Hirana Gāradaza (Mazatecatl)
The Hirana Gāradaza are a human ethnic group from the far northeast, mainly inhabiting the area known as “Yancuitlan”. They have inhabited this area for presumably thousands of years, though they had no calendar to date it. For most of their history, they were a foraging people, gathering the abundant fruits of the forest and living in small familial villages. However, at some point around 500 years ago, they turned to deer herding. What caused this shift is not definitively known, although it is probable that encroaching competition from other groups (namely, kenku and orcs) may have been a factor. Regardless, they became semi-nomadic pastoralists, but still retained many of the values they held as a foraging people. Before M.E. 1653, they were completely isolated from other human ethnic groups, so are very unique in terms of cultural practices and appearance.
In Tititl of M.E. 1653, Chalchiutl Atlcahualo, lauded Cuicatecatl explorer, established the first foreign human contact with the Hirana Gāradaza. Previously, both groups had recieved some artifacts from the other through cross-craton trade with kenku and, rarely, elves. This evidence of unknown human groups is what spurred the Ikniutsin expeditions. Initially, the Hirana Gāradaza were unnerved; however, they soon warmed up to the explorers and welcomed them into their villages. In these first meetings, which took place over a period of about a month and a half, both parties traded food, tools, and objects, communicating through basic pantomime and early precursors to International Mercantile Pidgin Sign. By the end of the period, Doctor Atlcahualo had deciphered the basics of the Bhāśā language and assembled a vital first ethnography on the culture that she returned with to her home country, dubbing them the “Mazatecatl”, or “People of the Deer Place”.
Major language groups and dialects
Bhāśā (Punjabi)
Far Northern
Accent in other languages: ranges from Galen’s hideous Banastre Tarleton impression to vaguely Arabic
Shared customary codes and values
If religious, the vast majority belong to the Cult of the Dam, Cult of the Sire, or Cult of the Fawn, if mother, father, or unwed, respectively.
Common Dress code
Everyday Dress
Men, women, and children clothe themselves in a single, long stretch of cloth (saree). Depending on age, gender and time of year it is worn differently, but generally it covers the shoulders, torso and legs. They are often woven with complex and beautiful geometric patterns in softer, muted colors - generally periwinkle, sage green, grey, or brown with cream designs. These patterns double as camouflage and dazzle in the forest. Cloth is generally woven from plant fibers. Individuals may go barefoot, but more commonly wear leather boots to protect their feet from the dangers of the forest.
Ceremonial dress is used in sacred rituals, festivals such as the Running of the Deer, and when an individual wants to be taken very seriously. Ceremonial dress is often more brilliantly colored than everyday dress.
The base of a mother’s ceremonial dress is a soft deer-leather torso wrap and leg wraps, girded so as to become like baggy shorts. Over this is worn a woven belt, with several dried deer-hoof rattles hanging from it (as many rattles as she has children). On her head, she wears a beautifully woven turban completely hiding her hair. This turban and belt is made by her husband(s), showing their love and devotion to her. Depending on the situation, she may wear a wooden breastplate beneath the torso wrap, rigid wooden sandals, and tassels on her ankles, wrists and belt (at base of spine, like a tail).
The base of men’s ceremonial wear is formed by a particularly flowing, intricate saree showing off his weaving skills. This saree is large enough that he may wrap extra fabric around his shoulders like a cape in addition to covering his body. Around his waist, he wears a stamped and engraved leather belt, crafted for him by his wife(s). He wears his hair loose and down in the back, with the sides and front in elaborate braided areangements. Depending on the situation, the braids may be securing a real rack of antlers to his head, and he mah wear tassels on the points of the horns and his belt (at the base of the spine, like a tail). When dressed in this manner, a father is generally barefoot.
Children’s ceremonial wear involves a short length of fabric wrapped around the hips like a skirt, and a cape made from the pelt of a dappled fawn (such pelts are only taken when a fawn dies of natural causes or must be mercy-culled). Depending on the situation, they may paint additional spots and designs onto their skin.
Common Customs, traditions and rituals
The Running of the Deer is the highlight of every Yancuitlan citizen’s year. Although many no longer participate in the actual deer herding, it continues to be vital to the area and other festivities are enjoyed by all. The most anticipated events are the Stag and Doe dances, performed only by members of their respective cults. Dance partners are generally siblings, but may be cousins, parent/child, or very close friends.
The men’s Stag Dance is performed in flowing ceremonial clothing with their hair plaited to secure a real rack of antlers to his head (some dancers are known to inlay bits of flint in them to create sparks). Groups of two or more men showcase their acrobaticism as they spin and lock antlers again and again - the only legal point of contact (in large groups, exceptions may be made for the shoulders and hands, but no further). Particularly skilled dancers may even be able to flip their partners over their heads without injury. Women’s Doe Dances, on the other hand, are very contact-heavy and more resemble a sparring match. The focal point of their dances are the sounds made when their wood-clad hands, feet, or chests make contact. While they may appear random and brutal, the unmistakable rhythms created by their movements betrays its choreographed nature.
Coming of Age Rites
Membership to the Cult of the Sire or the Dam is considered complete as soon as the first child is born. This is the ultimate coming-of-age rite.
Long hair is considered a feature of adults, so growing one’s hair out is a mark of adulthood begun as soon as one’s first child is known to have been concieved.
Beauty Ideals
The Hirana Gāradaza look markedly different from other humans of the craton, with much lighter, khaki-colored skin, slightly wavy hair that may be black or brown, black to green or grey eyes, and more raised features. Their most striking attribute is their abundant, darker brown freckles, most concentrated on the cheeckbones and across the bridge of the nose.
In more traditional and rural areas, freckles are considered the peak of beauty, displaying a divine connection to the sacred deer. A lithe, agile body is prized, as it is well suited to difficult yearly task of herding. In women, muscularity and bulk are much more acceptable. High contrast between features is also considered desirable. In urban or less traditional areas, western attitudes towards beauty have been adopted.
Gender Ideals
Hirana Gāradaza society is broken up into three primary groups: mothers, fathers, and the unwed (including children). Expectations are based upon which category you belong to.
A mother is strong and resilient. She will fight to protect her family, and hunt for them and prepare the meats they subsist on. A mother is expected to be an adept physical combatant, to balance her “natural” tender and nurturing tendencies. A mother is also very resistant to pain, but is permitted to cry or complain about it if she so chooses. She is stoic and aggressive in the face of danger, but gentle and kind in times of peace. She does not injure or take life without a very good reason and due ritual (e.g. for sustenance, the protection of her herd, or the safety of her family).
A father is calm and collected. He takes care of and educates the children, collects and prepares plant materials, and weaves the garments for his family. He is adept in visual and medicinal arts, creative and innovative. He learns quiet and healing tasks to balance his “natural” aggression and pride. If need be, he will defend his family with his life. A father may resist only nonviolently and will never take another creature’s life unless it is an absolutely necessary act of humanity and there are no mothers available.
Unwed
An unwed person is watchful and patient. They are in a constant state of learning (to become mothers and fathers, or, if permanently unwed, the mysteries of the universe). They are curious and studious. An unwed person learns practical tasks such as how to forage, make basic repairs, and simple first aid, so they may help the community. Unwed people learn vigilance and unity to balance their “natural” selfish and distractable tendencies. An unwed person may stun or injure, but never kill.
Courtship Ideals
While young people may flirt and eye each other at other points in the year, true courting does not begin until the biannual Running of the Deer. At this festival, in addition to rounding up, herding, slaughtering, and butchering their deer herds, men, women and children display their prowess through a series of elaborate dances (see Observed Traditions section for more detail on these). Afterwards, prospective couples will find a private tent and talk, relax, and if all goes well, consummate over the next few days. If this encounter results in a pregnancy, both parties are now considered adults (if they weren’t previously) and married.
Relationship Ideals
Married parties generally life in the same camp or villiage and share a sleeping space, though not necessarily (for example, a father may live with his ailing mother in a different camp for several months). They respect each other’s boundaries and have total trust in each other. Couples raise their children together, although mothers may end up doing more in infancy and fathers are more responsible for older children. They are also expected to try for multiple children (between 3 and 7 is average). Multiple marriages are permitted. However, they must not be at the expense of existing partners and children.
Major organizations
Religious organizations: Cult of the Dam, Cult of the Sire, and Cult of the Fawn.

Caffe Romeo brings authentic Italian gelato to Charleston
by: Haley Kosik
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (WOWK) – Up along Bridge Road in South Hills, a small neighborhood of Charleston, you can find true, authentic Italian gelato. Caffe Romeo is a small mom and pop shop that opened in 2017 offering a wide variety of gelato flavors, Italian espresso, pastries and coffee beans and pods blended in an antique Neapolitan fashion.
Owner Mario Sommella, a master to the gelato-making craft, has been making gelato for over 25 years. He began the trade in his home city of Napoli, Italy – located in the southern region of Campania.
It was Napoli where Mario met his wife 15 years ago, the two fell in love, got married and had two children.
Mario and Melissa Sommella on their wedding day.
Mario’s wife, Melissa, is originally from Charleston, West Virginia, but decided to live out an adventure by moving to Italy. She would be the connection in bringing Italiano gelato to the Charleston area for the first time.
In 2015, Mario and his family moved to Washington D.C. where they would live for about a year. Mario began work as a sales consultant but had bigger dreams.
“I said to my wife, ‘I think I want to leave this kind of job and move to Charleston because Charleston has no gelateria, no authentic gelato shop, no authentic gelato, I think it could be like a good idea,'” said Mario.
That dream became a reality in June 2017 when CAFFE ROMEO opened its doors.
“The name is the name of my first son, and Romeo is like the name of the famous story in Italy, Romeo and Juliet.”
“I meet many people that tell me it was a risky idea because everyone thinks West Virginia is a hard place to make business, the economy isn’t going super well, but I also believe that it depends how you look at the world in perspective,” said Mario.
Mario puts the craft in craftsmanship when it comes to making his home-made gelato. Over the last two years, Mario has served more than 60 flavors of gelato, along with their own Italian coffee beans and espresso.

“That’s me, I always have new ideas, I want to make new projects, I always want to change the world, so I think the United States is the right place for me, and you know, it seems like it is,” said Mario.
Caffe Romeo is open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. until 9 p.m. and on Saturday from 10 am until 9 pm. You can check them out on Facebook or stop by the shop at 1026 Bridge Road, Charleston, West Virginia 25314.

Senate rejection of Trump border emergency no longer certain
Posted: Mar 13, 2019 / 11:12 AM EDT / Updated: Mar 13, 2019 / 05:55 PM EDT
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is trying to make it harder for Republicans to avoid an embarrassing Senate rebuff of President Donald Trump’s effort to steer billions of extra federal dollars to building barriers along the U.S.-Mexico border by declaring a national emergency.
As the White House and GOP senators sought a compromise on curbing a president’s power to unilaterally declare such emergencies in the future, Pelosi said Wednesday that the House would not take up that legislation if it passed the Senate.
GOP senators are hoping that if Trump endorses that bill, more Republicans would oppose a separate resolution, set for a vote Thursday, that would block the border emergency he proclaimed last month.
If Trump’s border emergency stands, he could divert $3.6 billion from military construction projects to build border barriers, even though Congress had voted to limit him to less than $1.4 billion for such construction.
Pelosi’s move seemed aimed at persuading GOP senators wavering over the resolution disapproving Trump’s border emergency that they would get no political protection by supporting the bill curbing future emergencies because it will never become law.
“Republican Senators are proposing new legislation to allow the President to violate the Constitution just this once in order to give themselves cover,” Pelosi, D-Calif., said in a statement. “The House will not take up this legislation to give President Trump a pass.”
It has long looked like the Republican-run Senate would join the Democratic-led House in voting to block Trump’s border emergency. That would set up the first veto of Trump’s presidency.
But there have been signs that opposition by a few GOP mavericks is softening. Some Republicans think Trump went too far in declaring an emergency, but they also are eager to avoid defying a president popular with conservative voters.
An administration official said Wednesday that the White House is skeptical there will be enough votes to head off a Senate defeat Thursday and is reluctant to back limits on future declarations unless a victory on the resolution is assured. The official was not authorized to publicly private conversations and spoke on condition of anonymity.
GOP Sens. Mike Lee of Utah and Thom Tillis of North Carolina and others are trying to work out a compromise with the White House over future emergencies. They also were among five GOP senators who met privately Tuesday at the Capitol with Vice President Mike Pence as Republicans tried to find a way to bolster support for Trump.
Tillis and three other GOP senators have said they would vote with Democrats to support the resolution blocking Trump’s border emergency — enough to assure its passage, assuming all Democrats vote “yes” as expected.
At a closed-door lunch Tuesday, Tillis suggested he could be open to backing the president, said two people familiar with his comments. One said Tillis told his colleagues he could change his vote if Trump was indeed ready to curb presidential powers to declare emergencies without Congress’ approval.
The two spoke on condition of anonymity to reveal private conversations. A Tillis aide did not return messages left for him. Tillis faces a potentially tough re-election fight next year.
Republicans control the Senate 53-47, meaning that four GOP defections would be enough to send the resolution blocking Trump’s border emergency to the White House. The others are Sens. Susan Collins of Maine, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Rand Paul of Kentucky.
Paul said earlier this month that there were “at least 10” GOP senators prepared to oppose Trump’s emergency. But he now expects fewer defections. Still, Congress would be highly unlikely to muster the two-thirds majorities needed to eventually override a veto.
But approval of the resolution would highlight a clash in which Trump was being forced to protect his signature campaign promise by vetoing legislation sent to him by a Republican-led Senate. Congress has never before voted to overturn a president’s emergency declaration.

Under a 1976 law, presidents have wide discretion in determining when a national emergency has occurred. Congress can vote to block an emergency declaration, but the two-thirds majorities required to overcome presidential vetoes make it hard for lawmakers to prevail.
Lee’s proposal says a presidential emergency would last 30 days unless Congress votes to extend it. It would apply to future emergencies, not Trump’s current border emergency.
A vote on Lee’s plan was expected after Congress returns from a recess later this month.
The strongest chance of blocking Trump’s border emergency is likely several lawsuits filed by Democratic state attorneys general, environmental groups and others.

Evaluation of different scan configurations for an effective field procedure on a Terrestrial LiDAR Scanner
Laboratory of Geo-information Science and Remote Sensing
wo 12 maart 2014 13:30 tot 14:00
Gaia, building number 101
6708 PB Wageningen
Zaal/kamer
By Alvaro Ivan Lau Sarmiento (Peru)
Despite the advances in forest measurements, characterizing parameters using a terrestrial laser scanner (TLS) still remains a challenge. This challenge is mostly due to the quality of the scan, technical constraints of the scanning system and adverse environmental conditions. A wide range of laser scan systems are commercially available today, and among those, partial hemispherical systems are the most common. These systems do not allow you to scan on a zenith angle and; therefore a second scan, on a tilted position, is necessary. A full hemispherical scan can be achieved by merging both scans. However, the use of a second scan increases project’s budget. Knowing in advance the scan configuration needed for specific parameters, will benefit the fieldwork procedure. This study investigates the need of the second scan for three parameters, digital terrain model (DTM), forest height (FST) and top of canopy (TOC). In this study different setups (discrete-return and multiple-return) and different resolutions (0.5 m and 1.0 m) were analyzed. First, RMSE residuals of up to 2.3 m proved that discrete-return scans could not achieve the same accuracy as multiple-return scans. Then, visual assessment of the rasters indicated the presence of outliers at 0.5 m, compared to 1 m resolution. This was confirmed by standard deviation; where 1 m resolution raster showed less dispersion than 0.5 m resolution raster (e.g. 9.23 % less dispersion for FST parameter). Finally, RMSE was calculated for the different parameters at 1 m resolution. For the DTM parameter, upright scans showed 78 % more accuracy than tilted ones, with a RMSE below 0.5m. However, for the FST parameter, upright scans Is only 6 % more accurate than tilted scans. For the TOC parameter the tilted scan is 12 % more accurate than the upright scan. Despite of the results, RMSE residuals are still too large (around 1 meter difference) to confirm the exclusive use of one scan (upright or tilted) to calculate these parameters. This study proved that using both scans, upright and tilted, for these parameters is the most effective way to have accurate forest measurements.

DRESDEN - One of the area's largest and most obscure drug operations was shut down this week after a multi-county investigation that began in Licking County and span to Guernsey County.
The Central Ohio Drug Enforcement Task Force seized more than $160,000 in cash, at least five pounds of methamphetamine, 50 pounds of marijuana, hundreds of THC vape pens, several ounces of cocaine, psilocybin mushrooms, two vehicles, four ATV's and three firearms Monday.
According to Muskingum County Sheriff Matt Lutz, Nicholas Tony Bair, 40, and Janet Gartner, 41, are being held in Muskingum County on $2 million and $1.5 million bonds respectively.
The pair, originally from Newark, were taken into custody at a Dresden residence where the cash and one vehicle was seized.
"This investigation continued into rural Kimbolton, where the Licking County natives were operating and storing drugs at a residence in a remote farm house that was very discreet and under the radar from law enforcement," Lutz said.
More than five pounds of methamphetamine was located in a remote farm house in Kimbolten Monday as mult-county agencies investigated one the area's largest drug operations. (Photo: Submitted)
Zanesville Police Chief Tony Coury, whose department makes up part of the task force, said this substantial raid is proof that the task force is diligent in their efforts and successful in their work.
"Do your drugs somewhere else, don't do them in Muskingum County or Licking County or Guernsey County," Coury said. "You will get caught."

Recently, Cathay Pacific’s flight attendant union protested against skirts being compulsory dress code for stewardesses. This case has drawn attention to the underlying sexism in the industry. The union offered a very strong case for the uniform change, arguing it could eliminate gender discrimination and the potential for sexual harassment. The current dress code seems to only gratify the demands of male customers while at the same time reinforcing the deeply ingrained stereotype that, for a woman to dress formally, she must wear something resembling a dress.
This sort of sexism has no place in modern society. It’s ironic that, at a time when there are criticisms aimed at the feminist movement for overextending women’s rights, such a sexist policy has managed to remain in place and people (besides the flight attendants) seem to accept it. However, should we not extend this argument to include other examples of women being forced to wear skirts and dresses for their uniforms?
Talking Points: should teachers and principals wear a uniform?
Surely, if we are to accept that such gender stereotypes are outdated and unfair, it is morally inconsistent to enforce them among our children when it comes to school uniforms. The argument for preventing sexual assaults may be less relevant here, but the fact that we are enforcing gender norms on female students – that they should be wearing dresses as opposed to trousers – at such a young age is equally worrying.
When we examine some of the arguments put forward by the flight attendant union, such as the cold winter flights and the restricted movement, the same applies for school uniforms. It’s common to see students in skirts shivering in the cold in winter, as well as the clear inconvenience wearing such clothes dress causes them.
It’s time the government looked out for the needs of the many, not just the few
Perhaps the problem was never unique to the airline industry in the first place. The broader picture here is that there is a persistent social norm which forces women to appear “feminine” by wearing skirts and dresses. The policy should undoubtedly be abolished in the airline industry. So shouldn’t we do the same with our school uniforms?
In some schools in Britain and around the world, gender-neutral uniforms are slowly replacing the old rigid requirement for gender-specific uniforms, ie. skirts for girls and trousers for boys. Hong Kong should follow suit. To tackle the underlying sexism and the overall moral issue, we must be willing to confront this issue in different contexts and certainly at a younger age.

History at its most exciting
Sometimes you have to go to one place to learn something fascinating about another.
When I was in school, I didn’t enjoy history. It took me years to figure out that some stories of the past are intriguing, even if those tales never seemed to be covered in my history classes. Ancient civilizations, distant lands and forgotten peoples all amazed me with surprises, while everything in school seemed no more than a predictable, boring parade of Western Civilization’s wars, conquests and discoveries.
Later, I would learn that my own culture is also filled with such tales, as marginalized peoples and quiet heroes of all types faced small human dramas that seldom made my history books but, in my opinion, should have. Decades after my last history final, I came to understand that history is these thousands of fascinating stories woven together in the way that got us to where we are now.
My love of poorly understood tales from the past would lead to a fascination with the many advanced cultures in my hemisphere that were demolished by Europeans in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. That lead to a burning desire to visit Machu Picchu, and a few weeks ago I finally got to do so. The whole trip was amazing, and I’ll be posting more about it soon. But this isn’t about that.
While I was in Peru, I got asked what I knew about the massive Maya discovery being made in the Petén region of Guatemala. What??
“Oh yes,” I was told. “It is so big and amazing that soon people will want to visit it instead of Machu Picchu.”
Really? How could I have missed that.
Well, it turns out it never made much of a splash in the U.S. press. Then, I was traveling without my laptop, and trying to use no data on my phone, so my usual sources of news were gone. Instead, I was glancing at newspapers in Spanish as I walked, scanning frantically for pictures of Trump and/or nuclear clouds, in hope of seeing neither. I hadn’t looked for much else.
Once I got back, the story about the great discovery in Guatemala was easy to confirm.
“Using a revolutionary technology known as LiDAR (short for “Light Detection And Ranging”), scholars digitally removed the tree canopy from aerial images of the now-unpopulated landscape, revealing the ruins of a sprawling pre-Columbian civilization that was far more complex and interconnected than most Maya specialists had supposed,” National Geographic informed me.

“A vast network of lost Maya cities discovered deep in the jungles of northern Guatemala could rewrite the history of the ancient civilisation, experts say. Researchers found more than 60,000 previously unknown structures including pyramids, royal tombs, palaces, roadways and defensive fortifications hidden deep beneath the dense rainforest canopy. Pioneering lidar (Light Detection and Ranging) laser scanning technology was used to map 800 square miles from the air, revealing a “treasure map” of the Maya ruins,” The Telegraph informed me all the way from the UK.
Most enticing of all was this report from the London Times.
“The ancient Maya had no metal tools, no wheels, no cattle and no pack animals. They lived in a swamp-ridden and storm-battered region of central America where the landscape seemed resistant to the presence of humans.
Yet, boy, could they build. An aerial survey using lasers to penetrate the vegetation of the Guatemalan jungle has revealed more than 60,000 structures, including pyramids, canals, fortifications and causeways stretching from city to city.
Historians say that the finds point to a society of city states like the world of classical Greece, but with a population of between 8 and 13 million people living in a rainforest the size of Italy.”
Back in 2012, I did a deep dive into the Petén region of Guatemala as it was in the late 1600’s, as I created an imaginary Maya woman to design the clever puzzle that my modern day treasure hunters would discover and attempt to understand. As Nimah took shape in my mind, she developed her own clear voice, and soon her two sons did as well. I spent a happy year in their company.
This is how the resulting book, z2, begins:
When the time came, she knew it, just like her father promised her she would. She saw the signs as her rulers became friendly with the strangers, and she listened with fear as they became ever less cautious. Nimah watched with her own horrified eyes as the singers and priests of the others were finally allowed to walk brazenly into her city and she cried as her neighbors welcomed the invaders.
Of course, the strangers’ warmth disappeared quickly when they did not get their way. When Nimah’s king would not convert to the new religion like they had so clearly expected, the strangers responded to the fine hospitality of the Itza by sending soldiers to convert them by force. The Itza fought back valiantly.
“The day on which you must act will not be long after that,” her father had cautioned. So in the months since that attack, Nimah had been actively preparing herself and her two sons for today. At twenty-six, Nimah thought of herself as responsible and mature, one who took her obligations seriously. She had learned well her people’s history and religion, and because her people kept fine records, there was much to know.
She knew that she was part of the Kan Ek, the ancient race whose rulers were descended from the Gods. She knew that once, more generations ago than there were days in a moon cycle, her people had been far more organized. The lands were bigger then, with many more families, and there had been many cities and giant gatherings where customs were shared. There had been much more wealth and, some had said, much more greatness. But Nimah thought not. She had also learned that lives had been more stringently controlled back then and that there had sometimes been cruel penalties for those who failed or wandered astray.
Many people of that time appeared to have believed that the greatness of the Maya would go on forever. Nimah knew, she had studied their texts. But, over hundreds of years, the carefully recorded famines and droughts and wars had brought an endless string of hard times to the seemingly invincible people. Nimah had studied how, over time, her people had been forced to huddle closer together for strength and how the resulting battles for food and water had shrunk her world. Finally, her own people’s realm encompassed only the area around Tayasal itself, the beautiful town built on the remains of the great old city of Noh Peten.
Now her people, those of the majestic Lake Peten Itza, were free to develop their own rules and more flexible ways. Nimah personally thought that they had evolved, that they were now an older race, one filled with more enlightenment and compassion. So Nimah was glad that she had been born when she was, not at the time when her kings ruled over the most amount of land, but at the time when her people themselves had never been better.
Nimah, of course, is fiction, but she left traces of herself in my brain and heart, as most of my characters do. I’m happy to discover that her world was larger, richer and more complicated than I knew, and I look forward to hearing of the many true tales to be discovered near her home. To me, this is history at its most exciting.
It is more than a little ironic that I had to go all the way to Peru to learn about it.

The Sacramentality of “Things”
December 29, 2012 Posted in Fiction, Religion 4 comments
“What I was really getting at in Running Dog was a sense of the terrible acquisitiveness in which we live, coupled with a final indifference to the object. After all the mad attempts to acquire the thing, everyone suddenly decides that, well, maybe we really don’t care about this so much anyway.”
—From a 1988 interview with novelist Don DeLillo in Rolling Stone
Just under a decade later, DeLillo gave us Underworld, his epochal novel whose first 84 pages contain an almost hypnotic, you-are-there account of the seventh game of the 1951 World Series and the pursuit of the Bobby Thomson home run ball that capped the New York Giants’ improbable comeback against the Brooklyn Dodgers. The ball plays a pivotal role in the novel as it is pursued across time, geography and mystery by would-be possessors who have barely a glimmer of what fuels their own obsession.
Later in Underworld, a small group attends a Dodger game in 1973, and one of them, Nick, possesses what he thinks is the Thomson home run ball (the proven existence of which has been lost to history). Another group member, Sims, challenges the authenticity of the ball, suggesting Nick got duped in paying $34,500 for it. “What do you do, take the ball out of the closet and look at it? Then what?”
Another group member, Glassic, answers on Nick’s behalf:
“He thinks about what it means. It’s an object with a history. He thinks about losing. He wonders what it is that brings bad luck to one person and the sweetest of good fortune to another. It’s a lovely thing in itself besides. An old baseball? It’s a lovely thing, Sims. And this one’s got a pedigree like no other.”
“He got taken big-time,” Sims said. “It’s a worthless object.”
So here we come to the heart of the matter regarding the nature and value of things, of stuff, of one person’s “worthless object” and another’s treasured talisman. Sims challenges the authenticity and thus the “value” of the ball—from a monetary, materialist perspective—while Glassic cites its emotional or “inner” value as a projective tool for Nick’s imagination to roam.
What makes the ball—or your spoon collection or my first edition books—important? Is it the cash they’ll eventually bring from the antique store as we plan how to finance our retirement? Or is there something more profound going on with the things we revere in our lives, something deeper and even, dare I say, sacramental?
All of it saturated with meaning, memory, sanctity—courtesy of our imagination and its mysterious marriage with things.
Look around your house right now. Consider what’s on your walls, stacked in closets and stuffed in drawers. All manner of things, many of them utilitarian and unimportant but many others dear, possessing inestimable emotional value (even as your heirs will be carting most of them off to the thrift store or landfill upon your passing). Maybe that partial set of your grandmother’s china will fetch decent money at the estate sale, but it may be just junk, too—to other people.
To you, it means history, generativity, love, the world itself.
Is the Thomson home run ball’s function as a reflective tool for Nick to contemplate the vicissitudes of life reduced because it may be a phony? One minute we think it’s the “real” ball—or the “real” painting, or the “Authentic Signed First Edition” of Underworld—imbued with all manner of mystical power (and serious cash value!). The next minute, when it’s revealed as a “fake” and a fraud, all its power and value plummet. Same ball, same “thing.” But is it?
When we thought the ball “real,” we were imagining it leaving the pitcher Ralph Branca’s hand, seeing it meet up with Bobby Thomson’s bat and then sailing over the fence as pandemonium breaks out at the Polo Grounds and on the radio waves. (“The Giants win the pennant! The Giants win the pennant!! THE GIANTS WIN THE PENNANT!!!”) We buy the ball, we finger it, we observe what we surmise are its tell-tale cracks. We are transported to that moment, that meeting of ball and bat in time.
Then we discover it’s a fake, and our cord to the past, to that moment, is broken, our imagination robbed. Same ball we had just beheld in reverence and awe, now stripped of magic and power, which is to say, the magic and power of imagination.
Truly, imagination is all. The peculiar human ability to imagine is the basis of all sacrament, all reverence for the things and rituals of this world. This ball, this communion wafer, this Buddha statue perched serenely in my garden, this photo on my refrigerator of my late and beloved brother and I laughing loudly in each other’s arms…All of it saturated with meaning, memory, sanctity—courtesy of our imagination and its mysterious marriage with things.
Yes, Buddhism and Christianity both note that all things in this world are perishable (though they failed to foresee the notable exception of Hostess Twinkies, especially in their original wrapper). But both also take incarnation—the “thingness” of our bodies and beings moving through and loving of this world—with utter seriousness and reverence. In the Christian narrative, God thought enough of this world to send his only begotten son down to redeem it. Buddhism posits that release from the karmic wheel of suffering comes only via utter, absorbed attention to the world in front of our eyes, the stark reality of our moment-to-moment experience. Both traditions posit world-absorption as prelude to seeing into the fathomless depths behind and beyond things, and ultimately to a catapult beyond the world and time itself.
But here, things matter. Things imbue our imaginations, trigger memories, inspire admiration and conversation and communion. Your delicate wind chime, my old mitt, this liquid in a glass on the counter that will soon be poured into this other thing called my stomach—all of it represents the only world we know, offering up its visceral pleasures, its sensory delights, its scratch to our sacramental itch.
It doesn’t mean we need a lot of things, in the endless addiction of acquisitiveness to which DeLillo alludes in the quote leading off this post. It just suggests that the things we do have, whatever their material value, can become pregnant with meaning when inseminated with the eminently powerful force of the human imagination. Which, paradoxically enough, isn’t a “thing” at all…

Dr. Walt McKeown says:
I've often heard it said that "novelists create their own reality to work within it" like a monkey in a monkey cage. It seems to me any intelligent lifeform would have member(s) that would tend to do the same thing.
I was watching a pod of some 70 dolphins frolicing along near the shore the other day while whales went by further offshore. I wondered if whales and/or dolphins would have novelists. I realize that a written record is crucial for such things, but also know that, in the days of Homer on up to Gutenberg's day, people memorized cultural comments and either sang or recited them to the populace.
So do you think that creatures that can never write down anything could write (and share) novels with THEIR own reality? Crazy question, I know, but these are crazy times…
candied says:
Love the essay. Thank you for stewing in such rich juice. I believe imagination is an undervalued character. One shared by all humanity. Yet no one shares my personal imagination.
Dr. Walt, I think creatures share stories in some instinctual way…
ahidas says:
This is a great question—and likely unanswerable, at least for now, with the tools at our disposal—regarding the extent of consciousness, communication and imagination in animals. I think I fall on the speciesist side almost by definition, given my carnivorous, pet-owning ways, but have read enough about dolphin, whale, chimp, elephant, etc. behavior to know there's some powerful stuff going on there among highly sentient creatures. But I think all our attempts to understand it suffer from our anthropomorphic tendencies. Certainly the elaborate, incredibly nuanced nature of our language, painting, and storytelling don't have many observable correlates in the animal kingdom. (My cat and my dog are on either side of me as I type, looking pretty chilled and, I am guessing, not thinking anywhere near as hard as I am right now…) When I am absorbed in a master storyteller or lost in a song or painting or celestial light show, it's hard to fathom animals, with their smaller brains and more limited behavioral repertoire, either creating or experiencing anything too similar. (The only way monkeys have made it to outer space is when we have sent them there.) That said, I suspect you're right, Candi, that some kind of more instinctual, baseline level sharing/storytelling does go on in animals. I'm just suspecting it doesn't have quite the sophistication and nuance of Marilynne Robinson or Don DeLillo! (And perhaps I'll be proven wrong with better tools that crack the code of animal talk in the future.)
Oh, the fickle fate of somethingness. Just the other side of the same coin, I say. Whatever catches our attention (really, no pun intended… well, maybe) seems to be an inkblot of some sort, no? Whether it's Bobby Thompson's home run baseball or one of our endearing pets just being present. It's all good stuff to ponder on. JP :)

Is it compulsory to grow a beard in Islam? Did any of our twelve Imams emphasize on growing a beard?
It is prohibited to shave the beard, and there are narrations from the Ahlulbait (peace be upon them) that state this.
What is the opinion of his Eminence in regards to Wilayat al Faqih? Does he believe in absolute or limited Wilayat?
His eminence (may Allah prolong his life) does not believe in the absolute guardianship of the religious jurist.
Certain branches of fast-food outlets in the Middle-East advertise the food as Halal, so can we eat in those places?
If one finds it probable that the sold meat produce is slaughtered in a religiously accepted way then it is permissible to consume it. It is not permissible to eat if one knows that they are lying.
What qualification should be imam of congregational and Friday prayers have? Is it necessary that he had studied in the Seminaries of Qum or Najaf?
It is necessary in the imam of the congregational prayers to fulfill certain conditions, such as being adil – i.e. to be adhering to the religions laws – and he should be able to recite correctly, and be aware of the religions laws on what is permissible and prohibited. It is not necessary for the imam of the congregational prayer to have been a student of the seminary of Qum or Najaf or any other seminary.

Nina Wilkinson on placement
"I cannot stress how amazing and important placement is."
On placement… in the shooting industry
A successful placement year at what is believed to be the world’s oldest shooting school has made one Harper Adams student set her sights on a career in the industry and, one day, her own business.
Nina Wilkinson carried out her placement at The West London Shooting School, a clay pigeon shooting school which also has a restaurant and retail shop on site.
The 22-year-old, from North Yorkshire, said besides shooting, the business also offered off-roading and fishing, as well as hosting corporate events.
“The best thing about placement was learning so much about the industry. I was visiting Schoffel and Musto headquarters and getting to see the new collections before anyone else in the country, making new friends and seeing a whole other side to the world,” she said.
“One of the many reasons I chose Harper Adams is that the placement was a whole year. In a year you can not only gain incredible experience of the industry that you’re in, but also learn so much about yourself and the big wide world, which makes you a much better choice of candidate when competing for jobs. Many people think that leaving home to go to university is a big step but it’s nothing compared to leaving home to go start a job.”
Nina graduated with a BSc (Hons) Business Management with Marketing degree in 2013 and has high hopes for her future after being inspired by her placement.
“I want to go back into the shooting industry because I love it so much. My mother always told me not to make your hobby your job because you stop enjoying it, but placement taught me that if you make your second favourite hobby your job then you end up with the best job ever.
“I have always wanted to start my own business ever since I was a little girl, hence the reason for doing a Business degree. However, I feel like I want the security of working for someone else for a few years first. I’m quite interested in going abroad because placement made me realise how sheltered farm life can be and gave me a hunger to see more of the world, but I still want to stay true to my roots and to who I am.
She adds: “The placement year means that you have unrivalled experience and gives you the chance to make contacts that can lead to graduate jobs and a life-long career. If you work hard enough you can get to wherever you want to be and Harper Adams is definitely the best place to help you on your way to a land-based career.”

Nina on Harper Adams
Why did you choose to study at Harper Adams?
I didn’t want to go to a city university because coming from an extremely rural background, even though I wasn’t doing an agriculture course, I still wanted to be surrounded by like-minded people. I already had older friends here so I knew it was the institution that would suit me best.
What sort of projects have you been involved in?
In our first year we had to set up businesses for our Enterprise module; our group sold HAU branded underwear which sold out in the first day! My dissertation was a feasibility study into my own business start-up; which is fantastic as it means that I put all that effort into something truly worthwhile and translatable into the real world.
What is the teaching and staff support like?
Are all brilliant – our course manager Pam Whitehouse is always really helpful, friendly and easy to get hold of!
And the facilities?
The facilities here are second to none; and they are just improving more and more. For instance, the Faccenda building – we are in there so often and it didn’t even exist in our first year!
What skills/knowledge have you gained that will be useful now you have graduated?
Placement year is brilliant as it has consolidated everything I have learnt in the classroom.
How would you sum up Harper Adams?
A once in a lifetime experience that you will never get anywhere else whilst still making your parents proud by getting a good degree.
What else did you do in your spare time?
Ladies Rugby – 1st XV Captain in second year
Course Representative
Holland Cooper Clothing university rep in 2nd year
Achieving a CMI qualification through Harper Adams
What careers, in your experience, are available to land-based graduates?
Although farmers are going through some really tough times at the moment there is most definitely a future in the rural sector. If you work hard enough you can get to wherever you want to be and Harper Adams is definitely the best place to help you on your way to a land based career.
Do you think being a graduate will make a difference to your position and salary?
I certainly hope so!! I would like to think that by gaining a good degree classification it shows that I am academic, bright, knowledgeable and hard-working; combined with my references from placement to prove that I can transfer these skills effectively into the real world, this should give me the edge.

Satosy Santa inside his cubicle at the Next Step homeless shelter in Kakaako. He works part-time as a security guard but still lives in the shelter, unable to afford Hawaii's high cost of housing. CLICK FOR LARGE
Working and Homeless
By Nina wu
nwu@starbulletin.com
» FIRST | SECOND | THIRD OF THREE PARTS
SATOSY SANTA, 63, has a dream.
He moved to Honolulu, seeking health care and following in the steps of his grown daughter, hoping to one day work full-time here and to be able to rent a home to provide for his family.
A native of Chuuk in Micronesia, Santa worked for 15 years in the fire and police department there, rising as high as second in command, but hasn't been able to transfer those skills into a law-enforcement job in Hawaii.
He now works part-time as a security guard for American Guard in Honolulu, and lives full-time at the Next Door homeless shelter in Kakaako. He's been there pretty much since the day the shelter opened a year ago.
"I'd like to find a job in the fire or police department," he said. "This is what I know, and this is what I like, to combat crime."
Last year, more than a quarter of the homeless living in state shelters were employed, 11 percent part-time and 17 percent full-time, according to the 2006 Homeless Service Utilization Report by the University of Hawaii's Center on the Family.
On neighbor islands, the percentage of working homeless was even higher.
Despite having the lowest unemployment rate in the nation, Hawaii has the fourth-highest rate of homelessness per capita, according to a recent study.
Homeless service providers say this is not surprising, given that the bulk of available jobs are minimum wage, and do not provide enough for rents averaging above $1,000 a month, compounded by the high cost of living in Hawaii.
While many homeless people here are unemployed because of disability, mental illness or other social issues, there are others who rise each morning from their shelter beds, beach tents or parks to go to work.
A total of 74 out of 215 adults at Next Step -- or more than 30 percent of the residents -- are employed, according to data from the Affordable Housing and Homeless Alliance, the lead agency running the shelter.
Next Door shelter manager Utu Langi said residents there work a gamut of jobs, from driving commercial trucks to busing tables in restaurants, and doing yard work for landscaping companies.
"Unfortunately, they work the kind of jobs that can only pay so much," said Langi. "But it helps some of the folks begin to save to get their own housing."
Many shelter residents prefer not to disclose their homeless status to their employers because of the stigma attached.
Langi said skills training for higher-paying jobs is key.
"That is, to me, one of the pieces of the puzzle," he said. "If we're going to solve homelessness, we need to train these guys in skills so they can go out and get a job and be self-sustainable."
He said non-profit groups have brought job assistance programs to the shelter. The state offers job assistance programs, as well, ranging from First-to-Work to SEE Hawaii Work.
"What's happening more and more is you have a family where they both work," said Darlene Hein, program coordinator for the Waikiki Health Center Care-A-Van. "They have six kids and live in a one-bedroom apartment."
Then -- as the scenario typically unfolds -- they get notice that their rent is increasing beyond their budget, and a desperate hunt for another apartment comes up empty.
The number of affordable rentals is still inadequate, said Hein, and shrinking as many developers convert to condominiums or time-shares.
Hein said many of the homeless work odd jobs in the underground economy rather than in the regular 9-to-5 world, and it's even tougher when you're on the streets.
Michael Ullman, a homeless services consultant who worked on the 2006 utilization report said an increasing number of Micronesians, such as Santa, are now living in shelters.
Many times, they will have a home with more than three families under the roof, and some of the members will go to a shelter in order to get on an affordable housing waiting list.
In Santa's case, his daughter's studio is simply too small to share, along with her young children.
Santa's nephew, Kerk, also stays at the shelter, with his wife and three young children. He works full-time as a runner and prep cook at California Pizza Kitchen.
Many Micronesians come to Hawaii seeking health care, provided by the U.S. government under the Compact of Free Association.
Ullman himself does not believe that building more shelters is the solution.
"A lot of cities like Chicago don't build shelters because they realize it's a failed solution," he said. "Move them directly into housing and provide them with support. Either give them some assistance for rent, or a tax break to pay for rent. Building shelters only creates more homelessness."
But Santa says he's grateful for the Next Step shelter. "Because I have no place else to go," he said.

A First World War Allies Desk Top Box, 1914
Measurements: 19.5cm (7.75in) x 9.2cm (3.6in) x 6.4cm (2.5in)
Silver plate. Rectangular box, the hinged lid cast in relief with a design by R. Caton Woodville (1857-1921) of British infantry overrunning a German field gun beneath the concluding lines from Rudyard Kipling’s poem ‘All That We Have And Are’ - ‘Who stands if freedom falls, who dies if England lives’. The sides cast with portrait busts of George V, Albert I, King of the Belgians, the President of France, Edward, Prince of Wales, King Nicholas I of Montenegro, Tsar Nicholas II of Russia, King Peter I of Serbia, and Emperor Taishō of Japan.
Kipling’s patriotic poem ‘All That We Have And Are’ was published in the Times in 1914 to promote recruitment and used, as in the case of this box, to help raise funds for war charities.

Intense Winter Storm Snarls Traffic Along Highways in Arizona, California - The Weather Channel
Crews clearing vehicles from the Southern California mountains.
(Twitter: @CHPFortTejon)
Parts of Interstate 17 and 40 were closed late Thursday into early Friday in northern Arizona due to heavy snow.
One hundred miles of Interstate 5 in Northern California were closed Thursday due to multiple spinouts.
All lanes of the road reopened by Wednesday evening.
A portion of Interstate 80 was also shut down.
Thousands lost power due to high winds.
A winter storm is snarling holiday traffic in parts of the West after stopping traffic across portions of northern Arizona, California and Oregon this week.
The National Weather Service noted Friday morning that travel was not recommended due to the heavy and blowing snow through at least midday. The Flagstaff area reported 8 to 12 inches of snowfall as of early Friday, with 15 inches measured at the Grand Canyon (South Rim).
In California, a portion of Interstate 5 from Grapevine to Castaic through Tejon Pass closed Thursday morning as heavy snow sweeps through the higher elevations. Snow gates were opened on I-5 near Santa Clarita to force northbound cars back southbound and down in elevation. Southbound lanes fully reopened Thursday afternoon. Several other major routes through Southern California are also closed.
The unusually intense winter storm downed trees, knocked out power and closed highways in parts of California Wednesday.
Motorists on Interstate 5 in Northern California reported being stuck on the road for hours and some spent the night in their cars, The Associated Press reported.
The California Department of Transportation and California Highway Patrol work to reopen a stretch of Interstate 5 in the northern part of the state on Wednesday, Nov. 27. 2019, after a winter storm caused multiple motor vehicle accidents and traffic backups.
(Caltrans District 2 via Twitter)
Christina Williams of Portland, Oregon, told the AP that it took her and her 13-year-son 17 hours to reach Redding, California, a journey that would normally take 10 hours.
Williams told the AP she and other stranded drivers used weather-related hashtags to connect on the social media platform Twitter and share information on road conditions. Williams described “spin-outs everywhere” and abandoned trucks.
"There were spin-outs everywhere, there were trucks that were abandoned and every time we stopped and started moving again, there were people who couldn't start moving again," she said. "Every time we stopped I was like, is this it? Are we going to be here overnight?"

About 100 miles of Interstate 5 between Yreka and Redding near the Oregon border was closed Tuesday night and into early Wednesday morning due to multiple vehicle spinouts, according to the California Department of Transportation. The southbound lanes reopened Wednesday morning. The northbound lanes reopened heading from Redding, California, all the way to the Oregon border Wednesday evening.
Authorities were working to remove "the extremely large number of vehicles" off the road.
"Those vehicles must be removed in order to get traffic flowing normally and the road plowed," Caltrans tweeted earlier in the day.
The southbound portion of the interstate was also shut down from Ashland, Oregon, due to the conditions in Northern California, but has reopened.
The westbound lanes of Interstate 80 between Truckee and Nyack were also closed Wednesday morning due to multiple spinouts, the California Highway Patrol said. The roadway later reopened to passenger vehicles only.
The Placer County Sheriff's Office posted video of whiteout conditions in North Lake Tahoe.
Several other state highways in Northern California were closed or down to one lane overnight and into Wednesday morning due to snow, ice or trees blocking the roadway, Caltrans said. Highway 20 in Nevada County was closed near the intersection of I-80 due to whiteout conditions and excessive snow, and Highway 49 was closed between Downieville and Sattley in Sierra County.
Winter storm warnings were in effect across much of the region. The National Weather Service in Sacramento said travel was highly discouraged. The NWS advised travelers to be prepared for major delays and near-whiteout conditions in some areas. The worst impacts were expected today across the northern Sierra Nevada.
"The timing is unfortunate for holiday travel because it's going to have a lot of wintry impacts," Kevin Durphee, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service, told KFSN-TV.
The NWS in Eureka warned that rain and hail were making roads slippery.
More than 76,000 homes and businesses were without power in California Wednesday morning, according to PowerOutage.us. Many of the outages were caused by high winds.
The storm met the criteria for a bomb cyclone as it moved toward the coasts of Northern California and southern Oregon on Tuesday, meaning its pressure dropped rapidly. The Weather Channel has named the system Winter Storm Ezekiel.
The storm's impacts started Tuesday and continued overnight, with snow, rain and heavy winds.
Authorities asked travelers to practice care when driving and check road conditions before heading out.
"There's going to be a lot of extra vehicles on the roadway," Shasta Tollefson with the California Highway Patrol told KFSN. "Give yourself plenty of time when you are heading out the door, and if you have a normal four-hour travel time, make sure that you give yourself six hours."

Review – Space: 1999 – Breakout
This is Wilf Base Alpha.
I cannot know if you will receive this message but I’ve just heard ‘Breakaway,’ the new Space: 1999 audio drama from Big Finish.
Why would they do this? This ‘reimagining’ of the TV programme from Gerry and Sylvia Anderson, who brought us the likes of Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlet and UFO. Twenty years to the day after the 13th of September 1999, when the events of the original 1975 series began.
The Andersons and producer Reg Hill were known for intricately beautiful miniature effects and stylish designs in futuristic adventures on the small screen, the sort of thing parents show their kids when when they want them to grow up to be engineers.
By the time Space: 1999 was broadcast they’d made some progress toward widening their audience, mixing their love of technology and thrills with some nice moments of humanity. But the programme remained primarily a visual spectacle.
Big Finish love stories, however, and this one’s worth bringing into the future. A cataclysm with dire consequences for all Humanity is played out on the eve of its first foray to a distant planet.
A mysterious and deadly illness strikes the pilots of Eagle transporters, spacecraft servicing space voyage preparations at Moonbase Alpha. The base’s chief medical officer Helena Russell is aided in her search for a cure by John Koenig, who flies out from Earth to take command of the lunar city. As the nature of the disease becomes apparent, the scope of their crisis expands to disastrous proportions.
Big Finish have invigorated the adventure with a better sense of pace (that’s not to say they don’t let moments hang where they should) and a refreshing emphasis on character drama. The delightful gadgets of the original ‘1999’ can still be heard in use – Eagles, Moonbase travel tubes and hand-held Commlocks – it’s just that a model-maker’s sort of skill is instead applied to the intricacy of the soundscape.
There’s an interesting use of music in this story. Beyond simply hinting and sweetening action in progress, composer Benji Clifford inserts brief musical interludes to excite us in tantalising moments, such as the retrieval of an escape pod containing an unidentified passenger. Fans of the original series will appreciate familiar melodies amid the score, in addition to a familiar but fresh version of the original theme tune.
The unique selling point of this audio drama is no gimmick: it’s obeisance to the fact that what happens with the characters is everything. It makes this speculative exercise of the imagination into something we respond to as if it were really happening. Eagle transporters are cool but the challenge of surviving one crashing is really where it’s at.
Commander Koenig is played by Mark Bonnar, an actor familiar to Doctor Who viewers as the working father Jimmy in The Matt Smith story Rebel Flesh and as the supervillian known as The Eleven, who besets Paul McGann’s Doctor in audio. Mark hails from Edinburgh and follows the likes of Hugh Laurie in delivering an American accent good enough to live in. His Koenig is very relatable; the pain of each challenge glows darkly over him but his endurance shines brightly.
Maria Teresa Creasey is a new name to many of us – California born and New York educated, she’s nonetheless been rolled into a variety of UK productions. The Dr Russell she plays here is refreshingly active in the way she squares off against the impossible situation presented. It allows us to get get a good sense of her character early on. Big Finish have assembled a good pair of leaders in Creasey and Bonnar.
This 2019 view of an imagined, futuristic past makes an interesting novelty. A particular ‘minced oath’ dropped by Helene is a few years out of date by our standards but it comes from a time far beyond 1975. It’s not too far off from 1999, though. It kept me on my toes as I speculated on what might and might not be possible for the inhabitants of this story’s world.
A contemporary zeitgeist captured here (and one of my favourite Anglicisms) is brinkmanship. Both versions of ‘Breakaway’ begin by hiding Moonbase’s dire situation from Koenig but here, the stakes are higher: crowds of the general public are on Alpha, unaware of the expanding epidemic of pilot illness. The administration on Earth responds to this by redoubling its efforts to cover it all up.
Writer/director Nicholas Briggs has sanded smooth a number of rough edges that marred the uneven TV pilot. Sci-fi’s best known writer Isaac Asimov famously had a go at the old series’ scientific implausibility. The fantastic catastrophe played out in audio presents us with a nice combination of nods to real science and plausible fantasy. This puts our focus back on the drama and adds weight to its consequences.
Flawed as it was, the old Space: 1999 sometimes captured the awe felt by those of us who remember the Apollo space programme. I can barely wait to hear how this new crew face the unknown because what we can count on is that the characters and situations here are in good hands.
Space: 1999 – ‘Breakaway’ is available now from Big Finish.
Beeblepete out.

