Jones' artwork is inspired by the ancient Sanskrit texts or Vedas. His two dimensional art has been given depth, and combined with sacred geometry, to create a kaleidoscope of imagery never seen before. The soundtrack is composed by Jones' frequent collaborator – Tipper. "This is like being inside one of my paintings" - says Android Jones. "You're not looking through the window at a painting, it's like you become part of it, you're the main character in it as it is happening all around you."Samskara debuted at the Fiske Fulldome Film Festival 2015 in Boulder, Colorado, where it won the Best Short Film award. It was a hit at several inspirational festivals over the 2015 US summer. Samskara is now available to fulldome theaters worldwide.

She walks on the beach of Oahu with her black lab, Lexi and gives sage and thoughtful words of wisdom. And she's been giving her life perspectives for more than 700 episodes! Rox and her partner, Shane Robinson own Bare Feet Studios in Hawaii. They are a video production studio specializing in leveraging the intersection of video and the social web. You can learn a lot about the power of video distribution on this episode. Rox also organized Podcamp Hawaii and used the social web for her event marketing. She gives some great examples of the power of soc nets for events - and she got more than 400 attendees to the Podcamp, so she knows what she's talking about. Hear her amazing story of paddling 41 miles in a 6-person canoe with 5 other over-50 women from Molokai to Waikiki and then watch this video to practically experience paddling yourself! http://www.beachwalks.tv/2008/10/07/beach-walk-696-for-the-love-of-paddling/ Dishy Mix Blog Subscribe Free in iTunes Susan Shares Host Interviewing Techniques Bare Feet Studios Beach Walks with Rox Susan Bratton: Welcome to Dishy Mix. I’m your host, Susan Bratton, and on today’s show you’re going to get to meet Roxanne Darling. If you haven’t seen the online video show called Beach Walks With Rox, you are missing out. And the good news is, you know what I love; I love it when people come to the studio to do Dishy Mix, so Rox is right here. Say hi, Rox. Roxanne Darling: Hey, I’ll say Aloha. Susan Bratton: Aloha. Of course you will say Aloha. So, Beach Walks With Rox is a show that you’ve been doing for now how many episodes? Roxanne Darling: We’re at over 700 episodes, and we’re actually going to be completing our three year anniversary in February of 2009, so we’re very excited… Susan Bratton: 300. Roxanne Darling: I mean, there’s hardly anybody that’s done that, and for a lot of good reasons. Susan Bratton: Has anybody? Are you the longest running most episodic show out there? Roxanne Darling: Rocket Boom… Susan Bratton: Oh yeah. Roxanne Darling: is still running and they started well before we did, and they definitely get the prize for first place. But most people have a difficulty sustaining over the long term, and we’re lucky we have a very simple formula, and it’s relatively easy to keep going. Susan Bratton: Well you’re in the business. Your real job, if you will, or the other thing you spend most of your day doing in addition to Beach Walks With Rox, which by the way, the tagline is “Sometimes Serious, Sometimes Frivolous, but Always Aloha”, right? Roxanne Darling: That’s right. Susan Bratton: I got it. Roxanne Darling: You got it. Susan Bratton: In addition to your show, your online video show, you run a studio with your business partner and life partner Shane called Bare Feet Studios, so you’re really in the video production business, and that’s what we’re going to talk about today on the show. Roxanne Darling: Yes, yes. Susan Bratton: I am looking forward to learning… I mean, for me it’s such a fantastic opportunity to have you here because you are steeped in producing web video content, and you do it for your clients, you do it for yourself, and you are also a social media maven, and so you’ve combined those things, which I think is the nexus of perfection in online marketing right now, so I want to hear all about it. I did want to, before we get into the video stuff, you have produced a new podcamp. You had a very, like 400 people came to Podcamp Hawaii. Roxanne Darling: Yes. Susan Bratton: Tell us about that. Roxanne Darling: It was an amazing experience. We’ve been wanting, Shane and I have been wanting to do it for about three years, and the community hadn’t really been ready and we hadn’t had the time, and just waiting for that critical mass to form. And as it turns out, we had about a four and a half month period to throw the whole thing together. I completely panicked all of the volunteers that were helping me because they said “Way too short a time”. But for me it was, “We’re going to get in, we’re going to do it, we’re going to get out.” Susan Bratton: Yeah. Roxanne Darling: For me, I’m too busy. I didn’t want to stretch it out over a year. I know it’s really hard to maintain people’s energy and enthusiasm in this, this environment we live in. Things are changing so quickly, and things are happening at such a quick pace. I prefer to work hard and get it done, so we had tremendous local support. We used, of course, I used it because my business had, I had used it as a case study, how to use the social web to promote an event that stuck out, as we say, in the piko of the universe, in the navel, the bellybutton of the universe. If you look at a globe, Hawaii is the far, the most remote landmass, and we literally are like the little bellybutton of planet earth. And so, we did a combination of, you know, using Eye Contact, which is a social email list builder. We used Event Bright, which is a social even registration service where all the people who register list their full name, and it’s shown in public, they can add their URL, so everybody gets to see who else is coming… Susan Bratton: Yeah, people like that. Roxanne Darling: They do, they do. Susan Bratton: Especially in a down market when you only have, you know, you really have to make your travel budget matter and you need to get yourself organized before you attend events. I think this is the way of the world. Roxanne Darling: Mm hmm. We had about, out of, we actually had over 700 people register, and out of that I had 3 people contact me that said, “Whoa, I didn’t know my name was going to be listed in public”, so we just changed it to their initials, but otherwise it works really, really well. And so then I’ve been blogging about that on Bare Feet Studios, basically outlining, you know, start here, first develop your tag, then, you know, put yourself on Upcoming so that the people that track events, like Robert Scoble, he marks almost anything tech related as he’s watching even if he’s not going to be attending. And then other people actually subscribe to his RSS feed on Upcoming, so they say, “Oh, he’s Podcamp Hawaii”, you know. So just being able to connect with a few of those key people, key influencers, really helped us get the word out, doesn’t cost a dime, it only costs knowing that that stuff exists, and then using it. Susan Bratton: I don’t know how Robert Scoble does everything that he does. I interviewed him on Dishy Mix maybe a year or two ago when he was still at Pod Tech, may they rest in peace. And, God bless John Furrier for at least for paving the way with that business. And I just, I have no idea how he processes the level of information that he processes. I think we are doing it too, but doing it in different ways. But he’s just so exacting, I think, isn’t he? Roxanne Darling: Yes. Well he does use the tools really well, and… Roxanne Darling: But he’s very generous about sharing how he uses Google Reader, how he uses Upcoming, how he uses the tools, and that’s also his job. He doesn’t, you know, have the same distractions and responsibilities that you and I have running a business, so… Susan Bratton: That is his business. Roxanne Darling: Just to put a little cut in there for us. Susan Bratton: Good point. Thank you, Rox. I feel better about that. One of the things that you were doing is blogging this whole process of what I would, what I would call the connective tissue around social media web apps for driving an event. I know a lot of my listeners are marketers, and they put on events, even if they’re events for internal organizations or their sales teams or their customers, and so, if they go to barefeetstudios.com they can track your whole story of using the connected web for event marketing. Roxanne Darling: Yes. We have a how-to category, so just click on that category and that’ll take them back five years or four years worth of blog posts, and they’ll find the Podcamp related ones in there. Susan Bratton: Excellent. Thank you for that. I notice you’re also a member of the Social Media Club. I know that was something that Chris Heuer founded, but I don’t know much about it. Tell me about that. Roxanne Darling: It is, you know, it’s an organization founded by Chris and his wife Kristie… Susan Bratton: Mm hmm. Roxanne Darling: And their goal, they’re the most generous souls. They really want to help the social media experts find a market place for their services, and they want the market place to know how to find qualified, capable experts to help them develop campaigns to train their internal staff and how to become social web activists. And so, it’s been started a couple of years ago, actually very grassroots, and they are now actually in the process of getting a 501C3 and putting much more organ… Susan Bratton: That’s a not for profit. Roxanne Darling: Yes… Roxanne Darling: organizational structure in place. There are chapters forming literally, you know, like hotcakes all over the world. And Chris and Kristie are flying around trying to help everybody get up, you know, their local chapters started, and the local chapter will have, generally the formula is you have monthly meetings where you present case studies, where you invite local businesses in. It’s the, you know, the rising tide… Susan Bratton: Mm hmm, true. Roxanne Darling: floats all boats kind of a concept because all of this stuff is new. We’re all making it up… Roxanne Darling: and you follow all of the blog posts and Twitter messages about, everybody’s a social media expert these days, and, you know, there’s a lot of controversy over that topic in and of itself because how do you define what is a social media expert. And so, that’s definitely on of the questions that the Social Media Club is trying to take on. Susan Bratton: I was thinking about one of the questions I asked you before we got started, and I asked you the one thing you would change about business if you could change anything, and you said you’d like us to all stop pretending we’re experts. What was that, ‘cause it sounds like it’s connected? Roxanne Darling: Yes. I’m a stickler for the language, and I’m also very much into case specific applications. And so, there is a notion that if you have a PhD you’re automatically an expert, but you may be book smart and practical dummy… Roxanne Darling: We have traditional hierarchical systems of what defines an expert. And what we’re seeing in the economy right now was that all of the experts did not know what they’re doing, right. So we have this huge meltdown that’s taking place, and there’s a lot of “Emperor Wears No Clothes”. That’s what I meant about that; that I think it’s time for us to be much more transparent about what we know and what we don’t know. Instead of passing on this group mind knowledge that it always works this way, so it’s always going to continue to work this way, and instead be able to say, “Well this is the way it worked in the past. I can’t guarantee that it’s going to work this way in the future”, because I think we set up unrealistic expectations for people, and we create a cult of expertise that’s not valid. And in any emerging market place, like we have right now with social web, customers, God bless them, how do they know who to hire… Roxanne Darling: where to hire, how much to pay? There are no standards; it’s being created as we go. So, the flipside of that though is that anyone can be an expert. If I happen to have the little piece of information that you want to run your business, then I’m, you know, you get to be, to call me your expert, and that gets to be valid and true. It becomes a problem when I then go out and say, “I am the best social media expert. I have a case study of one”… Roxanne Darling: That’s where the sticky energy is, and it’s really all about the energy. It’s about, you know, the words that we use, what we think those words imply, and how we then market our self in the market place. Susan Bratton: I think we just had an episode of Beach Walks. Susan Bratton: What’s the Hawaiian word for expert? Roxanne Darling: It’s Na’ohawa, or something. Susan Bratton: You’re na’ah, na’ah you’re not Na’Ohawa. Roxanne Darling: It’s a valid interpretation. Susan Bratton: Right, exactly. I know, it’s… Roxanne Darling: And some Hawaiian person’s going to tell me that I completely just butchered that word… Susan Bratton: Butchered the word… Roxanne Darling: It’s something like that. Susan Bratton: That’s okay, I put you on the spot. That’s okay. You could’ve said anything. The bellybutton one was good enough for me. Well I want to get to video just before we go to a break. Start on that conversation. You have some macro ways of chunking your thought process around video. I would say my perspective of you is that you think video is an extremely powerful tool for brand marketers, the brand called You for conveying information online, that this is kind of the way the world works now. Am I getting you clearly on that? Roxanne Darling: In general, yes… Roxanne Darling: Certainly not to the exclusion of other things… Susan Bratton: No. Roxanne Darling: But when, you know, I often have said if a picture is worth a thousand words a video is priceless. You, there is very little that gets lost in translation when you’re watching a person and listening to them speak and are looking at the environment that they’re in when they’re being recorded. All of those things play into the integrity and the transparency of the message, and its very compelling. It doesn’t hurt that YouTube is such a phenomenon right now, but it’s, you know, we could sort of do the chicken and egg discussion, which comes first I’m not sure, I don’t care. They both feed off of each other. YouTube only would’ve become popular, granted that we had enough bandwidth, that’s a key underlying technical thing that has enabled YouTube to become what it is. But it’s not just about the bandwidth; it’s that people love watching and seeing and listening to other people. It’s the most direct connection of each other that we can have short of being in person together. Susan Bratton: So you spoke this morning of the Silicon Valley American Marketing Association with our friend Alise Tager, and a little shout out for Alise, she’s a Dishy Mix listener, and you… Roxanne Darling: and Beach Walks viewer. Susan Bratton: And a Beach Walks viewer. Thank you for… Roxanne Darling: We have a lot of shared audience. Susan Bratton: You chunked some video concept for them… Roxanne Darling: Mm hmm. Susan Bratton: Take our listeners through that. Roxanne Darling: Yeah I, you know, my brain really works as a systems analyst, and so we talked about four different kinds of online video. So there’s the episodic edited produced type of video, which is what Beach Walks is… Roxanne Darling: where you shoot a bunch of scenes and you stitch them together and you make a show. Then there’s what I call ‘talking head’ video, which is what people can do sitting at their computers, record directly into the browser and the website will automatically encode that video and you can post it wherever you want or you can keep it private. Susan Bratton: And that’s the Vidler seismic world. Susan Bratton: Where I’m not using a camera, I’m using my computer video camera and browser. Roxanne Darling: Yes, the little thing that’s built right in… Roxanne Darling: in most cases. Then there is…and that’s great by the way for startup since we’re here in the valley. That’s a… Roxanne Darling: I think it’s a great technique for startups to do a video report to their investors once a week or every two weeks, helps them get comfortable in front of the camera, much, much better communication as compared to written reports or emails back and forth. Very genuine. It’s really hard to not like someone when you see them and you hear them, especially if they’re speaking from their heart, you know, what’s really going on this week; whereas from a distance it’s so easy to judge people. “Oh, I haven’t gotten a report from them in three weeks. They must be screwing up.” Susan Bratton: Mm hmm. Or even an email. Roxanne Darling: Really. Susan Bratton: An email can be interpreted so negatively. Roxanne Darling: Yes it can… Susan Bratton: Yeah, yeah Roxanne Darling: It can be. So then third type is live streaming, which you can do from your phone. I have a Nokia N95… Susan Bratton: Show off. Roxanne Darling: which is one of the early live streaming so that, I basically have a mobile broadcast slash narrowcast studio with me at all times. And then the fourth is screen casting, which is, it’s a category of video, so it’s where you’re filming your computer screen with audio on top of that in a teaching training situation. Susan Bratton: Becoming much more popular in information products marketing and things like that as well. Roxanne Darling: Yes. And it’s so much easier and faster for people to learn. Susan Bratton: I can see, you know, we were talking about museums before we got on the show, museum marketing. I know that there are a number of museums that listen to Dishy Mix… Susan Bratton: and are marketers in that world, and I think that’s probably the screen casting, with all of the images and the content and the collections that they have, could be a really powerful tool for them. Roxanne Darling: Mm hmm. And a lot of this stuff, you know, you can build it once and use it in three different applications… Roxanne Darling: so you can have a kiosk that is for the live visitors in your museum, and then you can just convert that to a web asset for the people who can’t visit you in live, onsite. Susan Bratton: So we’re going to go to a break, and when we come back I want to talk to you about now that we have whichever form of video is the right one for us based on our comfort level, our technology level, our skill set, our time, our budget, I want to talk about how we use it online, how we radiate our content and our message, using the connectivity of the social web. Does that sound like the right next step? Roxanne Darling: Great. Sure. Susan Bratton: Alright, good. So we’re going to go to a break and thank our sponsors. I really appreciate the people who allow me to bring Roxanne and all this great video conversation to you, so please listen to what they have to say. It should be stuff you’re interested in, and we’ll go to a break, and when we come back we’ll learn more about video with Roxanne Darling, the host of Beach Walks With Rox and also the founder and co-partner, I guess, what is the right title for you, the… Roxanne Darling: Yeah, that’s what we are co-partners… Susan Bratton: co-founder… Roxanne Darling: co-founder. Susan Bratton: with Shane Robinson of Bare Feet Studios. So we’ll be right back. Susan Bratton: We’re back, and I’m with Roxanne Darling who has flown in from the beautiful island of Oahu… Susan Bratton: And…I was going to say the beautiful island of Aloha… Roxanne Darling: And we wouldn’t know what you’re talking about. Susan Bratton: It’s not an island, it’s a state of mind. Susan Bratton: That’s great. So, tell us now, we have some video. What do we do with it? What’s working on the web right now? How do we get the video seen? Roxanne Darling: Mm hmm. Well there are a couple of key things. One is the term ‘cross posting’. So you want, once you’ve put all this labor of love and intelligence and effort into your video, you’ll want to cross post it or put it on as many places as you can. There are dozens and dozens of video hosting sites. Some of them are niche, you know, vertical markets, some of them are all over the map, YouTube, of course, is all over the map. And we use a service called Tube Mogul… Roxanne Darling: which is a startup based here in Berkley, and they will cross post the video for you. So you upload one file to them and then check off the other distribution sites that you’ve already created an account on, it keeps your login criteria. And then we’ll cross post for you, and more importantly for some people, especially in a business application, it gathers the viewer statistics, so you can then customize your reporting inside Tube Mogul, which is what we did on the Primo episodes… Roxanne Darling: where I wanted, I said, “Just track these specific episodes and, you know, update that report on a daily basis so that I can deliver updated reports on how many episodes were viewed.” Susan Bratton: So Primo Water was a sponsor of your show, and they have a water bottle made out of plant material… Roxanne Darling: Plant material. Susan Bratton: rather than petroleum-based product, which was really important to you because you’re walking along the beach all the time and you see the havoc that water bottles can, can make, and so you tracked, when you created the ad for them, you tracked the number of viewers so that they would understand what they got, the benefit they got… Susan Bratton: which is awesome. Susan Bratton: I have a couple questions about companies like Tube Mogul. Traffic Geysers, I’m hearing all about them right now. There’s another one called, something like Information Market, Internet Marketing Revolution, they’re also in this world. Do you, are you seeing a proliferation of these video distribution companies or are there still just a couple? Roxanne Darling: There’s definitely a proliferation. It’s an odd thing to observe because there still is not a business model for most of the video players, whether you’re a producer or a hosting company or an aggregator, but nonetheless people are so completely absorbed and fascinated. You know, it’s like Twitter. Twitter just had an evaluation of $250,000,000 dollars and no revenue… Susan Bratton: It’s amazing. Roxanne Darling: But people, there’s this, it’s kind of exciting in a way because, you know, I’ve been one of those people, especially on beach walks, you know. Let’s say, lets talk about this…It’s not always about the money… Roxanne Darling: And how do we make it not always about the money? Well then, we make it not always about the money. And so that’s really part of this shift that’s taking place, and video in a way I think has been leading that charge… Roxanne Darling: in the proliferation of services and opportunities today. Repeatedly I kept saying to people, you know, they would say, “Well how much does Blip TV cost?” Roxanne Darling: It’s free. Roxanne Darling: “Well Vidler, how much do they charge?” It’s free. Roxanne Darling: And, you know, theoretically that could change one day, but for now it’s a wonderful world out there. Susan Bratton: It is, absolutely. You were mentioning the power of tagging, and one of the things that I have begun to understand is that once you create a video and you post it, maybe through a Tube Mogul or what have you, in all of these different places on the web, that you have to both tag it as well as do things that allow search engines to find that video because you can go stick it on a million sites, but if no one can find it, it doesn’t really matter that you ever recorded it. Susan Bratton: What are the tips that you can give us for essentially the best, I think, nirvana would be Google to find your video and for that to come up in the organic search results… Susan Bratton: That’s, that’s heaven, right? Susan Bratton: How do we make that happen? Roxanne Darling: Yes. It’s not that hard actually… Susan Bratton: Okay. Roxanne Darling: and it’s getting better by day. So the first thing we recommend is people have what I call a ‘destination site’… Roxanne Darling: So even if you’re going to be spreading your videos like peanut butter all over, you know, hoping it sticks somewhere, have a destination site that’s your blog. That’s beachwalks.tv for us… Roxanne Darling: We still put it on YouTube, Daily Motion, Veoh, Vidler, etcetera, etcetera. But that way I can create a new blog post, a new entry, a new web page for each, excuse me, episode. I then can give it a nice keyword dense title… Roxanne Darling: which the search engines love… Susan Bratton: Same as a blog post. Roxanne Darling: Exactly… Roxanne Darling: And then, so it becomes the same as a blogpost… Roxanne Darling: You are no longer penalized because you’ve added this interactive video content. You add a nice description, you fill out the tag field in your WordPress blog, or whatever blog you have, and you really spend time doing that. A lot of people doing video, and this is simply a testimony to how difficult it can be, by the time you’ve shot it, edited it, encoded it, uploaded it, you’re like, “I’m exhausted.” Susan Bratton: Right. Roxanne Darling: And so a lot of people just put their videos up… Roxanne Darling: And they don’t take that extra fifteen or twenty minutes that it can take to put a nice description on there… Roxanne Darling: For me, I mean, with 700 episodes… Roxanne Darling: If I didn’t have the description there, I wouldn’t know what the heck was on my own site. So it serves me, as well as my viewers, as well as the search engines. Now Google is working on, I just heard this from someone in my workshop today and it’s been kind of talked about generically, but he said they’re actually getting very close to perhaps launching something, while using speech recognition technology to be able to listen to the audio track in video, and then index that translation content. So… Susan Bratton: Speech to text synthesis for… Roxanne Darling: So, you know, our Apple computers… Roxanne Darling: have had that for years… Roxanne Darling: You can speak into the computer and it will turn that into text for you. And they’re applying that to uploaded video. Susan Bratton: Mm hmm. Well… Roxanne Darling: That’s total sense. Susan Bratton: which will certainly help. I know, isn’t that what Mary Hodder was doing? What was Mary’s site? She had a video site; Dabbler! Roxanne Darling: Dabbler. Dabble. Susan Bratton: Wasn’t that what Dabble or Dabbler was doing? I think a lot of people have taken a run… Susan Bratton: at doing that. Of course with Google, if they do it, they’ll do it very well and hopefully that will help more with discovery. Roxanne Darling: Well and they have a big investment in YouTube that they still are trying to make money off of. Susan Bratton: Exactly. Roxanne Darling: So they have the best incentive, as well as the best resources. Roxanne Darling: So, which is another good plug for a sidebar video tip. Roxanne Darling: Audio is really important on video. Roxanne Darling: People forget about that because they’re in a convention hall, or they’re walking outside along a windy shoreline and they’re holding their camera and it all looks beautiful and they hear their own voice and it sounds wonderful, and they get back into the office to look at the video and they hear (crackling sound) of the wind or all that chitter chatter background noise you can’t hear a word that somebody is saying, so invest in a good microphone. Susan Bratton: So what kind of a camera and mic set up do you carry around when you’re going into those kind of environments? Roxanne Darling: Any kind of a camera that has a mic input so that I can be using an external mic… Roxanne Darling: that I can go from mouth to mouth… Roxanne Darling: and that blocks, automatically blocks out the background sounds. So you want a little bit of that background sound because it makes it real and it adds color and flavor… Roxanne Darling: but it doesn’t distract from your ability to hear the conversation that is raison d’etre for that particular episode. Susan Bratton: And what about for talking head videos? What kind of tips can you give us if we’re using something like Seismic or Vidler, or even our own camera and then feeding, you know, uploading that file? Susan Bratton: What can we do to make our talking head videos more interesting and engaging? Roxanne Darling: I think the, in that case the sound is probably going to be fine unless you’ve got a lot of ambient noise, the kids are screaming in the background and it’s your home office. But, so then you’d want to focus on lighting. And often times people have the lighting in the room behind them… Roxanne Darling: And what that does is it basically blows you out and you become a shadow. Roxanne Darling: And your face is not very visible, so you want to try and have some lighting that is directed onto your face… Roxanne Darling: that actually is going to help the video not, it’s going to give you better quality video because it’s not going to be trying to focus constantly; it’s got enough light that it can focus on you. Susan Bratton: Are there any… Roxanne Darling: And… Susan Bratton: Oh, sorry. Roxanne Darling: edit, speak in sound bites. I think that’s the hardest thing, you understand that, you do that very well, but people get on there and they repeat themselves three or four times, and so developing an ability to listen to yourself and realize when you’ve made your point, then shut up. Susan Bratton: Oh, if only… Roxanne Darling: People will love you so much more… Susan Bratton: you could wave your magic wand on that one for the whole universe. Roxanne Darling: Yes. Well, that’s true. That’s true. Susan Bratton: Okay. Any other video tips that you have to give us? I mean, you’ve got some gems in there, I know you do. What’re the three things that you figured out that hardly anybody knows that you could impart to us today? Roxanne Darling: Mm hmm. I would say the first thing is to drop any notions that you have of how you should look. So first thing, video, it’s, you know, people start thinking, “Oh, well I can’t, I can’t go right now, I’m having a bad hair day”… Susan Bratton: Mm hmm. “I need to look like a news anchor.” Roxanne Darling: We talked about that this morning actually. There’s this group mind energy that we’ve always been the watchers and they’ve been the performers… Susan Bratton: Ah hah. Roxanne Darling: And it’s a very narrow class of people with very strict perimeters… Roxanne Darling: Well not anymore. Anybody, I mean, that’s the beauty of YouTube. Go spend ten minutes on YouTube, it’s going to raise your self esteem, you know, dramatically when you see what’s there and what gets a lot of traffic. So, and actually once you get yourself calmed down, what you learn as a business person using this as a tool is that those very elements are what people love to see in you. That’s what allows them to come into your world, to feel intimate with you, to know who you are, and then to perhaps want to do business with you… Roxanne Darling: rather than present to, you know how at speakers, you look at the program and you look at the photographs and it’s a ten year old photo and you go see the person, and it was taken in a studio and then it was airbrushed, and then you see the real person and you go, “Whoa, like, those are not the same person”, and that’s disorienting for people… Roxanne Darling: Right now, for better, for worse people like the real deal. Susan Bratton: Yeah. Yeah, there’s a movement toward authenticity in everything, isn’t there. Susan Bratton: Mm hmm. So it makes you more believable, more credible and for people to connect with you better and then hear what you’re trying to tell them. Roxanne Darling: And from a sales point of view, they are doing their own pre-screening because if, you know, for me I have a particular demeanor, and if somebody’s looking for really fast talking dah-dah-dah-dah-dah, you know… Roxanne Darling: kind of person, I’m not that, and so I don’t want to try to pretend to be that, and they get to figure that out right away. Meanwhile, someone who’s looking for a person who can explain the technology, who will go a little bit slower for them, I’m really good for those kind of people. Video allows us to really express that. Susan Bratton: If someone were to watch a couple of episodes of Beach Walks that you felt were some of your best work from this perspective, not maybe the subject matter particularly, but just an episode where you really felt like you were, you know, clear as a bell about who you were and how you were connecting with your audience and conveying your true self, do any of those come to mind for you? Roxanne Darling: We have a page on our site called Favorite Episodes. Roxanne Darling: And I try to remember to link in there… Roxanne Darling: to when I have those experiences. Roxanne Darling: And we’ve kind of grouped them in there because, you know, after three years our show is all over the map. Roxanne Darling: The majority of the shows are the very simple format, we, me walking down the beach talking about something that I thought of on the way from the house to the beach in the car. But then we have episodes like Island Adventure when we had friends from the mainland, and we took the sixth person out in the canoe… Susan Bratton: I loved that. I saw that one and I loved it. Roxanne Darling: Yeah. And we had music from Cub World, you know, so we turned it into a music video, and we’ve got the kids… Roxanne Darling: and the people and the paddling in the island and, you know, people get a… Susan Bratton: Didn’t you have, didn’t somebody, didn’t Shane have like the video on his hat or how… Roxanne Darling: No, we had… Susan Bratton: Where was it? Roxanne Darling: We had one video mounted on the front of the canoe… Susan Bratton: Mounted on the front, yeah. Roxanne Darling: right in front of where I was sitting in seat one, and then we had another video mounted on a toilet plunger actually… Susan Bratton: Attractive. Roxanne Darling: at the back of the canoe to get the, you know, long shot of everyone… Roxanne Darling: and then he was actually standing on the beach so that he could get the departure and the arrival shots… Susan Bratton: That was it. Roxanne Darling: And I took a little Sanyo with me in the boat and filmed the experiences on the island. Susan Bratton: I think you must have a really fun toy chest, ‘cause you are such a techy little geek girl. Susan Bratton: Oh my God, have you always been like that? Roxanne Darling: Not really. I mean, the internet has taught me…. Roxanne Darling: parts of myself I never knew existed. Susan Bratton: Me too. Roxanne Darling: I mean, it’s amazing. Susan Bratton: I know, I love the tools. I just got the newest version of iLife, it came last night. I just plugged it in, I haven’t even played with it yet… Susan Bratton: but I can’t wait to see what it’s going to do for my photo’s, you know, for iPhoto and all those kinds of things. Roxanne Darling: Mm hmm. Face recognition software… Susan Bratton: Face recognition and the mapping stuff… Roxanne Darling: Yeah. Susan Bratton: for your travel things and… Roxanne Darling: Yup. Susan Bratton: They’re doing an, Apple is just doing an amazing job of all that, aren’t they? Susan Bratton: Giving us those creative tools? Roxanne Darling: Yes, it’s incredible. Susan Bratton: Perfect. Roxanne Darling: It’s incredible. Susan Bratton: So speaking of paddling, you told me that the thing that pushed your edge the hardest in your whole life was a 41-mile outrigger paddling adventure from Waikiki to was it Molokai? Roxanne Darling: Molokai to Waikiki. Susan Bratton: Molokai to Waikiki, 41 miles across the open ocean in an outrigger. Tell us the story. Roxanne Darling: Yes. Well it’s the most difficult canoe race in the world allegedly, and, you know, for 25 years women were not allowed to even do the race. This is an interesting sidebar of feminism. Finally a group of women paddled it unofficially, ad hoc, got in a lot of trouble, but of course did it, and so then the year actually that I paddled was the 25 year anniversary of women having been able to do this crossing. It’s an incredible race. You start very early, at sunrise, with a traditional Hawaiian blessing in Molokai, then you get in the canoe. And we had six people in the canoe at one time. We had a chase boat, and then six replacement paddlers for our over 50-age group. And then about every 20 to 30 minutes the refreshed paddlers would jump off the chase boat, wait in the water for the canoe to find them, we’re waving our hands in the water, the canoe comes down wind, down wave. The other paddlers jump out the other side of the canoe as we grab a hold of the gunnel and haul ourselves into the canoe and then take off for the next, you know, 20 to 30 minute stint. And it’s a six-mile deep channel, the Kaiwi Channel, that we paddle through. And it’s just the most, I mean, it’s a 7-hour, not quite 7 hours, but practically speaking, 6 hours and 52 minutes or something I think was our time, but an incredible experience of, you know, this is how the Polynesian’s got to Hawaii, and we take off from the harbor where many people believe they initially landed. So there’s tremendous chicken skin cultural history… Susan Bratton: I know I have goose bumps thinking about this… Roxanne Darling: to it. Susan Bratton: Actually, I’m really impressed that you can haul yourself up into that… Roxanne Darling: That’s the hardest part…. Susan Bratton: That has to be, and to do it gracefully without embarrassing… Roxanne Darling: Oh we’re not graceful. We don’t worry about that. We just get in any way you can…. Susan Bratton: Yeah. Yeah. But keep going, I interrupted the story. Roxanne Darling: No, no, it’s a grueling race… Roxanne Darling: and, you know, because it’s hard. I mean, the canoe itself weighs 400 pounds, and then with us in it it weighs, you know, six bodies, you know, add another 900 pounds or so to that, and it’s a race, and so you don’t let your guard down, and you hope your coach is pointing you on a good track. And, you know, there’re canoes on either side of you. When we got started there were about I think around 60 boats that did it when we did it. And of course we were the old ladies, you know, the over 50 crew, and we just had so much fun, laughing… Susan Bratton: So it was all women. It was all of you were women. Susan Bratton: Wow! Susan Bratton: And you’re still paddling with those women, or? Susan Bratton: Uh huh. And how often do you go out paddling, ‘cause I know that’s, you like to swim, you like to paddle, these are the things you do to chill… Susan Bratton: which is, you know, beautiful. Roxanne Darling: I try to do it once or twice a week, and… Susan Bratton: Uh huh. Roxanne Darling: you know, I get busy and travel a lot… Susan Bratton: You do. Roxanne Darling: and get out of the groove, but… Roxanne Darling: it’s, it’s my, they’re my homegirls. Susan Bratton: Your homegirls, your paddling women. Susan Bratton: And you have not always lived in Hawaii, you’ve actually lived all over the world. You’re, you grew up in I think Ann Arbor, right, in the Michigan area? Roxanne Darling: Suburb of Detroit… Susan Bratton: Detroit. Roxanne Darling: (???) Hills, mm hmm. Susan Bratton: Mm hmm. And you’ve lived in New Mexico. I know you’ve lived in the Santa Fe, Albuquerque area. Susan Bratton: Where else, you lived in Santa Cruz. Roxanne Darling: Mm hmm, went to Cal. Susan Bratton: Went to Cal. Roxanne Darling: Berkley. Susan Bratton: Where else have you lived? Roxanne Darling: Born in North Carolina. Lived in Pennsylvania. Lived in Indiana. Lived for a while in the Virgin Islands. Susan Bratton: Oh my goodness. Roxanne Darling: Traveled a lot. Love traveling. Susan Bratton: Yeah, you are a traveler. Roxanne Darling: Anywhere, everywhere, I love to travel. I love people. Susan Bratton: You’re a very efficient traveler, too, I can tell just by how you pack your suitcase and, you just, you’re ready to go. Susan Bratton: Was it always your dream to live and work in Hawaii? Roxanne Darling: Ever since 1971, yes. And I took my… Susan Bratton: Well, what happened? Roxanne Darling: Well I was, you know, a sophomore in college. I was going to Berkley at the time. It was very, I mean, that was the Vietnam War… Roxanne Darling: the Berkley protest, all of it. Life was very serious… Roxanne Darling: And my dad had a sales trip there and invited me to join him and my mom, and I had a massage by a traditional Hawaiian healer who chanted over me before he began the massage, and then he started… Susan Bratton: Was it Lomi Lomi? Roxanne Darling: And started massaging me, and I just burst into tears. I mean, I just had this amazing experience. And, you know, of course I went scuba diving. I was studying marine biology at the time, so it was great, and I just thought this is my home. This is, you know, I’m the little ugly duckling that was dropped in the wrong nest and this is my nest. And it took me a very long time in finding Shane to actually figure out, you know, that I could actually move there and live there. Susan Bratton: Did you have to talk him into it or did you just say, “Shane”… Roxanne Darling: It was vice versa. Susan Bratton: Oh really? Susan Bratton: Oh. Roxanne Darling: We took a vacation there… Roxanne Darling: and he, at the airport, you know, he smells the Plumeria flower, he sees the open air hallways and he feels the climate, it’s very special, and he just says, “Uh, I think I’m moving here. You know, you can take another 18 trips, but”… Susan Bratton: And you do. You travel and he stays home a lot… Roxanne Darling: Mostly. Susan Bratton: I mean, he accompanies you a fair amount, but you keep him busy working… Susan Bratton: He’s a genius with video. Susan Bratton: He really is. You’re so lucky to have him. Roxanne Darling: Yeah, I am. And he takes care of Lexi, our dog… Roxanne Darling: Which anybody that watches Beach Walks, you know about Lexi. Susan Bratton: Everybody loves Lexi. She probably has as many fans as you do, I would imagine. Roxanne Darling: She does. She gets Christmas presents and birthday presents. Susan Bratton: That’s great. And you just had a birthday. Susan Bratton: Good. Happy birthday. Roxanne Darling: Thank you. Susan Bratton: That’s…was it a fun one? Did you do something fun? Roxanne Darling: Yes. My three year olds BFF had a party for me, and we played Pin the Pico on the Mermaid… Susan Bratton: Oh cute. Roxanne Darling: Which is put the bellybutton on the mermaid… Susan Bratton: Yeah, we know what a pico is now… Roxanne Darling: Yeah, we know what a pico is. Roxanne Darling: And we had a really, really nice time. Susan Bratton: That’s great. Well good. Well I would like to leave our listeners with maybe you just describing the beach where you walk on most days and how beautiful that is, and we’ll leave them with that beautiful visual. Does that sound good? Roxanne Darling: Sounds great. Susan Bratton: Alright. Roxanne Darling: Mm hmm. So we have the whitest, finest, most powdery sand, and the beach is very gently sloping out into the water, which allows us to get the most amazing turquoise and aquamarine colors. And then about a half a mile off shore is where the reef is, and you usually can see the white waves of the breakers that are breaking on the reef and that are slowed down so that inside our beautiful bay it’s very calm, it’s very gentle, it’s wonderful for swimming, the water is warm, and on Sunday’s you can see forever. Susan Bratton: Mm. Aloha. Roxanne Darling: Aloha. Mahalo. Susan Bratton: Mahalo.	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0107.json.gz/line381

Wolfenstein is a fictional world created by Silas Warner in 1981, based on Germany during World War II. Initially, the titles set in the universe were strictly military themed, but, in 1992, id Software began adding elements of science fiction and religious fiction to the world. The series now features a dozen games, a comic book series, many fan projects, and even an attempt to make a film, but it never materialized. The game series began as a stealth game where you would have to try and avoid guards and sneak through Nazi barracks, but id Software changed it into an action first-person shooter. Later titles continued with the strong action elements, but also began reintroducing stealth elements in certain missions. I didn't learn about the Wolfenstein franchise until over a decade after the first game had been released. The first game I saw in the series was Wolfenstein 3-D, and I assumed id Software created the game from scratch. I was at a friend's house who had acquired the shareware version of the game and I only saw a little bit, but I was really impressed, especially with the explicit cartoon gore and the screams the Nazis shouted out when you killed them! Later, my brother got a shareware release of Wolfenstein 3-D which had been modified using a map editor. I loved playing with the map editor and figuring out how it worked, and made my own weird levels. At some point, I got to finally sit down and play the an intact shareware copy by myself and really enjoyed the game. In the mid 1990s, a friend of mine lent me his pirated disks for the full game. After playing it for awhile, I quit the game and read the exit text where the developers threatened to erase my hard drive! I panicked and quickly deleted the game, however, after thinking about it for awhile, I doubted they would actually do that, and reinstalled it. Because I had been taught the MLI cheat code, I never tried to play the game seriously, and just cheated my way through every mission. Later, I learned about the -goobers code, which helped me understand more about the internal game engine. I made a lot of new maps for the game, but never bothered to save any of them. Around this time I also played a little bit of Spear of Destiny, but also never made an effort to try beat it. I remember seeing Return to Castle Wolfenstein on shelves at the mall, but never bought it or played it. Sometime around the late 2000s, I tried to actually play Wolfenstein 3-D properly and beat the first thee episodes on "Bring 'em on" difficulty. In 2018, I bought a Humble Bundle of Wolfenstein 3-D, Spear of Destiny, and Return to Castle Wolfenstein, finally becoming a legal owner, and played through Return and beat it. I wasn't that impressed with Return so I haven't sought out any of the more recent titles. Although I understand how important Wolfenstein has been to the gaming industry, I've never really cared much for the series because I've never really found any of the games to be really fun. They have wonderful shock value, and the 3D engine was a marvel at the time, but that isn't what makes a game enjoyable. 2 Other Titles 3.1 Logos 1981-??-??

Castle Wolfenstein and Beyond Castle Wolfenstein were released in the early 1980s, by Muse, then there was a dry spell. id Software successfully convinced Warner to let them expand the series and they created Wolfenstein 3-D in 1992, then made various expansion packs, and ported the tiles to many different platforms throughout the 1990s, but no unique titles were released until 2001 with Return to Castle Wolfenstein. There was another long gap until it was followed up with Wolfenstein, then another five years until the next game. However, in the past five years, the series has been seeing a new game once a year.

__label__wiki	0.728208	0.728208	Wayne Moore: Petition for Analysis The following is now circulating online in the form of a petition. Follow the pronouns. We look for an innocent person to tell us he did not do it: "I did not firebomb the building..." with the three component reliable denial: 1. Pronoun "I" 2. Past tense "did not" 3. Specific language: "firebomb the building" It is often the first thing someone writes, or says, when he did not do it. It is something the innocent say early, and often, and may not even wait to be asked, as long as the accusation is known. Rule: If the subject cannot bring himself to say he did not do it; we are not permitted to say it for him. In the below, does Wayne Moore tell us that he did not do it? First, a wikipedia entry about the case. We seek truth through statements. Whether the trial was fair or not, is not answered here, this is limited to the petition ascribed to Wayne Moore. We analyze only this statement, not the case, nor the evidence, nor the allegation of bribing witnesses, nor anyone's motives. This is strictly limited to analysis of the petition that bears the signature of Wayne Moore. 1. Wikipedia 2. Petition with Analysis In the 1960s and 1970s, African-American residents of Wilmington, North Carolina were unhappy with the lack of progress in implementing integration and other civil rights reforms legally achieved by the American Civil Rights Movement. Many struggled with poverty and lack of opportunity. The 1968 assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr.increased racial tensions, with a rise in violence, including the arson of several white-owned businesses. Racial tension increased after the 1969 integration of Wilmington high schools, as the city closed the black Williston High School, a source of community pride. It laid off black teachers, principals, and coaches, transferring students to other schools.[3] There was little preparation of whites or blacks for the changes. The school administration resisted meeting with the students to hear their grievances, including separation from friends and the lack of opportunity to play sports in new schools.[4]Several clashes between white and African-American students had resulted in a number of arrests and expulsions. In response to tensions, members of a Ku Klux Klan chapter and other white supremacist groups began patrolling the streets. They hung an effigy of the white superintendent of the schools and cut his phone lines. Street violence broke out between them and black men.[3] [2] Students decided to boycott the high schools in January 1971. In February, the United Church of Christ sent Reverend Benjamin Chavis, Jr., from their Commission for Racial Justice, to Wilmington to try to calm the situation and work with the students. He preached non-violence to them and met with students regularly at Gregory Congregational Church to discuss black history, as well as to organize the boycott. [edit]Arson at Mike's Grocery and trial On February 6, 1971, Mike's Grocery, a white-owned business, was firebombed. Firefighters responding to the fire said they were shot at by snipers from the roof of the nearby Gregory Congregational Church. Chavis and several students had been meeting at the church, which also held other people. The neighborhood erupted in rioting that lasted through the next day. The governor of the state called up the National Guard, whose forces entered the church on February 8 removed the suspects. They claimed to have found ammunition in the building. The violence resulted in two deaths, six injuries, and over $500,000 in property damage.[2] Chavis and nine others, eight young African American men who were high school students, and an older white woman, an anti-poverty worker, were arrested on charges of arson related to the grocery. Based on testimony of two African-American men, they were tried and convicted of arson and conspiracy in connection with the firebombing of Mike's Grocery. When I was 19, a prosecutor framed me and nine other civil rights activists for firebombing a building in Wilmington, NC. We were dubbed the Wilmington Ten, convicted by a jury that included multiple KKK members, and sentenced to 29 years in prison. At nineteen, I had dreams of becoming a lawyer or running for office. But when I was released on parole eight years after my conviction, I was shunned by my community and had trouble finding enough work to get by. Worst of all, after being away for so long, my children no longer trusted me. I'll never get back what I lost -- nor will the other nine people who were wrongly imprisoned. But we deserve to be officially declared innocent. The governor of North Carolina will issue her last pardons over the next two weeks, before she leaves office. I started a petition on Change.org asking Governor Perdue to reverse the injustice that tore our lives apart and pardon the members of the Wilmington Ten. Will you sign my petition? This is a good place to say he did not do it, and not take ownership of his conviction. "the conviction" is expected more than "my" conviction. Strongest would be "I did not firebomb the building in North Carolina" and then talk about a wrongful conviction. This is where it should start, with the reliable denial as the reason for writing. The Wilmington Ten were working together in 1971 to integrate public schools in our community. Jay Stroud is the District Attorney responsible for our unjust sentencing. He built his case on the testimony of three convicted felons, all of whom retracted their statements just a few years later. A few weeks ago, the notes he took during the trial were released. They show that Stroud bribed witnesses and tried to recruit a jury with as many white racists as possible -- one note next to a jury member read "possibly KKK good." I have been fighting against my wrongful conviction for decades, before and after I was released. I have struggled tremendously over the years to overcome the paralyzing effects of being imprisoned for crimes I never committed -- but I am determined to clear my name. Note that "crimes" is plural Note that "crimes I never committed" is not a reliable denial. Governors usually issue pardons during their last week in office, and with North Carolina's governor set to leave at the end of the year, this could be our last chance to get a pardon and send a message to the entire country that this injustice will not be tolerated. The city of Wilmington has already apologized. It is now time for the state of North Carolina to do the same by granting The Wilmington Ten a full pardon of innocence.Please sign my petition today and urge Governor Perdue to pardon me and the other members of the Wilmington Ten. Wayne Moore Wayne Moore does not take responsibility for anything, and yet he does not say, "I did not firebomb the store." His letter is all about him and what he has personally suffered because he was "framed." Its all.. "We" "Our" Sharing the Guilt. That is until it comes down to the petition. "(I)started a petition" Not(We)started a petition "Sign (MY) Petition"Not Sign (Our)petition. Didnt he care about anyone else when it came down to signing the petition. He wants to share the guilt but NOT the petition.. Apologies if this has been posted before. Drew Peterson Pours His Heart Out in Letters Written to Girl Half His Age “In all my relationships, I treated my partners like gold and spoiled them, which was probably a big mistake on my part,” Peterson wrote in one. You can lock Drew Peterson up for years, but you can’t stop him from sweet-talking the ladies on the outside. Peterson, the 58-year-old former Bolingbrook cop, accused killer and serial marrier charged with murdering one wife and suspected by the Illinois State Police of having a hand in another's disappearance, sent love letters from jail to a 26-year-old DuPage County woman throughout the spring of 2010. “Hello my love,” Peterson wrote to the young woman in one of the letters recently given to Patch. “I really miss you and keep dreaming about holding you … “You still got my heart and I hope you still (have) mine.” The lovestruck Peterson’s letters, all written in pencil on lined notebook paper, depict visions of romance, freedom from the bars that prevent him from dreaming, and a relationship in which he would spoil the object of his affections. But it’s not clear if Peterson, locked up in the Will County Jail for the last three years pending trial, ever actually met the woman he wanted to spend the rest of his life with. When contacted, the woman denied the letters were sent to her, but then demanded no story be written about them. She said a story about the letters would be “detrimental to character.” Peterson, whose trial on charges he murdered his third wife, Kathleen Savio, starts Tuesday, July 31, predicted in one letter that he would be released from jail. “You’ll see when I get out that I am a lot of fun,” he wrote. “You’ll always be laughing.” He also told his young love what a great guy he was to his past romantic “partners.” “In all my relationships I treated my partners like gold and spoiled them, which was probably a big mistake on my part,” Peterson lamented. “I was good to them and their families and ended up being taken advantage of. It’s sad all the people I have helped in my life have now turned their backs on me. Good—when I get out they won’t have me to use anymore.” And even though Peterson was charged with killing one of his wives and was named a suspect in the disappearance of another by the State Police, he let his latest love know she didn’t have to worry about him doing anything to hurt her. “I’ll never hurt you but don’t hurt me either,” Peterson said. “You already broke my heart once. But I do understand.” Contd. The four-times married and thrice-divorced Peterson went on to write of how all his loves have disappointed him. “I have always spoiled all my partners and was let down by all of them.” He also writes: “I need to be the most important thing in my partner’s life and my partner needs to be the most important thing in my life. No matter what. Please tell me what you want from me. I still love you but I’m gonna be cautious. I don’t want to jump in with both feet and get hurt again.” Just in case the young woman was being a little too cautious, maybe because she heard or read or saw stuff about what Peterson allegedly did to get himself locked up—drowning one ex-wife, not to mention the mystery surrounding the one who disappeared—he didn’t hesitate to set her straight. “Let me try to clear some things up for you,” he wrote. “The book Fatal Vows was a crock of s--- written by a guy trying to sensationalize my situation and make a quick buck.” And with all that cleared up, Peterson let his young love know what she must do to make him hers. “So if you want me, be good to me,” he wrote. "Make me happy. Just love me and be faithful to me and I’ll give you the same and live to make yours happy. Be my best friend. Love me unconditionally.” And it’s not all take and no give with Peterson. In fact, he had some tips for the woman as she pursued a career as a police officer. “As for being a cop, you don’t have to disclose your relationship with me,” he told her. “And if you get hired, don’t say anything until you’re off probation to anyone.” Predictions for the length of Peterson’s murder trial have ranged from as brief as a week to as long as five. At the end of that time, the accused wife-killer will find out if he will realize his dream of the recipient of his letters being “all in love and planning a lifetime with (him) in Michigan.” “I do love you and am hoping for a future with us. Hang on to that sweetie. Take care of yourself for me. I’m really trying to get to you,” Peterson swooned. “Give us something to hang onto and dream about,” he pleaded. “I want to build a new life for me and the kids. Please be in it. “I haven’t dreamed since I have been in here,” Peterson wrote. “I now know why some animals die in captivity. It kills your spirit and will to live if you let it. “Again I love you. Don’t break my heart again.” Ooops heres the link. http://bolingbrook.patch.com/articles/drew-peterson-love-letters-jail-trial OT> Father jailed for injuring his baby protests innocence in letter to Leicester Mercury A father who was jailed for inflicting devastating injuries on his seven-week-old daughter is protesting his innocence from his prison cell. In a letter to the Leicester Mercury, Zak Whitlock continues to deny he is a "violent monster" and questions the validity of the medical evidence which helped convict him. Zak Whitlock Instead, he maintains the youngster, now 20 months and permanently brain damaged, suffered the injuries in an accidental fall. Whitlock was jailed in May after a jury at Leicester Crown Court decided he had deliberately fractured the baby's skull and broken one of her ribs, and found him guilty of grievous bodily harm with intent. In a three-page letter to the Mercury, Whitlock criticised media coverage of the case, including the Leicester Mercury's reports. Writing from HMP Albany, on the Isle of Wight, which houses sex offenders and other "vulnerable" prisoners, Whitlock said: "I am innocent and I will not stop claiming my innocence until it is proven. "And, as for you the media, making me out to be some kind of violent monster that in your words beat my child makes me sick and annoyed. "I was there when the accident happened and witnessed it with my own eyes. "My daughter did accidentally fall from my arms, it was not planned or intentional. It was an accident which I am fully sorry for but it wasn't my fault. "Accidents happen all the time around the world and unfortunately one happened to me. "And now because of this I am suffering. Is that what justice has become? I am a loving, caring dad to three beautiful girls and I am very proud of them. "I would not under any circumstances hurt any of my children. "All I have ever done is support, love and care for my children and for someone to tell the world that does not know me from Adam that I am a child abuser is heart-breaking. "On the day of my birthday when the accident happened I did everything to help my daughter when she became ill. "I was calm and very focused that my daughter was getting the medical treatment. "So does that mean I am a bad father for keeping calm and focused on my daughter's medical treatment? "There have been numerous times when medical evidence has been incorrect. So how can you be so sure the evidence they gave was correct?" Whitlock did not refer to any intention to launch an official appeal against his conviction. His legal representatives said they were unaware of the letter and could not speak to the Leicester Mercury about the case because he had not instructed them to. Experts at Whitlock's trial testified the force of the impact, against a wall or floor, inflicted on the child was the equivalent of a strike with a cricket bat and could not have been caused by a simple fall. http://www.thisisleicestershire.co.uk/m-innocent/story-12065835-detail/story.html Nanna Frances said... He did not say he did not do it. We cannot say it for him. It is interesting that he refers to his children not trusting after he was gone for so long. At 19 he had children.

Link: http://www.change.org/petitions/nc-governor-bev-perdue-ncgovoffice-pardon-the-wilmington-ten To: The Governor of NC NC Governor Bev Perdue I just signed the following petition addressed to: NC Governor Beverly Perdue... Pardon the Wilmington Ten In 1972, ten young activists - nine black males and one white female - were falsely convicted of conspiracy and the firebombing of a white-owned grocery store in Wilmington, NC. during the height of racial tensions, which erupted there following protests of racial discrimination during the desegregation of the local school system. As a result of these convictions, the Ten were collectively sentenced to 282 years in prison, and, individually, served between four and six years in prison. These convictions and sentencing sparked national protests and gained international attention and condemnation. In 1977, the three State’s witnesses, who testified against the Ten, recanted their testimonies in court. The CBS News’ program “60 Minutes” then exposed the State’s evidence as “fabricated” by prosecutors, and in 1980, the US Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals overturned the convictions based upon that Court’s independent determinations that the Prosecutor and the Trial Judge allowed the introduction of perjured testimony and with-held critical evidence which defense attorneys were entitled to receive. The frame-up was exposed, but the State of North Carolina has never declared the Ten innocent, nor have the fabricated charges been dismissed against them. Though freed and cleared, they’ve had to live out their lives under an unjust cloud. The undersigned individuals hereby demand that North Carolina Governor Beverly Perdue now, forty years later, officially grant pardons of actual innocence to each of, as of August 3, 2012, the six surviving members and four deceased members, of the Wilmington Ten. Justice has been denied for too long. The people have been charged with deliberating setting off a deadly gas explosion that decimated an Indianapolis neighborhood in the hopes of collecting an insurance settlement. The house's owner, Monserrate Shirley; her boyfriend, Mark Leonard; and his brother, Bob Leonard, were arrested Friday and charged with murder, arson, and several other counts for their role in the Nov. 10 blast that killed two people. Authorities said Shirley, 47, was motivated by mounting financial worries including $63,000 in credit card debt and bankruptcy proceedings. Mark Leonard had allegedly just 'lost a ton of money' - roughly $10,000 - at a casino just three weeks before the explosion. Investigators determined that Shirley's home - at the epicenter of the devastating blast that killed her neighbors, John Dion Longworth, 34, and his 36-year-old wife Jennifer Longworth - filled up with gas after a gas fireplace valve and a gas line regulator were removed. A microwave, probably set to start on a timer, sparked the explosion and flattened much of the Richmond Hills subdivision in the far south of the city, he said. Marion County prosecutor Terry Curry called it a 'thoroughly senseless act.' He said his office would review whether to pursue the death penalty or life in prison without parole against the three. Randall Cable, the attorney for Shirley and Mark Leonard, said he was stunned by their arrest. 'I'm just as surprised as everyone else that they've made an arrest. My clients have consistently indicated their innocence,' he said. Investigators found that Shirley and Mark Leonard had tried but failed to blow up the home a week earlier, and that Leonard had told an acquaintance the house and Shirley's jewelry were insured for $300,000. A man fitting Bob Leonard's description was seen at Shirley's home on the day of the explosion, and investigators believe this is when the gas line and valve were tampered with. Cable has said the couple was at a southern Indiana casino when the explosion happened. Shirley's daughter was staying with a friend, and the family's cat was being boarded. Bob and Mark Leonard told investigators they had last seen each other four days before the explosion, but investigators found surveillance video from two businesses showing them together on the two days before the blast. The day before the blast, the brothers allegedly spoke with an employee of local gas utility Citizens Energy and asked various questions about gas, including the differences between propane and natural gas, the role of a regulator in a house and controlling the flow of natural gas and how much gas it would require to fill a house. On the day after the explosion, Bob Leonard allegedly called his son and asked him to retrieve a bag and six or seven boxes from a white van outside his mobile home that he said were filled with items he had salvaged from Shirley's home after the blast. 'That, of course, is impossible because everything in the house was destroyed. Plus no one was allowed access to the property after the explosion,' Curry said. The late-night blast, which was heard from miles away, destroyed five houses including the Longworths' home, damaged about 90 more and sent residents fleeing, some in their pajamas. Officials ordered the demolition of about three dozen of the mostly heavily damaged homes and say the blast caused an estimated $4.4 million in damage. Shirley has said Leonard had replaced the thermostat and that the furnace was working. Cable has said the daughter told her mother she had smelled an odd odor in recent weeks, but that they hadn't reported it. The blast killed 34-year-old John Dion Longworth and 36-year-old Jennifer Longworth, who lived next door to the home which believed to have been was pumped with gas. According to experts, the spark that set of the explosions could have been activated from the outside using a remote control commonly used to turn on an electrical device such as a TV or air conditioner. Jay Siegel, a forensic and investigative consultant, told The Star that the detonation would have occurred when the concentration of gas inside the home reached 10 per cent. Those revelations came amid a flurry of rumors regarding arrests being made and suspects being taken in for questioning in the case that have since been disproved by top police officials. Indianapolis police Captain Craig Converse said that investigators are currently busy interviewing people and following tips. Another law enforcement official said that two people were interviewed Tuesday, but neither was arrested or charged. Police also said they served a warrant to obtain property, and another warrant to obtain fingerprints, but declined to identify the recipients of the two documents. Investigators had taken into possession and inspected a white van that was allegedly spotted in the neighborhood on the afternoon of the explosion, but declined to reveal the identity of the vehicle’s owner or its connection to the case. On Monday, authorities launched a homicide investigation into the case. Indianapolis Homeland Security Director Gary Coons made the announcement after meeting with residents of the subdivision where the November 10 blast occurred and just hours after funerals were held for the two victims. 'We are turning this into a criminal homicide investigation,' Coons said, though he didn't indicate whether police had any suspects. Officials have said they believe natural gas was involved in the explosion, which leveled two homes and left dozens more uninhabitable. Investigators have been focusing on appliances as they search for a cause. Funerals were held earlier Monday for the couple killed in the explosion, 34-year-old John Dion Longworth and 36-year-old Jennifer Longworth. The Longworths were asleep in the home next to the epicenter of the explosion, which belongs to a woman named Monserrate Shirley Ms Shirley and her boyfriend Mark Leonard weer out of town at the time of the blast. The Indiana Star reports that Ms Shirley's daughter was staying with friends and the family's cat was at a kennel, meaning that no one in the family was injured. She told the paper that she does not know why the explosion happened because her furnace was working properly even though her ex-husband asserted otherwise. Her current boyfriend, Mr Leonard, has an extensive criminal record which includes arrests for several felonies like intimidation, stalking, dealing marijuana and possession of a narcotic. The couple was out of town visiting a casino at the time of the blast. Attorney Randy Cable, who represents Shirley and Leonard, said in a statement that his clients 'remain horrified at the tragic events, destruction and loss of lives that occurred and have been cooperating with the authorities since their return to Indianapolis over the weekend.' The statement goes on to say that the couple have 'cooperated fully' with the investigation and have answered 'each and every question, including speculation as to whether they may have been targeted by anyone.' She said firefighters later put out the flames and searchers then went through the rubble and damaged homes one at a time in case others were left behind. At least one body has been recovered. The latest estimates for the cost of the damage total $4.4million. Some witnesses said in televised reports that they heard people screaming 'help me! help me!' after the explosion and fire and that two parents and two children were safely pulled from one house that caught fire. 'This looks like a war zone; it really does,' Hensley told The Associated Press. 'Police officers and fire department officials remain at the scene searching for other possible victims.' She said they used search lights until dawn as they peered into the damaged and ruined homes. The explosion at 11pm Saturday destroyed two houses that were side by side and spread fire to two other nearby homes in the neighborhood on the south side of Indianapolis, she said, adding at least 14 other homes were damaged in the area by the blast's shock wave or flying debris it kicked up. U.S. Rep. Andre Carson said he had received that report from Homeland Security officials during a tour of the devastated middle-class subdivision. The roaring explosion ripped through 31 homes, claimed two victims and forced about 200 people to evacuate a devastated Indianapolis neighborhood on Sunday. Two living victims were taken to a hospital with minor injuries after the explosion and fire, said Lieut. Bonnie Hensley, with the Indianapolis Fire Department Aerial photographs of the once-tidy neighborhood of one- and two-story homes showed at least two had been reduced to blackened pits of debris. Other homes had sections gutted by fire or holes in their roofs or exterior walls. Siding dangled from the outside of other homes, and crumpled garage doors hung from houses nearby. Pieces of wood and other building materials littered the street and surrounding properties. he blast was heard for miles all around, and authorities said they had no immediate information on the cause. An investigation by fire and other agencies was under way. Reports said the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives also was involved. Many people were asleep at the time and had to be evacuated in pajamas, scooping up their pets as they left hastily, authorities said. They left what some described as a chaotic scene of tall flames rising on the Indianapolis skyline. Survivors reported shattered windows, caved-in walls and garage doors knocked off their hinges. And of the two homes that were leveled by the blast, Hensley said: 'There's nothing left.' Complicating the pre-dawn search of the neighborhood, authorities did not know definitively how many people were in the neighborhood when the blast occurred. 'People scattered when all this happened, so we're not really sure how many people we're looking for,' Hensley said. Bryan and Trina McClellan were at home with their 23-year-old son Eric when the shock wave from the blast a block away shuddered through their home. It knocked the windows out along one side of their home and their first instinct was to check on their two toddler grandchildren in the basement. One was holding his ears and saying "Loud noise, loud noise." Eric McClellan said he ran afterward to the scene of the explosion and saw homes leveled or nearly so. 'Somebody was trapped inside one of the houses and the firefighters were trying to get to him. I don't know if he survived,' he said, adding firefighters were trying to save a man. He said he didn't know the man's fate as firefighters ordered him to leave. All power, gas and other utilities were shut off as a precaution as emergency officials swarmed the site Approximately 200 people were taken to an elementary school where only about 15 to 25 remained through the night, sleeping on cots. Most of the evacuees subsequently left to stay with relatives, friends or at hotels. The powerful blast caught sleeping people unaware. Pam Brainerd, a 59-year-old hospice nurse, said she was asleep on her couch when the tremendous explosion rocked the neighborhood, blowing out the upstairs windows in her house. 'I was sleeping on the sofa and all of a sudden, my upstairs windows were blowing out and my front door was falling in,' Brainerd told AP. 'My front door came off the frame. It was the largest bang I've ever heard.' Right after the explosion she stepped outside to see what she described tall flames one street away. 'There was a house engulfed in flames and I could see it spreading to other houses,' she added At the elementary school, authorities sought to impose order and calm on an initial scene of confusion. Some evacuees milled about the elementary school in pajamas and coats they grabbed as they left their homes. Some had their dogs on leashes and one lady had evacuated her home with a cat. Beyond the school's parking lot, smoke was still visible, rising in the distance before dawn. The smoke was illuminated by bright lights of emergency responders.

