A Phoenix business group wants to attract California companies to Arizona’s business friendly climate. The group is offering California executives big incentives
The Greater Phoenix Economic Council says it will provide CEOs free airfare and accommodations to check out Arizona.
The group sites the tax increase from Proposition 30, the cap and trade program and cost of living in California as reasons companies should relocate or expand in Arizona.
Barry Broome, President of the Council, says they've had several California CEOs already express interest.
BROOME: "Our goal is get a dialogue with the CEO, bring the CEO into the Greater Phoenix market, and show them the value proposition of our market. And the conversation is going to start with the cost of doing business and tax policy."
Broome says they originally were making the offer to the first 50 interested executives, but they're expanded the offer to the first 100.
Broome says he's heard from CEOs who are beginning to question the value of operating in California.
The California Chamber of Commerce did not respond to the issue.

Alessia Cara - Scars To Your Beautiful Lyrics:
She just wants to be beautiful
She goes unnoticed, she knows no limits
She craves attention, she praises an image
She prays to be sculpted by the sculptor
Oh, she don't see the light that's shining
Deeper than the eyes can find it
Maybe we have made her blind
So she tries to cover up her pain and cut her woes away
Cause covergirls don't cry after their face is made
But there's a hope that's waiting for you in the dark
You should know you're beautiful just the way you are
And you don't have to change a thing
The world could change its heart
No scars to your beautiful, we're stars and we're beautiful
She has dreams to be an envy, so she's starving
You know, covergirls eat nothing
She says "beauty is pain and there's beauty in everything"
"What's a little bit of hunger?"
"I could go a little while longer," she fades away
She don't see her perfect, she don't understand she's worth it
Or that beauty goes deeper than the surface
So to all the girls that's hurting
Let me be your mirror, help you see a little bit clearer
The light that shines within
There's a hope that's waiting for you in the dark
No better you than the you that you are
No better life than the life we're living
No better time for your shine, you're a star
Oh, you're beautiful, oh, you're beautiful
And there's a hope that's waiting for you in the dark

Countertrend: H-P Says Please Print Often
September 29, 2009 at 4:18 pm PT
See More Reviews »
If your company makes printers but general trends are leaning toward using less paper and moving digital content to e-readers and smartphones, what can you do? Hewlett-Packard’s solution is to find new ways to get people to print more.
The $399 H-P Photosmart Premium All-in-One with Touch-Smart Web (hp.com/go/touchprinting) will print, copy, fax and scan like other all-in-ones. But it connects to the Internet using built-in Wi-Fi and displays customized Web applications on its 4.33-inch touch screen. These apps are designed to promote printing in any way possible, including photos from Snapfish, Sudoku puzzles, movie tickets from Fandango, coupons, maps from Google (GOOG) Maps, coloring-book pages and news articles—all without using a computer.
The print apps are part of the new H-P App Studio, H-P’s (HPQ) answer to the flurry of app stores—Apple’s (AAPL) App Store, RIM’s (RIMM) BlackBerry World, Android Marketplace, Palm’s (PALM) App Catalog and Microsoft’s (MSFT) Zune Marketplace—that ease the process of downloading onto mobile devices. A “Get More” icon on the printer’s touch screen presents descriptions of available apps. There are currently 15 available for download onto your printer, and more will be added in coming months.
The Photosmart All-in-One connects to Web apps that promote printing of everything from photos to tickets.
This printer is designed to work with more than just the H-P App Studio. A downloadable tool called the H-P Photo Print Gadget installs on computers running Windows 7 or Vista (not Windows XP) so people can drag and drop photos to it for printing. PlayStation 3 owners can capture and print screen shots as evidence of their game success. And a long-available free app in Apple’s App Store called H-P iPrint Photo lets iPhone and iPod Touch owners send photos to this and other H-P printers.
The goal of this product is obviously to get people to print more, and in my case, it worked. I used more paper in a week of testing the Photosmart Premium All-in-One than I normally print out in three weeks at my office. The printer quickly churned out dual-sided pages with photos in rich colors.
But the concept of adding apps to a printer while also asking people to become more paper-reliant seems like one step forward, two steps back. I could see this concept working on a thin, stylish printer that could fit neatly on an entryway table, making it a cinch for people to grab maps, movie tickets and coupons on their way out the door. But this is a large, all-in-one machine that takes up some serious space.
And if this all-in-one is truly meant to work without a PC, it should do a better job of letting you interact with pages, like zooming in on a document to preview before printing. In the current document preview screen, the text is too small to read. Likewise, the Google Calendar app printed a nice one-page calendar month view, but I couldn’t zoom in on the print preview to see specific appointments. This forced me to print the page to see its contents, using more ink and more paper.
Other apps are shamelessly begging users to press Print. A Toys and Crafts app made by H-P itself includes paper dolls with cut-out clothes that can be snipped and folded to stay on the doll’s form. For the doll’s face, kids are encouraged to use a photo of themselves that–surprise, surprise—they can print using their all-in-one.
Coupons.com supplies two apps—one for coupons and one for recipes. I browsed through 87 product coupons in my ZIP Code and marked those that I wanted to print using a small check-box on the touch screen. Pressing “Print” compiled three coupons on one piece of paper. Recipes from Coupons.com printed with brightly colored photos of the end result; I’m looking forward to following one for Curried Chicken Salad.
For now, the Google Maps app isn’t ready for prime time: It prints only maps, not directions. H-P says it’s planning to add directions but wouldn’t say when. And a Nickelodeon app couldn’t load on my printer. Some apps took from 10 to 30 seconds to load—precious time when you’re running out the door.
One of the smartest apps, Tabbloid, lets people assemble a personalized tabloid-style print-out of news from a variety of sources like Daily Kos for politics and FanHouse for sports. But this assembling must be done on a computer, thus negating this printer’s no-PC approach. I chose from a list of 10 topics including automotive, celebrity, politics and sports and created a printable Tabbloid that, with one click, was sent wirelessly to the corresponding app on my printer. I printed it out to read during my commute.
I liked using the Photosmart Premium All-in-One’s generous screen for touch gestures like flicking left-to-right through a carousel of icons that represent apps. An on-screen keyboard appeared when I had to type in passwords for things like my Snapfish account.
H-P says it will introduce other products with TouchSmart Web capability and access to the HP App Studio, and one hopes these products will include low-end printers rather than expensive all-in-ones. The apps on the H-P Photosmart Premium All-in-One with TouchSmart Web are user-friendly, but I’m not convinced they’ll incite people to print more things more often.

Nigeria: Senate: Ben Bruce Faces Disqualification Over Dual Citizenship
Published: 24/Mar/2015
Source: PM News (Abuja)
By Henry Ojelu
A former Attorney General of Bayelsa state, Chief Anthony George – Ikoli SAN has filed a suit before a Federal High Court sitting in Abuja challenging the eligibility of the Chairman of Silver Group, Ben Bruce in contesting the Bayelsa East Senatorial District election.
Chief George -Okoli is asking the court to disqualify Ben Bruce from contesting the election on the ground of his dual citizenship.
Bayelsa East Senatorial district comprises of three local governments namely Brass, Nembe, and Ogbia Local governments. Four people contested for the senatorial slot; they are Bruce, George-Ikoli, Madam Irene Digitemi and Mr Nelson Belief. The leadership of the PDP at the state had allegedly prevailed upon other candidates to step down for Bruce on account of his closeness to President Goodluck Jonathan.
The originating summons filed before the court by Chief George-Ikoli seeks the court to determine the following issues:
Whether having regard to the combined provisions of Sections 66(1)(a) and 28(1) of the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as amended), an aspirant for the elective office of the Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, who whilst voluntarily acquiring the citizenship of another country (that is the United States of America) and in the process of which he (the aspirant) declares on oath, the absolute and entire renunciation of citizenship of and allegiance and fidelity to Nigeria can without more be eligible and seek election to the office of Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria;

Tribal Network (TN) is primarily a network of 6 grass root organizations and more than 6000 tribal communities on the border areas of Pakistan and Afghanistan. The Tribal Network member organizations having geographical representation in Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA), Frontier Regions (FRs), Balochistan, and Afghanistan formulated this network during 2005. The core objective of TN was to build up a broad based tribal civil society coalition on both sides of the Durand Line and collectively work on the capacity building of local tribes for their lead role in peace building and integrated development activities in the conflict affected tribal border region. TN over the last seven years undertook numerous research, training, and advocacy activities on the need of the larger role of local tribes in the resolution of prevailing multifarious conflicts in the region and advocated for the acceleration of political, social, administrative reforms and development of participatory integrated development system in the entire tribal region.
TN member organizations include Community Mobilization and Development Organization (CMDO) Peshawar, Society Reformers Organization (SRO) Parachinar, Waziristan Development Organization (WDO) Tank, The Coordination of Afghan Relief (COAR) Kabul, Social Aid Quetta, and Center for Research and Dialogue (CRD) Islamabad. CRD (previously known as Center for Research Communication and Dialogue) was the coordinating organization of TN from 2005 to 2010 and presently CMDO is the coordinating organization of the Tribal Network.
A world, free of poverty, where everyone enjoys fundamental rights to lead a life of dignity and honor without discrimination on the basis of creed, race, ethnicity, language, gender and nationality.

Codex Eyckensis
The Codex Eyckensis, an eighth-century Gospel Book, was probably written in the scriptorium of the Abbey of Echternach, Luxembourg. It is the oldest preserved “book” produced in the Low Countries, the wider area of which encompasses contemporary Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg, and is an exceptional testimonial to the status of the written word. www.codexeyckensis.be
Codex Eyckensis online
Unique glimpse behind the scenes
Unique glimpse behind the scenes in the research laboratory at the Royal Institute for Cultural Heritage (KIK-IRPA, Brussels)
by Marina van Bos, Maaike Vandorpe and Line Raiff.
The Flemish museum consultant Anne Milkers had the opportunity to have look behind the scenes at the pigment investigation of the Codex Eyckensis. She was guided by Maaike Vandorpe, technical expert at the laboratory of papers, leathers and parchments of the KIK-IRPA.
Although the Codex Eyckensis is currently being investigated at the Book Heritage Lab of the KU Leuven, Dr. Marina van Bos and Maaike Vandorpe have already started with the first analyses in their KIK-IRPA lab in Brussels.
Twenty five years ago, prof. Lieve Watteeuw removed the various layers of plastic foil from the parchment. The foil has been carefully kept at the KIK-IRPA ever since. The plastic sheets were used in a comparative study to the parchment folios (as shown in the picture). The plastics clearly show pigment residue left from the original parchment folios. This is a blessing in disguise! The pigments and inks on the plastic foil can now be analyzed with the µRaman spectroscopy (see photograph).
This analysis is non-destructive, because it does not require to take a sample of the pigments. The plastic foil will be placed directly under the laser. It is possible to detect red and yellow earth pigments, minium lead (red) and orpiment (yellow). At a later stage, complementary but destructive analyses of the pigment residues left on the plastic sheets can give more information on the possible use of organic colors.
In 2017 the old manuscript will be transported to the lab of the KIK-IRPA in Brussels. Here, further investigation with the µRaman spectroscopy and the newest non-destructive analysis by macro XRF mapping, will characterize the pigments and the inks.

This design comes from 'The Brogden Album', the album contained 1,593 designs for jewellery and goldsmith's work, mainly in colour and dating between 1848 and 1884. It is a unique record of the years in which John Brogden, an internationally celebrated 'art goldsmith and jeweller worked first in partnership and then as owner-director of his own firm. This was a period of great diversity in fashionable jewellery, and the Brogden firm where noted for their skill in designing and creating a range of styles.
The firm was founded by John Brogden the elder in about 1796. From about 1824 to 1831 it was styled 'Brogden and Garland' and thereafter until 1841 'Garland and Watherston'. The younger Brogden, the son of Thomas Brogden and presumably a relative of the founder, served an apprenticeship to J.W. garland as a goldsmith and jeweller from 1834 to 1841. Following Garland's departure, the remaining partner, J.H. Watherston, removed the firm to new premises at 16 Henrietta Street, Covent Garden and in 1848 joined forces with the younger Brogden.

Scream: Curse of Carnage #6
Writer: Clay McLeod Chapman
Artist: Chris Mooneyham
Inks: Le Beau Underwood
Colours: Rain Beredo
Letters: VC’s Cory Petit
Scream #6 begins a brand new story arc; Suffer The Children. What better way to do it than with an oversized issue guest starring, as the cover reveals, The Punisher and Sandman? Clay McLeod Chapman introduces us to a couple of new villains who are insidious enough to have caught the eye of not only Scream, but also The Punisher and Sandman.
As any comic veteran will tell you any storylines involving multiple heroes can’t have them working together, no, at first we need to have a fight between them all. Sometimes these confrontations can feel a little forced and contrived, just to do that little bit of fan service between who would win out of Superhero X and Y. Chapman manages to give each character a slightly different set of priorities which conflict just enough to bring our heroes to blows. It’s well done, although the only thing that doesn’t quite gel is that all three heroes choose the exact same moment to go after the villain, but it’s a small gripe which can be overlooked. The only other slight complaint is that Chapman doesn’t quite get the essence of The Punisher right. He’s not a million miles away, but doesn’t quite capture the magic which makes Castle such an interesting character. He feels a little bit one dimensional here.
Moving past that Chapman manages to build up suspense really well, beginning the issue by introducing us to a homeless kid, with a series of textless panels. It’s a great piece of storytelling that tells us more than a dozen lines of dialogue would and helps set the pace. And when things appear to be getting better for this poor child the reader is aware that all is not as it seems and the danger they’re in. It builds the tension fantastically and sets the stage for the rest of the issue.
Having F.E.A.S.T. as the background for the series has been a nice touch, making Aunt May a regular feature and helping to firmly place Scream within the Marvel universe. A new character introduced there looks to be important to the series going forward. And the conclusion of this issue introduces another thread which connects back to the Absolute Carnage event, making the Curse of Carnage part of the title feel relevant again.
Chris Mooneyham’s art has been outstanding throughout the series, and this issue is no exception. Having worked with Chapman for the first five issues they’ve now reached a point where Mooneyham’s art is as integral for telling the story as Chapmans writing, the first page is virtually textless and does a fantastic job of introducing the poor homeless kid who begins our story for us. In previous issues it’s been Mooneyhams monsters which have really stood out, but without any real monsters beyond Scream his art is still fantastic and one of the highlights of the series.
Then we have Rain Beredo’s colours. No stranger to colouring symbiotes he does an excellent job whenever Scream is on the page, but for the rest of the issue his duller and more muted colours bring to life the seedier side of the Marvel universe which we don’t get to see as often. It’s a great match for Mooneyhams art.
A great setup for the next big Scream storyarc, it promises great things to come. New villains for Scream to face, new characters for her to befriend, the police slowly circling closer to learning Andi’s alterego, Chapman has plenty of plates spinning with lots to look forward to. The inclusion of The Punisher and Sandman works pretty well overall and the oversized issue makes great use of the extra pages it has to pace the story well. Chris Mooneyhams art remains a highlight of this exciting horror series.

How a Fireworks Magician Tames Dynamite
Flaming dynamite and exploding mortars are the chief tools of the fireworks expert. In this vivid, intimate story one of the aces of the fireworks army takes you behind the scenes to reveal, for the first time, the thrills and dangers of his roaring trade.
MILLIONS of Americans thrill yearly to the glittering wheels, flaming rockets and spectacular bombs of the giant fireworks displays; but the men who fire them are the men nobody knows—the world’s most mysterious showmen.
How does it feel to walk among the flaming sets and exploding mortars during a big display? What are the real dangers of this roaring trade? What is the strange, unexplainable lure of a profession that requires toying with tons of explosives to give the crowds a flaming thrill?
Art Briese, for nineteen years an expert pyrotechnician for Thearle-Duffield, recently revealed the mysteries of his calling to an investigator for Modern Mechanix and Inventions. Briese has personally blown millions of dollars worth of fireworks into blazing ruins; he’s touched off enough powder and dynamite to blow Pike’s Peak into fragments; and he’s come through his exacting job with injuries no more serious than scorched hands and a current enthusiasm for his work that’s as keen as the day he-got his first stick of dynamite to bore.
“One of the important things to keep in mind about fireworks,” said Briese, “is the difference between display work and the over-the-counter business—that is, the sale of firecrackers, pin wheels, rockets and the – like to the consumer. Accidents are far less frequent in display work because trained men do the firing.
“The noise-makers are the most dangerous pieces. In fact, a stick of dynamite is about the most hazardous unit we employ.
Of course, when this is handled properly, it’s safe.
“We don’t use much dynamite in the average show. At the Century of Progress, for instance, it is forbidden because the shock would be harmful to fish in the Shedd Aquarium. In shows where dynamite is used the sticks are fired electrically. They are suspended a few feet above the ground and carefully isolated to prevent damage. These shots and the big bombs we call ‘ballyhoo.’ The bombs are fired from mortars, steel cylinders buried up to their necks in the ground. Workers are protected by a barricade consisting of a 12” x 12″‘ timber or a telephone pole to prevent danger in case a bomb is detonated in the mortar. The firing fuse lies out over the barricade where it can be ignited easily without getting too near the mortar. This fuse ignites a charge of powder at the base of the bomb, literally pushing it into the air. The explosion comes when a time fuse, already ignited, reaches the powder charge.
Guarding Against Accidents
“The worst accidents in the fireworks business occur at the factories but they are rare now. Only small quantities of material are Handled at a time and most of the work is done in isolated sheds, spotted over a . wide area. These sheds are of flimsy construction. If an explosion does occur, the walls and roof give way, reducing the shock to any persons inside. The big display sets with all their sparks and fire may look hazardous but they are not as dangerous as the simple sticks of dynamite and the bombs. A big display may contain a ton of material but only 300 or 400 pounds of this may be explosive powder. Chemicals make up the balance of the material; and whereas they’ll burn, of course, they won’t explode violently.
How Displays Are Fired
“Shooters wear no special safety equipment, not even goggles.. The firing is done with a ‘port fire’ a five-foot flare made of two rocket sticks spliced together. It burns about five minutes and gives plenty of brilliant light so the operator can see the ‘match,’ or fuse, where the piece is set off. Sometimes part of the set doesn’t go off because of a broken connection. We keep watch for this and reach up with a port fire and start it going. Any part of the set can be fired as long as the fuse can be reached. This burns rapidly. In a few seconds, it ignites the entire piece, firing the little fire pots or lances that are attached to the rattan backing with which the designs are traced on the set.
“Big pieces are made up of wooden frames or sections. The rattan design is placed on at the factory and the frames with the necessary lances are shipped to the scene. The operator’s job is to assemble the sections, join the fuses together, or ‘cut them in,’ as we say, and, of course, fire the set when the proper time comes.
“A big piece like the ‘Chicago Fire’ made for the Century of Progress contains 500 frames, is 700 feet long and from 20 to 65 feet high. The popular ‘Bombardment of Ft. McHenry’ set takes 1,200 feet of fast-burning fuse, 2,880 color pots or lances, 80 pounds of chemicals and powder, 1,200 feet of pliable rattan and over 1,000 square feet of frames.
“Thrills?” Briese smiled. “What gives the crowd a thrill is pretty much routine to us. The shooters can’t really see the fireworks with their faces right up against ‘cm but there’s a lot of satisfaction in getting a good show together, licking all the problems that come up and then having people say it was swell. We get the news even if we don’t come down to the footlights!
“Want to know what we’re most afraid of? Bain! A few little innocent raindrops trickling out of a cloud will scare a ‘shooter’ more than a whole carload of bombs. Bain may mean a big loss of fireworks, and an expensive delay. We frequently carry rain insurance to protect us against these losses.
“Getting helpers on the job is one of the big problems but we have solved it pretty well by always having an expert to take charge.
“There are only about 200 really professional fireworks shooters in the United States. Sometimes the green helper is more bother than he’s worth. Down in Birmingham, Ala., one year, I got two negroes to help me set up a show and hired them to stay for the shooting. Night came and the hour for the firework*. I touched off the first piece, a set of fast-burning, spark-shooting pinwheels. My trusty aids got into the spirit of the thing immediately. The last I saw of them, they were vanishing into the night at top speed.
A Fireworks Flight With Ruth Law
“Things are always happening to break the routine and that’s an additional reason why the work is interesting. I was on a job at Avoca, Iowa, in 1917. I had been in the business just three years. I felt I knew a lot but I got a new idea on this angle and found there was lots to learn. Ruth Law, the famous aviatrix, was there, giving a flying exhibition. She decided to make a night flight with fireworks flaring from her plane, the first time she had attempted such a stunt.
“I attached the fireworks to the wings of her plane, one of those old-type pushers with the engine behind and the seat out in front. The pieces were to be fired by electric squibs connected in series to the plane’s magneto.
‘Want to go along?’ she called to me. ‘I may need some help firing this stuff.’
“I looked at the plane. There didn’t seem to be much accommodation for passengers.
“‘Just hop on the wing there and you’ll be all right,’ said Ruth. She was getting impatient. The old engine was chugging away behind and the crowds were waiting.
“I doubt if I would do it today, but I hopped on as fast as I could, tickled to go up with Ruth. I straddled all the wires and other supports I could drape myself around, dug my fingernails into a strut and away we went, into the black night with the lights of Avoca and its fair falling away below us.
The Dangers of Flying Fireworks “I didn’t have any time to think about the flight. .The fireworks kept me busy. We fired ’em all right but I was worried about the flares. Would they fire all right or would they set the wings ablaze? I had all the confidence in the world in Ruth’s flying ability, but I didn’t know whether or not the fireworks would bother her. The glare and extra wing weight might prove disturbing.
“Everything went splendidly, however. In fifteen of the most absorbing minutes I have ever spent, we were back on the field and the crowd was giving Ruth a big hand. And she deserved it. The stunt sounds rather tame now. Fireworks from a plane are an old story and we know a lot more about attaching them and firing them properly. But these were early days in aviation and flying fireworks were a distinct novelty. Ruth Law proved that night as she did many times before and since that she was a real sportswoman and not afraid of anything.”

Thailand Holds Policy Rate at 1.5%
The Bank of Thailand voted by five to two to maintain the policy rate at 1.5 percent on September 19th 2018, as widely expected. The Committee said that the current monetary policy stance continued to support economic growth and should support the increase of inflation rate toward its target. Annual inflation rate increased to 1.6 percent in August from 1.5 percent in July. Still, two members voted to raise the policy rate by 25bps to 1.75 percent.

Statement by the Bank of Thailand:
The Thai economy as a whole continued to gain traction, driven by merchandise exports and tourism which continued to improve in tandem with global economic growth, and by continued momentum from domestic demand. Growth in merchandise exports was expected to slow down somewhat due to trade protectionism measures between the US and China but would be partially offset by benefits from the relocation of production base to Thailand for some industries. Private consumption was expected to continue to achieve higher growth supported by improvements in income and employment, but overall purchasing power was recovering gradually due to elevated household debt. Public expenditure would grow at a lower rate than previously assessed due to constrained budget disbursement. Furthermore, the Thai economy would be subject to downside risks and uncertainties regarding US foreign trade policies that could be additionally announced, retaliatory measures from trading partners of the US, as well as geopolitical risks.
The annual average of headline inflation was expected to rise slowly in line with the previous assessment. However, downside risks remained as fresh food prices could fluctuate sharply depending on weather conditions and agricultural output. Core inflation was projected to edge up at a somewhat lower rate than previously assessed given the gradual build-up of demandpull inflationary pressures. The Committee viewed that, despite full potential economic growth, structural changes might contribute to more persistent inflation than in the past. Such changes included the expansion of e-commerce, rising price competition, and upgrades to production efficiency which reduced costs of production. Meanwhile, the public’s inflation expectations were largely unchanged.
Overall financial conditions remained accommodative and conducive to economic growth with ample liquidity in the financial system. Overall government bond yields increased slightly, while real interest rates remained low. Such conditions allowed financing by the private sector to continue expanding as reflected in higher growth in both business and consumer loans. With regard to exchange rates, the baht appreciated against regional currencies since the last meeting due to concerns over external stability in emerging market economies. Looking ahead, the baht would likely remain volatile and thus the Committee would continue to closely monitor exchange rate developments as well as impacts on the economy.
Financial stability remained sound but there was still a need to monitor risks that might pose vulnerabilities to financial stability in the future, especially the search-for-yield behavior in the prolonged low interest rate environment that might lead to underpricing of risks. The Committee was concerned aboutcompetition in the housing loan market which led to loosercredit standards. In addition, the Committee deemed it necessary to monitor the oversupply of condominiums in certain areas, further accumulation of household debt given that deleveraging had yet to improve, and debt serviceability of SMEs especially those affected by changes in structural factors and business models.
Looking ahead, the Thai economy as a whole was projected to continue to gain traction driven by both external and domestic factors. However, there remained the need to monitor inflation developments and financial stability risks in the period ahead, as well as risks arising from impacts of trade protectionism measures of the US and retaliatory measures by major advanced economies. Hence, the Committee viewed that monetary policy should remain accommodative, although the need for currently accommodative monetary policy would be gradually reduced.
Thailand Holds Rates, Cuts 2021 Growth Outlook
The Bank of Thailand left its key policy rate steady at a record low of 0.5 percent for the 5th straight meeting on December 23rd 2020, as widely expected. Policymakers said the decision aims to preserve the limited policy space and support the economic recovery. The central bank added that the Thai economy continued to recover but downside risks and uncertainties remained high and the economy would thus need support from the continued low policy rate. The central bank also lowered its 2021 growth forecasts to 3.2% from an earlier 3.6%. In contrast, it sees a 6.6% drop in 2020, less than an earlier 7.8% decline.
Thailand Leaves Monetary Policy Unchanged
The Bank of Thailand held its key policy rate unchanged at a record low of 0.5 percent on November 18th 2020, as widely expected. Policymakers said that the current accommodating monetary policy stance would remain appropriate in the period ahead and would continue to support economic growth, financial stability and inflation. The Committee added that they will continue to monitor developments of economic growth, inflation, and financial stability, together with various risks, including domestic political uncertainties, and will stand ready to use additional appropriate monetary policy tools if necessary. The central bank has said it expects the economy to contract by a record 7.8 percent this year. It shrank 6.4 percent in the third quarter from a year earlier, after a 12.1 percent contraction in the second quarter.
Thailand Leaves Rates Steady, Sees Weaker Recession
The Bank of Thailand left its key policy rate unchanged at an all-time low of 0.5 percent on September 23rd 2020, as widely expected. Policymakers upgraded its 2020 GDP outlook and now expect the economy to shrink 7.8 percent this year compared to an 8.1 percent drop earlier estimated. However, the 2021 expansion was revised lower to 3.6 percent from 5 percent. Consumer prices are expected to fall at a slower 0.9 percent in 2020 (vs -1.7 percent in the earlier estimate) and to rise ata faster 1 percent in 2121 (vs 0.9 percent). The central bank also said it remained ready to use appropriate monetary policy tools if necessary and that fiscal policy should play a major role in helping the economy.
The Bank of Thailand left its key policy rate unchanged at a an all-time low of 0.5 percent on August 5th 2020, as widely expected. Policymakers said that the economy would gradually recover in line with the relaxation of the containment measures. The Committee noted that the extra accommodative monetary policy since the beginning of the year as well as the fiscal, financial, and credit measures additionally announced helped to cushion the impact of the coronavirus crisis and would support the economic recovery. Policymakers projected that the headline inflation would remain negative in 2020, to then rise toward the target in 2021. The Committee added that they will continue to monitor developments of economic growth, inflation, and financial stability, together with associated risks, including external risks and the impact of the outbreak and added that would stand ready to use additional appropriate monetary policy tools if necessary.
Thailand Leaves Rate Steady, Sees Bigger GDP Contraction
The Bank of Thailand left its key policy rate unchanged at a record low of 0.5 percent on June 24th 2020, making a pause on the policy tightening trajectory after three rate cuts so far this year. The decision came in line with market expectations. The central bank lowered its 2020 forecasts: the GDP is seen shrinking 8.1 percent compared to a 5.3 percent drop projected in March and the inflation is seen falling to -1.7 percent (-1 percent in March). Policymakers added that the bank is ready to use its appropriate monetary policy tools if necessary.
Thailand Slashes Interest Rate to Record Low
The Bank of Thailand cut its key policy interest rate by 25bps to 0.5 percent on May 20th 2020, matching market forecasts. It is the third rate cut so far this year, bringing borrowing costs to a record low since at least 2000, aiming to help the economy offset the coronavirus impact as the GPP, tourism and domestic demand are seen falling more than initially anticipated. The economy shrank 1.8 percent in Q1 2020, the worst economic downturn since Q4 2011. Policymakers also showed concerns about the baht strength and said they were ready to use its tools as appropriate.
Thailand Unexpectedly Holds Rates
The Bank of Thailand held its policy rate at 0.75 percent during its March meeting, defying market forecasts that suggested a fresh 25bps rate cut as the Convid-19 crisis escalates. Policymakers slashed interest rates by 25bps at an emergency meeting on March 20th, in an attempt to combat the impact of the pandemic on the economic outlook and domestic financial markets. Meanwhile, policymakers expect the Thai economy to shrink 5.3 percent in 2020, which would be the first contraction since the global financial crisis in 2009.
Thailand Unexpectedly Cuts Interest Rate to 1%
The Bank of Thailand unexpectedly lowered its policy rate by 25 bps to 1 percent during its February meeting, bringing the rate to its lowest since the series began in May 2000. Policymakers said that a more accommodative monetary policy stance would alleviate the negative impacts and would continue to support economic growth, financial stability and inflation. The committee said the economy would expand at a slower pace in 2020 than previously forecasted and much further below its potential due to the outbreak of coronavirus, the delay enactment of the Annual Budget Expenditure Act, and drought. Looking ahead, the Committee would monitor developments of economic growth, inflation, and financial stability, together with associated risks, especially the coronavirus outbreak and the delayed enactment of the annual budget.
Thailand Leaves Rates Unchanged, Cuts GDP Forecasts
The Bank of Thailand kept its policy rate at 1.25 percent during its December meeting, as widely expected, after cutting it twice this year to the lowest since 2009. Policymakers said that the current accommodating monetary policy stance would remain appropriate in the period ahead and would continue to support economic growth, financial stability and inflation. For 2019, the central bank lowered its GDP growth forecast to 2.5 percent, from 2.8 percent previously estimated; while exports are expected to slump 3.3 percent, compared to 1 percent decline seen earlier.
Thailand Unexpectedly Cuts Interest Rate to 1.25%
The Bank of Thailand lowered its policy rate by 25 bps to 1.25 percent during its November meeting, bringing the rate to its lowest since 2009, saying that a more accommodative monetary policy stance would contribute to economic growth and support the rise in headline inflation toward target. The bank also announced it will ease rules on outflows in an attempt to curb a stronger currency. Looking ahead, the Committee will continue to closely monitor development of economic growth, inflation, and financial stability, together with risks, especially impacts of trade tensions in deliberating appropriate monetary policy going forward.
The Bank of Thailand left its policy rate unchanged at 1.5 percent on its September 25th 2019 meeting, as widely expected. The move follows a 25bps cut in the previous meeting. Policymakers noted that the annual inflation rate fell to 0.52% in August from 1% in July, amid a slowdown in cost of food, and was projected to be below the lower bound of the target range due to weaker-than-expected energy prices and the global economic slowdown and it is projected to increase toward the target in 2020. The Committee added that the economy is expected to grow at a softer rate than previously assessed due to a fall in exports which affected domestic demand. Policymakers said that they will continue to monitor developments of economic growth, inflation, and financial stability, together with associated risks, namely trade tensions, and will stand ready to use policy tools as appropriate.
The Bank of Thailand slashed its policy rate by 25 bps to 1.50 percent on its August 7th 2019 meeting, for the first time since 2015, surprising markets who expected it to be left steady at 1.75 percent. Policymakers voiced concerns about the strength of the baht and underscored that a more accommodative monetary policy stance would contribute to boost the economy and support the rise of headline inflation toward target. The bank added that will continue to closely monitor developments of economic growth, inflation, and financial stability, together with associated risks, especially impacts of trade tensions.
The Bank of Thailand held its policy rate at 1.75 percent on its June 26th 2019 meeting, as widely expected. Policymakers said that the current accommodating monetary policy stance remains appropriate for economic growth given the inflation target. The Committee slashed its 2019 economic growth outlook to 3.3 percent from a preliminary 3.8 percent while unrevised its inflation forecasts (1 percent for 2019) and projected that exports will be flat. Policymakers added that they will continue to monitor developments on economic growth, inflation, and financial stability, together with associated risks, namely trade tensions.
Thailand Holds Policy Rate at 1.75%
The Bank of Thailand left its policy rate unchanged at 1.75 percent on its May 5th 2019 meeting, as widely expected. Policymakers said that the current accommodating monetary policy stance remains appropriate and would continue to monitor developments of economic growth, inflation, financial stability, and risks associated with it. The Committee noted that the economy is growing at a softer pace than expected and inflation is expected to be around the lower bound of the target range. The annual inflation rate fell slightly to 1.23 percent in April from 1.24 percent in March, amid a slowdown in cost of food and non-alcoholic beverages and housing.
Thailand Leaves Interest Rate Steady as Expected
The Bank of Thailand kept the policy rate at 1.75 percent on March 2019 meeting, as widely expected. The Committee said that the current accommodating monetary policy stance would remain appropriate in the period ahead and would continue to support economic growth, financial stability and inflation. For 2019, the Bank revised its economic growth forecast to 3.8 percent from 4.0 percent while inflation was 1 percent, unchanged from seen three months ago.
The Bank of Thailand kept the policy rate at 1.75 percent on February 6th 2019 meeting, after hiking it by 25 bps on the previous meeting, as widely expected. The Committee said that the current accommodating monetary policy stance would remain appropriate in the period ahead and would continue to support economic growth, financial stability and inflation. Still, two members out of six voted to raise the policy rate by 25 bps to 2 percent.
Thailand Hikes Key Rate for 1st Time in Over 3-1/2 Years
The Bank of Thailand voted by five to two to raise the policy rate by 25 bps to 1.75 percent on December 19th 2018 meeting, as widely expected. It is the first hike in borrowing cost since March 2015, amid a slowdown in exports and tourism. The Committee said that the policy increase would help curb accumulation of vulnerabilities in the financial system in conjunction with the macro-prudential measures already implemented. For 2018, the Bank revised its economic growth forecast to 4.2 percent from 4.4 percent.
The Bank of Thailand voted by four to three to keep the policy rate at 1.5 percent on 14th November 2018, as widely expected. The Committee said that monetary policy should remain accommodative, although the need for accommodative policy would be gradually reduced, despite signs of sluggishness in the economy's two main drivers, exports and tourism.
The Bank of Thailand voted by six to one to maintain the policy rate at 1.5 percent on August 8th, saying that the current monetary policy stance continued to support growth while inflation remained within the 1-4 percent target. Still, one member voted to raise the key rate by 0.25 percentage point to 1.75 percent.

Article written by: Amanda Hunter & Tracey P. Lauriault
The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) recently published a policy response to COVID-19 in which they suggest that open science, and the policies & standards that support it, can accelerate the health, social, and economic responses to the virus as barriers to information access are eliminated.
As the first in a series of blog posts about Open Science (OS) and FAIR principles in Canada, here we highlight the key role open science plays in communicating and disseminating official COVID-19 research and public health data before assessing if official COVID-19 reporting in Canada adheres to OS principles.
In a next post, we will analyze official COVID-19 reporting in Canada to assess whether or not these follow Open Science, FAIR principles, and the Open Data Charter in the sharing of COVID-19 data.
What is Open Science?
The OECD Open Science program states that the benefits of open science is that it promotes a more accurate verification of scientific results, reduces duplication, increases productivity, and promotes trust in science.
Open science (OS) is a movement, a practice and a policy toward transparent, accessible, reliable, trusted and reproducible science. This is achieved by sharing how research and data collection are done so as to make research results accessible and standardized, created once and reused by many. This includes techniques, tools, technologies, and platforms should also be open source wherever possible.
In OS the outputs of the scientific process are considered to be a public good, thus wherever possible articles are published in open access (OA) journals, and research data are shared with the public and other scientists who may want to re-purpose those data in new work, or by people who want to verify the veracity of research results. Reporting COVID-19 Cases by normalizing an open by default approaches means that health scientists, population health experts and government officials make this part of their workflow (maintaining individual privacy of course), and by doing so decision makers beyond government, can scrutinize the results, leading to trust the results while also increasing data sharing.
What role does open science play in combating COVID-19?
In the early stages of the pandemic, knowing the genome provided crucial information to help scientists and researchers identify the origin of the outbreak, treat the infection, develop a diagnostic test and work on the vaccine. In other words, the easier—and quicker—researchers can produce, share and access scientific data, the quicker and the more informed is the collaborative response to the virus.
During the 2002-03 SARS outbreak it took five months to publish a full genome of the virus largely due to information blackouts and lack of data sharing. In contrast, the full genome of COVID-19 was published to an open-access platform nearly a month after the first patient was admitted to the hospital in Wuhan. This provided researchers around the world with a head start. Since OS policies have been operationalized during the pandemic, the resulting free flow of ideas in terms of biomedical research has accelerated (OECD).
The implementation of OS standards during COVID-19 has indeed been largely successful. OECD described how collaborative research and thee global sharing of information reached unprecedented levels, for example:
In March 2020, 12 countries (including Canada) launched the Public Health Emergency COVID-19 Initiative at the level of Chief Science advisors, calling for open access to publications and machine-readable access to data related to COVID-19.
Open online platform Vivli offers an easy way to request anonymized data from clinical trials.
A COVID-19 Open Research Dataset [CORD-19] was developed that hosts 157,000 + scholarly articles about COVID-19 and related coronaviruses; 75,000 of which are full-text machine-readable data that can be used for AI and natural language processing.
These online, open-source platforms have supported rapid scientific COVID-19 research. OS, facilitated by standards, shared infrastructure and techniques, policies and licences, has been instrumental in the global fight against the pandemic.
Yet, despite the numerous successes, many challenges remain. For example, not all COVID-19 related health research and data adhere to the FAIR principles. FAIR principles are a standards approach which support the application of open science by making data Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable. Failure to adhere to FAIR principles has led to an overall lack of communication and coordination during the pandemic. In Canada, data should also adhere to CARE principles, which address issues of Indigenous data governance with respect to Indigenous knowledge along with the OCAP Principles of the First Nation Information Governance Centre (FNIGC). More on this in the following section.
The reporting COVID-19 demographic data and reports in Canada to date falls short on standardized classifications in terms of demographics, as we discussed in an earlier blog post, which makes doing a comparative analysis difficult or impossible: for example, many countries define “recoveries” differently, and in Canada, since health is the jurisdictional responsibility of the provinces and territories, each report in their own way. Even though numerous official organizations publish COVID-19 and health related data, as open data databases or in open data portals, there remains an overall lack of interoperability, comparability and standards.
Where does Canada stand on Open Science?
Canada was implementing an open science framework before the pandemic as follows.
National Action Plan on Open Government
The Government of Canada recently published Canada’s 2018-2020 National Action Plan on Open Government, listing ten commitments to furthering the open government initiative. The plan asserts five commitments to implementing OS in Canada by the end of 2020, as seen below:
The OS portion of Canada’s 2018-2020 National Action Plan on Open Government. It aims to address the difficulty for Canadians to access scientific research: thus the commitments on making federal science, scientific data, and scientists themselves more accessible (Government of Canada, 2018).
The Action Plan addresses issues of accessibility and transparency of scientific research and outlines 5 commitments to amending these issues. These commitments include:
Development of an OS roadmap,
Providing an open access platform for publications,
Raising awareness of federal scientists’ work,
Promoting OS and soliciting feedback on stakeholder needs, and
Measuring progress & benefits of the OS implementation.
Despite the comprehensiveness of the Roadmap (see below), Canada has not yet moved past the Action Plan’s second commitment—to provide a platform for Canadians to find and access open access (OA) publications from federal scientists—despite the projected March 2020 deadline. Also, at the time of writing, there is no federal open science platform or portal for users to access open science data in Canada even though there is an open data portal. The New Digital Research Infrastructure Organization (NDRIO) does show promise.
There are however some open data initiatives, such as the Federal Open Government and COVID-19 section on the Open Government Canada Portal. Here Epidemiological and economic research data, with mathematical modeling reports, a map of cases and deaths by province, daily and weekly detailed epidemiological reports, and an ongoing dataset of COVID-19 cases, deaths, recoveries, and testing rates in Canada’s provinces and territories are made available. This is a significant improvement from the early days of reporting, as data journalist Kenyon Wallace discovered that on a daily basis, the Province of Ontario published new data but each time they did they overrode the previous day’s reports. His article and some work by Lauriault with the Ontario Open Government team resulted in changing that practice and raw data are now updated daily and reported. Open data is but one part of the OS process as we will see when we look at the FAIR principles.
Open Science Roadmap
The plan’s first commitment, to “develop a Canada Open Science Roadmap…” was completed and published in February 2020. The document provides ten recommendations made by Chief Science Advisor, Dr. Mona Nemer, to advance Canada’s OS initiatives. Like the policy brief by OECD, the roadmap is driven by the importance of trust among collaborators, inclusiveness of varying perspectives, and transparent processes throughout.
Canada’s Roadmap for Open Science (Government of Canada, 2020)
Most importantly, the Roadmap describes a commitment to developing an OS framework, including adopting the FAIR principles and “open by design and by default” specifications. The roadmap asserts Canada’s commitment to upholding these standards and policies via 10 recommendations:
10 recommendations in the Roadmap for Open Science. Key points include the adoption of an OS framework, making federal scientific research outputs ‘open by default’, and implementing FAIR principles (Government of Canada, 2020).
Model Science Integrity Policy
Canada also has a Model Science Integrity Policy (MSIP) for the public service. The MSIP represents an internal commitment to integrity and accountability in science. Various mandates in the MSIP state that their purpose is to increase public trust in the credibility and reliability of government research and scientific activities, and ensure that research and scientific information are made available in keeping with the Government of Canada’s Directive on Open Government. The MSIP echoes Canada’s commitment to OS.
Indigenous Data Governance
Finally, Canada has some commitment to supporting Indigenous rights to self-determination and data governance, but does not incorporate standards such as CARE principles which support OS nor the OCAP Principles when it comes to Indigenous data governance. These extend the FAIR principles.
The Global Indigenous Data Alliance (GIDA) introduced the CARE principles to complement the FAIR principles in 2019. The CARE principles for Indigenous data governance were developed to address a lack of engagement between the open science movement and Indigenous rights and interests (GIDA, 2019).
The FAIR principles focus on data accessibility of data and sharing but fail to address power differences and the impact of colonialism experienced by Indigenous peoples and their right to exercise control and ownership of data about them and local and traditional knowledge. The CARE principles are crucial for the recognition and advancement of these rights as they encourage open science (and other ‘open’ movements) to “consider both people and purpose in their advocacy and pursuits” (GIDA, 2019). The CARE principles are contrasted with the FAIR principles in the below image from the GIDA website:
The CARE principles are “collective benefit, authority to control, responsibility, and ethics”, contrasted with the FAIR principles, which are “findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable” (GIDA, 2019)
The OCAP Principles of Ownership, Control, Access and Possession are another set of important principles, that are a better fit in the Canadian Context. Members of our project currently taking the Fundamentals of OCAP course and we hope to better incorporate these approaches in our work and in how we assess official reporting. Though Indigenous data governance and handling of Indigenous knowledge are not addressed in the Open Science Roadmap, the Data Strategy Roadmap for the Federal Public Service does demonstrate a federal approach to supporting Indigenous data strategies (see below):
Recommendation #8 from the Data Strategy Roadmap for the Federal Public Service which states Canada’s recognition of the Indigenous right to self-determination and data governance (Government of Canada, 2019)
Much progress has been made in terms of publishing, reporting and communicating data in the short time since COVID-19 began (though not without pressure from the media!). Open access to scientific research and public health reports have been helpful to facilitate the rapid response to the virus and keeping the public informed on how science informs governments actions. There is, however, much left to be done.
Open Science should consider bias in data as well as invisibilities for example interdisciplinary work that helps paint the fuller picture of the impact of the virus. For example, interdisciplinary and intersectional approaches to data categories, including research based in critical race theory (CRT), Indigenous perspectives, socio-demographics and gig labour groups for example.
Second, as suggested by the OECD, making COVID-19 data Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable is critical for a more effective rapid response. Lack of adherence to FAIR principles currently presents challenges to open science research.
Finally, a meaningful Canadian OS framework should also incorporate standards for Indigenous Data Governance such as CARE Principles and OCAP Principles ensure respectful data practices are followed.
The Tracing COVID-19 Data team is in the process of developing a framework to assess official COVID-19 reporting in Canada to see if they comply with OS, FAIR, CARE, OCAP, and open-by-default at all levels of government. We will draw on Canada’s commitments OS and FAIR in – Canada’s 2018-2020 National Action Plan on Open Government, Open Science Roadmap, the Model Science Integrity Policy and the Open Data Charter.
Is Canada FAIR?
All official Federal, Provincial/Territorial and City public COVID-19 data reporting should be open data, open by design and by default, research should be published in open access (OA) Journals and should adhere to open science (OS) such as the FAIR principles , CARE Principles, OCAP Principles and the Open Data Charter.

