Home Mobile Android Android’s Messages app is getting spam protection and verification for businesses
Android’s Messages app is getting spam protection and verification for businesses
“The new services are designed to help users identify spammers, fake numbers and more such fraudulent businesses”
Google is set to introduce two new features that will help users better protect themselves against spammers, malicious actors and other such threat actors. The new features are called ‘Verified SMS’ and ‘Spam Detection’, and come at a time when threat actors using SMS services to steal identification and financial data are on a steady rise.
With Verified SMS, Google will reportedly verify each and every SMS message sent by a user, on a per-message basis. These users will all be businesses, and not private accounts, at least for now. This leaves room for certain, small scale threat actors to still operate, but given Google’s typical offerings, the service will scale up soon. The number of businesses included in the service is quite limited right now, but it is expected to increase soon. Right now, Verified SMS is available in nine countries, including India, and will help users identify whether a business is genuine in nature, or not.
The second feature, which is rolling out only in the US right now, is called Spam Detection. In this, Google will use its repertoire of information, logs of data, and machine learning algorithms to detect messages that count as spam, and accordingly alert a user by placing a red exclamation mark alert beside the message. This is being done to help users avoid mass phishing efforts, hence preventing malicious URLs from spreading virally and causing a major loss of data.
With these new features, Google will hope to have made messaging a more secure process in the long run. While the initial countries will only serve as a pilot for Google’s endeavours, the feature should expand to other countries soon, should it manage to do as intended.

Constrained energy minimization and orbital stability for the NLS equation on a star graph
Adami, Riccardo; Cacciapuoti, Claudio; Finco, Domenico; Noja, Diego
Annales de l'I.H.P. Analyse non linéaire, Volume 31 (2014) no. 6, p. 1289-1310
On a star graph 𝒢, we consider a nonlinear Schrödinger equation with focusing nonlinearity of power type and an attractive Dirac's delta potential located at the vertex. The equation can be formally written as i∂ t Ψ(t)=-ΔΨ(t)-|Ψ(t)| 2μ Ψ(t)+αδ 0 Ψ(t), where the strength α of the vertex interaction is negative and the wave function Ψ is supposed to be continuous at the vertex. The values of the mass and energy functionals are conserved by the flow. We show that for 0<μ⩽2 the energy at fixed mass is bounded from below and that for every mass m below a critical mass m ⁎ it attains its minimum value at a certain Ψ ˆ m ∈H 1 (𝒢).Moreover, the set of minimizers has the structure ℳ={e iθ Ψ ˆ m ,θ∈ℝ}. Correspondingly, for every m<m ⁎ there exists a unique ω=ω(m) such that the standing wave Ψ ˆ ω e iωt is orbitally stable. To prove the above results we adapt the concentration-compactness method to the case of a star graph. This is nontrivial due to the lack of translational symmetry of the set supporting the dynamics, i.e. the graph. This affects in an essential way the proof and the statement of concentration-compactness lemma and its application to minimization of constrained energy. The existence of a mass threshold comes from the instability of the system in the free (or Kirchhoff's) case, that in our setting corresponds to α=0.

Helen Mirren wants to be de-aged in a film
By Bang Showbiz in Movies / TV / Theatre on 10 November 2019
Follow Helen Mirren
Helen Mirren Martin Scorsese Ian McKellen Patrick Stewart
Dame Helen Mirren admits that she finds the concept of de-ageing in cinema ''very interesting'' and would allow CGI trickery to make her younger, however, her 'The Good Liar' co-star Sir Ian McKellen is less keen on the special effect which was used in Martin Scorsese's 'The Irishman'.
Dame Helen Mirren wants de-ageing technology to be used on her for a film role.
The 74-year-old actress finds the CGI technology, which has been prominently used in Martin Scorsese's 'The Irishman', ''very interesting'' and she wouldn't oppose a director's wish to use it on her.
When asked whether she would want to be de-aged, she told movie website HeyUGuys: ''Of course. It's very interesting that you can make people younger digitally.''
Mirren stars in new thriller 'The Good Liar' alongside Sir Ian McKellen, but the 80-year-old thespian has reservations about the special effect, admitting he was made to look more youthful in one of the 'X Men' films and he looked ''ridiculous''.
Ian recalled: ''Patrick Stewart and I were made younger in one of the X Men movies and it looked ridiculous.''
The 'Lord of the Rings' star also pointed out that technology can't totally convince an audience that a performer is younger than they really are.
He said: ''Your face can look 30 but you still have a 70-year-old body. You still have to act young.''
'The Good Liar' marked the first time that the pair have worked together in their careers and both stressed the importance of working on movies with the right people.
Mirren said: ''We aren't method actors. We are absolutely the opposite. If you enjoy your craft and you're with someone else who does, it's fun.''
McKellen, 80, also recalled how working in ensemble casts helped him develop his skills in the early phase of his career.
He said: ''I began acting professionally in a company that did a lot of plays together, it's always about the people you work with.''

You’re late. You overslept because working at a hospital means you have to work sixteen hours at a time, and you got home at 4 a.m. last night. You were exhausted. But you’re still supposed to get your daughter to school on time by 8 a.m., so you skip getting dressed and drive her to school in your pajamas. You park and attempt to usher your daughter inside, only to be stopped by administration before you can walk into the building.
You are banned from entering your daughter’s high school because you are wearing pajamas.
Ludicrous as it may seem, this holds the potential to become a legitimate scenario in Houston Independent School District (HISD) where Madison High School Principal Outley Brown recently implemented a new dress code– not for students, but for parents. The official memo to parents stated the prohibition of pajamas, bonnets, hair rollers, leggings, torn jeans, low-cut tops and dresses, undershirts and any garments resembling thereof. Also included in the memo was a justification of the new decree, stating that “we are preparing our children for the future and it begins here.”
Since Houston ISD's Madison High School is getting national attention for this…https://t.co/bLPrBJ1GTT
A good time to talk about Madison's academic outcomes last year…
Math/science/English AP exams passed: 0
Four-year graduation rate: 72%
College enrollment rate: 40%
— Jacob Carpenter (@ChronJacob) April 24, 2019
This parental dress code epitomizes complete and total disregard for the individual circumstances families come from; along with demonstrating underlying tones of classism and racism as well, not to mention the unrealistic standards it enforces.
Pajamas are defined as “any clothes suitable to sleep in.” So how can it be determined by a single individual what qualifies as pajamas and what doesn’t? Does the dress code ban sweatpants and t-shirts as well, since many people consider these pajamas? To try and enforce the prohibition of pajamas, when the garment is so ambiguously defined in the memo, serves as the first indication that the parental dress code fails to address the purpose it asserts; for how can parents adhere to a more “professional” dress code, if it fails to define what qualifies as such? Showing up to Madison High School in sweatpants might get you escorted off school property, but you can never be certain because you are not sure whether they qualify as pajamas. The only way to be sure is to show up at Madison and hope you’re allowed to see your child.
In addition to the outrageous expectations it sets forth, the memo demonstrates utter and oblivious disregard for the eclectic nature of HISD. The issue of discrimination based on natural hair was recently illuminated by the New York City Commission on Human Rights. New state guidelines, released in February, outlined the now illegality of discriminating against an individual based on the style, color, or texture of their hair. The rules of the dress code forbid bonnets, shower caps, head scarfs, and an assortment of head coverings along with those, some of which are often used by people to maintain the natural state of their hair. The dress code is a prime example of underlying discrimination, in that the prevention of certain head coverings on school grounds restricts parents’ ability to maintain their natural hair.
In essence, blatant racism.
Medical conditions may also justify the need for a head covering, such as to cover bald spots, hide stitches, or for various other reasons that should not be required to divulge to the administration. Banning something as versatile as head coverings doesn’t allow accommodations for varying individual circumstances and is disrespectful to the needs of many.
Brown defended her decision to implement the adult dress code. “I felt a need to enact a dress code because it’s an educational environment, a place of learning,” Brown told ABC News. “And when anyone walks in, we have impressionable children and we have to model what we want them to know.”
The attire one is wearing, provided it is not wildly revealing or inappropriate, should not be able to dictate whether a parents gets to see their child. Days before the release of the memo a woman was reported to have been detained by police after she attempted to enroll her child at Madison while wearing a headscarf– subsequently refusing to leave school premises after she was asked to leave. Another mother was forced to rush to the school after her son had broken his arm and was simply handed a copy of the dress code because she was wearing a satin shower cap, never being allowed into the building due to what she was wearing. This should absolutely not play a role in whether a parent can enter into a school building. What the district should really worry about is whether parents are acting belligerent, carrying a weapon, or pose an immediate threat to students.
Since the district’s abysmal academic scores have been pointed out on Twitter, Principal Outley should consider releasing statements on the capabilities on her students rather than focusing what parents are wearing to school. Clothing has little bearing on the outcomes of her students’ test score; what does impact them is emphasis on the curriculum and analyzing what the county could be doing better.
You are not preparing your children for the future. You are unfairly relegating the people they look up to.

New Signs of Life from Central and Eastern Europe

Signs of Life from Hungary -- 89
Signs of Life from Hungary Volume XI No. 89
Monthly prayer update on the ministry of the
Protestant Institute for Mission Studies
by Anne-Marie Kool
Budapest, 7 May 2004.
“Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.” Eph. 3, 20-21
In the seventeen years that I have been in Hungary, it has never before been the case that you did not receive a Signs of Life from me for five months. A lot has happened. It has been a time of personal difficulties and struggles, and also of problems with my health. Meanwhile there were the challenges of teaching - never before did I teach five new courses in one term - and the financial concerns for the Missions Institute, which are still pressing, although we were able to close the year with less of a shortfall than had originally been anticipated. Looking back, it was like a journey through the desert: I longed for water, was tired and sometimes even felt despondent.
An oasis time
And then, unexpectedly there was an oasis. At the invitation of the Reformed Church in America, at the end of March and the beginning of April, in a three weeks period, I visited more than ten Churches in seven different States, and I stayed in twelve different places. Everywhere I received a warm welcome and met with great interest for the work of the Protestant Institute for Mission Studies. What struck me is that mission is really considered a matter for the whole Church. At the Sunday worship service, I was usually asked to talk for ten to fifteen minutes about the work of the Missions Institute. People listened attentively, and in particular there was much prayer. Mission is not something for a missionary evening with a small group of missionary supporters, but rather it is for young and old, for the whole Church. I also noticed much concern for those on the fringes of the Church and the un-churched. Much is being done to take down barriers and remove the doorsteps. In most places, more than 10% of the budget is being dedicated to missionary projects.
During the trip, I also spoke at a conference for Christian businesswomen, with fellow leaders of theological institutes in Colombia, the Philippines, South Africa and China. It is impossible to express in words what it meant at the end of the conference to receive a Bible with the signatures of more than thirty people, who said they were willing to pray for me regularly. I will try to keep you update on our prayer concerns!
After three busy weeks, I came home spiritually refreshed, ready to continue the journey through the desert.
Praise God for the willingness of many people and a number of Churches to regularly pray and support the ministry of the Missions Institute?
An historical time
In the past years, I experienced many historical moments in connection with 'the changes' of 1989. The joining of the EU last week was another such moment. But for many, it was accompanied by mixed feelings:
'So many new regulations are being imposed on us "from above" in Brussels that we are loosing the unity of our Hungarian culture.” Old "mechanisms" are coming into action again, from the time when "from above" was in Moscow…
A new time
In the meantime, the PMTI programs continue. In March, we started the 'World Christian', a six-month distance learning course for Church members interested in missions and evangelism, with one teaching day a month in Budapest, under the excellent leadership of my colleague Siba-Rohn Hilda. The sixteen participants are from different Church backgrounds and represent a wide range of professions. The aim is to teach them to live their Christian life with a worldwide perspective, and to take their responsibility as Christians in the world seriously. Zoltán comes from the Hungarian speaking part of Serbia. He came to faith a year ago after a godless life in which he was a law unto himself. Now he has the desire to share his newfound faith with others, and especially to start a youth ministry in the area in which he lives. He travels all night to be able to attend the course on Saturdays, as does Ferenc, who comes from the Hungarian speaking part of Romania. Besides some elders from a Church in Budapest, there is also a surgeon, who used to be an alcoholic and who was converted four years ago. He too has a desire to be an instrument in the service of God. Without exception, they faithfully do their assignments, write papers and prepare for the practical placements this summer.
Please pray for these students, that they may be an instrument of renewal in their Churches, and especially for the scholarship fund, so that they can complete their studies. Their own contribution to the course only covers twenty percent of the actual costs. For every student, about 225 USD is still required.
Travelling Romany study seminar
Next week, students of the Masters program course are taking part in a study trip of a week throughout Hungary to visit all sorts of projects related to missions to the Romany (gypsies). In recent years, we have become increasingly aware of what an important missionary challenge the Romany form. In the whole of Eastern Europe, there are about six million of them, of whom about 600,000 to a million are in Hungary. It increasingly strikes me that the work of the Churches is very fragemented. The workers are often very lonely, have received hardly any training, and actually have nowhere they can go to share their struggles, not to mention the lack of reflection on the how and what of work among the Romany.
Please pray for growing cooperation, including internationally, and for a more compassionate, forgiving and reconciliatory attitude in the Churches. Pray that we may find the funds to pay for this trip. We trust that the Lord can supply the 2500 USD needed.
After a period of waiting for half a year for approval regarding fire regulations, three weeks ago for the first time my Hungarian home church, the Gazdagret Church was allowed to hold the regular Sunday service in the new church building. A month earlier, the situation still seemed hopeless, but suddenly there was a change. Prayers were answered. In one of the first services, we were encouraged to look to Him 'who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us'. The official opening will take place on 19th September next.
Yours in Christ, our Lord and Saviour,
Anne- Marie Kool

Lucia Johnson, a customer of the Bank, was taken by surprise as the management of the bank presented her a brand new motorbike at the bank’s Red Light branch.As part of efforts aimed at expressing appreciation to its loyal customers while engendering a good savings culture in the country, the United Bank for Africa (UBA) on Saturday, October 5, 2019, awarded one of its customers with a brand new motorbike in its savings promotion, “Save and Win.”The winner, Lucia Johnson, a customer of the Bank, was taken by surprise as the management of the bank presented her a brand new motorbike at the Bank’s Red Light branch.The event, which brought together other UBA customers, the management of the bank, as well as several business people from the Red Light Market, was supervised by the National Lottery Authority.Following the announcement of Madam Johnson as the winner by the National Lottery Authority (NLA), the legal body responsible for all raffle draws in the country, other customers grew interested in the campaign, commending the Bank for giving back to its customers and helping to encourage the culture of saving in Liberia.UBA Liberia Managing Director Olalekan Balogun, who presented the keys, explained that the promotion is meant to appreciate and encourage every Liberian to adapt to a culture of saving.He said, “One of the things that we are trying to do here today is to show appreciation and to encourage a saving culture in Liberia.“We found out that a lot of our people do not know that saving can provide benefits to people that usually save their income. So, today is one of those things that we are trying to do here and once you save with UBA you stand to benefit,” he added.According to Balogun, the Save and Win promotion is just the beginning of bigger opportunities for UBA’s customers. All you need to do is to save your money for the period, and you will stand a chance to benefit.”In response, Ms. Johnson said the reward was a surprise, adding: “I feel very good. This is unexpected.”Ms. Johnson then thanked the UBA management for the promotion and for helping to change her life.Madam Johnson has been a customer of UBA for the past two years and is running a small business. The ongoing promo, which commenced on September 1, 2019, is expected to run until January 30, 2020, where the final winner will walk away with a brand new kehkeh (tricycle).According to the Bank, every month, a lucky winner will be rewarded with one motorbike through a raffle draw and a kehkeh (tricycle) for the final draw, which totals to four motorbikes and one kehkeh (tricycle) for the entire period.The criteria to participate in the draw is for all existing and new customers to deposit or build their account balance to US$300 or L$50,000 from the beginning of the month without withdrawing until the end of the month to automatically qualify to win a motorbike through a raffle draw.And to win a kehkeh, one would need to deposit and maintain the same amount of US$300 or L$50,000 until January 2020. According to the bank, those interested in joining UBA can open a savings account in any UBA branch across the country, and start saving to stand a chance of winning.Share this:Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) read more
Mayweather legacy faces challenge from Thai ‘dwarf giant’

0Shares0000At 5ft 2in and weighing just 105lb, Wanheng Menayothin is shorter and leaner than Floyd Mayweather but his powerful punching has earned him the nickname ‘dwarf giant’ © AFP / LILLIAN SUWANRUMPHABANGKOK, Thailand, May 1 – After a career laden with belts, cash and kudos, boxing great Floyd Mayweather Jr retired undefeated over 50 fights — but his flawless record faces an unlikely challenge from an obscure Thai fighter known as the “dwarf giant”.At 5ft 2in (1.57m) and weighing just 105lb (47.6kg), minimumweight Wanheng Menayothin is shorter, leaner and significantly less wealthy than Mayweather, who briefly emerged from retirement last year to fight MMA star Conor McGregor for a $100 million purse. If Wanheng triumphs on Wednesday afternoon he will equal Mayweather’s feat of winning 50 successive fights.His WBC minimumweight belt is on the line against Panamanian challenger Leroy Estrada.The fight, to be held outside the town hall of second-tier Thai city Nakhon Ratchasima, has none of the glitz or pay-per-view pull of a Mayweather bout in Las Vegas.But still Wanheng will enter boxing lore with victory — and, at 32 years of age, has time to go one better and match the 51 wins, one draw and no losses set by Mexican flyweight Ricardo Lopez.It is not just the box office power that differentiates Mayweather from the Thai, who turned to the ring at the age of 12 as a path out of poverty.While the prelude to Mayweather fights was defined by hype and trash-talking, Wanheng has adopted a more karmic approach.“I’m not feeling pressured, you win and you lose, and that’s the nature of sports,” he said at his gym in Bangkok a few days before defending his title.But he said he had trained hard with the aim of “equalling Floyd”.Nicknames also capture the difference between the pair.– Numbers game –In addition to “Money”, the American fought under the moniker “Pretty Boy” and “The Best Ever”, tags he still rolls out on a Twitter profile boasting more than eight million followers.With Wanheng, it’s more complicated.Fighters in Thailand often compete under the label of their gym, which is where his second name Menayothin — the name of his Bangkok gym — comes from.His legal name is Chayaphon Moonsri, while his most widely used nickname is the “dwarf giant” because of his small stature and powerful punches.But the boxer also fights under the alias “Five-Star Grilled Chicken” as part of sponsorship deal with Thai food giant CP Chicken.Should Wanheng win on Wednesday his name will enter the record books, but with an asterisk of sorts.Wanheng says he has trained hard with the aim of ‘equalling Floyd’ © AFP / LILLIAN SUWANRUMPHAHe has fought mostly low-profile Asian challengers on his home turf in Thailand.His rivals have been a mixed bag — one last year had 44 losses, while another in 2014 had 24.In December he tied Rocky Marciano’s 49-0 tally with a win over Japanese contender Tatsuya Fukuhara.Mayweather, meanwhile, had a much tougher ride defeating some of the sport’s all-time greats, including Manny Pacquiao and Oscar De La Hoya.The welterweight has 27 KOs to Wanheng’s 17.“With respect to Wanheng he’s never beaten anyone of note. In the west this fight will be nothing more than a trivial pursuit question,” Anson Wainwright, a boxing correspondent for The Ring magazine, told AFP, adding that matching the record would nevertheless be a “good achievement.”Carlos Costa, a boxing reporter covering the fight, said the 23-year-old Estrada also poses a unique challenge to Wanheng, 32.“He’s younger and fresher,” Costa said of Estrada. “He’s hungry for glory, and that makes a boxer always dangerous.”And the Panamanian is in no mood to help Wanheng into the history books, telling AFP “this is my opportunity to be a champion”.0Shares0000(Visited 1 times, 1 visits today) read more

Thread: from latest news letter on vulcan, hope it is of intrest to some of you if you dont get the news letter

from latest news letter on vulcan, hope it is of intrest to some of you if you dont get the news letter
Regular readers will know XH558 is due a major and expensive structural
modification at the end of the 2013 display season if we are to have the
opportunity to fly the aircraft beyond this year. Apart from the obvious
high financial cost, the work is not without some element of risk, partly
because it requires work on a critical part of XH558's structure, but also
because required tooling and jigs are no longer available, and the
manufacturing techniques specified in the drawings are no longer used!
Read our 'End of Flight' document on the challenges here
Today, we can let you know that we have held several meetings with various
parties to discuss XH558's airframe life challenges and are delighted to
announce we have contracted Cranfield Aerospace, a well-respected company at
the heart of modern design and manufacturing techniques in the aviation
world, to begin detailed measurement, analysis and planning for how we might
best tackle the strengthening of XH558's wing leading edges in accordance
with the modification's specification using current techniques.
Find out about Cranfield Aerospace here
Their impressive provenance includes supporting the Battle of Britain
Memorial Flight and in providing support services for both the UK's Army
Historic Flight and Navy Historic Flight.
Stephen Rutherford, Cranfield's technical lead on historic aircraft
commented,
"Unlocking more flying hours for XH558 is a very challenging task. It's
early days, but this is the first step in one of the most important parts of
the jigsaw. Cranfield has very specialist expertise - possibly amongst the
best available anywhere in this field - and we are thrilled to be able to
apply it to such an important aircraft."
To this end, some visitors to the hangar would have already perhaps noticed
that paint has been removed from the key area on each wing, to enable
high-tech scanning to take place. This will very accurately map out the
external structure of wing, to build up a computer generated 3D model to be
used for analysis and detailed design of the required strengthening plate
that we can put forward as a firm proposal to our engineering authority,
Marshall Aerospace.
Vulcan aircraft were hand-assembled on large frame jigs. No two aircraft
were exactly the same, so it's important when embodying the modification,
that we have all the data pertinent to XH558 correct as there will be no
second chance. Once one wing is digitised, we also have to measure the other
side, which although looking like a mirror image, we know has minor
differences in for example, the positioning of rivets.
The work that we have now commissioned is the first stage of four in
embodying the required fatigue life extension modification on XH558. The
stages a
1/ Research, planning and costing
2/ Design and approval
3/ Manufacture
4/ Installation
Very soon, we will have full costings for the work in Stage 1, and it is our
plan to ask for your support in funding this work by issuing shares for each
stage of the project. We will be updating you very soon and releasing this
share issue next week to help cover the costs.
It is essential that we begin early enough to ensure that the modification,
if it proves feasible, could be installed during the winter of 2013/4.
Cranfield Aerospace engineers will therefore be arriving at the hangar next
week to begin the measurement process and we will obviously keep you fully
updated as their work continues.
Please do remember that given the technical risks involved, we are as yet
unable to confirm that the modification is feasible, but the work we are
starting is firm evidence of our commitment to keep XH558 flying for as long

ABOUT CAVERNOUS ANGIOMA
Text Size: SMALL • LARGE
Are you curious about cavernous angioma (cavernous malformation, CCM, cavernoma) research?
15 years ago, we were in the gene discovery phase and then when the CCM genes were found, we still didn’t know what they did and why mutations in any one of them lead to onset of cavernous angioma. Now, here we are enrolling participants in two clinical trials!
The road has been long, and just as long is the list of research teams, each uniquely contributing to our knowledge and leading us ever closer toward our vision of a permanent cure for CCM.
Would you like to know where research is prospering and what projects are in process?
Below is a geographically-organized overview of the CCM research space. The list induces a diverse summary of some of the many ongoing research projects at laboratories throughout the world.
To learn more about current research results, visit Angioma Alliance Chief Scientific Officer Dr. Amy Akers' Facebook page, our Research News page, and read our newsletters.
To learn about clinical research opportunities, please visit our Participate in Research page and join our Patient Registry. By signing up for the Cavernous Angioma Registry you will be notified about future studies for which you may be eligible to participate.
Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maryland, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania & Virginia
Angioma Alliance - Angioma Alliance’s research program includes our CCM DNA & Tissue BioBank and Brain Vascular Malformation Consortium (BVMC). The biobank program collects biological samples (surgical tissue and blood) and medical records from CCM patients and provides these important resources to our researchers. To learn more, please visit: www.angioma.org/dna The goal of the BVMC study is to understand better the genetic factors that influence disease severity.
BioAxone BioSciences, Inc. – BioAxone is a biopharmaceutical company working to develop a kinase inhibitor drug, BA-1049, for the treatment of CCM.
Boston Children’s Hospital – Under the direction of Dr. Ed Smith, Boston Children’s was recognized as a Clinical Center of Excellence in September of 2017. Boston Children’s supports an active research program led by Dr. Moses focused on vascular diseases. One project related to CCM aims to identify biomarkers in urine that can be used for clinical screening.
Columbia University – Dr. Ghabrial is a fly researcher (the first to join CCM research!). His lab focuses on tube development (like blood vessels and breathing structures) and the regulating signals. CCM3 is involved in this complex signaling network.
Duke University – The Marchuk Lab at Duke University studies the human genetics of CCM and has developed robust mouse models of the illness. These mice are valuable tools for drug studies and are critical for translating laboratory findings to human patients. This group works in collaboration with the University of Chicago to understand better the mechanism by which lesions grow and develop and has also described how lesions grow like a tumor when they first form.
Hampton University – Researchers at Hampton use zebrafish to study cardiovascular development. It was this team that discovered the CCM1 and CCM2 genes in fish. In fish, these genes are called santa and valentine.
National Institutes of Health – The Weinstein lab at NIH focuses on studying blood vessel systems using a zebrafish model. Zebrafish are an excellent tool when studying the effects of genetic mutations in the vasculature – their developing bodies are transparent, making them perfect for fluorescent microscopy.
University of Pennsylvania – The Kahn lab at UPenn is interested in the signaling (molecular) pathways that regulate blood vessel growth and function. Their work with CCM mice led to the discovery connecting the gut microbiome to lesion development.
University of Rochester – The Glading laboratory at the University of Rochester is focused on understanding how cells interact with one another and their environment, critical components to normal cell function and signaling. Dr. Glading’s work investigates how CCM1 protein functions within these processes.
Yale University - Multiple labs at Yale are studying CCM from different aspects – these include analyzing the molecular structure of the CCM proteins in the Boggon Lab, as well as using mouse models in the Min Lab to study the function of the CCM proteins in different parts of the brain and throughout the development of the blood vessel system. The Louvi Lab focuses on CCM3 biology and recently discovered that a combination therapy of two approved drugs is effective in treating mice with CCM.
Illinois, Ohio, Michigan & Minnesota
Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center – Cincinnati Children’s is a recognized Angioma Alliance Clinical Center of Excellence. Under the direction of Dr. Sudhakar Vadivelu, the research program focuses on brain blood vessel development and associated signaling mechanisms.
Mayo Clinic – Under the direction of Dr. Kelly Flemming, the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN earned designation as a Clinical Center of Excellence in 2017. Dr. Flemming’s research team at the Mayo Clinic is interested in understanding better the natural course of CCM disease and how lesion behavior affects patients with this illness. This group is currently studying risks associated with bleeding, seizure, and pregnancy in individuals with CCM.
University of Chicago – Our first recognized Clinical Center of Excellence was designated at the University of Chicago under the direction of Dr. Issam Awad. Dr. Awad’s team is interested in understanding the role of the immune response and inflammation as they relate to CCM lesion development and progression. His group has developed advanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques to examine the effects of drug treatment on mice with CCM and to measure leakage (permeability) and iron deposits (a measure of blood leak or hemorrhage) in human patients. In the fall of 2018, Dr. Awad began enrolling participants in the first-ever clinical treatment trial for cavernous angioma hemorrhage.
University of Michigan - The blood vessels of the brain are unique because they form especially tight junctions between neighboring cells to ensure that the blood they carry does not leak into the brain. This unique junction is termed the blood-brain barrier. The Andjelkovic-Zochowska lab at the University of Michigan studies how CCM3 works to maintain the blood-brain barrier.
Arizona, California, New Mexico, Texas & Utah
Barrow Neurological Institute - BNI has teamed up with UNM, UCSF, and Angioma Alliance to run a genetic research project to investigate the causes of clinical variability between individuals with CCM. This project is part of the Brain Vascular Malformations Consortium and is described at length, HERE. Also under the direction of Dr. Zabramski is a study to investigate the effect of propranolol treatment prior to surgery on the DNA and RNA activity within CCM lesions.
Recursion Pharmaceuticals – Recursion Pharmaceuticals, a drug company out of Salt Lake City, has developed a high-throughput screening platform that utilizes artificial intelligence for drug discovery in rare diseases. As of November 2018, Recursion has begun Phase I safety trials on their new drug REC-994 (tempol).
Texas Tech University El Paso – Dr. Zhang’s lab studies angiogenesis, the process of blood vessel development and branching. CCM lesions are defective in angiogenesis and Dr. Zhang’s team aims to understand better the role each of the CCM proteins has in the regulation of typical angiogenesis.
The University of California at San Francisco – UCSF was recognized as a Clinical Center of Excellence in June of 2018. Dr. Kim leads the clinical research program focused on identifying clinical outcomes and modifiers to the natural disease progression. Her research is part of the Brain Vascular Malformations Consortium and is described at length, HERE.
The University of New Mexico – UNM was recognized as an Angioma Alliance Clinical Center of Excellence in April 2017. Dr. Zafar is the medical director and runs the university research portfolio on CCM. A primary focus of his research is to identify genetic or environmental factors that modify the disease course and cause variability within and between families. This project is part of the Brain Vascular Malformations Consortium and is described at length, HERE.
University of California San Diego – The Ginsberg and Lopez-Ramirez labs study vascular biology and investigating the molecules the bind blood vessel cells to one another and how these molecules are disrupted in the disease state. This work has resulted in identifying Thrombospondin1 as a possible therapeutic target for CCM.
The University of Utah - The research group at the University of Utah uses multiple systems, including mice, to investigate the molecular cause of leak from CCM lesions. This group was the first to discover that statin drugs may have a future use as a CCM treatment.
Universidade federal do Rio de Janero – Dr. Marcondes treats cavernous angioma patients, is actively involved in the Brazilian patient support organization, Cavernoma Alliance Brazil, and his research interests include studying patient-reported outcomes to determine the best course of treatment.
Centenary Institute – Dr. Zheng’s research team uses zebrafish and acute mouse models to study CCM lesion development and signaling. Dr. Gamble is head of the Vascular Biology Program at Centenary Institute. Her work with microRNAs intersects with CCM biology with possible therapeutic implications.
Samuel Lunenfeld Research Institute – The Gingras research group focuses on the protein level and investigates CCM by learning about its interacting partners. By uncovering with which other molecules the CCM proteins interact, these researchers are able to better understand the CCM proteins themselves.
Sick Kids Children’s Hospital - Both zebrafish and C.elegans (worm) models for CCM are being used here to investigate how the three genetic forms of CCM are similar to and different from one another. The Derry lab uses the power of worm genetics and rapid development to study CCM1 and CCM3 and how they are involved in tube formation, cell death, and reproductive cells. Worms are also a great tool for screening potential drugs. The Scott lab uses fish models to study cardiovascular development – CCM3 is a critical signaling molecule for cranial blood vessels.
First Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University – In a nationwide multi-site study, a Chinese team aims to enroll 2000 participants and track outcomes of those who receive surgical intervention compared to those who are following conservative management.
Ranger Biotechnologies – Ranger Biotechnologies is a drug company aimed at developing therapeutic products from short lengths of nucleotides (the building blocks of DNA). Their products are called Blockmirs. One Blockmir, CD5-2, targets blood vessels and is under investigation for the treatment of CCM and other illnesses.
INSERM – Grenoble - This French research team focuses its research on how blood vessels interact with extracellular matrix (surrounding tissue) to provide structure as wells as signals that are essential for proper growth, development, and directionality.
INSERM – Paris – Dr. Tournier-Lasserve is a medical geneticist and research group leader in developing animal models to better understand the pathogenesis and development process of the familial forms of CCM. Most recently her animal models were used in the discovery that indirubin-3-monoxime, may be therapeutic for CCM.

Applications are invited for up to four PhD studentships (available for study on either a full time or part time basis) in the Centre for Rural Policy Research within the College of Social Sciences and International Studies at the University of Exeter. We are looking for PhD proposals in any of the following areas or any other social science issue related to the changing role of agriculture and the countryside and relevant to the core research interests of the supervisors.
1. The debate on livestock agriculture
There are those who argue that meat and dairy consumption should be drastically cut or eliminated altogether because it is an inefficient way of feeding people, requiring disproportionate amounts of land and other inputs. This critique of dairy and livestock farming is reinforced by concerns over the health implications of meat in the human diet, the waste streams associated with meat production, and the role of methane as a greenhouse gas. Counter arguments have been put forwards suggesting that livestock production has a role because of the many grassland areas of the word are not suited to cultivation, and grazed systems may also help to lock up carbon and maintain biodiversity. Animals, it is argued, may also play a role in the consumption of crop residues and in rotational agriculture that is less dependent on artificial fertilizers.
Possible research questions:
a. Why and in what way is there disagreement about the place of meat and/or dairy products in contemporary diets?
b. What are the views of farmers on the ‘meat and/or dairy debate’?
c. How might farmers adapt their businesses in the light of concerns over meat and/or dairy?
d. To what extent might more sustainable livestock systems answer some of the concerns expressed by consumers and activists?
e. Are there differences between rural and urban consumers in their responses to the dairy/meat debate?
f. What are the implications of the dairy/meat debate to scientists working on these issues and/or to science policy?
2. The debate on productivity in UK agriculture
Poor productivity in UK farming has led to a major investment in agri-tech research and innovation in recent years. However this is not only a technological issue. There may be good business reasons why farmers have not adopted certain technologies or there may be barriers to change associated with social and policy factors. In the context of Brexit some of these policies are likely to change but the issues are deep rooted and there are some who argue that technology and production at scale are less important than a return to more locally responsive and ecologically sensitive styles of farming.
a. What are the causes of low productivity in UK agriculture?
b. To what extent are the agri-technological solutions on offer appropriate to UK agriculture?

Austin Dispatches
Last month’s ice storms put my life on ice. The mid-January freeze shut down the city, and cost me 20 billable hours.1
The operators of the new toll roads started charging on Jan. 6; rush-hour traffic was bumper to bumper, even though the roads were supposed to ease congestion.2 Then the ice storms hit and the toll roads were deserted.3 I spent my time outdoors picking and scraping inch-thick ice off my car, and my time indoors watching character actor Ray Sharkey imitate half my mannerisms on the DVDs of “Wiseguy,” a show I missed during its broadcast years.4
The H-E-B at Parmer Lane and MoPac Expressway experienced multiple leaks in the ceiling because of the weather.5 On the same visit, I found a 20 cent Dutch Euro piece. Top that, Dennis Lucey.
On the thaw of the 18th, the neighborhood trees discharged ice cubes worthy of a refrigerator icemaker.
After the thaw, I caught the flu that's going around. My condition’s improved to where my coughing is as shallow as Carl Milstead's reasoning.6 Under such circumstances, I haven’t felt like going out. Between the weather and the flu, I've been out at night only once since New Year’s Eve.
Then, I dined with some acquaintances. Unfortunately, after the meal ended around 11 p.m., I needed to crap in a clean, well-lighted place with a reliable source of toilet paper.7 Instead of carousing, I returned home. Since I also felt sleepy, I went to bed about 10 minutes before midnight. Naturally, what my co-workers imagined happened was better than reality.
Before that, I attended the Victorian Christmas street fair downtown, where I washed down a haunch of venison and spotted dick with a flagon of ale. In my post-prandial promenade past the high street shopkeepers, in my greatcoat, and ivory walking stick, I bestowed a ha’penny upon a bootblack.
“An’ a Merry Christmas to you, sir,” he uttered with gratitude, before dashing toward the nearest victualer.
Fortunately, this magnanimous bestowal made me late for the Arabic Christmas bazaar. By the time I arrived, emergency crews were hosing the viscera and shattered glass off the streets.8
The day after Christmas, I finally visited the new Ikea store in Round Rock. Much of the merchandise looked identical to that in The Container Store, only cheaper. However, I don’t know if I want to go to the trouble of transporting and assembling the furniture myself. Even Ikea’s in-store ads conceded that’s not as easy as it ought to be.9
Herb Tarlek’s Revenge
I haven’t even been able to shop much in stores, even to replace household items like clothes. When I was shopping, though, I noticed a lot of white shoes and belts for men. Is the Herb Tarlek look coming back?10
In movie news, I’m pleased to announce my family will be producing the sequel to that popular porcine character, “Babe: Pig in a Blanket.” The narrative tension results from an argument over what type of barbecue sauce to use.11
Meanwhile, the November issue of Five Magazine, a Southwestern arts magazine, reports on the increasing numbers of celebrities, living and dead, who have their names on wine bottles. For example, Bob Dylan has a wine label. That’s fitting, since his whole music career, such as it is, has been one long whine. The cabernets and chardonnays from Graceland Cellars go especially well with peanut butter-and-banana sandwiches, while the Jerry Garcia merlot requires approval from the DEA.12
In other media matters, I want to congratulate all of you for being named Time’s person of the year in its Dec. 25 edition. I always knew you were capable of great things.13 I don’t know if this happened to the rest of you, but when I picked up the issue, Time’s depiction of me in the reflective image on the cover was distorted. It reminded me of why I stopped reading Time regularly. My understanding of the world changed and Time’s coverage seemed increasingly erroneous.
Later, I received an unsolicited subscription form from Newsweek, offering a discounted price of $223. When I subscribed to Time, 15 years ago, I paid about $90 a year.
Austin Death Watch
The Nov. 28 Daily Texan ran a feature on North Austin, where I live, and quoted some expert as saying Austin is the Detroit of the information age.14 Detroit? I don’t like the comparison.15
Leslie, transvestite street bum, Austin celebrity, and frequent candidate for local public office, is now also the subject of dress-up refrigerator magnets.16
Austin-Bergstrom International Airport backed off on requiring English proficiency for its employees. I guess if you need help finding a bathroom or your luggage, you’re screwed. Welcome to Austin.17
Speaking of the airport, Councilwoman Jennifer Kim's attempt to get special treatment going through airport security has illuminated her Clintonista side that predominates these days. Ironically, Austin's ruling elite is using this to pummel her.18
County officials say parasitic infections caused the deaths of 63 birds on Congress Avenue in early January. Regular people in that part of town were happy to have them gone.19
InSite magazine reported many guest consider the Feb. 3 Carnaval Brasileiro as “a liberating practice where they are free to surrender established social and gender roles.”20 In other words, they made it sound like a grad school seminar in feminist bullshitology. No wonder I got sleepy the one year I attended.
Not all the local news is bad. Hick bloviator Molly Ivins finally died of cancer on Jan. 31, age 62. I saw Ivins once, a few years ago, in Whole Foods downtown, bossing around her black nurse like some plantation overseer. She combined latte socialist views with a yokel style that was stale back when Mark Twain used it. Ivins was no Twain. She was no Robert Anton Wilson, either, which is about the best that can be said of her.21 Ivins will be buried somewhere, as soon as the mourners can find a coffin big enough.22
I fixed the family recipe for my apartment complex’s Chili Cook-Off. Mine was one of the milder batches – one version used wasabi.23
Opal Devine’s has opened a third location at the Parmer Crossing shopping plaza.24 Across Parmer Lane, a Panda Express eatery has opened. I thought pandas were endangered. The Marquis at Walker’s Bluff apartment complex has been rechristened Chez Moi. It’s still the same vaguely Caribbean stucco apartment complex.25
A new local community paper, the North Austin Bee, began publishing in November.
On Jan. 18, KGSR-FM reported a traffic collision near Duval Road and the MoPac frontage road.
Political Leftovers
Two interesting twists from the otherwise dismal, dull, static results and implications from the establishment consensus in the 2006 elections:26 First, Reagan Democrat James Webb, winner of the U.S. Senate race in Virginia, could become the first libertarianistic Democrat at the federal level since his predecessor, Harry Flood Byrd Sr.27 On the other hand, another Democrat, Keith Ellison, is also the first Muslim elected to Congress.28 Worse, he’s from Minnesota, where all the women are veiled and there is no God but Allah.29 Try to avoid any flight he’s on, especially those nonstop to Washington.30
Presidential Pratfalls
Defeated President Gerald Ford finally died on Dec. 26 at age 93. He was the first president I remember.31 Fittingly, I learned of it while watching the first season of “Saturday Night Live” on DVD, with Chevy Chase stumbling about as Ford.32
Miss KT remembers him trying to eat a tamale with the husk still on during a visit to San Antonio.33 His clumsiness was grist for the topical comedy of the time. Ford himself wasn’t above exploiting this reputation for laughs.34 Even the failed assassination attempts against him were just so many yuks.35
He amused us well, this klutz.
Even as clown, Ford maintained a certain dignity. Unlike other White House occupants, Ford did not snort cocaine (Kennedy),36 screw molls or foreign spies (Kennedy again),37 berate underlings while sitting on the toilet (Lyndon Johnson),38 vomit on foreign leaders (Bush the Elder),39 receive a blowjob from an intern while conversing by phone with congressmen (Clinton),40 generally act like a Branson, Mo., lounge act (Clinton again),41 choke half to death on a pretzel (Bush the Lesser),42 or stumble off a stationary Segway (Bush the Lesser again).43
On the plus side, Ford refused to bail out New York City from its massive debts,44 and presided over the repeal of Franklin Roosevelt’s 1933 executive order that turned Americans into criminals for owning gold,45 and the end of the permanent state of emergency created by successive executive orders since 1933.46
On the other hand, he pardoned his criminal predecessor;47 tried to involve the United States in a post-colonial conflict among rival Marxist factions in Angola;48 approved the creation of the Federal Election Commission, which, among things, thwarts outside challenges to the establishment parties and routinely attempts to quash political speech, in defiance of repeated judicial rulings;49 and OK’d a Muslim government’s invasion, and subsequent slaughter of a Christian minority.50 (Nowadays, the latter set of achievements would just about qualify Ford for membership in the Libertarian Reform Caucus, but that's a rant for another issue.) Later, he made a cheesy appearance on “Dynasty.”51
Essentially, President Ford tried to split the difference between loyalty to “us,” the American people, and “them,” the proponents, minions and beneficiaries of the corporatist, managerial-therapeutic, warfare-welfare state that was on the defensive before, after and during his administration.52 Ford's straddle created an opening for Ronald Reagan to challenge him for the 1976 Republican nomination. Ultimately, Ford paid for his divided fealty with his job.53
Finally, I’m pleased to announce the recent births of my newest cousins, Lenna Marie and Julia Lynn.54

Statue of Aretha Franklin unveiled in Austin
By Anupika Khare | March 3, 2019
Artist Keith Brownlee standing near the statue of Aretha Franklin he created.
AV 72 Chicago welcomed Austin residents to be a part of another art installation along the Chicago Avenue corridor on Thursday, the last day of Black History Month.
A statue of Aretha Franklin was unveiled on 4922 W. Chicago; it was created by Austin artist Keith Brownlee. The event included performances by Windy Indie Violins and spoken word by B’Rael Ali.
This is Brownlee’s first project with a non-profit, and he “loved” being involved because the art installment is within his community.
“I like that the people of the community like it, and it is something for them … it’s something fun,” Brownlee said.
AV 72, a 2-year-old organization located in the Special Service Area (SSA), is working with Westside Health Authority to bring more economic development and artistic expression to Austin that represents the African-American culture.
“I wanted to create images where people from this community saw what inspired them, to recall a sense of cultural pride,” said Yemisi Dinkins, AV 72’s program director.
Dinkins said many in Austin are excited about changes the organization has brought in the last two years.
“We got a king on Chicago Avenue, and now it’s time for us to get a queen,” Quiwana Bell, chief operating officer of Westside Health Authority.
“This is historically an African-American community, and there is really no way that you can know that other than you seeing black folks walking around,” Bell said.
AV 72 Chicago and Westside Health Authority gave overviews of the initiatives they have underway to help young people launch their businesses on the same stretch of Chicago Avenue. Their programs include entrepreneurship classes, landscaping initiatives and supporting small businesses in the area.
So far, about 30 young people have participated in the entrepreneurship program.
Westside Health Authority also celebrated the newly formed Young Entrepreneurs of Tomorrow, as recently reported by AustinTalks; the young entrepreneurs are launching a mobile retail cooperative in Austin.
“AV 72 is working really hard to create opportunities on Chicago Avenue to create more businesses so that there is more to create beautification in the SSA fund,” said Vanessa Creightney Stokes, creative consultant for the AV 72.
Stokes said the beautification of Austin will encourage residents to come out on the streets, which in turn will help make the West Side bustling and lively.
Essie Martin, an Austin resident who is also founder of Black Workers Matter, said she has seen a big change since AV 72 Chicago started their work in the area.
“The crime rate has tremendously gone down because they are working with young people and having events like today to help people know their neighbors more,” Martin said.
Jamaica Grill, 44, a restaurant owner in the community, said AV 72 organizes block parties and other events that bring the neighborhood together. In the last 10 years he has not seen his community like how it is today – that’s a a sign of growth, he said.
“Beautifying and putting up new businesses on these blocks will help the members of community apply for jobs and have a positive influence on the younger people,” Grill said.
Dinkins said her vision is to develop a cultural chord that would run along the Chicago Avenue, where people will see a vision of themselves.
“Everything that will happen along the Chicago Avenue in the future would be a place to honor the history of black folks. Chicago Avenue is about giving honor and respect to history of black folks,” she said.
“We are not the first, but we are shouting the loudest about who we are and our appreciation of ourselves.”

Victory RR electric superbike unveiled, will race in the 2016 TT Zero
Categories: Electric Isle of Man TT News Victory vishwa Publish Date: 1:28 AM
The new Victory RR electric superbike boasts 174bhp and 240Nm of torque, while weighing 240kg. Should pack a pretty hefty punch! We won't be surprised if it wins the TT Zero this year
Victory Motorcycles have unveiled their all-new battery-powered electric superbike, the Victory RR, which will race at the Isle of Man TT this year. The bike, developed over the past year using data gathered during the 2015 TT Zero, will be ridden by William Dunlop. 'One way we continuously push ourselves in performance is through our Victory Racing initiatives. The Isle of Man TT is one of the most challenging motorcycle races in the world, so of course we have to be there,' says Alex Hultgren, Director of Marketing for Victory Motorcycles.
The Victory RR, which weighs 240 kilos, uses a hybrid chassis comprised of steel-tube trellis-type and composite monocoque sections. The bike is powered by a water-cooled Parker GVM 3-phase AC electric motor, which produces 130kW (174bhp) and 240Nm of torque. The motor gets its juice from a Brammo Power lithium-ion battery which has a voltage rating of 370+. The Victory RR rides on 17-inch wheels shod with 120/70 (front) and 200/60 (rear) Metzeler tyres.
The Victory RR is also supposed to act as a testbed for production-spec electric bikes, which Victory hope will be a part of their line-up in the not-too-distant future. 'Our electric Empulse RR race bike placed third on the podium in the TT Zero race last year, which we were thrilled with. Using the data we gathered on our laps of the TT course has helped us to develop a new battery module as well as improving the powertrain. We feel like we can return to the TT with more performance as well as being able to test this technology for our future products,' says Brian Wismann, Victory Racing's team manager.

A Combined List of Abbreviations
For this list, we have combined the five lists of the original Dictionary and the Supplement, namely:
Explanation of the principal contractions, Contractions used in Grein’s lexicon poeticum, Additional and altered references and Additional contractions.
The Original Explanation of References:
In the following list a want of uniformity may be noticed in the case of some of the contractions used. This is due partly to modifications of Dr. Bosworth’s forms, which it seemed convenient to make; partly to different conditions in respect to texts cited, which have been brought about while the work was in progress; some texts, that existed in MS. only, have been printed; of others, that were already printed, new editions have appeared, which were more convenient to refer to than were the old. Cross references are given below in these cases, Double references are given to passages cited from the poetry, to English editions and to Grein’s Bibliothek der Angelsächsischen Poesie; in the later the contractions used are those to be found in Grein’s Lexicon, and they are given together at the end of this list.
Where a reference to any citation consists of more than one part (e. g.' Bt. —; Fox —), the several parts are separated by a semi-colon: where after a citation several references are given, these are separated by a colon.
When consecutive citations are taken from the same work the full reference is given only with the first (e. g. Bt. is not repeated where consecutive citations are taken from Boethius; or if the reference be of one part, e.g. Nar.—, the Nar. is not repeated).
You may also refer to the original printed front- & back-matter.

Founded In New York City On December 12th 1981
EXPLORATORY? EXPERIMENTAL? (or just plain noise?)
Since forming in 1981 The Brain People have expanded on their combined roots which lay in Punk and Hardcore, Acid Rock, Latin, Dance, Jewish Folk and Funk to include Psychedelic, Electronic, Multi-Ethnic, Modern, Free Form Jazz, Acoustic Ballads, Dance and Lounge.
The Brain People are a band that works with extremes. An Anarchistic approach to creating music has always been the hallmark of the band. From the earliest years when the band used a combination of electric and electro-acoustic instruments to the later use of electronics of dance music, The Brain People always intend to disrupt, amuse and give a little personal twist to music.
Today, The Brain People work in tandem with random music generators and other machinery to induce other levels of sonic outburst. Leaving even more aspects of sound up to chance, the band usually ends up with several hours worth of material that is then scanned through and pieced together to form cohesive music. This man machine interface seems to be an almost nihilistic reaction to other people's tendency to lean on machines to make better or more polished music. Punk isn't a uniform for The Brain People, it's a reactive process to their surroundings.
PART ART PROJECT, PART BAND!

Monday Nights at the Ox
Most nights at the Lazy Ox Canteen, the seats are filled by folks of the non-Asian persuasion. So why are Monday nights any different?
Could it be "Half-off bottle night"? Combine that with happy hour (M-F, 5-7pm) and you just might have the ultimate bargain-seeker’s delight.
In general, the price for a full bottle of wine at the Ox is relatively affordable, with the selections very eclectic, from Argentine Malbecs to German Rieslings to Spanish Tempranillos, and everything in between.
It’s the food where things tend to get pricey. Keep in mind, the small plates are, well, small. Think izakaya or Asian-inspired tapas. Translation: don’t come here hungry. On second thought, hungry’s okay, just don’t come here starving.
An L.A. Times review said the Ox burger (comes with fries) is the best in town, but to be honest, if I want a burger, I'd rather hit Pete’s Café and Bar on 4th and Main or Café Metropol on 2nd (east of Alameda by R23) in the artist district.
Pete’s now has Mared Sous 8 on draft, and that’s a burger's best friend if you ask Ken Wada. Metropol has a Kobe-style burger, but opt for the sirloin instead, as it's both a better value and a bigger taste.
But where were we? Ah yes, Asian night, or rather, Monday nights at the Ox. Reservations are highly recommended on any night, but if they're fully booked for the night, the hostess hinted, "The bar is usually a good option around 6:30."
Oh, by the way, the half-off Monday special also includes beer bottles, I believe.

Rafu Community Page: Consultant to Help Community Address Regional Connector Concerns
As part of an effort to bring more content to the blog and to promote discussion of community events and updates, Gwen Muranaka of the Rafu Shimpo is graciously sharing content from the Rafu Community Page, published March 27, 2010. Look forward to more Community Page stories right here on the LT Blog!
Consultant to Help Community Address Regional Connector Concerns
Consultant Douglas Kim speaks on Tuesday with members of Nishi Hongwanji Buddhist Temple.
GWEN MURANAKA/Rafu Shimpo
Douglas Kim, a transportation and environmental planner with 25 years experience, has been hired as a consultant who will provide technical expertise to the LTCC and help assess the impacts of the proposed Regional Connector on Little Tokyo and recommend a set of mitigation measures that can protect the physical, social, and economic environment in the community.
He served for over ten years as the director of Regional Planning
for Metro and currently manages a consulting firm that provides
transit planning expertise to public agencies and local communities.
He will also work with the LTCC to ensure that a solid mitigation
monitoring plan is developed that ensures that needed mitigations are in
fact implemented in the future.
"I have a history of working with community groups to ensure that their interests are protected from those agencies that build these systems," Kim said at the LTCC meeting on Tuesday. "I've seen a lot of systems get built without a lot of community input and there's only so much a transit agency can do if they don't have the perspective of the people who live and work in the community."
Metro proposes a two-mile rail system that will connect its Gold, Blue, and Expo rail lines and allow passengers to travel throughout the region without transferring in downtown. It would include three stations in the downtown area between Little Tokyo and Bunker Hill.
The system could cost about $1.25 billion and be running by 2019, though some estimates show operations by 2025. $160 million was already approved in November 2008 through a sales tax increase.
In January 2009, Metro approved studying several alternatives, including a rail system at-grade and one partially underground. In response to community concerns about disruptions to Little Tokyo, Metro added another alternative in February 2010 that would run entirely underground through the area.
Among the issues Kim highlighted as community concerns include:
The community wants to ensure that the Fully Underground Alternative is selected as the solution, since the At-Grade and Partially Underground Alternatives have unacceptable impacts to Little Tokyo, such as noise, traffic, and visual impacts, particularly at First and Alameda.
However, the community insists that all environmental impacts from the Fully Underground Alternative be fully addressed.
This includes concerns about how the 3-4 year construction period could disrupt local businesses, tourism, and everyday life.
Major excavation and tunneling will occur in several locations to build stations, portals, and entrances. These "cut and cover" activities must minimize traffic, noise, air quality, and other impacts to nearby businesses and residents.
Long-term concerns include noise and vibration from the underground system, the design of new development at the Office Depot location where an underground station would be located, and the system's impact on the cultural and economic identity of Little Tokyo.
Kim will be holding meetings on April 22 at the Japanese American Cultural and Community Center at 4 p.m. for nonprofit organizations, churches and cultural groups; and 6 p.m. for residents to share their concerns regarding the Regional Connector. All are welcome to attend the meetings. A meeting for Little Tokyo businesses will be determined later.
For more information, contact Kim at douglaskim@verizon.net or (310) 316-2800.

Are We Puppets in a Wired World?
But while we were having fun, we happily and willingly helped to create the greatest surveillance system ever imagined, a web whose strings give governments and businesses countless threads to pull, which makes us…puppets. The free flow of information over the Internet (except in places where that flow is blocked), which serves us well, may serve others better. Whether this distinction turns out to matter may be the one piece of information the Internet cannot deliver.

Anti-abortion groups want Sen. Mark Udall to support limits on late-term abortions
By Lynn Bartels
Colorado Citizens for Life, Colorado Family Action, Cory Gardner, late-term abortion, Marilyn Musgrave, Mark Udall, Mike Norton, Susan B. Anthony List
UPDATED: The rally begins at noon, not 1 p.m. as previously reported.
Sen. Mark Udall has made women’s issues the cornerstone of his campaign, and on Tuesday several conservative anti-abortion groups are joining in, asking the Democrat in a tough re-election bid to support a bill limiting late-term abortions.
Former Rep. Marilyn Musgrave, now vice president of government affairs for the Susan B. Anthony List, will speak at a rally Tuesday at the state Capitol urging Sen. Mark Udall to support limiting late-term abortions (Lynn Bartels, The Denver Post)
A news conference scheduled for 1 p.m. noon at state Capitol is part of a multi-state “Summer of Life” campaign to bring awareness to the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, which would limit abortions after five months with some exceptions.
The measure passed the Republican-controlled House more than a year ago but, according to rally organizers, it has been stonewalled by the Democratic majority in the Senate. Udall has said he believes abortion decisions should be made by women.
Events are scheduled in swing states where Democrats face strong Republican challengers. Congressman Cory Gardner is trying to unseat Gardner.
Today’s speakers include former Congressman Marilyn Musgrave of Fort Morgan, vice president of government affairs for the Susan B. Anthony list, which works to elect pro-life candidates. Also speaking is Michael Norton, former Colorado U.S. attorney and husband of 2010 Senate candidate Jane Norton, with the Alliance Defending Freedom.
Rep. Cory Gardner, a Republican, and Sen. Mark Udall, a Democrat. (The Denver Post)
Musgave in an interview last month at the Western Conservative Summit said Colorado’s Senate race is competitive for a pro-life candidate.
“I hope that Cory Gardner will fight back on this phony war against women. The very first ad that Mark Udall did was attacking Cory Gardner on that issue,” Musgrave said. “I think it’s very incumbent for the swing voters in Colorado to know where Mark Udall stands on the life issue. Mark Udall would place no restrictions on abortion whatsoever, late-term abortions, sex-selection abortions.
“So who’s really extreme on this issue?”
Udall’s campaign believes Gardner is wrong on women’s issues.
“It’s no surprise that the biggest defenders of Todd Akin and Richard Mourdock, who both made national headlines for their crass and demeaning comments on rape, are parachuting into Colorado to help Congressman Gardner, who wrote a bill to make abortion a felony in cases of rape,” said Udall’s campaign spokeswoman, Kristin Lynch.
“Coloradans won’t be swayed by radical groups like the Susan B. Anthony List. Voters know that Mark respects women and trusts them to make the best decisions for themselves and their families.”
Akin, of Missouri, and Mourdock, of Indiana, were GOP Senate candidates whose comments on rape helped doom their campaigns.
“If it’s a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down,” Akin said.
“I think even when life begins in that horrible situation of rape, that it is something that God intended to happen,” Mourdock said.
The group sponsoring the rally is Students for Life, which makes no mention of Gardner on its website. Gardner voted for the bill limiting late-term abortions.
Democrats have had successes in recent years by accusing Republicans of waging a war on women, but the GOP is fighting back now, accusing their opponents of focusing on that issue at the expense of others, such as energy and the economy.
In a Quinnipiac University poll of Colorado voters in July, when offered four choices on abortion: 29 percent of Colorado voters say abortion should be legal in all cases; 35 percent say it should be legal in most cases; 22 percent say it should be illegal in most cases; and 10 percent say it should be illegal in all cases.
Other speakers at today’s rally are: Kristan Hawkins, Students for Life of America; Debra Chaves, Colorado Family Action; Lynn Grandon, Archdiocese of Denver; and Sarah Zagorski, Colorado Citizens for Life.