Drudge Report saying the creep currently ruining the country gave deceased Senator Inouye's eulogy, problem was he kept talking about himself instead of Inouye. Narcissist. When I was 19, a prosecutor framed me and nine other civil rights activists for firebombing a building in Wilmington, NC. He claims he was framed by a prosecutor yet doesn't give us a proper introduction. He then later blames a named DA for the unjust sentencing. Are these 2 different individuals or the same one? Why is he angry at the unjust sentencing (specifically) and not the prosection of the crime? To be framed indicates there must have been evidence provided that incrimated the accused.. He therefore tells us there is evidence showing guilt yet denies his guilt. Jay Stroud is the District Attorney responsible for our unjust sentencing. Unjust SENTECING not unjust PROSECUTION? His gripe then is not about being wrongly prosecuted and jailed, his complaint as written is about the sentence he received. He built his case on the testimony of three convicted felons, all of whom retracted their statements just a few years later. Three is the liar's number (Mark McClish) At nineteen, I had dreams of becoming a lawyer or running for office. But when I was released on parole eight years after my conviction But negates the previous sentence (the dreams of becoming a lawyer or running for office) I wonder how he did in school and what grades he got. Would they be enough to get him the qualification he wanted. He takes ownership of the conviction with the word MY If he was innocent as claimed he would not take ownership of said conviction. ." I have been fighting against my wrongful conviction for decades, before and after I was released. I have struggled tremendously over the years to overcome the paralyzing effects of being imprisoned for crimes I never committed -- but I am determined to clear my name. Have the rest not been fighting their wrongful convictions? Are they guilty of the crime and he is not?. Crimes is plural. But negates the previous sentence, in this case, crimes i never committed, indicating their are crimes he has committed. At no point does he say I did not firebomb Mike's Grocery If he can't say it, we can't say it for him. This should be the first thing he says in his letter and then he should then go on to explain why he did not do it. He also speaks only for himself and none of the others. If he was wrongly convicted as were they he should be writing on behalf of them all, they either all did it or none or them did. I wonder if they took polygraphs? If so what were the results? If not why not? Would he be prepared to take a polygraph today? Would it be possible to get him on the show where we can ask appropriate questions and discern the truth and the deception? Could he be saying "my conviction " because it is personal to him considering he served it ? Could he be saying "my conviction" because it is personal to him considering he served it ? It is possible, however, we don't interpret what we think he meant only the words he actually uses. He takes ownership of his conviction,if he was wrongly convicted he would not take ownership of the conviction, it would be the conviction or that conviction (this is close that is distancing) He served a sentence not a conviction. Hobs, While learning SA i have to check myself most times NOT to interpret,i find that is one of the most difficult things to grasp given that most people have a propensity to interpret what others say. ~Damn you SA~ ~Damn you SA Some find it easier than others to distance themselves from the emotion of what is being said. We want to believe what we are being told and as a precept in SA we have to assume the subject is speaking the truth, however unpalatable it is. When we interpret what we think the subject meant we are using our own life experiences and knowledge and placing ourselves in their place. When we do that we are not analysing the subject we are, rather, analysing ourselves. It is hard to take a step back from the situation, to not buy into the drama, emotion and hype. It is easier for many to read the written word rather than listen to the statement, it allows them to ignore the physical side of the statement allowing them to concentrate on the words spoken. I know i find myself often closing my eyes when listening to someone making a statement. It allows me to focus only to what is being said, i can always look at the body language side of things later once i have worked out what has been said as well as what has NOT been said. I see it as a path or a maze, the truth is in the centre. There are side paths and dead ends, i know where i should be going and when the path leads me away from the expected i take note. When a person is deceptive they have a reason to be deceptive and i find it fun to wander down the paths of decption to see where they lead, often they lead to a little nugget of truth which has been used as the basis for the lie. Sometimes it is obvious other times it is hidden, the lie by ommission so to speak. By following the paths i find i learn more about the subject than they know they have revealed, their thinking, what makes them tick. Once i have analysed a statement i like to watch the interview if it available to see their body language as they come to the areas i have flagged and then see if they match. Perhaps this is why i love people watching and striking up conversations with strangers, or they strike up conversations with me (they always end up telling me their life story) I am a nosey lil Hobnob Hobs said, That is a cracking tip Hobs. beasy said...

Enter your email address to stay in touch From flagship to complete failure NHS privatisation: ‘miracle cure’ hospital is quack remedy Duncan Milligan, Monday, January 12th, 2015 Hailed as a ‘miracle cure’ the first hospital privatisation has turned out to be a quack remedy. It took less than two years for the privatisation of Hinchingbrooke hospital to move from being a ‘miracle cure’ to just another quack remedy sold to us by Tory snake oil salesmen. The hospital is now on life support – placed in special measures – and private sector company Circle Holdings told the London Stock Exchange it planned to walk away. Circle’s move came hours before a damning Care Quality Commission (CQC) report found patient safety at risk, a lack of care and poor leadership. The Commission’s report highlights a blame culture, the bullying and harassment of staff and poor governance. Hinchingbrooke, in Cambridgeshire, became the first NHS hospital to be handed to private sector management. It was a flagship for privatisation and hailed as a ‘miracle cure’ by those backing further NHS privatisation. ‘Inadequate’ It was the first time any hospital had been declared “inadequate”. The CQC holed the privatisation flagship below the waterline in its damning report. The report’s detailed findings are worse than reports in national newspapers suggest. It found one ward where care was “inadequate and there were risks to patient safety”. A high priority of all health care sites is controlling infections. The CQC found at Hinchingbrooke: “Infection control practices were not always complied with.” Other problems identified included: “People in some areas of the trust were at risk of avoidable harm. The evidence in the location reports for A&E, surgery, medicine and end of life care highlight these risks. We rated this aspect of care inadequate.” The provision of care on one medical ward “required urgent action to ensure the safety of patients; this was raised with management during the inspection visit.” The CQC inspectors witnessed directly issues which “raised concerns that there was a blame culture at the hospital…The staff survey showed that staff felt bullied and harassed by managers.” Staff was praised for their desire to help patients. “We found many instances of staff wishing to care for patients in the best way, but unable to raise concerns or prevent service demands from severely impinging on the quality and kindness of care for patients.” Privatisation backers often cite the alleged benefits of private sector management. The CQC report suggests otherwise with a call to “take action to reduce the overburdensome administration processes” when admitting patients for acute assessment. ‘Not sufficiently robust’ There was also a breakdown in understanding who was responsible for accountability. “Both the Circle management team and the trust board told us that the other was responsible for holding the trust’s executive team to account. We considered that the governance systems in place were not sufficiently robust.” Prof Sir Mike Richards, the CQC’s chief inspector of hospitals, said: “Our inspection at Hinchingbrooke Health Care NHS Trust highlighted a number of serious concerns, surrounding staffing and risks to patient safety particularly in the A&E department and medical care. There were substantial and frequent staff shortages in the A&E department. “There were a number of other areas of concern, some of which related to the way in which the trust is led and run. This is the first time that CQC has rated a trust inadequate for ‘caring’. Our findings highlight the significant failings at Hinchingbrooke hospital.” A formal report to the London Stock Exchange by Circle points to the contract running into significant financial difficulties. It was only £116,000 short of hitting a £5m debt ceiling at which the contract could be terminated. The implication is that Hinchingbrooke was rapidly becoming ‘Hinching-broke.’ The company blamed rising demand and NHS funding cuts for the contract hitting financial problems. It said there were “unprecedented increases in accident and emergency attendances, insufficient care places for patients awaiting discharge, and funding levels that have not kept pace with demand. These conditions have significantly worsened in recent weeks and, save for the £5m cap on aggregate payments, it is highly likely that Circle would be obliged to make further support payments that would exceed the £5m cap. “Funding for Hinchingbrooke has been cut by approximately 10.1 per cent this financial year. To maintain the standards that patients deserve will therefore require substantial investment for the foreseeable future, on top of the £5 million we are contractually obliged to provide.” Unite general secretary Len McCluskey said, “ Hinchingbrooke has gone full circle from flagship to complete failure. This is proof that the privatisation of the NHS is a disastrous experiment at the expense of our healthcare. We believe Circle jumped before it was pushed with the company cynically using the A&E crisis as cover to pull out of its contract. “It’s time to scrap the disastrous health and social care act which has opened the door to the wholesale privatisation of the NHS and for David Cameron to use his veto in Europe to get the NHS out of TTIP. The disastrous management of Hinchingbrooke is also a warning on why our NHS should not be included in this trade deal called TTIP. “If the deal goes through it would give US companies and US investors rights to sue the UK for unlimited sums if a government ever tried to take renationalise NHS contracts. David Cameron must use his veto to get the NHS out of TTIP.” Circle has been at the heart of the Tory plot to carve up our NHS making donations to the MPs who voted for the health and social care act, to lobbying for the trade deal which could make the NHS sell-off irreversible. The city hedge fund bosses who own Circle are major Conservative Party donors. Lansdowne Partners is owned by Paul Ruddock who donated £340,801.00 Invesco Perpetual was founded by Sir Martyn Arbib, who has donated £206,600.00. Invesco owns 28.7 per cent of Circle Odey Asset Management is owned by Robin Crispin Odey, who has donated £94,000.00 and owns a 14.8 per cent stake in Circle BlueCrest Capital has a five per cent stake in Circle. Chief Executive Michael Platt has gifted the party £125,000.00. Want to know more?

Yes, even though it’s unofficial and Montana residents have to still show up at the office, today is Montana Day. The prideful day comes from the fact that the entire state of Montana only has one area code, 406, so naturally, April 6th is the perfect day to celebrate all of the things that make the Treasure State amazing. I put a call out to my friends on social media hoping they would share what they love about Montana. Both locals and frequent visitors came together and helped me identify some must-see spots in this massive state. Some are obviously well known, but others should have you getting directions on Google Maps in no time. And the results show us that even though today is ‘Montana Day’, there really is no bad day to visit Montana. It’s hard to not think of Glacier National Park when you think of Montana. Known for some of the best landscapes in all of the United States, the ‘Crown of the Continent’ is home to headwaters that flow to the Pacific Ocean, the Gulf of Mexico, and Hudson’s Bay. The park is made up of over 1 million acres which house two mountain ranges, 130 lakes, and countless wildlife, making this 107-year old park one of the most impressive locations in not only Montana, but in the United States. One of my favorite landscape photographers, Scotty Perkins summed Glacier National Park up perfectly. I’ve been to most of the US national parks, and Glacier National Park remains my favorite. The diversity of landscapes coupled with the towering relief of the mountains make it unlike any other place. It’s truly special. Photo by Scotty Perkins Photo by Michael Bonocore Photo by Birds Eye of Big Sky Glacier National Park…in the Winter Now, Glacier National Park is very popular in the summer when the famous ‘Going to the Sun’ Road is open, usually from late June till October. But as Caroline Foster from Wilderness Addict tells us, some of the best views and moments of solitude don’t happen in summer, but rather, in the winter. Glacier is a mountain lovers dream frequented by millions over the summer months. Unbeknownst to many is the magic of this mountainous paradise during the colder months. A common misconception is that Glacier is “closed” once the Going to the Sun Road shuts down for the season. The truth is, this is when the crowds disappear and the magic happens. Imagine sunsets at Lake McDonald with only a deer family to share it with. Cross country skiing into Two Medicine without seeing a soul, only some fresh mountain lion tracks. Biking or taking a stroll along the closed going to the sun road with just an Elk herd for company. Quiet moments of contemplation on the old Belton Bridge while perfect slowflakes float down slowly from the sky. These are just a few reason why Glacier in the winter is pure magic. Photo by @Wilderness_Addict Kalispell & Flathead Valley Flathead Valley is located between Glacier National Park and Flathead Lake, which is the largest natural freshwater lake west of the Mississippi. Kalispell is the largest town in the valley, but with a population of just 22,000 people, it’s obvious that the entire region is quiet and secluded. Danielle De Leon and Matt Ragan from Birds Eye of Big Sky have made countless films across all of Montana, but still feel that this is one of the prettiest locations in the state. If Danielle ever stops making films, she would be an awesome tourism representative. From mountainous sights like Lincoln Peak and Bowman Lake in Glacier National Park, to the shores of Bigfork and Polson on Flathead Lake; Northwest Montana has an abundant supply of breath-taking scenics. Not to mention the various lakes and reservoirs along the Rocky Mountains that are accessible for all ages and athletic levels, such as Echo Lake, Hungry Horse Reservoir, and other secret reservoirs near Missoula, Montana. Whether it’s winter or summer, activities on Whitefish Mountain Resort provide panoramic views of the lovely Flathead Valley and surrounding area, which is comprised of Columbia Falls “Glacier Gateway,” Whitefish, and Kalispell. Polson/Flathead Lake Danielle De Leon from Birds Eye of Big Sky says the town of Polson and the region around Flathead Lake is some of the most remarkable in the state. Polson is primarily protected by the Indian reservations, which has preserved the amazing farmlands and plains at the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. The extraordinary openness of the plains leaves one feeling free to roam, yet secure from the surrounding mountain ranges in the distance. Polson truly embodies the Big Sky feeling our state got it’s nickname from. Flathead Lake is the largest fresh water lake west of the Mississippi, and was historically used as to transport goods via boat as settlers moved north. This explorer mentality was passed on through generations, which fed the creation of highways around the lake and ultimately the Going-To-The-Sun Road in Glacier National Park; which is by far the most beautiful stretch of road one could ever drive on. As summertime rolls around, lake-side bars and restaurants fill up their docks and Flathead Lake gets extremely popular as boaters venture out to soak up the sunshine. Hungry Horse Reservoir and Dam This massive body of water leads to Montana’s biggest dam, the aptly named Hungry Horse Dam. Not only is the dam photogenic, but the reservoir is a perfect place to play, surrounded by color-filled forests. Primitive campgrounds can be found along the road, which will make for a remote, quiet night in the Montana backcountry. I would consider Hungry Horse Reservoir a local, well-kept treasure, as many people traveling through don’t realize this tucked away escape is so accessible. Spanning 34 miles long, this large and narrow body of water has a lot of camping spot, with access to Jewel Basin, Great Bear, and Bob Marshall Wilderness areas. The rocky shores transform into acres of forest that quickly ascend into the Swan Mountain Range. This feeling of enclosure and seclusion conveys the sanctuary-esc feeling that may boaters and fisherman come here for. -Danielle De Leon from Birds Eye of Big Sky Bitterroot Mountains The Bitterroot Mountains encompass nearly 5,000 square miles in Western Montana and the panhandle of Idaho, and each one of those miles seems to hold endless adventure, based on these incredible photos by Chad Copeland. Photo by Chad Copeland Devil’s Slide Just like the name implies, Devil’s Slide is a very cool looking rock formation of Cinnabar Mountain located in Gallatin National Forest. Just north of Yellowstone, the best vantage point is right on Highway 89. Crow Fair Created 113 years ago, the Crow Fair was a way to bring the Crow Tribe of Indians into modern society. Today, it is the largest Native American gathering in North America, bringing 45,000 people to the land around Little Big Horn River near Billings. All Native American Tribes are welcome, and the event has been labled the ‘giant family reunion under the Big Sky’ Photographer Chris Douglas has documented this incredible event and his photos are awesome. He told me: The Crow Fair is a giant family reunion, where the Apsaalooke eat and camp together and their traditions are strenghtened. The event includes parades, a four-day powwow, rodeo and horse races, including the famous Indian Relay. Debra Winter, a writer, photographer, and wanderer loves small towns, and two of them are in her all time favorite locations in Montana The historical town of Livingston is the first city I visited in Montana and it immediately imprinted a visual definition of the state in my mind. The turn of the century red brick facades, decorated with either 1950’s style neon signage or awnings with old western fonts, now house cafes, hotels, and bookstores. Smitten by “wild west” and “outlaw” nostalgia this small city quickly became my favorite. –Debra Winter Montana’s Yellowstone When I stopped at the Yellowstone tourism office at the north entrance of the park, the guide promised that Lamar Valley is America’s equivalent to the Serengeti. Rugged, white capped mountains, fringe the low flat valley, where bison run in in herds, with an occasional renegade doing its own thing mulling about near the road. Lamar Valley offers such an intriguing backdrop that it easily took six hours for me to complete a one and half hour journey. -Debra Winter Home to many writers and photographers, Paradise Valley was high on my list of places to see. Wedged between mountain ranges on both sides, and dotted with ranches, the Paradise Valley proves every Montanan photo correct – there is no way to photograph this place without it looking like a painting. While there are plenty of open bare spaces – basically endless fields, I found even these inspiring and photo-worthy. -Debra Winter The “Hub of Five Valleys” has become the second most populated city in Montana thanks to its seamless mixture of city and outdoor life, which is also home to the University of Montana. The state ranks #2 in the country for craft breweries per capita, and Missoula houses many of them. One of those breweries, KettleHouse, is completing an amphitheater on their property in Bonner, just outside of Missoula which will host world famous acts on the stage built right on the edge of the Blackfoot River. My friend Lisa Timman describes Missoula in just two sentences. Missoula has the coolest vibe, an artsy little town. “Keep Missoula Weird” is a very popular bumper sticker in this town. Photo by KettleHouse Amphitheater Photo by Lisa Timman I recently spent a night at ‘The Filling Station‘ in Bozeman photographing the band The Brothers Comatose, and wow, what a fun night that was. Bozeman knows how to party, but as Sigma’s Patrick Santucci told me, it’s important to look past the downtown and head to the outskirts of the city lines. Bozeman is a picturesque town that has incredible food, sightseeing and amenities. Not only does this town offer an ideal escape from bigger cities, but for wildlife and nature lovers, you have everything you could ask for within driving distance.

__label__cc	0.559221	0.440779	Illtalian 2008-2018 \| @Illtalian @trackstarz Ashley Korth 3 September, 2018 Written by: Nabi Kauai, Hawaii – Every journey has a destination. It is a place where one stops, takes stock of the road they have traveled, looks out to a new horizon and whispers “Mahalo.” What began at 15 years of age produced the state of Hawaii’s highest recognition for music. Christian Hip Hop (CHH) artist Illtalian began with a life goal of winning a Na Hoku Hanohano, also known as the Hawaiian Grammy, and earlier this year that goal became a reality. Illtalian, known to family and friends as Thomas Iannucci, accomplished what he set out to do when he began his musical journey. Thomas has now announced the upcoming release of the last ‘Illtalian’ single. The track is titled “Just Hold (Hoku)” and will be released via Nectar Elite Distribution. With production by fellow Nectar artist PoetiCS, Iannuci shares the story of his accomplishment with those who supported and played a role in his achievement. The single will be available on all major digital outlets, including Spotify and iTunes, on September 17, 2018. Cover art for the single was released along with the song’s announcement. It is shown below: During his time as ‘Illtalian’, Iannuci has represented his faith, culture, and the state of Hawaii with a passion that no one could ignore. His unique voice and lyrical gift connected with CHH fans deeply, creating a devout fan base. Since the announcement of “Just Hold”, those fans have taken to social media, trying to understand what is currently happening with Iannuci. While uncertainty abounds in the current landscape, there one simple truth that should not be ignored. Whether or not this is truly the final work that we hear from Illtalian, we should not miss out on the greatness that is sure to be “Just Hold”. “He really killed this,” said PoetiCS. “I’m super proud of my brother…[it will be] a great way to send him off.” “I can’t think of anyone else I’d want to make a last song with. PoetiCS is amazing,” said Thomas. “Just Hold recaps and celebrates my biggest achievement as a rapper. It emphasizes the idea that no matter the good or the bad that life may throw at you, Jesus will always be there for you. It seemed like the perfect way to end the story of Illtalian.” “After over a decade of rapping, I have simply decided that it is time for a change. When I was 15 years old I decided I wanted to be a rapper. I’m 26 now and as much as I have enjoyed making this music as Illtalian, I’m definitely in a different place in my life than I was ten years ago. I’m not in school anymore; I work two jobs; I have to pay rent. Recently I have been thinking a lot about the future. Though it may not make sense to everyone, Illtalian is only one facet of my life. I exist outside of Illtalian. I have several hobbies that I would like to get back into that I really enjoy, like Jiujutsu and writing. These things have been on hold and the only way I see to do them all is to simply be Thomas Iannucci.” “To be real, Hip Hop is very time consuming, not to mention expensive. It is an incredible blessing and, as with all things, I have to look towards the future. I believe I have gone as far as I can go as Illtalian. I look forward to moving towards better and greater things, no matter where they exist.” As part of the Nectar family, Trackstarz fully supports Thomas as he continues his journey. God always has a plan to use all things for His good and we know that He is just getting started with Thomas. It will be exciting to see him mature in his walk, no matter where that takes him. He always has a home here with us. Get ready to grab “Just Hold (Hoku)” on September 17. Let’s send Illtalian out in a way that only CHH is capable of.

Now, they've treated their collaboration to an official release. Imagine Dragons' ubiquitous single "Believer" has been expanded with some rapping from Weezy, who sounds right at home on the stomping, booming track.

__label__wiki	0.604953	0.604953	Tag: narcotics Border Patrol Agent Accused of Working with Drug Traffickers A Border Patrol agent in South Texas is accused of working with drug traffickers to stage narcotics seizures and sell the drugs for profit. Eduardo Bazan Jr. was arrested Friday and charged with making false statements about a federal investigation of drug traffickers, San Antonio Express-News reports. Bazan’s alleged crimes occurred in February 2007, but agents with Homeland Security Investigations in McCallen didn’t learn of it until October 2013. “The drug trafficking organization coordinated staged narcotic seizures of sham, or diluted, narcotics with the assistance of law enforcement officials, which enabled the organization to steal drug loads from unwitting narcotics sources of supply,” the complaint says. The Express-News wrote: Investigators say one such cocaine seizure took place near the McAllen Border Patrol station with Bazan’s assistance. Federal agents searched the agency database for the report Bazan filed in 2007 detailing the incident. When HSI agents recently interviewed Bazan, he recalled seizing the load, telling investigators that border agents had discovered bundles of cocaine in a Honda Civic, the criminal complaint says. At first, Bazan denied being tipped off to the location of the drug load and to having received payment for making the seizure. But when HSI agents interviewed Bazan two days later, he admitted to lying, the document states. Bazan told them he had received information that led to the seizure of about 150 pounds of cocaine and that in return he was paid around $8,000. At first, Bazan claimed to have chased suspects from the drug-laden vehicle, but he later admitted there were no suspects, confessing it was a ruse to make the seizure appear legitimate to other agents, according to the criminal complaint.

The DEA said the drugs, which look like legitimate painkillers, have infiltrated the U.S. drug market, the Guardian reports. The pills contain fentanyl, which is 50 to 100 times more powerful than morphine. The DEA warned that only a small amount can kill. “It’s a huge concern. People don’t know what they are getting,” said the DEA spokesman Melvin Patterson, citing an uptick in accidental overdoses by unwitting users.

The DEA plans to reclassify hydrocodone combination drugs like Vicodin, a move that will require people to receive a new prescription for painkillers every 90 days. Currently, painkiller users can get prescriptions for 18- days, with up to five refills. Patients also must present a prescription for the pills and can no longer rely on having the drugs phone-in by doctors. The change takes effect in 45 days. “Today’s action recognizes that these products are some of the most addictive and potentially dangerous prescription medications available,” said DEA Administrator Michele Leonhart.

The Huffington Post reports that DEA applicants are prohibited from working for the agency if they have used narcotics or dangerous drugs in the past. There’s one exception – marijuana. It’s a 7-year-old policy, according to Huffington Post.

The medical community, in my humble opinion, is not taking this drug seriously.” The FDA is debating the DEA’s request to reduce how long doctors can prescribe hydrocodone pills. The request also would bar physicians assistants and nurse practitioners from prescribing pain killers, Bloomberg reported.

Both men saw guilty verdicts returned on all charges against them, U.S. Attorney Kenneth Magidson announced. Castillo-Chavez, a 25-year-old from Tamaulipas, Mexico, was convicted of “conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute controlled substances, interstate travel in aid of racketeering (ITAR) and possession of a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime or a crime of violence,” according to the Justice Department. The guilty verdicts were returned unanimously after a four-day trial and six-hours of deliberation. A Feb. 17, 2010 indictment charged Castillo-Chavez and 33 other individuals with 47 counts of conspiracy to kidnap and murder U.S. citizens in a foreign country, drug conspiracy, kidnapping conspiracy, firearms conspiracy, money laundering conspiracy, use of juveniles to commit a violent crime, accessory after the fact and solicitation as well as substantive money laundering, drug trafficking and ITAR charges, according to the Justice Department. To date, 14 of those charged have been convicted. Several witnesses in the trial tied Castillo-Chavez to the Gulf Cartel and the Zetas, and implicated Castillo-Chavez, also known as “Cachetes,” in a double murder on April 2, 2006, as well as other attempted murders a violent attacks in Mexico.

__label__wiki	0.743449	0.743449	Check out our awesome video on YouTube Deering Reaper 1890 This was one of the first mechanical pieces of equipment used in the grain harvest. It cut the grain and deposited it in a row behind the driver to dry. Little Giant Mounted Thresher 1891 This piece of equipment is over 100 years old. Grain was bundled in the field and stacked near the barn until the threshing crew came to separate the grain from the straw. Straw was blown into the barn from the thresher, and grain was put into sacks. It was powered by 1-3 tied horsepower. Russell Steam Traction Engine 16-48 1915 According to the manufacturer, this was the “Boss” of steam traction engines. This one pumped water for pasture. Fond-Du-Lac 1917 This is a tractor attachment mounted on a 1916 Model T Truck. It was one of the many attempts to make Ford autos double as tractors during the WW1 era. The cost of the attachment was about $150. Leader 1/2 Track 1917 Dayton-Dick Co. was a leader in adapting automotive components to their tractors, especially the radiator and automotive front axle. This tractor has one crawler in front and two steerable wheels in back. Note – bottom wheel is the clutch and the top wheel is the steering wheel. It turns in a five foot radius. This tractor was powered by a 4-cylinder Le Roi engine. Aultman Taylor 30-60 1918 These were very popular tractors in road work and almost every township in Iowa, Illinois and Indiana owned one at some time. Many were sold for plowing and threshing. As with the 30-60, the band wheel turned counter clockwise, thus requiring a straight belt for threshing instead of the generally used crossed belt. Twin City 1918 This model was continued until 1929, when Minneapolis Co. merged with Moline Plow Co. and Minneapolis Threshing Machine Co. to form Minneapolis Moline Power Implement Co. It was the first company to use four valves in each cylinder for tractors. Some autos have now returned to this system. Gray Drum Drive 1918 The large drum on this tractor was used for traction to by pass Caterpillar patents. The wide drum on this tractor also prevented the soil from compacting.The entire engine in this tractor slid forward or backward to speed up or reverse the tractor’s direction. Belt Rail Single Track B 1918 This tractor was built to compete with wheel tractors. The belt track allowed it to run on softer ground than wheel tractors. This one was bought in Merced, CA and is the only one in existence that we know of. This company was organized in 1917 and went out of business in 1920. COD Wheel Tractor Model B 1919 The significance of the initials COD has been lost, but it was probably named for the three stockholders Conrad, Ogard & Daniel. Few of these tractors remain. Belt pulleys ran off the flywheel to operate the oil pump, fuel pump and water pump. Avery 6 Cylinder Model C 1919 The Avery 6-cylinder tractor was a big success in practically every kind of farm work. The Avery was advertised as a high grade tractor at an attractive price, which included such accessories as a platform, seat, tool box, draw bar and an air cleaner, equipment that other small tractor makers charged extra for. Exhaust gases were piped to the rear drive gears to clean and lubricate them. All Work II Model F 1919 Electric Wheel Co. was acquired by Firestone Tire and Rubber Co. This was a lightweight tractor with a big surplus of power for general farming and orchard work. This tractor was fueled by kerosene. Moline universal Model D 1920 This tractor was advertised as the one man tractor that solved the farm help problem of the day. A 1918 quote stated “Operation of the Moline universal is so easy that a woman or a boy can handle it.” Huber Cross Motor 1920 This model turns very easy due to the large wheels in the front. This tractor was a popular early model introduced in 1917 and built until 1928. Waterloo Boy Model N 1922 This tractor is the first model produced by Deere & Co. It was also the first model to be tested in the Nebraska Field tests in 1919. The Waterloo Engine Co. sold to the John Deere Tractor Co. in March of 1918. Deere made this model until 1924. Waterloo Separator 1925 This was used for separating grain from the chaff. Bundles were brought from the field and pitched in by hand. Grain was put into sacks. The resulting straw was used in barns, or sometimes as fuel. Imperial Super Drive 1924 This is an Illinois Tractor Co. tractor which was sold by the Robert Bell Engine and Thresher Co. in Canada under the trade name of “Imperial Super-Drive”. Hart -Parr 18-36 Model H 1929 This is one of the last models manufactured by Hart-Parr before the merger with Oliver Tractor Co. The Model H used a 3-speed transmission compared to the Model G which only used a 2-speed transmission. Oliver Hart-Parr Model 28-44 1930 Manufactured from 1930 to 1937, this tractor was one of the first models made under the Oliver name. Oliver involved farmers by having a color contest at State Fairs to vote on a new model’s official color combination. Meadow green with clover trim was the winner. Case 10-20 3 Wheel 1918 Looking at the design of this tractor, right hand turns on a hill would be very dangerous! Case Model 20-40 (with cab) 1918 Equipped with a two-cylinder engine, this tractor won many honors at an early-day Winnipeg plowing contest for fuel economy. Case 9-18 Kerosene Model B 1918 A one piece main frame was used in this tractor to increase strength and decrease weight. This tractor was known as the “Case Baby”.</> The motor in this tractor was mounted crosswise. Three to four 14″ plows were recommended for use with this tractor. The Case 18-32 tractor was extremely economical in its use of fuel. More of the power developed by the engine is delivered at the draw bar than in average tractors. Case 12-20 1922 This tractor was a replacement for the old 10-20 three-wheeler. Pressed steel wheels cut down on weight and lowered production costs. Case CO 1930 This tractor was a well accepted tractor in its time. This tractor was mainly used in an almond orchard until the mid-1940s. Cletrac F 1918 This model was driven by a floating roller chain that traveled between the drive gears and the tracks. The entire track assembly runs without lubrication. The manufacturer called the Cletrac H a “tank type” tractor after the WWI land battleship. It was later called a “crawler tractor”. The Cletrac was advertised in 1921 as being used in 65 countries around the world. Cletrac W 12-20 1920 “Geared to the ground” was the slogan for this little tractor manufactured from 1919 to 1948. A Widely motor was used in this model.Some new engineering refinements advertised on this tractor were redesigned track, an instantaneous oiling system where the entire track could be oiled by pushing a plunger, and simplified track layout. Cletrac 30 HP 1929 This model was the largest tractor of the Cletrac line in 1926 and was listed until 1930. Cletrac Diesel 80 HP 1944 This tractor was a good logging tractor due to the design of the transmission, which is pulling on both tracks at all times. For turning, one track would turn at a faster rate than the other. Most crawler tractors idled one track while the other kept moving for turning. Cummins Diesel (Old Smokey) 1944 This is a home made tractor built out of old surplus tractor parts at a time when new tractors were unavailable. This tractor was gifted to Fred Heidrick by the Phil Leiser family and created by Earl Mallory. Samson Sieve Grip Model S-25 1918 GM continued to manufacture this model after they bought the company in 1917. It’s unusual wheels made it possible to grip in loose soils, such as that around Woodland, CA. Samson Model M 1919 GMC tried to compete with Ford with this model for the small tractor market. In 1915 General Motors Co. purchased Samson Iron Works of Stockton, CA, making Samson a subsidiary of GMC. Arthur Mason was the designer for the new tractor division. Best “Humpback” 30 High Drive 1913 This is the only one known to exist. It was the forerunner of the orchard tractor, but if used in orchards it would not have had a top. It used a drive gear above the independent idler wheels. This lowered the tractor by about 12 inches. It was considered one of the most popular Best models. C. L. Best 75 1914 This model by C. L. Best Co. is one of Best’s largest tractors. The Best 75 was one of the first tracklayers to utilize a power steering device with cut steel gears enclosed and run in oil. The Best 75 also featured the famous “frictionless rocker joint”. C.L. Best D 40 HP 1916 This tractor featured elimination of front pilot wheel and improved friction drive for shorter turning. It had four individual cast cylinders. Best 25HP Model B 1918 This is the smallest Best tractor built. under average conditions, the Best 25 could plow 10 acres or harrow 35 acres in 10 hour day. Best 60HP 1919 Serial number 882, this is one of the earliest of this model. This model featured elimination of chains, belts and plain bearings. Anti-friction bearings were used throughout. Best 30 3 Speed 1924 The master clutch to the engine and drive-train was supplemented by separate track clutches – steering clutches – to increase maneuverability. Best 60 Diesel Conversion 1933 This tractor is a result of taking a 1933 Caterpillar 50 diesel engine and putting it on a 1923 Best 60 running gear, enabling the farmer to use low cost diesel fuel. Holt 45 Model B 1909 Most of Holt’s tractors had one front “tiller wheel”. Those with 2 front wheels were meant for midwest use. Only two of these tractors were completed. Holt 30 HP Front Wheel 1914 used primarily in orchards and vineyards. The canopy on this tractor would have been removed for this type of work. Holt 60 1914 The Holt 60 was first Holt to be designated as a “Caterpillar gas tractor”, which became the trademark for future Holt tractors. Holt Midget 18 1915 This is the smallest tractor Holt built. The small red arrow rising from the steering gear showed the operator which way the tiller wheel was heading. Holt 45 Muley Type 1916 This was one of the first larger Holts with no front wheel. The term “Muley” was a farmers term likening a tractor without front wheels to a cow without horns. Holt 120HP 1917 The Holt 120 was built for the the military in WWI to tow artillery. Only 800 were built. This particular tactor was half way to France when the war ended. It was unloaded onto the dock in France. Two years later a uS buyer bought it and shipped it back to Los Angeles. It was used until WWII then abandoned. It is the only one of its kind left in the world, that we know of. Holt Military 10 Ton 1917 These tractors were not sold to the general public until after the war. The high mortality rate for horses during WWI is one reason why these tractors were starting sent into battle. Holt 5 Ton “Caterpillar” 1918 In addition to general farming, this model was used to move artillery across shell torn battle fields as well as long stretches of stone roads in France. Holt Self-Propelled 16′ Wood Harvester 1918 This large self-propelled harvester was the best machine of its time for larger farms. It could harvest 35 to 45 acres a day with its sixteen foot cut. The Hillside model was capable of harvesting on hills up to a 40 degree angle. Holt T35 1921 Sometimes known as 2 Ton Holt. Advertised as supreme small tractor with 3 unit construction, motor, transmission and truck and track unit. This tractor was a larger companion to the T35. It was replaced by the new 5 Ton before the merger with Best in 1925. Only five of these tractors were made. They were manufactured from 2 Ton Caterpillar and Caterpillar 20 parts. The truck rollers have Hyatt Bearings on one side and bronze on the other. This tractor was never sold but was used by Caterpillar dealers to help them sell the new Model 20 Caterpillar tractors. Caterpillar 60 1927 This model boasts many refinements when compared to the Best Sixty of 1919. Particularly noticable are the operator comforts. This tractor is part of Caterpillar’s line of gasoline tractors consisting of the 10, 15, 20, 30 and 60 preceding the diesels. Caterpillar 10 Expo 1928 This was an experimental model of this tractor, painted white for display at State Fairs, etc. This tractor was first shown at the California State Fair when the new machinery hall was dedicated on September 1, 1928. Caterpillar 30 Wide 1928 The tractor was manufactured in San Leandro. CA where Caterpillars were 1925 to 1931. After that date, all Caterpillars were manufactured in Peoria, Illinois. Caterpillar 10 Grandpa Name Tag 1928 Fred Heidrick restored a Caterpillar 10 like this one for each of his eight grandsons and hung a name plate on each one. This one is for Grandpa. This is the smallest model made by Caterpillar, considered the small farmer’s tractor. Caterpillar 10 Orchard Model 1929 With this type of seat, the operator was seated lower than the standard seat, and could operate in areas with less head room as in orchards. The seat could be ordered on new tractors at no additional cost. This is the smallest model made by Caterpillar. It was manufactured from 1928 to 1931. It was considered the small farmers tractor. Spacing between track center on this model was 44 inches instead of the usual 37 inches. The design made it better suited for crop conditions, steep hills or soft ground. Caterpillar 10 High 1929 The regular 10 model could be raised with the addition of a high clearance kit for asparagus and row crop harvesting. Caterpillar 15 New, (was old 10 1931) This model replaced the Holt 2 Ton model after the merger of Holt and Best in 1925. This is the first Caterpillar diesel ever sold. Caterpillar became the first company to offer a diesel powered crawler tractor. This tractor was sold in Yolo County, CA. #1C1 was used as a demonstrator and sold after this tractor. #1C1 now belongs to university of California, Davis. Caterpillar 35 Yellow Gas 1931 At the time this model was manufactured, a diesel model 35 was also manufactured. The diesel was more costly to purchase, but more economical to run. The popular diesel engine lead to Caterpillar discontinuing the production this and other gas models. This model had the lowest price per pound of any crawler on the market. (Weight 23,007 lbs,; Price $4,350) Caterpillar 20 (old 15) 1932 This model replaced the Model 15 in 1932. After Holt and Best merged, the original color of these tractors was gray. In 1932, they were offered in gray or yellow. In 1933, the standard color became yellow. Caterpillar 25-Wide 1933 This model replaced the well known Twenty. It was manufactured from 1931 to 1933. Wide tracks designed for hills and swamp land served as the base for working in wet or soft soil. Caterpillar 28 Orchard 1934 Manufactured in 1934-35 only. The low seat indicates use for orchards. Caterpillar R-5 Dozer 1936 Very few of these tractors were made and sold because diesel was taking over the market. Diesel tractors were becoming more reliable and the price of diesel fuel was much less than gasoline. This tractor was used primarily for road work. This model was a “gap filler” between the old Caterpillar 30 and the D-4 diesel. It was used by the military and used the same fuel as other army vehicles. It used an in-line four cylinder engine producing a maximum of 37.8 horsepower at 1400 rpm. Caterpillar D-4 1939 Heidrick brothers purchased this tractor new. Caterpillar changed designations in 1935, using D for diesel and Number for size. This tractor has serial number 1 (only 43 were made). The D-5 was made for the uS Army and was not sold new to the public. Army use for the tractor required more horse power than the standard D-4 had. Caterpillar made these 43 tractors for use in a government rubber farm. They were fast and efficient. It has 6 cylinders rather than the 4 of the D-4. Harris 24′ Giant Harvester 1920 This harvester had a 24 foot cutter bar. Five people were necessary to operate it — 2 sack sewers, 1 header tender, 1 separator attendant, and 1 driver to operate the tractor which pulled the combine. John Deere Walking Plow 1910 This plow’s all steel design made it durable, long lasting and low maintenance for the farmer. John Deere Binder 1920 This is the smallest binder made by John Deere. It was able to be towed by a small tractor such as a Fordson, or light comparable tractor. John Deere D 1924 This was the first model to bear the John Deere name. It has an open spoke type flywheel. This model was produced for over 30 years. Farmers liked its simplicity and economy. John Deere Orchard and Field Tractor 1931 This tractor was built to work close to trees and under low-hanging branches without injury to the trees. John Deere 10′ Combine 1934 This tractor could be operated as a one man combine or with an operators platform. A Lycoming motor was used for the combine operation. This combine was usually pulled by medium weight tractors John Deere Lindeman 1952 A John Deere BO chassis for this model was sent to the Lindeman brothers in Yakima, Washington. They mounted these units on crawler tracks. Deere entered crawler production with a model after this one. Wallis Model 15-27 1923 Massey Harris purchased JI Case Plow Works in 1928. The most significant engineering feature was the u frame. A heavy steel plate enclosed and supported the engine, transmission and final drive. It sealed moving parts from dust and supported the mass without additional frame. Bean Spray Rig 1925 This spray rig sprayed 6 gallons per minute at 250 lbs of pressure. It was used primarily for sulfur and insecticides in orchards and vineyards to control insects. The bean sprayer’s porcelain lined cylinders would not corrode. It is powered by a two horsepower Witte engine. International Mogul 1910 This International model features a rare friction drive, instead of cog-wheel to reverse, but a conventional clutch for forward. This tractor was simply a one cylinder engine mounted on wheels, which only produced one horsepower at the draw bar. International Slant Hood Model 8-16 1921 This tractor was manufactured from 1916-1922, this was the first model to bear the International name. The radiator was placed at the back of the engine to improve visibility. International Titan Model 10-20 1921 This tractor had a closed cooling system. Hot water percolated from the engine into the high mounted water tank. McCormick Combine 1918 The Heidrick family was the original owner of this model. Altogether eighteen McCormick Combines were sold in Yolo County, CA by 1920. Other families that owned them were Blickle, Rooney, Andy Summ, Eckles, Ecstat, Hennigan, Smith, Dinsdale, Millsap and Ricci. Eight to ten horses pulled this machine. McCormick-Deering 15-30 1921 This model superseded the Titan 10-20. The manufacturer guaranteed the bearings for the life of the tractor. IHC’s first attempt at track type tractor using 10-20 wheel tractor engine and frame. This was manufactured from 1928-1931. It was replaced by their T-20 Model in 1931. McCormick-International TD-40 1933 This McCormick Deering Model TD-40 was one of the first diesel models built by International Harvester Co. This model was manufactured from 1933 to1939. Rumely Oil Pull Model F 15-30 1910 This model was designed to meet the needs of a smaller farmer and used for plowing, drilling, cultivating, harvesting, etc. It was said to “have the power of 15 good draft horses, the endurance of 50 and costs less than 10”. Rumely Oil Pull Model 20-35 1922 This was a smaller, more powerful light weight oil pull tractor. Rumely Oil Pull tractors are the only tractors which had a written guarantee to successfully burn kerosene at all loads. Rumely Model L 1924-27 Once owned by Helen Heidrick’s father, the Wild family of Woodland, CA bought this tractor for 90 sacks of barley and one load of hay. Rumely “Do-All” Convertible Tractor 1928 Advance- Rumely acquired rights and patents to the Toro convertible tractor-cultivator and this tractor appeared. Fordson Model F 1919 This is one of the first tractors Fred Heidrick restored. Henry Ford couldn’t use “Ford Tractor” because there was already a Ford Tractor Co. in 1916, so the Fordson trademark was adopted. Each Fordson came with a canvas cover, to protect the wooden steering wheel and the wood induction coils. Fordson Track Hadfield-Cahl Tracks 1923 “Cahl” advertised their tracks for the extra pull. They made a track type tractor of the Fordson. Fordson 10-20 1924 The fenders on this model were added extra in 1924. All Fordsons came with a canvas cover. Farmers would often be in a hurry to finish the day and would throw the cover over a hot tractor and set it on fire. Fordson-Towner Locomotor 1924 This Towner attachment pulled three to four ore cars in mines around Placerville. CA. This attachment sold for $750. H. F. Towner was better known for his tillage tool business. This was known as an Armstead Snow-motor. Hauling capacity was said to be five tons. Each drum receives power from a separate clutch which, depending on the position of the steering gear, engages and disengages. It can also traverse bare ground. This machine hauled mail from Truckee to North Lake Tahoe. Fordson Track FTA Rigid Tracks 1926 This is kit made a Fordson into a track tractor. This tractor was used in a mine east of Jackson, California. The tracks cost around $735 and weighed around 2,350 lbs. Massey-Harris General Purpose 15-22 1930 Four wheel drive was good for bog spots, hillsides and even river beds. This tractor was ahead of its time in design, lightweight and four wheel drive. Bates 1/2 Track Model D 1921 Advertised as being exceedingly flexible and durable this Bates could double disc and drag up to 35 acres a day. Bates Steel Mule 45 1930 The plate on the tractor states “This tractor is licensed under Caterpillar Tractor Co. of San Leandro Patents”. Continental Cultor 1926 This tractor has a Model T Ford engine which the buyer had to furnish. It was advertised as a practical, low priced motor cultivator. Homemade Swather 1935 This swather was made by Fred and Joe Heidrick from junkyard scrap consisting of 2 long channel irons, Model T Ford differential and a STAR 4 cylinder motor attached to a 10 foot Caterpillar harvester header. This swatcher was used to open fields and for going around the outside perimeter of a field so a larger harvester could complete the harvest. National 25 1930 This tractor had a very short production history due to patents pending by Caterpillar Tractor Co. It was advertised as having extremely high clearance which was important when the tractor was used for plowing deep or working rocky or rough ground. Allis Chalmers Monarch Neverslip 30-18 N 1918 This was the largest of the early Monarch tractors. This model, with modifications, was produced until 1924, when it was replaced by an entirely new crawler tractor line. It had the motor in the rear and transmission in the front. Allis Chalmers Wheel Model 20-35 1924 Pin striping, swivel seat and axle hub covers were extra cost options on this tractor. Allis Chalmers introduced its air washer with this model. An air intake pipe fed through a cast iron water bath. The lighter Model L succeeded this heavyweight in 1932, with more power and less weight. A heavy steel plate protected the radiator, which would have been important when used in logging. Allis Chalmers Model 50 1929 Allis Chalmers purchased the Monarch Tractor Co. plant and assets in 1928. At this time, Allis Chalmers crawlers were basically a Monarch design, but within a few years a new series of Allis Chlamers would emerge. Allis Chalmers Model L 1932 This model offered five forward speeds, ranging from one to six MPH. It replaced the heavier Allis Chalmers Monarch 75. The Model L was built to meet the demand for a powerful, heavy duty, easily handled machine. Allis Chalmers Model 35-K 1933 This tractor belonged to Helen Heidrick’s father, Lloyd James, and has been in the family for 60 years. The Heidrick brothers owned the same type of tractor at the same time. Allis Chalmers Model K Diesel 1935 This is the first Allis Chalmers model to use the Hesselman Diesel Motor. This motor did not produce very satisfactory performance results Allis Chalmers Model S 1936 This model became the “SO” model with the addition of the diesel engine. Eventually, it became the Allis Chalmers HD10. This tractor was used primarily for rice farming in Northern California. Allis Chalmers Model M Many Model M crawlers were used by the military during WWII for building roads, carving airstrips out of the jungle, or clearing the way for transport vehicles. Yuba Ball Tread 15-25 1920 The ball bearing track system made the Yuba unique. This tractor was manufactured in Marysville in Northern California. Farmers used to pay youngsters for finding ball bearings which had fallen out of the tracks as wear made them loose. They kept a can of larger ball bearings to take up the slack. This tractor was manufactured in Benicia in Northern California. This type of track eliminated track rollers.	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0107.json.gz/line469

__label__wiki	0.680559	0.680559	Listening 'Couples Retreat' ‘Couples Retreat’ is in a way the true entry of A.R.Rahman into Hollywood. He did some stage musicals, there were some Hollywood movies which used his Indian songs, he was a co-composer in ‘Elizabeth: The Golden Age’ and also it was a movie by an Indian Director, ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ was never meant to be such a huge success and even A.R.Rahman didn’t believe it was his ‘Ticket to Hollywood’ while working on that movie and moreover it was a movie set in India. But with ‘Couples Retreat’ is none of the above. The world knows who A.R.Rahman is and they expect him to go ‘Jai Ho’ again. Has he? ‘Sajna’ is a breezy romantic ballad done on a template ripped straight out of ‘Dreams on Fire’ (a gem which is yet to get its due) with simple lyrics and a catchy Hindi hook phrase ‘Sajna Re’. Except for that hook, the melody of song sounds simple and too much worked upon as they have tried hard to fit in lyrics for Rahman’s tune. It gets better with vocal harmony countering the main melody and is truly elevated at the end with a soulful string section smoothing the rough edges of the melody. But overall, this song is a very underwhelming start to the soundtrack. But wait, a full instrumental version of the song comes up in ‘Tour to the Villas’. The melody of the phrase ‘Sajna Re’ is almost the main theme of the movie. The sweeping grandeur of this theme as played on full throttled string section begins the track ‘Tour to the Villas’. I can imagine ‘Tour to the Villa’ being played when the couples enter the ‘Eden Resort’ in an Island and take a tour around the resort checking out what is in store for them. The music just follows them as they move through various sections. The track shifts from the main melody to another beautiful melody played on ‘Erhu’ (a Chinese Spa in the resort or a mediation or Yoga centre??), and to more ambient, soundscape music filled with ethnic percussions and exotic instruments that effectively puts the listeners right in the middle of the mood and space that it wants to create. There is another main theme in the movie which first appears in the track ‘Jason and Cynitia Suite’. It is a simple, soothing melody oozing romanticism. The melody is introduced in the very beginning on a guitar solo, and then it turns into a guitar concerto with strings joining in and replying to the guitar phrase by phrase. The melody slowly ascends up and turns into a full throttled orchestral piece proving that A.R.Rahman is easily capable of doing a very conventional Hollywood movie score. It moves up, up and up until there is nowhere to go, takes a breath, and turns to the ‘Sajna Re’ theme. A serene Santoor tickles and a pleasing atmospheric melody on velvety flute join the ‘Sajna Re’ melody on soft strings gently dancing in the air. Aah! BLISS. The ‘Sajna Re’ theme again appears exquisitely in the track ‘The Waterfalls’, which one can easily imagine is for when the couple is watching a beautiful waterfalls and gets into a romantic mood. And for the romance Rahman brings in the ‘Jason and Cynitia Theme’ for a brief moment towards the end. Having played the theme enough with the orchestra, it is time for ‘Jason and Cynitia Theme’ to travel on solo instruments. To further reveal its yet uncorked beauty, the theme is played on quietening Piano, mellifluous Oboe (sounds divine in this avatar), aching cello and all carried as a one whole by a soft bed of supporting strings in ‘Jason and Cynitia Piano Theme’. ‘Kuru Kuru Kan’ with its zing-swing rhythm is instantly addictive, the shakers keeps our head shaking with the melody and Rahman gently whispers the melody laced over cute and simple Tamizh lyrics. The language isn’t a problem here, as the melody and the ambient orchestration beautifully sprinkles the romance in the air. That whistle melody is the coolest thing I have heard in a while. And when you expect the song to slowly fade over, the mood is further enhanced as Rahman introduces a twist to the song with a layer of soulful strings soaring over the melody. Clearly ‘Shark’ theme is going to play out when Vince Vaughn is thrown into the sea surrounded by Sharks. It is a very dramatic piece predominantly on strings playing a very Indian melody. A short phrase repeating on strings forming a chaotic harmony for the Sharks approaching, biting and reaching and Vince’s attempt to escape. It comes to a grand halt as it finally bites Vince Vaughn and Rahman’s cry follows sympathising what this guy has just gone through. From those visuals in the trailer, it is easy to imagine how fitting this music would be for that situation. As you can see in the trailer of the movie, ‘Marcel’ is an Asian, and in one of the shots in the trailer the second item in the Itinerary is titled ‘Dr.Marcel’s Activity’, and I guess ‘Meeting Marcel’ track plays out in the scenes related to that. That explains why the music sounds totally Asian. Filled with deep windy flutes, Indian chants and drums, dramatic strings it is hard to predict what happens on screen, but as a standalone track it is a soothing transcending meditational music. On the same lines, ‘Intervention’ is a serious and a deeply spiritual music with beautifully written harmony of strings. ‘Animal Spirits’ is an eclectic piece and a glittering gem of a track. Strangely, it starts with the same melody and Rahman’s vocals that begins the track ‘Intervention’. The track keeps changing its colour, flavour, genre but all bound together for one purpose – Creating a heavenly aural ambience. Heavenly, is how I felt when the track stops its rhythm and beats and a sitar begins to a relaxing start with ‘Sajna Re’ slowly fading in on soft strings. Another twist ends the track with the most euphoric version of the ‘Sajna Re’ theme. Now, wait, wasn’t this soundtrack meant for a ‘Romantic Comedy’, but so far we heard mostly serious and romantic music, where is the comedy? It is obvious that a comedy need not have a comic music always. I guess here the comedy comedy is out of the people who are put in serious situations. For the victims of comedy, it is a serious moment. So, the music should be as serious as the people who are put in the situation so that the people outside can feel them genuinely funny. Rahman uses staccatos and pizzicatos to its maximum in the track ‘Itinerary’. It is for the scene in which the couples get a list of tasks that they have to complete in this package. The whole track is highly dependent on the visual proceedings but for sure a very interestingly orchestrated piece with varied instruments. Having seen the visuals, ‘Undress’ could be the funniest track of the soundtrack - think of English men reluctantly undressing accompanied by Indian strings (a lingering Tanpura throughout) and percussions (Ghatam in this case). The music slowly builds up as each man undress one after the other and comes to a grinding halt with a blow when it comes to undressing the black man who says he is not wearing the inners. In ‘Salvadore’, Spanish flamenco meets Indian Taraana and the very thought of such a combination is intriguing and Rahman pulls of it brilliantly with ample support from the talented Kailash Kher. I can’t really imagine where this music would fit it but it could be for that guy (whose name could be Salvadore) who comes to teach ‘Yoga’ to the couples in a hilarious scene. ‘NaNa’ is a true-to-genre hippy-peppy beach party dance song in the soundtrack. The non-stop rapping, the swing in the rhythm, the ever intruding trumpets all nicely put together to make an effective stress buster of a song. ‘Luau’ sprinkled with Spanish guitars is an impressive instrumental track with nice percussion arrangements (composed by John O’Brien). ‘Couples Retreat’ as a whole has something for everyone who comes to hear specific stuff from A.R.Rahman, but no ‘Jai Ho’ here and that is not a complaint. This soundtrack may not be spoken about like how every movie review spoke about ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ score, and it may not win any awards, but that is not the point. The music should fit the movie and some of it should get a life of its own outside and I am sure ‘Couples Retreat’ has got both. Audio Clips from http://www.couplesretreatsoundtrack.com Labels: A.R.Rahman, Couples Retreat, Couples Retreat Music Review, Couples Retreat OST Review, Couples Retreat Soundtrack Review, Their Scores RoyalC said... Its and ordinary soundtrack overall,for i should say from what it looks a very ordinary comedy.ARR tries to louden it up with too much variety and not so good audio mixing and orchestration.I'm wondering what's happened to this Edgy composer who comes up with surprises and beautiful sounds and themes for he goes making loud, dumb and masala music..?? Pianoman said... It's a beautiful soundtrack lush wish global sounds and bright and clear arrangements. How Rahman has infused Indian sounds and styles is really beautiful, creating haunting interludes and touching melodies. The audio mixing and orchestration are absolutely first class and I'm totally celebrating a Rahman album that's artistic and acoustic. The music here is delicate, varied, intelligent and highly crafty, but also very fun in parts due to the comedy nature of the movie. I am just in awe of this great composer who continues to showcase his versatility as no composer has ever done before. u forgot to mention the voice of afro in kuru kuru - its so similar to Rahman :) Pradeep and Pianoman - I can't stop wondering how same music could evoke such extremely opposite reaction Mr.weirdo - I don't know who that is, to me it sounded like Rahman's voice Suresh, Surely you don't think that the music of CR is dumb, loud, massala music with bad orchestration and mixing and overall ordinary? Come on! How could anyone think that! Pianoman - I don't and that should be crystal clear from my write-up. To be frank, it is utter sutpidity to think like that, esp about the suond, the songs available now is 192kbps quality, we are yet to listen the tracks in CD quality.. Great review, although i felt that certain orchestral pieces had a typical hollywood touch and less of rahman's unique stamp. I have seen some clips and they seem to match them effectively. I guess the only improvement is to create a more unique style in his orchestral scores. Very similar to WOHE soundtrack. John O Brien is the music supervisor for this film. Does it mean he tells Rahman at which part to compose and stuff? Anon - Thank you. I guess that hollywood touch was necessary to prove that Rahman can do even a conventional hollywood score. But for a pure Hollywood Soundtrack, Rahman has mixed as much indian sounds as possible Did you mean the clips from this site http://www.collider.com/2009/09/25/7-movie-clips-from-couples-retreat-starring-vince-vaughn-jason-bateman-jon-favreau-kristin-davis-malin-akerman-and-kristen-bell/ I also saw them, the music works well with those scenes and some of my guesses i made in my write-up were correct.. I don't really know what is the job of a music supervisor in the film, so can't comment on the role of John O'Brien in this score.. Not about the indian sounds, i meant the unique stamp he has. Like even if you put a totally western score you can identify its whose. But someone can say this is a john williams or jerry goldsmith score. Otherwise a very addictive soundtrack and they do match the clips effectively. Yup those are the clips. From web definitions, they are like the main men who coordinate the work of the composer, editor and sound mixer. Anonymous - But come on, Rahman has done very few hollywood scores to establish any stamp of his own there. Even a WOHE score, people could easily mistake as something done by Tan Dun or some chinese composer. Hmmz, maybe i overexpected from Rahman, because give his talent i thought he would have a different orchestration style regarding a classical score from the others in the fray. Otherwise no complaints. :D Ah finally, i can post in my own avatar. To add on to the review, did you notice his shark track? Most composers tend to go JW style(Jaws) when they get those situations but he sort of redefined the score in his own way. Like the initial part of the track when it really reworks the suspense magically. :D Anonymous (or chandrasehar??) - We must understand that when a composer works in Hollywood movies, he has more constraints than he has in Indian films. Here, hardly film directors know about Movie's background score, so composer can do anything that he wants to do. But there each and every piece has to convince so many people involved in the movie (Shekhar Kapur in his blog told, lots of great music pieces by Rahman were outright rejected by the producers of the movie 'Elizabeth: The Golden age'. Ofcourse there is so much that Rahman can do with classical scores, he did long back in 'Bombay Theme', the bells, the pure Indian flutes and violins over totally western classical orchestration, or take the instrumental of 'Khwaja mere khwaja', or the bass that was recorded louder than the whole orchestra in 'Jaage hain' from Guru.. It is not that he can't do it, but the movie's script should demand it and the people involved in the project should also be convinced by such experiments.. Chandrasehar - Yeah. I did notice that. I guess that was done wantedly to sound totally different from 'Jaws' Theme but here the context is also somewhat different. In 'Jaws' it is really serious, you know that it could swallow the person, here you know that it is for fun.. I was "anonymous" earlier. Wow that explains the part about his style not being there. Looks like there is a more detailed hierarchy compared to here in hollywood. :O Would be great to see what he can do if the restrictions are lesser. Hopefully a more creatively demanding movie is coming his way to really exploit his talent :D Ravi Krishna said... There are indeed a lot of restrictions/specific instructions for composers working on Hollywood film scores. Rejected scores are also not that uncommon, a famous one being where Gabriel Yared's wonderful score to the 2004 film "Troy" which was rejected just because of some stupid comments by a test screening audience. James Horner's replacement score was good but anyone who has listened to Yared's promo can tell you what an amazing piece of work it was. I heard even John Williams had an early score of his rejected, though I've forgotten the name now. In the light of that I think Rahman did a very good job on here. This certainly isn't another average rom-com score and was a delight to listen to. Demonstar - Very True. I read even the Howard Shore's score for 'Lord of the Rings' trilogy had to go through a lot of scrutiny. Some of the music cues were removed and replaced by sound effects because director felt the music was not right. And all of this after Howard Shore won Oscar for 'Fellowship of the Rings'.. So it is not how big you are, or how many awards you have won, when it comes to work, it is what the director and the producer want matters the most. Fan said... Suresh, you are not convincing about the part on the how the music, being so serious/romantic, would fit a comedy movie. I personally don't feel how some of the tracks would fit the scene, jaws, for eg. It would probably be a half-decent score for a serious scene but for a supposedly comedy scene? I doubt it. And, again, your write-up about how the score need not be comical doesn't convince me enough. Of course, unless we watch the movie we shouldn't comment. Personally, being a Rahman fan, I feel that Rahman should have waited for a better opportunity to launch his career in Hollywood. A romantic comedy doesn't fit the bill for him. Otherwise, the tracks are nice to hear. I read some of the posts above and a gentleman has written that the music is 'loud' and 'dumb'. Of course, it is his opinion but I don't agree with the loud part. Dumb could well be true if it doesn't fit the scene but unless you watch the movie, I don't know how you could pass that comment. I loved "Animal Instincts" on the first listen itself. I was also puzzled at first at how it starts with the same melody as "Intervention" (which was good) but then totally changes. Shows the genius that Rahman is. Finally, "kuru kuru". Thanks to Rahman for convincing the team to let a tamil song feature in the movie. His "swasame" featured in "Accidental Husband" but this is the first time a tamil song is written for a hollywood movie. Bravo Rahman! Fan - As you said, we can't comment until the music is heard with the visuals.. Rahman Fan said... It is interesting to read all your comments, but personally I feel Rahman did very good job. This score once again proves how versatile he is. I just hope this doesn't go unnoticed in Hollywood because of type of movie and its content... In one of the interview Rahman commented that he had an opportunity to work with John William's orchestra. Could it have been for Couples Retreat? Rahman Fan - There is no doubt Rahman did a very good job. But still some of them are skeptical about this kind of music fitting in a comedy and that to a hollywood comey. And yes, it is for 'Couples Retreat' the Hollywood Symphony Orcestra was used.. here are the pics http://www.scoringsessions.com/sessions/image/27101/dsc_0502.jpg&admin=admin Well, I am not too worried about it. Rahman has composed for more than 200 movies/ad jingles spanning different genres and languages. I think the guy knows what he is doing. Besides for Couples Retreat there is a larger team to work with - Music Supervisor and Director to point out if it didn't fit... Kaushik said... >> ‘Kuru Kuru Kan’ with its zing-swing guitar rhythm is... Nice review. The main backing on Kuru Kuru KaN... is an electric piano, not a guitar, though. suresh, do you have background scores of unnal mudiyum thambi? Divya or RK - Sorry. I don't have it. Hi Guys, John O'Brien here. A nice rounded conversation about the score. AR was left to his own creativity on this film. There were a few spotting sessions with myself, the director Peter Billingsley, the editor Dan Lebenthal and the Music Editor Jim Weidman. I would say the most input came from Jim Weidman and Peter Billingsley. We scored in Los Angeles at the Sony soundstage. AR did most of the composing in Mumbai and a little in Hollywood. AR was a dream to work with and yes his "Shark" cue was very inventive, knowing he could have gone a "safe" route. My main job description as music supervisor is to find "needle drops' or original songs to place into the film at key scenes such as the Eden East nightclub. I have scored and done music supervision on other films. I composed six original cues for this film. Peter asked me to do the Lua cue and it was very generous of AR to have it included on the soundtrack. Keep up the conversation, I'm enjoying it very much. John - Thanks for commenting here. It will clarify the doubts of many. And I Love 'Lua' song very much. Nice to hear from you, John! :-) Your work on the Lua track is very good indeed. Congrats on this very good score, this is one of the highlights of the year for me. Keep up the good work! Luau at 1:55 is great! Thanks a lot John. I cant stop humming that line. And btw, I've also been reading the posts, nice job. A R Rahman is indeed a great composer and he has proved it once again. Stephen Marshall The song that is playing when the couples retreat movie website is opened, is it one among the other 5 John O'brien had composed for this movie? I guess so... !! And I just love it. Especially the starting beat. Your spelling of Cynthia as "Cynitia" is way off, but I think this mistakes is probably not your fault and correctly repeated from the official website which had some terrible spelling on it. I'd just like to know the name of the song that Lucy & the yoga guy dance to at Eden East The song that Lucy and the yoga guy dance to is called "Clabria" by Enur I'd also like to know what the song is called at eadon east right before sean kingston's - me love. right about 103:00min. it plays in the background. Thanks Anon - I haven't seen the film yet. Ash M said... Heard ARR is geeting an oscar nomination for Na Na http://beta.thehindu.com/arts/music/article82532.ece?homepage=true Although "Tour to the Villas" is a remix from Guru's theme song "Jaage hain", but still a decent score.

