Kensett (Thomas Moran) Books on the Hudson River School Painters of Faith by Gene Veith. American Paradise: The World of the Hudson River School Metropolitan Museum of Art exhibition catalog. by Trewin Copplestone. Knights of the Brush: The Hudson River School and the Moral Landscape by Frederick Turner. All That Is Glorious Around Us: Paintings from the Hudson River School by John Driscoll. The Hudson River School by Louise Minks. "It is a truth rarely in need of mention that works of art have an identity as material objects - that they are made of paint and bronze and cloth and wood. In recent times, to be sure, substance has asserted itself as subject, so that works of visual art often refer internally to the material conditions of their realization, and are about what they are made of. It would be false to ascribe so contemporary an aesthetic to the paintings of the Hudson River School, as it was somewhat derisively labeled, but it is also impossible not to be struck by their status as furniture - as objects of interior decoration that summon up the other components of domestic embellishment with which they converse in the plush language of comfort. With their oleaginous and varnished surfaces, as glowing as buffed mahogany, their heavily carved and gilded frames, their academic authority, their opulence verging at times on corpulence, these paintings surround themselves with tacit parlors and salons. They belong in the company of stuffed and tufted ottomans and Turkish carpets, of ormolu hardware and brass lamps, of fringed burgundy velvet and luminous damask, and rosewood pianofortes or elaborately fretted harmoniums on which accomplished daughters or young wives fingered hymns or songs of sweet melancholy concerning lost or distant loves. The scenes these paintings represent occupy those rooms of reassuringly thick prosperity like thought balloons, indoor embodiments of outdoor realities that correspond, in every spiritual particular, to the spaces in which they are suspended. The outdoors shows God's grace shed upon the American landscape as the indoors reflects that same grace bestowed in the medium of material success. As scenes and things at once, the Hudson River paintings communicate a double affirmation of divine blessing. They constitute the American wing of the Protestant ethic given cultural expression. They radiate self-congratulation and an almost cosmic complacency. "Writing of Claude Lorrain, an artist against whom the Hudson River painters measured themselves on their excursions abroad, Roger Fry said, "Claude's view of landscape is false to nature in that it is entirely anthropocentric. His trees exist for pleasant shade; his peasants to give us the illusion of pastoral life, not to toil for a living. His world is not to be lived in, only to be looked at in a mood of pleasing melancholy or suave revery." But I wonder if there ever was a form of landscape painting that is not "false" in this sense. The landscapes we represent are in effect texts in which our feelings and beliefs about nature, and hence about ourselves as inside and outside nature, are inscribed. According to Wen Fong, Travelers in a Wintry Forest, a twelfth-century Chinese painting after Li Ch'eng, transmits the proposition that "recluse scholars living in the mountains have rediscovered in nature a moral order lost in the human world." No such contrast is pointed in the Hudson River paintings, of course, because the natural and the social order for them were one - two modalities of divine presence in American reality. Through the metaphysical window of an oil painting its owner could see the face of God and almost hear the voice of God in the cataracts and echoing precipices of Catskill Mountain scenery. In an odd way, the paintings, in bringing God into the living rooms of the land, have almost the sacred office of religious icons. It says a great deal about the American mind in the early mid-nineteenth century that religious art took the form of landscapes that were Edenic, majestic, gorgeous and bombastic, rather than historical scenes of biblical enactment. It says a great deal as well about the mirror function of landscape painting that the transfigurative vistas of the Hudson River painters gave way, after the Civil War, to something more intimate and less awesome - to farms, for example, where sunsets mean the end of the day's labor, as the workman trudges homeward through diffuse illumination, rather than extravagant timberlands above which God addresses the nation through spectacular cloud formations flamboyantly lit up with cadmium reds and oranges. These were works of high Romanticism, illustrations, so to speak, of texts such as Coleridge's "Frost at Midnight": By lakes and sandy shores, beneath the crags Of ancient mountain, and beneath the clouds, Which image in their bulk both lakes and shores And mountain crags: so shalt thou see and hear The lovely shapes and sounds intelligible Of that eternal language, which thy God Utters. "The true province of landscape art," wrote Asher B. Durand, who was the leader of this school after the death of its founder, Thomas Cole, and in any case perhaps the paradigmatic Hudson River painter, "is the work of God in the visible creation, independent of man." Earlier he had written, "The external appearance of this our dwelling place is fraught with lessons of high and holy meaning, only surpassed by the light of Revelation." The crowds surging through the American Wing of New York City's Metropolitan Museum of Art to admire the marvelous and timely exhibition of Hudson River art are no doubt gripped by its visions of natural beauty in sites not greatly altered today, despite Grossinger's and Lake George Village. Still, one misses the point if one sees these paintings only or even chiefly as transcriptions after nature. They are, with qualification, incidentally that. It is not altogether wrong to say, as John K. Howat, the curator of the show does in an interview in The New York Times, that "you can practically smell the light." The illusion of transcriptional exactitude was only a means to an end. The end was to have been a work "imbued," according to Durand, "with that indefinable quality recognized as sentiment or expression which distinguishes the true landscape from the mere sensual and striking picture." That is a beautiful formulation of a distinction between a visual text and a mere picture, and it is my sense that the message that this is God's country must still come through to an audience still responsive to the sentimental assurances of "divine visual language." It is a message transmitted in the vocabulary of waterfalls and rushing streams, storm clouds and florid dawns, massed foliage and blasted tree trunks. It is this, I think, that must explain the popularity of the show rather than the message Howat believes the paintings communicate to us: "The natural environment is something we have to preserve." "It was the unmistakable rhetoric of these landscapes that caused a later generation of American artists to turn their back on a style that to them rang false in a different sense of the term than Roger Fry's. The American Pre-Raphaelites, who drew their artistic agenda from Ruskin's philosophy of "truth to Nature," dismissed these paintings exactly in the name of truth, and it is their insistent edification, their almost sermonic elevatedness, that makes some of us uncomfortable today. They were very good painters, many of them, but there is something of the PTL ministry in their aggregate material optimism that makes one wince makes one want to find falsity in their works in the way one is grateful to find moral sleaziness in the television evangelists. "Consider Kindred Spirits, a famous memorial to Thomas Cole executed the year after Cole's death by Asher Durand. It shows two men in a characteristic Catskill landscape - the poet William Cullen Bryant and Cole himself. Bryant's head is uncovered, surely in a gesture of reverence before the scenery being displayed by Cole. The scene itself is composed of two sites, perhaps as famous as the two men themselves: Kaaterskill Falls and the Kaaterskill Clove - a dramatic gorge which was, together with the falls, a favored motif. Now, it is altogether possible that Cole and Bryant stood upon that cantilevered rock. But it is not at all possible that they could have seen Kaaterskill Falls and the Kaaterskill Clove when they did so, for a perspective in which the two could be seen together is, as Barbara Buff writes, "geologically impossible." I am uncertain as to how this objective falsehood is to be interpreted. Cole himself had written, "The most lovely and perfect parts of Nature may be brought together, and combined in a whole that shall surpass in beauty and effect any picture painted from a single view." It would be anachronistic to imagine Cole depicted as pointing to an impossible conjunction as a tribute to his philosophy of art - Kindred Spirits would in that case prefigure Cubism. Rather, I think, the painting carries forward Cole's view that it is all right, even necessary, to falsify observed nature in the name of some higher truth. And Durand's tribute does aim at some higher truth, at the cost of falsehood before which, as Cole put it, "Time [would] draw a veil over the common details." Cole is pointing perhaps to two birds, soaring in the sublimity of God's fearful space, as metaphors, maybe, for poetic and painterly vision taking wing over mere detail. Durand thought of himself as rendering things as they are, but it remained consistent with his enterprise to regiment and rearrange visual detail in the interests of some spiritually convincing message. The rhetoric was too clamorous to fade when it no longer communicated to an audience willing to believe in it, and the veil of time made it, rather than the common details, what one finally saw. The Pre-Raphaelites turned from such work with a kind of moral revulsion. For them it became enough to paint a single twig, a pair of acorns, a nest of eggs or just one flower with botanical propriety. "The expression "divine visual language" comes from the great essay on vision by Bishop George Berkeley, and I derive a certain satisfaction from the fact that one of the later members of the Hudson River School, Worthington Whittredge, should have painted Second Beach, Newport at Newport, Rhode Island, with the famous Hanging Rocks that students of the history of philosophy will identify as the site where Berkeley's Alciphron is set. Berkeley had come to Newport for complicated and improbable reasons, and his former house stands today not far from the Hanging Rocks. Worthington has composed a horizontal and rather soft meditative picture, suitable to the circumstance - that what had once been the scene of theological speculation had become a place of recreation. It is instructive to compare the language God spoke in Rhode Island in 1732 with that which He spoke in New York in 1849. For Berkeley, God "daily speaks to our senses in a manifest and clear dialect." By this Berkeley meant that the sensed qualities of things are signs for other qualities as yet unsensed, and that in learning to read what Durand later called "the great book of nature" we come to learn which things are good for us and which we must avoid. Berkeley saw the world as a textbook of useful instructions. Durand saw it as a set of romantic engravings for an inspirational epic. By Durand's time, God was no longer in the things we sense daily, but spoke out only to those prepared to visit wild sublime formations. So the Hudson River artist sought out the most dramatic locations - the most stupefying heights and vistas, rendering the American landscape in the idiom of glory and power. It was his missionary undertaking to bring this terrifying beauty back in the form of engravings or chromolithographs - or to those who could afford them, paintings of an increasing dimension and grandeur - for the exaltation of patriots who saw in the effusions of a prodigal nature the greatness of American destiny. "Whittredge's Second Beach, Newport was done in 1878-80, and its quietness is almost shattering. One has the sense that God withdrew from the Catskills, and that artists had to travel to further and more inaccessible places to hear His voice at all. Paintings grew larger and larger, as if turning up the volume to catch the fading voice diminishing in the whirlwinds. The works of Church and Bierstadt impress us as having increased the scale in order to compensate for reluctant credibilities. Viewers must increasingly have had the sense that they were being manipulated, marvelous as the painting often was. After all, it was in the highest, most glacial mountaintops that Nietzsche proclaimed the death of God in 1883 through the persona of Zarathustra. It is very touching that the seashore Whittredge painted shows holiday-makers wading in gentle tides, washing quietly over the curved shore, with the Hanging Rocks as a brooding presence to which their backs are turned. The sky is cheery and the clouds are soft presences rather than heavenly syllables. God has quite withdrawn from Newport, as He quite withdrew from American landscapes when the paintings of the Hudson River School subsided into furniture and became all but forgotten. "There would be a kind of justice if these painters, nearly inaccessible to us through collisions in taste, should have a second life as reminders of the natural realities we visit today for the foliage and the waters. And there would be an irony if the strident natural theology were really made invisible and we should see in the works a world no longer powerful but at our mercy ~ up to us to defend and preserve rather than be thrilled by. But I doubt this is the message that comes through. Natural piety has not for some time been an available virtue for sophisticated sensibilities. But the artists of the Hudson River School were not painting for moral minimalists. There are those, of course, defined by formalist aesthetics, who are deaf to the tones of prayer in these works and see them simply in terms of spatialities and scales later taken up in New York painting. But for me, as for the enthusiastic visitors to the Met these days, these paintings belong to that genre of American overstatement Tocqueville identified as the other face of the practicality that defines us as a people. It is how we respond to that overstatement that determines what these paintings mean to us today." - From Arthur Danto, "Encounters & Reflections: Art in the Historical Present"	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0096.json.gz/line5

__label__wiki	0.627203	0.627203	Home \| Updates \| Join \| Donate About AWTW Bringing Pompeii back to life There are few ancient places that have the fascination of Pompeii. Corinna Lotz reviews a spectacular British Museum exhibition Pompeii, Bay of Naples, Italy, 2012 Herculaneum, Bay of Naples, Italy, 2012 Pompeii has exercised a huge influence on the imagination of countless people since it was entombed by a volcanic explosion in AD79. Here was an entire city of some 20,000 people, whose life was interrupted and ended in mid-flow. Long before systematic excavations began, local people in the Bay of Naples remained aware of the presence of not only Pompeii, but also the nearby town of Herculaneum. So much so, that from time to time they took marble and statues from the ruins for their own monuments. But it was not until the 18th century that extraordinary discoveries really began to gather pace. Mosaic of a guard dog. From the House of Orpheus, Pompeii, 1st century AD The spectacular show in the British Museum’s reading room space has been organised together with the Soprintendenza for Naples and Pompeii, the special archaeological authority created by the Italian state. It is the first time that so many artefacts from both towns have been brought together. The 450 objects are arranged so that we feel we are walking through a typical Roman house of the time – from the street to the pool-filled atrium, cooking, dining, sleeping areas and into the well-tended flower garden, complete with birds. The horror of the eruption nearly 2,000 years ago hits you from the start. The blast affected each city differently, enveloping people in molten lava in Pompeii and carbonising, thereby preserving, organic substances in Herculaneum. Bronze statue of a woman fastening her dress. From the Villa of the Papyrii, Herculaneum 1st century BC to 1st century AD Despite their fragility, wooden furniture (including a baby’s cradle) as well as huge brightly-coloured wall paintings have been brought from Italy to London. Through sculpture, jewellery, painting and mosaics to every day utensils, window glass, cooking and eating vessels, lamps and even rude graffiti – the lives of these long-lost people speak to us in an amazingly direct way. What gives these Romans, many of whom were freed slaves, such immediacy is that they clearly enjoyed life to the full – eating, drinking, arguing about politics, exercising their right to vote, making money and making love. Pompeii is thought to have had many brothels, but it is also apparent that wealthy people had erotic art on their bedroom walls. Explicit frescoes, sculpture and even wind chimes reveal a quite different attitude to sex than exists in our post-Christian world. It appears in a multitude of forms, ranging from wall paintings of mythic beings like Cupid and Psyche to semi-human satyrs and nymphs, to women who are angry with the goddess of love. One graffito carved on a wall is written by a girl who warns her man to beware of the goddess Venus – “the weaver of webs”. Through magnificent statues such as that of the Priestess Eumachia we get an idea of the power of the Roman matriarch as well as the skill of lost-wax bronze casting. The artistic styles range from assertions of force and status, to the most delicate rendering of blossoms in paint and precious metals. But it is in the art of portraiture that we come face to face with the citizens of these Roman towns. Wall painting of the baker Terentius Neo and his wife. From the House of Terentius Neo, Pompeii. AD 50 to 79 Busts of individuals like Lucius Caecilius Lucundus and the vivid fresco of Terentius Neo and his wife bring us up close and personal with the people of Pompeii. Terentius was a baker and his wife, elegantly coiffed and bejewelled, holds a stylus to her lips as though considering what to note down. Their images were found on the wall of a tablinium or reception room. Lucundus was an ex-slave who became a banker and businessman. He grew rich from auctions, loans and leasing property. A tablet from his archive records an auction which raised enough money to buy eight slaves or pay 40 soldiers for a year. Some 154 such writing tablets were found in the Lucundus archive. A huge collection of papyrus scrolls was found in Herculaneum and when unrolled, they can still be read. The closing section brings us up against the terrifying events which so cruelly ended the lives of the inhabitants of the two towns: people fleeing with sacks containing their jewellery, others hiding in corners, an entire household caught in mid-flight by the lava surge. The eruption of Vesuvius came out of the blue and they had no chance. Nothing could save them with temperatures reaching 450 degrees centigrade. In today’s world, despite the huge advance of science, natural disasters like earthquakes and tsunamis can still make human enterprises seem ephemeral and even puny. That’s why the record of that event – conveyed with such immediacy – speaks to us of the transience of humanity. Life and Death in Pompeii and Herculaneum is at the British Museum until 29 September. Admission £15 with a range of concessions. For evening lectures, discussions and free films see www.britishmuseum.org. App available for iPad, iPhone and Android.

Di Scipio, Agostino Copyright 1996-2013 Christopher Ariza. “The danger is great of letting oneself be trapped by the tools and of becoming stuck in the sands of technology that has come like an intruder into the relatively calm waters of the thought in instrumental music.” (Full citation) “The computing machine is a marvelous invention and seems almost superhuman. But in reality it is as limited as the mind of the individual who feeds it material. Like the computer, the machines we use for making music can only give back what we put into them.” “... the individual and the society are deprived of the formidable power of free imagination that musical composition offers them. We are able to tear down this iron curtain, thanks to the technology of computers...” “... the use of numerical machines no longer stands in need of justification. It is not a mystery. If there is a mystery, it is in the mental structures of music and not in the computers, which are only tools, extensions of the hand and the slide rule.” “... but beware, technique can submerge the user: We must defend ourselves; it is good to use techniques, but we have to dominate them, to stay alert.” “... and the hope of an extraordinary aesthetic success based on extraordinary technology is a cruel deceit.” “The characteristics of every sound depend on the way in which the sound was produced. Each art-form exploits its special production methods in order to endow the phenomena with unmistakable characteristics. Artistic economy demands that the means be appropriate to the end, and that the exploitation of the means be an end in itself.” “The use of computers is the logical outcome of a historical development. It by no means heralds a new musical epoch; it simply offers a fast, reliable and versatile means of solving problems that already demanded solution. The person who writes the computer programme must bear the development of musical language up to the present in mind, and try to advance a stage further.” “With the development of electronic and computer music, multidemnsionality of sound representation turned out to be both natural and useful. But music goes beyond multidimensionality -- it is even more complex.” “Composers are now able, as never before, to satisfy the dictates of that inner ear of the imagination. They are also lucky so far in not being hampered by esthetic codification -- at least not yet! But I am afraid it will not be long before some musical mortician begins embalming electronic music in rules.” “Music is then no longer primarily conceived as a guide for premeditated emotions, but as the density of the possible relationships which first become actuality during production under the influence of chance, and which during performance are presented to the listener as sounds beyond any environmental associatiations, independent of bodily actions required to produce sounds...”	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0096.json.gz/line10
__label__cc	0.694807	0.305193	Gamma, not Omega It appears the Chateau was correct. Andreas Lubitz was an embittered and heartbroken Gamma male, not a rage-filled Omega: Maria told the German newspaper Bild: "We got to know each other last year on a flight and exchanged numbers, then stayed in contact. We met in hotels, but it was difficult because of our jobs." Speaking of Lubitz's emotional make-up she described him as someone who was"nice and open minded" in public, but who needed constant love and reassurance in private. "He was a good man who could be very sweet. He brought me flowers," but she added that he suffered from the pressure of his job, stating: "We spoke a lot about work and then he became another person. He became agitated about the circumstances in which he had to work, too little money, anxiety about his contract and too much pressure." Maria said they eventually split up when she felt unable to deal with his growing problems and his increasingly volatile temper any more. "During conversations he'd suddenly throw a tantrum and scream at me. I was afraid. He even once locked me in the bathroom for a long time." German investigators refused to confirm whether the sick note, or the hospital treatment, related to depression, though Lubitz is reported to have taken time out from his pilot training after suffering mental illness before he finally qualified. As the hunt continued for a motive for Lubitz’s mass murder, it also emerged that he had recently split from his girlfriend, and appeared to have made a desperate last attempt to win her back by buying her a brand new Audi car only weeks ago. She appeared to have said no, as the car was never delivered. And some men wonder why women are instinctively creeped out and disturbed by grand gestures. It's a much finer line between "buying her a new Audi" and "crashing an airplane" than most people would like to believe. As much as the feminists find it hard to believe, women are in far more physical danger from the Gammas who supplicate to them and are eager to grant their every wish than they are from the Alphas who objectify and use them. Heartiste explains the difference: When I saw a photo of the guy, my gut told me he was a lovelorn beta male candidate who may have flew (heh) into a psychotic episode triggered by a relationship breakup. I decided against my gut, in favor of the more “PC” speculation. I should’ve stuck with my gut. News arrives that Lubitz was seeing a therapist to get over his fiancée dumping him. (NB: This isn’t omega male rage, a la Elliot Rodger. Omega males are sexless castaways. Beta males can get girlfriends, but are awful at maintaining relationship hand, so they frequently get dumped, what seems to them, out of the blue.) Nomennovum said... Lubitz looks gay. All his problems I bet stemmed from his repressed faggotry. He also made another mistake we've discussed here recently: dumping his feeeelings about his job out on his woman. We were better off when men stopped at the corner bar on the way home and decompressed from work with a couple drinks with the guys, instead of looking to their women for therapy. Without those kind of male-only spaces where men can roughly bolster each other, the modern Gamma's life has two parts: his job and his relationship. There's no one to give him perspective, remind him that there's more to life. If his job sucks, his relationship becomes everything, and the prospect of losing it overwhelming. "it also emerged that he had recently split from his girlfriend, " Sweet. I called it from the beginning. Check it out: These are the actions of a man unlucky in love, a young man recently broken-up with his girlfriend. It was written on his face. He had that "dump me" look. 'As much as the feminists find it hard to believe, women are in far more physical danger from the Gammas who supplicate to them and are eager to grant their every wish than they are from the Alphas who objectify and use them.' Two sides of the same coin. Both use women...just in different ways. One uses her feels, the other uses her body. Neither is a healthy strategy for men in the long run. But when the feels are taken away a man would be more prone to taking desperate measures. Whether they use women or not is beside the point especially considering women want to be used. Just not by Gammas. If there's a type I can never feel sorry for, it's Gamma. They believe they're owed for their time and efforts, even after being told their actions are unwanted. It's best to cut them off immediately instead of stringing them along because it turns into something terrible and they end up feeling used and can potentially lash out. I've seen this personally and it's awkward for everyone involved. No doubt gammas can be deadly, but that isn't what creeps women out about them. If it were, sites like FindAnInmate.com wouldn't be so popular. 'Whether they use women or not is beside the point especially considering women want to be used.' Women want to be loved...not used. Used reduces them to a utility. On a totally unrelated note that I wanted to share with everyone here, I had occasion yesterday to watch a short, well-dressed young man inflict some serious mate-guarding maneuvers on his girlfriend. It started with the hostile look he gave me as his gf (7/10) and I exited the elevator. He immediately put his arm around her as they walked off together, and then escalated it into an awkward series of touches and hugs, trying to pull her closer to him. She showed little reaction, acted stiff, and seemed much more interested in her smart phone than in him. It was odd. I've read about this sort of thing in the literature, and I've probably noticed it before without quite realising what it was. It was pretty amusing to watch this behavior in the wild with an understanding of what was going on. Women want to be loved Women want to be desired. 'Women want to be desired.' That's true. Women want to be desired...women need to be loved. S1AL said... "Women want to be loved...not used. Used reduces them to a utility." Both, actually. A woman wants to be used by the right kind of man, and especially by one who also loves her. "Women want to be desired." Different issue. One is existential, the other psychological. Yes, there's overlap. 'Both, actually. A woman wants to be used by the right kind of man, and especially by one who also loves her.' Yes it's both...but if you take the love part out, then it becomes a terrible mantra. "Yes it's both...but if you take the love part out, then it becomes a terrible mantra." That's the difference between descriptive and prescriptive statements. They serve different purposes. Don't men want to feel loved and desired, like women? I know I do, but I would never expect such a thing from the self-centered sex. The concept of reciprocity is anathema to women. Are they good for anything other than menial labor and giving birth? Even the latter is doubtful due to abortion rates. Doesn't sex get old when it is always one sided? Why is it always men who groom women in bed and never the other way around? Is it that the male body just ugly, or are only men capable of appreciating the bodies of their partners? 'Don't men want to feel loved and desired, like women?' Men want to be respected by their wife. This meaning she appreciates the sacrifices he makes and that's why she respects his authority in the marriage. It's not so good when a man is used and a woman thinks he is just a mule for her whims and she can be rebellious. Which is why I don't get why men think they can use women and it's a travesty when women use them. Women should just stay away from any man who wants to use or control them, be it emotionally or physically. Gammas and Alphas, as described, both seem like sexist creeps best avoided. "It's not so good when a man is used and a woman thinks he is just a mule for her whims and she can be rebellious. Which is why I don't get why men think they can use women and it's a travesty when women use them." I think you will find the double standards are laid on thick here. "Since women and men are different, it is okay to treat them different" is the justification; but it seems to always be manifested as an excuse for men treating women in a way thery never would accept being treated themselves, men pushing women into a role they would not accept for themselves. Vanir, do explain how the stunning success of fsog supports your hypothesis. "Men want to be respected by their wife." Respect is derived from fear. If women were capable of loving and empathizing with their men, there would be no need for "respect" Men are mules because they want to be. Men want women to use them because that's the only way they can give "meaning" to their lives. From childhood, men are conditioned to be addicted to female validation by their mothers. @vanir85 "Women should just stay away from any man who wants to use or control them, be it emotionally or physically." Not gonna happen until white knights and society as a whole stops protecting them from the consequences of their own mistakes. "excuse for men treating women in a way thery never would accept being treated themselves, men pushing women into a role they would not accept for themselves. " Could be because men and women are not the same except for different plumbing. phantom26d "Not gonna happen until white knights and society as a whole stops protecting them from the consequences of their own mistakes." - Consequences of their own mistakes? Yeah, that usually translates to "stop protecting women from what men do to them..." "Could be because men and women are not the same except for different plumbing." - Even if, so what? Differences does not excuse discrimination, treating someone as inferior, using them as a tool for ones own purposes. What more, differences is pretty much always used to excuse exactly things like this - it never goes the other way. Don't men want to feel loved and desired, like women? Yes, but what makes a man feel loved is very different. As Earl said, being respected is part of it. Loyalty is another big part. Seeing to his physical needs and wishes, from meals to sex, is another. As for being desired....I don't think men feel a need for that the way women do. We want our women to desire us because we want to have lots of good sex with them, and it's logical that that will be more likely to happen if they desire us. But I don't think a man feels an emotional need to be desired in itself. In fact, if he can't have sex with a woman -- say she's his wife's sister, for instance -- then while her desire might be flattering, it's also likely to be frustrating (if he desires her back) or annoying (if he doesn't). Dewave said... In a 50SOG world, how is it possible for anyone to claim with a straight face that women do not want to be used? They just want to be used by the right kind of man in the right relationship. This is reminding me of all the strenuous efforts to deny many women have rape fantasies. "Which is why I don't get why men think they can use women" Because the sexes are different. Also, see 50SOG. "- Consequences of their own mistakes? Yeah, that usually translates to "stop protecting women from what men do to them..." Would you rather women be considered responsible adults who don't need the protection of pesky men and can make responsible choices and defend themselves from danger, or Impulsive, immature teenagers whose brains stop developing at young adulthood and entirely dependant on male provisioning and protection? Fear not, men will adopt an appropriate response regardless of your choice. "Differences does not excuse discrimination, treating someone as inferior," Some people are "inferior" in various ways. Recognizing them as such does not precede "discrimination". @cailcorishev "As for being desired....I don't think men feel a need for that the way women do. We want our women to desire us because we want to have lots of good sex with them, and it's logical that that will be more likely to happen if they desire us." I can't speak for other men. I have zero interest in laying with someone who doesn't have a similar desire for me. "but it seems to always be manifested as an excuse for men treating women in a way thery never would accept being treated themselves" Women far more often treat men in a way they would never accept being treated. Look at the dating world: the man initiates, risks rejection, makes all the plans, takes all the risks, is constantly qualifying himself, etc. Women expect to be approached by an endless stream of suitors who will invest many resources in pursuing her, while she picks and chooses among them. Moving even a part if the male responsibility in mating to females makes them deeply frustrated and unhappy. "In a 50SOG world, how is it possible for anyone to claim with a straight face that women do not want to be used?" Because fiction is not reality? Enjoying a book about something does not mean you want to live it out in the real world. And it definetively does not mean you want your life to be dictated by the sentiments of that book. The sexes may have their differences, but so what? That neither excuses using someone, or their subjugation. "I can't speak for other men. I have zero interest in laying with someone who doesn't have a similar desire for me." Many men are willing to pay large sums of money to sleep with women who are completely uninterested in them. Of course the prostitutes who do best are the ones that feign an interest. I know Roissy covers both Deltas and Gammas under "beta", and I imagine that both groups get dumped by girlfriends, but in addition, it also looks like Gammas are more likely than Deltas to get divorced, or suffer a broken engagement. Women feel more comfortable with Deltas and are therefore less likely to go through the hassle of a divorce. If I had to make a wild guess, I'd say that married Gammas have a ~75% divorce rate, but for Deltas it's more like ~25%. And on the rare occasions when Omegas do get some, it's only in their 30s or older, to a female castaway their own age. In many if not most cases, it's their only sexual contact ever, and it's only temporary; they're eventually cut off within the marriage as well. I guess women should prepare for a civil gender war then, if men's "appropriate response" is that women should be subjugated and because they refuse to be held responsible for what men do to them. Dewave Different courtship? Not even comparable to men expecting women to act like their servants in the relationship. What you earlier described as what makes a man feel loved - his woman acting like his physical servant - is straight out dehumanizing - something these men would never accept themselves. "Enjoying a book about something does not mean you want to live it out in the real world" We are talking about erotic fan fiction here. People only buy and read that if they like the scenario contained within. Every woman who bought and enjoyed 50SOG did so because it expressed one of her sexual fantasies - in this case, to be used. Obviously it is ludicrous to claim something is not a sexual fantasy because you don't expect to live it out in the real world -- that is the definition of a sexual fantasy. "That neither excuses using someone" There is no need to make an excuse for using someone for their intended purpose. My wife uses me to fetch things off high shelves, move heavy objects, kill bugs, emotional support, etc. There is no problem with using a hammer to drive nails or a saw to cut wood. Only deeply unpleasant women are constantly paranoid in their relationships that their partner might be using them. Remember all the frigid whiners complaining about the woman who was going to make 300 sandwiches for her boyfriend? "because they refuse to be held responsible for what men do to them. " Yeah I know, anything bad happens to women is always men's fault. Women have no agenda of their own, so they can't be blamed for pining after alpha bad boys and "finding themselves" by sleeping around until their 30s with no one willing to marry their infertile, aging selves. Civil gender war? Don't be ridiculous. Women are too busy fighting each other over petty jealousy. And feminists are only ever interested in first-world problems such as fat-shaming, gender pay gap (false) or white male privilege rather than their sisters in far away countries being sold as sex-slaves. "Different courtship? Not even comparable" Of course it is comparable. Your original contention was that it was evil and dehumanizing for one sex to treat another in a way they wouldn't want to be treated. Women expect men to treat them in courtship in a way they would refuse to treat men: ergo, by your OWN definition, women are dehumanizing men and treating them as tools in dating. Or how about the Titanic? The women expected the men to go down with the ship, sacrifice themselves, that the women might be saved. They would not have treated the men the same way. More dehumanizing of males and treating them as tools! Your fundamental issue is that your claim, that one sex treating the other differently than it would like to be treated is problematic, is just completely and totally false. The sexes are different. They want to be treated in different ways. Now you are trying to wriggle away, shift the goalposts, and change your definitions. Not going to fly. "I guess women should prepare for a civil gender war then, if men's "appropriate response" is that women should be subjugate" You are wholly ignorant of history. No woman in the entire history of the world has been as free, powerful, and privileged as the women in America today. Women have been brutally repressed and subjugated in just about every other culture in just about the entirety of human history. Name ONE 'gender civil war' where such treatment drove the women to take up arms. Amazing prediction. My initial sense was, OK, we'll see as the evidence comes in, but it's probably a conversion to Islam or ... JPN, just plain nuts. The idea that someone would mass murder 150 other people because of some personal problem is unfathomable to me, i.e., "I'm upset about my girlfriend's rejection, so I'm gonna kill all my passengers who have nothing to do with this" ... yeah, not computing. I don't want to understand it. I mean, he has the money for an extra Audi -- he can't go on a drinking and whoring binge, and wake up in a flophouse in Hamburg, broke, with a headache, and ready for a fresh start? Or, as Snoopy once did, eat until he forgot ole "what's her name?" And what would the "consequences" be of women enjoying their own sexuality? Beause, you know, the ACTUAL consequences are something women already have to deal with - the simple causality of risking STDs and pregnancy (and the ways to deal with that). Consequences just happen. Sounds like what you want to do, is for men to be able to punish women for enjoying their freedom. And the civil gender war thing? Obviousle referring to what is needed IF men start trying to subjugate women again, for whatever justifications they cook up (i know men certainly have an advantage, but better to go out fighting than to be forced back in time). 'From childhood, men are conditioned to be addicted to female validation by their mothers.' Men are conditioned to receive love from their mothers. That's the only female on this planet capable of doing that with a man. "Obviousle referring to what is needed IF men start trying to subjugate women again, for whatever justifications they cook up (i know men certainly have an advantage, but better to go out fighting than to be forced back in time)." Are you predicting a gender civil war in the areas that are experiencing radicalizing Islam? These areas treated their women much better even 50 years ago. "Women have been brutally repressed and subjugated in just about every other culture in just about the entirety of human history." Wow, we actually agree on something. Thing is; I'm glad feminism ENDED the culture in the west that did this to women. Trouble is; many here seems to disagree with this. And my words about civil war; just my thoughts on what needs to happen if men try to force women back to those days. And yes, maybe women can't win such a fight - but they can die trying, and that is preferable to being subjugated like women were in the past. 'Respect is derived from fear. If women were capable of loving and empathizing with their men, there would be no need for "respect" Respect is the fear of losing the authority figure because of the possible consequences. Women are capable of respecting a man. What we got now is the lie that women are their own authority figure (which oddly enough doesn't erase the fear) and by that they erode the true authority. Punish women? Far from it. Ideally I would prefer women be able to sleep with whomever they damn well please. It might be difficult to maintain civilization in such a setup, then again the current one is doomed to fail anyway.. sooner the better. As much as I don't want women to be "punished" for enjoying themselves, I also don't want society to compensate them for their bad choices and protect them from the results of their impulsive behaviour. I want no more unjustified wealth transfer from men to women. No more false rape charges without due process, no more alimony, no child support, no free abortions, no birth control pills on taxpayer money, no nothing. You really think women would "die trying" to protect the insane privileges they have now that they never had to work for? Everything women have has been given to them by men. Their rights, privileges, applications / inventions that make their lives easier, the society, legal system, cities and infrastracture that they enjoy. The only reason women have so much power over men now, through rape-culture, demonizing male sexuality, no fault divorce, alimony / child support et cetera is because the men at the top of the hierarchy use them as enforcers of the current social order which keep other men beaten down, docile and controlled. If Powers That Be wanted women to be subjugated again, the pendulum would swing back and crush women before you could scream "Patriarchy!" Thing is; I'm glad feminism ENDED the culture in the west that did this to women. Trouble is; many here seems to disagree with this. Heh. Just... heh. Feminasties just don't get that they just ENDED the one culture on Earth that actually did believe in women's dignity. And what's with the feminasty trolls lately? First High Arka (assuming she isn't a sock puppet of insanitybytes, which I'm not convinced of yet), and now this vanir85 broad. "What we got now is the lie that women are their own authority figure" And that is absolutely a preferable situation. People should be the dominant person in their own life, be they man or woman. If you go through life with someone else calling the shots, you might as well be an automaton - not a human being. No one should have more authority over a woman, than the woman herself. If you go through life with someone else calling the shots, you might as well be an automaton... Even Bob Dylan knows you've Gotta Serve Somebody "Feminasties just don't get that they just ENDED the one culture on Earth that actually did believe in women's dignity." Earlier (or previous, if you prefer) western culture was just as bad and limiting for women as other misogynist cultures. And that's what feminism ended; without feminism, women would still be chattel passed from father to husband, housebound, dependent, oppressed, subjugated, without a say in larger society - destined to live as voiceless shadows in a man's world. Western culture was nothing special with regards to women's rights. It was feminism that elevated it above the rest. Guys, High Arka is GG/Insanity Bytes, etc. Vanir is version 2.0, equally impervious to logic and reality. I wouldn't waste a lot of time on her. You do realize submission is the reciprocal property to authority? When a woman willingly does that with her husband they both receive true power. There is nothing robotic about it. In fact I think women have more power through their influence than trying to be authority figures. "Because fiction is not reality? Enjoying a book about something does not mean you want to live it out in the real world. And it definetively does not mean you want your life to be dictated by the sentiments of that book. " Looks like we caught ourselves a live one here. Im curious, why would you puncuate a statement with a question mark? Are you such a feminized estrogen fueled cunt that you lost all ability to converse with men as a man would? Women absolutely want to be subjugated and dominated, especially sexually and thats the undeniable truth. Or do you imagine men dont really want hot, thin 18 yr old girls? Even high testosterone manjaws long to be at the heel of the man deemed worthy. I have zero interest in laying with someone who doesn't have a similar desire for me. Right, but the point for a man is still the sex. The point for a woman is the desire -- she wants to be desired, even by men she has no opportunity for sex with. A woman wants to walk into a room and have all the men desire her, period. (Interestingly, she also wants all the women to desire the man she's with.) She'll go home from that room happy because of being desired. A man might get a charge out of being desired by all the women in the room, but if he doesn't have sex with any of them, he'll soon wonder what's the point. That's why men's porn is all sex, while women's porn includes many scenes where the woman is desired by awesome men who can't have her until the end of the story for one reason or another. Feminists are more misogynistic than anything that preceded them From whence proceeds authority, and by what means is it retained? Until you can answer that question, you can't justify the worldview where each person ought to have full and exclusive authority over his person and activities. Not that you'll ever be able to justify that position because it's self-contradicting, but that's beside the point. A woman wants to walk into a room and have all the men desire her, period. I absolutely do not buy that women want to be desired, except maybe on a superficial level. If they did, slobbering Gammas would have no trouble in the sexual marketplace, and aloof Sigmas would get nowhere. "Feminists are more misogynistic than anything that preceded them" Yes, The feminists that fought for legal and social equality actually hate women more than the chauvinist scum who wanted women to remain subjugated to men... The ones who wanted women to be free and have a choice, actually hate them more than those who wanted women to remain underheel. What? Because some feminists (like me) are frustrated with women who choose to remain in their cage, that means feminists are more hateful of women in general - than scum who want all women forced into cages, period? Now you're just getting silly. If women really have been subjugated through human history, what does that tell you? Maybe they really are inferior in terms of intelligence and judgement. Maybe they don't mind being subjugated, or even PREFER it even. Women have submitted to powerful men thru all history. Submissiveness is a conveinent front for parasitsm. Would it be a stretch to claim that women are parasites? That aside, women could never have entertained the illusion of being "strong and independent" without an already existing civilization built and maintained by men to protect them from savages and wild animals. "A woman wants to walk into a room and have all the men desire her, period. (Interestingly, she also wants all the women to desire the man she's with" That's just evil. @Earl Thomas "You do realize submission is the reciprocal property to authority? When a woman willingly does that with her husband they both receive true power. " I don't think she can even understand what you're trying to convey. The feminists that fought for legal and social equality actually hate women more than the chauvinist scum who wanted women to remain subjugated to men... The ones who wanted women to be free and have a choice, actually hate them more than those who wanted women to remain underheel. Glad you understand and agree. This is why women like you don't accept the choices that other women make to take on traditional roles. The majority of women actively seek out what you denigratingly call a "cage." S1AL "From whence proceeds authority, and by what means is it retained? Until you can answer that question, you can't justify the worldview where each person ought to have full and exclusive authority over his person and activities." Actually, I can (you really expect me to base myself on the same philosophies you do)? A person owns themselves and their own life, no one else does. A woman owns herself, and she should determine herself what she does with that property. Giving away this control willingly..? Just pathetic. Claiming you have the right to have this control over someone else? Monstrous. Ownership of something implies the right to transfer ownership. Your worldview is inherently contradictory. Women own themselves... unless they do something you happen not to like. Noa B "The majority of women actively seek out what you denigratingly call a "cage."" The majority of women got out of their cage as soon as they could. The majority of women would fight, tooth and nail, to not be forced back into them. The true misogynists are those who hate women who embrace the freedom given them by feminism, those who hate feminism for giving women this freedom. "Actually, I can (you really expect me to base myself on the same philosophies you do)? A person owns themselves and their own life, no one else does. A woman owns herself, and she should determine herself what she does with that property. Giving away this control willingly..? Just pathetic. Claiming you have the right to have this control over someone else? Monstrous." You make that claim with no basis, which is the point I was making. You say that "a woman owns herself," yet you offer no justification for this assertion. If history is an earnest guide, then one may rightly say that - through slavery or otherwise - the vast majority of people have direct experience that this claim is fundamentally incorrect. If you cannot prevent me from taking "ownership" of your person, then you cannot claim that you incontrovertibly own yourself. So I ask again: from whence proceeds authority? A significant number of women have always been laborers of various sorts. That option has always been open. Feminism consists of those rejects for whom a good marriage was never a realistic option attacking the women who have achieved the security and happiness the feminists themselves could only dream about. Feminism is only needed by ugly, bitchy women. Do you think Cindy Crawford really gives a shit about feminism? Conscientia "Feminism is only needed by ugly, bitchy women." No, feminism was needed by any woman who wanted freedom, and cherished by any woman who wants to keep it. Corvinus, I should have said she wants to be desired by all the attractive men in the room -- all the men who aren't invisible to her, in other words. That doesn't include the Gammas. The point is, she wants to be desired by far more men than she would ever have sex with. A standard fantasy for girls is walking into a ballroom in a great dress and having all the men turn and look at her -- and all the other women there envy her. A man typically only cares whether a woman desires him to the extent it affects sex with her. "No, feminism was needed by any woman who wanted freedom, and cherished by any woman who wants to keep it." Right. The ugly bitchy ones. You two seem to be talking past each other. "If you cannot prevent me from taking "ownership" of your person, then you cannot claim that you incontrovertibly own yourself." Might makes right to owning a person, more than being that person does? Yeah. I'm thinking we're pretty far from any common ground. For my money; being able to take someone a slave, does not give the right to - not in any way. Noah, I know. She's obsessed with me. "Might makes right to owning a person, more than being that person does? Yeah. I'm thinking we're pretty far from any common ground. For my money; being able to take someone a slave, does not give the right to - not in any way." You're dodging the question. I have made no claims whatsoever regarding the morality of the situation, simply the reality of it. So, again, from whence proceeds authority? Attractive women don't need or want freedom? They are happy being subjugated and without a voice? Then good thing there seems to be more smart and capable women than attractive ones. Many of them are also quite pretty in my eyes, Like Emma Watson. But hey, if you say she's ugly... well, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, i guess. What's evil about it? If you mean the second part, that's how she confirms that she chose a valuable man and that a valuable man desires her. There's a scene early in the movie "European Vacation" (yes, I'm into the classics) where each Griswold has a dream on the flight to Europe. Ellen's dream is of she and her husband Clark entering a party at Buckingham Palace and hobnobbing like old friends with the royal family, and Princess Diana having an unrequited crush on Clark. That's the dream that puts a smile on her face -- an attractive, desirable woman (this was before she was a laughingstock) wanting her husband. To a man, that's stupid: why would you want the competition? But a woman eats up that validation of her husband's attractiveness. Even though it comes with the risk that the other woman might win him away, she prefers that to having a husband no other woman would look twice at, because that would mean she picked a lemon. "from whence proceeds authority" Over oneself? From being an adult human being. Over others? From them giving it, WILLINGLY and from a position of actual choice, not because society dictates it or pushes them into a position where they have no choice. If you want some "magic" source, like a god, you are barking up the wrong tree. Haus frau said... I dated a severe gamma for a time. When we would fight, which was frequently because it made him the focus of attention, he would often threaten to commit suicide. I wanted to break up with him long before I did because it felt like I had no safe place to leave him, if that makes sense. It appeared to me that outside of being pathetic manipulation the suicide threats were also a weird form of proclaiming romantic devotion. It still disgusts me to recall it though. I feel sorry for the ex fiance. "Over oneself? From being an adult human being. Over others? From them giving it, WILLINGLY and from a position of actual choice, not because society dictates it or pushes them into a position where they have no choice. " So your assertion is that being an adult gives one full, autonomous, and complete authority over oneself, regardless of circumstance? Equally, your assertion is that, should I choose not to recognize the authority of existing government or social institutions, those institutions automatically have no authority over my person? And I do hope the irony of someone going by the name "Vanir" bitching about "a god" isn't lost on you. But no, I'm not interested in a metaphysical debate on the moral nature of authority. I am interested in pointing out the flaws in your view of functional authority. Corvinus, I should have said she wants to be desired by all the attractive men in the room -- all the men who aren't invisible to her, in other words. That doesn't include the Gammas. Part of a man being attractive is in his keeping his cards close to his chest about whether or not he actually does desire her. Which is also why when Gammas do get "lucky", it's almost always with women that they don't actually desire, or at least not very much. So no, women don't want to be desired, although they may think they do. Instead, they doll themselves up to the nines and then select the man who seems least affected by their beauty. (Note I said "affected", not "impressed". Gammas can easily be "not impressed", but they're still certainly "affected".) "What's evil about it? If you mean the second part, that's how she confirms that she chose a valuable man and that a valuable man desires her." The fact that she's not content with only her man's attraction, in addition to enjoying to tempt both men and women around them. "A valuable man", huh. As if she herself possesses or deserves any value. I know this should not be, but sometimes women make me sick. "Many of them are also quite pretty in my eyes, Like Emma Watson. But hey, if you say she's ugly... well, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, i guess." Not saying I wouldn't hit that, but poor thing, her head has been filled with so much garbage. She's just saying what she thinks she needs to say to advance her career. The typical (and natural) restriction being that your freedom and authority over yourself, ends where someone elses freedom and authority over themselves begin. Your right to autonomity is not greater than anyone elses, after all. And from there springs laws that line up property, outlines how to share roads without driving each other to death, etc. There are some laws I would agree a person could break without it being morally wrong (f.ex it should be your own damn business if you smoke weed or not) - but society tends to need som shared laws to function. So, moving on; As for recognizing laws. There is a difference between reality and morality (like you stated before). For practical reasons, a democracy tends to be a good way to agree on shared laws - with every person's authority being measured the same in the ballot (I realize that there are problems with how the electory system works in practice, but that's another discussion). "So no, women don't want to be desired, although they may think they do. Instead, they doll themselves up to the nines and then select the man who seems least affected by their beauty." I agree with cail here. Women want to be desired by men they find desirable. The same applies to men, though being desired is less important to them than to women. Women tend to dislike a man who is overtly fawning over their beauty -- they prefer men who indirectly communicate their attraction. All of which can be done quickly and simply with body language. So... society is a collective surrender of authority for... mutual benefit? And, as a result, society becomes the higher power to which its citizenry... submit? Huh, imagine that. More like society is (should be) an arrangement where every individual in the collective retains as much personal authority as possible, and has an equal say in matters that affect the society as a whole (which is what democracy attempts to accomplish). F.ex. In a family, the optimal is for both the man and the woman to retain the say over their own life, while having equal authority over matters of the family itself. No one is the "head" in a fair arrangement. All right y'all, don't feed the troll. Her worthless verbiage is cluttering up the thread. Women tend to dislike a man who is overtly fawning over their beauty -- they prefer men who indirectly communicate their attraction. All of which can be done quickly and simply with body language. @Noah B That is more accurate. I'll add that it doesn't even need to be conscious, except when actually making a move. But still, "women want to be desired" is a very misleading statement. Even "women want to be desired by an attractive man", while better, is still misleading. Rather, I'd phrase it as, "women want to mine for the $10,000/oz desire of an alpha who won't give it up." And even when he does, it's only in dribs and drabs. Life isn't fair, Vanir. That's the fundamental problem with your entire worldview. You are operating in a hypothetical world which has minimal bearing on reality. That's why you don't understand the very concept of submission, irrationally comparing it to slavery or a cage. You don't grasp that benefits of the surrender of authority for personal and mutual benefit, despite the fact that you live in a civilization that is only possible because of that principle. Furthermore, you don't grasp the incredibly obvious fact that functional authority is a derivation of power. And that, of course, is why you so inanely believe that "feminism" resulted in modern society, and not the reverse. You've put the tail before the horse, then chopped off the horse's head and declared it to be a "natural and obvious" state. Republicanism led to democracy, and democracy will eventually lead to tyranny. This fact was recognized almost 250 years ago by Benjamin Franklin, shortly before the ratification of the Constitution. All of history indicates this path. You mistakenly believe that history is moving in a fixed direction... this is simply not true. Society will eventually revert, most likely as soon as the ab-scarcity era vanishes. @Corvinus/Noah - I'd say it's more an issue of the nature of the attraction - men prefer to be attractive for their accomplishments and capabilities, rather than for looks. That's why you see a lot of guys who are very successful in their professions/whatever who simply Do. Not. Get. It. when it comes to dressing fashionably. The very concept of looks and apparel conveying status is foreign to them. Yes, I'm lecturing myself right now. "Life isn't fair" - obviously, if it was, feminism would have been introduced to our specie, and been a guiding principle, from somewhere before we even climbed up in the trees. But as humans one struggles to make things more fair, only monsters revel in the unfairness and take advantage of it to their benefit. "Authority is a derivation of power"... so, your basis IS that might makes right - you just go a roundabout way to make it sound more justified. But yes, surrendering to someone because they are stronger - IS putting oneself in slavery. Better to gang up and destroy the mighty monster and thereafter live free as equals. Giving up your freedom - subjugating yourself - is not worth it no matter what your master "provides"... those who give up freedom for safety shall have neither, and all that... And maybe your type will manage to drag the world back into the tyrannical cesspool it just climbed out of. I don't know, but I promise you will have to fight people like me every step of the way. The only way women go into the subjugated hell you want for them, is at gunpoint - if even then. You? Fight? What are you going to do? Beat us with your purse? Threaten not to have sex with us? Giving up your freedom - subjugating yourself - is not worth it no matter what your master "provides"... those who give up freedom for safety shall have neither, and all that... Do you realized that you're paraphrasing a man and this was just his tricky way to keep women oppressed? Janis Joplin, on the other hand, said that freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose. Freedom is slavery. I think that, for women, men desiring them is like having clean fresh water to drink - taken for granted when it's abundant, but really, REALLY missed when it's scarce or absent. I mean, she's basically using "The Golden Compass" as a talking-point outline. What do you expect? She's parroting William Z. Foster and she doesn't even know it. I posted an analysis of Foster up thread by Alan Stang. Well, I agree with Benjamin Franklin on this one. Although, he may not have even considered women to be human enough for this to apply to them, you can still consider the sentiment appropriated by at least this feminist. "Freedom is Slavery" - yeah. still not buying that one. Freedom is freedom and it is in every way preferable to being subjugated, submissive, dependent, enslaved or "protected". The best theory I ever heard for feminism was that it was invented by men who wanted to make it easier to get laid. Thus emerged the myth of the slut as an empowered woman. Puppet doesn't know it's a puppet Puppet gonna puppet. 'Ello poppet! The freedom to live out ones sexuality is certainly more empowering than neurotically having to keep ones leg together like some madonna on a pedestal. However, the important thing with having or not having sex, is to make ones choices to please oneself - and not men. Don't act a virginal angel to appease men who hate female sexual agency, and don't be a mastubatory tool for horny dudes to pleasure themselves with. A woman should do whatever she does for her own reasons. A woman should do whatever she does for her own reasons. Reason obviously has little to do with motivating feminists. Hence the total lack of difficulty in accepting beliefs that are immediately observed to be contradictory by any thinking person: feminists consider having sex with random strangers to be empowering, but providing a husband with sex means being used as a masturbatory tool for horny dudes. "feminists consider having sex with random strangers to be empowering, but providing a husband with sex means being used as a masturbatory tool for horny dudes." Neither what I wrote, nor what I intended to convey. It's empowering to engage in sex when you, yourself, want to (preferably without chauvinist double-standard bs attached). Be it with strangers or a partner. "It's empowering to engage in sex when you, yourself, want to (preferably without chauvinist double-standard bs attached). Be it with strangers or a partner." Then there's nothing wrong with wanting to sexually please someone else. This is what a feminist looks like -- a woman who lets random alphas piss all over her because it's so empowering and stuff. http://www.salon.com/2015/03/23/the_orgy_prude_how_i_finally_admitted_i_dont_like_meaningless_porn_star_sex/ The change in diagnosis doesn't feel right. I think Omega is still more likely. I conceive of Gammas as being dopamine chasers, who use the anterior cingulate cortices to down-regulate the amygdala by fueling delusions of grandeur, like proper narcissists. Omegas are characterized by despair and internalization of a pattern of failure- their strategy is to conserve energy rather than spending it to decrease cortisol and increase dopamine. Put a piece of chocolate in front of an Omega and he'll eat it, but if it's across the room he might not spend the energy to get up and walk to it. Put a piece of chocolate in front of a Gamma, and he'll eat it for the dopamine and then engage in self-deceit about his weight to down-regulate the stress. Retrenched Being able to act out ones desires (large or small), if one wishes to do so, certainly is empowering. But the key phrase her is - "if one wishes to do so" - to act in a way one really doesn't want to, is not a good thing. Um...my overall point was that sex doesn't necessarily disqualify an Omega diagnosis, because it might have been perceived as a risk-free proposition. Sex suggests higher SSMV in general, but the essence didn't feel right in this case. Gammas are better characterized as having little to no perceptual acuity. If we cut open their brains, I'd expect a very high ratio of white matter to gray matter, and similarly a high ratio of verbal intelligence to visuospatial intelligence. Ergo, women who want to be good wives and please their husbands are empowered. As are the men who reject feminists. Don't you just love all this empowerment? On women and feeling desired, loved, etc: I'm going to guess that women want to be sexually objectified and this requires a degradation of their higher faculties. Kinda like how neurotic people can't get it up without alcohol to break the tension. Probably the more prideful women are, the more they need to be humiliated to get properly aroused. Heh, you'll love this post: Hamster of the Month And women who want to screw around, and who want to have sex only when they themselves are horny - and do so - are also empowered. So are men who want women as equals, not as submissive wifebots, and desire feminists. Empowerement lies in being able to do what one wants and get what one desires (preferably without getting any crap for it - be it traditional moralism or chauvinist double standards). The Greeks understood the problem thousands of years ago. Hubris, a kind of grandiose insanity. In the pilot, case, going out in what he considered a blaze of glory. That cannot be understood while trapped in the Greek alphabet soup mix of the Manosphere. Equality in this world is a myth. We are only equal before God. I'm going with Gamma. An Omega wouldn't have been even able to start a relationship with any woman, until maybe he's north of 35, and then only with a woman his own age. He was at least able to get to the engagement stage. That all may be true, but it's likely that Mr. Lubitz was also like this until he snapped. Plus, he was on psychotropic drugs. That said, it's my impression that there is some overlap between how Gammas and Omegas behave. For example, I think of those Omegas who "hate women with a borderline homicidal fury" as actually very low Gammas in a lot of ways. Whereas, there are also men who have a Gamma level of sexual success with women, but resemble your conventional Omega in being lazily asocial and indifferent. (There are likewise those asocial men with Delta, Beta, or Alpha levels of success with women; the last category is what Vox calls Sigma.) So while overall, Gammas do better in the sexual marketplace than Omegas due to their social natures, this isn't always true. vanir, since according to what passes for your logic we're all empowered regardless of what we do, you have no basis for complaining about the actions of anyone else. Including wives choosing to be sexbots or husbands demanding their wives be sexbots. And note that Omegas are indifferent toward society, rather than hating it. Lubitz strikes me as being very resentful and wound-up, based on the description of his behavior toward his ex-fiancée. And that, together with his Gamma level of success with women, makes him a Gamma. Re: Suicide. Gamma suicides are going to be more feminine in character. Impulsive, and likely to back out or fail because they don't really want to die. And they're going to make a bunch of noise in the meantime because it's all about the attention. Omega suicides are lengthily premeditated and often very analytical in character. Sure, Lubitz' suicide was premeditated, but it wasn't very analytical, and it had the Gamma quality of attention-whoring. Whereas you often don't know an Omega has committed suicide until someone finds his body rotting a month after the deed was done. >And note that Omegas are indifferent toward society, rather than hating it. Quite the contrary. I, personally, hate society with a passion you probably can't fathom or understand. I'm only an unusually forthcoming Omega: lots of other Omegas lurk here without posting. This hate transfers to civilization by association because the result of civilization is even more "society". See the Unabomber Manifesto for illustration. But I understand these are feelings, and have nothing to do with moral behavior, and certainly don't reflect well on my lord and savior. Many Omegas don't have this restraint on their behavior, so they are often ticking time bombs. "Demanding" is the problem. Trying to push someone to be something they likely don't want to be. If a wife wants to be a doormat, then no problem - but a man doesn't have the right to force her to be one, he must find one who desires to be one. >Whereas you often don't know an Omega has committed suicide until someone finds his body rotting a month after the deed was done. Often the case, but not always. I've always figured that if I'm going to kill myself, I ought to at least do everyone else the courtesy of suicide bombing some important bastion of evil. Since I'm participating pretty heavily in the thread anyway, I'd like to point out that Trust made a great point here: >No doubt gammas can be deadly, but that isn't what creeps women out about them. If it were, sites like FindAnInmate.com wouldn't be so popular. One slight modification, a creepy Gamma murderer probably gives a better first impression than a law-abiding, creepy Gamma. The murder didn't take away the creepy, but it independently gives the Gamma a small boost in sexiness. Demanding is not the same thing as forcing. Demanding is saying that if you do X, I will do Y. Y may or may not involve force. For instance a man can say, "You will agree to have sex with me when I want or I will not marry you." That is a demand but is not force. Are you claiming that all demands are problematic, or only those that you don't like? I see. When I was an Omega, I was more of an indifferent babyface rather than one who despised and hated the broader world and society, so I guess I was projecting. I just think of the broader society as being really stupid because of political correctness, SJWs, Cultural Marxism, etc., but I don't think I've ever crossed the line into hating and despising it, except on rare occasions. Now I'm trying to determine the difference between Gammas and bitter Omegas. At this point, I'd guess that Gammas at least make a twisted pretense of loving society and try to be in it (hence their tendency to be SJWs), unless they receive a reverse from a woman and snap, whereas bitter Omegas don't even bother. In other words, Gammas only hate the alphas whereas bitter Omegas hate the society itself. >That said, it's my impression that there is some overlap between how Gammas and Omegas behave. For example, I think of those Omegas who "hate women with a borderline homicidal fury" as actually very low Gammas in a lot of ways. Good point. For illustration purposes, it's important to remember that most Omegas are former Gammas where a few things broke along the way due to stress events. Part of the problem here is that the story about Lubitz is still changing. Early this morning the story was that he told his girlfriend he was going to do something so terrible his name would never be forgotten, and she ran as quickly as she could. I would have said that was Omega. Today the story is that Lubitz told her this after she had already left him. That sounds more like Gamma. xxxx said... Oh my God! BWAH HA HA HA!! Vanir you should go to the Saturday Night Live! HAHAHAHA. Can't stop laughing about all your bullshit! HAHA! Women should prepare for a civil war? HAHAHAHA Women would fight, tooth and nail!!! Really laughing my fucking ass off!!! And she says.... HA HAHAHAHA...HAHHAA... And she says....HAHAHA. I CAN'T I CAN'T. She says that "women can die trying". HAHAHAHA. Please, Vanir, what drugs are you smoking???? Ok. I will try. I will try. Breathing deeply now. It's hard not to laughing my ass off before such a crap. Women fighting? Women dying because of an ideal? When has this happened in all the history of mankind? Women dying? They hear a bullet from one hundred yards and they run to escape like crazy. They see a cockroach and ask the men to kill it. Men can tremble...tremble... before such an impressive army!!!! HAHAHAHA. Women resisting anything until dying for an ideal is BS. They have always sided with the victor and spread their legs. When Nazi Germany conquered France, French women were very happy of receiving them with the legs open. When Nazis were defeated, French women were happy of receiving the Allies with the legs open. Women in every country conquered by Islam had submitted and spread their legs. The only thing that women can do is whine, bitch and complain. Western men.made the mistake of paying attention to all this bitching and gave women what they wanted so they can keep on bitching. How many women have carried a weapon to fight for feminism? How many women have gone to war or died to fight for feminism? Or for any other ideology? It's only bitching and complaining. This is the only "fight" women can do. And then spreading their legs for the victor once the battle is over. All this feminism and women's studies classes have melt your brain, Vanir, because you believe such nonsense. If there is a proof that women have inferior thinking skills is you, Vanir. Your world of fantasies is very far away from reality. Let me help, I speak fem. Preparing for civil war = not having sex with us For a few days Now I'm trying to determine the difference between Gammas and bitter Omegas. The difference between hatred and contempt/pity is which side of the power dynamic you're on. Inferior people and races hate superior people and races, whereas superiors feel detached contempt for inferiors. Imagine the dynamic between a prisoner and a prison guard. If the prisoner takes a dislike to the guard, this dislike will be expressed as hatred. If the guard takes a dislike to the prisoner, this dislike will be expressed as contempt. For further illustration, I don't hate women with homicidal fury because I'm not really interested in having sex with them. They don't have that power over me. But I hate society because it has a lot of power over me. Well. One advantage of embracing Islamism is that we'd see men like you be enslaved and put in the place you want women to be in. Now if it was just possible without women also becoming slaves... Beyond that, not gonna bother answer you. You represent everything about the misogynist earlier/previous western civilization that was rotten and needed to be ended. Translation from fem: We won't actually fight you, but someone else might! No, that was more a digression. The only people in the world who actually deserve subjugation, slavery, are misogynist men who'd like to see women under their feet. They truly deserve the fate they would wish for others. As for fighting. Depends on how such a conflict developed, obviously. And then we will spread our legs for our Islamic overlords and will be accepting a subordinate role and loving it. The lady doth protest too much. It's happening in Europe, where I am from. Beyond that, not gonna bother answer you. So relieved!!! So relieved!!! I thought you were going to find me and fight me with this army of women you are creating, these women that are going to die trying (trying to run for their life where real danger happens). I Thank you for sparing my life. I was trembling of fear. Seriously, you need to quit drugs, Vanir. Soga said... What's also funny is that vanir is basically describing an (more) incoherent version of communism. It's like the Bible says: There is nothing new under the sun. "No, that was more a digression. The only people in the world who actually deserve subjugation, slavery, are misogynist men who'd like to see women under their feet. They truly deserve the fate they would wish for others." Since you have rejected the premise that men and women are equally empowered and it is acceptable for us all to pursue our own desires, and instead you prefer a contest of strength and will, there is no reason whatsoever for me to care about your subjugation when you inevitably lose. "Since you have rejected the premise that men and women are equally empowered" I have? I certainly WANT a society where men and women are equally empowered. And the use of force is only acceptible in self-defence - such as if men try to force women to submit, like they did before. That was the basis for my whole "civil war" statement. I certainly do not want to see people subjugated - but I make an exeption for those who wish to subjugate others. If you prefer to see women under men's heel - you deserve the same fate yourself, as you wished on them. "The majority of women got out of their cage as soon as they could. The majority of women would fight, tooth and nail, to not be forced back into them" Where is this majority of women fighting against radical resurging Islam that is taking away all the rights and freedoms they enjoyed just do cades ago? "And the use of force is only acceptible in self-defence - such as if men try to force women to submit, like they did before. " What if a woman wants a man to force her to submit? You would support a woman's right to choose that, right? You admitted more than you intended to. To you, women can want anything and it's OK. However, it's not OK if men want women to have traditional roles or otherwise do anything you consider misogynist. That is a high crime that cannot be forgiven. I know logic is not your strong suit, but it therefore follows that you have rejected the premise of equality. Deawave "What if a woman wants a man to force her to submit?" Then it wouldn't really be force. I suppose. Problem with this, it's usually an excuse made in the same way as "her mouth says no - but her eyes says yes". A man's excuse for doing what he wants despite a woman's words. "Then it wouldn't really be force." Neither is misogyny. "if men want women to have traditional roles or otherwise do anything you consider misogynist. That is a high crime that cannot be forgiven." If someone wants to see others under their heel, that is what they deserve for themselves. That's all i claimed, no more and no less. That is not the same as wanting men punished for wanting a woman who willingly submits (how disgusting that may ever be). "If someone wants to see others under their heel, that is what they deserve for themselves. That's all i claimed, no more and no less." Wrong. That is not what you claimed. You only applied this to "misogynist men." Quoting you: The only people in the world who actually deserve subjugation, slavery, are misogynist men who'd like to see women under their feet. Yes. "misogynist men who'd like to see women under their feet." = misogynist men who would like to see women subjugated (regardless what the women themselves want). You're reducing the meaning of an entire line, to just two of its words. Hey look everyone, Vanir have steered both threads back to the same subject For a comined hundreds of comments. Monomania is alive and well. Pretty sure you can figure out what I think of the pathetic little flyboy. Already said my piece on that, really; women should just stay away from any man who wants to use or control them - emotionally or physically. It's just different types of sexist creeps; be they what you types call "Alpha" or "Gamma". No point giving them even a chance for a breakup to rage over. 'vanir85: "It's just different types of sexist creeps; be they what you types call "Alpha" or "Gamma". No point giving them even a chance for a breakup to rage over. ' She seems to be working diligently toward providing additional verification data points for both "Feminists" and "Game" while she's here. Definitely a useful instructional tool, this one. Mr.A Is Mr.A Are you maybe rooting for the freaks who crash plains if their special snowflake feelings get hurt? "If these horrid modern women wouldn't be so mean and just suck men off on command, like good little slaves, sob" "vanir85 said... Vanir85, you are SO not tall enough for this ride. @aeolipera I wasn't aware of that. I was always Omega, or at least a very, very low Delta with Omega traits, until a few years ago. The Gamma obsequiousness and delusion with women was never a factor, although at one point I did have a bad case of oneitis and tried what was essentially Gamma behavior just to see if it worked. It didn't, of course. I'm currently Delta, but if my self-confidence and people skills continue to improve as they have, I may become a Sigma within the next couple of years or so. (Not a Beta or Alpha... I'm far too asocial, feeling perfectly happy alone with no close friends.) Yeah, I haven't thought of it that way, but that's pretty much also why if blacks, feminists, etc. hate white males, they assume that "racism" or "sexism" is "hate" because they're projecting... again. When I was Omega, the feeling I had toward society was mainly fear... a sort of fear of the unknown. Now it is an often amused disdain, often mixed with a mild exasperation at society's boneheadedness. maniacprovost said... vanir85, if I may ask, have you ever described yourself as an Objectivist? I find that a lot of left wing feminists went through that phase in their late teens, and I find it puzzling, as Ayn Rand is basically the opposite of a leftist. You could call her a feminist if you wanted, since that word describes everything that feminists like. As an anarcho-capitalist, I share your belief that everyone should be self-actuated, self-sufficient, neither dominating nor being dominated by force. Unfortunately, most people are not self sufficient. Given freedom and opportunity, they will degenerate into obese trailer trash within two generations. There are a few solutions, of course: 1) Eugenics to produce a superior race of Aryan ubermensch; 2) advanced information technology and social institutions that regulate society without the use of government, with efficient, brutal justice and callous neglect of the poor; 2) "Soft" controls such as religion, slut-shaming, etc. to keep everyone in line. Personally, I prefer a combination of all of the above to mitigate the excesses of each. Now, to return from this digression to something relevant to the thread, here's another question: If 80% of men have to be ordered around all day to make sure they work instead of smoking weed and raping women, wouldn't you expect 80% of women to need to be bossed around? Over the course of about 400 comments over hte last couple of days, I still haven't seen you give a compelling argument for why being treated like garbage by a bad boss is better than being treated like garbage by a bad husband. Our hypothetical trailer trash woman can leave her man just as easily as she can leave her job at Burger King, but she has no better prospects for either employment or romance, due to her low value in both markets; practically, she is trapped. maniacprovost Honestly, yes, I had a period when I would have considered myself an objectivist. However, I only very briefly considered Rand as someone who could be thought of as a feminist. Someone practically at her knees in submission and awe to the all-superior male, could hardly be a feminist (in my opinion). I am curious as to why anyone describing themselves as anarcho-anything would feel it neccessary to control the behavior of others (going so far as to deliberately trying to shame them, or wanting to enforce eugenics), beyond making sure they don't directly cause harm or impede anyone elses independence; if someone are trailer-trash, as you describe it, what is the problem? Let trailer trash be trailer trash - it's their right to live like that. As for your question; working should be men's, or anyone's, own decicion. Unless someone steals the property of others to survive, society should not enforce anything. And I think people should be allowed to smoke weed, if they wish to do so. Rapists should of course be punished, but I strongly disagree with men having to be forced to work to not go on a rape spree - an odd leap of logic, there. With that in mind. No, 80% of women do not need to be bossed around, and as far as I'm concerned; neither do 80% of men. Work is optional - most will choose to work because earnings do not come out of thin air, but still. And weed-smoking SHOULD be optional. Only rape, of the things you mentioned, should be subject to law-enforcement. And that is true of both genders (neither should be allowed to commit rape, or other actions that directly cause harm). >Yeah, I haven't thought of it that way, but that's pretty much also why if blacks, feminists, etc. hate white males, they assume that "racism" or "sexism" is "hate" because they're projecting... again. Projection is the same mechanism as theory of mind (sometimes called "empathy" or emotional intelligence), except when it happens to be incorrect it's called projection. You see a lot of both with white matter-dominant, verbal IQ-reliant folks. Men are conditioned to receive love from their mothers. That's the only female on this planet capable of doing that with a man.- My mom was more psychopathic and not as nurturing, fuck it. I read on a Rationale male post, on the comment section that if you didn't have a nurturing mother or a strong relationship due to her issues this can help you with girls. Hehe, a curse can turn out to be a blessing. I root for America, I'm Mexican-American and Mexico didn't do anything for me so I'm American. But society is full of shit and I'm expected to follow through with their fucking expectations and settle for a slut at 30 and work at a job I don't like. And frankly, many cool people are not cool to me, I like people but I dislike some of them. Am I an omega for this?? I am curious as to why anyone describing themselves as anarcho-anything would feel it neccessary to control the behavior of others (going so far as to deliberately trying to shame them, or wanting to enforce eugenics), beyond making sure they don't directly cause harm or impede anyone elses independence... Unless someone steals the property of others to survive, society should not enforce anything. "Enforce" implies the use of force. Maybe you can call peer pressure a force, but you know, I don't want to "enforce" eugenics... I simply don't want to be forced to pay for the support of the dregs of society. Stop feeding them, and in a world of limited resources, the strong will outbreed the weak. Similarly, the majority of the misogynists here don't want to "force" any woman to do anything, as they've told you multiple times. However you insist on conflating economic necessity - a woman choosing to serve a man to survive - with some kind of slavery. most will choose to work because earnings do not come out of thin air Exactly. Are men slaves because they choose to be overworked until they die as callused old men? If not, then women are not slaves because they choose to serve their families. @Eric Jimenez Guess it would depend upon your history with girls. At this point, I wouldn't say your relationship with your mother is quite as important as they make it out to be. For your sociosexual rank, in fact, I'd say your father is more important. From observing the various men in my extended family, the eldest sons always seem to get the father's sociosexual rank. Interestingly, though, if the father is of a low rank, the second sons go the other way and turn out fairly alpha (more or less at Beta in Vox's system). I don't know how ironclad this rule is, as I'd have to hear reports from others, but it's quite striking. My dad was and is a straight up gamma. He's very sweet and kind in nature. But despite the sociosexual rank, he sometimes thinks he's higher and tries to bring me down, lol, but now thta I understand why, it bothers me less. Being born with higher testosterone was a gift, but my dads rank like you said hindered me. I knew there something wrong, lol, instinctively. I was more aggressive and with the manosphere I found that in a different family and environment, I could've been a higher Delta or maybe Beta. Sucks. With girls I'm getting better, when I was a teen I used to be called a player by the female staff in Juvy. I had some natural ability, but lack of social circle hindered it. Dexter said... if I may ask, have you ever described yourself as an Objectivist? I find that a lot of left wing feminists went through that phase in their late teens All the objectivists I've ever met have been gamma males (high IQ science/engineering/computer nerds). I agree with maniacprovost, I think it might be common as a phase - though still a phase - for many feminist. The first time I even heard a direct statement rejecting that women should sacrifice themselves and their wishes for men and family (and society at large) was in a quote from Rand; “I swear by my life and my love of it that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine.” Also including the notion that all people exist to live, grow, challenge the world and be challenged - not to live a stifled and subdued life of feminine submissiveness; “What greater wealth is there than to own your life and to spend it on growing? Every living thing must grow. It can't stand still. It must grow or perish.” So yes; owning ones one life. Period. It not being something men or society had a claim on for their own needs or the greater good or whatever excuse. Rejection of submission, Rejection of someone's very right to expect another human being to submit. - Rand was the one who formally introduced me to such thoughts (though I later learned that, in practice, she seemed to make an exception for women... figures). The basic idea of self-ownership is actually still a major part of my feminist outlook; that every person has full authority over themselves, and that the only legitimate authority over others is that which is willingly given away - yet oddly enough people here tend to call these ideas "communist" when I express them - though, in reality, they derive from what some may consider communism's direct opposite. Hey, maybe it was repressed Lambda rage after all? http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/germanwings-alps-disaster-co-pilot-andreas-lubitz-trawled-suicide-gay-websites-before-crash-1494044 @Retrenched Heh. Heartiste kept joking on Twitter that he looked like a fag. Although, I've noticed that Gamma seems to be Lambda-lite in many ways. In other words, perhaps one form of extreme Gamma is not a bitter Omega, but rather a Lambda. Would you be will to debate me on this or create a post. First of all Gammas are not necessarily more prone to violence but that's beyond the point. What this site and others such as Roissy and Rooshv promote as Alphas are actually Omegas. Hollywood has promoted the idea that Omegas are actually Alphas and marketed it to the masses. Turn the world upside down and depict omega losers as winners and role models. It is a disgrace that those who claim to be dissidents or "Red Pill" have promoted Omegas as at the top of the totem poll. First of all unlike Roissy and Roosh you address the issue of the Gamma. However I disagree that they should be placed at the bottom of the totem poll. First of all I would describe myself as a Gamma based on your description. Gamma's are intelligent, creative, and just all around awesome! First of all I would describe myself as a Gamma based on your description. Yup. I agree. Roissy banned me for making this point. Why do you still have him on your blog roll if he censors the truth? From a remark I made over at Return of Kings: It’s reported that Lubitz was banging a stewardess on the side, but given his personality and behavior leading up to the crash, that can hardly be described as “alpha.” Ironically, it's not uncommon for women to initially be attracted to crazy beta males (more often than saner ones) precisely because the women mistake their erratic craziness for alpha [ed: or sigma] behavior. Then, when the clinginess and insecurity comes out, they want out. Of course, this ability to initially and unintentionally simulate an alpha makes crazy betas far more dangerous than either saner betas or alphas.	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0096.json.gz/line14

__label__cc	0.504296	0.495704	Alternate Best Supporting Actor 1975: Leon Vitali in Barry Lyndon Leon Vitali did not receive an Oscar nomination for portraying Lord Bullingdon in Barry Lyndon. Barry Lyndon tells the misadventures of a Irishman who attempts to move up the social latter during the 18th Century. It has plenty of great moments, but it is held back considerably by Ryan O'Neal's inadequate performance in the titular role. Stanley Kubrick is known for his clinical nature as a director and is never afraid to make a detached film. This film certainly is one of his coldest and most of the performances in this film match that style. O'Neal perhaps was not suppose to match the style but being so bland he ends up doing so. Leon Vitali though gives the most emotional performance in the film at least in an extroverted fashion. He plays the son of the wealthy aristocrat whom Barry marries Lady Lyndon, and Lord Bullingdon as he is known does not care very much for his step father who he sees as a lowly opportunist and usurper. Vitali actually does not appear until late in the film as the older version of the Lady's son. Vitali makes him someone who appears to always be off on the wrong foot, and he does make an impression despite his late appearance because his character marks a shift in style. It is not that Vitali's performance seems out of place, but it is very notable due to the intensity of his performance which differs greatly from the rest of the cast. He plays Bullingdon as immensely juvenile whose emotions certainly play first with him making it so he will not think twice about infuriating his step father, and is willing to make big scenes about his hatred for both his Barry and what his mother has done. Vitali mixes rather well the pompousness that one would except from a spoiled brat as Bullingdon is, yet he does manages to elicit sympathy as well. On one hand he does play up his background and emphasizes well the stiff upper lip of the Lord. He expresses just the great bile the Lord feels of being put in such a place, and is rather effective in just the amount of hatred he espouses getting across just how much he can't stand what Barry has done to him. His performances works particularly well because he doesn't do it in a villainous fashion instead the hatred seems to be entirely an emotional response from being stripped of his place by Barry who he views as the lowest of the low. Vitali although fully pompous in his performance does allow us to feel a little sorry for him as he is correct in his statements that Barry is an opportunist. Yes he shrill, but Vitali also plays him as entirely genuine in terms of where this comes from. Yes he may be a pompous twit but the harm that Barry has caused him is portrayed honestly, even if it becomes overblown due to his background.Vitali's much emotional approach is effective particularly in the scene where he and Barry duel. Vitali allows the scene to really work as he reflects realistic reactions to what occurs during the duel whether it be fear as he awaits Barry's shot, or the unbridled joy when he knows he managed to shoot Barry. Leon Vitali performance here is a nice addition to the film as he succeeds in being quite different from the rest of the cast without seeming like he is in the wrong movie either. This is a good performance by Vitali although a little too limited for me to quite say it is a great one. Bullingdon is not given a great deal to do and his exit from the film is fairly brief leaving only a quick moment where he silently shows a more confidant Bullingdon which is handled well, but does not really give him that much of a chance to explore the character any further. Vitali does come in at the right moment though and infuses the right type of life into Barry Lyndon at the right time with his emotional portrayal of Lord Bullingdon. Labels: 1975 Alternate Supporting, Leon Vitali koook160 (Robert MacFarlane) said... I would have at least given him a 4.5. He really stole the movie for me. I also would argue you're not giving O'Neal enough credit. The character of Barry Lyndon was intended to be a cold, somewhat calculating man, and O'Neal played him as such. He was really lacking for me, I did not feel the ambition in his character in any way. I know Kubrick basically had to use O'Neal to get funding but I think Terence Stamp would have been perfect for that role. Clearly this blogger has never encountered a true sociopath. The cold "detached" performance O'Neal gave was brilliant. Alternate Best Actor 1963: Dirk Bogarde in The Ser... Alternate Best Actor 1963: Toshiro Mifune in High ...

Chris Upton, Senior Lecturer in History at Newman College of Higher Education in Birmingham, confirms that Frank Clarke's gun manufacturing business appears in several Birmingham trade directories. He was based in Snow Hill during 1902 and for some years afterwards, and he turns up at various other addresses until the late 1930's.The Automatic Water Boiler Company enjoyed London offices at 31 George Street, Hanover Square, and also at 26a Corporation Street, Birmingham (this site has since been redeveloped and the new property is to be occupied by Beatties department stores). Maria Twist from Birmingham Local Studies Library tells me that there is no mention of the Automatic Water BoilerCompany or number 26a in Kelly's directories for 1903 or 1910. Number 26 is referred to as Midland Chambers. There was an outfitters called Thomas Donne Ltd. at street level, and several different firms in the floors above, including The Wholesale Traders' Association for the Hardware, Furnishing & Metal Industries Limited, and George A. Heyes & Co., business agents. It is therefore unlikely that the teasmades were actually made in Corporation Street which was, after all, in the middle of the shopping and businessdistrict. The Clarke family of 130 Victoria Road, Aston, Warwick, consisted of: James Clarke, a Rifle Sight Maker, age 48, born in London, Middlesex His wife, Caroline Clarke, age 41. Caroline was born in Birmingham, and married James in London. Their children, all unmarried in 1886, and all born in Birmingham: Frederick James Clarke, age 20, Gunfinisher Apprentice Caroline S.

__label__wiki	0.749754	0.749754	Melkite Icons The following article is about Orthodox and Greek Catholic iconography in the Middle East is taken from the November/December 1971 Saudi Aramco World, of all places. Actually, though, being Saudis, they like to throw their money around, so if you send them a request, they'll subscribe you to their magazine for free. It's worth it just for their photography, though sometimes they'll also have a good article. Arabs and Icons by Karen Lewis When most people think of icons they think of delicate Greek triptychs or the fabulous jeweled icons of Russia locked deep in the vaults of the Kremlin. Yet for almost three centuries, Arab artists, usually members of Christian religious orders, made icons in the Middle East. Icon is a Greek word meaning 'image' but on the basis of funeral portraits found in Fayyoum, Egypt, scholars have suggested that the iconic form itself may be Middle Eastern. The Arab icons are called "Melkite" icons because they were painted by Arab artisans who belonged to the Greek Orthodox or Greek Catholic Church. Virgil Candea, a Rumanian scholar, first used the term when he was consultant for an exhibition of icons from Lebanese and Syrian collections produced by the Sursock Museum of Beirut in May 1969. His source was the derisive expression "Melkite" used by heretic Nestorian Christians to refer to communities which remained loyal to the Byzantine State Church after the early theological disputes over the nature of Christ. In the 18th century, after reuniting with the Roman Catholic Church, Greek Catholics used the term to distinguish themselves from their former Greek Orthodox brethren. According to Sylvia Agemian, the discovery of the Melkite icons is very important scholastically. Mrs. Agemian, a researcher at the Sursock Museum and possibly the only specialist in Melkite icons in the Middle East, says: "For the first time it is being recognized that there were schools of iconographers in the Middle East which followed the Byzantine or Greek iconic tradition with the addition of Islamic elements." Icons are an integral part of the religious life of Eastern Orthodox Christians. Like statuary and Gothic carvings they are seen as holy objects to be venerated, not merely appreciated as decoration. Yet just as decoration they are unique. Icons—original icons—are images painted onto a gold veneer applied to a smooth coat of plaster on a wooden board. Usually they were placed on a screen in front of the altar for the congregation to contemplate during the services. Because the first icon was thought to be the image of Christ left on St. Veronica's veil which she had given him to wipe his face with when he was carrying the cross to Calvary, the early Church decided that portrayal of the divine could not be left to the imagination of the individual artist. Up to the 17th century, traditional Byzantine icon painters were forced to follow instructions in a church manual which decreed that holy persons must be as other-worldly as possible. To achieve this the artist imposed geometric molding on the body to make his subjects appear almost fleshless, and minimized any hint of the sensual by swathing them in heavy draperies. Since the saints were blessed with the Beatific Vision and therefore exuded an inner holy light, the artist painted fine white lines on the saint's cheekbones and hands to suggest the light. As part of the formula to emphasize holiness, the artist also gave his saints heads that were disproportionately large, and formally molded beards and hair. Even colors were specified by the church guide. The Virgin's maphorion, a veil which covered the head and shoulders of all female saints, was always an ochre red to symbolize the tragic fate of her son. If they appeared, mountains and buildings were highly stylized, bearing almost no relation to reality. But they didn't appear often. On orthodox icons divine persons were pictured against a background of gold with no terrestrial elements other than those associated with the particular saint: books for the Evangelists and Patriarchs, swords for martial saints such as St. George. Melkite artists probably learned the form of the icon from icons brought to the Middle East by Byzantine Greek and Russian patriarchs and pilgrims, and from Greek artists who lived and worked in Syria, Lebanon and Palestine. But the Melkite craftsmen also knew the Cretan works of the 14th and 17th centuries. On an icon of the Archangel Michael, which he did in 1726, the artist Hanna al-Kudsi, who worked in Syria and Lebanon during the first half of the 18th century, put an inscription saying it was based on an earlier Cretan icon. Melkite icons, however, differ from their Greek and Russian counterparts more in detail and treatment of subjects than in form. General traits like decoration, the faces and bodies of the subjects, the frequency of certain themes and, of course, Arabic inscriptions, distinguish the Melkite icon. In the early days, Melkite artists naturally looked to the Byzantine Greek models for guidance. But as they matured they quickly began to express their own tastes and feelings. Although the Byzantine elements prevail in the majority of the early paintings, the presence of markedly Arab characteristics is apparent. All the faces painted by the Melkite artists—not just Middle East saints, but Christ and his angels too—have Arabized complexions. There is a more natural oval to the faces and a softer expression than in the Byzantine icon. The bodies are fuller and rounder with less of the modeling which is characteristic of traditional icon painting. In addition, there are Arab costumes, contemporary furniture and daily household objects—all in sharp contrast to the other-worldly and awe-inspiring Byzantine saints. In one early 18th-century Melkite work, for example, the baby Virgin Mary is rocked in a cradle still common to Syria and Lebanon today. In others, Abraham, preparing to sacrifice his son, wears a turban, John the Evangelist writes at an Arab writing desk and St. George brandishes an Arab sword. The earliest Melkite works are characterized by sumptuous decoration which the Christian craftsmen borrowed directly from Islamic art. The intricate decorations found on brasswork, on Persian carpets, and on the brocades and wood panels of Damascus are all found on Melkite icons. The whole surface of the icon was covered with floral, vegetable and geometric designs; bent leaves, lotus flowers, pomegranates, lilies, tulips and palms are scattered on the borders, the halos and the clothing of the saints. This is not to say that all Melkite icons are ornately decorated; the 19th-century ones are often simple in the extreme. ike European artists, the Melkite painters were influenced by their environment when they chose themes to illustrate. Local saints and legends that are typically oriental or have an oriental setting were popular: St. George, who, legend says, fought his battle with the dragon near Beirut, St. Saba, who headed a monastic order outside Jerusalem, St. Simeon Stylites who stood on his pillar in Syria for 60 years, St. Mary the Egyptian, the Virgin Mary in the Garden of Jesse and the Prophet Elie beheading the priests of Baal. Even the dedicatory inscriptions on Melkite icons take on a distinctly Middle Eastern literary flavor. Whereas Greek and Russian inscriptions are succinct, those on Melkite works are long and flowery. For example, an icon of St. Spiridon given to a Rumanian church in 1749 by Sylvester, the Patriarch of Antioch, has not only the giver's name and the occasion but blessings and salutations covering about one-fourth of the icon. Most of the early Melkite icons were made in Aleppo, where a family of Syrians and their students produced some of the finest examples of Melkite work. The priest, Yusuf al-Mussawwir; his son, Ne'meh; grandson, Hanania; and great grandson, Girgis, span two centuries, from the 17th to the 18th, with their works. The greatest of this family of iconographers was Ne'meh, who developed the Aleppo style. Though he did not completely break with the traditional Byzantine manner of icons, he preferred a stylized naturalism. Ne'meh's angels and women have more pronounced oval heads than in Byzantine painting, his young people have rounded faces and his men have large heads with bulging foreheads, prominent cheekbones and hollow cheeks. While their noses retain the slenderness of their Byzantine prototypes, his saints have the fine almond-shaped and heavily lashed eyes found among Arab people. Ne'meh, moreover, personalized his icons with alternating green and red borders covered with gold decoration. The influence of the Aleppo School lasted until the late 18th century with an astonishing continuity and abundance. Shukrallah ibn Yuwakim, also from Aleppo, Kyrillos al-Dimashki and some anonymous painters belonging to the Basilian religious order adhered to Ne'meh's physiognomic types, general ornamentation and the characteristic green and red borders that mark the Aleppo School of painters. Although anonymity remained the general rule among icon painters outside the Aleppo School, several independent Melkite craftsmen do emerge. Hanna al-Kudsi, who painted during the early 18th century, did mostly restorations and reproductions of earlier works, including some of Ne'meh's. His own works are closer to traditional icon painting. Mikhail al-Dimashki, who worked in Damascus about the same time as Hanna al-Kudsi did in Jerusalem, painted traditional icons of a popular nature with elements taken from western painters. The works of Sylvester, the Greek Orthodox Patriarch of Antioch, though made in the Middle East, are strictly Byzantine in form. They attest to the controversy between the Eastern Church and the Church of Rome. Sylvester spent most of his life fighting Cyrillus V, the Patriarch of Aleppo and some of Cyrillus' bishops who, under the influence of Jesuit and Capuchin missionaries, left the Greek Orthodox Church and joined the Roman Catholic doctrine. Sylvester's paintings are formally Byzantine because he was countering the spread of doctrines like the Immaculate Conception, which is not a precept of the Eastern Church.: By the 19th century, the demand for smaller, more popular icons, and the larger prosperity made personal ownership of icons a possibility. At the same time, however, individuals had less money to use on the ornamentation of an icon than did the church so instead of etching their subjects on gold, artists took to painting directly on the wood. With the increased demand for icons, especially from the newly established Greek Catholic churches, the artists had less time, so the elaborate ornamentation of earlier Melkite icons gave way to simpler decoration and by the second half of the 19th century decoration completely disappears. Instead of intricate designs which cover the surface and borders of the icons in works from the Aleppo School, there are simple clusters of flowers. Stylized bodies and faces totally disappear and the painters break completely with dogmatic artistic restraints. In these later icons, Middle Eastern villagers and peasants are prominent, particularly in the works of Butros 'Agaimi, a Lebanese priest who worked during the beginning of the 19th century near Deir al-Kamar. His icon of St. Jean Climaque pictures the saint with a large fleshy face, a wide nose, big eyes, and rough workman's hands. He could just as easily be a Lebanese or Syrian laborer as the sixth-century priest who lived in Sinai and wrote a famous book of virtues. There is no gold at all used in this icon and the colors are earthy browns and grays. A mid-19th-century Melkite painter who also favored the simple style is Ne'meh Naser from Homs, Syria. His works are characterized by their roughness. He worked directly on the wet plaster and the grooves are visible even through several layers of paint. Although the influence of the Aleppo School dies out in the 19th century, in the middle of the century another school of painters appears in Jerusalem—the Kudsi. A group of three Melkite artists, Mikhail Mhanna, Yuhanna Saliba and Nicolas Theodorus, must have had a kind of assembly line workshop because they have so many icons of the same subject done in the same manner. Their works are characterized by large brush strokes and simplicity. Their saints have heads as round as oranges and faces that are touched with a sweet serenity. The biggest influence on Melkite painters in the 19th century came from a Cretan painter, Michael Polychronis, or Michael the Cretan, who lived and worked in Damascus from 1809 to 1821. Almost every church of any significance in the Middle East has an icon done by Michael. Although his icons have Byzantine and Italianate elements, his works, which are done in oil, include decorative themes from the woodwork panels of Damascus in the draperies of his saints and so are classified as Melkite. The draperies of the robe are magnificently molded and his saints retain the fierce spirituallity of expression of the Byzantine world. Michael's significance is not confined to his achievements but to his influence on the average artist of his day. Outside the primitive painters like Butros 'Agaimy, every Melkite painter tried to imitate Michael's occidental style. With the attraction of things western at the turn of the century, artists abandoned the local style. For decades the knowledge of Melkite icons was the privileged information of only a few Lebanese and Syrian collectors. With their rediscovery a valuable addition has been made to art and religion. Scholars are hoping, although the study of Melkite icons is still germinal, that they will provide new insights into the lives of the Arab Christians.

However, it was the Syriac Jacobites, not the Nestorians who coined the term Melkite, or followers of the "malko", Syriac for king =emperor. Also, there has never been a patriarch of Aleppo, even though it is closer to Antioch than Damascus. The people of Aleppo elected Sylvester as patriarch to oppose Cyril was elected by the pro-Catholic bishops!Sylvester was a deacon and nephew of the previous patriarch. Archimandrite Edward Hi Ed..... I posted this article (written almost forty years ago!) unedited, even though it phrased many things in ways I wouldn't have from a purely scholarly point of view. Its information about individual iconographers and style, though, is quite valuable. As to whether 'Melkite' was coined by East or West Syrians ('Nestorian' or 'Jacobite') or even Maronites, it's not clear to me, nor do I think that it can be determined. Until relatively recently, it was also unclear whether the term 'Melkite' came about first in Arabic or Syriac (Arabic 'malik' = Syriac 'malko/malka' = Greek 'basileus') since even though the term originated in Syriac, its eventual meaning really only became cemented after the Arab conquest-- see the paragraphs I posted from Fr. Sidney Griffith a few weeks ago. As for 'Patriarch of Aleppo', well, that is of course inaccurate, but one can see how history could be read that way by a non-specialist. Certainly the patriarch Sylvester was elected by the Aleppo mob as a couter to Cyril who was elected by the Damascus mob. At some point, if there's interest, I'll translate Mikhail Burayk's chronicle of these events. (Irony of history that Damascus wound up being a center of Orthodoxy and Aleppo the center of Greek Catholicism....) It's St. John, not St. Jean. The red color is supposed to symbolize paradise, the blue - the world. Note that the Mother of God is portrayed often as dressed in blue, draped with red, while the Savior is dressed in red, draped with blue. Also, almost every ethnic or cultural unit that is Orthodox has icons that look like members of that Unit. Russian icons often show very Russian looking people. In the Balkans, Jesus looks much more like one of the locals. American icons look, to my immigrant eyes, as full of Americans.

The win allowed the Lithuanian side to improve to a 3-0 record in the BBL, while the team from Liepaja lost for the third time in as many games. Nevezis’ offense was working in full swing from the early going, as the hosts established an early double-digit lead after a three-pointer by Tyrone Brazelton to make it 21-11 six minutes into the game. The gap only grew in the second quarter and Liepaja/Triobet found themselves with a 21-point deficit at the half, with the scoreboard showing 55-34 in favor of Nevezis. Having maintained a solid lead throughout the third period, the home side relaxed in the fourth, allowing the visitors to go on a 12-0 run to cut it to 72-81 with three minutes remaining. However, Nevezis managed to halt the brewing comeback, with solid play down the stretch and stayed among the five unbeaten teams in the competition. Tyrone Brazelton had a game-high 22 points and five assists for the winners, Gintaras Leonavicius added 20 points, while Valdas Dabkus, added a double-double of 11 points and 11 rebounds. For Liepaja/Triobet, Artis Ate had 18 points, Lauris Blaus scored 15 and added nine rebounds, while Roberts Krumins and Ingus Jakovics chipped in with 11 each.	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0096.json.gz/line28

Every ball pocketed counts as one point and a game is played to a agreed up score, generally 50, 100, or 150 points. Traditional straight pool matches are played to 150 points.14.1 is also called "continuous pool" because, after the opening break, play continues until a player reaches the winning score.

What if the UK leaves the EU? This forum is for all the aspects of UK law that may affect expats - tax, social security, health, pensions, citizenship etc. by Dave » Sun 8 Jul 2012 10:11 GMT There's been an interesting discussion on the Malta Forum Premium Boards about the possible consequences of a referendum vote to take the United Kingdom out of the European Union. As it's of wider interest (with possibly as many as a million Britons living in other EU member states), I'll recap the discussion here. (Bits in square brackets are paraphrased to make them non-Malta-specific.) ZXC wrote: It looks like the Conservatives and Labour are considering holding a referendum in a few years time over the EU, and one result could be the UK leaving the EU. What impact would that have on UK citizens living in [EU countries]? I'm guessing as long as the UK joins the EEA (along with Iceland, Lichtenstein and Norway), then no real issues. EEA membership means having to abide by all EU legislation related to the single market. One of the reasons some in the UK want to leave the EU is to get away from EU legislation, so presumably the big issue is whether those laws are acceptable. If we don't join the EEA, I presume we will become third country nationals, and lose our rights of abode. [Individual countries may grant long-term residents continuing rights, but that may not be automatic, and the situation for those who haven't lived in their given EU country is likely to be difficult.] Dave wrote: I can't see a great deal of benefit in leaving the EU only to join the EEA - there are already long-standing complaints among EEA members about "government by fax from Brussels" (and the fact that they talk about faxes show just how long-standing they are). Doesn't mean it wouldn't happen, though. [snip] I think your analysis is right - if Britain leaves the EEA and fails to negotiate a Swiss-style bilateral agreement too, then I presume British citizens would lose their rights. Of course, British expats retain the right to vote in UK elections for up to 15 years after leaving the UK. But are there enough in the EU to make a serious impact on the UK domestic political scene - even assuming their votes arrive on time, which as we saw in 2010 is certainly not a foregone conclusion? And would they get to vote in any referendum? It seems obvious to me that they should - after all, they're precisely the British citizens who will be most affected by any change in the UK's status within the EU. But they may not, if the plans for the referendum on Scottish independence are anything to go by. BNM wrote: What about the Americans, Canadians etc., etc., they seem to be here OK? ZXC wrote: If they are married to an EU national, then they have the same rights as their spouse. For non-EU citizens with no EU partner, getting residency permits is difficult or expensive - work permits difficult to get for more than 3-4 years, and the new HNWI scheme is very costly.