If you’ve spent any time watching videos on YouTube, you surely have seen the ads from the Epoch Times, the “news source” of the Falun Gong, a Chinese cult that operates out of a compound in New York state.
Many of the ads feature a handsome, nerdy-looking fella named Roman Balmakov who might otherwise be cast as a Peter Parker-type in a low-rent Spider-Man spin-off, but has instead found himself rising through the ranks of an agitprop news outlet. In the ads he’s asking you to subscribe to the ET to learn about all the “real news” that the evil mainstream media has decided isn’t fit to print.
You know, things like:
· The Chinese Communist Party’s dishonest track record [okay, cool . . .]
· How Americans have lost their appreciation for traditional values [Okay, can see the value in this . . .]
· The fact that Donald Trump is a brilliant leader who is being slandered by the media [record-scratch]
· An inside look at how President Obama spied on Donald Trump in the greatest scandal in history [wait, this is not what I was . . .]
· The shocking investigative report on how Chinese are harvesting the organs of Falun Gong members because their god-leader—who must be referred to exclusively as Master Li—has created exercises that make Falun Gong members’ spleens stronger than any spleens in the entire world [wtf just happened?]
So yeah, maybe when the Epoch Times ads say the publication offers the “real news”—
—they mean it with some artistic license. The way the movie Dodgeball was based on “a true underdog story.”
To say that the Epoch Times coverage of Trump is favorable would be an epochal understatement. In a recent interview with the New York Times, a former Epoch Times reporter said that the paper’s leadership has an “almost messianic view” of Trump. Former practitioners of the Falun Gong cult told NBC that Trump is helping to bring about a “judgment day” that will damn the Communists to hell.
In case you’re keeping score, we now have two different conspiracy-addled groups who each see Trump as ushering in a Götterdämmerung. The QAnons think Trump is breaking the Deep State and using The Storm to round up all the Satanic child pedophiles. The Falun Gong think Trump is destroying the Chicoms.
But funnily enough, even though the QAnons and the Falun Gongs are working from different conspiracy theories, they’re using the same playbook. For instance, this week the ET published an editorial call to invoke the Insurrection Act to force a “military audit” of the election and “arrest those who have conspired to deprive the people of their rights through election fraud.”
Where we go one we go all, I guess?
But here’s the thing: The QAnons aren’t organized enough to have their own house organ, which pretends for all the world to be a normal news outlet.
And the Falun Gongs do.
The Epoch Times has been around for two decades, but only really took off in the American consciousness over the last two years when Master Li issued his dogma about Prophet Trump. At which point—by coincidence—ET was able to go from being a fringe alt-news operation to a major presence on social media.
Last year, the Epoch Times got into a spot of bother with Facebook after it was discovered that they spent more money on pro-Trump advertising on the platform than any group except the Trump campaign itself. Which was kind of weird for a news source, right?
In an effort to avoid further scrutiny, the Epoch Times was then caught trying to go around the transparency rules for advertising by using sockpuppet accounts with super-subtle names such as “Pure American Journalism.” And for this, Facebook banned them.
Yet despite having some of their biggest accounts booted from the platform, they continue to drive big traffic through pages such as Epoch Times Canada and—according to a recent report from the New York Times—other linked pages such as “America Daily,” which has 1.1 million Facebook followers who are delivered content that runs the gamut from cat pics to COVID-19 trutherism.
Fortunately for Master Li, the Epoch Times has had no such problems on YouTube, where its propaganda ads run and run and run and run and run.
According to the Google ads library—which requires transparency around “election”-related ads—Epoch has spent over $2 million on the platform since 2018. You can see the ads that were reported here. They mostly relate to the ET’s breathless promotion of the Durham Report and some direct discussion of the campaign.
But other Epoch Times ads are missing from the archive thanks to a “carve-out” for “news” orgs advertising on YouTube.
Here’s a pre-roll ad that I was served on Monday of this week that doesn’t show up in the Google archive for ads that have run in December (the ad is listed as having run for two days in August). It features Mr. Handsome mansplaining to his sweet, innocent lady friend about how the countries that have been hit the hardest by the pandemic are the ones with the deepest ties to the Communists.
Which, given the infection and death totals in America, and our case fatality rate, probably says something about Donald Trump’s administration that the Epoch Times doesn’t intend. But whatever.
The point is, this ad has been running for the past few weeks, first appeared in May, and it’s not clear that we know how much money they have put behind it. When I asked YouTube about this, a company representative confirmed that all the ads “in the scope of their political ads policies” are in the report and could not “pinpoint” why some ads might not be in the report. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The same goes for this search ad—which lands you on an Epoch Times subscription page featuring hot endorsements from influencers such as Sean Hannity and Larry Elder and highlighting the paper’s work “at the forefront of exposing problems with the FBI’s investigation of the Trump campaign”—but doesn’t appear in the archive:
This has been happening for a while. In November, Mark Bergen of Bloomberg was served an Epoch Times ad that doesn’t show in Google’s political ad library on an “election fraud” video and was told later in the day that the ad was being removed from the video.
But that same screenshot appeared in an ad delivered to a different Twitter user four days later.
The Epoch Times has also taken its ad campaign international. Earlier this week a Canadian Twitter user reported seeing this ad about the aforementioned organ harvest, and in this truly enjoyable fisking of the Falun Gong, Canadian YouTuber J.J. McCullough reported that the Epoch Times is delivering hard copies of the paper unsolicited in Canada and is running ads all over YouTube in the Great White North.
While there isn’t any evidence that the Epoch Times is advertising on claims of voter fraud and election rigging, the “news” site that the ads take you to and the ET‘s main YouTube page are both replete with such claims. Despite promises by YouTube that such videos would be taken down.
So in summary here is what we know:
· A foreign cult that thinks Donald Trump is on a messianic mission has a “news site” that has spent at least $2 million on YouTube ads since 2018, mostly in 2020.
· This “news site” has called for a violent insurrection to keep Trump in power.
· We have evidence that there are additional ads running on top of the $2 million that has been reported, but the extent of this buy is unknown.
· This “news” organization has a history of using sockpuppets to avoid reporting the full extent of their ad spending.
· Anecdata suggests that Epoch Times ads may be running at an unusually high volume as there are myriad complaints of this nature on Twitter and in the comments section of the YouTube videos.
· The group behind the ads has seemingly unlimited resources and was the second-largest pro-Trump advertiser on Facebook before such ads were banned.
· They believe the stakes are a literal apocalyptic battle between good and evil.
Kind of makes you wonder just how much money this “news” organization really poured into the election in order to boost Donald Trump.
The Falun Gong adgasm comes at a time when the big social media platforms are making big shows of their draconian crackdowns on political advertisers in the name of stunting “disinformation” and “fake news.” Political ads are now banned on many social media platforms and YouTube is among the few that are limiting the targeting capabilities of political ads in response to the moral panic.
But in what world does it make sense to throttle the advertising capabilities of a mayoral campaign in Dayton that’s trying to talk to voters about community issues, while allowing a fake news site run by a literal foreign cult that thinks the president is a tiny-fingered prophet ushering in the end times to spend unreported millions on their propaganda?
Because that’s the world that ET has landed on.
And it’s working out damn well for Master Li.
Not so much for the rest of us, though.

Exeter Juniors 1-3 Broadclyst Primary 6th June 2014
Submitted by DrDave on Fri, 06/06/2014 - 12:00am
Having won our other two matches, we went into our last game with league victory assured, and so we ventured a younger team against Broadclyst Primary School, who for so long have been the core of Devon's junior squad.
When Ethan missed the start and Henry out-tricked himself, it looked as though we were going to struggle for any sort of result. Oliver set up a solid fortress while Redmond went fishing for chances against his opponent's King. After Redmond hooked a mate and Oliver's castle was breached, we went home with just one point.
Ethan finally found the venue, and salvaged some honour by defeating the home side's top board in a friendly game.
Games to follow!

At last it has rained and everything in the garden has soaked it up and looks much happier - including the weeds of course. Walking Molly I enjoyed seeing her forging her way through the wet grass and also catching the characteristc smell of the elder flowers. Now is the time to be making cordial.
But if the plants have been parched the bees have been making honey as the sun shone. The beekeepers here have been extracting it as fast as they can and now it is for sale outside the house. I have been tasting it and it it fascinating to try and taste the various blossoms the bees have been on.

One of the questions I often get asked is how certain streets got their names. Sometimes the names are ancient such as Bridgegate or Hailgate in Howden. The gate in these names means street and comes from the Viking word gata. The bridge was a stone bridge probably very near where Marsh End joins Pinfold Street - Bridgegate seems to have extended further than it does today.
Hailgate is from the Viking word halh meaning a nook of land and describes the land enclosed by the giant curve of the Old Derwent alongside which Hailgate runs -it was first mentioned in 1199.
Hailgate, showing how it curves
But it is sometimes not so obvious as Bishopgate was only built in 1834 to link Hailgate and Flatgate and for much of the nineteenth century was just New Street before being named Bishopgate.
And more recently there have been new housing developments and the council has often suggested names to the builders which have a link with the past.
So Shelford Avenue takes its name from William Shelford, the engineer of the Hull and Barnsley railway while the other streets off it are the names of stations and other features on the line. As of course this area was the site of the Hull and Barnsley railway station.

Congregational chapel
Milton Close takes its name from the Milton Rooms which were behind the Congregational chapel which stood nearby and which in turn took their name from the poet John Milton who wrote Paradise Lost. Milton was an early Congregationalist.
now site of St Helen's Mews
The Vinery is a nod to Howden's former grape growing past whilst Langrick, Loftsome and Welham are named for local bridges.
Charles Briggs was a former Hailgate brewer who gave Howden the Ashes and the Shire hall and Carter street takes its name from another prominent brewing family who owned land nearby. Interestingly this is the same family after whom Carter Street in Goole is named.
It is good to see that Howden's history is being preserved in its newer street names - material for lots of school projects -- eventually!!!

Still there was no way I could accept that the words Roger and Luffy shared was "I'm gonna find a crew thats better than yours and find the greatest treasure ever!" We do know that Luffy and Shanks had a ton of off panel time together, what with stories about Usopp and listening to the Red Hairs sing Bink's Sake so it will be nice to see another extended flash back from Luffy.
I was always under the impression that Shanks wasn't talking about any one specific phrase and was referring to Luffy's way of speaking in general.

So Luffy said something else...
Proof please.
The boys are yelling out their ambitions in front of eachother. Ace goes first, then Luffy takes his turn and...
...Oda cuts away ...and cuts back to Ace and Sabo's reaction of confusion and surprise.
What the heck did that boy say.
First thing that we should be on the same page about is this: it wasn’t Ace that started shouting his ambition: it was Sabo. His ambition was to become a pirate, see the world in all its glory, and write a book about it.
Following Sabo’s declaration of his ambition, Ace then proceeds to state his own: to become a pirate, to beat every last person who stands in his way, and to earn himself the glory that dreams are made off.
In both instances, their desire was to become a pirate.
Following Ace’s declaration of ambition, Luffy then proceeds to shout his own. ‘Induction’ suggests that what Luffy shouted was his ambition to become a pirate as well, given the fact that such an ambition was exactly what the two before him did declare.
Also notice how he shouted ‘I’m gonna’. He did it with raised arms. That’s usually the stance that is drawn by the author when Luffy shouts his dream of becoming the Pirate King. And when he does so, he practically always precedes it with his famous opening line ‘I’m gonna’. So these are good reasons to think that what he shouted was his dream of becoming the Pirate King.
Luffy’s brothers then react in great stupefaction at what was said. One of the things that would surely cause such a reaction is his declaration of his dream to become the Pirate King. It was shown to elicit a similar, if not a stronger, reaction from most people. So, it is reasonable to believe such a conclusion, especially with the given arguments I have just provided.
After that, Sabo & Ace begin finding the intention of becoming ‘captain’ a problem to them since all three of them share it. This means that what had been just shared by Luffy was the intention of becoming ‘captain’. Given both this and the past repeated declarations of Luffy to become ‘pirate’, it logically follows that what Luffy desired to become was a ‘pirate captain’. That’s partially what was said there.
At the coliseum of Dressrosa, Barto told Sabo that Luffy is the future ‘Pirate King’, and Sabo said that he has known that since a long time ago. In other words, Luffy told Sabo his dream of becoming the Pirate King sometime in the past, and the time you linked us to provides the perfect setting for such a declaration to be revealed, given both the fact that Luffy hasn’t seen Sabo ever since that time he was supposedly killed & the strong suggestions that what he shouted in that place was his ambition to become a ‘pirate captain’.
There is nothing odd in the author’s omission of Luffy’s words regarding his declaration of his ambition. That is a literary device called ‘ellipsis’. You omit a certain event(s), and let the reader fill out the gap as he or she reads the story. It could be used either to save time or for stylistic reasons. I believe it was the latter.
If he did indeed say something else, it should then be an addition to that, not a substitution for it.
Concerning the argument that what Luffy said here meant becoming Pirate King, that’s not true.
What luffy said there is that he’d be ‘a great pirate’, and he preceded it with ‘I’m gonna be stronger than anybody’.
If being stronger than anybody meant being the Pirate King, then, by this logic, Whitebeard should have ruled the Grand Line as the next Pirate King after Roger, given that he was considered by everyone (including & especially by the author himself) as the ‘Strongest Man in the World’, but he wasn’t a Pirate King, despite reigning supreme in terms of strength.
When Doflamingo was being taken into Impel Down by a naval ship, he said that Whitebeard never took Roger’s throne, but instead ruled in front of it.
This proves that standing supreme in terms of strength does NOT make a person Pirate King. Being the Pirate King means far more than just being stronger than anyone.

Knowing how Oda sometimes omits important information from dialogues or makes characters hold things to themselves, you simply can't discount the possibility that Luffy's lines contained more than his usual PK mantra.
You know, it would be one or two panels more at most.
yeah, that's very true, but the only argument for this situation so far is "It's suspicious." which is okay, but not very solid.
I've asked several times "What could he have said ?". And the only thing that seems bigger than that is what Dragon seems to want and there is no way Sabo would laugh at "I want a world where everyone is free", same for Ace, he just wouldn't act like that.
But what seems legit to ask ourselves is "what did he say to Shanks ? ", since it cannot be "I want to be the pirate king". But whatev, don't get why he wouldn't have tell his crewmates. That's okay for Sabo, Ace and Garp since there weren't involved in the current story.

Didn't you noticed? That was the first time Lufy said it! The first time of all the many, and the first time he got that motivation. It was the origin, and it was special, different from all the rest, and so its presentation was also different and so much more impactful, and just for the fact it wasn't shown, but omitted.
this thread: people trying to make Luffy a complex character while he is just a dumb and naive main shonen character.

For me the "same thing" Shanks is talking about is referring to the scene from chapter 1 ie Luffy wants something like the strongest crew and biggest treasure. After all this is the speech which made Shanks give Roger's hat to Luffy.
POE WUN BGR
This is the same author that hid Sabo's entire existence in plain sight with that third sake cup always being there.
There was no reason for him to cut away simply to hide the phrase "I'm going to be king of the pirates!" It takes zero extra time to say it, and Luffy has said it so much and so often there was no reason to be coy or special about it.
It was absolutely something else.

Like... everything related to his family so far has only been brought up when it actually comes up with Garp or Sabo actually appearing in front of him.

There is NOTHING special about that worth betting the future (and your arm) on that would make Shanks take special notice or be excited about. Especially coming from a naive 8 year old.

Maybe he has some deeper goal, maybe not. I always felt there was still a certain mistery to Luffy's character. It might be lifted when we get to see more of his childhood. Like before he ate the fruit. Mom, anyone?

Obviously someday we're going to get Dragon's flashback and we'll meet her then, but for how much she actually affects Luffy? That's hard to tell.
Just look at all the new depth and background we've almost out of of nowhere started getting about Sanji. He's been an orphan as far as we've known the entire series, and now instead he has a prestigious family and lots of brothers and sisters. He's never brought it up before now, because it wasn't important. But hey, hidden depth!

I agree with those who think that there's more behind these words than simply being PK or something like that. Looking at storytelling structure, every well written
story has to have a big mind-numbing context shifting moment that retrospectively changes absolutely everything (which in OP is heavily foreshadowed to most likely happen at Raftel). I guess whatever Luffy said there will be seen in a completely other light as soon as we finally get that context shift.
Besides, how about we make a sticky topic for these things? Starting with MK's post somewhere in the final villain thread about where he explains his take on the finale. As it's probably one of the best thought-out final theories for OP.
chapter 1 http://www.mangareader.net/one-piece/1/48
not the first time then.
That was actually what I was talking about when I had pointed out this page
http://www.mangareader.net/one-piece/1/23
you know, "where is coming from ? he doesn't live in town ? where is he living ? with who ? alone ? .... "
I'm just gonna quote myself "That's okay for Sabo, Ace and Garp since there weren't involved in the current story."
There is a huge difference between hiding a character and interrupting Luffy's catchphrase for stylistic reasons.
And as I said before, there is absolutely nothing more shocking than Luffy saying he's gonna be pirate king. Maybe Dragon's goal is bigger but there is no way he said he wanted to make a world a better place in which everyone could live freely.

I didn't necessarily mean attachment to her. But if she had any kind of role in his life after giving birth to him, she might have imprinted something on him. An idea or some kind of longing that managed to get stuck in his mind for all these years. Something in that sense.

Juan Soto getting to Gerrit Cole turned the World Series upside down
Author of "The Arm: Inside the Billion-Dollar Mystery of the Most Valuable Commodity in Sports"
HOUSTON -- This being Texas, it was only fitting that Game 1 of the World Series boiled down to a duel. On the pitcher's mound stood Gerrit Cole, who isn't a Texan but sure could pass for one: tall, strong, bearded, long hair, bit of a snarl, fastball that touches 100. His weapon was a baseball. Standing 60 feet, 6 inches away was Juan Soto, the perfect foil, a baby-faced 20-year-old from out east, a charismatic, charming, hip-swiveling boo magnet. His weapon was a bat.
Three times they faced off Tuesday night, and all three distilled baseball in 2019 to its most delectable essence. Power vs. power, brains vs. brains, excellence vs. excellence. Major League Baseball exists for these moments because these moments are of what great World Series are made.
And to see the final score -- Washington Nationals 5, Houston Astros 4 -- was to see a facsimile of Cole vs. Soto: incredibly close, eminently compelling, loads of fun and stoking a burning desire for more, more, more. The Nationals stole home-field advantage from the Astros by doing to Cole what no team had done in five months: hand him a loss. Amid that, Soto did to Cole what it no longer seemed any man could: make him look mortal too.
Inside the Nationals' clubhouse, players, coaches, executives -- everyone really -- was one-upping one another to lavish praise on Soto. How young he is, how poised he is, how everything he is. Nobody described Soto quite like Johnny DiPuglia, the Nationals vice president of international operations.
From the wild-card game through the World Series, we've got it all covered. Complete coverage
"He's a dog that plays checkers," DiPuglia said.
A what?
"You don't see dogs playing checkers," DiPuglia said, and he was right not just that paws aren't nearly dexterous enough to move checkers pieces but that Soto is that rare sort of beast, someone unique. And not unique like, hey, let's call him unique because he is good at something or kind of interesting. No: unique, as in a literal one of a kind.
Soto is bark, bite and double-jumps all in one. He is the only player ever with two seasons of at least 400 at-bats and an on-base percentage of .400 and slugging percentage of .500 before he turned 21. The five others who did it once: Ted Williams, Mel Ott, Jimmie Foxx, Al Kaline, Alex Rodriguez. Hall of Famer, Hall of Famer, Hall of Famer, Hall of Famer, Hall of Fame production.
The first-inning showdown between Cole and Soto, then, was quite the production. Since May 22, Cole had pitched 25 times. In those starts, hitters batted .166, posted a .220 OBP and slugged .300. In other words, over 169⅓ innings, Cole made the average hitter he faced perform like Blake Swihart, who hit .163/.222/.304 this season. Hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of Blake Swiharts.
Juan Soto is no Blake Swihart, though Cole treated him as such in the initial at-bat. First pitch: 97.4 mph, down the middle, up in the zone. Soto swung through it. Next pitch: 98.1 mph, another four-seam fastball, up and on the inside corner. Soto took it. Last pitch: 99.1 mph, paint up and away, at which Soto waved. Three high fastballs, three strikes, see ya next time.
Soto vowed next time would be different. He loves the game and the gamesmanship and everything that goes into the pitcher against the hitter. He harkened back to spring training, where the Nationals and Astros share a complex in West Palm Beach, Florida. He steeled himself for Round 2.
"Most aces are confident in their fastball," Nationals hitting coach Kevin Long said. "They don't run away from it. And he didn't. I give him credit. He challenged him with it."
Cole did. The first pitch was a slider that Soto, whose batting eye is nonpareil, took for a ball. The second was another fastball, up and away again, lacking the petrol of the first but still plenty zippy at 96.4 mph. Soto drove it to left-center field, and it just kept climbing, as though an escalator was escorting it up onto the gaudy train tracks that sit some 50 feet above Minute Maid Park's field. It was an immense home run, measured at 417 feet but so much bigger because Soto's left-handed swing sent it the opposite way, and that tends to be the domain of pull hitters and pull hitters alone.
"Juan," Long said, "answered."
Loudly and clearly. A 2-1 Astros lead was gone, the score now tied. Soto has done that a lot this postseason. He had the seminal bases-loaded hit that helped Washington win the wild-card game. His mammoth home run off Clayton Kershaw helped bury the Los Angeles Dodgers in the division series. And now here he was making Long's pregame prediction that Soto would homer on a high fastball come true.
"He's got kind the 'it' factor, he's got the twitch, he's got no fear," Astros manager AJ Hinch said of Soto. "I think that's really big for a young hitter early in his career to just kind of leave it out there. It looks like he's completely in control of enjoying the moment, and he hit all sorts of different pitches."
Passan: The Astros' denial just made a bad situation worse
What Soto, Nats rocking Cole means for this World Series
'It's a fight, just the pitcher and me': What's behind the Juan Soto Shuffle
That was the third at-bat. The Nationals were ahead 3-2. Soto was up with runners on first and third. Cole threw another first-pitch slider, this one low and inside, and it missed the plate. He then lost two curveballs high and outside, running the count to three balls and no strikes. Cole spun a tight slider low and over the inside third of the plate for a strike and followed with a changeup that fooled Soto. The count was full. Five pitches, zero fastballs.
"That kid can hit fastballs that are 105," Nationals catcher Yan Gomes said. "He can always get a fastball."
For months, teams that scouted Soto sent that same report: Get him with the soft stuff; don't throw him heat, as he will embarrass you if you do. Oh, and don't give him anything up in the zone, either: Only Christian Yelich's slash line against pitches in the upper half of the zone bested Soto's .344/.432/.730.
Cole, who will obsess over pitch sequencing and selection and do so to great effect, didn't go high and didn't go heater. His slider on the outer half of the plate was low, but not low enough for Soto to miss. Soto tattooed the pitch off the left-field wall, and with Anthony Rendon running on the full count, the double scored a pair of runs.
It was, Cole said, a "poor pitch," compared to the home run ball, which he deemed a "tip-your-cap situation." Cole would exit after the seventh inning with Soto having gone 2-for-3 with three RBIs. Soto added another hit off Astros reliever Will Harris in the eighth inning. Already with the home run, Soto had become the second-youngest player to hit one in his first World Series game, and at 20 years, 362 days was only the fourth to hit a World Series home run before his 21st birthday.
Every time he went to the plate, Soto stared at Cole. He wasn't scared. He wasn't intimidated. It was not just part of his shtick where he dances around after pitches he takes as balls; this was part of his routine, his process, the secret sauce to his excellence.
"I've been here working on that since my first day in the big leagues," Soto said. "Sometimes, I just put gum in my mouth and try biting it, but most of the times just take a deep breath and just focus on the picture of me. Everybody around I forget about; it's just you and me. And that's how everything comes down, try to enjoy it."
By the "picture of me," Soto meant the space between him and the pitcher, the 60 feet, 6 inches, and how the rest of the world doesn't exist when he is in that space with a pitcher. Even Cole, who is arguably the finest pitcher on the planet, something about which Soto truly could not care less.
"Maybe," DiPuglia said, "he thinks he's better than the guy who's best in the world."

After Tuesday, who could blame him?
The Cole vs. Soto at-bats accounted for only 11 of the 104 pitches Cole threw. That they were the decisive ones in Soto's first World Series game wasn't altogether surprising. Because this is Juan Soto. And Juan Soto does special things.
Just look, Long said, at what he did earlier this week. In addition to being brilliant at baseball, Soto is exceedingly bright -- he learned English in a year as a teenager after signing with the Nationals in 2015 for $1.5 million -- and unfailingly polite. When they were at a team hotel earlier this week, Long said, his wife was having difficulty with a package. Soto noticed it, went up to her and said: "Are you OK, Mrs. Long?"
Long laughed. Not just at the earnestness but a little bit at how he still used the honorific in front of her name. Long was asked if Soto called him Mr. Long, and the answer was no. But when asked what he calls Soto, Long did not hesitate. It's the perfect name for a kid who turns 21 on Friday, who is scheduled to celebrate his birthday with the first home World Series game in Washington in 86 years and who celebrated his first World Series game by standing 60 feet, 6 inches from arguably the best pitcher in the world and outdueled him.
What does Kevin Long call Juan Soto?
"Mr. Soto," he said.

Sparking Female Entrepreneurship – towards a utopia of empowerment
By Dinushi Galagama Mudalige
The development of a business from the ground up; starting from its basic idea to forming a profitable business out of that idea is ‘Entrepreneurship’. It has been long past since women has been recognized as key drivers of national Economies. In Sri Lanka this refers to the FDI brought out by housekeepers working in Middle East to the export contributors in the garment factories to the tea pluckers and the hundreds of small business owners. Their contribution however is undervalued, especially in Asian nations, which has led to women facing a number of barriers with relation to economic participation and productivity.
As we think Women and business we normally think of Arianna Huffington, Beyonce or closer to home we have Otara, founder of Odel. However Entrepreneurship that we need to look into is more on the scale of small to medium sized businesses. More than half a million small and medium enterprises in Indonesia and over 300,000 in South Korea are headed by women. Since women also tend to reinvest more of their income in their family units than men, it is undoubtedly increasing financial stability along with the increase of GDP per Capita.
The timely increase in discussion on how to get more women engaged in the labor market is mainly based on changing women’s lives to fit into the already existing system as opposed to restructuring the society to engage women better. Thus women today are expected to take on the roles of a businesswoman and a mother simultaneously. This has ultimately resulted in women having to take on multiple roles in order to survive in the harsh capitalistic world thus threatening the mental, physical and emotional well being of the female community. It is due to this status quo that proper investments have to be made and the correct incentives have to be placed to ease the burden on a modern woman and thus step towards gender based entrepreneurship.
So how can we effectively promote female entrepreneurship in the short term?
Foremost, women centered investments should done by working side by side with women instead of ‘for women’. This enables women to easily initiate their entrepreneurship ideas, as they feel more passionate about and also has the capability to maintain their businesses. Use the tool ‘quotas’ to fearlessly advocate the presence of women within corporate businesses and administration.
Women not only disproportionately spend more of their earned income on food, healthcare, home improvement, and schooling, which has a multiplier effect in local communities but research also shows a positive correlation between the number of women on boards and higher corporate profits[i].
Lets now look more in line with training our thought processes. Regardless of gender we have been brought up in an already conditioned society; a society which derives its customs and traditions from a patriarchal society. Thus it is an inherent necessity to cultivate tolerance and resilience amongst women to cope with bias existing in society. Resilience is not an innate ability and thus has to be taught; through workshop programs, mentorships, education or even as a vocational training skill in business internship programs.
Next, people should always assume bias until deemed otherwise. We live in a pre-conditioned society. Thus, no one can deny that unconscious bias will never take place whether it may be in school, workplace or even a restaurant or government institution.
Looking more in the long term however we have even more to reconsider. Let’s start with how we perceive gender. Traditionally, focusing on women induces a fear of appearing ‘too pink’ providing a notion of being backward and weakly founded. However, it is time we seek a new economic image that advocates the market logic of financial returns with the feminist sense of women’s equality simultaneously. The idea is to subtly shift what we value as potential investments.
So how can we transcend to changing our image of valued assets?
Firstly by broadening and deepening access to capital. This can be done by getting women involved as investors and investees, from New York City and its liberal Art Advancements to Bangladesh’s agrarian community developments.
Secondly, it is by reducing inequity found in the workplace. To achieve this there should be a promotion of using investment to value gender diversity in leadership and promote equal rights in a Top down approach by incorporating company value chains.
Thirdly, it is a necessity to create products and services that affect the lives of women and girls; from clean cook stoves in India to education in Middle East to medicines and drugs adjusted solely for women in more developed nations.
Ultimately all the above-mentioned opens a pathway to increase gender based entrepreneurship. However it is not in anyway an easy transition. Practically there is not enough sufficient existing mechanisms to support a transition of this caliber. There is also a lack of data when studying women and thus drawn out trends will not properly fir the society as a whole. Also as of this moment there is a mismatch in skills women seek through education and where true development in a nation occur. For example the lack of female engineers will decrease female participation in construction of infrastructure as well as mechanical and electrical based research advancements.
On a final note however, this transition is necessary and will benefit the global economy. Thus, however slow, the initiation of transitioning on this front should be undertaken.

Home Smartphone Review Sony Xperia X: Success rebellion need not be something better
Sony Xperia X: Success rebellion need not be something better
Lambert June 18, 2016 June 18, 2016 Smartphone Review
In a few days you hit the market the new Sony Xperia X. The family of Xperia Z was for the story behind the model Xperia Z5 last year and this 2016 it touches is to release a new name for the franchise of the Japanese.
In Lab-Soft we have already tested the Sony Xperia X, the intermediate version of a range that has by now with three components. We have analyzed from the renovation design to a camera again aspire to be a reference, and the mystery of the battery, which debuts technology that life is greater. How was the entrance to the Sony Xperia X in the noblest area of the upper-middle range?
Image Source: Google Image
Sony Xperia X: A complicated smartphone to pigeonhole
The Sony smarpthone with letter last name is no longer the franchise company since the Xperia Z5 reaches the Premium version. It is in this terminal price above which put all the technology at their disposal. With the Sony Xperia X occurs the same, because over the Xperia X is at the level of specifications and price the Xperia X Performance.
SONY XPERIA X, TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS
Physical dimensions 143 x 69 x 7.7 mm, 152 grams
Screen IPS X-Reality Triluminos 5 inches
Resolution 1080p (441 dpi)
Processor Snapdragon 650
Memory 32 GB (with microSD slot up to 200 GB)
Version 64 GB with dual SIM and microSD
Software version Android 6.0 with Sony layer
Connectivity LTE Cat 6, ac Wifi, Bluetooth 4.2, NFC
Cameras Principal 23 MP 1 / 2.3 inches (f2.0) 1080p Video
Optical stabilization and predictive hybrid approach
Front 13MP (1/3 inch) with 1080p / f2.0 / 22mm Angle
Battery 2620 mAh (non-removable)
Extras Fingerprint reader
Sound High resolution (LPCM, FLAC, ALAC, DSD)
I have no doubt, and you and I will tell then that by finishing and many factors such as camera or performance, the Xperia X is clearly competing head to head with the best smartphones on the market.
However, in some aspects such as screen resolution, which is in 1080p, battery capacity or choice of processor, the Xperia X is slightly behind, just in a medium-high or premium range which together with its price more than 600 euros, we finda complex mix of clear place to manage without apparent.
The Sony Xperia X comes with different accessories depending on whether you buy free or operators. Only in the second case the MH750 headphones are included, while both operators and there is free classic and compact charger, but not fast charge.
New generation; old but proven design
Nothing out of the box the Xperia X, touch and observe, there is no doubt what we are facing terminal. From the first Xperia Z, Sony has evolved like no other brand a design idea that nobody can argue. It has earned be the most personality in the sector.
The design of the Xperia X, broadly speaking, is known for more than 3 years. Here I think Sony has risked to not risk. With the change of name for the new saga seems to hit a renewal of deeper design that would have provided consumers think more direct and simple way that there is an evolution and not more of the same.
You may also like to read another article on Lab-Soft: Selfies stabilized? Check out the new 16 megapixel Sony Xperia Ultra XA
And that there are substantial changes in the design of this Sony Xperia X. The two most important unappreciated by the naked eye or to the touch. Curious! The first is the change of building material. There is a passage of glass to metal (aluminum very carefully) at the back, but costs because the grinding appreciate the Xperia Z5 is almost indistinguishable from the metallized rear of the Xperia X.
Second is the loss of water resistance, which is kept in the Performance model but surprisingly and incompressible, it is removed from this model. At this point it seems very dangerous. Whoever has seen me testing the new Xperia X has not hesitated to propose submerging or at least get it wet by the idea that has been among consumers that the Xperia are primarily water – resistant. Convincing who buy an Xperia X of the otherwise it will not be easy for Sony.
All that said, if you stop and think about what you have at hand, then you can appreciate the continued good work over time has made Sony with its Xperia since it premiered the Xperia Z range The new design is very comfortable in hand, with, pleasant to the touch and good balance between thickness and weight, without blunting especially in either of those two paragraphs rounded shapes.
As charging port it has been chosen by microUSB, and the shutter button is maintained for photos. Connections we like it has opted for a tray that does not require tool to remove and is safer than the systems previously integrated Sony. There we find room for Nanosim card (the version with 64 GB memory hit the market with dual SIM) and microSD with which expand the internal memory. You must keep in mind that every time you get out and you put the tray, the terminal is restarted.
It is the provision of improved volume control, a bit in no man’s land. On the opposite side and the top would make more sense. The frames around the screen have been improved on the sides, but we still seem excessive at the top and bottom. At least Sony has used there to include stereo sound above average in its range two speakers but without excessive fanfare.
By the way, and since I ask much, the Xperia X carries FM radio with RDS and maintains good audio level headphone output, with support for HD audio in different formats, but we recommend that you choose good headphones to appreciate that differentiation from other terminals that do not care so much that section of its smartphones.
What works perfect Sony is your fingerprint, very fast although it must be pressed to identify. His place in the side start button has the advantage of allowing a natural access when we pick up the terminal and keep it seized, but cannot be used with the terminal on the table. At least not naturally.
Display: Rushing IPS technology
For this Xperia X, Sony has decided to nail the five inches that many consider the most balanced in a high – end and does through a panel of IPS type. And he has left the most prominent element of the new terminal.
The theory around the screen Sony Xperia X is simple: five – inch panel with 1080p resolution that we provide a density of 441 ppi. Price and aspirations of the Xperia X, does not seem too against outstanding AMOLED panels and screens 2K.
But the best screen Xperia X is not in itself that density but good IPS panel that has managed to integrate supported by proprietary technologies like Sony X-Reality and Triluminos.
Beyond telling us the numbers, display new Sony Xperia X We features a reproduction of very intense and striking colored (can regulate three modes), to which we must add a fairly high brightness (more than 550 cd / m2), and best of all: a contrast that, relatively speaking, is an interesting spectacle to the AMOLED approach . In video mode and photography it is outstanding.
It is true that the IPS panel is still far from the outdoor viewability of OLED with high brightness, but in any case the Xperia X screen is perfectly visible in direct sunlight. It is also very prominent minimum brightness, which makes viewing content in the dark without disturbing the view and draw particular attention.
Of added screen we have to tell you that the Xperia X we can set it to activate with double tap, performing very well this option, yet he has not dared Sony with one of the functions of fashion this 2016: notifications and information on locked screen.
Power and autonomy: The numbers do not confuse
What do the numbers a processor or battery capacity to the final experience with the terminal? In the case of X Xperia little.
Let’s start with the processor. Sony, despite the price and aspirations of this Xperia X, puts a Qualcomm model of second row. Specifically, the Snapdragon 650, six – core processor along with 3GB of RAM. We pass the corresponding test of pure performance and effectively shows that it is far from the fantastic figures Snapdragon 820 or own processors such as Huawei Kirin with which it competes on price.
You may also like to read another article on Lab-Soft: Sony Xperia X, better processing a lot of detail but with aspects to polish
But if we use it, the Xperia X lets us experience very satisfactory use and more than enough in demanding daily tasks, including games. Today would be very difficult for a user to determine which processor includes this Xperia and its difference with the best of Qualcomm, for example.
The smooth operation we have experienced is due largely to the optimization of the layer that puts Sony on Android 6.0. It is very aggressive but can apply themes (and quite simple, do not think radically change the appearance) and keeps interesting ideas in bars notifications and configuration.
The party media is once again the best contribution on native Google services, but we also like resource management and space that lets us do with applications.
A clause in the software part is what takes nothing on the system for the first time the terminal. Of the 32 GB Android system with customization already has over 10 GB (11.75 GB showed us). Rather excessive given that there are only a couple of preinstalled applications. Since we have nothing to worry microSD card slot, but you had to point it out.
The other important figure of the technical specifications of the Xperia X is the battery capacity. Are 2620 mAh, fair if we compare with the competition, and in our test has left us away from the two days Sony promises to her.
It is true that the Stamina mode remains the same throughout the market, and for users, who want to stretch the battery beyond the day and a half of use, is a guarantee. But only if you admit limit performance and utility of the terminal.
These 2620 mAh we stayed in the fairly short proof as it were demanding the terminal. Do not skimp using screen or notifications ultimately not contain the possibilities of a smartphone level, and caused that we could reach the point of use and day. Typically it has been finished the day with no more than 20% battery, in line with what we’ve been seeing in many terminals this year, but not in the highlights.
Something more interesting but perhaps cannot appreciate the consumer (and not be a factor determining purchase) is the Qnovo technology introduced by Sony in the batteries of their new handsets for life is greater than traditional protecting the battery for loads , something interesting terminals that do not allow the exchange of the same and necessary. But again, only time will tell if relevant.
More importantly I think the issue of fast charging. Sony includes it (QuickCharge 3.0 of Qualcomm) in its Xperia X but nevertheless does not provide a compatible charger standard with your terminal. Must be bought separately. In our case, with a classic system load we measured a time of half an hour to reach 30% of total load, and 110 minutes to complete your ability and be the battery to 100%.
A camera to capture details and selfies suffering at night
While high – end and much of the middle level are opting for a resolution to their main chambers that revolves around 12 megapixels (there are some exceptions that rises to a maximum of 16 MP), Sony does not renounce provide high resolution actually gives the only clear competitive advantage to its rivals: the level of detail we can get for their more than 20 – megapixel resolution.
The sensor is a generous size, 1 / 2.3 inches, the largest segment, and f2.0 brightness. With camera Sony Xperia X in automatic mode it is easy to get photos balanced, with good exposure and color reproduction and where you can admire details and approach them as with any other terminal.
Processing in previous generations took away the instantaneous value has improved, although it still leaves us clear inconsistencies. In scenes that have been excellently exposed with a great level of detail it is that the edges processing is poor at this stage of the game.
It also improves the camera of this Xperia X in speed, but we continue with a slight delay from the trigger until we can see the image that leaves us with a feeling of sluggishness that does not correspond to the shot or the approach but makes fire several shots in a row is a tedious process. This happens to us even with resolutions of 8 MP.
Speed the greatest success of the Sony Xperia X is able to configure the trigger in less than a second after removing it from the pocket.
On a technical level the predictive hybrid approach is one of the new Xperia cameras X. If activated, the system will pursue an object or subject that we determine to keep always focused thanks to algorithms forecast its movement.
Broadly works, monitoring is done efficiently and if the movement is not very fast and there is no excessive objects in the scene, allows us to make well-targeted catch. But except in very specific scenes, think for example in children, we do not think by now a feature that can make a difference because there are other tasks of mobile photography that are not at the highest level.
That same system continued focus to an object is used more efficiently in the videos. Eye because we were surprised that there is no 4K video, so you have to settle for 1080p, but with outstanding quality, especially in terms of stabilization. Here we think is the best market in this feature.
The weakest point of the camera Sony Xperia X comes with the lack of light. Despite the good size of the sensor and aperture f 2.0, with so many megapixels the camera is subjected to control points and collect enough light where there is none without spoiling the detail with excessive noise or processed. There is still room for improvement and is below the best market in night scenes.
The interface is well advanced and is easy to move from one mode to another by sliding the finger on the screen. Different shooting modes are maintained and combining real and artificial image, but remain very secondary and accessory. There are also manual mode however has already been short enough to what we find in the competition, can only change directly sensitivity, white balance and exposure compensation, in addition to the measurement point and within application menus.
Seeing how consumers prefer to use the secondary camera to take pictures before you ask someone to make it with the main camera, we understand the increasing role that this element is bringing together on a smartphone. And in general, which includes the Sony Xperia X is the best we tasted on a smartphone of this level.
The secondary camera aimed primarily at selfies, dares with a good resolution of 13 megapixels, sensor size 1/3 inch, and enhanced by an angle of 22 mm which certainly prevents us juggled in the photo we do with it without resorting to fit more accessories type sticks, stabilization and opening f2.0, plus 1080p video recording.