Mike Coffman airs first TV ad; touts record in appeal to women voters
Candidate Klingenschmitt claims Rep. Jared Polis wants to execute Christians
Colorado Citizens for Life executive director Sara Zagorski will also be speaking at the event. We have endorsed Cory Gardner for Senate.
His record is a stark contrast to Mark Udall, who has voted almost 80
times in support of abortion or abortion funding and who has repeatedly voted against
banning partial-birth abortions.

Will Sen. Udall publicly thank you for your endorsement?
Comment by RobertChase — August 26, 2014 @ 9:42 am
Most people are against late term abortions. Only the far-left kookoos support it.

How about infanticide, regularly practiced by island cultures, but only by far-left kookoo island cultures?

So is cannibalism. You want to have that here too?
100% false. Most people are for late term abortion and only the far right kookoos oppose it.
Comment by blockmccloud — August 26, 2014 @ 5:00 pm
Udall stands with the overwhelming majority of CO women who support abortion rights.
P.S. Moronic censors at the DP: here is my unobjectionable comment again — feel free to remove it again.
Udall would never restrict abortion to the early terms. He and the extremists on the left are close to pushing afterbirth abortions. They want people to have the “right” to abort their 1 year old child if they have some sort of birth defect, or for any other reason.
Based on that premise, perhaps it’s not too late to consider aborting Udall. It’s obvious there’s no worthwhile intelligent life in that fetus. Isn’t that all the excuse necessary to satisfy the left?
Comment by Coloradan_by_Choice — August 26, 2014 @ 12:42 pm
When will the radical far right stop trying to take rights away from women?
When will the radical left stop murdering children for their own jollies?
Abortion is a legal right supported by majority of Americans. When will the radical right stop thinking it’s ok to strip rights away from women?
Comment by blockmccloud — August 27, 2014 @ 6:47 am
So was slavery at one time. Are you suggesting that slaveholders were being stripped of rights in 1865?
Just think slavery is gone and about living men and women.
Abortion is not. Try to read up on it. Do not listen to radio or TV or some nut in church.
Comment by Jerry Dryer — August 27, 2014 @ 9:56 am
You need to read up on the fact that a fetus is a living human being.
These little people undergo surgery while still resident in the womb. Doctors don’t operate on dead people.
Comment by IndyThought — August 27, 2014 @ 8:18 pm
There is no inherent right to kill.
More nonsense.
Fully one-half of those babies Udall likes to kill are baby women. Has he ever seen a five-month fetus?
Comment by lissmth — August 26, 2014 @ 12:09 pm
Women abort about 15-20% of all fertilize eggs. Most never know because the egg doesn’t stick to the wall and if they do stick they are flushed out in a period.
Now doesn’t that make God if the biggest abortionist of all?
Comment by Jerry Dryer — August 26, 2014 @ 6:19 pm
Sorry my numbers are off. If you would read this it has the right numbers.
“However, there’s some serious problems with the logic of ensoulation at the point of conception — unless your God
is a real asshole. The CDC as well as the March of Dimes and several
fertility experts have conducted studies to see exactly how hard it is
to carry a pregnancy to term. In general, less than 70% of all
fertilized eggs will even implant into the mother’s womb causing
pregnancy to continue. From there, there is a 25-50% chance of aborting
before you even know you are pregnant. If, however, you make it to your
first month, your odds go up to 75% chance of carrying to term.”
http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Spontaneous_abortion_in_humans
Another stellar biological retort. You are really embarrassing yourself here.
Facts really hurt don’t they. Look it up yourself!
Now you rely on religion to create facts?
Not credible.
How many babies has Udall killed? Did you hear that he now wants to behead Christians too?
Comment by RobertChase — August 27, 2014 @ 9:29 pm
Wouldn’t surprise me. The far left hates christians. They would be cheering all the way to the guillotine.
Ha, ha, ha! Guillotining 1,000 top Fascists (Republicans) and Collaborationists (Democrats) would have a most salutary effect on the Republic, but 100,000 but would be much better.
I have no doubt that the real fascists (liberals/progs) would be all for that….
Dead set against progress, aren’t you?
Abortion at any time for any reason is the GOLD STANDARD for the Democrat Party. Not a CHANCE of Udall voting for ANY limits.

God not only endorses abortion he gave a recipe for abortion in the bible. Get over yourselves radical righties, you have no right to control another person’s body.
Comment by Sal M O'nella — August 26, 2014 @ 12:30 pm
Since when do you believe in god? So sad that not killing babies is considered extreme.
Comment by less free — August 26, 2014 @ 1:29 pm
I am agnostic, I neither believe that god exist or does not exist. Just using the religious arguments against those who like to use them to justify their hate toward women. And the correct terms would be either embryo or fetus, depending on the stage of development. It becomes a child when it is born, takes it’s first breath. Do you call your sperm babies?
Comment by Sal M O'nella — August 26, 2014 @ 1:34 pm
Whatever keeps the guilt away… Who is saying they hate women? Nobody. Hating when they kill babies for sure. A lot of liberals might call it lunch.
I see you are still refusing to see science as science. So how many babies did you kill last night when you were watching that porn?
I’ll respond to that disgusting comment with… I don’t know. Ask your sister.
Comment by fthechildren — August 26, 2014 @ 4:02 pm
A sperm is not a human being. An unfertilized egg is not a human being.
An embryo and a fetus is a living human being.
Biology 101.
Talk about the anti-science crowd. Geez….
Yes, we see that with every bastard born of another pathetic human being. And now they are everywhere. You call them our future, I call them our problem!
But isn’t the mother controlling someone else’s body when she murders the child? Duh….
No, she’s controlling her own body. Women don’t want older white men telling them what they can or can’t do with their own bodies.
Her own body that has another separate, individual body within it.
No, she is ending the life of a distinct human being.
When planned that amounts to pre-meditated murder.
So there’s no need to amend the laws; according to you, a planned abortion could be prosecuted as first-degree murder. All you need to do is persuade prosecutors of the validity of your position, and away you go!
What gives anyone a right to control the body of a yet-to-be-born human being and kill it?
Calling elective late-term abortions part of a War on Women is odd; isn’t it actually a War on Babies?
Comment by pabloat8000 — August 26, 2014 @ 12:33 pm
So abortion has been around scene 3000-2500 BC and not one word saying it’s wrong in the Bible. How many women where stoned to death back then that were pregnant?
This is just BS made up to control women.
The right jumps up and down about abortion but as soon as it is born they just as soon let it die from lack of food or medical care.
Abortion is up to a women and her God. No one else.
Blah blah blah, the bible, blah blah blah control women, blah blah blah Can the same be said for every other type of murder?
Murder of what? A zygote?
Man, did you even take basic biology?
I did you should look things up before you look foolish.
“After a female egg is fertilized, the resulting one-celled organism
becomes known as a zygote. Once this has occured, the zygote begins a
two-week period of rapid cell division and will eventually become an
embryo. The zygote divides through a process known as mitosis, in which
each cell doubles by dividing into two cells. This two-week stage is
known as the germinal period of development and covers the time of conception to the implantation of the embryo in the uterus.
http://psychology.about.com/od/zindex/g/def_zygote.htm
The zygote stage lasts less than a day. After that the embryo stage yields a fetus, a living human being.
Why are you trying so hard to de-humanize life?
“a fetus, a living human being” — ridiculous! You may not have picked up on it, but the Right’s determined effort to substitute “unborn baby” for “fetus” failed some considerable time ago.
You are confused and conflating a legal definition with a biological fact.
Stop the propaganda.
Again you confuse and conflate a legal definition with a medical fact.
You just don’t get it.
So he can sleep at night knowing he condones murdering innocent children.
A very very small percentage of the abortions done in the US.
Dr. Gosnell would not have walked a zygote to the bus stop.
The Grand Conspiracy.
If abortion did not kill human beings, you might’ve had a point.
It never ceases to amaze me how the Republican party can thump the bible when it comes to abortion yet cut funding for children that are already here! So…if you are going to tell a woman she must give birth then it would seem to me Republicans should also be ready to “pony up” and help raise the children they insist be born. After all it takes a village…….
Comment by Diane Madison — August 26, 2014 @ 2:56 pm
Ummmm, once again your limited liberal mind is failing you. Rs are pro life. We are not pro bastard! Understand?
Funding for children? I thought the parents are supposed to fund their children?
Lynn — please go on a diet! Ew…
The democrats seem to be confused and having a double standard problem. Hickenlooper, wants to give clemency to a murderer, Dunlap, because he doesn’t believe in the death penalty, yet many liberal/left democrats believe it’s okay to assign the death penalty via aborting infants.
Comment by garmet — August 26, 2014 @ 4:37 pm
The same is true for republicans, they don’t want to kill a zygote but they have no problems at killing fully formed human beings and they just love their guns
Comment by Ben Cook — August 27, 2014 @ 10:44 am
Absolutely stupid post.
Comment by Sumzero — August 27, 2014 @ 4:43 pm
That in a nutshell is the hypocrisy of the left.
I suppose if I was a pregnant woman and found out, late term, that my baby had SERIOUS birth defects that would cause a painful, brief and expensive existence for the poor little baby, I’d consider a late term abortion.
Extremist Marilyn Musgrave wants to take the option of that personal decision away from women and their families. Is Marilyn going to step up and pay for the expensive medical treatment to try to keep a baby alive–a baby that had no chance anyway?
Comment by theregoi — August 27, 2014 @ 8:46 am
Simple, NO. Once born she just doesn’t care anymore.
Wrong. Musgrave and other pro-life supporters care about human beings at all stages of their life, wanting them to succeed and be an contributor to our society.
Your accusation is an empty unproven slur on her.
Do you understand that some babies are born with such deformities that they will not live beyond a few years, and all that time they’ll be hooked up to machines, needing surgeries and expensive medications? Meanwhile the parents are heartsick and probably financially drained while enduring seeing their baby suffer through this, only to inevitably die.
And you want them to have a chance to succeed and contribute to society?? Why don’t you think a little about if that makes any sense and then get back to me.
You are making an argument for eugenics.
Many people consider the practice abhorrent an unethical.
You are advocating eugenics in a politically-correct form.
Why should real Democrats ever cave into republican demands, it’s not like the republicans are ever going to vote for a Democrat anyway.
Colorado is about one-third Independent/Not Affiliated.
Comment by a420bowlkilla — August 27, 2014 @ 9:34 pm
Unaffiliated voters are a larger group (36% of all registered voters as of Aug. 1) than both the Fascist (Republican) Party (32%) and the Collaborationist (Democratic) Party (31%). All minor parties combined account for barely more than 1% of voters.
Comment by RobertChase — August 28, 2014 @ 12:00 am
This would be an eminently reasonable position to take, but Udall has to answer to his far left constituency and claim he supports abortion on demand – for any reason, at any time.
He will continue to prove that he does not wish to protect the weakest among us.

2019 in review: Our most popular posts
Zubedah Robinson
Pabsy Pabalan
What do solar panels, biodiversity, Nobel Prize winners and world population have in common? In 2019 these were some of the topics that generated the most interest by you on our social media channels.
In general, it appears that the overall themes you engaged with the most were around human development. It’s also clear that when we post content that reflects the times we are living in and the challenges that we are facing in global development, you are even more engaged. This inspires us to work even harder towards alleviating poverty. As we move into 2020, what are some of the topics you would like to see more of? Let us know in the comments section below!
LinkedIn continues to rise as an intellectual development conversation hub
LinkedIn has been one of our fastest growing and most engaging channels. But despite that track record, we were surprised to see how many of you participated in the fun interactive quiz we created as a way to test your development knowledge during the Annual Meetings. Typically, LinkedIn users gravitate towards competitions, job postings, contests, Massive Open Online Course (MOOCs), publications and reports, or general educational content. So, when we shared the post below to find out how many of you rate yourselves as geniuses when it comes to development, we were encouraged to see over 300 of you engage with it and some even left comments on their user experience. For instance, Jesse Nyokabo shared his score, saying: 8/9 Looking forward to making an impact. Jesse, we are glad to know that our quiz inspired you! Did you miss the quiz? See the post below and find out what your score will be!
In one way or another, we are all trying to deal with today’s critical economic challenges. This year, Nobel Prize winners Abhijit Banerjee and Esther Duflo gave us hope in their new book “Good Economics for Hard Times," which discusses cutting-edge research in development economics. We posted about the successful book launch on LinkedIn and we received over 900 of your reactions including several comments such as Nancy Wiggins who said, Thank you for your excellent and timely research. You too have a chance to see the book launch event replay and share your comments, below.
Twitter remains pithy but reflective of the times
We all know that no country, community, or economy can achieve its potential or meet the challenges of the 21st century without the full and equal participation of women and men, girls and boys. Why then does employment sex segregation still exist? We asked this question on our Twitter channel and judging from the 497 retweets and 8,700 likes of the post, it was good to know that you too agree that gender equality is good for development.
Why does employment sex segregation still exist? The problem stems from a multitude of reasons that can be grouped into three buckets:
Labor supply
Labor demand
Legal and policy environments

It’s no secret that education, and the human capital it creates, delivers large, consistent returns. It also reduces inequality, drives long-term economic growth and spurs innovation. Earlier this year, when we posted how countries that took education seriously, have accelerated development and prosperity, you strongly agreed with over 700 retweets and 6,900 likes. Phelisters Wegesa replied to the tweet and said, Thanks quoting World Bank’s Vice President for Human Development Annette Dixon’s statement which said: 'Youth deserve to be equipped with the skills they need to thrive in an increasingly demanding and uncertain job world. Today’s students will be tomorrow’s citizens and leaders, a good relevant education is essential to turn aspirations into reality.” See more of your reactions:
Countries that have accelerated development & prosperity all share one common characteristic --- they took #education seriously and invested appropriately: https://t.co/Qs8yWEhyJU #InvestInPeople #EducationDay pic.twitter.com/lgCVkbOls4

Our Facebook commentary becomes more meaningful
In April this year, World Bank Group’s President David Malpass went on his first trip to Africa and shared his reflections with us. We posted about his trip to Madagascar, Mozambique, Ethiopia and Egypt on our Facebook page and received an overwhelmingly positive response from many of you. Your support (in over 9000 likes, 79 comments and 72 shares) for the President’s message on achieving good development outcomes from country level programs is well acknowledged, and if you missed the post, here it is again:
Did you know that the world’s population will continue to grow and will reach nearly 10 billion by 2050? When we shared this informative post on Facebook, a lot of you, in fact, 6,500 of you liked it, 979 of you shared it, while 249 of you responded constructively. For instance, Daniel Tirado wrote in the comments: Africa is going to have the most mega cities in the future. And you are right Daniel, Africa is the youngest continent in the world and it’s where we are seeing some of the population explosion. See the rest of the growth trends.
Instagram was all about trying new things
Video is the future of Instagram and early this year, we jumped on IGTV. Our first IGTV video was about Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) in Morocco. Instagrammer @see.n.c.m.see said “Innovation is limitless and it's encouraging to see how to utilize resources like a desert. I would love to watch more videos on innovations on climate action, like water harvesting, especially in dry arid areas.” The 53,000 views and 143 comments reflect your collective interest on innovation, technology and effort to bring clean and reliable energy to those who need it most. View full post here.
Screen grabs from an IGTV post about Concentraing Solar Power (CSP) in Morocco.
We also tried to mix things up on our posts. On Biodiversity Day, our 15-second video of a family of elephants caught your attention. It got over 20,000 views, 160 shares and 156 saves. @luksiktech said “...humans should also consider how to live with wildlife while developing their cities.” And we agree! It is not just an issue for wildlife but also the security of people living near protected areas. The Global Wildlife Program (GWP) is working with governments to improve protected area management and reduce human wildlife conflict. Your responses to this post are reassuring that we can work together to save these beautiful animals from extinction.
Instagram post showing a video of a family of elephants.
We also posted more infographic-style images about our data and other information on development topics you care about. These two posts combined have 817 shares, 1,505 saves, and 181 comments. We’ll make sure that we create more posts like these that serve as a good resource to add to your Instagram Collection. View them in detail here and here.

Did you know that we have our own Instagram stickers? A good number of you do! During our Annual and Spring Meetings, we wanted to draw attention to important themes we we’re highlighting for the year such as Investing in Human Capital, Global Economy and Climate Change. You viewed our stickers over 100,000 times. You can use them any time of the year on your Instagram Stories. Just type “endpoverty” or “worldbank” in the search tab of IG stories to find them.
For next year, we’ll try Instagram’s new features to create more dynamic posts and continue to engage with you on this growing platform.
World Bank stickers on Instagram Stories – Urgency, Inclusion and Sustainability
YouTube was our platform for in-depth discussions and storytelling
World Bank’s YouTube Silver Award for hitting 100,000 Subscribers.
Video is a powerful tool to support our passions and inspire us to have positive social impact in our communities. When we reached 100,000 subscribers, we further realized the unprecedented potential to engage a wider a community on YouTube for social positive change and amplify the voices of people in the countries we empower.
This year, our top videos came from a 24-hour live program featuring economists talking about global development and solutions to pressing challenges for each region. It seemed impossible but when hundreds of you expressed your excitement about the initiative, what was left was to put the hypothesis to work. And it did! You engaged with these two videos from our regions the most, getting over 15,000 hours of watch time.
For 2020, we look forward to bringing you more serial content and live-streamed events, as well as collaborating with YouTube’s Creators for Change.

Manny Ramirez

Manny Ramirez - 10/17/07 07:56 AM
Why isn't Manny Ramirez receiving fastballs under his chin? I watched Ramirez launch a homer last night, stand in the batters box, walk about 10 steps down to first base, admiring his shot as if he just hit a walk off homer in game 7. Someone needs to remind him, him only made the score 7-3 Indians.
If I'm the Indians manager, I've already instructed my pitcher to through Mannys first pitch, chin level.

1) It's Manny being Manny
2) It's the playoffs... Why risk a suspension or a manager getting ejected in the game? It would easily start a brawl if it happened, so just a bad idea.
3) It's Manny.

Congratulations jdavis. As much as I haven't ever gotten into with you, I want you to know that you have converted me into a hater of the Sox as well. And it has nothing to do with them as a team. It's the fans.
I know you think you eat, bleed, and sleep Red Sox. And you may. But you need to know that you phrase things in such a way that is only irritating. And yes, maybe that is what made me respond to this, but I can imagine that your propensity to seemingly spout of every thought in your head is going to cause more waves for you than not, especially on your choice of career paths. I could be completely off base, but whatever. Good luck. With such a one-dimensional vision of sports, I think you are going to need it.
For the record, line item #2 made sense. #1 and #3, either homer crap that I think you felt compelled to write, or you've watched ESPN too much, b/c that sounded like typical Bristol cliche.

Dumb idea. You can't risk getting someone suspended that is valuable to the team. If Manny wants to admire his shot that make the score 7-3, maybe he's just worrying about his stats instead of the team. Makes sense, since CoCo is his little bitch out in Center Field.
I wasn't being serious... But that's how the Boston media justifies it.
See, you're too concerned to bash me to understand sarcasm.
As far as I'm concerned, Manny can do what he wants as he long as he produces. He has 24 (23?) postseason homeruns, which is a record.
He's still a Hall of Famer....

The Indian players should have pointed to the score board as he rounded the bases.
For crying out loud, just throw the ball inside. It's not Manny being Manny, it's Manny being a show boating a-hole. I guess maybe that is Manny.
Manny, you made it 7-3.
They're way too classy to do that. Plus they have too much respect for the guy because he's a former teammate.
I think that's part of it, too. That he's "sticking it to the Indians" for not resigning him. He may be still angry at them... You never know.
Manny does things that are wrong, but doesn't understand they're wrong. Should he have watched it? Maybe, should he have thrown his hands up in the air and watched it? No.
But I have to say my fav. pic of the playoffs so far is his walk off in game 2 and his hands are in the air along with everyone at Fenway...
The Indians aren't going to waste 30% of their money on one player. Especially one that refuses to play defense.

In the field, Manny Ramirez reminds me of a Lonnie Smith with Multiple Sclerosis and 250 lbs of extra weight.
Its just pathetic that a ball can be hit to his side of the gap and he lets it go by and CoCo fields it 5 feet behind him and throws it in. It's just plain laziness!
A picture is worth a thousand words. Manny is a Mike Vick fan? I happen to like Manny because he has personality. I do not like him when he acts like an ass. Last night he acted like an ass.
I hope he's not a Vick fan anymore...
Who cares if the guy acts like an ass? They're stil down 3-1 and he just looked dumb, but he's one of the best, if not the best hitter in post-season history.
I'm glad I'm done coaching little league baseball, I don't think I would have had the patience trying to convince kids to not act like Manny.
Trust me it's not that hard. I helped coach a little league team that was 1 win away from making it into regions for the LLWS. These kids love the game and watch it all the time. Of course they want to mimic their favorite players, but they know when and how to celebrate.

If by "teammate" you mean Kenny Lofton then, uhhh...ok. In 2000 Manny's only "teammate" from this current team was Lofton so NONE of these current players give a squat about Manny and the Cleveland connection.
Manny should of had his chin removed along with a "get well" tattoo of Bud Selig's name right on the tip. I like the dude cause he is madd clutch but come on Predator, your down 7-3. Maybe the 3 hr's in a row had him juiced up, i dont know.
It's funny to see chowda'fan blow this off like Carl Spackler and say "it's no big deal", grab a Baby Ruth and enjoy. The chowd's have officially become like most Yankeefans.
Welcome, my little bundle of chowd's.
Go give yourself a curtain call JHAWKx
"Manny should of had his chin removed along with a "get well" tattoo of Bud Selig's name right on the tip. I like the dude cause he is madd clutch but come on Predator, your down 7-3. Maybe the 3 hr's in a row had him juiced up, i dont know."
What is hitting him going to do honestly? All its going to do is piss him off, cause an ejection that could hurt the team during the WS if they make it. It's just going to make him want to celebrate more when he hits the next one off of them.
And might have caused him to be angry enough to hit one again....
Also, starting a brawl versus the Red Sox when the Sox have looked dead since the 5th inning of game two isn't going to be exactly good. It could light a spark that leads to a 4 run rally in the following innings...
Fueling a barely kindling flame to the point of a blaze wasn't going to help the Indians win that game and/or the series.
I played catcher for my HS Legion team since I was in 8th grade and I only told the pitcher to throw at the batter twice. Once because the kid hit me right in the helmet and the other time was because the kid was bitching about every call during the game. I just don't see the point in it. It's not very sportsmanlike and I regret throwing the middle finger down telling my 90 mph only fastball pitcher to bean the kid.
You act like if he gets pissed that he's gonna go Balboa v. Drago all over again. Whatever, so be it.
Thanks, I shall.
Must anger be your tool to prevail?
Welcome o'chowd's, welcome!
Re: Manny Ramirez - 10/17/07 01:25 PM
No, just look at the 2004 Red Sox..the brawl sparked their season.
Oh, how the chowd's fire is so shallow.
How do you really know? It could of been Manny's fart in the 8th inning of that game that "blew" the doors down.
Sing it with me...."Sweeeeeeet chowdofmine" OhOHOHOHOHOH!!!!
Ball, meet Manny's ear, Manny's ear, meet ball.

I love your reasoning, davis.
Hey, don't worry guys. Hitler was just being Hitler. It's fine.
Yeah because Manny is trying to exterminate a race...
Never said he was, douche.
I really like it when the word douche is used in this context. Nice work hasbeen.
Laugh it up BW
If you are trying to hurt me with that, not gonna work. I've already admitted to that. Try coming up with some thought of your own, though, really.
My guess is that you really can't, though, b/c you truly do lack social interaction skills.
Well that's a relief to know.

I found this thread late, but here's my two cents anyway...
All of the Manny-bashing strikes me as people finding an excuse to bitch, probably because they just don't like the guy. Manny Ramirez is not the first, nor will he be the last, baseball player to admire one of his home runs. Ken Griffey Jr., one of the more admired and revered baseball players ever, has strutted and watched every single home run he's ever hit, even when he sucked after moving to Cincy. The highly-praised, plucky, post-season machine known as Kenny Lofton ostentatiously flips his bat down after every WALK for God's sake.
Was it a strange situation for Manny to stop and admire his work? Absolutely. But, as everyone with a brain knows, Manny IS strange. And I don't mean quirky, "Manny Being Manny" HaHa strange, I mean STRANGE. He drives around in a '72 Caddy with uncashed $100,000 paychecks in the glove compartment. He has two sons both named Manny Jr. This is not a normal person.
If you don't like Manny, for any number of reasons, and choose to rag on his home run styling, be my guest. But then be consistent and call out every player who does something similar. Advocate a fastball to Lofton's dome sometime if that's your chosen brand of baseball justice.
This thread isnt about Lofton or Griffey Jr., it's about Manuel Ramirez. And what he did in that game was down right dumb, not "strange" but dumb. Youkilis ran the bases. Ortiz ran the bases. And the Manny being Manny reference is about as stupid as the Ruth curse. Like he should get a special pass for doing foolish things.
Something else interesting I saw this morning. On Mike and Mike in the Morning manny was quoted saying, "losing the ALCS wouldn't be the end of the world." Watch out for this stuff through out the day on ESPN/ESPNews. Sean Salisbury told a quick story that made Manny sound like he was actually decent. Manny met him and his son a couple of years ago I believe he said. About a year or even more later, Manny ran over, YES RAN over to Sean and his son at another game and actually remembered his son's name. Just kind of made Manny look good.
If Ken Griffey Jr. were playing the other night and flipped his bat and walked to first base, then yes, I would have started this thread ragging on him. But it wasn't Griffey, it was Manny being stupid.
Do you think pitchers like Bob Gibson or Don Drysdale would have put up with that garbage? They would have had Ramirez on his a$$ at the first opportunity. Something you don't see very often from the pu$$ies that try to pass themselves off as pitchers today.
This Manny being Manny is garbage, I couldn't care less how wierd he is off the field, just keep it off the field.
Posted by: Zhawk06
He's a former teammate of Kenny Lofton's...and that's it.
The great Manny Ramirez has spoken. And in Manny's World, it doesn't really matter much if the Red Sox rebound to win the AL Championship Series. "If it doesn't happen, who cares?" Ramirez said yesterday at Jacobs Field, breaking his usual silence around reporters. "There's always next year. It's not like it's the end of the world."
It is the "who cares"? quote that makes me feel Manny is a moron. Once again, I like the guy but he is about as sharp as a marble most of the time.
Who cares? How about the Red Sox fans? I suppose they haven't shown you they care?
Yes, I posted this already...
And people wonder why I just can't bring myself to care about baseball anymore. I was raised on guys like George Brett. This is what passes for a star these days.
Posted by: chiknbut
I agree with Manny, "who cares."
Who cares if the Red Sox come back and win the series. Who cares if he wants to admire his home run and show boat. But payback is a bitch. "Who cares" if you get plunked in the ass for being a showboat.
The best reasons, in order, to enjoy this world series are as follows:
1. Colorado Rockies (THE baseball story of the past decade).
2. No Yankees.
3. No Red Sox.
If Manny and the Red Sox were in the World Series, I wouldn't watch it. Even if I was pulling for the Rockies. Manny does not make the game fun. He brings us much sportsmanship to the game as any soccer player brings to their lame sport.
And as for the Indians fans being classy, sorry. While I like this Indians team, it's hard to like their fans. These are the same people who boo Jim Thome when he comes to the Jake.

And I find it interesting people come in here bashing the Red Sox after they hadn't posted in the baseball board all year.
Come on....really.
I don't give a fig about baseball.
Yankees beat Red Sox. That's all.

Well I have been posting on Bball board all season AND bashing the BoSox and Yankees from spring training on (especailly with all the DiceK overhype and ummm told you he was overrated for the $ he is getting) Anyhow, by your standard I guess I qualify as a guy who has been here the whole season so here is the deal.....BoSox are cooked and thank god for it. See you next year Manny and Company. GO ROCKIES AND INDIANS!

http://www.boston.com/sports/baseball/redsox/playoffs04/1986_playoffs/alcs_game5/
Yeah thanks for the roster from 2004 and 1986. Not sure what it proves but I am pretty sure Dave Henderson is not filling in for an injured Tony Armas to save you this year. BoSox are done...put a fork in'em
Well I have been posting on Bball board all season AND bashing the BoSox and Yankees from spring training on (especailly with all the DiceK overhype and ummm told you he was overrated for the $ he is getting)...
Look, if you're going to bash the Sox, feel free. And if you want to smack down Dice-K for his mediocre performance, rock on. But would you freakin' STOP with the "he's overpaid" bullsh!t? We've been over this. Dice-K, as a whole, was a league average American League starting pitcher. He makes roughly $6.5 million, which is, shocker, just about league average for a starting pitcher. Ergo, he is NOT overpaid. And no, the $50+ million fee the Red Sox paid his old Japanese team does NOT count, not only because Dice-K didn't receive one thin dime of that money, but also because the Red Sox have already more than made that money back in advertising, merchandising and television rights fees in Japan. Blast him for being overhyped all you want, but harping that you think the guy is overpaid does nothing but trumpet your ignorance to the world.
Is the emergence of the Rockies a bigger story than the Red Sox finally winning it all a couple of years ago? I'll go with the Rockies, if they win the WS.
As a one year story, probably. In a historical context, no. And if the Cubs finally win next year, on the 100 year anniversary of their last title, it trumps both of them.
I doubt it, Rockies World Series doesn't get as much ratings as a Red Sox-Cardinals World Series. Sorry.
Rockies are a great team, but the "curse" story was a big media draw. Anyone will tell you ratings matter to MLB.
Will I be happy if the Rockies win the World Series over the Indians? Of course, because they deserve to win it after that season and it proves everyones theory wrong that the Rockies could never win in their environment.
Now, I will root for the Red Sox over the Rockies. But if it goes 7 games and the Rockies win, will I be angry? No. It just means they are a better team right now. They proved to me in the WS playoff game that they have heart. Something I respect in all teams (except k-state, mizzou and yankees of course).
I'll be happier if the Sox win of course, but I won't be disappointed if the Rockies take it all.
And if the Indians take it, it just means parody in baseball is getting even better, which is awesome.
Couldn't say it any better.
I agree with you, but t.v. ratings have nothing to do with it. Personally, I could care less what Joe Blow on the East coast has his channel turned to.
Sure they do.... No one is going to say "Oh, remember that time the Rockies and Royals were in the World Series.", but they're going to say "Remember that time the Yankees played the Dodgers in the World Series."
It's just how things go.
Manny gets a double.
And he had a homerun and it wasn't counted...
Posted by: jaihaux
Actually, Manny had a single on a ball that hit the top of the wall in right center field. It hit the top of the yellow line.
What a lazy piece of crap.
It's a homerun
Even if it was (I don't think it went over the yellow line) what the hell was he doing only at first base?
Apparently admiring the view.
Tool.
Okay, where's the b!itching about Lofton's bush league bat flip on what he thought was ball four? I called it - the dude's been making that move and annoying pitchers for years. Glad to see Beckett call him out on it.
Posted by: Merg311
He was on first base...looks like a single to me.
Just because more t.v. sets see something doesn't mean it is a better story. If history records it, people will research it, and realize this was a great story.
Think of all the great stories that happened before events were televised. Many of the greatest stories ever told happened before the boob tube.
Was in intentional? I ask because he immediately reached down to pick it up like he dropped it, but who knows?
And why would Beckett be pissed? Heading to first before ball four is called is showing up the umpire, not the pitcher.
There's history of him doing it before to Beckett....
Beckett's adrenaline gets pumping good, he takes it offensively, shouts at him...simply as that. Whether it's completely intentional or not by Lofton..doesn't mean much..
Last night was a perfect all around example of why MOST MLB players are a bunch of primma donna assholes. Makes me not want to watch the W.S..
By the way jdavis - The demise of the 2007 Red Sox was greatly exagerated by me. My apologies to you and the Red Sox.
Posted by: KURUSH1530
I can already make the statement that this year's world series ratings will be higher than any in the past 10 years. The Rockies have gained quite a few fans around the nation that wouldn't think about watching baseball. Just because of their story. I think the Red Sox would be better off with two DH's,considering that's what Manny is, and leaving Manny off the field..just have Coco play in between left and center field. How many DH's have made the hall of fame? Well, apparently the Red Sox have two that will be going in after there career's are finished. The Indians may have lost the ALCS last night unless Carmona can come up big in Boston. I really don't think it'll happen and we'll see the Rockies and Red Sox in the Series.
KURUSH1530 - I wouldn't bet on it that "this year's world series ratings will be higher than any in the past 10 years". I will admit the ratings shares the last ten years have sucked and it is possible but I am saying I wouldn't bet on it.
It's not heading to first early, it's the bat flip. He does it EVERY time he walks. Batters flipping their bat away after a homer hacks off the pitcher because they think of it as showing him up. Lofton is the ONLY guy who does the same thing on a walk, and I can see why that pisses off pitchers too.
You know Manny had the most outfield assists by any major leaguer a few years ago right?
Manny fields, and the people who play with him respect his play.
Posted by: HawkLaw
It's not a homerun per Jacob's Field ground rules.
By the way, I'm a fan of Manny. The man just loves to play baseball, he doesn't care about anything else but lacing up the cleats and getting on the field. Players around the league even know that. A good majority of players around the league understand that as well. Manny is definitely the only person in the league who could get away with watching a homerun like he does.
1) Lofton pulled this crap in 2005 on a walk
2) Schilling should ask the HoF for the bloody sock OR
3) Draw some blood and splash it on his new socks
Another Schilling Game 6 start...I expect brilliance.
I love seeing pitchers retaliate for being shown up. You could argue why doesn't he "just strike the guy out next time." Even a dominant pitcher like Beckett can't strike somebody out on a whim. Just hit the guy to give him a reminder of your memory as a pitcher. But always hit in the back or the ass/thigh, throwing at somebody's head intentionally is cowardly.
I expect Roger Clemens. The 2007 version.
Lofton didn't pull "this crap" in 2005. Lofton does this for every walk he receives. As much as I am in favor of pitcher retaliation. I do believe Beckett, as pumped as he was [he threw a brilliant game], did overreact on the Lofton bat-flip. Seriously, a walk is a free base, he has to put his bat somewhere. Might as well put it on homeplate with his leg guard so the bat boy can collect it.
Haha...Roger Clemens is a POS. I lost all respect for the man when he started acting like a baseball diva. I have no problem with not travelling with your team in between outings, but damnit go to spring training, work out with your team, be there for opening day, and earn your full check.
Sorry but Schilling ins't injured... he's as healthy as he was in 2001.
His bat flip is stupid...
I guess I could add to my above post...Clemens is a POS and Schilling is a gamer.
Lofton...different people have different mannerisms. I was impressed with Beckett last night, he just yelled at Lofton a little bit the Lofton escalated it in my opinion.
I swear..once I start posting, I get nothing done here at work.
It's Just Kenny being Kenny
Most players have something about them that comes off has disrespect to another player. Griffey has watched almost every homerun he's hit...Bonds, enough said...Beckett screams after a big strike outs, which pisses a lot of people off and I think it happened last night...
You can't deny Beckett has intensity though. I'm glad to see it, because it shows that he actually cares about winning the Series, and not the ALCS, the World Series.
Beckett has been a blessing.
And quinn, funny with kenny being kenny.
Whatever, it's not a big deal. Kenny needs to retire soon, and they won't see each other (hopefully Dice-K and lester get it down Sunday) again.
Manny needs to have a monster game tomorrow. Carmona needs to get rattled early. No more double plays, Sox. That's what's killing you...Thing is, Carmona is a good ground ball pitcher.
Okay, lots of doubles, no singles Sawx...Walks are okay because they raise pitch counts. Earlier they get to the bullpen, the better. Unless of course, its' Bettancourt, who scares the shi- out of me. That dude can pitch.
Although it may not be expressed, I have tried to imply in every post of how good of a pitcher Beckett is. His showing in the playoffs, Red Sox and Marlins, give credibility to him. Some of the most beloved pitchers have been mediocre regular season pitchers, but dominant in the post-season. I know if I had made it to the bigs, and I had a choice, I would want to be clutch in the post-season.
Manny is Manny...Manny is tied for the longest hitting streak in LCS history (Pete Rose: HOF'r)
As far as Carmona, seriously where did he come from. He was seriously the worst pitcher on the Indians last year, as a reliever. I won't throw in the Gagne/Carmona comparison, you should already know. Carmona is a sinker ball pitcher, a lot of ground balls if he gets his way. If he leaves a few sinkers hanging, pretty much the whole Sox lineup can take care of it.
It's up to Beckett, is he too much of a pu$$y to put Lofton on his a$$ by pitching inside? Do you think Gibson or Drysdale would put up with that?
While we're at it, why don't we sharpen our spikes, intentionally hit the catcher in the back swing, and *gasp* put to much pine tar on our bat.

Wow. All the hate. GO SOX!!!!!!!!!!
Well, you learn something new every day. You know Manny also had the most errors and worst Fielding Percentage of any LF starter that same year?
Ouch...assists are easy to come by playing left field at Fenway...
That's false... He had the third worst fielding percentage
http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/stats/fiel...umn=fieldingPct
Once i get home, I'll check out how hurtful these errors are. If Manny commits an error and it deosn/t come back to hurt the team, it doesn't really matter.
He still had 8 more assists than the 2nd most assists in the AL.
Manny isn't paid to field. he's paid to hit.
And yes, Manny would be a DH if Ortiz wasn't on the team. BUt also if Ortiz wasn't on the team, Wily Mo Pena would be the DH for the Sox right now.
So WTF would you post something to try to make it sound like his fielding IS important. Douche.
Because his defense is just a bonus. Duh
Haha...duh.
I can't think of anytime where Manny's defense lost a game for the Sox...
If defense wins championships, does lack of defense lose championships. Since the Rockies are the best defensive team in the history of the game, it seems nobody has a shot against them.
You know the 2006 Red Sox were the best defensive team in the history of the game up until the Rockies took that over this year. Red Sox missed the playoffs because of lack of pitching depth (after going into the season thinking they had it). Now defense wins championships is a soccer, basketball and football thing.
PItching AND defense wins championships in baseball. Considering pitching is part of the defensive effort. The Red sox have the best pitching left in the postseason (ERA wise for the year). So we shall see what the does for them. Certainly, Beckett hasn't let them down, it's Schilling and Dice-K that have gone 4 2/3 and let the team down. Wakefield pitching four great innings, then ran into bad luck in game 4. He's also available for game 7...
I see it that the Sox should have only allowed 2 runs at the most in that 5th inning in game 4... They SHOULD have won that game...Boy, would that have changed things.
Well the Sox didn't do enough to position themselves for a championship last year. Pitching does fall under the umbrella of defense. Beckett is a stud, Dice-K is not even close to his hype, Schilling could come out and throw a 2-hitter you just don't know.
As for the Rockies, their pitching has been damn good in the postseason, something like 4th best ERA ever [i could be wrong, off the top of my head]. You can't doubt the Rockies D.
I'm not saying the Sox can't win. I'm just saying it will be interesting. Whichever team makes it out of the AL is supposed to beat the Rockies. Sox and the Tribe were the two favorites entering this year.
Statistics in no way can measure the true value of a good defensive fielder. There is no stat that shows the number of time a runner didn't try to advance a base because the fielder has a strong accurate arm. No stat will ever show the number balls fielded in the gap to hold a runner to a single instead of extra bases.
I doubt if Manny holds any of those intangables. That said, I'd love to have his bat in my lineup.
Red Sox celebrating the AL East championship.
What are you talking about? Ever heard of zone rating and range factor? Those do a good job of measuring defensive fielders.
Also, everyone knows who has a strong arm...Vlad, Ichiro, Francouer, etc.
BTW, I hate how Joe Buck said he "debuted" this dance that Paps did.
IT's been on youtube for a while: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SMl6NWjv5r0
Actually no I haven't. I'd say Joe average baseball fan, which I am one, rates a fielder by errors, assists.
How is zone rating and range factor calculated.
Yes, everyone knows of the strong arms, but unless you can put a stat on it, it's lost to some people. People know who the fast people are, but it doesn't mean anything to some until they see how many stolen bases they've had.
Like I said earlier in the thread, I'd love to have Manny's bat in my lineup, but to build him up to anything but a below average outfielder is like calling Billy Butler a slick fielding first baseman.
Zone Rating
BIZ: Balls in zone
Plays: Plays made in zone
ZR: Zone rating
OOZ: Plays made out of zone
Chances: BIZ + OOZ
Total Plays: Plays + OOZ
Plays above average is found by finding the league average ZR, multiplying by Chances, and comparing to total plays made. This is for illustration purposes; I am using the total of this group of qualified players instead of the actual league average which would include starters and reserves. In addition, Chris Dial uses (correctly in my opinion) the AL and NL averages instead of an overall MLB average. There are factors (such as pitcher hitting) that make within league comparisons more accurate than overall comparisons.
Range Factor measures the number of attempts a fielder attempts in an average game.
Range Factor = (assists + putouts)/games
My first thought is that the idea of determining what each players zone is, is very subjective, but then so is awarding an outfielder an error by the official scorer. What the hell, I'll buy into it, I'm somewhat of a stat freak. Who compiles these stats anyway? Seams it would have to be someone present at the game.
I still say there are many things an outfielder does defensively that never appears on a stat sheet.
oh hey gaiz, I got a outfield assist lol

There are trees and bushes, streams and ditches, birds and rabbits. But, can you keep a secret? Well, at night in this particular wood, there are strange cruel potatoes that love nothing better than to bite people on the bottom.
If you were to go there in the daytime, you would find it's just like any other wood really. And, when the bluebells come out…………oh…………when the bluebells come out……it truly is the prettiest wood in the world.
It's easy to forget about all the bad things when you smell the perfume from the bluebells in Bluebell Wood. Some people say the smell can do magic. And of course that's why people go there to walk and think and feel happy.
Oh yes, it's so easy to forget. But you must never ever forget about…………………
DANGEROUS POTATOES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Crystal Records was founded in 1966 by Peter George Christ, an oboist and respected teacher. His concept was to create a record company that would focus on music for wind instruments and small ensembles usually overlooked by major companies. Crystal is committed to recognizing and encouraging American musicians.Over the decades, Crystal has provided collectors the opportunity to hear outstanding totally professional performances of music unjustly neglected. They have commissioned numerous works, often with collaboration between composes and artists, and recorded them as well. The library of wind music by American composers has surely been expanded . All of the performers are professional musicians and most hold major teaching positions at important colleges and universities. An admirable project indeed! Doubtless there is a somewhat limited market for this repertory, but many collectors will be intrigued by the new repertory now available.
The Webster Trio consists of Leone Buyse, flute; clarinetist Michael Webster, and pianist Robert Moeling. Founded in 1988 with a goal of enhancing repertory for flute, clarinet and piano, they have given numerous concerts of this repertory and already have to their credit a number of recordings for Crystal. This latest issue, called American, is a delight, often whimsical, and sometimes exotic as well (Sirota's Birds of Paradise). Recordings were made in Shepherd School of Music, Rice University in Houston.
George Pope, a master teacher and performer, is Professor Emeritus of Flute at the University of Akron. He also is a founding member of the Solaris Wind Quintet, which has recorded music of Alec Wilder for Crystal. On this latest CD, with pianist Eric Charnofsky, , he plays a varied program that features music by many American composers. It is a constant display of virtuosity, and the whimsical nature of much of the music is perfectly conveyed.
Carol Roadland is Professor of Viola at the Eastman School of Music On this new disk she is partnered by Scott Kuksdahl, who has an international career as a cellist in recital and concerts, as well as major teaching positions. On their new CD they play Peter Bartók's arrangement of 23 of his father's Duos for Two Violins. As an attractive filler, we have works for the instruments by three American composers. The rich sounds of the two related string instruments has been beautifully captured on this recording.
The Verdehr Trio started in the early 70s, and since that time has played a major role on the contemporary music scene. They have commissioned countless works, and recorded many of them. The two constant members of the Trio are Walter Verdehr violin, and Else Ludewig-Werdehr; various pianists join for different repertory; three can be heard on these two new releases. All feature music by American composers, much of which will challenge the listener (Gershwin's Promenade is a pleasant glimpse of the past on the American music scene). If you want to hear new music very well played, here it is in spades .
R.E.B. (April 2016)

Photo Exhibit Reveals Political Movements & Poverty in Manila
[Montréal, Québec, Canada 18°C] When I heard that Stefan Christoff was preparing for his second photo exhibit, I knew I had to go. His first one displayed photos from a trip he made to Lebanon. I bought one of the photographs in the exhibit of an image of Yasser Arafat stencilled onto a decaying wall in Burj el-Barajneh Palestinian refugee camp. To me it symbolizes the dire circumstances faced by Palestinian refugees: a fading leadership, constant colonial encroachment and oppressive living conditions. It now hangs on my living room wall as a reminder that, despite its singular beauty, occupation is...

Africa, Canadian Mining Interests, Human Cargo and Re-education
[Montréal, Québec, Canada 18°C] Last night, I watched the five last episodes of the 2004 six-part television series, Human Cargo, directed by Brad Turner. I watched it on DVD borrowed from the well-stocked video library at La Grande Bibliothèque. The winner of seven Gemini Awards, including best director and best miniseries, the series follows parallel stories and characters closely related to human migration issues. The series is set mostly in Vancouver, where migrants seeking refugee status in Canada deal with the Immigration and Refugee Board’s (IRB) corruptibility, and in Burundi where a civil war between Tutsis and Hutus, exacerbated by...

Global Video Games for ‘Serious’ Gamers
[MONTRÉAL] I’ve always been a fan of video games, sometimes spending hours scouring through medieval landscapes blasting the crap out grotesque monsters or evil sorcerers. But I’ve recently come across a few video games that have a purpose to them other than pure entertainment. Rather than divert a player’s attention from the real world, these ‘serious’ video games attempt to bring a sense of reality to the screen.
One such gaming developer is Copenhagen-based Serious Games Interactive, which was founded in 2006 “to revolutionise the use of computer games for purposes beyond entertainment.” They initiated a series of video games called Global Conflicts that challenges 13- to 19-year-olds to be critical and reflective citizens (source: Serious Games Interactive)in a globalized world. They offer two versions of the game: one based in Palestine and the newer one in Latin America.

Posted on October 4, 2018 by sulaiman
Title and Author: The Charge by Brendon Burchard
Caption: Activating the 10 Human Drives That Make You Feel Alive
Summary of Content:
This book is about elite. It isn’t for the shy or those that need desire. It is surely not for the individuals who look for the simple, torment free, easy lifestyle. This book is about how to outline a course of self-improvement that difficulties you in the most significant and burdening routes with a specific end goal to understand the most significant outcomes.
Burchard begins with this statement from Ralph Waldo Emerson: “We are continually preparing to live, however never living.” This sets the tenor of his proposal in this book. He provokes you to decrease to acknowledge average quality and to take a stab at as well as can be expected be and as well as can be expected accomplish.
He isolates the powers that prompt prevalent execution into “drives” which spur and empower you to accomplish the most. The book is then composed around those ten drives.
The principal segment tends to the five Baseline Drives. They incorporate the drives for Control, Competence, Congruence, Caring and Connection. These drives impact the quality and the vitality of your life. They enable you to meet your center organic needs. These drives are fundamental for meeting your essential needs and keeping up negligible security and execution. They are your establishment helpers.
Next he talks about the five Forward Drives which incorporate the drives for Change, Challenge, Creative Expression, Contribution and Consciousness. These drives are for more than negligible survival. They are the motors that push you to accomplish your aggregate potential.
In every section the creator investigates how the drive capacities, how to utilize it in your life in the best ways and what it can enable you to achieve. He utilizes representations from his customer’s carries on with, his own life and different stories.
Not at all like his first book, The Millionaire Messenger, which was a greater amount of a prologue to his work and a snare to attract individuals to his site, this book offers some substantive and profound material. While you may well profit by the classes and training administrations he offers to increase The Charge you could take in a lot from the book alone and in the event that you make it a point to actualize what you realize it could be worth much more than what you pay for the book.
Similarly as with most achievement writing there is nothing totally novel here. Burchard has taken the established standards of inspiration and achievement and composed them along these extraordinary lines. Burchard examines brain science and you can see mental hypothesis at work in the book.
Handiness:
This book has the capability of being exceptionally valuable to the individual who understands it completely and after that deliberately sets up an arrangement to execute what is found out over the long run. Similarly as with most books in this sort just understanding it and putting it away will offer little profit.
Intelligibility/Writing Quality:
The book is elegantly composed and simple to pursue. He incorporates practices toward the finish of every part to enable you to actualize his thoughts.
Notes on Author:
Brendan Burchard is a web data advertiser and mentor. He guides and he mentors. He established the High Performance Academy and is an open speaker on superior.
Three Great Ideas You Can Use:
1. To succeed and accomplish at your pinnacle execution level you should comprehend the essential motivational drives you can use to achieve your objectives.
2. Use of these drives requires comprehension, study and work.
3. Regardless of your conditions in life you have the ability to deliberately pick and make a “charged” life to accomplish your most astounding potential.

Conjectures and Refutations by Karl R Popper
There are unjustified predictions particularly with regards to science and expectations which help our insight by giving speculations, conditional arrangements, prescient arrangements, and logical legitimizations known as guesses. Notwithstanding, Karl R. Popper talks about his supposition on the dependability of guesses and invalidations in this book and along these lines broadly clarify the wonder of speculation as prescience and experimentation to deliver an outcome. The writer utilizes logical occasions as well as utilizations steady shreds of proof from legislative issues and history keeping in mind the end goal to make a down to earth feeling of edification inside the group of onlookers of this book.
Popper applies strong hypotheses of learning development to manage various issues in this world that range between minimum captivating to generally intriguing. The birthplace of science and its association with people is broadly examined in this book with reference to day by day life subjects. In spite of the fact that he worries upon that despite the fact that guesses are solid general conclusions, they remain guesses and are not thought to be acknowledged until and except if they are demonstrated by a logical strategy utilizing important strategies as clarified by science.
Basic Review
Beginning with a significant philosophical methodology, Karl R. Popper says in his book that “Among the speculations which intrigued me Einstein’s hypothesis of relativity was no uncertainty by a long shot the most critical. Three others were Marx’s hypothesis of history, Freud’s therapy, and Alfred Adler’s purported ‘singular brain science'”. So the creator essentially puts light on the three hypotheses that he has enthusiasm for. He utilizes splendid expository instruments to help him in this. With considering Adler’s hypothesis the creator tells how unique human practices are. One may contrast with another and this causes contrasts in understanding and accumulation of learning. Searching for affirmations of any hypothesis may result in an endorsement as recommended by Karl R. Popper. The more a hypothesis denies, the better it is. Popper tells the fortifying elements of expectations as hypotheses that unquestionable status isn’t an uprightness of hypothesis.
Besides, Popper clarifies the logical dismissal of hypotheses that contain adulteration, for example, soothsaying, and impersonation of atmospheres, and so forth. These speculations really can be separated by a better than average line of division among the explanations that case to be logically satisfactory however that isn’t the situation. Enlistment is a standout amongst the most discussed logical perspective and hence with an individual affair Karl R. Popper needs to convey the possibility that enlistment can be a legend as it helps in building up the standard of changeability and it intensifies a broken boundary.
On examining the current circumstance of logic, the creator utilizes topics as a medium of recognizing among various orders. On utilizing models of material science, science, and rest of the subjects, Popper needs to convey the primary substance which prompts developing a hole between at least two subjects. The two reasons that he calls attention to are either verifiable and authoritative techniques or the development of extreme issues into brought together frameworks. Checking on basically, the creator has confidence in the guideline of at first sight where a man begins with the simple fundamental level to pick up learning utilizing crafted by most prominent logicians and this would assist the subject with building a legit exertion so as to wrap up his psyche for a specific hypothesis.
Karl R. Popper tells that all the logical hypotheses, transformations, laws, and causations are bits of proof of rationale that is separated from historicism. A splendid picture of the connection among history and present is obvious in this content. Needs and needs of sociologies are likewise extremely efficient in his composition where the creator features the expectation direction of history, religion, age-old thoughts of wonder, for example, shrouds, developments of planets, the regulation of galactic accepts, and contingent forecasts. The creator utilizes models from science and life to give steady proof to his setting of contingent and logical predictions, for example, bubbling of water can consequently and restrictively be seen as an adjustment in temperature i.e. rise. The creator additionally claims to adulterate the approval of sociologies in making predictions for future improvement. To offer help to his announcement, Popper utilized logical models, for example, second law thermodynamics, generation of 100% productive hardware, and so forth. Popper expounds on the association between chronicled rationalities and logical forecasts.
Additionally, as far as monetary setting, Karl R. Popper exhibits a basic and nonpartisan contention, both in support and in against of the most discussed the hypothesis of market dissidents i.e. Marxism and its financial variation to improve the arrangements of convictions related with it, otherwise called Scientific Socialism. The creator does not specifically utilize the tab of historicism keeping in mind the end goal to give an immediate assault on Marxism however rather, he censures the hypothesis with reference to the conclusions, old and present day political, perspectives of a few savants particularly every one of those aside from Marx himself. Decent variety is unmistakable in the perspectives of those logicians having a place with various schools of logical idea. Karl R. Popper attempts to candidly advance his perusers so as to translate settings identified with “Man and Society”. Correspondingly, he gives negation to the acknowledgment of and surges towards instant accessible arrangements while approving the new speculations, methods of insight, and science-related subjects. The creator tells genuine and legitimate methods for coming to a settled logical end by following pundits of the technique as a weapon to approach issues. This commentator of the strategy gives self-elaboration and clarification to every one of the issues and their causes in addition to arrangements. Consequently, this logical strategy for the faultfinder builds up a formal meaning of causation.
The creator makes a differentiation between realism, sentimentalism and idealistic school of thought. Also, he contrasts it and Kant’s musings over edification. The right to speak freely and regulation confidence in general conclusions is the man’s rising up out of the adolescence that is deliberate without anyone else. Also, there’s a solid association in these terms of molding innovation. A man set allowed to talk and present his considerations and feelings confront a few perils as well as is a risk himself. General sentiments are solid enough to bring an unrest and development. Karl R. Popper expounds the threat utilizing his very own involvement as the best relative model to this instance of free discourse where aggregate contentions can give damage to a particular gathering of people. Besides, Popper uses analogies to give strong bits of proof when he talks about advancement of standards and speculations, compelling on the general public. The creator utilizes a majority rule perspective against the sentiments and advancement and how it influences the results of a positive interest in the general public. The creator explains the conditions of majority rule government in an association with liberal standards and proposals utilizing pertinent speculations and talk of thoughts.
The creator builds up a basic comprehension of what requires really to be a fact and not a legend. A fact requests creative energy, preliminary, blunder, and the progressive disclosure of partialities. Popular assessments effectsly affect the thickness of facts. Popper faces the virtue of truth as it changes with the adequacy of general assessments all in all as a solid device of exemplifying the established truth as a false notion. Karl R. Popper additionally utilizes strong bits of proof and models where he demonstrated how popular suppositions influence political representations and postulations. Feelings are free discourse, each individual has appropriate to talk whatever it accepts to be the talk or set of thoughts. None should forgo tolerating the sentiments. Assessments ought to be regarded without getting affronted and argumentation of assent. Generally, popular assessments assume an essential job in building up a general public and are solid enough to alter the hypotheses of truth and principle confidence of convictions.
Inspirational New Book Offers Practical Advice for Revolutionizing Your Eating Habits
Susan Teton Campbell has encountered a significant ride as she has looked for answers to sustenance related medical problems that torment a large number of Americans, and now she offers those answers and heaps of commonsense and persuasive counsel in the pages of her new book Eating as a Spiritual Practice: Discover Your Purpose While Nourishing Your Body, Mind, and Soul.
Consider Eating a Spiritual Practice as a two-for-one arrangement. In the first place, you get the unbelievable story of Susan’s life voyage, and after that you get a plenty of scrumptious and solid formulas. Be that as it may, maybe above all, blended all through those two segments is huge amounts of solid counsel and enlightening data about the estimation of appropriate sustenance and the perils of prepared and low quality nourishments.
Susan’s adventure to getting to be centered around what we eat truly started when she understood her child’s body had a bigotry to sugar and how, regardless of her earnest attempts, when that gained out of power, it additionally left him open to dependence on far more terrible substances. Susan set out on a long lasting mission to find how to turn around her child’s medical problems, and all the while, she wound up mindful of the extreme lack of healthy sustenance such a significant number of us encounter in light of the bundled, prepared nourishments we eat.
Instead of simply read about nourishment and change her and her child’s weight control plans, Susan got vigorously associated with upsetting individuals’ connections to sustenance. She took an interest in retreats and profound associations that had confidence in developing both the body and the spirit. One association she ended up included with was EarthSave International, established by John Robbins, the creator of Diet for a New America. Some portion of her inclusion with this gathering was heading up a program to attempt to get more advantageous sustenance served in schools. Before long Susan was visiting principals and making them snacks, and she was finding the bistro style lunch menus in our school regions hone the correct inverse of the great nourishment the schools’ wellbeing classes lecture.
Susan additionally opens up about her inner feelings in these pages as she examines her very own numerous endeavors to eat right and defeat allurement, and hardest of all, how she figured out how to define limits and let run with her child, Aaron, when he declined to play by the guidelines or do what was best for him, however rather spiraled down into long stretches of enslavement. Eventually, the voyage made Susan more grounded in light of the fact that her child gave exercises she frantically expected to find out about herself and his circumstance powered her inspiration to help other people. At a certain point, Susan portrays how she ended up making a decision about individuals for what they ate, and afterward she went to a profound acknowledgment:
“From that minute on, my work ended up sharing, instead of having a motivation that expected others to change. I had learned with Aaron that I couldn’t transform him, nor did having a plan to do as such enable him or myself. So another me developed one that would essentially share what I knew to be valid for me. The significance of this move and how much lighter I felt are past my ability to articulate, however they transformed me, mollified me.”
Susan proceeded to show cooking classes and always motivated solicitations to compose a cookbook, however she would not like to compose only a cookbook-she needed to share her logic and profound comprehension about our relationship to sustenance and its extremely hallowedness. The outcome: Eating as a Spiritual Practice, a book that does not attempt to offer us on a particular eating regimen, or reveal to us we have to implore over our sustenance. Rather, it’s a book loaded up with sound judgment, a straightforward methodology, and a suggestion to consider what we are putting into our mouths and the impacts it will have on our bodies. As Susan states in the book’s presentation:
“[Y]ou will be propelled to take a gander at sustenance, your body, your life, and the Earth in another light-a light loaded with reason, appreciation, and guarantee. Why? Since it is totally indispensable that we as a whole turn into a piece of making an equitable and supportable sustenance framework for ourselves, our kids, and the condition of our air, water, and soil. The more profound inspiration, which is alive in me and numerous others I know, is, at its center, otherworldly. Maybe, similar to me, you are an otherworldly searcher with a dietary practice that stretches a long ways past the table.”
Susan clarifies that we can never again eat well nourishment as a component of a brief eating regimen or just to get more fit. It must turn into a piece of our day by day rehearse simply like practicing or brushing our teeth. It must be incorporated as a day by day discipline in our lives that is “energized by affection and regard.”
Rather than checking calories or attempting to decrease our segments, we have to center around settling on supporting options that mend and keep up our bodies as well as sustain our spirits. Our body and soul’s capacities to capacity to their fullest are profoundly attached to what we eat, and it’s the ideal opportunity for us to focus on that association and do all that we can to sustain all parts of ourselves. Susan has figured out how to do that, and in these pages, she’ll enable you to figure out how to do likewise.