__label__cc	0.618542	0.381458	Thanks to Bryan for hosting the Logline/Hook line Blogfest! Follow the link to read all the other entries! Since I’m out of town this weekend, I’m posting this up today. I won’t be able to look at the other entries or reply to comments until Monday. Here are my five (well, six, but 2 aren’t serious) hooks from my WIP Steam Palace: Simple one: A milkmaid can save her country by marrying the man responsible for inviting evil invaders, but her heart belongs to another. Now for a wordy one: In a backwards world where New England never joined the Revolution, a former noblewoman seeks to restore her family name by journeying to the Steam Palace, a den of lawlessness and sin, and attracting the one man who can fulfill her wishes—but only by destroying her country—and her heart—in the process. Torn between her country and her heart, an ambitious milkmaid seeks to restore her family’s name but is caught in a web of intrigue when her fiancé plots her nation’s destruction—and she discovers she is in love with another. I’m not sure how accurate this one is, but it’s different. When an ambitious milkmaid discovers her hitherto unknown identical twin trapped in a morass of sin and degradation, she risks her country’s future and her own heart to rescue her sister from the depths of ignominy and start a new life. Now for the lamest possible hook: Steam Palace is a really kewl book about this girl Sophia who like goes to the Steam Palace thing which is this big boat that’s like a Western lawless town and she meets this chick Viola who tries to turn her into a prostitute but Sophia is too smart and so she forms a band and they play for the Duke who’s like tots into Sophia but he’s doing Viola and they’re identical twins so it’s really messed up and the Nazi-esque Reichlanders want to take over New Britannia but Sophia has to stop them because she really digs the Queen and so the book is about Sophia trying to attract the Duke, not piss off Viola, save the country, and hook up with Thomas who’s this awesome ex-Sky Captain but he’s like a dope fiend so he’s gotta work on himself first so it’s all really complicated and stuff but you’ll love it. Now to Steampunkify the lame hook: “Steam Palace” is a most excellent novel pertaining to a young maiden named Miss Sophia Stratton who travels to a most quaint and extraordinary vessel known as the aforementioned “Steam Palace” which resembles nothing less than a fearsome Western outpost drowning in lawlessness whereupon she encounters another fair maiden known as a Miss Viola Willamante who endeavors to matriculate young Miss Sophia into a most unfortunate profession—indeed the world’s oldest—however, Miss Sophia cognates on Miss Viola’s prevarications and instead assembles a wondrous set of musicians who capture His Grace the Duke’s attentions so he requires their ministrations at his gala Ball during which he becomes infatuated with the beauty and talent of Miss Sophia—whilst still secretly courting Miss Viola (who bears a striking—no, an identical resemblance to Miss Sophia)—where was I—oh yes, during this gala Ball the horrid and altogether reprehensible Reichlanders reveal their plot to steal New Britannia from her people but Miss Sophia cannot let such terrible threats stand, for she loves her Queen dearly, so my fine readers, if you are still digesting my litany, let me summarize: to save her dear country, Miss Sophia must win the hand of the reclusive Duke, keep doppelgängerous Miss Viola at arm’s length, and oh did I mention that her heart has become irretrievable entangled with ex-Sky Captain Thomas Putnam of the Third Aeronautium who himself is entangled in the dreaded thicket of opium addiction, so poor Miss Sophia is most torn between all these competing and conflicting notions? Now I must breathe. Well? Any jump out at you? Any suggestions or ideas on how to make these better? Thanks for any feedback. Nice work. I like the second one. Something about it makes the idea feel different, with more involved. I like the milkmaid in general, but something about that in the logline felt a bit turn off to me. But I can't pinpoint it exactly as too why. You scared me. I was afraid today was the blogfest and I'd forgotten to post something. Had to go and check the main page just to make sure. Well done posting the different loglines and even adding the amusing versions. ;-) Eric W. Trant May 20, 2010 at 7:14 PM Number four is my second favorite. I dug the steampunkified version best, even though it was only for fun. I'd almost be tempted to send that to a couple of pub/agents just to see what happened. The lamest hook sure got me laughing, LOL.. I like number 3, it tells you a lot without giving everything away (although I'm not sure if that's ok in loglines??). Nr 5 was definately the funniest ; ) ps. may I be annoying and announce The Blogfest of Death (July 18th)? Could you add me to your list (and join in on the fun) pretty please? @Dawn: Yeah she's only a milkmaid for like one scene so it's not totally defining. @Eric: I had a lot of fun with that. @Myne: but it's true! :) @Tessa: Hmm no consensus so far...I added your blogfest but I can't use Steam Palace...if I revealed who dies it would spoil the story! You can kill anyone you like ; ) Thanks for joining the blogfest! I really laughed at the Steampunk version, but if we're looking for a real logline, I think #2 stands head-and-shoulders above the rest. #1 is too generic to really convey any tension. I love your opening phrase of #2 ("In a backwards world where New England never joined the Revolution..."). This is a great setting description and provides the right segue into the rest of the description. Definitely the one you want to run with! Thanks again for participating! Roland D. Yeomans May 21, 2010 at 10:06 PM I'm like Dawn -- I liked #2. And you're right. These things are the kidney stones of queries. It is cruel and unusual punishment to force us to cram 400 pages into logical, inticing sentence. Zoe C. Courtman May 22, 2010 at 6:25 AM I'm definitely in for No. 2. I felt it had enough specificity, got the plot in there and also told me right off that it's steampunk. Great job! (And I'm a new follower) :D @Bryan: Thanks for hosting! I do see the benefits of #2: setting, conflict, stakes, and consequences. @Roland: I hear ya. The thing is to write them early in the process, before or during your first draft. @Zoe: Welcome! I do think #2 is probably the keeper. So on #2, what do people think of the punctuation? Is 3 em-dashes overkill? I'm thinking of deleting the first one. Does that still work? Sangu Mandanna May 22, 2010 at 10:23 AM Haha I don't think you want suggestions on improving #5! That was hilarious! I love #1. While it's simple, it does tell me just enough to make me intrigued. Sometimes not enough information can be frustrating and put a reader off, but in this case it would, I think, make a reader want to read the book to find out the details. #2 has too many clauses, and the hyphens make you stop repeatedly and go 'okay' and then 'okay, there's more' and then 'ah, another clause'. #3 and 4 are good, but I prefer the first. Thanks for your comments, they were very helpful! And I'm glad the premise is intriguing :) Christine Hardy May 22, 2010 at 12:24 PM I like #3. Tricia J. O'Brien May 22, 2010 at 1:38 PM #2 without em-dashes. You might need to tighten it to make it flow, but I like that you've set the stage at the beginning and the stakes at the end. I have to say I like the brevity of number three; this must say all you need it to convey? Hey, Andrew. I really like the second one the best. It puts the conflict right at the forefront. Great job on this...these are really difficult. k m kelly May 22, 2010 at 11:03 PM I liked #2 and #3 the best. Definitely thought the beginning of #2 was great but I liked the "caught in a web of intrigue when her fiancé...." part of the third although it could have been a little more specific. And thank you for the laughs. Guess I'll have to read your blogs about steampunk so I'll know what you're talking about. Blogs are such excellent ways to learn new things. Thank you for sharing. Zoe C. Courtman May 23, 2010 at 10:00 AM Hey, Andrew. I'm an em dasher m'self. Maybe replace the first with a comma? And I thought I'd come across a discussion about a cognitive dissonance blogfest. I thought it was Roland - but perhaps it was you!! If so, thanks for the idea - I hope you'll participate :D Lovy Boheme May 23, 2010 at 8:43 PM Steampunk! So much fun. I like the third one the best, though the sixth gives me so much more information. Do you think you can fuse the two together somehow? The third had a nice flow to it that I didn't find in the others. Sorry, I've been out all weekend. Great comments everyone. @Sangu: I do think #1 is simplest (and shortest) @Christine: Got it. :) @Tricia: Yeah I think it works without the dashes @Elaine: It's pretty close. @Raquel: It's a bit long, but that may be why it works. @KM: Steampunk FTW! @Zoe: I'll be there. My book is based on episodes of CG. No one wants to accept the reality of their situations. @Lovy: wink indeed. So I came up with a new hook concept. If anyone's listening, here it goes. A girl, a mechanical horse, and enough charge to hoof it to Hartford. But is it enough to escape the past? Yes, there's a question. But it's a rhetorical question that has no real answer. Michelle Gregory May 28, 2010 at 3:50 PM i don't think i've ever seen a hook sentence as long as those last two entries. since you seem to be one of the blogfest guardians, i thought i would let you know about a fest i'm hosting July 1st. here's a link to the first post. http://michellegregory.blogspot.com/2010/05/share-your-darlings-blogfest.html	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0096.json.gz/line55

__label__cc	0.618949	0.381051	Fall OI speakers at UC Berkeley The Program in Open Innovation has replaced the Center for Open Innovation at UC Berkeley. It’s still headed by Henry Chesbrough (with Solomon Darwin holding the reins during his globetrotting) at the same location with the same website, but apparently it’s now bigger and better than ever. The fall speaker series starts next week. The sessions will be held at the Haas School of Business on Mondays 2-4 p.m. with two speakers per session. As always, visitors are welcome — I know I’ve met some interesting people at these sessions. With my move to Southern California, this may be the first time I’ve been unable to make it, but I look forward to the YouTube videos. Note: updated with last-minute substitution of October 10 speaker. Date Speakers Topic Aug. 29 Henry Chesbrough Director of the Program in Open Innovation, Haas School of Business, University of California, Berkeley John Wilbanks Vice President, Science, Creative Commons Role of IP Sept. 12 Ron Resnick President and Chairman, Intel, Mobile Wireless Group Open Innovation in International Mobile Telecommunications Oliver Alexy Research Fellow, Imperial College, London Open Innovation Intermediaries Sept. 19 Jim Spohrer Director of Services Research, IBM Role of Universities Esteve Almirall Professor, ESADE, Barcelona, Spain Open Cities Sept. 26 Howard Atkins (formerly) Chief Financial Officer, Wells Fargo Bank Innovation in Financial Services John Pramod VP of Strategy and Innovation, McKesson Open Innovation Strategy Challenges at McKesson Oct. 3 Kal Patel (formerly) President of Asia, Best Buy Open Innovation in Retail Businesses Aneesh Chopra Chief Technology Officer, Office of Science and Technology Policy, the White House Open Government Oct. 10 Deepu Rathi Director of Business Development, Cisco Product Innovation Joel West Professor, KGI - Keck Graduate Institute Solomon Darwin Associate Director, Program in Open Innovation, Haas School of Business, University of California, Berkeley Strategic Openness Posted by Joel West at 1:47 PM No comments: Labels: open innovation, UC Berkeley Another year of even more OI research At #AOM2011 on Monday, I was reminded that the first OI session at Academy was the 2004 PDW that Hank Chesbrough and Wim Vanhaverbeke organized in New Orleans. Within 48 hours, I had expressions of interest for the academic book (both by authors and publishers) that the three of us then published with Oxford in 2006, with chapters that were also excerpted in the 2005 Showcase Symposium that I organized and chaired in Honolulu. This week in San Antonio, I attended 2½ OI sessions (late to one) as well as a crowdsourcing session and some other sessions in innovation and entrepreneurship. The first of those sessions — and the only panel discussion — was held Monday morning at 8am (6am PDT, ugh). Organized by Dries Faems and Alberto Di Minin, it was (appropriately enough) entitled “Organizing Open Innovation: Combining Value Creation and Value Appropriation.” Repeating from the initial 2004 OI session were Wim and I (Chesbrough is overseas) as well as two all-Italian teams. It’s difficult to synthesize a 90 minute session in a blog entry — although discussant Juan Alcacer of HBS did a great job. But if anything held the papers together, it was this focus on value creation vs. (or with) value capture. Brusoni & Prencipe The dynamic duo of Italian innovation research, Andrea Prencipe and Stefano Brusoni, presented their conceptual paper about innovation coupling that attempts to answer the question: when is it best to be open and when is it best to be closed. The closed story is fortunately similar to those we’ve seen in proprietary platform research for years: firms promulgate proprietary platforms early in a technological regime when their end to end coordination is highly valued. (Prencipe/Brusoni call this “responsive”). The fundamental concept behind the paper was that we need to consider how firms couple their organizational units — both the strength and the linkage of the units. Their propositions about the optimal coupling depended on the environmental ambiguity, complexity and uncertainty. (Alcacer quite reasonably asked: what about firm-specific factors that influence the decision, or external factors such as appropriability or munificence.) Beyond the when closed (or open) idea is the unexpected corner of the 2x2: when firms have to be both closed and open. While Chesbrough (in the Chesbrough funnel) talks about combining open and closed strategy, I don’t recall anyone ever making a case that firms need a special competence in being able to shift between the two. (Both Alcacer and I felt the construct was reminiscent of the Tushman-O’Reilly concept of an ambidextrous organization.) Cassiman & Valentini The two middle papers were empirical ones. Bruno Cassiman and Giovanni Valentini did a large-N study following up on the Cassiman and Veuglers (2006) Belgian CIS study. After selecting only firms that are innovation active, they they compared the innovation performance of firms that bought innovation (inbound OI), sold innovation (outbound OI), both or neither. Following directly from Chesbrough (2007), the prediction would be the firms that do both would be the most successful: reducing their costs and incrementally increasing their revenues. Alas, that’s not what happened — according to their econometrics thus far. With various controls and outcome measures — most about new products divided by some control — the buy/sell were consistently the worst. In at least one formulation, the buy-only and sell-only cases were twice as efficient as the other two cases. We all scratched our heads over this one. As Cassiman noted, there is a theoretical (and well understood) complementarity of make vs. buy, but perhaps not of sell vs. buy. Some people wondered whether it’s a short-term effect: that over time such firms will be more successful. Or it could be another manifestation of the finding of Dries Faems and colleagues (2010) that OI can raise costs more than revenues. Certainly the presumption of rationality does mean we expect firms to accurately estimate a priori the returns from a hybrid strategy, particularly early in a new bandwagon like OI. As I sat there, I worried strongly about the endogeneity of the buy/sell decision — not from a methodological standpoint, but a theoretical one. (Easy for me to say, since I don’t try to do carefully controlled large-N econometric studies). Like other small countries, almost all the local companies are SMEs. We know that there is great variation among SMEs — some really good companies and some really struggling ones. Without having a better sense of why firms are pursuing (this unusual) strategy, I’d be cautious about trying to interpret the finding. Vanhaverbeke Next up was Wim Vanhaverbeke of Hasselt, Leuven Gent and Esade. (He’s holding more permanent faculty positions simultaneously than most people hold in their career.) Wim has gone from a big firm SMJ-kinda guy to focusing on OI in SMEs. Of course, the first paper on this subject was van de Vrande, de Jong, Vanhaverbeke and de Rochemont (2009). He gave us a taste of his in-depth study of OI in 10 small and young(ish) companies — but only a taste as he tried to cram a 45 minute talk into 15 minutes. His paper also keyed of Chesbrough (2007), in this case on the centrality of the business model. He claimed his study was of low-tech OI but several of the examples were very high-tech approaches in low-tech industries. Exhibit A was Quilts of Denmark, using rocket science to make a better quilt. QOD collaborated with Outlast to leverage NASA-licensed material to make Temprakon, a quilt that was warmer for cold bodies and cooler for warm bodies. Three of the most interesting observations were confirming observations about SME strategy and showing their direct application to OI SME strategy. First, OI collaboration between firms depends on strong individual-level ties. Second, cooperation is easiest between two companies of the same size — i.e. the small firms have trouble working with larger firms. Finally, the OI-practicing SMEs don’t have some grand a priori strategy, but instead are pursuing a discovery-driven growth strategy (cf. McGrath & MacMillan, 1995). Finally, academia’s most beloved open innovation blogger presented his own work tying together open innovation with open standards and open source, among other topics. This week’s paper — on a concept I call “strategic openness” — is a much more theoretical piece than the earlier West 2007) The central motivation of the paper was the analysis of Simcoe (2006) on the inherent OI tradeoffs of value creation vs. value capture: not just that they are traded off, but that firms care about the product of the two, i.e. the total profit. Related arguments were made by West 2003 (in control vs. adoption) and West & O’Mahony 2008 (control vs. collaboration). I got some very useful feedback at the session. I’ll be blogging more about this paper in a future article. Alcacer I had read Juan Alcacer but never met him. Far from being an open innovation advocate, he nonetheless was a great discussant — and not just because he liked my paper or that we both joked about Google’s announcement that morning of the Motorola purchase. He saw all of the papers saying something about fundamental principles of open innovation — particularly the Cassiman presentation, which was testing a central tenet of OI. I was linking OI to strategy and competition, while Prencipe was examining the antecedents of OI. Wim has wonderfully rich and multi-dimensional data about how open innovation works in small companies. This was a great session.

I was invited to give the opening keynote, and spoke about my current study integrating prior work on open IT strategies. (More on that later). The conference featured both local and international speakers; the former were a mixture of faculty, few graduate students and one practitioner. One interesting panel had an argument (between two friends) over conflicting IP goals of South African government policy. IT consultant Derek Keats complained that a 2008 Intellectual Property Rights from Publicly Financed Research and Development Act (a more centralized twist on Bayh-Dole) would make it difficult or impossible for SA academic researchers to give away IP to open source projects. Meanwhile, Prof. Robert Vivian argued that a government mandated preference for OSS was arrived at via unconstitutional means. (I noted my conclusion based on a decade of OSS research: the best procurement policy is to mandate a fair price comparison between OSS and proprietary software — one that tends to allow buyers to use the threat of switching to reduce lock-in rents but avoid the disruption of actually switching.) Among the international speakers, Sebastian von Engelhardt of Friedrich-Schiller-University talked about his 2009 survey of 6,000 German software developers and IT consultants. He worried that those that used OSS might have a harder time getting capital or growing than those that developed proprietary software, but generally found the two types were similar except that the OSS firms tended to be smaller and younger. Not all the papers were about open source software. Alessandro Rossi of University of Trento summarized a series of papers on how Wikipedia activity changes after an article is tagged as having a major problem. For example, if a WikiSimple article is tagged as having readability problems, the readability quickly goes up — but the rate of other changes goes down. Marcel Bogers (@bogers) summarized antecedents to open innovation in prior research such as evolutionary economics, transaction cost economics, social network theory and the resource-based view. My personal favorite was a paper by Maradona Gatara on mobile crowdsourcing in Kenya. The workshop closed with the big gun — economist Richard Langlois of U. Conn. Summarizing a forthcoming book chapter, he noted the dramatic parallels between early radio and early PCs: assembly was cheap while the components were valuable, hobbyists played an important role, the business quickly shifted to the importance of software. The main difference is that during World War I, the US nationalized radio patents to facilitate ship-to-shore communication, and then spun them off after the war to create the Radio Corporation of America. Disputing The Electronic Century by the late Alfred Chandler, Langlois concluded that the large RCA R&D labs were not a spur to innovation but a drag on innovation — because RCA wasted its resources trying to find new areas rather than improve existing technologies. Vertical integration and control by RCA (and Columbia) prevented the sort of modular innovation that became commonplace in the PC industry. This was the first of what (funding permitting) may become an annual conference. Meanwhile, the local representative of Nine Sigma was handing out flyers promoting the “4th SA Innovation Summit” on 30 August. The summit is dedicated to “change, revolution, transformation, metamorphosis, breakthrough” and proudly proclaims that “we are anti-red tape.” Posted by Joel West at 11:55 PM No comments: Labels: open source	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0096.json.gz/line62

Our old one was little more than a copy of the UK coat of arms (unsurprisingly granted by King George V in 1910). The new one is rather lovely, particularly when you start going into the symbolism: the writing at the bottom in a curve is our motto written in Khoisan language fo the \|Xam people and means ‘diverse people unite’ this evolves into two elephant tusks on either side symbolising wisdom, strength, moderation and eternity within the oval created by the tusks are two ears of wheat – symbols of fertility held by the wheat is a gold shield with two human figures from a famous piece of Khoisan rock art known as the Linton panel – they face one another in greeting and unity above them are a spear and knobkierie lying down to represent peace above this is a stylised protea above the protea a secretary bird is poised in flight, the protea forming its chest and lower body, which also looks like a diamond (one of the country’s rich natural resources), its legs the spear and knobkierie – uplifted wings show the ascendance of South Africa, but they also protect the rising sun symbolises the promise of rebirth; the symbol of life, light and wholeness South Africa’s national flag adopted in 1994 and first flown on the inauguration of Nelson Mandela, the design of the V flowing into a single horizontal line is said to represent the diverse elements of our society heading towards unity. South Africa’s national animal the springbok or Antidorcas marsupialis, hence our rugby team’s nickname – ‘the boks’ or ‘die bokke’. The buck is called such because of its ability to leap, or spring into the air. South Africa’s national bird the blue crane or Anthropoides paradisia, chosen as such because it is found almost entirely in South Africa. They’re ‘vulnerable’ on the Red List as there are only some 25 000 birds left, whilst they are protected in the Overberg and encouraged on farms. South Africa’s national flower the king protea or Protea cynaroides, looks something like an artichoke and is the largest of all the proteas, which are part of the Cape Floral Region, a biodiversity hotspot. South Africa’s national fish the galjoen or Dichistius capensis, more commonly known as the black bream. It is only found along the coast of South Africa from Namibia to Durban. South Africa’s national tree the real yellowwood or Podocarpus latifolius, an ancient tree found across the country. are awarded by the president to citizens and foreign nationals. Anyone can be nominated, they don’t have to be famous. They have only to have performed some act of bravery, or have served the country in some exceptional way. Nominations are considered by the National Orders Advisory Council. The Order of Mapungubwe – for citizens whose achievements have impacted internationally and served the interests of South Africa. The Order of the Baobab – for exceptional service in business and the economy; science, medicine, technological innovation and community service. The Order of Luthuli – for meaningful contribution to the struggle for democracy, human rights, nation-building, justice, peace and conflict resolution. The Order of the Companions of OR Tambo – for heads of state and senior diplomats of other countries who show friendship towards South Africa. The Order of Mendi for Bravery – for South Africans who have been extraordinarily brave, who have placed their lives in danger, or have lost their lives, whilst trying to save the life of another, or saving property, both in and outside South Africa. The Order of Ikhamanga – for South Africans who have excelled in the arts, culture, literature, music, journalism or sports arenas.

__label__wiki	0.970466	0.970466	Is The Tea Party's Latest Move Illegal? A Tea Party Super PAC is breaking new ground in the Senate primary in Tennessee, but does its apparent domination of Joe Carr’s campaign break the rules? Harrison McClary/Reuters In the final, frenzied days before an election, most U.S. Senate campaigns jam the calendar with voter rallies and message events to encourage as many supporters to go to the polls as possible. But in the three weeks leading up to Thursday’s primary in Tennessee, state Rep. Joe Carr’s campaign is sponsoring no rallies and holding no message events. Instead, the leading challenger to Sen. Lamar Alexander is crisscrossing the state to attend local GOP meetings and headline nine “Restore America—Joe Carr for U.S. Senate” rallies. The rallies feature all of the must-haves for a campaign event, including streamers, “Beat Lamar” yard signs, fresh-faced staff in matching “Beat Lamar” T-shirts and, of course, the candidate himself. The largest to-date featured radio host Laura Ingraham in Nashville, rallying 800 conservatives to go the polls for Carr and “Beat Lamar.” But the events are not a part of the Carr for Senate campaign, nor does his campaign pay for them. Instead, they are sponsored by the Real Conservatives National Committee, a Super PAC run by Tea Party veteran and grassroots ace Michael Patrick Leahy that created “Beat Lamar” to choose and then rally behind a conservative challenger to Alexander. Leahy’s goal, he says, is to be the “the conservative ground game specialists.” Unlike traditional Super PACs that typically operate at arm’s length from campaigns by focusing on ad buys, the “Beat Lamar” effort has often put the candidate at the center of its work. In addition to the rallies, Beat Lamar has paid a team of more than 40 canvassers to knock on more than 80,000 doors on Carr’s behalf, to attend Alexander campaign events with “Beat Lamar” signs, and to staff the Beat Lamar events that Carr attends. The arrangement is unorthodox enough that it could revolutionize the role that Super PACs play in campaigns. But it also dances on the edge of campaign finance law, which allows candidates to appear at Super PAC events, but prohibits any coordination of strategy or resources between a Super PAC and a campaign. Larry Noble, the former General Counsel to the FEC, called the series of “Beat Lamar” rallies in the absence of anything put on by the Carr campaign “very odd.” “There is a strong argument here that [the RCNC] is not running a shadow campaign or even a parallel campaign, but they are running a campaign with the candidate,” Noble said. “If these are events that are all about him and all about electing him, then there are serious issues about potentially crossing the line.” But in an interview with The Daily Beast, Leahy said the two efforts have no crossover. “We don’t coordinate with the campaign, but we have endorsed Joe and we invite him to attend the events,” Leahy told The Daily Beast. “We originally set up the events as debates on immigration and invited Lamar and Joe. Joe accepted immediately. Lamar never responded.” I spoke with Carr after a “Beat Lamar” rally for about 100 at a motel outside of Chattanooga, where we talked about his record in the Tennessee state house writing some of the toughest immigration laws in the country, including a mandatory e-verify system for employers and a prohibition on sanctuary cities. He also spoke, unprompted, about his campaign’s finances. “We've run a very different campaign than all the other campaigns before us. We have not received the outside financial help that other campaigns have received,” Carr said, a reference to the cold shoulder his campaign has gotten from the Senate Conservatives Fund, the Club for Growth and other Washington-based conservative money groups. “We’ve raised almost $1.3 million, of that we’ve received $16,000 in PAC money. That’s 1 percent. I mention that because I’m very proud of it,” Carr said, noting that $5,000 of the PAC money came from Sarah Palin’s PAC after she endorsed him. But left unsaid was the support that Carr has gotten indirectly both from “Beat Lamar,” which has raised about $260,000 and spent nearly all of it on a ground game for Carr, and Citizens 4 Ethics in Government, a second Super PAC that has spent more than $250,000 in ads against Alexander in the campaign’s final week, and about $30,000 supporting Carr. In addition to supporting Carr for Senate, the common thread linking the Carr campaign, “Beat Lamar,” and Citizens 4 Ethics in Government is Andy Miller, a conservative venture capitalist based in Nashville who has maxed out to Carr’s campaign with $5,200, and is the largest individual donor to both Super PACS, having given $52,500 to the RCNC and $120,000 to Citizens 4 Ethics in Government. Leahy calls Miller “a donor and a good guy,” but other Tennessee Republicans have less kind words for him. “He’s the dark overlord of right-wing candidates in Tennessee,” one GOP operative said. As one of Carr’s largest supporters, Miller made news this year when the Carr campaign made a $200,000 loan to one of Miller’s companies, an arrangement the Carr campaign said it cleared first with the Federal Election Commission. Miller was in the news again last month when an Alaskan blogger uncovered documents that showed Miller and Todd Palin as co-investors in an Alaska hospitality company. But even with the outside help from Miller and others, Carr won’t come close to matching the Alexander campaign’s resources, nearly $7 million raised so far, some of which has paid for a 32-city bus tour across the state. The luxury bus has occasionally been met by sign-wielding “Bear Lamar” staffers, several of whom described Carr as “an average Joe” and an “inspiration.” Carr himself is a natural challenger for the times, a home-schooling, gun-owning, white-haired grandfather with more than a bit of a contrarian streak. For Tea Partiers looking for red meat, Carr offers a record of real-world, far-right legislating, without Chris McDaniel’s wild-eye conspiracy theories. He points to Mike Lee of Utah as the type of senator he’d like to be--conservative, consistent, analytical. Had Carr run four years ago, like Lee, he might have been able to better harness the white-hot Tea Party anger than he has in 2014, when Republican leaders in Washington are struggling to live up to the hope activists had for them in 2010. But Carr is still making his pitch to Tennesseans to unseat the plaid-clad, courtly senior senator, whom Carr argues hasn’t got much to show for 12 years in the Senate. “There’s nothing wrong with Lamar. I like him,” Carr said before he left the “Beat Lamar” rally in Chattanooga. “But he hasn’t done anything. That’s the point.”	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0096.json.gz/line68

Renck [media-credit name=”Barry Gutierrez, The Associated Press” align=”aligncenter” width=”495″] [/media-credit] Rockies' Esmil Rogers throws in the Coors Field bullpen during rehab before a game against the Brewers on July 14. The Rockies on Monday added Esmil Rogers back to their roster, taking him off the 15-day disabled list. To make room, Colorado designated left-handed pitcher Eric Stults for assignment back at Triple-A Colorado Springs. Rogers will be available for Jim Tracy out of the bullpen tonight for a game against the Dodgers in Los Angeles. Rogers’ return from a strained right lat muscle and a sore shoulder — he was out for 75 games, in which the Rockies went 30-45 — leaves an unclear situation in the Rockies bullpen. His role could go several ways. Categories: General Rockies The mystery of Jason Hammel and other Rox news ‘n’ notes By Jim Armstrong PHOENIX — How can Jason Hammel be 2-9 since winning three of his first four starts in April? The sound bite from last week’s loss to Atlanta still hangs in their air: “It’s the mystery Jason Hammel.’’ That was Hammel’s description of himself after losing to the Braves. If anything, the mystery deepened tonight in a 12-3 loss to the Diamondbacks. Hammel allowed the first six hitters to reach base and was trailing 7-1 after two innings. Which would be borderline understandable if not for this: He thought he was going to dominate the Snakes.

Check out the link below. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fcIGAFMygk8 Undergraduate of the Quarter – Spring 2013 – Shelby Paulson Undergraduate of the Quarter – Spring 2013 Shelby Paulson grew up in Coos Bay, OR – graduating from Marshfield High School where she was a three-sport athlete (cross-country/track, basketball and swimming). Her senior year, she was awarded an Air Force ROTC Scholarship, which covered much of her cost to go to college. Military service is a tradition in her family as both her parents were in the Army. She selected OSU for college because her mom got her Masters degree from here and because “she didn’t want to to that school in Eugene.” Her favorite courses were the Integrated lab sequence because it was “lots of fun and hands on.” She also really enjoyed Staci Simonich’s CH 692 Environmental Transformation of Organic Compounds course and Jennifer Field’s Toxicology course. She has worked in Staci’s lab for over a year now and has really valued the experience. She has also been active in the Student Alumni Association during her time at OSU. After graduation, she will start her six-year service as an Air Battle Management Officer in the Air Force. We are fortunate to have talented students like Shelby in our Department, and we are grateful for her service to our country! Posted in Undergraduate of the Quarter.

Chemical Safety Memo Spring 2013 Safety Memo New Faculty Ranks At the April 11, 2013 meeting of the Faculty Senate we completed the work to implement new faculty ranks (Instructor, Faculty Research Assistant, and Professor of Practice series). President Ray approved these changes on May 10, 2013. The Faculty Handbook has been updated, and you can see the details of the changes on the Faculty Senate webcast site (http://oregonstate.edu/senate/webcast/2012-2013/1304/). We are writing to you today with some important matters related to the implementation. Below we will provide a brief summary of the new ranks and who is eligible. In italics we note several process issues to be aware of. Finally, at the end of the email we announce upcoming opportunities for faculty to develop teaching portfolios to use for promotion. The Faculty Senate will also sponsor a panel early in Fall of 2013 for “how to be an effective external reviewer” for promotions in the new instructor and FRA ranks. Faculty members with significant responsibility for non-traditional education or community outcomes may be defined as professors of practice. It is to be used only for faculty members whose primary work assignments are in professionally related community education and service, though scholarship and university service are also expected. Professor of Practice faculty are not eligible for tenure, but are eligible for extended fixed-term contracts at the Associate and Full Professor ranks. Note: Because this is a new category of faculty, we ask units to work with the Office of Academic Affairs before establishing and/or recruiting for professors of practice. Instructor series: Instructor, Senior Instructor I, and Senior Instructor II A faculty member currently in the rank of “Senior Instructor” will become “Senior Instructor I.” Promotion to the rank of Senior Instructor II may be considered after four years of full-time service at the rank of Senior Instructor I or the accumulation of its equivalent for part-time Senior Instructors at 0.50 FTE or greater. To be promoted, a candidate must have a sustained record of exceptional achievement and evidence of professional growth and innovation in assigned duties. Senior Instructors I and II are eligible for extended fixed-term contracts. Note: Units need to develop clear criteria for promotion to Senior Instructor II. Note: Promotions for instructors include a requirement for external review letters. These letters must come from people who are at, or above, the rank to which the faculty member is being promoted. A majority of the reviewers should be from outside the faculty member’s unit and you are encouraged to seek reviews external to OSU. Faculty Research Assistant series: Faculty Research Assistant, Senior Faculty Research Assistant I, and Senior Faculty Research Assistant II A faculty member currently in the rank of “Senior Faculty Research Assistants” will become “Senior Faculty Research Assistant I.” Promotion to the rank of Senior II Faculty Research Assistant may be considered after four years of full-time service at the rank of Senior Faculty Research Assistant I or the accumulation of its equivalent for part-time Senior Faculty Research Assistants at 0.50 FTE or greater. To be promoted, a candidate must have a sustained record of exceptional achievement and evidence of professional growth and innovation assigned duties.

Fall 2013 Workshops to Support the Promotion Process The traditional dossier used for promotions are not always the best approach for summarizing the impact of faculty work in instruction. The Center for Teaching and Learning will be sponsoring workshops next year on “Creating Effective Teaching Portfolios.” Getting good external reviews is always a challenge, and is especially a challenge for promotion of instructors. Part of the reason is the way we put together dossiers. But more important is that we are never really taught how to be an external reviewer. In the fall the Faculty Senate will sponsor a panel on “Being an Effective External Reviewer.” We encourage all senior ranked faculty (including senior instructors and FRA’s) as well as administrators to attend the workshop. Reminders will be sent out late summer and early fall. If you have any questions about the new ranks, or the process of appointing and promoting faculty in them, please let us know.

Tamburo, Editor in Chief, Publisher Originally Posted: 11/4/2005 12:43:41 PM OK, we Conservatives say that we’ve solidified behind President Bush after he picked Sam Alito to replace Harriet Miers, who withdrew from Supreme Court consideration. The one peripheral indictment in the CIA leak case was not for outing Plame, and the prosecutor has strongly said that this case has nothing to do with the propriety of the war. Ben Bernanke is a solid home run of a Fed chairman pick. The stock market is up over 400 points in less than two weeks, on this news as well as solid economy numbers. The President’s approval rating should be up, but instead, the Washington Post, Zogby and AP/Ipsos report that it is down. How is that possible? Dirty tricks. Rush Limbaugh, our fact exposing hero, has done it yet again. It seems that the pollsters have intentionally skewed the polls by oversampling Democrats and undersampling Republicans. This is not the first time that they have done this kind of ribald fact manipulation. Remember the 2004 election exit polls? Remember Susan Estrich crowing, "Either every exit poll I have seen is wrong or George Bush Loses" to Brit Hume on election night? I sure do! That time, the Left tried, in knowing violation of election laws, to steal the presidency from the American People. Their exit polls were intentionally skewed 60% female and 90% urban! Urban voters and women tend to vote more Democratic. The result was that every exit poll showed a Kerry landslide. In reality, Our President secured the largest vote that any Presidential candidate ever received. The exit pollsters’ effort to cause the networks to deflate Western GOP voters with their intentional lies, and thus swing the election to the America-hating Democrats failed -- miserably. We even added seats in both houses of Congress. "So how did AP, Zogby and the Post intentionally tank our President’s approval rating? Exactly the same way that the 2004 exit pollsters tried to steal the Presidency. They undersampled Republicans and oversampled Democrats." So how did AP, Zogby and the Post intentionally tank our President’s approval rating? Exactly the same way that the 2004 exit pollsters tried to steal the Presidency. They undersampled Republicans and oversampled Democrats. Their own background shows that the poll covers far fewer Republicans than Dems, notwithstanding other, reliable polls that show that far more Americans identify as Republican rather than Democratic. Of course our President, who is violently hated by Democrats, would poll way low. The Left has lost all sense of conscience (I dare not use the word morality with these people). They will stop at nothing. Harry Reid’s stunt, while silly and non-productive, at least was not illegal. One could argue that the 2004 exit poll fixing was attempted treason. The mainstream media senses the massive tide of public opinion shifting in our favor. They are Leftists, and they care nothing for the truth anyway, so they step in. With the same kind of honesty that caused Dan Rather to go on TV with poorly forged documents about our President’s National Guard service, C-BS and the AP ordered up an approval rating poll and made sure that Republicans were oversampled. Again, they seek to deflate our airship of support before we can get aloft. "Luckily for us, the media is not taken as seriously as it used to be. I guess the people get sick and tired of finding out that this story or that story was made up or enhanced." Luckily for us, the media is not taken as seriously as it used to be. I guess the people get sick and tired of finding out that this story or that story was made up or enhanced. Like the New York Times’ "selective editing" of a fallen war hero’s letter to his girlfriend. In that sick episode, the letter was edited in order to remove out the words that Corporal Jeffrey B. Starr, the fallen hero, wrote that supports the war. The end result made this unmitigated, dedicated, loyal war hero look like a demoralized prisoner of a bad choice to enlist. The author of this travesty refuses to consider that his edits made a dishonest piece of his article. So, to the Leftists, the goal is to get the power that they have lost back, no matter what it takes. See, Liberals believe that they are entitled to absolute power. They believe that their agenda, and only their agenda, is correct. The people who reject their philosophy are "stupid," "dumb," "evil," or any of the number of sickeningly offensive epithets that these snobs toss as us who live in, to use the Liberals’ own term, "Dumbfckistan" [asterisk by me]. Because, in their own world, everyone not a liberal is a moron, lying to us morons is nothing to them. So to fake up a bad approval rating is, to these people, harmless. After all, the Left has made it clear that nothing will stop them from seizing power again. Not the lawfully elected government, not the Constitution, not the laws, not the blogosphere, not Rush or Hannity or Laura Ingraham or anyone else. "Liberals have no agenda except to gain power. They have no belief set except that they feel entitled to absolute, complete, unquestioned power." Liberals have no agenda except to gain power. They have no belief set except that they feel entitled to absolute, complete, unquestioned power. Everything that they do is designed to further their goal of total power. Do you actually think that snobs that refer to every state that did not vote for Kerry in 2004 as "Jesusland" (meant as an epithet) and "Dumbfckistan" actually care about the people? Ha! Do you think that these people who call Michelle Malkin "gook" and Condoleezza Rice "House N*gga" -- because they have a different perspective on how things should be -- are actually "tolerant?" I just got my copy of Michelle’s book, Unhinged. The section that reprints a small portion of her hate mail is truly shocking. Any of you who read Michelle’s wonderful blog know that she never lies; she backs up everything with Stone Cold Hard Facts. As one hate mail person said, showing the Left’s true philosophy, she shouldn’t have any right to express any opinion. Everyone thought that Ann Coulter was joking when she said that the 2004 election was about the survival of the Republic. Ann was and is right. Sometimes I wonder if, in the event that the Left gains power again, we will have any more elections. These people simply cannot tolerate disagreement, much less criticism. Their only response to anything less than total fealty to their statements is to viciously attack. It saddens and scares me. It makes me more determined to vote the Left out of office every time I have the chance. And it should do so to you. If one takes the 37% approval rating, and adjusts the skewed polls to match the demographics of the country, the approval rating is higher than 50%. Now someone needs to take a non-skewed poll and validate my results. Fox -- are you listening? These America haters are indicted into our Hall of Shame.

Hoofnagle, Jessica O. Becker, Mark H. Wener, Jay W. Heinecke DOI: 10.1373/clinchem.2008.109652 Published October 2008 Andrew N. Hoofnagle Jessica O. Becker Mark H. Wener Jay W. Heinecke Background: Quantification of serum tumor markers plays an important role in determining whether patients treated for cancer require further therapy. Whereas large-scale proteomic efforts aim to identify novel tumor markers to facilitate early detection, optimization of methods for quantifying known tumor markers offers another approach to improving management of malignancies. For example, immunoassays used in clinical practice to measure established tumor markers suffer from potential interference from endogenous immunoglobulins and imperfect concordance across platforms—problems that also plague many other immunoassays. To address these important limitations, this study used peptide immunoaffinity enrichment in concert with liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) to quantify thyroglobulin, a well-characterized tumor marker. Methods: We identified 3 peptides in tryptic digests of thyroglobulin that were detected at low concentrations by tandem mass spectrometry, raised polyclonal antibodies to those peptides, and used the antibodies to extract the 3 corresponding peptides from tryptic digests of human serum. We quantified each endogenous peptide using LC-MS/MS and multiple reaction monitoring with external calibrators. Results: The detection limit for endogenous thyroglobulin in serum was 2.6 μg/L (4 pmol/L). Direct comparison with immunoassay revealed good correlation (r2 = 0.81). Conclusions: Immunoaffinity peptide enrichment–tandem mass spectrometry can detect tryptic peptides of thyroglobulin at picomolar concentrations while also digesting the endogenous immunoglobulins that can potentially interfere with traditional immunoassays. Our observations suggest a general analytical strategy for using immunoaffinity isolation together with tandem mass spectrometry to quantify tumor antigens and other low-abundance proteins in human serum. There is intense interest in using proteomics to discover novel biomarkers for the diagnosis and prognosis of disease; however, validation has proved to be a major stumbling block (1). Although the final aim of biomarker discovery efforts is the development of a novel quantitative clinical assay, current immunoassay methodologies suffer from well-known limitations. Successful clinical validation of new disease markers may be hampered by these limitations when tested in diverse patient populations. Serum thyroglobulin (Tg),1 which is already used in conjunction with imaging to determine the clinical management of patients following treatment of thyroid carcinoma, represents one of the best-validated serum tumor markers in clinical chemistry (2)(3)(4)(5). It is also an example of a biomarker whose clinical utility is hampered by limitations in analytical methods. Several studies have meticulously characterized the problems associated with the quantification of serum thyroglobulin, problems that are shared by many other immunoassays. For example, approximately 10% of patients have antibodies to Tg that could potentially interfere with immunoassays (6)(7)(8)(9). The prevalence of Tg autoantibodies increases to 25% in patients with differentiated thyroid carcinoma, although the reasons for this are incompletely understood (10)(11)(12). In addition, 3% of all patients have nonspecific heterophilic interfering antibodies that bind to reagent immunoglobulins, typically causing false-positive results in sandwich immunometric assays. Heterophilic antibody blocking reagents can reduce the number of false positives 30-fold, but a number of subjects continue to have false-positive results (13). Commercial serum thyroglobulin assays also suffer from a lack of concordance across platforms, likely owing to large variability in posttranslational modification of Tg in vivo (14)(15)(16). Even with an international reference material available, results for patient samples are often substantially different with different assays—an issue common to other immunoassays (17)(18)(19). To test a general approach to detecting low-abundance proteins in serum that avoids the limitations inherent to immunoassays, we took advantage of the power of mass spectrometry (MS) to detect specific peptides in complex mixtures. Previous attempts to use MS to quantify low-abundance endogenous serum proteins include the direct detection of peptides from trypsin-digested serum with (20) and without (21) serum fractionation. However, only nanomolar concentrations of endogenous protein were detectable. We therefore tested a method developed by Anderson et al. (22), termed “stable isotope standards and capture by antipeptide antibodies,” that combines immunoaffinity peptide purification with tandem mass spectrometry. As a test protein, we selected thyroglobulin. peptide isolation and identification Purified human thyroglobulin (Swiss-Prot accession no. P01266; Cortex Biochem) was digested with 3 different digestion protocols (see details in Supplemental Methods, which accompanies the online version of this article at http://www.clinchem.org/content/vol54/issue11 ). For digestion 1, Tg was denatured with urea, reduced, alkylated, and digested with trypsin. Digestion 2 used the same conditions as digestion 1 without reduction and alkylation. Digestion 3 used the same conditions as Digestion 1 except that Tg was supplemented with normal human serum (Tg:serum protein ratio approximately 1:60). We purified the resulting peptides from each digestion using solid-phase extraction and identified them using 2 complementary techniques: (a) microelectrospray ionization liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) on a linear ion trap mass analyzer and (b) off-line HPLC-plate spotting followed by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization–tandem time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF/TOF). Database searching was performed as described in the online Supplemental Methods. The peptides used below were unique in the translated nonredundant human genome database according to Blast searching performed as described in the online Supplemental Methods. internal standard peptide Stable isotope–labeled internal standard peptide (VIFDANAPVAVR, where V represents 13C5,14N-labeled valine) was synthesized and analyzed for purity and amino acid content (AnaSpec). We based subsequent calculations of concentration on the purity assessment and amino acid analysis. Isotopic purity of the peptide was 99.9%. quantification of international tg reference material After reduction and alkylation, triplicate dilution series of a certified reference preparation of Tg (BCR-457; Sigma) were digested for 2 h at 37 °C using 0.5 μg sequencing-grade modified trypsin in 0.1% Rapigest (Waters Corp.). Peptides were then lyophilized and reconstituted in 5% acetonitrile, 0.1% formic acid in water. Suspended peptides were mixed with an equal volume of isotope-labeled peptide (15 nmol/L) and analyzed using LC-MS/MS. To determine the concentration of BCR-457, we fitted data from 3 independent experiments using the relation y = Axn, which was used to calculate the dilution necessary to achieve a response of 1.0 [i.e., solving for the dilution (x) where the response (y) equals 1.0]. antiserum preparation Based on the MS/MS analysis of tryptic digests of Tg (see Results), we selected 3 peptides for antiserum production (VIFDANAPVAVR, peptide 1; LGDQEFIK, peptide 2; and FPLGESFLVAK, peptide 3) (EZBiolab). We conjugated each peptide (2 mg) to 10 mg keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH) (Calbiochem) using the glutaraldehyde method. We also conjugated peptide 1 to KLH using N-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-N′-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (EDAC) (Sigma), according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The efficiency of conjugation was >65% for each reaction, as assessed by MS/MS quantification of peptide that passed through a 10-kDa MWCO Microcon filter (Millipore). The peptide-KLH conjugates were combined and used to immunize 2 New Zealand White rabbits (standard protocol; Pacific Immunology). peptide-conjugate beads, affinity purification of antibody, and antipeptide paramagnetic beads We conjugated the peptides to BSA using the same procedures as for KLH. Peptide-BSA conjugates were then covalently bound to CNBr-activated Sepharose 4B (0.32 g) (GE Lifesciences) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Analysis of the protein concentration of the supernatant confirmed >63% conjugate binding to the beads (Coomassie Plus; Pierce). We incubated the peptide-BSA-Sepharose conjugate with 10 mL rabbit serum (16 h, 4 °C), washed the beads with PBS, and eluted the antibodies in 870-μL fractions with 200 mmol/L glycine, pH 2.80, into tubes containing 27 μL 3 mol/L Tris, pH 8.6, and 100 μL 3 mol/L KCl. Peak fractions were pooled. The yield was 2–6 mg per 10 mL rabbit serum. The affinity-purified antibody was covalently bound to tosyl-activated Dynal M-280 beads (Invitrogen) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Reactions resulted in 2.3 (0.12) [mean (SD)] pmol binding sites/μL paramagnetic beads (2 × 109 beads/μL). affinity purification of thyroglobulin peptides Serum (100 μL) was diluted with 400 μL 100 mmol/L NH4HCO3, 0.005% Tween 20, and reduced with 5 mmol/L dithiothreitol (60 min, 37 °C, with rotation). Samples were alkylated in the dark with 15 mmol/L iodoacetamide (15–120 min) and digested in 2 steps: first with 4.5 μg trypsin (4 h, 37 °C, with rotation) and second with 4.5 μg trypsin (16 h, 37 °C, with rotation). We added 20 μL beads (46 pmol peptide binding sites) and 10 μL internal standard peptide (15 nmol/L), followed by incubation for 16 h at 4 °C. The beads were then washed twice with 500 μL 100 mmol/L ammonium acetate and twice with 500 μL water. Bound peptides were eluted with 15 μL 2% acetic acid (1–2 h, room temperature, with rotation). We processed human serum calibrators with known Tg concentrations in parallel with clinical specimens (0, 2, 5, and 20 μg/L). liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry Complete method details are provided in the online Supplemental Methods. Peptides were loaded onto a peptide-trapping column and washed with 2% acetonitrile, 0.1% formic acid in water before being eluted onto a 0.15-mm-diameter C18 analytical column with a linear gradient to 34.3% acetonitrile, 0.1% formic acid over 8 min at 1 μL/min. We analyzed the peptides in multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode using an Applied Biosystems API 4000 QTRAP with the m/z transitions 636.4/1059.6 (precursor+2/y10), 636.4/541.3 (precursor+2/y5) for peptide 1, 475.3/836.4 (precursor+2/y7), 475.3/779.4 (precursor+2/y6) for peptide 2, 604.3/850.5 (precursor+2/y8), 604.3/963.5 (precursor+2/y9) for peptide 3, and 639.8/1065.6 (precursor+2/y10), 639.4/547.3 (precursor+2/y5) for the internal standard peptide. Endogenous peptide peak areas were normalized to the peak area of the internal standard peptide and averaged for duplicate injections. Normalized endogenous peptide peak areas were then converted to Tg concentrations using a calibration curve generated from external human serum calibrators as illustrated in the online Supplemental Fig. 1. human samples All human samples were used in accordance with guidelines established by the Human Subjects Committee of the University of Washington. selecting tg peptides for lc-ms/ms analysis We analyzed tryptic digests of Tg with and without serum supplementation by tandem mass spectrometers interfaced with different ionization systems to determine which Tg peptides could best be detected and quantified by this approach. Data for the 15 most abundant peptides are presented in the online Supplemental Table 1. We immunized 2 New Zealand White rabbits with the 3 peptides that were detected most reliably by both ESI-ion trap and MALDI-TOF/TOF instruments. We included the fourth-most abundant peptide from digestion 1 (FPLGESFLVAK) rather than the third-most abundant one (SHGQDSPAVYLK), because the latter was not well recovered when Tg was digested without reduction and alkylation or in the presence of serum proteins. Rather than generating 3 individual polyclonal preparations, we separately conjugated the peptides to KLH and immunized the rabbits with the pooled conjugates. We chose the most abundant peptide across platforms and digestions (VIFDANAPVAVR, peptide 1) as the internal standard peptide and synthesized a stable isotope–labeled peptide. isotope dilution quantification of thyroglobulin in the certified reference material The international certified reference material BCR- 457, which is used to provide traceable commercial immunoassays, was generated in 1992 from pooled human thyroglobulin from cadaveric thyroid tissue (23). However, the concentration of thyroglobulin was quantified using the Lowry method, which has been shown to be less precise than direct detection (24). We therefore quantified the amount of thyroglobulin in the preparation by isotope dilution, using a stable isotope–labeled synthetic peptide (peptide 1). Linear dilutions of a thyroglobulin–internal standard peptide mixture were digested, and the peptide mixture was supplemented with known amounts of internal standard peptide (Fig. 1⇓ ). This approach indicated that the concentration of thyroglobulin in BCR-457 was 317 (7) mg/L (n = 3), which is very similar to the previously assigned value of 324 (18) mg/L. Quantification of international certified reference material (BCR-457) by isotope dilution MS/MS. Triplicate dilutions of the certified reference material were digested with trypsin. The concentration of peptide 1 was determined in the tryptic digests from the ratio of endogenous to internal standard peptide. Each replicate dilution series is represented with different symbols. The curve representing the average of the data points was fitted to the equation y = Axn, which was used to determine the dilution necessary to achieve a response of 1.0. Results represent those observed in 3 independent experiments. optimization of digestion for quantification by lc-ms/ms Thyroglobulin is a large macromolecule consisting of two 330-kDa monomers. We first attempted to detect Tg after using size-exclusion chromatography or ultrafiltration to separate it from other serum proteins before trypsin digestion. Enrichment of Tg using size separation was ineffective, resulting in a limit of detection more than 1000-fold higher than the clinically desired limit of detection. We therefore optimized the digestion of whole serum for the immunoaffinity enrichment of Tg peptides. One important source of variability in proteomic analyses is partial proteolytic digestion of complex biological material. High concentrations of chaotropic salts are commonly used to denature proteins and help facilitate more complete tryptic digestion (25). Although the denaturants are generally removed by solid-phase extraction after digestion, their use could increase variability owing to differential recovery of peptide and additional specimen manipulation. As an alternate approach, we tested different concentrations of Tween 20, a nonionic detergent that helps denature proteins and may also improve stringency in the immunoaffinity purification step. Reduction and alkylation of 20% serum made the solution cloudy, but adding trypsin always cleared it when Tween 20 was present (0.005%, wt/vol). To promote proteolysis, we therefore included Tween rather than chaotropic salts in the serum digestion step. Sequencing-grade modified trypsin, which is usually used at much higher concentrations than in our studies, is expensive. We therefore investigated other commercial preparations of modified trypsin at 135–17 000 units of enzyme-specific activity per sample. However, only sequencing-grade trypsin was able to clarify the 10 human samples tested. Importantly, at the relatively low concentrations of trypsin used, it is unlikely that these clarified samples were completely digested. optimizing tg quantification by immunoaffinity peptide enrichment and lc-ms/ms We incubated tryptic digests of reduced and alkylated serum with anti-Tg peptide antibodies bound to paramagnetic beads. After washing, bound peptides were eluted from the beads and bound to a C18 trapping column. The column was then washed, and the peptides were eluted and resolved on an analytical column with an acetonitrile gradient. Fig. 2⇓ illustrates the ion current chromatogram for the internal standard and endogenous peptide MRM transitions. Peptides 1 and 2 elute earlier than peptide 3 and have a narrower peak width. Tandem mass spectra were collected in parallel with the MRM transitions, using the linear ion trap of the 4000 Q-TRAP mass spectrometer (Fig. 2⇓ , right panels). Interpretable MS/MS spectra were acquired for each peptide in samples containing as little as 100 μg/L endogenous Tg. Chromatography and tandem mass spectrometry of immunoaffinity-purified thyroglobulin peptides. Immunoaffinity-purified peptides were first loaded onto a peptide-trapping column before being resolved with a C18 analytical column, ionized using micro-ESI, and analyzed using MRM. Elution profiles of peptides purified from a digest of human serum are shown (left panels). Fragment ion spectra were collected in the linear ion trap of the mass spectrometer at the same time as MRM data. They are shown for each peptide (right panels). V*, stable isotope–labeled valine residue. To determine which of the 3 peptides performed best in the assay, we tested human serum containing 319 μg/L endogenous thyroglobulin diluted serially with serum lacking Tg. The 3 peptides exhibited different behaviors (Fig. 3⇓ ). Each of the peptides had a marked background signal resulting from peptide that populated antigen-binding sites after affinity purification of the antibody. Peptide 2 performed best, however, with a minimal detectable concentration of 3.9 μg/L in this experiment. Peptide 1 had a higher background signal and had a minimal detectable concentration of 35 μg/L. The peak area of peptide 3 demonstrated greater variability in its signal-to-noise ratio, and the minimal detectable concentration of Tg was 319 μg/L. After digestion, we added internal standard peptide to control for variability in the volume of immunoglobulin-coated beads added, variability in sample volume injected, and mass spectrometer performance. After normalization to the internal standard peptide, the responses of peptides 1 and 2 had characteristics similar to their respective ion current peak areas, but the response of peptide 3 was still more erratic (Fig. 3⇓ ). LC-MS/MS response of endogenous thyroglobulin peptides vs concentration. Shown are the ion current peak areas (left panels) and responses (peak area of endogenous/peak area internal standard peptide; right panels) for each peptide detected in a dilution series of a human serum sample containing 319 μg/L Tg. The internal standard peptide is chemically identical to peptide 1 and differs only in mass. Because of its superior performance in the LC-ESI-MS/MS analysis, we used peptide 2 to quantify Tg in subsequent human serum specimens. We calculated peptide response as the peak area of analyte divided by the peak area of the surrogate internal standard isotope–labeled peptide, which was chemically identical to peptide 1 rather than peptide 2. We analyzed external human serum calibrators (0, 2, 5, and 20 μg/L) in parallel with other specimens. Performance characteristics of the assay are presented in Table 1⇓ . Intraassay imprecision was 13.7% at 22.3 μg/L, 22.5% at 5.5 μg/L, and 21.4% at 3.8 μg/L (6 pmol/L). Interassay precision was 17.4% at 6.0 μg/L. The lower limit of detection, defined as the concentration corresponding to mean + 2 SDs of the zero calibrator, was 2.6 μg/L (4 pmol/L), which is equivalent to 0.8 femtomoles of peptide injected on column. At 3.8 μg/L, the mean signal-to-noise ratio was 13.8. Recovery of Tg added at 21.6 μg/L to 5 different human serum samples lacking Tg ranged from 85.0% to 99.6% [mean (SD), 93.0% (5.4%)]. Calculated using peak area, carryover was 0.8% (0.8%). Performance characteristics. correlation of tg quantification by immunoassay and mass spectrometry To determine how well the results of the LC-ESI-MS/MS assay correlated with those from a clinical immunoassay for Tg, we analyzed 33 samples previously quantified by the Beckman Access 2 assay. The range of Tg concentrations determined by the immunoassay was 3.0–33.2 μg/L. The Deming regression equation had a slope (95% CI) of 1.03 (0.85–1.22) and an intercept of −1.84 (−4.93 to 1.26). The correlation (r2) was 0.81, and the standard error of the residuals (Sy\|x) was 3.91 (Fig. 4⇓ ). Correlation of Tg quantification by immunoaffinity enrichment–LC-MS/MS and an immunoassay. Results using immunoaffinity purification of peptides from tryptic digests with external calibration were compared with a standard clinical immunoassay for Tg in serum (left). The Deming regression equation (Analyse-It) is shown with the Pearson correlation coefficient (r2). The residuals of each data point from the regression line are also shown (right) with the standard error of the residuals (Sy\|x). The estimate of the true value was calculated using the ratio of the SD of each method using Analyse-It. Serum Tg has long been a thorn in the side of clinical tumor marker immunoassays because of its low concentration and common interferences (8)(10)(11)(13)(26). Therefore, we used Tg as the analyte in this study, which tested peptide immunoaffinity purification/mass spectrometry to measure an endogenous, clinically important low-abundance protein in human serum, a complex biological matrix. We were able to reliably detect 2.6 μg/L (4 pmol/L) of endogenous Tg, which is well within the range of 2.3–139 μg/L observed in euthyroid subjects (27). Our results demonstrate a marked improvement in the limit of detection over previously published MS approaches. For example, MS has been used to quantify peptides derived from tryptic digests of proteins in human serum, including Zn-α2 glycoprotein (21), which was detected with a limit of detection of 90 nmol/L (approximately 3 mg/L). A study that fractionated serum to quantify C-reactive protein had a limit of detection of 7 nmol/L (20). Whiteaker et al. (28) used stable isotope standards and capture by antipeptide antibodies to detect endogenous fibulin-2 in mouse plasma with a limit of detection of 380 pmol/L. Quantifying Tg by peptide capture and LC-MS/MS performed well in comparison with the immunoassay we used, even in the low picomolar range in serum. Peptide immunoaffinity purification/mass spectrometry (22) has potential advantages over immunoassays. For example, it is in principle straightforward to multiplex the assay by including additional antipeptide antibodies and isotope-labeled peptides. Moreover, because of the power of MS/MS and MRM to detect peptides in complex mixtures, it is not necessary to develop highly specific antibodies that react only with the peptides or proteins of interest. Indeed, in this experiment, the rabbit antiserum used contained antibodies directed against all 3 Tg peptides. Finally, because our protocol digests endogenous immunoglobulins that can potentially interfere with immunometric measurements, it should avoid many potential limitations of conventional immunoassays (8)(13)(26). The peptide immunoaffinity enrichment strategy offers other advantages. For example, many investigators have attempted to decrease the limit of detection of MS analysis by immunodepleting abundant proteins. However, removing immunoglobulins could also deplete the analyte of interest in patients with autoantibodies. It is well known that many proteins strongly interact with albumin (29), so removal of this single-most-abundant serum protein could also produce erroneously low measurements. By directly detecting analyte in reference to a stable isotope–labeled internal standard peptide, mass spectrometry has the advantage of being more easily standardized across laboratories (18), provided a reference preparation is available, as is the case for Tg (23). The improvements in low-abundance serum protein quantification presented here could help provide an alternative diagnostic approach to the methods that are traditionally plagued by interference and lack of standardization (7)(19)(26). It is important to note several limitations of our studies. For example, 4 μg affinity purified polyclonal antibody was required for each sample and calibrator, which is 2–3 orders of magnitude more than what is commonly used in sandwich ELISA protocols (30). Additionally, small amounts of the peptides were noncovalently associated with the albumin-peptide conjugate and bound directly to the CNBr-activated beads used for affinity purification. Those peptides were slowly hydrolyzed from the solid phase, which led to a background signal. As a result, only peptide 2 of the 3 peptides tested allowed sufficient detection of endogenous thyroglobulin, owing to its lower background signal. In addition, it appears that peptide 3 elicited a weaker antibody response than the other peptides, as evidenced by its relatively high limit of detection. Using other strategies to generate affinity-purified, high-avidity polyclonal antibodies might alleviate these problems, which could also be avoided by using monoclonal antibodies that do not require affinity purification. Even in the face of difficulties with 2 of the 3 peptides, however, we were able to demonstrate good intraassay imprecision for peptide 2 at a concentration of 3.8 μg/L (6 pmol/L) in human serum. Despite these limitations, this peptide affinity isolation strategy offers major advantages. It is relatively straightforward to generate polyclonal antibodies to candidate biomarkers, and cross-reacting antibodies can be used. Also, an internal standard automatically corrects for differences in analyte recovery and detection during sample work-up and analysis. In conclusion, we employed Tg, a protein that is present at low concentrations in serum and commonly associated with interfering antibodies, to demonstrate the feasibility of using peptide affinity capture and MS/MS to quantify a well-characterized tumor marker. Further studies of this approach have the potential to provide new benchmark methods for quantifying proteins in clinical samples.

Restrauateur Tim McLoone has temporarily closed down both his establishments on the boardwalk, Tim McLoone’s Supper Club and the Asbury Grille. McLoone said this week that improvements to the upstairs Supper Club will be “modest” and include new paint, carpeting and new furniture. The downstairs where the Asbury Grille was located, is being completely overhauled. This will be the new site of The Robinson Ale House, a replica of McLoone’s The Robinson Ale House in Red Bank which opened in December of 2014. The new ale house will have a lighter color scheme and serve more seafood meals than the Red Bank location. McLoone said the former Asbury Grille did not give people a specific reason for coming there. He believes that The Robinson Ale House will.

Oregon Regulations CHAP 340 DIVISION 42 TOTAL MAXIMUM DAILY LOADS (TMDLS) The Oregon Administrative Rules contain OARs filed through July 14, 2006 Policy, Purpose and Effect (1) The public policy of the State of Oregon is to protect, maintain and improve the quality of waters of the state for beneficial uses and to provide for prevention, abatement and control of water pollution. To achieve and maintain water quality standards, the Environmental Quality Commission may impose limitations and controls including Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs), wasteload allocations for point sources and load allocations for nonpoint sources. (2) The policy of the Environmental Quality Commission is to have the Department of Environmental Quality establish TMDLs, including wasteload and load allocations, and have responsible sources meet these allocations through compliance with discharge permits or other strategies developed in sector or source-specific implementation plans. These measures must achieve and maintain water quality standards and restore waters of the state that are water quality limited. (3) These rules establish procedures for developing, issuing and implementing TMDLs as required by the Federal Water Pollution Control Act Section 303(d) (33 USC Section 1313(d)) and authorized by Oregon statutes to ensure that state water quality standards are met and beneficial uses protected. (4) The Department of Environmental Quality will review any changes to Federal Water Pollution Control Act Section 303(d) or implementing regulations in 40 CFR Part 130 promulgated after the effective date of these rules. The Department may subsequently recommend that the Environmental Quality Commission amend, repeal or adopt new rules. Rules adopted by the Commission remain in effect until the Commission takes action on the recommendations. [Publications: Publications referenced are available from the agency.] Stat.

(1) "Background Sources" include all sources of pollution or pollutants not originating from human activities. In the context of a TMDL, background sources may also include anthropogenic sources of a pollutant that the Department or another Oregon state agency does not have authority to regulate, such as pollutants emanating from another state, tribal lands or sources otherwise beyond the jurisdiction of the state. (2) "Designated Management Agency (DMA)" means a federal, state or local governmental agency that has legal authority over a sector or source contributing pollutants, and is identified as such by the Department of Environmental Quality in a TMDL. (3) "Director" means the Director of the Department of Environmental Quality or the Director's authorized designee. (4) "Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC)" means a multi-scale numeric code used by the U.S. Geological Survey to classify major areas of surface drainage in the United States. The code includes fields for geographic regions, geographic subregions, major river basins and subbasins. The third field of the code generally corresponds to the major river basins named in OAR chapter 340, division 41. The fourth field generally corresponds to the subbasins typically addressed in TMDLs. (5) "Local Advisory Group" means a group of people with experience and interest in a specific watershed or subbasin that is designated by the Department to provide local input during TMDL development. (6) "Management Strategies" means measures to control the addition of pollutants to waters of the state and includes application of pollutant control practices, technologies, processes, siting criteria, operating methods, best management practices or other alternatives. (7) "Performance Monitoring" means monitoring implementation of management strategies, including sector-specific and source-specific implementation plans, and resulting water quality changes. (8) "Pollutant" has the meaning provided in the Federal Water Pollution Control Act Section 502 (33 USC Section 1362). (9) "Reasonable Assurance" means a demonstration that a TMDL will be implemented by federal, state or local governments or individuals through regulatory or voluntary actions including management strategies or other controls. (10) "Sector" means a category or group of similar nonpoint source activities such as forestry, agriculture, recreation, urban development or mining. (11) "Sector-Specific Implementation Plan" or "Source-Specific Implementation Plan" in the context of a TMDL means a plan for implementing a Water Quality Management Plan for a specific sector or source not subject to permit requirements in ORS 486.050. The elements of an implementation plan are described in OAR 340-042-0080. (12) "Source" means any process, practice, activity or resulting condition that causes or may cause pollution or the introduction of pollutants to a waterbody. (13) "Subbasin" means the designation in the fourth field of the U.S. Geological Survey Hydrologic Unit Code. (14) "Surrogate Measures" means substitute methods or parameters used in a TMDL to represent pollutants. (15) "Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL)" means a written quantitative plan and analysis for attaining and maintaining water quality standards and includes the elements described in OAR 340-042-0040. These elements include a calculation of the maximum amount of a pollutant that a waterbody can receive and still meet state water quality standards, allocations of portions of that amount to the pollutant sources or sectors, and a Water Quality Management Plan to achieve water quality standards. (16) "Waterbody" means any surface waters of the state. (17) "Water Quality Management Plan (WQMP)" means the element of a TMDL describing strategies to achieve allocations identified in the TMDL to attain water quality standards. The elements of a WQMP are described in OAR 340-042-0040(4)(l). Establishing Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) (1) The Department will establish TMDLs for pollutants in waters of the state that are listed in accordance with the Federal Water Pollution Control Act Section 303(d) (33 USC Section 1313(d)). (2) The Department will group stream segments and other waterbodies geographically by subbasin and develop TMDLs for those subbasins, unless it determines another approach is warranted. (3) The Department will prioritize and schedule TMDLs for completion considering the following factors: (a) Severity of the pollution, (b) Uses of the water, (c) Availability of resources to develop TMDLs, (d) Specific judicial requirements, and (e) Any other relevant information. (4) A TMDL will include the following elements: (a) Name and location. This element describes the geographic area for which the TMDL is developed and includes maps as appropriate. (b) Pollutant identification. This element identifies the pollutants causing impairment of water quality that are addressed in the TMDL. (c) Water quality standards and beneficial uses. This element identifies the beneficial uses in the basin and the relevant water quality standards, including specific basin standards established in OAR 340-041-0202 through 340-041-0975. The beneficial use that is most sensitive to impairment by the pollutant or pollutants addressed in the TMDL will be specified. (d) Loading capacity. This element specifies the amount of a pollutant or pollutants that a waterbody can receive and still meet water quality standards. The TMDL will be set at a level to ensure that loading capacity is not exceeded. Flow assumptions used in the TMDL will be specified. (e) Excess load. This element evaluates, to the extent existing data allow, the difference between the actual pollutant load in a waterbody and the loading capacity of that waterbody. (f) Sources or source categories. This element identifies the pollutant sources and estimates, to the extent existing data allow, the amount of actual pollutant loading from these sources. The TMDL will establish wasteload allocations and load allocations for these sources. The Department will use available information and analyses to identify and document sources. (g) Wasteload allocations. This element determines the portions of the receiving water's loading capacity that are allocated to existing point sources of pollution, including all point source discharges regulated under the Federal Water Pollution Control Act Section 402 (33 USC Section 1342). (h) Load allocations. This element determines the portions of the receiving water's loading capacity that are allocated to existing nonpoint sources of pollution or to background sources. Load allocations are best estimates of loading, and may range from reasonably accurate estimates to gross allotments depending on the availability of data and appropriate techniques for predicting loading. Whenever reasonably feasible, natural background and anthropogenic nonpoint source loads will be distinguished from each other. (i) Margin of safety. This element accounts for uncertainty related to the TMDL and, where feasible, quantifies uncertainties associated with estimating pollutant loads, modeling water quality and monitoring water quality. The TMDL will explain how the margin of safety was derived and incorporated into the TMDL. (j) Seasonal variation. This element accounts for seasonal variation and critical conditions in stream flow, sensitive beneficial uses, pollutant loading and water quality parameters so that water quality standards will be attained and maintained during all seasons of the year. (k) Reserve capacity. This element is an allocation for increases in pollutant loads from future growth and new or expanded sources. The TMDL may allocate no reserve capacity and explain that decision. (l) Water quality management plan (WQMP). This element provides the framework of management strategies to attain and maintain water quality standards. The framework is designed to work in conjunction with detailed plans and analyses provided in sector-specific or source-specific implementation plans. The WQMP will address the following: (A) Condition assessment and problem description. (B) Goals and objectives. (C) Proposed management strategies designed to meet the wasteload allocations and load allocations in the TMDL. This will include a categorization of sources and a description of the management strategies proposed for each source category. (D) Timeline for implementing management strategies including: (i) Schedule for revising permits, (ii) Schedule for achieving appropriate incremental and measurable water quality targets, (iii) Schedule for implementing control actions, and (iv) Schedule for completing other measurable milestones. (E) Explanation of how implementing the management strategies will result in attainment of water quality standards. (F) Timeline for attainment of water quality standards. (G) Identification of persons, including Designated Management Agencies (DMAs), responsible for implementing the management strategies and developing and revising sector-specific or source-specific implementation plans. (H) Identification of sector-specific or source-specific implementation plans that are available at the time the TMDL is issued. (I) Schedule for preparation and submission of sector-specific or source-specific implementation plans by responsible persons, including DMAs, and processes that trigger revisions to these implementation plans. (J) Description of reasonable assurance that management strategies and sector-specific or source-specific implementation plans will be carried out through regulatory or voluntary actions. (K) Plan to monitor and evaluate progress toward achieving TMDL allocations and water quality standards including: (i) Identification of persons responsible for monitoring, and (ii) Plan and schedule for reviewing monitoring information and revising the TMDL. (L) Plan for public involvement in implementing management strategies. (M) Description of planned efforts to maintain management strategies over time. (N) General discussion of costs and funding for implementing management strategies. Sector-specific or source-specific implementation plans may provide more detailed analyses of costs and funding for specific management strategies. (O) Citation of legal authorities relating to implementation of management strategies. (5) To determine allocations for sources identified in the TMDL, the Department: (a) Will use water quality data analyses, which may include statistical analyses or mathematical models. (b) May use surrogate measures to estimate allocations for pollutants addressed in the TMDL. The Department may use one or more surrogate measures for a pollutant that is difficult to measure or highly variable. A surrogate measure will be closely related to the pollutant, and may be easier to monitor and track. The TMDL will establish the correlation between the surrogate measure and pollutant. (6) The Department will distribute wasteload and load allocations among identified sources and in doing so, may consider the following factors: (a) Contributions from sources; (b) Costs of implementing measures; (c) Ease of implementation; (d) Timelines for attainment of water quality standards; (e) Environmental impacts of allocations; (f) Unintended consequences; (g) Reasonable assurances of implementation; and (h) Any other relevant factor. (7) After issuing the TMDL, the Department may revise the loading capacity and allocations to accommodate changed needs or new information. In making these revisions, the Department will comply with the public notice provisions in OAR 340-042-0050(2) and procedures for issuing TMDL orders in OAR 340-042-0060. (8) If the Environmental Protection Agency establishes a TMDL addressing waterbodies in Oregon, the Department may prepare a WQMP to implement that TMDL (1) The Department will establish a local advisory group or identify an existing group or forum to assist in developing a TMDL. (2) The Department will provide an opportunity for persons to review and comment on a draft TMDL and on proposals to revise loading capacity or allocations in a TMDL as follows: (a) The Department will maintain a mailing list for each TMDL. (b) The Department will provide notice and an opportunity for public comment on a proposed TMDL or revision to loading capacity or allocations in a TMDL. The public comment period will generally be 60 days. (c) The Department will respond to public comments received during the public comment period and will prepare a written summary of responses. Issuing a Total Maximum Daily Load (1) The Director will issue a TMDL as an order. If the Environmental Protection Agency establishes a TMDL addressing waterbodies in Oregon, the Director may issue as an order a WQMP to implement that TMDL. (2) The order will be effective and final on the date signed by the Director. (3) Following issuance, the Department will submit the TMDL to the Environmental Protection Agency. (4) Within 20 business days after the Director signs the order, the Department will notify all affected NPDES permittees, nonpoint source DMAs identified in the TMDL and persons who provided formal public comment on the draft TMDL that the order has been issued and the summary of responses to comments is available. Requesting Reconsideration or Appealing a Total Maximum Daily Load (1) Any person who participated in establishing a TMDL, including those who submitted comments, and any other person entitled to seek judicial review of an order issuing a TMDL may request reconsideration by the Director in accordance with OAR 137-004-0080. (2) A person may file a petition for judicial review of a final TMDL order as allowed by ORS 183.484. Implementing a Total Maximum Daily Load (1) Management strategies identified in a WQMP to achieve wasteload and load allocations in a TMDL will be implemented through water quality permits for those sources subject to permit requirements in ORS 468B.050 and through sector-specific or source-specific implementation plans for other sources. WQMPs will identify the sector and source-specific implementation plans required and the persons, including DMAs, responsible for developing and revising those plans. (2) The Oregon Department of Forestry will develop and enforce implementation plans addressing state and private forestry sources as authorized by ORS 527.610 through 527.992 and according to OAR chapter 629, divisions 600 through 665. The Oregon Department of Agriculture will develop implementation plans for agricultural activities and soil erosion and enforce associated rules as authorized by ORS 568.900 through 568.933 and according to OAR chapter 603, divisions 90 and 95. (3) Persons, including DMAs other than the Oregon Department of Forestry or the Oregon Department of Agriculture, identified in a WQMP as responsible for developing and revising sector-specific or source-specific implementation plans must: (a) Prepare an implementation plan and submit the plan to the Department for review and approval according to the schedule specified in the WQMP. The implementation plan must: (A) Identify the management strategies the DMA or other responsible person will use to achieve load allocations and reduce pollutant loading; (B) Provide a timeline for implementing management strategies and a schedule for completing measurable milestones; (C) Provide for performance monitoring with a plan for periodic review and revision of the implementation plan; (D) To the extent required by ORS 197.180 and OAR chapter 340, division 18, provide evidence of compliance with applicable statewide land use requirements; and (E) Provide any other analyses or information specified in the WQMP. (b) Implement and revise the plan as needed. (4) For sources subject to permit requirements in ORS 468B.050, wasteload allocations and other management strategies will be incorporated into permit requirements.

__label__wiki	0.606163	0.606163	"The Vatican Cellars" by Andre Gide This is a book by the author of The Immoralist whose plot I have totally forgotten but whose haunting images and poetic prose remain with me. The plot here is strangely constructed. Book One (30 pages) is about Anthime, a crippled vivisectionist and freemason who, despite living in Rome, is militantly atheist until a miracle occurs. In Book Two Anthime's brother-in-law, Julius, an aristocrat and novelist whose latest book is a distressing flop, seeks the secretarial services of beautiful 19 year old Lafcadio Wluiki on the instruction of his father; in the course of hiring Lafacdio he sneaks a look at a photograph which shows Lafcadio naked and at several cryptic diary entries in a notebook; later Lafcadio relates the story of his childhood amongst five aristocratic 'uncles'. In Book Three we meet the utterly ineffectual Amedee Fleurissoire who marries a girl no one else wants except for his best friend and then tells his best friend he will never have sex with the girl; he then learns that the Pope has been kidnapped (a rumour put around by a gang of swindlers led by Lacfadio's schoolboy pal, Protos) conning dowagers out of their savings to 'rescue' the Pope and travels to Rome to save the Pope. Here (book 4) he is tricked into sleeping in a brothel with the mistress of Protos (who, as his name suggests, is a veritable master of disguises) and tricked by Protos into cashing a cheque and bringing the cash to Protos to 'save the Pope'. But Lacfadio is travelling on the train (book 5) and murders Amedee on a whim and then is confronted by his old school chum Protos and blackmailed into working for him as a gigolo and sometime rent boy but the worms turn and Protos is in trouble but Lacfadio's conscience troubles him and somewhere along the line Anthime decides to renounce Catholicism and become a Freemason again. Not so much a plot as a set of short stories bundled together by unlikely coincidences (or is it all a huge conspiracy?). But Gide can write. He observes things that no author I know has previously observed: As Julius gets in to bed next to his wife Marguerite "she gave an animal grunt and turned to the wall." "I see something disquieting in the appearance of everyone I pass in the street. It alarms me if they look at me, and if they do't look at me they seem as if they were pretending not to see me." (p 144) And he writes beautiful pathetic fallacies: "Come, come, my son! You mustn't let yourself go like that. Well, yes! you have sinned, but, hang it all, you are still needed. (You've dirtied yourself; here, take this napkin; rub it off.) But of course I understand your anguish, and since you appeal to us, we will give you the means of redeeming yourself. (You're not doing it properly. Let me help you.)" (p 156) And there are philosophical pointers: "Do you know what I dislike about writing? - All the scratchings out and touchings up that are necessary? ... In life one corrects oneself ... but one can't correct what one does." (p 72) "1. The slim recognize each other. 2. The crusted do not recognize the slim." (p 216) The plot is bizarre. But the character of Lacfadio, the amoral, sexually ambivalent outsider, seems to be the template for Patricia Highsmith's The Talented Mr Ripley. December 2016; 237 pages Posted by daja at 21:49 2 comments: Labels: fiction, French "Sex, Literature and Censorship" by Jonathan Dollimore This is not a book I would normally have read except that I had previously read Dollimore's Death, desire and loss in Western culture and loved it. This is a little more academic and challenging for a person like myself who has never studied Gender let alone Queer Studies but Dollimore is a brilliant writer and some of his observations are even more acute and mind-transforming that in that previous book. His thesis in this book seems to be that we censor too much although the brilliance and scope of his analyses diluted the message for me. He makes three key points: Art is inherently and intentionally dangerous: artists want to change the world and it is disingenuous to argue that a work of art only has power as a work of art. "Human desire will not be contained by safe and reassuring narratives ... desire is perversely dangerous and often the more seductive for being so." (p 73) The world has been changed. "The increase in gay and bisexual people in more liberal climates isn't just a consequence of those who are 'already gay' and bisexual coming out; it's also because many more people are exploring homosexuality who otherwise wouldn't have." (p 102) There is a fundamental tension in society between society's needs and the individual's desires: "The daemonic ... is powerfully expressed in some of the great mythic oppositions in western culture, including the Greek one between Apollo and Dionysus [he references Medea by Euripedes] , the Renaissance ones between reason and passion, culture and nature, and most recently, Freud's account of human history as the unending antagonism between civilization and instinct." (p 73) It seems unlikely that "liberated desire would, as it were, civilize itself." (p 78) So censorship, a feature of all societies throughout history, is perhaps essential. The question then becomes at which point on the slippery slope do we draw a line? He doesn't seem to have an answer to this. What he does do is point out that our responses (often in terms of revulsion and hatred) to the inherent dangers of desire are culturally conditioned and he gives compelling examples of that conditioning. For example: "In Ancient Greece the love which a man felt for a boy would disappear abruptly when body hair appeared ... in Greece they were disgusted by men loving boys who were too old, while today most people are disgusted by men who love them too young" (pp 54 - 55) "Forbidden knowledge has always been a feature of human cultures ... Against that, the breaking of the injunction has been regarded as necessary for progress and liberation ... Straddling that opposition are some of the great transgressive figures of myth and literature, including Prometheus, Faust/us, Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, and of course Adam and Eve." (p 89) Too clever by half? "Nordau's notion of the 'higher degenerate', an individual who is dangerously brilliant because endowed with an intelligence which has evolved too far and at the expense of the ethical faculty" (p 115) Along the way he is fascinating about many other topics, listed in no particular order below: He starts by observing that bisexuality has caused significant problems for homosexuals and it seems to be because of the human tendency to dichotomise: "our current obsessive binary division between heterosexual and homosexual: the classification of people according to the sex/ gender of their partners, or desired partners." (pp 17 - 18). He cites his own experience as a gay man, a pioneer in Queer Studies, who found himself having a sexual relationship with a woman and being condemned by some who even accused him of being gay for his career: "but then I thought, hang on: actually any guy who could spend his life being fucked from pillow to bedpost by other guys ... deserved to have a fabulous career." (p 23) Gay people in the past, he says, has "theorized the bisexual as the biggest hypocrite of all in the sex arena, a bullshitter, a hedge-sitter, someone who wanted the best of all worlds without committing to any" (p 23) But "it was useful to ... see the judgemental sexual politicians either silenced or having to retool. (That's an unfortunate metaphor, but one which, on quick reflection, I think I'll keep.) (p 23) [You see, he can write beautifully!] But he must also consider the "much older idea of desire as inherently dangerous and always potentially disruptive" (p 18). "Our desire, in all its perversity, is drawn to the very exclusions which constitute it." (p 26) "There are homoerotic texts which convey even more acutely what it is to have one's identity wrecked by desire" eg Giovanni's Room and Death in Venice. (p 35) Desire is linked to disgust: Andre Gide (author of The Immoralist), in his autobiography, sees a little Arab lad being fucked by his friend and experiences revulsion, disgust. And we must take on the concept of "identity: the source of an essential, authentic selfhood for which we must be prepared to fight and suffer." (p 19) "An individual identity is composite, a partial organization, more or less complex, and based in part on exclusion" (p 82) "Notoriously in human history, those who have made progress have wanted to deny the same rights to others." (pp 24 - 25) "Of the vulnerable groups censors have obsessed about the most - women, the lower classes, and children - the first two have been emancipated, but not children, or even adolescents." (p 157) "Evil is not some-thing, but a turning-away from God, a perverse regression back to originary nothingness." (p 83) "The extreme contradiction in the anti-homosexual position ... : on the one hand homosexuality is so self-evidently 'hideous', 'loathsome', a 'degeneracy', a 'degradation', a 'debasement' ... that nay right-thinking and healthy person would avoid it like the plague. On the other hand it has this extraordinary capacity to seduce precisely the 'healthy', right-minded boy or girl; to devastate the entire younger generation, in fact." (p 100) "To be human is to be profoundly non-natural. A child dies: we never forget, and if we loved that child we maybe never recover. And yet nothing is more natural than for an organism to die in infancy. ... Human culture involves an attitude to nature which mixes repression, defiance and forgetting ... all of which are the condition of love." (p 69) "The Christian god, unlike his predecessors, does not desire. He is complete, wanting and lacking nothing. He absolutely does not desire because to desire is an imperfection and a limitation inseparable from mortality. Being perfect, the Christian god doesn't desire, but then he doesn't laugh, either." (p 77) "Corrupted reason was capable of an intensity of evil unknown to the non-rational or irrational. Lilies that fester smell far worse than weeds." (p 80); ref Angelo in Measure for Measure: it is the virgin Isabella for whom he self-destructively lusts A brilliant book. December 2016; 171 pages Labels: bisexuality, censorship, desire, disgust, homosexuality, identity, literature, Queer studies "Castle Rackrent" by Maria Edgeworth This is a two part story first published in 1800. It is narrated by an old retainer (Thady Quirk, honest Thady or old Thady) of a family of Irish gentry. The first half relates the history of the family till the present day. Sir Tallyhoo Rackrent died from a hunting accident and left the estate to his 'cousin-german' (we would now say first cousin) Sir Patrick O'Shaughlin on condition that he changed his name (and presumably his religion, O'Shaughlin being a Catholic name). Sir Patrick was a party animal who died after a particularly heavy party; his body was seized for deby which gave his heir (Sir Murtagh Rackrent) the excise to refuse to pay any debts. Sir Murtagh was a lawyer who sued everyone: "Out of forty-nine suits which he had, he never lost one but seventeen" but died while arguing with his wife about an abatement. The estate then passed to his younger brother Sir Kit Stopgap who immediately went to Bath and became an absentee landlord leaving the estate to "middle men" who bought leases cheap and rented them out dear but Sir Kit abroad gambled away all the money until everything was mortgaged. Then Sir Kit appointed Thody's son Jason as agent and married an heiress who was a Jewess and brought her back to Ireland and then locked her up in a room in the castle to extort money from her. Seven years later she was let out after her husband was killed by the third of his adversaries in consecutive duels. And so eventually a new heir arrived, Sir Conolly (Condy) Rackrent. The second book his Condy's story, still narrated by Thody who becomes even more gossipy and full of Irish idiom than before. Si Condy gets into debt and has to decide whether to marry the neighbouring heiress (against her father's wishes) or his childhood sweetheart. A toss of the coin decides him on the heiress. But the newlywed and rather unhappily wed couple are extravagant and soon the money has all gone and Thody's son Jason the agent starts to persuade Sir Condy to sell a little here and a little there and so starts but by bit to acquire the estate. Sir Condy's wife at one stage reads 'The sorrows of Werther'. This is a delightfully written and utterly picaresque family saga written very briefly and with a brilliant ear for the language of the time by one of the most gossipy narrators I have ever read. Great fun and very short.

It started well. He showed that public baths had started in Swindon (or possibly Ireland, and the London Turkish baths, or indeed the ones in Turkey, he mentioned briefly and then moved on) and suggested that this was a rerun of the obsession with public bathing enjoyed by the Romans but virtually forbidden (on grounds of indecency) by mediaeval Christianity: "St Anthony boasted that he had never washed his feet in his life." He is almost as successful when he suggests that the fitness gym is a direct descendant of the Greek enthusiasm for physical fitness, a descendant whose lineage has a two thousand year gap in it. And it has been regularly noted that in our attitude to sex (particularly homosexuality) we are as liberal as the Greeks and Romans if not even more so. But it is less clear cut when he talks about food. We may be obsessed with cookery ("'gourmet' ... probably derives from the same root as our 'groom'"), as were the Romans, but were not other generations, if we are to go by the record of feasts held in mediaeval and Georgian times: St Thomas Aqiuinas "was so gloriously fat that a segment had to be carved out of the refectory table to accommodate his massive paunch." He can certainly write. I loved his description of the spa attendant that handed him his robe as "the attendant with her not-quite-smile". He describes a man on a treadmill as "carrying enough weight to stop a Gold Cup horse in its tracks" and says that "In the gym everyone is a solipsist." But then he increasingly indulges in polemic. He claims that Science reflects the pre-Socratic philosophers such as Thales. Up to a point. He is vituperative about the militant atheists Dawkins etc and describes Voltaire's Candide as "still the ultimate and unanswerable polemic against scientific optimism" (whereas I thought it was written anti-religion; Voltaire was a notorious atheist). He talks dismissively about the multiple new age cults and compares them to the boom in pagan religions at the dawn of the first millennium; he really goes to town about Hadrian's gay lover Antinous. The problem is that Mount has ascended his soapbox. As his passions rise, his rhetoric gets louder and his evidence decreases. He interprets so much in the light of his own prejudices and he uses rhetoric (very Socratic) to replace evidence, for example when he repeatedly labels Dawkins, Dennett, Hitchens and Grayling as the 'anti-God-botherers'. As Mount gets angrier and angrier the details from the classical world get thinner. This is a thesis drowning in emotion and starving from lack of evidence. There were moments when I wondered how much research he had done. He claims: "It is in Swindon that Ricky Gervais sets his comedy of modern office life" although The Office is set in Slough (there is another branch of the company in Swindon). Since this was on the second page, it started me worrying. And yet how can it not be proven? The classical world that Mount describes lasts from the pre-Socratics from before 500 BCE until the Emperor Hadrian about 138 CE; in other words a period of at least 600 years. Inevitably, the culture he describes went through a number of transformations. The culture since 1416 has scarcely been uniform. To shows that an aspect of modern life is similar or dissimilar to an aspect cherry-picked from a 600 year period is surely not a particularly impressive feat. So in the end I was disappointed that a book that started so well should fizzle out so self-indulgently. December 2016; 385 pages Labels: classical world, history, polemic "There But For The" by Ali Smith This brilliant book has a really weird plot structure. Centring on a man who, in the middle of a dinner party, goes into one of the bedrooms and locks himself in there and refuses to come out, rather than following any conventional narrative structure it explores some of the characters with whom this man has some sort of relationship, from Anna, whom he met on a school trip years ago, to Mark whom he meets at the theatre the week before, to Brooke, a child at the dinner party, to Mrs Young, mother of his first girlfriend. And so this is really a set of linked short stories. But what makes it special is the extraordinary humour, mostly punning word play, which pervades the book; the fabulous set piece dinner party in the centre of the book with its brilliant humour developed from the extraordinary combination of characters, the best party since Abigail's (yes, I know it wasn't really Abigail's) the moments of deep insight; and the utterly brilliant writing skills which Smith brings to her prose. "She is over there in a ji (a ji: less than half a jiffy)." (p 309) "She was working at the computer in her office, doing admin, which is short for administration, which is short for migraine-stimulant." (p 316) "You enjoyed the play, didn't you? Mrs Lee said to Brooke. I found it weary, stale, flat and unprofitable, Brooke said. Mrs Lee laughed. A bit over her head, Mrs Lee said over Brooke's head to Brooke's parents." (p 292) The book is full of puns, from the dinner party hosts called Gen and Eric (generic) to: "A4, like paper? the child said. Or a road that is smaller than a motorway?" (p 55) "He's an ethic cleanser, the child says." (p 129) "He thinks of himself and Hugo in the bird-watching hut, Hugo behind him, deep inside him, say, you are coming aren't you? Working on it, Mark says laughing, any second now. I mean weekend after next, Hugo said sounding offended even through the effort of love. You are coming to Jan and Eric's?" I loved 'the effort of love'. (p 131) "Nasty, British and short." (p 147) The centrepiece is a wonderful dinner party in which the guests are: a right wing racist homophone whose company makes surveillance and military drones a gay man (Mark) who assumes his hostess is called Jan (she is called Gen) and the stranger he met at the theatre who has not had a sexual relationship with him (but everyone thinks they are a couple) a married man and his wife; the gay man (Mark) has recently had sex with the married man (Hugo) a black lecturer in metallurgy who loves musicals (so that the homophobe assumes he is gay) and his wife; they protest about the drones. "You had to count your blessings, Philip always said. He always said it when he was disappointed. It was how you knew he was disappointed." (p 216) People obsessed with their mobile phones: "it was like they were all on drugs, cumbersome like cattle, heads down, not seeing where they were going." (p 221) "Who sees the sparrow fall? Nobody. It just falls ... There's nobody there to see." (p 239) "This had come out of nowhere and it had no sound, just the muffled thump of May being hit by the dark. The difference was that she'd just gone headlong with her eyes wide open into it, that she'd done it to herself somehow, hit the dark." (p 245) "When someone shouts like that at you it is like a passenger-carrying hot air balloon filling with the hot air that's supposed to send it into the sky but instead it is being inflated dangerously fast inside a very small room so that its sides and top press against the walls and ceiling which means that either the walls and ceiling will have to give way or the balloon that is in your head will explode." (p 283) "The fact is, that at the top of any mountain you'll feel a bit dizzy because of the air up there. Cleverness is great. It's a really good thing, when you have it. But there's no point in just having it. You have to know how to use it. And when you know how to use your cleverness, it's not that you're the cleverest any more, or you are doing it to be cleverer than anyone else like it's a competition. No. Instead of being the cleverest, the thing to do is to become a cleverist." (p 345) The internet (an old woman calls it "the intimate") gets quite a lot of bashing. The gay protagonist admits "there's a certain charm to being able to look up and watch Eartha Kitt ... but the charm is a kind of deception about a whole new way of feeling lonely, a semblance of plenitude but really a new level of Dante's inferno, a zombie-filled cemetery of spurious clues, beauty, pathos, pain, the faces of puppies, women and men from all over the world tied up and wanked over in site after site, a great sea of hidden shallows. More and more, the pressing human dilemma: how to walk a clean path between obscenities." (p 159) The word but: "but the thing I particularly like about the word, but, now that I think about it, is that it always takes you off to the side, and where it takes you is always interesting." (p 175) She watches a young girl crossing a road by herself and "She thought of all the children, literally thousands of them, the same age as that child, crossing the world by themselves right now" (p 56) A gay man, innocently eavesdropping on a party of school children at the Greenwich Meridian, is noticed by a young boy who makes a comment to his mates. "But even well after the sniggering had died away the boy continued to hold the stare. In it there was a perfectly judged balance of rejection and invitation. The boy was an expert. He looked all of thirteen. He was far too young to be acting so knowing. Mark stilled a wild laugh in his chest." (p 101) "Wonder ... if we all have our names in there written ... on our foreheads, between the flesh and the bone." (p 158) "record is a word that means, in Latin, something which returns through the heart" (p 177) "That's what the babies did, after all, when they were born. They looked a look at the world as if they could see something that our own eyes couldn't, or had forgotten how to." (p 213) A brilliant introduction to a black child in which he skin colour is not mentioned when the protagonist first encounters her but which you can infer when they ring the doorbell of the house in which the protagonist assumes that the child's mother lives and the text reads: "But it was a white woman ... who answered the door." (p 13) Another brilliant piece of writing is when we are introduced to Jennifer "4.4.63, 29.1.79" and we immediately know that she has died. (p 215) I loved the way one of the dinner party guests assumed that the hostess (Gen) was called Jan and called her that in his thoughts until he discovered he was wrong. I loved the way the gay man's dead mother keeps intruding into his thoughts using couplets. "Some of the more hippy ones here, say it's because Milo attracts animals to him, like St Francis. But it's the cooking and the bin bags, I'd say." (p 190) What a wonderful book. December 2016; 356 pages Other brilliant books by Ali Smith include: The Accidental: a holidaying family is gatecrashed by a young woman How to Be Both which has two halves which can be read in either order (and some copies of the book are printed one way and some the other): one half has a teenage girl trying to cope with the death of her mother; the other half is the exuberant reflections of a renaissance artist who was a woman pretending to be a man. Artful which is both a ghost story and a meditation on art Autumn: a collage type work Winter, another collage type work which weaves the story of a Christmas Carol with Cymbeline and the Nativity and reflects on Britain following the Brexit referendum. Page numbers refer to the Penguin paperback Labels: fiction, modern fiction "The Thing Around Your Neck" by Chimamanda Ngozi Adiche This is a collection of short stories by the author of Half of a Yellow Sun, a novel about the Biafran conflict. Cell One starts with a brilliant hook: "The first time our house was robbed, it was our neighbour." Robberies perpetrated by the bored teenage sons of the staff in the University town escalate into gangs (called 'cults); gang strife escalates into murders. The narrator's brother Nnamabia, who has himself burgled his own parents and is handsome and spoiled rotten by his mother, gets picked up by the corrupt police for being on the streets after a curfew. So the family go to see him in jail. At first he enjoys the attention, despite the terrible conditions. But then an innocent old man is thrown into the cell with him. The old man is too poor to bribe the guards and gets bullied. And the boy wants to help the old man. This is a classic tale of a selfish young man redeemed when he witnesses suffering (it is the tale of the Buddha) told in 19 short pages. It benefits from the way in which exotic details such as corrupt police and appalling prison conditions are written as if they were entirely normal and to be expected. There are carefully crafted details, such as how Nnamabia hides his money in his anus by "rolling one-hundred-naira notes into thin cigarette shapes and then slipping a hand into the back of his trousers to slide them painfully into himself." and of the strange compound with no police station sign "with patches of overgrown grass, with old bottles and plastic bags and paper strewn everywhere" where "they kept people who would later disappear". These details are notable for their subtlety. In Imitation a Nigerian woman lives with her children and maid in "America, the abundance of unreasonable hope." She discovers that her husband, a businessman back in Lagos who earns big money but only sees her for 3 weeks at Christmas and 2 months in summer, has moved his latest girlfriend into her family home. This upsets her; she cuts her hair; she discusses the situation with the housemaid. And when he comes over to stay in America she tells him that she and the kids will be moving back to Lagos. In A Private Experience the narrator, a medical student, is with a poor onion seller, hiding in a store room from the riots outside. As the two women, from opposite sides of the religious divide over which the men outside are rioting, shelter together, the trainee doctor examines the cracked nipples of the five-time mother and advises on breast feeding and nipple care. But afterwards she never finds the sister she was in the market with. In Ghosts a retired university professor goes on to campus to chase up the payment of his pension (unpaid for three years, and yet he still has money and can but bananas for the poor men in the campus grounds). There he encounters a man he thought died when the university was taken over by the Federal troops during the Biafran war. This man had been a political firebrand and there was always "great disappointment upon seeing him, because the depth of his rhetoric somehow demanded good looks. But then, my people say that a famous animal does not always fill the hunter's basket." They discuss the Biafran war and their survival, the people they knew who dies and survived, skirting round possible shames at not having done enough in the war or somehow having betrayed someone or themselves: the guilt of the survivors of a defeat. At the start of the story, the ghost of the title seems to be this old man: "Today I saw Ikenna Okoro, a man I had long thought was dead. Perhaps I should have bent down, grabbed a handful of sand, and thrown it at him, in the way my people do to make sure a person is not a ghost." But towards the end of the story it becomes apparent that the ghost is that of the narrator's dead wife who visits him from time to time to massage him. "I often want to tell Nkiru [his daughter, living in America] that her mother visits weekly in the harmattan and less often during the rainy season, but if I do she will finally have reason to come here and bundle me back with her to America and I will be forced to live a life cushioned by so much convenience that it is sterile." In On Monday of Last Week Nigerian Kamara is working a child care for 4 year old Josh whose Jewish lawyer dad Neil spends long days at work and whose mother Tracy hides all day in the cellar doing something artistic. Then, on Monday of last week, Kamara, who has come to America to be with her husband, meets and instantly falls for African American Tracy. There is a lot of background about the neurotic parenting regime installed by Neil with its anxieties about child molesters and health drinks and allergies and reading challenges: "America parenting was a juggling of anxieties ... a sated belly gave Americans time to worry that their child might have a rare disease that they had just read about, made them think they had the right to protect their child from disappointment and want and failure. A sated belly gave Americans the luxury of praising themselves for being good parents, as if caring for one's child was the exception rather than the rule." But Kamara has a sadness. She waited six years to follow her husband to America and now she feels she does not know him anymore. She is bewildered. "She did not like her bed but did not want to get up from in in the morning." But she can't tell her best friend in Nigeria because that friend's husband has taken a new wife: "she could not complain about not having shoes when the person she was talking to had no legs." Jumping Monkey Hill explores a group of writers from all over Africa who have won a competition to attend a two week writing workshop at a posh South African hotel. It explores the diversity of Africa and the impossibility of ever having a single voice to speak for Africa. It also asks what a story is for. The leader of the workshop (who makes it obvious that he fancies the female narrator) criticises stories on political grounds: Africa isn't yet ready for gay fiction, a story about violence is urgent and political. The other writers criticise the great writers on Africa: no turn is left unstoned from Conrad to Achebe to Paton. The narrator's story is criticised for being unrealistic when it was utterly autobiographical. The Thing Around Your Neck is yet another take on the Nigerian woman who gets a visa to go to the USA. Akunna (addressed throughout as 'you' making this an unusual example of a story narrated in the second person) us sonsored by her uncle but when she arrives in Maine he tries to molest her so she runs away to Connecticut where she works as a waitress. She is very prickly about the expectations that other people have of her so 'he' (boyfriend material) is initially rebuffed, even though "his eyes were the color of extravirgin olive oil, a greenish gold." But he perseveres and gradually 'you' begin to understand 'his' strange culture: "You did not know that people could simply choose not to go to school, that people could dictate to life. You were used to accepting what life gave, writing down what life dictated." But slowly, even with his weird ideas, he becomes more and more acceptable to 'you' (I think he must have been an enormously patient man!). And he wants her but she flies back to Nigeria for her father's funeral and refuses to promise that she will come back. So for all that she accepts what life dictates, she won't accept the boy who so clearly loves her to get too close. She is standing in a 'line' outside The American Embassy, queuing for an asylum visa, two days after she has buried her son who was shot by the soldiers who came to arrest her journalist husband (who had already escaped in the boot of a car to Benin). She is angry with her husband for publishing the story criticising the regime. He was not brave, she thinks: "It was not courage, it was simply an exaggerated selfishness." This very simple story, mingling her memories of her son's death with the chatter of the other people in the queue, is perhaps one of the most powerful. The Shivering starts with a plane crash in Nigeria; Ukamaka, doing her dissertation in Princeton, fears her ex-boyfriend might have been on the flight; Chinedu knocks on her door, invites himself in and starts to pray with her. A friendship develops. He is Pentecostal and she Catholic. She can't stop talking and thinking about her ex-boyfriend even as she realises how horrible he was to her. This is a new take on the problem of evil: "If you say God is responsible for keeping Udenna safe, then it means God is responsible for the people who died, because God could have kept them safe, too. Does it mean God prefers some people to others? ...God always makes sense but not always a human kind of sense ... If God prefers some people to others, it doesn't make sense that it would be Udenna who would be spared. Udenna could not have been the nicest or kindest person who was booked on that flight ... You can't use human reasoning for God ... You have to stop thinking that God is a person. God is God." "Have faith is not really like saying be tall and shapely. It's more like saying be OK with the bulge and with having to wear Spanx." In The Arrangers of Marriage, Ofodile Udenwa has returned from the USA where he is a doctor called Dave Bell to marry by arrangement Chinaza. She returns with him and has to start learning how to be American, changing her name to Agatha Bell, using American words like busy for engaged and pitcher for jug, cooking American food and living in rooms that "lacked a sense of space, as though the walls had become unconfortable with each other, with so little between them." Tomorrow Is Too Far is about the guilt felt by the female narrator after her brother died. Although she was better than him, clever, better at climbing trees, he was idolised by the family to the extent that she doubted whether she was real. Survivor's guilt? Or something more sinister? The final story, The Headstrong Historian, is perhaps the weakest. It preaches rather than entertains. It is about how colonialism conquered Nigeria as experienced by a woman who took her son to be educated at the Catholic mission and her granddaughter who became a historian so that she could correct the distortions of the colonials. There seems to be a lot of anger in this book. The women are oppressed and the men oppressors. The white boyfriend of the title story seems all that a girl could desire but even he is not good enough for the untrusting narrator. African customs are good and Western customs are weird or positively bad. Surely it is Ofodile's choice if he wishes to change his name to Dave Bell and adopt different customs, even if the reason is simply that this will help him become richer. Clearly he shouldn't require his wife to change but it is his right to do so. Many of these stories seem to be predicated on the concept that people shouldn't change but poeple do and cultures evolve. My world is not the same as the world of my parents and while there are some things I regret, there are many things that I am glad there is a lot less of (racism and sexism being two very obvious ones which, if they haven't disappeared, are significantly less prevalent and certainly less sanctioned than they were when I was young. But the writing makes up for the bitterness. When she describes scenes and when she writes about human emotions, Chima is brilliant. Labels: Africa, fiction, short stories "Dynasty" by Tom Holland This is the story of the first Roman Emperors: Augustus, Tiberius, Caligula, Claudius and Nero. The First Chapter, The Children of the Wolf, sketches the early history of Rome from Romulus and Remus (did Remus freely offer his life as a sacrifice when Romulus was building Rome or was he murdered by his twin brother?), through the expulsion of the kings, through to the First Triumvirate of Julius Caesar, politician and brilliant general who enslaved all of Gaul and invaded Britain too, Pompey the Great, brilliant general whose quasi private armies built an empire in the middle east, and Crassus, fabulously wealthy banker and brilliant general whose defeat and death at the hands of the Parthians unbalanced the triumvirate into a civil war finally won by Caesar. And then comes a remarkable piece of writing in which Holland describes the pivotal events of 15th February 44BC, "a few days after Caesar's appointment as 'Dictator for Life'," (p 24) the feast of the Lupercal. "The date was a potent one, both joyous and haunted ... stalked by the dead, who had been known to mark the festival by rising from their graves and roaming the streets. ... In the mouth of the [Lupercal] cave, below the branches of the sacred fig tree, oiled men known as Luperci, naked save for a loincloth of goatskin, stood shivering in the winter breeze. Also maDe of goatskin were the thongs they held in their hands, and which women on the crowds below, many of them stripped to the waist, would invariably blush to see waved in their direction. Naturally, it took a certain physique to carry off a loincloth - and especially so in February." (pp 24 - 25) Even so, Marc Antony, a forty year old magistrate, had joined the Luperci. The Luperci ran through the streets, whipping the half-naked women with their thongs "on a day when the human mingled with the wolvish, the carnal with the supernatural" (p 26). And when Antony runs down the Forum to the Rostrum he encounters Caesar on a golden throne "dressed in the ancient costume of the city's kings: purple toga and calf-length boots in fetching red leather." (p 26) Antony then presents Caesar with a laurel diadem. "A few desultory rounds of applause greeted the gesture. Otherwise all was leaden silence. Then Caesar, after a pause, pushed the diadem away - and the Forum echoed to tremendous cheering ... And so the experiment failed." (p 27) And one month later, Brutus, descendant of the Brutus who had chased Rome's last king from the city, led the assassination of Caesar. "And wolves, in lofty cities, made the nights echo with their howls." (p 28)Tremendous writing: political theatre mingled with sex and superstition: can you get a more potent mix? Chapter Two is entitled Back to the Future. We learn about the chaos of civil war following the assassination of Caesar: first between the new triumvirate of wealthy nigh priest Lepidus, Marc Antony and youthful nobody (but Caesar's heir) Octavian; next when the triumvirs fell out. Aristocratic Livia was wife to Tiberius Nero who aligned himself with Antony in an Italian revolt against Octavian: soon the young couple with their baby Tiberius were fleeing, first to Sicily, next to Greece "before being forced on the run again. As they made their escape through a forest, a fire broke out. Livia's dress was left charred. Even her hair was singed." (p 45). Months later she was shagging Octavian and a divorce was quickly arranged. Tiberius Nero, exchanging an unfaithful wife for a pardon for rebellion, "gave his former wife away" at the wedding! (p 46) The soldiers who had fought for Octavian were now rewarded with land confiscated from enemies or non-combatants (shades of Zimbabwe). This was in towns outside Roman that had once been her neighbours, then her possessions and were coming to be co-cities of the Republic even though the peoples were sometimes primitive, such as the Marsians "whose singing could make snakes explode." But the land confiscations and continuing piracy brought famine to Rome, threatening the regime to the extent that when the bodies of those killed in riots were slung into the Tiber "gangs of desperate thieves waded out and stripped them bare ... Nothing was left them save to scavenge corpses." Despite the rumours about the sexual promiscuity of Octavian (now renamed Augustus) himself, Roman citizens were expected to control themselves. "Unchecked sexual appetites, while only to be expected in a woman - or, of course, a Greek - were hardly appropriate to a citizen ... No man could be reckoned truly a man who was the slave of his own desires. Playboys who chased after married women were well known to be womanish themselves. The Princeps, it was whispered, smoothed his legs by singeing off their hairs with red-hot nut shells." (p 100) Ovid, the poet, on the other hand was a young man who enjoyed sex "When Ovid strolled up to Apollo's temple ... it was not to admire the architecture. He was scoping out girls." (p 105) After all, the phallus was "everywhere to be seen" and "much admired. A generously endowed man hitting the bath-house might well be greeted with 'a round of nervous applause'." (p 106) But sex was for men and whores. Cuckolding another citizen carried ferocious penalties: death for the woman and death or castration for the man. "For a man to shave his armpits was ... simply good manners but to .... depilate the legs was disgusting, plain and simple. Body hair was the mark of a man." (p 108) The feast of Liber, however, allowed sexual license. "Everybody slept with everybody else" (p 112) although Julia, daughter to Augustus and wife to his consigliere Agrippa, when asked how her sons looked so much like their father joked "because I only ever take on passengers after the cargo-hold has been loaded." (p 122). One of the keys to the success of Augustus was that he mapped out the poor districts of Rome, focusing his attention on the cross-roads, where he organised the local authorities, including the Vigiles "crack squads of firefighters ... mandated to police the streets as well as to put out conflagrations." (p 140). Chapter 4 is about Tiberius, a very interesting character. A successful general and the step-son of Augustus, Tiberius was an organiser, an administrator, a thorough and painstaking man, with very little charisma, a highly aristocratic attitude and a dislike of the mob. Protesting not to want to be Emperor he nevertheless managed to rule by terror which included starving to death several members of his own family. When he retired to Capri he took many aristocratic children as hostages. They were then used as performers in pornographic stage shows and "obliged to pose as prostitutes, to hawk for business like the lowest class of sex worker, to perform sometimes three or four at a time". (p 253) Chapter 5 is about Caligula, who grew up at his uncles pornographic court on Capri. Caligula was his nickname because as a toddler he became the idol and the mascot of the military camp which his dad, Germanicus, was in charge of. Utterly unlike the austere Tiberius, Caligula staged games and shows and courted the popularity of the masses; at the same time he terrorised the Senate. "What Capri had been to Tiberius, the whole of Rome was now to his heir: a theatre of cruelty and excess" (p 287) He killed and tortured, he tormented parents by making them view the death of one of their children and then kept them subservient because they had other children, he brought Capri to the Palatine Hill and made the aristocratic women and children hostages have sex with paying plebs. But he tormented one member of his guard too far and the man assassinated him. The pendulum swung, as they do, and Chapter 6 (Io Saturnalia) is about Caligula's elderly uncle Claudius, previously passed over in the succession because he was lame and dribbly and altogether ill-fitting the Roman ideal of manhood. He understood the coup that had led to his succession and his first actions was to award massive bonuses to the Praetorian Guard, He then developed a sort of meritocracy in which powerful positions were given to men who had started out life as slaves, or the sons of slaves, such as Callistus, whose name meant 'Gorgeous'. Clearly, following the humiliations heaped on it by Caligula, the Senate's traditional exclusivity and rights were to be further eroded. "Everything we now believe to be the essence of tradition ... was a novelty once" (p 371 quoting Tacitus quoting Claudius) For example, despite the law saying that only slaves could be tortured, in the aftermath of a conspiracy against Claudius he employed torturers ("specialists skilled in the art of extracting information tended to be found among private firms of undertakers", p 311) against free men. Claudius needed to boost his macho and virile image and launched campaigns against the Moors (who were renowned for "their high standards of dental hygiene" and "tribes so unspeakably savage that they ate flesh raw and thought nothing of drinking milk"); having conquered the Atlas Mountains their general Suetonius Paulinus was then sent to conquer Britain who "were, if anything, even more barbarous than the Germans. They painted themselves blue; they held their wives in common; they wore hair on the upper lip, an affectation so grotesque that Latin did not have a word for it." (p 315). When Nero took over, probably by poisoning Claudius having been made his heir and still too young to shave, he was ruled by his mother Agrippina. "Bitter and humiliated, Nero vented his fury in the readiest way available, by repeatedly sodomising his stepbrother. Rape was, of course, the most physically brutal means a Roman had of asserting his dominance over a rival." Shortly afterwards Britannicus, Nero's stepbrother and heir, choked to death at a feast. Nero and his tutor Seneca were in charge of the world. "Seated as he was at the heart of the great web of Roman power, he only had to tug upon a single thread of it for villages at the far end of the world to be trampled down by soldiers, and women left bruised and bleeding." (p 368) Rome was becoming a cosmopolitan city. This in itself engendered dislike of immigrants. As then, now. "Meanwhile ... in the teeming streets of a city whose population now numbered well over a million, many had begun to wonder what precisely it meant to talk of the Roman people. Rome ... had been founded on immigration. Exotic languages had been heard in the city for centuries. ... Yet even as many Romans saw in their city's diversity the homage paid by the world to its greatness, and a potent source of renewal, so others were less convinced. All very well to host immigrants, so long as they ended up Roman; but what if they preserved their barbarous ways, infecting decent citizens with their superstitions? ... A sobering reflection, to be sure: that to serve as the capital of the world might render Rome less Roman." (p 372) As well as all this, this book has some great side issues: "Whether in his worsening health, in the person of a decrepit and toothless porter whom he had last seen as a handsome slaveboy, or in a clump of gnarled plane trees planted by his own hand in hoe youth, he found marks of decay everywhere." (p 379) "Everyone knew that people only ever suffered poverty because they deserved it." (p 324) The Praetorian Guard was named because it was the unit of a praetor, a commander. A legionary swore a sacred oath called the sacramentum. What have the Germans ever done for the Romans? The introduced Rome to "a curious concoction fashioned out of goat lard and ashes named 'soap' ... the miraculous product could give a hint of gold to even the dullest locks" although used to excess it might make you go bald. "Stepmothers in Rome were widely presumed to be malignant." (p 171) "It is in the nature of kings that they will hold good men in more suspicion than the bad, and dread the talents of others." (p 6; quoting Sallust The Conspiracy of Catiline) "Who ... could rival the Greeks when it came to the shaping of bronze or marble, the mapping of the stars or the penning of sex manuals?" (p 5) Beautifully written by the man who has also written Rubicon (the prequel to this book, about Julius Caesar), Persian Fire (Darius the Mede and his mates), Millennium (about the year 1000) and In the Shadow of the Sword (an exploration of the origins of Islam). December 2016; 419 pages Labels: ancient Roman, ancient world, Augustus, Caligula, classical world, Claudius, history, Nero, Roman Empire, Rome, Tiberius "Eugenie Grandet" by Honore de Balzac Eugenie's dad, old Grandet, is the richest man in town. Starting as a cooper he buys vineyards and land and soon moves into investing and money-lending. Despite his great wealth he always tells people he is poor and he runs his household on the stingiest possible lines. Two families in town are competing to marry a son off to just-come-of-age Eugenie because of the fortune she will inherit. So when Charles arrives, handsome if foppish son of old Grandet's brother, a wealthy banker in Paris, all plans are thrown into disarray. Charles cannot conceive of the poverty stricken life his relations lead, that the cook has to plead with the master for extra bread to feed him, for sugar for his coffee, for butter and for eggs for breakfast. And the letter that comes to Grandet tells of his brother's bankruptcy and suicide. Grandet schemes to get rid of Charles and to get round the shame of a Grandet going bankrupt using his usual sharp practices. But Eugenie has fallen in love with Charles ... Balzac is a sort of French Dickens who, despite living between 1799 and 1850, wrote a vast number of books in a Dickensian style, mixing brilliantly realistic descriptions with over-sentimentalised but multi-layered and quite complex characterisations; essentially plot-driven. "suitability to its purpose is necessary to all things." "God will know his angels by the tones of their voices and the sadness hidden in their hearts." "in the spirit of a conscientious writer reading his work through, criticizing it and saying hard things about it to himself" "Don't we all live on the dead? Where else do legacies come from?" "he has taken all they had and left them only their eyes to cry with." "he rubbed his hands together briskly enough to have rubbed the skin off, if his epidermis had not resembled Russian leather in everything but its scent of larch bark and incense." "Hunger brings to wolf from the wood" "minds, like certain animals, lose their fertility when taken from their native clime." "There had been a grain of gold in his heart ... but Parisian society had drawn it out to wire and beaten it to gilding, placed all on the surface where it must soon rub off."

