“Everything is a story. Our lives, our history, our plays and novels, our wins and losses, our news and adventures. Everything becomes a movie as we assemble the images that recollect our memories and dreams and project our wishes and aspirations.” — Brian Hendricks

Go Green Itasca
Gypsy Moth Information
Information on BTK
Sited Information
Information has been adapted from the Purdue University Cooperative Extension Service West Lafayette website
Original information by Cliff Sadof and Jodie Ellis, Department of Entomology, Purdue University

FAQs About Using BTK to Control Gypsy Moths
What Is BTK? How Does It Kill the Gypsy Moth?
BTK (Bacillus thuringiensis var. kurstaki) is a bacterium found naturally on leaves and in soil. These bacteria act as tiny factories that produce protein crystals that kill specific groups of insects.
When eaten, the protein crystals tear the cells that line intestines of susceptible insects, causing lethal bacterial infections. The source of infection can be the BTK itself or any of a number of species of bacteria already present in the insect’s gut. Death occurs within a few hours to a few weeks after the insect ingests BTK.
How Is BTK Insecticide Used to Kill Gypsy Moth?
In Itasca, BTK applications are applied from helicopter to areas where gypsy moths threaten trees. A series of 2 sprays is applied in late May to early June, when caterpillars are small and most susceptible to BTK. BTK sprays are used to prevent or reduce defoliation and nuisance problems.
What Is the Gypsy Moth? Why Is It a Problem?
The gypsy moth is an insect with a big appetite for oaks. Each caterpillar can grow up to 2 inches long and can consume up to 11 square feet of foliage from early May until June. When abundant, caterpillars can completely defoliate trees. Although healthy trees can survive defoliation, repeated removal of leaves can kill a tree.
Older, less vigorous trees suffering from drought can be killed by a single defoliation. Capable of feeding on 500 different kinds of plants, this pest threatens Itasca forests and suburban landscapes.
Gypsy moth caterpillars are also a public nuisance in recreational and residential areas that are known for their oaks. The rain of caterpillars and their excrement from treetops can discourage even the heartiest residents from taking a walk in the park. Some people develop rashes or allergies to caterpillar hairs that float through the air.
Is BTK Insecticide Sprayed On Any Food Crops?
Yes. BTK is widely and safely used on many edible crops, including fruits and vegetables. In fact, BTK can be applied on food crops the day they are harvested.
Is BTK Insecticide Dangerous?
BTK has been safely used to kill gypsy moth in the northeastern United States since 1980. BTK does not cause disease in people, mammals, birds, or fish. BTK has been reported to cause minor and temporary irritation to exposed skin, eyes, ears, noses, or throats in a small number of individuals.
However, numerous studies of large communities of people exposed to BTK during aerial sprays have repeatedly failed to find any significant adverse risks to the health of the general public.
Staying indoors during sprays is a good way to minimize exposure to BTK. Plan on remaining indoors for at least 10 minutes after airplanes have finished spraying. Wait until spray or dew has completely dried before allowing children to play outside. If for some reason you come in contact with BTK spray, wash the affected area with soap and water.
Will BTK Sprays Kill Butterflies?
Yes, but they will not eliminate them. BTK only kills butterflies and moths that are in the caterpillar stage at the time of spraying. Most of Itasca’s butterflies are not in the caterpillar stage until over a month after gypsy moth sprays are completed. This allows plenty of time for the BTK protein to break down and vanish. Furthermore, only some parts of Itasca are targeted for spray. Butterflies outside the spray area are not affected and will quickly re-populate sprayed areas.
Honeybees, ladybugs, and most beneficial insects are not affected by BTK.
Will BTK Damage the Paint On My Car?
No. Some people living in spray areas have reported finding a fine dust on their cars after spraying, but this easily washes off and does not harm the finish.

"I met Coach Winterton in 2007. Prior to that I had played competitively for 17 years. Coach Winterton helped me take my game to the next level. He is an excellent diagnostician. At the same time, he recognizes a player’s uniqueness and customizes what will work and be effective for each player. As a former teacher, Coach Winterton is cognizant of individual learning styles and personalities. He has the ability to communicate with the player to achieve maximum results. There is a saying, “you can’t teach an old dog new tricks” Coach Winterton taught this “old dog” a lot of new tricks, resulting in two National titles. I give him my highest recommendation."
Karen Green Athlete
"Being a part of Coach Winterton’s team has had a significantly positive influence on my game and ability to play. Just in the past 6 months, my game has started to improve dramatically. I was a middle to low B player before meeting Coach Winterton and would constantly get a sore back and shoulder by the end of a match. From my first lesson with him, he noticed my improper form on my backhand and brought me back to basics on my backhand returns. He created a custom series of drills and techniques for me that helped me learn the correct backhand and checked in on my progress regularly. By slight changes to my grip, stance, racquet prep and swing, I find that my body is much less sore then in the past; my power has increased significantly and I feel like I am using a third of the effort that I used to have to use in order to return a shot. I cannot wait to see what the next 6 months will bring!"
Kevin Hayes Athlete
"Whatever your level, beginner or advanced, Coach Winterton will lift your game to heights you never thought possible. He takes the time to find out exactly what you need to better your game. I trust him and so should you!"
Kane Waselenchuk Athlete - 10x World Titles, 11x US Open Champion, 10x IRT #1 Year End Ranking (2004, 2005 2006, & 09.10,11,12,13,14,15), Winningest Pro player in Racquetball history
"Coach Winterton has been coaching me for almost three years now. In that time, I went from playing in the A and B divisions to playing in the pro qualifier and open divisions. I know for a fact that I would not have improved that fast if it wasn’t for Coach. Not only has he helped out my game a ton, the one thing that really stands out to me is how much he cares about his athletes on an individual and personal level. Every time I go to Arizona to train with Coach, he treats me like family. Honestly, three years ago when I was deciding whether or not I wanted to sign up for the monthly program, I was hesitant. But looking back, I am so glad I did. Signing up for the monthly program made me commit to improving my game and also got me a coach who was committed to helping me achieve my goals, which combined allowed me to improve at an incredible rate. As I’ve said, I owe a lot of this improvement to Coach Winterton. Thanks Coach!"

Five Wives
The Opening Sky
Curiosity Book Club Kit
Henry De la Beche
Shells and Bones
Reading by Lightning
If you’d lived in the early 19th century, what would you have thought if you came across a perfect ammonite fossil washed up on the shore? I was fascinated by the European folk explanations for fossils and by the science of the era just before Darwin, especially the intellectual contortions academics like William Buckland went through to try to reconcile fossil finds with the creation myth in Genesis. Some of Buckland’s arguments still pop up in the books and websites of creationists and proponents of “intelligent design.” And beyond that, I was deeply drawn to a period where individuals were confronted with the need to revise their view of nature and man’s place in it, as we are desperately in need of doing today.
If you’re interested in the interpretation of fossils through European history, someone to check out is the Swiss naturalist Conrad Gesner (1516-1565). His work does not seem to have influenced the early English fossilists, but it’s strange and wonderful, as was his life. I think there’s a novel there (for some other writer!).
Treasures in the Rare Books room at the British Library
Organic Remains of a Former World by James Parkinson, 1804. A hugely influential text for the natural historians portrayed in Curiosity. Gideon Mantell described it as “the first attempt to give a familiar and scientific account of fossils.” The notion that the “days” of creation might have referred to thousands of years was first expressed by Parkinson.
Vestiges of the Natural History of Creation, 1844 by Robert Chambers. Chambers dared to suggest that the universe was not the result of a single creative act, but developed naturally according to predictable principles.
The Book of the Great Sea-Dragons by Thomas Hawkins, 1840 is riveting for what it reveals about the mishmash of theology, fairy tale, and lurid apocalyptic imaginings that passed for science in some quarters during the period. Thomas Hawkins was a prominent collector who worked with Mary Anning in the 1830’s, and whose collection was bought by the British Museum (although his specimens were discovered to rely rather too heavily on plaster reconstruction). Here’s a taste of Hawkin’s prose:
“We shudder over the old Spectral World, when, armed with poison, fang, and fury, 10,000 hideous monsters slipped from leash, shriek to the four Winds, and scared peace forever away. The Malefactor Adamites gigantic in the Fall, so were the grim Brutes which battled them for blood. They both perish together in the wild exultant Flood. . . . These Sea dragons—by what wondrous application of ribbed joints they compressed air into the lung, by which to sustain themselves a long while when driven to the nether depths. With what a cunning machinery of eye they trapped and made use of God’s blessed light. We may trace the channels of poison which distilled from their livid gums, the cranial Caverns in which their brutal appetites lurked . . . Our Race was well nigh extinguished and the primal Carnivora destroyed quite; Behold the wrecks of a Deluge strown innumerable everywhere.”
In that vein . . . I just came across a wonderful website on dinosaurs and dragons and the conflation of the two in previous centuries. http://www.strangescience.net/stdino2.htm
Two books by Martin J. S. Rudwick, both from the University of Chicago Press, are essential texts regarding early paleontology: The Meaning of Fossils: Episodes in the History of Paleontology (1985) and Scenes from Deep Time: Early Pictorial Representations of the Prehistoric World (1992).
The Death of Adam: Essays on Modern Thought by Marilynne Robinson (Picador, 2005). Marilynne Robinson’s essay on Darwinism pushed my thinking about the ways in which we’ve surrendered the concept of evolution to the social Darwinists. Evolution is somehow regarded as free of values; it elevates the cockroach, for its mindless survival, above more complex forms of life. Does this devaluing of life necessarily follow from the collapse of creation myths as literal accounts? As Robinson puts it, “It is as if we no longer sat on chairs after we learned that furniture was only space and atoms.” One of the things that shaped Curiosity was my sense that evolutionary science locates meaning and mystery within the processes of the natural world, rather than draining the natural world of meaning.

Chapter 68 – It seems to be the choice of a subjugation target
This site doesn’t use ads or any cash links. Support the translation by becoming a Patron or by donating towards an Extra Chapter !
There’s always notices with requests posted on the guild’s message board to an extent that one might be baffled by their amount.
However, the requests posted there are either awfully easy or those where failure doesn’t matter. There are few people who know that there are suitable substitutes.
If really important requests and difficult requests were to be exposed in an unspecified large number to the eyes of all adventurers, that wouldn’t be a good thing either.
Requests of that type are secretly passed over to adventurers who have the appropriate skills and whom the guild deems suitable.
Naturally if they accomplish such requests, the fame and reward, they can earn with that, cannot be compared to requests like the ones written on the guild’s message board.
Having said that, it’s not like such requests exist all the time.
In the end Renya decided to accept a request from Liaris.
He tried to consult with Shion and Rona, too, but their answer was that they wouldn’t be able to accompany him as they were busy with various other issues though they couldn’t talk about the details.
Because of the information brought from the elven country the other day, continuous monitoring has been set up at the entrance to the Forest Labyrinth which is located in the forest that had been mostly destroyed by Renya and the construction of a fortress with a reasonable scale nearby has started with a quick pace.
There’s a rumour that they are hurrying the formation of the garrison after having decided a permanent stationing of soldiers.
As expected, it’s not like they can station a garrison there that will be able to repulse a group of monsters at the scale as the one which attacked the elven country. The fort puts emphasis on defence strength. Apparently there have been installed several escape doors so that the soldiers can escape swiftly in an emergency.
Renya is somehow able to understand that Rona is busy related to that.
Rona is calling herself a priestess for the time being, but in reality she’s a Knight.
You can pretty much call her an expert of military affairs in Kukrika which is close to the front lines.
Even if she has been invited by that side, it’s nothing particularly weird.
In contrast, what was odd was Shion being busy.
I don’t have the slightest idea about the reason for her being busy.
Even if one considers her as combat potential, she is just a mere sword-woman and if compared with Renya, she doesn’t possess anything but skills that fall far behind him.
It’s difficult to imagine for her to be summoned to get involved with the garrison.
Although it’s very doubtful, there’s no method to check whether she has been asked either.
It’s also possible for her to come for a talk sooner or later, if there’s some problem. Around this point Renya stops thinking about this matter.
“There are- no- good- requests- here-, you know-?” (Croire)
Croire, who gazed at the message board, says.
Renya made sure to have Croire accompany him as much as possible when he went out.
Realising from the reaction of Liaris at the time she saw Croire, humans are generally surprised by seeing an elf.
This was a reaction caused by their curiosity, but if that’s the case, they will likely stop being surprised each and every time once they are able to see an elf at a rate that doesn’t make it unusual, is Renya’s idea.
However, that’s also no reason for having Croire wandering aimlessly by herself all over.
Saying she’s unusual can also be paraphrased into her having rare value.
Renya doesn’t know whether the situation of the public order in the city of Kukrika is satisfactory, but he can’t definitely state that there’s no kidnapping.
And, in case such criminals became conscious of Croire’s existence, it might be possible for Croire, who would let them strike it rich, to experience a dangerous situation.
Since that’s the case, there’s nothing left but for Renya himself to act as Croire’s guard and stay together with her.
“Well it’s not like we can idle around with a suitably moderate request either.” (Renya)
There’s a single reason why Renya decided to accept Liaris’ request.
That’s because of the reward presented to Renya by Liaris.
Liaris, who carried out requests as regular adventurer before she became a school teacher, offered Renya to hand over everything as long as it’s money she possesses herself and items she gathered in her adventuring days.
As for the items she collected, Liaris, who apparently got a methodical character, wrote all of them on a list.
“There’s such stuff”, Liaris gave that list, she brought along when she visited, to Renya. Seeing that list, Renya discovered an item that caught his eyes.
The entry for that was written like this:
< A small metal box, colour is black, its shape is oval and strange ornaments have been installed on it. Inside there are many polyhedrons, which look globe-shaped, with uneven sizes of their surfaces. Their colours are jet black with red lines here and there. The polyhedrons are suspended in there by seven fulcrums and a belt that seems to be made out of metal. Their purpose is unknown.>
No way, was Renya’s frank impression.
There was for some unknown reason only one item, which applies to this description, within Renya’s knowledge.
By staring at them, the scenery of the underworld emerges in one’s mind and they will end up summoning what shouldn’t be called. It’s that.
However, this is knowledge from my previous world, it’s quite unlikely for the same thing to exist in a different world.
Even so, the resemblance is too much.
For argument’s sake, if it’s something else, there won’t be any problem.
However, if it was the same item as the one to be found in Renya’s knowledge, it’s a far too dangerous item to be in the hands of a mere adventurer.
While that may be true, I can’t say it will be safe in my hands either, but as I understand at least what it is, it should be difficult for me to make mistakes in its treatment.
In order to not appear overly unnatural, Renya told Liaris that he would accept the request on the condition of being given some money and goods, several items, that appear to be magic handicraft, and that small metal box as reward.
Of course, in case he obtained the small box successfully, he intends to consult with Frau and to seal it away so that it won’t ever be touched by people.
“At any rate, I don’t quite understand what kind of job meets Liaris’ expectations.” (Renya)
“A job- where you- can say- she- succeeded as- adventurer?” (Croire)
“Certainly it’s very unlikely for it to become some crazy story where she’s tossed into the vicinity of an orc nest and told to kill 100 orcs by herself, right…?” (Renya)
Once you assess the phrase of killing 100 orcs, it might be taken in a different meaning, Renya thinks.
In that case it would turn into the previous talk about fame or achievements and so on.
“Basically- it has to- be doable- by Liaris-san?” (Croire)
“No, that’s likely unreasonable, but you can’t definitely call it her achievement if she doesn’t fight herself to some extent, right?” (Renya)
Even if it was a talk about Renya searching as well as killing it and letting the credit go to Liaris, Renya himself doesn’t mind at all, but it might get easily revealed if the person herself doesn’t do anything.
In that case, if she fought a bit, even if I’m responsible for the greater parts, it will probably easier for her to say that it’s her achievement, Renya assessed.
“It will be fine even if she just stabs the target, that’s half dead from my attacks, to finish it off, but… I wonder just what kind of monster is convenient for that?” (Renya)
“If it was- about an- elf-, I- could tell-, but… if it’s- about a- human, I don’t- know.” (Croire)
“If it’s an elf, what’s required for them to defeat to be regarded as remarkable?” (Renya)
“That will- be a- manticore.” (Croire)
The monster called manticore is a monster living in forests and a being that has a strong appetite.
It has wings similar to the membrane of bats and a tail with with a scorpion stinger attached.
It is said that it possesses the body of a lion with a human face. It even has the nuisance of using magic even though only lower grade one.
At any rate, it is a monster that eats well. If it’s elves or beasts, as long as it’s something that can enter its mouth, it will eat endlessly. Among the elves it was decided to exterminate it as soon as it was discovered while treating it as harmful monster.
“Since it has a brutal and uncontrollable nature, the act of crushing this manticore alone will warrant high praises for such an extremely honourable deed among the elves”, Croire explained.
In elven language.
As it was impossible to explain it in common language, Croire gave up quickly, but she became teary-eyed from receiving Renya’s iron claw, albeit a weak one, once she finished her explanation.
“Don’t start rattling on and on in the elvish language all of a sudden, you idiot.” (Renya)
“You are- cruel, Renya-san. I’m seeing- stars- in front of- my eyes.” (Croire)
“Don’t worry as it will go away sooner or later. … However, I wonder whether Liaris defeating a manticore will be a cause for her to be regarded as remarkable…?” (Renya)
Moreover, will we be able to find it?, there’s such a worry as well.
As there are many large forests in the elven country, it looks like manticores themselves are monsters that appear fairly frequently, but one can’t say that it’s the same on the human continent.
There’s far less forests compared to the elven country. Since it’s normal for adventurers or a subjugation unit from the country to be dispatched as soon as such dangerous monsters are found, it’s difficult to find them as they lurk deep in the forests.
“Oh, ni-chan, it’s been a while. What did you do to have caught such extreme beauty?”
Coming to his senses from his thoughts due to the sudden voice directed at him, Renya turns his look in the direction of the voice’s owner.
The one who was there was not only a middle-aged man but also an adventurer who had an appearance and equipment that made it really clear that he worked his way up.
Renya, who remembered it’s a face I’ve seen somewhere, lightly greets him after recalling that it’s the adventurer who previously gave him information about the forest octopuses.
Earlier than Renya’s greeting, Croire bowed while smiling cheerfully.
It looks like she apparently reacted to the word “beauty.”
“It’s been a while. Didn’t you participate in the forest subjugation request, ossan*?” (Renya) (T/N: means middle-aged man in a slight derogative way, but kind of hard to put it in a proper English word)
“I intended to do so. But since my buddy told me that he received work in another matter and that I should go there, I wasn’t able to participate. Well, if I think about it now, it was quite fortunate. I’ve heard that almost all of those, who joined in on that request, were killed.”
“I see. Which reminds me, the information from the other day saved me quite a bit of trouble. Those forest octopuses were certainly delicious.” (Renya)
The middle-aged adventurer makes a slightly surprised expression due to Renya’s words.
“You managed to survive, didn’t you? That’s amazing.”
“It was probably good luck.” (Renya)
“You are absolutely right. It is said that the forest was destroyed almost completely. Moreover that it was the deed of demons. It looks like there’s currently an uproar about them building a fortress with a garrison in that neighbourhood.”
It has been turned into a deed by demons? Renya is slightly surprised about the information he heard for the first time.
Certainly, calling it a natural disaster lacks persuasive power. Even if Renya decided to claim it, no one would probably believe him.
Since that the case, the way of accusing the demons of being at fault for everything is easy. It seems to be something that is easily believable.
“So, ni-chan, why the hack are you pulling such difficult face in front of the message board… eh, the beauty next to you is an elf!?”
Finally having noticed Croire’s ears, the adventurer raised a loud voice in surprise.
Croire’s smile changes into something similar to being slightly troubled. Renya tells the adventurer while sighing once,
“Please don’t raise your voice too much. It would be pitiful, if she became frightened.” (Renya)
“Ah, yea, sorry. I have been doing this business for a long time, but leave alone counting elves on a hand, I haven’t seen them at all. I wronged you, too, ojou-chan.”
“No, no need- to do- that.” (Croire)
“Oy, ni-chan. The elf talked in the common language…”
“At the moment she is studying. Don’t worry, the difficulties will vanish before long, too.” (Renya)
“How unbelievable… won’t the higher ups of the city indulge in a bloodshed tomorrow…?”
Due to the adventurer declaring that somewhat dumbfoundedly, Renya decided to try asking as he had nothing to lose anyway.
“There are a bit of special circumstances and it’s only for short term, however there’s a fellow who wants to raise achievements in order to obtain agreement from quite a noble.” (Renya)
“A noble, eh? Ain’t it difficult to just get their agreement as those fellows always find a way to find fault one way or the other?”
“That’s true. We have taken that matter repeatedly into account. Don’t you happen to know about a monster where even a noble likely won’t be able to complain if it’s subjugated?” (Renya)
“Well, I don’t know…”
The adventurer placed his hand on his chin and thought for a while and finally opened his mouth after he put his thoughts in order,
“If you want to obtain such an achievement, there’s no point in talking about small fry. There ain’t no doubt that if you finish off one demon, there won’t be anything beyond that necessary, but no matter how many lives you’ve got, it won’t be enough if you fought against such a thing.”
“Hmm.” (Renya)
“Otherwise, isn’t at least something like a dragon living inside the group of rocky mountains where the <Tomb of the Recluse> is located at, I wonder?”
“Eh? The Tomb of the Recluse is close-by. A dragon is dwelling this close to the city?” (Renya)
The gathering of rocky mountains, where the Tomb of the Recluse can be found, is a place where Renya went once.
It’s a place that is just roughly 20 km away from the city.
Renya pondered about the question whether it is a good thing for a dragon to dwell this close, but the adventurer denied Renya’s words by shaking his head left and right.
“Ni-chan, do you remember at least the geography of the surroundings of the city, you are in? I told you that the dragon’s dwelling is deep inside the group of rocky mountains, right? It takes a few hours to walk to the gathering of rocky mountains, but you won’t arrive there unless you advance north for another full day between the rocky mountains from thereon. Furthermore, you won’t get there if you go at it half-heartedly since monsters appear on the way. Sub-dragons appear in that area, too.”
“Sub-dragons?” (Renya)
“It’s wyvrens or rock dragons. They are weaker than a dragon, but that doesn’t change the fact that they are formidable enemies.”
“Will those guys turn into reasonable achievements?” (Renya)
“That is, it will be no good if it’s only one or two, but… if you defeat a number of them, it will likely result in quite an achievement.”
“Is that so? If we go, we will generally run into a dragon?” (Renya)
“Well, that’s mostly certain, but… ni-chan, do you seriously intend to go?”
Renya answered the adventurer donning a shocked expression with a smile.
“It looks like an opponent that lives in a place where I don’t have to search overly much. If it’s impossible to subjugate them, it looks like I will be able to use the move of making do with defeating a number of those sub-dragons in the vicinity.” (Renya)
“It’s- unlikely for- there to be- a subjugation- request, but- it appears that- you can- make money- from- the raw materials.” (Croire)
The elf’s look isn’t overly surprised due to Renya talking about it thoughtlessly.
Usually, if you were to talk about dragons, they are monsters above A-rank which can be defeated one way or another by adventurers joining together into a bigger party, but do these guys really know about that, I wonder, the middle-aged adventurer became worried.

Chappy o kanshaitashimasu!
I wonder what kind of thing which Liaris promised as reward there, not so knowledgeable about it
Namae Nashi Desu~
Well I got this feeling that he will not get the title as dragon slayer but dragon rider. Kuso, this feeling is that dragoon novel fault that rai-san have being working for…..
I originally thought the mystery object was some kind of food bowl/object, but after he described it as dangerous and to be sealed away I can only think it’s some kind of Bomb or a sex toy of some kind.

#OccupyBigEd
Home 2011 December 31 #OccupyBigEd
cynthia, December 31, 2011 December 31, 2011 , Uncategorized, Charters, Conservative Ed Reform, Michelle Rhee, OccupyBigEd, online learning, Save Our Schools, Value-added, 7
When Republican Congressmen vote against higher nutrition standards for children’s school lunches, carrying out the wishes of “Big Ag” by making the tomato sauce on school lunch pizza the equivalent of a vegetable, we instantly know what that means. Public interests have been sold out again, and we the public have to rally our forces again to prevail.
“Big Ag” is shorthand for what decades of educating the nation’s eaters now understand: billion dollar agricultural interests farm food on a vast scale and deliver it to other multinational corporations that prepare and manufacture raw ingredients into processed food, with the accompanying lobbyists, think tanks, and advertisers to promote Big Ag’s interests to Congress and the consumer. “Pizza is a vegetable” only to the lawmakers who undercut laws and rewrite regulations to suit Big Ag corporations. The 99% — in this case, your child and mine — exists solely as a market that enriches the 1%.
Big Ag, Big Pharma, Big Banks — all quick and memorable shorthand for an interconnected set of behemoth money interests that history has shown puts profit above the needs of people. But it doesn’t mean we the people will lose the war. Look at the ‘whole foods’ movement, which has given rise to locavores, organic gardening for individuals and on a larger scale, families and communities cooking together, and more interest in eating fresh produce and non-GMO foods. We need to bear this in mind as we create a ‘whole child’ movement that’s similarly oriented toward health and human connection, and rescue all the wonderful, priceless things about public education that have helped make this country truly rich — in imagination and ingenuity.
When it comes to public education in America, however, we don’t have the luxury of decades to build the case against 1% billionaire interests that view the nation’s schools as filled by a giant market of helpless, powerless, politically unconnected children, and not the bright, funny, quirky, amazing kids who’ll solve the problems of tomorrow and invent wondrous things we can only guess at today. We need to get up to speed NOW, because the hustle is on NOW, and very soon public education won’t be the gem of our democratic society any more, and neither will we recognize our wonderful republic. For example, in November of 2010, after purchasing an education technology company, Rupert Murdoch of News Corp announced that “When it comes to K through 12 education, we see a $500 billion sector in the US alone that is waiting desperately to be transformed by big breakthroughs that extend the reach of great teaching.” (Mind you, Murdoch’s FOX News is the only infotainment network that leaves its viewers demonstrably less informed — negatively intelligent — about current events than if they’d watched no tv at all.)
So I’m borrowing “Big Ed” to describe those moneyed interests and point out how we parents, educators, and students of all ages through college can fight back. Because the promise of an excellent, free public education through high school (or an affordable and very good public university education) is something that’s essential as DNA to our country in order for it to work the way it’s supposed to. We need people who can understand and solve complex problems, and come up with intelligent, creative solutions. We need to treasure — and nurture — the incredibly varied humanity in our country, and grasp that similar to a healthy eco-system that’s biodiverse, our society and our economy flourish best when everyone is given the opportunity to shoot for the highest reaches of his or her own unique potential. And education is an essential part of that energetic, people-powered abundance. Our fellow Americans have always been our best natural resource, and this is all the more true when it comes to the nation’s youth. It’s how we literally put a man on the moon, and almost single-handedly created revolutionary industries in technology and entertainment. Public investment in a well-educated populace free to explore the boundaries of human ingenuity accomplished that. People in earlier generations we didn’t even know believed in us and had faith we’d do the right thing in the future to safeguard progress. But that chain of trust and faith in a sunnier tomorrow threatens to break. Right now, Big Ed directly threatens the ‘whole child’ movement, dumbing-down the vitality of our big, diverse nation, and relegates college students to decades of student loan servitude.
Who is “Big Ed”?
Meet “Big Ed” —
K-12 Astroturf Parent or Other Front Groups
Big Ed isn’t only Rupert Murdoch; it’s also who he funds, conservative self-described Democrat Michelle Rhee, for example, and Democrats for Education Reform who share the same agenda if not the same financial backers.
For another example of a billionaire-funded “grassroots” group, see Stand For Children, which flew high in its ability to fund Democratic and Republican campaigns in Illinois’ state legislature, but crashed and burned when Jonah Edelman boasted in a notorious video taped at a think tank-like retreat about how successfully Stand For Children pursued their privatizing agenda and tricked the Illinois teachers’ unions with strategic campaign donations to state representatives.
A third example is religious right funder and Michigan Republican activist Betsy DeVos’ organizations, All Children Matter and the equally innocuous-sounding American Federation for Children. All Children Matter skirted the law with its campaign donations:
the political action committee …was fined a record $5.2 million by the Ohio Elections Commission after being charged with illegally shifting money into the state to support candidates considered friendly to private-school ‘choice’ initiatives. It was also fined for political misconduct in Wisconsin, where the group’s 2006 campaigning violated campaign finance laws by expressly urging voters to cast ballots against legislative candidates who backed public education.
As a result of this illegal activity, All Children Matter morphed into Americans for Children and has continued its support of vouchers, charter schools with religious orientations or curriculum (in defiance of Constitutionally-guaranteed rights that protect religious pluralism), and anti-teacher’s union efforts.
StudentsFirst, Michele Rhee’s organization, has been criticized for being the thin edge of the wedge that promises “results”-oriented focus on student achievement and teacher quality, but in fact softens the beach for overreliance on standardized testing that yields outsized test company paydays. Jeff Bryant, writing at Campaign for America’s Future, calls this the “edu-bubble” — how it is that public, not-for-profit education could be commodified through test scores and then traded and speculated upon like jerry-rigged mortgage-backed securities. Bryant explains further:
Most of the money in education is tied-up in just two areas — physical plant and personnel. Those two expenditures alone account for well over 80 percent of what a typical school spends. But with no “revenue” to show in the other side of the balance sheet, venture capitalists were at a loss for how to make schools a matter of financial speculation.
Case in point, one notable edu-venture was Edison Schools which lost millions of dollars every year, showing a profit in just one quarter of the 10 years it was publically traded.
Then education reform advocates — either unwittingly or intentionally (does it matter?) –gave the venture crowd a huge gift by decreeing that student scores on standardized tests would define the learning “output” that schools would be accountable for. And all of a sudden everything monetarily related to schools — operations budgets, teacher salaries, classroom costs, government funds, grant money — could be related to a test score output.
This in effect turned student learning — and by extension, the students themselves — into a commodity that could be speculated on. Now that edu-venturists had something they could put on the other side of the balance sheet, they could now “flip” student test scores into a speculative market. And all sorts of “reform” schemes and start-ups — from starting charter schools to lowering teacher salaries to closing schools — could be rationalized on the basis of test scores.
In the 21 states where districts have adopted “value-added assessment,” teacher careers now balance upon whether children do well on a standardized test. Principals are now roped into the high-stakes testing game, as they build their careers one layer away from the shifting sands of test scores that entrap teachers. Both principals and teachers collude in “erase to the top” scandals where money incentivizes adults for good performance and pizza parties incentivize kids for using the process of elimination to test well.
Bryant, and Jonathan Keller, who developed this idea of the commodification of public education through reformers’ semi-religious faith in quantitative measures, both point out that cheating scandals are the symptom of and not the exception to, a system that rewards all the wrong things:
Weak but clever educators will inevitably find ways to game the system, sometimes by cheating, but more often by coming close, but not stepping over the line: Educators could turn their courses into nothing but test-prep machines; they could refuse to collaborate with colleagues; they could curry favor with students to encourage better results; or take other steps we can’t imagine. Many of these weaker teachers, even short of cheating, might well end up with excellent “value added” scores, while stronger teachers who are honest and don’t play the sharp game end up looking bad.
Where could this lead? Schools could become little more than test-preparation institutes, ignoring subjects and skills that are not assessed, with faculty members who resent and distrust one another. Meanwhile, many honest and dutiful teachers will go down in flames.
The terrible loss for the nation’s children is that they have no say, nor a vote, in how these policies will play out. They must simply depend on adults who care about public education — who remember clearly the days when a low-stakes standardized test had its place, and then you went back to actually learning something — to use the democratic political process to set the system right.
Online Learning Companies
Read this investigative piece by Lee Fang in The Nation now — “How Online Learning Companies Bought America’s Schools.” The Nation piece details how both Democrats and Republicans are uniting to sell “virtual learning” as the next whiz-bang innovation in K-12 education by donating to the campaigns of members of Congress, state legislators, and school board members who’ll pass laws and make decisions to serve their agenda. “Online education” — with no real definition of what this means — is marketed by CEOs of Dell Computer and Microsoft with support by right-wing funders who’ve always sought to eliminate public education. Like the middle-aged white male Forbes columnist who thought all impoverished African American children needed to do was pull themselves up by their free library wifi digital bootstraps, this kind of mushy-headed belief in a-contextual, high-tech solutions alone has enabled many otherwise sane Democrats to ally with the religious right in the name of privatization.
A recent Washington Post article that supports Fang’s reporting describes how
K12[.com] has hired lobbyists from Boise to Boston and backed political candidates who support school choice in general and virtual education in particular. From 2004 to 2010, K12 gave about $500,000 in direct contributions to state politicians across the country, with three-quarters going to Republicans, according to the National Institute on Money in State Politics.
If it were a school district, K12 would rank among the 30 largest of the nation’s 1,500 districts. The company, which began in two states a decade ago, now teaches about 95,000 students in virtual schools in 29 states and the District of Columbia.
It’s a promising business. In the past fiscal year, K12 had revenue of $522 million — a 36 percent increase from the prior year, according to securities filings. Its net income after a series of acquisitions was $12.8 million. [CEO Ron] Packard earned $2.6 million in total compensation.
Packard, 48, took a roundabout route to education. A former Goldman Sachs banker, he was working as a consultant with McKinsey and Co. when he got a call from Michael Milken, the financier who pleaded guilty to securities fraud in 1990 and later became a philanthropist partly focused on education.
And as Fang found, right-wing funders like David and Fred Koch (the purse strings behind the Tea Party) donate to “non-profit” groups like the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC). (Later investigative reports revealed that the so-called “liberal” Gates Foundation also donates to unabashedly right-wing ALEC, after having drifted from a liberalish initial approach in grantgiving.) ALEC’s main function is to ensure that boilerplate bills favoring the interests of the 1% and the corporations they run spread from state to state with maximum ease and speed. No state is safe; even states with a majority Democratic state legislature and a Democratic governor can be held hostage by a GOP/Grover Norquist-dictated “no taxes ever” pledge. (See the “California Bill of Online Education Rights” that some are trying to pass as a ballot initiative.)
Yet online education’s merits are far from proven. The same Washington Post article highlights deep misgivings education researchers have regarding online education, especially as it relates to the very young. Figures from student graduation rates in the piece merited a closer look, where K12.com executives were unable to explain away the same poor student performance that brick and mortar public schools receive excoriating reviews for:
At the Colorado Virtual Academy, which is managed by K12 and has more than 5,000 students, the on-time graduation rate was 12 percent in 2010, compared with 72 percent statewide.
That same year, K12’s Ohio Virtual Academy — whose enrollment tops 9,000 — had a 30 percent on-time graduation rate, compared with a state average of 78 percent.
Here’s how K12 chief executive Ron Packard explained the low performance figures in an interview earlier this month:
“As we grow, we’re getting more and more kids who are coming to us behind grade level. We’re talking two, three years behind grade level. …
“Now, if you’ve got a kid who’s in 6th grade, who’s three years behind grade level, that means his rate of learning is a half-year per year. If we are able to double that so that he’s progressing one year each year, we’ve doubled his learning rate. That’s phenomenal progress. But guess what? He’s still behind. And that kid will never catch up.”
So “virtual homeschooling charter schools” are to be praised for helping kids to the same degree or less as brick and mortar schools considered failing, but brick and mortar neighborhood schools with the same dismal achievement rate must be closed? What if rural schools, as in the California example, are not denying students access to college-prep classes as framed by the so-called “Student Bill of Rights” people, but explanations for underenrollment lie in scheduling and lack of academic preparation in the elementary and middle grades? How does online course access for rural high schools address these issues, and why would a law be needed to require it?
Why the double standard? Aside from the fact that virtual homeschooling charter schools are more profitable to private interests than public schools who do their best with the same struggling student?
Investigative reporter Stephanie Mencimer of Mother Jones highlighted former Florida governor Jeb Bush’s role in privatizing education in her article “Jeb Bush’s Cyber Attack on Schools.” I encourage you to read this carefully as well. Jeb Bush has been savvy enough to put old GOP wine in new, profiteering bottles:
…beneath the [bipartisan reform] rhetoric, the online-education push is also part of a larger agenda that closely aligns with the GOP’s national strategy: It siphons money from public institutions into for-profit companies (including those that are supporting Bush’s initiative). And it undercuts public employees, their unions, and the Democratic base. In the guise of a technocratic policy initiative, it delivers a political trifecta—and a big windfall for Bush’s corporate backers.
Alex Molnar, the director of publications at the National Education Policy Center (NEPC) at the University of Colorado-Boulder, says these policy prescriptions are part of a corporate-driven agenda to access public education funds. “These folks talk about a free market,” he says, “but they couldn’t exist without taxpayer dollars. There is a limited audience for this. You have to get policymakers to force people into it.”
To that end, you have to get policymakers to buy in—and that’s the area where Bush has excelled. Bennet Ratcliff, a political consultant who once produced ads for Bill Clinton and now does PR work for Bush’s foundation, says Digital Learning Now is all about “advocating for policies in the states and in districts that would promote digital learning. For instance, it could be talking to boards of education, it could be talking to state chiefs, it could be talking to governors, district [superintendents], legislators.” None of this, he hastens to add, constitutes lobbying: “I do need to be very clear about that. This is an advocacy and education effort about digital learning. What we are not doing is lobbying.” When I asked him who was actually doing the talking, he replied, “Elves.”
The elves scored their first legislative coup in March, when Utah’s Legislature passed a bill, based almost entirely on the Digital Learning Now blueprint, that provides more opportunity for high school students to take online courses. A few months earlier, Bush had visited Utah to make the case for virtual schools to state legislators and to address Gov. Gary Herbert’s Education Excellence Commission.
drastic cuts to state budgets in the name of “austerity”
GOP state legislators who sign the Grover Norquist “no taxes ever” pledge ensure “austerity” becomes a man-made reality
mass firings of teachers due to “austerity-driven” budget cuts
attacks on teachers using misinformation that stokes public envy of teacher pensions
attacks on teachers’ unions
the problem of rising class sizes “solved” by more computers in the classroom
“online education” pitched as a solution for rural education instead of hiring more teachers or creating partnerships with local community colleges to offer advanced classes to high schoolers
VOILA! You’ve created a market where there was none. Computers will now take over where humans used to teach. And they won’t ask for due process, small class sizes, or rebel when given crummy work sheets to hand out, or question the value of standardized tests.
Philanthropic Foundations That Serve Corporate Agendas
When the Gates Foundation funds research that favors the implementation of more computers, software, and online learning technology that Microsoft Corporation manufactures and sells to schools, the philanthropic arm legitimates and helps create a market for the corporation’s products.
Philanthropic activities by foundations are supposed to have a non-profit social good as their purpose. When philanthropic activities like research or funding of pilot programs serves the parent corporation’s interests, and the Gates Foundation engages in public relations perception management with the creation of astroturf groups that appear to be independent — this seems like an abuse of a 501c3 organization’s acceptable advocacy. How is this any different than a tax-exempt subsidy for lobbying and/or public relations services?
The Gates Foundation is but one such foundation closely tied with a technology company that has a heavyweight philanthropic presence to help it create a market. Like a black hole, the Gates Foundation warps time and space and sucks light into the policy priorities it deems important, deforming the direction money flows from other, smaller foundations around it. Several Gates Foundation alumni and appointees to the Obama administration Department of Education had to be given waivers that otherwise prohibited lobbyists and others from serving in government. One critic of the system says, “’It’s sort of influence-peddling writ large,’ said Richard L. Brodsky, a senior fellow at the liberal-leaning research organization Demos and a former New York State assemblyman. ‘The notion that the society is better served by the super-rich exercising their charitable instincts is in the end anti-democratic.’”
Like the Gates Foundation, the Dell Foundation is another that gives in accord with its business interests. The Broad Foundation is also involved in training school superintendents who are presumably aligned with the privatizing goals of Eli Broad himself. This money, totalling $4 billion out of some $600 billion in all fifty states that taxpayers spend on public education, might seem like a drop in the bucket, but it has disproportionate impact. And it creates dependency on philanthropy and erodes public belief that public dollars, accountable to public officials, should be spent on the nation’s schools. Says Michael Redell, of the Campaign for Educational Equity at Teacher’s College, NY:
That’s not the way we should be supporting our system of public education, to depend on outbursts of altruism from publicly-spirited individuals. It’s a public responsibility and should be supported that way.
In an environment where percentage of state funding to “public Ivies” has dwindled from 20-40% down to 7-11%, and in California, about $18 billion has been cut from K-12 education in the past four years, this creates enormous vulnerability to market forces. From the perspective of privatizers and billionaire philanthropists, this is a feature, not a bug.
Look, for example, at how philanthropists were able to “buy” (subsidize) 13 research fellows who advise the NY State Board of Regents on testing and other education policy for the state:
Those donors include Bill Gates ($892,000), who is leading the charge to evaluate teachers, principals and schools using students’ test scores; the National Association of Charter School Authorizers ($50,000) and the Robbins Foundation ($500,000), which finance charter expansion; and the Tortora Sillcox Family Foundation ($500,000), whose mission statement includes advancing “Mayor Bloomberg’s school reform agenda.”
Look also at how the non-profit foundations of textbook/testing companies use junkets and other extracurricular carrots to motivate public officials to award lucrative contracts to the same companies — a report in the NYT highlights how Pearson, a multinational textbook/testing company, holds contracts in seven of the ten states where the Pearson Foundation has wined and dined state education commissioners. From the same story: “Mr. Jennings of the Center on Education Policy says there needs to be more of a wall between test companies and state officials. ‘We shouldn’t let these companies — that make tests, textbooks, curriculum materials — buy the loyalty of educators the way the drug companies have bought the loyalty of doctors,’ he said.” (Remind you of Big Pharma?)
What’s terrible is that ordinarily liberal-minded high-tech executives are so eagerly allying with right-wing and religious right funders of public school privatization like Betsy DeVos (former CEO of Blackwater Erik Prince’s sister), David Brennan (White Hat Charters), and the ultra-conservative Walton family (Wal*Mart), and the previously mentioned Jeb Bush. Predatory profiteering isn’t limited to one political party.
Charter School Management “Franchises” Set Up McSchools
The charter school movement started with two goals in mind: 1) to allow for creative experiments in school structures, curriculum, and teaching, the best of which would then be folded back into regular public schools; and 2) to allow for more experiments in local control of schools. In the majority of cases, charters have strayed far from both original impulses.
There is no consortium, program, ongoing conference, institute, or local/state/federal government entity to evaluate charter school innovation and then fold those insights back into existing local schools. This is in direct violation of the language used to approve much charter legislation that enabled their inception — it’s a broken promise.
Second, local neighborhood charters started by parents, teachers, and community members with exciting new ideas for public education have now been overshadowed by large, multi-state charter chains. Like a McDonald’s franchise, these charter chains are often the opposite of locally-grown and community administered.
large urban school districts touted as failures, with charters as the seemingly sole solution (never magnet schools or community-based re-organization)
well-funded businesspeople launch charter schools subsidized by taxpayer money for schools that perform as poorly or more poorly than the troubled public schools many parents, especially low-income parents, seek to flee
charters are positioned as the last, best hope of inner city brown and black children otherwise trapped in “failing schools” — education historian Diane Ravitch has admitted as much from her days at a conservative education think tank
entrepreneurs like wealthy NYC socialite Eva Moskowitz launch vanity or boutique charters that cater to middle and upper middle class parents despite the original mandate of charters to find innovations that help low-income students
charter management CEOs pay themselves salaries 20-30% higher than principals or superintendents in the public sector (in some cases higher than the Chancellor of NYC public schools), but aim people’s animosity at “overpaid” public school principals
non-profit charters defraud public money when they shunt taxpayer dollars to affiliated for-profit companies that supply equipment, school materials, curriculum, or other education-related needs run by friends, relatives, or spouses
parent participation as a volunteer fundraising labor force is expected but little to no accommodation for parent participation in school governance is offered
charter chains focus on urban areas to set up sweetheart real estate leasing deals and charge rent to schools equivalent to what they might’ve been able to purchase the property for, which is why so few charters focus on rural towns where poverty and lack of museums, few cultural institutions, and a small or weak business/residential tax base are problems equal to those experienced by urban schools
Textbook/Curriculum/Testing Companies
Consolidation of textbook publishers and companies that provided other curriculum materials, and mergers with testing companies, have created what one longtime parent activist calls the “self-licking ice cream cone.”
Here, the must-read is this investigative Texas Observer article, “Education, Inc.: How Private Companies Are Profiting From Texas Public Schools.” See how completely the tentacles of Pearson, the UK textbook publisher/testing/remedial and prep conglomerate, reach deep into the heart of Texas public schools:
Pearson, one of the giants of the for-profit industry that looms over public education, produces just about every product a student, teacher or school administrator in Texas might need. From textbooks to data management, professional development programs to testing systems, Pearson has it all—and all of it has a price. For statewide testing in Texas alone, the company holds a five-year contract worth nearly $500 million to create and administer exams. If students should fail those tests, Pearson offers a series of remedial-learning products to help them pass. Meanwhile, kids are likely to use textbooks from Pearson-owned publishing houses like Prentice Hall and Pearson Longman. Students who want to take virtual classes may well find themselves in a course subcontracted to Pearson. And if the student drops out, Pearson partners with the American Council on Education to offer the GED exam for a profit.
In some cases, the only part of education that remains public is the school itself. Nearly every other aspect of educating children—exams, textbooks, online classes, even teacher certification—is now provided by for-profit companies.
The entire article is well worth the read. Remember the “self-licking ice cream cone” that my parent activist friend called this self-perpetuating cycle? What’s the point of having competitive bidding for lucrative state education contracts if the consolidation of testing/textbook/prep companies has already occurred and become a monopoly? Then it’s a simple matter of dealing with the textbook arm of the octopus while another contract’s signed with the standardized test arm of the same octopus. Can an underfunded and understaffed state agency, which is not all that motivated to protect public education (or they wouldn’t have the annual religious fundamentalist debacle over textbooks that lands Texas in the news), really be the watchdog over this process, especially if the revolving door for Texas Education Agency staffers lands them right in Pearson’s arms after a brief period of service in the public sector?
I don’t mean to pick on Texas, but they are the second largest textbook market and what gets written to their standards can end up in a Maine classroom, whether Maine teachers like it or not.
And here’s what $5 billion in lobbyists achieve:
This legislative session, [Texas] lawmakers cut an unprecedented $5 billion from public education, including funding for a variety of programs to help struggling students improve their performance on state tests. Despite the cuts, Pearson’s funding streams remain largely intact. [emphasis mine]
This imbalance in the allocation of taxpayer money — steady declines in money that goes to the classroom but rising bottom lines for test, textbook and other corporations in the business of education — is no doubt repeated around the country. Lest you need reminding, testing is not teaching and classrooms, not testing week, are where the kids learn. Isn’t there something deeply wrong when multinational corporations are insulated from “austerity” but teachers and kids must experience the full brunt with cuts to core staff, classes, and transportation to school?
No Child Left Behind creates a teach-to-the-test regime
test companies ramp up offerings and enjoy record quarterly profits since NCLB’s passage since every school must now show “Adequate Yearly Progress”
conservative Democrats enamored of technocratic “ed reform” demand that teacher performance be predicated on student standardized tests scores
major urban school super-districts (DC, Atlanta, NYC) offer incentives to principals and teachers to push students to achieve high test scores (the result of the skewed incentive system is massive systemwide cheating as opposed to widespread student improvement in test scores)
test scores are used to fire “underperforming” teachers using flawed evaluation criteria
Common Core Standards, with the potential for increasing the need for standardized testing in even more subject areas, could prove the biggest benefit of all to testing companies
charter schools launched by curriculum and textbook companies conveniently and self-servingly use only their own materials, restricting what teachers can teach and what students will learn
the demand for high standardized test scores feeds the secondary “prep” market
anemic curriculum watered-down and narrowed by NCLB mandates, and “austerity”-driven cuts from decreased state aid eliminate gifted and talented materials, driving parents to supplement at private “prep” classes
public schools forced to cut music, theatre, art, science, history and other “extras” that previous generations enjoyed as part of a free, great public school education drives families to private and charter schools, virtual solutions like K12.com (no connection to K12NewsNetwork.com) and to private classes
there’s more and more talk of “accountability” which leads to more tests issued and greater dependence on data-driven teaching
companies start highly profitable alternative teacher credentialing programs that are completely online with little oversight of work actually completed or a person to engage the teacher on the subject matter

If online learning for K-12 is highly profitable because “online homeschooling charters” eliminate the teacher and supply $1500 worth of computer and lesson plans in exchange for $5,000-$10,000 of state education funding that follows the student, then the higher ed equivalent is the for-profit private college which also purports to provide college courses at the student’s convenience. Like K-12 online learning, there’s no research supporting the notion that online learning is even equal in quality to in-person teaching. Perhaps 18 year olds and up, including mid-career returning students, can be trusted to discern what’s of value and what’s not, and higher education is elective as opposed to mandatory K-10 or K-12 education, but even so, many older students or military families seeking flexible hours promised by online learning gravitate to low-quality for-profit distance learning diploma mills. They’re pressured by boiler-room salesmen into signing up for shady loans and receive class credits they can’t transfer to real colleges and degrees that are useless on the job market.
Many students have become trapped by skyrocketing debt burdens from attending both online for-profit colleges and reputable bricks and mortar colleges where tuition increases have vastly outpaced inflation. College loan defaults are at their highest level in decades.

