Studio West & The Recording Arts Center

Studio West
Embarking on a new career can be a daunting task, especially when it involves diving into a high-energy, high-profile one such as audio engineering. But switching up careers later in life is something that seemed like a “no-brainer” to several audio enthusiasts after taking part in the Electronic Production Package (EPP) at Studio West.
Like their fellow classmates, these students initially enrolled in the EPP program as a fun way to expand their skills in what seemed like an after-work hobby. However, once involved in the program, what started as a hobby soon began looking more like a viable career option.
“Oftentimes we see some of the more casual enthusiasts enter the program with the idea that this is for fun or good for a side business. But once they start working with our instructors, getting hands-on engineering experience in a working recording studio, we see a shift in focus. Folks with a regular 9-to-5 job they aren’t 100% invested in realize that their passion can be turned into a viable career,” explained Todd Hunsaker, Director of Admissions for The Recording Arts Center (TRAC) at Studio West.
Todd explained further, “When the class is over, the next logical step to launch a career in the industry is to acquire more experience and get the in-depth training that can lead to a successful career in audio engineering. Many find this in our year-long Diploma program.”
One student, Isaiah, finished the EPP program last month and immediately enrolled in the Diploma Program. His classes began on Monday, and he couldn’t be more thrilled about his choice. “It was so much fun working a real recording studio. I’m really excited about my decision to start the full program!”

Miss South Africa is Miss Universe 2019
AMPS Corporate
South Africa’s Zozibini Tunzi was crowned Miss Universe Sunday, December 8, 2019 which was held at Tyler Perry’s Studios in Atlanta, Ga. She is a passionate activist and engaged in the fight against gender based violence. She has devoted her social media campaign to changing the narrative around gender stereotypes. She is a proud advocate for natural beauty and encourages women to love themselves the way they are.
Tunzi was asked a question on social issues and the last change to explain why she deserves to be Miss Universe. Her response was, “I grew up in a world where a woman who looks like me — with my kind of skin and my kind of hair — was never considered to be beautiful,” she said in her last response. “I think it is time that that stops today. I want children to look at me and see my face and I want them to see their faces reflected in mine.” Watch her speech https://twitter.com/i/status/1203925969913950210
Miss South Africa / Miss Universe 2019 said, “I came into this competition with my natural hair as a symbol of my firm belief in fair representation. I hope I have inspired people and to insert themselves in spaces where they feel that people like them do not belong.” @zozitunzi

Cannibalism: should it be condemned in survival situations? i.e if you were lost at sea and starving would you kill and eat your fellow sailor?
I am doing an essay on laws surrounding cannibalism and I need people's opinions on if they think it should be condemned and if so to what extent?
by lolafeb9 3 hours ago

No. I would not kill unless it was self defense. But I might eat them if they died on their own under those circumstances.
The main two issues you have are rationality vs survivability. Most people in survival situations are not rational - hence "condemning" means very little. Thus it's not about being "legal" but being engaged enough to interact with the people. Or to make it simpler - the argument is more about who the group can afford to lose via cannibalism. Thus eating the "sailor" in the ship full of teens would be rather stupid as no teens have his experience or skill to steer and maintain the ship Survivability on the other hand is something only certain people can manage. It's the sort of people who go on to lead and do greater things. Its the near opposite of rationality as it's about who the group CAN afford to lose.
I agree for the most part. But in many instances, rationality goes out the window as panic and fear sink in. They may pick the sailor because his thighs are thicker than everyone else. Or because one guy says that he's plotting on everyone else, so mob mentality takes over and they kill and eat the sailor before he can do the same.

First off, murder is never acceptable. Ok, now that that point is settled, although it is taboo in almost every modern culture, there are several cultures who have resorted to this other practice during desperate times. During the Holodomor, it was said that the only people to survive were those who resorted to cannibalism. Those who were altruistic perished first - by giving their food to others, they would not have enough for themselves. After the altruists starved, the next to die were those who refused to eat them. Then, when the famine was over, the last to die were those who were indiscreet about what they had done in order to survive, because the practice was punishable by death.
There are many cases of cannibalism for survival. Some are prosecuted regardless of the reason, and some are not. Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571 survivors resorted to cannibalism to survive, and there are not a lot of people who condemn that.
I surely wouldn't want to wait around until he starts thinking the same thing of me. But, there are numerous examples where men lost at sea didn't start killing and eating each other.
If you were taking an interpersonal communications class and your assignment would be to give a speech about a moment to remember, what moment would you speak about?
If you could eat something and not get fatter what would it be and why?
If you could deck anyone that you have ever read about in history books, who would it be and why?
If you could only change one thing about your public school system, what would it be and why?
If we were hanging out at your house and you left for a bit, and came back and I was hogtied on your bed with a sock in my mouth, what would you do?
This is a mathematical challenge, and it's been said that: If you're an engineer, you should be able to solve it in (under) three minutes (more like 30 seconds), if you're an architect, in three hours; if you're a doctor, in six hours; if you're an accoun
If you were born in the Phillipines on September 1 and then move to the US where it was August 31, is your birthday August 31 or September 1?
For those who are no longer in School: If your Teachers could see you now would they be surprised as to how well you turned out or do you think they wouldn't be surprised at all?
My girlfriend and I were happy together had a dog lived together and talked of marriage. My friend would always come over and hang with me, after a while him coming over turned into a everyday thing. Long story short, situations happend like me and my buddy hanging in the garage and him saying goodbye and then an hr later I go upstairs and he's sleeping on the floor next to the couch we're my girlfriend is sleeping. Other things like they had exchanged phone numbers without me knowing. I asked them both if anything was goin on I felt like an idiot when they both said no. Time passed then more stuff like I pulled into the grocery mart parking lot and there sitting there talking . I ended up asking my girlfriend and my friend a ton of times if what I was feeling like they were hooking up was real No no no your insane and insecure. Ok my girlfriend ended up leaving me because of all this she told me that they never talked at all. We're broken up now and my friend still comes around but he dosnt seem like a real friend he says I would never do that, and then bragged to me the other day about how he hooked up with a chick who has a boyfriend.

Manuscript for Murder by Chautona Havig
Click here to pick up your copy.
Book title: Manuscript for Murder
Author: Chautona Havig
Genre: Mystery Alexa Hartfield.
Author, local celebrity, fashion connoisseur. She chose Fairbury for its close proximity to Rockland, its small town atmosphere, and its low crime rate. Then someone made her life a literary cliché. A mysterious accident with a light bulb sparked an interesting idea for her latest novel—and for Fairbury’s new serial killer. The first replication infuriated her. The second left an even worse taste in her mouth. The third blasted more than her self-confidence, and the fourth beat her down so far she’s considering giving up writing completely. Who is killing Fairbury’s citizens, and furthermore, why and how are they using her novels to do it?
Alexa Hartfield- an endearing character that we all wish we were more like! Not so much because she's a celebrity, but because she lives the way she wants down to eccentric and period wardrobe. I personally wish I had the guts to walk down the street in a Jane Austen regency gown! Not only that, our character is down to earth and really cares about people. The plot of this story turned me on my head- why was someone using Alexa's books to inspire murder, and is it Alexa's fault that people are dying? All the characters had an obvious role and were well developed. Picturing a murder mystery within an author of murder mystery's world was no easy fete! I enjoyed every page, and I appreciated the honesty, twists, and turns found in the plot and characters. Endearing and unique characters and a perplexing murder mystery make this book a 5 star!
I received this book for free, and all opinions given are my own.
Chautona Havig lives and writes in California’s Mojave Desert with her husbnd and five of her nine children. Through her novels, she hopes to encourage Christians in their walk with Jesus.
Guest Post from Chautona Havig
How Arrows & My Obsession with Vintage Clothes Inspired Murder A swath of fabric cut across my bedroom at an odd angle but that angle ensured that I could stretch it all out. With painstaking precision, I pinned every last piece to the fabric, disgusted at the enormous waste stretching out before me. The pattern called for three and a half yards. I’d crammed it into two at most. Just as I picked up the scissors for the first cut, Mom popped her head in the door to see how I was doing. I pointed out the waste. “Grandma said patterns always told you to buy way too much, but I’ve got enough to make another dress!” Mom stepped closer. I want to say a cigarette hung from her lips, but let’s face it. No way would Mom ever allow the ashes to drop on the carpet. But it felt like one was there, nonetheless. Mom pointed. “Chautona, I don’t know anything about sewing, but I think those arrows are there for a reason.” And with that, she turned away. I stared down at the pattern. My arrows zig-zagged all over the place. A glance at the directions showed all arrows going exactly the same direction. Straight up and down the fabric. You know, if I’d been doing this for the first time in 2017, I could have just zipped on over to “the Google,” as Mom calls it, and looked up why. Instead, I grabbed a thick sewing manual I’d bought for a buck at Pick-N-Save and flipped through it until I found a section on laying out patterns. A couple of minutes later, I flew down the stairs. “The book says that the long, smooth edges are called selvages. The arrows are supposed to run parallel or the dress might hang wonky.” Here, I can guarantee Mom took a puff of that cigarette. Man, I hated those things. “Well, like I said. I don’t know anything about sewing, but they looked important.” She blew a puff of smoke. That’s when I suspected that Mom knew more about sewing than she’d let on. What does this little sewing lesson have to do with mysteries and murder? Well, see. This was a test dress. I’d only decided to learn to sew because I’d also decided that I wanted Nancy Drew’s wardrobe. In 1982, you couldn’t buy trim, neat clothing from the 50’s. I had Gunne Sax skirts and preppy tops with ruffles that my parents hated. When they found out I wanted a sewing machine to make clothes like that, they got me one. Yep. I cut my reading teeth on Nancy Drew and didn’t stop there. I read all the youth mysteries—Bobsey Twins, Trixie Belden, Hardy Boys, Meg Duncan (she was a fave, too), and when I got a little older, Phyllis Whitney. I loved the challenge of seeing events play out—and figuring out why. Why told me who. You get to where you can figure out things rather easily. But if you make me doubt my ideas, that’s good enough. I love that. Is it any wonder that one of the first books I conceived was a mystery? I’d never put the ideas together until I began working on this post, but really… is it any wonder that I gave that author a love of vintage fashion? Too funny. But those arrows on that pattern? They taught me pretty cool lessons as a kid. Like Mom said: “Those arrows are there for a reason.” Isn’t that what God’s directional arrows in His Word are like? They’re there for a reason. They keep us from getting all wonky. It’s why Alexa writes the kind of books she does. I never could, but as she says when she describes telling someone why she writes horror/suspense, “I tried to describe a world where we never see justice—where sin surrounds us, but the only response we see is a sweet romance or a heartwarming tale of doing good to our neighbors… And God is a God of more than love and mercy. [He’s also a God of] justice.” Alexa writes what she does to help people sort out those crossed arrows and see that there is a point to it all—that eventually justice and mercy converge paths into one rather than criss-crossing all over the place, trampling each other. She doesn’t write Christian fiction, but I don’t know how a Christian can write fiction without some part of faith shining through. In Alexa’s, and I hope in mine as well, there’s an overarching theme that illustrates that the Lord hasn’t forgotten the people He created.

Wounded in the Church by Ray Beeson & Chris Hayward
To purchase your copy, click here.
Book title: Wounded in the Church
Author: Ray Beeson & Chris Hayward
Church should be a safe place, right? Then why do so many get hurt there? Ray Beeson and Chris Hayward combine their years of ministry experience to address head-on the elephant in the room: church members and church leaders hurt Christians. All the time. And the long-lasting effects—rejection, shame, despair, loneliness, fear—can be devastating. The authors have witnessed the rise of the “dones,” those who are just done with God thanks to scars from church. With first-person stories of hurt and loss, this book is a wake-up call for any who deny woundedness in the church but is also a redemptive message for any who hurt from church wounds. Leaders and laypeople alike will learn how to grieve over abuse, to leave unhealthy attitudes and patterns that cause pain, and to trust in God’s real, delivering work through churches that build up, not tear down. Thanks to the grace of God, there is always hope beyond the pain.
Taking a departure from my regular fiction, Wounded in the Church was a eye-opening and healing read. Among a difficult subject, a Light of Hope emerges. I, like most, have had personal experiences of wounding as I tend to be a people-pleaser myself and feel like if I'm asked to do something by a person in church, it must mean God wants me to do it as well. The theme of rejection being felt by people in the church was a very real one and a very difficult subject. One that I am glad our authors were brave enough to tackle and give a name. So many end up leaving church because they don't feel welcome in the first place- it's a travesty that Christians in general need to acknowledge and ask the Lord to help them conquer whether they have been hurt or are the persecutor. Because of God's grace alone, we are able to overcome the hurt, rejection, and even the realization that perhaps we are the person wounding others. While the title does not sound pleasant, the reality is one that needs to be dealth with. And what a blessing to know that the reality of pain can be overcome and healed through the power and grace of our Lord. Thank you Mr. Beeson & Hayward for giving rejection in the church a name, and reminding us that we serve a risen Savior who holds the key to unlocking it all!
I received this book for free and all opinions given are my own.

Guest Post from Ray Beeson & Chris Hayward
When we tell people we’ve written a book entitled “Wounded in the Church,” many nod knowingly. Sadly, the pain and heartache that happens in churches is all too common. Collectively, the two of us have spent more than 70 years in ministry. During that time we have seen neglect, tactlessness, and blatant insensitivity fostered by some leaders and congregations resulting in the wounding of others. We realize it is not prolific in every church, but the wounding is significant and it needs to be exposed. That is why we wrote this book – we share real stories of real people who were wounded in church, a place that should be a shelter of God’s love and peace. Sometimes people are abused by leaders or church members. There are also times when leaders are abused by people within the congregation. As you read, perhaps you’ll identify with some of the situations described. If so, be assured you are not alone. If you have been wounded, it is our hope and prayer God uses this book to facilitate healing. Because of Jesus Christ, there is hope beyond the pain.

A Name Unknown by Roseanna M. White
Book title: A Name Unknown
Author: Roseanna M. White
Genre: Historical Romance
She’s Out to Steal His Name. Will He Steal Her Heart Instead? Rosemary Gresham has no family beyond the band of former urchins that helped her survive as a girl in the mean streets of London. Grown now, they are no longer pickpockets—now they focus on high value items and have learned how to blend into upper-class society. Rosemary’s challenge of a lifetime comes when she’s assigned to determine whether a certain wealthy gentleman is loyal to Britain or to Germany. How does one steal a family’s history, their very name? As Europe moved closer to World War I, rumors swirl around Peter Holstein. Awkward and solitary, but with access to the king, many fear his influence. But Peter can’t help his German last name and wants to prove his loyalty to the Crown—so he can go back to anonymously writing a series of popular adventure novels. When Rosemary arrives on his doorstop pretending to be a well- credentialed historian, Peter believes she’s the right person to help him dig through his family’s past. When danger and suspicion continue to mount, though, and both realize they’re in a race against time to discover the truth—about Peter’s past and about the undeniable attraction kindling between them.
I'm not sure what I love the most about this intriguing book- the charming and life-like characters, the beautiful setting, or just the historical backdrop of this book. It is clear from the depth of accurate detail that Ms White has done her homework in making sure the historical accuracy is spot on there. I have to say I was really taken in by Peter and Rosemary. Rosemary because of her learned independence and resentment towards the upper class while doing what she must to support herself and her family. Peter because he's so unlike the typical upper crust snob, stutter and all. I really fell in love with these characters and the affection they begin to feel for each other which was probably the most unlikely scenario of all! The historical backdrop described a very dismal one that they were entering in to where your background was more important than who they knew you to be in real life. I thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of this book, and I feel that any fiction/history reader will enjoy every part as well!
I received this book for free, and all opinions given are entirely my own.
Roseanna M. White pens her novels beneath her Betsy Ross flag, with her Jane Austen action figure watching over her. When not writing fiction, she’s homeschooling her two children, editing and designing, and pretending her house will clean itself. Roseanna is the author of over a dozen historical novels and novellas, ranging from biblical fiction to American-set romances to her British series. Spies and war and mayhem always seem to make their way into her novels…to offset her real life, which is blessedly boring. You can learn more about her and her stories at www.RoseannaMWhite.com.
Guest Post from Roseanna White
It’s always a challenge to make a historical setting authentic—especially when it’s set in a region you’ve only ever read about. As I was writing A Name Unknown, I learned so much about Cornwall—all the more when I had the opportunity to visit the gorgeous Penzance region while the book was still in edits! I quickly learned that I had far too many trees in my story, and hadn’t quite captured the uniqueness of the coastal setting. I dove into rewrites with excitement and gusto, ready to make my fictional Cornwall more like the real one. I studied the Cornish accent, Cornish foods, typical Cornish coloring in hair and eyes. I’ve now gotten rather proficient at making pasties (beef hand pies) from scratch, I’ve special-ordered ingredients to make Cornish ginger cookies called fairings, and I’ve spent quite a lot of time listening to videos of people speaking in a Cornish accent. Delving into this rich region and its history was a blast! And I’m so excited to get to share the culture of Cornwall—and a taste of their unique flavors—with you. In a special Celebrate Lit giveaway, I’ll be offering not only a signed copy of my book, but also some homemade ginger fairings! Here’s the recipe I used . . . after special ordering the Mixed Spice (reminiscent of pumpkin pie spice) and Golden Syrup (a thick syrup with a bit of a toffee flavor) from Amazon. 😉 (I have a gram scale so did use the weight measurements rather than volume—also, English teaspoons and tablespoons are a bit bigger than American, so I heaped them, and I turned out deliciously.) GINGER FAIRINGS RECIPE 100 grams butter, cold and diced 225 grams all-purpose flour ¼ heaping teaspoon salt 2 heaping teaspoons baking powder 2 heaping teaspoons baking soda 1 heaping teaspoon ginger 2 heaping teaspoons mixed spice 100 grams superfine (caster) sugar 4 heaping tablespoons golden syrup Preheat oven to 375 F. Grease baking sheets or line with parchment paper. Combine flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and spices in a stand mixer. Add the butter and beat until mixture forms coarse crumbs. Stir in sugar. In a small saucepan, warm the golden syrup until it’s clarified a bit; stir into the flour mixture until a dough forms. Roll the dough into walnut sized balls and put on prepared baking sheets a few inches apart. Bake 8-10 minutes, until golden. Cool a few minutes on the trays and then transfer to a cooling rack.

Gladden the Heart by Olivia Newport
Book title: Gladden the Heart
Author: Olivia Newport
Genre: Historical Amish
“When you have experienced the Holy Ghost as I have, you would see that it is difficult to turn back.” When the lively fervor of nineteenth century revivalism endangers the staid customs of the Amish community in the lush but rugged Kishacoquillas Valley of central Pennsylvania in 1847, the Amish church must deal with a divisive question: What is a genuine spiritual experience? The question turns personal when Susanna’s beloved cousin Noah begins preaching while under trances and even though he is not a minister he gives long sermons that attract increasing attention. Curious, she helps to keep Noah safe during his trances. At the same time Adam, Susanna’s intended, feels pressure from the bishop to speak out against the ways of revivalism. Susanna and Adam are pushed to opposite sides of a controversy that threatens their traditional Amish faith.. Now they must grapple with whether love is possible…even if they come to different conclusions. When Noah goes missing at a time of day when he often preaches while asleep, circumstances thrust community members with divergent opinions into a crisis that demands they recognize the humanity they share regardless of beliefs. But can strong-held opinions be softened by the truths that shape their lives?
Totally unexpected but a welcome out of the ordinary novel . . . Gladden the Heart will take you through a journey of Amish history and beliefs. One that I personally was not aware of. Within the pages, you will be met with a challenging yet lovely relationship blooming. With what I consider a difficult historical event to tackle, the author really does a good job of bringing events to life and keeping the action moving. She does this without losing the charm of an Amish novel complete with the work ethic, dedication to family, and selflessness we love about the Amish and their ways. The level of interaction with religious beliefs outside of the fold were an interesting avenue this book takes us down as well. Once again, faith in the Lord is what sees our characters through very trying times which is always a blessing to my heart. I have to say that although this book was not what I expected, it is worth taking a look! History, faith, love, and the timeless ways of the Amish combine to create a truly delightful read!
I recieved this book for free, and all opinions given are entirely my own.
Olivia Newport’s novels twist through time to discover where faith and passions meet. She chases joy in Colorado at the foot of the Rockies, where daylilies grow as tall as she is.

Sleepy Sundays Now don’t laugh, but my guess is that if you looked around your church on any given Sunday morning, you’d see somebody sleeping. It might be an infant or toddler whose nap time collides with the worship time resting in a parent’s arms, or it might be a senior citizen who has perfected the art of dozing in an upright position. What you don’t expect is that the person sleeping will be the preacher. I’ve always been interested in church history. I even read a magazine called Christian History on a regular basis and consider it pleasure reading. In my ambling through church history, I came across a notation about “sleeping preachers” in the nineteenth century in various denominations, including the Amish. The accounts suggested that individuals who were not ministers would fall unconscious, wake up to preach for lengthy periods, sleep again, and have no recollection of their actions. Could this possibly be true? Or a giant hoax? What’s a genuine spiritual experience, and what do we do when don’t agree on how to answer that question? Let’s face it, even now, 150 years later, we still don’t quite know what to do with our varying traditions when we don’t agree on how to answer that question. I knew I had the makings of a story. Gladden the Heart travels back to 1847 and wrestles with these questions. When a divided community faces a life-or-death situation, they must respond to a crisis that challenges them to look past their differences. But can strong-held opinions be softened by the truths that shape their lives? Gladden the Heart is the fifth story in Olivia Newport’s Amish Turns of Time series of historical Amish novels. Olivia chases joy in Colorado at the foot of the Rockies, where daylilies grow as tall as she is.

The New Strathfield Golf Club Designed By Altis Architecture Is Complete!
By Katherine Herod October 5, 2018 December 12th, 2018 Just completed
We are happy to share with you the opening of the newly constructed Strathfield Golf Club. This highly sculptural building was born from the concept of forms experienced in the game of golf. The curvature of the rolling greens, the undulating edges of the sand bunkers and the elliptical shape of the ‘driver’ golf club. The later was particularly drawn upon as influence for the building form itself resembling the shape of three driver heads. Moreover, the repetition of the form three times is reminiscent of the swing motion applied in golf when taking a long range shot with the driver itself.
As golf is very much a game of connection to the course and surroundings, we ensured that the building maintains a strong sense of connectivity to the course itself. The importance of this lead to the complete modification of the golf course, so that key moments in the game could be enjoyed by patrons in the clubhouse.
The ground floor accommodates all the social activities of the Club within three ‘pavilions’, each having panoramic views over the golf course. The curved forms of these pavilions are connected by interstitial public areas which have framed vistas over particular parts of the course. The architectural form creates drama and excitement within the space by the clever juxtaposition of ‘positive’ and ‘negative’ spaces forming a dynamic backdrop for the interior experience. The combined area of the Golf Club and function centre is approximately 5,300sq.m with a capacity designed for 300 guests.
A ‘mini-pavilion’ outside the functions area creates a gazebo for wedding photos and the like. It could also be the setting for a small musical ensemble at an outdoor function. The lower ground floor houses the sporting aspects of the Club, together with centralised catering facilities, loading dock and car parking. This level also includes the greenkeeper’s shed and associated staff facilities.
The building process has taken 3 years since Altis Architecture won the design competition to produce this incredible building.
The feedback from the members and patrons alike so far has been incredibly positive and we look forward to its future use and enjoyment by the community.

A Magic of Bags
—Mecca Jamilah Sullivan
When Ilana Randolph left her house that Saturday night, the only people outside were on their way. It was April, and past midnight, and so the air was black and wet as a glass of diet cola. The dealers, the addicts, the stoop ladies, everyone who populated the block at more reasonable hours was now somewhere else—hidden under the skirt hems of their lovers or grandmothers for the night, or at home, alone, dreaming of dead husbands and children raised and gone. The women of the Harlem Grange Homeowners’ Council were elsewhere, too—in their brownstones, packing lunches, rinsing their pantyhose, preparing for the next day’s climb. Only a few moving shadows splashed under the streetlight as Ilana pushed through the blocks toward Convent Avenue, a garbage bag full of babies in tow.
Even before the babies, everyone knew Ilana Randolph was strange. She couldn’t have denied it if she’d wanted to—which she didn’t. It wasn’t just that she was wide as a refrigerator and always wore purple, orange, and blue extensions in her hair, purchased from the Wigs & Plus on Canal Street, further downtown than the rest of the neighborhood’s teenagers would bother to go. Her difference was deeper, even, than that. While most of the Grange’s young people seemed to spend their free time hopping turnstiles in feeble defiance of authority, smoking loosies in Riverside Park, and plotting epic romances with one-another that all ended with masters’ degrees from Harvard and multimillion-dollar weddings in opulent condos downtown, Ilana spent much of her time alone, meditating on a single idea: verticality. Not in the dull, sentimental, lift-as-you-climb, movin’-on-up-to-the-east-side, sense—though she felt that was important in a historical way—but in the vaguer and more meaningful sense of the subterranean; the core. She was ever on a quest to get to the depths of things, and to mess with them. She pondered this notion constantly, doodling diagrams of soil strata in her History and Spanish notebooks, writing songs about chicken hearts and nectarine pits and the penny-studded floors of park fountains whenever she got the chance. While everyone around her plotted toward triumphal attractiveness, doing whatever they could to suck as many people as possible toward them and keep them there, Ilana was sure the body must have some better use. She dreamed instead of lodging herself under the world’s skin, irritating it, making it itch.
The Grange Women, Ilana knew, would attribute her obstreperousness to her father’s death from bone cancer, a year before the babies. But Ilana knew it began much longer ago than that. Once, when she was fourteen, she won $100 for taking first place in the local High School Heroes essay contest, and when she went to the check cashing place on Edgecombe Avenue to cash the check, the nasty man behind the counter hailed her entrance by remarking “Aw yes! Look at those baby-bouncin thighs!” with a gin-soaked but not insincere smile. Unsure what to say, Ilana stared at him until she could feel herself buzzing just below the gray hair on his left arm. It was a good feeling, and so she focused harder, maintaining eye contact as she handed over her check and ID. Staring for all those minutes wasn’t easy, but it was gratifying—many times, she felt the need to blink, but she rallied and instead intensified her stare, thinking of nothing but the meat of the arm, and the heat of the itching. Then, as the man handed her the cash, just before she began to turn away, he raised his right hand, brought it to the arm, and scratched. It was glorious.
By the time she made the trip with the babies, three years later, Ilana had turned her feats of irritation into a practice, an art. When the girl at the weedspot rolled her eyes at her stankly, Ilana smiled and sent herself to blister the girl’s inner thigh. And when the Grange Women commented on her hair color or her weight gain at her mother’s holiday parties, turning the corners of their mouths laboriously upward into brittle smiles, Ilana chose the falsest of the women and concentrated on the point of her nose, focusing there until the woman burst into a huge sneezing fit, which eventually turned everyone’s stomachs and scattered the party for good.
It was not that Ilana did not like people; she liked most of them well enough. What she didn’t like was the way they handled each other. It was all or nothing with people, a symptom, she felt, of strictly horizontal thought. People either rejected you out of pocket, with an eye-roll and a fake smile, or they insisted on sucking you into a system of fidelities and physiologies—marriages and coituses and births and extended-family Thanksgivings–that would bind you to them, wholly, impossibly, and forever. Most often they did both, shutting you out and stitching you in at once, which was the hardest thing of all.
She noticed this habit first in her family, then in the neighborhood. But as she got older, she saw it replicating itself in the halls of her high school, which was nowhere near Harlem and was filled with well-off white teenagers who looked nothing like her. So eventually, Ilana took her irritation practice to the city streets. She began skipping school to make trips to Canal and the West Village, where she bought her multi-colored hair and cans of the deepest blue and purple spray paint she could find. Then she would take the 1 & 9 line back up to Harlem, where she would tag abandoned buildings with the elaborately drawn names of made-up gangs like “Laydeez Mansion” and “Tha Patriarchy,” ducking cops and dealers and anyone else who seemed like they might be part of a real crew. Then would sit on the front stoop of her parents’ brownstone, eating chips or cereal, writing rhymes, watching groups of people pass, privately wondering if she would ever bother to make a family of her own.
Mrs. Randolph (whose first name nobody ever said—not even Ilana), did not acknowledge these changes in her daughter. Since George’s passing, Mrs. Randolph had learned to fold her face into a pleasant smile whenever he came up in conversation. She would tell anyone who asked that she and Ilana were doing just fine, thank you, and invite them to her next holiday party.
The conversation was always more or less the same:
“How’s Ilana doin’, Mrs. Randolph?” one would ask. “Getting big, huh? Got a nice face, though.”
“That girl of yours is different, huh Mrs. Randolph?” another would chime in.
“But she’s smart. Usually the quiet ones that are.”
“Well that’s kind of you,” Mrs. Randolph would say, standing perfectly still, a smile plastered to her face. “And will we see you at the Arbor Day Almond and Praline Picnic? We’d love to have you there.” Then she would walk away, still smiling as primly as she could, whether they’d answered or not.
It wasn’t that Mrs. Randolph didn’t like people either, exactly. She simply did not like their mess. Never had. As a child, she was often scolded for failing to play well with other children, which always surprised her—both then and now—because in her mind it was the children who had turned their noses up at her. If you wanted contact, it seemed to her, the best way to make it was by clear and deliberate request. The improvised rules of hand clapping games and tag tournaments had always been mysterious to her; she never knew when the game was over, or what to do with herself while she waited for it to begin. The rise of the make-believe tea party was a revelation for her first-grade self. Unfortunately, by that time, her reputation as an uppity brown-skinned girl had already solidified and she often found herself sitting in the playground, surrounded by paper napkin place-settings and imaginary teacups, alone.
But later in life, as a professional, a wife, and a mother, her hosting ability had become her most prized trait. By the time she and George had joined the Grange, with its elaborate social protocols and mysterious, unspoken rules, Mrs. Randolph was certain: the best way to be in touch with the world was by formal invitation only.
The Grange Women wondered—well, some of them did—why the woman who could celebrate the wind blowing through her favorite tree and invite the whole of Hamilton Heights to her garden to enjoy it could not part her lips in favor of her own girl. For this reason and others, Mrs. Randolph was a neighborhood mystery. She was a thick, sturdy woman with a billowy mass of salt-and-pepper hair, which she kept unpermed and pulled back into a great bush, which the Grange Women all secretly envied, imagining the length and fullness of it when—or if—she let it out in the evenings. She worked as a nurse practitioner at Presbyterian University Hospital, and was also on faculty at the School of Nursing. This always made the Grange Women chuckle, as no one could imagine her breathing warmly over the incapable, much less training young, frenzied nursing students to do as much.
Mrs. Randolph had always been as cool and sharp as a shard of hail, and ever since George died, the September before the babies, she’d become even more distant. Everyone remembered the date of George Randolph’s passing; it happened on a Saturday, two days before Mrs. Randolph’s annual Labor Day Lambchop Luncheon. Rumor had it the man had keeled over behind the brownstone while Mrs. Randolph pruned the pumpkin leaf centerpieces in the next room. Since then, Mrs. Randolph had floated further and further from the fold, missing most of the Grange meetings and making herself available only by posted RSVP to one of the affairs she held in her small backyard garden.
Mrs. Randolph’s affairs were always held in the garden, with crisp white tablecloths and ornate centerpieces that featured fresh azaleas in the spring and summer, and heaps of dried fruit in the fall. Even in winter, rather than have folks inside, she rented heat lamps and had the garden’s small deck professionally enclosed with temporary tarps so that her guests could sit in perfect warmth amid the gray, dirt-tinged snow. Upon arriving, the women were always ushered quickly through the garden floor parlor, past the kitchen, and into the yard. Some eventually began to take offense to this, and they started to speculate as to why no-one was allowed to spend time in the Randolph home. It was a major topic of conversation at Mrs. Randolph’s last Flag Day Starfish and Striped Bass Fête, the summer before George’s death.
“Ain’t like it’s that pretty a garden,” Celia Wallstone had said, craning her neck back so that her meaty chin pressed into her neck. “I don’t see why we have to have our hoar-durves out there.”
“Pssht,” replied Sarah Prince, a petite, angular woman. “You know Mrs. Randolph doesn’t like too much of people’s funk in her furniture. Gets under her skin, you know? And ain’t nuthin generous up under there but a KEEP OUT sign.”
“Well I’ll tell you,” Celia said, stuffing a piece of fish into her mouth. “I’m starting to think that’s exactly what we need to do.”
In the months after George’s death—the months before the babies—Mrs. Randolph grew increasingly withdrawn. Ilana grew quieter and stranger, too, until no one saw much of the girl, with the exception of Ann Master, one of the most active Grange members, whose son, DeShawn, had been close with Ilana, against Ann’s best efforts. Ann was a slim and well-raised corporate tax lawyer with speckled eggshell skin, which she had always traced vaguely to her “Creole” ancestry, though she wasn’t able to provide much more detail on her lineage than that. Luckily, no one ever asked. Ann had always greeted the thought of Ilana with a raised eyebrow. In her view, the girl was born as strange as her mother was mean, and the two seemed to dive miles deeper into their personality flaws when the man of the house passed on. It bothered Ann, as it had bothered all of the Grange Women, to see Ilana grow from different to flat-out weird, marching down the streets of Harlem with pink and blue and purple braids swinging wildly from her head like loose electric wires, mouthing the words to some rap song without a single care as to who was watching.
For most of the fall, Ann tried to be patient with DeShawn regarding his friendship with Ilana—the girl had just lost her father, she reasoned, and consoling her would give DeShawn useful practice in soothing unhappy women, which he could use as a husband down the line. But around Christmastime, strange things began to happen. Traces of Ilana started to show up in places where the girl herself could not have been. It began with a few strands of synthetic blue extension hair coiled in the bottom drawer of Ann’s filing cabinet at work. Then a handful of green press-on nails appeared in her grocery bag, lodged between the pine nuts and the Stahmanns candied pecans. By the time a whole braid turned up on the seat beside her on the subway, its end wrapped around the nozzle of a spray paint can, Ann forbade DeShawn from saying so much as ‘yo’ to the girl. She put her foot down, telling him that he was risking his allowance, his college fund, and his future, for what that was worth. As far as she was concerned, that had been that.
With the exception of Ann, most of the Grange Women had little to no contact with Ilana and her mother in the months after George died. Still, it didn’t take more than two eyes and a scrap of sense to know that something was amiss with them. That was not the sort of thing you would speak on, of course, at least not to a woman’s face. So, in January, after Mrs. Randolph missed her fourth consecutive Grange meeting with the excuse that she was planning her annual MLK Day Mountaintop Supper, the Grange Women resolved to discuss the matter over Copeland’s Sunday Brunch.
“Poor girl,” Mary Pitts said, pointing her lips and sloshing the butter around in her grits. “No wonder she acts so strange. Mother can’t speak a good word on her to save her life.”
“Since the father passed, seem like the girl don’t have nobody.” Celia Wallstone shook her head, raking the stiff ends of her wig over her shoulders. “Course George didn’t hardly say nothing when he was around. Guess that woman scared him so. Nice man, though.” She took a sip of her coffee, her eyebrows raised behind the steam.
“Well, I imagine most of what goes on in that house ain’t zactly what you’d call normal,” said Wilma Fridelle, folding her napkin and placing it on the table. “You know they talk on the phone.”
“What’s that have to do with anything, Wilma?” Said Joyce Turner, a round brown-skinned woman with dreadlocks and a face as slick as a gumball.
“I mean,” Wilma retorted, “they call each other on the phone. From one room to the other.” She surveyed her audience and sighed. “I mean rather than go see each other in person. I saw it when I was there for the Juneteenth Champagne Toast and Jubilee. Mrs. Randolph called the girl from the downstairs phone to see about the place settings, even though she was right upstairs. They got disconnected and Mrs. Randolph just gave that little frown she has, you know,” Wilma tightened her face as though she’d discovered a pepper in someone’s bad potato salad. “And she just kept on about the place settings. And don’t you know not a minute later, the girl just dialed her right back from right there, not a fly swat away. Come to think of it, I don’t think I ever seen all three of them in the same room for more than fifteen minutes, even when George was alive.”
“Mmm. It’s a shame,” Sarah Prince said, leaning into the table. “You know, I heard he died of bone cancer. Lungs just as airy as springtime, prostate and pancreas you could bet money on, and he ups and dies of bone cancer. Who ever heard of that? Seems to me living in that house ate him up from the outside in.” She frowned and dropped her hands in her lap for emphasis.
Ann Master was silent during these sessions, for fear she might be charged with hypocrisy. DeShawn often made news on the whisper mill for small things like tagging church stairs with graffiti or stringing his FILA sneakers up on telephone poles for no reason she could think of. But DeShawn was ultimately harmless, and much better than most of the upper-Harlem kids. He had been a start member of the Boy’s Choir of Harlem Junior League, and had continued to sing almost as sweetly well into puberty. He still liked school well enough, and did almost of all his homework, as far as she could tell. For a teenage boy, he hadn’t given Ann much trouble, and, now, watching him grow tall and lean as a walking stick, Ann had started to wish she’d had more children. Frequently, she dreamed of the bland, mealy smell of baby formula and the feel of hot milk splashed for temperature testing against her wrist.
Now, at thirty-nine, these pleasures of motherhood were lost to her. In recent years, her hips had begun to spread lazily out and down toward her knees, and her small breasts had grown resigned, and had slid down her torso like two little globs of paint on a wall. It seemed the generation to whom motherhood remained—the Talk Show Girls, as she thought of them, with their fake hair and their cheap, gold-plated nose-rings—was completely unequipped to handle it. Lately, Ann caught herself sighing audibly at the turned backs of these silver-sneakered and ponytailed mothers as they lifted to their tip-toes to reach high shelves in the grocery store. On bad days, she found herself eying hungrily their unmanned strollers and bassinets.
She had even begun to curse her flighty sister, Rhonda, now thirty, for having had five children and made no real efforts to support them. Rhonda spent her time pursuing worthless scraps of men and mindless, menial jobs with which she barely managed to scrape together a living. Had Ann been blessed to have young children at this stage in her life, she often thought, she’d do even better than she’d done with DeShawn, because this time she’d do it alone. Her major mistake in rearing DeShawn was to attempt to do so with his father, a useless man who seemed to think sending a pack of subway tokens every few months constituted supporting a child. But now, even if her spirit was willing, her body was not; and moreover, there were no men in sight. All she could do, Ann decided, was mother the child she had, keep crack, the police, and bad women away from him, and pray he would find a decent girl to one day give him the family she craved.
“That house is strange for sure,” Ann said finally, dabbing her napkin at the corners of her mouth. “It’s no wonder that girl turned out the way she did.”
“What you mean, Ann?” Joyce asked haughtily. She sucked in her round stomach and smoothed her blouse down as if to keep her gut from view.
“Well, now, I’m not saying,” Ann began. “You know, Ilana Randolph is not quite like these other young people.”
“You mean she’s not simple?” Marietta Mann ventured, pushing a cube of melon onto her fork.
“No,” Said Celia Wallstone. “She means the girl don’t talk, right Ann?”
“Well,” Ann said, brushing crumbs from her lap. “I don’t like to tell tales, but you know she isn’t a woman yet.”
“How’s that?” Wilma Fridelle and Sarah Prince asked in unison.
“I mean,” Ann said, her face going hard with impatience. “She’s going on seventeen and hasn’t had her—her red-headed visitoryet. She told DeShawn she didn’t plan to either. Said it just like that: ‘I don’t plan to.’”
“Hmph.” Joyce snorted. “If that’s true, that’s the kinda thing make you think twice before sitting at someone’s table. I don’t care how good the greens are.”
Mary Pitts sucked her teeth and chuckled. “Naw, can’t be. Keep talkin,’ Ann.”
Ann shrugged. “I’m just telling you, is all,” she said, folding her napkin and placing it on the table. “Believe it or don’t.”
It didn’t matter that Ilana never heard these conversations herself—she only needed to read the women’s tight smiles when they greeted her to know they were happening. She thought about these conversations late at night as she lay in bed, gazing up at the dolls that encircled her bedroom, caked with dust.
In her nearly-seventeen years of life, Ilana had amassed an impressive crew of teddy bears, My Little Ponies, black Barbie dolls, and others. There were handmade rag dolls with black yarn hair and skin that had thinned to the texture of old paper bags. There were antique brown china dolls with painted swirls of black hair and eyes that closed lazily when jostled, as though silly with delight or begging for sleep. Her favorite had been a bushy-haired doll with a gleaming white faux-fur jacket that engulfed it like a marshmallow and bubble-gum colored dots on its cheeks.
Until Ilana was four or so, the dolls had been her peers. She had once enjoyed waking up on Saturday mornings, spreading her blanket on the floor and joining her dolls for a morning of cold cereal and cartoons. But when her classmates began to refer to their dolls as their children, Ilana was done. She stopped combing their hair, stopped offering them cereal, stopped taking them to swim in the bathroom sink. She let their eye sockets cake with dirt, let dust settle deep into their fur and hair. She had never bothered to box them, perhaps out of laziness. She simply let them lounge atop her desk and dresser, sit in her chairs, hang from her mantle, and press their paws and fingers against her window sills as they pleased. Still, for years, the dolls kept coming, gifts from her mother, and from cousins and uncles too distant to know that, since she was four years old, Ilana had had no interest in dependents.
Now, under the watch of the dolls, she would think of the Grange Women. She would think about what tragedy of life must have made them who they were—what error kept Joyce Turner’s lips running and eyes darting in her doughy face as though calamity would come if she let her mind be still? What indiscretion made Marietta Mann so quiet she seemed to be shocked by the sound of her own breath?
These women had been defeated, it seemed, by the quest to fall in line with domesticity’s parade—find a good man, find a good job, keep both, have good children who would be willing to lather, rinse, repeat. But the cost of this process, the lint stuck in the trap, seemed always to be the women themselves. Their imaginations, their joys, the brightness of their smiles all seemed to vanish in the tumble of family life, their bodies warn to laundry bags for other peoples’ futures.
So Ilana had decided to do things differently. She would handle life selfishly, and never give it to anyone. Sometimes, she was sure of it: she would create no family, no children, nothing but herself. And, only if she truly and deeply felt like it would she consider sharing that selfish life with somebody else. In the meantime, she would make the ornate ballet of Harlem’s social life her entertainment. She plotted ways to get beneath the Grange Women’s skin, to prick the hairs around their rigorously twisted dreadlocks and melt their meticulous smiles into shock, and to bring herself—if not pleasure—at least some amusement in the process.
The most delicious of her plans involved DeShawn Master, whose mother was arguably the primmest and most anxious of the Grange Women, and who was also smart and, truth be told, pretty cute. Ilana had seen him for the first time in a while at her father’s the funeral, six months before the babies, and immediately came down with a terminal crush. It wasn’t the kind of crush most tenth-grade-girls would have, she was sure, despite how it might have looked. Most of the Hamilton Heights girls admired DeShawn for the regular reasons: he was known for his deep red skin only lightly peppered with pimples, his pretty voice and his elaborate tags on the walls of the abandoned school on 145th street. He was also rumored to have single-handedly masterminded the Destino 2000, a phantom gang whose only real criminal activity was spray painting neon-colored peonies over parking signs and turning traffic signals the wrong way.
Ilana plotted her first major encounter with DeShawn carefully. It was no small feat; DeShawn was a senior at the roughest Catholic boys’ school in the Bronx, and Ilana was tenth-grader at a small, artsy nerd-nest on the Upper East Side. There was no chance of unplanned encounters outside of Harlem, and given Mrs. Randolph’s awkward standing in the Grange, to trade on their neighborly connection wouldn’t have been much help either.
After weeks of planning, Ilana decided to meet DeShawn on his own terms. She skipped school for a week and left the house each day with spray cans, stencil sheets, box cutters, and colored chalk stuffed in the bag where her textbooks should have been. Starting at the rock wall on Riverside Drive where DeShawn and his friends smoked weed after school, she began to place elaborate, sprawling letters in paint so thickly glossed it shimmered in the streetlight at night. She placed these letters beside the Destino 2000 tags, working her way south and east from the Hudson, past her home off of Amsterdam Avenue, past the Grange office, moving quickly with DeShawn’s flowers as her guides until she reached the row of tidy brownstones on 145th and Convent, where Ann Master’s home sat proudly on the corner. There, she swapped the spray cans for the chalk, crouched to the pavement, and placed the biggest and most ornate letter yet—a lemon-yellow “I” shimmering with glints of eggshell and lime.
It took only two days for news of Ilana’s work to wash back on the whisper mill. ShaLondra Prior, a slim tenement girl from Broadway known for her elaborate and frequently-changing hairstyles, suspected Ilana immediately. ShaLondra had been DeShawn’s girlfriend in the sixth grade, and had maintained a de-facto claim over him ever since, at least in her own view. She approached Ilana one afternoon as she was eating a bowl of cereal on her stoop, her hair pulled into thick, mile-long box braids and piled on top of her head like Janet Jackson’s in Poetic Justice.
“Do you know the bitch who’s fucking with Destino?” ShaLondra demanded, patting at her temples where the braids pinched her skin.
Ilana shook her head and studied her Craklin’ Oat Bran.
“That’s some weird shit, yo,” ShaLondra said. “It’s just a bunch of random letters. What the fuck is an L or an E supposed to mean anyway?” She watched Ilana’s face for a beat. When Ilana said nothing, ShaLondra pursed her lips, pivoted on her heel and turned away, the burnt ends of her braids taking flight behind her. Ilana knew then that she was on the right track.
The next morning, she marched to Ann Master’s house, armed with her paints and stencils. She posted herself behind a dumpster on the corner and waited for Ann to leave for work. When Ann was out of view, Ilana pulled her tools from the bag and shook a can of silver paint as violently as she could, its metal agitator ball rattling loudly just beneath DeShawn’s bedroom window on the brownstone’s first floor. The window rose as though on command.
“What the fuck, Ilana?” DeShawn mumbled, his voice still gravelly with sleep. “I knew that shit was you. All them Is and Fs and shit. What the fuck is that supposed to mean? But how you gonna tag my mother’s house though?”
“Oh, you live here?” Ilana asked, still shaking the can. “I didn’t know. Plus, rhododendrons and azaleas don’t exactly say ‘step off.’ I halfway thought Destino 2000 was a group of kindergarten girls from Park Avenue.” She shook the can again.
“But damn, why you gotta be so loud?” He mumbled through a smile. “Hold on.” And he came downstairs in flip flops, socks, and basketball shorts to let her in.
He rolled a blunt, and the two spent the day writing rhymes and blowing smoke out of Ann Master’s parlor window, taking care not to disturb the Senegalese masks and statues that decorated the room, or to ash on the Strohmenger & Sons piano, polished to an indignant shine. When enough time had passed and DeShawn seemed high enough to have forgotten himself a little, Ilana turned to him and laced her fingernails between the hairs on his knee. She tilted her head to the side, pushed her chin toward him, and softened her lips for a kiss, but DeShawn jerked away.
“No,” he said, his voice unsteady. “I mean, that can’t happen. You’re cool but, you know. My mother and shit… She wouldn’t… you’re not, you know…” He continued to talk, sputtering explanations and stopping mid-sentence, gathering his voice and trying again. For Ilana, all of this was completely unnecessary—she didn’t need to hear the words. The next day, she called DeShawn to tell him that she understood what he’d meant, and that she wanted to be friends.
In the following months, she established a tight liaison with DeShawn. The two skipped school together, tagging buildings and writing songs, stealing icies from the Coco Helado man while it was still warm and snatching knishes from the hot dog trucks in Central Park when it got cooler. By January, Ilana had succeeded in becoming his truest homie. They even had their kiss, and a few others here and there, but Ilana assured him each time that she wouldn’t mention that aspect of their friendship to anyone. Even when ShaLondra Prior gusted up to her stoop one day, a fresh weave of auburn curls floating behind her like rings in a ringtoss, and demanded “yo, what the fuck is up with you and D?” Ilana only stirred her cereal and said “What do you mean? We’re friends” and watched ShaLondra spangle away. Ilana understood what their touching meant, she told DeShawn: nothing.
During those months, she made herself a fixture in Ann Master’s home. Ann would return from work many evenings to find Ilana and DeShawn sitting on her front steps, scrawling in their notebooks and moving their heads back and forth in synch like a pair of twin gulls. Ilana enjoyed watching Ann struggle to be pleasant each time she found her in her home. It was a sweet irony, Ilana felt. The imperious restraint that made Ann hate Ilana also kept her from voicing her disdain. No matter what Ilana did, Ann would greet her with the same ached eyebrows, the same squinting eyes, the same dismal lip-raise that strained to pass for a smile. It was good exercise for Ann, Ilana decided. She began to imagine herself as Ann Master’s personal trainer, forcing her into a calisthenics of the spirit. And so she decided to focus her irritation on Ann. She pulled strands of synthetic hair from her rainbow-colored packs and stuffed them in the crevices of Ann’s bags, tied them around the clasps of her necklaces, stuck them down into the legs of her daysheer pantyhose. She watched Ann’s smile grow stiffer and her face more flustered each time she saw her—a good sign in Ilana’s book. Sometimes, DeShawn would report finding whole braids in the cupboards, where Ilana hadn’t planted anything at all. Ilana didn’t understand it, but she didn’t complain.
It was gratifying to watch her efforts work on Ann, but Ilana hadn’t anticipated annoying DeShawn as well. He confronted her one afternoon as they smoked blunts sitting on the fence at Edgecombe park. “For real, I wish you’d stop fucking with her. I know it’s nothing, but still. She’s an unhappy woman,” he explained, blowing smoke over the park’s stony cliff. “She’s lonely. But you don’t like people. You don’t understand about loneliness.”
Ilana stopped going to school shortly after that conversation. It wasn’t a decision so much as it was something she observed, as though on the TV screen. She saw herself waking up day after day, the silly morning D.J.s on the hip-hop station bantering in her ear for only a few minutes before she turned the radio off, rolled over, and continued to sleep. With the exception of a few forays to the Crown Fried Chicken around the corner, she recused herself from the world’s major dramas and retreated to her room.
During those weeks, Ilana spent time with her dolls, and nearly no-one else. DeShawn became distant, too, and soon new rumors foamed up on the whisper mill—some saying that he was dating a light-skinned girl from Stuyvesant High School, others saying that ShaLondra Prior was pregnant with his child.
Mrs. Randolph did not notice her daughter’s transition into sloth, so busy was she conducting the quiet symphony of her own life, each moment of which had become hard to manage now that George was gone. Like always, she rose promptly at five every morning in order to press her clothes, smooth her billowy hair into a bun, and take a 6:30 train to work, not returning until after nine. It had always been difficult to talk to Ilana about her day, because the girl was so quiet and because how did one talk to a teenager about anything, really, anyway? And now, it seemed that George’s absence had become a film between them, making it impossible for each to see the other clearly, or even to talk to each other, much less to touch.
Then, one Saturday afternoon, while mopping the floors outside of Ilana’s bedroom, she decided to peek in. Ilana had left the house hurriedly to who-knew-where, and though she had no idea when she would be back, Mrs. Randolph took her time surveying the room, horrified. Her good mahogany dresser and vanity were covered in pen marks and paint stains, and smears of electric blue and green chalk clung shamelessly to her elegant salmon walls. Pens and spray cans rolled lackadaisically over her antique rug, surely an injury waiting to happen.
It had been a beautiful room, once, but there was so little to be admired here now. This was the thing with teenagers, she thought. Their vision was so clouded with the fantastical dramas of their own lives that they failed to see the very real dangers before them—for Ilana, not just death-by-spray-can, but also the long and lonely life of a woman uninterested in keeping house. But Ilana had not always been that way—Mrs. Randolph was almost sure of it. Ilana had never been as neat as Mrs. Randolph would’ve liked, but as a girl she’d always used her creativity around the house to good result, decorating her bedroom room with symmetrical—if gaudy—drawings of rainbows and flowers, and bringing beautifully-iced cupcakes to school whenever there was a birthday. And then there were the dollbabies, which Ilana had treated with a meticulous love as a child. She had talked to them, bathed them, fixed their hair and clothes with a fastidious and thorough interest that even Mrs. Randolph had struggled to understand. And even though she’d neglected them later, she never threw them away.
Mrs. Randolph looked for the dolls, ready to admire the collection she’d amassed for Ilana, the decades of floral print dresses, the years and seasons of perfect pinafores and the generations of patchwork in the oldest dolls’ dresses. She wanted to see the touch the yarn hair her favorite doll, given to her by her own mother, to run her fingers slowly over its faux fur jacket, which, only by these generations of effort and commitment had remained a snowy white. It was probably only five minutes or so, but it seemed she’d searched at least an hour before it dawned on her that, in fact, the babies were gone.
The dolls were lighter than Ilana thought they’d be. She made a game of tossing them into the bag, some feet or paws first, some flicked head down like boomerangs or flung like frisbees, their hair spinning cyclones of plastic around them. As she worked, she imagined Ann Master waking up to the spectacle she had designed for her: stuffed bears smoking cigarettes on her dining room table, Barbies necking nude on the antique sideboard, ponies in plastic-bag bikinis, soaped up and backfloating in her kitchen sink. It would scandalize Ann, shake her from her stupor of meanness, and perhaps even amuse DeShawn a bit in the process. They both would suspect her, but it wouldn’t matter. She would give Ann Master something more interesting to fret about than the skin tone and temperament of her progeny, and DeShawn would arise, the responsible son, to comfort his mother and join her in condemnation of strange pranks like this. It was an act of benevolence, really, and a thoughtful one. She had wrangled his spare key weeks ago in preparation. Tomorrow, after the dust settled and the spectacle had sunk in, he would throw the dolls away, have the locks changed and renew their lapsed security system account. Then he would call Ilana out of obligation to his mother, and the two might even share a chuckle. Perhaps that chuckle would even lead to more.
At two that morning, everyone on the street was moving. The sharp brass of merengue music and the laughter of flirting couples that usually the thickened the night were absent. As she moved into the block, she saw that this was because the cops were out, sprinkled in pairs under the awnings where the dealers and corner-dwellers usually stood. Instead, the cops’ presence cast an even quiet over the pavement. Sometimes Hamilton Heights was like this—so still and quiet it felt like a replica of a Harlem that had never existed. This kind of quiet usually meant that something was going on—that the cops or the dealers or somebody else had taken some mysterious and potentially dangerous action, or that they soon would. She tightened her grip around the bag and pushed forward down the block.
She had just made out the spokes of the Masters’ front gate when she heard a series of loud pops behind her, like a run of burst balloons. The noise was loud, and hard—staccato—but it was and gone just as quickly as it came, and soon there was more stillness. Ilana thought it was a scare—a child maybe, playing with firecrackers on his mother’s stoop. She adjusted the bag and moved on. But as her foot hit the ground the pavement in front of DeShawn’s house, the popping struck up again, now so close that she thought she could feel the sound brushing the back of her neck. She turned around to see the feet of several men and a couple of women flailing, running in all directions just steps behind her. The silence of the evening broke into a garble of noise: a man grunted loudly and heaved, a woman shouted “get the fuck…” then stopped short, choking on air.
Ilana ran like she hadn’t run in years. She felt her fingers flex and air smack cool against her empty palms. Tripping over yarn curls and dingy cheeks, leaving brown plastic fingers grasping upward, stepping on the gleaming white fur jacket, she ran. She felt free in the running, like a small part of something large, a streak of sound in a cacophony. Hands open, she ran away in a jumble of runners, wondering what had happened, wondering what would happen, wondering if a life could feel this way.
Two weeks later, Ilana still had not heard from DeShawn. She wondered if Ann had seen the torn bag and scattered parts on the corner, but there was now way to find out. The whisper mill was totally silent on the issue. She had heard a little about the gunshots that night—that they were caused by a bad crack deal a few days earlier and a dirty cop who had unexpectedly gone straight. But Ilana heard nothing about the babies. There were no tales of plastic limbs trampled by police boots, no reports of fake baby bottles or miniature pacifiers strewn about Sugar Hill like confetti. She walked down to Convent Avenue several times, looking for scraps of yarn hair or scrambling plastic eyes, pink-dotted cheeks growing black in the gutter. But there was nothing beyond the multi-colored crack vials, juice containers and newspaper pages that normally studded the streets.
Ann Master, too, was absent after the babies. Ilana hadn’t expected to see her right away, but she thought, for sure, that she would see her at her mother’s next party, at least. But Mrs. Randolph’s Abolition Day Ice Cream Affair came and went, and no one in attendance had seen neither skin nor scowl of Ann.
The crowd was much thinner than her mother had expected, which meant less for Ilana to do. It was mid-April, but still cool, and so Mrs. Randolph had ordered heat lamps as usual. Ilana spent most of that afternoon standing at the garden doorway, just close enough to feel rented warmth on her nose and knuckles, listening for some mention of Ann Master or DeShawn. But none came. Instead, the women talked about their children and their jobs, what they had planted in their gardens and window boxes, what new curtains they would hang for the spring. The ones who had men bragged and complained about them; the ones who didn’t pushed cranberries through their baked brie, gazing out at the heaps of melting snow.
Ilana occasionally caught Mrs. Randolph’s eye as Mrs. Randolph flitted around the walled garden, arranging seat cushions and plucking unused name cards from the tables, assessing her spare spate of guests.
May 1st was George Randolph’s birthday, and though she would not say it, Mrs. Randolph had been dreading the day since she closed the door behind the last guest after her April affair. Conveniently enough, May 1st was also May Day in the Continental U.S., and Lei Day in Hawaii. She’d never been to Hawaii and didn’t particularly care for false flowers or canned pineapple, but those things did remind her of George—queer, comical George who insisted on wearing neon striped or floral print socks tucked into his oxfords because, as he put it, one always had to have “a little hoo-ha” on one’s person to get through the day. George was capricious and unpredictable, but he always carried his strangenesses out silently, like Ilana. Mrs. Randolph appreciated this quality of his in more ways than she had been able to articulate when he was alive—somehow, his silence allowed her to enjoy the weirdness of him, as if the strange thing he was was made wonderful, because it was reserved only for her.
And so, in this spirit—George’s and Ilana’s—she decided to host her first May Day/Lei Day Luau. She could not be seen dragging a dead pig through the streets of Harlem, so she determined that a beef brisket would have to do. The pineapples would be fresh and the flowers would be real, and there would be May Day baskets full of prettily-iced cakes and cookies for the sweet-eating Grange Women, under the pretense, of course, that they were for any children who happened to stop by. A May Day/Lei Day Brisket and Basket Luau. She let the idea caramelize in her mind.
On the morning of the Luau, the sky over Hamilton Heights was as clear and blank as an ice cube. No one had RSVP-ed for the event yet, though Mrs. Randolph asked for the appropriate one-week’s response on the invitations. She attributed this lapse in etiquette to the apex of spring and an unfortunate triumph of Colored People’s Time—a condition that sometimes reared its scruffy head even in the best circles—and so went on about the preparations. She cleaned and covered the tables, pinned the seat cushions in place, and directed the installation of the makeshift luau pit, watching as delivery men spread bags of dirt over her yard’s limestone floors. She spread the baskets, filled them with reasonably expensive pastries, and strung fresh carnations into necklaces no one had signed up to wear.
Ilana watched quietly and from a distance, saying nothing as Mrs. Randolph prepared for the event, her spine curved into a question mark over the stove, muttering her dissatisfaction at batch after batch of Hawaiian pasta salad. It didn’t matter that the production was a waste of time. The busywork kept her mother at a distance safe for both of them, and it seemed pointless and cruel to break the seal between them now. Still, it had stung a bit to see how poorly attended the April event was, and it was even harder to see her mother at it again now. So she stuffed a few spray bottles into her backpack and left the house, offering to bring ice on her way back.
When she returned that afternoon, the house was tinkling with sound. The laughter of several voices lunged at Ilana, not from way out in the garden, but right there, chiming thickly through the walls of the first floor. When she pushed through the French foyer doors, she saw Mrs. Randolph sitting in the middle of the dining room, stiff as a scarecrow.
And then she saw children. Children and more children of several ages. Neat toddlers in cornrows and overalls, a messy nine-year-old with distressed, afro-puffed ponytails and a floral-print skirt. Some clutched juice boxes or stuffed animals, others held hands, their tight, well-greased box braids brushing the hem of Mrs. Randolph’s ivory tablecloth. One child, a girl, wore a crisp white faux-fur jacket that looked freshly scrubbed to gleaming, save for what looked like a faded foot print on the left arm.
When she stepped into the dining room, Ilana saw that Ann held a leaky-nosed infant on the table before her, the bulge of its diaper resting squarely on Mrs. Randolph’s white lace runner. And there beside her was DeShawn, careening over on the two side legs of Mrs. Randolph’s mahogany chair to help a toddler with bright pink cheeks tie her shoe.
“Mrs. Master and her family decided to stop by and surprise us,” Mrs. Randolph said to Ilana, her face trick-knotted into a smile. “Isn’t that nice?”
Ilana nodded and looked at DeShawn, who tied the shoe into a tight half hitch and hoisted the child onto his knee. The sideboards were covered with folded cloth napkins and baskets of cookies, and a large pitcher of bright purple juice sat uncovered at the edge of the table. Ilana eyed the juice pitcher, so wide and brazen against the thin white cloth.
“It’s so nice to see you, Ilana,” Ann said, wiping the infant’s mouth with its bib. The baby gave a wet gurgle. “It’s been such a long time. We’ve really missed seeing you around.” The was a casual sweetness in Ann’s tone that made Ilana think Ann might have forgotten herself completely—that she might actually have convinced herself she liked Ilana after all.
Ilana nodded and gave some kind of smile. She looked at DeShawn over the mass of children—five, altogether, she now saw, though they felt to her like many more. DeShawn began to bounce the fur-coated child on his lap, and the girl gave a series of shrill giggles, her black eyes rolling with delight.
“So you were saying, Ann? About your sister?” Mrs. Randolph placed another basket of cookies on the table and walked to the sideboard again, trying, Ilana could tell, not to seem too eager for details.
“Well yes, like I said. They just showed up on the stoop one morning, a few weeks ago now,” Ann said, her face firm and bright as a pat of butter. “All of them together, and Rhonda nowhere in sight. I do wish she had sent word in advance, but you know—some people just don’t know how to be.” She shifted the child onto her knee and sighed. “Of course, I was worried at first, with all the things that go on around here. There was a shooting just the night before they got here, right there on my block. “She switched the child to the other knee and patted its bottom. “But children need mothers, and women need children, is what I told DeShawn. Men need them too, whether they know it or not.”
She looked at DeShawn, who nodded dutifully, his lips turned stiffly upward as though he were posing for a photo. Ilana had never seen this version of him before. Sitting side by side amid a sea of children, their slim faces cast in twin smiles, DeShawn and Ann looked like two halves of a quotation mark.
“Well, we had to fix them up, of course,” Ann continued. “They were a bit discombobulated, at first.” A child waddled by and Ann stopped it with her free hand. She licked her finger, cleared a smear of cookie frosting from one of the pink cheeks, and released it to its game. “But we’re having a good time putting them together, aren’t we?” She wiggled the infant’s booted toe, and the baby reached up and put its palm on her face. DeShawn bounced the lapchild again and gave his camera-ready smile.
“Reminds you of how it was when they were young, doesn’t it, Mrs. Randolph,” she said, gesturing with her eyebrows to DeShawn and Ilana, the child’s fingers still on her nose.
“Well, yes,” Mrs. Randolph said.
Suddenly, the fur-clad child on DeShawn’s lap jerked forward and lunged for a basket of cookies, tripping over a buckle in the rug and sending the basket, the napkins, and the juice pitchers crashing to the floor. Ilana, DeShawn, and Ann watched as purple juice spread slowly over the rug and began to sink in. The child grabbed onto Mrs. Randolph’s skirt and hoisted herself up again, leaving a wide smear of purple liquid and cookie grease on the pale gray cotton.
Ilana stood, stunned, for a few seconds. Then she hurried to the foyer closet for cleaning supplies. DeShawn moved beside her mutely. She handed him a rag and a bottle of cleaner. As the two ducked down to the floor, she checked his face, hoping to share an eye roll or some other hint of recognition. But he looked up at her only once to offer a wild, panicked smile.
When the spot was cleaned, Mrs. Randolph began moving the remaining baskets and tablecloths to the sideboard, keeping her face turned away from the company. Ilana waited for the moment when Mrs. Randolph would put the visit to an end, coaxing the sprawling new mess of the Masters out of her house. She couldn’t imagine her mother taking much more of this messiness, and for a moment, Ilana was glad. DeShawn was his own kind of mess to her, and she wanted him gone.
“Oh, Mrs. Randolph, I’m so sorry about that,” Ann said pleadingly. She took the child in her arms and looked sternly into its face. “Tell Mrs. Randolph you’re sorry,” she said.
“I’m sorry, miss Mand…” the child stammered, clutching the hems of her jacket sleeves with her small fingers. Her face began to tremble, and her eyes grew slick.
“I’m sorry, miss man…” she tried again.
Mrs. Randolph kept her back angled away as she scrubbed at her skirt, and Ilana imagined the look of gussied-up annoyance that would show on her face when she turned around. But when she finally turned back to the group, her face was smooth and easy, and Ilana even thought she saw a small smile beginning to sprout between her mother’s cheeks.
“That’s alright, sweetheart,” Mrs. Randolph said quietly. “Here.” She held a bright pink cookie in the air. “Now, remember: next time, just say ‘May I have a cookie?’”
“May I have a cookie, Miss Man-off?” The child repeated. Mrs. Randolph nodded. She placed the cookie at the center of a napkin, and gave it over. “Yes, you may. And my name’s Joy.”
Ann Master beamed, her smile so thick it could have oozed from a tube. DeShawn took this as his chance to jump in, prodding the child: “Say ‘Thank you, Mrs. Joy,’” which the child did between mouthfuls.
“Very good,” Mrs. Randolph said in a lilt that stunned Ilana. “That’s right. You’re welcome.”
Ilana watched her mother talk to the child, her face and body transforming like the features of a blow-up doll slowly filling out with air. A brightness shone in both Ann’s and her mother’s eyes as they instructed the child in the social choreography of this house, this world: Say please, Mrs. Say thank you, Mrs. Very good. That’s right. It relieved Ilana and nauseated her at once.
DeShawn bent to gather the wet rags and Ilana moved with him, eager to be out of sight.
“Look at them,” Ann said to Mrs. Randolph, her voice heavy with conspiratorial warmth. “Makes you wonder how long it’ll be before they’re having babies of their own.” She darted her eyes first at DeShawn and then at Ilana.
Mrs. Randolph nodded, her smile full-on now.
“Ilana–” Ann and Mrs. Randolph said in unison. Then they laughed. Mrs. Randolph’s laugh was timid at first. But Ann’s was deep and hearty and from the gut, and Ilana could hear her mother’s laugh start to take root, too.
“Why don’t you join us?” Ann said, moving the baby bag aside and patting the cushion of the seat next to her.
“Yes.” Mrs. Randolph looked up at Ilana, her face simpler and stranger than Ilana had ever seen it look before. “You should. Feel free.”
Ilana paused, wishing she could take a picture of the moment and keep it in her pocket for later—a havoc of babies wreaked on her mother’s dining room floor, two Grange Women merrily peeling layers off themselves to put things back in order, and all this the work of several utterly uninvited guests. She felt happy enough for the people that filled the room, but thrilled for her own freedom to leave it. She regretted only that there was no one she could tell the whole story to—at least no one she knew yet.
“No, thank you,” she said. Her voice was a polite perfection.
A child whined and a baby gurgled as Ilana walked around the brownstone, gathering her box cutters and her spray cans, placing them carefully in her backpack, one by one. By the time she made it back down to the vestibule, the laughter had struck up again, louder this time, and now DeShawn had joined in. She zipped her jacket, slung her bag over her shoulder, and locked the door behind her, not bothering to say goodbye. The chill of the afternoon sank deep into her skin from all directions, against her legs and her empty palms, pushing her forward as she walked, and hummed, and reviewed the days.