Industrialisation, water distribution, electrification, automation and communications are all engineering revolutions that have transformed our world and changed every detail of our lives. However, for every future built, there are man-made mistakes that cause catastrophic disasters. Icarus-like moments when our overreaching, greed and desire to conquer the impossible don’t just cost reputations, but millions of dollars, environmental damage and lives. Chernobyl, Bhopal, Deepwater Horizon, The Titanic, Challenger and The Hindenburg are names not remembered for the great feats of engineering they initially were, but for the horrors that they became. Through extensive archive and expert interviews this series explores the stories behind mankind’s greatest engineering disasters. How and why they happened and what we have learnt from them. Disasters teach us more than successes, every set back offers an opportunity to move forward and innovate, because the greatest tragedy would be to never strive at all.	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0096.json.gz/line104

The four Wisconsin capitols, pp. [41]-52 PDF (4.0 MB) THE FOUR WISCONSIN CAPITOLS By JOHN G. D. MACK Wisconsin territory was created by act of congress April 20, 1836, including under this act the area of the states of Wisconsin, Minne- sota, Iowa and the portion of the two Dakotas east of the Missouri river and its northern tributary, the White Earth river, this latter being in the northwestern corner of North Dakota. It was then known that the territory would be reduced in size at a later date. The temporary seat of the territorial government was established at Belmont, a village built for the occasion with the possible hope that it might become the capital city of the future state, a hope which was soon shattered. Belmont was located in what is now Lafayette county between Platt and Belmont Mounds, landmarks visible for twenty-five miles in every direction. The site of the village is about five and one-half miles northeast of Platteville, about one-fourth mile from the present C. & N. W. railway station Leslie. The First Capitol In anticipation of the coming of the legislature, a frame building had been erected by James Atchison from whom it was rented for the use of the legislature. This building was a two-story structure with a battlement front, twenty-five by forty feet in dimensions. The timber for the building was purchased in Pittsburgh and brought down the Ohio river and up the Mississippi by steamboat and landed at Galena from whence it was hauled thirty miles to Belmont. The interior was lathed with split oak and plastered, making a very substantial frame building for the time. The territorial legislature met in this building in a forty-six day session between October 25 and December 9, 1836. A long struggle took place during this session in both the council and house of repre- sentatives in fixing the location of the future capital city, the follow- ing locations being proposed in various motions to replace Madison which was named in the bill: Fond du Lac, DuBuque, Portage, Helena, Milwaukee, Racine, Belmont, Mineral Point, Platteville, Astor, Cass- ville, Belleview, Koshkonong, Wisconsinapolis, Peru, Wisconsin City, Burlington, City of the Four Lakes, Osceola, Prairie du Chien. Madison was finally selected, probably through the efforts of Judge James Duane Doty, later governor, who had had a survey made of the present site of Madison in anticipation of its being made the capital city. Judge Doty also had surveys of Wisconsinapolis and the City of the Four Lakes, being part owner of these sites as well as of the Madison site.	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0096.json.gz/line113

FEELS are one of them. On paper, there’s nothing especially new about their sound; melodic guitars and playful vocals are at the forefront, with a sensibility that lands neatly between pop and punk. In reality, though, the Los Angeles outfit carry it off with gripping energy and infectiousness. It helps, too, that lyrically, this second record is flecked with their own idiosyncrasies; ‘Post Earth’ is an album that strives for balance in a turbulent political climate and still finds room to shoehorn in nods to The Simpsons. There’s points at which the bouncier, hookier material comes to the fore, tracks like opener ‘Car’ or ‘Find a Way’, which with their sleek edges and shape guitar work recall Bleached’s ‘Welcome the Worms’, or the more polished side of Sleater-Kinney - think ‘All Hands on the Bad One’ or ‘One Beat’. Where ‘Post Earth’ really soars, though, is at its more ambitious points. The quietly epic ‘Sour’ plays like ‘Daydream Nation’-era Sonic Youth, all breathy, stream-of-consciousness vocals and interlocking distorted guitars, whilst the title track veers in thrillingly mercurial fashion between grungy distortion and upbeat riffery. FEELS take their cues from familiar sources but it’s less about where they come from and more about what they do with them - in the case of ‘Post Earth’, they’ve crafted a terrific out-and-out rock record.

VIY are working in seven schools in the D2N2 LEP area with over 250 students from years 8-10 taking part in the three month programme. The programme has been going really well and the feedback from schools and young people is so positive VIY is returning to three of the same schools again for repeat programmes! VIY have capacity to work in more schools. Ideally, they are looking for three or four more schools to reach their target. Currently they are mainly focused in Derby and Derbyshire schools and they are keen to extend this to reach to a couple of schools across Nottingham and Nottinghamshire.

Take a look on the website for more details Just what do "Meaningful Encounters" mean? So many schools, enterprise advisers and enterprise coordinators have asked this question so we asked the Careers and Enterprise Company Regional Lead, Abdul Bathin for some clarity. Reciting text from the Gatsby Foundation the following is the answer to a much asked question. "Every pupil should have multiple opportunities to learn from employers about work, employment and the skills that are valued in the workplace. This can be through a range of enrichment activities including visiting speakers, mentoring and enterprise schemes. Every year, from the age of 11, pupils should participate in at least one meaningful encounter* with an employer. A ‘meaningful encounter' is one in which the student has an opportunity to learn about what work is like or what it takes to be successful in the workplace."

Young Professionals have recently launched a brand new tool available to all students across the UK that are looking for either an apprenticeship, training or a graduate role. Dan Miller, CEO, said "Being 19 myself and having recently left school, I felt the opportunities that were out there for our generation were not greatly publicised and it was actually quite hard to figure out what was the best path to take." "Utilising the latest technology, we have built and launched an employer resource platform and mobile application that is disrupting the traditional apprenticeship and graduate recruitment by allowing students to profile themselves to employers along with watching employer videos, viewing their company profiles and seeing all of the entry level roles you have to offer them." The Young Professionals App also opens channels of direct communication with employee or trainee prospects. Students can upload their resumes, create a 'live' video profile to see a little more of their personality and communication skills, they can learn more about your vacancies and your company profile, they can apply, you can short list, respond, arrange interviews and communicate directly with them.

__label__cc	0.740266	0.259734	Maze Racers: Building a Labyrinth by Sean J. \| published Tuesday, May 10, 2016 Maze Racers is an interesting concept for a game…really it’s more of a toy than a game, but a toy that makes you think in a very strategic and creative way. The main idea is that both players will get a magnetic board broken up into four different quadrants. Using the 76 magnetic maze walls of their own colour, players will race to construct a labyrinth for their opponents to solve. The maze walls come in a variety of shapes and sizes and it’s up to the creativity of the player how difficult they make the maze. Once they’re ready players swap their mazes and race a little ball through them. The first person to complete their opponent’s maze wins the round. Win two out of three rounds for the victory. At the beginning of the game players agree what quadrant the maze must begin and end in. Other than that the make up of the maze can be as creative as you want. The construction can take as long as the players need, but as soon as one person is satisfied with their job, they shout out “Ready to Race” and turn over the timer. That leaves their opponent with only a minute to complete their maze. Whatever pitfalls you put in place for your maze, there must be a path to complete it. There cannot be a choke point or dead end where the ball can’t pass through. Included in the game are wooden spacers to measure out the path and ensure that there is adequate enough space for the ball to pass through. Good thing too, because if your maze is ever deemed impassable you lose immediately. There are a few variants included such as team play and fixed time for the construction phase. You can also visit FoxMind’s website for advanced play rules. There you can download a set out cards that can be drawn randomly at the start of each round. The cards depict a predetermined element that each maze must contain. From that starting point the construction can evolve however players want. Maze Racers doesn’t feel like a board game in the traditional sense. It has more in common with dexterity games than anything else, but its free flowing rules don’t adhere to the idea of a general tabletop game. Not that it’s a bad thing in any way. It’s actually pretty neat to see a product like this on the market. Somewhere in between a tradition board game and a toy. I think it’s a perfect game to get kids thinking creatively and making them familiar with things like spacial reasoning. It might the perfect fit to get your kids into a gaming mindset. I’ve played it a bunch of times and it’s quite fun to challenge your friends to a duel of wits of sorts. Definitely give it a shot if you are looking for a two-player game that will challenge your perception and creativity. Maze Racers will get you thinking outside the box.

(1:48) Josina Anderson, Damien Woody and Mike Tannenbaum react to Roger Goodell questioning the necessity of four preseason games. (1:48) Kevin SeifertESPN Staff Writer ESPN.com national NFL writer ESPN.com NFC North reporter, 2008-2013 Covered Vikings for Minneapolis Star Tribune, 1999-2008 The NFL preseason is trash. Fortunately, league decision-makers know it. Better yet, they have reached a point where they can realistically do something about it. The 2021 expiration of the collective bargaining agreement with players provides a natural moment to restructure the traditional, four-week preseason template. Whether it shrinks by one or two games per team likely depends on the alternative revenue source -- an expanded regular season and/or playoffs, for example -- that players agree to. NFL Preseason Scores and News • Full schedule: All 16 games » • Transaction tracker: Top news » • How to shorten the preseason » But make no mistake. As teams increasingly sideline their key players from preseason games, there has never been a bigger appetite and ambition to scale back the structure. And it could happen as soon as next summer if owners and players agree to a new CBA before then. "The reality is that the preseason is changing pretty rapidly," said Green Bay Packers president/CEO Mark Murphy, a member of the NFL's competition committee and its management council executive committee, which handles some CBA negotiations. "The quality is not good, and it's changing for the worse in terms of the quality of games. Even if you went to two [per team], I still think with the salaries that we're paying, that people will be just reluctant to expose players to injuries. So you would have to figure out how much preseason you need to develop and evaluate young players. Veterans just don't need it." Prayers up for all the boys competing in the pre season games that don't count. Every year guys get ruined playing these games. And you don't need them. — Mike Mitchell (@iammikemitchell) August 8, 2019 There was a time, not too long ago, when most coaches followed a traditional preseason routine. Starters played a few series in the first week, followed by a gradual increase through the third week before largely sitting out the fourth. But preseason-game injuries have spooked most coaches, and some of the most successful teams in 2018 were those who rested many of their key players for most or all of the preseason, including the NFC champion Los Angeles Rams. Another one of them was the Chicago Bears, who did so despite the arrival of coach Matt Nagy and a new offensive system. The 2018 Bears played in the Hall of Fame game, giving them a total of five preseason weeks, but Nagy sat quarterback Mitchell Trubisky and others for three of them. Trubisky played a total of six preseason series and went on to lead the Bears to an NFC North Division title. This summer, Nagy indicated that if anything, he'll be even more conservative with veteran players. "We know what our starters can do," he said. "That's just my view. The preseason is good for first-year coaches because it's good to just go through the logistics of game day with everyone. That part is good. The rest ..." Goodell: Four preseason games not necessary Preseason trial and error: How NFL coaches will manipulate pass interference review Who is betting on preseason football? It's fair to ask why the NFL has taken so long to address the shortcomings of the preseason. The answer lies not in the increasing disinterest of coaches, but instead in something familiar to any business: money. Preseason games are included in NFL season-ticket packages, meaning that most of the games are sellouts or near-sellouts even if the stadiums are half-filled or worse. About five years ago, many teams began lowering the prices of preseason tickets. That made the experience less expensive for those who attended on single-game tickets. But in most cases, the teams compensated for the decrease within the season-ticket package by increasing prices of certain regular-season games. But a reduction of preseason games would lower each team's revenue. Most opportunities to recapture it in other ways require approval from the NFL Players Association. The CBA expires after the 2020 season, but early negotiations have sparked informed speculation that the time has arrived to address the preseason. Shifting games from the preseason to the regular season has captured much of the public's attention. But there is far from unanimous consent among owners to expand the regular season, per multiple sources, and a more palatable offset could be increasing the postseason field. The NFL did most of the legwork in 2014 on that issue, compiling a tentative plan to expand the field from 12 to 14 teams. If enacted, that plan would eliminate the first-round bye for the No. 2 seed and create two additional wild-card games. Commissioner Roger Goodell spoke publicly about it in definitive terms, and it appeared set for the 2015 season. Then the proposal disappeared from the league's agenda, perhaps reserved as a bargaining chip for CBA negotiations. Fantasy Draft Content Expanded Fantasy Cheat Sheet Bowen: Eight preferred picks Karabell: RB tiers \| WR tiers Schefter: Value picks and sleepers Clay: My draft board \| 13 breakouts Some around the league believe that two extra postseason games would make up for one full week of lost preseason revenue, given the lucrative value of playoff television and streaming rights, as well as the reduction in costs associated with preseason travel and stadium operation. The NFLPA might also prefer exposing two teams' worth of players to one extra playoff game, compared to asking all of them to play one or more additional regular-season games. Assuming the NFL can make the numbers work, the logistical concerns of a shorter preseason seem much less pressing than they once were. League restrictions on offseason work and contact have combined with a surprising wave of new approaches from coaches to create season prep that barely resembles traditional training camps. "You absolutely don't need four preseason games," San Francisco 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan said. "I'd rather have zero than four. Preferably, I'd like to have one to evaluate the people who are trying to make the team and just one to knock a little rust off." Packers coach Matt LaFleur, meanwhile, has prohibited all tackling during training camp practices, even in full pads. He is not alone. When it's time to get physical, many coaches prefer the controlled environments of joint practices with another team -- when they can adjust the physicality levels -- over the unchecked intensity of game action. "There is some value to preseason games, especially when you're talking about Year 1 of a new system," LaFleur said. "But the bottom line is, to me, there are only a few objectives in the preseason, and No. 1 is that you want to come out of the preseason healthy. Peyton's Places To celebrate 100 years of pro football, Peyton Manning travels the country to see the people and places that made the NFL the NFL. Watch on ESPN+ » More » "At the same time, you do need to get these guys ready for the regular season, and you want them confident in what they're doing. But you need your guys healthy. In this league, the margin for victory is so small. You need your guys on the field [in games that count]." Indeed, there are few coaches fretting a reduction in the preseason. Goodell said earlier this summer that after speaking with many of them, it seemed clear that four preseason games are no longer needed. Even old-school tacticians such as the Minnesota Vikings' Mike Zimmer said he was unconcerned as long as the time allotted for training camp remains the same. "However it ends up," Zimmer said, "we'd have to adjust and I won't worry about it." Some general managers and scouts might be worried by the loss of preseason opportunities to develop and evaluate young players. But those players already are getting more reps than ever as coaches sideline their veterans. Plus, the sudden infusion of new leagues -- The Spring League is headed into its fourth year of operation and the XFL will debut in February 2020 -- provide a reasonable developmental structure. Regardless, the potential benefits of a four-week NFL preseason are increasingly outweighed by the poor quality of games and newer thinking about how to prepare for the regular season. The NFL doesn't need four weeks of the preseason. It doesn't want four weeks of the preseason. And finally, it now has a realistic path for addressing it.	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0096.json.gz/line132

Jenny Uglow, in “Beauty in Ingenuity: The Art of Science”, leads readers through “The Art of Innovation: From Enlightenment to Dark Matter” exhibit on view at London’s Science Museum through January 26, 2020. … Across the room, the quest for new materials continues, with a wafting terylene dress from 1941, and a screening of the exuberant 1951 Ealing comedy The Man in the White Suit, with Alec Guinness as the naïve inventor of an indestructible textile fleeing from angry industrialists and workers, saved only when his magic material disintegrates around him. There’s a lot of fun, as well as science, in this show—and some joyous artistic accidents, like David Hockney’s encounter with a polaroid camera, which he used for the dazzling grid of Sun on the Pool, Los Angeles (1982). “Drawing with a camera,” he called it. In the next section, “Human Machines,” the note of fear enters fully with the trauma of mechanized carnage in World War I. A case holds pioneering artificial limbs from the 1920s, and in Otto Dix’s Card Players (1920), three disfigured soldiers sit round a table, their torn limbs and missing jaws replaced by fantastical prosthetics. The destructive technology of warfare and the constructive skill of limb-makers have turned Dix’s men into monsters. Have they, perhaps, become machines themselves?… (2) KGB. Ellen Datlow has posted photos from the November 20 Fantastic Fiction at KGB event where David Mack and Max Gladstone read from their novels, entertaining a full house. (3) TOOLBOX 2020. Applications for Taos Toolbox will be taken beginning December 1. The two-week Master Class in Science Fiction and Fantasy will be taught by Walter Jon Williams and Nancy Kress, with special guest George R.R. Martin and special lecturer E.M. Tippetts. The class runs June 7-20, 2020. The Terran Award full attending Scholarship is available again this year, sponsored by George R.R. Martin, to bring an aspiring SF writer from a non-English-speaking country to the Taos Toolbox. The award covers all tuition and fees to the Toolbox (but not meals or travel). Applicants will need to speak and write in English, but must be from from a country where English is not the primary language. WJW and the Toolbox staff will select the winner. (4) SHELF SHRINKAGE. Brenda Clough tells how she downsized in “Curating the Bookshelves” at Book View Café. Seven years ago, my house had 20 floor-to-ceiling bookcases, and about the same number of half-sized bookcases — about 5000 books, excluding the comics. The house was essentially full of books and comic books. Today I have ten tall bookcases, and a couple short ones. What follows is the road map from here to there — halving the number of books in my life. I have been hearing of many friends having to smallify their space, and maybe this will help!… (5) ROAR OF THE GREASEPAINT.

It however is considered just bad at Rotten Tomatoes with a 23% rating. November 24, 1985 — Ewoks: The Battle for Endor premieredon ABC. Starring Wilford Brimley, Warwick Davis, Aubree Miller, Paul Gleason and Carel Struycken, the critics found it mostly harmless. It holds a 51% rating at Rotten Tomatoes. (7) TODAY’S BIRTHDAYS. [Compiled by Cat Eldridge.] Born November 24, 1882 — E. R. Eddison. Writer whose most well-known work by far is The Worm Ouroboros. It’s slightly connected to his much lesser known later Zimiamvian Trilogy. I’m reasonably that sure I’ve read The Worm Ouroboros but way too long ago to remember anything about it. Silverberg in the Millenium Fantasy Masterworks Series edition of this novel said he considered it to be “the greatest high fantasy of them all”. (Died 1945.) Born November 24, 1907 — Evangeline Walton. Her best-known work, the Mabinogion tetralogy, was written during the late 1930s and early 1940s, and her Theseus trilogy was produced during the late 1940s. It’s worth stressing Walton is best known for her four novels retelling the Welsh Mabinogi. She published her first volume in 1936 under the publisher’s title of The Virgin and the Swine which is inarguably a terrible title. Although receiving glowing praise from John Cowper Powys, the book sold quite awfully and none of the other novels in the series were published at that time. Granted a second chance by Ballantine’s Adult Fantasy series in 1970, it was reissued with a much better title of The Island of the Mighty. The other three volumes followed quickly. Witch House is an occult horror story set in New England and She Walks in Darkness which came out on Tachyon Press is genre as well. I think that is the extent of her genre work but I’d be delighted to be corrected. She has won a number of Awards including the Mythopoeic Award for Adult Literature, Best Novel along with The Fritz Leiber Fantasy Award, World Fantasy Award, Convention Award and the World Fantasy Award for Life Achievement. (Died 1996.) Born November 24, 1916 — Forrest J. Ackerman. It’s no wonder that he got a a Hugo forfor #1 Fan Personality in 1953 and equally telling that when he was handed the trophy at Philcon II (by Asimov), he physically declined saying it should go to Ken Slater to whom the trophy was later given by the con committee. That’s a nice summation of him. You want more? As a literary agent, he represented some two hundred writers, and he served as agent of record for many long-lost authors, thereby allowing their work to be reprinted. Hell. he represented Ed Wood! He was a prolific writer, more than fifty stories to his credit, and he named Vampirella and wrote the origin story for her. Speaking of things pulp which she assuredly is, He appeared in several hundred films which I’ll not list here and even wrote lesbian erotica. Eclectic doesn’t begin to describe him. His non-fiction writings are wonderful as well. I’ll just single out Forrest J Ackerman’s Worlds of Science Fiction, A Reference Guide to American Science Fiction Films and a work he did with Brad Linaweaver, Worlds of Tomorrow: The Amazing Universe of Science Fiction Art. Did I mention he collected everything? Well he did. Just one location of his collection contained some three hundred thousand books, film, SF material objects and writings. The other was eighteen rooms in extent. Damn if anyone needed their own TARDIS, it was him. In his later years, he was a board member of the Seattle Science Fiction Museum and Hall of Fame who now have possession of many items of his collection. (Died 2008.) Born November 24, 1948 — Spider Robinson, 71. His first story, “The Guy with the Eyes,” was published in Analog (February 1973). It was set in a bar called Callahan’s Place, a setting for much of his later fiction. His first published novel, Telempath in 1976 was an expansion of his Hugo award-winning novella “By Any Other Name”. The Stardance trilogywas co-written with his wife Jeanne Robinson. In 2004, he began working on a seven-page 1955 novel outline by the late Heinlein to expand it into a novel. The resulting novel would be called Variable Star. Who’s read it? Oh, he’s certainly won Awards. More than can be comfortably listed here. Born November 24, 1957 — Denise Crosby, 62. Tasha Yar on Next Gen who got a meaningful death in “Yesterday’s Enterprise”. In other genre work, she was on The X-Files as a doctor who examined Agent Scully’s baby. And I really like it that she was in two Pink Panther films, Trail of the Pink Panther and Curse of the Pink Panther, as Denise, Bruno’s Moll. And she’s yet another Trek performer who’s done what I call Trek video fanfic. She’s Dr. Jenna Yar in “Blood and Fire: Part 2”, an episode of the only season of Star Trek: New Voyages. Born November 24, 1957 — John Zakour, 62. For sheer pulp pleasure, I wholeheartedly recommend his Zachary Nixon Johnson PI series which he co-wrote with Larry Ganem. Popcorn reading at its very best. It’s the only series of his I’ve read, anyone else read his other books? Born November 24, 1957 — Jeff Noon, 62. Novelist and playwright. Prior to his relocation in 2000 to Brighton, his stories reflected in some way his native though not birth city of Manchester. The Vurt sequence is a very odd riff off Alice in Wonderland that Noon describes as a sequel to those works. Born November 24, 1965 — Shirley Henderson, 54. She was Moaning Myrtle in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets and Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. She was Ursula Blake in “ Love & Monsters!”, a Tenth Doctor story, and played Susannah in Tristram Shandy: A Cock and Bull Story, a film that’s if because of the metanarrative aspect.

If you don’t, you can look it up here. Or it’s a good occasion to consult A Wealth of Fable (H. Warner, Jr., rev. 1992; see here).

Abigail Nussbaum starts in the Guardian — “The Rosewater Redemption by Tade Thompson review – stunning conclusion” – and finishes in a post at her blog Asking the Wrong Questions. Since I have more space (and fewer limitations on things like spoilers) on my own blog, I’d like to elaborate a little on the review, and particularly the sense I got that the Wormwood trilogy changed as it expanded from a standalone to a series. When I first read Rosewater (and even more so when I reread it last month, in preparation for writing this review) I was struck by how clearly it belonged to the subgenre of “zone” science fiction. Originating with the Strugatsky brothers’ 1972 novel Roadside Picnic (and the 1979 Tarkovsky film, Stalker, inspired by it), “zone” novels imagine that some segment of normal space has erupted into strangeness, a zone where the normal rules of physics, biology, and causality no longer apply, and whose residents–or anyone who wanders in–are irretrievably altered in some fundamental way. The zone also represents a disruption to existing power structures, and the plots of zone novels often revolve around characters who have been dispatched by the state to infiltrate the zone in an attempt to control or at least understand it–an effort that is doomed to failure. Recent examples of zone novels include Jeff VanderMeer’s Area X trilogy and M. John Harrison’s Kefahuchi Tract trilogy (and particularly the middle volume, Nova Swing). I’ve even seen a persuasive argument that the HBO miniseries Chernobyl can be read as zone science fiction, because of its unreal, heightened depiction of the region around the exploded reactor, and because the effects that the unseen radiation it spews have on people, animals, and plant life in the surrounding areas track so closely with the subgenre’s central trope of cellular-level change. (12) CRYSTAL CLEAR. Nussbaum also dives deep beneath the ice in “Make the Next Wrong Choice – Some Spoilery Frozen II Thoughts” on Tumblr. I saw Frozen II last night. It’s an OK movie – I didn’t love the first one very much, but I do appreciate the attempt to expand the story into a broader fantasy epic (even if it seems to borrow shamelessly from Avatar: The Last Airbender with barely even a fraction of that show’s skill at constructing plot and themes). But I’ve been thinking about the film’s handling of the theme of ancestral wrongs and making reparations for them, and the more I do the angrier I get, so here are some spoilery observations. (13) NO THANKS. I was wrong – better for CNN to run more impeachment coverage than this news: “Pringles unveils turducken-flavored chips for an even crispier Thanksgiving feast”. Pringles has unveiled a seasonal food-flavored chip feast, and it’s poised to replace the whole Thanksgiving spread. Two words: Turducken. Pringles. No, no, it isn’t a chicken chip stuffed inside of a duck chip crammed inside of a turkey chip. There are three individual flavors, so it’s up to the snacker to determine the order. (14) ORIGIN STORY. “Copy of First Marvel Comic Ever Made Sells for a Record $1.26M: ‘This Is the Granddaddy'” – Yahoo! Entertainment has the story. An extremely rare and nearly perfect copy of the first comic book to feature the now-iconic “Marvel Comics” name was sold for a record amount at a Texas auction on Thursday. The issue, Marvel Comics No. 1 — published in October 1939 by Timely Comics, which would later become Marvel in the 1960s — sold for $1.26 million, the highest price ever at public auction for a comic made by the company, according to a Heritage Auctions press release. The comic was given a 9.4 rating out of 10 by Certified Guaranty Company, and is the highest-rated copy of the issue in existence. (15) THE ENEMY OF MY ENEMY. BBC reports “Bacterial allies make dengue fever cases dive”. Recruiting a bacterial ally that infects mosquitoes has led to huge reductions in cases of dengue fever, trials around the world show. Wolbachia bacteria make it harder for the insects to spread the virus, rather than kill them off. Researchers say the findings are a “big deal” with cases falling by more than 70% in field trials. New ways of controlling dengue are urgently needed as cases have exploded worldwide in the past 50 years. See also NPR’s “Infecting Mosquitoes With Bacteria Could Have A Big Payoff”.

Seeing all the destruction in the news this morning, we are thankful we came through relatively unscathed. (2) AVENGERS ASSEMBLE. Just in case the Marvel Cinematic Universe needs any defense against the negative opinions of Martin Scorsese and Francis Ford Coppola, a couple of well-known figures connected with the MCU have spoken up. James Gunn: Many of our grandfathers thought all gangster movies were the same, often calling them “despicable”. Some of our great grandfathers thought the same of westerns, and believed the films of John Ford, Sam Peckinpah, and Sergio Leone were all exactly the same. I remember a great uncle to whom I was raving about Star Wars. He responded by saying, “I saw that when it was called 2001, and, boy, was it boring!” Superheroes are simply today’s gangsters/cowboys/outer space adventurers. Some superhero films are awful, some are beautiful…. Natalie Portman: I think there’s room for all types of cinema,” she told The Hollywood Reporter at the 6th annual Los Angeles Dance Project Gala on Saturday at downtown Los Angeles’ Hauser & Wirth. “There’s not one way to make art.” “I think that Marvel films are so popular because they’re really entertaining and people desire entertainment when they have their special time after work, after dealing with their hardships in real life.” (3) HOW EAGER ARE YOU?

In “What happened to the 1944 Retro Hugos?”, Nicholas Whyte asks fans to consider the burden of producing a whole run of trophies when it’s this hard to find homes for them after the ceremony. Of course, the job would have been a little easier if the nominees with accepters had won: …I’m glad to say that we did have a few designated acceptors in the room on the night. Apart from those noted below, Betsy Wollheim was on hand in case her father Donald won (unfortunately he lost in all three categories where he was nominated); June and Naomi Rosenblum were there for their father-in-law/grandfather J. Michael Rosenblum; Stephanie Breijo was there for her great-grandfather Oscar J. Friend; and Harper Collins sent a rep for C.S. Lewis. So, for 66 finalists, we had acceptors on hand for 10. Future Worldcons might like to bear that in mind when planning whether or not to run Retro Hugo Awards. This is what happened with the trophies, in increasing order of the difficulty we had in dealing with them…. (5) HOUSE CALL.

Plagiarism Today’s Jonathan Bailey urges against a court appeal in “An Open Letter to Anas Abdin” Three weeks ago, it seemed as if the Tardigrades lawsuit was over. Anas Abdin’s lawsuit was tossed decisively and at an early stage, Abdin himself said, “I respect the ruling and I expect everyone to do so,” and there seemed to be little interest in any kind of an appeal. However, that respect for the decision did not last long. On Friday, Abdin announced that he was appealing the verdict and was launching a GoFundMe to finance the campaign. As of this writing, that campaign has raised more than $17,500 from more than 470 donors and is inching closer to its $20,000 goal…. (7) CONFACTS. Kees Van Toorn announced that all issues of ConFacts, the daily newsletter of ConFiction, the 1990 Worldcon, have been uploaded on their archival website in flipbook format. (8) KGB. Fantastic Fiction at KGB reading series hosts Ellen Datlow and Matthew Kressel present David Mack and Max Gladstone on November 20, 2019. David Mack is a New York Times bestselling author of over thirty novels of science fiction, fantasy, and adventure. His most recent works are The Midnight Front and The Iron Codex, parts one and two of his Dark Arts trilogy from Tor Books. He currently works as a creative consultant on two upcoming Star Trek television series. Max Gladstone is the author of Empress of Forever, the Hugo finalist Craft Sequence, and, with Amal El-Mohtar, This is How You Lose the Time War, in addition to his work with short and serial fiction, games, screenwriting, and comics. He has been a finalist for the Hugo, John W Campbell /Astounding, XYZZY, and Lambda Awards, and was once thrown from a horse in Mongolia. The event starts at 7 p.m. in the KGB Bar, 85 East 4th Street (just off 2nd Ave, upstairs.) in New York, NY. (9) FANFICTION. Sff writer Sara L. Uckelman, Assistant Professor of logic and philosophy of language at Durham University, issued an invitation: “Anyone interested in the paper behind the talk, my paper ‘Fanfiction, Canon, and Possible Worlds’ can be downloaded here.” …The study of fanfiction from a philosophical point of view raises a number of questions: What is fanfiction? What distinguishes it from ordinary fiction? How can we make sense of what is going on when people create and interact with fanfiction? In this paper, I consider two competing accounts of fanfiction—the derivative or dependent account and the constitutive account—and argue that these competing views parallel two competing ways in which a possible worlds account of fiction can be fleshed out, namely, Lewis’s modal realist account and Kripke’s stipulative view. I further argue that this parallel is not a mere parallel, but provides us with a test of adequacy for the possible worlds accounts: It is worthless to provide a philosophical account of the theoretical foundations of fiction if such an account doesn’t coordinate with the actual practice and production of fiction. (10) TODAY IN HISTORY. October 21, 1977 — Damnation Alley premiered. Based somewhat on Zelazny’s novel, it starred George Peppard as Major Eugene “Sam” Denton and Jan-Michael Vincent as 1st Lt. Jake Tanner. It bombed and was pulled quickly. Its Rotten Tomatoes score is 34%. For now at least, it’s on YouTube here. (11) TODAY’S BIRTHDAYS. Born October 21, 1904 — Edmond Hamilton. One of the prolific writers for Weird Tales from the late 20s to the late 40s, writing nearly eighty stories. (Lovecraft and Howard were the other key writers.) Sources say that through the late 1920s and early 1930s Hamilton wrote for all of the SF pulp magazines then publishing. His story “The Island of Unreason” (Wonder Stories, May 1933) won the first Jules Verne Prize as the best SF story of the year. This was the very first SF prize awarded by a vote of fans, which one source holds to be a precursor of the Hugo Awards. From the early 40s to the late 60s, he work for DC, in stories about Superman and Batman. He created the Space Ranger character with Gardner Fox and Bob Brown. On December 31, 1946, Hamilton married fellow science fiction author and screenwriter Leigh Brackett. Now there is another story as well. (Died 1977.) Born October 21, 1914 — Martin Gardner. He was one of leading authorities on Lewis Carroll. The Annotated Alice, which incorporated the text of Carroll’s two Alice books, is still a bestseller. He was considered the doyen (your word to learn today) of American puzzlers. And, to make him even more impressive, in 1999 Magic magazine named Gardner one of the “100 Most Influential Magicians of the Twentieth Century”. Cool! (Died 2010.) Born October 21, 1929 — Ursula Le Guin. She called herself a “Narrative American”. And she most emphatically did not consider herself to be a genre writer instead preferring be known as an “American novelist”. Oh, she wrote genre fiction with quite some brilliance, be it the Earthsea sequence, The Left Hand of Darkness, The Dispossessed, or Always Coming Home. Her upbringing as the daughter of two academics, one who was an anthropologist and the other who had a graduate degree in psychology, showed in her writing. And the home library of the family had a lot of SF in it. If you’re interested in the awards she won in her career, she garnered the Hugo Award, Nebula Award, Locus Award, and World Fantasy Award. At last she was also awarded the National Book Foundation Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters It won’t surprise you that she was made a SFWA Grandmaster, one of the few women writers so honored. (Died 2018.) Born October 21, 1933 — Georgia Brown. She’s the actress who portrayed Helena Rozhenko, foster mother of Worf, in the Next Gen’s “Family” and “New Ground” episodes. She was Frau Freud in The Seven-Percent Solution, and was Rachel in “The Musgrave Ritual” episode of the Nigel Stock fronted Sherlock Holmes series. (Died 1992.) Born October 21, 1945 — Everett McGill, 74. Stilgar in the first Dune film. Earlier in his career, he was a Noah in Quest for Fire. Later on, he’s Ed Killifer in License to Kill, and in Twin Peaks, he’s Big Ed Hurley. He was also Rev. Lowe in Stephen King’s Silver Bullet, a werewolf flick that actually has a decent rating of 55% at Rotten Tomatoes! Born October 21, 1956 — Carrie Fisher. In addition to the original Star Wars trilogy, Star Wars Holiday Special, The Force Awakens, Star Wars: The Last Jedi and the forthcoming Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, she was in Amazon Women on the Moon, The Time Guardian, Hook, Scream 3, and A Midsummer Night’s Rave. (Died 2016.) Born October 21, 1973 — Sasha Roiz, 45. I know him only as Captain Sean Renard on Grimm but he’s also been Sam Adama on Caprica as well. And he’s also been on Warehouse 13 in the recurring role of Marcus Diamond. He even showed up once on Lucifer as U.S. Marshal Luke Reynolds. (12) COMICS SECTION. Frazz makes a nifty dinosaur pun. (13) UNLIKELY BONANZA. Joseph Hurtgen studies the illustration of an economic system in a Hugo-winning novel: “Gateway – Frederik Pohl: A Critique of Capitalism”. …Consider the name of the alien space station for which Pohl’s book gets its name: Gateway. In the same way that taking highly random and highly dangerous alien space flights is the gateway to potential wealth, the capitalist system is also the gateway to the extreme fortune of the limited few that have, through luck or pluck, benefited most from the system. But no billionaire earns their riches without exploiting populations. Behind every fortune are the underpaid, the underfed, the forgotten, and the have nothings. The capitalist system, most simply defined, is a system of using the work of others and the work of wealth itself, to gain more wealth. It doesn’t take too much mental work to see that people are a form of capital in the capitalist system. Indeed, within capitalism everything is a form of capital. The best capitalist is the individual that figures out how to make more out of what they have…. (14) MYLNE’S GENRE ART. Artist James Mylne has been in the news lately (see, for instance ITV: “Boris Johnson turns into The Joker in new artwork”) for a political commentary that leans heavily on a genre reference. Filers might, therefore, be interested to know that his work has sometimes borrowed from other genre sources also. Example below.

Those passing through London between now and November 2 can see the play Solaris (nearest tube/metro/underground is Hammersmith). On a space station orbiting Solaris, three scientists have made contact with a new planet. Sent from earth to investigate reports of abnormal activity on-board, Kris Kelvin arrives to find one crew member dead and two who are seeing things that cannot be explained. When her dead lover appears to her, it seems she too has fallen victim to the mystery of this strange planet. Should she return to reality, or is this her chance to turn back time? Have the crew been studying Solaris – or has it been studying them? This psychological thriller asks who we are when we’re forced to confront our deepest fears. (16) ATWOOD PROFILE. Behind a paywall in the October 12 Financial Times, Horatia Harrod has a lengthy interview with Margaret Atwood. In Oryx and Crake, Atwood wrote about a world decimated by environmental catastrophe; her understanding of the fragility of the Earth and the rapaciousness of its human inhabitants came early. “My father was already talking about this over the dinner table in 1955,” says Atwood, who has been committed to raising awareness of the climate crisis for decades (she promised her 2000 Booker Prize winnings to charities dedicated to endangered animals. “There is so much data and evidence. But people would rather adhere to a belief system that favours them. So, what view of the climate is going to make more money for me?” Atwood’s mother, meanwhile, was a tomboy, whose favored pastimes were speedskating, horseback riding, canoeing, fishing, not doing housework. “I can’t think of much she was afraid of. This is a mother who chased a bear away with a broom, saying the following word: ‘Scat!’” There were other tough female role models:”Inuit women, who have done some pretty spectacular things. My aunt Ada, who I named a character in The Testaments after, was a hunting and fishing guide, and a crack shot with a .22.” (17) PLANETARY ANTHOLOGIES MIGRATE. Superversive Press has dropped the Planetary Anthologies line says Declan Finn, whose contribution, Luna, is awaiting publication. (Indeed, a search on Amazon showed Superversive Press books as a whole are now only available from third-party vendors.) However, Finn says another publisher is stepping up. The Planetary Anthology series is being discontinued. In fact, even the five anthologies that have been published already have been discontinued. They will no longer be available for sale online from the publisher. Which is odd for me. Especially after a year where the Area 51 anthology I was in this year was conceived of, edited, and released in 3 months from call for stories to publication. So, yeah, the original publisher isn’t doing them anymore. Finn says “the anthologies have all been picked up again by Tuscany Bay Books,” the imprint of Richard Paolinelli whose own unpublished Planetary Anthology, Pluto, will be next to appear. Contributors to these anthologies have included Jody Lyn Nye, Dawn Witzke, Lou Antonelli, Paolinelli, L Jagi Lamplighter, Hans G. Schantz, John C. Wright, Joshua M. Young and many others.

Every category on the 2019 ballot except Best Fantasy Novel has at least one nominee with less than a hundred Goodreads ratings, however, those are generally books with release dates in June and July 2019. The five exceptions to that general rule are the nominees by Brad Torgersen, Jason Cordova, Chris Kennedy, David Mack, and David Guenther. The Dragon Awards have 7 novel categories, with a total of 43 nominees. All three 2019 Hugo finalists published within the Dragon eligibility period (July 1, 2018 to June 30, 2019) are also up for a Dragon Award. And Hugo finalist Naomi Novik’s Spinning Silver has, by far, the highest number of Goodreads ratings of any book up for a Dragon Award.

Posted on March 9, 2018 by Mike Glyer (1) SUBTITLE THIS. Not very sff, but the replies to John Hornor’s tweet are absolute gold. Authors, it's 2018. Do not title your books with a forceful wordplay on your main character's name. Angel Stevens only wanted to retire from the FBI in peace, until a serial killer changed all that in FALLING ANGEL DON'T DO THIS EVER AGAIN — John Hornor (@johnhornor) March 8, 2018 Among other responses – I will pay you to stop. (2) WRINKLE IN TIME REACTIONS. Two NPR views: the straight by Linda Holmes: “Oprah In The Sky, With Wisdom: The Earnest, Imaginative ‘A Wrinkle In Time'” There is a part of a filmgoer who is exhausted by an avalanche of stuff — much of it forgettable, much of it created by committee, much of it branded within an inch of its life and all of it subject to commercial expectations that are either indifferent or hostile to art — that says, “I cannot get on board with a film that delivers wisdom through a giant, glowing Oprah.” Is that cynicism? Perhaps, but it’s cynicism that is earned. What Ava DuVernay’s adaptation of A Wrinkle In Time asks is that this cynicism be temporarily laid down so that you can, in fact, be deeply moved by wisdom delivered by a giant, glowing Oprah. If you do, it’s a profoundly satisfying, imaginative and beautiful film. And the slant by Bob Mondello: “‘A Wrinkle In Time’ Will Delight Target Audience That Doesn’t Have Too Many Wrinkles”. Director Ava DuVernay has a light touch with these early scenes, though she gets seriously bogged down in special effects as the film goes on. In 1962 when “A Wrinkle In Time” was published, critics noted the Christian theology of author Madeleine L’Engle, comparing her to “Narnia” creator C.S. Lewis and wondered if the book’s challenge to conformity could be read as a Cold War allegory about communism. No one’s likely to do that this time. (3) MORE WRINKLES. The Verge’s Tasha Robinson also isn’t a fan: “A Wrinkle in Time isn’t for cynics — or adults”. The new Disney film adaptation A Wrinkle in Time, directed by Ava DuVernay (an Oscar nominee for the 2015 historical feature Selma and the 2017 documentary 13th), pays a lot of lip service to that awkwardness but never convincingly captures it. L’Engle’s brand of weirdness can be ugly and unsettling, as her characters suffer physical abuse, fight their own uncontrollable rages, or just spout oddball jargon, oblivious to the ways they’re alienating or offending other people. The film is unmistakably the Disney version of the story, with anything potentially problematic or offensive sanded off and replaced with soft, pastel CGI. It’s a pretty take on the story, but it’s also a frustratingly safe and squishy one. It’s infinitely well-intentioned, full of warm self-affirmation and positivity, and absolutely nothing about it feels emotionally authentic enough to drive those messages home. (4) BETRAYAL BY DESIGN. The Washington Post’s Michael O’Sullivan, in “Beloved books can turn into terrible movies. Will ‘A Wrinkle in Time’ beat the odds?”, interviews A Wrinkle in Time screenwriter Jennifer Lee, who explains how she updated Madeleine L’Engle’s novel to appeal to contemporary sensibilities. Ritesh Batra put it best. When I interviewed the director of “The Sense of an Ending,” the 2017 film based on Julian Barnes’s Man Booker Prize-winning novel, the filmmaker told me that the best — and most liberating — advice he ever got was what Barnes told him: “Go ahead and betray me.” The real question for anyone adapting a book, Batra explained, is not to ask, “What do I want people to see on-screen?” — i.e., plot, action, etc. That’s the easy part. Rather, it’s “What do I want people to feel?” I proposed the theory — that feeling trumps seeing — to Jennifer Lee, whose “Wrinkle” screenplay (co-written with Jeff Stockwell) forms the basis of director Ava DuVernay’s new film. “It’s funny,” Lee said. “That’s exactly what I say about the approach we took.” Lee’s previous credits include co-directing and writing the Oscar-winning movie “Frozen,” based on a story by Hans Christian Andersen. The challenge of book adaptation, Lee explained over the phone — particularly when the book’s audience is children, who carry attachments to favorite books for years — is that readers fill in missing details with their imaginations and that a movie “chooses for you.” An additional problem is the fact that film is collaborative: a product not just of words on a page, but also of makeup artists, costumers, casting agents, production designers and, if you’re lucky, a director with the vision to unify it all. There is only so much that a writer can nail down. (5) STOP STEALING, PLEASE. Looks like it’s time for Disney to write someone a big check: “Artist claims Disney stole his work on a series of album covers and used them for the new Han Solo movie posters”. An artist has accused Disney of stealing artwork he did on album covers and using it for the posters for Solo: A Star Wars Story. The retro-styled character posters for the latest Star Wars movie came out in February along with the trailer and feature vintage pop-art style that also include shots of the different characters. But the posters look almost completely identical to album covers created by Hachim Bahous, who shared the comparisons on his Facebook. (6) LIBRARIANS WHACKED. The Hollywood Reporter says “‘The Librarians’ Canceled at TNT” but the series might show up again somewhere else. TNT is closing the book on The Librarians. The Turner-owned cable network has canceled the drama from showrunner Dean Devlin. Devlin broke the news Thursday, noting that he would look to find a new home for the series that originally started as a TV movie on the cable network. “Just got the official call. TNT has canceled #TheLibrarians— I will immediately begin the process of trying to move the show elsewhere. Please keep your fingers crossed for us!” he wrote. The fantasy-adventure drama was developed by John Rogers and based on The Librarian by David Titcher. Rebecca Romijn starred in the drama with Noah Wyle recurring and executive producing the series alongside Devlin, Mark Roskin and John Rogers. (7) IT COULD BE YOU. Applications for new HSS/NASA Fellowships are being taken until April 1 – see “Fellowships in Aerospace History” Pending renewal of funding, the Fellowships in Aerospace History are offered annually by the National Aeronautics Space Administration (NASA) to support significant scholarly research projects in aerospace history. These fellowships grant the opportunity to engage in significant and sustained advanced research in all aspects of the history of aerospace from the earliest human interest in flight to the present, including cultural and intellectual history, economic history, history of law and public policy, and the history of science, engineering, and management. NASA provides funds to the American Historical Association, the History of Science Society, and the Society for the History of Technology to allow each association to award a fellowship. Applications will be entered into consideration for all three fellowships. (8) GALACTIC PHILADELPHIA. The next Galactic Philadelphia event on April 10 will feature Sam J. Miller and Samuel Delany. (9) EATING THE FANTASTIC. Scott Edelman invites listeners to polish off a Persian dinner with David Mack in Episode 61 of his Eating the Fantastic podcast. David’s written more than 30 novels, including the Star Trek Destiny and Cold Equations trilogies. He was also responsible for several episodes of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. His newest novel is The Midnight Front, a World War II-era epic fantasy which is the first book in the Dark Arts series of secret-history novels. The venue for our dinner was Orchard Market and Cafe, a wonderful Persian restaurant recommended by recent guest of the show Norman Prentiss. Norman had told me that the Chicken Fesenjune was one of his favorite things in the whole world, and now that I’ve been there, I can can tell you—he had good reason to say that. Believe me, the food there was wonderful, and I’ll be going back whenever I can. David and I discussed the weird ways his life entwined with the famed comic book artist who shares his name, how worrying about the details of Star Trek canon helped him when it came time to unravel the secret history of WWII, the way a near-death experience led to him working for the Syfy Channel, why it was so important for necromancers to pay a heavy price for the magic they choose to wield in his new novel The Midnight Front, how not making a pitch to a book editor resulted in him selling TV scripts to Star Trek, his unabashed love for the Beat author Richard Brautigan, the reason that after 27 Trek novels and a ton of other tie-in work he’s chosen to publish his non-franchise breakout book now, and much more.

Jeff Goins’ podcast The Portfolio Life hosts “123: How Community Will Help You Become a Better Writer with Diana Glyer”. In this episode, Diana and I discuss: Who the Inklings are, and why this group still matters today. The dynamics and quirks of literary groups. How community can positively influence your work. Why people believed the individuals within the Inklings were immune to influence from each other. The pervasive myth of the solitary genius. How great art and writing is forged in community. Why writing is not a momentary flash of genius, but a slow and steady work of art. What you need to know about the transactional nature of writing. Steps you can take to build your own literary group. Quotes and takeaways We are mesmerized by the end of the story, but we forget about the beginning. To build community, you have to take a risk and share your work with others. Start small when you build a community of support. Loneliness will leave you feeling empty, but community will help you sustain your work. (13) HITCHHIKER AT 40. The BBC is celebrating Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy with a new series based on Eoin Colfer’s Hitchhiker novel Hexagonal Phase. Catch the first episode here. Ars Technical’s Jonathan M. Gitlin says give it a listen: The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy deserves a special place in the geek pantheon. It’s the story of hapless BBC radio editor Arthur Dent, his best friend Ford Prefect, and the adventures that result when Prefect saves Dent when the Earth is unexpectedly destroyed to make way for a galactic bypass. Written by the late, great Douglas Adams, HHGTTG first appeared as a radio series in the UK back in 1978. On Thursday—exactly 40 years to the day from that first broadcast—it made its return home with the start of Hexagonal Phase, a radio dramatization of the sixth and final book of an increasingly misnamed trilogy. … So I’m happy to report that this latest installment doesn’t disappoint. And even better, unlike the BBC’s TV content, it’s not geoblocked or behind any kind of paywall. So go on, what are you waiting for—the coming of the Great Prophet Zarquon? (14) CLASS IS IN SESSION.

The King’s Speech director Tom Hooper will also helm the 8-part series. (16) A TANGLED WEB. Dr. Janelle Shane is at it again: “SkyKnit: How an AI Took Over an Adult Knitting Community” in The Atlantic. Janelle Shane is a humorist who creates and mines her material from neural networks, the form of machine learning that has come to dominate the field of artificial intelligence over the last half-decade. Perhaps you’ve seen the candy-heart slogans she generated for Valentine’s Day: DEAR ME, MY MY, LOVE BOT, CUTE KISS, MY BEAR, and LOVE BUN. Or her new paint-color names: Parp Green, Shy Bather, Farty Red, and Bull Cream. Or her neural-net-generated Halloween costumes: Punk Tree, Disco Monster, Spartan Gandalf, Starfleet Shark, and A Masked Box. Her latest project, still ongoing, pushes the joke into a new, physical realm. Prodded by a knitter on the knitting forum Ravelry, Shane trained a type of neural network on a series of over 500 sets of knitting instructions. Then, she generated new instructions, which members of the Ravelry community have actually attempted to knit. (17) BLOWN UP, SIR! Peter Blumberg, in “‘Zombie Go Boom’ Attack on YouTube Ad Policy Is Ruled a Bust”, on Bloomberg, says that the owners of the YouTube Zombie Go Boom channel, in which as many as ten million people a month delight in watching imaginary undead creatures explode, tried to sue Google when they declared that ad revenue for the site would fall from $500 a day to $20 because some advertisers declared the site offensive. But Judge Edward Chen said that Google was under no legal obligation to share any ad revenue with the site. The freedom to produce a YouTube channel dedicated to bashing the undead doesn’t come with a guarantee of steady income. So said a judge in ruling Wednesday that Google’s video-sharing website isn’t responsible for taking a big bite out of the revenue that was flowing to the owners of the wildly popular “Zombie Go Boom” channel. (18) GRINCH TRAILER. Benedict Cumberbatch will voice The Grinch, due in theaters at Christmas. For their eighth fully animated feature, Illumination and Universal Pictures present The Grinch, based on Dr. Seuss’ beloved holiday classic. The Grinch tells the story of a cynical grump who goes on a mission to steal Christmas, only to have his heart changed by a young girl’s generous holiday spirit. Funny, heartwarming and visually stunning, it’s a universal story about the spirit of Christmas and the indomitable power of optimism. Academy Award® nominee Benedict Cumberbatch lends his voice to the infamous Grinch, who lives a solitary life inside a cave on Mt. Crumpet with only his loyal dog, Max, for company. With a cave rigged with inventions and contraptions for his day-to-day needs, the Grinch only sees his neighbors in Who-ville when he runs out of food. (19) FLYING CARS. Here’s your flying car (finally) — if you have the money: “Have you ever dreamed of flying in your car?” This BBC video shows Transition and other cars live. (20) SPEED OF FRIGHT. MIT researchers find fake news ‘travels faster’: A study of 126,000 rumours and false news stories spread on Twitter over a period of 11 years found that they travelled faster and reached more people than the truth. Researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology also found that fake news was more commonly re-tweeted by humans than bots. They said it could be because fake news tends to be “more novel”. The most common subject matter was false political news. Other popular topics included urban legends, business, terrorism, science, entertainment and natural disasters. (21) UNDER CONSTRUCTION. This video at the Disney Blog takes you on a flyover of the Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge construction site at Disney World. While the highly anticipated Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge lands won’t debut to Disneyland and Walt Disney World Resort guests until 2019, eager fans can take a voyage over the Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge construction site – right now! At Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, guests will be transported to the planet of Batuu, a remote outpost on the galaxy’s edge that was once a busy crossroads along the old sub-lightspeed trade routes. Here, guests will find themselves in the middle of the action at two attractions that take detail and immersion to the next level: one that lets guests take the controls of Millennium Falcon on a customized secret mission, and an epic Star Wars adventure that puts guests in the middle of a climactic battle between the First Order and the Resistance. (22) BUCKMINSTER FULLER. The once well-known futurist makes a comeback, sort of, in The House of Tomorrow, in theaters April 27. 16-year-old Sebastian Prendergast has spent most of his life with his Nana in their geodesic dome home tourist attraction where she raises him on the futurist teachings of her former mentor Buckminster Fuller in hopes that one day Sebastian will carry Fuller’s torch and make the world a better place. But when a stroke sidelines Nana, Sebastian begins sneaking around with Jared, a chain-smoking, punk-obsessed 16 year old with a heart transplant who lives in the suburbs with his bible-thumping single father Alan and teenage sister Meredith. Sebastian and Jared form a band and with his Nana’s dreams, his first real friendship, and a church talent show at stake, Sebastian must decide if he wants to become the next Buckminster Fuller, the next Sid Vicious, or something else entirely.

Where once the hero touted the ideals of “truth, justice, and the American way,” like a good leftist, Superman is now a “citizen of the world.” (2) DISCOVERY NOVEL SERIES BEGINS. I was interested to see the first Star Trek: Discovery tie-in novel is already out, though the timing couldn’t be better — Star Trek: Discovery: Desperate Hours by David Mack. An all-original novel based upon the explosive new series on CBS All Access Aboard the Starship Shenzhou, Lieutenant Michael Burnham, a human woman raised and educated among Vulcans, is promoted to acting first officer. But if she wants to keep the job, she must prove to Captain Philippa Georgiou that she deserves to have it. She gets her chance when the Shenzhou must protect a Federation colony that is under attack by an ancient alien vessel that has surfaced from the deepest fathoms of the planet’s dark, uncharted sea. As the menace from this mysterious vessel grows stronger, Starfleet declares the colony expendable in the name of halting the threat. To save thousands of innocent lives, Burnham must infiltrate the alien ship. But to do so, she needs to face the truth of her troubled past, and seek the aid of a man she has tried to avoid her entire life—until now. (3) OUT OF HIS SHELL. Scott Edelman invites fans to join John Kessel for a seafood feast in Episode 47 of the Eating the Fantastic podcast. John Kessel Kessel’s latest novel, The Moon and The Other, was released in April from Saga Press, an imprint of Simon & Schuster. He’s a two-time Nebula Award winner, first in 1982 for his novella “Another Orphan,” then in 2008 for the novelette “Pride and Prometheus.” He set a new record with that second award, in that the 26 years between the two was (at the time) the longest gap for a winner in Nebula history. His short story “Buffalo”—one of my all-time favorites in or out of genre, and one which I reread often—won the Theodore Sturgeon Memorial Award in 1992. We discussed why he suddenly has two novels coming out within a year two decades after his last one, how attending the 1969 St. Louis Worldcon changed his life, the ways in which his objections to “The Cold Equations” and Ender’s Game are at their heart the same, his early days attempting to emulate Thomas M. Disch, the time-travel short story he couldn’t whip into shape for Damon Knight, which author broke his 26-year Nebula Awards record for the longest gap between wins, the secret behind the success of his many collaborations with James Patrick Kelly, and more. (4) WE’LL ALWAYS HAVE PARIS. Hampus Eckerman is living the sci-fi life while visiting France. Most hotels have got the bible to read, but my hotel in Paris has got The Island of Dr. Moreau! On the other hand, my TV-set scares me. (5) MORE SHORT FICTION REVIEWS, In “A New SFF Review Site Looks Interesting”, Camestros Felapton aims our attention at the inaugural work of SFF Reviews, Sara L. Uckelman’s review of “The Salt Debt” by J. B. Rockwell. In Uckelman’s explanatory post about the site she says: Our aim is provide short reviews of short SFF stories that reflect a diversity of voices and opinions from both the authors and the reviewers. Other than a few formatting requirements to ensure the reviews are presented and tagged in a uniform fashion, and one content requirement — don’t be mean! — reviewers are free to write their reviews as they please. Some people will focus on the story; some on the narration; some on the language. Some of the reviews will be more slanted to the factual and the objective; some will be the reviewer’s own personal response to a piece. Some reviews will be longer than others, but don’t be surprised if most come in around 200 words — after all, one doesn’t want a review to be longer to read than the story itself! (6) OKORAFOR VISION. On Twitter she winces at the “Afrocentric” and wishes they had at least said Afrofuturist – the A.V. Club’s news item, “HBO orders new sci-fi series from author Nnedi Okorafor and producer George R.R. Martin”. HBO has officially closed a deal to grab a new TV show from George R.R. Martin, with Deadline reporting that the network has finalized plans to develop a Martin-produced adaptation of Nnedi Okorafor’s 2010 novel Who Fears Death. Set in a post-apocalyptic Africa, the book tells the story of a young girl who seeks to discover the meaning behind her own magical powers, as well as the nature of the powerful forces trying to end her life. "Afrocentric"….at least say Afrofuturist, yeesh. Get with it. And I wrote the novel being adapted. Mscheeeeeeeeeeew. https://t.co/AuIg6TIuwy — Nnedi Okorafor, PhD (@Nnedi) September 15, 2017 (7) POURNELLE OBIT IN NYT. It’s rather remarkable that in “Jerry Pournelle, Science Fiction Novelist and Computer Guide, Dies at 84” the New York Times obituary writer makes only the most minimal reference to Pournelle’s voluminous political writings, which have been deeply controversial within the sf community. Dr. Pournelle was also known to many through lively columns for Byte magazine in which, beginning early in the home-computing age, he talked about personal computers and the software for them. Much of any given column was about his own experiences at “Chaos Manor” — his name for his home, and for the column — trying out new software products and wrestling with bugs, glitches and viruses. (8) TODAY IN HISTORY September 15, 1965 — Beach-horror hybrid The Beach Girls and the Monster opens in theaters. September 15, 1965 — Mario Bava’s Planet of the Vampires premieres in its native Italy. September 15, 2015 – Rocket Stack Rank went live. (9) TODAY’S BIRTHDAYS Born September 15, 1940 – Norman Spinrad Born September 15, 1942 – Chelsea Quinn Yarbro (10) PLANS FOR X-MEN. Marvel will be producing a six-issue arc revisiting the complete history of the X-Men universe. Marvel Comics and Eisner Award-winning indie cartoonist indie Ed Piskor are teaming up for an unexpected, unprecedented, and uncanny undertaking. Best known for documenting the history of hip hop with the award winning HIP HOP FAMILY TREE graphic novels, Ed Piskor will sample and distill more than 8,000 pages of superheroic storytelling to create a definitive remix of the first 280 original issues of X-Men comic books and 30 years of complicated continuity into one seamless masterpiece of superheroic storytelling. Piskor will write, draw, ink, color and letter all six 40 page issues of X-MEN: GRAND DESIGN, which Marvel will publish over three years as three separate but interconnected mini-series — X-MEN: GRAND DESIGN, X-MEN: GRAND DESIGN-SECOND GENESIS and X-MEN: GRAND DESIGN-X-TINCTION. “X-MEN: GRAND DESIGN is a tribute to everything comic book fans love about the X-Men from Stan Lee and Jack Kirby’s original run and Chris Claremont’s, epic 16-year stint as the series’ writer,” said Piskor. “It’s a compelling and complete story with a beginning, middle and an end, featuring everything from Xavier’s School for Gifted Youngsters, Cerebro and the Danger Room to the Mutant Massacre, the Reavers, Gambit, and Genosha.” (11) ACTRESS TO REPRISE HALLOWEEN ROLE. Horror Freak news reports “Jamie Lee Curtis Returning as Laurie Strode in “HALLOWEEN” 2018!” If fans of John Carpenter’s seminal horror classic Halloween (released in 1978) weren’t happy about the planned reboot in the works at Blumhouse, they will be now. The indie powerhouse just announced that iconic Scream Queen and original Final Girl Jamie Lee Curtis has joined the cast and will be reprising the role of Laurie Strode, Michael Myers’ sister. The news came down via Twitter. Jamie Lee Curtis returns to her iconic role as Laurie Strode in HALLOWEEN, released by Universal Pictures October 19, 2018. #HalloweenMovie pic.twitter.com/6tbbz2W1ZV — Blumhouse (@blumhouse) September 15, 2017 (12) TARANTINO TREK. Dirk Lilley, in “What Kind of Star Trek Movie Quentin Tarantino Would Like to Make” on CinemaBlend, summarizes some intelligent comments Tarantino made to the Nerdist Podcast. including why he would like to remake “City On the Edge of Forever.” The director specifically mentions “City on the Edge of Forever” as an episode that would make a great movie. It’s one of the great Trek classics, but as Quentin Tarantino pointed out, the episode really only focuses on our main three of Kirk, Spock, and McCoy, and the rest of the crew would be virtually non-existent. That wouldn’t really work for a modern film adaptation. You’ve got to find something for Zoe Saldana and John Cho to do. (13) FORNAX 20. Charles Rector has just posted the 20th issue of his fanzine Fornax to eFanzines. Included in its contents are Bill Burns’s comments on the sad state of the Hugo Awards for Best Fanzines with blogs increasingly being counted as fanzines and winning the awards. Also, an essay about what in Rector’s view is the increasing problem of such pro authors such Sarah A. Hoyt, Larry Correia, Vox Day, and others’ trashing both fans and fandom. Fornax the 20th also has articles about road rage, how to do TV advertisements relating to hiring handicapped people as well as articles and stories by Robin Bright and Gerd Maximovic. (14) SPLIT PERSONALITIES. The Verge’s Angela Chen explains how “These robots mind meld when they need to work together”. Shapeshifting robots already exist; they either have a centralized “nervous system” that controls where each unit is, or each of the units works by itself and they sometimes link up. But centralized systems are weak and can’t scale, while self-organizing robots are hard to control and clumsy. Researchers created a new robot that has the strengths of both: the individual units can control themselves — but they can also connect to each other and become a single, precise robot. The study was published today in the journal Nature Communications. In the new system, the robot is made of different units controlled by one “brain,” sort of like the nervous system in our bodies. This brain is the leader of the pack and, using Wi-Fi, gathers data from the other robots and controls them if they come into contact. “The robots in our multi-robot system are autonomous individual robots that, when they attach to each other, become a new single robot with a single control system,” study co-author Marco Dorigo, wrote in an email to The Verge. Then, if they detach, they go back to being autonomous system with their own control systems. Dorigo calls this new method “mergeable nervous system,” and says it is a more precise way to control all the units.

The time is ripe for “The Official Pornokitsch Taxonomy of Villains”. So we’ve been at this Villain of the Month thing for a while now — since August 2016, to be precise — and by this point we’ve accumulated an interesting roster of villains…. First up, we have the True Believer (the Operative, Dolores Umbridge). True Believers have a cause to which they are faithfully devoted. That’s not to say they lack other ambitions — wealth, for example, or glory — but those take a back seat to one all-important ideological goal. For the Operative, that goal is creating “a world without sin”. For Umbridge, it’s a fascist regime ruled by the Ministry of Magic. Villains who obsequiously serve a Dark Lord (e.g. Bellatrix Lestrange) or fight to preserve the existing order (e.g. Agent Smith) would also fall into this category. For me, the most interesting True Believers are those fighting for a cause the audience could nominally get behind (e.g. the aforementioned world without sin), but whose methods are beyond the pale…. (2) MISSING THE APOCALYPSE. “Yeah, why DON’T authors deal with climate change??? <rolleyes>,” wrote JJ after seeing Tobias Buckell, Daniel Abraham and some other sff authors on Twitter get a little peeved because Publishers Weekly touted an article by Siddhartha Deb in The Baffler that said only nonfiction writers seemed to be dealing with it. Such are the absurdities of the fossil-fuel lifestyle we are locked into globally, folly piling upon folly, the latest among them the decision by the United States to pull out of a Paris Climate Agreement that itself is like a band-aid applied to an earthquake. (Its target is to limit the global rise in temperature to between 1.5 and 2 degrees centigrade but, since it comes into effect only in 2020, it is seen by many critics as putting such a target beyond reach.) Yet in spite of all the evidence of the destruction visited upon the world by our resource-heavy appetites, accompanied by a gnawing recognition that something is fundamentally wrong in our relationship with the Earth and in the way we live, and all the cumulative knowledge about climate change and the irreplicable characteristics of an era that some have named the Anthropocene, the end result is still a kind of imaginative fatigue. This makes itself evident in the paucity of fiction devoted to the carbon economy, something the Brooklyn-based Indian writer Amitav Ghosh addresses in his marvelous recent book, The Great Derangement, writing, “When the subject of climate change occurs . . . it is almost always in relation to nonfiction; novels and short stories are very rarely to be glimpsed within this horizon.” (3) FAUX POP CULTURE. The Book Smugglers reminds all that Yoon Ha Lee’s Raven Stratagem comes out next week with this guest post from the author, “You Were Watching What on TV, Cheris?” One of the most entertaining things I’ve gotten to do in the background worldbuilding for the hexarchate is its popular culture. For example, in Ninefox Gambit, my heroine Cheris spends her free time watching crackalicious TV shows (“dramas”). In Raven Stratagem, one of the Kel recalls a classmate who used to read trashy adventures involving “dungeon-crawling” in the bowels of the campus. And it also reveals that Jedao’s mom used to like reading equally trashy sci-fi novels involving survivalists and tentacled monsters from outer space. Just because she’s a science fantasy character doesn’t mean she can’t like sci-fi, right? (4) INDIGENOUS VOICES. Silvia Moreno-Garcia and Robin Parker have succeeded in creating the Emerging Indigenous Voices Awards, which is now hosted by the Indigenous Literary Studies Association. And the ILSA has announced the award judges. (No excerpt, because the news item is one big image file — not text!) ILSA has set a funding target of $150,000 to”make the award sustainable for many years to come.” As of this writing, the Indiegogo appeal has raised $109,298 (Canadian). [H/T to Earl Grey Editing.] (5) TIPTREE FELLOWSHIP REPORTS. The two 2016 Tiptree Fellowship winners have reported on how their work has been facilitated by the fellowships. [H/T to Earl Grey Editing.] First on Porpentine Charity Heartscape’s list: Here’s what I’ve been up to since I got the Tiptree fellowship. I made Miniskirt World Network: Business Slut Online, a video/music hypertext about a femme vaporwave world where fashion is a basic computer peripheral. I wanted to evoke the contradictory tensions of feminine-coded clothing and the weird emotional textures that come with it. Mia Sereno (Likhain) explains: I cannot separate my being Filipino, of the Philippines, from my being a woman; they are inextricably intertwined. Thanks to the Tiptree Fellowship I was able to examine this intertwining more closely through my art. Life has not been easy this past year and between trying to keep my household afloat and taking care of my own health, I’ve had less time than I would have liked to work on my art series built around the concept of Filipinas as monsters, monstrosity reclaimed and embraced. Still, I’d like to share with you some work-in-progress pencils and concept sketches featuring both high fantasy settings and the supernatural as the second skin of our everyday. (6) THIS LAND IS YOUR LAND. The Wombat Conservancy, Winery, and Writer’s Retreat — a hilarious conversation on Twitter. I don't think I can Kickstart "buy me 200 acres of woods so I can just not do anything to it for years!" — The Wombat Resists (@UrsulaV) June 7, 2017 To reach the beginning, JJ advises, “You have to keep scrolling up until you get to the top (land for sale listings).” (7) RARE POWER. ScreenRant tells you what they think is the “Wonder Woman Movie’s Most Important Scene”. But I will excerpt a less spoilery part of the article. By now most superhero fans with an eye for gender representation will have noticed a discrepancy between males and females with superpowers in comic movies, fantasy, science fiction, etc., etc.. Where the men either immediately or eventually see their superpowers as a gift, and the testing and mastery of the powers as a thrilling ‘coming of age’ story (or montage), women face a different road ahead. Often, the surfacing of a latent or new superpower is treated as an illness: something to hide, remove, control, or at the very least suspect as a problem to be solved (no matter how cool those superpowers may be). For every ‘Professor X’ there is a Jean Grey, for every Flash there is a Killer Frost, for every super-fast Quicksilver, there is a mentally-traumatized Scarlet ‘Witch.’ It’s a gender difference that means men will typically exert power by hitting things, while women are given powers rendering them unpredictable, mentally unstable, or simply tied to forces from an ‘unknown, mystical, potentially harmful’ source. But with Wonder Woman, Diana’s discovery of her ability to punch straight through stone is treated as the world-altering, empowering, and thrilling gift the viewers would take it to be. After smashing her hand through the stone in a frantic fall, Diana deduces that she is stronger than any Amazon before her (8) NEBULA SHOWCASE. Don’t forget the Nebula Awards Showcase 2017 edited by Julie Czerneda. The Nebula Awards Showcase volumes have been published annually since 1966, reprinting the winning and nominated stories of the Nebula Awards, voted on by the members of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America (SFWA). This year’s editor, selected by SFWA’s anthology Committee (chaired by Mike Resnick), is Canadian science fiction and fantasy writer and editor Julie Czerneda. This year’s Nebula Award winners are Naomi Novik, Nnedi Okorafor, Sarah Pinsker, and Alyssa Wong, with Fran Wilde winning the Andre Norton Award for Young Adult Science Fiction and Fantasy Book. Also included in this volume are works by N. K. Jemisin and Ann Leckie. (9) ON THE ROAD. I laughed.

Campbell, Jr (12) BRYANT MEMORIAL. George R.R. Martin tells about attending the memorial service for Ed Bryant in “Saying Farewell”. Ed was a talented writer and a great workshopper, who mentored and encouraged many writers younger than himself and helped them on their way. He was one of my Wild Cards authors, creator of Sewer Jack and Wyungare. But most of all he was a sweet, kind man, with a warm smile and a gentle wit. Science fiction and fantasy will be poorer without him. Memorials like this are not for the deceased so much as they are for those left behind, I believe. It was good to get together with so many others who cared about Ed, and to share our memories of him, with laughter and love. (13) TURNABOUT. Queen Idia’s Africa: Ten Short Stories by Cordelia Salter was released May 11. Africa is rich and the West is poor. That’s the setting for Queen Idia’s Africa: Ten Short Stories by Cordelia Salter with a foreword by Zeinab Badawi. This is a world where slavery and colonialism never happened and Africa is the rich global superpower. The West is mired in poverty, politically unstable and relies on aid from Africa. Zeinab Badawi, Chair of the Royal African Society, points out in the foreword that the stories make us think what things could have been like if the boot had been on the other foot. What would Africa do about swarms of illegal European migrants trying to get to Africa in search of a better life? How would Africa respond to droughts, famines and rebel warfare in North America? Could there have been apartheid the other way round? (14) SHE, THE JURY. Naomi Alderman, whose sf novel The Power just won the Baileys Prize for Women’s Fiction, has been added to the jury for the The Royal Society Insight Investment Science Book Prize. Alderman will be one of five judges, chaired by award-winning writer and television presenter, palaeontologist and Royal Society Fellow, Richard Fortey. They are joined by: writer and presenter of BBC Radio 4’s All in the Mind, Claudia Hammond, Channel 4’s Topical Specialist Factual Commissioner, Shaminder Nahal and former Royal Society University Research Fellow, Sam Gilbert. The Prize has worked with many eminent judges over its illustrious 30-year history, among them Ian McEwan, Sarah Waters, Terry Pratchett, David Attenborough, Tracy Chevalier and Michael Frayn. The Prize celebrates outstanding popular science books from around the world and is open to authors of science books written for a non-specialist audience. Over the decades, it has championed writers such as Stephen Hawking, Jared Diamond, Stephen Jay Gould and Bill Bryson. Naomi Alderman commented: “It’s a terrible shame that arts and sciences are so often seen as mutually opposed, and that there’s so little understanding of what makes great work in ‘the other’ culture. So many of the most urgent problems that face us today can only be solved by thinking in an interdisciplinary way. That’s why I’m particularly thrilled to be a judge of this Prize, where we’ll be looking both for great science and excellent writing and storytelling. There’s no reason that a science book can’t be a bloody good read, and I can’t wait to get stuck in, and to discuss the best new science writing with the other judges.” (15) ILLEGAL ESPIONAGE. In Section 31: Control, frequent Star Trek novelist David Mack takes on Starfleet’s secretive, rogue agency. Dr. Bashir, as he was in Deep Space Nine episodes involving Section 31, is the chief protagonist. No law…no conscience…no mercy. Amoral, shrouded in secrecy, and answering to no one, Section 31 is the mysterious covert operations division of Starfleet, a rogue shadow group pledged to defend the Federation at any cost. The discovery of a two-hundred-year-old secret gives Doctor Julian Bashir his best chance yet to expose and destroy the illegal spy organization. But his foes won’t go down without a fight, and his mission to protect the Federation he loves just end up triggering its destruction. Only one thing is for certain: this time, the price of victory will be paid with Bashir’s dearest blood. (16) TOASTY. A “heat battery” in use in real world: “From hand-warmer to house-warmer for tech firm”. It took a creative leap to take the idea further: could you scale up the phase change process so a hand-warmer became a house-warmer? Several big corporations – over several decades – tried to make it happen but each time the research petered out. Now an East Lothian company with fewer than 30 employees has succeeded. The equipment Sunamp have developed at their base in Macmerry has already been installed in 650 Scottish homes, providing heat and hot water for about half the cost of gas. (17) HAWKING MEDAL. Space.com reports “Neil deGrasse Tyson Becomes 1st American to Receive Stephen Hawking Medal”. Astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson received the Stephen Hawking Medal for Science Communication Tuesday (June 6), becoming the first American scientist to earn the prestigious award. Tyson, who refers to himself as “your personal astrophysicist,” is most known for his television series “Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey” and podcast-turned-television-series “StarTalk.” He is the director for the Hayden Planetarium at the American Museum of Natural History here in New York City, where Tuesday’s announcement was made. The Stephen Hawking Medal is an annual award created in association with the Starmus Festival, an international gathering celebrating science and art that will take place in Trondheim, Norway, on June 18-23 this year. Medals are given to science communicators in three categories: writers, musicians and artists, and people in the film and entertainment industry. Hawking, a famous theoretical physicist and author of several best-selling books about the universe, handpicks the recipients himself.

Chris Chan continues his Orwellian remaking of recent fanhistory in “‘No Award’: The Hugo Awards, Sad Puppies, and Sci-Fi/Fantasy Literature — Part Two: A Short History of the Sad Puppies at the Hugos” at Nerd HQ. The results of the 2015 experiment were dramatic and explosive. The recommendations of the Sad Puppies (and also those put forward by the Rabid Puppies) dominated the 2015 Hugo Nominations. John C. Wright received five nominations in three categories (he initially was awarded a sixth slot, but one was revoked on a technicality). The Hugo nominee list changed over the coming weeks. Aside from the aforementioned instance, some nominees chose to decline their nomination (Hugo nominees have this option and can decline for any reason they like — some original nominees did not approve of the Sad or Rabid Puppies and did not wish to have any connection with them, and others objected that they believed that the voting process was being corrupted), and the slots were then filled by the runners-up. Incidentally, Correia’s Monster Hunter Nemesis received enough votes to qualify for a Best Novel nomination, but he turned down the nod to make the point that Sad Puppies was not being organized in order to receive honors for himself. And yet that’s exactly why Correia started down this road — see the first post in 2013, “How to get Correia nominated for a Hugo. :)”, and the follow-up post that initiated the Sad Puppies theme, “How to get Correia nominated for a Hugo PART 2: A VERY SPECIAL MESSAGE”. There was really nothing noble about it, in the beginning or later. (21) THERE ARE TWO KINDS OF PEOPLE. Jon Del Arroz, after studying the wildlife in its native habitat, offers his “Behavioral Observations In Science Fiction”. There’s two groups, the old guard burnout mentality, and the new indie pulp revolution. There’s a bit of a line up along political lines, but not as much as you’d expect, and in fact, that’s used as an excuse a lot of the time to poo poo the new. This is the state of science fiction today. I’ve talked about it briefly before, but here’s a broader look at the experiences I’ve had after engaging with both. You walk into social media, or a group, or a convention of what I called the “old guard”, they’e hesitant. They’re the type to complain that they’re introverts, having to recharge after social interactions (which is fine to be, but knowing that — why complain so often?). A new person is immediately greeted with a stand-offish attitude, like they have to vet you to make sure you’re “really one of them” or that you have to pay your dues to prove yourself somehow. They’re hyper-political. If you look at their social media posts, 70-90% of them are endless shrieking about politics they don’t like. They keep talking about how they’re too busy for anyone or anything — including the next generation of fans and writers. And this is all before they know that you’re on the “wrongthink” side of politics. (22) WE INTERRUPT THIS PROGRAM. The Coode Street Podcast will take a couple of breaks this year.

Photo by Luigi Novi.. By Mark Blackman: On the evening of Thursday, Sept. 8, 2016 (or Star Date [-27] 04610.00), the New York Review of Science Fiction Readings Series boldly commemorated the 50th anniversary of the premiere of Star Trek on NBC-tv with a stellar crew of writers reading from their or others’ Trek-related works and performing a comedic skit about Trek Fandom. (Fittingly, the day was as hot as Vulcan.) The event, opening the Reading Series’ 26th season, and held at its current venue, the Brooklyn Commons Café, located in the Alpha Quadrant near the Romulan Neutral Zone and the Barclays Center, was guest-curated by Keith R.A. DeCandido, the author of 16 Trek novels (several of them best-sellers), 13 novellas, seven short stories, six comic books, and the coffee-table book The Klingon Art of War, as well as articles, reviews and overviews on Star Trek. The voyage began with a welcome from producer/executive curator Jim Freund, longtime host of WBAI-FM’s Hour of the Wolf radio program on sf and fantasy, and giving a rundown of upcoming readings: On Sept. 27th (the last Tuesday of the month), readers will be N.K. Jemisin (“the award-winning N.K. Jemisin,” he beamed) and Kai Ashanti Wilson. Nov. 1st – all Souls Day, the day after Hallowe’en – will debut the Margot Adler Memorial NYRSF Readings Series, with Terence Taylor its first guest curator. (Margot was the original host of Hour of the Wolf; the Series’ topics might range from vampires – in her later years, she became addicted to the genre, reading 325 vampire novels, and, in fact, once guest-curated a NYRSF Reading spotlighting the creatures of the night – to Faerie to Wicca and psychology.) One of the readers on Tuesday, Nov. 15th will be Kij Johnson. Also reading in November will be Matthew Kressel, Alyssa Wong and Madeline Ashby. December will, as traditional, feature a Family Night, with readings by Ellen Kushner and Delia Sherman. Continuing, Freund plugged a variety of CDs from Skyboat Media for sale, including a 13-volume set of his interviews over the years, and, marking Star Trek’s 50th anniversary, Harlan Ellison’s full-cast original teleplay of “The City on the Edge of Forever” (which is not what aired on tv). He also noted that, as it happens, Gordon Van Gelder, the first curator of the NYRSF Readings Series, was born on the very date that Star Trek broadcast its premiere episode, “The Man Trap” (aka “The Salt Monster”). (Curiously, there was, I observed, what might be called a generation gap, with some in the audience – and even of the readers – having never seen the show in its original run and had watched it only in its syndication on local stations, demonstrating Trek’s enduring appeal. The other generation gap – between the classic and the subsequent series – never really arose.) In due course, Freund turned the podium over to guest host Keith DeCandido, who described himself as “a Star Trek fan since birth, having grown up watching the show in reruns on Channel 11.” (Coincidentally, he remarked, it was also the 47th anniversary of the premiere of the underrated animated series.) Star Trek, he extolled, gave us “a wonderful future,” where Earth – where humanity – had come together and was working together in space. It was the era of the Civil Rights Movement and the Cold War, and here were an African-American, an Asian and a Russian (not to mention an alien) as part of the crew. That diversity was an apt introduction to his pre-recorded interview with Steven Barnes. Barnes is a New York Times bestselling author who has written comic books, animation, newspaper copy, magazine articles, television scripts – from Stargate SG-1, The Outer Limits and Andromeda to Baywatch (that’s a fantasy, right?) – and three million words of published fiction (including the novelization of the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode “Far Beyond the Stars,” the alternate history Lion’s Blood, and collaborations with Niven and Pournelle), and has been nominated for the Hugo, Nebula, and Cable Ace awards, and received the Endeavor and the NAACP Image Awards. Regrettably, the recording was badly glitched (Keith probably forgot to open hailing frequencies before Skyping), and DeCandido was obliged (with profuse apologies to us and to Barnes) summarize his talk about writing and about race on ’60s tv. Barnes respected the intent of “Let That Be Your Last Battlefield” (Frank Gorshin and Lou Antonio in split black/whiteface), what they were trying to do, though it looks ridiculous now. (Isn’t that a satisfying sign of progress since?) He also discussed the importance of black characters equal with and alongside whites on Trek, Mission: Impossible and I Spy, and of having Benjamin Sisko (Avery Brooks) as a nonwhite lead on a genre show.

There being fewer technical glitches in a live reading, DeCandido introduced the first reader, David Mack, a New York Times bestselling author of roughly 30 sf, fantasy and adventure novels, including the Star Trek Destiny and Cold Equations trilogies, and the forthcoming Star Trek: Legacies, Book II: Best Defense, part of a new trilogy celebrating the franchise’s 50th anniversary. Mack’s offering departed from The Original Series as it was set in the Next Generation era several years after Nemesis. The Enterprise follows clues to a planet where someone has been cranking out copies of Lore – Dr. Noonian Soong, they learn, who has uploaded his consciousness into an android body. Soong is soon laboring to resurrect Data (B-4 may have Data’s memories, but not his “soul” or his emotion chip), even at the cost of his own existence. (Mack did a delightful Worf, by the way.) Next up was Emily Asher-Perrin, who described herself as a kid as “a great big geek who preferred to talk about robots and aliens and lightsabers and magic,” and who works on the internet, notably on Tor.com, “talk[ing] and get[ting] excited about all the science fiction and fantasy that she loves most.” She read a couple of scenes from Jean Lorrah’s The Vulcan Academy Murders; in the first, Kirk, Spock and McCoy are on Vulcan, and have joined Sarek and Amanda’s healer for dinner at an Italian restaurant (meatless, of course – vegan Vulcans, you know); and in the second, they are at a funeral (spoiler: no, not Amanda’s), where they encounter T’Pau, the Vulcan matriarch from “Amok Time.” During the intermission, people grabbed a bite (happily, the Commons Café did not offer gakh) and a raffle was held for a flash drive that might be called a mix tape, including miscellany like Shatner’s rendering of “Rocket Man” and bridge sound effects, and for two tickets to an astronomy lecture at the Intrepid on Saturday the 10th. The second half of the program opened with a comedic skit by another New York Times bestselling Trek novelist, Dayton Ward (who was not present). Set in a movie theater “somewhere in the U.S.” on June 9, 1989 where Star Trek V: The Final Frontier is about to begin, a group of Trek fans (the word “Trekkie” was never, never uttered all evening), played by Keith, David, Emily and Jim (typecasting) schmooze about – and one persistently pans – the year’s sf movies, and Batman. (Some ironic humor was derived from what we know about subsequent films.) Plus ça change … Finally, DeCandido, drawing from his “Federation version of The West Wing,” delivered the Federation President’s commencement address to Starfleet Academy in the wake of the events of Nemesis. The crowd of about 40 included Melissa C. Beckman, Catelynn Cunningham, Melissa Ennin (the landlady), Nora (NK) Jemisin, Barbara Krasnoff, John Kwok, Nora Larker, Mark W. Richards, Wrenn Simms, Ian Randal Strock, and Bill Wagner. As customary at these Readings, the Jenna Felice Freebie Table offered giveaway books, and copies of Trek books and stories by DeCandido and Mack were available for sale and autographs. As the evening concluded, various audience members hung around or adjourned to the Café.

Based on the original series. From Pocket Books. STAR TREK LEGACIES #1 Captain to Captain by Greg Cox Hidden aboard the U.S.S. Enterprise is a secret that has been passed from captain to captain, from Robert April to Christopher Pike to James T. Kirk. Now the return of the enigmatic woman once known as Number One has brought that secret to light, and Kirk and his crew must risk everything to finish a mission that began with April so many years ago… Nearly two decades earlier, April and his crew first visited the planet Usilde, where they found both tragedy and a thorny moral dilemma. Today, the legacy of that fateful occasion will compel Kirk to embark on a risky voyage back to that forbidden world—which is now deep in territory claimed by the Klingon Empire! by David Mack A debt of honor: One brave woman ventures alone into a parallel universe to save her old shipmates, exiled there decades earlier by a mysterious device called the Transfer Key. She soon learns the alternate universe harbors not just an alien invasion force, but a secret that underpins its very existence. A mission of peace: A long-awaited Klingon-Federation peace conference convenes, led by Ambassador Sarek of Vulcan and Councillor Gorkon of Qo’noS. But both sides have enemies who would prefer the two great powers remain at war—and who will do anything to make certain hate wins the day. An errand of justice: Captain Kirk and his crew seek the stolen Transfer Key that opens a door between universes, but their hunt is cut short by Ambassador Sarek’s plea for help. The Enterprise crew soon becomes targets in a deadly crossfire—one whose outcome will decide the fate of two universes. Purgatory’s Key by Dayton Ward and Kevin Dilmore Eighteen years ago, the Starship Enterprise thwarted an alien invasion from another universe, and Captain Robert April took possession of the interdimensional transfer device that made it possible. Since then, each captain of the Enterprise, from Christopher Pike to James T. Kirk, has guarded this secret with his life. Now, Romulan agents have succeeded in stealing the device and using it to banish Ambassador Sarek and Councillor Gorkon to an unknown realm in the midst of their groundbreaking Federation-Klingon peace negotiations. With time running out as interstellar war looms in one universe—and alien forces marshal in another—will Captain Kirk and his crew preserve the tenuous peace and reclaim the key between the dimensions?

Much of it was directed at a program title found to be offensive – “Spicy Oriental Zeppelin Stories.” During the afternoon the item was renamed “Outrageous Aviation Stories, Flying Pulp Oddities.” Other Twitter users complained that women are underrepresented in the overall count of writers mentioned by name in panel topics, as are fantasy works written less than 20 years ago. Sarah Pinsker discussed her concerns in a series of tweets, now collected on Storify. Here are some of the highlights of the conversation. SARAH PINSKER He also said he'd get rid of "perversely alluring" freaks, and attribute Victor LaValle's book to him. — Sarah Pinsker (@SarahPinsker) August 1, 2016 He wouldn't listen at all when I pointed out there were more mentions of Lovecraft in the program than all women or works by women COMBINED. He explained that "Spicy Oriental Zeppelins" was a fan in-joke, and I obviously didn't get it. I said it was racist & insulting to nominees. + @kijjohnson and @UrsulaV have written amazing award winning animal fantasy in the last few years. + + he said "Watership Down is recent compared to Aesop and Chaucer." AESOP AND CHAUCER. The modern field doesn't stand a chance. I tried giving him a chance. I wrote to him privately when I saw the programming draft and said "please change this."

But not one of the changes he promised is on the new list, so I'm not going to be quiet. It's an awful list, and WFC should be ashamed. But how much slack do you cut a con when they do this?