And young veterans and military families seeking portable higher ed have spent GI Bill dollars on online for-profit higher education that’s turned out to be a total ripoff.
#OccupyBigEd — What You Can Do
What all of these con jobs have in common is moneyed interests
1) refusing to contribute to the common good through taxes and deliberately underfunding public education to create “demand” for their products, privatized schooling — an often inferior “product” offered at greater expense
2) trying to siphon off as much taxpayer money as possible to their largely unproven McSchools and McTests that have not shown they deliver much real educational benefit
When college students and their families or veterans and military families have depleted borrowed money and are left with no public infrastructure and no jobs with which to repay debt, when children have had all the inborn curiosity and sense of exploration pummeled out of them and only the elite receive stimulating, thought-provoking educations, the 1% who profit from all this will move on from the rubble and find another arena to exploit. We will not have public schools left where children learn how to become citizens and neighbors. We won’t have state universities and colleges that are truly publicly-funded and carry out the mission to educate the residents of that state, feeding its prosperity and enabling a new generation of people to secure an affordable, high-quality education.
Unless — here’s where we come in. We must fight for our children’s futures. We must insist that public education be fully funded, that young people embarking on a college education don’t start life courting bankruptcy or saddled with debt that steals their dreams. We must #OccupyBigEd, and fight it tooth and nail.
1) Fully & equitably fund public education, including higher ed. This means taxing corporations at the state and federal level. This also means taxes on millionaires in every state. Revenue must support education, which is public investment in the future. The middle class has stepped up time and again through regressive sales taxes and community-based parcel taxes while some corporations flaunt the fact that they paid little to no federal tax and some top earners in each state would rather pay money to lobby once against millionaire taxes than pay what they owe every year. It is unacceptable for more be spent on prisons than education.
2) Reject “no taxes ever” pledges and candidates for public office who sign them.
3) Roll back the data-driven, testing regime. This requires serious attention to No Child Left Behind, preferably before House Republicans rush through a partisan bill with more of the same. Demand that data zealots take their own tests and see if they pass. If they don’t, why listen to them? Instead, demand high-quality assessments that require students to show what they know, whether through portfolios of work, public presentations, or performances.
4) Reject voucher bills, even if they’re renamed “scholarships.”
5) Limit charter school expansion. Would you rather volunteer to make your existing neighborhood public school great, or would you rather volunteer hours to create, launch, and administer a charter and fundraise to pay for high overhead that includes bloated charter management organization salaries? So long as funding for charter school facilities lags charter school creation, there will continue to be battles over co-location and school sites. It’s not enough to simply draw up the papers — facilities matter. State and local funding for school building construction has not kept pace, making indiscriminate charter expansion an unfunded mandate.
5a) Severely restrict online education “requirements,” often couched as online charters. If on the internet, as the old saying goes, “no one knows if you’re a dog,” how will anyone be able to verify if your virtual dog ate your virtual homework?
6) For every charter school billionaire philanthropists fund, they must put an equivalent amount toward also funding mechanisms by which innovations can be streamlined back into existing neighborhood public schools. It is the responsibility of charter schools to do this.
7) Pass the Charter Schools Transparency and Good Governance Act to make financial auditing of public money that supports charters consistently open and accessible across all fifty states.
8 ) Support and elect local school board candidates who fully support existing public schools and are not part of the “ed reform” agenda, nor do they accept donations from “ed reform” organizations or individuals.
9) Demand a moratorium on raises for high-level administrative staff at state universities during a time of budget cuts.
10) Enact student loan forgiveness programs.
11) Demand resignation of university officials that ordered, allowed, permitted, or excused the use of excessive police force on students peaceably demonstrating free speech. This is unacceptable in an institution of higher learning whose core purpose is free intellectual inquiry.
12) Reconstitute the Regents of any public university so that no members of the 1% can have investments or run companies that profit from higher ed; enforce strict standards governing conflict of interest. (I.e., the Richard Blum rule.)
13) Force the Regents to prominently report to the public the status of university investments, including disclosures of possible conflicts of interest, and re-balance university investment portfolios away from risky private equity and toward safer long-term investments. Criminalize self-dealing.
14) Increase the number of faculty and student-elected members of the Board of Regents.
15) Bring the UC system back to its core mission as articulated in the Master Plan. Require that state assembly and state senators uphold, ratify, and vote in support of the Master Plan. Where this is relevant for all other state university systems, update and reconnect the state legislature with the equivalent Master Plan mission of affordable, high-quality education to all residents of the state.
16) Shut down for-profit online colleges that cannot document graduation, attrition, and job placement rates, have fly-by-night accreditation, and exist primarily as Pell grant money-laundering outfits. These “subprime” colleges flourish when inexpensive community colleges cut back on courses and for-profit colleges prey upon unsuspecting students who don’t realize that the increased cost for a poor-quality degree isn’t worth the debt.
17) Revisit the “90-10 rule” and demand that the Obama administration stand up to the for-profit education industry even if it means pissing off Democratic lobbyists and donors.
I cherish the public education I received, and that I incurred only a little bit of debt in pursuing it. This was an incredible gift given to me by strangers who came before me, and now it’s my turn to pass it on. I want the same golden opportunities for young people today and for the smallest children coming up behind them that I had. No less.
Start small, with your local school. Make sure people who have children who attend local public schools and have a direct stake in the system are elected to school boards. People want good schools — in case of a disaster that’s very often where we come together to make sure the community’s children are safe. Well, there isn’t an earthquake or hurricane driving us to the local public school — this time the disaster is what the 1% is doing to public education. We need to gather at our public schools and help them resist “free market” imperatives by keeping them free, funded, excellent, and relevant.
Put money into schools. There is no civilization unless we all chip in; schools aren’t an expense, but the biggest investment we make in the future. Support teachers. Good, experienced ones are a key part of the community, they help shape your children’s abilities, they sometimes see your children for more hours of the day than you do, and incidentally, they keep your property values solid.
Fight back against the “austerity” hawks, the “no taxes ever” people, and the idea that “Big Ed” can profit but money that goes directly to the classroom must be cut. We have to flip those priorities so that instead, classroom teaching and learning are paramount. De-fund the privatizers — shift demand away from test-driven education and make hedge fund billionaires pay taxes through their businesses and in personal income taxes that support public education before they dabble in “ed reform.”
Did you know that even as high-tech wealth goes to push charter chains, some of those same people resisted a millionaire’s tax in Washington state that would’ve funded public education? Jeff Bezos personally gave $100,000 to anti-Prop 1098 efforts that would’ve taxed Washington state millionaires. And they also gave to school board candidates who support their charter expansion agenda. At least Amazon.com, which has exploited a loophole preventing it from having to pay state sales tax on purchases made through its online store, will no longer be de-funding states around the country as of this coming fall, 2012.
Equality of opportunity if not equality of circumstance — this is a bedrock value our country was founded on. An excellent public education — universally accessible — is key to our uplift. If we let this slip away, we won’t recognize who we are or what we’ve become after the 1% are done.

Reach for the stars – unless you’re a girl
It’s fifty years since a woman first flew in outer space, so why do space-themed children’s toys, books and clothes rarely show girls? asks Tricia Lowther.
Valentina Tereshkova, first woman in space
Fifty years ago this weekend, Valentina Tereshkova became the first woman to travel into outer space. Tereshkova was a cosmonaut on the USSR spaceflight Vostok 6, two years after Yuri Gagarin’s 1961 spaceflight. By the 1980’s female astronauts were commonplace, amongst them Sally Ride, the youngest ever US astronaut, and Helen Sharman, who beat almost 13,000 applicants to become the first British astronaut. As I write, US astronaut Karen Nyberg is taking part in her second space trip aboard the International Space Station. So, you have to wonder why a recent entry to The Everyday Sexism project read: “My daughter asked today if she could change into a boy so she could go into space.”
The boy astronaut is a common motif when it comes to products aimed at children. If a toy shelf has a ‘Boys’ sign above it you can be sure that anything connected with outer space will be there. It’s not just toys; clothes, greetings cards, bedding, all sorts of items aimed at children label astronauts, rockets and aliens as ‘boys’. On a trip to the shops with my daughter last week, we saw numerous boy astronaut motifs; on books, stickers, clothes etc., but no girls.
When my daughter asked for her bedroom to be decorated in an outer space theme I began an online search and found the idea overwhelmingly represented as a boys theme: images of bedding with boy as astronaut next to girl as, (what else?), princess; ‘Ideas for Boy’s Bedrooms’ writ large above the webpage. I realised my plan of looking at ideas with her and choosing together would be difficult if I wanted her to avoid these ridiculous gendered messages. The same goes for choosing toys and books with gender parity on the boxes/in the pages, if space is for everyone, why do I have to search beyond the usual to find books and images that represent girls and women?
Keep reaching!
Space fascinates people across all walks of life, irrelevant of gender so it’s hard to understand why retailers and manufacturers refuse to acknowledge the interest of girls. In Carrie Goldman’s, Bullied, (a book that grew from a blog post about Goldman’s daughter being ridiculed for taking a Star Wars product into school), Ashley Eckstein, who voices Ahsoka Tano in Star Wars: The Clone Wars movie, suggests that there’s no impetus to change the marketing for a hugely successful product, even if, as in the case of Star Wars, research shows that close to 50% fans are female. The viewing figures for the Syfy channel support this, with a gender breakdown of 56% male and 44% female.
Dr Jenny Search is a Durham based scientist who provides activity sessions for schools. She says; “I work in a lot of primary schools and space activities always go down well, I have never noticed a gender split – if something is fun and engaging, children enjoy it regardless of gender. I often observe adults have their own perceptions though with comments like, ‘Thanks, the boys really enjoyed launching the rockets’, when in fact the whole class has enjoyed it”.
Jenny’s daughter asked for a ‘space party with a moon cake’ for her 5th birthday party. Jenny said; “Some parents seemed surprised that a girl would want a space theme rather than a princess theme. I used a transfer to print a rocket on one of her t-shirts to wear at the party as all space themed kids’ clothes seem to be for boys.”
I asked the National Space Centre for an opinion on space and gender. They told me; “we do not create any gender specific content, the focus is very much on fun for all the family and communicating a fascinating subject matter relevant to all”. They also assured me that their gift shop is laid out by product type with nothing gender specific, the only theme being space – good news for any parents planning to take their children.
Kate Gray has a different story to tell about her visit to the gift shop at the Kennedy Space Centre, Florida; “it’s such an inspiring place, full of science and wonder, but when you get to the shop, the majority of clothing for girls is pink, glittery, or talks about being a “space princess”. It is such a shame because NASA themselves do such a lot to encourage women and girls into STEM careers, but gift stores at their centres, (not run by them), don’t seem to follow the same tack. It’s really bad that having been encouraged to dream about exploring, seeing what’s possible, perhaps even meeting astronauts, that the girl’s souvenir t-shirts fall back on lazy “girly” stereotypes. I was really disappointed.”
Science writer and broadcaster Sue Nelson agrees, she mentions an astronaut Barbie key ring that was a gift from a NASA shop; “the packaging has a pink background and – while delighted at the kitsch nature of the present and that at least there’s a woman astronaut – that has to be countered by the fact that it proudly states: First stilettos on the moon!”
Sue complained to her local Tesco after being shocked that telescopes, microscopes and crystal growing science kits were deemed ‘boys toys’. She says; “Space toys shouldn’t have a gender. As a kid, I loved anything space related and wrote to NASA aged 13 asking how to become an astronaut. When are the world and toy manufacturers going to wake up to the fact that women have been going into space for 50 years? Women are space scientists, engineers, astronauts and scientists. It should be absolutely normal to see this reflected in toys.”
Kate and Sue are among 45 women who have reached the second round of the Axe/Lynx space challenge to become an astronaut. They are part of Astrogrrls, a campaign to encourage and support women entering the competition, in which Lynx came under fire for sexist advertisements.
Physics and Astrophysics student, Gillian Finnerty, helped to found the Astrogrrls. Gillian is disheartened by the way space themed toys are too often marketed to boys and says that toy packaging can be seen as a form of discrimination; “We need to let marketers know that sexist packaging and advertising is unacceptable, such packaging should not reach the eyes of young, impressionable children, or anyone for that matter.” Gillian thinks that the repeated viewing of these images may have an effect on career choices in later life.

Space scientist, Maggie Aderin-Pocock recently talked to The Guardian about the way society pigeonholes people according to their sex; “People often respond with surprise to the fact that I’m a space scientist – they’re not expecting to see a black woman in the role – and I’d like to see a time when those barriers didn’t exist, when girls believed they could do anything”. She mentioned a ball game she’d bought for her three year old daughter that was described on the packaging as a boy’s toy.
I recently took a decision not to buy anything for my daughter that was labelled ‘boys’ or came from a shelf that said ‘boys’. While this can make shopping tricky, it makes us more creative, and at least her outer space themed bedroom will not be lining the pockets of companies who promote gender stereotypes. If all parents did this perhaps the drop in profits would force retailers and manufacturers to see that everyone should be able to reach for the stars.
Let Toys Be Toys is asking retailers to stop limiting children’s interests by promoting some toys as only suitable for girls, and others only for boys. Sign our petition or find out more.

‘Boy’ and ‘girl’ bedroom decor drives me nuts. My son and daughter share a room! We can’t be that unusual. Both of them love space and we have glow in the dark planet stickers and stars on the ceiling. Hope you found cool stuff for the bedroom project!

A timely post; I have just asked an online toy retailer why the “Cosmic Rocket” is listed under ‘learning’ in their boys’ category, but not listed at all under ‘science and education’ in the girls’ category.
Their response;
I think the vast majority of girls wouldn’t be all that interested in a product like ‘Cosmic Rocket’ which would explain why it is where it is among the categories.
According to them “Science and Education” for Girls is about “Learn to make soaps, perfumes, lip gloss and much, much more”. Despite having a science degree I’ve never made soap, perfume, lip gloss. I guess analysing proteins in dairy products came under the “much much more”.
(And yes I have also pointed out that they could skip the gender labels and the sexist text on their site)
Hi Louise, that’s shocking! Can you let us know who the retailer was? If you’re willing to share the correspondence we’d love to see it: contact us at lettoysbetoys@gmail.com
I’ve emailed you – but the whole correspondence is in the public domain as it occurred on their facebook page.

I wanted to be an astronaut too when I was a little girl and I had a truck, that I used more than my doll’s pram. Sadly, it doesn’t stop with astronauts, it is also pirates, builders, football (my daughter “lived” in her football kit for two years) and more concerning than all: education. As it seems reading is for girls and maths is for boys.
Anna McQuinn
A colleague, who uses our What Are You Playing At to do work around values and gender told me that the page they encountered most opposition to was the woman astronaut page – boys saying ‘no women don’t do that’ – it really does feel like we’re going backwards.

Firearm-Makers May Finally Decide It’s in Their Interest to Help Reduce Gun Violence After Sandy Hook Ruling
Timothy D. Lytton, Georgia State University
Mass shootings have become a routine occurrence in America.
Gun-makers have long refused to take responsibility for their role in this epidemic. That may be about to change.
The U.S. Supreme Court on Nov. 12 refused to block a lawsuit filed by the families of the Sandy Hook Elementary mass shooting victims, clearing the way for the litigation to proceed. Remington Arms, which manufactured and sold the semiautomatic rifle used in the attack, had hoped the broad immunity the industry has enjoyed for years would shield it from any liability.
The prospect of more claims from victims of mass shootings puts new pressure on the gun industry to reconsider the way it does business.
My research over the past 20 years on lawsuits against the gun industry examines how the threat of civil liability has the potential to promote safer gun designs, encourage more responsible marketing practice and reduce the risk of illegal retail sales.
The end of immunity
A 2006 law called the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act grants gun manufacturers broad immunity from civil lawsuits that arise out of the criminal misuse of a weapon.
However, this immunity does not apply where a manufacturer “knowingly violated a state or federal statute applicable to the sale or marketing” of a firearm.
The Sandy Hook families allege that Remington, by marketing certain guns to civilians, engaged in “unethical” business methods in violation of the Connecticut Unfair Trade Practices Act. Specifically, they argued Remington “marketed, advertised and promoted the Bushmaster XM15-E2S for civilians to use to carry out offensive, military-style combat missions against their perceived enemies.”
Remington asked the court to throw out the lawsuit based on the federal immunity statute, but the Connecticut Supreme Court held that a violation of the state’s unfair trade practices law qualifies as an exception to the industry’s liability shield.
Now that the U.S. Supreme Court has refused to hear Remington’s appeal, the case will move into discovery and, potentially, trial in a Connecticut state court.
Since many states have unfair trade practices laws like Connecticut’s, gun violence victims are likely to bring similar claims elsewhere, effectively ending the gun industry’s federal immunity from civil lawsuits.

Reducing gun violence
In other industries, the threat of civil liability has encouraged manufacturers to take steps in design, marketing and retail to reduce the risk of injuries associated with their products. Lawsuits have prompted automakers to develop safer car designs, vaping companies to end marketing aimed at teens and opioid manufacturers to take responsibility for oversupplying pills to irresponsible retailers.
Similarly, exposing gun manufacturers to civil liability is likely to encourage them to consider reducing the lethality of their civilian weapons. The popularity of semiautomatic firearms increases the risk that gun violence incidents will cause multiple gunshot wounds to large numbers of victims. Companies may wish to limit their liability exposure by reducing the firepower of their products.
Additionally, companies may wish to reconsider marketing campaigns that extol the combat characteristics of weapons they sell on the civilian market. Such campaigns are likely to give rise to more lawsuits alleging that such promotional tactics increase the risk that their guns will be the weapon of choice for mass shooters.
Finally, lawsuits may encourage gun companies to work harder to teach retailers how to spot and prevent illegal straw purchases, in which a person buys a gun for someone else who is legally prohibited from purchasing it. The industry’s trade association – the National Shooting Sports Council – has long had a training and certification program for retailers to reduce the risk of illegal straw purchases. Beefing up that effort is another way to reduce the industry’s liability exposure.
None of these actions would weaken the Second Amendment or undermine the commercial viability of the gun industry.

Regardless of whether the Sandy Hook families ultimately prevail, the U.S. Supreme Court’s refusal to hear an appeal in the case appears to have blown a giant hole in the gun industry’s immunity from civil litigation.
However, this may not be the court’s last word on the subject. The justices might have another opportunity to review the case if the Sandy Hook plaintiffs win and the case works its way back up to the high court. The Supreme Court could then decide that the exception to federal immunity applies more narrowly.
Moreover, there is no guarantee that other state courts will adopt the Connecticut Supreme Court’s interpretation of the immunity exception. Federal courts in New York and California have rejected similar lawsuits. Also, unfair trade practices laws in other states frequently limit lawsuits to product consumers, excluding claims by others injured by the products.
In addition, gun violence victims face other challenges in winning their claims. They must convince judges and juries that routine industry marketing strategies constitute unfair trade practices and prove that those practices played a role in enabling criminal attacks. Prior to passage of federal immunity, no plaintiff ever won a lawsuit against a gun manufacturer for an injury arising out of criminal misuse of a weapon.
Finally, litigation is not a panacea. Stemming the epidemic of gun violence in the U.S. will require a concerted effort by industry, government and organized citizen groups across the political spectrum.
Lawsuits can help jump-start this process, but they are only the beginning.

Sonic Forces (Mac OS) Download Free:
Download Sonic Forces (2017) for Mac OS. Sonic Forces MAC Download Torrent Full Game. New very interesting 3D platformer video game developed by Sonic Team and published by SEGA.
Genre: Action, Arcade
Languages: English, Italian, Spanish, etc.
Developer: Sonic Team
Sonic Forces is a sequel of sorts to Sonic Generations, which came out in 2011. That game switches between modern and classic versions of Sonic. The classic levels in that game are like Sonic’s 16-bit games on the Genesis. The modern levels switch between 2D and 3D perspectives.
The 3D game uses the Hedgehog Engine 2.0, which delivers better 3D effects such as realistic textures, realistic lighting, and the shine of reflections off water. And whether it’s 2D or 3D, the game is fast, and it requires fast reflexes and button-pushing skills. I like the look of the 3D game better than the 2D, if only because the background catches my eye more often because it’s so beautiful.
OS: Mac OS 10.6+
Sound Card: Sound: 11 compatible

2014’s Top 5 Best New Handguns.
12/30/2014 MadOgre 8 Comments
I had intended to write this list before the Worst list… But had too much fun with the Worsts. Here’s my favorites from all the handguns released in 2014.
#1. The Glock 42. Despite being a .380 Auto, a subcompact .380 is just what some folks wanted, and has resurrected general interest pocket .380’s after the surge crested about 4 years ago. Concealed Carry remains a top reason for new gun purchases, and according to GunBroker.com the Glock 42 is #4 for Semi Auto pistol sales. Yes, this pistol was on my Worst list because of the disappointment factor. But for those wanting a .380 Auto pocket pistol the G42 has been the Go-To option for most people. It offers good sights and a good trigger in a compact package. Other options that offer this are the SIG 238, the Kimber Micro, and Colt Mustang… and all of them costing as much as 200 dollars more.
#2 Ruger’s GP100 Match Champion. This classic revolver has the features that I want on a general purpose carry revolver. Big visible front sight, fixed rear that isn’t just part of the frame, good grips, target crown, and a good trigger. I was mulling over the idea of getting another revolver… and the Match Champion is the one that pushed that desire over the edge as it’s everything I wanted to do with a GP100. The half lug is a give or take sort of feature, but I find it visually appealing on this gun.
#3 Walther PPQ 5″. This gun was probably the most interesting new pistol I handled at 2014 SHOT. It’s simply a long slide version of the PPQ, which already had a ton of great attributes. Now, you get a good sight radius and barrel length to go with that great trigger the Walther has. Walther is Germany’s 3rd great Gun Maker… behind HK and SIG (You guys can argue which is first and second) and it’s been the one with the most ups and downs. 10 years ago I said that Walther was struggling to maintain its significance. In 2014 it has certainly found it. This is one of the very best handguns on the market. Period.
#4 The HK VP9. This is the pistol that HK needed to build years ago. Not because it’s just a Striker version of the P30… but because it’s priced where HK pistols should be priced. It’s about 200 bucks less then others, and that’s were they should have all been. It also has something rather new to HK since the P7… a damn good trigger. Not just a good trigger for HK, but it’s just a damn good trigger. Not as good as Walther’s PPQ trigger – but then again nothing is. But this trigger in an HK pistol was unexpected. Really, I think this makes it the best pistol HK has ever made.
#5 S&W Model 69 Combat Magnum. What makes this model 69 so sweet, other than the innuendo of the name, is that this .44 magnum is built on the smaller and lighter L frame instead of Smith’s normal N frame from .44 mags. The L Frame is Smith’s frame for the delicious 686 series of revolvers. So now you have that, but with full .44 Mag power. That is just a fantastic balance of size and weight and power. I had a 3″ 696 in .44 Special and loved it. But it was incomplete due to the lack of horsepower. When you say “.44” you are not looking for a mild and pleasant plinker… you are wanting a ferocious monster slayer. Here you go.
There are a couple Honorable Mentions: Springfield’s XDS 4.0, Ruger LCRX, Ruger LC9S.

Robert Evans says:
Have to agree on the GP100 Match Champion. I’ve been lusting after that one ever since Ruger introduced it. In a bit of nostalgia, take a look at the shape of the grips on it: they are nearly identical to the Trooper stocks that the late revolver aficionado Bill Jordan championed.
mattitude says:
I forsee a VP9 in my near future…
…and I just picked up one today as a late Christmas present.
MadOgre says:
It’s a nice pistol to be sure.
How do you like it compared to the P30?
The reset is noticeably shorter and the trigger is crisp, other than that it feels exactly the same. For 599.00 for a brand new H&K I couldn’t go wrong, IMO THE best deal out there.
Zendo Deb says:
How can the GLOCK 42 be #1 on both the Best and Worst lists?
Did you not read? Seriously, because I spent like a whole 7 minutes explaining that… it’s the words right under the pictures.

The TRUTH about cellular health though hydrogen, why we are hydrogen deficient and the problems this causes, and amazing health and healing with six simple substances, including the amazing hydrogen molecule! Get ready for an episode that will change the way you think about hydration, and true health and healing.
Did you know you are Hydrogen deficient? Hydrogen gas (plus five other substances) can truly hydrate you, defeat dis-ease, add years to your life!
George Wiseman
George Wiseman is a true American inventor, with a twist. He invents world changing technology but does not patent it. Instead he sells the information and devices goes directly to the public and teaches as many people as he can how to duplicate his innovations. Yes, several people have used his technologies to make millions and not paid Mr. Wiseman a dime. But that is OK by Mr. Wiseman, because he is trying to get his innovations actually USED by the public.
He thinks of himself as an alternative energy researcher and started his business, Eagle-Research, in 1984; at first selling fuel saving information and technology. He was able to revolutionize that genre, not only inventing several practical fuel savers, but also the technology that allowed fuel savers to interface with modern fuel systems. He then became an expert in Browns’ Gas, also known as HHO or HydrOxy, and has focused on that for the last 20 years.
Fuel Savings was just one of the more than 30 useful applications for HydrOxy. Another Mr. Wiseman optimized was using HydrOxy to replace torch fuels like acetylene. The application he is currently focused on is HydrOxy for health. Hydrogen for health is fast becoming one of the most important innovations of all time and Mr. Wiseman is guiding the technology into using practical and SAFE technologies to apply it.

Illegal Immigrant Cristian Bahena Rivera Charged For The Murder of Mollie Tibbetts
August 22, 2018 NewsAsylum Staff Crime 0
Police have charged an illegal immigrant with the murder of a missing Iowa jogger. A first-degree murder charge was filed on Tuesday against a young man in the case of missing Iowa jogger Mollie Tibbetts, state officials said Tuesday.
24-year-old Cristhian Rivera, an undocumented immigrant, was charged with first-degree murder after having confessed to the killing of Mollie Tibbetts. Mollie Tibbetts’ body was recovered Tuesday morning in a farm field.
Tibbetts, a 20-year-old rising sophomore at the University of Iowa, disappeared the evening of July 18 while jogging in the rural farming town of Brooklyn.
Rivera told authorities he saw Tibbetts jogging and got out of his car and ran alongside of her.
Rivera claimed Tibbetts grabbed her phone and said, “I’m gonna call the police,” according to an arrest affidavit.
Rivera told authorities he then panicked, got mad and “blocked” his “memory,” and didn’t remember anything after that until he reached an intersection, according to the affidavit.

“Appropriate healthcare financing is a means to ensure adequate funds for health care, provide equitable access to all population groups and reduce financial barriers to utilize health services”
Healthcare financing deals with generation, allocation and use of financial resources in the health system. Globally it has become increasingly recognized as an area of major policy relevance to achieve Universal Health Coverage (UHC). Understanding the country's healthcare financing system allows to recognize current finances available for health, ways to raise more funds for health, mechanisms to efficiently and equitably allocate, purchase and spend finances to improve access to health services and reduce out of pocket expenditures that lead to catastrophe and impoverishment.
In India several Union and State level policy interventions in the recent past were designed and implemented to address gaps/challenges in healthcare financing. The National Health Mission, Rashtriya Swasthya Bima Yojana, State financed health insurance schemes, Public Private Partnerships in operating ambulances etc. were all interventions in this direction. Further the National Health Policy 2017, gives impetus to increasing government finances to health, better utilization of existing resources to achieve better health outcomes, improving financial protection and strategically purchasing from the not for profit and private sector.
Under this realm, the Healthcare Financing Division supports evidence based policy making and implementation support to Union and State governments in the area of healthcare financing with a focus on:
Health Accounts: This division is the National Health Accounts Technical Secretariat (NHATS) with a mandate to institutionalize Health Accounts in India.NHATS conducts periodic National and State Health Accounts using a global standard framework System of Health Accounts 2011(SHA 2011) contextualized to Indian/ State Health Systems. This allows to track the total health sector expenditures in the country by source, schemes, providers and functions. NHATS builds capacity at the national and state level for generating NHA by training individuals and institutions.It developed a strong network of institutions and organizations at state level across the country.
Report and monitor health financing indicators to achieve targets of National Health Policy 2017, Sustainable Development Goals and Universal Health Coverage. Collect data from primary / secondary sources, data validation, analysis and presentation of indicators on health expenditures and indicators for financial risk protection.
Policy inputs on allocation of resources, design of performance based incentives, health insurance, strategic purchasing of healthcare services, public private partnerships etc.

Preplanning. The most thoughtful gift.
It’s a subject most of us would rather avoid, but the fact is that death is life’s one and only inevitable event. Since we plan for so many other things in our lives, it just makes sense to plan for this.
There are so many reasons to preplan. First, and most important, when your arrangements are made in advance, you protect your family from dealing with difficult decisions at a most stressful time. And, you protect them from possible unexpected expenses, as well.
Call us for a free, consultation, with no obligation. We’ll help you select exactly the type of funeral service that is most appropriate for you, at the price that is most comfortable. You’ll make your decisions at your leisure, and we will record them, so you receive every service you specify. And, when you pre-pay, your costs are locked in and guaranteed.
Contact us soon for personal, private assistance with your funeral preplanning arrangements. We’ll show you the choices that make a funeral meaningful, dignified, and above all, personal.
Funeral Questions
Preplanning. For peace of mind.
Can a deceased body be driven across state lines?
Yes, but some states may require embalming and/or permits prior to transfer.
Can a memorial service include personal mementos, pictures, etc.?
Can a minister be involved in a memorial service?
Yes they can
Can arrangements be made on the internet?
Forms may need to be signed but most arrangements can be done.
Can cremated remains be buried in a family estate?
The disposition of cremated remains is typically based on three factors, the wishes of the deceased, the needs of the survivors and budget. Cremated remains can be buried in a cemetery, placed in a columbarium niche, kept at home, scattered on private property or scattered at least 3-miles off shore. Check with us for laws specific to our state.
Can elements get inside the casket?
Caskets are available with varying amounts of protection. In addition, the utilization of a burial vault provides another layer of protection against the elements. No matter what protection, the body is going to naturally deteriorate.
Can my family change my pre-arrangements?
Yes. The law goes with the living so the family can change your pre-arrangements. However, in some states, there is documentation that can be signed disallowing changes to preplanning.
Can the body be present at a funeral with cremation?
Probably the biggest misconception about cremation is that there can be no funeral if cremation is chosen. Nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, most people choosing cremation prefer to have a funeral with cremation afterwards. Many experts in the field of psychology recommend a funeral service as a way of bringing closure to a life lived. They feel the process helps loved ones move ahead with their lives following a loss.
Can the funeral director prearrange the cemetery?
Yes, funeral directors typically have working relationships with most of their local cemeteries and can take care of all the arrangements for you.
Can there be a funeral with cremation?
Yes, based on the needs of the family. A family can decide where in the funeral process they want the cremation to occur. Cremation can occur immediately with no visitation, after a private visitation, or after a traditional visitation. Some state laws typically dictate a waiting period before cremation can occur. During this time, very close family and friends often request a final viewing. This can be arranged through the funeral director. The memorial service is a gathering which differs from a funeral only in that the body is not present. Clergy may be present to contribute support from the Scriptures if requested.
Can you be cremated and go to a federal cemetery?
Yes. A very common disposition choice for cremated remains is burial, also known as interment. In this way, family members can be placed to rest near one another even if another family member has not chosen cremation. The grave site provides a permanent location to visit on important occasions such as anniversaries and holidays. Burial can be in a cemetery plot, urn garden or private crypt. A columbarium niche is a similar choice for the person preferring cremation. The selected niche is identified with a nameplate listing dates of birth and death. The columbarium offers families a place to visit and remember on special holidays and other important times.
Can you make prearrangments without pre-payment?
There is generally no charge for making prearrangements, and many families simply prefer to record this vital information for future use.
Can you prearrange a cremation?
Making your decisions in advance will help assure your wishes will be carried out following death. It is not necessary, but it is preferred by many.
Do you need a casket for a cremation?
When there is a funeral, a container is required to transport the deceased to the crematory. Many crematories require a rigid container. Unique casket designs, cremation containers, and floral tributes also allow family members a tangible way to express their care while adding beauty to the ceremony. Your funeral director will explain your various casket and cremation container options for use in a funeral or memorial service.
Does the government pay for cremation?
No. In most cases the typical veteran funeral includes a Veteran marker, a vault, an American flag and a space in a Veteran’s cemetery, and the opening of the grave. Funeral benefits vary depending on the rank and other variables.
For a Catholic funeral, does the body go to the church first?
Material from the Vatican indicates that the church prefers "that the body of the deceased be present for the funeral rites." It stresses that the cremated remains are to be treated with respect and should be either entombed or buried in a grave. They believe that scattering at sea, from air or ground, or kept at home are not reverent disposition. It is in the Catholic tradition to have bodies buried in consecrated grounds.
How can you determine who owns a funeral home?
Today, as in many industries, the funeral profession has seen the emergence of national, and even international funeral service conglomerates. But unlike other industries, these conglomerates rarely promote their presence. Often, there isn't even a name change. That can make it difficult for you, as a consumer, to easily tell the conglomerate-owned funeral firms from a family-owned firm. The best way is to simply ask the firm.
How long does it take to ship a body?
Depending on where the death occurs will depend on how long the process will take. If a death occurs abroad, this process may take a few weeks, or even longer, depending on in which country the death occurred. However, the funeral home will do everything possible to expedite the process.
How much do funerals cost?
Your personal requirements and preferences might make the cost higher than average or lower. The total cost of a funeral is determined by three main considerations: selecting your services, considering everything that makes your service unique, and the advantages of preplanning. However the average cost of a funeral according to the NFDA's 2003 General Price List survey is $5,000-$6,000 for an adult funeral. This includes a professional service charge, transfer of remains, embalming, other preparation, use of viewing facilities, use of facilities for ceremony, hearse, limousine, and casket. The casket included in this price is an 18-gauge steel casket with velvet interior which may or may not be the most common casket chose. Vault, cemetery and monument charges are additional. (Source: 2003 NFDA Survey of Funeral Home Operations.)
How much does a burial vault cost?
Burial vaults/grave liners usually range in price from $500 to $7000.
How much does the Social Security pay for funeral expenses?
Upon death, dependents and survivors may be eligible for certain benefits such as Death Payments, Survivor's Benefits and Medicare. Qualifications depend on age, marital status, number of dependents involved and if employment was under Social Security. Your Social Security account should be verified periodically to be sure contributions are properly posted. All benefits must be applied for; payment is not automatic. Since qualifications vary, we recommend discussing your particular situation with us personally.
How much does the Veterans Administration (VA) pay for funeral expenses?
There are many misconceptions regarding Veterans' death benefits. Honorably discharged veterans may qualify for cemetery plot and burial allowances, headstone, and burial flag, as well as a pension for survivors. These benefits may affect decisions about funeral arrangments. Because qualifications and benefits vary, we recommend a personal review of your situation.
How much is a grave monument?
The cost of a grave marker varies depending on the size, materials used and the amount of detail involved.
If I buy a good casket, do I have to have a vault?
Though not required by law in all states, many cemeteries do require an outside container such as a burial vault. Check with the funeral director for details in your area.
If the body is to be cremated, does it have to be embalmed?
Embalming is not required if you select a cremation service without a public viewing/visitation.
Is a burial vault necessary?
Is cremation an option for Catholics?
The Vatican now permits funerals in the United States to have Masses with cremated remains present in a "worthy vessel" placed on a table and must be covered with a pall. Words said in a blessing or dissmissal are changed from "body" to "earthly remains."
Is embalming required?
Embalming is required if there is going to be a public viewing. However, even in cases where no viewing is planned, most states require embalming when death was caused by a reportable contagious disease or when transferring of the deceased occurs from one state to another. Also, in a few states, if the final disposition is not determined within 48 hours after the death, then the funeral director may determine to embalm the body using their discretion.
Is it better to place the money in a bank trust or insurance policy?
Though not a requirement, you may wish to invest in a funeral trust account or final expense insurance policy when making funeral arrangements. While most of us have life insurance or funds reserved for retirement, these are intended for the living, not to meet the cost of a funeral. In most situations, funds invested today will be sufficient to cover the total cost of the funeral at time of need. The interest earned by the account or policy will help to offset the effects of inflation. Government regulations safeguard your investment so that funds will always be available for your family's use.
What does embalming do?
It is defined as the preservation, disinfection, and restoration of the body. In many cases, embalming restores the deceased’s appearance to one reflective of how they appeared in life.
What does the funeral director do?
Funeral directors serve as administrators and care givers. They make all the arrangements for the transportation of the deceased, see that the choices of the family regarding the funeral and final disposition of they body are followed through, and complete all of the necessary paperwork. As care givers, they are available to the family and friends as listeners, advisors, and supporters. With their experience serving others, they have the knowledge necessary to answer questions about grief, wisdom to help those who are having difficulty dealing with the loss, and can recommend other professional help if needed. Many can offer support groups to the family which take place either in the community or in the funeral home.
What funeral decisions can be made in advance?
All arrangements for services including financial decisions
What happens if the death occurs outside the United States?
If a family member dies while outside the United States, the U.S. Embassy will come to your assistance. An Embassy official in the country where the death occurred will be contacted, and he or she will contact the State Department in Washington, D.C., to notify next of kin.
What happens to the money if the funeral home goes out of business?
You can be assured your funds are protected by state and federal regulations regardless of the operation at the funeral home. However, the funeral home should have a long-standing reputation and be committed to continuing to serve the many families who have placed their trust in them.
What if a death occurs in the armed forces?
When a person dies while serving in the Armed Forces, the U.S. Government will prepare and casket the body, pay transfer costs to return the body to the place of burial, and provide many other benefits, including an escort, a uniform and flag, plus an allowance to help with funeral and burial services. The funeral home can coordinate directly with the government, and also advise you about any allowance due you. Members of the armed forces and their spouse are entitled to burial in a cemetery owned and operated by the federal government.
What if I make pre-arrangements in one state and die in another?
If you are traveling or visiting another city when death occurs, your survivors should contact the hometown funeral home immediately. Your funeral director will make the necessary arrangements with a funeral home in that location to assist with transfer.
What if my family is not happy with the funeral home's services?
If the funeral home defaults on any services, payment can be withheld until resolution.
What if the funeral home does not meet the conditions of the prearrangment?
If the funeral home does not meet the conditions of the pre-arrangement, the family can withold payment.
What is a burial vault, and what does it do?
The function of a burial vault is to protect the casketed body from the earth's elements. As time goes on, the ground settles over a grave. A burial vault will serve two purposes, to protect the integrity of the casket and to prevent the ground from settling and sinking. A vault also protects the ground from settling due to the great weight and impact of heavy cemetery maintenance equipment passing over the grave. The burial vault is one of the strongest, most lasting means of protection and long term security.
What is a committal service?
A committal service commends the body of the deceased to the gravesite, crypt or columbarium niche and a prayer may be said at the grave at the conclusion of the funeral.
What is a graveside service?
A graveside service is a service held at the site of burial. In most cases, the casket or urn is present. Friends and family gather for the service, a eulogy may be delivered and the service is concluded with a committal.
A memorial service is a service where there are no casketed remains, but in some cases an urn may be present. Memorial services are usually held in the funeral home or a church, but can also be arranged at a location meaningful to the family.
What is scattering?
Scattering of cremated remains can represent a permanent oneness with an important place. Scattering in a river, lake or at sea, over mountains, farms, even golf courses is not uncommon provided a permit can be secured. Scattering is regulated by state law. Some funeral homes can coordinate the scattering and advise you of any local ordinances prohibiting scattering. Many cemeteries offer "scattering gardens" with the added benefit of memorialization. A scattering urn is especially designed to hold the cremated remains until the scattering ceremony and as a memento or keepsake afterwards. Be sure to consult your clergy as some religions will permit cremation but not allow scattering.
What is the cost of pre-arrangement services?
There is no cost to pre-plan a funeral.
What is the difference between a corporate funeral home and a family-owned firm?
Large corporations answer to shareholders. In a family-owned company, there is no pressure from the corporate headquarters to increase profits. Generally family-owned firms have lived in the community for years. On the other hand, the staff and management assigned to a funeral home by a national company may be from another area. And that can create a lack of awareness and sometimes disappointment when expectations are not met.
What is the urn for?
Most often the cremated remains are present during the service in an urn. Urns come in many styles and reflect varied artistic forms. With so many to choose from, families can find something reflective of their lifestyle, faith or beliefs. Because the urn is an attractive art form, it is not uncommon for a family member or friend to retain the cremated remains as a cherished possession. But for many, a permanent placement at another location is more appropriate. Urn selection is often based on the needs and beliefs of the family and their plans for final disposition.
Where does the prepaid money go? Where is it held?
The money paid when pre-planning a funeral is held in one of two places. In many cases a trust is set up at a bank, either in the individuals name or in some states, in the name of the funeral home, with the individual designated as a sub-account. The second option is for the family to purchase an insurance policy specific to the exact cost of the funeral expenses. This policy is typically a “Limited pay, increasing death benefit, whole life,� policy. There are specific benefits to each of these funding vehicle options. * Your funeral director can provide you with more details. In either case, a death certificate must be presented in order for the funds to be released to the funeral home.
Who do you call when death occurs out of town?
When death occurs away from home, the funeral home serves as both your advisor and agent, working with other professionals long-distance, and coordinating the many services required.
Why do people choose burial versus cremation?
An individual’s choice of burial over cremation is often based on family traditions and/or family beliefs. Often times, this choice is directly related to one’s religion.
Why is it better to pre-pay funeral services?
When asked, the most often given reason by consumers for pre-paying funeral expenses is the peace of mind in knowing family members will not be inconvenienced with funeral costs at an already difficult time. It is impossible to project the cost of a funeral in the future, and sometimes the actual cost at the time of death may exceed the amount set aside. When this occurs, the funeral home will offer surviving family members the option of paying the difference, or selecting low priced merchandise such as a casket, vault, flowers, etc.
Why should I pre-arrange my funeral? Are there any benefits?
Now more than ever, it is important to plan ahead. Our way of life is more complicated. Family members often live in different states, dealing with government agencies can be frustrating, and the impact of inflation is felt by every household. Family members making funeral arrangements immediately following a death often are confused and upset. Many times, they do not have the information needed to claim benefits. Each year millions of dollars in government and insurance benefits go unclaimed. Planning ahead prevents emotional overspending and protects your family's interests.
We apologize if this response does not satisfactorily answer your specific question. Please reword your question or contact us to speak directly to one of our funeral service professionals.

Kelly, James (1844–1904)
We regret having to record the death of Mr. James Kelly, the well-known grazier and farmer of Cambusdoon, Yerong Creek. The sad event occurred on Tuesday and could not be said to be wholly unexpected, as the deceased gentleman had been ailing for a considerable time. Latterly he was attended by Dr. Cameron, of Henty, and had also the assiduous care of a trained nurse (Miss E. Bellair, of Wagga) for some months. During his long illness he rallied on more than one occasion, thus temporarily raising the hope of his family, but it was seen latterly that permanent recovery could not be looked for. On Tuesday morning, it was evident that the end was rapidly approaching, and before his death occurred he was surrounded by all the members of his family at present at Cambusdoon. Mr. Kelly was one of the most successful settlers in this part of Riverina, and was highly respected by the whole community. For years he acted as a member of the M. P. and A. Committee, and was elected to the Stock and Pastures Board when that body was called into existence. He was a thoroughly practical farmer and grazier, and not withstanding the bad seasons experienced for four or five years, he was never heard to complain much of his losses. Of a kindly disposition; he was always willing to lend a helping hand when help was needed and had earned the good wishes of the residents over an extensive area of country. In all business transactions he bore the repute of being in the highest degree straightforward and honorable.
Born at Girvan, Scotland, he came to Australia at the age of 21, and first settled in Kapunda, South Australia, where he spent 16 years. On leaving that district he came to New South Wales direct, and took up his abode at Cambusdoon, where he has resided for the past 25 years until his death. He has left four sons and six daughters, among whom are Mrs. Roland Love, of Yerong Creek, and Mrs. C. Adams, of Dubbo. His remains, which were encased in a handsome silver mounted coffin and interred yesterday in the Presbyterian portion of the Yerong Cemetery, the pall bearers being Messrs. James Allen, and W. Snodgrass, and J. Hillam, brothers in-law of the deceased gentleman. Messrs. G. Plunkett, Gus Cox, C. R. Smith, and W. Hovenden carried the coffin from the hearse to the grave. The funeral was largely attended, over 30 vehicles and a number of horsemen forming the cortege. The funeral arrangements were in the hands of Mr. J. McIntosh, of Wagga.

By T. C. BUCHANAN
In 1861 Mr John Buchanan, his wife and two children, Andrew and Jean arrived in New Zealand from Glasgow, Scotland and he established himself in Auckland as a merchant. In 1870 he bought land along the Waihou river at Tirohia and for a time lived at "Killearn" Mill Road before purchasing the property on Waihi Road, Paeroa. The materials for the old homestead which some may remember were purchased from Bagnall's mill Turua and the lining boards under the scrim were papered with newspapers, a few being printed in Maori. This property was named "Kelvin Hill". At that time the family had grown to five sons and two daughters.
The youngest son, George Buchanan was born at Avondale on 31st December, 1872 and was educated at Auckland Grammar School and the Domain Grammar School. Upon leaving he entered the law office of Messrs Russell & Campbell with the intention of making law his career but the call of the land was too great and when quite a young man he came to Paeroa to look after his father's farm on Waihi Road. Karangahake mining ventures were in their hey day and plenty of workwas available. George worked for a time with the gang of men who put the overhead wires into the Crown mine.
It was while he was at Paeroa, he met and married Miss Annie Crawford who was Infant Mistress at the Paeroa School. The Thomas Crawford family came to New Zealand in 1875 from Ulster in the "S.S.Carisbrook Castle" and were among the settlers who came to Kati Kati under George Vesey Stuart's scheme. By this time the family had moved to Maratoto and George Buchanan told many tales of his horse-riding trips there during his courting days. When Miss Crawford taught at Paeroa School Mr Walter Sullivan was Headmaster and Miss Minnie Shaw was a pupil Teacher. Mrs J.W. Silcock (nee Rae Edwards) and her brother the late Mr Edwin Edwards were among her pupils at that time.
Mr & Mrs George Buchanan were married in 1898 and lived first at Wharepoa, then the Thames Road property was bought opposite the Ohinemuri Jockey Club's racecourse and now owned by Mr Moe Russek. For some four years they lived at Netherton.
After his wife's death in 1902 Mr John Buchanan returned to Auckland and the elder daughter, Mrs Jean Hanna lived at "Kelvin Hill" and her brother William Buchanan farmed the bush and cultivated his vineyard which became such a favourite place for afternoon walks and picnics for many years.
Mr Young, an engineer rented "Kelvin Hill" for a time until in 1914 Mr and Mrs George Buchanan came to make their home there and it was there they brought up their nine children. What fun and love and laughter there was through the years. It was surely one of the happiest homes in the district. The large old house was always full of visitors. There was tennis and riding and always the bush to walk to where the only restriction on the family in the grape season was that they must not eat a whole bunch of grapes and not pick off odd ones. The parties at "Kelvin Hill" were a delight to all as there was lots of room for dancing and games in the big central hall and wide verandahs. The original old house was replaced by the present one in 1937.
Soon after settling at "Kelvin Hill" George Buchanan purchased his first pedigree Jerseys, three heifers and a bull which began the Kelvin Jersey Stud which was to become such a big interest in his life for many years. This interest was shared by his brother, Andrew who compiled the first copies of the N.Z. Jersey Breeders Stud books and owned "Jersey Holme" at Palmerston North.
Throughout a large part of his life Mr George Buchanan was an active member of the Agricultural and Pastoral Assn. and of co-operative companies. The fine position attained by the Thames Valley Dairy Co. Ltd., Paeroa was largely due to his enthusiasm and sound judgment. In 1914 he was elected Chairman of the Board of Directors of the above company which position he held until the amalgamation of the Thames Valley Dairy Co, Ltd. with the N.Z. Co-op. Dairy Co, Ltd. at Hamilton. For 23 years he was a Director of the N.Z. Co-op. Dairy Co. Ltd. retiring in 1935. Prior to the amalgamation of these companies it was at the instigation of Mr Buchanan that the Thames Valley Dairy Finance Co. was formed which gave great assistance to the farmers for the development of the district. He was well known as a jersey breeder and exhibited his stock in many shows in the South Auckland area, his long service to the industry being recognised by his being elected a Life Member of the Thames Valley Jersey Breeders Club at Paeroa.
Sincere service to his religion occupied a large part of the life of Mr Buchanan who was an Elder in St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church, Paeroa for forty five years also acting as a lay preacher, Sunday School Superintendent and Presbytery representative. As a young man he was keenly interested in yachting and in later years in shooting and fishing. Always interested in community organisations he was a member of the Paeroa Chamber of Commerce, Lodge Ohinemuri and the Acclimatisation Society, and during World War Two of the Manpower Committee. For many years he acted as Government Valuer in Waihi and Hauraki Plains districts, particularly in the opening up of the Plains for settlement. Despite his many activities his jovial manner and sense of humour endeared him to both young and old.
Mr & Mrs Buchanan celebrated their Golden Wedding on 13th January, 1948 with a banquet at "Kelvin Hill" at which the surviving members of their families, their children, and grand children were present. Throughout the years their greatest joy was in sitting on the front porch in the Summer evenings watching their children and grand children at play in the peaceful scene before them.
Mrs Buchanan died on 9th September 1948 while Mr Buchanan survived her until 7th May, 1950.
The children were: Lylie (Mrs D.N. Pryor) Bayswater, Auckland; Jean (Mrs J.H. Henderson) Ngahinepouri, Hamilton; John, Komata Paeroa; Joy (Mrs A.R. Tubman) Hamilton; Ena (Miss T.C. Buchanan) "Kelvin Hill" Paeroa; Bruce, Awaiti, Paeroa; Lola (Mrs R.E. Tye) Ngatea; and the late Greta (Mrs A.E. Jones) and Marjory (Mrs R. Clark). There are twenty eight grand children.