Foreign specialists’ may stage chemical attack in Syria in 2 days to frame Assad – Russian MoD
international / anti-war / imperialism / other press Sunday August 26, 2018 23:07 by 1 of indy 2 comments (last - wednesday march 06, 2019 21:31)
There have been numerous attempts to frame the Assad regime with launching and carrying out chemical attacks in Syria. All of them so far have either been fake or carried out by the so called 'Rebels' and terrorists largely backed by Washington, London and Paris through their proxies in Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Turkey before it turned away from the US after it organised an attempted coup against Erdogan.
In all cases the chemical attacks and talk of them has been used by the US and it's allies as an excuse to bomb Syria. There is absolute no reason and motive for Assad to use chemical weapons either now or in the past. At this stage he has won the war in Syria and expelled most of the terrorists or done deals with them and arranged for them to be bused out. From a logical and motive point of view it would be insane for him to do this. He would gain zero. On the other hand it makes perfect sense not so much for the terrorists who are just pawns in a bigger game, but perfect sense for the US because Syria has been on their target since at least 2001 and they have wanted regime change from the start. They have also been humiliated that their terrorists have been defeated and their regional plans thwarted. This turn-around happened largely happened after Syria invited Russia into Syria to help in the war effort and it represents the fist time since the breakup of the Soviet Union that Russia has been able to get up of it's knee and challenge the destructive insanity of the US. And so this gives some background to the report below that appeared on RT.
“Foreign specialists” have arrived in Syria and may stage a chemical attack using chlorine in “the next two days,” the Russian Defense Ministry said. This will be filmed for international media to frame Damascus forces.
Defense Ministry Spokesman Major General Igor Konashenkov said the operation is planned to unfold in the village of Kafr Zita in Syria’s northwestern Hama Province in “the next two days.”

Condemnation of Overnight Attacks Carried out by Western Powers in Syria
national / anti-war / imperialism / press release Thursday April 19, 2018 21:12 by sw
The Peace and Neutrality Alliance along with World Beyond War condemns unreservedly the overnight attacks carried out by Western powers on the Syrian Arab Republic.
The pretext for this offensive is that a chemical weapons attack has allegedly been carried out by the Syrian Government and that international law banning prohibiting chemical weapons must be upheld. Given that the bombing of a sovereign state is itself a violation of international law, we are being asked to believe that international law must be broken in order that it be upheld -- a manifest absurdity. read full story / add a comment

Some Sensible and Logical Analysis to the Skripal poisoning case and Others
international / anti-war / imperialism / opinion/analysis Saturday April 07, 2018 00:02 by 1 of indy
The Western Corporate and State media has been saturated for the past month or so over the Skripal poisoning case of an ex Russia intelligence officer and his daughter. The level of hysterical reaction is enough to make you sit up and realize there is a lot more going on here and there is some kind of agenda being sent and it is clearly part of the relentless ongoing Russia phobia and hating campaign that we have all had to bear with over the last few years and particularly so since the US sponsored Neo Nazi coup in the Ukraine in Feb 2014 and then the nerve of the Russia army to be invited into Syria by the Syria government and their near total elimination of the US-UK-France backed ISIS terrorists injected into Syria (via Saudi Arabia and Turkey before the latter's turn away from US) to push their own agenda to destroy regimes not compliant to the West.
In this analysis below from "The Saker" he uses simple logic to completely show the absurdity of the claims of the UK government regarding the Skripal case although in a more wider context. It is quite clear to anyone with a few brain cells that this is part of a deep state operation. read full story / add a comment

NATO’s Anarchist Brigades
international / anti-war / imperialism / opinion/analysis Monday September 25, 2017 23:38 by 1 of indy
This is a repost from Thierry Meyssan site and it discusses how the US military-intelligence industrial complex has co-opted the far Left, largely unrealized to themselves in the fight for US imperialism. The story of Kobane and Rojava got a surprising amount of coverage in the mainstream and that in itself is often a red flag because they don't give publicity for nothing unless there is a propaganda reason for it. While maybe a surprise to some, the US via it's pawns like Saudi Arabia and up to recently Turkey, were and are the main backers of ISIS in all it's forms, from support, logistics, weapons, oil-purchase, it is all part of a greater goal to destroy Syria, and use the Kurds to carve out their own state and in the process to give the US a bridgehead to attack Iran, break up Iraq, and permanently cripple Syria. The US will also ensure that if the Kurds manage to form their own state, they will setup it up to Balkanize it and leave it in a permanent state of war so they can play the old divide and conquer game. Over the previous decades the US has previously backed and then dropped the support for the Kurds many time and betrayed them. So while the Kurds may well deserve their own state, these things do not occur in a vaccum.
When the Russians were invited by Syria to support it in crushing ISIS in 2014 and so far they have gone along way and block the US's plan A for Syria, they came up with plan B to use the Kurds to achieve the goal. There is no doubt that there was and is a pre-existing left leaning movement within the Kurds and even with Anarchist tendencies or elements to it but it just seemed all too good to be true and the immense resources and budgets of US imperalism and it's NATO allies, has the means to control the show as outlined in Meyssan's article read full story / add a comment

Terror In Britain: What Did The Prime Minister Know?

The unsayable in Britain’s general election campaign is this. The causes of the Manchester atrocity, in which 22 mostly young people were murdered by a jihadist, are being suppressed to protect the secrets of British foreign policy.
Critical questions – such as why the security service MI5 maintained terrorist “assets” in Manchester and why the government did not warn the public of the threat in their midst – remain unanswered, deflected by the promise of an internal “review”. read full story / add a comment

Changing Course for Life, In Defence of Life
Tagged ‘vision’
NEEDED: Vision and Leadership for the Family of Man
One cannot fail to recognise the ubiquitous crisis in all forms of leadership that exists on the planet today. Qualities of wisdom, courage and statesmanship, once admired and emulated by aspiring people of principle, have been undermined and sterilised via collective slavery to the prescribed money and power agenda, which reflects the default position of society.
Today, little people claim to be big and ‘big’ people seem to want to be invisible. The higher values of society have been corrupted and put into reverse, replaced by a centrally directed pandemic of fear and confusion; leaving nobody sure what direction society needs to move in.
Out of this chaos a new type of leadership will need to emerge and its primary value must be Spiritual Wisdom. It is the prima facia lack of spiritual aspiration in the great body of humanity which has allowed the anti-life corruptive forces to gain such a wide ranging control over everyday life.
There are two predominantly fake versions of spirituality: formal religion and the narcissistic meditator. These have replaced the deeper calling of true individual spiritual evolution: confronting injustice and giving service to humanity.
In the former case, by replacing prophetic teachings with dogma and control, and in the latter, by using bona fide Eastern practices as a personal escape mechanism. A closing of the eyes to the need to face up to the injustices of the world and working to expose and change them.
The deeper calling which exists in all humanity has been grossly undernourished, leaving many having no ‘belief’ in the existence of a greater force for good and no sense of deeper purpose associated with ‘being alive’. What might be described as living in a permanent void.
How can life on Earth improve while such a state prevails? How can people be uplifted when the spark of life has died in them?
The starting point for reversing this dystopian state of affairs is to recognise that this spark is not actually beyond redemption. But that it is simply buried and suffocated by continuous confirmation to the long-running fake plan for society, and could re-emerge from its enforced hibernation if the right conditions were set in place to bring about such a transformation.
Since we are all blessed with receiving ‘life’ (being born) it becomes a question of admitting to a Source of this life state which comes before and extends beyond the individual ‘you’ and ‘I’. Provided one has some sense of wonderment about this greater life force one’s spirit is intact and onward one can go to develop the values of courage, dignity and statehood I mentioned at the start.
If there is no wonderment, but moral and ethical values are nevertheless expressed, this will suffice in upholding the basic dignity associated with being human, but will not give creative impetus to the evolution of human society.
But if there is no dignity and no wonderment – and the capitulation to slavery has been complete – then only a radical form of redress could come to the rescue of the values that give meaning to life and the lost souls trapped into laying their lives at the feet of our planetary oppressors.
That radical form of redress is what is now needed. It means the rise into positions of respected leadership of individuals (and groups of individuals) who are dedicated to advancing the cause of human emancipation, whatever the odds that stand against them. And since it is dogma and indoctrination that are the first two hurdles to stand in their way, these must be the first to come under sustained attack.
This means root and branch reform of the entire education system and a radical rebuilding of the teacher pupil relationship. A transformation founded upon the natural human propensity for social bonding, the insight that leads to ‘vision’ and a sharing of the work-load that life places in all our laps.
The goals that have been set for new arrivals on this planet are false. That is the first lesson for any ‘real’ education. A child arrives on Earth as a bright and beautiful human being, full of the innocent spontaneity which is a direct expression of the divine source from whence the child has come. But the figureheads of the society into which that child arrives have the ambition of turning this new human being – into a robot. Something a bit wrong here, wouldn’t you agree?
Computer technology and the digitalised images such technology conveys, are not compatible with the human condition. They are alien to true humanity and represent a disconnect between body, mind a spirit. A distortion of our deeper bond with the greater whole without which we cannot operate as real people, only as fake lookalikes.
The emerging ‘true leadership’ will recognise this fact and ensure that the body, mind and spirit unity is redeemed as the first and most fundamental condition of the new education.
It will also recognise that the same distortion of truth lies at the heart of the financial institutions that control the global money supply, ensuring the ever greater disparity between poverty and wealth. The new education will therefore elucidate an economic principle whereby the wealth of the planet is to be shared amongst all peoples and poverty is eradicated.
It will note that there is no proper justice left within the decisions and processes of national and international law, and will advise a fair system of trial accompanied by ‘a corrective’ process rather than the ‘coercive’ process of the existing prison system.
An alliance with cosmic law (God’s law) – known and practised as Common Law – will become the medium for judging and redirecting the antisocial acts of others.
As all humans need good food and water to be healthy, the new leadership will ensure everybody has the right to such nourishment in their daily lives. A pro-ecological agriculture and farming practice, in the hands of humane and sensitive practitioners, will therefore be recognised as the proper basis for planetary equilibrium and proper nourishment of humanity as a whole.
Within this emerging new paradigm, the emphasis will move away from a globalized marketing regime, to local and regional production and distribution systems based on the principle of co-operating rather than competition. ‘Human scale’ will be the watchword for industry of all sorts.
Where there is to be an overriding central body concerned with ensuring the course for the emergent new society is set fair, it will comprise ‘a council of the wise and true’.
Offering a sound template for living in harmony with fellow humans and with nature, is the work that those of us who share this vision, need to do at this time.
It is a very exciting time to be alive. In spite of the daunting nature of the challenges we face, the human spirit, reconnected to its divine origins and true sense of purpose, will overcome all attempts to consign it to prison. Instead it will bring about a renaissance. A renaissance far exceeding any temporary upturns in creative expression witnessed in previous centuries.
But there is one inadmissible factor without which we cannot ensure this metamorphosis reaches its full potential; a recognition that we are simultaneously both truly individual and innately social beings – who place on an equal footing the ability to lead wisely and yet to never loose touch with our roots as brothers and sisters within the great family of man.
Holding this vision in front of us, we will surely overcome all that stands in the way of the great emancipation of life on Earth.
Julian Rose is an early pioneer of UK organic farming, writer, international activist, entrepreneur and teacher. His latest book ‘Overcoming the Robotic Mind – Why Humanity Must Come Through’ is particularly prescient reading for this time: see www.julianrose.info

On the Brink
Note: the author commenced the writing of this essay prior to the US elections.
I feel uneasy. Like I’m bracing for something. As if something devious and illusive is being hatched behind my back by unseen forces of a distinctly untrustworthy nature. That’s what it feels like.
The uneasiness is not entirely negative, as it seems to be gearing me up to be prepared for something, something big. Some ‘event’ which could be surprisingly close at hand.
Now upon further scrutiny, I recognize that this isn’t purely something personal. It’s something ‘in the air’, as they say. It’s a state of tension; something like the way atmospheric pressure builds-up just before a thunderstorm.
It’s as though some warning system is engaging itself at the gut level. Is the species called ‘human’ about to undergo some big upheaval? Something that takes us all to the brink? Are we approaching the end point of our long engagement with this profligate, insupportable materialistic life style to which much of humanity has been wedded for so long?
Or is what I’m feeling the planet herself – sending out a warning signal “My message has not been heard; my voice has been ignored; my sinews are aching; poisons are eating into my veins. I have my limits, and they are now at hand. I’m about to blow.” (more…)

The World to Come – from Vision to Reality
If the dark-siders are so cock-sure about installing their ‘New World Order’ – they may be in for a bit of a shock – for we are sure to trump them with our ‘Great World to Come’.
These are the battle lines of the 21st century – and engagement is already well under way.
The birthing of The World to Come involves a long maturation period – and, right now, we are pregnant with expectation. The disparate energetic pixels of a great vision are coalescing towards each other; and as they do, the picture is starting to take on a discernible shape and form. It is, if you like, coming into focus.
Millions of shimmering complimentary thought patterns are forming this emerging picture; weaving and dancing their way into a glittering hologram of divine exigence. And yes, it is we who are its drivers – its creators. (more…)

The Active Side of Infinity
Carlos Castaneda and Julian Rose
“Every one of us human beings has two minds. One is totally ours, it is like a faint voice that always brings us order, directness, purpose. The other is a foreign installation. It brings us conflict, self-assertion, doubts, hopelessness: it’s ourselves as the ‘me-me’ centre of the world.”
Thus spoke Carlos Castaneda in ‘The Active Side of infinity’ which is part of the ‘Teachings of Don Juan’ series. And I’m going to give you more excerpts from The Active Side of Infinity. Because I believe that these writings present Shamanic teachings to us in a direct, powerful way – and at a time when we most need them. (more…)

Echo of the Primitive
Between them, the upward aspiration of the Spirit and the pull of the Earth exert the two most fundamental influences on our lives. Strip away all the parifinalia of modern life and the raw energies of these two forces take hold of us, opening up our latent powers.
What might appear to be two opposing forces turn out to be complementary dynamics sharing one original source.
To find our true equilibrium – it is necessary to get creative with these two dynamics. Let them speak to us, through us, so that we are re-imbued with the power that we have allowed to be stolen from us through centuries of denial. Denial, both by us and by those who set the trap which so great a portion of human-kind has walked into. (more…)

Constructing the New Society
‘Eight Steps’
We who engage in postulating solutions to the dominant issues of this time, use much energy speculating on unknown outcomes. But how much energy do we use in laying the ground for a future of our own making?
How much time do we give to devising the template for the new society we must create?
To bring a dream into reality is hard work; it’s a lifetime’s work at the very least. Yet many hold back from ever embarking – rationalising that such a quest is a futile exercise that will surely be swamped by a reactionary and repressive status quo.
Somehow, this failure to embark on the single most important mission of our lives, characterises a great swath of sleepwalking humanity. But not only, also a significant percentage of supposed ‘spiritual aspirants’ who confuse the azure bubble in which they live with the stark reality of the new world which needs to be chiselled and honed into existence.

Transhumanist Bankers Plan Robotic Future
“In the Future – Nature and Technology Will Work as One”
International airports in Britain greet arrivals and departures with the letters ‘HSBC’ and the words “The World’s Bank” plastered boldly over plane docking bays and passenger corridors. For those not in the know HSBC is “A British multinational banking and financial services organisation headquartered in London, England.” It is “One of the largest banking and financial services institutions in the world, servicing around fifty eight million customers through four Global Businesses.”
Now the thing about HSBC is that it is interested in more than just banking (in common with most others) and it believes that it has ‘seen the future’. (more…)

The Mystery of Hell and the Lake of Fire: are they the same?
In: Christian Error
Tweet Reddit Pin it
Are Hell and the Lake of Fire referring to the same place?
We often hear of the place in the Bible called hell. Much has been said about this dreaded place, a place of torments, a place no one will feel comfortable. At another place we hear of the lake of fire and that hell itself will be thrown in the lake of fire. Are they the same or different? Let’s see.
This study came out of a question in our Biblical Truth-Seekers WhatsApp group. The question was…
Apostles’ Creed reads, “was crucified, dead, and buried, he descended into hell; the third day he rose again from the dead.” I am asking about the descending to hell part. It does not mention the key but can you teach what you know on this subject.
I found nothing in the book that directly says that HaMashiach went down to hell. However, I found verses from which they probably made the deduction.
1Pe 4:5 — 1Pe 4:6
Who shall give account to him that is ready to judge the quick and the dead. For this cause was the good news preached also to them that are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to Elohiym in the spirit.
I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Awmane; and have the keys of hell and of death.
Eph 4:8 — Eph 4:10
Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men. (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth? He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.)
So one can look at these 3 sets of verses and say, yes, he went down to hell. He indeed went down to hell, but we shall see that what WE call hell in the Bible is not what we think it is. Confused? Good.
What the Bible calls “hell” is known in old testament Hebrew as “sheol” or in new testament Greek as “hades.”
The sorrows of hell compassed me about; the snares of death prevented me;
English: hell
Transliteration: she’ôl she’ôl
Pronunciation: {sheh-ole’} sheh-ole’
Definition: From H7592; hades or the world of the dead (as if a subterranian {retreat }) including its accessories and inmates: – {grave} {hell} pit.
KJV Usage: grave (31x), hell (31x), pit (3x).
Hell in the Bible means the grave, as in a subterranean retreat: the world of the dead (both righteous and unrighteous).
Meaning of Subterranean
ˌsʌbtəˈreɪnɪən/
existing, occurring, or done under the earth’s surface.
“the terrors and hazards of subterranean exploration”
Let us see its use here again as the temporary resting place of the dead before the judgment.
O Most High, thou hast brought up my soul from the grave: thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.
The meaning of “grave” as used in Psalms 30:3?
Definition: From H7592; hades or the world of the dead (as if a subterranian {retreat }) including its accessories and inmates: – *{grave}* {hell} pit.
KJV Usage: *grave* (31x), hell (31x), pit (3x).
Now Psalms 30:3 is very revealing as it pairs “grave” with the English word “pit” which is actually a description of the grave. Let us see how David described the grave by looking at the meaning of *pit:*
Meaning of *pit* as used in Psalms 30:3…
English: pit
Transliteration: bôr
Pronunciation: bore
Definition: From H952 (in the sense of H877); a pit, hole (especially one used as a cistern or *prison*): – {cistern} *{dungeon}* {fountain} {pit} *well*.
KJV Usage: *pit* (42x), cistern (4x), *dungeon* (11x), well (9x), dungeon (with H1004) (2x), fountain (1x).
So we see the grave being described as a prison, a dungeon, a hole.
In a previous teaching, we had looked at this temporary place of the dead in Enoch 22. This is what the Bible calls hell. However, what WE call hell is actually what the Bible calls “the lake of fire.”
Let us look at the use of the Greek equivalent *hades* and these verses in Revelation will show definitively that what we call hell is an error.
Rev 20:13 — Rev 20:15
And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
So death and hell delivered up the dead. These refer to temporary states (the first death).
Next the meaning of death:
Transliteration: thanatos
Pronunciation: than’-at-os
Definition: From G2348; (properly an adjective used as a noun) death (literally or figuratively): – X deadly (be . . .) death.
KJV Usage: death (117x), deadly (2x).
No surprise here: death refers to the state of being dead. The adjective being used as a noun as a general title for the dead.
Before I go further, let me just look at the 3 main nouns in Rev 20:13-15
1) death
2) hell
3) lake of fire
So next, let us look at the meaning of hell as used in the Greek.
Translation: hades
Pronunciation: hah’-dace
Definition: From G1 (as a negative particle) and G1492; properly unseen that is Hades or the place (state) of departed souls: – *grave,* *hell*.
KJV Usage: hell (10x), grave (1x).
So hell is again shown to be the place of departed souls. This would include both the righteous and unrighteous. It did not say the place of sinners, it says departed souls . So the first death leaves men (mankind) in a temporary holding place until the day of judgment. Then the condemned will be sent to the lake of fire.
We shall see more vivid detail from the books of Chanoch (Enoch) and the book of 2 Esdras (Ezra) soon. Take a look at the video below which summarizes how hell is separated into different sections, separating the sinners from the righteous. This is confirmed and examined in more detail in 2 Esdras.
What we call hell is actually the lake of fire
And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
So the lake of fire is what we actually call hell. Hell is not a permanent place, it is only temporary, where the dead await the judgment. The lake of fire is the danger. It is the final destination of the devil, his angels and sinners. The lake of fire is what we mean when we say hell.
Now look at the book of Enoch explicitly confirming this…
Hell as temporary place of abode after first death, waiting on the judgment…
Chanok (Enoch) 22:
22:1 From there I proceeded to another spot, where I saw on the west a great and lofty mountain, a strong rock, and four delightful places.
22:2 Internally it was deep, capacious, and very smooth; as smooth as it had been rolled over: it was both deep and dark to behold.
22;3 Then Raphael answered, one of the holy angels who was with me, and said unto me: ‘These hollow places have been created for this very purpose, that the spirits of the souls of the dead should assemble therein, yea that all the souls of the children of men should assemble here.
22:4 And these places have been made to receive them till the day of their judgement and till their appointed period ?till the period appointed?, till the great judgement (comes) upon them.’*
That is hell (sheol/hades).
This is as close a description as we get.
Dwelling Places of the Dead
We see it plainly in the story of Lazarus the beggar.
Luk 16:19 -22
There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:
And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores,
And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man’s table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.
And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham’s bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;
And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
Luk 16:25 But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.
Luk 16:26 And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.
Lazarus was taken into Abraham’s bosom. Where or what is Abraham’s bosom? I rarely quote from secular sources, but here I give a quote from Wikipedia, as I could not have said it any better:
“Bosom of Abraham” refers to the place of comfort in the Biblical Sheol (or Hades in the Greek Septuagint version of the Hebrew scriptures from around 200 BC, and therefore so described in the New Testament) where the righteous dead await Judgment Day.
So contrary to what many teach, that did not occur in heaven, but in sheol or hell.
Importantly, it speaks of torment in hell even before the lake of fire. No rest for the wicked. Additionally, it speaks of a separation between both dwelling places (a great gulf fixed). They can see each other, but cannot pass one to the other.
Related: Are you a saint? Find out why it is important that we know
The book of 2 Esdras (from the Apocrypha) confirms this and gives us more detail.
If the spirit belonged to one of those who showed contempt and didn’t keep the Most High’s way, if it was one of those who despised his Law and who hates those who fear God, these spirits don’t go into their dwellings but will immediately wander about in torments.
They will constantly grieve and be sorrowful for seven reasons:
The first reason—because they despised the Law of the Most High.
The second reason—because they can’t now effectively change their hearts and lives so that they might live.
The third reason—because they will see the reward laid up for those who have believed the Most High’s testimonies.
The fourth reason—because they will consider the torment laid up for themselves in the last days.
The fifth reason—because they will see the dwelling places of others, guarded by angels in great silence.
The sixth reason—because they see the torment coming upon them from now on.
The seventh reason, which is greater than all the previously mentioned reasons—because they will melt away in confusion and be consumed in disgrace.“They will wither in fear when they see the glory of the Most High, before whom they sinned when they were alive and before whom they are to be judged in the last times.
The spirits of the unrighteous will wander around in torments and will be able to see the dwelling places of the righteous. On the other hand:
“The arrangement for those who kept Elohiym’s ways is this when they begin to be separated from the corruptible body.
In the time of their exile here they labored hard to serve the Most High. Every hour they endured danger so that they might keep the Law of the lawgiver perfectly.
Therefore, this is the word about them:
First, they will see with great joy the glory of him who receives them. They will have rest on account of seven orders:
The first order—because they have struggled hard to overcome the evil thought fashioned within them so that it wouldn’t lead them astray from life to death.
The second order—because they see the panic in which the souls of the wicked wander and the punishment that awaits them.
The third order—seeing the testimony that their maker has testified on their behalf, because when they were alive, they kept the Law that was given through faith.
The fourth order—understanding the peaceful rest that they now enjoy, gathered in their resting chambers, guarded by angels in deep silence, and understanding the glory that awaits them in their last days.
The fifth order—rejoicing at how they have now escaped the corruptible and how they will have a future inheritance; moreover, seeing the narrow space, full of labor, from which they have been freed, and the spacious place they are about to receive and enjoy, now that they are immortal.
The sixth order—when they are shown how their face begins to shine like the sun and how they begin to be like the stars, as beings of incorruptible light.
The seventh order, which is greater than all those mentioned—because they will rejoice with confidence and will trust without being disappointed and will rejoice without fear; for they hasten to see the face of him whom they served when they were alive and from whom they are about to receive a reward now that they are glorified.
So we see, hell or sheol has separate dwelling places for the righteous and the unrighteous. The unrighteous will not dwell in peace but will suffer torment in hell, even before being thrown in the lake of fire.
This is definitely not encouraging sinners at all and shows why we must live in righteousness and true obedience. At the same time we must try to reach sinners so they can be saved from the wrath to come.
What About the Thief on the Stake?
What about the thief on the stake (cross), where did he go? Did he go to heaven as has been deduced from this verse?
Luk_23:43 And Yahushua said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.
Paradise is the kingdom and today means that instant, with that statement of faith, he has booked his spot in the kingdom.
This is one verse we erroneously use to say the thief is in heaven. It does not literally mean that he is going with the Messiah into heaven. But every man who dies goes to hell (the holding area) first to await the judgment.
The thief on the stake and all those who die in the Messiah will not wait until the judgment, but will rise to be with him when Messiah returns to the earth…
1 Thessalonians 4:16 – 17
For the Master himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of Elohiym: and the dead in HaMashiach shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Master in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Master.
Notice for the judgment it said:
And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
There were 3 places stipulated as giving up the dead for judgment: the sea, death and hell. It did not say that heaven gave up the dead. The thief on the stake has to face judgment like all of us.
So the thief on the stake, like everyone else, is in hell waiting for the judgment but he has already booked his place, as his name is written in the lamb’s book of life. We have already seen that hell (sheol/hades) has divisions to separate the righteous from the unrighteous.
What about Enoch?
A Question was asked by a member of the group:
“Could he (the thief) be in heaven like Enoch?”
Reply: “Where does it say Enoch is in heaven?”
Response: “I thought he ascended to heaven.”
By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because Elohiym had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased Elohiym.
That’s what I am getting at. The word “TRANSLATED” as used in Hebrews 11:5, matches up with what Enoch described in the book of Enoch. There he revealed he was taken and transformed in the spirit, where he was taken all over the earth as well as in heaven. No indication I have so far seen that his resting place is in heaven.
So, it did not say Enoch was in heaven, as in, he took up residence there. He was taken to heaven in the spirit whilst still alive, just as Yahuchanon (John) was taken there in the book of Revelation.
Revelation 4:2 And immediately I (John) was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne.
This verse is very telling:
John 3: 13 King James Bible
And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.
That’s it. After the first death, we wait in sheol/hades/hell until judgment. There are separate dwellings there for the righteous and the unrighteous. Those deemed righteous will rest in peace, but the unrighteous will be tormented. No rest in peace.
Then at the judgment it gets even worse for the sinner: a final sentence to the lake of fire which was prepared for the devil and his angels.
What is ironic, is that some Christians believe when they die they go to heaven. Instead, when we die, we all go to hell first, just as the Messiah did (1 Peter 4:5-6, Ephesians 4:8-10). Then after the judgment we will either go to the lake of fire or into the kingdom of heaven (which will be here on earth). All this depends on the judgment.
See my video: “Where Is The Kingdom of Heaven and Why It Is Important That We Know.”

MenEngage Africa
{loadposition user7}
The country is one of the poorest countries in the world, despite being ranked as one of the world’s top ten countries that are rich in minerals. It also holds one of the highest records of violence against women and girls, in the West African sub- region. The ten years of rebel war officially accounts for nearly 600,000 women and girls violated during this senseless destructive civil conflict that ended in 2002. Despite the end of the war, its effects have contributed largely in the escalation of violence and abuse against wome.
MenEngage Sierra Leone
Men’s Association for Gender Equality-Sierrra Leone (MAGE-SL) is a non-profit and a network of male-led organisations working towards the promotion of Gender equality through advocacy, dialogue and raising awareness on gender policies, women’s rights and empowerment in Sierra Leone.
What do they do
The Association strives to circumvent the traditional academic approach to gender promotion and advocacy by adopting a bottom-up approach with grassroots oriented strategies from within the family settings of Sierra Leone. The ten years rebel war, which officially ended in 2002, contributed towards the escalation of violence and abuse against women. Rape in particular was systematically used in the war by all warring factions. Until 2004 rape was a legal crime in Sierra Leone. Traditionally, women in many parts of Sierra Leone are considered as inferior to men. Social structures in these communities such as the legal system of the local community, including family and friends, the educational system, mass media, religion and culture have contributed in many ways to the violent behaviour of men against women.
The purpose of the activities is mainly:
To improve the status of women and girls
To address issues of gender inequality and reverse the dismal situation that most females in the country find themselves in
To circumvent the traditional academic approach to gender promotion and advocacy by adopting a bottom-top approach with grassroots oriented strategies from within the family settings of Sierra Leone.
Some of the activities were
Community stakeholders engagement forums on men’s issues.
Popularizing the three National Gender Acts of 2007 which include….
Radio discussion programs on gender equality
Community drama performances on gender in relation to HIV and AIDS
One on one discussions on gender-based violence.
Intergenerational dialogues at community level on social norms and how it amplifies violence against women and girls
Public Rallies
School outreach programme
Debates and symposiums
Training and capacity building for rural based men
Training of men and boys on gender equality and the prevention of gender-based violence
Policy Advocacy Campaign on GBV laws and gender equality
Training of Trainers of Civil Society Groups on social norms and mobilization on gender and GBV laws
Target group for activities were
• A wide range of stakeholders which includes but not limited to policy makers and central government representatives
Men and boys,
Community or opinion leaders/duty bearers
Civil Society Organisations (CSOs)
Faith Based Organisations (FBOs)
As a result we have seen
• A gradual increase in involving women in free and fare decision making processes
Promotion of women’s ownership and literacy rights
Speedy but accurate trials of gender related cases in courts
Improved status of women in the society
Reversal of the dismal situation that women face in communities, especially in rural settings where policing and law enforcement remain a huge challenge.