Review – Rose Tyler: The Dimension Cannon
The Dimension Cannon gives the character Rose Tyler her own series, in four audio dramas by Big Finish Productions. Billie Piper reprises her role as the first of The Doctor’s travelling companions in 21st century Doctor Who.
Shop girl turned sci-fi action hero Rose Tyler is consigned to a parallel universe with her mum, Jackie (Camille Coduri) and a parallel version of her dear departed dad, Pete (Shaun Dingwall). They’ve turned their attention to helping protect not only their world from extraordinary threats but also many other Earths. They’re following in the footsteps of Rose’s beloved Doctor: the charismatic, time-travelling space alien whose defence of Rose’s Earth left her separated from it – and him.
The Dimension Cannon offers Rose a chance to bring The Doctor back into the fight – and into her life again. For short periods of time the cannon allows her to visit other parallel universes that offer clues to the whereabouts of The Doctor. On her first trip she’s reunited with a parallel version of Clive, a conspiracy theorist who was murdered in Rose’s universe. Bark Benton reprises the role of Clive throughout the set and it’s good fun to have him back.
The four stories take us to four new parallel versions of London, where we’re introduced to startling alternate versions of the well-loved characters that head up this series. This collection of audios is not so much a spin-off from Doctor Who as it’s a spiritual follow-on from ‘Father’s Day,’ the episode that introduced us to the ‘original’ Pete Tyler and led us through dark times leading up to his death.
Chasing The Doctor inevitably means getting to know the locals in each different London and Rose finds she already knows many of them all too well. She gets personally involved in the lives of the people she meets, encountering Jackie, Pete and others in slightly different forms. It makes arriving in each universe a treat for the listener – and leaving each of them is tough all round.
Big Finish tie-in plays lure us into the audio realm by offering us characters and situations that are proven successes on television. They honour these successes with intriguing stories that at least equal their predecessors in quality. Rose’s story in Doctor Who has a lot of heart – and heartbreak. These new tales are equally engaging character pieces.
By presenting so many alternate versions of the original roles played by the cast, the normally-invisible work of the actors gets a bit of a peek into the limelight. I was properly immersed in and moved by the drama here but I also enjoyed listening for the subtle differences between the characters parallel to each other.
I’m very much opposed to more for more’s sake; I hate seeing delightful series run down by commercial supplements. You’ll find none of that here in Rose Tyler: The Dimension Cannon. This box set revisits the Tylers in a clever way that gives us more of what we’re counting on in ways that constantly surprise.
Rose Tyler: The Dimension Cannon is available now from Big Finish.

Review-Torchwood: The Hope
The Big Finish Torchwood range is always advertised with “This release contains adult material and may not be suitable for younger listeners” never has that statement been truer, than with this release. One of the many things James Goss excels at, is bleak. After giving us all nightmares with Corpse Day. He’s back with The Hope.
Megwyn Jones is one of the most hated women in Britain. She used to run a home for troubled children in an isolated part of Snowdonia called The Hope. For a long time there were rumours about what was happening there, and then one day it was realised that the children had gone missing.
Ever since, Megwyn’s kept her peace. Is she innocent? Is she guilty? Where are the bodies?
An audio play about a convicted child-murderer is never going to be an easy listen. However, James Goss has carved something of a masterpiece here. This is an audio that definitely rewards repeat listening.
Burn Gorman and Tom Price had such brilliant chemistry, in Corpse Day that I’ve been waiting impatiently for a follow up, ever since. Their chemistry is still present and their scenes together are pure gold. Andy’s eternal optimism is a perfect foil for Owen’s eternal pessimism. They also get a chance to shine separately, in scenes that are up there with the most horrific in Torchwood’s history. Siân Phillips is mesmerising as Megwyn Jones, you instantly dislike Megwyn-but you’re also fascinated by her.
The Hope couldn’t be any further away in tone, than last month’s ‘Serenity’. But that’s what makes this series so great. I enjoyed Torchwood on TV. But Big Finish Torchwood, is Torchwood at its absolute best.

Review-Torchwood:Serenity
Serenity Plaza is the most exclusive gated community in South Wales.
Jack and Ianto have gone undercover as a happily married couple. There are rumours that something’s wrong at Serenity Plaza and they’re determined to investigate. But the problem is that Serenity Plaza is just so rigidly normal.
Suddenly, Jack and Ianto have to confront the problems that normal couples face. Sharing a house together, doing the washing up, entering the residents’ baking contest, and hoping to win the Best Kept Lawn.
Competition is fierce. Because this is Serenity Plaza. And you’d kill to live there.
Torchwood: Serenity is James Moran’s first Big Finish audio, so it’s fitting that it’s a sequel to his series 2 episode ‘Sleeper’ and this does what any good sequel should, it develops the threat originally presented and adds layers and complexities-all whilst playing to the strengths the medium of audio allows. Moran has crafted a continuation, that logically feels like the next step in the story.
Jack and Ianto’s relationship has always been popular with fans, so it’s great to have an outing featuring the pair. John Barrowman and Gareth David-Lloyd are clearly having a lot of fun here. The script is full of innuendo, with GDL playing Ianto as a Stepford Wife-type. He even gets to turn his Welshness up to 11.
I laughed a lot and I laughed hard with this audio, this is one Torchwood fans won’t want to miss.

At first it seems like Captain Jack Harkness, leader of the ‘beyond the police’ Torchwood organisation and time-travelling Doctor Who companion turned eco-warrior Jo Jones (née Grant) would be quite a contrast when paired. But in ‘Torchwood: The Green Life’ the two are bound as much by what they share as what divides them.
Jo, in this story, is decades older than the girl who once travelled with The Doctor. Everything she learned from her time with UNIT is sewn into this Jo of today and much more besides. This woman is a good match for the immortal Jack, whose dashing young appearance only partially conceals how much of his strength is devoted to enduring a string of painful deaths and centuries. Big Finish audio dramas never shy from the role appearances play in stories when it’s relevant: here we have a pair of lovely fan favourites set amid some gruesome situations.
We’re back in Llanfairfach, the Welsh locale of the 1970s Doctor Who serial, The Green Death. The story then – of pollution-bred giant maggots and a technically-adept evil corporation – continues here. As Jack and Jo clamber over old territory we learn new things about them both.
Katy Manning has kindly returned to play Jo now and again in the past couple of decades – in television and in audio – and each time we get a hint or two about the character’s life since the 1970s. Here there’s quite a bit of her back story, particularly with regards to Llanfairfach. It’s a treat to hear the world of Jo Jones expanding into a mini-franchise of its own.
John Barrowman has been equally generous in his support, for the Torchwood franchise and for the ‘Whoniverse’ in general. He continues his regular contributions to Torchwood on audio here, with a bit of a new challenge: the gentlest members of Jack’s team were never as ‘right on’ as lovely Ms Jones. In Jack’s world, he and his go to some rather harsh extremes, they take their lumps and then find some way to make peace with themselves afterwards. Jo presents him with a world where there are certain lines that are simply not crossed. Where right and wrong don’t often intermingle. Where loyalty is everything.
The legacy elements of this story are taken in genuinely new directions. We get some detail about how the scientific advances of the 70’s Wholeweal community have developed in the years since. We learn a bit more about Llanfairfach as a population centre and its lifestyle in 2019. And we’re presented with something new that has gone very, very wrong. It’ll certainly inform a listener’s first real-world glimpse of a self-driving lorry.

Review-The Diary of River Song 4
After adventures with the eighth, seventh and sixth Doctors. River Song finally meets with the legendary Fourth Doctor, in The Diary of River Song Series 4.
When River Song visits a place where time has vanished, a genie escapes its bottle… the Discordia are freed – nihilistic time pirates, in devilish form, altering the past to make sure they never lose.
Emma Reeves and Matt Fitton’s Time in a bottle, has a fascinating story idea. There’s a place in space with no time. That’s such an interesting concept for a story. However, I can’t help but feel this story is wasted in a box set format. There’s nothing wrong with it, it’s a strong concept, with great writing and a superb cast, with writers at the very top of their game. I just feel the time constraints of a boxset limit the stories true potential.
This would’ve made a very interesting four-part story in its own right.
Regardless, it’s a solid introductory adventure that sets up the premise and introduces the main villain. It also takes the interesting angle. It feels like a good old fashioned pulp adventure. James Bond-esque in places. It pits River against her intellectual rival and shows her at her most Doctor-like state.
‘Kings of Infinite Space’ may not have the most original plot, but it is very entertaining and rewards repeat listening. It’s easily the strongest of the set. It’s well paced, paradoxical and fun. Alex Kingston and the rest of the cast are on top form. It feels like a Moffat era Doctor Who story. There’s action, humour, with a great use of the vortex manipulator and the locations that time travel opens up. It’s everything you could want from a River Song audio.
‘Whodunnit’ is an oddity in this boxset. Now, that isn’t me saying it’s bad. Far from it. The concept is interesting, with some thought-provoking philosophical discussions, the characters are three-dimensional and it’s well paced. However, it just doesn’t fit this box set. Like time in a bottle, this would’ve made a great main range story. Given more time to fully explore the premise, this could’ve been great. But I felt it interrupted the flow of the story ark.
That said, it’s an interesting listen with a fun take on the cliches of murder mysteries.
Someone I once knew, is the big one. The season finale, the one fans are excited for and it delivers. John Dorney brilliantly subverts expectation and puts an interesting spin on the River/Doctor dynamic.
Tom Baker and Alex Kingston have an instant rapport and a naturally brilliant chemistry. I would welcome future stories with this duo. Their chemistry is so natural, it’s difficult to believe they only met on the day of recording.
Series four of ‘The Diary of River Song’ perfectly meshes the unique styles of the Steven Moffat era and Big Finish originality.
Not every story works completely and suffers from what most prequels do. Giving River companions is always going to be tricky, as we’ve never encountered or heard mention of them in the main show, you know they’re a goner the second they’re introduced.
At times the fourth Doctor feels more like a plot device, than an active companion. But this set is an absolute joy to listen to and has left me excited for series 5.

Big Finish review-The Siege of Big Ben
Jackie Tyler has everything she’s ever wanted: a loving husband and two children. But a terrible, far-reaching plan is underway, and only Jackie and a single friend stand in the way of it.
But the Doctor isn’t the man he was…
The Siege of Big Ben is a highly anticipated release. Ever since we left the Tylers and the meta-crisis tenth Doctor at the end of series 4, (10 years ago!) fans have wondered what happened next. Thankfully, Big Finish has given us some answers with this release.
This can’t have been an easy thing to write. Not only did Joe Lidster have to tell a gripping story that lives up to the fans expectations. He had to re-introduce us to the parallel Earth, or “Pete’s world”.
A base under siege scenario is a stablemate for Doctor Who. But Lidster manages to beautifully subvert what could be a repetitive format and turn it into a glorious character piece.
The script draws parallels between The Doctor being more human, and the human, being more like The Doctor we know and love. Having Jackie be the most Doctor-like character in the story adds an interesting dynamic.
The script is sharp, the direction is smooth and David Roocroft’s sound design is inspired. All in all, The Siege of Big Ben is a story about love, loss and the difficulties that come with moving on. You feel all of these things whilst listening. Camille Coduri oozes charm and instantly reminds you, why we all love Jackie Tyler.
This world is waiting for further exploration and I hope, this leads to some full-cast adventures.

Big Finish review-Torchwood: Goodbye Piccadilly
Sgt Andy Davidson wakes up in the 1950s. He’s chained to a bed, his clothes are missing and the building’s on fire. Norton Folgate needs his help. The streets of Soho are swarming with gangsters, rumours and betrayals. Somewhere out there is a mysterious alien artefact, and Andy and Norton have to get to it first. Because tonight they’re going to save Torchwood.
I’ve been looking forward to another adventure with Andy and Norton, since last year’s Ghost Mission. There’s just something about this pairing that works so well.
Goodbye Piccadilly is absolutely gripping, from start to finish, the script is sensational. The direction is smooth, the sound design is flawless. Tom Price, Samuel Barnett and the supporting cast all give pitch-perfect performances.
What’s great about this audio, is that all of the London events-bar the alien invasion and the time travel, are real.
James Goss took his research for this story extremely seriously, he looked at books such as ‘hidden London’ for inspiration and it shows. The life drawing class, the police raids and, gay men being hosed down are all things that actually happened in the 1950’s.
Big Finish has once again proved that Torchwood Big Finish, is Torchwood at its best.

REVIEW: BIG FINISH: JENNY — THE DOCTOR’S DAUGHTER
She’s got planets to save, civilisations to rescue, creatures to defeat… and an awful lot of running to do!
It’s difficult to believe the character of Jenny debuted in Doctor Who 10 years ago. Since then fans have wondered whatever happened to The Doctor’s daughter?
The character was rife for further exploration and it’s amazing the BBC never thought to bring her back.
Thankfully, we have Big Finish. They’ve taken the character and given her a range of her own.
The scripts are sharp, funny and perfectly honed. A lot of work and love has clearly gone into this box set. The stories are kinetic and full of real world allegories; which in lesser hands could’ve come across as clunky.
Georgia Tennant and Sean Biggerstaff have an instant chemistry as Jenny and Noah. A personal highlight, is the fact that they allow Jenny to be fun. She makes jokes, which work well and relives tension in scenes. The mystery surrounding Noah is intriguing and you finish the audios with even more questions about him.
Big Finish have done it again. The Doctor’s daughter is fantastic, a breath of fresh air. The theme music is epic. familiar but different. It perfectly encapsulates the Doctor’s nature in Jenny. The stories and the cast are engaging. The sound design is flawless.
Jenny-The Doctor’s daughter is firing on all cylinders. A perfect synergy between cast and crew. I’m practically begging for series 2.

MotoGP – highside and broken collarbone rules Pedrosa out of Japan
Repsol Honda’s Dani Pedrosa has suffered a huge highside crash in FP2 at Japan’s Twin Ring Motegi, breaking his right collarbone in the process.
The Spaniard, the most successful rider at the venue, lost the rear of his bike at Turn 11, and the vicious highside has left him requiring surgery.
He will be replaced in Japan by former 250 World Champion Hiroshi Aoyama, who also subbed for the Spaniard in 2015.
Pedrosa said: “Obviously I’m very sad about what happened, as I was looking forward to racing in Japan at Honda’s home circuit and one of my favourite tracks. “I was on the out-lap of my last run in FP2 when I momentarily lost the rear entering turn 11, and when the tyre found grip again it launched me in the air.”There’s not much more to say; now I just want to focus on...

New metal – Yamaha R6
Here it is – the eagerly-anticipated Yamaha R6, the manufacturer’s all-new supsersports machine.
It’s been a long wait, and the bike more than lives up to the hype. This is no evolution, think more full-blown full-on technical revolution.
Yes, the engine and chassis may be essentially the same, but the 2017 R6 features a revised suspension package, ABS brakes, traction control, and an optional quickshifter.
The ride-by-wire system has three riding modes, which can change the throttle response and engine map for more or less throttle aggressiveness, while there is also six-stage traction control, which can be switched off. Yamaha claims it is so smart it can even take adapt to tyre wear throughout a race or track session – trick.
Visually the bike apes the R1’s styling cues, which...

BMW unveils vision of the future – the VISION NEXT 100 Motorrad concept
BMW has unveiled its vision of how it thinks motorcycling could look in 100 years with its VISION NEXT 100 Motorrad concept.
BMW envisions a future where two-wheel vehicles have enough onboard intelligence to make it possible for riders to use them without protective clothing, and while the emphasis here is still on the thrill of the ride, the concept’s intelligent rider aids means safety is paramount.
BMW claims the Motorrad’s systems will be smart enough to anticipate the road ahead and offer guidance on what to do to avoid incidents, and it can even step in and take over to prevent anything from happening if necessary. However, the really clever part is the use a self-balancing system that absolutely prevents the possibility of the bike toppling over, either when in motion or when...

New metal – BMW R nineT Pure and the R nineT Racer
BMW has added to more models to its achingly cool nineT range – the R nineT Pure and the R nineT Racer.
The R nineT Pure is a stripped back retro street bike while the R nineT Racer gains a half-fairing and becomes the manufacturer’s take on a café racer.
It’s the racer that drew the attention of the crowd at its launch at INTERMOT, with its styling and white, blue, and red paint scheme earning particular praise.
However, beneath its bygone styling lies a bike with cutting edge rider aids including BMW’s Automatic Stability Control (ASC) and anti-locking brakes.
If it goes as well as it looks we’re in for a treat.
New metal – 2017 Yamaha MT-10 SP
What you’re looking at here is the 2017 Yamaha MT-10 SP, a hardcore version 0f the manufacturer’s already accomplished streetfighter.
The bike has received Öhlins semi-active suspension, a quickshifter and slipper clutch, all the trinkets the bike needs to confront its tech-heavy European rivals head on.
The standard bike is already excellent (see our review earlier this year) and these simple enhancements will refine the package even further and give it even more bang per buck.
We can’t wait to ride it…
New metal – 2017 Honda CBR1000RR SP and SP2
One of the most eagerly-awaited sportsbikes of recent year’s has finally broken cover – the 2017 Honda CBR1000RR SP.
Honda has actually released two versions, the Fireblade SP and SP2 which it unveiled at INTERMOT.
The new SP isn’t the revolution we were expecting, think of it more as an evolution designed to bring the bike back on an equal footing with its rivals, which means there’s no new engine configuration (V4), ground-breaking technology or mindblowing performance figures.
However, the bike has been radically overhauled – power is up by 11bhp to 190bhp and a massive 15kg has been lopped off the bike’s weight, and this has led to a 14% increase in the Honda CBR1000RR’s power-to-weight ratio. The engine itself is a relatively unworked version of the existing unit, and the power...

New metal – GSX-R1000 and GSX-R1000R
Suzuki returned to the drawing board when it came to its flagship superbike, designing and building a brand new machine using technology developed from competition in MotoGP.
Both the GSX-R1000 and GSX-R1000R utilise an all-new, 999.8cc inline four-cylinder engine, which uses Suzuki Racing Variable Valve Timing (SR-VVT), and a new finger-follower valve train as part of Suzuki’s Broad Power System. Developed for use on the firm’s GSX-RR MotoGP racer, the system allows the new engine to produce strong low-midrange power, before the variable valve timing system boosts top-end output.
Suzuki’s SR-VVT is a compact and lightweight mechanical system, that is built into the intake sprocket and is activated by centrifugal force, while the new finger-follower valve train is 6g lighter than a...
WSBK – dominant Davies shine in Race 2 at Magny-Cours
Ducati’s Chaz Davies shone again at Race 2 at Magny-Cours, dominating the race to claim his second win of the weekend.
The race started with polesitter Jonathan Rea (Kawasaki Racing Team) getting off the line well, but he was quickly overtaken first by his teammate Tom Sykes and then by Davies.
The fourth lap saw Sykes attempting to pull the pin and run away at the front, and he succeeded building up a gap of about a second on Davies and Rea, but then in the fifth lap, Rea overtook Davies to move into second place.
By mid-race point the battle between the two Kawasaki riders for the top step of the podium began to heat up, and Rea and Sykes were within less than three tenths of one another, with Davies a second and a half behind.
Everything changed in the eighteenth lap, when...

BSB – double delight for Haslam at Assen takes championship to the wire at Brands
Kawasaki’s Leon Haslam scored a double victory at Assen to move to within 17 points of Shane 'Shakey' Byrne, enough to take the championship fight to the wire.
In an incredible opening race Haslam beat his title rival Byrne to the finish line by just 0.010s in a hard-fought contest which opened the penultimate round of the season at Assen.
At the start of the race James Ellison initially led the pack from pole-sitter Byrne with Luke Mossey, Jason O'Halloran and Haslam all in close contention. Mossey was instantly on the move and the young contender dived through ahead of Ellison to lead mid-way through the opening lap, but as they crossed the line he had repaid the move to regain the position.
By lap three Mossey was leading the field from Ellison and Byrne, but the pair were...
BSB – Byrne sets Assen alight with 50th career pole
Shane 'Shakey' Byrne set the fastest ever BSB lap of Assen to claim the 50th pole position of his career, firing his Be Wiser Ducati in front of the JG Speedfit Kawasaki duo of James Ellison and Leon Haslam ahead of tomorrow’s two crucial races.
Christian Iddon had been one of the first riders to set a time, but the Tyco BMW rider then headed into the gravel before rejoining and trying to improve, but with an incredibly tight pack and the top seven riders under the existing lap record, he will start ninth on the grid.
Byrne then moved to the top of the times as Ellison hunted him down, but the championship leader continued to up the pace and then fired in an incredible lap that kept his rivals at bay. Ellison was also coming under attack from his team-mate Haslam, but at the...
WSBK – Inspired tyre choice powers Davies to Race 1 win at Magny-Cours
Ducati team took its sixth win of the season in Magny-Cours, France, thanks to Chaz Davies’ triumph in Race 1.
With a wet track at the start of the race, Davies, who finished Superpole in third position, opted for intermediate tyres and although the Welshman’s choice was non-conformist, as most riders chose wet compounds, it eventually proved to be inspired.
Davies had to bide his time initially as the track was slippery, and was momentarily pushed out of the top ten, but soon mounted an incredible comeback that – as his opponents were forced to pit – saw him win with a ten-second advantage. It was Davies’ sixth victory of the year, a personal record.
He said: “I tried to make an educated guess on tyres, as in the past we haven’t always opted for the best strategy in these...
News – first glimpse of 2017 Ducati SuperSport
This is the first proper glimpse of Ducati’s new SuperSport.
The bike, which is officially being unveiled at INTERMOT next week, is a spare parts bitsa, borrowing the Hyperstrada’s engine, the Monster’s chassis, and the Panigale’s front fairing.
Designed for spirited weekend rides and short-distance touring, the bike fills a narrow niche in Ducati’s line-up, slotting in between the Hyperstrada 939, the Panigale 959 and the Monster 821.
More to follow when the 2017 Ducati SuperSport officially debuts in Germany on Tuesday.

New kit – BMW Motorrad Street Air by Alpinestars
BMW Motorrad is launching the BMW Motorrad Street Air by Alpinestars, an advanced airbag system offering comprehensive upper body protection and the freedom to ride a motorbike in both on- and offroad situations.
The technology is adopted from the current Alpinestars Tech-Air® street airbag system, a system which requires no motorbike-mounted sensors and instead relies on a sophisticated algorithm that detects imminent danger and inflates the full upper body airbag to provide a highly-effective crash protection system ahead of the first impact.
The BMW Motorrad Street Air Dry by Alpinestars textile riding jacket is designed to interconnect with the Alpinestars airbag system vest and is an essential component for the system to be fully operational.

France – new glove law rolled out
It is now mandatory for motorcyclists in France to carry EC homologated motorcycle gloves.
The move is the result of the 2015 decision of the Interministerial Committee for Road Safety, which now comes into force and applies to all drivers of motorcycles, tricycles and quads such as the Piaggio MP3 or Quadro.
Any rider or pillion stopped by police not wearing approved gloves can be issued a €68 fine.
The new law is the result of a French study which found that 12 % of motorcyclists wore no gloves.

Hero – Dougie Lampkin wheelies IoM TT course
Trials legend Dougie Lampkin has added another accolade to his impressive trophy haul by becoming the first rider to wheelie the 37.7-mile Isle of Man TT course.
The 12-time world champion set off from the iconic grandstand in the Douglas and battled strong winds, traffic (the roads remained open during the attempt) and the sharp rises and falls of the TT circuit to lap the course in one hour 35 minutes, with the whole feat shown live on Red Bull TV.
This is the first time a live lap of the TT course has ever been broadcast, and the footage showed just how much of a challenge Lampkin faced, his etched with pain, particularly as the wind picked up on the Mountain section.
“It feels fantastic," said an emotional Lampkin as he arrived at the end of the course.

MotoGP – Marquez win moves him one step closer to third world title
Repsol Honda’s Marc Marquez has taken a stunning maiden win at MotorLand Aragon to extend his championship lead ahead, bringing his career tally to 54 wins and equaling Australian legend Mick Doohanin the all-time standings.
After a scuffle off the line through Turns 1 and 2 at a dry but cool MotorLand Aragon, it was Suzuki rider Maverick Viñales who emerged from the melee to turn his front row start into the early lead in the race. With the front group close all the way down through the top ten, Marquez soon struck to take the lead before a wobble through Turn 7 saw the championship leader drop back into the group slightly, down to P5
The lead began to stretch for Silverstone winner Viñales, before Yamaha’s Valentino Rossi hooked on to the back of the Suzuki rider and began probing...

MotoGP– Marquez dominates qualifying at Aragon
The grey of Friday at MotorLand Aragon turned powder blue on Saturday, as qualifying brought warmer temperatures and late September sun for Aragon. Q2's pre-session favourite for pole was unquestionably Marc Marquez after the Repsol Honda rider was fastest by some margin in both FP3 and FP4, and #93 turned promise into pole position in spectacular style to head the timesheets by an incredible gap of six tenths.
FP4 saw PULL&BEAR Aspar rider Yonny Hernandez into the top ten, but the Colombian sadly wasn't able to replicate the performance in Q1 as Pramac’s Danilo Petrucci, Avinita Racings’ Hector Barbera and Aprilia Racing Team Gresini duo Alvaro Bautista and Stefan Bradl joined the South American in the battle for graduation to Q2. Petrucci eventually topped the session, with Bradl...
WSBK – SMR to get Aprilia Factory backing
One of the worst kept secrets in the WSBK paddock is official – Aprilia will be providing factory backing for the Milwaukee SMR squad for the 2017 and 2018 seasons.
The team, which is having a torrid campaign with BMW machinery, has recently
signed Eugene Laverty and Lorenzo Savadori to ride for them, both of which are well though of in the Aprilia camp.
The RSV4 RF is one of the best bikes in the paddock, although it is notoriously difficult to set-up, requiring factory technicians to unlock its full potential.
The news leaves current riders Karel Abraham and Josh Brookes out of a ride, with Brookes expected to return to BSB.
Romano Albesiano, Aprilia Racing Manager, said: “Our agreement includes, in addition to providing bikes and materials, support from Aprilia Racing personnel...
MotoGP – Kentucky Kid set to fill in for Miller at Aragon
Honda’s WSBK pilot Nicky Hayden is returning to MotoGP, deputising for the injured Jack Miller on the factory Honda at the Aragon GP.
The former world champion will be riding for the Estrella Galicia 0,0 Marc VDS Racing team for the Spanish round at Motorland Aragon, filling in while Miller recovers from his hand injury.
Hayden said: ““First of all I want to wish Jack a speedy recovery. He is a buddy of mine and he is a rider I believe in a lot, so I hope he can get healthy as quickly as possible to show the high potential we all know he has got.
“This is an unusual experience for me because I’ve never been a stand-in rider before. But I have a good relationship with Honda and when the idea first came up they were behind it and Ten Kate gave me their blessing, so it is nice to go...
BSB – Bryne takes opening Showdown double at Donington
Shane 'Shakey' Byrne celebrated a double dose of victory in the opening round of the BSB Showdown at Donington Park.
The four-time champion fought intensely with his title rival Leon Haslam, who finished second in Race One but crashed out of contention while battling to settle the score in Race Two.
In the opening Showdown race Byrne claimed a storming victory to move back to the top of the standings by just two points from arch rival Haslam who finished second.
At the start of race one Title Fighter James Ellison had taken the initial advantage from his team-mate Haslam, Byrne and Christian Iddon. Byrne was instantly on the attack though and moved into second with a move at the Hairpin on the second lap.
The Be Wiser Ducati rider then waited a lap later to make a pass on Haslam...
WSBK – Davies dominates in the dry, Rea reigns in the rain
The first of the two WSBK races after the summer break at the German Lausitz EuroSpeedway circuit, a track where the factory derivative World championship has not raced since 2007, finished with Ducati’s Chaz Davies claiming the Race One win
The Welshman's domination of the race was a crushing blow to the Kawasaki duo of Tom Sykes and Johnny Rea, winning with a gap of more than ten seconds ahead of his nearest rival Sykes, posting the best lap time and snatching pole in the morning.
Davies got off the line well, followed by the trio of Sykes, Rea and Italian Lorenzo Savadori on the IodaRacing Team bike, with Davide Giugliano, Nicky Hayden, Jordi Torres and Michael Van Der Mark squabbling for honours in the second pack.
The first surprise of the race came in the seventh lap when...
Moto2 – KTM unveils bike it will race in 2017
KTM is to enter the Moto2 class in 2017 supplying the Ajo team with two bikes, which will be ridden by Brad Binder and Miguel Oliveira.
The move means the team, which is currently heading the Moto2 series with Johann Zarco, will ditch Kalex and become the Austrian’s official factory backed outfit, providing young riders with a career path all the way through the FIM CEV Moto3 championship to MotoGP.
The riders are well known to the team and the paddock – Brad Binder is a race away from becoming the 2016 Moto3 world champion, while Miguel Oliveira came within a cat’s whisker of snatching the Moto3 crown in 2015.

MotoGP – Pedrosa takes stunning victory in Misano
Repsol Honda’s Dani Pedrosa became the eighth different MotoGP winner in eight races today, taking a stunning victory at Misano, his 29th in MotoGP and the 52nd in his career, as well as the 120th for Honda since the start of the MotoGP era in 2002.
Pedrosa's choice of a soft-front and medium-rear Michelin tyre combination proved to be the best one for today’s conditions and for his riding style, as it allowed him to charge through the field at an incredibly fast pace and to set a new track record of 1’32.979 on his way to the victory.
Starting eighth on the grid, he was sixth at the end of the first lap and progressively improved his speed over the course of 22 laps, overtaking Dovizioso, Viñales, Marquez, Lorenzo and finally Rossi in a series of bullish moves before crossing the...
MotoGP – Lorenzo rides 'best ever' lap to claim Misano pole
Yamaha’s Jorge Lorenzo took a record-breaking pole position at Misano World Circuit, beating his own pole lap from 2015 and putting in the first ever 1:31 lap of the Adriatic venue.
The Spaniard had been written off by many in the paddock as he struggles to gel with the Michelin tyres, but Lorenzo the reigning champion struck back in style, putting in a new lap record in qualifying to beat his own from 2015, laying down a marker at a track that, while behind enemy lines, has proven one of the Mallorcan's best.
After just missing the 1:31 bracket in that first run, the 'Spartan' then came back out and lowered the lap time once again to put in 1:31.868 and smash the record. The pole at Misano is his 64th in the world championship – taking him one above Repsol Honda’s Marc Marquez and...
BSB – Kawasaki outfit make 1,2,3 history at Oulton Park
BSB saw history made today at Oulton Park as Leon Haslam, James Ellison and Peter Hickman climbed the rostrum in the opening race to claim the first-ever podium lockout for the Kawasaki factory team.
It was a flying start for the three JG Speedfit Kawasaki riders, with Haslam and Ellinson finishing first and second in the opening practice with Hickman only 0.6s behind in tenth. Continuing that form throughout the remaining practice sessions, the trio came into qualifying with Haslam second on combined times, Ellinson ninth and Hickman13th.
With this weekend seeing three races around the Oulton Park circuit, qualifying was held early on Saturday and all three riders were able to progress through the three sessions – the first time this season the entire JG Speedfit team made it to...
MotoGP – #58 retired in honour of Simoncelli
The MotoGP series has officially retired the use of #58, a move which honours Marco Simoncelli, who was racing under the number when he died during the Malaysian GP at Sepang in 2011.
The news was announced at Misano, officially called the ‘Misano World Circuit – Marco Simoncelli’, which is hosting this weekend’s MotoGP round.
Dorna CEO Carmelo Ezpeleta said: "Today we say to Marco's father, Paolo, that from now this number belongs to the Simoncelli family. Nobody will use it, unless they decide somebody can use this number."
Misano was the local race for the 250cc world champion, who had 14 victories (14 in 250cc, two in 125cc) and 31 podiums (two in MotoGP, 22 in 250cc, and seven in 125cc in Grand prix racing.
AGV Pista GP R – the full factory sports helmet
AGV has unveiled its latest racing helmet, a full factory version of its popular Pista design.
The lid, the Pista GP R, is an evolution of the Pista GP and boasts the same lightweight materials as the GP, but it is claimed to have a better field of view and enhanced aerodynamics and venting. There’s also a new rear spolier and visor locking system, and a Pinlock as standard – why every manufacturer doesn’t include this as standard is beyond me.
However, this helmet allows riders to feel proper factory as there’s also a built-in hydration channel, the first time we’ve seen this feature integrated into an off-the-shelf lid. This is channel is connected to a pouch stored in the rider’s leathers and brings the hydration tube to the rider’s chin, where a drinking valve is located,...
MotoGP – 11 things I've learnt from Silverstone
What. A. Weekend. Crutchlow and Lowes get pole, and Maverick Viñales dominates to claim his maiden GP win, becoming the first man to win in Moto3, Moto2 and the premier class. Here are 11 things I’ve learnt from Silverstone:
1) Wearing cargo shorts during Saturday’s qualifying was a big mistake. When it rains here, it really rains
2) A wet and cold foreskin are really uncomfortable, especially when it’s windy too. Do not stand on the infield at Copse into the wind if you’re wearing cargo shorts (see point 1)
3) Cal Crutchlow is a bone fide Alien and deserves to be treated as such
4) There’s nothing in the world like hearing the grid of MotoGP bikes fly past. THAT sound of the engines being tortured. Brutal
5) Moto3 bikes sound so much cooler than Moto2. It’s that deep, feral boom. Love...

MotoGP – Viñales claims maiden win to be top gun at Silverstone
Suzuki’s Maverick Viñales proved he could be the next ‘Alien’ with a stellar ride at Silverstone, claiming a historic first win for Suzuki since their return to MotoGP and becoming the seventh winner so far in 2016.
Viñales, who got his first podium in Le Mans in the French GP, got a front row start and simply pulled away once away in the lead – putting in an incredible performance to cross the line 3.4 seconds clear. After an almighty battle behind him, it was home hero and pole man Cal Crutchlow on the LCR Honda and Valentino Rossi on the factory Yamaha who completed the podium.
As the race started all eyes were firmly on the grey threatening clouds, and many riders on the grid were still making their final tyre decisions just minutes before the warm up lap.
As the race got...
MotoGP – Crutchlow continues to reign in the rain to take pole at Silverstone
Britain’s Cal Crutchlow has taken an incredible home pole position at the Octo British Grand Prix, as the LCR Honda pilot kept his stunning wet weather form from the Czech GP to claim his third career pole. Crutchlow became the first British rider to win in the premier class in 35 years last time out at Brno, and his performance in the tricky conditions means he’s now the first British rider to claim pole position in a home GP since 1977.
The heavy rain meant qualifying became a frantic and fascinating affair, with Eugene Laverty and Jack Miller topping Q2 to make it through to Q1 – Laverty’s performance particularly catching the eye.
Q1 saw nearly every rider make a break from the pits from the off, eager to set a time before the weather worsened.
Yamaha’s Jorge Lorenzo looked...
MotoGP – Silverstone dejà vu for Marquez during qualifying
Honda’s Marc Marquez suffered more Silverstone heartache after once again crashing in front of the Valentino Rossi stand.
The Spaniard had shown great pace and had recorded the fastest time both in the morning’s dry FP3 and in the afternoon’s wet FP4, and was improving his best qualifying effort when he crashed at Copse, causing him to miss the last five minutes of the session.
The current championship leader took a heavy impact and looked winded, standing at the side of the track to watch the rest of the session, but his lap was still good enough to place him fifth on the grid.
He said: “My feeling was very good both in the dry and wet, but we implemented a small change to the set-up for the rain that didn’t work as expected.
“I went out in Q2 and couldn't feel the rear tyre too...
MotoGP – stunning qualifying by Laverty lights up a wet Silverstone
Eugene Laverty put in a spectacular performance in the wet at Silverstone to qualify in a sensational sixth place.
The Ducati rider had made it through to Q2 by dominating Q1, piloting his GP14 to lead the session, but a small bike issue at the start of the decisive second session cost him crucial tyre temperature and, ultimately, pole.
Laverty had looked good to claim a stunning pole in the treacherous conditions, looking smooth and fast throughout, and inside the time set by pacesetter Cal Crutchlow in the first two sectors of the final lap only to lose rear grip and crash out.
However, his pace was enough to earn him sixth place on the grid.
A delighted Laverty said: “The second row is our best ever qualifying so I have to be happy in some ways but our potential was so high...
MotoGP – exciting FP1 and FP2 at Silverstone
The weather was the focus of the pre-event Press Conference at the British GP, and Friday's changeable weather did little to disappoint the hype. With mostly fine skies threatening rain, FP1 at Silverstone saw Suzuki’s Maverick Viñales take the top spot, with the Spaniard posting the fastest lap in the last few minutes of the session.
Yamaha’s Jorge Lorenzo was second in the morning, ahead of Repsol Honda’s Marc Marquez, who took a tumble at Turn 12, but was uninjured.
FP2 saw all the grid improve their lap times, and Ducati’s Andrea Iannone led for a lot of the second with Repsol Honda’s Dani Pedrosa just behind the Italian on the timesheets before the shootout began as the clock ticked down towards zero.
Viñales was the first to set an all-red sector lap to take back the top...
BSB – Haslam sets fastest ever lap of Cadwell Park to claim pole position
Kawasaki’s Leon Haslam delivered an inch perfect lap to claim pole position in qualifying ahead of tomorrow’s at Cadwell Park, smashing his own lap record in the process.
An intense qualifying session first saw Tyco BMW’s Christian Iddon crash out unhurt in Q2 at Mansfield to end his run prematurely, leaving him 13th on the grid for race one.

Tested – Continental Sport Attacks
The Continental Sport Attacks you see here are shagged – they’re just on the right side of legal, but they’re still fucked. And what am I replacing them with? Another set of Sport Attacks. Here’s why…
I got these fitted ahead of my annual pilgrimage to the TT, and on the ride over from Tamworth to Liverpool to catch the early morning boat they impressed straight from the off.
After the obligatory scrubbing in period it became clear they have impressive levels of grip, allowing you to carry some pretty big lean angles.
Their performance cannot be underestimated. During that week on the Isle of Man they dealt with the very best and worst conditions that the island could throw at us – rain, greasy damp conditions, gravel strewn roads and sticky, hot tarmac.
They’re really quick to...

Used metal – 2011 Triumph Street Triple tested
This is one of those bikes that manages to be all things to all people – it’s agile, punchy, entertaining and has character in spades. It’s British too, and it’s the best naked middleweight money can buy.
This is the ‘inbetween’ model, a final runout of the predecessor tot the current model which featured the neat, twin, underseat silencers but ditched the trademark bug headlights for some equally distinctive Dame Edna-esque units, which were cracked. I’ve ridden four of these bikes now, 2011, 2012, 2014 and 2015 (all press bikes admittedly) and they were all cracked. Not good enough.
The 675cc powerplant is the star here, its 105bhp more than powerful enough for the road, but it’s torque not power which is key here, offering a wide, silky smooth and elastic spread of drive out of...

MotoGP – M1 impresses Lowes on MotoGP debut
Pata Yamaha WSBK rider Alex Lowes got the chance to ride a MotoGP bike yesterday as reward for winning the Suzuka 8-Hours endurance race.
Lowes joined Monster Yamaha Tech3 rider and fellow Suzuka team-mate Pol Espargaró at Brno to experience the YZR-M1 during the official one-day IRTA test.
The Lincolnshire lad had to wait until the last hour of the day before he could sweep his leg over the bike, but he soon got a feel for the power of the M1 and improved his first hot lap by over a second when he set a fastest time of 1’59.558s.
Clocking the twelfth fastest time and managing a 1.146s improvement in just fifteen laps, the test unfortunately ended a prematurely when Lowes suffered a small front end crash at the end of the session.
Lowes said: “Obviously this was one of the best...

Alpha Psi Omega National Theatre Honor Society is a collegiate society which encourages academic and professional success amongst college theatre students. The Theatre Department at FIU is pleased to announce that we have established a chapter of Alpha Psi Omega, with the first group of 28 members inducted on Monday, November 24, 2014. In following the tradition of using theatre-related terminology to describe the chapter officers, current BA student, Luisa Rodriguez is the Director (President) of the FIU chapter and she is very proud to be part of the induction ceremony. This idea has been in the works for quite some time and Luisa has spent countless hours doing research on starting the chapter and brainstorming with both her fellow classmates and their faculty sponsor, Theatre Chair Phillip Church. It is very satisfying to see all her hard work come to fruition. When asked why she wanted to start this chapter, she responded, “I am a member of another fraternity on campus and I really love that idea of brotherhood/sisterhood that these societies teach us and the fact that we all have similar aspirations and interests. I thought it would be great for my peers to be part of a group where we can feel comfortable enough to share with each other and learn from one another. So far, everyone has been incredible supportive and interested, so I hope that APO will continue to grow and be a success.”
Madeleine Escarne, Alpha Psi Omega’s Business Manager and BFA Performance student, describes the chapter as, “a bridge between the theatre community and the outside community. Alpha Psi Omega aims to raise awareness about FIU’s Theatre Department, encourage our students to be part of the camaraderie that is a fraternity and to serve as an honorary big brother/big sister to surrounding schools, especially the ones that have suffered loss of funding to their arts programs. Being a part of this society is an opportunity to give back and live up to APO’s motto-Seek a Life Useful. We want to prepare high school students for college life, teach them about the culture of the theatre and most importantly, to let everyone know how great FIU’s theatre program is. It is a wonderful feeling to be part of a group with common interests and goals.”
Alpha Psi Omega has numerous fun-filled and fund-raising events planned. On December 1, they will be having a bake sale in Graham Center lobby 11AM-1PM. They are also planning a holiday party (date TBD) and will be offering holiday song-o-grams. Please continue to visit our webpage for further details.
Requirements to become a member of Alpha Psi Omega
All prospective members must:
-Be a declared Theatre major for at least 2 consecutive semesters.
-Maintain a cumulative gpa of 2.5 or higher, be in good academic standing with the university and have no pending disciplinary actions.

All this and more in the positively foudroyant Best Destiny.
#098: Imzadi (TNG event novel)
This week, Riker has had a terrible, horrible, no-good, very bad day, and by “day” I mean “four decades”. But then he suddenly remembers he lives in Star Trek and hijacks the Guardian of Forever to take a mulligan. Meanwhile, we take our own trip to the past and watch a young, cocky, clean-shaven Will Riker as he brings the full force of the old Riker charm to bear on an aloof, self-assured Betazoid named Deanna Troi. How do Betazoid restaurants work? Do you think Kirk wrote his own autobiography? And can any of us dream of aspiring to Lwaxana Troi’s level of pettiness? All this and more in Imzadi, the book that begins, naturally, at the end.
#093: Probe (TOS event novel)
On 2 August 2019
This week, it’s clear the Romulans have been to the movies lately. Suddenly they’re planning their own peace initiative, with blackjack, and hookers. While they and the Federation put together dinner and a show, the probe from The Voyage Home drives through space with a trunk full of unanswered questions. And when it makes a U-turn to get the truth, Kirk and Spock realize it’s going to take a lot more than showing it a couple of whales to satisfy its curiosity this time. Which Romulans are serious about peace and which ones aren’t? What does the probe have to look forward to when it goes home? Is this yet another flippin’ “Enterprise Incident” sequel? All this and more in Probe, the I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter! of Star Trek novels.

#090: Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country (TOS movie novelization)
In Movie and Episode Novelizations, TOS
This week, peace sells, but who’s buying? The Klingons, that’s who. Perpetual war, it turns out, is not economically sustainable, and they’re on the prowl for a better business model. But players on all sides have a vested interested in keeping things the way they are, and a road that was as smooth as CGI Klingon blood suddenly becomes very bumpy. If Kirk wants to make a history omelet, he’ll have to break a few prejudice eggs—but starting a fire in his new digs might be kind of difficult. Where did the Organians skip off to? Why is Valeris so emotional for a Vulcan? And to what extent can a novelization critique the movie it’s about? All this and more in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, the book that actually cares about things that happened in Star Trek V!
#088: Unification (TNG episode novelization)
This week, when Spock is caught gallavanting on Romulus, Picard and Data need some high-end cosplay and a Klingon Uber to drag the ambassador back to Federation space and his senses. But Spock may be on the precipice of mending the centuries-long rift between Romulans and Vulcans, and it’ll take more than some Federation finger-wagging for him to give up now. Is Riker over the trombone? What’s the boring new ensign hiding? And what kind of monster puts ketchup on their eggs? All this and more in Unification, the novelization of the two-part episode—now with 400 percent more horny subplots!
#058: Star Trek V: The Final Frontier (TOS)
Yesterday marked the celebration of Thanksgiving in America, and what better way to commemorate the occasion than to review the Star Trek film that features an unexpected family reunion? Spock’s half-brother abruptly shows up, and already he’s asking to borrow the car. It’s kind of a hoopty, but he’s on a mission from God, or so he says. Sybok’s campaign of feeling everyone’s pain is getting a lot of votes, and Kirk has to find a way to secure his incumbency before Sybok makes it to the center of the galaxy and rolls out his popular God-meeting agenda. It’s the week where I learned to stop worrying and love everyone’s least favorite Star Trek film. Will my credibility ever recover? I’d have to have some first!
#040: Encounter at Farpoint (TNG)
Ah, time to tuck in to yet another Star Trek adventure. I just love going on printed adventures with Kirk and Spock and all the rest. Just me and the NCC-1701, forever and ever. So what are they up to this week? Let’s see…
Wait a minute. “Next Generation”? Who’s this bald guy? And the one with the thing on his face? What’s up with the chalky pale guy? A Klingon in a Starfleet uniform? Bwaaaa? And since when do they let kids on the Enterprise?

The work we do in and for the local community.
Food Bank festival
Food Bank Festival. There was a great turnout from the Rotary Club of the Brickhills to help in the first Food Bank Festival. On a very windy day at Monkston playing fields, we helped run the children's fun corner. Traditional games encouraged children to line up as they 'splat the rat', and tried to find the key to 'open the door'. There were a varitey of vendors and live bands to entertain the 700 crowd.
Over £1,530 boxes of food were collected. There has been a 70% rise in need over the past two years. The Food Bank hare hoping to make this an annual event.
Brickhills - Man water station in MK Marathon
It was our privilidge once again to man a water station at the MK Marathon. However there were a few things that were different from last year, 1) the sun shone and it was really quite warm and 2) we handed out Gaitor-aid not water.
Our station was at mile 24.5, so this was the last station before the stadium and most of the runners were asking for water not Gaitor-aid. Once we said that this drink would replenish the electrolytes and ease their muscles and cramp they accepted it more readily. It was a hot day though...
Once again the courage and stamina of the runners of MK is astounding. Chinwe said she had not reaslied there were so many fit people in MK!!
Some of us felt inspired to take up running, whatch this space next year as we may assist with a corporate relay. Another great effort by TEAM Brickhills and grateful thanks go to Ian, Catherine, Wendy, Dan, Martin and Toby all friends of Rotary who helped us all day.

Building a BBQ for the Scouts
It was a chilly morning when we turned up to build a barbecue for the Leighton Buzzard Scouts. Now I have to admit that when I think of a brick built barbecue I think three foot high on a patio base (Maybe!).
Not this one, the scouts weren’t going to skimp here. It was a 16ft by 8ft patio base, laid out with small, reclaimed bricks. Trolley loads of bricks that had to be brought over from a large pile near to the scout hut.
This job we gave to Martin and Toby and a grand job they did too. Graham, Phil Goddard (the man from the scouts), and I got stuck into filling in the marked out area with hardcore and then flattening it down with a powered plate, (you can see in the photos how Graham makes this look so easy. Not once it got wet!). Once this was to a set level, we could then spread in the small hardcore and lay the bricks on top.
We did this one course at a time, bashing down the bricks to get them level. (We didn’t break many!) I think you can say from the photos, it looks pretty smart. That’s what six and half hours will do for you! Now I hear you say, where is the barbecue? Well that’s stage two, (next year). See all the pictures here.
Winslow Show 2012
The morning was bleak and the wet drizzle soaked us all, but the enthusiasm was infectious at the August Winslow Show this year. Elizabeth and Andy helped set up the fences on the grounds the day before collapsing in a heap (a lot of ground to cover).
Jan and Lesley directed a constant stream of traffic to the far field. Young horse riders were in the ring early, followed by the dog show. Sheep bleated in their pens next to ancient tractors. Punch was thumping Judy, alongside a very good variety of crafts, food and charity stalls.
The classic car show is always a hit and well attended. All monies raised go directly to local charities. What I like the best is the participation of all to have a good time. See al the pictures here
Lesley Willis
Tree Planting for the Diamond Jubilee
Sarah our Community chairman, was able to get us 420 sa ppling trees that we would plant with the help of the Parks Trust in Linford Wood area of Milton Keynes. tas part of the Queens Diamond Jubilee celebration.
Together with the help of club members, their friends and family, help was afforded by the pupils of Ousedale School in Newport Pagnell, the Rotary Club of Bletchley and the staff of Evidence Talks Ltd. With all these hands and spades to do the digging, the trees were planted in about 30 minutes.
The Mayor of Milton Keynes came down to watch us toil away in the wind and the rain and was presented with a plaque to commemorate the occasion. The plaque will be mounted on a nearby post to mark the planting.
Well done Sarah, this was a great event, and thanks go to all the helpers and club members who took part. See all the images here

Article V Convention
Posted by Morton IX on September 30, 2014 at 8:57am in Article V, Convention of States info
I had this link sent to my promotions file. Click Here to see what I'm talking about and tell us what you think of these Article V proposals.

Richard, I hear you.
The Cotton War and Reconstruction that followed certainly set the stage for the bankster control that has brought us to where we are. Those who have worked against that bankster control have either been marginalized or taken out. We are in a real spiritual battle as the pecking order has been turned upside down. What puzzles me is how so many refuse to see/discuss the spiritual side of this battle as it is the most critical element in seeing the big picture.
Unalienable rights and common law require our Creator being at the top of the pecking order, then:
the people,
constitution,
government bureaucracies & etc.,
in that order.
The 14th (actually the 15th if it had been ratified) and the Act of 1871 were instrumental in upsetting that pecking order.
If you have not studied the Dyett v Turner case of the Utah Supreme Court and the 1957 Georgia Memorial Petition, that would be good information for you. You might also enjoy Bruce Ray Riggs site at http://dirtyunclesam.com/.
Bruce may not be exactly right on everything, but he has really dug into the post Cotton War era and reveals some important facts. If you would like a PDF of Dyett v Turner, email me at Terry@ASOI.us.