Fourteen Things to Watch in Pac-12 Conference Play
January 2, 2014 Pac-12Askia Booker, Ben Carter, Craig Robinson, Davonte Lacy, Delon Wright, Gabe York, Jabari Bird, Jahii Carson, Jernard Jarreau, Joseph Young, Josh Scott, Ken Bone, Las Vegas, Mike Montgomery, Pac-12 Tournament, Perris Blackwell, Richard Solomon, Ricky Kreklow, Tad Boyleawbutler
Conference play will tip tonight. That’s a fun fact to let sink and now’s a good time to let your loved ones know that Thursdays and Saturdays are booked (and the occasional Wednesday. And the occasional Friday. And the occasional Sunday. And all of March). I love conference play because it means something. A “good win” doesn’t just carry a nice perception, it moves you up the ladder. And we know that college basketball is all about getting to the top of ladders. With scissors.
Fourteen things to watch in this 2014 Pac-12 season:
The Games and Stories – An elementary opening point for a ‘must watch’ list, but as we head into this most anticipated of Pac-12 conference seasons, I am acutely aware that I don’t want to watch Southern University play a ton of games. I’m not that stoked on seeing Arkansas-Pine Bluff, Weber State, or Evergreen State (St. Katherine, for that matter). And I mean no offense. I just don’t know them from Adam and I want the drama. I don’t care if UW and WSU rate outside the top-100 on KenPom. That’s the damn Apple Cup. USC is the 4th worst team remaining on UCLA’s schedule. BUT THEY’RE THE ONLY SCHOOL YAPPING AT UCLA. Suddenly we’re privy to subtext that wasn’t there when the opponents were [Directional] State Tech. Arizona is the top team, but Spencer Dinwiddie has already said he thinks his team is the cream of the crop. I have running bets about Arizona V. Oregon and I love the Arizona-Washington rivalry. Last time Cal and Stanford faced off, STANFORD’S ENTIRE ASSISTANT COACHING STAFF WAS EJECTED. Prior to last season, there hadn’t been an in-conference matchup of ranked teams since 2011. This year we’ve already got one in the first week (#10 Oregon @ #20 Colorado)…with more to follow! It’s conference time.
Ben Carter – He has just three games under his belt (flipping shoe swag) and really just one of consequence. In that game – against BYU – he managed 4 points, 4 boards, 3 assists. Not quite Arsalan Kazemi yet not even close, either. But he’s long been considered a budding piece of what Dana Altman is trying to accomplish. And now’s the time. From a personnel standpoint, the Ducks can’t quite hit the boards the way they used to. Or rather, the way Tony Woods and Kazemi did. They’ve shifted from a top 10 defense to a top 10 offense. The best offensive team Dana Altman has ever coached. As we move forward, the emergence of a Robin to Mike Moser’s Batman could greatly benefit the Ducks.
DaVonte Lacy – There aren’t going to be many reasons to watch Washington State so I present this guy:
Washington’s Front Court… amongst so many other things in Seattle – Maybe there isn’t much to watch here as this team has become decimated through recruiting failures and injury (RIP Jernard Jarreau). Perris Blackwell is a fine player, but he’s one man. This is Romar’s worst defensive team since – well it’s literally the worst defense he’s ever coached. They rank 287th in defensive efficiency giving up 1.09 points per possession. Woof. Teams are shooting a 54% eFG against them, otherwise known as 318th best nationally. Double Woof. And that front court that doesn’t necessarily exist? Allowing 70% shooting at the rim. Teams are shooting 56% from 2-point range and I could go on but I won’t because as the Dawgs allow more and more points it raises more and more questions I don’t want to discuss about the health of Husky Hoops. So why watch? Because it could be something of a last hoorah.
Oregon’s SOS – It has to improve. Or perhaps better said: it’s going to. They’ll play all of Arizona (State and the good guys) and UCLA twice while only escaping a visit from Colorado. Amongst KenPom’s top-25 teams, the Ducks have the 5th easiest schedule. Completely to their credit, they’ve handled that schedule. But as the going gets tough we’ll get to see whether or not this team will Win the Day.
Cal’s Injury Bug – First they dropped two tough games without Richard Solomon in the lineup at the Maui Invitational. Then Kreklow and Bird sustained injuries and it’s pretty wide open as to when either of these two is coming back. You don’t need me to tell you that’s not good. I love Bird’s skill set and he carried the Bears through a few games earlier this year. They’ll now rely even more heavily on seniors Cobbs and Solomon as well as soph Ty Wallace and junior David Kravish. That’s a nice foursome, but nothing close to what this team is with Ricky and Jabari. Will their absence cost the Bears a chance to dance?
The POY Race – I wrote really early in the year about this because why not? This is going to shake out to be a really great race because there are so many players that will be worthy of the title for so many different reasons. From Joseph Young who gets points like a Fuel Band to Kyle Anderson who does everything like a Swiss Knife, how will voters (Pac-12 coaches) evaluate? Value (Nick Johnson, Anderson, Delon Wright, Mike Moser)? Skill (Young, Jahii Carson, Jordan Adams)? Whatever the case, it’s not going to be Jorge Gutierrez.
Arizona’s Depth – Or lack thereof. They’re a damn talented team who then ranks 312th in percentage of bench minutes. The Pac-12 season is a grind and getting into the Yorks, Pitts’, and Korcheks of this lineup could help alleviate some of stress on the core-six. But it’s a really good core-six. One thing I’ve long been interested in – ever since he started the first game of the year – is the development of Gabe York. He wasn’t expected to be getting much tick – his defense a liability and a thorn in Miller’s side. But he’s shown some ability to defend but it’s his shooting ability (42% 3FG%) that I believe could make Arizona the hands down favorite to win this whole damn thing. But he’s not quite there yet. Conference play will be his chance to cut his teeth in some big games.
Hot Seats – I hate this topic but it’s going to come up and as a given team maybe does worse than we might expect, there could be some seats warming up all over the conference. The influx of coaching talent across both football and basketball in the past 3 years has been impressive and if you’re not keeping up with the Joneses then you’re just losing sporting events. There are going to be a few ADs with tough decisions in the coming months. You already know which ones they are and so do they.
Dunks –
Delon Wright and the Scorin’ Utes – Larry K’s team has exceeded the 120-point mark twice this season and they’re third in the nation in points per game (87.4). They’ve also played nothing short of a middle school schedule but that’s a whole different topic. Delon Wright has been an incredible addition to this team. He’s doing almost everything for them: 15/7/6, 138.3 ORtg. The obvious here is that I’m intrigued to see how he fairs against better competition; which begins tonight as he and the Utes host #10 Oregon and all of the guard talent in the world. The other thing to note about Utah here is that they have the fifth highest eFG% in the nation. Again, the schedule stuff, but at a certain point we have to appreciate that what Larry K’s team is doing is simply efficient. Excited to see how it translates. They’re 11-1.
Jahii Carson – Because he’s Jahii Carson.
#20 Colorado – The lede here is that they’re ranked and Tad’s making a name of this program and Spencer Dinwiddie is likely league-bound and then something else about Askia Booker putting up shots like a Tri-Delt. It’s all true. But let’s take a moment to think about Josh “Jelly” Scott as we head to conference play. The guard play in this conference is obscene. The Arizona bigs have been getting their love but how about Scott? Here are his numbers in Colorado’s last four games: 15 points and 11 boards. That’s a lot of everything you’d want from your big. He takes just 7 shots per game to get his points, which is grossly efficient. And this is the point in the blurb that I mention his free throw rate: 88.2. That’s a 147% increase over last season’s FTRate. He’s drawing greater than 6 fouls per forty minutes. Once perceived as soft, he’s banging his way to the free throw line and offensive success. Such a post asset is going to bode well for the Buffs as we make our way towards March.
Vegas – Things happen there that should stay there. You know this and I know this and the Vegas travel bureau markets that. Certain things should stay there including the Pac-12 tournament. This will be year two of the three year contract that I fully expect to be renewed. But I don’t expect many teams to be sticking around Vegas. What I mean is I think there’s going to be a hearty number (seven) of Pac-12 teams leaving Vegas for the big dance. I also think this Pac-12 tourney is going to be as fun as it gets. Hoops on basketball on baskethoops.
LET THEM EAT CAKE:
Getting to know Cal: A balancing act
October 30, 2013 CaliforniaDavid Kravish, Haas Pavilion, Justin Cobbs, Mike Montgomery, Richard Solomon, Ricky Kreklow, Tryone Wallaceawbutler
Cal has made the most buzz in their off-season not necessarily surrounding anything they’ve done. To address what they’ve done is to tell you they’ve compiled a sound team with compelling pieces up and down the roster. They’re maybe not deep but they’re balanced. I like Cal’s roster. But that’s maybe not why you’ve heard about them. No, you might’ve heard that Dough Gottlieb of CBS-lore has picked Cal as his 10th best team in the nation. Rush the Court asked how and I’m curious, too. But ultimately, that’s Doug’s prerogative and I don’t care that much. He’s the paid contrarian and I’m not even about to mention his brother being on Cal’s staff – though I just did. So with that out of the way, we’ll focus on whether these Bears can replace Allen Crabbe, the reigning POY; if balanced is enough; whether Richard Solomon can make the jump.
Why I love them: That balance I’ve been talking about? I’m really high on it and what’s more is they’ve got veterans in the right places and particularly in the two most important. You know about Mike Montgomery so allow me to get to the point: Justin Cobbs (see what I did there?!). He’s hit big shots and played in big games. He’s a senior at the most critical position in college basketball and one cannot begrudge the Bears that. It is their most endearing quality. But one senior does not a team make. No, filling out their back court is the highly touted Jabari Bird for whom Monty has been trying to taper expectations, “I don’t want to put expectations on Jabari. I want him to develop, I want him to learn as a freshman. Certainly coming in with the ability he has is going to give him a great opportunity, but the expectations is that he has a great freshman year and he helps us win basketball games.” Sure, Monty’s got a fine freshmen, but one freshman does not a team make (with apologies to ‘Melo). I’m not about to carry on with the different components that alone do not make up a team, but I will tell you that I’m a big Ty Wallace fan. He had a good freshman campaign and – if my calculations from a year ago stand true – he projects to have a much improved sophomore effort. The one additional thing that’s also got me high on this team is who Richard Solomon might become. He’s athletic and lengthy and we find him in his final season at Berkeley. How is he going to handle that urgency? If he manages to channel it into continued rebounding success (high OR and DR rates) and improved offensive output (just 55th in the conference in ORtg) then the Bears would seem to have further filled out an already nice lineup.
Why I hate them: OK so I like Richard Solomon. I want to believe that he’s going to have a big senior year – a fact I plan to expand upon in a later post. But if we’re looking at this team and its front court, we’re indeed left with Solomon and David Kravish. Sound players but with the body of work we’ve previously been presented with, I’m not about to consider this a Pac-12 contending front court. They’ve lost the Thurmanator who gave them big minutes when Solomon was in foul trouble (ranked 3rd to last in fouls committed/40 minutes) and I don’t foresee Kameron Rooks or Roger Moute a Bidias soon jumping into significant roles. Cobbs, Bird, Kreklow, and Wallace are going to win this team plenty of ball games, but it’s Solomon and Kravish who could help differentiate them.
Stat you need to know:
Percentage and number of three pointers that Ty Wallace hit last season for the Pac-12’s worst three point shooting team. I love Ty Wallace’s game but he needs to learn that his game isn’t to be firing from deep. In fact, see Exhibit Quotable…
Quotable:
Outlook: Maybe I don’t love this Bears team but there’s plenty here to like. I’ve discussed balance. That can cause problems for people; as does a Mike Montgomery defense. The Bears have had a top 50 defense in each of the last three seasons under Monty and project to have the 29th best this year per KenPom. Speaking of which, it might be worth noting that Ken rates Cal as the fourth best Pac-12 team and 36th in the nation. A season ago they wrapped the year rated 56th OR, twenty spots lower than they currently project. By my amateur math, this would suggest that the Bears are improved despite the loss of Crabbe. But enough quantitative predictions. I think Cobbs is senior enough to Dance with help from Bird and a much improved Ty Wallace (might be my favorite player in the league). And yes, in my final sentences, I’ll acknowledge that Cobbs suffered a foot injury. I don’t think this will prove a major set back. He ain’t missin much. Look at how cool new Haas is:

Obama and Biden Blast EHR Vendors for Data Blocking
Roger A. MaduroAs they are winding their terms in office, President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden dropped a stink bomb on the health IT industry. Speaking at different events on Friday, January 6th, the President and Vice President both criticized proprietary electronic health record (EHR) vendors as the primary obstacle to the success of their administration’s health care strategy. This is the highest level acknowledgment so far of the serious impact that “lock-in” EHR software vendors are having on America’s medical infrastructure and the ability of physicians to provide quality medical care to their patients.
This article will tie in the comments of the outgoing President and Vice President with the history behind the adoption of EHRs in the United States and the forces within both industry and government that distorted that adoption toward systems that don’t share data well (interoperate) and that degrade the working experience for clinicians. We’ll also look at the history that could have been--an open source initiative squelched by EHR vendors--and at prospects for Congress and the new Administration to put EHR adoption onto the right track.
President Obama made his statements during an interview with Vox’s Ezra Klein and Sarah Kliff. Politico reporter Arthur Allen writes in the January 9 issue of Politico’s Morning eHealth newsletter.
Allen states:
For the first time since the gods called this newsletter into existence, President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden both talked on the same day about health IT. Both of them complained about the failures of the meaningful use program, ruing what they see as the insufficient progress toward more efficiency and better care that EHRs seemed to promise when the administration signed the HITECH Act into law at the other end of their double term. "We put a big slug of money into encouraging people to digitalize, catch up with the rest of the world here," Obama said in an interview with Vox [the health IT part starts around 49:40] Friday. "It's proven to be harder than we expected. Partly because everyone has different systems, they don't all talk to each other,” he said. “It’s decentralized and everyone has different systems.” (Maybe everyone should have used VistA)? But the departing No. 44 was optimistic. “Over time it’s going to get better because every other part of our lives has become paperless,” he said.
Vox’s Ezra Klein and Sarah Kliff interview President Barak Obama
Allen also reported on the comments made by Vice President Biden to the press before the start of a no-holds-barred, several-hour meeting with the heads of all the major proprietary EHR companies. Biden was very passionate in his discussion with the press about his own personal experience with health IT. He said, “the Act also codified some of the goals we have been working toward during the year with health IT...to give patients the ability to access, to easily share, and to own their own health records.” Biden then said, “I was stunned when my son, for a year, was battling glioblastoma. We could not get his medical records. I am the Vice President of the United States...I couldn’t get his health records...it was an absolute nightmare. Ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous we are in those circumstances…”
As Allen reports:
Biden, being Biden, was much blunter than his boss. “You guys in the health care industry are the least sharing people in the world,” he said before a two-hour meeting that was part of his cancer moonshot initiative. Then Biden threatened — we think he was joking — to lock Epic CEO Judy Faulkner and the 20 or so other EHR billionaires and millionaires into the room until they got his message. “I have Secret Service on the other side, and we’re not going to get out till we have some answers,” he said. “You think I’m joking. I’m deadly earnest and deadly frustrated as a lot of you are.” Information access means a lot to Biden, who like millions of caregivers before him struggled with that while seeking to cure his son, Beau, who died of brain cancer in 2015. A few weeks ago Obama signed the 21st Century Cures Act, which gives HHS the ability to fine information blockers up to $1 million for each violation. It also defines interoperability as the ability of patients to have complete access to their records.
The statements by President Obama, and later in the day by Vice President Biden, were so shocking that, Sarah Kliff, one of the Vox reporters that interviewed Obama, wrote an article in Vox titled “Obama’s surprising answer on which part of Obamacare has disappointed him the most.” Kliff writes “There was this moment, about 50 minutes into our interview with President Barack Obama last week, that genuinely surprised me (and surprised other health care journalists, like David Nather, too).”
The surprise? Kliff writes:
My colleague Ezra Klein had asked the president a question about which part of the law had overperformed his expectations, and which part of the law had underperformed. The president gave a surprisingly frank assessment of something his administration has tried, and failed, to do: Get doctors off paper and on to digital medical records. “We put a big slug of money to encouraging everyone to digitalize and catch up with the rest of the world here,” President Obama told us. “And it’s proven to be harder than we expected.” Obama then went on to analyze why this had been so hard — why in a world where, in the president’s words, “you can basically do everything off your phone,” the medical system remains buried under “mountains of paperwork.”
Vice President Joe Biden on lack of EHR interoperabilityThe statements by President Obama and VP Biden were clearly coordinated. There may be a more significant message that is being communicated here. Biden made an additional, and very interesting statement when he said that health data interoperability is the last remaining area of policy-making where there is a clear opportunity for bipartisanship in Washington. Biden mentioned the 21st Century Medicines Act as an example of bipartisanship.
One of the key authors of that act is Rep. Tom Price (R-GA), who has been nominated by President-elect Donald Trump to be the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). While the media has been focusing on Price’s role in the repeal of Obamacare, they have overlooked his role as one of the most outspoken critics of proprietary EHR vendors in Congress for the past decade. Price, together with his colleague Rep. Michael Burgess (R-TX) has taken the side of physicians and their patients and have been vocal proponents of open solutions that lead to interoperable EHRs. Open Health News has posted multiple articles on their efforts over the past several years.
Updated 3/4/2019: This post was part of a longer post that included a discussion of the impact of the HITECH ACT one the healthcare industry. That section is now a separate post and can be found here.

40K people at HIMSS - GDP explains it
Roger, I thought of you when I wrote the 2nd to last sentence:
At first glance, the number of people who annually attend HIMSS struck me as huge.
One might think that with 40,000 people from the healthcare industry attending the annual HIMSS conference, healthcare delivery might need to slow down for a week. If 40,000 postal workers went to conference the mail wouldn't get delivered. But it is all a matter of scale.
Healthcare as an industry is 17.8% of GDP, over 1/6th of all business activities in the U.S. The magnitude of that may not be immediately obvious. It is greater than the combination of: the financial industry (8.3%), the auto industry (3.2%), and the oil industry (3.1%) that only totals 14.6%. There is room to throw Walmart (2%) in there as well and still not reach the scale of healthcare.
Many things happen in any realm where that much money is swirling around. It attracts what the Bible called money changers, and it has enough wealth to develop bureaucracy and layers of administration without restricting excessive profitability. That is why the pure profit of just the handling of healthcare money, performed by insurance companies and major corporate healthcare entities like HMOs, is 1/3rd of that 1/6th of GDP. That is right......1/3rd of healthcare GDP, or 1/18th of all GDP, is in just the 'profits' absorbed by those who move the money around. That is 5.93% of GDP and comes in a very close 2nd behind the entire financial industry. It does not include the profit made by those who invent the next better MRI device, or pharmaceuticals, or those that built the hospital. Just the profit of those that move the money around.
This occurs in an industry where demand is inelastic, the provider of the goods or services determines the demand, and it is all conducted under the free market model. When your healthcare providers say you need surgery/antibiotics/chemotherapy/set a bone/etc. the patient doesn't opt out based on price. Possible death, pain, disablement, pretty much makes that demand inelastic. Yet healthcare services needed is determined by the providers. That conjoining of the supply and demand being set by the same entity totally erodes the check and balance in a free market model of supply and demand as a function of elasticity that controls price. Econ 101 stuff. But we have allowed our healthcare delivery to be constructed on a for profit, free market, laissez fair, Adam Smith model. OK for sneakers, cars, TVs, and such, but runs into the aforementioned problems in healthcare. Not to mention the moral issue of profitizing healthcare, but just on the pure economic analysis of it, this is a formula for high prices and excessive profits.
So it is no wonder that 40,000 people will attend HIMSS and the industry won't even notice relative to service delivery.
So it is no wonder that the proprietary and closed approach that EHR providers have with regard to patient data, as outgoing President Obama and VP Biden spoke about in the closing days of their administration, pervades healthcare today.
So it is no wonder that America pays way more per person for healthcare than anywhere else in the world.

Big Hearts Rebuild Big Heart Ranch
By Lindsey Sullivan
Photos by Lindsey Sullivan
Big Heart Ranch, a Malibu local community wellness center and animal rescue sanctuary, is still recovering from this past November’s Woolsey Fire.
The ranch, like many members of the Malibu community, experienced significant damages because of the fire. Pepperdine student volunteers joined with Big Heart’s Community Relations Volunteer Denise Degarmo to restore the losses.
“The propane exploded, and everything was set in flames [during Woolsey],” Degarmo said. “Not only did we lose structures, but we lost electricity, drainage… Now we are in the process of rebuilding.”
During the evacuation, members of the ranch had approximately 15 minutes to secure themselves and all of the animals from the fire, Degarmo said.
“We had no transport and one neighbor came with a four-horse trailer,” Degarmo said. “We managed to get the big animals in there, put chickens and ducks in trucks, pigs in someone’s car, and we got them all down to Zuma Beach.”
The ranch hosted residents of Pepperdine’s Lovernich Apartments and other members of the community for Step Forward Day to assist with the repairing process.
Junior Aracelli Chang said those who attended helped build and stain furniture for the ranch, cared for the animals and cleaned the ranch grounds.
“Throughout our time there, we were surrounded by wonderful staff that clearly love their job,” junior Taylor Mathews said. “They were excited to share it with others which made it all the more enjoyable and instigated an enthusiastic willingness to get hands on, and even a little dirty.”
Local businesses offered donations for volunteers at Step Forward Day, with meals provided by Lily’s Malibu and Whole Foods, water from Ralph’s and coffee from Starbucks.
“As someone who has grown up in Malibu, I can definitely attest that Big Heart Ranch has its place in the community,” Mathews said. “It was amazing to see other volunteers from the area show up. Even Lily Castro herself, of Lily’s Malibu, came to the ranch to donate food and help out. If a stamp of approval from Lily doesn’t solidify your place in the Malibu community, I don’t know what would.”
With the generosity of various organizations like the Malibu Foundation, Lifesavers Wild Horse Rescue, Sustainable Solutions and others, Big Heart Ranch has made strides to recovery, Degarmo said.
“When disaster hits, these corporations open their doors,” Degarmo said. “This community opened their hearts.”

Big Heart Ranch has been home to hundreds of farm animals since 2006, and now cares for 77 animals including horses, donkeys, chickens, bunnies, goats, pigs, alpacas and deer.
The intention behind Big Heart is “to provide a safe, supportive, and empowering space for people to disconnect from the unnatural world and reconnect to their natural wisdom,” so that people may “learn to live in harmony with nature and each another,” according to their website.
Goats welcome new guests into their home.
By providing love and care for the animals they rescue, Big Heart is able to offer animal therapy sessions for underserved families alongside other members of the Malibu community.
“Every animal is a rescue that is here,” Degarmo said. “Every one of them has overcome incredible hardship, in their own right. That is why I think that they provide so much healing for people. I think there is inherent in the animals, an ability to feel where the person is.”

The ranch offers many different types of trauma healing and wellness sessions for both individuals and groups. Among the many different community members that have benefited from the programs offered, Big Heart has most recently provided sessions for victims of domestic abuse, children from foster homes, those rehabilitating from drug and alcohol abuse and parents who have lost children.
Degarmo extends a kiss to Tenny, a blind horse who provides therapy for war veterans.
“Animals create a safe space, the earth creates a safe space,” Degarmo said. “I think Big Heart Ranch is such a magical gift to the community. I want everyone to know about it.”
The ranch also offers nature-based therapy, including an herbal healing garden and meditation sessions.
Big Heart’s herbal healing garden provides a therapeutic space for exploring the five senses.
“That’s where the healing starts,” Degarmo said. “You can’t think yourself into not being sad, into forgiveness, into wellness. So working with soil, plants, horses, goats, chickens, it is all an experience. I think the inherent part of this work and why it is so powerful is that it is experiential.”

The Lighting Design Group Lights Event for CNBC
PLSN Staff • News • December 15, 2014
NEW YORK – The Lighting Design Group recently lit CNBC’s 25th anniversary celebration at Rose Hall in The Time Warner Building. The event involved lighting three different rooms for dinner, drinks and entertainment.
More details from The Lighting Design Group (www.ldg.com)
This past November, CNBC tapped The Lighting Design Group (LDG) to light their 25th anniversary celebration. This year also marks LDG’s 25th anniversary. The elaborate event was held at Rose Hall, home to Jazz at Lincoln Center, in The Time Warner Building. LDG staff designers, programmers, gaffers, and Local One I.A.T.S.E crew members worked to install the affair over the course of two days and within several Rose Hall locations.
The first event of the evening occurred in The Rose Theater, lit by LDG President Steve Brill. The one-hour, panel show was broadcast live and hosted by CNBC’s Jim Cramer, host of Mad Money. “Due to several variables we opted to use VL 3500s for much of the heavy lifting,” said Brill. One was the shutter capabilities, which allowed granular control over the lighting of each panelist. “They are also very powerful units, allowing us to place the fixtures far away and low on the balcony rails, which works well for camera,” he continued. The most important perk was the flexibility. “A lot changes in T.V., sometimes last minute, so it was critical for us to have the ability to make quick adjustments as changes happened.” Matt Piercy programmed the rig.
Afterwards guests moved into The Appel Room, a beautifully adorned space with large windows overlooking Columbus Circle lit by Senior Designer Niel Galen and Lighting Designer Dan Rousseau, Here guests ate dinner, while three separate panels discussed trends in business and global markets. “Our goal was to make the room as warm and inviting as possible, but not distract from the views the venue offers of Central Park South,” said Rousseau. The team used existing gear to light the room, including Martin Vipers, lighting the panelists for camera within a warm and inviting template and color wash.
Finally guests ended their evening with cocktails and entertainment in The David Rubenstein Atrium, lit by Senior Designer Mike Grabowski. The atmosphere here was more festive. “Big, branded, and classy,” says Grabowski of the overall design. “Exhibits, like Google Glass, were on display in addition to other tech gear, which we lit with Source 4 lekos using enhanced definition lens tubes, which helped keep all the shutter cut lines crisp and clean.” Bands played jazz and show tunes on an installed stage. Greg Purnell programmed the moving light package. “This wasn’t a rock concert,” said Grabowski, “so we had to be conservative.” He used Nexus 4×4 panels to create simple bitmap effects to add more visual spice.
Michael Kemp, the Senior Project Manager for LDG, helped facilitate the logistics. “There was a lot of crew to keep track of,” said Kemp, “but a real challenge was the ‘horse trading’ of gear from room to room.” As the needs of the various rooms changed on-site, LDs would exchange gear to accommodate the changes. “It was an odd thing to manage, this sort of bartering of lighting gear,” said Kemp. 4 Wall Entertainment Lighting Rentals of New York provided supplemental lighting equipment.
Evan Purcell, Jon Goss, and Eric Kasprisin were the gaffers.
LDG has been working with CNBC for many years. “We are grateful to have been a part of their first 25 years, and we hope to continue providing our services in the next 25 years,” concluded Brill.

Twin Husbands (1933) Review, with John Miljan and Shirley Gray

Monroe Owsley
Released by Invincible Pictures
Directed by Frank R. Strayer
Twin Husbands: Twisted Misters
“I can’t pretend to be the victim of amnesia for more than a few hours at a time. My ego won’t permit it!”
On one of those famed dark and stormy nights, a man wakes up in a mansion, unsure of who he is or what he’s doing there. A call to information comes from inside the house and tells him the date: November 21st, 1938. His butler, Grayson, enters the room. The man takes him aside and learns that his name is Jerry. He’s at his own mansion, he has a wife, and a secretary, and his name is Jerry.
Then Jerry slugs Grayson. Jerry reveals that he knows that he’s being the made the victim of a fraud. “I nicked myself on the train this morning” he says, pointing at the scratch. Now just what is going on?
This is the first of many of Twin Husbands’ reversals, some goofy, some sublime. The movie features identical men, a famous safecracker named the Sparrow, fake police, fraudulent bonds, and plenty more. When so many films of the 1930s had to deal with keeping the audience informed of what may have happened in the first two acts for anyone who wandered in late, Twin Husbands helpfully keeps things so off-kilter that audiences who’ve sat through the full feature may be unable to recall all of the twists.
John Miljan, who usually plays a nasty kind of guy, relishes playing a role that recalls William Powell’s turn in Jewel Robbery. The film does great in tricking the audience through typecasting, too, and that’s all I’ll say on that subject.
Twin Husbands is an utterly ridiculous film, where every character has three or four whiplash-inducing reversals. But it’s a nice showcase of what an independent production in the early-30s could do. Much like The Sin of Nora Moran or The Vampire Bat, not having to work on focusing on showcasing the film’s nominal stars allow them to go places narratively that more streamlined studio products could not have attempted. It gives the film a weird energy and makes it, unlike a lot of product at the time, unpredictable, as one or two expected twists never do manage to materialize.
While the movie feels static– you could probably count the sets on a single hand– Twin Husbands is a breezy, fun kind of flick that foreshadows and stands with much of its brethren in the con game genre.

Story at Berwick
RAGES has long been pressing for the re-introduction of the local service from Edinburgh to Berwick with the possible re-opening of stations at East Linton and Reston.
The main campaign story can be read at this link.
Berwick will be the southern "end of the line" for the local service.
Berwick Station
Our Berwick Representative, Barrie Forrest BEM, visited the station last week (4th October) and reports that the booking office has again moved and reduced from two windows to one.
Barrie noted that there were long queues and a lot of frustration.
His photographs taken at his visit are seen opposite.
East Coast Main Line Franchise Now LNER
On 16th May 2018, David Horne, Managing Director of Virgin Trains East Coast, wrote to RAGES to update us on their East Coast Main Line services following the Secretary of State for Transport’s statement.
The contract came to an end on 24th June 2018 and that the services would be delivered by the Operator of Last Resort (OLR). We are deeply disappointed at the Government’s decision and that we cannot continue to deliver our transformational plans for the franchise, building on our £75 million worth of investment since 2015.
The new company ia named London North Eastern Railway (LNER) and a train in its "new" livery can be seen opposite.

Perfect Planners(HKTDC Gifts, Premium & Stationery, Vol 04,2007)
A trendy line of organisers produced by Artech Int'l (Asia) Ltd under its own licensed brand Rouge Power features the fuzzy organiser (top) with pen
Today's fast-paced world demands functional yet stylish diaries and organisers to help manage hectic work and social schedules
Hong Kong manufacturers are doing their bit to ease the stresses and strains of modern life by producing a delightful variety of stylish diaries and organisers that no successful individual or business can do without.
For example, 1991-established Artech Int'l (Asia) Ltd, which claims to be one of the leading packaging and stationery products firms in Hong Kong and on the Chinese mainland, offers "one-stop-shop" services from printing and packaging through to design and distribution.
"OEM accounts for up to 80% of our business, with licensed products the remainder," says Sales Manager Dick Mui, adding that the firm is an approved supplier to leading importers and distributors of gifts and premiums in the US, Europe, Australia, Japan and Hong Kong.
Building on its years of experience as a licensee for brands such as Disney, Warner Bros and 20th Century Fox, Artech launched its own Rouge Power licensed brand four years ago.
Rouge Power is a trendy line created by French illustrator Didier Fayolle that features seven girl characters, each represented by a colour, and with a matching personality.
"Rouge Power is aimed at the 18-to-28-year-old female market, and now makes up about 15% of total sales," says Mr Mui, adding the brand has found fans in Hong Kong, Europe (especially Italy) and Japan. "They like the graphics and the price-point of our products."
Popular models include a black PVC-covered, six-ring binder organiser measuring 140x105x26mm embroidered with the Rouge Power trademark. Another popular style is a 194x147x30mm fuzzy organiser with pen, featuring a Rouge Power character printed on the 2mm-thick cardboard cover. "The paper is wood-free, sourced from Korea and Japan for better quality," says Mr Mui.
Normal delivery time is 45-60 days for 10,000-piece minimum orders that can also be tailor-made. "We can discuss prices with potential customers, but we are looking to grant the licence for Rouge Power to suitable clients," notes Mr Mui, adding that Artech's in-house design team in Hong Kong and the mainland keeps an eye on Europe and Japan for design leads.
Equally abreast of market trends is one-year-old A and G (HK) Ltd, whose varied clientele includes medium-sized garment firms, banks and promotion companies in Denmark, South Africa, Malaysia, Germany and Hong Kong.
"We focus on medium-sized customers that don't require a huge order quantity, because we are not a big operation either so we can solve our problems together," says Manager Amy Chan.
Minimum orders of about 1,000 pieces are normally delivered within 35 days from A and G's three factories in Guangdong Province on the mainland. Its portfolio line is produced at a subcontracted factory in the provincial capital of Guangzhou.
"We can tailor-make each item, and our client feedback is that our workmanship is good," says Ms Chan. "We constantly visit our factories to check on production and inspect the goods."
Among the firm's diary/organiser offerings is a classic, pocket-sized PVC organiser measuring 14x19x4cm with six-ring metal binder and magnetic closure.
Consisting of a diary, standard subject dividers and three inserts for name cards on the inside front cover, the item is unit-priced at US$3 FOB Guangzhou based on a 5,000-piece minimum order. A similar style, except with two tones and a flap closure, is available for US$2.80.
"Logos can be embossed, embroidered, laser- or screen-printed onto the cover," says Ms Chan, noting that screen-printing is the most popular because it is cheaper.
"We can do any colour requested, but dark colours like black, brown and navy blue are the most popular, since they are suitable for both men and women," she observes.
Also offering a huge variety is paper products specialist Eternal Printing (HK) Co Ltd, which has found that notebook-style, spiral-bound diaries with thick plastic covers are popular sellers in Italy, the UK and Sweden.
OEM comprises 90% of the business of the company, which was set up in 2004 as the Hong Kong-based sales and purchasing office for New Hung Shing Printing, a leading paper and premium products supplier on the mainland. Both are subsidiaries of the Wing Tai Woo Printing Group of Hong Kong.
"We have 19 factories on the mainland under our printing group for making advertising, blister and paper products," says Export Manager Ray Cheung. "We have the biggest printing machine in Shenzhen for offset printing of paper products, so we can offer good prices."
Diaries from Eternal Printing cost about US$7-8 each ex-factory, depending on the materials, size, thickness and order quantity. A typical model measures 18x17x2cm, is spiral-bound with a 0.75mm PP cover and has a simple elastic band closure. It contains 200 sheets of wood-free paper, three subject dividers, a plastic holder for keeping loose items like name cards and a 16cm ruler.
A minimum order is 1,000-2,000 diaries delivered within 30 days in peak seasons, or two weeks in low seasons. "We can use either screen-printing or UV printing on the cover, but UV printing is cheaper and more precise," advises Mr Cheung.
By offering consumers a wide choice of diaries and organisers, it seems Hong Kong manufacturers are instrumental in making sure important engagements are made and business targets met the world over.

The Apparition of Christ
THE enthusiastic and increasing veneration for the Madonna, the large place she filled in the religious teaching of the ecclesiastics and the religious sentiments of the people, are nowhere more apparent, nor more strikingly exhibited, than in the manner in which she was associated with the scenes which followed the Passion the manner in which some incidents were suggested, and treated with a peculiar reference to her, and to her maternal feelings. It is nowhere said that the Virgin-mother was one of the Maries who visited the tomb on the morning of the resurrection, and nowhere is she so represented. But out of the human sympathy with that bereaved and longing heart arose the beautiful legend of the interview between Christ and his Mother after he had risen from the dead.
There existed a very ancient tradition (it is mentioned by St. Ambrose in the fourth century, as being then generally accepted by Christians), that Christ, after his return from Hades, visited his Mother, even before he appeared to Mary Magdalene in the garden. It is not indeed so written in the Gospel ; but what of that ? The reasoning which led to the conclusion was very simple. He whose last earthly thought was for his Mother would not leave her without that consolation it was in his power to give ; and what, as a son, it was his duty to do (for the humanity of Christ is never forgotten by those who most intensely believed in his divinity), that, of course, he did do.
The story is thus related : Mary, when all was ” finished,” retired to her chamber, and remained alone with her grief not wailing, not repining, not hopeless, but waiting for the fulfilment of the promise. Open before her lay the volume of the prophecies; and she prayed earnestly, and she said, “Thou didst promise, O my most dear Son ! that thou wouldst rise again on the third day. Before yesterday was the day of darkness and bitterness, and, behold, this is the third day. Return then to me thy Mother ; O my Son, tarry not, but come ! ” And while thus she prayed, to ! a bright company of angels, who entered waving their palms and radiant with joy; and they surrounded her, kneeling and singing the triumphant Easter hymn, Regina Cali laetare, -Alleluia ! 1 And then came Christ, partly clothed in a white garment, having in his left hand the standard with the cross, as one just returned from the nether world, and victorious over the powers of sin and death. And with him came the patriarchs and prophets, whose loner imprisoned spirits he had released from Hades. All these knelt before the Virgin, and saluted her, and blessed her, and thanked her, because through her had come their deliverance. But, for all this, the Mother was not comforted till she had heard the voice of her Son. Then he, raising his hand in benediction, spoke, and said, ” I salute thee, O my Mother ! ” and she, weeping tears of joy, responded, ” Is it thou indeed, my most dear Son ? ” and she fell upon his neck, and he em-braced her tenderly, and showed her the wounds he had received for sinful men. Then he bid her be comforted and weep no more, for the pain of death had passed away, and the gates of hell had not prevailed against him. And she thanked him meekly on her knees, for that he had been pleased to bring redemption to man, and to make her the humble instrument of his great mercy. And they sat and talked together, until he took leave of her to return to the garden, and to show himself to Mary Magdalene, who, next to his glorious Mother, had most need of consolation.
The pathetic sentiment, and all the supernatural and mystical accompaniments of this beautiful myth of the early ages, have been very inadequately rendered by the artists. It is always treated as a plain matter-of-fact scene. The Virgin kneels ; the Saviour, bearing his standard, stands before her ; and where the delivered patriarchs are introduced, they are generally either Adam and Eve, the authors of the fall, or Abraham and David, the progenitors of Christ and the Virgin. The patriarchs are omitted in the earliest instance I can refer to, one of the carved panels of the stalls in the cathedral of Amiens, also in the composition by Albert Durer, not included in his Life of the Virgin, but forming one of the series of the Passion. Guido has represented the scene in a very fine picture, wherein an angel bears the standard of victory, and behind our Saviour are Adam and Eve. (Dresden Gallery.)
Another example, by Guercino (cathedral, Cento), is cited by Goethe as an instance of that excellence in the expression of the natural and domestic affections which characterized the painter. Mary kneels before her Son, looking up in his face with unutterable affection ; he regards her with a calm, sad look, “as if within his noble soul there still remained the recollection of his suffering and hers, outliving the pangs of death, the descent into the grave, and which the resurrection had not yet dispelled.” This, however, is not the sentiment, at once affectionate and joyously triumphant, of the old legend. I was pleased with a little picture in the Lichtenstein Gallery at Vienna, where the risen Saviour, standing before his Mother, points to the page of the book before her, as if he said, ” See you not that thus it is written ? ” (Luke xxiv. 46.) Behind Jesus is St. John the Evangelist bearing the cup and the cross, as the cup of sorrow and the cross of pain, not the mere emblems. There is another example, by one of the Caracci, in the Fitzwilliam collection at Cambridge.
A picture by Albano of this subject, in which Christ comes flying or floating on the air, like an incorporeal being, surrounded by little fluttering eherubim, very much like Cupids, is an example of all that is most false and objectionable in feeling and treatment. (Pitti, Florence.)
The popularity of this scene in the Bologna school of art arose, I think, from its being adopted as one of the subjects from the Rosary, the first of ” the five Glorious Mysteries ; ” therefore especially affected by the Dominicans, the great patrons of the Caracci at that time.

Some People Are Sikh Of Jay Leno
Posted by gasmonso on January 26, 2012
[2] Comments | Print This Post |
Honestly I’m not a fan of Jay Leno or the Tonight Show. But Leno finally managed to get a laugh out of me though the other day when Presidential candidate Mitt Romney was forced to release his tax return. It proved the obvious… Romney is wealthy. Really wealthy. So Leno decided to do a slideshow via TMZ of politicians and their homes. First off was Newt Gingrich’s pad, followed by Ron Paul’s, and lastly Mitt Romney’s summer home. Just watch and you’ll see!
Now one would presume that it’s just a harmless joke. Right? Wrong! What most people didn’t realize is that the house jokingly shown as Romney’s summer home was actually the holiest shrine in Sikhism known as The Golden Temple. And Dr. Randeep Dhillon, the one Sikh watching The Tonight Show, did NOT find Leno’s joke amusing. Not only was he DEEPLY offended, but he was driven by God him/her/itself to sue Jay Leno for libel. Dr. Dhillon claims that Leno is responsible for encouraging hatred and/or ridicule of HIS religion!
Now let’s think about that for a second… If anyone should be offended it should be Romney as he’s a Mormon and not a Sikh. Now millions of voters think Romney is a Sikh! That could cost him the election this November! Or maybe Ron Paul should be offended because people think he lives in that “dinky” little ranch home. But I hardly think Dr. Sensitive has any reason to be offended. It’s not like it’s his house! As for Leno being responsible for encouraging hatred and ridicule, I think Dr. Dhillion is making his religion look foolish by acting like such a douche bag.

World’s Greatest Church Singer… EVER!

Holy shit! Ever wonder what a prepubescent George Costanza would be like if he sang at a church? Well today is your lucky day! Sit back and listen to this beauty, “Looking For a City.” If you can make it through the whole thing in one sitting then you’re tougher than I.

Atheists Are Empty-Headed Accidents?
Recently a church in South Africa was ordered to take down a billboard. It was erected last year in a prominent position on the property of the Rivers Church in the Sandton suburb of Johannesburg. The billboard states, “An Atheist is a man who believes himself to be an accident” which is a famous quote from English poet Francis Thompson. For those unfamiliar with Thompson, he was a poet in the late 1800′s. He was addicted to opium and lived as an “unbalanced invalid” in Wales and at Storrington. He died of tuberculosis is 1907. You can read more here. Now back to the story!
A non-Christian (probably an Atheist unfortunately) seeing the billboard contacted South Africa’s Advertising Standards Authority and voiced a complaint. The ASA forced the church to remove the offending billboard stating:
“The visuals of a man holding the sides of his empty head suggest that atheists are “empty-headed” or lack intelligence, presumably as a result of the above “belief” communicated”
The church submitted that the advertisement is based on Psalm 14v and Psalm 53v1, which say “only foolish say in their hearts there is no God”.
Now my first impression of the matter is that it’s a pretty damn funny advertisement. I’m not too pleased that a non-Christian, probably an Atheist, was offended and actually complained. But honestly, do Atheists actually think they’re ignorant? Not a chance. Christians, Muslims, and other believers may think we Atheists/Agnostics are stupid, but there are studies that show quite the opposite especially when dealing with matters of religion. One well-known study, The U.S. Religious Knowledge Survey, was conducted in 2010 by The Pew Forum. The results speak for themselves:

Blazing Saddles, Flaming Bulls, And Hot Dogs?
Today officially marks the Feast of Saint Anthony, seen by many as the Patron Saint of Animals. And what better way to celebrate this special day then by making out with your furry friend in the comfort of a church. Not quite your style? Fair enough, how about creating a humongous bonfire in the street with 12 foot flames and jumping it with your horse! Still too dull for ya? Well guzzle a bottle of locally made alcohol and do it again! Woohoo! Now we’re getting somewhere. While villagers believe the flames have cleansing powers and will help to bring them prosperity, I’m thinking it’ll cleanse the horses alright… it’ll cleanse them of all their hair!
But what about those of us that haven’t a pet? Are we to be left out of the festivities? Oh hell no, this is Spain we’re talking about and they cap the night off with a bull run. A flaming bull run! And I’m not talking about gay bulls folks. Forget about sharks with frickin’ laser beams, these are some seriously pissed-off bulls with their horns lit on fire chasing after you!
Needless to say, PETA is probably not a sponsor of this event.

Jesus Stuck In New England Traffic
Tebow fans and religious freaks alike were all set for Saturday night’s playoff game between the Broncos and the Patriots. With Jesus favoring the Broncos heavily, Denver fans were all too confident. With a 14 point deficit after just the first quarter, many figured that Jesus was just spotting the Patriots a few points to make it interesting. But with a 28 point deficit at the half, some started wondering what Jesus was up to. Was he setting the stage for the most dramatic comeback of all time?
With the Patriot’s lead steadily increasing throughout the 3rd quarter, some Tebow fans started feeling worried. Others held out for a 4th quarter crusade of sorts that would unleash a biblical fury on the Patriots. It never came. Denver fans and the faithful stood in disbelief as the mighty Tebow fell from the heavens without the help of Jesus. Tebow threw for a paltry 136 yards and 0 touchdowns. Ouch!
Enjoy this clip of Tebowie from Jimmy Fallon in remembrance of the fallen angel Tim Tebow.

43% Of Americans Are F^ck!ng Stupid
[15] Comments | Print This Post |
It’s finally Friday and like me, many Americans are looking forward to the playoffs this weekend. While there are four games, one in particular is reaching “heavenly” proportions. That game of course is Tim “Jesus” Tebow and the Denver Broncos vs. The New England Patriots.
For those of you unaware of the whole Tebow mess, he’s the Denver Broncos quarterback who is ranked 24 out of 32. While his stats are subpar, Tebow is credited with several last-minute “miraculous” wins. And of course after every win he takes a knee to thank Jesus for the victory. Good stuff.
If that’s not batshit crazy in itself, then try this statistic on for size. In a nationwide survey on January 8th, 43% of 756 respondents believed that Divine Intervention was at least partly responsible for Tebow’s success! There’s a margin of error of only +/- 3%. I would have thought it was more like 100%, but I’ll take their word for it.
If this poll is representative of the United States as a whole, then it’s no wonder why the country has seen better days. The very thought that God has nothing better to do than help some mediocre quarterback win football games is straight up crazy. Let’s be God for a minute… Never mind war, poverty, or Catholic priests molesting children… no I’m gonna focus my magical powers on a stupid f^ck!ng football game. Yea that makes complete sense!
Are these people out of their minds? Seriously naive? Or just f^ck!ng morons? Wow! I just can’t believe it’s the 21st century and people honestly believe that there’s a God winning football games.
You can see the complete results of the survey here.

Pope: Gay Marriage Ultimate Threat To Humanity
It’s 2012 and as we all know it’s the end of the world. The Mayans predicted hundreds of years ago, but forgot the mention exactly how it would end. Some believe that a killer asteroid would slam into the Earth leading to a fate similar to the dinosaurs some 2500 years ago. Others think it’ll be an old standby like war or disease. Then there are the religious types that think the seas will boil and some horsemen will ride into town and blah blah blah. They’re all wrong.
Pope Bendict XVI has uncovered the real truth. Forget about famine, war, disease, aliens, asteroids, and all that silly crap. The biggest threat to humanity’s very existence is gay marriage! Pope Benedict says:
“Pride of place goes to the family, based on the marriage of a man and a woman. This is not a simple social convention, but rather the fundamental cell of every society. Consequently, policies which undermine the family (gay marriage) threaten human dignity and the future of humanity itself.”
Words of wisdom from a man that, just a year ago, stated that pedophilia wasn’t an absolute evil.
Yet Another Reason To Detest Justin Bieber
Posted by gasmonso on January 6, 2012
Take your pick. Maybe it’s his ginormous Bert-like eyebrows that look as if they’re glued on his head, or that prepubescent shrill of a voice that makes your skin crawl. There’s something about Justin Bieber that makes putting ice picks in your ears an attractive idea. Honestly I’d rather chew aluminum foil while massaging Rosanne Barr’s feet on a hot and humid afternoon. He’s just that annoying.
And just when I thought there was nothing else he could do no more wrong, he finds a way! Justin Bieber is a full-blown Jesus freak. He has the tattoo(s) to prove it. A large image of Christ on his calf and his name in Hebrew on his ribcage. Nice! In the past Justin has stated quite simply:
I’m a Christian, I believe in God, I believe that Jesus died on a cross for my sins. I believe that I have a relationship and I’m able to talk to him and really, he’s the reason I’m here, so I definitely have to remember that. As soon as I start forgetting, I’ve got to click back and be like, you know, this is why I’m here.
So what do you think? Did Jesus really die on the cross for Justin Bieber’s singing or did Bieber’s singing cause Jesus’ death? With over 2 million dislikes, just listen to Baby and the answer will be obvious. Yikes!
Victoria Jackson Doubles Down On Stupid
Posted by gasmonso on December 28, 2011
What do former SNL star Victoria Jackson and crazy have in common? As it turns out… Everything.
For those who aren’t familiar with Victoria Jackson; she was born in Miami and raised by devout Christian parents in a home without a television. She was a cheerleader, Homecoming Queen, and went on to attend Florida Bible College.
Later in life she was a regular cast member on Saturday Night Live. She’s also appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson 20 times where her signature act was reading poetry while doing a headstand. She’s also appeared in numerous movies and TV shows.
But lately Victoria Jackson has been making headlines with comments she’s made both on and off her new Web talk show PolitiChicks. What’s PolitiChicks you ask? Take The View; add a healthy smattering of stupid. Bake for 11-12 minutes and shower it with conservative Christian sprinkles. Tada! Now you have PolitiChicks. Just be sure to take in very small doses. Now back to Victoria…
On a recent show entitled, Inside Look at Congressional Briefing on Islamization of America, Victoria says how she was privied to secret documents claiming that Islamists have infiltrated the highest levels of our government, including The White House! Their agenda? To institute Sharia Law in the US and make us all slaves of Islam. Muhahahahaha! Jackson goes on to say that the Muslim Brotherhood has infiltrated our communities, our country, and our lives. Scary stuff!
But I thought the gays were taking over the US? Sure enough, Victoria Jackson has that covered too! Back in March she wrote a piece for the World Net Daily and had this to say…
Everyone knows that two men on a wedding cake is a comedy skit, not an “alternate lifestyle”! There I said it! Ridiculous!
Did you see “Glee” this week? Sickening! And, besides shoving the gay thing down our throats, they made a mockery of Christians – again! I wonder what their agenda is? Hey, producers of “Glee” – what’s your agenda? One-way tolerance?
No Victoria! The agenda is obviously both Gay and Islamic rule over the United States and the destruction of Israel. Now this guy has the right idea!
If you have the stomach for it you can watch Victoria Jackson and see for yourself what a strict Christian upbringing is capable of producing.
The Sharia Don’t Like It — Don’t Rock The Casbah
Joe Strummer, lead vocalist of the British punk rock band The Clash, is rolling over in his grave over recent events in Aceh Indonesia.
Last week police rounded up 65 youths during a punk rock concert and brought them to a detention center for “reeducation.” Their crime? Being punk rockers. Not only were these youths held for 10 days, but their spiky Mohawk hairstyles were shaved off. But why all the hate towards these youths? That’s an interesting story.
Back in 2004, Aceh was one of the hardest hit areas in the tsunami. Thousands perished and the region was all but leveled. While most rational people understand that the tsunami was caused by an earthquake underneath the ocean, the Muslims of Aceh have another theory. Many believe that the tsunami was punishment for insufficient piety! And as such there has been a steady increase in Sharia Law.
As for punk music, Sharia don’t like it! The chairman of the Aceh Association for Imams, Tarmizi Rasyid, also suggested that the detention period for the punks who had been arrested should be extended from 10 days to three months.