Polled livestock
From Mickopedia, the bleedin' free encyclopedia
Hornless livestock
This Shetland ewe is naturally polled
A Red Poll bullock
Polled livestock are livestock without horns in species which are normally horned, the cute hoor. The term refers to both breeds and strains that are naturally polled through selective breedin' and also to naturally horned animals that have been disbudded.[1] Natural pollin' occurs in cattle, yaks, water buffalo, and goats, and in these animals it affects both sexes equally; in sheep, by contrast, both sexes may be horned, both polled, or only the feckin' females polled. Story? The history of breedin' polled livestock starts about 6000 years BC.[2]
2 Genetics
3 Scurs
4 Reasons for pollin'
5 Development of polled strains
Terminology[edit]
The archaic term muley or mulley[3] is sometimes used to refer to hornless livestock (especially cattle) in folk songs, folk tales, and poetry,[4] and in the name of the oul' polled Irish Moiled cattle breed, Lord bless us and save us. "Muley" derives from Irish and Scottish Gaelic maol, and Welsh moel.
Genetics[edit]
In cattle, the bleedin' polled allele is genetically dominant to that for horns. G'wan now. The polled trait is far more common in beef breeds than in dairy breeds. CRISPR technology is bein' developed to create polled versions of dairy breeds.[5]
In sheep, the oul' allele for horns in both sexes is partially dominant to the bleedin' allele for bein' polled in both sexes, and both of these are dominant to that for pollin' in the female only.[6]
The development of wholly polled strains in goats has been discouraged by a bleedin' 1944 study that suggested a link between the oul' pollin' gene and hermaphrodism.[7] Unfortunately, little study on the bleedin' subject has occurred since. Naturally polled water buffalo also have genital defects.[8]
Scurs[edit]
Naturally polled animals may have scurs – small, loose, horny growths in the oul' skin where their horns would be. Would ye swally this in a minute now?In cattle, this trait has been traced to a separate gene (on a feckin' different chromosome) from that responsible for pollin'. Bejaysus this is a quare tale altogether. However, the feckin' presence of the allele for scurs in cattle can only be seen in a feckin' polled animal, because horns replace the feckin' scurs in horned animals.[9] Similar scurs may also occur where disbuddin' of a feckin' naturally horned animal has been incomplete.
Reasons for pollin'[edit]
Polled livestock are preferred by many farmers for a variety of reasons, the bleedin' foremost bein' that horns can pose a bleedin' physical danger to humans, other livestock and equipment. C'mere til I tell ya now. Horns may also interfere with equipment used with livestock (such as a holy cattle crush), or they may become damaged durin' handlin'. Whisht now and eist liom.
In other circumstances, horned animals may be preferred, for example, to help the oul' animal defend itself against predators, to allow the attachment of head yokes to draught oxen, to provide a hand-hold on smaller animals such as sheep, or for aesthetic reasons – in some breeds the retention of horns is required for showin'.
In the oul' US no show requires horns to be left on, begorrah. Most shows require at a minimum bluntin' of the bleedin' horns to a bleedin' minimum of 1⁄2 in. Jesus, Mary and holy Saint Joseph. diameter. Boer Goat Shows allow disbudded goats.[10] Dairy breeds of goats required to be naturally hornless or disbudded.[11] 4H and FFA show goats must be hornless or blunted so as not to be sharp and dangerous [12] [13]
Development of polled strains[edit]
Polled strains have been developed of many cattle breeds which were originally horned. Sufferin' Jaysus listen to this. This has usually been done by crossin' with naturally polled breeds, most commonly Angus and Galloway cattle. For example, polled Jersey cattle originated in Ohio sometime prior to 1895. C'mere til I tell ya now. Two strains were developed, the bleedin' first to appear bein' founded by crosses of registered Jersey bulls (the standard) on common muley (hornless) cows. These were graded up by the bleedin' continued use of purebred Jersey sires, selection bein' made of the feckin' polled offsprin' of each generation, the bleedin' horned progeny bein' discarded, the cute hoor. Thus originated what was later known as the feckin' single-standard strain. Arra' would ye listen to this. As in the case of the bleedin' Polled Shorthorns and Polled Herefords, the development of the single-standard strain was soon followed by the feckin' appearance of a feckin' double-standard strain, founded by a few naturally hornless sports that were discovered in registered herds of horned Jersey cattle. These standards were bred among themselves or crossed with registered horned Jerseys, followed by selection for the feckin' polled head, and the strain was developed in this way.[14]

Selkirk is a holy town and historic royal burgh in the oul' Scottish Borders Council district of southeastern Scotland. It lies on the oul' Ettrick Water, a tributary of the River Tweed.
The people of the feckin' town are known as Souters, which means cobblers (shoe makers and menders). At the time of the 2011 census, Selkirk's population was 5,784.[2][3]

Selkirk was formerly the oul' county town of Selkirkshire, fair play. Selkirk is one of the oldest Royal Burghs in Scotland and is the bleedin' site of the bleedin' earliest settlements in what is now the feckin' Scottish Borders.[4] The town's name means "church by the feckin' hall" from the feckin' Old English sele ("hall" or "manor") and cirice ("church").[5][6]
Selkirk was the site of the feckin' first Borders abbey, a holy community of Tironensian monks who moved to Kelso Abbey durin' the bleedin' reign of Kin' David I. In 1113, Kin' David I granted Selkirk large amounts of land. G'wan now and listen to this wan. William Wallace was declared guardian of Scotland in the feckin' town at the feckin' Kirk o' the Forest. Bonnie Prince Charlie, the feckin' Marquess of Montrose and the feckin' Outlaw Murray all had connections with the oul' town.
Wool[edit]
Selkirk grew because of its woollen industry, although now that industry has ceased, leavin' little in its wake. G'wan now and listen to this wan. The town is best known for bannocks, a bleedin' dry fruit cake. It has a feckin' museum and an art gallery.
The town has associations with Mungo Park (explorer); James Hogg ("The Ettrick Shepherd"), a bleedin' local poet and writer; and Sir Walter Scott, a feckin' writer of romances in the bleedin' late 18th and early 19th centuries. C'mere til I tell yiz. It is also home to Scotland's oldest horse racin' track, the bleedin' Gala Rig, on the oul' outskirts of the oul' town.
William Wallace[edit]
It was supposedly in the church at Selkirk, supported by nobles and clergy, that William Wallace was declared Guardian of the Kingdom of Scotland. Here's a quare one. However this is disputed; the oul' old lands of Mauldslie near Rosebank are also reputed to be where Wallace was declared Guardian. Stop the lights! Mauldslie Castle was built on the feckin' lands of Forest Kirk.[dubious – discuss]
O' Floddenfield![edit]
Sir Walter Scott's Courthouse in Selkirk Market Place
Selkirk men fought with Wallace at Stirlin' Bridge and Falkirk, and also with Robert the feckin' Bruce at Bannockburn, but it is Selkirk's connection with the oul' Battle of Flodden in 1513, her response to the oul' call of the bleedin' Kin', the feckin' brave bearin' of her representatives on the feckin' fatal field, and the bleedin' tragic return of the bleedin' sole survivor, that provide the Royal Burgh with its proudest and most maudlin memories: the bleedin' celebration of a five-hundred-year-old defeat. Here's another quare one for ye. Only one man, "Fletcher", returned from the battle, bearin' an oul' blood-stained English flag belongin' to the Macclesfield regiment. On his return he cast the captured English standard around his head before fallin' to his death.
Battle of Philiphaugh[edit]
Main article: Battle of Philiphaugh
Durin' the feckin' series of conflicts that would become known as the oul' Wars of the oul' Three Kingdoms, Selkirk played host the feckin' Royalist army of James Graham, 1st Marquess of Montrose, with his cavalry installed in the oul' burgh, whilst the bleedin' Royalist infantry were camped at the feckin' plain of Philiphaugh, below the oul' town. On the feckin' mornin' of 13 September 1645, a feckin' covenantin' army led by Sir David Leslie attacked the feckin' royalist forces camped at Philiphaugh, and a bleedin' rout ensued. Montrose arrived to find his army in disarray and had to the flee the field, eventually leadin' to his exile. The action at Philiphaugh is infamous for the feckin' massacre by the bleedin' Covenanters of up to 500 surrendered Royalist troops and camp followers – includin' many women and children.
Sir Walter Scott[edit]
Sir Walter Scott was appointed Sheriff-Depute of the County of Selkirk in 1799, and was based in the oul' Royal Burgh's courthouse in the oul' town square. The Sir Walter Scott Way from Moffat to Cockburnspath passes through Selkirk.
Traditions[edit]
Selkirk Common Ridin'[edit]
The Selkirk Common Ridin' is a celebration of the feckin' history and traditions of the bleedin' Royal and Ancient Burgh. Chrisht Almighty. Held on the oul' second Friday after the feckin' first Monday in June, the bleedin' ceremony is one of the feckin' oldest in the bleedin' area. Soft oul' day. With 300–400 riders, Selkirk boasts one of the largest cavalcades of horses and riders in Europe.[7] Selkirk still owns common land to the bleedin' north and south of the bleedin' town, but only the bleedin' northern boundary of Linglie is ridden on the oul' day. The Ridin' commemorates how, from the oul' eighty men that left the oul' town to fight in the bleedin' Battle of Flodden, only one – Fletcher – returned, bearin' a holy captured English flag. Legend has it that he cast the flag about his head to indicate that all the other men of Selkirk had been cut down. At the climax of the feckin' day the oul' Royal Burgh Standard Bearer and Crafts and Associations' Standard Bearers 'cast their colours', that is one by one they stand on an oul' platform in Selkirk's ancient market place and throw (or cast) their flags around their heads in the bleedin' same rehearsed pattern.
Standard Bearer[edit]
The Standard Bearer is chosen from the eligible unmarried young men of the town who have applied for the bleedin' post by the feckin' trustees of the feckin' Common Ridin' Trust, successors to the old Selkirk Town Council which disappeared in the bleedin' local government reorganisation in 1975, the shitehawk. He will normally have served his time as an Attendant to previous Standard Bearers. He is introduced on Appointment Night, the oul' last Friday in April. C'mere til I tell ya now. He is carried shoulder high round the feckin' town, accompanied by bands and the bleedin' crowds of locals. There follow many civic duties in preparation for the main event, and participation in other town common ridings and festivities, includin' Spurs Night when the bleedin' Standard Bearer and attendants meet the feckin' principals of Galashiels at Galafoot and receive a feckin' pair of spurs at a bleedin' dinner in Galashiels.
Common Ridin' Week[edit]
The Saturday before Common Ridin' Day is marked with the oul' annual Children's Picnic, where primary schoolchildren have races. Would ye swally this in a minute now?Sunday sees the oul' inspection of The Rig, the oul' town racecourse and Show Sunday, recently moved to the bleedin' grounds of The Hainin'. Sure this is it. Traditionally Souters would meet up in their new finery bought for the feckin' festivities and sin' songs to the town bands. Arra' would ye listen to this. Other events include the Ex-Standard Bearers Dinner on Monday, and Ladies Night on Wednesday when the female population take over the feckin' bars and clubs for the oul' evenin' and only the bleedin' bravest males venture out. Various bussin'[clarification needed] concerts and dinners are held for the Crafts and Associations.
Nicht afore the feckin' Morn[edit]
On Thursday evenin' the feckin' Senior Burgh Officer takes to the streets to "Cry the feckin' Burley", givin' notice that the bleedin' marches are to be ridden the oul' followin' day, namin' the bleedin' Burleymen (four ex standard bearers), the oul' Burgh Standard Bearer and his attendants, so it is. His trek, accompanied by the bleedin' bands, starts in the West Port, stoppin' in the Market Place, High Street, Back Row and South Port to read the oul' proclamation, endin' with the bleedin' time honoured phrase "There will be all these, and a holy great many more, and all be ready to start at the oul' sound of the feckin' Second Drum." There follows the oul' Bussin'[clarification needed] concert for the oul' Incorporations of the oul' Weavers and the bleedin' Hammermen, in the oul' Victoria Hall, fair play. This is followed by an act of remembrance when all available ex-Standard Bearers march to the oul' statue of Fletcher outside the feckin' Victoria Hall. A wreath is placed on the statue by the oul' chairman of the feckin' ex-Standard Bearers Association, and each ex-Standard bearer walks round the oul' statue in order of the bleedin' year they represented the town, earliest first. C'mere til I tell yiz. Then many hit the pubs and clubs to renew old friendships, for others it is off to bed in preparation for a holy full day ahead.
Common Ridin' Day[edit]
Before dawn, at 4.00 a.m., the bleedin' Selkirk Flute Band begins the bleedin' march around town, wakenin' in turn the Standard Bearer and Provost. I hope yiz are all ears now. There follows an Act of Remembrance by the bleedin' Ex-Soldiers at the oul' War Memorial at 5.30. The "First Drum" is struck at 6.00, the oul' Silver Band play round the oul' town and lead the feckin' singin' of "Hail Smilin' Morn", alternatin' with the feckin' first verse of the feckin' hymn "Lead, Kindly Light", fair play. The band stops off outside the County Hotel for a holy rendition of Exiles' Song "Her Bright Smile" before continuin' to the Victoria Halls for 06.30, you know yerself. Meanwhile, the oul' riders assemble in the oul' Back Row. Here's a quare one. At 06.45 there is the feckin' Installation of Standard Bearer and Bussin' of Royal Burgh Flag on balcony of Victoria Hall. At this point, The procession forms and marches to Market Place awaitin' the "Second Drum" at 07.00. The procession moves off 'down the oul' Green' behind the bleedin' Silver band playin' "O' a' the oul' airts" and the feckin' pipe band, along with the bleedin' flags of the oul' Incorporations and Guilds on foot. Then follows the oul' Standard Bearer and his attendants and the bleedin' mounted cavalcade behind. The traditional wish for all horseman is "Safe oot, Safe in", wishin' that all ride, and return safely.
By 07.30 the feckin' riders begin to ford the bleedin' River Ettrick and continue to Linglie Glen. Would ye swally this in a minute now?The cavalcade reaches the feckin' summit of the Three Brethren cairns, the feckin' highest point of the feckin' ride; here they rest and the bleedin' Standard Bearer and Attendants sin' "Hail Smilin' Morn" before remountin' and continuin' the feckin' ride.
Back in Selkirk, the foot procession re-forms in Market Place and leaves for Shawburn Toll for community singin' led by bands until the bleedin' riders return at the feckin' gallop, would ye swally that? The procession re-forms again and returns to Market Place via Bleachfield Road and High Street to the bleedin' Market Square for the bleedin' ceremony of the oul' Castin' of the bleedin' Colours; In turn the Royal Burgh Standard Bearer followed by those of the oul' Hammermen, Weavers, Merchants, Fleshers, Colonials, and ex soldiers cast their flags to the feckin' tune "Up wi' the feckin' Souters". C'mere til I tell yiz. The ex soldiers standard is dipped at the feckin' end of his performance, there follows an oul' Two Minutes Silence to honour the towns War Dead, banjaxed by the bleedin' Silver band playin' the bleedin' hauntin' ballad "The Liltin".
The ceremonial ends with the oul' Return of the oul' Burgh Flag "unsullied and untarnished" by the bleedin' Standard Bearer to the feckin' Provost. G'wan now. After lunch there is horse racin' at the feckin' Rig, and the bleedin' ball is held in the Victoria Halls. Saturday ends with "The Games" – gymkhana and professional foot racin' at the feckin' towns Cricket Club.
Landmarks[edit]
The remains of the feckin' "forest kirk", referred to in ancient times as the oul' church of St Mary of the oul' Forest, still stand in the oul' old churchyard, the cute hoor. William Wallace may have become Guardian of Scotland here, and it is also the feckin' final restin' place of several relatives of Franklin D. Me head is hurtin' with all this raidin'. Roosevelt, the oul' 32nd President of the USA, enda story. Roosevelt, whose ancestors came from the feckin' area, named his famous dog Fala, after Fala and the feckin' nearby village of Falahill.
Just to the oul' south of the oul' town is The Hainin', the oul' late 18th-century residence of the Pringle family. Jasus. In 2009 the oul' last owner died, and left the house and grounds "for the oul' benefit of the bleedin' community of Selkirkshire and the wider public."[8] A charitable trust is now plannin' to restore the buildin' as an art gallery.[9]
The Selkirk Grace[edit]
The Selkirk Grace has no connection with the feckin' town of Selkirk, beyond its name; it originated in the feckin' west of Scotland. Although attributed to Robert Burns, the bleedin' Selkirk Grace was already known in the bleedin' 17th century, as the oul' "Galloway Grace" or the feckin' "Covenanters' Grace". Arra' would ye listen to this. It came to be called the Selkirk Grace because Burns was said to have delivered it at a bleedin' dinner given by the oul' Earl of Selkirk at St Mary's Isle Priory, in Kirkcudbright in Galloway.
In Scots
And some wad eat that want it,
But we hae meat and we can eat,
Sae let the oul' Lord be thankit.
Some have meat and cannot eat,
And some would eat that want it,
But we have meat and we can eat,
So let God be thanked.
Sport[edit]
Rugby union plays its role in Selkirk culture and society. Bejaysus this is a quare tale altogether. Selkirk RFC play in their home games at Philiphaugh, competin' in the oul' Scottish Premiership and the oul' Border League (the oldest established rugby union league in the bleedin' world).
The town cricket club was formed in 1851 and still plays in the bleedin' Border League. The cricket ground at Philiphaugh is the bleedin' site of the oul' Battle of Philiphaugh. Would ye believe this shite?Selkirk Cricket Club have won the Border League on 23 occasions and the oul' club has produced an oul' dozen Scottish internationalists.
The town also has a footballin' tradition, havin' produced some players of note in the feckin' Scottish game includin' Bobby Johnstone of Hibernian, Bob Mercer of Heart of Midlothian, Sandy McMahon of Celtic. Holy blatherin' Joseph, listen to this. Selkirk Football Club were members of the Lowland Football League. Nicknamed The Souters (Cobblers) the bleedin' club was founded in 1880 and is the oldest club in the oul' Borders, however the bleedin' team liquidated in 2018 due to financial mismanagement, later in the oul' year the feckin' team tried to re enter the bleedin' SFA but were not accepted.
Football in the feckin' town now consists of Selkirk Victoria ( The Vics) and Selkirk Junior FC,( age group teams).

Like the oul' rest of the British Isles, Selkirk has a maritime climate with cool summers and mild winters, for the craic. However the oul' area appears to have one of the bleedin' widest absolute temperature ranges in the oul' United Kingdom. In fairness now. The absolute minimum temperature of −26.6 °C (−15.9 °F) at the feckin' nearest weather station is both a bleedin' daily record,[10] and the oul' record lowest temperature for the feckin' UK outside of the Highlands. Conversely, Scotland's highest temperature of 32.9 °C (91.2 °F) was recorded at Greycook, St. Here's a quare one. Boswells[11] just 8 miles (13 km) to the bleedin' east.

Prez Gives Nod to 3 Farm Bills as Oppn, Farmers Continue Protests; Ex-ally SAD Calls it ‘Dark Day for Democ…
28th September 2020 mledutech
President Ram Nath Kovind on Sunday gave his approval to three contentious farm bills, even as protests by opposition and farmer groups continued.
Parliament had recently passed the Farmer’s Produce Trade and Commerce (Promotion and Facilitation) Bill, 2020, the Farmers (Empowerment and Protection) Agreement of Price Assurance and Farm Services Bill, 2020 and the Essential Commodities (Amendment) Bill, 2020, amid massive uproar from opposition parties. The bills were awaiting presidential assent.
Soon after the President’s assent to the bills, the Maharashtra government announced that it would not implement the “anti-farmers” law in the state. “The Bills passed by Parliament are anti-farmers. So we’re opposing it. Maha Vikas Aghadi will also oppose it and not implement it in Maharashtra. Shiv Sena is also with us. We’ll sit together and form a strategy,” Mahrashtra revenue minister Balasaheb Thorat said.
Shiromani Akali Dal, who formally broke ties with the Bharatiya Janata Party-led NDA a day ago, announced a ‘Kisan March’ on October 1. “Kisan March will begin on October 1 from the three Takhts and go to Mohali. We will give a memorandum to the Governor and the President that these Ordinances should not be given assent and the Centre should take these back,” party president Sukhbir Singh Badal said minutes before the president’s approval came.
Later, he said it is sad to see that president failed to pay heed to farmers’ cries. “Extremely sad that @rashtrapatibhvn refused to heed farmers & Punjabis’ cries & has signed #FarmBills and J&K bill excluding #Punjabi as official language. Hopes that President will act as nation’s conscience & return Bills to Parliament dashed. Dark day for democracy & farmers,” Badal tweeted.
Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh termed the move as “unfortunate and distressing”. He said that his government is exploring all options, including possible amendments to the state laws, to protect the interests of the farmers.
Singh said that his government was already in consultation with legal and agricultural experts, and all those impacted by the central government’s “calamitous” legislations, will decide on the future course of action.
Kovind’s nod to the farm bills comes days after Opposition parties met him and requested him to withhold his approval to the Centre’s contentious farm bills. They had also boycotted Parliament in protest against the way the Centre passed the bills.
President gives his assent to the three #FarmBills :▪️Farmers’ Produce Trade and Commerce (Promotion and Facilitation) Bill, 2020▪️Farmers (Empowerment and Protection) Agreement on Price Assurance and Farm Services Bill, 2020▪️Essential Commodities (Amendment) Bill 2020 pic.twitter.com/PmjG4jNopC
— All India Radio News (@airnewsalerts) September 27, 2020
Congress MP and Leader of Opposition in the Rajya Sabha Ghulam Nabi Azad said that the bills had been passed in an unconstitutional manner. “There was no division of votes, no voice voting,” he said. “Constitutional procedures were flouted in the temple of democracy.”
The members of Opposition parties protested against the bills and called it a “murder of democracy”.
Farmers under the banner of the Kisan Mazdoor Sangharsh Committee have also been protesting on the rail track near Devidaspura village in Amritsar since September 24. Sitting on the rail track, the bare-chested protesters shouted slogans against the BJP-led central government on Saturday and demanded that the farm bills be withdrawn.
The committee had announced on Friday to extend its three-day ‘rail roko’ agitation from September 26 till September 29. The ‘rail roko’ agitation had started on Thursday, forcing the railway authorities to suspend the operation of special passenger trains in the state.
Farmers have expressed apprehension that the Centre’s farm reforms would pave the way for dismantling of the minimum support price system and they would be at the “mercy” of big corporates. The farmers said they would continue their fight till the three farm bills were revoked.
The Centre, however, defended the passage of the farm bills and accused the opposition parties including Congress of doing politics. Union Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad assured farmers that they will not have to sell their produce at less than MSP.
He rejected all the protests, saying they were all being sponsored by those who will be hit, the Congress and the Opposition. “But our commitment to farmers remains, and once people realise the reality, the Opposition will be exposed,” the Union minister said.
‘I don’t understand politics,’ says former Bihar DGP Gupteshwar Pandey, joins JD(U)

Family: DUF1479 (PF07350)
Summary: Protein of unknown function (DUF1479)
Wikipedia: Domain of unknown function
This is the Wikipedia entry entitled "Domain of unknown function". More...
Domain of unknown function Edit Wikipedia article
A domain of unknown function (DUF) is a protein domain that has no characterised function. These families have been collected together in the Pfam database using the prefix DUF followed by a number, with examples being DUF2992 and DUF1220. As of 2019, there are almost 4,000 DUF families within the Pfam database representing over 22% of known families. Some DUFs are not named using the nomenclature due to popular usage but are nevertheless DUFs.[1]
The DUF designation is tentative, and such families tend to be renamed to a more specific name (or merged to an existing domain) after a function is identified.[2][3]
2 Characterisation
3 Frequency and conservation
4 Role in biology
5 Essential DUFs
The DUF naming scheme was introduced by Chris Ponting, through the addition of DUF1 and DUF2 to the SMART database.[4] These two domains were found to be widely distributed in bacterial signaling proteins. Subsequently, the functions of these domains were identified and they have since been renamed as the GGDEF domain and EAL domain respectively.[2]
Structural genomics programmes have attempted to understand the function of DUFs through structure determination. The structures of over 250 DUF families have been solved. This (2009) work showed that about two thirds of DUF families had a structure similar to a previously solved one and therefore likely to be divergent members of existing protein superfamilies, whereas about one third possessed a novel protein fold.[5]
Some DUF families share remote sequence homology with domains that has characterized function. Computational work can be used to link these relationships. An 2015 work was able to assign 20% of the DUFs to characterized structual superfamilies.[6] Pfam also continuously perform the (manually-verified) assignment in "clan" superfamily entries.[1]
Frequency and conservation
Protein domains and DUFs in different domains of life. Left: Annotated domains. Right: domains of unknown function. Not all overlaps shown.[7]
More than 20% of all protein domains were annotated as DUFs in 2013. About 2,700 DUFs are found in bacteria compared with just over 1,500 in eukaryotes. Over 800 DUFs are shared between bacteria and eukaryotes, and about 300 of these are also present in archaea. A total of 2,786 bacterial Pfam domains even occur in animals, including 320 DUFs.[7]
Role in biology
Many DUFs are highly conserved, indicating an important role in biology. However, many such DUFs are not essential, hence their biological role often remains unknown. For instance, DUF143 is present in most bacteria and eukaryotic genomes.[8] However, when it was deleted in Escherichia coli no obvious phenotype was detected. Later it was shown that the proteins that contain DUF143, are ribosomal silencing factors that block the assembly of the two ribosomal subunits.[8] While this function is not essential, it helps the cells to adapt to low nutrient conditions by shutting down protein biosynthesis. As a result, these proteins and the DUF only become relevant when the cells starve.[8] It is thus believed that many DUFs (or proteins of unknown function, PUFs) are only required under certain conditions.
Essential DUFs
Goodacre et al. identified 238 DUFs in 355 essential proteins (in 16 model bacterial species), most of which represent single-domain proteins, clearly establishing the biological essentiality of DUFs. These DUFs are called "essential DUFs" or eDUFs.[7]

For those sequences which have a structure in the Protein DataBank, we use the mapping between UniProt, PDB and Pfam coordinate systems from the PDBe group, to allow us to map Pfam domains onto UniProt sequences and three-dimensional protein structures. The table below shows the structures on which the DUF1479 domain has been found. There are 5 instances of this domain found in the PDB. Note that there may be multiple copies of the domain in a single PDB structure, since many structures contain multiple copies of the same protein sequence.

The Pope And The Capital Juror, Aliza Plener Cover Dec 2018
The Pope And The Capital Juror, Aliza Plener Cover
In a significant change to Catholic Church doctrine, Pope Francis recently declared that capital punishment is impermissible under all circumstances. Counterintuitively, the Pope’s pronouncement might make capital punishment less popular but more prevalent in the United States. This Essay anticipates this possible dynamic and, in so doing, explores how “death qualification” of capital juries can insulate the administration of the death penalty when community morality evolves away from capital punishment.
Wrong Turn On The Ex Post Facto Clause, Paul D. Reingold, Kimberly Thomas Jun 2018
Wrong Turn On The Ex Post Facto Clause, Paul D. Reingold, Kimberly Thomas
The Ex Post Facto Clause bars any increase in punishment after the commission of a crime. But deciding what constitutes an increase in punishment can be tricky. At the front end of a criminal case, where new or amended criminal laws might lengthen prisoners’ sentences if applied retroactively, courts have routinely struck down such changes under the Ex Post Facto Clause. At the back end, however, where new or amended parole laws or policies might lengthen prisoners’ sentences in exactly the same way if applied retroactively, courts have used a different standard and upheld the changes under the Ex Post ...
Section 2 After Section 5: Voting Rights And The Race To The Bottom, Ellen D. Katz Apr 2018
Section 2 After Section 5: Voting Rights And The Race To The Bottom, Ellen D. Katz
Five years ago, Shelby County v. Holder released nine states and fifty-five smaller jurisdictions from the preclearance obligation set forth in section 5 of the Voting Rights Act (VRA). This obligation mandated that places with a history of discrimination in voting obtain federal approval—known as preclearance—before changing any electoral rule or procedure. Within hours of the Shelby County decision, jurisdictions began moving to reenact measures section 5 had specifically blocked. Others pressed forward with new rules that the VRA would have barred prior to Shelby County.

The Fortification Of Inequality: Constitutional Doctrine And The Political Economy, Kate Andrias
As Parts I and II of this Essay elaborate, the examination yields three observations of relevance to constitutional law more generally: First, judge-made constitutional doctrine, though by no means the primary cause of rising inequality, has played an important role in reinforcing and exacerbating it. Judges have acquiesced to legislatively structured economic inequality, while also restricting the ability of legislatures to remedy it. Second, while economic inequality has become a cause célèbre only in the last few years, much of the constitutional doctrine that has contributed to its flourishing is longstanding. Moreover, for several decades, even the Court’s more ...

Arbiters Of Decency: A Study Of Legislators' Eighth Amendment Role, Aliza Plener Cover
Within Eighth Amendment doctrine, legislators are arbiters of contemporary values. The United States Supreme Court looks closely to state and federal death penalty legislation to determine whether a given punishment is out of keeping with “evolving standards of decency.” Those who draft, debate, and vote on death penalty laws thus participate in both ordinary and higher lawmaking. This Article investigates this dual role.
We coded and aggregated information about every floor statement made in the legislative debates preceding the recent passage of bills abolishing the death penalty in Connecticut, Illinois, and Nebraska. We categorized all statements according to their position ...
Religious Healing Exemptions And The Jurisprudential Gap Between Substantive Due Process And Free Exercise Rights, Shaakirrah R. Sanders Jan 2018
Religious Healing Exemptions And The Jurisprudential Gap Between Substantive Due Process And Free Exercise Rights, Shaakirrah R. Sanders
Religious healing parents have vexed state courts for almost a century. Religious healing is the belief that "prayer" or "spiritual means," rather than modern medicine, can cure individuals. Adults and emancipated minors have the right to refuse medical treatment. Some states go further and grant religious healing parents a statutory exemption against criminal and civil actions for child endangerment, neglect, negligence, manslaughter, and even homicide. This Article identifies these types of exemptions as an issue of religious childrearing.
Religious healing exemptions demonstrate the difficulty delineating the line between childrearing rights of parents and the state's duty to protect children ...
The New Jim Crow's Equal Protection Potential, Katherine Macfarlane Jan 2018
The New Jim Crow's Equal Protection Potential, Katherine Macfarlane
In 1954, the Supreme Court's Brown v. Board of Education opinion relied on social science research to overturn Plessy v. Ferguson's separate but equal doctrine. Since Brown, social science research has been considered by the Court in cases involving equal protection challenges to grand jury selection, death penalty sentences, and affirmative action. In 2016, Justice Sotomayor cited an influential piece of social science research, Michelle Alexander's The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness, in her powerful Utah v. Strieff dissent. Sotomayor contended that the Court's holding overlooked the unequal racial impact of ...
The Government's Manufacture Of Doubt, Helen Norton Jan 2018
The Government's Manufacture Of Doubt, Helen Norton
“The manufacture of doubt” refers to a speaker’s strategic efforts to undermine factual assertions that threaten its self-interest. This strategy was perhaps most famously employed by the tobacco industry in its longstanding campaign to contest mounting medical evidence linking cigarettes to a wide range of health risks. At its best, the government’s speech can counter such efforts and protect the public interest, as exemplified by the Surgeon General’s groundbreaking 1964 report on the dangers of tobacco, a report that challenged the industry’s preferred narrative. But the government’s speech is not always so heroic, and governments ...

Remedies And The Government's Constitutionally Harmful Speech, Helen Norton
Although governments have engaged in expression from their inception, only recently have we begun to consider the ways in which the government’s speech sometimes threatens our constitutional rights. In my contribution to this symposium, I seek to show that although the search for constitutional remedies for the government’s harmful expression is challenging, it is far from futile. This search is also increasingly important at a time when the government’s expressive powers continue to grow—along with its willingness to use these powers for disturbing purposes and with troubling consequences.
More specifically, in certain circumstances, injunctive relief, declaratory ...

Government Lies And The Press Clause, Helen Norton
This essay considers a particular universe of potentially dangerous governmental falsehoods: the government's lies and misrepresentations about and to the press.
Government's efforts to regulate private speakers' lies clearly implicate the First Amendment, as many (but not all) of our own lies are protected by the Free Speech Clause. But because the government does not have First Amendment rights of its own when it speaks, the constitutional limits, if any, on the government's own lies are considerably less clear.
In earlier work I have explored in some detail the Free Speech and Due Process Clauses as possible ...
Equal Protection Under The Carceral State, Aya Gruber Jan 2018
Equal Protection Under The Carceral State, Aya Gruber
McCleskey v. Kemp, the case that upheld the death penalty despite undeniable evidence of its racially disparate impact, is indelibly marked by Justice William Brennan’s phrase, “a fear of too much justice.” The popular interpretation of this phrase is that the Supreme Court harbored what I call a “disparity-claim fear,” dreading a future docket of racial discrimination claims and erecting an impossibly high bar for proving an equal protection violation. A related interpretation is that the majority had a “color-consciousness fear” of remedying discrimination through race-remedial policies. In contrast to these conventional views, I argue that the primary anxiety ...
The First Queer Right, Scott Skinner-Thompson Jan 2018
The First Queer Right, Scott Skinner-Thompson
Current legal disputes may lead one to believe that the greatest threat to LGBTQ rights is the First Amendment’s protections for speech, association, and religion, which are currently being mustered to challenge LGBTQ anti-discrimination protections. But underappreciated today is the role of free speech and free association in advancing the well-being of LGBTQ individuals, as explained in Professor Carlos Ball’s important new book, The First Amendment and LGBT Equality: A Contentious History. In many ways the First Amendment’s protections for free expression and association operated as what I label “the first queer right.”

The Constitutional Law Of Incarceration, Reconfigured, Margo Schlanger Jan 2018
The Constitutional Law Of Incarceration, Reconfigured, Margo Schlanger
On any given day, about 2.2 million people are confined in U.S. jails and prisons—nearly 0.9% of American men are in prison, and another 0.4% are in jail. This year, 9 or 10 million people will spend time in our prisons and jails; about 5000 of them will die there. A decade into a frustratingly gradual decline in incarceration numbers, the statistics have grown familiar: We have 4.4% of the world’s population but over 20% of its prisoners. Our incarceration rate is 57% higher than Russia’s (our closest major country rival in ...
Essay: Cooperative Federalism And Federal Takings After The Trump Administration's Border Wall Executive Order, Gerald S. Dickinson Jan 2018
Essay: Cooperative Federalism And Federal Takings After The Trump Administration's Border Wall Executive Order, Gerald S. Dickinson
The Trump Administration’s (arguably) most polemic immigration policy — Executive Order No. 13,767 mandating the construction of an international border wall along the southwest border of the United States — offers a timely and instructive opportunity to revisit the elusive question of the federal eminent domain power and the historical practice of cooperative federalism. From federal efforts to restrict admission and entry of foreign nationals and aliens (the so-called “travel ban”) to conditioning federal grants on sanctuary city compliance with federal immigration enforcement, state and local governments (mostly liberal and Democratic enclaves) today have become combative by resisting a federal ...
Privacy's Double Standards, Scott Skinner-Thompson Jan 2018
Privacy's Double Standards, Scott Skinner-Thompson
Where the right to privacy exists, it should be available to all people. If not universally available, then privacy rights should be particularly accessible to marginalized individuals who are subject to greater surveillance and are less able to absorb the social costs of privacy violations. But in practice, there is evidence that people of privilege tend to fare better when they bring privacy tort claims than do non-privileged individuals. This disparity occurs despite doctrine suggesting that those who occupy prominent and public social positions are entitled to diminished privacy tort protections.
This Article unearths disparate outcomes in public disclosure tort ...
Standing Rock, The Sioux Treaties, And The Limits Of The Supremacy Clause, Carla F. Fredericks, Jesse D. Heibel Jan 2018
Standing Rock, The Sioux Treaties, And The Limits Of The Supremacy Clause, Carla F. Fredericks, Jesse D. Heibel
The controversy surrounding the Dakota Access Pipeline (“DAPL”) has put the peaceful plains of North Dakota in the national and international spotlight, drawing thousands of people to the confluence of the Missouri and Cannonball Rivers outside of Standing Rock Sioux Reservation for prayer and peaceful protest in defense of the Sioux Tribes’ treaties, lands, cultural property, and waters. Spanning over 7 months, including the harsh North Dakota winter, the gathering was visited by indigenous leaders and communities from around the world and represents arguably the largest gathering of indigenous peoples in the United States in more than 100 years.

Federalism, Convergence, And Divergence In Constitutional Property, Gerald S. Dickinson Jan 2018
Federalism, Convergence, And Divergence In Constitutional Property, Gerald S. Dickinson
Federal law exerts a gravitational force on state actors, resulting in widespread conformity to federal law and doctrine at the state level. This has been well recognized in the literature, but scholars have paid little attention to this phenomenon in the context of constitutional property. Traditionally, state takings jurisprudence—in both eminent domain and regulatory takings—has strongly gravitated towards the Supreme Court’s takings doctrine. This long history of federal-state convergence, however, was disrupted by the Court’s controversial public use decision in Kelo v. City of New London. In the wake of Kelo, states resisted the Court’s ...

Terry Stops And Frisks: The Troubling Use Of Common Sense In A World Of Empirical Data, David A. Harris, David Rudovsky
The investigative detention doctrine first announced in Terry v. Ohio and amplified over the past fifty years has been much analyzed, praised, and criticized from a number of perspectives. Significantly, however, over this time period commentators have only occasionally questioned the Supreme Court’s “common sense” judgments regarding the factors sufficient to establish reasonable suspicion for stops and frisks. For years, the Court has provided no empirical basis for its judgments, due in large part to the lack of reliable data. Now, with the emergence of comprehensive data on these police practices, much can be learned about the predictive power ...

Robotic Speakers And Human Listeners, Helen Norton Jan 2018
Robotic Speakers And Human Listeners, Helen Norton
In their new book, Robotica, Ron Collins and David Skover assert that we protect speech not so much because of its value to speakers but instead because of its affirmative value to listeners. If we assume that the First Amendment is largely, if not entirely, about serving listeners’ interests—in other words, that it’s listeners all the way down—what would a listener-centered approach to robotic speech require? This short symposium essay briefly discusses the complicated and sometimes even dark side of robotic speech from a listener-centered perspective.

US Manufacturing Investing in Africa in 2021 Reports Industrial Journalist TR Cutler
Industrial journalist, TR Cutler predicted growth opportunities between the United States and Africa in 2021. According to Cutler, in the past, international companies avoided investing in Africa due to reports of corruption, unsafe business environments, and poor government policies. That is changing. Several organizations and government initiatives include strategies eliminating these concerns while reducing poverty and promoting investments. Read the recent issue Manufacturing Tomorrow here.
During this decade consumer spending in Africa will reach $2.5 trillion; more than 20% of this spending will occur in Sub-Saharan Africa, excluding Africa’s largest markets including Nigeria and countries in South Africa and East Africa. The continent is also experiencing mass urbanization which further increases consumer spending.
Manufacturing will be a significant part of creating and promoting safe, reliable, and sustainable economies which attract international investors, create jobs, and reduce global poverty. The U.S. Government has enacted several policies that promote the development and transformation of economies in Africa.
The role of manufacturing in Africa can be measured in many different ways. A significant data metric includes the increasing number of media outlets covering Africa industry and membership in the Manufacturing Media Consortium, now more than 8000 members. Last year more than 200 media contacts throughout Africa have joined the organization which will be holding events in late 2021 and throughout 2022.
Manufacturing Tomorrow is an online trade magazine featuring products, companies, news, articles, and events for the advanced manufacturing, factory automation, and 3D printing industries.

Employment Law: Discrimination in the Workplace—Cautionary Tale for Employers on Religious Harassment
June 5, 2014 /in Legal Updates, Spring 2014 /by David B. Norris
Although sexual harassment is now a well‑known pitfall for employers, the potential exposure to liability for harassment based on religion often receives less attention. Recent decisions from state and federal courts show, however, that employers must be proactive to avoid potential claims based on religious harassment. See May v. Chrysler Group, LLC, 716 F.3d 963 (7th Cir. 2013); Cowher v. Carson & Roberts, 40 A.3d 1171 (N.J. Super. Ct. App. Div. 2012).
The case of Detail v. Best Chevrolet, Inc., 655 F.3d 435 (5th Cir. 2011), serves as a cautionary example for employers. In that case, a used-car salesman asserted a claim of religious harassment against his former employer. More specifically, he claimed that when his supervisor learned of his request for time off to attend a church event on the morning of July 4, the supervisor declared, “[I]f you go over there, I’ll fire your f‑‑‑ing ass.” Id. at 438. The plaintiff claimed that the supervisor’s preventing him from attending his church on July 4 under the guise of requiring him to be at work had been pretext, because he had been forced to come in early that day, well before anyone else. Further, when the supervisor admonished the plaintiff early that morning to get out on the floor, the plaintiff replied that he was reading his Bible. The supervisor made other disparaging comments related to the plaintiff’s religion, such as “God would not put food on your plate” and “go to your f‑‑‑ing God and see if he can save your job.” Id. The plaintiff alleged that these comments created a hostile environment and resulted in his constructive discharge.
The district court granted summary judgment, finding that these and other comments, which were made over a two‑month period, were stray remarks and did not create a hostile environment. The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals reversed the grant of summary judgment. Although the disparaging comments, considered separately, may not have been sufficiently severe or pervasive to establish an actionable claim, the court explained that a continuous pattern of less severe incidents can create a hostile work environment in violation of Title VII.
A simplistic approach to the issue, such as barring religious expression at work, is more likely to backfire and result in a discrimination claim than it is to insulate an employer from liability. See EEOC v. Univ. of Chi. Hosps., 276 F.3d 326 (7th Cir. 2001) (finding that prohibition of religious articles in office constituted evidence of religious discrimination); Altman v. Minn. Dep’t of Corr., 251 F.3d 1199 (8th Cir. 2001) (finding discrimination based on employer reprimand of Christian employees for expressing religious objection to diversity training related to homosexuality). Thus, employers must be circumspect in the promulgation and enforcement of a policy prohibiting religious harassment in the workplace.