Book Review of The Steel Queen
Supplied with the markings of a remarkable introduction read, Karen Azinger’s The Steel Queen, draws perusers into Erdhe, a dream saturated domain ready with interest, knights, valiance, swords, magic and unadulterated shrewdness. As the chief novel in her Silk and Steel Saga, this novel serves well as a prologue to the medieval sort terrains of the kingdoms of Erdhe, alongside its different connecting with tenants.
Writer Azinger furnishes a filling dream read worked with a delightful coordination of activity, interest and dream components. The story connects immediately drenching the peruser in an unpredictably woven storyline, which houses a wealth of fluctuated and novel characters. The female characters bear specific interest in view of their assurance and clever in reality as we know it where their place is constrained by male strength.
First, the story, especially pursues the ways of a few central characters; Katherine/Kath, a youthful princess whose most profound want is to lead and employ a sword. Blaine, child of a pig rancher who wins an apparently unimaginable knighthood. Steffan, a dull character who looks for influence at any expense and Liandra, ruler of Lanverness who hopes to safeguard her well off kingdom. In the mean time, occasions unfurl, with the story told from their numerous points of view with the account changing perspectives every now and again, as every advance toward their predetermination. Also, encouraging the character woven storyline, are brief appearances of extra captivating characters. Albeit, at first, it appears the characters are on partitioned ways, with their very own objectives to accomplish, predetermination manages generally as a malignant power at work undermines all of Erdhe.
Subsequently, what pursues is an engaging, grown-up themed, lively and on occasion very savage, however all around paced story, that cunningly investigates the sexual, bureaucratic, and religious scene of a dreamland confronting the core of murkiness.
At last, I appreciated The Steel Queen. With this work, Author Azinger has created the beginnings of a captivating and up to this point, satisfying dream arrangement. Moreover, while there are a plenty of imagination class books accessible, what isolates this one from the a portion of the others is the quality and style of the composition and innovativeness. Creator Karen Azinger uses an all around sharpened talent for connecting with and brief narrating.
Furthermore, beside the considerable story, I like the incorporation of the guide of Erdhe and the Appendix clarifying the foundation of different kingdoms. Generally, this was definitely justified even despite the read and I anticipate the following in the arrangement. This is a book I prescribe for dream fans, as well as fanatics of persuasively composed, activity pressed experiences.

The government is open, what happens next?
The government is open, Panda cam is back and a committee is looking at the budget. What could possibly go wrong?
The shutdown is over. The government is open. Does this mean everything is back to normal?
That depends on your definition of normal. Yes, the government is open. Federal employees are back at work. And Congress has kicked the can just a little bit further down the road.
And Thanksgivukkah has been saved?
Yes. Remember when Republicans originally proposed postponing the default by six weeks?
I do seem to recall that.
Well, they were basically asking for more time to hash out a deal without risking the US defaulting on its debt. The deal reached earlier this week provides Congress with that extra time, time that would theoretically allow the Congress to stop “governing by crisis”, as President Obama puts it.
The deal that ended the government shutdown and lifted the debt ceiling came with few conditions, though. The first condition is that Congress get together a conference committee to come up with a budget deal, including tax and spending policies, by 13 December.
That’s great. Committees are so effective. Hold on a second, wasn’t there a committee of some sort back in the day?
Yes – you’re thinking of the 2011 supercommittee.
If I remember correctly, that attempt at bipartisanship didn’t go all that well …
Right. About three months after its August 2011 launch, the supercommittee failed to come to an agreement. And while some of the 12-member panel still shudder at the memory, four of them – Paul Ryan, Patty Murray, James Clyburn and Rob Portman – got the band back together, with 25 other lawmakers from both parties and both houses. The new committee also includes some conservatives – nine of its members voted against the deal that re-opened the government. These nine will probably try to ensure that the budget contains some things that the Republicans have been fighting for, like cuts in farm subsidies, federal pensions and unemployment insurance.
This is not sounding good at all. If the supercommittee wasn’t able to reach a deal in three months, why would we think that this new, allegedly improved committee can come up with a deal in less than two months?
They probably can’t. First, no one expects any “grand bargain” or a long-term budget to come out of the committee. Second, the deadline is 13 December, about a month before the temporary funding to keep the government open expires, on 15 January. So there will still be some time to come up with an alternate solutions.
Goldman Sachs analyst Alec Phillips says that neither party has high hopes for an agreement that would bridge the differences between the budget resolutions passed by the Republican-led House and the Democratic-led Senate.
Then why have a conference committee at all?
Because there is one more deadline that falls on 15 January. The next round of sequestration cuts will take effect automatically, unless the committee is able to strike a deal.
Wait, wait, wait. We are back to another sequester?
Well, yes. The sequester is a part of the Budget Control Act (BCA), which passed in August 2011 in yet another last-minute deal that helped avoid a default on US debt. The BCA sets a cap on spending for every year from 2012 to 2021, in order to create about $1tn in deficit reduction in over those 10 years.
And what does the committee have to do the sequester?
See, while many may have doubts over whether the committee will be able to reach a deal on the budget, there is hope that the committee might be able to reach an agreement that would help reach some minor compromises that will help blunt the second round of sequester cuts. According to Kevin Logan, chief US Economist at HSBC securities, that would take future spending reductions or revenue gains somewhere else in the longer-term budget projections.
Since Congress has been able to create such future savings in the past, they’ll probably be able to do it again. Logan says that instead of one big compromise, there might be a series of them that will set the overall level of spending “somewhere between the $1,058bn that the Democrats desire and the $967bn target that the Republicans are aiming for”.
So there won’t be another shutdown in January?
Most analysts find it unlikely. The shutdown did not quite go the way Republicans wanted and while its full impact is yet to be seen, it has definitely not helped the US move closer to economic recovery.
US economic confidence dropped by 17 points in the first two weeks of the shutdown. Even before the shutdown, US consumers self-reported that they have been cutting their daily spending from $95 in August to $84 in September – IHS chief economist Nariman Behravesh and IHS Global Insight economist Sara Johnson don’t really expect it to get better. They marked down their forecast of the US economic growth in the upcoming months from 2.2% to 1.6%. According to them, some spending, such as buying computers and cars, is being deferred and should show up later in the early 2014 and other spending, such as consumer eating out, has been lost completely.
OK – what about the debt ceiling?
Right – one of the other conditions of the deal struck earlier this week is that it only extends the debt ceiling until February. However, as Phillips notes, a precedent has been set – since the 2012 election, the debt limit has been increased twice and each time Republicans have failed to attach substantial policy provisions to the increases. While some, like Senator Ted Cruz, might attempt to extract concessions next time round, it is unlikely they will succeed.
The markets have also caught on to this precedent, realizing that Congress isn’t likely to let the US default. They have started to tune out the fiscal drama in the US politics.
That’s a good thing, no?
In a way. It’s good because that way, the political theatrics of our current Congress have less of an effect on our economy. However, it also makes it more acceptable for this political game of chicken to take place again and again. Even if Congress takes this opportunity to not “govern by crisis”, their inability to come up with long-term solutions is setting another precedent – that of multiple continuing resolutions that barely act as Band-Aids and of semi-annual fiscal drama.

Quick History of Culbert's Bakery
Culbert’s Bakery started in the early 1800’s, but the person who opened it in this time period is unknown. In 1906 the late DJ Curry and his son Arthur took over the bakery and it was names “Curry’s West Street Bakery”. Mel Culbert took over the bakery in 1942, and as soon as he retired it was passed down to his son Berry Culbert.

The election: Statement by 117 poets in support of the Labour Party
Published in Cultural Commentary
Statement By 115 Poets in Support of the Labour Party
We, the undersigned, representing a section of the poetry community, pledge our support to the Labour Party in the upcoming general election because we want to see its radically transformative and compassionate manifesto come into effect. The manifesto shows a commitment to social justice and equality not only in its comprehensive policies of state support for consumers and producers of the arts and culture generally, but also in its social and economic policies to support working people, including:
An end to austerity and the ideological attack on our welfare state
An end to the malicious work capability assessments of the sick and disabled and PIP
An end to the political scapegoating of the unemployed
An end to the two child benefit cap
An end to discriminatory rhetoric at the dispatch box
An end to the "hostile environment" for immigrants and refugees
An end to rough sleeping
An end to zero-hour contracts
An end to unpaid internships
An end to tuition fees
An end to creeping privatisation of the NHS
We want to see these Labour policies implemented:
A National Education Service
A National Care Service
A Universal Basic Income Pilot
A reintroduction of private rent controls and greater rights for renters
A restitution of Legal Aid
Free prescriptions in line with Scotland and Wales
A green industrial revolution
A culturally transformative Charter for the Arts
A Race and Faith manifesto

The frackers are fracking off
Published in Visual Arts
Cabinet minister Andrea Leadsom has admitted the fracking suspension imposed by the government is a “disappointment”, as the Conservatives face escalating pressure to introduce a permanent ban. Her remarks came as environmental campaigners hailed the announcement of a moratorium on fracking in England, declaring it a victory for communities and the climate.
She said it was clear the government “must impose this moratorium until the science changes”, but added shale gas is something the UK “will need for the next several decades”. When pressed on why a permanent ban is not being implemented by No 10, she replied: “Because this is a huge opportunity for the United Kingdom”.
However, Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn yesterday dismissed the move as an election stunt. “I think it’s what’s called euphemistically a bit of greenwash,” he said. “I think it sounds like fracking would come back on the 13th of December, if they [the Conservatives] were elected back into office. “We’re quite clear, we will end fracking. We think it’s unnecessary, we think it’s pollutive of ground water systems, and is actually dangerous and has caused serious earth tremors.”

arise! filmpoem
Published in Films
Culture Matters has produced a short film, made by Carl Joyce, of the poem arise! by Paul Summers, which was sponsored by the Durham Miners' Association. You can watch the film for free on Vimeo here or on Youtube here.
The film invokes the collective and co-operative spirit of past generations of men and women who worked and struggled so hard to survive, to build their union, and to arise, organise, and fight for a better world by forming the Labour Party. It also celebrates the new spirit that has arisen in Corbyn’s Labour Party, and the rise of support for socialist solutions to the country’s growing problems of low wages, poverty, homelessness, and other signs of an unfair and corrupt system designed to benefit the many, not the few.
Jeremy Corbyn said this about the poem:
It's wonderful to see the proud history of the Durham Miners' Gala represented in this powerful poem. Paul Summers has managed to capture the spirit of the Miners' Gala and its central place in our movement's mission to achieve 'victory for the many, and not the few’.
The film is not just a celebration of the tremendous working-class cultural heritage around mining, as expressed in the banners and the music at the Gala, but also the socialist, co-operative spirit of the women and men from mining communities that is alive and struggling today.
Martyrs of Coal
by Chris Norris
You martyrs of coal, yours the glory
While there's still a miner alive,
Or singer to bring us the story
In which your proud legends survive.
You masters of coal, hear them calling,
Those martyrs you sent down to die,
Crushed lifeless by pit-rafters falling,
Or drowned as the waters ran high.
You martyrs, cry loud to remind us
That justice can never be done
If class-laws shall fetter and bind us
As long as the waggoners run.
You masters, you bled, starved and beat us,
You worked us to death for your gain,
You called out the troops to defeat us
And told us our strikes were in vain.
You martyrs of coal, stand beside us
As we stand today in your name
To win back the rights long denied us
And put our exploiters to shame.
And you modern masters, now hear us,
You tribe of dot-com millionaires,
Think now of their courage and fear us
When we raise the cry that was theirs.
For it's the same passion that fires us,
The zeal that gave courage its role,
And still their example inspires us,
Those martyrs of conscience and coal.
That martyr spirit has arisen recently in other current trade union struggles like the industrial action at McDonald’s, British Airways, and other employers, and in the outraged reaction to other injustices against the working class like the Grenfell tragedy. So there is footage from other campaigns in the film, showing how they are all part of our struggle for economic and political justice, for socialism in Britain and in the whole world.
And most of all the spirit of the miners has arisen in the modern Labour Party, led by Jeremy Corbyn. Arise, resist, vote Labour, and struggle for a better world!
You can also buy a DVD of the film, which is licensed to be played anywhere. It is available here at £5 plus £1.50 p. and p., and 10% of sales proceeds will go to the Redhills Development Fund. The same applies to the poem, which is available here.

Angels and Demons: one must subdue the other
Sean Ledwith reviews Angels and Demons, by Tony McKenna, a collection of essays on artists, writers and politicians written from a historical materialist perspective.
The role of the individual in history has been one of the perennial debates throughout the development of Marxist theory. Marx and Engels in the nineteenth century were keen to dissociate themselves from the ‘great man view of history’ that had characterised much of bourgeois scholarship up to that point. The defining feature of historical materialism as an analytical tool in their hands was to transfer the focus of attention away from the actions and intentions of individuals, and onto the structural forces and relations of production that have combined to create a succession of modes of production across the millennia of human history.
At the same time, as revolutionary activists and not simply disinterested scholars, the founders stressed the ongoing importance of human agency and the capacity of individuals to operate with a degree of choice, albeit within the constraints of these subterranean processes. This fine balance between structure and agency is neatly encapsulated in a celebrated passage from Marx’s Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte:
Men make their own history, but they do not make it as they please; they do not make it under self-selected circumstances, but under circumstances existing already, given and transmitted from the past.
Of course, subsequent generations of thinkers, seeking to follow the founders’ example, have not always succeeded in reproducing both elements of this conceptual tension; oscillating at times between the voluntarism associated with Sartre and others, and the subject-less paradigm constructed most intricately by Althusser.
Anyone looking for a modern attempt to recreate the dialectical balance between the individual and wider social forces in the spirit of Marx and Engels should refer to this highly readable collection of essays by Tony McKenna. The author impressively surveys the lives of a number of individuals across the fields of politics, philosophy and the arts who have had a major impact – for good or ill – on human affairs.
McKenna takes his theoretical cue from a passage in Trotsky’s seminal History of the Russian Revolution in which the character of Nicholas II is portrayed as an amalgam of the subjective and objective:
In Trotsky’s account, the personal and the political achieve a harmonious but terrible synthesis, for in the person of the last Tsar is embodied all the decadence, fatality, pettiness, self-deception, brass ignorance, denial and hopelessness of a historical tendency which has entered into an inevitable, mortal freefall. (3)
Developing the template provided by Trotsky for a distinctively Marxist approach to biography, the author persuasively argues that a nuanced version of historical materialism, eschewing both crude determinism and naïve individualism, can creatively identify the strands that link the lives of the one with the many. The personalities he discusses are not reducible to mere abstract cyphers, the personal representatives of mechanical, anonymous historical forces, but rather their art and activity, their interests and individuality, only resonates its full uniqueness and meaning in the context of the historical epoch, and the underlying social and political contradictions which set the basis for it. (6)
As a formulation of the Marxist conception of the role of the individual in history, McKenna here provides a valuable new iteration of the analyses of Marx, Trotsky and others in previous eras.
The author divides his ten subjects into the two categories alluded to in the title. This classification follows a method that in more familiar terms consists of radicals and reactionaries. In the former camp, we find Victor Hugo, Hugo Chavez, Rembrandt, Andrea Dworkin, William Blake and Jeremy Corbyn. The ‘Demons’ team is made up of Christopher Hitchens, Schopenhauer, Hillary Clinton and Trump.
It would be difficult to think of more diverse and anomalous assortment of case studies for McKenna’s thesis that historical materialism can usefully contextualise the personal with the political! However, he deploys with virtuosity a remarkable grasp of the breadth of cultural, economic and political forces at work in the lives of these personalities. Anyone interested in any of the above figures will find their understanding enhanced by McKenna‘s sophisticated delineation of how the respective subject’s ideology was shaped by the dynamics of the age.
The only slight drawback of the author’s selection is that the personalities are not analysed in chronological order. The reader for example can find herself rewinding from Hitchens in the twentieth century to Rembrandt in the seventeenth, and similarly from Dworkin in the twentieth to Blake in the eighteenth. McKenna perceptively suggests the key to explications of individual psychology from a Marxist perceptive should comprehend how major figures mediate most profoundly the most significant contradictions within the capitalist order at different stages in its development. (15)
It might have been preferable, therefore, if each study more evidently reflected a step-change in the operations of the rule of capital from the dawn of the bourgeois revolutions to today’s seemingly remorseless neoliberal hegemony. However, this consideration does not detract from the elegance and power of McKenna’s expositions.
The emphasis on contradictions in an individual personality is the fundamental insight that lies at the heart of McKenna’s methodology. Again, in this aspect he follows in the tradition of some of the best thinkers in the Marxist tradition. Gramsci, in his Prison Notebooks of the 1930s, drew attention to ‘contradictory consciousness’ as one of the symptoms of alienation in the mental framework of every subject living under the role of capital.
Voloshinov, in the previous decade, explored the phenomenon of ‘multi-voicedness’ and the manner in which the consciousness of an individual can simultaneously contain ideological input from a range of sources, some of which may be conflicting. Likewise, the author here contends that the key to unlocking human personality is the way in which the contradictions of the age are manifested in the unique experience of every person. The result of this methodology is a sequence of portraits that fulfils Gramsci’s guidance on how biography in the tradition of historical materialism can produce insights that are superior to its bourgeois counterpart:
They never let you have an immediate, direct, animated sense of the lives of Tom, Dick and Harry. If you are not able to understand real individuals, you are not able to understand what is universal and general.
Rembrandt, Self-portrait at the age of 63
In the moving chapter on Rembrandt, McKenna elucidates how the painter’s sublime genius lay in his ability to tune into the contradictions of the world’s first bourgeois revolution as the newly born Dutch capitalist state threw off the yoke of the Spanish Empire at the turn of the seventeenth century:
For he channelled this dualism in an art which attains a new depth of individuality and interority, illuminating the flickering shadows of the soul, while at the same time possessing the kind of aesthetic integrity which was able to express the suffering of an age, allowing it to bleed into the backdrop of his paintings. (96)
McKenna recounts how many of Rembrandt’s portraits of the 1630s, such as ‘The Prodigal Son in the Brothel’, are of the moneyed bourgeoisie whose ‘exuberant political freedoms' (89) are expressed in the lavish and salubrious scenes depicted around the characters. The optimism and self-confidence of an embryonic ruling class that is taking a torch to the decaying carcass of feudalism is almost palpable.
The greatness of Rembrandt, however, is that the artist notes, amid the surging power of the Dutch bourgeoisie, a sense that its hegemony will be built not on the abolition of exploitation but only a new type of exploitation. Describing the iconic ‘Anatomy Lesson of Dr Nicholas Tulp’, McKenna draws our attention to the attitude of the scientists looking down on the corpse in front of them: They see him only in terms of an object like any other, to be appropriated, to be carved up; as a means to enhance their own material and intellectual powers. (93)
This picture is conventionally interpreted as representing the humanism and idealism of the scientific revolution of the early modern age. With an appropriate lightness of touch, however, McKenna deploys a Marxist lens to re-imagine it as a portent of the calculated disinterest the capitalist class retains for the millions of subjects who labour in its name.
At no point does the author’s analysis relapse into a crude materialism that might see Rembrandt as the artist of the Dutch bourgeois revolution and little else. McKenna does not lose sight of the fact that the reason the artist remains phenomenally popular is that he addresses anxieties and concerns that continue to exercise the human imagination, and that probably always will.
For example, ‘The Slaughtered Ox’ from 1643 contains an enigmatic power that seemingly defies rational explanation. The image of a butchered bovine cadaver in a basement at first would appear to be an unlikely source of fascination. For McKenna, however, the painting brutally reminds us of the material reality of our existence as transient beings in a universe ultimately beyond our comprehension:
Rembrandt is making us aware that, ultimately, this is our destiny – that, each day, life crucifies us that little bit more and that little more slowly, through the sense of loss and suffering we must inevitably accumulate. (102)
If Rembrandt is rightly one of the eponymous angels of the collection, Christopher Hitchens as one of the most famous critics and polemicist of our age falls into the less desirable category. His championing of the calamitous Bush-Blair inspired invasion of Iraq in 2003 is probably the main reason Hitchens was suitably dubbed as a fallen angel in the eyes of many on the radical left. McKenna ultimately concurs with this damning verdict but does not elide over Hitchens’ undoubted qualities as a writer and is generous in acknowledging his subject’s stoical battle against cancer in the twilight of his life:
Hitchens had a wonderful facility with words. His literary flair surpasses that of his idol Orwell, in my view, in terms of its fluidity and grace…even in his later years, the increasingly rotund figure of this patrician journalist was in possession of a certain stoutly courage. (71-72)
Hitchens’ espousal of Western imperialism in his last decade can appear bizarrely incongruous in the light of his previous association with the revolutionary left. As McKenna observes, the most obvious explanation would be that ‘the allure of money and privilege no doubt played its part’. (70) But the author contends that a more productive line of thought is to trace the conflict that raged within Hitchens’ persona throughout his life between two contradictory impulses. On the one hand, the desire to shock the establishment, and on the other, the need to be part of it. In McKenna’s words:
The need to have it both ways, so to say-to be able to indulge the exhilarating frisson and enjoy the moral vitality which are the remits of the freedom-fighter, while simultaneously partaking in the silky confidences of the most famous and powerful; this was the central, elemental contradiction which fissured across Hitchens’ existence. (82)
Perhaps the moral of this particular life is that although contradictions are the essence of the human condition, they do not always play out without resolution. The aftermath of the 9/11 attacks forced Hitchens to decide whether he would decisively take the side of the oppressed or the oppressor. His total failure to comprehend Islamism as a distorted form of resistance to imperial hegemony led him into the welcoming arms of Cheney, Wolfowitz and the rest of the neocon cabal in Washington.
McKenna’s reflective adoption of a Marxist approach to psychology here highlights the advantage of not focusing on our interiority alone; but also perceiving how by events in the external world can force us to confront the contradictions within ourselves. The fiery fiasco of the ‘War on Terror’ forced Hitchens to face the paradoxes of his own existence – and he was found wanting.
McKenna’s closing chapter is a timely assessment of the leadership of Jeremy Corbyn. As the Tory government stumbles through the Brexit morass, the prospect of the Labour Leader walking through the black door of Number 10 is tantalisingly real. In the neatly titled ‘Chronicle of a Coup Foretold’ McKenna predicts that such a scenario would trigger a major crisis of the British state, in which the aspirations of millions of working-class people, long neglected by a venal elite, would be pitched against the centuries-old conservatism of the ruling class. Unlike the previous profiles in the book, McKenna does not detect any deep contradictions in Corbyn’s personality, and the author’s focus is more on a looming rupture in the wider body politic. In fact, it is fair to say that the Labour leader’s apparent lack of hidden agendas – conscious or otherwise – is the root of his remarkable appeal. Corbyn’s lack of complexity and personal ambition is a refreshing change from his recent predecessors in the post:
Jeremy Corbyn is a kind, decent, reasonable man who evinces a sense of faint distaste and aloofness to the more savage and Machiavellian manoeuvrings, which are so much a part of modern politics. (238)
Nevertheless, McKenna shrewdly cautions us that these qualities are eerily reminiscent of Salvador Allende, Chile’s doomed socialist Prime Minister of the early 1970s. Allende believed decency and reason would be enough to restrain the dark forces of military intervention that stood at his side in the last weeks of his administration. By the time he realised they were actually his deadliest enemies, it was too late. If Corbyn is not to suffer a similar fate in the future, the whole labour movement in the UK will need to realise there can be no common ground in the event of a clash between the ‘Angels and Demons’ – one must subdue the other.

Le Maillot Gallois: Tour de France 2018
Published in Sport
C’est magnifique, Geraint! declares cycling fan Mark Perryman, and calls on Labour to develop a socialist culture policy to encourage popular, grassroots cycling.
Britain took 109 years to achieve its very first Tour de France winner in 2012. And now we can hardly stop winning it, with the single exception of Italy’s Nibali in 2014 (when Chris Froome crashed and was unable to continue) every year since. The French aren’t best pleased mind: ‘Boring, Boring Team Sky’ is one of their less impolite responses.
Each of our winners has been different. Wiggins in 2012 was impeccably English, complete with RAF roundels mod-style on his helmet and a fondness for The Jam (the band, not what we spread on our toast). His victory was immediately followed by the London 2012 Olympics where he also triumphed in the Time Trial, to win a Gold Medal to add to his Yellow Jersey.
Pictured astride a throne at Hampton Court, where the race ended, Bradley with Wiggomania in tow was rampant with the Union Jack enjoying a late Cool Britannia renaissance. It was a moment when most of us thought Wiggo could do no wrong, until we found out via a jiffy bag that maybe he could.
Then along came Chris Froome, Wiggins’ number two in 2012 who didn’t much fancy playing second fiddle to anyone, least of all Wiggo. Born in Kenya, educated in South Africa, Froome pays (or rather doesn’t pay) his taxes in Monaco. Never mind, he could climb a mountain on a bike like nobody else, never out of his saddle, twig-like arms outstretched with hands ‘on the hoods’ staring into the distance as if the gradient barely existed.
Four wins in five years 2013- 2017, a legend in the making. The idea that in order to be a world-beating sports superstar an athlete needs the ‘personality’ to go with it is an unwelcome product of our celebritified era, but there’s not much doubt it helps. Froome’s achievements dwarf Wiggins but he was never a hit with the great British sporting public in the same way, most of whom don’t have much more than a passing interest in watching cycling. And so his near downfall via the over use of an asthma inhaler didn’t have quite the big hit of Wiggo and his dodgy jiffy bag full of we know not what. All it did was confirm those deep seated suspicions that the superhuman qualities of Grand Tour cyclists aren’t as naturally-produced as they might appear.
And now we have Geraint Thomas. Previously a super-domestique, always happy and willing to help his leader, as the cliché goes – road cycling is an individual sport played by teams. His emergence first to lead Le Tour and finally win it shocked just about everyone, not least himself.
Yes undoubtedly the suspicions linger, cycling will never entirely be rid of these, but Geraint’s is a homespun story of a Cardiff kid who joined his local cycling club, went to a secondary school with superlative sports facilities, and was talent-spotted at an early age. His is a rare ability, that took him first to Olympic glory and then on to the road, grinding out the hundreds of kilometres mainly in the cause of more-celebrated others. He is in this regard the perfect combination of Wiggins’ personality and Froome’s athleticism on a bike.
So are we about to witness ‘Geraintmania’? If back, and in most cases front, pages are anything to go by on the Monday morning after the Champs Élysées triumph the afternoon before, we might like to think so. Handily sandwiched after World Cup 2018, Wimbledon and the British Open, before England’s test series against India and the start of the football season, a British Tour de France win now receives the kind of blanket media coverage that before Wiggins barely existed. But somehow I doubt the scale of any ‘mania’.
Thomas’s backstory, and particularly his Welshness, adds something to the mix, however. He’s more understated than Wiggins, but someone to warm to in a way Froome never quite manages. Yet short of the BBC Sports Personality of the Year award, it is hard to imagine Thomas will be much in the news in the interim. Despite that, as he revelled in his victory all the media-talk was of how he would inspire others to follow him in the same way he’d been inspired to get on a bike by Le Tour as a kid.
This is the cruel myth-making of any sporting triumph. It’s not being a killjoy to point to the social construction of sport, rather it is the only means of understanding how to change participation from sofa-watching to getting off that sofa.
Cycling in this regard has a lot going for it. It is a means of transport and freedom for children, a way to spend time together as a family, a means to get to work or to do the shopping for adults. And all the while we can dream we are Geraint Thomas.
Yet each of these opportunities are shaped by the socio-economic circumstances of the world we live in. Fewer children cycle to school than ever before. Safe cycling routes to enjoy for parents and children ambling together on two wheels remain few and far between. Towns and cities are ill-equipped to cope with expanding demand to cycle to work, and we have a rail system that actively deters the carriage of cycles.
Don’t believe me? Visit any other European country and both the much better participation statistics and vastly more positive lived experience of cycling put Britain to shame. Yes there’s been a post-Wiggins increase in cycling but mostly it has been those who have given up one sport, anecdotally marathon-running and golf are often cited, for another.
There’s been next to no overall reversal in ever-declining physical activity participation rates. So well done Geraint, but I’m afraid to change all this its going to be down to another cyclist. Over to you, Jeremy Corbyn!

Gala Day, Durham Miners
by Jane Burn
At eight-fifteen, the band stands up in regimented lines.
July, before the schools break – the morning lull broken
by the stray parp of tuning notes, loud and sudden
through nets ghosting open windows. It’s a signal
to get up, throw cardigans over nighties, join the exodus
of neighbours slopping feet in slippers, scratching bed hair.
Slovenliness forgiven, this once – right now it means more
to be outside, listening to them play.
Dorothy – bitched about me once, with them at thirty-one,
but if I cannot forgive her that, what use as a person am I?
Her Arthur, taken by cancer in less than a year. Marie, last
of three sisters; a street full of women outliving their men.
Sleepy-eyed kids, hurried out of their beds to hear the opening
bars of Abide With Me, see The Banner, tassels of gold and red;
For The People By The People. Your history, I tell my sons.
Your village, see? This is why we don’t forget.
We were children when we lived through the last of the mines.
Thatcher – strikes, scabs, picket lines; Arthur Scargill
in Barnsley. The Dearne Valley villages – always the backdrop
of pit-heads, men in donkey jackets, orange panels bright among
allotment leeks. The scent of sparking fires – the sharp, oily smell;
powder, staining everything it touched – grimy on the coal man’s
hessian skin, sooting the sacks on his flat-bed truck. Dad, quitting
before it got too late, did not want the blackness settling on his lungs.
Wath Main, Wombwell, Hickleton, Manvers – given to nature now,
flat under birds. Nineteen eighty-four. The corridors of our local comp
overrun with cameras from the BBC – kids sticking two fingers up
for the telly. Tracy, from my year at school is missing and so are
her brothers; Darren and Paul have been killed, while scavenging
for slack on Goldthorpe coal-tips. The funeral – playing the schools
dented brass, my tongue dried up on the mouthpiece, metallic
with tears and tin. Brothers don’t die – they do not die beneath
embankments of smother and soot before they are sixteen, bursting
their lungs under slag; their fathers fingers digging through the scree,
nails split, skin torn. Blood and choke. The drummer strikes the skin
of the bass drum. A sonic boom, as if Gabriel himself is smiting
the roofs of our estate. The troop moves down the hill – people,
magnetised like iron filings follow the flag; dwindling to a last
earful of airborne notes, clear as crystal tears. Left behind,
we swallow the thick in our throats; faces lit by zealot’s blaze.
There is nothing left. Stranded here and there a winding mechanism;
giant upturned bogie wheels framed against the sky. Beamish tunnel
to gawp at – to remind us of kiddies pulling up half-ton coal tubs
in the dark; their lives lit by the whim of a candle's flame.

Will England’s World Cup success embolden nationalist Brexiteers? You better believe it......
Stuart Cartland responds to Mark Perryman's article with a more cautious assessment of the potential for extracting progressive cultural meanings from the success of the England team.
As much as I want to believe in the positive force of seeing a strong and unified young multicultural English team do well at the Word Cup, as a symbolic metaphor for a modern, inclusive and progressive nation, I can’t help but dread how any English success only serves to embolden a sense of Englishness of the conservative right.
The metaphor of England beating other nations (and all nations that England play have some sort of symbolic ‘other’ about them) only serves to embolden a sense of English doggedness, separateness and fleeting superiority. In the current times of post-Brexit anxiety and continual economic and political crisis, the England team is used to represent a fantasy of England fighting against the odds and determining their own future.
Take a stroll into your nearest newsagents and see how the ever-reliable tabloids lap up these metaphors with gleeful jingoism. Time and again the tired old cliches and fetishes of war, empire and isolationism are dusted off when the England team play in major football tournaments. It’s as inevitable as a rail replacement bus, a hosepipe ban or the Germans doing well…Ooooh errrrrr.
Maybe, just maybe this time it will be different though – a faint hope I always have in times such as these. Never before has the England team represented such a youthful and multicultural image of England, a beacon of inclusivity, modernity and a last bastion of meritocracy in a society corrupt with nepotism and inequality.
However such obvious and strong metaphors, are quickly over-looked for the more familiar tub-thumping we are all familiar with and can expect or rather, have already witnessed. Regardless of who is playing for England, what dominates is the nationalistic default attachment of England’s glory to the good-old-days, a blitz spirit, bulldog spirit and how England needs only itself to determine its own future irrespective of the outcome – sound familiar?
How though can Labour or the left in general disrupt the dominant conservative narrative around cultural identity? Watching the now viral clip of Danny Dyer speaking about Brexit last week on the new Piers Morgan fronted TV show with fellow guest Jeremy Corbyn looking on, I couldn’t help but feel how his simple yet perfectly worded rant made Jeremy Corbyn look out of touch with a general mood, in that it’s left to someone like Danny Dyer to articulate genuine frustrations that politicians can’t or are unable to – and when they do attempt to it, it often looks contrived or off the mark.
In a similar way, if Corbyn and Labour tried to focus upon sport as a means to articulate a political or cultural struggle it is in very clear danger of ending up like the example that Mark Perryman gave of New Labour from 1996. Political manoeuvring around national teams often ends up looking like cheap and contrived bandwagon-jumping. In a wider sense ‘Cool Britannia’ and New Labour’s very purposeful rebranding of Britishness in the late 90’s also only served to solidify concepts of Englishness as the preserve of the conservative right. People are very wary of politicians trying to purposefully exploit sporting events, however sporting events are often used to manifest ideological sentiment – just think of Danny Boyle’s London 2012 Olympics opening ceremony. This is a good example of very clear inclusive and egalitarian sentiment expressed through a sporting occasion – but is a very rare and relatively successful example from the left.
The crux of the issue is that it is assumed and taken for granted that England (and it is particularly England for many reasons) doing well at sport (particularly football) is automatically linked to and co-opted by a particular and paradoxical type of nationalism. It’s a sort of default preserve of the right, a struggle that inclusive and radical concepts of national identity have always struggled with and against. This is clearly a deeper issue within our society, identity and dominant national narratives however, one that is constructed and can change. There is nothing natural about nationalism being inherently conservative or right wing,
How football is consumed and engaged with today has massively changed, it is the global game. Anyone watching the vibrant and good-natured mix of fans in Russia (yes, the place where we were warned not to go due to threats of extreme xenophobic violence) couldn’t help but be struck by the cosmopolitan feel of it all.
But even this international utopia of good will and the very clearly overwhelmingly working class and multicultural make-up of the England team is lost within the hubbub of England doing well (so far) at a major football tournament. Who the England team are what they can represent does have the potential to be a most powerful metaphor for the nation and a new sense of identity within a time of crisis and anxiety, but much like the potential of the team itself it never seems to be realised.
England expects........the World Cup, anti-racism, and Corbyn's Labour Party
As England prepare to take on Colombia tonight, Philosophy Football’s Mark Perryman outlines what we can look forward to. He discusses the potential of modern football for communicating anti-racist messages, and offers some advice to Jeremy Corbyn's Labour Party about developing a cultural struggle to run alongside the labour movement's political and economic struggles. This involves adopting a political practice which is rooted in popular culture, where ideas are formed – and changed.
The last time England got to this stage at a World Cup there was no happy ending. A 4-1 thrashing at the hands of Germany at South Africa 2010. Well at least we know that isn’t going to happen, Auf Wiedersehen before the postcards, ouch!
Though it might not do to be too cocky. England have a decent record in the last sixteen, when not up against a top tier football nation. Beating Ecuador at World Cup 2006, Denmark in 2002, Belgium in 1990, Paraguay in 1986. But out of that lot the only time we then made it past the quarters to the semis was when at Italia’90 after beating Belgium in the last 16 we faced Cameroon, rather than a higher-ranked team.
This is what makes the Russia 2018 campaign so mouth-watering a prospect. Beat Colombia and the quarter will be against Sweden or Switzerland. And with Spain dispatched England’s semi-final opponent would be Russia or Croatia. Arguably there has never been a World Cup like it for sending well-fancied former tournament winners home early, Germany now joined by the last sixteen exits of Argentina, Spain, and reigning European champions, Portugal.
But again, let’s not get ahead of ourselves. Since England’s last World Cup semi-final appearance 28 years ago, quite a few non top-tier football nations - Bulgaria, Sweden, Croatia, Turkey, South Korea, Portugal, who have never won the World Cup or played in a final - have made it this far. England’s world standing never moved on after 1990. In the almost three decades since then, we have fallen behind others, and in the recent past have slipped back still further. Thus Columbia, Sweden, Switzerland, Croatia and Russia can’t be taken as lightly as some might assume.
All those fancied teams going home early has certainly opened up the tournament, but something else has happened too. No African team has made it into the last 16. Pelé’s prediction that an African team would win the World Cup by 2000 looks as far away as ever. And with only Japan making it through to the last sixteen, despite their plucky performance against Belgium, their eventual defeat means the same goes for Asia too. Football is a truly global game, but the very top level remains a European-Latin American cartel, with little obvious sign of that changing.
Since the beginning, the World Cup has been won by a remarkably small number of teams. Apart from Brazil, Germany and Italy plus Uruguay’s rather ancient 1930 and 1950 tournament wins following England’s one and only triumph, newcomers Argentina have won the trophy twice, in 1978 and ’86.
Three tournaments later, host nation France lifted the trophy for the first and only time in ‘98, and another three tournaments later Spain did the same in 2010 but not again since. After the exits of Germany and Argentina, and the failure of either four-times winners Italy to qualify or Holland - who hold the unenviable record of making the most appearances in a World Cup Final without winning it - the best possible outcome from Russia 2018 would be for a nation that’s never won the World Cup to lift the trophy. Or England, of course!
World Cup winners may be more or less unchanging yet something else has changed, for European teams in particular. When England won the World Cup in 1966 the team was all white. 24 years later and the team that lined up once again to face West Germany in the ’90 semi-final included just two black players, Des Walker and Paul Parker. Another 28 years on and of the England team to face Columbia tonight more than half the line-up will be black or mixed race. And what is true of England is also true for France, Belgium, Switzerland, Germany and Portugal too - all teams made up of a patchwork of the nation’s migrant communities .
Of course the meaning and effect of all this can be overstated. At France ’98 Zinedine Zidane led arguably the greatest multicultural team of all to World Cup triumph, and two years later the same at Euro 2000. But in 2002 Jean Marie Le Pen makes it into the final round of the French Presidential Election for the first time ever, polling almost 20% of the vote. And in 2017 Marine Le Pen achieved the same, this time attracting a third of the popular vote.
But the point is that a St. George Cross draped in the colours of multiculturalism has at least the potential for the beginnings of a journey away from racism. It has a reach and symbolism like no other, touching the parts of a nation’s soul no anti-racist placard thrust in our faces is ever going to.
This is the meaning of modern football, and when England begin to scale the heights of 2018 World Cup ambition the reach of that message is amplified still further on a scale and in a manner that ’66 could never have done, and ’90 barely began. A popular Left politics must surely connect with such episodes as metaphor, to translate what we see on the pitch into the changes beyond the touchline that we require to become a more equal and socialist society.
So here’s my advice for Jeremy Corbyn and his colleagues. If Labour cannot explain the meaning of the World Cup why should I listen to what the party has to tell me on how they’re going to fix the mess the NHS is in? A World Cup provides an unrivalled opportunity to illustrate occasionally hidebound points on race, nation and globalisation that touch upon the lived experience and emotions of millions who otherwise might not give such issues a second thought at best, and who might adopt a reactionary position at worst. Corbynism has this kind of popular communicative potential but to date has scarcely even begun to make these kinds of connections.
That doesn't mean the flimsy populism of Blair, when he adopted the ‘Labour’s Coming Home’ message after England’s last tournament semi, Euro ‘96. It means a political practice rooted in popular culture, because it's in popular cultures like football, more than anywhere else, that ideas are not only formed, but also changed.

"the news behind the news"
FDN Court Corruption Doc Remains "Banned In L. A." Now Heads To 9th Circuit
Paul Orfanedes, Litigation Director of Judicial Watch, Inc. appears in this 9 minute video blog update on the fate of Full Disclosure's documentary feature covering Judicial Corruption in Los Angeles. The FDN documentary was banned by the L A Judges of the Superior Court, when they refused to let the closing statement to be recorded in a public courtroom. The documentary is now headed to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals where Judicial Watch, Inc., a public interest law firm, has filed a notice of Appeal.
Leslie Dutton, Producer of the documentary of entitled"The Cost of Courage"said "our movie was almost complete when the Judges of the Los Angeles Superior Court denied our application to use the empty courtroom to record the last scene where we intended to record a statement made by former U. S. Prosecutor Richard I Fine who was taken into custody in that very courtroom. Fine was held for 18 months in solitary coercive confinement in L A County Men's Central Jail, without being charged or convicted of a crime. Read the Complaint here.
At issue in the controversy is whether or not the Presiding Judge Lee Smalley Edmon, Department 86 Judge Ann I. Jones and Superior Court Legal Counsel Brett Bianco could legally block the documentary from being recorded in the public courtroom when it was empty. Ironically, the Superior Court announced on Friday, June 15th that 52 courtrooms were being shut down due to budget cuts. On Monday, June 18th, U S. Judge Manuel Real dismissed the First Amendment lawsuit, claiming there was no First Amendment Right to access of a pubic courtroom. And on Friday June 22, Judicial Watch filed a notice of Appeal in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.

Ron Kaye: The Ugly Side of Los Angeles Politics
Segment #1: L A County Demands Media Retraction on Football & Frisbee Ban
L A County Board of Supervisors approve law without reading it first. . Then they find out that they banned football and Frisbees on the beaches. Citizens complain they are loosing their freedoms. CBS news reported it right but the County backtracks claiming the news media did not check with them first and demanded a correction. Veteran news editor Ron Kaye says the media got it right and that is why the Supervisors ordered the measure to be re-written in clear language.
Segment #2: Four Kings & Queen Reign Over L A County
LA County is ruled by royalty, Four Kings and a Queen who are elected to the Board of Supervisors and are elected and re-elected year after year because they control so much money. Ron Kaye describes how the five Supervisors were humiliated by their own actions, when they approved a new Beach Ordinance unanimously that banned the public from playing ball on the beach. Kaye suggests the only way it will change is if an army of citizens rise up against the government abuse and stop the government manipulation of recreational activity, nudity and drinking on the beach.
Segment #3: Government Silences Ordinary Citizens, Deciding In Private
Veteran Newsman Ron Kaye describes how the L A City Council favors special interests over the citizens at council meetings. Their unanimous votes without public participation raises the issue that they are making decisions in private before the public meetings. The California Brown Act forbids closed meetings without public attendance and participation. There is rarely any enforcement and it almost always requires financing a lawsuit to force the government to be honest.

Judicial Watch Challenges Calif. SuperiorCourt Ban Of Documentary Movie
Sterling E. Norris
Judicial Watch Attorney
Washington, D.C. Judicial Watch, Inc. is asking the U. S. California Central District Court to intervene on behalf of the American Association of Women, AAW v. Presiding Judge Lee Smalley Edmon (CV-12-1888) , challenging the L A Superior Court’s denial of public access to an empty court room for filming documentary movie. Read Court filing here: URL: http://fulldisclosure.net/Documents/USDCAAW-SuperiorCourt3-6-12.pdf
Court Denies Access To Documentary Project
AAW is producing a Full Disclosure Network® documentary movie about the 18-month “coercive confinement” of former U S Attorney Richard I. Fine by L A Superior Court Judge David Yaffe of Dept. 86 in the downtown civil court house. The AAW had requested use of Dept. 86 to video record, a re-enacted account, from court transcripts, of the sentencing hearing where Richard Fine was taken into custody.
Several Attempts Rejected
AAW attempted several times to reserve the empty court room that is public property. The final effort was made to Presiding Judge Lee Smalley Edmon who, through counsel, denied access As related in the letters requesting use of Dept. 86 for no more than 30 minutes when it was not in use, was the fact that CNN had used Dept. 86 for their piece on the Richard Fine case. Judicial Watch believes that the public property of the court is used by various groups, including school classes and that AAW’s request was reasonable and should have been granted.
The Superior Court Legal Counsel is expected to file a response on behalf of the Presiding Judge Edmon or before April 27, 2012.

Beach Ban On Football And Frisbees
Los Angeles, CA County Board of Supervisors are caught in an "April Fools" joke on an international level when they approved a sweeping "Beach Ordinance" that bans the use of footballs and frisbees on the beaches. Watch this 9 minute video where critics take on the County Board of Supervisors who attempt to explain the comprehensive ordinance that contains much more than the football-frizbee ban but the details were never openly debated as the public discussion was limited to only a few minutes. When the main stream media reported there would be a $1000 fine for violations of the ordinance, the Supervisors and county bureaucrats back-tracked, demanding the media correct the report. In this 9 minute video veteran newsman Ron Kaye, long time edito of the L A Daily News now blogger, puts it all in perspective. Civic activist Jon Nahhas describes the public reaction and fears for loss of liberties while Beaches and Harbors Division Chief Carol Baker defends the county's rush to change the wording of the ordinance, claiming the whole controversy was caused by an erroneous media report, The report was never retracted, corrected, but merely disappeared from the internet websites and replaced with an "update".
Election Official Lying ? On Voter Roster Policy?
Los Angeles, CA The Full Disclosure Network® has captured on video the conflicting interpretations of the Elections Code made by Orange County and Los Angeles County Registrars of Voters. The Orange County Official claims that "public voting records are confidential" therefore denied citizens and the media access to the voter rosters that document how many individual voters signed in and received a ballot at the polling precincts.
Watch his 5 minute video featuring Neal Kelley Orange County Registrar of Voters and Dean Logan Registrar of Voters for Los Angeles County, the largest County in the nation.
Viewers are asked to participate in an online opinion survey and to leave their comments as to who they believe is telling the truth. According to the Secretary of State the the L A County Registrar, voter rosters are public documents and record of the elections that are available to the public..

Breaking News: Lawsuit Charges L.A. County Supervisors Violated Brown Act
WHAT AGAIN?
Zev Yaroslavsky Mark Ridley-Thomas
Mike Antonovich Don Knabe Gloria Molina
Los Angeles, CA County Supervisor Michael Antonovich is making an urgent plea to the California Lawmakers to pass legislation to allow the Board to hold private meetings with U. S. President Barack Obama and California Governor Jerry Brown. In this 3 minute video Antonovich explains the need to legalize "private meetings" that exclude the public and public comment. Such meetings currently violate California’s long standing Ralph M. Brown Act that mandates all official meetings to be open to the public with opportunity for comment when the public’s business is being deliberated.
Lawsuit Filed Against County Board
This month the County Board of Supervisors became the target of a Superior Court Lawsuit filed by Californians Aware, a Sacramento based, non profit watchdog organization dedicated to preserving open and transparent government.
According to the Verified Petition for Writ of Mandate and Injunction filed under Case No. BS135835 the Californians Aware lawsuit is seeking Declaratory Relief for Violations of the Ralph M. Brown Act for closed meetings held in September of 2011 that involved Governor Jerry Brown and the five members of the Board of Supervisors and others who may not have been authorized to attend or participate in legally held closed Board meetings.
Terry Francke, (left) is a highly respected legal expert on the California Ralph M Brown Act. He is the General Counsel for Californians Aware. He signed the Verified Petition under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of California that the lawsuit and the allegations and exhibits from the public records are believed to be true and accurate. Over the years Francke has represented news organizations and citizen groups who have had difficulty obtaining public records and access to government meetings. Serving as co-counsel with Francke are Dennis Winston, President Californians Aware and .Kelly Avilas of La Verne, California.
Supervisors Call For URGENT Closed Session
But the Board of Supervisors has posted this notice of a scheduled closed session on Wednesday, February 22, 2012 to discuss the lawsuit and four other items. The Board has not indicated what staff members may be present during the proposed five hour meeting.but there are five issues before them.
Judicial Conflict of Interest?
Apparently State Superior Court Judge Ann I Jones has not yet recognized the same urgency as the Board of Supervisors,for she has scheduled the first conference hearing on the lawsuit for July 6, 2012. Although the County of Los Angeles is a party to this case, and Judge Jones has admitted receiving double benefits from the County of Los Angeles on top of her State salary and benefits, she has not recused herself from sitting on the case. Like Judge Jones, all State Superior Court Judges in Los Angeles have been receiving double benefits from the County, these benefits were held to be illegal in Sturgeon v County of Los Angeles a landmark lawsuit won by the Judicial Watch public interest legal organization in 2008.
Activists Encouraged By Lawsuit
Jon Nahhas is a Marina del Rey resident and boating activist who has been critical of the Board of Supervisors for repeatedly violating the Brown Act while conducting the public's business. In particular the County's massive re-development projects on County-owned land in Marina del Rey. Nahhas has complained that County residents have been prohibited from speaking on issues to be voted upon by the Board involving proposed developments . He told Full Disclosure "the Californians Aware lawsuit comes at the most opportune time when the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors are continuing to ignore the parameters of the Brown Act and conduct the people’s business in private. The federal government is already imposing sanctions on the County Probation Department and investigating several other County departments. The County Sheriff’s Department has been caught planting evidence and falsifying documents. The Supervisors have been accused of tampering with the County’s Planning Divison employees. Key documents in Los Angeles County Offices have gone missing and computers that would have stored the data have suddenly broken. Many more scandals are slowly coming to the surface as the Board of Supervisors continue to deter public inquiry by limiting public speaking at Board Meetings. Terry Francke and Californians Aware are forcing the County Supervisors to comply with our laws in California and hopefully moving them in a direction of an open government."

Short Story: Of Rats and Crystals (Part 4)
March 1, 2018 by Elizabeth Drake
You can get the first parts of the short story here at Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3.
Of Rats and Crystals (Part 4)
Some said that Oskelez was a city without law and order. That wasn’t true. The laws of Humankind, Elvenkind, and Dwarvenkind were all based on the fears and priorities of their people, and they shared more similarities than differences. But the laws, rules, and regulations that governed within the obsidian walls of Oskelez were not crafted by any of the world’s mortal races.
Demons walked the boulevards and gardens in their true forms. The dead were raised by dark magic and enslaved alongside the living. But there were rules, even if most mortal minds couldn’t understand the reasoning behind them.
How long Oskelez had existed was a mystery to all but its Founders, and the few beings who remembered them spoke of them in hushed tones. But by their will were the laws of the city written in the surface of its obsidian outer walls and basalt-paved streets, in a language that only demons were able to speak aloud, and even then only on nights when there was no moon in the sky.
The Gods of Light and Justice, on those occasions when they allowed themselves to descend from the Divine Realm to the world, spoke of it to their followers by warning them to stay away. For thousands and thousands of years, Holy Kingdoms would rise and fall in the lands surrounding it, with armies of warrior-priests and devout paladins.
The foolish and prideful thought it was their destiny to smite Os-Kelez into oblivion for the glory of the Divines. The wise and the patient and the humble knew that their task was to watch, and to wait, and when necessary to contain.
Veronika didn’t know any of this. Being born and raised in the city, she accepted it as normal and knew little of the outside world other than that they hated and feared Oskelez. By her reckoning, “vampire” was just a stage in life, like “childhood” or “puberty”, that came after “adulthood” and meant you had to drink the blood of the living. Not becoming a vampire was viewed in much the same way as children or teenagers not surviving to adulthood. Some children survived to adulthood, some didn’t. Some adults made it to vampirehood, some didn’t.
Every time she met the latest incarnation of Plague-Emperor Skitterclaw, she humored him for a little while. Then killed him. At her first encounter, it was simply because she knew she had a better chance of survival with the Pest-Hunters than as a solitary orphan child.
Her reasons as a vampire were equally practical. She preferred blood from healthy victims. A devastating plague meant there would be less to feed from, and their blood would be filthy to say nothing of the taste.
She didn’t really believe he was truly the God-King of all rats and destined to bring plague and death to thousands. But why take the risk?
“Skitterclaw, I grow weary of this,” called Vordrack over the wailing. “The Howlers have gathered, and the acid is ready. It’s time to begin.”
“Begin what?” Veronika hissed in Skitterclaw’s ear.
Skitterclaw hissed back. “We release the catch that drops open the bottom of the cage. Not being very bright, the Howlers follow the frightened subject as they fall into the liquid. Vordrack has a spell that condenses spirits into crystals that he has all sorts of uses for, but the spirits have to be submerged in acid for it to work.”
Veronika surmised that the victims’ skeletal remains were just a handy byproduct. Necromancers had many uses for those, too. Still, as a grand-master alchemist, she couldn’t help but feel some professional curiosity. She’d love to compare notes with Vordrack about crystallizing ethereal spirits, if only she didn’t suspect he’d enslave her at the first opportunity.
“What role do you play in all this?” Veronika asked Skitterclaw. “Why does he need you?”
“Well, he says it’s because I’m small and light enough to run along the chains that hold the cage up so I can go whisper things to the one in the cage to optimize their fear. But I suspect it’s really for the prestige of working with I, Skitterclaw, God-King of…”
Veronika interrupted, sick and tired of hearing his full title. “You mean you’re just here to taunt whoever’s about to be dropped into acid?”
“Oh, Vordrack’s got this whole theory about how there’s seven different flavors of fear that the howlers can taste, and it results in different crystals. You’ve not exactly reacted according to script, so he’s probably not going to get the ones he’s after today.”
“No,” she said, glaring at him. “But he’ll get something!”
She squeezed her hand tighter, driving her claws into his flesh and drawing blood until he let out a shriek. Then she stuck her hand between the bars of the cage and dropped him.
As he fell, the Howlers locked on to his scream and whooshed down to surround him.
Veronika wasn’t sure what happened next. Perhaps his familiar drowning in acid stunned him. Perhaps he was trying to rush the spirit-crystallization spell because the sudden timing of the howlers’ descent caught him off-guard. Perhaps both at once, to varying degrees. But whatever the reason, Vordrack fell to his knees on the balcony above, and the cage-bottom remained solidly closed.
At least for the moment.
Thinking fast, Veronika slipped out of her long black dress.
Shadowviper silk was stylish and comfortable, at least to vampires (no one living had ever managed to wear it). It was also more elastic than wool and almost as strong as chain-mail.
She tied the sleeves of the dress in a tight knot around a bar at the base of the cage, then took the hem of the gown and tied it around her waist. A brief search revealed the catch that released the hinged cage floor. She took a deep breath and thought a silent prayer.
Gods of darkness, pain, and suffering, we souls of mortal races and undead will one day have our revenge at the end of time by swarming your horrifying magnificence like millions of tiny locusts. Though you may swat at us and destroy thousands, you will die choking on us as we enter oblivion with the satisfaction of having finally destroyed you.
It was a common prayer in Os-Kelez, often said for good luck when one was about to attempt something risky. Its origins were lost to history.
Veronika kicked the catch.
Nothing happened.
She cursed and kicked it again. Still nothing.
“What’s that?” Vordrack called. “Who’s there?”
Veronika gave a panicked gasp. The necromancer was coming back to his senses. Then she yelped as the floor gave way beneath her .
“The fear crystals! Quickly, Skitterclaw! Drain the pit before they dissolve!”
Veronika was hanging several feet below the bottomless cage, naked except for her leather boots. Retracting her claws so as not to shred the very fabric that her unlife depended on, Veronika pulled herself up the shadowviper-silk rope until she gripped the bars of the cage, then swung herself up onto the top of the cage with her vampire reflexes.
The crystals must have been important. Vordrack lurched to his feet and scrambled toward a panel of small levers, ignoring Veronika. She didn’t think she could avoid his notice forever. Best to get his attention on her terms.
She untied the dress from around her waist. Once she was free, she dashed toward the balcony with supernatural speed and grace and along the web of chains the cage was suspended from. Vordrack flipped a rat-sized lever with his finger, then turned to look down into the pit just as Veronika leaped upwards at him. She caught his chin with the hob-nailed heel of her leather boot in a flying kick.
Veronika stood over the unconscious necromancer still in nothing but her boots and resisted the urge to sink her fangs into him and feed. As hungry as she was, she knew having a necromancer’s blood inside her was a bad idea.
Killing him would be easy, but making sure that a necromancer of his caliber stayed dead would not.
At least, it wouldn’t be if there weren’t a pit of acid handy.
After retrieving her shadowviper-silk dress, Veronika made sure Vordrack’s mortal remains were entirely dissolved. It took longer than she thought, especially his bones. But given the likelihood that Vordrack had made arrangements to return as a Lich, she knew dissolving his bones could not be overlooked.
On her way out after completing the morbid task, Veronika came across what she recognized as an alchemical laboratory, and her curiosity perked up. Grand-Master alchemists were very secretive. She’d likely never get another chance to examine a rival’s laboratory. Not to mention she’d missed her appointment to get the reagents she wanted for her own experiments. She was owed some recompense.
She suppressed the growing urgency of her blood-hunger and searched the laboratory. Her patience was rewarded. A handwritten leather-bound tome entitled The sublimation of ethereal spirit essences and their applications was on a workbench surrounded by several small piles of crystals. The drawers, shelves, and cabinets yielded plenty of other rare and expensive reagents as well, along with a selection of exotic and valuable books.
His tools and instruments were tempting, but she had no way of carrying them.
A window opened out to the moonless nighttime skyline of Oskelez. Veronika smiled. With her pockets full of condensed howler crystals, in all seven flavors of fear, she swooped into the night in search of prey.