The New Audi RS 6 Avant Performance and RS 7 Sportback Performance
By Toimitus | 23.10.2015 - 01:27 | 23.10.2015 ENGLISH

Even more performance coupled with outstanding efficiency – that is what is behind the new “performance” model designation at Audi. The Audi RS 6 Avant performance* and Audi RS 7 Sportback performance* further hone the brand’s sporty profile. Their 4.0 TFSI engine with 445 kW (605 hp) and up to 750 Nm (553.2 lb ft) of torque push acceleration (3.7 seconds) nearly to levels usually reserved for supercars. Fuel consumption remains unchanged at 9.6 and 9.5 liters per 100 kilometers (24.5 and 24.8 US mpg), respectively, corresponding to 223 and 221 g CO2 per km (358.9 and 355.7 g/mi). These are best-in-segment figures.
The new Audi RS 6 Avant performance and the new Audi RS 7 Sportback performance offer more power output than ever before. The 4.0 TFSI now produces 445 kW (605 hp) and maximum torque of 700 Nm (516.3 lb-ft). A particular highlight of the engine is an overboost function allowing the driver to temporarily draw on up to 750 Nm (553.2 lb-ft). The two RS high-performance models sprint like supercars from 0 to 100 km/h (62.1 mph) in just 3.7 seconds, an improvement of 0.2 seconds over the respective base RS model. They need just 12.1 seconds to accelerate from 0 to 200 km/h (124.3 mph), 1.4 seconds less than the base RS models. With the optional dynamic package, top speed can be increased from 250 to 280 and 305 km/h (155 to 174 and 189.5 mph), respectively. Despite the output boost of 33 kW (45 hp), the sonorous V8 biturbo power unit consumes just 9.6 and 9.5 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers (24.5 and 24.8 US mpg), respectively, corresponding to 223 and 221 g CO2(358.9 and 355.7 g/mi).
These top figures for power and efficiency are made possible by the technological expertise of Audi and quattro GmbH. Engineering skills and long years of experience with RS high-performance models went into further optimizing the 4.0 TFSI, from the specific engine management system with increased rpm and boost pressure to the Audi cylinder on demand (COD) system, which only activates four of the eight cylinders when under part load.
The standard eight-speed tiptronic has been designed for extreme sportiness in both the new RS 6 Avant performance and the new RS 7 Sportback performance. The driver can choose between the modes D and S or change gears manually either by tapping the selector lever or by using the shift paddles on the RS multifunction sport leather steering wheel. In manual mode, a shift indicator in the driver information system or optional head-up display indicates the rev limit.

Quattro permanent all-wheel drive delivers the power to the road and flexibly distributes torque as needed via the center differential. In the standard configuration, 40 percent flows to the front axle and 60 percent to the rear axle. The wheel-selective torque control intervenes as necessary. Audi also equips the quattro drivetrain with an optional sport differential on the rear axle with active torque distribution between the inside and outside wheel.
With its dynamic setup, the standard RS adaptive air suspension lowers the body of the RS 6 Avant performance and RS 7 Sportback performance by 20 millimeters (0.8 in). The integrated damping control varies as a function of the road conditions, driving style and the mode chosen in Audi drive select. Audi offers the tauter RS sport suspension plus with Dynamic Ride Control (DRC) as an alternative. An additional option is dynamic steering with a continuously variable steering ratio.
The driver can adjust the function of key components using Audi drive select, including the steering, engine and sound management, the tiptronic and the optional sport differential. New in the performance models: Similar to the new Audi R8 high-performance sports car, the driver can switch between the modes auto, comfort, dynamic and individual without taking his or her eyes off the road using a special button on the RS multifunction sport leather steering wheel.
The new RS performance models come standard with exclusive 21‑inch cast aluminum wheels shod with size 285/30 tires on the RS 6 Avant performance and 275/30 tires on the RS 7 Sportback performance. The four internally ventilated brake disks have a weight-saving wave design; as an option, Audi offers carbon fiber-ceramic disks. Electronic Stabilization Control (ESC) has a Sport mode and can be deactivated if need be.
Striking design details reinforce the preeminent position of the two new RS performance models. These include the sportily designed bumpers with large air inlets up front and the heavily profiled diffuser insert at the rear, the gloss black honeycomb grille typical of the RS models and the flared side sills. The RS performance-specific exterior is distinguished by a quattro logo on the air inlet duct and add-on parts in matt titanium look. Audi offers the new exclusive paint finish Ascari blue, metallic as an option.
The sportily elegant interior of the RS 6 Avant performance and RS 7 Sportback performance comes standard with RS sport seats with pronounced side bolsters and integrated head restraints. Audi offers the seats in the color combination black and blue with the optional RS performance design package. This includes new seat upholstery in an Alcantara/leather combination with a honeycomb pattern and matching contrasting stitching on the armrests, control elements and floor mats. Rounding out this interior combination are knee pads in Alcantara and carbon twill blue inlays. This sophisticated and exclusive carbon material is interwoven with a blue thread. The dial instruments feature black faces, white dials and red needles.
The new Audi RS 6 Avant performance costs 117,000 euros in Germany; the new Audi RS 7 Sportback performance 121,700 euros. The two new models will be available at dealers beginning in November.

FLYOVER SHOW 2012 – Celebrating Jamaica
The Flyover Show 2012, “celebrates the cultural contributions of Jamaica to Britain throughout its programme”, says founder Soweto Kinch.
Artists performing at the event; alongside a preceding series of workshops held in schools across the city, will explore and represent Jamaica’s influence in the UK, “both historically and as a dynamic force in contemporary culture.”

Birmingham is also host to the Jamaican track and field 2012 Olympic team, who will be staying and training in the city before the games.
“Jamaica, much like its athletics team, has imparted a cultural phenomena and impact far beyond its relative size as an island,” says Kinch.
“The Flyover Show 2012 will explore, through a variety of platforms, how it (Jamaica) has provided a badge of identity in the face of racial marginalization.”
Previous shows have explored other pertinent issues of race and culture; including the portrayal of women in the music industry, and positive Black male role models.
“The Flyover Show 2012 intends to continue and extend its pattern of connecting different generations through its rostra,” concludes Kinch.
The Flyover Show was created and founded by Soweto Kinch.

The second Monday at Wimbledon, it’s the best day of t...
February 15, 2011 by Mike
The second Monday at Wimbledon, it’s the best day of the tennis calendar, known as Tennis Nirvana
Below is copy of New York Times article from last years Wimbledon.
There was Roger Federer escaping, just barely, in five sets, in the first match on Centre Court. There was the Queen of England’s first visit in 33 years, Rafael Nadal’s sore right knee, and, of course, the longest match in professional tennis history: the John Isner-Nicolas Mahut trilogy, as Roddick appropriately called it.
“If you guys are struggling for story lines,” Roddick told reporters, “you need to get a different job, fast.”
The last few years unfolded similarly at Wimbledon, said Roddick, who was part of the epic 2009 duel in the final with Federer. For reasons, he offered the tournament’s status as “the mecca of our sport,” a small percentage of interesting events and a large percentage of “fortunate coincidences” that “only add to the spectacle and drama inside these grounds.”
Now, after the traditional middle Sunday break, comes a Monday just as likely to be remembered. Some call the second Monday at Wimbledon the most exciting, intriguing and spectacular day on the sport’s calendar, a tennis nirvana.
Unlike at other Grand Slam tournaments, each of the 16 men and 16 women remaining in the singles draw play for berths in the quarterfinals on one day. And this second Monday, of all second Mondays, is bursting with promise, oozing potential.
The only comparable day in tennis, players said, is Super Saturday at the United States Open, when the men’s semifinals and the women’s final are played. If forced to choose between that day and the second Monday here, Roddick said he would choose Wimbledon, “purely on the basis of numbers.”
Top-seeded Serena Williams described the atmosphere in the locker rooms on the second Monday as intense. “No one really wants to go out,” she said. “Everyone is really fighting, really serious. It’s all business in there.”
This year, particularly on the women’s side, matchups that once were Grand Slam finals will take place in the fourth round. Like Williams’s bout against Maria Sharapova, a rematch of the 2004 final that Sharapova won, catapulting her out of anonymity.
Or Justine Henin’s meeting with Kim Clijsters, in the battle of the Belgians. It will be their 24th career match and their third this year, with the last two contests decided by third-set tie breakers.
“In our first career, we never played our best tennis against each other,” Henin said recently. “It’s a great opportunity for both of us. I mean, to play each other in a Grand Slam, it’s something we couldn’t have expected a year ago.”
Clijsters and Henin grew up together on tennis’s international stage, arriving and retiring almost simultaneously.
Henin played with touch, with feel, with slice shots so natural she seemed born to hit them. She made the Australian Open final earlier this year. Clijsters played with power and attitude, and after she gave birth, she won the United States Open last year, as if she never left.
They departed and returned for different reasons. Even their comebacks seemed timed.
Both listed winning Wimbledon among the reasons they returned, and when they came back, they became closer than before, like those years away from tennis had closed a gap between them. They teased each other with text messages and played in the Federation Cup.
Henin proved to herself that she could exist without tennis. Clijsters proved that she could have both tennis and the family that she wanted.
“The challenge is to find a good balance between that and being a tennis player again,” Henin said. “I wouldn’t say I’ve changed, but I grew up. I learned a lot of things.”
Clijsters and Henin will resume their rivalry on Court 1, so deep is this Monday madness. They will be followed by Novak Djokovic, the third seed, against Lleyton Hewitt, the rapidly ascending 15th seed, in a match many observers say is the most likely to produce an upset, mainly because Hewitt said his hip problems had disappeared.
On Centre Court, fans will find three matches of high quality: Roger Federer (1) against Jürgen Melzer (16), Williams versus Sharapova, and Andy Murray (4) against Sam Querrey (18).
Murray, in front of the home fans, has yet to lose a set. Querrey has recovered from a disastrous French Open, in which he cited mental lapses after losing and later admitted he had not tried his hardest in defeat. He won the Queen’s Club grass-court tournament before advancing to the second week of Wimbledon.
“I’m very proud of myself and the way I’ve been playing, and the way I’ve handled myself on the court,” he said. “This is what I’m going to do for the rest of the year.”
On Sunday, the remaining players each logged light practice time and rested their weary bodies for the second week. A second week that promises to be dramatic, if form holds.
A favorite? Serena and Venus Williams remain obvious choices. On the men’s side, where for only the second time in the Open era the top three seeds (Federer, Nadal, Djokovic) needed at least one five-set victory in the first three rounds to advance, the picture has been muddied. Each of those three could win it, but so could either Andy (Murray or Roddick) or Robin Soderling.
“It was kind of like this global event,” Roddick said.
He meant Isner-Mahut and the longest match. But he could have meant the tournament’s first week, this Monday or this Wimbledon.

Never Underestimate the Bolo Tie, Baby
My family has roots in New Mexico going back for centuries. I have ancestors on my dad’s side of the family that immigrated to New Mexico from Spain back in the 1600s when the area was that country’s colony. Lots of Sanchez’s and Chavez’s in my lineage. Other ancestors of mine from Switzerland, France, and Nova Scotia also settled in New Mexico in the 19th and early 20th centuries.
My mom’s parents transplanted to Albuquerque when my grandfather took the position of Regional Forester of the Southwestern Region of the U.S. Forest Service. They lived there for over 30 years.
Needless to say, I spent a lot of my childhood in New Mexico. I love that state. The scenery, the smells, the food (green chili on all the things!), and the art. The state’s tagline is quite apt: it is indeed the land of enchantment.
Grandpa Hurst in one of his signature bolo ties.
One thing I noticed on my visits to New Mexico is that a good number of residents sport bolo ties. My Grandpa Hurst regularly rocked one himself and amassed an extensive collection of them over the course of his career as an Albuquerque-based forester. There’s a reason for the prevalence of bolo ties in New Mexico: it’s the state’s official neckwear. As it is in Arizona, too. American Indians living all over the desert Southwest are famous for making and wearing bolo ties.
For most of my life, I associated this unique type of neckwear with old men, New Mexican politicians, and the 1980s. Even though as an Okie the bolo tie isn’t foreign to my state, I never thought I’d personally sport one.
That all changed at my grandfather’s funeral.
When we laid him to rest, each of his grandsons who served as pallbearers sported one of Grandpa’s old bolo ties.
I picked one from his collection that stuck out to me. It’s a silver keystone with an oval piece of turquoise inlaid in it. Simple, but distinguished.
I was wearing a pair of dark jeans, cowboy boots, white shirt, and brown sport coat. It’s a getup my grandpa would have worn. Rugged, yet refined.
I put the bolo tie on and gave myself a look in the mirror. I was expecting to feel awkward and self-conscious wearing it, but to my pleasant surprise, I thought it actually looked quite sharp on me.
“With that mustache and bolo tie, you look like a character from a Cormac McCarthy novel,” said one of my cousins. Since I’m a fan of McCarthy’s Border Trilogy, that was a nice compliment indeed.
When I got home, I put Grandpa’s bolo tie away in my treasure box. I had no intention of ever wearing it again because young guys just don’t wear bolo ties.
But one Sunday, a few weeks after his funeral, I was putting on my charcoal suit for church and reaching for my regular necktie, when the thought came to me: “Wear Grandpa’s bolo tie.”
I pulled it out of my treasure box and put it on. I thought it wouldn’t look very good with a traditional grey business suit.
“Well I’ll be damned,” I thought, echoing one of my grandfather’s catchphrases as I looked in the mirror. “This is a good look. A great look.”
I walked out to the kitchen to get Kate’s opinion. I thought she’d giggle and think that I looked dorky or was trying to be ironic.
“That looks way, way better than I thought it would,” she said.
The Mrs. was sold on the bolo tie too.
At church, I got all sorts of compliments from folks. And it gave me a chance to talk to them about my grandpa. The bolo tie was a big hit.
Since that day, the bolo tie has become a regular part of my wardrobe. They’re a great way for me to express my New Mexican heritage and remember my grandfather, and they definitely set me apart from the pack. Nothing makes a man stand out like wearing a piece of braided leather string held together by a piece of metal. It’s a statement piece, par excellence.
The bolo tie is not to be underestimated, my friends, and I think it’s due a comeback.
If you’ve been thinking about sporting one, but always felt a bit sheepish about it or weren’t sure how to do it without looking like you’re attending a Western or 1980s-themed party, consider this your guide to the way of the bolo.
A Bolo Tie By Any Other Name Is Still a Bolo Tie
A bolo tie consists of a braided leather cord with silver or metal tips. The cord is threaded through a slide or clasp made of metal, wood, or beads. The clasp is typically decorated or made in the shape of Western designs and motifs like bears, thunderbirds, horses, and cattle skulls. The clasps are often inlaid with turquoise or other precious stones. Some are embellished with Indian beading.
Bolo ties go by different names. Bola tie, cowboy tie, and string tie have all been used interchangeably. As long as it’s a braided cord clasped together and worn like a tie, it’s a bolo tie.
The History of the Bolo Tie
The exact origins of the bolo tie have been obscured by the desert sands of the American Southwest. Some historians say it was inspired by bandanas that Zuni and Navajo Indians wore around their neck and kept clasped together with a silver scarf slide. Someone got the idea to substitute a piece of a leather string for the fabric and boom! The bolo tie was born.
Historian Bill Krammer literally wrote the book on bolo ties: Bola Tie: New Symbol of the West. According to him, the origins of the bolo tie can be traced back to a serendipitous moment Arizona silversmith Victor E. Cedarstaff experienced while chasing wild horses in the 1940s. While on the chase, Cedarstaff’s silver-clasped hatband slipped off, causing his hat to fly away. He salvaged his hatband and slipped it over his neck for safekeeping. His companeros noticed and complimented his new “tie.” The rest is southwestern style history.
Cedarstaff created a line of ties inspired by the incident. He braided leather, placed silver tips on the ends to keep them from fraying, and then joined the strands with a turquoise stone to be used as an adjustable clasp. He applied for a patent, calling his creation the bola tie, named after the boleadoras cords used by Argentinian cowboys.
While the exact origin of the bolo tie is uncertain, we do know it indeed emerged in the American Southwest sometime during the 1940s. It’s served as an artistic medium for American Indian artists and Southwestern silversmiths ever since.
Bolo ties became Western style staples during the 1950s and 1960s. Businessmen and politicians living in the Southwest wore bolo ties to work in lieu of traditional neckties.
The bolo tie jumped the pond to the United Kingdom in the 1950s and became a favorite style accessory among “Teddy Boys.”
The Boss got in on the 80s bolo tie trend, rocking it on the cover of his 1987 album.
During the 1980s, the bolo tie became a nationwide fad in the United States thanks to rockabilly revivalists like Brian Setzer and the Stray Cats, and New Wave artists who wore them in music videos on newly minted MTV. Bolo ties could also be seen around the necks of several television and movie celebrities during this time. For example, before he was the nerdy dad in Two and a Half Men, Jon Cryer was a hot 1980s movie icon thanks to his breakout role as bolo tie-wearing Duckie Dale in Pretty In Pink.
Like most things during the 1980s, the bolo tie was worn in excess and soon became a tired fad. During the 1990s and 2000s, it went back to being a style piece worn mainly by cowboys and Indians living in the American Southwest.
But in recent years, the bolo tie has been popping up again. San Diego Chargers QB Philip Rivers caused a stir and bolo tie shortage in San Diego when he started wearing them to press conferences. Bruno Mars is a fan of the bolo tie. Hell, even Snoop Dog will rock a quasi-bolo every now and then.
Where to Get Bolo Ties
Of course famous photographer Ansel Adam wore a bolo tie — the guy had an eye for aesthetics.
Bolo ties come in a wide range of prices, from a few bucks to a few thousand dollars.
If you’re just stepping your toes into the world of bolo ties and don’t want to spend too much money, thrift stores and eBay are your friends. There are tons of affordable, vintage bolo ties there. What I think happens is some old man who had a considerable collection of bolo ties dies. None of his kids or grandkids want them, so they get sold in an estate sale or donated to Goodwill.
The bolo ties you find online or at thrift stores will be a mixed bag. Some will have authentic turquoise made by Indian artists and craftsmen, while others will be Made in China pieces from the 1980s bolo tie craze. At this point, don’t worry about the authenticity, just buy the ones you like.
You can also find new bolo ties at most Western clothing stores in your area. These will be a mixture of handcrafted and mass-produced ties.
You may find that your bolo tie itch has been scratched by these affordable ties. But should you catch the bolo tie bug and want something much more primo, you’ll need to make a trip to the American Southwest where you’ll find craftsmen who create these ties as real works of art. They hand shape and hand pound the silver for the clasp as well as use authentic turquoise from the area. Instead of silver, some make clasps from intricate weaving and beading. You’ll find both new and vintage pieces made by famous artists in most jewelry stores in the Southwest. Expect to pay a few hundred to a few thousand dollars for these pieces.
How to Wear a Bolo Tie
So you’ve got your bolo tie. How do you wear it so it actually looks good? Here are a few tips:
Own it. Bolo ties are controversial. They’re like bow ties or seersucker suits: People either love them or hate them. So if you’re going to wear a bolo tie, you got to own it — people’s opinions be damned. If you look embarrassed or sheepish wearing a bolo tie, it’s just going to look goofy on you. Wear it boldly!
Consider your geography. Bolo ties are an American Southwest style staple, and are associated with cowboys, Indians, industries like ranching, oil, and gas, and more rural, frontier areas. If you have a connection to one or more of those things, the bolo tie will look more natural around your neck.
If you live east of the Mississippi and don’t have these connections, the bolo tie will look more out of place.
Westerners have a lot more freedom to wear bolo ties on a regular basis and even at formal occasions like weddings and funerals. If you want to sport a bolo tie on the regular, take advantage of that liberty.
Easterners are likely limited to wearing a bolo tie to a club or a night out on the town where being a bit fashion forward and breaking the style rules are accepted. Even then, unless you have some sort of connection to the American West, the tie will likely come off as ironic rather than sincere.
Wear with Western or buttoned-down shirts. Because of their rugged and casual appearance, bolo ties are best matched with a more casual dress shirt like a Western dress shirt or any shirt with a buttoned down collar like an oxford or denim shirt. Add a sport coat with some texture and you’ve got a real sharp look.
Some folks have taken to wearing bolo ties like a necklace, sporting them with t-shirts. In my opinion, this strays too far from the bolo tie’s classic Western roots and just looks weird. Stick with shirts that have a collar.
Wear it like a regular necktie for a more formal look. The bolo tie was originally made to be worn exactly like a necktie. Button all the buttons on the front of your shirt, including the top collar button, and then slide the clasp all the way to the top of your neck. Button down the collars to your shirt.
Keepin’ it loose.
Wear it looser for a more casual look. If you’re pairing the bolo with a more casual get-up, unbutton the top button of your shirt and wear the bolo a bit more loosely around your neck.
Wear it with a suit, if you wish. Can you wear a bolo tie with a suit? You bet. It takes some chutzpah to do so though, because of the casual nature of the bolo tie. You don’t need to pair a special Western suit with the bolo. You can wear one with a traditional suit that you already have. Just wear a buttoned-down oxford, and you’re good to go. A bolo would look really weird with a spread collar.
My go-to look for the bolo tie: A pair of dark denim jeans, white button-down oxford, a brown sport coat, and a pair of cowboy boots. Simple. Classic. And the perfect combination of rugged and refined.
That’s what I like. Experiment to find what works for you. And never underestimate the bolo tie, baby.

The work on this camp began in 1983, the Auditorium, Dormitories and other structures were built for the annual convention of that year. The General Overseer moved in on the 1st October 1985, and the work on the camp has continued since then because of the cooperation of the Elders, Pastors, Ministers, Workers and the wonderful congregation of the church, as all of them have been faithfully committed to the expansion going on here.Before moving to the camp, there were a lot of problems getting such a place. A family offered land at Alakuko, but it was not conducive for what the G.O had in mind.
Pa J. Akindayomi
When the G.O finally settled down for this place, everyone agreed with him, To begin with, the place was found out to be somewhere easy to relocate to and accessible to members who would come from Abeokuta, Ibadan, Ilesa, Ilorin, Akure and other places.Living there was initially out of mind, all that was planned was somewhere that would accommodate church members during conventions.
The place was a forest occupied mainly by snakes and other dangerous animals. The Lagos-Ibadan expressway was under construction then and was very notorious because of the activities of armed robbers. The villages did not give much problems, Of course both parties had the initial problem of getting used to each other in order to tolerate each other, but the Lord gave the wisdom to commence evangelization work immediately.
Pastor E.A Adeboye
The wife of the General Overseer, Pastor Folu Adeboye led the team of Evangelists who went round all the adjoining villages, while dealing with them in love. The result is that almost all the villages now have a parish of The Redeemed Christian Church Of God, and some of the villagers have even become pastors in the church. What is being experienced in the camp (CITY) now is the manifestation of a prophetic statement uttered by the General Overseer himself when he was staying in a one-room apartment given to him by the late founder of the church as some of the Elders were worrid about the accommodation the G.O was using. The issues of the G.O's accommodation came up during a meeting and the G.O told them that his Daddy (God Almighty) would give him a city, The elders did not understand at that time as they were praying for a flat or a bungalow, or even a duplex at the very best, and he came up with a city. The rest is now History.
There is no place as peaceful and secure as the Redemption camp. You are welcome to the Redemption Camp in Jesus name. AMEN.

Episode 235 – Liz Hand and John Clute
Virtual Memories Show 235:
Liz Hand and John Clute
http://traffic.libsyn.com/virtualmemories/Episode_235_-_Liz_Hand_and_John_Clute.mp3
“I think of a collector as a gardener, rather than someone who just buys books. Like gardeners, they do a lot of murdering. They cull books.”
It’s another Readercon episode! First, Liz Hand rejoins the show for a little conversation about what she’s been reading lately (it’s some creepy stuff, of course), the regenerative aspects of Readercon, why the novella is ideal for dark/spooky fiction, and whether the attendee wearing an ASIA t-shirt is doing so ironically. Then John Clute talks about the ruins of futurity and the launch of the Clute Science Fiction Library at Telluride Institute. We get into the need for visual presentation and accessibility of original books in their context (including dust jackets), his transition from book accumulator to collector, the externalization of one’s mind into one’s library, why he doesn’t write fiction, the Easter eggs he sneaks into the Science Fiction Encyclopedia, why Galaxy Quest is the best Star Trek movie (except for Wrath of Khan), reaching a uniform degree of incompletion, generational shifts in SF/F, and the sneaky adoption of Fantastika. Give it a listen! And go buy Liz Hand’s new collection, Fire. , and her Cass Neary novels: Generation Loss , Available Dark , and Hard Light !
“Most scholars, academic institutions, libraries are not interested in context. In that sense, the Science Fiction Library at Telluride is transgressive.”
Enjoy the conversation! Then check out the archives for more great episodes!
Lots of ways to follow The Virtual Memories Show! iTunes, Twitter, Instagram, Soundcloud, Facebook, Tumblr, and RSS!

Добавлено: Ср Сен 11, 2019 5:45 am Заголовок сообщения: Andrew Luck started Sunday by carving up Jacksonville’s stau
He finished it by playing the eager spectator.After throwing three first-half touchdown passes and picking up only two first downs in the second half Ryquell Armstead Jersey , he celebrated when the Indianapolis Colts‘ defense delivered the decisive turnover with 90 seconds left to preserve a 29-26 victory over the Jaguars.“We played well enough in the first half to put some points on the board,” Luck said. “Then we survived.”Barely survived, that is.Trailing by three, Jacksonville quickly marched from its 42-yard line into field goal range, and when Rashad Greene Sr. went down at the Colts’ 23, it looked like the Jaguars were already set up for at least a tying field goal. Initially, Greene was ruled down before the ball squirted out.But just before the Jags (3-6) ran the next play, the whistles blew for a booth review. A few minutes later, the call was overturned, giving the ball and the game to the Colts, who have won three straight for the first time in three years.“I thought we got the play off, but obviously Gardner Minshew II Jersey , we didn’t,” Jags coach Doug Marrone said before elaborating later. “Personally, I thought it wasn’t a fumble. But I see what everybody sees from the sideline.”Last year’s AFC runner-ups were a popular preseason pick to dethrone New England. Instead, the Jags have lost five straight, six of seven and are last in the division.And they don’t get more painful than this.Jacksonville had an extra point blocked and nearly returned for a 2-point conversion in the first half.Two 15-yard penalties helped Indy score its fourth touchdown, a 1-yard pass from Luck to Mo Alie-Cox late in the second quarter. An offside call on the ensuing extra point prompted coach Frank Reich to go for two, which Marlon Mack punched it in to make it 29-13.Jacksonville kicker Josh Lambo missed his first field goal of the season, a 52-yarder, wide left in the third quarter but then made a 55-yarder to cut the deficit to three with 4:03 left.Finally, Kenny Moore III sealed the Jags’ fate by ripping the ball away from Greene just before his leg went down and Malik Hooker scooped it up.“Offensively we’re looking to improve, put that thing away,” Reich said. “But make no mistake about it: This was a huge win for us.”Luck started fast Christian Wilkins Jersey , hooking up with Eric Ebron on a 53-yard TD pass seven plays into the game.After Donte Moncrief tied it on an 80-yard scoring play, Ebron answered with a 2-yard TD run to make it 14-7. Luck connected with Ebron again on a 12-yard TD pass, giving the tight end a career-high third score with 9:19 left in the first half.Luck finished 21 of 29 with 285 yards, one interception and was not sacked.Blake Bortles was 26 of 38 with 320 yards and two TD passes while Leonard Fournette had 53 yards rushing, 56 yards receiving and his first two scores of the season — one on the ground, one through the air.It just wasn’t enough.“It’s a good defense, a lot of respect for that defense,” Luck said. “We certainly weren’t sharp enough.”INJURY REPORTJaguars: Center Brandon Linder and offensive tackle Ereck Flowers both left in the third quarter with knee injuries.Colts: Defensive end Carroll Phillips left in the first half with an injured groin. Defensive tackle Grover Stewart left with an injured ankle in the fourth quarter. Neither returned.AUTOMATIC ADAMThe Colts honored the NFL’s new career scoring leader, Adam Vinatieri, before the game with a brief highlight film and the distinction of being the last starter introduced to the crowd, which roared.Vinatieri responded by waving to the crowd and slapping hands with some fans on the field. Then he added three more points to his record-breaking total (2,553) before missing a 52-yard attempt wide right with 2:58 left in the game.He also tied George Blanda for the most regular-season wins in league history (209).STAT PACKJaguars: Fournette had 29 touches Michael Deiter Jersey , 24 carries and five receptions, in his third game this season. … Punter Logan Cooke completed a 4-yard pass on a fake field goal, which kept the Jags’ 17-play drive alive to open the second half. The drive ended with Fournette’s 1-yard TD catch.Colts: Ebron finished with three catches for 69 yards. … Jack Doyle and Alie-Cox, Indy’s other two tight ends, combined for five catches and 64 yards. … Rookie Jordan Wilkins broke free for Indy’s longest run of the season (53 yards) in the first half.UP NEXTJaguars: Jacksonville can snap its losing streak next Sunday when it hosts Pittsburgh.Colts: Could get back into the AFC South race by beating Tennessee at home next Sunday. LAS VEGAS (AP) — Football fans in three states legally bet almost $185.5 million on the Super Bowl this year, with sportsbooks ending Sunday with mixed results and Nevada operators seeing the first drop in the total amount wagered on the game since 2015.The game between the New England Patriots and Los Angeles Rams was the first major professional sporting event to be posted on the boards of sportsbooks outside Nevada. All opened after the U.S. Supreme Court ended a federal ban on wagering on sports last year.Figures released Monday by gambling regulators in Nevada show people wagered $145.94 million at the state’s 200 sportsbooks, $12.65 million less than in 2018. Sportsbooks operators in New Jersey accepted about $34.9 million in wagers and lost money, while in Mississippi, fans bet around $4.67 million at non-tribal casinos.“I would characterize it as a solid day. It wasn’t a bad day or a great day; it was right in the middle,” said Jay Kornegay, vice president of race and sports book operations at Westgate Las Vegas Superbook.Nevada’s effective monopoly on sports betting ended last spring, when the Supreme Court ruled the ban should be lifted. Casinos in seven other states — Rhode Island Daniel Jones Jersey , Delaware, Mississippi, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, West Virginia and New Mexico — now accept wagers on sports. The list is expected to grow by next year.New Jersey gambling regulators said sportsbooks lost $4.6 million when they paid $39.5 million to those who won bets. Many gamblers backed the Patriots, who beat the Rams 13-3 and covered the spread of 2 1/2 points.Super Bowl Sunday “was by far our biggest day ever in New Jersey in terms of handle,” said Joe Asher, CEO of William Hill US, which runs sportsbooks at two casinos and a racetrack in New Jersey as well as dozens of sportsbooks in Nevada. “It was really good.”He said William Hill’s take for the day “was pretty much break even win/loss. We couldn’t be more pleased overall — the retail locations were strong, especially the Ocean Resort Casino, which had an unbelievable crowd.”DraftKings, which runs mobile wagering in New Jersey along with an in-person lounge at Resorts casino Dexter Lawrence Jersey , also set a new record for the amount wagered. Spokesman James Chisholm said the company paid out about $11 million in winning bets to customers, “and took a small, barely seven-figure loss.”The Westgate lost on the game itself, but did well on proposition bets — wagers on unique and various outcomes offered starting a few days ahead of the game — and on futures bets, which allow gamblers to wager on outcomes way in advance. Some bettors picked the Rams to win the title at the start of the season, for example, and lost their bet on Sunday.But one particular proposition bet had operators sweating. The Westgate and William Hill offered 500-1 and 300-1 odds respectively on no team scoring a touchdown.The game’s lone touchdown happened with seven minutes left on the fourth quarter.“We would have been carried off on a stretcher if it hit,” Asher said of the proposition bet.

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim takes place two hundred years after Oblivion. Instead of portals to the underworld opening up, dragons are suddenly appearing and are laying waste to helpless towns not equipped to handle their attacks. That’s where you, the Dragonborn, come into this epic story. As a Dragonborn, you can absorb a dragon’s soul after defeating it. These souls can be used to unlock words of power from their language granting you the ability to use their shouts as attacks. These shouts will be essential in defeating the dragon lord Alduin whose sole purpose is to destroy the world. It’s your destiny to stop him.
As if dragon attacks are not a big enough of a problem, there’s a civil war dividing Skyrim. The Empire is fighting against a Nord rebel named Ulfric. Ulfric killed the high king of Skyrim for agreeing to the peace treaty between the Empire and the High Elves that bans the worship of Talos. With violence, war, false religions, and racism, Skyrim is just as messed up as our world.
While you can choose a side and help unite Skyim, it’s not required to complete the main story. You will, however, earn a couple of Steam achievements for doing so. Besides the main quest, there are side quests and miscellaneous quests. Every town and guild has work or quests for you to do. Many times I willingly accepted them, but other times they were completely random and were added to my quest log, regardless.
Strong Points: Vast and beautiful world to explore with many caves, dungeons, and crypts to delve into. Great story, voice acting, and artificial intelligence makes this game fun and believable.
Weak Points: It’s not as graphically ground breaking as I would have hoped, but the world is still well designed and breathtaking regardless. The menu system is crippled and is an obvious port from the console versions of the game.
Moral Warnings: The violence is both bloody and intense; to draw it out even further the critical strikes are done in slow motion. Marriage is possible in this game, and you can marry whatever species and gender appeals to you. Fortunately, there are no sexual encounters. Magic, Assassins and Thieving guilds are around and looking to acquire those who wish to partake in these dark arts.
Most of the quests are rather involved and unique. I enjoyed solving a couple of murder mysteries and locating powerful relics in dungeon crypts. Some of the dungeons/caves are rather small with a couple of rooms, while other areas, such as the Dwemmer ruins, took me a whole night to clear. Some other quests are the typical deliver-a-letter/ bottle of rum/ axe (or some other item) to someone half way across the map.
Each town, ruin, and cave are unique and intricately designed. My hat goes off to the creators of these wonderful and massive maps. Since this game feels like a tweaked Oblivion engine, I was not blown away by the graphics. I was, however, impressed by the gorgeous landscapes and ancient ruins with waterfalls and unique puzzles to solve within. I felt like I was in an Indiana Jones movie at times.
The music adds to the experience and wonder of this game. Veterans of the Elder Scrolls series will recognize some of the tunes from Morrowind and Oblivion. The main theme is pretty much the Oblivion theme song with chanting (in the dragon language) slipped in. While I’m not a big fan of the chanting, I do like it in the boss battle music.
Speaking of boss battles, Skyrim has some serious balancing issues. I like how the cave and dungeon difficulties are calculated by your current level upon entering them. The dragons, on the other hand - I hate to say it - are pushovers. My housecarl and I can take down dragons with ease, but throw an ice troll or a drauger lord at us and we have to constantly backpedal our way out to replenish our health and magaicka.
Game Play: 19/20
Graphics: 9/10
Sound: 9/10
Stability: 3/5
Controls/Interface: 3/5
Violence: 1/10
Language: 7/10
Sexual Content: 2.5/10
Occult/Supernatural: 2/10
Cultural/Moral/Ethical: 7.5/10
The housecarl is a great addition and it’s nice to have a helping hand in battle and a mule to carry extra armor and weapons for me. As you do side quests, people will befriend you and are willing to follow you if you request for them to do so. If you decide to marry, your spouse can fight with you as well.
Getting married in Skyrim is not what you might expect. If you wish to get married in this game, you'll have to speak with a priest of Mara to buy an amulet. This amulet lets the world know that you're single and ready to mingle. Not everybody is interested, so don't get your hopes set too high. If you find a person interested in you, speak with the priest to set your wedding date. There is no courtship and no mushy talk until after you're married. Sweet talk is as far as it goes in this game. There are no love scenes but I did hear the "Lusty Argonian Maid" book mentioned so I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s floating around Skyrim somewhere. I'm glad they kept the game clean in that respect, but the developers did leave the option to marry whatever race or gender you wish. My wedding was rather interesting since my virtual spouse said "I do" and walked away before we were handed our rings. Once I found him again, we agreed on a place to live (my house) and I was able to get him to cook for me. It's not very exciting, but that's how marriage works in this game.
While the marriage aspect is new to Skyrim, many things carry over from the previous Elder Scrolls games. The Mages' College is worth checking out if you want to train and learn about the various magic classes. Necromancy is one of them. The Companions are similar to the fighter's guild of previous games, but they harbor a secret. The Thieves' Guild is heavily persecuted and not as prominent as they once were, while the Dark Brotherhood assassin’s guild is alive and well. Each of these guilds offers quests/jobs to work your way up their ranks.
The main story line takes about twenty hours to complete. Fortunately you can still play after you defeat Alduin. I have spent over fifty hours playing Skyrim and have become the leader of the Mages, Companions, became a war hero, and have single handedly wiped out the Dark Brotherhood. There are so many choices and quests that you can easily spend eighty or more hours in Skyrim.
As fun as this game is, it does have its downfalls. This review is based on version 1.1 so some of these issues may be addressed in future patches. The menu system on the PC version of the game is not very responsive for mouse users. I’m sure it works great for controllers with d-pads but I refuse to use a console controller for a PC game. I can’t tell you how many times I have heard the same dialogue over and over again because the dialogue menu did not register my selection correctly.
The interface and leveling system is completely revamped (some say dumbed down) from Morrowind and Oblivion. When your character levels up, you have to choose to increase your Health, Magic, or Stamina. You’ll also earn a skill point to spend on various perks. This perk system is very similar to the ones used in Fallout 3 or New Vegas. The slow motion critical hits, and some of the sound effects, are also taken from the Fallout games as well. To put it bluntly, if you combine Oblivion with Fallout 3 and add dragons, you get Skyrim.
The dragons have their fair share of bugs too. I have a habit of saving often, especially in boss battles. My battle with Alduin has a glitch that appeared in two different game saves. The glitch I experienced is Alduin being stuck in the sky. The only solution was for me to reload and try again. I wonder how such an important battle could have a bug like this overlooked in beta testing.
Spiritually speaking, this game earns its mature rating for several reasons. The violence is intense, bloody, and drawn out in slow motion. There’s no disabling or avoiding it. The same goes for foul language with the occasional d*mn and b**tard. Magic use is optional, but it will be used on you regardless. I have already discussed how marriage works and that you can marry the same gender. Some of the tribal NPC's wear skimpy outfits, but there is no nudity. There are some guilds that are dark in nature including the Dark Brotherhood and a coven of cannibals that eat human corpses. I was not forced to join any of these guilds. I felt I was in charge of my game play experience, and how good or evil you want to be. The religious system is clearly based on the Norse beliefs, and I did not find any references to Christ anywhere. The main quest did have me visit Sovengarde (Skyrim's version of Valhalla).
The references to the afterlife got me thinking a bit. One of the NPC’s is concerned about his soul, and asks for your help in curing him so that he may have eternal rest. Sadly, when you return from this quest, he is killed. The way I felt was similar to knowing someone that isn't saved passing away. In this game, you can still redeem their soul. In Skyrim you may get a happy ending, but real life doesn’t work that way.
While Skyrim has its moral and game flaws, it’s still an epic adventure and a great addition to the Elder Scrolls series. Dumbed down or not, I liked the new leveling system and the added abilities to craft armor and weapons from scratch, and the changes to the enchantment system. Although the game wasn't as ground breaking as I would have hoped, I did find it refreshing. Those that love role playing games will enjoy this game, but make sure the moral content doesn't bother you before parting with $60.

And a Fifth WAAS Satellite Coming
Postby jimh » Thu Dec 15, 2016 12:36 pm
Raytheon has selected the Luxemburg satellite operator SES to host the WAAS GEO6 payload aboard their SES-15 satellite. SES-15 is being built by Boeing Space and Intelligence Systems. It is planned for launch in mid-2017 and will be positioned in geostationary earth orbit (GEO) at longitude slot 129-West.
The SES-15/GEO6 Boeing satellite platform host will be another all-electric satellite, using the same platform as was used for GEO5/SatMex9/EUTELSAT 117 West B. Boeing calls this their all-electric 702SP (small platform) space vehicle. It is intended as a lighter weight and lower electrical power version of their larger 702 space vehicle.
SES has experience hosting GNSS space-based augmentation systems (SBAS); it is the host satellite operator for the European SBAS called EGNOS.
A mid-2017 launch suggests that the SES-15 satellite will not rise to GEO orbit until very late 2017 or early 2018.
In addition to the hosted payload for WAAS, SES-15 will also provide in-flight entertainment and WiFi service to aircraft in its coverage area using a number of high throughput satellite (HTS) spot beams which cover North America and the aircraft routes to Hawaii. I have not seen any mention of a PRN number reserved for GEO6/SES-15 for its WAAS payload.
UPDATE: The contract between Raytheon and SES calls for 11 years of operation of the SES-15 satellite in space. This suggests the fifth WAAS satellite is anticipated to be in service until 2028.
Postby jimh » Wed May 24, 2017 3:18 pm
Executive Summary: a fifth WAAS satellite is now in orbit, but won't be likely to be operational until 2018.
On May 17, 2017 the SES-15 satellite was successfully launched from the Centre Spatial Guyanais in French Guiana.
SES-15's owner-operator is SES, a private company founded in 1985 in Luxembourg as the first European private satellite operator. In 2001 SES acquired GE AMERICOM and its thirteen satellites over North American, becoming SES AMERICOM. In 2011 the single branding of SES was implemented. By 2013 SES had 55 spacecraft in orbit, including many government spacecraft, particularly for the United States.
SES-15 was launched by ArianeSpace, founded in 1980 as the world's first private satellite launching company. They operate the space launch facility in French Guiana, in the Amazon jungle, near the equator.
SES-15 was carried aloft by a Soyuz ST-A (Soyuz 2-1a) rocket manufactured by Progress State Research and Production Rocket Space Center in Samara, Russia. The first stage consists of four boosters around a core rocket, with each booster powered by the RD-107A engine. After about two minutes of flight, the four boosters are jettisoned, and the core stage continues to burn as the second stage.
After about five minutes of powered flight, the core second state exhausts its propellant, and separates from the upper part of the rocket and the remaining payload. The third core stage, powered by an RD-0110 engine, ignites and continues to propel the rocket into space. At about nine minutes into the powered flight, the third stage is jettisoned, leaving the upper stage and satellite payload.
The upper stage ignites its Fregat rocket engine and continues lifting the satellite into a preliminary elliptical transfer orbit. At about 23.5 minutes into the flight, the Fregat engine is shut down, and the rocket and satellite coast in orbit for about four-and-a-half hours. The satellite is then likely in a elliptical orbit. The coasting phase waits for the satellite's orbit to reach a particular location when further propulsion will be very useful in modifying the orbit.
At nearly five hours into the flight the Fregat rocket engine is re-ignited for a short duration burn of approximately 50-seconds, to push the satellite payload toward a final circular orbit deployment. At this point the rocket and satellite separate, leaving the SES-15 satellite on its own. SES-15 will now execute the final orbital maneuvers to reach its ultimate geo-stationary orbit position by using its on-board all-electric ion drive system. This will take several months for the satellite to raise its orbit into the proper parameters and to work its way to its final location.
SES-15 was built by Boeing and is a Boeing 702SP (small platform) all-electric propulsion satellite that utilizes the xenon ion propulsion system (XIPS) for both orbit-raising and on-orbit maneuvering.
The Federal Aviation Administration have a hosted payload aboard SES-15 for a GPS space-based augmentation system (SBAS) payload for their Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) for aviation over North America. This hosted payload portion of SES-15 is referred to as GEO6 by the FAA.
The final geostationary orbital longitude for SES-15 is at 129-degrees-W longitude. This location will be four-degrees East of the present WAAS satellite carried on CRW or Galaxy 15 at position 133-degrees-W longitude. According to SPACEFLIGHTNOW.COM:
The ascent profile for Thursday’s launch placed the SES 15 satellite closer to its final perch in a circular geostationary orbit, where the spacecraft will loop around Earth’s equator at an altitude of nearly 22,300 miles (35,800 kilometers), the exact distance needed to move in concert with the planet’s rotation.
The unusual timing of the second Fregat firing will help shave several weeks off the time it will take to transition SES 15 into service, officials said.
The low-thrust xenon-ion jets on SES 15 will be activated in the coming weeks to nudge the satellite toward its final operating post. The orbit-raising maneuvers will take around 190 days to complete, according to Halliwell, and SES 15 should be operational by the end of December at 129 degrees west longitude.
The electric thrusters take longer to move between orbits than the conventional liquid-fueled engines carried by most communications spacecraft, but the tradeoff makes for a lighter satellite without giving up any capability. Without a heavy propellant tank, a satellite with the same broadcast capacity can launch on a smaller, less costly rocket.
With the SES-15 in orbit, the satellite's systems will have to be activated and verified. The GEO6 WAAS hosted payload will likely not be fully operational until 2018.
The actual WAAS transponder hosted payload was (apparently) built by Raytheon. In a press release a few days ago, Raytheon said, rather glibly, "Raytheon Company launched its GEO 6 satellite payload into orbit for its 12 year mission." That statement seems to ignore primary satellite owner and operator (SES), launch provided (ArianeSpace), rocket manufacturer ("Soyuz"), and host satellite manufacturer (Boeing). The WAAS transponder is bolted to the SES-15's nadir deck, and will depend on the SES-15 for its power and other subsystems. It seems a bit misleading to characterize Raytheon's role as it was described in their press release. Their payload more or less went along for the ride.

[Has] a PRN code been assigned for SES 15[?]
It's still undergoing orbit raising, but soon will reach geo-stationary orbit.
Postby jimh » Sat Nov 04, 2017 12:00 am
Assignment of PRN codes for SBAS for GPS is made by the U.S. Air Force, the operator of GPS. For assignments of L1-C/A PRN codes for SBAS signals, see:
https://media.defense.gov/2017/May/10/2 ... N%2017.PDF
I do not see a PRN code allocated for SES-15. The link for this document appears on the Air Force webpage at
http://www.losangeles.af.mil/About-Us/F ... signments/
which was published in May 2017. If there is a newer version of the document, I haven't found it.
Note that there is no such thing as a "NMEA number" in actual GPS satellite operation. The concept of NMEA renumbering PRN code number for SBAS is a workaround, probably for the NMEA original specification only providing two digits for the satellite "number" in the NMEA-0183 sentence GSV (Satellites in View). GPS satellites are identified by their PRN, and SBAS signals have three-digit PRN code numbers. To get three-digit PRN code numbers like 133 into a two-digit number, NMEA-0183 specifies that the NMEA number is the PRN code minus 87.

SES 15 has reached geo-stationary orbit. Now for SES to fine tune the orbit and place it at its operational orbital slot.
I am waiting to see what PRN code it gets assigned.

The GPSWORLD ALMANAC, a generally very good source of information about GNSS satellites, does not show a listing for a fifth WAAS satellite as of today.
You can get a PDF version of the ALMANAC from
http://gpsworld.com/wp-content/uploads/ ... ec2017.pdf
Regarding the WAAS satellite at 98-W, Inmarsat-4-F3, the ALMANAC notes:
As of July 18, 2015, Inmarsat-4-F3 indefinitely discontinued non-precision approach ranging service. The satellite transponder was retired in November 2017.
Perhaps the SES-15 satellite will be taking over that PRN (133). At the moment, there are only two unassigned PRN numbers in the SBAS PRN block of PRN 120 - 138, allocated to Space Based Augmentation System.
There is room for more PRN numbers is the block 139 - 158, allocated to Space Based Augmentation System Expansion/Testing.
Here is the list of current SBAS assignments, as of January 17, 2017:
PRN GNSS SATELLITE LON. STATUS
120 EGNOS (INMARSAT 3F2) 15.5 W Current
121 EGNOS (INMARSAT 3F5) 25 E Active until Apr 2024

KFETTER--thanks for the link to one of many other websites carrying the SES press release regarding SES-15, which will be the fifth WAAS satellite in orbit when it becomes operational.
There is still no sign of SES-15's WAAS signal on the FAA's real-time satellite map or an announcement that the WAAS signal is operational or even an announcement of a PRN for it. Actually, we are still waiting for the FAA to get the fourth satellite, EUTELSAT-117W B, into operation. See the other thread that has been watching that satellite for more information on Eutelsat-117W, soon to be operational as PRN-131 in the WAAS system.
Here is the full text of the press release from SES regarding their SES-15 satellite, which should be joining the WAAS system sometime this year:
SES-15 Enters Commercial Service to Serve the Americas
Luxembourg, 15 January 2018 – SES announced today that the new SES-15 spacecraft has been operational at the 129 degrees West orbital position since 1 January. As planned, the all-electric satellite took six months to reach its orbital position and to successfully complete its testing.
SES-15 carries a hybrid payload, comprising Ku-band wide beams and Ku-band High Throughput Satellite (HTS) capability, with connectivity to gateways in Ka-band. SES’s first hybrid satellite is equipped with 16 Ku-band transponders (36 MHz equivalent) as well as HTS capabilities to serve North America, Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean.
SES-15’s high throughput payload will deliver optimised and flexible coverage for major global inflight connectivity and entertainment (IFC/IFE) service providers, such as Global Eagle, Gogo and Panasonic Avionics. In addition, SES-15 has a dedicated wide beam that is designed to enable IFC/IFE providers to deliver live TV content on all flight routes across the US, including Hawaii and Alaska, as well as Canada, the Caribbean and Mexico. This unique combination of beams allows IFC/IFE providers to optimise HTS capacity use for internet traffic and wide beam coverage for broadcast content.
SES-15 also carries a Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) hosted payload, which will enable the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to augment existing Global Positioning Systems (GPS) with the goal of improving accuracy, integrity and availability of the system for the aviation industry.
SES-15 was successfully launched onboard a Soyuz rocket from the Guiana Space Centre in Kourou, French Guiana on 18 May 2017.
Martin Halliwell, Chief Technology Officer at SES, said, “An operational SES-15 has been much anticipated by our customers. The hybrid satellite, which has both wide beams and high throughput capability, empowers our aeronautical customers to offer even faster connectivity speeds to airlines. In addition, the WAAS hosted payload will enable the US FAA to improve GPS. The Boeing, Arianespace and SES teams have done an excellent job in making this possible."
The beginning of contracted services on SES-15's HTS payload represents an important milestone in supporting SES's future growth trajectory and its strategy to develop innovative and high-power capabilities for specific and dynamic markets. SES-15 will be followed by the launches of two more hybrid geostationary (GEO) satellites with widebeam / HTS capabilities, SES-14 and SES-12, as well as another four O3b medium earth orbit (MEO) satellites in the near future. SES-14 will serve the Americas and the Atlantic region, and SES-12 will cover Asia-Pacific, and the Middle East. Together with SES-17, another HTS which will be launched in 2021, they will offer a global, multi-frequency system for aeronautical, maritime, government and enterprise customers.

The press release announces the geostationary-orbit (GEO) satellite has raised its orbit and arrived on station. It may be several months before the WAAS transponder onboard is put into service.

A recent listing of PRN assignments dated January 2017 is available:
This is linked from the page at
Here is a portion of the data showing just WAAS or unallocated resources for the L1 C/A signal:
PRN ALLOCATION (SAT) LON STATUS
122 Unallocated --- ---
131 WAAS (Satmex 9) 117 W Active until Mar 2025
133 WAAS (INMARSAT 4F3) 98 W Active until Oct 2019
134 Unallocated --- ---
135 WAAS (IntelsatGalaxy15) 133 W Active until Sep 2017
138 WAAS (ANIK-F1R) 107.3 W Active until Sep 2017
There is also a publication for the L5 signal dated January 2017, and it has some interesting allocations:
134 WAAS (GEO5) Reserved Current
135 WAAS (IntelsatGalaxy15) 133 W Active until Sep 2017
138 WAAS (ANIK-F1R) 107.3 W Active until Sep 2017
Based on the L5 signal SBAS allocation, it looks like PRN 134 may be used for the next (fifth) WAAS satellite, identified only as "GEO5", but the signal will be on the L5 carrier, not on the L1 C/A carrier. Most present-day recreational-grade marine GPS receivers do have the ability to utilize the L5 carrier.
Since SES-15 is already in orbit and is carrying a WAAS transponder as a hosted payload, it seems quite certain that "GEO5" will be SES-15.
Postby jimh » Sun Oct 21, 2018 12:40 pm
A recent listing of PRN assignments dated 25 July 2018 is available:
https://media.defense.gov/2018/Aug/07/2 ... 202018.PDF
https://www.losangeles.af.mil/About-Us/ ... signments/
The new listing show several minor changes. For L1 C/A carrier, PRN 134 has now been allocated to a Korean SBAS. For the L5 signal, PRN 134 is no longer reserved for WAAS GEO5.
Here is a portion of the data:
L1 C/A signal:
PRN ALLOCATION (SAT) LON STATUS
131 WAAS (Eutelsat 117WB) 117 W Active until Mar 2028
133 WAAS (INMARSAT 4F3) 98 W Active until Oct 2029
135 WAAS (IntelsatGalaxy15) 133 W Active until Sep 2017
138 WAAS (ANIK-F1R) 107.3 W Active until Sep 2017
PRN 134 (previously in category unallocated) has now been allocated to the KAAS SBAS service on INMARSAT 5F3 at 178 E Longitude, also known as the KASS (Korean Area Satellite System). KASS is in development and is planned for aviation use in 2022.
There is also a publication for the L5 signal dated 25 July 2018, and it has some interesting allocations:
L5 signal:
131 WAAS (Eutelsat 117WB) 117 W Active until Mar 2025
Based on the L5 signal SBAS allocation, it looks like PRN 134 is no longer being reserved for the GEO5 satellite on SES-15.
According to THE ALMANAC at GPS World, the WAAS SBAS satellite SES-15 at 129 West using L1 C/A PRN 133 status is "Transmitting test signals" as of December 18, 2017.
Cf.: http://gpsworld.com/the-almanac/
With the SBAS signal (formerly sending PRN 133) from INMARSAT-4-F3 discontinued as of November 2017, it would appear that PRN 133 will be SES-15's identification once it goes into full service. The USAF listing still shows PRN 133 allocated to INMARSAT 4F3 at 98 West until October 2029.

It's showing SES 15 as the number 133. And 133 is shown in green.
So looks like, it's in active service now.