There is a fascinating (and frightening) book called "Our Secret Constitution" that was written by George T. Fletcher that provides an interesting discussion on how the politicians and courts have transformed our original constitution and its concepts of individual freedom and responsibility into the welfare-warfare state we have today.
It is no stretch, given these changes identified by the author as to why common-law grand juries are little more than nonsense these days - why "case history" rules the courts (propagating WRONG decisions forward) and so on.
It seems clear that there are many here who DO understand how things WERE supposed to work but what we must contend is HOW THEY ARE WORKING TODAY - and that is a NO WIN condition.
The only way out of this mess is when (not if) the fiat currency collapses and the power of THE STATE is gone. Until such time, we have become the United Soviet States of America.

Good post, Sir,
That "Secret Constitution" is also referred to the Law of 1871. The Law of 1871 was the beginning of our fall. It was exacerbated by Wilson, when, during his Administration, he installed the FED, ushered the 17th Amendment, and generally sent our Country into this spiral.

It is long past due for our government to be put back into their original places. They continue to allocate more powers to themselves through their own voting methods which blatantly defies our U.S. Constitution. In the process, they are and have been reversing their authority with the states, again contrary to our Constitution and in this process, have been doing all they can to suppress We, The People in every facet of our lives. The only description I have for our present form of government is that of Socialism.
I am almost dead certain that Obama's ultimate goal is to turn our country into One political party state with him ruling over all of us as a dictator. I remember what Valerie Jarrett once stated which is that during Obama's second term, they won't have to worry about any Congress.
This threw up red flags all over the place for me and caused a great concern in my mind. Article V must NOT be allowed to fall victim to this administration, it MUST be accomplished at all cost!! Article V must commence Immediately if not sooner!!
And, one comment was made that there was a petition for Permission to go forward with Article V being sent to Congress for their approval??? What?? Why would this have to happen as this would be like trying to have a hungry Fox guard over a pen of Chickens.
NO one needs Congressional approval to enact Article V, per our Declaration of Independence, 1st Page, 2nd Paragraph!! And I Quote:
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. — Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world."

I gotta hand it to you Morton, you really know how to kick start a conversation/debate. My head is ready to explode. I am reviewing both sides of the argument before making any comments. I will however state the obvious, divide and conquer is working out marvelously for the PTB. We just can't get our shit together.
This from another site but is is applicable here IMO
Please read my post then answer the questions about being inside the four corners - I could care less about what the Courts use to evaluate challenges to the usurped Constitution - for they have no such power except as usurped by the Marbury V Madison and McCulloch V Maryland.
The Court has no power to invent Judicial Review nor Implied Powers. The Court even used dicta [Hamilton's paper on manufacturing] to adopt the NECESSARY AND PROPER clause expansion beyond the limits of Article I section 8.
Neither the Courts nor the Congress are granted the power to determine how and when they choose to alter the meaning of words and clauses. There is nothing inside the four corners that renders any power to find new meanings outside the direct meaning of the common words used to state the limits.
As for your strawman about personal attacks by people who support the Constitutional use of what the Founders referred to as the PROPER METHOD OF CORRECTION.
If the Article V, 28th amendment concerns you, then how do you explain the current situation where we have zero Constitutional limits on Government being acceptable? No one attacks you personally by simply pointing out the false claims you post.
Do you really believe that the Anti federalist Bill of Rights (aka papers of the time) do not and did not affect the Constitution? What about you words here;
"I would say our forefathers did an admirable job in the formation of this country. It took over 200 years to subvert Article I, Section 8 and the Supreme Court." [Clearly I defeated that false claim in my post] -
Share with all of us how your anti Article V position leaves any room to bring the required Restoration of States rights and powers?

Thanks Christine,
As a writer that is always what you should strive for. Your arguments however, have to have education and validity behind them. The article was posted due to the very nature of the sensitivity to this subject. It affects all of us in one way or another if this country fails.
When George Washington was fighting the British, Daniel Boone was fighting the Indians for hunting territory. When trouble is here on our land, we all must pay to restore the Republic on the ashes of it's aftermath; each individual with their own motivations for doing so.

Let me share a few quotes to provide us some hints of how the Founders viewed some of the issues we face today.
"I own myself the friend to a very free system of commerce, and hold it as a truth, that commercial shackles are generally unjust, oppressive and impolitic -- it is also a truth, that if industry and labour are left to take their own course, they will generally be directed to those objects which are the most productive, and this in a more certain and direct manner than the wisdom of the most enlightened legislature could point out."
-- James Madison
(1751-1836), Father of the Constitution for the USA, 4th US President
Source: speech to the Congress, April 9, 1789
"The ordaining of laws in favor of one part of the nation, to the prejudice and oppression of another, is certainly the most erroneous and mistaken policy. ... These measures never fail to create great and violent jealousies and animosities between the people favored and the people oppressed..."
-- Benjamin Franklin
(1706-1790) US Founding Father

We cannot be too careful to exclude its influence."

In NYC...
En New York amigos de Brad Will realizan una hulga de hambre en los proximos dias hasta ser atendidos por la senadora Hillary Clinton.
Luego de reiteradas solicitudes de encuentro para presentarles el caso de nuestro amigo Brad Will, la impunidad en Mexico y nuestra oposicion al Plan Mexico se tomo la decision de esperarla frente a su oficina y denunciar publicamente esta realidad.
Friends of Brad Will declare dry hunger strike at Sen. Clinton's office
Posted by Kristin Bricker - October 23, 2008 at 4:12 pm
Friends of Brad Will, an organization founded by friends and family of murdered Indymedia journalist Brad Will, has declared a four-day dry hunger strike and vigil in front of Sen. Hillary Clinton's Manhattan office to demand that she take action on Will's case. During the hunger strike, the protesters will not drink or eat.
Will was murdered in Oaxaca, Mexico, on October 27, 2006, while covering the popular uprising there. Despite all evidence to the contrary, the Mexican government has blamed members and supporters of the Popular Assembly of the Peoples of Oaxaca for the murder. It has already arrested three people in the case, and says it has arrest warrants for eight more. All are APPO members or supporters.
Witnesses, journalists, ballistic evidence, the autopsy results, video evidence, and photographs all point to Juan Carlo Soriano, municipal police officer; Manuel Aguilar, council personnel chief; Able Santiago Zarate; and Pedro Carmona, mayor of Felipe Carrillo Puerto de Santa Lucia del Camino as the most likely culprits.
The Mexican government's own National Human Rights Commission (CNDH in its Spanish initials) has strongly condemned the government's investigation of the case, saying that Will died of two long-range shots, not two short-range shots fired by APPO members standing around Will, as the attorney general claims. According to the CNDH, "We are concerned because the person the Attorney General's office detained as the person allegedly responsible for the homicide of US journalist Brad Will could be charged without evidence, and he runs the risk of being convicted."
On October 16 the Mexican government arrested APPO activist Juan Manuel Martínez Moreno as the intellectual author of the crime and Octavio Perez Perez as a co-conspirator. A day later it arrested Hugo Colmenares Leyva as another co-conspirator. The government claims that Martínez Moreno pulled the trigger as he stood to the side of Will, even though the first shot Will received came from straight-on.
This is not the first time Martínez Moreno has faced problems for his activism: in 2007 he was kidnapped along with two other APPO members while performing election observation in Santa Lucía del Camino, where Will was murdered in October 2006. The kidnappers beat the three APPOistas severely in the face and abdomen under a bridge and then dumped them in a community 38 kilometers from Oaxaca City.
Friends of Brad Will has decided to target Sen. Clinton because she supports the military aid package to Mexico called the Merida Initiative, also known as Plan Mexico. Plan Mexico will provide training, resources, and armament to the Mexican government, military, and police forces to continue its highly controversial war on organized crime, which has already resulted in skyrocketing drug-related homicide rates and human rights abuses. Robert Jereski, a member of Friends of Brad Will who is on his third day of hunger strike, told Narco News, "Clinton's supporting a security package that's arming the security forces who killed a US journalist who worked in New York City."
The hunger strikers delivered a list of six demands to Sen. Clinton's office yesterday morning. They include:
* That Hillary Clinton issue a public statement demanding protection for witnesses to Will's murder, the arrest of the government agents filmed shooting at him, and a public statement opposing the Merida Initiative. Witnesses in the Will case claim they and their families have suffered harrassment, including being followed and having their homes watched.
* That the Mexican government arrest the real killers in the Will case.
* That the the charges against Juan Manuel Martinez Moreno and Octavio Perez Perez be dropped. FoBW calls these charges "an absurd attempt to divert attention from the real killers."
* The end of the "corrupt brutal rule by Ulises Ruiz" Ortiz, the current governor of Oaxaca whose destitution was the central demand of the 2006 uprising.
* An end to the North America Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), the Central American Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA), and Plan Puebla Panama, now known as the Mesoamerica Project.
* No to the Plan Mexico military aid package, officially known as the Merida Initiative.
Thus far Clinton has not met with the hunger strikers, even though she was reportedly in her Manhattan office yesterday. She has also not responded to the demands, which were delivered directly to her staff and are also being faxed to her office by protesters all over the United States.
Friends of Brad Will is undettered. They are encouraging supporters to continue calling Sen. Clinton's office at (212) 688-6262 to support the hunger strikers' demands. According to Jereski, "It is our duty to stand up for human rights in solidarity with the victims of those security forces, and not with the perpetrators of human rights violations....US tax money will be used to send lethal aid to Mexico to wholely unaccounatable police and military forces there. We have a resonsibility to take action." Jereski says that U.S. weaponry and training have been used by Mexican officials to violently repress dissent and leftist and indigenous movements, "the very actions that journalist Brad Will was exposing."
Calls on Thursday to Sen. Clinton's press office for a comment on the hunger strike went unanswered.

In computational biology, it is common to represent domain knowledge using graphs. Frequently there exist multiple graphs for the same set of nodes, representing information from different sources, and no single graph is sufficient to predict class labels of unlabelled nodes reliably. One way to enhance reliability is to integrate multiple graphs, since individual graphs are partly independent and partly complementary to each other for prediction. In this chapter, we describe an algorithm to assign weights to multiple graphs within graph-based semi-supervised learning. Both predicting class labels and searching for weights for combining multiple graphs are formulated into one convex optimization problem. The graph-combining method is applied to functional class prediction of yeast proteins.When compared with individual graphs, the combined graph with optimized weights performs significantly better than any single graph.When compared with the semidefinite programming-based support vector machine (SDP/SVM), it shows comparable accuracy in a remarkably short time. Compared with a combined graph with equal-valued weights, our method could select important graphs without loss of accuracy, which implies the desirable property of integration with selectivity.

Many real-world machine learning problems are situated on finite discrete sets, including dimensionality reduction, clustering, and transductive inference. A variety of approaches for learning from finite sets has been proposed from different motivations and for different problems. In most of those approaches, a finite set is modeled as a graph, in which the edges encode pairwise relationships among the objects in the set. Consequently many concepts and methods from graph theory are adopted. In particular, the graph Laplacian is widely used. In this chapter we present a systemic framework for learning from a finite set represented as a graph. We develop discrete analogues of a number of differential operators, and then construct a discrete analogue of classical regularization theory based on those discrete differential operators. The graph Laplacian based approaches are special cases of this general discrete regularization framework. An important thing implied in this framework is that we have a wide choices of regularization on graph in addition to the widely-used graph Laplacian based one.

Our goal for the competition (feature selection competition NIPS 2003) was to evaluate the usefulness of simple machine learning techniques. We decided to use the correlation criteria as a feature selection method and Support Vector Machines for the classification part. Here we explain how we chose the regularization parameter C of the SVM, how we determined the kernel parameter and how we estimated the number of features used for each data set. All analyzes were carried out on the training sets of the competition data. We choose the data set Arcene as an example to explain the approach step by step. In our view the point of this competition was the construction of a well performing classifier rather than the systematic analysis of a specific approach. This is why our search for the best classifier was only guided by the described methods and that we deviated from the road map at several occasions. All calculations were done with the software Spider [2004].

Embedded methods are a relatively new approach to feature selection. Unlike filter methods, which do not incorporate learning, and wrapper approaches, which can be used with arbitrary classifiers, in embedded methods the features selection part can not be separated from the learning part. Existing embedded methods are reviewed based on a unifying mathematical framework.

New Melrose Festival to Celebrate Heat, Give Back
July 1, 2011 by Christina O'Haver
What’s hotter than July in Phoenix?
A chili and salsa festival during July in Phoenix!
The inaugural Hotter Than July Chili Cook-Off and Salsa Fest is coming to the Melrose District in Downtown Phoenix, Sunday, July 10.
Copper Star Coffee, Wag N’ Wash Healthy Pet Center, ONE Community and Lucky 15 Creative invite Valley residents to sample and judge a variety of locally-made chili and salsas, with all proceeds benefiting the Gabriel’s Angels pet therapy program.
About five years ago in the Melrose District, both Copper Star Coffee and Wag N’ Wash were born.
Ever since, they have shared an intersection, many of the same customers and the idea to eventually host a block party, says Bill Sandweg, owner of Copper Star Coffee and HTJ committee member.
Around two months ago, the companies finally decided to put the block party idea into action.
However, instead of planning the festival for a time of year when Phoenix is experiencing only double-digit temperatures, they decided to “embrace the heat” and schedule it during the summer when fewer events would be happening, Sandweg says.
“We want to show that there is a downtown vibrance and, frankly, fun things to do in CenPho even when the temperature goes up,” says Meghan Olesen, Melrose District liaison and HTJ committee member.
The event committee will be donating all proceeds to the Arizona-based Gabriel’s Angels organization, which aims to deliver healing pet therapy to abused, neglected and at-risk children in hopes of instilling in them a sense of well-being, safety and happiness, according to its website. The long term goal of Gabriel’s Angels is to help children learn core social skills that will prevent them from continuing the cycle of violence as adults.
Steve Strauss, co-owner of the Wag N’ Wash Healthy Pet Center and HTJ committee member, says he wanted the festival to have a pet component and that Gabriel’s Angels is an organization the committee is passionate about. It also fits with the event’s family-friendly theme, he adds.
Gabriel’s Angels currently provides free pet therapy services to over 100 agencies and serves 13,000 children annually through nearly 150 pet therapy teams, the website states.
The teams, which usually consist of a volunteer and his or her companion dog, visit the children on a regular schedule to build trust, empathy and respect. The cost to support one team is $2,500 per year.
Hotter Than July is still seeking local residents, companies, restaurants and other organizations to form teams of five people or less to participate in this year’s event. The registration fee is $100 per team, per entry.
To celebrate Downtown Phoenix’s diversity, the committee encourages a wide range of flavors and ingredients. Event patrons will cast their votes, and prize ribbons, hand-crafted by local artists, will be awarded in five categories for both chili and salsa.
“Embrace the Heat”
Lather up your sunscreen, slip on your sandals and bring your appetite for a day of food, music and summer fun, downtown Phoenix style.
“What better way to embrace the heat than a salsa and chili fest?” Sandweg says. “If it’s going to be hot, let’s make it real hot.”
IF YOU GO:
11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
On Heatherbrae Drive, between 7th and 9th avenues
Free. $5 to sample food and receive voting ballot.

Disentangling RF amplifier specs: amplifier spot noise vs. noise figure
In the world of high-speed amplifiers, noise is commonly represented one of two ways. For radio frequency (RF)-oriented amplifiers, such as low-noise amplifiers (LNAs), radio frequency power amplifiers (PAs) and RF gain blocks, noise is usually given as a noise figure value. For high-speed operational amplifiers (op amps) and fully differential amplifiers (FDAs), noise is typically represented as voltage spot noise, which is sometimes also accompanied by current spot noise.
Both noise figure and spot noise are useful for their own reasons, but can be confusing if you are not familiar with one or the other. In order to reduce the mystery between the two specs, let’s take a look at how they are defined and related to one another.
Spot noise is the more straightforward of the two specs: It is simply a way to represent the noise of the amplifier as a source at one of the summing inputs. It is defined as the amplifier noise integrated over a one hertz bandwidth. The units are typically nanovolts per root hertz for voltage noise and amps per root hertz for current noise.
Voltage spot noise is represented by a voltage source that can be applied at either input of the amplifier, while current spot noise is represented by either one current source applied to each input or by specific sources for the inverting and noninverting inputs, respectively. Most amplifiers typically have only a voltage-noise value or one voltage- and one current-noise value. This is because the difference in current noises at the inputs of the amplifier is usually minimal; and in general, current noise is insignificant compared to voltage noise. Current noise only becomes a dominating factor in current feedback-style amplifiers, or when the feedback resistor (RF) becomes very large. Figure 1 shows an op-amp circuit with equivalent amplifier voltage and noise sources.
Figure 1: Op amp showing equivalent input-voltage and noise sources
Since spot noise is an absolute measurement, you can use it to easily compare the noise contributions of different amplifiers independent of their configuration. However, not all amplifier data sheets include spot noise measurements. Sometimes noise measurements are represented only as a noise figure. Noise figure can be a very useful specification, but you must first understand how it is defined in order to use it properly.
The key aspect to understand about noise figure is that it is a measurement made relative to the source impedance of the system’s input signal. This is true for noise-figure measurements of any device, not just amplifiers. The noise figure is defined as the ratio of the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) at the output of a device to the SNR at the input, expressed in decibels (Equation 1):
Thinking about this equation from a conceptual standpoint, it becomes easy to see how the noise figure becomes dependent on the source impedance of the system. Expressing the SNR in simple terms of signal, noise and gain, Equation 2 shows that increasing the source noise (most easily done by increasing source impedance) reduces the noise figure:
This conclusion is backed up by data when computing the noise figure for a specific amplifier. Figure 2 shows the noise-figure values for the LMH5401 FDA with four different source resistances. In Figure 2, it is very easy to see that noise figure is indeed reducing as source impedance is increasing, even though the amplifier voltage and current spot noises have not changed.
Figure 2: LMH5401 example of noise figure dependency on source impedance
From this analysis, it’s clear to see that noise figure is much more confusing than spot noise measurements. So why would anyone use it in the first place? Employed correctly, noise figure can be a very useful tool in determining total system noise quickly. If a system comprises multiple blocks of identically matched source and load impedances, you can use the respective noise figures of each block to easily calculate the total noise figure of the system using the Friis formula for noise. Equation 3 shows the Friis formula in terms of noise figure (NF) and gain (G) of blocks 1 though n of a system.
For amplifiers, both spot noise and noise figure are useful specifications if you need to understand the noise contribution to a system. However, it is important to keep in mind the differences between the two specs. In general, spot noise is the easiest to use when comparing noise performance because it is an absolute measurement. You can also use noise figure to compare noise performance, but remember that it is relative to the source impedance of the measurement. If the source impedances are the same, you can use noise figure to compare the noise performance of different amplifiers, while additionally providing an easy way to estimate the noise impact of a block in a system.

Nature helps farmers cope with climate change
Central America has more than 2.3 million families depending on agriculture and natural resources for their livelihoods, making them vulnerable to climate change risks such as rising temperatures, extreme events such as drought and flooding, and also crop diseases. Researchers associated with the Swedish-based Environment for Development (EfD) initiative are running an ecosystems-based adaptation project in Guatemala, Honduras, and Costa Rica that supports smallholder farming communities in adapting to changing conditions. This project scales up the needs and opportunities of smallholders to promote changes in public policies at a regional level.
EfD-CA facilitates adaptation to climate change of Central American producers.
Researchers from EfD-CA and Conservation International publish a series of training guides on climate change and ecosystem-based adaptation for agriculture.

Making urban food environments fit for children
All children have the right to adequate nutrition and good health to reach their full potential within their cities and communities. Urban food environments need to provide children, their families and communities with permanent access to nutritious food that is healthy, affordable and sustainably produced.
Together, EAT and UNICEF are seeking to improve urban food environments for healthy and sustainable diets among children and adolescents, to the benefit of entire communities. The content in this brochure highlights the vital elements of a child rights approach3 to creating healthy food environments that are so important to securing healthy diets for all, now and in the future.

The Double Burden of Malnutrition Symposium Proceedings
Symposium proceedings from the recent IAEA-UNICEF-WHO Symposium on the Double Burden of Malnutrition (DBM) have now been published. The symposium took place in Vienna, Austria from December 10-13th and aimed to strengthen understanding of how to tackle the DBM by sharing recent research findings as well as experiences with the implementation of relevant interventions, programmes and policies.
Particular focus was given to the role of stable isotopes in addressing gaps both in the measurement of malnutrition and in assessing the impact of interventions. The symposium also promoted double-duty actions, new assessment tools, considerations for policies and action plans to support Member States in achieving their defined nutrition commitments within the Nutrition Decade.
You can access all conference materials – including pictures and presentations at the IAEA’s Human Health Campus. This includes poster presentations and media features.

The Double Burden of Malnutrition: Lancet Series
The Lancet series on the Double Burden of Malnutrition is now available. The double burden of malnutrition is the coexistence of overnutrition (overweight and obesity) alongside undernutrition (stunting and wasting), at all levels of the population—country, city, community, household, and individual.
This four paper Series explores how this coexistence is affecting low-income and middle-income countries. Malnutrition in its many forms has previously been understood and approached as a separate public health issue, but the new emergent reality is that undernutrition and overnutrition are interconnected and, therefore, double-duty actions that simultaneously address more than one dimension must be implemented for policy solutions to be effective. In addition to policy recommendations, the Series includes a focus on both historical and biological contexts, and new economic analysis.
UNSCN was pleased to join 18 other experts from leading organisations in the call for new stakeholders to join the nutrition manifesto. Recognizing that in the Nutrition Decade a new global nutrition movement is emerging that needs to take the lead in demanding food systems change.

Accelerated Reduction Effort on Anaemia Webinar
26 November 2019 from 15:00 to 16:00 CEST ( 09:00-10:00 EDT)
On Tuesday November 26th the Accelerated Reduction Effort on Anaemia (AREA) Community of Practice (CoP) is hosting the webinar: Simultaneous implementation of interventions to prevent anaemia. Are there any risks?
The webinar will explore this topic through a discussion with Professor Stanley Zlotkin and Dr Reina Engle-Stone.
More information can be found at the WHO Nutrition website here
Registration can be found here
Simultaneous implementation of interventions to prevent anaemia. Are there any risks?
Nutritional anaemias co-occur in various population groups. Thus, it is desirable to implement a combination of essential nutrition actions to address this public health problem, but it may lead to potentially excessive intakes of one or more micronutrients. This is especially relevant in settings where multiple stakeholders work to deliver public health interventions such as fortification of staple foods, biofortification and iron supplementation.
The excessive consumption of iron could have harmful consequences on the health and development of individuals and populations. They range from mild gastrointestinal side effects to increased risk of preterm delivery.
As interventions to reduce anaemia scale-up, several questions arise: Are the safety concerns justified? Is it possible to estimate the risks of delivering multiple interventions? If so, how?
Join the webinar to discuss this topic by registering here. You can also register to become a member of the AREA CoP, by clicking on the following link:
Join AREA CoP
The Community of Practice (CoP) aims to support members of the global community dedicated to improving and scaling up existing methods and strategies for anaemia reduction in a holistic and cohesive manner; to build consensus for engagement in AREA at the global, regional and national level and commit to the achievement of the Global Nutrition Targets 2025 endorsed by the 65th World Health Assembly.

IFPRI Seminar – Food System Transformations: National Actions in a Globalized World
12:15 pm to 1:45 pm (EDT)
IFPRI, Washington, D.C.
Food systems in developing countries are undergoing a rapid transformation shaped by global and regional events. But country actions will be critical in shaping future food system outcomes.
Some countries are taking a systemic approach to assessing and acting on food system transformation—considering consumption and food environments, food supply and sustainability, health, and socioeconomic outcomes.
This seminar will introduce this approach, and representatives from Nigeria and Viet Nam will discuss the challenges, opportunities, and trade-offs they encounter in enabling food system actors in their countries. A panel will share insights into how food systems can develop in a healthy, sustainable, and equitable way.
Live webcast and post-event viewing available here.

Call for Contributions: UNSCN Nutrition 45 – Nutrition in a Digital World
Open until 30 January 2020
UNSCN Nutrition is the peer-reviewed journal published by the UNSCN. The 45th edition, published in 2020 will focus on the theme ‘Nutrition in a Digital World’.
The Internet and other digital technologies have dramatically changed the world as we knew it just ten years ago. Information and data are being produced, shared, and consumed at prodigious rates, and people are connected in previously unthinkable ways. Digital economies are rapidly replacing traditional modes of production and exchange. Nutrition is no exception, with the proliferation of “food techs”, “agri techs”, “edu techs”, “fin techs” and even “gov techs” covering a broad spectrum of agriculture-, food systems- and nutrition-related activities. The potential benefits may be vast, and so may be the dangers. We are only now starting to grasp the scale of change this new digital world is bringing.
The benefit-risk duality can be exemplified with digital influence in food consumption. On one hand, educational games and web- or media-based digital nutrition education tools have shown potential to improve nutrition literacy and encourage healthier eating practices. On the other, digital marketing is shaping a digital food environment that promotes overconsumption of foods high in salt, sugar, unhealthy fats and additives, which is very challenging to address.
The reach and impacts of the digital world in nutrition, however, go far beyond demand side and food consumption issues. Digital processes and technologies are reshaping almost every industry and human activity, and the implications of such changes for health and nutrition are not yet sufficiently investigated, let alone understood. Increasing digital competence, overcoming the digital divide generated by inequalities, as well as the impacts of automation on the job market, have become major development challenges. The digital world potentially affects not only underlying and immediate causes of malnutrition in all its forms, but also its root causes, and our ability to address them.
The UNSCN Nutrition 45 aims at better documenting and sharing experiences, enhancing knowledge and promoting the debate on potential positive and adverse impacts of innovative digital technologies in people’s nutrition. It is also expected that it will contribute to the ongoing debate on establishing an international Digital Council for Food and Agriculture that will advise governments and other relevant actors, drive the exchange of ideas and experiences, foster innovation and help harness the opportunities presented by digitalization.
There is an intrinsic complexity in the digital world given its fluidity and speed of change that makes it difficult to grasp in its full extension and potential. This Call for Contributions welcomes conceptual thinking and academically rigorous examples of how the digital world is affecting people’s nutrition along, but not limited to, the following perspectives:
What are examples of use of digital technologies that are changing nutrition action and food systems for more sustainability and improved nutrition?
What are some specific examples on how digital technologies are changing food environments for the good or for the bad? How can the potential of digital technologies be leveraged to improve food environments?
What has been the impact of digital technologies on food literacy and consumption practices? What examples are there of digital literacy and training on food and nutrition issues?
How do digital technologies influence the quality and accuracy of available nutrition information? How can we best communicate nutrition in the post-truth age where there is an overload of information from multiple and varied sources?
How is digital technology changing our relationship with food and affecting food cultures and traditions around the world?
How are digital technologies affecting food production, biodiversity, food transformation and food distribution?
How does digital technologies impact inequalities? Are they deepening the divide? Or, are they expanding access to information, goods and services?
What is the potential of digital technologies in addressing the root causes of malnutrition in all its forms?
Are digital technologies facilitating the design and implementation of nutrition-related activities within new development paradigms, such as shared and participatory economies?
Are digital technologies influencing financial investments in nutrition? What are the modalities?
What does innovation in nutrition look like, especially in low- and middle-income countries?

WEEK IN GEEK (kind of): It turned out to be an accidental Week in Geek episode as D. Bethel talks about his disappointment with Valve Corporation’s sidelining of Campo Santo’s Firewatch followup, In the Valley of Gods. On the opposite side of breaking news, Andrew finally gets around to watching Star Trek: Discovery and kind of unabashedly loves it.

ANDREW IS OLDER: We start by celebrating Andrew’s birthday a little bit. So, what did he do? He watched Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan again and also went to see Weird Al Yankovic in concert during his “Strings Attached” tour where Yankovic and his band toured with a 41-piece orchestra.
FARTHER FROM HOME: The news this week was kind of bad for Marvel Cinematic Universe fans as Sony and Disney apparently stepped away from the deal that brought them together in the first place. What this means (as it currently stands) is that future Spider-Man films can’t interact with the MCU or Avengers-based films. Andrew and D. Bethel talk about what’s going on here and what are the ups and downs of this news story.

CAN YOU SDCC ME NOW?: Though San Diego Comic Con is ostensibly about comic books, the biggest announcements that seem to come out of the show revolve around cinematic and televised properties. Andrew and D. Bethel focus on the announcements that not only ignited their excitement but also triggered their critical processes, from the Cats trailer to the next big DC/CW “Arrowverse” crossover event to the new Star Trek show to Marvel’s Phase 4 lineup.
Here’s the Star Trek: The Next Generation/X-Men crossover that Dan was thinking of, Planet X by Michael Jan Friedman:

NOTRE-DAME THE TORPEDOES: We open this week talking about the tragic fire at the Notre-Dame cathedral in Paris, focusing on how its rebuilding efforts may be aided by the diligent work of Ubisoft (and the work they put into making Assassin’s Creed: Unity.
For context of the jokes Andrew and D. Bethel make at the end of this segment:
THIS SHOULDN’T WORK: Andrew and D. Bethel talk about a tv show they’ve been mildly reticent to discuss because they can’t believe it’s actually good: Seth MacFarlane’s The Orville––an unabashed Star Trek and Star Trek: The Next Generation pastiche that is actually becoming some of the best Star Trek available.
HELL, BOY YOU BETTER STOP: D. Bethel gives a quick look at the newest Hellboy cinematic entry; spoiler: it needs some work.RELEVANT EPISODES:

15 February 2019 – The Actual Clips Episode
http://traffic.libsyn.com/forall/podcasta20190215.mp3
THE CLIPS EPISODE: Due to a distortion of the space-time continuum, Andrew ended up on his own to record an episode. Instead of 50 minutes of dead air, he decided to throw together a clips episode featuring past segments on Star Trek!
Episode 25 – Unnecessary Tassels: Where Andrew and D. Bethel talk about “I, Mudd” from the second season of the Original Series.
Episode 26 – The Effect of Randomosity: Excited about the Original Series, D. Bethel and Andrew discuss the classic “alternate reality” episode “Mirror, Mirror.”

WEEK IN GEEK: This week, Andrew takes dives into season three of Netflix’s The Travelers and ponders how it continually plays with time travel in interesting ways while D. Bethel gets educated and affected by the Netflix documentary, Struggle: The Life and Lost Art of Szukalski––a documentary about artist Stanisław Szukalski and his time trying to create a national artistic identity for Poland, his brush with nationalism, his loss of everything due to Nazi occupation, and his rediscovery by a bunch of scraggly Los Angeles underground comix makers.
Here’s the trailer for Travelers, season 3:

WEEK IN GEEK: D. Bethel gets inspired by Tintin and Alph-Art, the final Tintin book started by creator Hergé before his death. The book is a collection of his layouts and notes and remains unfinished but showcases the process of one of the world’s best comic book storytellers. After nearly a year, Andrew finally dives into Star Trek: Discovery (originally released on CBS All Access) and gives you a SPOILER-FILLED rundown and response to the newest Star Trek series.
Examples of the Tintin meets H.P. Lovecraft fan art by Muzski.

FALL (TV IS) BACK: With the summer doldrums of tv coming to a close, Andrew and D. Bethel discuss the Fall tv they’re looking forward to, including the debut of a new Doctor (and production team) with series 11 of Doctor Who, Andrew’s circumspect approach to the reboot Magnum and quizzical anticipation for Alton Brown’s Good Eats Reloaded, D. Bethel’s blind eagerness for the new season of The Gifted and Outlander, and both hosts’ skepticism of the new Riggs-less third season Lethal Weapon. It’s nerdy Fall tv front to back.

NEW ORLEANS -- As Anthony Davis trotted off the court and toward the locker room, fans gathered near the tunnel offered one more round of applause, some of them shouting their congratulations to Davis for receiving his first All-Star game nod. The 20-year-old Pelicans big man glanced up and smiled widely at the well-wishers -- a fitting end to a day he wont soon forget. Davis responded to his selection earlier in the day as a Western Conference All-Star with 26 points and 10 rebounds, and the New Orleans Pelicans overcame a 10-point fourth-quarter deficit to defeat the Minnesota Timberwolves 98-91 on Friday night. "Its great, man" Davis said. "Weve got to keep pushing. You cant get too happy -- but at the same time, youve got to enjoy it." Davis, who leads the NBA with an average of more than 3 blocks per game, is also making 20-point, 10-rebound outings look routine lately. Meanwhile, the Pelicans have won six of eight games despite being without two key players -- forward Ryan Anderson (herniated disk) and point guard Jure Holiday (fractured shin). "Were fighting," Davis said. "Were grinding each and every night and coming up with big-time wins." Davis narrowly missed being picked by coaches as a Western Conference All-Star reserve, but when Kobe Bryant was unable to play in the game because of his injured left knee, new NBA commissioner Adam Silver chose Davis as Bryants replacement. Then Davis turned in his 17th 20-point, 10-rebound game of the season before a national TV audience, replete with highlight-worthy alley-oop and putback dunks. In the pivotal fourth quarter, he grabbed seven rebounds and had his only blocked shot. "Its a great way to cap a day off, to be selected (as an All-star) early in the afternoon and then to play like that on national TV in front of the world," Pelicans coach Monty Williams said. "Its pretty cool. Its a lot for a 20 year old who is just scratching the surface on what he can do." Eric Gordon scored 16 of his 20 points in the second half on an array of jumpers and explosive drives to help fuel New Orleans comeback. "I got up more shots in the second half," Gordon said. "Im always going to shoot a decent field goal percentage. The more shots I get up, the easier it is for me." Brian Roberts added 16 points, including a 22-foot pullup jumper to make it 96-91 with 22 seconds left, and the Pelicans made 13 of 20 shots in the fourth quarter, outscoring Minnesota 37-20 in the period. Kevin Love, returning from a one-game absence caused by neck stiffness, had 26 points and 19 rebounds for Minnesota. Corey Brewer added 16 points and Kevin Martin 15. Loves inside presence helped Minnesota build the largest lead of the game, at 12, in the third quarter. Love outrebounded the Pelicans as a team 8-5 and had nine points in the period, seven at the free throw line. His free throws in the final minute of the quarter made it 71-59 before Austin Rivers 11-foot floater pulled the Pelicans back to 10 points heading into the final period. "It was tough because I just came off of playing a number of physical games and I had been taking a beating. Im just trying to give this team all that I can," Love said. "But in the end, it wasnt enough." New Orleans still trailed by nine when J.J. Bareas fast-break layup made it 75-66. The play had Williams muttering to himself in disgust as he called timeout, and New Orleans responded. Gordons 18-foot pull-up jumper and a pair of 3s by Anthony Morrow fueled a 12-2 run. Gordon capped the surge with an explosive dribble drive past Brewer for a two-handed dunk. New Orleans gradually built its lead to seven. Ricky Rubio, who had 11 points, briefly cut it to 89-85 with a 3, but Morrows third 3 on as many attempts made it 92-85 and Minnesota did not get closer than three points after that. "Our decision making offensively wasnt very good," Minnesota coach Rick Adelman said. "I dont think we played well together. Everyone was trying to do it for themselves. ... We have to find a way to trust each other better than that." NOTES: Love was 14 for 17 from the free throw line. ... F Luke Babbitt made his debut for the Pelicans in the second quarter and hit a 3 soon after checking in and finished with five points in 19:29, including a clutch tip-in of Davis miss late in the fourth quarter. Custom Atlanta Falcons Jerseys . Despite Barcelona showing the same vulnerability in defence, Messis best performance since returning from a lengthy injury layoff ensured that his side bounced back from a defeat by Valencia in the previous round.

The Americans, skipped by John Shuster, seized the advantage in the eighth end by scoring five points for a 7-3 lead.

Report: Hackers using telecoms like 'global spy system'
Cellular site equipment in London, Tuesday, June 25, 2019. According to Boston-based Cybereason, a group of state-backed hackers has been burrowing into all kinds of telecommunications companies in order to spy on high-profile targets across the world, the U.S. cybersecurity firm said in a report published Tuesday June 25, 2019.(AP Photo/Raphael Satter)
LONDON — An ambitious group of suspected state-backed hackers has been burrowing into telecommunications companies in order to spy on high-profile targets across the world, a U.S. cybersecurity firm said in a report published Tuesday .
Boston-based Cybereason said the tactic gave hackers sweeping access to VIPs' call records, location data and device information — effectively turning the targets' cellular providers against them.
Cybereason Chief Executive Lior Div said because customers weren't directly targeted, they might never discover that their every movement was being monitored by a hostile power.
The hackers have turned the affected telecoms into "a global surveillance system," Div said in a telephone interview. "Those individuals don't know they were hacked — because they weren't."
Div, who presented his findings at the Cyber Week conference in Tel Aviv, provided scant details about who was targeted in the hack. He said Cybereason had been called in to help an unidentified cellular provider last year and discovered that the hackers had broken into the firm's billing server, where call records are logged.
The hackers were using their access to extract the data of "around 20" customers, Div said.
Who those people were he declined to say, describing them as mainly coming from the world of politics and the military. He said the information was so sensitive he would not provide even the vaguest idea of where they or the telecom were located.
"I'm not even going to share the continent," he said.
Cybereason said the compromise of its customer eventually led it to about 10 other firms that had been hit in a similar way, with hackers stealing data in 100 gigabyte chunks. Div said that, in some cases, the hackers even appeared to be tracking non-phone devices, such as cars or smartwatches.
Cybereason said it was in the process of briefing some of the world's largest telecommunications firms on the development. The GSMA, a group that represents mobile operators worldwide, said in an email it was monitoring the situation.
Who might be behind such hacking campaigns is often a fraught question in a world full of digital false flags. Cybereason said all the signs pointed to APT10 — the nickname often applied to a notorious cyberespionage group that U.S. authorities and digital security experts have tied to the Chinese government.
But Div said the clues they found were so obvious that he and his team sometimes wondered whether they might have been left on purpose.
"I thought: 'Hey, just a second, maybe it's somebody who wants to blame APT10,'" he said.
Chinese authorities routinely deny responsibility for hacking operations. The Chinese Embassy in London did not immediately return a request seeking comment.
Div said it was unclear whether the ultimate targets of the espionage operation were warned, saying that Cybereason had left it to the telecom firms to notify their customers. Div added he had been in touch with "a handful" of law enforcement agencies about the matter, although he did not say which ones.
The FBI in Washington did not immediately return a message from The Associated Press seeking comment on the topic.

Gary Smulyan

During the first two decades after the Second World War, a time when good singing was popular and popular singing was good, Frankie Lane was one of the most beloved vocal stars of them all. Starting in 1947 with his first big record for the Mercury label, THAT’S MY DESIRE, Laine maintained a nearly continuous twenty-plus-year residence on the pop charts, amassing soe two dozen Gold Records with three Number 1 hits in the US, and four more in the UK.
Still, even to his most ardent enthusiasts, a jazz tribute to this pop icon might seem a bit of a stretch. But not to baritone saxophonist Gary Smulyan. “I’ve always thought he was really soulful. A lot of people kind of pigeon-hole him. They say he sang all those country and western tunes and made pop records. But he did a great jazz record in the 1950s. And then I found out that he wrote tunes, as well. As a lyricist, he worked with some great people like Hoagy Carmichael and Matt Dennis – and sometimes he wrote the music himself.”
At this point, arranger Mark Masters, another Frankie Laine partisan, entered the picture. “Gary called me about four years ago,” Mark recalls, “and he said ‘How about “The Jazz Soul of Frankie Laine?”‘ And I said, “Why Not?” Frankie Laine was still living at the time, so I talked to a lady who managed the office for him and asked her if she could look in their files for whatever lead sheets they had of tunes he had either authored or co-authored. And she said they didn’t have anything. Then I talked to his manager. He didn’t have anything. But I have a friend, Bertrand Uberall, who does a lot of research at the Library of Congress, so I asked Bertrand to look into what they might have. And he found between 80 and 100 lead sheets with Frankie Laine’s name on them – a lot of good songs.”

High Noon Reviewed by George Fendel
I know there are those of you who remember the singer Frankie Laine. Although hits like “Mule Train” and “Jezebel” had little jazz content, Laine was jazz hip, and also a very adept composer. It is in the latter arena that Gary Smulyan has mainly celebrated his music. In doing so, he gathered some of Gotham’s busiest cats: Joe Magnarelli, trumpet, John Fedchock, trombone, Dick Oatts, alto sax, and Pete Malinverni, piano. Smulyan also struck a chord of genius in hiring Mark Masters to arrange. Masters, with several celebrated albums under his own name, is one of the best at arranging for ensembles of this size (nine pieces). All shine on non-Laine fare like the title tune, “High Noon.” All the remaining selections were either Laine’s compositions or collaborations. It’s a nice tribute to an artist who has faded from memory somewhat. It makes me think Gary Smulyan is always thinking about worthy thematic material. And in this case, he’s hit the jackpot with great colleagues and fresh, invigorating arranging.

Graptemys.com
A website dedicated to the natural history, status and enjoyment of the North American map turtles (Genus Graptemys).
About Map Turtles
Recognized Species
Cagle’s map turtle
Cagle’s Map Turtle (G. caglei)
Cagle’s map turtle (Graptemys caglei)
Year described -1974
Author – Haynes & McKown
States where they occur – Texas
River systems – Guadalupe River system including the, San Marcos and Antonio rivers (likely extirpated in the San Antonio River)
Habitat type – riffles and pools of rivers consisting of gravel and silt with gravel bars.
State protection status – Threatened in Texas (no collection or possession in Texas)
IUCN status – Endangered A2c+4c; B2ab (iii), population decreasing
C.I.T.E.S. status – Appendix III
Size – The typical adult male size (in carapace length, SCL) is between 89 mm (3.5 in) – 127 mm (5 in) and the largest measured male is 126 mm. Females are much larger reaching up to 213 mm with typical adult specimens being 140 mm (5.5 in) – 203 mm (8 in) SCL.
Head Group – Mesocephalic, however females have the ability to show megacephaly if their primary diet is highly molluscivorous.
Speciation type – Allopatric
Description – The most obvious morphological characteristic of G. caglei is the lime-green coloration of the carapace in juveniles. As they reach maturity the bright lime-green color which is similar to that of hatchling T. s. elegans (red-eared sliders) fades some, especially in females, to a grayish-green. However, some adult males retain a lot of that intense green color. They are the only map turtle species that are truly “green” at some point in their life instead of a mixture of green and gray or brown (olive).
The head pattern of G. caglei when observed from the dorsal view (the top) looks like a yellow or white “V” posterior to the eyes. This “V” is actually the combination of both narrowed postorbital blotches that touch to form the base of the “V”. Like G. p. kohnii (Mississippi map turtle) most examples form a crescent around the eye, however in some specimens, the narrow postorbital blotches terminate before making a crescent such as in G. p. pseudogeographica (false map turtle) that resemble upside down hockey sticks. Posterior to the “V” are two similar figures that appear to “ghost” or loosely copy the pattern of the main narrowed blotches. These secondary patterns are usually not as wide as the ones that form the “V” and do not connect. G. caglei does have a medial stripe from the tip of the snout to the middle of the “V” between the eyes.
The chin pattern is an obvious wide white or yellow transverse bar as seen in the sawback group (G. flavimaculata, G. nigrinoda, G. oculifera), G. barbouri, G. sabinensis and some Calcasieu River G. p. kohnii.
The eyes are white with a bar through the pupil.
The carapace shape is basically flat (not highly-domed) and elliptical with well defined vertebral keels. The rear marginal scutes are also sharp and rigid. The carapace color is typically green but can be gray or brownish (especially in large females). The patterning on the carapace is very intricate and is mostly yellow/orange in color that are circular patterns within circular patterns.
The plastron is typically yellowish with a black outlined mid-line seam and outlined edges of the connections of the plastral scutes . They have a variable but usually minimal plastral pattern that typically extends from the mid-line seam in bell-curve shapes.
Diet – G. caglei eat both plant and animal material, with the latter being the dominant. Males have been shown to eat a lot caddisfly larvae, as well as plant material such as algae, bark and grass that they likely ingest while hunting caddisfly larvae. Adult females were found to eat the same items, as well as snails and molluscs (Killebrew 1991), however the percentages of each item differs by sex. Females eat primarily molluscs and males eat primarily insects. Hatchlings and juveniles are mostly carnivorous and are eating mostly insects and small gastropods.
Reproduction -As with all Graptemys species, G. caglei shows temperature-dependent sex determination (TSD). G. caglei has the highest pivotal temperature (~ 30º C or 86º F) of any Graptemys species and is also the map turtle with the southernmost range (not including exotic introductions of G p. kohnii in Florida). However, variation in pivotal temperature among all Graptemys species is ≤ 1º C. (Wibbels et al. 1991).
Clutch size and number – 1- 6 eggs (Wibbels et al. 1991), 1-8 eggs with average clutch size of 3.8 (Killebrew and Babitzke 1996) 2-3 clutches per year (Garrett and Barker 1987, Vermersch 1992).
Conservation issues – The main reason for their decline is habitat loss due to the silting of the river from erosion from agriculture and development. Although G. caglei lives in slow to moderately fast limestone and/or mud-bottomed streams and rivers, they prey they feed upon depend on water with relatively low amounts of substrate (silt) in it. When sections of the river become too silty, the prey dies and G. caglei can no longer occupy that section of the river. Man-made impoundments (dams and reservoirs) also slow or stop the river current and make it difficult for molluscs (G. caglei food) to prosper. However, impoundments (dams) do not seem to restrict gene flow in this species, as does isolation due to distance (Ward et al. 2013).
Male G. caglei basking
Shooting or “turtle plinking” is the act of shooting basking turtles off logs, rocks, etc. for fun or target practice. This is a somewhat popular and illegal activity in certain areas and is known to occur in Texas with this species. Collecting for the national and international pet market was likely a very common occurrence, however the increased captive-breeding of this species by commercial or non-commercial turtle breeders in modern times has undoubtedly lessened the demand for poached wild-caught specimens.
G. caglei was a candidate species for federal listing until 2006. It was taken off that list when Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) added more legislation to prevent shooting and collection. If any species of Graptemys is in need of more protection and habitat restoration it is G. caglei.
Notes – It is worth mentioning that the high pivotal temperature of this species could have conservation implications if there were alterations to the river, nesting beaches, or even global warming (Wibbels et al. 1991). Rising temps due to climate change could cause more eggs to hatch as female, therefore reducing the amount of males in the population. Also, dredging of the river to remove silt could also affect incubating eggs if it the spoil was left on the banks where they nest (Jackson et al. 2006). The decomposition of dredged aquatic vegetation on the banks would create heat therefore raising the temperature of the eggs in a clutch.

The fact that G. caglei is considered by many Graptemys researchers to be the most imperiled or “most in trouble” species of the genus is interesting since it is not a federally listed species. G. flavimaculata (1991) and G. oculifera (1986) are both listed as threatened by the USFWS and appear to be in far less trouble than G. caglei especially with the addition of several county records and decent numbers during basking surveys and trapping in Mississippi. This is not the case with G. caglei as they appear to be extirpated from the San Antonio River and there are now gaps in their range in the Guadalupe River due to river degradation due to siltation from agriculture.
Unscrupulous collection for the pet trade by commercial collectors, at least up until about a decade ago likely had a negative impact on G. caglei populations in certain sections of river especially when compounded with environmental issues with the Guadalupe River System. However, continued and growing success in captive breeding of this species by the turtle breeders/hobbyists in the U.S. in recent years has severely lowered the demand and therefore commercial value in G. caglei. At least five captive-breeders based out of Florida and California have had consistent success breeding and offering captive-bred hatchling G. caglei in the private sector. Although the addition of these captive-bred individuals does not directly help wild populations of G. caglei by being released back into the wild, they indirectly help conservation efforts by lowering the demand and commercial value for this endemic turtle. The consistent availability of legally acquired captive-bred turtles makes commercial collecting (both legal and illegal) less profitable and less worth the risk and trouble.
The idea of assurance colonies has become a very popular topic and movement in recent years, especially by U.S. turtle advocate groups such as the TSA (Turtle Survival Alliance), The Turtle Conservancy, Turtle & Tortoise Preservation Group (TTPG) and the Turtle Room. G. caglei is well represented in private U. S. collections at this time if the need for reintroduction was needed in the future.

USAID/PROLoG Supports National Center for Educational Quality Enhancement to Draft Subject Benchmark Document for law
In order to renew the 2011 Benchmark document, and make it compatible with the new National Qualification Framework, the National Center for Educational Quality Enhancement (EQE) established an expert working group comprised of representatives of Georgian law schools, the judiciary, notaries and the Georgian Bar Association. The first draft document was finished at the end of September.
On October 11-12, with USAID/PROLoG’s support, a two-day working meeting was organized in Kakheti. WG members worked with USAID/PROLoG’s expert, Richard Grimes, an experienced UK legal education expert, on the draft of the Benchmark document of law programs. Mr. Grimes has been involved in drafting subject benchmark statements for Law in the UK. The WG reached agreement on controversial issues and definitions to be incorporated in the document. They are expected to submit the final draft by the end of October. This Benchmark will be used as a guiding document for accreditation of law programs in 2020 in Georgia.
The Benchmark document for law programs will improve the procedures for accreditation of law programs in Georgia and support the development of transparent and uniform criteria for evaluation of educational programs. It will also support recognition of skills and competences and lead to a shift towards a learning outcomes orientation in Georgian education.

Lethal Halo
“The soul traveller is eternal. Where one chapter ends, another begins. So it repeats.”
Oct 30, 2014 — Canadian melodic metal ensemble, LETHAL HALO have revealed today the full details for their new release. The 4-track self-produced EP will be titled “Animanaut” and be made available online November 18, 2014. Physical copies will also be made available at live shows and through the band’s various online outlets.
The recording is the culmination the band’s growth since their 2011 album, “Process of Progress”. Among the many changes the core of the band has experienced is the inclusion of vocalist Andrew Bailey and bassist/backing vocalist Gary Carter. The dichotomy of influences and personalities helped develop the band’s modern melodic metal tendencies with a more progressive approach. The band worked with Mike Rogerson & Cam Boyer at Harbourside IT in North Vancouver to put together this piece of the band’s history. This is a state of change; a theme that runs through the EP and the band as a whole.
Following the November 18 worldwide (digital) release, the band will embark on a short 2-leg Canadian tour in direct support of the release in late November. Preliminary local shows and subsequent media are planned for post-tour.