February 28, 2018 by Elizabeth Drake
You can get the first parts of the short story here at Part 1, and Part 2.
Over the past several months, Veronika had been scouring the subterranean shops and nighttime street vendors of Oskelez. She was nearing a breakthrough in her alchemical research, but she needed some exotic ingredients. Rare poisonous mushrooms that only grew on top of the graves of murderers, and a supply of volcanic minerals rich in fossilized demon bones.
One of her regular suppliers had claimed to have a connection that could arrange for a shipment of what she needed. The price they were asking was high, but given what they were supplying, Veronika agreed it was fair. But she refused to pay until she received the goods.
She’d been on her way to meet them and make the transaction when, well, all she remembered was a bright purple light, and a humming sound. Next thing she knew, she woke up in the cage.
There was no way to be sure how much time had passed since her capture as there were no windows, but as a vampire, she was grateful for that. She estimated that she’d been taken two or three nights ago based on how strong her blood-hunger was getting. Whoever her captor or captors were, they weren’t allowing her to feed.
A handful of ghostly white, vaguely humanoid shapes came through the walls, howling and wailing and hovering in the air around the iron cage. They were fixated on the rat, but recoiled whenever they got too close to the iron.
Howler spirits? She’d never seen one in person before, but she’d read about them.
But they could hardly be considered true demons. For one thing, they weren’t smart enough. They fed on fear the way mosquitoes fed on blood and were about as intelligent. Whomever and whatever her captors were, on the other hand, were at least crafty enough to build a cage and suspend it over a pit of acid.
Maybe they keep the Howlers as pets? That seemed to Veronika like something a true demon might do. Then they’ll want a steady source of fear to keep their Howlers fed.
She thought about the arrangement: the source of fear was kept in a cage, and suspending it over acid amplified the captive’s fear. But only if they identify it as acid, from the smell. Any novice alchemist would recognize it as sulfuric acid. But would a non-alchemist know? They might guess it was just filthy liquid. Is fear of drowning that common? Perhaps if a heavy iron cage prevented you from swimming to the surface, it would be.
But then the cage itself is made of pure iron, to repel them when they swarmed around the source of fear. Why would that be?
“Skitterclaw!” A deep voice echoed off the stone walls, raised to be louder than all the howling that was still going on. “What’s taking you so long? Return to me, now!”
Veronika looked up. Ten or twelve feet above where the cage was suspended there was a balcony of sorts. But her view of it was partly blocked by the heavy iron chains the cage was hanging from. But there was someone standing there in the unmistakable black robes and bonework accessories of a Necromancer.
Now Veronika was afraid.
As the living-dead, vampires were vulnerable to necromantic magic. And certain necromancers were known to exploit this fact in rather perverse ways.
Although it was impossible for a vampire to disobey a command from the Master vampire of their Blood-Circle, they still retained the free will to agree or disagree with such commands, and a Master vampire that ruled a Circle for their own benefit, rather than considering the needs and well-being of their Circle, would eventually have their orders creatively interpreted in ways that would bring about their downfall.
But a necromancer could, given sufficient time, take a vampire’s mind away little by little until they were mentally no more than an obedient zombie.
Veronika began brainstorming ways to rapidly commit suicide that would kill her before the necromancer finished a complete sentence. But no. Without access to sunlight, nothing she could do to herself would kill her that fast.
Her only hope was to conceal the fact that she was a vampire. A desperate plan, to say the least.
“Skitterclaw?” The necromancer had a deep bass voice. “Why are you still in the cage?”
“May I answer him without you dropping me?” The self-proclaimed God-King of all rats whispered to Veronika from her clawed hand. He was close enough that she could hear him over the howling.
“That depends on how you answer,” she said. “If you betray me, do you think you can do it thoroughly enough to ensure I don’t survive?”
“Umm….”
“Because if you do betray me, and I survive…” Then I’ll be a mindless plaything, she thought with horror. But she hoped that the way she trailed-off implied a threat of vengeance.
The howler spirits were centered on Veronika now, instead of Scitterclaw. She didn’t care. Spiritual mosquitoes lapping up small amounts of her fear were the least of her worries.
“I, Plague-Emperor Skitterclaw,” the rat called up to the balcony, “God-King of all rats and faithful servant of the goddess of pestilence, am not yet finished. I shall return to your side when I am good and ready. I shall not be rushed.”
For a few moments, there was no reply. Just more howling from the swarm of spirits around the cage.
“What do you mean, you’re not done?” The necromancer sounded incredulous. “The Howlers are here.”
Veronika held up a finger to get Skitterclaw’s attention.
“Who is that?” She whispered, holding him close to her face she he could hear her over the racket of the spirits.
“That’s Necromancer Lord Vordrack,” said Skitterclaw. “I persuaded him to help me spread plague and disease in the name of the goddess by pointing out that he’d have a plentiful supply of dead to raise.”
Veronika guessed Vordrack had been the one doing the persuading, and the rat had twisted the truth in his mind to support his delusions.
“You’re his familiar, aren’t you?” She asked.
“Only until I have no further use for him,” said Skitterclaw.
You can get the first part of the story here.
Veronika had been born in the city of Oskelez over a century ago. Her parents were slaves, and she’d never known them. She’d been raised by the Pest-Hunters: skinny men and women who wore yellow rags and odd-shaped hats. Her earliest memories were of being made to crawl into small spaces to catch rats. Sometimes it was a warehouse. Sometimes it was a luxurious and terrifying residence. A few times, she was sent rat-catching inside some kind of complex machinery.
Sometimes the rats were being caught because they were pests. Other times it was because someone or something wanted them for food. Having known no other life, she didn’t think there was anything strange or tragic about her situation. She got good at catching rats and came to enjoy it, until the day one of the rats made her a deal. She’d been six years old at the time.
The talking rat offered to teach Veronika magic if she would spare him and bring him some chalk and candles. She didn’t trust the talking rat or think that giving it what it wanted was a good idea. She figured any sorcerer foolish enough to change themselves into a rat without a way to change back probably wasn’t a very good teacher.
But she was curious, and decided to do what the rat asked just to see what would happen. She guessed that either he’d turn himself into a human again and skip out on his promise to teach her magic (not that she cared to learn from him), or he’d make some mistake with the spell and burn the whole place down (she was very good at finding escape routes, having spent her whole life crawling through nooks and crannies).
When she returned after scavenging everything he’d asked for, the talking rat had introduced himself as Plague Emperor Skitterclaw, God-King of all rats and faithful servant to the Goddess of Pestilence. He warned her that he was preparing a ritual spell to bring death to the humans who had been hunting and killing his people, but as thanks for her aid, Veronika would be spared.
She agreed. But only so that the talking rat would let his guard down. She ran him through with her steel dagger as soon as his back was turned.
The Pest-Hunters weren’t kind, but they weren’t cruel either. And with them, she had a purpose. If the talking rat’s ritual-spell would really bring death to them all and leave Veronika on her own, she wouldn’t last a day in Oskelez.
In the century-and-a-half or so that followed, Veronika had grown into adulthood, survived by her wits, made dangerous enemies, bargained with dark powers to survive, become a vampire, and had mastered the practice of apothecarial alchemy.
Once or twice a decade throughout her eventful life and subsequent undead existence, Veronika would encounter a talking rat that claimed to be Plague Emperor Skitterclaw, God-King of all rats and faithful servant to the Goddess of Pestilence.
The other talking rats of Os-Kelez always advised her not to take them seriously.
Veronika ignored the talking rat and paced her cage, trying to focus her thoughts.
As a master-class alchemist, she could tell that her cage was iron, not steel. Easy to magnetize, prone to rust, and softer than steel. But not soft enough that she could bend the bars, even with supernatural vampire-strength. When designers opted for pure iron rather than charcoal-infused steel, the most common reason was that pure iron repelled ethereal undead. Not physical undead, like zombies or ghouls. But ghosts, wraiths, and other such spirits absolutely hated the stuff the same way shape-shifters hated silver.
Did that mean something, Veronika wondered? Why would her captors keep her, a vampire, in such a cage?
She hissed a curse under her breath. The delusional talking rat who thought he was Plague Emperor Skitterclaw, God-King of all rats and faithful servant of some-goddess-or-other, was distracting her from her train of thought with his incessant chatter.
“Are you some manner of demon that feeds on annoyance, rather than fear? What is it? What do you want?”
The rat blinked at her. “Few have dared to take such a tone with Plague Emperor Skitterclaw and lived,” he said.
With lightning-quick movement, Veronika’s snatched the rat in her hand and extended her vampire-claws just enough to poke into his skin without penetrating and drawing blood. She held the little pest right in front of her angry, fang-bearing glare.
“Fewer still have been dropped into a pit of sulfuric acid and lived,” she snarled, “no matter what kind of God-King they think they are.”
“Oh! Err, yes, good point! Very true! And if I may take this moment to beg your forgiveness, oh revered and exalted goddess! Your humble and faithful servant am I, and I most fearfully prostrate myself before you for failing to recognize you in your present vessel of incarnation. How may I serve your will, oh goddess?”
Veronika shook her head. “I’m not going to pretend to be a pestilence goddess just to humor your delusions of grandeur! Just give me the peace and quiet I need to think of a way to escape.”
Just then, an ear-splitting howl echoed through the stone walls of the chamber. It was shortly joined by several other identical howls.
“So much for peace and quiet,” she said.
“Err, sorry about that, ma’am,” said the rat. “It’s just that I was rather terrified of being dropped into a pit of acid a second ago, and now they’ve sensed my fear and are coming to feed.”
Good, thought Veronika, let’s see just what these ‘fear demons’ are.
One of my husband’s New Year’s resolutions was to write a short story a month. He’s not a romance novel writer, but he did write the story taking place in the same world as all my novels do, so I had to share it.
“The thing about demons that feed on fear is they need their victims to be afraid,” said the rat. “If they went ahead and killed you, you wouldn’t be afraid of them anymore, see? That’s no good for them.”
“I see. And why are you telling me this?” Veronika pursed her lips as she paced the floor of the spiked iron cage, suspended by a web of chains, over a pit of sulfuric acid. The rat was unaware that Veronika was a vampire.
“Don’t you see?” The rat seemed quite concerned. “By not taking them seriously enough to fear them, they’ve got no reason to keep you alive!”
Veronika gave an exasperated sigh. “Oh no,” she said as sarcastically as she could, hoping the rat would pick up on it. “That means they’ll kill me. Eek. Whatever shall I do? Oh, wait. Now that I’m afraid, they’ll spare me. Whew. That’s a relief. Oh no. Now I’ve gone and realized I don’t need to be afraid. I’m doomed. And so on, and so on, ad nauseam. Maybe what they really feed on is the frustration of circular decision loops, and that’s why they claim to feed on fear.”
The rat blinked at her. “Sorry. You’ve lost me.”
Veronika sighed. You could enchant a rat to imbue it with the power of speech, she reflected, but that didn’t mean it was smart.
Veronika had read a number of things about demons and was jaded enough to figure that most of it was disinformation written and published by demons themselves. The same way she sometimes ran across vampire-hunters who tried to use garlic against her. That one never got old.
Of course, there were many different kinds of demons just like there were many different kinds of fish. One could say “fish are poisonous”. Was that True? Or False? Neither. It was too general. “Demons feed on fear” was a statement in the same category, Veronika figured. For all she knew a demon was lurking somewhere siphoning her fear into its gullet right now. Maybe that’s why she didn’t feel terrified ot being kept in a cage over a pit of acid.
Well, if that were true, it sure made it easier to keep calm while trying to think of a solution.
“Look, Mr. Talking Rat. What did you say your name was?”
The rat reared up on his hind legs. His face took on the most serious expression that was possible for a rat-face to have.
“I am Plague-Emperor Skitterclaw, God-King of all rats and faithful servant to the Goddess of Pestilence.”
Oh no, thought Veronika, not another one.

It was freezing, and we spoke in a coffee shop. I had my legs crossed and I stared with longing into the distance as a matter of effect. I said: “Doesn't he understand? People like me, geniuses—great, mad geniuses—are prone to failures because we do not accept the common notions of society? Doesn't he understand? I'm not like the others.”
S. was laughing, choking on his Arabica brew, slapping his leg. “If your neck were long enough you'd suck your own cock!” He continued laughing and spilled some coffee on his shirt. “You'd walk around with pubic hair between your teeth!”
"You idiot!" I said. "Can't you see I'm in love? The supreme human condition."
"With yourself? Ha, ha."
"With him! With Cloudhead!" I reached over and pushing his shoulder. "We were at an art gallery, and someone had an installation where we had to push a trolley and collect dildos in it, and you had to pass through a room decorated as a forest of dildos, and I said: Well! If only you were this endowed! And he left me there, with a trolley full of dildos. Do you know how humiliating that was? To endure that alone?"
"Pushing a trolley of dildos seems normal with a companion?"
"You idiot!" I said. "You don't understand! Can't you see I'm in love?"
"Use a dildo, then!"
"It's no use," I said. I stared back into the distance. "It's no use. It is not the genital but the person it is attached to. A genital alone is no use. Will you sign a mortgage with just a vulva, I ask you? No, of course not."
"Vulvas can't sign their names," S. said, feigning sadness by shaking his head and making the sign of the cross. "But I know for a fact they can hold pens."S. started laughing again, waving his cup of coffee precariously.
"You're a pervert," I said. "Minds such as yours cannot comprehend complex motivations. Love for you is poking at a hole. It is a meeting of the minds, you ape."
"Just say you're sorry," he said.
"No, no, that won't work," I said. "That involves me saying I'm wrong and I'm not wrong. I was telling the truth."
S. began to pretend he was jacking off with an invisible cock between his legs.
"Whatever," I said. "Barbarian."
S. pretended to come. He shook violently and moaned. Then, he pretended to fall gently asleep.

Coronation Street Scene of the Week
Coronation Street Scene of the Week (Dec. 19/10)
December 19, 2010 Dorothy Leave a comment
Trash Kitties
Tuesday at the Rovers, Trev says, “Hey guess what I found today? Two little kittens in a wheelie bin.” Janice says, “aah, really? Where are they now?” In a cardboard box at her flat, Trev says. No one else says anything, except to comment on Janice’s allergy to cats, out of Trev’s earshot. Living kittens were put inside a bin destined for the compactor end of a garbage truck. And no one comments on it??
It happens in real life. There are people uncaring and cruel enough to find that a way to solve their unwanted kitten and puppy dilemma. But they don’t do it thinking “a nice garbage collector will surely find them if I put them here”. They think this is an easy and cost-free way to get rid of animals. And it is, for them. It’s not for the animals that are crushed to death by the compactor. It’s also not for the garbage collector who may realize too late that a live animal is being crushed.
So if ever there was a moment crying out for a “public service” line to be written in easily and effectively, this was it! Janice saying “Whaatt? Kittens put in a wheelie bin? What pillock would do that?” would actually be more in character for her and would quickly convey that this is far from an “aah, cute little kitten-whittens” moment.
Janice may be allergic to cats, but that does not mean she is blind to animal cruelty. Even if the writers wanted Janice to appear so smitten with Trev that all she can do is be sweet and gooey, there were other people standing there. Leanne, Audrey – somebody should have said it, for the sake of realism as well as because it needed to be said.
Kittens and Cats PSA moment
I know from my interviews with Street production people that they do not put PSA content in just for the sake of “educating” the public. If social issues and education can be incorporated realistically into a plotline or character development, they do it. But they don’t want “clunk – here’s your educational bit.” That’s fair enough, and that’s good storytelling.
But here, in this brief scene setting up Janice and Trev’s relationship, was the perfect opportunity to get a plug in about responsible animal treatment. With the number of dogs and cats with real roles on Coronation Street over the years, I have always assumed there were “animal people” in the writing and production staff. So where were they the day this storyline was workshopped around the table?

Manufacturing ISM INDEX Shows Growth… or Does it?
The Manufacturing ISM index came in at 52.9 for the month of August, that is an increase from 48.9 the month prior, the headlines will shout that’s a 9% growth in manufacturing! LOL, NO, not even close.
Look, Manufacturing fell off a cliff after being in decline for years and years in this country. An index value of 50 indicates that the fall stopped, at least for now, and anything over 50 means that some growth is occurring over the last reporting period, and that’s what this report says. But it’s misleading for what it doesn’t say, and that’s that manufacturing is at such a low level that even cash for clunkers is enough to bump it up for a short time period. But cash for clunkers is now over. Is our manufacturing economy really now growing, and is a 50%+ market rally really pricing in reality?
Here’s Econoday:
The ISM's manufacturing index burst over the dead-even 50 level for the first time since the beginning of the recession, at 52.9 in August vs. 48.9 in July. New orders led the advance, at 64.9 vs. August's 55.3 and pointing to rising business activity in the months ahead. Production was also very strong in August, at 61.9 for a 4 point gain and pointing to gains in durable goods shipments and total manufacturing sales. Backlogs also increased, at 52.5 vs. 50.0 in July. But manufacturers are not stocking up, instead they continue to draw down inventories where the index is a very weak 34.4 vs. 33.5 in July. Note that future gains in the inventories index, a seeming necessity given rising production needs, will help give the overall index a big boost. Respondents in fact think inventories at their customers' firms are too low, with the customer inventories down 3.5 points to 39.0. Deliveries slowed substantially, up more than 5 points to indicate that current production needs are stressing what has become a pared down supply chain. Production activity and the gain in orders has yet to boost employment where the index only inched forward to a still sub-50 level of 46.4.
All the strength here is flowing through to prices where the prices paid index jumped 10 points to 65.0, an indication that buyers are bidding up prices for raw materials. No doubt boosted by cash-for-clunkers and gains in transportation, the manufacturing recovery is on the way and together with the gain in the pending home sales index indicate that two key sectors are on the acceleration. Stocks jumped in immediate reaction to today's 10 o'clock data.
Wow, look at that chart! Heck, we’re right back where we were, right??? This is how misleading these indexes are… they do not reflect reality as they do not show you what is happening to the base.
Compare the chart above to this chart of manufacturing sector output which is also an index value, but one that’s tied to the manufacturing level in the year 1992:
Or to this chart showing manufacturing sector output expressed in yoy percent change:
You see, the charts above are indexed to a base year, but the ISM index number is based to nothing but the period preceding it. Now, which charts more closely show reality???
There is no doubt that the above charts of manufacturing output paint a far truer picture of what’s occurring because the index value has no connection to the base, it’s just plus or minus over time! So, for real meaningful growth to occur, the ISM must be above 50 and stay there for an extended time.
To confirm that hypothesis, one need only look at the shipping indexes which are simply still scary.
We can also look at the number of people employed in manufacturing durable goods, for example, and when we do we find that the United States currently employs about the same number of people for manufacturing as we did back in 1947! Now, you say that’s because we are way more efficient and productive? But remember that it requires people to earn money to buy things. It takes INCOME to service DEBT. The service sector has been growing while the manufacturing sector has been shrinking. Service sector jobs do not pay, on average, as much as manufacturing sector jobs. Yet DEBT had been skyrocketing until just recently. It takes INCOME to service DEBT.
We can also look at durable goods ORDERS and this is expressed in millions of dollars. Here you can see the cliff dive and the recent turn upwards:
So, you must ask yourself if the market is actually pricing in the future, 50%+ priced in already, or is it actually just disconnected from reality?
You know what they say about statistics…

James Bond "Casino Royale" Behind The Scenes Video
I found this cool video of behind the scenes work for Casino Royale on YouTube. In it you see the human side of Bond, as Daniel Craig takes a moment to comment on the progress of the movie, and give some quick qips.
James Bond "Casino Royale" Trailer Video - BBC Gives Rave Review Of New Bond
I just found this article by the BBC which is a review of the new movie Casino Royale, the 21st movie in the James Bond series, which has seen each actor, save for two (George Lazenby and Timothy Dalton) go on to super stardom, or in the case of Pierce Brosnan, solidify his super star status.
Paul Arendt, the review writer, reports that Craig is not just a good Bond, he's a great Bond. We'll all know starting this Friday, November 17th.
The new bond is Daniel Craig -- and he's blond. This minor difference does nothing to diminish the quality of Bond or the film, according to the BCC. Here's the review, and the movie preview below:

Bob Barker - American Icon and Host Of "Price Is Right" Retires - Video
I now know I've been around a bit when this happens. I have grown up with Bob Barker, patted myself on the back for rightly guessing a price, dreaming that I was the winner of the showcase, and drolling over the Price Is Right girls. Well, the last part of that remains, but Barker, the real symbol of the show and an American icon, has retired. Here's an article by E! Online and selected YouTube Clips to celebrate Bob Barker.
Bob Barker Retiring
by Natalie Finn - E!Online
Tue, 31 Oct 2006 06:44:50 PM PST
The price isn't going to be quite as right come next June.
Bob Barker announced Tuesday he will retire in 2007 after 50 years in television, 35 of which he spent as the host of The Price Is Right.
"I will be 83 years old on Dec. 12, and I've decided to retire while I'm still young," the famed daytime personality told the Associated Press. "I've gone on and on to this ancient age because I've enjoyed it. I've thoroughly enjoyed it, and I'm going to miss it."
While Barker has considered hanging it up for the past 10 years, he said he's been having too much fun to walk away for good, but he figured reaching his golden anniversary was an "appropriate" time.
"I'm just reaching the age where the constant effort to be there and do the show physically is a lot for me," he said, sounding a bit like another TV icon who announced his intention to slow down after half a century on the air, 60 Minutes' Mike Wallace.
Barker had a mild stroke in May 2002 and had prostate surgery six weeks later—none of which caused him to miss a show, mind you.
Since The Price Is Right premiered Sept. 4, 1972, with Barker enticing people for the first time to "come on down," he has only missed three episodes (back in 1974). The longest running game show on the air is currently on in two half-hour installments every weekday, with the later one averaging 5.5 million viewers a day, per Nielsen Media Research.
"We knew this day would come, but that doesn't make it any easier," CBS Corp. president Leslie Moonves said in a statement. "Bob Barker is a daytime legend, an entertainment icon and one of the most beloved television personalities of our time."
The former Miss Universe and Miss USA Pageant host got his start in radio before being discovered by eventual This Is Your Life host Ralph Edwards, who said he liked the sound of Barker's voice. Barker went on to host the TV game show Truth or Consequences from 1956 until 1975, overlapping with Price for a few years.
A CBS spokesperson told Reuters that Price will go on after Barker's departure, but "it's premature to discuss any transition plans right now. Our focus now will be giving Bob a proper sendoff." A CBS prime-time special celebrating the man is also in the works, he said.
Barker's advice for whomever signs on to replace him is this: Memorize everything.
"The games have to be just like riding a bicycle," he said, referring to the show's numerous pricing games (80 at last count) in which contestants make bids to win larger prizes, like cars and trips.
"Then he will be relaxed enough to have fun with the audience—to get the laughs with his contestants and make the show more than just straight games—to make it a lot of fun."
Well, Barker should know.
While the silver-haired emcee has always had a smile for his studio audience and millions of at-home viewers, it wasn't too long ago that Barker was accused of enjoying his hosting duties a little too much.

Rolling Stones Classic Song "Miss You" Video and Lyrics
This amazing song is almost 30 years old, yet it is still as new as tommorrow's sunrise. It's a classic and yet one more example of why the Rolling Stones are the kings of rock. It's rythmic, soulful, and yet guitar-dominated.
Ive been holding out so long
Ive been sleeping all alone
Lord I miss you
Ive been hanging on the phone
I want to kiss you
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh oooh
Well, Ive been haunted in my sleep
Youve been starring in my dreams
Ive been waiting in the hall
Been waiting on your call
When the phone rings
Its just some friends of mine that say,
Hey, whats the matter man?
Were gonna come around at twelve
With some puerto rican girls that are just dyin to meet you.
Were gonna bring a case of wine
Hey, lets go mess and fool around
You know, like we used to
Aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah
Aaah aaah aaah aaah
Oh everybody waits so long
Oh baby why you wait so long
Wont you come on! come on!
Ive been walking in central park
Singing after dark
People think Im crazy
Ive been stumbling on my feet
Shuffling through the street
Asking people, whats the matter with you boy?
Sometimes I want to say to myself
Sometimes I say
I wont miss you child
I guess Im lying to myself
Its just you and no one else
Lord I wont miss you child
Youve been blotting out my mind
Fooling on my time
No, I wont miss you, baby, yeah
Lord, I miss you child

Home Latest News Faculty Snow days create scheduling dilemma for faculty with children
Snow days create scheduling dilemma for faculty with children
Tucker Higgins
This January, the ten-year-old son of biology department chair Lizabeth Allison taught two sections of introductory biology. During each section, approximately 200 students watched as Andrew presented a PowerPoint he made examining the differences between a rock star and a cartoon character. This presentation was his own take on his mother’s subject for the day: molecular orientation. According to Allison, Andrew has been presenting to undergraduates since he was old enough to talk.
Latin American politics professor Susan Norman also brought her child to class this winter, but Valerie, a toddler, is still waiting to make her professorial debut. Instead, in one of Norman’s lectures on early 20th-century development, Valerie drew pictures and asked why she was not allowed to take off her pants.
Neither Andrew nor Valerie seemed to mind spending their snow days at the College of William and Mary. But many professors with small children faced difficult decisions this winter: local schools were often closed due to weather conditions, complicating childcare arrangements when the College remained open.
Vice President of Administration Anna B. Martin said that local schools generally close more readily than the College because schools must consider how easy it will be for buses to travel in the snow.
According to Superintendent Steven Constantino, the Williamsburg-James City County public school district closed local schools five times this winter, in addition to two unscheduled early releases. Deputy superintendent Olwen E. Herron said that the decision to cancel school operations is typically made at 4:30 a.m. the morning of the closure.
Because the College often remains open during school closures, snow days can create last-minute hassles for professors who have to arrange childcare. Although there is an independent day care on campus, children must be enrolled with advance notice. According to its website, the day care currently has a wait list.
The College does not have a campus-wide policy with regard to school closures on late notice, Martin said.
While some professors, like Allison and Norman, have responded to the snow day school closures by bringing their children to work with them, others have found alternative methods. Art and art history professor Nicole Santiago said that when her child’s school closes, she or her husband will take off work.
Women’s studies professor Jennifer Putzi, whose husband also works at the College, said that she and her husband try to work on separate days to manage childcare, but that this wasn’t possible this semester. She said that bringing a child to work can be disruptive.
“My students were great about it, but it definitely disrupts the class discussion,” Putzi said in an email.
Putzi also said that childcare problems can be uncomfortable for female professors.
“It is important to be able to establish my role as an authority and a scholar in my classroom and I think that is difficult for women to do with their children around, for lots of complicated reasons,” she said.
Monica Geary ’17, who is enrolled in Norman’s Latin American politics class, said that while having a child in the room during class did not seem to affect her professor’s teaching, it may have made students less attentive.
Art and art history department chair Catherine Levesque suggested that the College, or student volunteers, could do more to assist professors with children.
Earlier this year, Provost Michael Halleran offered his comments on the College’s inclement weather policy, which is available online.
Through a message Martin sent to the College community February 20, Halleran said that the decision to cancel normal school operations is made in consultation with the Emergency Management Team and the academic deans.
“Whenever we remain open during inclement weather, it is important that everyone always use his/her best judgment in deciding whether to come to campus,” Halleran said in the email.
English department chair Adam Potkay, whose son is now 21, said he hadn’t thought about this subject in a long time, but that in one instance he had brought his child to class with him.
“We just get along the best we can,” he said in an email.

Louisiana Firm Recalls Head Cheese Products For Possible Listeria Contamination
By USDA
Jan 3, 2007 - 4:32:49 PM
Recall Release CLASS I RECALL
FSIS-RC-001-2007 HEALTH RISK: HIGH
Congressional and Public Affairs
Amanda Eamich
WASHINGTON, Jan. 3, 2007 - Pap's Louisiana Cuisine., a Prairieville, La., firm, is voluntarily recalling approximately 290 pounds of head cheese products that may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service announced today.
The following products are subject to recall: [View Label]
* 5-pound packages of "VERON, HOG HEAD CHEESE." Each package bears the establishment number "EST. 13581" inside the USDA mark of inspection, as well as the Use-by/Sell-by date "022807."
The head cheese products were produced on December 27, 2006, and were distributed to retail establishments in Southeast Louisiana.
The problem was discovered through the FSIS routine microbiological testing. FSIS has received no reports of illnesses associated with consumption of this product.
Consumption of food contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes can cause listeriosis, an uncommon but potentially fatal disease. Healthy people rarely contract listeriosis. However, listeriosis can cause high fever, severe headache, neck stiffness and nausea. Listeriosis can also cause miscarriages and stillbirths, as well as serious and sometimes fatal infections in those with weakened immune systems, such as infants, the elderly and persons with HIV infection or undergoing chemotherapy.
Consumers and media with questions about the recall should contact company President Lawrence Louque at (225) 622-3262.
Consumers with food safety questions can "Ask Karen," the FSIS virtual representative available 24 hours a day at http://www.fsis.usda.gov/ Food_Safety_Education/ Ask_Karen/index.asp #Question. The toll-free USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline 1-888-MPHotline (1-888-674-6854) is available in English and Spanish and can be reached from l0 a.m. to 4 p.m. (Eastern Time) Monday through Friday. Recorded food safety messages are available 24 hours a day.
Recommendations For People At Risk For Listeriosis
Wash hands with warm, soapy water before and after handling raw meat and poultry for at least 20 seconds. Wash cutting boards, dishes and utensils with hot, soapy water. Immediately clean spills.
Keep raw meat, fish and poultry away from other food that will not be cooked. Use separate cutting boards for raw meat, poultry and egg products and cooked foods.
Do not eat hot dogs, luncheon meats, bologna or other deli meats unless reheated until steaming hot.
Do not eat refrigerated pate, meat spreads from a meat counter or smoked seafood found in the refrigerated section of the store. Foods that don't need refrigeration, like canned tuna and canned salmon, are safe to eat. Refrigerate after opening.
Do not drink raw (unpasteurized) milk and do not eat foods that have unpasteurized milk in them.
Do not eat salads made in the store such as ham salad, chicken salad, egg salad, tuna salad or seafood salad.
Do not eat soft cheeses such as Feta, quesco blanco, quesco fresco, Brie, Camembert cheeses, blue-veined cheeses and Panela unless it is labeled as made with pasteurized milk.
Use precooked or ready-to-eat food as soon as you can. Listeria can grow in the refrigerator. The refrigerator should be 40 °F or lower and the freezer 0 °F or lower. Use an appliance thermometer to check the temperature of your refrigerator.

When Harry reached the bottom of her stepladder, however, he did not set off for the hospital wing. He had no intention whatsoever of going there. Sirius had told him what to do if his scar hurt him again, and Harry was going to follow his advice: He was going straight to Dumbledore's office. He marched down the corridors, thinking about what he had seen in the dream��it had been as vivid as the one that had awoken him on Privet Drive.��He ran over the details in his mind, trying to make sure he could remember them.��He had heard Voldemort accusing Wormtail of making a blunder��but the owl had brought good news, the blunder had been repaired, somebody was dead��so Wormtail was not going to be fed to the snake��he, Harry, was going to be fed to it instead.�� ,����No. Neither that illustrious England nor that august Germany enter into the problem of Waterloo.

Harry stretched out his arms, lifted the egg in his wet hands, and opened it. The wailing, screeching sound filled the bathroom, echoing and reverberating off the marble walls, but it sounded just as incomprehensible as ever, if not more so with all the echoes. He snapped it shut again, worried that the sound would attract Filch, wondering whether that hadn't been Cedric's plan - and then, making him jump so badly that he dropped the egg, which clattered away across the bathroom floor, someone spoke. , ,����Each historian, according to his view of what constitutes a nation's progress, looks for these conditions in the greatness, wealth, freedom, or enlightenment of citizens of France or some other country. But not to mention the historians' contradictions as to the nature of this program- or even admitting that some one general program of these conditions exists- the facts of history almost always contradict that theory. If the conditions under which power is entrusted consist in the wealth, freedom, and enlightenment of the people, how is it that Louis XIV and Ivan the Terrible end their reigns tranquilly, while Louis XVI and Charles I are executed by their people? To this question historians reply that Louis XIV's activity, contrary to the program, reacted on Louis XVI. But why did it not react on Louis XIV or on Louis XV- why should it react just on Louis XVI? And what is the time limit for such reactions? To these questions there are and can be no answers. Equally little does this view explain why for several centuries the collective will is not withdrawn from certain rulers and their heirs, and then suddenly during a period of fifty years is transferred to the Convention, to the Directory, to Napoleon, to Alexander, to Louis XVIII, to Napoleon again, to Charles X, to Louis Philippe, to a Republican government, and to Napoleon III. When explaining these rapid transfers of the people's will from from one individual to another, especially in view of international relations, conquests, and alliances, the historians are obliged to admit that some of these transfers are not normal delegations of the people's will but are accidents dependent on cunning, on mistakes, on craft, or on the weakness of a diplomatist, a ruler, or a party leader. So that the greater part of the events of history- civil wars, revolutions, and conquests- are presented by these historians not as the results of free transferences of the people's will, but as results of the ill-directed will of one or more individuals, that is, once again, as usurpations of power. And so these historians also see and admit historical events which are exceptions to the theory..����It was a frightful hole, but she felt free....����The light fell full on M.

����Cosette?",����He felt that he no longer looked presentable, and feared that if he were now to approach the gentlemen-in-waiting in that plight he would not be admitted to the Emperor. But it was impossible to smarten oneself up or move to another place, because of the crowd. One of the generals who drove past was an acquaintance of the Rostovs', and Petya thought of asking his help, but came to the conclusion that that would not be a manly thing to do. When the carriages had all passed in, the crowd, carrying Petya with it, streamed forward into the Kremlin Square which was already full of people. There were people not only in the square, but everywhere- on the slopes and on the roofs. As soon as Petya found himself in the square he clearly heard the sound of bells and the joyous voices of the crowd that filled the whole Kremlin....����The street had suddenly become black..,����"Speak.".,����"Who?" asked M.

����Pierre was shown into the large, brightly lit dining room; a few minutes later he heard footsteps and Princess Mary entered with Natasha. Natasha was calm, though a severe and grave expression had again settled on her face. They all three of them now experienced that feeling of awkwardness which usually follows after a serious and heartfelt talk. It is impossible to go back to the same conversation, to talk of trifles is awkward, and yet the desire to speak is there and silence seems like affectation. They went silently to table. The footmen drew back the chairs and pushed them up again. Pierre unfolded his cold table napkin and, resolving to break the silence, looked at Natasha and at Princess Mary. They had evidently both formed the same resolution; the eyes of both shone with satisfaction and a confession that besides sorrow life also has joy..? Victor Hugo;����"Ah!" he exclaimed, pushing the dagger back in haste, "you have brought along your gendarme disguised as a bourgeois."!...,����But never had she felt so grieved for him or so much afraid of losing him. She recalled all her life with him and in every word and act of his found an expression of his love of her. Occasionally amid these memories temptations of the devil would surge into her imagination: thoughts of how things would be after his death, and how her new, liberated life would be ordered. But she drove these thoughts away with disgust. Toward morning he became quiet and she fell asleep.;,����At the same time, a sort of pale, thin, small, freckled, and youthful artisan, clad in a tattered blouse and patched trousers of ribbed velvet, and who had rather the air of a girl accoutred as a man than of a man, emerged from the lodge and said to Courfeyrac in a voice which was not the least in the world like a woman's voice:--!����"Karay?

He said to himself, that this child had a right to know life before renouncing it, that to deprive her in advance, and in some sort without consulting her, of all joys, under the pretext of saving her from all trials, to take advantage of her ignorance of her isolation, in order to make an artificial vocation germinate in her, was to rob a human creature of its nature and to lie to God.

He was fearless, not because he had grown used to being under fire (one cannot grow used to danger), but because he had learned how to manage his thoughts when in danger. He had grown accustomed when going into action to think about anything but what would seem most likely to interest him- the impending danger. During the first period of his service, hard as he tried and much as he reproached himself with cowardice, he had not been able to do this, but with time it had come of itself. Now he rode beside Ilyin under the birch trees, occasionally plucking leaves from a branch that met his hand, sometimes touching his horse's side with his foot, or, without turning round, handing a pipe he had finished to an hussar riding behind him, with as calm and careless an air as though he were merely out for a ride.

StoryCorps: Jerry Turnquist & Helen Childs
Helen Childs grew up in Elgin and attended Wing School during the Depression. Her husband was part of the student strike in 1935 to protest the treatment that teacher T.A. Larson was receiving. Now there is a school named after him. Elgin was known as the dairy capital, the city of churches and known for the Watch Factory. Helen and her husband worked at the Watch Factory as did many Elginites. There was a staff of 3000 people and it was like a city of its own. The tools needed to make the watches had to be manufactured at the Watch Factory. It even had its own magazine “The Watch Word.” Each department had its own reporter who would write about the happenings of the staff in his/her department. The Watch Company existed from 1888 until 1966. It never transitioned to battery watches, and also faced competition from cheaper, imported Swiss watches. “Circle of Time” is a documentary about the Watch Factory. Other memorable events in Elgin were the visits by John F. Kennedy and Robert Kennedy.

Can Zelda: Skyward Sword Save the Wii?
By Nadia Oxford on Sep 7, 2011 in Nintendo, Public Relations, Wii 0
If you’re the owner of a Wii, your system may currently seem…er, a bit dusty. The latter half of 2011 has not been booming with games for Nintendo’s little console. But cheer up! The dry spell is coming to an end!…if you like the Zelda series. The long-awaited Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword finally has a release date: November 20. Not a big surprise, given that it’s the Wii’s only tempting offer this holiday season outside of...
Are Pre-Order Bonuses Getting Worse?
By Nadia Oxford on Sep 7, 2011 in Business, Downloadable Content (DLC), Retail 1
Once upon a time, pre-order bonuses for video games were a fun way to score a little something on release day, thus amping up the buyer’s excitement over the game by a small but delicious notch. While some companies have a legacy of distributing classy pre-order stuff, most tactile bonus material involved keychains, or oversized shirts that were perfect for schlepping around the house in. Downloadable content (DLC) has helped elevate pre-order bonuses from an...
Should All Game Systems Be Created Equal?
By Nadia Oxford on Sep 6, 2011 in Game Design, Game Development, Wii U 3
All men and women are created equal, but anyone who observes this current generation of game systems should be able to discern very easily that not all consoles are engineered to stand shoulder-to-shoulder. There are multiple reasons why competing consoles come out at different heights: If one console hits the market early, the others might hang back for retooling so that its engineers can release something a little faster, a little more powerful. Or, sometimes a...
Is a New Nintendo 3DS Model Coming?
By Nadia Oxford on Sep 6, 2011 in Business, Nintendo, Nintendo 3DS 2
Summer is winding down, but the convention season is not quite over. The 2011 Tokyo Game Show (TGS) will be happening mid-September, and until it’s come and gone, we’re not going to put on our Christmas hats. This year’s TGS should be especially intriguing because there have been murmurs about Nintendo holding a press event a few days before the show starts. Naturally, our curiosity is red-hot. The Nintendo 3DS is on the market. E3 was all about...
5 Lessons the Super Nintendo Teaches
By Nadia Oxford on Sep 2, 2011 in Culture, Nintendo, Storytelling 0
The Super Nintendo Entertainment System turned 20 on August 23, 2011. There have been a lot of raised pints and touching memoirs written about Nintendo’s 16-bit grey girl, which isn’t a surprise: For many twenty- and- thirty-somethings, the Super Nintendo or “SNES” was an anchor in our formative years. The system’s solid library zipped us across racetracks, led us through epic side-scrolling adventures, and set us on role-playing...
Smartphones: Not the Answer for Nintendo
By Nadia Oxford on Sep 2, 2011 in Apple, Business, iPhone and iPad 0
Given the Wii’s skimpy holiday roster, the 3DS’s slow launch and subsequent price cut, and the big question mark that is the Wii U, it’s no wonder people have been penning funeral dirges for Nintendo. What they forget, however, and what long-time fans of Nintendo know well, is that this is hardly the Big N’s darkest hour. Nintendo has fallen out of favor a few times in its long history–though always while remaining comfortably in the...
Do We Need a Video Game Museum?
By Nadia Oxford on Sep 1, 2011 in Culture 0
Do we need a video game museum? Millions of schoolchildren across the United States have one resounding answer: “YES.” Not that school boards nationwide will break their legs tripping over themselves to fund trips to said museum, which is a shame, because video games are an ideal showcase for humanity’s multiple talents. Hardcore game collector Joe Santulli has a nomadic Video Game Museum that makes appearances at big events such as E3 and...
Single-Player Games: Dead in a Decade?
By Nadia Oxford on Sep 1, 2011 in Game Design, Game Development, Online Games 1
Do you like video games? Do you enjoy the single player gaming experience? If so, prepare yourself: Industry veteran Mark Cerny believes your preferred style of gaming is going to lay down, die, and fossilize within the next three to ten years. “I believe the traditional single-player game experience will be gone in three years,” Cerny predicted at a Sony-sponsored panel about the future of video games. “Right now you sit in your living room and...
Social Games Need to Grow Up
By Nadia Oxford on Aug 31, 2011 in Facebook, Game Design, Online Games 1
Though opinions on the matter do vary, social games have the same right to exist as any other breed of video game. True, Facebook/social gaming is still a relatively young genre, and therefore playing with them sometimes feels like you’re being forced to interact with your little brother. After all, social games can be jittery, childish, pushy (“Play with me! Play with me!”), and sometimes it seems as if the entire genre doesn’t have an...
PlayStation Vita: Will 2012 Launch Work?
By Nadia Oxford on Aug 31, 2011 in Business, Nintendo 3DS, PlayStation Vita 0
Are you reluctant to enter the next phase of the handheld gaming wars because you’re waiting to see what the PlayStation Vita has to offer? You may as well go make a sandwich: Sony recently announced that the PS Vita won’t be coming to North America or Europe until an unspecified date in 2012. Japan will be getting the system in time for the holidays, but unless you’re looking to import (and that’s a viable option, as the PS Vita is...

The Honorary Consul
(Argentinian revolutionaries abduct the wrong political figure by mistake, and one cynical acquaintance is the only one who cares… perhaps not even he does.)
Still from the 1983 John Mackenzie film The Honorary Consul (later changed inscrutably to Beyond the Limit); Bob Hoskins plays the Argentinian Colonel Perez, who is suspicious of Eduardo Plarr (played by Richard Gere) of being too close to the revolutionaries. This image featured on Metro UK when Bob Hoskins died in 2014.
Graham Greene, though a writer of great variety, is known for his “seedy” settings (he popularized the adjective, much to his regret) and the moral dimension of his very human characters. In these respects The Honorary Consul is an enduring and typical example of Greene’s style. Early in the book the protagonist Eduardo Plarr criticizes the romantic novelist Saavedra by saying that “life isn’t like” the way that author writes. Here Greene crafts a novel according to the alternative strategy; to show what life is like, with real people encountering real difficulties. The characters’ frail humanity and the ambivalence of their commitments will encourage us imperfect readers to relate honestly to them. The author refuses to vault skyward into heroism, idealism, wonder, or joy, perhaps as these are short-lived and usually confused in the real world. The good guys are bad enough to prevent us from admiring them, and the bad guys are good enough to prevent us from demonizing them. No character has an entirely appetizing mixture of traits, but no character is thoroughly distasteful either.
Like many readers, my gut draws me towards works whose moral distinctions rise into sharper relief—I enjoy esteeming my protagonists. If we insist on this criterion, Greene will not fare well. After meeting the main characters and following them around for a while, we might question whether they are likable enough company. Such readers must take a step of faith throughout the first 100 pages or so, that Greene is telling us a story that we will really care to read. Embarking on the book was for me like hearing the first few sentences of a party yarn that we fear might not be worth the patience. However, may no reader give up before realizing Greene’s purpose! The first impression fades and becomes irrelevant as one reads onward. The grayscale characterization is not due to neglect or apathy on the part of the author. Far from it—the ambiguity represents a strategy conceived for a distinct moral purpose, as paradoxical as this seems. A novel need not be moralizing to be morally interesting.

The Hunchback of Notre-Dame
(Notre-Dame de Paris)
(Love for a young gypsy woman allows an ugly man to rise above the world’s hatred of him, and to show his inner beauty).
Charles Laughton as Quasimodo in the 1939 movie directed by William Dieterle. This and other stills can be found on the IMDB page for the film.
Beauty and beast stories are thousands of years old. Here is how they generally go: a beautiful maiden somehow must associate with a character of less-than-alluring appearance, such as an animal, a god in disguise, or a magically uglified human. The girl eventually sees beyond the grotesque exterior to the real person inside, and falls in love. Then very often the whole moral is promptly compromised by the male character’s transformation into the handsome prince. Ah—it’s really about outward appearance (and wealth) after all! I write this with a smirk, as in fact those stories are not claiming that outward appearance should have no importance, but just that love can be demonstrated to be rooted in deeper things if we remove good looks as an experiment. (By the way, we’re generally talking here about removing the man’s good looks. Removing the woman’s good looks is far rarer in literature, as any student of human behavior could have predicted.)
Victor Hugo, perhaps the wisest of the great French novelists, wrote the perfect beauty and beast story—indeed, could do so only because he was wise. He understood beauty and was true to it in all its manifestations; and he understood ugliness and was fearless and trenchant in portraying its effects and implications. The novel is fundamentally about beauty: of Notre Dame cathedral, of Quasimodo its deaf mutant bell-ringer, of Esmeralda the gypsy girl. The beauty is very different in the three examples, except in fragility, which they share—these three beautiful things, a building, a beast, and a belle. And their fragility is due to ugliness, which likewise takes diverse forms.

(Ἱππολυτος)
(Disaster follows when Phaedra falls for her stepson!)
Crop of Phaedra and Hippolytus (1802), by the French neoclassical painter Baron Pierre-Narcisse Guérin (Louvre, Paris). The painting manages dramatically to squeeze in several elements of the plot: the youth expresses his resistance to Phaedra, even as the nurse whispers in her ear; meanwhile Theseus clenches his fist in rage.
The gods will have their play, and we piteous humans must suffer in double jeopardy. First, vice will eventually bring destruction, and yet we are by nature weak and prone to vice. Second, everyone is subject to fate, which is not kinder to good people than to bad. So we are doomed—we cannot be virtuous as we want to be, and so we are in trouble; and yet even if we could be virtuous we would get smacked anyway by the vicissitudes of fate! Hence Euripides’ fist-waving at the gods… yet he manages to preserve some reverence. Artemis tells us that the pious are still much more highly regarded by the gods than the impious. When the impious person suffers, the gods nod “take that!”, whereas the faithful incur their favor, which can bring some benefit. So, given our sad lot in life, it is better to be suffering and good than suffering and evil. Or that is Euripides’ line anyway. In this play we see how this web of cosmic influences plays out in the life of a chaste and honorable man destined for greatness by rights, when (through no fault of his own) his stepmother takes an improper liking to him.

(Le Petit Prince)
(A little man leaves his tiny planet to explore the universe, only to discover that the most important things in life can be found anywhere.)
Watercolor illustration by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry from chapter 26 of Le Petit Prince. Original drawings, watercolors (though not this one!), and pages from the only known handwritten draft of the novelette are housed in The Morgan Library, New York. Saint-Exupéry wrote and illustrated this story in New York City and Long Island following the Nazi invasion of France.
As hackneyed as the term “gem” is in the description of short and delightful books, The Little Prince has got to be the epitome. What other modern story is so small, simple, beautiful, and valuable? It radiates purpose modestly, its convincing naivete managing somehow to soften sharp lessons within a sweet and personal story. An actual gem, however, can be valued by anyone, even the unworthy—those who value it only because they can use it to get something else. The Little Prince has no such utility. Its essence is a rebellion against the importance we tend to place on utility. If we find ourselves appreciating The Little Prince, it can only be because we see some light in the book’s countercultural perspective—because we love this small meandering tale according to its true worth.

The History of Mr. Polly
(A man of precisely 37.5 years of age can’t seem to find success or happiness in life… perhaps he has to do something drastic.)
John Mills as Alfred Polly in the 1949 Anthony Pelissier film. Mills’ expression seems to capture Polly’s listless anomie. This still was also chosen to head the description of the novel for The Guardian‘s list of the 100 Greatest Novels (Robert McCrum named it #39– but meant it to represent all of H. G. Wells’ work). This photograph is in the Ronald Grant Archive.
“HOLE!” said Mr. Polly, and then for a change, and with greatly increased emphasis: “ ‘Ole!” He paused, and then broke out with one of his private and peculiar idioms. “Oh! Beastly Silly Wheeze of a Hole!”
Thus begins an entertaining fictional biography of a man who really needs a whack upside the head– one of several greats in that odd subgenre– Tom Jones, Babbitt, and Updike’s Rabbit series, for examples. (H. G. Wells writing fictional biography? In a contemporary setting? This might surprise those of us, such as myself, who had equated him with science fiction and socialist nonfiction. But anyway…) Our protagonist is an endearing and vivid, if frustrating character, who hides his depression with funny one-liners and his poor education with deliberate mispronunciations. And, as with many colorful characters in real life, beneath the wit cowers a man who hasn’t a clue where he’s going. His path through life is that of a flat boat with untethered sails– he might as easily plummet to his death over a waterfall as drift into a homely port. Or, to use Alfred Polly’s own metaphor, he’s in a hole. And no amount of quaint phrasing and amusing epithet, no ability to make women giggle, and no success as a shopkeeper is going to hoist him out of it.

(A champion of common sense and nonsense casually delivers his colorful yarns, witty satires, and twisty dramas.)
Crop of a photograph of the front porch of a 200+ year old farmhouse in Lodi, Ohio, by Kolman Rosenberg. Such a setting is perhaps the most agreeable for the telling of Twain’s rambling tales of American life and human foibles. This photograph can be found on Kolman Rosenberg’s blog Photography Unposed.
Sitting with Mark Twain when he’s in a storytelling mood, we get to know the man—or at least he leads us to believe we get to know him. He lets us in on private jokes; he talks to us freely and without affected polish, perhaps puffing on his pipe in the middle of a sentence; and he doesn’t mind making clever offhand remarks about even the touchiest of matters. And, to reciprocate the casual friendship, we allow him to wander on tangents, even if it prevents him from ever getting to his point; and we don’t let on that we mind when he decides not to tell us the end of a story, or when he makes fun of something that we happen to like; and, especially, we just don’t get too critical with him in general. Since Twain’s favorite literary pastime is to smirk at people who take themselves too seriously, when we take him too seriously the joke is on us! Besides, the path of his narrative, though unpredictable, is as organic and spontaneous as a stream– who can criticize a stream?

(The fortunes of a strong-willed hay-trusser prove to be as volatile as he is.)
“Hay-trussing–?” said the turnip-hoer, who had already begun shaking his head. “O no.” The first of Robert Barnes’s 20 illustrations for The Mayor of Casterbridge in the 1886 weekly magazine The Graphic, where the novel appeared between January-May 1886. Here the protagonist, Michael Henchard, is asking whether there is local work available. All 20 illustrations can be seen on The Victoria Web.
Michael Henchard is an unemployed field laborer who, under the influence of rum at a fair, impulsively starts to auction off his wife and baby daughter, to much laughter. His wife stands. A hush falls as a sailor actually puts five guineas on the table.
“Now,” said the woman, breaking the silence, so that her low dry voice sounded quite loud, “before you go further, Michael, listen to me. If you touch that money, I and this girl go with the man. Mind, it is a joke no longer.”
But Henchard will not be shamed or threatened. When he says something he means it! And so minutes later he sits there blinking away his disbelief as Susan, with little Elizabeth-Jane, walks away with a stranger. Thus begins The Mayor of Casterbridge: The Life and Death of a Man of Character. Here we see how a person’s destiny is shaped by the interaction of external forces and internal qualities– the world and the self. Take one part circumstance, add one part decision, repeat continually towards success or failure.

early poems
(A man of intellect and of spiritual sensitivity contemplates the purpose of life and its struggles.)
Crop of Melancholy (1894), by Edvard Munch. This painting is in The Rasmus Meyer Collection at The Bergen Art Museum (now part of the KODE museum group in Bergen, Norway).
“Unwelcome shroud of the forgotten dead,/ Oblivion’s dreary fountain, where art thou”. What a dark way to begin one’s poetical efforts, at 18 years of age! And we need read no further to suspect (correctly) that in Matthew Arnold we are in for something very different from the Romantics, and quite different also from his Victorian contemporaries Browning and Tennyson. The essence of the distinction is in his preoccupation with the meaning of life, and by extension death and the loss of faith. This spiritual decline that disturbed him so much, often called the maladie du siècle or the “sickness of the century”, had been treated more seriously on the continent, while in England Wordsworth, Keats, and Shelley were grasping at Nature or the humanism of the Greeks for their spiritual anchor. Arnold was a more melancholic, more skeptical poet, and doubted that the sickness could ever be cured, although he certainly loved the ancients (many of his early poems have classical subjects), and he also did look to nature for inspiration. Even as a teen he presaged the Existentialists, and indeed much of the spirit of the twentieth century, in trying to devise a way to preserve our spirituality and sense of wonder while being brutally honest about our mortality and the fleeting nature of all human endeavor. Matthew Arnold was a great poet not mainly because he was imaginative, spiritual, morally sensitive, and wonderstruck, nor on the other hand because he was freethinking, scholarly, and skeptical; he was great because he was somehow both of these sorts of people at once. If his poetry could be said to have a single goal, it was to merge these two halves of his consciousness, the spiritual and the intellectual.