Posted on 7 January, 2020 by Isobel
2019 was a busy year for the School of Business, Economics and Informatics. Here are some of our research highlights.
Improving Diversity on Sport Boards
Dr Richard Tacon and Dr Geoff Walters from the Department of Management worked with Sport England to improve the diversity of board members in the sport and physical activity sector. The programme, unveiled in September, follows a series of studies demonstrating that sports governance lacks diversity, particularly with regards to ethnicity and disability.
Richard and Geoff have designed and implemented training materials as part of the initiative, which will identify and develop a pool of suitable candidates from under-represented groups. The intention is that sports organisations will then be able to turn to these people when recruiting for new board positions.
Diagnosing Gaming Disorder
Researchers led by Bruno Schivinski, Lecturer in Marketing, developed the first psychological test to check for ‘gaming disorder’, a new type of mental illness now recognised by the World Health Organisation.
Now accessible online, the test provides participants with feedback on their video game habits in comparison with the rest of the population. Research is ongoing to understand the point at which gaming becomes a health problem and the factors which contribute to the development of gaming disorders to promote responsible gaming.
Sticking up for Parents in the Performing Arts
Academics from the Department of Organizational Psychology developed a survey of workers and work-life balance in the performing arts in partnership with Parents and Carers in Performing Arts (PiPA).
Over 2500 UK workers from the performing arts, including 1000 parents and carers, took the survey. It found that 43% of performing artists who left their careers did so because they became parents. Carers pay a significant penalty in terms of well-being and remuneration in order to maintain a career in the performing arts and are far more likely to leave the industry than non-carers, leading to a drain in talent and reduced diversity in the arts. Professor Almuth McDowall, Head of Department, added her voice to the call for change alongside leading figures in the sector such as actor Cate Blanchett and singer Paloma Faith.
Understanding Text Data
Researchers from the Department of Computer Science and Information Systems developed a tool to simplify the process of understanding and using data from text. Called Samtla API, the new service can automatically annotate words and phrases from digital text documents with named entities and sentiments using machine learning and text mining technologies.
Spearheaded by Dr Mark Levene, Dr Martyn Harris, and Dr Andrius Mudinus, the initiative grew in response to the growing need for easily understandable annotations on the large volumes of text data, generated by media, businesses and individuals all over the world.
A Prizewinning Contribution
In August, Dr Alexey Pokrovskiy from the Department of Economics, Mathematics and Statistics was awarded the European Prize in Combinatorics. The prestigious award is made once every two years, recognising excellent contributions in Combinatorics, Discrete Mathematics and their Applications by young European researchers aged 35 or under.
Strategic management experts from the Department of Management and the Cass Business School at City, University of London found that greater collaboration between the insurance industry and state policy makers could improve society’s ability to recover from disasters linked to climate change.
Using insurance is a step away from crisis towards risk management, strengthening socio-economic resilience under a changing climate. Birkbeck’s Dr Konstantinos Chalkias, the Cass Business School’s Professor Paula Jarzabkowski and their co-authors put forward seven recommendations to the Global Commission on Adaptation to maximise the benefits of insurance for climate adaptation.
Supporting Sustainable Return to Work following Mental Ill-health Absence
Dr Jo Yarker from the Department of Organizational Psychology and Professor Karina Nielsen from the University of Sheffield have been researching how to support employees who are returning to work following mental ill-health absence.
In the UK alone, stress, anxiety or depression accounts for 57% of all working days lost to ill-health in 2017-18. Yarker and Nielsen developed a toolkit for employees, colleagues, line managers and HR professionals to support individuals to return to and stay in work.

Managing the ‘always on’ culture – a myth buster and agenda for better practice
Professor Almuth McDowall (Department of Organizational Psychology) shares her research into worklife balance and calls on employers to take responsibility for their organisation’s culture.
There is much being written and said about the ‘always on culture’ and how we are increasingly glued to our digital devices – whether at work or at home. Some of my own research has also concerned itself with this topic. My colleague and friend Gail Kinman and I had the results from a practice survey published in 2018 as we wanted to know what organisations are doing about the changing world of work, and the use of information and computer technology.
Well, precious little is the answer. Over half of our respondents said that their organisations don’t have a relevant policy in place and don’t offer any guidance or training. Somewhat worryingly over 40% thought that it should be up to individuals to manage the issue, rather than their line managers or human resources.
Why would people choose to be ‘always on’ outside formal working hours?
Working unpaid during leisure time does not make logical sense! We gift the UK economy billions in unpaid overtime year on year, as research by the Trade Unions Congress has revealed. Our systematic review with colleagues Svenja Schlachter, Ilke Inceoglu and Mark Cropley pointed to a complex picture.
People have different motivations, influenced by issues such as what everyone else does (social norms), what the expectations in the job are, how committed people feel to their job, how they value ‘switching off’ and recovery and whether this is supported in their environment. One key issue which came out of this review is the ‘empowerment enslavement paradox’. Our digital devices are both an enabler, as they afford flexibility, but also ‘digital leash’ as it’s difficult to say ‘enough is enough’ and switch off. As we all know, screen-time can be very seductive.
Is there any evidence that being ‘always on’ is bad for our health?
A recent econometric analysis shows that ICT infrastructure has a positive impact on population health (the authors measured general health outcomes such as infant mortality etc.). Regarding the impact of social media use, there is evidence that high use is linked to poor sleep quality, anxiety depression and low self-esteem. Of course, such studies cannot tell us whether teenagers who are highly anxious to start off with are more likely to be prolific users.
There is far less robust evidence on the exact effects from the world of work – what happens to you if you are on your phone, tablet or laptop near 24/7? We lack good research to tell us what the exact effects are.
What we do know though is that we need recovery and respite, our systems are simply not programmed to be on continuous overdrive. We also know that leisure activities which are quite different from our work tasks are better for our recovery than doing more of the same. I take this to heart. For instance, I find that reading at night doesn’t help me switch off as academics read rather a lot at work, so I take ballet classes online (and am known to teach the odd one myself!), knit and crochet.
What can organisations do?
Employers have a duty of care and should ensure that people are not overworked and can switch off. Worklife balance research tells us that those who live ‘enriched’ lives have better mental and physical health, important for them, and important for their employer. We should actively support employees by ensuring that:
A worklife balance policy is in place as a point of reference; then check processes and structures against this policy
Employers review job design and ensure that digital tasks (checking and responding to emails, synchronising devices, remote calls and conferences) are actually captured in people’s workload and tasks – these often fall off the radar
There is consultation to ask employees what they need – mutually negotiated boundaries and solutions work much better. Think creatively about flexible solutions!
Everyone, including senior leaders and managers, role models good behaviours. People need time to switch off, so don’t expect your staff to be available outside normal working hours
Staff are offered training and development. Managing in an increasingly digital workspace requires up-to-date management and leadership skills
Employees look out for implicit expectations and ‘rumours’. “I check my emails on holiday because this is what is expected of me”. Really? Question such assumptions as they can often take on a life of their own
Finally, if in doubt, ask a psychologist. The Department of Organizational Psychology is keen to work with organisations to establish, consolidate and evaluate best practice.

The proposed ‘right to disconnect’ after work hours is welcome, but not enough
This post was contributed by Professor Gillian Symon, member of the Digital Brain Switch project. Involving a multi-disciplinary team of UK researchers (including Birkbeck’s Dr Rebecca Whiting), the project explored the ways in which mobile communication technology affects how we switch between different aspects of our lives. This article was originally posted on The Conversation on 23 March 2016.
Changes proposed to France’s famously inflexible employment laws by French president François Hollande have prompted an outcry among students and unionists and even the barricading of schools by pupils. But among the raft of changes to working practices is the liberating notion that employees should have the right to disconnect: to ignore emails from employers during evenings and weekends so that time with friends and family is not affected by work distractions or feelings of guilt.
Limited interventions of this sort have been put forward in Germany and France before, but this is the first proposal that the right be enshrined in law.
There is much to like about it. First, it recognises the massive impact the widespread use of smartphones and tablets, Wi-Fi and high-speed mobile internet has had on our working lives. In as much as work emails, diaries and contacts are on a smartphone in our pocket, to some extent we are never truly “out of the office”. The proposal seeks to counter this in legislation, not to leave it to corporate custom and practice.
Second, the proposed legislation acknowledges the considerable research that suggests that we need to psychologically detach from work regularly, or risk becoming exhausted and losing our creativity.
Third and most importantly, it makes the employer at least partly responsible for managing this intrusive technology and its effects on employees. There is a recognised paradox, whereby technology allows flexibility over when and where we work, but at the same time acts as a leash that chains us to our (virtual) desks. For too long this has been seen as something employees themselves should manage.
The research into work-life balance my colleagues and I have conducted suggests that achieving the right balance has become another “life crisis”. It is one that is fed by endless media articles and self-help books, and one that is almost certainly unresolvable by the individual as so much of the pressure comes from bosses and colleagues at work. What we’ve found is that there needs to be respect for individuals’ chosen work-life boundaries at all levels within organisations.
So congratulations to the French for taking this particular taureau by the cornes. But is their proposed approach through new legislation the right answer?
It’s not easy, and often employers don’t make it any easier. wongstock/shutterstock.com
As far as it goes
There are three ways digital media and mobile technology have affected our lives that isn’t acknowledged by legislation, which is concerned only with time spent connected to work. In our research we’ve sought to highlight the creeping effects of “digi-housekeeping”: those endless technology maintenance tasks that we engage in – updating software, syncing devices, fighting technical problems – which often takes place outside of office hours and doesn’t appear on time sheets. None of this is accounted for by legislative approaches.
Nor does legislation address the way in which the use of social media for work may intrude into our privacy. When we blog and tweet for our employers, are we exploiting our personal identities for their ends? Are these additional tasks, and the need to maintain our digital presence online, causing us anxiety and increasing our workload without any formal recognition of the effort involved? These sorts of activities go beyond a concern with just maintaining a time boundary between work and life. They represent new tasks required to maintain our digital work lives.
What’s more, because the French legislation presumes an employee-employer relationship, it entirely ignores the anxieties of the self-employed, as those taking part in our research told us. While those working for themselves have always had to work hard, social media has put added pressure on them to be constantly online and accessible to maintain their business. We need more imaginative interventions that will address the needs of specific groups such as these.
What are 21st century working lives like?
The French legislation is important primarily because it makes clear the responsibilities of employers and organisations. However, it’s also rather a blunt-edged tool that doesn’t appreciate the intricacies of our online lives. Legislation like this enforces a strict work-life boundary that may be a thing of the past.
Read the original post on The Conversation
Our research collaborators kept video diaries that captured the complex circumstances of today’s workers in a more revealing way than traditional surveys can do. These video diaries suggest we might be making sense of our lives in radically different ways in the 21st century. We distinguish between online and offline lives rather than work and non-work hours, and we think more about how we prioritise time, rather than how we divide it.
To support flexible working, we may need flexible legislation that is based on other considerations than time alone, including where and how we work best. It’s very unlikely there will be a one-size-fits-all solution; researchers and policymakers are going to have to find more creative 21st century solutions for this very 21st century problem.
So the French government’s move to formally recognise the distraction caused by unfettered technology is welcome, but limited. To improve upon it, we need to understand much more fully the complexities of contemporary digital online lives, what boundaries people now find important, and how the law can best support them.

CEO rewards – More does not equal better
This post has been contributed by Dr Almuth McDowall, lecturer in Birkbeck’s Department of Organisational Psychology, with input from Paul Hajduk from PayData, Jonny Gifford from the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD), Dr Zara Whysall from Lane4 and Dr Duncan Jackson from Birkbeck. It builds on a recent practitioner report Almuth and colleagues produced for the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (The power and pitfalls of executive reward: a behavioural perspective)
The size of the packet
Chief executive officer (CEO) pay is a serious topic which requires serious and well-informed debate. In one way or another the size and makeup of CEO rewards affects everybody – either because it can be seen as part of the trend for wealth to be increasing concentrated in the hands of the few, or because the measures that drive the package do not necessarily serve the best interests of society as a whole.
The average UK CEO wage packet is now around the £5million per annum – imagine 100,000 £50 bank notes lined up neatly in a row to get an idea of what this means in reality. We witnessed ‘fat cat Tuesday’ in the first week of January; when CEOs had earned the average UK workers’ salary in just 22 hours.
Are CEOs worth the money?
The notion of the ‘fat cat’ and unfair pay gaps has been vehemently disputed as ‘pub economics’ by the Adam Smith Institute’s director Sam Bowman. The argument runs that organisations need to be profitable to survive so they can make a contribution to a nation’s economy; and that the value of a CEO is hard to quantify in an absolute sense.
Clearly, organisations need to be effective to survive. It is also arguable that the figurehead at the top contributes the most to the long-term success of the organisation. The symbolic value of the person at the top is great, and can make or break corporate success hence CEOs should be rewarded proportionally to their input. But does proportion equate to 180 times the average workers’ salary?
How can we explain the growth in CEO rewards?
In our report, Paul Hajduk of Paydata undertook a robust analysis of pay trends over the last few years. He set out to test whether the rise in CEO pay could be explained in the context of UK wealth creation. Yes, there is a widening gap between rich and poor, however the number of people in the 1 million plus earnings bracket has remained relatively stable. CEO rewards continue to grow, quite out of proportion to the rate of growth of high pay generally and also to the rather unsteady growth of the UK economy. So the growth in CEO rewards cannot be accounted for by wealth increase per se, can it be justified in terms of increased organisational performance? Apparently not. An interesting paper reveals that organisations with particularly highly paid CEOs are unlikely to be in the top 10 percent of high performing organisations [WSJ, 2015].
Paul says: “There would appear to be little to support the argument that high CEO pay growth is justified by how their role is often positioned, which is as wealth generating entrepreneurs. Yes, they may lose their job if things do not go well but they rarely lose much of their own money. We have yet so see if clawbacks built into reward arrangements will be truly effective in creating significant downside risk in CEO reward packages”.
This leads to the wider question of how organisational performance is benchmarked.
What is the link between CEO rewards and organisational performance?
Most organisations benchmark CEO success against hard measures such as profitability and productivity, the bulk of research in the field also concerns itself with financial indicators. Far fewer organisations use non-financial metrics such as staff health, safety or engagement measures in their annual reporting. However, it is important to consider the human aspects of performance and their link to organisational outcomes. One US study considered the characteristic of the CEOs of US basketball teams and the link to measures as wide ranging as external team reputation, winnings and fan attendance at matches (Resick, Whitman, Weingarden and Hiller, 2009). There is a shortage of parallel evidence in a business context which considers the relationship between differentiated measures of CEO performance, and the scope of their impact on organisations such as their members, including intangible assets such as motivation and engagement.
Are our reward structures creating the wrong kind of CEOs, or are our CEOs creating the wrong kinds of rewards?
Dr Zara Whysall from Lane4 says: “Our work with a range of organisations has shown that reward practice in organisations lacks an evidence-base, CEO reward practice appears no different. People tend to overestimate the motivating force of money in particular where rewards are delayed and not immediate, and we also do not pay enough attention to non-financial rewards and the impact they have an on organisation’s culture and ethos.”
There have been several high profile instances of rather dysfunctional examples of CEO stewardship particularly in the financial sector. It is therefore important to try and understand the influence CEOs have. Research shows us that powerful CEOs are good at negotiating rewards and clever at shining the spotlight on favourable indicators [Morse et al., 2014].
There is a strong case for change in executive reward practice given that the justification for the maintaining the current status quo is at best dubious. However, the research detailed in our report shows that barriers are ingrained and institutionalised. Whilst there is body of people who support change and who state openly that the UK (and the world?) needs more considered, innovative and ethical CEOs in the future, there is less consensus on how such change can be brought about.
The vision for the future
Given the lack of evidence to support the ever escalating size of senior rewards, CEO salaries should be a smaller multiple of average earnings, with smaller bonus packages, and reduced long term incentives such as performance share schemes. But is it a more pressing question that in order for change to happen we need different people at the top?
There is the argument that any capping of rewards policy changes will negatively impact organisations’ ability to recruit and retain the quality of people needed to position themselves positively in the global market place. To counter this, it is informative to compare and contrast CEO reward in the most successful mission-led businesses. When profit distribution moves from being the primary motive the CEO reward package loses, in most cases, most of the upside variable pay elements and share-based pay disappears altogether. And yet these businesses attract and retain very able leaders who are maybe motivated by things other than the size of their reward package.
A fundamental shift in leadership practice might need to accompany these reward changes. There is ample evidence that shared leadership is better than top centric leadership [Wang et al., 2014]. It is also a fact that diversity at top levels does not mirror society at large. Only radical revision of selection, talent management and reward processes and structures will change the current status quo. Our report makes distinct recommendations for how to put this into practice.
But are our recommendations radical enough, or should we start again with a blank slate? Dr Almuth McDowall says: “This has been a fascinating and complex research project which we hope will offer a rich springboard for debate. There appears a cautious consensus that change is needed, yet a certain reluctance to challenge the current status quo. Do read our report, and let us know – are our recommendations radical enough?”

Remick and Ray Interview Sherry Decker
Posted by Jack Remick | Interviews and Q and A, Interviews and Readings, Science fiction, Sherry Decker, Short Story | 2 |
We interviewed Sherry Decker in September, 2014. She has just signed a contract for her novel Hypershot.
R&R: Congratulations on your Hypershot deal.
Decker: Thank you. I’m very happy about this. It happened the way I always assumed it would, by total surprise.
R&R: When did you start writing Hypershot?
Decker: In the late eighties, about three months before I met you at Louisa’s, (Tio’s Bakery back then wasn’t it)? I wanted to apply to your fiction writing class at the U.W. and that required sending you a minimum number of pages. I had just written the first thirty pages of Hypershot, so that’s what I submitted. Thinking back to that early manuscript, I’m amazed you accepted me into your class.
R&R: When did you finish?
Decker: The first time? It’s been rewritten and revised so many times that question is difficult to answer. I thought it was done when I sent it to Richard Curtis, my agent in New York. Especially after he read it and liked it, and decided to represent me. That was August 15, 2011.
R&R: We like to cluster questions. So here are a few: What genre is Hypershot? Is it science fiction? Urban fantasy? Dystopian?
Decker: I like what Ray Bradbury said about his Martian Chronicles: “I don’t write science fiction,” he said. “Science fiction is a depiction of the real. Fantasy is a depiction of the unreal. So Martian Chronicles is not science fiction, it’s fantasy. It couldn’t happen, you see?” Therefore, even though my book might be offered as science fiction by bookstores or online, it’s really a futuristic adventure about a dystopian, subterranean city and a woman who is (of course) its reluctant savior, especially when you consider the green-skinned mushroom growers and the blind, aggressive, albino fish.
R&R: Can you give us a quick synopsis of Hypershot?
Decker: Krea-D is thirty years old and clawing her way through the patriarchal military ranks of Undercity in 2210 CE, three miles beneath Mt. Mesquite in the New Mexico desert. Krea craves the solitude and security a high rank can deliver in such a harsh, post-apocalyptic world.
Entering a combat-weapons contest using the Hypercon, Undercity’s experimental, high-tech weapon, Krea wins but ends up sharing the title, Hypershot with her long-time nemesis, Makk-A.
Makk, with the connivance of Undercity’s highest-ranking officer, Jacquard Crop, takes possession of the sought-after trophy, leaving Krea with only the promise of the actual weapon ‘once it’s perfected.’ Beneath her apparent calm, Krea revolts against the chicanery but her actions uncover secrets hidden by Undercity’s most powerful Elite, someone who left her as a newborn in Undercity’s orphanage.
Krea’s astonishing achievements have attracted the attention of Jacquard Crop. Crop is on the hunt for a new wife, because to become Premier he must father a healthy heir in a world with a high enfant mortality rate. Crop forces Krea into marriage. Soon pregnant, Krea sees her goals unraveling. She regrets entering the contest and losing her independence.
Crop’s power-hungry sister, Lona Tors uses her brother’s high rank to control people, but her efforts to control Krea backfire. When Lona discovers Krea has stolen her boy-toy artist lover, she has Krea sent to hunt down Jero-K, a notorious rebel AWOL from the military and Krea’s best friend. Krea and Jero make a run for the surface. Their very survival depends on Krea’s warrior talents in a final, no-rules battle for freedom.
R&R: When is it due out?
Decker: I thought it would be out by the end of the year, or very early next year. Now I suspect it will be mid-2015.
R&R: Who is the publisher?
Decker: Eldritch Press. The editor/publisher, Michael Randolph seems very pleasant to work with. He always gets right back to me with answers to my questions and says he wants to involve me in the publishing process.
R&R: What formats? hard cover? soft cover? e-book? other?
Decker: Michael Randolph said, “…paperback, e-book, audiobook and possibly hardcover. I want most of our novels to be available in hardcover. I am setting up auditions with different audiobook recorders to start (that) process.” I am also pleased that Michael Randolph wants my input on the cover art. That’s rare, from what I’ve always heard about the publishing and marketing process. Authors seldom have a say in cover art.
R&R: You sold the book yourself, but you went through a long agent search. Tell us about that. How did it work? How long? Do you think having an agent is necessary in this time of independent presses and self-publication?
Decker: It wasn’t such a long search, since I struck gold with the fifth agent I contacted. I thought signing with an agent like Richard Curtis guaranteed landing a major publisher. He sent the manuscript out and the waiting was both exciting and dreadful. One by one, they replied and Richard forwarded their comments. They were all complimentary but, ultimately they rejected it. Three of them said, “Send us her next book!” That was encouraging, and Richard wanted me to jump straight into a sequel for Hypershot, and I did write 22,000 words on a prequel, but I reached a point where I was so weary of Undercity, its cruel government, all the societal hierarchy and the desperate characters, I didn’t care enough to keep writing about them. I set it aside and started working on something that had been on my mind for years – a horror story that takes place on an Olympic Peninsula farm. I submitted it as a short story to five or six publishers at that time, and one of them was kind enough to explain that she felt there was far too much story there for short fiction. It took me about fourteen months to write it as a novel, and then I sent it to Richard Curtis, who during our initial emails had asked what else I had to work on after Hypershot – and I had mentioned the horror story and he asked to read it, so Richard had already read this tale as a short story. Afterward, he advised me to write the sequel to Hypershot instead. When he received this horror novel instead of the sequel, he said he didn’t care for it and didn’t want to represent it. Naturally, I was disappointed. And yes, a bit angry. Other people might be able to write to spec, but I must write what is pestering my thoughts in the middle of the night, with characters who whisper things that make me think . . . what?! That horror novel is languishing in a drawer. I’ll get back to it. Now I’ve started work on a futuristic, off-world story. It’s different from and yet similar to Hypershot. After a year of non-communication with Richard Curtis, I doubted that he wanted to represent me anymore. It didn’t feel like he did, so I asked him outright. He seemed surprised. “Certainly,” he said. “I want to represent you. I loved Hypershot and was disappointed when I failed to find a publisher for it.” So, we’ve agreed to keep trying. I’m not a fast writer, so I told him it would be at least a year, maybe more before I sent him the next novel. He said, “Okay.” I don’t think everyone needs an agent, but I like having Richard Curtis’s name at the top of my credits. Not sure what that says about me, but I’ll admit to it. I decided to submit Hypershot around myself, and soon spotted Eldritch Press. I submitted Hypershot and ended up with a contract. To answer your question about how long this process took: from the initial dream, the writing (many scenes were written at Louisa’s or in one of your classes) the revising, the marketing, the start-overs, the years of doing things other than working on the manuscript or marketing it, more revisions, to the acceptance . . . twenty-plus years. I guess that means I’m persistent. Admittedly, it’s an odd story, so I understand why some publishers felt it didn’t fit any specific genre.
R&R: Here is another clump. Feel free to answer the ones you want. What made you write Hypershot? What is the world like in Hypershot? You’re a student of science fiction and horror. What writers helped you do the work? Who do you owe? Do you work with a group or alone?
Decker: Hypershot came from a dream. Under most circumstances I would consider the dream a nightmare, but since I was a spectator in this dream, it was intriguing. It plagued me. More dreams followed, about a month apart, with the same character in the same subterranean world. When I wasn’t dreaming about it, I was writing bits of dialogue that came to me in the middle of the night, or the middle of the day while I was supposed to be doing something else. Writers who influenced me were Edgar Allen Poe, Bram Stoker, Hemingway, Ray Bradbury, Stephen King, Joyce Carol Oates and Margaret Atwood, in about that order. The world in Hypershot is dark, depressing, deadly, and dystopian. Lots of D words there. I belong to a three-member writers group along with Kerri Hakoda and Becky Warden-White. We meet about every three months. They read everything I write before I submit it. I owe them a great deal. I owe Jack Remick too much to measure. Without Jack, Hypershot would never have been finished. It would have been choked with adverbs and other grievous mistakes. Without Jack I doubt my short story, Hicklebickle Rock would have been accepted by Alfred Hitchcock’s Mystery Magazine, or my novelette, Hook House accepted by Cemetery Dance Magazine. I work alone, but I’m always thinking about my next writers group meeting with Becky and Kerri. I love the way we work together. We do timed writings, read-aloud-critiquing of our scenes, and we do a ton of brainstorming. I love those two women. We met in Jack and Bob’s class in the nineties. We’ve been together as a group for – I’ve lost count – maybe twenty years.
R&R: You published a magazine—Indigenous Fiction—for years. It seems that there are now hundreds of niches in speculative fiction. Can you pinpoint some of the differences—say between Science Fiction and Horror. Where do you put writing about zombies and vampires in your hierarchy?
Decker: Indigenous Fiction – born in September 1997 and closed down in June 2001. Good memories. This project interrupted Hypershot for five straight years, but I don’t regret it. The differences between science fiction and horror are unimportant to me, other than to label something for a bookstore shelf. Alien remains one of my favorite science fiction movies. Yet it must also appear in the horror category. Alien scared me. I watched a good portion of that flick through my fingers while holding my breath. 2001 A Space Odyssey has terrifying moments. The Silence of the Lambs. Wow. Zombies or vampires – I’ve read one zombie novel, ever. It’s not my favorite genre, but I have nothing against it either. Bram Stoker’s, Dracula is a great book. I read it in junior high school and loved it. Same with Frankenstein. The stories made me pause and think. They made me want to write. I’ve written one zombie story, titled, Apocalypse Station, published by James B. Baker in 1998. My one and only vampire tale is, The Clan. It appeared in Alfred Hitchcock’s Mystery Magazine. It was illustrated on the cover for their Halloween issue, 1999. Very proud of that. I’m not a literary snob.
R&R: When you were writing Hypershot, what techniques helped you the most?
Decker: I had my favorite techniques: rewriting a scene and ‘getting closer.’ Writing it again and getting even closer. Again. Closer. Again. That was how I wrote the infamous scene with the cooking barrel. The cooking barrel scene was illuminating. It explained something important about my protagonist’s background and also her motives. Another favorite technique: Chaining. [Note from Jack and Bob: Chaining is a rhetorical device often used in conjunction with anaphora and epistrophe. We’re very happy that Sherry uses these devices.]For me, chaining feels like chanting or marching, like connecting metal links, all the while approaching something unseen, something unexpected up ahead, something eye-opening. There are many other helpful techniques, like the very act of timed writings. Together, the techniques kept me writing.
R&R: What’s the target audience for Hypershot?
Decker: Anyone who enjoyed The Time Machine, The Thing, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, Journey To the Center of the Earth, The Handmaid’s Tale, Alien (the movie, not the book), Silence of the Lambs, In Cold Blood, The Shining, Salem’s Lot, The Stand. I’ve described Hypershot’s storyline as The Handmaid’s Tales meets Journey to the Center of the Earth.
R&R: Now that you’re a pro, tell our readers something about your writing process. Early morning? Late night? Longhand draft going to computer? Do you compose on the computer? How much do you write before you start to rewrite?
Decker: “Pro?” –funny. I always hope to get into my office early in the day, but sometimes life gets in the way and I don’t ever make it. That doesn’t mean I didn’t write. Sometimes I write on the kitchen grocery pad, or on a tablet in the car, sometimes on a legal pad in the downstairs office where this computer sits. (My writing computer, upstairs, is not connected to the internet.) My process is to plunk myself down, pick up a ballpoint pen and release the dragon, even if it’s from the middle of a conversation. There are always ideas trying to escape my psyche. The other day, a television commercial sparked an idea. My stories include a fair amount of dialogue. So much can be accomplished with dialogue. To me, the narrative is simply connecting one place or character to another so that there can be more dialogue. I love character-based stories. Characters talk. Sometimes they think, but that’s not as interesting as what flies out of their mouths. I type much faster than I write, but the deepest and best ideas come from handwriting. I don’t know why. Jack always said it was Zen. Okay. I believe our innate desires come from someplace we cannot tap into without allowing some daydreaming and for some reason, writing with a pen taps that vein. Sometimes I’m lucky and it comes from my keyboard. I love it when I’m typing super fast and something lands on the screen that astonishes me. This happens during revisions, and usually leads to another key scene. I revise or rewrite as soon as I go back and read what I’ve written, and then again weeks or even months later. There is no such thing as leaving it as-is. Every time I read my work, I change something. A word, a phrase. Something. That’s just me. Picky. My husband describes it as,chink-chink-chink, like some obsessive-compulsive artist chipping away at a marble statue from day-into-night. I’m both flattered and annoyed by that description.
R&R: Another clumpy set of questions. How do you create your main characters? Body-type first? Job/Profession first? Do you make-up character profiles? How much backstory do you devote to each main character? How soon do you give them dialogue lines? When do you drop them into a scene?
Decker: My protagonist is usually, at least partly, me. Bumbling, naïve, but lucky. Of course she does things I’d never really do. That’s what’s great about fiction. I can live the life of anyone I choose, heroine or killer. Mother, daughter, crone. I love the idea that as writers, we stand back and lob tribulations on our protagonists, like rocks pelting their heads. It’s how we force them to take the direction we want. Sooner or later I’m in the head of every character I write, and they’re in mine. I start with a situation. A bad situation for my protagonist usually gets me started. Even though she resists for good reason, she is prodded and forced to do something she doesn’t want to do. Sometimes she ignores the prodding and does what she wants but that gets her into more trouble. Luck (or the helper) gives her another chance. Her innate physical or mental strength helps her arrive at a place where she can regroup and try again. I don’t do character profiles for short fiction. I did have them for Hypershot. For my current work-in-progress, I haven’t gotten around to character profiles yet, but will. For the first third of the book, I’m just flying by the seat of my pants to discover where I crash. Right now I’m having fun discovering things. I often start scenes with dialogue and edit later for variety. Dialogue reveals so much about a character. Sometimes it’s one character listening in on a conversation. To what he/she eavesdrops on, reveals something about him/her. Where a character first appears depends on the natural flow of a story. If they’re a hard-nosed bully, they might arrive in a gentle manner, opposite of their nature. A gentle character might arrive while involved in a brawl. It depends on how I feel when the discovery scene begins.
R&R: Do you use the same process for writing novels and short stories?
Decker: No. There is a sense of urgency when writing short fiction, a sense of timing that I don’t feel with a novel. Some novel scenes have urgency, but the novel itself allows time for development. Novels allow the time for sub-plots, secondary characters and side adventures that lead the reader into (for lack of a better term) red herring territory. Not everything must lead to a conclusion. Sometimes, these side adventures are meant to confuse and disappoint the protagonist and I like that. Short fiction was a good way to learn how to write. It proved to me that I could start, develop and finish something. And sell it! Short stories dictate their own length. I suppose novels do also, but that feels more acute with short fiction. Right now I am enjoying the freedom from that sense of urgency while writing novels.
R&R: Back to Indigenous Fiction–What kind of stories did you publish? How many pages in an average issue? Was it print? E-Book? Both? Why did you start the magazine? How much help did you have? How much editing did you do? What criteria did you use to sort submissions? How did being an editor make you feel? Who was your target audience? Why did you stop publishing I.F.?
Decker: I looked for weird fiction, something odd in the plot or the character. I had precise guidelines that stated what I wanted and what I didn’t want. Some people read those guidelines and some people, it seems, didn’t. Indigenous Fiction was a print magazine, and every issue contained at least one story that ended up reprinted in a Year’s Best anthology, or earned Honorable Mention in one of the Best Of Year collections. I.F. had about 150 reliable subscribers. The publication came out every four months and had, on average, between 75-85 pages. We always included some interior black and white art and poetry in addition to approximately eight stories. I did all the editing. One friend-volunteer, Evelyn, read things when I wanted a second opinion. Another volunteer, David Otteni, did all the work putting I.F. on a disk for the printer. All correspondence, I handled myself, and that took seven days a week and at least eight hours a day. I didn’t sort the submissions. I logged everything in by hand into a ledger by the date received. I never allowed more than a week to pass without reading all the submissions. I usually knew within the first page or two, if I’d accept something. Being an editor and publisher made me feel responsible and obligated. As an editor you have promised something to your readers and contributors, even to those people who are neither, but who have submitted material for your magazine. You owe them your time. You owe them a reply. You owe them respect. My target audience was people who liked a touch of the bizarre. Indigenous Fiction ~ wondrously weird and offbeat was our full title.
R&R: How are you promoting Hypershot? Public appearances? Blog tours?
Decker: Promoting Hypershot is going to be a learning experience for me. I am willing to make public appearances. I’ll do readings, signings, classroom visits, whatever. I mention as much as I can on Facebook, but there is a limit to how much one can post there. Some people become obnoxious with their non-stop book promotions on Facebook. I’ll talk to my publisher and do what he recommends. I’m even willing to travel. I will eventually come up with a blog. Blogs seem to be necessary these days.
R&R: What are you writing now? Is there a sequel to Hypershot?
Decker: If I ever write about Undercity again, it would be to tell the story of Wren, the mother of Krea (Hypershot’s protagonist). Wren’s story is even more in the fantasy realm than Hypershot. More of Wren’s story takes place on the surface. There is a supernatural element to Wren’s story. There is time travel. If there is ever a sequel to Hypershot, I might kill everyone off because I. Am. Sick. Of. Undercity. I’ve already mentioned my work-in-progress. The working title is, Salvage. My protagonist, Layla works for a salvage company that, on occasion, sends salvage crews into dangerous and illegal territory, such as to a man-made penal colony satellite.
R&R: You have several other books in print. Can you tell us about them and where to find them?
Decker: My short fiction collection, Hook House and Other Horrors was originally published by Silver Lake Publishing, but within five months that publisher stopped answering emails, phone calls or sending checks. In 2011 she sent a brief apology, a full written release and a check. Relieved, I submitted the collection to Damnation Books and it found a new home. It is currently being recorded for an audio edition in addition to the trade- back and e-book. I’m having a blast listening, as every story is recorded by professional recording artist, Becky Parker Geist. She gives every character a unique and recognizable voice and has contacted me several times to double-check on correct pronunciation.
Rusty the Robot’s Holiday Adventures was first published by Sam’s Dot Publishing. I could expound volumes about that disappointing experience, but let’s not go there. After it was finally released, my co-author Michael McCarty began a search for a new publisher. He discovered a publisher he was excited about, and long story short, it’s now available through Pie Plate Publishing, both in print and as an e-book. I love the cover art.
A final thought: More than once I’ve relived the night of Jack’s first class at the U.W. Another student drove and I remember heading west over the 520-bridge toward a blood-red sunset. Clouds like shredded rags. A sense of the calm before the storm. I was excited beyond description because something told me my life was going to change. Finally, someone who knew the ins and outs of excellent writing was going to teach me. My brain was a dry sponge and my heart was open. I don’t think the woman with whom I traveled that night, understood my enthusiasm. Somehow, she thought it had to do with the U.W. campus. It wasn’t that. It was the teacher, the opportunity, the moment. Thank you, Jack.
R&R: Thank you, Sherry. We love the way you work and we’re very happy that you and Eldritch connected. We think it’s a fine book and a great find for Eldritch.
You can find Sherry’s work on Amazon. When Eldritch Press releases Hypershot, we’ll pass along the info.

One helluva fine interview. Full of humility, bravado, persistence, and encouragement. I don’t think I’ve had the pleasure of meeting Sherry Decker at Louisa’s (excuse me if I’ve forgotten), but I feel I’ve met her now.
If she wanted to do a little follow-up, I’d love to hear her thoughts on the advantages and/or limitations of genre, both in writing and in publishing. (This is something I struggle with.) Did you choose your genre, or did your genre choose you?
Needless to say, I’m impressed!
Thank you Jack, and thank you Sherry.
Jack Remick on September 26, 2014 at 10:07 pm
Max: I sent your note to Sherry. Maybe she has some ideas for an addendum to the interview.

Eurail Select Pass validation at Paris Charles deGaulle Airport for train trip to Munich
I'm planning to travel to Munich from the Paris Airport, a few hours after I land. Would I be able to validate my Eurail Pass (bought from Rail Europe) at the counters at CDG? Or should I just look at going to Paris Nord station to travel onwards and validate there? I have the Eurail Four Countries Select Pass.Could someone please help me on this? I'd book my reservations accordingly
Eileen Kerrigan January 23, 2018 11:35
You should be able to validate your pass at the airport train station -- no need to go all the way into Paris :-)
Jeff (Official Rep) January 23, 2018 17:59
Hi Budhaditya,
Most connections from the Paris CDG Airport to Munich do involve going into the city of Paris first. These connections take about 6.5 hours in duration and involve changing in 2 cities along the way; Paris and then Stuttgart.
To commute from CDG into the city of Paris, you would take a local RER train on Line B to the Paris Nord station. The trains to Stuttgart depart from the Paris Est station, which is only about a 10 minute walk from the Nord station. Otherwise, you could take M5 of the Paris Métro to get between these stations, and the ride only takes about 2 minutes. For the RER and Métro, you would just pay locally before boarding.
Any Eurail Select Pass that includes France and Germany will be valid to cover you for the remaining part of the connection from the Paris Est station to Munich; however, reservations are required on trains from Paris to Stuttgart and highly recommended on trains from Stuttgart to Munich.
You would purchase reservations by searching a route on our homepage (www.raileurope.com), checking the box that says ‘I have a rail pass’, and then indicating the type of rail pass with which you'll be traveling (i.e. a 'Eurail Select Pass 4 Countries'). For this connection, you would just break up your search once in Stuttgart. Therefore, you would do one search for trains from Paris to Stuttgart and then another search for connecting trains from Stuttgart to Munich.
Trains from Paris to Stuttgart are France-Germany High Speed (TGV Est) trains. Generally, these trains can only be reserved once within 90 days of an intended date of departure.
Trains from Stuttgart to Munich are ICE (InterCity Express) high-speed trains.
Generally, these trains can be reserved up to 180 days in advance of a departure.
You can validate your rail pass at either the station at Paris CDG, the Paris Nord station, or the Paris Est station.

Thanks a ton, Jeff. I'll reserve my seat now
You're welcome. Have a great trip!

Prevalence of dementia and depression among elderly people in black and ethnic minorities
McCracken, C. F. M.; Boneham, M. A.; Copeland, J. R. M.; Williams, K. E.; Wilson, K.; Scott, A.; McKibbin, P.; Cleave, N.; McCracken, C F; Copeland, J R
British Journal of Psychiatry;Sep97, Vol. 171, p269
Background: This study was designed to identify all elderly people of ethnic minorities living in a defined geographical area in inner-city Liverpool and to identify psychiatric morbidity and barriers to use of services. This paper reports the prevalence of dementia and depression.Method: A survey of the community was carried out using the Geriatric Mental State Examination, AGECAT and ethnically matched interviewers. The sampling frame consisted of Family Health Services Authority lists as a basis, with additional information from community lists, 'snow-balling' and a door-to-door survey.Results: 418 people were interviewed, with a high percentage (55%) of young elderly (65-74) men. The prevalence of dementia ranged from 2 to 9% and of depression from 5 to 19%, and there were no significant differences in levels between English-speaking ethnic groups and the indigenous population. Higher levels of dementia were found among non-English-speaking groups.Conclusions: A complete enumeration of the elderly in ethnic minority groups is best achieved by using several different methods. Diagnosis of dementia may be misleading among those who do not speak the dominant language.

By rmrd0000 on Fri, 12/13/2019 - 9:22pm |
At the height of the Watergate scandal, Richard Nixon was running low on friends. When the U.S. House voted to begin impeachment hearings, for example, the vote was 410 to 4. One of the four was an Indiana Republican named Earl Landgrebe.
Months later, as the disgraced president prepared to leave the White House, Landgrebe delivered a line that helped define his political career. “Don’t confuse me with the facts,” the congressman saidthe day before Nixon’s resignation. “I’ve got a closed mind. I will not vote for impeachment. I’m going to stick with my president even if he and I have to be taken out of this building and shot.”
Republicans today
In recent weeks, for example, Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) has, more than once, echoed Kremlin propaganda and suggested Ukraine may have interfered in the 2016 U.S. elections. When a controversy ensued over his willingness to peddle false disinformation designed to advance Russian interests, the Louisiana Republican declared, “I believe what I believe.”
Kennedy didn’t literally say, “Don’t confuse me with the facts,” but it seemed like the subtext.
It’s against this backdrop that Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz was on Capitol Hill yesterday, participating in a Senate hearing exploring his report on the investigation into the Russia scandal. Reading Dana Milbank’s report on the hearing, it seems several Republicans didn’t want to be confused with the facts, either.
“They were on a mission not to protect Trump but to … protect all of us smelly people from Donald Trump,” [Sen. Lindsey Graham] alleged. “That’s what this is about.” Never mind that the inspectors found no such evidence in more than 1 million documents and more than 100 interviews over 19 months. “Whether you believe it or not, I believe it!” Graham announced.
[Sen. Ted Cruz], too, wasn’t about to let the findings get in his way. “You did not find evidence of political bias. That is a judgment that you have and I disagree with that,” Cruz told the inspector general.
Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) topped them all, arguing that the failure to find political bias proved there was political bias. “Is not the lack of evidence that you’re talking about itself evidence of bias?” he asked Horowitz.

HAVANA - Haiti’s President Jovenel Moise, who began ruling by decree this week, wants to use his new power to overhaul the constitution in an attempt to break a “decades-long cycle of political crises,” a planned presidential statement seen by Reuters shows.
“We will work with all political actors and our international partners to draft constitutional reforms to ensure a widely acceptable, workable, democratic balance of power which will then be put to the Haitian people in a referendum,” reads the statement, due to be released early on Friday according to a source close to Moise.

Puerto Rico Gov. Wanda Vázquez fired the director of the island’s emergency management agency shortly after chaos broke out in a southern city when residents discovered a warehouse filled with unused aid. The aid that included water, cots, baby formula, and diapers, among others, is thought to be from when Hurricane Maria struck the island in 2017.

DANVILLE, Va. — Ten minutes into a small community meeting between black farmers from Southern Virginia and regional campaign staff for Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, an aide took the floor.
He was the only white person to speak in a room of older black voters seated in an old beauty salon. He stood, delivering an off-the-cuff pitch for Ms. Warren’s plan to help rural black America: proposals for new access to funding for black farmers, and to address discrimination in the United States Department of Agriculture. She understood the challenges black farmers faced, he said.

"I've only been bald in the privacy of my home and in the company of close friends," Rep. Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts says at the beginning of an emotional video in which she revealed she is living with alopecia.
"I do believe going public will help," she says in the video published by The Root. "I'm ready now, because I want to be freed from the secret and the shame that secret carries with it. Because I'm not here just to occupy space — I'm here to create it."
Pressley starts the video wearing a wig and later appears squarely addressing the camera with her bald head revealed.

On Hunter Biden Testifying Before The Senate
Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) said Sunday that he’d be OK with Republicans calling on Hunter Biden to testify during the upcoming impeachment trial in the Senate.
“We take the position that we want to hear from witnesses,” Brown said during an interview with CNN’s “State Of The Union,” adding that he’d be “fine” with hearing from former Vice President Joe Biden’s son.
Maxine Waters expressed similar sentiments on MSNBC this morning. Democrats are calling the Republicans.

As a small boy in Denison, Texas, I remember vividly the anguish of being called on in grade school, knowing that I was going to have a hard time getting the words out; that my words could not keep up with my mind, and they would often come out jumbled. My neck and face would quickly begin to flush a bright red, the searing heat rising all the way to the top of my head; every eye in the room on me; the intense and painful humiliation, and bullying that would follow, all because of my inability to get the words out.

National Archive Blurs Anti-Trump Speech Is It Really An Archive?
submitted by rmrd0000 1 day ago
There’s a large 49-by-69-inch photograph in the National Archives Museum in Washington D.C. which celebrates the centennial of women’s suffrage by depicting the massive crowd that filled Pennsylvania Avenue NW for the Women’s March on Jan. 21, 2017, the day after President Donald Trump’s inauguration. Viewed from another angle, it shifts to show a 1913 black-and-white image of a women’s suffrage march also on Pennsylvania Avenue linking momentous demonstrations for women’s rights which took place more than a century apart in the same location. The 2017 photo gives museum visitors an idea of how many Americans felt about the Pussy-grabber-in-Chief being elected to the highest office in the nation.
Only, not quite.

Samsung NV9 Digital Camera Review
By on October 13, 2013 in Digital Camera News
Samsung swing both ways with a sleek, stylish, futuristic body and cool vintage, retro dials.
Skip to Verdict
Samsung NV9: Specification
Zoom: 5x optical
Resolution: 10.2Mp
Sensor size: 1/2.33in
Sensor type: CCD
Image size: 3648×2736
Sensitivity: (lowest to highest)
Storage: JPEG
Focus types: Multi AF, centre AF, face detection AF
Normal focusing: 80cm-infinity
Close focusing: 5cm-80cm (macro), 3cm (super macro)
Metering types: Multi, spot, centre-weighted, face detection AE
Exposure compensation: /- 2EV in 1/3 step increments
Shutter speed: 1-1/1500sec
Flash: Built-in
Monitor: 2.7in TFT LCD
Interface: USB2.0
Power: Li-Ion battery
Size: 95×59.9×21.3mm
Weight: 139.4g
£149 will give you a 5x optical zoom, 10Mp sensor and 3cm macro. It also has an innovative design. The Fujifilm FinePix Z200fd costs the same, has the same resolution and also shares an internal 5x zoom and 3cm macro. It’s styled the same but lacks the fancy dashboard.
Alternatively the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS20 costs £9 more, has a 4x external optical zoom, 10Mp and 5cm macro. It does have a Leica branded lens fitted to the front for superior optical quality.
The lens has a 5x optical zoom on the inside.
The retro dials sat on the top give the NV9 a distinctive look. The mini dashboard is flanked by the modern looking power button and comparably boring shutter release.
The command dial dominates a large portion of the top plate and hosts several modes including the new beauty mode.
The 2.7in LCD screen has a bright and easy to understand menu system. Icons glow when they’re selected for easier navigation.
Samsung NV9: Features
Initial thoughts of the camera were that it’s just another compact using Minolta’s design from about six years ago. With the lens sat in the top left corner and a 5x optical zoom, this design usually employs a periscope design with a mirror directly behind the lens and the sensor sat either on the bottom or the side of the camera and the zoom moves up and down or side to side. This design allows a larger zoom on a thin body.
My initial thoughts were soon washed away when I saw the retro battery and memory capacity dials on the top looking like a dashboard, these clocks will show you how much power and memory you have available. I was surprised to see the memory clock shoot straight round to full status when the camera is activated but this is a reference to the amount of space left and not the amount of space used. When an empty card is inserted, the clock will say it is full of space. when the card is full, it’s empty of space and will go to ‘E’.
It seems a backwards way of doing it but after a while you get used to it.
In contrast, the power button to the left of the dials has a trendy modern blue light ringed around it which glows softly while the camera is powered up. The shutter release button sits on the other side of the dials and a larger-than-it-really-should-be mode dial occupies the right side overhanging slightly for easier grip.
One of a few cameras designed as a multimedia package, the NV9 is doing what mobile phones have been doing for the last few years. You don’t just get a camera on this, you also get an .mp3 player, a .pmp player for playing videos, a text viewer and the other usual features found such as video & voice recorder, camera and Samsung also say it can be used as a portable disk.
This is in actual fact, a reference to the memory card. You can use store information onto the card or internal memory which means that every camera in the world can be used as a portable disk if they share these features.
These multimedia features are accessed using the command dial on the top plate and you can change the camera features here as well. As well as auto and scene modes, there’s also program and a new beauty shot mode. Program does the same as auto but frees up more options on the quick access menu when you press the function (fn) button.
The beauty shot is one of a few new systems found on the NV9. It’s designed to analyse an image and eradicate any imperfections on the skin.
It works to a degree using what looks like similar techniques in noise reduction and cloning. It doesn’t get rid of large spots or off colour marks as it thinks they’re moles or freckles which you may not necessarily want removing. The amount of retouching that the camera does can be amended by going into the menu system while in beauty mode and changing the retouching and face tone levels. It still has trouble with larger spots or discoloured blemishes but on the whole works OK.
A 2.7in LCD screen is just on the underside of large with more cameras coming out boasting 3in screens these days but the screen the NV9 comes with is bright enough. It occupies most of the rear with only a small portion being allocated to actually using the camera.
The zoom is an up and down rocker switch type and four buttons surround the D-pad. One of these buttons accesses effects which are in fact colour modes such as vivid and cool but also has nicer ones than are normally seen such as forest, retro, calm and classic. The normal setting can also have its parameters adjusted such as sharpness, contrast and saturation.
The fn button accesses the options on screen which will expand when in program mode. As well as being able to change the resolution and picture quality, you’ll also be able to adjust the metering, drive, ISO, white balance and exposure compensation.
The final two buttons at the bottom of the camera are for playing back images you’ve already taken and activating the image stabiliser.
The different film effects available on the NV9. Some are common, others not so.
What I like about the image stabiliser is that you can actually see it working on the screen. Not many manufacturers do this so it’s quite refreshing to have a steady frame on the screen which helps with peace of mind.
Pressing the centre button of the menu D-pad will enter the main menu which is laid out similar to how Kodak plan their menu systems but this seems to work better. I think it’s maybe the icons glowing slightly when they’re selected making it look flashy and futuristic.
An interesting feature in the menu is the recycle bin. It’s a delete folder that temporarily stores any images you’ve deleted. It then allows you to restore them if you delete by accident. This is another similarity with Kodak as deleted images can also be recalled on the Easyshare M1093IS.
If you explore the menu system, you’ll come across a mode called ACB which stands fro Auto Contrast Balance. It’s an unusual name but is essentially Samsung’s version of dynamic range compensation. This is where the dark areas of the image, such as shadows are burnt in to give extra light and increase the dynamic range.
Along with Casio, Samsung have released a model that features a “beauty” mode. It works by taking the photograph then smoothing skin and removeing blemishes and small spots. It doesn’t work on large spots and if your skin colour has a wide range of tone then some may not be touched in. It’s a process that can be performed in editing suites where you’ll have more control.
Without beauty mode I’m unhappy, mottled and have the same receding hairline as other mortals.
Switched on and it boosts dynamic range to fill in shadows, uses a basic patch tool to clone out blemishes and smooths the skin.
Samsung NV9: Build and handling
The exterior is made of that weird substance that feels like metal but could be plastic. When tapped, it sounds like plastic but the solid noise it makes when I put it down on a desk suggests something more sturdy. Either way it’s good build quality and the menu is also easy to get around. The buttons could be a bit more responsive as I have to keep my finger held down on them for an awkwardly long time.
Of course for those of you who aren’t in a rush then this shouldn’t be too much of a problem but even switching the mode dial around to different settings takes too long for me.
Moving around the camera and the battery door has a sliding lock to prevent it from opening by accident which is a good idea. The locking mechanism also has a large thumbpad to slide so it’s not difficult to open. The door is a little flimsy but not as bad as on other makes and the memory card is also housed in the same area.
I really like the screen on the NV9 I think it’s one of the better ones I’ve seen on a compact. It’s bright and clear with very little motion blur and doesn’t suffer from purple banding when a window or open door is in the frame.
Samsung NV9: Performance
Start up time and being ready to take a photograph is just under two seconds while finding focus takes around half that.
Continuous shooting mode has three options excluding the single shot mode. You can take your pictures sequentially in the standard mode or choose either motion capture or bracketing. The motion capture will take a massive 30 images in five seconds but this is in the lowest VGA mode which equates to around 300,000 pixels.
Continuous shooting manages eight shots in ten seconds which pleasantly surprised me as it’s not much slower than higher specification cameras.
Shutter lag is remarkably slow which backs up my theory that this isn’t a camera to be rushed. Results came back at around 0.2sec which is more than double the time taken for other compacts in this classification.
Primary blue really has impact while red and yellow pale in comparison.
In the colour chart image, blues are really punched out almost to a sickly amount. None of the other colours compete except maybe the orange tile just above primary blue. The skin tone tile looks too pale on the chart but I’ve been fooled with that in the past so we’ll wait to see the portrait shots.
The mono tones look quite well balanced but the earthy colours are more faded than I’m used to seeing.
When I took the landscape shot with the NV9, I managed to battle through the intense cold and see that the resulting shot looked pretty good on the rear screen. I’ve fallen in this trap before on cameras as recent as the Ricoh R10 where the screen gives a better result than the actual picture so I continued with caution.
However, those fears were soon alleviated when I saw the image on the screen and it’s not bad at all. Sure there’s a little fringing on the white bars but it’s not bad. The image could be sharper though so I’m not happy with that, especially at the edges of the frame.
There’s enough detail in the grassy area at the front and in the trees down the right of the frame to satisfy me and if I’d taken this photograph for personal use I’d be more than happy with the result.
Not a bad result in the landscape image from the NV9.
Two macro modes ensure you get the best close up.
The Samsung NV9 has two macro facilities. Normal macro focuses to a closest distance of 5cm while supermacro can squeeze an extra 2cm closer but at the loss of optical zoom. It’s not bad for a compact and the detail in the lily stamen is ample.
I’m unsure of the portrait images. When I took the shot without flash, it gave a cool tone which I expected to be balanced out if I used the flash but it couldn’t be further from the truth. Using the flash has dropped the exposure right down so it looks like night time. To be fair the skin tone is balanced but the overall image isn’t good at all.
The portrait image is distinctly cooler than I expected.
Using flash has given the opposite effect and darkened the image down.
Samsung NV9: Focus and metering
Samsung have limited the amount of overriding focus control on the NV9 and while you can adjust the parameters, it’s only between centre AF and multi focus point.
The menu system holds a few other focus aids such as face detection, blink and smile detection and self-portrait modes.
Face detection will detect up to ten individual human faces in a frame and adjust the focus and metering to expose that area perfectly. The nearest face will have a white box around it while others will have a grey box.
Self-portrait mode simply changes the focusing to macro to cope with the close proximity of the camera. Smile shot is designed to recognise when the subject is smiling although it didn’t work for me in any of the tests.
While focus modes are in the main menu, metering modes are found within the fn menu and the usual multi, spot and centre-weighted meteringoptions are available. If this is your first camera, you may not know what these options mean and for the most ofyour photography, putting it in multi mode will suffice. This mode analyses the area of the frame and makes the best exposure based on the results.
Centre-weighted metering takes a general reading from the whole image giving priority to the centre of the frame. This mode can’t cope with bright spots in the shot such as open doors, windows or lights. Spot metering is more precise and will only take a reading from around 2-3% of the centre of the frame. It ignores everything else and can produce some interesing results and is worth playing around with.
Samsung NV9: Noise test
It’s unfortunate to see a little noise coming through at ISO200 simply because the camera has performed pretty well through the majority of tests. There’s still plenty of detail at this stage and all I can see is slight blips on the grey card at full size.
Noise gently increases from this point with detail becoming more blurry. ISO800 sees the purple blobs appear faintly while ISO1600 shows most detail in the petals disappear and purple colour start to swamp the image.
The highest setting of ISO3200 has a discoloured flower, smooth petals anda much smaller image of 3Mp. This is a trick used on many compacts to combat noise generated by the heat of neighbouring pixels. The less pixels used, the further apart they are and the less they interfere with each other. The downside is you still get noise but with a lower resolution.
The ISO80 test.
The ISO3200 test.
Samsung NV9: Verdict
The Samsung NV9 is one of the freshest cameras I’ve seen in a while for the point and shoot crowd. The retro dashboard reeks of style while the modern design will keep the gadget freaks happy.
It’s hard not to like the camera as it’s a breeze to use and feels so modern. The tests results aren’t overly positive and I think Samsung need to work on picture quality, camera responsiveness and think about how consumers wish to see the photographs. Overly saturated in the primaries? I don’t think so.
If you’re a happy snapper that goes on looks of a camera over perfomance and you’re not in a rush to take pictures, then this one is right up your street.
Samsung NV9: Plus points
Good new features
Fancy menu is easy to use and looks great
Samsung NV9: Minus points
Slow shutter lag
Over saturates primary colours
Bad noise at high ISO
Slow at confirming actions
The Samsung NV9 costs around £149 and is available from Warehouse Express here: Samsung NV9.
Nikon Coolpix S6150 Digital Camera Review
Nikon Coolpix S6150 Lens Extended
The Nikon Coolpix S6150 was announced in August 2011, with a 16 megapixel sensor and 7x optical zoom. It is available in black, red, violet and pink for £139.95.
Nikon Coolpix S6150 Front
Nikon Coolpix S6150 Features
The S6150 features a 16 megapixel sensor and a 7x optical zoom lens which is a 35mm equivalent of 28 – 196mm. On the rear of the camera is a 3 inch LCD touch screen allowing you to control the camera and select your point of focus.
To make picture taking easy Scene Auto Selector selects the optimum Scene mode for popular photographic situations and the user is also able to choose from 19 scene modes. Subject Tracking AF keeps the camera focused on a subject even when it is moving.
The camera has a number of ways to help you take the sharpest pictures possible. Lens-shift Vibration Reduction helps reduce the effect of camera shake and high ISO (up to 3200) reduces the risk of blurred images with fast-moving subjects or in low-light. Motion detection compensates for camera and subject movement, with Best Shot Selector (BSS) automatically selects the sharpest of up to 10 sequential shots.
There is also a range of features which are suitable for taking people pictures. Smile Timer takes a picture when your subject smiles and Blink Proof alerts you when someone has closed their eyes. Skin softening will adjust uneven skins tones, with in-camera Red-eye Fix correcting false eye colour caused by the flash.
The S6150 has a retouch menu which enables you to edit and enhance images in the camera. Filter effects available include Selective Colour, which converts your image to monochrome then adds a splash of colour to an area of your choice and Cross Screen, which adds a starry effect to bright objects.
Videos are recorded in 720p HD with stereo sound. Optical zoom is also available during recording. To view your videos the camera has a built-in HDMI connector for output to a HDTV.

Nikon Coolpix S6150 Screen
Nikon Coolpix S6150 Handling
The S6150 is a stylish looking compact camera, packing its 7x optical zoom lens into a compact body. The 3 inch LCD touch screen is used to control most of the settings on the camera and is responsive. Even with the touch screen there are still five buttons, including on/off, shutter, movie, scene and playback buttons. On the rear of the camera is a groove for your right thumb to grip it. The camera menus are easy to navigate with a large amount of settings available at the touch of the button via the touch screen, such as ISO, white-balance, self-timer amongst others. Some of the writing which indicates what the buttons are for has worn away quickly during testing.
The camera is ready to take pictures within a couple of seconds of switching on and is quick to focus. The battery has a CIPA rating of 210, which is fairly low, so if you take a lot of pictures when out shooting for a day you may like to consider carrying a spare. In continuous shooting mode the camera is capable of shooting full sized 16 megapixel images at 1.2 fps.

Nikon Coolpix S6150 Performance
Images produced by the S6150 are well exposed with good colour reproduction, although there is purple fringing appearing on occasion. Detail in the images is good when shooting wide, with only a slight softening in the corners. When using the lens at its longest, the areas of softness in the corners are larger and there is vignetting visible. The lens has a minimum focus distance of 3cm and is able to take a pleasant macro image.

There isn’t any issue with noise at ISO 80 and ISO 100 with only a hint appearing at ISO 200. There is a little more noise at ISO 400, with a sharp image still produced, but at ISO 800 images are a touch softer. Noise has a big impact on image quality at both ISO 1600 and ISO 3200, with these settings best used when shooting images that are to be resized for web use.

Reviewed.com roundup: new OLED TV is above and beyond
For nearly 15 years, Reviewed.com has tested thousands of products all to help consumers buy, use, and understand electronics, appliances, and now cars. This week we tested a whole bunch of sexy TVs and cameras, some yawn-inducing fridges and cooktops, and a luxury car.
Samsung KN55S9C Curved OLED TV Review
It’s finally here: The Samsung KN55S9C Curved OLED – one of two OLED TVs available in the U.S., the other being the LG 55EA9800. If you don’t know what OLED technology is, educate yourself. Then read our review of the Samsung S9, which is now the top-tested TV on Reviewed.com.
There’s no way around it, the S9 is expensive (MSRP $8,999.99). But still $6,000 less than LG’s competing OLED display. And it certainly performs above and beyond any other TV we’ve seen. Black levels are essentially perfect-that is, completely black, with no incidental light emission whatsoever. Equally impressive is the contrast, which doesn’t falter even in a brightly lit room, meaning the Battle of Hoth will look great even on a bright wintery afternoon. Finally, the design is impeccable. You may find yourself hypnotized by the demo photos before remembering you can watch actually TV on this sucker.
Nikon Coolpix A Digital Camera Review
If it were the only large-sensor compact on the market, we’d heartily recommend the Nikon Coolpix A (MSRP $1,099.95) for photographers who want excellent image quality in a pocketable camera. Unfortunately for Nikon, buyers have a lot of options these days, and the Coolpix A is outclassed. It’s a beautifully designed compact that takes gorgeous photos thanks to its 16-megapixel APS-C image sensor and 28mm f/2.8 lens. But it’s not nearly as flexible as a camera like the Ricoh GR, which is superior is virtually every way, and still somehow costs $300 less. We’d pick a handful of other cameras before this one-photographers who are willing to spend this much on a camera demand excellence these days.
2013 Lexus LS 460 AWD: Invisible Touches
The 2013 Lexus LS 460 is a study in piecemeal improvements over three decades of research and development. The attention to detail is everywhere, and the engineering top-notch. It’s true that the LS 460 has been surpassed by its competitors in a lot of key categories-including on-board tech, style, and plain old driving enjoyability-but it’s a well crafted machine that holds its own. Another caveat: price. The LS starts at $72,140, and can easily break $110,000 with options.
Kenmore 41152 Refrigerator Review
A straightforward side-by-side from a straightforward appliance brand, the Kenmore 41152 will keep your food cool, period. If you’re somewhat bored by the design, you should admire the price; it can be found for as low as $1,150. That investment will get you a fridge with consistent temperature performance and impressive efficiency to save you even more money in the long run. It doesn’t have a lot of nifty features, but the price and dependability should more than make up for that minor shortcoming.
Asus Taichi 21 Laptop Review
The Asus Taichi 21 is advertised as the world’s first dual-screen laptop/tablet hybrid. That may be, but when it comes to consumer tech, innovation is nothing without good execution, and the Taichi is poorly executed. It’s a solid performer, and slimly designed, but the touch response is inconsistent to the point of being infuriating. We were also disappointed by the battery life, as it lasted a little over 3 hours with basic web browsing and a half-lit screen. If you really like the idea of dropping $1,600 on a hybrid laptop-tablet combo, go ahead. But we weren’t too impressed.