Seeing Giants
Mike Body's new single "Seeing Giants" features King Medullah is a great track! Reminding me of a young Kayne West mixed with Pitbull. A well produced instrumental behind his rap. Some solid production, but nothing that takes it to the next level. When King Medullah lays down his bridge you can hear the double tracking which differentiates it from the rest of the track. The chorus is catchy and you can definitely bob your head to it.
The music video is well shot and well edited. I wish there had been a bit more stylizing of the shots. It gives a gritty look yet not too dark that its authentic.
Its great seeing Christian artists deliver their message in a format that isn't too in your face. Positive message through some dark tones. Hammer Records artist Rayne has a similar view. Check out his Facebook page HERE.
Having A Bit Of A Different Day
Montreal has always been full of great music. We know a few Vancouver bands that have moved out there JUST to play the Montreal music scene. Some great venues, good promoters and TONS of awesome bands! One of those bands are called Different Days. This pop rock group has some pumping tunes, catchy hooks and a great sound.
Their 5 track self titled EP is full of well produced tracks. A mix between Metric, Paramore and even a little bit of Avril Lavigne in there. Full of dynamics I can only imagine the songs would look great on stage! Using the age-old Nirvana/Pixie technique of quite verses with loud chorus really allows separation and allows the listener to pick up on the structure of the song quickly. You can hear some punk influences in the tracks but without making things messy.
I love seeing bands evolve and grow. I would keep my eye on these guys and hopefully see them keep playing shows, growing their fan base and writing more catchy tunes!

Different Days EP by Different Days
Get A Crane To Lift This Rock!
The Cranes are a rock band based out in Montreal. Their music has so many different flavours in it but the overall vibe is always upbeat and sure does make your head bop!
Bringing in Ska influences on some tracks, heavier influences on others really adds dynamics to their album. Their 9 track EP is well produced and well written. The vocals are incredibly rock and roll with both great tone and a fantastic amount of grit. The guitar work is simple enough in parts but can really bring out the shred when needed. The bass rides along and really fills out the sound. The drums are fantastically placed and once again perfectly built to fit the rock genre.
This album is a must check out for those rock'n'roll lovers. "Let Them In" is my personal favourite. I hope to see these guys live and see them kick butt one day!
Check out their website HERE and their Facebook page HERE.
Living In A Picture Frame
Some songs are well written songs, but sometimes just lack that slight push into the extraordinary. It could be the genre placement of the song, lyrical content, melodies or many other factors but it just seems like something is missing.
"Picture Frame" is James Faulkner's new single off his upcoming album which is due to be released next year. The track has a great sense of happiness around it. From the poppy drums to the singer-songwriter type guitar, all the instruments are well played. The vocals remind me of the band, Barenaked Ladies, a great vocal tone and a relaxed chill fun loving sound.
When you start listening to the track you can emerge yourself into this world inside a picture frame. The whole song tends to stay on one level. The chorus doesn't really differentiate itself from the verses enough in my mind. Its a very similar melody that is catchy but not distinct or memorable enough to be the final hook.
The bridge takes thing to a different level but at the same time I would have loved to the vocals step up and try something more vocally challenging. This would have been a perfect time to add some grit and sadness because the lyrics take a darker tone. The guitar solo seems almost like the whole song was written around it instead of the other way around.
Overall its a well written song, but something about it just is missing. If you get a chance take a listen to his Tom Cochrane cover and it will give you a real sense of what emotions his voice can deliver. Also you get to hear him with a full orchestral band behind him which looks great!

Blankfest Vancouver is proud to announce its third annual clothing / fund raising event on November 8th at the Railway Club in support of the city’s homeless with proceeds going to aid the Covenant House, the non-profit shelter that helps the cities street youth from age 16-24 who have fled physical, emotional and/or sexual abuse, along with those who have been forced from their homes or those who have aged out of foster care.

They make this possible through a carefully designed Continuum of Care including a daily drop-in, a 54 bed crisis shelter, transitional housing, relapse prevention and life-skills training.
“Blank-Fest provides significant support to the homeless youth Covenant House serves. We’re looking forward to the third Vancouver Blank-Fest; the generosity of the Blank-Fest team, participating bands and patrons helps Covenant change the lives of over 1,400 young people a year”. – Mark Savard, Development Officer – Community Giving (Covenant House Vancouver)

This year’s event will see local Vancouver bands and artists come together performing to raise awareness, funds and clothing for the city’s homeless.
As the event slogan goes, ‘It’s About The Homeless, Nothing More, Nothing Less.’.
Blankfest Vancouver is just one of many events across North America inspired by founder Kenn Rowell, who has been organizing Blankfest in New York City since 1997 and has encouraged others to hold Blankfests in various parts of the USA, Canada (Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto, Calgary) and Europe to help the homeless with the support from their music communities

Nerds Unite!
Come One! Come All! For a night of EPIC fantasy! with your swords, your knights in shining armor, and your beer maidens as Aesir Promotions presents Vancouver, BC’s fourth annual NerdFest at Rickshaw Theatre on November 8th. Headlined by Whithorse, YT’s The Whiskeydicks, a group of Celtic Gypsy party rockers who have spent the better part of a decade carving a reputation for themselves as “One Hell of a Good Time” using fiery fiddle licks, cello played like a bass, bombastic trumpet, vivacious drum beats, energetic guitar strumming, and voice to tell stories of good times past. The Whiskeydicks play songs people know but in a way they’d never imagine. Their formula works and has earned the band acclaim from audiences everywhere. Nerdfest will also be their CD release show for their new self-titled and fourth studio recording.
“If Gogol Bordello and the Corb Lund Band got drunk, hooked up and then nine months later popped out a little whippersnapper, that baby would probably be the Whiskeydicks. That is to say this BC-by-way-of-Whitehorse band combine various elements of Celtic, country, rock and Gypsy music and filter them through punk sensibilities and a rowdy disposition.” – Exclaim! Magazine
In addition to the headliners, the night includes a variety of entertainment with Diamond Minx (Vancouver’s Blonde Bombshell of Burlesque), live music from the Hyperacoustic Prog-Rock band Runaway Four (formerly Tasty Animals), sword fighting demonstrated by Academie Duello (video), magic, roaming medieval actors, a costume contest plus vendors of all types selling their goods and services that will bring out the nerd in all of us. This is an event not to be missed!
Nerdfest organizer Morgan Zentner comments:
“NerdFest is gearing up for it’s fourth year in Vancouver, BC this November 8th. Over the past 3 years we’ve had a variety of acts, vendors and performers with each year gaining more momentum than the last. With the help of a great group of volunteers, the Rickshaw Theatre staff and our generous sponsors, NerdFest IV will be the biggest event yet! This year we will have veteran performers The Whiskeydicks, Runaway Four (formerly Tasty Animals) and Academie Duello and we will be adding to the roster Diamond Minx, Mr YoYoThrower and more acts will be announced soon. Of course we will have the ever popular costume contest so we encourage everyone to grab your favorite costume and join in the fun.”

Thunderstorm Thoughts
Music is always about self expression. Many great tunes have come from inspiration such as love, hate, even oppression. A whole genre of music (blues and jazz) came from racial oppression. Folk has long since been a safe harbour of people expressing their ideas through songs. Bob Dylan has created a whole career just based on that!
Brahma Blue has created a 23 track album over one night during a thunderstorm. 1 microphone created such an organic feel its as if your sitting with him on his floor and hearing him whisper sweet nothings into your ears. Having such an original and tonally rich voice, sometimes it doesn't even matter what he is singing about, all that maters is that it just flows into your cerebellum. So grab some headphones and crank this album up with a nice cup of tea and enjoy.

If I Love You, Will You Hold Your Love Against Me?
Being a musician is hard. No way around it. Tons of people are creating great music that will never reach the ears of the public. Zalesko is one of those artists. 20 albums under his belt and still pumping out music. We took a look at "Hold Your Love Against Me".
This album is meant to put on a chill parties or while your relaxing on a sunday morning. Full of diverse musically stimulating tracks. The vocals are just far back enough in the mix to not have to focus on the words but to just let your mind wander. Each track is a groove based psychedelic rock anthem. Think Woodstock, everyone is just chilling out and excited to just be there and experience the experience. This album is just that, don't take it for trying to be a top 40 hit or a new revelation in music, just enjoy it. It reminds me if Bob Dylan teamed up with Eric Clapton and sat together in a hookah lounge.
Check out the album and all his other work!
Hold Your Love Against Me by Zalesko
Where The River Divides
Hailing from Richmond, River's Divide shared with us their 6 track album and it sounds fantastic! Some classic rock twang bringing back a Blue Oyster Cult sound mixed with some modern sounds like Oasis create this lyric driven rock album.
Catchy melodic riffs help fill out the sound of the first track titled "FalseHoods". The album is full of a diverse array of tracks such as "Everything Enter" which has more of a funk rock feel. Having all four band members sing really adds flavour and depth to each track. The true essence of the classic rock era was the complex harmonies and River's Divide did a fantastic job adding that into this album. The guitar work is fantastic and really brings out that 70's era guitar sound like the Allman brothers with some Hendrix thrown in there.
These songs are really stories told with a musical background. Definitely worth checking out! Below is the album and check them out on Facebook HERE.

The Moon Is Rising
Demoing is an important part of song writing. It's all fine and dandy to write songs, but until you actually record it, even with just phone, can you actually hear what it sounds like. Sy Du has recorded some cool demos and from a producers view I can hear the ideas formed into what they could actually sound like. From a common listeners ear some people might dismiss these tracks. Lots of people are so used to hearing the final polished songs on the radio that their ears just cannot adjust to anything rawer than than.
These tracks sound to me more like southern rock or stoner rock than straight blues rock. Granted, stoner rock is basically just a little more progressive blues rock. With the style of vocals on the track right now I could see more of a spacier far out direction of production than just a standard blues album. The vocals could use a bit of tuning or just a couple more takes to order to achieve the desired result. The bass sounds nice and thick and rounded and the overall ideas and pretty solid.
Check out the tracks below!

Getting Sly With Things
Musician creation is one of the most magical things in existence. Some people create music for themselves, some people create music to make money, and some people find a balance of the two. There is no wrong way or right way to create music. Katie Sly has been creating music since she was very young. Plenty of musicians have done that, but she decided to take things to the next level and chase her dreams. She travelled down to LA to attend school to gain a Associates Degree In Bass Performance. Once she returned to Canada she founded Steel Vibrations, a music and media production company, utilizing her industry experience.
She has started creating her own solo work in 2011 and has released a radio ready single titled "Progress". This piano driven track has a great laid back ambient feel. The production value sounds fantastic and each instrument has a very natural and rounded tone. "Progress" reminds me of some tracks by "Moby". Musically stimulating but the track just seems to slowly evolve into other ideas. As far as being a single for radio its not really fitted to radio length. The song structure is more flowing than most of the stuff on the radio today. The strings have a thick organic sound which fits nicely with the laid back vocals. If you want some relaxing music to listen to while reading a good book or doing some meditation I would highly recommend putting this on the speakers!

Go Get Yourself A Blue Tattoo
Since moving to Vancouver Island, we've noticed the abundance of blues players around here. There are a number of professional bands that go around the island playing at events, bars and basically every kind of event you can think of! The Blue Tattoo band plays some mean blues tunes all around the island. After reading a bio from each band member this band has a ton of experience under their belt so it makes sense on why their tunes are so polished already.
Playing both cover tunes and originals these guys are sure to get your groove moving and your hips shaking! It puts a smile on my face seeing a keyboard player in the mix as well. Too many times I just see a four piece blues band around town but it adds such a new dynamic to have a keyboard. The vocals have a great amount of grit to them and some great dynamics. Some great guitar work as well as classic bass lines all tied together with real laid back drums create the sound of this versatile band.
Check them out on Facebook HERE. Reverbnation HERE.
Do Your Lights Howl?
Howling Lights is an alternative band from Vancouver. For being one of the younger bands that we've reviewed, they have a great developed sound. Their self titled EP contains 5 tracks of pure alt rock.
Their first track "Fold" reminds me of a mix of U2 and Kings Of Leon. A very bass and drum driven song with great guitar flavours added throughout. The vocals remain quite chill and laid back from the most part until the very end which ends in a spectacular build leading into the final chorus. A great balance of drive and a pretty steady dynamic make the track flow nicely.
"By My Side", the second track is a acoustic driven piece which reminds me a tad of the Allman Brothers mixed with Pearl Jam. A very catch instrumental riffs breaks up the song into sections which keep it from being too singer/songwrittery. A nice gritty guitar solo full of melodic ideas adds nicely to the track.
The third track "Black And Blue" reminds me a lot of the previous track. I would have liked to see some different phrasing to distinguish it from "By My Side". Instrumentally it adds flavour by a crunchy guitar melody and a more driving chorus. In this track sometimes I found the lead guitar mixed a bit to high in the mix that it pops out too much in your face and hides the vocals. One of the most important parts of a song, I think, is to get the message of the lyrics across. I loved the tone and sound of the vocals in the first track of the EP that I wished it had been higher in the mix so you can hear all the natural grit, softness, dynamics and overall tone of the vocals a bit more.
"Clouds" starts with a nice intro. The vocals are noticeably louder and with a great radio quality balance. Right away this track struck me as the single of the EP. A little more indie/folk flavour in this track than the previous ones. This track is also structured perfectly to be both catchy but musically stimulating. I can already image a great music video for this piece.
The final track "Midtown" brings more of a indie rock flavour back into the mix with great dynamics between chorus and verses. I could have seen a little tighter drums on the pre-choruses to add some definition on some of the musical stops they have there. This track I would have loved to hear some harmonies to bring it to the next level. Its a solid track but I think with just a few adjustments it could stand out and be a great track.

The Howling Lights EP by The Howling Lights

Its not often we get emails from ancient civilizations, but when we do we definitely review their new album! It was a pleasure to hear such a beautiful album. Right from the opening track titled "The Benefits Of Being Alone" you can hear the level of production on this album. Im not saying that all albums need a big production budget, but its nice to hear some really refined, well mixed tracks.
This album has a great mix of college rock and modern rock. Almost a hint of "The Smashing Pumpkins" feel in some of the tracks. The vocals has a great tone and grit too it. It has a great non-chalant vibe going on like, Im singing these well written songs, but you know, whatever. A backing vocal mixes perfectly on certain parts, really adding depth and flavour to different parts. On some later tracks like "East" you can hear the lead vocalist use a little bit more power, but does a great job without being "whiney".
The instrumentation is fantastic. Plays great on record and I would bet my sons college fund that it would sound killer live! Great dynamics between verses, choruses and bridges. The guitar parts have some fantastic melodic lines that really contribute to the overall sound. Nice thick ridding bass that drives the songs along with a sense of purpose. The drums really keep the whole sound together. Such a straightforward rock sound with its parts perfectly fitting the feeling of the song. The drums also do a great job of not being too busy, allowing for both the guitar and vocals to have room sonically.
This album is well written, well produced, well recorded and well mixed. Therefore it creates a radio ready album that is both catchy but also musically stimulating. Check out their album HERE and their Facebook page HERE.

Kaine And Rounds Introduce DOD Cyber Scholarship Program Act Of 2017
March 23, 2017 HRM Staff Cybersecurity, DoD Cyber Scholarship Program Act of 2017, Mike Rounds, Tim Kaine
WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senators Tim Kaine (D-VA), a member of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions and Armed Services Committees, and Mike Rounds (R-SD), Chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee’s Subcommittee on Cybersecurity, introduced a bill today to strengthen the cybersecurity workforce that is critical to addressing the United States’ growing cyber challenges. The DoD Cyber Scholarship Program Act of 2017 would reinvigorate and modify an existing DoD scholarship program for students pursuing degrees in cybersecurity fields. This bill would authorize the DoD’s scholarship fund to receive $10 million for FY 2018 and would expand scholarships to students pursuing associate’s degrees at several community colleges.
“A well-trained and highly skilled cyber workforce is essential to addressing the United States’ growing cybersecurity challenges,” Kaine said. “There are good-paying jobs in Virginia and across the country in the cyber field that are going unfilled, and it’s clear we must make it easier for students to access the programs that prepare them for these roles. Expanding scholarship funds so they’re available to community college students is a commonsense change that will help put more of Virginia’s students on a path to success and support our national security needs.”
“As our reliance on technology in everyday life continues to grow, so does our threat of cyber-attacks which could significantly disrupt our economy and weaken our national security,” Rounds said. “This expanding threat underscores the need to recruit and train cybersecurity professionals. In particular, our national shortage of these experts impacts the Defense Department’s ability to accomplish its cyber missions. Our legislation strengthens a proven cybersecurity scholarship program that has amply benefited students in South Dakota and nationwide as they embarked on cybersecurity careers in support of our national security.”
In a hearing on cybersecurity last week, General Keith Alexander, former head of the U.S. Cyber Command, told Senator Kaine that this scholarship program would be an effective tool to recruit talent because future leaders will need a cybersecurity knowledge base.
The bill would require that at least 5% of scholarship funds go to 2-year program students who attend institutions designated by the NSA and DHS as Centers of Academic Excellence (CAE). The bill would also make competitive grants available to eligible schools for developing cybersecurity academic programs. Virginia CAEs eligible to apply for grants and scholarships would include: Lord Fairfax Community College, Danville Community College, Tidewater Community College, Northern Virginia Community College, George Mason University, Hampton University, James Madison University, Marymount University, Norfolk State University, Radford University, and Virginia Tech.
“From the security of our nation to the safety of your checking account, cybersecurity is increasingly essential, and community colleges play a critical role in training the professionals the industry desperately needs. I applaud Senator Kaine and others working to create the Department of Defense Cyber Scholarship Program of 2017. These scholarships will help individuals train at our growing list of colleges designated for the prestigious Center of Academic Excellence designation in cybersecurity and earn the necessary degrees to build our pipeline of vital cybersecurity experts,” said Virginia Community College System Chancellor Glenn DuBois.
“The Department of Defense Scholarship Program Act of 2017 is a strategic opportunity to catalyze community colleges, like NOVA, as a collective national infrastructure to address one of our nation’s most pressing strategic workforce issues. With student populations that include thousands of veterans, and programs designed to meet real world workplace challenges while also offering further opportunity for educational advancement, community colleges are uniquely positioned to meet the cyber workforce challenge. Senator Kaine’s initiative for reinvigorating the Department of Defense Cyber Scholarship Program could help NOVA and colleges like us attract additional expert faculty and, most importantly, open the door to scholarship funds to support our students pursuing cybersecurity degrees. As the President of Northern Virginia Community College, I am happy to voice my strong support for The Department of Defense Scholarship Program Act of 2017,” said Northern Virginia Community College President, Dr. Scott Ralls.
Scholarship recipients are required to fulfill a service obligation by working in a cybersecurity position at DoD upon graduation.

Alaska’s Bogoslof volcano in the Aleutian Islands erupts again
ANCHORAGE, Alaska – A volcano erupts in Alaska, the aleutian islands.
The Alaska Volcano Observatory says a coast guard ship’s crew was in the area of Bogoslof volcano Friday morning and was witness of an ash cloud from the volcanic eruption that lasted for about an hour.
Volcanologist Robert McGimsey says the plume was estimated to be less than 30,000 feet.
He says Unalaska Island is about 61 km from the volcano, is the closest populated area, but that the wind is blowing all the ash away from populated areas.
The eruption prompted the observatory to issue its highest alert level for the aviation industry after the volcano eruptions earlier this week also prompted the highest alert level.
Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Allen Kenitzer says airlines were rerouting flights around the plume.
He says there were no reports of delays.

Feared Trump Spy Network Captures “Deep State” Assassins Spreading Mysterious Flu Virus In Massachusetts
By: Sorcha Faal, and as reported to her Western Subscribers
A breathtaking new Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) report circulating in the Kremlin today states that the feared private spy network set up by President Donald Trump captured two American shadow government “Deep State” assassins on 25 March in Tewksbury, Massachusetts, identified as Francho S. Bradley and Adrianne D. Jennings—and after whose capture, saw Bradley possessing his Department of Defense (DoD) concealed carry weapons badge and admitting that he was “on a classified government mission”—but whose true “mission” was to spread a mysterious flu virus which Dr. Ali Raja, Vice Chairman of Massachusetts General Hospital’s emergency department, has just warned is already impacting his State. [Note: Some words and/or phrases appearing in quotes in this report are English language approximations of Russian words/phrases having no exact counterpart.]
According to this report, in January, 2017, SVR intelligence analysts reported that forces loyal to President Trump conducted a massive raid on the Atlanta, Georgia, headquarters of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)—and that was followed a few weeks later by “Deep State” financier-operative Bill Gates suddenly appeared before all of the defense ministers in the world at the Munich Security Conference to announce that 30 million human beings would soon die from an “unspecified/not known” pandemic.
In early January of this year, this report continues, loyal Trump forces preparing a trap for his “Deep State” enemies were blindsided when, without notice, the CDC gravely announced an event that it said would start preparing the Americanpeople for nuclear war.
Though this CDC nuclear war warning was quickly taken down from their website, this report details, the person identified for its posting was US Public Health Service Commander Dr. Timothy Cunningham—but who before he could be questioned by Trump loyal forces, disappeared on 12 February leaving his wallet, dog and keys inside his locked house that had two open windows—with the vast “Deep State” mainstream propaganda media machine then quickly claiming that he may have gone missing because he didn’t receive a promotion—that was subsequently shown to be a “fake news” lie as Commander Cunningham had, indeed, just been given a promotion by the CDC prior to his disappearing.
Important to note about Commander Dr. Cunningham, this report says, is that his Doctor of Science (ScD) degree is a higher doctorate than those possessing a normal medical doctorate of Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.)—thus giving grave credibility to the warning he issued shortly before his disappearance that the “disastrous” flu shot was responsible for the deadly flu epidemic that swept America this past year.
Immediately upon Commander Dr. Cunningham being confirmed as missing, this report continues, President Trump’s highly secretive global spy network sent out an emergency bulletin requesting that all local police departments in the United States be on the lookout for “certain persons” meeting some unique characteristics—one of which was persons staying in temporary lodgings (motels/hotels) planting surveillance cameras around their rooms—such as known CIAoperative Stephen Paddock had done prior to the Las Vegas Massacre.
One of the persons receiving this emergency bulletin from Trump’s global spy network, this report explains, was Police Chief Timothy B. Sheehan of the Tewksbury Massachusetts Police Department—whose membership in the over 330,000-strong National Fraternal Order of Police, that overwhelmingly supports Trump, gives Trump’s secretive global spy network vast intelligence that bypasses normal US federal police agencies infiltrated by “Deep State” operatives.
Being armed with the knowledge of what Trump’s global spy network was looking for, this report further details, Tewksbury Police Chief Sheehan, this past Sunday (25 March), sprung into action when he was alerted that a man named Francho S. Bradley had called his police department saying that the surveillance camera he had attached to the door of his room at a local hotel had gone out—immediately after which saw dozens of Tewksbury and neighboring police forces descend on the Extended Stay Residence Inn Marriott—which is the same hotel chain owning the Blackstone Hotel in Chicago said to have been used by CIA operative Stephen Paddock in the months just prior to the Las Vegas Massacre.
Like CIA operative Stephen Paddock, too, this report continues, when Tewksbury police forces entered the room of Francho S. Bradley, they were confronted with a massive arsenal of weapons that included semi-automatic weapons, bump stocks, silencers, grenade launchers, sophisticated communications systems and large-capacity magazines for various types of guns.
Francho S. Bradley quickly stated to Tewksbury police forces that he and his companion Adrianne D. Jennings were “on a classified mission”—with it quickly being discovered that Bradley had a valid Department of Defense (DoD) concealed weapons carry badge, and whose company he owns, named Ensyma, proudly displays badges for a number of US government agencies, including the CDC, the Department of Energy, ITER, Medical Countermeasures Systems, CERN, and Soldier Sensors and Lasers—and whose lawyer told police Bradley, also, sells communication devices to the US military.
“Deep State” assassin Adrianne D. Jennings captured along with Bradley, this report further notes, is a Harvard University graduate who recently shared photos from what she labeled a “business trip” to Havana, Cuba, and who in the past year posted to her social media accounts about CIA operative Stephen Paddock presenting theories for his motive.
Ensyma—the company owned by “Deep State” assassin Francho S. Bradley
Most critical, though, to note about “Deep State” assassin Francho S. Bradley, this report details, is his having been included in a Wikileaks database of known US intelligence operatives—and as one report details by stating—and that immediately after this stunning revelation, saw Wikileaks leader Julian Assange having his internet service cut off:
According to Francho Bradley’s LinkedIn profile, he also goes by Frank Bradley and lives in Coppell, Texas. These two facts help connect him to a series of WikiLeaks releases. Frank Bradley and his Ensyma email address (Frank.Bradley@Ensyma.us) show up on a WikiLeaks file called “Lifetime Value Report.” This is part of a series of releases by WikiLeaks on its Global Intelligence Files from a 2012 Stratfor release.
WikiLeaks’ explanation of the report is: “They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal’s Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor’s web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.
To what the true “classified mission” of “Deep State” assassins Francho S. Bradley and Adrianne D. Jennings really was, SVR intelligence analysts in this report state, was to mass infect a large anti-gun rally occurring in Boston this past Sunday with a manmade weaponized flu virus created by “Deep State” aligned scientists at the CDC—with their, at least, partial success of doing so now being reported with what is being called a “second flu wave” hitting this region—and whose best American expert to defend against would be the CDC’s Commander Dr. Cunningham, who is their top Epidemic Intelligence officer—if he wasn’t missing.
With over 1,200 people in Texas alone reported to have died from this CDC created “Super Deadly Flu Strain” in the last week of January, this report concludes, the American people are still not being told the truth that this flu virus has been weaponized for its widest transmission—and who still can’t comprehend that the “Deep State” is prepared to kill millions to get out the mess they’re in—and whose mass of victems will, no doubt, be Trump supporters whom the “Deep State” mainstream propaganda media has already declared “deserve to die”.
“The world is a dangerous place to live, not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don't do anything about it.”

Trump Moves In For Kill Against Europe While Driving Stake Into Heart Of American Leftists
May 31, 2018 Sorcha Faal Sorcha Faal
An interesting new Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) report circulating the Kremlin today detailing the just completed telephonic conference between Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo notes that at the same time the Americans are expressing their desire for better relations with Russia, President Trump is “moving in for the kill” against the European Union by slamming them with punishing tariffs—while at the same time, Trump is driving a stake into the very heart of America’s leftists with his remaking of the entire Judicial Branch of the tripartite structure that comprises the Constitutional United States Republic, and that will, undoubtedly, stamp his mark on his nation for, at least, the next 50 years.

Stennis (CVN-74) [Note: CV designates aircraft carrier/CVN designated nuclear aircraft carrier] sailing in the waters of the Middle East in the North Arabian Sea—but whose mission is now ended after President Trump ordered an end to the air war in Syria, and whose next stop will be its home port in Washington State—thus creating an historical first that will see the world’s oceans emptied of all 11 of America’s aircraft carrier strike groups—that are formidable weapons composed of roughly 7,500 personnel, an aircraft carrier, at least one cruiser, a destroyer squadron of at least two destroyers or frigates, and a carrier air wing of 65 to 70 aircraft.

Fail: Washington Post Hoax On Trump’s “Top Secret Time Travel Project”
The Washington Post bravely risks it all to reveal that by 2016, Donald Trump used his access to Gen. Michael Flynn to quietly direct DARPA, then in secret works with CERN in Switzerland, to commission the first time machine ever constructed. The result? An epic rap battle between Trump and Anne Frank.
uncle sam sayeth unto thee
Despite its failures, the truth is the press still can save us, and even the shadow elites admit it. In the meantime, don’t count on it. Remember that there is no jailer more powerful than one who can imprison your mind, and that enslavement is the job of the news broadcaster dedicated to creating a fear-based reality and not reflecting life it as it really is.
Remember that citizen journalism works, and never rely on a single source.
Rare Candor from the Corporate Media
“There is no such thing… in America, as an independent press… If I allowed my honest opinions to appear in one issue of my paper, before twenty-four hours my occupation would be gone. The business of the journalists is to destroy the truth, to lie outright, to pervert, to vilify, to fawn at the feet of mammon, and to sell his country and his race for his daily bread. You know it and I know it, and what folly is this toasting an independent press? We are the tools and vassals of rich men behind the scenes… Our talents, our possibilities and our lives are all the property of other men. We are intellectual prostitutes.” John Swinton,New York Times Chief Editor 1880

By working for Deepscan—the company that recruits Slayers as bodyguards—Buffy thought she would disengage herself from the world of demons and garner a more significant income, to boot.

HSY Racing is an exciting new era for Australia’s leading distributor and supplier of new European OEM, OES and quality aftermarket parts to independent workshops. This project was brought together in collaboration with HSY’s valued partner suppliers – Ate, Pierburg, Liqui-Moly, ZF, Vaico, Schaeffler, Bosch and Hella, who all have their brands proudly displayed on the sleek looking Audi.
The HSY Racing Audi R8 LMS will compete in all 6 rounds of the Australian GT Championship with a team of to be confirmed professional drivers taking the helm of the 585hp GT3 car, who will be aiming at collecting silverware for the HSY Racing team from the very first race.
“Our new HSY Racing division and sponsorship platform represents the next step in our evolution as a fiercely independent European parts supplier,” said Nick Redmond, HSY National Sales and Marketing Manager.
“The HSY Racing project provides some great benefits to our brand. Firstly, it is a very exciting way for us to further publicise who we are and what we offer, all beautifully displayed on a very relevant and iconic European racing machine in the Audi R8 LMS. Secondly and just as importantly, it is a great way to involve our suppliers and further build their presence in Australia.”
“Anyone can supply parts but being able to build long term partnerships with leading companies and them showing faith in us and supporting us, speaks volume of where we sit and where we are headed,” said Redmond.
As well as exposure and supplier involvement, HSY will also benefit from the numerous opportunities for brand activations, promotions and fresh content on offer throughout the season.
The Audi R8 LMS will be maintained and delivered to each event by the highly qualified Melbourne Performance Centre team, overseen by Managing Director Troy Russell.
“We’re excited to have HSY and their suppliers supporting an Audi R8 from the Melbourne Performance Centre stable. We will ensure the HSY Racing Audi is prepared perfectly and ready for battle in what is an extremely exciting series to be involved with,” said Troy Russell.
The first race for the HSY Racing Audi R8 will be the high profile 2018 Liqui-Moly Bathurst 12 Hour taking place 2nd – 4th February. Let the racing begin!

October 24 2014 10:01 am Related News The Central Information Commission has been headless since August 22 and in the interim the Right to Information is being eroded A month ago the Madras High Court invited widespread criticism by ruling that an RTI applicant must state reasons for seeking information and that she must serve the public interest Now the office of the governor of Maharashtra has issued a government resolution empowering officers to ignore requests that do not serve any public interest The Madras High Court had moved suo motu to review its own order clarifying that it violated Section 6(2) of the RTI Act which states that an application does not have to disclose reasons However the resolution in Maharashtra remains to be reversed These moves appear to stem from impatience about frivolous and motivated requests As the Madras High Court had explained the legislatures had not intended that information was to be handed out “like pamphlets to any person unmindful of the object” In Mumbai the Raj Bhavan is particularly disinterested in providing personal information that may compromise privacy especially in matters which may serve a private interest However the authorities cannot ascribe motive or lack of it — which is frivolity by another name — to applicants with any degree of certainty until the information released is put to use Or not used as the case may be Besides to declare the motive of an RTI query in advance is self-defeating alerting the very authorities that it may be designed to catch out The mechanism came with automatism built in precisely to negate governmental discretion The prevention of misuse should not be the first concern in the working of a law Efficiency in use should routinely trump that argument specially in laws that effect fundamental changes in human behaviour and public practices A parallel may be drawn with the anti-dowry law which is turning the tide on a mainstream but ugly custom Its provisions are perceived to have been widely misused but the Supreme Court has nevertheless upheld Section 498A of the IPC which criminalises cruelty to women while warning that it should not be used to settle scores This year Lalitha Kumaramangalam the new chairperson of the National Commission of Women admitted that the law is misused but rejected this as a ground for dilution The parallel with the RTI

Kagro in the Morning - August 26, 2013
Greg Dworkin rounds up the overwhelming number of underwhelming primary challengers Lindsey Graham has drawn, EJ Dionne's "Armageddon Caucus," and the addition of Newtown's leading names to the effort to get Starbucks to change its gun policy. Greg's segment raised the question of where to draw the line between stubborn obstructionism and patient movement building. Today's unbelievably wacky GunFAIL story: an elderly man who sneezed so hard he shot himself. The abstract of a 1998 research paper tells us the relative odds of unintended (and bad) outcomes from keeping a gun at home, versus the intended, self-defense outcome. And it's not good. Which is probably why the NRA worked so hard to ban such research. Speaking, as we were earlier, of long-term fights, Justice Ginsburg opens up about conservative judicial activism on the Supreme Court. A whole bunch of new top level domains are scheduled to come online soon, and totally ruin the Internet. The Guardian reports that the NSA paid millions to tech companies to cover the costs of PRISM compliance. And a WSJ blog reports that NSA operatives were spying on ex-wives, love interests and the like. Great! And FDL says Jeffrey Toobin's a bit of a hypocrite in his screeching about Snowden.

Indianz.Com > Report finds lax safety measures at BIA schools
Report finds lax safety measures at BIA schools
The Bureau of Indian Affairs has put Indian students at risk by hiring people with violent criminal backgrounds to work at schools, an internal investigation concluded.
An audit by the Department of Interior's inspector general found that the BIA's screening process for education workers was flawed. Employees were hired before their background checks were completed and were allowed to remain on the job even when criminal offenses were discovered, investigators said.
The report acknowledges that only a small percentage of employees are deemed unsuitable to work at the 185 schools and dormitories that make up the BIA system. "However, the BIA's background investigation process allows those few unsuitable individuals to be hired and possibly have contact with Indian children," the audit stated.
Investigators identified three general problems with the BIA's screening process. The BIA hired employees without timely initiation of local law enforcement checks and hired employees before FBI checks were completed, the report stated.
Also, the audit determined, there is "insufficient accountability" within the BIA to ensure that background checks are completed and that unsuitable people are removed promptly.
Investigators cited some specific instances in which the process failed. "We concluded that BIA's background investigation process is not sufficient to prevent Indian children from potentially being in danger," the report stated.
In one example, a living assistant was hired to work at a dormitory in New Mexico without the required local law enforcement check. The assistant remained on the job for 17 months before BIA discovered the person had 26 offenses including battery and endangering the welfare of a minor.
Yet the assistant was allowed to stay on that job for five more months before a final decision to transfer the person was made, the report stated.
In another case, an education aide in New Mexico was hired before an FBI check was completed. When the check was finally completed seven months later, it showed a battery and child endangerment conviction. The employee wasn't removed for seven more months, the report said.
The inspector general completed its draft audit in October 2003 but the final report wasn't made public until this month. A March 5 letter from a regional audit manager said the BIA had until April 9 to respond to some outstanding issues.
In a December 31, 2003, letter, the BIA said it was "committed to ensuring the safety and well-being of the children we service." Woodrow Hopper, who was acting principal deputy assistant secretary at the time, cited "significant improvements" in the screening of applicants and employees at BIA schools.
One change was the establishment of a security office within the Office of Indian Education Programs. The recent reorganization of the BIA also put the Office of Law Enforcement Services in charge of all security and screening issues.
In response to the report, the BIA agreed to stop hiring employees until after the FBI check is completed. But the inspector general said it had no way of ensuring whether this change is being implemented.
The BIA did not agree with a recommendation regarding who initiates local law enforcement checks. The report called for this duty to be taken away from each school and transferred to the security office.
BIA instead suggested to have each school work with the security office, citing the lengthy and costly process. The inspector general said it considers this issue unresolved.
About 48,000 students attend BIA schools throughout the nation.

French-born, London-based graphic artist Jean Jullien has an iconic, inky illustration style.
Originally from Nantes, Jean Jullien studied for his degree in graphic design in Quimper, before moving to London to continue his studies first at Central Saint Martins and then the Royal College of Art. Since then, Jean has become prolific, internationally known for creating an impressive and ever-expanding portfolio of work.
Jean’s lengthly client list includes the likes of Channel 4, Tate, The New Yorker, Nike, It’s Nice That and BMW to name just a few. His success is now affording him with more creative freedom than many artists ever have the luxury of enjoying.
A mural from Jean’s show in Bangkok
Some of Jean’s most exciting work has come in the form of illustrative sculptures. Earlier in the year his exhibition in Bangkok included a huge lightbulb-headed man, alongside a range of colourful murals. When speaking to Creative Review Jean is quoted as saying they’re the most challenging.
“I love working in public spaces because I find it to be the most militant way to do graphics. I’ve always thought that it was somehow a bit too comfortable to create art for the art knowledgable crowds only. Presenting work to a large audience is very challenging. You have to strip your work of certain characteristics and create something universal, without losing yourself in it.”
Jean Jullien (As quoted in
And this isn’t the only unusual project Jean has been a part of this year. Other commissions have included clothing and toys released in collaboration with NOUNOU, a range of quirky illustrated labels for Majestic Wines, and 8 steel sculptures exhibited in Berlin.
Face Toy designed by Jean Jullien
Collaboration is a theme throughout Jean’s career. In 2011, he co-founded movie making studio The Jullien Brothers with his brother Nicolas Jullien. Nicolas is a director, animator and electronic musician. Combining Jean’s iconic inky illustration style with Nicolas’s musical know-how, the pair tell intriguing stories through moving imagery.
Whether working collaboratively or on his own, Jean Jullien’s work always presents something fresh and enticing. From moving images on screens to (slightly more stationary) sculptures. As ever, we are looking forward to seeing what he conjures up next!

Parco Dora
Landscape Architecture: Latz + Partner
Team Members: Latz + Partner, STS S.p.A., Bologna, Ing. V. Cappato, Turin, Arch. C. Pession, Turin, U. Marano; Cetara, Pfarré Lighting Design
Location: Turin, Italy
Design year: 2004
Year of construction: 2004 – 2012
Area: 37 hectares
Just opposite the Olympic village and near the town centre of Torino formerly devastated spaces will be transformed into a large city park. The area is characterised by industrial monuments worth to be preserved as well as by the river Dora, that in the scope of the project „Torino, Città d‘Acqua” should be rediscovered for the city. Main themes of the project are the connections to the bordering quarters and the development of the new banks along the re-opened waterway.

Ingest is the narrowest area of the park with the most design input. At the uppermost level carefully designed squares and promenades link into the adjacent builtup areas and form the entrance points in the west of the park. Ramps and steps along six-metre high walls lead to the southern part, which offers space for many different activities as well as contemplation. The impressive substructure of the former laminating works was transformed into water gardens and the gutted building into a “hortus conclusus”, which screens the park from the road. A line of imposing steel columns supports the elevated walkway that leads across Via Borgaro to Vitali in the centre of the park. The elevated viewpoint reveals the harmonious interplay of sacred and industrial architecture – the seven towers, the industrial chimney that was transformed into the campanile at the new Santo Volto church by Mario Botta and the tall steel columns at Vitali.
Vitali and Corso Mortara

The huge structure of the hall at the former Vitali steel mill forms the fascinating and vibrant centre of the park. After the outer skin and large sections of the roof had been dismantled, the 30-metre high red steel columns now look like a “futuristic jungle”. Lush vegetation and public life have taken over this artificial environment, the vast concrete towers and foundations are being turned into fantastic playgrounds. The section of the hall that still has a roof has become a sheltered multi-functional event space. In the north, the grid of the columns extends towards a large meadow with the trunks of flowering trees. The space within the park is contained by the wall of the new road tunnel. A broad promenade with pergolas and tree canopies links across it to the adjacent residential area. Not only does it provide a pleasant environment but also offers exceptional views of the landscape that has developed since the demise of the industries. The Passerella crosses the steel heart of the park from the west, traverses the adjoining meadows and leads to the new “city balcony“. A wide ramp with tree planting along the tunnel wall connects the two levels of the park which are flanked by the impressive Vitali cooling towers. The towers and the slurry basins now hold clean water. They are part of the stormwater management system that collects rainwater from roofs and surfaces in open rills and channels, and stores it in pools and cisterns. A light installation projects the play of the waves onto the walls of the towers. Night-time illuminations turn the industrial monuments into widely visible landmarks and create a mysterious new world on the inside. The lower level of the “blue hall” is softly lit, light bands follow the walkway and trace the outline of the former hall.

The site of the former Michelin plant is developed into a spacious meadow park that is characterised by its landscape and topography. A newly constructed tidal pool opens up the edge of the Dora; the excavation material is used in a sheltering earth sculpture towards the road and the buildings. A path along the river allows access to the water, steel bridges cross the pool and link up with a footbridge to Vitali on the opposite bank. Rows of different tree species are planted on the shallow slopes of the earth sculpture where they provide shadow. A “high route” follows the crest and offers views of Ingest and Vitali, as well as impressive vistas to the Superga pilgrimage church in the east and the Alps in the west. The widely visible landmark of the cooling towers in the south-west of the park will become a walk-in light and sound sculpture.
Valdocco
In Valdocco, the Fiat steel works extended over the entire site as well as across the river. A concrete slab covering three-quarters of this section of the park is all that remained. The solid slab will be removed above the Dora, but the river kept in its concrete bed. Water rises out of darkness into the light of day and flows through the pierced wall, like through a wild gorge. The opened up water course is flanked by walled-in promenades. On the terraces, which have been constructed with excavation material on both sides of the river, hundreds of trees are reminiscent of the grid of the former buildings. Their canopies provide shady spaces for diverse activities, and the tranquil setting creates the perfect backdrop for the “technical ravine” of the freed water course. Walkways erected on the old substructure connect the north of Valdocco with the south. The southern section of Valdocco was completed in 2011 and, in line with the Kyoto Protocol, implemented carbon neutrally (“impatto zero”).

With just your heart and your mind, you could be driving driving home listening to the latest episode of the show!
After an unexpected two week break, we’re back with the second to last song for the Hounds of Love album. Hello Earth is the climax of the album, a shifting, ethereal piece that was written to evoke exactly what the subject is: drifting above the earth and watching yourself as you either fall asleep and die, or are rescued (depending on your interpretation of the ending of this story to come next week in The Morning Fog).
To discuss this song this week, we have two major fans (not just our host!). Paul Tate is a Kate superfan from Atlanta, Georgia who has been on the show previously to talk about Kate’s song structures and chord progressions. Zoey P is a regular contributer and friend of the show from New York City who counts Hello Earth as one of her top favorite Kate Bush songs.
So are you ready to go floating above the earth?

Time to go running up that hill from the hounds of love under the big sky while mother stands for comfort as we’re cloudbusting, daddy. It’s Hounds of Love, Kate Bush’s best-selling fifth album, and the work that many consider her masterpiece! Hounds of Love was the first of Kate’s albums to be recorded in her home studio among her family and friends and away from the prying eyes of the record company. This convivial atmosphere comes through in these songs, many of which are held up as classics in the Kate Bush canon (Running Up That Hill, Cloudbusting, the title track).
To discuss this wildly popular album with Cecilee is Zoey from New York, a familiar voice on the show! They discuss the way Hounds of Love was recorded. The singles. Ranking their favorite songs. And also a deep delve into speculating why Hounds of Love is considered Kate’s best album by so many. It’s all here, then next week, we get to go running up that hill to make a deal with God!

Unlike Kate in this song, we will let you in to show you all about the clattering and downright scary Get Out of My House, the last album track on The Dreaming. And what a closer this is! If you thought Breathing from the last album was epic, this one is even more so!
To discuss this song, we have two super fans: Richard Campbell from Toronto, Canada, a fan who was last on the show to talk about In Search of Peter Pan. Rick talks about his history with this song and what it was like to listen to The Dreaming when it was first released in the 80s and how forward-thinking Kate was in her production techniques in this song. Rick also discusses how much this song reminds him of the 60s movie The Haunting.
Super fan number two is Zoey P, for whom this song is an absolute favorite. Zoey digs into the theme and lyrics of this song and how it relates to a woman’s experience of feeling invaded and violated, and how it ties into Kate’s own experiences as a very public figure who “had to prove [she] was an artist in a woman’s body.”

With Zoey, we get to talk about the feminist implications of Kate writing a song from Houdini’s wife’s point of view rather than Houdini himself, the symbolism of keys, and our favorite lyrical and vocal moments. With Luke, we talk about how strange the music is (that chord progression!) and dissect how he came up with his own piano/vocal version of Houdini by ear!

S04E08 – All The Love
http://kbcast.linkemedia.com/podcast-player/315/s04e08-all-the-love.mp3
This week’s song title may have the word “love” in it, but there doesn’t seem to be much love for this song. No discussion of it either on gaffa.org or….. much of anywhere!
Time to fix that!
Zoey P has joined us again for an extensive discussion of the album track All The Love, the eighth track from The Dreaming. This week, we’re talking about the theme of the song and how strangely relevant is it to our modern times (communication and letting people know how we really feel about them), the spooky song production, as well as trying to figure out who is who in the answering machine messages at the end of the song!
So let’s show this underrated gem a little love and dig into the song a bit. Maybe you’ll come away loving this song too! 🙂

Come with us on a hired plane, with no names mentioned, for a fun ride through the seventh track on The Dreaming, the Irish-tinged/power ballad hybrid Night of the Swallow. In one of our most enthusiastic episodes yet, we have our good friend of the show, Zoey P, for whom this is her ABSOLUTE FAVORITE Kate Bush song. And for Cecilee, this is her overall favorite on The Dreaming!
So, with two huge fans of this song, get ready for a very enthusiastic episode! We get to talk about the narrative structure of the song (a dialogue!!), its release as a single (but only in Ireland!), the instrumentation (uilleann pipes!), our favorite lyrical moments, and more!

S04E00 – The Dreaming Album Introduction
http://kbcast.linkemedia.com/podcast-player/265/s04e00-the-dreaming-album-introduction.mp3
Woohoo for the start of another album season! Welcome to the fourth season of the show, which will be all about the weirdly wonderful (and fan favorite) The Dreaming. Regarded by the artist herself as her “she’s gone mad” album, The Dreaming is the work of someone working in the explosive computer technology of the time to create her most dense and experimental work to date, her own self-contained world of darkness and deep exploration of human nature.
To discuss this album as a whole, we have a familiar voice on the show: Zoey from New York. Zoey and Cecilee both count The Dreaming as their favorite Kate Bush albums, so there is a LOT to say in this album introduction episode! There is the constant myth that The Dreaming is a warm-up to Hounds of Love. They also discuss how the album was received at the time and its impact on modern music. The cut-and-paste way it was recorded (revolutionary for 1982, commonplace in 2019). Who played on the album. And we rank our favorite songs from the album and why (despite it being a difficult task for both!).
It’s all here in this album discussion episode! Then next week, we’ll get to hear a fun discussion of the first track, and single, Sat In Your Lap.

Bonus: Cathy/Phoenix Demos
http://kbcast.linkemedia.com/podcast-player/257/bonus-cathy-phoenix-demos.mp3
This week, we’re not talking about just one song but rather a bunch of songs! Specifically, the sort of songs that Kate Bush doesn’t want us to hear, but which we’ve heard anyway.
This is the week of the Cathy/Phoenix Demos, which were recordings Kate made of her songs when she was a teenager before she became famous. The Cathy Demos refer to tape recordings made when Kate was probably about 15 (circa 1973) of some of her songs. These songs were going to be put out on a bootleg record in 1986, when Kate got wind of what was going on and stopped it from being released. However, they have leaked anyway (well, all but one song, Go Now While You Can).
Meanwhile, the Phoenix Demos refer to a group of almost two dozen previously unheard songs that a Phoenix, Arizona DJ and former EMI A&R man John Dixon played on the air in 1982. These songs were recorded around 1976, according to the tape reel he played that night, so Kate was a little older than those first Cathy demos in ’73. Either way, the songs have leaked and since the 80s, these songs have been endlessly bootlegged and have, of course, made their way to the Internet for an even wider audience to find.
Some of these demos even contain embryonic versions of songs that later made her albums (Violin, The Kick Inside, and Oh To Be In Love, to name a few). To talk about these little gems, we have a familiar voice, Zoey P, on the show. We go into the history of how these songs, which were recorded in the privacy of Kate’s home, were leaked to the general public and what we think of these recordings.
To listen to these demos, you can find them here. Also, check out Chris Kelley’s Kate Bush song-by-song blog, Dream of Orgonon, which you can find here.

S03E16 – Warm and Soothing

For a song that was probably meant, like The Empty Bullring, as a quick runthrough as she acclimated herself to a new studio, Kate sure came up with something beautiful and criminally underrated. This week, we’re discussing a b-side featuring just Kate and her piano, the flip of December Will Be Magic Again, called Warm and Soothing, a song that is anything but when you dig into the lyrics. Keep in mind that a young woman in her early twenties wrote a song like this about a fading love. How could this be?
Only Kate!
To discuss one of Kate’s most underrated songs, we have a familiar voice on the show this week: Zoey P, who also agrees that this song should be better known and admired. Listen as we analyze Kate’s gorgeous vocal performance, the way she stretches out words, the gorgeous, plaintive melody, and the intriguing lyrics. Another one in only a couple of songs Kate has ever released officially that feature just her piano and voice.
Warm and Soothing
S03E12 – The Empty Bullring
http://kbcast.linkemedia.com/podcast-player/208/s03e12-the-empty-bullring.mp3
After a short break, we’re back with a new song episode. So come disappear through a window and out of your mind into our discussion of The Empty Bullring, the first released non-album track of Kate’s career so far and the first b-side of this season.
The Empty Bullring was the b-side to Never For Ever‘s lead single Breathing. Compared with the proggy, densely produced atmosphere of the A-side, Bullring is rather simple in its production. Just Kate and her piano, spinning a tale of a man trying to prove himself when he doesn’t need to, all in less than two and a half minutes. Short and sweet indeed.
For this episode, we’re joined by a great friend of the show, Zoey, who puts this as one of her most underrated Kate Bush songs. Cecilee and Zoey discuss the theme of the song, the way Kate uses her voice and her always intriguing vocal stylings, and when this song may have been recorded.