__label__cc	0.738528	0.261472	How to Define a Form Forms are defined using the Create a New Form page, or from one of the Examples pages. Forms can later be modified using the Edit a Form Definition page. This document describes the form definition inputs and options. (Please read at least the Required Fields section below, but after that you do not need to read and understand all of the other information now, since there are enough default values preset to create a simple but usable form, and when you are on the New Form or Edit Form page, you can click on any input prompt to return to this page for the specific details about that input. You may wish to proceed to creating a working form and then return to this page for more information about customizing the look of the form.) The Required Fields The fields marked with a red asterisk must always be entered when you create a new form. (From the Create a New Form page, if you enter only these fields then click the "Save Form Definition" button, you will get a standard e-mail feedback form. From any of the Examples pages, you will get the same form as that example.) Enter the required fields, then proceed to the optional specifications and input field definitions to customize your form, if necessary. Form ID This is the unique identifier for your form. It will be part of the URL to get to your form: "http://formmail.to/formID". Because it will be used in a URL, this field cannot contain any spaces or any "+", "&" or "%" characters. You can, however, use a "-" or a "_" as a word space, and you can use the "/" character, such as "myname/feedback" to distinguish that form from "myname/order". The maximum size for this field is 24 characters. Password To edit your form definition later, you will need the password entered here. Enter exactly the same password in each of the two boxes. (Since you will only see "" characters when you type in this field, the duplicated entry helps to catch errors.) The maximum size for this field is 12 characters. Send to E-mail Enter the e-mail address that is to receive the form data. You can enter a list of addresses, separated by commas. The maximum size for this field is 255 characters. Optional Specifications Some defaults will already set for some of these specifications, so you do not need to change these unless you want a customized look or a specialized form. Many of these specifications allow you to enter HTML "code". If you are not familiar with HTML but would like more control over form customization, you can find HTML information on the Web, such as this online HTML tutorial. Form Title The text entered here will be used as the HTML title for the page. Browsers will put this text in the window title bar. If you do not define any Top HTML, then this title will also be displayed at the top of the form as a default heading for the form. The maximum size for this field is 80 characters. Page <BODY You can enter any desired HTML <BODY> tag attributes in this field, such as BACKGROUND or BGCOLOR, TEXT, LINK, and VLINK to control colors of the main page, i.e. any HTML outside of the form. Tip: The color you set here with a BACKGROUND or BGCOLOR attribute will be the color of the main page around the form, but you can set the background of the form itself to a different color with a BGCOLOR attribute for the Form <TABLE specification, below. Likewise, the TEXT color that you set here controls the color of page text except for the form prompts, which can be set to a different color in the <FONT specification, below. The maximum size for this field is 100 characters. <FONT This specification allows you to specify the font attributes for the form text. For example, you can set the FACE attribute, such as "Courier New", "Times New Roman", "Comic sans MS". The user's browser may or may not have the specified font installed; it's generally best to use only the standard fonts shipped with Windows. You can give a list of fonts, separated by commas, and the browser will use the first one it finds installed. Another common attribute to set is COLOR. You can use certain HTML standard names, such as "RED" and "BLUE", or you can use the HTML numeric RGB specification, such as #000000 for black, #FF0000 for red, etc. The maximum size for this field is 80 characters. Top HTML You can enter additional HTML that will be displayed at the top of your form page. This might be an HTML heading (using <H1> through <H5> tags), a simple text greeting, an <IMG SRC="(url)"> tag to display your logo, a short description of the purpose of the form, links to your other pages or contacts, etc. There are certain internal variables that can be used in the Top HTML field, which will be replaced with their "current value" whenever the form is used. For example, %%today%% is replaced with the current date, and %%time%% is replaced with the current time. (Internal variables can also be passed as hidden form input Values.) Form <TABLE Your form will be generated as an HTML <TABLE>, and in this field you can specify optional <TABLE> parameters such as BGCOLOR, CELLPADDING, CELLSPACING, and BORDER. Tip: The color you set here with a BGCOLOR attribute can be different from the background of the page that's set in the Page <BODY specification, above. The maximum size for this field is 80 characters. Center form? If you click in this box (which inserts a checkmark in the box), then the form table will be centered on the page. (This is simply a convenience; you could instead use a <CENTER> attribute in the Top HTML or an ALIGN=center attribute in the Form <TABLE to do the same thing.) Box around form? If you click in this box (which inserts a checkmark in the box), then the form table will be displayed inside of a box. (This box is created with an outer HTML table around the form with a border, with only one row and one column, i.e., the form itself). You can set the Width and the Color of the box's border. The Width must be a number specifying the border's width in pixels, and the Color can be any standard HTML color representation (i.e., a standard color name, or a "#" character followed by six hex-digits, two each for the red, green, and blue components). The Padding setting specifies the number of pixels around the main form table, separating that table from the box's border, so larger Padding numbers effectively make this outer box bigger relative to the form table itself by putting more empty space around that table. Prompt <TD In the generated HTML table for the form input fields, the Prompt field identifiers will be placed inside HTML <TD> and </TD> tags. You can use this "Prompt <TD" field to specify optional attributes such as ALIGN, VALIGN, and BGCOLOR. These attributes will be used for all Prompts on the form. Tip: The color you set here with a BGCOLOR attribute can be different from the background of the page that's set in the Page <BODY specification, and also different from the form <TABLE BGCOLOR specification above, to make the background color used for just the prompts different from either of those colors. The maximum size for this field is 80 characters. Prompt above inputs? If you click in this box (which inserts a checkmark in the box), then the field prompts will be placed above the input boxes, instead of to the left. (If you select this option, you will probably want to set the Prompt TD attribute to ALIGN=LEFT instead of right, so the prompts and the input boxes will all begin on the left side of the form.) Section <TD You can divide your form into different sections using a special type of field: the "Section bar" Data Type. These section bars will be placed in special table <TD> tags, and you can use this field to control the attributes of those <TD> tags. For example, the default specification sets a background color of blue, and specifies an alignment of "center" for the section bar text, so you can change those for your form if you like. (There is also a COLSPAN=2 attribute that you should not change because there are always two columns in the form table and the section bar should span them both.) The maximum size for this field is 80 characters. Section <FONT This field defines the FONT attributes to use for the text in section bars (see above). For example, the default specification sets the font face to be the same as the default font face for prompts, and sets a color of white (which is readable for the default section bar background color is set to blue). The maximum size for this field is 80 characters. Use reCAPTCHA? If you click in this box (which inserts a checkmark in the box), then the form will include a "CAPTCHA" input box to prevent "spambots" from submitting your form. This will be a small box immediately above the the Submit button, showing two distorted words which the user will be required to read and enter to successfully submit the form. The words are distorted to prevent programs from easily interpreting them, so this is a test to insure that a human is submitting the form. FormMailTo uses the CAPTCHA provided by http://recaptcha.net, which is considered to be the most secure. If you check this box, you can also select one of the Languages supported by reCAPTCHA from the drop-down list and one of the Themes (color schemes). Submit Button This text will appear in the "submit" button at the bottom of the form. The maximum size for this field is 20 characters. Bottom HTML You can enter additional HTML that will be displayed at the bottom of your form page. There are certain internal variables that can be used in the Bottom HTML field, which will be replaced with their "current value" whenever the form is used. For example, %%today%% is replaced with the current date, and %%time%% is replaced with the current time. (Internal variables can also be passed as hidden form input Values.) 'Sent' Message This HTML will be displayed on the page following a successful form submission, before transfering to the "Transfer to URL". The maximum size for this field is 255 characters. Values Transfer to URL You can use this URL to send a user to another Web page after submitting your form (back to your home page, for example). This can be any valid "http://..." up to a maximum size of 100 characters. Attach CSV file? This option specifies that you would like to have a CSV ("comma-separated value") file containing the form data attached to the e-mailed message. CSV files can be opened directly as Excel spreadsheets or imported into MS-Access database tables, so they have become a "pseudo-standard" format for transmitting data in text files, which many other applications can take as input. There are two options available here, depending on whether or not you want the file to have a "column header" line. When the option for "Yes, with column headers" is selected, the CSV file attached to the e-mailed message will begin with a line listing the names of your input fields, followed by a line containing the user's entered data. If the "Yes, with no column headers" option is selected, just the data line will be in the file. Note that there are certain variations to the "pseudo-standard" CSV format, and the specific format used here is that all fields are contained inside of double-quotes characters (") and separated by comma characters, and any double-quote characters in the actual data will be replaced by a pair of double-quotes. If you have multiple-line (textarea) input boxes in your form, then the data fields for those boxes may contain new-line characters, so the file may actually have multiple lines for the single "data row". However, since those fields are still contained in double-quote marks, both Excel and MS-Access will recognize those as single fields and span the multiple lines up to the ending quotes. (Other applications may vary.) Note that when you elect either CSV attachment option, you will still get the standard e-mail message, with the input field names and entered data, and the CSV file is just added as an attachment. The file name for the CSV file will be your form name followed by an underscore character (_), then 14 digits representing a timestamp (4-digit year, followed by 2 digits each for month, day, hour, minute, and seconds, PST), followed by a dot and a uniqueness digit (in case you have two forms submitted in the same second), followed by the file type extension of ".csv". Windows-based mail readers will typically recognize the ".csv" extension by using Excel to open the attached file, unless you choose to save it to disk. SafeMail.To Method This option only appears for registered SafeMail.To forms. SafeMail.To messages can be sent using four different methods: 1) as HTML messages with an embedded JavaScript decryption function; 2) as encrypted Zip file attachments that can be opened and decrypted with a Zip file utility such as PKZIP or WinZip; 3) as encrypted Zip file attachments containing CSV files with column headers; or 4)as encrypted Zip file attachments containing CSV files without column headers. (The last two methods are similar to the CSV attachments described above for standard forms, except that the CSV files will be inside encrypted Zip files. That is, when you use PKZIP or WinZip file to open the attachment, you will see a .csv file inside, and that file can be unzipped with the form password.) Select the method you with to use by clicking one of these buttons. The default is to use the "HTML w/ JavaScript" option, which is actually the safer method, but if you find that your e-mail reader cannot recognize HTML messages or that it does not support JavaScript, you can try one of the Zip file attachment methods. (But note that your e-mail reader may simply have JavaScript disabled, and you may be able to enable it. Please see this help page for instructions for enabling JavaScript in some common e-mail readers.) Also, please see the "Important Notes" at the bottom of the SafeMail.To home page. This section defines the data input fields that will appear on your form, and which will be e-mailed to you. There are no fixed size limits for these fields, except that the total field definition size (i.e., all field values plus delimiter characters) cannot exceed 32 KB. There are three buttons on the left side of each field entry that you can used to manipulate the list of field entries. The button with the "^" character can be used to move a field up in the list, so it can be used to reorder the fields that you have already entered. The button with the "x" character can be used to delete a field entry. The button with the ">" character can be used to insert a new field into the list: The field at the selected location and all fields below it will be moved down one position, and a blank entry line will be inserted at that location. Prompt This text will be placed in front of the input box to identify the data requested from the user. This field can contain HTML tags. The Prompt is not required (for example, you might omit it from the second line of a two-line address), but if you omit the Prompt, you must provide a Field Name. If the first character of a Prompt is a "+" character, then the defined field will be placed on the same line of the form as the previous field. For example, if you wanted three fields, City, State, and Zip on one line, then the Prompts for the three fields would be "City", "+ State", and "+ Zip". Field Name This Field Name will be used in the generated HTML as the NAME="..." parameter of the <INPUT> tag. The Field Name (rather than the Prompt) will also be used to identify the data in the e-mail message. That is, the e-mail you receive will have a line labeled "Field Name:", followed by the user's data, for each field that you define on the form. The Field Name is not required if a Prompt is specified. In this case, the Prompt text will also be used as the Field Name. Cols The number entered into the Cols (columns) field will specify the number of characters (i.e., the SIZE="..." parameter) for the HTML <INPUT> box. (If you do not enter a number, the default will be 32 characters.) This number only controls the displayed width of the input box; it does not limit the number of characters entered by the user. Input boxes will scroll to the right if the user continues typing. (However, there is a maximum size of 8K bytes for any input field.) The Cols field is ignored for fields with a Data Type of "Select list", "Select multi", "Check box", "Hidden", or "No input". (The width of pull-down selection boxes is automatically determined by browsers from the size of the largest list item.) For Radio button data types, the Cols field can be used to control the placement of the selection boxes: If Cols is set to "1", then the Radio buttons will be displayed in a single vertical column. If Cols is set to "2" or more, then that number of buttons will be displayed on each line. To put all Radio buttons on a single line, set Cols to be equal to or greater than the number of button selections. (The default Cols size of 32 will generally put all buttons on the same line.) Rows If a number is entered in the Rows field, then the input box will be an HTML <TEXTAREA> (a multiple line entry area) instead of a single line <INPUT> box, and the number of lines displayed will be the given number. The Rows default is "1" (i.e., a standard <INPUT> box). A <TEXTAREA> option of WRAP="virtual" will be set, which will cause automatic "word wrapping" to the next line at the right side of the box. The Rows only specifies the number of lines to be displayed in the box. The user can continue typing past the last displayed line, and there will be a vertical scrolling bar on the right side of the <TEXTAREA>. Data Type This pull-down selection specifies either the type of HTML input box or the type of data allowed in the field. Click on the arrow key beside the box to see the list of Data Types, then click on the desired type to select it: Text - Ordinary text field, with no validations applied. (This is the default type if no Data Type is selected.) Alphabetic - Only alphabetic characters (A to Z or a to z) or spaces are allowed (e.g., useful for names). Alphanumeric - Only alphabetic characters (A to Z or a to z), or numbers (0 to 9), or spaces are allowed. Integer # - A "whole number" (i.e., no decimal point), with an optional "+" or "-" as the first character to indicate the positive or negative sign of the number. Floating #.# - A number with an optional decimal point and one or more digits following the decimal point. (An integer may also be entered in this type of field.) The number may also have a "+" or "-" sign indicator. 1/100s #.00 - Either an integer or a number with exactly two digits following a decimal point. (This data type can be used for dollars input, for example.) The number may also have a "+" or "-" sign indicator. E-mail addr - A standard e-mail address in the form of "account@domainname.hld" (where ".hld" is any "high level domain" such as ".com" or ".net"). Credit card # - A Visa, Master Card, American Express, Discover, or Diner's Club/Carte Blanche credit card number. The number may include spaces and "-" characters, but they are not required. You should make the input field at least 20 columns. Verifies the number format by checking the prefix, number of digits, and the "Luhn mod(10) check-digit". (NOTE: Only the validity of the card number format is checked, not the status of the credit card account. Validate s/ - A text input which is to be validated using the "regular expression" contained in the Value column. With this data type, the Value column does not contain a field initialization text. Instead, it should contain a regular expression pattern which will be used to validate the user's input. If the regular expression pattern is not found in the input, the user will receive an error page with the message, "(user's actual input) is not a valid entry for (Prompt)", and the entry will need to be corrected before the form will be posted.; Check box - An HTML <INPUT TYPE="checkbox"> field. When the user clicks in this box, a check mark will appear in the box. In the Value field, you can specify the value (such as "Yes") that will be sent with the form data if the user checks the box. This value will also be shown immediately to the right of the Check box. You can also specify a Value in the format of "value=label" (for example, "1=Yes"; the "value" will be the text value sent with the form, but the "label" will be the text shown to the right of the Check box. If you do not specify any Value, the default value sent with the form will be "on". If the user does not check a Check box, no data at all is sent for that field. Checked box - Same as above, except that the box is initialized as CHECKED and the user can click the box to unset it. Radio - A Radio "button" is actually a related set of check boxes, only one of which can be selected at a time. If the user clicks any of the unselected boxes, the selection marker will move to that box. The set of available Radio button selections must be specified in the Value field. In the Value field, the set of button values must be separated by the "\|" vertical bar character, such as "One \| Two \| Three". Like the Check box values, you can use the "value=label" format if you want the value sent with the form to be different from the text shown on the form for each button, such as "1=One \| 2=Two \| 3=Three". The Cols field can be used to control the placement of the selection boxes: If Cols is set to "1", then the Radio buttons will be displayed in a single vertical column. If Cols is set to "2" or more, then that number of buttons will be displayed on each line. To put all Radio buttons on a single line, set Cols to be equal to or greater than the number of button selections. (The default Cols size of 32 will generally put all buttons on the same line.) Select list - This Data Type creates a pull-down selection list, like the Data Type list itself. The list of available selections must be specified in the Value field. In the Value field, the selection list items must be separated by the "\|" vertical bar character, such as "Item One \| Item Two \| Item Three". Like the Check box values, you can use the "value=label" format if you want the value sent with the form to be different from the text shown in the pull-down list, such as "1=Item One \| 2=Item Two \| 3=Item Three". Select multi - Same as above, except that multiple selections are allowed if the user holds down the "Ctrl" key while making selections. (Holding down the "Shift" key while clicking on any two items selects all the items between those two.) Password - This is a "text" type of field, except that the user's input is not displayed in the box. Instead, a "" character is shown for each character entered. Hidden - Hidden fields are not displayed on the form, but they are sent with the form data that you will receive by e-mail. The value sent with the form will be the Value field entry, so a hidden field should always be given a Value. This type of input is most useful when the Value is one of the internal variables, such as "%%remote_host%%" to capture the user's host system or "%%http_referer%%" to capture the URL of the Web page that linked to the form. The Prompt and Note fields are ignored for hidden fields. Text, no edit - The Prompt, Value, and Note fields can be used to specify text that will be displayed. The Value text will be shown in the same table column as the input boxes, but the text will not be editable. (This might be used, for example, to simply help clarify or to identify the data requested in the following field.) No input - This selection means that no input field at all will be generated. However, the Prompt and the Note fields will be output. Therefore, you can use the Prompt or the Note fields to add a comment or a section "header" in the middle of the form, with no input box on that line. Section bar - This selection will insert a special table row that can be used to divide the form into different sections. The section bar text (i.e. the section title) will be the Prompt text only; the Value and Note fields are ignored. The background color and other attributes for this section bar can be set with the Section TD specification, and the font for the section bar text can be set with the Section FONT. (The default for these will make the section bar white text on a blue background bar.) Req * Click this check box if you want the field to be a required entry. A red asterisk will appear in front of the input box on the form. If the user omits a required field, an error page with the message, "(Prompt) must be entered" will be shown and the user will need to go back and enter something in the field. Tip: If you have any required fields, you may wish to include some text in either the Top HTML or the Bottom HTML to alert users that the red asterisk indicates a required field. Value This field can be used, as a convenience to the form user, to specify an initial value for a text field. The user can change this value if desired. The Value field also has special usage for certain Data Types, as detailed for those types. (For example, this is where you provide the list of values for a "Select list" or "Radio" type.) Note Any text entered in the Note field will be displayed on the righthand side of the input box. Use this field to note any special requirements or comments about the input field. For example, you might put "Required" as the Note for required fields, or you might document the expected format for special fields such as telephone numbers or Social Security numbers. This field can contain HTML tags. Two Special Input Fields You Can Use There are two special input fields that you may want to define for your form: Subject If you define a field with a Field Name of "Subject", then that field will be used as the Subject line of the e-mailed message. On the page to create a new form, there is an initial entry for Field Name "Subject" with a Value of "Form %%form%%". The %%form%% will be replaced with your form ID. You can change this Value if you wish to have a different Subject line for the e-mail. The initial Data Type for this field is set to "Hidden", so the user will not see (and therefore cannot change) the e-mail's Subject. If you want to make this field as an ordinary text input field that your users can enter, change the Data Type to "Text". Another useful option, especially for general "feedback" or query forms, is to make the Subject a pull-down list of choices that the user can select. To do that, set the Data Type to "Select list", then enter a bar-delimited list of choices in the Value column, such as "Question \| Comment \| Problem Report". Or you could set the Data Type to "Radio" and enter a bar-delimited list of choices in the Value column, and those choices will be shown as HTML "radio" style checkboxes (i.e., only one can be selected at a time). From If you define a field with a Field Name of "From", then that input will be used as the Reply-To e-mail header, which most mail reader software will recognize as the destination e-mail address for the "Reply" function. (The e-mail messages are actually sent to you with a From address of user@FormMailTo.com, which cannot be used as a Reply address to reach your user, but the Reply-To e-mail header allows the replies to go to a different address.) You should set the Data Type for this field to be "E-mail addr" and you may want to make it a required entry. The "Save Form Definition" Button When you have completed your form definition, click this button to save it. If there are any errors in the definition, you will receive an error message page. All detected errors will be shown, so that you can go "Back" and correct all of them in one pass. If the form definition is successfully saved, you will receive a page noting the URL and a "Click here to try it" link. Click that link to view and check your form. Editing a Form Definition When you enter a Form ID and Password on the "Edit a Form Definition" page, you will see a page like the original "Create a New Form" page, but with your form definition filled in. Make any desired changes and click the "Update Form Definition" button. "Regular Expression" Field Validation The Data Type "Validate s/" allows you to specify special input validations. This is done by entering a UNIX-style "regular expression" pattern in the Value field. If the user's input does not match the regular expression pattern, then an error message will be returned, "(user's actual input) is not a valid entry for (Prompt)", and the user will need to go "Back" and correct the entry. Regular expressions use "meta-characters" to specify the format of the input. The regular expression "meta-characters" that are supported are: ^ Beginning of string (i.e. the following pattern must match the string starting at character number 1). $ End of string (i.e. the preceding match must be at the end of string's value). . Match any single character. * Match zero or more occurrences of the preceding character or [...] character class. ? Match zero or one occurrence of the preceding character or [...] character class. + Match one or more occurrence of the preceding character or [...] character class. [...] Match a single character to any one of the characters in the specified list (a "character class"), such as [ABC]. [a-z] Match a single character to any one of the characters between the two characters separated by "-", e.g. [0-9] would be any digit, or [A-Z] would be any uppercase alphabetic. You can include several pairs in the same list, such as [a-zA-Z0-9] to match any alpha-numeric character. You can mix character ranges with lists, such as [ABC0-9] to match "A", "B", "C", or any digit. [^...] Match any character that is not specified in the list for the character class, such as [^a-zA-Z0-9] to match any non-alpha-numeric character. {n} Match the preceding character or character class exactly "n" times, e.g. [0-9]{8} would match exactly eight digits. {n,} Match the preceding character or character class "n" times or more, such as [0-9]{8,} to match eight or more digits. {n,m} Match the preceding character or character class at least "n" times but no more than "m" times, such as [0-9]{8,10} to match eight, nine, or ten digits. \| Pattern "or" separator. Match either the preceding pattern completely or the following pattern completely. May be used multiple times. \t The ASCII tab character. \r The ASCII carriage-return character. \n The ASCII linefeed ("new line") character. \ "Escape", take the next character "literally" as part of the pattern, not as a special character. For example, \* means the asterisk is in the pattern to be matched, instead of the meaning shown above. Use \\ to specify the backslash itself. Pattern Examples: A Social Security number has a particular format: three digits, a hyphen, two more digits, another hyphen, then four digits. This format can be validated with this regular expression: ^[0-9]{3}-[0-9]{2}-[0-9]{4}$ The "^" as the first character means that the remainder of the pattern must match starting with the first character of the input data. (Otherwise, a pattern can be matched anywhere within the input.) Most of your "Validate s/" patterns will probably require the "^" character (and the end-of-string "$" character) to avoid extraneous data before or after the matched pattern. Following the "^" is a "character class" of "[0-9]", which means to match any character between "0" and "9", inclusive, which is to say any digit character. Following the "[0-9]" is "{3}" which means that the preceding character (or in this case, a character class) is to be matched exactly three times. Following that is a literal hyphen ("-"), with no following qualifiers, so this means that a single hyphen must be present. The remainder of the pattern specifies that there should be exactly two more digits, followed by another hyphen, followed by exactly four digits. The "$" sign at the end means that the end of the data is expected immediately following the last four digits. Like the "^" at the beginning, this prevents any extraneous data in addition to the matched pattern. As a more complicated example, a standard US phone number has a three-digit area code, a three-digit exchange code, then four digits. But several different conventions are used for the format of a phone number, such as optional parentheses around the area code and hyphens or spaces between the groups. The following pattern will match any of the typical formats, while failing to match an invalid phone number: ^(?[0-9]{3})?[- ]?[0-9]{3}[- ]?[0-9]{4}$ Again, the "^" as the first character means that the remainder of the pattern must match starting with the first character of the input data. The next character, "(" is immediately followed by a "?" which specifies zero or one occurrence of the character (i.e., it is an optional character). Next, "[0-9]{3}" means that exactly three digits should be present. Then there is another optional ")". Following that, the specification "[- ]?" means that a single hyphen or space may or may not be present. Similarly, the rest of the pattern specifies a three-digit group followed by a four-digit group, perhaps with a hyphen or space between them. And again, the last character of the pattern, "$", means that the end of the input data is expected after the four-digit group, so this pattern will not match if extra characters or digits are entered. The pattern above will match any of the following phone number formats: (719) 555-1212, (719)555-1212, (719) 555 1212, 719-555-1212, 719 555-1212, 719 555 1212, 719 5551212, or 7195551212. The "$" end-of-string meta-character can be used by itself as a valid pattern for an optional field. (That is, an empty field will immediately match the end-of-data meta-character.) If a field is optional but must have a certain pattern if it is entered, you can use the "$" followed by the "\|" ("OR bar") separator, followed by the required pattern. For example, this pattern will allow an empty field but will validate that, if given, the input includes only "alphanumeric" characters (i.e., upper or lower case alphabetics or numeric digits): $\|^[a-zA-Z0-9]*$ Internal Variables There are some special variables that you can use in your form to dynamically insert values that are known to the FormMail.To program. These variables can be used in the Top HTML field to be displayed at the top of the page, or they may be used in a Value specification to initialize a form input field. (If you want to pass one of these variables with your e-mail message, but don't want the form user to see them, set the Data Type to "Hidden".) The Top HTML and the Value column are the only places these will work. %%today%% Current date in the format "Month DD, YYYY", where "Month" is the full name of the current month, "DD" is the one- or two-digit day of the month, and "YYYY" is the four-digit year %%date_short%% Current date in the format MM-DD-YYYY, where "MM" is the number of the current month, "DD" is the number of the day, and "YYYY" is the four-digit year %%date_ymd%% Current date in the format YYYYMMDD, where "YYYY" is the four-digit year, "MM" is the number of the current month, and "DD" is the number of the day %%year%% Current year, four digits %%month%% Current month, one or two digits. (Use %%format("0#", %%month%%) to force two digits) %%day%% Day number in current month, one or two digits (Use %%format("0#", %%day%%) to force two digits) %%monthname%% Full name of current month (e.g., "September") %%weekday%% Full name of current day of week (e.g., "Monday") %%time%% Current 12-hour clock time on the FormMail.To system, in the format HH:MMam or HH:MMpm, where "HH" is the hour and "MM" is the minute %%time24%% Current 24-hour clock time in the format HH:MM, where "HH" is the hour and "MM" is the minute %%http_referer%% The URL of the document that was used to link to the form %%remote_host%% Host that the user is running on (may be a node name, but commonly is just the numeric Internet address; no "reverse DNS lookup" is done) %%remote_addr%% Internet numeric address (nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn) that the user is running on Copyright ©1999-2007, InterAuction Services LLC.

Gary Patterson laughs at how stupid that sounds, but it felt necessary. His TCU team was down 31-0 to Oregon when he sneaked into his Alamodome office at halftime and quickly changed clothes. The black, long-sleeved mock turtleneck wasn't working. He turned to his purple, short-sleeved Nike mock turtleneck, a lightweight shirt that absorbs sweat and, evidently, absolves fear. Had to change visors, too, to make the new look match. And then his Horned Frogs scored 47 points, 38 of them in a row, and miraculously stunned Oregon 47-41 in triple overtime to steal a Valero Alamo Bowl victory Saturday night. TCU players celebrate winning the Valero Alamo Bowl in triple overtime after trailing 31-0 at the half. The comeback tied the bowl record set by Texas Tech in the 2006 Insight Bowl. Ronald Martinez/Getty Images Gotta be the shirt, right? "I will never wear black again," Patterson said with a smile. And he had to chuckle, because he'd done this a few months ago at Iowa State. He wore black and led 24-21 at halftime. He changed to purple and won 45-21. How could he make this same mistake twice? "You know, I'm trying to look thinner," Patterson joked. "At the end of the year, you're not in as good of shape. At least that's a good excuse." TCU would've had a lot of reasonable excuses for losing this game. The incomparable Trevone Boykin was gone, sent home after a bar fight and third-degree assault charge. Josh Doctson, the best receiver in TCU history, was too hurt to play. An impossibly long list of injuries should've wrecked this season a long time ago. The 31-point deficit had been understandable, almost justified. The Frogs had no business winning this one. Yet there they were, standing under a shower of confetti and balloons after pulling off the most insane rally imaginable. When the festivities were over, players snapped photos with fans and family. A few stepped on balloons, bursting them with their cleats. Doctson watched the revelry with as much pleasure as he felt when Patterson addressed the team at halftime. TCU is a proud program, Patterson preached, and the first half wasn't what this program is about. So decide to play. If you do, you've got a chance. "We checked ourselves as men," Doctson said. "Nobody wants to go out at the end of the year and get skunked." Added Patterson: "The key to the story is, you can't look around and blame anybody else." Across the field, Oregon endured its own dramatic change at halftime. Vernon Adams Jr. took off his pads and put on a hoodie. His marvelous day -- and college career -- were done after a hit to the head late in the second quarter. He didn't make it back to the sideline until early in the third quarter. By then, the Ducks were already in trouble. A 10-play drive for a TCU field goal. Oregon goes three-and-out. An 11-play drive for a touchdown. Oregon fumbles the kickoff. Another easy TCU touchdown. Now it's 31-17 and the Ducks are panicking. And, amazingly, Bram Kohlhausen is not. Good thing Patterson didn't change quarterbacks at halftime. Something finally clicked for Kohlhausen, the senior transfer who'd never started a game in his career, and there was no stopping him. "Nobody had a doubt that, at 31 points, we could come back," Kohlhausen said. He hit on 19 of 26 throws for 255 yards after halftime and scored four touchdowns, including the game winner on an option keeper that was as unexpected as his breakthrough. When it was all over, Kohlhausen shrugged like it was no big deal. "With their quarterback out, if we get something on the board and get a couple turnovers, defense plays well. ... I mean, 31 points was easy," he said. "I don't know about easy," Patterson interjected. "But I'll stick with him, because he did it." So did TCU's defense. Oregon backup Jeff Lockie was struggling to even catch snaps against the Frogs' swarming D. The Ducks could run only 18 plays in the second half. Net gain: 18 total yards. Each drive was stomped out as easily as all those postgame balloons. Still, this game had to go to overtime. And double overtime. And then triple overtime. For a team that won on a miracle tip at Texas Tech, needed a bomb to beat Kansas State and somehow stuffed Baylor in a monsoon in overtime, this was the masterpiece. By the time he was done celebrating, Patterson was simply too exhausted to contemplate it all on Saturday. Like everyone else who'd just witnessed one of the game's most unbelievable comebacks -- tying the bowl record set by Texas Tech in the 2006 Insight Bowl -- he walked off asking the night's impossible question. "How do you explain any of it?" Patterson questioned. "I mean, seriously, how do you explain any of it?"	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0096.json.gz/line178

African Reinsurance Corporation (Africa Re), a leading pan-African reinsurance company and the largest reinsurer in Africa in terms of net reinsurance written premiums has received the ‘2018 Outstanding Insurance Development Promoter Of The Year’ award of the National Association of Insurance and Pension Correspondents (NAIPCO). NAIPCO, a body of Insurance and Pension Journalist in Nigeria after a critical analysis of Africa Re’s immense contribution to the growth of insurance industry in Nigeria nominated the reinsurer for the award. The award was received on behalf of Africa Re by Ken Aghoghovbia, deputy managing director/COO of the company. “This award is in further recognition of your strong commitment to the development of insurance in the African Continent and Nigeria specifically exemplified by your recent partnership with the IFC, a member of the World Bank Group to help insurers in Nigeria develop innovative agricultural insurance products for small holder farmers, the organizers said. “Again next month between September 3rd and 5th you are partnering with the College of Insurance and Financial Management to train and build capacity for Nigerian insurers on product pricing and development, among other capacity building efforts you are doing in the Nigerian market.” “These are efforts that we believe will unlock opportunities in the agricultural sector for growth of the insurance business in Nigeria, and other business lines in the market,” the organizers said. From right: Chairperson, National Association of Insurance and Pension Correspondents, Mrs. Omobola Tolu-Kusimo, Deputy Managing Director/COO, African Reinsurance Corporation (Africa Re) Ken Aghoghovbia, receiving award of the 2018 NAIPCO Insurance Development Promoter Award from Mohammad Ahmad, Chairman of the NAIPCO 2019 National Conference in Lagos. Africa Re was set up by 36 African states in 1976, following a recommendation by the African Development Bank (AfDB), with the mission of developing the insurance and reinsurance industry in Africa through increased underwriting and retention capacities, and support to African economic development.

__label__cc	0.711838	0.288162	Snow obscured my view as my driver slowed the car on an icy curve. The road normally used to reach the Great Wall was closed due to winter storms, but my guide had suggested we try an alternate route to a newer section of the wall. We were close, he told me, but the wall was not yet visible through the white haze of snowflakes tumbling from an endless expanse of clouds that hung like sodden laundry over the winter landscape. And the driver was in no hurry. Not on that slick road. My mind whirled through mental snapshots of large crowds crawling in ant-like fashion along the Wall, and nearby vendors hawking postcards and souvenirs. Those were typical summer scenes when thousands of people visited the Wall each day. It didn’t seem likely that I would have to worry about such crowds now. I had arrived in Beijing in January. Not the best time of year to go sightseeing, but there I was. Snow covered everything. Soft, fluffy snow that reminded me of fields of rabbits’ pelts. Trees stretched their skeletal branches across a bleak sky. Local people bundled themselves in old, blue-grey Mao jackets to protect them from the cold. And it was cold! Still, my hosts wanted me to see their important landmarks, including the Great Wall. Not that I was complaining. The Great Wall had always been on my “must visit” list, and the prospect of finally seeing it sent fireworks of anticipation bursting through me. This was a structure that had first been built in the 7th century B.C. It was originally designed to protect independent warring states from one another. Later, it protected a unified China from Mongols and other invaders. Astronauts could even see it from space as it snaked in serpentine fashion four thousand miles across China’s verdant, rolling hillsides. To them, it must have looked like a giant reptile in search of its next meal. At last, we approached a small parking area near the base of a rocky hill, and I got my first look at the wall. It loomed above me in the snowy light like a timeless frigate riding atop a rocky wave. The popular section of the wall visited in the summer required visitors to ascend only a few steps to its ramparts. Not so here. I was going to have to climb a steep stairway the equivalent of three football stadiums to the cheap seats. Or not. Two guides with donkeys were waiting for me, and each offered to carry me to the top for a small fee. I had to admit the idea was appealing, but riding a donkey up to the Great Wall clashed with my sense of adventure. The Wall was something to be conquered, not served up on the back of a furry animal. I waved them off with a polite shake of my head, and began the steep ascent on foot. As I neared the halfway point, my legs were beginning to tire and my breathing was coming in more frequent puffs. My thoughts drifted to the two donkeys I had so cavalierly dismissed at the bottom of the hill. Maybe, riding to the top hadn’t been such a bad idea after all. Can you guess who was waiting for me around the next turn? Of course you can -- those same, eager guides with their donkeys. How tempting those beasts of burden looked to me now! I flirted with the idea of asking how much they charged for the remainder of the journey, if for no other reason than to confirm my suspicion that their rates had probably risen, now that I was tiring and out of breath. After a brief inner struggle, I resolved not to give up. I smiled at the men’s enterprise but resisted their urgent entreaties. I’d be darned if I was going to quit now. I kept climbing. When the top finally hove into view, I knew I had made the right decision. Rarely have I been so rewarded for my perseverance as I was that day. I stepped onto the Wall’s ramparts and was greeted by a deep, unfathomable silence. It was a top-of-the-world kind of silence. A silence that stretched back for centuries. Nothing moved in the falling snow. I was peering through a lace curtain of fluffy snowflakes at a world without a trace of mankind. Not one footprint could be found. Not one figure was visible. The air was as crisp as freshly harvested lettuce, and I inhaled several deep breaths to clear my mind. This must be what it’s like to summit a famous mountain, I thought. The Great Wall had become my Everest, and while my conquest was small, the exhilaration was just as real. In both directions the abandoned Wall undulated away from my vantage point across a landscape of ghostly foothills. Close up, its roughhewn, stone features stood in sharp contrast to the snow, but in the distance the ramparts blended with the gauzy hills and valleys until details grew vague, then disappeared altogether. Below me, a guard station had been built into the wall. Centuries ago it would have housed soldiers armed with swords and bows and arrows. Theirs must have been a lonely vigil, their days filled with boredom and tedium . . . until the enemy appeared. Imagine what it must have felt like to suddenly see marauding bands of Mongolian invaders swarming through the valleys towards the wall. Warnings would have sounded, alerting soldiers who hastily raced to the parapets and fit arrows to bows in anticipation of battle. Messengers from the guard house would have been dispatched requesting reinforcements. The longer I stood there, the more time bent away from me. I could hear the thundering hooves of the intruders’ horses, the heavy breathing of both rider and animal, and the bloodthirsty cries of would-be conquerors seeking pillage and glory; I could feel their consternation when they reined in their horses before those massive walls. What would have been their reaction, I wondered, when presented with such an impenetrable barrier? Bewilderment, surely . . . followed by frustration . . . then anger. Stomping horses churning the snow beneath their feet, defiant voices echoing off the massive wall, and raised weapons shaking in broad-knuckled fists would have had no effect. The leaders most likely gathered beyond the range of the defenders’ arrows to discuss options and plot strategies. War parties would have ventured forth to inspect the wall for weaknesses that could be breached. When nothing presented itself, scouts were likely sent off to search for less protected ramparts or a way around the wall. How many days would they have ridden before they returned with the discouraging news that the wall stretched into eternity? How long would it take for the marauders’ leaders to realize their only option was to turn around and ride away, defeated?	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0096.json.gz/line187
__label__wiki	0.587485	0.587485	By Lisa M. Wieland, Wabash Valley Astronomical Society (This article appeared in the March 2009 edition of the Astronomical League 's "Reflector" magazine. The text below is the orignal, before editing by the Reflector editor, but with slight editing by John Mahony. Pictures are at the bottom. A pdf file of the Sky Trekker booklet is here). Star Parties: attended in the summer or fall, planned in the winter or spring. All parties are similar, but ours, the Indiana Family Star Party (IFSP), a part of the Astronomical League's Great Lakes Region Conference, is different. If you're putting together a star party of any length from one night to a whole week, and you're looking for a new angle for it, take a look at our easily adaptable program! It puts the next generation of astronomers first and combats the “graying” of the hobby! The IFSP is held at the Prairie Grass Observatory (PGO) at Camp Cullom, a non-profit youth/scout camp located just northwest of Frankfort in Clinton County, Indiana. PGO has four telescopes that serve as the base of the facility: a 28” Dobsonian, a 16” Newtonian, a 16” Schmidt-Cassegrain, and a 7” apochromatic refractor. There is also a pair of giant 25/40 X 100 binoculars, and both hydrogen-alpha white light filters for solar observing through the telescopes. The main campground buildings are the air-conditioned Nature Center, which houses the restrooms and a small museum, and the Lodge, which houses on-site showers. Camp Cullom hosts approximately 160 sites for campers. Our event is hosted by volunteers from three different astronomy clubs from the surrounding region: the Lafayette-based Wabash Valley Astronomical Society (WVAS) , the Indianapolis-based Indiana Astronomical Society (IAS), and the Muncie-based Muncie Astronomy Club (MAC). For five years our planning committee struggled to get the star party established and to fulfill the vision of IFSP and PGO founder Russ Kaspar. Russ, a trained youth leader for the Boy Scouts, envisioned a star party with a “family-first” focus. Each year at the party, an introductory astronomy presentation was given, green lasers were permitted (as teaching tools), and sharing views through telescopes was encouraged so kids might enjoy looking at some deep space objects in the sky. Additional activities for kids included an AL-sponsored youth astroquiz and the amenities of the camp: the modern playground and picnic shelter, the mapped hiking trails, a prairie grass habitat tour, the Nature Center museum and bird-watching area, and all night movies with free popcorn and hot chocolate (and coffee too, for adults.) Yet, with all this, kids didn't really seem engaged with the party and something seemed to be missing. Russ wondered how we could take our star party to the “next level.” Reflecting on how my own daughter seemed to enjoy observing more if she could hold the green laser and use her own binoculars, I realized that we needed something more hands-on and more directly aimed at kids, so I decided to boost our kids' activities by designing an observing program just for them. The Plan: I felt that a program with a list of objects to find and certificates for achievement-sort of like a Messier Marathon-might be a fun star party activity, but, which objects and how many of them should I have them find? I knew that the Astronomical League had many different observing programs-even some aimed at young astronomers. Even though my own daughter was 13 and officially too old for the AL's “Sky Puppies” program (their cut-off age is 11), I went ahead and ordered a copy of their program booklet just to get some guidance. The AL's program involved finding 15 International Astronomical Union constellations and five deep space objects (with binoculars), and sketching a solar system object from a given list-all over a period of time of at least a year. Kids at our party would have just one or two nights! I needed to seriously pare down the requirements! I recruited fellow WVAS club member (and Secretary) Marilyn Sameh, who dubbed our program “Sky Trekker.” Together we arrived at the idea of six constellations being a good number for kids to attempt in one or two nights-but which six? Ursa Major seemed the natural place to start and I felt that concentrating on three constellations in the north and three in the south would be ideal, especially since there is so much to see in the Sagittarius-Scorpius region of the sky. I tried to choose constellations that had a wide variety of deep space objects and originally chose Ursa Major, Ursa Minor, and Draco in the north, and Ophiuchus, Sagittarius, and Scorpius in the south. A prototype booklet was presented to the planning committee at our June meeting; they immediately set about making much needed revisions and suggestions to put our program on the right track. First of all, the program would be split into two levels: Sky Trekker I for absolute beginners who wanted to focus their efforts entirely on constellation identification, and Sky Trekker II for kids who wanted to try telescopes and binoculars. Next, it was decided that strict adherence to the IAU constellations wasn't necessary: we would accept some common asterisms as being good enough, e.g., the Big Dipper in Ursa Major would be sufficient, as would “the teapot” in Sagittarius. WVAS President George Wyncott suggested replacing dim Draco and Ophiuchus with bright Cassiopeia and Cygnus, forming a link between the northern and southern skies. John Mahony (WVAS) revamped my deep space objects list, attempting to make it more small-telescope and binocular friendly. Alan East (also WVAS) advised me on the double-stars list. Alison Hind (MAC) suggested that a few named bright stars from the chosen constellations be added to the requirements for both, so this was done too. Some detail issues arose: First what age-range should we set for participants? Since booklets and, therefore, reading were a part of the program, we decided the typical kindergarten/first-grade age of 6 should be the lower limit. To include as many young people as possible, we stretched the upper age limit to 18 to include anyone in grades K-12. If younger children who could read requested to participate, we would go ahead and include them as well. Second, should we limit Level II kids to small telescopes and binoculars? I originally thought we should stick close to the AL's approach and allow only binoculars, or expand their program slightly and allow telescopes of apertures of 6 inches or less. My daughter was adamantly opposed to this plan. She had seen the huge telescopes that were brought to the star party and argued, “What if a big scope like that is all a kid has? Should a kid be disqualified from the program just because he doesn't have a small telescope, but knows how to handle a large one?” I had to admit that wouldn't make sense, so all restrictions upon optical aide-except GOTOs which were prohibited-were dropped. In fact, when I thought about it, I realized it wouldn't matter if several kids shared a telescope, as long as they could find things on their own with it. This would mean that Sky Trekker II judges might have to travel out to someone's campsite, but I thought we could still make it work if we tackled the naked-eye viewing portion of the program first. Third: Should we include deep space objects from constellations outside those on the list, e.g., technically, M11, the Wild Duck Cluster, is in Scutum, not Cygnus, so should we skip brighter, easier to find objects just because their constellations were not on our list of ones to locate, or confine ourselves to harder-to-find objects within the borders of constellations on the list? In the end, we decided to go with brighter objects from constellations outside the list and to stipulate that Sky Trekker II kids should already have some binocular/telescope experience and be familiar with more constellations than were listed. This dampened my dream of having a few telescopes and binoculars available to kids who might want to try using them, but it was either go this route or go with hard-to-find objects best suited for instruments of large, rather than small, aperture. The final booklet contained kid-friendly definitions of constellations, asterisms, globular and open star clusters, nebulae (planetary, reflection, emission, absorption and supernova remnants), double stars (binary and optical doubles) and galaxies (spirals, ellipticals, and irregulars). It also had star map practice pages (generated with E. C. Downey's XEphem software) of Ursa Minor and several flanking polar constellations, Cygnus and the constellations in its immediate vicinity, and Sagittarius and Scorpius with Scutum, Libra, and decent dollops of Ophiuchus and Serpens thrown in-all with and without constellation lines drawn in: the lines would be shown on one page, then after turning that page, a map of the same region would appear without the lines so kids could practice looking for the constellations during the day. The Sky Trekker I checklist included the Big Dipper, Little Dipper, Cassiopeia, Cygnus, Sagittarius “teapot”, and Scorpius, as well as Polaris, Deneb, and Antares. The Sky Trekker II naked-eye checklist included these same constellations and stars, plus Vega, Altair, and the Summer Triangle. Sky Trekker II Deep Space categories included Globular Clusters (M3, M5, M13, M15, and M22), Open Clusters (M6&7, M11, M23, M25, NGC 869 & 884, and M52), Double Stars (Albireo; θ Cygni; Alcor & Mizar; δ, ε, and ζ Lyrae; 15 Aquilae; and κ Herculis), Nebulae (M8, M17, M20, and M27), and Galaxies (M31, M51, M101, and the Milky Way, which was included in case the seeing wasn't very good). “Trekker II” kids needed to find only three of these, each from a different category. A page was also provided for Level II kids to sketch a solar system object of their choice from a given list of three: Jupiter and as many of its four Galilean moons as could be seen, the young moon of August 2, 2008, or sunspots (if there were any). The inside back cover provided further definitions of terms found in the booklet: light-year, solar mass, galactic plane, magnitude, atoms, hydrogen, helium, and light speed. The Greek alphabet was also listed, as were the abbreviations for most of the constellations in the summer sky. To further augment the program, we wanted to include a free planisphere to every kid who signed up. We were running an educational effort here and this way, even if a child didn't find all of the constellations during the party, s/he could take home a tool that would help her or him later at home. We managed to find inexpensively priced classroom supply planispheres (in bulk) to make this happen. Every kid who completed the program received a Sky Trekker certificate and pin, and, as a further incentive, an ice cream treat. Ice cream turned out to be a powerful motivator for encouraging kids to sign up! To engage younger kids in the party, and/or siblings uninterested in joining the Sky Trekker program, Marilyn and I decided to host an astrocraft. Marilyn researched many astronomy-related craft projects for me and we finally chose a “make your own planet Saturn” craft, which involved cutting 2” Styrofoam balls in half, gluing the halves to either side of a CD, and then decorating the resulting ringed planet with colorful glitter glues. In addition to the craft, we also added to the outdoor activities list: Camp Ranger, Hoppy Bray (also a trained youth leader), set up the camp volleyball court for us, and, since late July in the midwest tends to be sultry, we set up a misty-type sprinkler as a way for kids to cool off. Our plan was now complete! The Party: When the party was originally planned, the Sky Trekker program was given a piece of camp real estate on the north side of the Nature Center separate from the main observing field. We had figured on kids gathering here to learn and be tested on their constellations, and we had thought level II kids could bring their small telescopes and binoculars here to take their tests as well. However, with the changes made to the Trekker II program and the way it would now work, I knew as the party began that I didn't have enough judges. I had only myself, Marilyn, and Thad Hatchett of IAS and while three people could have probably coped with observers who were all in one area, more people would be needed if judges had to travel out to various campsites. Like most astronomy clubs, all three host societies had only a small core of active members to recruit from and just about everyone I could tap from every club already had an assigned star party task. I was fortunate that Terry Rhoades of MAC agreed to be a judge, and even more fortunate that a friend and former WVAS club member, Mike Abell (now in Ohio) got on board as well. I was pleasantly surprised when one party attendee majoring in education, Patrick Craig, asked if he could get involved in the program; he was given the job right away! The first night, we had only 12 kids sign up. Some of those ended up pulling out because they didn't meet the age requirements, and some didn't show up because of the lateness of the hour for the program (true darkness didn't set in until about 10:30 p.m.). After listening to Thad's Beginning Astronomy presentation, the kids eagerly gathered on the lawn to take green lasers in hand to learn their constellations and be tested. In the end, eight completed the first night, only three of which were Trekker IIs. On Saturday afternoon at 2:00 p.m., Marilyn and I ran the astrocraft at the Lodge. Only about six or seven kids participated in this, but they had a good time and best of all, as they sat and painted and shared glue bottles, they started talking to one another and making friends. They developed some elaborate game based on Greek mythology that they ran to the playground to start playing the minute they got done with their planets. It was great to see these new friendships starting up between kids at the star party! By Saturday night we had 22 kids signed up for the Sky Trekker program-all at level I! I was worried about this number, especially since I was losing a judge-Marilyn could not be there this night. To take her place, I recruited Micah Larson, a 14-year-old scout and avid observer who had just qualified for his Sky Trekker II certificate the previous night! He accepted this promotion, and everything went well on our second night. I even set up my small Edmund Astroscan reflector for kids to try out after the exams. Only one or two took advantage of this opportunity, but that's largely because I didn't have time to staff my telescope until all Trekker exams were over. Our goal was for everyone who signed up to have some fun, pass the program, and get their rewards. By the end of Saturday night's session, 15 of the 22 kids who signed up had completed the program, and one who'd signed up Friday night completed second-day rather than same-day, for a total of 16. All were level I. Overall 34 kids signed up for the program and 24 completed (3 level II; 21 level I). One of those who did not complete became ill and left the camp; his siblings left with him. Some did not complete, again, because of the lateness of the hour. All of those who participated had a great time. The most impressive and inspiring part of these educational observing sessions was the interaction between parents and their kids. I had sort of expected parents at the party to shuttle the kids over to the Sky Trekker program for the leaders and judges to entertain for a while, but that's not at all what happened! Parents attended the sessions with their kids, some just as interested in learning as their kids, some very sky-savvy in their own right and helping their own kids and others. Green lasers were borrowed and passed around, constellations and stars were learned, and everywhere-in a tremendous collaborative effort-people were helping each other get to know the sky. The adult portion of the star party included presentations on topics such as Globular Clusters in the Milky Way, Nuclear Fusion research, Polishing the Aspherical segments of the European Southern Observatory's Extremely Large Telescope, Astronomy at the Rose Hulman Institute and Oakley Southern Sky Observatory, and Asteroid Hunting. The Sky Trekker Program was like a smaller star party for kids and families, within the regular star party, that really became the heart and soul of our event. Planning your 2009 star party? Don't forget the kids! Emphasizing family at a star party is a good thing. It gets the kids away from Game-Boys and TV sets for a while, and puts them back in touch with their parents, nature and the sky. It brings the next generation of observers and scientists up into astronomy, preserving this great hobby for years to come. Julia, Alex, and Rachel display their completed astrocrafts.

__label__cc	0.674937	0.325063	INC - PGI Chandigarh PGI Workshop on Costing of Health Care Services in India Chandigarh,10.12.19-The Department of Community Medicine and School of Public Health began a four day National Workshop on Costing of Healthcare Services from December 10th-13th, 2019 in collaboration with Department of Health Research, Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India.The workshop is the third in its series for capacity building in health system costing, an emerging area in the field of public health. The workshop is being done as part of a large national study being carried out by PGI in collaboration with the DHR to estimate the cost of packages under Ayushman Bharat PMJAY Scheme, informed Dr Shankar Prinja who is the Additional Professor of Health Economics at PGI. He further informed that the study is being done in 14 states of India and covers nearly 100 hospitals from both public and private sector. Prof Arun Kumar Aggarwal, who inaugurated the workshop stated that healthcare costing is a very important domain in the field of public health and the trajectory of professional growth of participants of the workshop is going to be phenomenal. He welcomed the participants comprising of senior researchers, academicians and faculty members from NEIGRIHMS Shillong, Meghalaya, PGIMS Rohtak, Haryana and SSMC, Rewa, Madhya Pradesh. The workshop holds significant importance in view of the Government of India’s Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana, which requires adequate information on cost of various treatments/procedures for making informed choices and determining the package rates for the same. In CHSI Phase I,840 packages were costed and in the current phase II all the remaining packages under AB-PMJAY will be costed across 14 states. Currently, there is a paucity of evidence on health system cost of service delivery in India. The evidence generated on cost of healthcare services will have multiple potential uses like undertaking health technology assessment studies, efficiency assessment, scale up of healthcare services and designing benefit package for universal health coverage.

__label__cc	0.583001	0.416999	Jennifer Greidus © 2017 Jennifer Greidus I bused tables on Saturday nights at Fancy’s Bar. Place was busy all the time. Draft beers were cheap and they fried a mean pickle. It was a favorite haunt, even for folks a few towns over, cause the women who ran there didn’t want to get married. Sometimes there was karaoke. Sometimes we had locals tell jokes on the small stage, or maybe folks played a song or two up there. It was the only place in town where fish sticks went nicely with your five-dollar sirloin. If you wished it any, the waitresses could get you a cocaine nosebleed to go with your dinner salad—just cabbage and a whole carrot, really. The manager was a guy named Trent. Matter of fact, Trent had given me a couple blowjobs when I was twelve and he was nineteen. He never made me shoot but he tried hard at it. I heard later he had a thing for peeing. But that’s besides the point. After most of the employees left, Trent came up to me and said I owed him for the couple who ordered a rabbit-claw combo platter on number seven and ditched the check. I said, “Uh-uh, no way. First of all, it ain’t even real rabbit. It’s five-cent chicken wings.” (No one would eat a rabbit foot anyways. No meat on it.) True, I had watched the newlyweds walk out without spotting any of their cash hit the red-checkered, rickety-sticks table two feet from the stage. True, I didn’t do nothing about it. Maybe that was Trent’s real problem. He pulled me into the kitchen, talking about insubordination, which was a word I heard a lot at school. The kitchen was where we fried things, but it was also where the busboys threw dice and smoked cigarettes they rolled themselves. I even once watched a mom-type waitress with a harelip and a fat bottom handy some guy by the freezer for, no shit, eighty-five cents. Snickers bars are eighty-five cents. Anyways, Trent said to me, “I take it out of your tips, or I take it out of your ass.” At first, I thought he meant he was taking me into the alley and giving me a beat down, but then I realized what he meant. If I wasn’t gonna give him cash, then I needed to give up my ass. Which I’d never done before. But I thought about it a lot. My fake aunt Deesy once told me I was gay, and I thought she was probably right for the way I looked at guys’ feet and mouths. But in the kitchen that night, I didn’t feel gay when I looked at Trent, not the way I felt gay when I looked at Jake, the line-cook who stood next to him. He was the only one there with us, pulling on his jacket and getting ready to go home. Jake was handsome alright, but Deesy told me he didn’t know a day at the races from cunnilingus. She told me that word was Latin and only mattered to women. He’d put his tongue in her vagina behind the oiled bar where no one ever used soap on the glasses, and he did a piss-poor job at it I guess. But it’s cunnilingus so I didn’t have to worry about that. When Trent followed up his threat with a fistful of my t-shirt and a tug toward the office door, Jake gave me the eye. I gave Jake the eye back. I knew Trent got Jake’s sister pregnant and made her have an abortion and now she couldn’t have any babies at all. And I knew Trent acted like he was some big-city extortionist by taking half of Jake’s check cause Jake once fucked a fourteen-year-old girl after a basketball game. Anyway, there’s no point in caring about that now. All I can say is Jake and me were suddenly in sync. Was one of those things I knew was gonna happen long before I watched it happen but I didn’t really think too much about what it really meant until Jake got it done. The cast-iron skillet cracked the skull of our greasy, greedy, dive-bar manager, who dropped to the tiles, sounding like someone was falling down stairs and not just crumpling up on a dirty kitchen floor. Jake and me didn’t even bother to give it a moment of silence. There was a piece of skull on the skillet. We knew it was skull cause we both touched it. It was like touching your own tooth except not as smooth. Then we looked at my shoe and decided it was a dime-sized spot of brain sitting there, right next to my laces, looking like my snot did after riding dirt bikes all day. We guessed it was brain but it coulda been anything rotten from the kitchen. By this time, Jake was rambling and talking about his options. Which there were none. He could run, but he had nothing to take with him. He said to me, “Eat that off your shoe, and I’ll let you take home the whole drawer.” By which he meant the cash drawer, and by which I thought, no, I can’t do nothing like that. Jokes were all Jake had left I think. We closed up and split the take. He was gonna blow his half on twelve hours of speed, weed, and beer. I was second-guessing what I needed to do to get Jake’s share of the cash. He was too big to fuck with. I still had the brain on my shoe, so I bent over and scooped up the whitish-gray with my middle finger. I grabbed Jake’s shoulder to stop him from getting too far with what would be my money and sucked down the jelly like it was no problem.	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0096.json.gz/line199

One component of this cascade, the MAP kinase kinases (MAPKK), has not yet been shown to be induced in plants following biotic attacks, such as those by insects and fungi. We describe here a gene coding for a blast (Magnaporthe grisea)- and insect (Nilaparvata lugens)-responsive putative MAPK kinase, OmMKK1 (Oryza minuta MAPKK 1), which was identified in a library of O. minuta expressed sequence tags (ESTs). Two copies of OmMKK1 are present in the O. minuta genome. They encode a predicted protein with molecular mass 39 kDa and pI of 6.2. Transcript patterns following imbibition of plant hormones such as methyl jasmonic acid (MeJA), ethephone, salicylic acid (SA) and abscisic acid (ABA), as well as exposure to methyl viologen (MV), revealed that the expression of OmMKK1 is related to defense response signaling pathways. A comparative analysis of OmMKK1 and its O. sativa ortholog OsMKK1 showed that both were induced by stress-related hormones and biotic stresses, but that the kinetics of their responses differed despite their high amino acid sequence identity (96%).

__label__cc	0.707724	0.292276	When feminism is incompatible with skepticism #2 April 4, 2014 April 4, 2014 Justin Vacula blogosphere, gender, philosophy Photo: Getty Images/DiatoZen A response to a recent piece titled “TIME Magazine is Wrong. Rape Culture Does Exist” published in The Humanist by feminist Ashley Jordan I will not discuss all of the problems within Jordan’s piece within this page (There is so much wrong packed into this one post, I could write an entire novel-length systematically dismantling everything that’s wrong with it. But I don’t have time or energy for that today…), but will discuss problems concerning Jordan’s assertion that wondering whether victims of rape are telling the truth is evidence of and/or promotes ‘rape culture.’ Jordan defines rape culture as “an environment in which rape is highly prevalent, normalized and excused by society’s media, popular culture and political figures […] perpetuated through the use of misogynistic language, the objectification of women’s bodies, and the glamorization of sexual violence, which creates a social culture that disregards women’s rights and their safety.” Mere wondering whether people who allege to be raped, according to Jordan — as it seems from her piece — is evidence of and promotes ‘rape culture.’ Jordan’s wording, “wondering whether victims of rape are telling the truth,” is problematic because she assumes women [note that her definition of rape culture specifically mentions women and excludes men – intentionally or unintentionally ‘erasing’ male victims of rape] who make allegations of rape are victims of rape just because they say they are; the use of the word ‘victim’ betrays a bias within Jordan – that hearing testimony is enough for Jordan to believe someone actually is a victim – regardless of any evidence supporting allegations or demonstrating innocence of the accused and that, which must follow, that an alleged rapist really is a rapist – all on mere testimony. Photo: Getty Images/Todor Tsvetkov Jordan could instead write about — and rightfully criticize — people who hastily dismiss claims of rape without sufficient reason to do so, but does not. Wondering whether someone is a victim of rape is not hastily dismissing claims of rape or “disregarding women’s rights and their safety,” but rather is a reasonable response to a very serious allegation. One may wonder and later believe someone who claims to be raped [upon obtaining sufficient evidence], for instance; wondering and hastily denying are not equivalent. Skeptics — those who, at the very least, should withhold judgment about a claim if there are no salient reasons to believe a claim — should ‘wonder’ about allegations of sexual assault and even ‘trust, but verify‘ when this is deemed appropriate (and the burden of proof, by the way, is on a person making a claim – one need not ‘disprove’ something if there is no evidence to ‘prove’ it. A bearer of information, though, can be an unreliable source – especially people who claim to have been raped but have a history of false allegations and behavior which would diminish one’s credibility. A story about sexual assault may, for instance, lack credibility if the person claiming to be assaulted contacts the alleged perpetrator following the alleged rape claiming they enjoyed themselves, wanting to arrange future meetings, etc. Even when there is no reason to actively doubt or outright deny a claim, it is good practice to withhold a judgment until evidence — something much more than mere testimony — supporting a claim is offered, especially when the consequences of holding a belief are dire. Allegations of rape, for instance, can lead to extreme consequences…even if a person accused is later found to be not guilty and/or the person making an allegation retracts an allegation (people often remember allegations and fail to notice/not remember retractions and false claims). Photo: Getty Images/ Meriel Jane Waissman Once again, as is usually the case, a feminist casts people who actively question their beliefs as horrid. Disagree with, question, or even wonder about the ‘approved mode of thinking’ and you are a ‘rape apologist’ misogynist who disregards women’s rights and their safety. Rather than having a productive conversation or discussing ideas, feminists often attack people – attempting to dismiss them from a discussion. Sadly, reasonable conversation with feminists like Ashley Jordan (although she may ‘prove me wrong’) is next-to-impossible because, as I mentioned, personal attacks are the order of the day and discussion is absolutely refused despite open and honest invitations to have discussion from those who dare to disagree [or wonder]. One feminist, Amanda Marcotte, in a stunning dishonest display, even released her own debate challenge but then refused to honor it. As a skeptic, I am willing to change any and all of my beliefs if provided sufficient argument, evidence, and reason to do so. Jordan, though, and her approach to feminism, do not allow for this. I am willing to revise my beliefs about Jordan and her approach to feminism. The ball is in your court, Jordan. I doubt a response will come, though. I wonder… P.S. Donate to Ben Radford’s legal fund ($2065/$10,000 at time of this posting) and see his page ‘Response to Stollznow Accusations.’ You’ll be glad you did. Please help a skeptic in dire need.

The front motor turns the front wheels through a fixed ratio. Juice for the motors is stored in a lithium-ion battery mounted behind the seats. No specs on the pack. Porsche gave the car four modes. E-Drive is for tooling around under electricity alone, and you’ve got a range of 16 miles. Choose Hybrid Mode and you’re using gas and electricity as the circumstances dictate. Sport Hybrid mode tips the gas-electric equation in favor of performance, sending most of the power to the rear wheels and using torque vectoring to keep things under control.

The Carrie Effect — Maggie Gallagher I believe I was the first person, in the National Review cover story “The Carrie Effect,” to publicly credit the impact of Carrie Prejean. Pre-Carrie, even most conservative media outlets avoided gay marriage. Carrie gave Fox News and major radio talk show hosts a vehicle for talking about the issue that they understood and liked. The general public was exposed to the truth that the majority continue to oppose gay marriage and that gay marriage advocates are not about tolerance but about imposing their views and punishing dissent, I argued. But now, a polling expert, Patrick Murray, founding director of the Monmouth University Polling Institute, agrees about the Carrie Effect: “So what momentous event occurred in April 2009 to cause this shift in opinion? It was the Miss Universe contest, when Miss California, Carrie Prejean, announced that she was personally opposed to gay marriage. The ensuing media storm was fast and furious, with the number of press articles on gay marriage doubling during those weeks.” (He opines that public opinion has since reverted, but offers no specific numbers.)

The event is free and open to the public. Ahmad, founder of South Asian rock band Junoon, which sold 30 million albums, is making his third appearance at the University of Kansas since 2002. He will speak to the University Scholars’ Rhetoric of the Nobel Prize class about his experiences performing at the Nobel Peace Prize Concert in 2006 and 2008. He also will meet with student groups during his two-day visit to campus. His wife, Samina, who also is a physician, will present a brown bag talk at 12:30 p.m. Thursday, March 11, in the Sabatini Multicultural Resource Center on her work with women and children in South Asia. The event is free and open to the public. “Rock and Roll Jihad” is an autobiographical look at one person’s attempt to use music to bridge cultural differences. Junoon performed a benefit concert for victims of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks in October 2001 in New York. The band’s first English language single, “No More,” was dedicated to the victims. Junoon created controversy among political and religious leaders for playing a concert in India and using a line from the Quran in one of their songs. A BBC/PBS/WideAngle documentary titled “The Rock Star and the Mullahs” chronicled the controversies. The Ahmads’ visit is sponsored by the University Honors Program, International Programs, International Student Association, Pakistani Student Association and Emily Taylor Women’s Resource Center.

IST 205 Survey of Information Systems is one of the six required courses in the business minor. The online offering of IST 205 will be conducted entirely on Blackboard and will be first made available to non-Lawrence students. “This is the first online course in the School of Business,” said Mark Best, lecturer in business. “We’re hoping to give more flexibility to students at the Edwards Campus or students hoping to transfer credit to other schools.” Students will use Blackboard, a Web-based classroom environment, to gain hands-on practice in information systems technology. IST 205 online will cover a range of topics, including computer software and hardware, databases, e-business and e-commerce, Microsoft Excel and information security. “Students interested in taking IST 205 online will have to be motivated and responsible in order to complete assignments on time,” Best said. “They will be able to test out the theories we discuss in the course. I’ll be doing some live online meetings with students and using the Wiki tool and discussion board on Blackboard to enhance communication and student collaboration.” Although IST 205 is the only class available online, the School of Business plans to add more online classes in the near future, including at least one graduate course. IST 205 online will be restricted to non-Lawrence students until Aug. 1. Students interested in taking IST 205 online must contact Continuing Education at (785) 864-5823 for enrollment information.

__label__cc	0.681244	0.318756	Monckton returns to Australia, book now… :-) » « James Lovelock partly recants Each electric car could add costs of $2000 per year for “our” electricity network What was that Ms Gillard said about not wanting to “gold plate” our electricity networks? The Australian Energy Market Commission (AEMC) released a warning in December that electric cars will cost a lot more than just the purchase price and the electricity: Electric vehicles in particular are another new “appliance” which is set to place new demands on Australia’s power system. This review has found that each electric vehicle could impose additional network and generation costs from $7500 up to $10,000 per vehicle over the 5 years from 2015 to 2020 in the absence of appropriate pricing signals and efficient charging decisions. Who pays for the extra generation capacity? You do. AEMC Chairman, John Pierce, said today that each electric vehicle could result in additional generation and network costs that, under current market arrangements would be shared by all consumers. AEMC recommends several ways to split up the pricing, sort our metering so houses can figure out what was “the car” and what was “the house”. Me, I recommend we charge the EV owners the real cost, and let the free market do what it does best. The AEMC last word — it’s easy to sell natural gas cars: The final advice concludes that no significant changes need to be made to market arrangements to cater for the uptake of natural gas vehicles. I just wish I could buy my electricity from a generator which produces not-for-car-electrons… As it is, it takes so much energy to make those big electric-car batteries, that people who own an electric car need to drive about 130,000 km before they even start saving any CO2. It’s quite possible that electric vehicles might produce more CO2 over their lifetimes than the equivalent petrol powered cars does. Not to mention that electric car factories are more toxic than normal car factories and that electric cars were deemed to be worse for the environment in a study by The Norwegian University of Science and Technology. The best thing about electric vehicles is that in Australia, almost no one buys them. We have 15 million cars on the road, and in 2011 only 49 new cars were electric. That’s nearly one new one each week… h/t Scott the energy trader Electric cars are worse for the environment Each electric car could add costs of $2000 per year for "our" electricity network, 8.6 out of 10 based on 60 ratings The short killer summary: The Skeptics Handbook.

The pedestrian cannot hear them. I predict deaths will occur due to this. Streetcred … and the hideously expensive batteries have a 3 – 5 year life span with the added cost of toxic disposal. Hasbeen It will probably only be those walking along texting who will not notice that big bad electric car coming, so electric cars could produce a net improvement in the gene pool. Never having owned them I don’t know, so someone tell me. Can people with one of these sexy music devices, with earphones in their ears, hear propper cars, or are this devices also making their contribution to the gene pool also. If so I shall think more kindly of them in future. Cynic they already do elsewhere. I worked on a project in Shenyang, China, where there is an extensive electric trolley bus system. They are deadly quiet and at night the drivers don’t put the headlights on. We christened them Shenyang Crocodiles as the first you knew of them was when they bit you. Local Public Security people attributed a lot of pedestrian deaths to their lack of noise and the failure to use headlights. And that was without a lot of wankers walking around with earplugs blasting out music[?] or texting on their mobiles. I’m quite optimistic about electric vehicles: * Batteries might be more expensive, but you don’t oil, radiator, (in in some designs no diff or gear box), and more. * You don’t need to regularly have oil changes and tune ups! * If you charge at home overnight (off-peak), if the power goes out, you can run your house on your massive car batteries! * Too quiet? I find that cars drive on the road and that you need to look out for both silent EVs and coasting combustion cars. * Self-driving cars are going to be great – and probably safer, avoiding pedestrians who insist on walking on the road all the time. Power transmission: * I’d imagine electricity transmission could become troublesome with increased use – why not have a small nuclear (thorium?)/coal powerplant for each city? * If you were to charge your car at home you would find yourself slipping into the higher price bracket from the amount of usage. Gbees You got it Cynic. I almost became a victim in Nelson Bay last weekend! PeterB in Indianapolis When you have leadership the world over that are all the products of an educational system which was specifically designed to kill common sense (which was never all that common to begin with), all of these debacles are extremely predictable. The governments are made of of people lacking common sense, the people (who lack common sense) have very little trouble simply believing (and usually ardently supporting) whatever the governments tell them, and the vanishingly few people who actually do possess any real common sense are labeled as “fringe”, “right-winger”, “lunatic”, “denier”, etc. when they attempt to point out that the WHOLE ENTIRE SITUATION IS COMPLETE NONSENSE! There is a good reason that Thomas Paine’s book about freedom from tyranny was named “Common Sense”. It takes a LOT of common sense to understand freedom and liberty, and to see why they are the only moral system under which humanity can freely operate. Without common sense, there is no freedom, no liberty. There is merely varying degrees of tyranny and oppression. This is why the “modern” educational system has been systematically designed to eliminate common sense from the population wherever, and whenever possible. A very sad state of affairs, really. Rereke Whakaaro … governments are made up of people lacking common sense, the people (who lack common sense) have very little trouble simply believing … I think you are being far too kind. In my experience politicians simply lack common sense, period. I am not sure they can stretch to actually believing in anything, other than what is expedient at the time. Rod Stuart Herein lies the reason for state provided education. How many times have I argued that if the Soviet experiment proved that government can’t produce ANYTHING, such as refrigerators, automobiles, food then what leads people to think that governed can provide services in education and health? The answer always is “it’s not affordable” or “there are some that would be uneducated”. My response has always been “How can we afford to allow the brokers in government to provide then?” and “Is it better that NO-ONE is educated?” The real reason that the Elite wanted to avoid a competitive, free market education approach was so that the populace could be “dumbed down” and common sense killed off. We have been deceived by our own avarice and greed. “When Deep Learning and Systems Thinking Radicalises the Student, Factual Reality Ceases to Matter” http://www.invisibleserfscollar.com/tag/paul-ehrlich amcoz Common sense died the day ol’ Tom did as he was the first person to really provide good reasons why it is so, in that long lost age when it was more common to have reasonable sense. turnedoutnice The purpose of the electric cars in the simple minds of politicians and Marxist dupes is that by providing decentralized energy storage, they can make the windmills work. However, this cannot work because the round trip efficiency is ~20% and the cost is far too high. But remember that the likes of the reptilian Gillard are only interested in the next election, not fairness or common sense. Ropes and lamp posts. AndyG55 “Gillard are only interested in the next election” I can’t believe that is true, If it was really interested in the next election, most of the policies it has brought in, would not be there. The CO2 tax wouldn’t exist, mining tax either .(oh wait, it doesn’t really exist, economically) And it would start telling the truth instead of the perpetual lies and spin !! It’s actions and words, and those of it’s fellow ALP/Green politicians, are the main reason they will lose badly in the upcoming election. Allen Ford I can hardly wait to hear all the lame excuses trotted out when they come that God awful cropper. Geoff Sherrington I have asked my local member if Tony will give me a number one Senate ticket at the next election on the basis that I am a completely ordinary person. Mark D. This stupidity goes hand-in-hand with wind power folly. It really boils down to excessively talented salesmanship. (Same for the banking crash for that matter). Very successful sales people tend to not care about the realities behind the product. Make the sale and move on. If customers minds have been softened by media hype and “save the world” falsehoods, well the salesman isn’t going to care. This doesn’t matter if it’s a car or a windmill. Aynsley Kellow I have been rather too preoccupied with other things to explore the ‘gold-plating’ argument that Gillard has been running, but intuitively it seems that she has been overdoing it downplaying the effect of subsidised renewables on the cost per unit of electricity consumed. Gold-plating is a well-enough known result of what is called rate-of-return regulation. But if you add a lot of solar panels and wind farms to an electricity grid, they will both lower the load factor on the poles and wires – the transmission system for wind farms and the distribution system for PV solar. (Wind farms have low load factors and domestic consumers still want to draw on the grid whenever the sun isn’t shining – which at least every night). The cost of the poles and wires in total (transmission and distribution) must be spread over a smaller number of units of electricity sold. The transmission and distribution companies can still apply to the regulator (and likely be granted) price increases to maintain the acceptable rate of return on their investment – but now it must be recovered from lower kWh sold, so up go the prices. I suspect, therefore, that the MRET, carbon tax and other subsidies for renewables cannot be separated out from ‘gold-plating’ as Gillard would have us believe. We are all paying higher prices (carbon tax, other revenue to provide subsidies, higher electricity prices) for all of this – and one can expect that those higher prices are also resulting in more conservation, suppressing utilisation of poles and wires still further. Well, it has often been said that the primary difference between Electrical Engineering and Electronic Engineering, is that the Electronic Engineers are friends with their electrons, and know each one by name. But there is another difference. Electrical Engineers are more focused on how the electrons will be harvested, and then distributed. Electronic Engineers are more concerned on how the electrons are to be delivered, stored, and then used. Most of the discussions around the mass use of electric cars I have seen to date, seem to focus on the battery technology. As well they might. That is not cheap technology, neither is it clean technology. But there is a wider issue, which is the one of “the last metre” in the distribution chain. How do you actually get the electricity to the vehicle? The assumption seems to be that you will drive your car into your garage and plug it into a standard 10 amp AC power socket. But what if you don’t have a garage, and you park on the street? Are you going to have to run an extension lead across the pavement? Health and safety alarms ringing here. What if 10 amp AC is not the most efficient and fastest way to charge the next generation of batteries? Is that going to require extensive changes to your domestic wiring? What about charging your car at your work place? Will commercial buildings or car parking buildings need to be retrofitted with charging facilities? In short, I have seen no evidence that the logistical problems (and costs) associated with the infrastructure issues from this technology have even been considered, let alone addressed. But that is all right, because it will be somebody else’s problem to solve. These issues might loom large to a Southern Hemisphere resident. However, having spent most of my life in Northern Canada, where an automobile must be parked near about 1500 watts if it can be expected to start (in winter) these appear to me as no issue at all. (Typically 750 block heater and 750 watt interior car warmer. The issue is the cost in this locale. It wasn’t a problem at 3 cents per kWH. It is at 23 cents. Inexpensive energy is the key to Western civilisation, which is the reason that those intent on trashing it have created the Sky Dragon myth in the first place. Andrew McRae One solution I saw being suggested by an Israeli entrepreneur a few years ago (with working prototype) was changing out the whole battery tray underneath the car with a set of pre-charged batteries. It’s undoubtedly the quickest way, comparable to the time it takes to refill a 40L petrol tank today. But the limitations of this design are obvious. Firstly it has to be built into the pavement underneath existing servo stations. Secondly not all electric cars will have the same kinds of batteries and their battery assemblies won’t all be the same shape, size, and location (unless made so by dunderheaded pre-emptive regulation). This would require robot arms more versatile than the one-size-fits-all simple sliding rail mechanism that he showed to the media. It was a nice try and it made good TV, but back to the drawing board, comrades! Cookster Jo, thanks for bringing the real cost of Electric Cars to our attention. I agree we should charge the EV owners the real cost and this problem will disappear real quick (user pays). Unfortunately EVs fall under the rest of the Renewable bandwagon and simply can’t survive unless subsidised by fossil fuels. What is going to happen when taxes on carbon emissions rise so high to subsidise these “environmental” solutions that there is no longer a bottomless pit of fossil fuel money as the demand for fossil fuels has fallen too far? What is going to subsidise the renewable price then ? I suppose governments will need to subsidise the price which will eventually show up via ever escalating and unsustainable public debt levels. Until someone develops economically competitive non subsidised energy alternatives nobody should buy subsidised electricity. It is just creating an even bigger headache for future generations one way or another. It is just creating an even bigger headache for future generations one way or another. Surely a moral socialist government wouldn’t excessively borrow from unborn generations? /sarc Another question - If the institution called the Australian Government has a Constitutional right to print as much money as it needs – debt free – then why is there a national debt and why therefore an income tax? Hang on. Surely the electricity companies must now work hard to beef up their systems to cope with the projected 15 million electric cars that will require extensive charging facilities around the country? This will need heavy subsidisation to bring into service in the restricted time scale projected by the government. /sarc Richard111, you were a bit fast and lose with the sarc there. Surely the private generators (US) know what they can do with billions in subsidies? Your /sarc may have been premature. C.W Schoneveld Fortunately, hybid cars produce their own electricity. Ooo … magic … Check the price tags on those hybrids. Hy bid is right. produce their own electricity. I should get one before the grid power is completely unreliable (due to carbon wacko-ism). I can back feed from the car to my house…….. With a 4 km range before the petrol kicks in all you are doing is lumping another 400kg around, they maybe ok in heavy traffic. If you want to convince me, buy or hire a hybrid and we can do a Melbourne-Newcastle-Melbourne run at the speed limit with 2 people and a weekends luggage with you keeping up with my Commodore. You had better be prepared to beat 8.6l/100km Using fossil fuel. And burning more of it than a modern diesel car to do the same job janama Most of the taxis these days are Toyota Hybrids because they are cheaper to run than conventional cars, they have more torque at low speeds so are ideal for city traffic conditions. They also conserve energy when braking and travelling downhill. Their engine lasts longer because it runs efficiently turning a generator. It’s the same system as used by diesel electric trains. It’s NOT an electric car, it’s A hybrid. The Tesla Model S is the only real electric car and it’s batteries are fully recycleable and need to be replaced every 8 years. (Tesla recycle them) they offer three batteries: 40 kWh, 60 kWh, and 85 kWh. Travelling at a constant speed of 55 mph,(85km/hr) these kWh figures translate to 160, 230, and 300 miles (482km) of range. You need a 240V/80amp power outlet for the fastest charging. http://www.teslamotors.com/models No disputing here that there are definitely some niche applications for hybrid and electric vehicles , just that they`re a long way from the conventional energy and pollution free lunch as the environuts seem to think and they perform poorly to woefully outside of those niches when compared to either petrol or diesel C.W.Schoenfeld…oi, you were meant to be replaced by Brandenburg last summer, you aint got time to tarry here talking politics mate. Aw, juss kiddin, I love the old bus-stop, jess a long walk to the feckin S bahn is all. correction hybrid No correction needed, you got it right the first time. UzUrBrain All electric car charging stations should (shall) have a separate meter and a separate billing rate that pays for this needed extra infrastructure. Look at all of the super toxic sites created by the lead/acid battery makers that billions were paid to clean up. How long till we discover that the materials we now consider “safe” in these new batteries are discovered just as harmful as the lead was. I can remember when lead was considered so safe it was used everywhere for everything – red-lead pain to prevent rust, white-lead for that nice white house, anti-nock in gasoline, etc. etc. And the list of chemicals that are later found to be dangerous is endless. chris y The charging time for batteries is another big problem for electric vehicles. Consider the energy transfer you routinely receive at the gas pump. A typical gasoline pump can dispense about 8 gallons in one minute. A gallon of gasoline can propel a car an average of 25 miles. Thus, the gasoline energy transfer rate is about 200 miles per minute. Affordable (not Tesla or Fisker) electric vehicles can achieve about 0.3 kWh/mile. A 200 mile charge requires transferring 60 kWhr of electrical energy into the battery in 1 minute. Since the charging efficiency is about 90%, this is about 66 kWhr of energy in 1 minute. The power transfer rate is 66,00060 = 3.96 Megawatts. For a 400 VDC charging voltage, the charging current is about 10,000 Amps. This power level requires extreme safety interlocks to avoid explosive discharges, severe burns, etc. More than a dozen 4/0 welding cables in parallel would be needed for the umbilical cable, making it almost impossible to handle by the average consumer. With a typical service station having 12 filling spots, it will need a power feed of at least 50 MW, which will require a dedicated 25kV or higher voltage feeder from the nearest substation. You could alternatively store electricity locally in buried flywheels or batteries, but at extreme cost. This highlights the energy density and handling ease associated with gasoline. It is the ideal energy storage nanomaterial, capable of storing large amounts of hydrogen in a liquid state. Chris y, good analysis. One challenge though, I expect that the theoretical charging efficiency would be less than 90% at those current flows. There’s going to be some impressive heat and inductive losses (even into the steel reinforcement bars in the concrete beneath the cables). Frankly, I wouldn’t want to be within 10 meters of that setup. and the lights in the whole neighborhood are going to be fun to watch. In the end, rather than build the existing grid to support this, I think that it would cost less and be more practical to build an induction system into the roadways. Cars could pick up the energy needed as they roll over the road. Start with the freeways and use battery power only for the “last mile”. But then I think the whole electric vehicle idea is just stupid unless you have lots of nuke plants built soon. Greg Cavanagh The interesting thing about this idea is that it is so old. Science fiction writers have been using exactly this idea for utopian worlds for. Logan’s Run for example, used little monorail cars to transport you around the complex automatically without driver input. It’s a plausible idea for small scale communities. Cost wise; Inductors under an asphalt road would be hell expensive to install and maintain, but would allow free travel by the drivers. Monorail systems would likely be cheaper, but eliminates free travel by the drivers. Light rail systems emulating a road systems would be cheaper yet, but noisy, shaky and with limited free travel. Mark D Good comment on charging efficiency. It is difficult to estimate this number, because a battery that can be charged at this rate does not currently exist. Double layer capacitors can be charged at this rate, but they take up 100 times more space than a Li-ion battery pack of equal energy capacity. Until we have a practical way to charge electric vehicle batteries at gasoline equivalent rates, the electric car will always be a niche product. Edison praised Ford’s invention of the ICE in 1896- “Young man, that’s the thing; you have it. Keep at it. Electric cars must keep near to power stations. The storage battery is too heavy. Steam cars won’t do, either, for they require a boiler and fire. Your car is self-contained—carries its own power plant—no fire, no boiler, no smoke and no steam. You have the thing. Keep at it.” http://www.masterresource.org/2009/08/thomas-edison-to-henry-ford-forget-electric-cars-worth-re-reading-weekend/ The charging time is being addressed by proposing refuelling stations that automatically replace your car’s battery while you wait – very quickly. Linked is an example. Existing EV designs like the Tesla would need to be modified to allow for the removable battery located under the vehicle. You drive over the refuelling point and the battery is automatically replaced with a new one in similar time to what it takes to fill your car’s tank. I think it could work, but as I stated in an earlier post, the required infrastructure should never be subsidised by the government unless there is a proven positive net economic return on the investment to the taxpayer. That the supplied link says refuelling energy comes from 100% ‘green’ energy seems to confirm that Better Place is yet another member of the Global Warming bandwagon. http://www.betterplace.com.au/ Cookster- Swapping batteries is an interesting concept that won’t work in the real world. Each swapping station will need to invest in at least 100 battery packs of inventory to have on hand each day, multiple (8, 12, 24?) robot swapping bays to replace the batteries, and attendants to make sure everything works smoothly. It is hugely uneconomical compared with the current gasoline solution. The pack is the most expensive component of the EV, and the most vulnerable to damage and wear, especially Li based battery chemistry. It is the last item you want to have easily accessible in a vehicle. Thanks Chris. I suspected the battery packs would be too expensive in the real world. Yet again another green ‘solution’ that can’t stand on it’s own feet without subsidies. Anyhow I thought it was worth sharing in context of the discussion as I had been made aware of Better Place some years ago but never gave it another thought until now DougS JN: “….We have 15 million cars on the road, and in 2011 only 49 new cars were electric. That’s nearly one new one each week…” It’s still staggeringly high – considering how useless they are! Bought by government departments and people who live within 10km of their workplace. I’m sure every Council and government department would have investigated the possibility of operating one. It’s disapointing that at least 49 thought it was a good idea. Currently at Carsales.com there are 6 used EV’s for sale with only 3 having done more than 1500km, customer satisfaction? Given that EV owners only drive extremely short distances the amount of CO2 they save is minimal. Batteries have to be replace after 5-8 years at massive cost. Has there been a per/100km distance comparison done between the CO2 generated by petrol or diesel and the “clean” electricity generated at the Yallourn coal fired power station? A few years ago I made serious application to Mitsubishi Motors Australia to trial an IMiEV. The company had indicated its intention to have six vehicles trialed prior to the commercial release. The argument I made was that I had the background and experience necessary to report professionally on the vehicle’s performance, I was a long time Mitsubishi owner, and that as technical manager at a power station it would be an ideal application for the technology to transport me 30 km each way to and from the power station. They turned me down because they weren’t interested in any trials in Tassie. Come to think of it, that was almost the ONLY practical use for an IMiEV. (I thought, probably mistakenly, that the company would allow recharging while parked at work for the PR benefit.) Perhaps it is really just a “glorified golf cart of limited use“. 25 Jan: Bloomberg: Niklas Magnusson: Saab Hometown Prays for Revival With China Electric Push Saab’s new parent, owned by a Chinese renewable energy investor, intends to start churning out 9-3 sedans and convertibles in August, according to a letter sent to parts suppliers and obtained by Bloomberg News. Sales of the diesel- powered vehicles are intended to help fund Saab’s conversion into an electric-car manufacturer… “The likelihood of this project turning into a success is very small,” said Ferdinand Dudenhoeffer, director of the Center for Automotive Research at Germany’s University of Duisburg-Essen. “Even in China, selling electric cars is a very difficult business.”… “The business plan is well thought out and completely realistic,” said Paul Aakerlund, one of the town’s three mayors, who drives a Saab 9-3 and worked at the manufacturer for more than 30 years. “Imagine if the world’s first large-scale electric-car venture starts in little Trollhaettan. It’s undoubtedly very tickling and exciting.”… China’s goal is to increase sales of alternative energy vehicles to 500,000 by 2015, from 12,791 last year, according to the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers. “China realizes the need to meet the climate challenges through electric vehicles,” Mikael Oestlund, a spokesman for Nevs, said by phone… Nevs is in turn owned by National Modern Energy Holdings Ltd., a Hong Kong-based company that also controls renewable power-plant builder State Power Group, which last year opened plant in Beijing to make batteries for cars and buses… http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-01-24/saab-hometown-prays-for-revival-with-china-electric-push.html Roy Hogue Electric vehicles in particular are another new “appliance” which is set to place new demands on Australia’s power system. Well surprise, surprise, surprise! At least someone realizes that TANSTAAFL stands for, “There Ain’t No Such Thing As A Free Lunch!” And in the case of electric cars it may well be a much more expensive free lunch than they think considering the problem of disposing of the used up batteries and the mess from making them. I saw hybrid mentioned. They do well, high gas mileage; however, the Prius — and I know this from knowing Prius owner — can only go two to three miles on the battery before the engine must kick in. Newer ones may be better but still, all the energy to run the car comes from gas burned in the engine. And all the energy needed to run those electric cars must also come from the same sources from which we get electricity now: hydro (those damned dams); coal (accursed from its birth until now); natural gas (also CO2 emitting); oil (also CO2 emitting); nuclear (never to be allowed for fear of the radiation bogy man). So how do we benefit from electric cars? I don’t think we do. Overheard an augment about the evils of coal, the counter-argument went along the lines of: CO2 comes from coal, coal comes from fossilised trees, fossilised trees come from living trees, living trees growth comes from CO2 therefore coal is carbon neutral. I’m curious. How did the argument end? One person left.

Dr Brulle said: “We really have anonymous giving and unaccountable power being exercised here in the creation of the climate countermovement. There is no attribution, no responsibility for the actions of these foundations to the public. “By becoming anonymous, they remove a political target.

Awesome how coal is enabling Pius people drive around in their coal powered vehicles in a vain attempt to save the planet from the dem evil fossil fuels. But hey – it never was about saving the planet, was it – it’s about projecting the right propoganda to gain membership into the pius tribe. KinkyKeith hi MJ You are missing the association. Everybody under 30 Knows that the specific power for these “Electric Vehicles” will come from the “Renewable” quota being produced for our grids. Don’t bring reality into it; it hurts the cause to say that it is actually from coal generated power stations. This 30 of which you speak, IQ or age? You want me to say both, don’t you. But we should remember that anybody can be brainwashed given a relentless bombardment of government sponsored “facts”. It’s a reflection on misuse of government resources for personal gain and not so much a refection on intelligence of newer generations.

Still applicable as none of the “promising breakthroughs” in battery technology have manifested in affordable product. Electric Cars in their Time and Place Spot on Bernd , I`ve often likened much of the forced application/subsidizing of enviro-fashionable tech to as if , during the Victorian era , in order to fix the “London Mud” (horse dung ) problem England had set about bankrupting itself to subsidize traction engines as personal transport . Put simply , most of the “Green” tech is either a dead end , no where near developed enough for regular use or being forced into applications it`s simply not suited to . The worst part of it is that there is a slacking off in development in many of the techs involved because the manufacturers know they can sell them or get wildly subsidized for them anyway , regardless of how badly they suck Ask the Dreamliner Team about battery back-up power units for aircraft! Having seen what happens to LiPo batteries when they go wrong it would seem that good batteries are a long way from matching current petrol power for safety. worth watching: 25 Jan: Brisbane Times: Bridie Jabour: Wivenhoe to release water – but not on Seqwater’s advice Instead it came from Energy and Water Supply Minister Mark McArdle who, along with Premier Campbell Newman, told reporters it was designed to reassure people who were concerned about river flooding… Mr Newman said Seqwater “fully supported” the decision and 41,000 megalitres would be released from Wivenhoe Dam over 24 hours from Friday afternoon… The Wivenhoe Dam’s water supply capacity is currently at about 91 per cent… Once it reaches 100 per cent, it can hold another 100 per cent of water for flood mitigation. In January 2011 the Wivenhoe Dam reached about 170 per cent after months of sustained rain. During the flood dam releases peaked at 645,000 megalitres. This weekend’s release of about 41,000 megalitres represents about 1.8 per cent of Wivenhoe Dam’s total capacity. On Thursday Seqwater engineers advised the government there was no need for a water release. When directly asked if its advice had changed, Mr Newman refused to answer. “The situation is changed, the BOM forecast is changed, the rainfall estimates are much higher now from the BOM,” he said. “And as a result there has been, obviously, a re-evaluation… http://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/environment/weather/wivenhoe-to-release-water–but-not-on-seqwaters-advice-20130125-2dbkl.html handjive Surely the current release of water from Wivenhoe Dam NOW is an act of admittance that they made wrong decisions in the 2011 floods? Either the official advice of no more rain was wrong, prompting late release, or, the current release is wrong. Someone must be held accountable. The 2011 flood was indeed man made, and could have been avoided. * see page 12: “In situations where the major flood contribution occurs in catchments below Somerset Dam and the proposed Wivenhoe Dam, there are considerable problems in deciding when to empty the flood storage. If floodwaters were retained by the dam for too long not only would there be major and prolonged flooding upstream from the storage but the dam would become virtually useless for flood mitigation downstream in the event of a repetition of excessive rainfall. Meteorologically such a situation has already occurred (in 1893 when there were three floods within a month) and a recurrence appears inevitable.” They can’t say they weren’t warned. The whole original plan was for one dam for flood mitigation and one of water supply One dam can NEVER effectively operate as both in a partially-random chaotic climate system. They are contrary purposes. (Just like hydro power and water storage are contrary purposes.) Wolfdene should have been built……. who was responsible for that idiotic decision, I wonder !!!. Ian Macmillan My domestic consumption is about 25 kWH per day, and I estimate that the energy required to commute 30+30 kM in a modest electric car would also be about 25 kWH. This means that double the energy per day would be required. So what with the cost of 25c/kWH plus forthcoming increases due to the carbon tax, a mandatory reduction in goldplated infrastructure (particularly in bushfire prone areas), the closure of nasty coal fired power stations, the ineffectiveness and cost of renewable energy, the Green dismissal of nuclear power, the lack of a suitable battery technology (especially for Dreamliners), and the technical difficulties of fast charging high capacity batteries, just to name a few. It aint gonna happen real soon. here we go again, but the people commenting aren’t buying it: 24 Jan: Vancouver Sun: Misty Harris: Exposure to conspiracy theories has dramatic consequences Researchers from the University of Kent in the U.K. found that simply reading a conspiracy theory increased people’s feelings of powerlessness, which ultimately reduced their desire to politically engage. And this effect occurred even when the information wasn’t directly related to government. Exposure to pro-conspiracy material on climate change, for example, not only made people less motivated to reduce their carbon footprint, it also negatively affected their interest in voting. “When you’re exposed to a conspiracy – say, that the government is involved in secret plots – it can make you feel as though your actions won’t make a difference,” said doctoral student Daniel Jolley, the study’s co-author. “(It) appears to trigger a conspiratorial mindset.”… Those who read the conspiratorial material were more likely to report feelings of climate powerlessness, uncertainty and disillusionment, which in turn reduced their desire to act in environmentally friendly ways… But they also note that conspiracy theories potentially lead to societal disengagement – and, as their research shows, a waning interest in political and environmental participation. “Conspiracy theories aren’t necessarily just harmless fun,” said Jolley. “They may have potentially serious social consequences.”… http://www.vancouversun.com/news/national/Exposure+conspiracy+theories+dramatic+consequences/7866992/story.html Just in case anyone forgets that there is no free lunch: For twenty years I worked for a very large fully integrated natural gas enterprise in Canada. That company had a whole fleet of CNG vehicles on the road. It certainly was not for cost saving reasons or for convenience. It was for PR. How could the public be convinced to use natural gas unless the gas company used it? Reasonably successful, however, CNG never took off I suspect due to the following drawbacks: a) In a full sized passenger car, such as a Dodge Diplomat, almost the entire boot was occupied by the fuel tanks. In a full sized North American pickup (ute) it is more practical, unless one chose the ute in the first place to carry cargo. The “cargo” you end up carrying is the fuel tanks, but the range is reasonable. b) The Canada Safety Board had demonstrated time and time again with crash tests that CNG is safer in a vehicle collision than petrol. However, since the range is only about 200 km on CNG, they all retained the petrol fuel system, so in fact were LESS safe, albeit to an almost insignificant extent. Because luggage and other packages then had to be in the back seat rather than the boot, they were considerably less safe. Vehicles on CNG only don’t start at all in cold weather. Even in summer they operate best when started on gasoline before switching to CNG. c) While the cost of the FUEL was remarkably less as the natural gas was essentially at no cost (even considering that due to the lack of range they also went considerable distances on gasoline (petrol), the LIFECYCLE cost wasn’t so hot, since the CNG fuel system cost over $3,000 installed, and when the vehicles were retired at 100,000 km fetched even less at auction. On top of this there were significant additional maintenance costs. In addition, since CNG refueling opportunities were nearly non-existent, the company had installed its own refueling sites at compressor stations at about $100,000 each. CNG is probably a more viable vehicle fuel in Australia, but just bear in mind that it would increase the cost of each vehicle significantly, and the cost of the additional infrastructure to make frequent refueling stops would be very expensive. New Zealand after the 1970 Arab oil embargo achieved this CNG Utopia, but the CNG refueling facilities died an early death. An alternative to gasoline with drawbacks it is, and practical whereas electric cars are not, but it certainly carries a cost. People are touting natgas for long-haul truckers here in the U.S., replacing diesel in 18-wheelers. Do you think that’s viable? Only if they put in a massive amount of infrastructure first, guarantee that it will remain in place and start using road trains. It is very viable. Maisland Transport in Canada has been doing it for about 30 years. But that is LNG, and is not applicable to passenger cars. Maisland drive from sea to shining sea non-stop, and schedule maintenance to coincide with an empty fuel tank. When the tractor stops, the relief valves on the tank open right away. Even with a foot of insulation, the heat transfer rate into the fuel tank is sufficient to boil off fuel at the rate the engine consumes it. When you stop trucking, the fuel continues to boil. Logging truck operators are using LNG here in Tasmania as well. Natural gasa is a lot more expensive here than in Canada so I don’t think it is nearly as successful. A US citizen told me that her brother is recycling old cars with LPG conversion successfully as a business. Yes it is, straight gas or mixed with diesel or diesel/gas. peterfitzroy have been available for longer periods there is no supporting evidence for the extra costs as mentioned in this article. Where’s all the CAGW sympathisers today? Oh of course, its Australia day, and they are all waiting for Gillard’s staff to trigger an ANTI-Australia event !! Do you mean this staged event? On Australia Day 2012, nearly 200 indigenous protesters surrounded a restaurant in Canberra, trapping Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard and Tony Abbott, opposition leader inside. When will we celebtrate independence day? Independence from what is the next question. wayne, s. Job When a free energy device or a small portable and safe nuclear generator with enough power output to tow a caravan, then electric vehicles will be viable. Until some thing like that happens electric vehicles will remain a green wet dream. Nuclear powered automobiles were being designed in the Fifties. They seriously intended to mass produce them. Nuclear powered cars, Now that would’ve been cool. Now here’s a reason not to be an idiot on the road – the car you hit is carrying a nuke. It sure would be an incentive for me to slow down and behave… Manicbeancounter About a century ago there was a pseudo-economist called Thorstein Veblen. He claimed that the wealthy engaged in conspicuous consumption. They spent money not to meet immediate needs, but to show-off their wealth. Expenditure was on impractical, but luxurious objects. Superficially he was right – though his economic policies to deal with the situation were ultimately anti-poor. In the modern age, when the conspicuousness of the celebrity rich is “saving the planet”, electric vehicles show the new form of flaunting of wealth – impracticality and expensive, without the luxury. Absolutely. Eco is an identity issue and an expression of new types of social class conscioussness. In the modern age, when the conspicuousness of the celebrity rich is “saving the planet”, electric vehicles show the new form of flaunting of wealth – impracticality and expensive, without the luxury. … and subsidised by the poor ! And that`s the bit that REALLY gets Me going , It`s the complete opposite of the old “flaunting of wealth – impracticality and expensive” which required highly skilled craftsmen and tradesmen to produce the status symbols of the day and They could charge the wealthy whatever the market would bear .Money went from rich to poor , not always at the ideal rate but at least it got there Now , almost every green scheme going subsidizes the wealthy eco-loons symbols of status and enviropiety by charging/taxing the ones who can`t afford it , in many cases hitting the ones who can least afford it the most Too all those dissing EV’s based on math. Here’s some for you. Reciprocating lumps of metal engines waste 80% of the fuel as heat, and use only 20% for motive power. Gas turbines can be up to 60% efficient, that’s a 3 fold improvement. Hydrocarbon fuel cells can be up to 60% efficient. Electric motors can be up to 90% efficient, that’s a 4 fold improvement. Combined with gas turbines and you get .9x.6 = 54% efficiency, pretty much the same for fuel cells. That’s why EV’s are the holy grail of vehicles. But you need to generate the electricity and distribute it first. You know of a simple cycle GT at 60% efficiency? You need to go out and sell them. Since 40% is stretching the band pretty hard on a big machine, and 30% is great over a broad load range, I’m sitting here on the floor laughing out loud at the idea of an automotive GT being more efficient than a diesel. And I’ve been working on them, in them, around them, for damned near fifty years! “Joe” wrote: That “20%” is so 1960′s and also can (mis)lead people to think that the rejected heat is waste. 1) modern engines, especially turbo-diesels have efficiencies of around 50%; even the small ones. Petrol engines ar a little behind in efficiency but with the increasing use of small, variable turbochargers, their efficiency is also substantially better than 20%. You may not have noticed it but brake specific fuel consumption has approximately halved for gasoline engines in passenger cars since the 1970′s; and is around 50% better for the diesels. 2) any heat engine that does useful work has to be able to reject heat; as heat. It is impossible for a practical heat engine to convert all of the energy from the heat source into mechanical power. The heat which is rejected by a heat engine in doing useful work is essential for it to do useful work; therefore that heat isn’t waste. 3) heat rejected by heat engines is often used to enhance the operation of the process or that of the whole system. For the process; turbochargers convert exhaust gas heat and residual pressure into useful work in compressing inlet air; allowing e.g. a small engine to seem like a bigger one when the need arises and overall, by reducing the engine’s usual pumping losses. As a system benefit, heat from the engine is frequently used for the comfort and safety of vehicle occupants. 4) although electric motors can be more than 90% efficient; it is entirely incorrect to assume that they will be operating near that efficiency sweet spot (determined by load and speed) for much of the time. Electric motors can become 90%-efficient heaters at the “wrong” speeds and loads. 5) simple gas turbines don’t come near 60% efficiency; and you certainly cannot afford to put one which could have that efficiency into a motor car. The exhaust temperature would be enough to melt any vehicles following. Do the numbers; materials to yield such efficiency are esoteric/exotic. You are perhaps confused with gas-turbine powered combined-heat-and-power (CHP) plants which use the heat from the exhaust gas to generate steam, driving a steam turbine or distributing the steam/hot water as process heat for e.g. chemical plants or cooking food. 6) fuel cells, in your language; waste heat. A heck of a lot. About as much as a diesel engine. That is, in itself, not a problem; not if you can find Engineers to design heat exchangers to stop stuff getting too hot to work. Here in Perth, we had a small fleet of fuel-cell buses (hydrogen “powered”) which were just as intolerant of the heat as the buses in trials in cooler parts of the world. The other factors (re)revealed included the inability of the fuel cells to rapidly change power output in response to the load (IIRC; they dumped excess power into a bank of resistors) and the very finite life of the fuel cell elements. Unfortunately, where the electricity is generated the efficiency isn’t anywhere near the 90% that an electric motor can give you. As I stated earlier — the power to run the electric vehicle must come from sources we now use. And most of that burns some kind of fuel, making heat, which either runs the generators directly by means of gas turbines or generates steam which runs turbines. Turning the generators is where the problem is. The efficiency at this end is discussed by Bernd Felsche above. That is why EV’s are not the holy grail of vehicles. If fuel cells could be cost competitive with the gas powered car and if the problems of storing hydrogen safely and obtaining the huge amounts of it required to run a highly mobility dependent society, then I could start to become a fan. But you need to show me that it’s starting to happen before I’ll change my mind. If the demand for it looks good at some future point then private capital will continue to work on it. But don’t start spending huge amounts of the taxpayer’s money. And then H2O could conceivably become a pollutant, just like CO2, maybe? After all, it is a greenhouse gas. The Plasma Battery is a great breakthrough. Problem is, inventors just can’t stay alive long enough to get them to market. peakoil.com/alternative-energy/plasma-battery-inventors-disappearing-regularly/ Do you really think that any business or government would want to in anyway hinder the development of battery technology? Now before you answer instinctively or react, think about the problems many of the worlds armies have as they become more reliant on technology (and the batteries that power them). There are sites making Tim’s point. 6 Nuclear Plasma Battery Technology Inventors Now Dead Or Missing Who is killing all these inventors who can make gas stations and coal plants obsolete? Since I subscribe to an RSS feed on Clean Green Nuclear Energy, I get a lot of stuff in my email everyday, but this one I found this morning is very disturbing. The link relays news from Moscow that the fifth inventor of the plasma battery (a battery that is scalable and lives longer than people without recharging) was pulled from a river without his teeth or fingerprints. This now makes five nuclear battery inventors who have been murdered since 2002 including Aries DeGeus, MIT Professor Eugene Mallove, Dr. Paul M. Brown, and Dr. Chernetsky (another Russian) The links detailing their murders can be found on page two of the above link. Here is the last know diagram of the second generation of plasma batteries designed by murdered inventor Aries DeGeus in 2004…… http://www.greenoptions.com/t/4212/6-nuclear-plasma-battery-technology-inventors-now-dead-or-missing I understand, however, I am a bit sceptical of the sources – Greenoptions.com and Peakoil.com I wonder have Peakoil.com.capitulated yet regarding the whole peak oil thing? What do you make of the info here?– http://exposingcensorship.blogspot.com.au/2012/04/murdered-government-agent-linked-to.html It still comes back to my question – why on earth would any government or corporate pass up the opportunity to have dominance on this sort of technology if it was viable? Why would the US – currently i believe a net importer of fossil fuels- with teh current massive economic woes pass up on an opportunity to get a real head start on such a groundbreaking technology? Hi MadJak: Government corporate war-suppliers make a motza from obsolescent technology. How many soldiers had to die before they strengthened their vehicles against IED’s? http://inventorspot.com/articles/waterfueled_car_and_death_inventor_5684 http://wattsupwiththat.com/2012/01/31/a-great-development-but-how-will-the-government-tax-the-air/ (We’re still waiting) As Einstein said, “Great ideas often receive violent opposition from mediocre minds.” Aw come on…whatever happenned to the perpetual motion machine and the levitation motor…they keep being reinvented and nobody can find their inventors either. Just like the moonlandings were shot in Nevada with the assistance of Aliens from aflying saucerrecovered froma crash site near the US base on Mars. News this week, oil find in South Australia, estimated value $20 Trillion, Australia self sufficient again and an exporter of oil. Truthseeker Maybe you can check this out. Kneel 8250 The guy 3 houses down from me owns a Nissan Leaf. He admits to an increased power bill of $70.00 a month just for the car. He also has to have another petrol powered car as the Leaf has a very limited range. Now think about this. He pays 2 registrations a year and 2 lots of insurance plus the maintenance costs of running 2 cars as opposed to running one. Charging time on the Leaf is 12 hours after he returns from work as he thinks $1500.00 for a fast charger is excessive. Fast charging is around 4 hours. After only 2 years his battery life is already diminishing and he is complaining to Nissan about it. The Leaf was more expensive than the petrol powered car of the same size. Yes the Leaf is super quiet coming down the road. This is the real World testing in customers hands. If nothing else we live in interesting times. Kneel. Super quiet…its one advantage is its ability to kill the poorly sighted pedestrian. fortunately that pedestrian will probably be some fellow “progressive” type from their neighborhood…. Clearly the fair thing would be for all electric car owners to pay an electric car tax of $2000 per year to pay for the infrastructure needs of their cars. The word govern-ment means mind rule. “Just the theorizing coupled with government power and financial resources changes human behavior.” Likewise, in 1994 English sociology prof Anthony Giddens wrote that “even should the thesis of global warming prove mistaken,” the “overall consequence” would still be “the creation of new types of feedback effects and system influences.” CAGW is a political theory that accretes economic and social power to government officials and their designated cronies. It offers a reason to exert control over private transactions and property and human activities and those system effects and influences are just too useful to pass up. Giddens went on to mention the UN’s IPCC and pointed out it will be setting up four possible emissions (carbon dioxide) scenarios. He was then brutally honest in what is clearly not designed to be read by us that these scenarios “could reflexively influence what it is they are about.” Just positing the theory and scenario, especially if it gains voluntary or formal adoption, changes behaviors in desired (if you are a statist schemer) ways. So if you are a scientist or just an interested citizen reading Paul Ehrlich’s latest hype of catastrophe or that US National Climate Assessment draft, please don’t forget Giddens’ quote above when the science quoted or the models used make no objective sense. Just the theorizing coupled with government power and financial resources changes human behavior. Gives an excuse for economic reorganization. A reason for more regulation. Think of it as a full-employment at taxpayer expense for political favorites theory. Because that is what it really is. http://www.invisibleserfscollar.com/about-me.html The BBC ran a Prius round a test track and followed it with a M5 BMW guess which one was the most economical? Look how safe Boings are with LiOn batteries? having a vulnerable cell with a nearly explosive electrolyte what can go wrong?? rukidding Sorry electric cars are verboten Because. Electric cars require mining and mining is certainly VERBOTEN Good on you Jo for supporting more transparency in the electricity market. I guess you also support charging owners an air-conditioners true cost – about $7000 per unit per year which is paid by all consumers, not the owner (Energy White Paper 2012 page XIV). Now that is a propaganda piece in the true Red Gillard tradition! Who wrote that shite? Oh yes, none other than Fartin’ Merguson. The estimate is well ant truly ridiculous, as is nearly everything published by this mob GangGreen. Whatever he is on about, there is a simple solution. Gas fired adsorption air conditioning would put the load on the gas delivery system, which is not fully loaded in summer, rather than the electricity distribution system. The problem? Instead of $1,500 for the air conditioner the homeowner would be spending $8,500! They get you coming and going. Some day even solar powered might be possible. However, Fartin’ Merguson is not in search of a solution. Not to that problem at least. He just won’t admit that it is the stupid Green crap, solar panels, windmills, needles bookkeeping for the NGER bureaucrats etc that is the real root of the cost increases. Just like McDonalds, the ALP is led by a red-headed clown. Merguson is just following orders. The climate is changing again, colder conditions, I have carefully researched practical common sense heating and have chosen timber or wood heating, and after 2020 it will be worth gold. Read up in the specs for this totally electric car – you can buy one for around $60,000. http://www.teslamotors.com/models/specs The future IMHO Mike Borgelt I hope the battery system is better than the one in the B787. Would you park one of those things in your house? I’ve done a bit of research on lithium batteries as I’m using some in a project of mine. I’m not planning on charging them in the vehicle in use or afterwards. They will be removed and placed in a fireproof cabinet for that. There will also be under voltage protection to shut off the battery(can cause fires with lithium too). I REALLY don’t want to have to use my parachute. I can’t figure out Elon Musk. He’s a smart guy, builds the world’s best rockets and spacecraft(SpaceX would be where I’d want to work if I was 30 again – turning cold refined steel into the dreams of spaceflight) but he’s swallowed the enviro crap hook, line and sinker. I can only think that Tesla Motors is a super scam which will leave him with heaps of money and smelling like roses. I said he was very smart. The Tesla sports version has been around since it was presented in 2006 – it became available commercially in 2008 and 2,400 have been sold in 31 countries around the world. The lithium batteries are manufactured by Tesla in their own factory. There have been no reports of problems with the battery system to date. Perhaps Boeing should get Tesla to make their batteries. It is my understanding that tesla cars use the same rechargable batteries that we all use in your childrens toys only ship loads of them. That makes the Tesla a scaled up childrens toy. No new battery tech just a tax payer sink allowing rich idiots to buy a subsidised hot wheels. You’d be better off just having bought a Lotus Elise which it is based on. They use laptop batteries, 6000 plus change of them. They also go to lots of trouble to keep them cool and to prevent one cell failure from destroying the entire battery which reduces the energy density per unit mass to half that of the bare cells. It is a boondoggle and Tesla have a loan from the US government of $400 million or so IIRC. Heavily subsidised price from the Obama US government for Tesla. It’s easy to produce impressive specifications. Very much more difficult to live up to expectations in the real world. A 2-ton car isn’t going to go very far with just 40kWh. Don’t plan long drives. Especially not if the weather is cold, or hot. And best not to turn the volume of the 200W audio system up to “11″ … because 200W is the audio power; rather less than what it’ll be sucking from the battery. The “10kW capable” charger is going to be aching for somewhere to get that amount of juice. Normal domestic power outlet provides 10A in Australia. 15A for the heavy-duty version. i.e. around 2.4 or 3.6kW at nominal voltage. So, with optimistic charge (peak) efficiency; it would take more than 12 hours to recharge the 40kW battery fully; if the battery could ever be discharged that deeply. Lithium batteries aren’t deep-cycle. Their controllers will shut off the battery when its state of charge is around 20% to conserve the life of the battery. The day-to-day useful capacity of the battery is therefore closer to 32kWh. Trying to get “the last mile” out of the batteries repeatedly will result in getting the last mile out of the batteries; forever. Being based on Li-Ion; operational temperatures are also quite limited. They’d have to run an active cooling system (airconditioning) to facilitate charging at ambient temperatures above about 35⁰C; which makes for a rather poor utilisation of energy. Similarly; when hot, the batteries cannot deliver their full current; so performance will be restricted if e.g. the car has been carelessly parked in a concrete parking lot in the full sun all day during summer. Claimed range is carefully specified at constant speed… because acceleration, especially brisk, greatly decreases the operating efficiency as the batteries and drivetrain are seldom in their “efficiency sweet spot” … so don’t try too many acceleration runs to 100 km/h from standstill. The car has liquid cooling for a number of reasons! And don’t count too much gain on “regenerative braking”. The ability of the batteries to accept current is restricted (to prevent destruction/explosion/fire), the regeneration will only be able to harvest effectively from artificial “engine braking”. Full braking in a motor car dissipates well over 100kW. The kinetic energy is dissipated from e.g. 100km/h in 3 to 4 seconds… crunch the numbers. Rapid charging at anywhere near that power reduces the life of (at least) the batteries. John Brookes I must be missing something, because I don’t get how electric cars will impact so heavily on our electricity generation system. You would normally charge them overnight, I presume on a timer, so they’d be consuming power when not much else was. Rather the direct opposite of air conditioners, which add directly to peak consumption. But look on the bright side, all that new real estate coming on the market as service stations shut down… No need to burn fuel to capture electricity? Johnny boy, you are missing many things. Let’s see what happens when we have 15 million electric cars on the road. That is 60 kWH per charge per car. So that is 60 kWH x 365 (daily car usage) x 15,000,000 = 328,500,000,000 kWH per year. That is the equivalent of the annual output of 14.2 Bayswater power stations required just for the cars. You clearly have no understanding of the real world. You just think that power comes from a wall socket and there is unlimited amounts of it. Keep smiling Johnny boy. You clearly live in a fantasy world. JB, You could try reading above at Chris’s electrical comparison with petrol and then apply a bit of your own math on top of it. If the car is charged over 6 hours instead of 6 minutes, estimate the number of cars that refuel every day, multiply it by Chris’ power estimate of 3.96MW per car during charging, divide by the speed factor of 60, and the answer should be additional load placed on the national grid over those 6 hours, measured in MW. I’ll guess a million cars refuel per day, which is 1/14th of the total number of cars so it is in the ballpark if some people refuel every week and some only every fortnight. 1,000,000 * 4 / 60 ~~ 66,000MW extra load. Happy for the indefatigable TonyFromOz to make adjustments and homogenisations where needed. Now to answer your question “I don’t get how electric cars will impact so heavily on our electricity generation system.” The amount of spare generating capacity the national market is meant to have at any time is 850MW. The amount of total generating capacity in Australia in June 2000 was… only 43,000MW Even if you allowed for say 15% of cars recharging 2 hours later in Perth than on the East coast, you still have a 4 hour overlap each night where we would need to double Australia’s electricity generation capacity. So the answer there, JB, is that electric cars do not impact heavily on our electricity generation system at all because virtually nobody is buying electric cars, and thank heavens for that! Some other factors were omitted from my calculation and a correction is in order. The comparison used the petrol car’s energy requirement as the starting point. Petrol cars are around 50% efficient, so let’s be generous and say that electric cars were 80% efficient (though in practice they probably are not as Bernd has pointed out.) The energy needed by the EVs for the same journeys is then 5/8ths of what was calculated above. (~ 42,000MW overnight) This is (barely) within today’s electrical generation capacity of Australia, though you would still have to cut into the scheduled reserve safety margins. But it is still not possible to actually do this due to all the other refrigeration, lighting, telco, etc demands which create the base load power demand (around 17000MW at 4am from memory). As Roy pointed out, whether the efficiency of electric generator plants (~40%) has to be multiplied in to the EV’s total efficiency depends on whether you make a CO2-inclusive or exclusive comparison. Personally I’d ignore the CO2 and treat the wall plug as the starting point, but for JB the comparison may get even worse. “Petrol cars are around 50% efficient” In your dreams, Andrew. While one of these modern inject engines, with turbo chargers, might approach that on a dynamometer, when new, and at full load, it just doesn’t take into consideration that virtually any heat engine loses thermal efficiency at part loads. Your vehicle might well have “140 kW” listed in its spec sheet, but on level ground at constant speed under the speed limit it need only develop 30 kW. Under these conditions the efficiency suffers quite dramatically. “I must be missing something, ” A functioning brain !! Now, now! JB’s inability to do the arithmetic to check if the “solution” will scale to the size of the “problem” doesn’t indicate a non-functioning brain. It does rather reflect the prevalent “perspective” of those recluded in academia during the income-”earning” phase of what they imagine to be their lives. After dinner with an emeritus professor and a few other friends a week ago, an invitation arrived from UWA to pay to celebrate the university’s 100th anniversary. As it happened, dinner conversation had reminded me of a poem, written by Henry Lawson a few years before the University was founded. The emailed invitation from UWA gave me a fresh insight into that poem; Lawson’s “Australian Engineers”; reading as I had not done before. It struck me, that for all the persistent brouhaha and “intellectual” self-congratulation; that not much has been achieved to improve Australia’s condition in a century. Aspirations unfilled. We must ask; “If not to improve the condition, what is the purpose of universities and education?” That poem is awesome. To make electric cars economically viable we would need to build several dozen new COAL FIRED power station (or nuclear), plus the delivery infrastructure to go with it. All that yummy copper production !! (and another few new COAL FIRED power stations needed) No other technology can possibly provide the power needed for a significant percentage of electric cars. Saint Brookes of Erehwon says: “You would normally charge them overnight, I presume on a timer, so they’d be consuming power when not much else was.” Not much else was…like the whole of heavy industry, pillock. What kind of world these twats live in that they think everyone is comfy tucked up in bed like they are! At last I see! Erehwon is nowhere backwards! John Brookes, the math might be easier for you if you work it out this way: 104 liters of gasoline = about 1 megawatt-hour (potential at 100% efficiency). This is about 27.5 US gallons and a little less if diesel. So go search the records for fuel sales in AU in liters, simple math and assume 60% efficiency. Then compare that to generating capacity nation wide. You’ll be amazed at just how much energy is sloshing around in petrol tanks. Here is a handy converter I found on the web: http://www.convertunits.com/from/gallon+%5BU.S.%5D+of+automotive+gasoline/to/megawatthour What you are saying is that there is a lot of wasted electricity that the cars would use. There are two sides to this. One the one side, (at least in Britain), there is a lot of investment in power generation to minimize the waste. For instance, use of gas-fired power stations which can be brought on-stream quite quickly. On the other side is the extra power demand on the grid. A car battery might contain 20-30kw of power. My small house uses less than half that daily (including for cooking, but not for heating or water). Even with our low mileage (7000 p.a. per car – my wife has a car as well)- our household electricity consumption would double or quadruple. If the majority of drivers went electric Britain’s (or Australia’s) total demand for electricity would more than double. Your claim about real estate coming free from filling stations closing is bunkum for the foreseeable future. Electric vehicles have a limited range and a recharge period of several hours. For electric cars to be really viable they would need to have an internal combustion engine to take over when the battery goes flat to enable longer journeys. There has to be a step change in the technology, as well as a massive cost decrease in the vehicle cost for that to happen. you are missing a lot of things brookes, most of all a correctly functioning brain I guess we can all be excused once for having a ‘blonde moment’ ! John B – If we all had electric cars and charged the batteries at night then the grid would literally collapse. This extra EV demand would be around double our current energy demand so there would no longer be an off-peak period at night. Also, the grid is only ~20% efficient, so it makes no sense to burn 500% more (fossil fuel) energy than currently required. Not to forget the limited lifespan (~5yrs) of current batteries and the resulting waste and environmental issue of discarding all the toxic used cells on mass. btw – just consider the biggest issue of converting everyone to EVs… Our total national security dependance would be on the grid. Thus, when there were natural disasters and the grid was impacted for days or weeks (as happens almost every year with cyclones, floods, etc) then whole regions would be paralised and lives put at risk. Not to mention wartime where your enemy could target the grid with immediate crippling impacts. It is essential to maintain our existing domestic petrolium based energy and transport for this very reason. IMO – Any political organisation that advocates a push towards 100% EVs should not be taken seriously. It is all completely political. The sole intent of the public school system and its subsequent deterioration, the clamour for Federal control of everything, the centralised planning mindset of bureaucracy, the attacks on freedom of speech, the GHE myth and its attack on our energy production and distribution, the NBN to monoplise all communication, is all part of a political posturing to hasten teh decline of Western civilistation. The electric vehicle propaganda fits the bill, since with one single EMP burst the whole shebang; energy, communications, transportation, would be all shut down. Just as putting all your eggs in one financial basket is dumb, putting the entire basis of your civilisation in one electricity grid is suicidal. To these we can add the attacks on family, (the conerstone of of a community), attacks on religion, etc. I should add: 4 year or 50,000 mile, whichever comes first, new vehicle limited warranty 40 kWh battery has a 8 year or 100,000 mile, whichever comes first, warranty Unicorns have a million-mile (limited) warranty. Assuming the company is still around for you to collect on the warranty. I own and operate three motor vehicles, two are 4WDs and one is a FWD wagon. The FWD wagon has 4 cylinders and 2600cc capacity and runs on petrol, I use 95 octane and achieve 9.5-10.0 litres per 100KM. The other wagon is 3500cc capacity and runs on Liquid Petroleum Gas and petrol 95 octane to start and warm up or on long trips when the LPG runs out, my son drives it mostly. It uses 13 litres of petrol per 100KM or 15 litres of LPG. If it was the latest injected LPG the consumption differential would be minimal. The third is a 4WD diesel van people mover equipped with LPG injection, it runs on a mixture of diesel and LPG combined. Consumption typically 9.5-10.0 litres of diesel plus 20% LPG or max 1.7 litres per 100KM. By mixing LPG and diesel combustion is about 95% whereas diesel by itself would be about 80% and the unused diesel would be black smoke and extra soot in the engine oil. So, mixing these fuels the oil stays cleaner for longer, oil changes 10,000KM instead of 5,000KM. Obviously emissions are lower for diesel and LPG and LPG emissions are lower than petrol. Australia has more LPG than we can use, store or export. The Howard Coalition government recognised this and created an incentive program to encourage conversion to LPG. Labor have wound back that scheme and have increase LPG tax. Electric offers many advantages but at this point in time electric vehicles are too expensive and are impractical for most user applications. I believe the best is from Tesla US, but heavily subsidised by the socialist government doing what socialists do, picking winners and using taxpayer monies to make it happen. Of course manufacturers will make whatever the market wants if they can make money, government subsidies, taxpayer money, is of course an incentive to create whatever, profit is profit. But the future of electric vehicles should not be subsidised, when the technology is right the price will be right and the user friendly technology will be right. Please explain how Australian governments, federal and state, can subsidies vehicle manufacturing with taxpayer’s monies, now all borrowed, and then buy imports? How could they drive Toyota Prius (Greens too) and ignore the local vehicles and LPG? Madness. Socialist Green stupidity and lack of common sense. I forgot to add that conversion to diesel/gas, diesel/lpg, the power and torque increases by 20% measured by dynometer at the rear wheels. What amuses me is all the guff about hydrogen as a fuel. The rocket industry has been grappling with that since WW2. Hydrogen is far superior liquid rocket fuel compared to kerosene. But storing and handling it has been found so immensely difficult, expensive, technically demanding and risk laden that current preference is for kerosene based propulsion. Using hydrogen for fuel…yes IT IS “rocket science” and the idea of powering automobiles with it is as batty as fitting them with nuclear reactors. Now, nuclear propulsion for rockets DOES make sense. A hydrogen storage tank is a huge extra load for a motor vehicle. JDK The government sponsored academics models predict that there will be record-breaking heatwaves across the entire continent. However the empirical evidence is clear, climate change is a hoax and a scam. Tim Crome Living in Norway you get a lot of exposue to EVs. The authorities here do eveything possible to encourage them. No duty, no road tax, free use of buss lanes, free parking in city centres, free charging, etc.. The end result is that wealthy families, especially west of Oslo, have an EV in addition to their other cars to cater for their daily commuting needs, instead of using public transport. For the weekends and longer trips it’s back to the SUV. In 2011 I drove 4500km in Europe in 3 weeks in the summer holidays. We counted EVs during the trip and ended up with a grand total of 4, 2 of which were seen on the outskirts of Munich during the rush hour. Not long afterwards, while sitting in the morning queue to work I counted 75 EVs going past in the bus lane. If I wasn’t aware of the real issues asso ciated with them I’d be tempted! Here, in the People’s Republic of Cambridge, for the piffling amount of £12000 (Sterling), in 2008 the City Council installed a charging point for electric cars. Its been used…. three times… Oh – and last night a sudden snowfall stranded hundreds of cars on the M6 motorway for eight hours (cue building of snowmen in the fast lane – and snowball fights beween the northbound and southbound motorists)… Now – just imagine for a moment if they’d all been electric cars….! A friend of mine was trapped in snow in Somerset last week and had to spend the night in his MX5. I guess if he had been in an electric cart the battery would have died and so would he of hypothermia. I suppose that’d be OK by our Eco-twats though as it would help “save the planet”.. wow – what a lot of BS here. Yes we would need to build a new set of power stations to feed these new electric cars – so what! It’s better the power generation is in a central base where it can be controlled as opposed to hundreds of cars spewing out exhaust willy nilly as we do today. Electric motors and charging systems are very efficient. Way more efficient than the liquid petrol/diesel systems we currently operate. No they aren’t when complete cycle efficiencies are calculated. I suspect you have not the faintest idea of what “efficiency” means! Ah yes, only a Green mind would conclude that burning more fossil fuel in power stations and then sending it to households via the grid to charge electric cars, where 80% of this energy is lost in the grid as inductive loss, is a great idea. Why not just continue to burn the fossil fuel in the car ? Agreed. Central power generation and electric vehicles will be more efficient than burning petrol/diesel/lpg in individual cars. Are you certain? What does “efficiency” mean to you? I notice you use the term “will be”. You might have noticed that only 49 silly government departments purchased IMiEV’s. Does that make “will be” some sort of certainty in your mind? To put it another way, is your expectation that everyone in the country will lose their cotton-picking mind? ….and electric vehicles will be more efficient than burning petrol/diesel/lpg in individual cars.