Good For Grapes – “Man on the Page”
Posted on January 13, 2015 by mia in Archives, Edited by Emilia Danielewska // 0 Comments
Review of: Man on the Page
Good for Grapes
Reviewed by: mia
Last modified:January 2, 2016
Man on the Page was one of the best albums of 2013, and for once Mia finds herself at a loss for words.
As a college radio host in the Pacific Northwest, my musical tastes skew towards the obscure—not as obscure as some, but full of tiny local bands who have released only a handful of albums. One such local band is Surrey’s Good for Grapes, an indie-folk septet who have taken home several local awards including the Rogers urMusic Battle of the Bands and, most recently, the 2014 Peak Performance Project. There’s a very good reason for their rising success: Good for Grapes’ debut release, Man on the Page, was one of the best albums of 2013.
On the surface, Good for Grapes’ musical style falls into the same category as The Lumineers and the Fleet Foxes: warm guitar-driven folk helmed by an earnest, talented vocalist and backed up with lots of drums, banjos, and harmonicas. While I quickly became bored by the Fleet Foxes’ navel-gazing style, Good for Grapes maintains a truly incredible energy throughout Man on the Page, and backs it up with jaw-dropping songwriting skills and composition. Whether it’s the low-key “Hallelujah Ghost” or the danceable “Little Carmichael”, Good for Grapes always keeps a smile on your face.
Man on the Page begins with a unhurried, gentle pace, with tracks like “London Fog” and “In Vino Veritas”, but part of what makes Man on the Page so enjoyable is how it swells and recedes in energy—like with “Among the Trees”, midway through the album. While it starts out as a demure folk song in the vein of Mumford and Sons, the chorus takes a turn into raucous drinking song territory, and it finishes with a big noisy buildup that resolves in “A Sequel”—a foot-stomping, hand-clapping cacophony which starts out strong and never stops. The back half of the album is pretty much perfect; there isn’t a single song that isn’t fabulous in its own way. “Eskimos” demonstrates the band’s sense of restraint, while “Skipping Stone” will have you dancing along to its infectious, optimistic beat. “A Worthier Man”, my favourite song on the album, builds to a strings-heavy climax that will have you reaching for the repeat button.
It’d be easy calling Good for Grapes a Fleet Foxes clone; songs like “Eskimos” and “Renminbi Tips” certainly sound like songs from Bedouin Dress. However, the Fleet Foxes don’t have the incredible stomping energy brimming underneath their music, nor the sense of magic that Good for Grapes brings so effortlessly. Albums like Man on the Page reveal just how difficult it is to describe music in a non-aural form; nothing I write can quite do justice to how much I love this album. This is music that you can’t help but adore; it’s energetic, powerful, and full of joy. Good for Grapes holds the listener in the palm of their hand, and I have absolute faith that they’ll become more famous as time goes on. If ever there was a band that deserved to be well-known and beloved, it’s this one.

The Devil’s Party: Satanism in Modernity – Edited by Per Faxneld and Jesper Aa. Petersen
Categories: luciferian, sabbatic craft, satanism, witchcraft
This collection of writing about modern Satanism features some of the familiar names from Scandinavian esoteric academia (Kennet Granholm and editors Faxneld and Petersen), along with other contributors: Asbjørn Dyrendal, Eugene V. Gallagher, Fredrik Gregorius, Mikael Häll, Amina Lap, James R. Lewis, Ruben van Luijk, Jacob Senholt and Rafal Smoczynski. The brief sits rather comfortably with the nature of Faxneld and Granholm’s other writing, casting an academic gaze on a subject one assumes they have quite the personal interest in.
This is a four-part party of devils, divided broadly into segments that are pre-LaVey, LaVey, post-LaVey and, I guess, post-post-LaVey. That isn’t to say that entirely everything revolves around the bad doctor, just that in a discussion of modern Satanism, it’s impossible not to frame it without reference to his rather high profile ventures. It is, though, the areas with little or no connection to Anton LaVey that provide the most interest, particularly the three entries that make up the first section of precursors and currents. In these, three distinctive examples of early modern diabolism are considered: Mikael Häll explores ideas around Satanism and devilish sympathies in early modern Sweden, particularly at the verdant intersection between Christianity, folk belief and witchcraft. He highlights confessions in which a rather idiosyncratic belief system had developed in which God was believed to be caught in Hell, making the Devil a better object of devotion. Ruben van Luijk’s attention focuses all too briefly on the retroactively named Romantic Satanists of the nineteenth century, those writers and artists who, taking their cue from Milton, identified Satan as a sympathetic adversarial anti-hero who epitomised the character of the modern age: sex, science and liberty. Also in a literary vein is Per Faxneld’s thorough assessment of Stanislaw Przybyszewski, the Polish Symbolist writer who, Faxneld argues, can be considered the first person to ever formulate a coherent system of Satanic thought.
In the second section of The Devil’s Party, the attention turns to Anton LaVey and several authors take a microscopic approach to the so-called Black Pope, casting a magnifying glass over various sections on his writing and philosophy. Amina Lap’s Categorizing Modern Satanism places LaVey’s brand of Satanism within the milieu of the emerging New Age and positions it as comparable to the Human Potential Movement and thus an example of the self-spirituality so in vogue at the time. With LaVey’s more misanthropic tendencies predicating Ayn Rand and Ragnar Redbeard over Abraham Maslow, it’s hard not to think of LaVeyan Satanism, with all its self-serving human potential given flight, as The Secret, With Horns. In Sources, Sects, and Scripture, Eugene Gallagher analyses The Book of Satan from LaVey’s Satanic Bible, in particular the elements one could charitably say were ‘borrowed’ from Ragnar Redbeard’s social Darwinist rant Might is Right. Gallagher diverges in opinion from people such as Michael Aquino and Chris Matthews who have seen LaVey’s borrowing as mere plagiarism, and instead tries to present it as an act of savvy editing, casting LaVey as more remixing trickster than content-starved huckster. Suffice to say, this assessment doesn’t convince and the meticulously documented changes that LaVey made do not come across as the significant acts of redaction criticism the author would have us believe they are. Asbjørn Dyrendal concludes this purgatory in the mind of LaVey with Hidden Persuaders and Invisible Wars, a consideration of the strange intersections LaVey had with conspiracy thinking: on the one hand mocking the mindset that abandoned control to the machinations of an imagined Kennedy-killing invisible hand, but at the same time, paranoically railing against forces of conformity whether they be church, state or television commercials.
The book’s third section, The Legacy of Dr. LaVey: The Satanic Mileu Today, brings together three disparate pieces, connected only through their rather dry survey/data analysis approach. James R. Lewis turns to statistics from his own Satanism Surveys to look at how Satanists identify themselves in terms of conversion narratives, assessing the ‘coming home’ claim, common to both Satanism and Paganism, in which practitioners are born, not made. Jesper Petersen takes a different anthropological approach, considering the spirit of transgression (and in turn, sanitisation) in modern Satanism, while Rafal Smoxzynski summarises the discursive strategies of Polish rationalist Satanists associated with the satan.pl website.
Finally, in the fourth section, matters move out of the gravitationally heavy orbit of LaVey with a consideration of Satanism in a post-LaVeyan world. Kennet Granholm initiates this with a discussion of the problematic and limited nature of the term ‘Satanism,’ especially when it comes to dealing with paths that aren’t nominally Satanic, but share a similar ethos or even occupy the same subcultural space. Granholm uses the Temple of Set as a perfect example of this quandary, being similar to the Church of Satan in so many ways, and often referred to as a Satanic organisation, even though their very name is used to differentiate themselves from Aquino’s previous affiliation. This is not a new area of thought for Granholm who expressed his dissatisfaction with the analytical usefulness of the term ‘Satanism’ as early as 2001, and in its place he proffers Left-Hand Path as a more appropriate category; one that is able to embrace various darkly-orientated paths rather than just those who have Satan at their thematic core. While Granholm’s semantic concerns are certainly interesting, his piece is more enjoyable for the condensed history and summary of the Temple of Set. It is by no means exhaustive, but as a potted history of the temple, it is quite delightful. The same can also be said for some of the other essays in this final section, all of which focus on groups or traditions at the periphery of the Church of Satan. Fredrik Gregorius’ Luciferian Witchcraft summarises this particular brand of witchcraft, prefacing it with Charles Leland’s Aradia material before moving on to brief considerations of the usual suspects: Paul Huson, Robert Cochrane and the Clan of Tubal-Cain (including its various descendants in the United Kingdom and the United States), Andrew Chumbley and the Sabbatic Craft, Michael Howard, and less usual, Michael Ford (but not the comparable Robin Artisson). For anyone familiar with the subject of Traditional Witchcraft, there won’t be anything new here, but as a brief primer, it’s fine. Jacob Senholt concludes this section, and the whole book, with Secret Identities in the Sinister Tradition, an overview of the Order of Nine Angles with a particular focus on the identification of the order’s leader Anton Long as David Myatt. Senholt suggests that Myatt’s forays into various fringe areas of politics and activism, in particular his conversion to Islam for several years, are examples of what the ONA call insight roles, with everything he has done being part of an ongoing Satanic imperative (rather than simply vacillations between various extreme causes).
In total, The Devil’s Party succeeds with its variety of voices casting a fairly broad thematic net. Although to continue this slightly mixed metaphor, there are areas where the netting does become tangled and the considerations of LaVey’s thoughts can be a slog to get through; not because of the quality of the writing but because of the way his dated, rationalist approach took all the fun out of Satanism. There are gaps that one would have liked to have seen filled in a look at Satanism in modernity. For example, it would have been interesting to have seen a consideration of Satanism and black metal (particularly because of the way the often theistic Satanism of black metal was positioned in opposition to LaVeyan Satanism). Similarly, a survey of LaVeyan Satanism since the death of LaVey would have been interesting, with total references to Peter Gilmour being, to put it mildly, slight. The quality of writing is high, formatting is clean, clear and functional.

Factors that matter in your marketing plan
Share Facebook Twitter Google + LinkedIn Pinterest Markets continued to trade sideways. Farmers are selling at $3.70 futures and buyers are able to widen basis and still buy it. The flat price value of corn isn’t moving much.Market actionOptions ExpirationOn 1/22/16 a $3.80 Feb corn option that I had sold on 12/10/15 for 8 cents expired worthless. This is because March futures were under $3.80 on the day of expiration, I’m not required to do anything but collect the full premium of 8 cents. This trade represented 5% of my production.Options TradeKnowing the trade above was going to expire worthless, I sold an April $3.80 call for 8 cents on 1/22/16 to try and collect some additional premium in the future. Again representing 5% of my production. What does this mean?Based on May corn futures – The Option expires 3/25/16Corn below $3.80 – I keep the 8 cents premiumCorn above $3.80 – I have to sell grain for $3.80 but keep the 8 cents premium◦ In other words, if this happens I sell corn for $3.80, plus an additional 16 cent premium (the 8 cent Feb call + the 8 cent April call) for a total of $3.96.◦ Then…since I have all of my 2015 grain sold, I can move the short futures position to Dec futures for an additional 17 cents (market carry) to make a total of $4.13 sold for 2016 crop.With what I know today, I’m pleased with either outcome of this trade.Basis tradeIt’s time for me to core the bins out. This should allow me to keep my remaining corn in condition until the middle of summer. Last week I found an end user willing to pay me -.20 picked up on the farm, which has been the best opportunity on basis so far on 2015 corn. So, I sold about 10% of my2015 corn production. Since making the trade, basis pulled back 10 cents with the recent 20 cent board rally. I hope the basis market rebounds, because I will need another opportunity in the spring or summer to finish selling my 2015 production.Getting caught up in the headlinesWith the market not moving in January, headlines about relatively insignificant issues are creeping up. Farmers can get so focused on these issues, that sometimes they miss the big picture and what really affects farm operation profits. Following are three big ones I’ve noticed.Fuel costsMany are rushing to cover 2016 diesel inputs. While it’s important to be diligent about all input costs, fuel only represents 1% of a farmer’s overall budget. Let’s look at the numbers. Average farmers use 1 gallon/acre/field pass, or about 3-6 gallons/acre/year. Even if fuel prices adjusted a full $1/gallon this coming year, the added expense is only around $5/acre. This translates to 3 cents per bushel on corn or 11 cents on beans. The corn and bean market move that amount any given day. Realistically fluctuations would be closer to maybe 50 cents per gallon and that would mean a change of only 1.5 cents for corn and 6 cents for beans.FertilizerFertilizer is probably the largest input cost for farmers that has significant cost adjustments. Similar to fuel costs though, even if prices decrease by $100/ton this year (a big swing), the cost would be about $15/acre less. This equates to about 10 cents/bushel. Between the two, fertilizer is the bigger worry, but relatively small in the grand scheme of things. Market prices can swing 10 cents in an active day for the corn futures. The Realty of Corn Production GloballyWeather-related events in other countries can also make big headlines. Recently, I read that South Africa will have to import some corn due to drought conditions. On the surface this seems like a bullish story; however, South Africa only produces 1% of the world’s corn. To put it into perspective, the state of Michigan produces the same amount of corn as South Africa. Would the market get overly concerned if MI was importing corn from OH? Unless it’s college football recruits that are leaving OH for MI, I doubt many would care. This got me to think about the production of other countries in the world…Brazil is the 3rd largest corn producer in the world – equal to corn production in IL and IN combinedThe European Union (28 member countries) produces about 10% more corn than the entire state of IAUkraine and the other 12 countries of the Former Soviet Union produce about the same amount of corn as NE and MNArgentina usually only produces a little more than KS and ND combinedMexico’s production is equal to SDCanada and OH produce almost the same amount each yearRussia, the largest land mass country on the planet, raises no more corn than the state of MO each yearIndia, with the world’s second largest population, only accounts for the same amount of corn grown in KY, WI and PA combinedSo, what does matter when looking at the corn market?The United States (35%) and China (23%) account for 58% of the world’s corn productionIf IA was its own country it would be the 4th largest producer of corn in the worldIA, IL, NE, MN, IN, and SD produce 25% of the world’s corn8 Billion bushels of corn are in storage around the world, or nearly what China produces each yearAbout 20% of that stored world corn is sitting on farms unpriced in bins across the United States.What does have a big impact on farm profits?YieldWhen looking at the big picture, the number of bushels raised per acre has the biggest profit impact. Growing just one more bushel of corn per acre reduces costs by 3 cents/bushel (1 bushel of soybeans reduces costs by 20 cents/bushel). One bushel more in yield can cover a large fluctuation in fuel and has a big impact in fertilizer cost adjustments.WeatherLarge-scale weather issues in the U.S. or China will have a big impact on the market. And while isolated incidents around the world can cause price volatility, it is usually on a short-term basis. Savvy farmers will be ready to take advantage of those small rallies in their marketing plan as they come available.Developing a market strategy that includes market carry and basis planningAs I continue to explain, having a developed marketing plan that considers the farm operation’s goals and objectives and incorporates market carry and basis strategy should not only bring bigger profits to farm operations, but reduce risk.Bottom-line, rather than spending so much time obsessing over all those headlines, sit down and spend your time developing a more sophisticated marketing strategy. If this makes you nervous or you aren’t sure how to start, consider working with a seasoned grain marketer who can explain the more technical aspects in a way that you can both understand the process, and make you feel comfortable about what you are doing. Often there are options available to farmers that they didn’t even realize. The potential profits available for farmers will likely out-weigh fuel or fertilizer input fluctuations.Jon grew up raising corn and soybeans on a farm near Beatrice, NE. Upon graduation from The University of Nebraska in Lincoln, he became a grain merchandiser and has been trading corn, soybeans and other grains for the last 18 years, building relationships with end-users in the process. After successfully marketing his father’s grain and getting his MBA, 10 years ago he started helping farmer clients market their grain based upon his principals of farmer education, reducing risk, understanding storage potential and using basis strategy to maximize individual farm operation profits.

Canada to restart consultations with Indigenous groups on Trans Mountain
14 Oct 2019 admin
Justin BrakeAPTN NewsCanada announced Wednesday that it will not appeal a federal court’s recent ruling on the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion and says it will re-engage with First Nations and Métis communities impacted by the project.The announcement by Natural Resources Minister Amarjeet Sohi Wednesday morning comes amid ongoing debate around Canada’s duty to consult Indigenous peoples on the pipeline, and on resource projects developed on Indigenous lands more broadly.On Aug. 30 the Federal Court of Appeal ruled on a case brought forth by a number of First Nations, the Cities of Vancouver and Burnaby and the Government of British Columbia that the National Energy Board’s “process and findings were so flawed that the Governor in Council could not reasonably rely on the Board’s report,” and that Canada “failed to fulfil the duty to consult owed to Indigenous peoples.”Responding to that decision on Wednesday Sohi announced the federal government is appointing former Supreme Court of Canada Justice Frank Iacobucci to design and oversee a new consultation process in which Canada will “work to address concerns of First Nations and Métis communities to move forward in the right way on this project in accordance with the Court’s direction.”In May Canada announced it was buying the embattled pipeline—which has faced fierce opposition from Indigenous groups for years while garnering the support from some First Nations and Metis communities—from Texas oil giant Kinder Morgan for $4.5 billion.At that time Indigenous leaders from a host of Nations and communities—and with grassroots people asserting their rights and jurisdiction on the ground in unceded Tsleil-Waututh, Squamish, Musqueam, Sto:lo and Secwepemc territories—vehemently and publicly opposed the Trudeau government’s assertion that it would see the pipeline through to completion.Critics of the project maintain that in building a pipeline through their lands without Indigenous peoples’ free, prior and informed consent violates Aboriginal rights and contradicts Canada’s commitment to upholding the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s calls to action, including the imperative to implement the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. Following the federal court of appeal’s announcement in August Indigenous representatives gathered in Vancouver for a joint news conference. “It was a hard fight, but I’m glad today the courts heard the teachings of our culture, and our spirit, and how we carry ourselves,” Tsleil-Waututh Chief Reuben George announced. “The people up here that represent the nations could have negotiated for millions, but we can’t put a price on the things that we love.”Asked by reporters how Canada will carry out its consultations with Indigenous groups, Sohi said Wednesday the feds “are going to engage in good faith and in a meaningful way,” adding Canada will “offer accommodation where accommodation is possible.”Sohi said the NEB is conducting its own review of marine shipping and the impacts on species at risk.Meanwhile, Canada will begin its consultation process, he added.“We will follow the direction that has been given to us by the federal court, [which] has said that meaningful consultation can take place in a focused and efficient manner. “So with that we’ll be going into the communities with an open mind, and engaging and listening and learning from them, and accepting their help in designing and the input into how we need to move on this important project.”jbrake@aptn.ca@justinbrakenews read more

Utilities commission seeks more data on Site C before final recommendation
VANCOUVER – The BC Utilities Commission has released a preliminary report into the future of the controversial $8.8-billion Site C dam project in the province’s northeast.But the commission said in its report released late Wednesday night that it does not have enough information in several areas to recommend whether the project should proceed.BC Hydro has said it has already spent $1.8 billion on construction for the massive hydroelectric dam, but Premier John Horgan’s NDP government asked the commission to review the economic viability of the project after taking office.The panel did conclude in its preliminary report that as of June 30 when BC Hydro submitted its must recent quarter-end report, the project was on track for its planned completion in 2024, but did not have enough data to determine whether the project is currently on budget,It also said it also does not have sufficient information to predict possible budget overruns once the Site C project is complete, or the total costs for the project in the event it is suspended and restarted later.Hydro’s 866-page submission to the commission said completing the dam as planned would still be best for ratepayers and terminating the project would cost $7.3 billion on a present-value basis.The commission also warned Wednesday night that if a diversion of the Peace River is not achieved in September 2019, the project will not stay within its budget.The commission said it will now conduct an “extensive consultation process” on the preliminary findings and submit a final recommendation on Nov. 1.The BC Hydro submission said demand for electricity is growing and without the dam, the province will face an energy shortfall by 2031.A report submitted for the commission’s review by the auditing firm Deloitte LLP concluded that putting the project on hold until 2025 would cost about $1.4 billion, while cancelling it outright would cost $1.2 billion.The Deloitte report says that the dam’s construction faces major risks including contractor performance problems, unforeseen geotechnical conditions and cost issues related to major contracts that haven’t been awarded yet. read more

Suncor CEO says hes encouraged new pipelines will be built after PMs
“The simple measure will be we want to see shovels in ground and pipelines being built.”Suncor reported that the discount paid for oilsands blend Western Canadian Select compared with New York-traded West Texas Intermediate crude widened to an average of US$24 per barrel in the first quarter, double the US$12 per barrel average in the fourth quarter of 2017.The higher difference is blamed on difficulty in getting heavy crude out of Western Canada because of a lack of pipeline space.Williams said he’s “greatly encouraged” by what Alberta and federal governments are saying recently and believes even the Trans Mountain expansion project will be built, despite proponent Kinder Morgan threatening to abandon it if it isn’t reassured about its construction by the end of May.He said he also believes Enbridge Inc.’s Line 3 pipeline replacement project into the U.S. Midwest will proceed, despite an ongoing disagreement in Minnesota over its routing.Suncor reported lower production in the quarter ended March 31 because of cold weather-related outages at its Base Camp north of Fort McMurray, Alta., and the nearby Syncrude Canada oilsands mine. It said operations returned to normal at Base Camp in February after a water line leak caused a power outage in the upgrader. At Syncrude, a blockage in a bitumen transport line led to the company starting a planned eight-week maintenance shutdown a month early.Total upstream production came in at 689,400 barrels of oil equivalent per day in the first quarter, compared to 725,100 boe/d in the prior year quarter, as oilsands output fell to 404,800 barrels per day from 448,500 bpd.The operations “fell short” of Suncor standards, Williams said on the call, adding, “We need to do better and, be assured, we will.”Suncor reported net earnings fell to $789 million, compared to $1.35 billion in the same period of 2017. CALGARY, A.B. – The CEO of oilsands giant Suncor Energy Inc. says he’s confident new oil pipelines will be built after hosting Prime Minister Justin Trudeau at its newly opened Fort Hills oilsands mine in early April.The message he left with Trudeau was that pipeline access must be assured if the industry is to attract the capital it needs to grow, Steve Williams said on a conference call on Wednesday.“We don’t want these new projects to have to bear the burden of some of these (oil price) differentials,” he said, reiterating Suncor’s commitment to build no new major oilsands projects without new pipelines. Williams said the differential had no impact on Suncor’s earnings, however, because what was lost in the pricing of oilsands was recovered through the company’s marketing and refining operations, which benefited from low-cost feedstock as well as high capacity utilization and profit margins.First-quarter earnings included a $329-million non-cash loss on foreign currency denominated debt.There was also a non-cash gain of $133 million from a deal to buy a 37 percent interest in Canbriam Energy Inc. in exchange for northeastern B.C. mineral land holdings and $52 million.(THE CANADIAN PRESS) read more

Big win honors for Ohio State womens soccer
28 Sep 2019 admin
Ohio State women’s soccer’s season will continue after a big day on and off the pitch. On the field, the No. 21-ranked Buckeyes beat Nebraska, 1-0, in a Big Ten Tournament opening-round match Wednesday to advance to the next round of competition. Off the field, five OSU players received conference honors, the Big Ten announced. OSU, the Big Ten Tournament’s No. 2-seed, got the eventual game-winner from sophomore midfielder Ellyn Gruber just before halftime. Buckeyes freshman goalkeeper Jillian McVicker made one save in the game to help OSU advance. Prior to the game, the Big Ten Conference announced that five OSU players had received honors, including record-setting senior forward Tiffany Cameron. Cameron, along with junior midfielder Danica Wu, was named a first-team All-Big Ten selection to add to her recent success. On Monday, Cameron was named Big Ten Player of the Week for the second consecutive week after scoring twice in a 5-0 win against Indiana to become OSU’s all-time leading goal scorer. After entering the match against the Hoosiers tied with former Buckeyes Lisa Collison and Lara Dickenmann for the all-time goals lead with 35, Cameron grabbed the record herself with two goals in the team’s regular season finale. Wu was a second team All-Big Ten selection last season and earned the first-team honor despite missing four games on international duty with Canada’s U-20 team. OSU senior midfielder/forward Kendyl Reed, McVicker and junior goalkeeper Rachel Middleman were also honored by the conference, according to a Wednesday OSU release. Reed was tabbed a second team All-Big Ten selection after posting one assist in 18 starts for the Buckeyes while McVicker was named to the Big Ten’s All-Freshman Team after allowing just four goals in almost 734 minutes in goal this season. Middleman was the Buckeyes’ sportsmanship honoree. Members of OSU women’s soccer were not immediately made available for The Lantern’s Wednesday request for comment. OSU (14-4-1) will continue Big Ten Conference play Friday against either No. 3-seeded Michigan or No. 6-seeded Wisconsin. Kickoff for the tournament’s semifinal-round game is scheduled for 12:30 p.m. in Bloomington, Ind. read more

Commentary Johnathan Hankins should receive top consideration among defensive linemen
No Ohio State football players were selected in the first round of last year’s draft, but thanks to Johnathan Hankins, the Buckeyes should be represented on the draft’s first day this time around.The junior defensive tackle made an unsurprising decision when he announced Monday he would bypass his senior season and enter the 2013 NFL draft. Hankins, a second-team Associated Press All-American this season, is very likely to be a first-round draft pick.He could even be the first top-10 draft pick from OSU since former defensive lineman Vernon Gholston was selected with the No. 6 overall pick in 2008.Hankins has the measurables and skill set that NFL teams look for in a nose tackle. At a listed weight of 322 pounds, Hankins is a massive man, and with that size comes great strength and power. He supplements that girth with a rare level of quickness and athleticism for a man of his size, which truly makes him a special player and NFL prospect.In order to contain his size and explosive combination of strength and quickness, opposing offensive lines consistently double-teamed Hankins throughout his OSU career.In two full seasons as a starter, Hankins was very productive, picking up 122 tackles and 15 tackles for loss, but much of his impact doesn’t show up on the stat sheet. He is not a great pass-rusher, but by consistently occupying blockers, he frees up lanes for his teammates to make plays.By entering the draft, Hankins enters a class that is highly competitive among defensive tackle prospects. Utah’s Star Lotulelei, Alabama’s Jesse Williams and Georgia’s John Jenkins are all massive but athletic nose tackles like Hankins, and all should be first-round picks. Even with all of that competition to be among the draft’s top picks, it would come as a big surprise if Hankins falls outside of the top 20.Defensive tackles with Hankins’ size, athleticism, ability to impact plays and collegiate productivity don’t come along in every draft class. With the potential to be a top-10 draft choice, it is hard to blame him for choosing to make the jump to the next level. He should have the opportunity to play immediately, and he will get paid for it.By leaving one season early for the NFL, Hankins sacrificed the opportunity to be part of a Buckeyes team expected to make a national championship run in 2013. On the other side of the equation, the Buckeyes lose one of their best defensive players, and will have no returning starters on the defensive line next season.Even with Hankins’ early exit and the graduations of 2012 starters John Simon, Nathan Williams and Garrett Goebel, the Buckeyes should still have a strong defensive line next season. The Buckeyes have done a great job recruiting defensive linemen over the past few years, including sophomore Michael Bennett and freshmen Noah Spence, Adolphus Washington and Tommy Schutt, all of whom played well in limited action this season, and will likely form the Buckeyes’ starting front four next year.Of the four departing linemen, Hankins will be the toughest to replace, as the Buckeyes do not have another player on the roster with Hankins’ combination of size and explosive athleticism. But even with his loss, the Buckeyes have enough talent on defense to be a championship-caliber team in 2013.Hankins has the versatility to excel at the next level in the middle of a three-man defensive front or as one of two defensive tackles in a four-man front. That makes him an attractive option for any team in need of a defensive tackle. Potential teams who could draft Hankins include the Carolina Panthers, Tennessee Titans, New Orleans Saints and Minnesota Vikings.The 2013 NFL draft begins April 25. If not the first defensive tackle selected, Hankins should at least be among the top two or three. read more

Gerrard hopes FC Ufa win redtape race
Rangers Football Club manager Steven Gerrard hopes FC Ufa win their red-tape race ahead of both teams UEFA Europa League playoff clash on Thursday.Gerrard hopes the visa issues facing the Russian club are resolved ahead of their tie on Thursday night.FC Ufa play against Dinamo Moscow today and will plead with the UK Embassy in the Russian capital to speed up their application.“We are actively engaged in trying to obtain British visas,” said FC Ufa President Gazizov, according to Daily Mail.“But everyone must understand it is a very difficult situation. After the game against Dinamo, we will go with our prepared documents to the British Embassy.”“We hope they are able to accelerate the process, but we will know for certain what is happening on Monday. We have been told even the accelerated process takes a minimum of five days, so that would not be enough time for us.” Owen reveals why Liverpool didn’t offer Gerrard a new contract Manuel R. Medina – September 6, 2019 According to Owen, the Reds wanted to sell Gerrard two years before he left the club and that’s why they didn’t offer him a contract renewal.Gerrard, though, doesn’t want any favours from red tape. He is eager for the chance to record another Europa League win and move to the brink of the group stage.“I heard about it just before the game and we will have to wait and see how that pans out,” said the Ibrox boss, speaking after Alfredo Morelos hit a hat-trick in yesterday’s 3-1 win over Kilmarnock in the Betfred Cup.“I hope they get them (visas) and I hope they come. We are in a good place, we are looking forward to the game and the challenge and we want Ibrox to be rocking again for another great European night.”Rangers suffered a blow when Jamie Murphy suffered a potentially serious knee injury at Rugby Park, but Gerrard was otherwise delighted with the display less than 72 hours after a successful trip to Maribor. read more

Arsenal manager Unai Emery says his side will test their progress when they face league leaders Liverpool at Anfield on Saturday.Liverpool moved six points clear at the top of the Premier League after their 4-0 victory against Newcastle United on Wednesday, while Arsenal’s 1-1 draw at Brighton leaves them at fifth place and two points behind Chelsea.Arsenal’s form and performances have been inconsistent so far this season and Emery believes playing Liverpool will be a benchmark for measuring their progress.“It is a very big match for us and them. They are unbeaten this season and will be confident,” Emery told Sky Sports.“For us, it is a big challenge and a good test, of who we are and the difference between them and us. Crouch: Liverpool could beat Man United to Jadon Sancho Andrew Smyth – September 14, 2019 Peter Crouch wouldn’t be surprised to see Jadon Sancho end up at Liverpool one day instead of his long-term pursuers Manchester United.“In the table it is clear but I also want to look on the pitch. We have had one test against them, at the Emirates, which we drew [1-1 in November].“We played a good match but I think in Liverpool it is going to be a different game to the one we played here.” read more

Tuchel pleased with PSGs midfield duo Verratti Paredes
Thomas Tuchel is pleased with how Marco Verratti and Leandro Paredes performed together for the first time in the Paris Saint-Germain midfield.The duo were both handed starts on Saturday night as PSG extended their lead at the top of Ligue 1 to 10 points by beating Nimes 3-0.But the sight of new signing Paredes, who turned down interest from Chelsea in favour of a €45m transfer to PSG from Russian side Zenit in January, performing so well alongside the returning Verratti gave Tuchel plenty to feel positive about.“Both of them played well,” said Tuchel, according to SportsMax.“They played together for the first time.“We can see Leo Paredes is very clever, he likes to make some decisive passes between lines.“Marco is Marco. He can always find a space which is not possible to be found. He finds the key, always. It’s his quality.“They both were doing great. It’s good for Leo as he needs to play more minutes.”Christopher Nkunku gave the French champions a first-half lead before Kylian Mbappe slotted home a brace bring his tally up to 22 goals in just 20 Ligue 1 appearances this season.Now PSG’s focus will be on Tuesday away to Dijon FCO in a Coupe de France quarter-final clash. Opinion: Neymar needs to apologize to PSG’s supporters Tomás Pavel Ibarra Meda – September 14, 2019 After such a dramatic summer during the transfer window, Neymar truly needs to apologize to all the PSG supporters this weekend.When Neymar finished last…“We had a lot of chances to score throughout the game,” added Tuchel.“We could have won by more. Kylian could have scored five goals! Perhaps we lacked a little concentration, but I think we played really well and defended high up the pitch.“The second half was exceptional. It was a great win. The team got stronger and stronger as the game wore on. Now we want to beat Dijon in the Coupe de France.“We haven’t forgotten our elimination in the Coupe de la Ligue against Guingamp. We need to stay calm, stay professional and be ready for Tuesday. It’s a very important match for us.”The Parisians have now made it 10 wins out of 11 matches in all competitions.🔝2⃣2⃣ wins in #Ligue1 this season! 💪🔴🔵 #ICICESTPARIS pic.twitter.com/POZ0fSVE2F— Paris Saint-Germain (@PSG_English) February 23, 2019 read more

The V Sixth Avenue Local was a rapid transit service in the B Division of the New York City Subway. Its route emblem, or "bullet", was colored bright orange since it used the IND Sixth Avenue Line in Manhattan. The V debuted on December 17, 2001 when the connection from the IND 63rd Street Line to the IND Queens Boulevard Line opened as a replacement for the F, which was rerouted via this new connection, on the IND 53rd Street Line. It was eliminated on June 25, 2010 as part of a series of service reductions to close a budget gap. The M was rerouted from Lower Manhattan and South Brooklyn via the Chrystie Street Connection to replace the V, making identical stops except for Second Avenue. Except for a brief period in early 2005, the V had the same service pattern during its eight-and-a-half-year history. It operated weekdays only from approximately 6:30 a.m. to midnight on an entirely underground route between 71st Avenue in Forest Hills, Queens and Second Avenue in Lower East Side, Manhattan.

Lines used 2.1
Stations 2.2
Initial service plan and controversy
A train made of R42 cars in V service at West 4th Street, bound for Second Avenue.
A train made of R32 cars in V service at 23rd Street, bound for Queens.
The V made its debut on December 17, 2001. It was introduced to provide riders at local stations along the IND Queens Boulevard Line with direct service to Manhattan via the IND Sixth Avenue Line, and to resolve overcrowding issues at 23rd Street – Ely Avenue.
The V service added nine additional peak-hour trains coming into Manhattan from Queens Boulevard.[1] However, to make room for V trains on Queens Boulevard, the G train was given a new weekday terminal at Long Island City – Court Square and the F train was re-routed through the 63rd Street Tunnel. In Manhattan, the V and F made identical stops between 47th–50th Streets and the V train's Lower East Side – Second Avenue terminal station.
The new service plan was designed to redistribute Queens-bound passenger loads in the heavily used IND Sixth Avenue corridor, by encouraging use of the additional local trains provided for shorter trips, and to improve service and transfer opportunities for passengers using local stations along Queens Boulevard. The New York Times described the service plan as "complex and heavily criticized." New York Times columnist Randy Kennedy noted, however, that four months after it opened, the service was operating at only 49% of capacity. However, ridership had "increased 30 percent since it began, and every new V rider, as lonely as he or she might be, relieves crowding on the E."[2] Several years experience with the service running, has shown its value and seen further gains. V trains, while by no means consistently full, have taken some load off the F train; however, some riders have complained that the passenger load on the E train has worsened, while others said it has gotten better, due to its becoming the only express train that runs along 53rd Street. The overcrowding on the E train was, in part, due to riders' propensity to board an express even in situations where it offers no real advantage in travel time over the local.[3]
Not all F riders were happy. Columnist Kennedy sought out and interviewed some who were not happy with the V's debut:
Last week, there were two express trains (the E and the F) running along Queens Boulevard to 53rd Street and Lexington Avenue, the station where many people catch the Lexington line. Now, there is only one express (the E) and a local (the V) going to that popular station. And the other express (the F) detours to a less popular station, 63rd and Lexington, where you cannot transfer to the Lexington Avenue Line without walking outside for a few blocks.
So the questions being asked privately, and sometimes very publicly, in Queens stations yesterday were: Do I take a train not going where I'm going and — God forbid — transfer? Do I take a relatively uncrowded train that goes where I'm going but that gives me the scenic tour of subterranean Queens?[4]
On January 23, 2005, a fire destroyed the signal room of Chambers Street on the IND Eighth Avenue Line. V service was temporarily extended to Euclid Avenue until C service was restored on February 2.[5][6]
Merger of V and M trains
In late 2009, the MTA confronted a financial crisis, and many of the same service cuts threatened just months earlier during a previous budget crisis were revisited. One of the proposals included completely phasing out M service and using the V as its replacement. Under this proposal, the V would no longer serve its southern terminus of Lower East Side – Second Avenue. Instead, after leaving Broadway – Lafayette Street, it would use the Chrystie Street Connection, a then-unused track connection between the BMT Nassau Street Line and the IND Sixth Avenue Line, and stop at Essex Street in Manhattan before serving all M stations to Metropolitan Avenue in Queens.
The MTA determined that this move, while still a service cut, would actually benefit M riders, as approximately 17,000 of them traveled to its stations in Lower Manhattan, whereas 22,000 transferred to other lines to reach destinations in Midtown Manhattan.[7] Additionally, this merger would open up new travel options for northern Brooklyn and Queens J/Z riders, in that it would allow direct and more convenient access to areas that are not currently served by those routes such as Midtown Manhattan.
On March 19, 2010, it was decided that the new service pattern would retain the M designation instead, which would now be designated with an orange symbol as an IND Sixth Avenue Line train, while the V designation will be discontinued. Many MTA board members opposed the elimination of the M designation, saying that riders would be more comfortable with an M designation rather than a V designation, and because the M has been around longer than the V.[8][9]
V service ended on June 25, 2010 with the last train leaving Lower East Side – Second Avenue bound for Queens at 11:33 pm.[10]

SALZBURG, AUSTRIA – To complement the experience of the annual Mozart-Week Festival, I visited the nearby Salzkammergut, a picturesque region in Upper Austria with historical ties to Mozart and his family, as well as to other great composers and personages.
One of them, Emperor Franz Josef I, made the Kaiservilla his summer residence. Recalling that opulent villa rekindles an image of hundreds of antlered deer heads mounted on the walls, plus an imposing display of rifles and shotguns. Hunting was a big deal then (and now.)
Moving to the Baroque church of St. Nikolaus in Bad Ischl, an exterior plaque notes that composer Anton Bruckner played its pipe organ.
Time to eat. A delicious lunch of fresh trout at the Hotel im Weissen Rössl am Wolgangsee is enhanced by a scenic view from our table: crystalline waters of Lake Wolfgang framed by snow-capped mountains. On a sunny but chilly winter day, I fantasized being there in summer, when lunch might be preceded by a plunge into the cool lake.
Afterward came a visit to the Mozarthaus St. Gilgen, where Constanze Mozart lived after her husband’s premature death. It has been renovated to house a comprehensive museum archive.
Back in Salzburg, I stroll the sumptuous 17th-Century Residenz, home of Prince-Archbishops, where Mozart performed as a boy. Traversing its ornate halls reminded me of Archbishop Colloredo, scourge of the young Salzburg composer and one of the reasons Mozart decamped to the more promising terrain of Vienna. Then a walk inside the magnificent Salzburg Cathedral served as reminder that Mozart himself trod these same floors, and performed here.
conductor Andrés Orozco-Estrada (R) acknowledges his four vocal soloists after performance of Mozart Requiem with the Vienna Philharmonic
The last music of my visit (not inappropriately) was the Requiem, given in the Haus für Mozart by the Vienna Philharmonic, vocal soloists, and Wiener Singverein, conducted by Andrés Orozco-Estrada (music director of the Houston Symphony.) The Requiem benefited from superlative orchestral playing, as did the works that preceded it: the solemn Adagio and Fugue in C minor; Symphony No. 25 in G minor, and Masonic Funeral Music, K. 477.
Au revoir, Salzburg.

Monday Memo: NYFF Begins, DOC NYC Reveals Short List & International Emmys Name Noms
by Jordan M. Smith | Monday, October 2nd, 2017
Just as The Associated Press proclaimed, last Thursday the curtain went up on a documentary-rich New York Film Festival and much has been written thus far to celebrate. Richard Brody notes in The New Yorker, Travis Wilkerson’s new standalone feature version of DID YOU WONDER WHO FIRED THE GUN? as a festival highlight, along with Varda and JR’s FACES PLACES. In Manohla Dargis‘s preview of this year’s edition for The New York Times she notes, “One program to explore is the Spotlight on Documentary, which features several worthwhile offerings, including ARTHUR MILLER: WRITER and JOAN DIDION: THE CENTER WILL NOT HOLD, two views from the inside.” Questioning the merits and future possibilities of literary docs like these at LitHub, Craig Hubert writes with fervor, “A writer’s work, or the work of a publication, especially over a long career, is slippery and often contradictory, and demands a portrait that challenges this ambivalence. What we get usually is something that acts as a visual Wikipedia page, a series of bullet-point facts presented without a critical eye.” As has become customary, Basil Tsiokos gave a thorough preview of the new nonfiction offerings at the fest via What (not) To Doc, while at Criterion Cast, Joshua Brunsting listed five recommendations to catch, including a trio of docs that top the list.
Just two days after Esquire published Nick Schager’s list of the best documentaries of 2017 so far, DOC NYC announced its 15-film Short List of Oscar contenders along with its TIFF debuted opening-night selection, THE FINAL YEAR. Breaking the news at IndieWire, Anne Thompson pointed out that “Historically, most DOC NYC picks do land on the Academy’s official 15-film Oscar Short List. For the past four years, the Short List had nine to 10 titles overlap, with four or five titles going on to Oscar nominations. For the last six years, DOC NYC screened the documentary that went on to win the Oscar.”
Monday Memo: NYFF & TIFF Add Docs, IDA Gives Filmmaking Advice
by Jordan M. Smith | Monday, August 28th, 2017
With no major theatrical releases and a slew of major festivals on the verge of kicking off, it’s a rather quiet on the nonfiction front. That said, the New York Film Festival did reveal its Spotlight on Documentary lineup, which includes Travis Wilkerson’s True/False alum DID YOU WONDER WHO FIRED THE GUN?, TIFF selections JANE, A SKIN SO SOFT, and BOOM FOR REAL, as well as world premieres of Alison McAlpine’s CIELO, Ena Talakic and Ines Talakic’s HALL OF MIRRORS, and Alex Gibney’s NO STONE UNTURNED, which was previously slated to screen at Tribeca and Hot Docs before it was pulled for undisclosed legal reasons.
After revealing its full program schedule on Tuesday, the Toronto International Film Festival added a handful of last minute special events, including the world premiere of GAGA: FIVE FOOT TWO by Emmy-nominated filmmaker Chris Moukarbel, “a rare snapshot of the raucously public music icon Lady Gaga and the offstage woman that is Stefani Joanne Germanotta,” as well as the world premiere of Brandon and Skyler Gross’ ON MY WAY OUT: THE SECRET LIFE OF NANI AND POPI – the program notes read, “Roman (Popi) and Ruth (Nani) Blank have been married for 65 years, but at age 95, Roman reveals a secret that tests their seemingly invincible union, in Brandon and Skyler Gross’ touching portrait of their grandparents.”
Though the Locarno International Film Festival wrapped up a couple weeks back, at the fest IndieWire’s Irina Trocan discovered a handful of films that represent modern domestic life in new ways, including a trio of films to soon screen at TIFF – Xu Bing’s DRAGONFLY EYES, Ben Russell’s GOOD LUCK, and Wang Bing’s MRS. FANG. On a similar wavelength, Cara Buckley thoroughly examined the many current docs that are exploring the pain of racism for The New York Times, noting “A burst of new films, many of them documentaries, are taking a deep look beyond the headlines at the lasting impact that racial schisms and racism have on Americans’ everyday lives.”
Monday Memo: Docs & Politics + DOC NYC PRO Lineup Revealed
by Jordan M. Smith | Monday, August 21st, 2017
In a busy week for nonfiction cinema news, Vice’s incredible coverage of the horrific events that took place in Charlottesville, Virginia, miraculously encapsulated in the 22 minute short CHARLOTTESVILLE: RACE AND TERROR (watched over 5 million times on YouTube at this point) is undoubtedly the lead this week. In response to Trump’s appalling press conference following the events, “16 out of 17 members of the President’s Committee on the Arts and the Humanities resigned and asked the president to do the same. The White House advisory council is dedicated to cultural issues including arts funding, economic promotion of the arts and arts education among other responsibilities,” reports Salon’s Gabriel Bell. Ruminating on these events, Jude Dry of IndieWire called WHOSE STREETS? “essential cinema” “for the Charlottesville Resistance.”
Almost facetiously, at The Guardian, Rebecca Nicholson asked, “Why political documentaries are storming the screens,” just as James Luxford posed the question, “What impact do environmental documentaries really have?” at Little White Lies. Meanwhile at IndieWire, Oscar nominated filmmaker Roger Ross Williams wrote about how Full Frame Documentary Festival’s new School of Doc program is attempting to address issues with race in the doc world, describing it as “a program that empowered minority students to tell their own stories, and to expose them to future career opportunities.”
In other film festival news, DOC NYC revealed its initial schedule for this year’s DOC NYC PRO, an 8-day conference “featuring documentary panels and master classes, including an expanded initiative to support works-in-progress with a section called “Only in New York.” DOC NYC also announced this year’s Lifetime Achievement Award honorees at the 4th annual Visionaries Tribute would be Sheila Nevins and Errol Morris. Selina Chignall unpacked the announcements over at Realscreen.
Monday Memo: DOC NYC Names Short List as Ava DuVernay’s 13TH Debuts at NYFF
by Jordan M. Smith | Monday, October 3rd, 2016
Amidst a rather busy week of the doc circuit, DOC NYC revealed its Oscar predicting 2016 Short List, naming 15 films to screen at the festival with the director or other special guests present. As Anne Thompson noted in her coverage of the announcement at IndieWire, last year the DOC NYC Short List had ten titles overlapping the subsequent Oscar Documentary Short List. Among this year’s selection was Ava DuVernay’s incisive Netflix prison doc 13TH, which opened the New York Film Festival on Friday night to a standing ovation and a shower of glowing reviews. At IndieWire, Eric Kohn called the film “the most relevant movie of the year.” The Guardian’s Jordan Hoffman wrote that its “an articulate, no-nonsense cup of iced water splashed in my face telling me to wake the f-ck up.” Even Manohla Dargis of The New York Times fully endorsed DuVernay’s film, calling it “powerful, infuriating and at times overwhelming…(while it) challenges your ideas about the intersection of race, justice and mass incarceration in the United States.” Similarly rhapsodic reviews were logged by Vikram Murthi at Movie Mezzanine, Odie Henderson at RogerEbert.com, Richard Brody of The New Yorker, and Steven Zeitchik of The Los Angeles Times. You can watch the press conference with DuVernay herself over at the Film Society of Lincoln Center’s website.
Of course, there are other docs on offer this year at NYFF, as Basil Tsiokos made abundantly clear in his overview of the nonfiction offerings at What (not) To Doc. Likewise, the staff at IndieWire listed seven docs to catch at the fest if you’re able, including Kasper Collin’s I CALLED HIM MORGAN, which Richard Brody, a jazz diehard, seems to have loved. Also kicking off on Friday was the International Documentary Association’s three day Getting Real conference, which a handful of diligent members of The D-Word live blogged (in three separate categories – sustainability, diversity, other conference happenings). Leading up to the conference, Realscreen published a piece by the founding members of the NYC Doc Producer’s Alliance on issues surrounding industry and career sustainability. Meanwhile across the pond, Christine Bardsley recommended a trio of docs to watch at the upcoming London Film Festival via BFI.
Our fall season of Stranger Than Fiction celebrating the documentary work of Jonathan Demme continues tomorrow at IFC Center with SWIMMING TO CAMBODIA. Director Jonathan Demme, as well as producer Renée Shafransky, will be on hand to discuss the film in a post-screening Q&A. Tickets for the screening are still available here.
Monday Memo: Doc Filmmakers Stand for #RightToRecord, TIFF Docs Slate Revealed
The line between art, politics and journalism are continually open to inquiry within the realm of documentary filmmaking. Those lines were valiantly breached last Wednesday at The Talkhouse when David Felix Sutcliffe, co-director of the remarkable and horrifying film (T)ERROR, posted an open letter to the doc community calling for the end of systematic targeting of citizen journalists who’ve documented disgraceful abuses of power by police. A formal statement composed by the International Documentary Association addressed to Department of Justice and signed by a considerable list of doc filmmakers that includes Laura Poitras, Barbara Kopple, Steve James, Joshua Oppenheimer, the entire Kartemquin team and many others, asks for the investigation of “other instances of police violence captured on video by citizens, and what consequences they may have faced” in an effort to “expand our awareness of the problem and take stock of the damages.” Whether filmmaker or concerned citizen, you can show your support for the #RightToRecord by adding your name to the petition here.
While not the central theme, a handful of activist films were among the lineup of the TIFF Docs program revealed this past week, including Steve James’ ABACUS: SMALL ENOUGH TO JAIL, Raoul Peck’s I AM NOT YOUR NEGRO, Fernando León de Aranoa’s POLITICS, INSTRUCTIONS MANUAL and Kief Davidson and Richard Ladkani’s THE IVORY GAME. At Indiewire, Anne Thompson took a tour through the lineup with our own Thom Powers, whom programmed the TIFF Docs program, while Kate Erbland reported on the initial announcement. Reflecting on Toronto’s A-list doc lineup, Tom Roston gave a first look of the offerings at Doc Soup, Steven Zeitchik did the same in The Los Angeles Times, and Kevin Ritchie followed suit at Realscreen. Noting the prominence of Netflix productions among the lineup, Matthew Jacobs gave the scoop on the four docs at Huffington Post, including Werner Herzog’s long in production volcano film, INTO THE INFERNO. And on the topic of the Bavarian filmmaker, Herzog showed up this week at The Daily Beast, offering his appreciative thoughts on Kanye West’s controversial FAMOUS music video.
The New York Film Festival also revealed their main slate, adding to their already intriguing doc lineup with Gianfranco Rosi’s Golden Berlin Bear winner FIRE AT SEA and revival screenings of Barbara Kopple’s Oscar winning HARLAN COUNTY, U.S.A. The latest edition of IndieWire’s Screen Talk podcast discusses the lineups of both TIFF and NYFF.