For more information, or to contribute your memories of Wenlock Edge, contact Peter Carty at The National Trust on 01694 723068. email: peter.carty@nationaltrust.org.uk > The 15-mile-long limestone escarpment that makes up Wenlock Edge has a long history of quarrying and industry. Despite this, it is also renowned for its breathtaking views and stunning scenery, which have inspired countless artists, poets and composers. In 2007 it was listed as one of the seven wonders of the West Midlands. Limestone coninues to be removed from the heart of the Edge, at Lea Quarry. Our demand for limestone and its by-products has only intensified over the years. Believe it or not we all come into contact with limestone every day. It's in the toothpaste we brush our teeth with... our houses are held together by it... and we drive our cars over it. Both the beauty and industry on Wenlock Edge is a result of its geological history, as Shropshire Wildlife Turst's Geology Officer Liz Etheridge explained. Geology on the Edge Wenlock Edge is not only one of the best known geological sites in Shropshire, but also one of the most famous in the world. Wenlock's claim to fame is firmly established in international geology. One of the sections of the Silurian Period is even called the Wenlock era (there's also a Ludlow era). Therefore you'll find geologists all over the world referring to some of their rocks as "Wenlockian"! This area is made up mainly of limestone - a rock originally formed from crushed shells, salt water and ancient, tiny sea creatures. These formations were established when this area was about 25/30 degrees south of the equator under a shallow, subtropical sea. At this time (around 425 million years ago) Shropshire was about level with the Seychelles. Even bearing this tropical environment in mind, it's still amazing to see the clear remains of Wenlock Edge's reef and you can still pick up pieces of coral as you walk along the Edge. Fossilised crinoids This area is packed with fossils. Our trip with Liz Etheridge, turned up fossilised crinoids (sea lillies), trilobites and seemingly hundreds of brachiopods... all within a matter of minutes! Crinoid fossils are essentially cylindrical. If you see them end-on, they look like tiny tubes. Originally these would have been tubular animals (not plants) with stems that rose up in the warm sea to feed on passing plankton. Meanwhile the far rarer trilobite fossils resemble ancient woodlice. These fossils can still display the clearly defined segments of the once hard trilobite shells. On Wenlock Edge, it's practically impossible not to find brachiopods. Almost every rock you pick up seems to contain these shellfish which look exactly like shells you might pick up on the beach today. Coral found at Wenlock Edge We also found a piece of tube coral, looking as if it had only recently broken off a reef. However, it was quite dirty and we cleaned it up back at the office. After a bit of a scrub and a vinegar bath, it was far easier to see the white coral base. Limestone reacts quickly with the acid in vinegar to loosen surrounding material. This is why acid rain has such a profound effect on limestone. Although acid rain is far more diluted than vinegar, when you multiply its effect over time, you can start to understand the damage it's doing. Acid rain is created as carbon dioxide is dissolved in the water in our atmosphere. It is also produced by a number of human processes, particularly through industry. Room for a view As you stand on Wenlock Edge, one of the most distinctive views is that towards Lea Quarry in the near distance. The bright, lagoon blue water of the settling pool (See main image, top) is caused as the partially-dissolved minerals turn the water slightly opaque, reflecting the light. Chain coral found on Wenlock Edge When Lea Quarry has finished its working life, it will revert back to nature. Given enough of a chance, this will become a haven for all sorts of wildlife and wildflowers. Orchids in particular love this type of soil. Evidence of Wenlock Edge's quarrying past is seen a little further along our walk. The restored limekilns and Knowles Quarry not only hint at an industrial past in this beautiful location, but also show how nature can reclaim a site after the machines have left. Once upon a time, lime was burned here so it could then be spread on fields to improve the quality of the soil for farming. Wenlock Edge's underlying geology stretches around 30 miles from Ironbridge to Craven Arms. The escarpment itself is around 15 miles long, from Much Wenlock to Craven Arms. Seven miles of the Edge are owned and managed by the National Trust. Wenlock Edge also falls within the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and views from the top are suitably superb. Within 100 metres of Presthope car park you'll find views of Ape Dale, Caer Caradoc and the Long Mynd. A range of walks (including an all-ability trail) are clearly marked out. For a good idea of what a limestone quarry looks like after quarrying has finished (and nature's given a chance to take over), see our visit to Llanymynech Rocks. last updated: 23/10/2008 at 16:17 Your name: Your comment: The BBC reserves the right to edit comments submitted.

Off to Wenlock this weekend I think!!I will be taking my own fossil along with me.!!(hes driving)lol laura whitten if coming by bus into Much Wenlock, where do we start with this walk please? Does this walk connect with the Wenlock Edge pub where we could have lunch? This article is extremely interesting and we would love to 'walk the edge' Thank you Hi Laura. Public transport is a bit of a problem in that area - we start our description of the walk at Presthope which is about four miles from Much Wenlock on the Stretton Road (B4371) but no buses run that way. We wouldn't recommend walking on that road, but there are paths signposted from nearer to Wenlock. Here is a link to a map centred on Presthope. The Wenlock Edge Inn is about a mile furter along towards Church Stretton. benjaste where is it??? John Monk Fasinating Stuff. I found this article extremely informative. I have never been to Wenlock Edge and I had no idea of it's history, or of the nature of limestone. Wow a subtropical sea around here. Thankyou.

__label__cc	0.536829	0.463171	Blessed Meltdown as Evictions and Gaggings Continue The ethnic cleansing of the Blessed Authority has moved up a notch with the dismissal of Wilky O’Brian from the navigation committee and full Authority. Despite having more experience of navigation and engineering than the rest of the Authority combined, an “independent panel” decided that this was outweighed by his apparent inability to vote in the prescribed manner. “Wilky supported an alternative candidate to me for the Chair” said Temper Turtle, “and didn’t vote for Jimmy Day to be evicted either. So that was that.” Unsure how to deal with the recalcitrant O’Brian for his final meetings, the Chairs Group decided to stop him from speaking on any subject where he was known to have an opinion. “That will fix him” said Dr Pikeman. “He’s got an opinion on everything!” And so, in a spectacular misrepresentation of the law of predetermination, Wilky was gagged during an already controversial debate on the display of vessel registration numbers, unable to intervene as the debate descended into disarray and confusion. For years, some boats have been excused from putting numbers on their transom, as long as they have them on the bow or bowsprit alongside the tolls plaque. But with the plaqueless tolls system judged a success, blessed officers say that it’s now too difficult for rangers to identify yachts that don’t have numbers on the back. “In the old days, rangers would just walk up to the front and look at the plaque” they explained. “But without the plaque, they have to, err, walk up to the front and look at the numbers instead.” The Blessed Spokesperson went on to claim that rangers couldn’t identify a speeding sailing boat from behind. “The speed of our ranger boats is no match for a heritage yacht. It would disappear into the distance and we’d have no way of identifying it other than the name on the transom, the gigantic number on the sail, and the fact that the rangers know all the boats anyway” she said. In their report, officers gave members the choice of recommending enforcement, or a warning letter followed by enforcement. A suggestion that the Authority should revert to the previous arrangement, instead of enraging stakeholders further for no reason, was dismissed on the basis that officers didn’t want to. “In any event” said the officer, “members agreed to ditch this arrangement in November 2017. Though funnily enough that’s not in the minutes.” “Of course, minutes are not a verbatim record, though you can ask for the recording if you want” the officer went on. “But we take 21 working days to provide recordings - and as the monitoring officer only works one day a week - that’s 21 weeks, ha ha.” New members of the navigation committee - invited to observe before their assimilation meeting - were left wondering what on earth they’d got themselves embroiled in.

Support came from Marc E. Bassy, Nef the Pharaoh and Marty Grimes. Pictures are in this post. The tour hits NYC on Saturday (1/23), Sunday (1/24) and Monday (1/25) at Terminal 5. The first two are sold out but tickets for the third are still available. It’s in Philly tomorrow and tonight is an off night, which quite possibly means Ferg will join A$AP Rocky and the rest of A$AP Mob to celebrate the life of the late A$AP Yams at Yams Day at Terminal 5 tonight (1/18). Ferg also tweeted, “Today is Yams day through out the world! Even if you can’t celebrate with us turn up for him where ever your at!!” The rest of tonight’s lineup includes Joey Bada$$, Flatbush Zombies, A$ton Matthews and Lil Uzi Vert. Rocky and Ferg also celebrated Yams over the weekend when they released the tribute song “Yamborghini High.” Ferg’s new album Always Strive and Prosper is due this year, and it presumably features his recent single “New Level” featuring Future, which you can stream below. Speaking of Nef the Pharaoh, he’s planning a mixtape with producer Cardo called Neffy Got Wings, and recently released its lead single “#Saydaat” featuring Philthy Rich. Listen to that below too. He also plays another NYC show before the run with A$AP Ferg, at Just Blaze‘s weekly House Party at Webster Hall on Thursday (1/21). Tickets are available.

Photo: Douglas Levere By SUE WUETCHER The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has awarded Say Yes Buffalo and its partner institutions — including UB — a 22-month, $2.9 million grant to increase college completion rates for Buffalo Public Schools graduates. UB will be involved in the “knowledge-management” aspect of the grant, which will be led by Nathan Daun-Barnett, associate professor and chair of the Department of Educational Leadership and Policy in the Graduate School of Education. Daun-Barnett says UB’s work will include: Assisting in evaluation of the grant. “Are we achieving the outcomes” as specified in the grant, he explains. This also will include participation in a learning community, which he calls “an opportunity to learn from one another as we develop community-based strategies.” Five communities were funded for this work: Buffalo, Chattanooga, Dallas, Rio Grande Valley, and Tacoma. The educational consulting firm Education First will lead the learning community. Expansion of UB’s FAFSA Completion Project, in which GSE students work with students in the Buffalo Public Schools to complete the students’ FAFSA applications for federal financial aid for college. The plan, Daun-Barnett says, is to increase the number of Say Yes scholars — Buffalo Public Schools students who are attending college via a Say Yes scholarship — who will mentor city students and their families in completing the FAFSA. With 38 of last year’s 46 Say Yes scholars coming from UB, the aim is to expand the number of scholars taking part in the project from the other local universities hosting scholars, as well as from UB. Developing the Buffalo College Success Network, a new initiative supported by the grant to help Buffalo students successfully transition from high school to college, and ultimately earn a postsecondary degree or certificate. The network includes Say Yes, the Buffalo Public Schools and the five local higher education institutions that admit the largest number of Say Yes scholars: UB, SUNY Buffalo State, SUNY Erie, Medaille College and Villa Maria College. Daun-Barnett says the Michigan College Access Network will serve as a model for the Buffalo network. Creating a P-12 data warehouse for the Buffalo Public Schools with a long-term goal of launching a P-16 data system, allowing for sharing of information between the public school district and the institutions of higher education regarding what students need to achieve success. The Gates foundation grant also will fund several other initiatives in the Buffalo Public Schools: Embedding “near-peer mentors” — recent high school graduates who are now in college — in high schools to offer students advice on what to expect and how to prepare for college. UB will increase its presence in the schools to help with the college choice and financial aid processes by through expansion of the FAFSA Completion Project. Creating a mandatory college-transition curriculum for all students graduating high school. Creating 11 new “college success” counselors on the campuses of Buffalo State, Medaille, ECC and Villa Maria. Establishing on-campus mental health clinics staffed by licensed clinicians to help students deal with some of the emotional and social challenges that could hamper their ability to succeed in college. Say Yes Buffalo, launched in 2012, is a community collaboration dedicated to strengthening the city’s public school system and increasing high school and postsecondary graduation rates. Among its initiatives is a college scholarship program for Buffalo Public Schools students. UB has been involved in numerous Say Yes activities over the years, among them the FAFSA Completion Program, College Success Centers at several city high schools and Say Yes’ community schools programming, including the Saturday Academies.

__label__cc	0.590993	0.409007	Greg Abbott Vetoes Bipartisan Mental Health Bill At Behest of Extortionist Cult By Katherine Haenschen on July 16, 2015 Health Care, Home Page, Legislature Of all the religious extremists that Greg Abbott has pandered to this past session, perhaps the most surprising was his kowtowing to the Scientologists. The Los Angeles-based cult and alleged celebrity money-extraction organization has a problem with mental health, and pressured Abbott to veto an important bipartisan measure that would have protected patients who posed a threat to themselves or others. The last time we checked Abbott wasn’t trying to go clear or worshipping Xenu, so the story caught folks quite by surprise. The Texas Tribune got the scoop. So how did this happen? 1) Sen. Royce West (D) and house co-sponsor Rep. Paul Workman (R) filed legislation that provides doctors with an additional four hours to hold mentally ill patients who pose a danger to themselves or others, rather than release them. It would only apply to patients who voluntarily seek health services. It had broad, bipartisan support from healthcare and psychiatric organizations, and passed both chambers by wide margins. 2) The Scientologists caught wind of it, and under the name of the group “Citizens Commissions on Human Rights,” an anti-psychiatry group, started to organize against it. Scientology opposes modern mental health care practices, recommending instead that people grab metal cans and spill their secrets to people who will blackmail them. 3) They managed to convince other organizations to join in, including anti-public school activists (Texas Home School Coalition), anti-vaccination activists (Parents Requesting Open Vaccine Education), and — of course — anti-flouride activists (Texans for Accountable Government). 4) Abbott issued the veto. Shortly thereafter, the lobbyist for the Scientology-backed group sent Abbott’s wife a note thanking her. “”I have not forgotten about your last message,” he wrote. “Please consider yourself invited to our office, and any event we hold, any time.” Is the Scientology lobbyist creepin’ on Abbott’s wife?? What was in her message?! 5) Like many of Abbott’s vetoes, this one came as a surprise. The president of the Texas Medical Association, Tom Garcia, told the Tribune that group was “extremely disappointed” and that the bill “would have saved lives.” Now, we are left with many questions. Is Greg Abbott secretly a Scientologist? (Probably not. I’ve always found him more of a Suppressive Person myself.) But seriously — how is it that a confab primarily composed of fringe organizations that actively oppose scientific knowledge can persuade the Governor of Texas to veto a very narrow mental health bill that has the backing of the major medical and psychiatric organizations in the state? Scientologists, anti-vaxxers, and flouride fear-mongerers should not be setting mental health policy in Texas. This veto is an embarrassment for Greg Abbott, and a warning to health care professionals: this guy is not to be trusted.

The bill suggests up to a six-year prison term for anyone causing damage to the body or health of a child by “removing sexual organs in whole or in part”. “Protecting the health of children is a legitimate goal of every society, but in this case this concern is instrumentalised, without any scientific basis, to stigmatise certain religious communities. This is extremely worrying”, states Card. Marx after having expressed his solidarity to representatives of Jewish and Muslim communities. “COMECE considers any attempt on the fundamental right to freedom of religion as unacceptable. The criminalisation of circumcision is a very grave measure that raises deep concern” - continues COMECE President.

One of Asmodee Game's best games, 7 Wonders boasts a quick play time, unique mechanics and scales fantastically well. It's no wonder this card game has won so many gaming awards. There are not many board games that can scale from 2 players to 7 players without lost in quality or a drastic increase in play time. 7 Wonders is one of those rare exceptions. It combines unique game play mechanics with easy to learn rules and a quick play time. You can play a full game of 7 Wonders with 7 people in under 45 minutes, which can sometimes be a rarity in board gaming. The game’s easy to learn rules also make it accessible to gamers and non-gamers alike. More than once I’ve played 7 Wonders with family or friends who aren’t big into gaming. So what is it about 7 Wonders that makes it worth your time at the gaming table? Read on to find out! 7 Wonders is a card game for 2-7 players that plays in about 45 minutes. 7 Wonders will play great with any amount of the 3-7 player range. 7 Wonders is a card game which you are tasked with building up your civilization through a series of 3 ages (rounds). Your civilization is built by playing cards every round to your play area. The cards range from production buildings (allowing you to have the supplies to play later cards) to Victory Point buildings to special action buildings. 7 Wonders comes with a variety of cards that help keep the replay value strong. What makes 7 Wonders unique is how the hand management works. Every round, each player plays one card simultaneously and then they pass the rest of their hand to the player on their right or left (depending on the age). That’s right, you have to pick one available card in your hand to use and then pass the rest along. So in a 7 player game, you may only ever get to choose 1 card from a particular hand. It’s a really neat mechanic that forces you to balance what card you want to play with what cards you don’t want to give your opponent access to. As the rounds progress, players will work to acquire victory points, the ultimate goal of the game. At the end of the 3rd age, the player with the most victory points is the winner. As with most card games, there is not a lot to the components. The main thing in the 7 Wonders box are the piles of well illustrated cards. Each has a name, cost, picture and effect symbol. The cards are both functional and well designed. Also included with the game is a number of cardboard tokens, as well as double sided player boards each representing a different wonder. The wonders are all different and will require you to slightly tailor your strategy to them. Some provide free cards while others might be more focused on science buildings. If you go random draw to select your wonder, be prepared to be flexible with your strategy. Every player in 7 Wonders will get a different ancient civilization to control. As mentioned before, each one is unique, you will be advised to tailor your play strategy to that specific civilization. While it is optional, most players will be constructing their wonder during the game as they provide both victory points and a tangible benefit. The wonder boards also start with one resource the player will have access to during the game. Players then collect 3 coins and their opening hand of 7 cards. Resources will be the life blood of any player’s civilization. They allow players to construct buildings and also earn money from other players. Once play begins, each player selects a card they want to play from their hand and simultaneously reveals it, putting it in their play area. Some cards have a cost which are paid for by having access to the appropriate resources in your play area. You don’t actually have to spend the resource, just produce it. So if a card costs 1 ore, you just need access to a card in your play area that produces ore. One of the areas where player interaction happens is when you buy resources from your neighbors (the players sitting directly adjacent to you on either side). Resources cost 2 coins per resource and a player can’t decline the sale. Buying a resource doesn’t stop the owning player from using it that turn, it just gives you access to it. Once each player has played and paid for their chosen card, all hands are passed either clockwise or counterclockwise (depending on the age). You then pick up your new hand of cards and choose another to play. This repeats until each player has only 2 cards left in their hand. At this point each player chooses one of the last 2 to play, discards the other, and the age is over. As you get into the 2nd and 3rd ages, cards will not only get more powerful, but require more resources. One way to get around the high costs is by the use of chaining. Certain earlier cards can build later cards for free. Each card lists both what it can build for free and also how it can be built for free. It’s a great mechanic that helps you to plan for later rounds. Finally, if a player can’t (or doesn’t want to) play a card, they can sell (discard) a card for 3 coins. In between ages, players check for military score and hand out victory point chips appropriately. Military is based on how many military structures you’ve built compared to your immediate neighbors. The loser of the comparison gains a -1 VP chip while the winner gains positive VPs, either 1, 3 or 5 depending on the current age. After that is settled, players deal out a new hand of cards for the next age. Once age 3 is completed, the game is over and the final scores are tallied up. The player with the most victory points is the winner. The player area in 7 Wonders will hold a player’s wonder board, money and all buildings the construct. Game Experience: The game play in 7 Wonders is delightfully simple, yet the variety of cards make the strategy level run deep. I love all the different cards that will come across your hand during the game. There are different types of resource production buildings, victory point buildings, cards that impact your neighbors, and the high scoring science buildings. With a limited amount of cards you can play during the game, 7 wonders demands that you have a strategy that is both flexible and conscious of what your neighbors are doing. And that’s the key with 7 wonders, to be adaptive in your strategy. A quick way to ensure you lose is to copy what your fellow players are doing. Since cards are being passed around, you can bet your neighbors will try and deny you any cards that you obviously need. That’s why a player has to be flexible. You may really want to go military, but if the player 2 spots down is going heavy military, you might never see a good card for it. Or if a you are going heavy science, you can bet that the person next to you will be choosing science cards when deciding which card to bury under their wonder. Military cards can be very powerful in 7 Wonders, just don’t get caught in an arms race. One of the things that keeps me coming back to 7 wonders is the variety. I have dubbed 7 Wonders my favorite game that I almost never win. I don’t know what it is about the game, but I’m constantly an “also ran.” Even though I lose a good amount of the time, I enjoy the hell out of every game I play. I think that actually says a lot about the game. If you can get a player coming back to play more and more who never wins, you know you have a fun game on your hands. In addition to requiring the players to be flexible, 7 Wonders also helps to keep things interesting by its card interaction. I love how some early buildings can build later buildings for free. The chains aren’t always completely obvious either, sometimes a science building will lead to a military building later in the game. These free buildings can be a god send late in the game when resourceful costs are high to construct most every building. Another thing 7 Wonders has going for it is that the game only takes about 45 minutes (or less) to play. Most of the time when we play, we will get in at least 2 games in a row. The setup is fairly quick and once all players have a feel for the rules, so do the turns. Between games players can also switch out their wonders to help keep the new game fresh and different. If you’ve bought the wonder pack expansion, you will have a lot of player choices each game. This helps add to the replay value. Building chaining is a nice game mechanic, it allows earlier buildings to construct later ones for free. If I had a complaint with 7 Wonders, it would be its heavy reliance on symbols. Every card has a symbol on it and sometimes they are not the most intuitive. I think it adds a bit to the learning curve to decipher them all, especially if you don’t play often. We have even made a player aid for our players to aid in this process. It’s not a huge issue, but it will make first time players struggle a bit more. But honestly, that’s my only real complaint about the game. 7 Wonders is a game I’m always willing to bring to the table and that I’ll play over and over. My copy of the game is definitely…well loved. 7 Wonders runs deep on strategy without overly complex rules. One of my favorite parts of the game though is that it scales seamlessly from 2-7 players. While 2 is less then ideal (you need a dummy city), 3+ is the ideal range. Most games will add to the play time when you add in more players. Since all the turns happen simultaneously in 7 Wonders, that’s not really an issue. The game takes about 30-45 minutes whether you have 4 players or 7. The game stays balanced based on the number of players as well. There are not a lot of games that can boast these accolades. Players should construct their wonder during the game as each provides both victory points and an in-game bonus. In case you can’t tell, I love 7 Wonders. It’s easily one of my top 5 favorite games. Its rare that I can find a game that will accommodate 7 players without it taking 4 hours to play. The unique game mechanics in 7 Wonders also consistently have me coming back for more as well. I love the concept of passing your hand after each play (card drafting) as it forces players to keep on their toes and adds in a bit of excitement of something new each round. Add that to the fact that the rules are easy to learn makes it an easy choice to get to the gaming table. So far, there have also been 2 expansions for the game. The first was 7 Wonders: Leaders. This expansion added a leader card to each civilization. This probably isn’t my favorite expansion for the game as I doesn’t seem to flow with the game as well as it could have. Most of the time we usually play without it. The second and recently released expansion is 7 Wonders: Cities. This expansion was an immediate hit in my book. It added a new group of cards that flows in seamlessly with the base game. They new cards only require minor explanation to understand and introduce a couple of new (yet easy to understand) game mechanics. If you are looking for a light euro game to try out, I’d highly recommend 7 Wonders. The strategy, play time, and unique mechanics make it a perfect fit for any game night. It is also non-gamer friendly so it makes a fantastic gateway game. If you are interested in getting a copy for yourself, it’s about $30. Final Score: 5 Stars – A unique and fun game that is different every time you play. A must own! • Quick play time • Unique game play • Scales perfectly from 2 to 7 players • Very high replay value • Slight learning curve for new players due to the symbols Abstract Strategy Game Euro Game Non-Gamer Friendly While he will play just about anything, Tony loves games that let him completely immerse himself in the theme. He also is a bit of a component addict. Head Hackers Review Imagineers Review Folded Wishes Review James Brooks Sep 18, 2012 at 6:03 pm I’ve played a lot of 2p 7 Wonders and it’s still fantastic, the dummy civilization can be played in an interesting way to try and screw with your opponent or advantage you (using cards they need, buying resources from you, things like that). 🙂 Board Game Quest Sep 18, 2012 at 8:10 pm That’s good to know James. I might have to get the 2 player version a try. Chris Messer Nov 28, 2017 at 1:54 pm Have owned this game for a couple years and never played. It is rather complicated for non gamers. Each time we go to the instructions, interest is lost long before we ever understand what to do. Tony Mastrangeli Nov 28, 2017 at 3:03 pm If you are looking for a good gateway game for card drafting, check out Sushi Go!. It will teach you some basic mechanics pretty easily, and from there, it’s a lot easier to get into 7 Wonders.

__label__cc	0.569021	0.430979	San Diego Will Be Shining Bright on the 24th Annual National Solar Tour Local tours include six educational seminars and 11 solar open houses, giving tools to declare energy independence, thanks to Sullivan Solar Power and local partners SAN DIEGO - September 18, 2019 - (Newswire.com) The 24th Annual National Solar Tour is coming to San Diego and Orange counties on October 5, organized locally by Sullivan Solar Power, in conjunction with the National Solar Tour, presenting nonprofits American Solar Energy Society and Solar United Neighbors. The tour will be the largest in California and will feature events across the nation as a day for homeowners and community members alike to learn about the power of solar energy and to hear from their solar-equipped neighbors on the various benefits of going solar. The National Solar Tour allows participants to speak directly with solar customers and their solar company about the costs, processes and financials of going solar. These tours also provide a glimpse at how solar+storage systems look on different homes. In the past, the nationwide tours have attracted 150,000+ people across 49 states. Sullivan Solar Power has planned several solar tours throughout the 15 years it has been in business, but this is the first year it has joined the national tour. “We are thrilled that our local tour will be one of the largest and most robust solar tours in the nation,” said founder and president of Sullivan Solar Power, Daniel Sullivan. “Our clients, suppliers and nonprofit partners are excited to share their success stories with the community and create a space for hands-on education while learning about the power of solar and visiting operational systems.” From 11 a.m.-12 p.m. on October 5, there will be six solar + storage seminars taking place across the region. These seminars are free to the public and will include presentations from nationally certified energy practitioners, solar manufacturers and nonprofit experts. The seminars will cover solar technology, battery storage, policy updates, time-of-use rates, system design, how to choose a solar provider, the sunsetting federal tax credit and more. There will be several solar home tours located near the six seminar venues where, after the seminars from 12-2 p.m., attendees are invited to visit homes that have made the switch to solar and learn about the process of going solar from their friends and neighbors. Each home is unique and will have a different layout and design. Several homes will also have battery storage, electric vehicles and electric vehicle chargers featured. “Five years ago, my wife and I decided we wanted to power our house, our cars and our lives off sunshine, and so it’s been ever since and will be for years to come,” said Mark Hughes, host of a solar open house. To attend a San Diego solar tour, RSVP at www.sdsolartour.org. For the Orange County tour, RSVP at www.ocsolartour.org. The countywide tours will take place from 11 a.m.-2 p.m. on October 5 and are open to the public.

__label__cc	0.596994	0.403006	Machines appear more persuasive when pretending to be human Listen \| Print By Tim Sandle Nov 28, 2019 in Technology A new study shows when robots disclose their non-human nature, their efficiency is compromised. Conversely, when robots act more ‘human’ then interaction with people is considerably improved. With the research, scientists at Max-Planck-Gesellschaft and New York University set out sought to assess if cooperation between humans and machines alters when the machine purports to be human. By running an experiment where humans interacted with bots, the scientists found that bots are better than humans in certain human-machine interactions. However, this only happened when robots were allowed to hide their non-human identity. The research involved 700 volunteer subjects to take part in an online cooperation game (“prisoner's dilemma”), where they needed to interact with a human or an artificial partner. For the game, the players can either act egotistically to exploit the other player, or act cooperatively creating advantages for both sides. The main aspect of the experiment was where researchers gave selected subjects false information in relation to their gaming partner's identity. Some subjects were told the player they were interacting with was a bot; other players were told they were up against another human. The variations as to who the opponent was enabled the scientists to assess if humans are prejudiced against gaming partners based on a human or robot identity. The research revealed that machines impersonating humans were more successful in convincing their gaming partners to cooperate, provided the person playing thought the robot was human. Where the human player became aware they were up against a machine, the cooperation rates fell away. In practice this might suggest that a help-desk run by robots could be more efficient than desks run by people, but only if the identity of the robots was unknown. According to lead researcher, Dr. Talal Rahwan: “Although there is broad consensus that machines should be transparent about how they make decisions, it is less clear whether they should be transparent about who they are.” It will be important to ensure there is also a framework in place for designing machine learning algorithms to make it easier for designers to specify safety and fairness constraints for robots. This will help build trust between humans and machines. The research has been published in the journal Nature Machine Intelligence. The research paper is titled “Behavioural evidence for a transparency–efficiency tradeoff in human–machine cooperation.” More about Automation, Bots, Machines, Call center Automation Bots Machines Call center	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0107.json.gz/line540

__label__cc	0.74357	0.25643	PROJECT BENCHMARK In an effort to encourage new retail chain development in Dumas, The Dumas EDC embarked on an extensive recruitment and awareness campaign. Beginning in 2009 at the ICSC Dealmaking Event in San Antonio, we have had discussions with Sears pertaining to the possible locating of a Sears Store in Dumas. In May of 2011, we scheduled a site visit and put together a package demonstrating the retail sales potential for Dumas. In July, we visited with an existing Sears Hometown Store operator from Brownfield, Texas, Donald Richins. Mr. Richins had indicated some interest in a store for Dumas, but had not committed. Discussions ensued regarding a future retail development being considered by a local business person; however the timeline did not meet up with the timeline of Sears. We put Mr. Richins and Mr. Carter in contact with an existing building owner. We discussed the i mportance of Sears considering a location at the new retail development and Mr. Richins indicated that he too would prefer that location. But because of his timeline, he felt he needed to find a temporary location immediately. We combined efforts with a new retail center being considered in Dumas with the new Sears store. After the new retail mall is complete, Mr. Richins indicated he plans to consider moving the Sears store to the new retail site. The Dumas EDC initiated the Chapter 380 Program in Dumas to help provide incentives to retail stores that would attract new retail dollars to the community and could demonstrate an increase in sales dollars coming from outside the community. The program provides a rebate of sales taxes collected by the city of Dumas to the business upon receipt of records identifying the annual sales. In addition, because the business is anticipated to provide a ten year economic impact on the community in excess of $15 million, the Dumas EDC provided a cash incentive to help cover the costs of building improvements and FFE.	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0107.json.gz/line546

Cause [Contents] Sunderland College [Contents] Advance Wars Sunderland College [3.4 – Jackson vs. Paris] Posted by :cosmicPostman On : 14/01/2020 Category: Part 3, Sunderland College In the model’s lounge, Eiden and Aubree are relaxing on one of the sofas, getting a drink. “You alright? You had a bit of a funny turn out there.” Eiden says. “Yeah, I’m OK.” Aubree replies. “I thought I saw someone I recognised, but it wasn’t. Silly old me!” “Fair.” Eiden says, buying the ploy. “Uh, hey, I wanted to ask about your dad. Obviously I get that you might not wanna talk about it, so no worries if not.” “It’s nothing too bad.” Aubree says, fiddling with a small beetle in resin that she had in her pocket. “He and my mother, um, divorced. But I still see him a lot! He inspired all my creative side, since my mum doesn’t like it. She wants me to be academic.” “Except, since he’s the one that inspires me, and now he’s here… the pressure’s on, you know? I want to show him that I’m doing my best and succeeding, just like he always taught me! …I’m hoping that if I keep doing well with my designing, he’ll show me what he knows about…” “About?” Eiden asks. Aubree glances around the room suspiciously, then leans in and whispers into Eiden’s ear. “Little secret: my dad’s a Patchworker. I’m hoping that if I do well, he’ll show me some stuff about Patchworking.” “Oh, that’s so cool, you have a- uh, hold on.” Eiden starts, then turns. He falls silent as the announcers start up, and, realising the next match has begun, the pair head to the windows to observe with everyone else. “Alright, ladies and gentlemen!” Lauren shouts above the crowd. “We’re reaching the late afternoon now, but we’re ready for the other semi-final match now!” “Our combatants this time are, firstly, Jackson Slacall, who you may remember used his Bluster Bottoms to great effect in his first fight. He’s a strong contender – those pants are homemade, but I had the chance to look over them during lunch. They’re designed to a professional standard; this kid knows his way around clothing, that’s for sure.” “His opponent is Paris Duvoir, son of Dexter Duvoir, who as we know is using the Swift Scarf! He’s proved himself twice already and won’t go down without a fight!” Paris’ eyebrows lower thunderously. “One day,” he hisses to himself. “They will introduce me as ‘Paris Duvoir’. Not ‘Paris Duvoir, son of Dexter Duvoir’.” Jackson is standing on the field, feeling the air swirl around him. He glances around the stands, but he can’t see the person he’s looking for. “…Ah well. I’d best put on a good show, anyway.” “Alright, folks, let’s get it going.” Hector says. Down on the field, combat referee Alarna strides up to the edge of the arena and glances at the two fighters, looking at each other with fierce eyes. “Begin!” she shouts. Paris walks towards Jackson, with a lazy smile. He has his scarf around his neck, and his eyes are trained on Jackson’s eyes, not moving or blinking. “It feels intense. But he looks so calm.” murmurs Boo. “He’s scared.” Xilog says. “They’re not calm footsteps. They’re wary ones.” One moment later, just as Paris reaches the halfway point of the arena, he launches himself to the side as Jackson releases a huge blast of wind. Landing, catlike on the ground, Paris grins at Jackson and runs at him. “The Swift Scarf is truly unmatched. Jackson tried to fake him out, but to no avail.” remarks Hector. “Did you really think opening the battle in the exact same way would work out in your favour again? I watched your fight!” Paris yells as he runs at Jackson. Jackson observes him for a few moments, then darts forward to throw a punch. “No,” he says, watching with no surprise as Paris predicts and avoids the blow. Paris goes to counterattack but Jackson leaps back to avoid any further combat. “But I also watched your fight. I’m just seeing what you’re capable of.” Somewhat thrown by the stark response, Paris stumbles for a moment, but rights himself shortly afterwards. Flicking his hair out of his face dramatically, he readjusts his scarf and begins to run at Jackson once more, keeping up his assault. He dodges every counterpunch Jackson throws, and manages to land a couple of hits on the young man’s body. “What is Jackson doing?” Anastasia remarks. Mia, Eiden and Aubree don’t have a particularly good answer. “Uh, taking hits?” Aubree says. “Hm… I’m wondering if that piece of clothing requires time to charge up power.” Eiden says. “I… feel like I’ve seen these designs. Jackson was working on them during some of the time that we were working on my mask.” “Like the Inner Heat Jumper? Building up energy inside, which is released in one huge blast?” Mia suggests. Eiden nods. “Then why was he able to release a huge blast at the beginning of his fight? He hadn’t charged up at all.” asks Aubree. “Ah, but he had.” Anastasia says, grinning. “Look at how he’s moving. Throwing punches without really putting much energy into them – all the focus is on his movement. He’s jumping, running, leaping…” “Movement. Yeah, look!” Eiden says, pointing. “The more he moves, the more violently the Bluster Bottoms are jiggling. It must be trapping air particles whenever he moves, ready to release!” “I don’t know what he intends to do, though.” Mia shrugs. “Paris can still predict and dodge any attack. He’s going to have to think of a really good strategy if he wants to pull it off.” Down on the field, they can see that Jackson is thinking the same thing – his movements are quick, lithe, but his face is serious, obviously grappling with what possible strategy could overcome an opponent who can predict any move. As the stone door slides open, the group stare in horror as a mummy comes ambling into view, gurgling and possessed by a strange form of life. A patch on the chest glows brightly. “The rumours are true!” Lott says, darting back as the mummy comes forward. “A patch applied to a mummy wrapped in Original Cloth really does bring it to life!” “So it seems…” Elysia replies. “Everyone get back. I’ll hold it off.” The group head through the stone door, into a large chamber. Elysia raises a hand and part of the clothing on her wrist transforms into a sharp blade and quickly extends towards the mummy. The creature screeches and tries to go for Elysia again, but she has already entered the room. The moment she jumps into the circular chamber, Axis and Gloom heave the doorway closed once more. “OK… that thing probably knows the layout of the tombs better than we do.” Gloom mutters as he listens to the groans of the mummy at the door. “We don’t have much time until it finds another way in here, then.” Ellis replies. “But this… why is this room so empty?” As their torches scan around, they realise that it is quite true. Besides a small raised hexagonal platform in the centre of the circular room, about the height of a step, there is nothing of note. “This is strange indeed. Every room in a pyramid is intended to have a purpose. Although, now we’re underground, perhaps that’s not the case.” Axis muses. Lott heads to the centre of the room. “And then there’s this little platform. Do you think something was here, and has since vanished?” “That’s likely.” Lucas replies, watching as Sarah wanders over to stand next to Lott. “Then there’s those symbols on the wall there. Maybe the purpose of the room isn’t what’s in it, but what’s written on the walls. Perhaps there’s a hint about how to safely de-patch the mummy; that bit there looks like it’s about Patches.” Elysia and Ellis, the ones most familiar with heiroglyphics, walk to the walls. Just as their torches begin to scan over the strange lettering, Lott and Sarah stand on the raised hexagonal platform. It begins to sink into the ground, and Axis feels a strange rumbling below his feet. “Gloom-” “Yeah, I felt it too. Lott! Sarah! Get back!” There’s a clattering from above, joining the rumbling from below to create an orchestra of fear. A gigantic stone weight drops from the ceiling of the room, which Lott and Sarah only just manage to avoid by leaping to safety. The impact shatters the gigantic rock in two, but it also activates the second trap. The circular room’s floor, split into three equal-sized segments, collapses entirely, sending the group tumbling even deeper into the pyramid’s underground with a crash of stone and dust. In the first segment, Elysia and Ellis land relatively safely, finding themselves in a deep room. Above them, a large chunk of the weighted stone drops after them, and Ellis screams. Elysia curses, then readies two huge fabric blades on her arms. She jumps up and swings her arms as fiercely as possible, just as the rock falls; the rock is sliced in two, landing harmlessly with a thud on either side of the two women. For a moment, there is silence. Elysia looks around and realises that there is no exit from this tiny room that they have now fallen into. “My god.” Ellis whispers. “Thank you, Elysia… but now what do we do?” “We wait. Either the mummy will find us, thus revealing a hidden exit from this little trap, or we get help. And we pray that nobody else was injured.” In the second segment, Lott and Sarah hit the floor much harder than the others, and Lott collapses onto the ground. “Argh!” From above, the other half of the weighted stone begins to topple into their room. Sarah shrieks and tries to pull Lott to safety. “Save yourself!” Lott shouts, knowing that his legs can barely support him. They feel broken. Sarah grips him tightly. “Absolutely not! Come… on!” The weighted stone falls into the room. The two lives are snuffed out instantly. In the third segment, Lucas and Axis tumble down amongst the rocks and destroyed floor, but Lucas’ eyes flash and their descent begins to slow: Gloom’s Control Labcoat is, as usual, helping them out immensely. “Thanks.” Axis replies as they reach the bottom safely. Lucas nods as he looks around the room. “No worries. I really hope everyone else is OK… we need to find a way out of here.” “That might be a good start.” Axis says, pointing at descending staircase in the corner of the room, somewhat covered by the rubble all around. “If we shift these rocks, we can see where this goes.” “Good idea.” Lucas says. The pair begin moving the rocks. A figure, impossible to see in the darkness, watches them from the stairs. “Ah, the scarfed savant strikes again!” Donovan says as he, Boo and Xilog watch Paris dodge past Jackson’s latest punch and kick him in the side of the head, sending him crashing to the ground. “It is not going well for Jackson. He’s not been hit too much, but he’s not landed a single hit on Paris yet.” Xilog says. “This is… vexing. The Swift Scarf seems to have no weakness in a one-on-one combat situation. It cannot be overcome, and any possible approach can be predicted or avoided with surgical precision. Is there any way to trick it? Can one trick a piece of Battle Clothing as you would a mind, or would…” Boo taps Xilog on the shoulder, disturbing his reverie. “You were muttering again.” “Apologies.” Xilog replies. “Let’s see… we have to continue supporting Jackson, even if he’s going to struggle, but… I want to think of a way he can win.” “There’s no shame in supporting a losing team!” Donovan grins. “So long as our burning spirits rise up as one and avenge the loser afterwards!” Cassandra, working in the gym, looks up as her phone buzzes. She puts down the dumbbells and flips open her phone to find an SMS message from a contact labelled “Bestie Bitch” – it’s Ten. Hey. Wanna go pub later? Cassandra stares for a moment. The anger she felt earlier that day has dissipated, and she knows that Ten had a point. Begrudgingly, she types a reply, and tries her best not to come across as annoyed. Can do. Just at gym, will be done by 4. Good? The reply comes instantaneously. Y, see you then. Cassandra smiles to herself. Arguments between herself and Ten never last long, and she’s pleased that this one is already over. It had been a very quiet day without her. Jackson looks up as Paris barrels towards him, and he only just manages to dodge. However, Paris delivers a swift follow-up punch that knocks Jackson backwards. Jackson stumbles, unable to stop his backward momentum, heading closer and closer to the edge of the arena. Paris watches carefully, and Jackson readies a blast of the Bluster Bottoms. The force of the wind propels him forwards, away from the edge, and he uses the additional velocity to throw a heavy punch at Paris, who sees it coming and is already moving to negate it. He grabs Jackson’s outstretched fist and pulls down quickly, using Jackson’s speed against him by hurling him into the air and suplexing him into the ground with a heavy slam. “Oh, that was brutal.” Boo murmurs. “I’ve done that to my fair share of, uh, karate friends.” “Karate friends?” asks Xilog. “Well, I did karate, but… nobody really talked to me outside of the lessons. They weren’t friends, just…” “Karate friends.” Xilog says. “I understand.” “Does one not think that the ‘suplexing people into the ground with all the energies of evilness’ might have something to do with that?” Donovan asks, and Boo smirks briefly. Paris goes to grab Jackson, but Jackson kicks out; he doesn’t hit Paris, but he forces him to keep his distance. Once Jackson is stood up, he faces Paris with a smile. They’re in the far corner of the arena, with Paris stood nearer to the edge and Jackson closer to the middle. “What do you have to grin about?” Paris asks. “I’ve won.” Jackson says. Lifting a hand, he prepares a huge storm of wind that begins to whistle around him, whirling faster and faster. “Jackson seems to be delivering an even more powerful gust of wind than before. It’s almost a small tornado…” murmurs Hector. “What is he planning?” “How?” asks Paris, standing very still and letting his scarf flutter in the breeze. “Anything you do, I can presciently avoid. It’s only a matter of time before my victory.” “I’ve been thinking hard this entire match.” Jackson says. “How do you defeat a piece of Battle Clothing that can predict any move from a single opponent?” “You don’t!” shouts Paris into the wind, which is drowning out his words. Jackson’s voice, meanwhile, is being magnified by the windstorm he is now ensconced in. “Oh, you do. Your ability is to predict my moves, and then dodge. However, it doesn’t matter whether you predict this next strike or not…” Jackson booms, lifting a hand and pointing it right at Paris as the wind reaches fever pitch. Paris sees the attack coming, and already understands what Jackson has done. He tries to run anyway, and the wind launches itself at him. “…Because you can’t dodge an unavoidable attack!” The blast of wind is huge, and it is physically impossible for Paris to get out of the way in time. With nowhere else to go and nothing to do, Paris is caught by the wind and dragged into the air, being deposited at the edge of the stadium, just below the crowds, fully out of bounds. The wind subsides, and Jackson takes a large breath, satisfied. “Absolutely brilliant thinking from Jackson here!” Lauren shouts as the crowd cheers. “Fan favourite Paris Duvoir has been defeated, but will that performance be enough to wow the judges? Let’s find out! Hector?” “Yep, I’m getting them in now. Lesse, Jackson won the victory point… and the efficiency point… Paris won the style point, the skill point, and… oh. Jackson won the performance point. 3-2 to Jackson – Jackson is in the final!” Hector reports. Jackson heaves a sigh of relief as he re-enters the stands and heads to the model’s lounge. He spots Paris up the corridor. “Hey.” he says. Paris eyes him angrily for a moment, but the hatred fades almost instantly. “Hi. You… you were very impressive. And your clothing is ornate and powerful… who are you?” “Just a guy.” Jackson shrugs. “I would very much like to get to know you further.” Paris says, eyeing Jackson’s Bluster Bottoms with evident envy. “Model and designer in one… you definitely have an interesting parentage.” “You aren’t my type, sorry.” Jackson says, smirking. Paris blusters incomprehensibly and goes red. “I’m not- I wasn’t- why would you!” “Kidding, man.” Jackson replies. “Let’s get to the lounge already, shall we? I don’t have much time before the final.” “You’ve done well to beat me.” Paris says. “I doubt anyone else could pose a threat.” “You’ve not met Eiden.” Jackson replies, and as he opens the door of the model’s lounge, Eiden, Clocksworth and the other girls congratulate him. “Thank you, thanks so much.” “Hey, Jackson. Are these the clothes that you were designing whilst we were doing the mask the other week?” Eiden says. Paris glances up at the figure of Eiden Darrow, still wearing his Spider Snood and mask. “Yeah, it is. Thought I’d been subtle about it.” Jackson says. “I didn’t see much, but I recognised the wind patterns and stuff you were drawing. I’m still very interested to learn how you know all this stuff. You design like a pro.” “I, uh… I guess.” Jackson says. “But hey, we’d better prepare for the final.” “Suppose so.” Eiden says, stepping aside and allowing Jackson to approach the table on the other side of the room, where refreshments have been placed. Paris nods at Eiden. “Well met.” “You did good too. I’m still really fond of the Swift Scarf… too bad I can’t wear it with my Snood.” “Indeed.” Paris grins. “I look forward to this final. From what I’ve seen of you and Jackson, it will be a most interesting fight indeed. For now, though, excuse me. I… may have to ring my father and do some damage control.” Without saying anything further or waiting for a reply, Paris exits the lounge, pulling his phone out of a pocket. Eiden glances at the arena, in full view through the large windows of the model’s lounge. The final is soon. As much as he likes Jackson, only one person can win the competition. Eiden’s eyes narrow. I can do this. Aubree notices Eiden’s expression. “Man, he’s going to give it his all, isn’t he..?” “Looks like it.” Anastasia says. “What did you expect, though? Both Eiden and Jackson are very invested in this competition.” “Eiden doesn’t even want to be a model.” Aubree mutters as she flops on one of the sofas beside Anastasia. “I wonder what’s inspiring him to fight so hard?” Anastasia glances at Eiden, then at Aubree, then back to Eiden. “…Yeah, it’s a mystery.” she shrugs.

__label__cc	0.576563	0.423437	Chapter 26: Artistic Attempts It takes people a long time to learn the difference between talent and genius, especially ambitious young men and women. Amy was learning this distinction through much tribulation, for mistaking enthusiasm for inspiration, she attempted every branch of art with youthful audacity. For a long time there was a lull in the `mud-pie' business, and she devoted herself to the finest pen-and-ink drawing, in which she showed such taste and skill that her graceful handiwork proved both pleasant and profitable. But over-strained eyes caused pen and ink to be laid aside for a bold attempt at poker sketching. While this attack lasted, the family lived in constant fear of a conflagration, for the odor of burning wood pervaded the house at all hours, smoke issued from attic and shed with alarming frequency, red-hot pokers lay about promiscuously, and Hannah never went to bed without a pail of water and the dinner bell at her door in case of fire. Raphael's face was found boldly executed on the underside of the moulding board, and Bacchus on the head of a beer barrel. A chanting cherub adorned the cover of the sugar bucket, and attempts to portray Romeo and Juliet supplied kindling for some time. From fire to oil was a natural transition for burned fingers, and Amy fell to painting with undiminished ardor. An artist friend fitted her out with his castoff palettes, brushes, and colors, and she daubed away, producing pastoral and marine views such as were never seen on land or sea. Her monstrosities in the way of cattle would have taken prizes at an agricultural fair, and the perilous pitching of her vessels would have produced seasickness in the most nautical observer, if the utter disregard to all known rules of shipbuilding and rigging had not convulsed him with laughter at the first glance. Swarthy boys and dark-eyed Madonnas, staring at you from one corner of the studio, suggested Murillo. Oily brown shadows of faces with a lurid streak in the wrong place, meant Rembrandt. Buxom ladies and dropiscal infants, Rubens, and Turner appeared in tempests of blue thunder, orange lightning, brown rain, and purple clouds, with a tomato-colored splash in the middle, which might be the sun or a buoy, a sailor's shirt or a king's robe, as the spectator pleased. Charcoal portraits came next, and the entire family hung in a row, looking as wild and crocky as if just evoked from a coal bin. Softened into crayon sketches, they did better, for the likenesses were good, and Amy's hair, Jo's nose, Meg's mouth, and Laurie's eyes were pronounced `wonderfully fine'. A return to clay and plaster followed, and ghostly casts of her acquaintances haunted corners of the house, or tumbled off closet shelves onto people's heads. Children were enticed in as models, till their incoherent accounts of her mysterious doings caused Miss Amy to be regarded in the light of a young ogress. Her efforts in this line, however, were brought to an abrupt close by an untoward accident, which quenched her ardor. Other models failing her for a time, she undertook to cast her own pretty foot, and the family were one day alarmed by an unearthly bumping and screaming and running to the rescue, found the young enthusiast hopping wildly about the shed with her foot held fast in a pan full of plaster, which had hardened with unexpected rapidity. With much difficulty and some danger she was dug out, for Jo was so overcome with laughter while she excavated that her knife went too far, cut the poor foot, and left a lasting memorial of one artistic attempt, at least. After this Amy subsided, till a mania for sketching from nature set her to haunting river, field, and wood, for picturesque studies, and sighing for ruins to copy. She caught endless colds sitting on damp grass to book `delicious bit', composed of a stone, a stump, one mushroom, and a broken mullein stalk, or `a heavenly mass of clouds', that looked like a choice display of featherbeds when done. She sacrificed her complexion floating on the river in the midsummer sun to study light and shade, and got a wrinkle over her nose trying after `points of sight', or whatever the squint-and-string performance is called. If `genius is eternal patience', as Michelangelo affirms, Amy had some claim to the divine attribute, for she persevered in spite of all obstacles, failures, and discouragements, firmly believing that in time she should do something worthy to be called `high art'. She was learning, doing, and enjoying other things, meanwhile, for she had resolved to be an attractive and accomplished woman, even if she never became a great artist. Here she succeeded better, for she was one of those happily created beings who please without effort, make friends everywhere, and take life so gracefully and easily that less fortunate souls are tempted to believe that such are born under a lucky star. Everybody liked her, for among her good gifts was tact. She had an instinctive sense of what was pleasing and proper, always said the right thing to the right person, did just what suited the time and place, and was so self-possessed that her sisters used to say, If Amy went to court without any rehearsal beforehand, she'd know exactly what to do. One of her weaknesses was a desire to move in `our best society', without being quite sure what the best really was. Money, position, fashionable accomplishments, and elegant manners were most desirable things in her eyes, and she liked to associate with those who possessed them, often mistaking the false for the true, and admiring what was not admirable. Never forgetting that by birth she was a gentlewoman, she cultivated her aristocratic tastes and feelings, so that when the opportunity came she might be ready to take the place from which poverty now excluded her. My lady, as her friends called her, sincerely desired to be a genuine lady, and was so at heart, but had yet to learn that money cannot buy refinement of nature, that rank does not always confer nobility, and that true breeding makes itself felt in spite of external drawbacks. I want to ask a favor of you, Mamma, Amy said, coming in with an important air one day. Well, little girl, what is it? replied her mother, in whose eyes the stately young lady still remained `the baby'. Our drawing class breaks up next week, and before the girls separate for the summer, I want to ask them out here for a day. They are wild to see the river, sketch the broken bridge, and copy some of the things they admire in my book. They have been very kind to me in many ways, and I am grateful, for they are all rich and I know I am poor, yet they never made any difference. Why should they? And Mrs. March put the question with what the girls called her `Maria Theresa air'. You know as well as I that it does make a difference with nearly everyone, so don't ruffle up like a dear, motherly hen, when your chickens get pecked by smarter birds. The ugly duckling turned out a swan, you know. And Amy smiled without bitterness, for she possessed a happy temper and hopeful spirit. Mrs. March laughed, and smoothed down her maternal pride as she asked, Well, my swan, what is your plan? I should like to ask the girls out to lunch next week, to take them for a drive to the places they want to see, a row on the river, perhaps, and make a little artistic fete for them. That looks feasible. What do you want for lunch? Cake, sandwiches, fruit, and coffee will be all that is necessary, I suppose? Oh, dear, no! We must have cold tongue and chicken, French chocolate and ice cream, besides. The girls are used to such things, and I want my lunch to be proper and elegant, though I do work for my living. How many young ladies are there? asked her mother, beginning to look sober. Twelve or fourteen in the class, but I dare say they won't all come. Bless me, child, you will have to charter an omnibus to carry them about. Why, Mother, how can you think of such a thing? Not more than six or eight will probably come, so I shall hire a beach wagon and borrow Mr. Laurence's cherry-bounce. (Hannah's pronunciation of charabanc.) All of this will be expensive, Amy. Not very. I've calculated the cost, and I'll pay for it myself. Don't you think, dear, that as these girls are used to such things, and the best we can do will be nothing new, that some simpler plan would be pleasanter to them, as a change if nothing more, and much better for us than buying or borrowing what we don't need, and attempting a style not in keeping with our circumstances? If I can't have it as I like, I don't care to have it at all. I know that I can carry it out perfectly well, if you and the girls will help a little, and I don't see why I can't if I'm willing to pay for it, said Amy, with the decision which opposition was apt to change into obstinacy. Mrs. March knew that experience was an excellent teacher, and when it was possible she left her children to learn alone the lessons which she would gladly have made easier, if they had not objected to taking advice as much as they did salts and senna. Very well, Amy, if your heart is set upon it, and you see your way through without too great an outlay of money, time, and temper, I'll say no more. Talk it over with the girls, and whichever way you decide, I'll do my best to help you. Thanks, Mother, you are always so kind. And away went Amy to lay her plan before her sisters. Meg agreed at once, and promised to her aid, gladly offering anything she possessed, from her little house itself to her very best salt spoons. But Jo frowned upon the whole project and would have nothing to do with it at first. Why in the world should you spend your money, worry your family, and turn the house upside down for a parcel of girls who don't care a sixpence for you? I thought you had too much pride and sense to truckle to any mortal woman just because she wears French boots and rides in a coupe, said Jo, who, being called from the tragic climax of her novel, was not in the best mood for social enterprises. I don't truckle, and I hate being patronized as much as you do! returned Amy indignantly, for the two still jangled when such questions arose. The girls do care for me, and I for them, and there's a great deal of kindness and sense and talent among them, in spite of what you call fashionable nonsense. You don't care to make people like you, to go into good society, and cultivate your manners and tastes. I do, and I mean to make the most of every chance that comes. You can go through the world with your elbows out and your nose in the air, and call it independence, if you like. That's not my way. When Amy had whetted her tongue and freed her mind she usually got the best of it, for she seldom failed to have common sense on her side, while Jo carried her love of liberty and hate of conventionalities to such an unlimited extent that she naturally found herself worsted in an argument. Amy's definition of Jo's idea of independence was such a good hit that both burst out laughing, and the discussion took a more amiable turn. Much against her will, Jo at length consented to sacrifice a day to Mrs. Grundy, and help her sister through what she regarded as `a nonsensical business'. The invitations were sent, nearly all accepted, and the following Monday was set apart for the grand event. Hannah was out of humor because her week's work was deranged, and prophesied that ef the washin' and ironin' warn't done reg'lar, nothin' would go well anywheres . This hitch in the mainspring of the domestic machinery had a bad effect upon the whole concern, but Amy's motto was `Nil desperandum', and having made up her mind what to do, she proceeded to do it in spite of all obstacles. To begin with, Hannah's cooking didn't turn out well. The chicken was tough, the tongue too salt, and the chocolate wouldn't froth properly. Then the cake and ice cost more than Amy expected, so did the wagon, and various other expenses, which seemed trifling at the outset, counted up rather alarmingly afterward. Beth got a cold and took to her bed. Meg had an unusual number of callers to keep her at home, and Jo was in such a divided state of mind that her breakages, accidents, and mistakes were uncommonly numerous, serious, and trying. It was not fair on Monday, the young ladies were to come on Tuesday, and arrangement which aggravated Jo and Hannah to the last degree. On Monday morning the weather was in that undecided state which is more exasperating than a steady pour. It drizzled a little, shone a little, blew a little, and didn't make up its mind till it was too late for anyone else to make up theirs. Amy was up at dawn, hustling people out of their beds and through their breakfasts, that the house might be got in order. The parlor struck her as looking uncommonly shabby, but without stopping to sigh for what she had not, she skillfully made the best of what she had, arranging chairs over the worn places in the carpet, covering stains on the walls with home-made statuary, which gave an artistic air to the room, as did the lovely vases of flowers Jo scattered about. The lunch looked charming, and as she surveyed it, she sincerely hoped it would taste well, and that the borrowed glass, china, and silver would get safely home again. The carriages were promised, Meg and Mother were all ready to do the honors, Beth was able to help Hannah behind the scenes, Jo had engaged to be as lively and amiable as an absent mind, and aching head, and a very decided disapproval of everybody and everything would allow, and as she wearily dressed, Amy cheered herself with anticipations of the happy moment when, lunch safely over, she should drive away with her friends for an afternoon of artistic delights, for the `cherry bounce' and the broken bridge were her strong points. Then came the hours of suspense, during which she vibrated from parlor to porch, while public opinion varied like the weathercock. A smart shower at eleven had evidently quenched the enthusiasm of the young ladies who were to arrive at twelve, for nobody came, and at two the exhausted family sat down in a blaze of sunshine to consume the perishable portions of the feast, that nothing might be lost. No doubt about the weather today, they will certainly come, so we must fly round and be ready for them, said Amy, as the sun woke her next morning. She spoke briskly, but in her secret soul she wished she had said nothing about Tuesday, for her interest like her cake was getting a little stale. I can't get any lobsters, so you will have to do without salad today, said Mr. March, coming in half an hour later, with an expression of placid despair. Use the chicken then, the toughness won't matter in a salad, advised his wife. Hannah left it on the kitchen table a minute, and the kittens got at it. I'm very sorry, Amy, added Beth, who was still a patroness of cats. Then I must have a lobster, for tongue alone won't do, said Amy decidedly. Shall I rush into town and demand one? asked Jo, with the magnanimity of a martyr. You'd come bringing it home under your arm without any paper, just to try me. I'll go myself, answered Amy, whose temper was beginning to fail. Shrouded in a thick veil and armed with a genteel traveling basket, she departed, feeling that a cool drive would soothe her ruffled spirit and fit her for the labors of the day. After some delay, the object of her desire was procured, likewise a bottle of dressing to prevent further loss of time at home, and off she drove again, well pleased with her own forethought. As the omnibus contained only one other passenger, a sleepy old lady, Amy pocketed her veil and beguiled the tedium of the way by trying to find out where all her money had gone to. So busy was she with her card full of refractory figures that she did not observe a newcomer, who entered without stopping the vehicle, till a masculine voice said, Good morning, Miss March, and, looking up, she beheld one of Laurie's most elegant college friends. Fervently hoping that he would get out before she did, Amy utterly ignored the basket at her feet, and congratulating herself that she had on her new traveling dress, returned the young man's greeting with her usual suavity and spirit. They got on excellently, for Amy's chief care was soon set at rest by learning that the gentleman would leave first, and she was chatting away in a peculiarly lofty strain, when the old lady got out. In stumbling to the door, she upset the basket, and oh horror! the lobster, in all its vulgar size and brilliancy, was revealed to the highborn eyes of a Tudor. By Jove, she's forgotten her dinner! cried the unconscious youth, poking the scarlet monster into its place with his cane, and preparing to hand out the basket after the old lady. Please don'tit'sit's mine, murmured Amy, with a face nearly as red as her fish. Oh, really, I beg pardon. It's an uncommonly fine one, isn't it? said Tudor, with great presence of mind, and an air of sober interest that did credit to his breeding. Amy recovered herself in a breath, set her basket boldly on the seat, and said, laughing, Don't you wish you were to have some of the salad he's going to make, and to see the charming young ladies who are to eat it? Now that was tact, for two of the ruling foibles of the masculine mind were touched. The lobster was instantly surrounded by a halo of pleasing reminiscences, and curiosity about `the charming young ladies' diverted his mind from the comical mishap. I suppose he'll laugh and joke over it with Laurie, but I shan't see them, that's a comfort, thought Amy, as Tudor bowed and departed. She did not mention this meeting at home (though she discovered that, thanks to the upset, her new dress was much damaged by the rivulets of dressing that meandered down the skirt), but went through with the preparations which now seemed more irksome than before, and at twelve o'clock all was ready again. feeling that the neighbors were interested in her movements, she wished to efface the memory of yesterday's failure by a grand success today, so she ordered the `cherry bounce', and drove away in state to meet and escort her guests to the banquet. There's the rumble, they're coming! I'll go onto the porch and meet them. It looks hospitable, and I want the poor child to have a good time after all her trouble, said Mrs. March, suiting the action to the word. But after one glance, she retired, with an indescribable expression, for looking quite lost in the big carriage, sat Amy and one young lady. Run, Beth, and help Hannah clear half the things off the table. It will be too absurd to put a luncheon for twelve before a single girl, cried Jo, hurrying away to the lower regions, too excited to stop even for a laugh. In came Amy, quite calm and delightfully cordial to the one guest who had kept her promise. The rest of the family, being of a dramatic turn, played their parts equally well, and Miss Eliott found them a most hilarious set, for it was impossible to control entirely the merriment which possessed them. The remodeled lunch being gaily partaken of, the studio and garden visited, and art discussed with enthusiasm, Amy ordered a buggy (alas for the elegant cherry-bounce), and drove her friend quietly about the neighborhood till sunset, when `the party went out'. As she came walking in, looking very tired but as composed as ever, she observed that every vestige of the unfortunate fete had disappeared, except a suspicious pucker about the corners of Jo's mouth. You've had a loverly afternoon for your drive, dear, said her mother, as respectfully as if the whole twelve had come. Miss Eliott is a very sweet girl, and seemed to enjoy herself, I thought, observed Beth, with unusual warmth. Could you spare me some of your cake? I really need some, I have so much company, and I can't make such delicious stuff as yours, asked Meg soberly. Take it all. I'm the only one here who likes sweet things, and it will mold before I can dispose of it, answered Amy, thinking with a sigh of the generous store she had laid in for such an end as this. It's a pity Laurie isn't here to help us, began Jo, as they sat down to ice cream and salad for the second time in two days. A warning look from her mother checked any further remarks, and the whole family ate in heroic silence, till Mr. March mildly observed, salad was one of the favorite dishes of the ancients, and Evelyn . . . Here a general explosion of laughter cut short the `history of salads', to the great surprise of the learned gentleman. Bundle everything into a basket and send it to the Hummels. Germans like messes. I'm sick of the sight of this, and there's no reason you should all die of a surfeit because I've been a fool, cried Amy, wiping her eyes. I thought I should have died when I saw you two girls rattling about in the what-you-call-it, like two little kernels in a very big nutshell, and Mother waiting in state to receive the throng, sighed Jo, quite spent with laughter. I'm very sorry you were disappointed, dear, but we all did our best to satisfy you, said Mrs. March, in a tone full of motherly regret. I am satisfied. I've done what I undertook, and it's not my fault that it failed. I comfort myself with that, said Amy with a little quiver in her voice. I thank you all very much for helping me, and I'll thank you still more if you won't allude to it for a month, at least. No one did for several months, but the word `fete' always produced a general smile, and Laurie's birthday gift to Amy was a tiny coral lobster in the shape of a charm for her watch guard.

The stage started straight away with echelons that broke the peloton in two. The Slovenian stayed in the group in which most of the favourites were, except Nairo Quintana -who was in front. The rider managed to stay in that group for the remaining of the stage, despite the changes of the rhythm of Movistar to slim down that group as much as possible. As a result of this escape, Quintana moved up to the second position of the General Classification and Pogacar dropped to the fourth place. "I don't think anyone today expected it to be so fast," said the young Slovenian at the end of the stage. "It was flat out all day which is crazy considering the stage was over 200km.