The Presidential Reconition Award is the highest honor that the society grants its members. It aims to recognize a surgeon’s dedication and contributions to the field of refractive surgery and to the society. “It is such an honor to be regarded highly by my colleagues internationally,” Ang said. “Asian Eye and I invest in a lot of research because we know how much difference it can make in our patients’ lives. By discovering innovative yet effective and safe ways to treat various eye conditions, we are not only able to help protect and preserve their vision. We are also able to help them live and enjoy good quality of life. That has always been our goal.” Ang is one of only two recipients this year and the lone Filipino who has ever received the prestigious international award. The Presidential Recognition Award is not the first special award of Ang. Among his notable recognitions include the Asia-Pacific Association of Cataract and Refractive Surgery (APACRS) Certified Educators Award in 2013; Top Gun Instructors Award from the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery (ASCRS) in 2017; and the Power List Top 100 from “The Ophthalmologist” magazine in 2018. Ang and the Asian Eye research team have also received Best Paper recognitions from ASCRS, APACRS and the Asia-Pacific Academy of Ophthalmology. Today, Asian Eye has one of the most comprehensive refractive solutions in the Philippines, including photorefractive keratectomy (PRK), LASIK, Supracor and implantable contact lenses (ICLs). This enables the 18-year-old institute to provide patients with solutions that are tailored to their needs and lifestyles. Asian Eye chief operating officer Alwin Sta. Rosa said: “We are very proud of Dr. Ang. This award is a realization and a testament to our founders’ vision, which is to provide Filipinos access to quality eye care and the latest eye care innovations. Now, they don’t have to seek eye treatment abroad because it is available here. We also find that many foreign patients choose to get their eye treatment here.” Ang’s research interests involve cataract, glaucoma and refractive errors. Apart from authoring several local and international publications, he has been a key resource speaker at various international conferences. A partner of the American Academy of Ophthalmology, ISRS is the leading worldwide organization for refractive and cataract surgeons. Subscribe to Lopezlink Lopez Holdings Corp.

__label__wiki	0.608207	0.608207	Daniel Hannan – A Reckoning? I made a flippant aside on MEP Daniel Hannan last week, then spotted fellow Lib Dem blogger Mark Thompson taking a diametrically opposite view. I did the Liberal thing and chipped in to argue; forced to think harder about what I was writing, I came up with something more thorough and rather better in his comments thread. Mr Hannan can have his opinions (contradictorily, if he likes). So what? I can have mine, too. Free speech doesn’t mean he should be immune from criticism. And if a politician implies different things about immigration to different audiences, gosh, colour me stunned. It would hardly be the first time an ambitious Tory made libertarian noises to one crowd, and sent out a Powellite dog-whistle to others. Did he say, ‘Enoch Powell is my hero, but I would also like to point out that I have a substantially different view on immigration and race’? Of course not. Confronting both audiences with a single message spoils the whole effect for an ambitious politician, whatever their party and whatever the two messages they’re carefully keeping apart, and perhaps most of all in pandering to racism to make yourself look like a right-wing tough guy contrast to that anaemic Mr Cameron. So imagine my surprise when I got back home a couple of days later to find that I’d grievously offended the Dan Hannan fan club, to the extent that they’ve plastered the thread with outrage at me! Tee hee :D I’ve ploughed my way through it all, and it’s not terribly edifying. I reckon I’ve made my case, so there’s not a lot of point in replying forty places down to say the same thing again. If you’ve got half an hour to spare, though, you can read it yourself and make up your own mind. There’s a piece by Nick Barlow that links to us both, too. Unfortunately, I think my problem with what’s there – not repeating my original points – is rather less with the criticism of me than with how Mark seems to react to criticism of him. He exploded onto the Lib Dem blogosphere and national media with an unusual blog piece that combined dogged hard analysis and inspiration. It’s a shame that to ‘prove’ his point about Mr Hannan, Mark’s commitment to linguistic accuracy is so much less rigorous than his statistical accuracy. When both Asquith and Duncan Stott take issue with Mark’s ‘quoting’ of Tony Blair, first putting it in context and then providing what Mr Blair actually said… Well, Mark’s been caught out being very misleading to make a point. But, bizarrely, Mark still sticks to it. I loathed Mr Blair, and argued many times that he was pure poison to British politics. But I didn’t have to change what he said to make my case – it was quite bad enough. So, Mark, it’s cheap and stupid to state that a Conservative explicitly choosing to pick and praise Enoch Powell as his sole example of a British political hero is exactly equivalent to a Prime Minister expressing a politely mealy-mouthed tribute with caveats when faced with the death of a formerly important political figure. What’s cheaper and more stupid is that Mark pretends political statements never have a context… And that, to prove it (as Asquith and Duncan demonstrate) he has to ignore all context to Mr Hannan’s comments, then deliberately hack away the context to Mr Blair’s. Ignore the things Mr Hannan didn’t say, and hide the things Mr Blair did? That’s not an honest argument. And neither is Mark constantly protesting that free speech means that a politician can say whatever he likes – which he can – but that then somehow wrong for anyone to exercise their own free speech in criticising him (I would never say he doesn’t have the right to say what he did; but if people then disagree with something you’ve said, you don’t bleat ‘Not fair – they must shut up’!). I thought what I had to say about Mr Hannan was sharpened and improved by engaging with Mark in debate about it; it’s a shame his idea of engagement appears to be both one-sided and misleading. I say the above because I’m disappointed by a Lib Dem blogger who I’ve read being logical, thought-provoking and – though I frequently disagree with him – fair by his own lights. This twisting words and arguments to fake up a point… He’s better than that. All Mr Hannan’s supporters flocking about to spit at anyone who has the temerity to argue with him are just funny, though. I write a reasoned, evidence-based argument about political context; anonymous Hannan supporters first deny that any politics has any context at all, then make up a context for me (hypocrisy? What hypocrisy?) as a smear, that I’m “left” and Downing Street’s my favourite. Heh! Who knew? It’s almost as if they were utterly unable to answer a single one of my arguments, and had to sling abuse in exactly the same way I didn’t. I can’t remember the last time ‘criticism’ of me’s made me smile so much. I believe the word is ‘pwned’. The eagle-eyed among you may have noticed that this was originally the middle of my previous post, Wuthering, Wuthering, Wuthering… I’d intended to write a quick little compilation post, putting together a paragraph or two on each of three or so things I was thinking about this evening. Being me, they grew. I posted it, then Richard pointed out that ‘light-hearted but lengthy piece about a book / lashings of hard politics / light-hearted but lengthy piece about another book’ didn’t really go together. Ironically given the subject of this post, in woozily writing more and more, I’d lost sight of the context. So here it is, plucked out on its own and probably looking harsher than I’d intended as a result (Richard did suggest the alternative of leaving this where it was and pruning it down to just two key paragraphs, but being me…). Labels: Bigotry, Blogs, Conservatives, The Golden Dozen Wuthering, Wuthering, Wuthering… Tonight’s big TV event is ITV1’s new version of Wuthering Heights, for which I have an especially nerdy anecdote and a couple of fabulous YouTubes. It’s the great romantic story where the ‘hero’ is a brooding psychopath… Gordon Brown brilliantly took the man as his role model without looking at the context – what today’s called a “Daniel Hannan” (on which note, I Reckon Mark Thompson’s not covered himself in glory). In other news, Richard and I have been away visiting our parents, though I swapped groovy Manchester Pride for the dentist and re-read Professor Bernice Summerfield’s The Joy Device… It’s many years since I’ve been to Manchester Pride – perhaps even before that was its name. And tempting as it was to pop along yesterday while we were in town, we drove back home instead; it was a lovely couple of days with parents, and friends, and sister, and brother, and nephew, and niece, but unfortunately set off with a dental visit involving lots of drilling, infection, and having to make three follow-up appointments. So with the pain, the painkillers and the antibiotics, Richard sensed I was a little woozy and not up to much. Don’t be too surprised, then, if I only write little nibbles this evening. On a special Pride note, though, I refer you to John Abrams, who I’m certain was there and who wrote three excellent pieces at the end of last week: on gay people’s progress; celebrating the life of Alan Turing; and, yay for John, winning an apology and a correction from Auntie Beeb when they talked provable rubbish! I know what you’re thinking. ‘Alex is going to do a 4000-word review of a 162-year-old book. I can’t wait!’ Well… No, sorry. It’s, oh dear, about twenty years since I read it, which means that my main memory of the book is just about the only exam in my life I’ve really enjoyed. It was largely because it was my final A-Level exam (yikes, nineteen years ago! And congratulations to our sixteen-year-old nephew, who we saw this week after doing rather well on his GCSEs), the second General Studies paper, but also because it gave me a chance to camp it up with a bit of creative writing (must have gone down well, too: they gave me an A). I answered all the questions bar one, then entertained myself with all the time I had left writing an essay which asked for an assessment of works of art in different media – so I compared the Emily Brontë book, the Laurence Olivier film and the Kate Bush song. Happy days! You’ll probably remember, as I do, the famous video of shimmering white Kate dancing against black for her first and biggest hit. You may not be so familiar, though, with the alternative video of our Kate weirding it up in red, in the forest. And I’m willing to bet that you haven’t seen Robert and Alistair Lock’s rather fabulous, tasteless home-made version, Mothering Swines. You should. In the meantime, the big question for tonight and tomorrow’s new adaptation is – will they do the whole book, or just the bits people usually remember? The key thing I remember from reading the novel is being surprised that half of the book is Wuthering Heights: The Next Generation. Oops! Is that a spoiler? Depends if they put it in… …So I’d better not write anything about A Pocket Full of Rye, the first Agatha Christie I’ve ever read – on an impulse from our local library, picking up the first Miss Marple for which I couldn’t remember the story from the TV – as, though the differences between the book and the Joan Hickson adaptation are fascinating, ITV1 are mounting a new version of that next week. Even though they rudely name the series after a place I used to walk to all the time in my teens, rather than Miss Marple the character. All I’ll say is that: surprisingly, Mrs Christie’s novel is very funny in parts (and far less abbreviated); that for a couple of years, I used to live in the same Essex village that Joan Hickson did, and she wasn’t as loveable as the hard-eyed angel of vengeance that she played; that the person behind the murders was indeed one of the three I mentally shortlisted, though (again surprisingly) one of them didn’t make it to the 1985 TV at all; and that the probable reason I didn’t remember their identity from TV is that, though they have the same name and basic place in the narrative, their character is hugely different. A Reckoning? …Er, has been moved! Professor Bernice Summerfield’s The Joy Device “I want to be happy.” Ten years ago, Doctor Who was looking a bit shaky. The series had been dropped by the BBC, and the 1996 TV Movie (Time Waits For No Man) hadn’t been picked up for more. The most brilliant, influential and coherent continuation of Doctor Who between 1989 and 2005 – Virgin’s New Adventures novels – had lost their licence, too, and nothing else had really taken off instead. The BBC’s own series of novels was producing flashes of inspiration and long stretches of dreck, and Big Finish’s Doctor Who audio dramas had only just started, not yet hitting their heights. One of the saddest competing shards of Doctor Who were the Doctorless continuing New Adventures novels with the fabulous companion Professor Bernice Summerfield – unloved by the publishing house, constantly on the brink of cancellation, and reading like a grudge war between the two incompatible authors handling most of what was left of the range. Now Benny’s got a large and successful range of Big Finish audios that are still fun and still carrying on, but back in 1999 her book series apparently died with a whimper. And yet just before the end there was a return to fun and quality, entirely unexpectedly, in Justin Richards’ The Joy Device. If you can track down this novel – which wasn’t so much released as escaped – it’s one of Benny’s most entertaining adventures, despite expectations. By all accounts, Justin Richards was writing half the books at enormous speed (though I’m waiting to get hold of Simon Guerrier’s big book of Benny to find out The Inside Story), and most of his, ah, passed the time adequately, usually with walking corpses. But you wouldn’t rave about them. But then came The Joy Device, the penultimate book of the range, which I read while having a joyless time staying at a god-awful hotel in New Brighton for the job I was in at the time. And it cheered me up enormously. Put simply, Benny decides that being an academic who spends her life sorting through an art collection doesn’t sound thrilling, and goes off on a trip to the Rim of known space for excitement, adventure and really wild things, with her own pet Indiana Jones as a tour guide (yes, he is a male version of Benny). What could possibly go wrong? Well, of course there are muggers, murderers and a Maltese Falcon-like collection of gangsters hunting a mysterious artefact, but Benny pretty much misses all of that. Because the thing I really enjoyed about this book, and have just enjoyed all over again on grabbing a book to comfort myself with when off to the dentist, is that her friends worry that she’ll either get herself killed or like it too much back on the edge, and set off after her to get there before her and, essentially, spoil all her fun. And, yes, that in itself is a spoiler, but it’s not the biggest challenge to work out: every peril’s defused, every threat moved out of the way, all to make sure that before she gets into a thrilling situation it’s been made as boring as possible. And it’s very funny. Particularly the very literal angel (though don’t look at the pretty cover too closely). The bit I always remember is – unsurprisingly to anyone who’s followed Benny’s adventures – in a bar, though coffee’s a bigger threat. There’s a lot of fun here. Boredom is, of course, by definition not that exciting, but having to stretch every sinew to set up boredom is very entertaining indeed. Yes, it’s full of appalling clichés (mainly from self-buffing adventurer Harper Dent), but only to send them all up mercilessly, and there’s an inspired idea at the heart of it all, too. Dorpfeld’s Prism, the MacGuffin everyone’s chasing, has the effect of blinding you to reality and making everything seem so much rosier than it really is – which is exactly what Benny’s friends are arranging to happen to her. It’s just that while the gangsters and wheeler-dealers want it as an escape from their vicious existences, it’s boring Bernice senseless. Pretty much every contemporary review I remember reading of this said how dreadfully clichéd it was. I suspect by that time too many of the books had spiralled into such a grim ordeal that everyone had forgotten they were meant to be amusing. If you read it, don’t make the same mistake. If you want grim and horrid, grab a Brontë. Labels: Bigotry, Blogs, Books, Conservatives, Gay, Music, New Adventures, Personal, Professor Bernice Summerfield Beating Up Bankers Is Good For Them – Regulator Or, when homophones attack! I woke up this morning to find The Today Programme announcing that Lord Turner, Chair of the Financial Services Authority, wanted attacks on bankers with excessive bonuses. Woozily, I heard that because people like Fred Goodwin were “socially useless,” it would be fine to vandalise his Edinburgh home, as happened a few months ago, or perhaps give the man a good going-over with a baseball bat. If the FSA Chair – who’s worked with these scum for so many years – has now concluded this is the only language they understand, who was I to disagree? Clearly, lots of other people had heard the rather more radical than intended proposal that I did, so by the end of the programme, the headlines had carefully split up the words. Lord Turner said there should be a… new… bankers’… tax. Ah. Attacks. A tax. Look, after a month of being more ill than usual, I’ve been having raging toothache this week and am zombied out on lack of sleep and surplus of painkillers. It was an easy mistake to make. In other news, a health warning. If, like me, you’re a bit out of it today, don’t look into the scary boggling eyes of Daniel Hannan. Still less listen to his latest coded message to supporters that, ‘it’s fine, under all the “liberal progressive oxymoronic Conservative” veneer, don’t lose heart, we’re still evil and hate poor people (let them die!) and black people (send them away!)’. You might have nightmares. Update: Mark is more generous to Mr Hannan. I disagree. Labels: Bigotry, Conservatives, Health, The Golden Dozen, The Today Programme Silly Season Stories – We Have A Winner! We may be barely mid-way through August, but I’m going to stick my neck out and say we’ve already had the winner of this year’s “Silly Season” news stories. If you were listening to Radio 4 at about a quarter to eight yesterday morning, the Today Programme had a feature on the epidemiology of zombie movies, revealing that a zombie infestation would lead to the collapse of civilisation unless terminated with extreme prejudice. You can still hear it on iPlayer, but be careful – it’s followed by Anne Atkins on Thought For the Day, and she will eat your brains. Zombies On The Today Programme: How Could They Tell? Apparently, research carried out at two universities in Ottawa using mathematical models of epidemiology warned that the only language zombies understand is to cut their goolies off chop their heads off at once, rather than pussyfoot around looking for a cure or containing the infectees. Although one of the UK’s leading swine flu advisers purported to dismiss the findings as “a little over-pessimistic,” expect our panicking Labour Government to issue swine flu warnings shortly involving guillotines, though with the saving grace of too long a waiting list to give many people the chop. Of course, there is an ultra-violent alternative to this nasty ultraviolence. As any fule kno, sending that wet liberal Judge Dredd off in an armoured killer-truck to deliver a vaccine to the infected will work just as well, provided he can avoid such deadly perils as US Army vampire robots – of which more later, in case you thought they weren’t real – and the even more terrifying copyright lawyers for McDonalds, Burger King and the Jolly Green Giant (I have those issues, though if you own any of the graphic novel reprints, you’ll find four episodes curiously missing). You’ll no doubt be aware that news programmes are infamous for sexing up their reports and distorting perfectly sensible and serious scientific works, so here’s a link to the full report, the sober and respectable When Zombies Attack!: Mathematical Modelling of an Outbreak of Zombie Infestation. One of the authors is Professor Robert Smith? – question mark included – which may help explain the erratic punctuation of the otherwise dull and unobjectionable title. This morning’s Today Programme was much less interesting; I switched on shortly after half-six to hear Evan Davis exclaim “-anker,” and cheerily assumed he’d finally taken his mission as Today’s sole interviewer who tells it as it is to its logical conclusion. But instead of telling a Labour minister what he thought of them, it turned out to be an item about tragedies in Sri Lanka, meaning I started my morning with the burden of guilt over inappropriate levity. US Army Discovers Sustainability At Cyber’s Diner Naturally, zombie research is far from the only “Silly Season” news story calling out for attention, but having precipitately offered the award, I should explain why I’ve ruled out two other obvious front-runners. You might think that the clear favourite “Silly Season” story over the past few weeks is the thought that Peter Mandelson might become Prime Minster, but while in itself it’s absurd – OK, so he’s just about the only Labour minister who’s not a/ incompetent and b/ terrified right now, but he’s in the Lords until at the very least the General Election, probably for ever, he’s sufficiently hated in enough of the Labour Party that he could never win a Leadership election, and even Labour MPs aren’t stupid enough to inflict another unelected Leader on their party after how the current one’s turned out – many would object that the Government, while certainly stupid, are too dangerous to be labelled “Silly”. With the zombie infestation “New Labour” still pushing us very close to “the collapse of civilisation,” comparing so vile a condition to something as harmless as a world-threatening undead epidemic is in poor taste. My favourite story of the “Silly Season” also has to be ruled out of contention for the “Silly” prize by virtue of being truly quite scary. In answer to the twin conundrums of soldiers’ body bags and climate change, the US Army has commissioned a battlefield robot. You know that episode of The Simpsons in which Lisa encourages a bankrupt Mr Burns to discover the effectiveness of recycling, with lucrative but horrific results? Well, imagine something probably less lucrative – except for the weapons manufacturers, natch – but far more horrific. Yes, the US Army is looking to bring into service an “Energetically Autonomous Tactical Robot,” or “EATR,” which can trundle around the battlefield killing people but, replacing soldiers, can’t be killed itself. And, to avoid wasteful fossil fuel use, it will run itself off organic matter that it finds lying about the battlefield. Now, hands up at the back of the class anyone who can tell me a/ how likely it is to be able to distinguish civilians from combatants and b/ what the most prominent, juicily fuel-filled organic matter lying around any given battlefield will be? A clue to the latter: headlines like “Darpa’s Self-Feeding Sentry Robot Is Not A Man-Eater, Company Protests,” reminding me of nothing so much as Good King Yulfric the Wise the Third’s expostulation “The Evil Flesh-Eating Lord of Kraan is not a cannibal! I don’t know why everyone thinks he is!” from Hordes of the Things. The Guardian helpfully reported: “‘We completely understand the public’s concern about futuristic robots feeding on the human population, but that is not our mission,’ said Harry Schoell, the chief executive of Cyberdyne Power Technologies, one of the companies behind the machine.” “That is not our mission”?! And, apparently, the EATR can be programmed not to recognise human flesh as a top source of nutrients. Well, I’m reassured. If you want a break from all this real-world undead horror, tonight at 11pm BBC4 is broadcasting Gods and Monsters, a rather lovely and barbedly witty film about the last days of James Whale, one of Hollywood’s foremost filmmakers and homosexualists. Ian McKellen stars as Mr Whale, with the lovely Brendan Fraser as his incredibly buff gardener. Both actors are superb, in a film that covers 1950s mores, Hollywood hypocrisy, being out as gay fifty years before your time, the trenches of the First World War and the making of probably the finest film of the Twentieth Century, Bride of Frankenstein. While perhaps the key scene is the tragic revelation of the stroke-reduced limits of Mr Whale’s talents, and what they mean for the characters, I still fondly remember the way we hooted with laughter at the death scene, and how everyone else in the cinema looked round and glared at us. That’s the peril of going to an arthouse cinema to see what, despite the po-faced patrons, is – like Bride of Frankenstein – a comedy about death. Labels: Comics, Frankenstein, Health, Labour, Radio, Stupid Ideas, Technology, The Today Programme Please Come To Our Wedding, And Deny Your Own (FOSVP) Astoundingly, our identikit Labour machine politician local MP Jim Fitzpatrick (aka Fitzpanic) has been in the national news after years of anonymity. He and his wife went to a wedding the other day, apparently, but they walked out on being told they had to be segregated to separate rooms. To see who was being rude to whom, though, there are two questions that need answering. Obviously, given that I’ve been getting my news from journalists, none of them have answered those key questions – instead just framing everything in inane ‘pro-or-anti-Muslim’ political arguments to whip up bad feeling all round (and that, ironically, they’ve all reported the decision as if it was his alone, and his wife silently obeyed his commands). The two questions are: Did the invitation make it clear – or even give any indication – that couples attending the wedding were, ironically, to be forcibly broken up for the event? And those idiots who’ve said ‘It’s the Muslim custom’, as if every Muslim practices rigorous sexual apartheid, are talking out of their apertures. Who told the press about this? Because if we’re meant to decide who’s rude and who isn’t, blatantly the people dragging the wedding into the media are the ones who are the rudest. Was it the MP, grandstanding to get his face on TV? In which case, that was rude – he should just have left, and left it at that. Or was it the bride and groom, grandstanding to make their own political point? In which case, they’ve cashed in on their union in a tackier way than selling the rights to Hello! with product placement by Playboy. So all the resultant media explosion about ‘rude MP’ and ‘all Muslims are the same’ is just so much eyewash. If Mr Fitzpanic and his wife didn’t know what was going to happen in advance, just decided to leave on finding out, and then found themselves exploded all over the press, then well done them. They did the right thing and shouldn’t be pilloried for it. If he went along with a plan in mind, tipping off the press he was making a stunt, then he’s a git. And much as I hate to defend my local Labour MP, the fact that this has all exploded after the fact rather than showing photos of him storming out does rather suggest the former. What Would I Do? Well, in a similar situation, I’d ask Richard, of course, or he’d ask me, and I hope Mr Fitzpanic asked his wife. Then we’d tell our hosts to fuck off. I can think of nothing more absurd, nothing more wrong, and nothing more calculatedly anti-marriage at a wedding than telling couples they have to split up. I mean, really. ‘Celebrate our wedding by denying that you’re together?’ I don’t think so. Even if you don’t share my own moral conviction that being together means you’re both equal. What does telling a couple they have to be segregated into separate rooms at a wedding tell them: Our marriage is the only important one – yours isn’t? One of you is important – the other isn’t? We assume you’re so sexually insatiable that you’ll rip each others’ clothes off and frighten the horses during the ceremony? Similarly, a mixed-race couple going along to a wedding where the bride and groom told them on arrival, ‘Look, we have no problem with you, and we’re not discriminatory, but you know, a lot of the older members of our families vote BNP, so one of you can be in the chapel but the other can listen from the servant’s quarters’ would at the very least be expected to walk out rather than bow their heads and accept that, ‘Well, that must be your cultural background which we’ll meekly accede to, rather than your own prejudices that you want to weasel out of responsibility for’. If I were invited to a wedding but told not to bring Richard because people might be offended, not only would I decline, but I doubt I would speak to the people inviting me again (not without a lot of swearing, anyway). If we turned up and were told we had to sit apart, not dance together, not kiss or hold hands like most couples do at the key moments, because – not that the bride and groom were prejudiced at all, but you know, the families were very religious… Depending on how generous I was feeling, I’d ask them if they were joking, or tell them to grow a spine, or we’d just leave. What a thing to ask a couple. It’s your choice how you stage your wedding, but if you choose to hold it at Bigots-R-Us, don’t act all offended if some of the people you invite won’t give up their choice not to like it. The bottom line, surely, is that a wedding is a celebration of people getting together, and that nothing can be ruder and more bizarre than insisting that people do that by being forced apart. We have, though, been to a wedding where the bride and groom have encouraged us to be as couply as we like and be tactile with the ostracized gay cousin just to make sure that the disapproving religious side of the family knew that the happy couple didn’t approve of them. And all right, there was that one wedding where our presence was a bit of an issue and we were sat some way apart, but that was complicated and we laugh about it now… And even then, we knew in advance what it would be like. And no-one called the papers. Nude Is Not Rude I notice sadly that yet another council are prudishly forbidding people from being naked on a naturist beach (“warning: video contains tiny-minded locals”). Top marks to reporter Paul MacInnes, and he’s not “horribly ugly” at all – though rolled eyes to the Carry On-style music, and the predictably homophobic interviewees. Shame on Waveney District Council; there are few enough places you can get nude in public, and petty-minded so-and-sos are always trying to chip away at them. Not only should they get themselves lives and stop ordering people around, but it’s at times like these that I almost wish I was a Star Trek fan. Then I could turn up nude at weddings and bellow that traditional Betazoid dress was my ‘cultural tradition’. Labels: Bigotry, British Politics, Gay, Meddling In Things That Are Nobody's Business But Your Own, Naturism, Personal, Religion, Richard, Stupid Ideas, The Golden Dozen DVD Taster: The Black Guardian Trilogy I’m rather late with this week’s Doctor Who DVD release, but there’s plenty of it: The Black Guardian Trilogy Box Set from 1983 (and how very 1983) stars Peter Davison as the Doctor across three stories and a new ‘Special Edition’ of the finale. It’s an intriguing set, though not an upbeat one – all three stories evoke the Flying Dutchman and hint at vampirism, though they do so in very different styles. Mawdryn Undead opens the set as rock opera, elegiac, flawed but compelling; the closing Enlightenment is captivating, inspired and beautiful; but Terminus in the middle is… Drab. Back in 1978-9, the series was given over to the rather fabulous quest for the Key To Time, six linked stories which ended with the Doctor apparently turning his back on both the White Guardian (God – or is he?) and the Black Guardian (the Devil – or is he?), with the latter – if, indeed, there was ever any difference between them – vowing vengeance on him. In 1983, the Black Guardian returned for three linked stories (four episodes to each) in which he enlisted a young man, Turlough, to kill the Doctor. Turlough, then, becomes a rather refreshing change to most of the Doctor’s companions, having something of an ulterior motive when he joins the TARDIS crew. These three stories are rather more Turlough’s than the Black Guardian’s, though both are pictured with the Doctor on the rather nice DVD box set cover, and despite being a sequel to The Key To Time, you don’t need to have watched it first. In fact, this Trilogy’s probably best not watched back-to-back with the ’70s stories. Despite both storylines sailing as close to fantasy and magic as Doctor Who ever does, the ’80s set has a very different feel, not least in that the Guardians are no longer mysterious presences each scary in their own right, and possibly both the same person – subtlety has left the production office and strict Manichean dualism is in, with the Black Guardian now very definitely evil and having enormous fun cackling to prove it, while the once cold and frightening White Guardian eventually appears as now a rather ineffectual but nice old gent whom the Doctor regards as thoroughly trustworthy rather than a bullying sky git. Remarkably, while the overarching characters are comparatively crass, the scripts themselves are rather subtle, leading to an intriguing mix of moods in which the Black Guardian himself often stands out like a sore duck, though his ostentatious villainy’s always hugely entertaining. If you want more of the Guardians, incidentally, Big Finish this year released The Key 2 Time, another set of three linked stories (plus prequel The Prisoner’s Dilemma), also rather good, which as the name implies follow on not only from The Black Guardian Trilogy but from the events of The Key To Time – and for these CDs, you are better off watching the TV stories first. The Judgement of Isskar, The Destroyer of Delights and The Chaos Pool all again star Peter Davison, with some rather fine work by actors such as David Troughton, Lalla Ward and Being Human’s Jason Watkins in some occasionally surprising roles… Mawdryn Undead Given any set of stories, usually the one I’d pick as ‘the best’ and ‘my favourite’ would be the same. Occasionally, though, while one story appeals to my head as clearly of superior quality, another will win my heart even when it fails. In this set, Enlightenment is clearly the best story, but there’s something fascinating about Mawdryn Undead, even though other bits are curiously disappointing (and I’ll cross Terminus when I come to it). I love the mournful intelligence of this story, but it’s not exactly all pulling in the same direction: a gently haunting morality tale with the overblown look and sound of a rock opera, scripted so every fifth line is incomprehensible jargon. But many of the other four lines are gorgeous. If you’ve followed The Sarah Jane Adventures, you may find some of this story eerily familiar (or, to a lesser extent, if you’ve seen Doctor Who: School Reunion, while the Doctor and Turlough’s eyes meeting across the TARDIS console is very Time Crash). The Sarah Jane Adventures’ finest moment so far was the gripping, heartbreaking story Whatever Happened to Sarah Jane, and it’s safe to assume that author Gareth Roberts is more than familiar with Mawdryn Undead. The Trickster, a black-robed figure with mysterious powers who glories in chaos and destruction, not only looks and acts like a cross between the Black Guardian and his one-time servant the Shadow, but offers a remarkably similar bargain here (then last year, Gareth’s Secrets of the Stars shimmied around the copyright lawyers of The Masque of Mandragora in similarly stylish fashion). In a story set across two different time zones that feature younger and older aspects of our hero, someone is reckless with a schoolfriend and has a nasty accident – at which point, hanging between life and death, the mysterious black-clad figure appears and offers them a way out at the cost of someone else’s life. They’re given a squarish carved object which, when held in their hand, allows them to communicate with their dark ‘saviour’, who tells them that – yes, in the same words in both stories – “Waking or sleeping, I will be always with you…” “Waking or sleeping, you can never escape me, Turlough.” That Golden Moment Half-way through Part Two, which involves the odd spoiler, and Turlough is gripped by a moral dilemma. It’s one thing to agree – while apparently injured and hallucinating, and under a lot of pressure – to kill someone who you’re assured is utterly evil, but he’s now met the Doctor and suspects he might actually be quite nice after all. Added to that, he’s not been given the ticket off Earth he was promised, and the Doctor looks as good a prospect for that as the mysterious man in black anyway. So with conscience, squeamishness and self-interest all pointing in a roughly similar direction, he no longer feels like going along with his bargain, and confides in his headmaster, a kindly figure in black robes looming over him. This may, in retrospect, be a clue (and, in keeping with the story’s theme of old glories going sour, the same actor once played in effect the Doctor’s headmaster in The Deadly Assassin). More open-minded than many headmasters, he observes that “I must say, it’s a most remarkable story,” but takes everything Turlough tells him as the truth, making him the perfect sounding-board. It’s a superbly crafted argument over morality, Turlough asking “Haven’t I done enough?” and the other sympathising, “I can see, you’re in a most invidious position” but each time gently pointing Turlough towards the flaws in his trying to weasel out of it and towards making a final choice for himself. Initially, he seems just an inhumanly perfect arbiter, helping Turlough make up his own mind as if imagined by the young man to argue out his inner conflict – until the headmaster prompts him, “Are you absolutely sure?” and Turlough decides that, yes, he is going to abandon his deal… At which the headmaster turns on him, suddenly the Black Guardian. Turlough leaps from his sickbay bed in fright and tries to escape – but finds he’s left his body behind. That inhumanly perfect headmaster was indeed all inside his head, but not a figment of his own imagination, and there’s no getting away from the other guy who’s in there with him… In a story brimming with memorable moments, the confessor turned Devil is the most striking piece of imagery. Something Else To Look Out For Whenever Mawdryn Undead dwells on character, it’s an extraordinary success. Turlough’s inner demons, the Brigadier’s beautifully played double life and moment of revelation when confronted by the Doctor, Mawdryn’s torment and, especially, his final line – all of these are brilliant moments. I love the musical score, too, despite opinions being shall we say mixed; Tat Wood excoriates it in About Time 5 as the worst in the entire series, but though the opening scene’s relentlessly perky ‘driving’ music is a bit much, the eerie electric guitar chords for Mawdryn and his people add urgency to a thoughtful story – imagine how po-faced it would be with a portentous choir on the soundtrack – and Turlough’s ‘crystal’ theme perfectly suits his increasing hysteria. One of the story’s most gripping sequences is in Part One, as that theme rises slowly on Turlough, recovering from a car crash to realise his bargain wasn’t a dream, then power chords interrupt the Doctor’s wittering to signal that a ship is about to crash into them, before returning to Turlough as he becomes more desperate. When Mawdryn Undead turns to plotting or explanations, it’s rather more uneven. There are intriguing mysteries and cleverly overlapping times and scenes, but an oddly thoughtful script has sudden grossly horrific moments thrown in as if at random to liven it up and a distracting flood of references to the series’ past, of which only the affecting portrayal of the Brigadier and the twist of someone using knowledge of regeneration as a bluff really work. The strong emotion, characterisation and moral dilemmas of the script keep being hamstrung by references only fans get and jargon nobody gets: how else could we be given the assertion that the Doctor will no longer be a Time Lord at the cliffhanger to Part Three, but only have explained how and why that’s a threat in the following episode? The design, too, is a mix. Mawdryn’s ship has a sinisterly funereal opulence, mixing luxury with death masks. There’s a richness to the design that’s also bloated and rotten – but then you get a control room that’s less stylish Art Deco than tacky games console, and what appears to be high drama with an exploding toaster. Twice. Thank goodness for Turlough. Like an alternative Doctor as a reedy, amoral cowardly exile who needs the real Doctor to bring out the good in him, he not only livens up the TARDIS crew, but is interesting enough to save a trilogy where the Guardian/s’ former ambiguity becomes pedantic Manichean dualism. Even where Turlough’s concerned, though, the story has problems with consequences – here’s where he starts a running theme until the end of Enlightenment of repeatedly apparently breaking free of the Black Guardian’s bargain and apparently being utterly consumed by his purpose, only each time to revert to being somewhere in the middle without explanation. The other key figures in the story are not the Guardian but the Doctor’s old friend Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart, with what we were all told at the time were the ‘glory days’ of UNIT held up in a distorting mirror – he’s a broken shell of himself, and can’t abide the alien exile he’s stuck with, one who’s a cowardly liar prepared to commit murder in order to escape – and Mawdryn, who’s also desperate to escape but turns the vampire legend upside-down, as the tormented undead who wants to drain the Doctor’s life in order to die, not to ‘live’. To many Doctor Who fans, all of this ‘story’ and ‘character’ nonsense doesn’t matter – the important thing about Mawdryn Undead is what it suggests for the years in which the Doctor’s previous adventures with the Brigadier were set. Production teams at the time regarded them as in the near future, but that meant variously one year, five years or ten years ahead, or as little as ‘the day after tomorrow’, sometimes all in the same story. As Mawdryn Undead clashes with much of that, implying Lethbridge-Stewart retired before he was promoted to Brigadier, my advice is to ignore the dates and just enjoy the story (anyway, the absurdly old-fashioned public school ambience clearly dates UNIT to the 1920s). So, if someone ever mentions “UNIT dating” to you with a gleam in their eye, back swiftly away – this will not involve sex (unless it’s Richard Franklin, in which case don’t back away, run). This isn’t an actively bad story, more a disappointing one. Almost anything you can imagine going wrong does, from its gnawingly depressing design to a script that has many good ideas but finds them at odds with the direction and actors – and, unfortunately, needing a few more drafts to close up the gaping nonsenses in it. At the core of Terminus’ problems is that it raises an epic threat, but posed in such a tediously mundane way we don’t believe any of it – it’s not as if Doctor Who can’t pull off that sort of mix, but with irony, not this painfully earnest dullness. There’s an operatic ambition to the concepts, but (bubble-helmets and bubble-perms aside) everything’s played in such a drearily flat-lining way you’re just not interested, as if Wagner had written everything on one note for a Stylophone. The Black Guardian could have fitted in perfectly as the devil at the base of this medieval Hell, but instead is inserted jarringly to perk things up with a bit of shouty melodrama whenever the viewers are in danger of keeling over from sheer misery. Meanwhile, this story’s Twenty-first Century Doctor Who connection is that Tegan and Turlough seem to be stuck in a dismal version of The Girl in the Fireplace: the new companion on his first TARDIS trip is left with the old one in a sinister ship with nasty robots, while the Doctor ignores them for a glamorous other woman. Thank goodness the 2006 story used colours more vibrant than grey and beige! “Short-term memory’s the first to go…” Half-way into Part Three, the Doctor comes across one of Terminus’ sinister armoured guards in the radiation-soaked Forbidden Zone. This one’s neither butch nor threatening, instead waiflike and both physically and mentally scarred by radiation poisoning. Similarly, he meanders both literally and conversationally, humming to himself and dragging oddments about in his cloak in an attempt to find something to block the leaks with. His mistakes have actually made things worse, but he’s also the one person who knows what’s really happening – and just how big a threat Terminus could be if it carries on going so catastrophically wrong. In a story where everyone’s depressed and depressing, being nasty to each other on badly designed sets in a badly assembled narrative, the wounded Bor is the unexpected heart of the story – both structurally, in that he’s escalated the problem but can explain it, and emotionally, in that amid all the grating macho clunkiness Peter Benson seizes the chance to make his character genuinely endearing. Endearing’s the last thing you expect in this story, and he wins you over at once. Kathy Burke. No, seriously, apparently she’s a leprous extra somewhere in here, and with DVD picture-sharpness I might at last be able to see where. Other than that, enjoy Mark Strickson as Turlough enlivening dull moments by deciding he may as well do some ‘acting’ even if it’s not written down. He starts fey, gets flirty, then patronising, then hopeful – and that’s all in just his first scene. With him trying so many different performances, did he still think he was auditioning? Mark, love, you’ve got the part, you can stop now! Between the very ’80s British Empire stiff-upper-lip flavoured private school and sailing ship adventures either side, this could have been the story that went to the other very ’80s British filmmaking extreme and nailed social realism. The usual ‘sinister armoured guards’ are actually near-slaves not to an excitingly megalomaniac villain, but a faceless company, kept working by petty rivalries and drug addiction, doing a horrible job ‘looking after’ the sickest people in the galaxy, those who nobody cares about. But any thought that this is to be Doctor Who’s Boys From the Blackstuff was lost before even the designer and director stepped in, with the script editor at the time simply not ready to embrace naturalistic dialogue, as his infamous line change from “Do they think we’re stupid or something?” to the must-be-declaimed “They must think us fools!” demonstrates. And though the mixture of Norse mythology, NHS waiting lists and oppressed workers seems interesting on paper, the script still has a pile of problems – why does the radiation only affect the Lazars and Bor, rather than the Doctor and his friends? Why would an explosion in a void have exactly the same effect as one in a huge, expanded Universe? When it comes to the end of the story, avoiding spoilers, aren’t there some resource implications no-one’s thought through, or can you make anything you like from pseudo-lepers’ rags and a small aubergine? We’re clearly meant to be scared by the guards’ ‘walking skeleton monster’ look, but not only does it look like a Halloween costume (even with a blanket knotted on its head for a cloak), the director doesn’t believe it either and blows the effect within seconds, as one opens his helmet. Add to that that they’re so huge, clanking and ‘symbolic’ that, taken with the ‘practical scaffolding’, you expect a spotlight to blaze down at any moment and Eirak to start singing an Andrew Lloyd-Webber knock-off while his underlings dance around on roller skates. Again, this isn’t Mike Leigh. Then the ‘real’ monster finally ambles up, and it’s a bored Muppet that’s one of the series’ naffest: again, the contrast with the monsterless stories either side makes you realise what a missed opportunity Terminus is (and these stories, surprisingly, are just about the least monster-packed since the series went into colour). Within this story, the contrast is with the OTT Black Guardian and the camp bubble-headed space raiders, but while they look like they’ve come to the wrong party, wouldn’t you rather go to their party than have such a relentlessly dismal time here? As in Mawdryn Undead, there’s a Flying Dutchman / vampire vibe, this time where the oppressed workers trudge round in Hell lording it over the ghastly pale everyone-treats-as-dead people and live off a special fluid they appear to take directly into their hearts. It’s far more half-hearted, though, like the designer’s apparent decision to compensate for a ‘skull’ motif that might be ‘too scary’ by making every other set the dreariest possible ‘municipal offices in Dudley’ sort of corridors and ducts. Despite the presence of a fight arranger, you have to assume that some of the scenes were seriously short of rehearsal and filming time; Mark Pack writes today that, much as he enjoyed The War Games, the fight scenes were terrible, so perhaps he should avert his eyes from Olvir’s ‘ballet’ with Valgard while the monster picks up Nyssa, as well as its aftermath – the young man trying to help her can’t hear her scream from a couple of metres away, then on finally noticing she’s gone can’t spot her and the monster even though they’re still in the same shot as he is on screen. It’s impossible not to shout ‘Behind you!’ Finally, this story writes out Nyssa, one of the Doctor’s most innocent, suffering and (I’m afraid) unbearably priggish companions. I’ll not spoil how she goes but, famously, the ‘innocent fairy princess’ character spends most of the story shedding her clothes, at one point jumping on another character’s crotch in her underthings. As if to admonish any fans who obey the apparent on-screen direction to fancy Sarah Sutton, the cover of this DVD (each has its own separate packaging within the main box) appears to depict her breasts… Merging into a skull. Tasteful. Ah, my friend, Enlightenment is not so easily found. You must meditate upon it. Or, alternatively, I’m feeling really ill now and have stopped for a Lemsip and a lie-down, and will fill it in later. Hmm, catching up again, I realise that one of the problems with writing this on and off for a few days while not being well is that I put a flurry of activity into one part at a time, rather than looking at the whole thing. So this has ended up a lot longer than my usual “DVD Tasters”. I may offer less detail on Enlightenment, then – which suits the story, as if you haven’t seen it, you’re very much better off knowing as little as possible about it before you start watching. Don’t watch the “Coming Soon” trailer on The War Games (which ruins a perfectly decent special effect by ‘ramping’ it anyway); don’t read the back blurb; don’t even read my “Golden Moment” below; skip the menus – just press play, and let it surprise and delight you. The Doctor is charged with intervening in a race that no-one must win, and the threats to him and his friends are far more complicated and dangerous than facing the barrel of a gun. Finding out what’s going on, for a start – and a disturbingly askew take on a love story. These are subtle and emotional challenges, set amid extraordinary visual invention; you might like to know that it’s the first Doctor Who story from both a woman writer and a woman director. But what does it all mean? “Do not ask what it is. I will not tell you.” There’s a breathless sequence as the end of Part Two approaches, by which time both Tegan and Turlough have been seriously weirded out in quite different ways, and want off creepy Captain Striker’s racing yacht as fast as possible. The Doctor agrees to take them back to the TARDIS – only for the camera to cut away to Striker silently, sinisterly toasting himself, his complacent air justified when the Doctor and his friends discover the TARDIS missing. Confronting Striker, the Doctor – someone whose strength of will hardly ever breaks, and then only with a fight – is told that his very fear of losing the TARDIS made his mind easy to read not just without a fight, but from a distance. Striker’s coldness, his utter certainty, and his evident, underplayed power freak out Turlough as much as they do the audience, and he tries to bargain with a stolen key given to him in confidence – but even his betrayal’s of no use to him, as of course the officer knows about that, too. The only effect Turlough ratting his friend Jackson out has is to make the Doctor even less keen on him: “There’s no need to look at me like that,” says Turlough miserably, his cowardice breeding self-loathing that’ll be horribly evident by the end of the episode. The Doctor attempts to intervene with Striker: “Will Jackson be punished?” “For entertaining us? Superior beings do not punish inferiors. We use them. Kindly.” As Tegan’s taken up on deck to see the night, Striker finds a use for his “inferior” the Doctor in assessing his competitors in the race, and gives the merest taste of what the prize involves, languid as ever then with sudden ferocity as he forestalls a question: “Enlightenment. The wisdom which knows all things, and which will enable me to achieve what I desire most. Do not ask what it is. I will not tell you.” I can’t help but reveal spoilers here, for a beautiful but disquieting story that restores much-needed ambiguity and fascination to the series, so watch out. This is as much a fable as any Doctor Who, and – like Kinda – a remarkable example of the ‘arthouse’ style of storytelling for Peter Davison’s Doctor. It’s a lot of fun, too. The obvious “Golden Moment” would have been the end of Part One… But if you don’t already know what that is, I’m not going to spoil it for you. In fact, all three cliffhangers are cracking: a fantastic ‘what’s going on?’ moment; a companion’s very character threatening himself; and who can resist Lynda Barron enjoying herself so very much? Rather marvellous music throughout, too, from eerie tones to vibrant sailing tunes to a gorgeous South American dance rhythm. Another tale of travellers doomed to wander in an “echoing voyage,” the climax of The Black Guardian Trilogy underscores the ‘Flying Dutchman’ feel with wandering spirits, powerful but empty, with yet another dose of subtle vampirism from the parasitic aristocrats. The ships’ officers are the stars of this show, unsettling and soulless – and even the one who’s sold her soul to the devil is less disturbing than the one who appears to have no soul at all. Enticingly, the two principal lords-of-outside-time who look down on the Doctor are played by actors called Barron and Baron, sit-com stars Keith Barron and Lynda Baron each creating terrific performances entirely against the type of roles they’re usually known for – one dead-eyed and utterly cold, the other rejoicing in every variety of excess (Richard points out to me that, as embodiments of order and chaos, they’re rather better concepts of the White and Black Guardians than the Guardians themselves). And yet the real one to look out for is cold Captain Striker’s first officer Mr Marriner, played by Christopher Brown with a disconcerting mix of blandness and hunger as Tegan’s upper-class, manipulative stalker. He seems genuinely otherwordly, and that old sci-fi cliché “What is love?” goes in quite a different direction to the one you usually find… Though his end is still more chilling than the rest of his scenes (the one bit of cold, hard light that recalls the original White Guardian), watch out particularly for Tegan’s moment of revenge on him, leaving him by claiming she has to see the Doctor, then just sitting down instead. It’s a calculated little piece of cruelty: she knows he reads her mind, so a deliberate and blatant lie is as good as a slap in the face. Uniquely so far for a multi-story set, all three of the Black Guardian Trilogy stories feature new CGI effects as an option on their DVDs, but Enlightenment boasts the most prominent set of changes. While you can go into the Special Features menus (as ever on Doctor Who menus, if you’ve not seen the story before, go through them very quickly for fear of spoilers) and set Mawdryn Undead and Terminus to play as normal with the occasional substituted effect, Enlightenment gets a second disc with a whole new edit of the tale on offer. Unlike the three previous Doctor Who stories released as DVD Special Editions, each of which added new footage as well as new effects, the re-edited Enlightenment is actually a lot shorter than the original – apparently, Peter Davison wanted one of his stories to have the same sort of pace and effects as one of the Twenty-first Century series, and this is the experiment (trimming about a quarter of it away in the process). Just how this new rapid pace will work on one of the series’ most dreamily arthouse stories will be interesting to find out. I had a go the other week at my own re-edit, using my own ultra-modern editing suite of some highly advanced wires connecting the old VHS to our DVD recorder and stabbing my thumb on the remote’s pause button until I got bored (about ten minutes), and found that while was surprisingly easy to find bits to cut out, it was a lot more difficult to ensure the narrative still flowed when scenes jump abruptly. Still, with a little judicious pruning the opening TARDIS scene as far as the Black Guardian’s cackling threat made quite an effective David Tennant-style pre-credits sequence. I wonder if they’ll do the same? And what they’ll pick for the new CGI in each? More exciting spaceship shots in Terminus, I suspect, and if the usual Doctor Who DVD house style holds, lots of pretty glowy effects that look exactly like all the other pretty glowy effects… Of course, as this was released on Monday, you may well have a better idea of what the extras are like than I do, given that Richard has the DVDs delivered to his office and, being ill for much of the week, wasn’t at work to collect them. We’ve only just got our copy, and haven’t had a chance to watch any of it yet. I can add, though, that in addition to new effects each story has a full commentary, text notes, ‘Making of’ documentary, set of pdfs and photo gallery, as well as – hurrah! – the full isolated musical scores for each. I’m particularly looking forward to listening to two of them, though even here, Terminus sadly draws the short straw. There are plenty of other documentaries, too, ranging from writers to actors to astronomy, and even extended and deleted scenes for Mawdryn Undead. Wonder what we’ll be doing this weekend…? Labels: Big Finish, Doctor Who, DVD, DVD Tasters, Obscure Doctor Who Jokes, Peter Davison, Sarah Jane Smith, The Brigadier, The Key To Time Being Human and A Damned Good Thrashing Two picks of the day: remarkable comedy-horror-drama-tragedy Being Human, coming to BBC1 at 10.35 tonight (far less scary than Question Time), if you didn’t see it on BBC3; and an old-fashioned gentleman’s duel in the Lib Dem blogosphere. I don’t say “gentlemen’s,” as there’s only one involved, the Lady Mark. But that’s not all – also in tonight’s linkspamtastic collection, the less endearingly Victorian attitude of our police to naked statuary, a self-pityingly deluded Republican Congressman (doesn’t narrow it down), what makes a good pie, what makes a bad pie, and even a chocolate recommendation. And all in bite-sized portions. Over the past several weeks, I’ve been rather more ill than usual, recurringly, and so haven’t blogged much – but I’ve still managed to read the odd post or news item and thought, ‘Ooh, I must write about that’. I haven’t, but I’ve been hoarding links with which to bombard you. Rather than going back a month or so, though, I can’t resist starting with the post that made me splutter on my morning Lemsip. Inviting Mr Ahmed Outside I can sometimes be a bit aggressive in my posts, but rarely will you find me so determined to utterly destroy line by line than when someone’s picking on a person I love. This can be unedifying to read (my spellchecker suggests “humidifying,” which is apt, too), but flying off the handle to defend your loved ones is sometimes difficult to resist. Witness the Lady Mark Valladares, who hasn’t always done himself favours in his combative defences of Ros Scott (I recognise my own faults in that style), but whose superb horsewhipping this morning is a perfect example of how to do it, and absolutely right. Go Mark! And go reader, to Irfan Ahmed – This Is Your Fisk! (the lovely Mr Quist gives an idea of what Mr Ahmed said before his latest ridiculous retreat). Among the many posts I’ve not written in the last month or so is “Leave It To Me, Dear,” which would have replied to Mr Ahmed’s suggestion that women should get their husbands to tell them how to vote, sadly nowhere near his most stupidly reactionary comment. I still remember canvassing in a by-election about fifteen years ago where the ‘man of the house’ told me he was voting Labour and refused to let me speak to his wife, because she was voting the same way. Within a second of the door closing, an upper window opened and she murmured down, “I humour him, but I’m voting for your lot.” As good a reason as any to always canvass in ‘enemy territory’ (even if there’s only one name, it makes them worry – and I’ve had people with Labour posters up say they were voting Lib Dem before now, but felt they had to have the poster out of duty)… Still, Mark has far more reason to thrash Mr Ahmed, and besides, he reads Mark’s blog; I suspect he wouldn’t be a big fan of mine, because I’m the sort of person who reads Adam and Andy and recognises a lot of it from my life. And definitely best not tell him that I read Jesus and Mo… Oh, Put It Away – Officer Still, at least Mark’s icily polite evisceration this morning only expressed a slight air of regret that we weren’t still in Victorian days of duels and horsewhipping. Our police haven’t actually caught up with the last couple of centuries yet. Last night, post-watershed, you might say, a man stood up to take his turn on the fourth plinth at Trafalgar Square – and took his clothes off for an hour. Or, in fact, for five minutes, not due to any complaints from the crowd (who supported him), but because the police have nothing better to do with their time. It’s art; it’s free expression; if there’s one place in London to permit something unusual to happen, it’s there; it hurt nobody; and it’s not going to frighten the horses, because not only are there no horses about, but if there were, there are far more startling sights all over London of an evening. Many of them on advertising hoardings. Presumably it will soon be a policing priority to go round every naked statue in the capital and chisel on little fig leaves. Moving up the state enforcement tree to MI6, Millennium brings the story that not only are they colluding in something infinitely more degrading than persecuting nudists, but they’re rubbish at covering it up. Still, at least not even the Met or MI High are as barking as the US Republican Party, who are rapidly descending into a delusionally exclusive club for Birthers and Deathers. Even among their ranks, though, Sara brings news of a Congressman so monumentally lacking in self-awareness than people have been queuing round the block to twit him over the head. Good Pie I tried this a week ago, so a swift review – I really need another, or six – but if there’s a Square Pie shop near you, this month’s special is a Moroccan-inspired Lamb Tagine that’s really rather worth trying. Tender lamb, always excellent pastry (tasty and just soft enough, never floppy), with rather a rich taste. Perhaps just too big chunks of sweet potato, but still mouth-watering. And if they don’t have that in, there’s always their Lamb and Rosemary, which is full-bloodedly delicious. Bad Pie Paying more and premium packaging is sadly no guarantee of quality. Ever heard of Delisanté? Don’t bother. I picked up one of their individually wrapped dainty slices of Game Pie the other week, and though I knew it was overpriced, it looked tempting. Mostly pork, expectedly, but what I didn’t expect was tasteless, cloying pastry and – oh, how very ‘premium’ – the meat to consist mostly on one long, thick, twisted skein of gristle. I shan’t be trying any of theirs again… Good Chocolate Canary Wharf, not too difficult for me to totter to on some days, boasts both a Square Pie shop and a Waitrose in which to avoid Delisanté products, but sadly not yet a branch of Hotel Chocolat. I like a large variety of chocolate types, and have praised Hotel Chocolat’s lemon truffles before – as has Tom Baker – though some of their chocolates seriously overuse dull pralines… But quite often, I like a large amount of chocolate in one go, and that means a bar. White and dark both have a lot of appeal, though usually for me a whole bar at once means milk, whether it’s Cadbury’s Dairy Milk, Green and Black’s Butterscotch Milk (the little nibbles of butterscotch really make it) or, I’ll now add, one of Hotel Chocolat’s Cookies and Crème Caramel Giant Slabs. Or, as they peskily appear to have deleted this just as I’ve discovered it, the White and Caramel Cookies Giant Slab, which is due to launch soon and looks extremely similar (the “caramel domes” on the top may have changed, as I’m sure they were little white chocolate spheres in the previous model). I’m inordinately fond of their chocolate gemstones, very moreish little castings of mixed dark, white and milk chocolate, and they’re set into the top of a large bar made of creamy white and – here’s the bit that really works – a stunningly tasty caramel milk chocolate. It’s lovely. Oh, and crushed chunks of cookie are set into it from below, as the gemstones are above. Try it, if you can find one of these giant slabs left in your local Hotel Chocolat shop – if not, pre-order the new version, then bring it round to share with me for a tasting and I’ll tell you if it really is the same. While I write, coughing and spluttering and wondering what shape my beloved will be in when he gets in this evening – he’s been back at work today, and though I always tiresomely outcompete him for illness, I worry – BBC3’s been showing Doctor Who on The Impossible Planet. Rather a fabulous and scary episode (causing much panic at the time, not necessarily for the reasons you’d expect), with lots of touches of older Who stories, Alien and a feature film feel thrown in, great music, Cthulood monsters and a fantastic vocal performance from Gabriel Woolf, possessor of arguably the most chillingly villainous voice in the world: “Don’t turn around…” The second episode, on tomorrow night, loses its way by comparison, but it’s got the finale of Torchwood: Children of Earth following, so worth a look. I notice this episode particularly because it’s from the same year – 2006 – that Toby Whithouse’s Doctor Who story was first transmitted, and though that reintroduced Sarah Jane Smith, oddly enough he’s not yet written for her spin-off series that’s followed. He has, however, created his own rather-more-than real show, and it’s Being Human that’s ‘promoted’ to BBC1 tonight. So, a werewolf, a vampire and a ghost go into a house-share… Wind back a year and a half, and Being Human was one of several pilots commissioned by BBC3 that might lead to a trendy new drama. Brilliantly, they decided which one to commission as the ‘success’ before they’d aired, and Being Human wasn’t it. Except… That Being Human was the pilot episode that grabbed people’s attention, saw petitions launched in its favour and won a climbdown. So while its first series comes to BBC1 for a repeat tonight, and a second series is already being made for next year, the pilot the BBC3 high-ups assumed would be a smash and was instantly commissioned for a full show… Has never been heard of again. Being Human isn’t just an inspiring fable that quality will out, though. I have to admit, I was a little wary of the series before it started: out of four ‘regular’ cast members seen in the pilot episode, three of the actors were replaced before the show returned for a full run earlier this year. And each of the changes made our heroes prettier and the villain less so, which made me distinctly wary of the level of brain-downsizing that might have been the price of the recommissioning. So, again, a werewolf, a vampire and a ghost go into a house-share… And it’s brilliant. Fortunately, they kept Russell Tovey as the slightly hysterical lead, even though he doesn’t get his kit off quite as often as he did in the pilot when changing into a wolf in impressively An American Werewolf in London effects – and I got used to the recast ghost, who does become multi-layered and very endearing, as well as the recast vampire, who’s… Well, actually, he’s about as pretty as the last one, but less pretentiously Pete Doherty-meets-Lestat. And, ironically, more hairy and wolfish, which as far as I’m concerned makes him much sexier. Still, Aiden Turner’s an impressive actor as well as a hot one, as you may have spotted if you’ve been watching BBC2’s hilarious art sit-com – er, I mean bio-drama – Desperate Romantics, in this week’s episode of which he and Rafe Spall (sadly with nasty beard, but you still would – as for him in The Chatterley Affair and Wide Sargasso Sea…) tussled with their tops off. As the upwardly mobile prostitute muse puts it, “You boys, you boys. Why don’t you just poke each other and leave us girls alone?” Er, where was I? The key villain, leader of a rising vampire band, is now nowhere near as sexy as Adrian Lester was when playing him in the pilot, but he grows on me, too – a dowdy messiah with a grubby charisma, he’s actually very well-chosen (and does some excellent work in the Doctor Who audio trilogy The Key 2 Time… But more of that tomorrow). Watch out, particularly, for the fourth episode – probably the most harrowing-to-watch piece of TV I’ve enjoyed all year. The final two pack a serious punch, too (see this slightly spoilerish first-broadcast review from Costigan). We’ve recently been watching it again on blu-ray on Sunday nights after a double bill of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. And Being Human can hold its head up. Funny, moving, disturbing, with four superb leads, give it a try – it takes an impressive talent to shift so confidently between sit-com, thriller and horror story. “I’ve got this friend… He says the human condition, human nature, being human… Is to be cold and alone. Like someone lost in the woods… It’s, ah, safe to say that he’s a ‘glass is half-empty’ kind of guy. I see nature differently. I see the ancient machinery of the world, elegant and ferocious, neither good nor bad, it’s full of beautiful things, unspeakable things. The trick is to keep them hidden – ’til the right moment.” If you don’t fancy all that, of course, Dave (oh dear) are showing Passport To Pimlico tomorrow afternoon. Be careful not to take it as a blueprint for cocking a snoop at your current joyless Labour Government: nowadays they’d all be whisked away under anti-terrorism legislation before you could say “Jack Straw”.

Sausage?! Sometimes you have to take your fun where you can. Eagle-eyed viewers will have noticed I’ve not blogged much in recent weeks; I’ve been rather more ill than usual and, just as I seemed to be getting over it, was re-flattened yesterday by something nasty, this time with extra helpings of guilt for giving it to my firmer-constitutioned beloved too. So when we struggled over to ASDA to dance through enough different aisles to pick up sufficient paracetamol so as not to have to go out again for a week (adults now not being trusted to be ill without lashings of exercise, by law), suspicious sausages made us smile. Sausage?! Blast your eyes! Well, made me smile. Richard just rolled his eyes. And the worst of it is, they’re not even very good bangers. Cheap and largely tasteless. On the other hand, their Extra Special Pork and Apple and their Pork, Parma Ham, Garlic and Red Wine sausages are excellent, and the sweet chilli ones aren't bad either. I’ve just woken after a broken and fevered sleep which took me a good hour to stop coughing my guts out and settle into, and feel like some healthy, reviving bangers. And chocolate. Obviously. Better Sausage Than Spam Have also just had an entertaining text from a friend who, switching on his mobile on holiday, discovered fifty e-mail messages from Lib Dem bloggers.

I feel so deprived! Labels: Blackadder, Blogs, Food, Health, Personal A 1982 Peter Davison tale of jungle weirdness, Doctor Who: Kinda is still the source of ferocious arguments (just wait ’til it’s out on DVD and they explode across the special features). Is this a brilliant piece of art, or does it just have the most rubbish ‘snake’ ever broadcast? Is it a Buddhist metaphor, or borrowed from Ursula le Guin? Is it mind-expanding or mind-deadening, philosophically intriguing or just New Age socialism? I answer some of these questions in a highly partial and occasionally spoilertastic way… “You will agree to being me… This side of madness or the other.” Few Doctor Who stories have raised such wild passions for and against them as Kinda. Yes, I was one of those ten-year-olds who helped vote it bottom of Peter Davison’s first season for DWM’s poll back in 1982, largely through a vivid last memory of ‘that snake’; at the other end of the spectrum, some fans have announced that anyone who disagrees with their assertion that this is the best Who story ever is an emotional Nazi. I shall leave it to your own judgement any irony involved in people who use “Nazi” to decry those whose precise tastes do not absolutely accord to theirs… I started a re-evaluation of Kinda through my wobbly audio copy, in those days before video. The old wise woman’s “Wheel turns” speech was quite hypnotic, and so I gradually found myself thinking Kinda was rather interesting – despite one of Uncle Terrance’s least lively novelisations trying to convince me otherwise [like the director, his prosaic prose isn’t in sympathy with the weird wonder of the story]. Nowadays, with repeated video viewings, I’ll admit that I can’t see how I ever thought the story worse than Four to Doomsday or Time-Flight, and I’ve got a lot closer to the adoring end of the spectrum than the embarrassed end I used to sit at. But will I go all the way? Well, I don’t think so, though I’ll waver between perhaps eight and nine out of ten. Let me explain. On the whole, Kinda is interesting and refreshing, one of the Who stories with the most ideas, married to one of the Who stories that looks most like a pop video. The Dark Places of the Inside are fantastically imagined and realised, and the ‘time’ sequence is hardly less impressive. Unquestionably, the subversive ‘menaces’ of the trees, the “primitives,” Hindle, Dukkha and The Dark Places of the Inside or wherever, all combine tantalisingly to disrupt expectations and are carried off brilliantly. In the story’s second half, however, and especially after the main hallucinatory effects sequences end, the action-based director and thoughtful script start to work against each other (notably from the blown cliffhanger to Part Three on), particularly as the author’s ideas become less successful. The fourth episode is definitely the weakest, despite quite a strong scene with Hindle’s toy madness and Panna’s consciousness passing on to demonstrate that no-one actually dies in the story (albeit the three ones who went missing…?). Studio floors, technobabble and ‘that snake’ summing up a glib and dull resolution – not to mention interminable Adric / Tegan bitching scenes – make it a curiously uninventive and unimpressive ending. This story is probably best watched as a whole, rather than an episodic let-down. I’ve recently taken to watching Who again on an episodic basis. Yes, that’s right – as the BBC gods intended! As you might expect, with all stories written that way, most of them work much better that way. And it’s become clear that a key reason so many of us disliked Kinda on first watching – other than the shame of (all together now) ‘that snake’ at school the next day – was that this story didn’t. For a few stories where not all the episodes work, the resolution is the killer. Watch a rather good story with a poorer Part Four (Paradise Towers or The Creature From the Pit spring to mind to tease you with, or perhaps The Leisure Hive if you want one that fewer people hate so much), and it’s plain that only watching ‘the bad bit’ in one sitting leaves you with a nasty taste in your mouth that wouldn’t be so strong if you’d watched it as a ‘movie’. Watch Kinda episodically, rather than all of a bundle as video encourages you to, and it’s striking that it wasn’t just the increasing sophistication of the viewing fans that has led to Kinda’s startling turnaround since its original broadcast. It was the ‘poor Part Four’ effect at work in a peculiarly devastating way when we first watched it. Oddly, watching Kinda episodically, I’m also struck that despite every review mentioning how the story centres on Janet Fielding, it isn’t a ‘Tegan story’ at all – more of an Adric story. He has quite a lot to do throughout the whole story (though achieving little, at least he only pretends to side with the villain this time; clearly Hindle responds to another boy to play with), while her strong role in the first two parts vanishes almost completely later on. She is superb when oppressed and then possessed by Dukkha (though an effective ‘rape’ scene apparently unlocking her sensuality is an unpleasantly disturbing message), but her appearance in Part Three is just that. Aris merely steps over her unconscious body at one point, and she neither moves nor speaks in a ‘blink and you’ll miss her’ cameo. As all the companions are buried way down in the cast list to start with, it seems particularly unfair on Matthew Waterhouse that he still gets later (and shared) billing than Janet Fielding for Part Three, and that Sarah Sutton gets no billing at all for the middle episodes. My other reason for recently re-evaluating Kinda is that I’ve now read the book that’s said to be one of its main sources, Ursula Le Guin’s The Word for World is Forest. Now, this isn’t a story that can simply be explained by reference to any one of the mountain of references it makes, whether Judaeo-Christian Garden of Eden symbolism, Buddhist analogies or Vietnam-era sci-fi. However, as the Buddhism’s been written about in great detail, I found comparisons with Le Guin’s book intriguing, and they helped crystallise why I don’t think Kinda is quite as clever as many take it to be – or quite as enjoyable. Despite some clear similarities in the setup, including a sophisticated sexual division of labour in the “primitives,” “idiot” / “insane” colonial military leavened by a sympathetic anthropologist, and dreaming, sophisticated “primitives” (as well as blatant nods like “Planet S14” in Kinda for “World 41” in the book, Aris’ captive brother for Selver’s enslaved and murdered wife, or “ILF” – “Intelligent Life Form” – for “hilf” – “High Intelligence Life Form”), the story itself has remarkably little in common with The Word For World is Forest. Quite funny that the villain of the book is “Captain Davidson,” though, as it’s of course the Doctor who enables the snake to enter Eden! Kinda is far less successful in getting across an idea of the local people as sophisticated – with the dubious exception of Panna and the double helix jewellery, it’s merely told, rather than shown. How do they have access to molecular biology? On the face of it, nicking the necklaces from an alien spaceship crashed in the jungle would be more logical an explanation. Shouldn’t we have had some shared dreaming, or something to put the Box of Jhana in context? Instead, these “primitives” really are telepathic, which even the Mara correctly notes is a very boring way to communicate. Instead of evidence of intelligent thought, the Kinda (surely everyone in this story bar the Doctor, Todd and Panna are just that – ‘children’?) follow Aris like sheep, and flee after a ludicrous attack on the Dome using a TSS-style ‘wicker man’ (instead, in Le Guin’s book Selver’s attacks on the Terrans use their own bombs against them, as well as showing the lethal effectiveness of ‘primitive’ weapons. The Kinda merely appear stupid). Of course, the whole effect is engineered by the Mara to bring about their misery, but instead of a powerful, co-dependent, co-defending (“the dreaming of an unshared mind”) group intelligence, they merely combine into a herd. This is especially obvious in contrast with Aris and Panna / Karuna, who are intelligent and resourceful because they are individuals. The extremely collectivist ideological slant of the story is objectionable both because it isn’t to my personal taste anyway, and because the author’s clear wish to impose it on us has not led him to consider whether it works – in the context of the story, it doesn’t, and it fails even to make an attractive case. It seems not only philosophically disagreeable, but artistically unsuccessful. The message that progress is horrid and only leads to destruction, and that people are much better off as happy sheep, is despairingly poor. Even the ‘dangers of progress and exploration’ message of The Green Death, for example (which I rather like), is leavened by the saving grace of individuality, while even that other anti-questioning Buddhist parable, Planet of the Spiders, notices the danger of not having a mind of your own as well as of unrestrained ego. Again unlike The Word For World is Forest, which shows the destructive effect of ‘progress’ on the Athshean culture, Kinda is a zero-sum game – there has been no effect on the tribe by the end; again, intelligent life is changed by experience, while the Kinda appear like drones. Perhaps Christopher Bailey should have read the author’s Introductions to The Word for World is Forest. Ursula Le Guin talks of art as the pursuit of liberty, “escapist” from reality into the freedom of imagination. She also warns of the power an artist has over their characters leaching into desire for the power to influence other people. “The desire for power, in the sense of power over others, is what pulls most people off the path of the pursuit of liberty,” she warns, and notes that when artists believe they can do good to other people, they forget about liberty and start to preach. Bailey has failed to heed her warning, and has been “inextricably confusing ideas with opinions”. Another of my Summer holiday repeat season, originally written for the now-junked site Outpost Gallifrey in 2000 or 2001, I quite enjoyed that one, despite being more pompous than usual (these days I flatter myself I hide it better). As you can tell, I’d recently read The Word for World is Forest, and wanted to explore that ‘source’ for the story rather than go along with the fan meme that the story was all about Buddhism, despite both being mentioned in the famously po-faced and impenetrable media studies textbook Doctor Who – The Unfolding Text which studied Kinda at length a quarter of a century ago. ‘Arthouse’ Vs ‘Macho’ Peter Unfortunately, Kinda isn’t out on DVD yet, so it’s not as accessible as some to make your own judgements over (though a second-hand VHS is probably cheap enough). I’ll bet it’ll be paired with its even better sequel Snakedance when it is released, but in the meantime, what I didn’t say above is that it may be the most striking example of one of the two warring styles found throughout Peter Davison’s time as the Doctor. While most Doctor Who seasons have a relatively consistent tone within them, Peter’s stories divide sharply between what I think of as ‘arthouse’ and ‘macho’ – wild imagery and gently elegiac tales versus the sort that, as Peter cackles on his commentaries, have more on-screen deaths than Rambo or The Terminator (and those stories that are neither ‘arthouse’ nor ‘macho’ are mostly just forgettable). Like I suspect most fans, I’m convinced that Peter’s best story is his final one, The Caves of Androzani, but less usually I reckon one of the reasons is that it finally unites those two styles, bringing vicious characters and extreme violence to the screen but with evocative dialogue, a deranged love story and dreamlike music and camerawork. That combination, as much as its extraordinary quality, makes it the ideal Peter Davison Who story. There are some, though, who champion Kinda, the ultimate arthouse Doctor Who – and I think I’ve explained why for me it’s good, but not that good. It is, however, a hugely important story, marking out a new direction in which the series could go, helping pull it away from the nothing-but-macho approach of the incoming script editor at the time – where Kinda’s ‘possession with added hippy weird shit’ Vietnam-flavoured existential crisis (directly following two other existential crisis stories) sometimes makes you wonder if the author was on the same drugs as Philip K Dick, Eric Saward appears to be mainlining nothing but testosterone. Kinda has a lot going for it as an experience. There’s brilliant imagery, and the psychological horror of Tegan in the Dark Places of the Inside uses ’80s video effects like almost no other story (though, as Not the Nine O’Clock News might say, nice video, shame about the song). There’s a remarkable cast – Richard Todd (a major film star actively subverting leading roles he actually took, such as Sanders of the River), Nerys Hughes, Simon Rouse – with superb roles, and Peter Davison finds his feet as the Doctor by stepping aside for much of this story in a way that it’s difficult to imagine Tom Baker doing. Most criticism I’ve read of Kinda focuses on the design, but though the jungle’s not much cop and the giant snake at the climax is every bit as funny as you can imagine, it’s the ideas that let Kinda down for me – both that it runs out of them by the end, and that some of them aren’t very good in the first place. A lot of it’s compelling, but there’s something off-putting at the heart of it. The sledgehammer-unsubtle moral that it’s better to be passive and pastoral than ask questions, develop speech or even be an individual at all seems more Pol Pot than Doctor Who. The series is all about thinking for yourself, about finding new ideas and new places; this pits itself solidly against both, so it’s ironic that it’s often called one of Doctor Who’s most ‘intellectual’ stories it preaches so earnestly against the intellect. Labels: Books, Doctor Who, Ideas, In-Depth Doctor Who, Outpost Gallifrey Reprints, Peter Davison, Reviews, Utopia Doctor Who and the Silurians One of the best Doctor Who stories ever made, and one of the most atypical – unusually long, highly political (even highly liberal), with not even a mention of the TARDIS and refusing to side with the ‘humans’ against the ‘monsters’, I’ve often said this was the story that turned me into a Liberal. For the new producer at the time, though, Doctor Who and the Silurians was even more significant, as a technological breakthrough forty years ago this week demonstrated… “There’s a wealth of scientific knowledge down here, Brigadier – and I can’t wait to get started on it.” Warning: More Spoilers than usual… There are few Doctor Who stories about which I have such a wealth of feeling and which have had such profound effects on me. This may, on the face of it, seem a little strange – after all, I wasn’t born when it was first transmitted, and didn’t actually see it until the not terribly impressionable age of 21. This is, of course, because when I watch it now, it seems inseparable from Doctor Who and the Cave Monsters, a closely related story in novel form indelibly imprinted on me from the day I bought it (as pictures of little blond me clasping it excitedly to my little bosom on the way home from Blackpool will testify). It’s a cracking story – slow and grim, but feeling unusually ‘real’ and undoubtedly the series’ best ‘world disaster’. One of the few seven-parters that seems epic enough for its length, this is easily the best Pertwee for me, and one of my all-time faves. It’s the only Third Doctor TV adventure I find as good as the book, a great relief after finding several of those other strange TV stories that came to me as ‘adaptation of the novel’ such a let-down. Despite my delight in it, I can see a few flaws from the off. Some Who stories work best watched episodically rather than all in a bunch, but this is not one of those stories. It’s not hard to see why, stretched over seven weeks, it didn’t capture such a huge audience in the most recent BBC repeat (but it cheered me up, as at the time I was mostly working in Wallasey, hundreds of miles from my beloved and thoroughly cheesed off in a grotty hotel. Besides, it was jollier than listening to The Massacre on headphones). Although it builds up brilliantly by the end, it doesn’t start by following on from Spearhead From Space with anything like the same punch, verve or on-screen expense. It could do with a bit of a kick near the beginning to draw people in. Starting off on colourised video, it immediately looks cheaper than the preceding story, and the dodgy T-Rex is no help. Not as dodgy as Bessie seems, though; with the Doctor tinkering to get his car going, you reckon that the Brigadier bought it for him from a scrap merchant to save on the budget. Once the story gets going, it’s terrific, but it seems to take an age to start up, and the ‘mystery’ of the opening episode isn’t pulled off as excitingly as it should be. But at least – despite the opening – it seems much more cerebral than last week (must be all the scientists about). What makes Doctor Who and the Silurians work right from Episode 1 nonetheless is the quality of the characters, and the actors playing them, even before we come to the first not-all-bad ‘monster’ characters since Varga the Ice Warrior. It’s striking that no one character that can be labelled as just ‘utterly evil’, or ‘completely insane’ (at least to start with), the usual Doctor Who shorthands for the villain. Malcolm Hulke captures a fatal flaw in the Doctor here, perhaps more craftily than at any other point in the show. He writes for Pertwee at the perfect time when he’s still new and appealing and can get away with lines that make him less likeable, without coming over as merely unpleasant. Liz Shaw remains one of the most fabulous companions, despite being treated appallingly at times – already sidelined in just her second story, it’s sad that in a saga full of doctorates, only Dr Shaw is deprived of hers and made to work as a secretary: “Personnel will be handled by Miss Shaw.” Among many guest appearances, Peter Miles stands out in the first of many shrill, manic parts, and Fulton Mackay steals the show with the charismatic Dr Quinn. He’s frightfully good, very laid-back and with a little humour, though with an unmistakable undercurrent of bitterness. It’s a real shock when he dies so early, adding to the unexpected realism. Perhaps the standout performance, though, is Nick Courtney’s Brigadier, who in a story crammed with much better-drawn characters than we usually get still emerges as the most complex of the lot. While not playing the lead in the way he did in much of Spearhead From Space, he manages to move from hero to villain while remaining entirely true to the spirit of the man. What story we get in the first episode largely consists of a spy plot, which might work a little better if it wasn’t dropped so quickly not because of underterrestrial evidence, but because the plot no longer needs it. Quinn and his would-be strumpet are briefly implicated, his throwaway line about knowledge to be gained providing the most intriguing moment. We hear about a planned programme of sabotage, but it never quite gets going. The Doctor, however, is on a planned programme of really winding everybody up. He’s already far less likeable than he was in Spearhead! “It’s not worth fifteen million pins if it doesn’t work, is it?” never fails to make me smile, but it’s not a line calculated to win co-operation. His threat to Dr Meredith that he can do whatever he pleases is also jarring; in the past, he may have said such things as a “Provincial Officer” or an “official Examiner,” yet that was play-acting, and our Doctor now appears to have become an authoritarian for real. Thank heavens the Brigadier is there to take him down a peg. Can you imagine anyone else getting away with dismissing all his clues and calling him “Dr Watson,” a bright remark which sends the Doctor into such a sulk that he decides to go down into the caves very suddenly. As if just for the cliffhanger. It’s not as if the first cliffhanger is even much cop. We may have had a little tension from ancient mind-destroying horrors, all very At the Mountains of Madness and Quatermass and the Pit, but they lose their nerve and reach for the unconvincing T-Rex (or “some sort of dinosaur”) when it comes to something to bring us back next week. It’s then lured away by the sound of someone having sex on creaky bedsprings. I’m scared. As if to draw further attention to budgetary shortcomings, Lethbridge-Stewart admits he only has five or six men – and they really have a Brigadier in charge of them? The Doctor even returns from his deadly cliffhanger with no ill effects at all. Fortunately, it’s about this point that things really take off, with Baker swiped in the caves and the reptile person emerging into the light and wandering about so gorgeously shot it’s as if the director’s just woken up. Simmering tensions between Lawrence and Quinn come crashing on Miss Dawson, and all at once the stakes seem raised – it’s only Episode 2, and the director of the centre is already demanding UNIT be recalled. Admittedly, Farmer Squire’s wife isn’t a patch on Meg Seeley, but I’m always a sucker for that Quatermass-style selective race memory, and the great three-eye-view of Liz as she’s attacked for the cliffhanger is actually rather gripping. Amazingly, the pace keeps up, and the Doctor both spots what’s suspicious and doesn’t help very much, forcing Quinn onto the defensive instead of gaining his confidence. And, gosh, they’ve got a ’copter for the search (which is done rather well). It all looks much darker than Spearhead, and the tone’s darker too, with very little comic relief and rather less pizzazz – but it no longer feels cheaper, and by now it’s drawn you in. The Doctor’s baiting of Quinn at his cottage is well done, and finally gets under Quinn’s cool, but it’s a shame; if the Doctor had still been Troughton, he might have charmed him into something, not just got his back up. It’s a miracle that he nearly gets something out of Miss Dawson, given that she and Quinn are so blatantly both in love with the same person – Dr Quinn. It remains difficult not to feel rather sad and rather regretful at the Doctor’s tactics when we find Quinn dead, despite the rather good cliffhanger to introduce the new race. Given all that, the bathos of the following scene is shocking. Is “Hello – are you a Silurian?” the silliest line the Doctor’s ever uttered? Hulke’s characterisation of the Doctor in regularly giving him such ‘foibles’ as being a git and lying to people, rather than making him entirely heroic, again come to the fore when his not informing the Brigadier of Quinn’s death instantly begins to undermine his position with Lethbridge-Stewart. While there’s perhaps a little much dodging in and out of the caves, Baker being trapped in the foaming rock pool looks rather nastily effective (and more interesting than the more prosaic mantrap of the book). The Doctor and Liz going down and then Liz popping up again seems a little easy, but it sets up the arguments which make up most of the next episode, and concludes, in effect, the first story. Yes, that’s right. It’s really two stories meshing in the middle, rather as if the Bob Holmes ‘split story’ technique had come in early: Doctor Who and the Cave Monsters (ooh, what’s going on in the caves?) followed by Doctor Who and the Silurian Plague, with a whole new set of issues once all the first have actually been resolved. Perhaps it’s this aspect that makes the serial seem to go on far less long than many other six-or-seven-parters, even if it means one story ends with a rather unimpressive gurning cliffhanger. Perhaps resting on the cliffhanger point itself is a little unfair. Watching it now, it’s striking that the real revelation – and of course the ‘message’ – that we have by the end of Episode 4 is that both sides are very similar people, and not in a very attractive way. The immediate ancestors of this story are not the more straightforward monster tales of the Troughton era, but David Whitaker’s earlier-starting historicals and accounts of high-ranking intrigue. I wonder if Galaxy 4 would have had the same effect on me? I suspect not, with its simpler ‘Beautiful can be bad, ugly can be good’ reversal rather than shades of grey and two races each split into myriad fears and hopes, and without the critical innovation of the ‘prior claim’ on what we think of as our planet. It’s on these people that the story turns: a politician trying to do what’s best but with the minimum of embarrassment; young Silurian Morka arrogantly refusing to see any other view than that the planet belongs to his people; the Brigadier increasingly frustrated as the Doctor’s behaviour and lack of trust forces him into a corner; old Silurian Okdel hesitantly prepared to exchange knowledge; Miss Dawson gunning for the ‘monsters’. Having said all that about ‘character’, it’s interesting that Vietnam-era aggressor Morka (the book providing so much more memorable a name than ‘Young’ – presumably he wears a leather jacket and, aged only 65,226,801, is much more hip than Old Okdel’s ungroovy 65,226,858) is the only reptile person that sounds like he’s doing an American accent. Satire, or just bad acting? Altogether, this patch has got some splendid dialogue, with actors mainly arguing in twos – Young Silurian and Scientist, Doctor and Old Silurian, Lawrence and Masters (a youngish Geoffrey Palmer), plus that great debate, with Liz speaking for the liberals, Miss Dawson subbing for the Daily Mail (‘String the monsters up! It’s the only language they understand!’), Masterly inaction and the increasingly deranged Dr Lawrence hilariously accusing everyone else of delusions. Who says ‘talky’ means dull? The argument between Liz and Dawson fair blazes, for example, while the discussion between the Doctor and Okdel is far calmer, with the revelation of the Moon – and Baker shouting “traitor” (off) at him. Admittedly, I suspect the Saudis would have something to say about humanity giving away hot places, but at least it saves the Brigadier (ironically). It’s still not got quite everything going for it, though, as some splendid reptile people plotting and Baker’s near-escape are made far less watchable by the music reaching new lows – this is ‘When Kazoos Go Bad’. They’re so intrusive, you could call it ‘The Power of the Kazoos’, couldn’t you, making the ear-splitting Sea-quel ‘The Evil of the Kazoos’… It’s a good job there are so many character moments about, of course, as once again the action seems to consist of people going into the caves and coming back out again. When the mucky Brigadier responds to another childish diatribe with “I lost a lot of men in those caves, Dr Lawrence,” there’s a calm pain about him that’s really impressive, and only slightly undermined by the way he’s already admitted he has very few men, none of whom were seen to die there. Meanwhile, back in the reptile people’s shelter, things are no more harmonious. There’s quite a savage row between the cave leaders, with Okdel basically saying ‘Shut up or I’ll kill you’. He’s clearly shaken by the time he gives the Doctor the bacteria, though (as well as shaking!), and then Morka does the equivalent of shooting him in the back. It’s not even a trial of strength! It’s a shame, as Hulke has given some thought to ‘creature character’, yet neither their characters nor culture are as complex as the humans’, and Morka in particular often comes over as caricatured (but I suppose you can’t get it all right first time). Let’s face it, this is hardly a very stable or civilised system of government. Mind you, the Cabinet might be more fun with third eyes; Brown boggles Blair while he’s not looking, Beckett blasts Brown over dinner, but is toasted by Jack Straw with his three-eyed glasses, and Straw’s then savaged by Blunkett’s guide dinosaur… Which all makes it rather odd that, up top, Masters remains an unusually subtle and well-meaning Doctor Who politician (or possibly civil servant, as it’s never made clear on screen, and the book gives him a civil servant’s rank but makes him an MP!). “My report will of course exonerate you completely – I’m sure you did everything in your power,” though, is just the sort of kindly way of saying ‘Bang goes your funding, good luck finding a university post’ that actually makes you sorry for Lawrence, a wretched man with no faith but suddenly acquiring Job’s job description. This episode having been stuffed full of more drama than you find in most whole Doctor Who stories, it’s glorious to reach the end and discover that the climax lives up to it. The Doctor arguing about confining Major Baker and not putting him into hospital is done with real conviction, and it’s notable that once he returns to the surface, all the talking starts to pay off. His leaving the caves triggers Morka’s coup, and gets everything moving up top. Baker is very eager to convince himself that he escaped… But it’s hardly surprising, as he’s been self-delusional all along, with his saboteur obsessions. Then he staggers out to die, for a staggeringly grim cliffhanger – surely the scariest in the series so far. And there are still two episodes to go… Facing the gravest threat to humanity since the Black Death (or possibly the last story), the Doctor immediately trusts the Brigadier to act, and Lethbridge-Stewart appears to trust the Doctor again to get the problem sorted – though he’s not forgotten the trouble his scientific adviser’s been earlier. The Brigadier’s worth his weight in gold, doing the right thing immediately at the hospital (even though that happens to be ordering people about with a gun), and the Doctor sets up his regimen of injections. Part of the implicit bargain here appears to be that when the Brigadier tells the long-suffering Liz to staff the phones and she protests, once again the Doctor backs him up! No wonder she ends up leaving so soon, and of course sooner still it’s all the more ironic that the Brigadier completely stiffs the Doctor at the end, with Liz his apologist – as if even she finally loses patience with the Doctor, despite agreeing with his views (and in the book, of course, she’s pissed off with him throughout). Even the Brigadier’s unusually efficient bit of martial law is unable to prevent Masters reaching London, and while the journey there may be less tense than in the novel, the arrival is stunning. The Marylebone scenes are extraordinarily well-mounted and scary; aliens with rayguns are one thing, but this is even worse than the more obviously memorable Autons on the high street; this is an everyday place ravaged by a horrible illness, and is horribly plausible in its turn. It looks like a documentary or some disaster drama. It makes you really proud of Doctor Who, that it can be so depressing! Oh, hang on… As the guard pitches over and the camera follows the blue lamp, it looks like the end of the world is approaching. Mass death and panic are brought home by also focusing on the death of poor Masters, staggering around London before toppling down, and accompanied by Morka’s most chilling line so far, a whispered “I am the Leader now” that finally sounds in control, just as Lawrence is on the verge of finally losing his in winding up Dr Shaw. The effect is to suggest the Wenley Moor director is stupid and the new shelter leader isn’t, but viewers will of course know they share the same critical error of disregarding the Doctor: “They’re only apes,” says Morka. Lawrence’s final end is striking in a number of ways – it’s yet another real character who hasn’t even made it to the final episode, let alone out of the final credits, and as well as his ghastly blistering from the plague helping bring home its threat, his raving is highly disturbing. As with the disease, this unusual story first warns, then illustrates – it doesn’t just tell us that the place is riddled with nervous breakdowns, but actually shows us one, and very squirmy it is to watch, too. The story’s length and well-drawn characters mean that almost uniquely in the series, Lawrence has time to descend into paranoid madness, and we care about it. This is perhaps the most frightening episode of Doctor Who, because it’s the most believable. We see the spread of the disease; we see people we ‘know’ die from it or lose their minds from the horror; we see our heroes desperately struggling to find a cure, or the Brigadier trying to keep the country afloat on the ’phone. Extraordinarily, rather than becoming dated, the modern advance of combined drug treatments to check the effects of viruses like HIV only adds greater plausibility – though the same can hardly be said for the line, “Some of these drugs are so new we don’t even know their properties yet.” So they could be, what, dancefloor fun, or antifreeze? So caught up can you be by the terrifying culture shock of the biological warfare that it’s easy to forget its instigators. Unwise, of course, but so do the regulars, and although it’s interesting to see ‘young stallion’ Morka cutting through rock from the front, it’s difficult not to feel that the cliffhanger reintroducing a less virulent threat and carrying off the Doctor with his most unconvincing boggle actually lowers the dramatic tension rather than raising it as a climax should. Still, more room for the Brigadier to come over well (“With respect, sir, I don’t think you understand the gravity of the situation. …But there’s no time to refer it to the Defence Committee!”) before making something of a tactical blunder in allowing his men to be lured out. In the endgame, it’s obviously easier to convey the drama of a big ticking bomb / gun / molecular disperser than it is to show a disease being cured all round (thrilling zooms on: hospital beds and Horlicks!), even if it still feels like a lower gear than last week’s. More interestingly, you can see points at which the trust between the Doctor and the Brigadier deteriorates further; after being kept waiting so long for the antidote formula, Lethbridge-Stewart would be only human to entertain the odd doubt on the Doctor disappearing in the company of ‘the enemy’. The Doctor then reappearing, in white, framed by psychotic reptile people, not only looks scary – he actually shows no sign of being bothered at first that they’re going to kill UNIT’s CO. It’s Hawkins’ attack that saves him, and only then does the Doctor appear to make up his mind (but, some might say, at least Avon gets killed). The reptile people’s random killing of base staff at the end is actually quite chilling, too. Monsters usually threaten; they don’t just scythe down characters straight away! It’s rather more like a modern terrorist drama than typical Doctor Who, and serves to emphasise both this serial’s unusually high body count and how few of those have actually died in the ‘thrilling shoot-out’ action you’d normally expect. We’re still some way off the end credits for Episode 7, yet most of the people in Episode 1 are long-dead, and half the cast who made it this far will be dead by the end. It also serves to emphasise the deadly intent of the rather uninspiring prehistoric microwave with which the human race is to be cooked, though in fairness the machine also supplies more evidence of the so far somewhat sparse reptile civilisation. A bit of art wouldn’t hurt, a bit more technology, or more than two sound effects while they do everything by third eye ‘magic’. “Doctor, what do you think you’re doing?” asks the Brigadier, who by now is clearly far from convinced that the Doctor is play-acting when he goes to help the Elder Earthlings (and in that rather unwise t-shirt, he does look a bit shifty). “You mustn’t help him!” he even orders Liz, who – like the audience – has more faith, but the skilful writing and Courtney’s performance make his not trusting the Doctor an inch perfectly understandable. It’s also rather impressive that the Doctor really does have to overload the power core to scare off the reptile people – for once, it’s not just a bluff – and that the same thing that wakes the reptile people in the first place becomes the cause of their downfall, rather than the power being merely a background detail. With the machine blown up, the monsters in retreat and the Doctor saying “Yes, I know, I’ll try fusing the control of the neutron flow” (admittedly not then the cosy nod that that sort of line has become in retrospect), you’d expect this to be the end, but the last few minutes are brilliant – just when every other Who story would finish, we get great stuff like Morka finally showing he’s not just a violent egomaniac, as he realises that leadership involves responsibility. It makes his death suddenly poignant, and rather graphic. The Doctor is really, well, Doctorish with his pursuit of scientific knowledge, and what a joy it is to see that – except for the Brigadier, who is having none of it, but not yet blustering. Lethbridge-Stewart gives him a seriously evil look as the Doctor contemplates a reptile revival, and while I’m on the Doctor’s side through and through, now I can see what’s brought the Brigadier to this point, I wonder if the Doctor couldn’t have retained his trust, and so kept Morka’s people alive. It isn’t really their disagreement that precipitates the final crisis, but their distrust – it’s not impossible that the Brigadier’s sealing of the caves is not inevitable, but in part a lesson to the Doctor, to show him ‘who’s boss’. Both actors are at their very best, with shock meeting quiet, deadly efficiency. Has Jon Pertwee a finer moment than that appalled look at the exploding caves, in a fantastic Doctor scene that lures you into thinking it’ll just be the comic relief? The Doctor loses. He actually loses. And the first person to beat him since The Aztecs’ Tlotoxl is to become his friend; it’s easy to conclude that it’s a shame they had to get on after this. I’m no longer sure that’s true. Perhaps this is simply a better story than any that follow with the Doctor and UNIT, and none of the rest could cope with this level of drama. But perhaps also the Doctor realises that UNIT is in the right place at the right time, and could be doing the right thing if he changed tactics and tried harder to persuade them; it’s a better excuse for his becoming the ‘establishment’ Doctor than any other I’ve heard, and despite his loud distaste for politicians, for once it’s an argument for working ‘inside the system’. This Doctor’s instincts have been spot-on, and he’s tried to do good throughout, but it’s all undermined by his own fatal flaw: arrogance. Ironically, the Doctor realises that the solution is for everybody just to get along with each other, but his confrontational approach and unwillingness to trust people with information shows that he’s incapable of following his own advice. In life, in politics and in Doctor Who and the Silurians, getting everyone’s backs up rarely gets you results, even if you’re right. Run end credits – and notice how much shorter they are than for than Episode 1. Oh, and I have to get this out of my system: he’s not Doctor Who. They’re not Silurians. But it’s still a cool title. This story has a lot to answer for… Reading its message that green scaly rubber people are people too turned me into a Liberal. Appropriately, it’s one of the few [Twentieth Century] Doctor Who stories I saw first as an adult that I can remember exactly where I was when I saw it for the first time. It was five am the day after it was released by BBC Video, and I was crashing in a sleeping bag on someone’s floor (the glamour of politics) and blearily determined to get it all watched before it was time to go out for another day’s trudging the streets to canvass and deliver leaflets in the 1993 Christchurch by-election, which turned out to be a great Liberal Democrat victory over the Tories. Devoted as I was to the cause, this story was still something I desperately wanted to make time for as early as possible, and I was thrilled – even though it had actually been a life-changing experience many years earlier. And without having read the book, who knows? Perhaps I wouldn’t have been there at all… So that – originally written in 2002 – was where my crucial political breakthrough took place, probably aged about seven when I found a copy of the novelisation on holiday. I still love both the book and the TV story, though I often wonder what I’d have made of the Doctor (Jon Pertwee, of whom I have mixed feelings) suddenly stuck on Earth and working for the military rather than travelling through history and to alien worlds if I’d already been watching the series at the time. I might have hated it. But I wasn’t born by 1970, and with the Doctor long since freed to wander again through time and space by the time I was captivated by first seeing Doctor Who, it’s easy to be fond of a time that had finished. I love Doctor Who for its variety – and the period during which he was exiled to Earth, while denying that variety when it was all there was, is now an interesting part of it when I can look back across the lot. Doctor Who In 1970, In Colour (Separation Overlay) 1970 was an extraordinary year for Doctor Who. A bold relaunch for the series, in colour, with a new Doctor exiled to modern-day-after-tomorrow Earth, it’s by a long way the most Earthbound the series has ever been. Again, you’d think that means I’d hate it. And yet… Each one of the stories is just so good. Doctor Who and the Silurians is undoubtedly the best of them, but I’ve also written reviews of Spearhead From Space and Inferno, and I’m sure I’ll be excited enough to do the same when The Ambassadors of Death makes it to DVD, so I can’t think of any other season where every single story is of such consistently high quality. It’s certainly not my favourite year of Who – yes, I do prefer those with more variety, with different times, different worlds, and a different tone to the fairly relentless butch soldiery – but that’s not any of the individual stories’ faults; the season’s hugely impressive, but it’s a little less than the sum of its parts. I mentioned a technological as well as a political breakthrough above – on 6th August 1969 there was a five-hour test session at the BBC for a new technique called Colour Separation Overlay, or CSO. Well, it was called that at the BBC; everyone else called it “Chromakey,” or more commonly these days “greenscreen” or “bluescreen”; it’s when you programme a video camera so it doesn’t capture anything in a particular colour, usually green or blue, so you can insert the bit the camera does ‘see’ onto another shot (for example, have someone mime flying against a blue background, then add them to a picture of the sky). But in Doctor Who, of course, the colour of monsters is green and the TARDIS is blue, so in the early ’70s they used a lot of disappearing yellow backgrounds instead. As Doctor Who and the Silurians was the first of the series to be shot on colour videotape (Spearhead From Space, the first colour Who story, was on film, which needs different techniques), it was the first to use CSO. It’s to make the caves look bigger in Episode 6, if you’re wondering, but the man in charge of that August 6th effects test was Barry Letts, who took over as producer of Doctor Who with …and the Silurians and devoutly believed that you could use CSO to do anything. So, over the next five years, he tried to prove it… Bye-Bye, But Why? Outpost Gallifrey But back to my review above. It’s a little odd reading it after about seven years. My style’s changed a great deal, and so has the context. I originally wrote it for Outpost Gallifrey, at the time the biggest Doctor Who fan site. Regular readers of my summer repeats season (stalled in the last few weeks) will be aware that, as well as that site’s owner closing down its associated private forum and its successor forum, in an act of vandalism, he’s now obliterated the main site, too. I really can’t see the point: he’s said that the closed forums had to be deleted for privacy’s sake, but the thousands of reviews and articles people had contributed to Outpost Gallifrey were always free for use of the public. I had only eight pieces on there, but one bloke had reviewed every single Twentieth Century Who TV story, and many others as well – and, unlike a lot of Internet reviews, his were rather interesting. That’s about 200 just from one chap that I enjoyed reading and can’t any more, for no particular reason save selfish destructiveness, and the fact that the site domain still exists as a big advert for a money-spinning convention makes it seem like two fingers up to all the people whose work for free had made the original site a success. Grr. But anyway, back in 2002 I wrote this review for what I assumed was an audience of Doctor Who fans who’d be intimately familiar with the story, or at least with the general details surrounding it. So the main thing that struck me was that now I wouldn’t write something quite so utterly preaching to the converted; enthusiastically insular as I may still be, these days I at least make the odd concession to readers who don’t know exactly what I’m talking about before I start (and I’ve added the odd expositionary word above to make some of it marginally less impenetrable). Following on from that, it’s also a lot more spoiler-heavy than many of my pieces now, and without any spoiler warnings for those who’ve not seen the story. The other huge stylistic difference is how linear it all is. Were I starting out on a detailed review of Doctor Who and the Silurians today, I might base it around the themes, or the characters – I wouldn’t just plough through the story in order any more. In many ways, my reactive approach above (and particularly the funny asides I thought of and crowbarred in) reads like a ‘not the DVD commentary’ years before the story was released on DVD. It’s not just the DVD release that’s changed the context since I wrote it, of course – Doctor Who’s come back on TV, and I’d assume that people interested in the show would be a far wider group, but also far less knowledgeable of every single story from the series’ whole forty-six years (and, of course, today I’d imagine very different members of the Cabinet slaughtering each other). Beneath the Surface On DVD If you want to experience Doctor Who and the Silurians for yourself, then – and, for me, it’s still one of the best Doctor Who stories ever made, even aside from its personal effect on me – pick up the Beneath the Surface DVD box set, which has been out a couple of years now and so you should be able to find fairly cheap. The two sequels with it decline sharply (one exciting but dumb, the other rather less exciting and dumber), though the three collected ‘reptile people’ stories have the distinction of all having their own isolated scores on the DVD, which in the case of the two ’70s stories makes them exceedingly rare – though the quality of the scores rises sharply, in inverse proportion to the stories themselves (perhaps fortunately, listening to the music for this story in isolation you realise how very little there is of it, however shonky the crumhorns are when they sound). You’ll also find that Doctor Who and the Silurians has inconsistent picture quality; restored from a good black and white print and a very, very poor colour home video, it’s a massive improvement on the old VHS restoration, but you can still tell there’s something a bit iffy about it. Despite that, some scenes are arrestingly impressive with the new treatment – Jon Pertwee no longer looking like he’s been coloured in with felt-tips for the terrific Episode 5 cliffhanger, for example, or the sweeping helicopter shots and fantastic zooms for the UNIT search across the moors now looking far more expensive and expansive than they did in grainy near-black and white. The other advantage of seeing Doctor Who and the Silurians on DVD, of course, is that it’s packed with extras. There’s a particularly fine commentary, mixing people from before and behind the camera. That means it can move naturally from details like the director explaining his painting the upper third of the lens red for a Silurian-eye view – in a story all about seeing things from different people’s points of view – to moments of dry humour like Peter Miles admonishing Caroline John over her flippant wish for a third eye with which to shut people up (“Some of us died because of these things”), or the marvellous Geoffrey Palmer bringing it right up to date with “My son would have been hiding behind the sofa while watching this… And in the last series that went out, he directed four of them.” And, back to the different points of view, the actors all constantly debate the story’s politics, often though not always siding with their characters’ viewpoints, while script editor Terrance Dicks calls the Doctor “an incorrigible liberal” and “a Guardian-reading liberal”. Hurrah! The text notes are informative and often amusing – thankfully, over seven episodes, they’re written by Martin Wiggins, definitely the best of the DVD annotators, deftly explaining such elements as the slightly confused science without either getting defensive or just slagging the programme off; after sketching out the Silurian Era, he concludes, “So why are the reptiles in this serial known as Silurians? Simply because Malcolm Hulke liked the sound of the name!” Which is as good a writer’s reason as any. And, amongst all the on-screen documentaries and other extras – photo galleries, “Now and Then” location features, the music, the restoration – there’s arguably the best single DVD extra the range has yet offered, What Lies Beneath, a BBC4-style visual essay on the issues behind the story, splendidly narrated by Geoffrey Palmer (I mention him again, but he does have a marvellous voice and knows how to use it), featuring Doctor Who writers from the ’60s to today and even Roy Hattersley. Well, he’s not bad in this. Doctor Who and the Cave Monsters Given that the novelisation Doctor Who and the Cave Monsters had such a profound effect on me, though it’s long out of print, I should of course mention that it’s now available on a shiny silver disc of its own, read by Caroline John (Dr Liz Shaw) as a talking book. She even plugs it on the DVD commentary, bringing in some of its extra details. It’s well worth picking up and a rather good reading of an outstanding book that adds much extra depth to the characters and situation, though not perfect. It suffers from printing the novel’s gorgeous original internal illustrations not at full-page size, but rather smaller than postage stamps, which reduces their impact. Caroline’s brilliant as Liz, particularly when she comes close to murdering the Doctor in his smugger moments, and has fun with her pompous Doctor and Brigadier voices, but is slightly uncertain as a narrator, though noticeably gaining confidence as she goes along. The biggest let-down of both elements is Dr Quinn; the most fascinating character for me growing up, tensely written like the spy drama double agent who’s got the secret communications device from his handlers, ambitious to make his own scientific mark, manipulating Miss Dawson, then finally dying in a thrillingly written sequence accompanied by an outstanding illustration. Neither has quite the same effect when you have to squint at a tiny picture and, unfortunately, Caroline’s terrible cod-Scots accent makes it less poignant and more of a relief for Quinn to be killed off. Still, if you can ignore what Dr Quinn sounds like, I’d thoroughly recommend the book either on the page or on CD – and when I picked it as one of my summer reading choices for another site last year, people even seemed to like my writing… Labels: Doctor Who, DVD, Fandom, In-Depth Doctor Who, Jon Pertwee, Liberalism, Obscure Doctor Who Jokes, Outpost Gallifrey Reprints, Personal, Reviews, The Brigadier, The Golden Dozen	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0096.json.gz/line236

The campaign, called “Tips From Former Smokers,” profiles people who are living with the significant adverse health effects due to smoking, such as stomas, paralysis from stroke, lung removal, heart attack, and limb amputations. The advertisements underscore the immediate damage that smoking can cause to the body and feature people who experienced smoking-related diseases at a relatively young age. Some of the people were diagnosed with life-altering diseases before they were 40 years old. These hard-hitting ads will help people quit, saving lives and decreasing the huge economic burden caused by tobacco use. The campaign will serve as an important counter to expenditures for marketing and promotion of cigarettes that exceed $1 million an hour—more than $27 million a day—in the United States. The campaign also gives voice to former smokers who provide tips on how they successfully quit. Each tip, such as throwing away their cigarettes and ashtrays, exercising, identifying a strong reason to quit, and “just keep trying,” has been shown to help. All of the ads contain a very clear and encouraging message to smokers that they CAN quit and that free resources are available by calling 1-800-QUIT-NOW or accessing www.smokefree.gov. Please scroll down to view video clips of several former smokers profiled in the campaign. Cessation Tips Ad You can quit smoking! This inspiring TV ad features three people who successfully quit smoking after many years.