Humans! Tutor Computers And Robots In Your Spare Time
It may seem like a want ad from the future, but there are positions available now for humans to tutor computer systems in identifying common objects.
Consider the ESP Game, created by Luis von Ahn, an assistant professor at Carnegie Mellon's School of Computer Science. The "game" tricks two gullible human beings into trying to guess what the other is thinking when looking at a particular image. The real intent of the game is to improve the ability of computers to perform Internet image search by generating descriptions of uncaptioned images.
New kinds of games are available, like Tag a Tune, that lets humans describe songs to computers, and Squigl, that encourages frail humans to trace the outlines of objects in photographs to help powerful computers.
Another version of this idea is Amazon's Mechanical Turk program, which provides a programmers API to let computers ask human beings to perform a task - like object identification - that computers are not very good at.
Computers love to digitize books - when a modern font is used with a clear graphic capture, that is. When it comes to older manuscripts, there is another CMU program that uses specialized CAPTCHAs (Completely Automated Turing Test To Tell Computers and Humans Apart) called reCAPTCHAS to help computers perform optical character recognition on old books. The little word fragments are taken from books; the method is working - about one million words per day are being deciphered for CMU's book archiving project.
(CAPTCHA-based human-aided Optical Character Recognition)
As far as I know, the first person who suggested this general idea is Harry Harrison, who wrote about it in his 1956 story The Velvet Glove.
"... whenever a robot finds something it can't identify straight off... it puts whatever it is in the hopper outside your window. You give it a good look, check the list for the proper category if you're not sure, then press the right button and in she goes." An hour passed before he had his first identification to make. A robot stopped in mid-dump, ground its gears a moment, and then dropped a dead cat into Carl's hopper... Something heavy had dropped on the cat, reducing the lower part of its body to paper-thinness.
Castings... Cast Iron... Cats... There was the bin number. Nine.
(Read more about human-based object recognition)
Via Roland; read more about how CAPTCHAs help preserve books and more games with a purpose at Carnegie Mellon University.

Playlist: Remy's Best of International Playlist - Issue #004
King Fantastic
Info: The latest Issue of Remy's Music & Film's round-up of the best independent music from Ireland and around the globe is here. We open with the soft rhythmic sounds of Copenhagen's Rainbrother and their latest track, 'Riverside'. Former The Migrant frontman Bjarke Bendtsen's new band will be releasing their debut album, Tales From The Drought in February, 2017. After that we have the hugely popular 'Bonfire Sessions' from L.A.'s King Fantastic, taken from their excellent first album, Finger Snaps & Gun Claps, the track get's an overhaul courtesy of a remix by Troublemaker.
The third track comes via Californian label Hit City USA which has an endlessly deep well of excellent acts on their roster, with an electro-pop 80's homage by Shy Girls in the shape of their ode to nihilism, 'Trivial Motion'. A track which particularly piqued my interest was the drone sounds of Sydney's CDAD and his tripped out electronic number, 'Cleaning The Elephant', top tune.
Rainbrother - Photo: Jesper Helbo
Representing the Irish contingent are Dublin psychedelic band Tomorrows who just released their debut album, Another Life, and their Kinks meet contemporary indie-folk such as Grizzly Bear on featured track, 'Golden Lion', on other tracks they veer closer to dream-pop sounds á la Beach House, a nice mix indeed. We also have the latest single, 'Idle Man' from another Dublin folk act, Buffalo Sunn whose star is rising rapidly here on the domestic music scene, the five-piece, who I've been lucky enough to see live, go with a country-rock feel, some lovely slide guitar and a musing on the life of a solitary character.
The next track is an interesting one, Australian Daniel Rorke, who lectures in jazz here in Ireland, and his Norwegian bandmates, perform under the name of The Dark. The saxophonist brings us 'Milk Boy' from their self-titled album which is due for release shortly. Accompanied by Aksel Jensen on bass and Ole Mofjell on drums, the Trondheim jazz school 'Jazzlinja' alumni plan a tour of Ireland and the UK in early 2017.

Los Angeles psychedelic five-piece Send Medicine give us the truly delightful late-60's throwback of 'Translucent', if this song doesn't chill you out and give you the warm and fuzzy feels you might need to go and see your doctor, diagnosis, dead inside. Another L.A.-based act, who previously featured in one of our early Playlists, is the delightfully experimental and unique SWIMM, and their latest single, 'Groupie', a swirling piece of electronic pop, their track 'Man's Man' takes a wry look at some of the bizarre and normalised behaviours they observe in their current city.
As always I like to finish my Playlist with a bang, and that comes out of my favourite English city, Liverpool. For fans of Wolf Alice and Alt-J comes the indie-rock wonder, 'Losing Your Love' from Paris Youth Foundation, an instantly enjoyable and energetic piece of music, it's also their debut double A-Side single which will officially be released on the 2nd of December, including on 7" wax, respect.

The Top 100 NGOs 2013
by The Global Journal January 22, 2013
The Global Journal is proud to announce the release of the second edition of its annual Top 100 NGOs special issue. The only international ranking of its kind, this exclusive feature reflects the increasing global influence of NGOs in all facets of modern life, in the process shining a light on a dynamic, innovative and inspiring sector estimated by the Public Interest Registry (PIR) to encompass close to 10 million organizations. In the multilateral context alone, the number of UN-accredited NGOs had risen from 40 in 1945 to 3,536 by the end of 2011. The Top 100 NGOs ranking will inform policy-makers, business, academics and non-profit leaders.
Continuing to refine its evaluation methodology, The Global Journal considered a pool of approximately 450 NGOs this year based on three key criteria: impact, innovation and sustainability. For some organizations, these changes have resulted in a climb up the ranking, for others, a no doubt unwelcome slide. Beyond the fortunes of individual NGOs, however, the following are some key takeaways from the 2013 list:
While the overall top 10 continues to be dominated by major international development and humanitarian NGOs, the most innovative NGOs reflected a more diverse mix of education, peacebuilding, environment and health activities.
The best represented sub-sectors overall were Development (23), followed by Health (17), Education (15), Children & Youth (13), Environment (10) and Peacebuilding (10).
While the United States again outpaced other countries in geographical terms – with one-third of the NGOs headquartered there – another third of the NGOs featured were based in developing countries, led by India (6), Brazil (5) and Kenya (4). Only the United Kingdom (11) and Switzerland (9) outperformed these emerging actors, while major donors like France (2) and Germany (1) were only a marginal presence in the list.
Beyond profiles of the 100 NGOs that made it into the 2013 edition of the ranking, The Global Journal’s Top 100 NGOs special issue also features a fascinating history of international NGOs by Thomas Davies, an eyewitness account of the ‘dark side’ of NGOs in post-earthquake Haiti by Jonathan M Katz, a thought-provoking essay on the globalization of ideas by Harvard professor David Armitage, a worrying report from Laurent Vinatier on Europe’s ‘last dictatorship’ in Belarus, an exclusive interview with leading historian Mark Mazower on the past and future of global governance and an evocative photo essay by Daniel Blaufuks capturing the everyday beauty of today’s Iran.
Further information – including regarding the evaluation methodology – is available here.

Elizabeth I (1533-1603)
The Virgin Queen, Gloriana or Good Queen Bess, the childless Elizabeth was the fifth and last monarch of the Tudor dynasty.
Elizabeth was the daughter of Henry VIII by second wife, Anne Boleyn, who was executed two and a half years after Elizabeth's birth. Anne's marriage to Henry VIII was annulled, and Elizabeth was declared illegitimate. Her half-brother, Edward VI, ruled until his death in 1553, bequeathing the crown to Lady Jane Grey and ignoring the claims of his two half-sisters, Elizabeth and the Roman Catholic Mary, in spite of statute law to the contrary. Edward's will was set aside and Mary became queen, deposing Lady Jane Grey. During Mary's reign, Elizabeth was imprisoned for nearly a year on suspicion of supporting Protestant rebels.

Elizabeth of York (11 February 1466 - 11 February 1503)
was queen consort of England from 1486 until her death. As the wife of Henry VII, she was the first Tudor queen. She was the daughter of Edward IV, niece of Richard III and married the king following Henry's victory at the Battle of Bosworth which ended the Wars of the Roses. She was the mother of Henry VIII.
Elizabeth of York, Queen of England
(19 August 1596 - 13 February 1662) was, as the wife of Frederick V, Elector Palatine, Electress Palatine, and briefly, Queen of Bohemia. Due to her husband’s reign in Bohemia lasting for just one winter, Elizabeth is often referred to as The Winter Queen. She was the second child and eldest daughter of James VI and I, King of Scots, England, and Ireland, and his wife, Anne of Denmark. She was also the granddaughter of Mary, Queen of Scots. She was four years older than her brother Charles, who became Charles I of England, Scotland, and Ireland.

The Assassination
of God's Character
Updated 21 June, 2008
Does God originate destruction? Were there times when God struck sinners dead or sent destructive plagues?
Did God order the Israelites to commit genocide against the Canaanite tribes -i.e. to kill all the men, women, children and infants (but permitted young virgins to live)? If so, how do you relate to that aspect of God's character?
The Assassination of God's Character (Volumes 1 & 2), investigates whether God was really involved in these atrocities or whether human beings have been actively persuaded to believe these things as part of a most dangerous - almost perfect- deception.
Volume 1 (direct link) discusses and compares the two basic but opposing principles operating in the world today.
Volume 2 (direct link) answers objections which have arisen in the study on this important subject.
(Please note that the author of this book, does not hold the view that the wicked are not eternally destroyed, or that the entire world is saved. This subject is discussed in detail. Research references given throughout the book).
Identifying the Unknown God
Updated 25 November, 2006
The traditional doctrinal of the Trinity makes some serious claims about God Who He is and the calibre of His character.
These beliefs typically have serious consequences for God's people who are living at this explosive period of earth's history.
This book attempts to set out some of the consequences that arise from holding to a trinitarian view of the Christian God.
This is available in both SDA (direct link) and Non-Denominational (direct link) versions.
Pornography and Sex Crimes: The Link: the new 40 minute DVD from Australian Federation for the Family. http://www.ausfamily.org/
Look, but don't Touch? - Is voyeurism (sexual peeping) in the churches harmless? Is exhibitionism (flaunting it) in the churches harmless? What does the One True God say about voyeurism and exhibitionism? This paper examines these issues.
Correcting the Rod of Correction - Many Christian parents have prayed and agonised over how to raise godly children, but they have seen their children grow up and discard the family's faith. Parents have claimed the promise Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it (Proverbs 22:6), but the children have departed from the faith. What went wrong? God's promises don't fail so what did fail? This article attempts to answer this puzzling question.
Unity in Separation - When God's people become aware that the trinity is not the One True God of the Bible, should they remain in trinitarian churches, joined in worship with Trinitarians? Should they join in the worship of the trinitarian god by singing hymns, saying amen in prayers to the trinitarian god and in celebrating the Lord's Supper with trinitarian ceremonies? Should they be undercover agents, giving a pretence that they hold to the church's fundamental principles, when in reality they reject the central doctrine of the faith the doctrine that describes who God is?
Marital Bliss After Divorce - What is the true Biblical position on divorce and remarriage? The Biblical evidence challenges the traditionally held view that Jesus supposedly taught remarriage is forbidden except in cases of adultery.
What was God's original plan for marriage?
What constitutes a scriptural marriage?
What constitutes a scriptural divorce?
What is a non-Scriptural divorce?
Does God permit and sanction remarriage after a non-scriptural divorce?

Tommy TC Carlsson
About Tommy
About Tommy TC Carlsson
Tommy TC Carlsson, Swedish painter and graphic artist. Born 1958 and lives in Långasjö, Småland and Stockholm. 1977 basic artistic education, at the art school of Öland. Ever since the early 1970s, he was given the nickname "TC", and uses it to sign his works. Tommy started to paint and quickly gained a special expressive Power. On the initiative of his teachers he was given a schoolarship for his further artistic education. During his education he developed a passion for representational art. The Dutch paintings of the 17th Century as well as Lifes were especially interesting for him. This established form of representional art with its traditional artists became a challenge for Tommy and at the same time was the entrance into his own oeuvre.
Tommy chose his motifs from his personal Environment. Often these were items with notable traces of the course of time, wich stands in a special perspective for the Viewer through a clever composition of the painting.
Over many years of his first creative period a certain guideline phrased by Tommy >TC< Carlsson himself, shaped his style of painting: "My still Lifes are composed of old objects, wich have been affected by the tooth of time for many years. With atmosphere and mysteriousness I am trying to sell you a story. A symbolic painting, free to interpret."
Works with precise, plane backgrounds emerged, mostly with wooden panels. Subsequently Tommy, in a large number of his work, placed the objects in the forground and chose free background designs - whilst not using a Concrete room situation. The specialty of these works is that the room is only indicated through shadow and light, shine and feebleness on the items themselves or in the direct background of the objects. In this way Tommy created a raltionship of tension within his works which inspired many of the lovers of this art.
Stimulated by educational journeys and the participation at various art fairs Tommy increasingly changed the objects in his works and temporarily accentuated the symbolism as well as individual parts of objects. the continous advancement of his style of painting ultimately led to a complete focussing on the object.
For a number of years the main focus of Tommy >TC< Carlsson has been a style of painting orientated towards trompe-óeil. By playing with the deception of cognition, he found new ways of attracting the gaze of his viewers.
Tommy designs this game with a special humour. Behind the directly ascertainable, quasi tangible, figurative reality of his objects, manifold hints and allusions become visible. They enable a contact between the artist and the viewer, an optic interaction. In this way the works of Tommy >TC< Carlsson show a clourful reality, wich connects the past, the present and a future-oriented fantasy wich makes curious.

UK Channel Four Dispatches Returns to the Mosques of Britain…….
By KGSaccess_time11 years agochat_bubble_outlineLeave a comment
Imagine the surprise and shock of the Channel Four investigative journalist that: “NOTHING HAS CHANGED”!
A return to the mosques of Britain is just what the doctor has ordered, becuase you see, it keeps the leaders of the mosques on thier toes. Perhaps after this investigative segement is aired tonight, the leaders of Britain’s Islamic communities won’t be so quick to cry ..”Racism and IslamOphobia” Oh My!
Undercover Mosque: The Return
A year-and-a-half after the critically-acclaimed film Undercover Mosque was first screened, Dispatches goes undercover again to see whether extremist beliefs continue to be promoted in certain key British Muslim institutions. The film also investigates the role of the Saudi Arabian religious establishment in spreading a hard-line, fundamentalist Islamic ideology in the UK – the very ideology the Government claims to be tackling.
A female reporter attends prayer meetings at an important British mosque which claims to be dedicated to moderation and dialogue with other faiths. She secretly films shocking sermons given to the women-only congregation in which female preachers recite extremist and intolerant beliefs. As hundreds of women and some children come to pray, a preacher calls for adulterers, homosexuals, women who act like men and Muslim converts to other faiths to be killed, saying: “Kill him, kill him. You have to kill him, you understand. This is Islam.
“Worshippers are repeatedly told they must lead separate lives from non-believers and not tolerate other religions. Christian teachings are described as “vile and disgusting, an abomination.” And at private, invite-only prayer meetings linked to the mosque, the reporter films the leading preacher from the women’s prayer circle issuing strict dictats on women’s personal freedoms – decreeing they must not travel far without a male member of the family to escort them, and instructing them not to integrate with British society or work in a non-Islamic environment.In the same mosque, the reporter visits the bookshop and discovers books and DVDs still on sale, promoting extremist, anti-Semitic, misogynistic and intolerant messages. Unbelievers (‘kuffaars’) are described in one DVD as: “Evil, wicked, mischievous people – you can see the evil in their face”. Whilst Jews, “have abominated, filthy, disgusting gross belief – their time will come like every other evil person’s time will come.” Moderate Muslims and Islamic academics tell Dispatches they reject and condemn these teachings. Dispatches traces the links between the teachings and materials at the mosque and the Saudi Arabian religious establishment, and examines the extent to which Saudi Arabia exports such teachings around the world through the funding of literature, schools, mosques and other organisations.
Oh, and don’t forget the moderates and Islamic academics! They say they condemn the harsh teachings, but just happen to fail in mentioning exactly where these preachers of hate and fear get their prophet’s words and teachings all wrong. Do they in fact openly distance themselves from Mohamed’s racist, violent teachings…or do they just speak ambiguously about the Qur’an and that it actually preaches a message of peace and love”? There is much much more, just click here and see for yourself.
The Telegraph has it here as well:
“Friendship with non-Muslims is discouraged because “loyalty is only to the Muslim, not to the kaffir [disbeliever]”. A woman who was friendly with a non-Muslim woman was heavily criticised: “It’s part of Islam, of the correct belief, that you love those who love Allah and that you hate those who hate Allah.”
One preacher even says Muslims shouldn’t live in Britain at all: “It is not befitting for Muslims that he should reside in the land of evil, the land of the kuffaar, the land of the disbelievers.” Another, Um Saleem, says Muslims should not take British citizenship as their loyalty is to Allah. “Some conditions can take you into disbelief, to take the British citizenship, whether you like it or not, for these people, you are selling your religion, it’s a very serious thing, it is not allowed to give allegiance to other than Allah.”
Their teachings shocked me. This was not the Islam that I and many other Muslims in the UK were taught as youngsters, nor is it a version that most Muslims follow.”
Ah but you see, regardless of whether it was taught in the past or not, it’s right there, smack dab in the middle of gentile old Britain. The reason behind this that the non-violent Islam practiced by most of Britain’s Muslims, is just a watered down version of what the prophet of Islam himself both lived and taught others. The Muslim believers in the watered down version of their prophet’s religion, have nothing to offer their violent, racist coreligionists, in the way of defense of their non-violent, secular behaviour and outlooks.
It’s why they (the believers in a watered down version of the prophet’s religion) have lost one mosque after another to the Islamist supremacists, and are presently either in denial (offering apologetics) or leading the charge of “IslamOphobia and racism”.
For anyone not familiar with the Dispatches series, the Tundra Tabloids reposts the entire series. KGS

TT: First of all, how have you guys been doing?
Luke: Yeah, we’re doing alright. It’s quite tough when you’re starting up a band because nothing seems like it’s happening at all until you actually start launching it. So, it’s all very much behind the scenes, but we’re ready to burst onto the scene now, aren’t we?
Ben D: Yeah, I agree with Luke because it’s been frustrating, especially with family members, because you go round at Christmas and Christmas is a horrible one sometimes because they’re like, “What you doing now with the music?” and it’s like, “Not much to be honest with you, just with my mates writing some average tunes” haha. Even though it’s been frustrating, it’s nice that it’s finally all coming out and I’m excited to play.
Matt: Choosing what clothes you wanna wear is the main bit.
TT: And we have got a new band member, introduce yourself.
Ben H: I’m Ben, nice to meet you. I’m good yeah, haven’t played much music for a while so it’s nice to get back into really.
Matt: He’s always complaining about how loud it is, saying it’s too loud and that.
Ben H: I like serenity and that.
Ben D: He thought he was joining like an acoustic trio.
Matt: Acoustic blues band haha.
Ben D: That’s how we advertised it!
TT: What prompted the new project?
Ben D: Well yeah, it was getting sort of internally quiet and stale and we felt that we just needed a bit of a refresh so I think we decided before everyone else knew that we were ending [Idle Frets]. When we decided, we knew we were going to do something else, we didn’t know quite what but we just thought give it a bit of time and it’ll sort itself out. And then we got Mr Ben here, younger brother of RIP Dave Hennessy (previous band member). So we just sort of let it happen, rather than push it and rush it. Obviously there was no point us going to do a reset if we didn’t know what we were getting into.
TT: Is there any family resemblance between Luna Kings and Idle Frets?
Luke: I think for anyone who has listened to Idle Frets, will hear hints of it because obviously it’s the same songwriter, same vocals but we’ve packed more of a punch I’d say. Like people that we’ve shown it to can tell it’s the same background but it’s a bit more heavier.
Ben D: We’ve got more balls to it!
TT: What inspired the name?
Ben D: It’s a strange thing to think of, a band name, because it’s like, ‘What do you call it?’. Because some things can sound really naff and like out of context, unless you’re a really big and cool band. So whatever we were coming up with, we were like, ‘Oh we don’t like it’. And I think it got to a point where it was like, the idea behind it was Luna – being the greek goddess of the moon. So the theory of that was, was that the moon always follows the sun, so we thought this is the project [Luna Kings] that’s going to follow the sun, being our first project [Idle Frets]. That’s where the Luna bit came about, I wanted to just call it Luna.
Matt: But there is also a really good artist already called Luna
Ben D: So we thought we’d make it a bit more masculine and add ‘Kings’ on the end, that’s the only reason it’s on there really. It’s not ‘cause we think we’re royalty!
TT: Are there any artists that take credit for the influence towards Luna Kings?
Matt: Idle Frets haha.
Ben D: I think the general basis, when we were in Idle Frets when that question was presented, was kind of like we all just like different things. Like we brought to the party, what we all liked to the party. So I guess it’s still that theory in mind, but just a bit more ballsier, more focused on the live scene and getting a bit more party atmosphere. More of the pop side of indie-pop than indie-rock, so it’s all leaned back the other way now.
Luke: With Idle Frets, I think we were always continuing to find our sound, but now we knew what it is we wanted to do and every song sounds a bit more coherent now. Because you listen to the old stuff and you would listen to one sound and it would sound completely different to the next.
Ben D: The new songs do go off like.
TT: How would you say you have evolved in this new project?
Ben D: How have you evolved Matt, you’ve been very quiet in the corner?
Luke: He used to be a Pikachu and now he’s like a Raichu
Matt: Basically, I’m just the same person. On a real note, it’s all fresh stuff so when I came to Idle Frets I was playing a lot of Erin’s (previous band member) old parts as well. So it’s kind of like the freedom to do my own stuff without the restriction because the songs were already released. So now this is all kind of my works. The only restriction is Ben [D] saying that’s s*** haha.
Luke: It’s alright, he says it to everyone.
Ben D: To be fair, I’ll say that to myself to get a bit of confidence back in my writing.
TT: Are there any local influences you have?
Luke: I can think of 2 straight of the bat: Clean Cut Kid and The Night Cafe.
Ben D: Yeah not that we want to sound exactly like that but the atmosphere and the environment that they create at their live gigs. They’re light-hearted but still upbeat, everyone is like fully into it. We’ve been trying to write songs that creates that sort of environment I guess. You always go to a gig of theirs and everyone is fully into and the reason for that is quite upbeat songs and really energetic and quite honest with the audience. I think we’ve always tried to do that with Frets and we want of keep that going.
Luke: Also the real aim is to have someone say, ’Oh that sounds like Luna Kings’, not that it sounds like a bit of everyone.
Ben D: Yeah because I think some guitar bands have fallen off the radar a bit.
TT: Yeah you can make the same riff 10 times over but it’s how to make it your own riff]
Matt: That’s deep that, I like that.
TT: Is there anything you guys are nervous about going into Luna Kings?
Luke: Just hope it doesn’t fall flat on it’s a*** I think haha. Back to the day jobs boys!
Ben D: I’m quite nervous for the in between songs for sets because when we were doing the old stuff, I almost knew what I was going to say because we’d done it so often. Tonight is going to be a bit of an enigma, I have no idea what’s going to happen, I could just curl up and be like ‘Erm next song is this…’. So yeah I’m a bit nervous about getting back and trying to speak to an audience. I have got loads of dad jokes lined up though.
Luke: The less said the better.
TT: And for the final question, are you excited at all?
Ben D: So excited!
Luke: Yes!
Matt: Can’t wait.
Ben D: I’m excited because no one knows the songs and it’ll be good from people not knowing the songs because I know I’m going to mess up at some point but nobody will know! If I remember 50% of the words tonight, I’ll be happy. There’s a song we were writing and rehearsing yesterday and there’s not a chance in hell I’ll remember the words.
Luna Kings are fresh off their debut live concert in the Shipping Forecast and are ready for the world to see what they’ve got. With their live show going off with such immense reception, we can’t wait to see what else they’re going to hit us with next.
Make sure to keep updated on their social media for any upcoming shows, news and events!

FASNACHT & THE BODY'S NEED FOR DARKNESS
i've been searching for the origin of why, for as long as i can remember, every february of every year, i would experience a severe deathwishism. a pattern i had not noticed until 3 years ago when it got so severe, that a month-long mantra began:
do not hit yourself in the head with that hammer
this feeling will pass
do nothing rash
on march 1st
remember february last
i had remained convinced that it was yet another childhood trauma that might never be discovered. i even asked my parents about chronological events, which of course, produced no results.
this morning, while watching a documentary about jung called "the wisdom of dreams", there was a scene of basel fasnacht, the yearly festival in switzerland, germany and some parts of the netherlands in which the city turns out all of it's street lights and for 3 days celebrates the end of winter and the coming of spring. predating christianity, it has been incorporated into the week before lent when all pantries are emptied of sweets and fats and consumed in feast - similar to fat tuesday, also called dirty thursday. most other festivals during the year are male-dominated, but fasnacht enters as the woman in black, she is allowed to kiss every man she sees and cuts the ties of all businessmen that cross her path as this is her celebration of the non-workday. it is also imbued with open mockery of political figures, and allows people to speak truths while wearing hilarious and grotesque masks and marching through a flurry of confetti to the cocaphany of drums and piccolos wailing.
it was a scene of the fantastically painted lanterns, spinning from out of the dark alleyways at the festival's start time of 4am that triggered this memory of The Something That Caused Deathwish February, for without an annual celebration of Truth, Liberation, Free Speech, Mockery Thru Art and The Small Beautiful Light In The Sea Of Total Darkness that Fasnacht represents during the first four years of my life, i sensed subconsciously that something was not getting expressed or released at this time, and would then, like clockwork, turn inward and attempt to self-destruct.
in the same way that the disneyland ride "it's a small world" seems boring to an adult, to a child in the darkness, trapped in a small boat, surrounded by strange faces singing funny and frightening songs, it is a nightmare...and nightmares are the key to awakening lucid dreams, those dreams then bring you to the doorway of the higher mind, whereupon the realm of collective consciousness is discovered.

FEATURE HOMEPAGE
Meet Melissa Butler, Founder of The Lip Bar
October 23, 2019 Upscale
Frustrated with the chemical-laden options available at beauty counters, Melissa Butler started making her own lipsticks in her kitchen. The Detroit native and FAMU graduate initially started her career as a stockbroker on Wall Street. Seven years later The Lip Bar is available on the shelves at Target, has a brick-and-mortar store in Detroit and recently debuted its first skin product, Fresh Glow, a bronzer and blush duo.
Tell us more about what inspired you to create The Lip Bar products.
In 2011, everyone was chasing this idea of what it meant to be beautiful. And this idea of beauty wasn’t inclusive of what most of the world looked like. It didn’t include me, my friends or my family. Beauty was being touted as something to achieve not something that was within, and it bothered me to my core. I was downright frustrated with the lack of inclusivity represented in beauty campaigns and the excess amounts of chemicals found in the products we were using. So what I set out to create in 2012 was a company that would be the best of all worlds.
Inclusive, high-quality ingredients, affordable, high-performance, cruelty free, literally, everything. I figured, if nowhere else, your beauty would be validated at The Lip Bar. Seven years later, that’s still why I do what I do.
What sets your brand and products apart from others?
When I started The Lip Bar, it was always my goal to serve the community that has typically been overlooked and ignored. And it’s not just black women. It’s plus-sized women, women of different religious backgrounds, Asian women—basically, any women who didn’t fit into the classic European beauty theology were underserved.
And it has always been my passion to remind them that they are beautiful as is. So when I started The Lip Bar, it was always a goal to break that glass ceiling, to break down that stereotype, to be the change I wanted to see. Our campaigns push boundaries and break “norms.” Through our images, we show women of every color, all ethnicities, shapes, religions, sexual orientations and sizes. We aren’t afraid to break tradition in an attempt to create new normal.
What’s your experience been like as an indie female brand owner?
I’ve gotten quite comfortable with nos, rejection and failures. It’s at the point where I actually enjoy it, because I know there’s learning on the other side. It’s made our triumphs and successful moments that much more special. And it’s allowed us to build a genuine connection with our customers, because most people and brands don’t experience a straight line to their goal. The Lip Bar fans and customers respond to our honesty and appreciate the transparency. It’s relatable, it’s real life.

Glass Heart String Choir - French for Rabbits
Visit > Whats On > Glass Heart String Choir - French for Rabbits
Seattle’s Glass Heart String Choir bring their Baroque-Pop to New Zealand. Seattle duo Glass Heart String Choir have an affinity with New Zealand which began when guitar-player and vocalist Ian Williams toured the country with US Chamber-pop songwriter Shenandoah Davis back in 2018. On the trip he met New Zealand artists such as Anthonie Tonnon, and dream-pop band French for Rabbits who he later joined on their US tours. In February 2020, he will be returning to New Zealand with his own project, Glass Heart String Choir, alongside harp-player, violinist and composer Katie Mosehauer. Their extensive tour covers the north and south, weaving from Auckland to Dunedin with stops including Okarito, Hokitika, Rangiora and Palmerston North. Glass Heart String Choir’s music is compelling in its use of sweeping cinematic strings layered and looped, intricate harp, piano and guitar arrangements, and Ian’s engaging and emotive vocal delivery. Their songs harks back to baroque composition technique at times, but also draw from classic folk writers such as Leonard Cohen and contemporary counter-parts such as Joanna Newsom and Andrew Bird. For three shows of the tour they will be joined by Wellington dream-pop act French for Rabbits. They will be joining forces in New Plymouth (the bands previous New Plymouth show sold out), Palmerston North and Wellington. The trio of shows follows a recent tour in the USA, appearances at SXSW and the release of new single ‘Middle of the House’. The band have had music featured in Vampire Diaries, Being Human and they have opened for the likes of Lorde, Agnes Obel and more in their varied career. They’re currently working on their third record which is tentatively due out in late 2020. On the tour they will be joined by some of New Zealand’s finest including French for Rabbits, celebrated writer Rose Lu, Auckland songwriter Mali Mali and more to be announced.

More Stags Paint the Town Red at Bedlam
By susanchristie in · September 17, 2008 · No comments
The number of stags looking to party on at Bedlam is soaring as revellers respond to the credit crunch by turning their backs on budget flights to European destinations in favour of painting the town red at Bedlam.
Bedlam Paintball’s locations in Glasgow, Edinburgh and Aberdeen-Dundee have all benefited from a marked rise in bookings from stag parties as the credit crunch continues to bite throughout the UK.
Roman Rock, MD of Bedlam Group, said, “Unlike other industries that are suffering the full brunt of the credit crunch, our bookings are well up on last year’s figures. I suppose that despite a difficult economic climate, people still need to let off steam – perhaps more so in the teeth of a credit crunch. And we’ve noticed more and more stag parties flying up from south of the border for the weekend to paint the town red – quite literally!”
“As everyone knows, there can be a lot of tension in the run up to a wedding, and paintballing is a great way to celebrate and have some fun with the guys before settling down to wedded bliss.”
As well as stag parties, Bedlam is proving popular with corporate team building; birthdays or people just looking for a fun day out with their mates. Amongst an expanded range of theme-park game zones at any of Bedlam are The Black Fortress and The Stagecoach Stand-off.
Roman Rock said, “Paintballing is already the ultimate adrenaline rush and, with the introduction of the Stagecoach Stand-off and other attractions, such as The Black Fortress, our sites continue to offer the best range of exciting scenarios and storylines for paintballing.”
Bedlam Paintball hosts more than 20,000 players a year. The most professional operation of its kind in Scotland, Bedlam is the only paintball company in Europe that holds the coveted Investors in People accreditation.
In addition to being an accredited member of The UK Paintball Sport Federation, Bedlam has accreditation from VisitScotland. The Bedlam Group also operates Nationwide Paintball, a booking agency with 100 sites throughout the UK.

The Fife local newspaper, the Fife Free Press, is helping to raise money to establish a Hall of Fame at Kirkcaldy football club, Raith Rovers, with its first inductee to be the late Jim Baxter, one of the greatest players ever to represent Scotland.
Baxter – who was to make his name mainly with Rangers and is famous for, among other things, playing 'keepy-uppy' during an international match against then world champions, England - began his career with the Starks Park club.
His legendary career is to be celebrated at a gala show at the town's Adam Smith Theatre, in May, with all proceeds going to the club. Among those recruited by the Fife Free Press to assist is former Prime Minister and local MP, Gordon Brown.
Says the newspaper's editor, Allan Crow: ''We pitched [the show idea] to Gordon Brown, he gave us his immediate backing – and the board of directors also gave it their unanimous endorsement. Since then we've been busy scoping out venues and formats, and have settled on a live show featuring some weel-kent faces from the world of football.
''The aim is to make it accessible to all fans, and we're looking forward to a great night when we can honour a true legend.''

How RFID Delivers Big Data On Cows And Milk Production
Posted Nov 3, 2015 by Brian T. Horowitz (@bthorowitz)
Raspberry Pi Foundation And U.K.’s Code Club Merge For Global Push To Get Kids Coding
Brian T. Horowitz Contributor
Brian T. Horowitz is an editor for Dell’s technology news website, Power More. He has been a technology journalist since 1996 and has written for numerous publications, including Computer Shopper, Fast Company, NYSE magazine, and ScientificAmerican.com.
We know that big data has been used in retail, healthcare and finance, but you might be surprised to find out that it also helps farmers with dairy production. This practice, called precision dairy farming, involves the use of technology such as RFID tags and sensors to track the health of cows, which are essential to the economy in areas such as India.
Vishvas Chitale, director of Chitale Dairy in Bhilawadi, India, explained the role the grass-grazing animals play for farmers. “It’s very important for them as revenue because for farming companies in India we call cows ATMs.”
“If you feed the animal, you get milk the next day,” Chitale said. “By a week’s time you get money, and that’s very important for the rural community in India. That’s why we’ve been able to sustain for the last 75 years as an organization.”
The company produces about 500,000 liters of milk per day, along with cheese, cottage cheese, cream, butter, yogurt and skimmed milk powder.
Reducing The Number Of Cows
Chitale sells about 60 million liters of milk per year from its dairy farm and smaller farms in Bhilawadi. From 2014-2015, India has exported more than 66,000 metric tons of dairy products, according to the Indian government’s Agricultural & Processed Food Products Export Development Authority.
For Chitale Dairy, the goal is to increase the amount of milk production while reducing the number of cows, which in great numbers contribute to the amount of methane in the environment, Chitale said. “By reducing the number of cows, we can really help the environment,” he said. “We want to have less cows but more productivity.”
How The Cloud And Big Data Boost Milk Yield
Chitale Dairy deploys a “cows-to-cloud” strategy to increase the milk yield. Farmers access the data in a cloud portal and use the data to help with animal trading.
“It’s like creating an ecosystem whereby all the stakeholders get the benefit of the compute,” Chitale said. “If [farmers] want to trade their animal and we publish that information about her health, it provides value to them.”
At a weekly bazaar, the Chitale Dairy farmers receive money in exchange for the cow milk they’ve produced for the week. In addition, many farmers in India are trading cows online.
To monitor the cows, Chitale Dairy places Allflex RFID tags in cows’ ears to receive information on whether the animals are in heat or need to be vaccinated or dewormed. This information is transmitted via the cloud to farmers’ mobile devices.
Farmers call the Chitale Dairy call center, which sends the data to a mobile app, with the RFID number matching up with a particular cow. The farm then sends a to-do list to farmers in their local language each morning on what each cow needs based on the data collected from the RFID signals. (Companies such as Allflex, GEA and Y-Tex offer these RFID tags.)
Chitale Dairy maintains a database of 10,000 animals, along with a complete progeny and medical history.
“The secret of the whole system is this is cow 1626, and whatever data I collect relates to her,” stated Michael Hutjens, professor emeritus in animal sciences at the University of Illinois. “The beauty of the tag is the ability to track the animal.”
Chitale Dairy uses the data to track blood profiles and the nutrition requirements of cows, such as whether the animals are getting the proper iron or calcium. From the data received by RFID tags, Chitale Dairy performs mineral mapping and blood profiling.
Monitoring the data allows Chitale Dairy to increase milk production by more than 5 liters per animal, Chitale said.
The sensors also keep track of how much a cow eats per day.
“If one day cows only spend one day eating, then these alerts tell us something is going on with this cow and then we can look at her and try to find the best course of action,” said Jeffrey Bewley, associate extension professor at the University of Kentucky.
“The whole idea is to have a complete life cycle of the animal,” Chitale said. For example, the system sends messages on whether a cow is having a calf. The dairy farm also uses genetic mating software to track whether offspring are producing with “greater genetic gain” than their mothers.
Tracking Illness
By monitoring the health of cows using RFID tags and sensors, farmers can detect whether the animals suffer from conditions such as mastitis, a potentially fatal infection of the udder tissue, or lameness, which is difficulty in moving around.
Discovering mastitis is a top parameter for farmers to adopt precision dairy technology such as RFID, according to Bewley and fellow University of Kentucky researcher Matt Borcher. Other factors include standing heat and daily milk yield.
“Sensors also can track if a cow is running a fever or hasn’t eaten in 48 hours,” Hutjens said.
The Future Of Big Data In Farming
Despite the advantages that big data brings to agriculture and milk production, farmers may not have the time to absorb all this data.
“It’s assuming that the farmer has time to look at the data and that the farmer is willing to stare at a screen for hours on end,” said Patrick Zelaya, founder of HeavyConnect, a Salinas, California, startup that develops software to make agriculture field data actionable. “It’s more than just creating and displaying valuable data but integrating that data into the operation without it turning into a video game for the farmer.”
To solve the problem, farmers will need to have someone dedicated to spending at least an hour a day analyzing big data. “It requires good management and commitment to use the system,” Hutjens explained. “Analysis of the data could lead to checking the health of a cow, including taking the temperature and giving calcium.”
Marcia I. Endres, a professor in the department of animal science at the University of Minnesota, sees big data becoming more common in dairy farms in the future. “There are many technologies in the market and more coming that collect a lot of information about each cow, plus there are more automated milking systems that collect samples and analyze the milk every day, generating a lot of data too,” Endres said. “Therefore, data integration and analysis coupled with decision-making tools will be very key to the success of the dairy industry in the future.”
“We’re just starting as far as the possibilities for big data, farming and milk production,” Bewley added. “I think we’re just at the beginning. We need to continue be innovative in what technologies we’re developing and working with the end user to figure out how to make them work.”