SSUING OFFICER: Battalion Chief Steve Sabo
DATE OF INCIDENT: 8/2/2008
INCIDENT ADDRESS: 1313 N. Ruby St.
NARRATIVE: At 0630 this morning, Saturday August 2, 2008, the Spokane Fire Department responded to a reported fire in Sonic restaurant at 1313 N. Ruby. The first crews on scene reported a fire behind the fryer unit in the kitchen. The fire was quickly knocked down, and there was no fire extension to the structure. Damage was confined to the fryer unit, with minor smoke damage throughout the restaurant. Health officials were notified of the situation and are expected to conduct an inspection of the restaurant prior to the business resuming operation.
PROBABLE CAUSE: The cause of the fire was the fryer unit. Fire investigators have yet to determine whether the unit malfunctioned or whether there may have been maintenance problems.
DAMAGE EXTENT: Damage to the structure and contents is estimated to be $12,000.
DOLLAR LOSS: 12000
Posted by Bill Foss at 10:35 AM No comments: Links to this post
ISSUING OFFICER: Brian Schaeffer, Assistant Chief
INCIDENT ADDRESS: 502 East Cataldo
NARRATIVE: On Thursday July 31, 2008 at 11:10 AM (during the 722 Altamont Fire), six companies of Spokane Firefighters, 4 Engines and 2 Senior Ladders under the direction of Battalion Chief Hanna responded to a reported building fire at the Applied Sciences Building 502 East Cataldo on the Gonzaga Campus.
When Ladder 2 and Chief Hanna arrived, they were met by security and reported a 3-story commercial building with confirmed smoke in the basement. Companies were utilized to search and simultaneously evacuate the building while others located and extinguished the fire. The incident was placed under control in less than 30-minutes and no firefighters or civilians were injured during the event.
PROBABLE CAUSE: The origin of the fire was in basement mechanical room and cause was a electrical.
DAMAGE EXTENT: Damage was limited to the mechanical room and minor smoke odor/damage in the basement.
INCIDENT ADDRESS: 722 South Altamont
NARRATIVE: On Thursday July 31, 2008 at 9:55 AM, 6 Companies of Spokane Firefighters, 4 Engines, 1 Heavy Rescue, and 1-Senior Ladder under the direction of Battalion Chiefs Ken Kirsch and Joel Fielder responded to a reported Apartment Fire at 722 South Altamont. When the first company arrived, they reported heavy smoke and fire showing from the second floor of a multiple family, two-story townhome. Neighbors and Police nearby also told arriving firefighters that there were children missing. The Ladder company was immediately used to ventilate the roof and search for the missing children while Engine companies attempted to extinguish the fire from the second floor. Due to the fire's conditions and construction type, the alarm was also upgraded to a working fire which added an additional Engine, Senior Ladder and Pumper-Ladder. It took 33 Firefighters 45 minutes to locate and knock down the fire and control the incident. Firefighters were able to limit the damage to the second floor and attic areas of the building. All children were accounted for and were removed prior to the SFD's arrival by neighbors. A young child received moderate burn injuries from the fire and received treatment by SFD Paramedics, however refused transport by AMR. The child was reportedly transported by relatives to the hospital at the time of this release. No firefighters were injured as a result of the incident.
PROBABLE CAUSE: The origin of the fire was on the second floor balcony. The cause was an unsupervised 4-year old child playing with matches.
DAMAGE EXTENT: Damage is significant throughout the second floor. Structural integrity of the roof members and associated lightweight wood-frame structural members is in question. Re-occupancy is not possible without considerable clean up and construction.

Merghiny,Maltee & Waranda Photographic Roll of HonourPrint Page
The Photographic Roll of Honour commemorates those from Merghiny, Maltee & Waranda who served in World War One.
August 17th. At the unveiling, by Mesdames R. P. Symonds and Zippel, of the Merghiny, Maltee and Waranda Well roll of honor, quite a large crowd attended. The day was a glorious one, and people's open-heartedness was fully in accord. The flower, lolly and produce stalls were nicely arranged, thanks to the ladies, and all did a roaring trade. The tree planting was ably carried out by the school committee, a tree being planted for each child, and also for each of the fallen heroes — the late G. Bartlett, O. Hunt and A. Woods, and, there being one tree over, it was planted for Pte. Phil. W. Symonds, who is a prisoner of war in Germany, with his left leg amputated. Special praise is due to two little Murat Bay girls, C. and M. Place, who, as Red Cross nurses, collected £4, also to little soldier boy Rex. Shilton, 6/4. Thanks are also due to Mr Sedgley, who not only lent his piano, but carted it from Waranda to Merghiny. The evening enjoyment was enhanced by the singing and performing of the Merghiny school children, under the leadership of Miss Nykiel, also Messrs Dingle, Dufiield, Betts, Wedding and Symonds, for musical items, and Mr T. Barrett for a recitation. The Cheer-up Society are indebted to one and all for gifts, large or small, also to the ladies for catering for tea and supper. The proceeds will be about £35, which amount goes to the Red Cross, less expenses.

Esther (Bailer) Sisco Death Certificate
Dora Maude Hobart grew up with a loving mother and an abusively alchoholic father. Dora told daughter Esther (Bailer) Sisco, that when she and her siblings were young her father would make them place the straight backed dining room chairs in the room in a circle with the chairs facing inward. The children were required to sit there for hours and not be allowed to speak for reasons unknown, but perhaps because he simply required silence. As is typical of children, they figured out how to make a game of the circumstances by developing hand signals and jestures to communicate one with the other. Sometime after the year 1900 and at the age of fourteen, Dora's mother Mary (Tuffley) Hobart secreted Dora and her siblings away from their achoholic and emotional abusive father Dix to live at the home of Mary's father Henry Tuffley.
Living in the home of her grandfather, who was born in England influenced Dora's speech patterns. For example instead of saying "It was," she should would say "'Twas" and for "It is" was expressed as "'Tis."At 18 years of age, Dora who loved sewing had saved enough money to purchase a trendle sewing machine which is still in the possession of her grand-son Terry Sisco.
In 1910, as a 24 year-old Dora was living in Otisco, NY with the Newman family as a "servant" which most likely meant that she was tending to the Newman's three chidlren ages four and under along with houshold chores and duties. It was perhaps around this time in Otisco that Dora caught the eye of a shy Charles Bailer.On March 29, 1911 at 25 years old Dora married Charles in the home of her grandfather Henry. Then by May of 1911, Dora was expecting her first child. Ethel Bailer came into their lives on February 14, 1912 but the joy would be short lived as Ethel contracted erysipelis which, before the days of antibiotics could lead to death. Ethel died on July 14, 1912. Daughter Esther Bailer Sisco remembers Dora telling her of the bouts of depression that she would lapse into after the loss. Dora also suffered from excrutiating migraine headaches throughout her life.
After an unsuccessful attempt at farming in Otisco, Dora and Charles left the area of their childhood and support of their family close by to move to DuBois Street near the end of Chase Avenue, Hallstead, PA. Charles brother John Bailer had gotten a job working for the D, L, & W railroad as a laborer and urged Charles to follow. Charles and Dora were able to land the job of caretakers on the DuBois farm on Harmony Road, Hallstead. James Taylor T. DuBois (1851-1920) was born in Hallstead, Pa. He began his illustrious career as a Newspaper editor; He then began a career in government first as U.S. Commercial Agent (Consul) in Aux-la-Chapelle, 1877-81; U.S. Consul in Aix-la-Chapelle, 1881; Leipzig, 1884-85; U.S. Consul General in Saint Gall, 1897-1901; Singapore, 1909-11. He became the U.S. Minister to Columbia, 1911-13. He was a member of the Sons of the American Revolution dying May 27, 1920 at the age of 69 years. His burial location is unknown.Turning on to Harmony Road off Highway 11 in Hallstead, the farm is the first road on the right once and is the tract of land East of downtown Hallstead (Hwy 11), west of I-81, south of the Susquehanna river. The proprty at one time extended up the mountain behind the farm which was used for game hunting and contained a hunting lodge used by James Dubois and associates.
At some point in time prior to1943, Dora and Charles moved to the corner of Church Streets and Tannery in Great Bend, PA. The home is no longer there as the Great Bend Fire Department needed the location for extra parking. The home was burnt in a controlled setting and used for practicing fire fighting.Joe Scalzo and family lived next door to Dora in Great Bend and the grandchildren were not permitted to speak to any of the Scalzo kids as she had an ongoing feud with Joe about his "junk yard." The house contained a wood burning stove for cooking and heating. The back porch was always stacked with wood for the stove. Even though they eventually purchase a gas stove, Dora and Charles preference was the wood stove.Dora was a the dominant personality in the marriage. For example, she wouldn't let Charles drive the car because he had a "heavy foot" meaning that he drove too fast. Later in life, Dora's eyesight got bad with glaucoma and cataracts. This was before the days of eye surgery and the only relief was to place drops of medicine in the eyes.
They were poor and relied on government subsidies. Grandson Terry Sisco fondly remembers how wonderful it was to eat peanut butter at their home. It came in a large tin that used a "key" to open. There was a heavy layer of peanut oil on the surface that had to be mixed into the peanut butter. He didn't realize until he was older that it was government surplus peanutbutter. At Christmas the Hobarts would enjoy English pudding.

Rush To Donate Funds for Fellow Canadian Musicians in Need
With Rush about to play a number of shows in Canada during July, the band have just announced that they will donate $1 from every ticket sale from five of those Canadian dates to benefit the Unison Benevolent Fund:
Long known for their support of various philanthropic causes, Rush have generously offered to support Unison by donating $1 from each ticket sold at 5 of their upcoming Canadian dates.
Those dates are:
July 6 Hamilton, Ontario - Copp's Coliseum
July 12 & 14 Halifax, Nova Scotia - Metro Centre
July 24 Calgary, Alberta - Scotiabank Saddledome
July 26 Vancouver, British Columbia - Pepsi Live at Rogers Arena
The Unison Benevolent Fund is a non-profit charitable organization that provides counselling, emergency relief, and benefit programs for those in the Canadian music community who face personal or professional challenges due to hardship, illness, unemployment or economic difficulties.
Whether it’s a favourite song or an album by a treasured artist, music impacts our lives. Every recording and show requires an invisible network of professionals working collectively to create all the music that is important to you. The majority of this team are self-employed or freelance contractors. They usually live without the support of a safety net and when a crisis occurs its impact can be devastating. Thanks to Rush, Unison will change that.

Blade Dash on IOS. Aka Flappy Dash.
It's arcade style runner. You can jump, double jump, and stab. Enemies keep coming at you in waves of 10. After 10, a new enemy type can come out or "Unlock", and you never know what's coming because it can be anything unlocked. Your goal is to kill/clear as many enemies as you can without dying. You have 3 hit points to start. You can get more every 4 or 5 cleared waves.
The game is all about reflexes and knowing how to kill each specific enemy. It's a blast! Way more fun than it sounds. Quick and casual too, which I enjoy.

E. V. O. For the snes
^What kind of game is it?
Postby Azealdread » Mon May 02, 2016 2:48 am
From the wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E.V.O.:_Search_for_Eden
"E.V.O. is a side-scrolling platformer action game where players must navigate a creature of their own design across a number of environments resembling Earth's past.[1] The game is divided into five distinct geological periods: the Cambrian Period and the Ordovician Period of the Paleozoic Era ("The World Before Land") from 500 million years ago to 450 million years ago, then the Carboniferous period ("Early Creatures of Land"), the Mesozoic Era ("Age of Dinosaurs"), the late Neogene period ("Ice Age"), and finally the early Quaternary period ("Early Man"). Each period has its own map screen, which is divided into various levels.[2] While each era takes historical liberties with both its inhabitants and time frames, the player's choices for evolution are dependent on the current era of play, ranging from aquatic bodies during the Age of Fish to mammalian physiology during the Age of Man.[3] During the first two eras you are forced to gain a new body to progress, but once you reach the Age of Dinosaurs, a side quest will give you the option to remain as a reptile, or become a bird, gaining the ability of flight. As you enter the Ice Age as a bird or reptile, you are immediately given the option to become a mammal. You can finish the game as a reptile, bird, or mammal and the outcome is still the same, only the interaction dialogue is affected by your choices.
As the player progresses through each level, other organisms are encountered who must be confronted by biting, ramming them with horns, or jumping on them until they are defeated. Defeated enemies leave behind meat which the player can consume to grant them "evolution points" used towards upgrading specific body parts.[4] The body of the character controlled by the player is divided into eight sections which can be upgraded by spending evolution points, making them stronger as well as changing their appearance. New abilities such as tail swings, greater jumping ability and increased movement speed can also be obtained through evolution.[3]
During gameplay, the player will also encounter crystals that either display hints and tips, grant large amounts of Evolution Points or transform their character into a unique body for a limited time.[5] As the player takes damage from enemy creatures, one may restore health at any time by either consuming the meat of their foes, eating nearby plant life, or by undergoing selective evolution. At the end of each level, the player must face a stronger boss character in order to progress, requiring much more effort to defeat than a typical foe. There is no game over mechanism, if the player's character loses all their health points the player is revived by Gaia and sent back to the game's map screen with a deduction of roughly half of their Evolution Points.[6] The game utilizes a built-in battery backup save system for storing game data. The player may record progress directly to the cartridge to be continued at another time, and store up to fifty previously created creatures using the game's built-in "Book of Life" feature.[6] Creatures stored in this index have the option to be recalled at any time when the player encounters special crystals during the quest."[/spoiler]

That sounds really interesting! I'll try it on my emulator this week. I've never heard of it.
My other recommends are Pinball FX 2, if you're into casual games. (Pinball + power ups + quests/mission events + boss fights) X MULTIPKE FRANCHISES = genius glory tine had by all.
Super Puzzle Fighter 2: Turbo - Think of Tetris and Puyo puyo (or Dr. Robotniks Mean Bean Machine) and Dr. Mario. Gems of 4 colors drop on your half of the screen. Arrange them so that the colors of the same type form squares or rectangles i.e., 2x2, 3x3, 3x5 rows of all the same color. Corresponding color orbs drop down that smash these gems and send them to the other side in the form of a color counter block. Bonus counters sent based on the rows/how big the squares/rectangles of that color gem you smashed. Color counters have a number in a color on them. You can only destroy counters by destroying gens that touch them. When the counter hits 0 (goes down by 1 every time you land a gem in your okay area) it turns in to that color gem. This fane is a ton of fun and I can't get enough of it.

I love FTL. I've beaten it a few times, but only on easy. You want to start by focusing on upgrading your shields and worry about firepower once you have 3 shields. On easy you get more scrap so you want to visit as many nodes on the map as possible before jumping to the next sector. From there it's a min/max game for scrap and of course the actual gameplay. In the game, focusing enemy shield and weapon systems is what I usually do and if they try to escape, shoot the engine or pilot. The final boss is really tough and has three stages. I've died more times than I care to count on the third stage because I didn't prepare quite well enough. The game also has a killer soundtrack.
I'm a big fan of roguelikes and FTL is one of the best. There's also Spelunky, The Binding of Isaac, Risk of Rain, and Crypt of the Necrodancer to name a few of my favorites.

Vendian-Cambrian subsidence of the passive margin of western Baltica- application of new stratigraphic data from the Scandinavian Caledonian margin
Reinhard O. Greiling Sören Jensen Alan G. Smith
Stratigraphic information from the Neoproterozoic to Cambrian cover sequences at the Caledonian margin in central Scandinavia has been compiled from the literature and our own data. Four flooding events can be recognized in the autochthonous cover rocks and parts of the eastern Caledonian Lower Allochthon: one, at the base of the Vendian at 590 Ma, two Early Cambrian events (540 and 530 Ma), and the fourth at the base of the Mid Cambrian and the alum shales (5 18 Ma). Stratigraphic successions of the western Baltica margin from northern Sweden to southem Norway are correlated using these flooding events. Based on these correlations, depth and time sections are constructed and subsidence curves calculated. Although Early Cambrian flooding events lead to temporarily higher sedimentation rates, the subsidence appears to have decreased through time. Such a decrease is consistent with models of lithospheric stretching and subsequent thermal subsidence. A review of available age data on tectonic events suggests a transition from continental rifting to ocean-floor formation off western Baltica at ca. 600 Ma ago. Accordingly, the Vendian to Cambrian evolution of the western Baltica continental margin is interpreted as a stage of post-rift subsidence showing the 'steer's head' geometry characteristic of sequences onlapping from an older wne of active rifting and of ocean-floor forrnation farther west. The gradual decrease in therma! subsidence through Cambrian time also shows that the Baltica lithosphere was essentially thermally re-equilibrated prior to earliest Caledonian tectonic activity in Early Ordovician time.

Here is my older Legacy Blog "Louisiana Melancholic" streaming below:
Edison's Hired Movie Thugs, Buffalo Bill as First Movie Star and Other Trivia - From the very start, the advent of cinema had created a byproduct, that of creating famous entities. Ages before Eastern Syndicate writers like Walter Win...
SF Movies and Gravity, or the Lack Thereof
In “It, the Terror from Beyond Space” (s. Jerome Bixby), early on in the movie a crewmember is cheerfully pouring steaming hot coffee into the coffee cups of the crew on a sleek cylindrical spaceship which has several ‘decks’ and there is no explanation of how gravity is explained in any way.
But maybe that is good because in a lot of these old movies they make it a science lesson with every move they make (in ”Destination Moon” there is a Woody Woodpecker cartoon shown to prospective big wheeler-dealers to explain how rocket propulsion works), explaining why they do this or do that, usually to some guy from Brooklyn in the crew that keeps mentioning the Brooklyn Dodgers..
Many SF movies do the same thing: “Forbidden Planet,” the redoubtable “Angry Red Planet,” “Rocketship X-M,” the Flash Gordon serials, Star Trek, Lost in Space, almost any SF movie or TV show, and Star Wars.
In Heinlein’s “Destination Moon” and others, like “Flight to Mars they explain about why one has to be strapped in so as ‘not to float’ on the nuclear-powered ship run on steam thrust.
Also done in the Willy Ley inspired ”Conquest of Space” (p. George Pal) but the movie goes as step further as the Earth-orbiting space station revolves and spins to create artificial gravity.
It was not until “2001: A Space Odyssey” that there was an actual rotating living quarters on a ship that generated some centrifugal force to create artificial gravity, and again in the sequel, “2010.”
Even in “Alien” there is no explanation for the induced gravity in the ship. In the Star Trek movies they finally explained it all with convenient Anti-Gravity devices.In H.G. Wells “The First Men in the Moon” there is a “Cavorite” substance which works the same way. .
In many spaceships in older movies there is no space below to account for the mechanics that make the ship run. If you ever look at a V-2 rocket diagram you’ll see Werner Von Braun’s genius apparatus that made it go. Look what it took for the Apollo missions.
In very ‘cheap’ movies you’ll see the gangplank to get into the ship is at the very bottom of the ship. In Jules Verne’s “From the Earth to the Moon” the ship is just a large bullet but we realize that shooting a large manned projectile is essentially “Spam in a Can” to anyone within the projectile..
In James Blish’s novels he came up with this: SpinDizzy: A device that made use of a relationship between electron spin, electromagnetism and gravity allowed any object to leave the Earth’s surface. ;.Famed Astounding Editor John W. Campbell, Jr was big on the Dean Drive, which did not work. He was obviously a legend as an SF editor. He often talked about Scientology and Psionics as well. The Dean Drive:
The Dean drive was a device created and promoted by inventor Norman Lomer Dean (1902–1972) that he claimed to be a reactionless drive.[1] Dean claimed that his device was able to generate a uni-directional force in free space, in violation of Newton's third law of motionfrom classical physics. His claims generated notoriety because, if true, such a device would have had enormous applications, completely changing human transport, engineering, space travel and more.[2] Dean made several controlled private demonstrations of a number of different devices, however no working models were ever demonstrated publicly or subjected to independent analysis and Dean never presented any rigorous theoretical basis for their operation. Analysts conclude that the motion seen in Dean's device demonstrations was likely reliant on unsymmetrical frictional resistance between the device and the surface on which the device was set, resulting in the device moving in one direction when in operation, driven by the vibrations of the apparatus
Woodward effect. A reactionless thruster would have many practical applications, including the propulsion of spacecraft. According to Dean, his drive is a reactionless thruster, and his models were able to demonstrate this effect. He received two patents for related devices that are known to be unable to generate a uni-directional force, but he occasionally demonstrated devices that were different. Dean’s claims of reactionless thrust generation have subsequently been shown to be in error; the thrust generated is understood to be reliant on friction with the surface on which the device is resting. .
Sidenote: I read that Phil Dick sent him a lot of stories but that Campbell thought that PKD was ‘insane,’ just plain crazy. That is, his stories were so far-fetched that he did not understand them. So he never bought anything by PKD. .
I wrote a short story about twenty years ago called ”Jimbob Goes to Mars” which essentially took from Steinbeck’s ”The Grapes of Wrath” about how one of the Joad boys had ‘a certain way of knowin’ about engines and trucks and could just fix ‘em’. I just applied that to rockets and had pimple-faced Jim-bob Johnson offworld on Io applying the courses of a Dr. Biddle, etc. .
I’ve also left out here 99 percent of what is left to talk about propulsion in literature or reality, star drives or ion drives or fusion drives. When I was a kid in all our Encyclopedias they had diagrams of potential moon shots and potential Mars shots and how we would get there. I never did outgrow the sense of wonder about the way we could get to a destination in space. I remember reading books on how to build a Moonbase, whether to dig out a vast pit on the surface and cover it, hence the base is completed.
When I was a kid I realized while watching enough space launches that certain things in science fiction movies were taken for granted and there is not much verisimitude. I just know that Nasa astronauts don’t talk much about the Brooklyn Dodgers while inflight.

healthcare falls short, become your own healthcare advocate
"True health and the ability to live with one's whole being can best be attained by those who become their own natural health practitioner of first resort.
The pathway to true health is full of twists and turns which require continuous counterbalancing shifts in therapeutic tactics that only the person him- or herself is in a position to facilitate.
Certainly there may be occassions when one will require the services of a professional health-care practitioner. However, the degree of benefit one derives from those services will be depend in large part by an individual's own level of healing knowledge and skills and his or her commitment to the path toward total wellness." Dr. Bruce Berkowsky
U.S. healthcare falls short in survey of 7 nations By Maggie Fox
Americans spend double what people in other industrialized countries do on health care, but have more trouble seeing doctors, are the victims of more errors and go without treatment more often, according to a report released on Thursday.
Patients in the Netherlands struggle the most with paperwork, while British and Canadian citizens wait the longest for elective surgery, the Commonwealth Fund reports in the journal Health Affairs.
The report, published on the Internet at http://content.healthaffairs.org/cgi/content/abstract/26/6/w7 17T , provides an annual comparison from the Commonwealth Fund, a private foundation that supports research on health systems.
This year it may be especially important as the 2008 U.S. elections are featuring health care reform as one of the most important issues, fund president Karen Davis said.
"The survey shows that in the U.S., we pay the price for having a fragmented health care system," Davis told reporters in a telephone briefing.
Harris Interactive researchers surveyed 12,000 adults in the United States, Britain, Germany, Netherlands, Canada, New Zealand and Australia. Of these, only the United States lacks a universal health care system.
The report said Americans spent $6,697 per capita on healthcare in 2005, or 16 percent of gross domestic product. All the other countries spent less than half of that -- $3,128 in Australia or 9.5 percent of GDP, $3,326 in Canada or 9.8 percent of GDP, down to a low of $2,343 in New Zealand or 9 percent of GDP.
Davis said the Netherlands is included for the first time and is interesting because of its mix of mandated employer-sponsored, private and public insurance.
STANDING OUT BUT NOT OUTSTANDING
The report found that the United States stands out because of its expense and people's dissatisfaction.
"The thing that struck me in this survey is the trouble that Americans have in getting to see their own doctors," Davis said. Americans and Canadians often go to emergency departments for what should be routine care, the survey found.
"As in previous surveys, U.S. adults were most likely to have gone without care because of cost and to have high out-of-pocket costs," the report reads.
"In the U.S., nearly two of five (37 percent) of all adults and 42 percent of those with chronic conditions had skipped medications, not seen a doctor when sick, or foregone recommended care in the past year because of costs -- rates well above all other countries," it adds.
"In contrast to the U.S., patients in Canada, the Netherlands, and the U.K. rarely report having to forgo needed medical care because of costs."
Patients in New Zealand and Britain had the least confidence of getting top-notch care.
German and U.S. adults had the quickest access to elective surgery. "In most countries, waits of a year or more were rare; in Canada and the United Kingdom, though, 8 percent reported waiting that long, and 15 percent reported waiting six months or more for elective surgery," the report reads.
Having a "medical home" -- such as an easily reached primary care doctor who coordinates other care -- seemed to provide the most satisfaction, said Commonwealth vice president Cathy Schoen, who led the study.

Movie financing , the credit crunch, and "The Hobbit"

Movie financing , the credit crunch, and "The Hobbit" Can't Post
Apparently financing for "The Hobbit" movie is affected by the current credit crunch and turmoil in the financial markets, not to mention financing for other upcoming high-profile projects like the next James Bond and Terminator flicks:

MGM? [In reply to] Can't Post
The studio in question is MGM: The movies on the list include "The Hobbit" and the next installments in both the Terminator and James Bond sagas.
As far as we know, MGM isn't involved in The Hobbit at this point - and won't be until New Line's option runs out (whenever that may be). If MGM really does have The Hobbit on its list right now, maybe things have been happening that we haven't heard about?
...and the sails were drawn up, and the wind blew,
and slowly the ship slipped away down the long grey firth;
and the light of the glass of Galadriel that Frodo bore
glimmered and was lost.
Well, they do have the distribution rights, after it's been made... [In reply to] Can't Post
and it does take funds to distribute it. But hopefully, by the time it's been made MGM will be in a better position to fund it.
That's true [In reply to] Can't Post
I don't think that's where the big investment is needed though. Still, from what we've read, New Line lays off large chunks of its investments to its distributors, so maybe that's what this story is about.
Actually I can't see the credit crunch stopping obvious money-spinners like the movies they mention. It might allow other countries to get a bit of control over their own movie-making for a change, though. I've often wondered if that's what PJ's lawsuit was ultimately about - to break the stranglehold that Hollywood has over the world's film industry. America's current financial weakness may give other countries a chance.
Could be good news. [In reply to] Can't Post
Until someone can get the financing in the bank the clock on New Line's film rights keeps ticking. Then the rights revert to Zaentz, MGM still has the distribution rights, and neither of them have a problem with Jackson.
The audacious proposal stirred his heart. And the stirring became a song, and it mingled with the songs of Gil-galad and Celebrian, and with those of Feanor and Fingon. The song-weaving created a larger song, and then another, until suddenly it was as if a long forgotten memory woke and for one breathtaking moment the Music of the Ainur revealed itself in all glory. He opened his lips to sing and share this song. Then he realized that the others would not understand. Not even Mithrandir given his current state of mind. So he smiled and simply said "A diversion.�

is dropping fast too: Down from a high of 81c against the American dollar to 67.15 at the close of yesterday. If it keeps dropping (which will make the exporters happy, but will make commodities like petrol more expensive) then movie-making in NZ will become more affordable for overseas film makers.

It's just temporary. [In reply to] Can't Post
There won't really be any problems with mony, when it comes to The Hobbit. The minute New Line announces Jackson is on board they'll get the money, from the bank or not.
This financial dip is temporary and shouldn't worry a studio with a juicy project as The Hobbit.

I dont think it will be too much of a shake-up for the Studios or the Hobbit - they just need to be a bit more selective of which projects deserve the money - and they know the Hobbit would be well deserving of whatever funding it needs ... whenever it happens - and once they get Peter on board

Tom Cruise (UA/MGM) raises 500mill$ for 15-18 films over next 5 years ... [In reply to] Can't Post
Remember once there was a rumour about Tom Cruise being involved with the Hobbit ...
This article I thought interesting, because of the association with MGM, and also the recent financial talks ...
The article is here ... and is 2 page ... http://www.reuters.com/...dUSN1637815220070816
Written by By Bob Tourtellotte
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - United Artists, the film company run by actor Tom Cruise and Chief Executive Paula Wagner,
said on Thursday it raised $500 million through Merrill Lynch to fund 15 to 18 movies over the next five years.
Wagner called the financing "a milestone event" for United Artists, which was revived last year by Cruise, Wagner and their
studio partner, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Inc.
"It leaves us perfectly poised to realize our vision of making movies that are both important and commercial," Wagner said
in a statement.
Financial details were not disclosed.
One of Hollywood's biggest box office draws, Cruise has starred in blockbusters like "Mission: Impossible" and Oscar contenders
such as "Jerry Maguire."
But last year, Cruise's long-time studio partner Paramount Pictures cut its ties to Cruise and Wagner following the release of
"Mission: Impossible III" -- an international hit with $264 million at overseas box offices, but only a modest success with $134 million
in U.S. and Canadian ticket sales.
Cruise and Wagner went to Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer where they partnered with the studio behind the James Bond movies to revive
United Artists.
Separately, a Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer spokesman refuted a published report that Goldman Sachs and Deutsche Bank had withdrawn from underwriting $1 billion in financing for MGM.
MGM's Jeff Pryor said the studio never had a firm deal with Goldman Sachs or Deutsche Bank, so there was never a commitment from which to withdraw. Continued...

Sloans comments mentioning the Hobbit (ToRN homepage article) [In reply to] Can't Post
Following the article on the ToRN Homepage: MGM, UA face Manic Money Day (headsup by Xoanon)
Sloan has actually included the word 'Hobbit' in relation to the funding news
From the Variety Article
http://www.variety.com/...tegoryid=13&cs=1
However, MGM CEO Harry Sloan said Goldman Sachs' move -- or any delay in the franchise fund -- would not impact the movies it has in the works, including "The Hobbit," a co-production with New Line, or the next installment with the Bond franchise, which it is cofinancing with Sony.
"No MGM property will wait for a film (finance) slate," Sloan said.
Of course, MGM's future possible tentpoles have issues of their own. "The Hobbit" has been locked in a battle
between Peter Jackson and New Line, while legal wranglings have been holding up "Terminator 4."
Sloan said that the Lion was waiting until the UA deal closed before moving forward on the MGM franchise film fund, which he
says the company will offer at a later date.
So the Hobbit is 'in the works' ? If it is the wheels of industry are turning very slowly - the name seems to be thrown round alot, but
nothing concrete.
I'm being a might picky with words - but the Hobbit is 'locked' in a battle?
Is that why they really do need Peter on board - there is some conditional or contractual association between the Hobbit and Peter which
has been in place? and why there has been much talk about the movie, but nothing happening?
There seems to be a run of coincidences lately about the Hobbit - but, like the Shire - everything takes its time - no rush it seems
It would make a bit of sense as to why there's no Hobbit Movie commitment as such yet, and the recent 'talks' with Peter
- Raimis hesitancy to comment on his association and New Lines predicaments.
Presently its all just speculation I guess
On a side note.... [In reply to] Can't Post
Can somebody explain some general facts aobut Hollywood finance for me?
1) New Line made more than 3 BILLION dollats out of the LOTR franchise...and that was just from international box office alone, not counting the ancillary revenue...DVDS, toys, etc. WHAT the heck did they do with all that money in just 4 yrs that they are again broke? I know that films nowadays are more exoensive to make and to market, the average tnepole now cositng maybe 200-250 million to make and market, but still, NL is one of the smaller studios, I can understand how someone like Warner's can blow through all that cash, but it'snot like NL is making 10 tentpoles a year!
2)Why has it become necessary in recent years for Hollywood to abandon its traditional methods of finance and go for this questionable "credit"finacing or whatever it is--or some studios anyway. Exactly when did traditional investorsbegin to lose confidence in Hollyowwd and why? Is it soecifically because of the rising costs in marketing a film, or diminshing returns on investments relative to cost? And traditionally how ere Hollywood films financed?
3)What is "creative accounting"? Someone explained this to me once and I think I know the basics, but why is it used so frequently, besids the usual thrist to wring the last buck from an investment.
4)Just how important is Hollywood to the financial health of the country really? Now that we basically outsourced our manufacturing capacity to China the last 15 yrs, (to the point where I wonder if, God forbid, we ever have a world war as nations go to open battle over the world's diminshing rescources, say, 30 yrs from now, which factories we are going to use to move to an all-out war capacity--you wonder why even now troops are being sent to battle in Iraq with shoddy equipement--and God help the soldier or journo who dares to ask why!) and the American economy basically revolves around the construction industry, building more and more homes and suburban sprawl (and no one will ever openly admit this), movies seem to be the only thing that the U.S. is still the global #1 in. Entertainment industry. The music biz is dying, due to tis own colossal stupidity. Hollywood hasn't sank that far yet, and God willing it never will. US willing,I should say.
So another question is I guess, how much of Hollywood is foreign-owned and financed (we were happy to let foreigners own our ports and comanies, etc?) Will they pull out if this gets worse? And how important is Hollywood to the country really?
PS Patty. [In reply to] Can't Post
LOL....and look how it turned out? I guess the Hobbit quest is like that of destroying the Ring...:)In another thread I said that every time George Lucas went to Tunisia tofilm scenes on Tatooine, without fail, a sandstorm would destroy the sets on the eve of filming. The first time this happened was in 1976 and the Lucas was devestated. Now, it happened even in 2004, and the crew freaked out. But Lucas said, "Oh don't worry, it's good luck." So I guess the turmoil surrounding the Hobbit is good because swirling studio politics seems to herald a great Tolkien adaptation! At least that's how I see it--(and hopefully PJ and crew do too!)

Hindi - Agyat Ki Aur - OSHO
Osho was born in Kuchwada, M.P. on 11th December, 1931. His parents Swami Devateertha Bharti and Ma Amrit Saraswati became his disciples in later years. He was enlightened at the age of 21 years on March 21, 1953, while he was studying philosophy at D.N. Jain College in Jabalpur. In 1956 Osho did M.A. from the University of Sagar with First Class Honors in Philosophy. He joined Sanskrit College, Raipur in 1957.
He was appointed Professor of Philosophy at the University of Jabalpur, in 1958, where He taught until 1966. During this period He traveled widely in India speaking to large audiences and challenging orthodox religious leaders in public debates.
After nine years of teaching, He left the university in 1966 for regular spiritual work. He started conducting intense ten-day meditation and Samadhi camps. At times He addressed gatherings of 20000 to 50000 people.
In July, 1970, He moved to Mumbai. By this time He came to be known as Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh. He started initiating seekers into Neo-Sannyas, which did not involve renouncing the world. This was a great revolutionary step since sannyas in all other traditions requires renunciation.
In 1974 He moved to Poona Ashram, where He gave 90 minutes discourses nearly every morning, alternating every month between
Hindi and English. He spoke on Yoga, Zen, Taoism, Tantra and Sufism covering masters like Gautam Buddha, Jesus, Lao Tzu, and other mystics. These discourses have been collected into over 300 volumes and translated into 20 languages. In the evenings, during these years, He gave Energy darshan and sannyas. And while explaining the sannyas names He unraveled many secrets of divine sound, divine light, and other dimensions of spiritualism. These evening talks are compiled in 64 darshan diaries of which 40 are published.
In March 1981, He moved to USA, where His disciples raised city of Rajneeshpuram from the ruins of the central Oregonian high desert. In October 1984 Osho ended His three and half years of self-imposed silence, and started speaking to small groups of people. In July 1985 He resumed His public discourses each morning to thousands of seekers gathered in a two-acre meditation hall.
On 14th September 1985 Osho's personal secretary Sheela and several members of the commune's management suddenly left after being exposed for their crimes. Osho invited law enforcement officials to investigate Sheela's crimes. The authorities, however, saw the investigation as a golden opportunity to destroy the commune entirely. But the authorities arrested Osho Himself without warrants, held Him without bail for twelve days, and subsequent events indicate that He was poisoned with the heavy metal thallium while in the jail. Finally He was fined $400,000 under a compromise deal and was deported from America. Among others, U.S. Attorney in Portland, Charles Turner, publicly conceded that the government was intent on destroying Rajneeshpuram.
During 1985 - 1986 He undertook a World Tour and visited many countries including Nepal, Greece, Uruguay, Jamaica and Portugal. In all, 21 countries denied Him entry or deported Him after arrival. On July 29,1986, He returned to Mumbai, India and shifted to the ashram in Poona, India, in January, 1987. During January-February 1989 He stopped using the name "Bhagwan," retaining only the name Rajneesh. Later He adopted ‘Osho’ as His new name. On 19th January 1990 Osho left His body saying “I leave you my dream." Different people interpreted His dream differently. Some started building large structures in His name. Some others considered Him last prophet and started propagating His spoken words. Oshodhara has assumed the responsibility of enhancing His spiritual work by guiding seekers from meditation to samadhi and enlightenment. Very few people know that core teaching of Osho is not the dynamic and other chaotic meditations, which He Himself asked to drop in later years, but is Omkar, like all other sages, Lord Krishna, Mahavir, Buddha, Jesus, Muhammad, Kabir, and Nanak. Osho continues to be controversial even after many years of leaving this planet.

UN Human Rights Rapporteur Reports on Mission to Kanaky (New Caledonia)
Statement by the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, James Anaya, upon concluding his visit to New Caledonia– 4 to 13 February 2011
Noumea, 13 February 2011
In my capacity as the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the rights of indigenous peoples, I have conducted a visit to New Caledonia from 4 to 13 February 2011. My visit offered me a unique opportunity to witness conditions relevant to my mandate and to consult with a wide range of stakeholders. I would like to thank the authorities of the Republic of France for their cooperation. I am also grateful to the Customary Senate for the assistance it has provided to me in the preparation and conduct of my visit.
The objective of my visit has been to hold consultations and receive information in order to examine the human rights situation of the indigenous people of the country – the Kanak people –while recognizing fully the history of New Caledonia. I have sought to understand the approaches that the Government of France as well as the Government of New Caledonia and the Kanak people have chosen in their efforts to progressively achieve a harmonious and productive coexistence among all sectors of the country's population, through implementation of the Noumea Accord of 1998.
I have had the opportunity to consult with the High Commissioner and other French officials, the President and ministers of the Government of New Caledonia, officials of the three Provinces, the members of the Customary Senate, and other customary authorities. I also wish to thank the representatives of numerous Kanak and non-governmental organizations, including trade unions and women, youth and environmental organizations that have provided information to me.
In addition to my meetings in Noumea, I traveled to the three provinces of the country. I visited authorities and members of indigenous communities in Kone, Thio, Saramea, Lifou and Ouvea. I also visited the detention centre in Noumea. I am grateful for the warm hospitality with which I have been received by Kanak customary authorities and their communities and by government authorities.
I am encouraged to learn of a consensus among stakeholders around the Noumea Accord, which provides a framework to transfer powers from France to New Caledonia institutions and allows for the possibility of full independence. I especially welcome the provisions of the Noumea Accord that promote the culture and customary institutions of the Kanak people as an integral part of social and political fabric of the country, as well as the provisions that provide a foundation for the many initiatives being taken to address the conditions of disadvantage that Kanak people face in all spheres of life. I note that the Noumea Accord can and should be interpreted in a manner fully consistent with the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. The Declaration complements the United Nations policy on decolonization.
During my visit I have learned of numerous steps to implement the Noumea Accord and related positive developments, but I have also learned of many challenges that remain. I have heard from Kanak authorities and members of indigenous communities repeated expressions of frustration about ongoing patterns of discrimination, limitations on the exercise of their customary rights, poor social and economic conditions, and lack of adequate participation in decisions affecting them in many respects.
In coming weeks I will evaluate the information I have gathered and meet with French authorities in Paris to further discuss the human rights situation of the Kanak people. Subsequently I will be developing a report with recommendations, and that report will be submitted to the United Nations Human Rights Council and made public. My expectation is that the report will contribute to further constructive dialogue with the governments of France and New Caledonia and with representatives of the Kanak people.
Déclaration à l'issue de visite en Nouvelle-Calédonie-4 à 13 Février 2011 13 February 2011
Déclaration du Rapporteur spécial des Nations Unies sur les droits des peuples autochtones, James Anaya, à l'issue de sa visite en Nouvelle-Calédonie-4 à 13 Février 2011
Nouméa, le 13 Février 2011
En ma qualité de Rapporteur Spécial des Nations Unies sur les droits des peuples autochtones, j'ai effectué une visite en Nouvelle-Calédonie du 4 au 13 Février 2011. Cette visite m'a offert une occasion unique de me rendre compte des réalités relevant de mon mandat et de consulter un large éventail de parties prenantes. Je tiens à remercier les autorités de la République de la France pour leur coopération. Je suis également reconnaissant au Sénat coutumier pour l'assistance fournie dans la préparation et le déroulement de ma visite.
L'objectif de ma visite a été de tenir des consultations et de recevoir des informations en vue d'examiner la situation des droits de l'homme des peuples autochtones du pays - le peuple Kanak- tout en tenant pleinement compte de l'histoire de la Nouvelle-Calédonie. J'ai cherché à comprendre les démarches retenues par le gouvernement de la France, le Gouvernement de la Nouvelle-Calédonie et le peuple kanak dans leur effort visant à parvenir progressivement à une coexistence harmonieuse et fructueuse entre toutes les composantes de la population du pays à travers la mise en œuvre de l'Accord de Nouméa de 1998.
J'ai eu l'occasion de m'entretenir avec le Haut Commissaire et d'autres responsables de l'Etat français, le Président et les ministres du gouvernement de la Nouvelle-Calédonie, les représentants des trois Provinces, les membres du Sénat coutumier, et d'autres autorités coutumières. Je tiens également à remercier les représentants de nombreuses organisations Kanaks et non-gouvernementales, y compris les syndicales et les organisations de femmes, de jeunes et les organisations environnementales qui m'ont fourni des informations.
En plus de mes rencontres à Nouméa, je me suis rendu dans les trois provinces du pays. J'ai rendu visite aux autorités et aux membres des communautés autochtones à Kone, Thio, Saramea, Lifou et Ouvéa. J'ai également visité le centre de détention à Nouméa. Je suis reconnaissant pour la chaleureuse hospitalité avec laquelle j'ai été reçu par les autorités coutumières kanak, leurs communautés et les autorités gouvernementales.
Je suis encouragé d'apprendre de la part des intervenants qu'il y aurait un consensus autour de l'Accord de Nouméa, prévoyant un cadre pour le transfert des compétences de la France aux institutions de la Nouvelle-Calédonie et qui permettrait à l'avenir la possibilité d'une indépendance totale. Je salue en particulier les dispositions de l'Accord de Nouméa qui promeuvent la culture et les institutions coutumières du peuple kanak en tant que partie intégrante du tissu social et politique du pays, ainsi que les dispositions mettant en place une fondation pour les nombreuses initiatives entreprises afin de traiter les conditions désavantageuses auxquelles est confronté le peuple Kanak dans tous les domaines de la vie. Je note que l'Accord de Nouméa peut et doit être interprété en pleine conformité à la Déclaration de l'Organisation des Nations Unies sur les droits des peuples autochtones. Cette dernière va de pair avec la politique des Nations Unies sur la décolonisation.
Lors de ma visite, j'ai pris connaissance de nombreuses mesures visant à mettre en oeuvre l'Accord de Nouméa et autres évolutions positives afférentes. Néanmoins, j'ai aussi pris connaissance de nombreux défis qui subsistent. Les autorités kanaks et les membres des communautés autochtones m'ont fait part de manière réitérée de leurs frustrations quant à la perpétuation de tendances à la discrimination à leur encontre, aux restrictions à l'exercice des droits coutumiers, aux mauvaises conditions sociales et économiques et à l'absence de participation adéquate aux processus décisionnels les concernant à de nombreux égards.
Dans les semaines à venir; je vais évaluer les informations recueillies, rencontrer les autorités françaises à Paris afin de discuter plus avant de la situation des droits de l'homme du peuple Kanak. Ensuite, je rédigerai un rapport assorti de recommandations. Ce rapport sera rendu public et soumis au Conseil des Droits de l'Homme de l'Organisation des Nations Unies Conseil. Mon attente est que ce rapport contribue à la poursuite du dialogue constructif entre les gouvernements de la France, de la Nouvelle-Calédonie et les représentants du peuple Kanak.
Interview with ABC News Australia
In New Caledonia, the question of indigenous rights never seems to be too far from the headlines. In recent weeks, the goverment of Phillipe Gomes has fallen in a dispute over role of the Kanak flag, and results from the 2009 census have revealed that those people who identify themselves as Kanak earn less, are worse educated, and have a shorter life expectancy.
Also on the horizon is the culmination of the Noumea Accords, which promise a referendum on independence sometime between... and twenty-nineteen. Against this background, the United Nations recently sent its Special Rapporteur on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, James Anaya, to New Caledonia to investigate the state of Kanak affairs. So does he believe Kanaks run the risk of losing their identity?
Presenter: Geraldine Coutts
Speaker: James Anaya, UN Special Rapporteur on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.
ANAYA: I wouldn't say they're concerned about losing their identity in a real fundamental sense. They have a very strong sense of identity. I was very impressed by that, just in an outward sense, what you see on the surface, the very rich manifestations of their cultures, but beyond that it seems that their sense of identify and the integrity of the culture go quite deep, and they do certainly, and this is expressed to me and I think is well known to the French authorities and is something that has been documented in a number of reports, they do feel that that identity is and has been under threat.
They have experienced what indigenous peoples around the world are experiencing as a result of historical patterns of colonisation and that is a direct assault on their identity, their way of life, the ways of life that are connected with territories, particular land areas, particular customs connected to those land areas, customary institutions that have governed their communities for centuries. These things have been under assault for sometime and that has been the experience like I said of indigenous peoples around the world. And so they're looking to resist or at least overcome those threats and there have been changes put in place and part of those are connected with the Noumea accord. The Noumea accords does provide what they describe as a road map, a framework for moving forward.
What the Noumea accord does though is leave open a number of questions that you've pointed out and what will happen in 2014, the Noumea accords doesn't resolve that, but it provides for various possibilities, among those is a possibility of an independent New Caledonia and possibly this continued association in some way with France. But whatever possibility is arrived at, what the Noumea accords points to is the need to secure Kanak identity and their place as a distinct peoples within whatever framework is ultimately arrived at for New Caledonia.
COUTTS: And at the core of this is the ability to co-exist. Are the Kanak leaders worried that the symbols of that, the national anthem and flags of the two nations flying side by side is causing this much trouble, is it co-existence that they're also worried about?
ANAYA: I think they have an expectation of co-existence and they feel that that has been agreed upon and if one looks at the Noumea accords, one sees that is a feature of it, that there will be a co-existence and they have agreed that the non-indigenous or the people that migrated there since French presence have legitimate places in New Caledonia, at least those that have some roots there, a generation of so and so they are not taking the position, at least the ones I heard from, which I think represent the overwhelming majority. They've taken the position that only they have a place and they are talking about co-existence and Noumea accords does reflect that spirit of co-existence in a very pronounced way.
Now, of course, there are things to work out and that's where you have ongoing questions about things, such as the flag, such the symbols of that co-existence, as they are called in the Noumea accords themselves. And there seems to be as to the flag an ongoing, well certainly there is an ongoing debate about that, but within that debate there is gravitations toward as far as I can tell toward recognition of some place for a flag that represents something other than the French republic or the French identity and the question is what is or will be that other flag and that's the debate ongoing right now.
COUTTS: Well, you spoke to a lot of people presumably, in the recent visit to New Caledonia. We just touched on the surface there that the surface and symbols of co-existence seem to be challenged. Do the people that you spoke to think?
ANAYA: Let me just clarify what symbols of co-existence will be are still up for debate, but there is a consensus that I heard from all sides that I spoke to that those symbols will be of co-existence and not of dominance of one over the other.
S. James Anaya is a Regents Professor and the James J. Lenoir Professor of Human Rights Law and Policy at the University of Arizona (United States). He was appointed as Special Rapporteur on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples in March 2008 by the Human Rights Council. The mandate was created in 2001 by the then Commission on Human Rights, and was renewed most recently in 2010 by the Human Rights Council for a three-year period.