__label__cc	0.526898	0.473102	20/20 Hindsight: Mets Sweep Marlins Like Good Teams Do The Mets are three games over .500 for the first time since April 23rd. They are now just one game behind in the Wild Card race, and they are eight games out in the division. Things are much more interesting in Queens. 1. The Mets went 14-2 against an easy stretch of games which included the Padres, White Sox, Pirates, and Marlins. Malign this all you want, but this is exactly how good teams play against bad teams. 2. The pivotal point in this series was with the Mets trailing 4-2 heading into the bottom of the seventh in the second game of the doubleheader. The homers by J.D. Davis, Michael Conforto, and Pete Alonso saved the game, and it served not just as a launching pad for the Mets winning that game but also sweeping the series. Who knows how much further that inning will take them. 3. Davis has been the Mets best hitter at home. For some reason, Citi Field is like Coors Field to him. With the Mets having a lot of home games remaining, he becomes increasingly more important to the team. 4. Conforto has arguably been the Mets best player in the second half. Since the All Star Break, he is hitting .315/.406/.641. Before his concussion, Conforto was hitting .274/.412/.519. Ultimately, when he is healthy, this is the level of player Conforto is, and that level is being a great player. 5. Alonso has homered in three straight, and he is just two behind Cody Bellinger‘s National League Rookie record. He is four behind the Mets single season record shared by Todd Hundley and Carlos Beltran. He’s followed every bad month with a good month. His defense has been much better than it was last year. What else is there to say about him? 6. Like many of the Mets players, Wilson Ramos has stepped it up. So far in August, he is hitting .417/.440/.708. To a certain extent, this outburst should have been foreseen. Traditionally, August is Ramos’ second best month of the season, and he hit .337/.396/.483 in the second half for the Rays and Phillies last year. 7. The Mets need these bats and others to step up in Robinson Cano‘s absence. While Cano has been frustrating at times, his replacements have not fared that well this year. The combination of Aaron Altherr, Luis Guillorme, Adeiny Hechavarria, and Juan Lagares have combined to go 2-for-26 with a run, three walks, a double, and 10 strikeouts. 8. Seeing this production, the Mets should go out and claim Joe Panik. As noted yesterday, even at a 69 wRC+, Panik would be the best hitter of this group. His defense would also be an improvement over what Cano offered. It should also be noted Panik has some upside as well. 9. On the idea of upside candidates, the Mets need some bullpen help. The Mets appear loathe to use Donnie Hart and Chris Mazza, and the Mets cannot continue to operate with no trust at all with two of the arms in their bullpen. On that front, Cody Allen, Brad Brach, and Greg Holland are available. The Mets also have quality organization options in Chris Flexen, Eric Hanhold, and Paul Sewald. 10 One interesting development with no August trades is we are seeing teams designate players for assignment now instead of floating them through waivers and holding onto them until competing teams look to obtain them right before rosters expand to 40 in September. 11. As we have seen with Lee Mazzilli and Addison Reed, the player the Mets obtain in August can make a huge different for a team looking to win a pennant and a World Series. Given the team’s depth and bullpen issues, they need to take a hard look at whomever hits the waiver wire over the next few weeks. 12. There was a time where people were calling for Mickey Callaway to be fired, and now, we are seeing writers begin to advocate for his winning National League Manager of the Year. 13. Remember most discussions about the manager are narrative driven and are reflective of a team’s performance. They are rarely, if ever, resultant of actual analysis of player progression and effort. 14. The Mets need better than Wayne Randazzo on the radio. He has no sense of team history, and as evidenced by his being unaware of egg creams, he’s not even well versed in the area. Really, when you break it down, you really have to question what he does well. 15. It certainly isn’t analysis with his attributing Conforto’s success to Alonso. Aside from the studies refuting the concept of lineup protection, it’s absurd a hitter as good as Conforto needed lineup protection to succeed. 16. The Mets radio play-by-play job is perhaps the radio job with the highest standards there are. Two of the greatest to ever do it, Bob Murphy and Gary Cohen, have held that job. Howie Rose is every bit their peer. We need better than Randazzo. 17. The Mets defense has been much better of late. We saw this with the Mets infield turning 10 double plays against the Marlins. When you play defense this way, all the pitchers look better. The real key has been Amed Rosario becoming a plus defender at SS. 18. Jason Vargas getting roughed up by the Diamondbacks is a reminder bad players outplaying their peripherals regress, and the Mets trading him to the Phillies was the one trade which really helped the Mets chances of grabbing a Wild Card. 19. The last time things were like this with the Mets, they had just obtained Yoenis Cespedes right before sweeping the Nationals to tie for the division lead and make a march towards the pennant. This year is starting to have the same feeling. 20. Marcus Stroman‘s first Citi Field start is going to be absolutely electric. That game and the series cannot get here soon enough.

__label__cc	0.707054	0.292946	Minimum requirement, maximum effort: partnership’s mantra yielding results Minimum requirement, maximum effort. That’s the approach I said we would be taking at the launch of Bradford’s economic growth strategy in March 2018. I said we wanted to create a movement in Bradford and make sure everyone is pointing in the same direction because getting this right means we can add £4bn to the district economy, create 20,000 new jobs and improve the skills of nearly 50,000 residents by 2030. Exactly one year after launch, the Bradford Economic Partnership will be sharing with invited guests the strong progress our district has made in attracting new investors, starting up and scaling up businesses, building new partnerships and bringing more people into the workforce. Twelve months on, we want to celebrate our achievements to date, including the birth of 4,127 businesses in 2018, or 15 new start-ups every working day, and the identification of 48 high growth scale-ups in Bradford; a jobs boom of 6,500 new roles (based on latest available figures), all created by our enterprising private sector, representing a rise of nearly 5 per cent; breaking the 20,000 barrier in the number of BME women in employment, almost double the amount since 2010; and an inflation-busting seven per cent increase in average weekly workplace earnings to £488 in 2018. Beyond these eye-catching headlines, we have staged inspirational events such as Bradford Manufacturing Week and Bradford Literature Festival, welcomed new names to the district and wider city region such as a professional services giant and the national broadcaster Channel 4, and convened local businesses for the truly inspirational Bradford Business Improvement District. In a challenging year for the wider UK economy, our strategy is taking us in the right direction and that is testament to the strong partnerships we are building across the public and private sector. Hats off to Cllr Susan Hinchcliffe and CEO Kersten England and their team at Bradford Council, colleagues at the Bradford Economic Partnership, the Bradford Chamber of Commerce and business community, our educational institutions, our charities and our arts organisations. Mike Cartwright, policy and representation executive at West and North Yorkshire Chamber of Commerce, said: “Many businesses in Bradford were involved in the preparatory work ahead of the launch of the economic strategy, and so they will be interested in hearing about the changes since then. It’s been a difficult 12 months for many firms, and that uncertainty and trepidation that has grown in recent months may well continue for some time. “All the more reason to give businesses and other communities the best assurances we can and support them in the best possible way. And that’s what the strategy does. It helps set out a framework for the district to realise its potential and seize its opportunities. It was created as a joint effort, and the objectives will be achieved jointly too. “Whether that’s highlighting the opportunities in manufacturing for young people, lobbying for better transport connectivity across the North, or simply helping to sustain an environment in which business can thrive, the Chamber is happy to be a part of Bradford’s Economic Partnership.” Mr Cartwright added: “Despite the ongoing uncertainty and the repeated challenges facing businesses today, it’s pleasing to note the great strides made by the district over the last 12 months. An exceptional increase in start-ups, job growth happening at an excellent rate and weekly earnings increasing at far above the inflation rate are just some of the outstanding markers that next month’s celebratory event will herald – and rightly so, too. We have lots of good news to shout about.” Bradford Economic Strategy +365 Days takes place on March 6 in Keighley and guests will be hearing from Cllr Hinchcliffe and myself about how our young and enterprising population, distinctive offer, growth potential and global connections are helping to make meaningful progress against our ambitious growth targets. They’ll also be hearing me repeat my mantra of minimum requirement, maximum effort. I suspect it’s going to be another challenging 12 months but with everyone pointing in the same direction, you’ll be surprised what we can achieve by working together.

__label__cc	0.715733	0.284267	Firearms Finishes OGRE VIDEO Terminal Ballistics The Old MadOgre.com The Uprising Saga 10/31/2013 MadOgre 20 Comments Breakfast Burritos. I’m a huge breakfast guy. The whole “Most Important Meal Of The Day” is a tradition that I follow. Those are words I live by. Yes, I live by those words. And they have never failed me. And of all the breakfast foods one could have, my favorite thing to eat in the world in the morning… The Breakfast Burrito. Food of a Loving and Caring God. And there are none to be found in this area. I’m not going to say that North Carolina doesn’t know a good breakfast… they have that Southern Breakfast thing down. Grits and Eggs, all that and then some. But they don’t know a good Breakfast Burrito. At least not that I have seen. Now, I did hit a Sheetz gas station chain with the fancy touch screen menu that lets you pick what you want in the burrito – and that was good. Namely because I was able to pick what I wanted in the thing. Other than that… Every breakfast burrito I’ve had in North Carolina, and Virginia for that matter, has been somewhere between Poor and Terrible. Let me put it this way… they have been so bad here, that they make me miss the horrible breakfast burritos made at the IGA Deli behind Basin Sports in Vernal, Utah. Because those, as nasty as they usually were… you could ever once in awhile get one that was just “MMMM!” and it was delicious and made right all the disappointments before it. I’ve not had that in a Breakfast Burrito since I’ve been here. Closest thing is Sonic. You know Sonic… the red button and the car hops that bring the food to your car. Yeah… they have their Super Sonic Breakfast Burrito, which is okay. But the problem is that Sonic hasn’t embraced the BB. So they don’t care. So they don’t fill the BB like they could. They make them small and thin and filled with disappointment and regret and after eating one you are still hungry, but not enough to do a second one. This morning I had one from Chic-Fil-A. Now, they do make a good chicken sandwich, I’ll give them that. But the just really need to avoid attempting a BB. Because what I had this morning was probably the worst thing ever. McDonald’s little cigarette thin things they call Breakfast Burritos, while just stupid, at least taste better than the shame Chic-Fil-A rolled into a stale flatbread. And McDonald’s. Just… stop. No… I mean it… just stop it. BreakfastBurrito Jeremy Clarkson is right. 10/30/2013 MadOgre 6 Comments Some years ago Jeremy Clarkson said upon returning home to the UK from a trip to the US, that he was glad to be back in a free country. This statement of course, pissed me slam off. How dare that pompous imperial claim that the ultimate nanny state of the UK, was a country with more freedom and liberty than the great US of A. That arrogant unmitigated asshat. That jowly overstuffed, jean wearing, Corvette Driving, cowboy boot strutting, clown of a man… would be proved right by our own Government. Here we are, years later. Our Government has attempted a take over of the Auto Industry. Has taken over 1/6th of our Nations Economy and has told us to buy their Insurance or Else. Our phones and emails and all other forms of communications are recorded for use against us. Drones are in the skies above us. Our Police Officers are pointing guns at us. Our Military is told that we are the bad guys, those of us who go to church on Sunday and might read the Drudge Report. We are the problem, and more Government is the solution. And Jeremy Clarkson is right. Damn that man. I was comfortable being smug knowing that he was wrong and that he had to cope with security cameras at every corner and “Health and Safety” was always looking out for him. But he’s only Monitored when he steps out of his front door, or gets behind the wheel of some car with more than 10 cylinders. In the UK, the Ministries really don’t care what he does unless he breaks a law. And now I sit back and wait for the CIA and the NSA to message me that I made a typo here and that they agree with me. Because I know now that here in the USA, freedom is only an expensive illusion. We are the problem, more Government is the solution. (Homeland Security just let me know I dropped a letter “Y” on “they”) I however believe that the Government is the problem and that we are the solution. Unfortunately no one is going to throw the switch. FreedomLiberty Morally Justifiable Couple weeks ago I went through my DVD collection and pulled out all my Rated R movies. These movies were put into a box, leaving only the lesser rated movies. The purpose was to clean out any movies which did not uplift or teach a valuable and morally justifiable lesson. After reviewing the films remaining and those removed, I quickly found that the R rating was no watermark for judging a movie’s content. Some movies I put back on the shelf. Some for the lessons or historical perspective or moral object lessons provided… Rob Roy, Saving Private Ryan…. among others. And then I looked at the rest that remained… Films rated PG-13 and such “Safe” movies. Many were light minded, vapid, or every bit as deserving of an R rating due to content and language. Many had no historical lessons or held any moral justification. Many I felt were more spiritually damaging than some which had been culled. I didn’t have time to finish the filtering… but will do so later. But my goal is to leave movies which have a purpose. Talking about this with my Bride, we determined that the deciding factor would be “What lessons do we want to our sons learning?” Movies, like literature often carry lessons for life. These can shape one’s views and opinions which can effect future moral decisions. Don’t try to tell me that Film is a weak medium and has no effect on Character. Film is visual literature and literature helps mold Character one way or another. Take a look at the films in your homes. What lessons are you getting from them? How is that R Rating matching the lessons you want to share with your prodigy? My Grandfather served in World War II. Saving Private Ryan, while a work of fiction, gives a very realistic interpretation of some of the things my Grandfather experienced or witnessed. The story it’s self walks through a series of some things that had actually happened in that war. And while no documentary feature, I feel it is a good example of that era in history. It also tells of of the moral of service and sacrifice and duty to causes higher than one’s self. That’s just an example of a rated R movie that is probably worth keeping. I’m keeping it. Mormons as a whole try to avoid R rated movies in general. But I tell you what… I’d rather my kids watch The Patriot or The Last Samurai than Dumb and Dumber or Twilight. MoviesTeaching Where Pontiac went wrong. I’ve seen a lot of classic old cars lately. One in particular stood out to me. A GTO. Everything good about Pontiac started out here. Small car, simple, reliable, clean lines, and a nice big fat powerful engine. This is a winning formula. But Pontiac drank the Koolaid of their own greatness, bowed to the pressures of Parent Company GM who force fed them crap like they were Tail End Charlie in The Human Centipede. But Pontiac used to be good… and at times along the way, shown absolute brilliance. Pontiac’s catch phrase was “We build excitement”, and after that was “Wider is Better”. Unfortunately “Excitement” meant that they took something totally coma-inducingly boring, and threw on some plastic body cladding to make it wider. This was utter failure on every level. At no point now one had the guts to tell upper management that they were all complete idiots. The G8 GXP was absolutely awesome. But it came too late. The 2004 GTO was the first time since 1967 that the Brand really looked at it’s self and said that they needed to get serious again. Shortly there after, they brought out the Solstice. Which was great, but was a close miss. It was almost there. The Solstice was also run as the Saturn Sky… Which was a solid hit. Can you see the difference? The Solstice looks like it was swollen from a food allergy, where the Sky looked lean and mean. This small, light, efficient sports car may not have sold all that well, but they did sell to those that appreciated the concept. The Sky’s are demanding a premium price still, where several of the Solistici that I’ve seen have been selling for a deeper discount. But where did Pontiac go wrong? What happened to that Excitement? 2001 happened. Pontiac released the Aztek. Worse yet, the Design Team of the Aztek was not abducted and executed by firing squad as a sacrifice to the Gear-Headed Gods of Horsepower and Torque. Pontiac keep pushing the Aztek through 2005. Which means they kept backing it and hoping that it would take off with a sudden appreciation for it and Dan Colen paintings. I had a friend that was a Pontiac Salesman at a Dealership. I asked him what the hell was wrong with Pontiac. He just shook his head and quit the next day. This was about 4 months after the Aztek had come out and landed at his dealership. He had worked there for 12 years. Another guy that left Pontiac – John DeLorean. He’s the guy that gave us the Pontiac GTO and tried to do many other awesome things at Pontiac until 1969, when he was sent to Chevy. But when LeLorean left, that was the death knell for Pontiac since no one after him had enough balls to keep the brand alive. Look what happened to Pontiac after he left… The Firefly, the 6000, the Sunburst, the Wave, the 3rd Gen “Tempest”… don’t even get me started on the Montana. And then that Aztek. None of them had the Excitement that the Pontiac Badge tried to sell. So where did Pontiac go wrong? They didn’t find the next John DeLorean. John went on to bigger and better things… He build the 1.21 Gigawatt Time Machines (that only produced a measly 130 horsepower at the wheels) and then he went and originated the Breaking Bad concept. Pontiac needed a Rockstar Lead Singer… but never found another. They were Guns and Roses after Axle left. They were David Lee Roth after Van Halen left. Pontiac was doomed. GM should have set Pontiac apart from the rest… made them their performance marquee brand. They really had something special and they crushed the life out of it, slowly, cruelly, like keeping an unloved child locked in a basement all it’s life, until it dies and gets buried in the back yard in the middle of the night. Shame on you, GM. Shame on you. CarsPontiac My disagreement with Grant Cunningham and Rob Pincus… My disagreement with Grant Cunningham and Rob Pincus regarding the Beretta 92FS. I checked out a podcast that Rob Pincus was guesting on not too long ago. The question was asked “What gun do you hate when they show up at your courses” or something along those lines… I forget, it’s been awhile since I heard the podcast. Rob’s answer was “The Beretta 92”. Now, I respect Rob a great deal, and while we differ in opinion on something, I always respect his opinions and positions because he always has a well reasoned explanation for them. Rob tends to not like the Beretta because it’s large and heavy for it’s caliber… it is. It has an old fasioned DA/SA Trigger mechanism… it does. And it has an upside down, slide mounted safety lever. Yup. It has that too. This is a trifecta of good reasons not to like the Beretta. Rob is a believer in consistency, and a good consistent and simple trigger mechanism as in a modern striker fired pistol gives the shooter some advantage… Yes, that’s true too. But I still disagree with him regarding the Beretta 92. More on my rationalizations later. This morning I read an article by Grant Cunningham on why the Beretta 92 is an inefficient handgun for defense. And now I’m like “Oh come on.” I like Grant, and respect his opinions as well. However, I disagree with him on the Beretta 92. “When you need to use your handgun, it should ideally come out of the holster in a ready-to-fire condition without you needing to do anything extra before pulling the trigger.” I agree, Grant. And here is what I do… When I holster the Beretta, I then flick the weapon Off Safe. The Beretta is certainly safe to be carried in such a manner. Because in order to fire, the trigger must be pulled all the way to the rear to move the rather large and over-sized firing-pin block up and out of the way of the firing pin. Also, the trigger being pulled to the rear moves the hammer back against spring tension, into the firing position before it can be released to fly forward to hit the firing pin. These things are not going to happen on their own if the weapon is riding in any holster of half decent quality. Anything that could impact your holstered weapon hard enough to cause a discharge… Well, you’ve either been hit by an RPG or rapidly moving Osh-Kosh built M-ATV armored truck. Either way, you’ve got bigger problems to worry about than the risk of a 9mm wound in the leg. As far as DA/SA trigger pulls go. This is a training issue. I’ve seen many shooters running DA/SA guns, do so with great skill and with great results. SIG’s, HK’s, CZ’s, S&W’s, and most self loading guns that are not 1911’s or Striker Fired Polyguns are in fact DA/SA guns. A shooter can and will get used to the trigger mechanism if they will actually get out to the range and fire their weapons once in awhile and practice with them. Here’s the thing that the DA/SA guns have over most of these Striker Guns… That SA pull. I’ve fired some DA/SA guns with triggers so good it makes you want to go slap Gaston. Even with my tricked out Glock trigger, which is really dang good… It’s not as good as the SA pull on my Beretta 92. It just isn’t. Because mechanically all that trigger has to do is release the hammer. In the Glock and M&P, the trigger still has to pull that striker back just a little more before it can release. This gives it just a bit more take up… a little longer… just not quite there where a good SIG or Beretta or CZ trigger can be. I won’t say HK, because they have triggers like toggle switches, but that’s because the Germans believe in Corporal Mortification or something… I don’t know. But back to the Off Safe Carry, the process is simple. After firing, you decock and safe the weapon, holster safely, and then flick the weapon off safe. Done. The most dangerous moment in handling the weapon is when holstering. And holstering a decocked Beretta 92FS is probably the safest gun you could ease into any holster. It doesn’t get safer. The trigger is disconnected and the firing pin transfer is rotated 90 degrees away from the firing pin. There is no way a round could go off in this condition. No matter how sloppy your reholstering is. Once safely nestled in it’s holster and everything is good… Flick Your weapon is now read for a rapid draw and fire without worrying about an external safety. This method is not new or unique by any means. I know many Military Personnel who carry in this manner and are trained to carry in this manner. It’s safe and efficient and requires very little training to get used to doing. 1 day at the range. That’s it. Drill the motions for awhile, and then reinforce throughout a day of shooting… pretty much done. This is not solving a Rubik’s Cube. Give the Students more credit. Many who detract the Beretta’s mechanics make allowances for the 1911’s. Yet the Beretta has a couple distinct advantages. One, the Beretta’s safety when carried Off Safe is only manipulated after the fact. When everything is cooling back down and the gunshots are still ringing in your ears and your getting your breathing back into control… your checking yourself and following your training and thinking again. The 1911’s safety is manipulated in the heat of the “Oh Shit” moment when you “Skin Leather” and all your thinking about is that Treat Target that’s closing that 21 Foot Rule distance like a Saber Toothed Cheetah. It’s in that moment with a 1911 that you have to remember to sweep the lever Off Safe. Easier putting it on when reholstering than taking it off when drawing. See my point? Two, the other big advantage with Beretta is that I can load and unload the weapon, press check, and do whatever in need to with the Safety On. With the 1911, any slide movement has to be done with the safety off. And since you are gripping the weapon when doing it, you most likely also have the secondary grip safety disengaged as well. How many 1911 Operators out there have a 5 Gallon Bucket of Sand they use for Clearing and Loading in their home? Not many? Who’s safer? Advantage Beretta. I’m not saying a 1911 is unsafe here. But if we are boiling down Shooters as thick headed cavemen, I think I’d much rather see the students with a Beretta than a 1911. Personally I do cringe when students bring 1911’s shorter than 4 inches… but that’s because those guns are going to be jamming like a jazz band before the end of the day. And I’m saying this as a guy that loves 1911’s. But it’s an Aficionado’s gun. An Expert’s gun. The gun is large and doesn’t fit everyone. True. But if I am buying the gun for myself and it fits me, then why the hell do I care if it might not fit someone else? This is my gun. Don’t “What If” unlikely scenarios that support your throwing your weapon to a small handed partner to support your argument. Leave such moves for the next Die Hard movie. Sure the 92 is a large pistol. My hands are not all that large, and it fits me. I can shoot the Beretta quite well. And I enjoy doing so… Because evidently shooting the same gun that has served both Military and Law Enforcement roles around the world for the last 30 years is something again to grinding your own flour and baking your own bread these days. Quaint and rustic. Like rolling down a car’s window with a crank. Here’s the deal… The 92FS/M9 pistol is a fantastic handgun. It’s battle proven around the globe. It’s both accurate and reliable, and has proven to be more accurate and reliable than most. It’s passed all the tests and it’s leaped all the tall buildings and it’s still serving strong. It’s one of the very best handguns in the world. 92FSBerettaGunsM9Pistols Only Three. There are only three people in DC that are worth a damn. Ted Cruze, Mike Lee, and Rand Paul. Everyone else is completely useless and dangerous. And what’s worse is that the GOP is flat out against them. Working with the Democrats means giving in to them. Look at our Nation. How’s that worked out for us? The argument is that if we dont, we lose elections. Whats the point if we give in regardless? You know why we lose elections? Two reasons. One: Open Caucuses. We let anyone come in and vote for the Republican candidate… this lets the Donks pick our Candidate. Thats how we got McCain as our Candidate which is why we have Obama now. Two: Voter ID. You gotta have an ID for everything these days; except to Vote. Some states require it. Others don’t. The Donks always sweep No ID states. This is the precursor to Voter Fraud. If an ID was required, that would be a huge step to having an actual valid election. If we fix these two issues, the political landscape would be set straight in short order. We wont even get into Term Limits and Congressional Salary and Pensions. Perhaps a Congressman should only recieve a stipend for living expenses and sit in office for no more than 4 years and have no pension. Live like Monks instead of Rock Stars. Learn what the hell Public Servant means. Perhaps if serving in DC was a sacrifice than people like McCain and Pelosi and Reed wouldn’t be there… but more people like Mike Lee would hold Offices. People who believe in our Nation and would not use it for graft. And any accusation of wrong doing that’s proven true, be subject to instant Recall. If this was how it was in DC, our Nation would truly be the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave.

GravityMovies Armchair Quarterbacking: Kel-Tec It’s time for another Armchair Quarterbacking session of another Gun Maker. This time, I aim my sights on Kel-Tec. Kel-Tec CNC, Inc. is a small gun maker out of Florida that specializes in building some very affordable little guns, and some guns that are just crazy enough to be absolutely brilliant. One thing I admire about Kel-Tec is that they are clever and not afraid of trying something completely different. And because of this some things are quite all there. Not every piece of pasta sticks to the wall. But over all, it’s really a home run. However, it’s time to take them down a peg, and then bring them up a few notches, if you know what I mean. Let’s start with the Branding. From the perspective of a former 9 year Gun Dealer and dealing with the general gun buying American consumer, there is room for some work. I’m glad they took the US Flag out of the logo. I’m not saying that I’m tired of the Flag, but Old Glory shouldn’t be used in anyone’s marketing. The new logo however still has the red stripes, hinting at the flag that’s some place in negative space behind Kel-Tec. It even has some angle built in there to make it almost look like “action lines”. Moving forward… speed… That’s good. But the name in the logo is Kel-Tec. One of the most misspoken, misspelled names out there next to Burnelli. Let’s clean the name up, clean the logo up… and make it just “KT”. Maybe even with an angle. KT. Let’s try that in bold… KT. Solid. Simple. And hard to screw up. Throw in those red action lines behind that. HK, XD, FN… Those work, and KT works too. We want a new face for this brand once we are through… so KT is good to go. Moving on. Let’s go down the list of guns. First one, the SUB-2000. Generally the public has a love it or hate it response to the Sub-2000. What does the “Sub” mean? Don’t answer that, no one cares… But people do ask that at the gun counter. If I had a dollar for every time I was asked that question, I’d take my wife out to a lobster dinner. In France. And I wasn’t even a stocking dealer. Here’s the thing… This is a clever little carbine with a lot of spunk. If it were a dog, it would be a Jack Russel. I mean that as a compliment. Let’s first fix the name. Call it the S2K. The KT S2K. Just typing that, the hard core Gun Guys are going to readily and automatically know what that is. Because that’s what a lot of us call it anyways. You know what? Let’s take this gun up a notch, and end up calling the new version the KT S3K. Let’s start by getting rid of the folding trick. It’s really costs more sales than it’s garnered because most guys just didn’t like it and ended up picking something else. Anything else. Even the Hi-Point Carbine. Sure, the Sub-2000 has it’s fans, but it’s got more detractors. Which is why you don’t see them in everyone’s gun vaults. Let’s make it a fixed receiver, with the barrel threaded securely into a beefy steel block for best accuracy, like your SU-16. A trunnion (that means on a pivot) mounted barrel just gives a lot of people the creeps. Give it a monolithic top rail. This gets rid of the rear sight wedge thing. You show a tubed fore-end on the site, so I know you can do it… but I’ve never seen one in real life. The new hotness is a tube that goes all the way out to the muzzle. Do that. Let people decide what flip up or fixed sights they want on this. That’s what the people with the money to burn are buying. You don’t really need a muzzle break, but do it anyway. Because that’s what people with money are buying. Not an A2 style, do something that looks high tech. And then recess that and make the fore-end deflect the blast back forward. They are doing this with AR’s, you can figure that out here. Now instead of rails, leave it round, but use pre-threaded holes and rail sections so the customer can do whatever he or she wants with it. Redesign the pistol grip to be more like an PF-9’s grip in appearance and feel. That’s a good grip. It works, so pass it along. The Sub-2000 – S3K carbine can really use that. Contour the receiver’s looks to bring it up to date as well. The old one looks terrible. The stock needs to look more up to date as well. More like the new Battlelink Minimalist stock, and let it have a little adjustment for length of pull. To simplify things, I’d drop the number of magazine options to one. Glock. If you have to have two, then Glock and Beretta. Because those mags are cheap and abundant. You can do all of this and keep the price low… MSRP can be 699 and guys would line up to buy it. The SU-16. This is the Football Bat Rifle. You have the SU-16A, B, C, CA, and D, and they are all F, U, B, A, R. The Integral bi-pod is a pain in the membrane. Get rid of it. Any accuracy this thing can have is ruined with it, and if you grip it inconsistently. Give this the same free floating barrel treatment that we just discussed with the S3K. No more different versions, and get rid of the Grandpa’s Shotgun stock. Give it an AR Grip attachment point and sell it with a basic A2 grip on it. For the stock, give it something that looks like its off an ACR or SCAR or a G-36. Don’t do an AR stock here… you can Side Fold… Underfolding is a poor choice if you can Side Fold with some rigidity. Even Underfolding AK’s are less popular. Do this and the SU-16 will become quite popular very quickly. Also, the name… The Sucks 16? That’s what a lot of guys are calling it. Let’s get rid of that badge. Give it a good trigger pull, some nice looks on the receiver and call it KTR556. That sounds like it’s going to go out and kill shit. That’s not something that sounds like it sucks. Sounds more like it’s some Predator Murder Weapon. Now get rid of all the other versions, and only offer the one… The KTR556. The RFB. Take every RFB you finish, and send it to Crusader Weaponry in SLC. There, Crusader can do the permanent Slipstream Treatment to the internals of every single RFB before it ships to customers. Better yet, buy Crusader Weaponry, move them to Florida lock stock and barrel and have them turn the RFB up to 11. That’s it. Done. Don’t touch anything else, unless Crusader wants to Cerakote them. Which is a great idea and should be done. So do that. Okay, and now for the thing that is missing from your line up. The 5.56mm version of the RFB. Where is it? I’ve not seen that yet, and this is wrong. You need to fix this. The KSG. I completely fell in love with the KSG at SHOT Show when I saw it and handled it. And then some time later, I finally had the chance to shoot one. Oh I was looking forward to that so much… and then I stepped up to the firing line. Imagine lusting after Scarlett Johansson, and then you finally get to slow dance with her… and you find that she has the body odor and breath of a 3 week dead trout. I’m not a mechanical engineer, but that gun needs more work than an 84 Audi Fox running on only 2 cylinders. The main problem from what I’ve seen in the guns I’ve dealt with… Things are binding up inside. My suggestion for the RFB should also be applied to the KSG. The PF-9. Don’t touch it, it’s great. The P-11. Make it look like a double stack PF-9. The P-32. .32 Auto is useless. The only thing worse is the .25 Auto and the only thing worse than that, are the people who like .25 Auto. Change it to a .22 LR and call it the P-22. And make it look like a little PF-9. The P3AT. Make it look like a little PF-9. Okay, now that you’ve done that, rebuild them all into Striker Fired pistols because all of these triggers flat out suck. No, really. They do. They just do. Look, I love these little guns, seriously. But the triggers have been what has been holding these things back from being as awesome as they could be. The Double Action Only thing was fine for Kel-Tec, but for KT, it’s got to be next level. Knowing how you guys think outside of the box, I would be surprised if you didn’t already have a striker mechanism designed. Now, there is a hole in this line up. Where is the full sized, duty worthy, double stacked auto? A PD-9 and a PD-40. You guys are more than capable of bringing out something new that can run with the big dogs. Something wild and different. I’d be surprised if it didn’t look like something off of that Oblivion sci-fi movie. I bet you guys have something up your sleeves. Throw it down. If not, do it. Soon. Very soon. The PLR-16. Give it an A2 Grip, so people can swap that out for their favorites. The rest is good. Activate the Crusader Plan on these too, just for good measure. The .22LR version, consider the same things. Okay, now the for big one. The PMR-30. First off, why in Hades Underworld do you not have a .22LR version of this? Whatever you are doing, drop it, and make a .22LR version. While we’re at that, forget the 4.2” Barrel, and roll it out to a full 5”. For both versions. But especially for the Magnum. Anything people are doing with the PMR-30, they can do better with that extra inch of barrel and sight radius. .22 Mag will also gain a good advantage from the longer runway. Same with the .22LR. So just do that. The rear of the slide is just so incredibly hideous that it causes the same madness as prolonged exposure to Cthulhu, or Congress Woman Fredrica Wilson. It just hurts to look at and you can’t really tell how to fix it other than to just scrap the whole thing and make one that looks like… oh… I don’t know… A GUN. Browning has this figured out on the Buckmark pretty well. Regular ridges and it has two nice “ears” that really help in charging. The barrel on the PMR-30 is a hot mess… Beef it up to keep some weight on the muzzle end, help accuracy, and help with the thermal dynamics. Or, contract with Tactical Solutions out of Idaho to do your barrels. They make some seriously accurate, tac-driving barrel. But still, the PMR-30 needs some beef there. Not a lot, but more than it has. By about 100%. There is something about the polymers that you guys use that just look… like they are made from recycled AK Mags. I know the stuff is tough. I watched a P-11 take both axles of a Chevy 2500. It was my P-11 actually and it was on the back bumper when a helpful soul decided he was going to move my truck for me… He lurched forward, causing the gun to fall, and then backed over it. The gun was just fine. This was out in Utah Deserts at a super secret shooting location. Dirt, rocks, BFG A/T, didn’t even leave a mark. But it still looks lower level. Now the options are to change the polymers… which isn’t really necessary. Or coat the polymers. Which is a damn fine solution. Cerakote everything. Added Value. And add some profit. Cerakote the frames early on in a mass production method and there you go, cost effective and simple, and the guns are going to look so much better that everyone is going to want to shove one down their pants. This brings us to the last problem. Actually two problems. First is your Production Capability. You don’t have any. The PMR-30, RFB, KSG… People have been waiting to get them. You are not making them fast enough. Now, while you could expand your factory and hire more people and invest in production capability… It might be better to subcontract production to a company that has capacity. Even if just for bottle-neck causing parts. Or even whole frame assemblies or slides. Whatever you do, you have got to get your Production numbers up. And your Quality Control. Ramp those up. And Secondly – Your Distributor Only sales model. Oh, it’s easy to go D.O. But D.O. is a No Go for many Dealers who stock guns. Remember when I said that I wasn’t stocking them? I wasn’t because there was no margin in them. I’d order them for customers on request, but I made nothing on those sales. So I had no incentive to sell them. I had more incentive to nudge the customer to something I had on the shelf. Distributor Only works for Ruger because there is enough nationwide demand to drive those sales. Kel-Tec doesn’t have that. Let’s look at FN. I was a full line stocking FN dealer. We had everything from pistols to bolt action rifles, FS2000’s and PS-90’s… We had all of them and loved selling them. And then FNH decided to drop the Direct to Dealer business model and go Distributor Only. Essentially giving their Dealers the Middle Finger. We stopped ordering FN. And were soon out of FN. The only FN gun we had requests for was for the Five-seveN pistol, so we kept getting those in… when we could. But everything else… those nice Patrol Bolt Rifles… Sorry. We sold Remington Tacticals instead. At that point we were #4 in the State of Utah. A dealer of that magnitude dropping your line? Ouch. And we were not the only ones. FN took a shot to the nuts because of that. You open up to Direct to Dealer Sales and push those dealer incentives… Your sales will increase. Your profits on those sales will increase. Because there are no smarmy middlemen to take all the margins. Keep up the good work, KT. Keep pushing those new ideas. Keep being awesome. We love you guys and wish you balls to the walls success.

The acquisition will bring the team and technology from E8 in to Amazon’s existing Amazon Web Services center in Tel Aviv, per reports. E8 Storage’s particular focus was on building storage hardware that employs flash-based memory to deliver faster performance than competing offerings, according to its own claims. How exactly AWS intends to use the company’s talent or assets isn’t yet known, but it clearly lines up with their primary business. AWS acquisitions this year include TSO Logic, a Vancouver-based startup that optimizes data center workload operating efficiency, and Israel-based CloudEndure, which provides data recovery services in the event of a disaster.	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0096.json.gz/line248
__label__wiki	0.896164	0.896164	Cloudflare will stop service to 8chan, which CEO Matthew Prince describes as a ‘cesspool of hate’ – TechCrunch Website infrastructure and security services provider Cloudflare will stop providing service to 8chan, wrote Matthew Prince in a blog post, describing the site as a “cesspool of hate.” Service will be terminated as of midnight Pacific Time. “The rationale is simple: they have proven themselves to be lawless and that lawlessness has caused multiple tragic deaths,” wrote Prince. “Even if 8chan may not have violated the letter of the law in refusing to moderate their hate-filled community, they have created an environment that revels in violating its spirit.” The decision was made after the suspect in this weekend’s mass shooting at El Paso posted a lengthy racist and anti-immigration “manifesto” to 8chan almost immediately before the attack, which killed at least 20 people. Federal authorities are treating the shooting as an act of domestic terrorism and the Justice Department is also considering bringing federal hate crime and firearm charges, which both potentially carry the death penalty, against the shooter. 8chan was also used by the perpetrator in March’s terrorist attacks on two Christchurch, New Zealand mosques, as well as the suspect in the April shooting at a synagogue in Poway, California. “The El Paso shooter specifically referenced the Christchurch incident and appears to have been inspired by the largely unmoderated discussions on 8chan which glorified the previous massacre,” wrote Prince. “In a separate tragedy, the suspected killer in the Poway, California synagogue shooting also posted a hate-filled ‘open letter’ on 8chan. 8chan has repeatedly proven itself to be a cesspool of hate.” Before Cloudflare announced its decision to terminate service to 8chan, Prince spoke to reporters from The Guardian and The New York Times, telling The Guardian that he wanted to “kick 8chan off our network,” but also (in the later interview with The New York Times), expressed hesitation because terminating service may make it harder for law enforcement officials to access information on the site. Cloudflare CEO Matthew Prince says that his decision is not about free speech or making money. Instead, he says keeping 8chan within Cloudflare’s network facilitates monitoring of the site and cooperation with law enforcement. https://t.co/PVnnu6LFxM pic.twitter.com/4ffQ8AWLfC — Julia Carrie Wong (@juliacarriew) August 4, 2019 Update: I talked to Cloudflare CEO @eastdakota, who said he is undecided about whether or not to allow 8chan to continue using its DDOS protection service (which effectively allows the site to stay online) https://t.co/tewgBEqYeF pic.twitter.com/WkU1NYBm6g — Kevin Roose (@kevinroose) August 4, 2019 (8chan creator Fredrick Brennan, who intended the site to be a free speech alternative to message board 4chan but has now distanced himself from the site and its current owners, told The New York Times he now wants it to be shut down). In his blog post, Prince explained Cloudflare’s ultimate decision to cut service, writing that more than 19 million internet properties use Cloudflare’s services and the company “[did] not take this decision lightly.” “We reluctantly tolerate content that we find reprehensible, but we draw the line at platforms that have demonstrated they directly inspire tragic events and are lawless by design. 8chan has crossed that line,” he wrote.” It will therefore no longer be allowed to use our services.” This is not the first time Cloudflare has cut off service to a site for enabling the spread of racism and violence. Cloudflare previously terminated service to white supremacist site Daily Stormer in August 2017, but noted that the site went back online after switching to a Cloudflare competitor. “Today, the Daily Stormer is still available and still disgusting. They have bragged that they have more readers than ever. They are no longer Cloudflare’s problem, but they remain the Internet’s problem,” Prince wrote. Prince says he sees the situation with 8chan playing out in a similar way. Since terminating service to the Daily Stormer, Prince says Cloudflare has worked with law enforcement and civil society organizations, resulting in the company “cooperating around monitoring potential hate sites on our network and notifying law enforcement when there was content that contained a legal process to share information when we can hopefully prevent horrific acts of violence.” But Prince added that the company “continue[s] to feel incredibly uncomfortable about playing the role of content arbiter and do not plan to exercise it often,” adding that this is not “due to some conception of the United States’ First Amendment,” since Cloudflare is a private company (and most of its customers, and more than half of its revenue, are outside the United States). Instead, Cloudflare “will continue to engage with lawmakers around the world as they set the boundaries of what is acceptable in those countries through due process of law. And we will comply with those boundaries when and where they are set.” Cloudflare’s decision may increase scrutiny on Amazon, since 8chan’s operator Jim Watkins sells audiobooks on Amazon.com and Audible, creating what the Daily Beast refers to as “his financial lifeline to the outside world.”	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0096.json.gz/line249

The story of Dave, who comes up with a resourceful plan to replace his missing tooth, and Afiya, a very modern Tooth Fairy who uses a computer and longs for a new, preferably day- time, job, will be just as appealing 25 years on. The book has been re-illustrated and updated for a new generation of readers. The illustrations, by Welsh illustrator Carl Pearce, reflect the style of an animated film with characters brightly illuminated against blocks of deep background colour. The story has a satisfying outcome for all characters and this reprint of an old favourite is still a title to be recommended and enjoyed all these years later.

__label__cc	0.735035	0.264965	On the Road in Cameroon, 2008 This piece was written in 2008 and since then has languished on a hard disc. It has been rescued after turning up in a disk search for another file entirely, so has been converted to HTML and made available online for historical interest! Processed in Somié March 2016 Fieldwork Diary It was all going so well. My meetings in the capital had finished and I had managed to get out to the village for three nights. Once there I had been able to get much more done than I had dared hoped for and I had even managed to make some linguistic recordings for a colleague. The final task was to deliver a text book and a memory card to a PhD student 100 km to the north. This is not too far to travel even on the dirt roads of Adamaoua Province so we set off mid-morning. It all started with a noise and a vibration as if we were bouncing over not ordinary corrugations in the dirt road but specially deep ones. Then there was a bang from under the car and series of loud thumps. Dieddonné the driver stopped hurriedly. The drive shaft had broken (strictly, as I was told later, a joint had broken so the main shaft disconnected itself and fell off). We walked back along the road for several kilometres looking for fallen nuts in the dust but couldn't see any so we called for roadside assistance. This consists of flagging down the first motor bike or vehicle which passes and sending someone to the nearest town to return with a mechanic. It was Friday and the mechanic was at prayers so it was mid-afternoon before they returned. The mechanic was able to remove the loose connecting piece once he had flagged down another motorbike to borrow the correct spanner. Then we were able to engage four wheel drive and limp into Banyo using front wheel traction. I was dropped off to keep out of sight since my presence would increase the price, and Dieudonné took the car off to be repaired while I drank beer with the student and tried to help him with his research. I had hoped that that was my breakdown for this trip. All that remained was to go drinking with my Mambila friends and we had all of Saturday to get back to Yaoundé in time to meet a colleague flying in from the UK for my second meeting. So we set off at 630 am in order to get off the dirt road back onto tarmac before it started raining. But 10 km out of town the engine started racing, and producing clouds of black smoke. Worse, it wouldn't stop when Dieudonné turned off the ignition. We stopped he opened the bonnet and ripped out the battery cables and told us to run. The engine carried on racing. We grabbed the bags out of the back and waited, fearing the whole car would catch fire. Eventually it stopped. I still have no idea why. Once it had stopped we started scratching our heads about what caused it. We called for help by stopping the first motorbike and sending for help. When it returned with a mechanic he sorted us out incredibly quickly. It was either a broken piston or piston-ring (although how that could produce the racing we experienced is part of mechanical etiology which escapes me). He explained what to do if it recurred but said that we could get back to Yaounde . So having lost only an hour we set off again. Five minutes later we hit the cow. So here I am back back in bush taxis with plenty of time to think about what I've done and all the things I've not done. The taxi might go in 5 minutes or 2 hours, it is impossible to tell. There is no one who can say. I have learnt to enter an odd state of mind in which I try to sit and let the journey happen. The fear and discomfort are apiece with the scenery, random thoughts or childhood memories. Motorbikes often carry three or sometimes four people. What I had never seen before until today was another motorbike being held between the driver and the pillion passenger. As long as I continue I am making progress. The car is behind me so I have lost nothing. Yesterday a team of water engineers visited the village unannounced. They are going to bid for the contract to repair the water supply. So we had an entertaining time trying to explain the complexities (and the beautiful simplicity) of the gravity water system, and what the outstanding problems are. No sooner had they left than the forestry delegate arrived with his entourage which included the incredibly venial local forestry officer who wanted to be paid for his travel. I refused and later he didn't want to shake hands with me when they left. The Fulani, FulBe or Peulh are famous not only for the complexity of their nomenclature (I wont even start on the Pulho vs Mbororo distinction). Over the last millennia they have spread from the far west to the centre of Africa (crudely from Senegal to Chad) along the southern edge of Sahara. There is a not inconsiderable amount of work_ that has been done on different aspects of their life and culture.* Closely associated with pastoralism and cattle, one of the FulBe stereotypes (held by both them themselves and their neighbours) is of a nomad following their cows, going north with rains, and following the rain south in the dry months around New Year. Cows are also walked still further south to the major conurbations, to market. Roads make good droving tracks and it is not uncommon to drive round a bend and find a small herd being driven along the road by a couple of young lads who will walk their cows to market then ride a bus home before starting all over again. Some of these herders are paid in cattle; this is how a young man can get a break and establish his own herd. Of course, the nice wide roads or droving tracks leading to the conurbations tend to be busy with other road users and conflicts and accidents do occur but mercifully few. One Catholic missionary who worked with nomadic Fulbe spent a long time trying to persuade them to follow the highway code and walk on the 'other' side of the road. There was something wonderfully bizarre, old fashioned and completely ineffective about an aging white man telling professional herders how to drive their cattle. They habitually drive the cows on the right so that they are not facing the oncoming traffic. Except the roads are generally used as if they are single track: you drive where there are the fewest holes, and traffic is still sufficiently light that it is normal to drive in the middle of the road and then to pull over when a vehicle arrives in the opposite direction. All in all it doesn't seem very important or to matter on what side of the road the cows are driven. Come what may they will face some vehicles and not others. In our case they were facing us; there were just three cows and two herders. Not a herd at all, but a few stragglers. However, one cow behaved as if it were a chicken, and as we were passing it made a break from one side of the road to ours, it very nearly got across but caught our off side, breaking the radiator, horn and headlights as it did so. One herder fled with the cows the other produced his mobile phone to call the patron when the driver stopped him from running as well. In the end I left them waiting for the cattle owner, Mr Big, Monsieur le Patron. I had to get to town for the next morning so we flagged down a taxi bus which slowly got me southwards but not after itself being in an accident - overtaking it pulled in too sharply and clipped the truck it was overtaking. There followed another half hour of shouting as is customary before we continued. Eventually we got to the tarmac by dusk after a pause to catch up with one of my friends who I would not otherwise have seen when the taxi stopped for an hour in a small town on the way. I continued on to Bafoussam where there were people waiting for me hoping for a ride to town. Having disappointed them by traveling in taxis I got a night bus to Yaoundé, arriving soon after midnight. Everyone tells tales of how dangerous Yaoundé is at night especially around the taxi parks, I got straight into a legitimate taxi and get to the hotel safe and well albeit frazzled. As I write this I am about to leave for the airport. The car and most of my luggage is somewhere on the road limping towards Yaoundé. Coda. Yaoundé is full of roadworks to improve the arterial routes. Of course while these works are underway the traffic just gets worse. In the rainy season there is always congestion after a downpour when everyone who was waiting until it has passed tries to get going again. As my luck would have it, it turned out that Cameroon is hosting the regional gathering of Heads of State (CEMAC). So the evening I was booked to return to UK, four heads of states were flying in to Yaoundé airport (closing it to air traffic). The Hilton hotel was full of glamourous shapely women standing (svelte in red dresses with starched white shawls) for hours by a red carpet, waiting to applaud as a president walked by. I got a taxi to the airport in the early evening after rain had fallen. We got about half way to the airport when we struck gridlock. The main road to the airport was closed so all the side roads leading to it were blocked solid. Both plane and passengers arrived hours late. To my delight Dieddonné was waiting for me with my bags so I was able to sort out my baggage although the bags had got soaked. Since I had gone off in taxis he had had more breakdowns and then two tyres had burst near to Yaoundé. But he was there in one piece and unhurt. So we shook our heads and were thankful for what we had got away with. The cow owner had refused to fix the car, so he had used he petrol money I had left with him to braze the radiator and then the extra money I had sent enabled him to get home. No question of any being left. The important thing was that we were in one piece and back where we started. * An interesting example is Moiun Mbororo translated from the French by Phil Burnham (Bocquené, H., O. Ndoudi, P. Burnham & G. Gorder. 2002. Memoirs of a Mbororo: the life of Ndudi Umaru, Fulani nomad of Cameroon (Cameroon studies; v. 5. Oxford: Berghahn Books).	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0096.json.gz/line261

__label__cc	0.744408	0.255592	Black Ginger Extract Improves Erectile Dysfunction, Sexual Satisfaction, in New Pilot Study ORIGINAL ARTICLE: http :// www.nutritionaloutlook.com/ herbs-botanicals/ black-ginger-extract-improves-erectile-dysfunction-sexual-satisfaction-new-pilot-study Results from a new pilot study1 published in the Journal of Integrative Medicine indicate that a Kaempferia parviflora ethanol extract, KaempMax( Life Extension; Fort Lauderdale, FL ), may improve sex gratification and performance. In the study, KaempMax improved self-assessed sex health in middle-aged men experiencing mild erectile dysfunction. The study authors write that sex health correlateds with overall wellbeing. And, while there are existing drugs that purport to enhance male sexual health, like Viagra, many of those products may come with adverse side effect, or simply be ineffective for some men. They add that, increasingly, erectile dysfunction is also considered an early sign of cardiovascular cancer, and may even precede the development of adverse cardiovascular events like heart attacks. According to the researchers, various preparations of Kaempferia parviflora, a plant in the ginger household, have been shown to support cardiovascular health and potentially also improve erectile function. A 2012 study2 conducted in Thailand found that K. parviflora rhizome extract improved erectile reply in older men. With this in intellect, such studies writers sought to evaluate whether KaempMax could provide a safe and efficacious non-prescription alternative to more common drugs targeting menas sexual health. The primary endpoint of the current study was to determine KaempMaxas effect on erectile function, which was determined via the International Index of Erectile Function( IIEF ). The secondary aim of the study to decide subjectsa sexual satisfaction using the Global Assessment Questions( GAQ ). In the study, researchers supplemented 13 humen between the ages of 50-68 with 100 mg KaempMax for 30 days. Researchers assessed subjectsa sex health parameters once at baseline, and then at the end of the 30 -day study period. According to the authors, supplementation with KaempMax resulted in astatistically significant improvements in erectile function, intercourse satisfaction, and total scores on the IIEF questionnaire.a KaempMax was also be considered to be safe and well-tolerated. While the effects of KaempMax supplementation were encouraging, “theyre not” as pronounced as the findings from prescription drugs, say the researchers. However, most of the study participants reported being satisfied with the results. They add that additional, longer, and placebo-controlled clinical trials will be needed to more fully determine Kaemp Maxas efficacy for improving erectile dysfunction. Richard A. Stein, PhD, MD, and the studyas lead writer, commented on the results in a press release. aThis exciting new pilot examine lends support to traditional Asian medicinal uses of K. parviflora for male sexual function, a he told. aWe “re hoping that” these findings will spur larger trials exploring the potential of K. parviflora extracts to enhance menas sexuality lives.a Added Andrew Swick, PhD, senior vice president of product development, Life Extension: aResults from our study together with those previously published suggest that K. parviflora extract may benefit male sex health and offer an option for those trying nonprescription alternatives.a 1.

__label__cc	0.668333	0.331667	Spring Break inspiration From National Geographic: From National Geographic Sea of StarsPhotograph by Doug Perrine, Alamy Pinpricks of light on the shore seem to mirror stars above in an undated picture taken on Vaadhoo Island in the Maldives. The biological light, or bioluminescence, in the waves is the product of marine microbes called phytoplankton—and now scientists think they know how some of these life-forms create their brilliant blue glow. Various species of phytoplankton are known to bioluminesce, and their lights can be seen in oceans all around the world, said marine biologist and bioluminescence expert Woodland Hastings of Harvard University. (Also see"Glowing Sea Beasts: Photos Shed Light on Bioluminescence.") "I've been across the Atlantic and Pacific, and I've never seen a spot that wasn't bioluminescent or a night that [bioluminescence] couldn't be seen," Hastings said. The most common type of marine bioluminescence is generated by phytoplankton known as dinoflagellates. A recent study co-authored by Hastings has for the first time identified a special channel in the dinoflagellate cell membrane that responds to electrical signals—offering a potential mechanism for how the algae create their unique illumination. —Ker Than Equinox, Pollen and Science related Art In celebration of the first day of Spring, yesterday, and also to recognize the record setting pollen levels here, I am posting a picture and BBC report on Chilean artist's installation at Somerset House UK, Out of Sync. From the BBC World Service An art installation made up of 10,000 handmade clay flowers has been unveiled at Somerset House in London. Out of Sync, by Chilean artist Fernando Casasempere, marks the start of the venue's new programme of events. Casasempere individually made each flower, ensuring no one bloom is the same. Somerset House said the artist "hopes to give an impression of conformity and yet show how we are always able to spot subtle differences in repeated images". Casasempere is best known for his clay sculptures and brought twelve tonnes of his own clay with him when he moved from Chile to London in 1997. Somerset House said he "regularly pushes the boundaries of the discipline by experimenting with different mixtures and materials". It is hoped the free display will "remind visitors of the wonder and accuracy of nature's clock in our ever changing man-made environment".http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-17399137 For those in midst of pollen induced sneezing fits with the record pollen count, an interactive explanation for what happens during a sneeze courtesy of the Washington Post.http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/health/interactives/cold/ Hey Ms K where are the muscles?

Its core initiatives include the globally recognized Montblanc Arts Patronage Award and the Montblanc Art Collection. In 2016, Sam Bardaouil and Till Fellrath were appointed as Chairmen and have since been leading the Foundation’s new strategic direction. Montblanc Arts Patronage Award The Montblanc Arts Patronage Award has to date honored close to 300 patrons in 25 countries and contributed around 5 million Euros towards the awarded organizations. Over the past years, the Foundation has expanded its geographic reach by recognizing patrons in South America, South Asia and the Middle East. The award acknowledges the essential role that patrons play in supporting the arts where it is most needed. It seeks to spotlight the patron’s organizations publicly, and to inspire others to follow their example. The recipients are nominated each year by an extensive network of 50 established cultural figures from around the world, and the final selection is made during the annual meeting of the Foundation’s Board and its Curatorium. Montblanc Art Collection Since 2002, the Foundation has supported more than 170 artists to produce new artworks for the Montblanc Art Collection through its Artist Commission Program. The Foundation enables young and emerging artists to produce new works within the context of a temporary exhibition, a biennale, or an art festival. It is geographically inclusive and open to all forms of contemporary artistic practices. Projects are nominated internally and connect to themes that are of relevance to the Foundation. The collection includes many artists who went on to become internationally renowned figures such as John Armleder, Monica Bonvicini, José León Cerillo, Thomas Demand, Hans-Peter Feldmann, Sylvie Fleury, Liam Gillick, Gary Hume, Fang Lijun, Thomas Ruff, Tom Sachs, Chiharu Shiota, Thomas Schütte, Cerith Wyn Evans, and Heimo Zobernig. Most recently, the Montblanc Cultural Foundation supported the work of ruby onyinyechi amanze as part of the 33rd Bienal de São Paulo, Mercedes Dorame’s as part of the Hammer Museum’s Made in L.A. exhibition, Emmanuelle Lainé at the Hayward Gallery’ HENI Project Space, and of Katherine Nuñez and Issay Rodriguez at the 57th International Art Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia. Curatorium In 2017 the Foundation established its Curatorium, an international advisory board to strengthen the Foundation’s global network. The Curatorium and the Chairmen jointly decide each year on the recipients of the Foundation’s Arts Patronage Award, as well as the Montblanc Art Commissions. The members of the Curatorium are invited on a rotational basis. Its current members are Anne Barlow (Director, Tate St. Ives), Sunjung Kim (Director, Gwangju Biennale), Jean de Loisy (President, Palais de Tokyo), Franklin Sirmans (Director, Perez Art Museum), and Jochen Volz (Director, Pinacoteca do Estado de São Paolo).

__label__cc	0.676428	0.323572	EHX Electro Harmonix Little Big Muff Pi Distortion Fuzz Sustainer Guitar Pedal Electro Harmonix Little Big Muff Pi Guitar Effects Pedal. ELECTRO HARMONIX LITTLE BIG MUFF PI DISTORTION SUSTAINER GUITAR EFFECTS PEDAL. Introducing the Little Big Muff pedal from Electro Harmonix. Back in 1968, guitar amps were intentionally engineered to keep players from experimenting with distorted sounds. Electro Harmonix changed all that. For 40 years Electro Harmonix have been proud to contribute to many of the most famous recordings in music history. Our circuits won't ever constrain the color of your sound; rather, they give you the freedom to find it. Little Big Muff Pi Distortion/Sustainer Same silky smooth violin-like sustain and creamy tone that made the legendary 1970 Big Muff Pi famous. This little brother displays its heritage proudly. Same circuitry in a compact die-cast box. Quick Specs This pedal is the finest harmonic distortion-sustain device developed to date for the electric guitar player, now in a compact pedal. The Little Big Muff Pi is identical to our Big Muff Pi but smaller. We took the classic Big Muff circuit and simply shrunk it without any change to the sweet violin-like sustaining sound. It's the same legendary sound created by Jimi Hendrix. Tough and compact die-cast chassis. Dimensions in mm: 102 (w) x 121 (l) x 89 (h).

__label__wiki	0.90937	0.90937	Photo: Christopher Harting MIT announces updates on fact-finding and reviews of external engagements Efforts also advance to protect whistleblowers, identify charity to benefit survivors of sexual abuse. Steve Bradt \| MIT News Office Kimberly Allen Email: allenkc@mit.edu Members of MIT’s senior leadership have announced progress in a variety of areas related to ongoing reviews of the Institute’s funding and external engagements. The new information comes as President L. Rafael Reif wrote to the MIT community today to share key learnings from recent community forums and meetings. “Over the past two months, in large public forums, in smaller private meetings and through hundreds of emails and comment cards, I have heard the unfiltered views of many students, staff, postdocs, faculty, trustees, parents and alumni,” Reif wrote. “Some of this feedback has been very difficult to hear — difficult, but necessary. Much of it must have taken great courage to deliver. All of it has been illuminating and helpful.” The forums were part of the Institute’s response to the emergence in recent months of information on Jeffrey Epstein’s links to MIT. Additional developments include: Fact-finding continues Goodwin Procter, the law firm retained to conduct fact-finding on the Institute’s engagements with Epstein, has informed the Executive Committee of the MIT Corporation that its work in conducting interviews and reviewing documents is nearly complete, and that it is preparing a report on its findings. Once the Executive Committee has had the opportunity to review and discuss the results of Goodwin Procter’s fact-finding, it will write to the full community. Two committees launch Faculty Chair Rick Danheiser and Provost Martin Schmidt recently launched two committees — one to define a set of values and principles to guide the assessment of outside engagements, and the other to review and recommend improvements to MIT’s processes on soliciting and accepting gifts. The first of these, the Ad Hoc Faculty Committee on Guidelines for Outside Engagements, will be chaired by Tavneet Suri, an associate professor of applied economics at the MIT Sloan School of Management. Its members are listed here. A second committee, the Ad Hoc Committee to Review MIT Gift Processes, will be chaired by Peter Fisher, professor of physics and head of the Department of Physics. The membership of this committee was announced today: Mariana Arcaya: Associate Professor of Urban Studies and Planning Mahi Elango: Undergraduate in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science; President, Undergraduate Association Heather Kispert Hagerty: Assistant Dean for Development, School of Engineering Daniel Hastings: Cecil and Ida Green Professor; Head, Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics Sarah Hendrick: Director of Records, MIT Alumni Association J.

This effort will also aim to ensure that these protections and policies are well-understood across MIT. Community committee to advise on a charity In an Aug. 22 letter, President Reif informed the community that MIT had received approximately $800,000 in Epstein funding and committed that the Institute would contribute an equal amount to a charity benefiting survivors of sexual abuse. MIT has now identified the mechanism by which that charity will be selected: Recommendations will come from MIT’s Committee on Sexual Misconduct Prevention and Response (CSMPR), which has broad representation from across the community, including the Violence Prevention and Response office. Led by Leslie Kolodziejski, professor of electrical engineering and computer science, CSMPR is composed of 29 students, staff, and faculty. It will advise President Reif on MIT’s donation. Outcomes from two staff forums Several teams will follow up on ideas surfaced during two staff forums earlier this month. Vice President for Human Resources Ramona Allen will convene a group of staff from across campus to bring forward employees’ ideas and channel their commitment and perspectives. To capture as many voices as possible going forward, she and Executive Vice President and Treasurer Israel Ruiz are also evaluating options such as office hours, facilitated group discussions, and mechanisms to submit comments anonymously. In a forum for postdocs and research staff, those employees expressed feelings of isolation and the lack of any unifying home at MIT; Vice President for Research Maria Zuber is organizing a group now to begin to fill that need.

Infielder Jose Iglesias (pictured) is headed to the Detroit Tigers, and the Chicago White Sox will receive three minor leaguers from the Red Sox: infielder Cleuluis Rondon and pitchers Francellis "Frank" Montas and Jeffrey "JB" Wendelken. To complete the deal, Detroit is sending outfielder Avisail Garcia to Chicago. In dealing two middle infielders and two right-handed pitchers, the Red Sox took advantage of two of the deeper positions in their farm system to trade up for pitching. - Iglesias, the most known Red Sox commodity in the deal, is the only player above A-Ball that the Red Sox included. Since he entered the system, the 23-year-old has been known for his defensive prowess, which grades out as an 80 on the 20-80 scouting scale. Iglesias has soft hands, fluid actions, and excellent instincts. He really understands how to play the position, taking excellent angles, and combines all that with a plus arm. The question with Iglesias has always been whether he would hit enough for the defensive tools to play. He has plus bat speed and a compact swing, but has always had major issues with pitch recognition, especially identifying breaking balls, and an immature approach. His power potential is also limited due to his smallish frame and arm-heavy swing. In the past he has shown a reluctance to take pitches, often resulting in him putting the ball in play with weak contact against pitcher’s pitches. This season, Iglesias was putting together better at-bats, and at the major league level the results were evident. At the time of the trade, he was hitting .330/.376/.409 which is solid on its surface, but he has struggled mightily in recent weeks, including going 5 for 35 without a walk or extra base hit since the All-Star break. Even if those numbers continue to regress, Iglesias will still be an extremely valuable player due to his elite defensive ability, but with Xander Bogaerts knocking on the door, along with Will Middlebrooks and Garin Cecchini at third base, the Red Sox could comfortably deal him and know they had other internal options now and in the future. - Of the three minor-league prospects in the deal, 20-year-old right-handed pitcher Francellis Montas is the one with the most upside. Montas is listed at 6-foot-2 and 185-pounds, but is considerably bigger than that, having filled out his frame especially in the lower body, since entering the system. He has struggled this season, with a 2-9 record and 5.70 ERA for the Low A Greenville Drive, however those numbers don’t reflect his ability. Montas throws from a ¾ arm slot and has an extremely live arm. His delivery isn’t the cleanest, he throws with a decent amount of effort and he has below-average command, especially of his fastball. The fastball is his best pitch though, sitting in the mid-to-high 90’s consistently and touching 100 mph. When he finishes his delivery the pitch shows late downward life, but it can flatten out at times. He has trouble holding velocity, something Senior Columnist Jon Meoli noticed after watching him in Spring Training. The primary secondary offering for Montas is a mid-80s slider, but the pitch is inconsistent. It tends to lack depth and tilt, but on occasion, especially when thrown harder, it shows tight rotation and the potential to be a solid complement to his fastball. He also mixes in an 86-88 mph changeup that grades as well below average right now. Montas has shown the ability to miss bats, striking out 96 in 85 1/3 innings this season. At this point, however, he gets by mostly with his well-above-average-to-elite velocity, rather than understanding how to pitch and use his complete arsenal. While currently a starter, Montas is likely best suited for a bullpen role where he could rely on his fastball and get away with not having pinpoint command or multiple secondary offerings. - Jeffrey Wendelken lacks the pure stuff of Montas, but his results in 2013 have been superior. Taken in the 13th round in the 2012 draft out of Middle Georgia College — the same school as former-Red Sox and current-A's outfielder Josh Reddick — the 20-year-old has been excellent since joining the Red Sox organization. In his 2012 debut in the Gulf Coast League, Wendelken had a 1.27 ERA and 0.656 WHIP, striking out 28 and walking only three in 21 1/3 innings. Placed in Greenville for 2013, the right-hander has continued to excel, earning South Atlantic League All-Star recognition. In 27 appearances out of the Drive bullpen, he has a 2-0 record with a 2.77 ERA, striking out 54 and walking 20 in 65 innings. Wendelken is a stocky, filled-out right-hander. He has decent mechanics with some arm whip in his finish. He fastball sits in the low 90s, topping out at 95 mph. The pitch has late life and Wendelken does a good job hiding the ball in his delivery. During the Fall Instructional league he showed off two secondary pitches, a curveball and changeup, with the curveball being the more advanced of the two. He threw his 11-5 curveball 74-75 mph, and when he snapped off the pitch it showed depth and tight rotation. His mid-80s changeup lagged behind, as it was inconsistent, and tended to float to the plate with little movement. Wendelken doesn’t offer much projection, profiling as a potential middle reliever. - The youngest player included in the deal, Cleuluis Rondon, has been in Lowell, where he has complied a triple slash line of .276/.326/.350. Listed at 6-foot and only 160 pounds, Rondon is athletic with a projectable frame and the defensive ability to stay up the middle. Signed as a shortstop out of Venezuela in November 2010 by scout Angel Escobar, Rondon has seen most of his 2013 action at second base with the Lowell Spinners. That is more a result of Tzu-Wei Lin’s presence on the roster, rather than a reflection of Rondon’s defensive ability; in most years he would be the primary shortstop for the Spinners. At the plate, Rondon is a switch hitter who has shown solid bat speed, especially from the left side where he starts open before closing down on approach. His hands work well and he has fluidity in his swing. He has shown the willingness to use all fields in the past and some gap power. From the right side, Rondon’s swing can get a little long and his bat can tend to drag. His pitch recognition skills are still rough and he is just starting to develop some semblance of an approach. His present power is well below average and he doesn’t project to hit for much in the future, but he has shown the ability to drive the ball out on occasion in batting practice. Going forward, Rondon’s physical development will be key as he will need to add strength in order to succeed against more advanced pitching. He is a lottery ticket of sorts, but has some tools that could play in a utility role at the major league level.

__label__cc	0.699437	0.300563	PennyStockProphet - UBIQ - 26-Cent Tech Pick Could Soar on 8.5M In... May 09, 2016 16:56 Promoter: Penny Stock Prophet Paying Party: Microcap Innovations UBIQ $10000 UNKNOWN PSP Free Members, Congrats on our most recent pick IMSC, which is now up over 125% from our alert price of .33 cents last month. We have another potential “DOUBLE” on our radar that I want to alert all members to immediately. After a recent consolidation period, I believe this tech play is about to stage another furious rally over the next couple of days. You should know that the very first time I alerted members of this pick it absolutely soared over 197 percent in just 3 trading sessions. This ticker is no stranger to staggering short-term moves, and due to a key technical setup now forming; I believe the next few days could be absolutely incredible for traders. Several upcoming events could act as a catalyst for a major breakout-move in the short-term. In fact, we could be looking at the early stages of a triple bottom reversal pattern. Because of this… I Am Issuing An Immediate Alert For Ubiquity Inc. (UBIQ)! UBIQ is an emerging technology company focused on delivering the next generation IP based content and services for mobile, tablet, and professional and lifestyle screens. It’s no secret that there is huge value in capturing more traffic and consumer data, as evidenced by the various acquisitions of high traffic content publishers by established tech giants like Google and Yahoo in order to do just that. After reaching a high of 41-cents in late February UBIQ is already establishing a base and moving higher off a recent low of 24-cents. Momentum appears to be swinging back towards those previous highs, and a strong reversal pattern is taking shape. UBIQ has been a momentum monster and when it sees reversal setups it doesn’t take much to move the needle. Last time I identified this exact same pattern UBIQ gained nearly 200%+ for members! I am urging all members to begin your research as soon as possible, and be ready for UBIQ on Tuesday! New Pick Ubiquity Inc. UBIQ Chart Currently Trading: .26 UBIQ licensee steps up commitment to the company's Sprocket platform & Secures 8.5M In Funding Last March, UBIQ announced that its licensee, iWebGate Limited announced it is in the final process of securing additional financing to continue its development, reach, and sales of the Sprocket enhanced iWebgate cyber security platform. The Sprocket OS navigational tool and intelligent search in iWebGate's proprietary secure container technology, solves major problems for enterprise and government agencies and customers of all sizes by providing the scalability needed, a Mar. 10 press release stated. "We are pleased that our partner, which is distributing Sprocket to Telstra, Australia's largest telecommunications company, and others, is receiving additional funding to expand all of its customer relationships," said UBIQ's CEO Chris Carmichael in the Mar. 10 press release. "Our partnership with iWebGate is going strong and moving forward, we are expecting to enter other markets with them as well." On March 14, UBIQ announced that iWebGate Limited secured additional funding of $8.57M to accelerate customer growth. iWebGate's new funding "will benefit the Ubiquity-iWebGate partnership, which has already successfully begun to include Sprocket through its secure mobile containers to 800,000 users," a Mar. 14 press release stated. UBIQ is committed to "mobile as a service," and the partnership with iWebGate helps bring those solutions to life. "We will be utilizing the additional support to expand our customer base to include government, enterprise and small business customers, as well as the successful work we are doing with Ubiquity to serve the telecommunications industry," said iWebGate's CEO Tim Gooch in the Mar. 14 press release. UBIQ Technical Indicators: The potential for UBIQ looks tantalizing considering it appears to be in the early phases of a triple-bottom reversal pattern. Rallying earlier in the year to a February high of 0.41 per share, UBIQ saw a slight downtrend before finding support at just above the 0.24 level; where it now appears to have put in a base and looks ready for a major move higher in the sessions ahead. Should UBIQ continue to make its way up towards recent resistance levels, it could begin a new ‘leg up’ that could result in a major breakout-run back up towards its historic highs. Already in the early phases of an uptrend, with the 7 Day Average Directional Indicator signaling a “buy”-action, UBIQ could be in for a significant advance in the very near term. With its extensive IP portfolio, content production resources, and software development expertise, UBIQ is positioned to deliver an exciting new class of services that blends the richness of TV with the relevance of the Internet. With bullish technical patterns supporting a potential advance, UBIQ could be on the verge of a major breakout-rally very soon. I am urging all members to begin your research immediately and keep a close eye on UBIQ throughout this coming week. Happy Trading!

A Christmas collage of shop windows in Ashton Christmas in Ashton - part one I attended the carol service and switching on of the Ashton Christmas tree which was very festive despite the weather. Congratulations to those who organised it and to the Trinity Girls Band who played on despite the cold. And thank you to Ethel for the cup of tea CP Lee - a message for J CP Lee was a member of Jacko Ogg and the Head People until they split up in 1967. He then formed Greasy Bear named after two songs by Jefferson Airplane, Greasy Heart and Bear Melt.In their time they supported Country Joe and the Fish, and the Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band.Their drummer was Bruce Mitchell Ashton and Bryn township forum At last night's meeting of the Ashton Bryn township forum I was elected chair of the forum. I have held this position before when the forum was first created until I lost my seat in the 2004 local elections. It was a bit of a surprise to be re-elected. One of the main concerns about the forum has always been that local residents do not know what it does and who sits on it and why they are there. I would be grateful if my readers - yes they are now officially plural - could contact me to answer this question ' Do you know what the township forum does?' I have also devised a poll at the side of this blog that you can take part in. Apologies to the person who has voted - there seems to be a problem with the poll. Please could you vote again. Once again at this time of year local Councillors were asked to judge the best dressed window at Christmas time in Ashton town centre. This year many more local shops had decorated their windows and the standard was much higher than the previous year. After a lot of deliberation we decided to award the prize to Jackie Gordon of Fleur and Flair in Garswood Street for her excellent window display. Pictured is the prize winning window display and Jacky with her certificate. Congratulations to Jackie and thanks to Emma Gaster from Wigan Council who arranged the competition. Innuendo lies and hypocrisy One of the things a Councillor has to put up with is being criticised for what he has done (or not) by members of the public or opposition politicians. This comes with the territory and personally I enjoy debate as long as it is based on fact. However, when opposition politicians use false insinuation to attack you it is a different ball game and I for one am not prepared to let it pass. In October I had an article published in the Wigan Evening Post about whether Councillors should fund dead Christmas trees as opposed to live ones from their Brighter Borough funding. The paper then asked for people's opinion through their Wigantoday website. One of the few respondents to the website was Leader of the official opposition in Wigan Council, Councillor Peter Franzen who wrote the following: ‘What hypocrisy. At least the Christmas festivities bring benefit and enjoyment to the people of Wigan. Unlike the freebies goiven out ad nauseum to Wigans New Labour Councillors. Just how much was spent on Councillor Ash's trip to New York and for what purpose and for whose benefit?’ This came as a great surprise to me because I have never been on an all expenses Council trip to America. There is no reason why I should. I suspect it would have come as a great surprise to both the leader of the Council and the Chief Executive because as far as I know Wigan Council has no official links with America. I complained to the Wigan Evening Post about the comments and they withdrew the posting by Councillor Franzen almost immediately stating that the report was unsuitable. Now when something like this happens a Councillor has various options. He could ask for an apology. He could go to the Standards Board of England to lodge an official complaint or he could seek legal advice with a view to suing. I decided that an apology would be sufficient so I e-mailed Councillor Franzen on two separate occasions asking for an apology. As yet I have received no apology and he has asked me to stop e-mailing him on this matter. This case also highlights another issue. Recently Wigan Council has been in the press for being the most complained about Council because of the number of complaints that the Standards Board have received from local Councillors about other Councillors. I did not want to add to the list. And finally on the 31st October 2007 Councillor Franzen submitted a resolution to Council asking Wigan Council to put its house in order in view of the Standards Board's call to clean up politics in Wigan. He goes on to ask the Leader of the Council to cease the campaign of lies, abuse and smears against opposition Councillors. Well,I would suggest that Councillor Franzen should start by putting his own house in order before he calls upon others to do so. Another confirmed reader Last Saturday I met another person who confirmed to me that he read my blog regularly. I am so happy because this has doubled my readership. So hello J from Bryn - and thanks for the party. Seagulls acrobatic gymnastic club Last night I attended the Seagulls gymnastic club's Christmas display on behalf of Ian McCartney. The display was outstanding and at times breathtaking. It is so good to see so many young people of all ages taking part in something so positive and which gives so much enjoyment to other people. It is a nice counter balance to all the nasty things that you see in the media about youth today. To reach the standard I saw yesterday takes a lot of very hard work and practice. This was summarized by a slogan on the wall of the club which said in large letters something like 'If you don't want to try hard, go home' Congratulations to all concerned and especially to Jonathan Finch who was voted gymnast of the year at a North West dinner last Sunday. Result of the Christmas Poll The results of the Christmas poll are as follows: 70 people took part. Of the 70, 74% voted for less money being spent last year, 11% voted for more money being spent than last year and 10% the same amount. One Year Old - and a bit I started this blog on 24th November 2006. In that time I have received 4776 hits. Apart from in this country my very intersting articles have been read as far away as China, Africa and the west coast of the USA. Oh and I forgot, Warrington. The topics have ranged from the ruddy duck to rebuilt walls, clean ups, leaves with spots, completion of sewer works, my grandson, dog bins on Ashton Heath, recycling plastic bottles, Japanese knotweed and new bus stops. Who says that blogs are boring. I would like to thank my reader for sticking with this blog. I am always looking to improve the quality of the reading material so I would welcome any suggestions you have to make it even more interesting A CENTURY OF BLOGS According to my computer that last posting was the hundredth since I began this blog. And this is the hundred and first. I would like to thank my reader for sticking with this blog for so long. Ashton town centre - Gerard Street The second phase of improving the town centre is now in progress. At the moment residents and shop owners from 7 to 19 Gerard Street are being consulted about their views regarding pedestrianising the area where at the moment cars are parking. In the past the Council have received a large number rof personal accident claims from people who have fallen over in this area but because the ownership of the land has been in question it has been difficult to see a way of resolving the problem. In short nobody claims to own the land. It is, therefore,Wigan Council's intention to proceed with the scheme to pedestrianise the area. Once the scheme has been completed the Council will adopt the area and will become responsible for its future maintenance. Naturally in light of this the Council would not allow cars or other vehicles to park on the pavements. It is the Council's intention to programme the work for early next year as long as there are no legal reasons that the scheme cannot go ahead. Danger wall made safe One of the ways that the Brighter Borough funding can be spent is to help local groups improve the environment. I was recently asked by St. Oswald's Catholic and Social Club to help fund the re-building of the wall that runs along the footpath running from Liverpool Road to Old Road. Members of the club were so fed up of the state of the wall that they decided to repair it themselves. They held various events to help fund the repair and I was very happy to give a grant to the club towards the cost of the repair. As you can see from the photo the building work is coming on well and should be finished soon. At today's Environment Panel meeting I made a request that a retail area such as Ashton could be designated a plastic bag free zone. I have done some research on this matter and found the following facts: 1. On average we use each plastic bag for 12 minutes 2. Each one of us uses 290 plastic bags a year 3 This means that there are 13 billion bags in circulation every year 4. Bags comprise take up 11% of landfill I also think that they are a major contributor to our litter problem. So with all this in mind I asked Martin Kimber environment boss to work with me and retail outlets in Ashton to see if they are willing to reduce the number of plastic bags they distribute every year and possibly to find alternatives. What do you think? Do you like the plastic bag or do you think we use too many and need to reduce their use? Welcome to Stubshaw Cross At the Stubshaw Cross residents meeting I was asked if it would be possible to have a sign welcoming people to Stubshaw Cross. I have asked the Engineering Department of Wigan Council to look into this and will report their answer when I receive it. Mobile Library Service Review The Wigan Library Service is currently undertaking a review of its Mobile Library Service - the first for 20 years.Unfortunately,although highly valued by customers, it is currently suffering from declining issues, ageing vehicles and the effects of demographic changes. The aim of the review is to promote participation and widen access to the service by providing a flexible, quality and customer focused Mobile Library Service which will meet the need of local Wigan communities in the 21st century. The Library intend to identify new stops and routes while continuing to consult with communities and customers.It is hoped to update the service on the 14th January 2008. If you use the service or know anyone who does and wish to take part in the consultation please contact me and I will pass on your comments. Ashton Library - a success story I have received this week the latest figures for people using Ashton library. Over the last three months that figures are available for the total number of visitors has nearly doubled. So since 2006 when the Library was re-vamped by Wigan Culture and Leisure Trust to provide up to date facilities for local residents local people have been attracted to it in increasing numbers. The re-vamp included : A new children’s library Special provision for teenagers Improved internet access through a brand new IT suite The opening hours were also been extended to include Sunday opening which has proved very popular with families. If you need to contact the library to see what they have on offer then you can phone them on 727119 e-mail Ashton.Library@wlct.org or go the website on www.wlct.org./Libraries/ashton.htm Last Sunday I attended the Remembrance Day march from the cenotaph on Wigan Road to St Thomas church for the service. Every year when I attend Remembrance Sunday I always consider myself to be very fortunate because I never had to fight in a war. Certainly during my lifetime there have been wars but conscription had been abolished by the time that I was old enough to fight and I was never the military type in my youth Compare my non experience of war with my father in law - pictured in this blog. In 1939 he was in the Territorial Army and was called up into the regular army. He was evacuated from Dunkirk and then was shipped off to the Far East where he was captured by the Japanese in Singapore(some people have all the luck.) He spent three and a half years working under the Japanese including on the Burma railway. Remarkably he survived,returned to Blackpool,got a job as a bus driver and brought up three children. Of course many of his friends did not survive. As I get older I realise more and more how important is to have Remembrance Sunday and to pay our respects to the many brave men like my father in law and the millions of others who did not survive fighting for our country. A family is a place where minds come in contact with one another. If these minds love one another the home will be as beautiful as a flower garden. But if these minds get out of harmony with one another it is like a storm that plays havoc with the garden. - Buddha Stubshaw Cross Residents Group Last week members of the Stubshaw Cross Residents group gave up a considerable amount of their time cleaning up the waste land behind Barton's off licence - the results can be seen in the photo. Wigan Council cleansing department played a part in this successful operation by coming quickly to the area and removing the considerable amount of rubbish cleared by the residents. In addition to the work done to improve the area the residents group also planted daffodils on this land. I will take a photo of the results in spring Things you learn On Thursday I took part in a tour of Jubilee Park with the Friends of Jubilee Park led by an arboriculturist who pointed out the different types of trees in the park and their characteristics. The Friends of Jubilee Park are aiming to create paths around the park with the help of the arboriculturist highlighting the different trees there. One thing I did learn was that the black spots on the sycamore leaf - see picture - would not have occurred when the air was dirtier in previous centuries because the sulphur that was present in those days would have eradicated the spots. So because the air today is much cleaner the sycamore leaves are full of black spots. Fascinating isn't it? The Town Green project Last Friday I was one of the invited guests to watch Ian McCartney plant a living Christmas tree on Town Green. Children from St. Thomas CE primary school and representatives of the Rock FM bus were also there to witness the event. Ann Rampling, one of the leaders of the group, is hoping to ask children from St Thomas's to decorate the tree using designs that they have ceated themselves. The Wigan Evening Post published an article on Tuesday about my views on spending money for Christmas trees and calling for a public debate. In brief I am asking local residents to tell me what they think of spending £1600 of Brighter Borough money - which is public money - on a Christmas tree for the middle of Ashton which will only last for four weeks. I personally would be happier spending money on living trees for example the one in Town Green which was planted by Ian McCartney - see picture. I have asked for people's views on this subject and I welcome any comments the reader of this blog may have. Clean up and the spare land on Bolton Road As part of the Labour Party's clean up campaign we spent last Saturday morning cleaning up the spare land on Bolton Road between near Stubshaw Cross Labour Club. In all we collected something like 26 bags of rubbish. The picture shows the entrance to what was (I think) a garden which became a lot clearer after our clean up. This land was the subject of an earlier blog about the efforts of the Stubshaw Cross residents association to find out who owned the land so that they could begin to improve it. Well, I believe the group has received some good news recently - the owners of the land have given permission for improvement work to be done on the land.Let's hope that work can now begin to restore this area. Ashton Festival Last week I attended two excellent events in the Ashton festival. On Thursday night I went to the Brian Boru club where Helen and I really enjoyed the music and especially the Irish 'orchestra' and on Friday I went to see the exhibition of gymnastics/acrobatics put on by the Seagull Club. As someone who finds it difficult these days to bend down to tie up his shoes I was really impressed by the athleticism and suppleness of the participants in the exhibition - some of their acrobatics were breathtaking. I would like to put on record my thanks to Jack Sudworth and his team for organising another successful festival. Multi million pound project celebrated The picture in this article is of Ian McCartney,Ann Rampling, myself, members of the Ashton sewer flood forum and representatives of United Utilities celebrating the end of the scheme to improve the sewer system in Ashton Engineers have spent the past 18 months upgrading the sewer network to try and prevent a repeat of the flooding which hit parts of the town five years ago after exceptionally heavy rainfall. Ian McCartney and United Utilities worked closely together to lobby the water industry regulator Ofwat for funding to carry out improvements. Residents also played a big role in getting the work underway and regular meetings were held with the Makerfield Sewer Flooding Forum to keep them up to date with developments. Ian McCartney, MP for Makerfield, said: “ I take great satisfaction that this project has finally been completed. I saw at first hand the devastation and misery that the flooding of 2002 brought to local people’s lives and I was determined then to bring about massive improvements to the sewer system. Together with local residents I have worked hard to ensure that United Utilities made the necessary investment to upgrade the sewer system so that local people should not have to experience the misery caused by the flooding five years ago. The culmination of that work can be seen today with the completion of this scheme. This is a very good day for Ashton. ‘ Charlie Cornish, United Utilities managing director, said: “We’re delighted that this work in Ashton has been completed and dozens of families should never again have to face the awful experience of sewer flooding. “Preventing sewer flooding is a major challenge for United Utilities. We’ve spent millions of pounds on stopping flooding in recent years and want to spend even more in the future. “ The Ashton sewer improvements were designed to take into account proposed new developments, the impact of commercial premises and the physical geography of the area. United Utilities has made tackling sewer flooding a priority and is spending £140 million from 2005-2010 across the North West. In the photo is the latest welcome addition to the family - Michael, son of Andrew and Emma.This means I am now a grandfather. I personally think I am much too young to be called grandad - but others disagree. At three days old Michael has already joined the Labour Party and is a Liverpool season ticket holder. As you can see from the photo he is blissfully unaware of having taken these these major steps in his life. Another thought One day you are 17 years old doing what 17 year olds do and the next minute you are a grandfather with the mind of a 17 year old. I must stop reading these books. We imagine that waking-life is real and that dream-life is unreal, but there does not seem to be any evidence for this belief. Chuang Tzu, in the third century B.C., put it in an amusing way; having dreamed that he was a butterfly flitting from flower to flower, he stated that he was now wondering whether he was then a man dreaming he was a butterfly or whether he was now a butterfly dreaming he was a man. - Wei Wu Wei "Fingers Pointing Toward the Moon" Beat it Team The Beat it team will be coming to Ashton between 15th and 19th October. If you know of any area that needs tidying up please contact me. Zebra Crossing on Bolton Road Following complaints about the crossing on Bolton Road the local Labour Party organised a petition asking for the crossing to be upgraded. People's concerns were that because it is in a dip motorists are not aware of it and at night it is poorly lit. Over 300 people signed the petition which was handed to me by Ann Rampling - see picture. This week I will be presenting the petition to the Ashton and Bryn township forum and the Council's Environment Panel for consideration. Litter pick - Hilton Street area The members of the local Labour Party carried out a litter pick last Saturday morning in the Hilton Street area. It is part of an on going scheme to keep rid certain areas of Ashton of litter. We intend to do more litter picks around Ashton over the coming weekends. If you would like to help us or you know of an area that needs cleaning please contact me on 07981509709 or e-mail nigelash@blueyonder.co.uk Working to win Wigan West I have spent a lot of my free time recently in the ward of Wigan West helping the Labour candidate Phyll Cullen. Naturally very pleased with the result - Labour won by just under 400 votes. The result in full is as follows: Phyll Cullen Labour 837 Trevor Beswick Liberal 464 Susan Mather BNP 264 Jim Carmichael Prince CAP 219 Syd Hall Independent 72 Norma Stout Green 60 After this excellent result we will be going on to Wigan Central to fight another by-election and are hopeful of similar result which would be a Labour gain The weekend -part two. The Ashton Community Cup Spent a very pleasant few hours watching the first game ever of the Ashton Community Cup. The game was between Greater Manchester Police ( managed by Dave Whelan) and an Ashton Youth Team ( managed by David Johnson Liverpool FC Legend) and was played at the Robin Park Arena. The game itself was most entertaining. The teams contrasted each other. The Ashton Youth team who were mostly 16-19 year olds were quick and at times very skillful and the police team were - well - bigger and more physical. It looked as though the police were going to be beaten at one point but they hung in there and just won it in the last minute 5-4. The team sheets for both sides are in the photo Again congratulations to Wigan and Leigh Community Safety Partnership ,the Greater Manchester Police, the JJB and especially Andrea Pilling for organising this event. I hope it will be a regular fixture in the future This weekend - part one - Byrchall High School I attended the Byrchall Festival on Saturday which was celebrating the school's gaining maths and computing specialist school status. I was very impressed with the events that had been organised by the school which included among other things a netball competition, a maths competition, a live band from the school, an Army assault course and dodgem rides. The one thing that caught my attention was the display of owls, eagles and hawks on the football field. A very unusual sight. I hope everyone who attended enjoyed the day and congratulations to the school for organising the event. Can't get no satisfaction I am a member of a small group of Councillors and officers who are looking at the reputation of Wigan Council and what opinion the public has towards the organisation. One very interesting issue arose from the following statistics. In 2006 3000 residents were asked about satisfaction levels with the Council generally and particular services. Here are some examples of the statistics from the survey: 90% were satisfied with the standard of the refuse collection - provided by Wigan Council. 70% were satisfied with satisfied with the recycling programme - provided by Wigan Council 84% were satisfied with the way planning applications were handled - a service provided by Wigan Council. And yet only 50% thought that Wigan Council was doing a good job overall. So the question is: Why are people very happy with the individual services that Wigan Council provides and yet when residents are asked to comment about Wigan Council overall the satisfaction rate plummets? I would be interested in any views my reader may have about this issue. On a flying visit to Ashton the Dalai Lama decides to try the local cuisine and goes into a fish and chip shop on Gerard Street. He orders fish, chips and peas and gives the young assistant a £20 note. The young assistant puts the note into the till. After a minute or two the Dalai Lama, knowing that fish and chips cost less than £20 says ' Where is the change?' To which the young assistant replies enigmatically ' I thought you of all people should know, o great one, that change comes from within' At last - new bins for Ashton Heath When I was re-elected as Councillor in May 2006 one of the first things I requested was dog bins on Ashton Heath on behalf of the Ashton Heath Residents Association Today they have been installed. I would like to thank the Residents Association and dog users on the Heath for their patience. Stubshaw Cross residents meeting One of the main issues to come out of tonight's meeting was the group's aim to transform the derelict land on Bolton Road by the Labour Club into what it was like years ago ie a park with a garden for residents to use and even erect a Stubshaw cross. This project highlights how frustrating things can be for Councillors and residents when they want to improve their environment. The land in question is overgrown and an eyesore. There is a group of residents backed by myself who are keen to improve it. One resident in particular has found funding sources to see these improvements happen. However,the group has been waiting for a reply from the landowner's agents as to who owns the land for about a year now but has heard nothing. The group has even asked MP Ian McCartney to intervene. The problem is that the landowner ( or who we think is the landowner) has not yet given permission for any work to take place and until this permission is given no funder will touch this project. It is a question of watch this space. Does absence make the heart grow fonder? I have just been reminded at tonight's meeting of the Stubshaw Cross residents group that I have not posted a blog for some time. I could give many reasons for this - I have been on holiday, the cat's been ill, I have lost the use of both hands etc. But in the end the real reason for a blogless month is pure laziness on my part. So that was the 56th blog this year. Community Fun day on Jubilee Park I attended a fun day on Jubilee Park yesterday (Sunday 29th July) It was very well organised with stalls from various groups within the community including Friends of Three Sisters, Surestart and the Home Watch scheme,promoting the work they did within Ashton and Bryn. There was also an impressive climbing wall - which I did not try.And just for a change recently the sun shone all day. The Children and Young Peoples Service together with the Youth Action Group who organised the event must have been very pleased with the day and should be congratulated for their efforts. The picture is me and a member of the Friends of Three Sisters at their stall Lots to do this summer for children and young people As the summer holidays are now here I thought it would be useful to highlight some of the activities that Wigan Leisure and Culture Trust are putting on in the area for children and young people.