(The Oklahoma land rush of 1889 gives Yancey Cravat an opportunity to rescue his wife from civilized mediocrity, and head west for the untamed life of the pioneer.)
Oklahoma Land Rush 1893, by contemporary Chinese-American painter Xiang Zhang. This painting can be found in his online gallery.
Yancey Cravat is the Cimarron—the wild one, like an aimless river or a jousting bighorn sheep. He may tote legal volumes as easily as a gun, and be as quick with a Shakespeare quote as with a trigger; and yes, he’s a lawyer and the editor of a socially active newspaper… but this is no milktoast city boy. This is Buffalo-Head, the tall, gruff, steel-eyed pioneer for whom three years in the same place or a single day without some sort of risk or conflict is evidently his idea of hell. And, no doubt, the wife of such a one is bound to be some kind of woman: Sabra, a sharp, spirited, strong, self-sufficient saber of a woman. In fact, although most assessments of this book will tell you that its permanence lies in its presentation to the world of the unforgettable Yancey Cravat, who is it that ties the book together? Whom does the narrative follow, when Yancey’s itchy traveling bone takes him to Alaska or the Spanish-American war? Not him, but the determined, toiling Sabra. Granted, she lacks the explosive flash of her husband–her way is much too pragmatic to put her in much danger or make her many enemies. But she is really the central character of the book, the one who grows, the one who succeeds in adapting herself to the various jolting cultural shifts that get thrown into her path by the errant Yancey, or by her son, or by the discovery of oil. At first entry into the fledgling land rush town of Osage, Oklahoma, fresh from the overprotection of her family the proper Venables of Wichita, she breaks into sobs when kissed by a stranger on the street. But give her eight or nine years, and she’s riding in the middle of the night into an Indian reservation during a mescal ceremony and demanding that her unconscious son be thrown onto her cart so she can bring him home. But of course, yes, we do want to hear about Yancey, despite… or maybe partly because of… his refusal to stick around. He’s idealistic, imposing, and indomitable. Take one particular tent meeting, for instance: in the course of giving a sermon, he manages to work in a self-defense killing—yes, the actual killing, not the story of a killing. And when warned that his pro-Indian editorials are going to get him killed, his reply is simply the unearthly death-scream of the Cherokee.

(“Das Urteil”)
(After treating a needy friend superficially for years, Georg finally pays the price.)
Crop of Charles Bridge (2009), by Paul Cook. Charles Bridge (Karlův most) lies over the Vitava River in Kafka’s hometown of Prague.
This is an existentialist horror tale about a man Georg who treats a distant friend superficially, then pays for this crime with his life. The distant friend is sick, poor and unmarried. Georg cannot think of what to say to him, so he writes only trivial things. He offers no advice or heartfelt consolation. He conceals his own prosperity and even (for a while) his own engagement. His father, meanwhile, behind his back, has been revealing the truth about Georg to the friend, and has been lying in wait for Georg to raise the situation in conversation. When Georg finally does broach the subject, his father condemns him as a betrayer of his friend and a selfish cold-hearted bum, and orders him to drown himself. As elderly as the father is, he is stronger of will than his son, who feels himself urged out of the room and to a nearby bridge. Georg flings himself to his death.

Harmon tells young leaders to be ‘doers’
Minister of State Joseph Harmon charged 57 graduates of the Youth Leadership Training Programme at theA participant, Melynda Smith models an outfit as part of the activities at the graduation ceremony for her colleaguesMadewini Training Centre to be ‘doers’ and not just talkers for the development of Guyana.The Minister was at the time speaking at the closing ceremony of the first in a series of eight training programmes on Sunday, which will draw on youth leaders from across the country between June and December.“The true demonstration of your effectiveness as youth leaders will be the practical things you get done and the positive tangible things that you achieve through your endeavours. Be doers, not talkers. We have too many talkers in Guyana; people who have the best ideas about everything but they do nothing. Change that paradigm. Become agents of change, become people who do things. Make your communities better, make your regions better and ultimately you will make Guyana better,” Minister Harmon advised.Referring to the contents of a publication by President David Granger, where he referred to the crises of employment, education and empowerment faced by young people, who make up 60 per cent of the nation’s population, the state minister said government has a clear vision for the development of this important sector of the population.Following national consultations across the ten regions of Guyana, a draft National Youth Policy, headed by the Presidential Advisor on Youth Empowerment Aubrey Norton has been reviewed by Cabinet and is now being prepared as a ‘white paper’ to be laid in the National Assembly and made public for scrutiny and consultation.However, Harmon noted that even as the National Youth Policy is in the pipeline the challenges facing Guyana’s youth are of a critical nature and hence it is important that interventions like this training programme begin immediately.The minister also spoke on the importance of social cohesion and lauded the organisers of the programme for the diversity reflected by the faces of the graduates. He called on them to return to their communities and resolve to work to remove the political, economic, social and cultural barriers that divide Guyanese.“I hope the training, which you have received here, will enable you to establish cohesive relationships and cohesive groups to foster cohesive communities and thus a truly cohesive society in our country… Your government is unequivocal and resolutely committed to the establishment of a cohesive society. We cannot, we will not develop by half or any other fraction or configuration… a holistic arrangement where all of our country’s people are committed and involved is indispensable to any real development that we achieve as a nation.”Further Harmon called on the young people to not see politics as a ‘big people’ thing but to become involved in the “political, economic and social affairs of your communities as precursors to your involvement in regional and national affairs.”He added that even as they work to develop existing and new youth organisations at the community level, they must also focus on their personal development. read more

Silver for SA cyclist at World Champs
30 September 2013 “As a team, we believe he’s a major star for the future, which is why we’re investing heavily in athletes likes him. “I’m extremely happy,” Meintjes, the current South African under-23 road race and individual time trial champion, said at the finish. “This was a goal of mine all season. The race started in Montecatini Terme and finished in Firenze Mandela Forum, a sports stadium named in honour of former South African president Nelson Mandela, which made the day more special for the South African team. ‘A major talent’“We identified Louis as a major talent a few years ago and I’ve always admired his work ethic,” Team MTN-Qhubeka Team Principal Douglas Ryder said in a statement. South Africa’s Louis Meintjes raced to a silver medal in the under-23 road race at the UCI World Championships in Florence, Italy on Friday, with Matej Mohoric of Slovenia taking the gold medal. SAinfo reporter The South African World Championships team started the race with three riders, also including Meintjes’ Team MTN-Qhubeka p/b Samsung teammate Johann van Zyl and Christopher Jennings. With less riders than the other nations, the team had to rely on riding a clever race. “World champs is always a special race and I’ve been doing it three years in a row. Being an under-23 race, it should technically be a little easier than the level we’ve (Team MTN-Qhubeka) been racing at this year, so I thought I can maybe get a result. The gold medal winner pulled away on the descent to the finish, with Meintjes holding off the chasing peloton to finish three seconds behind the Slovenian. “My plan was to follow wheels and wait until the last hour and see what’s left of the race. I started feeling really well as the race went on. As soon as we got on the finishing circuit, I could feel I had the legs today,” the 21-year-old Meintjies reckoned. It was contested over 173 kilometres and included seven laps on the finishing circuit. Meintjes was among the front-runners with two laps to go and then put in a major attack on the last lap to get to Mohoric. ‘Great confidence’“When I saw the route after it was launched, I had extra motivation. I went and trained on the circuit and it gave me great confidence.” “It’s great to see Louis doing so well. He’s obviously in a great team environment with top support at MTN Qhubeka. When he raced with the Toyota Cycle Lab Academy, we could see he was destined for great things,” Nic White, who oversees the running of the Toyota Cycle Lab Academy, said in a statement on the weekend. ‘Hard work paying off’“I think this is hard work paying off. I think this is going to happen for a lot of riders in Africa and South Africa. It’s just a matter of time before we see more names coming through. This is a result of what we’re trying to do with Team MTN-Qhubeka and the investment all our sponsors are putting in,” he added. “Our team manager Mark van der Merwe told me that Louis was the best rider he’d ever seen. He’s got the whole package: the right temperament, tactical sense and physical suitability. He’s also highly intelligent and conscientious, so is actually a pleasure to have in a team.” Toyota Cycle Lab AcademyMeintjes, like Tour de France champion Chris Froome, began his journey to success by spending three of his formative years with the Toyota Cycle Lab Academy, from 2009 to 2011. “We really believe in the South African and African dream. When we made it public a few years ago that we want to develop an African world champion, it was very ambitious. With the increased support from our amazing partners like MTN and Samsung, people can now see that our dreams and goals are a reality.” read more

International Women’s Day: Brand South Africa calls on all to play their part for the development and empowerment of women
Brand South Africa calls on all to play their part for the development and empowerment of women this International Women’s Day 8 MarchJohannesburg, Thursday 08 March 2018 – This year, International Women’s Day is anchored on the global movement for women’s rights, equality and justice, in order for the world to recognise that the growth and development of any nation depends extensively on the empowerment of its women.Numerous studies continue to show that countries that have expanded opportunities for women and girls in education and work in recent decades have achieved greater prosperity and social development for their nations.In South Africa, women constitute a large proportion of the economically challenged, especially in the rural areas, and the National Development Plan (NDP) acknowledges this by taking gender – along with race and geographic location – into account through theproposal of a range of measures that address this inequality. The NDP proposes that the transformation of the economy should involve the active participation and empowerment of women, and that the role of women as leaders in all sectors of society should be actively supported.Hosted under the campaign theme #PressforProgress – this year International Women’s Day provides an opportunity to set in motion the transformation of empowering women in all settings, rural and urban, as well as to celebrate the activists who are working relentlessly to claim women’s rights and realize their full potential.Brand South Africa’s Chief Marketing Officer, Linda Magapatona-Sangaret said: “While pressing forward with strategic adjustments of economic structures and innovations of their sustainable growth models, South Africa remains cognisant that equal participationin economic activities and equitable access to economic resources are the basic conditions for the well-being and development of women. Women are increasingly participating in the national development process, as they are essential for the achievement ofsustainable development. We at Brand South Africa call on all sectors of our society to spearhead the development and empowerment of women.”Revered for their strength in building the family unit and homes, as well as their contributions to the community, society and the nation — this International Women’s Day Brand South Africa celebrates the acts of courage and determination by ordinary womenwho continue to play an extraordinary role in the history of their countries and communities.International Women’s Day (IWD) is celebrated on March 8 every year. It commemorates the movement for women’s rights.Follow the conversation @Brand_SA and #PressforProgressFor more information or to set up interviews, please contact:Tsabeng NthiteTel: +27 712 5061Mobile: +27 (0) 76 3716810Email: tsabengn@brandsouthafrica.comWebsite: www.brandsouthafrica.com Would you like to use this article in your publication or on your website?

Roger Federer finishes with flurry of aces in 3rd round at Miami
Andreescu, who is tied for the WTA lead with 20 match victories this year, said she felt pain and tightness in the shoulder.“I’ve played so many matches,” the 18-year-old Canadian said. “I guess it’s just my body’s way of telling me it has had enough. The doctor said it’s nothing too serious, but the pain is there.”Andreescu said she will skip the tournament next week in Charleston, South Carolina, but plans to play the Fed Cup on April 20-21.She called a medical timeout after the first set to receive treatment, and received similar treatment during her third-round victory over Angelique Kerber, who afterward told Andreescu she was the “biggest drama queen ever.”Andreescu defeated Kerber in the Indian Wells final on March 17 for her first career title. The injury ended Andreescu’s bid to become the fourth woman to win Indian Wells and Miami back to back.ADVERTISEMENT Sports Related Videospowered by AdSparcRead Next Wintry storm delivers US travel woes before Thanksgiving “We’re not robots,” Federer said. “I like when players show emotion like Filip did in that instant. It was a weird, strange, ridiculous point that I got very lucky to win somehow.”A little lucky and really good, Federer won 7-5, 6-3 Monday to reach the fourth round.

(AP Photo/Lynne Sladky)MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — Roger Federer knew he had things going his way at the Miami Open when he hit three shots off his frame during a wild 17-stroke exchange and still won the point because Filip Krajinovic dumped a half volley into the net.Krajinovic quickly grabbed the ball and flipped it over the net as if continuing the rally, which drew cheers from the crowd and a smile from Federer.ADVERTISEMENT MOST READ “I’m pretty upset,” she said. “But I really can’t complain, with what I’ve achieved.”Halep and Kontaveit were joined in the quarterfinals by Petra Kvitova, who faced only one break point and beat Caroline Garcia 6-3, 6-3. Kvitova, a two-time Wimbledon champion, is ranked a career-high No. 2 and will rise to No. 1 if she wins the title. No. 1 Naomi Osaka lost in the third round.Kvitova’s match was interrupted by rain for more than 90 minutes, and she took advantage.“I had a quick nap, which was really helpful,” she said.Federer was only slightly delayed on his way to victory. Serving in the final game, he smacked aces on the first three points, and then hit another ace that skipped off the line to seal the victory — or so it was ruled.While awaiting a replay review, Federer and Krajinovic walked to the net and discussed the call.“He thought it was in,” Federer said. “I’m thinking, ‘Why did he think that?’ It was quite clearly out.”Federer was correct, and when the call was overturned, he gave Krajinovic a wave as if to say, “See you in a minute.” He needed only one more serve to complete the victory.

Mustafi annoyed by Arsenal legend Petit: He should know betterby Ansser Sadiq16 days agoSend to a friendShare the loveArsenal defender Shkodran Mustafi is not happy with club legend Emmanuel Petit.The German defender spoke at length about how he felt that he was blamed for defeats, even when they were not his fault.And among those who spoke negatively about him in public, he singled out French World Cup winner Petit for particular criticism.”That annoyed me a lot [Petit calling him the king of blunders],” he told Der Spiegel. “It’s the one thing when fans or media criticise you. But it’s a different story when an ex-player who knows how hard it is on the field sometimes says so.”I expect such players to be more sensitive and realise what this sharply worded critique can trigger. In the past, that might have been in the paper one day, and then people would have forgotten it. Today it’s on the Internet and will haunt me for the rest of my career.”Former players like Petit should not have to make a name for themselves by making condescending comments about current players.” About the authorAnsser SadiqShare the loveHave your say read more

Atlanta Hawks Thabo Sefolosha Awarded 4M In Police Scuffle
Posted on September 30, 2019 Leave a comment
Thabo Sefolosha will wrap his Atlanta Hawks career with a lawsuit settlement.(Jonathan Bachman/Getty Images Sport/Getty Images)Atlanta Hawks’ forward Thabo Sefolosha will get a $4-million settlement in a police-brutality suit he filed against the NYPD that he said broke his leg and left him unable to finish the NBA season in 2015.“This settlement is not a concession that Mr. Sefolosha was blameless in this matter and there was no admission of liability by the defendants,” the city law department said in a statement to the New York Daily News. “But, in light of the gravity of his injuries, the potential impact on his career as a professional athlete and the challenge for a jury in sorting out the facts in this incident, the resolution of the case was in the best interests of the city.”The $4-million payout is a fraction of the $50 million Sefolosha originally sought from the New York City Police Department and the city it serves in October 2015.As previously reported, police maintained they had been close to Manhattan, N.Y.’s 1Oak nightclub in April 2015 addressing the stabbing of now-Turkish Basketball Super League player Chris Copeland. The cops claimed Sefolosha questioned their authority, adding they were simply trying to keep him out of the area. Sefolosha said he handed a homeless man money near the club when officers pulled him to the ground, arresting Sefolosha and breaking his leg. Former Hawks teammate Pero Antic had accompanied Sefolosha to the club and also was arrested.Sefolosha, whose suit also pointed to a “racial matter” regarding the hoodie he wore at the time of his arrest, testified that he referred to NYPD Officer Jean Paul Giacona as “a midget,” according to NYDN, before he was dragged to the ground. The act of police brutality injured the 6-foot-6 baller’s leg and could have ended his NBA career, his lawsuit said.Charges against Sefolosha stemming from the incident, including disorderly conduct and resisting arrest, were dismissed in October 2015.The 2016-2017 NBA season will be Sefolosha’s last as a Hawk as his three-year, $12-million deal comes to a close, Yahoo reported. He will become a free agent this summer, while Antic, who also sued the city over the scuffle, is playing for the Turkish Basketball Super League. Antic’s federal lawsuit over the incident is pending. read more

Fifth Circuit Rules for Current Owner in Nazi-era Claim
The 5th Circuit has held that Claudia Seger-Thomschitz is not entitled to regain the work Portrait of Youth by Oskar Kokoschka. Sarah Blodgett Dunbar v. Claudia Seger-Thomschitz, No. 09-30717 (5th Cir. 2010). The claimant, Seger-Thomschitz argued the work was confiscated in a forced sale from the Reichel family in 1939. Sarah Blodgett Dunbar, a current resident of New Orleans, inherited the work in 1973 from her mother, who had purchased it in 1946 from a man named “Kallir” whom Seger-Thomschitz argued was a Nazi collaborator.
The suit was instigated by Dunbar after she received a letter from Seger-Thomschitz seeking the return of the work of art. Dunbar defended the action under Louisiana’s limitations rules, arguing the claims were barred by prescription. Louisiana Civil Code article 3491 gives title to a current possessor to “one who has possessed a movable as owner for ten years acquires ownership by prescription.” Seger-Thomschitz argued that “Louisiana law should not be applied at all” and that the Terezin Declaration, a non-binding document promulgated at the Prague Holocaust Assets Conference in 2009 preempts state law. The court was not convinced:
Appellant has not met the burden of establishing extraordinary circumstances to justify consideration of a new legal theory for the first time . . . Appellant offered no compelling reason why she failed to present this theory to the district court nor does it appear that a miscarriage of justice will result from our failure to address it. We are unpersuaded that this novel theory should be explored for the first time on appeal.
Ms. Seger-Thomschitz was also unsuccessful in her bid to seek the return of another Kokoschka work from the MFA Boston in June of last year.

Health Effects of Pesticides
by admin in US News, Health and Welfare, Government, Politics and Development, Barbados
My previous post was narrowly focussed on the effects of DDT and DDE on male reproductive health. I will now expand.
Testing at the GHNS showed the presence of pesticides including DDD, DDE, DDT, Aldrin, and Chlordane.There is a quote on the effects of some of the pesticides at the bottom of this post.
Study links DDT, obesity in women
Muskegon Chronicle (via Organic Consumers Association ) - MI, March 20, 2009 Straight to the Source
WEST MICHIGAN — The daughters of women who eat Lake Michigan fish laced with the toxic remnants of DDT are at greater risk of becoming obese, according to a new study.
Researchers at Michigan State University have discovered that prenatal exposure to a derivative of DDT — an insecticide commonly used until it was banned in the 1970s — may play a role in the obesity epidemic in women.
Mothers’ Pesticide Exposure Linked to Deficits in Children
Updated: Mar 17th 2010
http://www.mentalhelp.net/poc/view_doc.php?type=news&id=126753
WEDNESDAY, March 17 (HealthDay News) — Prenatal exposure to pesticides may lead to persistent adverse effects on brain development in children, according to research published online Feb. 25 in Environmental Health Perspectives.
… Children with prenatal exposure from their mothers’ greenhouse work had deficits related to motor speed and coordination, visuospatial performance, and visual memory.
Tiny pesticide exposure during pregnancy can have long-term impact on female offspring
Study confirms chlorpyrifos levels far below “toxic” threshold can impair learning, change brain function and alter thyroid levels into adulthood for tested mice.
By Greg Bowman
A new animal study accentuates the risk of ultra-low levels of the common pesticide chlorpyrifos to cause long-lasting birth defects in female offspring of exposed mothers. The daughters exhibited learning delays, disturbed brain function and altered thyroid levels. Significantly, these symptoms resulted from low toxicity exposure during late gestation—an impact route not even part of current regulatory pesticide testing.

The Few, The Proud, The Forgotten
PARTIAL QUOTES - GO TO ABOVE LINK TO READ IT ALL
DDD, DDE, DDT
The Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) determined that DDT may reasonable be anticipated to be a human carcinogen. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) determined that DDT may possibly cause cancer in humans. The EPA determined that DDT, DDE, and DDD are probable human carcinogens. [Different source: Also implicated in diabetes]
Chlordane
Chlordane affects the nervous system, the digestive system, and the liver in people and animals. Headaches, irritability, confusion, weakness, vision problems, vomiting, stomach cramps, diarrhea, and jaundice have occurred in people who breathed air containing high concentrations of chlordane or accidentally swallowed small amounts of chlordane. Large amounts of chlordane taken by mouth can cause convulsions and death in people.
Aldrin/Dieldrin
People who intentionally or accidentally ingested large amounts of aldrin or dieldrin suffered convulsions and some died. Health effects may also occur after a longer period of exposure to smaller amounts because these chemicals build up in the body.
Endrin
Exposure to endrin can cause various harmful effects including death and severe central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) injury. Swallowing large amounts of endrin may cause convulsions and kill you in a few minutes or hours.
Heptachlor/Heptachlor-Expoxide
There is no reliable information on health effects in humans. Liver damage, excitability, and decreases in fertility have been observed in animals ingesting heptachlor. The effects are worse when the exposure levels were high or when exposure lasted many weeks.
Endosulfan affects the central nervous system and prevents it from working properly. Hyperactivity, nausea, dizziness, headache, or convulsions have been observed in adults exposed to high doses. Severe poisoning may result in death.
Methoxychlor
There is very little information on how methoxychlor can affect people’s health. Animals exposed to very high amounts of methoxychlor suffered tremors and convulsions and seizures.

Home Guest Post GUEST POST: GEETANJALI VISVANATHAN- LANDMARK JUDGEMENT DELIVERED BY THE DELHI HIGH COURT...
GUEST POST: GEETANJALI VISVANATHAN- LANDMARK JUDGEMENT DELIVERED BY THE DELHI HIGH COURT ON JULY 1, 2019 UNDER THE PROTECTION OF PLANT VARIETIES AND FARMERS’ RIGHTS ACT, 2001.
I am pleased to bring to you our next guest post by Geetanjali Visvanathan. Geetanjali Visvanathan, is a practicing attorney in the Delhi High Court with 10 years of experience in the field of civil commercial laws, in particular intellectual property laws. She is currently a Partner at Ira Law, a young venture comprising of a highly experienced team of attorneys. Geetanjali has done her Masters in Competition, Innovation and Information Laws from the New York University, School of Law and has received her B.A. LL.B. from the Army Institute of Law, Mohali.
She specializes in the field of Media and Entertainment laws having worked in the past for record labels, artists, copyright societies and producers. She has been a part of the team handling landmark cases including the first case to deal with the scope of fair dealing of sound recordings and films in the context of television broadcasts including news broadcast, copyrightability of characters, moral rights of authors etc. Apart from copyright, her areas of practice also include Trademark, Plant Variety and Design Law.
In this post Geetanjali analyses a landmark decision passed by the Delhi High Court under The Protection Of Plant Varieties And Farmers’ Rights Act, 2001 (“Act”).
In a GIANT Leap for the Seeds Industry, the Delhi High Court in a judgment delivered yesterday, has for the first time in India, approved DNA testing of plant varieties to determine the issue of infringement and registrability under the Act.
This judgment essentially implies that DNA tests can now be used in India in cases involving misappropriation of plant germplasm- Yes! Theft worth millions is prevalent even in the plant world.
Facts in a Nutshell (No Pun Intended)
The case at hand revolved around registration of two maize varieties under the Act where the Petitioner in an opposition proceeding before the Plant Variety Authority was contending that its variety had been stolen by the Respondent. To prove its point the Petitioner presented DNA evidence establishing 99.4 % to 99.8% similarity between the two maize varieties. Since in Round 1, the Plant Variety Authority completely ignored this evidence and relied only on what is known as the DUS (Distinctiveness, Uniformity and Stability) Tests under the Act to hold that both varieties were distinct and registrable, the Petitioner approached the Delhi High Court in Round 2 challenging the order of the Authority.
DUS Tests under the Act
Before I get into the technicalities, DUS (Distinctiveness, Uniformity and Stability) Tests under the Act are morphological tests based on physical attributes of a plant variety. For eg- the colour of petals of a rose. These are conducted by growing the plants together in a field and noting their physical attributes over one/two seasons and in two different locations.
Findings and Importance of the Judgment
As stated earlier, the judgment gains importance as it brushes aside the prevalent norm of only relying on DUS Tests. The court agreeing with the Petitioner has held that “Special Tests” in the nature of DNA tests can be conducted during contentious proceedings such as Oppositions to determine the rightful owner of a plant variety under the Act.
This finding shatters the stereotypical interpretation given by the Plant Variety Authority in India which till now even when presented with concrete DNA evidence such as in the present one, chose to ignore the evidence on the ground that the Act only permitted Special Tests such as DNA tests when the DUS tests failed. (Rule 29(2) read with Section 19). The Court clearly holds this interpretation to be erroneous.
This is indeed a victory for the plant breeders in India who up till now could not rely on DNA tests to prove infringement or misappropriation of germplasm despite the fact that DNA testing is scientifically more accurate as compared to DUS testing where results can vary on account of change in environmental conditions, soil conditions, season etc.
In simple words, the Court has finally given teeth to what was otherwise considered a toothless Act.
Procedural Clarifications under the Act
The Court in the judgment has further clarified the procedure that ought to be followed by the Plant Variety Authority under the Act while considering an application for registration of a variety. Though the Act was enacted in 2001, this judgment would be considered a first as Protection of Plant Varieties is an unchartered field in India and there are hardly any judicial precedents under the Act.
Procedurally, the DHC has clarified that DUS tests contemplated under Section 19 of the Act have to be conducted before acceptance of an Application for registration of a plant variety and only thereafter can the application be advertised under Section 20 of the Act to invite oppositions.
More importantly, the Court has further clarified that DUS tests conducted under Section 19 of the Act are not binding and final and an objector by way of an opposition under Section 21 of the Act is at liberty to contest the veracity of the said tests. Again, I would emphasise that this is a FIRST under the Act.
Lastly, giving weight to the deeming provision under Section 21(4) of the Act, the court held that in situations such as the present one, where the Applicant does not comply with the statutory period of two months to file its counter statement to the Opposition nor takes any steps to file for extension, its Application would be deemed to have been abandoned. A BOLD and BEFITTING outcome in the facts of the present case.

Genetic patterns across multiple introductions of the globally invasive crab genus Carcinus,
The European green crab Carcinus maenas is one of the world's most successful aquatic invaders, having established populations on every continent with temperate shores. Here we describe patterns of genetic diversity across both the native and introduced ranges of C. maenas and its sister species, C. aestuarii, including all known non-native populations. The global data set includes sequences from the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I gene, as well as multilocus genotype data from nine polymorphic nuclear microsatellite loci. Combined phylogeographic and population genetic analyses clarify the global colonization history of C. maenas, providing evidence of multiple invasions to Atlantic North America and South Africa, secondary invasions to the northeastern Pacific, Tasmania, and Argentina, and a strong likelihood of C. maenas x C. aestuarii hybrids in South Africa and Japan. Successful C. maenas invasions vary broadly in the degree to which they retain genetic diversity, although populations with the least variation typically derive from secondary invasions or from introductions that occurred more than 100 years ago., Cited By (since 1996):54, CODEN: MOECE, ,

A review of apparent 20th century changes in the presence of mussels (Mytilus trossulus) and macroalgae in Arctic, Alaska, and of historical and paleontological evidence used to relate mollusc distributions to climate change
Live mussels attached to fresh laminarioid brown algae, all fastened to clusters of pebbles and small cobbles, were repeatedly cast ashore by autumn storms at Barrow, Alaska, in the 1990s. Specimens of Laminaria saccharina and L. solidungula shorten by 100 km a 500 km gap (Peard Bay to Stefansson Sound) between previously known concentrations of these kelp species. For the genus Mytilus, a 1 600 km gap in fully documented locations existed between Kivalina in the southern Chukchi Sea and the Mackenzie River delta. Barrow specimens were identified using a mitochondrial DNA marker as M. trossulus, an identity consistent with dispersal from the Pacific-Bering side of the Arctic. Live mussels and macroalgae were neither washed up by storms nor collected by active biological sampling during extensive benthic surveys at Barrow in 1948-50. We cannot interpret the current presence of these bivalves and macrophytes as Arctic range extensions due to warming, similar to those manifested by the tree line in terrestrial systems and by Pacific salmon in marine environments. Supplemental information and critical evaluation of survey strategies and rationales indicate that changes in sea temperatures are an unlikely cause. Alternative explanations focus on past seafloor disturbances, dispersal from marine or estuarine refugia, and effects of predators on colonists. This review suggests refining some interpretations of environmental change that are based on the extensive resource of Cenozoic fossils of Arctic molluscs., Cited By (since 1996):16, CODEN: ATICA, Invertebrates

Assessing mercury exposure and biomarkers in largemouth bass (Micropterus Salmoides) from a contaminated river system in California
We evaluated mercury (Hg) exposure and two biomarkers, metallothionein (MT) gene expression and histopathological alterations in a wild fish species, largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides), collected from the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, CA, a region polluted with Hg from historic mining activities. Hg is highly toxic and can disrupt multiple physiological systems in vertebrate species, including the immune system. Total mercury (THg) concentration in muscle tissue ranged from 0.12 to 0.98 ppm (wet weight) and was not related to body condition (r 2 = 0.005, p = 0.555). Using linear regression analysis, we found a positive relationship between MT gene expression (as determined using quantitative polymerase chain reaction) and copper, zinc, manganese, aluminum, and nickel (decreased to one variable by way of principal component analysis) (r 2 = 0.379, p = 0.044), a negative relationship with selenium (r 2 = 0.487, p = 0.017), and a weak, negative relationship with THg concentrations (r 2 = 0.337, p = 0.061). Juvenile largemouth bass collected from Hg-contaminated areas displayed histopathological features of immunosuppression compared with those collected from less contaminated areas as evidenced by significantly lower macrophage density in kidney and liver tissue (p = 0.018 and 0.020, respectively), greater trematode density in liver tissue (p = 0.014), and a greater number of adult trematodes. Our results suggest that largemouth bass may be experiencing sublethal effects from chronic Hg exposure. Furthermore, our findings illustrate the utility of examining multiple sublethal markers of effect to assess the impacts of contaminant exposure on physiological function in wild species. © 2012 Springer Science+Business Media New York., Fish and Fisheries, CODEN: AECTC

FISH-Flow: A quantitative molecular approach for describing mixed clade communities of Symbiodinium
Our understanding of reef corals and their fate in a changing climate is limited by our ability to monitor the diversity and abundance of the dinoflagellate endosymbionts that sustain them. This study combined two well-known methods in tandem: fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) for genotype-specific labeling of Symbiodinium and flow cytometry to quantify the abundance of each symbiont clade in a sample. This technique (FISH-Flow) was developed with cultured Symbiodinium representing four distinct clades (based on large subunit rDNA) and was used to distinguish and quantify these types with high efficiency and few false positives. This technique was also applied to freshly isolated symbionts of Orbicella faveolata and Orbicella annularis. Isolates from acutely bleached coral tissues had significantly lower labeling efficiency; however, isolates from healthy tissue had efficiencies comparable to cultured Symbiodinium trials. RNA degradation in bleaching samples may have interfered with labeling of cells. Nevertheless, we were able to determine that, with and without thermal stress, experimental columns of the coral O. annularis hosted a majority of clade B and B/C symbionts on the top and side of the coral column, respectively. We demonstrated that, for cultured Symbiodinium and Symbiodinium freshly isolated from healthy host tissues, the relative ratio of clades could be accurately determined for clades present at as low as 7 % relative abundance. While this method does not improve upon PCR-based techniques in identifying clades at background levels, FISH-Flow provides a high precision, flexible system for targeting, quantifying and isolating Symbiodinium genotypes of interest. © 2013 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.

European green crabs (Carcinus maenas) in the Northeastern Pacific,
Aim The European green crab (Carcinus maenas) expanded dramatically after its introduction to the west coast of North America, spreading over 1000 km in < 10 years. We use samples of Carcinus maenas collected over time and space to investigate the genetic patterns underlying the species' initial establishment and spread, and discuss our findings in the context of the species' life history characteristics and demography. Location The central west coast of North America, encompassing California, Oregon, and Washington (USA) and British Columbia (Canada). Methods We collected 1040 total samples from 21 sites representing the major episodes of population establishment and expansion along the west coast of North America. Microsatellite markers were used to assess genetic diversity and structure at different time points in the species' spread, to investigate connectivity between embayments and to estimate both short-term effective population sizes and the number of original founders. Assignment testing was performed to determine the likely source of the introduction. Results Carcinus maenas in western North America likely derived from a single introduction of a small number of founders to San Francisco Bay, CA from the east coast of North America. Throughout its western North American range, the species experiences periodic migration between embayments, resulting in a minor loss of genetic diversity in more recently established populations versus the populations in the area of initial establishment. Main conclusions Low genetic diversity has not precluded the ability of C. maenas to successfully establish and spread on the west coast of North America. An efficient oceanographic transport mechanism combined with highly conducive life history traits are likely the major drivers of C. maenas spread. Evidence for a single introduction underscores the potential utility of early detection and eradication of high-risk invasive species. © 2009 Blackwell Publishing Ltd., Cited By (since 1996):9, Invertebrates, CODEN: DIDIF, ,

Genetic and historical evidence disagree on likely sources of the Atlantic amethyst gem clam Gemma gemma (Totten, 1834) in California,
Aim: Historical information about source populations of invasive species is often limited; therefore, genetic analyses are used. We compared inference about source populations from historical and genetic data for the oyster-associated clam, Gemma gemma that invaded California from the USA Atlantic coast. Location: Mid-Atlantic (North Carolina, Maryland), Northeastern (New Jersey, New York, Massachusetts) and the California coasts (Elkhorn Slough, San Francisco Bay, Bolinas Lagoon, Tomales Bay, Bodega Harbor). Methods: The documented history of transplantation of Eastern oysters to California was reviewed. C. ytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) sequences from recent and archived clams were examined in a haplotype network. We used AMOVA to detect geographic genetic structure and a permutation test for significant reductions in diversity. Results: Chesapeake Bay oysters were transplanted to New York prior to shipment to San Francisco Bay and from there to peripheral bays. Gemma in the Northeastern and Mid-Atlantic regions were genetically differentiated. In California, populations in Bodega Harbor and Tomales Bay were genetically similar to those in the Mid-Atlantic area while clams in San Francisco Bay, Elkhorn Slough and Bolinas Lagoon resembled populations in the Northeastern region. In California, genetic variation was not highest in San Francisco Bay despite greater magnitude of oyster plantings. Haplotypes varied over time in native and introduced populations. Main Conclusions: Historical records and inferences from genetics agree that both Northeastern and Mid-Atlantic regions were sources for Gemma in California. Only complex genetic hypotheses reconcile the strong segregation of haplotypes in California to the historical evidence of mixing in their proximate source (New York). These hypotheses include sorting of mixtures of haplotypes or selection in non-native areas. Haplotype turnover in San Francisco and Massachusetts samples over time suggests that the sorting hypothesis is plausible. We suggest, however, that Gemma was introduced independently and recently to Tomales Bay and Bodega Harbor. © 2010 Blackwell Publishing Ltd., Cited By (since 1996):6, CODEN: DIDIF, ,

A non-native bryozoan creates novel substrate on the mudflats in San Francisco Bay,
A non-native bryozoan, Schizoporella errata, forms extensive patches of free-living balls and reef-like structures (bryoliths) on the mudflats in south San Francisco Bay, California. The ball-like bryoliths range from 2 to 20 cm in diameter, and the reef-like structures can be nearly 1 m across. While S. errata is known to form bryoliths in other locations, free-living aggregations like these have not been reported. Colony morphology appears to be a plastic trait as analysis of relationships among forms using cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI) nucleotide sequence data revealed no genetic separation. We recorded >50 species of algae and invertebrates living on and in the bryoliths and determined the invasion status for 34 of the 50 species. Of the 34, 25 (74%) were non-natives and included fouling species that require hard substrate. The bryoliths may thus facilitate colonization by invaders on the mudflats and serve as stepping stones between the limited hard substrate habitats in the Bay. © Inter-Research 2010, www.int-res.com., Cited By (since 1996):3, CODEN: MESED, , , Invertebrates

Larval settlement can explain the adult distribution of Mytilus californianus Conrad but not of M. galloprovincialis Lamarck or M. trossulus Gould in Moss Landing, central California,
We investigated the spatial distribution of adult and newly settled mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis Lamarck, Mytilus trossulus Gould and Mytilus californianus Conrad) on the shore at Moss Landing, California to test the hypothesis that adult distributions are a result of settlement patterns. Adult M. californianus were most abundant on a wave-exposed rocky jetty and adults of Blue mussels (M. trossulus and M. galloprovincialis) were more abundant inside the protected Moss Landing harbor. Using taxon-specific polymerase chain reactions, we monitored recruitment during continuous 1-2 week intervals on fibrous scrubbing pads for 12 months in 2002-2003. All mussel species settled in greatest numbers on the exposed jetty, and Blue mussels settled in greater numbers there than did M. californianus. Because Blue mussels settled abundantly where their adults were rare, post-settlement mortality appeared to be the strongest influence on adult distribution. In contrast, M. californianus settled mostly in their adult habitat., Cited By (since 1996):13, CODEN: JEMBA, ,

Experimental parameters affecting quantitative PCR of Artemia franciscana: A model for a marine zooplanktonic target in natural plankton samples,
The brine shrimp Artemia franciscana was used as a model zooplankter to explore the range and accuracy of quantitative PCR (QPCR) in detecting a target species in plankton community DNA. Specific primers were designed in the 18S ribosomal RNA and mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I genes and analyzed by TaqMan and SYBR Green I reporting systems. Assays were sensitive in detecting A. franciscana nauplii in DNA extractions from bulk plankton: a single nauplius was detected when added to 20 mg wet, packed plankton and distinguished from two added nauplii. Indeed, Artemia DNA diluted to 0.1 picograms per reaction (equivalent to 10-5 nauplii) was detectable. Artemia franciscana was detected without coamplification of other plankton, alleviating concern for errors caused by the presence of similar organisms in the plankton community. A natural plankton DNA sample and purified herring sperm DNA inhibited PCR above 100 ng reaction-1, but these samples could be diluted to eliminate inhibition. Because QPCR could detect 10-5 nauplii, dilution solves inhibition without sacrificing sensitivity. This sensitivity allows for analysis of a mass of plankton made large enough sufficient to include a target organism at low density. The newly hatched nauplius (DNA mass = 6. 1 ng) is a useful internal control in experiments examining plankton samples, providing a means of controlling for variations in DNA extraction and amplification efficiency in surveys for species of interest. © 2010, by the American Society of Limnology and Oceanography., Cited By (since 1996):1, ,

Fine scale endemism on coral reefs: Archipelagic differentiation in turbinid gastropods,
The perceived wide geographic range of organisms in the sea, facilitated by ready dispersal of waterborne dispersal stages, is a challenge for hypotheses of marine speciation but a boon to efforts of marine conservation. Wide species ranges are especially striking in the reef-rich Indo-west Pacific, the largest and most diverse marine biogeographic region, extending across half the planet. The insular marine biota of the tropical Pacific is characterized by wide-ranging species and provides the most striking examples of long distance dispersal, with endemism largely confined to the most remote island groups. Here we show that the gastropod Astralium "rhodostomum" has developed endemic clades on almost every Pacific archipelago sampled, a pattern unprecedented in marine biogeography, and reminiscent of the terrestrial biota of oceanic islands. Mitochondrial DNA sequences indicate that this species-complex is comprised of at least 30 geographically isolated clades, separated by as little as 180 km. Evidence suggests that such fine scale endemism and high diversity is not exceptional, but likely characterizes a substantial fraction of the reef biota. These results imply that (1) marine speciation can regularly occur over much finer spatial scales than generally accepted, (2) the diversity of coral reefs is even higher than suggested by morphology-based estimates, and (3) conservation efforts need to focus at the archipelagic level in the sea as on land., Cited By (since 1996):110, CODEN: EVOLA, ,

Species richness and interacting factors control invasibility of a marine community
Anthropogenic vectors have moved marine species around the world leading to increased invasions and expanded species' ranges. The biotic resistance hypothesis of Elton (in The ecology of invasions by animals and plants, 1958) predicts that more diverse communities should have greater resistance to invasions, but experiments have been equivocal. We hypothesized that species richness interacts with other factors to determine experimental outcomes. We manipulated species richness, species composition (native and introduced) and availability of bare space in invertebrate assemblages in a marina in Monterey, CA. Increased species richness significantly interacted with both initial cover of native species and of all organisms to collectively decrease recruitment. Although native species decreased recruitment, introduced species had a similar effect, and we concluded that biotic resistance is conferred by total species richness. We suggest that contradictory conclusions in previous studies about the role of diversity in regulating invasions reflect uncontrolled variables in those experiments that modified the effect of species richness. Our results suggest that patches of low diversity and abundance may facilitate invasions, and that such patches, once colonized by non-indigenous species, can resist both native and non-indigenous species recruitment., Invertebrates, Ecology

Sources of invasions of a northeastern Pacific acorn barnacle, Balanus glandula, in Japan and Argentina,
Within years of its introduction, the North American barnacle Balanus glandula Darwin, 1854 became an abundant member of rocky intertidal communities in Japan and Argentina. To determine the regional sources of these invasions, we compared mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (COI) and nuclear elongation factor 1 alpha (EF1) genotypes of native and introduced populations. Previously described population structure at these loci in North America conferred geographic information to genotypes. B. glandula from Argentina and southern to central California shared genotypes not found in other native populations. B. glandula from Japan and the northeastern Pacific (Puget Sound and Alaska) were differentiated from other populations by the presence of a nearly fixed nucleotide in EF1 and contained all 3 major haplotype groups of COI. These patterns indicate that sources of B. glandula in Japan and Argentina are largely from Alaska/Puget Sound and California, respectively. The broad similarity of mean seawater temperatures among introduced and native regions may have facilitated these invasions. The presence of greater variation in air temperatures in the invaded than native regions raises the possibility that temperature-related selection may play an important role in the evolution of these invasive populations. We found no evidence of multiple geographic sources of B. glandula in Japan and Argentina, nor of genetic bottlenecks in either invaded region. © Inter-Research 2008., Cited By (since 1996):9, Invertebrates, CODEN: MESED, , , Downloaded from: http://www.int-res.com/abstracts/meps/v358/p211-218/ (16 June 2014).

Genetic diversity in native and introduced populations of the amethyst gem clam Gemma gemma (Totten, 1834) from the U.S. east and west coasts
Reduced genetic diversity due to founder effects often is expected for invasive populations. The present study examined two nuclear gene regions and one mitochondrial gene to evaluate the origins and genetic diversity of Gemma gemma, a ‘stow-away’ that was introduced to California more than 100 years ago with the importation of the Eastern oyster, Crassostrea virginica, from the United States’ Atlantic coast. A previous investigation involving mitochondrial DNA cytochrome-c-oxidase subunit I sequences reported no significant difference in haplotype diversity between the native and introduced populations; however, estimates of allelic (or haplotypic) variability are insensitive to losses of rare alleles that may accompany founder events and population bottlenecks. Estimates of allele richness and the distribution of rare alleles provide more sensitive indicators of such events. The present investigation of introduced and potential source populations identified lower allele richness and number of singleton alleles in California samples. Atlantic coast Gemma exhibit a sharp phylogeographic transition between northeastern (New York through New England) and mid-Atlantic (southern New Jersey through Virginia) subpopulations, which appear latitudinally inverted for the California Gemma populations. These genetic results, and information from the transportation history of the Eastern oyster, help to clarify processes involved in the introduction of this invasive species. © 2014, The Author(s)., Cited By :1, Export Date: 4 September 2015

Clonal diversity in introduced populations of an Asian sea anemone in North America,
Previous reports hypothesized that introduced populations of the Asian sea anemone Diadumene lineata (Verill, 1870) which reproduces by fission, are often monoclonal or to be composed of few clones. To test this hypothesis, sea anemones were collected from thirteen sites in three non-native regions and one native region: Chesapeake Bay, New England, central California, and Japan. The internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region separating nuclear ribosomal RNA genes was amplified from each individual using PCR and surveyed for DNA sequence variation using single strand conformational polymorphism analysis (SSCP). Fifty-six distinct electrophoretic banding patterns were found in 268 anemones, and each pattern was considered a different genotype. The number of genotypes in a population ranged from one to thirteen. Only one sample (York River, Chesapeake Bay, n = 10) was monoclonal, although six populations were dominated (>50%) by single genotype. Only four genotypes were found in more than one population, and these were confined to single regions. Walker Creek, California was sampled in 1995 and 1997 and no genotypes were found in both years, suggesting rapid shifts in genotype frequency. We conclude that multiple genotypes of D. lineata have invaded North America and that the primary importance of clonal growth for introduced populations is the production of colonizing propagules., Cited By (since 1996):8, Invertebrates, CODEN: BLINF, ,

The life cycle of Earleria corachloeae n. sp. (Cnidaria Hydrozoa) with epibiotic hydroids on mid-water shrimp,
A large number of glass shrimp, Pasiphaea pacifica Rathburn 1902, were collected in a Tucker trawl aboard the R/V Point Sur in Monterey Bay, California during November 2006. Upon inspection, the shrimp were found to be harboring several symbionts, including a hydroid colony (Cnidaria: Hydrozoa) of unknown affinity. Shrimp-bearing hydroids were returned to the laboratory, and the hydroids were removed for culturing. After medusae were liberated and grown to maturity, it was determined that they belonged to the genus Earleria; however, their description did not match those of previously described members of the genus. Hydroid colonies for other species of Earleria are unknown. Earleria corachloeae n. sp. is described herein based on field-collected hydroid colonies, and both laboratory-raised and field-collected medusae. © Springer-Verlag 2009., Cited By (since 1996):2, Invertebrates, CODEN: MBIOA, ,

Ecology of cryptic invasions: Latitudinal segregation among Watersipora (Bryozoa) species,
Watersipora is an invasive genus of bryozoans, easily dispersed by fouled vessels. We examined Cytochrome c oxidase subunit I haplotypes from introduced populations on the US Pacific coastline to investigate geographic segregation of species and/or haplotypes. In California, the W. subtorquata group fell into three major sub-groups: W. subtorquata clades A and B, and W. new sp.. W. subtorquata clades A and B were common in southern California south of Point Conception, a recognized biogeographic boundary, whereas further north, W. subtorquata clade A and W. n. sp. were frequent. The southern California region also had colonies of a morphologically distinct species, W. arcuata, also found in southern Australia and Hawaii; COI variation indicates a common ancestral source(s) in these introductions. The distribution of Watersipora-complex lineages on different coastlines is shown to be temperature correlated. Accordingly, pre-exisitng temperature-based adaptations may play a key role in determining invasion patterns. © 2012 Macmillan Publishers Limited. All rights reserved., Invertebrates, Art.

The importance of standardization for biodiversity comparisons: A case study using autonomous reef monitoring structures (ARMS) and metabarcoding to measure cryptic diversity on coral reefs
Export Date: 15 May 2017, subtitle needed to be truncated, The advancement of metabarcoding techniques, declining costs of high-Throughput sequencing and development of systematic sampling devices, such as autonomous reef monitoring structures (ARMS), have provided the means to gather a vast amount of diversity data from cryptic marine communities. However, such increased capability could also lead to analytical challenges if the methods used to examine these communities across local and global scales are not standardized. Here we compare and assess the underlying biases of four ARMS field processing methods, preservation media, and current bioinformatic pipelines in evaluating diversity from cytochrome c oxidase I metabarcoding data. Illustrating the ability of ARMS-based metabarcoding to capture a wide spectrum of biodiversity, 3,372 OTUs and twenty-eight phyla, including 17 of 33 marine metazoan phyla, were detected from 3 ARMS (2.607 m2 area) collected on coral reefs in Mo'orea, French Polynesia. Significant differences were found between processing and preservation methods, demonstrating the need to standardize methods for biodiversity comparisons. We recommend the use of a standardized protocol (NOAA method) combined with DMSO preservation of tissues for sessile macroorganisms because it gave a more accurate representation of the underlying communities, is cost effective and removes chemical restrictions associated with sample transportation. We found that sequences identified at 97% similarity increased more than 7-fold (5.1% to 38.6%) using a geographically local barcode inventory, highlighting the importance of local species inventories. Phylogenetic approaches that assign higher taxonomic ranks accrued phylum identification errors (9.7%) due to sparse taxonomic coverage of the understudied cryptic coral reef community in public databases. However, a 85% sequence identity cut-off provided more accurate results (0.7% errors) and enabled phylum level identifications of 86.3% of the sequence reads. With over 1600 ARMS deployed, standardizing methods and improving databases are imperative to provide unprecedented global baseline assessments of understudied cryptic marine species in a rapidly changing world., published

Fission in sea anemones: Integrative studies of life cycle evolution,
Sea anemones (Phylum Cnidaria; Class Anthozoa, Order Actiniaria) exhibit a diversity of developmental patterns that include cloning by fission. Because natural histories of clonal and aclonal sea anemones are quite different, the gain and loss of fission is an important feature of actiniarian lineages. We have used mitochondrial DNA and nuclear intron DNA phylogenies to investigate the evolution of longitudinal fission in sixteen species in the genus Anthopleura, and reconstructed an aclonal ancestor that has given rise at least four times to clonal descendents. For A. elegantissima from the northeastern Pacific Ocean, a transition to clonality by fission was associated with an up-shore habitat shift, supporting prior hypotheses that clonal growth is an adaptation to the upper shore. Fission in Actiniaria likely precedes its advent in Anthopleura, and its repeated loss and gain is perplexing. Field studies of the acontiate sea anemone Aiptasia californica provided insight to the mechanisms that regulate fission: subtidal Aiptasia responded to experimentally destabilized substrata by increasing rates of pedal laceration. We put forth a general hypothesis for actiniarian fission in which sustained tissue stretch (a consequence of substratum instability or intrinsic behavior) induces tissue degradation, which in turn induces regeneration. The gain and loss of fission in Anthopleura lineages may only require the gain and loss of some form of stretching behavior. In this view, tissue stretch initiates a cascade of developmental events without requiring complex gene regulatory linkages., Cited By (since 1996):14, ,

Disentangling the biogeography of ship biofouling: barnacles in the Northeast Pacific
Aim: The movement of biofouling organisms by ships results in the transfer of marine species across biogeographical boundaries on a global scale. We used barnacles, a relatively well-studied taxon, to investigate the extent to which modern commercial vessels disperse biofouling species beyond their current known ranges. Location: Vessels predominantly operated in the North Pacific; sampling was conducted in Los Angeles (CA), Portland (OR), Ketchikan (AK) and Apra Harbor (GU). Methods: Barnacles were collected from submerged surfaces of commercial vessel hulls and identified to the lowest taxonomic unit using a combination of taxonomic and molecular phylogenetic techniques. Their known native and non-native geographical ranges were assessed and compared with the voyage history of the vessels. Results: Forty distinct taxonomic groups of barnacles (22 assigned to species) were detected from 15 vessels. Six of these recognized species have a worldwide distribution, due to natural and anthropogenic dispersal. Sixteen species were on vessels with voyage routes that extend beyond the barnacles' known distributions, including 12 species sampled outside of their known range. Main conclusions: A diverse suite of barnacle species is in continuous motion globally on commercial vessel hulls, and the potential scale of this transfer is underscored by the documented species richness for ship biofouling and what is known about the global fleet of vessels. We estimate roughly 680,000 separate arrival events per year for barnacle species to US ports distributed on both Atlantic and Pacific coasts. Genetic methods revealed high richness compared with previous studies, and the real rate is likely to be much higher than this because (1) it is likely that not all species on a vessel were sampled and (2) only a subset of sampled barnacles were successfully sequenced. Our limited knowledge about the total species pool in flux on ship hulls around the globe constrains our ability to analyse and interpret processed affecting species distribution patterns in the Anthropocene., Accepted for publication

Microsatellite variation, effective population size, and population genetic structure of vermilion snapper, Rhomboplites aurorubens, off the southeastern USA,
Vermilion snapper (Rhomboplites aurorubens) were collected from four sites off the Atlantic coast of the USA and one site in the Gulf of Mexico to evaluate effective population size and genetic stock structure. Previous studies had suggested geographic variation in the ratio of males to females, so this population characteristic was explored in conjunction with the genetic analysis. Sex ratio varied greatly among the five sample sites; males comprised 57% of samples in the Gulf of Mexico, while within the South Atlantic Bight they comprised between 36% (Morehead City, North Carolina) and 53% (Carolina Beach, North Carolina) of samples. No clear geographic trends in the sex ratio emerged; instead, it was found to vary with fish length, the percentage of males decreasing with increasing size. Allelic variation assessed at seven dinucleotide microsatellite loci was large; gene diversities ranged from 0.43 to 0.95 and allelic counts from 7 to 39. Estimates of the effective population size ranged from 24 500 (based on the infinite-alleles model) to 150 500 (based on the stepwise-mutation model). There was evidence for excess homozygosity within samples: estimates of F(IS) (the correlation of alleles within individuals) ranged from 0.01 to 0.03 among the seven loci, and three estimates were significantly greater than zero. Differentiation among localities was very weak, as estimates of F(ST) (the correlation of alleles within populations) were on the order of 0.001 to 0.002 and genetic distance estimates between localities were not related to geographic distances. This suggested that vermilion snapper in the South Atlantic Bight (Cape Hatteras, North Carolina to Cape Canaveral, Florida) and Gulf of Mexico are likely to consist of one genetic stock. Despite the overall homogeneity, there were indications of a temporally dynamic local structure that would bear further examination., Cited By (since 1996):33, CODEN: MBIOA, ,

Benthic invertebrate communities on three seamounts off southern and central California, USA,
Seamounts are unique and biologically productive deep-sea habitats that have often been described as having high levels of endemism, highly productive fisheries, and benthic communities vulnerable to trawl fishing. We describe the abundance and distribution of benthic megafaunal invertebrates found on 3 seamounts off central and southern California. Video observations were taken during 27 dives of a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) and were annotated in detail using the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute's (MBARI) video annotation reference system (VARS, http://vars.sourceforge.net/). Video analysis yielded 134 477 observations of 202 identified invertebrate taxa. Video transects were analyzed to quantify organism density. Thirteen new species were observed and collected. Invertebrate communities at Davidson and Pioneer Seamounts were dominated by passive suspension-feeding cnidarians (mostly corals), but at Rodriguez Seamount, a guyot, the invertebrate community was dominated by holothurian echinoderms. We found no evidence of endemism among the megafauna at these 3 seamounts, which are all in close proximity to each other and the continental margin. © Inter-Research 2009., Cited By (since 1996):19, Invertebrates, CODEN: MESED, ,

Bathydorus laniger and Docosaccus maculatus (Lyssacinosida: Hexactinellida): Two new species of glass sponge from the abyssal eastern north Pacific ocean
Two new species of glass sponge were discovered from the abyssal plain 200 km west of the coast of California (Station M). The sponges have similar gross morphology-an unusual plate-like form with basalia stilting the body above soft abyssal sediments. Bathydorus laniger sp. n. differs from its congeners by the presence of dermal and atrial stauractins; it is also supported by smooth hypodermal pentactins and hypoatrial hexactins. Microscleres include oxyhexasters and oxyhemihexasters. Docosaccus maculatus sp. n. contains large hexactins (>1 cm), characteristic of the genus. Megas-cleres include dermal hexactins, atrial pentactins, and choanosomal hexactins and diactins. Microscleres include oxy-tipped hemihexasters and floricomes. Several features serve to differentiate this species from its only known congener. Copyright © 2013 Magnolia Press., Invertebrates, doi: 10.11646/zootaxa.3646.4.4

Pristiophorus lanae sp. nov., a new sawshark species from the western north Pacific, with comments on the genus Pristiophorus Müller & Henle, 1837 (Chondrichthyes: Pristiophoridae)
A new species of sawshark, Pristiophorus lanae sp. nov., is described from off the Philippine Islands. The new species is the second member of the genus Pristiophorus described from the western North Pacific and can be separated from its closest geographic congener, P. japonicus, by having fewer rostral teeth in front of rostral barbels (17-26 versus 25-32), mouth at corners extending forward to below the rear margin of the eye versus extending below the rear one-third of eye margin, a greater mouth width at 6.9-7.8 times into pre-oral length (versus 5.8-6.9), eye length into head length (15.6-15.9 versus 9.8-13.2), mouth width into head length 9.0-10.0 versus 7.4-8.5 times, head width at nostrils 5.2-6.1 times into pre-orbital length versus 3.9-4.9 times, shorter prebarbel length (from snout tip to barbel) of 50.7-54.5% of preoral length versus 53.6-59.2%, a snout angle of 10.6-13.0° versus 12.4°-14.6°, and lateral trunk denticles with flat crowns that are imbricated versus erect crowns that are not imbricated. The number of monospondylous vertebrae is slightly lower in P. lanae (43-48) versus P. japonicus (51-52). The genus is reviewed, with a revised key to its species presented. © 2013 Magnolia Press., Cited By (since 1996):1, Export Date: 11 February 2014, Source: Scopus

Dietary niche expansion of a kelp forest predator recovering from intense commercial exploitation
Marine ecosystems are increasingly at risk from overexploitation and fisheries collapse. As managers implement recovery plans, shifts in species interactions may occur broadly with potential consequences for ecosystem structure and function. In kelp forests off San Nicolas Island, California, USA, we describe striking changes in size structure and life history traits (e.g., size at maturation and sex change) of a heavily fished, ecologically important predator, the California sheephead (Semicossyphus pulcher). These changes occurred in two phases: (1) after intense commercial fishery exploitation in the late 1990s and (2) following recovery in the late 2000s, nearly a decade after management intervention. Using gut contents and stable-isotope values of sheephead and their prey, we found evidence for a dietary niche expansion upon recovery of population size structure to include increased consumption of sea urchins and other mobile invertebrate grazers by larger sized fish. By examining historical diet data and a time series of benthic community composition, we conclude that changes in dietary niche breadth are more likely due to the recovery of size structure from fishing than major shifts in prey availability. Size-dependent predator-prey interactions may have ecosystem consequences and management measures that preserve or restore size structure, and therefore historical trophic roles of key predators, could be vital for maintaining kelp forest ecosystem health. © 2014 by the Ecological Society of America., Fish and Fisheries

An overview on the role of Hexanchiformes in marine ecosystems,
The large size, high trophic level and wide distribution of Hexanchiformes (cow and frilled sharks) should position this order as important apex predators in coastal and deep-water ecosystems. This review synthesizes available information on Hexanchiformes, including information not yet published, with the purpose of evaluating their conservation status and assessing their ecological roles in the dynamics of marine ecosystems. Comprising six species, this group has a wide global distribution, with members occurring from shallow coastal areas to depths of c. 2500 m. The limited information available on their reproductive biology suggests that they could be vulnerable to overexploitation (e.g. small litter sizes for most species and suspected long gestation periods). Most of the fishing pressure exerted on Hexanchiformes is in the form of commercial by-catch or recreational fishing. Comprehensive stock and impact assessments are unavailable for most species in most regions due to limited information on life history and catch and abundance time series. When hexanchiform species have been commercially harvested, however, they have been unable to sustain targeted fisheries for long periods. The potentially high vulnerability to intense fishing pressure warrants a conservative exploitation of this order until thorough quantitative assessments are conducted. At least some species have been shown to be significant apex predators in the systems they inhabit. Should Hexanchiformes be removed from coastal and deep-water systems, the lack of sympatric shark species that share the same resources suggests no other species would be capable of fulfilling their apex predator role in the short term. This has potential ecosystem consequences such as meso-predator release or trophic cascades. This review proposes some hypotheses on the ecology of Hexanchiformes and their role in ecosystem dynamics, highlighting the areas where critical information is required to stimulate research directions. © 2012 The Authors.