The Seva School saga begs the question – who represents British Sikhs?
July 14th, 2019 | Posted by Singh in Current Issues | Press Releases - (0 Comments)
Back in October 2018, we published a post titled is the All Parliamentary Group (APPG) for British Sikhs truly representative?
The post referred to the issue of Seva School in Coventry, a dispute subsequently covered by Schoolsweek quoting our Director Lord Singh.
Concerned parents had called on the government to intervene in a dispute related to Seva School being compelled to join Nishkam School Trust, a trust which parents said did not fit with their beliefs. Some of the parents independently echoed concerns to our Director, Lord Singh of Wimbledon. He raised it with the APPG for British Sikhs, after all what’s the point of having such a group if it doesn’t consider Sikh interests, or in this instance the concerns of Sikh parents.
As described in our previous post this is an account of what transpired:
By chance I learnt of Tuesday’s AGM and accompanied by Lord Suri, attended the AGM to try to get the Group to issue a statement of concern over the bullying attitude of the Department for Education (DfE) in giving of a 2-week ultimatum to withdraw funding and move to a closure of a Sikh school, Seva School in Coventry unless it agreed to be run by Nishkam. Nishkam is a group regarded by many Sikhs as outside mainstream Sikhism, with a spiritual Head to whom some followers owe total allegiance.
Lord Suri and I were surprised at the poor attendance at the AGM, with one MP brought in for a while to make a quorum. After Preet Gill MP asked the 5 MPs present to confirm her as Chair, I spoke about the widespread concerns of parents, governors, staff, the Council of Gurdwaras in Coventry, the Sikh Council and the Network of Sikh Organisations and others. I also mentioned that an earlier complaint made by me of racist behaviour towards the school (in which Sikh teachings were labelled extremist and negative) had been upheld in an investigation by Sir David Carter a top civil servant with the DfE, with a promise of more supportive behaviour by the minister Lord Nash. Unfortunately, the harassment has continued culminating in a 2-week ultimatum of a cessation of funding unless the school agreed to be run by Nishkam.
Preet Gill MP seemed irritated by both my presence at the meeting, and because I had raised an issue about which she had clearly not been briefed by the Sikh Federation UK, the official secretariat of the APPG. She expressed her admiration of Nishkam. However asking a mainstream Sikh school to join Nishkam with its different ethos, is like asking a Church of England school to join a group led by Jehovah’s Witnesses. She then queried my credentials in raising the widespread concerns of the Sikh community. Ignoring the need for urgent action, she said that she would have to carry out her own investigation and consult local MPs, as if their views counted for more than those of the Coventry Sikh community and two national Sikh bodies.
On 25th March 2019, Preet Gill MP sent an e-mail titled ‘APPG British Sikhs’ in which she talks of Seva School following Lord Singh’s plea on behalf of concerned parents.
She writes, ‘As agreed, I wrote to the DFE and received a full and helpful response from Damian Hinds assuring us that the school would not be closed, and they had asked an outstanding Sikh academy trust to take over.’
NOTE. The request was not for her to write to the DfE, but to contact the Sikh community in Coventry and support them to stop the DfE abusing its authority to force the school to be run by Nishkam, a controversial Sikh sect. She totally ignored Lord Singh’s request to assist the worried Sikh community in Coventry.
A statement from the Board of Trustees (Sevak Education Trust) dated 3rd July says, ‘34 parents brought a legal challenge to the decision made by the Secretary of State for Education on 21 February 2019 to appoint Nishkam Schools Trust (“Nishkam”) as the sponsor for the re-brokerage of Seva School.’
The parents were successful, and the government conceded it had failed in providing alternatives to Nishkam School Trust. They go on to say, ‘This has been an incredibly difficult time for all those associated with the school.’
We are delighted the parents have won their legal battle, but surely this issue could have been resolved amicably sooner without parents having to resort to initiating legal proceedings against the state?
In our view, there are two issues which arise from the Seva School saga. The first relates to improving religious literacy in the DfE and across government circles to get them to appreciate doctrinal differences, and importantly, what is, and is not mainstream Sikh belief.
Secondly, given Preet Gill’s response to the matter, it begs an important question – can she really claim to represent British Sikhs?
APPG British Sikhs, Coventry, Lord Singh, Nishkam, Preet Gill MP, Seva School
Response to misleading ‘APPG British Sikhs update’
March 31st, 2019 | Posted by Singh in Current Issues | Press Releases - (0 Comments)
Preet Gill’s statement dated 25th March 2019 on the work of the APPG contains numerous inaccuracies and distortions. A few examples:
On Seva School Coventry she writes:
‘Lord Singh raised the issue of Seva School. As agreed, I wrote to the DFE and received a full and helpful response from Damian Hinds assuring us that the school would not be closed, and they had asked an outstanding Sikh academy trust to take over. I have been in contact with the regional school’s commissioner.’
The reality:
Correspondence is on record to show that she and the Sikh Federation UK (SFUK) – the APPG’s secretariat, have systematically tried to keep Sikhs in the Lords out of the APPG. Despite this, Lord Singh persuaded Lord Suri, to accompany him to a meeting of the APPG on 9th October 2018, at the request of Seva School to help them in fighting a DfE attempt to force the school to join the non-mainstream Nishkam multi-academy trust, rather than a mainstream Sikh Trust. The parent’s concerns were covered in Schools Week. The DfE were not being helpful as Preet Gill writes; they merely repeated their threat that unless Seva School joined Nishkam, considered a New Religious Movement by many Sikhs, they would close the school down. Preet Gill completely ignored the concerns of the Sikh community detailed by Lord Singh and Lord Suri.
Lord Singh and Lord Suri were made less than welcome at the meeting. In response to a query from Lord Singh as to why Sikhs from the Lords were being excluded from the APPG, Preet Gill said that a letter of invitation had been sent by Pat McFadden. Pat McFadden to his credit, openly disagreed, saying that no invitation had been sent to the Lords. Lord Singh said that the APPG office holders should include someone from the Lords. Preet Gill ignored his suggestion. In the meeting and subsequently, Lord Singh asked for minutes of the meeting be sent to him. Despite several requests, the SFUK which acts as secretariat to the APPG has not done this.
Lord Singh, Lord Suri and Baroness Verma have subsequently made their position clear. They strongly object to the extremist SFUK running an APPG which should be for ALL Sikhs in Parliament and are unwilling to be a part of the APPG while Preet Gill and SFUK are in charge.

Impossible to assign a star rating to a collection that ranges from the briliant to the downright dull One thing strikes me as different from previous years the workshop stories are much interesting and daring than the short list Rotimi Babatunde s contribution leaves everyone else in the dust Honourable mentions also to Pede Hollist, Davina Kawuma and Melissa Tandiwe Myambo for their skill and unique approaches.
Matt Hunt says:
Some really excellent stories in here along with the usual duds but only 2 stars as the typesetting and font somehow combined to be really awful for me to read struggled through as some of the pieces were brill but sadly let down by presentation.

Demersatheca Li et Edwards, gen. nov., a new genus of early land plants from the Lower Devonian, Yunnan Province, China
Li, Cheng-Sen and Edwards, Dianne 1996. Demersatheca Li et Edwards, gen. nov., a new genus of early land plants from the Lower Devonian, Yunnan Province, China. Review of Palaeobotany and Palynology 93 (1-4) , pp. 77-88. 10.1016/0034-6667(95)00120-4
Official URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/0034-6667(95)00120-4
Specimens from the Lower Devonian (possibly Pragian) Posongchong Formation of Wenshan, southeastern Yunnan Province, China, originally described as Zosterophyllum contiguum Li et Cai are reinterpreted and placed in the new combination Demersatheca contigua Li et Edwards, comb. nov. They consist of strobili in which sporangia, inserted decussately, form four vertical rows. The sporangia themselves have two valves, splitting around the convex margin, and are sunk into the strobilar axis such that only the abaxial valves, circular to elliptical in outline, are visible. Their contours are continuous with the surface of the strobilus producing a cylindrical structure. The strobili morphologically most closely resemble those of Zosterophyllum, but more detailed comparison is impossible because of the absence of anatomical information on the Chinese specimens.

The Best Video Game Remakes
Movies and TV shows get remade all the time, but there’s something extra special about a video game remake. Being able to revisit a beloved video game of yesteryear with modern revamped graphics and mechanics is always exciting, especially because it often introduces classic series to brand new audiences. To that end, here are our picks for the top 10 remakes of all time.
Check out the video above, click through the gallery below, or scroll down for the full list!
10. Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening
Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening is not a perfect remake, suffering from some framerate hitching problems in the overworld and some dated design issues that could have used a bit of an update, but those issues seem relatively insignificant when you consider just how gorgeous and joyful this Switch remake is.
Link’s Awakening is one of the most beloved Zelda adventures, one that takes the classic Zelda formula and takes it fully into the realm of dreamlike fantasy, which is something that is enhanced beautifully by the remake’s toy-like art style. More than anything though, the Switch remake introduced a brand new generation to one of Link’s earliest adventures in a way befitting of the classic series.
9. Pokemon HeartGold/SoulSilver
Pokemon Gold and Silver, though only the second in the long-running Pokemon RPG series, are the only entries that allowed players to travel across two different regions and collect 16 badges instead of the standard eight. That meant two “end-game” challenges to conquer, two sets of Legendary Pokemon to collect, sixteen different gym leaders to defeat, and more. The enhanced DS remakes which released 10 years later, Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver, only improve upon Pokemon Gold and Silver, and are still referenced as a favorite, if not the best, of all Pokemon games by many.
8. Half-Life Black Mesa
Half-Life Black Mesa is an interesting remake in that, it’s the rare example of a fan remake that was officially supported by the original developers. And it’s an exceedingly great thing that Valve never shut this one down, because Half-Life Black Mesa is hands-down the best way to experience one of the most important and landmark first-person-shooters in all of video games.
The only downside is that it spent so long in development that by the time it was officially released its updated looks were already dated, but as IGN’s Dan Stapleton says, “it still makes great use of the distinctively creepy atmosphere and excellent combat that left such a mark on this genre.”
7. Spyro Reignited Trilogy
The words “love letter” get thrown around a lot when it comes to long-running franchises, but Spyro Reignited Trilogy feels like just that, a love letter from the developers at Toys for Bob, revisiting the franchise’s origins after having been Spyro’s shepherds primarily in the Skylanders era. But the return to Spyro’s first three adventures is a beautiful recreation of what made those characters and worlds so charming, iconic, and fun to play with modern touches.
Each of the three remade games are brimming with personality just not possible back on the original PlayStation, with tiny environmental details and character updates that bring Spyro’s world to life in rich, beautiful ways. And Toys for Bob keeps the core of Spyro’s fun platforming and collecting intact, not wanting to mess with a good thing, while adding much-appreciated quality of life updates to help make things feel modern. Spyro’s had an interesting journey since his original trilogy, but this remake collection has proven there’s plenty of fire left in that adorable purple dragon.
6. Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes
The 2004 remake of 1998’s Metal Gear Solid took the PS1 masterpiece and modernized it for the GameCube. While the development team at Silicon Knights may have gone a little too hard on some of the cutscene action, The Twin Snakes not only provides a spectacular graphical overhaul – look, Snake has eyes now! – but also redesigned the entire game to feature the mechanics from Metal Gear Solid 2.
Adding abilities like being able to hang off of ledges, peek around corners, and – perhaps most importantly – shoot in first-person offered players far more flexibility to navigate an area, and coupled with the enhanced enemy AI, even veterans of the PSX version got a fresh look at Snake’s first 3D adventure.
5. Metroid: Zero Mission
The original Metroid for the NES was a groundbreaking game for the time, but when looked at through a modern lens, it’s hard to argue that it holds up. Fortunately, Metroid: Zero Mission exists. Rather than opting for a 100% faithful remake with a couple of modernization tweaks, Metroid: Zero Mission is instead a game rebuilt from the ground up that uses the original Metroid as more of a blueprint for its story and level design, and instead draws its gameplay inspirations from the more modern 2D Metroids, like Super Metroid and Metroid Fusion. It’s an expertly crafted modernization of one of Nintendo’s best mascot series that still holds up to this day as not only one of the best Metroid games, but also one of the best remakes as well.
4. Resident Evil Remake
When it comes to faithful remakes that largely stick to the core gameplay and design established in the original and focus instead on bringing everything else up to modern standards, there aren’t many games that are better than the original Resident Evil Remake. The REmake adheres to everything that was intrinsic to the original game, from the pre-rendered backgrounds, to the tank controls, to the limited inventory that forces you to make tough decisions on what to keep and what to toss, but then it also adds several entirely new features that change up the experience and give it it’s own identity.
Whether its the terrifying addition of Crimson Heads that force you to rethink whether it’s worth killing a zombie if you don’t have a way to set it on fire, or the brand new plot thread involving Lisa Trevor. Resident Evil’s remake shines because not only was it a faithful remake that brought a PSOne classic into a modern light, but also because of the ways that it separated itself from that classic to become something even better.
3. Ratchet and Clank
Ratchet and Clank’s 2016 reboot/remake is a fascinating, fun, and unexpected refresh of the franchise’s origins. A retelling of the titular duo’s origin story, meant to be paired with the far less successful film adaptation that same year, the PS4 exclusive manages to do just about everything right as a remake and a fun game in its own right.
Insomniac has smartly updated and modernized Ratchet’s gameplay feel on the PS4, following in the footsteps of everything the studio did in sequels after the original game. And in taking a new crack (in time) at the story, it tells the origin with fresh humor, better pacing and writing, and actually takes all the years of franchise storytelling to better form Ratchet and Clank’s bond from the jump. The series has been quiet since the 2016 debut, until the upcoming Rift Apart that is, but the remake was an amazing new jumping on point and a wonderful return to what made the duo so beloved to begin with.
2. Final Fantasy 7 Remake
Sure, we could argue whether or not Square-Enix was right in splitting up Final Fantasy 7’s remake into multiple games, but if you judge this first game in the Final Fantasy Remake series on its own merits, it’s incredible.
This is a stunningly gorgeous game that gives new life to some of gaming’s most memorable characters and settings, but more than that, it completely revamps the combat system to be something completely new, and yet still somehow still evocative of the original. There’s good reason to be disappointed that the remake’s story only covers about 30% of the original game, but the way in which FF7 Remake dives into that 30% and expands upon things like Jessie’s backstory, life in the Sector 7 slums, and Cloud’s relationship with his fellow avalanche buddies is absolutely exemplary.
1. Resident Evil 2 Remake
Resident Evil 2 took what the original did so well – its labyrinthian level design, its ostentatious enemies, its omnipresent sense of dread – and molded it into a horror experience designed for modern audiences. Environments are cleverly reworked and expanded upon, enemies are faster, deadlier, and more unpredictable, and gorgeous lighting built in the RE Engine casts shadows over nasties waiting to grab you unawares.
Perhaps Resident Evil 2’s biggest achievement, though, is the way Capcom has played with the original’s most iconic encounters. When you think you’ve got a terrifying moment figured out, Capcom will twist it ever so slightly, removing any certainty as you slowly make your way through its carefully curated collection of memories. This is a remake designed to both terrify you in today’s horror landscape and scratch that nostalgic itch, and miraculously achieves both right until its breathless end. The new gold standard for remakes.
And that’s our list! Obviously, with only 10 spots, there are plenty of remakes that didn’t quite make the cut. Let us know in the comments what would make your list that’s not on ours!

More booboos
There really is a problem with this government under Noynoy. It jumps to conclusions much too easily, then later, with a rotten egg on its face, the same government quickly changes its tune, but not before causing diplomatic ties to deteriorate.
In the case of Jordanian journalist Baker Atyani and his two Filipino crew, for over a week, Noynoy, his aides, Jesse Robredo, his military and police along with the Sulu Gov. Sakur Tan, insisted that he was neither missing nor abducted by the Abu Sayyaf, while announcing that Atyani is an Abu Sayyaf conduit and that no rescue operations would be launched.
Where they based their conclusion that Atyani is in cahoots with the terrorist group is, as claimed by Noynoy and his aides, due to the fact that Atyani had been to the country at least three times and interviewed the Abu Sayyaf, plus the fact that that he had interviewed Osama bin Laden before the US Seals assassinated the former al-Qaeda leader.
Naturally, after the Jordanian government, through its foreign ministry, confirmed that its national had been kidnapped by the terrorist group, Noynoy and his aides suddenly admitted that Atyani and his crew have been kidnapped, but in trying to save face, they insisted that the journalist went there voluntarily. What crap they spew. Why would a journalist tell, or even ask the government for permission to interview the Abu Sayyaf?.... MORE

Now is Noynoy’s chance to play hardball with China now that a Filipino fisherman has died after a fishing boat was supposedly rammed by what the Filipino boat crew identified as Chinese in an incident that happened very close to Scarborough Shoal where a standoff ensued between Philippine and Chinese vessels over rival territorial claims.
The incident happened well within Philippine territory, off Bolinao, Pangasinan, where there was no reason for a Chinese vessel to be present in the area, much more for it to ram a Filipino vessel.
It seems that without American imprimatur, Noynoy cannot act on his own in defending the country’s boundaries.
The standoff at Scarborough Shoal happened shortly after Noynoy received the Philippine Navy’s first decent warship for ages, a decommissioned cutter of the US Coast Guard, which was named BRP Gregorio del Pilar. As soon as the cutter arrived in the country, it sailed off to the disputed shoal to supposedly arrest Chinese fishermen who have long been using the shoal along with their Filipino counterparts without any trouble.
The sudden appearance of a Navy warship in the disputed area touched off heated diplomatic exchanges between the Philippines and China, with both sides maintaining the presence of government-owned vessels in the area..... MORE

Moody's cuts ratings of 28 Spanish banks
Ratings agency Moody's has cut the ratings of 28 Spanish banks following a June 13 downgrade of Spain's sovereign rating by three notches.
The banks' long-term debt and deposit ratings have been downgraded by one to four notches. The rating of Bankia, one the country’s largest banks, has been cut to junk status.
Moody’s cited two main factors behind the move: the agency’s assessment of Spain's reduced creditworthiness, and an “expectation that the banks' exposures to commercial real estate (CRE) will likely cause higher losses, which might increase the likelihood that these banks will require external support.”....

Joseph Estrada, on Dolphy
President Erap’s daughter Jackie Ejercito and husband Beaver Lopez hosted our lunch get-together in their new house last Sunday. We were told the next mayor of Manila would be a little late owing to the mass at San Juan, for it was also “Araw ng San Juan”. Soon enough he was jauntily walking in, attired in trademark orange polo shirt, and matching orange Converse rubber shoes.
And then it was lunch.
Talk naturally drifted to Dolphy, for even those who barely knew him wanted to know how he was doing. Someone volunteered overhearing that Eddie Garcia was not keen on seeing his fellow Sampaguita Pictures contract actor on the sickbed, although later on in the day Garcia ended up dropping by to see the well-loved comedian at the Intensive Care Unit, after the healing mass at the hospital.
“I didn’t want to see Dolphy bed-ridden, too.” Erap said. “But I visited him to stop malicious talk that I didn’t care what was happening to him, kasi raw galit ako at him dahil nag-Villar siya in 2010. That’s not true. Of course I care about him. Puwede bang hindi, e maski matanda siya sa akin, kami halos ang magkakapanahon niyan sa industry. Iba ang pulitika, iba ang long-standing friendship. Mahal ko si Dolphy, tapos.”.... MORE
‘Red International’ splits AN OUTSIDERS VIEW Ken Fuller 06/27/2012
‘Red International’ splits
AN OUTSIDERS VIEW
Ken Fuller
Two weeks ago, in the first part of this account, we identified three kinds of splits in the labor movement — the party-political split, the split influenced by employers, and the split engineered by government. Last week, there was the split caused by labor-leader paternalism, or the desire to escape it — for the TUPAS-FSM split might be seen as an example of this. (At the lower levels of the movement there must have been countless undocumented examples of this kind of split over the years, along with those caused by personality differences and the careerism of leaders.)
We might also add that while not necessarily causing splits, foreign funding like that advanced by the Asian-American Free Labor Institute has acted as a means of fencing off conservative organizations from their more progressive brethren. And finally, we have the example of the post-1993 splits, which we might dub the “Red International” type of split. This requires some explanation.
Following the Russian Revolution in 1917, a number of communist-led organizations were established on an international level with the aim of gaining influence in the labor and peasant movements. One such organization was the Red International of Labor Unions (RILU), established in 1921. As the international communist movement entered its most sectarian period (characterized by the slogan “class against class”), the RILU saw the aim of communists as attempting to win the support of the labor movement in their own country for the cause of revolution, and if the existing trade unions could not so be won, to establish “red alternatives.”....

Apart from allowing armed foreign troops and bases into the country, on claims that the bases and American servicemen’s “visits” are temporary and on a “rotational’ basis despite the United States bases in Mindanao being virtually permanent, President Aquino has again violated the Constitution when it allowed another United States nuclear-powered vessel to enter Philippine territory.
The nuclear-powered submarine yesterday docked in Subic Bay for a supposed routine port call — the second such “visit” by US attack seacraft since the standoff between the Philippines and China over the disputed Scarborough Shoal erupted last April.
Article ll, Section 8 of the 1987 Philippine Constitution, under State policies, mandated by the Filipino people, states that the “Philippines, consistent with the national interest, adopts and pursues a policy of freedom from nuclear weapons in its territory.”.... MORE

Palace warned vs SoVFA push as Aussie military faces abuse probe
Malacaang should be cautious in pushing the immediate ratification by the Senate of the proposed Status of Visiting Forces Agreement (SoVFA) with Australia amid news reports on record of numerous cases of physical and sexual abuse of minors, supposedly committed by members of the Australian armed forces.
An article that came out in the New York Times last June 15 said Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard raised the possibility of a high-level public inquiry or convening a royal commission, a major investigative body occasionally used by some countries of the Commonwealth, to investigate sensitive public issues.
The matter has come to the attention of Senators Gregorio Honasan and Joker Arroyo and both urged the Executive department to exercise caution before having the SoVFA rushed for plenary approval..... MORE
Disini firms up libel suit vs ex-CJ Panganiban By Charlie V. Manalo 06/27/2012
Disini firms up libel suit vs ex-CJ Panganiban
By Charlie V. Manalo 06/27/2012
Having already been cleared from various Bataan Nuclear Power Plant (BNPP) deal-related charges, businessman Herminio Disini has tightened the noose on the libel case he had filed against former Chief Justice-turned-columnist Artemio Panganiban for his repeated use of the phrase “go between” in reference to him in one of his column articles.
Included in the libel suit filed by Disini is the Philippine Daily Inquirer.
In his Reply-Affidavit to Respondents’ Counter-Affidavits last Friday, he said “Mr. Panganiban ascribed to me the commission of a crime, particularly corruption of a public official and violation of the Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act, when he described me as Westinghouse’s ‘go between’ with, and a ‘close personal associate of former President Ferdinand Marcos.’”....

Money, Corona topbill Noy’s 3rd Sona
By Fernan J. Angeles 06/27/2012
In what appears to be a sneak preview of his third State of the Nation Address (Sona), no less than the main man on center stage hinted “money” and “crown” as the highlights when he opens Congress sessions in the third week of July.
In a speech before administering the oath-taking of the Liberal Party’s newest members in Baguio City, President Aquino hinted that the financial capability of the present government to promptly deliver services and provide immediate help to its constituents gave it distinction from the previous administrations.
“I am not saying that our country is drowning in cash but we now have the capability to give to our bosses what is due them all at once, without favoring anyone and in the quickest time possible,” Aquino told his audience at the Benguet State University..... MORE
Palawan Council: ABS-CBN, 18 local execs broke SEP Law 06/27/2012
Palawan Council: ABS-CBN, 18 local execs broke SEP Law
For occupying and converting Sabsaban Falls into an eco-tourism resort without a clearance from the Palawan Council Sustainable Development (PCSD), charges have been filed against the ABS-CBN Foundation (ACF) and 18 local government officials, PCSD legal chief Adel Belena said.
Belena said the ACF-Bantay Kalikasan, which occupied the falls within the timberland in Brookes’ Point, Palawan and converted them into a resort violated Administrative Order (AO) 6. The case marked as Administrative Case 438 is now pending with the PCSD Adjudication Board (PAB).
AO 6 provides the implementing rules and regulations of Republic Act 7611 or the Strategic Environmental Plan (SEP) for Palawan Act. The order requires a SEP clearance for all projects affecting the environment and natural resources of Palawan, including government projects..... MORE

Miriam pushes RH bill to June brides
All newlyweds should consider it a moral duty to observe reproductive health during marriage, Sen. Miriam Defensor Santiago said at a posh Cebu City wedding.
Santiago, as principal wedding sponsor and guest speaker last Saturday, exhorted a newly married couple to “follow the RH paradigm” at a five-star hotel wedding reception attended by some of the most prominent Cebu City families.
“Reproductive health is the new wave of the future. The critics are flaying a dead horse. To mix metaphors, the critics are missing the boat. In the 2013 elections, the voters will educate the non-educable,” said Santiago..... MORE
Makati City strengthens ban on synthetic packaging materials 06/27/2012
Makati City strengthens ban on synthetic packaging materials
The City of Makati will deploy 45 teams from the Plastic Monitoring Task Force (PMTF) to inspect 738 establishments starting June 26 to inspect their stock inventory of plastic and other non-biodegradable materials and evaluate their compliance with the Solid Waste Management Code of Makati.
Mayor Jejomar Erwin Binay said Chapter 9 of the code, also known as City Ordinance 2003-095, gives food and retail establishments nine years to dispose of all their stocks of plastics, styrofoam and similar materials and to replace them with environment-friendly materials.
“We are now in the ninth year of implementing the ordinance, so we believe we have given establishments enough time to prepare for the full phase-out being required of them. The new executive order (EO) I issued recently has, in fact, extended the deadline to June 20, 2013,” Binay said..... MORE

...and your dream comes true.
Somehow I thought Little Richard would live forever, almost - he always seemed perennially young in some way. Whereas Elvis seemed pretty old when he died at 42, basically the same age as me, the youth of Little Richard as well as the fire in Jerry Lee Lewis would see them both outlive their peers. Now only Jerry Lee remains of that first generation. Their legacy is so huge, it’s immeasurable. RIP the Georgia Peach.
Wouldn't it be nice if we were older, then we wouldn't have to wait so long
And wouldn't it be nice to live together, in the kind of world where we belong?

Yes, Richard always seemed so energetic, so full of fire, just brimming with life. I saw a video of him a couple years ago on a Seventh Day Adventist channel, no wig, no makeup, no flashy clothes...I didn't recognize him. He looked good for an 80-something man, he was still funny, but he couldn't move, confined to a wheelchair. Old age is no fun. But he kept Father Time at bay for several decades.
I'm glad he lived long enough to receive the honors he so deeply deserved.

I'd assumed Richard and Jerry Lee were immortal--not so, it seems.
My first memory of Little Richard was hearing his raucous version of "Baby Face" on the radio as a kid in 1959. (I see it reached #2 in the UK.)
Four years later I heard the even more raucous flipside in a musical instrument store in my home town--at ear-splitting volume. Ooo mah soul!!

Newslflash updates for July 2010
Regular updates from the global world of pharmacy.
Access and click on the title links that are illustrated.
The New Competitors- Wholesalers, Manufacturers, Pharmacists and Nurses
As manufacturers get pressure from funders of their products such as the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) in Australia, they will look at reducing costs in the supply chain.
Quite commonly this will take the form of direct distribution to pharmacies (and other business formats) rather than through wholesalers.
Wholesalers in turn face a series of challenges that includes developing a range of efficiencies, the battle for pharmacy numbers, manufacturer strategy, generic strategy and vertical integration. However, this may not be enough and wholesalers may need to develop a strategy involving industry dynamics.
While there will be modest industry growth over the next decade, new products will not be the major generator and research indicates that growth of branded products will be driven by primary care.
English Pharmacists See Opportunity - Australian Pharmacists Hesitate
The health systems of England and Australia have many similarities.
However, one NHS rule that we have escaped here in Australia is the 48-hour waiting time guarantee for a GP appointment.
Introduced by the former Labor government, it is now being scrapped as an initiative of the new government to eliminate bureaucracy and targets that had no clinical justification.
Patients in England will no longer be guaranteed a GP appointment within 48 hours under a scaling back of all NHS targets.
Instead, doctors will be allowed to prioritise patients, affecting up to 189 million consultations a year.
Remote Dispensing Expands Globally
Peter Sayers
Systems for dispensing prescriptions remotely have been available in Australia for some time, but have yet to gain traction.
These systems are characterised by having a TV link to a “live” pharmacist who is located remotely from the machine.
One of the first remote dispensing machines built using Australian technology and manufacture was ExpressRx.
How to measure competence?
Dr Linda Bryant (PGDipPharm, MPharm, DPharm(Auck), FACPP, FNZCP, FPSNZ, MCAPA)
The concept of ensuring that our workforce is competent is an excellent idea. At a time of rapidly changing clinical information, our undergraduate degree of 30 years ago (now doesn’t that make you feel old!!) is simply inadequate. For those of us that went to University we learned Knowledge, Understanding, Thinking and problem solving. The rest of us were taught on the job. Our work experience, built on this foundation, helped make us competent. The problem is – measuring that competence over time.
Community pharmacy’s crystal ball is fogging up
Neil Retallick
At the Generics Conference held in Sydney a couple of years ago, when PBS Reforms I was the Government’s latest and greatest initiative to contain the cost of the PBS, a number of speakers addressed the impending impact of WADP or Weighted Average Disclosed Pricing.
Two of these speakers had developed mathematical models to chart the revenue and gross profit dollars that would be generated in the dispensaries of community pharmacies over the following years through to 2012 and 2013. In both instances, the speakers presented data that showed the dispensary revenue and gross profit lines decreasing quite dramatically as the effects of WADP took hold of PBS medicine prices.
These soothsayers saw gloom and doom in their crystal balls, or their spreadsheets if that’s what they preferred to use.
Quackery, Skeptics and Acupuncture….
The reaction to the little piece about Naturopathy and my doctor (published in a June i2P update) has caused some not entirely surprising flame bursting by those who believe a remedy must be science based.
Hmmm, a good point.
Well, we are past July 1 and there has been no official statement on how, when and where the 15 cent payment for electronic prescriptions materialises.
Government does not appear to have specified how it wants a pharmacy claim presented, and system vendors may not have included a module to create an acceptable audit trail as yet.
In the midst of change – everything remains the same
Pharmacist survival strategies have essentially remained the same for well over a century.
In simple terms when pressure is applied to dispensary margins more OTC opportunities are developed.
A conscious decision is made to expand the range of inventory items in niche markets and then key items are discounted to expand market share within that new market.
Sublime treachery, delivered par excellence
It’s probably all been said but that astonishing ascent of the Member for Lalor Julia Gillard has nailed yet another nail in the coffin of our long cherished democracy.
Again, the power-crazed toe-cutters of the Labor Party were unable to muster the restraint required to allow an elected comrade see out the full game.
The bitter hatred (which is often factional but not necessarily in this case) that lurks behind closed doors was just too much. In the end those who read from the Graham Richardson manual on dealing with personnel superfluous to current requirements acted with rare brutality and “Kevin 07” became “Kevin gone to political Heaven” in a blink.
Cutting Carbon with Hydrogen Batteries
TELSTRA'S mobile base stations and some exchanges could soon be backed up by energy efficient hydrogen fuel cells that promise to deliver a 20 per cent carbon emissions reduction compared with the diesel generators currently in use.
The RACGP announces its new President
The Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP) is pleased to announce the appointment of Professor Claire Jackson as President-elect.
Professor Jackson is a GP and GP Supervisor in Inala, Brisbane and is Professor in General Practice and Primary Health Care and Head of Discipline at the University of Queensland. She has been chair of the RACGP Council and the RACGP Queensland Faculty. She has had significant involvement in health reform in many areas, serving on the National Primary Care Strategy Expert Advisory Group and providing a commissioned paper for the National Health and Hospital Reform Commission.
Outliving most of the world, but not healthy in every way, says nation’s health report card
The national health report card released by the AIHW gives a pointer as to where primary health care funds are going to be directed to, and a guide as to what "specialties" will need to be invested in by pharmacists.
And following similar lines, the education that will need to be provided to back those specialties.
A systematic approach to developing and marketing pharmacy clinical services is long overdue, and leadership is stagnant.
In practical terms - probably nothing until after the next federal elections, but that gives a small window of opportunity for our lead pharmacy organisations to work out a plan of action and support each other in the process.
Political game playing, whether at the local, state or federal levels, is crippling initiative in all sectors of the economy - but in particular, health.
And pharmacy needs to attract some urgent funding to initiate some primary health care projects that can soak up some of the surplus graduates before it is too late, and we lose these valuable human resources.
It would also be interesting to know what impact existing pharmacy activities contribute to the report card statistics.
Reviewing the Pharmacist Code of Ethics
Renewing the code of ethics for pharmacists in the wake of the recent changes to healthcare legislation will be among the topics considered at a wide-ranging ethics conference at the University of Sydney (17-18 June 2010)
World-renowned ethics expert and Laureate Professor Peter Singer will deliver a keynote address on World Poverty: What are our obligations?
The Australian Association for Professional and Applied Ethics conference is being hosted by the Faculty of Pharmacy, under the theme Ethics in the Professional Life: Past, Present and Future.
Study finds antidepressants not working in older men
A recently published study in the journal PLoS-One has found that more than half of older men who use antidepressant medication or psychotherapy are not responding to treatment.
Lead author, Professor Osvaldo Almeida, Research Director of the Western Australian Centre for Health and Ageing at The University of Western Australia, said the finding was surprising and alarming.
Tests help predict falls by Parkinson’s sufferers
A group of tests may help predict which people with Parkinson's disease are more likely to fall, according to a study by Queensland University of Technology (QUT).
The study results were published recently in the American Academy of Neurology's online medical journal Neurology®.
Cling Wrap Catches Carbon Dioxide
High tech cling wraps that ‘sieve out’ carbon dioxide from waste gases can help save the world, says Melbourne University chemical engineer, Colin Scholes who developed the technology.
Tea tree oil offers hope to skin cancer patients
Tea tree oil may be used in future as a fast, cheap, safe and effective treatment for non-melanoma skin cancers and precancerous lesions, according to researchers at The University of Western Australia.
A three-year study by the University of Western Australia Tea Tree Oil Research Group has found solid tumours grown under the skin in mice and treated with a tea tree oil formulation causes inhibition of tumour growth and tumour regression within a day of treatment. Within three days, the tumours cannot be detected.
NPS Replaces TAIS Service
NPS will discontinue funding the Therapeutic Advice and Information Service (TAIS) for health professionals as of 1 July 2010.
A guide to medicines information resources has been compiled on the NPS website which can be accessed via the health professional web page. Please note that some of the listed resources are freely available and others for a subscription fee.

Consultant Pharmacists Freed Up
The following press release issued by the AACP confirms changes to the HMR model that will at last see an opportunity to professionally collaborate with GP’s and to build a relationship with hospitals.That it has taken so long to deliver the obvious is sad.
But not to dwell on any negatives, it now frees up consultant pharmacists to develop independent business models to deliver services in a more economical, timely and streamlined fashion.
It may also open a secondary market for e-document exchanges capable of quickly sharing information for intended recipients.
Vitamin C plays vital role in battle against cancer
New research from the University of Otago, Christchurch, shows that vitamin C can help curb the growth of cancer cells.
The study, led by Associate Professor Margreet Vissers of the University’s Free Radical Research Group, is the first real evidence of a connection between vitamin C and tumour growth.
Associate Professor Vissers says “Our results offer a promising and simple intervention to help in our fight against cancer, at the level of both prevention and cure”.
The article is in the latest edition of the prestigious Cancer Research journal.
Gut flora study gives insight into obesity
A UQ academic's research into whether nature or nurture influences the development of gut flora has been published in Nature and may hold the key to understanding obesity.
Dr Florent Angly said the fundamental research was significant since some forms of obesity could be caused by the action of microbiota.
At last - a peak national pharmacy group in formation
A forum initiative developed by the Pharmaceutical Society of Australia (PSA) has seen discussion on the early stages of the first truly representative peak national pharmacy body.
It is presumed, when eventually formalised, that this body will be capable of generating national policies that will bind its membership and provide a cohesive single face for the "whole of pharmacy".
It is also presumed that this group will have provision to absorb emerging and new pharmacy organisations.
PSA is to be congratulated on taking the lead role in the establishment of the initial forum that is certain to win support by all pharmacists in whatever sector they work in.
In the current climate of severe political and commercial pressures on pharmacy, one wonders why it has not happened a lot earlier than this, because the disparate ambitions of various pharmacy organisations up to now has definitely worked against the best interests of the pharmacy profession as a whole.
i2P has often commented on this issue and the need for a peak body that is truly representative of pharmacy.
Youth lead the adoption of e-health
The ‘net’ generation, spanning 13 to 33 year olds, has embraced technology as the norm and is expected to adopt e-health as just par for the course in their highly connected lives according to several leading youth health experts.
Jonathan Nicholas, Chief Executive Officer of the Inspire Foundation, the organisation behind the web-based mental health support service for young people, ReachOut.com said, “As an organisation that uses the internet to connect with young people, we see a number of benefits for young people flowing from the proposed e-health record.
US ‘Renaissance’ in pharmacy’s role as a vital health resource
Pharmacists in Australia may be forgiven for feeling invisible as they search for roles and activities that gainfully utilise their experience and skills.
New projects and programs often mention "allied health" and nurses, but not pharmacists.
There are probably two major reasons for this problem:
* The Pharmacy Guild of Australia (PGA) has allocated resources exclusively to PBS-centric activities.
This has led to a reduction in jobs for new pharmacists and a surplus human resource. This is in stark contrast to all other health professions that seek to increase their practitioner numbers.
* GP lobby groups have promoted the use of practice nurses in key areas normally in the pharmacy domain. This has had the effect of increasing the number of "short" consultations, with the GP providing evaluation and the practice nurse to complete the work.
GP lobby groups have also been active in suppressing pharmacy initiatives particularly in the concept area of medication continuance.
In the US the opposite is occurring, mainly because of the fractured health service that exists in that country. However, while it can be said that Australia's health system may be better, it seems to be dysfunctional for the moment.
This may represent an opportunity for pharmacy if it can be properly articulated to politicians.
It appears that governments only turn to pharmacy when they need bailing out.
The end result always sees pharmacy disadvantaged as policies and promises are inevitably changed.
The following story recently appeared in Drug Store News
Complementary and alternate medicines
There are many views held in pharmacy as to the efficacy and value of complementary and alternate medicines.
At i2P we endeavour to cater for all perspectives by publishing the views of skeptics such as Loretta Marron, who takes a “no holds barred” approach, and insist that the only perspective for medical professionals to prescribe/sell drugs be evidence-based.
On the other side, we recently published an article by Chris Wright (a regular i2P author), who is not a pharmacist but has a good working knowledge of pharmacy.
He opted to take acupuncture treatment from his GP instead of consuming anti-inflammatory drugs.
His GP gave him the choice.
Chris’s article drew strong comments from the “evidence-based perspective”.
(Follow this link to view comments at the end of the article)
Chris chose acupuncture because he felt it would work for him.
i2P asked Mark Coleman to make a comment which appears below the news item that originally appeared in Pharmacy News on June 24 2010.
Acupuncture is mentioned in the last line of that news item.
Peter Sayers is vitally concerned about pharmacy professional practice - its innovation, its research and development, and its delivery to create an ongoing revenue stream. Delivery of healthcare is increasingly involved with Information Technology systems. All perspectives in IT must be considered for the impact on pharmacy practice and its viability.
One aspect the government is certain about and that is there is no payment for a manually loaded script entered into a system like eRx, and that electronic scripts for payment must have originated from a GP software system and been uploaded electronically.
For the moment, the majority of scripts entered manually into the eRx system cannot be distinguished from those uploaded by GP systems. Even with the best of goodwill pharmacists will not be able to separate the two forms of prescriptions once lodged with an electronic hub such as eRx.
Pharmacies must either claim all prescriptions are electronic and claim for everything or alternatively, claim for none given that they will be unable to prove the origin of a script once it is entered within the system.
The other alternative is to find a vendor that can deliver an appropriate audit trail and verification system.
But will the majority of GP’s your patients deal with be registered on that system if indeed one exists at the moment?
While an electronic prescription definition exists within the Fifth Community Pharmacy Agreement, its definition is too loose.
If pharmacists claimed for all the scripts they normally entered into their PBS general claim how can government currently disprove this?
One government spokesman is quoted as saying “Medicare will be watching and auditing for inappropriate behaviour by pharmacists.”
But how will government define and actually prove inappropriate behaviour is contained in a claim for the 15 cent payment per script?
They have no way of knowing where the script came from.
And neither does the claiming pharmacist!
When this was pointed out to the government spokesman he responded “he hoped that pharmacists would do the right thing”, otherwise “the practice of manually uploading and then claiming after downloading was a problem which would need to be addressed else it could 'inadvertently' lead to fraudulent claims.”
With this level of decision-making it is little wonder government has wasted so much money on e.health and that bewildered vendors spend countless hours on providing solutions (at their own cost) trying to fill government gaps.
Meanwhile, coalface pharmacies could be waiting forever for payment given the apparent indifference by government in providing a solution.
There can only really be one fair decision – government should pay 15 cents on all PBS prescriptions immediately until they can properly specify a solution for vendors to follow and implement.
Don't hold your breath.

On Thursday Oct. 27 nineteen members from the College Radio Day committee attended an official visit to the White House, in Washington DC.
The university’s represented on the trip included William Paterson University in New Jersey, Montclair State University in New Jersey, St. Xavier University in Pennsylvania, University of Texas at Arlington, University of Colorado Boulder, Texas Tech University, East Stroudsburg University in Pennsylvania, Neumann University in Pennsylvania, Grand Valley State University in Michigan and Boston College.
ESU was represented by WESS station manager Jillian Deiley.
“The overall experience was one I’ll probably never have again. It’s one thing to go to the White House and take a tour, but to receive an official invitation as press is something I, nor anyone in my family, will probably ever experience again,” said Deiley.
Members met with White House Domestic Policy Council, Cecilia Munoz, for a briefing on college spending and affordability.
They then met with White House Senior Advisor, Brian Deese, for a briefing on Climate Change.
Finally, they met with John Ernst, the White House press release secretary for the Obama administration for a 30-minute gaggle, an off the record chat about the insides of his job, followed by a thirty-minute briefing on White House public relations and press.
Although members did not get to meet the President they did run into several members of the white house press staff, including members from FOX, CNN, and CBS news outlets, as well as the Obama family dog, a poodle mix named Bo.
“The most riveting person we met was a camera guy from CBS,” said Deiley. “He had worked from the Carter Administration to the Obama Administraion.”
“He spoke to us with much more realism about politics, government and his experiences compared to the governmental officials we met.”
The College Radio Board was invited to support young journalist in the field of broadcasting and nine of the attending members were students from the aforementioned universities.
After each briefing the floor was opened for questions as an opportunity for the students to exercise their journalistic abilities in a professional setting.
Through this experience the College Radio Day board hopes to encourage all young journalist to continue to work and grow at their craft.
At the end of the visit, the College Radio Day Board was presented with an official letter of recognition from President, Barack Obama, recognizing College Radio Day as a holiday, held on Nov. 4 this year, and the importance of college radio in the media world.
At ESU on Nov. 4 90.3 WESS will be hosting a College Radio Day Celebration at the Shawnee Quad starting at noon

I've been thinking about what separates serial killers, like Jeffrey Dahmer in particular, from neets, otaku, waifuists and other such people. Those who don't know anything about Dahmer's personality assume he had aspd(psycopath), but there's more to suggest he had some cluster a disorder. From what I gathered, he didn't commit violence for its own sake, but as a means to use people for sexual gratification and company. He desperately wanted permanent company and a dead body could not abandon him, he killed people when they wanted to leave. What he really wanted though was a mindless slave to be his companion.
On a surface level, some qualities seem shared like a fixation on certain topics, loneliness, inability and or lack of desire to form normal relationships, poor impulse control, living in an internal world and perhaps less than average emotional empathy. Multiple people on tonho-chan have also wrote that they either suspect they are a schizoid or have been diagnosed as one. So if anything, what's that key difference? Is it just better impulse control? Different sexual tastes? More empathy? Different circumstances? Could it be that being more misanthropic decreases the chances a person will kill others for some gratification? Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but I'd like to cut through the moralizing and get to some kind of answer.