7 Best Options, How to Make Money from a Website
Here you’ll see a catalog of things how you may make money from a website. The only thing left for you is to choose the options that seem the best to you.
Almost everyone is aware it’s quite possible to make money on the Internet.
However, far from all people can do it.
Many people do not even try, because they have not the slightest idea how to begin.
Moreover, everybody desires to make much money from the websites, but he is not interested at all in how to earn it.
If you expect to make some money, you must spend money and time first.
Such law is appropriate to both usual business and on the Internet, which is connected to making money from the created website.
There exist several ways how to make money from a website.
Let’s look closer at them.
How to make money from a website placing advertisements there?
Probably, advertisement appears to be the simplest and the most fruitful scheme how to make money from a website.
Such money making scheme may be additional or the main.
There are two kinds of advertisements:
The first one is banner advertisement.
They catch the visitors’ eyes and attract their attention.
If a banner is informative, the flow of clients won’t make advertiser wait long.
You are able to make much money on your website, if you have the formed audience and high website traffic.
For instance, a narrow topic website has high website traffic when it has more than 500 unique visitors per day.
Websites covering general topics have bigger numbers.
Still, let’s discuss how to earn money from the website with the help of banner advertisement.
If you own a web-page and you yearn to make money from it, you should look for the similar websites and watch how they make money.
If you notice that the main income comes from selling banners, you’d better follow them (banners) to the advertisers’ pages and look for contacting information.
Then you should write them a letter, in which you’ll write something like this: Hello.
I’ve got a nice offer for you.
My website is similar to the one that advertises you. I wonder if you were interested in ordering your banner on my website.
You should write a similar letter, and believe us, in case they are really interested, they will definitely ask the website’s address. If the advertisers are satisfied with it, you’ll pass to discussing the costs.
This way how you can make money from your website is direct.
Such method is extremely profitable, because there are no commission fees.
Contextual advertisement.
The second kind of advertisement corresponds to the content of the website, where it is located.
Due to it contextual advertisement became so famous and is always in high demand.
It’s very profitable for the advertisers (those people will see it, who actually need it), the sites’ owners (it’s a good opportunity to make profit and it doesn’t irritate your visitors) and the visitors themselves (they see those goods and services, which are related to the topic they look through at the very moment and, accordingly, they may be helpful).
Besides, it concerns the PPC advertisements (pay per click).
It’s quite clear from its name how you are going to make money.
You’ll get paid for each click (pay per click, which the visitors make from your ads).
The most widespread option in this section is Google AdSense; however, plenty of other providers also offer similar service.
Firstly, you register in the advertising network and add to your website some fragments of code.
The network will fill your site with contextual advertisements (text or images), which are relevant to the site’s topic, and you will to make a definite sum of money on every click.
The paid ads for the views (CPM).
CPM advertisement is like pay per click, but instead of clicks, you are paid for the number of views (page reviews).
The payment is made counting every 1000 views. Let’s imagine a website with 200 000 views per month, which installs an ad that costs $1 per 1000 views.
It means the owner is going to make $200 every month.
Just like using PPC ads, the sum of money from CPM advertisements is influenced by the advertisement’s location.
The closer to the top you set it, the higher is the price per thousand of views.
The bigger is the size (counting in pixels), the higher is your payment per thousand views, too.
It should be noted that such advertisements will suit those sites, which have much traffic and high rate of views per visitor.
Advertising widgets.
Such method is rather new on the market, but every day more people install widgets in their sites to earn money.
Such elements are developed to be easily put on websites without any troubles.
Widgets combine PPC, Text Link Ads and affiliate programs.
How to make money from the website by purchasing and selling direct links?
It should be pointed out that selling links is not encouraged by the searching engines.
In case you are too bold, you’ll get banned by the searching systems.
Meanwhile, selling website’s links is an extremely popular method to make money from your page nowadays.
Links are bought to advance the rating of the promoted WEB-project.
The increased is made by raising the page’s positions on the list of searching engine results on the concurrent request.
You are able to take charge for placing such links on your website.
You must assure the definite number of people will see the links every month and you can take money for it.
If only you had a list of 100 links, and you were paid $2 per month for each link, you would earn $200 only for publishing them on your page!
How to make money from a website by publishing articles?
Publishing articles on your website is a perfect support and promotion of your resource along with a technique how you can make money from it.
It’s quite like making money with contextual advertisements.
Moreover, it’s profitable for everyone:
The resource’s owner gets money and unique content by publishing the article. In its turn, they will definitely attract new visitors.
The visitors have a possibility to find new information.
The SEO specialist has the links to his site by placing his articles on other resources.
Such method of how you are able to make money has one drawback for site’s promotion, which the owner must consider.
Publishing articles people hurry to computerize them, it leads to automatic duplication of the articles with the help of various programs.
The essence of it all is that you take an article and by changing the words on its synonyms you make 100-200 articles.
Read also: How to Make Money from Blogging?
It’s the reason why you must treat publishing articles on your resource seriously, picking and publishing unique articles only being sure in their quality.
How to make money from a website using indirect processes?
Try affiliate marketing.
In case everything is properly done, this technique will become the best to make money from your site.
Using suchlike ads, you’ll receive commission fee from each sale, which happened as a result of your recommendation.
You redirect your site’s visitors to the goods’ page with the help of links, banners, text ads, etc.
If they order goods, you’ll get the commission fee.
Reviews on the products.
It is similar to the affiliate marketing, though it’s a more accustomed way.
You are able to write reviews in details on different products and publish them on your web-page.
Obviously, you’d better take the items, which concern the site’s topic, because the site has its targeted audience.
There is no sense making a detailed review on the roof-integrated solar arrays, if you specialize on diving, for example.
Selling your own goods.
In case you’ve got a product or a service, which you acquired, why not sell it on your page?
Maybe, you are a great software engineer and you developed a useful tool, which is able to help financial experts to receive the needed data to their phones.
In this case, you can provide people with the possibility to download such program from your page and get a small payment in return.
Maybe, you are keen on making handicrafts from pottery and you are willing to sell some works – sell them on your site.
If your goods become popular, you will build a profitable business from them and you’ll make much money with the help of such technique!
The advantage of such situation is that comparing to selling goods in the shop, which has relatively small clients’ database, your site is going to open to you the whole world to sell your goods and services.
Creating e-Books.
All people seem to start writing e-Books nowadays, so why not you try it too?
They’ve become so popular for the last couple of years, when commercial eReaders appeared, such as IPad from Apple or Amazon Kindle.
You could write a book about anything you want.
Maybe, you like doing all house work and you know how to do it perfectly well. In this case, you could write a book of tips on how to fix your house, which may turn out to be very helpful for others.
Later, you could sell it on the virtual advertising boards or on the Internet auctions.
You could also sell it on your website and get additional income!
From the point of view of the real income, you’ll get 100% from the sales and you’ll definitely attract additional traffic to your website.
So, now you know a couple of ways how to make money from your website.
Certainly, this list can be easily broadened, because life does not stand still and every day brings us something new.
Whether you are going to use the received knowledge depends only on you.
Anyway, we wish you only success in making money on the Internet.

SUMMARY. Annually more than 2 million tons of chemical plant protection products are introduced into the fields of the planet due to the need to preserve the crop. However, with multiple introduction of persistent pesticides, soil can become a source of pollution of crop production.
The Purpose of our work was to predict the danger for children of all ages when consuming agricultural products contaminated with fungicides of the amides and triazoles classes.
Materials and Methods. For an integrated assessment of the potential hazard on a four-graded scale, the allowable daily intake, the half-life in plants, and the average daily consumption of the product were estimated. When estimating the average daily consumption of products for children under the age of 18, the safety coefficients were used.
Results. According to the persistence in agricultural cultures, fungicides cyflufenamide and difenoconazole were classified as hazard classes 3 (moderately stable). By the integral indicator of the danger when consuming pesticide-contaminated products for adults, difenoconazole is very dangerous (grade 4), cyflufenamide —moderately dangerous (grade 3).
Conclusion. It has been established that for children, depending on their age, both studied active substances can be from extremely dangerous for infants and children of preschool age to a low or moderately dangerous for adolescents.
Key Words: risk, pesticides, food products, children.
Every year, over 2 million tons of agricultural chemicals are used in the fields of our planet. The circulation of pesticides in soil, water and atmospheric air leads to contamination of the biosphere and deterioration of its quality [1]. Excessive use of pesticides coupled with industrial contamination further complicates the ecological situation in Ukraine and reduces the restorative capacity of the biosphere and ecological resilience of cultivated lands [3].
The use of pesticides is driven by the need to preserve the crop of agricultural plants, this is why they are introduced into farming ecosystems; in this way, pesticides are continuously circulating in the environment. Multiple uses of persistent pesticides may make the soil a source of contamination for agricultural plants [2, 3].
Assessment of the risks associated with the consumption of foods containing residual pesticides is a vitally important and integral part of the regulatory process [4].
The aim of our work included prediction and comparative assessment of the hazards associated with the consumption of agricultural produce contaminated with amide and triazole fungicides in children and adolescents of various age groups.
Materials and methods of the study. For the purposes of this study, the author has selected modern fungicides belonging to promising chemical classes of amides (сyflufenamid) and triazoles (difenoconazole).
The parameters of the persistence of investigational fungicides in agricultural crops under the edaphoclimatic conditions of Ukraine are given based on the findings of the author’s own field study.
Information on physicochemical properties as well as basic toxicological information is provided according to literature data [5].
During assessment of the behaviour of investigational fungicides in agricultural crops, in order to calculate half-lives (τ50) and time to almost complete disintegration (τ95) of investigational substances in herbage of the plants, the author has used a mathematical modelling method, which involved calculational simulation of pesticide disintegration based on actual data, which allows predicting the persistence of pesticides [6, 7, 8, 9].
In order to perform an integral assessment of potential hazards related to the human effects of pesticides in the consumption of contaminated agricultural produce, the author has used a four-grade scale to assess allowable daily dose (ADD), half-life (τ50) in plants and mean daily consumption of the product (see Table 1) [10].
During the assessment of mean daily consumption of products in children up to 18 years of age, the author has used a margin of safety (MoS), which was calculated by dividing mean body weight of an adult (non-occupational populations) [60 kg] (М) by mean body weight of a child of a particular age (m): MoS = M/m.
Therefore, the margin of safety for children younger than 1 year of age is 6.0 (for children 1 to 5 years of age = 3.0; for children 6 to 10 years of age: 2.0; for children 11 to 14 years of age = 1.5 and for children 15 to 18 years of age = 1.2).
If the investigational pesticide is used on different agricultural produce, the values of respective mean daily consumptions are added and total mean daily consumption is assessed on a point-based scale.
After adding all the points obtained, the integral hazard index in products consumption (IHIPC) is graded in the following manner: IHIPC of 3–5 points —substances with low hazard for humans (Class 4), 6–8 points — moderately hazardous (Class 3), 9–11 points — hazardous (Class 2), >11 points — extremely hazardous (Class 1) substances.
Grading scale of pesticide hazard indices in use of contaminated foods
Notes: 1. – If the product is used raw or as baby food, the half-life is increased two-fold for the purposes of scoring; 2. – An additional margin of safety (MoS) is used in children younger than 18 years of age.
Results and discussion. A field study in different edaphoclimatic zones of Ukraine and the use of mathematical modelling method allowed calculating the parameters of the persistence of investigational substances in vegetating agricultural crops (τ50) (see Table 2).
Mathematical processing of the results obtained in a field experiment to assess how residual amounts of amide and triazole fungicides changed with time has shown that under edaphoclimatic conditions of Ukraine the process of disintegration of these substances in agricultural crops was exponential in nature.
Statistical processing of disintegration rates of investigational amides and triazoles (see Table 2) in agricultural crops has shown that any variances in values of k, τ50 and τ95 in different fruit and vegetable crops were not significant for either сyflufenamid or difenoconazole (р > 0.05). This enabled the authors to calculate averaged values of k, τ50 and τ95 for the aforesaid fungicides in plants.
Disintegration rates of investigational fungicides in objects of farming ecosystems
In terms of persistence in agricultural crops, such fungicides as сyflufenamid and difenoconazole may be classified as Class 3 hazardous substances (moderately persistent).
However, half-lives only reflect how long a pesticide persists in agricultural crops and, respectively, the risk that it gets into a human body. This does not make it possible to assess the human health risks of consuming contaminated produce.
Taking into account that investigational agricultural crops can be a part of baby food products, it is very important to perform a risk assessment of using such products by children of various age groups taking into account the peculiarities of nutrition and the increased susceptibility of children.
Calculations performed with the proposed method have shown that for adults difenoconazole was a low-hazard substance (Class 4) and сyflufenamid was a moderately hazardous substance (Class 3). However, the younger the child, the more dangerous consumption of pesticide-contaminated foods becomes (see Table 3).
This is primarily related to the fact that these are low-hazard substances from the toxicological perspective (i.e. with quite high ADDs) and also to the fact that these substances are rapidly destroyed in agricultural produce.
Hazard indices of pesticides in consumption of contaminated products (for adults)
Notes: 1 = the value of the parameter/index; 2 = the class according to proposed method.
It has been shown that under edaphoclimatic conditions of Ukraine, сyflufenamid and difenoconazole may be classified as Class 3 hazardous substances (moderately persistent) in terms of their persistence in agricultural crops.
In terms of integral hazard index in consumption of pesticide-contaminated products (IHIPC) for adults, the triazole investigational compound (difenoconazole) belongs to hazard class 4 (low hazard), the amide compound (сyflufenamid) is moderately hazardous (Class 3). In children, depending on their age, the hazard of both investigational active compounds may be from “extremely hazardous” in infants and preschoolers to “low-hazard” or “moderately hazardous” in adolescents.

We demand that the authorities, especially the Office of the Attorney General, guarantee the constitutional and legal process
The National Human Rights Commission of the People’s Congress, denounces to the citizens of Colombia, the authorities of control and protection of human rights, the social organizations and the national and international community, the delicate situation of persecution against our social and political organization, aggravated by the recent events that we will explain below:
At approximately 2:15pm today, June 6, 2018, our comrade and colleague Julian Andres Gil Reyes was detained in Bogotá DC, he currently works as the technical secretary and member of the international commission of the People’s Congress.
Days ago Julian detected strange civilian subjects following him, taking pictures and monitoring the activities of the office of the People’s Congress where he works and carries out his labor and political activities.
When he was about to leave the office, in the entryway, he was approached by five civilian subjects and two uniformed officers presumably from the National Police, who put him in a private car, a grayish blue Renault with license plate ZJN – 059 from Zipaquirá, going towards the Police Headquarters of Cundinamarca, located in Bogotá on the Avenue of the Americas with 53 Street.
We demand to the authorities, especially the Office of the Attorney General to guarantee the constitutional and legal processes to the citizen Julian Andres Gil Reyes, and immediately stop the persecution against social leaders In Colombia.
We denounce these irregular detentions as a strategy of criminalization by the Colombian State to dismantle the social organizations and impede the constitutional right to protest and to the development of democratic principles.

Indie Speculative Fiction of the Month for November 2017
Posted on November 30, 2017 by Cora
It’s that time of the month again, time for “Indie Speculative Fiction of the Month”.
So what is “Indie Speculative Fiction of the Month”? It’s a round-up of speculative fiction by indie authors newly published this month, though some October books I missed the last time around snuck in as well. The books are arranged in alphabetical order by author. So far, most links only go to Amazon.com, though I may add other retailers for future editions.
Once again, we have new releases covering the whole broad spectrum of speculative fiction. This month, we have epic fantasy, urban fantasy, paranormal mystery, paranormal romance, science fiction romance, space opera, military science fiction, dystopian fiction, Steampunk, alternate history, time travel, horror, witches, warlocks, a whole lot of werewolves, psychics, mindreaders, mermaids, catastrophic chupacabras, magic schools, genderneutral fairytales, void wyrms, alien invasions, clockwork boys, clockwork samurai, possessive tigerlords, zombies, space pirates, guardians, empowered outlaws and much more.
Don’t forget that Indie Speculative Fiction of the Month is also crossposted to the Speculative Fiction Showcase, a group blog run by Jessica Rydill and myself, which features new release spotlights, guest posts, interviews and link round-ups regarding all things speculative fiction several times per week.
As always, I know the authors at least vaguely, but I haven’t read all of the books, so Caveat emptor.
And now on to the books without further ado:
Aspiria Rising by Douglas Barton:
Persecuted and Forced to Rebel against the Meritocracy
Like most people on his world, Dominy worships the ground scientists walk on. He can’t wait to work with the brightest minds in the galaxy at Aspiria, the intellectual capital of civilization. Unfortunately, many of them are disappearing.
Desperate to solve the mystery, Dominy recruits a band of fellow academic trainees. Together they set out on a manic journey through deserted basements, forgotten particle accelerators, and jam-packed futuristic stadiums.
When they uncover a shocking conspiracy, Dominy realizes he may hold the key to keeping civilization alive. With time ticking away, he confronts the capital’s leadership only to discover a madman is involved in an unimaginable galactic plot.
Aspiria Rising is a utopian sci-fi thriller for the ages. If you like mystery, heart-pounding suspense, and a touch of quirky romance, then you’ll love Douglas Barton’s debut novel.
Forgotten Relics by Cianien Bloodstone:
Rei had lost it all: her family, a safe home, and, most important, her freedom.
Despite all odds, she managed to escape and make her life among the stars. It’s not easy to be a fugitive of the largest galactic power ever known. Making a living requires being flexible, and not particularly caring for things like laws or rights of property.
Even in her new life the ghosts of Rei’s past refuse to leave her in peace. She’s been changed by her captivity in more ways than one and the mysteries abound. There are untold questions that demand answers, but the only way she can find out the truth is to start back at the beginning
To complicate matters, she is approached to stop her old enemies from retrieving priceless artifacts of untold knowledge. The idea is as murky as they come but they have to take the chance. Even if it might cost her crew dearly.
A Mess of Arms and Legs and Limbs by Cora Buhlert:
Humanity thought they were alone in the universe. They were wrong.
When aliens attack Hyams II, a small mining colony on the galactic rim, all that stands between the attackers and the terrified civilian population are a handful of underpaid and underequipped security guards.
However, two of those guards, Cally and Matt, use all their skills and their knowledge of the colony’s layout to fight back and hold the invaders at bay. And in the process, they also manage to uncover the biggest secret of all: Why are the aliens attacking human outposts at all?
This is a short science fiction story of 6500 words or approximately 25 print pages.
Walking on Knives by Maya Chhabra:
The little mermaid has no idea that as she makes her way on land, she’s being watched over by the sister of the very witch with whom she made her bargain. She has no idea that the witch’s sister is falling in love with her.
When the prince decides to marry another woman, the little mermaid’s secret helper offers her a chance to live. But the price may be too high…
Content warning: Walking on Knives contains some explicit content and opens with a disturbing scene of dubious sexual consent.
The Flying Glass by E.M. Cooper:
Marnie Speck arrives at her new foster home in Downfell, Northern England with her crusty social worker, Miss Baxter. Marnie guards a rose-covered case with hidden secrets and the only link to her past and future. A telescope, old glass and a strange librarian unleash the potential of a new and extraordinary life far away at the Fanglewick School of Magic in the Old World. But first Marnie must find a way to cross the demonic halo like aspiring young wizards, witches and elves have for centuries.
In a strange but beautiful landscape inhabited by haughty wizards, ratbag witches and ambitious elves, Marnie fights for a place in Fanglewick, where magic begins and ends. The school sits on the repository of magic and flows through Shining Lake and beyond to the multiverse. Over time, Fanglewick has lured heroes, kings, queens and dark beasts. Wizards, goblins and their dragon-riding armies have waged terrible wars to possess and control its treasure. For now there is peace, yet there are rumblings in the Imporium where scheming wizards and elves work in the magical government and a new presence is lurking in the forests and grounds of Fanglewick.
Out of Fire – Hummingbird, Book 1 by Jonathan Crocker:
At sixteen years old, Deacon Barnes had spent his entire life on the dusty moon of Ophelia, on the outskirts of Republic territory. The son of a farmer, Deacon’s lazy days are spent dreaming of adventure, of escaping his dreary life and visiting distant stars. That dream becomes reality, but hardly in the way he expected. It comes in the dark of night, in the form of fire. Flames bathe his home, his moon attacked by a powerful and mysterious alien race known only as the Ethereals. He’s left for dead, the lone survivor of a brutal massacre.
A chance encounter with the entrancing Diera Hawk, notorious smuggler and captain of the Hummingbird, gives Deacon a second chance at life – and the adventure he’s always dreamed of. But is Deacon cut out for the life of a rogue? And when Diera turns her focus to chasing rumours of the Ethereals across the galaxy – and beyond – can the crew of the Hummingbird stand against the might of the powerful aliens?
The Neptune Contingency by Benjamin Douglas:
You can take the man out of the war, but not the war out of the man.
Gavin Dolridge has a problem. And no matter how long he lays low farming potatoes on his family farm hab on Pluto, his knowledge of the Council’s secrets isn’t going away. He’s got a target on his back, and his only choice may be to run or die.
Ada Xander is in over her head. After leaving the Colonies to track down her father, she’s fallen in with pirates, a massive organized crime syndicate, and a rogue Colonial battleship whose captain and crew have their own ideas when it comes to diplomatic solutions. But when a massive force of AI-controlled drones begins leaving a trail of death in its wake, all bets are off, and all the chips are on the table.
Can Dolridge stay alive long enough to make amends for his silence? Will Ada survive the battle-torn inner system and come any closer to finding what she seeks?
The Neptune Contingency is the third book in the Starship Fairfax series, and picks up where The Hidden Prophet left off.
Void Wyrm by Chris Fox:
A Suicidal Quest Into the Umbral Depths
Major Voria stands ready to accept the cost for her actions at Marid. Stripped of command and resources, Voria must find a ship and rally a crew. Somewhere within the Umbral Depths lays a hidden world, a world that the dead god Marid intended her to find.
Aran faces a choice. Halt his war mage training, and in the process give up clues to his past, or abandon Voria. Aran sacrifices everything to follow Voria on a suicidal quest into the one place where even gods fear to tread.
On a bleak world in the deepest darkness lays an object of enormous power, one that could turn the tide of the war against Krox. But Voria isn’t the only one seeking the weapon. The great Void Wyrm Khalahk has vowed to hunt Voria, and will see her dead even if it means following her into the Umbral Depths themselves.
All while the dreadlord Nebiat makes herself at home on Shaya, binding the souls of its leaders.
Blade and Rose by Miranda Honfleur
A kingdom in turmoil or the love of her life. Which one will she save?
Elemental mage Rielle hasn’t heard from her best friend in far too long. Yet no one at the Tower of Magic seems to care about Olivia’s silence, or the curtain of secrecy surrounding the distant capital. Before Rielle can investigate, she’s assigned a strange new mission: escort a knight named Jon across the kingdom.
When whispers reveal mercenaries have killed the king, taken the capital, and that no one is coming to help, Rielle can’t leave Olivia in peril. But as infamous mages and deadly assassins hunt Jon, she can’t leave him unprotected either–especially as she finds herself falling for his strength, his passion, and his uncompromising goodness. Her past returns to haunt her, a werewolf stalks their steps, and an ancient evil is gathering, yet the restraints forbidding their love strain and snap one by one.
Saving Olivia and the kingdom means defying orders and sacrificing her every ambition, and could mean losing the man who’s become so much more to her than a mission. Which will she choose: her best friend and the kingdom, or the love of her life?
Clockwork Boys by T. Kingfisher:
A paladin, an assassin, a forger, and a scholar ride out of town. It’s not the start of a joke, but rather an espionage mission with deadly serious stakes. T. Kingfisher’s new novel begins the tale of a murderous band of criminals (and a scholar), thrown together in an attempt to unravel the secret of the Clockwork Boys, mechanical soldiers from a neighboring kingdom that promise ruin to the Dowager’s city.
If they succeed, rewards and pardons await, but that requires a long journey through enemy territory, directly into the capital. It also requires them to refrain from killing each other along the way! At turns darkly comic and touching, Clockwork Boys puts together a broken group of people trying to make the most of the rest of their lives as they drive forward on their suicide mission.
A Fire in the Heavens by Mary Robinette Kowal:
On a tidally locked world, Katin is aboard a ship fleeing from religious persecution in her homeland. Her people worship the seven-sisters, a group of dieties that resides in the night sky and are visible as a tight cluster of stars. This exploration ship has sailed farther West than anyone has sailed before. Some think that they will sail off the edge of the world, but she is confident that the ancient stories of a land far to the West are true. She dismisses the tales that accompany the stories of light in the night sky called “the moon” as exaggerated superstition.
Until they sail over the over the curve of the world and sees the moon for the first time.
The Chupacabra Catastrophe by Amanda M. Lee:
Charlie Rhodes has a new life and it’s not exactly what she thought it would be.
She’s psychic, telekinetic and eager to learn from her knowledgeable co-workers at The Legacy Foundation. She’s also nervous, frightened and on edge … mostly because she’s exactly the sort of oddity the group is looking to study and she’s desperate to keep her secret from the very people who are searching for her.
When word comes down that a chupacabra may have been sighted in Texas – perhaps even killing a man in an old abandoned mining town – Charlie is eager to show her worth. She’s part of the first team that descends on Hooper’s Mill, and there’s definitely an air of danger lingering over the town.
Charlie can feel it. She can sense … something. It’s lurking in the town and watching. Unfortunately for Charlie, she can’t get a handle on whether she’s looking for a human or animal. She just knows that it’s dangerous … and it wants to kill anyone who crosses its path.
When one member of the team goes missing, Charlie realizes she’s running out of time to solve a mystery in the present that has ties to the past. All the while she’s trying to ensure her own future as the jaws of death – in the form of a mythical creature – snap at her heels.
It’s all hands on deck for another adventure, and this time the stakes might be so high not everyone survives.
Clockwork Samurai by Jeannie Lin:
The Gunpowder Chronicles continue as a woman left adrift by a dynasty in decline attempts to reclaim her family’s honor…
Appointed to the Court of Physicians, Jin Soling can see that the newly-crowned Emperor is cracking, relying on opium to drown his troubles. The Qing Empire is failing, and war with the British is imminent, but the man to whom Soling was once engaged has a bold idea to save it.
A leader within the Ministry of Engineering, Chen Chang-wei suggests an alliance with the isolated island empire of Japan, whose scientists claim to have technical advancements that could turn the tide of the war.
Seeking to escape the politics of the imperial court, Soling arranges her own passage on the airship to Japan. But once they land, Chang-wei and Soling become targets of the shogunate’s armored samurai assassins. Caught in an age-old battle between feudal tradition and innovation, and stranded in a land distrustful of foreigners, Soling and Chang-wei must find a way to fight back against the Western invaders—with the survival of both Qing Empire and the island nation of Japan at stake.
Taken by the Tigerlord by Kara Lockharte:
He loved, lied, then left her.
Now she’s supposed to marry him?!
Newly disowned princess Seria is tired of shifters trying to control her destiny. All Seria wants is to return to the orderly librarian life she had before scheming royals got involved in her future. But when she inadvertently becomes a political pawn trapped in marriage to the handsome oversexed tigershifter who betrayed her, it will take all of her resourcefulness to fight her true desires…
Destiny says she’s his.
And that he will cause her death.
Tigerlord Kai of the House of Stargazer has always known he was destined to die a hero. But when a power play for his position drops his luscious fated mate into his inner sanctum, Kai realizes Seria’s crucial role in his doomed destiny. Saving the universe will require sacrificing not only his life, but also hers. It’s a fate he’ll do anything to change, even if it costs him her love…
You can’t fight fate…unless you’re a Tigerlord…..
A Mind Reader’s Christmas by Al Macy:
Eric Beckman, a mind-reading private investigator, is spending Christmas in snowy Vermont with his wife and daughter. He needs a break from solving cases, but the townspeople convince him to look into the village mystery: Every holiday season, someone switches the baby Jesus with one of the other figures in the town’s Nativity scene.
With the help of his ten-year-old daughter, also a mind reader, he soon learns that some of the residents of the small town are not who–or even what–they seem to be. There’s something supernatural going on in Newburn, Vermont.
His investigation causes an escalation of strange happenings, and soon, swapped manger figures are the least of the town’s worries. If Beckman can’t adjust his view of the world–force himself to believe in things he never thought possible–the Christmas vacation could turn out to be his family’s last.
A Mind Reader’s Christmas may be read as a standalone book or as Book Four in the Eric Beckman series.
Forget the Alamo! by Drew McGunn:
After the explosion, Will didn’t expect to wake up again, especially in the past. Alive is good. Except he finds himself at the Alamo in 1836 in the body of another man doomed to die. If history repeats itself, Santa Anna is coming soon and the Alamo will fall, along with himself and 189 others.
In a race against time itself, Will uses his knowledge of the future to change the past. He will use every means necessary, even if it means abandoning the fort.
He is determined to forget the Alamo!
Magically Bound by Rachel Medhurst:
Witch, Warlock, Whatever…
My name’s Devon Jinx, and, yes, I’m half warlock, half witch. But I couldn’t care less about which kind of magic is better. All I want to do is keep my head down and get on with my new job as an investigator at the Hunted Witch Agency.
A recent, shall we say, mistake, has put me in place to inherit the leadership of the warlocks. Which means only one thing. I have a choice to make: Leave behind my life of witchery to become a warlock, or lose my warlock magic forever.
Complicating my choice is the fact that someone is trying to destroy the warlock coven. If I don’t stop them, the warlocks will be annihilated. The task seems impossible until Gerard Freshwater, a distractingly handsome witch, explodes into my life. He’s determined to make me see that being a witch isn’t just the best option, but the only option.
Robin and Jamie by Lorri Moulton:
Action, adventure, magic and romance. An ancient curse has returned to the lands and Robin and Jamie must help a fractured group of heroes reunite. Only by working together to solve an age-old prophecy, can they stop an evil sorceress and Lord of the North.
I started writing Robin and Jamie as an experiment. What can we do in a book that would not be possible in a TV show or movie? Never tell the reader if the main characters are men or women. I wanted to make the two main characters (and one of the water fairies) known for what they believed in, what class they came from, why they were fighting, how they fought, what their alliances might be…everything except whether they were the guy or the gal. I’ve always loved fairytales (alright, and the dresses) but it seems very impractical to be running around in the forest wearing one. I hope you enjoy the story!

Agent “Sully” Sullivan is one of the top cops in the Imperial Bureau of Investigation. A veteran witch of the British Empire who isn’t afraid to use her magical skills to crack a case. But Sully might need more than a good education and raw power to stop the string of grisly murders that have been springing up across the American Colonies. Every one of them marked by the same chilling calling card, a warning in the form of a legion of voices screaming out through the killers’ mouths: “It IS tHe YEAr oF the KNife.”
Sully’s investigation will drag her away from the comforts of home in New Amsterdam, the beautiful but useless hyacinth macaw that used to be her boss, and the loving arms of her undead girlfriend, in a thrilling race against time, demonic forces and a shadowy conspiracy that will do anything to keep its hold on power and ensure that Sully takes their secrets to her grave, as soon as possible.

Seventeen year old Wren Shaffer is disenchanted with the world’s decreasing values and the utterly fake nature of high society. Having reaped the consequences of speaking out once before, now she hides behind a pretty mask of lies, counting the days until her eighteenth birthday.
Coming back from vacation with her disinterested and self-involved mother, Wren is one of the 1% severely affected by the pathogen. Now, alone and increasingly afraid of the odd new feelings and abilities she can’t ignore, she bonds with two of the lab’s original subjects, who are determined to save her not only from her first evolution, but from her life of fake smiles and pretty pictures as well.
But the scientists are still watching and not all of the subjects are fit for society. It’s a race against time and a fight for survival and if Wren or one of her new soul-mates die, the other two won’t be far behind.
Content Warning: Some explicit language and graphic violence.
Shattered Earth by Jenny Schwartz:
The scum of the galaxy are using Earth as a nuclear winter death camp. It outrages pirate captain Kohia Jekyll’s sense of justice.

Wavelength "Bucket" Game Prototype
Katie and Kyle haul a violet, orange, and blue color from one side of the space to the other. They have to very carefully match the wavelength of the color by keeping their glowballs the right distance apart as the move across the playing field.
This prototype will be expanded into a more complete game, put the core mechanic seems sound and should drive the learning. Even as the creators of the game, we learned a lot about the properties of light. This is, like the color matching game and the mirror playground part of Gaming SMALLab's Light and Optics curriculum.
New Version of Color Mixing Game
This is the latest version of our color mixing game. Here, Kyle and Michie are raising and lowering the red, green, and blue balls to match the color coming out from the center of the floor. The colors get faster as the game progresses--and mistakes shrink the amount of time you have to match!
Very fun and very physical--this will easily wear you out after a few rounds. This is part of the Light and Optics curriculum we are putting together for Katie Salen and David Birchfield's Gaming SMALLab project.
Fear of a Black Swan
Colleen Macklin forwarded Kyle Li and I this excellent post on Raph Koster's blog about the Ludic Fallacy. In essence, the ludic fallacy is when people "mistake the model for reality." Koster's take was that this can drive younger people, who have been raised on the lessons in games, to be too likely to assume that real world choices hew closely to those provided to them in games. Koster's view of the consequences:
Recently I had a discussion with a management and leadership consultant, and we were discussing the generational characteristics of Millenials versus Gen X in the workforce, and we were talking about how a gamer mentality may have affected the way Gen Y behaves in the workplace: more likely to follow the rules, more likely to work in teams, more needful of reassurance, less creative and risk-taking, less likely to see the full scope of irreversible consequences of a choice, and less likely to see things in shades of gray. In a way, these sound like thinking trained by games.
The ludic fallacy comes from the work of Nassim Nicholas Taleb who also popularized the term "black swan". The Black Swan theory describes events that are highly improbable and have a large impact (and that we, retrospectively, try to assume were predictable). Black Swans are particularly dangerous for people who have been trained to think they don't exist (frankly, that's pretty much all of us.) As Taleb writes in his book:
...we can easily trigger Black Swans thanks to aggressive ignorance-like a child playing with a chemistry kit.
By assuming that we can predict outliers (we can't) and that these events they precipitate are of no great consequence (they are), we allow ourselves to be lulled into thinking that our lives are run in the same contained set of rules that might apply even in an advanced game simulation.
The cure? My read on Koster is that we should consider throwing Black Swans into educational games... or all games. By creating a set of circumstances where student players know that catastrophic events are possible (if unlikely), we will, hopefully, encourage kids (and adults) to think more conservatively and more long-term when making their choices. Having to plan for the 100-year flood (or the 500-year flood) makes the player prepare for eventualities that they may never experience themselves. The student players are therefore made to consider their game worlds as places where the rules apply only 99% (or more) of the time--enough that they can't totally rely on them as models for reality.
The catch? Randomness is not fun. Sort of. Nick Fortugno and others have taught me there are appropriate uses of randomness. For example, randomizing the terrain of the game tends to work. Players must then make their own choices on this playing field. But randomizing the choices themselves usually is a miserable failure. Try playing a game where all your moves are based solely on the roll of a die, like Candy Land or Chutes and Ladders. They're awful, unless you're a four year old.
It seems, then, that the Black Swans have to be carefully inserted into games in the form of "terrain" changes--the sudden appearance of ridiculously powerful enemies, the total elimination (or tripling) of one's resources, the widespread reformatting of a game's map. They effect the field on which the player makes choices, without inhibiting or supplementing the ability to make them in the first place. The resulting choices will be difficult and victories will be rare and hard won, but the core of gaming remains.
These events also need to be real outliers, going beyond the single super-powerful card in the deck (which savvy players would be able to predict). For example, the "Your Parents Never Met" card in Chrononauts is an okay example, but, I think, it'd have to be even more unlikely than it is now. You should be aware, in the back of your mind, that something truly awful can happen down the line, but you shouldn't be able to count cards or analyze models well enough to predict it.
Will this work? Will it cure the Gen Ys (or, as they're known in Taiwan, "strawberries") of their reliance on limited game rules in real life? Will it still leave them with their confidence, their tactical good sense, their teamwork--positive consequences of game training, according to Koster? I dunno. But it's worth a shot. And, who knows, we might even... WAAARGH! THREE-HEADED ALIENS ARE ATTACKING!
The Mirror Playground
Kyle and I are playing with our new mirror playground.
Students can use the playground to test their theories about how mirrors reflect light. We can move and rotate virtual mirrors that reflect a beam of light, as well as add in as many mirrors as we want.
More to come:
angle indicators
removing mirrors
Color Mixing Game in SMALLab
We created a quick color mixing game prototype using the glowballs and some stock render engines.
The idea is to teach middle-school physics students about how combinations of light can create new colors. Players raise their glowball high or low depending on how much red, green, or blue is needed to match the color sliding down across the floor. Frantic but fun--and only about 20 to 30 minutes worth of work to put together.
Kimono Colors and Ludic Data
Play the demo!
Kyle Li and I worked with Julia Wargaski to create an interaction prototype for ludic data display. The dataset is from a student of Julia's who cross referenced the colors in traditional kimonos with the ingredients used to make them.
SMALLab on the Small Screen
The positions of the glowballs, and other information coming from SCREM, can be relayed to a little Nokia N800 palmtop over the WiFi connection.
Tracking is still a little rough, and, as I mention in the video, I think the IR cams are grabbing the N800 a little bit, so we'll need to keep it outside of the area--at least until the tracker is a bit more solid. Still, it should be a handy way to bring in another interface--and other participants--inside SMALLab. In fact, I gave the N800 to James in the office, and he could watch the movements of the balls through the wall.
I'm sure that's useful somehow.
3D Buttons and Sliders
Here is a quick video explanation of the HitArea and DragArea render engines.
The engines can track when a pointer enters and leaves them, and the DragArea engine also reports back the pointer's relative position--handy for sliders, etc.
Day Two Wrap Up: Tech Art Edition
Another fascinating day at DIMEA 2008. One of the keynotes, by the Greek artist Michalou(di)s, described sculpting using silica aerogel. It's an incredibly light insulator, but it also has a strange "immaterial" beauty to it, like looking into a cloud. Very cool. I also saw presentations on AI painting, biometric sensing art (right up my alley), and a very cool haptic device that rests on the nail of the finger, but makes the user feel like their touching something in the front.
Day One Wrap Up: Insomniac Special
It's about 4:30 local time--I swear I was tired when I got back here. Oh, well.
The conference is going really well. The presentations so far have been just fantastic--I've seen some great stuff for big games, locative media and pervasive computing. I was especially pleased to see Annika Waern and Josephine Reid present their respective papers--I've read about their other projects, so it's great to see the latest work.

FIFA 16 FUT is Extremely Boring to Play
I’ve enjoyed the past FIFA’s. Not because I’m good (I’m not) but I’ve had fun with it. This year it’s impossible to have fun playing. I’m being intecepted all the time bc everyone is using high pressure and if I’m not intercepted I’m being wrestled off the the ball when trying to shield it with L1.
I really regret buying the game this year if the only way to succeed is buying high strength high interception players to win. People are literally kicking the ball as far as they can upfield so that they can high pressure me, intercept and get a chance to score. Many times the pass from my defenders has hardly reached the recipient before it’s intercepted. Maybe a button that make attackers/midfielder/recipient of the pass go towards the ball in the same manners as every **** defender does would be in order because it’s impossible to move the attacker as fast as the defender intercepting. Tune down interceptions/strength and make it harder to pass again if you need to, the way it is now sucks.
Mind you I’m playing lower divisions. Better players in higher divisions may play differently.
anyway it’s a boring way to play and I can’t imagine I’m the only one who thinks so. If this game is only enjoyable by the better players I think FIFA 16 will not be very successful for EA.
My advice to people who are thinking about buying the game and aren’t really good at past FIFAs is DON’T BUY IT.
I know some of you will tell me to practise more. Spare me those comments.
My point is: it’s not fun to play FUT this year. I’m playing other players with mostly the same skills as me. I don’t think this game was created with us in mind. If I practise I’m sure it would help until I move up in divisions and again played against players with the same skill level.

FIFA 16 Ranking
Belgium take over the NO.1 spot from versus israel on Tuesday. The Belgians were third in the most recent ranking published at the start of the month, but with Germany losing in Republic of Ireland and current No. 1 Argentina losing at home to Ecuador, the win against Israel puts them in the top spot for the first time in their history. The victory put Belgium on 1440 ranking points, and even if Argentina win in Paraguay on Tuesday night they can score no more than 1429. Belgium were as low as 66th in the ranking in 2009, so moving to the very top in the space of six years is a remarkable achievement. The difference in ranking points was narrow enough that if Belgium lost at home to Israel they could have dropped out of the top three below Portugal and could also have been overtaken by Colombia. Belgium coach Marc Wilmots team euro 2016 qualifiers not despise him, as another reason for the victory, combined with Italy 2-1 win over Norway and Netherlands lose on Tuesday, winning Belgium for 1 finals next summer with France, and Spain, and Germany, England and Portugal the seed points.
FIFA 16 – Post Update
FIFA 16 has been out for a few weeks now and EA Sports launched the second FIFA 16 new patch update seems to solve some problems.
In order to make sure that the game is working as well as possible on the first day, EA have in releasing a game every year is that most of the foundation work has already been laid so normally there isn’t too much that needs to be done after the game’s release.
A long-term problem for FIFA, with a small tweak improving their positioning and rushing out.
● Signing Falcao may actually be the reason Martial wound up at Man Utd
● Reports: Klopp to rent Rodgers’ old apartment in Liverpool
● GRAPHICS: NBA jerseys reimagined as football shirts
Other changes to the game has looked at the FIFA trainer, a shot sometimes being called as a goal when it wasn’t, and kit clashes with the referee.
In Career Mode wages have been redesigned to be more realistic and there have been a number of changes made to Ultimate Team.
They are very minor fixes, but together they should help solve problem in the final team and they will surely good news for players toencounter these problems.

Guru Vidyadhara. A deity and set of scriptures belonging to the Nine Sadhana Sections. Often the Guru Vidyadhara and the eight herukas in the Eight Sadhana Teachings form a single mandala with nine groups of deities. The chief existing scripture for the teachings on Guru Vidyadhara is called the Root Tantra of the Assemblage of Vidyadharas (rig 'dzin 'dus pa rtsa ba'i rgyud) and is the fifteenth tantra within the Assemblage of Sugatas, an immensely detailed collection of teachings on the Eight Sadhana Teachings and associated Vajrayana material brought to Tibet by Padmasambhava and taught to his main disciple. The Assemblage of Sugatas was concealed as a terma and later revealed by Nyang Ral Nyima �zer. The practice of Guru Vidyadhara is expressed through the principle known as the four aspects of approach and accomplishment. The most detailed terma on this principle was revealed by Sangye Lingpa (1340-1396) and is still renowned as Lama Gongd� (bla ma dgongs 'dus) in 18 volumes of approximately 700 pages each. The Guru Vidyadhara is also the basis for innumerable sadhanas propagated by other tert�ns, for instance the Rigdzin D�pa cycle within the termas of Longchen Nyingtig as well as the Barchey K�nsel cycle revealed by Chokgyur Lingpa and Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo that are both widely practiced to this day [RY]

Turning electronic waste into gold
USP 8663584 : Method and Technique Employing a Novel Extractant to Enhance Recovery of Gold and Palladium from Hydrochloric Acid Media
YouTube Videos : Recovering Gold from Electronic Scrap
Dissolving Circuit Boards for Easier Electronics Recycling
http://newswise.com/articles/turning-electronic-waste-into-gold
Anew financially viable and environmentally friendly way to recover and recycle gold from electronic waste has been outlined by scientists. With lower toxicity, cheaper cost and quicker extraction, the team has discovered an approach that could revolutionize the industry and be a veritable gold mine, so to speak.
Foley, an associate professor in the Department of Chemistry, along with research associate Loghman Moradi and PhD student Hiwa Salimi, have discovered a new financially viable and environmentally friendly way to recover and recycle gold from electronic waste.
"We've found a simple, cheap and environmentally benign solution that extracts gold in seconds, and can be recycled and reused," said Foley. "This could change the gold industry."
The biggest issue with gold is it is one of the least reactive chemical elements, making it difficult to dissolve, Foley explained. The common practice of mining for gold creates environmental issues because it requires large amounts of sodium cyanide. Meanwhile, recycling gold from electronic scraps like computer chips and circuits involves processes that are costly and have environmental implications.
"The environmental effects of current practices can be devastating," said Foley, noting that the world produces more than 50 million tons of electronic waste per year and 80 per cent of that winds up in landfills.
What his U of S research team has discovered is a process using a solution -- acetic acid combined with very small amounts of an oxidant and another acid -- that extracts gold efficiently and effectively without the environmental concerns of current industry practices. In this technique, the gold extraction is done under mild conditions, while the solution dissolves gold at the fastest rate ever recorded.
"Gold is stripped out from circuits in about 10 seconds, leaving the other metals intact," Foley said.
Foley said it requires 5,000 litres of aqua regia to extract one kilogram of gold from printed circuit boards, none of which can be recycled. With the new U of S solution, one kilogram of gold can be extracted using only 100 litres of solution, all of which can be recycled over again. The overall cost of this solution is only 50 cents a litre.
With lower toxicity, cheaper cost and quicker extraction, Foley's team has discovered an approach that could revolutionize the industry and be a veritable gold mine, so to speak.
The next step for Foley and his team is to move the process into large-scale applications for gold recycling.