Warren — Feature, Musings —02.07.2019 07:07 AM
Shocker: Why Jody Wilson-Raybould was knifed by Justin Trudeau
Is Justin Trudeau’s PMO corrupt?
And did they punish the first female indigenous leader for refusing to go along with a dirty deal for their cronies?
This Globe and Mail story strongly suggests the answer is yes, to both questions. If true, this is corruption at the very highest levels of the federal government.
I’ve known this story was coming, but didn’t know it would be this bad. It’s bad.
It’s now clear that Justin Trudeau knifed Jody Wilson-Raybould because she refused to protect friends of Justin Trudeau. Friends enmeshed in multiple corruption scandals.
This one has it all: racism, cronyism, corruption. More shocking highlights below. Link here.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s office attempted to press Jody Wilson-Raybould when she was justice minister to intervene in the corruption and fraud prosecution of Montreal engineering and construction giant SNC-Lavalin Group Inc., sources say, but she refused to ask federal prosecutors to make a deal with the company that could prevent a costly trial.
SNC-Lavalin has sought to avoid a criminal trial on fraud and corruption charges stemming from an RCMP investigation into its business dealings in Libya…
Sources say Ms. Wilson-Raybould, who was justice minister and attorney-general until she was shuffled to Veterans Affairs early this year, came under heavy pressure to persuade the Public Prosecution Service of Canada to change its mind.
Sources say officials from Mr. Trudeau’s office, whom they did not identify, had urged Ms. Wilson-Raybould, Canada’s first Indigenous justice minister, to press the public prosecution office to abandon the court proceedings.
Ms. Wilson-Raybould trusted the judgment of the public prosecutor and did not believe it was proper for the attorney-general to intervene, especially if there could be any suggestion of political interference, sources say…
Since the beginning of 2017, representatives of SNC-Lavalin met with federal government officials and parliamentarians more than 50 times on the topic of “justice” and “law enforcement,” according to the federal lobbyists registry. This includes 14 visits with people in the PMO. Those they met included Gerald Butts, principal secretary to the Prime Minister, and Mathieu Bouchard, Mr. Trudeau’s senior adviser on Quebec – whom they met 12 times. Mr. Trudeau’s senior policy adviser, Elder Marques, also met with company representatives.
This revelation, if true, is a clear violation of section 139(2) of the Criminal Code. Will the Conservatives, who have been lobbied just as aggressively by SNC Lavalin, do the right thing, and shut down Parliament until there is a Mueller-type independent inquiry? Will they, at the very least, swear a complaint with the RCMP? I’m not holding my breath.
If any of you wish to do so, however, you can here.
Why the hell is this not the headline on National Newswatch instead of a puff opinion piece from the New York Times?
You’ll note that I have been banned from National Newswatch, too. I think I offended a certain advertiser.
Duane Sharp says:
Warren…you are bad!
When you get banned that indicates those news media are corrupt too. So make a list of all the corrupt news media outlets. Canadians get a far better coverage from whistle blowers and blogs and comments then from news papers and news station on TV. All for free.
The Globe and Mail will need to stick with the story. Every day and every step taken.
Body language of Jody Wilson Raybould speaks volumes and her father pretty much has spilled the beans.
The current AG that replaced JWR is from Trudeaus riding so doesnt that looked planned. So many crooked people come from Quebec and are rich. Find that interesting. These same people give money.
Comments of people are the best way to discover the truth. Every angle is important and it was the Trudeau government that brought in the deferred prosecution agreements or remediation agreement as they call it. So its all been planned since obviously JWR refused to be forced to pressure even though there were fourteen meetings. Cant say there was no pressure. The fourteen meetings prove it. Any whistle blowers from SNC Lavelin with any knowledge that SNC Lavelin do what they do best….bribed the PMO office behind the scenes and figured they can get away with it. They have been caught bribing and made lots of money off of their bribes, Any money offered to the PMO or the present AG. Good question to wonder.
Because National Newswatch is owned by the father of Trudeau’s Director of Communications?
I’m sure it’s all a coincidence
Robert White says:
Professor Emeritus Sigmund Freud always stated that ‘there are no accidents’. Freud was a biological determinist.
Maggie Ricker says:
Freud also said incest didn’t exist.
Interesting, I didn’t know that. Now I’m not surprised that the Toronto Star and CBC is often prominently featured. I tended to feel that way even though I never knew this!
David Jeffrey Spetch says:
and such as liberal and globalist policy long before they made such a compact, I suspect the compact was front lined to try and over shadow that they have already been using such sick method for years.
Because Trudeau’s has them in his pocket
Wow! A inquiry, would be good, but the Cons boss has no balls!
Then swear a complaint with the RCMP under s. 139(2) of the Criminal Code. Anyone can do it. Here: http://www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/en/nation/rcmp-referral-complaint-check-sheet
Is it not counterproductive to swear a complaint and bring in the RCMP at this point? Doesn’t that have the effect of all PMO responses being “no comment while this is under investigation” “wouldn’t want to interfere with the work of the RCMP”, etc.?
Probably best to take some time to hammer away in the House, and on the streets. Call for an inquiry and then eventually swear the complaint if no one else has.
I think this one has “legs”.
Terence Quinn says:
one of the legs it may have is to help the liberals with votes in Quebec where the SNC jobs are.
Ronald O'Dowd says:
Terence,
But surely the jobs are less than at Bombardier?
Maureen Gow-Zelmer says:
That’s really uncalled for. Andrew just made a statement and you can be assured he and the CPC will not let this go but because Trudeau is so corrupt and has so much third party money backing him, it’s an uphill battle. Don’t insinuate that another leader would do different.
Tell us more about “third party money” backing him
Daniel Seminuk says:
It is pretty safe to say it is the same list that supports the UN. That is a bottomless pit of money unfortunately.
Why the Cons why not Singh or May? Either of tem could make the same complaint to the RCMP.
Indeed. Will they?
Our mutual P.I. friend is suggesting Butts is now the subject of a criminal probe into obstruction of justice and POSSIBLE OTHER CRIMES
this chap seems to be 1 step a head of a lot of problems. Wasnt he part of McGuinty and Wynne staff? Seems like what he did to Ontario he is doing to Canada
Matt from Ottawa says:
That’s not surprising, if anyone deserves it, it’s Butts
That’s a great point. However, they aren’t the official opposition so it makes sense that Scheer makes the statement and even more to the point, neither one of them could find their ass with both hands!
Not quite seeing the racism. SNC Lavalin has always been able to run over any cabinet minister they cannot buy, regardless of race, colour, or creed.
Doubt they got away with that when Harper was in charge. Not my favourite PM by a long shot but let’s just describe Stephen as formidable.
Cyber Singh says:
https://www.cbc.ca/news/former-snc-lavalin-vp-charged-in-bangladesh-bribery-probe-1.1858961
Montréalaise says:
It seems that JT admires strong, independent women only as long as they do exactly what he tells them to.
Montréalaise,
I’m sorely tempted to overly broad-stroke and call it L’Air du Québec. (Think Lola in the SCOC…)
Daryl Gordon says:
Looks just like the US Democrats in demanding due process in the various and sundry scandals in Virginia. What happened to “I believe the woman” and college hijinks are a direct reflection of current character?
Oh I must have forgotten, there is a different set of rules for the left on both sides of the border.
I hope they have an industrial-strength vacuum cleaner in the PMO and that it gets used — if these allegations are founded.
She needs to cross the floor and tell her story before this will have any credibility.
that would be awesome and certainly she should be respected for having the integrety to do so. make her deputy PM
Shelagh says:
Respected? Not by a long shot. She and sockboy made changes to jury selection law when they didn’t get the verdict they wanted in the Bouchie case. Why weren’t those males who caused the whole mess in the first place prosecuted? The lieberals – all of them get no respect from me. They don’t represent my values, especially not the trust fund man-child who is the prime minister.
Neil Bressey says:
Why would the RCMP need a complaint? Are they not obligated to investigate on their own?
KJQ says:
Thank you, Mr. Kinsella. I seldom agree with your political views, but I’ve always respected your being a “straight shooter”. Really miss the days you were on SNN. The truth is more important than partisanship.
Being the seriousness of the charge would this also put the credibility of the media at stake a little bit here? They should commit to search this story out to its conclusion but if they don’t does that put them at odds with how they went after Harper (rightly so) for Duffy? This is a massive story but does it have those other dangers in it for the media?
Charge wasn’t the word I should have used. Accusation is appropriate.
Do you remember that time, right at the height of the “MeToo” movement, when the sitting Prime Minister of Canada was accused of sexual harassment against a Canadian journalist?
Remember how that story dissappeared in about a week, never to be spoken of again?
I don’t trust the Canadian mainstream media to seriously hold our leaders to account, especially during the times when our leaders belong to the Liberal Party of Canada.
I’ll be watching The [Toronto] Star!
Trudeau says the allegations are false.
E.M. says:
While it would appear that this story is damaging, I am still a bit sceptical of the allegations.
SNC-Lavalin naturally has a lot of clout, but I suspect that they wouldn’t need the support of the AG to halt prosecution . Plenty of people in Public Prosecution who would have no appetite for the case based on difficulty and technicalities involved with prosecution canadian companies for a single count of corruption under Section 3(1)(b) of the Corruption of Foreign Public Officials Act.
The fraud under section 380 of the Criminal Code of Canada is an easier charge to prosecute, but it’s not something a company the seize of SNC feels is terribly endangering. They probably set aside contingency funds for this sort of risk, and would feel they can take their change in court.
(Having seen thse prosecutions from the inside – RCMP IMET – I’ve seen how these things play out. Simply white collar crime doesn’t really amount to much in Canada, and SNC would probably not be that interested in drawing more attention to the case then or really want to play this card). Of course I haven’t seen the evidence or know how strong the case is.
But, it would appear to also a case of sour grapes with JWR. The move seemed a long time coming after she lost the respect of many in the legal community – certainly the criminal legal community. (but that’s a whole other story). So shuffle seemed imminent anyways.
Anyways, it’s certainly good fodder for the conservatives, but not sure if this is an accurate picture.
Vice-Admiral Norman is probably more of a concernning case. I’m betting they will lose that one with Marie Henein as counsel for defense
LROB says:
Good points as always. Also the new Remediation or Deferred Prosecution options are new to Canada and maybe the Givernment was not to far off side in asking them to explore that option. It normally comes with significant monitoring of on going business transactions for years to come and keeps a company employing Canadians. I don’t get offended if that was the “pressing” issue.
Fred from BC says:
“But, it would appear to also a case of sour grapes with JWR. The move seemed a long time coming after she lost the respect of many in the legal community – certainly the criminal legal community. (but that’s a whole other story). So shuffle seemed imminent anyways. ”
Agreed. I have to respect her for her handling of this particular incident (if the accounts are indeed true), but she was still out of her depth as AG.
(sorry, Warren. I know you like her, but that doesn’t change the facts…)
This gets to the meat in this issue. Also bear in mind that SNC cleaned up its act and remains a major Canadian exporter of services and goods through their supply chain purchases.
Yes they will lose the Norman case…an innocent senior military officer who was thrown under the same bus which was waiting for Wilson-Raybould…Heinen will bury the prosecution…and when the truth is known on the SNC-Lavalin file, I sincerely hope we have TWO swords to skewer the Libs before the fall election!T
Questions about the prosecution of Vice Admiral Norman have been “answered” with reference to the sub judice rule. If I understand the story correctly, the SNC prosecution is still proceeding. How can the Liberals answer questions about this without opening themselves up to criticism for not answering questions about Norman?
Thank you for a well reasoned psot!
Mike Filip says:
Mr. Kinsella, I’ve been critical of you in the past, but this is some damn fine reporting. If you’d like to be a guest on my show airing in Washington DC please shoot me an email.
Greg Vezina says:
Does anyone remember Justin Trudeau promising during the 2015 election to end PMO control, saying “we’ve seen the end point of that?”
Justin Trudeau would loosen PMO control, reverse trend started by father #LiarLiar #cdnpoli
https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/canada-election-2015-justin-trudeau-interview-1.3219479
Windsurfer says:
If Warren will allow this comment, a well-known business commentator on BNN today, Business News Network, said the Attorney General should have just backed off. As in stop prosecuting/persecuting the issue…….. it’s dead, over and was committed by long-gone executives. He also said it’s just hurting CDN business. Take this comment as you wish, but the commentator was Norman Levine, a fairly sober type. I’m sure anyone wanting to see the clip can look at the BNN archive from about 8.25 am EST today.
The larger issue is the political interference &, if true, the denial of the same. At this point, the SNC case is only a back drop.
James Phieffer says:
It’s not for the AG to decide. That was apparently JWR’s stance, and it’s the right one. If a Crown under her decided not to proceed, because reasons, then no problem. But she should never have been asked to intervene in the first place. That is where the law was broken.
Interesting take on BNN. SNC isn’t all that good for business either. If people think that corrupt companies that make money should be left alone so we are all better off then they have a very strange view of how business works. SNC is taking business from ethical companies in Canada and therefor encouraging the creation of a business environment that requires companies to discard their ethics in order to compete.
That’s overblown in terms of “taking business from ethical companies in Canada” . I am not suggesting SNC wasn’t unethical but its competitors play in the same league and win orders.
Jim R says:
Really want to hear what Wilson-Raybould has to say about this. If true, it certainly makes Trudeau’s talk of rule of law w.r.t. the Meng Wanzhou extradition issue look hypocritical.
John D. says:
Thanks for taking the lead on pushing awareness of this incredible story today Warren.
If any of this is true, and even as a conservative I really hope it isn’t, then it is way bigger than Left/Right politics… It is fundamental to who we are as a nation and as a free people.
It could be the biggest story of our time, and it needs a person like Warren Kinsella to lead the public outcry for The Truth.
Miles Lunn says:
This is not good. She was one of the more competent cabinet ministers and this could come back to bite them. Off course scandals take time to settle in the public minds after all sponsorship scandal didn’t hurt Martin in 2004, but did in 2006 so the question is are we too close to the election for this to take hold or not? This looks bad and will be interesting to see how this unfolds. SNC-Lavalin does have a bad record as didn’t they do a corrupt deal with Muammar Gaddafi when he was still Libyan dictator so not totally surprised, but you would expect our government being democratic to say no to this sleaze.
Anyways as a BC Liberal supporter and just watching their campaign to make their team for next election more diverse and more representative of modern BC, I would love to see her run provincially where if the BC Liberals win next time she could be justice minister. Not sure what her provincial leanings are though as BC Liberals are more conservative than federal Liberals, but since the Trudeau guys seem to not want her, maybe she should go provincial.
Looking back at a statement made by Wilson-Raybould after her firing as Justice Minister/AG seems to suggest she was directed to do something illegal.
“……it is a pillar of our democracy that our system of justice be free from even the perception of political interference and uphold the highest levels of public confidence.”
If you recall she put out a message telling us what she had accomplished in her time as AG. What she didn’t say is that she was not competent in certain areas of criminal justice and there were legal community complaints about her. JT made the right move as it will eventually play out.
Karen Gibbs says:
This is just another reason to charge Trudeau with treason. Between taking away Canadians’ democratic right to vote on the UN Pact and not including Canadians’ in the ISIS Terrorist return, not taking away the ISIS Terrorists citizenship, and taking taxpayers money ($590,000,000) to buy the media, just adds fuel to fire of charging Trudeau with TREASON.
alan morgan says:
hang the SOB
Its election season Art, so there is no reality. Karen is way out there.
The Doctor says:
Since when has any ordinary citizen had a right to directly vote on ratification of any UN Pact or Treaty or whatever? Get a grip. Your time to vote on stuff is general election time. At that time, vote for the party of your choice. That’s the way things work on the planet I come from.
Paul Wells, who I have a lot of time for, has a good take on this here:
https://www.macleans.ca/politics/ottawa/for-a-commission-of-inquiry-into-snc-lavalin-and-the-prime-ministers-office/
Really puts Wilson-Raybould’s memo into context.
Sam White says:
What will be interesting is, how tenaciously the media will pursue this. Will it get the same attention as Duffy et all?
It should get more, but will it?
What do you think Warren?
If we look at history, this story should not be surprising:
1) Trudeau announced charges in the Vice Admiral Norman case a year before they were actually laid,
2) Trudeau violated Ethics Act on 4 counts by visiting Aga Khan island,
3) Trudeau and team weighed in on jury verdict in Boushie case,
4) Trudeau violated Ethics Act by accepting gift in Maritimes.
5) Now this.
How many strikes before your out in this game?
They have to be strikes.
I wonder how the Chinese now feel about our “Rule of Law” Prime Minister?
This case goes beyond some ‘rogue executives’ and some foreign bribes. It is a case of who knew what and when. That means the board. A lot of engineers consultants and competitors are out for blood from this company. And all it’s been getting is the kid gloves treatment. If SNC wants absolution; it’s going to have to cough up more than a couple of executives. $30 million does not come out of petty cash.
Don’t forget the groping allegations
I hope liberals such as Warren, find the strength of conviction to speak out against this corrupt government. People will listen if they can find a way to be heard.
High taxation, lower representation says:
Am I the only person who had heard she was terrible to get along with and not a team player (and by this I mean, on just the mundane stuff)— I’ve heard it from females and males, political and bureaucrats who dealt with her.
Admittedly, I’ve never heard it from a First Nations woman so perhaps I’m only in racist-mysoginist circles.
New Justice minister has a great reputation, perhaps this made a stronger cabinet.
As for SNC-L, they are crooks who lobby anybody who takes meetings. I love how our tight financing laws allows their $125K donations (that’s one midlevel salary at HQ) to even make this a feasible story. Ahh, Canada.
The article seems to gain steam with JWR denying comment, and the whole thing may have come to the Globe from her people but maybe that’s just payback for an oldschool plain knifing? If so, this added hubbub definitely helps her cause.
As said earlier, very tough timing with October.
How will the Chinese react now to our “Rule of Law” Prime Minister?
Is anyone really shocked? This is how the Liberals and their supporters have always operated. They are the party of graft and thievery. Lining their pockets with taxpayers money until they feel the heat and then retire and enjoy the golden egg of retirement, or double dip in the private sector while enjoying that pension. As much as SNC should be banned from government jobs, the Liberals should be banned from ever being in politics. Every single one of them.
RWG says:
Sorry, but between the media, police, parliament and our courts I don’t honestly believe anything will happen with this other than it being “swept under the carpet.
Will people take to the streets in protest demanding Trudeau resign? Nope. Canadians don’t want to believe their government is corrupt. It’ll cause tongues to wag in the Ottawa bubble, but anything more will be brushed off as partisan political games and the MSM will drop it.
Ed Simmons says:
This issue has clearly defined what Trudeau and his Liberal party is all about. There is a lot of past history to back it up.
Rob is so right, “the Liberals should be banned from ever being in politics. Every single one of them.”
Canada would then prosper without the BS and thieving.
Not sure I’d go that far, but it *is* interesting that once again, Quebec features prominently in a Liberal scandal.
Sandy F says:
Trudeau has cooked his goose and for anyone bringing sexism and racism into the conerdsatin re: Jody, all I can ask is– Why does “race” have to come into it??? If she were “Caucasian/White” would you have been so quick to point out her race or just disregard it because she may/may not be White?? Why the distinction? You are only fueling the B.C. chiefs claims of sexism and racism and more freaking division hatred for Whites!!!
Floyd says:
JT’s room mate and great friend at West Point Grey Academy, Vancouver, Christopher Charles Ingvaldson is another story.F
Charles Waggett says:
The markets seem to think that this will fade. SNC stock was down when the charges were laid but recovered and then dropped again with the Globe story, but are now creeping back up. Why, because (1) they think that SNC will pay the fine and it will be business as usual (2) It’s just another Quebec based scandal (3) The Liberal are indebted to SNC and would pay dearly in the next election in Quebec if SNC jobs were sacrificed. Odd how a 100K jobs in Alberta don’t matter (no Liberal votes there) but 8K jobs in Quebec are the end all, be all. Time to buy SNC shares.

Mossessian Architect to build faith museum in Mecca
Vartan Estukyan 01.20.2016 WORLD
Based in London, Mossessian Architect will design the Islamic faith museum that will be built in Mecca.
Established by Armenian architect Michel Mossessian, the studio has won a competition to design the Mecca Museum that will be built in Mecca, which is the most sacred city for Muslims. Mossessian teamed up with Studio Adeline Rispal to enter competition for the museum project.
The building will include 5,600 square meters of gallery space to host exhibitions related to the international practice and history of Islam and the life of Muhammad. Also, there will be a reception area, an auditorium, book store, teaching space, roof garden and restaurant.
"It will bridge a gap"
Michel Mossessian told about the design of the museum: "The Mecca Museum will offer a unique interpretation and reflection of faith to millions of Muslims who visit Mecca from around the world and who, up until this point, have had no cultural institution of this kind to enhance their visit to the holiest of Muslim cities."
A central void inside the structure is designed which will be like a "virtual minaret" that visitors ascend as they move through the exhibitions.
The firm stated that “A continuous ramp system to ascend the void is devised with a parallel spiral staircase for the descent. Both circular (like the celestial sphere) and ascending (symbolising the spiritual journey), the central minaret-shaped void calls upon the Muslim community to transcend earthly concerns through their faith – and pursuing the quest for knowledge onwards into infinity." Exhibits and panoramic film displays will occupy either side of the ramp travelling up through the space.
At the top, visitors will be able to access a climate-controlled garden space, which is designed to be usable even in the extreme heat of Saudi Arabia's summers.
The underside of the spiralling stairs leading back down will be inscribed with the 99 Names of Allah, the names of god in Islam, which will be viewable from a dedicated gallery space at the bottom.
The outside wall of the museum will incorporate stone sourced from every country in the world where Islam is currently practiced. Hujaz rock from the mountains around Mecca will be used for the interior.
"Inside, the rock is used to create alcoves and plinths that visitors encounter as they mount the ramp," said the architect. "These house the exhibition displays, which tell the story of the life of the Prophet and enrich understanding about Islam."
Ten-year-old firm
Based in Hoxton, east London, Mossessian Architecture was founded in 2005 by architect Michel Mossessian. The studio has a large number projects currently under way in the Middle East and Africa, including the regeneration of the Place Lalla Yeddouna at the heart of the historic Medina in Fez, Morocco.

Agos was founded in 1996 by Hrant Dink and a group of his friends, in order to report the problems of the Armenians of Turkey to the public. It is the first newspaper in the Republican period to be published in Turkish and Armenian. Agos's editorial policy focuses on issues such as democratization, minority rights, coming to terms with the past, the protection and development of pluralism in Turkey. As a newspaper that has emerged from within the Armenian community of Turkey, Agos aims to further open its pages to the issues of Turkey and the world. As independent journalism and freedom of expression face increasing restriction in Turkey, Agos also acts as an independent platform for debate.

ELECTORAL VOTES OF 1876
by DAVID DUDLEY FIELD.
THE ELECTORAL VOTES OF 1876:
Who Should Count Them, What Should
Be Counted, and the Remedy
for a Wrong Count.
DAVID DUDLEY FIELD.
D. Appleton and Company,
549 & 551 Broadway.
Copyright by D. Appleton and Company, 1877.
THE ELECTORAL VOTES OF 1876.
WHO SHOULD COUNT THEM,
WHAT SHOULD BE COUNTED, AND
THE REMEDY FOR A WRONG COUNT.
The electoral votes of 1876 have been cast. The certificates are now
in Washington, or on their way thither, to be kept by the President of
the Senate until their seals are broken in February. The certificates
and the votes of thirty-four of the States are undisputed. The
remaining four are debatable, and questions respecting them have
arisen, upon the decision of which depends the election of the
incoming President. These questions are: Who are to count the votes;
what votes are to be counted; and what is the remedy for a wrong
count? I hope not to be charged with presumption if, in fulfilling my
duty as a citizen, I do what I can toward the answering of these
questions aright; and, though I happen to contribute nothing toward
satisfactory answers, I shall be excused for making the effort.
The questions themselves have no relation to the relative merits of
the two candidates. Like other voters, I expressed my own preference
on the morning of the election. That duty is discharged; another duty
supervenes, which is, to take care that my vote is counted and allowed
its due place in the summary of the votes. Otherwise the voting
performance becomes ridiculous, and the voter deserves to be laughed
at for his pains. His duty--to cast his vote according to his
conscience--was clear; it is no less his duty to make the vote felt,
along with other like votes, according to the laws.
The whole duty of a citizen is not ended when his vote is delivered;
there remains the obligation to watch it until it is duly weighed, in
adjusting the preponderance of the general choice. Whatever may be the
ultimate result of the count, whether his candidate will have lost or
won, is of no importance compared with the maintenance of justice and
the supremacy of law over the preferences and passions of men.
It concerns the honor of the nation that fraud shall not prevail or
have a chance of prevailing. If a fraudulent count is possible, it is
of little consequence how my vote or the votes of others be cast; for
the supreme will is not that of the honest voter, but of the dishonest
counter; and, when fraud succeeds, or is commonly thought to have
succeeded, the public conscience, shocked at first, becomes weakened
by acquiescence; and vice, found to be profitable, soon comes to be
triumphant. It is of immeasurable importance, therefore, that we
should not only compose the differences that, unfortunately, have
arisen, but compose them upon a basis right in itself and appearing to
be right also.
WHO SHOULD COUNT THE VOTES?
This is the first question. What is meant by counting? In one sense,
it is only enumeration, an arithmetical operation, which in the
present instance consists of addition and subtraction. In another
sense it involves segregation, separation of the false from the true.
If a hundred coins are thrown upon a banker's counter, and his clerk
is told to count the good ones, he has both to select and to
enumerate. He takes such as he finds sufficient in metal and weight,
and rejects the light and counterfeit. So when the Constitution
ordains that "the votes shall then be counted," it means that the true
ones shall be counted, which involves the separation of the true from
the false, if there be present both false and true. In regard to the
agency by which this double process is to be performed, the words of
the Constitution are few: "The President of the Senate shall, in the
presence of the Senate and House of Representatives, open

Doctor joke
A joke that involves doctors or hospitals, or is about a doctor's visit.
The Best Sleeping Pills
An elderly woman went into the pharmacy. When the pharmacist asked why she was there, she replied, “I’d like to have some birth control pills.” Taken aback, the pharmacist thought for a minute and then said, “Excuse me, Mrs. Smith, but you’re 75 years old. What possible use could you have for birth control pills?” The woman responded, “They help me sleep better.” The pharmacist thought some more and continued, “How in the world do birth control pills help you to sleep?” The woman said, “I put them in my granddaughter’s orange juice and I sleep better at night.”

Pessimist vs. Optimist
There once were twin boys, age six, that had developed extreme personalities. One was a pessimist and the other a total optimist. Concerned, their parents took them to a psychiatrist. First, the psychiatrist treated the pessimist. Trying to brighten his outlook, the psychiatrist took him to a room filled with toys. But instead of yelping with delight, the little boy burst into tears. “What’s the matter?” the psychiatrist asked. “Don’t you want to play with any of the toys?” “Yes,” the little boy bawled, “but if I did I’d only break them.” Next, the psychiatrist treated the optimist. Trying to dampen his out look, the psychiatrist took him to a room piled to the ceiling with horse manure. But instead of wrinkling his nose in disgust, the optimist climbed to the top of the pile, and began gleefully digging out scoop after scoop with his bare hands. “What are you doing?” the baffled psychiatrist asked. The little boy replied, “With all this manure, there must be a pony in here somewhere!”

A Range of Tests
An old woman took her husband to the doctor. The doctor checked the husband's pulse, then told the woman, "I'm sorry, your husband is dead." The woman was shocked. "I don't believe it. Are you sure? I want to be absolutely sure, are there any other tests you can do?" The doctor responded, "I'm quite sure, but if you'd like we do have some alternative tests that we can perform." "YES! I have to be absolutely certain." The doctor shrugged, sat down on a stool and yelled out the door, "send in Mrs. Fluffkins!" In walked a black house cat. The cat jumped onto the examination table, walking carelessly on the unresponsive body of the woman's husband, the cat swatted at the man's face a few times, then jumped off the table, meowed twice and walked out of the room. "Just as I thought," said the doctor. "Dead. Send in Walter!" In walked a Labrador retriever, the dog walked over to the woman's husband, smelled his hand which was dangling from the table. The dog turned to the doctor, his big expressive eyes raised up to meet the doctor's gaze, then the dog shook his head and walked out of the room. "Just as I thought," said the doctor. "Dead. Send in Collin!" Suddenly a towering Aussie in safari gear burst into the room. A pair of binoculars hung from a strap around his neck. He pulled them up to his eyes, looked at the husband for a second, then turned to the old woman and yelled, "OY BI**H YA HUSBANDS FU**IN' DEAD" and walked out of the room. "Thank you Collin," said the doctor, making a note on his clipboard, then yelled down the hall "Ma'am can you come in here?" A elderly woman walked slowly into the room, peered through her thick glasses at the body of the husband on the exam table, shook her head, then sat down at a typewriter in the corner, clacked away at the keys for a few seconds. Ding. She pulled a card out of the typewriter, and handed it to the doctor. The doctor looked at the card, "Dead. Thank you ma'am, that'll be all." The doctor suddenly hopped up from his stool. He picked the stool up by the legs and swung it over his head, crashing the seat down on the body of the husband. The husband's lifeless body flailed under the impact, then settled back to rest on the table. The doctor set the stool down, then jotted something on his clipboard. "I'm sorry to inform you that your husband is definitely dead." He handed her a piece of paper detailing the test results. "Take this to the front desk and they'll check you out." The old woman took the slip of paper to the front desk. The receptionist looked it over, and giving the old woman a sad look said, "I'm sorry for your loss. That will be $32,000." "32 THOUSAND DOLLARS?!?!? That can't possibly be right, I've never paid that much to see the doctor." The receptionist looked over the paper again, "Well it's $100 copay for the doctors visit, but then it shows you also requested a cat scan, a lab report, a Collin-oscopy, a ma'am-ogram, and a stool analysis."

An Absent Minded Doctor
A doctor is going about his business, with a rectal thermometer tucked behind his ear. He goes into a staff meeting to discuss the days activities, when a co-worker asks why he has a thermometer behind his ear? In a wild motion he grabs for the thermometer, looks at it and exclaims: "Damn, some as*hole has my pen!"

Silent But Deadly
There was once a very prim and proper older lady who had a problem with passing gas. Since she came from a generation when people didn't even talk about this kind of problem it took a long time for her to seek help. Finally, however, she was persuaded to consult her family doctor. After she filled out all the proper forms and had waited about 20 minutes in the waiting room the doctor called her into her office, leaned back in her chair, folded her hands into a steeple and asked her how she could help. "Doctor," she said, "I have a very bad gas problem. Yesterday afternoon I had lunch with the Secretary of State and his wife and had six, um, er, ahhh ... silent gas emissions. Last night I had dinner with the governor and his wife and had four silent gas emissions. Then, while sitting in your waiting room I had five silent gas emissions! Doctor, you've got to help me! What can we do?" "Well, Margaret" said the doctor, raising her voice, "I think the first thing we're going to do is to give you a hearing test."

The Old Snake and the Doctor
A old snake goes to see his doctor and says, ”I need something for my eyes… I can’t see very well these days”. The doctor fixes him up with a pair of glasses and tells him to return in two weeks. The snake comes back in two weeks and tells the doctor that he’s very depressed. “What’s the problem?" Asks the doctor. "Didn’t the glasses help you?” “The glasses are fine doc." Answers the snake dejectedly. "Thing is, I just discovered I’ve been living with a garden hose the past 2 years.”

The Grim Reaper and the Dentist
There are two identical twin brothers that live together. One happens to be a well-respected dentist, and the other can't seem to keep a job. Instead of actively looking for work, he likes to sit around at home. One Saturday, the dentist is hungry, and puts his brother on the spot. He tells him to get off his lazy behind and go get them some food. After some protest, the lazy brother takes the car and leaves for the store. In the meantime, the dentist takes a nap on his day off. He turns off his phone so he won't be interrupted. About 30 minutes later, the lazy brother gets into a head-on collision in the intersection by the grocery store. His vital signs are fading; he's unconscious and barely moving. An ambulance picks him up and rushes him to the hospital. He ends up in the Emergency Room under observation, but his condition is critical. They try calling his dentist brother, but he doesn't pick up because his phone is off. The dentist wakes to a knock on the door. Suspecting a solicitor, he ignores it, but the knocking continues. Eventually, he resolves to get up and yell at the person at the door. When he does, he reveals--- the grim reaper. He is just as he appears in movies; a full skeleton underneath a tattered cloak. The grim reaper swears. "Oh no! This always happens with identical twins". "What do you mean?" asks the dentist. "Well... if you must know, your brother was in a critical car accident, and I've come to take him to the underworld. I'm afraid his time on Earth has ended. I'll take my leave now." The dentist is noticeably upset. He says "Wait! Isn't there some way I can challenge you for my brother's life? After all, YOU made the mistake. Certainly there must be a way I can bargain for his life." The grim reaper asks "What do you have in mind?" The dentist thinks. "How about a challenge? If I beat you, you let my brother go free." The grim reaper laughs. "I will beat you in any challenge. What challenge do you propose?" The dentist smiles. "I propose we see who has the cleanest teeth. 5 minutes of brushing each, then we decide." "Very well" says the grim reaper, who makes his way to the bathroom. Once there, he pulls back his tattered cloak to reveal his skull. It's glistening. He takes a toothbrush from the bathroom, loads it with toothpaste, and brushes. After 5 minutes, the shiniest teeth anyone has ever seen glisten and make the room bright. The grim reaper grins. "You are foolish human. But, you are entitled to your chance." The dentist takes another toothbrush, loads it with toothpaste, and starts brushing like a madman. When his 5 minutes are up, he spits out the paste. He smiles. It's unbelievable. The shine from the dentist's teeth is so beautiful that he can see the grim reaper's reflection in his perfectly clean teeth. The winner is obvious. The grim reaper hangs his head in shame. "You win, human. This time. Your brother will live." He disappears in a puff of smoke. At the same instant, the bed-ridden brother wakes up in the hospital. Not only is he uninjured, he seems perfectly healthy. Suddenly, the phone by his bed rings. It's his brother, the dentist. He picks up. "Hey bro. You'll never believe what happened. Apparently, I went out to the market and got hit by a car. They say I almost died." The dentist smiles on the phone and says. "That's interesting, bro. Today you might say that I also had a brush with death."

The Doctor Expert
One night a man and a woman are both at a bar knocking back a few beers. They start talking and come to realize that they're both doctors. After about an hour, the man says to the woman, "Hey. How about if we sleep together tonight. No strings attached. It'll just be one night of fun." The woman doctor agrees to it. So they go back to her place and he goes in the bedroom. She goes in the bathroom and starts scrubbing up like she's about to go into the operating room. She scrubs for a good 10 minutes. Finally she goes in the bedroom and they have intercourse for an hour or so. Afterwards, the man says to the woman, "You're a surgeon, aren't you?" "Yeah, how did you know?" The man says, "I could tell by the way you scrubbed up before we started." "Oh, that makes sense", says the woman. " You're an anesthesiologist aren't you?" "Yeah", says the man , a bit surprised. "How did you know?" The woman answers, "Because I didn't feel a thing."

Lawyers vs. Doctor
Two attorneys boarded a flight out of Seattle. One sat in the window seat, the other sat in the middle seat. Just before take-off, a physician got on and took the aisle seat next to the two attorneys. The physician kicked off his shoes, wiggled his toes and was settling in when the attorney in the window seat said," I think I'll get up and get a coke." "No problem," said the physician, "I'll get it for you." While he was gone, one of the attorneys picked up the physician's shoe and spat in it. When he returned with the coke, the other attorney said, "That looks good, I think I'll have one too." Again, the physician obligingly went to fetch it and while he was gone, the other attorney picked up the other shoe and spat in it. The Physician returned and they all sat back and enjoyed the flight. As the plane was landing, the Physician slipped his feet into his shoes and knew immediately what had happened. "How long must this go on?" he asked. "This fighting between our professions? This hatred? This animosity? This spitting in shoes and pissing in cokes?"

Going to See the Doctor
It was early morning and an old man in his eighties got up and was putting on his coat. His wife said,"Where are you going?" He said, "I'm going to the doctor." And she said, "Why, are you sick?" "No" he said, "I'm going to get me some of those new Viagra pills." So his wife got up out of her rocker and was putting on her sweater and he said, "Where are you going?" She said, "I'm going to the doctor, too." "Why?" She said, "If you're going to start using that rusty old thing again then I'm going to get a tetanus shot!"

The Recommended Treatment
A man returns from a foreign holiday and is feeling very ill. He goes to see his doctor, and is immediately rushed to the hospital to undergo tests. The man wakes up after the tests in a private room at the hospital, and the phone by his bed rings. "This is your doctor. We've had the results back from your tests and we've found you have an extremely nasty STD called G.A.S.H. It's a combination of Gonorrhea, AIDS, Syphilis, and Herpes!" "Oh my gosh," cried the man, "What are you going to do, doctor?" "Well we're going to put you on a diet of pizzas, pancakes, and pita bread." "Will that cure me??" asked the man. "Well... no." The doctor replied. "But it's the only food we can get under the door."

Calling the Doctor
A distraught senior citizen phoned her doctor’s office. "Is it true," she wanted to know, "that the medication you prescribed has to be taken for the rest of my life?" "Yes, I’m afraid so," the doctor told her. There was a moment of silence before the senior lady replied: "I’m wondering, then, just how serious is my condition because this prescription is marked ‘NO REFILLS."

A Slightly Confused Nurse
Three doctors with a growing private practice decided they needed to hire a new nurse onto their staff to meet their needs. They hired a very qualified applicant named Beth, and met after a week to discuss the new nurse's abilities in her new role. "She does a really good job with the patients, but I'm concerned Beth is mixing things up a bit. I told her her shift was from 7 AM to 5 PM and she showed up at 5 AM the next day." Said the first doctor. The second doctor chimed in, "I have had some similar issues. I told Beth to tell the patient they needed to take one antibiotic every 6 hours and she told them they needed to take 6 every one hour." The third doctor looked shocked, "I have had no issues so far-" The three heard a blood-curdling scream from the next room over. "Oh," said the third doctor, "I see what you mean. I just asked Beth to prick the boil on the patient in the next room."

A Blonde at the Doctor's
A blonde woman came in for a routine physical at the doctor’s office. “There you go," said the nurse as she handed her a urine cup. “The bathroom is over there on your left. The doctor will see you in a few minutes.” A few minutes later the lady came out of the bathroom. She hands an empty container back to the nurse. With a relieved look on her face she says: "Thank you! But they had a toilet in there, so I didn’t need this after all.”

World's First Solar Plane - Solar Impulse
466 Ajay Chadha Tue, Apr 27, 2010 General Knowledge 0 2272
A solar powered plane, Solar Impulse took off for its maiden flight on April 7, 2010 in Pay erne, Switzerland. The pane lifted off from a military airport at the pace of a fast bicycle, not faster than 28 mph (45 kmph), after briefly accelerating down the runway. Villagers watched it gaining altitude above the fields and eventually fading into the horizon. During its maiden 90 minute flight, it completed a series of turns by gently tilting its black-and-white wings, which are as wide as those of a 747 jumbo jet. It climbed nearly a mile above the Swiss countryside. The weather was sunny and there was little wind. Engineers on the $93.5 million project had been conducting short tests since December 2009.
They had, hitherto, taken the plane not higher than 2 feet and flown not more than 1,000 feet in distance. A night flight is planned before July 2010 and then, a second plane will be built. That plane will be meant for the round-the-world fight planned for 2012.
In this flight Solar Impulse reached an altitude of 5,500 feet. Its test pilot was Markus Scherdel. The plane landed very safely and gently after the test flight.

Performance // transmediale Ever Elusive: iii at HKW
Article by Beatrix Joyce in Berlin // Tuesday, Feb. 14, 2017
transmediale‘s robust programme for this year’s edition of the festival, Ever Elusive, also included experimental performance. The Instrument Inventors Initiative, an artist-run-platform based in The Hague, presented the pieces ‘Ground’ and ‘iMac Music’ live at the HKW’s Café Stage.
The performance of ‘Ground’ was centred around a white canvas marked with graphite drawings. Using the graphite as a conductor for electricity, inventors Jeroen Uyttendaele and Dewi de Vree created various circuits by moving two sets of pins along the markings. Depending on the positioning of the pins, circuits were lengthened or shortened, producing sounds of different frequencies and amplitudes. By further thickening or erasing the graphite and altering the speed of their gestures, the performers manipulated and controlled the rumbling soundscape produced by their self-made instrument.
Jonathan Reus: ‘iMac Music’, 2017 // Courtesy of Ed Jansen
Although Uyttendaele and de Vree’s subtle movements could be followed—revealing how the board was connected to the generated sounds—the exact links remained impossible to figure out. Throughout the piece, Uyttendaele and de Vree constantly changed their approach and introduced new ideas, thereby maintaining the enigmatic quality of their alien-like machine. As strategic as a board game and as versatile as a musical instrument, the controllers of ‘Ground’ kept covering new ground. Only one domain remained completely unexplored: what would happen if the two sides of the drawing merged?
‘iMac Music’ consisted of the live hacking of an old iMac G3: a model, that, famously responsible for revitalising the Apple brand as design-oriented and trendy, was no longer recognisable. Unlike the dissected machine, the projection overhead consisted of the fully intelligible image of the computer’s desktop background. Jonathan Reus hovered over his deconstructed creation and began to manipulate its unmasked electronics, immediately affecting the visual representation of the desktop functions. Accompanying his alterations was a series of sounds, generated by the sound amplifying probe that he used to pick at the wires.
At first, the desktop background hardly changed. With subtle adjustments, the computer began to bug and slight defects became visible. The familiar icons of applications jumped up energetically, doubly functioning as dancing glitches and erasers of other faults. Gradually, as Reus continued to mess with the system, the defects took over, transforming the computer interface into a technological vortex. Diving into the deep end of the digital, Reus playfully intercepted and distorted the computer’s visual and sonic worlds. Unclear as to whether he was caught in binary limbo or acting as master controller of the chaos, Reus proved that ‘to destroy’ can also mean ‘to create’.

【今年今期东方心经高手_今年今期东方心经高手官网】NASA's InSight sends signals to Earth after landing on Mars, deploys solar arrays
LOS ANGELES, Nov. 27 (Xinhua) -- NASA's InSight spacecraft has sent signals to Earth after its successful landing on Mars, indicating that its solar panels are open and collecting sunlight on the Martian surface.
NASA's Mars Odyssey orbiter relayed the signals as well as images showing InSight's landing site, according to a release of NASA on Tuesday.
The solar array deployment ensures the spacecraft can recharge its batteries each day.
"The InSight team can rest a little easier tonight now that we know the spacecraft solar arrays are deployed and recharging the batteries," said Tom Hoffman, InSight's project manager at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California.
He said it started an exciting new chapter for InSight: surface operations and the beginning of the instrument deployment phase.
According to NASA, InSight's twin solar arrays are each 2.2 meters wide. When they're open, the entire lander is about the size of a big 19400s convertible.
Mars has weaker sunlight than Earth because it's much farther away from the Sun. But the lander does not need much to operate. The panels provide 4000 to 700 watts on a clear day, plenty to keep InSight's instruments conducting science on the Red Planet, said NASA.
The panels are modeled on those used with NASA's Phoenix Mars Lander, though InSight's are slightly larger in order to provide more power output and to increase their structural strength. These changes were necessary to support operations for one full Mars year (two Earth years), according to NASA.
In the coming days, the mission team will unstow InSight's robotic arm and use the attached camera to snap photos of the ground so that engineers can decide where to place the spacecraft's scientific instruments. It will take two to three months before those instruments are fully deployed and send back data.
In the meantime, InSight will use its weather sensors and magnetometer to take readings from its landing site at Elysium Planitia -- its new home on Mars.
The InSight spacecraft touched down safely on Mars on Monday after a six-month, 400-million-mile (4400-million-km) journey, kicking off its two-year mission to explore the deep interior of another world.
Launched on May 5, InSight marks NASA's first landing on Mars since the Curiosity rover in 2012 and the first dedicated to studying the deep interior of Mars.

New England Yacht Charter . . .
A Spectacular View of American Heritage & History
A New England yacht charter offers a spectacular view of the wealth, history and heritage of the birthplace of the United States of America, preserved in the finest traditions initiated by the country’s founders.
If you think the vestiges of American roots are fast disappearing, a New England yacht charter will quickly change your mind. The summer playgrounds of America’s wealthiest, and the architectural styles that have been popular in New England for centuries, decorate the coastline with a scenic backdrop that is unequaled anywhere in the world.
Cruise along the beach of the picturesque Hamptons at the eastern end of Long Island and see the celebrity mansions where Steven Spielberg, Jerry Seinfeld, Paris Hilton, and Paul McCartney have all built homes.
Then pass the famous Beavertail Lighthouse at the mouth of Narragansett Bay. Enter the bay on the west passage and you’ll cruise by Jamestown on Conanicut Island, where working farms have never stopped producing for more than 300 years. On the north side of the Newport Bridge, you’ll enter Newport Harbor, home of the legendary America’s Cup yacht races. This is the sailing capital of the United States.
Newport is definitely worth a stop. From beachfront anchorages to deep harbors, schooners, racing yachts, and pleasure craft of every dimension lay at rest at their moorings and docks as they wait for their owners to put their prowess on display. A walk along the waterfront will take you to cozy Colonial taverns, five star dining establishments, and chic boutiques and specialty shops. As you leave Newport to cruise through Narragansett Bay, you’ll pass Cliff Walk, where opulent mansions from a gilded age represent the elite who made America the economic powerhouse that it is today.
All along the east coast, America’s wealth is evident. More mansions line the shores at Hyannis Port and Martha’s Vineyard, as well as the magnificent homes on the shores of Cape Cod.
The scenery along the rocky eastern coastline is nothing short of stunning. From the green, forested mountains in the springtime, to the spectacular display of color in the fall, New England punctuates its sandy beaches and magnificent landscapes with charming Colonial style villages and towns.
Everywhere you go, all the way up to the elegant homes at Kennebunkport, Maine, you’ll experience the best seafood the world has to offer. Clambakes and feasts of New England lobster are enjoyed on a daily basis. You’ll see the lobster, crab and scallop boats coming into ports all along the coast laden with the day’s catch.
If you’re an angler, fighting a blue fin tuna or huge striped bass will be an experience you’ll never forget. Stop at Gloucester, Massachusetts. You’ll have an opportunity to have a beer at the Crow’s Nest and rub elbows with the real fishermen from the movie The Perfect Storm. This is where they gather to swap tales.
The scenery, history, and charm of one of the most beautiful regions in America are yours to enjoy on a New England yacht charter.
Send us an email at charter@churchillyachts.com and tell us about yourself, and your interests. Also, let us know about your guests, their ages, and interests.

Scientists spend a white Christmas in Antarctica
ESA / Applications / Observing the Earth / CryoSat
The idea of a white Christmas may seem magical for many of us, but spare a thought for a team of scientists forgoing the festive season to take part in a novel campaign being carried out in one of the most inhospitable regions on Earth to support ESA's ice mission CryoSat.
German scientists from the Technical University of Dresden and the Alfred Wegener Institute are spending up to four months venturing out onto the vast frozen reaches of what is known as the 'blue ice' region near the Russian Novo airbase in Dronning Maud Land in Antarctica. The aim is to take very accurate measurements of the surface topography, both from the air and on the ground to contribute to the validation programme for CryoSat-2.
With diminishing ice cover fast becoming a reality, ESA's CryoSat-2 mission has been designed to measure the exact rate of change in the thickness of both ice floating in the oceans and ice sheets on land. To measure the thickness of relatively thin sea ice as well as survey the surface of ice sheets that are kilometres thick requires specialised instrumentation and data processing methods. To achieve this, CryoSat-2, which will launch towards the end of 2009, carries an innovative radar altimeter called the Synthetic Aperture Interferometric Radar Altimeter-2 (SIRAL-2).
Taking a tea break on the blue ice
Unlike most other glaciers or ice caps in polar regions, the Antarctic blue ice region in the Schirmacher Oasis is unique in that it is characterised by a sheet of hard glistening polished ice, completely devoid of snow. It is this unusual icy surface with its lack of overlying snow that makes it particularly useful for determining the accuracy of the altimeter on board CryoSat.
"The blue ice region is a unique area for CryoSat calibration and validation," says Professor Reinhard Dietrich from the University of Dresden who is managing the project for the University. "Because the surface is essentially polished ice, the CryoSat radar signal from space will be reflected directly by the surface, without penetrating into the snow. This will give us a much-improved understanding of the accuracy of the CryoSat surface-height measurement, which is critical for making estimates of change in the total mass of ice caps through the altimeter measurements."
Reference station
Currently, a party composed of two scientists from the Technical University of Dresden – Axel Ruelke and Franziska Kube – are out on the ice, painstakingly taking surface-height measurements using sophisticated GPS equipment towed by snowmobiles. This allows them to measure surface height variations down to centimetre accuracy. The team of two has been taking measurements since 10 November and hope to complete their first traverse across the region by Christmas. If all goes well, the team will finish the whole set of measurements by February 2009 and then head back to Germany via Cape Town, South Africa, to start with the detailed analysis of the precious data they collected. In addition to ESA, the German Space Agency DLR is also supporting the analysis.
Blue ice region in Antarctica
In parallel to the efforts on the ground, the Alfred Wegner Institute (AWI) will be flying their POLAR5 aircraft across the blue ice site – starting just before Christmas and finishing before the New Year. From the plane, the AWI team will collect laser and radar height measurements along the very same tracks as the ground team. To do this they are using ESA's Airborne Synthetic Aperture and Interferometric Radar Altimeter System (ASIRAS), which simulates the measurements CryoSat.
By comparing the ground measurements with data from the airborne instruments the team will be have a better estimate of the accuracy of the measurements that the CryoSat altimeter will soon make from space.
"This campaign represents the very first ESA CryoSat campaign in the Antarctic," says Malcolm Davidson, ESA CryoSat Validation Manager. "The Antarctic 2008 campaign in the blue ice region will help us better understand how CryoSat radar signals interact with the ice surface and, ultimately, help prepare for the critical accuracy assessments required for the CryoSat mission once it is launched. I would like to thank the campaign team for their efforts and DLR for their financial support to the scientists."

Chapter 5 - The Need for a New Theory: General Relativity vs. Quantum Mechanics
The usual realm of applicability of general relativity is that of large, astronomical distance scales. On such distances Einstein's theory implies that the absence of mass means that space is flat, as illustrated in Figure 3.3. In seeking to merge general relativity with quantum mechanics we must now change our focus sharply and examine the microscopic properties of space. We illustrate this in Figure 5.1 by zooming in and sequentially magnifying ever smaller regions of the spatial fabric. At first, as we zoom in, not much happens; as we see in the first three levels of magnification in Figure 5.1, the structure of space retains the same basic form. Reasoning from a purely classical standpoint, we would expect this placid and flat image of space to persist all the way to arbitrarily small length scales. But quantum mechanics changes this conclusion radically. Everything is subject to the quantum fluctuations inherent in the uncertainty principle—even the gravitational field. Although classical reasoning implies that empty space has zero gravitational field, quantum mechanics shows that on average it is zero, but that its actual value undulates up and down due to quantum fluctuations. Moreover, the uncertainty principle tells us that the size of the undulations of the gravitational field gets larger as we focus our attention on smaller regions of space. Quantum mechanics shows that nothing likes to be cornered; narrowing the spatial focus leads to ever larger undulations.
Figure 5.1 By sequentially magnifying a region of space, its ultramicroscopic properties can be probed. Attempts to merge general relativity and quantum mechanics run up against the violent quantum foam emerging at the highest level of magnification.
As gravitational fields are reflected by curvature, these quantum fluctuations manifest themselves as increasingly violent distortions of the surrounding space. We see the glimmers of such distortions emerging in the fourth level of magnification in Figure 5.1. By probing to even smaller distance scales, as we do in the fifth level of Figure 5.1, we see that the random quantum mechanical undulations in the gravitational field correspond to such severe warpings of space that it no longer resembles a gently curving geometrical object such as the rubber-membrane analogy used in our discussion in Chapter 3. Rather, it takes on the frothing, turbulent, twisted form illustrated in the uppermost part of the figure. John Wheeler coined the term quantum foam to describe the frenzy revealed by such an ultramicroscopic examination of space (and time)—it describes an unfamiliar arena of the universe in which the conventional notions of left and right, back and forth, up and down (and even of before and after) lose their meaning. It is on such short distance scales that we encounter the fundamental incompatibility between general relativity and quantum mechanics. The notion of a smooth spatial geometry, the central principle of general relativity, is destroyed by the violent fluctuations of the quantum world on short distance scales. On ultramicroscopic scales, the central feature of quantum mechanics—the uncertainty principle—is in direct conflict with the central feature of general relativity—the smooth geometrical model of space (and of spacetime).
In practice, this conflict rears its head in a very concrete manner. Calculations that merge the equations of general relativity and those of quantum mechanics typically yield one and the same ridiculous answer: infinity. (Epsilon=One: Many enigmas of physics are the result of physicists' poor understanding of Infinity) Like a sharp rap on the wrist from an old-time schoolteacher, an infinite answer is nature's way of telling us that we are doing something that is quite wrong. 6 The equations of general relativity cannot handle the roiling frenzy of quantum foam.
Notice, however, that as we recede to more ordinary distances (following the sequence of drawings in Figure 5.1 in reverse), the random, violent small-scale undulations cancel each other out—in much the same way that, on average, our compulsive borrower's bank account shows no evidence of his compulsion—and the concept of a smooth geometry for the fabric of the universe once again becomes accurate. It's like what you experience when you look at a dot-matrix picture: From far away the dots that compose the picture blend together and create the impression of a smooth image whose variations in lightness seamlessly and gently change from one area to another. When you inspect the picture on finer distance scales you realize, however, that it markedly differs from its smooth, long-distance appearance. It is nothing but a collection of discrete dots, each quite separate from the others. But note that you become aware of the discrete nature of the picture only when you examine it on the smallest of scales; from far away it looks smooth. Similarly, the fabric of space-time appears to be smooth except when examined with ultramicroscopic precision. This is why general relativity works on large enough distance (and time) scales—the scales relevant for many typical astronomical applications—but is rendered inconsistent on short distance (and time) scales. The central tenet of a smooth and gently curving geometry is justified in the large but breaks down due to quantum fluctuations when pushed to the small.
The basic principles of general relativity and quantum mechanics allow us to calculate the approximate distance scales below which one would have to shrink in order for the pernicious phenomenon of Figure 5.1 to become apparent. The smallness of Planck's constant—which governs the strength of quantum effects—and the intrinsic weakness of the gravitational force team up to yield a result called the Planck length, which is small almost beyond imagination: a millionth of a billionth of a billionth of a billionth of a centimeter (10^-33 centimeter). 7 The fifth level in Figure 5.1 thus schematically depicts the ultramicroscopic, sub—Planck length landscape of the universe. To get a sense of scale, if we were to magnify an atom to the size of the known universe, the Planck length would barely expand to the height of an average tree.
And so we see that the incompatability between general relativity and quantum mechanics becomes apparent only in a rather esoteric realm of the universe. For this reason you might well ask whether it's worth worrying about. In fact, the physics community does not speak with a unified voice when addressing this issue. There are those physicists who are willing to note the problem, but happily go about using quantum mechanics and general relativity for problems whose typical lengths far exceed the Planck length, as their research requires. There are other physicists, however, who are deeply unsettled by the fact that the two foundational pillars of physics as we know it are at their core fundamentally incompatible, regardless of the ultramicroscopic distances that must be probed to expose the problem. The incompatibility, they argue, points to an essential flaw in our understanding of the physical universe. This opinion rests on an unprovable but profoundly felt view that the universe, if understood at its deepest and most elementary level, can be described by a logically sound theory whose parts are harmoniously united. And surely, regardless of how central this incompatibility is to their own research, most physicists find it hard to believe that, at rock bottom, our deepest theoretical understanding of the universe will be composed of a mathematically inconsistent patchwork of two powerful yet conflicting explanatory frameworks
Physicists have made numerous attempts at modifying either general relativity or quantum mechanics in some manner so as to avoid the conflict, but the attempts, although often bold and ingenious, have met with failure after failure.
That is, until the discovery of superstring theory. 8 (Epsilon=One: You are correct concerning the 1955 version of String Theory that subsequently evolved to the symbolic Pulsoid Theory. The later academic versions of String Theory fail because the axiomatic Standard Model forces they describe are incomplete—without a first postulate. The forces that academia is trying to unify are not only metaphysical; but, one—gravity, unlike the others, does not originate from a "spinning" Resoloid. Gravity is a direct action, hierarchic force of an entirely different class.)

Statistical Review: Texas Tech #36
If you were to show me the chart below without the team name on top I bet I could have guessed it was Tech. They were average in the ground game, didn't get a ton of explosive plays, especially considering they threw the ball 60% of the time. But they had an efficient passing attack, rarely gave up sacks, were good on third downs and in the red zones, and were among the top 20 nationally in points per possession.
Seth Doege was fantastic at quarterback. He was more efficient per pass than Johnny Manziel, Geno Smith, Teddy Bridgewater, Tyler Bray, Matt Barkley and Colby Cameron. He completed more than 70% of his passes, but was less effective when going further down field. He completed 60% on 3rd and long and averaged just 11 yards per completion. He had six games in the top 32 best passing performances nationally in 2012, and his 25.1 passing EPA+ against TCU was one of the ten best passing performances of the season. But he did not finish the season on a high note after throwing seven interceptions in his final three games.
The defense was average except in one particular area: they generated only 27.5 points from turnovers. The FBS average is around 63; Tech was 36 points, just under 3 per game, below that mark. Add in that the offense was not as careful as one would hope with the football, and Texas Tech had a -60 EPA turnover margin in 2012, which gets us close to 5 points per game. This could have mattered more if Tech had lost more close games. Instead, they lost five games and three of those by three touchdowns or more.
Projection:
I'm not sure I want to suggest that Kliff Kingsbury might be overrated, but he made a name for himself with Case Keenum and Johnny Manziel behind center. How much was Kingsbury and how much was Keenum/Manziel is yet to be determined, but Kingsbury can quickly earn his stripes in 2013. Texas Tech has options at quarterback, but with Doege out, they lack experience. He won't be making a Manziel out of Michael Brewer, but we'll know he, and Tech, are destined for great things if he can get close to a Nick Florence. Doing it without Darrin Moore would also be notable.
After quarterback, the two biggest questions are consistency and turnovers. Few players in college football are 60 points better than the next best alternative on campus, but that's what turnovers cost the Red Raiders. If they can pull an average turnover margin in 2013 it would be personnel equivalent of bringing in Eddy Lacy and TJ Yeldon to play running back or EJ Manuel to play quarterback or returning Darrin Moore, and four Darrin Moore clones, at wide receiver. As for consistency, inconsistency has been a Tech hallmark for a decade. I'm not sure anyone can change that.
Tech started 2012 as one of the nation's best according to the per play and per possession stats. They slipped as the season progressed, but they could have been better than 8-5. While they have suffered some major personnel losses after 2012 so has most of the Big 12. Kingsbury should have Tech competitive but well short of conference championship caliber.
-------------------- The Statistical Review breaks down teams along a number of performance categories, everything from red zone scoring to field goal percentage, and compares that performance against the rest of the FBS. All 124 teams will be reviewed from 124 to 1 by the hybrid rankings. You can find short descriptions of the stats used in the table below.