I think there's probably different types of serial killers each with their own class of motivations. But focusing on your particular example, for instance, I've often dreamed of having a maid/pseudo-slave as a companion but these are confined to 2D fantasy illusions rather than something with the will to be reified.
Part of the difference might be the aversion to 3D people (and associated misanthropy as you mentioned) which would make real-world killings moot. A second aspect might be inhibitions: a serial killer must be able to lower his inhibitions and be willing to confront people in order to carry out his actions. While you could argue that neets et al. have no issues breaking societal rules in the context of online interactions, I'm not sure that directly translates to real-world interactions. (much in the same way that Japanese people supposedly have a codified distinction between honne/tatemae).
Finally in terms of objectives, I think drawing attention to oneself is exactly the opposite of what most neets want (since after all we flock to anonymous boards).

Look up the list of famous schizoid people on Wikipedia and you'll see that most of them are murderers, the most common theme being political assassinations:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:People_with_schizoid_personality_disorder
Lone-wolf political assassins usually think that they are changing the world for the better by killing an evil person. However, when you're so disinterested in 3D world affairs or dislike people so much that you don't care what happens to them, there is no impetus for you to do such a thing.

For what I read Dahmer was schyzotypal, not schizoid, that's a completely different kind of fucked up.
I'm really into serial killers but I don't see any particular relation with our kind. First, I suspect there's different kinds of serial killers, Albert Fish, Ted Bundy, Ed Gein or Edmund Kemper seem too different to me. Some are true evil and like to exercise power, others are just sick, really damaged persons, or suffer uncontrollable impulses. But a serial killer can be a chad with a succesful social life too.
I think the act of killing can't be easy, and to do it individually and without a context that will aprove your acts (like a war) isn't something everyone can do, but a minority.
You need to be able to exercise violence, to not experience remorse at an incapacitating degree, to be motivated, to not be afraid of the consequences. Personally I fail in all of those. Curiously I had dreams about me being a serial killer, some of them I still remember today because other reasons, but I relate those to other aspects and not violent impulses latent inside me.
I think schizoids tend to have ideas not shared by a majority, particularly in the political spectrum, so that goes well with that. I don't think a political assassination has anything to do with a serial killer murder. I also think I remember reading schizoids can often have a general distaste for violence.

>true evil
I don't believe in such a thing. I think a certain combination of desires, lack of inhibition, lack of certain cognitive abilities and life circumstances are all it takes to make a person who would kill others for gratification. Calling someone evil insinuates that regardless of their circumstances their crimes were inevitable. To me that's presumptuous and a cop out for people who want a metaphysical barrier between them and killers.
I don't believe in moral relativism and I think that metaphysical barrier exists.
And I think there's true evil. There's disturbed damaged invididuals, victims themselves, like Ed Gein, there's the pathetic, petty evil, like Chikatilo. And there's the pure evil, the ones that do their atrocities for the sake of evil. And they are smart about it, and they know how to fake or even make the ones that surround them evil too. Like the real life of Jimmy Savile.
>schyzotypal, not schizoid, that's a completely different kind of fucked up.
Why do you say that?
Overall I agree with you. Serial Killers and murderers in general I see in two kinds. The graphic killer, and the spiritual killer.
Graphic killers are the ones whose fascination have to do with blood, graphic violence and the physical act of killing. Spiritual killers or murderers do it for more metaphysical reasons, even if they are not entirely aware of them, they reasoning is more structured and generally includes stereotypes and a quasi-mythical perception of the world.

If humans can be evil, animals can be evil since humans are only highly intelligent animals, relative to others. I doubt most people think an animal could be evil though.

Because they are different things, even if they are contained in the same cluster, also I suspect schizotypal is associated with an higher degree of dysfunctionality.
I like your distinction, I think it works in most cases and in a simple way explains much.
If you think humans are only that, sure, but I disagree. High intelligence means a series of emergent properties that are far away from what any animal can do, I don't think intelligence works the same way than having more or less size or strength, it means a lot more and it's one thing that changes the category of any entity.
Dolphins are
Despite our high intelligence, the actions of humans are largely caused by impulses, impulses humans have in common with other animals. That heightened motivation caused by something being novel followed by gradual disinterest. That drive to socialize and form relationships and compete with others. People do what they feel motivated to do. The more apathetic a person, the less able they are to act, even if they could give a list of rational reasons to do something. Specific impulses could be missing or too strong because of some abnormality.
There's a common misconception that people think a thought like "I'll mow the lawn" and because they had that verbal thought, they mowed the lawn. In reality, the action and verbal thought are only correlated, an underlying impulse is what causes a person to act. People are compelled towards what's novel, sexually gratifying and empowering among other things. I don't see anything about the behavior of any person, killer or not, that cannot be explained like this.
In my opinion that's a reductionism that can't explain the diversity of behaviour between humans. It makes me remember of a conversation I had long time ago, my interlocutor thought that all humans based their actions in egoism and the search of pleasure. So the only difference between a saint and a serial killer was that they got pleasure from different things. I can't accept to reduce human complexity to that.
>that's a reductionism that can't explain the diversity of behaviour between humans
It's better than good vs evil magic moral dualism.
Sorry, it's one of the word filters in place here to try and cut down on people making stupid text faces.
>> Anonymous 08/25/20(Tue)06:33 No. 25853 [Edit]
Oh, I see. I suspected it might be filter, but couldn't think of a precise word that would fit.
But there's all kinds of good, evil and in between. Believing there's an extreme like pure evil doesn't mean you believe there's only good vs evil. Actually, I think such extreme is mostly rare, but still, it exists.
>> Anonymous 08/26/20(Wed)02:02 No. 25855 [Edit]
Dunno, but it's a bit of an offensive premise, no? Being schizoid or a psychopath doesn't mean someone has any serious tendency to being a murderous bastard.
That's what most people think about schizophrenics (not too related to schizoids or schizotypals besides some genetic origin) while they are more inoffensive than the average guy. There's this idea that the outcast is a more dangerous person, even in the sexual aspect, than the social, "normal" person.

Most mentally abnormal people wont kill others, but many people who do kill others for enjoyment or for some personal reason despite not knowing the people they kill well are mentally abnormal. There's nothing "offensive" about the premise. >>25836 >>25837 are the only ones who seems to get it.
It's been removed now.

Most killers are dumb normalfag niggers fighting over the dumbest arguments. That includes murderers with plans and intent.
They're dumb until they trick and or kill you.
I'm talking about gangbangers and families with anger issues getting in arguments that escalate to one of them shooting up the other. If schizophrenics are more deceptive and cruel killers, then they only have more self control than the "normal" supposedly nonviolent people. I watched my cousins almost kill each other many times.
Schizoids are different from schizophrenics, but I get what you're saying. Your cousins know each other though.
>> Anonymous 01/02/21(Sat)02:06 No. 26291 [Edit]
Most people who kill each other usually do. I wonder if the only "weird" thing about serial killers is that they kill strangers? Is it considered more socially acceptable to kill someone that you personally disliked?

Deliver on your promises
It’s good advice, though I’m not exactly offering it but, rather, self-committing to an adherence to it, as best I can, as much as I might be able to, as much as—honestly, and opportunistically—I might need to. I hope you can too, for my sake as much as yours. That’s the thing about expectations, once they’ve been raised: transitory satisfaction or grievance are the only cheques that can be cashed when this particular IOU comes good. Neither are healthy for you, the latter especially so. Avoid it if you can. Granted, no one appreciates a raw deal, yet there are better applications of attention and exhaustion of energy than an audit of life’s balance sheet in a futile attempt to discover if it falls in or against your favour. Besides, as any good banker will tell you, it’s advisable to keep an essential portion—and here I transpose material wealth for the accumulation of one’s inner life—in reserve, even if some bankers don’t do that anymore.
When it comes to artists, artistic promise, promises artists make, promises made to artists and the breaking of all of these, there stands a particularly memorable instance of bright lights real time confession. ‘Ha, ha ha. Ever get the feeling you’ve been cheated?’ lamented Johnny Rotten after an especially shambolic rendition of The Sex Pistols’ anthem No Fun on a cold night in 1978. Has there ever been a rawer moment of collective witness of an individual artist’s apprehension of his raw deal? But that was a long time ago, right? We are surely now more circumspect of answered prayers over unanswered ones, of promises kept and delivered—emphatically, via shock and awe lest the point be lost on fellow partisans and opponents alike—over and above any talk of overdue commitments. Perhaps artists do nothing in so far as they deliver on the promise of potential—their own, their culture’s, their present, and the intertwined destiny of all three spheres of influence, as a realpolitik hawk might put it.
What could be more present, more NOW, than one of the world’s great megacities asserting its entry into the global biennale circuit? Aziz Sohail, a son of Karachi, turns his gaze towards his perpetually shifting and endlessly complex city to provide an historical context for ‘KB17’, the inaugural Karachi Biennale that opened in October last year. Taking three sites—a cinema, library and bookshop—which, as he proposes, ‘transition and exist between realms of the colonial, modernity and the present contemporary through different registers’, Aziz’s witnessing from afar acts as ‘a good example of how the city of Karachi as a site becomes a witness for pasts, commenting on the present but also imagining futures.’
Looking back in order to apprehend the future, Judy Annear lends her thoughts and senses, attuned by a close engagement with art from Japan over many decades, to Japanorama: A New Vision on Art Since 1970, an encyclopaedic exhibition produced by the Centre Pompidou-Metz. Taking as her focus the contributions of Yasumasa Morimura and Dumb Type, Judy’s insight peels back a layer or two by asking how Japan and France have been entwined culturally since 1868, noting that since THEN ‘the avalanche of manners and meanings went both ways: Impressionism, Japonisme, Art Nouveau, traditional architectures, modern design, experimental dance, Hokusai, manga, anime, Comme des Garçons, sushi, Hello Kitty, classic French food.’
Over in Papua New Guinea, on various stops along the Okuk ‘Highlands’ Highway, Eric Bridgeman generously offers entry into his life in Kudjip, Jiwaka Province. Accompanied by remarkable photographs, Eric’s contribution chronicles a recent time in the artist’s life where he realised his ambition of creating a working studio that, before long, ‘became a club house, or Haus Man, and was bursting with creativity.’ Eric’s artistic experiments in shield painting alongside a group of men from his family and community coincided with the nation’s federal elections, proving a fascinating charged atmosphere for renewal on many fronts. Meanwhile, Mitiana Arbon spent time on the island of Upolu to learn from Manamea Art Studio, an artists’ collective that ‘shows an ongoing concern and conversation with deeper social enquiries of contemporary relationships with the fa’asamoa, Samoan culture and way of being.’ As a young scholar and recent recipient of 4A’s Emerging Writer’s Program, Mitiana details Manamea’s desire to MAKE a difference to Samoa’s artistic community, in turn proving ‘the potential of artists and creative practitioners engaging and interrogating perceptions of cultural fixity remains salient for the present generation of artists, scholars and creative practitioners in the region.’
Earlier in the year, Con Gerakaris sat down to TALK with Lee Kun-Yong during his visit to Sydney to present his work and perform in 4A’s recent exhibition, Equal Area. ‘Performance art is difficult’, contends the writer as the veteran artist, ever wary of society’s straight-jacketed categorising strictures since his experience as a young man in 1970s Korea— ‘a confluence of martial law and the establishment of international diplomatic relations resulted in a volatile society of experimental art practice, kidnappings, abuse and disco music’, as Gerakaris puts it—nimbly reserves his own path in life, art and conversation.
Rounding out this issue, Mikala Tai trekked a path to Tokyo and New York as two significant presentations of art from Southeast Asia were undertaken by museums whose host nations have emphatically shaped the region. Enthralled by what she was able to SEE in Sunshine: Contemporary Art from Southeast Asia 1980s to Now at Tokyo’s National Art Center and Mori Museum alongside After Darkness: Southeast Asian Art in the Wake of History at New York’s Asia Society Museum, Mikala surmises that when it comes to the task of understanding such a diverse and dynamic region, ‘the mediation of such massive historic shifts through the lens of the individual makes the viewer complicit in their experience.’
John Lydon returned to the stage not long after, of course, only this time he came ready to deliver on his promise. The times suited him because second time round his audience could not but be complicit in his art. Who will suit our own? And will you join in? I will if you do. Promise.

As Hollywood film studios have further and further far from creating initial content and rather depend on remakes and reboots of familiar franchises, Sony has apparently floated the notion of remaking “The Princess Bride.”
HomeAs Hollywood film studios have further and further far from creating initial content and rather depend on remakes and reboots of familiar franchises, Sony has apparently floated the notion of remaking “The Princess Bride.”
This will, needless to say, be a terrible concept. Which also can be why Sony quickly backed away, stating that it absolutely wasn’t intending to remake the film all things considered.
What’s astonishing is the backlash that the easy thought of it produced throughout the internet. That is, it is “INCONCEIVABLE!”
No Changing the initial
“The Princess Bride” was launched in September 1987. The movie starred Cary Elwes, Robin Wright, together with a supporting cast that included the truly amazing character star Wallace Shawn, Billy Crystal, as well as famed wrestler Andre the Giant.
It absolutely was one of several very very early movies from Rob Reiner, whoever profession has since tanked while their notoriety as being a lunatic that is left-wing just grown.
“The Princess Bride” is hailed as a highly skilled, time-tested, perfectly entertaining film. This has the virtue to be one of the most unforgettable movies of a decade that is already memorable Hollywood.
Interestingly, the movie only grossed about $31 million domestically. It is really not even near to being among the top-grossing movies of them all and it is really ranked 2,674 th in all-time box office that is domestic.
It didn’t also crack the most effective 10 for box workplace in 1987, arriving at No. 41.
Perhaps the Academy Awards overlooked it, awarding it a nomination that is single initial track.
It stays a fond memory for numerous moviegoers of the generation.
During the time, it took an inspired conceit of rotating bedtime tale bookend into a comedic and exercise that is self-referential the dream genre. To the time, memes float round the internet which can be derived straight through the film.
More than anything else, it is only a crackling story that is good wonderful comedic actors and it is frequently hilariously funny.
Simple tips to Botch a Remake
A remake would not fly now, not really on Netflix.
One reason why is basically because the initial film is quite definitely an item of its time. The movie is sweet-natured and playful. It may have also been released by Disney.
The entire concept would be ruined by simply making it “edgy” and filling it with language inappropriate for just what its audience must be.
Another important element is the fact that it had been among the first movies to poke enjoyable in the genre and therefore it self. This sort of self-reflexiveness has because been utilized countless times. “Shrek” was a brand new new undertake such a method, which includes later been done to death.

It’s a very important factor to remake Disney animated films into live-action/CGI entertainment that is contemporary. The live-action remakes are practically carbon copies while the animated films, even the contemporary ones, have mostly become instant classics.
In fact, they scarcely classify as remakes, which can be why we have actuallyn’t seen this kind of backlash against Disney.
Yet in terms of remakes, this has shown to be extremely difficult for almost any brand new work to both pay homage towards the initial while standing securely by itself two legs.
A perfect instance is the all-female “Ghostbusters.”
Yet again, it was an ill-fated make an effort to recreate a movie which was greatly of its time. The film arrived on the scene on the front 50 % of the 1980s and like “The Princess Bride” showed audiences a global they’d never ever seen before.
“Ghostbusters” somehow managed to mash together comedy and ghostly shenanigans in present-day nyc. The film took itself and its world seriously despite the comedy and Bill Murray’s singular performance.
The movie had interior guidelines that it used. The figures had been both very hilarious and specific. The screenplay ended up being elegantly organized and directed with great ability by the Ivan that is late Reitman.
At that time, “Ghostbusters” was a totally concoction that is original.
The remake was a total tragedy. Every thing we just listed that has been good in regards to the initial movie had been totally botched into the remake. The movie had been defectively written and defectively directed, with figures and situations which were unfunny, and delivered a situation that has been 35 yrs old.
Remake Done Right
Then they should look to “Battlestar Galactica,” which showed up on the SyFy Network more than 10 years ago if a studio insists on doing a remake or reboot.
The initial series, which premiered within the belated 1970s, took it self really at that time however in the ensuing many years of higher-quality tv and unique impacts, its now regarded as camp.
The remake, nonetheless, had been a triumph on every level.
It took the first concept and tossed away 95% associated with the series that is original. Creator Ronald Moore beautifully and elegantly changed the show into a tale associated with people in diaspora together with challenges it encountered while being pursued by robots that wished to obliterate them. As with any science that is good, present-day disputes through the political into the metaphysical were played away over the course of the show.
Which takes us back once again to “The Princess Bride.”
The only path a remake could ever work is always to simply take the initial concept and entirely rework the story that is entire. It couldn’t need certainly to deliver the exact exact same psychological beats, however it will have to stand totally by itself accord. That could efficiently not really make it a remake but instead a “remake in name only.”
Otherwise, simply keep it alone. Even Cary Elwes agrees.

The paper discusses the issue of the most important outcome of the Caspian expedition of Peter I – the conclusion of the treaty in Istanbul in 1724.

On measuring results of counter movement jump
The present research focuses upon comparison of results of counter movement jump measured by different methods, including 2-D and 3-D videotaping with different frequency, force plate and moving gage. It has been established that the result of counter movement jump evaluated during flight time by using force plate is significantly less than that measured by other methods.

Definition of the type of the “loading – yielding force impulse” dependence in shock - isotonic and shock - isokinetic modes of muscle operation
Excentric training in isotonic and isokinetic modes is a unique form of external resistance for learning and training which is created by using an original training complex. This research is made to detect specific features of the dependence of “loading – a yielding force impulse of muscle pull” and skeletal muscles of the person using an example of power exercises in an automated workplace sports in shock - isokinetic and shock - isotonic modes of muscular contraction. The directly-proportional dependence between the size of loading and an impulse of yielding force (with increasing size of loading the impulse of yielding force increases) in competitive sports exercise in shock - isotonic and shock - isokinetic modes was defined for the first time. Also a comparative analysis of the “loading – a yielding force impulse” dependence in shock - isotonic and shock - isokinetic modes of muscle operation in competitive exercises was made for the first time.

Comparative characteristic of lexical and grammatical units of the Russian and Adyghean languages
The paper discusses the questions of the comparative and typological description of lexical and grammatical units of the Russian and Adyghean languages. The difficulties in mastering Russian lexicon are related to the interlingual lexical interference caused by essential divergences in lexical system of the Russian and Adyghean languages. The authors show that the compared languages differ at grammatical level not only in absence of certain grammatical categories, but also in nature of expression and functioning in speech of identical categories of parts of speech.

A tendency to language democratization in the qualitative press of the beginning of the third millennium
The paper discusses the tendency to language democratization in the qualitative press where there is the contamination of the language means belonging to different styles of communication. The use of stylistically lowered elements of a slang and popular speech causes expressivity and assessment, promoting manifestation of the author's “I” of the journalist who possesses stylistic competence and sense of proportion. Emergence of other style elements in analytical texts of the newspaper journalism focused on book and written speech, is a steady tradition in modern mass media.

Christian tradition and folklore of the Don Cossacks
The paper discusses the religious views of the Don Cossacks and the influence of the main views of the Christian dogma on their folklore. An attempt is undertaken to create the objective basis of opinions about religiousness of Cossacks, to reveal sources from which orthodox ideas got into national culture and systematize Christian images, motives and subjects in folklore. Influence of Christian tradition is traced at levels of the contents (concepts), forms of expression (poetics) and the organization of a system of texts (in their semiotic understanding).

Stage director's searches at the Bashkir theatre in the 1960s – 1990s
An analysis is made of the 1960s – 1990s stage direction of the Bashkir academic drama theatre named after M. Gafuri. This period is defined as time of gradual deep updating the academic scene, its exit to new level of art thinking when the saved-up traditions stimulate searches for new scenic forms and ways of reflection of life. As a result, all components of the theatre – directions, dramatic art and performing arts – develop intensively and by the beginning of the 1990s the theatre appears in the tideway of the most progressive currents of a modern domestic scene.

Influence of ways of soil processing and fertilizer norms on its agrochemical properties
This work discusses the results of researches on studying a content of available forms of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, as well as influence of ways of the basic soil processing and fertilizer norms on humus balance. It is inferred that against a background of high norms of fertilizers the greatest gain in humus content is provided by the combined soil processing, which results in increasing the quantity of humus in all parts of an arable layer. The surface soil processing gives 2,2 times smaller increase in humus content, which proves to be the least during experience, despite the greatest gain in the top layer.

Oxygen exchange in teenagers in the conditions of highlands
This work discusses the results of three-year longitudinal researches (2006–2008) on 14–15 year-old teenagers (of both sexes), living in high-altitude and flat territories of the Adygheya Republic. The author determines breath parameters in the conditions of physical activities: frequency, respiratory volume and the minute volume. Authentic distinctions are revealed in volume of lungs depending on accommodation conditions. In mountain conditions the volume of lungs of school children is truely less than that of contemporaries living in flat territories. Gender distinctions in all breath indicators are authentic for the school children who are living in high-mountainous widths and engaged in power sports.

Specificity of human leukocyte antigens of the second class (HLA II) associated with risk of development of bronchial asthma in world populations
Protective antigens and antigens associated with bronchial asthma in world populations are localized dominantly in HLA-DRB1, -DQA1 and -DQB1 – the main complex of a histo combination of the people. The greatest number of the associated specificities is revealed in DRB1 (10) and in DQB1 (8) loci, it is less in DQA1 (4). Similar regularity is characteristic of protective allels: most of them are in DRB1 (5) and in DQB1 (6), but in DQA1 (1). Separate specificities (DRВ1* 04, DQA1* 0301, DQB1* 0501) are found in the different people which can be both protective and associated with bronchial asthma. In the Russian Federation, DRB1*07, DRB1*08 and DQB1*05 specificities are associated with risk of development of bronchial asthma. They were revealed in two populations of the Russian in the Astrakhan and Moscow areas. In Astrakhan and Moscow probands with bronchial asthma different specificities of HLA-DRB1 locus are associated: correspondingly HLA-DRB1*08 and HLA-DRB1*07 allels. Protective antigens in DRB1 locus for the surveyed populations are not identified.

3. Using Styles to Format Text
Adapted from Shauna Kelly's page: http://shaunakelly.com/word/concepts/styles.html - Modified to refer to the controls in the Ribbon versions of Word
What this page is about
For those of you who have just joined us, this is a page in the series of Basic Concepts in Word. Use the menu at left to go to the different pages.
Each Basic Concept page has three sections:
A how-to Tutorial
Curiosity Shop for the inquisitive.
This page also has an addendum on managing styles and getting the Body Text style to show itself.
Step 1 Type the first few paragraphs of text
This page is about how to format your text using styles. To demonstrate how styles work, we will use the first few paragraphs of the sample document.
Type the first few paragraphs of text (following the rules for typing in Word discussed in the previous Basic Concepts page). Don't worry yet about formatting or fonts or making text bold. Your screen should look something like this (assuming you have clicked the ¶ button to display end-of-paragraph markers):
About foxes and lazy dogs¶
The purpose of this document is to learn how to use Microsoft Word¶
This is a story about a fox that jumped over a lazy dog. The only purpose of the story is to use all 26 letters of the alphabet.¶
The story¶
The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.¶
Step 2 How to format text using styles
Obviously the text we have on the screen so far isn't what we have in mind for a nicely formatted document. We need to make the Title and the Headings large and bold. And, we need space after the paragraphs.
To achieve that, you need to do two things:
You need to tell Word which paragraph is the title, which paragraphs are headings, and which are body text. To do that, we will apply a style.
You need to tell Word that the Title should be large and bold, the Heading should be large and bold, there should be space before or after paragraphs. To do that, we will modify a style.
Step 3 How to see Word's styles
We need to get a bit organized before we can continue. For the moment, would you just trust me and do the following? We can worry later about what we did.
Click on the Home tab in the Ribbon. (It is probably already showing.)
You should see something like the following on the right half of the ribbon.
(Don't worry if your screen shows different styles or they look different. Word 2013 has moved the Change Styles button to a different ribbon.)
This is the Quick Styles Gallery. They give you a preview of how a style will look in your document.
This gives you some basic styles, but not all of them.
Step 4 How to format the title of your document
The first paragraph is the Title of the document, and we need to tell Word that it's the Title.
Put the insertion point anywhere within the first paragraph, which is the Title. To do that, click in that paragraph with your mouse, or use the arrow keys.
Move your mouse pointer over the Title style at the far right of the Gallery. (If you don't see the Title style, click on the scroll bar on the right side of the Gallery until it is displayed.
The text in your document will preview the appearance of the paragraph with the Title style applied. You can hover over other styles to see what they look like as well.
Click on the Title style and it will be applied to your title.
You can now see two things:
When you clicked on the Title style, it got a box around it in the Gallery instead of the Normal style. This tells you that you have applied the Title style.
The format of your text changed. It may be bold text in the 26 pt. Cambria font, with a bottom border (as shown below). Or, your machine may have set it up differently. In any case, you may prefer that your title is smaller, or not bold, or flush right, or green with a pink border. You may prefer more or less space before or after the paragraph. You can modify the way Word displays your Title. But for the moment, let's just accept it the way it is, and keep going.
Step 5 How to format Body Text
The first paragraph of our document was the Title. The second and third paragraphs are body text. For now, we will format these using the Normal style. (See addendum below on setting up Body Text style on your computer to use it instead of the Normal Style.) Use the mouse or the arrow keys to move the Insertion Point into the second paragraph (the one that starts "The purpose of this document …"). From the Gallery, choose Normal. Then repeat that process for the third paragraph. Your text will now look something like this:
Normal style may be defined differently on your machine. But you can probably see that the Normal style has some space after each paragraph. That's why you don't need to press Enter twice after a paragraph.
Step 6 How to format Headings
The way to make your headings large and bold is to format them using the Heading 1 style.
The fourth paragraph of our text ("The story") is a heading. Position the Insertion Point anywhere within that paragraph. Use the Style Gallery to applly the Heading 1 style. Then apply the Normal style to the paragraph after the Heading. Your screen should then look something like this:
Your machine may be set up so that Heading 1 is formatted differently from what's shown here. It may be a different font, a different size, a different colour, or with more or less spacing before or after the paragraphs. If you don't like the way that Heading 1 is formatted, you can modify the Heading 1 style.
Use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+S to save your work.
Let's go back and review what you've done.
You typed several paragraphs of text.
Different paragraphs serve different functions. You told Word that the first paragraph was the Title, the next two paragraphs are Normal, the one after that is a Heading, and the last paragraph is Body Text.
You told Word what function the different paragraphs serve by choosing the appropriate style from the Style menu.
Word applied the formatting appropriate for the Styles to your paragraphs.
Step 7 But I don't like the way the text is formatted: How to modify a style
A style is a collection of formatting instructions. The formatting instructions are a description of how the style is to look. The style definition includes information about the font, text size, text colour, background colour, paragraph alignment (for example, aligned left, or centred), and the amount of space before or after the paragraph. A style can even be formatted to include a border, shading, an indent or automatic numbering.
If you don't like the way, say, the Title style is defined on your machine, you can modify the Title style.
Try this, just as an experiment. We'll modify Title to be orange.
Right-Click on the Title style in the Styles Gallery and pick "Modify" from the context choices presented.
In Word 2002, to change Body Text to blue, do this.
Put your cursor somewhere, anywhere, within any one of your Body Text paragraphs.
At the bottom left of the Style Modification dialog, click Format then Font.
In the Font Color section, choose Orange.
Click OK, OK, Apply.
Modifying a style affects all uses of that style in the Document
The most important thing to note here is this. When you modified the Title style to be orange, all your Title paragraphs will become orange. That's why styles are really powerful. No matter how big your document is (it might be 1,000 pages long), you can change all your Title paragraphs to orange with half a dozen clicks of the mouse.
Experiment! You're not going to send this test document to anyone, so it doesn't matter what kind of mess you make. If you don't like orange text, try green by modifying the title style as you did above. If you prefer your Heading 1 style to be larger or smaller, try a different font size by modifying the Heading 1 style. Put more or less space before or after the Title by modifying the Title style. You could try removing the bottom border or adding a top border.
For more information about modifying styles see How to modify a style in Word.
This page has shown you how to format your text using Styles.
Tell Word what function a paragraph serves by applying a style. To do that, put the cursor or Insertion Point anywhere within the paragraph. Click the arrow in the Style box and choose the Style to apply. Read more about how to apply a style.
A style is a set of formatting instructions. Word will apply the formatting instructions when you apply a style.
To modify the Heading styles to suit the formatting you prefer, modify the style. Read more about how to modify a style .
When you modify a style, all the text formatted with that style changes automatically.
Go to the next concept: 4: Use tables and tabs to arrange text, not spaces
or continue to read the Curiosity Shop box.
For more styles: See Q&A Styles in Word by Suzanne Barnhill, MVP
Curiosity Shop: More about heading styles
1. Why does Word have 9 Heading styles?
If you really explore, you'll find that Word has 9 Heading styles. They're called Heading 1, Heading 2 etc. Only huge technical documents would use all of them. You might use two or three levels of headings. You won't even see most of these ordinarily until you've used the heading style above.
Here's an example that uses Heading 1 for main headings ("Chocolate") and Heading 2 for subheadings (for example, "Dark chocolate"). This picture shows the style that has been applied to each paragraph.
The 9 Heading styles are really important styles, because they have "magic" properties. When you come to do larger documents, using Heading styles can save you hours of work in creating a table of contents or index or automatically numbering figures or tables in your document.
2. Numbering headings
Word can automatically number your headings. You might want your document to look something like this:
1. Chocolate
(a) Dark Chocolate
(b) Milk Chocolate
2. Bread
Don't type numbers (or letters) like this by hand. Get Word to insert them for you. If you want to add numbers to your headings, see How to create numbered headings or outline numbering in Ribbon Versions of Word .
3. Why use the Heading styles?
There are many other ways to format your headings in Word. The best way is to apply Word's Heading 1, Heading 2 etc styles. If you need convincing, here are Why use Word's built-in heading styles?.
4. Getting a different View
If you click the View tab in Word, you'll see that there are five different ways to view your document:
Print Layout
Full Reading or Reading
These give you different ways to view your document. They all have advantages and disadvantages. You are currently using Print Layout view. This is the view most like what you'll see when you print your document.
Draft View is useful if you want to see which styles you've applied to which paragraphs very easily. To do that, choose View > Draft. Then, using File > Word Options > View. Set the Style Area Width to about 3cm or 1.5". Word will display the style for each paragraph down the left of the screen. One disadvantage of Normal View is that you can't see any pictures in your document.
Outline View is useful when you're working on a large document such as a business report or academic thesis that have many chapters or parts, with headings and sub-headings and sub-sub-headings. How to save yourself hours by using Outline View properly has more information
Next: Concept 4: Use tables and tabs to arrange text, not spaces
Addendum - Using the Body Text Style Instead of Normal Style
The original page described use of the Body Text style instead of the Normal style for body text in a document. This is a very important concept and recommended. Unfortunately, recent versions of Word have made this a bit more difficult. You will need to modify the Body Text style in your normal template to get it to show up at all on yosur Quick Styles Gallery or other styles lists.
Why it is important to use a Body Text style instead of Normal.
One clear reason is that the Normal style is the basis for many other styles. Changing it will change those styles as well, changing not only letters and reports, but also envelopes and labels. You probably would like to change the body of a document without, for instance, changing captions on figures in the same way.
Controlling which styles appear in Ribbon versions of Word
To control which styles appear you will need to use the dialog launcher in the bottom right of the Styles group on the Home tab. gives more controls, more Styles and more choices:
The resulting dialog is similar to the old Styles Pane and provides more information about the Style when you hover.
As in earlier Word versions, hovering over the Style name gives a pop-up with information about the Style, and right-clicking on the Style name give options to modify or delete the Style.
Another way to launch the Styles Pane is the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Alt+Shift+S. (On my computer HP has grabbed this shortcut for its System Info utility and it does not work in Word.)
By default this appears as a floating dialog. This dialog can be anchored to the right side of the page making it appear much like the Styles and Formatting Pane. Double-click on the title area (Styles) to anchor it. Drag that title bar into the page to float it again.
In Word 2007 and later at the bottom of this Style pane there are two checkboxes, three buttons, and the Options... choice.
The Show Preview checkbox shows the Styles in the list as previews of the Style. The Disable Linked Styles checkbox changes how applying a linked Style in a document behaves. If "Disable" is checked, the linked Style behaves as a paragraph Style only when applied to a part of a paragraph. That is, the Style is applied to the entire paragraph, not just the selected portion.
The left-most button lets you define a new Style. The second gives you the Style Inspector.
The Style Inspector is a floating dialog that lets you type in your document and click to a different spot in the document to see what is going on with formatting there.
If the advanced editing option to "Keep Track of Formatting" is checked it will also show direct formatting.
The purposes of the buttons is shown in the tooltips in the screen shot.
The Reveal Formatting button gives the user the same pane as the Keyboard Shortcut Shift+F1.
We now have two places where styles are shown - but Body Text does not show up in either by default!
Getting it to show up requires that we "manage" styles.
It is the third button at the bottom of the styles pane which gives you the tabbed dialog to "Manage Styles." The Manage Styles dialog has four tabs at the top giving access to four different sets of controls to manage Styles.
At the bottom of each tab of this dialog are choices for "Only in this document" or "New documents based on this template" as well as the buttons for Import/Export, OK and Cancel. The choices for the "scope" of the change (this document/template) are applied when the OK button is pressed under any of the tabs. You can set options under each tab before pressing OK. If you change your mind before pressing OK and cancel, none of the changes under any of the tabs are applied.
For now, we are looking at the second tab: Recommend.
Shown to the left is the Recommend tab which lets you assign recommendation values and mark styles to be hidden or displayed in lists. Those values determine where Styles show up in the Quick Styles gallery and the order if you display Styles "as recommended." Multiple Styles can have the same values, in which case they will be sorted alphabetically in that value. While the default is to show styles "As Recommended," when the Style name is known, it can be helpful to sort them in Alphabetical order as shown.
It also lets you hide Styles from various views either until used or always.
(When a style has ever been used in a document, it will show up in the list of Styles in Use even if it is not actually in use.)
Here we see the default setting for the Body Text style. That is, to show it if it has been used and to rank it last. No wonder we couldn't find it! Word lets you change this by: (1) assigning a priority. I generally assign a fairly high priority. (2) clicking the Show button.

Deacon Locke Went to Prom
by Brian Katcher
Hardcover Giveaway
U.S. Only
Katherine Tegen Books
Released 5/9/2017
In this funny, offbeat, and smile-inducing contemporary romance from award-winning author Brian Katcher, the love life of an awkward teen takes an unforgettable turn after he brings his grandmother to prom.
Promposals are taking over Deacon Locke’s high school and there is no place left to hide. But even with graduation looming, shy and unusually tall Deacon doesn’t think he can get up the nerve to ask anyone to the dance. Especially given all the theatrics.
It isn’t until Deacon confides in his witty and outgoing best friend Jean that he realizes she could be a great person to take. Only problem is Jean isn’t your typical prom date. She’s older. A lot older. And she’s Deacon’s grandmother.
But when Deacon meets Soraya—a girl unlike any other he’s ever met—he fears he has totally squandered his chances of having a prom he’ll never forget. Deacon couldn’t be more wrong. About everything.
Author Question: What is your favorite thing about Deacon Locke Went to Prom?
I was able to break away from the nerdy, unattractive main character. Deacon is a good looking tall guy trapped in the body of a hopelessly shy and awkward boy. He could be popular, but instead ends up asking his grandmother to the prom.

Juan Pablo and The Butterflies
by JJ Flowers
Merit Press
After facing problems with a local drug cartel in Mexico, a man and his best friend must flee to California for their freedom and a chance for survival.
In the small town of El Rosario, Mexico’s butterfly sanctuary, drug traffickers begin to take over and disrupt the life of the community. As Juan Pablo’s grandmother, the medicine woman of the town, lies on her deathbed, she tells her grandson that he must follow the migration of butterflies to Pacific Grove, California—to another butterfly sanctuary—where someone will be waiting for him. When Juan Pablo uses one of his grandmother’s poisons on members of the cartel, he and his best friend Rocio must leave for California as soon as they can and follow the butterflies. But is he following the wings of freedom? Or death?
Author Question: What is your favorite thing about Juan Pablo and The Butterflies?
My favorite thing about JUAN PABLO AND THE BUTTERFLIES is the introduction of magic and the spiritual, with the harsh and life threatening catastrophe thrust on Juan Pablo and Rocio. It presents a door to the spiritual realm. Juan Pablo sees this door and even though he believes it is an invitation to imagination, he nonetheless uses it to transcend his impossibly horrific circumstances. Is this door to the spiritual realm real or pretend? Can it save our hero from the cartel's most feared bounty hunter?
The reader is kept guessing until the end, which might best be summed up with the famous George Bernard Shaw quote: "The imagination is how God speaks to us..."

Brave New Girl
by Rachel Vincent
In a world where everyone is the same, one girl is the unthinkable: unique. A high-stakes fast-paced series launch from New York Times bestselling author Rachel Vincent.
We have brown hair. Brown eyes. Fair skin.
We are healthy and strong and smart.
But only one of us has ever had a secret.
Dahlia 16 sees her face in every crowd. She's nothing special—just one of five thousand girls created from a single genome to work for the greater good of the city.
Meeting Trigger 17 changes everything. He thinks she’s interesting. Beautiful. Unique. Which means he must be flawed. When Dahlia can't stop thinking about him—when she can't resist looking for him, even though that means breaking the rules—she realizes she's flawed, too. But if she’s flawed, then so are all her identicals. And any genome found to be flawed will be recalled. Destroyed.
Getting caught with Trigger would seal not only Dahlia's fate, but that of all five thousand girls who share her face. But what if Trigger is right? What if Dahlia is different?
Suddenly the girl who always follows the rules is breaking them, one by one by one. . . .

Gilmore Girls with magical realism! Dear Reader is an original, poignant modern-day take on Wuthering Heights, as a high school senior searches for her teacher and meets a boy who may just be Heathcliff come to life.
For seventeen-year-old Flannery Fields, the only respite from the plaid-skirted mean girls at Sacred Heart High School at is her beloved teacher Miss Sweeney’s AP English class. But when Miss Sweeney doesn't show up to teach Flannery's favorite book, Wuthering Heights, leaving behind her purse, Flannery knows something is wrong.
The police are called, and Flannery gives them everything—except Miss Sweeney's copy of Wuthering Heights. This she holds onto. And good thing she does, because when she opens it, it has somehow transformed into Miss Sweeney's real-time diary. It seems Miss Sweeney is in New York City—and she's in trouble.
So Flannery does something very unFlannery-like: she skips school and sets out for Manhattan, with the book as her guide. But as soon as she arrives, she meets a boy named Heath. Heath is British, on a gap year, incredibly smart—yet he's never heard of Albert Einstein or Anne Frank. In fact, Flannery can't help thinking that he seems to have stepped from the pages of Brontë's novel. Could it be?
With inimitable wit and heart, Mary O'Connell has crafted a love letter to reading, to the books that make us who we are. Dear Reader, charming and heartbreaking, is a novel about finding your people, on the page in the world.