Robbie Williams won't do Take That reunion without Jason Orange By Bang Showbiz in Lifestyle / Showbiz on 27 December 2017 Follow Robbie Williams Robbie Williams Jason Orange Gary Barlow Howard Donald Mark Owen Robbie Williams is adamant he won't do a Take That reunion without Jason Orange, who quit the band in 2014. Robbie Williams will only reunite with Take That if Jason Orange agrees to return. The 'Candy' hitmaker - who first left the band in 1995 in order to focus on his own solo career before briefly rejoining in 2011 - has hinted that next year will see a big reunion but he is adamant he'll only do it if Jason - who quit in 2014 - does it too. Speaking to Closer magazine, he said of rejoining with Jason, Gary Barlow, Howard Donald and Mark Owen: ''I'm in if it's a five-piece. ''It's down to Jay. I speak to Jay about twice a year. I don't ask him stuff to do with Take That, but I know the other lads do.'' However, even if a reunion doesn't happen next year, the 43-year-old star has no plans to retire any time soon after he wrongly stepped away from music in 2006 when his seventh studio album 'Rudebox' flopped in the charts. He said recently: ''Yeah, 2006 happened, I went on tour and that just fried my brains and I decided that I retired. I didn't tell anybody because I knew I'd possibly been lying to myself. I took to my home, stayed there and grew a beard, chased UFOs, watched 'The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills', Orange County, New Jersey, Atlanta, even Dallas ... And in those three years off my brain turned to Swiss cheese. A man needs a purpose, which is why I came back.'' Robbie - who has spent time in rehab on numerous occasions throughout his career for alcoholism, substance abuse, depression and even an addiction to energy drinks Lucozade and Red Bull - has previously credited meeting his wife Ayda Field in 2006 with putting him back on track.

__label__cc	0.586911	0.413089	An Exploring South African Things to do in Cape Town, the Helderberg, and the Cape Winelands Tag Archives: football Things to See in USA: The AT&T Stadium in Arlington Travel Attractions 12 NOV 2016 Modern sports stadiums are often architectural masterpieces, and are almost all now without fail seen as much tourist attractions as actual sporting event venues! The city of Arlington, a principle city in the U.S. state of Texas is certainly home to one of these modern sporting marvels – the stunningly beautiful AT&T Stadium! Owned by the city of Arlington, the massive 80,000 seat stadium was first opened in 2009, following a construction period of 4 years, as the Cowboys Stadium, and carried that name until 2013 when the giant that is AT&T bought out the naming rights. Home to the NFL’s Dallas Cowboys (whose cheerleaders are probably just as famous a franchise as the American football team!), the AT&T Stadium was built to replace the partially covered Texas Stadium, and these days acts as a multi-discipline venue, hosting events such as concerts, basketball games, college and high school football contests, soccer matches, motocross and Spartan races, as well as the odd WWE wrestling spectacle or two! The stadium’s current construction cost is estimated to have been around 1.15 billion US dollars, making it one of the most expensive sporting arenas ever built. It’s main party trick is of course its fully retractable roof, which therefore allows play no matter what weather condition Arlington currently finds itself experiencing! It is also home to one of the worlds largest high definition video screen, which hangs from 20-yard line to 20-yard line. As you might imagine, and whether your enjoy American football or not, this beautiful example of modern engineering is quite the sight to behold and is definitely worth making a stop at should you ever find yourself anywhere remotely near the area! (That said, you may as well fly business cheap and get there in style if you aren’t nearby!) Oh, and an added bonus. There is a brilliant Stadium Art Programme attached to the venue as well – meaning that you don’t have to be a sport nut to get something out of a trip to this massive Texan landmark!

Whilst I certainly enjoyed the 2010 edition back in our own backyard, last year’s edition in Brazil seemed to be nothing but continued improvement upon improvement over the 2010 version. Exciting goal line technology, cool little innovations like the referee’s temporary line spray, and of course the SUPER exciting football itself! So many big upsets, so many goals, and so, so many spectacular pieces of football mastery on display – plus, a very deserved Germany walking away as the ultimate champs! Of course, watching the football over this period came with its own unique challenges: If I wasn’t away on a weekend out in Piekenierskloof, then this would happen whilst trying to watch the footie in my lounge… Needless to say, Chantelle was rather pleased when the month of soccer was FINALLY over! Somewhat related, 2014 also saw a lot of FIFA on the XBOX 360 take place, with a more or less formalized competition now in place for the likes of Evan, Damen, Ryan and myself. I’ve masterfully converted some old karate trophies into stunning football trophies, and every so often the guys will get together at Ryan’s place (being a bachelor has its perks), throw in some snacks, and battle it out in a two-on-two rotational basis which sees us recording points for every win and every goal scored. Although I showed some early promise in the year, the damn trophies remained completely out of my grasp for absolute ages, with Ryan, Evan and Damen all taking turns in holding the trophies aloft and basking in the glory and bragging rights that comes with coming out on top after a long evening of digital ball kicking. [subvertedgallery link=”file” columns=”7″ ids=”29996,29997,29998,29999,30030″] However, my luck did eventually turn on the very last FIFA gathering for 2014 before everyone split off on their holidays, when I managed to capture not one, but BOTH trophies on the night! (Moment immortalized below – you can see that I take better photos with my camera than what Evan does…) Anyway, for the longest time we’ve been sticking it out with FIFA 13 on the XBOX 360, but towards the end of last year Ryan picked up the new FIFA 15, prompting me to also pick it up a little while later (on a nice half price Christmas deal that XBOX Live was having). I know the new version of EA’s venerable football franchise totally kicks ass on the new generation XBOX One consoles, but seeing as that isn’t going to happen for quite a while in my household (not unless some money falls out the sky anyway), the updated team rosters, tweaked game play, AI, and animations will suffice on the 360 for now. Some aspects of the new version do annoy me though – like the all too often messy scrambles initiated by silly ball physics – but overall FIFA 15 is a solid play and I have to say, I’m enjoying my season managing Norwich City in the Championship (top of the table baby!). Of course, Ryan, Evan and Damen could construe this as practicing and thus call me out for cheating, but hey, I have to do what I have to do in order to retain those trophies! ;) Now the challenge for this year I guess is to expand our group and get a few more faces involved.

Sport & Health 15 NOV 2012 Ouch, seriously don’t want to be a national English football supporter right now. Sweden delivered a big right hook to the English in last night’s international, and chief destroyer of the English defense turned out to be the one and only Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who scored all four of Sweden’s goals on the night! The best moment of the night? Without a doubt Ibrahimovic’s jaw-dropping fourth goal to seal the win. Even England captain Steven Gerrard described Ibrahimovic’s stunning fourth goal in Stockholm on Wednesday night as “the best I’ve ever seen.” And I kind of have to agree.

Can you run?” “Of course I can run,” said the freshman. He was off like a shot, and, in just over nine seconds, he had run a hundred yard dash. “Great!” enthused the coach. “But can you pass a football?” The freshman hesitated for a few seconds. “Well, sir,” he said, “if I can swallow it, I can probably pass it.” Friday 08/06/2012 Jokes & other Funny Stuffcoach, football, football team, freshman, humor, joke, joke factory, laugh, pass, tryoutsCraig Lotter Remembering FIFA World Cup 2010: Paraguay vs. Italy My Life 27 SEP 2011 Now that the Rugby World Cup 2011 is in full swing and our boys are doing well, I can’t help but cast my mind back to the exciting period that was the FIFA World Cup 2010, hosted right here in our very own backyard. The excitement before and during the tournament was electrifying and everywhere you went, this feeling of unity, hope and joy just couldn’t be suppressed or surpassed. Truly this was one of the finest moments in our country’s history, or at least in my lifetime. It’s a pity our boys couldn’t have achieved more in the tournament itself, but I remember watching each and every one of their games on the edge of my seat, and I can still savour that overwhelming feeling when Tshabalala scored that magical opening goal! As it turned out, I only managed to snag tickets for one game, that game being the first round collision between Paraguay and Italy, played here at Cape Town stadium. Dean, Terrance and Damen made up the rest of our little group, and when the match day finally arrived (it felt like forever between getting the tickets and waiting for the actual game day!), it was off to the well-organised train station at Settlers High, and onto the train to Cape Town, before stepping off and heading straight into the bustling stroll through the Cape Town Fan Walk, all the way up to the magnificent, magical stadium itself. The weather itself was unpleasant, a cold biting wind and rain that constantly threatened to come down, but after a fair (and noisy) wait in the security queues to get in, we were finally given the go ahead to stream into the grounds, marvelling at all the sights, sounds and colours that lay before us! Our elevated seats were behind one of the goal posts, so perhaps not the best in the house, but just the experience was enough in any event. Sheltered from the miserable wind, we got to enjoy an engrossing game, vuvuzelas trumpeting and all, the result of which I can no longer actually recall! :) (I think it was a draw to be honest, which would have been much to Terrance’s disgust and my delight!) Anyway, our evening had been a fantastic success, as was the tournament as a whole, and as my memory of the events begins to fade, at least I have these few photos to mark the fact that I was indeed a part of the FIFA World Cup 2010 extravaganza! :) [subvertedgallery link=”file”] Tuesday 27/09/2011 My Lifecape town, cape town stadium, fan walk, fifa world cup, football, italy, paraguay, soccer, south africa, world cup 2010, zakumiCraig Lotter Final FIFA Foursome My Life 14 JUL 2011 So Monday night was our last ever XBOX FIFA Foursome including Mr. Brown, who leaves us in under two weeks’ time. Of course, this meant we had to make it a good one, which of course translates into loads of popcorn and some FIFA of course. After a KFC for supper treat courtesy of Ryan, we arrived back at his pad just in time for the arrival of Mr. Brown and then eventually Dr. Storbeck as we sat down and got to the all important business of discussing Mr. Brown’s upcoming Japanese adventure and setting up the controllers. Oh, and then booting up FIFA as well. To shake things up a bit, we reversed the team-up order and I started the evening partnered up with Karl, where we did fairly well in grabbing two draws (one of which we made the boys play catch up to us in!). However, we did also suffer a slapper of a loss – let us just say that by half time the boys were SERIOUSLY considering applying the mercy rule to us! After a break for some Coke and popcorn, it was back to the lounge where Terrance and I took on Ryan and Karl, who for a change promised Karl right up front that this time around he wouldn’t shout at him too much – and bar only once, he did indeed keep that promise! (That said, it didn’t go well for them, with Ryan only being able to secure a single draw combined with his two losses in their three game outing).

My Life 09 JUL 2011 You might have noticed the lack of what was threatening at one stage to become a regular XBOX FIFA foursome report back feature, and you would be right – They have all of a sudden become scarce. But that’s only because I didn’t get around to blogging about the last one, where in Karl finally managed to end his goal scoring drought, and Terrance claimed the overall top spot, thus distributing the last round of wins evenly between Ryan, Terrance and myself. (Oh, and on the same night I got new contact lenses, grabbed some new manga, had McDonalds for the first time in a very long while, and ate chips instead of popcorn because we forgot to make). However, now that we’ve played three and Mr. Brown is on the cusp of leaving for the Land of the Rising Sun at the end of the month, we can’t just leave it there and as such have organised a fourth and final showdown, giving Dr. Karl one last gasp attempt to secure an evening overall champion title. The date is this coming Monday evening, the venue is Ryan’s pad, and the nourishment shall be popcorn. You have been warned… that next week there’ll be another XBOX FIFA foursome report back. :) Saturday 09/07/2011 My Lifefifa, football, Gaming, karl-heinz storbeck, ryan lotter, terrance brown, xboxCraig Lotter The House of C 022: Giggs Torres Dig! The House of C 29 MAY 2011 Welshman Ryan Giggs, one of the all time British soccer greats, has spent an unprecedented period of time playing for just one league club for just about his entire professional career, namely the Premier League’s Manchester United. A brilliant footballer, Ryan is known as the gentleman of the game, being one of the squeakiest of clean and all round nice guy for years. Until now that would seem. It would appear that Mr. Giggs has taken out a super injunction to block the press from reporting on his long time extra-marital affair with one busty Imogen Thomas, Big Brother reality star and feature for a number of lads’ mags over the last couple of years. Needless to say, this isn’t a good thing for his image, particularly when he found out the hard way that you can’t stop a juicy story from spreading, no matter what legal route you turn to! As for Fernando Torres, let us just say that this highly rated striker has been churning out too many dud seasons as of late. It would seem his ability to find the back of the net has inexplicably deserted him, much to the ire of his once fans… Sunday 29/05/2011 The House of Cbad form, comic, fernando torres, football, house of c, imogen thomas, joke, premier league, ryan giggs, scandal, super injunction, webcomicCraig Lotter Eyeshield 21 (Volume 6) Manga \| My Reviews 09 DEC 2010 Devil Bats Take Flight: Wimpy Sena Kobayakawa has been running away from bullies all his life.

The dawn of the 21st century found the ancient city with a multitude of much-needed changes: a vast new infrastructure system; a sparkling and continuously expanding new Metro and immaculate stations, many of which display the artifacts found during its construction; and a new international airport named one of the world's finest by the International Air Transport Association. The ancient sites have been linked together by a promenade, a unique city boardwalk around classical Athens with antiquities on one side and modern-day sidewalk cafes, galleries, renovated mansions, and rotating outdoor art installations on the other. All in all, 10 miles of downtown Athens's streets have been pedestrianized, transforming the city into a stroller's delight and into a much more charming, accessible, and enjoyable city than before. Pavements have been widened and squares refurbished or redesigned. The capital's coastline has also been revived, with a dizzying selection of cafes, restaurants, and open-air nightclubs by the sea and in marinas; the coast also has a multitude of sporting facilities, pedestrian shopping districts, and pristine beaches -- all a mere tram ride from downtown. As you explore Athens, try to make the city your own. Walk its streets, take in its scents, linger in its sidewalk cafes, squares, and rooftop terraces, take in a show in an ancient open-air theater, or an avant-garde performance, concert, or art exhibition at one of the new multipurpose arts complexes, or enjoy a movie under the stars. Climb its mountains, swim in its waters, visit its ancient temples and Byzantine churches, try its food and its nightlife, and see as many museums as you can. Take a stroll along the Archaeological Promenade, inside the lush National Gardens and Zappeio gardens, through the many neighborhoods and ports, and find yourself at the top of Lycabettus Mountain or Cape Sounion at dusk for two of the most spectacular sunsets outside of Santorini. Explore its ancient districts and its most modern ones to witness an ancient city discovering its modern soul in front of your very eyes. Long after you have gone, you may feel a strange call, a certain nostalgia for something you will not be able to explain at first. You will soon realize it is Athens calling you back like a siren as she has done to so many of us that have tried to leave her. For anybody that has taken the time to truly get to know her, you will find yourself longing to return to her embrace. Exciting and exasperating, ancient and modern, seductive and unforgettable -- welcome to Athens.	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0107.json.gz/line567

The term administrative regulation is a broad term that encompasses many various kinds of law.

A personal paging device comprising a supporting structure, sensing means carried by said structure and responsive to space-transmitted energy for providing an alerting signal comprising a train of regularly spaced electrical pulses, normally inactive vibrator means for vibrating said structure, said vibrator means including an eccentric mass supported for cyclic movement and electric motive means responsive to said alerting signal for driving said mass through a range of vibrational frequencies toward a steady-state frequency, each of said pulses in said alerting signal being of a length to endure for a period of time longer than a cycle of said signal at said steady state frequency of vibration. 2. A personal paging receiver intended to be carried on the clothing of a person, comprising a supporting structure, radio receiver means carried by said supporting structure for providing an alerting signal, a mass, means for constraining said mass to be movable cyclicly in a substantially linear path relative to said structure, electric motive means responsive to an alerting signal received from said radio receiver means for driving said mass in said path, and means coupling said mass to said structure for causing said structure to vibrate when said motive means is activated. 3. A personal paging device, comprising: 4. A device according to claim 3 wherein said electric motive means has rotor means including said mass which is accelerated periodically at said pulse frequency. 5. A device according to claim 3 wherein said mass is accelerated from an initial velocity in a time interval which is short relative to the time required for said mass to decelerate to the initial velocity after a pulse in said alerting signal has ceased. 6. A personal paging receiver, comprising: 7. A device according to claim 6 wherein said electric motive means is an electric motor having rotor means including said mass which is accelerated periodically at said pulse frequency. 8. A device according to claim 7 wherein said mass has an eccentric center of gravity to create said state of imbalance. 9. The apparatus defined by claim 2 wherein said electric motive means includes a solenoid coil for receiving said alerting signal, wherein said mass is composed of a ferromagnetic material and is disposed within said coil, and wherein said means for constraining said mass includes spring means interconnecting said mass and said supporting structure. This invention relates to radio-operated alerting devices, and more particularly to paging receivers of the kind which can be carried on the person of a user. Customarily, such receivers are small enough to fit into a shirt pocket, or to be clipped to the belt holding up a person's trousers. Paging receivers are now in use employing an audible alerting signal. This has disadvantages when the user wants to avoid alerting or disturbing other persons. Substitution or addition of a visual alerting signal (e.g. a flashing light) does not entirely solve the problem, for the attention of the user cannot always be assured, nor can the user be certain to avoid alerting other persons. The present invention solves the problem with a silent and invisible vibratory alerting device, which has unique advantages not afforded by audible or visible alerting signals. According to the present invention a rigid supporting structure, which contains or supports means (e.g. radio receiver) to receive a calling signal and means (e.g. decoder and alerting signal generator) to provide an alerting signal, has affixed to it normally inactive vibrator means for vibrating the structure at a frequency in the subaudible range (e.g. 5 c.p.s. and employs the alerting signal to activate the vibrator means. When the vibrator means is activated the entire structure is set into forced vibration at the subaudible frequency and if it is being carried on the person of a user only the user feels the vibration and, therefore, only the user is alerted to the calling signal. A feature of the invention is that the alerting signal may be in the form of one or more pulses of energy, whereby to accelerate the vibrator means from an inactive state to an active state in a time interval which is short relative to the time required for the vibrator to return to the inactive state. A series of such pulses of energy, temporally spaced apart greater than the pulse duration, causes the alerting device to throb in an attention-commanding manner. If the device rests on the surface of a hard, flat body, such as a table or a desk, the device executes a walking motion across the surface while so throbbing, and simultaneously causes a corresponding throbbing noise by its vibration against the hard surface. Thus, when the device is not worn by its user, it can be employed to give a signal which is both audible and visible simply by placing it on a hard, flat surface. If placed in a confining saucer or ash tray, its vibration against the latter will cause a pronounced throbbing noise while it may or may not be free to move depending upon the nature of its confinement. Several embodiments of the invention are described in this specification, illustrating a variety of preferred ways to practice the invention. The description, which follows, refers to the accompanying drawings, in which: FIG. 1 shows two external views, A and B, of a paging receiver according to the invention; FIG. 1C shows an alternative location for the vibrator means; FIG. 2 is a schematic illustration showing the location of parts in FIG. 1; FIG. 3 is a set of graphs for explaining pulse operation of the invention; FIGS. 4, 5 and 6 schematically illustrate three different forms of vibrator means; and FIG. 7 schematically illustrates another arrangement of the parts in an alerting device according to the invention. Referring now to FIGS. 1A and B and FIG. 2, the alerting device is a paging receiver, comprising a rigid supporting structure 10 (FIG. 2) which supports within its framework 11 the prior art electronic and electromechanical components 12 which perform the radio receiver, filter and decoder, and alerting signal generator functions. Since these are prior art components, they will not be described. Also supported in the structure 10 are a power source (i.e. battery) 13 and an antenna 14. The top part 15 of the structure 10 is also an outer part of the housing of the receiver, and contains a phone jack 16, and a vibrator means 17. As is shown in FIG. 1A and B, a cover 18 fits slidably over the framework 11 to enclose the parts 12, 13 supported in it, and completes the outer housing of the receiver. A clip 19 hinged to the cover 18 is spring-urged as by a spring 21 to hold the receiver in a pocket or to a belt (not shown). The vibrator means 17 may, as shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 4, comprise an electric motor 22 having a rotatable shaft 23 with an eccentrically mounted mass 24 on it. A cover 17.1 covers the mass 24, as it is shown in FIGS. 1A and B and FIG. 2. A pair of wires 25 carry the alerting signal from the alerting signal generator in the parts 12 to the motor 22. The motor is normally at rest; that is, inactive; and it is activated, that is, caused to spin the shaft 23, when the alerting signal is applied to it. When the motor is activated the mass 24 turns on the axis of the shaft 23 and, being eccentrically mounted on the shaft, causes the motor 22 to vibrate at a frequency determined by the speed of rotation. A low frequency, below audible, such as five cycles per second, is a preferred frequency of vibration. This can be felt quite readily. The motor 22 is rigidly engaged with the top part 15 of the structure 10; for example the top part may be of a plastics material and the motor 22 press-fitted into a bore 15.1 in the top part. The structure 10 is thereby forced into vibration at the same low frequency. The same result can be achieved by affixing the vibrator means 17 to the outside of the supporting structure 10, as is shown in FIG. 1C. Here the vibrator means 17 is affixed to the top part 15, electrically connected to the alerting signal generator via the phone jack 16, and held in place by a locating and retaining collar 15.5 which is affixed to the top part 15 of the structure 10. The vibrator means 17 may thus be detachably attached to the structure 10. The alerting signal may be a continuous electrical signal, DC or AC as desired, but advantages can be obtained if it is in the form of a train of pulses, as illustrated in FIG. 3. In addition to conserving battery power, a train of pulses causes the vibrator means to produce a throbbing form of vibration which is attention-commanding and has other advantages. FIG. 3 is a set of three graphs on a time axis. Three alerting signal pulses 31 are shown in a train on the lower axis 32. Each pulse, when applied to the motor 22, causes it to accelerate its shaft 23 into rotation and, when the pulse terminates the shaft decelerates more slowly toward rest. Thus the rotational velocity increases rapidly and decreases slowly, as shown by curve 33 on the middle time axis 34. The acceleration is illustrated by curves 35 on the uppermost time axis 36. Each pulse 31 accelerates the vibrator means from an inactive state to an active state in a time interval T1 which is short relative to the time T2 required for the vibrator means to return to the inactive state after the pulse has ceased. If the pulse duration is about T1 and the time interval between pulses is about T2, then a characteristic throbbing vibration is produced. In addition to commanding attention by virtue of its unique character, this throbbing vibration causes the entire structure 10 to execute a walking like motion, due to the reaction forces developed on the supporting structure 10, when the paging receiver is resting on a hard flat surface. Thus, when the user removes the receiver from his or her person and sets it down on a hard flat surface, a paging signal will cause the receiver to produce a rattling noise in a series of pulses corresponding to the alerting signal pulses 31, and to move in a shuffling manner relative to the surface, the shuffles being stepwise at the frequency of the alerting-signal pulses. If the receiver is "standing, " that is upright on the surface in the attitude of FIG. 1, it may actually appear to shuffle along in a straight or nearly straight line; if it is resting on its side, it may "shuffle" in a curved path. The frequency of the pulses 31 is not to be confused with the frequency of vibration of the vibrator means 17. Each pulse 31 contains at least several cycles of vibration of the vibrator means 17, as will be apparent when it is realized that the motor shaft is preferably brought to rotation at its intended full speed in the time duration T1 of each pulse 31, and then allowed to coast toward rest in the succeeding time interval T2. Alternative forms of the vibrator means 17 are shown in FIGS. 5 and 6. In FIG. 5 a mass 41 of magnetic material such as iron is suspended between two springs 42, 43 which are in turn anchored to the structure 10, and a hollow-core solenoid coil 44 surrounds the mass 41, which at rest may be located nearer to one end of the coil than to the other. The alerting signal (not shown) is applied to the coil 44, which may for this purpose be connected via terminals 45 to the wires 25 carrying the alerting signal. An appropriate alerting signal will set the mass 41 into vibration which will be coupled via the springs 42, 43 to the structure 10. The springs may be chosen to effect a coupling between the mass 41 and the structure 10 such that when a pulse-form alerting signal is used the mass 41 will continue to vibrate for a period of time (T2) larger than the time (T1) duration of the alerting-signal pulse. The alerting signal, whether continuous or in pulse form, may have a frequency corresponding to the resonance frequency of vibration of the mass 41 and its springs 42, 43, or it may be a DC pulse. In FIG. 6 two coils 51 and 52 are located one on each side of a magnetic mass 53 which is mounted at one end of a spring 54, the other end of which is connected to the structure 10. An alerting signal may be connected to the coils 51, 52 to set the mass 53 into vibration and thereby cause the structure 10 to vibrate. It will be apparent that the vibrator means shown in FIGS 4, 5 and 6 have in common the property that each comprises a solid mass (24, 41, 53, respectively) motor means (22, 44 and 51, 52, respectively) to drive said mass cyclically in a prescribed path, and means linking the mass to the structure 10. Other vibrator means having these properties can be employed, if desired. FIG. 7 represents an arrangement of an alerting device according to the invention in which the structure 61 can be in the shape of an elongated (e.g. tubular) body, which is convenient to carry in one's pocket, like a pencil or fountain pen. The structure 61 contains, along its axis, the battery, electronics and vibrator means, as the labels in FIG. 7 show, with the vibrator nearer one end of the elongated body than the other. The antenna 62 for receiving radiobroadcast calling signals, is affixed across one end of the structure 61, where it will be least apt to be covered by clothing material. With the vibrator at one end of an elongated body, a form of vibration which is transverse to the longitudinal axis of the elongated body can force the elongated body correspondingly into vibration transverse to its axis, which will be easily felt and visibly noticeable. If the vibrator means 17 shown in FIG. 4 is used with the shaft 23 parallel to the longitudinal axis of the elongated body, a nutating motion may be induced into the alerting device. Referring again to FIG. 2, the vibrator means 17 need not be located near a corner or side of the structure 10. By rearranging the electronic parts, the vibrator means may be located at or near the geometric center of the structure thereby increasing the ability to cause an entire wide side of the alerting device to vibrate against the body of a user. <- Previous Patent (ALARM) \| Next Patent (ARROW HIT LOCATION I...) ->	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0107.json.gz/line583

__label__cc	0.543145	0.456855	An "x" that disconnects New logo and identity for Dexus by Hulsbosch 13 April 2017 • Logos and identities Logo before and after Dexus (formerly Dexus Property Group) is one of Australia’s leading commercial real estate groups, with a property investment and management portfolio valued at over $22 billion. They invest only in Australia, and primarily own and manage high quality office, industrial and retail properties. Dexus is a Top 50 entity by market capitalisation listed on the Australian Securities Exchange and is supported by 30,000 investors from 20 countries. They were founded in 1984 under the name Deutsche Diversified Trust. Awareness of Dexus was “low” and the brand had been perceived as being “old-fashioned and corporate”. They approached Hulsbosch to shift these perceptions and better communicate their vision of the modern workplace, as they have evolved to become more customer-focused. In the process, they got a new visual identity. The new Dexus brand identity is built from its “Leading by doing” strategic platform. It speaks about their courage to innovate, of simplifying the complex and of being active but not talking about it. Our creative idea had to crossover location borders, ensure adaptability across office, industrial and retail properties, as well as visually bring something different to the business. The fresh look and feel is more user-friendly, future-focused and reflects the notion that Dexus continually brings perspectives together, finding better ways to shape workplaces, now and in the future. – Hulsbosch project page and B&T article New logo detail The old logo looked pretty corporate indeed. The name was set in Helvetica Neue – neutral, rigid – in an extended width. I don’t generally incline to extended width fonts, and the relaxed letter-spacing just bothered me a bit more, because it made the type look stretched (but not totally unsightly). Above the type was – one would assume – an outline of tall buildings, in reference to the high-rise properties that Dexus owns in cities across the country. That element felt quite disconnected from the logo, just a bit too high. (On that note, “Property Group” was also kind of floating away.) I have to mention, too, that the old logo reminded me of the logo for the TV show, Frasier. Now that is how you integrate a city skyline into a logo ;). Overall, the old Dexus logo was nothing special, but it gave the impression of a company that was professional and ready to get down to business. Here’s a video that introduces the new brand. The new logo drops “Property Group” and is set, for the most part, in an unassuming geometric sans-serif (gimme a shout if you can identify it). Seeing that this typeface has subtle rounded corners and that the name is in all-lowercase, it immediately gives the company a friendlier vibe than before. The hook of this logo is the bisected “x” character. I actually kind of like it. Often you see designers tweak characters in logos with a genuine intention to produce something more unique than simply typed text. It’s a delicate operation that involves restraint and starting off with a typeface and series of letters that are conducive to successful customisation. Unfortunately, the result can sometimes look contrived, but that’s not the case here. The two halves, although separate, feel magnetically linked, and stable. And it’s still recognisable as an “x”. Ironically, the division creates the appearance of arrow heads converging, which sort of ties with the notion of “bringing multiple perspectives together” and connecting with customers. A bonus feature of the “x” is that the halves can become parentheses or enclosures for other text (like pull quotes), so that’s kind of neat. I noticed that the two halves also look like wing nuts, which is all the more appropriate for a company that invests in building things. New Dexus logo variants (Source) Accompanying the logotype is a rectangle element that can be filled with different colours. It adds a dynamic aspect to the logo and I suppose is designed to give each property or application its own look. If you look at some of the rectangles in isolation, the colour combinations can be quite unexpected – weird even – but in application they harmonise with surrounding graphics and imagery. Dexus property listing boards (there must be a better name for these things) Dexus business cards I particularly like the logo applied across business cards, as each one is personalised with a unique colour combination. We also get a glimpse of the brand typography; the primary typeface is Gilroy, another geometric sans-serif. It complements the logo and suits headings and short descriptions, but its texture verges on monotony in longer copy (like in this fact sheet). Certainly, when text is broken up into smaller chunks, like in this brochure, it does a better job. Logo for Dexus Place sub-brand using Gilroy Dexus brand colour palette, typography and aspirational fluff In other applications, the coloured rectangles break up into chips or tiles to create a confetti effect, which can fill any manner of bare space. It’s an interesting, logical extension to the identity and looks pleasantly random. My only concern is that this particular effect might be too playful for the brand if overused, but it’s fine in small doses here and there. Dexus glass decal Posters? Overall, this is a great update from Hulsbosch that revitalises what was previously an unremarkable brand identity. The endless permutations of coloured rectangles and their arrangement keeps things fresh and are sure to liven up whatever space they are applied to. It’s an ambitious foundation for a rebrand, and I hope the company can build on it with inventive new applications in the future.

__label__cc	0.602533	0.397467	ESA and industry collaborate to improve rocket fairings ESA / Enabling & Support / Space Transportation Rocket fairings are now lighter, faster to produce and less costly thanks to a manufacturing process adopted by RUAG Space in Switzerland through a partnership with ESA. The fairing protects satellites from the thermal, acoustic and aerodynamic stresses on the ascent to space. The new fairings have already flown on the latest Ariane 5 and Vega missions, and fairings for the future Ariane 6 and Vega‑C vehicles will be produced in the same way. Typically, high performance fibre-polymer composite structures are cured in an autoclave, a large heated container that keeps them under pressure. Autoclaves are expensive and limited in size, so large components are made in segments and then joined together. This constrains the design while increasing weight and the production time. Ariane 5 half fairing ready for the oven ESA and RUAG Space collaborated to establish an out-of-autoclave process where the carbon-fibre shells are cured in an industrial oven instead of an autoclave. This requires less energy and allows the curing of an entire large half-shell in fewer pieces. It reduces cost, saves time and enables production of very large composite panels. Payload fairing shells for Ariane 5 are now made in two panels per half-shell instead of seven. This has reduced the mass of the fairing, which allows a heavier payload to be sent into orbit. Vega fairings compared Vega shells are made in one panel per half-shell instead of two, so no metallic junctions are needed. Fewer parts allow horizontal and vertical assembly of the closed fairing and the launcher, which is particularly important for Ariane 6. “ESA’s public–private partnerships bring technological advances that keep the European launch systems industry competitive globally,” commented Daniel Neuenschwander, ESA Director of Space Transportation. ESA helped to fund development of the fairing through Ariane development and exploitation programmes, as well as through the Future Launchers Preparatory Programme. This involved a commitment to help implement the out-of-autoclave technology on a new production line intended for multi-launcher production. In parallel, RUAG and their industrial partners invested in a new manufacturing site in Emmen, Switzerland, as well as developing the equipment required to produce the payload fairing: oven, mould and inspection systems. RUAG supplies the US with fairings for Atlas rockets and is now setting up a production line in Decatur, USA, using its new manufacturing process to develop new payload fairings, interstage adapters and heatshields for the Atlas and Vulcan rockets. Arianespace, France’s CNES space agency and the launchers’ prime contractors – ArianeGroup and ELV – supported this initiative through engineering activities and technical reviews. This provided transparency to all partners on the new development, ensuring the formal qualification and acceptance of the fairing on the European launchers.

We'll start with the very latest. County Administrator Mike Merrill continues to orchestrate media reporting about the Go Hillsborough crony mess he helped create. We still find it odd that he asked for a Sheriff's investigation for events he caused and occurred on his watch. Apparently Merrill's original talking points he handed the Tribune weren't clear or correct causing the Tribune to make a major update to their online version to their story Sheriff finishing Go Hillsborough probe, release set next month. The Tribune first reported that the investigation was complete as if all nicely tied up in a package ready to be released but then they had to make an update (emphasis mine). County Administrator Mike Merrill, in an e-mail Tuesday afternoon, told county commissioners the investigation was complete. He later sent an e-mail to the Tribune clarifying that only “field work” is done, including interviews and document analysis. “Technically, the investigation is ongoing until the sheriff issues the final report,” Merrill said How did Merrill leave out that important information to begin with? Perhaps he's in over his head. Did the Tribune finally contact a HCSO spokesman instead of relying on Merrill's talking points? Sheriff’s spokesman Larry McKinnon said once all parts of the investigation are wrapped up, a copy of the final report will be sent to the State Attorney’s Office for final review. “We will notify the public and media via a press release when the investigation is completed and finalized by the SAO,” McKinnon said in an e-mail. The Tribune reports what we have been saying from the start - the transportation initiative was always about pushing another huge sales tax hike: The group [Policy Leadership Group] has been meeting for two years, trying to develop a comprehensive transportation plan that voters would support with a half-cent-per-dollar sales tax increase. Moving on to other recent media attention of our transportation issue. On December 25 it was reported by the Tribune that Florida has 1000 people a day coming to Florida and most will be bringing their cars. That influx is not expected to slow down anytime soon with the state’s population predicted to rise to 26 million by 2030, according to the Bureau of Economic and Business Research at the University of Florida. The Eye posted a response here. The vast majority of the new arrivals will be arriving by car, will continue to use their car in their daily. This growth is the driving reason why we must fix our roads now! Many of the new arrivals will be baby boomers, seeking to retiree in the sunshine the rest of us have enjoyed for many years. But keep in mind where many are coming from, and why they are coming here. They are not coming here to replicate the experiences they had in the past. They want our lifestyle - sun, fun, affordable living and freedom and ease of getting around town and the state. The estimated 600K new residents moving to Hillsborough County by 2040 will not be heading to downtown Tampa. The urban core of Tampa is only estimated to grow about 20K by 2040. Tuesday the Tribune reported that 2 downtown groups sent letters (coincidentally on the very same day) to our county commissioners in support of the Go Hillsborough plan. Without a better transportation system, tourism in the Tampa area is likely to shrink from its current record levels and the region will lose its capacity to draw businesses to the urban core, according to two groups that promote economic development. Both Visit Tampa Bay and the Tampa Downtown Partnership sent letters Dec. 18 to the Hillsborough County commission supporting Go Hillsborough, an initiative designed to raise millions of dollars for an improved transportation system. They could not even wait until the results of the law enforcement investigation was released. We assume they don't care or what do they know that we don't? A copy of the letter from the Downtown Partnership to Commissioner Victor Crist was conveniently included in taxpayer funded TBARTA's recent newsletter. Coordination and collusion among taxpayer funded entities and special interests are standard operating tactics for pushing sales tax hike referendums. This letter was dated December 15 not December 18th. We don't know if the Downtown Partnership sent Crist a separate lobbying letter than what the Tribune reported was sent to the rest of the commissioners. The letter can be found here and this statement is interesting. We have attempted to position the TECO Line Streetcar's potential to be the starter system of a more regional rail system. Letter from Downtown Partnership to Commissioner Crist Regional rail is the real goal. Ever hear much from the taxpayer funded entities being champions for funding our local roads? That has too much common sense because 98% of us use our roads everyday. Roads aren't sexy or a high cost shiny new object. The Tribune even asked the County Attorney to weigh in on the legality of these 2 entities endorsing Go Hillsborough since they receive public funds. As long as there is no referendum on a ballot, neither agency is prohibited from advocating for a better transportation network, County Attorney Chip Fletcher said. But one Florida statute does prohibit groups receiving government funds from advocating for a specific referendum; Fletcher said he doesn’t know whether that law would apply once a local transportation referendum is placed on the ballot. The Tribune called to ask if I had an issue with these taxpayer funded entities supporting Go Hillsborough. I had to chuckle and ask the reporter whether she was surprised as I certainly was not. The bigger issue I told the Tribune reporter that was unfortunately totally ignored is our State electioneering laws are so broad a MAC truck could drive through them with no stiff penalties or consequences if violated. Our electioneering laws must be strengthened to clearly and concisely prevent taxpayer funded entities from using taxpayer funded resources and influence against the taxpayer. Real consequences and hefty penalties must be included if violations occur. Where was the Tribune in 2010 and 2014 asking these questions? Every taxpayer funded entity in the Tampa Bay area came out supporting the 2010 Hillsborough and 2014 Pinellas sales tax hikes. We witnessed some taxpayer funded entities in 2010 spend (and waste) lots of taxpayer money attempting to sell voters to support the tax hike. These 2 Tribune articles seem a bit schizophrenic. We are first told our state and the Tampa Bay area is growing in leaps and bounds with no end in sight and our tourism is booming because people and businesses want to move here and visit here. Then we are told 2 downtown groups support Go Hillsborough because without it our tourism will fall and businesses won't come here. Which is it? See the Eye's post here regarding Tuesday's Tribune article. Visit Tampa Bay's own website has this December 9, 2015 article Tampa Bay tourism revenues soar nearly 20 percent in October. We're leading our competitors, even Orlando, in hotel occupancy and profitability. The letter also stated “Every day Hillsborough County delays improvements to its transportation network, we fall farther behind our competitors,” the letter says. Just last December Visit Tampa Bay's CEO changed hands. The Times wrote an article about the departing CEO and reported. …the county set a new bed tax record as the industry rebounded from the recession; Nowhere does Visit Tampa Bay state our competitors are NYC, DC, Boston and Europe. Comparing Hillsborough to NYC, DC, Boston and Europe is ridiculous. People are fleeing those areas to move here. Visit Tampa Bay needs a reality check. The new CEO Santiago Corrado was chief of staff to Mayors Iorio and Buckhorn, both big rail cheerleaders, before taking the position with Visit Tampa Bay. Buckhorn has ridden the coattails of the $1.3 million county funded Go Hillsborough sales tax hike proposal to fund his rail projects without the city of Tampa paying a dime for the effort. Corrado is also on the Board of the Downtown Partnership so it's no surprise that Corrado and his agency support Go Hillsborough. The Tribune reports this from special interests Tampa Downtown Partnership Businesses considering a move to Tampa want to see a transportation system in place to get their employees to work on time and to and from the downtown district, said Christine Burdick, president of the Tampa Downtown Partnership. Without offering those options, the county is at a disadvantage in drawing new businesses, she said. We have multiple dispersed work centers, USF, Brandon, Westshore, MacDill and a very small downtown business district, smaller than Charlotte's. Go Hillsborough's costly rail plans to expand and transform the (bankrupted) streetcar into light rail and build a rail from the airport to downtown does nothing to relieve congestion for commuters going to work. Downtown Partnership's Burdick also says this “We are acknowledging the amount of time and consideration and effort that went in to Go Hillsborough to date and the county commission needs to let the public have a say in this and take a step that will help,” Burdick said. “For corporate headquarters or other installations considering a move here, it is really important that we appear to be addressing our transportation issues.” (emphasis mine) Do we want this county to "appear to be addressing our transportation issues" or actually doing something about it? Yes - we all agree the status quo is unacceptable. The county commissioners have within their own powers the ability to start funding our roads and transportation needs now. It would be refreshing for once to hear the business community demand fiscal responsibility and due diligence from our county commissioners to appropriately fund our county's highest priorities that includes our roads and infrastructure first. Isn't that how they run their own businesses and personal lives? As far as the old retread argument from 2010 to let the public have a say - the voting public already did. They overwhelmingly voted NO in 2010 to another huge 30 year sales tax hike. According to the Downtown Partnership website, before Burdick moved to Tampa to become President of the Downtown Partnership in 2002, she worked for Chicago's Mayor Daley. Google Mayor Daley….Daly loved spending taxpayer money as he went into office in 1989 with budget surpluses and left 22 years later leaving Chicago with massive structural deficits. The Chicago way is not a model to follow. Again the Tribune admits the sales tax hike was baked into the Go Hillsborough campaign all along: For nearly two years, the county staff has held meetings with the public to get input on the improvements people want to see in transportation. The initial concept was to fund improvements with a voter-approved increase of up to one cent on the dollar in the county sales tax. The county wasted all this time and $1.3 million of taxpayer money enriching cronies to tell us the answer they had already decided. Almost 2 years later and nothing has been done to fund our local roads that are literally crumbling and becoming safety hazards. The taxpayers paid the hefty price and ended up with a law enforcement investigation. But hold onto your wallets because the schizophrenic feeding frenzy for another huge 30 years sales tax hike has begun - again.

__label__wiki	0.620239	0.620239	The ‘Impact Guy’ James Sayno Director of Talent Development United States Olympic Committee, Colorado Springs, Greatest Challenge: Breaking into human resources via a nontraditional, non-HR route with a background in financial services, insurance and consulting, thereby facing a significant and immediate learning curve. Greatest Achievement: Helping to rebuild a nascent HR department into a trusted, impactful and service-oriented organization. When James Sayno was a senior in high school in Colorado Springs, he took a course in economics that, in essence, helped guide the rest of his life. Already equipped with a keen intellect, based on the “superior education” he says he received living in the Philippines for most of his youth, “that one economics class really tilted my way of viewing human behavior,” says the 38-year-old director of talent development and rewards for the United States Olympic Committee. “In economics, there are models of human behaviors,” says Sayno, who began his career in the financial-services and insurance industry at age 17, working after school. “I learned in that course how people don’t conform to models, yet there is still interplay between people’s behaviors and the systems we set up. So financial incentives, for instance, do actually work, but maybe not in the way we thought they would.” Those lessons sparked an interest in change-management projects—an interest he took with him in 2006 to Deloitte Consulting’s San Francisco office, where he would work for the next four years as a human capital consultant before returning to Colorado to be closer to his wife, Danielle, and then-1-year-old son, Randkai (who, now 5, is a big brother to Royce, 1) and become what he describes as “an impact guy” for the USOC. And impact he’s certainly had. Answering a long-time need at the USOC to help Olympic and Paralympic athletes past their primes find a gateway to a different successful career, he worked with sponsor DeVry University to create and lead a scholarship program—the Academic Performance Program—that has awarded more than $1 million to deserving recipients (the program now has 140 participants) to help them get the education they need to start a new career. Also after coming to the USOC, Sayno quickly recognized its internal training function was sorely lacking, particularly in bolstering managers’ basic business skills such as developing business cases, Team USA Academy of Learning and Leadership, which has not only transformed internal business acumen, but also serves big-name-company clients as part of a partnership with The Conference Board. “Five years before I got here, I can safely say our managers had not had any training in five years to gain in executive disciplines,” Sayno says. Yet now, training at the USOC is so successful, “we’ve rebranded the corporate university ... and we’re sending that Olympic spirit back to the business world. “But what’s even more exciting and satisfying to me,” he says, “are the internal successes, seeing managers gain confidence and expertise in the types of things that make them effective at their jobs. Those daily gains, being able to articulate their gains and goals and accomplishments better ... those are what I’m truly proud of.” In each of his endeavors, Sayno never once was slowed by his lack of experience in HR or a particular discipline within the profession. The project guy from Deloitte simply formed the right teams, through careful scrutiny and selection, to address subject-matter needs, he says, but also bring in additional skills and expertise in keeping with the needs of a professional team. The learning curve as he shifted to HR was challenging, though. “I needed to create a compelling narrative about parallel and complementary experiences that made me suited for my [new] role,” Sayno says. “For example, my training and development experiences [had to feed into my] organizational- development role [and] my change- management experience [would have to be called on to] help me build and implement successful HR programs.” Personally, he often seeks learning opportunities outside the organization that can help him enhance his skills. Early in his career, in 2005, while working at the California Casualty Management Co. in Colorado Spring, he recognized he needed more advanced business schooling to be able to guide others through the training-and-development trajectory he envisioned himself on. So he enrolled at the Thunderbird School of Global Management and earned an M.B.A. in global business. He’s also a fourth-degree black belt in Kempo Karate, which enhances his focus and discipline, and strengthens his “ability to influence others,” he says. Members of the HR’s Rising Stars judging panel as well as Sayno’s own supervisor, Pam Sawyer, managing director of human resources, point out that achieving anything in the intense USOC environment is to be commended. “The sports industry is very relationship- and performance- oriented, and a high percentage of our staff are active athletes or sports aficionados outside of the office,” says Sawyer. “James [has been able to] apply this cultural knowledge, strong interpersonal skills, desire to see others succeed ... and daily inspiration from elite athletes ... to perform, himself, at a high level on a daily basis.” —Kristen B. Frasch With a background in finance and consulting, James Sayno has been able to build his own HR skills while enhancing others’ to bring some needed changes to the USOC.	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0107.json.gz/line613

The exciting news is, the Tenth Anniversary Voyage of HRH Prog is just about to launch to repeat the format next October with a spectacular line up. The legendary Colosseum will headline the tenth HRH Prog experience. Formed in 1968, the 6-piece progressive jazz-rock fusion pioneers will give us a masterclass in musicianship and creativity that will fit perfectly in the impressive surroundings of the Shepherds Bush Empire in London. With the full lineup also heading to Sheffield, there’s really no excuse to miss this incredible opportunity to see this truly pioneering band perform. Mostly Autumn bring their own unique blend of progressive folk-rock to London and Sheffield next October, celebrating 25 years as a major force in British rock music. Their latest release, “White Rainbow”, came out earlier this year to critical acclaim. Another 6-piece announced for HRH Prog X are progressive metallers Threshold. The popular Brits will be in their 5th decade of making high-intensity music having first released material back in 1988, with their career encompassing 11 studio albums and 6 live albums. At HRH Prog VII The Crazy World of Arthur Brown blew us all away with a show full of showmanship, charisma and no lack of humour. We can’t wait to welcome Arthur and his crew back to HRH Prog, this time gracing the incredible stages of the Shepherd’s Bush Empire and the O2 Academy in Sheffield. Atomic Rooster carved a niche for themselves in the 70s and early 80s with their heavy brand of progressive rock. They reformed in 2016 with early members Pete French and Steve “Boltz” Bolton leading the way. Although still producing new music, the band don’t play often, so this will be a rare chance to see a genuine legend of rock music next October. Joining these 5 iconic bands are Moon Safari, Magenta, Lifesigns, Gandalf’s Fist, MonkeyTrial, Hats Off Gentlemen It’s Adequate, Sonic Trip Project and Tiger Moth Tales. For HRH Prog X in October 2020 we are taking advantage of repeating what we did this October with a very special 2-day show at the O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire in London & the O2 Academy Sheffield on the same weekend reversing line ups. Both iconic venues will be transformed into a new adventure to celebrate the 10th Anniversary Voyage. HRH Prog X will take place at the beautiful Shepherd’s Bush Empire and legendary O2 Academy Sheffield on the 17th & 18th October 2020.

While I think Musk is a genius, I don’t think SolarCity deserves a premium valuation just because of him. SolarCity’s growing losses paint a grim picture of the company’s future, and I don’t think even Musk can prevent the stock from going lower. The solar industry is a very volatile space. Readers who have been following my articles know that I never suggest buying highly-leveraged companies in the solar sector. Especially after the bankruptcy of SunEdison, I think investors should be more cautious when picking a stock in the solar industry. Due to the extreme volatility, I only like companies that have a proven record of profitability, which is why I am not a big fan of SolarCity. Although SolarCity’s sales have grown at a rapid pace, the company has burned through hundreds of millions of dollars of cash and does so every year. SolarCity reported its first quarter earnings earlier this week and missed the EPS estimate. What’s worse is SolarCity’s guidance was also very weak as it expects wider losses and slower growth in the next quarter. Clearly, SolarCity is heading down the wrong road as it cannot continue burning through cash forever. For investors who are not familiar with SolarCity’s business model, a potential customer who wants to have a solar panel installed needs to sign a 20-year lease with SolarCity on a fixed, growing price schedule. Hence, by locking in a client, SolarCity is creating a revenue stream for over 20 years. 20 years of consistent revenue may seem like a great business model, but there’s more to it. SolarCity’s towering interest expense takes up a massive portion of its gross profit, thereby making the business unsustainable. Even if SolarCity was to shut down all of its operation tomorrow, thereby generating pure profits from its existing clients, it would still not be profitable due to the interest expenses. I don’t see how Musk can turn around the sinking ship. Musk has been wrong about SolarCity in the past as he increased his position in the company by buying more shares the last time they crashed after weak Q4 earnings, and I don’t expect him to turn this around. I don’t like SolarCity’s stock, however, I would strongly advise investors against buying the stock just because of Elon Musk.

Group B coxsackieviruses cause hand-foot-and-mouth disease and herpangina. Recently, enterovirus and Coxsackie A6 virus induced severe mucocutaneous reactions resembling drug-induced Stevens–Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN), both clinically and histopathologically, have been reported.[1],[2] Here, we report the first case of coxsackievirus B5–induced severe mucocutaneous reaction mimicking drug-induced SJS/TEN. A 12-year-old apparently healthy boy presented to our emergency department with a 2-day history of generalized skin rashes. It was preceeded by fever and rhinorrhea since last 6 days. Congested/painful eyes and multiple buccal ulcers developed subsequently. He was initially diagnosed with herpangina. However, maculopapular rashes developed on his trunk, with rapid progression to extremities and face. He reported past treatment with ibuprofen, acetaminophen, dextromethorphan, diclofenac, cephalexin and sulfamethoxazole eye drops, without any appreciable benefit. Initially, ibuprofen, diclofenac, and cephalexin were suspected to be the culprit agents for suspected drug eruptions. However, absence of similar symptoms during previous treatment with these drugs refuted our suspicion. Physical examination revealed widespread, dusky-red, purpuric, maculopapular rashes with vesicles on the face, trunk, extremities, palms, and soles [Figure 1]; conjunctival hyperemia with purulent discharge resulting in eyelid adhesion [Figure 2]a; ulcers on his buccal mucosa and hard palate; and crusted hemorrhagic erosions on the lips [Figure 2]b, scrotum, and glans penis. Hair and nails were spared. Initial differential diagnoses included drug-induced SJS/TEN, Mycoplasma pneumoniae–induced rash and mucositis, erythema multiforme major, and atypical hand-foot-and-mouth disease. Figure 1: Widespread, dusky-red, purpuric maculopapular rashes with confluence and vesicles on the trunk Laboratory investigations revealed elevated c-reactive protein level (22.4 mg/dL) without leukocytosis, anemia, thrombocytopenia, or abnormal creatinine level. Types 1 and 2 herpes simplex virus IgG and IgM were both negative. Mycoplasma pneumoniae antibody and IgM analysis were equivocal. We administered cefazolin and methylprednisolone after admission resulting in dusky discolouration of skin and gradual desquamation. Notably, ciliary loss, severe purulent conjunctivitis, synechiae due to pseudomembrane formation and corneal scarring were observed. Prednisolone, levofloxacin, and cyclosporine eye drops were administered, along with mechanical removal of the pseudomembrane. Skin biopsy demonstrated subepidermal blisters, vacuolar degeneration of the basal layer, scattered necrotic and apoptotic keratinocytes, and perivascular lymphohistiocytic and eosinophilic infiltration in the dermis. These findings are consistent with both enterovirus-induced severe mucocutaneous reactions and drug-induced SJS/TEN. However, neutrophil-rich intraepidermal infiltration in our case narrowed the diagnosis to enterovirus-induced severe mucocutaneous reactions.[2],[3] Blood, wound, and throat swab cultures were unremarkable. The patient recovered well and was discharged after 20 days. One week after discharge, the patient presented to us with mild cutaneous hyperpigmentation and onychomadesis involving all the 10 nails. One month later, the patient was diagnosed with coxsackievirus B5–induced severe mucocutaneous reaction, corroborated by the presence of coxsackievirus B5 in throat swab viral culture. Meanwhile, a lymphocyte transformation test measuring T-cell proliferation against drugsin vitro was performed. The results were negative for acetaminophen, diclofenac, ibuprofen, cephalexin, and trimethoprim–sulfamethoxazole, which greatly reduced the probability of drug-induced SJS/TEN. However, lymphocyte transformation test has limited sensitivity of 60%–70% and specificity of at least 85%.[4] Our case demonstrates the etiological role of coxsackievirus B5 in severe mucocutaneous reactions resembling drug-induced SJS/TEN. Notably, mucosal involvement is a cardinal symptom of drug-induced SJS/TEN. In contrast, ocular and genital mucous involvement is rarely observed in enterovirus infection. Moreover, in severe drug-induced SJS/TEN cases, ocular pseudomembrane formation and corneal scarring may occur, as observed in the present case.[3] Interestingly, similar severe ocular involvement has not been observed in coxsackievirus A6–induced severe mucocutaneous reactions.[1],[2] Cutaneous manifestations of enterovirus-induced severe mucocutaneous reactions and drug-induced SJS/TEN may range from maculopapules and vesicles to erosions. However, drug-induced SJS/TEN is characterized by target-like lesions, which were absent in the present case.[1],[2],[3] Complex interactions between viral infections and drug allergy have been observed in some clinical senarios. For example, extensive maculopapular rashes develop in patients with infectious mononucleosis after treatment with ampicillin. Nervertheless, similar viral–drug interaction has not yet been reported in coxsackievirus infection.[5] To conclude, we report an unusual case illustrating the potential of coxsackievirus B5 to induce clinical symptoms that closely resemble drug-induced SJS/TEN. Thus, we should maintain a high index of suspicion for enterovirus infection while evaluating patients with severe mucocutaneous symptoms. The authors certify that they have obtained all appropriate patient consent forms. In the form, the patient has given his consent for his images and other clinical information to be reported in the journal. The patient understand that name and initials will not be published and due efforts will be made to conceal identity, but anonymity cannot be guaranteed.

__label__cc	0.727041	0.272959	Nature Sex is Where it's At For a while now I've had experiences of my gender polarity switching or shifting around - identifying more as masculine or feminine, being more attracted to women (ok that one's fairly consistent ) or men... But lately I've been feeling species switching, in terms of how I experience my body and consciousness. I suppose this is part of being a shapeshifter, but most strong for me lately has been feeling like a flower. Feeling like a female flower, and really tuning in to how flowers pollinate and attract pollinators (almost like cross-species sexual mating, or a beautiful symbiosis and transparent offering up of life force). Walking around the streets of Berkeley where there are many lovely diverse flowering plants, admiring the many forms and colors and smells. So amazing! Also, I've been experiencing my body as a reptile's. They are so fascinating, how they move - helps me get my brain out of the way and be more tactile. Presenters Announced for HiveMind Forum, Berkeley March 15 Presenters announced for Saturday's HiveMind Forum, should be a juicy day of alternative economy demos and community connection. You can see a pretty layout of their descriptions and bios here: http://www.evolverbayarea.com/next-hivemind.html and RSVP on facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/events/645452388849623/ We still need volunteers for the day of, email evolversf@gmail.com if you'd like to help in exchange for attendance, thanks! Imagination Healing Circles Start March 12 Using the Imagination Healing toolkit, we will explore the imagination and learn to heal ourselves through play. We'll play group games such as round-robin storytelling, guided visualization, rites of passage, call and response vocal noises, and shamanic journeywork with trance drumming. Play-act as a different creature, or an aspect of yourself you don't often have the chance to express. Become a child once again and reclaim your power to create the world you truly want to live in. Basic art supplies will be available, and you are welcome to bring your own. Please bring music you'd like to share as well - we can all DJ. This class was developed to provide a participatory, collectively-held container for waking up our extended creative capacities. This is a safe space for you to explore. $20/class Split evenly between Magenta and the Urban Temple Upcoming classes: March 12, 19 & 26 Facilitator: Magenta, Imagination Healer. Magenta teaches magic and ecological awareness. Her background is in cognitive science, philosophy of language, and artificial intelligence. She is the executive director of The Evolver Network, a collective marketing strategist, artist and musician. She believes in humankind's ability to create a society that is just, sustainable, and truly liberated.

Please support their indiegogo campaign to get this center for alternative and metaphysical healing arts on its feet: http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/the-urban-temple/x/6535043 Plants are People Too I've been having an increased awareness of how plants around me are living conscious things like me. There are many diverse plants around Berkeley in people's yards, so it's fun. It's a big shift in perspective - similar to how if you're on the street observing and listening to the people around you, noticing their movements, the way they speak, how they are feeling. I hope more people tune in to this reality, because coming out of a human-centric paradigm into one where you know that all life, even stones, are "people", too, makes it easier to live a lifestyle that respects the well being and integrity of the luscious diverse organic life system we are but a part of. While searching for an image to illustrate this post, I found this awesome website on the nature of intelligence - http://jonlieffmd.com/blog/intelligent-plants-use-proteins-and-rna-to-fight-invaders Physicists plan to wipe out Earth's Van Allen Belts with radio waves Link - Geek.com article on silencing Earth's Van Allen Belts This article says a lot about... I almost typed "the people..." but, this kind of blatant lack of understanding of subtle physics can only come from people trained out of their natural intelligence of what is important and sacred about the world. The Van Allen belts are communication belts you dolts. We have planetary telepathy without the internet, and we can "travel" without use of cars, oil mined from the earth and spilled over rainforest, or asphalt paved over beautiful landscapes. I look forward to more indigenous wisdom being shared and given credit as valid science. Quite the opposite of primitive, native peoples understand our oneness with the earth body, and many have traditions of incredibly sophisticated travel (for example how to travel ocean currents), astronomy understanding, and nature's innate supertechnology. That said, I love "western science" and feel it's a valid way of exploring the world, but it must be done with an openness to it not being the only worldview, and with an understanding of the puppetmasters pulling the strings of its funding, its education, and its often profit-driven motives	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0107.json.gz/line629

__label__wiki	0.54154	0.54154	Jacob's Blog Living in the Future: Startup Ideas Posted on March 26, 2013 by jacob As of yesterday I’m working full time on Cumulonimbus, my weather data startup that’s seen fantastic growth and media attention recently. We’re collecting about 300,000 atmospheric pressure measurements per day from Android devices with pressureNET and intend to use the data to improve short term severe weather forecasts. I’m currently focused on Cumulonimbus (product development, growth, and looking for funding!) but I have a lot of ideas for future startups. What do you think? 1. Autonomous air delivery Build a fleet of small solar-powered airplanes and helicopters that will make long-distance air deliveries autonomously. Monetize by offering lower rates for package delivery; a lower cost structure should exist for the delivery network if the transportation uses no fuel and has little human involvement. This is a very difficult problem but fast progress is being made in the autonomous flight of small vehicles. The initial work for this startup should probably start in 2014 and it should go to market in 2017-2018. At that time, much of the lower-level functions and engineering problems will be solved and the business can focus on optimizing. There are already some existing projects in this space; very interesting ones are Tacocopter and Blizzard (pdf). Recently a Star Trek Into Darkness promotion involved networked, coordinated hovering quadrocopters forming an emblem in the sky. I see two ways to get this off the ground: The first is to test an expensive, beautiful small package delivery in a single area. Make the service very sleek and charge a high price at first, then refine the technology, and expand reach and scale to a global package delivery service. The initial package delivery could be a document courier: to send a small document, request a pickup from a quadrocopter and it will notify you when to come outside for document attachment. Attach the package and it will fly to its destination, where the package drop could include a dramatic parachute from a small height, or a direct package landing in the recipient’s hands from feet above. Most vehicles should be able to land in order for calm deliveries and package attachment. The second way to get this started is to deliver medicine and lightweight aid to remote locations. Set up an office in a big city of a developing country and fly to remote areas with medicine or other lightweight packages like e-readers. Expand to neighboring countries targeting global reach. The initial approach of sending small aid packages to remote areas is exciting because this is normally accomplished with significant human involvement which is often dangerous. Dropping aid from small autonomous flying robots could immensely reduce the costs currently associated with remote aid distribution. 2. Autonomous flying atmosphere sensors Build the same fleet of aircraft I just described but pack them with weather sensors and send them away from people. This fleet would gather and send live atmosphere data from over the oceans and remote land areas. This would be an excellent extension to pressureNET and it may even be in Cumulonimbus’ future. However, it is a very different undertaking than a smartphone network so we’re not working on it just yet. This should also be done parallel and integrated with the autonomous air delivery system described above. There are many paths to monetization, such as early and accurate warning systems for tropical storms. Additionally, the data could be made completely open, so that other innovations could arise from researchers and engineers everywhere. I think that in the future it may be possible for extremely large swarms of autonomous, solar powered airplanes and helicopters may be sent to forming storms to alter their formation and gently nudge them away from populated areas or towards wind farms built for tropical storm speed winds. 3. Improve Collaborative Document Editing Compete with Google Drive. Drive is close to my ideal productivity suite but it has major flaws that annoy me on a daily basis. Primarily, I have issues with the current offline model and the poor state of mobile document editing. Is Google actively improving and working on these issues? Or will years pass where Google rides on their excellent real-time collaboration features and makes few changes? I’d also like to experiment with building a git UI into document editing. A large flaw in current Drive workflow is the primitive revision history view and no real branching mechanism. I also think that there may be a very important hardware decision to make in this process. Form factors are changing rapidly and it may be the case that a certain form factor is found to be the best. I’m writing this blog post on my Xoom tablet, with the wireless bluetooth keyboard, using Google Drive on Android. I’m distinctly aware of the software annoyances and what I want to fix, but hardware-wise I’m not sure where to begin. Having a separate screen and keyboard is pretty fantastic and allows for a lot of flexibility, but sure it’s not the best possible solution to mobile document editing from a hardware perspective. What else can be improved? Are those improvements specific to writing and editing documents or can they be ported elsewhere? 4. Galactic Exploration Game I’ve wanted to play a very specific game for long time but I’ve never been satisfied with anything that’s been made. It looks like I’ll have to make it myself: Build a multiplayer online game about space exploration. The game scales from single player to an entire galaxy of inhabited star systems played by millions of people. Each player begins on an Earth-like planet as an alien intelligence. Initially most players are separated a few star systems apart. Players grow their civilization, starting on a single planet and expanding into rest of their system if they choose. Gameplay would involve creating a growing civilization by good management, learning about the cosmos, and examining the morality of species expansion among other things. This exploration continues into star systems nearby the origin planet by building fast ships, at which point civilizations will interact as they encounter each other. Civilizations may interact far sooner, in fact, if they choose to build powerful telescopes and communicate by radio early in the game. Each player would experience a First Contact moment – if they’re listening. I expect to see a pattern in the livelihood of civilizations when they choose to explore compared to when they do not. Additionally, poor resource management will result in unstable civilizations who will have to make careful decisions in order to survive. To take this further, I’d envision that a player ought to only play once: if their civilization is wiped out, they’re not welcome in that galaxy any more. Increased connection with reality is a bonus: early-stage gameplay could model optimistic predictions about human reality in the near future. For example, poor decisions may lead to complex and out-of-control global climate change; asteroid mining projects may be the most likely route for players to take in starting their space exploration; unexpected events occur especially for the under-prepared civilizations. Galactic simulation takes place on servers running open source galaxy simulation code. Star systems are procedurally generated and created on-the-fly. The game could be set in the Milky Way Galaxy but significantly far from Earth. This would allow for the procedural generation of early planets to meld with real science data about extrasolar planets, though only if the game grew sufficiently large as to intersect the areas that we have mapped in detail. This game must be free and open source to build a community and allow for organic growth. This could be monetized by charging for next-level graphics and simulations. The core game and logic will be free and open source and free to play and modify forever. MVP with minimal graphics and build them out from there, always charging a premium to access the next-level graphical appearance. 5. Mobile IDE I’m really excited about Android IDE (AIDE) and LightTable because of their fantastic ideas and excellent execution. Those projects make me optimistic about the future of the user experience of software development but there are lots of ideas left unexplored so far. Similar to the ideas above about collaborative document editing, I wonder if there will be a convergence of form factors towards something we agree as ideal? What would this look like, and what would it mean for the software? What kind of code editing can be done in an extremely mobile environment? There are certainly some coding shortcuts that we can create to enable faster mobile development. In the near future, smart watches, glasses, etc will be gaining traction and combining these with minimal artificial intelligence constructs, I think that the software development experience could be radically altered to focus more on hard problems and less on typing code. There’s also Google’s new language Go. I recently attended an introductory talk on Go at Google in Montreal and I’m now very interested. Since the language is so new it would be excellent to begin testing and prototyping mobile-focused IDEs for Go. Focus must also include collaborative code editing, perhaps with new additions to a git-like ecosystem for real-time tracking of code. This entry was posted in Technology by jacob.