WASHINGTON REPORT HDT JANUARY 2020 12 WWW TRUCKINGINFO COM California Connecticut Maine Massachusetts New Jersey Oregon Rhode Island and Vermont have joined with the District of Columbia to sign a statement of intent to develop an action plan to accelerate the deployment of zero emission trucks and buses The initiative is led by the Northeast States for Coordinated Air Use Management and the California Air Resources Board Our states recognize that nearly all new motor vehicles need to be electric by 2050 to achieve the necessary reductions in greenhouse gas emissions according to a statement by the initiative Therefore transportation electrification is a key climate action strategy and a top air quality priority for our states The next step is for the state governors to agree to a memorandum of understanding to develop a strategy to accelerate the zero emission truck market The Federal Communications Commission has voted to move forward with the process of opening the 59 GHz wireless safety spectrum to non transportation users a move that dismays many in the transportation world because thats the spectrum that would be used for connected vehicles FCC commissioners said the move was designed to promote innovation in the 59 GHz band It said this decision was influenced by the slow deployment of dedicated short range communications DSRC technology the development of new transportation systems and the demand for unlicensed operations like Wi Fi The FCC is supporting Chairman Ajit Pais proposal to open up the lower 45 megahertz of the 59 GHz band for unlicensed uses such as Wi Fi while leaving the remaining 30 megahertz of the band for use by transportation and vehicle safety related communication services according to the report The proposal would provide Cellular Vehicle to Everything an emerging standard for transportation applications with exclusive access to the upper 20 megahertz of the band Under the commissions current rules no spectrum is allocated for C V2X The proposal also seeks comment on whether to retain the remaining 10 megahertz for use by DSRC systems or to dedicate it for C V2X use The transportation industry is already pushing back on this proposal The American Trucking Associations in an online blog pointed out that vehicle to vehicle vehicle to infrastructure or vehicleto everything technology enables a car to communicate with its surroundings Using either dedicated short range radio or cellular technology connected vehicles can provide drivers with instant highly accurate warnings to impending crash situations NHTSA estimates this could reduce the number and severity of unimpaired motor vehicle crashes by up to 80 We live in a world of limited resources and when society chooses its priorities for connectivity what should come first human lives or entertainment Dramatically reducing car crashes and saving thousands of lives every year or faster Wi Fi to surf the web while standing in line at the store Jim Tymon executive director of the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials said this proposal will jeopardize safety The FCC proposal threatens the ongoing investments being made in communications technologies designed to reduce fatalities on the nations roadways During a recent Transportation Research Board meeting King Gee AASHTOs director of safety and mobility said State departments of transportation provide for the safe and efficient movement of people and goods so protecting the safety spectrum is important to us And only through the addition of technology will we be able to fully achieve zero deaths on our nations highway and streets But such life saving technology applications must work right every time without interference Passing this proposal is the first step in the regulatory process Once the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking was published in the Federal Register a 30 day comment period began It is our intention to present a proposed memorandum of understanding to the governors of the undersigned states and the mayor of the District of Columbia for consideration in the summer of 2020 the statement notes Word of this effort came out as CARB was holding its first meeting to consider a proposed Advanced Clean Trucks regulation that would establish sales and reporting requirements for zero emission medium and heavy duty vehicles in California CARB is expected to consider the regulation for adoption this year Trucks are increasingly a major contributor to air pollution nationwide but especially in our cities where they are among the largest sources of toxic emissions in vulnerable neighborhoods said CARB chair Mary Nichols in a statement States to draw up zero emission action plan Transportation industry pushes back on 59 GHz reallocation proposal Technologies such as truck platooning rely on digital shortrange communications or DSRC which is part of the safety spectrum the FCC is proposing to change

Waldo Frank papers
Frank, Waldo David, 1889-1967
Extent: 63 linear feet (132 boxes, 1 oversized folder)
The papers document the literary career and the personal and professional life of twentieth-century American novelist and writer Waldo David Frank. Comprising correspondence, writings, publicity, writings by others, memorabilia, photographs, scrapbooks, and clippings spanning from 1879 to 1977, the collection contains 132 boxes and 3565 folders. The correspondence documents Frank's personal and professional relationships with writers, editors, artists, friends, and family. Letters from friendships with other writers and artists such as Jean Toomer, Sherwood Anderson, Alfred Stieglitz, Lewis Mumford, Van Wyck Brooks, and Hart Crane document congenial collaborations, sharing of ideas, and disagreements. The writings contain his notebooks, major works, articles, essays, and early writings tracing Frank's works and ideas of society and culture with psychological and social themes of man and his environment. Frank's passion for the culture and study of Spain, Latin America, and Mexico is apparent in correspondence and his research, preserved through notes and photographs of South America and Mexico. Letters and photographs display Frank's relationships with family members, his wives (Margaret Naumburg, Alma Magoon Frank, and Jean Klempner Frank) and his children. The materials in this collection divulge not only the writings of Waldo Frank, but the struggles of the writer and his encounters with himself and society as he seeks his vision of truth in the world. He was courageous in the face of his critics and his political enemies even when experiencing both written and physical attacks. Even though Frank claimed he was an outsider he was embraced by the people and cultures he championed and studied. Although largely forgotten by the end of his lifetime, his correspondence, writings, and ideas remain, providing insight into literary circles, political ideas, and historical events in the United States and Latin America during the early- to mid-twentieth century.

ROCKIN VEGAS DAVE:
I came Back to Vegas to see the Stones at MGM on 11/30/02,(which I bought six months ago) B.B. King at Stardust on 12/01/02. When I heard that Yes was playing the joint & The Doors at the Palms on 12/08/02 ( change it to 1/19/03), I decided to extend my visit longer, too see the show!!
Yes was full of engery that night. They weren't even using the house speakers, they were using these speakers, that made them ROCK!!!! Jon was asking the crowd do you smell the the margijuania??? Rick was giving high five's too Alan & Chris. Steve was on fire...fire!!!!Even though it wasn't sold out, They played as if they were back in 70's Stadium style. Totally classic YES night. I think the smell of dope distract Jon. Their were a couple times, that Jon forgot words. Don't worry,... the crowd would come in fix it. In the end, YES kick some ass!!!
long live YES!!!!!!
Rockin Vegas Dave
Colin Nicholls:
Ah... The Joint, Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas! Nice venue!
It was a good show, if you don't count all the MORONS. (Hey - shut the f$%& up why don't you. Show some respect if you love the band. We came here to hear YES, not you. Jeeze.)
Sorry - a bit curmudgeonly this evening.
The whole band looked kind of tired, as though they'd just got off the plane.
Siberian Khatru started slowly, and never came together - was it the sound mix? Timing? Hard to say. Jon was wearing a bandage on his hand but he took it off at the end of this song. Perhaps all his banging on the tamborine loosened it up.
Magnification next, segued into Don't Kill The Whale. Nice versions, both of them. The band is very together.
Now In The Presence Of. I like the ending of this but they take so long to get there. It's not my favorite track.
What was next? We Have Heaven followed by South Side of the Sky. Nice, tight versions. The sound man had got his act together by now, it was sounding good if you don't count the MORONS (see above.)
Then Steve's solo - some finger pickin' on the steel string: a piece from Natural Timbre and Ram (this is a great peice - he should play it more often.)
Clearly the audience was full of Howe fans tonight.
Then a 10 minute intermission.
Jon came back and did Show Me - was he on painkillers or something? More high and upbeat than usual.
Then Rick played a solo spot consisting of 16 bars from all six wives and some king arthur.
The band comes back for Heart of the Sunrise, Rick is burning on this one.
Almost straight into Long Distance Runaround followed by The Fish (including Silent Wings excerpt- why oh why won't they play this track in its completeness?)
I think I'm missing another song here somewhere.
Awaken (kind of so-so version I think) and then Starship Trooper for the encore.
THEY DID NOT PLAY Close To The Edge! Waaah!
Still a good show.

Read FBC Review of Imager
Read FBC Review of Imager's Challenge
Read FBC Review of Imager's Intrigue
Read FBC Review of Scholar
INTRODUCTION: After the trilogy consisting of Imager, Imager's Challenge and Imager's Intrigue that introduced us to Rhenn, one of the most enchanting narrators in recent fantasy, LE Modesitt goes back in time before the unification of Solidar to give us a tale that introduces another great character, scholar and secret imager, Quaeryt Rytersyn.
This time we will be treated to five Quaeryt volumes in the next few years - all written and all but the last titled and edited to go - so Princeps which picks up exactly where Scholar ends is the second volume of a huge five volume novel.
I will try to keep spoilers for Scholar at the minimum but obviously there will be some, so if you have not yet read the first Quaeryt novel and do not want to find out some major developments there, check my review of Scholar above instead.
OVERVIEW/ANALYSIS: First a quick refresher of the setup: the island continent of Lydar - in Rhenn's books named Solidar - separated in various states since time immemorial has recently been consolidated into three countries, of which big bad Bovaria in the East under sinister Rex Kharst plans to unite the whole continent with fire and sword and cleanse it of undesirable elements like the Pharsi minority - darker hued merchants, industrialists and seers famous for their beautiful and beguiling women as we have seen Seliora, Rhenn's wife in the original trilogy - the learned scholars and the magic wielding Imagers.
Opposing it, Telaryn is the other main continental power which has expanded to conquer most of the Western part of Lydar under its warlord Yaran dynasty, while the smaller southern Antiago stands for now mostly due to the reputation of its war Imagers and dreaded Antiagon Fire weapon.
Married with beautiful Pharsi women, so their prophetic capabilities run also in their family, the lords of Telaryn, brutal and unforgiving as they may be, are still better than the alternatives, and current Lord Bhayar is actually milder than his father and grandfather, though of course that invites ambitious governors with armies at their back to plot against him as some feel they offer a better chance to fight bigger Bovaria.
But Bhayar has a secret weapon - not that he fully knows it to start, though as the master manipulator he is slowly revealed through the first two books, he soon realizes it and becomes ruthless in using it -and of course that weapon is his former childhood classmate, Quaeryt, orphan raised by scholars, blond but with Pharsi blood so making him one of "the lost ones" as he keeps hearing it, super competent trouble shooter, scholar and secret Imager.
And as Quaeryt starts solving some of Bhayar most pressing internal problems, while keeping a semi-official correspondence with Vaelora, the headstrong and very intelligent youngest sister of Bhayar, what better way for the manipulator lord to marry the two and get rid of a potential domestic problem and tie Quaeryt even stronger to Bhayar's reign - not that Quaeryt does not realize it but as this dialog with Bhayar shows it, that's how it is:
"Quaeryt could not have expected anything else, he supposed. “Not Vaelora. Don’t bring her into it—”
“I won’t, not so long as I can count on you.”
You truly are a bastard. Quaeryt didn’t speak those words. “What other choice do we have?” He kept his voice level.
“Not much. You more than anyone should know what Kharst—or any other ruler—would do … has done to imagers and scholars.”
“Why do you think I’ve done what I’ve done—even before Vaelora?”
While keeping the same essential structure as "Scholar" - third person narration focusing on Quaeryt and storyline divided into three parts with the short first, more of an introduction, and the second and third parts being the "meat" of the book all ending with a concluding few pages at a good "to be continued" point, "Princeps" has a few differences, most notably the addition of Vaelora as main character whom we see quite a lot of as Quareyt's wife and the clearer division between Quaeryt as problem solver and Quaeryt as soldier since they roughly correspond to the second and third parts respectively.
I actually quite like that in this series - unlike the usual genre approach - rather than having the hero's love interest suffer unexpected reverses and the two being apart for contrived reasons, the author has the hero getting engaged and married fast so there are two main characters, and possibly kids to come too.
Another good point that is driven very well home in Princeps is that competence is not necessarily appreciated in a society that does not follow a democratic capitalist organization like ours, as being good at what you do may be threatening to the vested interests and may also rub them in the face with the fact that money or noble blood does not really make one superior.
"Still, as he waited, Quaeryt couldn’t help but ponder about the situation in which he found himself. For far more than the first time, he wanted to shake his head. If he provided flour at a reasonable price for the poorer inhabitants of Extela, the factors and holders complained. If he didn’t, the poor complained."
This very sfnal approach to fantasy - which is a trademark of both the Imager and the long running Recluce series is also something I really like and it is part of why with around 30 books read from his 56 or so published to date, L.E. Modesitt is second in living authors ranked by how much I read from and any new book of his is at least a "try" if not a must.
Overall Princeps is a top 25 novel of mine for 2012 and I will end with the one phrase summation from Goodreads that could stand in place of the longer review above: "excellent sequel to "Scholar"; Quaeryt and Vaelora solve one problem at a time until the **** hits badly the fan."
Interview with Joseph Robert Lewis (Interviewed by Mihir Wanchoo)
Read FBC'S Review of Omar The Immortal
My introduction to Joseph Robert Lewis happened through Goodreads and for that I'm eternally grateful. Omar The Immortal was the first book I read and I was hooked on to the world created. Since then I've been reading the other books in the Other Earth saga in Joe's preferred order & I'll be reviewing them over here soon as well. Until then read ahead to know more about Joe, his interests and the reasons for Other Earth creation and much more...
Q] Welcome to Fantasy Book Critic. So to begin with, for someone who hasn't read any of your novels, how would you describe the type of stories that you write? Could you also give us a bio?
JRL: Hi, and thanks so much for having me. My books say I’m “Joseph Robert Lewis” but that’s not because I’m pretentious, I just figured my names were so common that I would need to use all three to be remembered! Anyway, I have a terribly exciting degree in English literature, and by day I lead the wild life of a technical writer, working with scientists and engineers to build cool things and then explain them to the world. And we have the classic novelist bio closing line: I live in Maryland with my wife and daughters, a needy cat, and a zombie fish.
But at night I write novels that I like to call “historical fantasy” because they are set in an alternate but familiar world, a world of historical people and events, but also fantastical creatures and devices.
Q] In the past couple of years there has been a heady discussion about self-publishing. Many of my favorite authors such as J.A. Konrath and Barry Eisler have supported e-books and self releases. What were your thoughts in going indie for your Other Earth series? Did you try traditional publishing?
JRL: Prior to 2010, I had been submitting my work to agents and editors for several years, and I received a lot of personal, positive feedback, but no offers. So finally I decided that I would try self-publishing. It was a bit of a no-brainer actually, because in my day job I have worked as an editor, designer, and publisher already. The “work” was pretty easy for me.
But my rationale was essentially this: I can keep submitting novels to agents and probably achieve nothing (most books fail in the traditional system for one reason or another), or I can self-publish and probably achieve a little. And a little is better than nothing, so here we are. Eighteen months later, I have published twelve novels and novellas. I’ve made some friends, I’ve won some fans, and I’ve earned some extra income. It’s been wonderful.
If I had to guess, I’d say that history will probably look back and view the twentieth-century publishing companies (in books, music, and everything else) as a blip, an aberration, between the earlier and later periods of self-publishing where creators controlled their work and connected with their readers, listeners, and fans far more directly.
Q] When you started out did you have an overall plan for the Other Earth series, such as a set number of books (eight, as it turned out) to be written? How much of the plot do you plan out, or to quote George R.R. Martin, “are you a Gardner or an Architect” when it comes to your writing?
JRL: The Other Earth saga is the most accidental eight-book series ever. Before this, I had a laundry list of the types of books I wanted to write across all sorts of genres. I didn’t plan on writing any series because I personally find it a little boring when you have book after book of the same characters having painfully similar adventures in the same place. Remember how great The Matrix was? And remember how disappointing the sequels were? I wanted to avoid that.
But then I realized that if I created a truly diverse world, then I could write many of my different genre stories in this one shared setting. So I created the Halcyon Trilogy: The Burning Sky (steampunk), The Broken Sword (swashbuckler), and The Bound Soul (revenge). This was followed by the Europa Trilogy: Omar the Immortal (murder mystery), Freya the Huntress (Vikings versus werewolves), and Wren the Fox Witch (zombie horror). And lastly I wrote the Chimera Duet: The Dragon and the Lotus (mystical medical mysteries) and The City of the Gods (Egyptian mythology).
Each book shifts the focus to a different main character and a different setting, but all of the books are tied together by overlapping casts and story lines, which come together in the final book. Altogether, the series spans the adventure, mystery, horror, paranormal, fantasy, science fiction, and even superhero genres. Trust me, I was as surprised as anyone.
I do plan out each individual book, but those plans rarely survive to the end of the story. My outlines change all the time, but there is always a working outline so I know what I’m doing and why I’m doing it. This really helps to maintain the pace, structure, and focus of a story. I guess I’m a Gardner who builds a trellis, then when I see the book growing off in a new direction I redesign the trellis!
Q] What inspired you to fuse steampunk and alternate history to create the Other Earth books?
JRL: I was inspired by an awkward mixture of embarrassment and anger, specifically about racism and sexism in popular media. We keep seeing the same tropes over and over, and I think it usually reveals a sort of laziness or entitlement on the part of the creators (the writers) or the publishers (executives). So in my infinite pride and bravado, I figured I could do better.
I knew I really didn’t have the insight or the perspective to write a truly progressive or powerful book regarding race or gender (I’m the prototypical Straight White Male), but I knew I could at least try to write books with fewer tropes and more positive images and characters. So I tried. At that time I was interested in steampunk, which is usually focused on Victorian England or the Wild West, so I set out to write a steampunk adventure set in Morocco, with a matriarchal society, and a cast of heroes and villains that were mostly women. And it went on from there.
I have no illusions that I’ve created some beacon of equality in modern media, and I’ve probably used a few of those tropes I wanted to avoid, but I think for the most part that I have created a series that is full of diverse and positive images that I would be happy to see my daughters reading and emulating. And this concludes the After School Special portion of our interview.
Q] Speaking of research, I’m curious about how you approach a new novel. For example, do you start from scratch when you’re working on a new book or do you have a pile of ideas that you can choose from when you’re deciding what to write next?
JRL: I have a To-Write list as long as my arm, and it gets longer every day. So when I finish one project, I always have the next one lined up. And whenever I’m not writing but I still want to be productive, I go into my notes to develop new characters or book outlines, or hang out on Wikipedia trying to discover new ideas for characters, settings, or stories. By the time I’m ready to write the new book, I already have all the characters and outlines finished and I’m really excited to hit the ground running.
Q] So far you have dabbled in Alternate History, Fantasy, YA, Horror, and SF, and your books have been set in locations as varied as Spain, Morocco, Egypt, India, etc. Why this wanderlust in terms of genre and setting?
JRL: There are two reasons for my wanderlust. One reason is noble. The other reason… not so much.
First, the noble reason. I think a lot of books and movies today are fairly repetitive and unoriginal in their choice of settings. How many TV shows are set in New York or Los Angeles? Answer: All of them. (I rounded up.) So I think it’s well worth the effort to bring readers the sights and sounds of other places, other continents or cities or cultures. We live in a big world full of amazing things and it’s a little ridiculous that so much of our entertainment is filled with the same people in the same places.
And now for the less noble reason.
This may shock and surprise some people, but some writers like myself are a bit introverted. My idea of a great vacation is staying home and working on a book. (I also have the standard job/family situation that makes it hard to do much globe-trotting.) But at the same time, I love learning about our world and its history. So my compromise is to travel in my books, in my writing. And thanks to the Internet, you can do this in incredible detail. For example, I've combed through vacation photos on Flickr to see the glaciers of Iceland and used Google’s Street View feature to see every bench and tree in Paris. It’s not as good as being there, but it’s pretty good nonetheless.
Q] Your first series has had elements of Nordic, Russian, and Egyptian mythology in the main plots. How do you go about choosing these various mythologies and enmeshing them within your central plot structure? Do you pick these myths and then try to fit them within your plots, or do you structure your plots around these mythical aspects?
JRL: I’ve been mildly obsessed with world mythology since I was forced to read Edith Hamilton’s book Mythology (1942) as a child. I even took multiple (multiple!) classes in Norse mythology and poetry in college because I knew that one day that knowledge would be really, really useful. So basically I’ve been collecting all of these stories from ancient cultures, from Quetzalcoatl to Inari to Krishna, and now I’m really excited to have a way to tell these stories myself.
In Freya the Huntress, I retell the story of Odin’s violent self-sacrifice as told in the Poetic Edda. In Wren the Fox Witch, I visit Baba Yaga’s chicken-leg house of horrors. And in The City of the Gods, I explore the dysfunctional family relationships of the Egyptian deities. Sometimes these are just interesting asides, and sometimes they are central to the plots.
Q] Please tell us about the books and authors who have captured your imagination and inspired you to become a wordsmith in your own right. Similarly, are there any current authors whom you would like to give a shout out to?
JRL: To keep this short, I’ll limit myself to four answers. The Last Unicorn by Peter Beagle, which is a lovely fairy tale full of lyrical language and lovely imagery. The Princess Bride by William Goldman, which is as exciting and romantic as it is genuinely funny. Hyperion by Dan Simmons, which explores an amazing science fictional universe using the story-telling techniques of Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales. The Wreck of the River of Stars by Michael Flynn, which presents a huge array of fascinating character studies with a lot of solid science and research. READ THEM.
Q] Your new YA book has a titular character who shares her name with an iconic videogame character. Was this coincidental?
JRL: There are no coincidences. I have played nearly every Legend of Zelda title since my brother and I scraped together the money to buy the first one for our NES in 1987. And for whatever reason (probably just basic childhood nostalgia, but let’s pretend it’s something more mystical), those games have been lodged in my brain for over 25 years now. But it’s always bugged me that it’s the same story over and over. Link saves Zelda, fade to black. Not anymore!
So in my new series, the young lady who saves the day is named Zelda (no one is named Link). I like the name so much that I tried to convince my wife to name our daughters Zelda, but she voted me down both times. Sorry girls, I tried.
Q] You have previously mentioned on your blog that when younger, you had no interest in English. However, you graduated college with a degree in English literature even though you had an aeronautical engineering major when you started. What instigated the change and could you expound on this major transition?
JRL: In high school I had some mean English teachers and a love of fighter jets, so my path in college was clear: aerospace engineer! And I’ll tell you what went wrong. I didn’t like the folks in my engineering classes, and I realized that I didn’t want to be around them, or become like them.
On the other hand, I loved my English classes. The teachers were funny (and seemed happy to be there) and I liked the people in those classes, so I decided to stick with English for the next four years. And things seemed to work out pretty well…
…except that I became a technical writer, and now I hang out with engineers all the time. But only the cool engineers!
Q] You are also writing and heavily involved in this fantastic project called “The Drifting Isle Chronicles.” Can you tell us about its inception, its growth, and anything else you wish for us to know?
JRL: Last winter I made a writer’s bucket list of projects I wanted to do. Movie scripts, comic books, and collaborative projects… and I decided to take a stab at that last one. So I put out a call for authors to write and publish a complete fantasy series together. And within a few days, I had my team. Over the last few months, I’ve been working with four other authors to invent a new fantasy world that combines steampunk styling with some original magical elements.
Now, we’re each writing our own novels in this shared world. Our plan is to publish our novels together later this year as a five-volume series, and then work together to cross-promote it. I’ve heard of other projects where authors contribute short stories to anthologies within a shared world, but this may be the first time ever that a group of authors have contributed whole novels simultaneously into a complete series.
So I hope everyone will check out the Drifting Isle Chronicles later this year.
Q] You currently write vastly different series. How do you go about writing them (do you delineate different time periods for writing them or do you write depending on how you feel each day)? Could you tell our readers about your writing methods? And particularly about the discipline required to produce more than 2 or 3 books a year?
JRL: Stephen King pointed out many moons ago that if you write just one page (300 words) per day, then you’d have a novel in one year. If you write three pages (1,000 words) per day, then you can write three to four novels in one year. Currently, I write anywhere between 1,000 and 5,000 words per day.
Yes, that sounds like a lot. But it’s not that difficult. I work all day, and spend all evening with my family, so I don’t even get to start writing until the kids are in bed around 8 or 9 at night. But then I write like the Dickens! I did have to give up some hobbies like channel surfing, but I think it was the right choice.
Q] You have continued to have a very active online presence via your blog and social media. Tell us about the chaotic nature of these tasks, which fill up an author's life nowadays.
JRL: I am pretty clueless about social media. My SEO is terrible. My blog post titles are not optimized, nor are my keywords. I have no idea what makes for a good tweet. And I’m pretty sure that I’m blogging and tweeting at the wrong times of the day, so no one is even seeing what I write.
I’ve set some simple rules for myself: Blog about things I actually care about, and try to make them relevant to my books. And the good news is that this does bring in readers who care about the same things I care about, and who do have an interest in my books, so I’ve been able to build a small community of folks with the same interests in stories, history, culture, media, and social issues.
Q] In closing, are there any final thoughts or comments that you'd like to share with your readers? What can we look forward to you in the future?
JRL: I’d just like to tell my readers that I’m tremendously grateful for their support, from all the kind reviews to the interviews and even the fan-art! Looking ahead, we’ll definitely be seeing more of Zelda Pryce and her magical machines, and then I hope to visit Japan at the birth of the Tokugawa Shogunate, and eventually return to science fiction with a sequel to Heirs of Mars. And that’s just for starters!

Dragoneers Saga Answers from my twitter DM box.
When I published The First Dragoneer I had no idea what I was doing. The Sword and the Dragon was getting a small amount of attention, but no one wanted to invest $8.88 in an unknown author. I put The First Dragoneer out as a free sample of my writing, and even though it wasn’t perfect, it was pretty cool.
People started to pay attention then.
Fast forward to now. When people read book one of The Dragoneer Saga – The Royal Dragoneers, they wonder why March and Brendly from the free novella, are not there. This has caused several folks to growl and snarl at me. Well to clear this matter up, I am here to tell you that Marcherion, “The First Dragoneer” was in fact flying across continents on the back of his dragon, Blaze the whole time Jenka, Zahrellion, Rikky, and their dragons were battling Gravelbone in book one.
In Cold Hearted Son of a Witch – Book II, The fifth Dragoneer also arrives, and together 5 dragons with 5 riders try and win the day.
I’ll not even start to tease you about book III – The Confliction, which came out a few months ago.
The next Dragoneer issue that people flood my twitter DM box with questions about is Crimzon & Clover and how the two adventurers fit in with the Dragoneers.
This is easier. The Crimzon & Clover Short Story Series is now 4 episodes long and growing. A few hundred years after Clover (a human woman’s) life has ended, her dragon Crimzon still lives. Clover and her big red wyrm battled the sarax long before the Dragoneers do. I can say no more because it will spoil all the fun.
Oh, and if Liviu, and Mihir will let me, I’d like to slip in a “Mickey” …well a “Mik” in this case. The fully revised edition of The Sword and the Dragon became available for kindle and their apps today. It is FREE for Prime members.
Thank you for your time, M. R. Mathias aka @dahgmahn

Read FBC review of Deep State
OVERVIEW/ANALYSIS Metropolitan: Inspired by the digital recent reissue (as noted on FBC HERE) I read again, probably for the 5th time, the Metropolitan/City on Fire sequence. The one distinction this time was that I read the two books the first time after a heavy dose of fantasy reading from 2008-2011 when to a large extent I exhausted my interest in most of the genre the way I did with mysteries 20+ years ago.
Metropolitan was still fresh and interesting and did not read like a fantasy of 2012 or of 1995 for that matter, showing once again how much ground is to explore if people - both writers and readers - would stay away from the usual rut of faux-medieval or vampires/zombies somehow thrown together with modern tech, while still having superb worldbuilding, great characters etc...
And despite the author's insistence on calling Metropolitan a fantasy, its mindset is still sfnal and that imho is the fundamental divide between the two - fantasy - conservative, pre-modern based on the superiority of blood and lineage "you are who you are born" though of course you may just be of noble blood in disguise, sf - progressive, modern, based on the superiority of human intellect expressed in science and technology, "you are what you can achieve".
Back to the book, this is the story of a World City, though still racially diverse and divided into many states, and of Aiah a 25 year old born and living in Jasper, an ordinary bureaucratic and stale state of the World City, but being from the Barkazil, a despised stateless minority usually relegated to the dole and petty thieving. Aiah managed to improve somewhat her Barkazil lot and continue school, work for the government - still better than the dole after all - have a Jasperii lover with whom she bought an upper middle class apartment in a new tower...
Having a talent for plasma work - the magical source of power of the universe - Aiah could not continue her studies at a more advanced level, but at least after a few years of field work, she now works as the most junior investigator for the Authority, the government department in charge of regulating the plasma use - metered like electricity in our world, but with pockets of "wild plasma" here and there plus with the usual thefts and contraband.
When an outbreak of wild plasma manifests itself spectacularly and deadly, the Authority brass decides it must come from some usually troublesome area, but Rohder, an old hand at dealing with plasma with great seniority though now in a sort of "golden parachute exile" in the Authority, feels differently and with whatever clout he still has, manages to get the brass to appoint someone to investigate - and of course it is the most junior and unimportant investigator, namely Aiah.
One problem is that the place (an abandoned factory and train terminal) is in a slum, but one populated in part by the racist "Jaasperi nation" gangs where Aiah's brown skin is unwelcome; still with two Authority field hands at her back - the sort of blue collar workers of the time as opposed to the white collar Aiah - and despite the usual heckling, snubbing (eg Aiah is refused food from a stall under some silly pretexts), Aiah does her duty and by chance discovers a very powerful source of wild plasma in the area, luckily when her helpers were somewhere away.
Thinking hard about the future and pressed by financial troubles as her fiancee Gil is on an assignment away which keeps his cash flow under stress so his contribution toward the mortgage etc are less than expected, Aiah decides to conceal her discovery and try and sell it.
In the meantime Jaasper is also home to exiled former Metropolitan (President/Supreme Leader etc) of half way around the world Cheloki, one Constantine - black skinned racially as it happens, opposed to the white Jaasperi and the brown Barkazil - plasma wizard, very rich, but whose semi-idealistic New City movement scared Cheloki's conservative neighbors so badly that they ganged up, invaded and deposed Constantine some decades ago.
Living a seemingly idle life of a rich retired magnate, Constantine still has some devoted followers, some from idealism as the New City ideology is still very appealing to many, especially the poor and downtrodden, though as we see later it is mostly a form of our democratic capitalism btw, some from habit, some like his right hand woman, lover and confidant with a pet black panther, Sorya, from believing Constantine still not washed out and a ticket to power.
And while secretly sponsoring shows that keep his name in the "news" and plotting with various disaffected factions in various states, Constantine is still mostly washed out until of course Aiah comes around with her offer (money for the wild plasma).
And as a very corrupt state Caraqui, not quite near Jaasper as even Constantine is wise enough to know that he cannot *** off the Jaasperi who give him asylum how much he despises their fossilized bureaucratic government, is teetering on the brink of revolution, Aiah's plasma may make all the difference between another chance at the New City and final defeat.
And of course Aiah's part idealism, part cynical realism is caught with Constantine's charisma and his offer to teach her "real" plasma use, so Aiah starts becoming involved in the "great game" too; not to speak that despite their ineptness, the Jasperi police cannot ignore the obvious at some point (running a plasma war machine from Jaasper tends to be spectacular) so Aiah may find herself into trouble there too.
All in all just a masterpiece and with a great ending to boot; lots of interesting secondary characters (Barkazil mostly as in Aiah's extended family, but also the Caraqui, some quite strange as the city is watery so has sentient dolphins, and genetically deformed humans among its inhabitants), though Aiah, Constantine and Soryah in her occasional appearances just shine.
After all there is a reason I read this book 4-5 times so far and I expect I will read it a few more times..
OVERVIEW/ANALYSIS City on Fire:
As I do not want to spoil too many things just a few notes.
City on Fire starts where Metropolitan ends with Aiah taking Constantine's offer and arriving in liberated Caraqui - though not a native, Constantine is one of the new leaders though seemingly of less importance than the officer leading the coup and the slimy cleric who turned his cloak and supported the revolution - where somewhat to her surprise she is appointed head of the new "Plasma Recovery" department under minister Constantine.
Using the skills learned in Jaasper and finally having carte-blanche to bust the local mafia and the plasma black market in the name of the revolution, Aiah soon shines in her job and slowly she becomes a magnet for Barkazil from all over, while deftly navigating the treacherous waters of Caraqui where the various groups compete for power
But the revolution is under peril as the survivors of the former kleptocracy and the dons of the busted mafia convince the neighbors that they are better back in power, while internally the conflicts between the various Caraqui interests also threaten its survival and of Aiah, Constantine etc too.
Constantine's New City ideals are still powerful and together with Soryah's skilled intrigue capabilities and Aiah's recovered reserves of plasma and her new found fame as some mercenary Barkazil brigades are renowned all over the World City and they may just follow a Barkazil "world figure" hoping to recover their native state now under foreign protector-ship may make the difference between death or survival; on the other hand Constantine has his dark secrets, not to speak that there is space for only one powerful woman in his life and Soryah does not like competition...
City on Fire is even better in some ways than Metropolitan and I so wish the author will write more as the ending while at a decent point and not on a cliffhanger, with its main threads solved, promises so much about what was supposed to come before the series' untimely cancellation.

Win An Omnibus Copy of David Dalglish's Shadowdance Trilogy
AUTHOR INFORMATION: David Dalglish was born in Missouri and graduated from Missouri Southern State University with a degree in Mathematics. He is the author of the popular Half Orcs series, The Shadowdance trilogy and The Paladins series. He has previously worked as a manager and as a para-professional for Spec-Ed students. He lives with his wife and children in Missouri.
OFFICIAL SYNOPSIS: “You told me I would inspire fear from the shadows, yet you would be the light to banish all shadows. You still can. Be stronger than them. Be stronger than any of us. Prove to Veldaren that you can stand against the darkness, without mask or cloak, and live.”
Haern is the King’s Watcher, born an assassin only to become the city of Veldaren’s protector against the thief guilds. When Lord Victor Kane attacks the city, determined to stamp out the thief guilds in revenge for past crimes, foreign guilds pour into the city to take advantage of the chaos in an attempt to overthrow the current lords of the underworld.
And when a mysterious killer known as the Widow begins mutilating thieves, paranoia spreads until it engulfs the city. Haern knows someone is behind the turmoil, pulling strings, and if he doesn’t find out who, and soon, his beloved city will burn.
CLASSIFICATION: The Watcher’s Blade trilogy is a dark, gritty, character-driven fantasy trilogy in the vein of works by David Gemmell, Brent Weeks and Peter V. Brett.
FORMAT/INFO: Blood Of The Underworld is 304 pages divided over thirty-one numbered chapters with a prologue, epilogue and an Author note. Narration is in the third person via several different point-of-views, both major and supporting characters, including the main protagonist Haern the Watcher, Alyssa Gemcroft, Zusa, Lord Victor Kane, Guild lord Thren Felhorn, Grayson of Mordeina, Antonil Deathmask, Nathaniel Gemcroft etc. Blood Of The Underworld is the first volume of the Watcher’s Blade trilogy.
The trilogy itself is set in the same world as The Shadowdance trilogy, and is the sequel to that series with mild spoilers within. May 9, 2012 marked the independent publication of Blood Of The Underworld in multiple E-book formats. Cover art is provided by Peter Ortiz.
ANALYSIS: David Dalglish’s previous trilogy was a revelation for me as it introduced me to the author as well as his dynamic storytelling prowess. The series was supposed to focus on Haern’s origins and explore his need to become the person he is currently. It was a dark and unforgiving series that was tough on all of its characters, ruthless in character deaths and perhaps the author’s homage to Batman's beginnings. The final book however didn’t complete the arc as set by the first book and the author has spoken a bit about it in this guest post.
The trappings of the trilogy was that a son rebelled against his father’s wishes and that was the underpinning that powered the main character as well as galvanized the readers as they wanted to see how it would end. While the original trilogy didn’t exactly end on that note, the current trilogy plays out to that very end. It also serves as a bridge between the Half-Orc series, the Shadowdance trilogy as well as the Paladin series. The main theater of action would be set in the city of Veldaren primarily and also focusing on other regions as per the story dictates. The book also aims to bring together all the characters and infuse the story to make it an explosive one.
The story begins the king of Veldaren receiving a letter of intent from Victor Kane, lord of a nearby region who wishes to accomplish a task that no one has attempted so far. He wishes to rid the city of all its thieves, murderers and other scum. To do so, he has brought his own private army and is ready to start his mission. Alyssa Gemcroft has recovered from the events of the city of Angelport nearly two years ago and she has learnt to be more cunning while also growing in her economic strength. She however is unprepared for a new surprise that awaits her in mansion of a fellow trifect member. Zusa is resilient and has constantly been the pillar of support for Alyssa in many ways however she will have to face demons and problems from her past as well and this time it might just be enough to break her. Then there’s Thren Felhorn, the greatest and most feared guild lord who is still trying to regain his lost glory and lastly there’s the Widow who is going around on a killing spree motivated by reasons stranger than most men can fathom.
Thus begins the first volume of the Watcher’s Blade trilogy which attempts to fuse the character driven storyline of its preceding trilogy with the epic action and intrigue of the sequel Half-orc series. This powder-keg is all set to explode and explode it does, in a spectacularly brutal onslaught. The prologue opens with a riddle and a murder and then quickly the plot threads and characters are introduced with enough of a background presented for all new readers to get caught up adequately and for returning readers to whet their memories. The highlights of David’s previous books are spectacularly present, beginning with rapid pace of the story, multiple plot lines, intriguing characterization and sharp plot twists.
The best part however, is the characterization beginning with Haern and his troubled past, this series is basically about the confrontation that has been ordained between Haern and his father. The seeds for the confrontation were laced in the first two books of the Shadowdance trilogy and it’s in this book can the reader see them coming to fruition. There’s also Alyssa, Zusa, Thren, Victor Kane and a few other characters who each have their own plans and work towards their own ends. The equally awesome part is that while the series is about the Watcher, in this book the focus is shared by many characters each of whom can be confidently considered as a compelling protagonist or antagonist (depending on how you view their story).
This multifaceted character approach makes this story come alive tremendously as the reader is kept guessing on all fronts and something is happening in each POV character thread to keep the plot tension high strung. In this regards, the plot confusion and the thriller aspect of the story really shine through. The pace of the book also seems to make the book more akin to a thriller and this is another plus point in regards to the book. I can’t say that this book has no drawbacks to it but for the type of story I like to read, it had everything; tense mystery, believable characterization, epic action and lastly a strong authorial grasp on the story. All of this along with the book’s humor that is present but in minute amounts and is character specific which makes this story a fantastic read.
Lastly while this is a sequel trilogy, newer readers will have no problems jumping in and picking up the story, and for the older, returning readers this book is a crossroads of all the three previously written series thereby giving them a big crossover high. The author has commented upon this aspect in the afterword and it shows in the book as we come across a wide array of characters that confabulate and conflict to give the readers a rousing tale. The plot threads come to a reasonable conclusion at the end of this book and the reader is left with a big hint of the story direction of the next book Blood Of The Father.
CONCLUSION: David Dalglish is an anomaly of sorts, his books while seeming generic are turning out to be a unique combination of dark fantasy and exciting thriller modes, thereby giving the readers a potent story and making sure they are left wanting more. I was hooked with the previous trilogy and this one does more of the same in spades. If you truly wish to discover a fantastic new author, give this book a try or if you want, start with book I of the Shadowdance trilogy and experience the origin story as its unfolds epically.
"More Detail on Three Upcoming Novels of the Highest Interest: Lawrence Norfolk, K.J. Parker and Peter Hamilton" (by Liviu Suciu)
A little bit to my surprise I have recently been extremely lucky to obtain advance reading copies of three of my most awaited books for 2012 and as they cover the 3 areas of English language fiction that is of most interest to me today - sumptuous historical fiction, secondary world fantasy that is closer to historical fiction than to traditional lots of magic genre and modern space opera - I decided to talk a little about each below with reviews to come later in the year.
In September, Lawrence Norfolk returns to fiction after many years with John Saturnall's Feast. I read this book a few weeks ago, essentially the day I obtained my e-arc and I talked a little about both the author and the book on Goodreads. For now I will just present my final point from that "raw thoughts" mini-review.
"The novel is also very visual - I was picturing quite a lot of it as a Peter Greenaway movie, more precisely the mixture of the period of The Draughtsman's Contract and the feasting of The Cook, the Thief, His Wife and Her Lover - both movies that I've watched a number of times. Though now the cook is the lover too and he does not end on the dinner table..."
Since my first two readings, the novel kept staying with me and I plan at least one more end-to-end read later this year. The blurb below is reasonably accurate though it does not convey the richness of the book.
"A beautiful, rich and sensuous historical novel, John Saturnall’s Feast tells the story of a young orphan who becomes a kitchen boy at a manor house, and rises through the ranks to become the greatest Cook of his generation. It is a story of food, star-crossed lovers, ancient myths and one boy’s rise from outcast to hero.
Orphaned when his mother dies of starvation, having been cast out of her village as a witch, John is taken in at the kitchens at Buckland Manor, where he quickly rises from kitchen-boy to Cook, and is known for his uniquely keen palate and natural cooking ability. However, he quickly gets on the wrong side of Lady Lucretia, the aristocratic daughter of the Lord of the Manor. In order to inherit the estate, Lucretia must wed, but her fiancé is an arrogant buffoon. When Lucretia takes on a vow of hunger until her father calls off her engagement to her insipid husband-to-be, it falls to John to try to cook her delicious foods that might tempt her to break her fast.
Reminiscent of Wolf Hall and Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell, John Saturnall’s Feast is a brilliant work and a delight for all the senses."
In July, K.J. Parker's novel Sharps will be out and as two days ago I have just received a bound galley which I plan to enjoy with my usual "read 100 pages, reread them, read another 100, then read the first 200 again" that KJ Parker's novels deserve in order to tease all their subtleties before being hit with the expected hammer of unbelievable twists and turns, I can only say that so far it is just vintage author with the darkly ironic view of human nature and the generic world building and naming conventions familiar from earlier novels.
For a discussion of K.J. Parker's earlier work here on FBC you can look at my review of The Hammer and the links there - to date I have done 7 review posts about the author's work. The blurb below seems accurate from what I see.
"For the first time in nearly forty years, an uneasy truce has been called between two neighbouring kingdoms. The war has been long and brutal, fought over the usual things: resources, land, money...
Now, there is a chance for peace. Diplomatic talks have begun and with them, the games. Two teams of fencers represent their nations at this pivotal moment.
When the future of the world lies balanced on the point of a rapier, one misstep could mean ruin for all. Human nature being what it is, does peace really have a chance?"
(click to enlarge for full enjoyment)
In September (UK), Peter Hamilton's new standalone mammoth space opera Great North Road will be published and just yesterday a limited edition trade paperback review copy that stands at 1087 (!!) pages arrived in my mailbox. While the text is nicely large so the published book may stand at somewhat less, it still should clock close to 1000 pages.
I have only browsed a few pages so far but the book seems vintage Hamilton with the usual exuberant, sense of wonder style that justly made him one of the premier voices of today's SF. I will present the blurb below, while the image above should be seen at full resolution (click on it) for full enjoyment as it conveys what one expects from a P. F. Hamilton novel!
"In Newcastle-upon-Tyne, AD 2142, Detective Sidney Hurst attends a brutal murder scene. The victim is one of the wealthy North family clones – but none have been reported missing. And the crime’s most disturbing aspect is how the victim was killed. Twenty years ago, a North clone billionaire and his household were horrifically murdered in exactly the same manner, on the tropical planet of St Libra. But if the murderer is still at large, was Angela Tramelo wrongly convicted? Tough and confident, she never waivered under interrogation – claiming she alone survived an alien attack. But there is no animal life on St Libra. Investigating this alien threat becomes the Human Defence Agency’s top priority. The bio-fuel flowing from St Libra is the lifeblood of Earth’s economy and must be secured. So a vast expedition is mounted via the Newcastle gateway, and teams of engineers, support personnel and xenobiologists are dispatched to the planet. Along with their technical advisor, grudgingly released from prison, Angela Tramelo. But the expedition is cut off, deep within St Libra’s rainforests. Then the murders begin. Someone or something is picking off the team one by one. Angela insists it’s the alien, but her new colleagues aren’t so sure. Maybe she did see an alien, or maybe she has other reasons for being on St Libra "

I think there are some compatibility problems between the new Blogger interface and IE that led to that, but as I use Mozilla and have not been using IE for many years now, please notify us with a comment or email of any such display problems in any browser you use.

Read FBC Review of Children No More
OVERVIEW/ANALYSIS Mark Van Name's debut "One Jump Ahead" introduced Jon Moore mercenary ex-soldier and a man of many secrets that are so dangerous that he must live alone and make no attachments, and partner Lobo, personal AI warship (PCAV) mooning as park statue/exhibition on an obscure world, an AI ship of many secrets of its own, secrets that would not do for anyone to know either.
"No Going Back" is the 5th Jon and Lobo adventure and it came two years after the previous installment rather than at the one year schedule of the first 4. The novel returned to the more classic adventure feel of the first three books and while the darker and weightier Children No More was very good, I think the original tone works better especially now that the author has it down pitch perfect.
What makes No Going Back stand out is precisely what the title literally means, namely that from now on it is no going back to the older days as the series finds here focus and a narrative pillar. The super-competent hero with extraordinary powers trope revived so well in this series gets one more dimension, a clear goal and I am really interested to see how the author handles it.
Of course Jon and Lobo are such great characters as the first person narration of which Lobo gets a little share here in this book, has worked so well to have established and any new series installment is still a huge asap, get the e-arc on the spot and read it immediately notwithstanding how many other books I have in the queue.
As style goes, the novel is a gripping read from the first pages when Jon is in the process of trying to crash a party of rich old pedophiles - party where 10 children are auctioned off - on an obscure planet with great natural beauty but harsh physical characteristics. In the link above you can read the first 15 chapters on Baen's site and see how smooth everything goes.
The structure of No Going Back is a bit different from its predecessors, with chapters numbered "x days from the end" mixed with the 100+ year old backstory that continues Jon's memories from long ago, now from the time in his youth immediately after escaping the hell of his native - now quarantined - planet when he was not understanding his powers and trying to get the time needed to do so, while Lobo's interludes offer more insight into the AI's special human-like personality, the why's of which having been set-up in "Overthrowing Heaven".
No Going Back functions well as a standalone as all earlier books' story lines are recounted briefly here and there, while the salient facts about Jon and Lobo are also gone through, so you can start delving in the saga here, though from the way things end, I suspect the next volumes will become much more tightly connected in both plot and secondary characters.
As my usual, positional rankings go, this series is in my top tier, get/read asap any installment, while No Going Back is probably the best executed to date, though Children No More was "more serious". The clear series focus established here should only add to the pluses in the future when new Jon and Lobo adventures will appear.
Overall No Going Back still remains a pretty classical space adventure sf novel with modern style and sensibilities and with the the generally expected stuff implied by such, very well done but nothing previously not seen and it is one of my highly recommended novels of 2012.

Read FBC Review of Empire
"The year is 92 B.C. Gordianus has just turned eighteen and is about to embark on the adventure of a lifetime: a far-flung journey to see the Seven Wonders of the World. Gordianus is not yet called “the Finder”—but at each of the Seven Wonders, the wide-eyed young Roman encounters a mystery to challenge the powers of deduction."
INTRODUCTION: Outside speculative fiction, no contemporary writer is more appreciated by me than Steven Saylor for his wonderful Roma sub Rosa series with its main character Gordianus "the Finder" who is my current #1 fiction hero.
I summarized my impressions to the Gordianus novels HERE and I reviewed Empire, the second installment in the author's take on Roman history by following about 11 centuries of the fortunes of a patrician family entrusted with a special religious symbol.
What about the author's highly awaited return to Gordianus' adventures in The Seven Wonders? Read on for my take on it, but in brief I have to say that it fulfilled my expectations and even surprised me a bit towards the ending which opens the possibilities of more from Gordianus' early career before his brilliant entrance in the Rome of the high and mighty, when helping Cicero's subtle attack on Sulla's dictatorship in Roman Blood.
OVERVIEW/ANALYSIS: The Seven Wonders consists of short stories - most published last year in various magazines and anthologies of which I have previously read some four - glued together with an introduction in Rome where we get to see Gordianus' father and an epilogue in Alexandria, where Bethesda appears in the hero's life.
The topic of the stories is self-explanatory and the blurb above covers the needed details more than adequately, so I will talk about the general feel of the book rather than each adventure individually. There is a mystery - sometimes more obvious, sometimes more thriller-like than puzzling - but in each case the setting and the secondary characters are the highlight in addition of course to the still wise-cracking narration of Gordianus.
Structurally The Seven Wonders has the unifying thread of the Mithridatian menace to Rome which leads to the ambiguous motivations of various characters and gives a subtle feeling to the book as a whole which could not be discerned by having read the stories themselves on original publication.
Also as hinted throughout the series, Gordianus is not averse to men either and here he comes out - to us of course as the classical antiquity's mores where different and trickier; I really loved that part and I would just note that more than anything, this shows the difference between the 1990's and 2012 in US social mores and of what is deemed appropriate for publication in mainstream books...
Gordianus' voice at 18 still compelling and while he is appropriately youthful and overall I think I prefer his more mature and wiser voice of the novels, the book gets the balance well in this regard. Also the Rome introduction and the Alexandria finale are outstanding as historical fiction on their own, so there is scope for more young Gordianus, both in Egypt and at Rome, though I still want that promised novel with Gordianus warning Caesar on the Ides of March...
Since most of the stories were published earlier they obviously needed self-containment, so by necessity they tend to be simplistic as mysteries and lack the powerful unity of the novels, while the continual switching of venues tends to break the narrative flow but that was to be expected in what is essentially a "fix-up" novel.
I would have really loved more about the travel itself as Gordianus and Antipater cover quite a distance in visiting the Seven Wonders and occasionally interesting venues in their neighborhoods - the time is done well, no flying so to speak -but the travel details are skimped on and I missed that.
Overall, The Seven Wonders (highly recommended novel of 2012) is a very good introduction to Gordianus. While not at the level of the best novels in the series, the book does an excellent job within its parameters that impose quite a few restrictions, while managing to have an unifying thread and wonderful first and last parts.

Which is an ideal jurisdiction for company incorporation in Asia? Singapore and Hong Kong have been dominant players in the Asian region, vying for the position of “the best place to do business.” But the crucial questions are, which of these jurisdictions have an edge over the other? Is incorporating a business easier in Singapore or in Hong Kong?
Strategic location and attractive tax benefits make Singapore the most preferred location for the overseas companies to set up their business. Various options are – opening up a Branch Office, a Representative Office or a Subsidiary in Punggol Point . The country also has liberal immigration policies. If the company wants to set up their regional head quarters in Singapore they are also provided with Financial Assistance.
Best Top Accounting Firms In North-East, SG
A key determinant for setting up a business in Punggol Point is the tax regime in force. In this regard Singapore boast of being one of the lowest tax jurisdictions in the world. Detailed below is an overview of the tax system and Top Accounting Firms in Singapore.
Tax jurisdiction Singapore: Taxes are levied on a territorial principle i.e. companies and individuals are taxed on Singapore sourced income. In addition, the Foreign sourced income (branch profits, dividends, service income, etc.) are taxed when it is remitted or deemed remitted into Singapore unless the income was already subjected to taxes in a jurisdiction with headline tax rates of at least 15%.
How To Choose a Professional Accounting Company For Outsourcing
In 2010, Singapore was ranked as the most competitive country in the world. Doing business in Singapore, therefore, means a more fulfilling business atmosphere and better chances of higher profits. However, anyone can say the same about any other country or city in the world. So, what sets Singapore aside from the others? What makes it unique and more business friendly? Why is it that many multinationals are moving their headquarters in to this 710 square kilometers span of an island?
What Makes Doing Business in Singapore Attractive?
1. Singapore is a modern city
Singapore is placed among the most dynamic cities to live in and work in the world today.

It is also regarded as one of the most conducive cities for the knowledge-driven industries, globally.
2. It is pro business

3. Consistency in governance
This city is governed by consistent guidelines on business and investment where any business is guaranteed access to an impartial and competent judicial system. There is also clarity and commitment with regards to corporate governance and anti-corruption policy enhancement.
4. Ease of set up
The excellent infrastructure, a cosmopolitan labor force that is highly skilled, attractive tax laws that allow avoidance to double taxation, and low startup costs make starting a business in Singapore very attractive and easy to set up. Entrepreneurs are known to come in to Singapore and set up big businesses within a week!
5. Knowledge based industry
The economy of Singapore is skewed towards high knowledge based industries. There is a lot of emphasis towards innovation and this is what keeps this city very competitive business-wise.

Simply put, doing business in Singapore is affordable, easy to set up, and fun for any serious business person.
Quality Bookkeeping Services - Tips on Finding the Right Provider For Your Company
If you aspire to work in the corporate finance department of an organization, you are part of a team that is involved with collating data that form the solid basis for making capital investment decisions of a company. Some of its primary tasks include supplying figures that will support or oppose investment proposals. A corporate finance job entails management of company assets and liabilities, financial forecasting, inventory control, budgeting, and auditing.
The two key functions of corporate finance include:
Accounting - this involves recording of the day-to-day transactions of the company. Its tasks include payroll, tracking of company expenses, computation of revenue and balancing of the company's accounting books.
Finance - this is concerned with the management of the company's assets, liabilities, and investments. It is also responsible for the monitoring of the company's financial performance and analyzing its revenue and expenses in order to ensure that the company's capital is used in the most effective way possible.
Finance and accounting may assume different roles in an establishment, but they are geared towards a common goal which is to maximize the company's potentials for financial advancement.
Primary Requirements of Finance and Accounting Jobs:
Knack for Numbers
Finance and accounting professionals breathe and eat numbers everyday in their professional lives. You should be good in mathematics in order to become an effective member of the finance department.
Strong Analytical Skills
Jobs in finance involve forecasting, analysis, and problem solving. They require you to understand patterns of the company's expenses, debts, receivables, cash flow and profits. These are all represented by numbers. You need to put them together to produce a sound basis of the company's business decisions.
This is highly necessary because it can help to optimize the company's performance in the management of its finances. The company relies on the numbers you provide as its basis for formulating business plans and decisions.
You should be able to spot errors, unusual costs, and unnecessary expenses. These are important things you can bring to the attention of top management for appropriate action.
College Degree
A degree in finance or accounting is the basic requirement for a career in corporate finance. If you want to stand out in the profession, you may proceed to advanced studies.
A masters' degree in business administration or a certification in CPA or CFA will help to give you the best in a rewarding career. These will make you more attractive to companies and increase your chances for employment or promotion.
These are some of the essentials for getting a career in corporate finance. Have them and you will discover a world of business and corporate opportunities.