It's Not Like It's a Secret
by Misa Sugiura
Sixteen-year-old Sana Kiyohara has too many secrets. Some are small, like how it bothers her when her friends don’t invite her to parties. Some are big, like that fact that her father may be having an affair. And then there’s the one that she can barely even admit to herself—the one about how she might have a crush on her best friend.
When Sana and her family move to California she begins to wonder if it’s finally time for some honesty, especially after she meets Jamie Ramirez. Jamie is beautiful and smart and unlike anyone Sana’s ever known. There are just a few problems: Sana’s new friends don’t trust Jamie’s crowd; Jamie’s friends clearly don’t want her around anyway; and a sweet guy named Caleb seems to have more-than-friendly feelings for her. Meanwhile, her dad’s affair is becoming too obvious to ignore anymore.
Sana always figured that the hardest thing would be to tell people that she wants to date a girl, but as she quickly learns, telling the truth is easy… what comes after it, though, is a whole lot more complicated.

Ramona Blue
Balzer + Bray
Ramona was only five years old when Hurricane Katrina changed her life forever.
Since then, it’s been Ramona and her family against the world. Standing over six feet tall with unmistakable blue hair, Ramona is sure of three things: she likes girls, she’s fiercely devoted to her family, and she knows she’s destined for something bigger than the trailer she calls home in Eulogy, Mississippi. But juggling multiple jobs, her flaky mom, and her well-meaning but ineffectual dad forces her to be the adult of the family. Now, with her sister, Hattie, pregnant, responsibility weighs more heavily than ever.
The return of her childhood friend Freddie brings a welcome distraction. Ramona’s friendship with the former competitive swimmer picks up exactly where it left off, and soon he’s talked her into joining him for laps at the pool. But as Ramona falls in love with swimming, her feelings for Freddie begin to shift too, which is the last thing she expected. With her growing affection for Freddie making her question her sexual identity, Ramona begins to wonder if perhaps she likes girls and guys or if this new attraction is just a fluke. Either way, Ramona will discover that, for her, life and love are more fluid than they seem.

Her dad tries to find work but dreams about returning to Mexico. And at the posh, private Polestar Academy, Cammi's new friends assume she's a scholarship kid, the daughter of a domestic.
At first Cammi thinks playing along with the stereotypes will be her way of teaching her new friends a lesson. But the more she lies, the more she wonders: Is she only fooling herself?

The Lines We Cross

Mina has had a long and dangerous journey fleeing her besieged home in Afghanistan, and now faces a frigid reception at her new prep school, where she is on scholarship. As tensions rise, lines are drawn. Michael has to decide where he stands. Mina has to protect herself and her family. Both have to choose what they want their world to look like.

The Traitor's Kiss
by Erin Beaty
An obstinate girl who will not be married.
A soldier desperate to prove himself.
A kingdom on the brink of war.
With a sharp tongue and an unruly temper, Sage Fowler is not what they’d call a lady―which is perfectly fine with her. Deemed unfit for marriage, Sage is apprenticed to a matchmaker and tasked with wrangling other young ladies to be married off for political alliances. She spies on the girls―and on the soldiers escorting them.
As the girls' military escort senses a political uprising, Sage is recruited by a handsome soldier to infiltrate the enemy ranks. The more she discovers as a spy, the less certain she becomes about whom to trust―and Sage becomes caught in a dangerous balancing act that will determine the fate of her kingdom.

Umberland

What began with a reimagining of Peter Pan and Wendy now twists into a stunning version of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass!
Gwen, Pete, and the others have escaped from Everland. But the safe haven they hoped to find at Alnwick Castle doesn't exist. With the Queen of England on her deathbed, Duchess Alyssa has stepped in to lead, but things have gotten worse as the cure Doc created for the Horologia virus has mutated, accelerating the disease. The only possible solution he can think of is to go back to the virus's origin: an extinct poisonous apple.
Legend has it a tree bearing the apple might be found at the center of a deadly labyrinth hidden deep within Germany. A place that no one in their right mind enters. Leaving Pete in charge of the survivors, Alyssa sets out with only her sword, her wits, and the help of Maddox Hadder, a wild boy who oversees the castle gardens. To get to the center of the maze, she'll be forced to battle monsters more terrifying than her darkest nightmares.
But can anyone truly survive the madness of the maze? And what if there's no apple to be found there?

Torex Gold posts ‘extraordinary’ Q3
Stock Markets/Investing
Torex Gold Resources Inc

Mexico-focused Torex Gold Resources is the latest gold miner to report surging profits on the back of a strong gold price.
For its third quarter, Torex poured 131,790 oz. gold at all-in sustaining costs of US$877 per oz. at its El Limon Guajes mine in Guerrero state. At the same time, it sold over 133,000 oz. gold at US$1,884 per oz. – making for a stellar quarter.
The company posted record net earnings of US$60.3 million (US$51.3 million adjusted) on revenues of US$256.5 million. That compares to US$17.1 million in net income on revenues of US$198.2 in last year’s third quarter.
“Q3 was simply extraordinary — a record-breaking quarter across many facets of the business,” said Torex president and CEO Jody Kuzenko in a release. “Gold sales of 133,036 ounces were the highest in our history, as was the realized gold price of US$1,884 per ounce. The record realized margin of US$1,250 per ounce generated during the quarter underpins our best quarterly financial performance ever, including US$163 million of EBITDA, US$173 million of operating cash flow (US$138 million before changes in working capital) and US$124 million of free cash flow.”
The company ended the quarter with a net cash position for first time since beginning commercial production at El Limon Guajes in 2016. The US$77.1 million in net cash represented a US$174 million improvement year over year.
“During Q3, we paid down US$72 million of debt, bringing outstanding debt down to US$155 million,” Kuzenko added. “Post quarter end, we paid down an additional US$50 million against our revolver, which deleverages our balance sheet even further.”
In August, Torex issued revised guidance for the year of 390,000 to 420,000 oz. of gold production at all-in sustaining costs of US$965 to US$1,025 per oz. sold. The new figures account for a temporary suspension of operations in the second quarter due to the pandemic.
The company’s El Limon Guajes mining complex is located at the 290-sq.-km Morelos property, in the Guerrero gold belt, 180 km southwest of Mexico City. The operation includes three open pits and an underground mine.
Morelos also hosts the Media Luna underground project, which Torex is advancing toward first production in early 2024. A feasibility study is due out in the first quarter of 2021, following up on a 2018 preliminary economic assessment that estimated the project would cost US$497 million to build.

OpenMobile ACL for webOS resurrected on Kickstarter
The promise of OpenMobile's Application Compatibility Layer is enticing: seamlessly run Android apps on another operating system as if it was meant to be there. Unfortunately for fans of Palm's last hurrah, the project's webOS port died with the HP Touchpad. That won't stop dedicated fans, however -- Phoenix International Communications plans to resurrect webOS ACL. Taking the project to Kickstarter, the team is showing an early build on an HP Touchpad, seamlessly running Android apps in cards alongside native webOS applications. Phoenix hopes that a functional ACL will reduce Touchpad owner's reliance on dual-booting Android, giving them the freedom to enjoy webOS without sacrificing functionality. The team is promising a relatively short development time, thanks to OpenMobile's early work, and hopes to deliver a consumer ready build in July. But first the Kickstarter campaign will need to meet its $35,000 goal. Interested in pitching in? Check out the Kickstarter link at the source.

Open webOS Adopts Apache Cordova for Hardware Access
Published on January 1st, 2013 21:35
In their December newsletter, Open webOS announced that they've ditched the webOS-specific hardware interface that was part of Enyo 1.x for the Cordova project (formerly PhoneGap). Combined with the portableEnyo 2.0 framework, applications written for webOS are now portable to other platforms (and the other way around). There were also a number of other under-the-hood improvements:"This month we completed and delivered the pluggable keyboard project, WebAppMgr separation and upgrading to Qt 4.8.3. Work continues as planned on upgrading Qt5/webkit2 (more details next month). Also, the complete rewrite of mediaServer has been completed and is now undergoing internal QA testing, look for this to hit the repos in the coming weeks."
http://mobile.slashdot.org/story/13/...ardware-access ...
HP Releases Open webOS 1.0
Hewlett-Packard has announced the release Open webOS version 1.0: 'We now have an OpenEmbedded build that allows a full webOS experience running inside an OE emulator. We have added core applications — email & browser — while continuing to support the desktop build environment. The 1.0 release also brings support for Enyo2. You can now take apps built on one of the best cross-platform JavaScript frameworks and easily run these same apps on Open webOS or other platforms. In the past 9 months, we have delivered over 75 Open webOS components. This totals over 450,000 lines of code. ... The source code for Open webOS can be found in Open webOS repositorieson GitHub. Combining today's components with those from the previous releases, Open webOS can now be ported to new devices.' HP also reaffirmed plans to continue work on Open webOS, and to bring support for Qt5, WebKit2, open source media components, and more.

HP Launches Beta of Open webOS
Published on September 1st, 2012 20:00
HP done gone and released the open source version of webOS. From the article: 'Gone are the days of HP's TouchPad and Palm ambitions, but HP is moving ahead with its plans to make webOS, its beleaguered mobile operating system, live on as open-source supported platform. Today it's launching the beta release... The release will have 54 components available as open source, the blog says, some 450,000 lines of code under the Apache 2.0 license.'"There are two flavors: an OpenEmbedded based version for targeting mobile device (kudos there!), and a desktop build which runs Lunaas an application on the desktop (how long until someone writes a rootless version?).

No Open WebOS support for existing WebOS devices, no soup for you
Published on August 1st, 2012 23:01
Another day, another major blow to the webOS community. The Open webOS project announced today in its blog that the fledgling OS won't support any of the existing hardware -- like HP's Pre 3 andTouchPad. While not completely surprising, this is disappointing for those who were hoping to wring a little more life out of their current webOS devices. Open webOS is targeting SoCs that support the Linux 3.3+ kernel and components with open source drivers. The blog post blames the existing hardware's "many proprietary components, including graphics, networking and lack of drivers for a modern kernel". Despite having access to these proprietary drivers, it appears HP isn't willing to make them available to the Open webOS project -- proof that sometimes you can have your cake, but not eat it too.

Opera has more than 200m mobile users
More than 115bn pages viewed on Opera Mini in June alone.
Norway-based Opera passed over 200 million mobile users of Opera Mini and Opera Mobile in June, with just 17m supplied by the latter platform.
Meanwhile, Mini users led the charge with over 115 billion page view in June 2012, a 55 per cent rise year-on-year.
The browser also served more than two billion megabytes of data, which would have translated into more than 20 petabytes if not for Mini's data compression tech.
Opera notes that developing market African mobile owners now use their devices as the most common means of web access.
36 countries across the continent doubled Opera Mini usage across one year, while use in Côte d’Ivoire rose 600 per cent year-on-year, with page views spiking 744 per cent, and data growing 760 per cent.

Enyo 2.0 released in finished form, shares webOS' web app legacy with everyone
HP's plans to open-source webOS included mention of Enyo 2.0, a framework designed to spread webOS' learnings to other platforms -- to spread the love around, so to speak. The code foundation, while behind schedule, has just left beta: any developer with a mind to producing web apps can now create interface elements and whole apps using the technology derived from Palm's legacy. Any reasonably modern browser will run the end result, whether it's running Android, iOS or a full-fledged desktop release. We may never recreate the exact feeling of using an HP TouchPad on our iPads and Galaxy Tabs, but we know that some of its software design heritage will carry on.

'Mobile can innovate where consoles cannot'
Published on July 5th, 2012 23:31
There is a huge amount of innovation occuring on the App Store whilst many of the top console titles have grown stagnant, claims David Darling.
In his latest blog, the Kwalee CEO and Codemasters co-founder said that whilst apps on mobile had been exploring new ideas for gameplay, console titles were increasingly offering little difference between each other.
He added that iOS and Android could also offer extra features such as GPS, touchscreens, accelerometers and mobility, stating consoles needed to adapt to stay relevant.
“There is an immense amount of innovation on the App Store compared to recent console games,” said Darling.
“Big sellers on console like FIFA and Call of Duty change very little each year, whereas many apps are exploring entirely new realms of gameplay.

PSVita News: Alpha build of Flycast port released allowing you to play some Dreamcast
Published on January 11th, 2021 23:16
Playstation Vita News
For quite some months, Rinnegatamante has been working on a Dreamcast emulator for the Vita despite the console being a 6th generation one like the PlayStation 2. Thankfully, these efforts have been reasonably successful and now, an alpha build of the Flycast emulator is out for the PSVita & PSTV!
Flycast is a multi-platform Dreamcast emulator based upon reicast and is the base for Dreamcast emulation efforts on the Vita. Chosen due to the fact that it already runs quite well on ARM devices, Flycast received some modifications in order to work better on the PSVita considering its limited hardware.
These modifications include:
Disabling the MMU due to the fact that VitaSDK does not have support for some required functions
By disabling the MMU, some compatibility is sacrificed for better performance. Due to this, Rinnegatamante provides 3 binaries which have Self-Modifying code checks enabled to varying degrees (disabled, limited and full) as such checks depend on MMU functionality.
VitaSDK is the SDK used to build the Flycast emulator for the Vita
The Dreamcast’s SH4 core was downclocked to 40% of its original clockspeed
The Flycast graphics renderer was re-written in order to fully utilise vitaGL’s capabilities thus improving performance
there are 21 playable titles which include:
Aqua GT
GigaWing & GigaWing 2
Death Crimson
Grandia II
Capcom vs SNK and Capcom vs SNK 2
Mr Driller among other titles

The WebAssembly portable binary format will now have wider support from Wasmer, the server-side runtime which "allows universal binaries compiled from C++, Rust, Go, Python, and other languages to run on different operating systems and in web browsers without modification," reports InfoWorld:Wasmer can run lightweight containers based on WebAssembly on a variety of platforms — Linux, MacOS, Windows, Android, iOS — from the desktop to the cloud to IoT and mobile devices, while also allowing these containers to be embedded in any programming language. The Wasmer runtime also is able to run the Nginx web server and other WebAssembly modules...
Wasmer was introduced in December 2018, with the stated goal of doing for WebAssembly what JavaScript did for Node.js: establish it server-side. By leveraging Wasmer for containerization, developers can create universal binaries that work anywhere without modification, including on Linux, MacOS, and Windows as well as web browsers. WebAssembly automatically sandboxes applications by default for secure execution, shielding the host environment from malicious code, bugs, and vulnerabilities in the software being run.
Wasmer 1.0 reached "general availability status" with its release on January 5, and its developers are now claiming "out of this world" runtime and compiler performance.
"We believe that WebAssembly will be a crucial component for the future of software execution and containerization (not only inside the browser but also outside)."

"With the runaway success of the new ARM-based M1 Macs, non-x86 architectures are getting their closeup," explains a new article at ZDNet.
"RISC-V is getting the most attention from system designers looking to horn-in on Apple's recipe for high performance. Here's why..."RISC-V is, like x86 and ARM, an instruction set architecture (ISA). Unlike x86 and ARM, it is a free and open standard that anyone can use without getting locked into someone else's processor designs or paying costly license fees...
Reaching the end of Moore's Law, we can't just cram more transistors on a chip. Instead, as Apple's A and M series processors show, adding specialized co-processors — for codecs, encryption, AI — to fast general-purpose RISC CPUs can offer stunning application performance and power efficiency. But a proprietary ISA, like ARM, is expensive. Worse, they typically only allow you to use that ISA's hardware designs, unless, of course, you're one of the large companies — like Apple — that can afford a top-tier license and a design team to exploit it. A canned design means architects can't specify tweaks that cut costs and improve performance. An open and free ISA, like RISC-V, eliminates a lot of this cost, giving small companies the ability to optimize their hardware for their applications. As we move intelligence into ever more cost-sensitive applications, using processors that cost a dollar or less, the need for application and cost-optimized processors is greater than ever...
While open operating systems, like Linux, get a lot of attention, ISAs are an even longer-lived foundational technology. The x86 ISA dates back 50 years and today exists as a layer that gets translated to a simpler — and faster — underlying hardware architecture. (I suspect this fact is key to the success of the macOS Rosetta 2 translation from x86 code to Apple's M1 code.)
Of course, an open ISA is only part of the solution. Free standard hardware designs — with tools to design more — and smart compilers to generate optimized code are vital. That larger project is what Berkeley's Adept Lab is working on. As computing continues to permeate civilization, the cost of sub-optimal infrastructure will continue to rise.
Optimizing for efficiency, long-life, and broad application is vital for humanity's progress in a cyber-enabled world.
One RISC-V feature highlighted by the article: 128-bit addressing (in addition to 32 and 64 bit).

Mozilla developers plan to remove support for using the Backspace key as a Back button inside Firefox. From a report:The change is currently active in the Firefox Nightly version and is expected to go live in Firefox 86, scheduled to be released next month, in late February 2021. The removal of the Backspace key as a navigational element didn't come out of the blue. It was first proposed back in July 2014, in a bug report opened on Mozilla's bug tracker. At the time, Mozilla engineers argued that many users who press the Backspace key don't always mean to navigate to the previous page (the equivalent of pressing the Back button).

The first week in January is a notoriously quiet one for boxed video game sales. It's rare we will see a release of any kind during this window, and of course most gamers will still be busy with their Christmas presents.
Yet the isn't any normal start to the year, with the UK heading into another full lockdown to try and curb the spread of coronavirus. This may explain why over 260,000 boxed games were sold in the UK last week, which is a third more than what was achieved during the same week this time last year.
The main driver of the growth was Nintendo Switch, with games for the console dominating the boxed charts last week. In fact, Switch game sales are up over 123% compared with the same week in 2020. Animal Crossing: New Horizons holds onto the top spot, despite sales dropping 47% (it's worth noting that sales drops during the first week of the year are entirely normal), followed by Mario Kart 8: Deluxe at No.2 (sales down 43%). At No.3 it is Just Dance 2021, which rises two places despite a 24% sales slide. Just Dance 2021 is available across all platforms, of course, yet almost 90% of the game's sales so far have been on Nintendo Switch (physical sales only, digital sales are not included).

Cyberpunk 2077 developer CD Projekt Red is being investigated by Poland's Office of Competition and Consumer Protection (UOKiK).
The news was initially reported by Polish business newspaper Dziennik Gazeta Prawna, with UOKiK's spokesperson Małgorzata Cieloch saying that the organisation approached CD Projekt Red to understand the issues with the game and what actions had been taken to fix them.
"We will check how the manufacturer is working on the introduction of amendments or solution to difficulties preventing the game [to work] on different consoles, but also how it intends to act in relation to the persons who filed complaints and are dissatisfied with [their] purchase due to the inability to play games on owned equipment despite previous assurances [that it would]," they continued (translation via Google Translate).

GameStop today reported its holiday results, saying that sales were down 3.1% year-over-year to $1.77 billion despite strong demand for the new PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S consoles.
Unfortunately for the retailer, supplies of the new systems could not meet demand, which it pointed to as one reason for the decline.
It also attributed the slide in sales to regional government-mandated COVID-19 store closures, as well as its "de-densification" strategy that saw the permanent closures of 462 locations from the end of 2019 through October of 2020. (GameStop has announced plans to close hundreds more by the end of March 2021.)
That makes consecutive disappointing holidays for GameStop, as last year's holiday sales were already down 27.5% year-over-year.
However, the numbers weren't all down. GameStop reported that comparable store sales were actually up 4.8%, a number boosted by ecommerce sales being up 309% and accounting 34% of all of the company's business.
On top of that, GameStop said it saw holiday sales up 31% in Australia and New Zealand, where business hasn't been as hard hit by the pandemic.
"Overall, we remain confident in both the positive growth aspects for 2021 driven by our strategy to add new and exciting product revenue streams across all things games and entertainment and the strong demand for the new generation for console-based video game products," GameStop CEO George Sherman said.
"We look forward to executing on both of these areas in 2021 to expand our addressable market and product offerings supported by the many exciting opportunities to leverage our brand, extensive loyalty member base, and improving digital capabilities."

Media Invite, Review, Review - Movie
Review : The Secret Life of Pets (2016)
Well, aren't we real lucky in August 2016? First we won tickets to a wonderful musical then our certain higher divine power decided to move his magic fingers to get us invited to the movie premier of a funny, hilarious animated movie - The Secret Life of Pets.
ABOUT THE MOVIE
Cast: Louis C.K., Eric Stonestreet, Kevin Hart, Jenny Slate, Ellie Kemper, Lake Bell, Dana Carvey, Hannibal Buress, Bobby Moynihan, Steve Coogan and Albert Brooks
Directed by: Chris Renaud
Co-Director: Yarrow Cheney
Written by: Cinco Paul & Ken Daurio and Brian Lynch
Produced by: Chris Meledandri, Janet Healy
For their fifth fully-animated feature-film collaboration, Illumination Entertainment and Universal Pictures present The Secret Life of Pets, a comedy about the lives our pets lead after we leave for work or school each day.
Comedy superstars Louis C.K., Eric Stonestreet and Kevin Hart make their animated feature-film debuts in The Secret Life of Pets, which co-stars Jenny Slate, Ellie Kemper, Lake Bell, Dana Carvey, Hannibal Buress, Bobby Moynihan, Steve Coogan and Albert Brooks. Illumination founder and CEO Chris Meledandri and his longtime collaborator Janet Healy produce the film directed by Chris Renaud (Despicable Me, Despicable Me 2), co-directed by Yarrow Cheney and written by Cinco Paul & Ken Daurio and Brian Lynch.
A little bit more about the story
We KNOW that our pets will be O-Kay being left alone and we also hoped that they will be able to entertain themselves while being "good and behave", that means not breaking anything or destroying half of the house by the time we return home at the end of the day. As you can see from the official trailer above, its seems that pets are generally bored the minute their owners stepped out of the house, except for a couple who either hosts great parties for the neighbour pets or have totally different personality *cue the head banging poodle*.
Set in the heart of Manhattan apartment building, the story started off with the owners' usual waking up, washing up and saying "byes" to their pets and the minute the door clicks shut, things get a little bit exciting, at least from the pets' perspectives. It looks like the story line is pretty predictable such as barking non stop at squirrels at the tree outside the window - Mel the pug, watching soup opera - Gidget a fluffy cute white Pomeranian (???), gorging on food in the fridge - Chloe the cat or even sitting attentively at the door waiting for owner to return home - Max the terrier. Then WHAM! things started to turn upside down when Max's owner Katie brought home Duke, a sloppy, massive mess of a mongrel who, according to Max has zero interpersonal skills.
There was resentment, hatred and rivalry between Max and Duke while they try to get each other out of the house and be the ONLY pet for Katie. Things get rough in the dog park and both of them found themselves at the back of the animal catcher's van en route to the pound. All seems to be lost when suddenly the van was attacked by a rabbit - Snowball, a pig - Tattoo and a chameleon. From there things started spiral downwards, getting a little bit crazy and exciting for these 2 domesticated canine.
They were being led down into the sewage by Snowball; who once was a magician pet but couldn't get over being abandon by his owner and went a little bit cuckoo, there they were introduced to the pack of Flushed Pets (sort of like the secret society we used to know), who's main aim is to take retribution on humankind.
Once Snowball discovers Max and Duke have an owner they love and live in the lap of luxury, he unleashes his gang to pursue them throughout New York City. Forced to tap into their primal instincts to survive, these unlikely new brothers must navigate the wilds of the urban jungle and make it home safe…all before Katie returns.
Now, every story has a hero and a damsel in distress, over here the hero or HEROINE is Gidget, guess who did she enlist the help to look for and rescue her beau Max the Terrier?
Ok, we shall not give out too much of the story, that will not be fun any more!
Our Review (4 out of 5 Stars)
The Secret Life of Pets is a PG rated animation movie so expect loads of laughter, bizarre scenes and heart racing action together with some cutesy pets (yes even the scaly crocodile is cute and a little bit clumsy).
The story line is simple but the unexpected turn of events made me pay attention to the whole story. In a nutshell it's a story about a dog who resented a newcomer to the family and are getting into each other's throat. During the process, they got into deep trouble and tried their very best to bail themselves out of the situation, hoping to return to the safety of their home before the owner comes home with dinner. Yes, the whole 90+mins of events happened in less than a day. Oh ya, don't forget their friends who weren't much help in rescuing them from the evil lot, instead got themselves in the deep shit too!
However, it was like a roller coaster ride throughout the movie. There were some tense moments where Max & Duke were being chased by the baddie animals, I can imagine the kids gripping the theater seats and wishing these two get away from harm's way FAST!
And because there are so many characters (I counted 10) in this movie, be prepared for loads of chattering and noise from all of them. It can get kinda overwhelming to try to catch up with their dialogue and the things that are happening at the same time at some scenes.
There weren't any tear jerking scenes unless you consider one where Duke went back to his old home to find out that his ex owner had passed away, but even that was not enough to cause some tears to flow, probably a sense of sadness with a hint of sourness in the nose. This is ok with me because I really can't stand kids friendly movie that makes the kids cry, I'd rather I have an enjoyable movie date with my kids than having to deal with sobbing kids in the middle of the movie.
Snowball was a little psycho to my liking, with his croaked eye and evil laughter, his mission to save all pets from humankind is admirable though and looking at the size of his "secret clan" The Flushed Pets I'd say that he's a successful leader and revolutionist. He probably will succeed in carrying out his plan if his brain is not so whacked up.
As simple as the story line may be but as with most of the kids animation movie, there are some positive things that we can discuss with the kids. Such as tolerance and patience towards siblings and friends because every one's different inside. Pets are for life and we shouldn't abandon them just cuz they grow too big, too old, too ugly, too troublesome etc. They are our responsibilities and they only have us to provide for them and let them live a great life.
The Secret Life of Pets, what our animals do while we are away... well, definitely not getting themselves chased or killed by fellow animals *chuckles*
So this September school term break, make a date with your kids and have a wonderful time in the theater watching this movie, you won't be disappointed, I promise you.

Grape Vine Prairie near Grape Vine Springs, both of which were named for the wild mustang grapes that populated the region.
1843 Attempts to sign a treaty of peace and friendship with ten American Indian tribes begin at Grape Vine Springs. General Sam Houston invites the Indians to meet with him at Grape Vine Springs, and he journeys from Austin for the meeting. The Indians fail to appear at the appointed time, so, after waiting a few days (which he spends hunting on the prairie), he returns to Austin. When the Indians arrive several weeks later, the meeting is held at Bird’s Fort. The Treaty of Bird’s Fort is signed, opening North Texas for settlement.
1844 First settlers arrive on the Grape Vine Prairie.
The first recorded white settlement in what would become the modern city occurred in the late 1840s and early 1850s. General Richard Montgomery Gano owned property near Grape Vine and helped organize the early settlement against Comanche raiding parties before leading his band of volunteers to battle in the American Civil War. Growth during the 19th century was slow but steady; by 1890 roughly 800 residents called Grapevine home, supported by such amenities as a newspaper, a public school, several cotton gins, a post office and railroad service. The settlement made continued gains early in the 20th century.
1845 James Cate, Patrick Watson, Macajah Goodwin and others receive headrights from the Peters Land Company and settle on the Grape Vine Prairie near the Dallas County line. Some 600 families arrive in North Texas within a period of three years.
1845 John C. Dunn and his wife Nancy M. Dunn arrive on the Grape Vine Prairie from Harrison County, Texas, where they had lived after leaving Alabama in 1845. Other settlers build cabins near theirs; this little settlement is sometimes called Dunnville.
According to the Grapevine Area History Book, in mid November settlers from Missouri arrive on the Grape Vine Prairie settling near Lonesome Dove and along Denton Creek. Settlers include the Archibald Franklin Leonard family, B. J. Crowley, Hiram Crowley, Dr. J. C. Dunn, Ambrose Foster, John A. Freeman, Zeb Jenkins, Eli Jenkins, and Jimmy West. Descendants of these families still reside in Grapevine today.
1861 Grape Vine sends the first company of volunteers from Tarrant County to the Civil War under the leadership of Captain William Quayle. They are called “Quayle’s Company of Mounted Riflemen, State Volunteers.” Men who are too old to go to war form the “Beef Club” to help keep homes on the Grape Vine Prairie well protected and supplied with food.
1877 Land for sale on the Grape Vine Prairie brings from $10 to $12 per acre. Unimproved land rents at $4 per acre in cash.

HCS @ 80th Gala Concert
The Summer Gala Concert closed HCS' 80th anniversary season in style at All Saints' Church, Hertford on Saturday 29th June 2019. The evening started with a quarter peal of the church bells and a celebratory drink, followed by a performance that included all genres of music associated with the choir. Accordion5 (Director: Ian Watson) and Blue Steel Band (Director: Mark Cherrie) have both performed with the choir before, and HCS were delighted to welcome them back to join in the celebrations.
Musical Director and Conductor: Derek Harrison
Led by Musical Director and Conductor Derek Harrison, together with Accordion5 (Director: Ian Watson) and Blue Steel Band (Director: Mark Cherrie), both of whom have performed with the choir before, and HCS were delighted to welcome them back to join in our celebrations.
Whilst most octogenarians want a quiet birthday party, this was not the case for the 80Th Anniversary Gala Concert of the Hertford Choral Society. This was a colourful event which was reflected by the decorations in All Saints’ Church and the wearing of Hawaiian Leis demonstrating the affection the Society has for the audience. The evening actually started outside the Church where we were blessed with excellent weather, a glass of bubbly and the sound of a quarter peal being rung on the bells; all making for an excellent start to the evening.
It was not only the Church that was colourful, so was the music. The choir was accompanied by two different ensembles: a group of accordions, which came across as “smouldering red”; and, a definitely “cool blue” steel band. The choir can be thought of as a rainbow as they changed their colour during the varied programme. As the Musical Director, Derek Harrison, points out, this combination falls into the category of “unusual”. The two groups, Accordian5 and Blue Steel have worked with the Society before and they provided very well-crafted arrangements of a range of music that would not normally be in their repertoires.
As with many experimental combinations, some things worked well and others not so well; or is it that the ear is not attuned to certain sounds? The colours did come over as muddy at times; this was noticeable in Jesu Joy of Man’s Desiring and in For He Shall Give His Angels where the rhythm of the accordions did not fully match Mendelssohn’s intentions. There were very good colour combinations: Ave Maria had the accompaniment and the choir weaving the lines between the parts, with a special mention of the tenors delicate singing; also, Mozart’s Dies Irae where the accordions made God’s wrath seem that He was making his judgement on the rest of us there and then.
The two ensembles, Blue Steel and Accordian5 are accomplished, exciting professional musicians; and it is to the credit of Derek Harrison that he included them in this celebration. Accordion5 showed their versatility in Karl Jenkins’ Palladio and Gerhard Deutschmann’s Variations on an English Sea Shanty; their brilliant renditions had you transfixed as to where the different sounds were coming from and how it was being produced. As well as traditional calypsos, Blue Steel showed that they have a wide repertoire playing as a modern jazz quintet in October’s Child and a Cuban band in Chan Chan. As with all good groups, both were comfortable and exciting in their performance.
The choir was certainly rainbow and gave us a full range of musical genres: classical pieces; opera; calypso; folk; pop; tango; and, reggae. For the latter, it is difficult for a choir to recreate the Jamaican Patois but this did not detract from the spirit they gave to Marley’s No Woman, No Cry. This is an accomplished choir which is skilfully and musically directed by Derek Harrison. They have a balance and attention to detail which must rate them as one of the best non-auditioning choirs in the country.
Was this Gala Concert a fitting celebration? It certainly was from the moment the conductor appeared in a sombrero and the exciting way the music flowed. The overall colour for this event was a bright celebration yellow with strands of gold to match Derek’s coat!

Teenage Fanclub & The Postcard From Minneapolis
July 2, 2015 Comments (0) Carousel, Encounters, Feature, Interactive, Latest, Slider, Slider1 1
Indie Encounters is a regular feature for guest contributors to reminisce about a memorable indie experience, whether it’s meeting a band, a special gig or even the moment that indie music entered their lives.
In this feature our very own Steve from @IndieOver40 recounts the day he met Teenage Fanclub
On the 5th August 1997, in a record store on Hennepin Avenue in downtown Minneapolis USA, I found myself face to face with Norman Blake of Teenage Fanclub and bizarrely trying to persuade him to write a postcard to a complete stranger in Essex.
Before I reveal whether Norman relented to my request I should explain first what we were both doing in a city 4,000 miles from our own respected hometowns in the UK and what had brought us together on that hot summers day.
By the time I wandered into that record store, I had been living in Minneapolis the best part of 6 weeks, working for an IT company, courtesy of a student exchange programme that had given me that holiest of all grails. A green card. I had just completed my first year at university in the UK as a 28 year old mature student and the prospect of a summer working in America seemed like an opportunity for adventure not to be passed up.
Against the recommendation of the programme organisers I had decided to roll into the US of A without a pre-organised job sorted. So when I stepped off a plane in New York in June 1997 I was armed with just a rucksack, $1,500 in cash & basically no idea what to do next. The fact I ended up in Minneapolis owed more to the fact that it was on the destination board of the next Amtrak departing Penn Station rather than any predetermined plan. After a couple of days of exploring the big apple I was itching to hit the road and Minneapolis was just as good a place as any. There was something enticing about the name as well. Minneapolis sounded like proper America.
I hadn’t taken anything with me to the USA in terms of listening materials. No walkman. No C90s. I decided that if this was going to be an adventure then I should leave behind any remnants of life back home and travel as a blank sheet of paper and that extended to music. Unfortunately the music scene in Minneapolis didn’t provide any tangible thrills per se. Most people I came into contact with seemed to derive most of their pleasure from Hootie & The Blowfish or Young MC in the case of the residents of the frat house from whom I was renting a room that summer.
Which is why I was excited to say the least when one day on the way to work I spotted a billboard announcing a gig at The State Theatre with not only Radiohead as headline act but incredibly Teenage Fanclub as support. I mean what an indietastic combination and right here in the depths of midwestern USA! I was working just around the corner to the State Theatre so I rushed straight round there and purchased two tickets figuring that I could persuade at least one of the small circle of British expats in the city I had fallen in with to go with me.
On the day of the gig I met up with a couple of fellow Brits for lunch, one of whom had already had contact with Radiohead earlier by selling Thom Yorke a smoothie at the department store concession she was working at. She had also discovered that Teenage Fanclub would be signing copies of the album they were plugging in the US, Songs From Northern Britain, at a local record store that afternoon ahead of the gig.
There was no way I was going to miss out on an opportunity to meet one of my idols and so after laying on the Brit charm with my supervisor back at work I was granted permission to disappear from work for an hour in the afternoon. On the way I decided to purchase a postcard to send to my best mate Shan back in the UK as I couldn’t let exciting events like this go unreported back home.
I should probably introduce Shan into the story at this point as without him there wouldn’t be a story. Shan (real name Paul) was one of my oldest friends and essentially my window to that late 80s early 90s indie scene. He always seemed to have a handle of what was hip and happening musically and so through Shan’s record collection I was introduced to bands such as House Of Love & Ultra Vivid Scene at a time I was still scouring Our Price to get the latest hip-house album by DJ Fast Eddie. So the reason why I was an indie kid in the first place was down to Shan and that included hearing Bandwagonesque for the first time over at his place.
So, there I was that afternoon, standing in a queue in a record store in Minneapolis waiting to meet Teenage Fanclub armed only with a postcard showing the city skyline and of course a CD of Songs From Northern Britain which I had just purchased for signing by the band. While I was waiting my thoughts were pretty much dominated by what I was going to actually say to the band. Trying to think of an interesting comment or question without coming across as a bit of a wally.
Which is when the idea started to germinate of getting the band to sign the postcard as well as the CD. My thought process was this. Wouldn’t it be a grin if my mate Shan got a postcard from Teenage Fanclub? It seemed almost genius in its simplicity.
As time was premium I decided to ask them just to sign the back of the blank card and then I would add the message later. However, I needed to at least have Shan’s address on the postcard to make it clear what my aims were. There was also the worry that they might sign in awkward places. So I hastily wrote Shan’s address on the right hand half of the postcard as is customary. By which point I was staring straight into the eyes of Norman Blake.
After exchanging the standard “alright?” introductions and mentioning attending the gig that night I came straight out with it. “You couldn’t do us a favour and sign this postcard to my mate in England, could ya? He’s a massive fan and it would be a right laugh if he got a postcard from you”. Blimey, it sounded ridiculous.
I was just about to bail out of the whole farcical plan with what remained of my dignity and simply hand over the CD for signing, when Norman uttered. “Sure. What do want me to write?” I was gobsmacked to say the least at Norman’s acquiescence but quickly pressed ahead with the plan and with a new found confidence. Instead of asking for just a signature I went all out & suggested he write a few words so that it looked like he was writing to Shan as if he was on an actual holiday.
I was suddenly concerned that this was in the realms of pushing it too far, but I needn’t have worried. After asking for my mates name Norman scribbled in thick black pen but with perfect clarity the following simple words. “Hi Shan, Having a great holiday. Wish you were here. Regards Norman Blake”. He then handed the postcard back and with a wink said, “That’s a great idea by the way. Your mate’s gonna love that”, or words to that effect.
Whilst Norman moved onto signing the CD, which I’d decided on giving to a lady friend back home, I stared at what he had written and was overcome with a sense of pride. That a plan had been devised, executed and successfully completed within the space of mere minutes seemed a major accomplishment. In fact I’d cite this episode in later years on job application forms as an example of how I had set and accomplished a goal in life. Such was my sense of achievement.
The rest of the band did their bit of course and signed the postcard and CD accompanied by quizzical looks and the odd amusing comment. I left that record store with a skip in my step and headed straight for the downtown post office where I waved goodbye to the postcard as it began its long journey to Essex.
A lot happened between that encounter with Teenage Fanclub and when I eventually discovered that my audacious plan had worked. I remained in the USA for another couple of months during which I had many adventures covering thousands of miles that took me through the midwest, deep south and eastern seaboard of that vast country. In fact, meeting Teenage Fanclub seemed to pale into significance compared to other antics and so by the time I returned to the UK I’d almost forgotten I’d even sent that postcard.
Which in a way added to the pleasure when Shan showed me the postcard the first time I visited him at home on my return. Seeing that scrawl in thick black pen again and that large Norman that seemed to leap off the white backed card brought back that summers day in Minneapolis with such clarity. It also looked much more bona fide as it now carried the US & UK post office stamps as evidence that it had travelled 4000 miles to reach it’s final destination. Shan also recounted his disbelief when he first picked it up off his hallway mat one morning but that he never doubted its authenticity. He knew me well enough to know it was the sort of hair brained scheme only I could come up.
So that was how I got Teenage Fanclub to write a postcard from Minneapolis. Naturally a photo of the postcard would have been a perfect accompaniment to this tale and so I recently text Shan requesting he send one over to me. Rather sadly his response was short but by no means devastating. “Lost that years ago” was simply what I received in reply rather than the desired photo.
At least the recipient of the signed CD wasn’t so negligent and so I am at least able to show some evidence of my encounter.
And as for the gig itself……that’s another story.