Method and Technique Employing a Novel Extractant to Enhance Recovery of Gold and Palladium from Hydrochloric Acid Media
Inventor: MORADI LOGHMAN, et al.
An extraction component enabling the concurrent recovery of gold and/or palladium selectively from a hydrochloric acid media containing the base metals and other contaminants. The disclosed extractant disclosed eliminates the conventional multi-step process for such extraction by providing for an extraction method which uses a single solvent extraction reagent. Further enhancing the conventional multi step process, the conventional scrubbing stage is eliminated by a single stripping stage. The resulting solutions can be obtained from leaching many types of material such as copper anode slimes, the treatment of scrap such as electronic circuit boards and plating effluents, PGM, or refractory gold ores.
This invention relates to a method and material employed for recovery of palladium and gold from base metals and impurities. More particularly it relates to a system and method employing a single novel extractant in a method allowing for extraction of palladium and gold from acidic media containing chloride ions.
2. Prior Art
Throughout the world, for centuries, their has been a continuing demand for precious metals. In earlier times such was desirable for decorative purposes and as a means to store wealth of regents. More modernly, in addition to decorative purposes, precious metals are employed throughout the world in products such as electronics. With the ongoing metamorphosis of countries like China into high technology manufacturers and consumers, there continues to be an ever increasing industrial demand for precious metals. The increasing industrial use, and increased ownership by individuals and governments during current economic times, has driven the price for precious metals to historic highs.
Mining of precious metals has become prohibitively costly and the minerals extracted by mining is unable to keep up with the logarithmic increase in demand. The above noted increased ownership and use, and the lessening supply from mined sources of precious metals, and the resulting high prices for such metals, has made the processes of recovering and refining these metals from other underused sources, potentially a very significant source, if they can be extracted and delivered at reasonable prices through refining and extracting of underutilized sources already existing.
Copper anode slime is one of the major sources of the precious metals. Copper anode slime occurs in copious quantities during copper smelting. The anode slime collects at the bottom of conventional electrolytic copper refining cells. This anode slime contains significant quantities of platinum group metals especially platinum and palladium. The slime also contains significant quantities of gold, silver, aluminum, zinc, copper, arsenic, selenium, tellurium, nickel, and iron.
Smelting firms are cognizant of the slime contents and conventionally employ a solvent extraction process to the anode slime to achieve a concentration, separation, and final extraction of precious metals by these large industrial companies. Despite simplicity and other advantages of solvent extraction process in precious metals recovery from copper anode slime, serious problems associated with the process exist which must be solved.
Major impediments to the reagent used in such solvent extraction processes of precious metals exist in the recovery procedure, including extraction and stripping rate, extractant consumption, and selectivity. Two conventional extractants employed in this process include Dibutyl carbitol (DBC) and di-n-hexyl sulfide (DHS). These are employed as preferred extractants to yield gold and palladium respectively in the extraction process from sources such as copper anode slime. Prior art has sought to solve some of these problems without significant success.
U.S. Pat. No. 7,291,202 describes the extraction of 1 mol gold from PGM concentrate by employing about 75 mol DBC. The extraction time using this quantity of DBC is taught at about 10 minutes. As taught in this patent, the extraction of gold with DBC from the subject material required five different stages. The process employed 2 stages for initial extraction, and three stages of scrubbing are then employed using 5 M hydrochloric acid solutions. This method involves problems, one of which is the large amount of extractant DBC used for extraction of gold for the ten minute time duration. Further, the taught method requires multi-steps for both extraction and for scrubbing stages. It is thus time consuming and expensive due to the amount of labor and extractant material that is used. Further, the conventional palladium extractant (DHS) taught for use for extraction of palladium to yield a molar ratio of 6:1 (DHS:Pd) requires no less than 3 hours of time. The '202 patent describes that gold disturbs the extraction of palladium with DHS. Thus for extraction of palladium by DHS, gold must be removed at first because DHS cannot extract gold and/or palladium simultaneously. Consequently, there is a major drawback of DHS employed as an extractant since it yields a very low extraction kinetic and is time consuming.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,284,633 teaches a new technique for separating of gold, palladium and platinum from the available material such as anode slime. This patent teaches the use of a single extractant, kelex 100, to be employed as the extraction reagent. However the '633 patent has some serious flaws also.
First, using the method and extractant of the '633 patent, yields a low extraction of precious metals using a feed solution which is employed in a high volume. The extractant consumption for recovery of precious metals from the taught feed solution used of substantially 200 mol of kelex 100 yields only 1 mol of recovered precious metal. Using this 200:1 ratio, the extraction time takes at least 2 minutes. Further, because the employment of kekex 100 also extracts iron to the organic phase at a taught ratio of 27%, it requires scrubbing and the scrubbing process in each stage eliminates a portion of the precious metals which are being recovered, from the organic phase (Au: 3%, Pt: 6% and Pd: 2%) thereby increasing cost from lower yields.
U.S. Pat. No. 7,597,863 teaches the utilization of sulfur containing diamide agents for the extraction of palladium. In the '863 patent, it is taught that 200 mol the extractant must be employed to yield a recovery of 1 mol palladium. Using this costly 200:1 ratio is especially time consuming as it lasts at least 10 minutes. The '863 thus has some major disadvantages since it requires a very high consumption of the extractant for the low yield, and it uses a hydrochloric acid solution containing thiourea in the eventual stripping stage which is conventionally not considered suitable for practical widespread application. Due to some shortages of the ingredients of this and other above noted extractants, costs are increased and production slowed.
As such, there exists an unmet need for a more effective and economical system employing a more practical reagent in the extraction of precious metals from sources such as copper anode slime and the like. Such a method should yield the highest amount of recovered precious metal with a significantly lower utilization of extractant than current systems. Finally, thus a system and extractant should significantly reduce the time needed for the process by the elimination of time-consuming scrubbing stages so that production may speed up and further lower costs by increasing valuable recovered precious metals using less labor and extractant material.
The noted shortcomings of the prior art are solved in the disclosed method and system herein. The disclosed method and used materials herein provide a procedure allowing for selective extraction and concentrating of gold and palladium from acidic solutions containing chloride ions. The system herein employs a solvent extraction process using the herein disclosed novel extractant. The disclosed extractant employs derivatives of dithiobiuret as a means to simultaneously extract gold and palladium from acidic solutions containing chloride and base metal ions derived from leaching of ores, catalysts, anode slimes or other such materials containing precious metals. The process is further enhanced because it allows for a loaded organic phase during the recover without a scrubbing stage. This one step process using a single solvent extraction reagent requiring only a single stripping stage eliminates the need for a costly scrubbing stage.
As will be seen in this disclosure, a number of improvements in the process itself and the extractant are provided by the disclosed method and extractant. Of particular note, the disclosed extractant is very selective for extraction of gold and palladium even when employed in the presence of contaminants. Thus the high percentage of extraction of gold and palladium (about 99.9%) can be achieved in one stage.
Also of note, the extraction kinetic of palladium and gold by utilizing disclosed extractant is much faster than conventional methods and works I substantially two minutes in many cases. This exceeds in the conventional DRS commercial extractant for extraction of palladium which has an extraction time of 180 minutes. Thus the extraction of gold and palladium with the disclosed extractant enabling the disclosed method is time and energy saving.
Further, the disclosed extractant can extract both gold and palladium simultaneously. This eliminates the conventional need to utilize different extractants separately for the respective metals and reduces the cost of metal recovery process.
Still further, due to a high selectivity of the disclosed extractant, the process does not require the conventional scrubbing stage. This results in significant monetary savings for energy and ecological benefits. Additionally ecologically beneficial is the fact that the disclosed extractant is very stable in extraction conditions and thus it can be re employed many times without significant loss of extraction ability.
Also, a high concentration of gold and palladium can be achieved in the organic phase without utilizing any modifier as is required conventionally. Because of high selectivity and high loading capacity the disclosed extractant can be employed in single batch method at an aqueous to organic ratio of 6:1 instead of multi-step counter-current contacts of conventional methods. Thus the amount of solvent used in the disclosed system is substantially less than systems using conventional solvent extractants.
Especially attractive to many countries and firms not having high technical expertise is the fact that the synthesis of the disclosed extractant is simple and the cost of synthesis process is very low, versus conventional commercial extractants (DRS and DBC). As such, due to aforementioned advantages of the disclosed extractant and resulting method, a significant improvement is yielded in both economic considerations, and economy, and it has the potential to revolutionize the industry of precious metals recovery.
With respect to the above description, it is to be understood that the invention and method herein, is not limited in its application to the details of construction and to the arrangement of the components in this specification or illustrated in the drawings showing metals extraction method herein. The disclosed method herein described and extractant disclosed, provides a novel one step precious metals recovery system, is capable of other embodiments and of being practiced and carried out in various ways which will be obvious to those skilled in the art upon reading this disclosure. Also, it is to be understood that the phraseology and terminology employed herein are for the purpose of description and should not be regarded as limiting.
As such, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the conception upon which this disclosure is based may readily be utilized as a basis for designing of other improved precious metal extraction processes. It is important, therefore, that the claims and disclosure herein be regarded as including any such equivalent construction and methodology insofar as they do not depart from the spirit of the present invention.
It is an object of this invention to provide a method and means for precious metal extraction which conserves time and yields increased production of precious metals.
An additional object of this invention is the provision of a precious metals extraction system and a metals extraction process which allows for a loaded organic phase during the recovery without a scrubbing stage.
Yet another object of this invention is the provision of a metals extraction process which is a one step process using a single solvent extraction reagent and only requiring only a single stripping stage.
These together with other objects and advantages which become subsequently apparent, reside in the details of the construction and operation as herein described with reference being had to the accompanying drawings forming a part thereof, wherein like numerals refer to like parts throughout.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING FIGURES
FIG. 1 is a drawing showing a dependence of gold and palladium extraction percentage, employing conventionally used extractants, such as DHS, depicting an extraction time.
FIG. 2 is a graph depicting the increased extraction efficiency employing the disclosed exctractant and method herein.
As disclosed herein the novel extraction component disclosed and described herein, enables a method of recovering gold and palladium selectively from hydrochloric acid media containing base metals and other contaminants. The novel extractant disclosed provides for a time and labor saving method which uses a single solvent extraction reagent. Further enhancing the conventional multi step process, only a single stripping stage is required wherein the scrubbing stage of conventional processing is eliminated as it is not required.
The extracting agents disclosed, employed by method disclosed in this invention, can form considerably stronger complexes with the gold and palladium than with base metals. The acidic solution containing chloride ion can be achieved by leaching a material which includes the desired precious metals, by adding an acid containing an oxidizing agent. The resulting solutions can be obtained from leaching many types of material such as copper anode slimes; treatment of scrap such as electronic circuit boards; plating effluents, PGM or refractory gold ores.
Copper anode slimes conventionally contain varying quantities precious metals such as gold, platinum, palladium and silver. Other contents includes copper, selenium, tellurium, lead, arsenic, antimony, nickel, iron, cobalt, barium, aluminum, zinc, etc.
In the precious metals recovery process herein disclosed employing the disclosed novel extracting agent with an anode slime, the process includes in a first stage of leaching the copper anode slime with nitric acid 8-10 M (2 times) for about 2 hours at 85° C., or till a solute is reached at least about 95% by weight of the silver content and efficient oxidization of precious metals, in hydrochloric acid leaching stage. Next, the leaching residue is separated from the lechate.
After separating the leaching residue from the lechate, the leaching residue is leached by mixture of hydrochloric acid and hydrogen peroxide to form a slurry. This slurry so formed, is then filtered to separate a leaching residue from a desirable leachate containing gold, platinum, palladium and other base metals. Oxidizing is then accomplished employing one or a combination of different oxidizing agents such as chlorine, perchlorate, permanganate, hydrogen peroxide etc. The use of HCl as the leaching solution and H2O2 as the oxidizing agent is preferred.
Following this adjustment step of the liquid characteristics of the leachate, a solvent extraction step is employed using the disclosed novel extractant herein. This extraction step is employed to extract gold and palladium from the leachate. The resulting loaded organic is then stripped with acidified thiourea solution, without the need for the conventional scrubbing stage of conventional extraction methods. This stripping yields a substantially yellow precipitate containing palladium along with a solution containing gold free of base metals which is obtained.
In this method, palladium is selectively separated from gold in a stripping stage without the need to use conventional multiple reagents. As described above, extraction of the precious metals by the method herein enabled by the disclosed novel extractant, thus is very time and energy saving.
One important enhanced feature of the present invention is that the employment of the disclosed extracting agent eliminates all of the impurities in the extracting stage without using scrubbing process. Palladium and gold are thus extracted concurrently from this acidic feed solution by using the single disclosed extractant instead of a plurality of extractants in the conventional mode of the extraction process.
Still further, the disclosed extractant is reusable at least 15 times after the striping stage. It thus may be employed for subsequent extraction of the precious metals from new feed liquors, without damaging and decreasing power of extraction method herein.
In solvent extraction techniques, single batch extraction and high loading capacity of the extractant have important roles. The results obtained from example 8, disclose that the organic phase employing the disclosed extractant herein, in the absence of any modifiers, can be extremely loaded with precious metals in a single batch process without the solvent becoming viscose. Consequently, the solvent consumption in the disclosed method employing the novel extractant, uses significantly less solvent and extractant than conventional methods.
The disclosed extracting agent used in present invention and method, is a new derivative of dithiobiuret having substantially the following formula:
In the above formula, R is cyclohexyl or isopropyl and Z represents a group consist of —CH2-, —CH2-CH2-, CH2-CH2-CH2, CH2-CH(CH3)-CH2, CH2(CH2)2CH2, CH2-NH—CH2-, CH2-CHOH—CH2-, CHOH—CH2-CH2-, —CH2-O—CH2-.
More importantly, this extracting agents introduced herein are able to form very stable chelates with gold and palladium which eliminates the base metal contaminants in the conventional solvent extraction process without needing to scrubbing step before stripping stage. Then in the stripping stage, the said precious metals are selectively recovered utilizing an acidified thiourea solution. The organic solvents that can be used in this process are including of polar hydrocarbon solvents such as dichloromethane, dichloroethane, chloroform, esters such as ethyl acetate, chlorobenzene and 1,2 dichlorobenzene etc.
The acidified thiourea solution used in this process can have an acid concentration of from about 0.5-2 M, more preferably from about 0.5-1 M of HCl, HNO3, H2SO4, that the sulfuric acid is preferred. Additionally, the acidified thiourea solution may contain from about substantially 0.3-1M of thiourea, such that the concentration of 0.7 mol of thiourea is preferably achieved.
Utilizing of acidified thiourea for stripping of precious metals from the dithiobiuret complex doesn't damage the organic phase in contrast to other conventional stripping methods taught reported in the prior arts such as hydrolytic or direct hydrogen reduction. The disclosed herein, single solvent extraction process which is combined with a single stripping stage and recycling of extractant several times will thus provide a means to decrease the total cost of precious metal recovery. Furthermore, the strip solutions obtained by this process can be treated chemically to recover gold by electrolyze or reduced with hydrogen or sodium borohydride to produce gold powders.
The following examples are given to illustrate the employment of the method and extractant disclosed in the invention herein.
Typical procedure for preparation of the preferred novel extractant: The 0.55 kg of CS2 was added in small portions over a period of about 1 hour to a mixture of 0.48 kg morpholine amine and 1 kg dicyclohexyl carbodiimide (DCC) in 6 L of methanol at 10° C. or less. The reaction mixture was stirred for 4 hours. When the reaction was completed, the precipitated solid was removed by filtration and washed with water two times. This product is easily recrystallized from methanol. This reaction can be carried out in water or solvent free conditions too.
1 L organic solution containing of 4.5 g new extractant in dichloromethane, was contacted vigorously with an equal volume of 0.5 M hydrochloric acid solution containing 2000 ppm gold in form of gold chloride (AuCl4-). After a contact time of 90 sec the phases were allowed to separate. After extraction, the aqueous phase is analyzed by AAS (Atomic Absorbance Spectroscopy). Based on AAS data, the remained gold in aqueous phase was about 0.6 ppm.
1 L of organic solution containing 15.3 g new extractant in dichloromethane, was contacted vigorously with an equal volume of 0.5 M of hydrochloric acid solution contain 2000 ppm palladium in form of palladium chloride (PdCl4-2). After a contact time of 90 sec the phases were allowed to separate. After extraction, the aqueous phase is analyzed by AAS (Atomic Absorbance Spectroscopy). Analysis of the aqueous phase showed that the remained palladium in aqueous phase was about 0.1 ppm.
1 L of organic solution containing 8.5 g new extractant in dichloromethane was contacted vigorously with an equal volume of 0.5 M HCl containing 10000 ppm barium, 10000 ppm iron, 4000 ppm aluminum, 4000 ppm nickel, 4000 ppm copper, 4000 ppm zinc, 4000 ppm cobalt, 1000 ppm gold, 30 ppm palladium and 30 ppm platinum. After a contact time of ten minutes the phases were allowed to separate. After extraction, the raffinate and aqueous stripping solution is analyzed by AAS (Atomic Absorbance Spectroscopy). The results are shown in table 1.
Metal (ppm)
Al Ba Fe Cu Zn Co Ni Au Pd Pt
Feed 4000 10000 10000 4000 4000 4000 4000 1000 30 30
Raffinate 4000 10000 10000 4000 4000 4000 4000 0.6 0 28
Stripping 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 989 0.5 0.2
Table 1 shows that gold and palladium are extracted selectively in to organic phase. The platinum and other base metals remain almost completely in the raffinate.
0.5 L of loaded organic phase containing 2000 ppm gold earned from example 2 was contacted with equal volume of 0.5 M thiourea solution containing 98 gpl sulfuric acid for 5 minutes at room temperature. The earned analysis data showed complete stripping of gold.
0.5 of loaded organic phase containing 2000 ppm palladium earned from example 3 was contacted with equal volume of 0.5 M thiourea solution containing 98 gpl sulfuric acid for 5 minutes at room temperature. After stripping a yellow precipitate was obtained. The palladium powder was recovered by calcining the yellow precipitate at 850° C. for 2 hours.
1 L of organic solution containing 3 g of novel extractant said in example 1, in dichloromethane, was contacted vigorously with an equal volume of 0.5 M hydrochloric acid solution containing 1000 ppm gold in form of gold chloride (AuCl4-). After a contact time of 2 minutes the phases were allowed to separate. The loaded organic phase was contacted with equal volume of 0.5 M thiourea solution containing 98 gpl sulfuric acid for 5 minute, and after separation of two phases, the organic phase was resent for extraction of gold from a new aqueous feed solution, and this procedure was repeated for 15 times. Analysis of final raffinate solution with AAS showed that the remained gold in aqueous phase is about 8 ppm.
1.2 L of a 1 M hydrochloric acid solution contain 13500 ppm palladium in form of palladium chloride (PdCl4-2) was contacted with a 0.2 L dichloromethane containing 80 g of new extractant said in example 1. After a contact time of 3 minutes the phases were allowed to separate. Aqueous phase analyses showed almost completely extraction of palladium in to organic phase. So extremely high concentration of palladium can be extracted in to the organic phase without the solvent becoming immoderately viscous and a single batch extraction can be used for efficient extraction instead of multi-step counter-current contacts.
Following mixing of 1.5 kg of copper anode slime (comprising of: 1650 ppm for gold, 60 ppm for palladium, 60000 ppm for copper, 700 ppm for iron, 450 ppm for nickel, 9100 ppm for arsenic, 80300 ppm for selenium, 9500 ppm for tellurium, 60000 ppm for silver, 10000 ppm for lead and other impurities) in 1.5 L of hydrochloric acid and 0.7 L of water, 0.5 L of hydrogen peroxide was added gradually to the mixture and the temperature of the liquid was maintained at 70° C. for 4 hours to effect oxidizing leaching. Following cooling, the chlorination leaching residue was filtered. The respective concentration levels within leach liquor were 1250 ppm for gold, 50 ppm for palladium, and containing very high levels of other impurities. The acid concentration of the filtrate was adjusted to 1 M or less, and lead and silver was precipitated and separated from leach liquor. Then filtrate was mixed with equal volume of dichloromethane containing 35 g new extractant said in example 1. Then the mixture allowed stirring for 20 minutes vigorously at room temperature. The two phases were separated and the respective concentration levels with in the raffinate solution were 0.7 ppm for gold and 0.6 ppm for palladium. The resulting data obviously shows almost completely extraction of gold and palladium from copper anode slime.
Following 2 time leaching of 1.5 kg copper anode slime said in example 9, with 1.5 L of nitric acid (9 M) at 85° C. for 4 hours, the residue was washed with 0.4 L of water. The solid phase after drying mixed with 1.5 L of hydrochloric acid and 0.5 of water. Then 0.5 L of hydrogen peroxide was added gradually to the mixture and the temperature of the liquid was maintained at 70° C. for 4 hours to effect oxidizing leaching. The respective concentration levels within leach liquor were 1600 ppm for gold, 48 ppm for palladium and high levels of other impurities. Following cooling, the chlorination leaching residue was filtered, the acid concentration of the filtrate was adjusted to 1 M, and the filtrate was mixed with equal volume of dichloromethane containing 25 g new extractant said in example 1. Then mixture allowed stirring vigorously for 20 minutes at room temperature. The two phases were separated and the respective concentration levels with in the raffinate were 0.4 ppm for gold, 0.2 ppm for palladium. The organic phase was stripped with equal volume of 0.5 M thiourea solution containing 98 gpl sulfuric acid for 5 minutes at room temperature. The earned analysis data from the aqueous phase exposed 1750 ppm for gold without any other impurities.

Solvent extraction of precious metals with hydroxyquinoline and stripping with acidified thiourea
The invention relates to the use of a single solvent extraction reagent which greatly simplifies the recovery of platinum, palladium and gold from base metal-containing solutions. The recovery of platinum, palladium and gold from acidic feed solutions which contain chloride ion is accomplished by first using a substituted 8-hydroxyquinoline reagent or a derivative thereof for extraction wherein a chelate is formed between the reagent and the precious metals. The chelated product is sufficiently stable to allow any base metals or complexes thereof to be scrubbed from the organic phase. The precious metal values are then recovered from the reagent by stripping with acidified thiourea solution.

http://ecogeek.org/2012/11/dissolving-circuit-boards-for-easier-electronics-r/
Recycling and reusing electronic components could be made much easier with a new polymer that produces a circuit board that will dissolve when immersed in hot water. The circuit board was developed by the UK’s National Physical Laboratory (NPL) as part of the ReUSE (Reuseable, Unzippable, Sustainable Electronics) project.
The circuit board material is hardy enough to withstand ordinary heat and moisture, but full immersion in hot water acts to release the components from the board. This allows for over 90% of the electronics materials to be recovered, whereas typically less than 2% of the materials on a circuit board are re-used.
Although this is not necessarily beneficial for the repairability of electronics, it could be a definite improvement in helping get a handle on the growing mountains of electronics waste and make recycling of electronics components and recovery of minerals an easier process.

Search And Rescue News from the FIRE Project
Water tough 10 days! RNLI launches H2Only challenge
Posted on May 22, 2015 by News Editor
No tea. No coffee. No fizzy drinks. No wine. No beer. No orange juice. This summer, the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) is challenging people in North East Lincolnshire to give up all drinks except water for 10 days to raise vital funds for the lifesaving charity.
sarn.firetrench.com
ftd.firetrench.com
The H2Only challenge runs from 5pm on Tuesday 2 June to 5pm on Friday 12 June, with participants giving up the drinks they love for 10 long days and drinking nothing but water throughout the challenge.
Kelly Blackburn, Cleethorpes RNLI crew member, says: ‘The H2Only challenge is extremely tough. We know that going 10 days without a morning cuppa, a pint after work or a can of fizzy drink will be really hard for everyone taking part.
‘Every pound raised is so important to the RNLI. As a charity, we rely on the support and generosity of the public so that we can continue to save lives at sea. So I’d like to thank everyone who signs up to take on the H2Only challenge. Please stay on the water for those tough 10 days to help us stay on the water.’
Everyone who signs up to take on the challenge will receive a pack containing H2Only temporary tattoos to proudly display. The tattoos, which have a seafaring theme, last up to 10 days – so participants can show off their exclusive H2Only ‘ink’ while taking on the tough challenge.
All those brave enough to take on the challenge can sign-up now at H2Only.org.uk.
Kelly continues: ‘I’d encourage people to sign-up with a group of friends or work colleagues and take on the H2Only challenge as part of a team. Just a like an RNLI lifeboat crew, they’ll be able to rely on each other for support when the going gets tough and they hit choppy waters during the challenge.’
Participants will be able to download the free H2Only app from Google Play and the Apple App Store from Tuesday 26 May. The app is designed to make the 10 days fun, with daily challenges being set and pictures and videos from other H2Only participants being shared. The Apple version of the app is also compatible with the new Apple Watch.
During the same 10 day H2Only challenge period last year, RNLI lifeguards and lifeboat crews saved 9 lives, with lifeboat crews launching 272 times and rescuing 289 people, while RNLI lifeguards attended 111 incidents and aided 189 people.
In 2014, RNLI volunteer lifeboat crews and lifeguards across the UK and Ireland rescued 10,083 people, and saved 460 lives.

[center In a world different, yet very similar to Earth, called [http://rp.eliteskills.com/r.php?r=148343 Ravensguard], Ceri was seemingly an ordinary high school boy, until he found out his family was hiding a big secret from him for the past 17 years of his life. He is a prince! But his family wanted him to live a normal unspoiled life so that he could think more like the people he'd one day rule. Not only is he a prince, but it is also custom for royalty to be married by the time they turn 18. With only a year left, his family is racing to find him a suitable bride. Even giving him his own place so that he can spend as much alone time as possible with girls until he could find the right one. News broke and spread quickly about the prince's search for a bride and young girls from all over the world swarmed to his place in hopes to win his favor. But since he was just an ordinary high school boy just the other day, this all proved to be a bit...overwhelming. He didn't have much experience with girls before and now suddenly he was being smothered by hordes of them. This approach was going nowhere fast, so his parents came up with an idea. Through a careful selection process, they would narrow the girls down to 5 for him, and allow them to move in with their son. And whoever catches his favor most by the end of the year, would be the one he'd marry.
Unsure of their son's tastes, the 5 girls were chosen to have very different personality types...]

5. The Cool Girl [B (Taken)]
[center 6. guy [b (Taken)]]
[u [size18 Type Descriptions:]]
1. [b [+purple The Shy Girl:]] Known to get shy around the one she likes. She might even get quieter around him even though she may be more talkative with the other girls. She may prefer being off on her own unless she makes a friend. She might cling to that friend and that friend only, but otherwise dislikes large groups.
2. [b [+purple The Bratty Girl:]] For one reason or another she doesn't know how to express her feelings to well. Usually she ends up being rude and calling the person she likes mean names to convince both him and herself, she doesn't have any feelings for him But when you spend more time with her and she opens up, you can see that she's actually pretty sweet and adorable no matter how much she tries to hide it.
3. [b [+purple The Flirty Girl:]] She is a bit more forward and isn't afraid to do what it takes to get the attention of the guy she likes. That could mean anything from sitting in his lap to trying to get them wrapped up in situations where he "accidentally" feels her up. She's gorgeous and she's not afraid to use that to her advantage.
4. [b [+purple The Moe/Cute Girl:]] She is usually the adorable and clumsy anime girl. Cheerful and outgoing. Always trying to help others before herself. Often takes up chores and responsibilities without being asked to and puts her heart into everything she does. She is always trying to make the one she cares for and everyone around her happy.
5. [b [+purple The Cool Girl:]] Good at nearly everything she does. Usually a dedicated and independent girl. She may have passion for archery or sports of some kind. Or maybe she's more of the artsy cool girl. One thing for sure is that she is very caring though she might be stubborn about the things shes passionate about. Many people admire her because she seems to have it all together, but what she might really be looking for is someone she could lean on.

Hobbies: Winry loves reading and watching movies. She's also a big fan of manga. The genre of all of these things are almost exclusively romance. She's a huge romantic but boys scare her beyond belief. She believes the only reason men are strong is to hurt women.
Background: When Winry was only 12 her parents brought her the boy they said she was meant to marry. She liked him a lot and thought he would be her perfect prince, however as she got to know him she began to notice how cruel he could be. He would yell at the servants and threaten to hit them, fire and execute his workers for small mistakes. When she saw this side of him, she tried to avoid him but he was too clever and caught on very quickly. During an argument, he threatened to hurt her if she refused their marriage. However Winry, scared out of her wits, stepped too close to the staircase and fell all the way to the bottom. Ever since then, any suitor brought to Winry would eventually demand a new girl to wed because of how impossible it was to receive any positive reactions from her. Granted, many of the boys where she comes from have very quick tempers. In a desperate last attempt to have Winry wed, they sent her to Ceri Lanman James world. Promising his parents of their riches and of Winry's capability to be a wonderful wife. She barely made the cut, but was accepted into the house.

Likes: helping others, cheesecake, horror films, enjoying others' company,
Dislikes: being disrespected, being yelled at, hates bullies, hates standing aside
Hobbies: drawing, riding her bike, spending time with friends, but peacefully watching funny videos on her phone
Background: Okiyodyu came from a destructive world called Sentiard. In this world, she was not royalty, or so she thought. She was orphaned as a child, so she never knew her parents or her heritage. Those that killed her parents are still looking for her and her fortune, hoping to eradicate her bloodline and claim her riches.
World: Sentiard was once a land of plenty and wealth. The world was perfect, there was never an evil sight to behold. It was modern, but it captivated the overwhelming beauty of nature. They live surrounded by jungle, with only one plain that stretched along to the Great Mountain. There, here people existed, coexisting with nature. There are magical people there, but whats better is their appearance. Once they find their spirit animal, they can shape shift and even resemble them if they wanted.]

Her father is the Fox God and her Mother is the Goddess of Music. All three children are kitsune but Braelyn is the only one who can transform into the Nine-tailed beast. When she was born she was chosen to be the next head god of the shrine. In the spirit world there are ten head gods on a council. Braelyn is supposed to take her father's place one day. The council was shocked that the beast chose Braelyn instead of the eldest son. It is taboo to have a woman as a celestial but they cannot go against the fates.]

- Woods/Forest areas
- Beaches/The Ocean
- Things that are soft
- Dishonesty
- Extremely loud noises
- Rough/Itchy textures
- Small, confined spaces
- Archery
- Parkour/Running
- Napping
Background: Because her parents are the chieftains of the Earth tribe in the world of Neahal, she is considered a "princess" or heir to the tribe, though she has several other siblings and the next ruler is determined through a big trial that tests a potential heirs' strength, wisdom, and capability to rule. Although Akira has the strength part down, she does not quite have the worldly knowledge nor the drive to lead a whole tribe of people. She is perfectly fine with that, preferring to roam freely and enjoy her days in peace and quiet. However, that's not what her parents had in mind for her.
Instead, her mother heard about what was happening in the world of Ravensguard and thought that sending Akira there might do her some good. Of course, they hope for her to end up winning the affections of the prince and becoming the Queen, but they also know that having her travel to a whole new world and experiencing brand new things would do her good. Maybe she would finally settle down her wild side and figure out for sure what she wanted to do for the rest of her life.
World: Neahal is the world which she calls home. The type of terrain is mixed, though most of the world is covered in thick, expansive forests.
Neahal can be considered "old-fashioned" since there isn't much modernism or advances in technology. They are aware of technology and there are some clans that are interested in that kind of thing. However,
almost all of the clans and tribes of Neahal stick true to nature and what resources that has to offer. Some are wanderers, like Akira's tribe, while others remain in one territory. Her tribe, the Earth Tribe, is considered the largest tribe of the world, having a few branches and factions that are spread throughout the entire of the forest terrain due to shear numbers.]
[center Prince]
[center [pic http://s1.zerochan.net/Akashi.Seijuurou.600.1718721.jpg]
Name: Ceri Lanman James
Likes: Hamburgers, Games, Comedy, Plushies
Dislikes: Horror, Studying, Coffee, Tea
Loves: Cats
Hates: Cinnamon
Traits:
Loves martial arts and is a former competitor. However, he's had to leave the competitve scene due to the change in his life. People started to go easy on him, hoping that they'd suddenly gain favor with him though it started doing the opposite and now he can't even enjoy his favorite sport without being treated differently.
Has come to play video games and be on the internet often in his free time due to how he's able to remain anonymous. He's able to be himself rather than be perceived as just a prince next in line for the throne.
Despises disingenuous people. What friends he had are no longer there, they changed after it was found out that he was a prince. They started asking and wanting things. Even using his position to try and take advantage of others. Even an old crush who he liked a lot has come back to him but he could see through her and feels betrayed by not only those he considered friends but also his own view on how he viewed others.
Constantly stalked by the paparazzi now because of the sudden release of him being a prince. Endless interviews requested. Pictures taken of him without his consent. Rumors about him being spread everywhere about his tastes, what he likes, what he hates, and such.
Wishes he could leave his position as prince behind and leave the nation forever. However, he is well aware of what position he's in. He is to be the next king after his father steps down. And because of this, if he were to suddenly up and abandon the nation, the government will be suddenly thrown into chaos, the people will suffer, and the nation will fall into decline.
He's constantly under surveillance. At his school, the staff are military personnel mixed in with normal people. Additionally, it's unknown for him if enemy's of the state are watching and possibly targetting him as he'd be the next person in power.
In order to keep himself sane, he has had to disguise himself at his school's club in order to partake in it. Officially, his club's president confirmed his leaving of it but an exception was made for him that as long as it wasn't "him" attending then he'd be able to partake. As confusing as it is.
His only actual friends now are the club president of the martial arts club and a blind, old man he met while sitting in the park. The old man doesn't know who he is, nor why he's talking to the old man. But because the old man is the only one who doesn't know his identity, he's able to talk to him comfortably. His family is aware of this and actually try to preserve this for him. Keeping the paparazzi away from the old man as much as possible and also providing for the old man behind the scenes.

Roleplay Responses
Okiyodyu grabbed the tuff of her pup's neck to stop him from colliding with the cat that jumped into view. She stood there, surprised there was a feline, and suddenly, it spoke into their minds...
[I [center Welcome to Ravensgard... I've never seen a WOLF here before, let alone one and a pup... Who are you? Why are you here?]]
Okiyo stared at the cat before realizing that perhaps it was the form that had him startled. She allowed herself to transform back into her fair form, while holding her pup. [I "I was summoned here... "] she said lightly as she stared upon him. She bowed her head, seeing that she had surprised him. She smiled some in reassurance before speaking. [I "I do apologize for startling you. I was letting my hair dry... And i have just found that my pup, Eutharian, had followed me here... "] she blushed lightly with a soft smile. She hated that the young feline seemed so apprehensive, but she also couldn't blame him. She did abruptly come and after less than two hours, were playing around in her form. It would only be a matter of time before someone would take notice.
She then sat her pup down to where the pup had proceeded to approach him, sniffing the feline a bit too closely. Before the feline could scratch him, she picked him up again. [I "No, Eutharian. We must be getting on... "] she said before setting him down again. Eutharian ran away as Okiyo turned to him. [I "Your name is... James, is it not? I apologize again. I am sure that I would meet your master soon, so I will not cause any more trouble. I should be getting in and unpacking. My hair had dried enough to where it wouldn't be such a nuisance "] she chuckled before bowing her head to him again. She then turned and started walking back to the door. [I "I am sure I will see you soon... "] she said before creating distance between them.
Reaching the door, she grabbed her belongings and opened it with a swing, and Eutharian scurried in, sniffing left and right. The young witch was still in the kitchen. Perhaps she successfully... She noticed the other child was gone. She sighed a bit. She did hear her ask a question before she was splashed. She wanted to answer her question, but she knew it would take up too much time to find her. She had to settle in to her room first before finding her. She hurried on, through the kitchen and to the foyer, then up the steps towards the rooms. There would be some way to figure out which one was hers. Eutharian ran to each door and sniffed, making Okiyo chuckle. The pup had a sharp nose. If it didn't smell like any other but a room, he would know.... Finally, he had barked in excitement. [b This room must be vacant...] She thought. She opened the door to find everything tidy and clean. Everything was in white, and in that she was happy.
She closed the door behind her and Eutharian, and went straight to the bed. Plumping her bags onto the mattress, she opened, and began organizing her belongings from the dresser, to the make up stand, to the private restroom. after which, satisfied with the clean atmosphere, she set Eutharian on the bed. [I "Rest here, Eutharian. I will return... You know what to do, love? "] she asked. Eutharian barked in understanding, and she chuckled before petting him. [I "That's my boy"] she said before stepping out.
Now that everything was in place and that Eutharian can take his nap, she began to wander about. Maybe she could find that bratty child and answer her question...

[center When Okiyodyu had finished up the dumplings, Miyah paused from helping Winry. Being a bit famished the short twin-tailed girl walked over to the table where the dumplings would be only stopping for a brief moment to address Winry quickly [#fc599b "Nnn...I'm starving, I'm going to grab some of those to get my energy up for the rest of this recipe. Be back in a sec kay"] the idol muttered and made her way to the table just as Okiyodyu was finishing plating them. [i Woah this doesn't look that bad] she blinked smelling the delicious aroma of the dumplings and grabbed a pair of chop sticks quickly scooping one up. Taking a small bite, the idols yellow eyes lit up from how good they tasted had before she glazed back over at Okiyodyu. [#fc599b "These..are..actually pretty decent, lady"] the idol complimented the woman in a low mutter, well as much as she could compliment someone, before offering the black haired Okiyodyu a tiny smile of appreciation. [i I guess she isn't so terrible if she can cook this well] Miyah decided as she went for a second dumpling. It wasn't really her fault for being so defensive and mistrusting of those around her. Nexus taught its citizens to trust no one, and to handle everything on their own. That and her parents had [i just] abandoned her the other night because she had no value to them. The people of Nexus were cut throat. But the reality of it was..all of that can sort of weigh on a person. Nexonians had emotions they were just supposed to hide the weak ones, but being that way is enough to make anyone explode.
Miyah looked to Okiyodyu curiously [#fc599b "Why did you choose to make these? Do they have some kind of significance in your world?"] The petite brat asked with a sincere interest, but Okiyodyu had been distracted getting splashed and then heading out the door with a handful of dumplings. [i Did she ignore my question or...just didn't hear me..] The idol glared away biting her lip. Just like home, what she had said went ignored. Her family didn't care what the idol thought or had to say about anything. Maybe that..was why she yelled at people from time to time. Hoping someone would hear her..just pay attention to her, care what she had to say for a change. Sure, her fans listened to her, but that was her music they cared about. Not her as a person. That's why she had to keep up a persona around them. Though, she was grateful still, someone listened to something that was coming out of her..even when the words were not always her own. That was why the idol's fans were the most important people to her. Because they were the only ones that seemed to care..at least on one level.
Clenching her small fists Miyah shoved back down her emotions as Okiyodyu went out side [i Whatever...it's not like I care anyway] the brat thought with a huff. Although it was obvious it did bother her that she was ignored to an extent, even making her a bit sad, as her yellow eyes briefly changed to a pinkish red color that matched her hair. She simply ignored those feelings and grabbed a few more dumplings in a napkin heading back to the kitchen. Those from Nexus, often tried to burry their emotions and hide any weak feelings from everyone around them, like love, sadness, or helplessness. But their one true tell was their eyes, as they shifted in color when ever a true emotion was felt.]

[right [pic https://i.imgur.com/2AMdJ38.gif]] [center By the time Miyah headed back over to Winry her eyes were back to their normal yellow color as the brat had regained her composure. Elbowing the blue haired witch the idol held a handful of the dumplings on the napkin out to Winry [#fc599b "Don't just look at them dummy,..take one"] the idol grumbled still looking away. [#fc599b "You know while it's hot..or whatever"] the brat grumbled in slight embarrassment. [#fc599b "J-Just so you have energy too, so you don't mess it up is all"] The twin-tail girl added with a shrug trying to down play the fact she actually went out of her way to think of Winry and instead tried to play it off as if it was just to make sure the hot cocoa didn't get messed up. Taking a couple more, she put the rest down on the counter on the napkin for Winry to grab at as she continued to assist the young witch.
When the blue haired witch mentioned That the idols music played in The Realm, Miyah's eyes lit up once more. It was very possible Miyah had even played there before. She had been to and performed in so many worlds, usually for a short period of time, that they sort of all blended in together. But still, knowing that the citizens of The Realm enjoyed her music and were even fans, made her warm all over. It was her passion after all. Anyone that enjoyed it or supported it couldn't be bad. Though hearing Winry's next statement about her voice made the small brats face light up. [#fc599b "o-oh..you think so? I...I've been training ever since I was a little girl."] She glared down grumbling and fidgeting trying to hide some of her embarrassment. [#fc599b "If you want, I could perfo-! N...nevermind."] The idol began with an excited tone but trailed off remembering that jerk prince was still a member of this house. And the last thing she wanted to do was be somewhere, where he could see her perform.
Winry's next statement maid Miyah pause though and glare away once again, her yellow eyes shifting color again briefly as if this was a touchy subject. [#fc599b "I used to..Most of my earlier stuff. But my manager said the kind of things I was writing...Nexonians couldn't relate to. That I needed to keep my music more simple. Or it wouldn't sell. That's when they started editeding my songs, taking out huge portions of my lyrics and replacing them with nonesense.."] she gritted her teeth clenching her fists. [#fc599b "After a while they were changing every part of my songs, until they weren't my songs anymore..taking out any part of them that gave them life!"] The brat spouted but not in anger at Winry. Just in hurt that her passion got lost somewhere in all of this. Shaking her head she glared back over at the girl [#fc599b "just..forget that I said any of that. Being an idol is important to me, all that matters is if my fans are happy"] Miyah stated as she went back to work. [#fc599b "Anyway, let's hurry this up already. My sweet tooth is killing me"] The brat pouted a bit as she awaited for Winry's next instructions.
[center [pic https://i.pinimg.com/originals/57/40/34/574034b51acc36df6f70b471d1864cc6.gif]]
[#fc599b "By the way, where did you even learn this recipe?"] The idol asked curiously as Winry grabbed the tissue and placed it over the mixture. Miyah's curiosity got a bit thrown off though, when Winry made mention of a spell. [i Wait a second..this recipe calls for...for magic?!] The short brat thought as a horrified look took over her facial expression. Winry didn't know magic and Miyah didn't yet have access to her own magic, so how the heck were they going to make this thing?! Of course, the witch had no idea Miyah also couldn't use her magic either. No one did. Because Nexonians magic worked differently then everyone else's. You needed to feel a certain amount of specific emotions all at the same time, including [i care] for a person inorder to achieve it. But the trouble was the people of Nexus refused to let themselves feel the necessary emotions to access that magic, so they often mutilated themselves to achieve it instead. [#fc599b "What I can't do that! I...I mean..because it's yours and.."] The idol began rambling [i She can't know. No one can know..that someone from Nexus doesn't have access to their magic. It's frowned upon. It's the reason my own parents gave me up. I'll be the laughing stock of Nexus! Crap. Crap...what do I do?] The twin-tailed girl searched desperately for an excuse anything that could get her out of this jam. Her hand was trembling under Winry's. Could she feel it? Could she tell?
It seemed as though she didn't have to give away her secret just yet though as her skirt pocket buzzed and began to play her hit single [https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=uY3wYksyLrw Freely Tomorrow]. [i Huh who the heck could be calling me..I thought my parents didn't...] Quickly the small brat pulled away. [#fc599b "I...er..have to take this. It might be a while. Regular hot cocoa will have to work for now"] the brat quickly turned away not wanting to see Winry's disappointed expression as she headed out the room to take the call. [#fc599b "I'll..be back in a bit"] Miyah muttered softly glaring down. Trying not to let the feeling of being a failure consume her as she brushed past someone in the hall heading in the direction of the kitchen. Too distracted to notice who it was.]
Miyah Nakano / pinkra01 / 2y 116d 2h 11m 43s
Ceri couldn't help but give a very light scoff in response to how those who assumed she was useless soon changed their tunes. While Akira's struggle wasn't humorous, the people who did look down upon her so suddenly flipped around to praise her. It was a pitifully entertaining to know that the stupidity of humans was still present.
[b [+6b6b6b "My apologies for that laugh, I just found it a bit relatable that humanoids and mortal creatures in general still make the same mistakes throughout history,"]] Ceri wasn't certain about Akira's race though assumed that she was at least a humanoid.
Ceri found a small bit of humor in it, though that soon faded as he remembered the quickly coin-flip that had happened not too long ago. Sitting in the chair and slightly bent over the metal table, he stared off into the forest, not looking at anything in particular and just having an emptyness to his eyes. A light smile on his face from the scoff fading away into a frown as the memories of school from the past month came back again.
Then he snapped out of it, [b [+6b6b6b "Again, sorry. I got a bit lost in thought there. And to know that you have magical powers, and more specifically control over one of the forces of nature is impressive in and of itself due to the many uses that it has.
To summon forth plant life is incredibly powerful both as a utility and a weapon of protection or destruction. After all, no matter what things man creates, nature and its creations will overrun it given enough time. And I hope your mother is in good health. Such a person is not likely easy to find when amongst the faithless."]]
Ceri got up from his chair and left the cup there as the blue fairies fell asleep in their bowl. The water no longer flowing as they rested after bathing and playing in it.
[b [+6b6b6b "It was a pleasure talking to you Akira. Feel free to do as you wish within the garden, so long as you don't destroy it. I won't be available soon as Monday is right around the corner, but between next Friday and Sunday evenings I'll be available to show you around Ravensguard if you would like to. Assuming that nothing interrupts that."]]
Taking a slight bow out of the garden, Ceri left and headed back to the manor. Going back along the path, he returned to his room and opened up his notebook and took out Ravensguard's equivalent of textbooks as well as a few actual books and got to work on his studies. Ceri wasn't the best student, but he at least aimed to pass at or a bit above the minimum. Though, knowing how the school's staff was like right now, they'd probably bump his grade up regardless of how he did.
Time passed by and Ceri finished up his studying for the weekend and took a look at what time he had remaining before dinner and eventually both gaming and then to sleep so that he could enjoy Sunday as best as possible. There was a good two hours before dinner and he decided to go to his closet and grab a few things he used for training. Going down the stairs and then over to a section of the hallway's wall, he pushed up on a segment and slid that piece up to reveal a buttonpad. On it were the listing of different floors, most being basement floors.
Hitting the button B5 another, larger part of the hallway opened up to reveal a hidden elevator. Entering it and hitting the button to close the doors, Ceri headed down. It was a short few seconds before the doors opened back up and revealed a large, white room shaped to be a cube with modified internals.
There was a balcony of sorts with a larger section down below with a few suits of different armor with wooden dolls inside. Each one large enough to compare to a normal human appropriately. Off to the left on the balcony was a changing room with bathrooms inside and a refrigerator off to the right. This was the training room for Ceri when he was at home. Heading to the changing room he changed into a more exercise-appropriate attire; a tight t-shirt and pair of shorts that ended just above his knees.
Changed, he then did a few stretches and headed down to the larger section of the room and then selected one of the dolls, one of similar armor and armaments to his own. The others disappeared and the chosen doll came to life, taking a readied stance as Ceri readied himself on the other side. Summoning his armor, shield, and blade, Ceri began to fight the training dummy with his free time.
Ceri Lanman James / Crow37 / 2y 116d 14h 17m 17s
[font "Century Gothic" Akira curiously watched the fairies and Ceri, watching how naturally they acted around each other. The fairies must be a common creature, at least in this garden, but quite possibly in Ravensguard. He explained that his specialty was close combat. Her eyes widened as he produced a longsword from the earth. Weapons tied to one’s soul? She had never heard of anything like that before. All the weapons back in Neahal were crafted by blacksmiths. Then he talked about “Peacekeeper”, which at first she thought was an odd name for a weapon until he explained the specific qualities of the weapon. It somehow didn’t seem possible somehow, to swing a weapon at someone and have it [i not] inflict physical damage, yet she could tell he wasn’t lying. There was a lot for her to learn.
Her eyes were drawn to the flowers she grew, only to see that they were being transformed before her eyes by the fairies that had shown interest in them. The newly created berries were then placed between the two of them. They liked her? Hesitantly, she tried one of the berries. It tasted savory in her mouth, pleasantly not-too sweet. No hint of poison or anything bad reached her senses so they were deemed safe. She continued to pick at them gingerly as Ceri continued talking, nodding in approval when he used her name. It wasn’t surprising that he led a busy life, but he didn’t seem to mind the idea of touring each other’s worlds. Oddly, she couldn’t help but anticipate the day.
After the prince showed off the shed of multiple types of weapons, many of which she couldn’t name even if she tried, Ceri brought the conversation back to her skills at archery. Akira paused for a moment, pondering how she was going to talk about it. It wasn’t exactly the happiest of memories, though it wasn’t traumatic either. It mainly left a sore spot in her heart that was hard to heal. However, he seemed very curious and she didn’t know how to be deceitful.
[b [#ce2500 “...I always admired the warriors in my tribe,”]] she began. [b [#ce2500 “They always looked confident yet humble, knowing how to use their strength without making a show of it. There were a few bad apples who would rather brag about their skills for days than uphold the honor of the Earth Tribe, but they were very few. I knew I wanted to be just like those warriors ever since I was a young child.”]]
Averting her eyes to the various fairies in the garden, Akira took a calming breath. [b [#ce2500 “Not every single person has magical abilities, but it is almost evenly split between those that do and those that don’t. Those that could wield magic, their special ability tended to speak what kind of role they would best fit in the tribe. Offensive magic, fighters; anything else…”]] She then stared up at the sky. [b [#ce2500 “My siblings each have incredible offensive magic that everyone praises. Me? I… can grow flowers.”]]
She tried looking over at Ceri, but a feeling of shame came over her which forced her to continue looking away. [b [#ce2500 “As you can imagine, I was mocked constantly by my siblings and some others. Adults tried to reassure me by telling me that I would make a good harvester, but that was not what I wanted to hear.”]] Suddenly, a memory flashed across her mind, one she couldn’t help but smile at. [b [#ce2500 “My mom was the only one that didn’t believe my ability made me any less capable.”]]
[center [pic http://s26.postimg.org/el1nsn2fd/Akira_and_Mom_past.jpg]]
[b [#ce2500 “She is the only reason I didn’t completely give up. I practiced each day, testing out different types of weapons. I can technically wield any, but I really excelled with the bow. It felt the most natural in my hands and I felt as if the possibilities were endless, so I trained mainly with that every day and night. Sometimes I received help from my mother or other skilled warriors, but I mostly trained alone.”]]
Taking a deep breath, Akira was finally able to look at Ceri. [b [#ce2500 “Once everyone saw what I could do, they stopped talking.”]]
Even though she rose up and beyond everyone’s expectations, it took a very long time for her to believe in the compliments that she received since quite a few came from the very same mouths that had told her before that she wouldn’t amount to much. She was bitter at first, but in time the ice around her heart thawed away. She didn’t have good relationships with anyone afterwards, but she also didn’t waste time being hateful of the past or the people. In some ways, she understood where they came from. Her siblings wanted one less competition for the title of chieftain and the people only wanted warriors who were capable to protect the tribe. The pain has never gone away, but it was much less than what it used to be.]
Akira / nomey1 / 2y 117d 19h 44m 40s
A few more fairies fluttered about, some blue ones this time that seemed to have a more literally fluid appearance. Ceri looked around and found a white, ceramic bowl with blue fairies drawn on it and put it on the table. The small creatures took to the bowl and laid down in it and it began to fill with the purest water. A small amount of it continuously fell into what seemed like a well that had a spout connected to it. Taking out a teacup, Ceri filled it up with the sparkling, blue water.
Ceri sipped the water for a moment, the refreshment was cool and held the essence of water in its most innocent and pure forms, [b [+6b6b6b "I'm not one to use ranged fighting equipment, it isn't something I'm particularly good at. However, close-quarters-combat is where I excel."]]
Using his left hand and holding the cup in the other, he held it over the grass and a small hole opened up, swirling with a violet glow as Ceri's longsword emerged from it. [b [+6b6b6b "This is my weapon when I fight. Most everyone in Ravensguard has a weapon that is tied to their souls. This one is called 'Peacekeeper.' It is no different from a regular longsword except in two ways: 1) it cannot lethally wound a person, and any strikes that normally would rather inflict unconsciousness or a temporary incapacitation; 2) It is summoned from a pocket dimension and will exist for as long as I live."]]
Ceri let the blade back into the void and it closed up quietly. [b [+6b6b6b "I have another trait tied to me, but it isn't a weapon. Also, do not mind the fairies, while they certainly can be nuissances at times, they will do no harm. You may have seen James, the black and white mustached-cat, they are his servants in a sense."]]
While speaking of the fairies, while distracted by the flowers, the Reds metamorphosized the flowers, turning them into several different red berries and bringing them to both Ceri and Akira as gifts. [b [+6b6b6b "And it also seems they like you quite a bit. Also, I have heard of Neahal, A-Akira,"]] Ceri stuttered since he wasn't used to calling girls by their first names and cleared his throat quickly to try and move on from the awkward moment, [b [+6b6b6b "Though only small fragments of information. And while you are in Ravensguard, you may spend your days as you want. I'll be attending a school somewhat nearby five out of the seven days in the week for several hours at a time. But during the time I'm not busy, I don't mind showing you the city and it would be an honor to visit your home.
Also, before I forget, while Ravensguard doesn't use archery all too much,"]] Ceri got up, putting the cup down and walking over to a shed, [b [+6b6b6b "we do have many other weapons, both for melee and ranged combat. Ranging from hand crossbows to high caliber sniper rifles. Though due to advances in technology, we mainly use the newest and easist to mass produce guns for most of our military."]]
Inside the shed was several different weapons. Guns, swords, crossbows, staves, hammers, warbows, and more lined the walls. [b [+6b6b6b "If you would like to, you may use any of these weapons here, though they're only training weapons. They cannot kill someone and have been magically enchanted to prevent death. Though that isn't to say you can't incapacitate someone with them."]]
Ceri closed up the shed's doors and returned to the chair, sipping his water, [b [+6b6b6b "By the way, do you mind me asking about how you became such a skilled archer? To be both accurate and elegant in your movements must have taken a massive amount of training. Even amongst Ravensguard's most elite soldiers it is rare to see someone of similar capabilities."]]
Ceri gave a light chuckle, [b [+6b6b6b "Even I have no reached such a level with my blade that I've had since birth."]]
Ceri Lanman James / Crow37 / 2y 119d 12h 1m 49s
[font "Century Gothic" Akira couldn’t deny that she at least felt a little relieved, if not a lot, by Ceri’s response. She was glad that there wasn’t some big announcement about her or the other girls that were living at the mansion. She wouldn’t know how to handle all that attention all of a sudden. So far, from what she could gather, the prince was a genuinely nice guy. He didn’t seem offended that she had aimed an arrow at him and he didn’t expect her to act “proper”. Maybe living here wouldn’t be too bad, after all.
His explanation made sense. When someone thought of a garden their first thought would not typically be archery. But hey, the equipment was there. Why not use it? The only thing she couldn’t understand was him saying that seeing someone handling a bow was rare. Was archery really that uncommon in Ravensguard? What sort of other weapons did they have for long-range purposes if not a bow and arrow? Maybe cross-bows? She couldn’t begin to guess, having lived a rather quiet life thus far.
[b [#ce2500 “You do not need to add anything before my name,”]] Akira said in reference to the ‘ms.’. [b [#ce2500 “Just Akira is fine.”]] Finally, she finished putting all of the arrows and the bow away. She walked over to where Ceri was sitting, tilting her head for a moment to admire the details. It was beautiful yet not in the way as if it were screaming at you to notice, but rather subtly. [b [#ce2500 “I’m from Neahal, if you have ever heard of it.”]]
She made a move to go sit in one of the open chairs, but froze mid-step at the sensation of something tugging at her hair. Looking up, she could see some small, winged creatures fluttering about her head; more specifically, the red flowers that were there. She had heard of these creatures before in a book, but couldn’t remember what they were called. Regardless, she didn’t like them bothering her.
Squatting down, she placed her hand flat on the earth. Her hand glowed a gentle shade of red for a second and she lifted her hand away. Within the next second, red flowers like the ones in her hair and on her dress sprouted from the earth where she had touched it. Gently, she guided the… fairies! That’s right. She guided the fairies to the newly grown flowers and their attention remained on them.
[b [#ce2500 “I know our world is not as… advanced as other worlds,”]] she continued, finally taking a seat, [b [#ce2500 “but I was born and raised there and I have no complaints. The wildlife is strong and so are the people.”]] She thought for a moment, wondering if she did have any questions for him about his world. [b [#ce2500 “I do not have any at the moment, but I haven’t been here even a full day yet so it’s too soon to tell. Personally, the best way I learn about anything is through experience rather than long explanations.”]] That’s when she got an idea. [b [#ce2500 “Maybe, whenever there is a free day, you could guide me around the city or wherever in your world you would like to show me. In return, since you have never left Ravensguard before, I could bring you back to my world and give you a tour.”]]
From the corner of her eye, Akira saw brown fur hopping in their direction. She smiled, though it only lasted for a brief moment. [b [#ce2500 “I was starting to wonder where you were.”]] Coco finally reached the two of them, first giving Ceri a curious sniff before going to Akira. She picked her up and placed her on her head, stroking her head gently. [b [#ce2500 “There is one thing I am curious about.”]] She looks at Ceri again, keeping sturdy eye-contact with him. [b [#ce2500 “If you do not partake in archery, what is it that you do? Do you have a different way of fighting?”]] She would be lying if she tried to say she wasn’t at least the little bit curious. Did the people of Ravensguard know how to fight? If the two were to have a fighting match against each other, who would win?]
Akira's archery was either a well trained gift, or gained through lots of hard work. Either way, she was an accurate and deadly archer. Even her sudden aim at him after his compliment was sharp. He felt the lock-on the moment the arrow was pointed at him. If she had let it fly, he'd have summoned his shield to make sure it was deflected in time.
As she let the bow rest and went about gathering the arrows that missed or hit, Ceri watched patiently, listening to her calm words. It was a very welcome change from the near constant chaos that had happened inside the manor. Her way of talking was not as roundabout, from what Ceri could tell, and was easier to understand when compared to the confusing ways others had used.
[b [+6b6b6b "There's no need to apologize Ms. Akira. You aren't required to be formal by any means while in Ravensguard. That goes for both when you're in public and private. If you were a publically declared diplomat or celebrity visiting, a formal front would probably be needed, but you'll probably just be seen as a tourist."]]
Ceri walked over to take a look at the bow that Akira had been using. It was interesting how she was being so accurate with a weapon as old fashioned as this one. Ceri himself still used a simple shield and sword style, but the bow had been long replaced in combat due to the evolution and creation of other weapons.
[b [+6b6b6b "And I was simply walking by and heard the sound of arrows flying. Not exactly a common sound to hear within a garden. Though I guess seeing the way you handle a bow to be rare as well.
"But, if you don't mind me asking, where are you from Ms. Akira? I haven't been able to leave Ravensguard since I was born and my parents seem to have visited many different realms."]]
Ceri took a seat in one of the metal chairs that had a sculpted floral pattern to it's steel frame, coated with white paint. He had given his full attention to Akira.
[b [+6b6b6b "Also, I don't mind answering any questions you have about my world if you should have any. When in an unfamiliar place, it would be best to gather as much information as possible so as not to get lost, right?"]]
It was a much more relaxed environment for Ceri right now. He saw Akira as a possible fighter and also enjoyed the garden while also allowing for a bit of literal distance between them, making it a lot less uncomfortable considering the other girls had been rather close when he had talked to them.
[font "Century Gothic" It was normal for Akira, while training, to lose focus on the world around her. This particular impromptu training she found herself in was no different. That was why, when she suddenly heard someone talking, she armed her bow with an arrow and immediately pointed it in the direction that the voice came from. Her eyes slightly widened in surprise when she realized that it was none other than the prince talking to her. He kept a good distance from her so it was not as if he came terribly close, but the suddenness still surprised her. Letting out a small sigh, she lessened the tension and lowed her bow so the arrow was facing the ground.
[b [#ce2500 “Sorry,”]] she said. [b [#ce2500 “Reflex.”]] Then she recalled what he had said when he addressed her. She took the time to catch her breath before responding, however. She did have quite the workout, after all. [b [#ce2500 “Archery is pretty common in my world. Well, at least in my tribe it is for hunting."]] She couldn’t speak for the rest of the different tribes or clans.
Normally, Akira would be at least slightly agitated if someone interrupted her during training. This time, however, she listened to her body and realized that it needed a break so Ceri’s timing unintentionally worked in her favor.
As she started to gather the arrows that were either dug into the targets or scattered randomly across the area, she asked, [b [#ce2500 “Did you need me for something, or were you simply walking by?”]]
She wasn’t necessarily one for small talk . Akira preferred to get to the point and be direct with her words rather than add extra for the sake of prolonging a conversation. This is not to say that she was [i intentionally] rude, but sometimes it came off that way to other people. Her father always wanted her to be more willing to sit through entire conversations, but whenever her interest was gone she would immediately excuse herself and not even think about how the other person might take it. Her sense of politics was… practically non-existent.
Her mother implored her to at least [i attempt] to be more proper around the prince, but just thinking about how to do that made her uncomfortable. She didn’t know what was the “right” or “wrong” way to say or act.
[b [#ce2500 “I…”]] she began, but hesitated. With a deep breath, she stood up straight and faced him square-on. She could not show weakness, even when in a new, unknown territory. [b [#ce2500 “Sorry if I say something wrong. Feel free to correct me when necessary.”]]]