MtAMinutes to Action
Freedom Fighters is a third-person action game set in an alternate reality in which the Soviet Union became the world superpower after WWII. What sets it apart from other action games is the squad tactics: you can give orders to a number of other people, and must use them strategically to advance through the game. The more charisma you earn, the more people you can command.
The game came out in 2003 for Xbox, PS2, GameCube and PC. I played the GameCube version.
The story has the USSR invade the United States to "free it from a corrupt regime." You play as a guy from Brooklyn who sets out to make things right.
Will squad tactics help this game rise above an ordinary action game, or will the first hour be mired in learning a complicated control scheme, enough to put off any player? Let's find out.
Paul Eastwood delivers another great review just in time for the 4th of July! Enjoy!
(minutes are in bold)
00 - I choose "New Game" and the first hour of Freedom Fighters begins. Difficulty levels: "Demonstrator: A walk in the park," "Rebel: Have a blast," "Freedom Fighter: You got what it takes?" "Revolutionary: Against all odds." Well good, I was tired of "Easy, Medium, Hard" anyway. I choose Rebel, which I assume to be Normal.
01 - I spend nearly the first minute typing my name in with a clumsy keyboard interface. Strangely, the game only allows use of the control pad within menus, which at the very beginning led me to reset the game because I thought the controller was messed up.
02 - A cutscene introduces the plumber brothers Mario and . . . I mean Chris and Troy Stone. They complain about their work, and Troy mentions some conspiracy theories about the USSR, which he believes and Chris doesn't.
03 - The plumbers show up at a house but no one's home. Yeah, this can't be good. Russian-accented soldiers burst into the house and demand to know where "Isabella" is. They drag Troy away and order the house to be destroyed. Apparently they didn't see Chris, as I know have control of him and have to escape the house.
04 - A, X, and Y cause Chris to shout commands, variations on Advance, Defend and Retreat. R attacks, swinging a monkey wrench. B jumps, L is first person mode, Z brings up a real-time item menu.
05 - I clobber some unsuspecting Russian goons with my wrench and rescue a group of people being held at gunpoint. The apparent leader orders me to follow him. I obtain a handgun by walking over the guard's senseless body. That didn't take long!
06 - I run out onto a rooftop to see my brother being dragged into a helicopter and pop a few of the guards, but the helicopter gets away before I can do anything about it. Some soldiers shoot at me from the ground below; oh look, they're taking cover behind some red barrels. Boom.
07 - I am low on health, but I am led straight to an ambulance which contains medkits. We run out of an alley into a street full of people running, cars blowing up, and lots of smoke. It's pretty impressive. I make a right turn and come face to face with a huge Russian tank; I quickly turn around and run, taking cover behind wrecked cars.
08 - The tank blows up a cluster of cars right in front of me! The graphics aren't realistic, but they have a cool look to them. I come across a wounded man and give him one of my precious medkits, gaining 25 charisma points. Supposedly charisma allows you to recruit more people for the cause.
09 - I come across a guy who gives me a few Molotov cocktails and encourages me to throw them at the bad guys. We run up to a vantage point over a crowd of Russians behind cover and begin chucking the flaming bottles of gasoline (note: don't try this at home, kids). The first couple of throws miss, but then my new pal celebrates as we turn the ground below into a sea of flames with the Russians in the midst.
10 - Every enemy drops ammo. The aiming works by turning the camera with the C stick, and Chris automatically aims at anything in that general direction. I come across a manhole cover, which the game orders me to open. I get 25 charisma points and the game auto-saves.
11 - I'm treated to a cutscene, which is a newscast by a Russian woman, reporting my recent actions as "terrorist activity."
12 - We take a raft through the sewers (cut-scene) to the Brooklyn Rebel Base. It's a pipe junction in the sewer, with some camping equipment on it. My new friends and I get out on it.
13 - I can access a map, which shows sewer access points. I can choose which point to exit through. Depending on which I choose, I get a different mission briefing.
14 - The most important mission seems to be rescuing the leader of the resistance, Isabella, from the police station where she's being held. He says the police are pinned down by snipers on the roof of the gas station and need help.
15 - The game is pseudo-open-world. Soviet roadblocks keep movement from being completely free, but I can use the sewer system to get past some of them. Basically that separates the game into levels. I see the police hiding behind an overturned truck and head over toward them, and I'm dead. Apparently the snipers they mentioned got me.
16 - I bring up the map to try to see where the snipers might be. A sniper bullet nearly hits me, and then another one gets me, but I figured out where it's coming from.
18 - Now that I know the position of the snipers, I make it to the police behind the truck. One officer gives me C4 and tells me to blow up the gas station to take care of the snipers. I have to go to the other manhole to get to the gas station, cool. I thought each mission would be self-contained, but apparently not.
19 - I run up to a Soviet and fire, and Chris shoots him in the foot several times. Not sure if that was supposed to happen, but it was kind of cool. I pick up the soldier's assault rifle, sweet!
21 - The jaunt to the gas station is fairly painless, I spot two huge tanks of fuel. C4, anyone? Down the street on the other side of the fence I can see the cops I'm rescuing. Pressing A, I plant C4 on the fuel tanks, which takes a few seconds, then I get a count-down timer to get out of the way. As the timer hits zero, some dramatic choral music plays, and I rack up 25 more charisma points.
22 - As I run away a siren goes off in the distance. The Reds have been alerted to my actions! I shoot my way through a few enemy reinforcements back to the manhole and descend into the sewer, past a kid spray painting an American flag on the wall.
23 - I go back to the Police Station and the snipers no longer give me trouble. I like the way that played out.
25 - I run out of ammo in my assault rifle and he swings it like a club. I knock a couple guys out like this, but it's not effective enough, so I switch to my pistol.
26 - I sneak into the parking garage, avoiding the eyes of the guards in front of the station. I also figure out how to crouch: down on the control pad. Wish I had known that before.
27 - There are some soldiers in the parking garage, so we have a cool firefight between cars. One soldier ducks behind a car for cover, and the car alarm goes off as my bullets graze the fender.
28 - It's dark in here and hard to see the enemy soldiers. I quickly show myself from cover to lure the last one into shooting and giving away his position. Now I see you! Bang bang.
29 - I'm low on health, Chris can't take many shots. Med kits heal you fully.
30 - A baddy drops a shotgun, but I'll have to put down my assault rifle to carry it. I decide to give it a try. It is more powerful than the assault rifle but not an instant kill like in some games. I switch back to the assault rifle, which is longer range.
32 - I get killed as I'm using a medkit! Running and gunning is a bad idea, it exposes you to way too much fire. I have to start from the last time I saved, which is when I last entered a manhole.
38 - I get back to where I was killed and take a more cautious approach. Some guys are shooting at me from a balcony, I can't get a good shot back at them.
40 - There a bunch of guys out there, I don't think I can handle them all. I fall back and look for a alternate path, and what do you know, I find one. That's cool, I expected to have to kill them all, but really I just wasn't supposed to go there.
41 - I run upstairs and come out on the balcony, gunning down the would-be snipers.
42 - I remember I have Molotov cocktails and hurl one, but it's hard to aim them.
43 - I scour the halls of the Police Station until I hear someone call for help. I burst into an office with guns blazing, cutting down two guards. Another ducks behind a desk, but I jump over it and finish off the coward. The call for help came from none other than Isabella, the leader of the resistance and the woman I came to rescue! She suggests we hang our flag on the station, so I climb out onto the balcony and press A to pull down the Soviet flag and raise the Stars and Stripes (gaining 25 charisma for doing so).
44 - I get a stats screen with enemies killed, shots fired, etc. and then a cutscene shows me back in the base.
45 - I set out to rescue my kidnapped brother, who is being held in the post office.
46 - Isabella leads me to an apartment, a safehouse for the resistance movement. A bunch of people hanging around, they thank me for rescuing Isabella. Graffiti on the wall says "better dead than red."
47 - I take a detour to stock up on ammo hidden under the stairs; Isabella doubles back and reminds me I'm supposed to be following her and fusses at me for taking too long.
48 - The safehouse gives us a vantage point over the Post Office, which the Soviets are using as a staging area. Isabella offers the services of two men in the room, I can press A to recruit them. I run back downstairs to see if I can recruit anyone else but I can't, so I take those two men.
49 - They respond well to my commands. If I tap a command button, one of them responds. If I hold it down, they both do it. Whoops, I go into a restroom, and one of them gets stuck on the wall trying to get out, and I have to do some clever ordering to save him. I guess I shouldn't have taken them into the restroom with me.
51 - I like having these guys to control. I don't really like shooters very much, so it's nice to let my men do some of the dirty work for me.
52 - Nice set-up here, a vantage point allows me to command my men while staying mostly out of harms way and providing cover in the form of assault rifle fire and/or Molotovs. Too bad I didn't notice it until after I cleared the area. I'll keep an eye out in the future.
53 - The friendly AI is pretty good, they utilize cover pretty well.
54 - One of my men goes down! I can give him one of my medkits to revive him.
55 - Heh, if one of you men is in your way or gets stuck on you, he disappears and appears on the other side of you. A little jarring, but better than getting stuck!
56 - I rescue my brother from the baduns and he leads me to the Soviet flag to finish the mission.
57 - The stat screen tells me the number of enemies I killed, as well as my men. I'm much more accurate, but they are still really useful.
58 - Another Soviet newscast declares my a terrorist and proclaims the act of raising an American flag punishable by death.
60 - The hour ends with me back in the sewer base, which is now better furnished and in it resides my brother.
First Hour Summary
Minutes to Action: 3
Things I liked: Perfect pacing, great set pieces, giving squad commands is fun.
Things I Didn't like: The control scheme is a bit odd, the three primary buttons on the controller give commands, and I couldn't figure out how to duck for a long time. I don't really like the real-time inventory, I usually like to use my item-switching time to take stock of the situation.
Graphics: Stylized, a bit comic-booky. I like it.
Sound: Not much music, the guns sound good enough, the voice work is actually really good. The Soviet soldiers actually speak Russian to each other, which is rare in games. Between your character calling out commands (he has several possible phrases for each command), your men answering, and the Soviets yelling in Russian, all over the top of machine gun fire and explosions, it really sounds like a battle.
Story: Funny premise, told well. There were two cutscenes, but most of it was told by NPCs during the actual gameplay, which I like.
Environment Design: The set pieces allowed for some great battles, like a shootout in a parking garage and an office raid. The game was great at setting up battles that felt like a movie sequence, without being overly scripted. It wasn't too hard to figure out where you were going.
Fun: It was a blast. When I died, my first thought was "How can I do better," rather than "Why did I just die?"
Keep Playing? Definitely. This is a game I'll probably finish.
Overall Thoughts: Freedom Fighters has a great first hour. It was almost as if they were designing it that way on purpose. Not only do we get control a mere three minutes in, by five minutes we've already escaped the Soviets and rescued some prisoners, and ten minutes finds us hurling Molotov cocktails. Even better, it keeps up the pace, so that after fifty minutes of exciting combat we get our first taste of squad commands, and the last ten minutes lets us get just comfortable enough with it to keep us going. Endearing graphics, immersive sound design, and great environment design top off an interesting premise and solid gameplay to deliver an impressive first hour. Good job!
I've played a million games, and I've rocked them all.

Two more San Mateo cities ban plastic bags, Redwood City and East Palo Alto
The Daily Journal (San Mateo) Michelle Durand, 9/30/13. "Redwood City ready to ban plastic bags."
Goodbye....
"Starting Tuesday, Redwood City joins numerous other Peninsula cities in putting the kibosh on free single-use plastic and paper bags at most retail establishments. Unlike the 12 cities and county that launched the ban in April to coincide with Earth Day, Redwood City pushed off its start date until October to allow businesses and patrons more time to prepare for the change. On its heels, East Palo Alto’s ban takes effect Wednesday, Oct. 2.
The fee is meant to act as an incentive against purchasing bags and help businesses recoup any costs associated with the mandated record keeping of bag sales. The fee also covers the cost of retailers advertising and purchasing pricier paper bags for sale. Paper can run 8 cents to 15 cents each which is the main reasons businesses turned to the much cheaper plastic option, Peterson said.
The environmental impact report conducted prior to the vote concluded that an estimated 400 million single-use plastic bags are used annually in San Mateo County included approximately 42 million in Redwood City. Only a small percentage are recycled and the majority end up in landfills or as litter, according to the EIR.
All of the ordinances are modeled on the county’s template which was crafted after a lengthy environmental review process meant to head off any legal challenge. Prohibitions are already in place in San Mateo County and the cities of Burlingame, Daly City, Colma, Brisbane, South San Francisco, San Bruno, San Mateo, San Carlos, Pacifica, Portola Valley, Half Moon Bay, Foster City, Belmont and Menlo Park. Millbrae passed its own ordinance." Read article.
Related - San Mateo Mercury News/Peninsula/Bonnie Eslinger (Staff), 9/30/13. "Under the bans, modeled after a San Mateo County ordinance, customers can still get paper bags for at least 10 cents each. Plastic carryout bags are permitted as well, so long as their thickness is at least 2.25 mil, which is considered reusable. They too come with a dime charge. The ban applies to grocery and convenience stores, pharmacies and other shops, but not to restaurants. Plastic bags can still be used for produce, meats, bulk foods and prescription medicines."

America's Cup may return to San Francisco
San Francisco Chronicle/Tom FitzGerald, 9/27/13. "Oracle will rethink costs in future boat designs."
Oracle wins 34th America's Cup, with rights to choose
35th America's Cup challenge venue, conditions for 2016
"Larry Ellison has said he'd love to bring the America's Cup back to San Francisco if he and city officials can agree on the details. Another big question is how many teams will join Ellison's next party.
Ellison and Oracle Team USA chief executive Russell Coutts say they'll pay a lot more attention to design and construction costs for the 35th Cup. Using some one-design elements and possibly a smaller catamaran than this year's 72-foot giant - or even returning to monohulls - would help increase the challenger field from this year's lonely trio.
It's not known if Emirates Team New Zealand will be back. The Kiwis needed a $38 million stake from the New Zealand government in this campaign, and officials might not be as generous next time around despite the sailing zeal of their constituents." San Francisco Chronicle/Tom FitzGerald, 9/27/13. "Oracle will rethink costs in future boat designs."
"Reuters is reporting that Australian vintner Robert Oatley has challenged Larry Ellison for the America’s Cup. "Oatley, famous on land for his TIK TOK wines and on the water for a series of ocean racers named Wild Oats, reportedly delivered his challenge on behalf of the Hamilton Island Yacht Club in Queensland moments after Oracle Team USA won the Cup in a stunning come-from-behind victory on Sept. 25.
...."One reason Ellison may be hanging back on naming the new challenger of record is because he’s busy negotiating with another essential party: San Francisco. This year’s Cup, while a spectacular display of sailing speed and skill, was widely criticized as costing the city too much and failing to deliver the economic benefits Ellison and Oracle had promised. By delaying the announcement of the challenger and final regatta rules, Ellison may be buying time to negotiate a favorable agreement with San Fransisco under the threat of moving the event elsewhere.
Monohulls are considered
for the 35th America's Cup race
It will be interesting to see how Ellison — excuse me, the Challenger Of Record — modifies the rules for the next Cup. The wing-masted catamarans used this time were exciting to watch, but a handful to control since the rules prohibited the kinds of basic stability controls that are used on most foiling sailboats. The rudders had horizontal surfaces to help lift the seven-ton boats out of the water, but no way of controlling them, kind of like trying to fly an airplane with the horizontal stabilizer locked." Forbes/Daniel Fisher (Staff), 9/30/13. "America's Cup challenger will emerge soon, though the talks began long ago."
Related - USA Today/Sports, /Douglas Robson, 9/25/13. "Oracle pulls off stunning comeback in America's Cup." "SAN FRANCISCO – Now that Oracle Team USA has improbably retained the 34th America's Cup, what can Larry Ellison & Co. do for an encore? ....Trailing 8-1 a week ago, Oracle sailed away from Emirates Team New Zealand by 44 seconds on Wednesday to retain the Auld Mug, the oldest trophy in international sports, in a winner-take-all finale on San Francisco Bay. .... But in the oddity that is America's Cup, Oracle, the defender, gets to more or less call the shots for the next edition in three years. .... Ellison, one of the richest men in the world, indicated that he was inclined to remain in San Francisco in the next defense with some form of foiling multihulls that were able to reach speeds above 50 mph. But he did not want to go backwards in a regatta he said had "changed sailing forever." Reference - The Multihull Company, "Catamaran vs Monohull".

San Carlos smart parking pilot program from October 1 through December 31, 2013
Smart parking helps you find parking, and also helps the officer ticket you for overstay.
The Daily Journal/Staff, 9/28/13. "Smart parking pilot begins in San Carlos."
"Motorists in San Carlos thinking of overstaying their welcome in parking spaces can no longer look for tell-tale chalk marks to know if enforcement officers are ticking down their time.
Beginning Oct. 1, the city launches its “smart parking” pilot program which eliminates the need for officers to mark tires and instead lets them use a network of sensors embedded in the pavement. Once a vehicle is detected in the space, the system starts a time and alerts officers when the space remains occupied past the allowed limit. The officer will then go to the space, validate the violation and issue a citation.
.... The trial program begins Monday, Oct. 1 and is expected to run through December. Once finished, the city and Streetline will evaluate the effectiveness and come before the City Council in early 2014 to decide whether to continue in the future." Read more.
Related - Inhabitat.com/Green Transportation/Mark Boyer, 12/6/12. "New Parker Mobile App gives users real-time parking info." ... "About 135 sensors were planted in the pavement in downtown San Mateo, and 100 were embedded in San Carlos, sending a signal to Streetline’s free Parker mobile app when parking becomes available. The program can be used for street parking, parking lots and indoor garages. Using Cisco’s smart reuters and Wi-Fi mesh networks, the sensor data is aggregated and transmitted to the Streetline data center, which publishes the information on the Parker app. According to a press release, the data will soon be made available for general web browsers as well. Streetline has already deployed the app in at least 25 cities, but this is the company’s first partnership with Cisco. ..."

Half Moon Bay Highway 1 erosion is not going away
Half Moon Bay Review/Mark Noack, 9/27/13. "Erosion danger spurs call to protect highway."
"Fearing erosion could soon threaten Highway 1, San Mateo County officials are urgently pushing for an emergency plan to buffer the coastline near Surfer’s Beach in the coming weeks.
The potential of Highway 1 washing out is still an emergency
.... Any project to protect the highway could face considerable challenges. Surfer’s Beach has gained the reputation as a notoriously difficult stretch for planning projects due to a hodgepodge of agencies that share jurisdiction. The city of Half Moon Bay, the county and Caltrans each control portions of the roadside and would need to give approvals. The riprap project could also need clearances from the San Mateo County Harbor District, the California Coastal Commission, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

The construction of a breakwater to create the harbor in 1961 has exacerbated erosion rates by causing more sand to be deposited on the harbor side. Now only a thin strip of beach remains at Surfer’s Beach, limiting recreational uses of the beach, threatening habitat for the federally threatened western snowy plover, and eroding away the embankment of Highway 1".

Mick Ekers (Zappa's Gear website, ZappaCast) interview
Jakeobs
Post subject: Mick Ekers (Zappa's Gear website, ZappaCast) interview
As you well know by now, I am quite a big fan of the ZappaCast podcast (my favourite podcast) that you co-host with your fellow Zappa freaks Scott Parker and Andrew Greenaway. What were the circumstances that led you to become a part of it?
I got in touch with Andrew when he posted an item about my book on his Idiot Bastard website (almost before I’d told anyone about the project – that man has his ears to the ground!). I listened to the first ZappaCast episode and spoke to Scott via Facebook. Next thing I knew, I’d been invited to contribute a Zappa’s Gear spot. Shortly afterwards, I discovered that Andrew lives just 13 miles away from me, so we are both in the heart of the Thames delta in England. What are the chances of that? Scott and Andrew have both been incredibly supportive and helpful regarding the Zappa's Gear book. I'm very glad to be part of the team.
You've conducted painstakingly detailed research on Frank Zappa's guitars, amplifiers, effects pedals and other assorted studio equipment and, in addition to discussing it on the ZappaCast, you've posted it on your Zappa's Gear website. Discuss that.
Although I initially set up the site mainly to act as a promotional focus for the book, it soon became clear that some people would be interested in detailed technical information, photographs and interviews that would not fit into the book. As and when time permits, I’ll be posting more supplementary material of this type. I’m hoping that when the book is published, the website will continue as a repository for corrections and additional content as it comes to light.
What is it about Zappa's gear that made you decide to devote so much time and energy to research it and so thoroughly?
Frank Zappa was an unremitting innovator and experimenter, always looking at ways to exploit the latest advances in musical equipment. His working life coincided with the explosion in the development of music technology, which started in the 1960s and continued throughout the following three decades. Consequently, he ended up using a unique and fascinating range of guitars and other devices, many of which he had specially modified and customised (or "tweezed", as he put it) and often used in ways for which they hadn’t been designed. Although numerous books have been produced on the history of electric guitars and amplifiers, much of the gear that Frank Zappa used has received scant coverage. As a musician, self-confessed equipment geek and life-long Zappa fan, these were things that I wanted to know more about. In the end, the only solution was to write the book myself.
What is the current status of the Zappa's Gear book that you are working on?
The bulk of the research has been completed and much of the final text has been written. I expect the book to be published in August.
I know that Gail Zappa and the Zappa Family Trust literally and figuratively lord over Frank's legacy with an iron hand (for lack of better words). With regard to your Zappa's Gear website, how much of a challenge has that posed for you?
I knew that I would have to work with the ZFT for the Zappa’s Gear project to succeed. I first met Gail at the 2010 Roundhouse event in London, told her of my idea for the book and to my delight, her immediate reaction was "What a great idea!". I quickly sent Gail a couple of sample chapters and an outline of the book and she gave her support and approval for the book. I’ve just returned from Los Angeles where I was allowed to visit the Utility Muffin Research Kitchen and photograph FZ’s guitars and amps. Gail and her staff could not have been more helpful. I’ve always been careful to avoid any misuse of ZFT copyrighted material and am as committed as Gail that the final result will be worthy of the subject matter. So far, we have not hit any problems.
What are some of your favourite Zappa albums and/or songs and why?
That’s a hard question for someone who considers Frank’s best period was from the 1960s to the early 1990s. I’ll pick just two albums and two songs.
Roxy and Elsewhere – my favourite Zappa band in top form. For me, this is the perfect combination of humour, great tunes and astonishing musicianship. My jaw still drops whenever I listen to "Echidna’s Arf" and "Don’t You Ever Wash That Thing".
Lumpy Money - the best ZFT reissue, in my opinion. Worth it for the original version of Lumpy Gravy alone but filled with riches from two of Frank Zappa’s masterworks.
"You Are What You Is" - I just love this song, it always makes me happy. Ray White’s finest hour. And, to complement it, "Outside Now" (from Joe's Garage) - the electric sitar intro always gives me goose bumps. A heartbreakingly beautiful tune and Ike Willis’s finest hour.
Do you have a preference as far as what format that you most prefer to listen to Zappa's music? If so, what format and why?
I prefer vinyl but to be honest, I can hear little difference when listening to the CD version of an album as long as it has not been remixed or otherwise messed around with. I tend to notice more detail in my vinyl recordings but possibly only because I have a better turntable than CD player. A decent hi-fi system with a pair of good quality speakers that are large enough to let you feel the kick of the bass drum is most important.
I think that the whole MP3/tiny earphone experience is dreadful, like trying to appreciate fine art from a set of picture postcards. I feel very sad for those people for whom this is their normal listening experience. No wonder many people don’t perceive recorded music as being worth paying for.
You're a musician yourself. Besides Zappa, who are some of your influences as a musician and why?
Apart from Zappa, the records taking up the largest amount of space in my collection are jazz rock or fusion albums by Miles Davis, Soft Machine, Herbie Hancock, Weather Report and John McLaughlin. When I first started playing, I grew up aspiring to play this music and still spend a lot of time listening to it.
These days, a far greater direct influence would be the blues in it's various forms. This is what I tend to play for pleasure and which I see as the basis from which almost all modern music evolved. Far too many people to list spring to mind but my favourites include John Lee Hooker, Howling Wolf, Albert Collins and Johnnie Guitar Watson.
What are your thoughts and opinions of Frank's son Dweezil's Zappa Plays Zappa band?
I think that Dweezil is doing a terrific job with ZPZ and I am a huge fan of the band. From time to time, I see some very unwarranted criticism in the media or on the web, mostly from old Zappa "fans" who seem to be expecting to see some magical reincarnation on stage. They should probably just stay at home and listen to their records. The band keeps getting better and better. The forthcoming Front of House album will blow a lot of people away, it is one of the best live rock band recordings I have ever heard.
Dweezil is also a marvellous ambassador for his father’s music. Last year, after the Barbican concert in London, I watched him signing autographs for a seemingly endless queue of fans. Despite being obviously extremely tired from a busy touring schedule and the night’s performance, Dweezil kept smiling, shaking hands and courteously listening to the "I saw your dad back in..." stories. It really brought home to me the level of his commitment to bringing Frank’s music to a new generation of fans.

Speaking of Zappa's baton...
Whenever Zappa takes his guitar off, the music becomes much less exciting. Witness his musical performances on SNL in 1978. If that was my introduction to Zappa, I'd probably write him off as a bore.

Pair of new Frank Zappa books to be published later this year
By Scott Munro (Classic Rock) 9 days ago Classic Rock
https://www.loudersound.com/news/pair-of-new-frank-zappa-books-to-be-published-later-this-year
The Zappa Trust confirm that Zappa Gear and The Hot Rats Book will both be released before the end of the year
The Zappa Trust has revealed that two Frank Zappa books will be published later this year.
The first is titled Zappa Gear: The Unique Guitars, Amplifiers, Effects Units, Keyboards And Studio Equipment by Mick Ekers, which will also feature a foreword by Dweezil Zappa.
It’ll offer the reader “an unprecedented inside look at the machinery behind the legendary music. In addition to a detailed presentation of the equipment, Zappa Gear also introduces some of the pioneering inventors, engineers, and entrepreneurs without whom the instruments would not exist.”
Zappa Gear will also include illustrations and more than 180 pictures of Zappa’s guitars and equipment.
It’ll be released on November 15 through the Hal Leonard Corporation.
Then, on December 15, The Hot Rats Book by Bill Gubbins and Ahmet Zappa will launch through Backbeat Books to mark the 50th anniversary of Zappa’s Hot Rats album.
The commemorative book will feature previously unpublished photographs by Gubbins, who was the only photographer to document the record's studio sessions.
The book will also include an interview between Ahmet and Gubbins about the album and the last Mothers Of Invention US show, which took place on August 10, 1969, at Cleveland’s Musicarnival.
Ahmet says: “These books provide another way for fans to connect with Frank Zappa. They give a fascinating window into Frank's mind and the ideas he came up with throughout his career.”

2020 Anderson Trust exhibition opens
Mary-Jane Selwood
A NEW exhibition from the Anderson (Local Collection) Trust opens to the public in Helensburgh Library in West King Street on Saturday January 11.
The exhibition, which will remain open until June, encompasses two interests very close to the heart of its donor, Nance Anderson MBE: music and art.
A Guid New Year!
Very best wishes to all for a happy and healthy 2020 from Helensburgh Heritage Trust!
World War Two DVD shown
Stewart Noble
A DVD made by Helensburgh Heritage Trust in 2014 to record memories of local people who were living in the area During World War Two was shown at a well attended meeting of the University of the Third Age in the Helensburgh Parish Church large hall on Monday December 9.
The DVD was made jointly by Stewart Noble of the Trust and Robert Bell of West Highland Photography, and was funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund under its 'All Our Stories' programme.
Stewart introduced the showing, and said that Robert could supply copies of the DVD. It featured, among others, Dennis Royal, Michael Wilson, Cecilia Dunlop, Jenny Sanders, Gordon Burgess, Willie Lamond and Bobby Brodie.
Rosneath's Princess, HRH Princess Louise
HER Royal Highness Princess Louise, daughter of Queen Victoria, had a huge impact on Helensburgh and Garelochside, where she lived in Rosneath Castle and loved the beauty and quietness of the Gareloch.
The area provided a haven for her in her later years after a fascinating and busy earlier life inevitable for a daughter of Britain’s longest serving monarch from 1837-1901.
Burgh's Prime Minister, Andrew Bonar Law
HELENSBURGH has always prided itself that a Prime Minister came from the burgh, despite the fact that he is known as “The Unknown Prime Minister”.
A Conservative, the Rt Hon Andrew Bonar Law MP occupied 10 Downing Street for just 209 days in 1922-23, succeeding the much better known Liberal, David Lloyd George, who had served from 1916-22.
Victoria Cross hero, Colonel George Findlay
A HELENSBURGH man who served as a County Councillor for 23 years was a First World War hero who won the Victoria Cross, the top award for gallantry in the face of the enemy.
Colonel George de Cardonnel Elmsall Findlay was born on August 20 1889 in Cardross and died suddenly at his burgh home, Drumfork House, on June 26 1967 at the age of 77.
Travelling circuses came to burgh
Donald Fullarton and Alistair McIntyre
MANY a long-time Helensburgh resident will remember elephants parading along East Princes Street . . . an unusual spectacle heralding the arrival in the burgh of a circus.
The travelling circus had an association with Helensburgh going back over many years, and quite a number of the most prominent of them visited the town.
Childrens doctor famous worldwide
A PROMINENT Helensburgh man who died on January 21 1918 at the age of 94 was one of the world’s most famous children’s doctors.
Professor Gavin Arneil, who had a home in the district for nearly 60 years, had a huge impact on child health in Glasgow and the West of Scotland, earning many honours, and his advice was sought by fellow paediatricians in countries far and wide.
Religious Heritage exhibition
A Religious Heritage Exhibition set up by Helensburgh Heritage Trust is on show in the main hall of the Helensburgh and Lomond Civic Centre in East Clyde Street.
It was organised by Trust director Nigel Allan and will be on display until March.
History of local golf courses
THE HISTORY of the golf courses in Helensburgh and district was to the fore at the November open meeting of Helensburgh Heritage Trust on Wednesday evening.
The speaker at the third meeting of the winter series in Helensburgh and Lomond Civic Centre in East Clyde Street was the Trust’s chairman, keen golfer the Rev David Clark.
Origins of burgh street names
THE STREET names in Helensburgh have origins which come from a diverse list of sources.
Sandy Kerr revealed some of the sources when he was the speaker at Helensburgh Heritage Trust’s second open meeting of the winter season in Helensburgh and Lomond Civic Centre on Wednesday October 30.

The fox and the cranium
Marisa Wexler
Science Writing and Communications Intern, Genetics Society of America.

Although foxes look cuddly, these wild animals are equipped with sharp bites—and temperaments to match. Fear not, however, if you’re dying to get close to theses fluffy foxes: a nearly 60-year-old experiment has produced a line of them that are friendly enough to pet.
The process of creating these tame foxes mirrors the way dogs are thought to have been domesticated from their wild wolf ancestors. These friendly foxes have altered hormone balances, and many of them have dog-like changes in appearance, such as white spotting and curled tails. In a report published in G3: Genes|Genomes|Genetics, Hekman et al. delve into the genetics of these tame foxes, taking a detailed look at their brains.
The tame foxes are the result of a famous experiment started at the Institute of Cytology and Genetics in Siberia, in which the animals were selectively bred for traits like agreeability. For comparison, a line of more aggressive foxes was also bred so that differences between the two groups could illuminate the usually slow processes of domestication.
Levels of the stress hormone cortisol are much lower in the blood of tame foxes than in the aggressive animals. “The question that was really driving me was: What’s different in the brain?” says Jessica Hekman, lead author of the study.
Hekman and her colleagues used RNA sequencing to measure gene expression in the pituitary glands of tame and aggressive foxes. They were interested in the pituitary because it is vital in coordinating the release of many hormones—including cortisol.
The researchers found that genes related to exocytosis were differentially expressed, which suggests the cells could be secreting neurotransmitters and hormones to the blood differently in the two lines. Given the differing levels of blood cortisol observed, this wasn’t all that surprising.
Some other differentially expressed genes were more unexpected, however. “I kept finding a bunch of genes related to pseudopodia, which was a huge surprise,” Hekman recalls. Pseudopodia are cellular protrusions best known for driving movement in single-celled organisms—think of how an amoeba moves by extending its cellular membrane. Cells in the brain aren’t mobile in the same sense, but pituitary cells use pseudopodia to coordinate with each other and move closer to blood vessels for hormone release. This study suggests that pseudopodia function differently in the pituitary glands of tame foxes than in aggressive ones. Hekman explains that this makes a lot of sense because tame and aggressive foxes actually produce similar amounts of hormones in the pituitary gland—the critical difference is in the amount that is released into the bloodstream.
Hekman is optimistic that a better understanding of these differences in foxes might reveal more about what’s going on in aggressive pets. A better understanding of the biological underpinnings of aggression could even have implications for the development of behavioral medication in the future. “It’s a correlational study; it’s a first step,” says Hekman, “The next step is to get living cells and put them through functional tests.” Though the study is an early investigation, it opens doors for future work that might point toward a pill for your pugnacious pup.

Alain Juppé. “Sarkozy has the advantage, I for now I have the opinion” – Ouest-France
He also addressed criticism thinly veiled Nicolas Sarkozy following the founding congress of the Party of Republicans (former UMP).
The whistles and boos that accompanied the former prime minister and to a lesser extent Francois Fillon on arrival at the podium in Paris on Saturday had damaged the image of unity that Nicolas wanted to return the party Sarkozy still marked by a war of fratricide leaders.
“Hysterical among militants”
“The militancy has its virtues, he also its risks: the risk of sectarianism, the risk of rejection of the other, the risk of imprisonment is a strong risk “ said Alain Juppe in issuing the” Great appointments Europe 1- iTELE-The World. ” “There are always some hysteria among activists. “
The former Prime Minister, who made the most serious rival figure of Nicolas Sarkozy for the presidential nomination right, had been heckled in February at the National Council of the UMP when he advocated union with the Centre. “I am not alone in this party that we must open up” , has he said Sunday. “The DNA of the UMP, it is the union of the right and center, I did not observe that the Republicans had given up DNA. If that were the case, I think it would be quite dangerous for the future “.
” I organize my small business “
In a thinly veiled reference to President Nicolas Sarkozy of Republicans, who denounced in particular “the terrifying spectacle of the family drama of Le Pen and the terrifying mediocrity of those who govern us” ( ), the mayor of Bordeaux has questioned the “tone of some discourse” which they felt was “somewhat strong, somewhat excessive” .
Reinforced by several polls that give the winner against Nicolas Sarkozy during the primary in November 2016 will nominate the candidate of the right and center at the 2017 election, Alain Juppe put forward its weight in the opinion. “Nicolas Sarkozy has left, I for now I have the opinion” , has he said. “I organize my small SMEs, sometimes it happens that performing SMEs are more effective than large CAC 40 companies” .

When Nicolas Sarkozy and Alain Juppé engage in a war … – Challenges.fr
The image, again, will remain printed Alain Juppe is preparing to speak at the congress of the new party to which he belongs – Republicans – and the many activists boo. He replied, not without irony, he likes the militants, including those who are chasing their vengeance, they are “family”. Whatever, shouts and whistles echo the first passages of his speech. At the foot of the tribune, Nicolas Sarkozy does not outline any appeasement movement, not a sign, not a gesture, not an indication of appeasement towards his supporters, because they are his, who attack the mayor of Bordeaux. It is frozen and will remain frozen. Further proof – but it is only useful? – That a political war to death is now officially declared between the former president and his former foreign minister. It is no longer analysis, attitudes or postures that may be common to them. Nicolas Sarkozy and Alain Juppe will now shine on everything and as soon as possible.
1. ATTITUDE TOWARDS THE NETHERLANDS, THE GOVERNMENT AND THE LEFT
Sarkozy deliberately chose permanent aggression, denunciation to slander, insult and personal attack if deems it necessary. Thus the Socialists and their leader would they have excluded themselves from the Republican camp. Why? According to the president of RS, they would have betrayed the Republic, repudiated its cardinal principles, abandoned our national and collective corpus. Holland, Valls, Bartolone, Le Drian, Fir or Macron, a-Republicans, not Republicans, anti-republican? This is what Nicolas Sarkozy now intends drumming every day for the French to regain lost popularity except in the heart of the militant right.
Juppé refuses this travesty of democratic dialogue. Right? Obviously. In opposition? Without any restraint. Convinced also that François Hollande was mistaken as to the economic policy to drive? That goes without saying. The mayor of Bordeaux bears not only his “moderation” but it meant at any price to play the game of exaggeration, denunciation or even slander. The frontal combat against the left, yes; caricature, no. By following these principles, Alain Juppe is confident of conquering the central axis of French society, a first majority in the primary of the right and center, a second majority at the second round of the presidential election.
Sarkozy is convinced, of course, that his rival wanders, that the French expect a straight right, a hard right and virulent defiance Marine Le Pen on his land, its themes and theses.
Juppé-Sarkozy, Sarkozy-Juppé, one of the two errs, by definition.
2. SECULARITY WHAT?
Nicolas Sarkozy, once fascinated by communitarianism to the Anglo-Saxon hard fan of the priest, pastor, rabbi or imam by definition superior to teacher and the teacher – not old, it dates back less than ten years – has made a complete rotation of ideological top. He now advocates an ultra design, closed, lay-laïcarde of secularism, a design that, you must know, has never prevailed in the French model is pragmatism, adaptation of donations granted piecemeal. That Jewish students in public education skipped school, lessons and homework on Yom Kippur has never aroused the slightest protest. This was so, and it was well well. More question, according to Nicolas Sarkozy, to compromise. Secularism, secularism all, no accommodation, even cause a series of unnecessary clashes. To complete his demonstration, the former head of state recalled the last weekend that was hostile to alternative school meals, so pork for everyone.
Alain Juppé at the head of a big city, knows that such a radical posture will cause repeated fractures in French society, as hundreds of thousands of children will be placed cantilevered in contradiction, their family of one side, teachers from the other. Remain faithful to the primordial foundation of secularism, obviously, but without wishing to humiliation. Juppé knows that by insisting much and as hard on the theme of secularism, Sarkozy has the will to radicalize the political confrontation, especially about the place of Islam in France. It will replicate with measure; it will suggest nuanced solutions. The extent and grade will they have their place in the next presidential confrontation? Nothing is less obvious.
3. THE TRAP OF PRIMARY
Now Nicolas Sarkozy more control than ever the party, a “new” organization. LR will be at his boot, RS will be built to be made available. That’s why Alain Juppe, immediately after the founding congress, considered it essential to return to the primary, its conception, organization. A primary right and center …; a primary where can express the millions of French, so open, truly open, not only to the activists and supporters of LR. However, Alain Juppe, and he made it clear this weekend, has little confidence in a primary qu’organiserait that bidouillerait rather the Sarkozy clan installed by force of circumstances to the direction of LR. Therefore Juppé demands guarantees of honesty and transparency. Therefore Juppe suggested that, otherwise it will dry primary to stand directly in the first round of presidential elections – which would be suicide for the Republican right, but too bad
The conference is. past. Vive policy and its charms among Republicans!
Republicans launch the battle of alternation – Le Figaro
Reinforced by the congress of the new party, Nicolas Sarkozy is preparing a reshuffle of management teams and ambition displayed as a “Republic of confidence.”
” This day is a day of rebirth …, “commented Nicolas Sarkozy at the end of the Congress of Republicans. A renaissance to forget the mistakes of a party felled by the scandal of Bygmalion case and the 2012 crisis A renaissance for the reconquest of power in 2017 he has assumed by strongly denouncing the government and proposing to rebuild in the country confidence in politics that no longer exists, “in any part of society.” But a still fragile revival, despite its recent electoral victories.
In this Saturday spring, Congress of Republicans still showed yesterday a convalescent movement. The room was not as packed as expected. “We could have had more people, but it was a Saturday, and everyone paid cash its place,” observes a close Sarkozy, about 10 000 to 12 000 people present – 17,000 according to organizers . “We look forward to hearing the crowd in Poitiers PS Congress next week,” said one adviser Nicolas Sarkozy already glad of mobilization.
Without a doubt, the launch of the Republicans will was less spectacular than Sarkozy’s enthronement congress president of the UMP in November 2004. It was then celebrated in Sarkozy providential man. This time, the Congress was supposed to be that of a collective. Participants are loaned to exercise for five hours in the floating attention of a very marked right room, which has cheered the speech of a particularly pugnacious Laurent Wauquiez in the stigmatization of “foreigners”. François Fillon, freshly greeted by whistles, has “managed to return the room”, recognizes a relative of Sarkozy, “but Juppé left her indifferent,” and made a speech “shifted, as if before a school trade “.
” Sectarianism, it’s not us “
boos, considered an inevitable by folklore entourage of Nicolas Sarkozy, have nevertheless clearly shown that the staging image and unity for which the former head of the state tirelessly since his election as head of the party will be more and more difficult to hold, as its own militants seem determined not to play the game. On Saturday, it’s not on stage, but in the room we felt rising competition which announce very rough for the primary in November 2016 . The exasperation of Nicolas Sarkozy with regard to Nathalie Kosciusko-Morizet already indicates that the organizational transition that had been set there six months will probably not be left as is. On the plateau of France 2 on Sunday night, the boss of the Republicans, “regretted the few whistles” and he stressed his determination not to “play the game of the division” before entering the primary campaign after the summer 2016. With the re-founding of the new party, we have “laid the foundations of alternating tomorrow,” he added.
The exasperation of Nicolas Sarkozy with regard to NKM already indicates that the organizational transition will probably not be left as it is
The speech of Nicolas Sarkozy nevertheless set an ambitious goal, that of a “Republic of confidence.” “When trust is lacking, everything collapses, and we are not so far from the collapse,” he insisted. “This distrust should challenge us, we must be careful in what we promise tomorrow to be sure that we will hold tomorrow,” he admitted, aware that she is also for him, who has been in power Supreme over five years. “The Republic of confidence, it’s a nice slogan, but that confidence will not come back if they promise too much. At over-promise, it creates distrust, “warns Hervé Mariton, recalling that Nicolas Sarkozy’s slogan in 2007 was” Everything is possible “.
The new head of the Republicans has also used to play its role as opponent. “He was elected head of the party to cleave, not to be consensual,” warns one of his advisers, who remembers “what was said on the Socialist Party Nicolas Sarkozy when he was in power.” The former head of state said little about the National Front and many left. But he would not take the tone of humor to denigrate. He has appointed Francois Hollande once, and he also denounced “the terrifying mediocrity.”
In this systematic indictment, Sarkozy spoke out against the “socialist pretension to a monopoly of the Republic. ” “Sectarianism, not us!”, He has proclaimed, referring also to judicial cases against him and stating that in “the Republic is not trying to win in the courts that we lost to the people! “. And finally, the man of the day, to be reconciled to everyone, has been Éric Woerth, who has had a number ovations after being shut in the Bettencourt affair.

A man drunk killed a 22 year old woman and injured three people, including two seriously, before being overpowered and arrested by police.

Equipped with an automatic gun with a caliber 9 mm acquired unlawfully and whose port No individual, he opened fire, killing a young woman of 22 and wounding three others.
Already convicted, including for illegal firearms, the alleged gunman could seek revenge after an “altercation amid Alcohol”, for a seemingly “trivial” cause, said Sunday Attorney Metz, Christian Mercuri.
In addition to the young woman of 22, died after being hit by several bullets, the brother of the victim, 25 year old, and a young man of 18 years were in very serious condition, one shot in the head and one in the abdomen. Their days were still at risk Sunday afternoon, said Mr. Mercuri. In total, fifteen casings were found in five different crime scenes by investigators.
Shots taken for firecrackers
“At first, we all thought they were firecrackers, and then I saw a gunman firing at everybody, “said Dylan, 20, an employee of a maintenance company. “I did not meet the eyes of the shooter to risk taking a bullet,” says Louisa, 43, who was returning home with the younger of her two children when she heard the shots. From her window, she then saw the help that were busy trying to revive the young woman of 22 years in vain
By the time we tried to revive her with blows of cardiac massage, d. Other shots were heard within a radius of 500 meters and the police threw the heels of the shooter.
Mastered taser
Spotted by an equipped patrol taser guns to electrical impulses, the alleged gunman was neutralized by the time he was going to “take perhaps another victim,” said an investigator. “If he had time, he would undoubtedly have opened fire” on the police, the gun is still loaded and ready to fire, according to Police Commissioner of Public Safety Moselle, Olivier Saudreau. There were other reserve ammunition in his pockets.
“The attacker took enormous risks” by setting plays the police, noticed the senator and mayor of Woippy, François Grosdidier (Republicans ) while praising the “great professionalism” of law enforcement. The prosecutor praised their “exceptional coolness” that allowed to avoid further burdening the terrible toll of the tragedy.
Placed in custody, the alleged gunman was to be brought before a judge Monday instruction for an indictment, probably to murder and attempted murder if the investigation helps retain premeditation of acting out. The man had been sentenced to five years’ imprisonment, suspended for some sexual assault and violence and offense against legislation on arms.
Sarkozy, Juppé, 2017 … Things to Remember in charge of weekend … – Challenges.fr
Exit the UMP . The new party led by Nicolas Sarkozy is now called, according to the wish of the former head of state, “Republicans”, a name approved by more than 83% of members, which, however, less than half have expressed during the internet voting held Thursday and Friday. Nicolas Sarkozy gathered his troops Saturday, May 30 Porte de la Villette in Paris to rebuild the party qu”il chairs, crucial step in his reconquest of power strategy in 2017.

But it was not without first pounded those who tried to deprive him of the name.
Mediocrity Holland
He even speak of ” the terrifying mediocrity “of President Francois Hollande. “By what right and? Above all, who could refuse us the name of Republicans,” railed Nicolas Sarkozy, speaking after 3:00 p.m., after a succession of speeches in Paris frugal decor Event Center, a sheet metal rectangle the stifling atmosphere quickly.
An allusion to judicial proceedings in various quarters against a “privatization” of the republican idea. “To those who accuse us of confiscating the Republic, we respond that, if they had not betrayed her, if they had not abandoned, if they had not lowered, we would not have need today to face, “he told the president of the opposition party.
A vocabulary that is not to the liking of everyone. Former Prime Minister Alain Juppe, candidate for the primary right to the presidential election of 2017, said Sunday the Grand appointments Europe 1 / iTELE / Le Monde that he would not use the same “excessive vocabulary” that “attack people.” “ I said I was an open man on the right and not sectarian. A vocabulary is a bit up the heat, which attacks the people, it’s not my kind of beauty.”
This was again wiped hearty boos Saturday. The mayor of Bordeaux said – unusual in a political forum – that it “was her pain,” without undermining its “determination”. For the final family photo, the former Prime Minister had set back. Nicolas Sarkozy sent a fraternal look for side by side. Returning to the Sunday incident, Alain Juppe said: “I know the activists (…) The militancy has its virtues It also has its risks, the risk of sectarianism, the risk of refusal of.. other. The risk of incarceration is high risk. He still has it in some hysterical activists. “
Whistles for Fillon and Juppé
François Fillon, another candidate for the primary, also suffered whistles. Nathalie Kosciusko-Morizet, the number two of the former UMP, denounced the fact that Alain Juppe Sunday and François Fillon had suffered jeers founder Republican Congress, seeing it as “more than a quack” and saying that “it should not be that the Republicans “. “I hate that! (…) For me, that’s the resurgence of the old party. It should not be that the Republicans!”, She said on France 3. “The primary is the end of it. You can whistle all you want, from the time when there is a primary, it is the French who will decide,” insisted the former Minister Nicolas Sarkozy . “It’s more a quack, I is not what I like in politics. It is especially a shame,” she has said.
Some presidential stables greet their champion in the heat, as Bruno Le Maire, wreathed in its fight against the reform of college – theme that obsessed delegates – but the audience was Sarkozy devil. “The primary, that is another thing, the games are very open, it will be tight” in “this very room Sarkozy”, analyzed the juppéiste Benoist Appeared.
2017 was on everyone’s mind but the first target of Republicans is clearly the December election with no region out of range, according to leader of the Ile-de-France, Valérie Pécresse
READ.: key Congressional statements
If none of the candidates declared or in ambush for the primary wants to risk yet to break the unit that has been working since his election Nicolas Sarkozy to chair a bruised left by business and fights, all refuse to see in this day enthronement of a candidate Sarkozy.

Juppe and Fillon booed by militants
The tone was set at the founding congress, Saturday, May 30, when Alain Juppé and Francois Fillon are booed and whistled. The meeting of militants, largely supporting the cause of Nicolas Sarkozy, apparently still tolerates the two former Prime Ministers are candidate for the primary right.

The former head of state, the great organizer of the sequence, has offered a forty-five minutes speech on the Republic but also against the left François Hollande and his “terrible mediocrity.”
“A vocabulary that is a little too up the heat, which attacks the people, it’s not my kind of beauty,” responded Alain Juppe Sunday , opposing its “consistent goal” to the “division of objectives” of the French who would be those of Nicolas Sarkozy.
Most importantly, Mr. Juppé but François Fillon, former prime minister like him have suffered boos and whistles among the estimated 10,000 attendees Porte de la Villette. Proof that the presidential competition will be tough despite this show of unity.

Fillon and Juppé met with boos – Le Figaro
VIDEO – On the occasion of the founding congress of the party “The Republicans” who stood up to the Villette, both former prime ministers have faced a hostile reception, and upon arrival on the premises.
The first mission of the day was both very simple and very delicate. When launching its new collection, Nicolas Sarkozy had at heart avoid false note. Nothing must disturb the first congress of the Republicans and especially not the perspective of the primary in 2016, for which everyone prepares.
All morning, however, the tension was palpable Porte de la Villette. At their arrival, Francois Fillon and Alain Juppe were able to measure themselves that they were not unanimous among militants. Some quickly repressed jests even welcomed the entry of the mayor of Bordeaux in the great hall of the congress. But the attention of most militants then turned to the forum, at breakneck speed, the speakers succeeded. The tone was set.
In the early afternoon, François Fillon suffered the first whistles at the podium, when his name was announced. Even at the height of the war that was opposed to Jean-Francois Cope for nearly two years, never a national meeting of the UMP had experienced such an episode. The former prime minister, accusing the blow, is located behind the desk, visibly affected. He has not changed a line from his very speech written, as usual.
“It is not allowed to disappoint”
“We decided to call our” Republicans “: this choice requires us more than any other because when we take the Republic as standard it is not allowed to disappoint,” said the candidate the primary. “Some people think that we will convince the French taking all turns squeezing to the right, others driving in the middle of the road, not to mention the demagogues who say you can let go of the steering wheel and looking back, has he ridiculed then. I do not want to cut the slices in France, I take it as a block, with love, with the conviction that we must reinvent all to hope, propose and act. “
Encouraged by some bursts of applause, the former prime minister did not fail to specify what he expects from his new party. “If the Republicans were a campaign machine, an army barracks where adherents come to look for orders; if we were not the family where the fraternal debate on each floor; if we were only conflicts and invective against those who think and act differently; if we were not the interpreter of all French sensibilities while the Republic is not in us, “he assured.
A few minutes after being booed, Fillon could not be clearer. “Our Congress can not be a ripolinage the past, but must be a new start,” he further stated. And, a sign that its determination remains intact from the perspective of 2017, Fillon also stressed that “to read the polls, everyone seems capable of returning to normality Francois Hollande.” “But the central question that must be answered: What is it,” he launched before leaving the podium, this time the applause
” Some of you hiss me. Some … Çela makes me sad but it does not change my determination, because you are my family! “
A few minutes later, Alain Juppe, in turn, suffered the wrath of much of the room. The mayor of Bordeaux began his speech without waiting for calm returns. “I’ll tell you a secret, he explained. Some of you hiss me. Some … Çela makes me sad but it does not change my determination, because you are my family! “The” confidence “, hammered, is enough to restore calm. The former prime minister then explained that the alternation will be possible only on two conditions: “collect and gather around a project.” “It does not make good choices in the division,” he says. Addressing beyond the few thousand militants, “the French and the French who are listening,” he called for “a happy and ambitious nation.” The mayor of Bordeaux took the podium to develop again its happy identity project for France and “living together”. “I would suggest to French and French to the nation of the XXI century, not that of nostalgia, but of harmony.” Despite all his efforts, Alain Juppe is however really applauded when he mentions that “the one who allowed the gathering “of the day. Immediately, the room begins to chant “Nicolas, Nicolas”. At the forum, the former Prime Minister barely spoke again. “Wait, it happens,” he says before assuming “you can, my dear Nicolas, count on my support in the task is yours for the presidency of the Republicans.” The room was white-hot. Nicolas Sarkozy could move on stage.
“We are fortunate to belong to a political family that counts among its ranks a statesman like Alain Juppé. This is wealth, “says the former president as an introduction. Then he takes the time to cite Francois Fillon, Bruno Le Maire, Jean-Pierre Raffarin, Nathalie Kosciusko-Morizet, Laurent Wauquiez, like so many “opportunities” for his party. This time, each name will be welcomed by large applause.
Motorist killed in Paris: required detention against the police … – TF1
After nearly 48 hours of police custody, he will be brought. The police officer suspected of killing a man at Paris drunken state will be presented Saturday at a magistrate for his indictment. This presentation will be part of a criminal investigation for manslaughter aggravated by the breach to a duty of care (the traffic) and alcoholic state.
Based in PJ of Seine-Saint-Denis, the chief sergeant of 39 years which was not in use, returning from an evening nuite box at speed. It does not stop at the red light not according to the first elements of the investigation, when it struck the van driven by a deliverer 40, to 4:15, Boulevard de Sebastopol. Ejected from his vehicle under the violence of the shock, B. Yazid died shortly after. He was the father of three children aged 7, 9 and 11 years.
The policeman, who was driving an unmarked car without being in service, had a blood alcohol level of 2.13 grams of alcohol per liter of blood, more than four times the authorized rate (0.5 grams) and nearly three times that at which driving while intoxicated is a crime (0.8 grams).

“The call of May 29,” or the Valmy Nicolas Sarkozy – Liberation
Let’s call the “Call of May 29″ since it is undeniable, something its glorious elder on June 18
The same simplicity, the same drama that will escape the sincere patriots. We believe it printed on a slightly yellowed paper, in a context of tricolor beautifully. No fuss, no fancy typography is rustic, like that of a clandestine printing
In this address very fat, very simple but so strong that we discover this Saturday on our virtual walls. “Calling all Republicans of France.”
And, finally, the “Unite” exclamatory that irresistibly evokes the manifesto of Karl Marx. Note the striking similarity between the energetic signatures of General de Gaulle and Nicolas Sarkozy.
This is because the situation is serious and the country in great danger. It took at least that to announce this important event: a new party will be born in France. Not a party but a force, a movement as the country has ever known.
How not to think that other call, the call of the convention calling on all French to save the Republic. For reading this text flirting dangerously with the ridiculous, it is a new “mass uprising” that they are causing. This Saturday, the Villette will be the Valmy Nicolas Sarkozy. Remember, more prosaically, that this battle will be won if the party manages by 2017 to double the number of its members to date of contribution.
Who are all these “Republicans in France” called to to get up? Adherents of the refounded UMP, the party must be called Republicans (LR)? They are, explains Sarkozy, much more than that: they are “all who love the French Republic, the miracle by which so many men in the world who have fallen asleep subjects woke citizens” . We see that this is still a lot of people!
Further, the text becomes a little more explicit. The call is aimed more specifically at “those who suffer to see the Republic back every day,” “those who always choose the openness to the universal against the ‘communitarian confinement “. On this subject, Sarkozy was very clear. For him, the fall of the Republic begins where meals substitutions are served in school canteens.
The Republican is also the one who refuses to give to others the control over their own destiny. Suffice to say that for Sarkozy, Schengen is frankly not Republican
And then he will not “abandon war origins and memories”, “sense of destiny common. ” The Republican is not at all favorable to the history of the college programs, those who speak too of colonialism and slavery. It is not ready to accept a legalization of GPA, because he thinks that “the human person is not a commodity to be bought and sold.”
In summary, these Republicans were then perhaps “awakened citizen.” They will lie, for sure, ample sarkozystes.
A day to turn the UMP into “Republicans” – Le Monde
Le Monde | 05/30/2015 at 06h39 • Updated 05/30/2015 11:00 | By Matthew Goar
They will converge from all over France for attend a funeral and a birth. Approximately 20,000 activists and UMP executives are expected, Saturday, May 30, from 10 am at Paris Event Center (19 th arrondissement of Paris) to participate in the rebuilding of the main party congress of the French right. During the day, the party leaders and activists turn to the thirteen UMP page to start Republicans, a new party designed by Nicolas Sarkozy to win back the Elysee. But behind the beautiful collection of festive image, also play a ball of ego between primary contenders for the November 2016

How will unfold this congress?
The UMP debt 69.3 million had to do with the means at hand. Gone are the days of high masses as at Le Bourget in 2004, when Nicolas Sarkozy was inaugurated as President of the UMP in an American show. Also ended costly splendours and pasta with truffles some meetings of the 2012 presidential election, a period when Bygmalion managed logistics and juggling the bills.
This time modesty is displayed. For this Congress, the Treasurer Daniel Fasquelle communicates a budget of 550,000 euros, away from 6 million to 8 million euros Bourget. Activists have to pay their travel, food, and they will be called upon to direct the crowd or provide security. Some will attend the convention of a tent outside, as the UMP did not have enough money to rent a larger room
Read also:. A congress UMP submitted the wagon
On this day, the UMP will celebrate the vote results released Friday night. After two days of electronic consultation, 83,28% of activists in favor of the new name The Republican. 96.34% of them have validated the future status of the new training and 94.77% approved the list of the political bureau. A triumph? Not quite because participation was skinny (97,440 voters or 45.74% of members to date of contribution). But Nicolas Sarkozy can enjoy.
This vote had been imposed on him by supporters of Alain Juppé to Nicolas Sarkozy, which would be fine. In polls, supporters of right seemed rather reluctant to this change of surname, but the body of the militant UMP traditionally royalist, has allowed the former head of state to complete his work.
The day will be organized in nine thematic sequences. Fifty personalities will speak. Nicolas Sarkozy wanted to stage the “descent” between the RPR, UMP and Republicans, and former glories as Bernadette Chirac, could occur between two clips on the history of the movement and of the Republic. Angela Merkel sent a video message, and personalities, such as navigator Maud Fontenoy and the former tennis player Marion Bartoli, will be involved. Nothing but classic.
What’s the issue of the day?
For the former President of the Republic it is the party enact transformation, one of his campaign promises of autumn 2014. But Nicolas Sarkozy is already dreaming of unit images around him. This conference will allow him to show a little more like the central character of his political family. A political asset for the future. The former head of state put on the party to unite around him hundreds of thousands of activists, a solid foundation to address the first round of the primer in November 2016.
His new training Republicans, is a machine that should allow it to regain the Elysee. “With this convention, it creates the event around it. It requires the media and his opponents to articulate their schedule according to what he has set up “, an analysis of his supporters Rue Vaugirard.
The former president of the Republic had nevertheless regained the UMP obligation. Surrounded by business, he needed to protect themselves and especially not to leave the device to an opponent like Alain Juppé. Since then he has portrayed as a savior and unifier of a family that was torn after his retirement during the confrontation between Jean-François Copé and François Fillon.
The year 2015, with elections in favor of the UMP, Mr Sarkozy allows to reinforce this image. Candidates for primary can only join the rally in order not to appear as dividers. In resigning himself to count the days until the beginning of 2016 … “This is a coronation, enthronement quips near Alain Juppé. But for us, there will not be a before and an after. The place of our calendar continues without distort the purpose. “
What are the speeches of monitor?
Nicolas Sarkozy will close the debates between 3 p.m. and 16 hours. Since November 7, 2014 at the Porte de Versailles, at a rally where he had made a very long speech, the former head of state should pose as herald of a republic that would be threatened by sectarian weakened by intermediate body and perverted by the so-called socialist egalitarianism instilled, for example with the college reform.
Alain Juppe is expected to speak just before Mr Sarkozy. For the mayor of Bordeaux, declared candidate for the primary, exercise is subtle. It must mark its difference without rushing sarkozystes militants. When the UMP national council on February 7, the mayor of Bordeaux had been whistled by many executives when he raised the necessary alliance with the center. “If Juppe is whistling, the fault would be on the side of Nicolas Sarkozy, who has not managed the gathering and unity of his family” , predicts Gilles Boyer, political advisor to the Mayor Bordeaux.
All other tenors will occur at the end of each thematic sequence. Bruno Le Maire, who has long pondered his speech should be the defender of debate within his own family. “Each candidate will defend its own vision and its method of government. Primary is a great appointment democratic: it will give us an opportunity to finally decide questions that we have put under the carpet for years, “ told the World the likely candidate for the primary

Fillon Juppé, Mayor … Who will break the mood of the Congress of … – The Express
“The Republicans” have been called “The Gathering” but Nicolas Sarkozy has chosen the first option. Nevertheless, the president of the UMP expects his friends they are all gathered this Saturday. The unit primarily to celebrate the birth of his party the next century. No no side, no escape.
Nicolas Sarkozy has ensured that this founding congress does not give the image of a coronation. The Barnum deployed at Paris in November 2004 remained in archival boxes. The president of the UMP has promised to play modest. He did not take the stage after a triumphant entrance in the middle of the crowd. He listens carefully to his predecessors in the Tribune, Bruno Le Maire, Francois Fillon and Alain Juppé.
The Mayor not there “to sing the praises of the chef”
At eighteen months of the primary, its competitors also will they play the game? “We do not seek the clash” immediately evacuate Jerome Grand Esnon strategist Bruno Le Maire. The deputy from Eure planned a speech unsurprisingly, far from political considerations “to get high”. His entourage, however, that the candidate not yet declared to the primary draw the outline of a possible program for 2016 around the notions of “renewal” and “profound changes”. “We are not here to sing the praises of the party leader”, asserts a lemairiste.
Fillon and “the fiery spirit of the gathering”
In contrast to a Bruno Le Maire on the rise, François Fillon him returned to court Thursday to testify in the case against Jean-Pierre Jouyet and two journalists from the World . A he asked the secretary general of the Elysee to “break the front legs” of Nicolas Sarkozy? The defense could not prove it with certainty. 48 hours later, the former prime minister still take the stage with the label of “traitor” that 20,000 activists expected this Saturday will be happy to stick him in the back. Do not bother to distance the president of the UMP. The speech of François Fillon will be a “call to courage, responsibility and firmness. Spread the message to say that with France decided and renovated, everything is possible”, taking place around him. And unity? “We are animated by a strong spirit of togetherness.”
Bertrand on another field
For different reasons, Xavier Bertrand has no interest either to mark its difference. The time of the primary is for him not come. The priority this year 2015 is in regional Nord-Pas-de -Calais-Picardie. “If some take advantage of the congress to voice their difference, it will not be understood,” he said Tuesday at the Le Figaro .
Muller afp.com/Jean-Pierre
Juppé “prohibits is nothing”
Rest Alain Juppé. The mystery surrounding his speech is thick. “It is forbidden to nothing,” said in a waffle impeccable, his advisor Gilles Boyer, recalling that between 2002 and 2004, the positions were reversed. Alain Juppe led the UMP, Nicolas Sarkozy eyeing the 2007 presidential and did not hesitate to make it known. Last February, during a National Council, a sort of mini-conferences, Alain Juppe had mocked the “Pavlovian reflex” of UMP militants ready to boo Christiane Taubira soon as his name was pronounced. Twice he had also recalled its proximity and support to Bayrou, triggering the whistles from the audience. The mayor of Bordeaux does not prohibit this Saturday to replay the score.

In terms of accuracy and efficacy Uniportal Video-Assisted Thoracic Surgery (VATS) resections are comparable to standard VATS. In standard three-ports VATS, the geometric configuration of a parallelogram generates interference with the optical source, creating a plane with a torsion angle not favorable on the flat two-dimensional vision of currently available monitors. The potential advantages of single-port VATS approach include not only the one intercostal space incision (reduction of postoperative pain) but also a translational approach of VATS instruments along a sagittal plane. Accordingly, the Uniportal approach enables VATS instruments to draw two parallel lines on the plane, bringing them to approach the target lesion from a caudo-cranial perspective thus achieving a projective plane. As a consequence, taking advantage of the unique spatial features specific to uniportal VATS, the surgeon is enabled to bring the operative fulcrum inside the chest to address the target lesion in a fashion similar to open surgery.