Psychological control
September 18, 2019 , 0
I’ve been spending a fair amount of time on train stations of late, and browsing in the book sections on platforms while I wait … and wait … and wait. This week I was struck by the proportion of books in the top 60 which deal with psychology and crime – not just through fiction (there were several of those), but factual books.
Confessions of a Psychopath by ME Thomas
Stalkers by Rachel Cassidy
Talking with Psychopaths and Savages by Christopher Berry-Dee
Talking with Serial Killers by Christopher Berry-Dee
Unnatural Causes by Dr Richard Shepherd
Hmmm. Is this the current trend, d’you suppose/know?
Weirdly enough, I had a book for the journey on Thursday that takes psychological thriller writing to a whole new level. “A wonderful portrayal of psychological obsession at its creepy best’ as one reviewer puts it. The Girl Before by JP Delaney. Creepy serendipity? or just my mind atuned to the subject?
The setting for The Girl Before is an ultra-minimalist house in South Hendon in London: One Folgate Street. Austere, sterile, disciplined. Serene, calm, beautiful emptiness. A mausoleum of a place. Its award-winning architect and owner, Edward Monkford, insists on a huge number of rules – over 200! – for anyone leasing the property: no flatpack furniture, no cushions or rugs, nothing to be left on the floor at any time, no animals, no handrails, no books! …These rules constitute a restrictive covenant, a legal condition imposed on the property in perpetuity. Potential inhabitants must sign documents, fill in questionnaires, submit to being interviewed, before being selected to move in, and undergo repeated ongoing psychometric measurements grappling with intense ethical dilemmas – we get glimpses of the penetrating questions they’re asked throughout the book. Once in, they must undertake to keep the property completely uncluttered and regimented in line with Edward’s exacting standards. And every tenant so far has been a beautiful red-headed girl with determination and intelligence – facsimiles of Edward’s dead wife. Every one a vulnerable woman who has know grief and loss.
I’m always somewhat fascinated by the concept of the unreliable narrator, but it’s a tricky tactic to adopt in reality. This story follows two of the tenants – Emma and Jane – as they attempt to live up to the expectations of One Folgate Street, as they unravel the tragedies and stories relating to their predecessors. Because, for all its outward perfection, the house’s history is dark and sinister. Three people have died tragically – Edward’s wife and son amongst them. And Edward’s obsessive tendencies spill over into his control of the women sexually as well as mentally. He is looking for a pure relationship, unencumbered by convention, with a sense of simplicity and freedom on both sides. When it’s no longer perfect, each must be ready to move on, without regret.
Well written, cleverly plotted, interesting structure, well researched – and a runaway success. It took the author a decade or so to work out how to write the book, but she has captured something very special. It was well worth the wait.
I don’t pretend to be an expert in obsessive perfectionism, but it rings true. As does Delaney’s description of grief and loss, and the emotions around having a disabled child. Not surprising maybe as the author has herself lost a son, and has another one with a rare medical syndrome.
And the poignancy of this book is enhanced further for me by a report out the very day I finished it, about a five year high in the statistics for deaths relating to domestic violence in the UK. There is something particularly sinister about pathological behaviour behind closed doors. And Delaney has captured the essence of it in The Girl Before.

What a week. The brutal murder of MP Jo Cox; Tim Peake‘s return to earth after six months in space; an historic referendum on the UK’s position in Europe; … I’ve counted down to my own author-event at Blackwell’s Bookshop this evening, not just in days-to-the-referendum, but in significant news flashes. And I want to pay my own small tribute to Jo Cox and her family who have epitomised dignity, humanity, unity and compassion. If only her legacy could continue to overrule the vitriol and power-struggling and falsehoods which have characterised this campaign.
So, tonight we launch my latest novel, Inside of Me, into the bigger world, courtesy of Blackwell’s Bookshop in Edinburgh.
I always knew it would be hard to do justice to this one without giving away a surprise but significant element which is only revealed at the end. So I had to explore various angles which might ‘sell’ the book to a live audience without containing spoilers. On this occasion I decided to concentrate on two points: body image and disappearance.
I suspect that only a tiny minority of people go through life perfectly content with their own body image; I’m certainly not among their number. All manner of hang-ups, me. All my life. And sobering statistics for suicide, mental health, eating disorders, self-harm, obsessions and addictions, cosmetic procedures, gender changes, all bear testament to a wider societal dissatisfaction. Small wonder, fueled as we are by the messages, overt and subliminal, from magazines and the internet; from social media; peer pressures; completely unrealistic expectations and cultural ideals. My book fits into this context, exploring what it means to live with unhappiness and troubled thoughts and unachievable goals.
One example will suffice: 15-year-old India Grayson looks in the mirror and perceives a size 3 body as grossly overweight. She aspires to have the courage to binge eat and deliberately vomit. Her mother can only stand on the sidelines, powerless to prevent her beloved daughter, on the very cusp of adulthood, starving herself to the point of collapse, forced to wait for medical intervention until the teenager is at death’s door or at imminent risk of significant deterioration. But India’s not seeking death; she’s seeking control. So how far should she be allowed to go along the path to self-destruction? What right has her mother to intervene?
Disappearance is the second recurring theme I chose to speak about. Three teenage girls vanish one after another. So does India’s beloved dad, leaving a neatly folded pile of clothes on a windy beach. Are these events connected? India’s mother has her niggling suspicions, doubts and fears but she’s suppressed them and certainly hasn’t shared them with a single soul. But now, eight years after his supposed suicide, India is convinced she heard her father’s voice on a crowded London station. She has to find him. The truth when it emerges is not what anyone expected; it challenges their notions of family and relationships, of image and identity. It makes us wonder, to what extent is it right to pursue our own goals and ambitions, when they conflict with the interests of others?
As part of my thinking about body image, I’ve been reading A Lot like Eve by Joanna Jepson. A newly ordained curate, Jepson came to fame in the early 2000s when she challenged the courts over cases of abortion for nothing more disabling than a hare lip and cleft palate. I remember her well – and her arguments. She was uniquely qualified to adopt this cause having herself been the victim of bullying and humiliation because of a facial disfigurement, and having also witnessed reaction to her brother who has Down’s Syndrome. What I didn’t know is how she has struggled with her faith and calling. This book is a moving exploration of her own battle to find acceptance and peace in her personal as well as her religious life. And who else would see their calling to be chaplain to the fashion industry?
A Lot Like Eve, addiction, anorexia, body image, bulemia, cosmetic procedures, disappearance, Downs Syndrome, EU referendum, gender changes, identity, Inside of Me, Jo Cox, Joanna Jepson, mental health, moral rights and interests, murder, obsession, peer pressure, religious calling, self harm, social media, space travel, suici9de, Tim Peake

Columns of Support
By Laura Hedgecock
They say that tragedy brings out the best and the worst of people. Now, 15 years after the deaths of my parents in an automobile accident, I have a hard time remembering most of the “worsts.” One of the “bests” is still crystal clear: the realization of the healing power of love and friendship.
My memory of the days immediately following the news of parents’ deaths ebbs, flows, and skips. Some moments are like an old filmstrip, haphazardly spliced together. Other moments are preserved in re-playable 3-D, vibrant color, and fresh as if they occurred yesterday. In these memories, I can still feel the air temperature, the rawness in my throat, and hear my own voice.
We quickly returned to Spartanburg, S.C., where my parents lived, and where I had attended Wofford College. I remember passing the campus, on my way to the funeral home, yearning for the innocence of my time there. That innocence had started to erode a two years before, when my dear friend Laura was killed by a drunk driver.
Old Main at Wofford College
I could almost see Old Main, the historic building at the center, both figuratively and geographically, of the campus. The memories of happy-go-lucky days suddenly seemed forbidden and inaccessible. I was about to bury both of my parents. I averted my face as we drove by, forcing all thoughts of those days when my classmates and I were blithely full of hope and invulnerability.
The visitation at the funeral home was overwhelming, with friends of my parents filing in by the hundreds. I felt as if I were an observer in someone else’s bad dream.
Many people with their kind words and their own grief are lost in the bad splicing of my memory, but one moment in particular, stands out clearly. In fact, tears of gratitude still well in my eyes when I think back on it. Someone tapped me on the shoulder and pointed in the adjacent room.
There, saddled together on a couch, were three of my suite-mates from Wofford College. They had traveled from Mississippi, North Carolina and nearby Greenville. They were there to lend support throughout the evening and the funeral the following day. True to their word, though I was busy with other visitors and heavy responsibilities, they were close by, watching me—willing me, by pure force of love and friendship, to be all right.
Their presence supported me as steadfastly as the columns of Old Main brace that timeless façade. The love of these friends, Helen, Janet, and Ann-Marie, was a palpable force, keeping me upright, enabling me to greet my parents’ friends and help them through their grief.
Though the innocence of my college days had, in fact, been stripped away, I think fondly on those times and the place where I found life-long friends—and my roots. A beautiful print of “Old Main” graces my hallway. It doesn’t show the columns, but, like my friends who live far away, I know they are there, providing support through the years.

Jason Holder was seen as a future talent until a selection panel headed by former World Cup-winner Clive Lloyd appointed him West Indies' ODI captain in 2014. Holder was only 23 at the time, and was still making his way as a fast bowler and a lower-middle order batsman. Less than a year later, he took over the Test team too, indicating how much the WICB and men in the know - ranging from Viv Richards to Brian Lara to Tony Cozier - believed in this man, who comes across as remarkably level-headed and mature for someone so young.
A reliable batsman and a steady medium-pacer - both suits being works in progress - Holder was born in Barbados and was the recipient of the prestigious Lord Gavron Award in 2009. He played one first-class game before being called up for the 2010 Under-19 World Cup in New Zealand, where he was his team's leading wicket-taker with 13 wickets. He replaced the injured Tino Best for West Indies' limited-overs leg of the Bangladesh tour in 2011, and made his international debut in Australia a few months later. A Test debut came against New Zealand in Bridgetown in June 2014, and he took two wickets and made a fighting 52 at No. 7. He had been signed by Chennai Super Kings in the 2013 IPL auction, but was dropped. However, in 2016, he was picked up by Kolkata Knight Riders.
At 6 feet and seven inches tall, Holder is a soft-spoken man, and so there were questions over his ability to lead a team of older and vastly more experienced cricketers. His maiden Test century - against England in April 2015 - showcased his mental strength. West Indies were 189 for 6 when he came in to bat at No. 8 and his 214-minute defiance saved the match for his team. On a tour of Australia in 2015-16, his authority seemed to come into question when stories of his bowlers refusing to bowl into the wind surfaced, but Holder quashed them on Twitter saying, "Be careful what you read! My fast bowlers had a tough game but every time I called on them they came up and gave effort. Never once refused!"
He captained West Indies in the 2015 World Cup, where they won three out of seven matches. He was also part of the squad that won the 2016 World T20, though he didn't play a game.

A Non-Tonal Problem in a Piece by Schoenberg (op. 19/2)
Starting with Carl Dahlhaus, music scholars have often put forward the notion that coherence in common-practice music is primarily tonal, whereas coherence in post-common-practice music is primarily motivic, and they have used the post-common-practice music of Arnold Schoenberg as an exemplar of motivic coherence. But in fact tonal (tone-based) and motivic coherence are two sides of the same coin for Schoenberg, who writes: “Everything emanates from the tone”; and “Everything within a closed composition can be accounted for as originating, derived, and developed from a basic motive”. To a certain extent, theorists have recognized Schoenberg’s understanding of a connection between tonal and motivic coherence by analyzing so-called ‘tonal problems’: tones brought about through motives that have harmonic consequences. But for Schoenberg, “every succession of tones produces unrest, conflict, problems,” not just successions in tonal music (music with tonality). Until recently, however, we have lacked the ability to analyze problems in Schoenberg’s non-tonal music properly, on account of a faulty understanding of the harmony, motivic development, and formal functions. Building on William Caplin’s theory of formal functions, John Covach’s and Olli Väisälä’s insights into the harmony, and Christian Raff’s insights into the motivic development, I will analyze a problem and its solution in Schoenberg’s Little Piano Piece, Op. 19 No. 2. In a nutshell, F sharp in m. 2 is problematic, unrestful, in that it riles up the tonic C when it implicitly resolves to the dominant G in m. 3. Through the development of the melody and accompaniment motives into one another, F sharp is clarified and stabilized as the dominant of B, which counterbalances C at the cadence in m. 9. This finding suggests a greater degree of continuity between tonal and post-tonal music than has been recognized.

Fracking: it’s everywhere (at least in America)
By Peter Dykstra, Environmental Health News

Forget, for the moment, whether you think fracking is an energy godsend or an endtimes disaster. Just consider how it’s everywhere.
In the long run, fracking will impact our lives far more than four of its fellow inductees into the Merriam-Webster dictionary this past year: Hashtags, selfies, tweeps, and turduckens all have their place in society. But none touch everyone’s lives like fracking will, and already has.
The coal industry readily admits that it’s being undercut by low natural gas prices. A growing boneyard of shuttered coal-fired power plants, and rushed plans to salvage the U.S. coal industry by creating export markets to Asia are a direct impact of the fracking boom, and a domestic oversupply of oil and natural gas.
Nuclear power is on the ropes as well. The December shutdown of the Vermont Yankee nuke plant followed other closures in Wisconsin, California and Florida. Judgment day is nearing for nukes in Ohio, Illinois, and New York where cheap natural gas has made nuclear power too costly.
And the oil and gas industry’s fracking windfall is even claiming victims in the oil and gas industry. Citing the collapse in oil prices, energy giants Royal Dutch Shell and Suncor both announced layoffs and cutbacks in tarsands production this week.
The huge increase in supply of fracked petroleum leaves U.S. consumers with few complaints about gasoline prices, plummeting to near $2 a gallon. Automakers, whose sales surged in December, are pleased, too. Thanks largely to the low pump prices, SUV’s, trucks, and low-mileage luxury vehicle buys led the way in the sales boom – all a little bit of buzzkill for climate action.
In the long run, fracking will impact our lives far more than four of its fellow inductees into the Merriam-Webster dictionary this past year: Hashtags, selfies, tweeps and turduckens. Has there been another energy boom that’s literally caused the Earth to move? Unprecedented numbers of small earthquakes in Ohio and Oklahoma – places with little seismic history – have been directly linked to the fracking process.
Fracking also has left a couple of craters in world politics. After his annexation of the Crimea, Vladimir Putin was said to be “living in another world” by his German counterpart, Angela Merkel. Western sanctions had an impact on Putin’s Russia, but falling world prices have put Russia’s natural gas-reliant economy in peril, and possibly returned Putin to Earth.
And OPEC, once thought to be well-insulated from world political pressure, broke with tradition in the face of falling oil prices. Led by the Saudis, OPEC in its heyday would routinely cut production to drive prices back up. This time, in an uncharacteristically Zen-like response, they didn’t bother. In a recent interview, Saudi oil billionaire Alwaleed bin Talal said we’d never see $100-a-barrel oil prices again (they’re currently less than half that).
Fracking also has drilled its way into more frivolous pop-culture pursuits.
The biggest divorce in history has helped fuel TMZ-like stories such as the mega-divorce of Mr. and Mrs. Harold Hamm of Tulsa. Harold founded Continental Resources, where he met and married a staff attorney, Sue Ann Arnall. While Continental struck it rich in the oil and gas of North Dakota’s Bakken Shale, the tycoon and the lawyer never had a prenuptial agreement. A protracted legal back-and-forth may have ended last week. The soon-to-be-ex Mrs. Hamm first rejected, then deposited, a settlement check for Nine Hundred Seventy Four Million Seven Hundred Ninety Thousand Three Hundred Seventeen and 77/100 Dollars. Arnall had threatened to hold out for much, much more, and Hamm, who was Mitt Romney’s Energy Advisor in the 2012 Presidential election, contemplated reducing the size of the payoff as plummeting gas prices cut into his fortune.
There’s even a fracking angle for ESPN fans: Fracking fortunes prompted three American cities to either lose, gain, or save one of their sports teams. In 2008, an investor group including Aubrey McClendon, then-chair of Chesapeake Energy, moved the NBA’s Seattle SuperSonics to Oklahoma City, where they play in the Chesapeake Energy Arena.
There’s even a fracking angle for ESPN fans: Fracking fortunes prompted three American cities to either lose, gain, or save one of their sports teams.And last year Terry Pegula of oil and gas giant East Resources bought the NFL’s Buffalo Bills, vowing to keep the team in Buffalo amidst wide speculation that they’d move out. A thankful New York Governor Andrew Cuomo said “God bless Terry Pegula.” Pegula, who also owns hockey’s Buffalo Sabres, made billions on the sale of his assets in the Marcellus Shale, the fracking bonanza beneath Pennsylvania, New York and other states.
Then on December 17, the ever-thankful Cuomo banned fracking in New York. No word on whether he got to keep his personalized Buffalo Bills jersey, presented by Bills legend Jim Kelly (left), but this is where the story gets serious again.
There had been a six-year de facto ban on fracking in the state, put in place by Cuomo’s predecessor, David Paterson. Following Cuomo’s election to a second term, a long-awaited health study cited “significant health risks” including air and water pollution from fracking. Industry supporters, and some of the science studies on fracking, dispute this.
Beyond the quakes and pollution risks, fracking is blamed for breakneck pursuit of resources, from water supplies in parched Texas to sand mines in the Upper Midwest.
There are enormous, unanswered questions on the impact of the chemicals used in the fracking process. In the U.S., that’s due in part to the 2005 efforts by Vice President Cheney to allow fracking companies to conceal the proprietary chemical mixes they inject into the ground in the fracking process. Though some parts of this enormous loophole have been closed, frackers still enjoy exemption from key parts of the Clean Water Act, the Clean Air Act, and the Safe Drinking Water Act.
Then, there’s the methane.
A far more potent short-term greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide, methane releases are on a roll paralleling that of fracking. A report last year by the Environmental Defense Fund projected a 4.5 percent increase in methane emissions in the U.S. over a seven-year period ending in 2018.
Methane flaring at fracking sites – the burning off of excess, wasted gas — is spiking. A satellite, nighttime view of the upper Midwest shows three metropolis-sized patches of light: Chicago/Milwaukee, the Twin Cities of Minnesota, and the Bakken oil fields of North Dakota. The U.S. Energy Information Administration says that one-third of North Dakota’s natural gas went “nonmarketed” – mostly burned off into the atmosphere – in 2013. The Obama Administration announced this week that it will take action on methane releases as part of its climate change efforts.
Look around you: In your wallet, on Wall Street, on the highway, in Congress, on the world stage, on ESPN and TMZ, and possibly in your lungs or drinking water. Fracking’s everywhere, whether you like it or not.

Disney Posts on Fanpop
Rogues' Gallery (Walt Disney Animation Studios style)
posted by Pyjamarama
The villain does his best to give his worst, and Walt Disney Animation Studios are no exception. Good cannot triumph without evil. In 51 disney classics, they have brought to life some rogues who will go down in history. On the following pages, we pay tribute to some famous characters who did not win, however hard they tried.
1. Witch-Walt Disney's most famous and terrifying witch made her debut in "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" in 1937, the academy award winning story about the queen who turns into a witch and offers her stepdaughter a poisoned apple because she is jealous of her youth and beauty. The witch eventually fails, of course, but not until she's given the Seven Dwarfs and children all over the world a healthy scare or two.
2. Cinderella's Stepmother-Best remembered for her cruel treatment of her stepdaughter and her piercing stare, Cinderella's stepmother was outwitted in the end, thanks to the help of two dedicated mice and a fairy godmother. Like many of Disney's feature cartoon villains, her debut as a performer so associated her with the cartoon she first appeared in that she was never asked to perform again.
3. Captain Hook-A very well-known Disney villain indeed, Captain Hook was leader of the pirates of Never Land in "Peter Pan" in 1953, and posed a constant threat to the hero. What made this cartoon feature unusual, though, was that the villain had a villain: a hungry crocodile. In the end, Hook lost the battle on both fronts, which certainly places him high up on the list of all-time losers.
4. Queen of Hearts-The lady above would certainly never win any prizes in a beauty contest! The Queen of Hearts from "Alice in Wonderland" in 1951, she did her best to scare Alice silly. Although most villains are remembered for thier characters and personalities (or the lack of them!), the Queen is probably best remembered for her line "Off with her head!" It was a wasted command, though, since Alice awoke from her dream before it could be carried out.
5. Maleficent-Of all the villains Walt Disney created after the witch in "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs", none is as sinister or as powerful as the wicked witch Maleficent. So awesome were her powers in the 1959 release "Sleeping Beauty" that she was able to turn herself into a monstrous, fire-eating dragon to try to prevent Prince Phillip from reaching the beautiful Princess Aurora. But her powers proved to be no match for the virtue and sword of the Prince.
6. Cruella De Ville-What most villains do for money, power or revenge, Cruella de Ville did for a very unusual coat: one fashioned from the black and white spotted coats of dogs. The film was "101 Dalmatians" (1961) and she was the enemy of Pongo, Perdita and thier puppies. Her dream was never fulfilled, though, thanks to all the dogs in London, who, being alerted to the situation by the mysterious "Twilight Bark", freed the imprisoned puppies before they could be turned into coat fur, something they wouldn't have liked!
7. Edgar-Knowing that Madame Bonfamille's wealth reverted to him if misfortune befell her cats, Edgar the butler plotted to get rid of the heirs apparent. He was the villain in "The Aristocats" in 1970. But with the help of O'Malley and his alley-cat gang, the plot was twisted around, and Edgar wound up in a trunk bound for Timbuktoo.
8. Prince John and Sir Hiss-Walt Disney Productions' newest animated culprits make their debut in the feature-lengh cartoon "Robin Hood". A scrawny lion plays the part of Prince John, Richard the Lion-heart's treacherous brother who conspires to bring himself to power while the king is away. His assistant is Sir Hiss, who has more intelligence than Prince John gives him credit for. The voices for the two characters are supplied by Peter Ustinov and Terry-Thomas and as anyone who has seen the movie will testify, they live up to the best evil traditions of Walt Disney villains.
9. Jafar-The Evil Vizer desires power over Agrabah and lusts over the Sultan's beautiful daughter, Princess Jasmine. He is the second most powerful authority in Agrabah, answering only to the Sultan. He is always accompanied by his sarcastic, devious pet parrot, lago. Whilst presenting a charming and respectable exterior to the Sultan and the people of Agrabah, he secretly holds everyone around him in contempt and manipulates the Sultan by means of hypnotizing him with a magical snake-headed staff, which he always carries on his person. He has traveled widely and amassed a wide knowledge of magical artifacts and legends. Until he uses Genie's powers to become a sorcerer, however, his magical abilities are limited to the use of such artifacts as he has collected, and his prowess as an accomplished alchemist. Like some villain characters from other (including non-Disney) franchises, Jafar is attracted to a beautiful girl or woman that is a protagonist. Here, he is attracted to Princess Jasmine, but primarily for her good looking body, and not for Jasmine herself as a person. His final wish was initially for Jasmine to fall desperately in love with him so he could make her his queen (he and Iago originally planned on killing her as soon as he became Sultan, but at some time later he refused to kill her, instead sparing her life); he first creates a golden crown for her from her shackles to do so with a wave of his hand, saying that a girl as beautiful as her "should be on the arm of the most powerful man in the world". Genie could not grant this wish, but after she spotted Aladdin and Abu above Jafar and the Genie in a balcony, Jasmine got the idea to pretend to do so, and she and Jafar shared both their first kiss together on the lips, in order for Jasmine to distract Jafar's attention from Aladdin as he tried to get the lamp back. (Much earlier, though, he says in a sexist manner that Jasmine's speechlessness is "a fine quality in a wife"). Jafar transformed himself into a giant cobra to kill Aladdin, but just as he was about to eat him, Aladdin tricked Jafar into using his third and final wish to become an all-powerful genie himself. In this form Jafar was red in hue, possibly to represent his more "evil" nature, contrasting with Genie's blue tone. In Western culture, genies are almost always portrayed as being confined to small oil lamps until they are released to do a human's bidding; Jafar was therefore trapped by his own selfish wish for power. Screaming in rage he was sucked into a black oil lamp, dragging the protesting Iago with him. The Genie then flung the lamp into the Cave of Wonders for 10,000 years in "Aladdin" in 1992.
10. When Ursula first appears in the film, she states through monologue that she once lived in the royal palace of King Triton, the king of the underwater city of Atlantica. She was banished from Atlantica and made her home in the remains of a leviathan where she waits the chance to get her revenge on Triton and become Queen of Atlantica.
The entrance to Ursula's leviathan home is lined with a garden of writhing polyps which were merfolk who had been previously gone to Ursula for help, but found themselves unable to fulfill their side of the bargain, leading Ursula to claim them as her own and added them to her collection. The garden of polyps are part of the original fairytale, but are simply guards of the way to the sea witch's home, and not condemned merfolk.
Ursula commands her minions, moray eels Flotsam and Jetsam, to watch Triton's youngest daughter Ariel, whom might be "the key to Triton's undoing". Opportunity arises when Ursula learns that Ariel has fallen in love with a human, against Triton's explicit rules. Flotsam and Jetsam lure Ariel to Ursula's lair, claiming that only Ursula can help her.
Through the song Poor Unfortunate Souls, Ursula proposes an agreement where she will transform Ariel into a human for three days, during which time, she must recieve the "kiss of true love" from Eric. If Ariel succeeds, her transformation into a human will be permenant, but if she fails, she will turn back into a mermaid and be bound to Ursula for eternity. The price for the transformation is Ariel's voice. Ariel agrees and signs a magical contract, so her voice is magically pulled into Ursula's Nautilus shell necklace causing Ursula to laugh gleefully as her plans begin to unfold. Ariel's tail is split into legs. In comparison, the original fairytale involves the sea witch taking the little mermaid's voice by cutting off her tongue, and her tail was transformed into legs by a magic potion which the mermaid was to drink on the beach surface.
When Ariel comes "too close" to succeeding in her task, Ursula takes the form of a beautiful human female with Ariel's voice in order to sabotage her relationship with Eric. Ursula adopts the name of "Vanessa", and when in this form, her voice is provided by Jodi Benson, who also voices Ariel. The concept of the beautiful dark-haired rival for the prince's affections is another plot point adapted and modified from the original fairytale.
As Vanessa, Ursula bewitches Eric to marry her, but the wedding is disrupted and the Nautilus shell containing Ariel's voice is broken, breaking the enchantment and returning Ariel's voice back to its owner. However, the sun sets before Ariel and Eric can kiss and Ariel changes back into a mermaid. Ursula, restored to her normal form, grabs Ariel and jumps back into the sea, where she is confronted by King Triton. She reveals her true goal, and forces Triton to choose between his freedom and his daughter's. Triton agrees to take Ariel's place, and Ursula takes the crown and magical trident, making her the Queen of the Seven Seas. Ariel is angry at Ursula for doing this, Ursula threatens to kill her, but is hurt by Eric with a harpoon. Angry, she sent Flotsam and Jetsam to grab him, but Sebastian and Flounder free him. Ursula tends to kill him but Ariel pulls on her hair making her shot aim at her eels destroying them, making her upset. Furious, Ursula grows large and creates a storm and whirlpool. The Sea Witch then imprisons Ariel at the bottom of the whirlpool, and decides to test her new powers by killing the princess. Ursula fires multiple destructive blasts at Ariel, and the princess just barely manages to avoid them. Ursula laughs and prepares an unavoidable blast that would destroy Ariel forever. But right when she's about to fatally blast Ariel, Eric impales Ursula through her belly, and the powers of the trident backfire on her. When Ursula was defeated, all the merfolk that had been under her power, including Triton, are released from their bonds.
11. Sykes has lent a large amount of money to the petty criminal Fagin for some unknown reason, sending his 2 evil Dobermans, Roscoe and DeSoto, to tell Fagin to go up and meet with him. Fagin, unfortunately, finds himself unable to pay the money back, and begs for more time. Sykes tells him that he has three days to find the money or else who knows what will happen to Fagin, his home, or his dogs. Then, he honks his horn to call his dogs back, which frightens Fagin; causing him to fall off the dock and into the river.
When Fagin learns that Oliver's new owner is exceedingly wealthy, he orders "Mr very rich cat-owner-person" to bring him lots and lots of money in return for the cat. He tells Sykes about the plan; at 1st awkwardly which causes Sykes to lose his patience and snap his fingers to order his dogs to attack him when they are actually confronting 1 of Fagin's dogs, Dodger, but during the attack, Fagin is able to tell him the plan in a loud and proper way this time and shows him Oliver as proof which convinces Sykes and causes him to snap his fingers to cease the attack, and Sykes assumes this is a ruse to in fact kidnap and ransom the cat owner, rather than the cat, and gives Fagin one more chance with only 12 hours left while Fagin and Oliver come to Dodger's aid after Dodger lays injured and unconcious with severe (but invisible) injuries from attack.
When Jenny comes to get Oliver, she shows Fagin that all she has brought with her is her piggy bank, with Sykes and his evil dogs unknowingly watching from afar. When Sykes sees Fagin giving up the plan, he drives up, pulls Jenny into his car and takes her to his warehouse after throwing Oliver out the window. Sykes ties up Jenny to a chair in the center of his office, taunting her about his dogs.
He hears a strange sound, and sends Roscoe and DeSoto to check it out. While watching Jenny, Sykes calls the Foxworth family's butler Winston and tells him to call Jenny's father. Oliver, Dodger, and the gang follow them to the warehouse, where they find out that Jenny is being held for ransom.
When Tito, Einstein, and Francis manage to distract Sykes by dressing up as a pizza man, Sykes is shown loading a handgun, acknowledging that he did not order any pizza. When Sykes walks away to look for his dogs, Oliver, Dodger, and the gang manage to enter his office. Finally, Sykes finds his dogs trapped under a net and frees them. When Sykes, with his dogs, returns and finds the door locked, he believes it was Jenny's doing and warns her to open the door. Oliver and the gang manage to pull Jenny up into a higher part of the room, with the help of a crane and Tito's electric specialities, before Sykes, Roscoe and DeSoto burst through the door.
But just when it looks like they're home free, Sykes takes out an emergency fire axe and destroys the crane's controls, thus causing Oliver and the company to fall and land on a long slide. At the end of the slide, Sykes and his dogs confront them. Luckily, Fagin bursts in on his scooter, after Oliver, the company and their enemies hear a honking noise which is actually Fagin's scooter's horn, and the gang along with Jenny hop on and drive away as fast as they can just before Sykes can snap his fingers to order his dogs to attack. Sykes and his dogs follow in his car. Fagin goes onto the subway railroad tracks hoping that Sykes can't follow them, but he does. He steps hard on the gas and goes at full speed, causing his car's tires to wear away and run on the tracks. He bumps into them, causing Jenny to fall onto the hood of his car. He grabs Jenny by the arm. Oliver jumps on and bites Sykes' hand, but Sykes throws him into the backseat with Roscoe and DeSoto.
Dodger manages to jump on and fights off Roscoe while Oliver fights off DeSoto, causing the 2 Dobermans to fall onto the electric railroad track caused by the friction between Sykes' ruined car tires and the tracks and die. Sykes pays no attention as to what happened to his dogs and continues to chase the gang. He goes up through his car roof, grabs Jenny's leg, and pulls her back in. Just as he is pulling her back in, Dodger and Oliver jump onto Sykes and fight him off, causing him to lose his grip on Jenny. Even as he manages to throw them off, he turns around to see a train heading straight for him just before his car collides with it, destroying both of them completely. Thus, sending Sykes and his car into the Hudson River.
12. He is first seen on a wanted poster (suggesting that he had committed enough poaching crimes for him to be on the run from the law). His first on-screen appearance is him approaching one of the traps he has set, only to be surprised by having caught Cody. At first, he tries to persuade him that he's not a poacher, and seems prepared to let him go, but when he realizes he knows the location of the great Golden Eagle Marahute, he admits that he is a poacher, and has already caught the father. He tosses his backpack to the crocodiles to trick the authorities into thinking Cody was eaten and kidnaps him.
At first he tries to persuade Cody to reveal the location, offering him a 50/50 deal on the sale. Although it's unknown whether he would have kept the deal, he does seem genuine. However, Cody continues to refuse his deals, and he contemplates torture, but when Joanna steals his chicken eggs, he is inspired to tell Cody that Marahute is dead, and that there's no point to keeping him, then mentions casually that her eggs will go cold without her. At the film's end, as he tries to kill Cody to keep him from tattling on him about his capture of Marahute by feeding him to the crocodiles of Croc Falls, he's knocked into the river by Joanna, who was chasing Bernard. There the crocodiles then turn their attention from Cody to him, and attack him and Joanna. But at first, he seems manages to fight them off, saying "You'll think twice before messin' with Percival McLeach!". However, as it turns out, the large reptiles were trying to escape a huge waterfall, and even Joanna, who has swam to shore, has informed him of it by waving goodbye. He then discovers his fate, and tries to escape, but he is eventually swept over the falls and dies from either drowning or the impact of the fall, ending his malice for good.
13. Gaston is the local hero of a small French village. He owns a large tavern where him and the villagers drink and talk. Inside there is a large portrait of him along with "trophies" from his hunt of mostly animal antlers. He starts off in the film, pursuing Belle through the village as she borrows a book from the local bookstore. Their meeting starts off well, but Gaston's remarks about women drive Belle away from him and she goes home, leaving him disappointed. The next day, however, Gaston organizes a wedding outside Belle's cottage in an attempt to "surprise" her. He forces his way into the cottage and attempts to strong-arm her into marrying him, again making sexist remarks about women and housewifery (he even envisions their home they'd live in as a "rustic" hunting lodge, with his latest kill becoming dinner over the fire and Belle massaging his feet while their children—six or seven boys—play on the floor with their dogs). While he attempts to corner Belle, she manages to open the door that he has pinned her against. This causes him to lose his balance and fly headfirst into a giant mud pond that lies in front of Belle's cottage, leaving himself a mess. Furious and humiliated, Gaston storms off and away from Belle's home, but not before vowing to make Belle his wife regardless of her refusals.
Later, during the winter, the villagers in Gaston's Tavern, along with LeFou, sing a song about Gaston's greatness to cheer him up after being rejected by Belle, when Maurice storms in and warns the villagers about a monstrous Beast who has locked Belle as a prisoner in the tower of his castle. Thinking he is talking nonsense, Gaston has the villagers throw him out of the tavern, but then realises that he can use what Maurice has said to his advantage. In a surprising display of animalistic cunning, he bribes the owner of the local asylum, Monsieur D'Arque, to threaten to throw Maurice into the asylum in order to pressure Belle into marrying him. While D'Arque realises that even Maurice's nonsense about a beast and his odd inventions do not make him insane or dangerous, he is willing to accept the bribe. Considering the management of asylums of the 18th century (the time that the film takes place), this is an extremely harsh threat. However, just before their arrival, Maurice has left for the castle on his own. LeFou is ordered to stay there and wait for their return.
When Belle and Maurice eventually return to the cottage, LeFou immediately informs Gaston, and he sets his plan into motion. With the villagers gathered outside the house, D'Arque has his men drag Maurice towards their carriage, while Gaston makes Belle his offer - he will clear up the misunderstanding...if she marries him. Shocked and disgusted, Belle refuses, and Gaston allows Maurice to be dragged away. Belle, however, manages to prove her father's apparently insane claims about a Beast inhabiting the huge castle in the woods to be true by using a magic mirror that the Beast had given her. Gaston grows even more frustrated after his plan fails and shocked that Maurice was indeed telling the truth, but becomes increasingly jealous when Belle begins referring to the Beast as "kind and gentle", realising that she prefers a 'monster' over himself. He refers to the Beast as a "monster" and Belle angrily retorts with the same insult which makes him angrilly bare his teeth and is the final straw. In his jealousy and pride, Gaston takes the mirror and successfully convinces the villagers that the Beast is a man-eating monster that has to be brought down immediately. Locking Belle and Maurice in the basement to keep them from warning the Beast, Gaston leads a lynch mob to attack the Beast's castle and leave no one alive. In the ensuing battle between the rioters and castle servants, Gaston confronts the Beast alone. He fires an arrow into him, tosses him onto a lower section of the roof and taunts him. When Beast doesn't respond, having lost his will to live since Belle's departure (to rescue her lost father, who was searching for her), Gaston uses a makeshift club to try and kill the Beast. The Beast, however, regains his strength when he sees Belle return (she had escaped from the basement), and viciously fights back.
Though roughly even with his adversary, Gaston soon learns that he cannot rely on brute strength to kill the Beast, and instead begins taunting him in order to infuriate him enough to let his guard down, pushing the final button by claiming that Belle can never love a monster. The plan works, but immediately backfires: the Beast lunges forth, snapping viciously at him, and then holds the terrified hunter at his mercy by holding him above a chasm by the throat. With his life at stake, Gaston abandons his pride and begs for his life, and the Beast accepts, ordering Gaston to leave immediately and never return. In spite of this, when Gaston sees Beast embracing Belle, his great hatred and jealousy arises again which leads to his ultimate downfall. Determined to kill the Beast once and for all, Gaston stabs Beast in the side with a knife while dangling precariously from the balcony. The Beast swings his arm backwards in pain, causing Gaston to lose his balance and plunge into the ravine three hundred feet below to his death.
14. Scar remained bitter at his brother but was allowed to live in the Pride Lands. He did not attend Simba's presentation, much to Mufasa's disgust. During this time, he also tried to eat a mouse, although he was ultimately forced to let the mouse escape when Zazu told him off for missing Simba's presentation, causing Scar to attempt to exact revenge on Zazu by eating him instead until Mufasa interfered, forcing him to spit Zazu out. Scar also implied when Mufasa warned him not to walk away that he might attack Mufasa should he be distracted. He also briefly lamented that he may be cast out of the gene pool anyways before leaving Pride Rock dejected. As the years passed, Scar rapidly became jealous of his nephew, Simba's position as the next king of Pride Rock, and started plotting to kill his nephew in order to take out the competition for the throne himself. He started to recruit hyenas, primarily Shenzi, Banzai and Ed, to build an army. He used bribes of food to get them on his side.
The first attempt the hyenas made was to kill Simba when the young cub and his best friend, Nala entered their territory. When Mufasa foiled that plan, Scar was seen in the background, who had watched the whole thing.
Later, Scar admonishes Shenzi, Banzai and Ed, for failing to kill Simba, even when it was clear that Simba only survived due to Mufasa's interference. However, he ends up getting the idea to kill Mufasa in addition to Simba when, after feeding them a Zebra's leg to kill Mufasa when Banzai sardonically asked whether Scar should kill Mufasa to get the throne. He promises during the villain song, Be Prepared that under his rule, they need never go hungry again. With their help, he engineers a wildebeest stampede meant to kill both Simba and Mufasa, tricking Simba into waiting in a gorge under the notion that Mufasa has a 'marvelous surprise' for him. Scar then sends Mufasa to save Simba. Mufasa manages to save his son and ends up clinging to a cliff. He then spots Scar and pleads with Scar to help him. However, Scar grips Mufasa's paws with his claws, and flung his brother off the cliff to his death with the mocking words, "Long live the king". Scar finds that Simba is still alive, and convinces him that it is his fault Mufasa is dead. He then tells Simba to run away, and never return. Scar then sends the hyenas to kill Simba. They fail this task, though Shenzi felt that allowing the cub to flee into the desert would kill him eventually. Scar then took over the Pride Lands, using the hyena clan as muscle to ensure his reign goes undisputed. Under his rule, the Pride Lands were overhunted by both lions and hyenas, and the excess of predators drove away the herds, while a drought deprived them of water. Likewise, he also enacts a law to prevent the subjects from mentioning Mufasa, especially not in a more favorable light.
Even with the hyena Clan and the Pride on the brink of starvation, Scar refuses to allow anybody to leave, descending into madness and insisting that he is still a mighty king. When Simba returns, Scar forces Simba to admit that he is responsible for his father's death then Scar forces Simba off the edge of Pride Rock's peak, Simba manages to cling for his life and Scar slams his claws into Simba's paws and reveals to Simba that he had murdered Mufasa. Simba then forces Scar to admit this to the entire Pride.
This leads to a battle in which the lionesses, aided by Rafiki, Timon, and Pumbaa, work together to defeat the hyenas. Simba confronts Scar on the top of Pride Rock, but Scar, knowing he is not strong enough to defeat Simba, is hesitant to fight. He tries to blame everything on the hyenas, not knowing that Shenzi, Banzai and Ed had followed him (presumably to back him up) and hear him. Realizing that to Scar they are completely expendable and have been used as tools, they back away angrily. When Simba chooses to exile Scar rather than kill him, Scar appears to concede, but then blinds his nephew by brushing embers into his face. Scar attacks his nephew, and they fight savagely until Scar knocks Simba onto his back, but as Scar leaps to deliver the final blow, Simba uses his hindlegs to throw Scar over the edge, sending him flying off Pirde Rock and tumbling down the cliff. Scar survives the fall and slowly gets to his feet, then the hyenas arrive. At first, Scar is relieved to see his "friends", but to his horror, they reply that according to Scar, they were the enemy and they begin to surround Scar who is backing against the stone. Scar pleads for his life and attempts to explain his earlier statements, but the hyenas have had enough of his treachery and broken promises; they close in and surround Scar with manic smiles, leap on Scar, and rip him to shreds. In order to edit violence, Scar's death is obscured by flames rising up.
15. Ratcliffe leads an expedition to Virginia to find gold and other riches (which he wants to keep for himself). He fails to tell any of the other crew of his real reason of going to Virginia and recites the "Adventure of our lives" and "Freedom" speech to cover it. When they see land, Ratcliff meets with John Smith, whom the crew admire, about his plan on dealing with the "savages" and "filthy little heathens" (what he calls the Native Americans and Smith assures his success and the meetings through. Ratcliffe arrives on the Shore of Virginia shortly after Smith and Thomas, a new recruit, then takes some land in the name of King James and calls it Jamestown.
After Smith leaves to search for the Indians, Ratcliffe orders men to build a fort and clear the ship while he has the rest men dig for gold. When John Smith returns Ratcliffe orders him to prepare the men for battle so they can destroy the Indians and take the gold. But Smith tells Ratcliffe that there is no gold and that they don't to find the Indians because he met one of them and they can help them by showing them their land but Ratcliffe doesn't believe it and says that the land belongs to him and that he says Anyone who so much looks at an Indian without killing him on sight will be tried for treason and hanged! When he sees John Smith running off somewhere that night, he sends Thomas to follow him, hoping the "poor excuse for a soldier" will be able to prove his worth. He later overhears the men talking about Smith's capture (Smith had been attacked by a warrior named Kocoum, whom Thomas had promptly shot dead during the fight, but had been ordered to flee the scene for Smith to take the blame) and wages war against the Indians to rescue Smith and take their gold for himself (although he merely tells his men it is a rescue mission to ensure their support). After the two sides march their way to one another, they are stopped abruptly by Pocahontas who tells everyone that they were led onto the path of hatred. All the men on both sides are deeply touched by the woman's love and wisdom, and lower their weapons. The would-be combatants now make it clear that the battle will not occur.
Ratcliff is the only one not moved by this, and orders his men to open fire anyway, but they refuse. Outraged, Ratcliff grabs the gun of one of his men and prepares to shoot Powhatan himself. John Smith jumps in the way and takes the bullet (although not fatally). Finally seeing Ratcliffe for the corrupt, greedy monster that he truly was all along, Thomas and the other settlers rebel, bounding and gagging him and sending him back to England to await punishment for his crimes.
16. At the film's beginning, Frollo ambushes a group of gypsies entering Paris illegally and chases one of them to Notre Dame where he kills her. However, he discovers that the gypsy's "stolen good" was actually her deformed baby son. Believing the child to be an unholy demon, Frollo prepares to drop the child in a nearby well, but for the intervention of the Archdeacon, who reprimands Frollo for killing an innocent woman and tells him that the only way to make up for his sin is to raise the boy as his own son, to which he begrudgingly agrees. Frollo names the boy "Quasimodo" (literally "Near-perfect mode" or "Half-formed"), and raises him in the Cathedral, hidden from the outside world, constantly teaching him that he would be considered an ugly and hideous monster by the cruel outside world.
20 years later, Frollo summons Captain Phoebus to aid him in his war with the gypsies, and at the same time, Quasimodo begins to rebel Frollo's strict actions. He attends the Feast of Fools, where he becomes enamored of Esmeralda, a gypsy performing at the festival, but when Quasimodo is crowned King of Fools and then humiliated by the crowd; Frollo refuses to help him in order to punish him for disobeying him. Esmeralda openly defies Frollo for his cruelty, and in retaliation, Frollo orders her arrested. She escapes into the Cathedral, where he corners her and tells her that he will arrest her if she dares to leave. However, Quasimodo helps her escape. Frollo gets wind of this and orders a city-wide manhunt for Esmeralda, at the same time haunted by the lust he feels for her.
As Frollo nears insanity, Phoebus defies him and is ordered killed, although Esmeralda rescues him. Frollo eventually tricks Quasimodo into leading him to the gypsy hideout, the Court of Miracles, and plans to have Esmeralda executed the next day. Frollo succumbs to his desires and offers Esmeralda one last chance to live as his mistress, but she refuses and he orders her executed. Seeing Esmeralda suffering finally snaps Quasimodo and he openly defies Frollo, rescuing Esmeralda and pouring molten copper onto the streets of Paris, keeping anyone from entering the Cathedral. Frollo manages to enter and finds Quasimodo crying over Esmeralda's unconscious body. Frollo attempts to stab Quasimodo from behind, but Quasimodo retaliates and nearly kills Frollo in his rage. As Frollo goes for Esmeralda, Quasimodo takes her to the balconies and fights Frollo. During the fight, Frollo reveals to Quasimodo that he killed his mother, and eventually, the two fall from the Cathedral balcony. While Quasimodo is caught in mid-air by Phoebus, Frollo falls to his death.
The Hunchback of Notre Dame IIEdit
Although Frollo makes no full appearance in the second film, he is alluded to by Sarousch when he asks Madellaine "and did I turn you over to the authorities?" which reveals that he was aware of Frollo's prejudice against gypsies.
Difference from the originalEdit
Frollo was very different in the original novel. He was far more compassionate, caring, and tragic, as well as significantly less villainous in the original novel. As the archdeacon of Notre Dame in the original novel, he took Quasimodo in willingly as his own son when his mother abandoned him in the book (instead of Frollo just killing her himself like in the Disney film) and named him after Quasimodo Sunday instead of his disfigurement. He even helped Quasimodo develop some sort of sign language after the latter became deaf from becoming the bellringer. He only becomes the villain when Esmerelda enters the picture. His lust drives him insane much like in the Disney version. The only difference at this point was that Frollo actually succeeded at killing Esmeralda just before Quasimodo throws him off of Notre Dame, killing him.
17. Hades is first seen in the film appearing on Mount Olympus. None of the gods are happy with his joke. Hades goes up to Baby Hercules' crib and attempts to put a spiked skull-shaped pacifier into the baby's mouth. He almost succeeds in putting the pacifier in the baby's mouth but the baby grabs and squeezes his finger, causing him to drop the pacifier and went away in pain. He then leaves Olympus to the Underworld to plan his takeover of Olympus.
Early in the film, Hades consults with the Fates on his plan to take over Mount Olympus. They tell him that when the planets align eighteen years later, Hades will unleash the horrible Titans and that they would lead him to victory. However, if Hercules fought, Hades would fail.
Hades decides to nip the Hercules threat in the bud by having Pain and Panic feed the infant Hercules a potion that will make him mortal. When Hercules is mortal, Pain and Panic would kill the baby. However, Hercules doesn't drink the last drop of the potion, meaning he still retains his godlike strength, allowing Hercules to defend himself. Years later, when Hades discovers Hercules was still alive, he takes matters into his own hands, attempting to recruit an army of monsters to defeat Hercules.
When Hades discovers that Hercules could not be defeated by his monsters, he sends Megara to seduce Hercules and find his weakness. She falls in love with Hercules on their date and forgets about the mission, simply saying that he has no weakness. Hades deducts that Hercules's love for Megara is his weakness and uses her to trick Hercules into giving up his godlike strength for Meg's safety. Hercules agrees and Hades, knowing Hercules will not interfere, not only unleashes the Titans but also sends the Cyclops to kill Hercules while he is powerless.
During the Cyclops's attack on Hercules, a pillar falls on Meg, severely injuring her. This breaks Hades' promise that Meg would not be hurt, causing Hercules to regain his strength. Hercules proceeds to go to Mount Olympus, defeating the Titans and thwarting Hades' invasion. However, Meg has died because of her injuries and Hades claims her soul as his consolation prize, knowing how much her death will hurt Hercules.
Hercules storms into the Underworld, subdues Cerberus and confronts Hades, demanding him to return Meg. Hades smugly explains to Hercules that Meg is dead and he can't have her back. Hercules offers his soul in exchange for Meg's and Hades displays a moment of being genre savvy, seeing the deal as almost too good to be true. However, he decides to agree on the condition that Hercules must retrieve her himself. It is not until Hercules has already dived in that he shouts that he'll be dead before he can get to her. The Fates attempt to cut Hercules' life thread, but are unable to. Hercules' genuinely heroic sacrifice causes him to become a god, making him immortal. Hercules emerges from the river, carrying Meg and Hades, astounded, attempts to smooth-talk Hercules again, who angrily punches him, sending Hades into the river, where he is swarmed by the souls trapped inside and dragged into its depths, presumably trapping him there forever.
During the end credits when the thanks to the staff are shown, Hades' voice is heard saying that everyone's got a happy ending but him. Then asks if anyone's listening and if he's talking to hyperspace.
18. The film's opening scene sees Shan Yu scaling the Great Wall of China and leading the Huns in an invasion of China, setting the tone for the rest of the film.
Later on Shan Yu has destroyed yet another village and expose two spies sent by the emperor. He orders them to pass a message to the Emperor telling to send his best men for battle. Before the two are able to leave, he murders one.
While heading to the imperial city, his falcon recovers a little girl's doll from a village. On the doll is white horse hair from the General's army. Instead of avoiding the army, he and his men plan to go that direction. His armies crush the Emperor's soldiers with ease until they get to a mountain pass where they are cut off by Captain Li Shang's troops.
The armies battle by constantly shooting canons. Eventually Shan Yu leads the Huns down to the army to attack. Though the Huns vastly outnumbered Shang's troops, Mulan managed to bury them in an avalanche by aiming a rocket at a nearby mountain. Shan Yu nearly escapes but like his men, is taken away by the snow.
Believed to be dead and defeated, Shan Yu and a group of surviving Huns were able to infiltrate the Emperor's palace and capture him during the victory ceremony.
Mulan, Shang, Yao, Ling, and Chien-Po scale the palace wall and quickly overcome the Hun guards. Just as Shan Yu moves to strike the Emperor down, Shang attacks him and Chien-Po carries the Emperor to safety. Just as the Emperor escapes, Shan Yu overpowers Shang and soon recognizes Mulan as the soldier who caused the avalanche. Mulan lures him to the palace rooftop, where he attempts to kill her, until Mushu aims a firecracker at Shan Yu, which propels him into a tower full of fireworks and and is killed in the explosion.
19. In Tarzan, Clayton, a veteran hunter and guide, serves as guide for Jane and her father Archimedes Q. Porter on an expedition to Africa in search for gorillas, but his secret agenda is to use the trip as a means to hunt gorillas to sell on the black market. Clayton is arrogant and totally convinced in his own abilities and invulnerability.
With the introduction of Tarzan to the expedition, Clayton makes several attempts (all unsuccessful) to get the location of the gorillas from Tarzan, who is far more fascinated by what Jane has to teach him about humans.
With both his and his employers' goals thwarted, Clayton prepares to leave Africa with Jane and Professor Porter. Manipulating Tarzan's feelings for Jane, he tells the ape man that they'll stay if he takes them to the gorillas. This is of course, not true -- Jane would have had to return to England at some point anyway. Tarzan, however, is convinced, and has Kerchak, the head gorilla, distracted so that he can lead Jane to the gorillas. Kerchak returns unexpectedly though, and is angered by the trespassers and attacks Clayton, considering him the greatest threat. Luckily for Clayton, Tarzan manages to pin down Kerchak. Disowned from the family by Kerchak, he agrees to return to England with Jane and the professor, only to be surprised and imprisoned with them by Clayton and the captain's crew (who working for him after turning on the captain and his officers) when they board the ship. Now that the villain no longer needs them, he wants them all out of the way so that he and his cronies can capture the gorillas and sell them to a zoo for three hundred pounds each (a substantial amount of money in the days when the movie was set).
The heroes manage to escape, scare Clayton's henchmen (trapping them in the same cages they intended to trap the gorillas in), and free the gorillas, including Kala, Tarzan's adoptive mother. From the undergrowth, Clayton shoots at Tarzan, but the bullet only grazes his arm. Kerchak is fatally shot when he charges Clayton. After knocking Jane aside savagely with his rifle, putting her out of the fight, Clayton confronts Tarzan, who takes the battle to the treetops. The two of them exchange blows briefly, where Tarzan causes Clayton to drop his rifle. Tarzan then takes the rifle and points it at him. Clayton mocks Tarzan by telling him to "be a man" and shoot him. Tarzan says he's not a man like him and smashes the rifle. After watching the pieces of his gun fall to the ground, Clayton flies into a rage and draws his machete. Tarzan jumps back into a mass of vines to escape Clayton's furious swipes. He manages to entangle Clayton in the vines, but Clayton mindlessly hacks at them with his machete in an attempt to free himself, not noticing that one vine has slipped like a noose around his own neck. Tarzan tries to warn him, but in his rage Clayton accidentally cuts the vine he's holding on to. He and Tarzan plummet towards the ground.Tarzan lands safely, but Clayton is hanged by the vine when it snaps his neck. A flash of lightning illuminates his hanged corpse, swaying ever so slightly in the breeze, briefly before he is left to the jungle.
20. Stromboli is first referred to in the film by J. Worthington Foulfellow, who notices a poster advertising that "that old rascal's back in town". Foulfellow fondly recalls trying to sell Gideon, with strings tied to his arms and feet, to the puppet master (though it's apparent that this ploy didn't work). When the two crooks see Pinocchio on his way to school, the fox realizes that Stromboli would pay handsomely for a moving puppet without strings. They befriend the little wooden boy and, convincing him that the theatre is "the easy road to success", take him to Stromboli's Caravan, singing Hi-Diddle-Dee-Dee (An Actor's Life For Me) as they go, with Jiminy Cricket in pursuit. That evening, Stromboli is first seen, announcing his show to a large crowd that has gathered around the caravan. The puppet master advertises Pinocchio as "the only puppet who can sing and dance without the aid of strings". He conducts the band (unseen, below the stage) while Pinocchio and the puppets perform I've Got No Strings. Pinocchio trips and falls, nose first, onto the stage; Stromboli is initially furious at the puppet's clumsiness and even threatens him in the middle of the show, but lets him continue after realizing that the audience is delighted. After the completion of the show, Stromboli walks onto the stage and accepts both the audience's applause and their money. Later that night, Stromboli is counting the day's substantial earnings while enjoying a meal of link sausage. He gives Pinocchio a worthless metal ring for his efforts, but, when the puppet tries to return to Gepetto's Workshop, Stromboli locks him in a cage. The puppet master enthuses that they will tour the great capitals of the world, and that Pinocchio will make him lots of money. When the puppet is too old to perform, Stromboli will use him for firewood. Laughing, he leaves Pinocchio alone with the lifeless puppets in the carriage, and the wooden boy hears the caravan start to move. Jiminy comes to Pinocchio's aid but is unable to free him; it is the Blue Fairy, giving him a second chance, who opens the cage, allowing the puppet and his conscience to escape. Stromboli is not seen again in the film (though it can perhaps be assumed that he reacted to Pinocchio's absence in a typical emotional outburst).
21. Facilier is first seen striking a deal with a man who wishes to grow hair. So, Facilier makes it so by having hair grow over his entire body frighting civilians and himself. Later on, Facilier overhears Tiana an Charlotte talking about a prince coming to town who is due to marry her. Facilier, needing money, gets an idea. Once Prince Naveen and his valet Lawrence arrive, he takes them to his parlor to strike deals. For Naveen, he promises to give freedom and green while with Lawrence, he offers him to have the chance to be in Naveen's shoes.
The deal is complete with a handshake having Naveen being turned into a frog and while Lawrence is recruited in Facilier's scheme to become incredibly wealthy and dominate New Orleans. Facilier gives Lawrence his trinket filled with the Naveen's blood to allow Lawrence to impersonate the Prince. Naveen is trapped in a jar but escapes and being left alone with the hapless Lawrence. He goes off and meets Tiana who he believes to be a princess. Following the storyline of The Frog Prince, they kiss and Tiana also becomes a frog. The two end up on a balloon floating into the bayous after a chase with Charlotte's dog. Facilier confronts Lawrence about Naveen's escape but as long as they have Naveen's blood in a talisman, Lawrence will retain his Naveen form and marry Charlotte. Soon enough however, the blood begins to run out and Lawrence's Naveen form is abolished. Facilier must ask for help from his "friends on the other side". The "friends" send Shadow Demons to be minions of Facilier. He orders them to search around for Naveen. After a day, they find him, taking him to Facilier and Lawrence. The blood is restored and the plan continues. The wedding occurs that night. Facilier plans to murder Charlotte's father Big Daddy with a voodoo doll the moment she and Lawrence are pronounced man and wife. Fortunately, Naveen escapes yet again and prevents this. The talisman is obtained by Naveen and given to his friend Ray the firefly. Facilier and the shadows chase after Ray while Naveen is being held captive by Lawrence. Ray gives the talisman to Tiana, but Facilier and the shadows has her cornered. As she threatens to destroy it, Facilier tries to make a switch. He'll grant Tiana's dreams to open a restaurant if she gives him his voodoo trinket. She denies and destroys it. Suddenly, Facilier's "friends" arrive to take the doctor's soul as punishment for his failure. The horrified Facilier pleads for mercy, but it's too late. They grab Facilier's shadow, thus pulling Facilier as well, and drags them into the voodoo world where they will be doomed to reside for eternity.