Development of a computer-aided age determination system,
We have developed a computer-aided system (Bony Parts) to analyze periodic bands in fish otoliths (or other structures) for age estimation. The image analysis program first scans the image of a thin otolith section, perpendicular to the bands specified by the user. Adjacent scans are averaged and filtered with Fourier transformation or spatial domain convolution. Bands of higher density are detected and are marked and summed on the screen. We evaluated this new technique using subsamples of thin-sectioned otoliths from the bank rockfish Sebastes rufus. The time and effort for cleaning, preparation, sectioning, and mounting are the same for both traditional and computer-aided techniques. The computer-aided technique reduced the time and tedium of counting bands, yet still allowed the user to interactively make subjective decisions about aging criteria. Both approaches produced similar readings, but computer-aided estimates were more precise than traditional readings and required less analysis time. Thus, this new technique allows sample size and precision to be increased for a given amount of effort. Use of this new technique to age 1,897 sections produced von Bertalanffy growth equations that indicate female bank rockfish grow to a larger theoretical maximum size than males (L1 = 500.7 mm versus 438.1 mm total length) but grow at a slightly slower rate (K = 0.054 for females versus 0.073 for males., Cited By (since 1996):11, Fish and Fisheries, CODEN: TAFSA, ,

The relationship between water motion and living rhodolith beds in the southwestern Gulf of California, Mexico,
Free living, nodular aggregates of non-geniculate coralline algae (rhodoliths) have occurred since the Cenozoic in diverse marine environments around the world. Fossil rhodolith morphology and distribution have been widely used as paleoecological indicators, particularly of water motion. However, few studies have verified these relationships in living beds. The relationship between water motion and rhodolith movement was examined in three subtidal rhodolith beds off the southwestern coast of the Gulf of California, one dominated by wave action and two dominated by tidal currents. Field experiments and simultaneous video and current measurements taken during winter 1996 showed that rhodoliths in the shallow margins (4.5 m depths) of wave-dominated beds moved frequently due to threshold-level velocities from wind-propagated waves. Rhodoliths did not move in the middle and at deep margins of the bed due to attenuation of wave energy. Historical wind records and waveforcasting analysis indicate that shallow rhodolith movement is frequent only in the winter. In deep tidally dominated beds, maximum yearly tidal currents were not sufficient to move rhodoliths. Video and SCUBA surveys showed that bioturbation is an important mechanism for rhodolith movement in all beds. Rhodoliths in 12-m-deep tidally dominated beds and in the deep margins of wave-dominated beds appear to move only occasionally due to bioturbation and severe storms. Results imply that rhodolith morphology and distribution are dependent on a combination of factors. These factors, especially bioturbation, should be considered when using rhodoliths as paleoecological indicators., Cited By (since 1996):66, ,

Simon Sez
_It ain’t over till…_
So, we were up very, very late one night preparing for a [Sanskrit] midterm. We were over at Pembroke, but at some point grew tired of memorizing our Hitopadesha translations and wandered down to use the lounge and its TV in Andrew’s dorm.
We turned it on and, as per habit, flipped to TNT to see what sort of late-night tripe was on.
And oh, what tripe it was.
If you haven’t seen Simon Sez , you can’t understand the utterly transformative power of the international language of cinema. This film is a masterpiece—a perfect script coupled to inspired direction and acting of the highest caliber.
Why should you see this movie? Well, let’s begin with the star. Dennis Rodman. Is there anyone in hollywood whose star is rising faster? I think not. With Simon Sez , you gain valuable insight into his ultra-smooth transition between basketball and cinema. The script is the kind of genius that you can only get with two low-grade actors making their writing debut fleshing out a story put together by two low-grade producers, also making their writing debut. But don’t don’t worry, it’s directed by the writer of Iron Eagle making his directorial debut.
Yes, this movie truly proves that inexperience is no barrier in the face of passion and enthusiasm.
But this movie is also an ensemble success with a very strong supporting cast. Comic relief is provided by Dane Cook, whose career highlights include playing The Waffler on Mystery Men, cohosting some Jimmy Kimmel, and his very own Comedy Central Presents. We also have two innocent young lovers, one a european unknown, the other Natalia Cigliuti (yep, she’s the American), who’s appeared on not merely All My Children (as, apparently, “Anita Santos #4”), but also Saved by the Bell ...”The New Class.” Sexual innuendo (and one of the world’s funniest pg-13 sex scenes) courtesy of Emma Sj?g, who apparently once appeared in a George Michael video. Her character is never named in the movie, but is referred to in the IMDB cast list as “The Dancer.”
But the true hidden treasures are Macro and Micro, the Monks of Death, who, well…they’re kind of hard to explain. Imagine that Q from the Bond movies were two Americans, one black and one white, the white one really fat, and who went around in vaguely Franciscan garb and had their secret lair in a Church. That gets you the form, but not the substance. You really need to watch the movie.
Corsican separatism. International intrigue. Monks of Death. It ain’t over till…Simon Sez.

Is Interest in Strong Fizzling?
Reported by Theresa Sim
Wells Fargo is reportedly the latest favored bidder for Strong Financial Group, with Nuveen Investments as the "other bidder still in the running" reported Reuters on Monday. Reuters cited two unnamed sources as a basis for its report.
The sources agreed that the sale was still several weeks away.
"My information is the Wells deal is back on track...[b]ut we've not seen anything close to definitive" Reuters reported one source close to the negotiations as saying.
Since Richard Strong relinquished control of the company in December 2003, Strong officials and media have issued varying reports about the sale. In late January, the Greater Milwaukee Business Journal reported that Strong executives told a pension client that the firm would find a buyer within 60 to 90 days. Strong�s CEO, Kenneth Wessels stated in mid-February that a sale could close "quite shortly."
The Wall Street Journal and the New York Times reported in January that there were six and a dozen potential buyers, respectively. The Times reported that Strong could sell for as much as $900 million, while the Journal stated a $450 to $750 million range. In early February, sources told MFWire that Goldman Sachs, advising Strong on the sale, had reduced the price to $600 million.
The Reuters article implied that the funds managed by Strong are key to the sale �- "Wells Fargo has sought assurances that leading portfolio managers at Strong would stay with the company after its sale...'I think they got the ones they care about,�" one of their sources said.
Besides investment management, Strong also offers retirement plan services. Strong entered the retirement plan business in 1981, started an administration and record-keeping unit in 1992, and opened a full-service retirement plan center in Menomee Falls, Wisconsin, where the company is headquartered, in March 2001.
For Wells, Strong�s administration capability would likely not be a boon, as the firm already administers its own plans.
Wells targets larger clients while Strong�s clients are mainly middle market. Wells Fargo has over 4,000 sponsors and Strong has 263, according to an October 2003 Pensions & Investments article.
Wells Fargo�s success with past investment management acquisitions has been mixed.
It acquired NorWest, a Minneapolis-based firm, in 1998. Norwest had already acquired Emjay, a small-business retirement plan administrator at that time. Wells then sold WFRPS, the former Emjay, in November 2003, citing that it was not part of their core retirement plan business.
"Our core retirement plan business, which is not part of this strategic relationship with Great-West and is supported by the OmniPlus recordkeeping system, remains a strategic growth area for Wells Fargo. Our primary retirement business strategy is focused on direct clients from consultant contacts and from cross-sell from the many businesses that make up Wells Fargo," said Jay Kiedrowski, Executive Vice President of Wells Fargo Institutional Trust Services in November 2003.
Wells also acquired the bulk of assets managed by Montgomery Asset Management, an institutional and individual investment management firm, in late 2002.

Looking for a Dropbox compatible file manager for Android? Try OI File Manager.
For the past few months I have been using the Speed Software's free (and ad free) Explorer as my file manager. It is a nice powerful, non-frills file manager. Given that it is the sibling of Speed Software's powerful paid app, Root Explorer it has good genes.
I use drop box on my phone to view files that I keep on my Dropbox account, which keeps my files on my two computers and smartphone in sync. I have had no problem uploading pictures and audio files to Dropbox, but when I tried to upload a Word document today, I realized that Dropbox needed different file manager as the Dropbox application for Android did not recognize Explorer.
After searching online, I decided to try OpenIntents OI File Manager. This app is free (and ad free) and will allow you to upload any file to Dropbox from your Android device.

Around the Web: Faster internet
PCWorld explains why your internet is faster today. "If you notice faster delivery of Web content today, consider yourself more than just lucky. In fact, you may well be a beneficiary of the Global Internet Speedup, a new, Google-backed effort to speed up the Web around the world."
Thanks Google & Co. :)
It got me thinking how fast Internet has gotten today, especially mobile internet. In 2006, I got a Globe Visibility internet connection from Globe Telecom, which has a maximum theoretical speed of 1.8 Mbps, and would hit 1.4 Mbps.
Globe Visibility Speed test from February 2007, from a Huawei modem on a laptop
Today, I can get those speeds from my mobile phone.
Smart 3G Speed test from August 2011, from a HTC Desire HD
The fastest mobile internet products available today is many time faster than that. SMART Communications has its prepaid only SMART Rocket which promises as mush as 12 Mbps. The SMART Rocket kit, which include a modem and a sim will cost you Php3,995. Use will cost you Php10 per thirty minutes. According to Yugatech, default charging will revert to Php200 per 180MB after September 30, 2011. You can also subscribe to Smart Always On Plans on the Rocket. It is still not clear if you can subscribe to Smart Communications Unlimited plans. Given the plans this would be more suitable for a dedicated mobile connection.
SMART Rocket - 4G HSPA+
Coverage is still limited, and since it is wireless technology, actually speeds may be reduced by obstructions between your device and the 4G tower. A list of the covered areas at this time can be found here.
Globe Tatoo Tonino Lamborghini - 10 Mbps 4G HSPA+
Globe Telecommunications offers its Globe's 10 Mbps Tattoo Tonino Lamborghini. Globe high speed package is a postpaid only plan. You get the sim and modem free for a monthly of Php2,199 under a two year contract. Since the plan is unlimited, I suspect many users may use this as their mobile and home connection. I am not sure if that is a good thing. Five years ago, some Globe Visibility were being used to power internet cafes causing network slowdown. But Globe Telecom has been down this road before so I think they know what they are doing. Mobile Internet from Globe Telecom across all plans tends to cost a bit less than mobile internet from SMART Communications.
How long can you resist before getting a 10 Mbps or faster mobile connection? Pick your own poison, but either way, the faster net is here.

The hidden cost of Apple ownership & AppleCare
Yugatech recently wrote an article about how he damaged the LCD of his newly acquired 2011 MacBook Air. Yuga wrote:
The adaptor of my MBA slipped from my hands and dropped around 7 or 8 inches from the keyboard (near the area where the power button is). Hit the F11 and F12 keys and bounced to the lower right corner of the screen.
One reader commented:
That’s one disadvantage of getting a Mac. Premium parts and services.
In sum, the MacBook Air's 11.6-inch LCD screen needs to be replaced. Now, this kind of damage can happen to any laptop and warranty's do not cover damage caused by accidents and physical damage so the damaged laptop is not a point against Apple.
But the cost of replacement is. Yuga writes that the LCD replacement will cost between Php25,000 to Php30,000. A friend of mine with a damaged MacBook Pro was quoted a similar price for the damaged screen of his MacBook Pro.
Basically, replacement parts for Apple products cost 2-3x more than their competitors. One way to avoid the high cost of parts is to avail of an AppleCare extended warranty, and AppleCare warranty's are very popular because long time Apple buyers know that repairing their Apple will cost a lot. AppleCare packs will extend your warranty coverage to two years (iPad and IPod) three years (Mac's and displays), and will even cover the wear and tear on the battery once it goes below 50%.
AppleCare coverage is not cheap. Getting one for your Php49,900 11-inch MacBook Air will cost you Php13,490 (adds two years to the warranty). Getting a similar coverage for a Php23,990 iPad to will cost you Php4,190.
AppleCare still wont cover accidental damage, and I doubt whether iPhone owners can wait for their battery to go down to 50%. The high cost of replacement iPhone batteries is what makes external batteries for Apple iPhone so popular. But it does convert your nice slim iPhone into a rather Jurassic looking fat and heavy device. Given the high acquisition cost of an iPhone how much batteries cost these days, it would be nice if Apple offered lower prices on replacement batteries at least.
HTC Sensation @SMART
HTC Sensation. The HTC Desire S is a high end Google Android phone released by HTC in Q2 of this year. With a 4.3-inch 540 x 960 qHD resolution screen, dual core 1.2 GHz processor, Adreno 220 graphics, 768MB of RAM, 1GB of internal memory, a 8MP auto focus read primary camera with a dual-LED flash, 1080p video recording, a VGA front camera and full support for Adobe Flash. The phone was used as the launchad for the new HTC Sense UI 3.0, which I think is the best manufacturer designed user interface for Android, supported by several proprietary HTC apps, it promised to be the best Android phone for Q2 2011.
Sensation v. Samsung i9100 Galaxy S II - Galaxy S II wins on a contract free purchase. The primary competition for the HTC Sensation is the Galaxy S II, and in this battle the Galaxy S II wins hand down. The HTC Sensation is actually a bit cheaper being sold about Php1.5k less than Galaxy S II, but that price difference is not enough to make up for the Galaxy S II's hardware advantages. The Galaxy S II's Super AMOLED display is the better of the two. The 1GB of RAM and Dual-core 1.2GHz ARM Cortex-A9 processor, Mali-400MP GPU, Exynos chipset makes the Galaxy S II the faster of the two handsets. While the Sensation comes with 1GB of internal memory with a 8GB Micro SD card, the Galaxy S II comes with 16GB of internal memory. This means the Galaxy S II's memory can be expanded all the way to 48GB.
The Sensation is a better deal on a data plan. The Galaxy S II is currently available from Globe Telecom at Plan 2499 on a two year contract (a limited time promo if you apply online), which makes it the best deal postpaid also, well at least if you don't plan to use the phones 3G connection too much. Globe Telecom's Plan 2499 can be bundled with 21 hours of free mobile data, but that really wont let you use a modern Android phone to its full potential. A modern smartphone is really not all that useful without a data plan, so if you plan to invest in one of these phones, you might as well factor in the fact that you will be spending on wireless data. If you want a device to drag around from WiFi hotspot to WiFi hotspot, we would recommend a tablet instead.
With unlimited data added on, the Galaxy S II from Globe Telecom you would now be paying Php3,498 a month. The other option would be to bundle the Globe locked Galaxy S II with 1GB of data a month which would give you a total monthly fee of Php2,998.
With SMART's Data Plan 3000 you can get the HTC Sensation free on a two year contract. Data Plan 3000 gives you 300 minutes of calls and 240 SMS to all networks, and you get unlimited data usage (subject to some restrictions). So while the Samsung Galaxy S II is the clear winner for the cash buyer looking to buy an open line phone, on a carrier subsidized handset, the HTC Sensation could be a better deal.
LG Optimus One P500 gets updated to Gingerbread
LG Optimus One P500. LG is rolling out the Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) now rolling out for its popular LG Optimus One P500 smartphone. The LG Optimus One has been the best budget phone in the market since its release in November 2010 released at a suggested retail price of Php12,990. Today the Optimus One is being sold for as low as Php9,800. With a 3.2 inch TFT capacitive touchscreen display, a 320 x 480 pixel resolution, a 600MHz processor, 512MB of RAM, 170MB of internal storage, and 3.2MP auto focus camera, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g, Bluetooth 2.1, a microUSB port and a built-in GPS transceiver with A-GPS support it is still the best budget Android nine months after release.

HTC Desire S @SMART
HTC Desire S. The HTC Desire S is a high end Google Android phone released by HTC in Q2 of this year. With mid-sized form factor sporting a 3.7-inch 480 x 800 resolution screen, 1GHz processor, 768MB of RAM, 1.1GB of internal memory, a 5MP auto focus read primary camera with a LED flash, a VGA front camera and full support for Adobe Flash, it HTC's closest direct competitor to the Apple iPhone 4.
The phone uses HTC Sense UI, which I think is the best manufacturer designed user interface for Android, supported by several proprietary HTC apps. The Sense UI is so popular, it had "copied" by other developers and offered in the Android Market.
The only downer in the package has been the price.
Desire S v. Optimus Black - Optimus Black wins on a contract free purchase. The HTC Desire was regarded by many as the best smartphone of 2010. When the HTC Desire S arrived in the market on the second quarter of this year, it was priced lower than the original price of the original Desire. But this was not low enough as it was priced 15% higher than other models like the LG Optimus Black P970. The Optimus Black has a larger 4-inch screen, as against the 3.7-inch screen of the Desire S. The screen of the Optimus Black, a 700-nit IPS display is brighter than the S-LCD screen of the Desire S. The slimmer 9.2 mm thickness of the Optimus Black makes the 11.6mm Desire S feel chunky. The Optimus Black, with 2GB of internal storage has almost twice the storage of the Desire S. The only specification where the Desire S is clearly ahead is in RAM, where it has 768MB versus the 512MB of the Optimus Black.
The lowest price we have found for the Desire S is Php20,400 which is still substantially higher than the LG Optimus Black with an official warranty is Php17,000.
The Desire S is a great deal on a Smart Unlimited Data Plan. The LG Optimus Black is not offered by any local carrier at the present time. SMART Communications offers the HTC Desire S free on a two year contract under SMART's Data Plan 2000. Under this plan, the Desire S is the best deal in the market at this price point.
A modern smartphone is really not all that useful without a data plan, so if you plan to invest in one of these phones, you might as well factor in the fact that you will be spending on wireless data. If you want a device to drag around from WiFi hotspot to WiFi hotspot, we would recommend a tablet instead.
Data Plan 2000. With SMART's Data Plan 2000 you get 150 minutes of calls and 200 SMS to all networks, and you get unlimited data usage (subject to some restrictions - I recommend you discussed in detail with your SMART Communications agent when applying for the plan). If you look at the comparable phones in the market, the Google Nexus S from Globe Telecom, but that is at Plan 2499 bundled with 21 hours of data.
I use this plan use it to get my email and sync my calendar and contacts using the pre-installed Google apps. I do messaging mainly through the pre-installed GTalk and eBuddy (for Yahoo! Messenger and Facebook Chat) downloaded from the market ( For social networking I use HTC's proprietary Friend Stream and Peep applications to keep me connected to Twitter and Facebook (it also has support for LinkedIn, Flicker and Plurk). I get weather updates through a HTC app and news through the pre-installed Android app. I get traffic updates using the the locally built Metro Traffic Navigator. Occasionally I surf the web on the browser, and yes make calls and send SMS too. All-in-all not bad for my Php2,000 per month.
Best deal on the Samsung i9100 Galaxy S II?
Samsung's I9100 Galaxy S II is the best smartphone money can buy these days. Powered by a dual-core 1.2GHz ARM Cortex-A9 processor, Mali-400MP graphics processing unit on the Exynos chipset, it is the fastest smartphone in production. The 4.3-inch 480 x 800 Super AMOLED display combined with a thin 8.5 mm frame combines a large vibrant display with a case the is easy to carry on the hand. With 1GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage, it does not fall short in those department either.
With a suggested retail price of Php29,900, and available for about 2K less on cash, it is about 15% cheaper than what you would expect to pay for a top of the line handset last year. Still 30K for a phone is a fair amount of cash.
Globe Telecom is offering the Samsung Galaxy S II on a postpaid plan with a two year contract at Plan 3799. That is the same plan that Globe Telecom offers the iPhone 4 for free too. But if you apply for your Globe Telecom line online, the Galaxy S II is available at Plan 2499 on a two year contract.
The HTC ChaCha is a Google Android phone which ships Android 2.3 out of the box. It is a QWERTY messenger phone which combines a physical keyboard with a touchscreen. The display is a small 2.6-inch which has a high 480 x 320 resolution for a screen of this size, so fonts and images on the screen appear very sharp.
QWERTY messenger form factor. If you are considering this type of phone, that is really the first issue you must resolve. Are you willing to give up screen real estate for a physical QWERT keyboard. Having shifted from a phone with a physical QWERTY keyboard six months ago, I have pretty much concluded that I will never be able to type as fast on a pure touchscreen phone as against one with a good old physical QWERTY keyboard.
If your main purpose for a phone is calls, SMS, email, instant and social networking, this may be the best choice for you. If web browsing, ebook and document reading, photo editing and playing games is a main concern you are probably better off with a pure touchscreen phone with a larger (at least 3.2 inch) screen. Put simply, Angry Birds wont be as much fun on a 2.6-inch screen.
Hardware. The HTC ChaCha is nicely built with a metal bofy. The phone has a Arm v6 800MHz processor, 512MB of RAM and 512MB of ROM. The phone comes with a 2GB MicroSD card, and storage is expandable to 32GB. The hardware is more than sufficient for those who want a phone for voice calls, email and messaging and social networking. Arm v6, means it has limited rather than full flash support in the browser, and as we said earlier it is not really a good gaming platform. "Power users" would be better off looking elsewhere.
The phone has a 5MP auto focus primary camera with a LED flash and secondary VGA camera for voice chat and the like. The camera is decent but nothing to get excited about. Other phone with 5MP cameras, like the Samsung Galaxy Ace and the HTC Wildfire S snap better pictures.
Facebook button. The HTC ChaCha has plenty of character with the trademark Android chin distinguishing from the typical QWERTY phone and a dedicated Facebook button to launch the phone Facebook app on the chin. This is a nice phone from the standpoint of build quality, but no matter what you do, the first thing people will notice if the blue "F" on the body. It tells a lot about the user.
Similar phones. The HTC ChaCha can be found at a price of Php13,500 which puts it in the same price range as other QWERTY messenger phones like the BlackBerry Curve 3G and is substantially cheaper than Nokia E6. Among these three options the HTC ChaCha is a much better choice than the E6. Hardware wise, it is a better choice than the Curve 3G. The Curve 3G would only be a better choice if you plan to avail of BlackBerry Internet, Messaging or Social Services.
Samsung also has its Galaxy Pro B7510 with similar specifications to the ChaCha and can be found at about 2K lower. The Galaxy Pro B7510 has a lower resolution screen, and its plastic case is less impressive than the HTC ChaCha. Basically, the Galaxy Pro B7510 is cheaper, but the HTC ChaCha is the better build phone. The Facebook button is just another "plus".
If you do want a QWERTY messenger phone, I think this would be the best choice for most users.
Acquisition options. Despite being a nicely build phone the HTC ChaCha is probably going to be a hard sell at its Php13,500. It is not the phone itself, it is QWERTY messengers in general. Most buyers will find the 3.2-inch pure touchscreen form factor of the HTC Wildfire or the 3.5-inch Samsung Galaxy Ace more appealing at this price range.
The HTC ChaCha becomes a really good deal on a postpaid line. SMART Communications is offering this phone free at Data Plan 1000, which gives you 100MB of data, 40 minutes and 100 SMS to all networks. The Wildfire S is offered at Unlimited Data Plan 1500 while the Galaxy Ace is offered by two carries at Plan 1800.
If SMART's Data Plan 1000 fits your need, this becomes a very inexpensive and stylish option for keeping connection to your social networks.
Laptop buying advice: Keyboard selection
LaptopMag posted an Article entitled "5 Things to Look For in Your Next Notebook Keyboard." Most important is the importance of a good palm rest, where LaptopMag noted "Make sure that both of your wrists fit comfortably on the palm rest. If your hands hang off the edge, your shoulder muscles have to lift the entire weight of your arms as you type, possibly resulting in shoulder pain and injury." Of my two laptops, it looks like one fails in this regard. This is something most of us do not think about when selecting a new laptop, and looks like it is something we should consider. Ironically, the newer HD 16:9 screen resolutions now almost universally adopted will make getting a a good keyboard harder.
What Apple needs to do with its iPhone 4
Apple iPhone 5 rumors have been running around for months, and the delay of the release of the new phone has only made the rumor mill run harder. I don't think Apple has to do all that much to make its next iPhone a success.
Bigger camera. A 5MP camera just does not cut it anymore these days. The Sony CEO stated several months back that Sony will be building its excellent camera for the next iPhone. Expect at least a 8MP unit.
Larger screen. The iPhone 3.5-inch screen is really starting to look small, but I do not expect Apple to follow the Android manufacturers lead with monster 4.3 to 4.5-inch phones. A nice incremental increase to 3.7 to 4inches would a good step for Apple, giving a larger screen and maintaining the handy size. If Apple built a monster screened iPhone, it would have to release its top of the line product in two sizes, one with a smaller screen. Not everyone finds handling a phone with a larger 4.3 to 4.5-inch comfortable.
Dual core processor. Putting in the same 1 GHz dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 processor and PowerVR SGX543MP2 GPU as the iPad 2 will be enough to keep user happy for the next two years. Putting this in a phone the size as the current iPhone will be an amazing technological feat on its own. No one has put a dual core processor in a phone as small as the iPhone.
LTE/4G. Most of the world does not need LTE or 4G yet, but if you are picking up a new phone to keep for two years, I think this in one feature many people will be looking for. If not, it will be deja vu. In 2007 when the iPhone launched without 3G.
SMART's Netphone
SMART Communications is about to release it's Netphone announced in Barcelona, Spains last February, and with it a new set of plans designed around the new phone.
The Netphone is a ZTE Blade, a Google Android 2.2 powered phone which has a 3.5-inch 480 x 800 screen resolution, a 600 MHz ARM 11 processor, Adreno 200 GPU, Qualcomm MSM7227 chipset and 512MB of RAM and a 3.2 MP auto-focus camera.
It is being offered on SMART's regular postpaid plans, being offered free at Data Lite Plan 800 with a two year contract. Where the SMART Netphone package really shines is in the prepaid department.
First, the SMART Netphone is being offered for prepaid plans at a price of Php9,900. This pretty much makes it the value for money Smartphone being offered in the market today.
Second, the more interesting thing about the SMART Netphone are the new plans being offered with this phone. For Php999 you get unlimited access to your social networks via Social Stream and unlimited chat through Netphone Messenger and a chat service of your choosing (YM, FB Chat), 1GB of Data for surfing, and 200 minutes of calls and 3500 texts to SMART subscribers. Not bad at all for Php999.
They also offer similarly low priced daily plans for as low as Php10 per day (click on the image for details).
What we cannot say much about are the new services offered with the phone. The phone has its own proprietary messenger and social networking apps, with a global directory which stores your phonebook online under the SmartNet brand. SmartNet looks like SMART is creating a online community. There could be some privacy issues here, but we will have to wait and see.
While we are all interested in the new iPhone and Android Ice Cream phones to be released, the SMART Netphone looks like the most significant release for the Philippine market. A smartphone with an affordable service making it really smart.

The perfect Tablet PC
Lenovo has made Tablet PC's for a long time, but their over Php100K prices and their weight made them expensive and a but heavy for something to be carried in hand. I remember when I first saw the X41 Tablet six years ago and have been wanting one ever since. From a practical standpoint it was hard to justify. The Lenovo Thinkpad X41 Tablet weighed in at 3.6 pounds, and with an extended battery that would go up to 4.3 pounds.
Five years later, the same problem still hounds the Tablet PC. The current model Lenovo X220 Tablet weighs in at 3.9 pounds, and that is with a four cell battery. While 3.9 pounds is fine for a laptop it is a bit ungainly for a tablet. Lenovo does have its new light Lenovo ThinkPad Tablet, with a detachable keyboard, but I really would prefer one that had a swivel to allow the screen to rotate and fold over the keyboard. I would also like it to have a larger keyboard than the Lenovo ThinkPad Tablet.
Cut out some weight. Apple can build an 11.6-inch Intel Core i5 MacBook laptop and bring the weight down to 2.5 pounds. From Lenovo's Tablet PC's converting its ultraportables into a tablet adds about 0.6 pounds. It would seem feasible to built a 11.6-inch X220 Tablet type device at 3 pounds of less.
Starting with the 3.9 pound weight of the X220 Tablet, cutting its 12.5-inch screen to 11.6-inch should result in some reduction in weight. Inside, instead of an Core i5 processor which needs a design that can handle a thermal design point of 35W, I would be happy with AMD Fusion chip which only has a 9W TDP or even better, a dual core ARM processor which will only need a chassis designed to dissipate less than 4W of heat. Instead of a 500GB hard drive, 64GB of flash storage should be enough. What OS? Well if an AMD Fusion machine, than Windows or one of the Linux operating systems. If an ARM machine, Android or Linux.
So how about it Lenovo?
Symbian Belle, the latest updated to Nokia Symbian S^3 operating system will bring a pull-down notification shade, re-sizable widgets, a one-tap method to add them, a scrolling application list of icons and additional home screens, all in making Symbian OS decided Android looking.
Copycat or not, it looks good, and one reason I chose Android was that it looks some elements I liked from the Windows Mobile and Symbian interfaces. Now I wonder whether Nokia needs Windows Phone 7 at all. They have brought Symbian to a level where its biggest problem is not the interface, but support since its end-of-life has been announced, and they also have a interesting MeeGo handset.
If Symbian Belle had been ready when the Nokia N8 had been release last year, I suspect things would be very different today.

Testing Smart 3G speeds
When I got my Unlimited Data plan for Smart Communications I was not expecting it to be too fast in general, since I had been using the time based service for several years. It was pretty fast in Makati CBD and The Fort in Taguig, but slower in other areas. I noticed it had become faster as of late, in areas where I am used to getting a average connection speed. So I started doing speed tests using Ookla's Speedtest.net for Mobile App and I am pretty impressed with the results.
August 23, 2011 at Starbuck's Aguirre, BF Paranaque:
The test was conducted at 9:05 P.M.
August 25, 2011 at Starbuck's Powerstation, Macapagal, Pasay City:
The test was conducted at 10:39 A.M.
August 25, 2011 at Red Ribbon's, Km. 16 Aguinaldo Highway, Bacoor, Cavite.
Steve Jobs steps down as CEO of Apple
The big news today is not some new piece of mobile technology but the resignation of Steve Jobs as CEO of Apple. Mr. Jobs will continue to serve as Chairman of the Board of Directors of Apple.
Apple will go on without Mr. Jobs directing its day to day operations, but the reality is that people like Steve Jobs really cannot be replaced. I new he would be retiring soon, but I thought he would wait till the release of the iPhone 5. I don't want to speculate on this. Every person deserves their privacy.
The impact Mr. Jobs had on the industry cannot be understated. While I always felt that Apple did not cater to developing countries like the Philippines, and if Apple had their way our computers and smartphones would cost more, the innovations brought about by Apple, directly or indirectly, benefitted us all.
The past thirty years has been quite a ride, and it was magical watching you.
Globe Telecom use of the Tonino Lamborgini in violation of trademark?
Techie.com.ph reports that the use by Globe Telecom of the Tonino Lamborgini name for its 4G broad band service allegedly infringes on the trademark of an Italian Company name Tonino Lambofghini s.r.l.
Tonino Lambofghini s.r.l. released the following statement:
BOLOGNA, ITALY - (Marketwire - Aug. 23, 2011) - Tonino Lamborghini s.r.l., an Italy-based company which is the sole lawful owner worldwide of the trademark "Tonino Lamborghini" hereunder
wishes to inform its customers that unauthorized people are currently trading online and through Globe stores a "4G Tatto Tonino Lamborghini" broadband stick which is a counterfeited product.
Tonino Lamborghini s.r.l. has never manufactured or authorized anyone to manufacture such a product which constitutes therefore a serious trademark infringement.
Moreover the advertising campaign "Feed your need for speed" featuring Marlon Stockinger, first Filipino to win a formula race in Europe, is deceitful and unlawful since it leads to a serious likelihood of confusion between two different and separate brands and businesses that is to say "Tonino Lamborghini" and "Automobili Lamborghini".
Tonino Lamborghini s.r.l. shall take any legal action to protect the brand.

Samsung has a new naming scheme for its smartphones
Samsung's naming scheme for it smartphone can get a bit confusing. We know the Galaxy S is the flagship, SL must mean "lesser S", and that you have the three named Ace, Fit and Mini and those who have no names and just have numbers, like the 551 and the 5.
Samsung has come up with a new more rational naming scheme for its Galaxy line of smartphones. The flagship Samsung retains the "S" designation. The next levels are the "R" which is one level lower than "S", and than and the "W". These all considered high end phones. Mid-level phones will be sold under the "M" label while entry level Galaxy phones will be sold under the "Y" label. Those with physical keyboards will be named "Pro". For example "Galaxy M Pro".
Samsung's upcoming Galaxy M Pro and Galaxy W.
Lenovo ThinkPad Tablet: Productivity tablet done right
The Android 3.1 Honeycomb Lenovo ThinkPad Tablet is now available for sale abroad. I hope this hits Philippine shores. It is the productivity tablet done right. The ThinkPad Tablet has a 1280 x 800 multitouch display, 1GB of memory, front- and rear-facing cameras and a NVIDIA Tegra 2 dual core processor, full sized USB ports and SD card slot. The 16GB model is priced at $499, a 32GB version a 32GB version for $569 and a 64GB option for $669. Basic specs and price-wise, the ThinkPad Tablet is on par with the Apple iPad 2 and its Android competition. Most Android tablets which match iPad pricing do not fare very well, and while the ThinkPad Tablet is targeting a more limited market, I think it will do very well in its target market.
Like the Asus Eee Pad Transformer, the ThinkPad Tablet has a detachable keyboard. When not in use the tablet can fold over the keyboard so it can be carried around just like a laptop. You can attach a physical keyboard to the iPad too, but this is designed more like a desktop keyboard and is not as handy to carry around. So if you want a Tablet which can double as a laptop, the Transformer, which has been selling well, and the ThinkPad Tablet are your best bets,
The Transformer is cheaper than the ThinkPad Tablet at US$399, with the keyboard the price is US$549. While the ThinkPad Tablet starts at US$499, with the keyboard it comes in at US$599, reducing the gap to just US$50. You can also add a stylus to your ThinkPad Tablet for another US$30.
The ThinkPad Tablet comes with 25 pre-installed productivity, security and entertainment apps which include includes Good Technology's Good for Enterprise mobile app suite, Cisco AnyConnect secure VPN client, Absolute Software's Computrace Mobile device tracker, DataViz' Documents To Go, Printer Anywhere's PrinterShare and McAfee Mobile Security. This is clearly a tablet target at the mobile professional.
If you are looking for a tablet, which can also replace your laptop this is the one. The Lenovo ThinkPad Tablet will not challenge the iPad 2 in sales, and is not designed to be an iPad 2 killer. But for the mobile professional, this looks like the best tablet in the market.
Lower cost Apple iPhone "4" in production?
GSM Arena reports that a cheaper Apple iPhone is under production "with a lower memory capacity and the new 8GB flash drive is being manufactured by an undisclosed Korean company" targeted at emerging markets. The current iPhone 4 has 512MB of RAM, and it seem possible to cut this to as little as 256MB, since the first generation iPad only has that much memory.
No word on whether the cheaper iPhone 4 will retain the current 640 x 960 pixels, 3.5-inch retina diplay of the iPhone 4 or the lower resolution 320 x 480 pixel 3.5 inch screen of the older iPhones. Since the new iPhone 5 (or 4S or some other similar name) will reportedly have a larger screen it seems to make sense that the cheaper iPhone will have a retina display.
How much? The current iPhone sells off contract at a bit over US$600, depending on your location. A new cheaper model should sell at the US$300-400 range. If Apple wanted to create an even lower end model, they could just continue producing the iPhone 3GS.
Android with 480 x 800 screens are now available for as little as Php17,000, and I expect to see it going into lower end phones by later this year or early next year. The lower resolution 320 x 480 pixel resolution will become the standard for Android phone at the Php10,000 range, with the LG Optimus One already available with that specification at that the price.
Acer Iconia Tab W500, 32GB Tablet PC
I got a chance to get a look at the Acer Iconia Tab W500, 32GB Tablet PC. The W500 runs on the AMD Fusion C-50 APU I have seen. The AMD C-50 has a substantially slower processor and weaker graphics than the AMD Fusion E-350 APU. The main advantage of the C-50 is that it only requires a cooling system capable of dissipating a 9W thermal design point ("TDP"), which is half of what 18W TDP requirement of the E-350.
Despite the cool running nature of the AMD Fusion C-50, we have seen it being placed in laptops like the 11.6-inch Acer Aspire One 722, the Asus 1215B and even larger laptop which could easily cool a AMD Fusion E-350.
With the Acer Iconia Tab W500 we see the best use of the AMD Fusion C-50. It is a mobile device with a 10.1-inch screen, weighing in at just 2.2 pounds, can play HD video (720p easily and 1080p works but not as smoothly as you may like) and with 4-5 hours of battery life for Php28,990. Sound like a poor mans MacBook Air.
But it is not...
Unfortunately, the AcerIconiaW500 is a Windows 7 Tablet. I am sure you are asking what is wrong with that?
Balance. Because it is a tablet, the processor, memory, storage and battery are all found in the "lid" making it top heavy when used together with the keyboard.
Awkward carry. Unlike the Asus Eee Pad Transformer which effectively works like a laptop when you plug the tablet into the keyboard, Acer Iconia Tab W500 does not. You cannot fold the "lid" over the keyboard. Instead all you can do is to detach the keyboard.
This means when carrying around the tablet and the keyboard, they have to be carried around as two separate pieces.
Using this technology to create the W500, Acer could have made a really nice 11.6-inch ultraportable laptop, instead Acer made a 10.1-inch Windows 7 tablet with a keyboard which just does not feel well thought out.

Smart 3G speed test from Starbuck's Aguirre, BF Paranaque
My mobile 3G connection speeds vary. Often times too slow to actually use the web browser, video streaming or downloading. But email, instant messaging, viewing streams and posting to social networks and most apps work fine.
Tonight, while at Starbuck's Aguirre, BF Paranaque, I noticed the connection was pretty zippy, so I tried to find out how fast. Using Ookla's Speedtest.net for Mobile App I conducted a speed test. I was very happy with the result.
I have more Smart 3G speed tests here.
October is for "Ice Cream"
We are expect a new Apple iOS 5 touting iPhone in October, but really that will be an anti-climactic released. iOS 5 will bring in Android like notifications and Android like OTA updates, tighter Windows Phone 7 like social networking integration and Cloud computing which has been provided by to many different services to mention. The Apple iPad 2 already gives a good preview of what to expect from the hardware, and will be enough to keep the Apple faithful in tow. More interesting is whether Apple will be making a stab at the mid and lower tier smartphone markets.
What is more interesting in October is the release of Android 4.0 Ice Cream. This will merge the Android 2.x smartphone operating system with the Android 3.x tablet operating system into one unified operating system. Here things are a little more uncertain. The next Nexus phone would seem to have the following specifications, a 4.65-inch 720p (1280 x 720), a 1.5GHz dual core processor, 1GB of RAM a 16GB or more of internal storage. Hardware wise, this will be the most significant Android phone release since the Google Nexus One. But like the iOS release, this will be anti-climactic too. Think smaller Honeycomb tablet.
What is interesting is what happens to the lower end single core Android's after Ice Cream is released? Will they be doomed to Gingerbread forever? Devices with 3.2-inch screens and small, and 320 x 480 screen resolutions and lower are a large part of the Android market share. What does Ice Cream have in store for these devices.
So, in the case of the iOS and Android, we pretty much have an idea of what the main course will be. I am really more interested in the desert.
September is for Mango
I was expecting a new Apple iPhone in September, but that has been pushed back. Microsoft has been preparing its Windows Phone 7 Mango to be ready before the launch of the iPhone 5, for what I think will be the start of the final assault. The operating system is ready, we are just waiting for the phones.
HTC, which has a long history with Microsoft will be bringing its best foot forward this September. BGR reports that be announcing the HTC Eternity, a Windows Phone 7 Mango device featuring a 3.7-inch display and the HTC Omega with a whopping 4.5-inch screen. The 4.5-inch screen on the Omega is a bit smaller than the rumored 4.7-inch device HTC was preparing for Windows Phone 7.
Samsung will be releasing two new Windows Phone 7 devices, one probably being similar in specifications to the Galaxy S II. I also expect to see new smartphones from Acer,, Dell, LG and ZTE Corporation and of course, Nokia.
I expect all the devices to be launched will be targeting the mid and high end segment of the smartphone market. I don't expect to see lower cost Windows Phone 7 Tango devices till 2012.
This is either the start of Windows Phone 7 rise in the market, or the start of the end. We will all find out in a few months.
The car, the pick-up and the truck
More than a year after the Apple iPad's release, with more than 30 million sold, people still question whether the tablet is a practical device. The answer to that is a simple yes.
As the "Personal Computer" has evolved it, has moved from a machine designed for business, to a household device, and now is a personal communication, entertainment and productivity device.
For years we were stuck with the desktop as our only personal computer, for reasons of cost. The laptop had been around for some time, since the Dulmont Magnum in 1985. But with the entry level model going for US$2,995. That was a lot of money in 1985, and it is still a lot of money today. It was only after the year 2000 that laptops started dropping in price and became available to the regular consumer as an alternative computing choice to the desktop. The tablet now gives you a third choice.
The tablet is the car of the computing world. A good choice to take you around day to day, but with its primary function being people transport. A tablet is useful for someone whose computing needs is mainly web browsing, reading and writing email, note taking, instant messaging, listening to music, basic photo editing, watching movies and playing games. Some in the industry call it the "media" tablet, and that is pretty much correct. A tablet is a great computer for someone who does not use the computer for work. I know many will disagree with this.
The laptop is the pick-up truck of the computing world. Small enough to be a daily driver, and capable enough to do some serious work. Many people chose a laptop for lack of choice, but if you do not spend much time typing documents, preparing spreadsheets and the like, a keyboard is not all that important. If you don't use a keyboard much, the virtual keyboard of the tablet should be sufficient. You could add a keyboard to a tablet, but than it really just becomes a ARM powered laptop, with a touchscreen and a detachable keyboard.
The desktop is the truck of the PC world. The desktop is still the platform of choice for those who need a computer for a dedicated task, whether that task be a workstation or a hardcore gaming machine. The highest end desktop components still have a little more power than the highest end laptop components.
Which one is best for you? It really depends on your needs. Do you need a car, a pick-up or a tuck?

Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 16GB WiFi + 3G @Php25,400
The Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 3G is now available at CMK Cellphone's for just Php25,400 with a official one year Samsung Warranty. Yikes! If you bought the Samsung Galaxy Tab on pre-order during the Samsung Promo for Php26,990, you will be wondering why it is not being offered for Php1,590 cheaper the day after your pre-order pick-up date. Well for Php26,990 on pre-order you do get a free leather sleeve. It better had been a very nice sleeve.
Samsung better get its promo's in order because the way I look at it:
Php25,400 for a SGT 10.1 = Php26,990 for a SGT 10.1 + Sleeve
So basically, there was no "promo" or you might have been better off not availing of the promo.
Anyway, at Php25,400 with 16GB or internal storage and WiFi/3G is Php5,500 cheaper than the Apple iPad 2 WiFi + 3G which sells for Php30,990.

Globe Telecom's BlackBerry MAX plan
BlackBerry's are primarily desired not for the technological prowess of the phones itself, but the email, instant messaging, web browsing and other internet services which can only be assessed to BlackBerry's.
Data plans for local telecommunications providers pretty much give you now allow users of Android, iOS and Windows devices services similar to what is provided by BlackBerry plans. Globe Telecom has a unlimited Data Plan for phones is at Php999 per month while Sun Cellular has a data plan at Php749 per month. Smart's data plan are part of a call and SMS package, with the data aspect costing you about Php1,200 per month, though this plan comes with some restrictions on use and a 1.5GB cap.
This made getting a BlackBerry less desirable, since a unlimited BlackBerry plan with full email, instant messaging and web browsing access would cost you Php1,200 per month.
Globe now has a new lower price on its BlackBerry MAX Plan which gives you unlimited web browsing, email, instant messaging, social networking, downloading and streaming at Php599 for 30 days. This gives the BlackBerry the cheapest unlimited data plan in the market.
This is good news for BlackBerry owners (on Globe anyway, but I suspect Smart and Sun will follow soon with similar offers). If you are looking to buy a phone, this might give you a good enough reason to get a BlackBerry rather than an Android and iOS device.
Globe Telecom volume based data plans
In response to Smart Communications Always On data plans, Globe Telecom has added volume based data plans under its PowerSurf packages.
Right now the plans are offered as a promo valid until November 15, 2011. Subscribers with Globe Postpaid Plan, My Super Plan, My Fully Loaded Plan, or My Super Circle Plan can avail of this offer except those on Load Tipid Plans, Load Allowance Plans, Globe Broadband Tattoo Plans or My SuperSurf Plans.
Once you subscribe to the service it auto-renews after the expiration date. If you want to unsubscribe you have to text PowerSurf Off to 8888.
You should select the right volume for you. If you consume allocated volume the expiry period, you will be charged the regular Php5 per 15 minutes rate. SMS notifications are sent out to users at 50% and 100% usage.
Plans like this will allow many users to get the full potential from their smartphones. I hope the offer become permanent.
Mobile computers: The Desktop Replacement still rules
A recent article on LaptopMags Blog was rather eye opening. The mobile computing world is not as mobile as we think. For the first quarter of 2011, The breakdown of mobile computer sales for the period are as follows:
Tablets - 13.8%
10-inch netbooks/laptops - 16.3%
11 and 12 inch netbooks/laptops - 4.3%
13 and 14 inch laptops - 27.1%
15 inch laptops - 33.6%
16+ inch laptops - 5%
The world is going more mobile, but not as fast as we think. Better than one in three laptops sold had a 15-inch screen, with another 5% having even larger screens. This is the category of laptops often referred to as desktop replacements typically weight six pounds or more by buyers who do not expect to carry their devices around too much. This is lower than the previous year, so there is a trend towards smaller and lighter.
16+ inch laptops - 8.9%
Total: 44.1%
Total 38.6%
Netbook sales have slowed down, but not as fast as we think. Sales of 10-inch laptops for Q1 2010 and Q1 2011 were as follows:
Q1 2010 (10 inch netbooks/laptops) - 17.1%
The real difference is not volume, but price. Netbook prices have been dropping since the introduction of the tablet, which should mean smaller margins for a product that was already producing small profit margins.
Tablets are popular, but mainly in North America. The figures of tablets sold in Quarter 1, 2011 were as follows:
North America - 24.8%
Worldwide - 13.8%
iPads are popular, but mainly in North America. The figures of iPads sold in Quarter 1, 2011 were as follows:
Basically, the exciting new gadgets which are the darlings of tech writers are not as popular and do not sell as well, as old clunky desktop replacements.
Milestone GSM Androids
Wondering why your shiny new droid starts to loose its luster quick, it looks like the Android product life cycle is 6 months or less, while most other gadgets are refreshed on a yearly basis. Here is a look at some of the milestone Android phones for the past three years.
HTC Dream (Released February) - 3.2 inch TFT 320 x 480 screen, 192MB RAM, 528 MHz ARM 11 processor, Adreno 130 GPU and full QWERTY keypad.
HTC Dream (Released June) - 3.2 inch TFT 320 x 480 screen, Gorilla Glass Display, 288MB RAM, 528 MHz ARM 11 processor and Adreno 130 GPU.
Motorola Milestone (Released November) - 3.7 inch TFT 480 x 854 screen, Gorilla Glass Display, 256MB RAM, ARM Cortex A8 600 MHz, PowerVR SGX530 graphics, and full QWERTY keypad.
Google Nexus One (HTC)(Released January) - 3.7 inch AMOLED 480 x 800 screen, Gorilla Glass Display, 512MB RAM, 1 GHz Scorpion processor, Adreno 200 GPU, Qualcomm QSD8250 Snapdragon chipset, with four capacitative buttons.
Samsung I9000 Galaxy S (Released June) - 4.0 inch Super AMOLED 480 x 800 screen, Gorilla Glass Display, 512MB RAM, 1 GHz ARM Cortex-A8 processor, PowerVR SGX540 GPU, and Hummingbird chipset.
HTC Desire HD (Released September) - 4.3 inch TFT 480 x 800 screen, Gorilla Glass Display, 768MB RAM, 1 GHz Scorpion processor, Adreno 205 GPU and Qualcomm QSD8255 Snapdragon chipset.
LG Optimus 2X (Released February) - 4.0 inch TFT 480 x 800 screen, Gorilla Glass Display, 512MB RAM, Dual-core 1GHz ARM Cortex-A9 processor and ULP GeForce GPU and Tegra 2 AP20H chipset.
Motorola Atrix (Released April) - 4.0 inch TFT 540 x 960 screen, Gorilla Glass Display, 1GB RAM, Dual-core 1GHz ARM Cortex-A9 processor and ULP GeForce GPU, Tegra 2 AP20H chipset.
Samsung I9100 Galaxy S II (Released June) - 4.3 inch Super AMOLED 480 x 800 screen, Gorilla Glass Display, 1GB RAM, Dual-core 1.2GHz ARM Cortex-A9 proccessor, Mali-400MP GPU, Exynos chipset.
What do we expect before the end of 2011?
The next Android- 4.7 inch Super AMOLED 720 x 1280 screen, Gorilla Glass Display, 1GB RAM and Dual-core 1.5GHz processor.
One day this will slowdown as the platform matures, but right now you can expect the smartphone technology to move at this blistering pace.
The app bubble
A few days ago, I wrote a post entitled "App stores and markets, by the numbers" where I recounted that five months after having gotten an Android phone
"... I have downloaded over 100 apps in five months (some came pre-installed but have updated by me so they count as a download). This puts me above the iOS user average. I have browsed through maybe 1,500 apps in five months. Lately, I just check the top and trending app charts. I have not seen more than 1% of the apps on the Android Market, and the number I have tried is about 1 app in every 2,500 available.
I have kept 47 of the apps I downloaded, of which 42 came from the Android Market, four from the HTC Hub and one from Gameloft. My biggest source of Apps is from Google itself with twelve of my apps being developed by Google.
Of my 47 apps, after checking, I really have never used nine of them except to try them a decide that I might need it sometime in the future."
Apparently, my limited use of apps is well above that of the average Android user. Ryan Kim of GiGaom writes:
"Android users have about 250,000 apps to choose from but most have little use for any of them outside the top 50. x x x the top 10 Android apps account for 43 percent of the time spent on all mobile apps by Android users. And when you look at the top 50 apps, 61 percent of the time spent is on these apps. That means that if you’re an app maker on Android, you’re facing long odds at being used if you’re even in the bottom half of the top 100. And if you’re lost among the rest of the 249,550 apps, good luck getting any usage."
While Ms. Kim has no similar data on Apple users, when you consider that the 2.5 billion US dollars in revenue Apple boast as having paid to its developers, divided among 300,000 apps (the Apple App stores has 425,000 apps but about 20-30% are free), is an average profit to developers of below US$9,000 per app. Some app developers are earning in the millions, so for the rest, lets just say it is not enough to quit your day job.
With everyone getting into it, I wonder if this is the next internet bubble which will burst. Well for many developers at least.

Almalence HDR Camera and HDR Camera+ for Android
Having a wide range of light intensity like bright lights, back lighting, reflecting light and shaded areas is really a problem for photographers. Much more when your tool is mobile phone camera with limited settings. HDR technology allows you to capture details in bright and dark areas and have them merged in a single photo, balancing the bright and light areas. This is done by taking several differently exposed images in series, which are than aligned and merged.
Almalence has a free Android app called HDR Camera, and a paid version (US$2.99) called HDR Camera+. The free version has a nag screen which can be disabled for US$1.99.
Basically, this is what it can do:
Picture with the default camera app. All those light sources are a nightmare.
Same shot, with HDR Camera.
The free HDR Camera app has the following features:
- Full resolution
- Take HDR image in one tap
- HDR image fused and tone-mapped on device within seconds
- Don't have to be rock-solid while shooting
- Correct handling of moving objects and de-ghosting
- You can control tone-mapping parameters: contrast, micro-contrast, color vividness, exposure
- Save original exposure bracketed images
The paid HDR Camera+ app adds the following features:
- Location tagging
- Shutter sound can be muted
- Support for Flash on/off/auto
With free and paid versions available, there really is no reason not to have it in your phones application arsenal.
The rumours of Nokia's death have been somewhat premature
While it has been widely reported that Apple and Samsung are now the No. 1 and 2 in the smartphone world, that is only true if you count units shipped. If you look at units sold in the second quarter of 2011, Nokia is still number 1. Fox Business reported that "Gartner, which counts sales of mobile handsets to end users rather than units shipped by individual handset makers, said Nokia sold a total of 97.87 million units in the second quarter compared with 111.47 million units a year earlier, and had a total market share of 22.8%, down from 30.3%"
With the impending shift to Windows Phone 7, Nokia re-seller channels are keeping stocks low and trying to sell existing stock. Microsoft which looks panicky about its Windows Phone 7 operating system and seems to clings to every bit of news as some sign of a future for its mobile operating system should really just be pushing Nokia to get its Windows Phone 7 devices out the door.
Something not realized by plenty of technology writers based in the United States, where Nokia has about a 2% share is that in Asia and some other parts of the world, the name Nokia is a trusted brand and could boost Windows Phone 7 sales.
Each day of delay in the release of a Windows Phone 7 device by Nokia risks the migration of a existing Nokia user to another platform.
Price point. A Windows Phone 7 device today still cost a fair amount of money. You can always find grey market units for lower prices, but the cheapest Windows Phone 7 device we found in the Philippines with an official warranty is HTC 7 Mozart, which is now retailing for just under Php20,000. Nokia S60 smarthpones today start at around Php6K. If Nokia can manufacture and sell Windows Phone devices at substantially the lower price points remains to be seen, but a variant of the Windows Phone 7 operating system, called "Tango" is design to do just that.
If Nokia can hand Microsoft a 10% share of the smartphone market when it fully migrates to Windows Phone 7 devices by the second or third quarter of 2012, that will be more than enough. Apple's iOS operating system smartphone operating system has a 18.2% market share for the first two quarters of 2011, while Smartphones running Google;s Android operating system only had a 17.2% in 2010. In other words, 10% is not a bad start (Source: Gartner cited by Fox Business). The only question is, whether Nokia can use it name to get Microsoft back into the smartphone game.
When? "So just when will Nokia take delivery of their first Windows Phone smartphones? Well apparently Nokia Windows Phone devices are being manufactured by Taiwanese firm Compal and the latest word is that Compal will begin delivering Windows Phone handset to Nokia sometime in September" (Source: Phones Review).
How many? Even when the Nokia Windows Phone 7 devices start shipping, which sold almost 100 million smartphones in the second quarter of 2011, appears to have only ordered 2 million Nokia Windows Phone 7 devices (Source: Phones Review). That is not a lot.
Too little too late? I think we will have to wait for the end of the first quarter of 2012 to find out where this is going, by than Nokia will be knee deep in Windows Phone 7 devices or will be headed to becoming a full time feature phone maker.