Submitted Mar 07, 2013. Accepted for publication Apr 07, 2013.
The surgical technique and current indications of Uniportal Video-Assisted Thoracic Surgery (VATS) have already been described in detail (1,2). Nevertheless, thoracic surgeons do not completely understand the potential use of Uniportal VATS because they do not completely understand the advantages of the geometrical uniportal approach.
Notes of geometry
The geometric construction of VATS is almost similar to the real word since there is a profound interplay between the natural world and the laws (3) of thought. The most fundamental and firmly accepted parts of our general scientific knowledge of the world involve mathematical models. Geometry is the field of mathematics whose main source of intuition is human visual perception. Vision is one of our most important senses giving contact with the world outside of us. In other words, visual perception is the construction, inspired by images recorded by early vision, of hypotheses which produce visual images that match physical reality in accordance with our previously acquired experience of the same reality.
According to Herodotus, geometry developed first in Egypt: “They say that king Sesostri (2000 B.C.) distributed the land among all of the Egyptians, each one having an equal lot in a square shape, and from these subdivisions obtained tribute, having imposed an annual payment. If the river bore away a part, the owner announced the loss, and officials were sent to observe the extent to which the plot had been diminished for the purpose of adjusting the tribute payment. It is my feeling that this indicates the invention of geometry here, prior to its passing to Greece”.
Since the primary school, we are familiar with Euclidean geometry and with its well description of our world. Euclid of Alexandria was the most prominent mathematician of antiquity best known for his treatise on mathematics “The Elements”, a compilation of knowledge that became the core of mathematical teaching for 2000 years. In “The Elements” the building blocks of geometry are described, such as points (figures without size, a location in space), lines (a set of infinitely many points, with one dimension and no thickness that goes on forever in both directions), planes (with a length, a width and without thickness, that extends infinitely in two-dimensions), and rays (a part of a line that starts at a point that extends infinitely in one direction). Also, five postulates are described in “The Elements”. The fifth postulate, so-called parallel, states that one and only one line can be drawn through a point parallel to a given line. It was not until the 19th century that this postulate was dropped and non-Euclidean geometries were studied. In Euclidean geometry, the sides of objects have lengths, intersecting lines determine angles between them, and two lines are said to be parallel if they lie in the same plane and never meet (1).
Geometry of three port access thoracoscopy
When we consider the imaging during a VATS operation, it becomes clear that Euclidean geometry is insufficient: lengths and angles are no longer preserved, and parallel lines may intersect. Lobacevskian geometry discards Euclid’s 5th postulate replacing it with the following one: given a line and a point not on in, there are infinitely lines going through the given point that is parallel to the given line.
Therefore, the classic three-port approach, in which the lozenge geometric configuration allows maximal convergence of operative instruments from each side of target lesion, produces an interference with the optical source. In coordinate geometry, a lozenge is similar to an ordinary parallelogram with the addition that its position on the coordinate plane is known (Figure 1).
Figure 1. In the three-port access VATS the geometric configuration of lozenge interferes with optical source creating a new optical plane with the genesis of torsion angle (α) that is not favorable with standard two-dimensional monitors.
Geometry of single access thoracoscopy
Projective geometry well reflects the imaging process of VATS, because it allows a much larger class of transformations than just translations and rotations, a class which includes perspective projections. We must start from Euclidean geometry to understand the reason why knowledge of projective geometry is required to appreciate the optical advantages of Uniportal VATS. Two lines (two-dimensional geometry) almost always meet in a point. A common linguistic artifact for getting around this is to say that parallel lines meet “at infinity” enhancing the Euclidean plane by the addition of these points at infinity where parallel lines meet, and resolving the difficulty with infinity by calling them “ideal” points. By adding these points at infinity, the familiar Euclidean space is transformed into a new type of geometric object, the projective space. The projective space is an extension of Euclidean space in which two lines always meet in a point, at infinity. It turns out that the point at infinity in the two-dimensional projective space form a line, usually called the line at infinity. In the three-dimension vision they form the plane at infinity. In the real world, there are no points at infinity, namely the line at infinity in the flat image and the plane at infinity in the world (4). For this reason, although we usually work with projective spaces, we are aware that the line and plane at infinity are in some way special. Generally, we try to have it both ways by treating all points in projective space as equals when it suits us, and singling out the line at infinity in space or the plane at infinity in the image when that becomes necessary. The Uniportal approach requires the translation of the thoracoscope instruments 90° along a sagittal plane, thus bringing the operative instruments to address the target lesion from a vertical, caudo-cranial perspective. To avoid mutual interference, the use of reticulating instruments is of paramount importance for their ability to rotate the stem and the jaws independently on different planes and with multiple angles. The shift from three-dimensional world to a two-dimensional image is a projection process in which we lose one dimension. The usual way of modeling this process is by central projection in which a ray from a point in space is drawn from a three-dimensional world point through a fixed point in space, the so-called “centre of projection”. This ray will intersect a specific plane in space chosen as the image plane. The intersection of the ray with the image plane represents the image of the point. If the three-dimensional structure lies on a plane then there is no drop in dimension. For the purposes of image projection, it is possible to consider all points along such a ray as being equal. We can go one step further, and think of the ray through the projection centre as representing the image point. Thus, the set of all image points is the same as the set of rays through the camera centre. Thus two images taken from the same point in space are projectively equivalent (5).
Therefore, Uniportal VATS technique is based on a completely different geometric concept compared with conventional three-port VATS (6). In fact, the approach to the target lesion in the lung is substantially similar to the approach that the surgeon would use in open surgery (2). Because the visualization of the target lesion occurs along the same axis, the target lesion in the lung would be elevated with forceps perpendicularly from the parenchymal profile and resected by applying a stapler (or a curved clamp and overseen) at the base of this newly created, cone-shaped parenchymal area (1). The instruments inserted parallel to videothoracoscope mimic inside the chest the maneuvers performed during open surgery (6). In the Uniportal VATS approach, the target lesion is located in a projective plane with homogeneous coordinates and represents the point at infinity (Figure 2). The epipolar geometric explanation of the advantages of Uniportal VATS is that, in the projective plane, the sagittal approach to target lesion preserves the depth of intraoperative visualization provided by the currently available two-dimensional video monitors (6).
Figure 2. The Uniportal VATS approach is along a sagittal plane that reaches the target lesion from caudo-cranial perspective in a projective plane preserving the depth of intraoperative visualization (Image courtesy of Dr. Diego Gonzalez Rivas).
Standard three-port VATS has a geometric configuration of lozenge that interfere with optical source with a creation of a new optical plane for the genesis of a dihedral or torsion angle not favorable with monitors. On the contrary, the Uniportal VATS approach the lesion along a sagittal plane; the target lesion is reached forma a caudo-cranial perspectives that realize a projective plane that preserve the depth of intraoperative visualization. In Uniportal VATS instruments are parallel lines drawn on the plane that enables surgeon to bring operative fulcrum inside the chest.

Digitally transforming Africa's agriculture sector
As a market, digital services in Africa's agriculture sector remains untapped say experts and could be worth over US$2.26-billion.
Microsoft, through its 4Afrika Initiative, has announced a new collaboration with the Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa (AGRA) to co-create technology solutions in agriculture.
The collaboration was announced at the African Green Revolution Forum (AGRF) and will support AGRA's digital transformation as it works to improve food security for 30 million farming households across 11 countries by 2021.
Microsoft and AGRA will explore uses of big data and artificial intelligence "in enabling data-driven, precision farming that increases farm productivity and profitability."
SA tech start-up has high expectations with agri-drone innovation
Kagame lauds agritech's fledgling entrepreneurs
The partnership will also support farmers in adopting new technologies through digital training content, develop digital skills in agriculture through an internship programme, and support policy advocacy and government engagement around the design of national agriculture digitisation strategies.
Amrote Abdella, Regional Director of Microsoft 4Afrika, said, "Agriculture is a priority sector of investment for us, not only because it sustains some 70 percent of livelihoods, but because we believe technology can significantly contribute to the transformation of the sector. Africa has a large number of farmers with varying farming practices. We believe technology can augment this knowledge to improve crop yields. Using Microsoft-enabled IOT technology, organisations like SunCulture have helped farmers increase crop yields by 300 percent, and increase income for farmers."
According to AGRA, the biggest hurdle to increasing farmer productivity in Africa today is the continued use of outdated production technologies and practices. Farmers are only likely to adopt new technologies when they are useful, affordable and available locally.
As a result, the Digitilisation of African Agriculture Report found that 90% of the market for digital services that support African smallholders remains untapped, and could be worth more than US$2.26-billion.
"We're excited to work with AGRA in building locally-relevant technology solutions that are mindful of challenges local farmers face, offering solutions to farmers and policy makers alike to deliver meaningful impact," added Abdella.
Earlier this year, Microsoft announced that its Africa Development Centre would help to advance AI innovation in agriculture, including the expansion of FarmBeats. In addition, Microsoft has supported a number of African agritech start-ups and companies, including SunCulture, Virtual City, N-Frnds and Twiga Foods.
Data positions agriculture
The potential to increase Africa's agricultural yields through the strategic use of data could place the continents' farmers at the heart of tomorrow's global economy, according to John Deere Financial.
"New technologies readily available to Africa's farmers mean that the continent is finally at the moment where Africa's vast, as-yet-unrealised, agricultural opportunity can be made relevant to capital, mechanisation and new global markets," said Antois van der Westhuizen, Managing Director: Sub Saharan Africa, John Deere Financial.
For example, John Deere has worked with ACDI/Voca, ADVANCE and USAID as well as other input providers in Ghana, to mechanise and provide fertiliser and seeds to demonstration farms aimed at improving the yield of traditional famers in the country.
"The results have been astounding," said van der Westhuizen. In some cases, "yields have increased seven-fold."
What has changed is that today farmers in Kenya and Tanzania, for example, now transacting on M-Pesa can access the formal economy by selling and buying goods online. Since these previously economically excluded farmers now have a digital footprint, "we can start getting a picture of their inputs, suppliers and costs, as well as their yields, off-takers, incomes and payments histories," added van der Westhuizen.
This data holds the key to revolutionising agriculture in Africa.
Without even having a bank account, "we now have a detailed view of the input, production and earning numbers of previously financially invisible farmers," said van der Westhuizen. With GPS technology able to provide accurate hectarage, "we can now quickly work out how certain inputs, and their cost, might be affordable to specific farmers given the increase in yield that we know these inputs will drive in that location."
In short, with just a handful of data points, the ability to provide credit to a much broader segment of Africa's farmers increases dramatically. For the first time in history all of Africa's famers are now potentially able to present the credit, expenditure, production and income records to make them bankable.
The next step will be to, "use the data from multiple farmers collectively, to develop new supply chains and markets," said van der Westhuizen.
For example, if a grain mill in Kenya requires 2000 tons of a certain crop each month and John Deere has the data on 100 farmers in that district each with the potential to produce 20 tons a month, the data can be used to build a supply chain for the mill that also provides the farmers guaranteed off-take. This data-driven view of the broader supply chain also gives John Deere Financial and other financiers the confidence to extend credit, long-lease machinery or fertilizer to these farmers, secure in the knowledge that the farmers will receive an income from the mill and be able to pay.
Moreover, "if we know that the 100 farmers have secure off-take agreements with a local mill, we can provide tractors or harvesters to start-up agricultural service companies to plough these farmer's fields and harvest their crops, only collecting payment once the farmers have been paid by the mill," van der Westhuizen continued.
Using data in this way could justify further investment in irrigation systems, beneficiation plants, canneries or other industrial investment relevant to expanding the agricultural value chain.
Taken to scale across Africa, this kind of data has the potential to make most African countries food secure, freeing up the billions in hard currency that African governments currently spend importing food. This would, "ease Africa's endemic hard currency crunches and reduce sovereign debt - releasing resources for development, infrastructure or education," said van der Westhuizen.
Given agriculture's much lower barriers to entry, farming also offers Africa far greater potential to broaden economic inclusion compared with, say, "hard currency-intensive mines which only employ a small percentage of the population, for a short time."
Since agriculture, properly managed and scientifically conducted, is more sustainable, the sector has the potential to produce food indefinitely. This offers Africa's mineral export-dependent economies the opportunity to diversify into much more sustainable exports, "with a far higher potential for beneficiation, industrialisation and economic inclusion," van der Westhuizen added.
This is all taking place in a global context in which, over time, the value of agricultural goods, especially food, is likely to increase relative to industrial products.
"African policy makers struggling to replicate the industrially-driven growth successes of many post-World War II developing economies, would do well to re-consider the vast export and development potential presented by agriculture in a food-scare and largely already industrialised world," says van der Westhuizen.
Fortunately, the technology is finally here, "for Africa's policy makers to use the new data available on Africa's farmers to place agriculture - and Africa - at the heart of tomorrow's global economy."

Invest in ME Research
Christmas/New Year Fund Appeal Advent Calendar
Media and ME
We saw this definition regarding media -
“The word ‘media’ is derived from the word medium, signifying mode or carrier.
Media is intended to reach and address a large target group or audience.
The word was first used in respect of books and newspapers i.e. print media and with the advent of technology, media now encompasses television, movies, radio and internet.
In today’s world, media becomes as essential as our daily needs.""
Unfortunately the same article carried on with this dubious comment –
Media of today is playing an outstanding role in creating and shaping of public opinion and strengthening of society.”
“Media is the sword arm of democracy. Media acts as watchdog to protect public interest against malpractice and create public awareness.”
The current UK election would not have supported that statement.
The media coverage seems to have been shown up for many shortcomings with accusations of bias and propaganda promotion, with anonymous sources being quoted giving party-affiliated comments.
Many of the main media organisations have been criticised and the BBC's political correspondent has been heavily criticised for talking on air of postal votes and the damage it is doing to Labour, on the day before the election, and being accused of breaking the law and assisting the Conservative party.
Fake news and faked news is being reported more frequently as fact.
And in this article Peter Osbourne calls out the main media for their coverage
Yet this latest election is not the first occasion where the media has shown out to be manipulative, biased, hypocritical, immoral or just self-serving.
As far as ME is concerned then the media has often been using the ""sword of democracy"" to denigrate people with ME rather than defend them and has been anything but a watchdog to protect against malpractice.
Mainstream media has often been at odds with patient experiences.
Of course, this is because the establishment media has been so controlled by the Biopsychosocial (BPS) influences where favours can be called upon to spit out any article at any time just to defend a BPS acolyte, or even the BPS high priests themselves, if their careers needed boosting or defending.
We well remember the 2011 drivel put out by the press http://investinme.org/Article-504%20A%20Question%20of%20Integrity.shtml
The 2011 summer barrage of anti-ME patient articles demonstrated that the establishment was making a coordinated response to the anger and frustration of ME patients who saw flawed science that was keeping them ill.
The publication of a seemingly coordinated set of articles which further denigrated people suffering from this disease reflected a realisation in many quarters that the PACE Trial had been shown to be the flawed and meaningless publication that ME groups had predicted for years.
Margaret Williams' article on Media and ME appeared in the 2011 Journal click here reported on how poor research results are spun into a positive message with the help of media centres.
Nowadays this topic appears more and more applicable as social media facilitates transparent discussion.
In fact, in recent times it has been more embarrassing for the media to get it so wrong due to the effects of social media. This modern medium allows irresponsible and biased articles to be called out quickly for inaccuracies and downright misinformation.
As we wrote in this article
“The readily available access to these establishment entities - where television, radio and news appearances are set up with no impediment from production departments - contrasts embarrassingly with the news blackout concerning the biomedical research taking place which is making progress - or with the efforts of patients and their friends and families to raise funds for the research that is actually required.”
The results of poor research, and the biased media reporting, can more easily be highlighted.
Yet it does not guarantee fairness or balance - as the election coverage has shown.
Our recent press release [http://investinme.org/IIMER-PR-20191201.shtml] publicising the charity's pledge of £1/2 million forbiomedical research into ME in Norwich Research Park received no media coverage.
IiMER has challenged the BBC and other media misrepresentation, misinformation and mediocre research performed by their backroom staff before their articles appeared.
One complaint we made to the BBC regarding their story on a report in the Lancet Psychiatry journal - "Exercise can help with ME, scientists say".
Our response to the BBC article was here .
We received the same template response from the BBC - an organisation whose salaries are paid for by the public –
“ Thanks for recently contacting the BBC. We aim to reply to complaints within 10 working days (around 2 weeks) and do so for most of them but cannot for all.
The time taken depends on the nature of your complaint, how many others we are dealing with and can also be affected by practical issues such as whether a production team is available or away on location.
This is to let you know that we have referred your complaint to the relevant staff but that it may take longer than 10 working days to reply.
We therefore ask you not to contact us further in the meantime. If it does prove necessary however, please use our webform, quoting any reference number we provided.
This is an automatic email sent from an account which is not monitored so you cannot reply to this email address.
Apart from the automated reply – which we did receive for the complaint as well as for the four follow-up requests for this to be handled - the BBC chose not to respond.
We also asked the BBC for parity in being represented on their website along with the establishment charities.
Of course, they did not oblige.
The friendliness of media editors to those who influence policies on healthcare and research, to the detriment of patients, seems to know no bounds.
Whilst complaining about the Leveson inquiry infringing their liberties the media have done exactly the same to a vulnerable section of society who have been hard pressed to counter their misinformation.
We complained to the Press Complaints Council many years back about a series of articles that predictably came forth from the hired hacks in the establishment media - http://www.investinme.org/Article-505 PCC Complaint Aug 2011.shtml
Charities such as IiMER are often ignored by those in the media who are supposed to serve the public – doing anything but “playing an outstanding role” and often just going to the same, predictable establishment spokespersons who trot out the same tired statements.
Of course, it has not been for want of trying to educate the media. But the inevitable desire for simplistic solutions to complex problems which leads inexorably to soundbite healthcare and nebulous research from the media means that most invitations to our conferences are ignored.
More and more media will eventually be forced to avoid quoting repeatedly from the spin-factory media centres.
It was good to see the Canary (https://www.thecanary.co/discovery/science/2016/06/08/people-mecfs-long-told-head-scientists-disagree/) being different after attendance at one of our international ME conferences.
It would be an improvement if the media would also stop going to the same sources in the establishment to look for comment on ME – it is too cozy a club.
But the odds are at least evened up nowadays.
Social media has provided a tool for challenging everything.

Ships of the Line - October Edition

Published on 5th October 2012 03:12 AM
WELLS TEMPORAL SCIENCE VESSEL
The Wells Class is a 29th Century Federation built Temporal Science Vessel, designed to maintain the integrity of the timeline. Named after the 19th Century author H.G. Wells, the Wells class was only encountered the once by Captain Kathryn Janeway on the U.S.S. Voyager when it was lost in the Delta Quadrant in the year 2375, where the Captain attempted to stop sabotage of Voyager over the course of a five year time frame. The ship used for this, the Relativity-G, was a highly advanced time ship that’s central mission was to uphold and maintain the timeline. Recently, some of these ships have fallen through temporal anomalies created by the Tholians during their new incursion into the Alpha Quadrant, and Starfleet has managed to obtain these highly advanced vessels, but mostly stripped of their technology.
The Wells is far more advanced vessel than anything in the current time period, however it is presumed that the ship has very limited technology compared to 29th Century starships because of the competitive nature of the ships in modern times. Whilst the ship appeared to have used Antiproton beam arrays and Chroniton torpedoes, the ships main feature is its temporal drive and the ability to use time itself to assist it in dire situations. The ship is capable of rewinding time several seconds to a point before a specific decision is made, allowing an alternate solution to be used in its place. The Wells also has a counterpart, the Mobius Destroyer. The Mobius is the Wells Class in the Mirror Universe, also from the 29th Century, but features a far more aggressive arsenal than the Wells. However, due to these vessels also coming into the hands of the Federation, Starfleet has also been able to exploit the abilities of the Mobius and the Wells and combine them onto both ships, allowing unique temporal technology to be developed centuries before its time. It is also believed the Klingon Empire has found vessels of their own, similar if not identical in nature to the Wells and Mobius.
The Wells, and its counterpart the Mobius, have been kept top secret by Starfleet Intelligence until they could be redistributed for Starfleet use in the fleet. Adapted with modern technology, the Wells and Mobius time ships are not as powerful as they would be in the 29th Century, but are fearsome adversaries nevertheless.

D'Kora Class Marauder
The D’Kora Class is a Ferengi built Marauder, designed to function to serve as a Freighter for the Ferengi Alliance, exporting and importing trade goods to and from the Ferengi Alliance. The Ferengi were first officially encountered by Starfleet in 2364 when the U.S.S. Enterprise-D followed a Ferengi D’kora Marauder to the Delphi Ardu System believing the ship to possess a stolen weapon. Whilst this contact was officially recorded to be the first encounter, previous incidents with the Ferengi were realised after extensive searching through Starfleet history, stretching back as a far as 200 years to the 22nd Century.
The Marauder has also been known to serve as a Ferengi Battle Cruiser, possessing impressive firepower and the ability to survive over an extended period of time in certain circumstances. The ship is also equipped with a Battle Module, which allows the Marauder to literally transform into a configuration designed specifically for combat situations. Using this module and combining it with an EMP Pulse Generator as well as Swarm Missiles, the Marauder has its own fair share of fearsome weapons to hold its own in combat situations.
The Marauder has always traditionally been a freighter-type ship and is intended by the Ferengi Alliance to fulfil this role, however, should the ship find itself under attack, enemy ships will find more than they bargained for when trying to raid a Ferengi Convoy.

DEFIANT CLASS TACTICAL ESCORT
The Defiant is a Starfleet build Tactical Escort, originally designed and conceived to fight the Borg. The Defiant was among the list of concept starships to be built to fight the Borg, which also included the Akira, Sabre, Norway, Steamrunner and Sovereign class vessels. Starfleet claimed to not have believed in warships, however the Defiant became a necessary asset after the first encounter with the Borg at System J-25 and then later at the Battle of Wolf 359. When the Borg threat became less urgent, Starfleet put the design of the ship on hold until further notice, upon which the threat of the Dominion occurred, assigning the very first prototype, the U.S.S. Defiant (NX-74205), to space station Deep Space 9. In 2373, the Defiant Class was put into mass production.
The Defiant Class is especially equipped with Phaser Quad Cannons, energy weapons which had been designed specifically to deal heavy damage to Borg vessels. Whilst the Defiant Class is a small ship in comparison to the larger Starfleet cruisers, it is by no means a lightly defended ship. Equipped with Ablative Hull Armour and a powerful Warp Core, the Defiant is more than capeable of holding its own when facing increasing pressure. The original Defiant had a Cloaking Device borrowed from the Romulans, and newer built Defiant Classes are having cloaking devices fitted on them, believed to be stolen from the Klingon and Romulan Empire’s.
The Defiant is a major foe for enemy vessels and to this end, it still relies on other Cruisers to help back it up if engaged in major fleet operations and is usually called upon in these instances.
Ships of the Line - March Edition
Published on 1st March 2012 07:30 AM
BORTAS HEAVY BATTLE CRUISER
The Bortas (meaning “Vengeance” in the Klingon language) is a KDF built Heavy Battle Cruiser, designed for commanding KDF fleets and assisting other KDF ships in large combat zones. Honouring a previous flagship of the KDF also named the Bortas; the new Bortas is more than capable of holding its own in a firefight, whilst dealing significant amounts of damage to any enemy ships. When Klingon Intelligence became aware of the launch of Starfleet’s new Odyssey Class starship, KDF engineers rushed to finalise the designs of the Bortas to ensure the Empire’s dominance in space.
Originally conceived by Chancellor J’mpok as a way for a new more powerful ship design to lead the KDF and the Empire as a whole, the Bortas was developed to fulfil this vision. As with most Klingon ships, the Bortas has its own Cloaking Device similar to that of the other Battle Cruisers already present in the KDF fleet. However, due to the large warp signature emitted by the ship, the Cloaking Device is only 80% as effective and is not as capable with this technology as the other Battle Cruisers are. The ship has also been under more development by the designers and engineers within the KDF and is rumoured to be outfitted with it own personal Auxiliary Craft Bird of Prey designed to assist the Bortas in overwhelming odds.
The Bortas now serves as the frontline ship for the Klingon Empire in the decaying war against the Federation and the renewed threat of the Borg, joining the Vo’Quv as a new command ship. Both ships serve as beacons of the Klingon Empire and as a result, the KDF have employed both ships to be command ships in any given situation.

ODYSSEY CLASS STAR CRUISER
The Odyssey Class is a Starfleet built Star Cruiser, designed for exploring the vastness of the stars. A recent development in starship designs, the Odyssey is named after the destroyed U.S.S. Odyssey Galaxy Class starship that was lost in the Gamma Quadrant 39 years ago. As Starfleet's new official flagship, the Odyssey is the new pinnacle of starship design technology, featuring a long-standing development by the Starfleet Corps of Engineers, the ability of Saucer Seperation. This feature allows a starship to seperate its Saucer section from the Stardrive section of the ship and form two indepent mobile functioning starships. This design was first used in common construction on the Galaxy Class starship and was first used by the U.S.S. Enterprise-D in 2364.
The first Odyssey Class starship, the U.S.S. Odyssey, was launched at Utopia Planitia with the registry "NCC - 97000". The prototype performed exceptionally well in simulations and extensive field testings and was pitched against the new Klingon Flagship, the Bortas. The Second Odyssey Class starship is the U.S.S. Enterprise-F (registry NCC-1701-F)however any details of this vessel have not yet been released (including the launch date or its crew).
These days however, the Odyssey has become the new leading starship in the fight against the Borg and the decaying battle against the Klingon Empire. Being very large and able to pack a formidable punch in combat, the Odyssey will become a vital ship for years to come.

RAGAN v. RAGAN was a 1958 Missouri appellate court
decision. Famous WatchTower Society attorney, and former
WatchTower Vice-President, Hayden C. Covington
represented Agnes Vernie Ragan in this appeal, which
Covington lost. With regard to Covington's representation
on appeal, the very last paragraph in this lengthy appellate
opinion is a nice place to start this summary:
"Since plaintiff properly raised no constitutional question in
the trial court and properly presented no such question in
this court, we have neither reason nor excuse to accept the
invitation of plaintiff's counsel to browse through the
judicial pastures of other jurisdictions from California to
New Hampshire for examination of cases involving the
[Jehovah's] Witnesses and their doctrines. Nevertheless,
with freedom of religion so basic to our way of life and so
cherished by all free people, we would deem it a duty and
count it a privilege to deal with plaintiff's purported point in
the exercise of our discretionary power to consider 'plain
errors affecting substantial rights' under Supreme Court
Rule 3.27, if plaintiff's constitutional guaranties of freedom
of religion had been denied by the judgment under review.
However, we can discover no basis for plaintiff's charge
that the decree nisi was based upon her religious beliefs
and practices. On the contrary, the record shows that
every objection of plaintiff's counsel to inquiries concerning
those matters was sustained by the trial judge, who in
some instances pointedly commented that such inquiries
were not material or relevant. There was ample evidence to
justify and support the award of custody of the two children
to defendant, wholly disregarding plaintiff's religious beliefs
and practices, and certainly our affirmation of the decree
nisi, upon review de novo, is in no wise and to no extent
predicated upon or influenced by any religious
consideration. The simple truth is that there has been and is
no constitutional question in this case.
Elmer Lee Ragan and Agnes Vernie Ragan were married in
1931. In addition to an 8 year old daughter and a 5 year old
son, the Ragans also had two sons who were adults by the
year 1957. The Ragan family lived in Fordland, Missouri,
where they operated a grocery and farm supply business
out of the same building in which they lived.
In October 1955, Agnes Vernie Ragan joined the Jehovah's
Witnesses. In May 1956, she left her husband and children,
and thereafter remained separate and apart from them until
October 1956, when the family was briefly reunited. During
this period of separation, Agnes Ragan engaged in the
Jehovah's Witnesses "missionary work" of "placing
literature". She also found time to pursue two lawsuits
seeking financial support from her husband.
When the second such lawsuit came on for trial in October
1956, the circuit judge, distressed by the tragedy unfolding
before him, patiently talked with the parties in his
chambers, persuasively urged them to reunite "for the sake
of the children," and hopefully effected what we shall refer
to as a reconciliation. At that time, the parties entered into
an informal "agreement" that (as paraphrased by Agnes
Ragan in its simplest terms): "I was to take care of the
home and the children, and he (Elmer Ragan) was to take
care of the business." According to Agnes Ragan, the
specific provision that (as she put it) "I was to have no part
in the business" was prompted by her complaint about
working long hours in the store.
However, Elmer Ragan said that he insisted upon this
provision because of Agnes Ragan's secret and
unauthorized abstractions of cash from the store: "I couldn't
trust her in the store no more." Per the "agreement",
Agnes Ragan was to attend two meetings of the Jehovah's
Witnesses each week, a one-hour meeting for "Bible study"
each Tuesday evening at a farm home two miles from
Fordland, and a two-hour meeting each Sunday evening at
Kingdom Hall in Springfield, but was not to participate
otherwise in the Jehovah's Witnesses' "activities," which
Elmer Ragan charged had caused Agnes Ragan to neglect
and abandon both her husband and their children.
This "reconciliation" was short-lived. Within 2-3 weeks,
tempers flared and trouble erupted again, by reason of
Agnes Ragan's alleged failure to come home immediately
after the meetings ended. Instead, she allegedly was not
coming home until 11:00 o'clock or later on several nights.
Additionally, Elmer Ragan alleged that during the period
from the reconciliation in October to the final separation on
January 20, 1957, Agnes Ragan's mind was so occupied and
her time was so consumed with the reading of WatchTower
literature and activities that she failed to dress and feed the
children properly, frequently left them "just running wild
around the store" - "just doing whatever they wanted to
do," and was so unconcerned about them that she "many a
time" answered his inquiries about the children with "I don't
know - go see about them"; that she would not engage in
without bringing up the Jehovah's Witnesses and
attempting to answer every question "with scripture".
Further, Agnes Ragan spoke disparagingly of "anyone by
the name of Ragan" in general and of her husband in
particular, because, not being Jehovah's Witnesses, they
were "no ways near the same type and kind of people" but
were "an altogether different class or breed"; that she told
the children that, "if they listened to me (their father), it was
wrong and lie"; and that, in short, she was "very cold and
indifferent" - "a long ways from a wife" to defendant and
not "motherly with the children."
On an evening in November, 1956, Elmer Ragan waited up
until 10:30P.M. for Agnes to return from her meeting, "went
on to bed," heard no knock or telephone call, and did not
see Agnes until she returned home the following morning,
when Agnes curtly remarked: "I would have been at home
if you would have let me in". Agnes gave no explanation of
where she had spent the night. During the trial, Agnes
testified that she had "returned a little after ten," that there
had been no response to her knocks on the locked door or
to her call from the nearby telephone exchange, and that
accordingly she had sought lodging for the night with
neighbors of the same religious faith.
The final separation followed an altercation on the night of
Sunday, January 20, 1957, after plaintiff had returned from
Springfield "around 10:30 or a little after." According to
Elmer Ragan, he was upstairs putting the two minor
children to bed, when Agnes knocked on the downstairs
door. Probably taking his good time, by the time he went
downstairs to let Agnes in, she was beating and kicking the
door. After that point, both parties gave widely different
versions of the multiple physical attacks both probably
made on each other. Interestingly, the then 18 year old son
testified in Elmer's favor. At any rate, Agnes left the marital
home permanently that night.
At trial, Elmer Ragan, and others testified that Agnes Ragan
had a bad temper. The then 19 year old son testified that his
mother "was always abusive" toward his father and "was
always in a mad state of condition." Two neighbor women
related separate conversations with Agnes in which Agnes
had admitted that "when she (Agnes) got mad there wasn't
nothing she wouldn't say or do." According to Elmer, Agnes
"would hardly ever just talk" to the children - "she would
slap them, kick them first, and then tell them what she
wanted." Both Elmer and son Don described an illustrative
incident involving Robert Keith, the five-year old child.
"Little Bobby set a water pitcher at the table, and didn't set
it on there good, and it fell off, and she just screamed and
said, 'you little devil,' and kicked him and cried and so forth
for about an hour or more and slapped him a time or two
because the kid made a mistake." In describing his
mother's reaction to the broken pitcher, Don said that she
"had a sort of a screaming fit, and kicked him (Bobby), and
went into a mad rage." An employee who worked at the
Ragan store, testified that he had seen plaintiff "kick the
children in the stomach, in the back" - "almost anyplace, it
didn't make much difference, I don't think."
Three neighbor women staunchly supported Elmer Ragan's
assertion that Agnes had neglected the children. Two of
these neighbors had seen the young Ragan children
playing on a nearby railroad right of way several times and
had sent them home, and the third neighbor recounted an
incident in which she "went and got Bobby (5 years old at
time of trial) off the highway and a big truck just barely
missed him." All of this occurred while Agnes was at home.
Nine witnesses for Elmer testified that the children had
better care while Agnes was gone from May to October
1956, and after the final separation in January 1957, than
while she was at home. Agnes also had six "witnesses"
testify on her behalf, but as the trial judge noted, "not a
single witness testified on her behalf on the all-important
issue as to her care of the children."
More interesting was the testimony of three other local
residents who all knew Elmer and Agnes. One man
testified that he had seen Agnes and an unidentified
"somebody" drinking beer at a Springfield bar. A woman
testified that was returning from church between 10:00 and
10:30 P. M. on a Sunday night during December, 1956, when
she came upon a parked, unlighted automobile stopped in
the middle of a lonely road. Fearful that she could not pass
this parked automobile, she "got out of my car and walked
to the window" of the parked automobile for the purpose of
asking the driver to move. She smelled "liquor or beer,"
and saw Agnes and an unidentified man in the parked
automobile, spoke to Agnes by name, and received an
answering "hello." Another local man testified that "around
three or four weeks" prior to the trial on June 3, 1957, he
was driving over a dirt road near Springfield, between 11:30
P.M. and midnight, when the headlights on his
slowly-moving automobile shone on a parked, unlighted
automobile, facing toward him. "I seen Agnes in it, and I
thought Elmer might have been there too, so I stopped and
went up to the car, and I seen it wasn't Elmer, and just
spoke to Agnes, and just turned around and walked back to
my car, and took off."
The appellate judges who heard this case could barely
contain their despise for the LIES of WatchTower Attorney
and Vice-President Hayden Covington. Note this paragraph
from the appellate opinion:
"The tenor of plaintiff's argument on appeal is exemplified
by these bold, sweeping affirmations in the opening
paragraph:
'There is not the slightest suggestion that [Agnes Ragan]
was guilty of any immorality. The record nowhere even
faintly suggests that she did not properly care for her
children. The evidence shows that she was diligent in
providing them with religious guidance. Nowhere can it be
found in the record that she neglected her children.'
On this false premise (asserted in the teeth of a record
fairly bristling with testimony to the contrary), plaintiff
contends that, while 'both parties were qualified' to have
custody of the children, 'lack of proof of disqualification
made mandatory the award to the mother.' But, sound and
fury are sorry substitutes for fact and evidence, and
plaintiff's counsel cannot, by his own bootstraps, lift himself
and his client above the transcript here presented.
Although our courts have said many times that, "all other
things being equal," custody of a child of tender years
should be awarded to the mother ... , the paramount and
controlling consideration in every child custody case, to
which all other principles and presumptions must yield, is
the welfare of the child.
"In the homely language of the old adage, "the proof of the
pudding is in the eating"; ... And, upon our independent and
painstaking review of the entire record in the instant case ...
with primary concern for the welfare of the children
involved ..., we are convinced beyond peradventure of
doubt that the judgment of the trial court, awarding custody
of the two children to [Elmer Ragan], was justified and
proper, finds ample support in the evidence, and should not
be disturbed."

DF ’15: Hotel Nueva Isla
In Cuba, every building is dilapidated, but Jorge de los Rois’ home is particularly so. Perversely, he keeps making it worse and worse. Formerly one of Havana’s most exclusive luxury hotels, it is now a battered shell not even fit for squatters. However, de los Rios finds his reason for being bashing away at the walls and moldings in the dubious belief the pre-revolutionary owners left some great treasure somewhere within the guts of the structure. It is an increasingly lonely and Sisyphean existence documented (for lack of a better word) in Irene Gutiérrez Torres’ Hotel Nueva Isla (trailer here), which screens during MoMA’s 2015 Documentary Fortnight.
Once the Nueva Isla was a magnet for the city’s homeless population, but the unsound building has become too dangerous for all but the most desperate or committed squatters. Yet de los Rios continues to whack away. It is hard to speculate how monomaniacal he really is, given the narrative elements incorporated by Torres and her co-screenwriter and cinematographer Javier Labrador. Hopefully, the one-sided pillow talk mostly featuring de los Rios’ somewhat younger lover is entirely fictional, since he cannot be bothered to throw her the scantest of emotional bones. Still, the is something tragically compelling about him, sort of like Rinko Kikuchi’s character in Kumiko the Treasure Hunter, but about a thousand times less moving.
The symbolism of the broken down de los Rios and his broken down hotel are hard to miss. Betrayed by false promises and lean from poor nutrition, he is Cuba personified. There is simply no way to spin this fly-on-the-wall visit to the Nueva Isla as a positive for the genre. Yet, despite the added fictional veneer, HNI is a defiantly static film. Sometimes, it feels like watching the worst PBS handyman show ever: The New Socialist Workshop, starring Jorge de los Rios. This week, Jorge busts up debris with a hammer, just like last week, and the week before.
Without question, HNI makes Cuba look like an unremittingly crummy place to live. Since Torre and Labrador confine themselves to the Nueva Isla and rarely leave de los Rios’ side, the film necessarily feels claustrophobic. Nevertheless, wider concerns (such as the fate of his estranged son keen to try his luck with the desperate Florida crossing) occasionally manage to creep in.
Ironically, the treasure of Nueva Isla is right in front of his eyes, but de Los Rios cannot see it. The hotel once employed dozens if not hundreds of people and was a major multiplier for the neighborhood. It was something very valuable for many people, but now it is a wreck. Castro and his murderous ideology destroyed it well enough, but de los Rios keeps piling on.
Regardless, there is an awful lot of reality in HNI, but not much energy (you might wonder why Torres would compromise its vérité purity in a way that does not add much cinematic get-up-and-go). Honest in spirit with regards to the big picture, but more interesting in principle than as an actual viewing experience, Hotel Nueva Isla screens this Monday (2/16) and Tuesday (2/17) at MoMA, as part of this year’s Documentary Fortnight.

The Armanian Genocide
Sunday, 12 April 2015 15:37 GFP Columnist - Basil Venitis
Almost all societies have diverse populations. Divisions between national, racial, ethnic, and religious groups and tensions fueled by past and present patterns of discrimination are among the key risk factors for conflict and atrocity crimes. Managing diversity constructively and building resilient, inclusive and transparent societies is crucial for the prevention of violent conflict as well as atrocity crimes, which we define as genocide, war crimes, ethnic cleansing, and crimes against humanity.
Pope Francis sparked a diplomatic row on Sunday by calling the massacre of up to 1.5 million Armenians 100 years ago the first genocide of the 20th century. Muslim Turkey accepts that many Christian Armenians died in clashes with Ottoman soldiers beginning in 1915, when Armenia was part of the empire ruled from Istanbul, but denies hundreds of thousands were killed and that this amounted to genocide. Pegida, Patriotic Europeans Against the Islamization of the West, Patriotische Europäer gegen die Islamisierung des Abendlandes, declares Turkey tries to Islamize Europe.
All over the world Vienna is the symbol of resistance against Islam. It is Vienna that the Islamic invasion of the West was stopped in 1683. Islam was defeated at the gates of Vienna.
Today we have a clear message for Islam again. The same message that King John Sobieski had when he rushed to Vienna in 1683 to help defend it against the Turks: You will not be able to overwhelm Vienna or the West. Because we will not allow it.
Flogging Bloggers
Saturday, 17 January 2015 11:21 GFP Columnist - Basil Venitis
Saudi Arabia plays a double game, as many Saudi princes finance ISIS! - Islam is a lie, Muhammad a criminal, the Koran is poison. This is the new slogan on the flag of Saudi Arabia modified to declare truth and liberation.
We are relieved that the Saudi authorities have postponed blogger Raif Badawi’s second session of 50 lashes on medical grounds but we very concerned about his health and urge the authorities to abandon this barbaric punishment altogether because it could prove fatal.
Sentenced to ten years in prison and 1,000 lashes last November, the young blogger was due to receive the second round of 50 lashes after Friday prayers, but the doctor who examined him decided that he could not endure more flogging for the time being because he has not recovered from the first session a week ago. The second session has therefore been postponed until next Friday.
Saudi Arabia can do longer deny the gravity of this flogging, a barbaric punishment that is contrary to international law. In view of Badawi’s alarming condition after 50 lashes, how can the Saudi authorities envisage inflicting another 950 lashes? It is a death sentence. He would not survive. Saudi Arabia must immediately rescind this sentence to avoid doing something that cannot be undone.
France Deports Muslim Freaks
Wednesday, 13 February 2013 17:11 GFP Columnist - Basil Venitis
Hollande deports a number of freakish imams to tackle the terrorism of caliphate. Caliphate is the system of government established in Islam and represents the leader's unity of the Muslim Ummah community. It is an aristocratic theocracy, where the Caliph and other officials are representatives of the people and of Islam and must govern according to Sharia. Now Occident has been hoodwinked to support a global terrorist caliphate by encouraging Islamist rebels!
Al-Qaeda has as one of its clearly stated goals the re-establishment of the caliphate. Ayman al-Zawahiri seeks to restore the caliphate, which had formally ended in 1924 following the dissolution of the Ottoman Empire. Zawahiri believes that once the caliphate is re-established, Egypt would become a rallying point for the rest of the Islamic world, leading the jihad against Occident.
Freedom Brings People Together
Monday, 28 January 2013 19:03 GFP Columnist - Basil Venitis
Ron Paul, a frequent reader of venitism.blogspot.com, muses what a wonderful world it would be if everyone accepted the simple moral premise of rejecting all acts of aggression. The retort to such a suggestion is always: it's too simplistic, too idealistic, impractical, naive, utopian, dangerous, and unrealistic to strive for such an ideal. The answer to that is that for thousands of years the acceptance of government force, to rule over the people, at the sacrifice of liberty, was considered moral and the only available option for achieving peace and prosperity.
What could be more utopian than that myth, considering the results especially looking at the state sponsored killing, by nearly every government during the 20th Century, estimated to be in the hundreds of millions. It's time to reconsider this grant of authority to the state. No good has ever come from granting monopoly power to the state to use aggression against the people to arbitrarily mold human behavior. Such power, when left unchecked, becomes the seed of an ugly tyranny. This method of governance has been adequately tested, and the results are in: reality dictates we try liberty.
Athletic Competition of Dopes
Friday, 18 January 2013 00:00 GFP Columnist - Basil Venitis
Infamous cyclist Lance Armstrong ended years of lies on Thursday. He finally confessed to Oprah Winfrey that he was doping on a consistent way. Armstrong's confession comes just months after the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) released a detailed report describing him as the ringmaster of the most sophisticated, professionalized and successful doping program that sport has ever seen.
We all know what happens at Olympics, an international competition of steroids, not athletes. People feel well during the games, but feel miserable after the games when they find out Olympics cost them ten times more than projected, and most of it went to bribe kleptocrats!
A poll on my website shows 60% of people consider athletic competitions not really competitions of athletes, but of pharmaceutical companies and bribes! Every year, new untraceable dopes show up, which bring gold medals.

Tesla starts work on building Model Y SUVs at Shanghai factory
by Emilio Sims
in Money
Various government officials including Mayor Ying Yong and Zhu Zhisong, deputy secretary-general of the Shanghai municipal government, were among the dignitaries attending Tuesday's event.
The price tags for the China-made Model Y will be between 444,000 yuan and 535,000 yuan, Tesla said Tuesday.
The announcements were made by Musk while delivering the first Model 3 vehicle from the Shanghai plant to the public.
Construction of Tesla's first plant outside the United States began in January and production started in October.
Revenue from China already accounted for about 11% of Tesla's total for the quarter ended September, up from 6% a year ago, according to Bloomberg.
The entrepreneur danced and gave out high-fives on a stage as sleek Model 3 sedans - the company's mid-price, mass-market offer - were driven up one by one and presented to buyers who jumped into the back seats before being driven away at the plant.
But he was there to celebrate delivering the first cars from Tesla's new factory.
The China plant is already assembling 1,000 cars a week and aims to double that rate over the next year, Song Gang, the manufacturing director at the facility, said December 30.
By reducing prices, Tesla is looking to gain a competitive edge over Chinese startups like Nio and Xpeng. But locally built vehicles are not only exempt from taxes on auto purchases but also qualify for subsidies, allowing Tesla to sell the Chinese-made Model 3 for less than 300,000 yuan. The sale price will be announced later, the website says.
The Model Y will have five seat and seven seat editions.
He predicted that "ultimately Tesla Model Y will have more demand than probably all the other cars of Tesla combined", with his voice cracking with emotion at times while talking about the progress of the Shanghai factory.
Currently, Tesla's model range all occupy their specific segments with limited competition between models. "After all, it has been there for more than a decade", said Zhang. The California automaker is widely recognized as a high-tech brand among Chinese consumers, he said. "But sometimes they don't come in", said Qin.
Underscoring investors' confidence in Musk and his company's future growth, its market capitalization has outpaced its USA rivals, even as their businesses dwarf Tesla's. "It will not take long before Audi, Mercedes and BMW recognize the new competitor", said Zhang.
China is the biggest global market for electrics, but Tesla's manufacturing launch comes at a time when sales are sagging following the end of government subsidies in mid-2019.
Tesla plans to increase production capacity to 500,000 a year after the subsequent phase, although it is not clear when exactly Tesla will achieve these goals. No, we are not.
Musk did not share any other details about a new electric vehicle, aside from saying that it is something kind of radical that nobody expected, like the Tesla Cybertruck.
BJEV is making every effort to move upward and has started trial production of models under its Arcfox brand in a plant built with Canadian automotive supplier Magna.

Smokey Robinson: Home
Smokey Robinson and the Miracles
America’s greatest poet, according to Bob Dylan.
When it comes to Motown titans, Smokey Robinson is second only to Berry Gordy Jr. Not only did he put the company on the map with his gorgeous, passionate ballads, but he also acted as producer, songwriter, talent scout and vice-president. Smokey Robinson and the Miracles scored twenty-seven pop-soul hits at Motown between 1960 and 1971, including the classics “You’ve Really Got a Hold on Me,” “Mickey’s Monkey,” “Going to a Go-Go” and “I Second That Emotion.” The Miracles could bring audiences to their feet or to tears with their satiny smooth vocals. The first act in the budding Motown label, the Miracles were pure musicians. They didn’t rely on flash; with their superior blend and songwriting, they didn’t need to.

Facebook lets blind people ‘see’ photos
As the internet becomes dominated by images, Facebook is launching a system which can “read” photos and tell visually impaired people what appears in them.
The internet is changing. From a medium based almost entirely on text, it is now becoming increasingly picture-led. An estimated 1.8 billion images are uploaded every day to social networks such as Twitter, Instagram and Facebook.
Good news for aspiring photographers, bad news for blind or partially sighted users who often have no way of telling what is in an image – despite the available modern assistive technologies.
But a new service from Facebook, being launched on Tuesday, is attempting to remedy that.
Blind people use sophisticated navigation software called screenreaders to make computers usable. They turn the contents of the screen into speech output or braille. But they can only read text and can’t “read” pictures.
Using artificial intelligence (AI), Facebook’s servers can now decode and describe images uploaded to the site and provide them in a form that can be read out by a screenreader.
Facebook says it has now trained its software to recognise about 80 familiar objects and activities. It adds the descriptions as alternative text, or alt text, on each photo. The more images it scans, the more sophisticated the software will become.
Some of the objects the new technology can recognise are:
Transport – car, boat, aeroplane, bicycle, train, road, motorcycle, bus
Environment – outdoor, mountain, tree, snow, sky, ocean, water, beach, wave, sun, grass
Sports – tennis, swimming, stadium, basketball, baseball, golf
Food – ice cream, sushi, pizza, dessert, coffee
Appearance – baby, eyeglasses, beard, smiling, jewellery, shoes – and selfie
The man behind the development is Matt King, a Facebook engineer who lost his sight as a result of retinitis pigmentosa – a condition which destroys the light sensitive cells in the retina.
“On Facebook, a lot of what happens is extremely visual,” King says. “And, as somebody who’s blind, you can really feel like you’re left out of the conversation, like you’re on the outside.”
The technology that King and his team have developed uses Facebook’s in-house object-recognition software to decipher what an image contains. It has been trained to recognise items such as food and vehicles.
“Our artificial intelligence has advanced to the point where it’s practical for us to try to get computers to describe pictures in a meaningful way,” King says.
“This is in its very early stages, but it’s helping us move in the direction of that goal of including every single person who wants to participate in the conversation.”
The system currently describes images in fairly basic terms such as: “There are two people in this image and they are smiling.”
King and Facebook would like the system to go one step further and use face recognition to identify people in a picture by name with help from their database of users, but others are resisting the idea on privacy grounds.
For King, it is a matter of principle – he says sighted and visually-impaired people should have equal access to the content posted online. Sighted people know who is in many of the photos they see, so blind people should also be allowed that same privilege, he believes.

Having to deal with the aftermath of a near and dear one or tenant being the victim of a city crime in Bula, makes it hard to process things when you need to support the rest of the family or take care of legal procedures.
A crime scene doesn’t just cover homicides. Sometimes, the crimes committed include arson and biohazard works to affect more significant numbers of crime victims. After such a crime, the areas are sealed to keep the contamination from spreading onto more people. Hence, calling a certified crime scene cleanup company like ours to conduct an extensive bioremediation process to decontaminate the area is essential for such places to be habitable again. We use tools and suits that are equipped to handle biohazard crime scenes in Bula, especially.
Murders or homicides are the top crime committed in every part of the world, including Bula TX. This leaves a lot of crime scenes with the risk of being left unattended by specialists after the investigation window closes. Not cleaning up the area on time can create more problems and permanent damage to the property’s appearance. Hence, appointing clean up company who are certified by industry standards bring a considerable difference.
Conducting hazmat cleanups at a crime scene in Bula can be done only when a company has been legally certified. Our teams put in an extraordinary time and effort to conduct extensive hazmat cleanups all around Texas. By bringing in the top equipment and cleanup technology, we have the best hazmat cleanup service you could opt for. Once you assign us the task, worrying about the cleaning is our job. All you need to be prepared for is to receive a perfectly sterile property.
If you’re worried about the hassle of approaching us, we understand the difficulty a family faces during such times. Just give us a call from your home, and we will respond immediately. Finding your location is no big task as we extensively map our areas of service. The nearest team available will visit you and give your property a full cleaning at a reasonable cost. Once we are done cleaning, the Bula property will look as good as new, without affecting your chances of a resale or immediate occupation.

Ka`u News Briefs March 19, 2013
State Consumer Advocate Jeffrey Ono testified that there are few people signing up for Olson land to grow
food in Ka`u. Olson Trust has a list of about 40 who want land for coffee and other crops. Photo by Geneveve Fyvie
WHILE FARMERS ARE LINED UP waiting to lease Edmund C. Olson land to grow more coffee and food crops in Ka`u, state Consumer Advocate Jeffrey Ono testified to the Public Utilities Commission in support of Olson land going for the proposed `Aina Koa Pono biofuels project.
Hawai`i State Consumer Advocate
Jeffrey Ono
“I am informed, therefore I believe, that the Edmund Olson Trust that owns the 12,000 acres on which the AKP project is to be located has made available portions of that land for food crop productions, but very few farmers have actually taken advantage of that offer. Furthermore, if this project is approved, then the Olson Trust will make available a portion of the 12,000 acres for food crop production,” testified the Consumer Advocate. The PUC posted the testimony yesterday on its website at puc.hawaii.gov.
John Cross, land manager for Olson Trust, confirmed this morning that about 40 people are waiting to lease Olson land. Many of them are coffee farmers whose famous Ka`u Coffee market is outstripping production. Every piece of Olson land that has been offered for lease to farmers and ranchers is taken, said Cross. The Trust is planning to soon open up more land for small farmers, he said, independent of whether or not AKP goes forward.
During an educational session last week in Pahala for farmers taking value-added products to market, several participants said they are waiting for land to lease. One woman said she has been waiting for over a year and that her coffee starts are ready to go into the ground. Gloria Camba, president of Ka`u Coffee Growers Cooperative, said that she is one of the farmers on the waiting list and that many of the co-op members want to expand production.
In regard to the Consumer Advocate stating that AKP plans to use 12,000 acres of Olson land, the Olson acreage that AKP previously tied up for its project is approximately 8,000 acres. Apparently, no additional Olson lands are reserved for AKP, should the project go through.

The Consumer Advocate also testified that "as soon as possible," AKP “needs to release the results” of a voluntary Environmental Assessment which AKP contracted R.M.Towill to produce for the biofuel farming and refinery project in Ka`u. Ono also wrote that he was “disappointed that after the rejection of the first AKP contract, that AKP did not offer a community benefits package to the Ka`u community. I was advised by various AKP representatives that AKP was working with the community, but at no time was I ever informed that a firm offer had been made by AKP as to the ‘give-backs’ AKP would make to Ka`u,” testified the Consumer Advocate.
In supporting the AKP proposal for a 20-year, fixed contract for AKP to sell biofuel to Hawaiian Electric Light Co. and Hawai`i Electric Co., Ono suggested that the resulting higher electric bills be levied on O`ahu customers alone to pay for it. He noted that the Big Island already pays more than O`ahu for electricity. He suggested that O`ahu could get credit for supporting renewable energy by paying for the additional cost of making the biofuel in Ka`u, even though the biofuel would be used in a power plant near Kona airport rather than on O`ahu, where the customers would weather the increase in their electric bills.
Ono also repeated what AKP refers to as misinformation about consumers paying for AKP’s farm and refinery. While AKP needs its 20-year, fixed-rate contract approved by the PUC to go after financing for its project, which would be underwritten with higher electric bills, Ono’s interpretation is different. He testified: “I discount the statements that are factually incorrect. For example, a number of Hawai`i Island residents complained that ratepayers are being asked to fund this unproven technology and the risk of failure falls on consumers. This is not correct. Ratepayers do not pay for anything until AKP actually delivers biodiesel to HELCO,” testified the Consumer Advocate. Only after the diesel is purchased by the utility would electric bills rise.
This and other testimony is available at puc.hawaii.gov.

39 children killed by Israel in 2018
On: 11 september 2018 By: KhamakarPress
Some 39 Palestinian children have been killed in the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip in 2018
Some 39 Palestinian children have been killed in the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip in 2018 to date, according to a new statement by NGO Defense for Children International – Palestine(DCIP).
The death toll rose this past week, after Israeli soldiers killed two Palestinian boys, aged 16 and 17, during protests near the Gaza perimeter fence.
According to DCIP, Israeli forces have killed 38 children, while one child was killed by Israeli settlers.
“The parents of one further child who was shot by Israeli forces on April 29, Yousef Abu Jazar, are still waiting for official confirmation of their child’s death,” the statement noted.
Read: Israeli armed forces kill Palestinian in Gaza
Of the 39 child fatalities, said DCIP, 27 children were killed in the context of “Great March of Return” protests near the Gaza Strip perimeter fence that have taken place since 30 March.
Last Friday, Israeli forces killed 16-year-old Ahmad Misbah Abu Tyour and 17-year-old Bilal Mustafa Mohammad Khafajeh, both shot with live ammunition.
Ahmad was shot in the foot, “causing serious damage”. At the hospital “ruled that the injury was so severe, it would require amputation”, but “at approximately 8:00 a.m. the next morning, on September 8, Ahmad succumbed to his injury and was pronounced dead”.
Bilal was also shot on Friday evening, and hit with a live bullet to the chest. He was pronounced deal upon arrival at hospital.
Read: Israel killed 19 Palestinians and wounded 1,600 in August
“Palestinian children are being routinely shot and killed in the Gaza Strip with impunity including during circumstances that suggest unlawful and wilful killings,” said DCIP’s Ayed Abu Eqtaish.
“International bodies must take steps to end this and uphold protections for Palestinian children.”
#GreatMarchOfReturn
Since 2014, DCIP has documented how “Israeli forces have increasingly targeted Palestinian children with intentional lethal force to quash protests”.
“Under international law, lethal force such as live ammunition, may only be used as a last resort and when a direct threat to life or of serious injury exists,” the NGO noted.

Political corruption, Bo Rothstein, (electronic resource)
The Resource Political corruption, Bo Rothstein, (electronic resource)
The item Political corruption, Bo Rothstein, (electronic resource) represents a specific, individual, material embodiment of a distinct intellectual or artistic creation found in Boston University Libraries.
Rothstein, Bo
Political corruption is a problem as old as society itself. As a fixture of political science and related disciplines, however, it is new and rapidly-developing, having only received very modest coverage until the late 1990s. The recent shattering of the taboo surrounding the discussion of corruption, largely attributed to its re-definition as an economic problem, has resulted in a torrent of new material on the subject. The most important of this has been brought together in this interrogative and authoritative collection. This Research Review assembles the best papers in the field into a comprehensive examination of political corruption and will be an invaluable resource for anyone interested in the subject

On Saturday 30 June 2012, Recruits Sean Hosey and Steve Marsling were interviewed, live, on BBC Radio 4's programme Saturday Live. Sean does a separate interview after the news interval, in which he reveals information about his treatment in prison that he did not reveal in his chapter of the book. Steve and Sean were both members of the Young Communist League. YCL London District Secretary Bob Allen recruited Steve, who in turn recruited Sean. On his second mission, in 1972, Sean was arrested in Durban, tortured, kept in solitary confinement, and jailed for five years under South Africa's Suppression of Communism Act. In this interview, he gives a very moving account of his experiences.
On this website are podcasts from the discussion and book launch held at the Centre for Conflict Resolution, University of Cape Town on 20 June 2012. Speakers include Aziz Pahad, Ronnie Kasrils, Ken Keable, Danny Schechter, Pallo Jordan and members of the audience.The meeting discussed the book and also wider matters.

During his visit to London in July 2012 for the official launch of the book and other events, Ronnie Kasrils took some of the Recruits on a guided walk through the parts of central London where he had taken many of them from 1967 onwards. In this video, he reveals some of the tricks he used to ensure that they could not afterwards remember where he had taken them.

Ken Keable writes,"I was prevented from attending this terrific event by serious flooding in Somerset, where I live. It is a pity, in my opinion, that no-one challenged the use of the word "Stalinist" at this meeting, when I am confident that none of the speakers would describe themselves with that term."

Dr Kevin Smith OAM – Member and Councillor of the Society
Sandakan – An Unanticipated Captivity
After their large scale success in the early months of the Second World War the Japanese found themselves with large numbers of Allied prisoners of war without knowing what to do with them. In July 1942 they began to transfer some 3000 Australian and British prisoners (mostly Australians) to Sandakan on the Island of Borneo to build an airfield. Some 2,030 of these were Australians, mostly from the 8th Division, AIF. Only 218 Australians survived their incarceration.
Dr Smith will describe the experiences of these Australians as they endured their three and a half years of horrific captivity from the Fall of Singapore in February 1942 until the final Japanese surrender in1945. He will describe events and conditions in the Camp and at work on the airfield, including the ninety odd attempts to escape along with the civilian resistance movement and its links with a similar group among the prisoners and the horrors of the Death Marches that characterised the approaching Japanese defeat.

MoveOn members: Urgent call on TPP/Fast Track needed today
The Senate has passed the dangerous Fast Track bill for the massive Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade deal—which means it's now up to the House of Representatives to stop this job-killing corporate giveaway.
Fortunately, we have a chance to stop this legislation. A vast majority of House Democrats and a significant number of Republicans have committed to rejecting Fast Track.1 The fate of this bill could come down to a handful of votes.
Can you pick up the phone, call Representative Gregory Meeks, and ask where he stands? When you call, say something like this: "Will you please reject Fast Track for the TPP—and side with the interests of regular Americans over corporate interests?"
If he is committed to saying no to Fast Track, thank and applaud him. If he is already planning to say yes, demand to know why. And if he isn't sure, let him know he has the chance to do the right thing—by committing to reject this job-killing legislation.
Here's where to call:
Representative Gregory Meeks
After you call, click here to tell us how the call went so we know where we stand in this fight.
That's why we're joining together with partners representing more than 15 million Americans in a national day of action to stop Fast Track for the TPP. As part of a diverse coalition of dozens of organizations, we'll be working with Democracy for America, CREDO, Daily Kos, SumOfUs, the Progressive Change Campaign Committee, Fight for the Future, and others to make calls to Congress today.
If the House approves Fast Track, it would allow the secretive Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade deal to be rushed through Congress, without amendments or sufficient debate.2
Given that the TPP is being negotiated behind closed doors—with the input of hundreds of corporate representatives, but shielded from the American public—we should make sure all details of this massive deal, and others like it, are given close scrutiny before rushing Congress to vote.3
It's frightening enough that we've already learned TPP contains provisions that would allow multinational corporations to challenge America's laws protecting consumers, workers, and the environment—and that these cases would be decided by unelected international tribunals of corporate lawyers.4
But just as scary: the next president and Congress could use this Fast Track authority to undermine Dodd-Frank financial regulations.5
Literally thousands of organizations—representing the labor, environmental, family farm, civil rights, digital rights, human rights, public health, consumer, faith, student, and other movements—have united to say NO to Fast Track.
The House doesn't yet have enough votes to pass Fast Track. And if the House doesn't pass Fast Track, we win.
Can you call Rep. Meeks now?
After your call, click here to report back on how it went.
Fast Track proponents want to move quickly. That's why we have to act just as fast. Let's make sure every member of Congress—whether for Fast Track, against it, or undecided—hears the national outcry today.

Basic Instinct DVD
This steamy thriller to end all steamy thrillers stars Michael Douglas as Nick, a boozy San Francisco police detective who finds himself drawn to the prime suspect in a murder case--manipulative, sexually uninhibited novelist Catherine Trammell (Sharon Stone). Catherine's latest book features a murder uncannily similar to the one Nick is investigating, and as the pair engage in a mating dance of dangerous one-upmanship, more murders occur, all described in her current work, about a boozy cop in love with a killer. Nick's psychiatrist (Jeanne Tripplehorn), and cop partner (George Dzundza) are both worried about him, and Catherine's jealous lesbian lover (Leilani Sarelle) may be trying to kill him, but Nick is just too turned on to care. Director Paul Verhoeven shows an admirable lack of restraint in this ludicrously enjoyable thriller, a sort of postmodern noir with Joe Eszterhas's script coming off like Mamet by way of Penthouse. Stone and Douglas exhibit fine chemistry (and most of their bodies), and there's some lovely Bay Area scenery courtesy of cinematographer Jan de Bont (who went on to direct films such as SPEED and TWISTER). Wayne Knight (Newman from SEINFELD) and Mitch Pileggi (Skinner from THE X-FILES) are precinct heads who question Catherine in the infamous leg-crossing scene.