Big prize for local Tories I read the following on the Community Action Web site CHEAP DEAL WITH CONSERVATIVES KEEPS NEW LABOUR IN CONTROL OF THE GREATER MANCHESTER PASSENGER TRANSPORT AUTHORITY Conservatives rewarded with Deputy Chair of the Bus Shelters Sub Committee Wow, that's some reward Pavements in the town centre In the time I have been a Councillor the state of the pavements outside the Nat West Bank and Quality Save shop has been one of the main sources of complaint from local residents. Therefore,I was very pleased to learn recently that Wigan Council have approached the owners of these two establishments to ask for approval to improve the footway.If approval is given then the full width of the footway on the south side of Gerard Street from the junction with Warrington Road down to and past the entrance to the Nat West Bank would be block paved. Captains Lane During the recent works to improve the sewer system in Ashton, the road surface in Captains Lane was damaged by excess use of cars and heavy vehicles. Following a meeting with Ian McCartney MP and representatives of Wigan Council and United Utilities residents were delighted to learn that United Utilities agreed to undertake to repair the road. The work is now complete and has greatly improved the road. Mobile masts in Ashton town centre Plans have been put to the Council to erect two mobile antennae ( overall height 11.2 m from ground level) and one wall mounted antenna ( overall height 9.6 m from ground level) together with three associated equipment cabinets on the top of of the Greensway shopping centre. While appreciating the need for new antennae and as a mobile phone user myself I have nevertheless objected to the installation of these antenna in the town centre because they do not fit in with the street scene. I have asked for the issue to be considered by the planning committee at their next meeting with a view to a site visit in the near future. On the subject of the antennae in the town myself and Ian McCartney are still campaigning with local residents to remove the hideous antennae from the roof of the building in Hilton Street. If you have any comments about the proposed antennae in the town centre please contact me. No cold calling zone - Crossway Close and Linkway Avenue Every year in the Borough unwanted and uninvited callers approach people in their homes offering goods and services or trying to trick their way into their houses. Ashton suffers from a particularly high rate of this kind of con trick. In Wigan the Police,Trading Standards, Age Concern, Victim Support and other agencies take this matter very seriously and Wigan Council's Environmental Services are organising a campaign to stop it happening in the area of Crossway and Linkway. With residents' agreement they are looking to erect street signs telling people that they are entering an area where residents do not buy from uninvited sales people. Wigan Council is consulting with residents at present with a view to a full presentation of the scheme at the end of July. If you have any comments about this scheme please contact me. Beat it team returns to Ashton For the third time this year the Beat it team will return to Ashton in the week beginning the 16th July. If you know of anywhere in Ashton that needs a really good clean up then please contact me before the 16th and I will inform the Council. Labour Cabinet decide not to sell land for planned factory megasite Last Thursday the Labour Cabinet decided against selling 1.6 acres of council owned land to Patrick Properties. who wanted to build industrial units there. This will effectively freeze any further development on the South Lancs Industrial Estate. I always maintained from the moment I first saw this development that it was inappropriate for the people of Ashton. It would have done nothing for the area except to cause more congestion and pollution in return for a few jobs. The M.A.D. group must be very pleased with this decision. They have spent a year campaigning,organising public meetings in Ashton and Bryn and standing in Ashton town centre Ashton every Saturday to convince residents to oppose this development. I would like to think that we can now move forward and find some other use for the land that would be beneficial for the whole community Miners march through Ashton While I was doing some research for Ian McCartney to commemorate his twenty years as MP I came across this photo of miners,trades unionists and members of the public marching through Ashton to stop the pit closures proposed by Michael Heseltine in the late eighties. I found it interesting because as well as being a good photo it captured a moment that will never be repeated. As I remember it the march ended up in Stubshaw Cross Labour Club. Were you or members of your family in this photo? If so I would like to hear from you Did you go to Captains Lane when it was a youth club? At last month's AGM the trustees decided to rename the Captains Lane Youth and Community Centre. It will now be called Captains Lane Community Centre to reflect more accurately its present function of offering a facility to the whole community. During the meeting it was suggested that we hold a reunion for young people - as they then were - who used the centre when it was a youth club. If you are interested in having such a reunion please contact me on this blog phone Dave McKendrick on 712385. News from Captains Lane - Part one Members of Captain's Lane Centre met on Wednesday last to mark the contribution of a Jack Sudworth to the work of the Centre. Jack joined the Management Committee of Captain's Lane Centre in 1998, and was elected Chair in 1999, continuing in office until 2005, and retiring as Trustee earlier this year. Throughout his tenure he has been a key influence in the development of the Centre from its earlier years as a Council-run youth club, to its present position as an independent community centre serving the people of Ashton-in-Makerfield. He has combined his work as Trustee with roles in other community organisations in Ashton and Wigan, notably the Ashton Community Forum, Wigan Council for Voluntary Youth Service, and Ashton's Festival Committee. Because of the latter, it was felt appropriate to present Jack with a portrait of Ashton Library, painted by Chris Ball , a member of Ashton Art Group. The substantial contribution made by Jack to the management of Captain's Lane Centre will be missed, but fellow Trustees wish him well and hope his valued leadership of the Festival Committee will long continue.

__label__cc	0.591671	0.408329	Home / Automotive Reviews / By B. Schaffer / 27 October 2018 / Comments are Disabled By Barbara & Bill Schaffer With more than 100 different crossover/SUV models offered in the U.S., the shopping process can be downright daunting. We’ve been impressed by many of the utilitarian vehicles and one of our favorites in the compact segment is the Mazda CX-5. All new or at least heavily updated in 2017, the CX-5 also received a moderate number of changes for 2018. Most of the changes were additions to the safety technology and included what we believe to be some of the most important safety features. These include features like Blind Spot Monitoring, Rear Cross Traffic Alter, High Beam Control, Lane Departure Warning, Radar Cruise Control and Smart Brake Support. Not all features are available on all trim levels and the upper level Touring trim already had many of these features, but some are new to the Touring model this year. Most vehicles revel in their special or unique drive train features with fancy names, however we find the Mazda Skyactiv to have the most comprehensive inventories of technologies. They include everything from the body construction and engine technology, to the chassis and transmission. Chassis dynamics are aided by Mazda’s exclusive G-Vectoring Control, which uses the throttle to provide smoother, more confident steering. Mazda says it builds its cars around finesse rather than brute strength; innovation to do what’s best rather than simply what’s easy. We especially like the compact size of the CX-5, for its agility, high level of features and equipment. The fact that it fits nicely in our garage, is comfortable to ride in, can carry a good size load and it is fun to drive are all icing on the cake. A product of Mazda’s KODO – Soul of Motion Design, the CX-5 design has evolved and sharpened to an even more sophisticated rendition of a basic design that has maintained a fresh contemporary look. It’s still a vehicle that turns our heads when one goes by on the street or highway. The popularity of the CX-5 has propelled the mid-level SUV into the Mazda top sales slot making up nearly one-half of the total Mazda sales. In addition, it was also the second fastest Mazda to reach the magical 1 million units worldwide – following right behind the Mazda 3. The Mazda CX-5 is available in three trim levels: Sport, Touring and Grand Touring with base prices ranging from $25,345, including the destination charge, for the front-wheel drive Sport to as high as $31,940 for the all-wheel drive Grand Touring. The all-wheel drive is a bargain at only $1,300. The Grand Touring AWD we drove was priced at $34,685, which included illuminated sill plates, beautiful Soul Red metallic paint, a couple of minor accessories and a $1,395 Premium Package which includes active driving display with traffic sign recognition, heated rear seats, heated steering wheel and windshield wiper deicer. Standard features on the Grand Touring include features that are on our “must have” list, including rain sensor wipers, high beam control, adaptive headlights, radar cruise control, and push-button start. Standard safety features include hill launch assist, blind spot monitoring, rear cross traffic alert, smart brake support, smart city brake support, lane departure warning and lane keep assist. We also appreciate the Auto Hold which holds the brake on at a stoplight, so you don’t have to keep your foot on the brake for those long periods of waiting. The seven-inch screen used for Mazda’s Connect Infotainment System has a sharper picture with improved resolution and contrast. And, it’s a little thing, but the screen is moved higher on the dash and straightened for better visibility. Speaking of better visibility, the available head-up display has been moved from a reflective pop-up screen on the dash to a relocation of the readings on the windshield. Under the hood of all trim levels is a 187-hp 2.5-liter four-cylinder SKYACTIV-G and six-speed SKYACTIV automatic transmission. The CX-5 feels spunkier than the 7.6 second 0 to 60 mph time implied. However, we found acceleration and passing power to be very good, although we’d be remiss if we didn’t say, it would be even nicer with more power – perhaps a turbocharger option? The EPA lists fuel economy at 24 mpg city, 30 mpg highway and 26 mpg combined. We averaged 26.3 mpg during our week of mixed driving conditions. The CX-5 also has the first North American adaption of a G-Vectoring Control (GVC) for an all-wheel drive vehicle. The all-wheel drive versions (i-ACTIV AWD) have a new rear differential that cuts friction while becoming stronger and more efficient. If you are shopping for a small SUV, the choices are immense. However, the Mazda CX-5 should be right near the top of your “must drive” list. It’s outstanding from any angle. Tags: 2018, CX-5, KODO, SKYACTIV About the author: B.

But it wasn't simply enough to write about the Canucks. Essaying is so far removed from the pulse of drama-heavy days such as free agency. It has to be a live blog. It has to. Don't try to change our minds. We can't be tamed. But what sets our LiveBlog apart from all the others you could read today? Well, first, nobody's reading this one. So there's that. But here's the real prize: this is a Meta-LiveBlog. What does that mean? Well, it means we're not actually LiveBlogging free agency. We're actually LiveBlogging ourselves, watching TSN's Free Agent Frenzy. Sure, we'll report the news, but you can find that anywhere. Don't worry, you won't miss any news (unless the Canucks Message Boards' Trades & Rumours subforum crashes for the afternoon, which it always does).

Labels: Free Agency Day Meta-LiveBlog Spectacular, Yes I Will Continue To Call Him Hammy Byfuglien Trade Has Glorious Karmic Factor Short post, but I had to get something off my chest. I detest Dustin Byfuglien. As hockey players go, he's the scum of the earth. Is this a rivalry thing? Not really. Here's the thing: I believe it is beyond disrespectful to taunt the fans of your opponent when you score. And don't get me wrong. I'm no Don Cherry. Celebrate with your teammates--celebrate flamboyantly, even--but celebrate with your teammates. Don't celebrate as a show for the fans who, with that goal, you deflated and devastated. Don't revel in breaking their hearts. Revel in your success with the others that helped make it possible. I lost any respect I had for Dustin Byfuglien, even as the frustratingly talented nemesis of my team, when he taunted the fans of Vancouver. I was further incensed when he did the same to the fans in Buffalo. I wished all manner of harm upon him. So it was, with unbridled glee, that I celebrated the news last week that he had been traded, in a massive deal, to the armpit of the hockey world, Atlanta. First of all, being traded apparently sucks, and I always sympathize for the players. But, in this case, it couldn't happen to a nicer guy. where he will be expected to replace Ilya Kovalchuk and fail hilariously, be called out for having an albatross of a contract, forced to play with players that are not Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews, and deal with terrible management. All of these things, in themselves, are wonderful. But the most wonderful is the karmic factor. Look at these attendance numbers: nobody goes to games in Atlanta. They were third-worst in attendance last year. This year, without Kovalchuk, they are likely to drop a space or two. Byfuglien will be playing in an empty arena. What better justice for a player who systematically disrespects fans who pay to watch him play than to take those fans away. I am giddy. Labels: Blackhawks, It Is To Laugh Here is What Will Happen Tomorrow So tomorrow is free agency day in the NBA and the NHL, and we're about to witness two of the most disparate free agent frenzies in the history of the world. First, the NHL free agent frenzy. Have you seen this bumper crop? I mean, Sheldon Brookbank! Wowie zowie! Yeah, that's sarcasm. The big names tomorrow are Anton Volchenkov and Dan Hamhuis, two defenseman who will probably make between four and five million dollars to be the headline guy on a second pairing. If you want to go big, there's also Ilya Kovalchuk, who has received 6 Hart trophy votes since the lockout, to Henrik Sedin's 894, and he's asking for about 7 million a season. Any team that signs him is foolish. Indications are that he will succeed in a vacuum wherein the rest of your team will not succeed for lack of discipline, cohesion, and cap space. Basically, what I'm trying to say is that, while there will be fireworks, they will be at your local park, because it's Canada Day. They will not be in the NHL. The Canucks are supposed to be busy tomorrow. I hope so. Mike Gillis has promised that they are not done, and he'd better come through on that. The Canucks need at least one proven forward for their third line, be he a center or a winger. I suspect one of Cody Hodgson, Sergei Shirokov, or Jordan Schroeder are expected to make the team and have already been penciled in on the line. Maybe Oreskovich or Hansen could take another spot. Maybe. But there's no third line at all unless Gillis gets a guy that guarantees Tanner Glass spends 100% less of his time with the team playing there. I'd love to see a big-name forward with some size and grit join the team tomorrow. So would Mike Gillis. But, in two years with Gillis, we've seen that it's easier said than done. And Gillis has a tendency to scoop up guys in early July that nobody gives a rip about. Sometimes they pan out. Sometimes they don't. Sometimes they almost do. Expect more Ryan Johnsons than Ilya Kovalchuks tomorrow. Basically, what I'm saying is that if you're counting on NHL free agency to blow your mind, you're looking at the wrong league that utilizes a three-letter acronym beginning with N. The NBA is where it's at. Tomorrow is going to be insane. Have you seen their list of free agents? Here's Ball Don't Lie's top 25. Basically, everybody is. Lebron James. Chris Bosh. This afternoon alone, all the guys with option years opted out. Dirk Nowitki. Paul Pierce. Amar'e Stoudemire. It's going to be like when you edit rosters in NHL 2001, and you just move guys around to wank about. More guys switching teams than a class of freshman theater majors. I'll be following both. I'm expecting the NHL to fizzle. I'm expecting the NBA to sizzle. Combined together, it's going to be an awesome day. Labels: Free Agent Fizzle Arbitration May Be Good to Mason Raymond, Bad for Shane O'Brien You might have already heard that the Canucks have qualified eight restricted free agents. Maybe you don't know exactly what that means. If so, you're not alone. But, as far as I understand, the qualifying offer is an 105% increase on what players made the previous year which, when tendered, retains their private negotiation rights. From there, the player and the team can bicker over what the actual contract will be. And bicker they will. Few people care, I would imagine, what Tanner Glass will be paid. A lot more people care what Mason Raymond will make, because the arguments vary from between 2 million and 4 million. That is a massive disparity in dollars, especially considering that it's exactly the amount we just cleared off the books by jettisoning Steve Bernier. Wojtek Wolksi's recent signing, at 3.8 million per season, a possible comparable, does not bode well for the penny-pinchers among us like, say, Mike Gillis. So it's no surprise that this one's likely going to arbitration. Arbitration is a scary word. Our friends on the radio often like to cite the Brendan Morrison arbitration hearing, in which he was compared to a mouse riding on the back of an elephant. Like a trip to the dentist, sensitive areas get poked all too often, and enemies for life can be made. In more recent history, however, Kyle Wellwood's arbitration hearing went pretty decently last year, so maybe it will be nice. I would imagine somebody will hit up Costco for a fruit platter, and everybody will, at the very least, get to share some fresh pineapple. Raymond will likely be told about his common tendency to overlook his linemates, or that his go-to move of squeaking past the defenseman along the boards, cycling the zone and giving it to the defenseman with nowhere to go is not impressive. But if he can handle those criticisms, he'll probably have a nice time. It does not sound like a good time for Shane O'Brien, who, reports say, is much more hesitant to go to arbitration. In his own words: “Hopefully I don’t have to go to arb and, from what I heard, it’s not a pleasant process [...] They’ve probably got a lot of material they can use against me so it probably wouldn’t work too well.” Yes, they do. Notice here that Shane O'Brien is so scared of the word arbitration that he doesn't even say it. Arb could be anything from arboriculture to Arby's, both of which are intimidating, unpleasant institutions. He's right to assume it will be unpleasant for him. Probably because he's better known for busting out the guns than toning and trimming fat from them. The case to be made against SOB in arbitration might be too true, too sobering. And sometimes SOB prefers not to be sober. That he's aware of this is a good thing, and he's likely to sign a favorable contract rather than be forced to confront the man in the mirror. If he can improve his play at all, he'll be a stellar sixth defenseman on a nice, low, short contract. I hope he does, because I like Shane O'Brien, and his intensity and emotion during playoff time will be missed if he goes elsewhere. Labels: Pain Lion, SOB The Dreaded Two-Goal Lead, Vol. 1: NHL Awards Review This feature is titled "The Dreaded Two-Goal Lead" because everybody knows that having a two-goal lead at any point in a hockey game is a guaranteed loss. Two-goal leads are impossibly easy to come back from. In this case, I haven't written much on PiTB since the Canucks were ousted from the playoffs, and there's a lot to catch up on. Much like an ice hockey team coming from two goals down, I'm going to catch up effortlessly, starting right now. This feature is numbered Volume 1 because I imagine this won't be the last time I fall a bit behind in my coverage. I'm a writer who loves the Vancouver Canucks, and my urge to give away my writing for free wanes when my team isn't winning. But enough is enough. Things have been happening, and my opinion on these things must be known, even if I have to... self-motivate. Henrik Sedin won the Hart Did you hear about this? Yeah. It was pretty big news. Faced with some pretty stiff competition in Sidney Crosby and Alex Ovechkin, Henrik Sedin went all HenKik on them, dispatching the NHL's two best players like they were twin Blankas. The most interesting thing about his speech, I think, was when he thanked every player that had mentored he and Daniel over the years. It was neat hearing him name Trent Klatt alongside Trevor Linden, Matthias Ohlund, Markus Naslund, and it's a validation of media reports that these guys really went out of their way to acclimatize, educate and develop Daniel and Henrik. Hats off to the entire Canucks organization for this trophy win, as growing a player, over a decade, from the draft to the Hart is no easy feat and it's not done alone. Henrik's speech hinted at this beautifully and it was a great moment for Canucks fans everywhere. I'm still not convinced he deserved to win, but why gripe now that we have the league's most valuable player for 4 million less per year than Ilya Kovalchuk (allegedly) wants? I'll gripe briefly. The Ted Lindsay Award and the Hart trophy rarely sync up. Is that not strange? Is the disparity between "league's best player" and "team's most valuable player" really that large? Apparently, yes. Let's be honest. The vague wording of the Hart trophy means that I could argue for anybody from Henrik Sedin to Miikka Kiprusoff as its winner. In relative terms, Kiprusoff could have more individual impact on the Flames than Henrik had on the Canucks. Obviously, the Canucks were the better team, and Henrik's impact is far more statisically measurable, but still, the wording for the award leaves this wide open. That the argument for Henrik rested primarily on this phrasing proves that the phrasing isn't the greatest, not that Henrik is. Semantics aside, I am over the moon for Hank. And speaking of wording, will somebody please tell Jacques Lemaire that Sedin doesn't rhyme with redden? Ryan Kesler did not win the Selke Let's be honest: in some sense, this was the best season of Ryan Kesler's career, but in another sense, 2010 has probably been the worst year of his life, what with all the heartbreaking losses he's suffered after coming so frigging close. The Selke, the playoffs, the Olympic gold medal game... this is a guy that hates to lose, and did nothing but losing, humiliatingly, all season long. And nobody wanted it more. As an avid Settlers of Catan player, I understand this all too well. It's like having no wheat, or having the thief on your only source of wheat, when all you need to win the game is one effing wheat. Could Keith Ballard be that wheat? I might be more unhappy about the Selke voting than I am about the Hart. I don't know that Kesler deserved this award, but I do think that Pavel Datsyuk won this award on reputation. Granted, his takeaway numbers are the highest, but that's because he's a shifty bugger, not because he's the best defensive forward in the NHL. I'd give this more explanation, but why don't you read this post at Kukla's Korner instead. Also, this Video Was Pretty Funny Yes, yes it was. Ryan Getzlaf's deadpan delivery was hilarious. Bobby Ryan's petulance was also quite amusing. I think my favourite moment was when Getzlaf uses Ryan's medal as a coaster, and then says to him, "Sorry, I didn't' recognize it, it wasn't gold." Good on these two to agree to do this, as it was the highlight of an NHL awards show that should have been hosted by Aziz Ansari and not Jay Mohr. Just saying. Here's hoping that this isn't the last awards show to prominently feature some Canucks. Next year, I'd like to see Luongo return to Vezina form, Hodgson or Schroeder get some Calder consideration, and Shane O'Brien tone up so much he gets a nod for the Masterton. And come on, if he's back wearing the Orca, it's about time that Welly got some love for the Lady Byng. He;s so soft, when he goes into the corners, he serves his opponents glasses of water fresh from a mountain stream, like in that Van Morrison song. Labels: Hart, Henrik, The Dreaded Two-Goal Lead Canucks Acquire Keith Ballard, Confuse Fanbase Ladies and gentlemen, Keith Ballard. There is a definite possibility that you have not yet heard the news that Keith Ballard now plays for the Vancouver Canucks. It happened last Friday, just before the NHL entry draft, but I'm sure you don't care about when--you care about what went the other way. Well, let's fill you in: in exchange for the right to move Keith Ballard's couch to Yaletown as well as some dude named Victor Oreskovich, the Canucks parted ways with Michael Grabner, Steve Bernier, and their 1st round pick in the draft. I know what you're feeling right now: confusion. You're confused. Like Fox Mulder, you want to believe. Mike Gillis has earned our love and respect these past few years by making some pretty decent moves. The Mikael Samuelsson signing? Great move. The Christian Ehrhoff trade? Stellar move. Even many of his recent draftees appear to be laden with promise. In many respects, Mike Gillis has been good to us. But there is a dark side to Mike Gillis. It was likely his inner Sith Lord that traded a third-round pick for Andrew Alberts. Heck, perhaps it was that same evil force that thought Steve Bernier would be a force to be reckoned with. And let's be frank: the debate over whether or not the Mats Sundin signing was a good thing or a hilarious fiasco is about as tight as the Florida Recount. When you really think about it, Mike Gillis's track record is not going to help you determine whether or not you like this trade. Reputation is out, so let's do it the old-fashioned way. Let's do it how Ross chose between Julie and Rachel. Let's make a list of pros and cons. The Canucks get a top-four defenseman they desperately need. The Canucks gave up their first-round draft pick to get him, meaning they didn't have a pick for the first three rounds of the draft. It was, by Mike Gillis's assertion, a weak draft, and the Canucks' prospect pool is strong enough that he's comfortable being the first GM in Canucks' history to wait to draft anybody until round four. He was so cool with it that he drafted Patrick McNally in the fourth-round, a high-school student who's planning to go to Harvard after his senior year next year. The Canucks gave up Michael Grabner, who showed flashes of brilliance during his time with the Canucks this year. Though he seemed destined to spend his time scoring 30 goals a season in the AHL, he finally cracked the big lineup in 2009, scoring 11 points in 20 games. At times looked dangerous, especially skating with Mason Raymond and Ryan Kesler on what fans called the speed line. He also managed a pretty impressive hat trick in only his seventeenth NHL game. Now he looks like he might be a 30-goal-scorer in the NHL. Grabner was deemed superfluous when Anton Rodin and Jordan Schroeder headed to Manitoba. Schroeder especially showed that he might be ready to surpass Grabner on the depth chart, especially considering what he did in Manitoba at the end of last season. Furthermore, the top-six appears fairly set, with Burrows and Samuelsson as the interchangeable right wings to complement the Sedins, and the speedy, tight-checking Raymond and Kesler unit. Where was Grabner supposed to go? He showed, in the playoffs last year, that he didn't have the nose for the net or the grit necessary to be a third-line guy. He was going back to Manitoba, where he would swiftly find himself battling other prospects to be the first call-up. There was a likelihood he would lose, and if he suffered any sort of setback, he'd never be worth what he was on Friday. Not only was Michael Grabner expendable, but he may have peaked in value to the Vancouver Canucks. Such is their sudden, supposed prospect depth at forward. Grabner may very well turn into a consistent top-six guy in Florida, but it wasn't going to happen here. The Canucks gave up Steve Bernier! He had the potential to be the next great power forward. As the former rights-holders of a guy named Cam Neely, Vancouver should be extra careful when trading away players with this sort of potential. The Canucks got rid of Steve Bernier! Let's be honest. Bernier was perhaps the biggest bust Mike Gillis has made thus far. He was terrible. He missed more tap-ins than anyone, ever, and he was being paid 2 million a year to do exactly what Victor Oreskovich will do for $575,000. Don't get lost by his draft position or former pedigree: Bernier was a failure being paid for potential he had proven he couldn't fulfill. Rather than wait for this inevitability to be plain to everyone, Gillis shipped him out for much-needed capspace without losing any of the positives he would have brought: grit, size, and what I will heretofore refer to as fourthlinerness. Speaking of capspace, have you seen Keith Ballard's cap hit? He's making 4.2 million a season until 2015. This is a very long time considering we nobody seems to know exactly what he's going to bring us. In the best case scenario, he turns out like another Christian Ehrhoff, surprising everyone and making the Canucks the out-and-out winners in a foolish trade, but in the worst case scenario, he turns out like another Jay Bouwmeester and fizzles out after leaving Florida, the city that apparently ruins hockey players (see also: Jokinen, Olli). In this scenario, he sucks it up and makes life Hell for the Canucks when Christian Ehrhoff argues, during contract talks, that he's clearly worth more than Keith "Lame Duck" Mallard. If Ballard works out, he should bring more to the table than Christian Ehrhoff. He is said to possess similar offensive abilities to Ehrhoff, along with Ehrhoff's missing element: grit. He should help the Canucks D-corps by adding some toughness and increasing the point-getting ability of one of the highest-scoring bluelines in the NHL last season. Ballard, it's said, is mean, perhaps teetering on batcrap insane. Well, maybe he isn't, but this Youtube video sure is. The long and the short of it is this: if Ballard pans out the way Gillis thinks he will, he'll be about a two/three defenseman, he'll cap what Ehrhoff asks for in negotiations, he'll give us some of the grit we were missing against the Chicago Blackhawks, he'll improve one of our greatest strengths, and he'll make us harder to play against. That's a lot to ask for, but that package of goodness is why this trade might make sense after all. This was clearly a cap dump by GM Dale Tallon, and speaking of general managers with enough credibility to assume that they won deals just because of who they are, a team that this guy assembled recently won the Stanley Cup. I heard this argument recently on a Kurtenblog podcast and I agree. From where I'm sitting, Dale Tallon dumping salary is unlike Doug Wilson dumping salary. Actually, Dale Tallon did, like, forget to qualify a bunch of restricted free agents this one time, costing him team millions. Remember that? That's got to count for something. The Canucks now have five defenseman on the roster making over three million. It appears Kevin Bieksa, who does some very good things, is expendable. He'd fetch, at worst, a forward skilled enough to play alongside our third-line center, be it Cody Hodgson, Jordan Schroeder, or our beloved Kyle Wellwood, back for a third tour. I've been sticking up for Kevin Bieska for two seasons now, but even I can't explain what in the Hell he's doing on this play. Juice is great, but he has a tendency to be a bonehead. I heard somewhere that Ballard is a faster, more reliable, equally mean version of Kevin Bieksa. If that's true, I'd be happy to see Bieksa go. Keith Ballard once threw a puck into his own net (video at the top), and, you've likely already seen the video of the time he accidentally Canseocoed his Tomas Vokoun in the face. Ballard might not be done with the helmet fires. I'm a huge Canucks fan and everything is sunny until we get eliminated from the playoffs. Final analysis: No idea, and though the radio, the newspapers, and the Internet have been abuzz with people weighing in, the truth is that they have no idea either. I don't think anybody's ever watched this guy play. Playing in Florida is a little like farting outdoors, in that it goes largely unnoticed. Now, Ballard appears to have generated a lot of interest, before the Canucks emerged as the highest bidder, so he's clearly got something teams want. If Ballard can be all the things people say he could be, he's a great acquisition. But that's a big if. It's a risky if, and nobody can give any reliable insight into its probability. That's scary, but considering the bullish, overinformed nature of Vancouver hockey punditry, it's downright bewildering. It's also frustrating for Canucks fans, who have grown used to a media spoonfeeding them every tidbit they've ever wanted. This time around it's not happening. Anyway. I can see why you're confused. Labels: Ballard Quotes Taken Out of Context: LeBrun Edition Posted by Daniel Wagner "Doug Wilson and Mike Gillis went for a stroll together under the stands..." - Pierre LeBrun, June 25, 2010 Labels: LeBrun, Quotes Taken Out of Context Some of my 10 Unlikely Playoff Predictions (Almost) Came True! Two whole months ago, way back in the middle of April, as Harrison and I were getting PiTB! rolling, we made some playoff predictions. As a spoof, I made mine a series of thoroughly unlikely predictions, none of which I expected to come true. But some of them (almost) did. So, now that the playoffs are over and the (hated, loathed, and generally disliked) Chicago Blackhawks are the Stanley Cup Champions, here's a review of my 10 Increasingly Unlikely Playoff Predictions. I will be rating each prediction on a scale of 1 to atrocious. Prediction #1: Steve Bernier will lead the Canucks in goal-scoring, specifically with 13 goals (7 gamewinners). What's more, the Canucks would reach the Stanley Cup Finals for the first time since 1994. Result: Ha! Told you these were unlikely. Not a single part of this prediction came true, though, to Bernier's credit, he did score 4 goals in 12 games to finish 3rd on the Canucks. All of the goals came against the LA Kings, so it almost looked like this prediction could have come true. Then along came the 'Hawks and Bernier couldn't pull a Byfuglien. None of his goals were gamewinners. Verdict: Hopeful, but awful prediction. Prediction #2: Pierre McGuire will use the word "monster" only once per game. Result: I'm pretty sure I heard him say "monster" three times in one sentence, with a "monstrous" thrown in for good measure. Verdict: In retrospect, this was the least likely of my predictions. Appalling. Prediction #3: Chris Pronger will carry the Flyers to the Stanley Cup Finals with a brilliant postseason, only to lose the Conn Smythe to Brian "The Mighty Boosh" Boucher. Result: So close to being true. Instead, Pronger lost the Conn Smythe by being not very good in the final two games of the Stanley Cup Finals. He lost it to Jonathan Toews, who didn't even score a goal in the finals and finished behind Danny Briere for the scoring lead. The Mighty Boosh didn't start a single game against the Blackhawks. Verdict: While still horrible, this was easily my best prediction. Did anyone else on the entire internet predict the Flyers reaching the Finals? Prediction #4: Pavel Datsyuk won't score a goal against the Coyotes; Adrian Aucoin will score the series-winner on the powerplay in the second overtime of game 7. Result: The series did reach game 7, but Datsyuk scored 5 goals against the Coyotes, including the game and series-winning goal in a game 7 that didn't even get close to overtime. So, essentially the exact opposite of what I predicted. Verdict: While Datsyuk wasn't his usual wizardly self in these playoffs, he scored plenty of goals on Bryzgalov. Terrible prediction. Prediction #5: Jose "Alvin Simon" Theodore will be outstanding in net for the Capitals, recording three shutouts enroute to the Eastern Conference Finals. He will make 44 saves in a game 6 loss that knocks Washington out of the playoffs. Result: Theodore was fantastic in game 1 against the Canadiens, making 35 saves on 38 shots in a tough overtime loss. He then gave up 2 goals on the first 2 shots of game 2. He didn't play again. After game 7, neither did the Capitals. Verdict: Brutal prediction. Prediction #6: The Nashville Predators will sweep the Chicago Blackhawks. None of the games will be decided by one goal. Result: The Predators pushed the series to 6 games but couldn't knock out the eventual cup-winners. Game 5 was the only game decided by one goal. Verdict: 5 of the 6 games being decided by more than one goal makes this prediction look better than it is. The 'Hawks won the Cup, so this was a catastrophic prediction. Prediction #7: Barack Obama will appear at the first game of the playoffs for the Chicago Blackhawks on Friday to drop the ceremonial first puck. Because of this, Washington Capitals fans will refuse to vote for him in the next election, leading to a narrow victory for Republican Mitt Romney. Results: Nope. Ol' Mitt might still have a shot, though. Verdict: Putrid prediction. Prediction #8: The Ottawa Senators will light up Marc-André Fleury, causing him to be pulled in two of the first three games of the series. Despite this, the Penguins will rally back, with Fleury posting a shutout in game 7. They will subsequently be knocked out in the second round. Results: Specificity did this one in. The Senators did indeed light up Fleury in game 1, scoring 5 goals on 26 shots, but he bounced back with a solid outing in game 2. The Penguins won in 6 without Fleury posting a single shutout. The Penguins did get knocked out in the second round. Verdict: This prediction gets a participation ribbon. Thanks for coming out, execrable prediction. Prediction #9: Joe Thornton will dominate, leading the postseason in points. Evgeni Nabakov will be fantastic, with the best save percentage of the postseason. Despite this, the Sharks will lose in the Western Conference Final. The media will blame Thornton and Nabakov for choking. Results: While not dominant, Thornton did somewhat excise his playoff demons with a half-decent, inconsistent performance. He was, quite frankly, lukewarm, which may cause some deities to spit him out. And, since he had only one point in the 4-game sweep by the Blackhawks, the choking accusations still don't seem unwarranted. Nabokov had the third worst save percentage of the postseason, ahead of only (sigh) Luongo and Fleury. Verdict: Loathsome prediction. Prediction #10: The Stanley Cup winning goal will be scored by Rick Rypien. Result: Did anyone see that puck go in the net other than Patrick Kane? Maybe it was scored by Rypien...who knows? Verdict: Unknown. Labels: Hyperbole, Playoffs, Predictions, Questionable Comedic Content Offseason Blues: Why I'm Watching the NBA Finals Here's the thing. Annually, when the Canucks are eliminated, I turn my attention to basketball. Why? Because they know how to market their sport. I will admit that the NHL's advertising has improved (read: drastically) over the years, the NBA has been feeding me great ads and great drama. For example, check out their NBA Finals ad, which features lots of Kobe, iconic moments from NBA history, and Andre 3000 covering the Beatles. Labels: Basketball, Off-Season Blues Tuesday Night is Merely Okay for Fighting Jake Bogoch's article on the Puckmasters Fight School is a must read. As an inside look at the controversial fight school, it's intriguing; as a look at why fighting is a part of the game of hockey, it's invaluable. As a borderline pacifist who was raised Mennonite, I've always had trouble defending the presence of fighting in my favorite spectator sport. It's not just the fact that it's there, it's the fact that I enjoy it. There's nothing quite like Rick Rypien looking up at a player eight inches taller and sixty pounds heavier and taking him to task. When I introduced my wife, an American raised watching baseball and football, to the great game of hockey, fighting was one of the initial barriers. It was something that just didn't make sense. I tried to explain the benefits of protecting star players, pumping up your teammates (and the fans), and even intimidating opponents. All of it rang hollow. While all of those are legitimate reasons for fighting to remain a part of the fabric of hockey, the real reason I don't want fighting out of the NHL is because I enjoy it so much. As Professor Farnsworth might say: "Oh my, yes." Let's face it, every hockey fan in North America cheered when Evander Kane knocked out Matt Cooke (perhaps he should have attended the Puckmasters Fight School), though some purists may have attached an asterisk to the moment, noting Kane's visored helmet still securely attached to his head. Every Canucks fan perks up when they see a clueless goon size up Rick Rypien, thinking he's an easy target. Even my wife has taken to the Rypper. Hockey fans love fighting. The odd thing is, as much as hockey fans love it, fighting continues to be wrapped up in arguments against the violence of hockey. Appeals are made to the wider sports audience, that hockey is too violent for the casual sports fan. Meanwhile, UFC 114 Prelims on Spike TV captured 1.6 million viewers. The moments of violence collated by CBC post-Bertuzzi-incident? Only one involved actual fighting, the legendary night the Lights Went Out, wherein essentially every player involved in the junior Canada-Soviet game squared off, the Cold War taking to the ice. That's a bit of an isolated incident. But the sidebar to Bogoch's blog about fighting is "A History of Violence," with less electric-drill-based torture and more recapping of the deep-roots violence has in hockey. Every incident mentioned involves swinging a stick at a player's head; none of them involve a hockey fight. To what purpose was that sidebar attached to Bogoch's article about the Fight School? It's an odd editorial decision: the logical sidebar for such an article would be a history of hockey fights. Obviously, someone at Deadspin disagrees. Not pictured: Hockey. To finish things off, here's Nucks Misconduct's Top 10 Rick Rypien Fights. Good gravy, I love Rick Rypien. And Darcy Hordichuk had some interesting thoughts on fighting in this old blog post. Worth a read. As is A History of Violence. Very different from the movie.

__label__wiki	0.504506	0.504506	The Right Word: The End of Racism? Benjamin Franklin´s wife Deborah entering his study to find him in a compromising position with a comely young maid exclaimed, “Ben I’m surprised at you!” Venerable Ben replied, “My Dear you were amazed ---- I was surprised.” America’s first postmaster, premier scientist, inventor and statesman could then add the linguistic science of semantics to his long list of accomplishments. Semantics, utilizing the most appropriate word or phrase. Words like mores evolve with zeitgeist. Say it politically correct, render an apology, and consider counseling ---- then most indiscretions are usually placed in abeyance pending further examination before fading into texted, trending obscurity. The omnipresent global specter of Racism is a case in point as Nation State after Nation States “apologizes” for prior and present misdeeds. The provenance of Racism is inexorably linked to the 15th century super powers ---- Great Britain, France, Spain and Portugal. Belatedly joined by the Netherlands in quests for expansion in land and commerce. The critical path for this Euro-centric world dominance through invasive pillaging was forged from the voyages of Christopher Columbus aka Cristobal Colon. An African mythical sub-species was conjured to augment the labor intensive agricultural and mining interests as the indigenous populace of the Caribbean and Americas had been systematically slaughtered or likewise enslaved. This concept of one species of humans being inferior to another is false as all humans developed from a single source. Different characteristics in all life forms are resultant from adapting to climates and diets ---- evidenced by the closed communities evolved when the Earth was separated into continents, poles, and other masses. Diaspora thru exploration, conquests, and settlement development has created regional heterogeneous cultures. An example ---- peoples of color pullulated Northern Europe and the Iberian Peninsula principally through the Moors conquest of the then known world. Assimilation into regions was relatively seamless as the populace separated by interests and class rather than skin color. In that pivotal year 1492 Queen Isabella of Spain banished Jews, Moors and anyone with non Christian beliefs from the Iberian Peninsula thereby ending an 800 year Moorish domain. Ironically on Columbus’ maiden voyage to the Americas, his translator Luis de Torres is historically acknowledged as the first Jew to set foot in the New World and the navigator on this landmark journey, Martin Alonso Pinzón was an emerging Black entrepreneur. Most navies and pirate ships of the era were integrated; as Columbus and many of the 15th century Age of Discovery explorers were educated at naval colleges in Portugal. These academies incorporated in their instruction Early Chinese traders-explorers star maps and 48 point compass. (re: www.richardehill.org Commentaries / Legacy / Age of Discovery) A Euro-Centric aura of superiority was established as global territories were subjugated to the militarism and subsequent colonization. Foremost in this global conquest was the United Kingdom military interactions in over 80% of the current global nations. Using data from the decadal census beginning in 1790 as a baseline document, the information most preserved and historically maintained is Euro-Centrically biased. e g in1790 the door-to-door tabulated Census, only “free” European origins White Males were counted; everyone else was loosely combined. In 1890 the term Race was introduced into demographics as the Computer Age began. The Census data expanded over the ensuing decades to include Women, Blacks (sub-divided into varying categories i.e. “Free”, “Mulatto”, “Quadroon”, “Octoroon” and other quantifiers to signify the “perceived percentage” of White European origin blood). The Office and Management of Budget (OMB) has politically periodically included various groupings as White; including American Indians, Mexicans, and Lower Asians. The OMB acknowledges that there is no scientific basis for their delimiting and definitions of Races ---- these classifications are for ensuring equal distribution of government services and rights. The American Anthropological Association has unequivocally stated that skin color cannot be a sole determinate of so-called Race. The biologically unscientific concept of Race is a vanishing enumerator/designator for nationals in most countries as an enlightened world coexists without hyphens. Perhaps there is another word for Racism. Once that word could have been zionism or zionist. The words in contemporary zeitgeist are upper-cased (automatically by online spell checkers) to apply strictly to Jewish references. Go to a library and look in an older dictionary, you probably will not have to use a dictionary older than a couple of years. If you are concerned about Whites being a minority by year 2040, no problema (sic) ---- the terms Race and Racism will not be used in the same manner. Will the actions and prejudices be any different? One can only hope. CLICK IMAGE for SALES, DISTRIBUTION information	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0096.json.gz/line323

__label__cc	0.690877	0.309123	PHOTOGRAPHY BY ERIK TANNER STYLING & WORDS BY ELIZABETH CABRAL Jenelle Manzi has trained her entire life to be a part of the world-renowned New York City Ballet, and while this highly disciplined career can be all consuming, she realized that her purpose has gone far beyond her identity as a ballet dancer. It lies in the art of inspiring and moving those lucky enough to see her perform the legendary works of George Balanchine. She’s also finding purpose outside of dance. Manzi spent eight years of her career dealing with various injuries and health issues, two of which she was entirely unable to dance. In that time she became fascinated with alternative healing methods. Reading about Chinese traditional medicine, Ayurvedic medicine, adaptogenic herbs and nutritional healing led her to a path of learning and healing of her mind and body. This mind-body awareness has become an essential part of her daily life and fuels her as a ballet dancer and beyond. A by-product of this journey was her newfound love of creating clean superfood recipes. Her dream is to inspire young ballerinas and athletes to embrace the holistic lifestyle and diet that she says saved her. “Maintaining wellness is crucial in my life, especially because a majority of my career is dependent on my mind and body. Over the years, I learned that in order for everything to function at its best, you need to understand that everything works together as a system. It’s ultimately about balance – I eat well, stay active, and listen intently to the signs that my body gives me. “ How do you marry your altruistic pursuits with the world of dance and performance – are they exclusive of each other? I gain personal fulfillment from having a career that allows me to do what I love every single day, the most compelling part about the world of dance is the ability to speak to an audience and bring them an experience to reflect on. Everyone in the audience, no matter what age or language they speak, is able to draw a conclusion, an impression, or a story from a powerful combination of movement and music – it’s essentially a universal language. Whether the performance serves a method of storytelling, inspiration, or purely escape, I feel so grateful to be able to share a message with people every single night on the stage. It’s perhaps the main reason I do what I do. “the sole purpose of consuming is to eventually give back something even greater to others, in my case, a memorable performance.” How do dance and performance connect to the world of style? Style is an individual choice that is unique to every person. Everyone relates to and is personally drawn to something different – perhaps what makes style such a powerful tool of self expression. The same goes for dance and performance. Beyond a dancer’s technique, it is distinctive characteristics and artistic choices (some voluntary, some involuntary) presented on stage that make a dancer who they truly are. We can ask ourselves the question – why do certain qualities of a dancer speak to certain people and not others? The same question can be asked about style. How do you feel about “stuff”? What are your most valuable possessions? I personally get overwhelmed when there is an unnecessary amount of excess. I do believe, among performing arts, Balanchine’s Black and White ballets err on the side of minimalism. Regardless of art genre, I believe that the sole purpose of consuming is to eventually give back something even greater to others, in my case, a memorable performance. My most valued possessions are items that remind me of a moment or person in my life. Everything else is replaceable. For example, a copper whisking bowl and double boiler that I brought back from Paris when New York City Ballet was on tour there. They bring back memories of dancing on stage with all of my friends and my admiration for the energy and incredible food culture of the city. Another item is a framed piece of notebook paper on which I wrote in the first grade, “I want to dance on toe shoes in the Nutcracker.” This simple statement of my younger self represents so many important layers of my life. From my innate dream to dance, to the incredibly supportive people in my life who helped me along the way (shout out to #1 mom), to the hard work, sacrifice, and dedication it took to get me to where I am now. What haven’t you done/accomplished yet that you still want to? I realize that there will come a day when I will no longer be able to dance, especially for a career. While it’s a hard truth to face, it’s reality. My journey hasn’t really been an easy one and it’s certainly not over – I find beauty in the process. If there’s anything that I’ve learned thus far, it is that through some of the darkest times, we gain clarity and appreciation for what’s truly important to us. For me, it is my love for ballet, baking, and wellness. I recently launched a website dedicated to alternative ways to bake energizing snacks and desserts that still feel indulgent. While there are still other sections in the works, I cannot tell you how excited I am to combine my experience as a ballet dancer with my passion for baking with healthful ingredients. With all that I have learned in my pursuit of wellness, health, and strength as a ballet dancer, I will always be on a continuous mission to inspire others. I’m quite confident my next venture is a cookbook! #CREATE COP 25 While the world watches and waits, artists are being activated to use their platforms to bring awareness to this crisis and the summit. #CreateCOP25, a contest founded by Art Partner, one of the world’s leading creative talent agencies, ‘called on young creatives and climate activists to submit artistic responses to the environment and climate emergency.’ #CreateCOP25 was born of the need to create a visual dialogue surrounding the climate crisis, resulting in a visceral and hopefully real reaction.

__label__cc	0.730249	0.269751	Move Over Salesforce, SAP Hybris YaaS Is Staking Claim - Forbes At last week’s SAP SAP hybris 2015 Global Customer Days in Munich, Germany, hybris, an omni-channel customer engagement and commerce vendor, unveiled a number of announcements including its latest application, hybris Marketing. hybris’ vision is to “deliver contextual, consistent and relevant experiences regardless of channel or device throughout the customer journey”. Following SAP’s affection for three letter acronyms, the entire hybris suite is referred to CEC – Customer Engagement and Commerce. hybris Marketing is set of omni-channel experience capabilities that, according to Brian Walker, hybris and SAP CEC’s Chief Strategy Officer, “fill a key gap”. Integrated with hybris Commerce Suite, the platform delivers a single view of the customer enabling companies to contextually interact with their customers based on where those buyers are in their journey. Beyond a single view of the customer, Walker stressed that hybris is the new single source of truth within a company as it delivers a single view of orders, products as well as of customers. The real news didn’t receive as much glitz and promotion but is more significant – it is the introduction of hybris’ YaaS. YaaS stands for “hybris business platform as a Service” and fills the gap between SaaS and Pass in an emerging category called bPaaS (Gartner’s term). YaaS is key not only to hybris’ strategy but also to SAP’s. Unlike previous acquisitions, Bill McDermott, SAP’s CEO, had the good sense to leave this one alone and allow it to draw in SAP resources and expertise as needed. YaaS is a new business and development platform build on cloud foundry, which offers developers freedom in the programming language they want to use (i.e., Java, node.is, Ruby or Grails). It enables hybris/SAP to be truly multi-tenant and offers the market a state-of-the-art micro-service architecture upon which to develop an ecosystem of SaaS applications and services. And that is exactly what hybris and SAP want. They plan and have started to develop on top of YaaS to kick start a marketplace that includes SAP, third party and competitor applications. Sounds like Force.com, right? That is exactly what YaaS is – SAP’s answer to Salesforce’s Force.com. The YaaS stack resembles Force.com but is built on a more robust and technologically current architecture and enables developers to get to market faster.	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0096.json.gz/line333

The Barista Tag Archives: The Rolling Stones Mad Men: Episode 503 Tea Leaves Commentary April 4, 2012 Scott Last week, I wrote myself into liking the episode, after initial reservations. Not so this week. Episode 503: Tea Leaves was a strong return to form, well directed by John Hamm. We catch up with Betty, who is more Shelly Winters than Grace Kelly this season, thanks to the real-life pregnancy of January Jones. Death is hanging over this season thickly. All that’s missing are vultures on the reception desk at Sterling Cooper Draper & Price. The episode opens with contrasting scenes of Betty and Megan being zipped into dresses for separate social occasions. It’s our first glimpse of Betty this season, and boy has she put on weight (this story line is out of necessity, due to January Jones’s pregnancy). She has Sally and Bobby trying to pull the zipper of a powder blue June Cleaverish number, but they can’t get it. It was Gone With the Wind meets John Waters. Cut to Megan in a modish, loose-fitting dress unzipped to her butt. She’s talking to her mother on the phone in French, and Don walks up and easily pulls the zipper. No fuss, no muss. And thus, one of the main themes of the episode is launched – middle-aged Betty, struggling with her weight…and her mortality. More on that, later. Next, Don and Megan have dinner with the guy from Heinz and his wife. At first, we see how Megan handles the dog-and-pony show. It’s bumpy, but it works. It’s another contrast with Betty, who knew how to look pretty without interjecting her thoughts and opinions into the evening – she was very much be seen, but not heard. Not so much with Megan, who just blurts out, when asked how they met, that Don was divorced. You could almost see him wince. But it’s the conversation that happens next that sets up the next big theme of the night – youth, and generation gap. The Heinz guy and his wife have a laugh over The Rolling Stones and how much their daughter loves them. But he wants to market his beans to the younger generation and comes up with a play on the song Time Is On My Side which doesn’t bear repeating. Don’s not impressed, but humors the guy by saying he’ll check out their upcoming concert at Forest Hills. A secondary, but hugely satisfying storyline is developed when we find Pete and Lane waiting in Pete’s office for Roger. When Pete calls looking for him, he’s informed by a secretary that Roger thought it was in his office, forcing them to come to him. It’s a passive-aggressive power play in their cold war that’s as silly as the old Spy vs. Spy cartoons of the same era. The reason for the meeting? Mohawk has been landed, and they will need a dedicated copywriter to deal with the load and make them feel special. Both Roger and Pete seem to be vying to credit on bring them back. Hmmm. The new secretary, one of the African American candidates, ends up working for Don. Her name is Dawn, and there’s much fun had with the punning possibilities. Roger, predictably insensitive, refers to her once as the darkness before Don. Sometimes, progress ain’t pretty. Don and Roger bring Peggy in and give her the good news about Mohawk. They compound the good news by putting her in charge of hiring the new copywriter. The qualifications for the position are that this person must possess a penis. “A good looking version of Don,” Roger tells her. One last plotline – Harry comes up with the Stones tickets and takes advantage of the opportunity to impress Don by guiding him into the belly of the youth culture – to great comic effect. It turns out Betty’s afternoons are spent on the couch eating Bugles and watching The Andy Griffith Show. That is, when her mother-in-law isn’t dropping in and meddling. The lady’s mission is to protect her baby, who’s none-too-happy about Betty’s constant refusal to join him at social functions. It’s upsetting to him, and the mother-in-law thinks she knows why. “You get comfortable. You give up a little, then it gets out of control,” she says of the eating. When Betty asks her if that’s what happened to her, she’s ready for her and explains that she no longer has a man to please. “It’ll be easy for you. You’re just one of those girls.” Snap! So Betty goes to the doctor and gets to the point. The doctor points out that for middle-aged women (ouch!) it gets easier to pack on the pounds and harder to take them off. When she presses for the recommended diet pills, he refuses to do it without an exam, explaining that rapid weight loss is usually psychological in nature, having to do with everything we’ve seen in Betty over the four previous seasons. He starts feeling around her neck and finds something he doesn’t like and schedules her for a follow-up exam, sending Betty into a free-fall panic. It’s at this point that I connected Betty’s mortality to the comments about Don from the season opener and saw the cloud of death hanging over this couple. Two episodes in, and it’s getting pretty dark. Betty gets home, but can’t find Henry. She calls Don, who seems genuinely concerned for her welfare. He does the typical ledge-talking until she finally tells him to “say the thing you always say.” He tells her that everything’s going to be okay. Even though she’s manufactured it, just hearing him say it is good enough for this middle-aged little girl, and she gets off the phone and goes about her business. He, on the other hand, is haunted by the news. Is it out of concern and some love for her, or is it a reminder of his own mortality? Just as I was getting bummed out, Peggy and Stan rescued me with their banter. She’s on the couch, pissed off at the mediocre portfolios wasting her time. And then she finds one with “Judge not, lest ye be judged” printed on the outside. She’s interested, then rewarded by some good work on the inside. She shows it to Stan who’s also impressed, but tosses it on the reject pile. The ensuing argument perfectly showcases not only their personality differences, but the difference between Peggy (and by extension Don) and the rest of the SCDP gang (and most of the world). Stan advises her to stick with a mediocre candidate, lest she be working for him someday. She rejects the advice, saying that she’s inspired by good work. Stan tells her to suit herself, but that mediocrity makes for more restful sleep at night. Technically, he’s right, which is why it’s a C- world that we live in. Peggy brings in the clever guy, Michael Ginsburg, an obnoxiously neurotic striver, and he immediately sees through Peggy’s pretending to be the authority. He knows of Don’s reputation, and asks about him often. Peggy sounds like a 13 year old on her first babysitting gig, declaring her authority. But there’s a weird chemistry between the two, an Abbott and Costello-ish quality about them that had me rooting for them immediately. At the hospital, to have her tests done, Betty runs into an old friend who’s unaware of the divorce from Don or marriage to Henry. After an awkward hello (the woman is in for her own cancer treatment), the old friend – Joyce – invites Betty to lunch. At lunch, after some small talk, Betty makes a bold move for her. She asks Joyce a personal question – what it’s like dealing with the cancer. Joyce tells her it’s like being in the ocean alone, paddling, but getting further from the shore. But rather than panicking, she says her mind goes to normal things. She tells Betty “You get tired, and then you give in and you hope you go straight down.” Betty shivers at the thought as a gypsy approaches them, asking to read their tea leaves. Joyce laughs at the thought of having their futures read and gives the poor woman Betty’s cup. The gypsy does her thing, looks into the cup, and declares that Betty possesses a “great soul. You mean so much to the people around you. You’re a rock.” This declaration drives Betty to tears, and Joyce tips her and shoos her away. Later, when Betty is in bed with Henry, who must have a lot of pent-up desire, she initiates intimacy, which shocks him. This, after refusing to let him see her get out of the tub. Later, she has a dream, which Henry later, unknowingly and perfectly links to Scrooge’s Christmas Eve journey, where she sees her family dealing with the aftermath of her death. It’s cold, just as you’d expect from her, with Henry chanting “if, if, if….” It’s a trippy experience that wakes her from her sleep. As Betty’s dealing with the impending news from her side, Don is in a funk himself, but he keeps the news from Megan, still keeping lids on some of his compartments. As Don leaves to pick up Harry for the Stones concert, Megan kisses him and tells him he looks so square that he has corners, to which he says that he has to look like a man. Interesting. This whole episode, I had Dylan’s “The Times They Are A’Changin’” running through my mind – the verse about moms and dads and getting out of the way if you don’t understand what’s going on. The generation gap is further delineated when Don and Harry are backstage at the concert with groupies and other hangers-on. It’s another odd couple pairing, with Harry contrasting Don’s studied cool with his painfully awkward attempt at trying to fit in with the kids with his turtleneck sweater and jacket and bushy hair. As they wait for an audience with Allan Klein, the manager of the Stones, a couple of fourteen year old girls approach them, looking for cigarettes. One of them teases the two, calling them Derwood and Mr. Kravitz from Bewitched. Harry works and works to gain their acceptance, using references they don’t get until at last, one of the girls takes him off to find the band, leaving Don with the other. I have to admit that I wondered where Don would go with this one. Last season he would have bedded her, but this is another season, and Don’s got deep thoughts on his mind. He’s paternal with this girl, and refuses to answer her flirts. Instead, he first goes into clinical-always-working Don mode and asks her questions about why she likes the Stones and how she feels when she hears them. On the one hand, I think “man, he doesn’t get it. The Stones weren’t/aren’t a product being bought and sold. They were part of a revolution – THE SIXTIES!” But another part of me immediately responded “Oh, really?” And this is where Don’s going to live, I guess, this season, in the gap of not understanding or dealing with the changes to the world at-large and his world that are happening. By choosing Megan he seems to have instinctively put his chips all-in on the young, optimistic, new, and frightening reality, turning his back on the old. But it doesn’t mean he gets it or is comfortable with it. The young girl picks up on his line of questioning, seeing it for what it is, and asks him if he’s a psychiatrist. When Don asks her what she knows about psychiatrists, she looks down, then asks for a business card, saying she’ll use it to get in to see the band. Later, Don asks her what she expects to happen if she meets the band. She gushes over Brian Jones. Don pushes the point. “Then what?” He keeps on until she tells him that “None of you wants us to have any fun because you never did.” Don snaps back, “No. We’re worried about you.” It’s both very touching and very much a dad kind of remark. I don’t think we’ve seen the last of this 14 year old girl who has Don Draper’s business card. The night ends a failure. Harry comes back bragging that he met the band, but instead met and signed the Tradewinds. They have a nice moment in Don’s car. Harry’s been smoking pot, and now he’s eating a bag of hamburgers meant for his family. Don can’t get rid of him. Poor, sad Harry. The next morning, Megan wakes Don so they can go to Fire Island and hang with her friends. He’s hungover and doesn’t want to go. He has her sit down in a dramatic fashion that freaks her out (she knows his reputation). When he tells her that it’s only Betty maybe having cancer, you can see how relieved she is. But she’s a little bit pissed that he hid it from her. He confesses that he didn’t know how she’d react. When she brushes away his concerns, which sound like Betty, she takes the Don position and tells him “Come on. There’s nothing you can do.” It’s her version of everything’s going to be okay. She reaches out her hand, he takes it, and follows her – content to let her do the thinking and worrying for once. This is huge. Again, it’s Don letting go – if just a little – of the clamped-down Don Draper who controls everything and trusts no one. It’s a glimpse, perhaps, of the new Don Draper…of Dick Whitman. We find out the date when we see Betty and Henry sitting in Adirondack chairs in front of Henry’s marvelous Hudson Valley mansion in the evening as the kids play with sparklers – it’s the Fourth of July. And though there may not be explosions, the fuse has been lit on some big changes in this world. Peggy is nervous about Don meeting Ginsburg, but the meeting couldn’t have gone better, which shocks the hell out of Peggy. The Ginsburg in the meeting seems almost normal, aside from his plaid sport coat. Despite that, Peggy tries to answer all of Ginbsburg’s questions for him until Don finally shuts her up. Ginsburg defers to Don, appealing to his ego by citing Don’s Lucky Strike letter as an inspiration to him, and after an eloquent appeal, Don welcomes him to the agency, keeping Peggy behind to congratulate her. As Don and Peggy leave his office, they find Ginsburg kneeling on a sofa, looking out the window of their high-rise office building with Roger. It’s a weird picture that Roger turns weirder when he says “it turns out we both have a dream of throwing something out this window.” For Roger, it’s probably Pete Campbell. I have no idea what Ginsburg’s deal was. But I couldn’t help going back to my wife’s prediction that Don will eventually take the plunge himself one day. We’ll see. The next day, Pete makes the announcement to the entire agency that Mohawk is back in the fold. It’s a big production that he must have carefully planned, and in it, he took credit for bringing Mohawk back, of hiring the new copywriter, and of handing off the busy-work to Roger. It’s a public humiliation that was lost on everyone but Pete, Don, and Roger. John Slattery should win an Emmy just for the look he gives Pete in that moment – combination of hurt, shame, hatred and realization that his days as an alpha are over. It’s Pete’s world now, an echo of Don’s youth storyline, except that Roger won’t embrace the new. Rather, he tried to co-opt it by marrying young, but ended up hating Trudy just like he hates Pete. Don follows Roger and they go to Don’s office to drink. Roger vents his spleen, confessing that he feels as if he’s hanging from a ledge with Pete stepping on his fingers. He goes on until Don springs his surprise about Betty. Leave it to Roger to have the bottom line tastelessly figured out: Don – “Betty has cancer.” Roger – “That would solve everything.” Don give him a look, then he goes to the clichés – “She’s a fighter.” Don – “Come on.” Don, with on male to turn to, goes to Roger, a kind of father or big brother, and gets bullshit. But then, Roger gets serious. “Actual life and death. I’ve given up on that.” To which Don replies that he can’t do that. Roger, confused and resigned or resolved to carry-on, gets up and pauses at the door to ask when it’s all going to get back to normal. When Betty finally learns that her tumor is benign, she isn’t as happy as one would expect. Henry’s happy and makes the Scrooge connection – that she’s been given a second chance. But all Betty can see is that she’s merely fat…like Henry’s mom. There’s no resolution, and their marriage seems more doomed that hers to Don. There’s nothing real, no connection, no intimacy. It’s a sham, and they both seem to know it while they’re powerless to do anything about it. Later, when Don calls to ask about the news, Henry answers and is surprised to learn that Don knows. He gives Don the news then blows him off, then lies to Betty about who it was. Don is relieved at the good news, which relieves him of having to consider all of the implications of a world with no Bets. Megan walks in, which cheers him up. He’s glad to see her, declaring that she’s so optimistic. The episode ends with two very touching scenes. In the first, Ginsburg arrives home at a cramped and dingy apartment. His elderly father sits in his chair, reading the paper, lamenting the passing of an old Redsox player. Ginsburg announces that he got the job. His father rises, comes to the kitchen, and says a prayer, in Yiddish, I presume, over his son that moved me to tears. It was so well written and executed – the bare minimum in terms of information/exposition, but loaded with story and meaning. Beautiful. Finally, we end on Betty. She has made Sundaes for her and Sally, who can’t finish hers. After Sally asks to be excused to watch TV, Betty pushes aside her empty glass, and finishes Sally’s, as the showtune “16 going on 17” plays to close the episode. You wait little girl On an empty stage For fate to turn the light on Your life little girl is an empty page that men will want to write on Will Betty take advantage of her second chance and take control of her life, at long last, or will she retire to the couch and give up?

__label__wiki	0.508895	0.508895	Russian private law The blog is about different aspects of Russian private law, namely about the law of real estate, contract law, consumer law, housing law, law on biotechnologies and, finally, family law. The privacy and the law of proof An audio of a conversation between parties to a contract can undoubtedly be a proof in a litigation amid them but does it matter whether both parties knew it was recorded? The decision on the case before the Supreme Court eventually depended on the answer to the question above. The litigation was about a money debt and there were several loans between the parties, some of them had peen successfully paid back but one had been not. Unfortunately for the plaintiff the parties were friends at the time of the contract so no proper documents had been signed so it was difficult for her to prove which loan exactly hadn't been paid. She decided to use an audio of a conversation between her and the defendant in which the counterpart confirmed the debt. There was the only problem with this record - it was made without debtor's knowledge. The first instance decision was in plaintiff's favor with the audio as the key evidence.. However, the decision was reversed in an appeal court, which ruled that any parties of the conversation should know and approve the recording, otherwise it infringe the privacy of the person (art. 9 of the Russian Law on Information and Its Protection). The. Supreme court disaffirmed the appeal's court ruling by pointing out that privacy protected a person from the information being collected by the state or by an unauthorized third party. The circumstances of the case were totally different as the conversation was recorded by another party to the contract and, therefore, her rights and liability were affected as well. The decision is o be considered an important step to confirm that еhe privacy rules should not be an excuse to broke one's duties.

__label__cc	0.501548	0.498452	Ptelea trifoliata L. Family: Rutaceae Common Hoptree, more...hoptree Max Licher Gleason & Cronquist Martin and Hutchins 1980, Kearney and Peebles 1969, Wiggins 1964, Correll and Johnston 1970, Carter 2012, Allred and Ivey 2012 Common Name: common hoptree Duration: Perennial Nativity: Native Lifeform: Tree Wetland Status: UPL General: Strongly-scented deciduous shrubs or small trees reaching 6 m tall; bark smooth brownish-gray. Leaves: Alternate (occasionally opposite) along the stems, on long petioles; blades palmately compound with three sessile, elliptical leaflets; each leaflet 1-10 cm long and 3-50 mm wide, with a pointed tip; leaflet surfaces yellowish-green to blue green and shiny above, paler and hairy below. Flowers: Greenish-white and somewhat showy, in cymose clusters with stalks shorter than the leaf petioles so that the flower clusters are buried in the leaves; unisexual and bisexual flowers are found on the same plant; sepals 4 or 5 per flower, united at the base; petals 4 or 5 per flower, about 5 mm long, white to greenish. Fruits: Samara (dry, winged fruit) 1-2 cm long, flattened, nearly circular, with a thin wing all around. Ecology: Found in canyons, on shady and open slopes from 3,500-9,000 ft (1067-2743 m); flowers May-June. Notes: This is a large shrub with leaves in 3's; whitish flowers that resemble orange blossoms (they are in the same family); and dry, winged fruits similar to ash or maple fruits but flat and round. When the leaves are held up to the light, you will notice many delicate punctations or tiny glands on the surface. Crush the leaves to release a strong citrus-y scent. Can be confused with velvet ash (Fraxinus velutina) because of the 3-foliate leaves, but that species lacks the scented glands and has opposite leaves (look at where each set of 3 leaflets attaches to the branch). P. trifoliata is a quite variable species. Numerous subspecies and varieties have been proposed to describe the variation, but they are difficult to distinguish and are not necessarily worth worrying about. Ethnobotany: Root used as a seasoning and as a sacred medicine that holds many cures and that makes other medicines potent; leaves used externally for stomachaches, and also made into a poison. Etymology: Ptelea is the Greek name for elm, used because the fruits are similar; trifoliata means three-leaved. Synonyms: None Editor: SBuckley 2010, AHazelton 2017 Vascular plants of NE US and adjacent Canada Shrub or small tree; lvs long-petioled; lfls sessile, ovate or elliptic to rhombic or ovate-oblong, the lateral ones oblique; cymes 4-8 cm wide; pet oblong, pubescent, 4-7 mm; filaments pubescent; fr 15-25 mm wide, reticulate-veiny, with the odor of hops; 2n=42. Moist or rich woods and thickets; widespread in Mex. and sw. U.S., n. and e. to Kans., s. Wis., s. Mich., O., N.C., and Fla., and irregularly to s. Que., Vt., w. N.Y., N.J., and Va. May, June. Our plants all belong to ssp. trifoliata, most of them to the glabrous or inconspicuously pubescent var. trifoliata. The mainly more southern var. mollis Torr. & A. Gray, with the lvs and twigs evidently pubescent, the lvs densely so beneath, extends n. into our range as far as D.C. and is disjunct on sand-dunes along the s. shore of Lake Michigan, where it has been called var. deamiana.

__label__cc	0.538657	0.461343	The product - StablevaX™ StablevaX™ is a patented disruptive technology – a game changer in the world of vaccines. Stablepharma has so far identified over 90 vaccines suitable to use with the StablevaX™ technology. View list of patents Patented product and complies with the WHO protocols StablevaX™ meets the criteria for usage required by the WHO and can be manufactured at the same cost as current products. The approved liquid vaccines are dried from a solution of the stabilising sugar trehalose into the pores of a special sponge stored in a normal vaccination syringe. The vaccine is now protected, stored in the sponge, and housed inside a standard syringe at the correct dosage, to use simply add water. Stabilising the vaccine onto a “sponge” allows for it to be placed within the barrel of an ordinary syringe. Our technology allows us to manufacture StablevaX™ as preloaded syringes, filled with the correct individual doses. Stabilising and drying there is no need for refrigeration Our founder Dr Bruce Roser identified that the process operating in the “Resurrection Plant” that can survive for decades without water and then resurrect itself, could be used to stabilise other products. By dehydrating vaccines and using the process that nature uses, we can achieve a form of safe ‘suspended animation’ to stabilise most vaccines. We don’t make or develop vaccines - we take existing WHO approved vaccines, stabilise them, and deliver them in a unique way with our patented process. Trehalose’s stabilising properties are already used in c. 25 approved pharmaceuticals worldwide. To date we have identified c. 90 vaccines suitable for our process – this is a game changer. Administering to the patient without any change to current practice The StablevaX™ product consists of an auto disable syringe containing a vaccine stabilised within a compressible “sponge” Water is drawn into syringe prior to injection, this results in the liberation of vaccine from the “sponge” in less than 10 seconds Air is removed from the syringe following standard practice Vaccine is then administered via compression of the “sponge” by the plunger, we use auto - disabling syringes The science behind this ground breaking invention has been proven 6 years of R&D work concluded with an independent study conducted by UK’s National Institute for Biological Standards and Control (NIBSC) that confirmed a StablevaX™ version of the Tetanus vaccine produced the same level of antibody response as the existing fresh vaccine produced by leading pharmaceutical companies. Having achieved this milestone of successful testing in animals, we are now able to move forward to the next milestone of Clinical Trials in humans. 4 Queen Street Bath BA1 1HE +441225 581 220 info@stablepharma.com © Copyright 2020 Stablepharma Limited, All Rights Reserved.	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0096.json.gz/line356

Oh, and Hoofnutz re-opened it last year. Probably because he though his follow-up comment was really clever. Look, Pal, they work great. They are for rich people though. If you've never heard them you can't have an opinion on the way they sound so yap up. -SH You're not worshiping me per se, but what I STAND FOR: The best sounding music out there! -SH sput said: Guys and Gals...something strange is going on. My wife, Laura, absolutely hates Steve Hoffman and yet swears she has never met him or spoken to him. Okay, here's the ugly story. Last night, I was a little frisky. I like that word, "frisky". Yet it's not the type of frisky that scratching behind my ear is going to cure. Earlier I had driven the Rudyfield Hills to pick up some Polk LS 90s that turned out to be in prefect sound quality condition. The guy sold his speakers because of a problem with his Denon receiver. I got a super fantastic deal on some very nice sounding speakers so...I was extra frisky. Don't ask me how that happens. Obviously getting a great deal doesn't have the same effect on women or the guy that runs the Victoria Secret would be living swell during January clearance days. Things started clicking. One daughter went out for a last minute planned sleepover. The other daughter was really tired and wanted to know if she could watch TV in the master bedroom. Sure! She'll be asleep in 15 minutes. I'm thinking family room, fire place, LS 90s and as Ray said....whoopie! Suddenly Laura emerges from the bathroom in her shower robe. Damn....everything is falling into place. She's always more receptive after a good hot shower. I build a fire, dim the lights, run to my den for cds, ahhh...yes...soft music. Groove On 2! It's allllll gooooood! And gooooooood it got! I was in the zone. Great woman, great sounds, great fire. I was headed straight for Whoopie Land. I was slowly pulling my wife's panties off when I quietly said, "Steve Hoffman remastered this disc." Her body tensed. I was a bit bewildered but continued with my task. Suddenly I realized her panties weren't coming off as easy anymore. It was actually kind of amazing because she wasn't touching them. It's like some type of internal hydraulic air Pantie Brakes. I'm not sure how they work but a woman can defy gravity with her panties. She said, "What did you say?" (Houston, we have problem. We have a master, voice tone alarm! We're recommending bypassing the alarm and seeing if the system fails. There was no previous indication of trouble. Could be a false alarm. We're continuing with the mission.) "Did you say, Steve Hoffman?" (Houston, the ship is dying. We have Master Voice Tone alarms going off in all systems. The shimmy and shake we experienced earlier as stopped. That's not good. Houston, we've got to try something to get the ship back on course. We're recommending a new approach with some soft docking maneuvers.) "I cannot believe you just said Steve Hoffman while we're making love!" (Houston, she put her Shields up. We may have to abort.) Now let's take a quick look at the thought "abort". Form a mission standpoint this is unacceptable. Too much preparation has gone into the planning of this mission. Life saving, medical experiments are in the mission plan. Damn it...we have Celais in the cargo bay! Chuckle if you wish. But Celias is one of the greatest recreational drugs of all-time. Used responsibly (eventhough I lied to my doctor to get it) Celias is much like filling the gas tank with Premium Octane instead of regular no-lead for a special day of driving and performance. When you put the pedal to the metal you can't fathom the thought of sputtering or knocking. Top notch performance is a must. This mission must continue. "I'm sorry, sweetie...I merely mentioned how good the music sounds." (For you younger guys, this is one of those times when you have to be very sincere and delicate with your apology for DOING NOTHING WRONG!) "I cannot believe you mentioned Steve Hoffman while we're making love!" Sure this looks pretty much like her previous statement but there's an EQ change there that puts it totally into a new preceptive. For those of you in the music business that depend so dearly on your intrigue hearing....it must be hell be married and living with those subtle yet powerful EQ changes that woman are capable of delivering. Some men can't pick those up. They don't know that if a women says, "Oh thanks wonderful", it can mean something is truly wonderful. Yet if she adjusts her internal sound board just a little bit...it can mean, "oh, that's disgusting, you sick macho ***". "What's the big deal? Steve remastered the songs of this disc. They sound great. So what? I love you." (Pretty pathetic, huh? I played the "I love you" way too early.) For you younger guys, using the line "I love you" at this point and in this situation is the equivalent of screaming, "May-day may-day may-day, we're going down, we're going down! May-day! May-day! May-day! You'll never believe what her response was. It was, "Did you say, Sooo what!?!?" (Houston, the evil red star has trained it's super atomic, total destruction, laser weapon at us. We'll be dead in a second. Just wanted to say goodbye.) It's over. It's now steve-this, steve-that, website-this, website-that, stupid toys-this, stupid toys-that. So............ Steve, what the hell did you do to my wife? Hey, I'm as liberal as the next guy and understand we all have our past. What's water under the bridge is water under the bridge. I don't hold no grudges but gee whiz...this is crazy! I wish you'd apologize. And don't try that, "What's this thread about?" crap. If I go back to her and tell her you said you didn't know what she is talking about....it's only going to make it worse. For my sanity, do it by email. I don't want to know. I'm really disappointed that I've been posting here at your website so often and for so long and...you didn't mention you knew Laura. She wears that little thing I like..	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0096.json.gz/line362

CAs have essential roles in facilitating the transport of carbon dioxide and protons in the intracellular space, across biological membranes and in the layers of the extracellular space; they are also involved in many other processes, from respiration and photosynthesis in eukaryotes to cyanate degradation in prokaryotes. There are five known evolutionarily distinct CA families (alpha, beta, gamma, delta and epsilon) that have no significant sequence identity and have structurally distinct overall folds. Some CAs are membrane-bound, while others act in the cytosol; there are several related proteins that lack enzymatic activity. The active site of alpha-CAs is well described, consisting of a zinc ion coordinated through 3 histidine residues and a water molecule/hydroxide ion that acts as a potent nucleophile. The enzyme employs a two-step mechanism: in the first step, there is a nucleophilic attack of a zinc-bound hydroxide ion on carbon dioxide; in the second step, the active site is regenerated by the ionisation of the zinc-bound water molecule and the removal of a proton from the active site (PUBMED:9336012). Beta- and gamma-CAs also employ a zinc hydroxide mechanism, although at least some beta-class enzymes do not have water directly coordinated to the metal ion. This entry represents a domain characteristic of alpha class carbonic anhydrases. The dominating secondary structure is a 10-stranded, twisted beta-sheet, which divides the molecules into two halves [(PUBMED:9336012)]. Alpha-CAs contain a single zinc atom bound to three conserved histidine residues. The catalytically active group is the zinc-bound water which ionizes to a hydroxide group. In the mechanism of catalysis, nucleophilic attack of CO2 by a zinc-bound hydroxide ion is followed by displacement of the resulting zinc-bound bicarbonate ion by water; subsequent deprotonation regenerates the nucleophilic zinc-bound hydroxide ion [(PUBMED:8673298), (PUBMED:11493685)]. A carbonic anhydrase-like domain with striking homology to that of the alpha class carbonic anhydrases is also found in receptor-type tyrosine-protein phosphatase gamma and zeta. In this case it may have a different function, as only one of the three His residues that ligate the zinc atom and are required for catalytic activity is conserved [(PUBMED:8382771)]. Carbonic anhydrases (CA: EC 4.2.1.1) are zinc metalloenzymes which catalyse the reversible hydration of carbon dioxide to bicarbonate [(PUBMED:18336305), (PUBMED:10978542)]. The alpha-CAs are found predominantly in animals but also in bacteria and green algae. There are at least 15 isoforms found in mammals, which can be subdivided into cytosolic CAs (CA-I, CA-II, CA-III, CA-VII and CA XIII), mitochondrial CAs (CA-VA and CA-VB), secreted CAs (CA-VI), membrane-associated (CA-IV, CA-IX, CA-XII and CA-XIV) and those without CA activity, the CA-related proteins (CA-RP VIII, X and XI).

Cellular role: metabolism Supuran CT Carbonic anhydrases--an overview. Curr Pharm Des. 2008; 14: 603-14 Carbonic anhydrases (CAs, EC 4.2.1.1) are widespread metalloenzymes allover the phylogenetic tree, with at least 4 distinct gene familiesencoding for them. At least 16 different alpha-CA isoforms were isolatedin mammals, where these enzymes play crucial physiological roles.Representatives of the beta-delta-CA family are highly abundant in plants,diatoms, eubacteria and archaea. These enzymes are efficient catalysts forthe reversible hydration of carbon dioxide to bicarbonate, but at leastthe alpha-CAs possess a high versatility, being able to catalyze differentother hydrolytic processes The catalytic mechanism of the alpha-CAs isunderstood in detail: the active site consists of a Zn(II) ionco-ordinated by three histidine residues and a water molecule/hydroxideion. The latter is the active species, acting as a potent nucleophile. Forbeta- and gamma-CAs, the zinc hydroxide mechanism is valid too, althoughat least some beta-class enzymes do not have water directly coordinated tothe metal ion. CAs are inhibited by two classes of compounds: the metalcomplexing anions and the sulfonamides and their isosteres (sulfamates,sulfamides etc.) possessing the general formula RXSO(2)NH(2) (R = aryl;hetaryl; perhaloalkyl; X = nothing, O or NH). At least 25 clinically useddrugs/agents in clinical development show applications as diuretics andantiglaucoma drugs, anticonvulsants, with some compounds being developedas anticancer agents/diagnostic tools for tumors, antiobesity agents, andantimicrobials/antifungals (inhibitors targeting CAs from pathogenicorganisms such as Helicobacter pylori, Mycobacterium tuberculosis,Plasmodium falciparum, Candida albicans, etc). Several importantphysiological and physio-pathological functions are played by CA isozymespresent in organisms all over the phylogenetic tree, related torespiration and transport of CO(2)/bicarbonate between metabolizingtissues and the lungs, pH and CO(2) homeostasis, electrolyte secretion ina variety of tissues/organs, biosynthetic reactions, such as thegluconeogenesis and ureagenesis among others (in animals), CO(2) fixation(in plants and algae), etc. The presence of these ubiquitous enzymes in somany tissues and in so different isoforms, represents an attractive goalfor the design of inhibitors or activators with biomedical applications. Smith KS, Ferry JG Prokaryotic carbonic anhydrases. FEMS Microbiol Rev. 2000; 24: 335-66 Carbonic anhydrases catalyze the reversible hydration of CO(2)[CO(2)+H(2)Oright harpoon over left harpoon HCO(3)(-)+H(+)]. Since thediscovery of this zinc (Zn) metalloenzyme in erythrocytes over 65 yearsago, carbonic anhydrase has not only been found in virtually all mammaliantissues but is also abundant in plants and green unicellular algae. Theenzyme is important to many eukaryotic physiological processes such asrespiration, CO(2) transport and photosynthesis. Although ubiquitous inhighly evolved organisms from the Eukarya domain, the enzyme has receivedscant attention in prokaryotes from the Bacteria and Archaea domains andhas been purified from only five species since it was first identified inNeisseria sicca in 1963. Recent work has shown that carbonic anhydrase iswidespread in metabolically diverse species from both the Archaea andBacteria domains indicating that the enzyme has a more extensive andfundamental role in prokaryotic biology than previously recognized. Aremarkable feature of carbonic anhydrase is the existence of threedistinct classes (designated alpha, beta and gamma) that have nosignificant sequence identity and were invented independently. Thus, thecarbonic anhydrase classes are excellent examples of convergent evolutionof catalytic function. Genes encoding enzymes from all three classes havebeen identified in the prokaryotes with the beta and gamma classespredominating. All of the mammalian isozymes (including the 10 humanisozymes) belong to the alpha class; however, only nine alpha classcarbonic anhydrase genes have thus far been found in the Bacteria domainand none in the Archaea domain. The beta class is comprised of enzymesfrom the chloroplasts of both monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous plantsas well as enzymes from phylogenetically diverse species from the Archaeaand Bacteria domains. The only gamma class carbonic anhydrase that hasthus far been isolated and characterized is from the methanoarchaeonMethanosarcina thermophila. Interestingly, many prokaryotes containcarbonic anhydrase genes from more than one class; some even contain genesfrom all three known classes. In addition, some prokaryotes containmultiple genes encoding carbonic anhydrases from the same class. Thepresence of multiple carbonic anhydrase genes within a species underscoresthe importance of this enzyme in prokaryotic physiology; however, therole(s) of this enzyme is still largely unknown. Even though most of theinformation known about the function(s) of carbonic anhydrase primarilyrelates to its role in cyanobacterial CO(2) fixation, the prokaryoticenzyme has also been shown to function in cyanate degradation and thesurvival of intracellular pathogens within their host. Investigations intoprokaryotic carbonic anhydrase have already led to the identification of anew class (gamma) and future research will undoubtedly reveal novelfunctions for carbonic anhydrase in prokaryotes. Lindskog S Structure and mechanism of carbonic anhydrase. Pharmacol Ther. 1997; 74: 1-20 Carbonic anhydrase (CA; carbonate hydro-lyase, EC 4.2.1.1) is azinc-containing enzyme that catalyzes the reversible hydration of carbondioxide: CO2+ H2O<-->HCO3(-)+H+. The enzyme is the target for drugs, suchas acetazolamide, methazolamide, and dichlorphenamide, for the treatmentof glaucoma. There are three evolutionarily unrelated CA families,designated alpha, beta, and gamma. All known CAs from the animal kingdomare of the alpha type. There are seven mammalian CA isozymes withdifferent tissue distributions and intracellular locations, CA I-VII.Crystal structures of human CA I and II, bovine CA III, and murine CA Vhave been determined. All of them have the same tertiary fold, with acentral 10-stranded beta-sheet as the dominating secondary structureelement. The zinc ion is located in a cone-shaped cavity and coordinatedto three histidyl residues and a solvent molecule. Inhibitors bind at ornear the metal center guided by a hydrogen-bonded system comprisingGlu-106 and Thr-199. The catalytic mechanism of CA II has been studied inparticular detail. It involves an attack of zinc-bound OH- on a CO2molecule loosely bound in a hydrophobic pocket. The resultingzinc-coordinated HCO3- ion is displaced from the metal ion by H2O. Therate-limiting step is an intramolecular proton transfer from thezinc-bound water molecule to His-64, which serves as a proton shuttlebetween the metal center and buffer molecules in the reaction medium. 3D Structures of Carb_anhydrase domains in PDB 12ca ALTERING THE MOUTH OF A HYDROPHOBIC POCKET.

__label__wiki	0.539751	0.539751	Sam Rolfes – Progress Bar Video Design Commissions > Johann Lurf – Pyramid Flare Johann Lurf – Pyramid Flare Pyramid Flare from Sonic Acts on Vimeo. Pyramid Flare is a work by Johann Lurf, commissioned by Sonic Acts for Vertical Cinema (2013). Among the most mysterious man-made structures ever built, the pyramids still challenge scholars and provoke pseudo-scientific theories. Most architects have abandoned the idea of recreating a pyramid in modern times: first of all, it isn’t efficient as a building, and secondly, any content that might be assigned to it could hardly ever counteract its grandeur and ambition. So one could rightfully ask: Why build one today? Pyramid Flare is the second in a series of experimental films about modern pyramids all over the globe. It was filmed in Prague and documents a pyramid-shaped building that is now mostly used as musical theatre. Filmed with a 35 mm camera turned on its side, Pyramid Flare is a five-minute exploration of basic cinematic elements – film formats, structure, movement, time. The ‘pyramid series’ plays with these notions, each film takes a different approach to modern pyramid structures, and they all document the pyramid over the course of 24 hours. Structure is one of the keywords of the project, pointing to the mathematical structure of the pyramid and to the filmmaker’s approach to filming it. In Pyramid Flare the camera changes position every 20 minutes to capture the pyramid and the sun hovering above. It slowly circles the building, searching for the angles that keep the pyramid in the centre of the frame. Indeed, this conversation directs the film, leaving the director and his subjective point of view ‘out of the picture’.

Hensley: Bruce Arians' "retirement" ends Ex-Steelers offensive coordinator Bruce Arians' "retirement" lasted eight days, until he landed in an unlikely destination, writes Jamison Hensley. Blog Arians is scheduled to fly to Indianapolis on Monday to review and sign the contract. Team sources had told ESPN senior NFL analyst Chris Mortensen Jan. 22 that the Steelers let Arians' contract expire against the wishes of quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. The sources said Steelers president Art Rooney II wants the team to regain its blue-collar identity on offense. Arians, 59, had been the only offensive coordinator in coach Mike Tomlin's five seasons with the Steelers. During his time as coordinator, he turned the Steelers from a run-first team to a pass-heavy one to better suit Roethlisberger. Pittsburgh ranked in the top half of the NFL in offense during the past three seasons, but finished a disappointing 12th this past season."

You go into these things with the greatest intentions when you say ‘I do’ and you say ’til death do us part.’ Those vows hold value. They are not just words… You try and you work through it and the thing that you quickly realize when you are married and you become a parent you do the best that you can.” “....It makes you actually appreciate your parents a lot more. The thing that I’m most proud about this great woman who married (and I really do mean that from the bottom of my heart), is that together she has given me four incredible gifts…four beautiful children [Leni, Henry, Johan, and Lou]. She still, in my opinion, the most wonderful woman in the world. I think our priority was to remain civil and do this thing with dignity. We still very much love each other. To say that neither of us were grieving would be an out and out lie (and I don’t mind telling you that). I think the operative here is that we are civil to each other and we both have a tremendous amount respect and love and we try and do this with as much dignity as we possibly can.” Seal's appearance on Ellen will air later this week.

New York Times: Etta James, Powerful Voice Behind ‘At Last,’ Dies at 73 Etta James - Something's Got A Hold On Me HD by alexandru2006 (Via @nytimes) "Etta James was born Jamesetta Hawkins in Los Angeles on Jan. 25, 1938. Her mother, Dorothy Hawkins, was 14 at the time; her father was long gone, and Ms. James never knew for sure who he was, although she recalled her mother telling her that he was the celebrated pool player Rudolf Wanderone, better known as Minnesota Fats. She was reared by foster parents and moved to San Francisco with her mother when she was 12. She began singing at the St. Paul Baptist Church in Los Angeles at 5 and turned to secular music as a teenager, forming a vocal group with two friends. She was 15 when she made her first record, “Roll With Me Henry,” which set her own lyrics to the tune of Hank Ballard and the Midnighters’ recent hit “Work With Me Annie.” When some disc jockeys complained that the title was too suggestive, the name was changed to “The Wallflower,” although the record itself was not. ....In 1960 Ms. James was signed by Chess Records, the Chicago label that was home to Chuck Berry, Muddy Waters and other leading lights of black music. She quickly had a string of hits, including “All I Could Do Was Cry,” “Trust in Me” and “At Last,” which established her as Chess’s first major female star. ...“A lot of people think the blues is depressing,” she told The Los Angeles Times in 1992, “but that’s not the blues I’m singing. When I’m singing blues, I’m singing life.

The story is far worse as T.O. opens to GQ magazine, where Owens seems to be friend-less and penniless: "...Owens may have made a lot of money in his career—at least $80 million—but he insists almost all of it is gone....The problem, he says, is that he's by nature too trusting, loyal to a fault, despite everyone's carping that he's selfish. It's the sad old stereotypical song of the up-from-nothing black athlete: He let other people take care of things. He says his financial advisers (informally recommended by Rosenhaus) put him in a series of risky, highly leveraged ventures that he didn't discover until autumn 2010, when he finally demanded a full accounting. ...It's times like these that he misses Monique and Kita, who used to check in a lot; he fell out with them a few months ago, after shooting ended for the final season of the (T.O.0 show, when he discovered they were trying to sell their own lives as a reality program. "They said they were planning to make me an executive producer, but if we were business partners, don't you think I would have known about it?" "I don't have no friends. I don't want no friends. That's how I feel," he said.

__label__wiki	0.848202	0.848202	Melungeons and Redbones - Are they Lumbee Indians? Below are some of the articles written on the research of the Redbones, Croatan and Melungeons in the latter part of the 1800s into the 1900s. Written by men working with the Smithsonian, historians, doctors etc., they make it clear these three groups were related. The Lumbee and Redbones can be traced to the Lumber - Pee Dee Rivers to 1754. On Tuesday I listed by deeds and records men living there when the Militia reported to the Governor there were '50 mixt families.' The Gibson, Collins, Ivey, Bolton, Oxendine, Perkins, Sweat, & Chavis families are documented there, some who came there from Chippoakes Creek. The Robesonian - Jul 13, 1933 Identity of Robeson County Indians Traced By Scientist Dr. Swanton started on his quest of the actual origin of a racial group, which now number about 8,000 persons of mixed Indians and white blood at the request of a delegation of the Indians themselves. A colonial census in 1754 was found which told of a lawless people (50 mixt families jp) living at the headwater of the Little Peedee who had possesed themselves of land without patent and without paying any quit rents. "They presumably were recognized as whites at that time, but there is little doubt that they really were the ancestors of the present day Croatans," was the statement of the findings. (Rest of the Story) The Pee Dee River, also known as the Great Pee Dee River, is a river in North Carolina and South Carolina. It originates in the Appalachian Mountains in North Carolina, where its upper course, above the mouth of the Uwharrie River is known as the Yadkin River. The lower part of the river is named Pee Dee (in colonial times written Pedee) after the Native American Pee Dee tribe. The Pee Dee region of South Carolina, composed of the northeastern counties of the state, was named after the tribe and/or river. The first Europeans believed to have navigated part of the river was a party sent by Lucas Vázquez de Ayllón in 1526. Red Springs, North Carolina Hamilton McMillan The Croatan tribe lives principaly in Robeson county, North Carolina, though there is quite a number of them settle in counties adjoining in North and South Carolina. In Sumter county, South Carolina, there is a branch of the tribe, and also in east Tennessee. In Macon county, North Carolina, there is another branch, settled there long ago. those living in east Tennessee are called "Melungeons", a name also retained by them here The tribe (Croatan) once stretched from Cape Fear to Pee Dee and the Redbones of your section are a part of the tribe as are the "Melungeons" of East Tennessee. The French immigrants callled the half breeds Melange or Mixed and the term evidently has been changed to "Melungeons". ........... I am yours truly Hamilton McMillan "A hundred years ago a colony of Croatans settled in eastern Tennessee, on Newman's Ridge, in Hancock county. They can't tell today where they came from, for tradition over 50 years isn't worth anything. These are the people called Melungeons. They are similar in racial characteristics to the Croatans, and Dr. Swan M. Burnett, a distinguished scholar and scientitst (Burnett was working with the doctor in Hawkins County, likely on his research into eye diseases of the races) - the husband, by the way, of Mrs. Francis Hodgson Burnett, the novelist - has traced by family names the connection between the Melungeons and the Croatans. GOINS VS INDIAN TRAINING SCHOOL "Question by the court to McMillan: Do these people here call themselves croatans? Answer: No sir, they call themselves malungeans. Question: Were they ever called Croatans until this Act (1885) was introduced in here? Answer: No sir. Smithsonian Institution Bureau of American Ethnology - Ethnology - 1907 Croatan Indians. The legal designation in North Carolina for a people evidently of mixed Indian and white blood, found in various e. sections of the state, but chiefly in Robeson co., and numbering approximately 5,000 Across the line in South Carolina are found a people, evidently of similar origin, designated "Red bones." In portions of w. N. C. and E. Temn. are found the so-called "Melungeons" THE LOST COLONY OF ROANOKE: ITS FATE AND SURVIVAL. (Reprinted from Papers Am. Hist. Asso., Vol. iv., No. 4., 1891.) By Professor Stephen B. Weeks, Ph.D., Trinity College, North Carolina. Page 28-29 " The Croatan applied for recognition by the United States as Cherokee, but it was denied and the Cherokee acknowledge no relationship, having visited the Croatan country on a tour of inspection. There is a queer offshoot of the Croatan known as Malungeons," in South Carolina, who went there from this state ; another the "Redbones," of Tennessee. Mr. Mooney has made a careful study of both of these branches also. At one time the Croatans were known as 'Redbones,' and there is a street in Fayetteville so called because some of them once lived on it. They are known by this name in Sumpter County, S. C., where they are quiet and peaceable, and have a church of their own. They are proud and high-spirited, and caste is very strong among them. There is in Hancock county, Tennessee, a tribe of people known by the local name of Malungeons or Melungeons. Some say they are a branch of the Croatan tribe, others that they are of Portuguese stock. ” In 1897, Mr. Mooney wrote to Charles McDonald Furman that, "He felt that the Croatans, Redbones, Melungeons, Moors, and Portuguese were all local names for mixed Indian races along the Atlantic seaboard, with westward drift into the mountains." And stated, "It would be worth while of local investigators to go into the subject systematically. I think possibly the Indian remnants may have married with the convict apprentice importation of early colony days as well as with the free Negro element." Mr. Furman was considered by Mooney and other officials as the most informed person on the Redbones and Catawba Indians in Privateer Township, Sumter County, South Carolina. The Magazine of American History with Notes and Queries Volume XXV THE TENNESSEE HISTORICAL SOCIETY held an interesting meeting on the 9th of December last (1890) , at Nashville, Judge John M. Lea presiding. After the reports of various committees had been read, and other business transacted, Judge Lea addressed the society on the subject of the Melungeons. He outlined the early history of the settlement of North Carolina. A party under the protection of a friendly Indian chief had gone into the interior when the first settlers came to that coast and had been lost. No other settlers came till a century afterward, and they were told of a tribe who claimed a white ancestry, and among whom gray eyes were frequent. This people were traced to Buncomb and Robeson counties, where the same family and personal names were found as in the lost colonies. are now called Croatans, on account of a sign they made on the trees to keep their way. Judge Lewis Shepherd, attorney for descendants of the Melungeon, Solomon Bolton, of Hamilton County, Tennessee whose father was born in 1725 on the Pee Dee River. Judge Shepherd wrote what he learned of the Melungeons from this trial; "About the time of our Revolutionary war, a considerable body of these people crossed the Atlantic and settled on the coast of South Carolina, near the North Carolina line, and they lived among the people of Carolina for a number of years. At length the people of Carolina began to suspect that they were mulattoes or free Negroes and denied them the privileges usually accorded to white people. They refused to associate with them on equal terms and would not allow them to send their children to school with white children, and would only admit them to join their churches on the footing of Negroes.... South Carolina had a law taxing free Negroes so much per capita, and a determined effort was made to collect this of them. But it was shown in evidence on the trial of this case that they always successfully resisted the payment of this tax, as they proved that they were not Negroes. Because of their treatment, they left South Carolina at an early day and wandered across the mountains to Hancock county, East Tennessee; in fact, the majority of the people of that country are “Melungeons,:” or allied to them in some way. A few families of them drifted away from Hancock into the other counties of east Tennessee and now and then into the mountainous section of Middle Tennessee. This 1794 petition lists some of these people mentioned by Judge Shepherd; Spencer Bolton [his mark] [born 1725 on Pee Dee River] William Swett [his mark] Solomon Bolton [his mark] [Called Portuguese/Melungeon 1874 trial]James Shewmake [his mark] DittoSolomon Shewmake [his mark] DittoSampson Shewmake [his mark] DittoThomas Shewmake Jun [his mark] Ditto Thomas Shewmake Sen [his mark] Ditto John Shewmake [his mark] Ditto James Shewmake [his mark] DittoDavid Collins [possibly to Wilkes County, NC]Thomas Collins [Ditto]George Collins [Ditto] Delley Gibson [on Trail of Tears with Oxendine, Shoemake etc.,]Drusilla GibsonIsaac Linager [Linegar on Hawkins County CensusCudworth Oxendine [Charles Oxendine on Hawkins County Census]Archmack Ocendine [Also named Portuguese/Melungeons in the 1874 trial; Perkins, Goins, Manley, Mourning] Petition, Trial, Bolton Family and article found here Still not convinced?

Gingaskins? Gibson aren't Melungeons? I have received so many emails on the Gypsies, Gingaskins, etc., I have to respond. Below this you will find the families who lived on Chippoakes Creek in Virginia who went to Louisa Co., Va., and the Pee Dee River. They are the Ancestors of the Melungeons. In the past the Melungeons were Turkish Sailors dropped off by Drake, or they were the first African slaves that came over on the White Lion, or maybe Jews from Scotland, African slaves that mixed with the Indians. Now they are Gypsies, Gingaskin Indians, from the Eastern Shore of Maryland blah blah blah. Most amazing of all is this new theory being put forth. "I hereby respectfully submit that the “friendly Indians” [who built For Blackmore ] were Gingaskin, possibly Baker, Bishop, Collins, or Shepherd, not Cherokee and not named Collins or Gibson." Seriously, are they kidding? They cannot connect the Gibson and Collins to the Gingaskin or the Eastern Shore of Maryland, well let's fix that, let's just say 'the Gibson and Collins weren't Melungeons'. They suggest the Collins and Gibson can't be the 'friendly Indians' who built Fort Blackmore they were the Gingaskins; Bakers [?] , Shepherd [?] Bishop [?]. Incredible! Everyone wants to 'solve the mystery' -- well folks -- hate to tell you this, there is and never was a mystery. They are exactly who THEY and THEIR NEIGHBORS said they were! Portuguese who mixed with the Indians, likely Indians from many tribes but not the Gingaskins. They were not from Maryland! They suggest these are the Melungens being harbored in the Stony Creek Records. This is what the author, Emory Hamilton wrote of these records when he transcribed them. "Book Number 1, ends with July, 1811. Book Number 2, has a few faded pages with no cover. Book 2 , starts with what seems to be part of the Minutes of the November meeting 1811. These minutes between July 1811 and November 1811 have apparently been torn off and lost. Book No. 2, is in a very faded condition and very difficult to read. Hamilton's transcription was transcribed by someone else and then Jack Goins then transcribed yet a third transcription. Folks you just don't rewrite someone's history on a transcription of a transcription. One of the biggest mistakes in genealogy. It does not make sense that from the beginning of the church records these Gibsons and Collins were never called anything, not Melungeons. It is most likely someone was 'harboring' the two surveyors from Pennsylvania by the name of Mcclung - drop of ink at the end you got a 'melungen'. At any rate there is NO PROOF the word was used in those church records unless/until someone finds those original records the first time it is used is in 1840 by Parson Brownlow. Who Built Fort Blackmore? "July 13, 1774, Captain Russell again wrote to Colonel Preston the following letter showing that his people had changed their minds about the number of forts to be built and states that the forts had already been erected. ""Since I wrote you last, the inhabitants of this river have altered the plan for two forts only, on this river, below Elk Garden, and have erected three; one in Cassells Woods which I call Fort Preston; a second ten miles above which I call Fort Christian; the third, five miles below the first, which I call Fort Byrd, and there are four families at John Blackmores near the mouth of Stony Creek, that will never be able to stand it alone without a company of men. Therefore, request you, if you think it can be done, to order them a supply sufficient to enable them to continue the small fortification they have begun." Daniel Boone and his family lived at Fort Blackmore in present Scott County, Virginia from October of 1773 until March of 1775 and was in command of Fort Blackmore and other forts on the Clinch River in 1774 while the militiamen were engaged in the Point Pleasant campaign of Dunmore's war. Some of these men did not fight at Point Pleasant but were detached and were with Boone guarding the clinch frontier. Osbornes, Roberts, Rogers, Wallins, Bunch, Collins, Roark etc. [See Biographies of Herbert's men at Jeff Weaver's New River Notes. (Lord Dunmore's War): Micajah Bunch [King of the Melungeons] was among those diverted to Capt. Looney's company on the Clinch and did not fight at Point Pleasant. Instead he was with Capt Looney, Lieut. Daniel Boone and Lieut. John Cox guarding the Clinch frontier. John Collins was listed as living on Indian lands in Fincastle County, was among those diverted to Capt. Looney's company on the Clinch and did not fight at Point Pleasant. Instead he was with Capt Looney, Lieut. Daniel Boone and Lieut. John Cox guarding the Clinch frontier. Charles Roark married Abigail (by tradition a Cherokee Indian) about 1775 in Fincastle Co., VA. She died before 1820 in Ashe Co., NC. (Lord Dunmore's War): Charles was among those diverted to Capt. Looney's company on the Clinch and did not fight at Point Pleasant. Instead he was with Capt Looney, Lieut. Daniel Boone and Lieut. John Cox guarding the Clinch frontier . No Bishops, no Bakers, no Shepherds. No connections to Gingaskins. These records below show these families who were called Croatan/Lumbee, Redbones, Brass Ankles, Melungeons, & others show their roots in Virginia by the mid 1600s. They are easily traced from there, to Louisa County, Virginia to the Pee Dee River. To date we have only the Gibson DNA to show both settlements can be traced back to Charles City County and others we have to rely on records so far. Robert Sweat was granted 100 acres on Wilkerson Swamp near the Little Pee Dee River on 23 Dec 1754. This land adjoined the land of Joshua Perkins and was sold to Phillip Chavis. 17 November 1753 Bladen County land which had been surveyed for Gideon Gibson in North Carolina on the north side of the Little Pee Dee River was mentioned in a Bladen County land entry [Philbeck, Land Entries: Bladen County, no. 904]. TBC Part Two Melungeons and Redbones - Are they Lumbee Indians? Melungeons & Croatans The Melungeons were an offshoot of the Croatan/Lumbee Indians In 1848 a journalist visited East Tennessee and published the 'Legend of the Melungeons." They reported they were 'Portuguese who mixed with the Indians, blacks and whites.' People have said they made up their Portuguese ancestry to hide their African ancestry? If they were trying to hide it why did they say they mixed with 'blacks and whites?" Why are people trying to prove they were gypsies, Turks, Jews, etc., they said they were 'Portuguese who mixed with the Indians, blacks and whites. Early researchers before 1900 and into the early 1900s recognized the connection of the Croatan/Lumbee, the Redbones, and the Melungeons. Why are researchers today ignoring the early research of these eyewitnesses to history? Why are they trying to create new ancestries for them? It's in the records. The Croatan/Lumbee said the word Melungeon was 'retained by them here'. Early researchers thought they were Portuguese, Sheriff Buttery of Hancock County said they resembled the Cherokee. The Smithsonian published the Melungeons were an offshoot of the Croatan. Nowhere do you find anyone saying they were Turks, Jews, Gypsies, or Africans. Why is it people are so reluctant to believe these people were exactly who they said they were? The Croatan tribe lives principaly in Robeson county, North Carolina, though there is quite a number of them settle in counties adjoining in North and South Carolina. In Sumter county, South Carolina, there is a branch of the tribe, and also in east Tennessee. In Macon county, North Carolina, there is another branch, settled there long ago. those living in east tennessee are called "Melungeons", a name also retained by them here, which is corruption of 'Melange', a name given them by early settlers (French), which means mixed.'' Red Springs, NCOct 12, 1889Mr McDonald Furman Dear SirYour favor of receipt date on hand - I was much pleased in reading the slips sent me. The exodus of the Croatans English Colonists from Roanoke Island after the departure of Gov. Whte took place under the leadership of a Croatan chief, whose name was Ey-an-ac (or something like that) as appears from ancient maps discovered recently in Europe. The route as laid down on the maps which bear date of 1608 and 1610, was aross Croatan Sound and up the Roanoke River to an Indian Village - thence Southward around Pamlico Sound to a Croatan settlement on the Neuse River. From this settlement began the second exodus of the Indians and Whites or half breeds to a place on the Coharies in what is now Sampson County and to the Lumbee River and Pee Dee. The time of their second exodus is uncertain, perhaps as late as 1650. The early immigrants to Eastern Carolina according to tradition, intermarried with the Croatans and to this fact is to be ascribed; the frequency of German, English and Irish and French ------? among these people today. I think the name Oxendine was originally Ockenstein a German name. The families of that name show many German pecularities. The name Dial or Dole was I think Doyle an Irish name, Goins was O'Guinn (not D'Guin)Leary was O'Leary and so on. The name among them of Blanx or Blanc is French. The early Huguenot emigrants of that name came from the Department of the Mosell and those of the family who changed the Blanc to White, its English synonym, was designated as the 'Mosell" Whites and the name is now changed to Musslewhite. The French name of Bressi is now Bracy and Turbeville is now Troublefield. The Braceys and Troublefields live on the border of North Carolina and South Carolina and never intermarried with the Croatans or "Melange". Henry Berry Lowrie takes his Christian name from Henry Berry one of the lost colonists of Roanoke as you will see by -------? to list in pamphlet. Many of the Lowrie's settled in Robeson - others went to the French Broad in Western N.C., and those in Robeson claim that David Lowrie Swain Ex Gov. and James Lowrie Robinson late Lt Gov of this State were of their stock. The tribe once stretched from Cape Fear to Pee Dee and the Redbones of your section are a part of the tribe as are the "Melungeons" of East Tennessee. The French immigrants callled the half breeds Melange or Mixed and the term evidently has been changed to "Melungeons". ........... I am yours trulyHamilton MCMillan Since the above communications was read before the Society I have received from several sources valuable information in regard to the Melungeons; but the most important contribution bearing on the subject, as I believe, is the little pamphlet published by Hamilton Mc Millan, A. M., on “Sir Walter Raleigh’s Lost Colony” (Wilson, N.C., 1888). Mc Millan claims that the Croatan Indians are the direct descendant of this colony. What connection I consider to exist between the Melungeons and the Croatan Indians, as well as other material I have accumulated in regard to the Melungeons, will be made the subject of another communication which is now in preparation. * *Read before the Society at its regular meeting, February 5, 1889. A paper read by Dr. (Swan) Burnett before the Washington Anthropological Society on the Melungeons in the southern Alleghanies is a case in point. Annual Report By Smithsonian Institution - 1890 THE TENNESSEE HISTORICAL SOCIETY held an interesting meeting on the 9th of December last (1890) , at Nashville, Judge John M. Lea presiding. Colonel Reese, on behalf of the committee to consider the eligibility of women as members, reported that there was nothing in the rules to prevent, and, in fact, that the society now had a lady member — Mrs. Martha J. Lamb of New York. After the reports of various committees had been read, and other business transacted, Judge Lea addressed the society on the subject of the Melungeons. He outlined the early history of the settlement of North Carolina. A party under the protection of a friendly Indian chief had gone into the interior when the first settlers came to that coast and had been lost. No other settlers came till a century afterward, and they were told of a tribe who claimed a white ancestry, and among whom gray eyes were frequent. This people were traced to Buncomb and Robeson counties, where the same family and personal names were found as in the lost colonies. They are now called Croatans, on account of a sign they made on the trees to keep their way. The Basques of the Spanish coast have been said to have settled in that country, but this theory was not thought to be trustworthy. It would be impossible for negroes to form a distinct race, because the number necessary for a colony would not have been allowed to run at large. The race has several old English words which are used as they were in England two hundred years ago, and a case of civil rights has been won in court by a Melungeon displaying his person and proving to the court that he was of Caucasian blood. North Carolina gives the Croatians $1,000 a year for a normal school, and they have excellent roads. This colony, whose early history is thus so clearly traced, lies within forty miles of the Tennessee Melungeons. AN INDIAN TO BE HANGED Georgia Crotan to be Executed Next Month for Murder. New York TimesFebruary 28, 1897, Wednesday ATLANTA, Ga., Feb. 27. -- For the first time in fifty years an Indian is under sentence of death in Georgia. He will be hanged in Glynn County next month. Marcellus Lowry, the condemned man, is a Crotan Indian from the celebrated band in North Carolina, many of whom have drifted with the turpentine and timber men into Southern Georgia, where they are called "Melungeons." Lowery and a white man named Patrick Burns were working in the woods together and Burns went to Lowery's camp and entered his shanty to get something to eat. The Croatan Indians are a fierce, treacherous and vindictive race and once their anger is aroused they do not hesitate to commit murder. Secret of the Croatan Tribe-- The FamousRoanoke Settlers Were Not Massacred,But affiliated With a Friendly and PowerfulNation of Indians St. Louis Dispatch "A hundred years ago a colony of Croatans settled in eastern Tennessee, on Newman's Ridge, in Hancock county. They can't tell today where they came from, for tradition over 50 years isn't worth anything. These are the people called Melungeons. They are similar in racial characteristics to the Croatans, and Dr. Swan M. Burnett, a distinguished scholar and scientitst has traced by family names the connection between the Melungeons and the Croatans Croatan Indians. The legal designation in North Carolina for a people evidently of mixed Indian and white blood, found in various e. sections of the state, but chiefly in Robeson co., and numbering approximately 5,000. For many years they were classed with the free negroes, but steadily refused to accept such classification or to attend the negro schools or churches, claiming to be the descendants of the earlv native tribes and of white settlers who had intermarried with them. About 20 years ago their claim was officially recognized and they were given a separate legal existence under the title of "Croatan Indians," on the theory of descent from Raleigh's lost colony of Croatan (q. v.). Under this name they now have separate school provision and are admitted to some privileges not accorded to the negroes. The theory of descent from the lost colony may be regarded as baseless, but the name itself serves as a convenient label for a people who combine in themselves the blood of the wasted native tribes, the early colonists or forest rovers, the runaway slaves or other negroes, and probably also of stray seamen of the Latin races from coasting vessels in the West Indian or Brazilian trade. Across the line in South Carolina are found a people, evidently of similar origin, designated "Red bones." In portions of w. N. C. and E. Tenn. are found the so-called "Melungeons" (probably from French melangi', 'mixed') or "Portuguese," apparently an offshoot from the Croatan proper, and in Delaware are found the "Moors." All of these are local designations for peoples of mixed race with an Indian nucleus differing in no way from the present mixed-blood remnants known as Pamunkey, Chicka- hominy, and Nansemond Indians in Virginia, excepting in the more complete loss of their identity. In general, the physical features and complexion of the persons of this mixed stock incline more to the Indian than to the white or negro. See Mi-tis, Mixed bloods.