Transformers Producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura: No More Michael Bay
Calvin Prickett
Paramount’s live-action Transformers franchise is in something of a presently precarious position. Following the surprising (to Paramount that is, not to audiences) box office failure of Michael Bay’s dreary The Last Knight, all eyes were on the erstwhile Bumblebee to see if the robots in disguise still had fuel in the tank.
And fuel it had; director Travis Knight’s Bumblebee became the best-reviewed flick out of all six live-action Transformers films, with a 93% Rotten Tomatoes score, and managed to propel its way into profitability on word-of-mouth alone.
Since then, producer and rights-holder Lorenzo di Bonaventura has been shooting his mouth off about the future of the series, and has almost consistently contradicted himself. From claims that Bumblebee is a prequel to the 2007 Michael Bay film (and, by extension, the five Bay films – an opinion which simply doesn’t hold up to much scrutiny, in terms of continuity), to Bumblebee being a soft-reboot, to Bumblebee being a prequel to a true mainline reboot, to claims of a Bay-directed sequel to The Last Knight, to – now – a definitive statement on the future of the brand.
“I think Bay has made it really clear that he loved what he did and he’s not doing anymore,” di Bonaventura said during a recent interview, “We’re writing a script. At that point, once we get script we have a strong belief in, then we’ll begin to debate [trying to get Bay back]. [But] Michael’s made it really clear that he didn’t want to do it. I don’t blame him. He spent a hell of a lot, a decade of his life, shooting them.”
di Bonaventura’s has made comments previously about where he hopes to go next with the brand: “I know the next [mainline Transformers film], our attempt anyway, is to sort of do a fusion of Bumblebee and the Bay movies…a little more Bayhem. And a little bit more of the character falling in love within the emotional dynamic of the movie. One of the things I want to do — and I hope we pull it off — is, we did it with Bumblebee because he’s so cute and he’s so accessible, but he can’t talk. I think the more human we can make these characters, the more people are going to like them.”
That new-found devotion to characterisation and emotional resonance rings true to the direction of Bumblebee, but it’s not hard to see why the producer is so reluctant to give up on the multi-million dollar formula of Bay’s features.
Still, when asked outright if a sequel to The Last Knight was in the works, Lorenzo di Bonaventura was clear: “No.”
Bumblebee is due for home-release on DVD, Blu-Ray and 4K, on the 13th of April, and is available for Digital Download now.

Crime Lab Division-History
CLD - Crime Lab Division
The MSHP first entered the field of forensic science by starting a crime laboratory in May of 1936. This laboratory was one of the first in the country. The FBI Laboratory had been in existence for only a few years at that time. For the entire year of 1939 the laboratory conducted 250 chemical, firearms and microscopic examinations. The laboratory was first housed in two small rooms of the Broadway Building in Jefferson City, Missouri. In October 1963 the laboratory moved to 4,000 square feet located in the basement of the new General Headquarters Building. The GHQ crime laboratory moved into 11,000 square feet located on the second floor of the General Headquarters Annex Building in October 1979. In December 2002, the Laboratory moved into the remaining area on the Annex second floor - nearly 20,000 square feet of space.

Unlikely pair: Diomedea epomorphora meets Dinornis maximus
Tiaroa Head is one of the only places in the world where you can see the Royal Albatross without using a Zodiac. These birds are massive. With a wingspan of 3 metres, they can easily be mistaken for personal aircraft. Their posture while soaring is careless, but precise. Every control surface is primed for maximum efficiency - they can move those huge wings like tentacles, wrapping around every little patch of lift. They're really just self-satisfied jumbo chickens. Grudgingly beautiful, as only an Albatross can be. Perfect sunset drives to the end of the Otago Peninsula can certainly pay off on windy days. But this speed zeppelin of a seabird has only become NZ's largest in the last few hundred years.
Fifteen million years ago, Central Otago was a lake. We know this because the mud, sand and gravel dumped into this lake from the surrounding hills are piled high under the golden tussock and savory scrub of Southland range. Ever since Lake Manuherikia dried up, its dry muck bottoms have been hosed down by every storm that manages to get past Fiordland into the dry rainshadow of the Southern Alps. Each downpour washes the gullies and swirls new tunnels and holes into the soft sediment. Since the Oligocene, the mountains have grown higher and higher until glaciers clung to the tops and crept to the valleys. Relentless grinding by ice turns any solid rock into a heap of pulverized dust the consistency of flour. The wild wind hauls it easily, and piles can accumulate miles away wherever the air slows enough to drop its load. The Germans named this phenomenon first, and we use the term 'loess' (read: luss) for deposits milled by glaciers and sorted by wind.
Until 800 years ago, outlandish birds trotted around New Zealand. That's not to say they don't anymore, it's just that they're so much smaller now. The Giant Moa of Southland stood at twelve feet. It was here, busy grazing during the Norman invasion of England. None are now alive, but Otago is littered with the record of flightless giants and the flying predators that ate them. Lake Manuherikia left the means to save the bones of bird and beast long enough for us to make educated guesses about life in the relatively recent past.
Huge three-toed golem-like grazers with heads smaller than your average chihuahua aren't the smartest animals in the zoo, so it's not surprising that the hundreds of old potholes in Lake Manuherikia sediment contain more than a few Giant Moa skeletons, extinct Kiwi femurs, and Haast Eagle claws. Every time a wandering bird died in the treacherous booby-trapped terrain, it was covered by windblown loess and rain-washed mud. Some skeletons were buried so quickly that they are still assembled correctly. The process is still happening every season, trapping modern mammals, sheep and rabbits together with the ancient forms they have replaced (with the help of human colonizers). Each storm that passes acts as a bulldozer, trencher, and industrial blender all in one - resulting in such confusion of the strata that ancient and modern bones are juxtaposed in unlikely ways.
So maybe I can be excused for spending an hour exposing a rabbit that died five years ago - my vertebrate anatomy suffered from overexcitement, and I realized only too late that my prize had huge front teeth, quite unlike a bird. But we discovered other clues as we poked along on Ray Bell's ranch. We got the idea from a PhD student in Dunedin, Jamie Wood, who directed us to Chatto Creek. Carey Donald joined us for a long weekend holiday from her research in Australia, and we wound through the Otago hills until we saw Jamie's landmark: a lot of old cars and a bridge. That's how we wandered into Mr. Bell's front yard.
He and his wife were busy butchering a deer. A few minutes of explanation, and Ray was happy to show us everything. We were told to wait in his garage while he finished up - amusing ourselves by examining his red '69 T-bird. Left hand drive. "God those yanks can make a beautiful cahr." He had several other vehicles of all ages and kinds scattered along the hill. He opened the back of a segregation-era bus and produced a meter-long pelvis. Imagine something the size of a watermelon comfortably fitting between the major bones. He fitted two drainpipe-size femurs into their sockets as Eric held the pelvis at the appropriate hight. "That's about right then, eh Lofty?" These bones came from up the gully he explained, leaning on his cane while bits of venison dribbled down his apron onto some classic gumboots. Eric's new nickname has stuck. "Ah, bot you're americans eh, ye don't weahr the gumboots then. You can take a look out there anyhow, dry enough yet. Whaddayou think Lofty?"
Eric didn't have to think long. We spent the rest of the afternoon poking about the gully. Among leftover rabbits and sheep, we found a spare bit of odd eggshell and some promisingly hollow little bones. It was enough to show us that we needed to come back. During an extended tour of the Thunderbird, Ray promised to take us out in the truck to see the real hotspot further up the track. We've made our appointment for this Wednesday. The Chatto Creek tavern and bunkhouse is right across the street.
Today is our last day in Dunedin, and the city seems to be trying to redeem its reputation with us by a string of beautifully cold and lucky days of wildlife spotting. By the time we have the Carat packed up, say goodbye to friends and professors, and chow down at Friendly's Noodle house, leaving Dunedin will seem like leaving home - and it's not a moment too soon. We've got mountains to see, bones to find, and straits to cross. The Subduction Recon Team rides again!

“GHATAK” 7.62 x 39 mm MAKE IN INDIA ASSAULT RIFLE FOR POLICE FORCES AND MHA UNITS:
7.62 x 39 mm Assault Rifle (Ghaatak) for MHA Units and Police Forces.
Pune 14 Aug 2017 (PCP NEWS Devendra Jain) : After Changing the Caliber of Assault Rifle from 5.56 x 45 mm, Ordnance Factory Board (OFB) has ingenuously developed 7.62 x 39 mm Assault Rifle (Ghaatak) for MHA Units and Police Forces, under “Make in India” program.
Rifle Factory Ishapore (RFI) successfully developed Rifle 5.56 x 45 mm Excalibur in association with Army. The Gun has been tried by the Indian Army and Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA). RFI has already supplied around 20000 Nos. Excalibur Rifles to various Police Forces. The design of 5.56 x 45 mm Assault Rifle Excalibur is established and proven. However, in August, 2016, Army changed the caliber of the Assault Rifle from 5.56 x 45 mm to 7.62 x 51 mm. As a result of this change of caliber, the indigenous Assault Rifle of 5.56 x 45 mm Caliber could not be inducted in Army.
After elaborate evaluation, State and Central Police Forces have placed order of around 5000 Nos. out of which OFB has already supplied 1230 Nos. The Indian Army and Indian Navy will be evaluating this Ghatak Rifle, which the Rifle Factory Ishapore (RFI) successfully developed Rifle 5.56 x 45mm Excalibur in association with Army. The Gun has been tried by the Indian Army and Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA). RFI has already supplied around 20000 Nos, Excalibur Rifles to various Police Forces. The design of 5.56 x 45mm Assault Rifle Excalibur is established and proven.
Line Directorate caters for introduction of new equipment as replacement for equipment which it plans to phase out. Case for declaring an equipment ‘Obsolete’ is taken up by Line Directorate, Army Headquarters (Infantry Directorate, Army Headquarters for Small Arms). No further provisioning for said equipment and spares is done thereafter.
RFI had developed 5.56 x 45 mm INSAS 1C Assault Rifle in the year 2015-16. The Rifle was extensively evaluated by Army and was able to achieve reliability of international standards. PCP/DJ 12 30

The HIV epidemic in India is concentrated among high risk groups (sex workers, men-having-sex-with-men, injecting drug users and clients of sex workers), though there is evidence of the infection spreading to the general population. About one-third of districts in the country have high HIV prevalence.
To contain the infection, NACP-III consolidates efforts in prevention, care, support and treatment of HIV/AIDS. Under the plan all HIV/AIDS linked services are integrated and scaled up to sub-district and community level. However, the services available in any area are based on the prevalence there. This is made necessary as HIV/AIDS in India presents heterogeneous epidemiology with high rate of prevalence, more than one percent in general population in some districts and low prevalence in others.
Core Services at District level
In packaging of services, care is taken for the special needs of the region and availability of complementary healthcare system. In high prevalence districts, the full spectrum of preventive, supportive and curative services are available in medical colleges or district hospitals. These hospitals provide HIV/AIDS prevention services including treatment and cure for sexually transmitted infections, psycho-social counselling and support for people infected or affected by HIV, management of opportunistic infections and anti-retroviral therapy for people living with HIV/AIDS, counselling and testing facility for prevention of parent to child transmission of HIV infection, specialised paediatric HIV care and treatment as well as referral for specialist needs such as surgery, ENT and ophthalmology etc.
CHCs give Basic Services
Community Health Centres and Primary Health Centres are integrated in the programme and facilitate prevention through promotion of condoms, counselling and testing for HIV (ICT Centres), prevention of parent to child transmission (PPTCT), treatment and cure for sexually transmitted diseases and management of opportunistic infections.
CBOs for better Service Outreach
Hospitals providing HIV services are linked to NGOs/CBOs which play a significant role in providing peer support services and home-based care for people living with HIV/AIDS. CBOs also facilitate follow-up with children born to HIV positive women, support at the community level and outreach to services at the district level.

Discernment and Legitimisation
Re: Discernment and Legitimisation
I resonate with so much of this it is hard to know were to start.
Quote from: Danica Swanson on June 02, 2019, 10:22:21 PM
I'll try! Following the Ways of Non-Contrivance means cultivating space for "emergent" (uncontrived) contemplative practice. Broadly speaking, the intention behind it is to shape the monastic structures for Black Stone Abbey through guidance arrived at by "bottom up" spontaneous animist intuitions rather than imposing structures through "top down" centralized planning. Following the Ways of Non-Contrivance means creating conditions that invite a certain quality of attentive engagement with the world - an ease that flows from silence, solitude, "doing nothing," and deep listening. There's no way to codify the Ways of Non-Contrivance because they're different for each monastic, and as I understand it, that's entirely by design.
Love this. I think it is good to remember that all the forms of monasticism that we see as 'established' for legit started off very much like we are- bottom up. Be that Buddhist, Christian, or otherwise. In many early forms there was a lot of overlap between "laity" and monks and the hieriarchies were pretty fluid. Folks experimented and over time found what worked, and did so in communities. The successful forms found rule sets and structures that fit their practice and the life they wanted to formulate. It is important to note that the practice comes before the 'rule' for even the vow in most cases. The practice works, then you communicate it and consolidate it into a more formal structure you can communicate and have to keep you on track. Then adjust when needed- communities help with that and broaden the 'experiment'. It has been said that monasticism is also empirical- in that it develops from practical experience. I think monasticism needs a community- hermits are often, historically, still tied in some way to a larger community in their practices.
There is a Buddhist book called " Living by Vow" and I think it is a great text on vows and monastic life. As mentioned above a vow can be to the attention and right exercise of something, like sex or eating. The Vow is a way for us to live by our intentions and goals and not by the current of the rest of society or our own (often unexamined) habits. I see in this discussion (here and otherwise) a lot of carryover from forms of western Christian monastic and moral philosophy/spirituality that I think and polytheists we have to unpack a bit. I think that is why I tend to look to Buddhists, Mystic monastics (like Eastern Christians), and New Monasticism (like the groups WeepingCrow alluded to) models as they are far less moralistic ,built around contemporary experience, less "top down" and have a lot more gradients built in for practice esp in the moral sense.
For some interesting history "A desert a city" is a good text on early monastic formations.
I also think about discernment a lot. It is hard sometimes to know how to interpret and make sure 'marching orders' are divine, understood well, or workable. I think a community can help us in that process or give us better ways to follow our callings, and paths. I think sometimes the 'structures' we find in communities of devotees gives us support to follow our paths in healthy ways.
I really like the Rule of Awen and as I alluded to before I think it reflects a heart you see in a lot of early monastic formation in many traditions. I think and "structure" and practices we form should support ones divine struggle with that rule.
Early Chrsitianity (and others like Buddhism) like Danica Mentions- generally took its clergy from monastics and even when they had non-monastic clergy their expectations were built off the monastic models. In many forms even the forms for life of the laity is built off of monastic forms as well (you see that in Eastern churches and old Catholics) . Even Monks who did not serve as clergy had a role in the community as part of its evolving life. In some sense everyone's Awen , even as a solitary, has its influence and connection to others.

Swickard: Promise to spend wisely next time
The flags flying at half-staff presidency
White House "budget forecasters"
Posted by News New Mexico on Sunday, July 17, 2016
© 2016 Michael Swickard, Ph.D. There is currently deep despair in New Mexico because budget cuts cannot be avoided and the political football can’t be punted to next year. Things have to change now. Example: New Mexico State University has to cut twelve million dollars from their budget.
The total budget for NMSU is around $620 million so $12 million is 1.9 percent. In an institution as large as NMSU, with all of their fund-raising programs and hold-back funds, it is a small sum. But it’s a cut and that’s the problem.
In our current political climate many people think that every government program must be continued or something is seriously wrong. It is inconceivable in the media that budgets can be chopped, in fact, programs can be eliminated in hard times.
Over the last two decades the state of New Mexico has gone from a very rosy financial status to the budget crisis of today. Who knew the oil and gas business was going to tank?
The issue is: in the recent years when times were good, what did the people who guide our state do? They spent everything they could. Did they save anything for hard times? Not recent leaders.
Former Governor Gary Johnson was a fiscal conservative. He constantly vetoed spending bills when he thought they were not wise. It was seven hundred times in eight years ending in 2002. Not all of his vetoes were spending, but many were and the money piled up.
In January 2003 Bill Richardson took office. There were hundreds of millions of dollars in rainy day funds that he spent immediately on political issues. The eight years of savings were gone in days. Bill Richardson was running for President of the United States. So he spent and spent and spent.
The last budget of Gary Johnson in 2002 was $3.9 Billion. That number went all the way to $6.8 Billion in Bill Richardson’s quest for the presidency. He was named the nation’s Education Governor for his spending on education, which had no effect on the outcomes for New Mexico students but looked good in the headlines.
Fast forward to today since there are serious budget problems at $6.2 Billion. The problem is that there has been a large downturn in the oil and gas revenues. The budget is no longer viable and must be amended.
When talking about reducing spending some people act like there has always been over six billion dollars in the budget. But New Mexico’s budget was under $4 Billion just a few years ago.
The last time there was an oil and gas bust was 1981. At that time, I remember seeing bumper stickers that proclaimed, “Please God, give me one more oil boom… this time I promise not to piss it away.” Do we have anyone saying that prayer today?
New Mexico was one of only five states who were not having budget problems in the late 1990s. Then in 2003 the spenders got their hands on our state. Some politicians want taxes to now rise as compensation for falling oil and gas revenues.
That would be wrong because it gives the impression that government budgets cannot be seriously cut. Not one percent or two percent. Rather, ten percent. New Mexicans will be fine.
The media will find those people who lose out. But for the two million citizens in New Mexico being fiscally responsible is essential for our future and the future of our children. NMSU is gravely wringing their hands over less than two percent. Seriously.
Here’s a solution: NMSU and the University of New Mexico have many similar programs. Retrench to one or the other a couple of the programs currently at both universities. Know this: you should not touch the core of NMSU’s Land-Grant mission or the core of the University of New Mexico’s metropolitan university.
It is time to bring sense back into the spending of the people’s money by government entities. No more spending so that people can be elected with promises. The oil and gas will come back; will we be careful with the money next time?
Only if the voters elect those who are responsible and prepare for the next coming hard times.

© 2016 Jim Spence You write a Sunday column and think you are done. Nope....more cops killed, this time in Baton Rouge.
Some observers see these acts of violence against law enforcement officers as simply signs of cultural pressures as a result of social-economic forces in the black community. They aren’t. When five Dallas police officers were murdered in cold blood by Black Lives Matter types I wrote a column that traced all of this violence to words high profile Democrats use to inflame the racial paranoia in the black community. Democrats realize that they run a risk inflaming racial paranoia. But they take those risks because they don't get hurt, police officers do. They know that not every black American who listens to them ascribe the most evil of all motives to Republicans, understands that race-baiting Democrats are the worst sorts of liars. Unfortunately for the police, some blacks believe the Democrat's lies, and they react accordingly. What inflammatory lies you ask? Remember what Joe Biden said in 2012 about Mitt Romney and the GOP. “They are going to put ya’ll back in chains!” You find it hard to believe Biden said this? See him say it by clicking right here.
Now I don’t know about you. But if I really believed that the GOP wanted to put me "back in chains," I think I might resort to violence. Is violence justified? Of course not. But the words of these jerks matter. It is understandable how Democrats incite violence when seemingly credible people, like the Vice President of the United States, suggest that America could return to slavery if Democrats don’t win elections. Mr. Obama has said as much too, and so have both of the Clintons. Remember Obama's anti-cop outburst after a Cambridge police officer got into a rift with a black college professor? Democrats are fomenting violence.
Think about what Hillary Clinton said just last week after the Dallas police killings.
She told CNN this: “I will call for white people, like myself, to put ourselves in the shoes of those African-American families who fear every time their children go somewhere, who have to have the talk about, you now, how to really protect themselves [inferring protect themselves from police], when they’re the ones who should be expecting protection from encounters with police.”
Later in the same interview she said this: “I’m going to be talking to white people, we’re the ones who have to start listening to the legitimate cries coming from our African-American fellow citizens.”
All of this paranoia stoking from the Democrat running for president. It comes within the context of blacks ambushing and killing police officers. I repeat, Democrats seeking election victories may lament these shootings, but they are truly inciting violence by blame shifting and encouraging paranoia.
As I head off to work tomorrow, no doubt I will see what I seem to see more often that any other time in my entire life. Flags will once again be flying at half-staff. All of these atrocities against law enforcement officers and Democrats keep kissing the backsides of terrorists (Black Lives Matter). In doing so they are pouring gas on the racial fires in our country like arsonists. All they know how to do is divide people. And what they have been doing is working. There are thousands if not millions of blacks in America who actually believe that they are going to be put back in chains.
Mr. Obama has created a legacy. He is now the flag flying at half-staff president.
© 2016 Jim Spence Now here is a job with zero downside. Why not work in the White House budget office? It does not matter how wrong you have been, or will be in the future. You can keep your job and make ridiculous forecasts every year.
The annual ritual known as the White House “Mid-Session Review,” was conducted recently in Washington and the results were released Friday.
Once again the Obama budget people reduced both their economic and their fiscal projections substantially. These of course are the projections they made earlier this year in what has to be considered a laughable February budget presentation made to Congress.
It seems that economic growth in the U.S. won’t be as high as these Democrats said it would be. Back in February, it was all rosy scenarios. The Obama bureaucrats took the liberty to pretty much “assume” any economic number they wanted. Outrageously they chose 2.6% for GDP growth in 2016. Now the time has come for them to admit GDP growth will be 1.9%. What difference does it make? The White House now says tax receipts so far this year will be a whopping $59 billion below the February forecast.
Of course the U.S. media outlets (except for Fox) are propaganda production centers for the Democratic National Committee. Accordingly none of them ever questioned the absurd White House estimates even though these estimates allowed the White House to also "forecast" higher tax revenues and a lower budget deficit. Stalin's hacks did the same thing in the U.S.S.R. and Mao did so in China too.
Ooops! Now the federal government has as quietly as possible (this news was drowned out by the latest mass murders by Radical Muslims) started telling the few of us who pay attention that the budget deficit will be $600 billion this year. Didn't Obama once say budget deficits were immoral? Oh well.
It would have been even worse if the federal government wasn’t screwing every saver in the country by engineering Depression Era levels of interest rates. Sadly, screwing the few savers we have left with extraordinarily lower rates enables the federal government to borrow on the cheap. Of course anyone trying to make a decent rate of interest on their bank deposits is left out in the cold.
Amazingly, with this asinine review, the White House Budget Office still had the unmitigated gall to forecast 2.5% in GDP growth for 2017. No doubt Democrats will continue with this rosy scenario charade if Hillary Clinton wins the presidency and then quietly revise it downward next July.
This is how things are done by Democrats when they hold power. It explains why Detroit filed for bankruptcy protection and why most other urban areas where Democrats have held power are teetering on the edge of bankruptcy.

Demon World War Chronicle Disgaea review
Makai Senki Disgaea, “Demon World War Chronicle Disgaea” • Arashi Shindo • Broccoli Books (2006) • Ichijinsha (Comic Zero-Sum, 2003) • 1 volume • Video Game, Action, Comedy • 13+ (cartoon violence)
Based on the tactical RPG Disgaea: Hour of Darkness, the Disgaea manga faithfully follows the game world and characters. Prince Laharl is rudely awakened from his two-year slumber by his vassal Etna and notified that the king of the Netherworld is dead. Prince Laharl boasts of his new kingship and sets off to rule the Netherworld, but no one will listen to him, due to the attitudes of the demons he’s supposed to be ruling. Various demons challenge the prince and are comedically thwarted. The story is simple and the gags tend to recycle, but all in all, it’s a cute comedy, laced with smarmy characters. The cover, by Takehito Harada, does not reflect the interior art.
Makai Senki Disgaea 2, “Demon World War Record Disgaea 2” • Hekaton • Broccoli Books (2007) • MediaWorks (Dengeki Maoh, 2006–ongoing) • 1+ volumes (ongoing) • Fantasy, Adventure • 13+
The manga companion to the RPG video game of the same title. Now that everybody in the world has been turned into a demon, it’s up to Adell, the last remaining human being, to challenge Overlord Zenon and put things back the way they were. Too bad he conjures up Zenon’s daughter Rozalin instead. The first volume also includes some original chapters explaining what happened between the original Disgaea and the sequel.

Radulov has goal and assist, Stars beat Islanders 3-1
(AP Photo/Brandon Wade)
DALLAS (AP) Alexander Radulov let his play speak for itself in his return to the lineup after being benched in Dallas' previous game.
Radulov had a goal and an assist on a revitalized power play, and the Stars beat the New York Islanders 3-1 on Saturday night.
A healthy scratch in Dallas' win over Winnipeg on Thursday night, Radulov chose not to talk to the media after this game. His coach and teammates had plenty to say about him.
"It was a huge relief for him," Dallas coach Jim Montgomery said, "and everybody was happy for him. He does a lot of things that lead to team wins."
Andrew Cogliano and Denis Gurianov also scored for the Stars, and Ben Bishop stopped 34 shots.
"(Radulov) is an elite player," Bishop said. "I wasn't too worried about him coming back. He probably needed a rest anyway."
Mathew Barzal scored for the Islanders, and Thomas Greiss finished with 34 saves.
"They're big, they can skate and they have good goaltending," New York coach Barry Trotz said of the Stars. "They're going to be a threat for sure. They're a good hockey team. I liked our effort and I liked a lot of the things we did."
Radulov scored on a power play to give Dallas a 2-0 lead with just under four minutes left in the first period with assists from John Klingberg and Mattias Janmark.
"Whenever you can get him the puck," Janmark said, "good things can happen."
Gurianov redirected Radulov's pass to the front of the net past Greiss on another power play 3:12 into the second period.
New York had only two penalties in the game, both to Barzal.
The Stars have scored four goals in seven power-play opportunities in their last two games. They had two power-play goals only twice in their first 28 games but now have improved their season percentage from 15 to 18 percent.
"Players are moving the puck and have an attack mindset," Montgomery said of his team's improved power play. "You want to put their players on their heels."
Barzal scored the Islanders' goal with 4:33 to play, redirecting Devon Toews' shot from the blue line past Bishop.
"We preach the same things," Toews said. "We like to keep teams to the outside and let our goalie see the puck. Tonight, their goalie saw too many of our shots."
The win enabled Dallas to move one point ahead of idle Winnipeg to third place in the Central Division. The Islanders remained second in the Metropolitan Division.
"They've been the most consistent defensive team for the last year and a half," Montgomery said. "They're a good measuring mark for us."
New York had the first three shots on goal in the game, including two on the power play, but Dallas came right back with seven straight shots on goal and finished the period with a 16-11 advantage.
Cogliano gave Dallas a 1-0 lead at 11:59 of the first when he tipped in a shot by Jamie Oleksiak from the left faceoff circle.
"I got off to sort of a tough start offensively," Cogliano said after his first goal this season." I have other jobs to focus on in my (checking) line."
NOTES: Griess extended the Islanders' record streak of alternating starts by their goalies to 28 games. ... Cogliano's goal was his first in 32 games, dating back to March 30 at Vancouver. ... The Islanders have allowed more than one power-play goal only three times this season. ... The Stars' penalty killers have been successful on all seven opponents' power plays over the last three games. … The Islanders are 3-4-0 since their 17-game points streak (15-0-2) ended.
Islanders: At Tampa Bay on Monday night in the second of a three-game trip.
Stars: Host New Jersey on Tuesday night in the third of four straight home games.

I wonder if the date might change at any time. Might have to keep an eye on it, just to see. I still haven't been able to find out when it'll be shown on Oz TV anyway.
I'm hoping it will, to EARLIER than December, lol! ^^
It still says November on Amazon UK. I wonder if they have some kind of exclusive "earlier release" thing going on, hmm!

So apparently the station known as Channel 9 over here has picked up Come Fly With Me. I guess it's good to know that someone has, it's just a shame that the ABC couldn't have picked it up instead though because now it's going to be butchered with ads >_<

We never had the problem with adverts when it was shown here on BBC1 ^^

You're lucky ABC is sort of like our version of the BBC in a way (they usually get all the BBC shows anyway), and they're the only station that doesn't put ads on in between shows. All the others do.

Marcus Rashford Responds To Comparisons With Cristiano Ronaldo
Rachel Hardy | Saturday, December 14, 2019
Action Images Carl Recine
LONDON, Dec 14 ― Marcus Rashford has always had the tools to become a world-class forward. In training, he might not touch the ball a lot but he is a finisher and a killer in the box.
During pre-season, the 26-year-old posted a crude video to Snapchat while on holiday with friends and was disciplined by manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
Earlier this week, it was reported that Ed Woodward, the Executive Vice-Chairman of Manchester United believes that Pogba is "vital" to anything that they want to achieve as a club, as a result of which he will not be willing to sell him to Real Madrid easily.
"That's hard... but I would say Paul Scholes and David Beckham". Right-foot, left-foot, he is a nightmare for defenders.
"He played against Tottenham and he was class", said Solskjaer.
"He said he just wanted the old Jesse back and maybe I can give him that now".
The elegant Rashford says he is tougher on himself than any critic and has talked about minor adjustments he has made to his game.
"I think that he's also trying to be realistic and he knows that at the moment Liverpool have just renewed with [Jurgen] Klopp, Manchester City have [Pep] Guardiola, and which big jobs are available?"
"That's how it is, I won't play forever".
"I feel like this season I'm doing little stuff that shows that it's becoming a bit more natural and easier", he added. I was like, 'I am done at United now. "He wanted more from me". They hold a great amount of power over Maddison and would demand a huge fee for one of their most prized assets, but United should have enough funds to cover it and if Ed Woodward is really serious about getting the red devils back to the top he should spare no expenses for James Maddison. He struggled to pin down a permanent starting place and his goals return has often been sub-par. "He is ready to play in Premier League".
But now, established under Solskjaer, Rashford speaks positively about how the boss, a former striker at United, has infused the side with attacking intent.
"The way we train and prepare for games, it's about us and what we can do to hurt them, not how we're going to stop them", he said. Before the game my dad texted me the comments and said I should make sure I had a good game.

Lagos Auto Dealers Bemoan Clampdown By Customs
Posted: 16 December, 2019 00:51:43schedule
Auto dealers in Lagos whose businesses were affected by the recent crackdown by the Nigerian Customs Service (NCS) have threatened to take legitimate steps towards drawing the attention of the Federal Government to their plight.
Speaking at a joint action committee meeting of Concerned Car Dealers, the victims decried the heavy toll that the service’s shut down of car marts, showrooms and outlets to carry out investigative audit in respect of import duty payments is taking on the auto market.
The National Interim Coordinator of the group, Amobi Muoghalu, who addressed the press at the meeting recently said, car dealers have been suffering following the closure of their shops by the customs without due cause.
Muoghala further stated that: “We may choose to go the route of civil disobedience, knowing very well that there is a limit to how many of us that the customs can victimize, intimidate or maim. We may employ the time-tested method of dialogue with higher bodies and authorities like the supervising Ministry, National Assembly and other eminent personalities”
He added that the members have been subjected to economic hardship. “We have not talked about economic hardship these people are going through especially when you consider the economic state of the country”
Also speaking the interim Secretary of the group, Mr. Ben Chijioke further alleged incessant attacks on their businesses by the NCS. “It is not the first time our shops have been locked but it is time to say No to this harassment. We are tired of feeding those who do not care for us. These cars came out of the ports and were cleared by the agency. If there was fraud, they, they should ask their officers and not close our shops. We are always at the losing end at all times”
Barrister Joe Eboigbe who was present at the meeting told newsmen that taking legal action against the customs is still within the law.
“I advise the Customs to solve the problems because they have already committed an error and suing them should be the last option”, he said.

Around the Exe
Had such a great couple of days around the River Exe, Wednesday saw me around Exminster Marshes.
Parked up in the RSPB car park and did a circular walk via Turf. The weather was like summer, nice and warm out of the wind, plenty of insects in these areas, Dragons and Butterflies, some of which were starting to look a little worn.
Small Tit flock on the back path, about 15 birds but Long-tailed, Great and Blue Tits, Wren, Dunnock, Blackbird and Robin also seen on this path. The fields looked a bit empty, they have topped the grass, presumably to get ready for winter and the ducks?
At Turf it was abit quiet except for a Common Sandpiper and a Whimbrel which flew down in front of me while I was enjoying a cuppa out of my flask. Could hear Curlew in the distance also Herring, Black-headed and Great-black Backed Gulls, Mute Swans, Carrion crow and Little Egret all present.
Walking back to the car saw Magpie, Woodpigeon, Starling, Linnet, Reed Bunting, Pheasant, Carrion Crow, Jackdaw, Goldfinch, Chaffinch, a vocal Cettis Warbler and fly over Grey Heron and Cormorant.
On my way home I stopped at the River Kenn outflow, the tide was far enough out not to worry them, 200+ Gulls, mixture of Herring, Great-black Backed and Black-headed Gulls of all ages for all the gulls. 25 Mute Swans, oystercatchers, Redshank, Black-tailed Godwits, Cormorants, Carrion Crows and 50+ Mallard.
A few ducks in the River, Teal, Mallard and Mute Swan with Goldfinch, Starling, Robin and Blackbird in the bushes. In the lake that is in front of the castle you could see Canada Geese and several Ducks, also what looked like Redshank flew in and landed by the geese.
Today up early and caught the high tide at the Warren, what a beautiful morning, cold and a bit misty further up the river.
I got to the hide a hour before high tide, loads of gulls, the island looked white! Took a while to go through them all, plenty of Juveniles and some looked different but Iam not confident to say they were Little or Med Gulls, there was another birder who thought they were. I did see a couple of Med Gulls flying around and possibly a Little Gull but they wouldn't settle to get a pic.
Loads of Sandwich Terns, at one point I had 55 Birds on the island with more flying around, 5 Common Tern of various ages also. A couple of Bar-tailed Godwits, Oystercatchers, Lesser and Greater-Black Backed Gulls, Herring Gulls.
30+ Brent Geese was a obvious sign that winter is coming as well as Widgeon, Little Egret, Cormorant, Canada Geese, Mute Swan, Dunlin, Carrion Crow, Linnet, Robin and Pied Wagtail seen around the Hide, Bite and Finger Point.
After hearing a Short Eared Owl had come in off the sea I went out on the point, not only saw it but Sparrowhawk and Kestrel hunting, plenty of Linnet and 2 Wheatear also seen.
Around the rest of the reserve I saw Moorhen, Meadow Pipit, Linnet, Robin, Stonechat, Blackbird, Pheasant and Woodpigeon.
Good to see everybody out, lots of happy humans which is what I like!
Had a good few days out with the camera, although the weather caused a few issues and "life" has got in the way a few times, especially when trying to write this up.
This blog entry is for the period Wednesday 19th to Monday 24th.
Wednesday saw me at Stover; it's a place that I've not been in a while. It's a place that frustrates me in many ways; it's lost its beauty in some way. I remember when the lake used to be full of Lilly's and full of ducks. Not sure of the reasons? Mismanagement? It's always had lots of people about, kids and dogs; there is nothing new in that.
On the water today were a couple of Tufted, Mallard, Mute Swan, Coot, Moorhen, Cormorant, Black-headed and Herring Gulls. A few Swallow and House Martins hawking over the lake, around the bushes there was Woodpigeon, Robin, Chaffinch, Dunnock, Blackbird and Wren. Around the feeding station there was Great and Blue Tits, Willow/Marsh Tit? Coal Tit and Nuthatch.
On the floor here were a couple of Squirrels and a couple of huge Rats living off the dropped food, said it all really!
Went to go up on Dartmoor for the afternoon but the bad weather came in so abandoned that idea.
On Thursday the weather wasn't the best so went shopping into Exeter, had the best seat in the house watching a Peregrine take out a pigeon by the Cathedral and nobody else saw it, all too busy and with their heads down, sad.
Friday was an early start to go to Somerset and get to Cheddar Reservoir as there had been a Black Tern present for the last couple of days, this is a great place to take pics as birds often come close to the edge and you get some great shots. The weather was changeable and I knew the wind was going to be picking up later. I got the Reservoir and parked up and typically the heavens opened so stayed in the car for 15 odd minutes and then sun.
I got to the walkway and you could see the Tern with the other birds on the spit, it would get up and fly around and feed over some weed, I got some great views but the weather would change from rain, dark cloud and sun but got some pics in the end.
I wanted to go to Catcott lows to see the new set up, they have put in some new scrapes in front of the hide, a little bit like Bowling Green Marsh in Topsham. First stop though was a favourite place Tedham Moor. The roadside ditches were full of water and birds, Mallard, Mute Swan and Grey Herons with Swallows hawking over the water. Over the fields Meadow Pipits, Skylark, Buzzard, Carrion Crows and Canada Geese.
Off to Catcott, the new scrape looked good and will look forward to paying a visit when the ducks have arrived, still plenty to see with Buzzard, Marsh Harrier and a Hobby flying in front of the hide, Winchats, Wheatears, Snipe, Stockdoves, Swallows, Dunnock, Meadow Pipits, Cormorant, Grey Heron, Carrion crows and 3 Roe Deer all seen from the hide.
On the way home I stopped off at Greylake and nothing much to see, it was all blown out with the increasing wind so it was off home for tea and cake!
Sunday was the next time out and as the tide was out on the Exe I went up to the Kenn Out flow, it was still windy and not much flying. Oystercatchers and Redshank on the tide line with Mute Swans, Little Egrets, Cormorants, Black-headed, Great-black Backed and Herring Gulls of all ages also seen. Very little on the Kenn with a couple of Tufted Ducks and Mallard but no great numbers. Mute Swans and Canada Gees on the lake, Swallows hawking over the river as well as Wheatear, Carrion Crow, Magpie and Pheasants seen around the park. In Cockwood harbour there was Oystercatchers, Redshanks and Black-headed Gulls. At Cockwood steps the tide was almost out to the wreck but no birds due to fishermen at the water's edge, they had moved up river.
Ended up at the Warren and had a few hours to walk around until high tide, found a couple of Spotted Flycatchers at the entrance bushes flying out catching insects, other birds around the reserve were Great and Blue Tits, Chaffinch, Goldfinch, Robin, Blackbird, Pied Wagtail, Kestrel, Linnet, Grey Heron, Little Egret, Starling and House Sparrows.
Plenty of insects about in the sheltered areas, Dragons, Butterflies, Hoverflies, Bees and tonnes of Wasps, while sat down having a cuppa talking to Steve one of the wardens a Clouded Yellow appeared which makes 50 species of Butterflies seen this year, want to try and beat that next year.
Again as the day went on the wind seem to pick up and from the hide this was evident by the number of Kite and Wind Surfers out on the Exe, these to my surprise didn't seem to effect the birds or other human disruption, what did cause a few problems where the 5 Carrion Crows which didn't give the waders any rest. Had a good range of Waders with Bar and Black-tailed Godwits, Redshank, Knott, Grey Plover, Lapwing, Turnstone, Sanderling, Ringed Plover, Dunlin, Sandwich Terns, Canada Geese, Wheatears, Pied Wagtail, Linnet, Swallows, Black-headed, Herring and Great-black Backed Gulls.
Monday saw me down at Froward Cove close to Coleton Fishacre looking for the reported Rosefinch which I sadly missed but saw plenty of other birds with lots of Meadow pipits, Wheatears and Swallows around the point, obviously feeding up before the journey. Lots of Cirl Buntings, Yellowhammer, Robin, Dunnock, Blackbird, Carrion Crow, Magpie, Buzzard, Kestrel, Goldfinch, Chaffinch, Wren, Stonechat and Pheasant.
In sheltered places again lots of insects and saw 9 species of Butterfly including a Painted Lady and another Clouded Yellow.
Have to say met lots of nice humans all over the place, all helpful, sociable and happy, smiley people. No miserable ones found hahahahha
Had a great day out around the River Exe, stopped off several places and ended up at Topsham.
Saw lots of birds and found some difficult to Id. Mainly down to moulting and whether they where Juvs. Was that wader a Spotted Redshank?-No it was a very light Redshank, was that Wader a Juv Curlew Sandpiper?-No its a Dunlin and when it stuck its head out of its wing I could see, Is that a Ruff?-No!
Did find a Ruff later Iam pleased to say and many other birds too, loads of Greenshanks at Goosemoor, 45+ and moor at BGM and another 10 from the platform. Loads of Redshank, Black and Bar-tailed Godwits, Dunlin, Curlew, Oystercatchers, little Egrets, Grey Heron, Little Grebes, Moorhens and Coots of all ages, plenty of Ducks, some still in moult such as Shoveler, Mallard, Teal, Gadwall, Pintail, Widgeon and Tufted Ducks.
The Usual large numbers of Canada Geese, Mute Swans, plenty of Corvides with Rook, Carrion Crow and Jackdaws seen, Magpie, Jay all seen.
A few Buzzard seen on my travels and a hunting Kestrel at Exminster Marshes.
Loads of Wood Pigeon seen 100+ crossed the Clyst while I was at the Platform, also Collard and Stock Doves seen.
Smaller Birds, Robin, Dunnock, Blackbird, Long-tailed, Blue and Great Tits.
Even though the wind was picking up and the odd spot of rain there was still a few Butterflies about with Spotted Wood, White sp and a Red Admiral, couple of Dragons mostly Hawkers, especially around the platform area.
Met lots of nice humans and good to talk through what was what in the bird world.
Went up on Dartmoor today, the weather wasn't the best so went looking for some clear area not covered in mist.
I ended up in the North West area around Meldon and the reservoir.
For some reason I've never been here before and not sure why, I have passed on several times but never stopped.
The wind was picking up and the bushes were blown out certainly an area that deserves a good look at, I walked on the Northern part above the dam and plenty of bushes full of berries, could be a good spot for winter Thrushes.
I went over the Viaduct which is part of the cycle way. Stunning views both up and down the valley.
Did also find a Tor amongst the woods, all grown over with trees but clearly a Tor just not been able to name it yet, also visited Brent Tor which is the most westerly Tor on Dartmoor and in the mist looked quite eerie.
Not that much wildlife about, plenty of Corvides both on the fields and in the air with Carrion Crow, Jackdaw and Raven, Magpies, woodpigeons, small flocks of Chaffinch and Goldfinch around hedges and roads. While I was walking around Meldon Reservoir there was quite a big Tit flock of Great, Blue and Long-tailed Tits.
Not that many humans about, I suppose the kids are back to school and its a wet, foggy Monday!
Went to the Warren to catch the high tide, it looked very quiet from a distance but when I arrived at the hide there was Whimbrel, Black and Bar-tailed Godwits, Oystercatchers, Black-headed Gulls, Sandwich Terns and some very annoying Crows!
Around the Bite and Finger Point where Ringed Plover, Dunlin, Sanderling, Cormorants, Herring and Great-black Backed Gulls. Out on the water only Mute Swans seen, around the hide a couple of Wheatear, Swallows, Linnets and several White Wagtails.
Went out onto the point as there had been a Wryneck spotted but I couldn't find it, in fact the only bird I saw was a hunting Kestrel.
Didn't really spend much time around the rest of the reserve and only saw a Robin, Blackbird and some flyover Woodpigeon.
Bit of a tour
Thought I would make the most of the good weather and get out. Also thought I would visit a couple of Reserves I hadn't been to in a while.
First stop was Labrador Bay and look for some Cirl Buntings, wasn't disappointed! 30+ easy, all very mobile and also crossing the road to the fields and back again. Lots of Juveniles/1st winters, they must have had a good breading season. Also lots of Chaffinch, Chiffchaff, Robin, Great Tit, Woodpigeon and Carrion Crow.
Plenty of insects, Butterflies, Dragons and especially Wasps which were everywhere.
Then off to Yarner, I knew that all the summer birds had gone so was going to see if anything had moved in, it was very quiet, the guys from Natural England were busy sorting out the feeders for in front of the hides so nothing there, still saw Buzzard, Raven and Woodpigeon over head, heard Green Woodpecker and saw Blue Tit, Blackbird, Robin and Wren. Best of all was at the Lagoon which had opened this year, its a old reservoir which now has a hide in the corner looking out over the water.
Good views of 8 Mandarin Ducks,1 Mallard, Grey Wagtail, Swallows hawking over the water and best of all 2 Kingfishers, one was calling a lot and following the other about the edge of the water. Not sure what it was fishing for as it kept tipping the water like it was after some insects? Shame it was so far away, talking to the Warden and he said they were going to get some Rafts for the ducks and do some work on the edges to cut back some trees.
Had some time over so went up on the Moor and knocked off a couple more Tors, "Wind Tor" and "Hound Tor" which is one of two such named Tors, its also called "Great Hound Tor", it also has a great little mobile café in the carpark which I regularly frequent when Iam up on the Moor.
Spent today on Dartmoor out walking in some stunning scenery. Stayed away from Widdicombe area because of the fair and how busy it will be.
Went looking for wildlife and Tors and its been really interesting. Went to a new area for me, between Moretonhampstead and Drewsteignton, just north east of Butterdon Down. "Willingstone Rock" and "Pin Tor".
"Willingstone Rock" which is also called "Willistone on H" consists of one, tall granite stack of large blocks. This is on private land but easily seen from the road and its a big piece of rock!
Pin Tor is interesting because its not named on the map,( Iam using a OS Explorer Map OL28 ) Luckily the local farmer came along and was very helpful, is in an area of accessible land but they have had to padlock the gates to stop vehicles from going in. So once I climbed the gate and worked my way through the undergrowth I found the Tor, its very over grown but the top is viewable.
Then off to one of my favourite walks, along the "Hunters Path" above the River Teign close to Castle Drogo. Normally I would park up close to the Castle and walk to Fingle Bridge, have a cuppa and walk back to the car via the "Fisherman's Path" by the River Teign but was running out of time so just visited the two Tors on this path.
The "Hunters Tor" also called "Hunts Tor". There are 2 "Hunters Tors" on Dartmoor the other is close to the River Bovey and the other Tor is one of the 7 "Sharp Tors", you get some great views from here, not only over the valley but across the north of Dartmoor.
On the wildlife front not that many birds. Buzzard, Magpie, Carrion Crow, Jackdaw, Woodpigeon, Blackbird and Dunnock seen, actually saw more Grey Squirrels harvesting Acorns and other fruit getting ready for winter, plenty of fruit about, Apples, Berries especially Rowen, Blackberries and other berries al waiting for the Winter Thrushes to appear.
Big thank you to a few Dartmoor locals who helped me find the first two Tors. That's another 4 Tors completed, 357 left!
Had a great day out in stunning countryside, so lucky to live here!
Good days Birding!
Started the day at Dawlish Warren, got to the hide for 8am for the high tide which was 4.1 and the sun was out.
From a distance there didn't look like too many birds and with the groundsman cutting the grass on the golf course I thought it was going to be a duff morning.
But when I got to the hide and looked out I could see a good mix of birds, not high in numbers but several species, singles of Knot, Bar-tailed Godwit, Curlew and Whimbrel, 3 Grey Plover, 2 of which were in summer plumage, single of Sandwich Tern, dozen of Oystercatcher, Black-headed Gulls, Herring Gulls, Little Egret and couple of annoying Carrion Crows that kept harassing the other birds.
Had several flocks of Dunlin and Ringed Plover fly around the island and hide but didn't settle close.
A 100+ mixed flock of Dunlin and Ringed Plover where in the bite and I presume it was these birds.
Also had fly overs of Mute Swans, Redshank, Cormorant and several Curlews. Plenty of Oystercatchers, Cormorants and Great-black Backed Gulls on finger point.
Several Wagtails in front of the hide and counted 4 White ones.
Behind the hide on the golf course 6 Canada Geese stood stubbornly on the fairway while the mowers were in action.
On the beech there was a small mixed flock of Dunlin and Ringed Plover and a few Swallows were hawking over the sand dunes, strangely nothing out to sea?
Around the rest of the reserve I saw Blackbird, Robin, Greenfinch, Goldfinch, House Sparrow, Starling, Linnet, Great, Blue and Long-tailed Tit, Magpie, Carrion Crow, Moorhen, Jackdaw and a Pheasant.
Off up the river and a stop at Cockwood Steps, not much to see with Cormorants on the wreck, Mute Swans, Black-headed Gulls and Oystercatchers on the mud just down from the steps.
Up to the Kenn outflow and nothing to see as some man was fishing off the steps but on the River Kenn viewable from the road 100+Ducks on the river, Teal, Gadwall, Mallard and looked like a few Widgeon, also Grey Heron, Mute Swans, Little Egrets and a good number of Canada Geese viewable by the lake, 6 Greenshanks flew out of the park and out onto the River Exe.
Off to Exminster Marshes and did a circular walk from the car park, it was fairly quiet and tree felling on the path to Turf didn't help. did see plenty of Gulls flying quiet high, looked like they were feeding on something, also Chiffchaff, Great, Blue and Long-tailed Tits, Goldfinch, Dunnock, Robin, Blackbird, Starling, Grey Heron, Mute Swans and a fly over Buzzard.
Turf was very quiet, a fly over of 30+ Curlew was the only thing of note.
Decided to drive back to Dawlish via the country lanes, great scenery but nothing to see on the wildlife front.
Very enjoyable day out, good to see Steve and Alan at the Warren.
Dartmoor Tor Challenge
Not that I don't have enough challenges to do, I've set myself another one! After a bit of research on numbers and where they are, I have decided to set myself the challenge of visiting every Tor on Dartmoor. Its also a reason to get out walking even more, to get me fit again as long as my knee doesn't bite me back!
When I started to research this, I thought wrongly that everybody knew the number and the OS map would have every one on there, wrong on both counts!
Eventually after looking on the internet, the local library and talking to a very nice lady at the Dartmoor information centre at Postbridge, they had two books on sale with two different totals 152 and 365! the lady told me that locals had come forward to say the later book has still left Tors out?
On the OS map they have put a name to a group of rocks but in fact there are two Tors there, also some have got several names such as "Hucken Tor" is also called "Okel Tor" and some Tors have the same name, there are 7 "Sharp Tor".
Also some Tors are not called Tors but such names as "Branscombe loaf", "Buckland Beacon", "Button Hill" and "Cathanger Rock" but are all Tors by definition.
The "Oxford Dictionary of Earth Sciences" defines a Tor as a "mass of exposed bedrock standing abruptly above its surroundings, and typically but not exclusively developed on granite rocks".
So I will be walking around Dartmoor with my trusty new guide written by Ken Ringwood who is part of the Dartmoor Search and Rescue Team based in Plymouth and I expect he would know what he is talking about.
I managed 4 Tors today Top Tor, Pil Tor, Hallow Tor and Bovey Rock. That's 4 down 361 to go!!
Also walking around the Moor Iam hopeful to see some wildlife and not much about on Saturday when I was up there, Wheatear, Carrion Crow, Buzzard, Kestrel and Stonechat.
Spent yesterday (Friday )walking around the Exe, with the tide and weather just right was hoping to see a wide range of birds and wasn't disappointed. There was a report of 7 Avocets around Topsham on Thursday but none seen while I was there, beautiful birds and a sign that winter is defiantly on its way!
First stop was supposed to be at Cockwood steps but the lay-bye and with people on the top I drove by, Cockwood harbour was empty of Water and birds due to the on going work being done, plenty of noise and orange jackets walking around.
On to one of my favourite places to look over the Exe, the river Kenn outflow. You have to time it right here as no matter how hard you try, if the tide hasn't gone out far enough you scare the birds as you come over the Railway Lines and they fly off, today I timed it correctly and they stayed put. Plenty of Gulls washing in the fresh water with Herring, Great-black Backed and Black-headed Gulls of all ages, Mallards, some still in moult, Little Egrets, Curlew, Red and Greenshanks, Oystercatchers, Canada geese and the usual Carrion Crows. A look into the River Kenn and round Powderham from the road found plenty of Mallards, Gadwall, Mute Swan, Grey Herons, Little Egrets, Buzzard and fly over female Sparrowhawk being harassed by what looked like Goldfinches. Plenty of Swallows hawking over the Kenn with Shelduck and Canada Geese in the lake in front of the Castle.
Parked up in a busy Powderham car park, 50+ Canada Geese in the stubble field by the church and House Martins still around the Lodge where they have been nesting this year, thought they would have gone by now?
Walking up to Turf, plenty of mud with the tide right out, Black-headed Gulls spread over the mud with the odd Herring Gull and Carrion Crow. Great-black Backed Gulls flying around to add to the mix. Oystercatchers, Curlew, Black-tailed Godwits and Redshanks on the waters edge with Mute Swans and Cormorants on the water. On the field side Goldfinch, Linnet, Pied Wagtail, Woodpigeon and Starling. Also saw a couple of Raptors with a Hobby chasing a Young Peregrine out over the Exe.
Got to Turf and sat down with a mug of Coffee by the side of the Exe and enjoyed the view, this is they way to do bird watching!
From here we could see Greenshank, Redshank, Black-tailed Godwits, Oystercatchers, Little Egret, Curlew, Black-headed, Herring, Great-black Backed gulls with what looked like at least 1 Med Gull with a distant view of Shelduck. Also on the Exe there was both Mute and Black Swans who are obviously escaped from somewhere.
Also met up with Mike Langham who was leading a group of birders who all seemed to be enjoying themselves.
Back to the car for the trip to Topsham, Darts Farm was surprisingly busy, but found a place to park at the back. While it was busy with humans no birds flying about which is unusual with all the bushes, the cycle track was the same and just some Black-headed Gulls and a Black-tailed Godwit on the creek.
Goosemoor was quiet on the way through with just some Black-headed Gulls and a single Herring gull, but on the way back when the tide was coming in they was joined by Greenshank, Black-tailed Godwits and Lapwings.
Around the reserve and along the road there was Canada and Greylag Geese, Mute Swan, Pintail, Teal, Widgeon, Mallard, Magpie, Jackdaw, Carrion Crow, Greenshank, Redshank, Black and Bar-tailed Godwits, Lapwing, Coot, Moorhen, Robin, Wren, Blackbird, Goldfinch, Blue and Great Tit with fly over Buzzard and Sparrowhawk.
From the platform Redshank, Greenshank, Black-tailed Godwit, Ringed Plover, Dunlin, Little Egret, Carrion Crow, Black-headed and Herring Gull.
Around at the Goatwalk the tide was still quite a distance but could see Redshank, Black-tailed Godwit, Little Egret, Mute Swan, Cormorant, Black headed and Herring Gulls.
Had a good day and met some great people and saw some great birds, slightly spoiled by a couple of Birders at the Platform, rude and ignorant is the best way to describe them! A slight bump on a otherwise good day!
After hearing that two Ortolan Bunting had been seen on Portland on the ground and showing well I decided to go up, its a bird I've been trying to catch up with for years.
I left early Tuesday but not early enough as I met every Car, Bus and Tractor on the road adding another 30-45 minutes to my journey time. First stop was the Ops and Martin C told me they were still there and had been showing well, so after picking up directions off I went to Fancy's Farm which is at the North of the Island by the "High Angle Battery". The Farm is a small holding were members of the public can go in to feed the animals so by the time I got there was quite busy as well as walkers, dogs, runners and about 20+ birders. I could see everybody trained on to a bird with their bins, scopes and cameras and I managed 20 seconds with my bins, just saw the moustache and it was off, over the bushes and away. After looking for another couple of hours I called it a day and went off the Island. Did see lots of other birds, plenty of Swallows hawking getting ready for the trip south as were many of the other birds such as Redstarts, Wheatears, Whitethroats and Whinchat. Local Dunnock, Blackbird, Woodpigeon, Carrion Crows and Buzzard also on view.
At Ferry Bridge plenty of Swallows hawking with Ringed Plover, Redshank, Starling, Wheatears Little Egret, Black-headed and Herring Gulls.
Plenty of Ducks at Radipole Lake as you would expect with Mallard, Tufted, Teal and Gadwall. Mute Swans, Canada Geese, Little Egret, Grey Heron, Cormorant, Coot, Moorhen, Black-headed, Mediterranean, Herring and Great-black Backed Gulls. Buzzard, Kestrel, Long-tailed Tits, Robin, House Sparrows and Cettis Warblers still in tune.
Plenty of Dragonflies seen today with Darters and Hawkers in good numbers, so were Butterflies that were making the most of the Autumn sun.
Back to Dawlish with the aim to come back tomorrow but earlier.
Up and out by 5am today on route to Portland, good journey and was onsite by 6.45am to join 5 other birders who were already there, we spread out and by 8am one of the growing group had found it but had flown off which had been seen by others but frustratingly not me! Sadly not relocated but it could have been anywhere, there are places fenced off and it could have been sat there quite happily all day.
Saw plenty of other great birds such as Pied Flycatchers, Lesser and Common Whitethroats, loads of Wagtails and Swallows in the sky flying around.
So off I went back home but decided to pop into Blackhole Marsh which was quite busy, plenty of birds spread about the lagoon with Black-headed, Herring and Great-black Backed Gulls, Dunlin, Redshank, Common, Green and Wood Sandpiper, Little Egret, Grey Heron, Coot, Moorhen, Mallard, Teal and Lapwing seen on my visit.
Quick visit to Budliegh to see the Spotted Crake but after hearing from other birders in the hide that it hadn't been seen for the last 3+ hours I gave it a miss and off home for tea and cake!
While it ahs been a bit frustrating I have enjoyed this last couple of days, if it was easy it would be boring! Met lots of nice people, birders and non birders, while at Black Marsh met some local birders who helped me out when I was having some technical issues with my phone, cheers guys, I lack patience with IT!
Lyme Bay Boat Trip
Went out on the "Optimist" skippered by Nigel L and the trip organised by Nigel S. The weather was good and the sea was relatively calm.
We went out about 7.5 miles and "chummed" before heading home, the trip was about three and half hours and well worth it!
On the way out we saw 2 Grey Seals, 3 Harbour Porpoise and 150+ Common Dolphins of all ages all around the boat, Dolphins never seem to do things slowly and I got plenty of pictures of half a animal but I never get tiered of seeing them.
Bird wise was a mixed bag with Turnstone, Grey and Pied Wagtails around the Harbour, Black-headed, Herring, Lesser and Greater-black Backed Gulls, Yellow Legged Gull, Kittiwake and Fulmar. Also Gannet, Cormorant and Shag.
a single Storm Petrel put in a quick show as well as about 20 Manx Shearwaters, plenty of sightings but they were flying around so difficult not to count twice.
Two Bonxie around the boat and a Artic Skua at the far end of the slick, there was another Skua which caused some discussion, some said it was a Bonxie but to me it didn't fly like one so Skua sp. Also a possible 1/2 Sooty/Balearic Shearwater seen by others flying in distance.
Another good trip with a good bunch of people.