It’s always awesome to see people starting something they’re passionate about. The things that small, autonomous flying robots will usher in is going to be really interesting to see. What if a network of flying robots could provide a steady connection for satellite connections, no matter the weather? Satellite TV and phones would be able to guarantee reliable service, instead of the current situation. It may not be that big of a problem, and ultimately wireless telecommunications are probably going to win out. Looking forward to continued updates about your startup!

__label__wiki	0.663485	0.663485	Cytomorphological spectrum of Hashimoto's thyroiditis and its correlation with hormonal profile and hematological parameters Archana Shetty, Vijaya Chowdappa Department of Pathology, Sapthagiri Institute of Medical Sciences, Bangalore, Karnataka, India Dr. Vijaya Chowdappa Department of Pathology, Sapthagiri Institute of Medical Sciences, Hesaraghatta Main Road, Bangalore – 560 090, Karnataka Introduction: Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) is a well-known autoimmune disorder of the thyroid diagnosed on fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) and a common cause of hypothyroidism in women. Often serological and hematological parameters are additional investigations aiding the diagnosis of this entity. Aim: To grade HT based on cytomorphology and to correlate the cytological grades with thyroid hormone status and basic hematological parameters. Materials and Methods: During a period of 2.5 years, 1762 patients underwent FNAC of thyroid at our tertiary healthcare center. Cytological evidence of lymphocytic thyroiditis was seen in 102 cases, of which 58 cases in addition had thyroid hormone levels and hematological parameters for correlation. Results: Of the 58 cases, 55 were females. Majority of the patients had grade II thyroiditis (56.9%), followed by grade I (34.5%) and grade III (8.6%). Elevated thyroid-stimulating hormone was seen in 74.2% of cases, with 39.7% of patients presenting with subclinical hypothyroidism and 18.9% being euthyroid. Mean hemoglobin was low in all grades, more so in hypothyroid state, while other hematological parameters were normal when correlated with grade and hormonal status without any significant P value. Conclusion: Cytomorphological grading of HT can explain the pathogenesis of this autoimmune disease. Subclinical hypothyroidism was significantly observed. There was no significant statistical correlation of cytological grades with thyroid status. In this study, most of the hypothyroid cases had low hemoglobin levels while other basic hematological parameters did not show any statistically significant correlation with the thyroid hormonal status.

Cytomorphological spectrum of Hashimoto's thyroiditis and its correlation with hormonal profile and hematological parameters. J Cytol [serial online] 2019 [cited 2020 Jan 21 ];36:137-141 Available from: http://www.jcytol.org/text.asp?2019/36/3/137/259975 Thyroid diseases are among the most common endocrine disorders worldwide. Data on various studies on thyroid diseases have shown that an estimated 42 million people in India suffer from thyroid diseases.[1] This article focuses on Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT), a synonym for chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis; an entity that was described for the first time by Hakaru Hashimoto in 1912.[2] It is a well-known autoimmune disorder and the second most common lesion of the thyroid next to colloid goitre, commonly associated with hypothyroidism. Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is quick, cost-effective, and highly sensitive in diagnosing HT. The cytomorphological grading of this form of thyroiditis was first done by Bhatia et al.[2] Several studies have also compared the cytological grades with hormonal and biochemical parameters.[3],[4],[5] Studies till date have shown the prevalence of anemia among patients with hypothyroid. However, studies on correlation of this form of autoimmune thyroiditis with hematological parameters [hemoglobin (Hb), total count (TC), differential count, and red blood cell count] are sparse. This study was done to categorize the cytological grades as per the classification of Bhatia et al. and to compare the grades with thyroid hormone status along with a study on the correlation of the grades with routinely done hematological parameters. During the period from January 2015 to August 2017, a total of 1265 patients were referred to the cytopathology department of our hospital for FNAC of the thyroid gland. An examination of the thyroid gland was done and the enlargement was classified as diffuse or nodular, with a note on the presenting complaints and brief history of the patients. FNAC was done using a 24-G needle using primary nonaspiration technique and aspiration technique only when needed under aseptic precautions. A minimum of two passes were made, and the aspirated material was fixed in ethanol. Cases in which smears were unsatisfactory, repeat aspiration was done, with minimum of two good smears selected having features of lymphocytic thyroiditis for the study. Both Papanicoulou and hemotoxylin and eosin stains were done on the fixed smears, and Giemsa stain was done on air-dried smears. The patients also had estimation of thyroid hormones done with normal ranges of T3, T4, and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) being 0.52–1.85 ng/mL, 4.4–10.8 μg/dL, and 0.39–6.16 μIU/mL, respectively, using Electro Chemiluminescence in Cobas eC411 autoanalyzer from Rosche. An automated analyzer – Sysmex 400 – was used to obtain hematological parameters which were done using anticoagulated venous blood samples. These parameters [Hb, TC, red blood cell (RBC) count, and platelet count] were standardized by routine external and internal quality control checks. Cases with cytological features diagnostic of HT – Hurthle cells showing anisonucleosis with polymorphous lymphocytic population and scanty or absent colloid along with thyroid hormonal profile and hematological parameters tested at the time of FNAC – were taken for the study. Cases previously diagnosed as HT, on any medications, and with associated thyroid disorders were excluded from the study. Cytological grading was done as per the criteria proposed by Bhatia et al.,[2] as given in [Table 2]. Statistical software SPSS v. 20.0 and R environment ver. 3.2.2 were used for the analysis of data, and Microsoft Word and Excel were used to generate graphs and tables. Analysis of variance and Chi-square test were used, with P value less than 0.05 considered as significant. The study was approved by the institutional ethical committee.{Table 2} Out of the 1265 FNACs of thyroid, 122 were diagnosed as HT. Out of these, only 58 cases were taken up for the study as they met the inclusion criteria. Females constituted an expected high percentage (94.8%), with only three male patients. Age distribution of the cases: A majority of the patients in our study were in the third (48.2%) decade followed by second (25.8%) and fourth decades of life (13.7%). Cytological grading was done as per the criteria given by Bhatia et al. [Table 1]. Grade II cases constituted the largest category (56.9%) in our study, followed by grade I (34.5%) and grade III (8.6%) [Figure 1]a and [Figure 1]b.{Table 1}{Figure 1} On examination, at the time of FNAC, the enlargement of the thyroid gland was diffuse in a majority of the cases (45 cases, 77.4%). However, nodular enlargements were seen in the rest (13 cases, 22.6%). Symptoms such as gain of weight, voice change, and visible neck swelling were noticed in 72% of the total cases irrespective of the cytological grades. Various cytological features were observed on the smears. Hurthle cells – 95.4%, benign follicular cells – 25.3%, anisonucleosis of the Hurthle cells – 87.5%, giant cells – 26%, plasma cells – 54%, centrocytes and centroblasts – 73%, and epitheloid cells – 46% [Figure 2]a and [Figure 2]b.{Figure 2} Serological correlation Although hypothyroidism was seen in a majority of the cases in grade II, there was no statistical correlation (P = 0.9) between the cytological grades with hormonal status. Also, subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) was seen in a significant number of patients (39.6%). A majority of euthyroid cases were seen in grade II, and hyperthyroid cases were seen equally distributed among grades I and II, with none in grade III category [Table 2]. Anti-TPO antibody was available only in 21 cases. Increase in anti-TPO with an increase in TSH was seen in 80.95% of the cases, increase in anti-TPO with normal TSH was seen in 14.2% of the cases, while one case showed increased TSH with normal anti-TPO levels. Cytological and hematological correlation When correlated with the basic hematological parameters, it was found that the mean Hb was reduced in all the grades of HT. The lowest Hb was found in grade II (10.9 g%). The total white blood cell (WBC) count and platelet count were within the normal range in all cytological grades showing no significant statistical correlation [Table 3].{Table 3} Hematological and serological correlation There was significant correlation only between Hb and thyroid status, with the lowest value of Hb being in grade II hypothyroid cytology cases. The total WBC count, platelet count, and RBC count did not show any statistical correlation with the thyroid hormone status and were within the normal limits in all the three categories (euthyroid, hypothyroid, and hyperthyroid) [Table 4].{Table 4} Diseases of the thyroid are seen increasingly in today's world. They have an advantage over other endocrine disorders in that enlargement of the thyroid gland is visible, can be easily subjected to diagnostic aspiration and scanning, and have the accessibility to medical treatment.[1] HT, a well-known autoimmune disease of the thyroid, is known to be more prevalent in Asians.[6] The pathogenesis of this organ-specific form of thyroiditis is sensitization of the cluster differentiation 4 (CD4+) T-helper cells to the antigens in the thyroid follicular cells. CD 8 + T-cell-mediated cytotoxicity, cell death by the release of cytokines, and antibody-dependent cell-mediated toxicity are caused by binding of the various antibodies (anti-thyroglobulin, anti-TPO) to the cell surface of the follicular cells.[7] This form of autoimmune thyroiditis has also been categorized as having a genetic disease, having combined effects of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class II genes and non-HLA gene polymorphisms contributing to the pathogenesis of the same.[8] The peak age incidence of HT in our study was the third to fourth decade of life, which is in accordance with other Indian studies unlike the Western literature (fifth decade of life).[2],[9],[10] Female predominance was seen in our study with a female: male ratio of 14.7:1, similar to other studies. Diffusely enlarged thyroid is the most common presentation of this form of thyroiditis. Nodular presentation was seen in 22.6% of our cases. Nodules represent early stage of the disease prior to hormonal changes.[2] Higher percentage of nodularity in our study compared with other studies can probably be attributed to the frequent conducting of monthly camps, helping the rural masses access medical treatment at earlier stages. FNAC is a part of basic investigation done for patients presenting with thyroid enlargements. The classical features of HT on aspirates of FNA are Hurthle cell change with anisonucleosis and varying amount of polymorphous lymphoid infiltrate in a background of scant colloid. Epitheloid granulomas, plasma cells, giant cells, and occasional follicular cells can be seen.[11] The above-mentioned features were all seen in varying proportions in our study. Cytological grading: Grade II type of thyroiditis was the most commonly seen in this study, in agreement with a majority of previous studies.[2],[6],[7]. Grade I represents earlier stage of the disease, and groups II and III represent more progressive form of the disease as proven by previous studies. Although FNAC has a high sensitivity and specificity in diagnosing HT, a few diagnostic pitfalls must be kept in mind. The florid lymphocytic population seen in cytological grade II and grade III disease can be mistaken for non-Hodgkin's lymphomas.[12] Predominance of Hurthle cells in smears, especially when the enlargements are nodular, must be interpreted carefully. In such cases, the background lymphocytic infiltrate is often assumed to be a part of the hemorrhagic element of the aspirate. In doubtful cases, there must not be hesitancy on the part of the cytopathologist to reaspirate; aspirate from another representative site and if still needed should go for ultrasound-guided FNAC. Differentials of Hurthle cell lesions in particular Hurthle cell neoplasms must always be kept in mind. Another closely related condition to be considered is subacute thyroiditis, which can be differentiated by the finding of a mixed inflammatory infiltrate and follicular cell degeneration. Also, clinical presentation will often be an acute one with signs of inflammation.[13] A few studies done by Rathi et al.[14] and Ekambaram et al.[15] have shown eosinophilic infiltrate of Hurthle cells as an associated feature of significance in HT. Eosinophils were not significantly associated with any of the cases in this study. The incidence of malignancy in HT is documented to vary from 0.4% to 28%.[9] In this study, no associated malignancy was documented. The possibilities would be the patients would have probably presented well in advance or would have lost to follow-up. Hormonal assays done in our study showed a majority (74%) of the patients to be hypothyroid in agreement with previous studies.[2],[10],[11] The state where T3 and T4 are normal with TSH being above the defined upper limit of the reference range is called subclinical hypothyroidism, representing an early phase of hormonal imbalance. In this study, 39.6% of the cases presented with SCH, similar to a study of Bhatia et al.[2]. However, Bagchi et al.[16] found subclinical disease in 8%–17% of their subjects, which is lower compared with our study. The higher rates again could be attributed to the early access of the patients to medical testing. A Majority of the cases in all the cytological categories (grades I, II, and III) in our study were associated with hypothyroidism. Euthyroid cases were seen mainly in grade II category followed by grade I. Hashitoxicosis refers to a transient state of hyperthyroidism seen in HT, representing the aggravated destruction of the follicles.[1]. Four patients of cytologically diagnosed HT in our study presented with serological hyperthyroidism. However, when calculations were done, there was no statistical significance between the cytological grades and the thyroid status of the individuals. This finding is in conclusion with similar studies done till date.[2],[10] The role of anti-TPO antibodies in the pathogenesis of HT is well-documented.[17] A study by Thomas et al.[18] has shown that morphologically the anti-TPO antibody–positive cases are indistinguishable from the antibody-negative cases. Although negative serology in this form of thyroiditis causes a diagnostic dilemma at times, it is a well-established fact that the intrathyroid immune destruction occurs much earlier than the serological changes. Also, over time cytomorphological features persist unlike the antibody titers, which may fluctuate. In addition, a majority of the population in the surroundings of our hospital being from a rural background cannot afford antibody testing many a times. The fact that only 21 among the 102 cases had anti-TPO testing done in this study further supports this fact. Thyroid hormones have a well-documented role in the metabolism and proliferation of red cells.[19] Studies have postulated that hypothyroidism induces hypoplasia and hyperthyroidism hyperplasia in all myeloid cell lineages. Also, for WBCs like lymphocytes, T3 is a precursor substance for normal B-cell formation in bone marrow by mediating pro-B-cell proliferation.[20] Studies on correlation of a majority of hematological parameters with thyroid hormones have been done, proving a strong association between the two by the virtue of affecting hematopoiesis.[4],[21],[22] A slightly depressed total leukocyte count (TLC), neutropenia, and thrombocytopenia have been observed in hypothyroid patient.[5] A study by Iddah et al.[5] have shown Hb and TLC to be low and platelet count to be high for subjects suffering from autoimmune thyroid disease. Meanwhile, studies have also showed no significant correlation between the TLC and platelet count, but significant correlation for Hb and RBC count between hyper- and hypothyroid. In this study, the only hematological parameter that showed significant correlation with thyroid hormones was Hb level, which was low in hypothyroid compared with normal and euthyroid cases. Previous studies have shown both microcytic anemia and macroctytic anemia to be associated with the hypothyroid state of autoimmune thyroiditis.[4] In addition, our study also correlated the cytological grades of HT with the basic hematological parameters. Hb was mildly low in all the three cytological grades, with no other hematological parameter showing significant correlation with the cytological grades. The platelet count, TC, and RBC count did not show significant difference between the grades. Similar studies with more stringent criteria done in a larger group would help shed more light on this issue. This study reaffirms that cytology still remains the gold standard for the diagnosis of HT. A serological state of SCH with nodular enlargement of thyroid possibly indicates early presentation. The cytomorphological grading showed no correlation with thyroid hormonal status and hematological parameters. Also, most of the hypothyroid cases had low Hb levels, in agreement with previous studies, with no other hematological parameters showing any statistically significant correlation. 1 Unnikrishnan AG, Menon UV.

Some of the lanterns were also found inside the jet engine of an airliner at the airport. Provincial Governor Suriya Prasatbandit said on Monday the release of sky lanterns has become a tourism selling point of Chiang Mai Province. Previously, the sky lanterns were released only during the Loy Krathong (Yipeng) Festival. At present the lanterns are released almost on every occasion, resulting in several fires and disruptions to air traffic. Mr. Suriya said all relevant local agencies will meet on Friday to discuss measures and laws currently available for use in curbing the release of the sky lanterns. The meeting will also deliberate curfew periods for the release of sky lanterns, and areas where releases are banned. Governor Suriya added that authorities will also devise measures to ensure that sellers of sky lanterns only make available products that fall in accord with the established standard. Group Captain Wisut Chanthana, director of Chiang Mai Airport, told media that sky lanterns that fall in accordance with the law should not cause damage to aircraft engines. However, there currently are illegal varieties that are fitted with gas canisters or other modifications that can harm aircraft. He noted that nonetheless, it is preferable that no foreign objects enter the engine as there is always a risk of causing harm. Firefighters at Chiang Mai Airport told the media that 206 sky lanterns were collected from airport grounds during the night of New Year's Eve and the following morning. In comparison, 30-40 were collected each night during the Loy Krathong Festival. The shocking number of sky lanterns that made their way into the airport was attributed to the wind direction on the night of New Year's Eve, which blew the lanterns into the airport from the main release sites in downtown Chiang Mai. - Source: http://thainews.prd.go.th Utah officers help suicidal woman on flight back f... 15-year-old sole survivor of plane crash Flatbread Will Shutter Its Vineyard Operation: M...

__label__wiki	0.743565	0.743565	the metabunker by matthias wivel & friends Tag Archive for 'Jimbo in Purgatory' On The Mount — An interview with Gary Panter Published on 23. 10. 2012 in comics and cartooning, interviews and letters. Closed Tags: Boccaccio, Dante, Gary Panter, Jimbo in Purgatory. Jimbo in Purgatory This interview with Gary Panter was conducted over a crackling phone line in New York in the spring of 2004. Panter had recently released his magnum opus Jimbo in Purgatory, a reading via comics of the middle part of Dante’s Divine Comedy, the Purgatorio , via Boccaccio and a host of other classics of European literature — particularly of the medieval and renaissance eras — dressed in pop culture drag. Surely one of the most unusual works of comics of the past couple of decades, it is an incredibly dense and (let’s face it) difficult work. layered as it is in intertextual reference. But it rewards the committed reader, providing an oblique viewpoint upon the classical tradition, and not the least its humanist iteration as born in the late middle ages and developed through the renaissance to shape Western culture as we know it. Although its particulars may largely be forgotten today, Panter insists upon its currency and situates it at the heart of contemporary culture in what is merely the most hubristic manifestation of his ongoing efforts to break down the barriers between so-called high and low culture. By demonstrating that the two were always of a piece, fruitfully synthesized in multifarious ways through the early modern period, and alive and kicking today. The interview was originally published in Danish at Rackham back in 2004, and was followed by my review of the book, which we also reprinted here recently. We named Jimbo in Purgatory Book of the Year back then, and the interview and review were at least in part an effort to get behind the scenes a little bit in order to unpack the work for the first-time reader, as well as to provide a little extra for Panter connoisseurs. I hope we succeeded, even if Panter’s subsequent edits never made it to my inbox, leaving a few lacunae in my transcript exposed and unelucidated. A pity, but in a way not inappropriate. I’d like to start out by asking you about how the project came about. What prompted you to embark upon Jimbo in Purgatory? Which thoughts and ideas did you bring to it initially? Two things happened. The first was that I started reading Finnegans Wake along with the footnotes to it. Secondly, I started thinking about why I had named my first Jimbo collection, the Pantheon book, Jimbo in Paradise. It clearly had to do with Dante, but I’d never actually read Paradise, I hadn’t read the Comedy. The reading of Joyce and the footnotes to it lead me to all this medieval stuff, all this satirical stuff, which really appealed to me, while Dante lead me to Boccaccio… Continue reading ‘On The Mount — An interview with Gary Panter’ Comics of the Decade: Gary Panter’s Jimbo in Purgatory Published on 11. 09. 2012 in comics and cartooning, commentary and criticism and letters. Closed Tags: Boccaccio, Dante, Gary Panter, Jimbo in Purgatory. This is part of a Metabunker series celebrating a great decade in comics with Rackham by reprinting select reviews of the decades’ best comics from the Rackham archive, along with a number of new pieces. Thus the unfacts, did we posses them, are too imprecisely few to warrant our certitude. – James Joyce In the twelfth canto of Purgatorio, the last step on the way before Dante can put behind him the burden of pride and rise up to the second terrace of Mount Purgatory, he stumbles — stooped and strained by sin — on an enormous comic, cut into the rocky pavement. The comic tells the story of vanity and presumption from the dawn of time to the Biblical era. He is thus given the opportunity to reacquaint himself with the story of Niobe, Queen of Thebes, whose aggrandizement of her seven children over the goddess Leto’s two, lost them to the arrows of the gods and was transformed into a statue. Or the tale of the weaver Arachne who was punished for besting Pallas Athena with her art had to spend the rest of her life spinning webs as a spider. Or the tale of the Syrian warlord Holophernes who gave himself over to the murderous hands of the avenging Israelite Judith, or – not the least – the story of King Nimrod of Babel left broken on the plain of Shinar, his aspirations struck down in bitter confusion of language. Gary Panter’s commentary track in comics, Jimbo in Purgatory, substitutes a diagonally placed tapestry of fifties B-movie posters for Dante’s comic. Standing in for the poet is his recurrent, Candide-like muscle man Jimbo, whose origins trace back to the early seventies, while Dante’s guide on the mountain, the Roman poet Virgil, is replaced by Jimbo’s parole officer, the box-shaped robot Valise. The angel who descends on them from the mountain and tells them about the transience of all life appears here in the form of the robot woman from Fritz Lang’s SF parable Metropolis (1927). Panter’s version of the conversation is a fragmented jumble to Dante’s moving reflection on human worth. An exchange of classic nonsense and raunchy limericks stitched to samples from Boccaccio, Chaucer and Milton. The result is a poetic confusion of meaning in which twentieth-century pop artifacts are tried in the court of the classics, read in eclectic zigzag to engage only halfway tongue-in-cheek the questions raised by the source material.

Our minister Tom Nelson and his wife Catherine, along with parishioner May MacFadyean, visited Al Shurooq in 2007, as part of their pilgrimage to the Holy Land, and were deeply moved by what they saw. As a result, Netherlee Church has now forged strong links with the school, and has pledged ongoing support and friendship. Says Tom: “It is Christians like Helen who are keeping the gospel story alive in the Holy Land today.” Al Shurooq is the story of one woman’s perseverance. Founded by Helen in 1981, with the aim of enabling blind people in Palestine to become self-sufficient and productive members of their society, the school is in Palestinian territory, behind the wall that divides them from Israel. The school is residential and provides total care and education for children from age two upwards. Some pay a small contribution towards their upkeep, as their families are able, but many are from very poor families or have been abandoned. The focus is on rehabilitation and integration into the local community. In 2009 the school moved into a brand new purpose-built building. It has three floors and can house up to thirty children in five bedrooms each sleeping six. There are classrooms, dining and assembly halls, a Braille Production Room and staff accommodation. This whole project was paid for by public donations, and the ongoing work is also totally reliant on the generosity of supporters. Members of Netherlee Church, together with other congregations on the south-side of Glasgow were delighted to contribute to the furnishings of the new building. Children are accommodated and attend school in the same building. They follow a normal curriculum with classes in Maths, Geography, History and the like. In addition they learn Braille, both in Arabic and English and are taught daily living skills and helped with their mobility. Extra-curricular activities such as music and art also feature prominently as do computer classes using synthesizers. When the child returns home, the school keeps in touch and actively helps them to integrate, providing many of the essential tools they will need including Braille textbooks and typewriters, Braille paper, magnifiers, canes and tape recorders. Specialized social workers visit the children in their villages and offer them, their parents and teachers, support where often there is great ignorance. There are still many people who believe that blindness is not altogether respectable. This is a prime prejudice that Al Shurooq seeks to change. Helen strives to instil confidence in the children to do things for themselves and by themselves and not to be the pitied victims that many people expect them to be. Children from Netherlee Sunday Club have already donated funds to the school, and have designed tactile Christmas cards with raised shapes and textures like velvet and cotton wool to send to children in Al Shurooq – each with a specially printed Braille message inside. In 2008, Netherlee Church, as part of Clarkston Churches Together, hosted a weekend visit from the Head Teacher of the school to help raise awareness and much-needed financial support. The school believes in continuous improvement and has recently introduced assistive technology equipment in classrooms – a reader with a digital magnifying device connected with LCD screen, to help visually impaired children read a book or a text clearly. The current project is fundraising for a Sensory Room to provide a calming atmosphere for visually impaired children, which helps to improve eye condition, develop language skills and improve mental development. The space for this has been identified, but support is needed to equip the room with sensory elements to make the service available for the children.

Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.” — Galatians 6:7-8 Copyright © 1973, 1978, 1984, 2011 by Biblica.

An added advantage to the two places of Nrusimhanath and Harishankar is the 16km trekking route by which travellers can go from Harishankar to Nrusimhanath and vice-versa and the journey ensures meeting many rare, endangered and precious medicinal plants. Even historians say that influence of Buddhism was also seen in the archaeological works in the entire area. According to Chinese scholar Hiuen Tsang, the belt might be the seat of a Buddhist university called Polo-mo-lo-ki-li. Phurli Jharan The 16metre high waterfall is only 15km from Bhawanipatna in Kalahandi district. The rainbows created by sun rays playing with the water spray creates a special charm. Pradhanpat This beautiful fall is part of Pradhanpat hill, which offers a scenic view and the water comes with several steps from the top creating several natural swimming pools on the hill itself. Close to the Deogarh town, the place is 96km from Sambalpur on NH-6. This waterfall had the first hydro-electric power unit in the state. This region was previously under the princely state of Bamanda. Know More >>> Duduma The southern-most district of the state, Malkangiri, has got this beautiful waterfall besides several beautiful lakes spread across the region. The fall is situated 70km from Jeypore town. Duduma waterfall descends from a height of 155metres and feeds water to Machhakunda Dam. Apart from the waterfalls listed in tourism packages, Gandahati in Gajapati district and Khandadhar, Gundichaghai and Handibhanga in Keonjhar district also draw large crowds. Know More >>> Gudguda This is one of the small but beautiful 3 step waterfall of Sambalpur district, Odisha. It sprinkles out from the Gudguda mountain, as told by the locals . Know More >>> Putudi Located 15 km from Phulbani, the natural beauty of the Putudi fall on the river Bada Saluki, with dense forests and hills on either side have entranced visitors over the ages Koilighugar The Koilighugar Waterfall, around 200 ft in height, is in the Lakhanpur, near the village Kushmelbahal. The waterfall is in a rivulet named Ahiraj which originates from the ‘Chhuikhanch’ forest. After the fall the rivulet flows west wards to merge into the Mahanadi river. It is a picturesque beauty spot with its sylvan back drop. Chatikona Chatikona is a small village of Rayagada district in the state of Odisha, India. It is one of the identified Tourist Centres and the village is surrounded by the famous Niyamgiri hills in its three directions.The temple of Lord Shiva(Pataleswar) with a beautiful water fall beside, is a picnic spot and a place of tourist attraction of Rayagada district. Deojhar Deojhar waterfalla,around 130kms from Cuttack, in Narasinghpur Block of Cuttack District is famous for its natural beauty and Picnic. One cave named as Badedidhar is just at the top of the waterfall. Gandahati Gandahati is more about 30 km far from Paralakhemundi and which belongs to in Gajapati district of Odisha. The place is famous for the glittering water fall, which is famous water fall in Odisha and this this enclosed by dense green forest. You will find so many wild animals like elephant and these elephants are coming from upper side of the hill to this waterfall to bath/drink water. One beauty-full hindu temple is present near to this water fall. It can be reached both by rail & road. The nearest railway station Palasa is 44 kms away from Paralakhemundi. All the trains connecting Howrah with the southern part pass through Palasa and have a halt here.

__label__cc	0.694962	0.305038	You are here: Home → Building Capacity Blog → Continuous Air Barriers in Multi-family Buildings Continuous Air Barriers in Multi-family Buildings Alistair Jackson, CSBA and LEED for Homes QAD discusses a recent development in multi-family building performance. With the implementation of the Washington State Energy Code of 2009 came the requirements (Section 1314.6) that multi-family buildings in Washington State include a continuous air barrier in the building envelope and, more challengingly, test that envelope for infiltration performance. Projects that chose to pursue certification under the LEED for Homes Midrise Pilot ran into a similar requirement in that program a year or more before the WSEC implementation and so got a head start on the process. The value of a tight building envelope has been broadly accepted in the world of single family construction for several years, supported by sound building science, as an effective way to reduce space conditioning energy, improve thermal comfort and improve moisture management. In multi-family buildings, this broad acceptance has not yet occurred. Part of the reason for this is the common assumption that multi-family buildings are dominated more by internal loads than by envelope loads (because of the skin to volume ratio), so the thermal and air-exchange loads of the envelope have tended to take a back seat to mechanical conditioning, ventilation and lighting issues. In reality, however, the taller form of these buildings leads to significant pressure differences from bottom to top that can drive much greater air exchange across the building envelope for a given surface due to stack effect. This must be countered by larger mechanical systems to keep the building balanced and comfortable. By improving air barrier continuity and hence controlling the leakage through the envelope, we tip the first in a line of dominoes that topple, one by one, towards better overall building performance. Generally speaking, there are two approaches to creating a continuous air barrier in a building envelope. The more “conventional” approach, originating in single family construction and long supported by Energy Star, RESNET and others, is to use rigid, self-supporting components of the building assembly – such as sheathing, framing, gypsum board, – to form the air barrier, ensuring continuity by sealing them together with resilient and often flexible materials (glues, caulks, foams) to form an air tight box. This is a reliable approach as long as the craftspeople assembling the building understand the intent of the details and install them carefully. On the scale of a six story midrise building, however, with 300 residential units in it and multiple transitions between wall assembly types, across floor plates, and so forth, this approach can prove challenging to manage and implement. More recently, the availability of high-performance building wraps or membranes, designed originally as weather resistive barriers, has led to the exploration of using these products to also serve as a continuous air barrier – we’ll call this an “exterior membrane air barrier” system. Manufacturers are providing installation guidelines for their products as an “Air Barrier System” with additional details that go beyond weather barrier requirements – notably addressing sealing to the structure, sealing of lap seams and fastening systems. This “exterior membrane air barrier” approach is attracting a lot of attention among the current raft of multi-family projects pursuing LEED for Homes Midrise certification. We’ve seen systems using Vaproshield and Tyvek CommercialWrap D on recent project specifications. With many of these projects using a qualified envelope durability consultant, there’s good confidence of a successful implementation. To date, we have been cautious about this approach because we’ve seen, first hand, that efforts to properly seal lap seams between sheets and at openings can be challenging and that the typical, liberal application of regular staples to fasten the wrap to the sheathing results in an equally liberal distribution of torn perforations in the wrap rendering it useless as an air barrier. Furthermore, some wrap products can degrade with prolonged exposure to sun and wind, resulting in reduced performance over the long term. So adapting this material and system requires some changes in approach and in understanding of the intent. As we have seen in the past with changes of construction practice, adoption follows the typical bell curve – early adopters jump in and figure it out, then practice percolates into the mainstream. Both the rigid air barrier approach and the exterior membrane approach demand attention to detailing to be effective. What remains to be seen is how quickly the construction sector will build the capacity to properly implement the details to a standard that will deliver performance. The good news is that the addition of a performance testing requirement means we'll see real measurements of the effectiveness of this new approach. Assuming that the market place can actually deliver the capacity for large building infiltration testing (another story) by the time these buildings are completed, we should get good empirical data on the various approaches to creating a continuous air barrier fairly quickly as buildings are completed.

__label__cc	0.534034	0.465966	Review: Serial Cleaner [ Nintendo Switch eShop ] Have you been looking for something a bit weird and different on the Switch? Something that has sort of hybrid gameplay and that doesn’t generally let you get too comfortable? Perhaps you are looking for a load of distinctive style as well, both in terms of visuals and music? How about a dash of morbid and weird humor to spice things up? If you answered yes to those questions I’ll gladly tell you that Serial Cleaner is very likely for you! You play the game as the guy who the mob (or some other interesting people and organizations, it turns out) calls when things get a bit “messy” in a criminal sense. Your job is to remove evidence, some bodies, and a fair amount of blood from what are often extremely active crime scenes, having to evade the detection of cops in the process. This results in a very cat and mouse style of gameplay and makes it a hybrid of a puzzle game and a stealth action game. Of course you won’t want to take it too seriously (in general, it doesn’t) when somehow things like evading the cops at the last second by hiding in a cardboard box are effective. Hey, it’s a game, you’re here to have some fun! The essential gameplay loop is that you’ll get a call for a job, roll out to the scene in your wood-paneled station wagon, and then work to clean things up. To do this you’ll make use of your pulled out “Cleaner Vision” that will stop the action and show you where everything of relevance to the current level are. This would include bodies, pieces of evidence, places to hide (make very good note of those!), things that can be moved, and the cops as well. You’ll need to very carefully then make your way around the level to clean up blood, snag evidence, and pick up bodies to put back in your car. The fact that levels aren’t always the same layout (particularly the further you go), some cops have somewhat roving patrols, and you can’t manipulate objects or hide with a corpse on your back help to provide some structure and challenge to things and while getting caught is always frustrating I very much appreciate the level of effort dedicated to levels not having a static solution and forcing you to keep your head in the game at all times. A further nice touch is the hints at what’s happening in the world between missions and the elements you slowly learn about your character over the course of the game. They’re hardly a revelation but again, it is a nice touch. In terms of shortcomings there are some things that sometimes feel quirky or at least inconsistent. More than once I was caught because I had a difficult time triggering a door or some other object in the environment to open or close. The zone of activation can be a bit odd sometimes and it would have been nice to have it be a little more forgiving for those situations where you’re trying to evade capture. While I would consider it less of a fault than a casualty that comes along with the style of play as the game progresses and levels get larger and more complex the all-or-nothing style can be more aggravating, though that also lends some excitement and feeling of relief and achievement when you do finally beat them. Just understand that your worst enemy in the game is yourself and your own patience. Not pushing your luck to get by 2 cops in a row without hiding may take an extra minute but the 10 minutes it may save you not having to start over again could be well worth it. In the end Serial Cleaner, by its style, won’t be a game for everyone but for the right people I think it will be very engaging. It’s clever in the right places, a bit funny at times to keep things light, and it will challenge your planning as well as your patience. If you enjoy stealth or creative spins on puzzle games it is a refreshing hybrid that delivers a solid challenge for the cost of admission. The layouts of levels and some seemingly random officer patrol routes at times don’t allow you to get lazy in clearing the crime scenes Mixing elements of stealth games with what amount to puzzles makes for some fresh gameplay A terrific visual style that works well Though the hiding system can be silly you’ll also be glad that it works the way it does Be ready for aggravation when you blow it trying to move your last body into your car Sometimes things like doors don’t trigger when they feel like they should, usually at very inconvenient times Relatively early on mechanically the missions all involve the same actions, they just become more elaborate Review: Portal Knights [ Nintendo Switch eShop ] The game of Minecraft is a phenomenon. Having started from very humble beginnings, and in many ways sticking to what made it successful and not changing much over the years, it has single-handedly created and defined a genre since its beginnings. There have been attempts made before in a variety of ways and from a variety of developers, from big to small, to replicate that success or try to improve upon it but few have managed to be familiar but different and then also successful. While it isn’t without its quirks I’d say Portal Knights is the most accessible and enjoyable Minecraft variant I’ve played to date and it also well-suited to the Nintendo Switch. Starting from the beginning Portal Knights plays like an attempt to take the crafting and progression systems from Minecraft as a base framework but then applies several changes, the majority of which I’m quite fond of. First, it lets you create an avatar to play with that doesn’t look like complete garbage. The tools are pretty simple still but the options to create your base character allow for some personality and variety and the result is a somewhat LEGO-esque looking character to build on. Over the course of the game you’ll be able to outfit your character as well but what’s great is that what you’re wearing in terms of armor can be overridden by something you aesthetically prefer. So that great helmet you found to wear doesn’t need to ruin your outfit to get its benefits. Second, it takes a stab at making the combat more dynamic and interesting. You’ll get to choose between a Warrior, a Ranger, or a Mage and it goes without saying that their styles are different. Within each class you’ll also be able to choose your weapon of choice and though this doesn’t change things too much it helps to differentiate things a wee bit at least. In all cases once you lock on to an enemy you’ll then be able to evade attacks with a press of the A button. This isn’t perfect but makes the combat active and provides a nice challenge. Last, rather than creating a single massive landscape the game’s portals each lead to a new land and ecosystem that then has its own elements and monsters. I find the more segmented nature of things, in addition to the ability to easily move between worlds you’ve visited, makes hunting down something you’re missing quite easy and painless. Going over the highlights of what works well in the game combat and monster diversity aren’t perfect but they’re at least strong. There are quite a number of big boss battles you’ll face over the course of the game and, in general, combat is engaging and fair. The lock on and dodge mechanics make it possible to bring down enemies much tougher than you if you have patience, you’ll just need to learn that the dodge has some lead time on it. Crafting works well and the tools you can craft pretty early on to help make mining more efficient are appreciated (you want the drill) to keep things light and fun. The fact that you can slowly accumulate experience for mining is also great for people who aren’t quite as into combat. Another key in being able to minimize combat is that sometimes portal fragments also come from mining. Each world has at least one portal that will take you to another land, but in order to open it you’ll need to construct special blocks and the quickest way to accumulate the materials you’ll need is through combat, the fact that the game allows you to progress without so much combat is a nice touch though. I also appreciate the fact that while there are more monsters when the game turns to night that, in general, they stick to their zones and don’t seek you out. Between this and the ability to cheaply buy deeds that will unlock empty zones for you there’s no great need for dedicated survival and creative modes, the main mode simply works well for both. Getting into the complaints there aren’t too many but some things don’t work quite a well as others. While the game’s UI is certainly workable, and there’s no doubt there are many things you need to be able to manage, it’s also a bit cumbersome. Though both local 2-player split-screen and 4-player multi-player are available at a high level the online infrastructure for playing with other people is far more limited than what people accustomed to Minecraft may expect. You’ll be fine to actively play with your friends who have the game but there’s not infrastructure for contributing to a specific world collaboratively. Just a warning for people who are considering coming over to try it out that some things you’ve taken for granted aren’t available here, and with what it offers instead I think it’s a fair trade. The last note is that procedurally-generated worlds are always a mixed bag and Portal Knights does a fair job at it but there can be quirks. Sometimes quests can end up being a bit odd or even buggy because of how things were created and you can also find structures, at times, somewhat buried because of how things got generated. It’s hardly a crippling problem, but just something to keep in mind as a sacrifice made in order to have the worlds feel more unique. Overall Portal Knights is a game that gets far more right than wrong and, truth be told, I actually think its more active combat and RPG progression (among other things) make it more fun than the games that helped inspire it. There are some sacrifices that come with those differences, but this feels more like an adventure most of the time instead of just strictly a sandbox. If you’re grown accustomed to a vast online infrastructure you’ll likely be disappointed but playing with some friends is still satisfying and works well. In particular if you’re looking for a game to play with the family where everyone can have some fun I think Portal Knights may be among your best choices on the Switch. The combat is both reasonably engaging and accessible to all skill levels A wide variety of smaller worlds you can easily move between rather than a massive landscape to traverse RPG progression and structured periodic challenges like boss battles help differentiate it from its competition Procedural generation is generally good but can have quirky results The UI can be cumbersome to deal with, and you’ll need to spend quite a lot of time in it Less overall online infrastructure for multiplayer options than the competition Review: Green Game - Timeswapper [ Nintendo Switch eShop ] In the area of budget games that are brought over from mobile the Switch has a mixed bag. Some mobile conversions have terrible controls, some just aren’t as well suited to the Switch’s larger screen, and some work out pretty well. Unfortunately, Green Game: Timeswapper is one that hasn’t worked out well, though it would be within the developer’s power to improve the situation with a patch so all hope may not be lost. Starting with what’s good we have the game’s overall aesthetics and sound. While it isn’t a very complicated look with foreground elements in black over the incredibly green background (thus the game’s name) there is certainly a sense of style to it all. I’d also say that while the soundtrack can get repetitive after awhile I also dig the music that further reinforces that sense of style, seemingly setting the stage for good things. The idea of the game is pretty basic, you use the touchscreen as a sort of throttle or dial, moving it to the right or the left to affect the various implements on the screen. This starts out with just some machines that puff air but as you go along things get more complicated as you begin to control the angle of some elements, their movement, and so on. You’re doing all of this in order to move your odd-looking bird through the level safely, picking up as many little cogs as you can (there are 3 per level) if you’re feeling daring but ultimately getting it safely from the is starts from to a new enclosure at the end. Unfortunately regardless of the merits of the gameplay style and its overall presentation as of Level 7 there are enough control issues with the game that I’d consider it not worth playing. The bad signs actually begin with the main menu. I actually spent the first minute or two trying to figure out how to get rolling. There was no button saying “Go” and when I touched the cog near the Number 1, which I took to be for the level, the cogs shifted so I could see the cogs for later levels. I finally figured out the issue was that the area you need to hit for the Level is actually very precise and if you’re off at all it instead will move the cogs. I thought it was just me but then when another person I know said they couldn’t figure out how to start the game that reinforced that it is a problem. Once I got past that things were fine for the first few levels since those are mostly on/off in nature, requiring that you alternate which blowers are activated to push your bird around to where it needs to go. Once you begin needing nuance, though, the touchscreen controls are roughly a nightmare as they aren’t precise. You’ll move the dial, stop, and then the controls will slowly continue to creep in either direction. I can’t imagine this is in any way intended as the result is you fighting with the controls rather than focusing on the puzzle-based gameplay. Even at the very modest price being asked on the Switch eShop for this game right now I can’t recommend it. I like its looks and sounds, and the puzzle mechanic seems novel enough to occupy yourself with for a few hours. Unfortunately the forced touchscreen controls are implemented so wonkily that it gives you nothing but aggravation once nuance is called for pretty early on in the game. If the game is patched and this is changed, with the controls being precise, I hope to give it a more thorough review but for now I’d avoid it. A great aesthetic look Some nice music to match A decent gameplay concept for as much as you can sample Touchscreen controls only Once the controls stop being on/off they’re too unreliable to be used Review: Worms W.M.D. [ Nintendo Switch eShop ] Being old, I recall a game that I enjoyed playing with my friends in college that was pretty well on every machine in the computer lab called Scorched Earth. You’d be in your tank and would try to shoot your enemies on the map by changing up your angle and power. You could play it straight-up but the best way was to allow all weapons and then fire something that would wipe out half the screen, hoping you’d manage to wipe them out without also destroying yourself. The mix of strategy and certainly silliness in that game is always what I’ve appreciated about the Worms series, which has absolutely been in that very same vein over the years. While you can try to play it more straight-forward with guns and grenades it’s the risk of mutually-assured destruction when you begin using much crazier weapons that makes it so satisfying, even when you only manage to kill yourself in the process. Starting with what has generally always worked well Worms W.M.D. is great to play locally with friends or online. You’ll have the choice of 1 on 1 play as well as against multiple people and the matches remain as unpredictable as ever as people jockey for position in the high ground and try to survive each other’s attacks. Items like the Ninja Rope and the Jetpack can be vital to aid in getting yourself into position so that you can then mount your best attack. From there, as always, the more traditional weapons will be available as well as the more ridiculous, including old stand-bys like the sheep and other more over-the-top munitions. What’s new, and that changes up the strategic element of the game quite a bit are vehicles including a tank, helicopter, and even a mech suit. These provide not only new opportunities to kill one another but also often a new means of moving around the map in some cases so securing them can be vital. Another element that’s been introduced is crafting, which generally has a positive effect of staving off more powerful attacks and weaponry until a little later in the game as people try to either get elements from crates or dismantling other weapons and then choose what to make out of them. This adds a new layer of strategy to the game and can encourage people to give up their great strategic position in hopes of either getting supplies to work with or simply deny them from everyone else. For me the biggest surprise in W.M.D. is the volume of worthwhile single-player content. It may be that I’ve been away from the series for a while but I’d mostly remembered single-player fare in the Worms series essentially being the same as multi-player against bots. For this go-around there are multiple training modes, a substantial number of campaign missions with both primary and secondary objectives that help you refine your game, and then additional modes that include a very challenging D-Day style invasion of sorts that made for terrific fun! Of course as you play you’ll then unlock additional gear, voices, and victory dances, and more for you to customize your crew when you play online as well. In the end I must say that I’m extremely impressed with the level of care and effort that has been put into making Worms W.M.D. worthwhile. With a series like this it seems like it can be easy to get comfortable and to phone in a new iteration with better graphics and sound but Team 17 has really shown an investment in this title that’s inspiring. By adding to the game in pretty well all directions they’ve managed to take an already-fun series and make it compelling for just about anyone to check out! Looks great in all of its silly glory The new vehicles and crafting system are terrific additions to the series and add greatly to strategy The single-player campaign includes some legitimately challenging levels that require both strategy and execution (as well as a bit of luck) Sometimes some speck of something is close by when you fire a weapon and will make you blast yourself in the face Use of the analog stick isn’t recommended as move movement and aim are tied to the same control and it can be aggravating as it shifts between them if you’re not straight in a given direction In general the shift between players can feel a little long as matches draw out Review: Mantis Burn Racing [ Nintendo Switch eShop ] For the most part when people think about racing games today something along the lines of either hardcore racers like Forza or lighter fare like Need For Speed come to mind. If you go much further back, though, there’s another style of racing that even has nostalgic value for old school fans of series like Micro Machines and that’s the top-down racer. Mantis Burn Racing is now here on the Nintendo Switch and it makes a strong case that this style of racing is far from dead. If you’re a big fan of controlled drifting you’ll be in love because more than anything that’s at the core of the gameplay here. As you move through the ranks of different circuits you’ll work on refining your skills, thrown into races that will sometimes demand that you use a specific vehicle (including ones that feel like controlling a brick on wheels) and sometimes getting to choose. Completing races and performing well will gain you experience, cogs, and upgrades that you can then use to improve specific characteristics of your vehicles. The progression is pretty important as mastering the turns in each style of vehicle and on each road surface can be tricky even when the speeds are slower, and when you get to the high end and far faster vehicles that don’t even have wheels it gets a bit insane. Noting that it is crucial to develop your skills little by little my biggest concern for the game is actually the pacing of progressing through the Career Mode and how repetitive it can feel at times. You’ll have a variety of race types thrown at you, from time trials, to normal races, to eliminations, but in the early going you’ll also find yourself typically on the same tracks over and over. The shame is that since the Switch version of the game has all of the DLC packs in the game that they weren’t peppered into the career mode in some way, even if just swapping out some of the tracks in the early going. I just worry that for some people keeping interested through the early slog is more challenging than it should need to be given the total content in this iteration of the game. Switching to playing in online races definitely helps to break things up but there are real benefits to completing the Career mode so it would have been nice to have that shaken up a bit. What absolutely redeems the game for me, and actually what I’d love to see in a sequel, is the Battle Mode that was introduced in one of the DLC packs. More of this please, there’s just something enormously satisfying about wrecking your opponents or narrowly avoiding being destroyed by managing to get to a repair spot while your vehicle is on fire from taking so much damage. Racing purists will no doubt be more attracted to the high-speed insanity of the anti-gravity vehicles that were introduced in a different DLC pack and make absolute precision absolutely a necessity. As I’d said before my only wish is that somehow the entirety of the game’s content could be remixed so that the Career mode would take full advantage of everything the DLC packs added to the game in order to make the early progression far more in line with all the game has to offer. All said Mantis Burn Racing plays brilliantly on the Switch whether in docked or handheld mode. Control is smooth, the drifting is satisfying, and in general it looks great. You can enjoy playing against the AI but it is far better to play with friends locally or online and in general I didn’t have issues finding people to play against since it is cross-platform to boot. If you’re willing to grind through the Career Mode in order to learn the nuances of the controls and unlock everything the game has to offer it does deliver a satisfying payoff, I just wish tastes of it came sooner. Drifting feels smooth and satisfying Racing on different surfaces and incline changes help make the tracks more interesting Battle Mode is a whole lot of fun that takes me back to classic gaming from the past Career Mode can be a real slog at times, and feels repetitive The DLC included added terrific content to make the game more interesting but it isn’t integrated into the Career Mode, which is a missed opportunity Review: Azure Striker Gunvolt - Striker Pack [ Nintendo Switch eShop ] Classic 2D platforming shooters have long been a staple of Nintendo systems. While most people associate this genre with the likes of the MegaMan series since Capcom hasn’t made a new one in quite some time some other companies have looked to step in to fill the void. One such company is Inti Creates, who has made other contributions to the genre, but in this case we’re focused squarely on the contents of the Striker Pack, Azure Striker Gunvolt, and its sequel, both originally released on the 3DS. If you’re unfamiliar with the series, the gameplay hook is a bit different than your usual fare. Rather than you sporting a powerful weapon that you’ll upgrade and then use to take out bad guys your weapon is quite weak. The quills it shoots, however, can then be used to deliver electricity from the field that you can create around you that will do the bulk of the damage. This makes for a far more “stick and move” style of play where you’ll need to get a clear shot to stick your enemy (up to 3 times for best effect) and then electrocute them as you try to stay clear of their attacks. It’s a nice and refreshing change. In many ways playing the original and the sequel back to back feels like a nice overall progression as the second picks up not long after the end of the first. Many of the base enemies and the general feel is roughly the same but there’s more refinement in the level design and, in particular, the boss battles continue to escalate nicely in challenge and overall craziness. The general format in a level of working on a variety of jumping and environmental puzzles while taking out bad guys, looking for special items that can be used to power yourself up further, and then facing off with a boss is familiar and satisfying. Keeping in mind these are two titles having been ported from the 3DS it’s a bit of a mixed bag. On the one hand it is nice that the cutscene elements and overlays have generally been redone with HD art so the presentation is excellent and attractive. On the other the core engine for the gameplay itself still shows its roots from a lower-resolution system so things can be blocky but at least these were extremely attractive games on the 3DS so you’re hardly slumming by any means. Characters are big, detailed, and generally look great, you’ll just still feel like you’re playing a ported game. If you’ve never indulged in the series until now this pack would be an excellent opportunity to do so. They definitely represent a change of pace on the system and have core gameplay unlike just about anything I’ve played. The action is fast and pretty frantic and taking down some of the games’ bosses can take some real effort. If you’ve been craving a platforming shooter the Striker Pack is worth a look! The unique attack style makes for a different feel in a platforming shooter As a ported game from the 3DS it is probably as attractive an example as you’ll find Big and satisfying boss fights and an upgrade system that encourages replay It looks good but still is obviously a port Some of the level design and asset re-use can make for a redundant feel in places The initial asking price may be a tad high, at least for buying digitally Review: Dead Synchronicity [ Nintendo Switch eShop ] While the Switch isn’t dominated by a classic Nintendo “kiddie” games that rival fanboys tend to cling to its games are generally, on a tonal level, not terribly dark or grim either. Even shooters like DOOM, with all of their sound and fury, are generally just violent but that isn’t the same as being disturbing. The closest I’ve seen to this point was This is the Police but even that story, with all of its corruption and seedy elements was still pretty familiar to anyone who has watched some crime movies or television shows. Dead Synchronicity is the first title on the Switch I’ve played that has gone into tougher territory, and though it doesn’t provide a satisfying ending (or, perhaps any ending at all) it does make for an unsettling journey. You’ll play the game as Michael, an amnesiac who has awoken to a world that has been altered by a catastrophic event called the “Great Wave”. Having been found and saved by a man named Rod, early on you’ll begin to get your bearings as you move around to find that you’re living in a refugee camp full of a variety of people who are either unsavory or in some way trying to maintain some level of dignity. You’ll soon find that Rod’s son has become infected and risks becoming discovered as one of “The Dissolved”, facing a horrific death either by the disease of when the cleaning squads discover and capture him. In order to help the man that saved your life you’ll then venture into the city to try to find a cure as well as to discover more about who you were. The adventure elements in the game that are driving the narrative come with what I’d consider the normal risks. The expectation is that in order to progress you’ll find certain items by searching every nook and cranny to then figure out how to make use of them. Over the course of playing most of the puzzles made general sense once I’d figured them out but sometimes there were obstacles to progress that felt a bit contrived or artificial as well. One thing that helps greatly is that if you hold down the shoulder button all of the “hot spots” in the area will light up, allowing you to at least know what can be either looked at or directly interacted with. Honestly without this I’m not positive I would have just randomly clicked in specific spots that looked a bit nondescript so it is an important feature. Overall there are a few oddities with the game worth noting. Perhaps most unusual of all is that the touchscreen isn’t used at all (even in menus), instead you’ll be moving around a cursor with the analog stick. This generally works just fine but it certainly feels like an opportunity missed with the Switch, taking away what would probably be the ideal way to play. Much more concerning, and perhaps being a disqualifier for some, is the fact that the more invested you are in the story and what’s happening the more aggravating it is when it abruptly ends, providing no satisfaction or resolution. Especially for a game with such a grim tone there being some positive to walk away with would have been nice, instead you just end up having more questions. Overall Dead Synchronicity is a solid point-and-click style adventure. The story is something unique, the setting is certainly unfamiliar, and the imagery and tone aren’t likely to be quickly forgotten. While the voice acting isn’t uniformly excellent for the most part it manages to help pull you into the world rather than being distracted by it and for this sort of game that’s a plus. Unfortunately the warning to people intrigued by the game’s premise cannot be overstated, even though the game is interesting be aware of what you’re buying into and that the story is very much unfinished. If you can overlook that and just want to enjoy the ride credit to the developers it does deliver something unique. A bleak and post-apocalyptic world to explore The voice acting generally helps pull you into the world While some puzzles can still be baffling the inclusion of a button that reveals hot spots is much appreciated The game essentially lacks a proper Third Act Some puzzles and roadblocks to progress can be a bit odd or baffling at times Lack of touchscreen support is a missed opportunity Review: Ginger - Beyond the Crystal [ Nintendo Switch eShop ] There’s no doubt that releasing a platformer, specifically a 3D platformer, on a Nintendo system is a bit of a nerve-wracking thought. Competing against the likes of Mario and other classic franchises that have graced Nintendo systems over the years generally isn’t going to be pretty. Ginger: Beyond the Crystal has sought to make a mark on the Switch but even without Mario Odyssey present it stumbles a bit in execution. Never quite sure whether it wants to be a hand-holding friendly-for-all-ages title or something a bit more challenging I could never quite figure out who it is targeting. Starting with the basics there’s some lore about the world you find yourself in and why you’re on your quest to restore the blue crystals. I appreciate the effort but honestly its attempts like these that make me reflect on the fact that perhaps Mario always trying to save the Princess from Bowser may be just fine even if predictable, it allows you to just get to the action. Once you get through the training wheel stage you’ll be off to the hub world of sorts and then on to the action. The way things work, I’ll admit, is a little odd. In the overworld itself you’ll generally work to try to restore the ruined places you encounter. You’ll do this with various supplies you can find around the world but also by completing small quests. These are generally pretty basic and involve retrieving items or defeating a few bad guys. As combat is extremely basic (you’ll either combo punch, dash punch, or do a strangely slow jump attack punch) this isn’t often challenging. By restoring buildings you’ll make progress in making everyone happy and if you build specific variations of the dwellings you’ll unlock little customized appearance pieces in the shop. Getting to the business of action you’ll unlock opportunities to go into portals that will give you a somewhat 2.5D action platforming level to complete. Within these levels there will be a mix of enemies, traps, timed challenges, and some simple problems to solve. Exploration is pretty limited, though there are sometimes opportunities to find some hidden supplies behind objects or on top of things if you keep an eye out. There will also often be elements tied to a specific suit you’ll need to find in the game, like a mouse suit that will make you shrink or a lizard suit that will let you work with fire. This helps to encourage you to return to the levels later and tries to keep things a bit more interesting but aside from these sorts of obstacles strewn about the suits don’t have a further role to play. Once you complete these 2.5D platforming levels a red crystal will appear for you to jump in and then you’ll work to complete a more complex 3D platforming level with rotating platforms and other trappings as well. While you can see the ideas that the game is shooting for it’s in the execution that things can get sketchy. One moment it feels like the game is guiding you by hand and the next you’ll hit things like minecarts or other contraptions that are unusually tricky to get moving during a timed challenge. While there’s an overworld with various things to do it all feels pretty thin and underdeveloped on the whole, making me wish more time had just been into making the platforming action a bit more compelling. In the 3D levels I also had a few cases where I clipped through the platforms and died, which was also a bit disappointing. None of this utterly cripples the game, it just makes a bit harder to appreciate fully. Ginger: Beyond the Crystal isn’t necessarily a bad game, it just struggles to work very well in most areas. In general it is all light-hearted and fun, it just feels like it needed a bit more time and expertise to help fully realize its potential. If you come in understanding its shortcomings it should be a reasonably enjoyable experience though. Some good, though generally not terribly original, ideas Generally decent level design A distinctive art style Some technical issues with clipping in 3D platforming levels The overworld elements are under-developed Some odd difficulty spikes at times usually tied to finnicky control mechanics Load screens and times can be annoying Review: Kid Tripp [ Nintendo Switch eShop ] There’s something to be said for simplicity at times, allowing you to just plug in and play something that is challenging without taxing your brain. Repetition, getting into a rhythm, and feeling the flow of a level until you get it just right. This is the central allure of a game like Kid Tripp. While you could certainly get lucky and get through one of its levels the first time you see it, the more likely case is that you’ll spend some time getting to know a bit of frustration before finally feeling the elation of getting it all right! If I were to characterize the game I’d say it is a mix of an endless runner (in the sense that you can’t control your forward movement) and a platformer. You’ll only be able to jump and throw rocks and what you’ll need to do is make the most of that in order to make your way through the various levels and worlds. You’ll be able to stop yourself on stepped platforms but in general there’s no pause button, you’ve moving and you need to try to keep yourself alive. What keeps things interesting is that in each of the game’s 4 worlds there is a theme and that will lead to some variations in your enemies as well as some of the things you’ll need to do. In particular I loved World 2’s minecart sequence even as it managed to kill me quite a bit. There are certainly bound to be sections you’ll struggle with but at the same time it never feels particularly unfair since the issue is just how you execute your jumps and figure out what patterns you need to get into. The only control issue I had with the game at times was that I didn’t have a great feel for where the edge of platforms were, and would tend to be just slightly behind when trying to make a big jump. Something you can adjust to, it just didn’t quite click for me initially. The other inevitable issue is likely that there’s not a great deal of content in the game. Once you knock out the 20 levels in the game you’re pretty well done, though you could certainly try to improve your runs or try to get all of the coins in every level for a challenge. All that said, the very low price of the game seems to make it all fair, just be aware that this won’t be something you’ll likely play forever by any means. Kid Tripp isn’t a game that will likely stick with you for long but that isn’t to say it can’t be a fun and light distraction for a reasonable price of admission. Its light style and classic gameplay are a welcome departure from much more serious fare on the Switch and yet once you get into the groove it tends to suck you in while it has you with a “I know I can get it on the next run” hook. As long as you understand the game’s limits it is a solid bargain of a budget title on the eShop. A light style “Just one more run” kind of hook Pure platforming challenge Only 20 levels across 4 Worlds Over too soon Review: Crimsonland [ Nintendo Switch eShop ] If you’ve been following the saga of 10 Tons shooters you’ll be quite familiar with the level of quality they bring to the table. There’s no mistaking it, they know how to make a quality twin-stick shooter. While the other 3 already available on the Switch have tended to change things up a bit by incorporating roguelike elements, mission-based play, and time-distortion mechanics now get ready for something decidedly more old school. Eschewing the trappings of genre-blending and higher-minded play Crimsonland delivers an adrenaline shot of pure twin-stick shooting carnage… and it is glorious! To start things out you’ll want to work your way through the Quest Mode, which will allow you to unlock everything in the game and generally walk you through the various weapons and perks step by step. This is important because the game has a staggering number of both and you’ll want to know which ones best suit your style and will help you survive over the long haul. Guns with a lot of flash can be fun but elements like reload times and how they do their damage need to be taken into account. Similarly with perks you’ll only be given a few to choose from at a time and which ones you run with are vital to your survival. Once you’ve completed the the initial gauntlet of levels and have unlocked everything the game has to offer you can then get down to business properly in Survival Mode. The reason you’ll want to complete Quest mode first is that you can only use what you’ve unlocked there and some of the late perks and weapons are well worth your time. Though there are several flavors available my attention was generally drawn to the vanilla Survival and Blitz modes. To be complete Rush gives you only an Assault Rifle to try to survive with (Ha!), Weapon Picker essentially gives you just one clip of ammo per weapon so you’ll need to quickly get to anything you can to stay alive, and Nukefism gives you no weapons at all, just an ability to run and hope to get to the next power-up to eke out a few more moments before your inevitable demise. Those are decent variants but the focus should generally be on Survival and Blitz. They’re generally the same but in Blitz things simply escalate far more quickly. Both are pure twin-stick shooting goodness though, challenging you to take what you’re given and to stay alive as long as you can. You’ll get a choice of perks every time you level up and you’ll want to get to know them well because the right combination will give you far more staying power, even if there’s no end aside from death. In terms of criticisms most of my issues arose in handheld mode and are a matter of scale and perhaps tastes. Some of the weapon icons at that size are hard to differentiate from one another but the bigger issue I had was with the aiming reticle that also gives you information on how much ammo you have left. I’d have loved an option to either minimize it or perhaps make it more transparent, in handheld mode when things got intense I often found it a bit too distracting. Aside from those small thoughts the game is just a monster at what it does though. While it won’t win points for its complex and challenging story or trying to push boundaries Crimsonland is a thoroughly satisfying arcade-style twin-stick shooter that I will likely return to periodically for quite some time. While it isn’t graphically very impressive and the sound is relatively limited there’s no denying the power of its gameplay. It is adrenaline-fueled, brutally challenging, over-the-top, and should be considered a must-have for shooter fans! Great solo, even more insane with up to 3 friends! A preposterous array of insane weaponry An extensive list of perks makes for some nice variety If you’re not looking for something only setting out to be a pure arcade-style shooter it isn’t for you The presentation, overall, is a bit dated In handheld mode scale presents some minor limited issues Review: Stick it to the Man! [ Nintendo Switch eShop ] With so many games available everywhere, and even early on with the Switch, it can be hard to differentiate yourself. Some do it with graphics, some with novel gameplay concepts, some with a dash of insanity… and then there are some that manage to do all of the above. While the core game experience is mostly a platforming adventure Stick it to the Man is perhaps one of the funniest and most unusual games I’ve played to date on the Switch, or just about anywhere. Your main character in this adventure is Ray, a relatively unassuming and ordinary man who gets involved in some extraordinary circumstances. A freak accident causes a container to be dropped from the sky and it embeds what he calls a pink “spaghetti arm” in his head. He quickly finds that it can both be used to manipulate the environment around him and even read people’s minds. Unfortunately it seems that secret agent types are also aware of this accident and are keen to capture him, setting up your 10 Chapter adventure. The gameplay, overall, is actually pretty simple in principle. You’ll enter an area, explore, read the minds of the people and things that are around, look for clues and hidden spaces, and then work to figure out how to progress by essentially satisfying a chain of events. To resolve Situation A you’ll first need to help with Situation B, but to do that you’ll need to get involved with Situation C. What makes the entire experience worth it, though, is how much crazy fun it is to get involved with some of these very unusual characters. The thoughts of most of the people you run into are positively weird and often practically laugh out loud funny. There are strange cultural references, shots fired at video games, and all sorts of random things going on with people. This extends quite a bit into the solutions you’ll end up finding to most problems as well and these also can be quite funny, though at times they can be unorthodox to the point they’re not immediately obvious either. In order to drive the humor and quirky style the game’s production values are absolutely superb. The visual style has a sort of cardboard cut-out appearance and each character is drawn in a somewhat Tim Burton-esque style as well. Layer on some great music and top-notch voice acting and the adventure is very easy to get engrossed in as you work your way through this motley collection of weirdos and often bizarre situations. This all generally works well both play mode though I did find some details like the curled edges of the scenery you need to pull on to reveal hidden areas hard to make out at times without scanning through a second time more thoroughly while in handheld mode. If you’re looking for something very different to just dive into for a great time and some laughs for several hours there’s nothing on the platform that delivers quite like Stick it to the Man. Full of quirky charm, unexpected situations, and truly bizarre characters it’s just a breath of fresh air and not quite like anything I’ve played in quite some time. While the puzzles generally aren’t very complex they do show a great deal of creativity and can have you chuckling along the way, it is definitely a game far more about the experience than the solutions and accomplishes what it set out to do superbly. Visually polished and distinctive Superb voice acting Full of strange situations and even more bizarre characters Though satisfying the overall runtime isn’t terribly long, depending on how quickly you solve the puzzles in the game’s 10 chapters Since the solutions are often a bit unusual some can be tough to work through (usually meaning you need to keep searching for something you haven’t found yet) Interview with Christopher Kassulke of HandyGames on Aces of the Luftwaffe Squadron [ Nintendo Switch eShop ] For anyone who hasn't already read my review of the new vertically-scrolling shooter Aces of the Luftwaffe Squadron I went from knowing next to nothing about it to a major fan in the span of the first 30 minutes. It is the first title released on the Switch by HandyGames and hopefully a strong indicator of what's to come! I was able to get some time from the company's Founder, and CEO, Christopher Kassulke to discuss the game, the industry, and their future plans for the platform. Tradition demands that we start with the basics. What is your "elevator pitch" for Squadron? CK: Aces of the Luftwaffe Squadron is a classic Shoot'em Up with a fantastic co-op Multiplayer mode for a very fair price which we released exclusively on Nintendo Switch. We believe that this game fills a gap for Shmup fans who want to enjoy something new with a crazy action, full voice over, and fantastic sound. There was previously an Aces of the Luftwaffe, is the distinction of Squadron that it supports co-op gameplay for up to 4 people or were there other significant changes as well? CK: Aces of the Luftwaffe is a game back from the days of Feature Phones. We later developed a new version for Smartphone which we also ported to PC and Consoles. Two years ago we started developing Aces of the Luftwaffe Squadron as a sequel to that game around the time Nintendo started talking about the Switch. We totally fell in love with the Switch and we wanted to release this game first and exclusive on that platform as we saw a need for cool multiplayer action. On Smartphones you cannot offer such an experience that you can and will play with up to four players offline. As we are no more limited to the Smartphone platform we could implement way more like total voice over which brings, for sure, something in the game you do not expect for that price point. Besides that we also implement completely new graphics. The layer system we use is totally new. In total it feels and plays totally different the the old version. If someone say it is just a port I can say they are complete wrong. While my personal favorite vertically-scrolling shooter was 1943, what classic shooters would your team say they derived inspiration for in making the game? CK: I think we all grew up with good shooters like Galaga, Gradius, Star Goose, R-Type, and 1943 but the key for us was not to have another one we wanted to bring back the experience to play together. The best experience for a lot of gamers were the times when you played a game together with friends, families and worked together to beat a hard game. The current games we see are so easy with no challenges anymore. In Aces of the Luftwaffe Squadron you will fail, you will fail a lot and you will still have the "just one more time" or "just one more level" feeling. We really invested and we will still invest a lot of money in the game itself. What impresses me most with the game is its variety. Rather than simply throwing waves of fighters at you, pretty well every level has a variation to keep things interesting whether it is one of squad members having issues, the type of mission you're engaged in, or a combination of both at times. I take it this was a central goal from the design phase? CK: You are one of the few editors who realized the small details. We wanted to tell a story and implement different kind of side missions. My favorite ones are to protect the planes with refugees, rescue soldiers, sneak thru the night without getting spotted, or when you have to support your troops on the ground. The issues with the characters was a crazy idea from our game designer and you will like it by playing multiplayer as you will protect your comrades or be happy when your wingmen gets crazy and kill every enemy by no damage so the hinderance can be a plus sometimes. An element that throws additional variety into the mix is the upgrade system. There are far more upgrades than you're likely ever going to be able to amass credit for (unless you're simply playing the game past beating it to try to do precisely that). I take it this was also a design goal, to force people into making some decisions on whether to go with offense, defense, buffs, etc? CK: You can change your skills during the game of course and again it is about team play. If you think you only have to upgrade the main character it will not be good at all. You have to push your team in total thats why you are the Squadron. For example the repair skills are extremely important as this will save you a lot of extra lifes in the end. We're planning some additional DLC in the future as well and I am sure you will love what else will come. I really like that as you go we along you're able to unlock new aircraft and then change up which fighters in your group, and are even able to assign 2 members to the same craft. This adds yet another layer of customization and choice. Even having beaten the game I still haven't unlocked 2 of the craft though, what must I do to get it all?!? CK: The different Airplanes have different skills so you need to find out how to use them best or partly change the Planes after a Mission to beat an Ace even easier. How to get them all? Do you think I will tell you this? Never! Find it out and share it if you want ;) The art design and voice acting in the game really help to give all of the characters a sense of personality, but then with the bosses their ships are also all very unique. What was the process your creative team went through to try to ensure everything would have its own signature look and feel? CK: Developing games is fun! The team came up with the ideas, of course, and the first Boss fight is what you expect but later when you play against the Lokführer or the Captain you will say "WTF!" and when you hear them talking you will have a big smile on your face. Ok, perhaps the team had too much beer as well ;) For example we did all the voice recording in-house and it was extreme funny. Even I had a role in the game and it was damn frustrating for me to fly against "my" boss several times and it took me over two hours to beat him. ;) If Squadron finds success on the Switch would you say there's a possibility of them taking to the air again? As is noted as you finish the campaign evil never dies... From the looks of your company's overall catalog you've got a lot going on in a variety of directions including mobile, the other consoles, and even some VR. What has drawn your attention to the Switch specifically? CK: The evil never die sounds like the story goes on. We believe the game is a console game so perhaps we will bring it to other consoles or even the PC later. Will mobile be an option? Not as it is for sure as multiplayer will not work like that. The game is too big the game is a premium game and on mobile everyone expect F2P games... So lets see what will come next. In terms of structure are you more a publisher or a development company or a strong combination of both? CK: We are one of the biggest Indies out there. We develop our own games internally with our own money and publish them on our own. HandyGames is 18 yrs old that's a lot and if we would develop bad games we would not be around anymore! With the developers you deal with what would you say is the buzz on Switch specifically and do you see a lot of them trying to shift to developing on the platform over others? CK: You have to develop games that fit on each platform. We believe the Switch have potential and specific genres are still missing content there. EA announced they will no longer invest in the Switch. In my opinion thats a failure. But using games from PC or other consoles and squeeze them into the Switch is harder. For us it is awesome as our core platform was mobile before and now we have more freedom and we can build stuff we could not before. The Switch is a new platform so it is the new Wild Wild West. Some devs think its a new Goldrush but every new platform is a long-term investment. Developing a game like Aces of the Luftwaffe Squadron cost a lot. Recent announcements are showing you all making a substantial investment in moving games to the Switch in the next year from a variety of genres. Do you have any that are coming soon you wanted to give a little extra info on? CK: We announced we will bring some of our brands and IPs over to the Switch. Saying that some religious anti-mobile guys think we will do a dirty quick and easy port. I can tell you this will not happen as it will not work. Our next release will be Townsmen for the Nintendo Switch and this is a great building up strategy game. We are currently implementing a completely new UI, new HD graphics, and a lot of feature changes so the game fit to the Switch perfectly. We also do not plan to release any AAA games or charge 60 bucks for it but we want to develop awesome and funny games that players can enjoy on this very unique platform and as we announced we love to bring co-op multiplayer to the platform. I wanted to thank Christopher for his time, his thoughts, and his candor. Aces of the Luftwaffe Squadron is currently available in the Nintendo Switch eShop and is highly recommended if you love classic shooters. Be on the lookout for more from HandyGames as well in the future! Review: Letter Quest Remastered [ Nintendo Switch eShop ] While the hardcore audience has been getting treated to some great indie variety the Switch is a platform built to support many tastes, casual gamers included. Many of the best games in this space were either created or refined by the folks at PopCap and one of their titles I enjoyed the most was called Bookworm. Letter Quest Remastered reminds me of that title in many regards, and actually shares quite a lot in common with another title that recently released called Spellspire. Though they are very similar there are some nuances to how they play and that may be crucial to which is better suited to your tastes. Starting with the basics Remastered is a word game / RPG hybrid where you’ll be trying to flex your vocabulary in order to defeat monsters that get in your way. As you progress you’ll be able to go to the shop and choose from what ends up being a pretty impressive, if not a little overwhelming, variety of gear. These include new weapons, books, tile sets, and all sorts of things that will help you change the game’s appearance, enhance specific abilities, or give you special bonuses for using specific letters or combinations of letters. For variety, aside from being able to repeat the same stages at higher difficulty, there are boss levels, special stages that are a bit like classic Hangman that will give you a mid-level bonus, and monsters that will create a pretty wide variety of status effects on your board to complicate matters. In addition random letters will sometimes crystallize to entice you to figure out how to get them in a word since they’ll give you a variety of buffs that could be the difference in whether you survive or not. These all keep the sense of the grind to more of a minimum and also can require some tough decisions and strategy along the way. Contrasting it with the other game in the eShop that is in the same vein, Spellspire, while they’re both well-made and share many ideas there are a few critical differences. The first big difference is in how the challenge is applied. Where Spellspire uses a timer to keep you thinking quickly and on your toes Letter Quest may have a pretty lenient timer for completing challenges but won’t have you scrambling to complete words before your enemy’s next attack. Instead the status effects on the letters on your board, or even bosses that will have conditions like only words beginning in vowels causing them damage are where you need to be focused. This makes everything play out more strategically where Spellspire is more tied to action. Reinforcing that sentiment further is the fact that the upgrades, specifically the books, in Letter Quest get pretty specific in giving you bonuses for things like using the letter E, using double letters, and more. While the bonuses aren’t necessarily substantial they do influence how you may play and can give you the edge you need to be win sometimes. Due to removal of the timer’s urgency I also think Letter Quest is better suited to people who anticipate playing the game more in docked mode as well just because it is slower to use a controller than the touchscreen in these sorts of games. With all of this in mind I’m pleased to say that Letter Quest Remastered does a pretty fine job of carving out a place for itself in the lineup of Switch gamers looking for something more casual. If you like to get out your thesaurus and flex your vocabulary while having to contend with the obstacles your enemies love to throw in your path it does a fine job. What helps distinguish it is the level of strategy you’ll be able to employ while doing so. Layers of strategic components help enhance the vocabulary challenge Lacking the urgency of an attack timer it is well-suited to play in docked mode Some creative higher-level challenges with some monsters and bosses to further ensure you’ll need to work for some victories For some, the upgrade choices and variety could be a bit overwhelming The UI can be a bit cumbersome in spots Pricier than the comparable Spellspire Review: Battle Chef Brigade [ Nintendo Switch eShop ] While I obviously enjoy a ton of much more intense genres in my gaming I’ll admit to a weakness for the simple joys of quality Match-3 play. What has been thrilling over the years is to see that base gameplay used in new and creative ways with the likes of the Puzzle Quest titles and more recently the superb Ironcast. Battle Chef Brigade has now managed to again raise the bar for what a Match-3 can do, blending it with light action, a solid RPG storyline, and ample opportunities for strategy as well. In the game you’ll take the role of Mina, “The Iron Stomach”, as she decides to run away from home and pursue her dreams of becoming a member of the Brigade, a group of elite hunter/chefs who slay monsters and create culinary masterpieces from them. What starts as a seemingly straight-forward story of her journey to becoming an elite chef very nicely takes some turns along the way though, and even when you’ve earned your place in the Brigade you’ll only be ⅔ of the way through the story. Even better, it is the elements of the overall story that keep adding dimensions to the gameplay to make this so much more than just a Match-3 title, with layers of strategy that make it memorable and challenging. What the main story does is to constantly walk you through each element of the game step by step so what could otherwise seem overwhelming makes sense. You’ll learn how to use a variety of pans and equipment that can help you cook certain dishes faster, deal with flawed ingredients, or cut out undesirable elements. The strategic component of the game then comes in with the fact that you can only use 3 pieces of said equipment when you get to a cooking challenge and that means you’ll need to find the balance of equipment that works for you and you won’t be able to have everything you could want to make life simpler. This makes the already-great story an excellent vehicle for additionally giving you a number of choices along the way, helping you understand and refine all aspects of your game from hunting to preparing food, and introducing you to a cast of some quirky characters like the owner of the inn who continues to mistake you for an orc boy for some reason. The focus of all of that preparation and training is to put you on the path to success when you hit the cooking challenges and they’re pretty much all I’d hoped for when the game was announced. In matches that are obviously inspired by the Iron Chef format you will face off against another competitor looking to impress the judges, all with their own personal preferences in tastes, with your mastery of cooking while incorporating the match’s secret ingredient. Early on this will tend to be a fruit or vegetable (though some you’ll need to look for carefully) but the further into the game you get the more challenging things will get as you need to get ingredients like Hydra or Dragon. This is where the action-oriented elements of the game come into play and it can be challenging, though again you’ll have your pick of many options in how you enhance yourself in these modes. Will you load up on different attacks or stat boosters, or can you afford to make room for improving the size of your bag for collecting ingredients so you don’t need to run back to stock your pantry as often? Getting taken down by these beasts thankfully just results in you dropping your ingredients and losing time but you’ll need a strategy for taking out some of these tougher beasts and will likely want and need to show some patience to be successful as well. I should note that there are additional modes outside of the main quest that will help you continue playing with Challenges for matching and marksmanship as well as a Daily Challenge that will pit you against an opponent while giving you a different random set of equipment every day (all with leaderboards). So even when you complete the pretty beefy main story (or simply need a break from it) there’s still a reason to come back and get your cook on for quite some time. While I had high hopes for Battle Chef Brigade what stands out for me is how much they’ve exceeded my expectations on pretty well every level. I came in hoping for something in a true indie spirit that was fresh, quirky, and utterly unique. What I got was a lengthy and well-made story complete with some great characters, challenging and varied gameplay, and a strategic component that forces you to make some tough decisions in how you want to approach your battles. If you either have any affinity at all for great Match-3 play or have an open mind to trying something completely odd but that works very very well in execution I have few reservations with recommending it. Masterfully blends elements of Match-3, action, and strategy A great story full of some odd and entertaining characters that sets up the challenging elements of Match-3 play The Daily Challenge serves as a great reason to continue to fire it up to compete for scores on the leaderboard Shows many signs of a developer not content to ride a great idea to success but instead that is instead swinging for the fences Some of the Challenge modes aren’t likely to be played very much Review: Aces of the Luftwaffe Squadron [ Nintendo Switch eShop ] While there have been quite a number of shooters on the Switch of several varieties, as well as obviously the classic Neo Geo shooters brought to the system by Hamster, there hasn’t yet been a modern take on the classic arcade shooter… that is, until now. Aces of the Luftwaffe Squadron is here to fill that void and has done so with tons of both charm and style. Rather than simply filling in a gap in the line-up Squadron has absolutely thrown down a gauntlet on how to modernize this classic arcade genre in the best ways possible. Starting with the basics you’ll find yourself in an alternative version of history where at the conclusion of World War 2 a top secret German squad, The Aces of the Luftwaffe, has counter-attacked the mainland USA. Together with your ragtag squad on your wings you’ll need to work to stop them one by one and save our country. While it’s all a bit silly I’ll give credit to Squadron for keeping things interesting. Each member of your squad has certain problems and limitations that will arise over the course of the game’s 25 stages and these lend some base variety. When you throw in the game’s 5 bosses who are filled to the brim with personality and very different attack styles it gets even better. Finally, when you have missions with a variety of objectives that include escorting other ships, refueling runs, and a creative stealth operation pretty well every stage has something fresh to offer. What helps to further amp up the challenge and fun are the varying paths you can choose to follow when upgrading your units. Each pilot has special abilities you can unlock by using upgrades you earn when leveling up, completing secondary mission objectives, or generally by clearing the majority of enemies since there’s a hidden credit associated with a random unit in each level. Since the latter stages of the game can get quite challenging you’ll probably want to return to previous missions to grind a bit for these upgrades since they can substantially change how you play. Essentially all of them have something tempting about them so you’ll simply have to pick a course and hope for the best but as you unlock more abilities you can begin to feel quite powerful. This is further helped along through the ability to additionally unlock different planes and you can then change up which aircraft you and your crew fly in order to improve your bullet spread, survivability, or even maneuverability depending on how you configure things. If you have some friends to play with locally they can even take the role of your wingmen as well so up to 4 people can play cooperatively at once to really kick some Nazi butt. While I would normally devote this point in the review to downsides there are actually very few that come to mind. Some of the load times can be a bit long, and the lack of an ability to skip all types of cutscenes would have been nice but these are pretty small concerns considering how incredible the game is otherwise. In particular I absolutely love the game’s boss characters for being so weird, wacky, and full of distinct personalities. The voice acting for each of them actually helped pull me in even further and it all makes the level of polish on the game impressive, greatly overshadowing any nitpicks. I am absolutely in love with this game even though until I reviewed it I had heard almost nothing about it and that’s simply criminal. While I’ve played quite a number of modern arcade-style shooters I don’t think as a total package any of them have impressed me as much as Squadron has. Every aspect of the game feels like it was put in place with both skill and love and I’d say if you have ever enjoyed arcade shooters at all Aces of the Luftwaffe Squadron is well worth picking up! I think it has earned its place at the top of the genre and serves as the bar other arcade-style shooters will be measured by. Outstanding varied play from stage to stage Challenging but also doesn’t overdo it since with some grinding your team abilities will begin to help you conquer things you previously found too difficult Absolutely terrific production values from the art to the stage music to the voice acting Some of the load times can feel a little long There are some sequences you can’t skip even if you’ve seen them before You’ll likely need to level grind some to get to the end Review: Green Game - Timeswapper [ Nintendo Switch...