James Mooney, the noted expert, who is regarded as the finest authority on Indian history, says the theory that the Croatan are descended from the "Lost Colony" of Roanoke Island is baseless. Mr. Mooney has spent much of his life in North Carolina, studying these matters, and was here in 1916. He says the Croatan "embrace the blood of the wasted native tribes, the early colonists or forest rovers, runaway slaves and other negroes, and that of a steady stream of the Latin races from coasting vessels in the West India and Brazilian trade. "The Croatan applied for recognition by the United States as Cherokee, but it was denied and the Cherokee acknowledge no relationship, having visited the Croatan country on a tour of inspection. There is a queer offshoot of the Croatan known as "Malungeons," in South Carolina, who went there from this state ; another the "Redbones," of Tennessee. Mr. Mooney has made a careful study of both of these branches also. The Melungeons Paul Converse Southern Collegian December 1912 This is quite a fine theory, but most people are more prosaic and hold the Melungeons to be a mixed race, having Indian, Negro, and Caucasian blood in their veins. This the word “Melungeon” itself would indicate and the Bureau of Ethnology at Washington classifies them as a branch or offshoot of the Croatan Indians of North Carolina, who are a people of obscure and mixed descent in whose veins Indian blood predominates. at May 31, 2016 2 comments: Melungeons and Redbones - Are they Lumbee Indians?...

Matt Gay missed a 34-yard field goal as time expired to seal the victory for New York (1-2). Gay had made four previous field goals but had missed two extra points, one of which was blocked. Jones completed 23 of 36 passes for 336 yards and two touchdowns, plus two scores on the ground. He was 5 of 7 on the go-ahead drive that covered 75 yards and ended with his 7-yard rushing score with 1:16 remaining to put the Giants up for the first time all day. Jones was the team’s leading rusher with 28 yards. Barkley, who hurt his ankle in the second quarter when tackled awkwardly by safety Mike Edwards, had to be helped off the field. The running back — who had eight carries for 10 yards — was later seen on the sidelines with a walking boot and using crutches.

__label__cc	0.6663	0.3337	Guy Mettan: Jewish russophobia has never existed and still does not exist today 25121 Views July 20, 2016 126 Comments Guest Analyses The Saker Note by the Saker: Guy Mettan has kindly accepted my invitation to reply to some of the critical comments I made in my review of his excellent book ““The West vs Russia – a thousand year long war: russophobia from Charlemagne to the Ukrainian Crisis”. While I obviously disagree with this conclusions, as he does with mine, and while I welcome and even encourage an open and frank debate on any topic, especially a controversial one, I would ask all commentators to absolutely avoid any ad hominem attacks, not only because they are rude, but also because they never serve to make a valid point. They are all, be definition, non-sequiturs. I really believe that Guy Mettan has made a tremendous contribution to the understanding of Russia and would ask of you all, dear friends, to keep that in mind. That being said, I hope that this reply will generate a energetic and interesting discussion At first, let me thank warmly the Saker for his very laudatory review of my book on western russophobia. I’m especially grateful for the great attention he brought to all chapters and details of my essay, which is not very popular among European mainstream medias and scholars. But let me precise one think about what you have called one of the “most formidable russophobia”, the supposed Jewish russophobia. In my book, I have mentioned old roman-catholic, French, British, German and American russophobias but no Jewish russophobia because in my view this is not relevant. In my view, such a Jewish russophobia has never existed and still does not exist today. Let my explain why. First, if there is for sure Jewish Neocons in Washington who are strongly and phobically anti-Russian, there are also many American Jews who are denouncing their warlike propaganda. Notorious intellectual figures like Stephen Cohen and Noam Chomsky are Jewish but they are among the harshest critics of the russophobes Neocons in Washington! I think we can find as many russophobic Jews as russophiles Jews. In Israel for instance, prominent politicians like Avigdor Lieberman are not anti-Russian. And the diplomatic relations between Russia and Israel have never been as good as today since 60 years. If you look the true enemies of Russia today, the nasty types who are killing Russians for instance, you cannot see a single Jew. There were no Jews in Doubrovka Theater, in Beslan, in Georgia or in Ukraine. The Russian planes and helicopters in Syria were not shot by Jews or by Israel. But by Islamist terrorists supported by Muslim and Arab petromonarchies, Turkey or western democracies. Even in Ukraine, there are no Jewish battalions fighting in the Donbass but a lot of fanatic extreme-right nationalists with Nazi emblems, who are as well anti-Russian as anti-Semites. In Ukraine and Baltic countries, the ethnic Russians are in the same camp as the Jews… Secondly, russophobia, as any form of racism or ethnic phobia, is an ideology, a way of thinking and a behavior shared by large amounts of people from the top to the bottom of the society. It’s systematic, publicly asserted and officially endorsed. That’ s why it is possible to speak of an American russophobia, which is largely spread in the media, taught in some universities, funded by think tanks and officially claimed at the highest levels of the State circles in Washington. But that’s clearly not the case in the Jewish communities in USA or in Europe. And certainly not in Israel. I have never heard or read a systematic russophobic propaganda or appeals to Russian hatred or military mobilization against Russia in all the Jewish communities I met in the world or in Israel. Which is not the case in NATO circles in Brussels, or in the mainstream media and chancelleries in London or Washington. Thirdly, my point is also philosophical. If I highly dislike russophobes, I try not to hate them. I don’t wish to critic a phobia in order to cherish another one. In fact, I hate all phobias, russophobia but also islamophobia, sinophobia, arabophobia or africanophobia, which is probably the most common and ignored one. In that sense, I don’t share the views of the Russian writers or authors who have raised the question of the Jews in Russia. That’s an internal debate. I tried to read Chafarevitch but I could not understand what his problem was. For me, Russian Jews are Russian as well as the other Russian people, Slavs, Bachkirs or Buriates. They belong to the long history and culture of Russia as any other citizen even if we can criticize them on one or two aspects. A great nation doesn’t make difference between his members. Exactly as we try to do in Switzerland between German, French or Italian speaking communities. In conclusion, considering the history of the XXth Century, judeophobia is certainly the worst phobia, the most cruel one, whatever we can think about Jews and the politics of the State of Israel against Palestinians. This is not for excusing or justifying anything, this is just a matter of fact not to be forgotten. For all these reasons, I’m convinced that there is no “Jewish russophobia” and that any discussion about this question brings more confusion than it helps to grasp the deep roots of western russophobia and to fight against it. “There were no Jews in…Ukraine.” The oligarchs propelling the violebnce in Donbass in the Ukraine aren’t Jewish? Red Ryder on July 20, 2016 · at 5:36 pm EST/EDT The junta and Rada are controlled by Jews. The ATO is the blood lust of the Jews running the government. Of course, the cannon fodder and murderers are not Jews. They aren’t stupid. They send the Ukie morons to kill and be killed. T1 on July 20, 2016 · at 10:51 pm EST/EDT This is like describing WW2 without mentioning the NAZI’s. fabien on July 20, 2016 · at 2:12 pm EST/EDT he makes two points on the term russophobia not appropriate and judeophobia being one of the worst phobias ever. On ukraine, I couldn’t disagree more: Waltman-Poroshenko, Kolomoisky, Pyatt, Nulland, Pravyy Sektor thugs like Yarosk coopted by Israel, and yes ther are merceanries close to pravvy sektor fighting there with junta. AT some point it was alos said that isreal shiped surveillance drones to Odessa attn: Junta Sachhasvilli’s wife who suspected of organ trafficking …. Not too mention many 5th col oligarchs who coopted junta or maidan one way or another… C’mon!! This is denial here which is typically French political culture, I know it because i sometimes apply that same type of auto-censorship to myslef. Anything that could be remotely wrongly interpreted as racist or anti-semite must be censored. In France it’s not just political dogma, it is almost state religion. There’s Kazarian maf DNA all over the place on Maidan. last point He doesn’t make the very important distinction saker does btw a religion Judaism, a state: isreal, and a fascist political ideology: zionism Absolutely correct on Jewish meddling Ukraine, same as in Georgia. gallier2 on July 21, 2016 · at 1:33 pm EST/EDT fwiw Guy Mettan is Swiss, not French. What about bolsheviks extermination of Russians and slavs in general and destruction of their religion and culture? Thought I agree it is wrong to call it “russophobia” because that would imply that it is only restricted to Russians, goyophobia would a better term. Carmel by the Sea on July 21, 2016 · at 1:24 pm EST/EDT To be more precise, foremost Christ-phobia, followed by all other non-Jew phobia.

WizOz on July 22, 2016 · at 2:56 am EST/EDT It is as ancient as Jesus and the Christ-Logos, the Ancient of Days. “If the world hates you, understand that it hated Me first.” “You will be hated by everyone on account of My name, but the one who perseveres to the end will be saved.” “n Ukraine and Baltic countries, the ethnic Russians are in the same camp as the Jews…” -In Ukraine the Russians are starving and dying at the hands of volunteers funded by (((oligarchs))) For Guy Mettan: Let’s Talk About Jewish Revolutions–video Gilad Atzmon ( former Jew & former Israeli) http://www.gilad.co.uk/writings/2016/7/12/lets-talk-about-jewish-revolutions When Israel is Mighty –video —Yossi Gurvitz ( Israeli Jew) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YSy6ENVAJlY Anonymous on July 20, 2016 · at 11:49 pm EST/EDT Atzmon makes reference to “The Jewish Century” by Yuri Slezkine, reviewed by Kevin MacDonald at http://www.kevinmacdonald.net/slezkinerev.pdf . “A persistent theme among critics of Jews—particularly those on the pre-World War II right—has been that the Bolshevik revolution was a Jewish revolution and that the Soviet Union was dominated by Jews. This theme appears in a wide range of writings, from Henry Ford’s International Jew, to published statements by a long list of British, French, and American political figures in the 1920s (Winston Churchill, Woodrow Wilson, and David Lloyd George), and, in its most extreme form, by Adolf Hitler, who wrote: Now begins the last great revolution. By wresting political power for himself, the Jew casts off the few remaining shreds of disguise he still wears. The democratic plebeian Jew turns into the blood Jew and the tyrant of peoples. In a few years he will try to exterminate the national pillars of intelligence and, by robbing the peoples of their natural spiritual leadership, will make them ripe for the slavish lot of a permanent subjugation. The most terrible example of this is Russia.1 This long tradition stands in sharp contradiction to the official view, promulgated by Jewish organizations and almost all contemporary historians, that Jews played no special role in Bolshevism and indeed were specifically victimized by it. Yuri Slezkine’s book provides a much needed resolution to these opposing perspectives. It is an intellectual tour de force, alternately muddled and brilliant, courageous and apologetic. The book was winner of Winner of the 2005 National Jewish Book Award, Ronald S. Lauder Award in Eastern European Studies, Jewish Book Council, winner of the 2005 Wayne S.

Jews are renowned for their skills to get others fight their wars. “Wage war by way of deception” is their rule number 1, and this is the angle that should be explored the most. There’re some Jews who also love Russia but we can always count them on our fingers. Anyhow, the subject of Guy Mettan’s book is very interesting and definitely uncommon. I’ll definitely check out the book. Thank you! Mulga Mumblebrain on July 21, 2016 · at 7:17 am EST/EDT Mettan is correct that there are many Jews who do not hate Russia, but the Jews that count, the business elites who control Western politics and the MSM, they are a different kettle of fish. And the neo-conservatives who control the USA’s profoundly belligerent foreign policy that is dedicated to destroying Russia, China, Iran and any one else who dares to get in the way of global ‘Full Spectrum Dominance’ forever, are almost entirely Jews. A few Sabbat Goyim are thrown in for local colour and implausible deniability that neo-conservatism is a Jewish project, but they just follow orders. Furthermore, the oligarchs who pillaged the USSR under the cirrhotic Quisling, and drove the people into poverty, falling life expectancy and falling birth-rates were almost all Jews, and I scarcely see their actions as displaying other than hostility towards their victims. I think Mettan makes the usual ‘mistake’ of speaking of Jews as if they are a monolithic entity, and a few non-Russophobic or Russophilic Jews cancel out the hostility of the powerful elites, and that is plainly not the case. The real and worsening Russophobia is the product of Jewish elites who, by dint of their control of Western polities, finance and brainwashing apparatuses, see themselves at the very pinnacle of power, the most influential and dominant such elite group in recent history, if not ever. Any diminution in Western Atlanticist power will threaten the position, which, frankly, is seen by many Jews as ‘God-ordained’, or only fit given their superiority over all others. Hence the real and inescapable Russophobia of Jewish elites, so visceral that they even get into bed with Russophobe fascists in Ukraine who are dedicated Judeophobes themselves. Romanov on July 20, 2016 · at 2:30 pm EST/EDT So here we go, if Jewish russophobia has existed, perhaps we would not witness bloody bolshevik revolution and USSR collapse, not to mention previous events. The reasons why Russia is so hated by the jews in the west, is because Russia is the last large christian conservative European nation.. In all other European nations(execpt a few smaller eastern Europeans one with no influence).. Anyone that even points of jewish influence is arrested for “hate”.. And no, I am not kidding. In Sweden for example, the largest media organisation is “Bonnier” Bonnier is own by a jewish family.. The definition of anti-semitism is the belief that jews have disproportionate influence in media. Well, there is around 20 000 jews in Sweden and the majority of media is in the hands of jews..So if you simply know the truth, you are committing a hate crime and will be fined or imprisoned. Unless non-jews are quaking in their boots at even mention anything related to jews, jews and jewish organizations will not be happy. Here is a small example, Putin says that the majority of the first soviet government was dominated by jews https://www.reddit.com/r/conspiracy/comments/42hut9/80_of_the_first_soviet_government_members_were/ The notion that there is a large white country like Russia, where heterosexual christian males look out for their own personal, national and ethnic interests and do not shrink in fear when a jewish organisation or any “anti-racist” organisation points their finger and say “You do not like jews enough” is completely unacceptable to not only jewish supremacist organisations such as ADL that operate in every country in the west, but also to the average jew as well. The day the Russian government is overthrown by liberals, the Russian people are growling in poverty like Ukraine, as jewish oligarchs site and drink wine. And anyone even mentions jews are arrested.. That is the day that western media will suddenly say. “Hey, Russia, you are alright, you are democratic and progressive and we like you.” Mikel on July 20, 2016 · at 2:39 pm EST/EDT Excellent article .

If not , would be a good idea to do so . http://numidia-liberum.blogspot.pt/2015/11/russophobie-occidentale-larme-psycho.html I am afraid it is like this, most jews are heavily indoctrinated that they are a constant victim and everyone alse are constant perpetrators. This triggers in some individuals an extreme ethnocentric paranoid behavior, were anything is views as a threat, and it makes it easier for organisations to control and manipulate these people. Not all jews are bad of course, but many jews are victims too pretty elaborate and extremes methods of developing ethnocentric behavior. “most jews are heavily indoctrinated that they are a constant victim ” Right you are!

A very skilled artist, a very brave truth-teller. Very funny piece, 16 minutes – I didn’t want it to end. Highly recommend it to all. sorry couldn’t watch after he joked about North American ‘genocide’ of the indians….just because they are still around doesn’t take away from what colonialists did…read Howard Zinn… And their lifestyle was completely exterminated. I think you misunderstood, Ann. He is joking about how every other historical suffering except Jewish is denigrated or ignored and is continuing even today, while Jews are perceived as the sole and endlessly suffering victims, no possibility to argue. And Jews are taking advantage of this situation, making big money and through media they themselves control are facilitating this process further. You misunderstood and jumped the gun too fast. Personally, I would never find anyone making fun of Native Americans, funny. When I was young I lived among the Lakota people ( South Dakota) during the summers. I did this for many summers. I had Lakotas come over my house during different times of the year, that were going to the UN to ask for their rights. To saved them money I and other friends offered our houses for days until they had to travel to Europe. They would go to the UN Working Group on Indigenous Peoples in Geneva.

Why invincible Russian people? ” (translated through Google) James lake on July 20, 2016 · at 2:54 pm EST/EDT This is a interesting topic and I am curious as to why the Jewish Russophobia is discounted, when to me it seems so obvious. I. would echo the points raised by my fellow posters. I see evidence that there is Jewish Russophobia – and it drives all of the western Russophobia. It is there shaping the world view of Russia through control of the media and think tanks, and in politics Off the top of my head I can put forward the following that needs to be looked at 1. The ukraine leadership are Jewish and the funders of key battalions are Jewish. Yatsenyuk, Poreshenko, Kolomoisky. There are other oligarchs who are Jewish who funded the coup 2. Media ownership in the USA: The key opinion formers / media owners Fox, New York times, at washington post all Jewish owned/ or have Jewish boards. 3. In America the Neo cons: Kagan etc all Jewish. Run influential think tanks that have shaped US foreign policy for over 30 years 4. in France: key opinion formers such as Bernard Henry levy : Jewish The focus on the last few decades on Islam is important, but it could be argued that th is driven by the rise of radical Islam and geopolitics in attacking Russia – not Russophobia. Russophobia has deep roots – so much so that like Racism many people don’t recognise that they are Russophobic. For example the blanket acceptance that ALL Russians should be banned from the Olympics regardless of whether they are guilty of doping – because they are Russian is accepted as okay. The media put this out there as fair No other nation would be treated like this. Kenya is having issues with doping but no one would say they all should be banned. They would be seen as racist and unfair. But to treat Russians in this way is seen as okay. Even the right thing to do. That is Russophobia fabien on July 21, 2016 · at 12:55 pm EST/EDT basolutely right. point 1 – yats is rumored to be scientologist (his sister is there at the santa barbara church) point 4- i would add Laurent Fabius former french F.A minister who definitely gave the kiss of Judas to Yanukovich on Feb 22 2014.

Scientology is a Mafia-style racket, immensely powerful and openly corrupt, Fabius is a Likudnik Jew, and al-Nusra is and has been in an open alliance with Israel, who wish Syria to be destroyed and broken into fragments. All of which, as Harold Pinter observed, never happened, even as it was (and is) happening. Mad as Hell on July 20, 2016 · at 2:58 pm EST/EDT I will have to politely disagree with the honorable gentleman in the conclusion that he has reached, and sought to defend, as it relates to “Jewish Russophobia”. Contrary to what he would have us believe, Jewish hatred of Russia and Russians is not a figment of our collective imagination, it is real, it is historical, it is well documented, it is deeprooted and it is happening at the highest level today. He does concede that the American media and the MSM in general is Russophobia, so at least that is a start. The next thing that he can do is to find out and tell us ; who are the persons who disproportionately own the American & the MSM in general? And is there a correlation between ownership and what emanates from them??? If he can do that honestly and objectively then we can start having a discussion. The major think-tanks that spew Russia hatred daily, who bank rolls them? The sanctions on Russia, who crafted them and insist that they be extended ? Who, who, who? Or maybe he needs Victoria Nuland to give him a call and straighten him out. Jean de Peyrelongue on July 20, 2016 · at 3:05 pm EST/EDT By reading Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn “200 years together”, one gets some understanding of the complexity of the relation between Russian and Jews. When Russia took part of Poland and Lithuania in the 18e century, they took with those countries about 3 millions Jews. Since then Russia has been trying hard to assimilate the Jews with some limited success. It seems that those which participate in the bolchevik revolution and even under Stalin did enjoyed killing Russian and Ukrainians. I think those ones could be accused of Russo-phobia. Today it looks like Jews are still very powerful in Russia and a major part of the 5th column in Russia seems to be of Jewish obedience. Russians and Jews are still wed and like in any modern couple, you can find love and hate. Alex on July 20, 2016 · at 3:50 pm EST/EDT Can I ask about “French, British, German, American Russophobia”. France, Britain, Germany and Russia were all equally engaged in the great power diplomacy and rivalry of the 18th and 19th centuries. They were all engaged to some extent or another in the Great Game. There is no “phobia” about any of this. In the 20th century, the ruling classes in France, Britain, Germany and America were all rabidly “anti-communist”. There is something of “phobia” about this – against communists, not Russians specifically – but mainly rational pursuit of class interests. The religious enmities – do they amount to “phobia” and are they not reciprocal? And is the Catholic enmity directed against Russians or against Orthodox? (A recent book on the Crimean War by Orlando Figes argues for a religious element, although the geopolitics of the Great Game seems more obviously explanatory – but is this “Russophobia”?) The term seems to claim victimhood (for some not immediately obvious reason). It also seems to lump together so many different things that it is less than useful in explaining events. Marshal Rokossovsky on July 20, 2016 · at 4:13 pm EST/EDT Guy Mettan ? Typical as usual, part true, part LIES and the purpose ? You guess. siljan on July 20, 2016 · at 5:10 pm EST/EDT “Jewish Russophobia has never existed and still does not exist today???” Alexandr Solzhenitsyn gives us a different view: “You must understand, the leading Bolsheviks who took over Russia were not Russians. They hated Russians. They hated Christians. Driven by ethnic hatred they tortured and slaughtered millions of Russians without a shred of human remorse. It cannot be overstated. Bolshevism committed the greatest human slaughter of all time. The fact that most of the world is ignorant and uncaring about this enormous crime is proof that the global media is in the hands of the perpetrators.” IMHO, Solzhenitsyn’s words carry a bit more weight. Harry_Red on July 20, 2016 · at 4:32 pm EST/EDT Mr. Mettan clearly states in this article why he does not consider a “Jewish russophobia”. He states: “russophobia, as any form of racism or ethnic phobia, is an ideology, a way of thinking and a behavior shared by large amounts of people from the top to the bottom of the society”. So basically if there is not a large amount of “Jewish” people who are russophobic from the top to the bottom of society, then there is no such thing as “Jewish russophobia”. 1. I have just read The Saker’s review on Mr. Mettan’s book. 2. I have never read Mr. Mettan’s book. 3. Since I am not an expert on the topic, I found on Wikipedia the “Anti-Russian sentiment” page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-Russian_sentiment), which claims “Further works by Russian academics, such as Igor Shafarevich’s Russophobia[20] or the treaty from the 1980s attributed the spread of russophobia to Zionists”. 4. From my personal knowledge Zionists have committed historical crimes against the Russian people, let alone contributed to a phenomenon like a “phobia”. 5. You and I know, who are mostly Zionists….. 6. I believe if Mr. Mettan’s book (which again I have not read) has left out the phenomenon of “Zionist (Jewish) russophobia”, then he has basically left out a considerable amount of work carried out by “Russian academics” and can be considered lacking from a scholarly perspective……and this is the harsh reality of scholarly criticism lol. Dave on July 20, 2016 · at 4:35 pm EST/EDT Alain Soral has a theory that Israel tries to keep a good relationship with Russia in case the USA implodes. Yes well……if the tree ( US) dies, the parasite (Israel) would need another tree ( Russia) to survive. oldnik007 on July 23, 2016 · at 12:14 pm EST/EDT read somewhere that there are many univerity courses of judaism in china but very few actual jews. speculated the next victim of jewish largesse will be china. Its ironic that Mettan mentioned Chafarevitch (Igor Shafarevich to an English speaker). A brilliant “Russian” mathematician and writer. He wrote several books condemning Socialism as constructed in Russia. And attacking (in the thinking of many) Jews in Russia. He is a devout (as far as we hear) Orthodox believer. But while all of that is “interesting”,that isn’t the “ironic” part. He was born in Western Ukraine, Zhytomyr Oblast. So it would seem more accurate to call him “Ukrainian”,than Russian. But ,it gets even better if we dig deeper. That area was a major center of Jewish life in Ukraine. Both under the Poles,and under the Tsars and Soviets. As well as one of the Oblasts with heavy Polish and even German minorities in the pre-WWII periods.And the icing on the cake is Igor’s last name. Its a very Jewish looking name for a “Russian” family. I suspect he comes from a Jewish family who converted to Orthodoxy sometime in the distant past I doubt Mettan ,being Swiss,has studied deeply about the Russian World and its many facets,where they concern Jews.He is probably much more familiar with Jews in Western Europe. And the amount of Russophobia among them is probably limited.Its those (while certainly not all) from the ex-Soviet territories where the Jewish Russophobia would be from.He mentioned Ukraine’s Jews as not being Russophobic. And yet history shows them to have had a deep Russophobia.From the Tsars days until today (in many cases). I’m going to guess that he isn’t aware (as we are) that the Ukrainian anti-Russian junta,is full of Jews,or those of Jewish ancestry. The President,the PM,many Oblast governors,leading oligarchs,all fit that bill.And while they themselves “may” not be actual nazis. They have deep connections and control over many of them. Who are the most Russophobic groups in Ukraine. His reading of the US Jewish population needs some explaining too.He is right about many Jews not being Russophobic among them. But what he isn’t seeing is “why” that is.Around 2 million Jewish immigrants came to the US in the “age of mass immigration”. A huge number of them were from areas of the “Russian World”.And most of them were leaving because they weren’t happy under the Tsar’s rule.The Socialist and early Communist movements in the US were mostly people of Jewish background. And when Russia became the USSR and a Communist state those people were very supportive.Much of that support fizzled over the years,with the Trotskyites,Stalin’s purges,rise of Israel,etc.. But still those that hung on to their Socialist or Communist beliefs,mostly still have a nostalgic feeling for “Russia”. And those are the type of Jews he mentions as not being Russophobic.Are the Russophobes,or non-Russophobes,the majority? I’m not sure,but I suspect the question is more defined by Russia’s stance on Israel than anything else.As long as Russia is friendly,or neutral on Israel. The non-Russophobes will probably be important. But if Russia is considered as “pro-Arab” and anti-Israel you will see Russopobia in the lead. Just as with Saker,I consider Guy Mettan’s book on Russophobia as a most valuable recounting of it. But I think he does leave out the Jewish portion of it. And I suspect that is because he isn’t aware of its past history,concerning the Jews. Unless you study the history of Jews in Russia (and those Jews that left Russia) you can’t get a clear picture of Jewish feelings towards Russia,and Russians. Mettan is in an invidious situation. Hopefully not to impugn his integrity, but any writer on any subject in the West dare not mention the Jews in any negative manner, whatsoever. The eternal curse of ‘antisemitism’ is deployed like a cudgel at every opportunity to intimidate, vilify and silence, and no matter how brave, determined or innocent one might be, I can barely think of any victims of this witch-hunting who has survived the onslaught with their reputation or career intact. Straight-Bat on July 20, 2016 · at 4:56 pm EST/EDT Someone writing an essay on ‘a day in a commoner’s life’ need not remind the readers that it is the Sun who provides the day light ! Serbian girl on July 20, 2016 · at 4:57 pm EST/EDT Guy Mettan claims Jewish russophobia is not relevant because ” we can find as many russophobic Jews as russophiles Jews.” But is this not true for all the groups? i.e. Are there not examples of russophilic Roman Catholics, French, Germans? Why make the argument for one group but not the others? Why does Guy Mettan view the Jewish group differently ? (We’re talking about groups and not individuals here.) Verami on July 21, 2016 · at 1:08 am EST/EDT So where are all these Russophile jews that Mettan claims exist, apart from Noam Chomsky and Stephen Cohen? Perhaps they’re very shy and reclusive. Personally I don’t think I have ever met even one. Most that I know are Anti-Russian, and especially anti-Putin, some rabidly so. teranam13 on July 20, 2016 · at 5:03 pm EST/EDT Thanks for posting the article, Saker. Mettan is a scholar and keeps to his scholarly integrity of “show me the proof”. And lack of knowledge of the class stratification of Jewish society ( there are poor Jews, lots of them who do not identify with the oligarchs) and how that works in different historical times, does not help in this discussion, however. This guy Kolomoisky even set up a parallel Jewish institution when he was unable to take over the existing one and of course he funds it freely ( probably by the 3B he lifted from IMF transfer funds to the Ukraine). May I point out that when Lenin died, party membership was thrown wide open and consequently the nature of the Russian CP even at the highest levels began to change. What did not change was the historical and developmental challenges faced by all of the Russian peoples at this time. What I am beginning to understand dimly is that there was a psychology that accompanied the purges and widespread oppression of the populations by the Stalinist regime both of the perpetrators and the victims. It will be interesting to see how the populations of Turkey manages this as many of them ( non AFP) who were in the streets against the military coup most likely will be listed for elimination of one kind of another ( loss of job, shunning ( no religious funerals for opponents of the regime ) exile etc. in the future. But it is not the world of the mid 20th century. Please try to tone down the language. Mod Why has the publishing world suppressed an official English translation of Solzhenitsyn’s “200 Hundred Years Together”, which should have been done by the regular authorized translators of all his other works? We know it has been suppressed. We know Jews control the publishing world. How could this happen? Seems to be Russophobia by Jews. They attack the book unmercifully in American articles by Jewish experts on Russia and the author. Yes Larchmonter445, It’s a crying shame that the book has not been translated into English. Until it is, we have to make due with this; http://mailstar.net/Solzhenitsyn-200YT.pdf GoraKoska on July 20, 2016 · at 5:47 pm EST/EDT All those Russian Jews who demanded that they be allowed to move away – to Israel, the West, wherever – presumably they did it because they loved Russia? Another question: given what the Jews of the Pale experienced in Tsarist times, is it not surprising how few of them joined extremists like the Bolsheviks – how many instead sought to get on with their lives, or sought out moderate parties, or sought simply to emigrate? Calling this “Russophobia” seems unwarranted. You are right about the numbers. But there two points you left out. One was the difference in power to “affect” peoples lives. The Jewish Bolsheviks had a great about of power to affect the lives (either for good or bad.And I think we know the answer to that concerning the secret police) of millions. And two,the others you mentioned,did they dislike or hate Russia. But not actively manifest it.While feeling that hatred within themselves .In some/many cases passing it on to their descendants.I think the large numbers that left Russia (by far surpassing other immigration of non-Jews from Russia in percentage) would give a “clue” that they weren’t “pro-Russian”. Uncle Bob 1 That a small number of Russian Jews made up a disproportionate number (though still a minority) of Bolsheviks makes the Bolshevik shedding of blood a consequence of “Jewish Russophobia”? That many of those who emigrated had no great love for Tsarist Russia and its discrimination and pogroms (and didn’t stay to enjoy the success that other Russian Jews enjoyed as Tsarist oppression eased and was then abolished) – makes American paranoia about “Reds” a consequence of “Jewish Russophobia”? A few Russian Jews have ended up in Palestine and then in Israel. Their hatred of Russia is.. oh, wait… so Israeli Jews don’t hate Russia… Huh, who knew… There is an appearance of wanting to believe in “Jewish Russophobia” and an eagerness to shoehorn anything into the mold of “evidence of Jewish Russophobia”. This surely isn’t how history should be done. It wasn’t a small number percentage wise. And those numbers were leading elements, and the cadre level just below leadership. The Bolshevik leadership throughout the Revolutionary period was “fixated” on what they called “Great Russian Chauvinism”. And did as much as they could to weaken Russia’s power in the USSR during that period. They split the Slavs,encouraging regional peoples to become separate nations (Ukraine and Belarus). And set up other minority groups into autonomous “republics” and regions. All for the purpose of weakening Russian influence in the USSR.I’d have to conclude that was a form of Russophobia. As for the immigration,I don’t understand your thinking there.I think its quite obvious that having left because of not liking Russia would continue to manifest Russophobia in future generations of those people. We’ve seen that in the thinking of the descendants of Ukrainian Bandera supporters that immigrated to the US and Canada. Why that would be different with Jewish immigrants I don’t see. As for Israel,I think you aren’t seeing the full picture. There were Jewish immigrants from the USSR (and the Russian Empire) that were very anti-Russian. And then there were those Jews that came after the Soviet collapse for economic reasons. Those weren’t necessarily Russophobic (many were actually intermarried.And some only claiming to be Jewish to be able to immigrate there).But that doesn’t negate the fact that Israel has had a Russophobic tradition in its history. That it may or may not be as strong as among Jews in the US,doesn’t mean it isn’t there. I’m not one that believes that Jewish Russophobia is total among Jews.Nor that it may be as powerful today as some other forms of it .But I believe it is a huge error to overlook it in history. And certainly a mistake to deny it. Alex on July 22, 2016 · at 8:56 am EST/EDT I said a small percentage of the three or five million Russian Jews made up a disproportionate number of Bolsheviks. This does not make Bolshevism “Judeo-” anything. As for “Great Russian Chauvinism”, the Russian minority in the Tsarist Empire did indeed pursue policies to maintain their supremacy over non-Russians. Read any history book. It seems odd to compare American Jews with Banderists. Yes, I’m sure many retain their parents and grandparents etc. memories of persecution. And many of their parents etc retained a nostalgia for their homeland. The rhetoric here is that this constitutes “Russophobia” which explains American hostility towards Russia. American hostility is surely better explained by anti-Communism in the twentieth century and geopolitics then and now. Emigration from Russia to Palestine represented about one per cent of total emigration. Emigrants from the USSR were anti-Soviet not anti-Russian. What tradition of “Russophobia”? I guess we’ll just have to disagree on those points. I think when one portion of a small ethnic group in a society. Has a vast part of the leadership of that state. And imposes their ideas on that state. That that is a very telling fact. I fear now that you are going to claim the Jews in the US don’t also have a disproportionate role for their size in the US As they dominate Hollywood,the media,and banking (as well as some other industries) and yet are not even 2% of US citizens. Considering the Jewish background of the Ukrainian leaders today. And their alliance with Bandera elements in Ukraine. Why would you think comparing their immigrants would be so odd.I do agree with you that among non-Jewish Americans the anti-Communist hysteria of the Cold War is one of the main reasons for their Russophobia. But since most of the American Communist Party was of Jewish background. I don’t see that as a big factor with most US Jews. We also will disagree over the Russians in the USSR. The Slavs even after the slaughter of WWII made up 70% of the population there. And the “Russians” are not only East Russians. But as you should know by now being on this Blog. The West Russians (Ukrainians and Belorussians) are also “Russians”. The thinking and claims that they aren’t is a Western Russophobic trick,used by the Bolsheviks as well, to split the Russian people into their regional parts. The same as saying a Bavarian and a Rhinelander are separate peoples instead of all Germans. The early immigrants from Russia (Russian Empire lands) to Israel made up the leading elements until recently in Israel. And they set the policies for Israel.Their Russophobia was well known for the times. There was some pro-Soviet sentiment in Israel for a time. But that was based on Israeli Jewish Socialists and Communists. It wasn’t a liking for Russians,but for the Communist USSR. And by the middle 1950’s it was mostly gone. It seems to me,that you are attempting to deny,the undeniable. For what reason I don’t know for sure. Alex on July 22, 2016 · at 12:14 pm EST/EDT It is not so very esoteric: when the bulk of a population X does not hold to a particular set of beliefs, it makes little sense to call that set of beliefs “X-ist”. The bulk of Russian Jews in the face of persecution tried either to assimilate or emigrate. A minority chose to get involved in “progressive” politics (social democracy etc.) to better their lot, of whom a minority chose to get involved in radical politics (Bolshevism), of whom a minority expressed their hatred of Russia and all it had stood for vis a vis Russian Jews by playing a significant part in the more murderous of Bolshevik policies. To call this “Jewish Russophobia” is to explain very little and obscure a great deal. You flip between Russia and the Soviet Union. I said that Russians were, and felt themselves to be, a minority in the Tsarist Empire, and the Tsarist government consciously adopted policies to maintain Russian rule. And, yes, as you said, the term they used to identify themselves as those who should rule was “Great Russians” (quite why “great” but not “little” or “white”, I don’t know – my grip on Russian history is slackening with age and the death of brain cells). Similarly, with Israel. Of Russian Jews who emigrated from Tsarist Russia, one per cent went to Palestine. The “policies” of the Yishuv had little if anything to do with Russia. After 1948, and more especially from the 1960s, Israel sought the support of the US. Zionists have always been shrewd in which Great Power they exploit. This involved Israel in the Cold War manoeuvres of the US and the Soviet Union. This had nothing to do with “Russophobia”. Israel does not currently evince any “Russophobia” “Russophobia” is a portmanteau term that includes a large number of distinct historical processes. It is good for generating a sense of grievance, It is not so good for explaining how the world works. Likewise, “Jewish Russophobia”. Well of course,it is a complicated issue. But “phobia’s” against a particular race or ethnic group are always complicated.Its usually never “clear cut” on a personal level. Reports were (and used to anger the nazi leaders) that even though most Germans were Judeophpbic to some degree or other. Almost all had “that one” Jew,they liked or didn’t dislike,”Yes all the Jews are bad,except for Jacob,he’s a good guy” was pretty well a feeling among Germans of that period. But still it exists.As the American Justice said “I may not be able to define pornography. But I know it when I see it”.Its usually like that with racism or phobia’s against peoples. When you say Russians “felt” themselves to be a minority in the Russian Empire. You may mean some in the government did. But I doubt the people felt that way. As I said the “Russians” were the vast majority except in some areas. Saying “Great Russian” is a traditional way of saying the East Russians. As we would say,North Germans,being “somewhat” different from South Germans. But both groups are classed as Germans.How many reports on Germany would say (as an example only) Germans make up 60%,Bavarians 25%,and others 15% of the population. No one studying Germany would accept that. They would rightly say,”wait a minute Bavarians are Germans”. That type of falsity is allowed in the West when considering Russia. West Russians (Ukrainians,Belorussians) are no less “Russian” than East (Great Russians) are. Just as North and South Germans are still both Germans. And lastly it isn’t that the X population you mention was not holding a set of beliefs. Its that instead they “did” hold a set of beliefs. All didn’t act on those beliefs certainly. But the vast majority from all the records held them. They “feared,hated,disliked,despised,were mildly disturbed by,were nervous of,wanted separation from,”etc,etc,Russians (both East and West Russians). Of course those feelings varied in degree on an individual basis.But except for a very small number I would say those feelings were pretty universal among Jews in Russia.And I would classify that as a “phobia”. On Russian Jewish attitudes,I recommend you read “Fiddler on the Roof”.A fictional book certainly. But so is War and Peace. Yet most think that pretty well told the story and thinking of the time. I believe so did the “Fiddler” tell the intimate story of the Shtetl’s of Russia (Jewish rural towns of Russia. Where most Jews lived at the time).And explains how Jews were though of,and how they though about themselves and their neighbors. There are many “political and historical books “as well on the subject. But they usually don’t reveal what people “personally” thought about different subjects. Nope. Your latest doesn’t prompt me to any great response, you’ll be glad to hear. However, “phobia” is a bit like the lawyerly “when did you stop beating your wife”. If we accept the usage, we accept more than there is evidence for. Russian Jews in Tsarist times had reason to be less than enamoured of their neighbours. Many expressed this by emigrating or trying to assimilate (the fiends!). Many no doubt hated all things Russian (just as many who emigrated missed their homeland). Some (a small minority of the total) of those who remained took the opportunity of the emancipation effected by the Revolution to play an important part in Bolshevism. Calling this “Jewish Russophobia” and pretending it is some great force driving world history is a stretch. The Bolshevik Revolution and all that ensued is to be explained by the enmity of a small minority of the Jews who left the Pale? No-one has yet made clear why we should take this seriously. (I’m not sure why you struggle with Great Russian nationalism and chauvinism in Tsarist times. I believe it’s covered in most textbooks, as well as several monographs.) Have a look at the 1897 census. Great Russians were 44 per cent of the Empire’s population. Little Russians, 18 per cent. White Russians, 5 per cent. Perhaps you should tell the Tsarist chauvinists that they were all really Great Russians, and all those nationalists could relax about being a minority in their own empire. (Pity we can’t go back in time and tell people how misguided they were.) The “Yiddish” population, by the way, was 4 per cent (five million souls) – yet, by the simple force of their Russophobia, they managed to murder 60 million Russians… Uncle Bob 1 on July 23, 2016 · at 10:10 am EST/EDT By your figures “Russians” would be 67% of the population in a much larger Empire. But that in itself is misleading. Since the non-Russians weren’t spread evenly throughout the Empire. But were mostly congregated in the border regions. So of course like all Empires the dominant element was jealous of loosing control of the border regions. Where national minorities were local majorities. But Russian policy wasn’t much different than that found in most of Europe at the time. And in some cases much less effectively applied. Since their policy didn’t do much to change the situation. While in much of Europe regional minorities were assimilated into the national majorities.The situation of the Jews in “Russia” was mostly a “West Russian” and borderlands problem. In the major Great Russian areas very few Jews lived,compared to West Russia and other border regions. And most of the Jews living in those areas were in the large cities. While in West and borderlands Russia, Jews were heavy in the countryside as well as the cities. In close contact with the rural populations,that had centuries of hatred on both sides between them. I don’t know why you think I believed that the Jews killed 60 million Russians. Those figures are vastly inflated to start with. They also include lives lost in the wars ,revolution,and natural disasters like a famine.So whatever the lessor figure would be, it still wasn’t only Jews involved in their deaths. In-fact some of those deaths were of Jews themselves that opposed the system. But that doesn’t change the fact of Jewish involvement in the Bolshevik Revolution and aftermath. For years in the early period Jews made up a leading element in that system. And for some years (if not until the end) had the largest percentage of all the nationalities in the Party.In the early period,by far the highest percentage. I’m curious,thinking on your answer to someone else about Polish peasants not feeling kindly to Jews,blaming them for helping the nobles to oppress them.Would you consider that as Judeophobia. By most standards the Poles were considered the most antisemitic country in Europe in the pre-war period (until the nazis).Certainly Jewish organizations countlessly complained about that.But maybe you would disagree with that.Since you seem to disagree on how to define Russophobia among Jews. Maybe the Poles were unfairly considered as Judeophobic /Antisemitic,just because they mostly disliked Jews just for being Jews.It seems to me if one people can’t be blamed for having an ethnic phobia for another people.Then another shouldn’t be either. Alex on July 23, 2016 · at 11:04 am EST/EDT We’re going round in circles. The moderator is right to call time. I’ll just add a couple of comments and corrections, if I may, and then you can have the last word, if you want. We’ve spent too long on Great Russians. Recall I was simply telling you that the “Great Russian Chauvinism” you seemed to think an absurdity was actually a thing. Go read your Tsarist history again. I didn’t say you claimed Jews killed 60m Russians. You’re not that daft, obviously. Others on this thread are. You decline to take on board what I say about the more murderous of the Russian Jews among the Bolsheviks being a minority within a minority within a minority… so calling their actions “Jewish Russophobia” is simply misleading. I don’t think the hatred of Polish peasants for Jewish factors a justification for anti-semitism, by the way. Israel Shahak on diasporas and their relations with the rest of the population is interesting. He compares Jews, Greeks and Chinese. Slevkine takes up the thought and makes a grandiose and (I think) implausible meal of it, but is also interesting. There is a great deal of history to be sifted through to good effect by all sides. My point is simply that “Jewish Russophobia”as a concept does not do much explanatory work but does instil a harmful sense of righteous grievance which clouds the judgement. @ Alex Sorry, but this point is meaningless without context. “Few” compared to what? You need a non-Jewish control group to make a comparison. If one person in a thousand in my home town is a murderer that sounds like I live in a peaceful city. But if in comparable cities the murder rate is one in ten thousand the murder rate where I live is relatively high. From the point of view you seem to be arguing one would first need to survey Jewish feelings toward Russians in some statistically meaningful way. One would then need to do the same survey in a non-Jewish population. Preferably with as much in common as possible. At that point one could assess whether anti-Russian sentiment is relatively higher for Jews. I agree that simply stating that “Jews are Russophobic” or not is not a meaningfully definable statement in and of itself. I think what I’m trying to say is even simpler. I know I’m simply repeating what I said to Uncle Bob 1 – but Russian Jews in Tsarist times were at best second class citizens and at worst subject to pogroms. I doubt many enjoyed the experience or felt great warmth towards their persecutors (just as, I imagine, Polish peasants didn’t feel great warmth towards the landowner’s Jewish factor). Most Russian Jews sought to assimilate or emigrate. Some took to progressive politics. A minority of those took to radical politics and revolution. A minority of those were Bolsheviks. A minority of those took part in the more murderous activities of the Bolshevik regime. Lumping all of them together as “Jewish Russophobia” seems at best uninformative. At worst, we get the absurdity evidenced in some of the comments here: the Jews were guilty of the murder of 60m Russians – and this, we are told on the authority of Solzhenitsyn, who must be believed. There is a great deal of work to be done on the history of the Eastern European Jews and their relations with their neighbours. Someone earlier cited Yuri Slevkine, who makes too much out of a hint of Israel Shahak’s, but is at least a thought-provoking start on a fascinating subject. It is possible to do better than repeat slogans about “Jewish Russophobia”. Nussiminen on July 20, 2016 · at 7:01 pm EST/EDT My take on the subject of Western (Zionazi) Russophobia is that one needs to look at its constituent parts in general and their main driving forces in particular. Also, it’s imperative paying considerable attention to present political and economical realities which inevitably shape and change all conflicting ideological frameworks, be they secular or religious. So, what then are the constituent parts of Western Russophobia? The parenthesized expression “Zionazi” above is clearly a hint: we have a Zionist — Jewish supremacist — component at work. Its main driving force or aspiration is Russia’s colonial subjugation through usury, anti-nationalism, and infiltration of the Russian State. This is the irrefutable essence of the twin evils known as Trotskyism and Neoconservatism. Stalin purged Russia of the Trotskyists; Putin leads today’s struggle against the (somewhat wrongly named) “Liberals”, who really are mere traitors working for the Neocons. A striking difference, however, is that the Neocons did achieve their goal, although it was short-lived. Trotskyism has never achieved anything tangible anywhere. Lenin’s government held its ground against the Zionist banksters’ invading mercenaries, and Stalin saw to it that the USSR was able to eventually smash the German Nazis as well as neutralize American nuclear blackmail. Consequently, if we let George Soros represent the Zionist component of Western Russophobia, the verdict is that for all his Cultural Marxist apeshit, it is the Neocons that are his main beneficiaries. Today’s Ukraine is an excellent case in point. After all, George Soros does understand that hordes of emasculated zio-gays, while they wouldn’t mind Western genocidal frenzies against such über-lousy homophobes as the Russians, are way too pampered, lazy, and egocentric to be of any help when it really matters. Then, alongside the Zionist component just outlined, we have the Euro-American imperialist component/s already covered in Guy Mettan’s book. I don’t have much to add here except for the profound impact of the neoliberal rot of the last 30+ years. If, in the past, the Western imperialist countries were also the world’s main industrial powerhouses, they have very little to show for them today. This means that permanent looting and brigandage globally are now their only way of sustaining what they correctly proclaim as the “post-industrial society”. Hence, appropriating Russia’s colossal wealth for free against the backdrop of all-out anti-Russian genocide presents itself as a most desirable solution given the ominous power shift going on. The West has never been so hated as it is today. Its lies are becoming more scorned and reviled with each passing day, and Russia is a key part in this process. Last but not least: American Russophobia is indeed ‘Zionazi’ in the most literal sense of the word. It is a hybrid made up of Jewish supremacism and Nazi-American genocidalism. ioan on July 20, 2016 · at 8:03 pm EST/EDT Nussiminen Great comment ! Thanks An interesting review of US media on Trump’s nomination: he is a Putin agent, a Putin lapdog, a Putin puppet… The real winner is Putin… “Vladimir Putin has a plan for destroying the West—and that plan looks a lot like Donald Trump.” Most, or perhaps all the journalists spewing the hatred are Ziocons: http://russia-insider.com/en/us-regime-media-gets-its-panties-bunch-over-trumps-nato-remarks/ri15773 Oscar on July 20, 2016 · at 8:01 pm EST/EDT Just some isolated observation/s: I have a few acquaintances who consider themselves to be Jewish and all of them dispise Russia and Russians. One of them has even spent part of his childhood in Russia. I wonder why and I do not get a logical answer (from my own view). They have ie. difficulties to acknowledge to role of the Red Army in saving thousends of Jewish from the concentrations camps. One of them seemed to be happy when the Russian jet was downed by the Turks. Ezra Pound on July 20, 2016 · at 8:12 pm EST/EDT “Notorious intellectual figures like Stephen Cohen and Noam Chomsky are Jewish but they are among the harshest critics of the russophobes Neocons in Washington! I think we can find as many russophobic Jews as russophiles Jews.” Right, and the same thing applies to Americans, RCs, etc. This argument is totally specious because it ignores the fact that people are not equal, i.e., some individuals have more power than others. The non-Russophobia Jews are powerless next to the Russophobic ones. His argument is extremely poor, bordering on bad faith. To my thinking there is only one question to ask here: is Mr. Mettan Jewish? @ Ezra Pound And that is the fundamental question. Besides, there is the creeping crypto-Judaism, often paid-up, to take into account. SomeFreak on July 20, 2016 · at 8:27 pm EST/EDT “Russophobia” is a misnomer because most of the time it means not a phobia or fear but extreme hatred of Russians and/or their government (who are of course a subcategory of Russians, not some other nationality). This hatred gets started and is being forced to continue in the media, and in the education. Here is a hint for you that may (I hope) be useful: people hate (and/or fear) the Jews because they don’t know them, they don’t know what you do and as a result get paranoid and sometimes believe the worst. Concerning the Russians, the opposite is true — the more someone learns about Russia, the more Russians he personally know, the more reasons he can collect, to hate Russians. In other words, judeophobia is based on paranoia and not knowing what the Jews do, but russo”phobia” is based on hatred and on knowing what Russians do. There is just more differences than similarities between these two ideoligies, and they need to be fought differently. Although I’m not sure how each of them should be fought (if anything even should be done at all). If you my friend say, that in the education and media in the internetional Jewry, and in Israel, and in Switzerland, than I believe you, certainly you have more expreience with them than I. It’s refreshing to know that these groups don’t support EU economic sanctions on Russia, and killings of Russians, and all these other unacceptable attacks. @ Some Freak “…russo”phobia” is based on hatred and on knowing what Russians do”. You really have chosen an apt name for yourself. I could add a few more but the good MODs would save you from a verbal hiding. SomeFreak, It is best if only Jews ( former Jew in the case of Gilad) themselves answer you. ‘It is always Jewish bad behaviour that brings disaster on the Jews.’ — Gilad Atzmon former Jew and former Israeli http://www.haaretz.com/world-news/.premium-1.638334 “Sterile masses living off parasitically of the body of an alien economic body”–David Ben Gurion Zionist and First Prime Minister of Israel from Mimaamad Le’am, pg 196 “Those loathsome Jews are vomited by any healthy collective not because they are Jews but because their Jewish repulsiveness”. —Uri Zvi Greenberg , founded the Ultra-Militant Bris HaBaryonim faction. He believed the Holocaust was the– “tragic but inevitable outcome of Jewish indifference to their destiny”. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OXBuUqPndqg Time of Israel removes from the internet an article that appeared by a Jew in their own newspaper titled:”We Jews Do Own the Media” https://undertheradarmedia.wordpress.com/2012/07/19/who-controls-the-media/ At the risk of sounding… provocative, I’m still going to say it. Anything A. Hitler did was a local and internal issue, at least before the war started, any Jews he killed before the war were Germans, and he was a German. Same could be said about the civil war in Russia and in the post- civil war that ensued, it’s just Russians killing Russians (yes, some of these Russians were Jewish). It can not be underscored enough, that Germany was under economic sanctions before the second world war, which resulted in economic troubles for Germany. Same for the current, post-Communist Russia. I came to the conclusion that if a person speaks positively or in defense of anti-Russian economic sanctions, then you should treat this person as a killer. Avoid this person forever, this person cannot be your friend. The posterity will not be kind on the groups and individuals that support anti-Russian economic sanctions. This list may or may not include Israel and international Jews. How come Saker, the commenters above or even Guy Mettan himself ever even touched on the subject lf Russian Judeophobia as being the leading reason for Jewish Russophobia? Is the omission deliberate, or due to the inability to see the obvious? How about the fact that it was Russia who intruded and illegally annexed the Ukrainian territory previously controlled by Poland and then Moldova, and etc, and started the policy of gradually choking the Jewish population of the above territories? To this day, there has not been a serious study of why the hell Russia allowed itself to treat its unwilling Jewish subjects the way it did , neither any serious historical investigation of the pogroms was ever conducted. Until these questions are answered, it would be laughable and ignorant to even ask , let alone explore the question of why the Jews, particularly Russian Jews were/are so Russophobic. To paraphrase another “anonymous” writer, it would be more accurate to say that during the end of the 18-th, and throughout the 19-th century Russian imperial expansion, “The notion that in a white, recently newly doubled in size country like Russia, where heterosexual Christian/racist/supremacist/ultra-Nationalist Russian males with the egos the size of Eurasia the existence of a much smaller in size Jewish minority on the western borders of a recently illegitimately- annexed territory, was unacceptable and “offensive” . This was because according to Russian Orthodox doctrine, all the Jews were to be hated, regardless of what they do. The spiritual leaders of the Russian Orthodox church, indoctrinated Russian tzars, nobles gentry and the military to hate the Jews since cradle. The problem was not that Jews were not “liked enough”, but because with some exceptions, the above mentioned Jew hating groups of Russian society, did all in their power to strangle this Jewish community to death, but failed. “How about the fact that it was Russia who intruded and illegally annexed the Ukrainian…” That tells the level of your knowledge and, ipso facto, whatever flows from it. Kiev and the lands around it were the birthplace of the Russian nationhood. SomeFreak on July 21, 2016 · at 3:15 am EST/EDT To the first Anonymous, Because if you’re accused of a crime, of a bad action, the only excuse that can be accepted is that you didn’t commit that action. What you touched on is a very complicated and controversial subject. There is not “one answer” but many. I’m not going to “blame” either side for this.But to explain as best I can the circumstances. During the days of “Rus” when Russia,Ukraine,and Belarus,were one state. There were very few Jews in it. And those that were seemed to be mostly traders in the capitals of the provinces.There are few reports of troubles between the peoples. Next door in Poland the Kings had just opened Poland up to mass Jewish settlement.They had basically no “middle-class” and wanted to expand their trade.At the same time much of Western Europe was going through an antisemitic period. And over the years thousands of Jews settled in Poland.Shortly after that period the Poles and their allies the Lithuanians conquered vast areas of Rus. Southern Rus areas (including the areas Poland had conquered) were being constantly attacked by Tatar’s and other semi-nomadic peoples. Many Rus fled from those areas to Eastern and more Northern Rus (today’s Russia) to escape those attacks.Those areas for a hundred or more years in the South were depopulated and a “no mans land”. Where serf’s fleeing their masters,bandits on the run ,from all sides.And the occasional noblemen ,hoping to get richer by settling those lands (those groups were the first stirrings of what we now know of as the “Cossacks”). When the Poles started to gain the upper hand in the region (firearms) they started to grant giant areas of those lands to noble families. And they carved out estates,some as big as small countries.Some of those noble families were “ethnic Poles or Lithuanians”,but many of them were Rus families assimilated into the Polish culture.Today many of the noble class in Poland,if you research their roots,started out as Rus families (including a few Polish Royal families). While having the land was important. No wealth could come from it unless it was settled and producing crops.The nobles relocated many peasants from their other lands to the new lands to develop the “black earth” of the steppes.In doing that they also brought the system of having “Jewish middlemen”. The nobles didn’t usually “manage” the estates themselves. And Polish society was very stratified.Christians were nobles,soldiers,or peasants.Very few were traders or shopkeepers,doctors,lawyers,etc.And those Christians were mostly immigrants from other countries ,primarily “the Germanies”.Early on the nobles began to rely on Jews to run the estates and deal (sometimes harshly) with the peasants.The Jews ran the stores in the villages on the estates,where the peasants bartered for goods.They ran the taverns where peasants drank away their worries.They were the overseers on the estates that ordered the workload the peasants suffered. And advised the nobles when peasants “needed” punishment.From going from a land of almost no Jews,where there was little ill feeling towards them.Over a couple of centuries that changed to a land teeming with Jews. In which the contact between the Jews and non-Jews was almost always negative from the peasants (the vast,vast,majority of people there) viewpoint. At the same time a “religious” struggle among Christians was going on. I think to understand that we need to look at the society of the “Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth” as the state was known back then.When they were separate states in the earlier time. The Poles had become Catholic. But as they conquered lands in Southwest Rus (Galicia) they came to rule over an almost totally Orthodox Rus population.As their rule hardened, many of the Rus noble families adopted Polish culture. And some the Polish language (became Polish). Others ,obeyed Poland but kept their language and religion.In the larger areas of Rus conquered by the Lithuanians things started differently.The Lithuanians were “pagans” at the time. And when they conquered Rus lands they came into contact with a civilized Orthodox Christian people. Over the years many of the Lithuanian nobles settling among them adopted the Rus language and Religion (becoming in effect Rus). When the Lithuanian Grand Duke married the daughter of the Polish King he had to agree to convert the pagan Lithuanians to the Roman Catholic faith. And he became “King of Poland” as well as Grand Duke of Lithuania.Over the years the Polish and Lithuanian high nobility merged together. With the Lithuanians adopting Polish culture and language (they were already Roman Catholic,so it was easier).But the areas of Rus they held were still mostly Orthodox. That was the “age of the Counter-Reformation”.And the Poles created a separate Church as a “half-way house” to convert the Orthodox Rus to Roman Catholicism,the Uniate Church.Their thinking was if they broke their Orthodox subjects away from Orthodoxy they would slowly adopt full Roman Catholicism and the entire state would be under the religious rule of Rome.Many of the Rus nobles (though not all by far) that had remained Orthodox joined the new church.Over time many of those went on to join the actual Roman church and adopted fully Polish language and culture.Further dividing them from the vast majority of the peasant class.Not “trusting” the peasants,they turned more and more to the Jews as middlemen to carry out their wishes towards the peasants. In the major areas of old Rus that became Russia.There were very few Jews.The Christian faith in general ,of the period was anti-Jewish. Equating the Jews as Christ-killers,and not wanting any non-Christian faiths to have autonomy in those countries.In the rest of Europe they had co-existed for centuries (usually badly) with Jews. And grudgingly came to accept them as “just there”.But in the Rus lands the introduction of large scale Jewish immigration was directly related to Polish and Lithuanian rule. And it was clearly seen that way by the Rus majority.Whenever a revolt against the Poles would break out. The Jews seen as the Polish nobles “creatures” would be attacked in “pogroms” and killed or forced to flee. But as the revolts were “crushed” they would be back even more powerfully in the nobles service. This went on for a long time until much of the area of “Ukraine” rose in a great rebellion during the 1640’s and turned to Russia for protection.Many Jews were killed or fled that area. Increasing the already large numbers of Jews in the non-free areas of “Ukraine” (Russia had laws forbidding Jews to live in Russia). In the 18th Century with the Partitions of Poland,under Catherine the Great.And the annexation of Crimea (which included most of Southern and Eastern Ukraine of today),Russia found herself in control of all of old Rus. And with a very large Jewish population.Because of the laws forbidding Jews in Russia that presented the state with a huge problem.The Russian elite was an “enlightenment elite” and wasn’t necessarily anti-Jewish. But the mass of the population,having no connection with Jews. And only knowing them from what the Church taught. And from what they heard from their Rus brothers was very anti-Jewish. So to stop threats of pogroms the government ordered that Jews were only allowed to live in the “New Russian provinces” where Jews had traditionally lived.The famous (or infamous) Pale of Settlement.Its important to remember that in those days and previously “Jewish” was only a religious designation and had nothing ethnic or racial about it,that is a modern construct. If you converted to Christianity or to Judaism you became one or the other.So there were many cases of Jews joining either the Polish or Russian ethnicity by conversion over the centuries. And some cases of ethnic Poles or Russians becoming “Jews” by conversion in those days.The Tsars held hopes that in time the Jews of the “Pale” would convert and assimilate to Russian culture (a vain hope as time showed).As the 18th turned to the 19th,and then the 20th century,life became very difficult in the Pale.The hatred on both sides was strong. The Jews felt constricted and oppressed. And the Rus peasantry still saw the Jews as their oppressors.It was Western “Russia” that was the center of the “so called Jewish question”. Several big changes in Russia concerning the Jews came about in the 19th and early 20th centuries.First Jews in small numbers began to be allowed (or to do it without permission) to live in other parts of Russia (the big cities).Second,there was a mass Jewish immigration to other parts of Europe,and an even larger immigration of Jews to North America from Russia.Third,among the Jewish communities there were some that started to consider themselves as a part of Russia (the Litvak movement).And others that adopted the “new” Socialist ideas of the day.Forth,the Tsarish government seeing that many of the “agitators and radicals” causing them trouble were Jewish,began to again tighten restrictions on Jews in Russia. But by then they were faced with the outbreak of the 1905 Revolution.And the aftermath of that ended the “Pale of settlement”. And brought full civil rights for Jews in Russia.So that when WWI and later the 1917 Revolution broke out Jews made up a very large number of those fighting the Russian government through underground activities. And were leading elements in the Socialist Revolution.As some of the most numerous supporters of that revolution,they held a commanding position in the leadership for years.And made up some of the most numerous and loyal, to the new Bolshevik government ,of the “repressive ” forces.They headed,and when not heading,were still a major part of the secret police forces throughout the early USSR.In the leadership and repressive forces they were always represented way above their numbers in the population.And ever the majority in some periods of those groups.With the fall of the USSR many Jews in the USSR left the country for Israel and for the US.And many of the ex-Communist Jews that were managers in the economy became the “New” oligarchs in ex-Soviet states.. As I said,the issue of the Jews and Russia is long and complicated. I’ve just scratched the surface with this short overview. Bravo, Uncle Bob, this overview is excellent. One might add that („ethnic“) Jews were not only „represented way above their numbers in the population“ within the repressive forces, but also in the cultural, „professional“ (doctors etc.) and scientific sectors, in journalism… just as in many other countries, and always for similar reasons. One might also add that after the destruction of the CCCP many Jews also left for Germany, where a special arrangement (unlimited immigration, nearly no questions asked) had been agreed upon for this occasion – which led to the present Jewish communities in Germany now being dominated by Jews with Russian mother tongue, Russian habits and manners, Russian needs (e.g. cultural, which the Russkij Dom in Berlin does its best to fulfill with „concerts“ and groups of all sorts). If now you could make it a habit to use the Full Stop key only when it is due, and the Comma key in all other cases, it would be simply perfect. Thanks for your addictions (and kind words).And yes,I’m bad about that,sorry,but its a curse of mine,lol. As always these things are nuanced, so thanks for filling in some of the detail. My father was born in Galicia and I picked up at a young age that he didn’t have a high opinion of Jews. They were regarded as exploitative and disdainful of the peasant population is what I picked up from him. Not knowing any Jews back then it meant nothing to me, but I have learnt over time and after many of experiences, the almost inate mistrust was probably with good cause. I, though, have endeavored to understand the estrangement between Jewry and the rest of us as impartially as I can. That hasn’t always been so easy as, after living among a large Jewish community, I experienced the strong and abiding ethnocentricism that the Jews have and how that can be at the cost of the out group or goyim. And I, along with a good few disavowed Jews, have observed this as manifesting in ways that, if they were an individual, would have them locked up for the public safety. I am now, at my mature years, of the unshakeable opinion that when the Jews are working out schemes for their own collective benefit, they spell trouble for the rest of us. And the gravest danger we are in is when they control the reigns of power, when those in the highest of public office pay tribute to them, as was the case with Theresa May the day before she became Prime Minister. If I was a religious man I’d say that some powerful and dark force is working through them, like a collective anima. That also is very complicated. In those days there were “laws”, that prescribed the careers that certain groups could follow (or more importantly,”not follow”). Almost all land was owned by noble families,the crown,or the church’s. Many if not most towns and villages (even some of the few large cities) were owned by those classes of the population. The Christian peasants (probably 80%+ of the population),and the Jews, were forbidden to own land. And the peasants forbidden to be anything except peasants (unless recruited as soldiers.When a few favored ones could change their station in life,if lucky). Jews could work as merchants,estate agents,overseers on the estates,tavern keepers. And when servicing their own communities ,butchers,blacksmiths,craftsmen,doctors,lawyers,judges,and of course Rabbi’s.But only rarely could they offer those services to those not Jewish (and never Rabbinical services). The tiny Christian middle classes were made up of a “few” locals. But mostly assimilated families of foreign Christian (or converted Jewish) origin. Over time developed a “them and us” feeling among both the Jewish and Christian communities. That only began to change with the French Revolution and the reforms of the early 19th Century. But laws can be changed much easier that feelings instilled over centuries. The Jews already having experience in “middle-class” businesses,once they were opened to the entire population,came to dominate a lot of them.While most Christians were still mired in their traditional occupations (land owner,churchman,soldiers and police,ruling elements,and peasants). The reforms that opened up all careers to Jews. Also opened up those middle-class careers to Christians. And the numerous sons of Christians began to feel that the Jews monopolized the new middle-class positions in society. In some societies in Eastern Europe Jews were 60% + in many “professions”,while in Poland as an example (the highest) their population was around 8-9% of the population. That led quickly to antisemitism on one side. And further reinforced the feelings of separateness among Jews.Both feelings never far from the surface in any case.The Christians saw “the Jews” as religious enemies not loyal to the country. And the peasantry in particular saw the Jews as “exploiters”.That in the past worked for the nobles to oppress them.And now exploited them as shop keepers and local capitalists. The Jews saw the Christians as religious enemies,and the face of the “state” trying to exploit them with taxes and for bribes. And saw the peasantry as a mob always ready to kill them given any excuse.That period also saw the rise of Socialism sweeping Europe. And while many in both communities embraced it. Percentages by far of Jews became Socialist (Socialism preached equality,easily very attractive to the Jews in Eastern Europe at that time). As you mentioned Galicia,it was one region where those feelings in the communities were the highest. It was the region of Poland (at that time) with the highest number of Jews,and the poorest region in the state).Both communities were well known for immigration ,to hopefully avoid poverty. I saw a Polish movie a while ago that inadvertently brings out on a personal level what you mentioned. The story was about a Polish Jewish boy trying to avoid capture by the nazi death squads.Some Poles helped him,and he pretended to be Polish. One Polish helper was trying to get him to a safer spot. And asked a Polish fisherman with a row boat to row the boy downstream to another area. The fisherman agreed. And during the trip the boy offered the fisherman part of a sandwich he had to eat. The fisherman said ” since when did you people get so generous. Are you sure you are Jewish”.The man was willing to help the boy to live. But the traditional dislike for “Jews” as exploiters was still there. While of course just a film. I think it mirrored the general feelings of the common people of that time pretty well. Jews were persecuted throughout all their history right from the city of Ur – evra/hebra = “those who crossed the river”, ancient Egypt and Babylon, if one believes their story, Roman Empire, medieval Spain, England, France, to 20-th century Germany, Poland, Hungary, Italy etc. Many of those much more violent and severe than Russian one. Even in Canada some 60 years ago there were signs “Forbidden for dogs and jews”. So, why russophobia/hatred and not hispanophobia, anglophobia, francophobia etc.? WizOz on July 22, 2016 · at 12:03 am EST/EDT A tsunami of BS. Typical. Adi on July 20, 2016 · at 9:35 pm EST/EDT In 1989 I overheard a conversation between two romanian doctors and two jewish doctors in a medical institute cafeteria, a conversation which I will remember all my life. One of the jewish doctors was saying something like this : ” You know, we jews educate our children to hate others and you educate your children to love, that’s why we get a competitive edge. Hate gives you energy, hate mobilises, hate makes you more competitive and wanting to overcome your opposition. Love makes you week and lazy.” I remembered over the years this jewish doctor’s opinion about hate and it fits a pattern. It seems that, for jews, hate is an intelectual energiser, an intelectual “Red Bull energy drink”. In our present time we witnessed Iran-phobia, with crazy mullahs and iranian terrorists all over the world ready to strike at any minute. We witnessed Irak-phobia, with Saddam Hussein being the second coming of Adolf Hitler. We witnessed the Islamo-phobia and the invention of the term Islamo-fascist. When we analyse these phobia’s origin we always find a little jew working over-time. So it is my opinion that there is only one russophobia and that is jewish russophobia, because these is jewish modus operandi. You can’t find this in China. The chinese may have a hostile atitude towards the japanese, but not a japanese-phobia. All the other russophobias are opportunistic russophobias, where others catch the disease from the jews trough ignorance, fear or opportunism. @ Adi “Hate gives you energy, hate mobilises, hate makes you more competitive and wanting to overcome your opposition.” (Jew doctor) My son played soccer for his high school and I attended at all games. When they played against a jewish school everyone was shocked by the violence the young jews displayed on the field, the way they harassed opposition players and referees. Some parents from our school took their sons off the game and the impression we got about the jews was extremely negative and then I understood why they were generally disliked and banned from many countries in Europe. I had experienced the same displays of chutzpah in Romania, much, much earlier and on a larger segment of the Jewish population. Waqas on July 20, 2016 · at 10:36 pm EST/EDT With this reasoning one can say that not all Nazi Germans were against Jews! Serbian girl on July 21, 2016 · at 12:52 am EST/EDT Well said. Interestingly, this faulty (in my opinion) logic is only applied to the jewish group, not to the others. WAQAS ZIA on July 21, 2016 · at 3:03 pm EST/EDT Singh on July 20, 2016 · at 11:05 pm EST/EDT How can you say this when crores (1 crore = 100 lakh 1 lakh= 1,00,000) of Russians were murdered by Jews under the USSR? Action speak louder than words/writing which jews are nevertheless, good at manipulating. chimmy on July 20, 2016 · at 11:47 pm EST/EDT I’m not entirely sure that I want to weigh in on this one. But maybe Jews are non-existent. There are people, to be sure, who look to their spiritual heritage through the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. And then there are people who adopt a label, an identity to christen their tribalism. Finally, there are those on the outside who use the label to point to the tribalism. Michel van Dijk on July 21, 2016 · at 4:07 pm EST/EDT I am glad you did. Vor on July 21, 2016 · at 1:13 am EST/EDT I usually refrain from commenting on topics concerning Jewish matters because I can not be bothered with the controversy it usually – well always – invokes. I will say this though. When talking about ‘Jews’ & anything associated, it would not be a bad idea to qualify who & what ‘Jews’ are. I say that because all ethno/cultural/national – basically collective & communal identities are social constructions, which is not to say they are artificial, I absolutely reject the argument of anti-nationalists that all national identities are essentially fake & therefore illegitimate. My point is that these are extremely complex matters & Jews are an extremely broad ranging category of people if one considers the entirety, where do Ethopian Jews fit into the picture? What, if any, distinctions are their in the attitudes of Sephardic to Ashkenazi Jews were Russians & Slavs are concerned? My own understanding of northern European Jewry is that we are talking in the main people who are of the same descent as the majority society in the countries in which they live, meaning that German Jews are/were essentially German – if we accept there is such a thing as a ‘German.’ I am aware of some genetic studies that have been undertaken which apparently trace Ashkenazi Jewish origins to the Caucausus, thus adding fuel to the theory about Khazars, but I have not looked into this enough to comment on its validity. My understanding is that the evolution of Judaism as a religion in northern Europe, that is Europe north of the Alps, is that it was very closely related to restrictions on certain practices within the Chrisitian church, such as usury, which is where the stereotype of Jews as ruthless moneylenders originates from. Apparently, some of the most infamous & notorious ‘elite’ Jewish families such as the Oppenheimers & Rothschilds practised Christianity for generations as the religion of their ancestors, whilst proclaiming themselves as ‘Jews’ in order to engage in financial business & become integrated into a freemason type network. Some commentary I’ve read over the years claims that Judaism in northern Europe was essentially a masonic sect in its early incarnation. This may all seem a bit speculative, my point is this, there are Jews, & there are Jews, & there are vast differences between them. The Jews we know as the wealthy banking dynasties are essentially a masonic type network, but their ethnicity is essentially a combination of Anglo-German. This is important for those who wish to gain a clear idea about who really runs/rules the world & is there a secret cabal, Jewish or otherwise? My answer to this would be that there most certainly is a cabal, & in the main it is made up of the nobility & aristocracy of north-western European origin, i.e. Anglo-German & that its Jewish component is a specific branch related to finance & essentially of Anglo-German descent itself. This group is extremely Russophobic as with the remainder of their Anglo-German or Nordic network, for the simple reason that Russia has always presented an obstacle to their total domination of the world, in addition to representing a different civilization model based around the Orthodox church, which they wish to destroy. There’s also one more thing to bear in mind, Jews are absolutely used as exponents of power, & basically set up to be hung out to dry if & when the s##t hits the fan. Again, that is not to say that there really is a powerful network of wealthy Jewish bankers, but these are the ones we always hear about, like the Rothschilds, as if they were the only ‘elite’ family out there with vast power & wealth & influence. You don’t here so much about the Harriman family, or the Astor family, or the Russell family, & it goes on & on. It always strikes me to what extent Jews are set up to take the flack, & that means that that is the deal, they are supposed to take the flack. Like Soros, who is now notorious throughout the world. I remember in the 90s when he was heavily involved in anti-Serbian subversion in ex-Yu & no one but the Serbs had heard of the guy, now everyone has heard of him, but he is an exponent for sure. Ali on July 21, 2016 · at 2:12 am EST/EDT Hi Vor, your understanding mirrors mine! For me, Eustace Mullins’ discussion with Bobby Lee left that working hypothesis with me till this very day: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2h_V-ARe_nE Though wacky at times, Eustace mentioned a very important term in that video-hofjuden. Which means court Jews that serves a higher power, e.g. mornachs and nobilities. mhouston on July 21, 2016 · at 3:00 am EST/EDT I think what he was trying to say was that the jews had no “INTENT” to show or project russophobia…..and with that we cannot find any historians that could successfully….. J'aurice Moly on July 21, 2016 · at 3:06 am EST/EDT Ok, I‘ll also try, like so far only Nussiminen, it seems, and only in his first paragraph, to sort out the problem/s in a systematical way: The Guy-Mettan-problem. The Jewish problem. The antisemitic problem. The world problem with Jews, antisemites and guys like Taguieff or Mettan and with the fact that neither the Jews nor their enemies (not to speak of their friends, supporters, sabbat goys) were able to solve our world problems so far. Guy Mettan, according to his biography in the web, is so main stream and politically correct that it would be unfair to expect to read anything non mainstream and politically correct from him. Do you want to ruin him? To lose the support of you know who? He lives in one of the richest countries of the world and is one of its rulers, and has to be in harmony with his surroundings (beware, Guy, someone wants to bomb a nice swiss family living in Zug. See http://benjaminfulfordtranslations.blogspot.de/2016/07/english-benjamin-fulford-19072016-full.html. Don‘t visit them the evening they‘ll be bombed, will you?). He even adopted a Russian girl, just like the great russophile and führer into the war against Yugoslavia and with all that best friend of Vladimir Putin‘s, Gerhard Schröder. Did Schroeder get the RU citizenship, too, for that? As rückversicherung? Rülps. Now… now it seems better to solve the antisemitic problem first. An antisemite is everybody who does not endorse everthing the Jews do, did, will do or could do and could or should have done and/or does not accept the universal truth (the constant) that the number is six million, not one less etc. So, everybody here (except Guy Mettan) is an antisemite. And thus a problem for the Jews and the Politically Correct. My problem with you guys is the liberal (!) use you make of the definite article plural, which in english happens to be „the“: THE Jews did… did not… did THEy? why did THEy? and so on in eternity. For example, Anonymous at 14:41UTC: „…most jews are heavily indoctrinated…not all jews are bad of course …but many jews are victims too pretty elaborate and extremes methods of developing ethnocentric behavior.“ – Some of you antisemites point out when you feel like it that „before WW II there were 15 mln Jews, and after 16 mln“ or similar… So, there may be 20 mln Jews today? Then you, Anonymous, pretend you know for sure that at least 10.000.001 Jews „are heavily indoctrinated that they are a constant victim and everyone alse are constant perpetrators.“ Fine, if you know that for sure, but what is your source? Did you speak with all of them? One thing I learned about Jews (truth or not) is that they tend not to be too stupid. They seem to anger us most by employing their intelligence for projects we wish they had never touched – but not for ruining every great thing by being just too brainless to support it. Are they really poor victims? Not only of the nazis but also of bad propagandists who then must be a force exterior to jewishism? How come, then, that the MSM are also Jewish? Are the Jews victims of the Jews? Wouldn’t it then be the best antisemitic strategy to wait until all the one Jews victimized all the other Jews? Or this gentleman apparently from that nation that in the XVIIIth s. AD prided itself to be the most intelligent on Earth, on 15:05UTC: Yes stealing is not what God expects us to do, and when Russkies or Germs do it (at the same moment, within the same complot between the Germ rulers of three empires), Gd‘s punishment is that among what they grabbed is Gd‘s own people, and while they were ordinary, positive citizens of the Rzecz Pospolita (the Polish „Common Cause”/Commonwealth), they are stolen wealth in Russia and Prussia, and do not resent it at all, but practice their knowledge under the changed circumstances – which the thieves, as they suddenly remark after 200years, are not too happy about: „Since then Russia has been trying hard to assimilate the Jews with some limited success..“ – aw yes, stealing is a mistake, after all, who would have thought it (and the brave Jews who stole Palestine widely outside its UN-guaranteed borders? Were punished in the same way by their Gd, by suddenly making them the owners of hundreds of thousands of non-jews who have nothing better to do but to annoy them!) Now, Jean: „ It seems that those which participate in the bolchevik revolution and even under Stalin did enjoyed killing Russian and Ukrainians. I think those ones could be accused of Russo-phobia.“ I see that you studied the history of The Great Socialist October Revolution and that of the Great Patritotic War, and thus came to know (what I know not since I spent my life on other studies) that there never was any command chain in Soviet Russia and the CCCP, but that everybody was free to do what they liked best. The Jews, of course, with their inborn russophobia, wanted most to kill off a maximum number of pure blooded Russians (but never anyone of any other nationality of that great and big country), and did just that. Oops, plus pure-blooded Ukrainians. And no-one else. I did not study the subject as well as you did, but now I am sure that the secret archives of the KGB, should they ever be opened, will reveal just that: during the Revolution, during the Purges, during the Hunger, during the War, only pure blooded Russkies and Ukros had to suffer while everybody else had nothing to fear, and prospered without limits. Great! Obviously, if all of this was exactly so, it was and is a smashing proof of Jewish russophobia! Now the Jewish problem, my version. I never met THE jews, only a small number of them in real life, and some more in books. There was a time when I wondered why all authors worth reading were Jews (meaning everybody having at least one drop of Jewish blood within them, which excludes them from being pure-blooded… and could open the question why such people are called necessarily “Jews“ and not after all the other drops of blood they may possess)? Is this a Jewish plot, making everybody else look stupid, unable to write the smallest text that makes sense, is well written, interesting, AND sells well? Obviously, it is. Then how come that such nice and superior people do such nasty and unworthy and dirty and criminal things as Soros does, or as Frau Albright does, or as Frau Hunover does, or as Frau „Merkel“ does, or as the MoSSad does day in and day out? My handmade ad hoc explanation is along the same lines as offered here, but with a twist. In my experience and view, Jews tend to be everywhere AND intelligent AND active AND indoctrinated with a lot of stuff they may reject, so that they are not steered by it, but which they still remember, so that they are still influenced by it. If a nasty and unworthy and dirty and criminal intelligence looking for collaborators for their nasty etc plans meets such people, they will be inclined to try to use them, and trying it check different possibilities, finding some that do not work while others work. In my understanding of the Jewish problem a casual appeal to „show it to them“, to play the others a prank, will be much more successful than a teutonicly perfect indoctrination. In short, real evil powers will find a way to steer anybody – but rarely this makes sense and is worth the effort. With average Jews, however, you, the devilish seducer, can be sure that whatever they accept as a thing to try and to do will be done intelligently, effectively AND around the whole world in no time, since they are so bloody cosmopolitan. Thus, you find them everywhere, the visible ones in positions of influence (a tautology, but applicable only to those it applies to). And since the real nasty intelligences that want to ruin everything worthwile want to ruin Mother Russia first, their most intelligent and most influential helpers, assets, murderers tend to be Jews, too. Among sworn communists, bolsheviks, commissars (who only ever killed pure blooded Russians, vide supra, and never did anything else) as well as among sworn communism haters, capitalists and executioners for capitalism. Excellent musicians tend to be Jews, too, a conspiracy against everyone in music without talent. In science, too…. aw my Gd! That being said, just some more remarks about the World Problems not related to Nibiru, but with the same goal of destroying our world we are used to and like to some extent. It seems to me that good folks like you and me always had troubles with nasty guys above us. But only during the last times are they proceding in a very systematical way so that we can recognize patterns in their dealings. These patterns have been explained on the Internet in general and in detail: a certain party wants to rule the whole world alone, wants to kill 90% of us and steal not only everyting these 90% leave behind, but also everything the remaining 10% had, using them as their slaves who make their, the conspirators, lives comfortable. That party of outspoken would be mass murderers are together a World Conspiracy (WC), and nothing we know about it and repeat day-in day out proves that this is especially and only a Jewish WC (as certain people claim). Those that do the doing (with at least silent submission, with absence of adequate resistance)- nearly all Americans, and especially their representatives and officials for the use of weapons etc., likewise nearly all the english plus their 5 Evil Eyes, but also nearly all Germans, all French (some go to protest meetings, but they are all irrelevant as long as they don‘t do what the Jewish cmmissars did in Russia) – all those belong to different nationalities, religions etc, but it is not at all clear and proven that they are all Jewish and do their WC for achieving genuine, typical Jewish goals. No, there is a WC which aims at destroying nearly all of us, and uses everybody who agrees to cooperate, and most do. „Hitler“ was a famous „antisemite“, but he was a Jew, and he did what he did within the framework of an english plan for the submission of the Middle East (through a bridgehead of useful idiots, Jews, as instruments not masters of that plan), which, however, is a repetition of the same planning and acting 900 years earlier, whose first deed in the conquered territory was to burn alive all Jews they could find, which our nobles of the purest European blood did as a matter of course. Shorter: someone rules us and ridicules and damages us, and launches everybody against everybody; in that simple explanations are used: „See? THEY are against YOU, so YOU must be against THEM! Now, Go! Analyzing situations precisely and speaking about that in a precise manner seems to me one first step in disabling the WC‘s abilities to reach their goals by indoctrinating and thereby steering everybody else. vot tak on July 21, 2016 · at 3:09 am EST/EDT “That’ s why it is possible to speak of an American russophobia, which is largely spread in the media” “The media”, does this guy mean the western msm, you know, those guys who are owned and run by zionist Jews and who absolutely refuse to allow any pov that conflicts with their propaganda themes? So these israeli loyal sods are not Russophobic Jews? And why would an industry which is essentially israeli loyal throughout persist in Russophobia if this was against the interests of israel? @ The Saker Fellowship I have refrained from joining in because you are giving such good account of yourselves in demolishing Mr. Mettan’s fallacies and my comments would be repetitive and otiose. Obviously the topic has irked a raw nerve and, in spite of our generous disposition and magnanimity towards all races, there is a particular Chosen variety that has endured more than any other in our perception of evilism. History has spoken and its verdict pronounced often enough that the Jewish race and its Zionist ideology is averse to a humanistic conception of man. The author says that Russian jews are as Russian as any other ethnic group in the country and equates that to the Swiss experience where three linguistic groups (I would add another one) are a model of harmonious co-existence. Well, that’s reduction ad absurdum and requires no further argument. Mr. Mettan, the Jews are Jewish first and foremost wherever they are. Nightingale on July 21, 2016 · at 4:12 am EST/EDT Thank you Kim, this is a sniper like observation! I’m just glad so many people here refused to swallow the poison served to them by the zionists media, their fake institutions and their fake “pretend to be humanist” culture. Whatever they touch (through their proxies solders) turns into death and destruction. Babushka in Oz on July 21, 2016 · at 6:13 am EST/EDT Nightingale and Kim Spot on and totally agree. Just look at the number of murdered Romanov’s (under orders and at the hands of Jewish Bolshevik regime) that I posted on the last cafe. “the Jews are Jewish first and foremost wherever they are.” 100 % correct you are and then some! I have been reading this blog for years and this is the first time I am inclined to comment. Not only because Mr. Mettan has been kind enough to adhere to a “debate”, but also because this essay touches on a very interesting topic. I have not read the book (just Saker´s review on it) and I have no knowledge or experience in this particular issue. What I do know is about manipulation, logic, and argumentation theory. The truth is, leaving out an entire “class” from study because “some people” in that “class” do not fill the requirements to be labeled as “russophobic” is as valid an argument for any other “class” that was indeed addressed. Furthermore, on the assumption that Mr. Mettan is an intellegent person, this can only be attributed to fear, self preservation, the intent to publish, or bad faith. Should I consider Mr. Mettan a lesser brain, than for sure many other reasons could be pointed out but wasting our time with it would be futile. Considering the purpose of this essay would be to call the attention to the issue of russophobia, as well as considering that most Russian authors are discounted for the MSM, it stands to be true that Mr. Mettan might well be considered an authority on this issue. Therefore, it is my opinion, that Mr. Mettan’s essay, inadvertently or not (I will not judge the merits on that) stands to serve other causes more than it does the Russian one. For I can only imagine in relation to this topic Mr. Mettan being quoted everywhere as saying “there is no jewish russophobia”. Everything else is just meaningless. And it does more harm than good to the Russian cause. Whether it be intentionally or not, the “results” of this essay can be interpreted two ways: 1. Russophobia exists; 2. There is no jewish Russophobia. I’ll let you think for yourselves which purpose you think this essay will serve. What I do know is it is a prime target for textbook manipulation. Acknowledge the problem, divert the causes… The embarrassed (short of pathetic) response of Mettan reinforces my suspicion that the main thrust of his book is precisely to exculpate the Jews of their role in the tragic history of “Russian” Revolution. He cannot abstain from peddling the meme that the Jews are the principal victims of the invented “phobias”. “In my view, such a Jewish russophobia has never existed and still does not exist today.(BS1) Jewish russophobia… in my view this is not relevant.(BS2) In conclusion, considering the history of the XXth Century, judeophobia is certainly the worst phobia, the most cruel one, whatever we can think about Jews and the politics of the State of Israel against Palestinians.” (BS3 to infinity). “I don’t share the views of the Russian writers or authors who have raised the question of the Jews in Russia. That’s an internal debate. I tried to read Chafarevitch but I could not understand what his problem was.” Without trying to pick holes, but “Chafarevitch” is another giveaway. He never read anything that Shafarevich (who actually had coined the term ‘Russophobia’ and is the ‘bête noire’ of the anti-antisemites) wrote (I wonder whether he knew who Shafarevich was). The French spelling of his name indicates where his ‘information’ comes from (Vladimir Vladimirovich Posner, the son of Vladimir Solomonovich Pozner, a well known “public anti-fascist, and militant Jewish communist” – a rather central figure in the ‘antifascist, cominternist, trotskyist’ sewer, but who sported himself as part of “russkie evrei”, and at the same time a member of the spy-ring of Alexander Rado “Dora”, which operated from Switzerland, btw). Solomon Vladimirovich Pozner was a historian and emancipationist, cum ‘revolutionary’ (hailed as “the greatest Russian Jew and a great Russian citizen”) who fled Russia to France ‘because of the pogroms’ after the Revolution of 1905. But one may wonder why this book was issued now. My suspicion is that it is part of the subtle reorientation of Israel towards Russia. Hey, we were always friends, haven’t we? It would suggest that really Russia is now calling the shots in the ME swamp. “Prominent politicians like Avigdor Lieberman are not anti-Russian”, are they? gT on July 21, 2016 · at 4:18 pm EST/EDT Agreed, Mettans’s response is suspiciously devoid of any intellectual substance and depends instead on kindergarten logic about ‘we can find as many russophobic Jews as russophiles Jews’, etc. Since Mettan obviously has brains, yet his response to the Jewish Russophobia question does not display any, there must be some ulterior motive at work here. Kassandra on July 21, 2016 · at 7:45 am EST/EDT Jewish Russophobia? Nothing personal, just business. Mr Reynard on July 21, 2016 · at 9:26 am EST/EDT Quote: Guy Mettan: Jewish russophobia has never existed and still does not exist today ?? Just to confirm this, ..It was the Irish commissars who genocides 60 millions Russians ?? As well the Russophobic western press is owned by Russophobic Irish ?? Oscar on July 21, 2016 · at 9:43 am EST/EDT The current media MSM hunt of Russian athletes? Who is behind that? Who is behind global MSM? Surely ad hominem arguments aren’t “by definition non sequiturs” – Is there not a form of ad hominem that takes the opponent’s own premises and demonstrates that they imply a conclusion the opponent does not accept. There is a form of argument frequently used here: There are some Jews who hate some Russians, therefore there is “Jewish Russophobia”. This might just be word inflation. But it has the appearance of guilt inflation. “Some” Jews hate some Russians (“some” Jews were leading Bolsheviks and the Bolsheviks killed lots of fellow Russians), so Jews are to blame for whatever bad things happened to Russians. There are some Russians hate some Jews – this is as probable as some Jews hating some Russians (there may even be some Russians hate all Jews), therefore there is “Russian Judeophobia”. Can that be right? I think the whole discussion of „russophobia“ is wrong (whether Mettan‘s book is a masterpiece or not) because any „-phobia“ worth speaking of is a state one cannot help falling into, or, according to wikipedia, „a type of anxiety disorder, usually defined as a persistent fear of an object or situation the affected person will go to great lengths to avoid, typically disproportional to the actual danger posed. If the feared object or situation cannot be avoided entirely, the affected person will endure it with marked distress and significant interference in social or occupational activities“. Phobyists avoid their phobic subject while the scum Russia and her friends have to deal with rejoice immersing themselves into it like children in a mud battle. Those preaching (as against „suffering from“) russophobia are sane or insane, but healthy and sly persons who preach others nonsense for earning money or other rewards, not different in principle from selling toothpaste. Yes, Kassandra: „Nothing personal, just business“.The yardstick for their questionable sanity is not whether the propaganda sham they preach is the truth (by definition: not) or not, but what they are doing to themselves with being aw so sly. There is a story by Bert Brecht (unfortunately only partially remembered) about a very sly boy. Applying his slyness he managed to get in the possession of a golden ring, which lawfully belonged to others. These others then joined forces to get the ring back by beating the boy up so much that he was about to die. But while life was leaving him he was so sly that he found a way to stay in possession of that ring even then: he swallod it. At which the story stops but in reality probably continued with his body being denied a decent funeral, and instead being slit up for getting that ring, after which it may have been simply thrown on a garbage dump. Pandos on July 21, 2016 · at 2:09 pm EST/EDT That is “Some” hallway your mind wanders around in. I think it unlikely that “Some” day you will ever get to a conclusion. … you find comfort in arriving at a conclusion whether sound or otherwise? This isn’t rational. So what do you rely on in arriving at your irrational conclusion? Keith Leal on July 21, 2016 · at 1:12 pm EST/EDT OF COURSE! There are never any Jews “THERE”. Regarding Jews and Bolsheviki , in two words : Samuel, Shmuel , Ginsberg , a.k.a.

Its just happens to be that Mrs.Kagan aka Nudelman was the force behind the coup,its just happens to be that jewish neocons want war with Russia over Ukraine,it just happens to be that all important political figures in Ukraine behind the madness are jews.Right sector (((nazis))) are even going to Israel for their rehab…but thats just …muh holocaust…! Vincent on July 21, 2016 · at 3:57 pm EST/EDT I am a bit disappointed by the answer of M. Mettan, as some of the arguments developed are fairly weak. Let’s take the first one : there are as many high-profile Jewish figures for Russia than there are against Russia. This is an assertion that is not backed by hard figures and also does not match with our experience. We could as well say that there many high-profile American figures which are russophiliac (even Donald Trump !). I could say that, in France, many of our politicians are sympathetic to Russia. Philippe de Villiers, Nicolas Sarkozy, Marine Le Pen. In Germany, you have Sigmar Gabriel, Frank-Walter Steinmeier. But it would be naive to say that, despite those names, russophobia doesn’t exist in all those countries. Further, I disagree with Mettan’s assertion that russophobia is well-entrenched at all levels of society. Talking from France, my impression is that a) the vast majority doesn’t really care about geopolitics, and views Russians neutrally, with a fair share of clichés (e.g. hard-drinking and vodka-swilling), but without any active hatred. For the rest, I would dare to say that among regular folks the Russia sympathizers nowadays far outnumber the Russia-haters. Russophobia, true red-hot russophobia, seems confined to small circles of powerful people who, by virtue of theirs controlling vast swathes of the media landscape, manage to influence the general public but, at best, create only a general dislike, not the kind of active hatred you need to really go to war. Considering a fact widely pointed at by others, i.e. the very high percentage of Jewish people among those circles of power most actively engaged against Russia, it becomes very hard to dismisse Jewish russophobia, at least to dismiss it as hastily as M. Mettan does here. I find especially the last part of M. Mettan’s intervention disappointing, a real non-sequitur. What’s the point in mentioning in the end Jewish suffering and the tragic toll of judeophobia ? I don’t see what this has to do in this context. Unicorn on July 21, 2016 · at 6:30 pm EST/EDT Today people in the West when they speak about nations mean countries and governments. While people in Russia speaking of any nation mean the nationality (which can be described in this way: a family – a group of related families (clan or kin) – union of clans (kins) – nation). That is why we (in Russia) do not understand the West, for whom any nation is just something like a flat in a block of flats. Today “I” live in this “flat” (and “block of flats”), tomorrow – in another “building” (i. e. country). So “my” nationality from the western point of view is equal to my current place of residence. That is why it seems to me that Guy Mettan just cannot understand what The Saker is talking about here… Alexandre on July 21, 2016 · at 7:42 pm EST/EDT The argument is against the realitity. Jewish are not the Israel state, Colombian are not the Colombia state, and russians are not Russia state, but Israel state had inside or togheter Ucranian coup, by means of the secure services and Donbass War.

__label__cc	0.50377	0.49623	Topiary in the United Kingdom British Topiary Gardens Listing gardens in Great Britain with significant topiary Gardens by County National Trust Gardens Growing Topiary How to Grow Topiary Which Plants to use? Belton House Grantham, Lincolnshire, NG32 2LS Grantham is probably best known for two people. Margaret Thatcher whose father owned a corner shop there and was known as Alf Roberts. (Those of a particular generation will remember Alf Roberts in the scorner shop of Coronation Street and those that don’t will think I am mad). More importantly by far in world terms it is the birthplace of Sir Isaac Newton (See Britain Unlimited for more information). If you are coming up the A1 from the Peterborough direction you will go through the town centre to Belton so look out for Newton’s statue outside the Town Hall. View of the upper terrace The grounds of Belton House are massive and many families bring their children there to play without going into the formal gardens or house. Seasoned Trust goers will avoid school holidays if they can. The ticket office is in a hut and then you have to go across the main track where cars exit and enter to get to the gardens so keep your wits about you. There is a strategically placed cafe in a new building before you get there so many people fall at the first hurdle. For the topiary enthusiast who has more stamina the entrance to the gardens is past the toilet block. Grand central path from the house through the Dutch Garden The formal garden entrance brings you in at the side of the house and then you are transported to a different world. The house has a pleasing symmetry and the stone has weathered to a beautiful browny-grey colour. I often think there is no point building a new house out of local stone as you need to live to to over two hundred years old to appreciate its weathered qualities. For the architecturally aware the house was built between 1685 and 1688 for the lawyer Sir John Brownlow in the Restoration or Carolean style (named after King Charles the Second). There is a grand central path with leads down form the middle of the house which accentuates the symmetry even more. View of Belton House from the rear One of the nice features at Belton is the terrace by the house. This is raised high enough to get at good view down and over the topiary in the Dutch Garden. If you can afford lots of stone an gravel it may be a feature you might want to adopt at home (on a slightly reduced scale!) but I would advise against wooden boarding or decking. Although this was all the rage a few years ago after a certain make-over programme on the television featuring Alan Titchmarsh they can be difficult for two reasons. They can get very slippery during wet weather and many people have found that vermin like to nest in the comfy space underneath. The main focus for the topiary specimens is the Italian Garden to the side of the Dutch Garden. It was de rigour for the aristocracy to go on the Grand Tour during the eighteenth century and seeing the gardens round the ancient sites of Italy inspired formal gardens back at home. This of course was after the Landscape Movement with the likes of Lancelot “Capability” Brown ripping the early topiary out to give the impression of rolling hills. As I have said before on numerous occasions if you wan to see an original topiary garden which survived the landscape “barbarians” then you must travel to Levens Hall in Cumbria. The Italian Garden at Belton consists of fastigiate yew cones and large box balls interspersed with a few standard shapes. In the centre is a grand circular pool with stone urns dotted around at strategic intervals. Now I’ve seen many an orangery at various houses but the formal palladian style of the one at Belton is magnificent with plenty of glass and topped by finials. Again there is a terrace at the orangery end so that you can look down slightly onto the the Italian Garden to get the full effect. Go inside. It has a variety of succulents, if that is your bag but don’t try and shelter from the hot sunshine, as we did, otherwise you will roast. Fleur de Lys shapes in low cut box There are many yew hedges around the formal gardens and at the extreme edges they have been allowed to grow to a massive extent so that children (or adults) can explore inside to see what tales they have to tell. There are also interesting quirky bits of planting like the flour de lys motif of box which is picked out by white gravel. To the east of the Italian Garden are what are known as the pleasure grounds. (Who knows what those eighteenth century aristocrats got up to away from prying eyes inside the house). There you will find the east lawn and beyond it a new box tree maze which was planted in 2000 after the original one became overgrown. Circular pool with topiary specimens arranged around the edges in a classical style The flour de lys motif is situated in a glorious walled garden section made of red brick and there is a quintessential english church framed behind. Throughout various parts of the garden there are seasonal plantings in the border which will excite the non topiary enthusiast and make it worthwhile to visit the gardens over several seasons. Belton Parish Church near the grounds of Belton House Incidentally the guide brochure given out at the ticket office describes the full walk around the pleasure gardens and formal gardens as being 3 kilometres. I have translated this into english for you as 1.85 miles which at a normal walking pace would take 20 minutes. Mind you you never walk in a straight line in gardens so you could easily double that and some people like to stop and stare so the time is immaterial . Give Belton plenty of time or better still go back several times.