Ripple Project
Ripple Concept
Basic Editing
Protocol /
KnowledgeRouting
It seems like a good idea that every node have enough information to compute routes on its own. That means that a relatively accurate available credit for each direction of account should be broadcast soon after any balance or credit limit change. Available credit limit changes could be broken up into deceivingly-sized and -timed increments to make it difficult to reconstruct any transactions from them. There is no need for a block chain to validate this information just for routing purposes -- each address can sign its own balance change messages to authenticate them. Any peer can then generate one or more decent candidate routes for its transaction and make attempts to use them without launching on a big distributed fishing expedition for available credit.
This could be made quite scalable I think: Every peer doesn't need to know about the available credit on every account in the whole network. A peer could just listen to the broadcasts and pick out the accounts it considers useful to know about (nearby accounts and others it thinks it might use for payments) for caching and rebroadcast. If it needs to learn about an account it doesn't know, it can broadcast a request for it. If it also broadcasts the amount it wishes to send to that account, it might event receive back a custom-made path. The incentive for fulfilling such request could be just that you get to decide where someone else's transaction goes, which might be favourable to you.
For a more well-defined and scalable concept of the scope of available credit messages, see Building Cells By Block Chain.
Also, the payer chooses a candidate path for the transaction and sends it out when it initiates the transaction, but if that path does not have enough available credit for some reason, the intermediary at the blockage should be able to try another route, which may very well be more successful, since it is closer to the recipient, and likely have more up-to-date information on available credit in that region of the network. Of course, intermediaries could just choose different routes based on their preference, which I think is fine, as long as those routes ultimately meet the payer's approval.
It would probably be useful for the payer to be able to include some parameters, such as the minimum amount that must arrive at the target node.
Credit Network
Every server can build a representation of the credit network from two types of available credit messages:
credit_offer - max. net obligations that will be accepted from another node going forward
credit_accept - max. net obligations that will be emitted to another node going forward
Both types contain the following data:
source node
partner node
(Many of these from the same source could be packaged and signed together for efficiency.)
A credit_offer from node A (source) to node B (partner) and a credit_accept from node B (source) about node A (partner) are combined to create a credit connection that allows obligations to flow from node B to node A. The max. obligations that will flow is the smaller of the two message amounts.
A node's incoming and outgoing credit connections define exchanges that node advertises, and the rates those exchanges will occur at. For example, if a node has an incoming connection with a relative value of 0.6, and an outgoing connection with a relative value of 1.5, it will emit 1.5 units on the outgoing connection for every 0.6 units it receives on the incoming connection.
This design gives a single node no flexibility to advertise that it won't perform an exchange between one of its incoming connections and one of its outgoing connections. Therefore if a person wishes to not perform exchanges between all their connections, they must have multiple nodes.
Available credit and exchange rates are not binding, just advisory.
Potential for Deception
Nodes might choose to advertise more available credit or better exchange rates than they actually offer, in an attempt to attract more transaction traffic and profit from advantageous exchanges. Advertising more available credit than exists would just waste everyone's time, because a transaction attempting to use the unavailable credit wouldn't go through, and so the deception wouldn't be profitable. Advertising deceptively good exchange rates also shouldn't be very profitable if payers have the ability to specify the minimum amount that must reach the recipient -- payers would just compute how much should reach the recipient at advertised rates, and if an intermediary was lying, the transaction won't go through, and again the liar wouldn't profit.
The one way a deceptive intermediary might profit here is from fees for simply reserving credit for a transaction. An intermediary could falsely advertise an attractive route, accept transaction promises that arrive with fees attached for credit reservation, and then release those promises, since it never had any intention of completing the transaction. Predecessor nodes on the path wouldn't be able to distinguish this from the case where insufficient credit was available further up the path.

NAFDAC takes steps to ease cost of registering products
written by Taiwo Adediran November 8, 2017
The National Agency for Food, Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) says it has taken steps to ease costs of registering products by the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs).
The Acting Director-General of NAFDAC, Mr Ademola Mogbojuri, said this on Wednesday in Enugu, during the South-East Stakeholders Consultative Forum on Implementation of Executive Order on Ease of Doing Business in Nigeria.
Mogbojuri, said that the essence of the forum was to find ways to resolve complaints against the agency and tackle the problems producers face in establishing their own businesses.
The acting director-general was represented by the agency’s Director of Special Duties, Dr Abubakar Jimoh.
He said that the agency was concerned about the growth of small businesses and willing to help young entrepreneurs to start businesses and create more jobs for Nigerians.
“We have recently directed 50 per cent reduction of registration of products for companies with five or less than five employees while reducing registration time to 90 days for all MSMEs.
“NAFDAC has established Small Business Support Desk (SBSD) to guide small businesses through registration processes and also serve as inquiry point for small businesses on regulatory issues.
“Also, we now have electronic submission of documents to line Directorates in Lagos as well as NAFDAC Product Registration Outreach (NPRO).
“This is to provide interactive engagement and advice on documentation, labeling and other requirements so as to facilitate the registration process.
“Fees charged for registration of locally manufactured products are lower than those charged for imported products. The Agency is always discouraging the use of consultants by companies,’’ Mogbojuri said.
Earlier, the Enugu State Coordinator of the agency, Mr Chike Obiano, said that the consultative forum would be sustained and made more frequent because of its importance.
“NAFDAC is committed to zero tolerance on fake drugs, unwholesome processed food and sub-standard regulated products,” he said.
He noted that the agency could not effectively discharge its statutory responsibilities without the collaborative efforts of critical stakeholders, and appealed for the cooperation of the residents.
More than 200 producers participated in the forum.

Watch the beauty of a Lego Porsche 911 crashing in slow motion
https://youtu.be/dCPWPj4JHqg
Who knew a slo-mo car crash could look so celestial? Of course it helps that the car, going about 29 mph, was made of Lego pieces.
From YouTube:
c’t went to the crash test experts from ADAC and crashed the model car just like a big one (EURO-NCAP, 40% offset). The crash was filmed with several high speed cameras with 1000 fps.
Neil Gaiman agrees to read entire Cheesecake Factory menu, with a catch
Neil Gaiman has just agreed to do a dramatic reading of the Cheesecake Factory menu, which is nearly the size of a Bible. But there’s a catch – the Coraline author will only do the reading if $500,000 has been raised for a charity of his choice, which happens to be the United Nations Refugee Agency.
It all started with a tweet from comedian and author Sara Benincasa:
“Dear @neilhimself: for $500K to the charity of your choice would you read the Cheesecake Factory menu in its entirety onstage pls advise.”
To which Gaiman replied a few hours later:
I have said Yes. If she makes it happen, for charity, I will do this thing.
According to Los Angeles Times:
Benincasa told Eater that her tweet was inspired in part by watching the television adaptation of one of Gaiman’s most famous books.
“Last week I watched an episode of the sublime TV adaptation of ‘American Gods,’ went on a goddamn elegant date to Cheesecake, woke up, drank coffee, and went into some kind of inspiration blackout. When I came to, I discovered I’d asked Neil if he’d read the entire Cheesecake Factory menu onstage in exchange for a $500,000 donation to a charity of his choice.”
Benincasa then set up a fundraising campaign on the charity crowdfunding site Crowdrise
“If we hit $500K, Neil has kindly agreed to do a live reading of the greatest restaurant menu of all time. It’s about 8000 pages, last time I checked,” Benincasa wrote on the site. “Have you heard Neil’s voice? Mellifluous, I tell you.”
So if you want to hear all about the Glamburgers, Skinnylicious victuals, cheesecakes galore, and the millions of other Factory menu items read in Gaiman’s “mellifluous” voice, you can chip in at Crowdrise to make it happen.

Good deal on the AmazonBasics travel case: $9
I bought this small travel case in 2011 for $14 and use it whenever I travel. Here’s an article I wrote for Cool Tools a few years ago about the stuff I carry in it.
It’s still in great condition. Amazon has a great sale on it right now for $9.
Here are the favorite book designs of master book designers
I’ve bought an awful lot of books just because I liked the cover. I don’t regret it. It’s like buying an art print that you can pull from your shelf an admire at any time. In this Magenta article, Belinda Lanks asks noted designers about their favorite book covers.
If you ask me who my favorite book jacket designer of all time is, it’s Alvin Lustig. If you ask me which of his jacket designs is my favorite, it’s impossible. It’s most certainly one of the jackets he designed for New Directions’ New Classics. Lustig essentially branded the New Direction series with a modern look that was reminiscent of what was going on in the fine art world. It’s as if he translated a Calder sculpture or a Joan Miro painting into a book cover. Each book is reduced to color, line, shape, and type to reflect the feel of the book rather than the literal content. The geometric shapes, the bold color palettes, the freeform lines still feel modern today. — Rex Bonomelli
When the TSA got suspicious of a scientist's 3D-printed mouse penis
Sometimes, in the course of his work, University of Florida molecular geneticist Martin Cohn must travel with unusual items like a 3D-printed mouse penis. Similarly, University of Massachusetts biologist Diane Kelly totes around anatomical models like a mold of a dolphin vagina. They’re not alone in the odd science-related items they must fly with, from bottles of monkey piss to a stash of 5,000-year-old human bones. At The Atlantic, Ed Yong explores what happens when objects of science meet airport security:
The TSA once stopped Michael Polito, an Antarctic researcher from Louisiana State University, because his bag contained 50 vials of white powder. When he explained that the powder was freeze-dried Antarctic fur seal milk, he got a mixed reaction. “Some officers just wanted to just wave me on,” he says. “Others wanted me to stay and answer their questions, like: How do you milk a fur seal? I was almost late for my flight.”
Airport security lines, it turns out, are a fantastic venue for scientists to try their hand at outreach. Various scientists are said to have claimed that you don’t really understand something if you can’t explain it to your grandmother, a barmaid, a six-year-old, and other such sexist or ageist variants. But how about this: can you successfully explain it to an TSA official—someone who not only might have no background in science, but also strongly suspects that you might be a national security threat? Can you justify your research in the face of questions like “What are you doing?” or “Why are you doing it?” or “Why are you taking that onto a plane?”
Cohn did pretty well to the four assembled TSA agents who started quizzing him about his mouse penis. They noticed that the translucent object had a white tube inside it, and asked if it was a bone. It was indeed—the baculum. “I explained to them that most other mammals have a bone in the penis and humans have lost them,” says Cohn. “I do outreach at the drop of a hat, and I’m ready to teach a bit of evolution to the TSA if they’re interested. And they were freaking out.”

Global recreational drug survey: magic mushrooms are safest
Speed, synthetic cannabis, and alcohol top the list for the most dangerous drugs in the 2017 Global Drug Survey, while cannabis and magic mushrooms are the safest. The results are based on the percentage of people who sought emergency medical treatment after taking one of the drugs.
Both [Adam] Winstock [a consultant addiction psychiatrist and founder of the Global Drug Survey] and [Brad] Burge [from the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (Maps)] said that the findings indicate a need for drug policy reform, with a focus on shifting psychedelics off the schedule one list of the most dangerous controlled substances.
“Drug laws need to balance the positives and problems they can create in society and well crafted laws should nudge people to find the right balance for themselves,” said Winstock.
“People don’t tend to abuse psychedelics, they don’t get dependent, they don’t rot every organ from head to toe, and many would cite their impact upon their life as profound and positive. But you need to know how to use them.”

How to make a cotton candy machine with an angle grinder, then unofficially demo it at Maker Faire
https://youtu.be/x2Cy0SDgnq4
Maker William Osman from Ventura, CA shows us how to make a cotton candy machine with an angle grinder, small metal container, motor, coffee filter, and other household/workshop materials. He worries about being able to bring his contraption onto the Maker Faire grounds, but slips it in with no problem. He then huddles under bleachers to test the machine with friends, and by their reactions it looks like some pretty scrumptious cotton candy. For the grand finale Osman demos the machine to the public, giving out free samples to passersby. That’s the Maker Faire spirit!

Hemp CBD vs Cannabis CBD: THC and CBD Concentrations
Let’s start with taking a look at THC. THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) is the mixture present in cannabis with psychotropic properties. Healthcare cannabis companies breed their flowers to really have the greatest levels of the substance. It is linked to the sense of being high that cannabis cigarette smokers experience. Impacts include emotions of euphoria, treatment and oftenincreased anxiety and paranoia.
Having said that, CBD may be connected with a number of the opposing effects of THC. Clinical trials claim that CBD has been associated with the capability to cut back sickness and anxiety, anti-inflammatory and anti-psychotic properties, and even tumor properties that are fighting the capacity to reduce quantities of despair.
THC works on the endocannabinoid system in a different method from CBD, therefore though it is the same mixture, it generally does not have these advantages. (more…)
CBD E Fluid Review: The Best CBD E Liquid Companies
There are lots of methods for using cannabidiol for the wellness benefits.

Sponges of the NE Atlantic
Rob van Soest
Introduction | Species | Groups | Key | Identification | Glossary | Literature | Credits | Index
(Johnston, 1842)
Suberites carnosus (Johnston, 1842) in its typical form is a stalked fig-shaped orange sponge, with a central apical oscule. More irregular specimens appear to be fused individuals taking a more massive shape and exhibiting several oscules. The extreme contractibility (it shrinks to 1/4 of its size when prodded) of this species is unique and characteristic. The surface is smooth, velvety; the consistency is weak in its expanded form, but more firm when contracted. It is a common species in shallow water.
Taxonomic Description
Colour: Various shades of pale yellow, buff, orange and brown.
Shape, size, surface and consistency: (Suberites carnosus MCS2) (Hymeniacidon carnosa) In the British Isles it typically assumes a hollow contractile, massive fig-shape, attached by a stalk to the substrate. Size typically a few cm high and across. On the Continent a variety of forms have been recognized, graduating from thin sheets and cushions to massive-lobose and even branching forms (see Topsent, 1900, p.233). These forms have yet to be found in British waters. There is some doubt whether all these forms are really one and the same species (cf. also descriptions of Suberites massa). Surface smooth, even, with a minutely velvety feel. This is most easily detected with the tongue. The upper surface is often lightly coated with silt. Usually one oscule, at the top, but there may be more. If so, they are usually all on the uppermost surface. Consistency firm and moderately elastic when out of water. Extremely soft when fully expanded under water. Stalk breaks when bent through 20 deg. (when in contracted condition). Contraction very dramatic, contracts to about 1/4 of its fully expanded size when disturbed. Full contraction takes about 15 seconds. Further contraction occurs when the sponge is removed from the water. Smells faintly of freshly cut Laminaria stipe.
Spicules: (Suberites carnosus spics) Tylostyles, 130-570 µm long, in two distinct sizes. In any given specimen spicules are of a narrower size range than S. ficus. No microscleres.
Skeleton: Subradiate, the radial arrangement of the spicules being most apparent near the surface. Internally the skeleton is confused, almost halichondroid. The larger tylostyles constitute the main structural megascleres, whereas the smaller are perpendicularly arranged as plumose brushes (resembling shaving brushes) at the surface. In the stalk region the spicules are condensed to form an axial skeleton.
Ecology: Usually growing vertically. Sometimes found in muddy places attached to shells or stones buried in the mud, e.g. in harbours and Scottish sea lochs. Down to 108 m.
Distribution: Arctic; Atlantic coasts of Europe; Mediterranean; etc.
Etymology: carnosus (Latin) = fleshy.
Type specimen information: Type: BMNH, unregistered (431E) (dry), Dr. Johnston.
Differences between S. carnosus and S. ficus (based on criteria communicated by S.M. Stone): S. carnosus & S. ficus.

Jerry Blair
Steveston Optical is one of the village’s newest businesses. It was originally located in central Richmond, but last summer owners Jerry and Rosanne Blair moved their shop to Steveston.
Jerry’s connection to this community dates back to his great grandfather, William Bridge, who served as the Reeve of Richmond from 1908 to 1917. William Bridge Elementary School in Broadmoor is named in his honour.
He recollects his great grandfather Bridge’s farm on No. 2 Road and Steveston Highway. As a child, Jerry grew up on an adjacent property owned by his grandmother Lillian Blair who was William Bridge’s daughter. His great grandfather John Blair also had a home in Steveston in the early 1900s.
“I’ve come home to my roots.” Jerry Blair
Rosanne is also a life long Richmond resident; her family has lived here since 1936. Jerry and Rosanne continue to feel a deep historical connection to Steveston; three years ago they purchased one of Richmond’s oldest farmhouses, which was constructed in 1895 and is located at London Landing.
The couple originally trained to be teachers but were unable to get work locally and did not wish to move out of town. Rosanne embarked on a career in the airline industry and Jerry entered the optical business.
Jerry Blair’s name is familiar to many people as he has close to 30 years of experience in the optical business.
Wishing to base both their home and business in Steveston, two years ago Jerry and Rosanne purchased the industrial building on First Avenue next door to Waves Coffee House. In July 2019 they opened Steveston Optical in one of its retail spaces. Jerry comments, “I like that Steveston still has the feeling of old Richmond. There really is not a lot left of Richmond’s early days other than Steveston, and to have that in a retail setting is even better. This is one of the reasons my family bought the building that we now occupy. I like the combination of industrial fused with the new retail shops and the many restaurants that make up Steveston. I believe Steveston is Richmond’s Yaletown in the making.”
He appreciates the connection to Steveston’s rich maritime heritage and that his shop is located in a building where boats were once built.
Jerry says, “We enjoyed renovating and decorating the space.” He credits Rosanne for the tasteful décor, which marries industrial and nautical. The white walls, wood floors, and dark wood display cases create a timeless look.
“Customers love the shop and comment that it looks like Steveston on the inside,” he says.
Steveston Optical offers prescription eyeglasses, sunglasses, contact lenses, and sportswear. Some top frame designers include Boss, Chloe, Coach, Emporio Armani, Gucci, Maui Jim, Oakley, Ray-Ban, Tiffany & Co., Tom Ford, Salvatore Ferragamo and many more.
Steveston Optical also carries a good selection of eyewear for children. If you have concerns about which glasses your child would like to wear, or more importantly, which pair of glasses will be durable, Jerry and his staff are pleased to assist.
With the volume of walk-by traffic, Jerry has increased the store’s selection of sunglasses. On sunny summer days, he noticed a surge in sunglass sales, as people dropped in to purchase a pair to wear while strolling around the village, heading to an outdoor patio or walking along the dyke. Jerry believes being a small business owner is advantageous. “We have knowledgeable staff, including Vita Chak, who has been with us long term. You don’t get the same service at the larger stores that sell glasses.”
In addition to selling optical products, Steveston Optical also offers eye exams Tuesday through Saturday. Dr. Albert Schuss is a respected optometrist who many customers know, and Dr. Christine Wang has also joined the team.
“A lot of my old customers have found the new shop. They either live in the area or visit on occasion because they love to walk in the village and explore the area. There is nothing like it in Richmond or Vancouver for that matter.”
The greatest reward for me is knowing that relocating to Steveston has been a very good move for me and Rosanne, and of course for Steveston Optical,” Jerry concludes.

Living in the depths of the [[Old Forest]], he seemed to possess unequaled power in the land around his dwelling. Although seemingly benevolent, he took no stance against the [[Dark Lord]]s. His existence passed into Hobbit lore and was referenced in poems such as ''[[The Adventures of Tom Bombadil]]''. ==History== ===Origins=== [[Image:Olanda Fong-Surdenas - Tom Bombadil.jpg|thumb|left|250px|''Tom Bombadil'' by Olanda Fong-Surdenas]] {{quote|He is a strange creature.|[[Elrond]], ''[[The Council of Elrond]]''}} The origins and [[Tom Bombadil/Nature|nature of Tom Bombadil]] are unknown; however, he already existed when the [[Morgoth|Dark Lord]] came to [[Arda]],<ref name="house">{{FR|Bombadil}}</ref> signifying he was alive even before the coming of the [[Valar]]. His role and nature in the [[Elder Days]] is unknown, but he must have witnessed most of the major events and battles. He also witnessed the reducing of the great forests that covered all [[Middle-earth]], and perhaps of his powers.<ref name="CoE"/> The level of his interactions with the outside world is also unclear; however, he seemed to have a name among many peoples and perhaps became a folkloric figure in the traditions and legends of Elves, Dwarves and Men.<ref name="CoE"/><ref name="Adv">{{AB|Preface}}</ref> During the [[Third Age]], Tom Bombadil lived in a little house by the river [[Withywindle]] in the [[Old Forest]], together with his lovely wife [[Goldberry]]. He had contact with the [[Bucklanders]]<ref name="Adv"/> and [[Farmer Maggot]], and perhaps it was this to which he owed his jolly and whimsical attitude. However, since he was merry and benevolent, some of the Free Peoples considered him a potential ally (for example, [[Elrond]] and [[Erestor]] considered that he should be present at the [[Council of Elrond]]). However, according to [[Gandalf]], Tom Bombadil was perhaps not fully aware of the struggle of Light and Darkness and could not prove useful to their causes.<ref name="CoE"/> ===War of the Ring=== [[Image:Ted Nasmith - The Willow Man is Tamed.jpg|thumb|[[Ted Nasmith]] - ''The Willow Man is Tamed'']] On [[26 September]], {{TA|3018}}, he encountered [[travellers|four hobbits]] while he was searching for water-lilies for his wife. Two of those Hobbits, [[Meriadoc Brandybuck|Merry]] and [[Peregrin Took|Pippin]], had been captured by [[Old Man Willow]]. Tom, who was the master of the Old Forest, rescued them, and took all four of them to his house.<ref name="OldF">{{FR|Forest}}</ref> The four hobbits stayed two nights, and he told them many tales and songs. With cunning questions, he made [[Frodo Baggins|Frodo]] tell him of the [[The One Ring|Ring]]. When Tom tried it on, nothing happened, but he then took it off and flipped it in the air and made the ring itself disappear, showing that indeed within his realm Tom was master. However, when Frodo put the ring on, Tom could still see him. He bade the Hobbit to come back and sit down; his hand was fairer without the ring. The following morning, Tom warned his guests of the [[Barrow-downs]], and advised them to pass any barrow on the western side. He also taught them a song, should they come to peril.<ref name="house"/> And they did come to peril. Tom chased off a [[Barrow-wights|wight]] with song, and broke the spells on the barrow in which the four hobbits were captured. While he sent the Hobbits into calm down, he went for provisions. He also brought the ponies that had belonged to Merry. After that, he broke the spells of the barrow. From the barrow's mighty hoard, he took a brooch for Goldberry, and gave a [[Daggers of Westernesse|dagger]] to each of the hobbits. He then advised them to make for ''[[The Prancing Pony]]'' in [[Bree]].<ref>{{FR|Barrow}}</ref> The peril of the hobbits was not over; an attack on their lives was carried out, and their ponies were set loose. The ponies apparently remembered the care they were given in the house of Tom Bombadil, and returned to stay beside Tom's own pony, [[Fatty Lumpkin]]. He returned them to [[Barliman Butterbur]], the proprietor of ''The Prancing Pony''. Since he had paid eighteen pence as compensation for the loss, he was now the owner of five fine ponies.<ref>{{FR|Knife}}</ref> ==Etymology and other names== Tom Bombadil went by many names: * To the [[Elves]] and [[Dúnedain]], he was known as '''''[[iaur|Iar]][[gwain|wain]] [[penadar|Ben-adar]]''''', which translates to "oldest and fatherless".<ref name="CoE">{{FR|Council}}</ref> Iarwain literally means "Old-young"<ref>''[[The Lord of the Rings: A Reader's Companion]]'' p. 128; quoting an unpublished letter by Tolkien</ref> * To [[Men]] of the [[Vales of Anduin]] and [[Rohan]], he was known as '''''Orald'''''.<ref name="CoE"/> This is an [[Old English]] word meaning "very ancient.<ref name="nomen">{{HM|N}}, p, 761</ref> * The Dwarves knew him as '''''Forn'''''. This too is a reference to his age: it is [[North Germanic languages|Old Norse]] for "(belonging to) ancient (days)".<ref name="nomen"/> In some imprints of ''[[The History of Middle-earth Index]]'', this name was accidentally spelled with a "P" as the first letter.<ref>{{HM|IX}}, "Tom Bombadil (VII)", p. 435</ref> * ''Tom Bombadil'' is said to be a [[Buckland|Bucklandish]] name, added by Hobbit chroniclers to his many older ones.

Too Many Characters For Twitter
In which we stray from The Quiet Road and respond to some tweets
Tag: UK Labour Party
Long rambling opinion piece:
A twitter debate with a Jeremy Corbyn fan
by Jim Bliss
Jeremy Corbyn is the leader of the UK’s Labour Party. He’s fairly left-wing, certainly by the standards of recent Labour Party leaders. He has a bunch of policies that I — as a bit of an auld lefty — broadly agree with.
Yet I dislike him. Quite a bit.
I’ve long rejected simple political labels. I agree with Orwell in “Politics and The English Language” when he points out that most — if not all — political labels have no universal definition. A person will say “socialist” or “democracy” and their listeners will all have completely different ideas about what’s being discussed. Worse still, this ambiguity is often used in a consciously dishonest way… deploying the words as weapons or tricks to gain advantage or influence.
However, we all still have to use those words from time to time or else political conversation becomes impossible. And I do have a basic belief in broad socialist principles. Wealth redistribution, a social safety-net, universal health care, collective ownership of specific resources and services… not all; I believe market mechanisms have their place (indeed; quite a lot of places) so long as that place is well-defined and regulated in the collective interest.
Importantly however, my socialism* is of the “internationalist” variety. I believe people should — insofar as is practical — be allowed seek a decent life without national borders being an obstacle. And I believe people should have the same rights and be treated equally, no matter where they are. Clearly if you compare Norway to Saudi Arabia, for example, there’s a long way to go before that ideal is even glimpsed on the horizon. But aim high, right?
Insofar as is practical
No, that doesn’t mean some kind of “free-for-all”. Right now, it’s practical for freedom of movement to exist within the EU. More than practical, it’s bloody marvelous. It’s also practical — and marvelous — for Europe to offer aid and shelter to refugees escaping war and disaster. None of this comes without problems to solve; occasionally even serious ones. But those problems can be solved, and the benefits (social, moral and economic) far outweigh them in any case.
At the same time, yes, there are limits to global freedom of movement. Certainly over some timescales. It’s not always practical (or even feasible), especially in a world with such an uneven distribution of wealth. “Wealthy countries” sadly don’t have the infrastructure to resettle everyone who wants to leave a less wealthy country and instantly raise their standards of living. Not overnight. The solution to this — of course — is to find some mechanism to redistribute wealth more evenly from the wealthy nations to those less well-off.
The EU, incidentally, is arguably one of the first major political projects to have had some success in that kind of peaceful, voluntary trans-national redistribution endeavor. Of course it’s not perfect; but it’s better than what we had before. And it can be made better still. Wouldn’t it be great to have a strong, left-wing, pro-EU Britain helping influence European policy in that direction?
International socialism again, even if heavily disguised. Sorry.
And I’m not saying it’s easy to raise the living standards in the most poverty-stricken parts of the world… but if you say it’s “impossible” then we’ll have to disagree. I place a little more faith in the problem-solving capacity of the human intellect than you do. And that’s fine. We can’t break the laws of physics, and our inaction on Climate Change and resource depletion will probably screw us all anyway… but there are solutions to inequality if we try hard enough.
Wasn’t this supposed to be about Jeremy Corbyn?
Yes. Yes it was. And yes it is.
Corbyn’s speech to Scottish Labour conference, Dundee – confusion and contradictions on Brexit or why is Labour not opposing Brexit? a thread
— Kirsty Hughes (@KirstyS_Hughes) March 9, 2018
The above tweet appeared in my twitter feed. It’s the first tweet in a thread that clearly and unambiguously reveals the incoherence, contradictions and plain nonsense contained within Jeremy Corbyn’s position on Brexit, as conveyed in his speech to the Scottish Labour Party Conference (click through and read the whole thread if you like; I don’t see anything remotely controversial about it… it’s just facts).
Corbyn’s Brexit plan mirrors (almost exactly) that of David Davis, Boris Johnson and Theresa May… it’s filled with “have your cake and eat it” absurdities, insistence of British exceptionalism (the right to continued influence over EU policy while standing outside the organisation and cherry-picking which rules the UK will adhere to), and easily as much ignorance about the economic, political, and legal realities of the customs union and single market as is displayed by Liam Fox on an off-day.
It’s just full of nonsense. But politicians often talk nonsense. That’s not the big problem here. Cake-ism has become such a pervading attitude within the British political scene and media that we’re probably just going to have to accept it and nod politely until they decide to grow up a bit. No, the big problem with the speech — not specifically highlighted in the above thread — was that it contained an unhealthy dose of anti-immigrant rhetoric. This has become a bit of a theme in Jeremy Corbyn’s speeches and interviews since the referendum, and it is the explanation for that dislike I expressed in the first paragraph.
Corbyn’s Scotland Speech: a tiny bit less unpleasant than previous disparaging comments about immigrants, I suppose
Here’s that section from the speech in Scotland (a speech in which, prior to this clip, he insisted the referendum vote must be respected… despite Scotland voting solidly to Remain… I know, I know Scotland doesn’t get to decide its own future, but it was still a bit insensitive, no?)

Anyway, it’s pleasing that he no longer talks about cheap Central European workers being “imported wholesale” and “destroying conditions” for British workers. His PR-person had a word in his ear and “Central European” has become “agency” and while he still thinks of them as commodities to be “imported”, I suppose it’s an improvement that he’s no longer describing them as “wholesale”. He’s still insisting they’re driving down pay and conditions (though he’s careful not to talk about them “destroying” anything… again, the PR-person probably had a word).
But let’s be crystal clear here… that last bit about destroying / driving down pay and conditions… there’s absolutely no evidence to support it. In fact, the evidence that exists shows absolutely nothing of the sort. Here’s an excellent twitter thread providing sourced-stats that reveal Jeremy Corbyn’s ignorance (or outright lies?) on this matter…
1/ Corbyn thinks he has found a line on how to bash EU migrants without being seen as xenophobic.
The EU Posted Workers Directive.
This directive allows companies to post workers within the EU without having to abide to local labour laws. https://t.co/Y1JdsjFx9H

See, if you’re the leader of a major political party and you pepper speeches and interviews with demonstrable falsehoods about the negative impact of immigrants, you don’t — in my view — get much of a benefit of the doubt. It’s just vile. It’s dog-whistle politics of the worst kind… reminiscent of something… what was it again…?
Oh that’s right…
And yet, there’s a veritable army of Labour supporters and Jeremy Corbyn fans who are willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. More than that; they’ll defend him to the hilt. I always find it interesting how much blind loyalty can be inspired by a politician willing to play to the unconscious prejudices of his audience**.
Yesterday I got into a discussion / debate with one of those supporters. As usual, I won’t be linking or posting that person’s tweets directly here***. However I will bend over backwards not to misrepresent the position of that person. I endeavor to be fair-minded and always debate in good faith. Not saying I always succeed, but I try.
Anyway, the Jeremy Corbyn supporter with whom I was debating made the following three claims in his defence (there may have been other points made; but these constitute the main thrust of the argument).
Firstly, Corbyn has a long track-record of “siding with immigrants”.
Secondly, the supposed anti-immigrant stuff is actually a criticism of unscrupulous bosses who exploit those workers; not of the immigrants themselves.
Thirdly (and this is the one I was most intrigued by), Jeremy Corbyn doesn’t mean what he says in those speeches and interviews. He’s “not in a political position” to say what he really believes and is instead saying whatever he needs to say to get into power; even if he doesn’t mean it.
That first one sounds like a defence, but is actually a damning indictment. The way I read it is this… Jeremy Corbyn has long-supported the rights of immigrants. He has been consistently on their side.
Since the referendum his public statements have become at best — and this is being insanely generous — ambivalent about immigrants. From full-throated support to “wholesale importation” in the space of a day at the referendum. The wind changed. Anti-immigrant sentiment went mainstream. 52% of voters appeared to endorse a UKIP view of immigrants and as a result; just when those immigrants most needed a loud, unwavering, unambiguous defender; Jeremy Corbyn flipped and sought to fill Labour’s sails with that xenophobic wind, or at least syphon off enough of it to win a few marginals.
From siding with immigrants to accusing them of destroying British workers’ conditions. Why? Because it looks like there might be some votes in xenophobia this season? Yeuch!
Let’s be clear; this isn’t some minor politician altering their position on a local school closure because they realise it gains them some votes (as lacking in integrity as that doubtlessly is). This is the leader of the opposition (and — according to a recent poll — the likely next Prime Minister) of the UK suddenly switching from “siding with immigrants” to launching public attacks on them at the precise moment they’re at their most vulnerable.
Sign The Brexit Papers!
Right now in the UK, there is an apparent spike in the number of people being threatened, intimidated, and sometimes physically assaulted because of their nationality or race. And when you see the video posted by a black student, justifiably scared by the vicious arseholes chanting “We hate the blacks! We are the black-haters!” outside her door… and then hear them chanting “Brexit! Brexit! Sign The Brexit Papers!” you realise what an ugly can of worms has been opened by that referendum.

— Sky News (@SkyNews) March 8, 2018
These vile people have — unquestionably — been emboldened by the vote. That’s not a suggestion that the 17.3 million British people (52% of those who voted) who triggered Brexit are all “the black haters”. It’s just pointing out that one of the consequences of their decision has been to provide a terrible faux-legitimacy to awful people and their hatred. And yes, I think if you chant “We hate the blacks” it’s not hyperbole to describe it as “hate speech”.
Let’s also be clear… I’m not for a moment saying or implying that Jeremy Corbyn feels anything but disgust at the behaviour of those people. I feel 100% certain that he does. Those people don’t represent him, and he doesn’t represent them. And if someone suggests that; they’re a goddamn moron.
But every time a prominent politician gives a speech or an interview and whispers into the ear of the British public that immigrants are lowering their wages and destroying their working conditions…? It makes the people who chant racist slurs feel a little bit more comfortable; a little bit more legitimate; a little bit more like they have the backing of those in power.
But it’s really about unscrupulous bosses
Jeremy Corbyn has stated that his problem isn’t with immigrants per se, but with the dodgy bosses and employment agencies who do the “wholesale importation”. Immigrants are very possibly decent people exploited by an immigration system that’s destroying the conditions of the British worker. The person I was debating with posted two separate instances of Corbyn making that very point.
And yes, he says that. But he doesn’t just say that, does he?
Make no mistake; if that really was Corbyn’s concern, then the answer is to only talk about the unscrupulous bosses and agencies while at the same time maintaining the supposed track-record of always siding with immigrants. The answer is to come up with stronger regulation of the unscrupulous behaviour; to devise policies that raise the pay and conditions of British and immigrant workers; to regularly stress the benefits of immigration during this time when those people most need a strong voice in their corner. To work with the EU to protect the rights of workers, whatever their nationality. But apparently he’s not in “a political position” to side with immigrants right now… it’s more important he sway some UKIP voters into his camp. Even if “the black haters” do feel a bit more confident in their hatred as a result.
If you abandon the vulnerable because you think it’ll win you votes; then I hope to hell you don’t get a single one. Whoever you are.
If it’s really about the unscrupulous agencies, then modify your damn language Mr. Corbyn! Don’t talk about “the low-paid immigrants destroying conditions”. Not ever. Support the low-paid whoever they are. Whether born in London, Leeds, Liepāja or Ljubljana. And demand better workplace regulation and higher pay for everyone. Leave out the scapegoating and the xenophobic dog-whistles. Stop making the racists feel at home. They shouldn’t be welcome in the Labour tent… however many votes they offer. You’re supposed to represent the people who elect you, Mr. Corbyn. So why do you want the votes of the anti-immigrant crowd? The end justify the means?
Jeremy Corbyn: Will Lie For Votes
Which segues nicely into the final — and most depressing — defence of Jeremy Corbyn. He doesn’t mean what he says. He’s just saying whatever the hell he thinks will get him elected.
Really? That’s the big, ringing endorsement is it? Christ… how far the idealistic have fallen, eh? I remember a time when a politician telling lies to trick people into voting for them under false pretences was a solid reason not to vote for them. For Corbyn supporters it’s the opposite… it shows how great he is.
Guess what, Jeremy Corbyn fans, it doesn’t show how great he is. It shows the complete opposite.
Remember when Corbyn’s big attraction was his integrity? “You may not agree with everything he says, but at least you know where he stands”. He placed honesty above spin, didn’t he? Well, that’s how Corbyn fans sold him to us first time around. Why has the sales pitch suddenly switched to “You may not know where he stands, but at least he’ll say whatever gets him power”? I understand your desperation, I really do. But I’m not a big fan of the lies and hypocrisy.
And that’s some really deep hypocrisy you’ve chosen to wade through on your way to power.
I’ve never been the world’s most vocal proponent of representative democracy. But most of Corbyn’s supporters would be solidly democratic. Yet they are happy to support a leader who’ll subvert it in the name of power. Because tricking people to vote for you — by telling them what they want to hear, not what you truly believe — is a blatant subversion of democracy.
When Albert Einstein wrote, in his essay, Why Socialism?
It is thus extremely difficult, and indeed in most cases quite impossible, for the individual citizen to come to objective conclusions and to make intelligent use of his political rights.
he was specifically attacking the tendency of private capital to control “the main sources of information”. Nonetheless, having read the entire published output of the man, I will confidently claim he would have put lying politicians in the same bracket when it comes to undermining democratic principles. If people don’t know what they are voting for; if they’ve been misled by lies and propaganda… trickery to con them out of voting for what they actually believe in… then it’s proto-tyranny, not democracy.
And no, “but everybody does it” does not make it any better.
But those people SHOULD be fooled
This was not an argument made by my twitter interlocutor, but it’s one I’m willing to make on their behalf… is it not a good thing that xenophobes and borderline (even not so borderline) racists are fooled into voting for a less extreme party? Does it really matter if those people are deprived, through propaganda and disinformation, of their ability to arrive at “objective conclusions”? In short, shouldn’t we treat them with the contempt they deserve and try and undermine their democratic rights?
Well, obviously not if you believe those rights are important or universal (the ethical argument). And definitely not (the practical argument) if you want to reduce the extremism, hatred, fear and anger of those people. Yeah, a lot of them are morons. But even morons eventually work out they’ve been conned. And guess what? That doesn’t actually make them any less extreme. Quite the opposite in fact. I’m not telling anyone to treat “the black haters” as reasonable people… but I would urge us all to try and not make them any more unreasonable than they already are.
Courting the votes of xenophobes, pretending to be sympathetic to their position, and then betraying their trust after you get their vote…? Well, it’s better than courting the votes of xenophobes, pretending to be sympathetic to their position, and then not betraying their trust after you get their vote.
But you know what’s better than both? That’s right Jeremy… not courting the votes of xenophobes in the first place. Not telling lies about foreigners destroying the jobs of decent British people. Not making racists feel better about themselves.
Except… well, who’s really being fooled?
I’m not at all sure my Corbyn-supporting sparring-partner on twitter really got this point. But if Jeremy Corbyn gives an interview accusing “imported immigrants” of destroying British workers conditions on a Monday; then on Tuesday gives a speech about unscrupulous bosses doing the real damage; what makes you assume the former is just a vote-grabbing tactic while the latter is his real position? Why can’t it be the opposite?
Were people sent a Corbyn-decoder-ring with their Labour lapel-pin when they joined the party? Does he give a secret signal to let his supporters know “this one’s the lie”? Is it dependent on what colour suit he’s wearing? The time of day of the interview? How exactly am I supposed to know that this is a compassionate, internationalist strategically courting xenophobic votes? And not a secret xenophobe strategically courting the liberals?
From what I can gather the answer appears to be twofold…
Firstly — and to return to a previous point — his track-record of siding with immigrants. Except… well, when you abandon a vulnerable group in their hour of greatest need, then maybe your support for them was never all that sincere in the first place?
Leaving us with the second answer… “as a Jeremy Corbyn supporter, when he says something I agree with, then he’s telling the truth. If I disagree with something he says, then obviously he’s just saying it to trick people into voting for him”.
I’m guessing the Corbyn-decoder-ring is really a state of mind… two parts desperation to three parts blind faith.
* I’m still bristling at the self-application of the “socialist” label. I’m aware no two people reading this will have exactly the same understanding of that word. And it’s far, far from pure socialism I’m talking about… there’s a whole bunch of other stuff mixed in there; a dollop of anarchism, a soupcon of rugged capitalist individualism, plus lots and lots of obscure ideas from the work of anthropologist Gregory Bateson, as well as a hefty dose of the later Freud. [back]
** Freud’s excellent paper on Group Psychology explains why this should be (his analysis of The Church and The Army can be equally applied, with surprisingly few tweaks, to a political party). [back]
** I’ll post tweets from public figures / politicians / journalists that I disagree with, and dissect them. Those people consciously put their ideas into the world hoping they’ll make an impact. They invite analysis and critique. I’ll also post tweets of twitter folk when I agree with them, or when they simply contain factual information. Twitter is a public platform and I don’t think it’s wrong to re-post someone’s tweet on a blog when it’s an endorsement, or the sharing of facts. However, taking some random citizen’s words which were directed at me personally or perhaps at a couple of hundred followers, and critiquing them in my own private corner of the web never feels right to me. Of course those people have a right to reply, and I’ll post any comment they make (assuming it ain’t libelous or otherwise legally dodgy). But it’s still a bit “off” I think. [back]

Philosopher, writer, web developer, ex-industrial engineer. I occasionally blog at The Quiet Road. And I can be found on twitter at @JimBliss23.
Twitter is a useful site. And the character limit is part of that (I’m not on Facebook, which I find troubling for a whole bunch of reasons). I use Twitter to keep in touch with some friends, but also as a news source; and very occasionally as a discussion forum.
However, in the latter scenario, I often find myself wanting to follow-up a point in more depth than Twitter will allow. This site is a response to that.
I could have just stuck with my old blog (which will probably still be updated from time to time); but I fancied a bit of a change, and was interested in how quickly I could build a semi-usable blog theme entirely from scratch (5 hours, give or take).

Debasing the CJ post
From the noisy media circus atmospherics the past two weeks surrounding the scramble of Cabinet-member wannabes and outsiders for the Judiciary’s top post, to the buzz on whether or not these nominees’ Judicial and Bar Council (JBC) interviews should be televised, down to the paparazzi fervor with which these prospective candidates are being introduced to the public, all efforts in finding a replacement for ousted Chief Justice (CJ) Renato Corona ultimately bring up one question: Isn’t this a debasement, a trivialization, of what in the past was considered a rarefied post, along with the essential attributes of detachment and transcendence that the candidates — not just for the Supreme Court (SC) but for the Judiciary as a whole — are supposed to possess?
Thus, it was with a sense of disbelief that I witnessed the likes of the country’s chief tax collector showing off her wares in a cable news interview and of law deans and professors parading themselves to catch media attention, like in a burlesque show. It really is a sad spectacle; and sadder still when you think of how low it speaks of the ruling powers’ regard for the Judiciary.
One CJ qualification raised by Malacañang spokesman Edwin Lacierda, in obvious support of 51-year-old Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) Chief Kim Henares, was on the matter of age. He told Palace reporters that since “age is not a factor,” a CJ candidate does not have to be old. What did he mean by that?
First of all, being 40 is not necessarily “young” to the younger set. Despite that, 50 can now be the “new 40” and 60 the “new 50.” Moreover, someone who is 60 can even conceivably be 40 in many respects since it is now widely believed that the mind determines the age. Therefore, someone at age 51 who is crabby, myopic, tyrannical and oppressive can really be an 81-year-old Mubarak in mental state. Got that, Lacierda?
Well, perhaps to buttress his argument, Lacierda also cited the case of US Federal Supreme Court CJ John Roberts, who, upon assuming his post at age 50, serves as an example of a young person appointed to the zenith of the Judiciary. What he failed to note, however, was whether or not this young appointee indeed had a sterling record of public service to begin with.
Objections were already raised about Roberts’ pro-right, anti-abortion leanings that allegedly triggered some violence by extremist groups prior to his appointment. Then, in his five years at the helm, a number of major, yet unsettling, changes came about under his leadership, which led retired Justice Sandra Day O’Connor to lament, among other things, Roberts’ reversal of her major contribution to US jurisprudence of imposing spending limits on political campaigns.
So besides the 40-year-old age requirement for Philippine CJs, should there be any room for petty ageism? Moreover, given the importance of the CJ’s position, have we ever had any in-depth, ideological, or jurisprudential discussion on issues relating to the CJ’s appointment?
Sadly, it has always been the case of the Chief Executive and his spokesmen, the Legislature, and the media being at the forefront of providing leading, albeit shallow and mediocre, questions in whatever discussions, with politicians, media, relatives, friends of JBC members, or law fraternities holding sway on a personal or parochial basis.
Such a debased (or debasing) process of naming, vetting and appointing the next CJ clearly creates worse conditions for any nominee, as he will no longer be unaffected; will likely feel obliged to respond to private and public parties to which he may feel indebted; or will fear chastisement if he displeases one or the other source of support for his appointment.
We must therefore take a second look at the serendipitous findings of lawyers Alan Paguia and Homobono Adaza in reviewing Article VIII Section 9 on the Judiciary: That there is no constitutional basis for the nomination by the JBC and the President’s appointment of the CJ.
Given the fundamental principles upon which our nation’s democratic system is supposedly founded (namely, the separation-of-powers, checks-and-balances, the independence of the Judiciary) and taking heed of the caveat from an old adage that says “Absolute power corrupts absolutely,” we must end the practice of appointing a CJ from outside the SC once and for all in order to enhance the high court’s independence and detachment and for it to focus purely on the interpretation and execution of the Constitution and all its laws.
It is for this reason that Paguia, Adaza, Jojo Borja, myself, and several others will be filing a petition before the SC this Thursday on the issue.
Our thanks thus go to citizens Ric Palompon of Manila, Editha of Batangas, Bonifacio from the South, Romeo Lopez, Olive of Bulacan, Mrs. Villanueva of Mandaluyong, Mrs. Borja of Iligan, and Glen of QC for sending in donations for the filing fee and photocopying. To the few donors who have not sent in their names, we wish to thank them as well. Because of your generosity, I believe we will have enough by the date of filing. Mabuhay to all the conscientious and pro-active citizens who are continuing to support our cause!

‘US anti-terrorism policy violates human rights’ – Jimmy Carter
Former US president Jimmy Carter has criticized America’s actions against terrorism, saying that drones attacks and targeted assassination of suspicious people are undermining America’s “role as the global champion of human rights.”
In his critical article "A Cruel and Unusual Record" published in the New York Times, Jimmy Carter said that with all the revolutions sweeping around the world, America should “make the world safer.” Instead, however, “America’s violation of international human rights abets our enemies and alienates our friends,” he argues.
US’s government counterterrorism policies, Carter says, are now clearly violating at least 10 of the 30 articles written in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights..... MORE

Turkey's downed jet: NATO action in disguise?
Turkey is pushing NATO to regard Syria's recent downing of a Turkish jet as an attack on the alliance. NATO is gathering to discuss the incident, while some see parallels with the events that preceded NATO’s campaign in Libya.
Turkey insists that its unarmed RF-4E reconnaissance jet was shot down in international airspace on Friday while testing a domestic radar system. The country’s Deputy Prime Minister Bulent Arinc also said Monday that Syrian forces had opened ground fire on a search and rescue plane shortly after the first jet was downed.
Turkey has also requested that NATO hold a meeting under Article 4 of the alliance's treaty, which allows a NATO member to request a consultation if it feels a threat to its territorial integrity or security. The meeting is due to take place on Tuesday. The alliance will consider classifying the Friday incident as an armed attack under Article 5, which states that an attack against one NATO member shall be considered an attack against all NATO members.....

547,000 victims
To learned obser-vers, it is not so much the news that the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) has shifted $1 biliion of its $77 billion reserves from bonds or other financial instruments lodged with its accredited fund managers to an interest bearing account called the “firewall fund” administered by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) that is the problem. That shift, not a lending, is not really as gross and threatening as some sectors would like the public to believe. It is in fact a prudent and, yes, a beneficial move as part of our commitment to the stability of global financial markets. Rather, it is the report that the BSP has presided over the collapse of 41 banks in the last 18 months alone putting the monies of 547,000 depositors in extreme jeopardy, which has raised alarm bells in these parts.
Coming as it did with the 49th anniversary of the Philippine Deposit Insurance Corp. (PDIC) and the celebration of “Depositor Protection Week,” this piece of bad news has really sent shudders down the spine of millions of depositors whose hard-earned monies may just be lost in a jiffy resulting from what some observers have described as a disturbing trend of laxity in the BSP’s examination and supervisory functions as well as the inchoate if not conflicting rules and issuances made by it and its twin banking regulatory agency, the PDIC.
The unprecedented bank closures of more than two banks per month has prompted LPGMA party-list Rep. Arnel Ty to push a congressional inquiry on the reasons behind these closures and their impact on the communities and sectors they serve and the economy as a whole..... MORE

Small lady at LTO strikes again
The BS Aquino administration seems so fond of small ladies, whether fictitious or real. One such small lady was mentioned during the impeachment trial where a congressman alleged that some documents were handed to him by a small lady.
Another is a mysterious small lady who left some documents at the gate of another congressman in his Loyola Heights home. Now another small lady that figured out in a very high profile controversy is the small lady of the Land Transportation Office (LTO), and mind you, this small lady is not fictitious, she is for real and she’s got big plans but most have gained notoriety in our current day to day life. She’s none other than the best friend and shooting buddy of his Excellency BS Aquino, Ms. Virginia Torres.
Charlie Manalo of the Tribune called her, the most controversial official. If we recall, Ms Torres got involved in illegall and forcible takeover the facilities of Stradcom, a company owned by Mr. Cesar Quiambao. Torres tried to help the Sumbilla group, a group claiming ownership of Stradcom to forcibly open the offices of Quiambao’s Stradcom and entered its premises aided by LTO security forces. For this notorious act, Department of Justice (DoJ) Secretary Leila de Lima recommended the filing of both administrative and criminal cases and dismissal of Torres from government service..... MORE

One dead as Chinese ship sinks RP boat near shoal
FISHING CRAFT’S CAPTAIN SAYS ATTACK INTENTIONAL
The first physical encounter between Chinese and Philippine vessels amid a tense naval standoff over conflicting territorial claims of both countries happened last June 18, or a day after President Aquino ordered the pullout of Philippine ships from the disputed Scarborough Shoal, in an incident where a Chinese vessel rammed a local fishing boat near the shoal, killing one and leaving four others missing.
Office of Civil Defense chief Benito Ramos described the ramming as accidental but Posio Balmores, captain of the motorized fishing boat AXL John, said their seacraft was intentionally bumped.
Ramos, nevertheless, admitted that the suspected Chinese vessel did not stop to help the Filipino fishermen as seafaring protocol calls, raising suspicion that the incident was not accidental.
“It (foreign vessel) did not (stop) that’s why we are doubtful if it was accidental then they should have helped them (Filipino fishermen). They were recovered two days after by fellow Filipino fishermen,” Ramos said..... MORE

Carpio accuser produces witness to SC cover-up in Urban Bank case
A lawyer, who was disbarred after accusing Supreme Court (SC) Senior Associate Justice Antonio Carpio of improprieties in handling a case involving the now defunct Urban Bank, has produced a key witness to back up his claim that there had been a cover-up.
The witness, former SC stenographer Fe Malou Castelo, who took notes of important proceedings in the high court for nine years lashed out at justices of the tribunal who, according to
her, erred in ordering the disbarment of the lawyer on “inadequate and insufficient” grounds.
In an affidavit dated May 25, 2012, Castelo, who was SC stenographer from 1997 to 2006, also backed claims by Magdaleno Peña that there was a “cover-up” in the complaints he filed against some justices and that the documents he submitted pertaining to an allegedly forged resolution issued in November 2002 by then First Division member Associate Justice Antonio Carpio were authentic.
“Throughout my tenure as a stenographer with the SC, I have never experienced an instance wherein any justice or division, or the en banc for that matter, changed the actions taken and agreed upon during the deliberations, without having the particular case called again,” Castelo said..... MORE

POEA blacklists 2 US recruitment firms

Two US-based employment agencies were blacklisted by the Philippine Overseas Employment Agency (POEA) for deceiving 24 overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) who were promised jobs in hotels in Florida but were forced to work as farmers in Mississippi.
The POEA cancelled the recruitment license of US Opportunities and Royal Hospitality Services and the ZDrive Inc., both US-based employment services companies, for their failure to provide Filipino workers the jobs specified in their contracts.
POEA Administrator Hans Leo Cacdac also ordered the exclusion of two US-based companies from participating in the government’s overseas employment program for contractual violation under the POEA Rules and Regulations Governing the Recruitment and Employment of Land-based Overseas Workers..... MORE

Pasig PNP plan to release reporter’s assailant foiled
Plans of the Pasig City police to release “at cost” an arrested suspect believed to be one of the three assailants behind the slay try on The Daily Tribune reporter Fernan Angeles last March, was foiled when the journalist himself showed up at the Pasig PNP station to verify a text message saying the local drug ring’s designated hitman had just been picked up.
Angeles, who sustained permanent physical disabilities resulting from an ambush that saw him peppered with six bullets, assailed the anti-drug operatives of the Pasig PNP.
Angeles, who has resumed covering Malacañang Palace for The Tribune, recounted having seen how the Pasig PNP’s anti-drug operatives even accorded privilege to the suspect, one alias Junior Praning, who was allowed to use the mobile phone of an anti-drug police officer so he could contact anybody who could “bail him out instantly.”....

Everything that Rises
The two young women were sitting next to each other. I asked them to read their poems out loud to the class. The first woman, from Hong Kong, wrote a poem about her grandmother who lost her land in Indonesia, was exiled in China and then moved to Hong Kong. She has terrible memories that she never shared with her grandchildren, but she turns down her hearing aid the better to forget. (Dementia does the rest.) The second woman, half-Japanese, wrote about her African American grandmother in South Carolina; her mother died in her arms while working in the fields. She'd never told the grandkids about her searing memories. And then I realized: they had written nearly the same poem.

A death in the neighborhood
Saturday I talked to my neighbor as her older dog, Buddy, made her anxious interacting with Lilith (as usual). A smallish brown dog with black snout, Buddy had had a tooth out, and that was after he had eye surgery. Buddy was costing her some money. But Buddy's eyes looked better, far less bloodshot, and he didn't seem to be in distress over the missing tooth. My neighbor had her wide-brimmed tan hat on, but didn't answer directly when I asked how she was. On Sunday, she died.
The things we leave behind. This was Charlene's car, she who died on Sunday. Months ago I heard someone honking relentlessly, but not in the way a car alarm cries with utter regularity. I went out and found Charlene in her car laying on her horn. Seems someone had taken her parking space; she thought that honking would draw the perpetrator out of one of the many townhouses around the parking lot. I assured her it wouldn't work. When I glanced in the car just now, I saw an orange and white squirt gun in one of the drink holders. That must have been for Buddy, whose civility she perpetually tried to govern.
Reality stories
Outside class, a student is locked into her device; I say hello. "I'm having an argument," she tells me, and returns with busy thumbs to her device. Outside that same class a couple weeks ago, I asked a desperate young man who was dropping the class, if he wanted me to walk him to Counseling. Another student is doing better on meds; early in the semester he told me he has no interest in school. His pallor was a symptom. He said no. Outside that same class, a young woman tells me she's missing classes because her father is trying to detox at home, but binges every few days. Inside that class, a student bursts into tears because her dialogue essay wasn't funny. Another young woman (out of state) has a mother with pancreatic cancer who wants her to stay in school. Her neighbor in class, also out of stater, lost a friend to suicide; her father keeps threatening it. Inside my other class, a young woman has her head down on the table. She looks up, says things are not going well. I ask if I can help, and she doesn't answer, putting her head back down on the table. In that same class a student is just now coming to class after suffering terrible PTSD and finding no one at the Counseling Center, which has a long wait list. In that class another student writes to me about his meds and tells me he can't pay his rent and has to move. I've not seen him in a long while. In that same class a student has a mysterious ailment that means he has to have constant blood tests; it's probably an auto-immune disorder. He participates avidly, when he's not shrieking in a high pitched cough. In that class, a student burst into tears telling me that she'd had to take on extra hours at work (during my class) because she had to cover rent for roommates who weren't paying. In that class I have a student who now comes to class but who has done none of the work; when I advised her to drop, she said she needed the humanities requirement and did not. I have 30 students total this semester.