About the American Sniper
As you know the movie has just been released about* *CHRIS KYLE**.
*To this day,* *no one in the White House* *has ever acknowledged Chris Kyle.* - his service, his death, his duty, his generosity, his caring, his life.
However, the President can call a sports person and congratulate him on his bravery for announcing to the world that he is gay. He can say on national television say that someone, a man who has committed a crime, and was shot by police in the line of duty, would have made him a good son.
The SEALS have asked that you please, keep this moving if you think Chris Kyle would have made a good son.
2/03/2015 03:30:00 AM | Key Words: BARACK OBAMA, Chris Kyle |
This entry was posted on 2/03/2015 03:30:00 AM and is filed under BARACK OBAMA , Chris Kyle . You can follow any responses to this entry through the RSS 2.0 feed. You can leave a response, or trackback from your own site.
He can say on national television say that someone, a man who has committed a crime, and was shot by police in the line of duty, would have made him a good son.
What the hell are they talking about here?
President Obama mentioned during the Trayvon Martin case that if he had a son he might have looked like Trayvon. He said nothing about him being a "good son". Trayvon had not committed a crime, and he was not shot by a police officer in the line of duty, he was walking in his own neighborhood when he was shot because an over eager wannabe cop ignored the instructions of the real cops to stay in his car and not cause trouble.
...after all, who wouldn't take pride in having someone who freely admitted that he enjoyed killing people as their son?
...the President can call a sports person and congratulate him on his bravery for announcing to the world that he is gay.
It IS brave of a sports person to come out as gay. Homophobic conservatives can't change that reality.
I fail to see how that action of Obama's has anything to do with whether Obama acknowledges or praises Chris Kyle.
False equivalency per usual, sent forth to reliably rile up bigots over nothing.
Doing a brief search on Chris Kyle and duly note that all the usual bs rightwing sites are foaming and frothing at the mouth about the absolute perfidy of Obama allegedly not acknowledging Chris Kyle, who, due to Eastwood's movie (I mean: would these dolts even KNOW about Kyle otherwise? doubtful), is the new All Murkin Hero for the next 15 minutes.
So all yews conservatives get your knickers inna knot bc Glenn Beck, etc, is directing you on your daily outrage at the N-word in "your" White House, whose latest disgusting behavior includes not singing Kyle's praises to the skies.
Geez. Don't these losers ever get tired of being told how to think, what to do, how to react?? Yeah: rhetorical Q.
For the record, I don't see Kyle as some latter-day savior whom we should all prostrate ourselves in awed veneration. Why? Kyle signed up for the job and apparently rather enjoyed murdering people in cold blood until he stopped enjoying it so much. Apparently was a skilled marksman.
War is nasty business, but make no mistake: it's BIG business for the 1% who employ citizens like Kyle to do the dirty wet work. I refuse to participate in venerating soldiers like Kyle bc I totally disagree with what they're doing, which, for the record, is NOT at all "making us safe from terrorists." If anything, Kyle's murders only makes us less safe.
It's good that Kyle attempted to work with other returned vets who had PTSD. Sorry that he was murdered, himself, but frankly seems like a karmic end to Kyle's life.
Clearly, Obama (I'm not a fan) can never do anything "correctly" according to conservatives, and this is just the latest chapter in the usual propaganda pyschobabble mainly bc of the movie. If Eastwood hadn't made that film, we wouldn't be seeing this whining lie of a RWF.
LiberalGunner said...
Didn't Michelle say she liked the movie and more should be done to help soldiers?
Yes, she did.
I haven't seen it yet, but I plan to.
Randall said...
They forgot to put in there “GO SEE THE MOVIE BEFORE OBAMA HAS IT TAKEN DOWN!!!!111!!”
How much have conservatives done to actually support returning Vets, especially those with severe injuries and/or PTSD? And I'm not talking about buying People Mag with articles about Vets.
Other than bitching about how Obama either has praised a marine/soldier that the rightwing think tanks have deemed "unacceptable" or has not praised someone that the rightwing think tanks have deemed "praiseworthy," what have these clearly non-Military types done to really "support the troops"?
Awfully hard to keep track of whom I'm supposed Like or defriend, per Facebook.
Talk about the 111th Keyboard warriors...

P.S. - So, the part where Super Sniper punched out Jesse Ventura was put in a book where evidence
was reviewed by a jury and found to be FABRICATED. So, what else is fabricated in this book?
Maybe it should be FICTION and not anything else. Something about this book smells like bee-esss.
If that part was made-up, what else was made up????? Besides, who knows if Chris'story
may have some truth to it, the facts are he was making stuff up where evidence was presented to a
jury and found to be false.
Gotta go with evidence, not how good a movie is.
Pls. understand that our government and its controlled media (FOX News, in particular) HATES Jesse Ventura,
because he's a public figure who has had the courage to express doubts and ask questions about the official version of
9/11 - THAT is the real story here. And Ventura was absolutely right to question 9/11. Chris Kyle was probably told to lie
about punching Ventura by his government/media handlers, in order to make Ventura look bad. But it backfired on them
when Ventura sued Kyle and the publisher of Kyle's book.
http://www.dallasnews.com/entertainment/movies/headlines/20150128-jesse-ventura-won-t-see-american-sniper-says-chris-kyle-is-no-hero.ece
P.S. - Believe it or not, I actually agree with you liberal assholes on this "Juan"!
Ventura is also right about this movie - it IS war propaganda - that much is obvious just from the trailers. Sensitive he-man
goes to war and kills over 200 people - men, women and children - from long range with a high-powered rifle, then comes
home to loving, understanding wife who forgives all. Can it get more blatant than this? Clint Eastwood should be ashamed
of himself for directing this blatant war propaganda film that my fellow rightwingers are just "eating up". Chris Kyle also faked his death with assistance from the government - there are many strange things about his supposed death which don't add up, and it was entirely too "convenient" given the pending lawsuit against him at the time. IMHO - Kyle is still alive, and probably still working for the government or a military contractor, using a new identity. Why would he fake his death?
Well, for one thing, many Iraqis probably wanted to kill him, and he was also facing a huge lawsuit for publicly lying about
punching out Jesse Ventura. Chris Kyle's wife gave a speech about Kyle shortly after his supposed death in which she was
smiling and laughing. Really broken up, eh? Reminds me of the laughing and joking Sandy Hoax parents.
Also, Chris Kyle was not the sensitive character portrayed in this movie - he was a stone-cold killer who had no qualms about
killing Iraqi women and children - he called the Iraqis "savages" in his book, and showed no remorse.
He obviously has no morals or character, and will do anything for money - the perfect undercover assassin. But Kyle should
worry, because the people he's working for are much more evil than he is, and will sacrifice him in a minute if need be.
Kyle knows too many secrets, and dead men tell no tales. Since he's already supposedly "dead," who would even know?
What does being a good son have to do with anything, and why would the SEALS care about that?

"It IS brave of a sports person to come out as gay. Homophobic conservatives can't change that reality."
Well, actually they could.
But then theyd have to stop being homophobic conservatives.
"Reminds me of the laughing and joking Sandy Hoax parents."
Heh...and you're worried about other right wingers making you look like a kook.

Ask a Dork: Hype Cycles
by Trent Seely · July 12, 2012
What do you think of hype cycles? How long out should a product be announced?
From a marketing point of you, hype cycles are a pretty novel concept. In very few industries can you simply release a teaser for a product that has yet to materialise and garner consumer interest. In many respects, a dynamic hype cycle can whet the palate of your audience more effectively than a single marketing campaign. By releasing early footage, mentioning features in interviews, providing screen shots, or allowing players to participate in an open beta, publishers can increase the likelihood of a title being positively received in the marketplace. But not all hype cycles are created equal and more than one studio has shot themselves in the foot by releasing too much content, too soon. So what makes a good hype cycle?
Well for starters, the game should be close to completion. One of the things that killed Star Craft: Ghost was that we saw too much when the title was still in its infancy. By releasing periodic videos and screenshots over the course of 4 years, Blizzard Entertainment pushed the hype machine past its capacity. They soon released that the market had unreasonably high expectations for what appeared to them to be a killer app. As a result, to match consumer expectations, Blizzard continually pushed back the title to meet higher development standards. Eventually, it must have appeared to the company that regardless of the games quality, it would never meet the hype and was promptly put on indefinite hiatus. The same can probably be said for Final Fantasy Versus XIII. We have been waiting seven years now for this title and only have a handful of trailers and screenshots to show for it. I once said that it was the only game that could make me want to pick up a PS3, but as time moves forward I can only see it becoming vaporware or moving to the next PlayStation console.
Tight deadlines and consistent vision are also important for a good hype cycle. Simply put, you want to ensure that the content you release to the public  represents the finished product and to do so you should likely avoid pushing back deadlines too far. Duke Nukem: Forever is probably the most obvious case of a project changing incredibly due to a lack of a stern deadline and trying to keep up with the hype. First images and videos for this infamous title displayed a futuristic world with starships, dozens of weapons, and crisp, realistic graphics. Flash forward nine years: suddenly, Duke’s world is comparable to ours in many respects, he was limited to two weapons at a time, had a recharging health bar (or ‘Ego’ in this case), and the title was considered by most people to be less-than-innovative. When 3D Realms posted the, “When it’s done” release date on their site for DNF, I doubt they realized what they had got themselves into. They moved away from creating their own title and suddenly became incredibly conscious of what the competition was doing (hence, lifting so many elements from Halo) and how much hype was being generated for their fledgling title. What’s worse is that they continually changed graphics engines year-to-year to keep up with the market (creating further development costs and slowing the game’s completion). In the end, Duke Nukem’s poor development schedule didn’t just shutter 3D Realms studio – It generated a derivative and subpar game.
The hype cycle should also start within a reasonable period before the title’s release (for argument’s sake, I’ll say a year). We’ve already covered a few titles that have had to contend with content being released way before the game was actually ready, but there has to be some time for hype to build in order for your game to have a positive release in the marketplace. Blades of Time is an excellent example of this. What? You’ve never heard of Blades of Time? That’s probably because Konami did NO marketing for the title until well after its release. In fact, their support was so horrible that Destructiod’s Jim Sterling decided to run an advertising campaign for them. That’s sad.
So, we’ve determined that a good hype cycle begins after a title is far into its development, relies on a firm development schedule and consistent vision, and still gives the game the time it needs to garner an audience before release. A perfect example of a game with a good hype cycle is Max Payne 3. Sure, people were concerned with the title at first because it was not being developed by Remedy, but as soon as they started seeing gameplay videos and developer diaries it was clear that the title would be a great game. Rockstar was smart in their release of information. Sure, it had been ages since the last Max Payne video game, but the mega publisher only revealed the existence of Max Payne 3 after it was pretty far in its development cycle. This meant that fans could get hyped for a game that wasn’t too far away from release. Low and behold, Max Payne 3 shipped three million units in its FIRST WEEK. Sure, the quality of the finished product had a something to do with why it sold, but I think the real driver had to be the game’s hype.

31 Lethal Couples You Don't Want To Cross
Nuhu Danamarya at December 16, 2018 8:55 pm .
Taking on one skilled fighter is hard enough, even more so when you have to take on two who are fighting not just for the safety of others, but for each other also.
Related: Enjoy UNLIMITED access to thousands of Movies and TV shows with Amazon Prime Video. WATCH ANYWHERE. CANCEL ANYTIME!
It can sometimes be a distraction to have a loved one there whom you're always watching out for but these lot have total trust in each other's abilities to handle themselves in a fight; in whatever form it comes.
This gives them an added clarity of mind seldom seen in lone fighters. If that is a good or bad thing depends on which side of their fists you're on. Without further ado, let's count down our favorite couples you'd do well to steer clear of in a fight.
1. Lorna and Marcos (The Gifted)
With just a touch, these lovebirds can conjure up a miniature version of the most beautiful phenomenon you'll ever see -- the aurora borealis. What are the chances that out of all the mutants out there, they'd find and fall in love with each other? It's fate, you guys. But those same abilities that produce that amazing sight can be utilized to devastating effect. Just ask all the Sentinel agents that have stood in their way.
2. Sara Lance and Ava Sharpe (Legends Of Tomorrow)
What started off as a slightly antagonistic relationship quickly turned into the best love story this show has ever done. Sure, the bar isn't that high, but it doesn't take away from the euphoric feeling you experience when watching these two lay the hurt on the baddies.
3. Mon-El and Imra (Supergirl)
Sci-Fi shows constantly play it fast and loose with the mechanics of time travel, but one thing that has remained consistent is how often it gives birth to complicated relationships. After Mon-El left Earth to escape Lead poisoning, he fell into a wormhole into the future where he married Imra -- a fellow member of The Legion. They returned to the present where their fighting skills were put to good use taking down the Worldkillers.
4. Sameen Shaw and Root (Person Of Interest)
Shaw is an expert in a myriad of martial arts techniques and has taken down bad guys three times her size. Root, while not at the same level physically, can ruin your whole life with the press of a button.
5. Hermione and Hiram Lodge (Riverdale)
It's a shame watching Hiram descend to such petty levels, expending significant resources trying to kill a teenage boy. Yet, somehow Archie keeps getting away, which kind of dampens the effect of the knowledge of how deep Hiram's mob ties run. But before he got out of prison, Hermione was the Armani-clad puppet master gracefully pulling the strings from behind her Gucci curtains, or whichever brand is the top dog in the curtain-making game these days.
6. Tulip and Jesse (Preacher)
To call Tulip and Jesse's relationship complicated would be the understatement of the year but they always have each other's backs whatever comes their way. Long may it continue.

First Day of School 2013-2014
We have officially started school and while it's been sporadic so far (due to our summer schedule) I love that we start during the warmer months and are able to do some school outside!!
Our first day of school was July 8th, Alexa's 5th birthday. My mother in law happened to be here that day and it worked out really nice that when I rotated time with the kids they were able to spend their free time with her!!
Our first day of school pictures turned out pretty cute I think.
Treyton is going into 3rd grade this year.
Alexa is starting Kindergarten, though she is doing mostly first grade work.
And our little Audrey is going to be doing preschool, which will mostly involve a focus on her speech therapy activities incorporated into other schooling (like numbers, letters and colors).
I'm hoping to get our curriculum list posted soon, but we'll have to see how motivated I get and how much time I get on the computer :)
Labels: First Day of School, Kindergarten, Preschool, Third Grade
For the Love of Lists: Field Trips 2012-2013
I kept this list updated as we took field trips throughout the 2012 - 2013 school year. Here is the (I think) complete list of field trips that we took.
Looking back it's apparent, we took most of our field trips, in the summer last year, before Titus was born.
Strawberry Picking and Harvesting (June 2012) – we picked over 35 pounds brought them home the kids helped cut them while we canned and froze our harvest.
National Railroad Museum (June 2012) – we visited the Railroad Museum, to see (touch and play in) some real historical trains, try to lift a steel rail and take a 25 minute diesel engine train ride. We thoroughly enjoyed this museum.
The Milwaukee County Zoo (August 2012) – this was a first for both me and the kids. Sadly, I’ve lived here since I was 8 years old and had never been to this zoo. My sister, Alana had talked about going this summer with our kids, so we decided to finish off our Animal Kingdom science unit with this field trip. Sadly, Audrey got the stomach flu 30 minutes after we got there, but we stuck it out (as best we could) and saw as much as we could.
The Chain O’ Lakes Boat Tour (August 2012) – an hour and half tour on the Chief Waupaca paddle boat of 8 of the 21 chained lakes found in central Wisconsin (near Waupaca). We did this while camping this past August and really enjoyed it.
Como Park Zoo and Conservatory in St. Paul, Minnesota (August 2012) – While visiting our high school friends we visited this zoo as a group. It was free and AMAZING. Everyone from around there calls it “small” but we didn’t think it was all that small, in fact, I’m pretty sure we didn’t make it through the entire thing – granted we had 7 adults and 8 kids, but still; it had all the animals you could want there (lion, tiger, orangutan – my kids personal favorite, polar bear, zebra, giraffe). Tim and I were certainly not disappointed and neither were our kids.
Hands-On Art Studio (September 2012) - which is exactly what it sounds like. While we were there Treyton welded and decorated a metal sunflower for our flower garden, adding color all throughout the winter. Alexa and I painted some pottery - Alexa a three piece tea set, me a large bowl and pitcher (LOVE them). I LOVE this place and I plan to visit again…. soon I hope.
The Farm (September 2012) - in Door County we visited, they had a petting zoo and allowed you to feed the animals. Our favorite was feeding the baby goats (oh my word, cuteness!), we walked around touring the historical buildings, their garden and nature. A very fun field trip.
Education Performing Arts Shows
Imaginocean (November 1st)
Treyton and Alexa
A Little Princess (December 12th)
Treyton
Charlotte's Web (February 8th)
Guess How Much I Love You (February 20th)
Shanghai Circus (March 6th)
Three Little Pigs (March 22nd)
Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, Very Bad Day (April 16th)
In addition to these Treyton also went to see the Broadway show "The Lion King" with his Aunt. He said that one was for sure his favorite. Out of the other ones, we both thoroughly enjoyed the Shanghai Circus.
Piano Recital (April 2012) Treyton had his piano recital towards the end of April, and while that in itself doesn't constitute a field trip, the content of this particular recital did. There were 15 students ranging in ability. The kids were able to see simple recital pieces all the way up to very complex recital pieces. It was encouraging for Treyton to realize he's only been practicing for 2 years but if he continues to practice where he will one day be.
VACATION FIELD TRIPS - We took a family vacation in early May to San Antonio, Texas (with a few other stops and detours along the way). Traveling across the country gives you so many opportunities for field trips!! We really enjoyed it.
Sea World in San Antonio (The kids FAVORITE, they are still talking about the whales and dolphins!!)

When industrial pollutants finally make the air unbreathable, we will be advised to cover the cities over with plastic domes and air-condition them. Technological optimism is the snake oil of urban industrialism.
Suddenly, it becomes a subversion of progress to assert the common-sense principle that communities exist for the health and enjoyment of those who live in them, not for the convenience of those who drive through them, fly over them, or exploit their real estate for profit.
Once, perhaps, the God-intoxicated few could abscond to the wild frontiers, the forests, the desert places to keep alive the perennial wisdom that they harbored. But no longer. They must now become a political force or their tradition perishes. Soon enough, there will be no solitude left for the saints to roam but its air will shudder with a noise of great engines that drowns out all prayers.

J. Robert Oppenheimer, witnessing the first test of a nuclear weapon, confessed to tasting sin. But he and all his colleagues knew from the beginning what lay waiting at the end of the project. And which was the stronger flavor, the sin, or the satisfaction of having stolen fire from the gods?

Charlaine Harris quotes in russian
thinking you
you me
And that's your fantasy? That I come into your house naked and have sex with you?"After that, you tell me that you have sent Eric on his way, that you want to be mine forever, and that to share my life you will permit me to make you a vampire like me."The silence now was thick, and the fun had drained out of the fantasy. Then Bill added, "You know what I'd say when you told me this? I'd tell you I would never do such a thing. Because I love you. Charlaine Harris
Sookie, it is not your blood I love. I love you. Your heart, your mind, your soul... you have brought light back into my life Charlaine Harris
I drank lots of water and orange juice and took a multivitamin and iron supplement for breakfast, which was my regimen since Bill had come into my life and brought (along with love, adventure, and excitement) the constant threat of anemia. Charlaine Harris
Oh. No wonder I'd been sick. I hadn't eaten anything since then. I'm a girl who likes her meals, so it hadn't been a weight-loss tactic. I'd just been too busy bumping from crisis to crisis. Go on the Sookie Stackhouse Narrow Avoidance of Death Diet! Run for your life, and miss meals, too! Exercise plus starvation. Charlaine Harris
I love him," I said, but even to my own ears I didn't sound happy about it. Charlaine Harris
sarcastic love
We came to wish you a happy day,” Eric said. “And I suppose, as usual, Bill will want to express his undying love that surpasses my love, as he’ll tell you—and Pam will want to say something sarcastic and nearly painful, while reminding you that she loves you, too.” Bill and Pam looked decidedly miffed at Eric’s preemptive strike, but I wasn’t going to let anything dim my mood. “And what about you, Eric?” I asked on counterattack. “Are you going to tell me that you love me just as much as...

great mother
I'll show up at every classroom open house and teacher conference,' she said, now in a voice that was almost frightening in its intensity. 'I'll bake brownies. My child will have new clothes. Her shoes will fit. She'll get her shots, and she'll get her braces. We'll start a college fund next week. I'll tell her I love her every damn day.'If that wasn't a great plan for being a good mother, I couldn't imagine what a better one could be. Charlaine Harris
time love
Well in two months, it'd be sunbathing time. That made me smile. I enjoyed lying in the sun in a little bikini, timing myself carefully so I didn't burn. I loved the smell of coconut oil. And I don't want to hear any lectures about how bad tanning is for you. That's my vice. Everybody gets one. Charlaine Harris
The sweetest part of being a couple was sharing your life with someone else. Charlaine Harris
loving memory
As I watched Bill, waiting with apparent calm for death to come to him, I had a flash of him as I'd known him: the first vampire I'd ever met, the first man I'd ever gone to bed with, the first suitor I'd ever loved. Everything that followed had tainted those memories, but for one moment I saw him clearly, and I loved him again. Charlaine Harris
.. I suffered with you. I hurt with you. I bled with you -not only because we're bonded, but because the love I have for you." ~ Eric Northman in Dead in The Family. Charlaine Harris
By the way, I haven't heard an 'I'm sorry' from you yet." My sense of grievance had overwhelmed my sense of self-preservation. I am sorry that the maenad picked on you."I glared at him. "Not enough," I said. I was trying hard to hang on to this conversation. Angelic Sookie, vision of love and beauty, I am prostrate that the wicked evil maenad violated your smooth and voluptuous body, in an attempt to deliver a message to me."That's more like it. Charlaine Harris
Was I just curious about what the agenda might be at a vampire summit? Did I want the attention of more undead members of society? Did I want to be known as a fangbanger, one of those humans who simply adored the walking dead? Did some corner of me long for a chance to be near Bill without seeking him out, still trying to make some emotional sense of his betrayal? Or was this about Eric? Unbeknownst to myself, was I in love with the flamboyant Viking who was so handsome, so good at making... Charlaine Harris

Electron cryomicroscopy
From Proteopedia
(Redirected from Electron cryo-microscopy)
proteopedia link proteopedia link
Single-particle electron cryomicroscopy (cryo-EM) has become an important method for determining macromolecular structures. It is the basis for the 2017 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. Although resolution is usually poorer than that obtained by X-ray crystallography, cryo-EM has the great advantage of not requiring crystallization[1]. Cryo-EM is particularly suited to determination of the structures of large complexes containing multiple proteins or nucleic acids, often the most difficult to crystallize.
For a quick overview of the method, see this silent 3 min video by Gabe Lander. For a historical view of the development of modern cryo-EM, see this scientific background for the 2017 Nobel prize. For a more detailed discussion, see this primer[2]

Docking crystal structures into cryo-EM maps
Early studies showed that docking of monomer crystal structures into even poor-resolution (e.g. 15 Å) cryo-EM maps of larger assemblies could reliably predict structure[3]. Subsequently, many methods, including docking while allowing flexibility in the monomers, have been developed[4].
In 2018, the median resolution of cryo-EM structures deposited in the Protein Data Bank was 3.8 Å (improved from 4.2 Å in 2016)[5]. For comparison, the median resolution of X-ray crystallographic entries in the PDB has been 2.0 Å for many years[5]. When resolution improves by a factor of 2, the available data (to support the coordinate model) goes up by a factor of 8. For example, a 2.4 Å resolution structure is a great improvement over a 3.0 Å resolution structure because the number of available measurements doubles.
A direct comparison between the quality of cryo-EM structures and crystal structures is not possible. In crystal structures, the electron density is calculated from measured structure factors and from calculated phases (in the most extreme case, half of the information is not available from experiment). Even in cases were there are experimental phases (e.g. from multiple isomorphous replacement), these are typically not available to the full resolution. Especially at resolutions below 4 Å, X-ray structures are prone to model bias in the absence of experimental phases. Cryo-EM does not have this limitation, so low resolution structures can still carry reliable information, for instance about conformational changes of known structures. For example, a 4 Å crystal structure solved by molecular replacement (i.e. no experimental phases) is not as reliable as a 4 Å cryo-EM structure.
Temperatures (B factors)
PDB files for models determined by cryo-EM often specify values in the temperature/B factor field. However, a 2017 analysis concluded that "the treatment of the atomic displacement (B) factors was meaningless in almost all analyzed cryo-EM models"[6].

Protein Identification
In the 21st century, the amino acid sequence identity of a protein is nearly always known before its structure is determined. This is because the gene is usually cloned, the protein expressed and purified, prior to crystallization. However, it is also possible to purify macromolecular assemblies in which the proteins are not identified in advance, and determine their structures by cryo-EM. If sufficient resolution is achieved (~3.5 Å or better), candidate amino acid sequences can be matched, or excluded, as components of the structure. Thus, typically combined with mass spectrometry, cryo-EM can help identify which proteins are present in a structure[8].
An example is the electrically-conductive protein nanowires made by bacteria, notably Geobacter sulfurreducens. Cryo-EM structure revealed that some of these fibers are assembled from C-type cytochrome OmcS[9][10]. This was a surprise since they had long been thought to be assembled from a completely different protein, pilA.

↑ Obtaining highly-ordered crystals is perhaps the major obstacle to determination of structure by X-ray diffraction. Less than half of cloned, expressed, purified proteins are sufficiently soluble for structure determination. Of these, diffraction-quality crystals are obtained for only about one in five.

This be the NEXT GENERATION ROLEPLAY
Subject: Re: This be the NEXT GENERATION ROLEPLAY Tue Jul 27, 2010 12:46 pm
((When he gets there, yeah. I'm gonna enter Fang and Rory now, and they'll fly them over))
"See this, Rory? It's Trial Island. Where Cromera used to be."
The two Salamences, with the exact same colouration (just the younger one didn't have the leaf-shaped scars), soared overhead, crossing where Vinetail and Hissi were.
"Hey, look, it's Vinetail! VINETAIL!" The elder Salamence, Fang, pulled the other Salamence down into a dive, and landed with a thud next to Vinetail.
"Can I go home now? I'm tired of meeting your friends. They're old and boring." Rory refused to say 'hi' to Vinetail.
"Oh Rory, don't be such a grump. We're not that old!" Fang gave Rory an evil eye, then turned to Vinetail, who, having just remembered who Fang was, explained to Fang what had just happened.
"Now that is bad! Could be another Cromera uprising! Anyway, if you're looking for Pokemon Square, you're going the wrong way. It's over the other side of the Mainland, remember? We'll take you...and Hissi...over." Fang glared at Rory as he rolled his eyes impatiently, as if to say, 'not another oldie'. Hissi had caught up now, remembering Fang too.
"Come on Rory. We're going to Pokemon Square now. Take Hissi, she's younger." Fang launched himself into the sky again, with Vinetail, followed closely by Rory and Hissi. "First stop, Pokemon Square!"
In the island's volcano, something stirred. A Charizard, awakening from a very long sleep.
The ground rumbled. The volcano began to puff out ash, along with small amounts of lava, like a gigantic nose being blown. By the time the Charizard had awoken from his slumber, the volcano was spewing out ash and lava strongly, the valley below being filled up with lava.
"I've got a feeling that I'm the last flight out of here." The Charizard, Inferno, started to run. As soon as he was outside the volcano, it began to explode, truly erupting now. It made him look like some sort of hero flying out of a villain's trap that involved petrol and flames out of a movie.

Yuri sighed, "Well, I myself hope he stays gone. He's let me down so many times I've had enough," she stomped out of the room. Ruki looked at her mother and then back at Griffin.
"Mount Horn? Wow!" she said.

Seren glanced out the open door after Yuri and sighed softly, grabbing some toast.
"Poor girl," she said, shoving the toast into her mouth.
Gwen nodded excitedly. "Yeah, aren't we Mam, Dad?!" she cried, glancing from her parents to Ruki.
Seren laughed in a half-hearted way. "Maybe," she muttered, through a mouthful of toast, "I was thinking something a big steadier..."

((For some reason I'm thinking of giving Tyra an Australian accent. o-O))
"Wow, look! I've never seen Salamences before! Or...have I?" As Tyra's forgotten past confused her, Cyber stopped eating and gazed up at the Salamences, who were just coming over the horizon."Wow, Cyber's actually not eating sugar for once!" Tyra had noticed that he hadn't put sugar over his breakfast, as usual.
"They're no normal Salamences! It's Rory and his 'daddy' Fang! HEY! RORY!" Cyber called out to the Salamences, but they seemed not to notice.
"Too far away, dumbo. S'pose I'll stock up on Berries and Seeds while you wait for Rory." Tyra stormed off into the square, in the direction of the Market.
Yorick had crossed the Trial Sea by now, and saw the Salamences take off with his victims.
"So that's how they want to play, is it? Flee from Cromera? Ha." Yorick used his Brave Bird move to take to the skies on the turbulence made by the Salamences, then crashed into Rory, who was sent tumbling, with Hissi holding on for her life, but not screaming. "See you down there!" Yorick plunged down with Hissi and Rory, towards the Apple Woods below.
Cyber saw one of the Salamences fall, along with two other figures. He grabbed a bit of paper that Tyra had insisted on carrying, and started to write a rescue request.
"I never thought this would come into use." Cyber hurriedly wrote the messiest rescue request which, if you weren't dyslexic, you could just about make out as:
'Save my friend!
A couple of minutes ago, I saw one of my green Salamence friends fall from the sky along with two other Pokemon. I think they were around the Apple Woods area when they fell.
- Cyber the Weavile
P.S. If one of those Pokemon is Yorick the Blaziken, don't lead him here. You'll recognise him because he's black where he's supposed to be cream.'
He then folded it up, wrote 'Team Eclipse' on the back and slotted it through Team Eclipse's letterbox, crossing his fingers that it would be answered straight away.

Ryo sighed. "Yeah. Wish I could do something about it, but whenever I meddle with things it always turns out... well, bad."
Gryffin did an excited little hop. "It would be soooo cool if we could explore Mount Horn."
"Well, whatever Seren's feeling up for I'm okay with," said Ryo quickly.
Subject: Re: This be the NEXT GENERATION ROLEPLAY Thu Aug 05, 2010 12:46 pm
"Yeah, I'm up for it, if I must," Seren said, sitting up straighter.
She grabbed some more toast and shoved it in her mouth, before adding, "I could do with the exercise." She patted her belly with a playful wink.
"YAY!" Gwen exclaimed, "We can go!"
Subject: Re: This be the NEXT GENERATION ROLEPLAY Thu Aug 05, 2010 1:04 pm
Cyber couldn't take it any longer. Tyra hadn't come back, and he'd waited ages. He sprinted out of the Square, in the direction of Apple Woods.
'I may be impatient' Cyber thought, 'but this is going a little too far!' He and Tyra often fell out over little things like this, but always made up again. Anger coursing through him, he hadn't gone far when his conscience told him, 'You're overreacting.'
He actually listened to his conscience for once. He stopped, waited for calm, then turned back to the Square.
'I probably can't make it alone anyway.' he thought. 'Especially not with Yorick around.'
The crash seemed to shake the Earth. And, to humiliate Rory further, Hissi and Yorick landed cleanly, making him look like some sort of clumsy buffoon.
"Okay, okay, you win. You're not that old." Rory growled slightly as he lifted himself. The crash had wounded him badly, and Hissi had no chance against this fiery fiend.
"Quite the...um...humiliatingly clumsy one, aren't you. Now I've got you, I can take you back to Cromera! Ha!" Yorick charged at Hissi, using Flare Blitz to cloak himself in flames. Closer and closer, until...

Lidl sighed, and jumped from her chair. "Come on, Luke, we're going out."
The zigzagoon blushed deeply and began to stutter, "B-but you're my parallell self! O-or I-I'm y-you're p-parallel s-self! T-that's n-not r-right!" Lidl rolled her eyes, strutted over to Luke, and slapped him on the cheek. "You twat. I meant going out as in, we're going out of the door. Out to town. Leaving the house temporarily. Capire, stupido?" She grabbed the highly embarrassed furball out of the door, and into the street. "B-but, L-lidl, we don't have any money to spend!" Luke whined.
"That's why we're seaching for jobs." Lidl answered exasperatedly. She let go of Luke and searched around the local billboards for any job offers. There had to be some jobs available somewhere.

"I'd like to come! I'd like to come!" Ruki kept on jumping up and down. She then stopped and looked sad, "But I'm not sure Mom will let me. She's been so moody lately and she won't tell me why."
There then was a knock at the front door.

"We'll convince her Ruki, don't you worry!" Gwen exclaimed, her tail wagging madly.
"Yuri?!" Seren called, hearing the knock at the door, "Could you get that?"
Subject: Re: Next Gen RP Mon Aug 09, 2010 4:38 pm
Ruki smiled.
Just then there was a shout of, "Where have you been?!" from Yuri and an answer of "Erm... out..." which was unmistakenly Fudge.
"Yeah, and if that doesn't work, we'll drag you along so she'll have to let you come!" Gryffin's eyes got all crazy like every other time he got fired up like this.
Ryo sweatdropped at the twin's antics, but his ears twitched at the sound of Fudge's voice. "Er, should I go say a friendly 'hello'?" He asked Seren.
"Yeah!!" Gwen cried.
Seren sighed lightly and pulled herself out of bed.
"Might as well," shr said with a slight shrug, "Before Yuri rips his throat out!"
Ryo gulped. "No crime scenes here, kaythanks." He walked over to the door to see Yuri and Fudge ((am not describing their expressions in case I get something wrong in assuming...)). "Hello, Fudge," Ryo said, raising a paw in greeting. "I hope you're doing well."
Fudge, seeing Ryo, decided to use the lucario as an escape from his angry wife. "Oh hi Ryo, can I talk to you about something?"
"Don't walk away from me Antonio Fudge Brown!" Yuri yelled, following her husband.
Hope came in at that exact moment, "Am I interrupting anythign?"

Fang landed smoothly in the square and dropped Vinetail off. He was about to leave for Rory when Cyber ran up to him.
"You going to help Rory? There's no need. I sent one of the big, famous rescue teams a letter asking for his rescue."
Fang rolled his eyes and paused for a moment, before saying, "I heard that Vinetail was considering coming back to Team Eclipse after being on Trial Island for so long. Bad things are starting to happen there. If you've been paying attention in history lessons then I'm sure you'd know why."
"History lessons? Come on, I'm not that young!" Cyber gave Fang a nudge as Tyra reappeared from the shop. "Oh, not again. Bought the whole shop, have you?"
"No. Just getting a suitable breakfast for you tends to cost a lot." She dropped the bags of food and other supplies by Cyber's feet, then restrained him before he went for the chocolate raisins and the toffee apples.
Inferno was flying over Apple Woods now, and saw the commotion at the clearing. Wounded Salamence. Defenceless Grass-type being attacked by a Pokemon in a Flare Blitz. He dived, to take the attack at the last minute. Already weak, he was struck down by the Flare Blitz. He wouldn't be of any more use.
"Ahahaha! Only a one-use weapon, I see! Unlike Flare Blitz...I can use it until I'm outta power!" Yorick drew back again, preparing to charge. The flames engulfed him, and...
((I just got addicted to cliffhangers!))
Ooc: I'M BACK ROLEPLAYING GUISE, BE AFRAID.
Alec and Clare sighed as door after door was slammed in their face. Alec sat down on a nearby park bench and took a sip of water. "Maybe we should call it a day, sister..." He suggested, hands fidgeting nervously, like a child scared of being told off for giving the wrong answer to a teacher. Something snapped in Clare, which showed Alec that it was clearly not the right answer. "Call it a day? How can we give up on the great lord Arceus? Brother, don't tell me you've given up hope?" There was a tone of anger in her voice, but it was quiet and soft; something many would find weird, but something Alec was very much used to.
"You're right, sister. I'll go search for someone who would be more willing to step into the light!" The Kirlia pressed his hands to his temples and shut his eyes. Many pictures swarmed in his mind, as he searched for a place to go. He opened his eyes, now glowing bright blue, took hold of Clare's hand and dissapeared with a small flash.
ooc// Uh, should I introduce the Arceus of Fail for the lulz?
Ooc: If you want :>
It'd be funny if Alec and Clare finally meet their god, and he's all like: DERP.

"Bored, bored, bored..."
The Munchlax swung his foot back and forth as he draped himself lazily on the sofa. Unlike most Munchlax, he was bright white where he should have been teal and was a paler yellow on his mouth and chest. His bright pink eyes stared at the ceiling blankly, as he continued to moan, "Bored, bored, bored..."
"Snowy, please stop the complaining?" a female Skitty asked him, a soft tone to her voice. Like him, she was white were she should have been pink and a pale tan on the rest of her body.
Snowy simply pouted and replied, "But I'm bored! Seriously, we're a rescue team, how come we don't get any calls for rescue?!"
"Perhaps it you got off of your fat arse once in a while, you could go to the Post Office and get some missions yourself!" the Vulpix snapped angrily. Once again, she had pure white fur, except for the pale grey markings on her belly and paws, along with her six tails. Her eyes were slightly more reddish that Snowy's.
"Luton, can it!" Snowy growled, rolling over onto his side.
Luton sniffed angrily. "No I will not Snowy!" she growled.
"Don't start fighting again, please!" the Skitty, Liliana, begged, letting out a small sigh as she did so.
Luton nuzzled her slightly as a form of apology. Snowy grunted slightly and rolled back over onto his back. There was silence for a bit, until...
"I'm still bored!"

That is, until a bunch of thunderclouds gathered and struck down to the ground, revealing...
"I LIIIIIIIIVE!" A pearly-white creature reared... and promptly fell over. "DAMN THESE SPINDLY LEGS. THEY ARE TOO PUNY FOR AN ALL-POWERFUL BEING LIKE MYSELF."
This was the day the self-proclaimed God of all Pokemon decided to come down to earth to see how things were going. His name? Arceus.

With another blue flash, Alec and Clare appeared outside a small house. "Is this where we shall start gathering poor souls who haven't seen the light that shall deliver them from evil yet?" Clare asked, staring at all the graffiti, litter and shady creatures hanging around.
"N-no..." Alec stammered.
"Well, why are we here then?"
"I was interrupted during teleportation...by a message, a vision."
Clare gasped, heart racing with excitement.
"Was it...from him? The great white one?" She questioned, trying to keep her calm. In response, Alec nodded slowly. "We must go to him at once. He has summoned us." He took the Froslass' hand again, and dissapeared with a flash.
When they reappeared, they immediately got to the floor and bowed to the pearly white beast that stood before them. "O' great Arceus..." Clare began, "O' great white one! Deliver us from greed and evil! May the world bask in your coat of elegant white, and may the blackness and evil be vanquished!"

Arceus smiled, pleased that his worshippers had finally come. Well, he was probably smiling. It was kind of hard to tell.
"EXCELLENT. THE BLACKNESS AND EVIL OF THIS WORLD'S DESTRUCTION IS IMMINENT, NOW THAT I HAVE ARRIVED," He boomed. He could have been an announcer for some kind of sports stadium without a microphone, and everyone would hear him perfectly. "...ALTHOUGH, I HAVE A FAVOR TO ASK."
He wiggled around in his pathetic position on the ground and a frustrated frown (possibly?) appeared on his face.
"COULD ONE OF YOU PROP ME UP? THIS FORM IS RATHER UNCOMFORTABLE. AND FLIMSY. I HATE IT."

"Yes, oh holy one!" Alec and Clare said in unison, rushing to their savior's side. Alec closed his eyes and concentrated his mind onto holding the God pokemon up in the air. Soon enough his Lord had begun to float slightly off the ground. "What else is it that you desire, O' White one?" Clare asked, begging to be of assistance.

Biodiesel requirement takes effect (story audio)

Biodiesel requirement takes effect
by Mark Steil, Minnesota Public Radio
by Tim Pugmire, Minnesota Public Radio
Gov. Tim Pawlenty traveled the state Thursday to promote Minnesota's new law requiring diesel fuel sold here to contain 2 percent biodiesel-- which is made from soybeans. (MPR Photo/Tim Pugmire)
Starting Thursday, nearly all the diesel fuel sold in Minnesota must contain at least 2 percent biodiesel, a farm-based oil made from soybeans.
Worthington, Minn. — State officials are celebrating the start of a new requirement Thursday that all diesel fuel sold in Minnesota contain 2 percent biodiesel.
During an appearance outside a school bus garage in Mendota Heights, Gov. Tim Pawlenty said the nation has been asleep at the switch when it comes to energy policy. He said the country is addicted to foreign oil.
"We have to find a better way. We have to find other sources of energy and fuel. And biodiesel is a tremendous opportunity for our state to once again lead the nation to a brighter and better future with respect to energy policy," Pawlenty says.
State Agriculture Commissioner Gene Hugoson says critics of the mandate wrongly predicted that biodiesel would be too expensive to use.
"My understanding is that this last week the wholesale price of diesel fuel in Minneapolis, delivered to Minneapolis, was $2.39 a gallon. The same price for biodiesel was $2.00 a gallon. So, it's cheaper," Hugoson says.
The law is the biggest step forward yet for the state's biodiesel industry, and it makes soybean farmers happy because it provides another use for soybeans and helps boost grain prices.
But the change is not welcome news for truck drivers, who rely on diesel to fuel their vehicles. They're concerned the new requirement could raise the price they pay for diesel fuel, and they call it unnecessary government mandate.
When the law was passed three years ago, it spurred construction of several biodiesel plants in the state. Southwest Minnesota farmer Bruce Hill heads the board of Minnesota Soybean Processors, which makes biodiesel in the town of Brewster.
"We are currently running 100 to 105 percent capacity," says Hill.
The plant is one of three in the state. The others are in Albert Lea and near Redwood Falls. Hill says, combined, the three will produce more than 60 million gallons of biodiesel a year, four times what's needed to meet the 2 percent mandate. Hill says much of the Brewster plant's output goes out of state.
"Illinois, Iowa, California. It's getting out there a ways," says Hill.
Minnesota is the only state requiring biodiesel. Still, use of the fuel is growing nationwide, mainly through government involvement. A growing list of states, cities and counties burn biodiesel in their trucks or buses. The U.S. military is a big user.
Renewable, non-toxic, bio-degradable, American-grown fuel if you would.
- Paul Nazzaro, Advanced Fuel Solutions
Country singer Willie Nelson made a big media splash this year when he introduced a biodiesel blend called "BioWillie." He's selling the fuel to truckers.
The increased demand means more production plants are being built in states like Iowa, Colorado, Mississippi, Texas and Georgia. Like the Minnesota facilities, they're looking for new places to sell.
One possibility is the nation's diesel fuel supply. Starting next year, what's called ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel will be phased in across the U.S. The switchover will take several years and is designed to reduce air pollution.
Al Mannato of the American Petroleum Institute says removing sulfur lowers the "lubricity" of the fuel -- it makes it less effective as a lubricant in the engine.
"Sulfur is a natural lubricant in diesel. And the diesel engine needs that lubricity," says Mannato.
Mannato says biodiesel is also a lubricant, so adding a small amount to ultra-low sulfur diesel would solve the lubricity issue. However, Mannato says biodiesel is more expensive than other additives, which might limit its use.
"Companies will be looking state by state and area by area -- what is the most cost-effective solution to dealing with lubricity," says Mannato.
One plus for the biodiesel industry is the federal energy bill passed last summer, which requires increased use of renewables like biodiesel and ethanol in the nation's motor fuel supply. It's possible some refiners will use biodiesel as a lubricant to help them meet the renewable requirement.
The Brewster biodiesel plant
Another major area of interest for biodiesel producers is the home heating market. Paul Nazzaro heads Advanced Fuel Solutions, a Massachusetts-based promoter of renewable energy. He says adding a small amount of biodiesel to traditional heating oil reduces pollution.
Nazzari's company surveyed consumers and fuel dealers. He says they're willing to pay a little extra to get a renewable blend.
"They were willing to swallow a 4-5 cent premium to get a blend of biodiesel in their home heating oil, to get those benefits," says Nazzaro. "Renewable, non-toxic, biodegradable, American-grown fuel, if you would."
Nazzaro says his company is having success selling a home heating oil that's 5 percent biodiesel. He says most is sold in the northeast U.S., but he says a few companies in the Midwest are offering the blend.
That's the sort of news which encourages biodiesel producers like those in Minnesota. They believe public opinion is on their side. They say consumers seem willing to pay more for a product that reduces pollution and lessens the nation's reliance on foreign energy.

Empowerment of people through Media and Information Literacy (MIL) is an important prerequisite for fostering equitable access to information and knowledge and promoting free, independent and pluralistic media and information systems.
Media and Information Literacy recognizes the primary role of information and media in our everyday lives. It lies at the core of freedom of expression and information - since it empowers citizens to understand the functions of media and other information providers, to critically evaluate their content, and to make informed decisions as users and producer of information and media content.
Information Literacy and Media Literacy are traditionally seen as separate and distinct fields. UNESCO’s strategy brings together these two fields as a combined set of competencies (knowledge, skills and attitude) necessary for life and work today. MIL considers all forms of media and other information providers such as libraries, archive, museums and Internet irrespective of technologies used.
A particular focus will be on training teachers to sensitize them to the importance of MIL in the education process, enable them to integrate MIL into their teaching and provide them with appropriate pedagogical methods, curricula and resources.
UNESCO’s mission is to engender media and information literate societies through a comprehensive strategy which include preparation of model Media and Information Literacy Curriculum for Teachers, the facilitation of international cooperation, development of Guidelines for preparing national MIL Policies and Strategies, articulation of a Global Framework on MIL Indicators, setting up a MIL University Network, articulation of and establishment of an International Clearinghouse on MIL in cooperation with the United Nations Alliance of Civilizations, and provision of Guidelines for Broadcasters on Promoting User-Generated Content and MIL.

Please click the button below for further details of what our Structural Engineering Report service covers....
"Just a quick note of thanks for all your effort and support in achieving a satisfactory completion at the above. I met with the Building Inspector this morning and everything was finally passed and the Completion Certificate will be issued this afternoon. Please pass on my gratitude to anybody I have missed off the list. Thanks again, Regards Nigel"
"All is great and has gone to plan, it's being tiled next Wednesday. Thank you for your help and fast response and I'll use you guys in the future. John Hulme, Disley"
"Dear Alastair, I just wanted to report that all work here is now complete and we've recently had everything signed off by the building inspector. The disruption is behind us now and we are delighted with the end result which was delivered within budget. I know the loft conversion was particularly challenging given that we wanted to maintain sufficient head height for it to be a habitable room, so thank you for making it all possible through your structural design. On seeing the floor steels in place the building inspector grinned and commented that the design was \"ingenious \", and had never seen anything quite like it in his 15 years as a building inspector! Thanks for being so reliable and dependable throughout the process, and for helping to make it all possible. Aside from what you delivered, what I most appreciated was your communication which was honest, rapid and unambiguous; attributes which can all too often be in short supply these days."
"Thank you so much for getting the work done so quickly.The Award has been received in the post, thank you for issuing it in a prompt timely manner & thank you for all your help in resolving the issue!"
"Thank you for all your help in resolving the issue!I cannot thank you enough for your assistance with this...I totally appreciate it and if you could pass my huge thanks and regards on to the Structural engineers I would be most grateful, ...I’m sure you can understand how delighted and relieved I am that you could help me."
"I couldn’t be happier with Peter’s visit. He was extremely helpful and was able to answer all my questions thoroughly. The advice and recommendations he provided was just what I needed. I’m really impressed."
"This work is super. Many thanks for your excellent, speedy service."
"Thank you,that's exceptional service - I appreciate you turning the job around so quickly."
Our chartered structural and civil engineers offer a full range of professional services which deliver neat and easily-buildable solutions. We offer a speedy service and work for many different types of customers, so click on the images below, or use the side menu, to find out more.
Involving us at an early stage of your project can save you money. Whether you want a new building, and extension, a gym or games room in the attic or even a swimming pool in the basement, we can reduce your costs by designing out hidden problems.
We work with building owners and developers, local authorities and contractors on new-build, extension and refurbishment projects. Our work covers commercial, industrial, retail and leisure buildings, plus care homes, theatres, schools and hospitals.
Whether working directly for fabricators and contractors, or as part of an architect and local authority team, we provide designs for specialist structures including timber bridges, steel and aluminium canopy frames, shelters and handrailing systems.
Preparing design calculations and drawings for Building Regulation submissions forms the major part of our work but we also advise on party wall issues, check local authority calculations, complete structural engineering inspection reports and carry out geo-environmental and site investigations.
As structural and civil engineers we are an essential part of the construction process of any new or refurbished building or structure. Working from the architect’s drawings or our own site measurements, we design the structures and site-specific foundations needed to carry the superimposed loadings .
Our design calculations and drawings enable surveyors to estimate construction costs and are used by builders and contractors during the construction process. We work with both home owners and commercial property professionals, providing Structural Engineering Reports, Party Wall assessments and conducting site investigations. We pride ourselves on collaborating with all members of the construction team to produce cost-effective and easily buildable solutions. Our software design packages produce calculations to both British Standards and Eurocodes. Our AutoCAD or hand drawings are suitable for submission to Local Authorities for Building Regulations approval.
We work right across the UK, either from drawings or from site visits as required.
We also work directly for fabricators and contractors (see ‘Specialist Structures’).
Our team includes both chartered engineers and MEng graduates working towards chartered status under the direction of a chartered engineer. Being chartered ensures that we adhere to the stringent professional standards laid down by either the Institution of Civil Engineers or the Institution of Structural Engineers and work in a manner that benefits our clients. Our work is fully covered by Professional Indemnity Insurance. We have considerable experience in all aspects of structural engineering design and civil engineering projects and can ensure that there is always someone available to answer your technical queries or visit your site. We can save you both time and money by using our experience to compare alternative solutions to identify the most cost-effective one for your project.

Shining Resonance Refrain demo hits PS4, Xbox One & Nintendo Switch today
June 12, 2018 by George
If you have any of the three modern consoles you will be able to play SEGA’s upcoming Shining Resonance Refrain for free! This will let you see if the game is for you, giving you hands-on time early. How early? A month early considering that the full game hits America and Europeans on July 10, 2018!
Sadly there is no demo announced for the Steam or PC version of the game, which sucks if you are a PC gamer only. But three out of four platforms isn’t too shabby by SEGA. Are you going to be giving Shining Resonance Refrain a chance?
Yakuza 6 demo returns to the PSN Store
March 19, 2018 by George
As we found out with the initial release of the Yakuza 6 demo back in late February that SEGA accidentally uploaded the full game for free. Sony got around to actually revoking full access to the game when users connected to the internet and pulled the ‘demo’ off the store. Sony has finally announced the return of the Yakuza 6: The Song of Life demo on the PSN store.
Like we covered before, the demo weighs in at over 36 GB because you are technically downloading the full game but its being locked down to a certain point. If you like the game, you can buy it digitally and unlock the full game, no more downloading required. Not only that, you can continue the game right where the demo leaves off. You can also check out my review for Yakuza 6, as you can see I really liked it.
Yakuza 6 full game ‘demos’ being revoked by Sony
March 1, 2018 by George
According to users on ResetEra, if you go back online with the Yakuza 6 full game ‘demo’, which SEGA released the other day, they will revoke the license transforming it back into a demo. Of course if you want to bypass this and play the full game all you need to do is not connect to the internet.
I’m personally glad to see that the PlayStation 4 has the ability to do something like this, considering that I want the franchise to do well in the West. It would really hurt sales if thousands upon thousands of would be costumers unlocked the full game for free. Even if you got the full game and are planning on playing it early by not being connected online, I urge you to support the series by at least getting the game physically when it comes out in April!
Yakuza 6 demo pulled from PSN due to it being the full game
[Update: Have confirmed that there was no exploit, SEGA just uploaded the full game onto PSN instead of a demo. Way to go!]
Oops, if you read our story about the Yakuza 6 demo coming to PSN today and happen to be wondering why it isn’t showing up on the in-game store, now we know. According to Destructoid, the game unlocked the full version (for free) when downloaded. According to Destructoid (and SEGA) people used an exploit and according to other users on twitter it was never locked down (seems doubtful). If you didn’t know the demo weighed in at more than 36GB, of course this mean’t the demo was the full version of the game locked down as a ‘trial’. Once you purchased the full game come April, it would unlock the full game without re-downloading the data. SEGA posted on their Facebook about pulling the demo but didn’t go into detail.
This also puts into question why SEGA would delay Yakuza 6: The Song of Life from March to April, if the game is translated and playable already. Some people think that maybe SEGA had manufacturing issues with the physical copies of the game that lead them to delay it so everyone gets the game day one. Maybe they thought it would sell better if it was delayed, though this doesn’t make sense considering Sony’s God of War is also launching in April. But it seems that some people have unlocked the full game already, thanks to this exploit and are enjoying it for free. What are your thoughts? Did SEGA screw this up?
Valkyria Chronicles 4 getting Japanese PSN demo on February 26
Oh boy, SEGA is releasing these Japanese demos faster than I can keep up. Just a few days ago we got the Hokuto ga Gotoku demo on Japanese PSN, now less than a week from that one we will be getting a Valkyria Chronicles 4 demo. According to SEGA they will be unleashing the playable demo they have been showing at events in Japan. The demo releases on February 26, 2018.
According to early players, the demo allows users to play from the prologue all the way through chapter 2. It also seems that the save data can be transferred over to the full game when its released (in Japan). So if you are going to import the game, you can continue where the demo ends and not replay it from the start.
Valkyria Chronicles 4 on PlayStation 4 is launching in Japan on March 21, 2018. As for us Westerners, we get the game later in 2018 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch. I also hope SEGA releases a similar demo for all platforms, since I think it will move more copies.
Hokuto ga Gotoku demo hits Japanese PSN later today
If you have been waiting to get your hands on Hokuto ga Gotoku, the Yakuza Studio’s take on a Fist of the North Star game, you won’t have to wait that long since the demo is launching in Japan on February 22nd! Considering how time zones work, if you live in America it should be later tonight.
If you live in America (like me) it will hit the Japanese PSN store at 5:00 pm PT/8:00 pm ET.
The demo will include
“Experience Hokuto Shinken” – Learn the game systems by battling Shin. Includes a battle tutorial.
“Experience the Story” – Play a side mission from the game. This mission will have Ken driving a buggy, fighting scoundrels, and exploring Eden.
Hokuto ga Gotoku will hit PlayStation 4 in Japan on March 8, no release dates announced outside of Japan. Yet SEGA was (not so) quick to announce Shining Resonance Re:frain, so don’t count this game out yet.

Border Break PS4 Japanese open beta schedule revealed
January 19, 2018 by George
It is finally happening, we will finally be able to enjoy Border Break. At least, if you want to play on Japanese servers since we still haven’t gotten a confirmation if this game is getting a release outside of Japan. I’ll be honest, its frustrating to see all these tiny Atlus 3DS RPGs getting day one western announcements and a SEGA-AM2 arcade port being met with silence.
The Border Break PS4 beta client will be up to download starting February 1st around noon JST. The following is the schedule for actually trying the game:

A Certain Magical Virtual-On Demo Out Now on Japanese PSN
December 13, 2017 by George
If you have been excited to try the upcoming A Certain Magical Virtual-On for the PlayStation 4 or PlayStation Vita, the demo is now available. As for sizes of the demos, the PlayStation 4 comes in at 2.37 gigabytes and the PlayStation Vita version hits a much smaller 431.55 megabytes. The demo will feature all 13 playable Virtuaroids from the full game, include a tutorial and CPU battle mode. No online, of course.
SEGA is set to release A Certain Magical Virtual-On in Japan on February 15, 2018. SEGA West hasn’t announced any plans on localizing it. The last Virtual-On title to come West was Cyber Troopers Virtual-On Oratorio Tangram port on the Xbox 360 back in 2009, so its been awhile. I say make a Japanese PSN account, try the demo and if you like it, bother SEGA to release the game West.

December 9, 2017 by George
SEGA has now revealed that the demo for A Certain Magical Virtual-On will hit Japanese PSN for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita (yeah, you read that right) on December 14. It was revealed by series producer Jurou Wataru via Dengeki Online.
The demo won’t feature online battles, but will have a tutorial explaining the games mechanics and CPU battles. The game will allow you to mess around with all 13 Virtuaroids that will be available in the full game. A Certain Magical Virtual-On is set to release on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita on February 15, 2018 in Japan. No Western release plans have been announced yet. How many of you guys will be trying the upcoming demo?
Yakuza Kiwami 2 demo available now on Japanese PSN Store
November 21, 2017 by George
The demo for SEGA’s upcoming remake of Yakuza 2, being called Yakuza Kiwami 2, is now available for you to download via the Japanese PSN store. The demo will weigh in at 9.89 gigabytes and allow users to play through some of the main game’s story. SEGA has confirmed that Yakuza Kiwami 2 demo saves will not transfer over to the full version of the game.
If you never made a Japanese PSN account, I suggest giving some YouTube guides a quick look, it isn’t hard to do. I would say its worth it just to try out some upcoming Japanese game demos. Its free, nothing to lose. Yakuza: Kiwami 2 hits Japan on December 7, no western release date has been announced as of posting. But don’t be surprised if we get an announcement sometime next year.

SEGA has released the Sonic Forces demo in Japan on both the PlayStation 4 and the Nintendo Switch. The demo will let you play through three separate stages, one for each playable version including Modern, classic Sonic and avatar hero. Each stage is on a timer.
As for both demos, the Nintendo Switch version is 573MB in size while the PlayStation 4 version comes in at 1.9GB in size. That’s quite the difference. Will you be making a Japanese account on either consoles to try out Sonic Forces? Or will you just wait for it to be released in English?
SEGA News Bits: Sonic Forces PSN Trophies Leak, Reveals New Info
October 9, 2017 by George
Welcome to a new SEGA News Bits, today we will be discussing the Sonic Forces early PSN trophies leak that happen yesterday. On this episode I’ll be going through all the interesting information that the leaked PSN trophies revealed including Silver Moon Rings, Secret Stages, Daily Missions, and lots more. So tune in and let us know what you think of Sonic Forces’ PSN Trophies and are you planning on getting a Platinum on it? Let us know in the comments below.
Sonic Forces PSN trophies leak early, teases at unannounced in-game content
It seems that Sonic Force‘s PSN trophies have now leaked via PSN Profiles, a website dedicated to listing PSN trophies for easy tracking. According to the website Sonic Forces will have 46 trophies in total including: 32 bronze, 10 silver, 3 gold, and of course 1 platinum. The trophies hint at the game having more in-game content, including ‘secret stages’ and ‘EX stages’. It seems that the game will also have a lot of things to collect in-game from red rings, number rings, silver moon rings, wispons, parts, and a lot more. Seeing what the trophies are made up of, I’m pretty sure this listing is legit. But since its not 100% confirmed by SEGA, believe at your own risk.
Another interesting thing on Sonic Forces is some of the ‘daily missions’ and ‘SOS missions’ that have been revealed via the trophies. I assume the daily missions will have some sort of online functionality where you get different rewards for completing missions given by the game? It seems that the big three trophies to collect are the gold ones and those are collecting all wispons, beating all challenge missions and collecting all the silver moon rings. You can check out the Sonic Forces PSN trophies over here for yourself. Are you planning on getting a platinum in Sonic Forces?

Yakuza Kiwami 2 demo hits Japanese PSN in late November
Yakuza Kiwami 2 is coming out this December 7th in Japan, so SEGA is starting to get their hype train going over there. They have promised a Yakuza Kiwami 2 demo by the end of November, starting on December 2nd to the 17th, SEGA will be launching TV advertising campaign for the game. SEGA will also be holding signing events in November.
As far as what the demo will contain, that is all a mystery but I hope it gives us a glimpse at some of the Goro Majima content that is exclusive to this title. This will also give us a look to see how this title is running on the Yakuza 6 Dragon Engine, since this is the second title by the studio to use the new engine. The first Kiwami game actually ran on the Yakuza 0 engine.

The classic rebound Priyanka Chopra and Shahid Kapoor break up
The classic rebound Priyanka Chopra and Shahid Kapoor’s break-up
Music and bliss love is a many-clichéd fairytale experience for most Gen X teenagers, who’ve fallen hard and fast. Such emotional exaggeration comes back to bite once the magic is lost. For the young and the brave in love, overwhelming romance can quickly turn into the pain of break-ups and betrayal.
But on a sunnier flipside, teen hearts nowadays are healing quicker, contrary to earlier, more sentimental times and generations. Classic example: Priyanka Chopra and Shahid Kapoor’s break-up.
While PC chose to sulk and keep hush, Shahid made a move on the first lass who came his way, Genelia. The two were spotted canoodling soon after the young Romeo’s break-up. And the — separately — happily every after story of Ranbir and Deepika, soon after their break-up is as well known.
This new rebound trend seems to be catching. “The easiest way to get over somebody is to get under somebody,” says Prerna Erms, 17-year-old college student. “You direct your attention towards someone else. It works like a charm and is so much better than sulking around!” she laughs.
“Teens need space to weather these storms,” suggests psychologist Dr. Sona N. “After all, they need to learn these vital coping skills. But don’t discount the youngsters’ feelings just because they are young! They feel deeply because they are young! And parents need to soothe the young wounded spirit. Distraction and preoccupation of any sort is good during heartbreak. Having a confidante? or even an admirer? can uplift the zest to press on.”
Ritesh Mandal, 16, has an interesting twist on ‘rebound’, calling it the concept of a ‘break-up buddy’. “My girlfriend of two-and-a-half years and I broke up on mutual terms. I got through the grieving period quickly because I started hanging out with a friend with who, out of the blue, I got into a relationship,” he says.
But there are the ‘Old School’ die-hards who find it hard to move on after a break-up. People like Madhumitha Das, who says, “I withdrew and couldn’t stand the company of anyone at all. I am starting to recover slowly, and have come to value my friends more.”
Yet, she says, “Relationships and serious commitments are totally off limits now; casual flirting and easy chat-ups are so much more convenient and easy on the heart. No-strings attached!”