The grandfather clock ticked eleven times. The room was all dark except for a little bit of moonlight trickling in. The three sisters went to sleep with Puffball at Danielle’s side. Peg and Spunky were also sleeping, sleeping next to each other on a soft bed in a little corner. In the center of the room were Lady and Tramp, also fast asleep. Everyone was sleeping… except for Scamp. He couldn't sleep. He sat up as Angel slept by his side. A train horn blared. Scamp smiled at the noise.

The Runaway Adventures-- A Lady and the Tramp and 101 Dalmatians Crossover (Ch.1)
Chapter One—The Show Biz
In an old New England town with fences around every tree, there was the quiet contented feel of small town life. With an end-of-summer breeze in the air, autumn was coming over the town. For many, this meant picking apples and raking leaves and enjoying life. But for the Brown family, which was famous for owning seven dogs at once, life was a completely different story.
They were in a state of chaos because they were planning on participating in a dog show. The Brown family was planning to put their three young triplet...
Top 25 disney films- 25-16
posted by BKG201
25. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs- The sweet musical that started it all. Has one of the greatest villains.
Some of you Disney fans may not agree with this list but this my opinion and I want you to know about it.
The Disney films I like are usually underrated ones (like the Rescuers or the Great Mouse Detective) Or the Disney Renaissance comedy type films ( like Mulan, Hercules or Aladdin.) So read on and Enjoy.
Take note that Pixar films are also included on this list
Some of these films are ones that are unexpected or ones you were shocked at of being so low or so high. I know I have a weird taste in films so.
Don't forget to leave comments and have your say of what you think the next 15 films will be. Or even the other 2 Pixar films
24.Alice in Wonderland- A lot of people don't like this film but I think that it is creative and fun.
23. Dumbo- A true classic that follows a very cute elephant all alone in the world.
22. Pinocchio- Many people don't like Pinocchio but I think it is a great film with action and sadness.
21. The Little Mermaid- Some people might be confused with my choice at such a low number and it is action packed and has great songs. But personally I don't like Ariel or Eric.
20. Sleeping Beauty- This film reminds me of the days when i was younger. With "One upon a dream" it is a film to remember.
19. Monster Inc. The first of the 3 pixar films on the list it is funny and a witty challenge for the characters.
18. Lady and the Tramp- This classic is romantic and full of adventure. The spaghettti scene is awesome.
Robin Hood- Action film with comedy and great music.
16. The Sword in the Stone- Why this one above other great ones? you ask. Really this film shows inteligence against srength which is once used again in Beauty and the Beast and Mulan.

My top 5 Disney males.
posted by fhghu
Hey everyone! Well, I decided, since I haven't made an article in awhile, do a list of my top 5 Disney males. I had to think, but I've got the list together. So...sit back and enjoy reading! No mean comments please.
5. The Prince (Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs)
I love this guy so much. Seriously. Even though we don't get to see him much, he left a lasting impression on me. I mean, right away. When he goes over the wall, and you see his smile, you know he's genuine. And when he pops up and sings into the well with her, it's hilarious. Especially Snow White's reaction. And when he starts singing...

D Couples: Bernard and Bianca
posted by Jayden-G
I decided to start a series of analyzing the DP Couples in depth (and later, the other Disney Couples) after I got bored one day, and wanted to write a series of articles. You can recommend me which couple to do next in the couples section. So here is how it is going to go. I will first explain my overall statement about the couples in a paragraph, and then I will analyze each scene to look at the inner and outer feelings of the characters individually an the couple itself.
Here is the first DP Couple Analysis:link

G.K. Chesterton's Biography "Charles Dickens" (1906)
I was about to write a personal essay on Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol, but I decided to leave that off for the future and replace it with a biographical sketch of the man who helped revive modern Christmas and good-hearted cheer despite the secular age we live in. I also recommend the reading titled Christmas According to Dickens by Rev. Dr. Mark D. Roberts.
Chesterton's books and essays on Charles Dickens are among his best. Growing up in London Chesterton found Dickens his best guide to his own background and much of his philosophy came from Dickens's own "social gospel." To understand Chesterton you need to read his biography on Dickens. It will help you understand why he called himself a "disreputable Victorian".

Giuliana Sgrena: The US Under Pressure
Translated by Régent
Translated Tuesday 24 January 2006, by Régent
Giuliana Sgrena,
reporter at Il Manifesto, former hostage in Iraq.
The US under pressure
Violence in Iraq did not end with the elections on December 15th.
Voting is not by itself a solution, not even an expression of democracy, when coerced by the military as it happened in this country.
Thus, given the conditions surrounding the poll - no security, no liberty, no legal indemnity, it was no magic trick.
The absence of international observers and of the greatest part of the press was not an accident.
How can we talk about a democratization process when independent press is excluded from it?
Truly free and democratic elections will be possible only when performed as part of a genuine democratization process under the supervision of a sovereign Iraq.
Strong protests and allegations of fraud that question the results - as yet to be officially confirmed - come as no surprise.
However, the general involvement of all ethnic and religious parties, especially of the Sunnis, who had opposed the January 2005 elections, helps to revive hope and, in any case, shows Iraq’s willingness to make a stand.
Even when noting that participation reached 70%, the electoral commission does not specify if this number pertains to the voters registered on the electoral roll or simply to the ones who had the right to vote, since there is no census in Iraq.
Such a rate of involvement does not point out to a support of the US transitional plan, as a superficial analysis might suggest, but, on the contrary, to a demand for the pull-out of the foreign powers, a demand tacitly implied in most of the declaration of principles in the elections, except the Kurds’.
Strangely, hope as carried by the December elections - and shared by the Western world - came from the strong involvement of the “Sunni Triangle", heavily hit by the harshest bombings, as witnessed by Fallujah, and where US forces suffered the greatest loss from Iraqi opposition.
The Sunni vote most certainly stemmed from their frustration of being excluded from important decisions, as the ones concerning the Constitution, after their opposition in January last year.
This participation also points to the effect of an agreement between the US and the Sunni leaders (ethnic, religious, etc.), the only leaders capable of controlling the insurgency.
In exchange for this come back, and for the former Baaht’s, Sunnis may now pledge a decrease in violence from the armed resistance, except for Al Qaeda who does not want peace in Iraq.
The US is now compelled to play the Sunni trump card by decanting from what Iraq Pro-Consul Paul Bremer had promised when in Baghdad: disbanding the Iraqi army, dissolving the Ministries of Defense and Information, and banning the Baaht party.
This was the first crude mistake of many more that followed.
But such is the logic of the one who wants to solve war problems.

ICNIRS Karl Norris Awardees
2019 ICNIRS Karl Norris Award
Professor Tom Fearn, President of ICNIRS, presenting Professor Graeme Batten with the Karl Norris Award at NIR2019, the 19th International NIR Conference, held on the Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia.
The Karl Norris Award honours the unique contribution of Karl Norris as the internationally recognized founder of near infrared spectroscopy in the modern world. In contrast to the Tomas Hirshfeld Award, which is aimed at younger researchers, this award is aimed at researchers in the later stages of their career, with a sustained record of important contributions to near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy.
The selection of the KNA winner is done by ICNIRS President Advisory Committee.
The winner for 2019 is Dr. Graeme Batten from Australia. Dr. Batten started his NIR career working for New South Wales (NSW) Agriculture, Yanco, Australia. He and his team were pioneers in developing NIR technology for rice and other cereal grains. He had been working intensively on using NIR on precision agriculture since 2000.
As Editor-in-Chief of JNIRS for 14 years from 2004, Graeme has dedicated body and soul to the continuing success of our journal. His feedback and teaching has helped many scientists around the world to get a successful paper published. ICNIRS warmly congratulates Graeme for his achievements and as the worthy winner of KNA 2019.
This award honours the unique contribution of Karl Norris as the internationally recognised founder of near infrared spectroscopy in the modern world. The award may be presented to one individual every two years at an ICNIRS Conference, and is in recognition of a major contribution to NIR science by a senior scientist.
The winner of 2017 Karl Norris Award is Pierre Dardenne from Belgium.
Pierre had been working for a very long period on NIR spectroscopy as the Head of the Department of Valorisation of Agricultural Products at the Walloon Agricultural Research Centre, Gembloux, Belgium. Despite being a native of a very small country, the impact of his impressive work in the science and application of NIR spectroscopy, especially in agriculture, is obvious in a host of countries throughout the world. Over the ensuing 30 years, he has been at the forefront of advances in NIR science, including instrument standardisation, calibration methods and mathematical procedures for processing spectral data. Pierre is the author or co-author of more than 850 publications, including peer-reviewed articles, conference papers, reports and lectures. His laboratory is a recognised centre of excellence in NIR science, where almost every type of NIR instrument and software package developed over the last 30 years has been evaluated at the request of instrument manufacturers. He is in frequent demand in countries all over the world for his advice and expertise on NIR developments and applications.
Pierre has a unique ability, not only in advancing NIR methodology and pioneering new applications, but in making the technique work in industry. At least one major international business providing NIR analysis is directly founded upon his research and development work. He has also either led or participated in various important collaborative projects in the European Union, involving both NIR spectroscopy and imaging techniques, dealing with feed and food safety and authenticity.
The winner of the Karl Norris Award for 2015 is Dr Phil Williams from Canada. Phil is an original pioneer of the application of NIR spectroscopy to the practical issues around predicting protein content in wheat during his time at the Canadian Wheat Board; his efforts during this time helped to lay down the optimum strategies for proper calibration development and validation thus paving the way for the ready acceptance of this technique as part of a payment system. His research into the importance of sampling and reference analytical accuracy and precision helped to form the basis for effective model development and evaluation.
2014 Inaugural ICNIRS Karl Norris Award
The new ICNIRS award, which recognises the unique contribution of Karl Norris as the founder of near infrared spectroscopy in the modern world, was unveiled at the recent International Diffuse Reflectance Conference (IDRC) in Chambersburg.
It was felt highly appropriate to present the inaugural Norris Medal (but excluding the monetary award) to Karl Norris himself, and all delegates were thrilled that Karl, accompanied by his wife Maxine, was able to receive the award in person at what he has always called his "favourite meeting".
The Medal was presented to Karl by ICNIRS Chair Ana Garrido-Varo during a special session covering the history of NIR. This presentation was a fitting tribute to a remarkable scientist, now 93 years old.

Our Lincolnshire: The Halfway Highlights
Cartography at Incoming Festival 2016
Our Lincolnshire Adventure
Published by Phoebe at April 11, 2016
After spending 6 weeks in both Grantham and Louth, we have now completed the Our Lincolnshire project. We have had a great time getting to know these lovely towns and the amazing people that reside in them and we were extremely pleased with the reception of both our interactive exhibition in Louth and our performance (alongside some local talent) in Grantham. If you missed it, here is a summary of what we got up to:
Louth- We compiled 6 weeks of interviews with local people to create an interactive exhibition that allowed the audience to explore their heritage and to take control of their town’s future. We played audio clips of the townsfolks feelings about Louth’s past and present and then allowed the audience to explore five different interactive stations.
1. Town Planner: A large map of Louth could be marked by the audience with red flags to mark places for demolition, brown flags to make improvements and hearts to highlight favourite places.
2. Mayor for a day: Each member of the audience received 10 wooden sticks (a pot of money) to spend on 6 different causes that the public flagged up as local issues when speaking with us. These were: roads and transport, Arts projects and culture, industry, supporting local shops, facilities for young people and restoration and preservation of local heritage.
3. ‘A foo Linkinsher wods’: Peter and Alan from the Lincolnshire Dialect Society shared some local words and phrases with the audience from their stand which contained historical texts, local poems and stories written in the dialect. Peter rounded off the evening with a few readings of his own dialect poetry and some other significant publications by local people.
4. Flickbook Loves Louth: We shared a video with the audience of our own Louth adventures which included visits to the towns hotspots and little gems that we had discovered over the 6 weeks.
5. Reflections: After exploring our stations, perusing the art gallery of local photographers work and indulging in some cake, we invited the audience to write their reflections on the project on a mirror.
Grantham: the strong female history in Grantham really interested us and so we decided to create a performance based on key women from Grantham’s past. Firstly we explored Edith Smith, the first female police officer to have power of arrest in Britain. Through song, projection and narration we told the story of the brave woman that shaped the future of the police force across the whole country and who was at risk of being forgotten in the town that she worked in.
Our next section was about the canal women that worked in Grantham in the early 1900s. This section was completely lead by volunteer performers Rosemary, who dressed in traditional canal attire and used her extensive knowledge of the Grantham canals to perform a completely improvised monologue, and Garry who performed two original songs about the canals.
Both Garry and Rosemary performed alongside other members of the St Peters Hill players in the next section which was all about Violet Van der Elst- a woman who saved one of Grantham’s most beautiful buildings and led an extravagant and colourful life. This was a one act play that was performed with script in hand and was rehearsed over two hours on the day of the performance- a challenge that all of the St Peters Hill players rose to with enthusiasm and professionalism. Violet was a fascinating woman that led a life of controversy; her life story is so complicated that it is almost farcical and the actors that worked with us captured this perfectly.
The final Grantham woman that we could not avoid talking about was Margaret Thatcher. We decided to focus on the young Margaret that grew up in Grantham. Using the words of the people that knew her, we outlined how Margaret divided opinion even as a young girl. Fully aware that Margaret was still a sensitive topic for the town, we took a neutral stance on her politics and instead focussed on the facts about the young Margaret. We celebrated her as a strong woman flying the flag for Grantham’s women rather than as a political figure.
We met so many incredible women during our time in Grantham that it felt important to celebrate them as much as these historical figures in the performance. We used extracts from ‘The Chestnut Tree’, a story written about a Grantham landmark by local superwoman Betty Elmer, to start and finish the evening. We also displayed the photography of Anne Stephens, our Grantham guru that gave her time and knowledge every week during the project, throughout the performance via projections and in a gallery in the foyer. We also collected donations for the Grantham Museum after the performance as they were not only an incredible source of help and support to us during our research but they do an amazing job of preserving and celebrating Grantham’s history and heritage.

METABEVO
Evolution of the plant phenolic metabolism: a search for new strategies to improve biofuel production
The plant phenolic metabolism leads to the synthesis of biopolymers such as lignin, of antioxidants, UV-screens and compounds that are suspected to regulate plant growth. High lignin content and cross-linking in the cell walls of higher plants is a main limitation to the efficient use of the plant biomass for energy production. METABEVO proposes to reveal the structure and role of the phenolic metabolism in the moss Physcomitrella patens, an ancestral plant resistant to extreme environmental conditions and allowing targeted gene engineering that does not produce a complex lignin biopolymer, in order to propose new strategies to improve biofuel production and to optimize plant adaptation to a more challenging climate environment. This work is expected to reveal essential aspects of plant evolution upon transition from water to land and to lead to novel strategies for biofuel production.

I am an ecologist and conservation practitioner specialized in critically endangered animal species, protected areas management, marine biology, ornithology and traditional ecological knowledge.
During the past 23 years I have worked in four continents, mostly in developing countries, on the frontline where nature is devastated and species are vanishing.
I have worked for international organizations (UN, EU, SPREP) and for international NGOs (IUCN, BirdLife) -and quite often as a volunteer.
Born in Florence in 1968, since early childhood I experienced a deep and special connection with nature and wildlife. From the teen age up to mid Nineties I have been an activist for LIPU (BirdLife Italy) and for Greenpeace Italy.
Obtained a M.Sc in behavioural ecology and marine biology at the University of Florence in 1993, I went on with a Ph.D in the same field (1997) with data collected over 3 years along the Chilean coast.
Subsequently I have carried out two postdoc researches: one at UC Berkeley (California, USA) in surveying and monitoring terrestrial predators (1997-1998) and another one with the National Wildlife Institute (Italy) in surveying and monitoring threatened seabirds in the Tuscany Archipelago (1999-2000).
From year 2000 I quit the research career to focus on frontline nature conservation through international aid. In 2018 I returned to Florence with my young family (kids aged 5 and 7). I still work in conservation and international aid as a consultant; and as a volunteer I still support NGOs on top of raising the awareness of public opinion and school students about the current global ecological crisis and the sixth wave of mass extinctions of wildlife.

A man that is born falls into a dream like a man who falls into the sea. If he tries to climb out into the air as inexperienced people endeavour to do, he drowns- nicht wahr?... No! I tell you! The way is to the destructive element submit yourself, and with the exertions of your hands and feet in the water make the deep, deep sea keep you up.

Prevalence of risk factors for non-communicable disease in a rural area of Faridabad district of Haryana
A Krishnan, B Shah, Vivek Lal, DK Shukla, Eldho Paul, SK Kapoor
July-September 2008, 52(3):117-124
Background and Objectives: To estimate the prevalence and levels of common risk factors for noncommunicable disease in a rural population of Haryana. Methods: The study involved a survey of 1359 male and 1469 female respondents, aged 15-64 years. Multistage sampling was used for recruitment (PHCs/ sub-centres/ villages). All households in the selected villages were covered, with one male and one female interviewed in alternate household. WHO STEP- wise tool was used as the study instrument which included behavioural risk factor questionnaire and physical measurements of height, weight, waist circumference and blood pressure. The age adjusting was done using rural Faridabad data from Census 2001. Results: The age adjusted prevalence of daily smoked tobacco was 41% for men and 13% for women. Daily smokeless tobacco use was 7.1% and 1.2% for men and women respectively. The prevalence of current alcohol consumption was 24.6% among men and none of the women reported consuming alcohol. The mean number of servings of fruits and vegetables per day was 3.7 for men and 2.7 for women. The percentage of people undertaking at least 150 minutes of physical activity in a week was 77.8% for men and 54.5% for women. Among men 9.0 % had BMI > 25.0 compared to 15.2% among women. The prevalence of measured hypertension, i.e. >140 SBP and/or >90 DBP or on antihypertensive drugs was 10.7% among men and 7.9% among women. Conclusion: The study showed a high burden of tobacco use and alcohol use among men, inactivity and overweight among women and low fruit and vegetable consumption among both sexes in rural areas.

Elimination of iodine deficiency disorders - Current status in Purba Medinipur district of West Bengal, India
AB Biswas, I Chakraborty, DK Das, A Chakraborty, D Ray, K Mitra
Background and Objectives: Towards sustainable elimination of iodine deficiency disorders (IDD), the existing programme needs to be monitored through recommended methods and indicators. Thus, we conducted the study to assess the current status of IDD in Purba Medinipur district, West Bengal. Methods: It was a community based cross-sectional study; undertaken from October 2006 - April 2007. 2400 school children, aged 8-10 years were selected by '30 cluster' sampling technique. Indicators recommended by the WHO/UNICEF/ICCIDD were used. Subjects were clinically examined by standard palpation technique for goitre, urinary iodine excretion was estimated by wet digestion method and salt samples were tested by spot iodine testing kit. Results: The total goitre rate (TGR) was 19.7% (95% Cl = 18.1 - 21.3 %) with grade I and grade II (visible goitre) being 16.7% and 3% respectively. Goitre prevalence did not differ by age but significant difference was observed in respect of sex. Median urinary iodine excretion level was 11.5 mcg/dL and none had value less than 5 mcg/dL. Only 50.4% of the salt samples tested were adequately iodised (? 15 ppm). Conclusion: The district is in a phase of transition from iodine deficiency to iodine sufficiency as evident from the high goitre prevalence (19.7%) and median urinary iodine excretion (11.5mcg/dL) within optimum limit. But, salt iodisation level far below the recommended goal highlights the need for intensified efforts towards successful transition.
Needle sticks injury among nurses involved in patient care: A study in two medical college hospitals of West Bengal
GK Joardar, C Chatterjee, SK Sadhukhan, M Chakraborty, P Dass, A mandal
A hospital-based retrospective study on a sample of 228 nurses involved in patient care, in two medical college hospitals of West Bengal, showed that 61.4% of them sustained at least one Needle Stick Injury (NSI) in last 12 months. The risk of such injuries per 1000 nurses per year was found to be 3,280. Out of the most recent injuries among 140 nurses, 92.9% remained unreported to appropriate authorities; in 52.9% events hand gloves were worn by the nurses; only 5% of those nurses received hepatitis B vaccine, 2.1% hepatitis B immunoglobulin and none of them received post exposure prophylaxis for HIV.
Hypertension and epidemiological factors among tribal labour population in Gujarat
Rajnarayan R Tiwari
A cross sectional study was carried out in 2005 to find out the magnitude of hypertension among 154 tribal labourers of Gujarat belonging to Naika, Rathwa and Damor tribes. WHO classification of hypertension was taken as operational criteria and data was collected in pre-designed, pretested schedule. Blood pressure measurement was done twice on each subject using mercury sphygmomanometer. Overall magnitude of hypertension was found to be 16.9%, and only smoking was found to have significantly associated with it.

Methods: A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted during January-December 2004 among 1000 study subjects of all age groups selected randomly from four villages under rural field practice area of a teaching institution. Subjects were interviewed and examined using a predesigned schedule. Percentage prevalence, chi square test and multiple logistic regression analysis were used for statistical analysis. Results: The prevalence of disability was found to be 6.3%. Both physical and mental disabilities are of great concrn in this area. 80% of the disabled had multiple disabilities. Knowledge and occupation plays a major role as determinants of disability. Chronic medical conditions are also more common among disabled.
Homelessness: A hidden public health problem
S Patra, K Anand
Homelessness is a problem, which affects not only the people who are homeless but the whole society. This problem is not well recognized among the public health professionals. This paper attempts to discuss the issues in the context of homelessness starting from the definition used to methodology of estimation of their numbers as well as their health problems and health care needs. There is lack of data on the health problems of homelessness from India. There is no special health or social programmes or services for this subsection of the society. The existing number of shelters is inadequate and as there are multiple barriers, which prevent them to have proper access to the existing health care system. With the changing social and economic scenario, homelessness is likely to increase. We need to recognize homelessness as a public health problem and attempt to target this group for special care in order to promote equity in health system.
A study on delivery and newborn care practices in a rural block of West Bengal
P Das, S Ghosh, M Ghosh, A Mandal
A cross-sectional study was conducted in a rural block of the State of West Bengal to generate area specific data on the proportion of home deliveries and certain newborn care practices prevalent in that area. The study was done through house-to-house survey among 165 mothers who delivered in last six months. 83.6% deliveries were conducted at home and untrained persons attended 36.3% deliveries. Bath within 24 hours of delivery was given to 17.58% newborns. Birthweight was not recorded in 38.18%. High proportion of newborns, 78.5%, was given prelacteal feeding. The health system should urgently address the deficiencies in the delivery and newborn care practices in the study area.
Respiratory morbidity among street sweepers working at Hanumannagar Zone of Nagpur municipal corporation, Maharashtra
Yogesh D Sabde, Sanjay P Zodpey
Due to the occupational exposure street sweepers are very much vulnerable to develop the chronic diseases of respiratory system. Therefore this study was undertaken to find out the proportion of chronic respiratory morbidity among the street sweepers and the role of various associated risk factors. The study included two groups: study group i.e. street sweepers and comparison group (Class IV workers working in the office buildings). Various risk factors studied were age, sex, socioeconomic status, length of service, smoking habit, type of house, area of residence, cooking fuel and pets. Proportion of chronic respiratory morbidity (chronic bronchitis, asthma and bronchiectasis) was higher (8.1%) among street sweepers compared to comparison group (2.1%), the difference being statistically significant. Unconditional multivariate logistic regression revealed that risk of having chronic respiratory morbidity among street sweepers was 4.24 (95 % CI of OR = 1.24 to 14.50) times higher than that in the comparison group and the risk increased significantly with increasing length of service (OR = 1.75, 95 % CI = 1.09 to 2.81).
Integrated diseases surveillance project (IDSP) through a consultant's lens
K Suresh
India has long experienced one of the highest burdens of infectious diseases in the world, fueled by factors including a large population, high poverty levels, poor sanitation, and problems with access to health care and preventive services. It has traditionally been difficult to monitor disease burden and trends in India, even more difficult to detect, diagnose, and control outbreaks until they had become quite large. In an effort to improve the surveillance and response infrastructure in the country, in November 2004 the Integrated Disease Surveillance Project (IDSP) was initiated with funding from the World Bank. Given the surveillance challenges in India, the project seeks to accomplish its goals through, having a small list of priority conditions, many of which are syndrome-based at community and sub center level and easily recognizable at the out patients and inpatients care of facilities at lowest levels of the health care system, a simplified battery of laboratory tests and rapid test kits, and reporting of largely aggregate data rather than individual case reporting. The project also includes activities that are relatively high technology, such as computerization, electronic data transmission, and video conferencing links for communication and training. The project is planned to be implemented all over the country in a phased manner with a stress on 14 focus states for intensive follow-up to demonstrate successful implementation of IDSP. The National Institute of Communicable Diseases chosen to provide national leadership may have to immediately address five issues. First, promote surveillance through major hospitals (both in public and private sector) and active surveillance through health system staff and community, second, build capacity for data collation, analysis, interpretation to recognize warning signal of outbreak, and institute public health action, third, develop a system which allows availability of quality test kits at district and state laboratories and /or culture facilities at identified laboratories and a national training program to build capacities for performing testing and obtaining high quality results, fourth, there must be a process established by which an appropriate quality assurance program can be implemented and fifth, encourage use of IT infrastructure for data transmission, analysis, routine communication (E-mail etc) and videoconferencing for troubleshooting, consultations and epidemiological investigations. These five activities must be addressed at the national level and cannot be left up to individual states/districts.

Hospitalisation due to infectious and parasitic diseases in district civil hospital, Belgaum, Karnataka
AC Naik, S Bhat, SD Kholkute
To assess the burden of infectious and parasitic diseases on hospital services at District Civil Hospital (DCH) Belgaum, a retrospective study was carried out using discharge records concerning 8506 inpatients due to infectious and parasitic diseases among 95655 patients admitted for all causes during the reference period 2000-2003. Out of the 21 causes of infectious and parasitic diseases, only 5 contributed maximally towards hospital admission. The most frequent cause was intestinal infections (44.0%) followed by tuberculosis (35.4%). 57.5% of these admissions were from the productive age group of 20-54 years. Tuberculosis is the most important disease in terms of hospital bed days (59.7%). Tuberculosis and intestinal infectious diseases represent more than three-fourth of the overall burden in terms of hospital bed days.

Dietary profile of sportswomen participating in team games at state/national level
Ritu Jain, S Puri, N Saini
A cross sectional study was conducted to assess dietary profile of 100 Delhi based national / state level sportswomen, aged 18 - 25 years, participating in team games - volleyball, hockey, football and kabaddi. Mean energy intake was found to be 1471 + 479 Kcal. Only 24 percent of the sports women met the recommendations of 60 - 65 energy percent from carbohydrates and 87 percent were consuming more than 25 energy percent from fat. The mean macronutrients and micronutrient intakes of all the subjects were much lower than the recommendations. Improper food choices were also observed in majority. It becomes necessary to generate awareness among sports personnel regarding proper nutrition practices.
Perception regarding quality of services in urban ICDS blocks in Delhi
A Davey, S Davey, U Datta
The good quality of the services is an important determinant for acceptance of a programme in a community. It not only enhances the credibility of a worker at the ground level but also generate the demand for the services. In this paper perception for the quality of the services was assessed through the exit interview of the beneficiaries at the Anganwadi centres (AWCs). 200 beneficiaries were included from 20 AWCs in a period of one and half month. 52.5% respondents were dissatisfied for the services provided from the AWC for one or more reason. The most common reason mentioned was the not easy accessibility of the AWC and less space available at the AWC (68.6%), followed by the poor quality of the food distributed (66.7%) and irregular pre school education (57.1%) from AWCs.

Book review: Speculative Everything. Design, Fiction, and Social Dreaming
Speculative Everything. Design, Fiction, and Social Dreaming, by Anthony Dunne and Fiona Raby.
(Available on amazon UK and USA )
Publisher MIT Press writes: Today designers often focus on making technology easy to use, sexy, and consumable. In Speculative Everything, Anthony Dunne and Fiona Raby propose a kind of design that is used as a tool to create not only things but ideas. For them, design is a means of speculating about how things could be–to imagine possible futures. This is not the usual sort of predicting or forecasting, spotting trends and extrapolating; these kinds of predictions have been proven wrong, again and again. Instead, Dunne and Raby pose “what if” questions that are intended to open debate and discussion about the kind of future people want (and do not want). Read the rest of this entry »

As sculptures of wood, metal, cloth and clay by the expert material manipulator fill the galleries of Tate Britain, we take a closer look at one of the biggest works in this retrospective, the room-sized After
Swell, ripple, undulate and flow: these are just a few of the gut-feelings that emerge when in the presence of Richard Deacon’s wooden sculpture After.
Looking at the nearly 10 metre-long floor-standing sculpture, there’s an irresistible urge to imagine yourself as a tiny nimble figure, sliding across its perfectly proportioned planes and smooth strips of wood, as if riding the crest of a giant wave.
There’s something honest and yet hearty about this sculpture. Its undulating wood mixes rigidity with movement, making a shape suggestive of nature’s various forms in plant, animal or man. Robust, dynamic and lively, there’s a new view at every curve.
Its steamed and bent strips of wood is one of Deacon’s most distinctive techniques and typifies his affection for working with strips or sheets of materials, avoiding solid or closed forms. Speaking on his work in 1985 Deacon said:
‘The way that I work, seems to be to start, if not from nothing, from minimal conditions. They’re not amorphous, pure mass like lumps of clay, neither do they have the phenomenal strength of rock or a piece of nature. They have a certain independence. Making them into shapes is an act of will on my part.’
For over four decades Deacon has used a wide range of material in his work, from wood and polycarbonate, to leather, cloth and ceramics. Bending, shaping, twisting and joining are just a few of the structural manipulations he applies, and in doing so tend to expose their own means of construction. Referring to himself as a ‘fabricator’, a term he uses to distinguish his methods from that of a carver or modeller, he explains:
‘I quite like the idea that a fabrication can be something made up rather than the truth. When you fabricate something it has a straightforward sense of making but it also has a sense of invention or make-believe. I always like that dual play. All the work I make is fundamentally made. It’s not cast or modelled or carved.’
You could say it’s his unique method of manipulating ordinary material that makes the ordinary extraordinary. I’ll leave that up to you to decide – but personally, I’m a big fan of the make-believe.
What do Richard Deacon’s sculptures mean to you? Tell us what you see
Richard Deacon is on display at Tate Britain until 27 April 2014
Time & Motion: Redefining Working Life, at FACT in Liverpool
Finally! A few words about FACT’s ongoing exhibition, Time & Motion: Redefining Working Life….
San Precario, saint patron of the generation of workers holding precarious jobs
Original Films Of Frank B Gilbreth – Business Process Management
The title of the show is a direct reference to the Time & Motion Study, a method developed by Frederick Taylor (and later by Frank and Lillian Gilbreth) in the early 20th century to analyse work procedures and determine workers’ optimal productivity standards.
By bringing side by side archive material and contemporary artworks to explore how the working day has evolved from the industrial revolution to the digital age, Time & Motion: Redefining Working Life makes it quite clear that a lot has changed since the days of the good mister Taylor. Digital technology has brought numerous work opportunities, but also new rhythms: work accompanies freelances and employees whether they’re in an office, at home or in transit from one to the other and back. Some people juggle several jobs (no wonder at a time when a London flat earns more than a professional writer) and zero hour contracts are the ultimate expression of work ‘flexibility’.
Our economy has changed too, it is now mostly characterized by services and knowledge (whether they are outsourced or crowdsourced) and mass consumption coexists with models in which we are both consumers and producers.

In this context, what remains of the Eight Hour Day movement preconized by social reformer Robert Owen in the first half of the 19th century? Is there a new definition of ‘work life balance’?
Artists, along with anyone working in the cultural sector, have experienced this evolution of working standards perhaps more acutely than most people. It seemed thus natural that FACT, in collaboration with the Royal College of Art, would ask them to explore these questions. The result is timely, thought-provoking and at time, upsetting. Time & Motion will, i am sure, bring a new perspective on your working day.
I’ve actually already interviewed some of the artists in the show: last year, Revital Cohen and Tuur Van Balen told me about 75 Watt, an object for dancing in the factory line and last week, Oliver Walker explained his One Pound video installation.
Here’s a couple of works i found equally interesting:
Sam Meech, Punchcard Economy, 2013. Installation at FACT as part of Time and Motion Redefining Working Life
Sam Meech paid homage to the heritage of the local textile industry, whilst delineating contemporary working patterns in which digital technologies have enabled the blurring of work and private life.
Meech asked people working in the ‘creative industry’ to log their working hours on the project website. The data collected was compared to the traditional 8 hour shift and translated into a knitting pattern which was used to create a banner based on Owen’s ‘8 hours labour, 8 hours recreation, 8 hours rest’ slogan.
The banner was produced on a domestic knitting machine using a combination of digital imaging tools and traditional punchcard systems.
Tehching Hsieh, One Year Performance, 1980-81. Photograph and C. Tehching Hsieh
Between 1978 and 1986, Tehching Hsieh did a series of One Year Performances. He lived one year inside a cage, one year completely outdoors, one year tied to another person, one year without making, viewing, discussing, reading about, or in any other way participating in art (and as a consequence this last performance is barely documented.) A photo in the exhibition reminded us that in 1980-1981, the artist spent a whole year punching a workers’ time clock in his studio every hour. This last endeavour involved never being able to sleep for more than one hour running or not being allowed to leave his house for longer than 60 minutes.
Blake Fall-Conroy, Minimum Wage Machine, 2008 – 2010. Installation at FACT as part of Time and Motion Redefining Working Life
The Minimum Wage Machine allows visitors to work for minimum wage. Turning the crank will yield one penny every 5.7 seconds, for £6.31 an hour (UK minimum wage). If the participant stops turning the crank, they stop receiving money.
The process couldn’t be more transparent: you turn a handle, a clock records your effort and penny fall down as a reward. Ultra simple and cynical!
In the future, I see possibility in a lot of these machines hooked into a grid, with people performing basic human labor for money, Fall-Conroy told Make magazine. Perhaps a new form of renewable energy generation? A new kind of supercomputer with thousands of people performing basic calculations at minimum wage “stations” across the world? Who knows?
Molleindustria, To Build a Better Mousetrap, 2013
Molleindustria‘s usual neat aesthetics casts a critical eye at the increasing popularity of online management games in which the user performs time-based tasks. The game examines the blurring of work and play and highlights the tensions between labour, automation, unemployment and repression.
Andrew Norman Wilson, Workers Leaving the Googleplex, 2011
Andrew Norman Wilson’s short video Workers Leaving the Googleplex draws a direct parallel with what is regarded as the first real motion picture ever made: the Lumière brothers’ silent film Workers Leaving the Lumière Factory. Wilson planted his camera in front of two Google locations in California to document the various levels of workers. It turns out that the possession of a badge of a certain colour dictates your place in the Google hierarchy and the amount of privileges you have access to.

Adrian McEwen, Marking Time, 2013. Installation at FACT as part of Time and Motion Redefining Working Life
Adrian McEwen hacked an antique clock that used to regulate strict time management and remixed it with the retro mathematical Game of Life, created by John Horton Conway in 1970.
Each day a new game plays out, driven by the punch of the time clock. The mechanical action of the clock is combined with a computer which drives a nearby monitor – and also replayed on the LED screen at the front of the FACT building – to visualise the Game of Life grid and move it on a turn every time a timecard is stamped.

Klee’s second rule of Bauhaus: rules are made to be broken
Pictorial Architecture Red, Yellow, Blue, Paul Klee, 1923
Last week in our Bauhaus lesson series, we learnt about Paul Klee’s teachings on line. This week we’re on to structure, and curator Matthew Gale helps us tackle a terrifying array of grids and numbers that surely can have nothing to do with painting…
So, back to Paul Klee’s unforgettably obscure teaching handbook, Pedagogical Sketchbook. Matthew, please explain why today’s pages looks like GSCE maths
Ah, well here Klee is thinking about structure in very simple mathematical terms, with the checker-board composition generated by number sequences.
But why would I want to pre-plan my painting in numbers?
Klee is exploring the idea that, rather than simply going ‘oh well, I rather fancy putting blue there’, you can create various logical sequences that give you different schemes. How can I draw a parallel with it? It’s like trying to think about colour in relation to accountancy, in a bizarre way. And to leap ahead a generation, when you look at the British artists on whom this sort of thing had a real impact, such as Mary and Kenneth Martin, they’re very fixated on how these numbering systems can be the basis for the art.
Can we see this approach – let’s call it art-countancy – in Klee’s own work?
Yes, some of these diagrams are very close to the basic elements that underlie the Magic Square paintings from 1923 and onwards (see Pictorial Architecture, Red, Yellow Blue above). But you can often see that he will set out a structure and then disrupt it – because he’s not actually interested in severe structure.
He’s ‘not that interested’? To quote the above page: ‘11+10+11+10+11+10= (11+10)+(11+10)+(11+10)=21+21+21=1+1+1
Well. My guess is that he’d say it simply gives you stability from which variety grows. He wouldn’t say ‘well, here’s your answer’. He’d say ‘well, here are the possibilities’. It was probably a bit flummoxing for his students.
Disconcertingly, there’s a story that at the end of teaching this course, Klee would say well, I’ve shown you certain ways of making things, but I actually do it completely differently. And then he pushes off for a holiday!
That’s it for today. Here’s what we’ve learnt so far…
LESSON ONE: Learn the rules! Understanding the nature of mark-making is the key to creating a good composition
LESSON TWO: Break the rules. Understanding the potential structure of form allows you to disrupt it
NEXT WEEK… Why nature has the answers
Two lessons down, what are your thoughts on Klee’s Pedagogical Sketchbook teachings? Have you got your head around them to use in your art work? Let us know!

Umm, about those 11 words they wanted to withhold from the Pentagon Papers, never mind
From Secrecy News:
WHY WEREN'T 11 WORDS REDACTED FROM THE PENTAGON PAPERS?
On May 26 Archivist of the United States David S. Ferriero announced that the Pentagon Papers, the famous history of the Vietnam War, had been formally declassified and would be released -- except for eleven words that remained classified. But then on June 13, the Papers were published in full with no redactions at all.
What happened? It turns out that the mysterious eleven words had already been published 40 years ago, making their continued classification moot.
Staffers at the Lyndon B. Johnson Presidential Library discovered on June 3 that "The full text of that page [containing the eleven words] was released in 1971 [by the House Armed Services Committee] in what appears to be an officially declassified copy," according to email correspondence (pdf) released this week by the National Archives under the Freedom of Information Act.
In other respects the House Armed Services Committee edition of the Papers was "heavily redacted," officials noted, but it did contain the eleven words.
Given the fact of their prior disclosure, any attempt to keep them classified now would surely backfire, they reasoned.
"The researcher who is most aggressive in pursuing the PP [Pentagon Papers], John Prados [of the National Security Archive], will most likely find the 'declassified' occurrence of the page pretty quickly. So please advise everyone that if they insist on maintaining the redaction, Prados will likely scope out the 'declassified' page very quickly. As you can tell by his NPR appearance [on June 3], Prados will parade this discovery like a politician on the 4th of July," wrote Alex Daverede of the National Archives.
This argument was persuasive, and the proposed redactions were deemed to be "no longer appropriate." But neither the classifying agency nor the now restored eleven words themselves were publicly identified. Sheryl Shenberger, the former CIA employee who leads the National Declassification Center, told her colleagues somewhat peremptorily that such disclosure was "unnecessary."
"I think we can all agree that it is unnecessary to provide any further insight into what was originally considered for redaction or which agency or agencies were suggesting those redactions," Ms. Shenberger wrote. "It should be enough to announce that we... are delighted to have determined that we can release this historic document in full."

Music Connection – Williams’ billing as “host” of this year’s three-night run with David Newman as primary conductor could have meant a whole host of things, and of course, some feared that the legend would simply be on hand to say hello to the adoring crowd and introduce his pieces. That concern was dispelled immediately when he ascended the stand to conduct the LA Phil through the national anthem. As for Newman’s role conducting all the pieces until the scheduled “Star Wars” suite at the end, there was a dynamic historical reason for this, based on Williams’ background. – Full review
Edge Media Network – Of course Williams and Newman both bantered with the audience delighting the packed crowd with anecdotes of their early years in the biz. Williams also told fans that they will be very pleased with the ending of the forthcoming Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker. – Full review
BMI (short report) – The annual Labor Day program featuring Williams’ work included 11 pieces from his incomparable resume, some of which were performed live to clips from their blockbuster films. In appreciation for such an unforgettable evening of music, the audience encouraged Williams and Newman to return to the stage three times, providing a 10 minute-long standing ovation at the conclusion. – Full review