__label__cc	0.740885	0.259115	The Right Is Utterly Terrified Of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez If I haven't made this clear yet, I am absolutely enamored with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who I like to refer to as "the AOC." Get it? Feel free to steal that. It's so much faster to type than her full name so I want it to become standard. Anyway, watching the right devolve into a complete meltdown state over AOC, the Green New Deal, and the general push to the left headed by the younger generations of Millennials and Gen Z, is deeply satisfying. But it's also alarming how much money they're already pouring into attacking the AOC and other progressives and we need to be ready to defend them Few things effectively communicate the power we’ve built in fighting dark money & anti-worker policies like billionaire-funded groups blowing tons of cash on wack billboards (this one is funded by the Mercers). (PS fact that it’s in Times Sq tells you this isn’t for/by NYers.) https://t.co/B4QTPi1r2k — Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) February 21, 2019 The Mercer family, as the AOC points out in a follow-up tweet, are a bunch of ultra rich fucks who are a part of what they call the "Job Creators Network" (insert image of someone making the jackoff gesture here) that has been "extensively promoted" by Breitbart. They've since put up even more billboards (yes, since fucking yesterday) and the right wing media machine is red-lining itself to push the most ridiculous lies about the Green New Deal. I've seen clips of Fox News pundits like Hannity literally claiming that it means no one gets to own cows and that it means all of our buildings will be torn down. In reality, it's a non-binding resolution that outlines a number of suggestions for an appropriately aggressive strategy against catastrophic climate change such as changing what we feed cows, citing studies showing that giving them seaweed reduces their methane emissions (yes, cow farts) by like 95%. Same amount of cows, but less butt stink. Somehow, over at Fox News, that translates to banning all cows forever. I don't know where they got the tearing down all the buildings thing. Meanwhile, the Bezos-owned Washington Post has already run four negative articles about Bernie Sanders since he announced his 2020 campaign. Unless they've run more since yesterday. In 2016, they ran a total of 16 negative stories against him. Will they do 19 this year? At this rate, I'm guessing the answer is no. They won't stop at 19. The four articles they ran in two days are all trying to push the narrative that Bernie Sanders is no big deal, with one even specifically pushing the narrative that the $6 million he raised in 24 hours is whatevs! The author bets that Joe Biden would totally out-raise Bernie, ignoring the fact that Biden totally takes corporate donations while Bernie absolutely does not. This is all part of a reaction by the rich and their bought and paid for Republican party against a sudden and very popular push to the left and support for everything that threatens to loosen their stranglehold on the rest of us, our lives, and our futures. It means we're doing exactly the right thing. Keep fighting, keep speaking up, keep pushing back. They should be afraid of us.

Technology and Truth in the Age of Digital Witnessing. #BelieveWomen: Believability in an Age of Post-Truth (December 2019) Professor Sarah Banet-Weiser will be giving a public lecture in Melbourne at Monash University on Thursday the 5th of December. The contemporary ‘post-truth’ era —misinformation, disinformation, outright lies in a digital age—is proclaimed to be a moment of crisis. It is seen as an affront to fundamental, and indeed, scientific claims of being and knowing. But authenticity, truth, believability: these are historically messy concepts, which have always depended on the actors who have been authorized by the mantle of veracity in their understandings of the world and of themselves. Women, people of color, non-normative people have lived in an age of post-truth for decades, indeed, centuries, precisely because they are rarely believed to be speaking the truth. In this lecture, I want to trouble the distinctions between “truth,” “authenticity,” and “believability” from a specifically gendered perspective. I interrogate the recent manifestation of the “post-truth,” and argue that the truth has always depended on those who are authorized to define it. That is, the concern around post-truth has become urgent when those who have defined the truth historically—primarily white, privileged men—begin to witness their truths eroding. This is also a question of belief and its historical and contemporary gendered and racialized contours. Who is privileged enough to be believed, and to be in possession of “evidence”? This lecture will consider the contemporary conjuncture of post-truth, believability, and gender identity, and theorise the kinds of subject positions that take hold and are given authority in particular ways in the contemporary moment. 5.30pm - 7pm Venue: Performance Space, The Wheeler Centre, 176 Little Lonsdale Street, Melbourne Professor Gangadharen speaks at the Platform Cooperativism Conference at the New School.(November 2019) The talk was entitled: Our Data Bodies; A politics of Refusal.

Neoliberal Visions: Exploring Gendered Adverts and Identities in the Palestinian West Bank in collaboration with Birzeit University. (November 2019) LSE PI: Dr Polly Withers from the Department of Media and Communications, and Co-PI: Dr Rema Hammami. Duration: August 2019- April 2021. Walking through Ramallah, it is hard not to notice the commercial advertising billboards, TV screens, and posters that line the city’s streets. They frequently feature bright glossy images of young nuclear families – always a man and a woman, often with light skin – gazing longingly at ‘dream’ homes. These materials document how capital and aspiration are increasingly enfolded into everyday space in post-Oslo Palestine. They particularly show how neoliberal ‘reforms’ have transformed Palestine’s political economy over (at least) the past thirty years. Indeed, Ramallah today embodies the complexities wrought by the Oslo process more than any other space in Palestine: its inhabitants paradoxically live under a colonial present shaped by neoliberal capitalism. While recent works consider how such shifts reformulate the political economy of occupied Palestine, and reroute the struggle for national liberation, rarely are the visual cultures that mark, embody, and communicate such political and economic changes centralised as sites of meaning-making.Even less forthcoming is work that explores how such pictorial representations cultivate shifts in gender and sexuality norms. This project thus offers a different interpretation of the West Bank’s neoliberal order that moves beyond these traditional theoretical straightjackets. Using visual and qualitative methods, it foregrounds both the production and consumption of gendered advertisements as a way to explore how neoliberal culture constructs gendered subjectivity. It broadly asks how transforming forms of political economy, social relations, and cultural practices relate to changing modes of gender and sexualities, identities, desires, and emotions in contemporary Palestine. This project forms part of the Academic Collaboration with Arab Universities Programme, funded by the Emirates Foundation. The Media Is Biased Against Jeremy Corbyn – but Does That Even Matter in This Election? - Professor Bart Cammaerts writes for Novara Media (November 2019) One of the main arguments for claiming that the mainstream media is not that relevant any longer, is the emergence and profuse use of social media by all political actors, enabling them to disintermediate – to cut out the mediating journalist and establish direct channels of communication between the politician and the electorate.

Presented by Sonia Livingstone, Mariya Stoilova, Rishita Nandagiri LSE LIFE Workspace 4 How is our data shared and used in the digital environment? What are the risks and how can we protect our privacy online? Over the past year we have been talking to children, parents and educators about online data and privacy as part of our ICO-funded project "Children's data and privacy online: growing up in a digital age". We found that children are becoming aware of the commercial and institutional uses of their data and they care about their privacy, but there are important gaps in their media literacy and digital skills. Children often turn to their parents and teachers for guidance but adults also struggle to understand the complex digital environment and to know what to advise children. To promote children's understanding we developed an online privacy toolkit.

New book co-edited by Shani Orgad Caring in Crisis? Humanitarianism, the Public and NGOs By Irene Bruna Seu and Shani Orgad With commentaries from Alison Carlman, Leigh Dayness, Paul Hoggett, Monika Krause, Sonia Livingstone, Glen Tarman Drawing on an original UK-wide study of public responses to humanitarian issues and how NGOs communicate them, this timely book provides the first evidence-based psychosocial account of how and why people respond or not to messages about distant suffering. The book highlights what NGOs seek to achieve in their communications and explores how their approach and hopes match or don’t match what the public wants, thinks and feels about distant suffering. Irene Bruna Seu is Reader in the Department of Psychosocial Studies at Birkbeck, University of London, UK, and a Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist. Shani Orgad is Associate Professor in the Department of Media and Communications, London School of Economics and Political Science, UK. “This volume presents cutting edge multi-method research which will contribute greatly to our understanding of strategies that can successfully motivate bystanders, NGOS, and governments to act in positive ways about humanitarian issues. This carefully-designed volume offers a careful, incisive analysis and impressively includes essays by both influential academics and advocates. A first-rate book!” - Alison Dundes Renteln, Professor of Political Science, University of Southern California, USA) Click here for a review from Paul Vanags, Head of Public Fundraising, Oxfam GB, UK The Culture Secretary has commissioned Professor Sonia Livingstone, Professor Joanne Davidson and Dr Jo Bryce to provide up to date evidence of how young people use the internet, the dangers they face, and the gaps that exist in keeping them safe. The report will contribute to the Internet Safety Strategy aimed at making Britain the safest country in the world for children and young people to be online. The new cross-Government drive is being led by Culture Secretary Karen Bradley MP on behalf of the Prime Minister with a green paper expected in summer 2017. The report will be an updated version of this 2012 literature review produced for the UK Council for Child Internet Safety (UKCCIS) Children's Online Activities: Risks and Safety. Professor Livingstone commented: “It’s really important that the UK’s new Internet Safety Strategy is grounded in solid evidence about children’s online risks and safety. We are now reviewing all the latest studies we can find, to counter some of the panicky headlines, put the risks into perspective, and guide the optimal mix of actions from government, industry, schools and parents.” We are delighted to announce the Rankin Frost Scholarship for the MSc in Strategic Communications.

Sonia Livingstone receives new funding for Maximising children’s online opportunities and minimising risks (MOMRO) Sonia Livingstone and Mariya Stoilova have recently been awarded a grant from the LSE Knowledge Exchange Fund for working on Maximising children’s online opportunities and minimising risks for children around the world (MOMRO). This LSE funding will allow them to collaborate with colleagues from UNICEF Office of Research – Innocenti and with partners from Argentina, Montenegro, Serbia, South Africa, and the Philippines to extend and deepen the knowledge exchange and impact (KEI) from the Global Kids Online research project. MOMRO will involve developing a KEI toolkit for the GKO online platform with existing and new partners specifically designed to maximise opportunities and minimise risks online for children around the world. Global Kids Online is attracting considerable interest from states, private sector and NGOs, and the pilot research in four countries has already informed the development of national policy and practice. Following the launch of the research toolkit in November 2016, it is vital to sustain and extend the project capacity for cross-national knowledge exchange among present and new partners and to embed the growing evidence base within policy and practice. MOMRO will aim to harness the international potential of the growing evidence-based and child rights approach to maximising opportunities and minimising risks in a fast-expanding, globalising digital environment. The new funding will be used to exploit the KEI potential of just-completed research, running concurrently with expansion of the research to support the translation of the emerging evidence base into effective policy and child rights solutions, especially in the middle- and low-income countries where children are now gaining internet access. This is consistent with the commitment of the Global Kids online team to an active partnership between central coordinators and national projects, and between researchers and research users/stakeholders. You can sign up to receive the latest research news from Global Kids Online by email. Details about the Global Kids Online project and the work of Sonia Livingstone and Mariya Stoilova.

Is the European media reflecting the “refugee crisis” or helping create it? This is the question posed by Myria Georgiou, Deputy Head of LSE Media and Communications, in her project analysing how newspapers in nine European countries covered the so-called refugee crisis in 2015. Myria's seemingly impossible idea is for the media to be more productive in helping us understand complex issues around migration. Check the video here. Fanning the Flames: Reporting Terror in a Networked World Charlie Beckett has written a report in collaboration with Tow Centre for the Digital Journalism in New York that looks at the problems facing journalism around terrorism: the increasing speed of the news cycle; new technologies and the limits on resources; the challenge of verification, definition, proportionality; and dealing with spin and propaganda.

A challenge, because there’s so much that needs to be done.” Dr Ellen Helsper, Associate Professor in the Department of Media and Communicationsprovided input to the Barclays Digital Development Index, which benchmarked 10 countries around the world on their readiness to compete in the digital economy. Launched on Tuesday 19 July, the report, which can be found here, highlights that the UK, one of the most active online consumer markets globally, lags behind other countries when it comes to being able to create new digital technologies. Dr Helsper commented: “One organisation – whether government, business or charity – will not be able to tackle this problem alone. Nor can there be a ‘one size fits all’ approach. The solutions must be tailored to the needs and circumstances of the people that are going to be using these technologies.” European Migration Crisis and the Media: Preliminary findings During the 2016 POLIS conference on April 21, researchers from Media and Communications department’s European Migration Crisis and the Media project presented their preliminary findings for the first time.

The event will be held on Sunday 10 January 2016 on a Google HangOut platform accommodating live audio and video with involvement from viewers via live chat. Event abstract: Photos of the migrant crisis have dominated the media space over the past year. What can we learn from the way traditional and social media, primarily in the west, has depicted the crisis in terms of context; scale and scope; demographics (including gender, race and nationality); geopolitics; aesthetics; empathy and sensitivity? Gregory Asmolov, PhD Researcher in the Department of Media and Communications, has been published in the Oxford Internet Institute’s Policy and Internet blog. The article, entitled Controlling the crowd? Government and citizen interaction on emergency-response platform discusses the use of crowdsourcing tools and practices in emergency situations. Dr Bart Cammaerts, Associate Professor in the Department of Media and Communications will give a keynote lecture on 2 December in Sorbonne, Paris at the Institut des Sciences de la Communication (CNRS/Paris Sorbonne/UPMC) Times and Temporalities of the Web conference. His lecture is entitled “The Resistant Shaping of Technologies of Self-Mediation: hacking print, telecoms, broadcasting and the internet”. This presentation will be focusing not only on digital technologies, but also on what are commonly called traditional media, print cultures, audio and broadcasting, especially radio, but also on the role of telecommunication. The temporal dimension in my intervention will thus relate to a historical dimension and the various ways in which counter-cultures and activists have over time appropriated and subsequently perverted information and communication technologies to suit their particular needs and to shape the media and communication technologies at their disposal into tools of resistance. At the same time, we can also observe that the powers-that-be do everything they possibly can to disrupt, regulate, impede, limit, the impact of resisting groups appropriating their own means of communication, … not always successfully. In fact, the creativity of activists to bypass the multiple repressive tactics by the state and the corporate sector is quite astonishing and consistent over time; very often activists use or deturn – to use a Debordian term – the system against the system, which amounts to a hack. Besides this historical perspective at an empirical level, I will also mobilize Foucault’s notion of Technologies of the Self to make sense of the various ways in which the self-mediation practices of activists and social movements feed into the construction of their collective identity as well as the enactment of their protest mobilizations and actions. The Technologies of the Self also serves theoretically to understand how this process, which has a symbolic as well as a material side, is characterized by simultaneously operating and ever changing agentic as well as constraining dynamics. The interplay between these dynamics tends to give rise to productive and innovative activist interventions when it comes to the shaping of media and communication technologies for activist needs Charlie Beckett, Professor and Director of Polis has been appointed as Special Advisor on broadcasting to the House of Commons Select Committee for Culture, Media and Sport. Professor Beckett says: "This is a critical time for broadcasting in Britain and I look forward to contributing some insights from my time both as a journalist and academic to the policy-making process."

The colloquium is part of the European Union funded project MEMOSUR: Lessons for Europe from Argentina and Chile. New book: Youth Participation in Democratic Life: stories of hope and disillusion (Palgrave Macmillan, 2015) Bart Cammaerts, Michael Bruter, Shakuntala Banaji, Sarah Harrison, Nick Anstead This book analyses and assesses the contexts, nature and the diversity of young people's participation in European democratic life. The authors provide an interdisciplinary conceptual framework addressing participation, power, democracy, efficacy and media. Using dynamic, original data collected in surveys, focus groups, interviews and a field experiment, Youth Participation in Democratic Life address young people's attitudes towards voting, participation and representation in policy processes and politicians. Democracy is, however, much more than voting, so volunteering and contentious politics are also elaborated upon. Examining the role of traditional and new media in facilitating youth participation in democratic life, as well as the complex dynamics of youth exclusion from economic, educational and social spheres, the book reveals that most young people are far from apathetic about democracy but rather they are critical of current representative democratic systems and the political elites who appear to run these. A new online Digital Exclusion Heatmap tool which shows, for the first time, a single nationwide measure of the likelihood of digital exclusion across the UK was launched today by Go ON UK in partnership with LSE, the BBC and Local Government Association The Department's Dr Ellen Helsper who developed the methodology behind the map, said: “The heat map is a wake-up call. It shows clearly how social and digital exclusion are closely related. The lack of basic digital skills and access in already disadvantaged areas is likely to lead to an increase in inequality of opportunity around the UK.” Professor Charlie Beckett has been appointed as Special Advisor on broadcasting to the House of Commons Select Committee for Culture, Media and Sport.

Iron. Inv.: 79.18.102 This yoke, more commonly known by its French name of carcan, is comprised of a collar with two moving parts, the jaws, and 26 figure-eight shaped rings plus an oval. The extremities of the jaws are flattened and perforated with a hole in which the closure system was placed (padlock, rivet or ring of the preceding prisoner's chain). This is one of the rare examples that we know of from Iron Age Gaul. With a diameter of around 16 cm, the collar of this carcan was most probably intended for prisoners. These items are known to have been used for domestic animals (dogs, bullocks etc.), but their dimensions are different. This carcan was discovered on the site of Lacoste at Mouliets-et-Villemartin (Gironde), which at its peak in the 2nd century B.C. was a very active small craft and commercial settlement close to the Garonne, a very busy trade route between the British Isles, northern Europe and the Mediterranean world.

These are supervised areas where revellers who have over-indulged can be checked over and even sleep it off, rather than being taken to casualty or monitored by the police. Some are already used in areas including Exeter, Hereford, Norwich and Blackpool. Currently five ambulance trusts in the North East, East Midlands, South Central, West Midlands and North West have applied for funding, as well as a scheme in Soho in central London. Each ambulance service is proposing to use the extra funding to cover various additional locations and enhanced hours within their regions. There have been a number of schemes used around the UK to help deal with alcohol related attendances. They range from council funded ‘Safe Havens’ to ‘Booze Buses’. In Bristol the Mobile Treatment Centre, or MTC, will again be run by the South Western Ambulance Service, which will be deploying its teams on the busy nights in the run up to Christmas. They will also be operational on New Year’s Eve. One of the first programmes to benefit from NHS England funding will be Soho Angels scheme in London, where Westminster City Council and the LGBT Foundation are partnering to ensure that everyone gets home safely from the West End this festive season. St John Ambulance, Drinkaware, Metropolitan Police, London Ambulance Service and Safer West End are all partnering with the initiative to help deliver the project. In Exeter, a scheme involving Exeter Community Safety Partnership saw local health and council services team up with Street Pastors and the St John Ambulance. The South Central Ambulance Service (SCAS) is again running its SOS Service in Oxford using a dedicated jumbulance, or large ambulance. The service, which has been running since 2014, provides extra medical provision in the city centre on Fridays and Saturdays and will again operate on New Year’s Eve, reducing 999 responses and the number of patients going to A&E for alcohol related incidents. Craig Heigold, paramedic team leader at SCAS and Oxford SOS Project lead, said: “The SOS Project provides a valuable service at a time of peak demand for all local NHS and emergency services in Oxford city centre. By doing so we can reduce the demand on our colleagues at A&E, as well as ensure that more Oxfordshire SCAS staff and vehicles are free to respond to non-alcohol related illnesses and injuries elsewhere in the city and surrounding areas. We can also provide a faster and more effective response to patients in the city centre who need us.” A study into the benefits of NHS-operated “Alcohol Intoxication Management Services” (AIMS) will not report until 2019. However, NHS chief executive Simon Stevens said that ‘drunk tanks’ run by charities, councils and voluntary groups can take pressure off paramedics, nurses and doctors during the busy party season. Mr Stevens said: “I have seen first-hand while out with ambulance crews in the run-up to last Christmas the problems that drunk and often aggressive people cause paramedics and A&E staff who just want to help those who need it most. “NHS does not stand for ‘National Hangover Service’ which is why we want to help other organisations take care of those who just need somewhere safe to get checked over and perhaps sleep it off.” Mr Stevens also urged local authorities to make more use of the ‘late night levy’ which they can impose on bars and clubs to put on safe spaces for revellers. An estimated 12% to15% of attendances at emergency departments in the UK are due to acute alcohol intoxication. This peaks on Friday and Saturday evenings when as many as 70% of attendances can be alcohol-related. The NHS England initiative comes as the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) prepare to publish their findings into AIMS. The results will help decide whether these services are supported on a more routine basis. Government lops £85 million off p... Being shorter linked to increased...

We are looking for U3A volunteers to work collaboratively with ORNC staff and former personnel from the Greenwich WRNS to develop the exhibition as part of this Shared Learning Project. Meetings will take place fortnightly at the Old Royal Naval College; starting on Wednesday 28thSeptember at 11.a.m. The minimum time for each meeting will be 2 hours, but if members wish to stay longer they will be very welcome. The expectation is that between meetings members of the team will carry out their own research to feed back at the fortnightly meetings. To start with we are looking for volunteers who can make a 6, 10 or 12 week commitment with the opportunity to continue until the summer 2017.

Charterhouse is looking to Research the Lives of past Brothers Shared Learning Project – Oh Brother Where Art Thou? This autumn the Charterhouse is looking to research the lives of past Brothers of the Charterhouse This project will seek to look to into the lives of past Brothers from the 17th and 18th century. Spanning a range of professions, from florists to lieutenants, the Charterhouse has admitted a striking list of intriguing personalities. We are now looking to find out more about who these men were their personal records, career, family and where possible create a short biography for inclusion in our forthcoming Museum exhibit focused on the lives of present and past Brothers. Over its long history, the Charterhouse has witnessed many of the events that have shaped our nation. The story begins in 1348 during the Black Death, when the land was used as a burial ground for victims of plague. In 1371, the Charterhouse was built – a Carthusian monastery, which flourished throughout the later medieval and early Tudor period. The team will be working at the London Metropolitan Archives in Islington. Each member of the team will be required to attend regularly and devote time to meaningful research on the topic outside of the scheduled meetings. Some research may also need to be carried out at the National Archives in Kew. The data collected will be inputted into a spreadsheet via an online form so basic competency in the use of PCs and the internet is essential. If you enjoy research and like working as part of a group, but can also be motivated to work independently then this could be the SLP for you. There will be a team of 12 plus a project leader. The project members will meet weekly from 14:00—16:00 on Wednesdays from 5 October 2016 to 7 December 2016 at the Charterhouse. There will be two additional meetings in January to prepare for, and showcase, our findings to a small, invited audience.

About the Bureau The Poetic Research Bureau is a valise fiction and portable literary service in Northeast Los Angeles. Our living room at 951 Chung King Rd in Chinatown hosts an extended community of autodidacts and guessworkers caught up in language, inquiry and the unguarded arts. Just as it is: a community free school by day, and by night, a non-professional public forum for presentations, readings, screenings and sundry intellectual exchanges. As an out-of-pocket California milk-crate boosterist enterprise, the PRB also serves as the irregular literary umbrella for projects such as occasional poetry journal The Germ ('97-'05), edited by Andrew Maxwell and Macgregor Card; and art-lit mag Area Sneaks, edited by Rita Gonzalez and Joseph Mosconi. As a research bloc, the Bureau attempts to cultivate composition, publication and distribution strategies that enlarge the public domain. It favors appropriations, impersonations, 'compost' poetries, belated conversations, unprintable jokes and doodles, 'unoriginal' literature, historical thefts and pastiche. The publication emphasis is on ephemeral works, short-run magazines and folios, short-lived reprints and excerpts in print-on-demand formats, and the occasional literary fetish objects of stupidly incomparable price and value. Several reading series are hosted at 951 CKR, and we welcome writers whose work lacks the 'commercial tendency' while harboring the bright, high-minded intentions that often lead to broad panic, righteous perversions, improbable arguments, and the ill-served cul-de-sacs of genius. The series are coordinated by the aforementioned Messrs Maxwell and Mosconi. If you're sympatico, passing through town, or need a megaphone, 50 seats and a big blank space, give us a write. contact: directors@poeticresearch.com	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0107.json.gz/line716
__label__cc	0.669346	0.330654	This statue (for lack of better words) is outside of Hadlock Field, where the Sea Dogs baseball team plays their home games. It was unveiled last year and I still find it disappointing. There was some rumbling in the arts community (see here) that, according the public arts committee "... the statues, which depict a traditional family of four on the way to a baseball game, would be too large, display the team logo and fail to reflect the modern diversity of Portland, both in its people and its artwork." Those are all valid points. My point is that the father figure in the statue is clearly trying to scalp the tickets. It looks like he loaded up the wife and kids in the minivan, clearly promising to treat them to America's past-time, and then started yelling "TICKETS FOR SALE HERE!" as they approached the entrance. What a jerk. Labels: Statue, Summer Leif Hagen July 17, 2009 at 8:22 AM I love sculpture and think it's great when city add them around their towns. Interesting "controversy" on this one. kmike July 17, 2009 at 10:36 PM The sculpture "Michael", a stylized Phoenix off Monument Sq, was much more controversial 35 years ago...and it's a much better piece of art. The controversy around this statue was stupid and irrelevant, but the "family" is sort of ugly, especially the wife's outfit. The best city "people statues" are someone you know, like Auerbach and Curley in Boston. brattcat July 18, 2009 at 10:47 AM This IS an odd sculpture. We left Portland before it was unveiled so missed all the hooha. DAG July 21, 2009 at 6:51 PM I looked at the photo before I read about the diversity aspect. What is the matter with a sculpture just representing baseball? I think it just doesn't work on any level. A lot of towns require a piece of public art as part of a new project, a lot of wild missed swings there too.

__label__wiki	0.703987	0.703987	Bargain buy a winner for Warrnambool trainer BARGAIN basement buy Hawaiian Princess could add more money to her owners’ coffers when it runs in a $15,000 restricted race over 1700 metres at Warrnambool today. Warrnambool trainer Patrick Ryan parted with $3800 to buy Hawaiian Princess at a June Thoroughbred sale in Melbourne. The mare was formerly trained by Sydney trainers Guy Walter and David Vandyke. From its two runs for Ryan, the four-year-old mare was an unlucky third at Mount Gambier before scoring an easy win at Ararat earlier this month, giving the hobby trainer great confidence going into today’s race. “She was a certainty beaten at Mount Gambier at her first run for me. She was caught up on the rails and had nowhere to go when slow horses dropped back on her. She flew home over the concluding stages. We had a few dollars on her at the Mount. It was a crying shame she got beat,” Ryan said. “Hawaiian Princess’s win at Ararat was an excellent effort. She won by three lengths but there was a fair distance between the second and third horse. I expect she’ll run very well today. She’s drawn a good barrier and will appreciate the 1700 metres.” Ryan is no stranger to winning races with bargain basement buys. He won the 2008 Warrnambool Cup with Video Star after paying $4000 for her before selling her as a black type winning mare for $130,000. Electric Ernie, Maddison Lane and Caroun, cast-offs from other trainers, have won city races for Ryan. “I put in a fair bit of research before I buy any horses at the mixed sales. I suppose I’ve been very lucky with some of my purchases,” he said. “We’ve won $10,000 in stakemoney with Hawaiian Princess from two runs. I’m not sure how far Hawaiian Princess will go but at this stage she’s going well. We’ll get over today before making any further plans for her.” Top steeplechaser Man Of Class returns to Warrnambool on the flat in a highweight handicap over 3087 metres as a stepping stone to the Oakbank Great Eastern Steeplechase and the Warrnambool Grand Annual Steeplechase. The 10-year-old ran second in last year’s Grand Annual and is following a similar path to running in the feature jumping race at Warrnambool again, according to his trainer Ciaron Maher. “We’re putting the miles into his legs. The run on the flat at Warrnambool today is another part of the process,” Maher said. “We’ll take Man Of Class back over to Oakbank at Easter before having another crack at the Grand Annual. His best efforts are on good tracks so we don’t want the weather to break too early.” The first of eight races today is scheduled to begin at 1pm.	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0107.json.gz/line725

Mir performed surgery on Marquez earlier this week on both bone and ligaments to stabilize the left shoulder joint of the world champion. Reports indicate the prognosis is good, and Marquez states on his Twitter page that he is feeling better, although he appears to need the entire break between now and the first MotoGP test of 2019 at Sepang beginning February 6 to recuperate, and be able to ride a MotoGP machine. His new Repsol Honda teammate Jorge Lorenzo also underwent surgery this week … on his right foot that was injured during a crash late in the 2018 series. Compared to Marquez, Lorenzo’s surgery appears to be minor. His comment to his Twitter photo below indicates he is feeling well and already training.

My homepage seе іt here – https://startupgenome.co/vt-bharadwaj, It’s enormous that you are getting thoughts from this article as well as from our discussion made here. gsbeliever says: Gettin’ old ain’t for sissies. Nice to see a picture of MM where he isn’t sticking his tongue out ! Wish then both a speedy recovery.. stinky says: It’s hard to actually call the shoulder a joint. Very hard to really fix. He’s got the best in the world (hopefully) repairing and rehabbing. These guys are tough as nails and really LOVE what they do. Good luck kids. As we admire how tough and dedicated these guys are, the rest of the premier class front-runners are thinking to themselves, “Dammit! That’s another tenth or two per lap for Marquez if that shoulder heals up well.” If we look at Rossi, yes we see the bike is not up to par, but we also see age and injuries catching up to him. He once said it is more difficult to get out of bed in the morning and get ready to race, physically. Mentally he is there but physically he cannot risk falling like he used to. I know exactly where he’s coming from. I suffer the same thing only I’m 68. It’s part of the aging process lol Lawrence Kahn says: Our bodies physiologically reach peak form somewhere around 30. Starts downhill from there. Just the facts. At Sepang, when Marquez, was slowly catching Rossi, Rossi seemed to fall because of that. How much the tables have turned, when in the past, it was Rossi who would pressure the leaders late in the race, causing THEM to crash. Have we seen the peak of Rossi? How much longer will Rossi continue to be competitive. What a great man, great achievements from him, but is the door now closing for him? Some forums wont even mention it. But you have to admit it is impressive how well Rossi is still doing. No one else is out there at his age and there are a bunch of young guns who cant match his performance. Good on him, keep going for us old guys!!! Add long as he is competitive, he seems to be having fun. If you can have fun AND get paid, you got something right! Great to watch him now, and when he is ready, he should have a long waiting list of hopefuls to sign up for a racing school (should he open one! ) Indian Rider, I think you missed the point of Prov’s post, he was merely pointing out how, from his own personal experience, these riders are understating their situation, because they are tough and true athletes. He was complimenting them. woops…this post was meant to be further down the page under Provologna’s. Seems like a lot of power for such a flat seat. Better HOLD ON to those bars. Just shows how tough MotoGP riders are, riding with injuries that would stop most people, they win or keep fighting for the win. Good healing to both of them. Can’t let the boyish looks fool us. This kid is as tough as nails. Jorge too (the collarbone incident in Assen). I hope he recovers well for next season. I understand that shoulders can be tricky to repair and heal. They are tough…Rossi racing with a compound fractured leg, Lorenzo and Pedrosa racing with recently broken collarbones, a lot of guys racing with broken fingers and Doohan and Sheen that were really broken up and still racing? these guys are ironmen among athletes. Not much keeps them out of the seats come race day When did he get a compound leg fracture? I don’t remember it being an open fracture. September 2017 in an MX accident (displaced fractures requiring surgery) and June 2010 @ Mugello (this was displaced and exposed). Thanks, didn’t realise that. Even more impressive he got racing again so quickly. I remember a race at Daytona, the 80’s maybe? Miguel Duhamel was racing for the Honda factory, and hobbled up to his bike on crutches! Somehow got his leg over the bike and got feet on the pegs. They took his crutches away and he raced! Don’t remember how he did, but he probably scored a few points for the season. Woof! Jabe says: I remember this, it was more like the mid 90’s. Duhamel had suffered a really bad break the season before, was fortunate to not lose his leg. I remember watching him hobble around the pits on crutches there at Daytona and then he went on to win both the Supersport race and the 200. Kman says: I’m remembering they either talked about doing, or did, the same thing to Miguel that they had to do to Doohan, stitch the good leg to the bad leg for better blood and fluid flow for better recovery. Doohan would have lost part of his leg if they hadn’t. Provologna says: “…Dr. Xavier Mir. Mir performed surgery on Marquez earlier this week on both bone and ligaments to stabilize the left shoulder joint of the world champion. Reports indicate the prognosis is good, and Marquez states on his Twitter page that he is feeling better…” “Better” is a relative word. “Better” than what exactly, Mr. Marquez? Better than Wiley Coyote being flattened by a semi, maybe? As someone who’s had IIRC 3 knee surgeries and one shoulder surgery, I have to cry “foul” on Marc’s “better” qualification. Shoulder surgery is absolutely a pain, period, no exceptions, AFAIK. I don’t think I slept through a night for about two weeks, maybe more. Getting “comfortable” to sleep was virtually impossible. Best wishes for a full and speedy recovery. Indian Rider says: Way to make it all about yourself…..sounds like you need to toughen up. Some folks have never been injured or been through surgery. Reports from the hospital are always something like this one. You’ll never hear something like Marquez saying that his shoulder hurts like the dickens. But first class doctors provide first class dope. I feel that the message machine should make some effort to turn out something a bit more realistic. “I feel like I have just taken a pretty hard crash right now. But I am confident that my shoulder will be much more stable in the future.” Bob K says: I’d love to hear, for once, the truth. It would be much like you put it. But you can’t let the fans think you’re a whiny little girl at their level. When I had may collar bone screwed and glued and whatever 5 years ago, I was on a pain block for 2 days. Holy moly, that thing was cool. I could move my fingers around, bend my elbow… but my shoulder that was being fed by the machine….wow, no matter how hard I concentrated and focused on trying to move even a millimeter, I just couldn’t move it. It was absolutely fascinating to me. And if it weren’t for the pain block, I’d have never gotten any sleep that first 2 days. Fist class doctors have 1st class dope. Uh-huh. 😀 Yup, I suspect you nailed it. Shoulder surgery can be very tricky. I hope MM returns unscathed, but if I had to bet (I don’t) I suspect negative, he’s not 100% first race next season. No other body joint has such huge range of motion. Nobody rides like MM, being smooth and controlled while riding on the knife’s edge of complete chaos. I suspect he’s not there at the start of 2019. And of course, his doctors, even if Honda pays the insurance bill, are obligated legally and ethically to have warned him his risk is higher now for any future crash. I compared the abject pain of shoulder surgery, which we have in common. What was your pain level after your shoulder surgery? My post surgery pain level was multiples higher than pre-surgery. Of course it’s much better now. On a related topic: a little tip for anyone addicted to caffeine as I was pre-surgery (since quit altogether). Give yourself about one week or maybe longer to quit pre-surgery. Each day lower your caffeine dose about 1/7th. After 7 days you’re at zero and done. You don’t need the caffeine headache on top of all the other misery. The caffeine headache for persons heavily addicted is about equivalent to putting your head in a vice. Real nice with your shoulder feeling like Tyrus is twisting it as far as he can to win a prize! Really, they should warn addicts about this problem pre-surgery.

__label__cc	0.680294	0.319706	"God offers to every mind its choice between truth and repose. Take which you please—you can never have both." Ralph Waldo Emerson Yom HaShoah (Holocaust Remembrance Day) is the day in which we recall the Nazi genocide and the murder of six million Jewish souls. This is the day when we remember six million of our people, 1.5 million of whom were children. Even after years of studying this tragic and horrific event I am still struggling to come to terms with the enormity of the loss. If I were to spend every minute of every day reading the names of those who were murdered (at a pace of 20 names per minute) it would take me more than six months to read all six million names. If I were to read six stories of those who perished, one for each million, each and every year, and if God is good enough to grant me a full lifetime of 120 years, I would still only learn some 600 stories in the span of my adult years. By 1944 at the height of the Nazi final solution 6,000 people were murdered in a day at Auschwitz-Birkenau. Our nation is currently transfixed by the tragic loss of some 25 miners in West Virginia, and we hope and pray the rescue of four trapped miners. Six million is roughly equivalent to that of the Jewish population of the United States and equal to the entire Jewish population of the State of Israel. Perhaps I cannot ever come to terms with these staggering numbers. And so I am left unable to quantify and count and must instead remember one by one, collecting individual stories. To that end I would like to begin collecting such stories from our congregation. If someone in your extended family perished in the Holocaust please email me these names, and their stories, if they are known. If someone in your family survived the Shoah please email me these stories as well. Take a few minutes and read some individual stories on Yad VaShem’s website. Every year Yad VaShem highlights six stories for Israel’s Yom HaShoah ceremony on Sunday evening. One story, and one candle, for each of the million. Watch some of the videos on this remarkable website. If you watch only one video watch the following three minute story about a family from Amsterdam. This particular story can be more easily accessed on YouTube. Every time I sit at my computer to write a eulogy I am reminded that each and every life is precious. I always find it an overwhelmingly sacred task to give voice to memories, to grant renewed life to a person’s story. For millions during the Holocaust, even those who would remember were murdered, even those who would gather to recite kaddish were lost. This is one of the reasons why Yad VaShem’s collection of nearly all six million names is so remarkable. We cannot adequately remember or even fathom the loss of six million. We can however tell individual stories. Please join me in this effort. Share stories with me and thereby with your congregation. Perhaps in this way our congregation will take on a sacred task, for the most part lost to history, and begin remembering those who might otherwise be forgotten.

"So, my $4,000 grant was now costing me $5,000." Since 2008, the Education Department has offered these so-called TEACH grants to people studying to get a college or master's degree. The deal is, they get to keep the grant money if they spend four years teaching a high-need subject like math or science in schools that serve low-income families. If they don't keep their end of the bargain, the grants convert to loans that need to be paid back. But, the study finds, many teachers believe they kept their end of the bargain but are now being asked to repay that money anyway. Some early red flags were raised a few years ago by the Government Accountability Office. The GAO investigated the TEACH grant program and noted that teachers were improperly having their grants taken away. At least 2,252 grants were erroneously converted to loans by the servicer.

Factors that make teaching vulnerable to a ton of debt include chronically low teacher pay, the increasing pressure to get a master's degree, and the many ways to repay loans or apply for loan forgiveness. • Student Loans: To Solve the Problem, Understand the History (Chad Chubb, Kiplinger, 6-10-19) If you plan on making $60,000 out of college, you should not take on more than $60,000 in loans.

Miller (the arts editor for The New York Times Style Magazine) left university with with more than $100,000 of debt, for which her father was a cosigner. "In a matter of months, my father had lost everything he had worked most of his adult life to achieve—first his career, then his home, then his dignity....The delicate balancing act my family and I perform in order to make a payment each month has become the organizing principle of our lives...The foundational myth of an entire generation of Americans was the false promise that education was priceless—that its value was above or beyond its cost." • The Student Debt Problem Is Worse Than We Imagined (Ben Miller, NY Times, 8-25-18) New data reveals how colleges are benefiting from billions in financial aid while students are left with debt they cannot repay. The new data makes clear that the federal government overlooks early warning signs by focusing solely on default rates over the first three years of repayment. That's the time period Congress requires the Department of Education to use when calculating default rates. For-profit institutions have particularly awful results."The secret to avoiding accountability? Colleges are aggressively pushing borrowers to use repayment options known as deferments or forbearances that allow borrowers to stop their payments without going into delinquency or defaulting. Nearly 20 percent of borrowers at schools that had high default rates at year five but not at year three used one of these payment-pausing options." • Student Loan Debt Can Sink Your Retirement Plan (Harriet Edleson, AARP, 9-18-18) If you've defaulted on a federal student loan, beware: The federal government can take up to 15 percent of your Social Security benefit. ...

The Immigration Debate--and Crisis Thousands of children in detention • More than 14,000 immigrant children are in U.S. custody, an all-time high (Tal Kopan, SF Chronicle,11-16-18) 'That number tops records set just two months ago, putting further strain on an already overburdened system....The issue of immigrant children in government custody gained widespread attention in the spring and summer when the Trump administration separated thousands of families at the southern border. Almost all those separated children have since left Health and Human Services care, but the total number of children in the system has steadily grown....“Right now, unaccompanied children are being held in detention facilities or living in tent cities due in part to potential sponsors’ fear of retribution from ICE for coming forward,” Harris said in a statement. “This is an unacceptable obstacle to getting these children into a safe home, and we must fix it.” Trump is using background checks to identify undocumented families taking the children in. • An Expert on Concentration Camps Says That's Exactly What the U.S. Is Running at the Border (Jack Holmes, Esquire, 6-13-19) Andrea Pitzer, a historian of concentration camps, is quoted as saying that the United States has created a “concentration camp system,” arguing that “mass detention of civilians without a trial” is what makes the camps concentration camps. "Things can be concentration camps without being Dachau or Auschwitz." During World War II we had Japanese-American internment camps, a shameful part of U.S. history. "Over time, the camps will turn those people into what Trump was already saying they are." • The Supreme Court May Criminalize Immigrant Advocacy (Lorelei Laird, Slate, 11-18-19) One case (United States v.

Wong, Opinion, LA Times, 9-3-19) The Trump administration has attempted to close the door on asylum seekers who are looking for refuge in the United States. But even as it blocks entry — and sends tens of thousands of asylum seekers to Mexico to wait out their immigration proceedings — thousands of families with children are also being held in federal immigration detention facilities....From substandard conditions in immigration detention to verbal and physical abuse to serious due process concerns, the data show that the Trump administration is not abiding by its obligations under U.S. and international asylum and refugee law to treat humanely those who are seeking protection from persecution. With the administration now determined to hold asylum-seeking families for potentially as long as it takes for their immigration proceedings to play out (which could be years), conditions may get worse.

It Happened to Mine. (Michiko Kakutani, Opinion, NY Times, 7-13-18) The author compares Trump's border policy to "the 120,000 people of Japanese descent on the West Coast who were dispatched to internment camps during World War II....History is repeating itself. This time without even the pretext of war, and with added heartbreaking cruelty. Under Mr. Trump's "zero tolerance" border enforcement policy, nearly 3,000 children were separated from their parents, and while the administration later halted these separations, it neglected to keep proper records and is now struggling to find and reunite families." And yet: "there is no border crisis: In the last fiscal year, arrests of unauthorized immigrants had actually declined to levels not seen since the early 1970s....We have reached the point where more than a third of the country either buys into Mr. Trump's falsehoods or casually shrugs them off, putting loyalty to him or the Republican Party over facts, common sense and the Constitution." • The Trump Administration’s Plan to Deport Victims of Human Trafficking (David Remnick, New Yorker Radio Hour, 6-21-19) Victims of human trafficking are facing greater hurdles under the Trump Administration.

It’s no problem, government argues. (Meagan Flynn, WaPo, 6-21-19) The government went to federal court this week to argue that it shouldn’t be required to give detained migrant children toothbrushes, soap, towels, showers or even half a night’s sleep inside Border Patrol detention facilities. The position bewildered a panel of three judges in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit on Tuesday, who questioned whether government lawyers sincerely believed they could describe the temporary detention facilities as “safe and sanitary” if children weren’t provided adequate toiletries and sleeping conditions....Migrants are being held behind chain-link fences in pens, sleeping on the concrete floor with aluminum-foil blankets and nothing else to keep them warm. “To me it’s more like it’s within everybody’s common understanding: If you don’t have a toothbrush, if you don’t have soap, if you don’t have a blanket, it’s not safe and sanitary,” Senior U.S. Circuit Judge A. Wallace Tashima told Justice Department lawyer Sarah Fabian. • Trump Administration Is Illegally Forcing Asylum Seekers Out of the United States (Michael Tan and Julie Veroff, ACLU, 2-14-19) The Trump administration claims there’s an immigration crisis at the border. But border apprehensions are near record lows.Last September, Bianca* was forced to flee Honduras because her partner’s father threatened to kill her for being a lesbian. Bianca could not go to the police in Honduras because they do not protect LGBTQ people from harm. So she left home to save her life. Before last month, after entering the country, Bianca would have been interviewed by an asylum officer to determine if she had a potential asylum claim, and once she passed that, her case would have proceeded in immigration court. She would only be deported from the United States if she did not succeed in her asylum application — that is, if she could not show that her fear of persecution was well-founded. However, because of a new Trump administration policy, border officers sent Bianca back to Mexico without even evaluating her request for asylum. The administration’s purported basis for the policy is a provision of the immigration laws that allows certain migrants to wait in Mexico or Canada while their immigration case is heard in immigration court. But that law was never meant to apply to asylum seekers like Bianca.

Caldwell, Wall Street Journal, 7-27-18) Officials spent months planning how to separate families coming across the border, but had no good plan when the White House suddenly reversed course. For months, federal immigration officials along the 268-mile stretch of border that separates New Mexico and West Texas from Mexico had been testing a policy of separating migrant parents from their children. What they didn’t plan for was how to reunite them. When a federal judge ordered the Trump administration to reconnect more than 2,600 children separated from their families after a national outcry, the two government agencies in charge—the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Health and Human Services—didn’t have a firm grip on the number of children involved or exactly where they were.