[size13 [font "PMingLiU-ExtB" [i The ball room was glimmering and shining with lights that danced on the ceiling, women and men dancing across the floor, their magic's gathering under their feet. The winter ball was a time of joy for all royalty in The Realm, and all who attended felt each others joy spreading throughout the room - an almost hive-mind experience attained through the use of magic and taste of emotion. Winry was only a little girl, maybe six or seven years, but as an enchantress it was requirement for her to attend these kinds of things. She sat alone in a chair made of sticks and fabrics that hovered off the ground, little wings fluttering on each leg of the seat. Her puffy blue dress being patted down and flattened by her own hands. A gold platter glided towards her, powders, marshmallows, a teapot and a few other little ingredients laid upon it. Winry eyed the platter intently, her bored and pouty expression vanishing under the growing curiosity in her oceanic eyes. A man with long blonde hair pinned loosely back smiled, offering her a formal bow.
[#868A08 " Enchazra, sae losoro chazo laea melesia ? " ]
[size11 [font "courier new" Enchantress, do you like hot cocoa?]]
[#01A9DB " Mea Melesia ! "]
[size11 [font "courier new" I enjoy it !]]
[#868A08 " Mea sa chazo laea wesilio vo jut jut tae'valia " ]
[size11 [font "courier new" I know a special hot cocoa recipe that tastes very delicious.]]
[#01A9DB " Os'eria wesilio, pava ! "]
[size11 [font "courier new" Please show me this recipe ! "]]
The entertainer began by adding the usual ingredients, Winry watched his talented hands move skillfully across each piece of the cocoa puzzle. He explained every detail to her and to this day she hadn't forgotten one aspect of it. He poured the hot water over the ingredients, releasing the teapot to allow it to pour on it's own while he pulled something out from his pocket. A napkin? Winry looked confused, and met the eyes of the entertainer for an answer.
[#01A9DB " Panaskria ? "]
[size11 [font "courier new" Tissue ?]]
[#868A08 " Avek, Enchazra. Panaskria eme'nos pavalia pene strios tut -mela meravia. emios walara keeto. "]
[size11 [font "courier new" Yes Enchantress. An ordinary tissue, please watch closely and remember these words.]]
The entertainer placed the napkin over the opening of the mug, the part of the napkin exposed by the steam of the liquid dampening slightly. He placed a hand over dramatically, and spoke these words:
[#868A08 " jut jut vamos, jut jut vamelia " ]
[size11 [font "courier new" roughly translates to: delicious taste, delicious smell]]
Then, with the flick of his wrist, the napkin came to life. It circled around his hand and vanished seemingly into thin air. The cocoa was no longer a chocolatey brown, but a vibrant pink. Winry was amazed, she had never seen something so fascinating, nor tasted anything so delicious. She promised herself that as soon as she had a handle on her magic, that would be the first magic she would preform, to be able to taste that delicious hot cocoa again.
Unfortunately, that day never did come.]

Winry smiled to herself as she collected the ingredients around the two mugs. She hadn't tasted that delicious pink cocoa since that day, and she was very excited to have someone who she could teach the recipe to. [b [size12 [#01A9DB "Just make the cup the way you normally would, with the powder, milk, and.. well, some water obviously.."]]] She was still whispering, but the room was quiet enough for it to be acceptable, since it was just the two of them.
[b [size12 [#01A9DB "Y-You know.. Your music was played a lot at festivals in The Realm.. I know the other worlds don't know very much about us but, well, we learn a lot about all of you.."]]] Nexus seemed like a difficult place to live, hard headed people around every corner. The Realm was a lot more fragile and organized. The people there were much more poetic and romantic than they were violent. [b [size12 [#01A9DB "Um.. you have a very beautiful singing voice.."]]] Her cheeks lit up despite herself, and she offered a quirky smile. [b [size12 [#01A9DB "I was very curious.. but do you write your own lyrics? Some of your songs.. are so beautifully written.. I'm very interested in where you draw inspiration from... I-If that's okay to ask! You.. don't really have to answer me.."]]]
Winry had put her drink together and stirred it up, placing the teaspoon next to her cup, she hurried over to pick up a couple of napkins. [b [size12 [#01A9DB "The next part is where I really need your help-"]]] She sputtered, attempting to contain her excitement. [b [size12 [#01A9DB "See, there's a very simple spell that I learned as a child.. It's only a sentence, so.. It's very easy."]]] Winry placed the napkin over her cup, watching the center discolor from the steam being caught within it.
[b [size12 [#01A9DB "You just need to place your hand here -"]]] Winry guided Miyah's hand over the cup with the napkin cloaking it. [b [size12 [#01A9DB Then you say, [i Jut jut vamos, jut jut vamelia] .. and.. you're magic will do the rest.. Okay?"]]] Winry stepped back, watching Miyah's hand expectantly.
Glows / 2y 123d 7h 7m 19s
Ceri didn't talk about his family, he never had in the past since before the whole debacle began both Altair and Helva never told him that they were the king and queen. Rather saying that it was just a matter of coincidences, that their names only were similar by a twist of fate and that they were simple members of the guilds. Putting up an act so that Ceri would be able to experience what it's like to be a regular citizen rather than a member of the Crown. Even in the time before a month ago, all he'd ever said about them was that they weren't all that great of a family and his parents never attended any kinds of events where a parent or guardian would come to visit. In a sense, it did feel like there was a bit of a distance between him and his parents.
He'd never given it much thought in the past. Likely because they were almost always either in and out of his life or gone entirely. They kept in contact, but were too busy. In retrospect, it wasn't so much sadness as detachment.
However, while amongst his thoughts, Ceri suddenly found himself forehead to forehead with Braelyn. It snapped him back into reality, but he froze up. His face blushing as a natural response but inside his mind, Ceri had no idea how to respond. One part said that he should say something, another saying to respond with a hug, and all different kinds of responses coming into his mind to the point where his mind began to overload and Ceri became lightheaded and confused.
[i [+6b6b6b Why did she do this? Did I say something that caused this? What's going on to begin with?"]]
Ceri's mind was spinning itself out of control, however then he heard the commotion going on in the kitchen. A crash, a splash, and then some yelling from you-know-who. He broke contact with Braelyn without even knowing it, spinning his head in the direction of the kitchen and getting up. Then realizing that he was leaving Braelyn's company. Quickly, he turned back to her and bowed, [b [+6b6b6b "Thank you for the company during lunch Ms. Bra...Brae. My apologies but I have a bad feeling about the kitchen."]]
Soon he was running to the kitchen to see what in the hell had happened, a slight blush that was fading from his cheeks and Ceri now back to his usual facial expression as he opened the kitchen's backdoor. Inside he saw the chaos and put a hand to his face and just couldn't look for a moment.
[b [+6b6b6b "For the love of..."]]
Ceri let out a heavy sigh and walked into the kitchen, the first thing catching his eye being the toaster. It was all banged up and also there were burn marks around the area. This meant that one of the girls, likely because they didn't understand the technology of Ravensguard, had tried to use it. She expected it to work in a way similar to their world, and when it didn't she wound up destroying the mechanism. Ceri popped open the side of the toaster, the machine itself fine but the quartz crystal inside was shattered to pieces. It would have to be replaced, thankfully quartz crystals were the batteries of Ravensguard and easy to obtain. Opening up one of the drawers, he took out a few cylindrical quartz and put them back in. Almost instantly, the toaster fixed itself back up, looking brand-new and back to being a working toaster.
After that matter was taken care of, Ceri hit a button on the wall to signal that the kitchen was in need of cleaning by the staff at the manor. Once that was taken care of, Ceri stepped back outside and felt a need to just get somewhat far away from the manor, away from the girls inside who had just caused a bit of mayhem. With this in mind, he started walking along the cobblestone pathing to the further parts of the manor where the forest was somewhat thicker but much more plentiful in exotic and beautiful plants. Fairies of all different colors coming out and going in between the plants and making the garden into their own personal paradise.
As he walked about the garden, Ceri heard the sound of a bow being released and both the zipping and thuds of arrows as they were fired along the range within the forest. Getting closer, he could see one of the newer girls, Akira, practicing archery. Also taking some rather unique shots in addition to the traditional kinds.
Ceri watched silently as he walked closer until he was roughly 30 feet away but within talking distance, [b [+6b6b6b "Can't say I expected to find a marksman amongst the new residents."]]
[center [b - - - - - MEANWHILE - - - - -]]
[left [pic https://i.imgur.com/23eIUVJ.jpg]] After meeting Coco, James then moved on and off to another part of the manor's grounds. Giving the rabbit a bow before heading off and eating his berries as he went and greeting fairies left and right and occassionally lazing about in the sun and shade like the cat he is. Even giving his mustache and fur a bit of grooming to maintain his regal fur patterns.
However, while in the process of doing this, James encounters Okiyodyu and her pup. However, James isn't aware of how they're guests but does sense that they're not from this world. He knew that there were wolves in Ravensguard, but their magic was foreign and no animals lived in this garden without James permission. While he wasn't king of the nation, he did treat the garden like his own personal kingdom.
Getting in their path, James stood before both of them. While he was smaller in size by comparison, James demanded to know why they were here in his kingdom and let out a portion of his magic leak out. The cat's power was immense and to anyone who could see what was going on, it was almost as if a great and noble beast was before the two newcommers.
James wasn't going to do anything to these wolves, but would should they prove to be harmful to the garden. Into both of their minds, James welcomed them but asked them both what they were doing here.

[center [font "Arial" The vixen watched as the prince spoke about his life. It was alluring to watch how his feelings were clear as day on his face. She liked how much easier he was to read now that they had spoken a bit. Ravenguard seemed to contrast the spirit world in almost every way.
As Ceri went on to explain the hierarchy, he seemed to have to explain himself further on the matter of a cat being the most royal. It confused Braelyn on how he thought it was unusual for an animal to rule. Tilting her head she tried to piece it together. Were humans not equal to animals in this realm? In the Spirit world animals were usually very high ranking with the gods. Although her family ruled the foxes; they were treated like royalty by the other spirits. Maybe her culture was weird? She wanted to know so much more. [i [#009999 'Does this mean I bow to him now?']] Thought the raven-haired girl.
[b [#009999 "Does James do magic often? Castiel seemed to be leery of him in the beginning and I understand why now,"]] questioned the goddess. Here eyes resembled less of a fox and more of a doe. They lacked their fierceness and fire. It was replaced with a gentleness that most didn't get to see. She blinked slowly as she leaned forward on her chair.
[b [#009999 "And wow that is amazing. I am only a few decades old. That is another reason why the other gods are nervous about me taking over one day."]] Mumbled Braelyn. It was actually a touchy subject for her because the hostility made her home life a bit tiring.
Crossing one leg over the other, she placed one hand on her bare leg and the other picked at a sandwich. She could listen to him for hours and never be bored. Braelyn actually felt that way about all of the residents of the household. She wanted to know everything about the lovely people she shared her life with. She considered them more to be a family than rivals.
She noted the academics and material that helped his people. The spirit world was much more musically driven and swayed by the arts. It was quite intriguing to think about scholars.
Braelyn noticed a change in his demeanor as he spoke of his family. There was a sorrow to his tone that hurt the kitsune deep in the pit of her stomach. She wondered if they were close. What ate at her most was the idea of Ceri being lonely. Braelyn was constantly surrounded by interesting characters. She was always engulfed in love. Did he get to freely love? Frowning she reached out a hand to comfort him. But before they connected she pulled away. Not everyone was okay with physical affection which she respected. But it was hard for her not to.
But despite her efforts to contain herself, she stood up and rushed toward the prince. Leaning down she pressed her forehead to his. The way his eyes had fallen broke her self control. In her culture, this was the highest form of affection and comfort. Braelyn did not know how Ceri would react, but in that moment it didn't matter to her.
[b [#009999 "Don't be sad Ceri"]] She whispered.

Okiyodyu let Miyah say her piece. She had already pegged her for the boastful type, and she started yelling at her about her momentary clumsiness. She shook her head as she she started talking about her so called career. She tilted her head some. [I "Pop idol, huh? Its funny, I've never heard of you... "] she said. In Sentiard, idols weren't idolized as other lands would. Instead, they are treated like everyone else, aside from the events and privileges. She was important in her land, and this is Ravensgard, so she knew her opinion wasnt shared on the matter. From the sounds of it and the smell of the semi-expensive perfume, she came from Nexus. She had only traveled there once or twice, only to visit her schooling friends. They always described idols, but she never shown interest in pop idols. They only cared about themselves, and she, for one, wasn't going to start now to be star struck. [I "... So... Do you want to eat or not? "] she asked, completely ignoring the tantrum she did about herself.
Then, the girl began to realize what happened. It took her long enough, but Okiyo accepted the fact that she did just come out of nowhere on her, and it was possible that she could've scared the kid. She noticed the kid demeanor change slightly, to where she was holding the hem of her skirt... Then, she asked the oddest thing...
[I [b "I-Is there something sweet from your home world you liked to eat..I guess I'm sort of curious about trying new sweets"]]
Okiyodyu turned to her with a slightly confused look on her face. Sweets? Of course she knew how to make sweets. It was one of her special hobbies, one she rarely done for anyone... Except one, but... She was about to answer, when a voice sounded.
As if on cue, another girl, a child with florescent blue hair distracted her. She could smell that she was a young witch, and smirked when she allowed herself in and asked the other young one if she wanted to help her make something. Thing was, Okiyo could tell that wasn't going to end well either. Though she was a witch, she was what her people called a peakling, and had no idea to control her abilities just yet. Okiyo saw that the idol eagerly accepted the help and the young witch scampered about, looking for mugs. Okiyo began putting together ingredients to make her special dumplings. All the young ones in her home town loved these dumplings, she figured it could be good for this occasion... Just this once.
Besides, she had to keep an eye on those two...
After about thirty minutes, she made three dozen dumplings. The girls were yet to be successful in making the coco as she took a seat. The young witch, Winry she heard, was excited about making coco. Unfortunately, as Okiyo observed from afar, she noticed that the girl wasn't going to do anything but make a storm of a mess, perhaps bigger than the idol had done. After setting the dumplings to the table, she went to the girls, wondering how far they were. [I "Are you guys alri-"] Something happened to where she startled the young one, and was splashed. She gasped, yelped the only way she knew. She did pick a bad time to see what they were up to. Obviously, they weren't ready with the coco.
Okiyodyu shook her head and stepped back. [I "Rest of the dumplings are on the table... You guys can have it... "] she grunted through her teeth. After giving them the rest of the dumplings, she took six dumplings and left two dozen, and took the opportunity to exit to the back. Okiyo sighed at the fresh air and looked around... She finished her dumplings quickly enough, feeling the water drip from her jet black hair. Then, as sge finished her last dumpling, she saw him... Her wolf cub that had found her before she was summoned. She smiled and knelt as the pup raced across the yard to be embraced by her. She chuckled as she looked to him, and petted him. [I "Eutharian... I knew you were here"] she felt him tug at her. She knew he wanted to go home. [I "I can't yet... Besides, I've been summoned here... "]
The cub kept tugging at her. The cub had wanted her to play. She smiled and nodded. [I "Alright, alright, Eutharian... I will play"] With that, she closed her eyes, blanked out her mind, and thought of being free... Within a few seconds, she transformed into a graceful wolf, a silver wolf had took the place of the human, and the cub was far too excited to stay still.

[center Miyah had grabbed some towels but it wasn't for the toaster. It was to handle the hot water for the cocoa since she couldn't find any mits to prevent herself from getting burned. The brat couldn't careless if that jerk Prince's appliances got busted, he was loaded and could buy a bunch more if he wanted, right? The short girl had nearly slipped as she made her way back, which annoyed her since she wasn't exactly clumsy. In fact, because she was a famous pop star she ordinarily had great control over her balance, and moved flawlessly about the stage and in practice. So how the heck did it happen. Glaring down she saw water on the floor. [i What the heck, what idiot spilt water everywhere] The idol thought before she glanced up realizing she had been hanging in mid air, having been caught by some taller strange woman. Blinking the petite girl regain her balence and rudely waved the woman off of her. [#fc599b "I wouldn't have to pay attention if some baka didn't throw water all over the floor!"] The idol barked back at her. [#fc599b "And I'm not some dumb kid, I'm the famous pop Idol from Nexus, Miyah Nakano!"] The brat clenched her fists at her side puffing out her cheeks. It was possible Okiyodyu had heard of her since the celebrities from the world of Nexus were so popular they perform in many other worlds and had quite a large following, even in Ravensguard.
Miyah's face was all over music and teen magazines and out of all the celebrities to hail from Nexus, she was certainly the most famous and loved. The brat glared up at the woman and huffed in frustration. Despite being from the terrifying and powerful world, Nexus, she didn't look the slight bit harmful. But she had all the attitude that came with the citizens of the great world of Nexus, that was for sure. When the woman asked what she wanted, the girl rolled her eyes [#fc599b "I don't have to spill anything..looks like someone already did"] the idol grumbled rudely referring to the water on the floor. But after a moment the short girl looked around realizing the toaster was no longer a flame and the smoke had been cleared out and it suddenly clicked in her head why their was water on the floor. [i Jeez..I didn't know it got that bad..I thought it was just smoke..] Miyah thought realizing the black haired woman had simply been trying to put it out. She probably cut the scolding level from the idiot prince in half for her. [#fc599b "What a pain..."] The idol sighed softly and grabbed at the edge of her skirt. [#fc599b "I..I...guess I see why you did it now, lady."] The short girl grumbled lowly glaring away from her and blushed in slight irritation and embarrassment admitting she snapped a little too quick.
[#fc599b "B-But don't think I'm grateful or..anything that you helped me!"] Miyah added, though it was obviously just a front. She was grateful. But Nexonians didn't rely on anyone for help. They were too prideful to ever admit they needed it. Hearing her stomach growl mid sentence, she huffed a little and fidgeted before Okiyodyu. [#fc599b "I..I guess something sweet...would work..."] the idol mumbled lower and lower. [#fc599b "Please..."] Miyah nearly whispered the word to the woman, just making sure no one heard her actual sweet side come out but Okiyodyu, as to keep an image of a serious citizen of Nexus. Though she wasn't aware most people could see right through her. [#fc599b "I-Is there something sweet from your home world you liked to eat..I guess I'm sort of curious about trying new sweets"] she spoke trying to not seem as interested as she was. Miyah loved sweets, which didn't help her look like any less of a kid. But she couldn't help how happy they made the brat, mostly because her strict diet as a pop idol prevented her from eating very many of them.]
[center [pic https://orig02.deviantart.net/b05c/f/2013/288/3/a/cherry_blossom_divider_by_cherushimetsumari-d6qlwh4.gif]]
[center Though a few moments later Miyah turned her head to see the blue haired female enter the kitchen. [i Oh yeah, the girl who can't do magic yet...like me] The idol thought bracing herself a bit as the timid girl walked by them. [#fc599b "Winry..right?"] The petite girl thought out loud attempting to remember the girl's name from when they had met at dinner the previous night. [#fc599b "Watch your step, there's water on the ground"] The brat grumbled to warn Winry before glaring back over at Okiyodyu but this time Miyah had a glint in her eye that made it clear she was teasing the woman and not actually trying to be completely rude this time. The black haired woman did save her backside from hitting the ground after all, so ultimately it wasn't like she got hurt, that and she was helping clean, it was only her Nexus pride took a small blow. And her balance skills as a performer.
Hearing Winry mention her world's hot cocoa recipe, Miyah got an excited look in her eye. [#fc599b "Hot cocoa from a different world?!"] The idol bounced a bit in excitement and moved over to the blue haired girl, though quickly regained her composure [#fc599b "O-Okay..I mean.. I guess I'll help...I guess"] The short girl grumbled softly. [#fc599b "Where do we start?"] Miyah's yellow eyes locked on the other girl as her curiosity grew.]
Miyah Nakano / pinkra01 / 2y 125d 23h 23m 26s
[font "Century Gothic" Akira was pulled out of her curious daze when she heard someone approach coming from the direction of the mansion. Glancing over her shoulder, she realized it was that Miyah girl once again. She found it a little surprising to see her again so soon, but didn't necessarily mind. Carefully, she stood up in order to address the small girl properly. She didn’t notice the healthy fur of Coco that she just mentioned, huh? Why would someone feel self-conscious about liking animals? It seemed perfectly natural to her.
[b [#ce2500 “Her name is Coco,”]] she responded.
Akira then looked in the direction that she was talking about, the one that supposedly lead to a garden. Her eyes lit up at what it could possibly look like and what it contained. Her eyes lit up, the only visible indication of her excitement. Coco would definitely enjoy the carrots and other fruits or vegetables it might have to eat.
[b [#ce2500 “Thank you for the info,”]] she said as she looked back at Miyah, though tensed when the girl started to look her up and down. Did she look odd? What was running through the girl’s mind? Was she trying to assess how strong she was?
Seemingly out of nowhere, the prince was mentioned. At least, that is all Akira could assume the girl was meaning since she constantly called him by insulting names. She looked down at her outfit. [b [#ce2500 “These clothes are easy to move around in and bare feet make it easier to climb certain obstacles.”]] Though maybe it was odd to remain bare-footed for so long in this world. Akira wouldn’t have to climb anything soon so she decided to comply this one time and slipped on her cloth shoes. She was going to say something else when the girl mentioned how she would probably look good in Ravensguard clothing. [b [#ce2500 “Uh…”]] She didn’t know what to say in those kind of moments. Akira was always awkward about receiving compliments, since she couldn’t tell if it was mere flattery or honesty. Instead of saying anything, she bowed her head in thanks.
Akira watched Miyah leave, in search of food, and agreed to let the girl know if Coco liked the carrots. Speaking of that rabbit… Looking around, she spotted brown fur hopping closer to the garden, right around where the cat was still at. She noticed what appeared to be staff of the mansion bowing in respect towards the animal. An eyebrow arched in curiosity. Were all creatures of this world shown such respect, or was he no ordinary creature? She would have to inquire about the cat later.
[center [pic https://s26.postimg.org/ys45z1edl/Coco_Akira.png]]
Crimson eyes grew wide at the sight before them. The flowers were blooming brilliantly, looking to be in great health. Whoever was in charge of the area did a wonderful job. The edible foods seemed to be just about ripe for the picking, as the cat demonstrated to Coco through magic. Akira watched cautiously as Coco took a bit of the berries offered to her. When she didn’t immediately become ill, it was confirmed that the berries were safe to eat. She found some carrots and picked one for Coco.
[b [#ce2500 “You didn’t eat anything this morning. Make sure to have your fill now.”]]
Coco was ecstatic, bouncing in circles around the food, James, and Akira. If anyone loved food more than Akira, it would most definitely be Coco. The bunny eagerly began to eat her food, though paced herself so as to not make herself sick. With a small smile, Akira left her to her own devices.
Further into the garden, she found what looked like large, round pieces of wood placed on stands that was covered in painted-on rings. Nearby, a variety of different bows and quivers filled with arrows were neatly placed in some kind of order. Did someone at the mansion practice archery? She was happy that archery was not a foreign concept in Ravensguard since it was her main weapon of choice back in Neahal. It was her hobby and main way of hunting. She was one of the best archers out of everyone in the Earth Tribe. She helped herself to a bow, testing out the string and tightening it a bit. Instead of picking up a quiver, she grabbed four arrows and held them in her open hand.
Standing a good distance from the targets, Akira placed her feet so they were firmly planted against the earth. Closing her eyes, she focused her energy in the task at hand. Slowly, all the sounds and smells around her seemed to vanish. Then, with remarkable speed, her eyes snapped open. In quick succession, each arrow was launched from the string of the bow onto all four targets that were available on the field. All four arrows landed directly in the center of the targets.
Akira grabbed more arrows, having some scattered across the ground and others in her hand. She shot some arrows, rolled across the ground, picked up arrows and shot some more, then with the final arrow she did a flip in the air and shot and arrow while upside down in the air. When she landed on her feet, she looked over at the targets to assess her work. Only one arrow had hit the side of the target rather than the center.
[b [#ce2500 “Not good enough.”]]
So Akira went again, giving herself different challenges each time and testing out what she could and could not do. It would be nice if they had moving targets as well, but she was perfectly fine working with what was available.]

[center [size13 [font "PMingLiU-ExtB" Winry nodded, her timid expression glimmering with hope and excitement. She had been so worried about meeting everyone here, thankfully there was one girl at least who she could talk to as a friend. She touched at the flower design on the chest of her shirt , smiling happily as she left the room.
[center [pic https://orig00.deviantart.net/11f8/f/2012/272/2/a/cuteblueplz_by_simplysilent-d5gaw1j.gif]]
Winry's bare feet padded against the marble floor as she made her way down the stairs to the foyer of the mansion, a finger touching idly at her lower lip in contempation. If she was going to be here for an entire year, she would need to create a comfort zone. Right now her bedroom was too dull and too empty. She needed to fill it with things she loved. Flowers especially, as she was very interested in what kind of creatures would settle at her window in Ravensguard. She didn't know the area very well, but it couldn't be that hard to get around. Winry was in a good mood now, she would get something for lunch, get ready, and go!
Wait, what was.. that smell? Winry's nose wrinkled in displeasure, why did it smell like fire? It only took walking into the kitchen for to realize the toaster was smoldering. She eyed the two girls cautiously, did one of them try to set the house on fire? She analyzed the situation closely, deciding if she needed to run or not.
She didn't.
The other two girls seemed to be more or less ignoring the smoke as it [right [pic https://image.ibb.co/emX765/tea.gif]]drifted slowly out the opened window, so Winry decided to do the same. Clearing her throat slightly, she came up beside Miyah, who was fiddling with a pack of hot cocoa mix. Immediately, Winry lit up, her timid frame tensing as she touched at the tea-pot. [b [#01A9DB [size12 "I-I know a very good recipe from home.. Will you help me make it?"]]] She asked in her usual translucent tone. Little would Miyah know that this Recipe did require a hand in magic. Witches used magic for nearly every simple task after all, they claim it makes the world and the air around them more beautiful. Winry envied witches who could use magic as they pleased. Thinks like spells for cooking, cleaning, and personal care were acceptable for any witch or warlock to learn, no matter what color their hair was. It was only larger scale magic that had to be organized between them.
Winry had begun filling the tea-pot with water, pushing her chest and stomach out in an attempt to still the wobbling pot against her while she [left [pic https://image.ibb.co/mbyrYk/chocoz.gif]]held the handle. She placed it with some effort onto the stove and set the temperature, spinning around purposefully, she went for the mugs next. Winry, with two mugs in hand, paused and glanced at the beautiful woman with the black hair. Then, grabbed a third mug, clunking the three down onto the counter, she waved a hand towards Miyah [b [#01A9DB [size12 "Come, I'll show you!"]]]

Analyzing ecommerce; Amazon vs. Alibaba
Rubber Duck World – Analyzing e-commerce websites
Comprehensive Guide on e-commerce
The eCommerce phenomenon is defining both the present and future success of any business; small or big. Small or large businesses can leverage on eCommerce for prosperity; particularly small business success can be achieved through eCommerce. The tales of Amazon and Alibaba are a great illustration of just what leveraging eCommerce can do in growing small businesses to such world giants. To begin with; let us get to briefly know who Amazon and Alibaba are in eCommerce.
Unique business models; selling
software vs. selling stuff
Both Amazon and Alibaba are renowned pure ecommerce websites but with very distinct business models; Amazon massively retails both new and used goods while Alibaba operates as a middle man between sellers and buyers offering a website where the two meet.
Amazon sells its goods and services directly to its customer base with the goods stored in Amazon’s large network of warehouses. Most customer’s view of Amazon is that of readily available stocks with relatively low prices. Amazon also allows other retailers to use its platform in selling their products and Amazon gets its commission by retaining a given percentage of the sales. Amazon also has a subscription based business model dubbed Amazon Prime. With Amazon prime, customers pay an annual subscription fee which secures for them a two-day or one-day free shipping for their eligible products. In addition, such customers can access streaming media like digital music and movies. Amazon also generates its revenues through selling its e-reader, kindle, eBooks, and mobile applications for kindle readers.
While Amazon dominates the US eCommerce market, Alibaba commands a whole 84% market share in China. While Alibaba has several other businesses, its core business is that of a middle man; connecting buyers and sellers through its vast network of websites. Its largest website, Taobao, is a marketplace that does not charge for either buying or selling. The more than 7 million active sellers on Taobao pay a fee to be ranked higher on the website’s internal search engine. This helps generate huge advertising revenues; more or less what google does. Taobao majorly caters for smaller business merchants. Tmall on the other hand carters for the well-known brands like Nike, GPS, and Apple. It also provides complementary financial services to its eCommerce business.
It is important to note that of the two companies, Alibaba operates a more lean structure as it is software based while Amazon has to deal with logistical challenges that may inflate its expenditure.
Alibaba is a very strong China ecommerce website with more than 80% Chinese market share which translates to 423 million active buyers annually. Amazon on the other hand exists in a crowded ecosystem with about 30% market share of the US market. In this sense, Alibaba seems to be ahead and Amazon has to put more efforts in either increasing its local footprint or even in expanding globally. And while the Chinese economy has been showing signs of fatigue; Alibaba’s performance has continued to be strong both locally and now globally. Alibaba has continued to expand into remote towns to increase its local foot print.
A face off for the global markets?
Just a week after Daniel Zhang was named as the new CEO of Alibaba, he mentioned that accessing international markets was top on their list. Amazon too is seeking international expansion. Amazon is already present in China through its retailing website and has a presence in Alibaba’s Tmall. The Launch of its ‘Prime’ product is geared at penetrating the China market further. It however faces a hard to crack China market even with all the above strategies in place. The China based giant on the other hand has ventured into the US and other global markets. Through its recent cloud expansion strategy, it has launched heavy investment in cloud infrastructure.
An interesting drama is however playing in Southeast Asia; Alibaba vs. Amazon for over 600 million customers. And although internet shopping only accounts for 5% all retail in the region, the two giants see more growth opportunities in the region particularly as we see a continued growth in mobile technology. Amazon is set to launch January 2017 while Alibaba is already investing in acquisitions of financial money transfer businesses in both Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia, Philippines, Cambodia, Myanmar and Vietnam. Alibaba has a stake in Singpost which is giant company in delivering parcels in Singapore. Alibaba too has built a quiet empire by acquiring control over the Rocket internet’s Lazada which in turn has agreed to buy online grocery store; Redmart. Lazada is said to be the Amazon of Southeast Asia and is the leader in the six markets in which it operates. Amazon is reported to be planning to launch in Singapore whose culture and expenditure are more aligned to the western patterns. As it currently looks, Alibaba seems to have an upper hand in the Southeastern Asian markets.
Giants’ Deep pockets
While announcing its exemplary performance for the 3rd quarter, Alibaba credited its performance to diversified business particularly its investments in cloud and media. For the quarter ending September 30th 2016, Alibaba’s revenues increased to 55% translating to $5.1 billion sales and a net income of $1.1 billion.
Amazon on the other hand had $32.7 billion which would seem dwarfing for Alibaba. But despite these huge gap, Amazon disappointingly recorded a net income of $252 million. Alibaba’s revenues would then be more than those of Amazon and eBay combined; investors in Alibaba are now breathing much relief after a stormy period that followed the IPO of 2014. Sadly enough, remains down by 7% over the last month. Amazon has been in the blacks for six straight months. With the coming in of a new POTUS, we are yet to see how that will play for both Amazon and Alibaba.
I would do great injustice to leave this section without mentioning the grandiose and record breaking Singles day festivals that recorded $17.73 billion sales in 24 hours of 11th November, 2016. And although growth was significantly slower than 60% of last year, this year recorded a 32% growth rate; buyers appear to have been more cautious. This will only strengthen the promising performance of Alibaba.
Alibaba vs. Amazon; who wins
With all these fights for gaining more market share, both companies are putting their best foot forward; they are improving their own core businesses, they are investing in more tech savvy products and recent innovations, and they are fighting for more customers. The good news is that the customer wins!

ARRIGONI’S MURDER TRIAL IN GAZA: ANSWERS NOT JUST A VERDICT
There was once a young man from a very small Italian town called Bulciago who wished to change the world. As soon as he finished his exams, he began his quest. He traveled near and far, and when he arrived in Jerusalem in 2002, he knew he had found his calling.
In 2008, that young man, Vittorio Arrigoni, sailed the high seas on a small boat. His purpose was to help end the siege imposed on a long-suffering population living in the tiny Gaza Strip. In a journal entry that was recently published in a much anticipated book, Freedom Sailors, Arrigoni wrote:
“History is us; History is not cowardly governments; with their loyalty to whoever has the strongest military; History is made by ordinary people.”
Vittorio’s history sees ‘ordinary people’ as actors who can change the world: courageous sailors who can challenge great military powers, doctors dashing through borders and saving lives, writers, teachers, speakers, musicians and people from all backgrounds.
Vittorio’s middle name was Utopia, but his was hardly a utopian undertaking. It was very much real, and Vittorio was himself charting the way for others. Once in Gaza, he was determined to see his mission through to the very end, despite having many compelling reasons to leave. In September 2008, he was injured by the Israeli navy as he accompanied Palestinian fishermen in Gaza’s territorial waters.
A month later he was arrested ~ or more likely, kidnapped ~ by the Israeli military, and subsequently deported. A month later he returned, just in time to report on the so-called Operation Cast Lead. This was a one-sided war on Gaza between December 2008 and January 2009, following the failure of the siege to achieve Israel’s political objectives. The 22-day war killed over 1,400 people and wounded thousands more.
Vittorio was there to witness it all. As many turned the war off and on through their remote controls, Vittorio was accompanying ambulances in middle of the night, comforting the wounded, weeping with the bereaved, calling on the world to help, and surviving the war himself.
He sent daily dispatches to Italian media, blogged on his website and wrote to friends the world over. His book, Restiamo Umani (Stay Human) offers a glimpse into the courageous man’s experiences. In his first entry, he wrote as an Italian activist. By the end, he was a Palestinian man besieged in Gaza.
In the eyes of some, he was dangerous. A US-based far-right website called for his murder. It was not Vittorio the person that alarmed Israel, but the notion of what he and others like him symbolized – a challenge to the predictability of a conflict between a powerful oppressor and a powerless but defiant oppressed.
As far as Israel was concerned, an idealist from a northern Italian town had no business being in Gaza, where people are indefinitely caged in an open air prison. Neither Vittorio nor any other international activist was supposed to disturb the inhumane experiment.
Yet, Vittorio’s story had a most unexpected twist. On April, 2011, he was kidnapped and murdered. His murderers were Palestinians from Gaza, commanded by a mysterious Jordanian character whose origins and motives remain unclear. It was a horrifying, anti-climactic end to a story that was never intended to turn so wrong.
It took Palestinian society a long time to reconcile with the fact that Vittorio’s murderers were in fact Gazans, while others gloated with triumph. Vittorio’s very detractors were leading a media war defaming Palestinians, international activists and the supposedly misguided Italian who believed that the ordinary can change history.
Writing in the Jewish Chronicle, historian Geoffrey Alderman stated:
“Few events ~ not even the execution of Osama bin Laden ~ have caused me greater pleasure in recent weeks than news of the death of the Italian so-called ‘peace activist’ Vittorio Arrigoni” (as quoted in View from Jerusalem with Harriet Sherwood on May 18, 2011).
While Sherwood found the comments ‘shocking’, pleasure at the killing of a peace activist is fully consistent with Israel’s ceaseless efforts at ‘discouraging’ international activists from showing solidarity to Palestinians.
Hamas, which has controlled the Gaza Strip since the breakup with rival Fatah in 2007, seemed genuine in its attempt to capture Vittorio’s killers. An investigation quickly pointed at Salafi groups, Tawhid and Jihad, Army of Islam and others. A manhunt followed, leading to the killing of a Jordanian citizen, Abbad a-Rahman al-Brizat, and Palestinian refugee, Balal al-Omari. Others were captured, and in September 2011, a trial began.
The trial of Vittorio’s alleged killers has not exactly been a model of transparency. On September 4, a verdict is scheduled to be handed down to four men accused of involvement in the murder. Al-Brizat, the Jordanian man, was perhaps the most important key in the trial. He is gone now, and allegations that his true aim was to exchange Vittorio for an imprisoned Salafi leader, Hisham al-Saedni remain unverified.
Just eleven days before Vittorio’s murder, another activist, Juliano Mer-Khamis, was murdered in Jenin, in the West Bank. The timing of the killings is puzzling and suggests a larger plot. Hamas and other Palestinian officials suggested hidden Israeli hands in both the vile acts, but the thread is yet to be found and unraveled.
Earlier this month, Hamas freed al-Maqdissi ~the man the supposed Jihadists wanted to free ~ citing lack of evidence. A few days later, following the murder of Egyptian soldiers in Sinai, it cracked down on his group. The plot here starts to thicken beyond the ability of any straightforward narrative to explain all the missing links.
On September 4, four men will be awaiting the verdict of a Gaza military court. But much more will be on trial that day, not least the credibility of Gaza’s legal system. Many questions will need to be answered to truly understand what is transpiring in the Gaza Strip, and who is behind the hidden agendas.
The killing of Vittorio was intended to not only kill him as a person. It was also meant to destroy the very idea that sailed with him and his friends to Gaza in 2008: that ordinary people are history and that they, and only they, will eventually make the difference in a world ruled by sheer interests and military might.
Yes, justice for Vittorio Utopia Arrigoni is paramount, but we expect the Gaza government to hand down more than a verdict, but answers to those trying to kill Vittorio’s dream – along with our humanity.

The whoopin' and hollerin'
you heard coming from the
Assembly Rooms on July 8 was
our retired employees back for the
annual SJH retired employee tea.
Approximately 60 former SJH
employees and their guests gath-
ered 'round to enjoy entertainment
by the line dancing group, the
Plazettes, and hear to Sister
Marianna read an SJH version of
cowboy poetry.
The guests were asked to fill out
cards to tell about what they've
been doing since retiring from SJH.
Here are a few comments.
Jean Jennings, "I'm in the
process of going around the world
on a friend's 41-foot sailboat. I
just finished spending five months
in Tahiti."
Betty Jean Zack, "I retired
November 30, 1993, and since
then, I have put about 5,000 miles
on the car."
Helen Washington,
"Traveling, working in the yard
and doing everything I couldn't
do while working."
Marge O'Neal, "It's great to
not have any deadlines, but I miss
my staff and many others."
Roseann George, "Traveling,
enjoying the sun and learning
about the stock market."
Lucille Watkins, "Gallivanting
around town and enjoying my
retirement."
Katherine Meier, "The first
five years out of the seven I've
been retired, I traveled. Now I'm
an Auxiliary volunteer in the SJH
Gift Shop."
Alice Gross, "I'm not doing
much of anything, and I'm
enjoying it!"
Maggie Ruby, "Sleeping late!
Taking a one-hour walk each
morning. I do charity 5K walks
and even won a blue ribbon in a
5K race."
Garvan Gannon, "I retired

Transcript Saint Joseph Hospital retired employees enjoy the spread laid out by Nutrition Services. Round Up At The Retired Employee Tea The whoopin' and hollerin' you heard coming from the Assembly Rooms on July 8 was our retired employees back for the annual SJH retired employee tea. Approximately 60 former SJH employees and their guests gath- ered 'round to enjoy entertainment by the line dancing group, the Plazettes, and hear to Sister Marianna read an SJH version of cowboy poetry. The guests were asked to fill out cards to tell about what they've been doing since retiring from SJH. Here are a few comments. Jean Jennings, "I'm in the process of going around the world on a friend's 41-foot sailboat. I just finished spending five months in Tahiti." Betty Jean Zack, "I retired November 30, 1993, and since then, I have put about 5,000 miles on the car." Helen Washington, "Traveling, working in the yard and doing everything I couldn't do while working." Marge O'Neal, "It's great to not have any deadlines, but I miss my staff and many others." Roseann George, "Traveling, enjoying the sun and learning about the stock market." Lucille Watkins, "Gallivanting around town and enjoying my retirement." Katherine Meier, "The first five years out of the seven I've been retired, I traveled. Now I'm an Auxiliary volunteer in the SJH Gift Shop." Alice Gross, "I'm not doing much of anything, and I'm enjoying it!" Maggie Ruby, "Sleeping late! Taking a one-hour walk each morning. I do charity 5K walks and even won a blue ribbon in a 5K race." Garvan Gannon, "I retired nine years ago last May. I have enjoyed every minute. We are spending money and having a good time." Maria Conca, " I've been trav- eling to Florida, Mexico, Italy, and New York with my family." Thelma Sidberry, "Fulltime minister for small membership church."

various weight classes.
VEX released their new BB ESC (electronic speed controller) just before the competition, which we used on our self-righting system due to its current-limiting capability. The real advantage of the BB line is the ability to run a
48V system, which is double what the Victor's can handle. We run our drive system at 22V, so we would not have been able to take full advantage of that feature. We are planning on using them to their full potential for Season 3.
Combat Zone: We know you included a self-righting mechanism this year. How does that work?
Witch Doctor: The self-righting mechanism is powered by an S28-150
Mag motor mated to an Apex Dynamics planetary gearhead, with an additional chain reduction to give us the power we need to self-right (or lift an opponent if primary weapon failure occurred). It's not a particularly fast actuating system, but we wanted to ensure it had enough power to flip us over with an additional 250 lbs on top.
The most unexpected failure mode occurred during our Red Devil match, in which the drive sprocket for the self-righting mechanism shattered due to shock load. Later inspection proved the sintered metal sprockets were not up to the task as even Shaman had a drive sprocket failure.
Combat Zone: Can you give our readers an overview of your weapon system? Parts, configuration, ratios, etc.? How do you switch your weapon power?
Witch Doctor: Our weapon system is basically the biggest brushless Outrunner we could find. The motor claims 15 k W of power output, which seems to pack plenty of punch. The 60 lb weapon assembly is comprised of two 1.25" thick S7 tool steel discs mated to an aluminum hub which spins at just under 4,000 RPM.
We used an industrial brushless speed controller for Season 2 instead of a hobby-grade controller which gave us much more control over the ESC parameters and datalogs as well, so we could troubleshoot during testing or review matches.
Combat Zone: Give us some thoughts on your layout, design for redundancy, design for failure, and general design philosophy.
Witch Doctor: When designing for redundancy, we double-up everywhere we can. Our drive system has four ESCs (two per motor); the wheels are all independent chain drive so if one gets ripped off or bound up, the robot will still drive. We run dual belts on our weapon assembly for the same reason.
As for designing for failure, we isolate our weapon and drive systems from one another so that if the weapon goes out, it doesn't take the drive with it.
For example, we have our batteries in separate compartments in case of failure, like what happened in the Red Devil fight. One of our drive packs was cut into but the other systems were still functional.
Combat Zone: For our RC literate readers, can you tell us your stick and switch layout, programming, etc., on your transmitter?
Witch Doctor: We run Spektrum DX6i transmitters for both Witch Doctor and Shaman. We have been using 2. 4 GHz spread spectrum tech for years, starting back in Bots IQ after the IFI controllers were obsolete. This is reliable technology and has never given us any problems with fail safes or interference.
Additionally, the DX6i allows for mixing and adjustments right on the transmitter, which is really nice.
As far as transmitter layout, this year we separated the weapon system to a second transmitter. The main transmitter controls the drive on the aileron/elevator stick and the self-righting mechanism on the rudder stick. I have always controlled drive on the right stick and weapon on the left. Some people like to split up right/left drive on each stick which does allow for more fine control, but it's not what I'm used to.
Combat Zone: Any sneak peeks for our readers on what might be up in Witch Doctor's future? Building for the Season 3 we all hope will happen?
Witch Doctor: We are excited to say that Witch Doctor will be entirely rebuilt for Season 3. We plan to optimize WD's weight distribution and we put some additional power into the drive system. With new types of robots at competition each year, we need to make upgrades to our armor in all configurations.
Our weapon system has been pretty reliable, but there are some upgrades we want to make to it as well. SV

Jesse's Journal: Come to Lavender Country - The first Gay C&W band was formed right here in Seattle
by Jesse Monteagudo - SGN Contributing Writer
Much has been written lately about Steve Grand, the 23-year old who is often described as 'the first openly Gay country singer.' Grand is cute, a good vocalist, and the first openly Gay artist in his genre to achieve mainstream recognition - but the title of 'first' almost certainly belongs to Patrick Haggerty, who co-created the country group Lavender Country, and an album of the same name, four decades ago.
Haggerty was born in 1944 and raised on a dairy farm on the Washington peninsula. After college he joined the Peace Corps but was soon discharged for being Gay. He then moved to Seattle, where he became active in the city's Gay Liberation Front. In 1972 he formed Lavender Country, consisting of himself as singer and guitarist, Michael Carr on keyboards, Eve Morris on fiddle and vocals, and Robert Hammerstrom on guitar. The group's self-titled album was funded and released in 1973 by Gay Community Social Services of Seattle with assistance from local activist Faygele Ben-Miriam. Lavender Country performed at Seattle's first Pride event, held in 1974, and at other LGBT events around Washington before dissolving in 1976.
Listening to Lavender Country again, which I am doing while writing this article, reminds me of how much the LGBT community owes groundbreaking artists who, like Haggerty and his group, paved the way for many to follow. Out country singer-songwriter Doug Stevens, who produced his first album, Out In the Country, in 1993, described the group Lavender Country as 'a Gay country band playing out, political, and sexual-liberation songs written in an old-fashioned, Hank Williams-like style ... The songs are cleverly written and speak of the oppressive situations that Gay people often found themselves in at the time. Some of the songs are funny, some are sexual, and others are downright tragic.'
'COCKSUCKING TEARS'
Cheeky songs like 'Come Out Singin',' 'Cryin' These Cocksucking Tears,' and 'Back in the Closet Again' (a Gay take on Gene Autry's 'Back in the Saddle') told it like it was, with an honesty that most artists wouldn't touch with a 10-foot pole. Indeed, a female DJ in Seattle lost her FCC license when she dared to play 'Cocksucking Tears' on her radio show. Haggerty wrote and sang all the songs on the album except 'To a Woman,' a Lesbian tune written and sung by Eve Morris.
As was the fate of too many LGBT works of art from the early 1970s, Lavender Country went out of print and was forgotten by most music lovers. When Stevens created his country group The Outband in 1992, he mistakenly thought that his was 'the first Gay country band ever to exist.' In 1999 Chris Dickinson, editor of the Journal of Country Music, revived interest in Lavender Country with her article 'Country Undetectable: Gay Artists in Country Music.' Because of Dickinson's article, the album Lavender Country was soon entered into the archives of the Country Music Hall of Fame. Gay Community Social Services of Seattle put out a new CD edition of Lavender Country and the band reunited in 2000 to perform at Seattle's Broadway Performance Hall and Seattle Pride. Haggerty himself returned to his country roots, performing across the country as a member of Outband. Meanwhile, a new crop of openly Gay country singers emerged - artists like Stevens, Sid Spencer, Mark Weigle, Jeff Miller, and David Alan Mors. They all combined the traditions of country and western music with a Queer sensitivity, long before Steve Grand's 'All American Boy.'