Shahid Kapoor & Priyanka Chopra are not in a relationship
Shahid Kapoor & Priyanka Chopra are not in a relationship : Priyanka Chopra very often makes news for her on and off relationship with Shahid Kapoor. Neither Priyanka nor Shahid confessed about their love affair in public till date. This time Piggy Chops spilled the beams about her relationship with Shahid online and revealed that she is not dating the ‘Kaminey’ actor.
On her voice-blog, she recently said that she is often linked with Shahid because they share a great rapport. She added that their friendship often gets misunderstood as something else. She also said that if someday she finds her boyfriend, she would not hide behind curtains and lie but would share the good with her fans.

Thiel: These are not happy times for the Pac-12
From international shoplifting to federal felony indictments to bad bowl play, the Pac-12 has taken a pounding. Now a hoops coach is being unkind to his lodge brother.
Penn State RB Saquon Barkley at the Fiesta Bowl was one of many opponents to run over the Pac-12 during the bowl season. / Drew McKenzie, Sportspress Northwest
The college football season ended Monday night in Atlanta with Alabama’s 26-23 victory over Georgia for the national title. Fun game. But for denizens of the Pac-12 Conference, they wished the season had ended right after the regular season.
That way, the critics could only speculate on the dubious competitive worth of Pac-12 football in 2017, instead of having it confirmed across the fruited plain by a 1-8 bowl record.
Sylvester the Cat had a better record against Tweety Bird.
Utah, 3-6 in conference play, was the lone victor, beating, I believe, the Trump University Geniuses 7-4 in double OT in the Underwhelm Bowl.
In setting the worst bowl mark for a Power 5 conference (the Big Ten went 1-6 in 2008), the Pac-12 was outscored by a combined 87 points in the nine games.
Washington State’s 25-point loss to Michigan State was the worst of the worst, while Stanford and Arizona lost by two and three points respectively. Arizona State, UCLA and USC lost by 21, 18 and 17 points.
The 12th-ranked Washington Huskies’ 35-28 loss loss to ninth-ranked Penn State in the Fiesta Bowl looks respectable in the record book, but closer examination reveals the Huskies 10 days later are still picking rocks and sand from their flesh after being road-rashed into the desert floor in Arizona.
Earlier in the otherwise commendable 10-3 season, the Huskies burped up some unpleasantness when coach Chris Petersen’s unprompted complaints about so many night games drew mockery and scolding from ESPN broadcasters, who normally are shills for everything and everyone in the industry it virtually owns.
The dope-slapping from TV personalities Kirk Herbstreit (“they should be thanking us”) and Chris Fowler doesn’t happen to the other conferences. But three times zones away from Bristol apparently is the minimum safe distance for igniting oral ordnance on the left coasters.
Coupled with the episode in which the telecast of Washington’s large game at Stanford didn’t begin until the second quarter because FS1 wasn’t done showcasing a sparsely attended NASCAR truck race, and the league suddenly appears to outsiders as if it operates out of the trunk of a 1958 Buick Bulgemobile.
But football wasn’t the only reason 2017 was, for the Pac-12, dismal.
Men’s hoops provided a shiner in October when three UCLA players were busted in China for a shoplifting spree that became an embarrassing international incident.
Commissioner Larry Scott loves the Pac-12’s forays into China because it looks like progressive 21st-century branding. But when the host nation speculates that the five-finger discount is a degree program at American colleges, Scott looks like he’s taking marketing lessons from United Airlines’ passenger-dragging department.
On a much higher (lower?) level in September, the Pac-12 found itself deep into the scandal of the sports year — the FBI investigation that uncovered mass corruption, bribery and wire fraud among top college hoops programs engaging with shoe-company goombahs. Federal charges were brought against assistant coaches in four big-time programs, including Arizona and USC.
Thus the Pac-12 had half the field in the Penal Four.
An explainer, via si.com, of the charges and indicted individuals can be found here.
Naturally, the head coaches in all four programs claim innocence, ignorance and disbelief at what has gone on at the hoops casinos on their watches. But that doesn’t mean their Pac-12 rivals aren’t using the pending cases to their advantage.
Saturday in Boulder, 10-6 Colorado upset 14th-ranked Arizona 80-77. After the game, Buffs coach Tad Boyle was remarkably candid in his delight at sticking it to the alleged outlaws from Tombstone.
Asked if he took extra satisfaction in beating Arizona as the scandal hangs over the program, Boyle said, “Absolutely. It’s ironic we’re playing Arizona. I’ve got great respect for (head coach) Sean Miller and the type of coach he is. They recruit very, very well. USC has recruited very, very well. The two most talented teams in our league from top to bottom are USC and Arizona.
“So, hell yes, there’s extra satisfaction. I’ve got great respect for Sean, helluva coach. I’ve got great respect for Andy Enfield. But to answer your question: Hell. Yes.”
Boyle’s boldness is certainly admirable, but Scott has to be shocked that one of the lodge brothers has gone rogue on the premier hoops program that is already hip deep in federales.
The breadth and depth of the FBI investigation suggests that a whole lot more programs than the four so far identified are at risk of discovery for similar misdeeds. Scott and Boyle both have to hope there’s no funny shoe money being passed to recruits in Boulder.
But at least Boyle’s indiscreet contempt will make for some compelling theater at the rematch in Tucson Jan. 25. The apprehension about that day is obvious: FS1 might find another truck race to broadcast instead of the post-game fistfight between Miller and Boyle.
It’s true that the events of the last several months are random, and somewhat beyond the reach of a league commissioner. At least Scott can sleep comfortably knowing that the revenues produced by his major achievement, the Pac-12 Networks, are keeping schools and fans happy.
Oh wait . . .

“Utah, 3-6 in conference play, was the lone victor, beating, I believe,
the Trump University Geniuses 7-4 in double OT in the Underwhelm Bowl.”
It’s sentences like this that have made me a fan of Art’s for the last 30 years. That, and his old guest spots with Robin and Maynard. Hilarious! Bravo!
Tian Biao
agreed! that comment was supposed to evoke humor, not ire. it made me laugh anyway, along with many other nuggets. As to the Pac 12: i’m beginning to nurture a vague dislike of commissioner Scott. The apparent failure of the Pac 12 Networks, the lousy penalty-filled football officiating (and the secretive overviews of that officiating), the blithe dismissals of fan concerns over late start times, the back-to back Friday night road games, the unevenly distributed bye weeks, and somehow just his air of shallow confident salesmanship. maybe i’m misjudging him. but still . . .
He’s made the athletic departments much wealthier since his arrival, but not nearly as much as his contemporaries have done for the other conferences.
The TV scheduling for fans who actually want to attend is remarkably off-putting, not to mention for coaches, as Petersen will tell you.
And it’s really aggravating to have football players get home at 3 a.m. Sunday and jump right into next week.
Hey, an R&M fan. Them’s was good times. Roy Otis remains alive in our hearts.
So does Tuba Man. RIP
Richard Peterson is still around.

Art went metaphor crazy today. Love it.

Really? I thought it was 304-227 against the Clinton Foundation Crooks in the BleachBit Bowl.
Ain’t it fun to mix in partisan politics with our sports.? Sure is.
It’s also part of pop culture, unless you’re a see-no-evil kinda guy.
Art, Mission complete. Thanks for the final ding on PAC-12 network. I wasn’t sure if you’d get there. I’ll never doubt you again! ;^)
I was going to do more, but then I realized that nothing has changed since I last wrote, and nothing will change despite whatever anyone writes about it. Kind of like Congress.
WestCoastBias79
When is the clock up on Larry Scott? I’m hard pressed to think of something the conference does right. Officiating has been a joke as long as I can remember. The conference seems to schedule to make it harder on their top tier programs (UW and USC were both hosed by their schedules). The Pac-12 network is a failure, and to try and make up the missing revenue from the network, the conference is ESPN’s (keeping it clean) female dog. I could go on…
Scott has a deal that lasts until the sun goes supernova, and the chancellors and presidents like his work because the Pac-12 Networks are a giant infomercial for the schools. Doesn’t mean anyone is watching outside of football and some men’s basketball, but they don’t seem to care.
Robin & Maynard
WOW! Tweety Bird, Roy Otis and Richard Peterson in the same clump. And speaking of RP, won’t you join all at Vito’s Monday Jan. 29th 7:00 PM for a classic Peterson concerto.

Ch9: Hidden Doors and Impossible Rooms pt2
Posted on January 28, 2016 by Thaumaturgical_Support — No Comments ↓
Kyle sat and thought about that for a long time. Alison had him. An impossible room, in the parlance of magic, was any spell which made a space that was persistently and obviously abnormal but confined to a single discrete area. Such rooms came in all manner of flavors, in some time was messed up, or gravity didn’t work right, but the most common sort warped geometry. They, like the spell Jessie channeled her excess magic into, made something bigger on the inside than the outside.
Such an effect, almost by definition, twisted spacetime. As such, the Rooms or at least many of them, could be entered from anywhere and exited to anywhere with the correct modifications to the trigger. If the Children had such a room… Well they wouldn’t be able to go just anywhere, there were still magic nullification spells, guards, and other means of protection, but it was a pretty generous bus pass.
So Kyle sat and worried and tried to decide what to do. A little while after Alison left Fern came in and started cooking breakfast. Something, probably the smell of it, was enough to lure Lynn in. That might have been her plan because she’d made extra and she served him some without asking if he wanted in. Lynn looked grateful.
It was enough to make Kyle feel like a third wheel and that reminded him of something. He wasn’t alone in the operation. He stood, and went looking to see if Jessie was back from her run.
It didn’t take Jessie at all long to decide what she wanted to do. She asked, “Are these rooms illegal.” They weren’t, as Kyle explained because there was nothing inherently harmful about them and they were quite useful. In fact, few people who had one would have risked committing a crime with it because they were too valuable. It would be kind of like using a Rolls as a get-away car. Given that, Jessie had wanted to report in and then scrap the mission. She was, as she unashamedly put it, bored stiff with the op and she figured at this point they’d proven there was nothing to fear in the group, or the group suspected them too much to reveal anything. Either way they were “wasting time with a bunch of weirdos” and she “didn’t want to lose any more of her life learning musty dead languages.”
Kyle wasn’t willing to go quite that far, but he did arrange for a meeting with Agent Sandborn. That wasn’t hard. They’d been letting meaningless little status reports trickle up through Richard and Amadeus ever since agreeing that the agency might have a leak. The man must have been getting antsy to speak with them because he responded that he’d meet with them the next day if they could swing it. They could, of course, it wasn’t like it could blow their cover, so sandborn arranged a secure teleconference and then sent them an address and an appointment time.
“Is this it?” Jessie asked Kyle as they stood outside the unassuming looking building in the strip mall near the business district.
Kyle Looked down at his phone again and then shrugged. “It’s the right address.”
Jessie looked up at the door again. The strip mall they were in was pretty nice. It had that alpine village thing going where every store was fronted with stone and the otherwise flat roof of the long functional building had been made to looked peaked with fancy frontages. As such, the blank-faced shop really stood out. “We should go in,” she said.
“Yeah,” Kyle answered but didn’t open the door.
Jessie shook her head. You’d think that after all that had happened he would be better about walking into a strange store. Yes, they might have inadvertently found the mall office and maybe someone inside would tell them to go away, but that was about the worst that could happen. She nudged him out of the way and stepped inside.
The inside of the building actually had signage. There was a big banner over the reception desk that read TeleConnect. They were in the right place. Kyle walked up to it and said, “We have an appointment for a virtual meeting room.”
“Party name,” the attractive young woman manning the desk asked.
“Sandborn.”
“Room three, down that hallway. I have six individuals joining the meeting today. Four in person, two remote. If that’s correct you’re the last locals to arrive.” She smiled broadly, and Kyle started back the way she’d indicated.
Jessie hesitated at the desk for a moment, “Why don’t you guys have a sign out front?”
The receptionist kept her face straight but her smile got just a bit stiff. Maybe she’d been asked that question a few more times than she would have liked. “Well, we’re new of course, so that’s part of it. But we did have a sign. It’s just it only gave the company name and we got a ton of people wandering in assuming we sold cell phones. I think they’re putting in something that explains we do secure business meetings. It’ll be up next week.”
Jessie nodded, and then hurried after Kyle who was already inside the meeting room.
The inside of the room wasn’t what Jessie had been expecting which had been something along the lines of a standard conference room: big table, bunches of chairs, and boring empty walls. It had two out of those three things, but the walls were covered in strange triangle sponges. She must have been looking at them rather obviously because, someone spoke from the direction of the conference table. “That’s sound proofing. Fairly good sound proofing, actually, once you shut the door no one outside of this room should be able to hear what’s said.”
Jessie turned, “Charles! I didn’t know you were in on this.”
The man scowled, “I almost wasn’t. Richard let me know what was going on, and I decided to join. This foolishness has been going on longer than I initially expected it would, and I want my apprentice back.”
“And your favorite femme fatale bounty hunter, right?”
“Of course,” Charles shot her a warm smile.
While they were talking Kyle walked over to where Charles was sitting. He swept his hand through the older man’s shoulder then unnecessarily announced, “You’re an illusion.”
Charles raised his eyebrows. “Yes, that’s the ‘tele’ part of this conference.”
Kyle leaned forward inspecting the illusion with a professional eye, “This is really good. It looks like…” He trailed off and Jessie didn’t get why until Charles responded.
“Your technology? Yes, actually, it is. While you’ve been away, and thanks to the work of your investors, K&J has been able to release a number of new light producing effects onto the market and secure a relationship with this start-up. There are only a couple of dozen locations so far, all small, and their agreement with K&J hasn’t substantially increased the bottom line because licensing fees don’t kick in until TeleConnect has had some time to become profitable, but it’s still a rather exciting development. Don’t you think?”
Jessie mentally translated that: The archmagi decided to pump a bunch more spells out of Lux and drop them onto the market, and for this particular application we’ve used the spell you fake stole a while back.
She looked over at Kyle, he was looking just a bit poleaxed. Eventually he said, “I didn’t get any updates on that.”
“Yes,” Charles said rather forcefully, “you didn’t, because you’ve been undercover and it’s been interfering with things. As I said, this is taking far too long.”
Jessie raised a hand, “Hear hear!” Richard and Amadeus also nodded.
”Wait a second,” Kyle said. “So I’m the only one who who thinks this mission even might be worth continuing?”
Jessie watched as a slightly awkward silence stretched out in the room. At length Richard shifted slightly and then spoke, “Well you know I never wanted you to go back in after you were caught in the first place. Given that, and how little you’ve learned over the past few weeks, I’m pretty sure this is pointless.” He made a helpless gesture, “You did everything you could, you know. Some ops don’t work out.”
There was a round of nods around the table and Kyle looked somewhat crestfallen. Jessie was a little surprised by that. She hadn’t realized the whole thing meant much to him in the first place.
There was a loud ding from the speaker in the center of the room and a recorded, cool, professional voice stated. “Another participant is joining the conference.” Then the voice changed to a man’s and that speaker said, “Agent Sandborn.” The female picked up again, “To prevent this participant from joining press the pound button on the conference phone in the next 10 seconds to accept now press star.”
Kyle leaned over and pressed star; there was a second ding. The acoustic foam of the room vanished as a wave of illusion washed up it and suddenly it looked as though there confrence table had been transported to the top of a mountain somewhere. They set on a thin rocky plateau surrounded by sky and the distant peaks of other mountains. Mist was blowing past a few hundred feet below, but around the table all appeared sunny and calm.
The illusion wasn’t perfect but it was darn good. Jessie recognized Kyle’s tech. She wondered if there was going to be much money in the deal. There was every possibility the chain of teleconference facilities wouldn’t take off, but on the other hand it might gain traction as a way to interview people or make contracts without traveling. She’d already almost forgotten that Charles wasn’t in the room.
“Hello All,” Sandborn said from where he now set at the foot of the table. “I guess I’m the last to the party?”
Though Kyle stayed silent Charles nodded. Sandborn’s features tightened at that. Jessie supposed it was a bit rude of Charles not to let Kyle speak for himself. Well, and also to horn his way in without an invite.
Sandborn turned to face Kyle more directly, “Well I don’t want to keep you away from the group too long or at least not longer than whatever story you told will support. What do you have to report?”
Kyle sighed and answered, “I don’t think that’s going to be much of a problem. The Children know I’m spying on them. They don’t know I’m at this meeting, but our infiltration was never successful.”
Sandborn took the news with an odd passivity. He raised an eyebrow and said, “Really? What’s been going on all this time? No, scratch that. Just start at the beginning and tell me what happened in your own words.”

Samsung Launches the New Exynos 990 Mobile Processor
October 24, 2019 October 24, 2019 Ajibola Adeosun 0 Comments Exynos 990 features, Exynos 990 processor, Exynos Modem 5123, Samsung Exynos 990, samsung processor
After launches and updates of different flagship series, Samsung is now focusing on the next-level of intelligence. The company announces the brand new Exynos 990 chipset, likely to be Samsung’s flagship SoC for 2020.
Samsung announced the new Exynos 990 mobile processor at its Samsung Tech Day 2019. The new Exynos 990 is expected to power flagship Samsung phones in the near future, perhaps starting with the Galaxy S11 series.
Features of Exynos 990 Processor
The Exynos 990 processor features the 5th generation custom CPU for ultimate computing power required for the complex use cases in the 5G era. Exynos 990 is based on a 7nm EUV process and might comes with next-gen 5G Exynos Modem 5123.
The chip can be paired with the also newly-announced 5G-capable Exynos Modem 5123. Hence, there is the probability that we will see a 5G variant of the Galaxy S11 and perhaps the whole range may be 5G connected.
According to Samsung, the Exynos 990 mobile processor is designed with a powerful AI processing capability. Thus, mobile experiences will evolve to meet the new aspects of mobility in the era of AI.
The Exynos 990 is a 7nm EUV octa-core chipset in a tri-cluster format consisting of two new custom Exynos M5 cores. These cores are stated to be 20% faster than the M4 cores on the Exynos 9820. Samsung has also retained an octa-core design, as the processor’s CPU featuring two high-performance Cortex-A77 cores designed by the company itself, and four Cortex-A55 cores for efficiency.
The Exynos 990 keeps its dual-core NPU, but the DSP is improved. Samsung says it can perform over ten-trillion operations per second.
The Exynos 990 sees a big GPU upgrade in the form of the new Mali-G77 in an MP11 configuration. Exynos 990 ARM’s Mali G77 GPU is based on the British chip giant’s Valhall architecture, improving graphics performance or power efficiency by another 20%. Although, Samsung doesn’t usually, disclose the clock frequencies of any of its CPU clusters, but, tech experts said it is around 13%.
The Arm Mali™-G77 MP11 GPU offers ultimate 3D graphics processing for a realistic and immersive gaming experience. The Valhall architecture is a new superscalar engine that delivers another leap in performance density and energy efficiency. Furthermore, combined with powerful CPU and LPDDR5 support, the Exynos 990 enables seamless gaming experience with less lags and faster loading speed so you can jump right into your favorite game and start leveling up in no time.
One of the major upgrade of the Exynos 990 compare to Exynos 9820 and Exynos 9825 is that its transit from LPDDR4X memory to LPDDR5 memory. This allows the new chipset to increase the memory controller frequency from 2093 MHz to 2750MHz and we’re also expecting the new DRAM technology to bring power efficiency gains to the table.
It can support memory bandwidth with LPDDR5 which supports data rates of up to 5,500 megabits/second, with displays with a 120 Hz refresh rate and a smartphone with a camera with up to 108 MP resolution.
Furthermore, the LPDDR5 enables a smartphone to efficiently transfer massive amount of data needed for 5G communication, AI applications, graphically demanding games, ultra-high resolutions videos, and more.
Although, Samsung did not confirm the Exynos 990 will be having the new Exynos Modem 5123 capabilities since, the company is launching the new Exynos Modem 5123 as a new discrete chipset.
For Security, the Exynos 990 features a new architecture and cutting-edge technologies for enhanced security, to keep user’s information safe and secure.
The memory protection technologies, such as a DRAM encryption engine, are upgraded to protect data safer with faster processing speed. Along with Physically Unclonable Function (PUF) that generates a unique key based on the physical properties of each chip, the newly added integrated secure element (iSE) layer stores and handles personal data separately from the OS environment.
Samsung’s new 5G modem: Exynos 5123.
The new 5G modem offers a complete multi-band solution which covers everything from 2G to 5G, in both mmWave and Sub-6 flavors. It is capable of communicating through the sub-6GHz 5G spectrum. The modem, like the Exynos 990, is also fabricated on 7nm EUV.
“Samsung’s Exynos 990 and Exynos Modem 5123 are perfectly adapted for high-volume 5G and AI applications, and are designed to help the world’s most ambitious enterprises, large and small, achieve their goals of bringing new capabilities to their markets,” said Inyup Kang, president of System LSI Business at Samsung Electronics.
The Modem supports theoretical data transmission speeds for 4G LTE to go up to 3Gbps downlink and 422Mbps uplink. Download speeds in mmWave will also go up to 7.35Gbps and 5.1Gbps in the sub-6GHz setting with 8x carrier aggregation.
Samsung Exynos Modem 5123 also supports E-UTRA-NR Dual Connectivity (EN-DC), which combines LTE and 5G connectivity to maximize downlink speeds. The 7nm EUV fabrication process should help in improving battery efficiency.

Unlikely Saint by Allan Connor
Willis Cameron needs a fresh start. Estranged from his overly-controlling father and heartbroken over the loss of his first love, Willis decides to take a job in Ghana, West Africa, as an education specialist for a Canadian government project.
Once in Ghana, Willis meets Esther Ferguson, a missionary nurse. Although she is engaged to be married to a doctor back in Canada, Willis finds himself strangely attracted to her as she challenges his agnosticism. As Willis struggles to find purpose and meaning in his life, Esther grows confused by her increasing regard for Willis. Is her commitment to her fiancé faltering? Could she be falling in love with a man who doesn’t share her faith?
In the midst of Ghana’s social upheaval and political turmoil, Willis and Esther each struggle with their own internal turmoil, ultimately discovering that God has a plan for each of them which is quite different than their own.
This was an enjoyable read. It is set in Guana, Africa, and the description of what life is there was interesting. The book is written from the first person perspective, but it bounces back and forth between the two main characters, with each chapter stating whose persepective is being written.
There is romance in the story, but the main point of the book is about how a young agnostic comes to be a Christian. There is dialogue between he and a Christian about evolution & creation, and discussions on the proof of God, which is interesting, and the fictional character and reader both benefit from that.
The story is set in the late 70's, so it was different to read a story where computers and cell phones and some other more modern techonogies such as that aren't ruling people's lives.
I did have a couple of issues with the book. Anyone who has read very many of my reviews know how strongly I feel about curse words appearing in a Christian book, and this had that, unfortunately. One use of the "d" word, and two uses of "hell" as a curse. I was disappointed that those were allowed in the book, but that is a first for this publisher that I have ran across. Also, the drinking of beer by Christians - I know there are a lot of churches and Christians that are Ok with that, but there are still a lot of churches that are not. I fall into the latter.
Overall, the book is worth reading, not only for an enjoyable read, but a reminder that God does exist.
While serving as an agriculturalist in India, Allan Connor came to faith in Christ. That experience gave him great confidence in the Bible and a deep desire to share Christ with others. Ten years in India and a later assignment in Ghana, West Africa, as an adult-education specialist with the Canadian International Development Agency gave him a grassroots understanding of life in developing countries. His wide experience as an educator—in overseas assignments, as a community development representative with the Nova Scotia Department of Agriculture, as a freelance writer for Christian and secular magazines, and as a Bible teacher in his local church—honed his communication skills. He is also a hopeless romantic at heart, so the writing of a love story held great appeal.
Now retired, Allan lives in Port Hope, Ontario, with his wife. The couple has two adult children; a physician son and a journalist daughter. Allan was an avid gardener until post-polio syndrome reduced his mobility.
An Unlikely Saint is available from Winepress Publishing.

Inmates Train Puppies Before They Become Bomb-Sniffing Crime Stoppers
Photo courtesy of Puppies Behind Bars.
Taylor spent most of her early life behind the walls of a New Jersey women’s correctional facility.
Now the black Labrador is answering a higher calling, sniffing out bombs and shell casings for the ATF.
The two-year-old dog, who is more hyper than her explosives-detecting predecessor, shares a home with his veteran agent handler, Nic Garlie of the St. Louis ATF office, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports in an uplifting story about second chances and America’s best friend.
Taylor was raised by prison inmates under a program called, Puppies Behind Bars, which gives criminals an opportunity to raise puppies that are being groomed to work for agencies such as the ATF. It gives inmates a sense of responsibility and provides positive interactions.
“They really feel like part of them leaves prison when the dog succeeds and goes on to work,” Gloria Gilbert Stoga, the program’s founder, said.
One of Taylor’s handlers, Neville, spent much of her 12 years behind bars alone, bored and without much to accomplish.
The four-legged friend changed Neville’s outlook, according to her journal entries.
“It is a wonderful nervous energy to think while I am locked in this world, I can still be a service to someone,” Neville wrote.
Now Taylor is prepared to help keep America safe.

Border Patrol Continues Search for Canine That Went Missing on Feb. 20
Dunja has been missing since Feb. 20.
A Border Patrol canine that went missing during a tracking operation in Arizona on Feb. 20 has not been found.
Dunja, a dog used by the Tucson Sector Border Patrol, was separated from his handler during an operation on the Tohono O’odham Nation near Papago Farms, Tucson News Now reports.
Agents continue to search for Dunja, who is 4 years old and has worked with the Border Patrol since August 2016.
The Tucson Sector has more than 100 canines.
The dogs can fetch up to $10,000 because they are already trained.
“They do go through several weeks of training,” said Daniel Hernandez, spokesman with the Tucson sector. “The canines become a team within the agent and they spend a very long time together as a partner. Conducting all kinds of simulations at the training facility. So there is a huge bond between the canine and the handler.”

New Jersey to Use Cyber Canine to Sniff Out Thumb Drives, Hard Drives And Cell Phones
This is not your ordinary canine.
The FBI is New Jersey is planning to soon crack down on cyber crime with a special dog that will be able to sniff out thumb drives, hard drives and cell phones, NJ 101.5 reports.
“It’ll be an extremely versatile dog, it’ll be used in almost any type of investigation where we intend to search out or collect digital media,” said New Jersey FBI Special Agent Celeste Danzi.
“He or she will be able to identify these items and find them if they’re hidden or disguised as a pen or even a tiny chip,” she said. “It could be as small as a fingernail, anything that memory can be stored in, the dog will be able to scent or alert on.”
The FBI has bought the dog but it first must undergo about five months of training.

Merkel to give Auschwitz 60 million euros from Germany during first visit
Europe 2019-12-06, by Editor Comments Off 8
WARSAW – Angela Merkel will make her first visit to the Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial on Friday after 14 years as German chancellor, bringing a 60 million euro donation to help conserve the site where the Nazis ran their largest death camp, the museum said.
Merkel has not shied away from admitting German responsibility for its atrocities in World War Two, but her visit will ensure she follows in the footsteps of former chancellors by seeing the site before her term ends.
“Auschwitz is a museum but is also the biggest cemetery in the world … (memory) is the key to building the present and future,” museum director Piotr Cywinski told Reuters ahead of Merkel’s visit at the invitation of the Auschwitz foundation.
Merkel will announce the donation, half of which comes from Germany’s federal government and half from the regional governments, at a ceremony marking the 10th anniversary of the Auschwitz-Birkenau Foundation.
The money will cement Germany’s place as the largest donor to the foundation, which funds the conservation efforts for the site where more than 1 million people died in what was then Nazi-occupied Poland.
More than 3 million of Poland’s 3.2 million Jews were killed by the Nazis, accounting for about half of the Jews killed in the Holocaust.
The money will ensure that the conservation of 30 brick barracks in the Birkenau camp site, including an old kitchen and latrine, for example, can continue.
“Many of the buildings were not built to last long,” Cywinski said, adding that the foundation needs between 18 million zlotys to 20 million zlotys ($4.62 million to $5.13 million) annually to maintain conservation.
“I want to show that these funds are created as a tool for the future, for the next generation, for education. It’s not a way to point the finger at a country’s history, because that’s not my role.”
The proceeds from the foundation’s fund, which relies on payouts from bonds and was opened a decade ago, proved to be lower than hoped in part due to the financial crisis in 2009.
Cywinski, who had also considered riskier stock market investments, appealed to donor countries for more support two years ago. Germany is the only country that has responded to date. The United States and Poland have previously been big donors.
Merkel has previously visited other concentration camp sites and met survivors of Auschwitz.

Waldemar Januszczak
“Within this thicket there lurks a name…” Ian Hamilton Finlay
Yoko’s barking up the right tree
Waldemar on Yoko Ono
Those crazy so-and-sos, the gods of art, have been particularly crazy in their treatment of Yoko Ono. First, they allowed her to emerge as one of the most inventive artists of the 1960s. Then they got her to meet John Lennon, so her story would for ever become entangled with his. Then they pretty much ignored her for the middle decades of her career, while simultaneously blackening her reputation with all sorts of weird and possessive national stuff about breaking up the Beatles. Now, finally, with Ono in her seventies, they are building her up again, organising important international summations of her work and admitting that she has been a tremendous force in art all along. If anyone out there understands this trajectory, please do a very Yoko Ono thing and send me the diagram on a postcard. I would love to understand it too.
While the rest of the world has been recognising Ono’s sense-stirring contribution to the story of progressive art, one important artistic territory has been holding out. It is, of course, Britain, and, particularly, London. Unbelievably, the beautiful Yoko Ono exhibition that has now arrived at the Serpentine is the first solo show she has had at a public gallery in the capital. It is not a retrospective, but then neither is it a collection of new things. Instead, it’s a seamlessly fashioned hybrid of the two. Indeed, I don’t think I have ever seen a show in which the old and the new have appeared quite so interchangeable.
Ono has always been a master of two colours: black and white. Her art has always had the clarity and sparseness of a crisp piece of text. Outside, on the Serpentine’s lawn, the first work visitors will encounter is a giant chess set consisting only of the white pieces. The board, too, is white. Black is present only in its absence. So this is a game of chess with no way to victory, no winners or losers, no friction, no war. All Yoko is saying is, give peace a chance.
The show ahead is called To the Light, and the journey it traces also goes, in typical Yoko fashion, from down to up, from darkness to brightness, from war to peace, from what we are to what we could be. We begin with a gloomy room in which a set of battered second world war helmets suspended from the ceiling sway ominously in memory of their former wearers. Also in the room, three heaps of earth, coldly entitled Country A, Country B, Country C, say something dark and accusatory about modern warfare in her allusive and elusive style. She doesn’t mention mass graves, anonymous victims or war’s murderous secrets. It is your imagination that adds those.
To complete the impact of this poignant opening room, a poster from the John and Yoko days has been stuck to the wall. It’s torn and faded now, so you have to lean in close to read its message. It says “War Is Over! (If You Want It)”. Ono’s past is speaking to Ono’s present. The 1960s are speaking to the 2010s. Vietnam is speaking to Iraq and Afghanistan.
The rest of the show forms a sequence of pristine white environments that could happily be advertising Persil. We begin with pieces evoking her Japanese past, notably Painting to Be Stepped On, originally made in 1961, which consists of a shabby patch of canvas across which you are instructed to walk. The piece was prompted by a terrible episode in Japan’s past when Japanese Christians were forced to step on images of Jesus and Mary. Only recently have the museums of Tokyo begun to exhibit the trampled plaques that survive from those dark days of national apostasy.
A tad more explanation in the caption would have helped with the understanding of Painting to Be Stepped On, but it is not Ono’s style to explain. She’s a thrower of pebbles into ponds, not a history lecturer. The centre of the show, its most exciting space, features a display of pioneering films, including Bottoms, made in 1967, in which she photographed 365 naked bums — a particularly quotidian count of what we represent as a species. I enjoyed Smile, too, from 1968, in which a charmingly young Lennon allows a slow smile to emerge on his face, then sticks out his tongue at us playfully.
In the same gallery, an installation called Amaze features a Perspex maze through which you are encouraged to wander while the light plays tricks with your boundaries. At the centre, if you make it, is a pool of black water in which is reflected the shimmering ceiling above you. It’s a pretty effect.
The catalogue tells us that when Amaze was first shown, in 1971, there was a flushing lavatory at the centre. I like the sound of that. Ono’s best work is surprisingly gritty. In Fly, a remarkable film from 1970, a fly is followed around a naked female body as it investigates the woman’s crotch and the long hairs protruding from her nipples. It’s a piece about decay, but also about feminine reality.
Always on the side of the woman in the sex wars, Ono is always on the side of hope in the war of human consciousness. She’s big on participation, and a lot of the art here has the air of a free gift about it. It gives you pleasure in the way that the goodies handed out at the Ideal Home Exhibition gave you pleasure when you were a kid. Outside the gallery, you are encouraged to write down your wishes and pin them to a wish tree. She has a new app available, too, which encourages you to photograph yourself smiling, then send your smile to a global smile network at http://t.co/LPBKeDSZ. I am grinning crazily somewhere out there, because the Serpentine show also includes an on-site smile-capturing centre.
With its fertility and free gifts, its journey from gloom to hope, its spectacular inventiveness and those occasional outbursts of grittiness, this is a mightily enjoyable and impressive homecoming. The piece of art at which John first encountered Yoko has been pointedly set up in the final gallery. It’s a white ladder with something tiny written above it on the roof. A handy magnifying glass hanging from the ceiling enables you to climb up and read this tiny message. It says “Yes”.

Early Gastric Cancer : prognostic factors.
April 2001. Review Article.
Namieno describes recurrent cases after curative resection for early gastric cancer even though the tumour had seemed to be completely resected by surgery.
The author defines pathologic features of recurrence in findings that can be assessed preoperatively by endoscopy and by biopsy.
The reported cumulative mortality rate due to recurrence of early gastric cancer ranges from 2% to 4% in the literature and 1% in his study.
The submucosal cancers are significantly more prone to recurrence than the mucosal carcinomas.
Moreover the macroscopically elevated type and the compound type cancers recur more often than depressed type carcinomas.
Differentiated adenocarcinomas have a high potential for venous invasion, while undifferentiated adenocarcinomas are characterized by a lymphatic invasion. Therefore differentiated carcinomas recur in the form of blood-borne metastases and surgeons cannot control bloodstream-containig carcinoma cells, whereas involved lymph nodes can be dissected by surgery.
Postoperative thorough follow up is indicated in particular in the cases of macroscopically compound and elevated -type carcinomas, microscopically differentiated carcinomas and lymphatic involvement with depressed, undifferentiated EGCs.
Medical doctors have to search for recurrent or metachronous lesions and for neoplasms in other organs (particularly lung and colorectal cancers: 34% of patients with an EGC die of another malignancy) (Namieno).
Although the preoperative staging and treatment selection, the patients should deserve protection from uncertainty by gastric resection (De Cosse).
Guadagni underlines the high recurrence risk for the intestinal histologic type, corresponding to the well differentiated type reported by Japanese authors.
Moreover he recommends a more accurate intraoperative and postoperative histologic examination of resection margins and the performing of a D2 lymphadenectomy . It's necessary for western surgeons to improve the quality of dissection of the lymph nodes at the hepatoduodenal ligament, around the common hepatic, splenic, and celiac arteries, and along the lesser gastric curvature in cases of subtotal gastrectomy (Guadagni).
Bozzetti confirms that patients undergoing surgery for EGC (especially the intestinal type) may have a circa 50% higher risk of a second tumor and should be periodically checked for others tumors, mainly in the supramesocolic area (Bozzetti).
With recent development of minimal treatment for early gastric cancer it's important to reaffirm that the identification of specific indicators of the metastatic potential of primary tumors has become more important.
Differentiated type gastric carcinoma(DGC), which corresponds roughly with the intestinal type of Lauren, can demonstrate phenotypic properties associated with mucin expression and brush border. The G type mucin phenotype and papillary adenocarcinoma should be distinguished from other types of DGCs because of their increased malignant potential in the incipient phase of invasion and metastases (Koseki).
Mucinous gastric carcinoma is rare and whether MGC behaves more aggressively than nonmucinous gastric carcinoma is controversial. Adachi indicates that although the macroscopic features of early MGC differ from those of early NMGC, patient prognosis and the frequency of lymph node metastasis do not differ (Adachi).
Recently many studies have demonstrated that the degree of tumor angiogenesis is related to the aggressiveness of the tumor and clinical outcome. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a well characterized inducer of angiogenesis. Multivariate analysis concludes that VEGF expression ( as well as submucosal invasion and lymph node metastases) is an indipendent predictor of disease recurrence (Maeda).
Pen A type gastric carcinoma (expansively penetrating growth invading the submucosa layer) tends to secrete VEGF, thus inducing tumor angiogenesis and resulting in venous invasion. Therefore intensive follow up is necessary for patients with Pen A type tumor, because this tumor type has a greater propensity for hematogenous metastasis (Tomoda).
Cathepsin B and cathepsin L, both lysosomal cysteine proteases, degrade the extracellular matrix during tumor progression. Tumors with overexpression of cathepsin have powerful potential for invasiveness in the early stage of gastric carcinoma. Moreover cathepsins may be one of the determinants of the metastatic route (Dohchin).
Kawamura refers of a retrospective case-control study conducted on 10 patients with metachronous recurrence of gastric carcinoma after undergoing successful EMR therapy for EGC and on 14 patients without recurrence. Thirty percent of patients with recurrent disease shows microsatellite instability (MSI-H) whereas none of the patients with nonrecurrent disease does so (Kawamura).
MSI is thought to play an important role in the development of multiple primary cancers of the gastrointestinal tract.
MSI analysis is rapid and inexpensive. MSI may be a useful screening marker to detect a high risk group for second primary cancer in some patients with sporadic single gastric and colorectal cancers (Yamashita).

Neymar’s injury breaks Brazil president’s heart
Segun Adebowale
The injury that has sidelined Brazilian forward, Neymar da Silva Santos Júnior, is causing grief to President Dilma Rousseff and many Brazilians, and they are not hiding it.
President Rousseff had conveyed her feelings on the injury sustained by the Brazilian goal scorer, popularly known as Neymar or Neymar Jr, to the entire country via a letter released to the media.
She said: “It broke my heart and the heart of every Brazilian watching the pain on your face on the Castelão field.”
It would be recalled that Neymar Jr got injured on Friday during the Brazil-Columbia quarter final match at which Brazil won 2-1.
The president added: “But we also saw the immense strength of a great warrior, who will never let himself be held back even when wounded.
“A great warrior who briefly interrupts his march, having already left his insurmountable mark on the victorious battle our Seleção is fighting.
“I know that, like every Brazilian, you will never give up, and sooner than one can imagine, you will be back to fill our souls with joy and our history with triumph.
“May God give you strength and always protect you.”
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that that the star player was badly tackled from behind, which left him seriously wounded.
The injury has effectively ruled him out of the ongoing World Cup.
The Brazilians are bound to miss their most outstanding player in the line up,
However, in spite of his absence, jerseys with his name inscribed had continued to fetch millions into the coffers of Brazil Football Federation.
Neymar Jr., who plays for Spanish club, FC Barcelona, in the La Liga, was born on February 5, 1992, is on a salary: 8.8 million EURO and had since been flown into Sao Paulo for medical attention.

Gentlemen not sure if I'm quoting correct source General Nelson Miles said that before Custer separated from Terry they had a conversation which was overheard in which Terry gave a verbal order which culminated in Terry saying "for God's sake hang on to your wounded" he didn't name the person who heard it and when asked to name them by Walter Camp? refused.Terry apparently denied it what was the reported content of this disputed order.if true did it influence events best wishes Trish.

As he turned to leave us I made some pleasant remark, warning him against being greedy, and with a gay wave of his hand he called back " No, I will not"
Here, Gibbon does not mention wait for us. The only thing odd about any of this is. Why would Gibbon ask Custer to wait when Custer was offered part or all of Gibbons Cavalry? I would think that by the 22nd, everyone knows that Custer is the strike force, the hammer. Gibbons is the anvil. Why would Gibbons expect Custer to wait?
I think the wait for us part was added after Custers death. It's no big deal, just wondering.
Letter from General Terry to General Sherman
Camp Big Horn July 2
I think I owe it to myself to put you more fully in possession of the facts of the late operations. While at the mouth of the Rosebud I submitted my plan to General Gibbon and General Custer. It was that Custer, with his whole regiment, should move up the Rosebud till he should meet a trail Reno had discovered a few days before, but that he should not follow it directly to the Little Big Horn; that he should send scouts over it and keep his main force further toward the south, so as to prevent the Indians from slipping in between himself and the mountains. He was also to examine the head waters of the Tullockh’s Creek, as he passed it and send me word of what he found there. A scout was furnished him for the purpose of crossing the country to me. We calculated it would take Gibbon’s column until the 26th to reach the mouth of the Little Big Horn, and that the wide sweep I had proposed to Custer should make would require so much time that Gibbon would be able to co-operate with him in attacking any Indians that might be found on the stream....
…The movements proposed by General Gibbon’s column were carried out to the letter, and had the attack been deferred until it was up, I cannot doubt that we should have been successful….
…I do not tell you this to cast any reflections upon Custer, for whatever errors he may have committed, Custer’s action is unexplainable in the case,
A.H. Terry
Terry’s explanation why Custer must wait for Gibbon.
Gibbon knew he could not get there before Custer, if Custer got on the trail and stayed on the trail.
"Now, Custer, don't be greedy, but wait for us." General Gibbon June 22
"No, I will not." Custer

Rosebud,
Turning down the additional cavalry and the Gatling guns would make Custer’s advance down the Rosebud strictly Custer’s fight or “a Seventh Regiment affair”. The Gatling guns may hinder his advance. Custer was going to hit the trail Reno found and move on it to its conclusion, nothing to slow the movement down. IMO Terry, Gibbon, and Custer new this. Somehow Custer was to be slowed down and allow Gibbon time to get to the Little Big Horn. The scout to the south was to delay Custer’s move to the LBH based on the miles per day Custer expected to move.
Custer’s orders gave him leniency in that his orders would not “impose upon you precise orders which might hamper your action when nearly in contact with the enemy”.
Gibbon knew this and knew General Custer, after turning down the Gatling guns because they may hinder his movement and Custer’s orders essentially allowed Custer to say on the trail, Gibbon said, “Wait for Us”. After turning down the Gibbon's two troops so that this would be a 7th affair. Gibbon says "Don't be greedy".
But General Terry's orders and battle plan was to have Gibbon up on the mouth of the Little Big Horn on the 26th. To comply with that time frame Custer would have to wait.
Turning down the additional cavalry and the Gatling guns would make Custer’s advance down the Rosebud strictly Custer’s fight or “a Seventh Regiment affair”. The Gatling guns may hinder his advance. Custer was going to hit the trail Reno found and move on it to its conclusion, nothing to slow the movement down. So far so good. IMO Terry, Gibbon, and Custer new this. Without question, EVERYONE knows this. Somehow Custer was to be slowed down and allow Gibbon time to get to the Little Big Horn. Nothng to support this. Four days rations would have been all Custer needed if this was the case. The scout to the south was to delay Custer’s move to the LBH based on the miles per day Custer expected to move. Wrong. It was to place Custer to the South of the Indians in case the Indians had decided to move south after crossing from the Rosebud to the LBH.
Custer’s orders gave him lienency in that his orders would not “impose upon you precise orders which might hamper your action when nearly in contact with the enemy”. I agree with this. Some don't.
Gibbon knew this and knew General Custer, after turning down the Gatling guns because they may hinder his movement and Custer’s orders essentially allowed Custer to say on the trail,Again we agree. No question about it. Gibbon said, “Wait for Us”. After turning down the Gibbon's two troops so that this would be a 7th affair. Gibbon says "Don't be greedy". He said, she said. Gibbon has had his chance and he blew it, he knew it.
But General Terry's orders and battle plan was to have Gibbon up on the mouth of the Little Big Horn on the 26th. To comply with that time frame Custer would have to wait. Not a chance. No need for 15 days rations. And if he wanted to slow Custer down, all he had to do is travel along with him. He even took extra salt. None of this gives any indication they were to trap the Indans with a joint effort on the 26th. The only thing they know is they are going to the Big Horn and the Little Big Horn while Custer is confirming their hunch that the Indians woud head West, leaving the Rosebud.
.................................................................................
Gerry,
I don't think anyone will say that Gibbon was not expected to be near the mouth of the LBH on the 26th. What I am saying is there is no reason for Custer to wait. For what? Who? Where was he to wait If anything he should be quick. Just not to the LBH. Hurry on up the Rosebud. Terry's letter to Sherman is a bunch of bull!! It is nothing more than Terry throwing Custer under the bus.
If Custer waits or goes up the Rosebud. Where and when is this battle going to be fought?
To answer the question to wait for what? To allow Gibbon to get up to the area of the LBH. Within Terry’s orders to Custer it states, “it is hoped that the Indians, if upon the Little Big Horn, may be so nearly enclosed by two columns that their escape will be impossible.”
I agree that the scout was to place Custer to the south of the Indians in case the Indians had decided to move south after crossing from the Rosebud to the LBH, or as stated “to preclude the possibility of the escape of the Indians to the south or south-east by passing around your left flank.”
The Generals all felt that the Indians were on the LBH, “Should it be found, as it appears to be almost certain that it will be found, to turn towards the Little Big Horn, he thinks that you should still proceed southward, as far as the head-waters of the Tongue, and then turn toward the Little Big Horn”.
Why would Terry order Custer to the south if they felt the Indians were on the LBH, if not to secure the south end and allow Gibbon to secure the north end. Custer was not to cross over into the LBH until Gibbon’s Infantry was in position.
Terry’s Sheridan letter stated, “the wide sweep I had proposed Custer should make would require so much time that Gibbon would be able to co-operate with him in attacking any Indians”. Of course this letter is designed to cast a good light upon Terry himself and to direct any attention to Custer, as you said throw Custer under the bus.
In defense of Terry’s orders: They thought the Indians would be found on the LBH and Custer was to move south, blocking movement in that direction, thus allowing time for Gibbon to come up, enclosing the enemy.
Custer was not to cross over to the LHB and engage until Terry had Gibbon in place, only then the battle would take place.
Wait for Us.

The Custer Myth
The Mary Adams Affidavit
"when General Terry came into said tent, and the said Terry said to General Custer: "Custer, I don't know what to say for the last." Custer replied,, "Say whatever you want to say." Terry then said, "Use your own judgment and do what you think best if you strike the trail. And whatever you do, Custer, hold on to your wounded" and further saith not" Mary X (mark) Adams
This affidavit came into the possession of General Miles, then a colonel under General Terry's command and was by him held for many years. The existence of such an affidavit was first make known by General Miles in 1897."
Last Edit: Feb 16, 2014 10:48:31 GMT -5 by Gerry
Find this interesting that we find the original wording doesn't change but the rewritten interpretation translating changes. Both the above "but wait for us" and "hold on to your wounded" can be found in text written multiple ways, until one can find the source material.
Then we can rethink what we are reading and use source, it makes a difference. For someones rewritten interpretation translation can put a whole different spin on it.
This battle history includes it all.

Rosebud: Gerry,
I hope you understand that the Mary Adams affidavit was a hoax. Mary Adams was not with the 7th on this trip.
Rosebud, the Mary Adams Affidavit was not a hoax. This was proven conclusively by noted LBH scholar Jack Manion in his publication: General Terry's Last Statement to Custer: New Evidence on the Mary Adams Affidavit. Col. Graham originally thought it was a hoax because it was discovered by the officer who informed Elizabeth Custer about her husband's death, that a Ms. Adams answered the door, thus suggesting that she could not have been with Custer on this campaign, and could not have overheard his last private conversation with Gen. Terry. Jack Manion discovered that Mary Adams had a sister named Maria Adams, both in the employ of Gen. Custer. One sister stayed at Fort Lincoln to attend to Libby's needs, while the other went in the field as a cook for the General. Manion came up with the pay receipts to prove this, thus refuting Graham's attempt to discredit the legitimacy of the Mary Adams affidavit.

Hmmm. Interesting but too farfetched. As far as I know the two sisters were never seen together by contemporaries. Besides, it is known that the Custers called their servant Mary as well as Maria.
There's nothing far-fetched about it, Henk. I have no doubt that contemporaries did see these sisters together, but the fact that no one bothered to record their impressions of Custer's hired help is not proof that they did not exist. And why in the world would anyone refer to a Mary as Maria? These are not the same names in English usage to be used interchangeably. Perhaps its different in Europe. In any event, in addition to the pay receipts confirming the existence of the two sisters, we also have a reference to Mary preparing a nice meal for the Custer's in one of Boston Custer's letters written to his sister while out on the LBH campaign. So whether or not you choose to believe that Mary had a sister who remained behind at Ft. Lincoln, Boston's letter confirms that Mary was indeed along with the command on that campaign.

Did Custer disobey Terry's orders by crossing the divide? Jun 5, 2015 19:05:09 GMT -5
Post by keogh on Jun 5, 2015 19:05:09 GMT -5
An area of great controversy over the years has been the debate over whether Custer disobeyed Terry's orders by crossing the divide and attacking a day early. A secondary argument has been over the reasons why Custer did not send scout Herendeen down Tullocks Creek to contact Terry's command. This thread will examine this issue from different perspectives. Feel free to join in with your own views.
We'll begin this examination by looking at the views expressed by LBH author and researcher Fred Wagner, who clearly believes that Custer violated Terry's orders in this regard. His views are explained in his book The Strategy of Defeat at the Little Big Horn:
Custer's instructions were clear: scout the upper reaches of the Rosebud, then cross to the upper Little Big Horn, move north down that river, and drive the Sioux into the blocking point Terry was to reach on the 26th.... Regardless of the decisions Custer had reached ... his choices were now to to continue south along the Rosebud, possibly risking detection ... and losing track of the village, or to leave the Busby camp at night in an attempt to cross the Rosebud-Little Big Horn divide, hiding out for a day while Terry moved into the Little Big Horn valley. If this would be the plan, it meant Custer's scouts could keep track of the hostiles and Custer would still have the elemnent of surprise, still attack from above, and still block escape routes to the east.
(Fred now quotes from author John Gray's analysis given in his book Custer's Last Command):
Custer could follow Terry's recommendation by marching up the Rosebud tomorrow [the 25th] and starting down the Little Big Horn the next day, thus preserving the timing. Even if these marches were made at night, however, he would leave a trail as readable as a poster, and discovery would warn the village to flee and scatter. He would also lose track of the village and at best have to search for it again, at worst it could escape undetected back to the Rosebud and eastward or down the Bighorn and attack Terry's weaker force on the march.
Fred: While one hates to cry sophistry with such a fine academician as Gray, he is ... rationalizing assumptions and equally ... cutting Custer a lot of slack here, for as we have seen, no one thought to warn the Sioux of Custer's approach even though they claimed ... to have seen a regiment of cavalry a day's ride away.... They had no idea Gibbon had returned to the Rosebud and they were completely unaware of Reno's earlier movements ..., Terry's presence, and now Custer's proximity. (p. 14-15)
So with this in mind it is necessary to look at what Terry expected of his cavalry commander. The importance of Tullock's Creek is predicated on the assumption Custer would obey his instructions.... As can be seen from his orders, it was specifically stated Custer "should thoroughly examine the upper part of Tullock's Creek, and ... should endeavor to send a scout through to Colonel Gibbon's column, with information of the results of your examination." We see no requirement to include plans to have found Indians before sending Terry the information required. The commanding general wanted to know if Tullock's was clear. By tossing aside the importance of scouting this area, we assume it was acceptable for Custer to disobey his orders. While we have seen he was given a certain amount of latitude in the execution of those orders, Custer was given no latitude in their interpretation. He was ordered specifically to examine "the upper part of Tullock's Creek" and ordered specifically to "endeavor" to report his findings to Gibbon. He neither examined nor endeavored.
He was also directed to continue south, regardless of whether the trail would leave the Rosebud environs. The following phrase, "Should it be found (as it appears almost certain that it will be found) to turn towards the Little Horn, [General Terry] thinks that you should still proceed southward," already anticipates and precludes Custer's rationale for following the Indian trail; "unless you should see sufficient reason for departing from [these orders]," would, therefore, not apply here because Custer's reasons have already been preempted, they have been pre-considered insufficient. In other words, following the Indian trail just because it might diverge from the Rosebud was not sufficient justification for Custer to do what he did. It was not an option. At this point, all Terry knew -- and expected to know -- was Custer was moving up the Rosebud, following his orders. The forethought in the orders trumps the afterthought of their execution. (p. 39 - 40)

Charles Kuhlman buried this particular argument more than 50 years ago. As per the so-called latter day would-be historians, they keep beating this dead horse, hoping it will gallop away from the battlefield, carrying all of its secrets with it.
You know I had forgotten that Charles Kuhlman wrote an excellent treatise on this very question. One of the best analyses ever given on the subject, imo.

No, I do not believe Custer disobeyed the orders written. My understanding of the events that took place prior to the writing and issuing of such order, leads me to this belief. During the council of war at the mouth of the Rosebud, it was decided that Custer would pick up the trail Reno had discovered and follow the trail, overhaul the Indians and strike the blow. Gen. Gibbon would move up the Big Horn and intercept the Indians if they escaped Custer in that direction. The written orders to Custer would not be delivered until the evening of the 22nd by scouts William Sellow and F. F. Girard. On the 23rd Scout Sellow would scout the east of Tullock Creek and report back to Custer. Sellow was then dispatched to Gibbon arriving on the night of the 23rd.
The following is correspondence from the Chicago Tribune who would write of events prior to Custer’s departure from the Rosebud.
Chicago Tribune published July 13, 1876 correspondent wrote, “A hurried council of war-Custer to the front. Yesterday Terry, Gibbon, and Custer got together, and, with unanimity of opinion, decided that Custer should start with his command up the Rosebud Valley to the point where Reno abandoned the trail take up the latter and follow the Indians as long and as far as horse-flesh and human endurance could carry his command.
Chicago Tribune published July 13, 1876 correspondent wrote, "to-morrow, June 22, Gen. Custer, with twelve cavalry companies, will scout from its mouth up the valley of the Rosebud until he reaches the fresh trail discovered by Maj. Reno, and move on that trail with all the rapidity possible in order to overhaul the Indians,...In the meantime Gen. Terry will move on the steamer to the mouth of the Big Horn River,...This part of the command will march up the Big Horn Valley in order to intercept the Indians if they should attempt to escape from Gen. Custer down that avenue."
Chicago Tribune published July 10, 1876 correspondent wrote, "It was believed the Indians were on the Little Horn, a divide or ridge on 15 miles wide, separating the two streams. It was announced by Gen. Terry that Gen. Custer's column would strike the blow, and Gen. Gibbon and his men received the decision without a murmur. There was great rivalry between the two columns, and each wanted to be in at the death....The Montana column felt disappointed when they learned that they were not to be present at the final capture of the great village....Gen. Terry desired the strongest column to strike the Indians; so it was decided that Custer's men were, as usual, to have the post of honor, and the officers and men of the Montana column cheered them and bid them God-speed.
Scout William Sellow would write, “General Terry started myself and another scout to overtake and join Custer. After leaving the supply train and headquarters on about June 22, 1876, we reached the camp that night and delivered our message.” The scouts would arrive at Custer’s first camp up the Rosebud with the written orders to Custer from AAAG E. W. Smith. Up to the time of the arrival of the written orders, Custer was operating under verbal orders received during the council of war from Gen. Terry.
Frances Chamberlain Holley wrote of F. F. Girard saying, “Adjutant Smith went out to meet the General, and the two passed into the cabin, Girard following them. General Terry then remarked: "Custer is happy now, off with a roving command of fifteen days I" "I told him if he found any Indians not to do as Reno did, but if he thought he could whip them to do so!" As General Terry concluded his remark, Girard stepped up, and reported to him that two scouts were waiting for dispatches for Powder river. He at once prepared them, and the interpreter delivered them to the scouts. After which Girard immediately left to overtake General Custer's command; and found it twelve miles from the mouth of the Rosebud.”
Sellow would write about after delivering the message, “After sleeping about two hours that same night we got fresh horses and Custer started us with instructions to go to the east of Tullock’s fork and to follow it down to its mouth at Tullock’s creek and to keep a sharp lookout for any signs of Indians, and to report to him again that night if possible.” This scout on the 23rd would be the result of the written orders from Smith to scout the Tullock’s creek. Custer is in obedience to the written order.
Sellow would write about later on the late evening of the 23rd , “We had been rolled up in our blankets but a few hours when Charlie Reynolds and a half-breed Sioux scout, Bill Cross, came in with a report which caused Custer to send for us again. After getting fresh horses we were given a dispatch to carry to Colonel Gibbon’s command. We reached the river, which we crossed by the aid of our horses’ tails with our clothes tied so as to keep them as dry as possible. We reached the command that day.” Once again Custer was in compliance with the written order to send a scout to Gibbon.
Verification of Scout Sellow’s dispatch to Gibbon comes from the Diary of Matthew Carroll of Gibbon’s command, in which he wrote on the 24th, “Crossed over and made four miles, camping on Tullock’s Fork. General Gibbon, I am sorry to say, is very sick. General Terry and staff are now here. Scouts came in late last night, and report seeing buffalo about six miles from here with arrows sticking in them, so we can’t be very far from Sioux camp.” Sellow had arrived in Gibbon’s camp.
On the 24th as Custer reached the area of the headwaters of Tullock’s Creek and Scout Herendeen expected to scout Tullock’s Creek and carry a dispatch to Gen. Gibbon, General Custer just looked at him and moved on. Herendeen thought he was sent along to do the scout, but Custer had sent Sellow on the scout of Tullock’s Creek and then on to Gibbon, no need for Herendeen.
No, I do not believe Custer disobeyed the orders written. My understanding of the events that took place prior to the writing and issuing of such written order, leads me to this belief. During the council of war at the mouth of the Rosebud, it was decided that Custer would pick up the trail Reno had discovered and follow the trail, overhaul the Indians and strike the blow. The written orders to Custer would not be delivered until the evening of the 22nd by scouts William Sellow and F. F. Girard. The only portion of the written orders that were changed from the Council of War held aboard the Far West, were to scout Tullock’s Creek and send a scout to Gibbon. Both were complied with.
Gen. Terry through Smith would add advice in the form of, “thinks that you should still proceed southward, perhaps as far as the headwaters of the Tongue, and then turn towards the Little Horn, feeling constantly, however, to your left, so as to preclude the possibility of escape of the Indians to the south or southeast by passing around your left flank.” This portion is a change in what was discussed during the council of war but comes in the form of a recommendation as what Gen. Terry thinks and not a direct order. Gen Terry had previous stated he did not, “to wish to impose upon you precise orders which might hamper your action when nearly in contact with the enemy.”
General Custer was given verbal orders and understanding during the council of war, that he would pick up the trail, follow the trail and strike the blow to the village. This Gen. Custer did this.

I think that most of Fred's reasoning on why he believes Custer disobeyed Terry's orders in crossing the divide are influenced in large measure by Col. Robert Hughes, Gen. Terry's Chief of Staff and loyal brother-in-law, who wrote a highly critical article shortly after Terry's death blaming Custer for disobedience to Terry and thus causing the disaster that befell him at Little Big Horn. The following words of Col. Hughes article summarize his views on this matter:
Col Hughes: Custer's discretion to deviate from them (his orders) might be exercised: First: If the condition of things was found to be essentially different from what Terry believed it to be when he issued his orders. Second: if Custer should see sufficient reason for departing from them.
All the evidence known to exist points conclusively to one fact: that in no particular was the condition of things, as anticipated by Terry when making the order, in any way different from the condition found by Custer up to the point when the direction taken by the Indians' trail was definitely ascertained. At this point, personal examination demonstrated that the conditions actually existed that Terry had so clearly anticipated, namely: It was found (as it appeared to Terry, "almost certain it would be found"), that the trail turned towards the Little Big Horn. Hence, there was nothing in this that warranted any deviation from the order. We thus logically arrive at the second case, that there must be "sufficient reason." Did it exist?
We look in vain in any narrative of the events, we apply in vain to anyone having knowledge of the controlling facts, for any reason for departing from the order at this point. Still less is there a scintilla of evidence of any "sufficient reason" for such a deviation from the order as to completely change Terry's plan, and as the event showed, make the plan impossible. Exactly what was found to be true, Terry had anticipated would be found to be true! And in that event, Custer was left in no doubt what Terry intended he should do, and with no discretion to do otherwise than as ordered -- "still proceed southward, perhaps as far as the headwaters of the Tongue," and at this critical point, exactly what Terry did not want done was done, and instead of "still continuing southward," the trail of the Indians was followed directly to the village, and with such extraordinary haste that there can be no reasonable doubt that Custer had deliberately formed the purpose to follow the trail and attack the village upon reaching it, regardless of where Gibbon's column might be, and without considering that force as a factor in the action!
It would seem that Col. Hughes reasoning on this matter synchronizes quite well with Fred's own views as published in his book The Strategy of Defeat at Little Big Horn.

It was Custer's call.
Matters not at all if Keogh or I or Fred or Hughes fail to come up with a credible reason for Custer diviating from Terry's wishes .
It could have been an accumilation of minor issues [the state of his command ;the possibility that Terry's weakened column would run into the tribes first].Terrys communication to Custer did not have the status of a militry order or directive ;it was in fact no more than a convoluted piece of arse covering'