For example, he recommended the Cato Institute, the LIBRE Initiative and the Heritage Foundation as organizations with conservative viewpoints that don’t promulgate hate." Three organizations that have been criticized heavily by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC): the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) (both as "hate groups") and NumbersUSA (all three support "self-deportation," making "the lives of immigrants so awful that they leave the country”). • Judge allows case over alleged forced labor in immigration detention to move forward (Kate Morrissey, San Diego Union Tribune, 5-17-18) "Two former immigration detainees will be allowed to bring a class action lawsuit against CoreCivic, the private prison company that owns and operates Otay Mesa Detention Center, for alleged labor violations, a federal judge ruled Monday. The complaint alleges that CoreCivic violated federal forced labor laws by making detainees clean and maintain the facilities for no pay and threatening them with punishments like solitary confinement if they didn’t comply. Otay Mesa Detention Center holds detainees in the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the agency responsible for those with pending cases in immigration court, which is a civil court system, not a criminal one." • Zero Tolerance: Trump’s Immigration Policy at the Border (ProPublica series) The Trump administration’s “zero tolerance” policy called for the prosecution of all people who attempt to enter the country illegally, and has resulted in the separation of more than 2,300 migrant children from their parents since April.

(Lori Robertson, Factcheck.org, 6-23-18) In defending its “zero tolerance” border policy that has caused the separation of families, the Trump administration has argued that the Obama and Bush administrations did this too. That’s misleading. Experts say there were some separations under previous administrations, but no blanket policy to prosecute parents and, therefore, separate them from their children. “Bush and Obama did not have policies that resulted in the mass separation of parents and children like we’re seeing under the current administration,” Sarah Pierce, a policy analyst with the Migration Policy Institute, told us....DHS told us that 2,342 children were separated from their parents between May 5 and June 9. • How the Democrats Lost Their Way on Immigration (Peter Beinart, The Atlantic) In the past decade, liberals have avoided inconvenient truths about the issue. • Separated migrant children face infectious disease and other health threats Bara Vaida, Covering Health, AHCJ, 6-21-18) 'Dr. Marc Siegel wrote in USA Today that “thousands of children now being housed in makeshift detention centers have been reported to suffer from large outbreaks of scabies, a highly contagious, itchy rash spread by tiny insects known as mites.” There also have been reports of outbreaks of lice, measles, flu, drug-resistant tuberculosis, dengue fever and Zika, Siegel added.' • Reporters Were Let Inside a Detention Facility for Migrant Kids.

The Justice Department's Office of Immigration Litigation said in a May 25 court filing that the procedures for placing unaccompanied alien children in secured facilities are governed by a 2008 federal law, the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act, rather than by a 1997 settlement that set standards for the treatment of immigrant children detained by the government. • Separating families at the border isn’t just bad policy — it’s horrible for children’s health (Oscar J. Benavidez, STAT, 6-19-18) "What is even more disturbing to me is that these family separations are occurring in full public view, as if they are done with honor or pride instead of with shame." • Government lowers number of migrant parents it says waived reunification with children (Amy Goldstein, WashPost, 8-3-18) The number of migrant parents who have signed away the right to be reunited with their children is significantly lower than the Trump administration has said before, according to fresh information the government filed in a family-separation court case. The latest figures show that 34 parents waived the chance to be back together with their children — compared with the 120 that the government reported a week earlier. Migrants' advocates and congressional Democrats have challenged the idea that large numbers of parents were signing away those rights, contending that some — traumatized by the separations — were misled, did not understand the form or never signed in the first place. • Texas Health Officials: Immigrant Surge Presents a Medical Crisis (Alexa Ura, Texas Tribune, 6-24-14) As the state's top elected officials debate how to halt a surge of immigrants across the border, health officials and volunteer doctors are voicing concerns over what they say is the more serious challenge: a looming medical crisis. "Since October, authorities in the Border Patrol's Rio Grande Valley sector have detained an unprecedented 160,000 undocumented immigrants, including more than 33,500 unaccompanied minors." • Asylum-Seekers Say Immigration Officials Are Ransoming Their Kids in Exchange for Deportation (David Boddiger, Splinter, 6-24-18) The U.S. government is continuing to use defenseless children as bargaining chips in its all-out assault on undocumented migrants mostly from Central America who are seeking safety and a better life in this country. A new Texas Tribune report says that immigration authorities at a detention facility outside Houston are telling the Central American men held there and separated from their children that they can get their kids back if they immediately sign a voluntary deportation order. Their statements appear to violate Article 14 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which states that, “Everyone has the right to seek and to enjoy in other countries asylum from persecution.” • Zeroing In On Immigration, Asylum Laws and the Border (On Point,, WBUR, National Public Radio 6-19-18) • Obtaining Asylum in the United States (U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services) • What's the difference between legal immigration, asylum, refugees and DACA?

Amnesty or Deportation About 11 million unauthorized immigrants live and work in the United States today. Some say they should be deported, while others support a path to legal residency. What would deportation of 11 million people involve? What would be required to receive amnesty? Path to Citizenship For 250 years, the United States has recharged its spirit and economy by extending citizenship to immigrants. The question now is, once the undocumented gain legal status, will we extend the same opportunity to them? If not, how do we reconcile that decision with our ideal of equality? Visa Eligibility The current system’s quotas and preferences mean there is no way some people can ever enter the country. Guest-worker visas mean some will labor here with no representation, few legal protections and no chance to earn citizenship. How do we make rules that are fair, generous and in keeping with our values? Enforcement From border security to deportation and fines, we must decide how to enforce the law with employers and employees who are undocumented.

Many of them can’t afford private insurance and are barred from Medicare or Medicaid. Treatment of these patients varies widely from state to state, and in many places the only way they can get dialysis is in the emergency room. Avoidable emergencies strain hospital resources. Kidney failure, or end-stage renal disease, is treatable with routine dialysis every two to three days. Without regular dialysis, which removes toxins from the blood, the condition is life-threatening. Providing undocumented patients with suboptimal care because of their immigration status contributes to professional burnout and moral distress. • Hack Brief: Hackers Stole a Border Agency Database of Traveler Photos (Brian Barrett, Wired, 6-10-19) "In its rush to gather biometric data from travelers in the US, Customs and Border Protection has apparently neglected basic safeguards to protect it. One of its subcontractors was recently breached, leaving photos of travelers and license plates in the hands of hackers.... It may be too late for the victims of this data breach, but it’s past time to help limit the damage before the next hack comes along." • Writing About Immigration: From the AP Stylebook (Andy Hollandbeck, Copyediting, 6-6-18) DREAM Act vs. DACA. The DREAM Act (Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors) is a legislative bill that has yet to pass through either the House or Senate. DACA — Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals — does have the force of law, but it never went through Congress. It’s an administrative program (but not an executive order) enacted during the Obama administration. Choose your words carefully: Immigrants, Migrants, Asylum-Seekers, and Refugees. And so on.

The base, Fort Sill, Okla., once held 700 Japanese-Americans who lived in tents in desertlike heat, surrounded by barbed wire and guards. They were among the more than 100,000 residents of Japanese ancestry who were rounded up by the government during the war and placed in detention camps around the country. • 6 Immigrant Stories That Will Make You Believe In The American Dream Again (Monte Burke, Forbes, 10-25-16) • America's Story: An Immigrant Story (Geri Mannion, Carnegie Corporation) Nearly one of every four Americans—70 million people—is an immigrant or the child of parents who came from another country. Some fled war, persecution, or environmental disaster; others pursued the American ideal of opportunity for all. "Will the United States become a nation that integrates these newcomers in all aspects of civic life, or a nation divided?" Changing perceptions. Combatting a backlash. Settling in. Overcoming barriers. "If we had a legal visa category that let people go back and forth, many wouldn't feel the need to put down roots and instead would work for a time and go back."

This review of Daniel Ellsberg's book The Doomsday Machine: Confessions of a Nuclear War Planner crystallizes Ellsberg's point: that most of us do not know how close to disaster the existence of nuclear bombs brings us, partly because we don't even know what or who can trigger a launch. (And how close the Cuban Missile Crisis brought us to the brink...) • 'It’s a miracle': Helsinki's radical solution to homelessness (Jon Henley, The Guardian, 6-3-19) Finland is the only EU country where homelessness is falling. Its secret? Giving people homes as soon as they need them – unconditionally. But if Housing First is working in Helsinki, where half the country’s homeless people live, it is also because it is part of a much broader housing policy. See also Lessons from Finland: helping homeless people starts with giving them homes (Juha Kaakinen, The Guardian, 9-14-16) Sounds simple but Finland’s housing first model shows it’s always more cost-effective to try to end homelessness rather than manage it.

It is simply a question of political will." • Kids in Maryland’s Poorest County Are Among the State’s Most Prepared for Kindergarten. Here’s Why. (Martin Austermuhl, WAMU radio, 5-8-19) "Located on the southern end of the peninsula that separates the Chesapeake Bay from the Atlantic Ocean, Maryland’s sparsely populated Somerset County is the state’s poorest. Household income in 2014 was $36,106 according to the U.S. Census, less than half that of the counties at the other end of the spectrum... But on Maryland’s 2018 kindergarten readiness assessment, Somerset County surpassed most of the state. It came in third among counties at 60 percent, 13 points ahead of the state average... Somerset school officials say the reason for the performance is simple: The county offers universal, full-day pre-K to all 4-year-olds." • Why Poverty Is Like a Disease (Christian H. Cooper, Nautilus, 4-20-17) Emerging science is putting the lie to American meritocracy. If this science holds up, it means that poverty is more than just a socioeconomic condition. It is a collection of related symptoms that are preventable, treatable—and even inheritable. In other words, the effects of poverty begin to look very much like the symptoms of a disease. • As First Federal Execution in 16 Years Nears, Will the Government Follow the Law? ( John Wonderlich, Sunlight Foundation, Bloomberg Law, 11-26-19) "The federal government recently signaled its intention to resume executions following a 16-year hiatus by simultaneously announcing its new lethal injection procedure and scheduling five execution dates, with the first to take place in early December.Unfortunately, the federal government unveiled its new execution procedures without going through the required rulemaking process that allows for public scrutiny and accountability. It is essential that the government’s new procedure follow the rulemaking process of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) before any execution may proceed....Lethal injection is a complex undertaking, and getting it right requires due diligence. Over the last decade, we have seen too many botched executions across the country. Execution drugs have failed to work as intended, leaving condemned prisoners alive and struggling for as long as two hours. Executioners have failed to set functioning IVs, injecting drugs into the prisoner’s flesh and potentially inflicting grievous pain. Some attempted executions, including one in Alabama in 2018, have been so mishandled and gone so wrong that the execution team had to abandon the effort altogether." • The Summer of Chaos and God (Dahlia Lithwick, Slate, 9-5-19) 'A preference for chaos on the far right is connected to God in ways Democrats can barely talk about, much less comprehend, whether it’s the fundamental disconnect around evangelical support for unfettered gun rights or the right’s rejection of environmental protection or immigrants’ rights. But the more morally discordant Trump’s policies and politics are, the more he is seen as fighting for religious rights. This is not a claim that all or even most religious belief is nihilist—it is just a recognition that there is a deeply nihilist strain in some religious quarters, one that dovetails perfectly with the impulse to “blow it all up.”' • Starving Seniors: How America Fails To Feed Its Aging (Laura Ungar and Trudy Lieberman, Kaiser Health News, 9-3-19) Millions of seniors across the country quietly go hungry as the safety net designed to catch them frays. Nearly 8% of Americans 60 and older were “food insecure” in 2017, according to a recent study released by the anti-hunger group Feeding America. That’s 5.5 million seniors who don’t have consistent access to enough food for a healthy life, a number that has more than doubled since 2001 and is only expected to grow as America grays. • The Great Land Robbery. "This land was our land." (Vann R. Newkirk II, The Atlantic, 8-12-19) The shameful story of how 1 million black families have been ripped from their farms, robbed of their livelihood. Through a variety of means—sometimes legal, often coercive, in many cases legal and coercive—farmland owned by black people came into the hands of white people, who eventually sold to agribusiness, who eventually sold to Wall Street....His deeply reported piece traces how much of the rich and productive Mississippi Delta soil came to be owned by one of the largest pension firms in the United States, the Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association (TIAA), and examines how black people living and working in the region have been completely uprooted. “For a people who were once considered chattel themselves, real property has carried an almost mystical importance.

Wade: 3 Scenarios, Explained (4-minute video, by Adam Liptak, narrator, Robin Stein, Aaron Byrd, Natalie Reneau, Anjali Singhvi and Jonah M. Kessel, 9-6-18) Clear and interesting analysis for three broad approaches to getting rid of the Supreme Court decision that made abortion legal. (1a) Nuclear options would flip Roe on its head, saying Constitution prohibits abortion in interest of protecting fetal life (abortion=murder). 1b) Do away with right to privacy, which is basis for Roe v. Wade, and would flip the issue back to states. allow states to regulate abortion. (Right to privacy is the foundation for many other rights.) If right to privacy doesn't include the right to abortion; states could limit or do away with right to abortion. (2) Overrule Roe v. Wade. Right to privacy no longer includes right to abortion. States free to limit or forbid abortion. 3) Chip away at abortion rights(most likely scenario). The Supreme Court has already upheld some limits on abortion. More severe restrictons are a perfectly imaginable scenario. States can reinterpret "undue burdens" and poor women in red states would no doubt have a hard time getting abortions. • The Growing Toll of the Global Gag Rule (Melody Schreiber, New Republic, 7-3-19) A new study published in Lancet shows abortions actually go up when the U.S. pulls funding from NGOs offering abortion referrals, "confirming what reproductive health experts have long suspected.... Surveying 26 countries in sub-Saharan Africa between 1995 and 2014 (a time period during which the gag rule was reinstated by Republican administrations and rescinded by Democratic ones), the countries relying heavily on U.S. aid saw much higher rates of abortion—40 percent more—when the gag rule was in place. It has the exact opposite effect of what conservative policymakers say they intend.That's only one way underserved populations suffer. (So far, First Amendment protections have kept conservative administrations from applying the gag rule to U.S.–based organizations, meaning American NGOs like Pathfinder International can continue to offer HIV prevention services with governmental funds while offering abortion services using other funds. But this discrepancy may soon end if the Trump administration’s domestic gag rule proposal continues to survive court challenges.)" •How My Stillbirth Became a Crime (Leah Varjacques, Taige Jensen and Brian Dawson, NY Times video, Opinion, 12-29-18) • A Slaughter in Silence (Nick Turse, Vice and the Investigative Fund, 8-1-18) How a brutal ethnic cleansing campaign in Democratic Republic of Congo was made worse by Trump's “America First” policies and the world's neglect. • Who's responsible for high drug prices and who (and who not) benefits from price gouging ---Fighting drug price gouging and making drugs more affordable ---Doctors' incentives to prescribe expensive drugs ---Buying drugs and procedures smartly, cheaply, safely • The N.R.A.'s Financial Mess ( Ave Carrillo and Steven Valentino, The New Yorker Radio Hour, 4-19-19) Central to the story of the N.R.A’s financial problems is an Oklahoma-based media agency called Ackerman McQueen.

Researchers from the Scripps Institution of Oceanography say Lake Powell has a 50 percent chance of becoming unusable by 2021.

The barren area is forecast to exceed the size of Connecticut this year. We’ve long known that Iowa was a major part of the problem; now we are the problem...other states were also subject to extreme weather but managed to reduce their nitrate levels flowing into the Gulf. The study in particular cites Indiana, where farmers are ahead of Iowa in embracing the use of cover crops, which help hold nitrates in the soil....Iowa has had spent decades ignoring the fact that we’re poisoning the ocean.

This isn't just a tale of the famous, rich and powerful -- it is about women in all walks of life. You can draw a direct line from the journalism to a cultural moment still sparking scrutiny and action on issues that women have been forced to quietly tolerate and deal with in their professional and personal lives." • Harvey Weinstein's Complicity Machine (Megan Twohey, Jodi Kantor, Susan Dominus, Jim Rutenberg, and Steve Eder, NY Times, 12-5-17) The producer Harvey Weinstein relied on powerful relationships across industries to provide him with cover as accusations of sexual misconduct piled up for decades. "Harvey Weinstein built his complicity machine out of the witting, the unwitting and those in between. He commanded enablers, silencers and spies, warning others who discovered his secrets to say nothing. He courted those who could provide the money or prestige to enhance his reputation as well as his power to intimidate....He gathered ammunition, sometimes helped by the editor of The National Enquirer, who had dispatched reporters to find information that could undermine accusers."

Here’s why. (Michael Balter, Columbia Journalism Review, 9-4-19) "Over the past 18 months, I have published nearly all of my #MeToo reporting on my own site for free, and without libel insurance. I still employ the same strict journalistic standards I used when I worked for Science and other publications. I never report rumors or second-hand information, and I always have multiple sources for the statements in my stories—especially for any allegations that reflect badly on an individual or could be contested.... for every Harvey Weinstein, there are a hundred less powerful figures—academics among them—who are getting away with similar behavior simply because they don’t attract the same level of scrutiny. Sometimes a reporter can change that, even working alone." What’s wrong with America’s prisons • The Dickensian Conditions of Life in a For-Profit Lockup (Nate Blakeslee, NY Times Book Review, 10-1-18) A review of American Prison: A Reporter's Undercover Journey into the Business of Punishment by Shane Bauer. Bauer's "survey of profit-driven incarceration begins in the mid-19th century and strikes a familiar theme, that mass incarceration in the South was simply slavery by another name. But Bauer adds new details, especially about the history of convict leasing, in which entire prisons — filled mostly with African-American inmates — were rented out to individuals or companies to provide a captive work force....Death rates were staggeringly high; convicts, unlike slaves, cost nothing to replace. As much as anything, this is the story of the South trying to compete with Northern industry without disturbing the region’s existing power structure, which is to say, without labor unions. Inmates were the original scabs." • Just Mercy: A Story of Justice and Redemption by Bryan Stevenson is worth reading, or watch the HBO documentary (True Justice: Bryan Stevenson's Fight for Equality). He writes about the four stages of racial injustice in the U.S.: Slavery, Lynching (1877-1950, after an 1876 Supreme Court decision allowed it to go on for years), Segregation, and Mass incarceration--the stage we're in now). Reading about the cases he's worked in makes vivid how unjustly blacks (and other minorities) have been treated. • For Private Prisons, Detaining Immigrants Is Big Business (Clyde Haberman, NY Times, 10-1-18) A surging inmate population in the 1980s led to a boom in for-profit prisons. Today, despite their mixed record, private prison companies are overseeing the vast majority of undocumented migrants. The "appetite for locking people up was not matched by a willingness to spend taxpayer money on new government-run cells and support services. Enter for-profit prisons. They were ready to bear some of the burden — for a fee, of course. At federal and state levels, they now operate in more than two dozen states, often in relatively remote regions where jobs can be scarce." In 2016, "under President Barack Obama, the Justice Department concluded that private prisons were in general more violent than government-operated institutions, and ordered a phaseout of their use at the federal level. Reversing that order was one of the first things that President Trump’s attorney general, Jeff Sessions, did on taking office." • The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness by Michelle Alexander. "Sometimes a book comes along and, after it is absorbed into the culture, we cannot see ourselves again in quite the same way," writes David Remnick in the New Yorker piece Ten Years After “The New Jim Crow” (1-17-2020), in which he interviews Alexander, a lawyer and civil-rights advocate who reflects on how her book, hardly an immediate best-seller, encouraged a discussion about criminal-justice reform and racism in America.Or listen to the interview on The New Yorker Radio Hour (co-hosted by Kai Wright, of WNYC) "So it was really as a result of myself representing victims of racial profiling and police brutality, and investigating patterns of drug-law enforcement in poor communities of color, and attempting to assist people who had been released from prison as they faced one closed door and one barrier after another to mere survival after being released from prison that I had a series of experiences that began what I have come to call my awakening....the scale of it was astonishing: seeing rows of black men lined up against walls being frisked and handcuffed and arrested for extremely minor crimes, like loitering, or vagrancy, or possession of tiny amounts of marijuana, and then being hauled off to jail and saddled with criminal records that authorized legal discrimination against them for the rest of their lives." See Mass Incarceration, Then and Now for a couple more related New Yorker stories on the Radio Hour. • What Philip Zimbardo and the Stanford Prison Experiment Tell Us About Abuse of Power (Victoria Bekiempis, Newsweek, 8-4-15) As a colleague observed, "All these prison scandals started when the prisons were privatized (extremely lucrative--even more so with Trump wanting to keep asylum seekers locked up for indefinite lengths of time), a change massively pushed by Republicans. Glenn Greenwald wrote a lot about it at the time but no one really cared... even though it was costing us more and more money. And there's no incentive whatsoever to rehabilitate prisoners when you can employ them as slave labor." "On anyone's list of evils, having private prison corporations lobby against liberalization of drug laws and in favor of harsher prison terms for drug users -- all to increase their profits by ensuring greater product (humans in cages) -- must be near the top." @ggreenwald • The Problem with Private Prisons (Tara Joy, Justice Policy Institute, 2-2-18) A succinct argument. "The corporations running private prisons inevitably claim that they are saving the government money, but their true focus is on protecting their own bottom lines. In order to lower operating costs, these facilities cut corners, hiring fewer employees and paying and training them less....Despite all these cost-cutting measures, it’s unclear whether private prisons actually save the government any money. In-depth research from Arizona found that inmates in the state’s for-profit prisons rarely cost less than those in state-run prisons, and in some cases cost as much as $1,600 more per year....ny money saved by corporate-run prisons only benefits the corporations themselves, and these corporations are willing to go to extreme and horrifying lengths to preserve these profits. One particularly notorious example of this is the 2009 'Kids for Cash' scandal, in which two judges in Pennsylvania were revealed to have been accepting money from the owner of two private juvenile detention centers in return for sentencing juvenile offenders to time in those centers. Children were sentenced to time in detention centers for offenses like shoplifting DVDs or failing to appear at hearings they were never notified of." • On the Yard by Malcolm Braly (about life in San Quentin and after).

But States Can’t Seem to Ditch Private Prisons. (Timothy Williams and Richard A. Oppel Jr, NY Times, 4-10-18) "The staying power of the two companies [Management & Training Corporation and the GEO Group] shows how private prisons maintain their hold on the nation’s criminal justice system despite large-scale failures. The field is dominated by a handful of companies who have swallowed the competition and entrenched their positions through aggressive lawyering, intricate financial arrangements and in some cases, according to lawsuits by the Mississippi attorney general, bribery and kickbacks....Private prison companies can be found at every level of government, housing 9 percent of the nation’s prisoners. They emerged in the 1980s, when the number of inmates was quickly outstripping capacity, and they have an outsize influence in certain states, including Arizona, Florida, Hawaii, Mississippi and New Mexico." • Inside a Private Prison: Blood, Suicide and Poorly Paid Guards (Timothy Williams, NY Times, 4-3-18) " Frank Shaw, the warden of the East Mississippi Correctional Facility, could not guarantee that the prison was capable of performing its most basic function....According to evidence and testimony at a federal civil rights trial, far worse things were happening at the prison than inmates strolling around during a lockdown: A mentally ill man on suicide watch hanged himself, gang members were allowed to beat other prisoners, and those whose cries for medical attention were ignored resorted to setting fires in their cells." • More New York Times stories on prisons and prisoners • Prison Reform: Reducing Recidivism by Strengthening the Federal Bureau of Prisons (U.S. Dept of Justice Archives) • Taro Yamasaki and life inside Jackson State Prison (Michael Cunningham, NiemanStoryboard, 8-30-16).

Science often operates under unacknowledged rules, norms, and expectations. And the intense power in faculty-student relations can last well beyond graduate school. Many graduate women are keenly aware of, and articulate about, the culture and institutional practices of science but are reluctant to speak up about them. Banu Subramaniam’s faculty-student research and action project at the University of Arizona was designed to break those silences. One of their first discoveries was that graduate education is structured less around the classroom than around a protégé-master model. In this one-to-one model, interpersonal communication and relationships are central, and social markers of gender, class, ethnicity, and sexuality are ubiquitous—but talking about interpersonal communication, relationships, and social markers is forbidden. They came to realize that graduate education is unique, with a “student” clearly subordinate to the faculty and in search of training from them, yet leaving school as a “colleague” to the very same faculty. Undergraduates learn about science and might even learn how to do experiments and interpret data, but graduate students learn how to “be” a “scientist.” For this, they must learn to present themselves as credible professionals —- network, design and carry out research projects, choose interesting and productive research topics, give talks, discuss science with colleagues, procure grants, publish results, recruit and motivate good students. So what began as a study of women’s experiences in graduate education became a look at scientists as knowledge-makers, who value not talking about and not recognizing the social world they create, maintain, and reproduce. How does this culture function? How does it reinscribe particular notions of gender, race, and class with the next generation of aspiring scientists? Phase I, an institutional analysis, used questionnaires and interviews to determine how gender dynamics are “operationalized” in graduate education and what roles are played by male and female graduate students, post-docs, faculty, and department heads. Who determines the shaping of everyday science? The running of labs? The research questions asked? The methodologies employed? How do the power dynamics shape the participation of the different groups and in what ways? Phase II featured a facilitated conversation between 20 faculty and 20 female graduate students about the strengths and limitations of graduate education for women, with an emphasis on gender issues. Four departments (math, chemistry, molecular and cellular biology, and ecology and evolutionary biology) were chosen because they had supportive chairs and represented different forms of research. It was important to the success of this part of the project — especially to student frankness — that students and faculty communicated through the facilitators and that participants’ identities remained anonymous to the other group. In a framework developed by Mary Wyer at Duke, two facilitators met separately with two faculty groups and two student groups in 20 two-hour sessions. Student experiences varied somewhat (often shaped by lab groups and departments) but students were astonished at how similar some experiences were across departments. Persistent student issues were the lack of, and the need for, greater communication between faculty and students. There was departmental variation but on the whole students felt there were not enough occasions for faculty-student interactions. Overall, they did not believe faculty cared. Faculty viewed their relationships with their students as particular and idiosyncratic. Anecdotes students offered as symptomatic of larger currents in graduate education were usually said by faculty to reflect problems of individuals. Students tended to view becoming a scientist or mathematician as a particular, constructed, and sometimes arbitrary process. They were interested in challenging and reinterpreting who could be a good scientist. Faculty tended to see the process as natural, involving the growth and maturation of something already inside the students in incipient form—a growth on which they had only limited influence. Their understanding of what happens often left little room for criticism in the sense that it emphasized a “stay if you fit in, leave if you don’t” perspective. To faculty, a student should be able to tell that s/he is “cut out to be a scientist” if graduate education seemed to come easy, be reasonable and rational. If not, the student was not meant to be a scientist. Powerful insights came from an exercise in which each group was invited to name the unwritten rules governing graduate education. Students developed an extensive set of rules that demonstrated their commitment to being “good” and competent scientists—for example, Don’t complain, even about real problems; don’t have a personal life; pretend to be like your advisor; being a woman is a liability; you don’t have input, even on decisions that affect graduate school (even when asked); don’t exhibit “feminine” behaviors. Students questioned the necessity and efficacy of many of these rules. Why must you work all the time? Why are research positions seen as a more “valuable” career track than teaching positions? Why are certain behaviors not allowed? Why is scientific culture silent on issues of gender? Why can you not have a personal life? Students consistently challenged the lists of rules and through that critiqued the scientific culture’s prototype of the ideal “scientist.” The students were willing to follow rules to do science; what they challenged was whether all of the rules defined by contemporary scientific culture produced good science — or, more important, whether not following those rules always produced bad science. They saw phase III as a place to envision a different scientific culture, one not hostile to their identities as women, one structured to create imaginative, empowered, and productive graduate student experiences. In phase III, a subset of the faculty and students came together for an extremely successful open dialogue, aimed at re-envisioning graduate education, which highlighted the importance of communication as a way of clearing each group’s misperceptions of the other. Demonstrating that faculty and students could develop an open, honest, and constructive dialogue, this group developed constructive recommendations for change, posted at (http://w3.arizona.edu/~ws/science/nsf). This project personally transformed many of the participants, but translating the recommendations into institutional change and transforming others within their departments proved difficult—because not all members of each department participated in the whole experience. A one-hour seminar or forum that brings faculty and students together does not recreate the process. To transform a department is extremely difficult because it requires breaking silences that have developed historically within the culture of science. Change requires concentrated work within a few departments, involving a significant number of faculty and graduate students, and in some cases all faculty. • Academia is quietly and systematically keeping its women from succeeding (Marcie Bianco, Quartz, 4-30-16) • Sexualized Images Undermine Women's Success In Academia (Zhana Vrangalova, Forbes, 10-30-17) • True Confessions: Feminist Professors Tell Stories Out of School the book, edited by Susan Gubar.

__label__cc	0.743113	0.256887	REVIEW: All Rights Reserved, Gregory Scott Katsoulis In a world where every word and gesture is copyrighted, patented or trademarked, one girl elects to remain silent. Speth Jime is anxious to deliver her Last Day speech and celebrate her transition into adulthood. The moment she turns fifteen, Speth must pay for every word she speaks, for every nod, for every scream and even every gesture of affection. She’s been raised to know the consequences of falling into debt, and can’t begin to imagine the pain of having her eyes shocked for speaking words that she’s unable to afford. But when Speth’s friend Beecher commits suicide rather than work off his family’s crippling debt, she can’t express her shock and dismay without breaking her Last Day contract and sending her family into Collection. Rather than read her speech—rather than say anything at all—she closes her mouth and vows never to speak again, sparking a movement that threatens to destroy her, her family and the entire city around them. All Rights Reserved stands upon a truly amazing concept, one that becomes more and more recognisable and tangible with each passing day that the orange man sits perched in a particular white house, but its world-building, characterisation and writing really let the initial idea down. And, I am just frustrated, you know? Because this could have been so groundbreaking and refreshing after nigh on a decade of an over-saturated market of same-same dystopian fiction, but the execution just really was not there. And, because of us reading so many of them, we are all far too aware of the fact that a dystopian is reliant on its execution; on the world it describes, on the people whose suffering it elicits. Without them, everything on the page just feels blurred around the page; like wisps of intangible smoke blowing away to some unknowable place. And, All Rights Reserved was as out-of-focus and insubstantial as it gets. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for sending me a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This retrospective study evaluated whether the shortage of norepinephrine had an adverse effect on patients admitted to the intensive care unit with a diagnosis of severe sepsis or septic shock. Methods: This was a retrospective chart review, which compared patients who received norepinephrine versus those who did not. Eligible patients were those ≥ years old who were admitted to an intensive care unit with a diagnosis of sepsis and were initiated on a vasopressor to maintain hemodynamic stability. The specific primary endpoint was whether using norepinephrine versus other vasopressors had an effect on ICU length of stay. Secondary outcomes included mortality, blood pressure, mean arterial pressure, development of renal insufficiency, and vasopressor requirements. Results: There were 288 patients screened and 214 patients who met the inclusion criteria (norepinephrine group=106 and nonnorepinephrine group=108). After accounting for potential differences in disease severity (APACHE II score), age, weight and gender, there was no difference in ICU length of stay (p=0.4); however, the odds of survival were 5.9 (95% CI: 3.1 to 11.1) times higher for those in the non-norepinephrine group (p<0.0001). Conclusion: Based on this retrospective analysis, patients that did not receive norepinephrine had a similar ICU LOS but had a higher rate of survival. The norepinephrine shortage did not have an adverse effect on patient outcomes. sets for IV-SC conversion may get better clinical and safety outcomes. Septic shock, Norepinephrine, Vasopressor, Drug shortage. The Surviving Sepsis Campaign recommends adequate fluid administration with crystalloids as first line therapy to restore blood pressure and perfusion [1,2]. Patients that do not receive an adequate response from fluids typically require the use of a vasopressive agent to improve mean arterial pressure (MAP). There is debate regarding which agent provides the most benefit for patients with severe sepsis or septic shock unresponsive to fluid resuscitation. Previously, there was no guidance for the use of norepinephrine versus dopamine as first line therapy [1,2]. However, the most recent guidelines recommend norepinephrine as the first line vasopressor (grade 1B recommendation) [1]. Dopamine is now considered an alternative vasopressor to norepinephrine in patients with low risk of tachyarrhythmias. Epinephrine remains an optional add-on agent for patients needing additional support to maintain a MAP of 65 mmHg. The use of vasopressin can be used to improve MAP or decrease norepinephrine (NE) dosage in patients receiving norepinephrine. Phenylephrine is not recommended in the treatment of septic shock except in specific situations. Concern exists for using other vasopressors as first line agents based on perceived physiologic effects. Tachycardia, effects on splanchnic circulation, as well as hyperlactatemia may be associated with epinephrine, while a decrease in stroke volume due to peripheral vasoconstriction may be seen with phenylephrine [3-5]. In 2004, the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP) evaluated the impact of drug shortages in hospitals [6]. The survey showed nearly all respondants believed drug shortages had changed their practice, and a majority thought patient care had been compromised. Drug shortages affect the amount of time pharmacists are spending searching for or acquiring alternative products. In 2011, ASHP conducted a follow-up survey and compared to the 2004 survey, pharmacists were spending nearly three times the amount of hours addressing drug shortages (3 vs. 9 h) [7]. In 2011, a drug shortage involving norepinephrine required the use of alternative agents to improve hemodynamics when initial fluid resuscitation therapy was inadequate. This study was designed to evaluate whether the norepinephrine shortage had an impact on patient outcomes. The primary endpoint was whether using other vasopressors had an effect on intensive care unit (ICU) length of stay. Secondary endpoints evaluated included mortality, systolic blood pressure, MAP, development of renal insufficiency, and vasopressor requirements. Our institution has six different ICU services: neuroscience, surgical-trauma, cardiovascular, cardiothoracic, medical, and medical-surgical. This was a retrospective review of patients admitted to an ICU between September 2010 and June 2011 with a diagnosis of septic shock and initiated on a vasopressive agent. Using a query into the University Hospital Consortium (UHC) database, patients who were diagnosed with an ICD 9 code of severe sepsis or septic shock and received norepinephrine, dopamine, vasopressin, phenylephrine, or epinephrine were identified. Patients who were = 18 years of age were reviewed in more detail through electronic and medical records to determine their eligibility. Patients with a discharge diagnosis of cardiogenic shock or without a diagnosis of severe sepsis or septic shock were excluded from the study. Prior to any data collection, patients were assigned to the norephinephrine (NE) or the non- norephineprhine (non-NE) group based on their utilization of norepinephrine. Disease severity was determined for each patient based on laboratory and clinical values set forth by the Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) II score [8-16]. The APACHE II score was calculated using patient data within 24 h of ICU admission. If a laboratory value required for the APACHE II score calculation was not found in the medical records within the first 24 h of ICU admission, the first available value was utilized to satisfy the calculation. If patients did not have an arterial line to measure MAP, systolic and diastolic pressures were utilized to calculate MAP (1/3 SBP x 2/3 DBP = MAP). Patients that were not being ventilated utilized a fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) of 0.21 to satisfy this parameter, and if an arterial pH was not drawn a value of 7.4 was utilized. If a laboratory value was not recorded in the medical chart, a normal value was substituted for the missing value in order for the APACHE II score to be calculated. If a patient had more than two laboratory values missing for APACHE II score calculation, the patient was excluded. The starting dose, maximum dose on day one of therapy, and maximum dose during therapy for all vasopressors were collected on all patients. When infusions were documented in mililiters per hour (mL/h), the rate was calculated based on drug concentration and weight to determine the appropriate infusion rate (mcg/kg/min). The lowest recorded systolic blood pressure (SBP) based on arterial monitoring was recorded as well as lowest MAP. When MAP values less than 65 mmHg were recorded, the total number of hours per day was calculated to determine the length of time the MAP was below 65 mmHg. Patients who developed renal insufficiency requiring dialysis were recorded to evaluate adverse patient outcomes. The study was approved by the Institutional Review Board. Baseline characteristics and demographics were compared between the two groups using chi-square tests (for binary data), two sample t-tests (for normally distributed continuous data), and Wilcoxon rank sum tests (for non-normally distributed continuous data), as appropriate. The primary outcome of length of stay in the ICU was evaluated using a negative binomial model. Secondary outcomes were evaluated using linear mixed-effects models for repeated measures (SBP and MAP), a logistic regression model (survival rate), and analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) models (maximum serum creatinine (SCr), and lowest urine output (UOP), levels during time in hospital) to evaluate differences in between the NE and non-NE groups. Age, gender, weight, and APACHE II score were included as covariates in all models. Along with adjusting the various covariates previously listed, the renal insufficiency model was also adjusted for baseline SCr, and the UOP model was also adjusted for 24 h urine output per kilogram (UOP/kg). An a priori value of a=0.05 was used to determine statistical significance. For SBP and MAP, the interaction between time and group was also included to evaluate change over time between the NE and non-NE groups. There were 288 patients who initially met the search criteria from the UHC database. Of these 288 patients, 74 were excluded. Reasons for exclusion included no vasopressor administration (n=54), incomplete data (n=11), duplicate admissions into the ICU during one hospitalization (n=6), and diagnosis of cardiogenic shock (n=3). Of the 214 patients included in the analysis, 106 were in the NE, and 108 in the non- NE group. Significant differences in baseline characteristics between the two groups were seen in serum albumin, APACHE II score, and lactate level (Table 1). Most importantly, patients in the norepinephrine group had a higher risk of mortality, based on the calculated APACHE II score (30.0 vs. 27.0; p<0.01). Most of the patients included were admitted to the Medical ICU or the Medical-Surgical ICU (n=171).

Table 2: Patient Outcomes-Adjustedmeansfrom modelsa. There was a significant difference favoring the non-NE patients when comparing 28 day mortality (NE=77.4% vs. non- NE=37.0%; p<0.001) before adjusting for age, weight, gender, and APACHE II score (Table 2). Using a logistic regression model and accounting for baseline characteristics (ie, APACHE II score, age, weight, and gender), the odds of survival were 5.9 (95% CI: 3.1 to 11.1) times higher for those in the non-NE group compared to those in the NE group (p<0.001). The odds of survival were 2.1 (95% CI: 1.1 to 4.0) times higher for females than males (p=0.02) in this model. The interaction between time and group was not significant for SBP (p=0.2), so the main effect of group was examined (averaged over all time points). There was no significant difference in the average SBP over time between these two groups of patients (NE: 85.9 mmHg; non-NE: 88.5 mmHg; p=0.3). There was a significant time by group interaction for the MAP model. The MAP decreased on average 0.28 mmHg (95% CI: -0.43 to -0.14) each day for the NE group and increased on average 0.19 mmHg (95% CI: -0.06 to 0.45) each day for the non-NE group (p=0.002). ANCOVA models evaluated renal insufficiency and showed no significant difference in average maximum SCr between NE and non-NE (NE: 4.0; non-NE: 3.9; p=0.6). There was no significant difference in average lowest UOP/kg between non-NE and NE groups (NE: 0.3; non-NE: 0.4; p=0.09). Vasopressor use Only 11.3% (n=12) of patients in the NE group vs. 31.5% (n=34) of patients in the non-NE group received dopamine during their time in the ICU (p<0.01). The highest utilized agent in the non-NE group was phenylephrine (85.2%; n=92) with vasopressin being the second most commonly used (51.9%; n=56). When evaluating average starting doses between the two treatment arms, the only difference was noted with vasopressin (NE: 0.036 ± 0.012 units/h; non-NE: 0.030 ± 0.013 units/h; p=0.02). Differences were noted in the maximum dose on day 1 of vasopressor therapy between the two groups with phenylephrine (NE: 148.6 ± 56.1 mcg/min; non-NE: 121.6 ± 53.1 mcg/min; p=0.02) and vasopressin (NE: 0.043 ± 0.01 units/min; non-NE: 0.036 ± 0.011 units/ min; p=0.01). The 2012 sepsis guidelines state that norepinephrine should be the first line agent; however, in 2008, there was no distinction between norepinephrine or dopamine as first line agents [1,17]. In this retrospective analysis we did not find a difference in ICU LOS between the two comparator groups. We did find that patients who received NE had a higher mortality risk compared to patients who did not receive NE. At the time of data collection, the 2012 sepsis guidelines had not been published. It was interesting to see how infrequently dopamine was utilized in the non-NE group, especially since the alternative first-line agent, norepinephrine was on shortage. A meta-analysis comparing dopamine and norepinephrine by De Backer and colleagues showed increased mortality and higher incidence of arrhythmic events when dopamine was administered to patients with septic shock [11]. The current guidelines now recommend against the use of dopamine as an alternative to NE and should only be considered in patients at low risk of tachyarrhythmias. We were unable to determine the specific rationales for the choice of vasopressor utilized in this study, which is a limitation of a retrospective chart review. Also, evaluation of the overall vasopressor use showed that phenylephrine was used at a very high rate in the non- NE group, which is surprising based on the previous sepsis guidelines [1]. Unfortunately, we were unable to quantify/evaluate which of the vasopressors were initiated first based on limitations in documentation, especially if multiple vasopressors were initiated at similar time points. While this study showed better survival rates for the non-NE group during the shortage, there are limitations. Laboratory data was not always recorded and by imputing missing lab values, there may be some bias in the calculated APACHE score. There was also some subjectivity in calculating the APACHE II score due to utilization of discharge or death notes. We tried to minimize variability in this area by having only one individual calculate all APACHE scores and review the notes. This was a small study based on the duration of NE shortage. It is not known whether a larger patient population or a longer NE shortage may have changed the results. Finally, only patients with documented severe sepsis or septic shock were included in this analysis. It is possible that there were concomitant illnesses affecting the patients and the potential that these patients could have suffered from a different form of shock but were categorized as septic. We evaluated the impact of a norepinephrine shortage on outcomes in patients admitted for septic shock. There was no significant difference in ICU LOS between the two groups. After adjusting 28 day mortality for disease severity, weight, gender, and age, patients who were in the non-NE group had a higher survival rate. The shortage of norepinephrine did not adversely affect patient outcomes.

There's no shame in that, as I have seen many campaigns retool and make it even further the second time around than they could've ever hoped the first time. With any luck, that will be the case for Dawn of the Archmage. The skirmish miniatures game from SolarFlare Games is back up on Kickstarter with a revamped campaign. You can check it out now. SolarFlare Games Launches Dawn of the Archmage Kickstarter The mages of Sorcado may not be in charge anymore, but that doesn't mean they're weak.

It allows containing various kinds of information such as: album cover artwork, title, artist, album, track number, and other information about the song to be stored permanently inside the MP3 file. Unlike the Library approach that some music software use to keep information about the songs, MP3 tags are a portable solution. Typical music library example is iTunes Library. iTunes stores rating (stars) data in their own database like files. This makes rating data available only for the current iTunes installation. In case if this data is stored as an MP3 tag, any other software or hardware player also will be able to read it. Initially the MP3 files were unable to carry any data about the song. In 1996 Eric Kemp offered to add a small chunk of data to the end of MP3 audio file. This MP3 tags version is now known as ID3v1 (ID3 version 1). Eric’s idea quickly became the de facto standard for storing metadata inside the MP3 files. First MP3 tags version had a grave disadvantage. It was only 128 bytes long, which could have been insufficient to carry enough data about the song. It also had no respect for non-roman languages especially for multi-byte encoded. Japanese characters are a good example. In 1998 ID3v2 was created. MP3 tags become a variable size piece of data and the internationalization problem was solved by introducing the UTF-16 encoding support. Storing of album cover images inside the MP3 files also became possible. Modern MP3 files can carry more than enough kinds of data for most listeners.

__label__cc	0.649874	0.350126	FICTIVE FORESTS – ROBERT TURRIFF MAIN SPACE EXHIBITION JANUARY 6 – FEBRUARY 10, 2012 RECEPTION: FRIDAY, JANUARY 6, 2012 AT 8 PM ARTIST TALK: SATURDAY, JANUARY 7 AT 2 PM 1004, MACLEOD TRAIL S.E, CALGARY, ALBERTA This Installation offers the viewer a glimpse of both the artifice in cinema and the construction of representation in art practice. The viewer brackets causal explanation and analysis to experience the total effect of the work, including the cinematic narrative of their own presence within the process. The gap between Turriff’s artistic intention and the performative aspects of the installation enacted by the audience provides a space in which the viewer may (re)introduce meaning and interpretation of/for the installation. In participating, the viewer claims a place in an old growth forest, however fictive. ROBERT TURRIFF is currently living in Vancouver, British Columbia. He graduated in 2009 from the Alberta College of Art and Design in Calgary. Turriff’s artwork is situated at the intersection of art and craft, informed by his experience as a film industry technician and as an artist. A BLACK MIRROR IN THE WOODS /MIKHEL PROULX The image is an ancient forest. Dappled light perforates latticework canopies of whorled pine and fern fronds; spruce tubers pierce black earth and spit back tendrils of bending roots; vine maples swathe mammoth, ancient cedar stumps and limbs of old-growth trunks; lush mosses encrust bubbling barks in richly layered greens and umbers. It is all, of course, artifice: a type of untruth told shrewdly with plaster, pigment and plastic. This is Robert Turriff’s multi-media installation Fictive Forests. Here, several maquettes are miniature forests: free-floating vignettes backdrop a filmic wide-shot in which viewers are focal. We, perfunctory performers, are both back-stage and in-frame, simultaneously on the set and behind-the-scene in this immersive artwork. By way of the cinematic ‘mirror shot’ technique our likeness is interlaced in the backcloth-constructed landscape, and is screened live at the gallery’s rear. In the resultant video a viewer may recognize her own body, though temporally disjointed in a delayed playback. Our own bodies are reproduced in a cinematic experience: we ourselves are forefront to an artificial landscape— a forgery of a forest. The elaborate set-up is obviously not intended to deceive: before we glimpse the emergent video we have already been exposed to the constructed illusion. It is a picture that draws attention to itself as a fabrication: a metafiction that writes itself through our participation. This self-conscious rupture of the ‘fourth-wall’ insists that we take centre-stage as involuntary actors. It reveals ‘the guts’ of the movie industry but simultaneously asks that we partake in a suspension of disbelief— ignoring, if only momentarily, the technological presence in the image of nature. This cinematic experience is perhaps parallel to the ways in which technology transforms nature, both physically and via our experience of it. Turriff’s focus is doubled: in his day job he works as a sculptor in the field of film-production and in his childhood he enjoyed experiences of nature in the North Vancouver suburbs that straddle dense–but-waning coastal rainforests. His installation recalls the West Coast’s parallel histories of cinematic and commercial mediation of nature throughthe film and forestry industries. Both industries intervene in the landscape: while cinematic depictions reform nature in illusionistic spaces, the plunder of natural resources reshapes it physically. The artwork bows equally to these legacies of domination of nature and representation of it, and finds footing in the history of landscape painting. Like idyllic English gardens— ostensibly untamed but in fact cultivated and manicured— most landscape imagery ultimately bears little resemblance to the unruliness of nature. Its endeavour is one of ‘capturing’ the wild and ‘fixing’ it in refined scenes. Tacit in the picturesque landscape (an 18th Century invention) is a proclaimed authority: an assertion of control over the land, a highly-composed ordering of the wild, a taming of nature within the edges of the picture plane. This tendency informed colonial sensibilities which framed nature as a passive and possessed resource, and further reinforced this perspective as commonplace. Actual landscapes were sought out and appreciated only when they conformed to fashionable style. Artists and Romantic-era eco-tourists alike turned their backs to savage vistas in favour of reproducing them in the surface of a Black Mirror. This handheld, convex, tinted mirror was used to reflect and transform the landscape in real time so as to better portray the scene away from which its holder would face. This imaging technology— a round lens like a shallow inkpot— seized nature within its circumference and dimmed the unruly range of its natural light to render the depth and magnitude of the wild as flat and manageable. This trend worked to solidify the privileged position of the reproduced image over its original to the degree that nature could be identified only so far as it could be categorized as either representable or not. Indeed, present imaging technologies have progressed from this historical point so much so that if a tree falls in the forest and no one is around to represent it, technology may get the job done alone. We might easily see how ‘authentic experiences’ are created and validated by technological mediation, especially given the ubiquity of photography. Tourists who seldom look up from the viewfinder of their point-and-shoot are the norm, as are mothers who won’t let a day pass without taking pictures of their child . This is so commonplace that one might nearly say if an event goes unphotographed, it didn’t ‘really’ happen. The realm of media indwells the real. This is not to bemoan the loss of ‘authentic experience’, but rather to identify that experience takes place on multiple levels, and that imaging media play a role in authenticating any given experience. By extension, media doesn’t risk obscuring our experience of any ‘real’ or ‘authentic’ nature, but rather the nature of experiencing nature is implicated with our experience of media. The last time I visited Turriff ’s home city and walked through Stanley Park I experienced an Emily Carr landscape… and then another …then another. While Carr’s was perhaps a remote mediation of the place, my experience of the landscape was nested in the popular imagery of her canvases. This layering of technology over nature is pervasive: “like the fish, who do not know they are wet,” says Koert van Mensvoort, “we are living in a technologically mediated space.”1 Our shared myth of the purity of nature is a conditioned one. From cultured landscape painting to forests staged in filmic backdrops, nature is not only mediated but idealized, rarefied and ultimately imaginary. The protagonist in Robert Turriff’s cinematic narrative may be this romanticized nature, but only as much as it implicates each of us as players in the act of its mediation. He presents us with a Black Mirror aimed above the shoulder, perchance to catch our own likeness in its reflection. Yes, he has created a Fictive Forest,but his installation also begs the question: do non-fictional forests exist? 1 van Mensvoort, Koert. What You See Is What You Feel. LAP Lambert Acad.

__label__wiki	0.712771	0.712771	Wollaton Historical & Conservation Society DOVECOTE MUSEUM Projects - Moss Cottage WOLLATON FAMILIES WALLED GARDEN RESTORATION HISTORICAL NOTES ROBERT SMYTHSON 338 TROWELL ROAD, WOLLATON (with a comparison to Nos 330 and 332 Trowell Road) DESCRIPTION: This very substantial brick built and roof tiled cottage has a central entrance with porch over. There are chimneys at either end. Originally Moss Cottage was a pair of two bedroomed cottages identical to 330-332 (now extended) and 334-336 (demolished in 1970’s). The two front doors, (see plan) opened into the Front Room, with a door located immediately inside, on the left or right, giving access to the stairs which led up to the bedrooms above. One of the bedrooms was on the open landing and the second off it through a door. There are no rear windows on the first floor, the roof sloping down to the ground floor. These three pairs of cottages were presumable all built at the same time for colliers or farm workers. The colliery at this time being located by the Canal to the South of Balloon Wood. By 1848 the two cottages had been knocked together, as they were then occupied by James Taylor the “Colliery Agent” or manager, who no doubt required a bigger cottage. The two separate doorways were closed with brick work with a window above. (See left cottage doorway, right.) A new central door was inserted leading to a new hall, which was created by the removal of the right hand staircase. This explains why the doorway is not exactly in the centre of the building. COTTAGE A COTTAGE B The two cottages c 1840, with two separate entrances and stairs leading to the two bedrooms. Plan adapted from plan below by Robert Ellis Estate Agents, showing Moss Cottage in 2018 Above, right, the new central door and Hallway which replaced the stairway in Cottage A. Upstairs, above the Hallway, the main post of that former staircase has been cut down, and floored over so converting the former landing / bedroom of Cottage A into a separate bedroom, accessed from the remaining landing. Downstairs there are now two rooms on either side of the new hallway. To the right is the Living Room (below) which has three 19th century windows (one to the side) and its original wainscoting up to window level and original beams. The right window was the original doorway to cottage A. To the left of the Hallway is the Parlour, (below). This is identical to the living room, with two front and one side window. All appear to be 19th century. There is a fireplace on the external wall, and original beams. On the internal central wall there is a door to the stairs (below, left). The left window is the bricked up doorway of cottage B. That explains why the window is not actually the same size as the original right hand window. There are further rooms on the ground floor at the rear. These include the kitchen (with an old range). Before 1840 there would have been separate kitchens for each cottage with a central range with chimney above. The chimney must have been removed more recently when the existing range fell into disuse. There was a scullery (now a bathroom), Larder (with an original brick thrall) and a Store. This may have been a stable, added by James Taylor after 1840. He had a horse and the 1863 rent book shows he rented the cottage and the two adjoining pastures at the back, now developed with housing. The back of the cottage shows an angular roof coming down to first floor level, there being no rear windows for the bedrooms, as with many of the cottages on Trowell Rd. There are substantial outbuildings and the courtyard is paved with “WOLLATON” bricks. Upstairs there are now three bedrooms. The stairs lead up to the landing and then to Bedroom 3 with a blocked fireplace. (See left). The Landing (below) would also have been the second bedroom of cottage B. Below, the landing and the door that was put into the former party wall giving access to the two bedrooms in cottage A, now bedrooms 1 and 2. To the right is the landing bedroom of No. 332, showing the party wall with No 330 and the stairs in 2003. According to Pamela (Bland) this was the same layout as in Nos 334 and 336, before they were demolished. Evidence that the three pairs of cottages ere originally identical. Bedroom 2, right, has a window at the front, whilst Bedroom 1 also has a window to the side, and an original fireplace. The windows appear to be original, the front one being a slider. The top third pane from the left was replaced in 1941 after an air raid. The frosted replacement being all that was available at the time! None of the bedrooms have rear windows because of the roof line. Outside there are outbuildings (above right) and a and a courtyard paved with “WOLLATON” bricks.

In 1925 Moss Cottage was sold by Lord Middleton to Wilfred Bland. He died in 1930 leaving a widow and an 8 year old son Harry, who lived here until he died in 2018 at the age of 95.

They were identical to No 338 and, apart from a new roof and the addition of a porch, No 332 would have looked identical to Cottage B in 1840. (See 2003 photo left.) However both cottages have now been extended with additions at either end, beyond the chimneys on what were originally their end walls. They have also been greatly extended to the rear. PROTECTION FOR THE FUTURE Moss Cottage is listed Grade II. An 18th century cottage, it has survived most of the twentieth century untouched and, as such, is unique in Wollaton. Its original neighbours have been either demolished or seriously damaged by alterations. The same should not be allowed to happen here. Every effort should be made to ensure its preservation and the retention of as many of its original, or 19th century, features as possible. It has been known as “MOSS COTTAGE” for well over 100 years. Wollaton Historical and Conservation Society.

__label__cc	0.627015	0.372985	SHARE Ebisu Retaliates: No More Drift Missiles Ebisu Retaliates: No More Drift Missiles 29th November 2016 176 Comments Back in the day, Speedhunters was one of the first media outlets to cover the mayhem that occurs three times a year up at Ebisu Circuit in Japan’s Fukushima Prefecture. During ‘Drift Matsuri’ weekends, people are free to drift from 6:00am on Saturday morning right through until 4:00pm on Sunday afternoon on any of the tracks within the Ebisu compound. For those that enjoy a bit of sideways action it’s nothing short of drift heaven. The first couple of times I covered the event the atmosphere was electrifying. You’d get all sorts of people too, from young kids starting off in naturally aspirated S13s to D1 drivers bringing their fully-prepped practice cars to hit Minami over and over again. To experience the full impact of the event I used to sleep at the track. I’d fold my Legacy wagon’s rear seat down and lay across the trunk, wrap myself up in a futon and allow the squealing of tires and limiter bashing put me to sleep. Of course I never got much shut eye, there was just too much happening for that. The countless opportunities for awesome shots and the camaraderie I witnessed really made the event special, but one aspect quickly became apparent. The whole idea behind the Matsuri is practice, lots of it, and often pushing beyond the limits that most would not test at a regular track day or competition. To do this, some participants got themselves behind the wheels of cheap cars and proceeded to tap walls and other friends’ cars, and by the end of the weekend – if they made it that far – they were left with nothing more than an unsalvageable wreck. And so the ‘missile’ was born; a practice car you don’t mind destroying for the pure exhilaration of doing stuff you wouldn’t dare with your regular drift car. It was cool seeing these beat up cars the first time and the second time too, but then it struck a nerve. These guys were destroying chassis that held high demand in the drift community and were quickly becoming scarce through age alone, so the more I saw it happening the more it seemed wrong. And that’s before you even start thinking about safety. I haven’t been alone in this thinking, and now it’s come to the point that Ebisu Circuit together with Powervehicles – who make it possible for so many foreigners to participate in the Matsuris and the Gaijin ‘G1′ Grand Prix, have collectively said enough’s enough. Essentially, Ebisu won’t have it any more. They will no longer accept missiles. Small dings and accidents happen all the time, and that’s okay, but whether or not cars will be allowed back on the tracks at Ebisu will now depend on how well they’re repaired after an incident. If a car is not repaired to an acceptable safety level as determined by Ebisu officials, it’s game over. This will force people to drive with more care, be more respectful of others, and most importantly, take safety more seriously. As Andy of Powervehicles told us, “When cars are like a crushed beer can they won’t hold up in a big wreck. People are faster these days, tires deliver good grip, you are really moving so your car needs to be safe.” Then of course there’s the image of the sport. Ebisu prides itself on being the home of drifting, a place drifters all around the world dream to drive at, so allowing semi-destroyed cars on track only tarnishes the reputation. It’s a controversial topic, but the question is: where do you stand? A practice car is a practice car, and therefore it’s expendable and should be used to test the limit, right? But where are those limits? I’ve seen Daigo Saito drive at Drift Matsuris over and over again, and despite his practice cars taking some serious hits, they were always fixed and safe. He’d never put anyone else on track in danger. I personally think the guys at Ebisu and Powervehicles are doing the right thing. Do you? dino@speedhunters.com Thanks to Andrew at Powervehicles.com for the additional images Drift Matsuri coverage on Speedhunters The Fukushima Files: Agent K The Fukushima Files: Racing Garage Fastest Heel Up, Wheel Up, Bring It Back, Come Rewind December 11, 2018 / 97 Comments 1:36 amNovember 29, 2016 jay8393 Personally, I think this is a very good move. 1) Promotes safety. Sometimes I look at missiles and it scares me to see sharp angles and parts around the cars. 2) Make drivers to drive with care. Which means there will be less smashed up cars, that as said in the article, that are getting scarce and are now highly-sought after. 3) Proper practice can be had. I know some people who just smashes up cars just for fun, using the "missiles are meant to be trashed" statement as an excuse. But then this move only applies to Ebisu. People might just move to other circuits that does not have such restriction and continue smashing up their cars. 1:37 amNovember 29, 2016 abezzegh87 destroying classic cars is wrong, destroying sought-after jdm cars are a sin 1:37 amNovember 29, 2016 DinoSawr Safety should be paramount. When I went to Matsuri there I saw a lot of beat up cars but none really seemed "unsafe" to me. I guess it will depend on what they classify has safe. 2:28 amNovember 29, 2016 baltesar FCDFS 2004 FORD TAURUS 97,000 miles, does run but needs work, $1000-obo 812-239-7044 ...more Joine now ***----------> ᴵᴵᴵᴵᴵᴵᴵᴵhttp://www.daily.jobs14.ℂℴℳᴵᴵᴵᴵᴵᴵᴵᴵ 2:52 amNovember 29, 2016 Paddy McGrath Honestly, it's about time and it finally removes that weak argument people in Europe use of 'they do it like this in Japan.' People need to take pride in their cars. Yes, shit happens but some of the absolute wrecks that pass for drift cars in Europe is shocking. 3:02 amNovember 29, 2016 importfan The whole missile car movement has been fun and really important in the drifting culture, but it was going to end anyway sooner or later. The cars used as missiles platforms are becoming more and more requested and their prices are going to become too high in a matter of years to justify buying that sort of car for the sole purpose of destroying it. At the same time there aren't newer cars that can be used in the same ways, they're too expensive, it's too hard to find cheap parts or it's just too difficult to tune and mantain them. So you can agree or not but there isn't really a choice, its just the natural evolution of things. 10:34 amNovember 25, 2017 Everett If you buy a somewhat good condition jdm car and make it a missile you are an evil person, but if it is trashed when you buy it I see no problem in thrashing it further, especially if you are learning to drift. Then instead of destroying a good condition car you are only risking damaging a car already on the brink of being unrepairable 3:34 amNovember 29, 2016 Just a Southern Sergal. It really hurts to see these cars with huge wrecks, especially its chassis involved... Think about someone who's dreaming to own an FR JDM car, even the young ones! ...like me... T_T 3:56 amNovember 29, 2016 greenroadster Dino, sounds okay to ban wrecked car for drifting on Ebisu. But eventually they will find other places to drift those cars. And to try new sht out there for the firs time in a cheap car. Hopefully not on the street. 4:16 amNovember 29, 2016 JaySwaffield They are doing right thing. proper drift capable or even RWD car are getting thin on ground. 4:36 amNovember 29, 2016 upernoob i truly support this decision. Fun is nice and all but safety is still number 1. 4:38 amNovember 29, 2016 Jay_TrackAddict Its about time this decision was made, you wouldn't be allowed to do it in any other professional race series so why should drifting be any different. It'll hopefully preserve a few more cars that we're being eyed up as missiles. 4:46 amNovember 29, 2016 Flavien Vidal I'm pretty damn sure this has something to do with the drift car accident that occured recently and got national news coverage all over japan... Basically a drift car lost a wheel and that wheel ended up hitting a spectator who got badly banged up. In typical japanese news coverage way, they heavily overdid it and that brought people to be "scared" of drifting... sucks.. http://www.sankei.com/affairs/news/161120/afr1611200011-n1.html That was in Nikko circuit... 4:46 amNovember 29, 2016 danilloforti Nothing tastes better than almost lose what you love most at every turn ... I never understood the meaning of rich kids missile in US... After ayrton senna no one else can die in an automotive sport, this made losing all the fun of the sport... group B, formula 1.. rally group B. now missiles.. We will all have electric cars and homesexual children in the next 20 years 4:57 amNovember 29, 2016 TPLC2 What? This has nothing to do with Ayrton Senna. It's a matter of a track trying to ensure it and it's patrons' safety. 5:07 amNovember 29, 2016 lachapsnl8 It certainly makes sense to have a threshold of, "okay that is not safe." Though I hope the officials do not take it too far and become overly strict. I think non structural damage should be allowed (cosmetic only) It's hard to compare the grassroots guys to Daigo who you say always has a nicely repaired car. With a full shop and large budget at his disposal I'd certainly hope so. Also, do you want cars to be extremely unsafe 5:23 amNovember 29, 2016 DavidLy1 well done Ebisu circuit and powervehicles! 5:32 amNovember 29, 2016 PartBoxDotCom Driftland here in the UK implemented the same ruling a while back, it was the right thing to do. Pretty sure they would still do a Missile only type event every now and then, but there would still be standards that had to be adheared to. Not just the safety aspect to bear in mind, i'd be pretty pissed if some shitbox BMW was hammering the door in on my Supra...! 5:48 amNovember 29, 2016 MPistol happy as hell to hear this - but of course it's probably 3-5 years late 5:53 amNovember 29, 2016 Andrew86 I think its a good thing. Look at it from an event organizers standpoint. If you are scouting a new site and talking with property owner about how the events go, what you do to run a safe event and do, etc. They go online and start looking at what a drift event looks like and they come across a video of a bunch of "missiles" bashing into one another, they are likely to turn the organizer down. Why? Because if the drivers don't respect their own property or the property of their fellow participants, what are they going to do to my lot? As a former event organizer, it's very hard to convince a property owner to let you throw a legit event. Even if that place is already a motorsports dedicated facility. They don't want a bunch of people out there tearing up their site for little profit. They want an event that leaves the facility as nice as before the event started. Missiles will lead people down the wrong pass about what drifting is really about. 6:00 amNovember 29, 2016 mrwicksy danilloforti Well if this is true, hopefully the world will also be free of bigots like yourself. 6:11 amNovember 29, 2016 speedhunters_dino jay8393 Most of the other circuits are stricter... abezzegh87 Amen! DinoSawr Well if it doesn't have the structural integrity to hold up to a big shunt for starters. Will be interesting to see how they enforce it. Paddy McGrath Another Amen right here! importfan Well they are killing off supplies, the end isn't too far if they keep at it like this greenroadster Yeah hopefully on the street, but I don't think there are any other tracks in Japan that would allow people smashing up missiles... Flavien Vidal Yeah the Magician car. But that's a properly maintained drift car during a drift soukoukai, not a missile being abused during a Matsuri. Same form of motorsport, totally different scenario... but then again the media is good at generalizing danilloforti You'll have to elaborate on that mate, doesn't sound quite right not remotely about the topic at hand. danilloforti i'd be extremely happy with an electric car that goes like the current Tesla S.. 6:21 amNovember 29, 2016 CooperMacmillan So glad this is finally happening. It's a bit sad seeing pics from all the aussies on facebook of their completely destroyed cars after every matsuri. lachapsnl8 It never was nicely repaired, it was a piece of shit with bits missing all over the place but mechanically sound and able to sustain a big hit and give some safety to the driver. Some of the missiles you see towards the end of a Matsuri weekend resemble crushed cars that don't track straight, barely staying in one piece speedhunters_dino Flavien Vidal Yeah, but I'm sure they just auto-censored themselves, trying to bring back some sort of credibility to drifting... I love Japan, but this is a rather typical behavior that does get on nerve from time to time haha... Something went bad and brought spots onto an certain activity: "Let's castrate it and prove everyone how serious and safe we are!!" 6:23 amNovember 29, 2016 awesomefearwave i am personally against this. people should be free to drift in whatever car they please. there shouldn't be restrictions on what you can and can't drive. personally, fuck those people who always bitch about how there are more and more of these desirable drift cars being used as missiles. if you're complaining so much, why not buy one yourself and drive it the way you would? i would take a cheap beater drift car and just beat the living shit out of it. Just adding to the whole debate... A huge majority of those drift missiles in Japan have no papers... A car without its papers cannot be re-registered and is bound to be abandonned in this country. This is the very reason why you have so many cars rotting away. These cars have been given an extra life. Yes, they are destroyed, but they often never were going to make it again on the roads anyway. They were going on those pictures of abadonned japanese cars you see everywhere on internet. Also most of those cars ARE safe. Full roll cage and so on. They look like shit, but that's about it. There are no reason not to let them be on track at all other than reputation for the track owners toward japanese medias following Nikko circuit's accident. 6:54 amNovember 29, 2016 Jordan_Butters Aside from the obvious safety implications, I'm conflicted on this. I can totally see that, in order for the perception of professional drifting to change in the eyes of Joe Public, corporations, sponsors, official bodies and so on that missile drifting needs to be swept well under the rug. The danger is that, to someone who doesn't know much about drifting, they can take one look at missile drifting and assume that drifting = banger racing. That might be enough to sway them from getting more involved, be it as a fan, spectator, bypasser or, even worse, sponsor or investor. On the flip side, almost every sport has this side to it. People still use jumpers for goalposts if they play football in the park, basketball is enjoyed by many in gritty, urban playgrounds, far from the polished appearance of their professional counterparts. The difference is that when we look at those sports we can see that the two can co-exist, and it's necessary that they do to provide both an entry point into the niche and to keep it relatable to those who want to enjoy it as a pastime. I do think 'professional' drifting has found a bit of a scapegoat in missiles. It's a niche that's struggling to pull itself out of the shadows in many cultures, but rather than blaming the amateur/enthusiast side of the sport, maybe it should be looking at how to elevate professional drifting high enough above it that there's no mistaking one for the other. One final note, and one thing that I think many drifters miss out on is 'dressing for the occasion'. If you're attending an event whereby there might be media, or if you're practicing at a new, important or prestigious venue then prepare your car accordingly. I read a very good analogy online a few days ago – 'what you wear to McDonalds is fine for McDonalds. But you wouldn't wear it to The Ritz'. That sums it up pretty well. For as long as people don't know missiles from pro, your appearance, car, behaviour and attitude represents drifting as a whole in these situations. 7:12 amNovember 29, 2016 TurboSteve speedhunters_dino greenroadster i think you missed a "not" there dino danilloforti Keep your homophobia out of this please. It has no place in the comments section here. 7:28 amNovember 29, 2016 Attila_UK This can only be a good thing imo, there is a big difference between learning the limits and deliberately smashing a car up... awesomefearwave Just as much as you believe you should be entitled to drive what you want, how you want, another person is just as entitled to not allow you to do it on his or her property. 7:56 amNovember 29, 2016 Spencer Patton I think that this was bound to happen. There are a lot of complaints about how it makes it harder to get into drifting if you can't get a cheap missile car to beat on, but I highly doubt people in Japan and other places in the world would use these cars if they knew how much the prices on them had gone through the roof. There are collectors all over the world who would love to get ahold of the car and that would allow the seller to afford a nicer car to drift in. Also, in regards to safety, it's not just the cars that are the issue. These drivers are blasting into other people on the track who are drifting in a completely safe manner in cars that are worth a lot more. It's fking rude. Everyone complains about safety regulations being to strict but if people had some common sense and didn't do this kind of bullshit, there would be less regulation. 9:01 amNovember 29, 2016 DarrellDjEvoHill I agree.. you can still push your limit without having to destroy, put others or yourself in danger.I love drifting, but in that case its getting a little too crazy. And giving the wrong impression.. 9:10 amNovember 29, 2016 RezboaDog I agree as well. 9:21 amNovember 29, 2016 RDS I agree , although some people probably wouldn't be happy because it will cost more to have fun . Seriously though , drift missile are sorta like sideways demolition derby if the car is nothing but wreckage . 9:30 amNovember 29, 2016 ChristmasSamura "Keep Drifting Fun" not everybody has the money or time to have the car repaired properly after each event. 9:34 amNovember 29, 2016 Jocky awesomefearwave : and that give you the right to kill someone else by smashing it because your "drift missile" had become an uncontrolable piece of crap? They don't make that only for the look but also for safety reasons. There are beaten drfit missiles and piece of junk with wheels and a motor. The difficulty is to set the limit between the two. 9:45 amNovember 29, 2016 KomradzII It would be great if America was pretty hard on this as well. 9:59 amNovember 29, 2016 Jeikobu This was already being talked about before the nikko accident. 10:51 amNovember 29, 2016 Alex Adrian Flavien Vidal speedhunters_dino This past event, someone did get hurt. I'm pretty sure that was the final straw. Driver with an open face helmet hit the steering wheel and the passenger sustained the typical 3 point seat-belt bruises. They got off lucky. Andy really cares for the people that are out there and I'm sure he just wants to make sure no one gets hurt like that again. With the cars being so powerful not like the article states, safety too has to increase. It's the right move. Nothing will be lost. Ebisu will still be absolute heaven. 11:11 amNovember 29, 2016 PhilippZuppiger I don't see the problem, he kept it total neutral about electric cars and homosexual people. It was just his prediction for the future, so it's up to you to find it good or bad. If that was already to rude, you should ged rid of the comment section. People are so touchy about those themes that we aren't even able to discuss them properly. To the topic on top; I think it's good as long it keeps the sport cheap for beginners wile teaching people respect from others people's health and possessions. 11:49 amNovember 29, 2016 Racetruck How about, "keep drifting safe"? What good is keeping it fun if somebody loses a limb or their ability to walk. If drifting is to be taken seriously, the sport needs to look to other disciplines to see that safety comes first, then speed. If you want to destroy cars, stick with Forza. 12:02 pmNovember 29, 2016 Masse6661 Missle car and broken haggard piece of shit is two different things. Their not saying you can't have a missile.... their saying you can't have a dangerous piece of shit on the track because they know you're just going to try and wreck it/other people with your "no care" attitude... you can still buy a jalopy and door bang or whatever 12:12 pmNovember 29, 2016 zafilicuh like April replied I cannot believe that some one can earn $7119 in 3 weeks ............. see more details http://www.cashpro3.com/ My Uncle Henry recently got an almost new gold Audi RS 5 Convertible just by some part time working online at home... see more,....................... http://www.cashpro3.com/ my Runty Mali just got Toyota Highlander just by some part-time working online with a PC... see more......................... http://www.cashpro3.com/ 12:16 pmNovember 29, 2016 D1RGE speedhunters_dino Flavien Vidal I would think that a wheel coming off in an accident is something that can't be completely controlled, but where a track allows spectators and media IS...therefore the Nikko incident (imo!) has more to do with track safety, and the track's policies. 12:33 pmNovember 29, 2016 andy_B It doesn't say you cannot have a cheap car - I mean if your intention was to limp a wreck in there that was falling apart anyway and drift it then no, I guess that wouldn't work... A certain amount of preparation and time spent on something reasonably priced, then try and not repeatedly smash the shit out of it - that sounds alright doesn't it?? If you're into destroying cars as a way of having fun, then you have a certain amount of disposable income anyway... I feel this has been a long time in coming. Whether it's the reputation Powervehicles and Drift Matsuris have for destroying cars (there is debate in there), or the obvious safety considerations, or even just TIME, missiles maybe needed to happen but also needed to go. In this day and age, you simply can't just let obvious wrecks (even if the still somewhat move under their own power) fly around at 40-90mph, purposely close and semi-out of control, it's merely a matter of time before someone dies and it'll ALL come to a screeching halt. I'm sure for those that got to play, it was incredible and fun. They truly got to push cars to their breaking points and beyond. Freely! I think it ushered in many new drifters and garnered a lot of attention for the sport. But again, it couldn't continue indefinitely. I know it would be unthinkable to allow the Drift Matsuris (as Ebisu has run them) in the USA. No track would allow vehicles in that state to even come off a trailer, much less get parked for the winter, allowed to rust to shit, then only started again to throw at walls with a driver that looks it over for 10 minutes after arriving from the airport hyped to the gills. Standards need to be set and I for one and absolutely happy Ebisu is doing it proactively instead of reactively. Run your deathtrap on your own property where you'll only hurt yourself. Have standards if you're gonna affect others with your actions, like at a track. 1:32 pmNovember 29, 2016 Bro5 No other motorsport would allow people to drive cars with mangled, twisted panels and chassis' - so why should it be allowed for drifting? The argument of destroying now 'rare' and desirable chassis is a bit too butt hurt for me, still a relevant consideration though. 1:34 pmNovember 29, 2016 LukeEVOVIII Drifting doesn't really interest me but I definitely see where you guys are coming from. Vehicles like this shouldn't be destroyed beyond recognition 2:04 pmNovember 29, 2016 JakWhite Doing the right thing, how many photos do you see of people drifting not wearing fire suits/gloves etc or even full face helmets, all that smashing about could blind someone and easily cause a fire. 2:28 pmNovember 29, 2016 NissanPacific Then get out of Motorsports 3:02 pmNovember 29, 2016 Tsuyoshi Shinjo How does the community in Japan feel about this? Pushing limits sometimes means accidents, their cars become battered over time. Why do you think drivers coming out of Japan are next level. I see this as a business move for non locals to profit. Slowly filter the people who can't afford to fix their car for whatever reason, make Ebisu more attractive (no one wants to see UGLY missle cars), and raise prices for foreigners. Ebisu is becoming Power Vehicles. Prices will sky rocket for everything related to Ebisu. For everyone opposed to this, look at the bigger picture. KEEP DRIFTING FUN! Andrew is credited for the additional photos at the bottom of the article. The only photos that are not watermarked is the most battered auto of the whole article. Great way to sway opinions of readers who have not drove there. 3:44 pmNovember 29, 2016 speedhunters_dino Tsuyoshi Shinjo Dude don't read too much into things. Kuma, Suenaga, Andy and Emily all want people to stay safe and minimize the chance of getting hurt. Is that too much to strive for? They aren't banning beaten up cars, they aren't cancelling the Drift Matsuri they want to help keep some level of safety there. The same rules are applied to the Japanese as well as the foreigners JakWhite I'm not sure any of that will change. As far as I know this is all about the cars. But maybe we can get Andy to chime in on here. Bro5 Well it's a given drifting involves a lot of crashing and therefore people attempting to fix lots of damage. Masse6661 Thank you! See someone understands it lol KomradzII But you guys drift on humongous tracks haha, do you even crash? 3:50 pmNovember 29, 2016 Codycasale Finally, save the s13's ChristmasSamura They aren't going to be judging you on paint finish and shine. The car has to meet a certain standard of safety. I don't get people sometimes, I post nicely built time attack cars from Tsukuba with bolted in roll cages and they get destroyed because they are unsafe pieces of crap and the Japanese don't know how to do safety. Now here is someone in Japan attempting to keep a certain (and let's be realistic about it, pretty minimal) level of safety and a lot complain it's going to ruin the sport. Really? RDS So don't crash your car on purpose into a wall. Surely there are other ways to drift and have fun? Jordan_Butters Well presented points but let's keep in mind, they aren't banning missiles, they are just requesting people keep their cars to a certain level of safety. It just means less wall taps 4:04 pmNovember 29, 2016 KamikazeBottleRockets I've only been back for a week now and it seems surreal that I even went at all. I'm all for raising the safety standard but I understand why some people will complain. You can drop $10k in a week at Ebisu easily. Anyone spending that kind of money is going to want tangible results after their time is up. That leads people to push harder than they should before really learning a track, their car and the people around them. I tagged the rear corner of my mint 180SX on school course because I was trying to push harder and harder each lap. Nothing huge, a broken housing and tweaked rear quarter. I did see more than my fair share of cars that looked down right dodgey to drive with. I also learned more from driving with those sketchy cars in fifteen laps than I have in two years of driving local events at home. I think Ebisu will have a hard time keeping costs in check so that the experience is available to a wide range of people but also keeping the safety standards high enough so that they don't draw attention from the wrong people. It all comes down to money really. Can you afford to slowly raise your skill level over multiple trips or are you trying to get the absolute most bang for your buck on a once in a lifetime trip? 4:13 pmNovember 29, 2016 evoCS I totally understand people's points on the "entry level" in sports to be accessible. The big issue with motorsports is the much higher chance of serious injury or worse. A pick-up game of football or basketball isn't as likely to injure you via failure of equipment or venue (unless you're playing somewhere REALLY gritty or dangerous). From my experience here in the US, even the most basic track day requires a certain level of street worthiness from participants cars. Sometimes its a bit higher that what you can get away with on the actual street. You're sharing the track with others and everyone needs to take responsibility for their car and driving. Knowing drifting is a bit of a different animal, a lot of that should still apply. Yeah, it requires a great deal of practice and you have even more opportunity to bang up your car. But a basic level of safety should not dissuade people from trying. Even if it means you miss some track time to get your car back to spec. It should be a reassurance, if anything. Playing with cars is gonna cost you some money, no matter what you want to do. A basic level of safety should not be ignored for reasons of cost. Even our "crapcan" racing series over here in the States have that in mind. 4:50 pmNovember 29, 2016 MR_E_Stranger I feel Alexei from Nori Yaro's Skyline is a good example of a missile done right. It's super rough and rugged but it's always been in a structurally sound condition. I just hope cars of that quality are still allowed to participate as that is a fair and cheap avenue for people to learn to drift and further their skills. In saying that I do also live in Perth, Western Australia and have never actually drifted myself. Purely because my personal cars (my MA70 Aerotop and a MX73 Cressida GLXi) have always been in nice condition and I'm too scared to damage them as they are my only method of transport. If tracks over here like Barbagallo would allow me to participate in an event similar to matsuri with a rough as guts car that still confirmed to safety (ie appropriate roll cages, seats, fire extinguisher and so on) than someone like myself could really get into the sport. 5:21 pmNovember 29, 2016 ChristmasSamura speedhunters_dino ChristmasSamura "Japanese don't know how to do safety" now that's funny cause it's not true. These drift missile cars are perfectly fine. 5:56 pmNovember 29, 2016 Luis2247 I actually agree with this. It's for the safety of the driver and the others. Controversial but wise move. 6:00 pmNovember 29, 2016 MikeyJay70 If someone made a 'new' S chassis that could have used parts bolted to it, I wonder how much it would cost? Something like in the same vain as what America has with muscle car parts. So just a frame, no windows, dash, wiring lights etc... just a bare chassis that's inexpensive enough for people to bolt the running gear, suspension and pass a tech inspection. I dunno... maybe a bad idea... but what if? 8:15 pmNovember 29, 2016 i23sonny Just need to remove the mental aspect that your drift missle will be fine treated like a bumper car and you can hold parts on with duct tape alone. Wall tapping or tandem side swiping doesn't mean you're closer to pro. Drifting is fun without hitting and destroying cars. Sure it's not always intentional, but now know your should try harder not to hit, missle or not. 8:37 pmNovember 29, 2016 Derns1957 I'm alarmed that any one can d*** profit $10233 in weeks .......................... details http://tinyurl.com/youtube-have-jobs 9:20 pmNovember 29, 2016 detectivebacon Rwd cars aren't in unlimited suply. People need to learn this. 9:50 pmNovember 29, 2016 OfficialWCP Drift missiles have a significant impact on the perception of the import scene within society as a whole, regardless of drift, drag, circuit or street and the sooner they are gone the better. Kids think its now cool to own a clapped out piece of shit, give no fucks and throw caution to the wind and it makes the rest of us look bad by association. 10:41 pmNovember 29, 2016 Castro i dont think skaters should be able to wear worn out shoes or have old boards at the skatepark where they practice. 11:13 pmNovember 29, 2016 Caspaa I'm highly sceptical about this but I can't really say how I feel about it until they explain exactly what is and what isn't going to be allowed in the future. Not being allowed to drive dangerous cars seems reasonable but what exactly are they going to class as "dangerous"? Furthermore Powervehicles are already flat out at Matsuri time as it is, it will only get worse if they are expected to repair cars to a higher standard. Some damage is really hard or even impossible to fix with the basic tools that most foreigners have with them at Ebisu. I foresee a lot of foreigners getting themselves in shitty situations where they spend the entire Matsuri fixing their car either because they bought it with unknown damage or they came off the track a bit too hard on their first day. I expect this will go one of two ways, either it will all work out fine with not really much of a change except for some of the more extreme beaters being removed from the track, or it will be too much and people will go to other tracks or stop going to Matsuris all together. 11:13 pmNovember 29, 2016 Rü$╫ Oh poo...well there goes noriyarö's alexi skyline :(. 12:14 amNovember 30, 2016 Jordan_Butters You know that's not what happened so don't play ignorant. He used electric cars and homosexual children as a threat of negative consequence. 12:45 amNovember 30, 2016 Mallo i support the move of maintaining a certain level of safety. Missiles are cool, yes! but where is the pride and joy of owning and maintaining a car. Like everybody said here accidents happen and scrapping the wall is a part of drifting. I think some people look too much at formula D where the whole trunk is plastic and the smash the wall. The difference with a normal car is that your trunk will be smashed into bits. Myself and a friend try to host drift events in Europe. Just grassroots events but most tracks don't want anything to do with drifting as half of the drifting community doesn't give a sht about people's property. They arrive at the track and just start hooning. Every event i hosted there was always one idiot there who fucked it up for the rest. So i really support the decision from ebisu to keep a certain level of safety. If an accident happens and there is someone hurt (we hope it never occurs!) you get the track officials to complain against you as an organiser and the people who are close to this person. i think the majority of the people who organise trackdays (grip and drift) will understand this point of viaw of mine! 1:18 amNovember 30, 2016 worker bee Castro Apples and oranges. Worn clothes don’t make a skater less safe than nice looking clothes. Cars with crushed and twisted chassis and missing suspension parts etc. are a danger to everyone on the track. This is not about how a car looks. 1:19 amNovember 30, 2016 JamesStammers I think they have defo done the right thing. Its so sad to see a smashed up chassis like in the pics above. speedhunters_dino Oh I get that, but when you take away everything that makes a missile a missile then it's pretty much the same thing. evoCS Totally, hence why I added the precursor of 'Aside from the obvious safety implications'. Drift practice events should live by the same rules as trackdays in my opinion – all panels must be securely fastened, with no sharp edges and so forth. 3:51 amNovember 30, 2016 PhilippZuppiger Yes, I know what you mean. He probably was negative. But if you look at it as neutral, as you expect from people to be, he wasn't. What's definitively rude and negative, is someone calling him a bigot that has to disappear and you to call him homophob and me ignorant (but good you deleted one off them). To tell people to shut up instead off talk (just talk), just because it's not mainstream, never helped in history, but mostly it splitted society. And you as a journalist should know that. I'm neither against electric cars nor homosexual people. I just think people should understand first instead of say it's great because everyone else is doing it. But that you put me in the same corner as other people is no surprise, but kinda ironic. 7:10 amNovember 30, 2016 dtsan I'm with Ebisu and Powervehicles. There's a level of safety and tech that needs to be met. 7:18 amNovember 30, 2016 dr6900012 My Uncle Ryan got a very nice Volkswagen JEtta Sportswomen just by working--- see more....................http://www.fox-88.com/ 8:45 amNovember 30, 2016 HunterHunted Man, this is seriously heartfelt. Growing up in a country where I've only seen (literally) a hand full of 180sx's, and even fewer R35's, we had a limited choice for RWD platforms that were feasible for drifting. Drifting on its own has been VERY small scale even in the larger cities where there are more resources. I've never even seen an AE86 in the flesh. To see these famed S-chassis' amongst other JDM heros get trashed like this, seen as disposable and treated like appliances pains me to the core. I've essentially put my boyhood dreams of owning a RWD chassis and learning to drift on the shelf, due to cost and resource availability. But hey, when in Rome. 9:46 amNovember 30, 2016 millijo I'm stunned that any body can get paid $8640 in weeks on ..................... 9:56 amNovember 30, 2016 JustinPorter1 Just about every short track in the US has a rule somewhere in its architecture regarding acceptable levels of car preparation, usually revolving around no visible rust, good welds, and neat lettering. This is, more critically, because impressions matter. When new fans, new participants, and new sponsors are being introduced to the sport, they are very likely turned off by a rough-shod appearance. This is why when your local short track asks a team to display their car at Autorama or your area's equivalent, they ask the team with the most chrome and the brightest colors. Safety is certainly a factor, but the approach-ability of the sport is another huge consideration. Tracks live and die by their ticket gate and their associated sponsors. 10:27 amNovember 30, 2016 shiftyXTI speedhunters_dino Bro5 I don't think any amount of crashing is an excuse for lack of safety - if you are crashing that much, you are clearly not being safe for yourself, the other drivers on track or the marshals that could take a piece of debri to the face. Plenty of rubbing & tagging in grassroots rallycross & dirt derby but the cars have to be structurally sound & no car with a loose panel is going to let into the session. I think the issue with missiles is that they will show up at an event with marginal body work and less than structural bodies. I don't think anyone is expecting Drift cars to have clean quarter panels & matching paint, but that's not what we're talking about here. speedhunters_dino Masse6661 Yes! This attitude like "it's just going to get wrecked anyways" is what makes for shitty drivers in the first place. Doesn't matter if you got away with it or not, stupidy on track like coming in way too hot on the wrong line to crush the wall sideways shouldn't be acceptable. It's all fun and games until metal goes flying in people's faces because all structural integrity has been long discarded ChristmasSamura If you don't have the money to REPAIR something, then why on earth should anyone let you drive sideways at 90mph on their property? You've just admitted to not fixing something you knew was broken & putting it back out under huge loads regardless, if you were to hurt someone else, that would be negligence and cost you way more than any repair bills! If you can't pay, don't play! Sorry, it sucks, but motorsports (like most sports btw) are a priviledge for those with time & money. Nothing is free. Go buy a car with a couple of friends and share the expense or get into something cheaper like go karting. FOR SURE I don't want to be driving next to the guy that doesn't have time & money to FIX his car PROPERLY! Unreal! ChristmasSamura speedhunters_dino Loose panels, panels crushed with no structural integrity or no panels at all is okay? Engine accessories, suspension, inter-coolers & exhaust being help by zip ties & welding wire is perfectly fine? How about if the car had a cage that's been hit and is already bent? But it still has a cage... is that cool too? RDS demo derby cars are seriously cages inside & the panels are screwed / riveted back on so they minimize the change of flying & hitting someone. Also lots of the messy shit like like lights & glass are taken out of the cars, which is not done in drifting. They look beatup but they are structurally sound underneath essentially. Flavien Vidal When it comes to safety, I don't care about papers or new lives to cars. I think it's great that metal that would rot is being enjoyed and if the cars have full cages, perfect. I think some provisions should be made like "everything has to be reasonably secured to the car". So zip ties to hold the entire front end and intercooler in place - no go. Looking at some of Dino's photos, I don't think drifting with an open hatch or a trunk taped on is safe. Secure the panels or take them off - no harm in having less panels if their is a proper cage underneath! Andrew86 Right because how many people that bash the wall go out at the end of session with a broom to sweep up? You're too bothered sticking tape on your dangling tailights at that point! TPLC2 Yea that's sort of the point! I'd like to see you explain your point to Jules Bianchi's family or Justin Wilson's! Have some respect. 11:12 amNovember 30, 2016 356A UK Banger Racing. Many classics end their days arse-ended by an equally rare classic. The difference here is that the Banger Racing and Classic Stocks fraternity generally use cars way past their restoration best. I recently donated my own E46 330i wagon to see it end its life as it ought too... in a kamikaze ball of flame, snot and steam. Excellent. Before you BMowners start pitchfork waving, it was Cat D and 275k miles old, beyond economical repair and would have been broken for scrap anyway. My point: if a cars past it, let it go properly and have some fun after a hard life. We endure far too many rules and regulations in motor sport already - let's live a little, bugger the consequences and enjoy ourselves. I will. 11:43 amNovember 30, 2016 KylePearson They are right to be concerned about this and that it needs to be addressed. Crushed up husks are dangerous and embarassing to the sport. The question is not "should we do something?". The question is "what can be done without being invasive?" and meddling with the spirit of the sport. Drift is a true homegrown motorsport. We need to keep it accessible AND respectable. So anyway, the question is now more accurately, what standards are they going to try to impose? What standards are fair to impose? I'd probably just do something like fenders/doors/quarter panels must not deviate from factory location by more than 1 inch along their exterior surface upon initial tech inspection each day, all said panels must exist, and headlights/tail lights must be in their factory location with some very small amount of tolerance for that and roof pillars must be undamaged. So this wouldnt affect bumpers, but would make sure the front and rear of the car are relatively true. I'd also imagine that stipulations on day 1 should be stricter than day 2+ to make sure people show up in well-prepared vehicles, or alterately to allow people who have made genuine mistakes to still enjoy themselves as long as it's nothing too severe. But at the end of the day, it's their track. They are entitled to judge it however they see fit, even if that's personal opinion. The people who go there can determine on their own how fair it is. 2:10 pmNovember 30, 2016 bakayaru If you're honest about it, we all know who this is about. The party was ruined by a few morons who went out to intentionally destroy cars. They weren't there for drifting. They were trying to make videos displaying their 'Zero F*s Given' lifestyle, and would smash and run, leaving lots of cleanup work for others. This is why we can't have nice things. shiftyXTI ChristmasSamura Dude just shut up already lol crying over my opinion won't change it. speedhunters_dino RDS it's drifting, you will crash regardless. 5:17 pmNovember 30, 2016 Matt Burgess Rü$╫ The beer can skyline was WAAAAY above the standard of the cars they are banning. PartBoxDotCom Driftland were referenced in Andy's ruling! https://www.facebook.com/powervehicles/photos/?tab=album&album_id=1149536458415231 Just like Driftland, I'm sure they will have a missile/bash style event as it does pull people in. I'm personally glad to see it going this way in Ebisu. If the "sport" wants to be taken seriously, there needs to be moves made to separate the "drifting=banger racing" element of it. Driftland implemented a similar rule (as was referenced in Andy's post) for a number of reasons: safety, maximization of track time (due to poorly maintained cars dropping crap on the track), drifting image and a few others. I just can't help but wonder...would they treat E36 and E46 the way they treat their JZX and S13/14/15 missiles or would they idolise them as we do the Japanese cars in the UK? 5:41 pmNovember 30, 2016 TylerStone Drifting has always made me a little queasy, to be honest. The cars that make good drifters aren't too common around my neck of the woods, and seeing rich prep-kids get them and smash them just hurts. Seeing people gut the interior and otherwise "because racecar" a clean example of any car is painful. On the other hand, I love to watch drifting, I would love to get into drifting, and the conservative "don't cut classics" can choke out all kinds of motoring. Conflicting interests - I want cars to last into the future generations. 6:46 pmNovember 30, 2016 Andy Gray - Powervehicles Hello Speedhunters! These new rules seem to be big news, but from what I’ve read they’ve been very well received. Firstly please READ, and understand exactly what the new rules are. We are, of course, not outlawing missile cars. What we are doing is simply taking the worst of the worst out (Dangerous wrecks), and asking a large number of cars to be tidied up. We are about to do a video next week, showing how to give your Missile/practice car (Whatever you wanna call it) some love. For very little money (Pennies infact), and a little bit of time, you can keep your car presentable and safe. On a side note these rules were coming in before the last Matsuri. The 2 big accidents that happened in this area the week of Matsuri just go to show why we have to do all we can to keep drifting safe, for Drivers, passengers and spectators alike. Cars must be maintained and track worthy to minimise the risk to all. These rules are VERY lenient compared to overseas still and are the bare minimum. I hope most people will go the extra length to ensure their safety so we don’t have to impose further rules. Happy Sliding, Andy and the PV Crew. 7:01 pmNovember 30, 2016 thereverand most of my street cars look like that anyway 7:33 pmNovember 30, 2016 RollingGT35R Im ecstatic about this. I can only hope more tracks will follow suit. Lets sort out real cars enthusiast from these posers that take #%cked up beaters to tracks and make us all look bad. Enthusiasts invest insane amount of effort, lots of money and care in to their cars, so lets find a parking lot where pieces of sht cars can go bang on each other, and leave the track to people that care about safety and their cars. . 7:58 pmNovember 30, 2016 mbretschneider Even in a demolitin derby its safety first, i only wonder why they took so long to come up with more serious regulations, its japan afterall... 8:48 pmNovember 30, 2016 Lailled in 4 weeks ................ https://qr.net/coU7WE 9:20 pmNovember 30, 2016 RDS speedhunters_dino but there's a thing , isn't missile supposedly a car that can be trashed around to improve your skill ? although it's listed in article above , some driver will actually fix their car if they appear to be damaged beyond safe to be continue drifting on the track shiftyXTI I just Google some demo derby cars , and look at one of my friend's demo derby car in Australia , you're right ! It does being a massive beater but a lot of dangerous projectiles are taken out ! 2:13 amDecember 1, 2016 Gary89 If a car is a piece of crap (missile) and it's never going to be able to return to factory condition again then have fun but be safe! What I HATE to see is the dick heads that drive a missile into the ground and make zero effort to fix it, then simply buy a clean shell to swap over their good gear that isn't damaged and repeat. These cars are getting rare as hell and as fun as drifting is it's Also one if the most cringe worthy sports to ever witness as every crash seemingly rights off another one of these beautiful cars which we will never see the likes of again. For this reason I prefer time attack, time attackers have much more respect for their cars and the sport to me is just as entertaining from a sideline and drivers perspective. They made the right decision here, drifting needs to get back to what makes it great instead of being a bogan/derelict sport wear people have no pride in their car.

You are exactly right in terms of safety but the essence of drifting is based upon style and part of that same focus is putting style into how your car looks and putting on a show for any bystanders. Just because these particular cars are for 'loan' doesn't mean they deserve to mis-treated with some adolescent behavior and lack of respect. Andy Gray - Powervehicles Well said Andy, I've seen multiple people talking about referral schemes so that anyone that can't be referred by a previous attending driver should pay a deposit of which is refunded after the completion of the event minus participation fees and of course what is deemed suitable damage rectification deemed suitable by the event host/s. Fair play to you and Emily and the rest of the team for providing a well needed wake up call to all those that feel every matsuri up North there in Ebisu is a 'Beer & Bash' festival. Same thing that applies to all the naturally realistic foreigners that attend this great land and think it is super easy to grab a car from auction, smash it around the touge and think it would be easy to dispose of after ten days and catch the redline home back to their motherland. Manners cost nothing, respect should be earned. 9:04 pmDecember 1, 2016 Bromigery I am dazzled that a mother can get paid $4160 in a few weeks ................... 2:24 amDecember 2, 2016 D1RGE Caspaa Then those foreigners need to spend more time on the skid pad and be a hair more careful with their rented cars? Instead of all the Aussies getting offended about this making their Matsuri more expensive, consider how the locals now feel about Matsuris. It's been overrun for years by immature, no-fucks-given desperate gaijin trying to cram years of experience into 36 hours. I don't think this was any sort of anti-foreigner move, but more of a "get standards up" move. I've been watching footage of these events for many years now and compared to before the Australian invasion, there are many more much worse off cars nowadays. JustinPorter1 Ebisu is private property and part of many attractions in the area. But good point. 6:12 amDecember 2, 2016 moxifutupe I am amazed that someone able to make $7869 in weeks ..................... 8:50 amDecember 2, 2016 Ben Chandler I agree that the guys are doing the right thing. Interesting story, too. Kind of reminds me of the scrappage scheme that the UK government rolled out here a few years ago, where lots of 80s and 90s icons got crushed in exchange for a discount off a new vehicle. Albeit the scrappage scheme at Ebisu looks a lot more fun! 9:29 amDecember 2, 2016 bakayaru hcram39 bakayaru http://www.ebay.com/itm/ZERO-F-CKS-GIVEN-Sticker-Decal-Funny-4x4-JDM-Drift-Car-Race-Hoon-/281986900286 1:11 pmDecember 2, 2016 hcram39 bakayaru hcram39 I meant like, link for some pics/videos of those guys you were talking about. 9:08 pmDecember 2, 2016 Ivii19 Ben Chandler You can make $8929 in 1 month on ................... 10:24 pmDecember 2, 2016 dadecode hcram39 bakayaru There aren't any. Most "ZFG" guys are about all out driving all the time, not f#cking up cars just for the fun of it. Just because over time the cars driven by these guys become well worn drift zombies, does not mean that was the intent. I remember when I lived in Japan back in the early 2000s; a good 3rd of the cars being street drifted or being wheeled by the most skilled and daring drifters where what would now be considered "missiles". But nobody cared because many of these cars were only 3,4,or even 10 years old and easily attainable. They also weren't considered "classic" in any way. Never mind that many were on their last legs or pretty sad before they were picked up for drifting. I blow peoples minds all the time when I tell them about the $800 JZA70 2.5 RS Supra I picked up to learn how to drift in. Took it home, washed it, looked like a brand new car when I was done, so I bought some new wheels for it and went street racing instead. But many a current "Missile" started the same way, only for the owner to be more committed than I was to the art of drifting. OfficialWCP "Kids" have ALWAYS rolled clapped out pieces of shit no matter what the era, country or car interest. I still shake my head at the current Rat Rod movement, knowing it was originally started by guys showing their cars as a work in progress; always later improving and actually finishing them. But now people build rusty, distressed, shitty hot rods on purpose, and you guys applaud them. There is no positive "perception" with drifting. It's always been an outlaw/grassroots sport and it's most real, visceral, and intense when the ruff and defiant element is maintained. Most think it's an idiot cutting doughnuts or senselessly spinning tires. You either get it or you don't. And even many who understand the intricacies of car control needed to effectively drift still think it's stupid, or not worthy of being called a sport. I say stay focused on the safety and make sure it stays accessible. But the pretentiousness of trying to make it mainstream, or keep the cars pretty is stupid. NO ONE gets good at drifting without killing a few cars, or really banging one up. If people find it appealing then they will flock to it. If the cars get used up, if there is a demand, the manufacturers will meet it - GT86/BRZ anyone? Many are lamenting the end of an era. And a major reminder of that era are the tools that facilitated it - the cars. But just like the many cars wrecked during America's Muscle era, and when many, many used "classic" full-size cars were destroyed in demolition derbies of the past, cars go though a life cycle. Nothing is special till it's gone. Truth be told Japan is well past it's drifting golden age. But that same golden age spawned Drifting around the world. Stop being 'monkey do's' and start building you local steel into drift machines. Here in the states I see drift capable US makes in craigslist all day. Europe has jumped on the "homegrown" drift car theme big time. BMWs, Benzes, Volvos, and everything else RWD is sliding around their tracks. I do agree Drift missiles are a annoying and played out trend, but the cars themselves are a necessary evil toward developing the skills needed to wow spectators or just perfect your technique. detectivebacon No, they need to demand and then BUY RWD cars when manufactures meet that demand. Many here are living in a fantasy of lusting after average cars from 20 years ago - that thanks to aftermarket support and dedicated enthusiast - became ambassadors of the Japanese tuning scene. But it's 2016. Those cars suck compared to what's on offer now. And many of these fanboys who whine about the lack of affordable RWD cars refuse to put their money where their mouth is. A lot of those cars exist because Japanese enthusiast demanded them and then purchased, tuned, and developed parts for the cars. They invested, in the industry. They didn't feed off the bones of a past era like modern drifting enthusiast appear to do. MikeyJay70 That's an excellent idea, so go out and make it happen. 40 years ago a 69 Camaro was just a used car that was cheap and great for abusing. 25 years ago it was rare and hard to replace, so an enthusiast figured out how to correct that problem. Now we have Dynacorn and other's making brand new chassis. I say F#ck the S chassis. Why not put your money where your mouth is and buy more BRZs and GT86s. They are barely selling and will only be expensive as they get old because they weren't embraced by the market they were intended for. It's a purpose built drift car for drifters and cash strapped enthusiast. Yet few of those enthusiast stepped up and bought one; Never mind actually drift them. 356A agreed. The safety issue is valid. The "save the classics" issue is not. No one buys a clean S13 and turns it into a drift missile overnight. Very few drift cars start as clean cars to begin with. Many are rough, need help, cars that are lovingly modded and then taken to the hills, or track and over time become missiles, or where bought near death and ended intentionally as a missile. speedhunters_dino RDS Dino, do you REALLY think people are crashing into the wall at 60mph on purpose...really? I agree with the safety angle, but it's drifting. By nature there WILL be crashes, cars WILL be destroyed, some will just be banged up. Drifting is a dying sport in Japan because the cost of entry has gone up and the authorities don't tolerate street and touge drifting anymore. I personally feel the era of wild and free grass roots drifting as it was in my day are long gone in Japan. And the thing that killed it on the streets is what will kill it at tracks too. When the price of participation goes up, participation goes down. It's why the drifting communities overseas stays small and frankly will never be what it was in Japan in the 90s-early 2000s. It cost too much and is highly regulated. I don't say this to hate on safety or basic good sense toward the sport. But the fact of the matter is the good ole days of every great motor sport is always when it was the most free spirited and dangerous, and when the cars being used in it where closer to the street and affordable. When the push for civilization comes, the accessibility and original attraction of the sport suffers. shiftyXTI RDS Not in the states they aren't. They are wrecks with MINIMAL safety with every intention of total destruction implied and hoped for. speedhunters_dino Jordan_Butters Then they should say so...Stop ass tapping the wall!! Yes we know that's what EVERYONE wants to see, yes we know that's what takes - many times - the most skill to do properly, but got dayam, some of yall are taking it too far, and the less experienced are really f'ing up their cars trying to do what the truly gifted do with such aplomb. Yes it looks bad ass, YES a vid from Ebisu isn't a proper drift video without an amazing high speed ass slap, or kiss, or scrape along the wall, but it's time to cut that shit out; drifting is trying to become civilized. 12:10 amDecember 3, 2016 dadecode PhilippZuppiger Yeah, I always find the irony in that the "you're a bigot!" people always either censor dissenting opinion, or demand the person with that opinion is removed. Maybe people should just be allowed to say what the hell they want and others can either agree, disagree, or talk it out.... Last I remember that was a primary indicator of being a well developed adult. Someone says something you don't like: you shrug and keep it moving, or talk it out with them to see why they think the way they do. speedhunters_dino importfan As I said in an earlier reply, we aren't killing off the supply. They new generation isn't moving on with new cars and demanding drift appropriate cars from the manufactures. We were thrown a bone in the GT86 and BRZ twins, and almost every enthusiast who was whining about "there's no new cheap RWD cars to play with" then promptly said "that cost too much, or I'll wait till they get used". Forgetting that many of the old cars we lust after and play with now, were plentiful because enthusiast of the past bought new, and played and drifted and raced new. They also took what was available then and adapted it. That's not happening so much now. People forget, NO AE86, S13-15, or R32,R33, R34, or Cefiro, Aristo Chaser, or whatever, was designed and produced to be a drift car. They were regular slightly performance minded cars - or in many cases absolutely mediocre cars - that were adapted to the sport. This is another issue entirely, but I feel too many of the younger enthusiast aren't about putting in the work to modify and adapt newer cars to the sport, as well as develop the aftermarket to support alternative non-JDM chassis. 5:14 pmDecember 3, 2016 ChuChu2 Gary89 i agree Pauses from watching final bout scrolls through the comments about Safety Regulations & Common Sense Continues on watching final bout 7:46 pmDecember 3, 2016 Dakk707 Sanitize everything. 8:34 pmDecember 3, 2016 Finerstaide19 what Marcus answered I am inspired that anyone can earn $7391 in 4 weeks ...................... http://tinyurl.com/youtube-have-jobs 8:48 pmDecember 3, 2016 RDS dadecode I personally would never skip a dime on safety equipment , or the money to make my car safe ... because Motorsports are about fun factor , and it wasn't fun if your car wasn't safe enough , and it caused trouble at the end of the day .

I'm certainly not a health and safety person. But I've seen pictures and video's (like some of the pictures in this story) that really make me wonder how they are allowed on track. Seeing people run with half of their body panels missing, while the other half is being held together with zipties and ductape seems a bit ridiculous even for someone like me, who isn't into safety at all. I just hope they don't take the safety rules so far making it less accessible. Another thing I don't like about it is that I see some of my favorite cars get wrecked. Ben Chandler Sure it's better then that. But honestly I can't watch these scrappage program's eithers, 80's and 90's produced almost all of my favorite cars. There's 1000's of cars in decent shape being destroyed by those scheme's.

There was a point in time where vehicles were setup well at these matsuris and people looked forward to seeing everyone's personal builds. Even if there were crashes, many of them were repaired to the full extent to go all out again. The missile is a hybrid of the global drift culture that was never fully indigenous to Japanese drift culture. It contributed to the decline of the culture over there as the popularity grew because traditionalist don't want to play the risk of being on track with the younger folk that don't have the same etiquette. Caspaa PV are essentially encouraging people to work up for the investment to fully enjoy and progress the sport rather than cheap out and leave it with a bad reputation. 6:06 amDecember 8, 2016 Nigwin The S13 chassis is a dying breed thanks to these drift missiles. They become rarer and rarer, more expensive and more expensive. Eventually they'll sky rocket up the market because they're so damn rare. 2:47 pmDecember 10, 2016 birelmotosport Good for them.

The term missile has turned into a bit of a misconception. The beat up cars you at Ebisu haven't become like that because people have sought out to destroy them, it's more that Ebisu is a track that takes a massive toll on cars. These cars are practice cars, so when people want to get better, they push the limits, and shit happens. The scarcity of these cars is of zero concern to these guys, all they car about is safety and possibly their image as well. There are rwd cars sitting in paddocks around japan everywhere, and they're cheap af, so people aren't worried about them running out. A drift missile is simply a practice car that people aren't afraid to tap. There are missiles, and then there is scrap metal. If it is unsafe I can see why they wont allow it on track. Though if they start not to allow cars because of cosmetic damage that is a different story	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0107.json.gz/line779

Sto products have been used on the new Portobello High School, which has been built adjacent to Portobello Park in Edinburgh. “The appearance of the new multi-storey school was an important consideration for this project,” comments Graham Barr of JM Architects in Edinburgh. “Our intention was to create a building which had minimal visual impact on the surrounding residential neighbourhood, and which also fitted the character of the site itself. We were looking for large, smooth surfaces on the elevations, and the Sto solution allowed us to create these as the external wall insulation could be installed without the need for any visible movement joints. “The design of the building also called for a series of feature recesses to be included in the external render. We worked closely with Sto on this project, who helped us to design the insulation system so the recesses could be created and form part of the building’s overall design concept.” StoTherm Classic M was chosen to provide high-level thermal performance for the new building. This EWI system features expanded polystyrene insulation boards and non-cementitious rendering components offering impact resistance of 60 joules - up to 10 times greater than similar cementitious systems can provide. This is a particular benefit for this type of school project where the façade cladding may be subject to harsh treatment. Thoroughly proven in many different parts of the world, the StoTherm Classic M system was finished externally with a through-coloured StoSilco K silicone render finish to add extra protection and enhance the appearance. The Sto insulation was fixed to the substrate using the innovative Sto-Rotofix Plus fixing system. Ideal for use on different types of substrates, the Rotofix system uses a unique helical spiral fixing which allows the insulation boards to be mechanically fixed, quickly and reliably, and then easily adjusted so that a seamless façade can be created ready for rendering. It is stronger and quicker to install, and has better levelling capabilities and fewer components, than any comparable system. “Once the system is installed it creates a very solid and reliable surface,” comments Pat Hynds, Managing Director of Grattan & Hynds, an authorized Sto applicator who installed the Sto products. “The system had to cope with some demanding wind loads, and it’s difficult to imagine any alternative system that would have worked so well on such a large project as this, and still create the required degree of finish.” The new school now includes state-of-the-art teaching facilities for up to 1,400 pupils, including both indoor and outdoor sports facilities and a swimming pool.

__label__wiki	0.583153	0.583153	Home > News > Tau prevents synaptic transmission at early stage of neurodegeneration Tau prevents synaptic transmission at early stage of neurodegeneration Tau proteins are involved in more than twenty neurodegenerative diseases, including various forms of dementia. These proteins clump together in patients’ brains to form neuronal tangles: protein aggregation that eventually coincides with the death of brain cells. Prof. Patrik Verstreken’s research team (VIB-KU Leuven) has now discovered how tau disrupts the functioning of nerve cells, even before it starts forming tangles. They immediately suggest a way to intervene in this process. Tau proteins are best known as the proteins that are stacked to form neuronal “tangles” in Alzheimer's patients’ brains, but they also play a role in many other brain disorders such as Parkinson's and Huntington's disease. In healthy circumstances, tau proteins are connected to the cytoskeleton of nerve cells, where they support the cells’ structural stability. In the nerve cells of patients, however, tau is dislodged from the cytoskeleton and ultimately tangles together to form protein accumulations that disrupt the nerve cell’s functioning. Early spoilsport But even before these protein accumulations are formed, the dislodged tau impedes the communication between nerve cells. VIB’s research team has described a new mechanism for this in the journal Nature Communications. Professor Patrik Verstreken (VIB-KU Leuven) explains: “We have demonstrated that when mutant tau dislodges from the cytoskeleton, it mainly settles at the synapses of the nerve cells. This was not only the case in fruit flies and rats but also in the brain cells of human patients. Vesicles containing chemicals are released at these synapses, which serve as the means of communication between two different nerve cells. When tau settles at the synapse, it locks onto the vesicles, inhibiting synaptic transmission.” Fundamental research with prospects for therapeutic applications These new insights are the result of a close collaboration between different laboratories at VIB, the universities of Leuven, Louvain-la-Neuve (both in Belgium), and Edinburgh (UK), and with researchers from Janssen Pharmaceutica. They pave the way for a possible treatment. “Now that we know how tau inhibits synaptic transmission, we can look for ways to prevent it.” Patrik Verstreken already provided proof of principle: “If we stop tau from locking onto the vesicles in the nerve cells of rats and fruit flies, we can prevent the inhibition of synaptic transmission and also the death of nerve cells.” Further research should reveal whether this strategy will also be useful for patients.

__label__cc	0.552992	0.447008	Faro - Explorer Hidden charm Transformation in retail is one thing. But how about a regeneration of an entire town’s retail fortunes? That’s the challenge facing Faro right now. The capital of Portugal’s Algarve once boasted a charming old town and harbour. But lately, tourists are more likely to spot boarded-up buildings, small and shabby bars and restaurants and prolific graffiti. The property boom of the 2000s brought in a massive tourism influx, ably aided by the then-new low-cost airlines opening up the region as the go-to destination. Then came the global economic crisis that bred severe local debt, and subsequent austerity. Fast forward ten years and the town is undergoing a mini metamorphosis. The most recent retail development has opened within the last 12 months. Designed, developed, and managed by IKEA Centres, it is a large out-of-town development that includes three separate destinations: a full-scale IKEA store, Mar Shopping Centre and the Algarve Designer Outlet. IKEA, Faro The good: the IKEA is huge, and likely to serve the local community of new villas, apartments and developments well. Other notable shops in the development include a superb Primark. The bad: it’s somewhat disappointing that the biggest new development in the region is so corporate, and unlikely to do too much to restore the town’s former picturesque glory. And the ugly? Well, while the development brings money, the promise of jobs and an increase in growth and tourism, it is not going to prove a friend to other local commercial centres. One big development could mean the demise of other, smaller ones. Zara Home, Faro Against such might, and money, and connections…. how can the charming old town survive? The challenge to Faro, as a town, is to recover prosperity and preserve its integrity. The challenge to mega brand players that can bring their new money and weighty influence to town is to act with responsibility to the whole society, and not simply to serve their own corporate interests. Retail is more than commercial: it’s societal. If one part of the community feels marginalised they’re unlikely to become fans.

__label__cc	0.57781	0.42219	Home / Humor / From Pigeon Poo to Belly Laughs—Learning You’re Funny Live on National TV From Pigeon Poo to Belly Laughs—Learning You’re Funny Live on National TV Apr 02, 2017 / 0 comment / Lee Winter Humor is a subjective thing. So much so, that when I was a junior reporter, our cadet trainer warned us never to inject humor in stories. Not just, “Hey, maybe not till you’re older and more experienced”. Nope, like a man scarred by battles only he could see, Geoffrey growled: “NEVER TRY TO BE FUNNY!” I took him at his word. I didn’t feel particularly funny anyway. Then at age nineteen I was sent to the Melbourne interstate news bureau where I was assigned the midnight shift. I worked out of an affiliated newspaper office and my job was to pass on all that paper’s news stories each night to its sister newspapers around Australia. That was it: I was an on-passer of news on the graveyard shift. I wasn’t the only one in this news bureau—there were five of us from all over Australia, but the others got to work day shift and actually write their own stories. I waved at them in passing each night. I’m not sure they even knew my name. The worst part about the job was that the newspaper we worked out of didn’t respect the bureau or us. We were an irritation, always bobbing up, asking what they were working on. So they made an emergency exit area, near the roof, our office. Not even remotely legal, but hey, it was the late ’80s. Pigeon Poo Blues Access to this office involved climbing steep, external, fire-escape stairs that were coated with pigeon poo. When it rained the pigeon poo got mighty slippery. It was only by luck that none of us slipped three storys to our pathetic, pigeon-poo-related deaths. So there I sat each night—young, homesick, miserable—the only person working in this rafters office. About the only thing that gave me a smile was a national TV program called Tonight Live With Steve Vizard. Steve was a comedian with his own show who shamelessly ripped off The David Letterman Show. The sets, format and live band were identical. We didn’t know it because Australia didn’t air Letterman’s show in back then. Steve finished his wildly popular show each night with a hilarious top-ten list. For example, he might offer the Top Ten Things You Should Never Say to Your Boss. The Fax of Life Part of my job was to fax the front page from the Melbourne paper I was based at to Steve’s show each night, so he could hold it up and reveal what was going to be in the news the next day. On one particular night, boredom or madness seized me, and I decided to not just send through the front page, but add my own top ten list to the fax. As I scribbled up my list, I had the cadet trainer’s voice screaming in my ear to “NEVER TRY TO BE FUNNY”. I also knew that my family never laughed at my jokes. Probably because I couldn’t physically tell a joke given that I was shyer than a day-old kitten. So obviously I thought, yes, by all means, I should anonymously share my hidden hilarity with Australia’s funniest man. So I did it. I wrote it. I faxed it. And I waited. Ten of the Best Steve did his regular top-ten list and then suddenly produced my list and began to read. My heart was pounding. Now, while I can’t tell a joke to save my life, Steve Vizard can. And under his vocal inflections, pauses and eyebrow lifts, he made my words leap from the page. He was hilarious. Holy crap, I whispered to no one in my pigeon-poo-encrusted, emergency-exit hell. I’m…funny. I had no idea. Well okay, maybe I had a tiny inkling, but still. Everyone thinks they’re funny, but here was proof. The audience was in hysterics. Australia was laughing. I stared in amazement. Don’t Listen to the Geoffreys Everything changed that night. Oh, I was still shyer than a kitten. And I still on-passed stories at midnight. But after that I knew I had something. When I finished my interstate bureau assignment and went home, I began to explore that “something”. So much so that, years later, I actually became a weekly humor columnist. Since then, humor infests everything I write, from acerbic one-liners to ridiculous, over-the-top dramatics. It’s a thread in every story. It’s challenging, but I wish more people would give it a go. You have to shut out the Geoffreys in your life, who shout that you should never try. That’s codswallop. Give it a whirl. As for me, it’s been a fun, crazy ride. I have Steve Vizard—and David Letterman—and an entire national TV audience to thank for it.

With more than six millions and five hundreds thousands tourists annually visiting the country, Tunisia is the first tourist destination for tourists from Europe, the United States and Oceania, to name just a few. "Sooner or later, Tunisian will certainly be attracting Korean tourists in thousands in upscale market segment in particular," so observed Kim Kyong-Hae, chairman and CEO of Communications Korea (CK) in an interview with The Seoul Times. More recently, he had a serious business discussion with Tunisian Ambassador to Korea Moncef Baati to exchange views on how to promote Tunisia in Korea as well as other East Asian markets including Japan. Tunisian envoy told Kim that with nearly twenty modern golf courses across the country, golf tourism is potential niche. Recently a unique golf course located in the deepest desert has been inaugurated to attract a wealthy clientele from all over the world. Mr. Kim Kyong-Hae, president of the Korean Institute for Crisis Management and Strategy (KICMS) and CEO of Communications Korea Travelers can also enjoy several kinds of sport activities including sailing, windsurfing, water-skiing, and horseback riding. Tunisia, a crossroads of various civilizations, boasts a rich cultural heritage, as testified by its prestigious museums and cultural institutions, according to Amb. Moncef Baati . While Tunisia is receiving millions of holidaymakers every year from all over the world, the number of Asian Tourists, scored in some thousands, still far from the large potentialities that offers the Asian tourist market. "My observation is that Korean tourists are more likely to be lured by rich historical and cultural heritages of Tunisia than conventional tourism attractions such as beaches, golf courses and shopping," said Kim, who is Korea's PR pioneer of destination marketing. As a journalist-turned marketing expert, Kim is well known for his illustrious PR career. His travel-industry expertise is reflected not only in his 18 years long service as marketing representative for Guam Visitors Bureau (GVB), but also for Australian Tourist Commission (ATC) and Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT). His destination marketing for three separate tourism hot spots is not only remarkable, but is also being benchmarked by new destinations. "Tunisia has exceptional and historical treasures, including over 20,000 archeological sites and hundreds of monuments, museums and historical centers and a total of eight world heritage sites." Kim pointed out. Tunisia is practically among the few countries in the world, which can offer its visitors the impressive Saharan desert within easy reach. The vast Tunisian south with its lush oases and sweeping Saharan landscapes is increasingly becoming a favored shooting location for international film productions. Climate, Landscape, and History Attract Tourists An ancient Roman town of Thuburbo Majus is situated some 60 km southwest of Tunis, Tunisia. An ideal climate, a long and gentle seacoast, Tunisia, the northernmost country of Africa has for over 3000 years witnessed the passage of Phoenicians, Romans, Vandals, Byzantines, Turks, Spanish and French. They came as fugitive s or adventurers, to conquer or to claim, warriors and missionaries, traders and farmers each leaving a part of their story in stone or mosaics, on hills of Carthage and the threshold of the Sahara. This heritage, Tunisia's greatest wealth has been held in trust and preserved in hundreds of sites and museums from the small Punic museum in Utica to the vast collections of the prestigious National Museum of Bardo. Most Museums are closed on Mondays, whereas many on-site archeological museums and ruins are open all week. An entrance fee is usually charged and a caretaker will often act as guide. In particular, Tunisia has the finest collection of mosaics in the world and the majority of these can be seen at the Bardo Museum. This Moorish palace in the suburbs of Tunis was, at one time, the residence of Tunisia's Beys (kings), and besides housing the fabulous exposition of mosaics; it contains an important collection of Prehistoric, Roman, Punic and Islamic artifacts. Classified by region, Sousse, Carthage, Dougga, Bulla Regia the mosaics date mostly from the 3rd and 4th century - their golden age. Of particular interest is the unique portrait of Virgil, and in the Sousse Room, the Triumph of Neptune, one of the largest in existence. Realistic scenes of hunting, a panorama of mythological gods and goddesses, exquisite still lifes of fish and games, the legendary Hercules and the adventurous Odysseus are portrayed with astonishing mastery of form and color. What marvelous skill it was of these unknown artists who used tiny chips of stone to create such beauty! Who has not heard of Hannibal and this city who dared brave the might of Rome? Now the ruins of both these great empires lay open to the sun and wildflowers. Declared a national monument the town of Carthage and nearby Salammbo abounds in vestiges of the Punic and Roman empires, baths, dwellings, temples, shrines and the fabulous naval port of the Carthaginians. Historic Bysra and Carthage Worth Visiting A tourist resort in Tunisia The hill of Byrsa, where in the 8th century BC, Carthage was founded by the legendary Princess Elissa-Dido, is a storehouse of history. Newly restored, the former cathedral of Saint Louis, which crowns the hill is now a cultural center and the nearby national museum of Carthage holds an impressive collection of Punic statues, steles and urns. How strange that this breathtakingly beautiful site should have been the theater of such violence, as a Roman historian wrote of the fall of Carthage "the city was then razed and burnt to the ground and the accursed land covered with salt to ensure its barrenness." For a thousand years, Phoenicians were masters of the Mediterranean and over 200 war ships and innumerable merchant vessels were sheltered in the nearby port of Salammbo. At its center the Admirals Island still exists and archeologists are reconstituting the pavilion with its shrine and docks. Next to the ancient sanctuary of the goddess Tanit (Tophet) a quiet, shady square of hundreds of funeral steles. The Romans returned to Carthage and built on its ruins a new Carthage resplendent with great buildings, theaters, villas and baths. Carthage became the administrative capital for Africa and its importance can be seen in the Antoinine Thermal baths, one of the largest built under the Roman empire with the "cool room" an amazing 47 meters long and 15 meters high. The Roman theater is still used today for the summer festival of Carthage. The original inhabitants of Tunisia were the Berbers, followed by settlers and tradesmen from throughout the Mediterranean basin. Throughout the centuries, Phoenician, Roman, Byzantine and Visigoth settlers, colonizers and traders intermingled with the population. However it was the Arabs who, in the 7th century, exerted the most influence and established themselves permanently. Bedouin tribes from the east arrived in the 11th century and further reinforced the Arabic language and Moslem religion. The Berbers initially resisted assimilation retreated to the mountains, the island of Jerba, or the arid regions of the south behind their earthen fortresses, ksours. Centuries of intermarriage and trade broke down their isolation. The Tunisian of today, city dweller, rural farmer, inhabitant of the desert or the mountains is proud of his "Tunisian identity" a composite of various civilization influences. Aware of their rich historical heritage, Tunisian people show a genuine interest and definite respect for others as evidenced in their moderation, tolerance and hospitality. Tunisians are quick to give directions and any form of assistance to the visitor who asks for help. The overwhelming majority speaks Arabic and French. With modern education, English is taught today in all schools and is increasingly spoken especially by younger people. Some German and Italian are also spoken. About Communications Korea (CK) Destination Marketing Pioneer Kim Kyong-hae, CEO of CK concluded 18-year partnership with Guam last year. Serving a client for 18 years straight as a PR firm is a kind of miracle. But the person who engineered this miracle bode farewell to the Guam Visitors Bureau (GVB) in September 2006 after positioning Guam as a paradise destination for Korean tourists. Kim is well known for his illustrious PR career. His travel-industry expertise is reflected not only in his service as marketing representative for GVB, but also for Australian Tourist Commission (ATC) and Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT). His destination marketing for three separate tourism hot spots is not only remarkable, but is also being benchmarked by new destinations. "Eighteen years is a long time. We think we need some fresh air on the part of the two sides, and we will look forward to working with other clients for another 18 years!! Guam was not just about the work, but a place I love." said Mr. Kim in a recent interview with the Korea Travel Times, the nation's top-notch travel trade journal. "CK will pursue more PR destination marketing for NTOs (National Tourism Offices), as well as the marketing of attractions, hotels, and tourism activities by offering the travel industry knowledge we accumulated from our 18 years of experience." he went on to say. When asked what he values the most from the past 18 years, he said: "All the moments of the past 18 years are precious, but through our efforts, one achievement created a truly priceless feeling. It was when CK arranged for the filming of episodes of the KBS hit drama, 'Missing You.' in Guam 1992, which resulted in an ad-value of $5 million for Guam's tourism industry, at an actual cost of $50,000." Cost Effective TV Commercial Programming This marked the first attempt in Korea to promote a destination through cost-effective commercial TV programming. This strategy has become a standard for other destination marketing here. Also, CK helped to overcome various crisis situations of tourism destinations based on its crisis management expertise. Australia Tourist Commission (ATC) was another success story for CK. Kim had laid a firm foundation ground for ATC for two years before the full-fledged launching in Korea, resulting in a great success of ATC in the Korean market. Mr. Kim has been a contributing columnist for Korea Travel Times and authored four books about his PR experiences: 'Live On-Site PR Story' (2000), 'Companies that Overcome Crisis, Companies that Crumble from Crisis' (2001), 'Let's PR' (2003), and 'Big Think PR' (2004). Case studies from his writings are often cited in university textbooks on PR and public communication. He also expressed his best wishes for the GVB in Korea.

__label__wiki	0.962275	0.962275	You are here: Tennis ATP / WTA Tour Ana Ivanovic happy to hit the courts again Ana Ivanovic happy to hit the courts again It was big news for the Coca-Cola International Premier Tennis League. Ana Ivanovic joined the UAE Royals in Singapore with her more than one million fans on twitter accompanying her virtually. “It’s lovely to be back in Singapore. I have really nice memories from here, specially from 2014”, said Ivanovic, who qualified for the WTA Finals two years ago, and competed at the Singapore Indoor Stadium that is playing host to the IPTL second leg this week. The former world number one and 2008 Roland Garros champion missed the first leg in Japan but couldn't stay away from her team any longer. Martina Hingis, the only woman on the UAE Royals squad before Ivanovic's arrival, had a wish a couple of days ago. “I hope that Ana can join us soon”. Ivanovic quickly obliged and the Serb's first hitting session in Singapore was of course, with her team-mate, Hingis. Ivanovic was a part of the Indian Aces team that won the inaugural IPTL tournament in 2014. She moved to the UAE Royals for the second season and today joined the Emirati side. It has been a long layoff for the winner of 15 WTA titles, who pulled the plug early on her 2016 season to recover from a recurring wrist injury after the US Open and has now made her return to the courts for the first time in three months. “It was my first match after a long time and it was quite challenging so I hope I can improve little by little in the next few matches”, said Ivanovic. There is something sure. Her team and fans are over the moon with her comeback. 10/12/2016 04:32 - IPTL: Indian Aces beat Singapore Slammers 24-19 in Hyderabad to stay top 08/12/2016 23:07 - Sania Mirza excited about Hyderabad Homecoming 08/12/2016 04:42 - IPTL: Indian Aces go down to Japan Warriors 27-20	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0107.json.gz/line793