‘Barbalien: Red Planet #1’ - Advance Comic Book Review
Black Hammer’s epic, multi-year storyline started with an incredibly strong premise: What if Golden-Age superheroes were trapped on a Twilight Zone-like farm where they couldn’t leave? Then, it became about this family unit; the intoxicating characters were the most important aspect of the narrative, as the storyline sort of diminished and became secondary. Then, it became about stories. What do stories mean, why do they matter, where do they come from? And in its immensity, while the main series had a conclusion in that they overcame an adversary, it never quite felt final, because they didn’t all overcome their own problems, and thematic elements were just too big to tangle with.
Even during the series, creator Jeff Lemire worked on side stories, joining the structure with meaty cartilage. Now, with the main series complete and questions left unanswered, we’re given two stories focusing on individual team members. Last week, it was Colonel Weird, and now it’s Barbalien - a gay alien from the planet Mars. Something tells me that there is a greater reason for these side stories to exist, a return to the main storyline, otherwise: why? We’ll see…
Barbalien: Red Planet seems to be a sort of “coming out” story for our red-skin-shifting hero. Half of the story takes place on Mars after he’s been found out to be gay, and the other is on 1980s Earth as the gay community at large is dealing with the AIDS epidemic. In a very specific way, this differs from other side stories in the Black Hammer universe which often feel forlorn and despondent; this feels full of hope, vigor, and discovery. It’s ready for a fight, and I completely dig that.
Lemire has welcomed a few other writers to tackle this world, and in this case he hands over scripting duty to Tate Brombal, a writer who does a remarkable job of bringing us into Barbalien’s multilayered world: an alien on Earth, closeted amidst an especially tumultuous time period for gay men, and facing persecution on his home planet.
The look and feel of the book is also quite wonderful. Spiral City is earthy and muted, aside from the red of the protestors' words and the nightlife that Barbalien stumbles into. It’s beautifully well thought out, and anyone looking for a comic about the struggles of the LGBTQ+ community's past or a John Carter of Mars element, this is it. Like with all of the Black Hammer series, I’m here for it!
Creative Team: Tate Brombal (script), Jeff Lemire and Tate Brombal (story), Gabriel Hernández Walta (art), Jordie Bellaire (color art), Aditya Bidikar (letters), Daniel Chabon (editor), Chuck Howitt (assistant editor), Ethan Kimberlin (designer), Josie Christensen (digital art technician)

The Irish manufacturing sector employs over 250,000 people and accounts for 32% of Ireland’s GDP – significantly higher than the European average of 15% and Germany at 21%, according to Martin Shanahan (pictured), CEO of IDA Ireland. Manufacturing also plays a key role in helping to address the regional imbalance in the Irish economy with more than 80% of operations outside of Dublin.
Martin Shanahan was a keynote speaker at the recent National Manufacturing and Supply Chain Conference & Exhibition, held at the Citywest Convention Centre in Dublin. His presentation was entitled ‘Importance of Manufacturing to the Irish Economy’.
The Irish manufacturing sector is characterised by a wide diversity of activities and “Ireland punches well above its weight in supplying international markets,” he pointed out. “Ireland is globally recognised as an innovation hub across many sectors.”
Indeed, the Irish economy has been the fastest growing in the Euro zone for the past four years and employment at 2.25 million is currently at record levels. Ireland’s strong economic track record, political stability and talent base are all important factors in attracting FDI.
However, the disruptive changes generated by the unfolding fourth Industrial revolution (Industry 4.0) create both challenges and opportunities for Irish industry. “There is an opportunity for Ireland to be a global leader in advanced manufacturing,” he said, “but Irish companies must evolve and adapt new technologies and skill sets.”
To take advantage of this opportunity, the IDA is encouraging greater interplay between multinational and indigenous companies. To plug a significant gap in Ireland’s industrial infrastructure, an Advanced Manufacturing Centre is planned for Limerick, which will provide “a collaborative environment focused on core technologies,” Martin Shanahan explained. “The investment will complement existing investments.”
The IDA Ireland head continued: “The State must continue to invest in advanced manufacturing technology.”
Brexit also provides opportunities and threats. IDA Ireland has been successful in securing a substantial number of Brexit-related investments with 55 companies choosing Ireland entailing 4,500+ associated jobs. However, he urged Irish business to prepare for the worst case scenario. “Planning should be based on a ‘no deal’ Brexit as it is still a distinct possibility,” he warned.

2020 has been a difficult year for many. Though we are not able to come together as in previous years to commemorate the service and sacrifice of our armed services, we still remember.
The Last Post, played by Chloe Brown. MacTaggart Scott Loanhead Brass Band.
Last Post – Chloe Brown. 08 November 2020
The band are getting back together!
For the first time since March, the band are now allowed to start playing together again. It will not be the same as before as we will be have to put in a lot of new measures to continue to keep our players and communities safe.
The band committee are working hard to get this organised, and will release more information once it is available.
Our response to the Coronavirus pandemic
The MacTaggart Scott Loanhead Brass Band takes the health and wellbeing of it’s players as a priority. As such, we have decided to suspend all band rehearsals and engagements until further notice due to the uncertainty over coronavirus.
We currently don’t know how long such a suspension might last, and so upcoming engagements will be under review on a reguloar basis. We will provide updates as decisions are made about individual engagements and new information is released by the relevant authorities.
We look forward to being back together in the bandhall soon.

The Scottish Championships 2020
Our recent result at the 2020 Scottish Championships was disappointing for many of our players. However the committee would like to put forward our thanks to all players for the dedication they have shown in preparing for this competition, and to our Musical Director – George Cameron – for bringing the piece to life.
We do not believe our 9th place finish was in keeping with our performance on the day. However the adjudicators felt differently, and we respect this decision.
The band continues to develop a rich sound, and we look forward to future engagements and competitions to show that this result does not define us as a band.
Friends of the Band Christmas Concert
The annual Friends of the Band Christmas concert has been announced!
Taking place in the Loanhead Miners Club from 7.30pm on Wednesday the 4th December.
Tickets are available on the door at £10 for adults and £5 for concessions (students and under 18’s). Join us for a selection of seasonal music by the MacTaggart Scott Loanhead Brass Band as well as the Youth, Roots, and Rootlets bands too.

Tevez eyeing crucial first trophy
As the banner hanging from the Stretford End ticks round to 35 to mark the number of years since the Blues won their last major honour, thoughts at Eastlands are turning to when, rather than if, City can strip it down.
The Europa League would appear to represent their best bet, having secured a place in the last 32 with a match to spare.
But City also have the FA Cup to aim for, as well as the Premier League given they are only three points adrift of new leaders Arsenal.
And, in a wide-ranging interview with the Blues media department, Tevez feels once that first trophy is in the cabinet it will pave the way for many more.
"We need to keep fighting in order to win a title, just like we have been doing," Tevez told www.mcfc.co.uk.
"That could then turn into many more trophies."

THESE GUYS INHALED
It worked for New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, maybe it will work for
Terence Hallinan in his race for mayor -- smoking pot that is.
District Attorney Hallinan kicked off the conference for the National
Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws on Thursday -- and told
reporters that while he smoked marijuana years ago, the only drugs he takes
now are prescription.
Hallinan, who was the first to announce his mayoral candidacy, is part of
the honest politico pothead ranks. That list includes Bloomberg -- who is
the NORML poster boy this month.
Bloomberg unwillingly stars in a $500,000 NORML campaign where he responds
to whether he smoked pot by saying, "You bet I did. And I enjoyed it."
Other notable politicians who've passed the Dutchie include ex-U.S. Senator
Bill Bradley, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, Vice President Al Gore and
the honorable U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.
But don't bring that bong out the closet just yet. After Hallinan's
welcoming speech to a packed room of 400 people in suits and tie-dye at the
Crowne Plaza Union Square Hotel, he said he supported medical marijuana but
not legalization.
Times have changed, he said, because when he started working as a lawyer in
San Francisco, someone caught in possession of even one seed could be
charged with a felony. Now the state has Proposition 215 on the books,
effectively legalizing the use of marijuana for medical purposes.
The law conflicts with federal statutes, however, leading to a raid of Bay
Area pot clubs by U.S. Drug Enforcement agents in February. A Supreme Court
decision last year cleared the way for federal action, as the court
effectively ruled that federal law trumps state law.
Hallinan and local authorities had allowed clubs to operate, telling the
feds to "lay off our marijuana clubs,'' but he shied away from repeating
that admonition Thursday.
Meanwhile, NORML has put medicinal marijuana at the forefront of its
campaign work and wants to see the drug decriminalized.
"Adult pot smokers are tax-paying, hardworking citizens who should not be
singled out because they smoke marijuana," NORML spokesman Nicholas
Thimmesch said.
The organization, which was founded in 1970, wants all pot smokers to come
out of the closet. Thimmesch said the Bloomberg posters were created to
illustrate that people from all walks of life, including politicians, use or
have used marijuana.
Supervisor Mark Leno has smoked pot -- and inhaled.
"I'm ready for my close-up Mayor Bloomberg," Leno said in response to
whether he had used marijuana in the past.
Leno was honored by NORML on Thursday for helping to implement Prop. 215, in
1996. He was responsible for drafting the Department of Public Health's
medical marijuana identification program.
While our very own Mayor Willie Brown was supportive of Prop. 215, he was
none too pleased when The Examiner popped the pot question.
"I've never smoked anything, not tobacco, not marijuana," Brown said through
spokesman PJ Johnston. "But I don't think it's any of your business anyway,"
The NORML conference will run through Saturday. The organization will hold
panel discussions on a variety of topics, including the basics on how to
avoid a pot bust.

Courts Slow to Rule on Constitutionality As Police Quickly Embrace
ADVANCES BLUR LINE BETWEEN PRIVACY, PROTECTION
Police peer into homes without residents ever knowing.
They track a person's every movement - driving to work, to the store
and even picking up the kids from school.
Authorities keep tabs on suspects and look to uncover crimes with all
sorts of high-tech gadgets, methods that are legal but may skirt the
constitutional right to privacy, some legal experts say.
Drug agents who suspect someone is growing an indoor marijuana farm
can get warrants to use thermal-imaging cameras - devices that can
literally see through walls to find hot spots, or tell-tale signs of
the high-intensity lights that are essential for indoor pot farms.
"Technology is certainly becoming an asset to law enforcement that is
valuable," said Athens-Clarke police Lt. Mike Hunsinger, commanding
officer of the Northeast Georgia Regional Drug Task Force.
"We're learning to use it where it applies and take advantage of the
opportunities it gives us," said Hunsinger, whose task force
regularly uses thermal-imaging devices during investigations.
The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that thermal-imaging searches are
legal, as long as police present enough justification to convince a
judge to sign a search warrant.
But Benjamin Pearlman, an Athens defense attorney, is trying to have
thermal-imaging evidence tossed from a client's case because he
believes it's an invasion of privacy that Georgia law doesn't allow.
"There's no specific statute in the state of Georgia enabling police
to do thermal-imaging searches," said Pearlman, an assistant public
defender in the Western Judicial Circuit.
"A search warrant commands an officer to enter onto someone's
premises to search for a specific thing, something tangible that you
can touch, that a jury can examine," Pearlman said.
When it comes to enforcing state law, the state constitution should
trump the U.S. Constitution, the attorney said.
"With thermal imaging, you are actually going inside someone's house,
in a way, into a place where people have an expectation of privacy,"
Pearlman said. "Georgia is a state that has a greater privacy right
under its own constitution, and that's why I don't think it would be
too much of a stretch to say the legislature didn't provide
specifically for this kind of search."
The marijuana farm case Pearlman is representing hasn't gone to trial
yet. A Clarke County Superior Court judge rejected his request to
suppress the thermal-imaging evidence, and the state Court of Appeals
is now considering the defense attorney's arguments.
GPS tracking is another type of spy-like technology police frequently use.
A member of the Northeast Georgia Regional Drug Task Force, for
example, convinced a judge to let him install a GPS device on the car
of a suspected marijuana "master grower" who maintained indoor pot
farms and helped other people to set up their own.
"This surveillance is imperative to identify the location of indoor
marijuana grow houses and to identify co-conspirators," the officer
wrote in a search warrant application.
The warrant a judge signed allowed the officer to secretly install
the tracking device for 60 days, and also to repair it and replace
batteries when needed.
GPS devices have become a constitutional "hot topic," according to
University of Georgia law professor Donald E. Wilkes Jr.
Before the new technology, police used to place homing devices on
cars, but would have to follow in the general vicinity to hear the
"beeps" from the transmitter.
"GPS is wholly a horse of a different color, because it's much more
intrusive than just a beeper," said Wilkes, who has taught criminal
procedure law for nearly four decades. "These new devices allow the
police - without ever moving - to know the exact physical location of
every place the automobile moves over an extensive period of time."
The U.S. Supreme Court has not considered the constitutionality of
GPS tracking devices as a police surveillance tool, though a federal
appellate court last year ruled that search warrants were needed
before authorities could use them for an investigation.
As technology continues to evolve at a quickening pace, police will
push the boundaries of how to use it, but under the watchful eyes of
those who are concerned with preserving the constitutional
protections against unreasonable searches and seizures.
"Technology comes about faster than the legal process can adapt to
it, so many times when we have technology at our disposal, we go with
what's based on current law, practices and procedures in utilizing it
to make sure we're using it both legally and ethically," said
Hunsinger, the drug task force commander.
Wilkes believes technology already has allowed authorities to
overstep their bounds.
"This is an ever-growing threat to our Fourth Amendment rights and
values, and every advance in technology and every new invention of a
device that enhances the ability to spy, monitor, intrude on people
and pierce the zone of privacy is immediately seized upon by police
and put into operation," he said.
"Then, the courts are forced to decide, 'Are we really going to allow
this technique that allows criminals to be caught?' " Wilkes said.
"What we've seen is the courts have incrementally allowed more
invasive searches, and they are reluctant to say, 'This is it; this
is where it stops.' "

[INTERVIEW] 'Tourism tops Latvia-Korea cooperation'
By Yi Whan-woo
Janis Mazeiks
Latvia is putting a priority on tourism in its relations with Korea, especially after the success of a temporary direct air route between the two countries in May and June, according to a senior Latvian diplomat.
In a recent interview with The Korea Times in Seoul, Undersecretary of State Janis Mazeiks said traveling to Latvia not only offers chances to explore the Baltic state, but in the long term, to discover investment and business opportunities.
"The first thing that should be mentioned is tourism," Mazeiks, also the political director of the Latvian foreign ministry, said when asked about top areas of cooperation.
About 95 percent of each of three flights were occupied when the two countries temporarily opened a direct route between Incheon and the Latvian capital of Riga on May 24, May 30 and June 7.
The success came amid a growing number of Korean tourists to Latvia. The figure reached 10,000 in 2018 on the centenary of Latvia's independence. The country seeks to increase the combined number of Korean visitors to three Baltic states, including Estonia and Lithuania, to 20,000 by 2020.
Mazeiks referred to the 2018 figure as "a good start but yet a small start" for investment.
"We're not very well known in Korea despite the fact we are a member of the EU, OECD and NATO and have very high standards when it comes to the economy," he said, adding Korea accounts for 0.06 percent of foreign direct investment to Latvia.
"Tourism is a very good start, because tourists also happen to be business people they possibly can find business opportunities," Mazeiks said.
Mazeiks picked the logging industry as another area of cooperation, pointing out Latvia is one of the biggest timber suppliers to Korea and that the two sides have room to work together on forestry.
He speculated the vice-ministerial Joint Economic Committee launched by Korea and the three Baltic states in Seoul, April 26, will give "more visibility" to each other.
The inaugural committee meeting had about 20 government officials from the foreign and other relevant ministries.
Mazeiks was the head of the Latvian delegation.
The parties discussed ways to expand cooperation on trade and investment, ICT, science and technology, startups, transportation, tourism, education and agriculture.
"We believe there is a lot of synergy we can build on," Mazeiks said.

Signing News
Dean Walker has agreed his third season with Murrayfield Racers.
The 23-year-old has helped the Racers win back-to-back doubles in his first two years with the club, a tally that includes a memorable success in the 2019/20 NIHL North Cup.
The ‘D’ Man has been a consistent performer in the Scottish National League (SNL) over the past few seasons, having previously represented his country at junior level.
Walker, who becomes the sixth player from last season’s defensive unit to return for another year, says he is delighted to remain with the club.
“Last season was great and proving everyone wrong in the NIHL North Cup just topped it off,” he said. “Hopefully we can build on last season’s success.
“I can say by far it’s the best changing room I have been involved in – you couldn’t ask for better teammates, everyone just plays for each other.
“I felt that I improved a lot last season, more towards the end. I was getting more confidence and scoring goals.
“I aim to keep on improving my game nest season and help the team as much as I can. Hopefully we can add some more silverware and keep our fans singing.”

Strip Nude For Your Forbidden Photos
Glorious news for horror-loving New Yorkers who'll want to burrow inside something cool and groovy to escape the July heat -- the Quad Cinema is screening six restored giallo films from July 19th through 25th and they're some real doozies! A couple of which I have covered here at MNPP before, like just recently The Fifth Cord starring a spectacularly mustachioed Franco Nero...
... more than just a mustache ride though this film is truly gorgeous to gaze upon, having been lensed by Vittorio Storaro right in between The Conformist and Last Tango in Paris. This sucker will look absolutely smashing on a big screen. Another one they're showing is the delightfully loopy and odd The Forbidden Photos of a Lady Above Suspicion, which I posted about right here...
... it's got pleather costumes and sheer walls and scuba men and pills, so many pills. It's a ton of fun. And as if that wasn't already enough they're screening 1975's Strip Nude For Your Killer, which might be my favorite giallo title of them all, and which stars (and gratuitously exploits over and over) the gorgeous Nino Castelnuovo of The Umbrellas of Cherbourg fame...
... and yes he spends half the movie half-naked, as we previously well documented in this old post here. Look upon that gif above and tell me you don't need to see that on a big screen! If you're not in New York all three of those films have been released on blu-ray recently, which is what got me to post about them at the time; click their titles to pick up a copy. Really you ought to do that even if you do live in New York, they're all worth owning.
Those three aren't the only films they're screening though, there are three more (including a Fulci) that I've never seen, and if you hit the jump I'll share the info on all six of the films...
The Fifth Cord
Luigi Bazzoni, 1971, Italy, 93m, DCP
Director/co-screenwriter Bazzoni avails himself of visionary cinematographer Vittorio Storaro in turning la dolce vita moody after hard-partying reporter Franco Nero finds he's become a jinx and a person of interest as acquaintances are slain with ambidextrous amputations. The formidable female contingent includes Silvia Monti (A Lizard in a Woman’s Skin), Agostina Belli, Rossella Falk (The Legend of Lylah Clare), Ira [von] Fürstenberg, and then-U.S. expatriate Pamela Tiffin. In Italian with English subtitles
The Forbidden Photos of a Lady Above Suspicion
Luciano Ercoli, 1970, Italy/Spain, 96m, DCP
Peripatetic Spanish character actor Simón Andreu, in the first of three consecutive movies for director/producer/editor Ercoli, is the blackmailer holding the titular compromising shots over the head of newly-wed Dagmar Lassander (A Hatchet for the Honeymoon). Is her BFF Nieves Navarro (Ercoli’s off-screen leading lady, billed on-screen as Susan Scott) in on the sleazy scheming? Co-scripted by the prolific Ernesto Gastaldi (Torso et al.) and the film’s female assistant director, Mahnahén Velasco, with a score by the never-less-than-great Ennio Morricone. In Italian with English subtitles
The Iguana with the Tongue of Fire
Riccardo Freda, 1970
Giallo alights in greener pastures (Ireland!) but the blood still runs red for this utterly gnarled tale of family secrets and deadly lies. After a young woman’s ghastly slaying, Dublin cop Luigi Pistilli (of Sergio Leone’s Clint Eastwood movies) tries to rattle skeletons in the closet of possibly implicated diplomat Anton Diffring—but much more comes tumbling out as the bodies pile up. With Valentina Cortese (Day for Night) and Dagmar Lassander as mother and daughter. In Italian with English subtitles
One on Top of the Other (aka Perversion Story)
Lucio Fulci, 1969
This rare U.S.-lensed giallo includes San Francisco settings and less violence than the norm, strengthening the story’s nods to Vertigo. Is head-turning stripper Marisa Mell the woman she appears to be, or is she the thought-to-be-dead mousy wife of doctor Jean Sorel? His mistress Elsa Martinelli, his sister-in-law Faith Domergue (once groomed for stardom by Howard Hughes), and detective John Ireland want to know. Scored by Riz Ortolani.
The Possessed
Luigi Bazzoni/Franco Rossellini, 1965
This striking psychological thriller perches equidistant between Antonioni-influenced art cinema and the giallo wave, inspired by a real-life mystery and evocatively lensed in black-and-white by cinematographer Leonida Barboni. When Peter Baldwin’s romantic obsession Virna Lisi dies under cloudy circumstances, his quest for answers in her home village is met with cold shoulders and outright fear. Featuring future journalist and critic Pia Lindstrom, in a rare acting role. In Italian with English subtitles
Strip Nude for Your Killer
Andrea Bianchi, 1975
Bianchi (Cry of a Prostitute) marinates in ’70s loucheness with giallo supernova Edwige Fenech; she works and plays with shutterbug Nino Castelnuovo at queen bee Amanda’s modeling agency, where just about everyone is glamorous. When a switchblade-wielding, black leather-clad killer starts cutting a swath through the agency’s portfolio, the audience is left to guess who’s the prime suspect and who’s the next unwilling victim. The score is by Berto Pisano (Death Smiles on a Murderer). In Italian with English subtitles
Labels: Franco Nero, gratuitous, horror, Nino Castelnuovo
This all sounds so great! And hello, Mr. Castelnuovo.
Which movie is that first image from?
Jason Adams said...
Anon -- that is supposedly from "One on Top of the Other (aka Perversion Story)" although I haven't seen that one so I am relying on google to be correct :)

A Very Coco Christmas by Robert Bryndza
It’s 1985, and eighteen-year-old Coco is home in London for Christmas after her first term at Aberystwyth University. She has started to write, and fallen hopelessly in love with Daniel Pinchard, a devilishly handsome musician from the wrong side of the river.
But Coco’s overbearing mother has other plans and resumes her campaign for Coco to meet and marry the ‘right sort of man’, preferably Kenneth, son of her best friends Adrian and Yvonne Rosebury, who will be joining them for Christmas.
As snow falls softly over the city, and Coco tries to juggle a series of hilarious events, the stage is set for a Christmas lunch like no other. A Very Coco Christmas is a delicious, stand-alone ‘prequella’ to the smash-hit Coco Pinchard series, with a glorious cast of characters including Daniel’s mother Ethel, sister Meryl – and a turkey called Jean Paul Belmondo...
This is a prequella to the Coco Pinchard series, and I absolutely loved it! I read the blurb, but you never quite know what the book will be like until you start reading it and I read it within an hour! It was unputdownable!
In just over 50 pages I learnt so much about the characters and Coco and her family. Coco is coming home for the Christmas holidays from her university in Wales. She doesn't really want to go back home to her parents as she would rather stay with her new boyfriend Daniel. Coco's Mother is incredibly overbearing and would in no way approve of Daniel, him being totally beneath Coco's snobbish Mother's expectations. Things however get set in motion for a very funny Christmas and Coco's Mother ends up with more guests than she expected!
I think Mrs Pinchard has got to be my favourite character. She made this book for me as well as the turkey called Jean Paul Belmondo!
I have not read the rest of the Coco Pinchard series, but I certainly want to now! I think Robert Bryndza is definitely one to watch!

Upstarts in the Southeast?
Over Christmas I read Ed Walsh‘s excellent autobiography Upstart. Upstart details the creation of the National Institute of Higher Education, Limerick, which subsequently became the University of Limerick. Given where I work, but also because it’s a fine story, I found it unputdownable. In part Upstart details the political machinations required to get UL university status. I wonder if the Institutes in the Southeast saw an early draft?
Today’s ‘news’ as reported by Sean Flynn that the Minister for Education will announce the creation of a technological university for the Southeast might give the impression it was. Sean Flynn took to Twitter recently to say the Department of Education has denied it is going ahead, but “big wheels in Cabinet want it .it (sic) will happen!”
It sounds like there have been a serious discussion ongoing about a new university behind closed doors. Given the state of the State’s finances, and also the sector most of the contributors to this blog work in, as well as the contribution of universities in general to Irish life, I think this news, or leak, or whatever, is worth a thread on this blog.

Norman Wysesays:
8 universities is a good number for Ireland (same as Scotland before polytechnic upgrades) and provides good geographic coverage. NUI Maynooth is actually the anomaly, not WIT/south east. This should allow the south east to kick on, just as the mid-west did after the upgrade of UL. There is a cost to allowing 12% of the national population to slide into an abyss, and bizarrely enough, considering the prosperous history of the south east, the region has become worse off even than the BMW region.
Those against should note that the creation of a technological university for the south east will result in one less third level institute, since WIT and IT Carlow will merge. This is actually not particularly sensible from an ‘excellence’ point of view, since WIT is at a higher level than IT Carlow, but should result in savings in the coming years that can be reinvested in the new university in order to bring it on.
As to complaints about lower numbers of a staff with PhDs than the existing 7 universities, it looks as though the new university will be compelled to keep teaching at levels 5-7, which means this is probably more or less as it should be.
What enterprise agency chiefs say on policy should be taken with a pinch of salt and there is no Whitaker among them who will speak out of line.
The argument in a small country that the southeast needs a a university to have the potential to have job creation is just old style parochialism — remember ‘Welcome to Parlon Country’ and the lucky bag decentralisaation plan?
This proposal is a mini-verson of that.
If the argument is that university research is the route to increasing employment, then apart from the locals who want something to brag about without any direct local cost to themselves, the dream is as deluded as the one that Ireland could create the equivalent of one-third of the high-tech jobs in Califirnia’s Silicon Valley in a decade.
This fairytale became official policy even though most of the high tech hopes of the 1990s had either gone bust or had been acquired by US firms including private equity.
About as transiently meaningful as a politician changing his shirt before a funeral. This may be heresy, but really is this of any economic significance?
Ireland has, what, about 63% of leaving certs moving through 3rd level? There are 500K unemployed and the Smart Economy policy has utterly failed. Shouldn’t something more directly relevant to supporting businesses such as a workfare program be in the works?
Shay Begorrahsays:
I was always under the impression that Ireland suffered at the harder end of the sciences due to the comparatively small size of the the departments – are there advantages to either student education or research in this more diverse/fragmented approach?
Regardless of the answer if there was a competition for grandiosity in the naming of Universities we still have ground to catch up on our neighbours in Blighty, I counted 128 Universities to our 7 or about 130% more University per head of population, even with an eighth “University” we would still have a lower academic self importance index.

@ Norman Wyse
“There is a cost to allowing 12% of the national population to slide into an abyss”
The South East might be neglected but for the real abyss you only need to drive a few miles east from UL to Southhill. The cost of redressing 60 years of institutional ineptitude was put at €3bn several years ago.
http://www.limerickregeneration.org/whatsitallabout.html
A question: Has the number attending uni. gone up much since 2008 (one assumes if there are no jobs out there for school leavers then it should have done) and is there a need for more capacity to cope with that?
If a large number did take shelter from the recession by going into uni. since 2008 in the hope of ‘riding it out’ will we start to see them joining the dole queues from this year followed by annual spikes in the unemployment numbers until the situation improves?
Or will they all opt to stay on and do their Masters or maybe even take all that expensive education abroad?
There may be a good case for a university in Waterford, but it’s not clear that WIT should become that university. University lecturers are people who do research and teaching. There are some really good researchers in WIT, but the great majority of the staff are not involved in research at all. If those staff transfer over to the university, there will a huge legacy of non research-active staff.
Switching from an IT to a university might also be bad news for many existing staff. A lot of ITs close during the summer and the staff go on holiday for months at a time. Universities keep working all year. What will all those who are used to months of holiday do when they have to stay in the new university all summer doing research, working with companies, and supervising research students?
A better plan might be to establish a new university in Waterford. Existing IT staff could apply to work there in competition with anyone else seeking an academic job. Initially the university might be very small, but it could grow over time.
The existing IT could be slowly run down with its budget moved to the university as existing staff retire. Or the existing IT could simply be closed and the staff made redundant, and the entire budget moved to the university over a couple of years.
There are a few fashionable ideas doing the rounds these days that appear to have little or not backing but they are spouted continuously nonetheless.
1. Fewer universities would be better. Really? You get economies of scale but you lose competitive and collaborative activity which is very healthy.
2. Universities are mainly about high quality research. Really? This is the most ‘fashionable’ — as in of the day — truism you are likely to hear. Mostly, industry wants good degree graduates, that means good teaching and teachers. There is going to be a big push back against this idea that universities == research.
3. Upgrading WIT/IT Carlow would be a drain on the state. Really? Might it not make good on old investment? There are 1200/1300 staff already employed across both IoTs and around 12,000 students as it is.
I won’t make any south east arguments, because the case should be obvious. Although it is never 100% possible to determine cause, there is little difference between the south east and the west and mid-west except the lack of prioritisation in areas such as higher level education. (I don’t remember reading that part in the constitution that said that the south east would be wound down over the next century… relative to formerly famine stricken wastelands.)
The real tragedy here is that DIT will be upgraded automatically, despite the superabundance of universities in the Dublin region. This is the real disgrace.
Rather than citing how small Ireland is to have 8/9 universities, maybe we should talk about how small the Dublin region is to have 4/5! A DIT upgrade would also turn the IoT sector into a purely ‘regional’ affair thus diminishing the sector even further. Give it 3/4 years and there’ll be jokes about wellington boots and agricultural courses…
You have a link to a blog, apparently without a profile; so who are you and are you one of our cherished vested interests?
On Monday Minster Richard Bruton signed off on 2 press releases announcing a total of 75 new jobs in 2 firms by 2014; in each there is a reference to ‘high value jobs,’ departmentalspeak for jobs in tech companies; meanwhile, German Mittelstand (SMEs) focus on market niches, typically in staid-sounding areas such as mechanical engineering rather than sexy ones like software and dominate the global market in an astonishing range of areas. They take on 83% of all apprentices in Germany, more than their share of total employment. The apprenticeship system has roots in the Middle Ages, when master craftsmen across Europe taught young men the skills of stonemasonry, carpentry, and roof-making.
Germany has a stronger economy than France but half the percentage of young adults with a college degree.
Grover J. “Russ” Whitehurst, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution think-tank in Washington DC, commented last year that France had increased its percentage of young adults with college degrees by 13 percentage points in the previous ten years whereas Germany’s output of college graduates had hardly budged, yet the economic growth rate of Germany has exceeded that of France over this same period.
Whitehurst said obviously increasing educational attainment is not a magic bullet for economic growth. Education credentials operate within boundaries and possibilities that are set by other characteristics of national economies. “We must attend to these if more education is to translate into more jobs,'” he said.
South Korean 15-year-olds rank first in reading and maths, and third (behind Finland and Japan) in science, according to the OECD’s international PISA tests. The Korean system is the closest one can get to a factory-type system.
Parents view a third level education as essential to ensure a middle class lifestyle.
However, Korean officials are alarmed that many graduates are not finding jobs – -more than 40% in the past year, even though the Korean economy was doing pretty well. That is why President Lee Myung-bak is promoting alternatives.
Late last year the president urged employers to hire more high school graduates and promised, as an example, to hire three into the presidential Blue House this year and three more next year. “Professional footballers just need to be good at kicking balls,” Lee said. “They don’t need to graduate from Seoul National University.”
The government is also investing in vocational schools designed to put young people on a career track without going to college. “Reckless entrance into college,” Lee has said, is “bringing huge losses to households and the country alike.”
The New York Times reported a few months ago that for decades, a bachelor’s degree was all that was required to become a pharmacist. That changed in 2004 when a doctorate replaced the bachelor’s degree as the minimum needed to practice. Physical therapists once needed only bachelor’s degrees, too, but the profession will require doctorates of all students by 2015 – – the same year that nursing leaders intend to require doctorates of all those becoming nurse practitioners.
In the US, currently, most schools operate two 14-week semesters (plus part-time summer study), a utilisation of a mere 50% of the year – – similar to Ireland.
US student debt is rising and people are beginning to wonder if it’s really worth it to begin a work life if lucky, saddled with debt?
Bruton promotes ‘high value jobs,’ but we are generally thankful for mind-numbing desk jobs.
It is a false dichotomy to claim office work is knowledge-oriented while physical work is devoid of knowledge. Much of so-called white-collar work is mind-numbingly boring and that can apply to “knowledge economy,” work, as much as paper processing routines. Professions have developed jargon to give a gloss to what is often the mundane. Why has dentistry a perceived higher social status than plumbing when income levels can be similar.
@Michael Hennigan
I’m an ‘anonymous coward’ as some boards used to say. 🙂 Kind of prefer to be judged on what I say rather than who I am… I am from Waterford, which is why I understand the issue, but I’m not interested in making arguments that only apply to Waterford or the south east. But these days speaking of regional equality is considered tantamount to parochialism, which of course is ridiculous. “Act only according to that maxim whereby you can, at the same time, will that it should become a universal law,” Kant. Note that Kant’s categorical imperative would not preclude rationalisation of the university sector…
Interesting post by the way.
Edgar Morgenrothsays:
We have been over this ground on this blog before. It is worth looking at some data:
For Waterford (city and county) in 2006 25.3% of those who had completed their education held a 3rd level qualification (ranked 12th) . The national average was 29.1%.
It won’t come as any surprise that Dublin (all four counties) had the highest proportion with a 3rd level qualification (35.9%), followed by Kildare(31.8%), Galway (31.8%), Wicklow (31.5%), Cork (29.9%), Meath (29.2%), Sligo (27.8%), Clare (27.5%) and Limerick (27%). Bringing up the rear is Monaghan 20.8%.
This pattern is very persistent – the correlation between the ranking in 1971 and 2006 is 0.81. There is also significant divergence (i.e. counties with a high proportion with 3rd level grow that proportion faster than those counties with a low share).
So Sligo which has an IT has a higher proportion of the population with a 3rd level qualification than Limerick, which has a University and does a lot better than Waterford.
This suggests that switching from one type of institution (IT) to another (university) is not sufficient to make a difference – certainly not in the short to medium term. There is a lot more to this, but I do not sense a great appetite in looking at this in more depth.
Edwardsays:
“Rather than citing how small Ireland is to have 8/9 universities, maybe we should talk about how small the Dublin region is to have 4/5!”
The Dublin region contains just under 4/9 of the population. It is also a region centred on a global-sized city, which allows it to compete for plenty of national and international staff and students.
@Edgar
Regional universities aren’t about education outcomes. Same way regional hospitals aren’t about health outcomes. Look to the usual Irish public policy motive: local jobs in your local area of your local TD working for you.
@Edward – ” local jobs in your local area of your local TD working for you” in that case we should not worry whether its called unversity or IT??
@Edward
When you have a large concentration of population, such as we have in Dublin, you expect to have more reach with fewer universities. Instead in Ireland, we have 4 universities in the greater Dublin area (1.8m), and will probably have a 5th soon (1 university for 360K people), whereas the south east region, with 460K people currently has no university. This is ridiculous, and one wonders why the charge of parochialism was never made with regard to full university status awarded to NUIM in 1997 or is currently not made with regard to DIT who are a shoe-in for university status. How many universities have to be built in the GDA before the critical eye turns inwards, I wonder?
Furthermore, if the south east does get a university, it will do so at the expense of two institutes of technology. Those shouting about the waste of funds might look to Cork, Limerick, Galway and Dublin where in addition to university provision there are also one or more IoTs. In the west, with a smaller population than the south east, you have 1 university and 2 IoTs.
I’d be more worried about the sectoral interests in our third level elite than the vested interests in the south east (The technological university and its vested interests: http://normanwyse.com/cms/node/27). Trust me, if parochial vested interests in Waterford and the south east were anything like what was in Limerick or Galway, the WIT would have been upgraded long ago. In fact the WIT is 2 years older than UL.
Overseas commentatorsays:
In France ,following the decentralization laws of 1982 ,there has been a multiplication of small universities and 2 year colleges (Instituts universitaires de technologie) in the remotest parts of the country. Each politician wants to have a university in its constituency. This has been a disaster ,those institutions are much too small to have any research department ,many of the professors live in Paris and spend only half the week in the town of their university ,and the students have to live in a culturally deprived environment . Also ,there are economy of scales in teaching as well as in research.
I am very much an admirer of the German apprenticeship system ,but it is not a substitute to universities ,Germany desperately lack engineers and scientists and try to import and retain them .Many German firms have opened plants and laboratories in the neighboring countries precisely for that reason .For example Airbus main design work is done in Toulouse ,although the number of German and French employees in the company is roughly the same.
In all developed countries the unemployment rate is much lower (less than half) than in the general population .University graduates are not fungible, a civil engineering graduate or a computer scientist contributes more to the GNP and its growth than a Greek philosophy or a sociology graduate ,so the proportion of university graduates in the population is rather meaningless as an economic indicator.
Finally ,if it is true that the German economy has been doing better than the French since 2009,this has not always be true .If you take the last 10 years, or a longer period, the rates of growth have been very close .The best chance of Ireland is its high rate of growth of the population and it is important that they will be well educated.
Brian Woods Snrsays:
Here we go again with the Political Pork Gravy Train. Never mind the Austerity Programme (whatever that is) let us (legislators and local vested interests) spend more of other people’s (taxpayer’s) money. Carry on, regardless.
It will take a very courageous, and foolish, person to satnd in front of this Gravy Train. Looks like that species may be extinct.
An educated population (not just workforce) is useful. But the level and nature of the education – its must be of a continuous nature, not merely episodic – is a mighty contentious issue.
If, and its an heroic if. we need new third-level facilities. And where is the need? Then construct them as close to the target population as possible – and definitely beside a rail line (even a defunct one). Next, the state will only pay fees for Level 7 courses that are taken in non-university institutes. After that its economic fees all round: no exceptions. Persons with disabilities are a separate issue and may apply for tuition and maintenance fees. Commercial lending for student tuition and maintenance would have to be totally banned: moral hazard! Financial institutions have amply demonstrated that they are incapable of moral, ethical, or even legal behaviour in respect of lending.
Upgrade Maynooth by dismantling DIT and DCU. UCD and TCD can pick over the debris. Maynooth has population and rail. Waterford and CIT. Combine and split activities. Cork, Tralee, Limerick, Galway, Athlone, Sligo, Letterkenny. Dismantle all. UCC, UL and UCG might want to take choice cuts. Fine. Then re-site residues in Leitrim/Roscommon along the main road and rail routes. Beautiful countryside. Dundalk: has some potential. Blanchardstown, Tallaght and Dun Laoghaire. Amalgamate and force into a Learning Consortium with UCD and TCD. We do have broadband? I Hope.
Finally, force an amalgamation of all administrative and library resources on the entire lot. No exceptions. Anyone wants out, that’s fine. They get no state funding of any sort. Do not neglect to talk to bozoes in that other jurisdiction. They might be interested in Letterkenny and Dundalk. Its the money and the math.
But votes will dictate 8)
TRPsays:
I agree with you. The South East needs a NEW University not something cobbled together for Politicians to salivate on. There are a lot of crap courses in the ITs and some good ones. The ITs when the gravy train was running wanted to get their numbers up at all costs so that they could be converted to Universities which is not the same as creating a new University.Starting from new would also allow for the clearout of wasters in the Institutes of Technology of which there are many. NIHE Limerick and Dublin should never have been given University status but that status was given because of C Haughey and D O’Malley. They were never anyway near University level in terms of the breadth of courses and subjects available to study for. NUIM creation may have something to do with C Mc Creevey. Any Institition to be called “University” must have a substantial Humanities teaching function which these so called Universities have not got. The best Entrepreneurs/Businessmen, Doctors, Engineers, Lawyers and Administrators have usually had a component of Arts education in English,Greek,Latin,Continental Languages,Maths etc before moving into their specialist fields. Techs cannot provide that component in education.
This will be another disaster because it has not been thought out and it will not save the South East just as UL has not saved the Mid West from economic desolation.
shaun byrnesays:
I always thought it was a real shame that the RTCs were turned into mini universities. They provided really good practical courses. i would employ an RTC graduate over a university graduate due to the practical dimension. I can remember how embaressing it was when the RTC grads. came into UCG in second year and they were so much more competent than we were in the labs and had actual useful qualifications, water safety, boat licences (we were doing marine science).
But of course Irish snobbery soon did away with that
@TRP – “NUIM creation may have something to do with C Mc Creevey.” – you should have a look at the history of NUIM before making such a statement – it traces its origins back to 1795 (St. Patrick’s College).
BeeCeeTeesays:
Whether or not WIT gets an upgrade or redesignation to university isn’t that big a deal. Eight universities isn’t very much worse than seven, and there is a real case that the south-east suffers from being the main centre of significant population that is not home to a university.
The real problem will be if other IoTs are allowed to follow along out of a sense of fairness or because they can meet some set of criteria or other. The case for WIT is one-off, based on considerations of economic geography, and does not apply to CIT, LIT, GMIT, DIT, Tallaght, Blanchardstown or Dun Laoghaire which sit close to existing universities, or to the IoTs located in other provincial towns.
Moreover, if other IoTs are allowed to follow, this will negate the benefit to the south-east. If WIT becomes the eighth university, this will only benefit the region if it can raise the drawbridge behind it. If “technological university” becomes just new term for “Institute of Technology”, then the south-east will gain no net benefit.
Attaching Carlow to WIT will undermine this exclusivity, so it should not be done. Moreover, a change to university status will almost inevitably lead to courses leading to qualifications below level 8 being further downgraded at WIT, and it will be important to have an IoT type institution in the region that can bridge the gap that this will cause.
If WIT becomes a university, I foresee a need for another institution to provide higher education courses at levels 6 and 7 and apprentice training in Waterford. Carlow is the most obvious candidate to do this. Indeed, it might even make sense for some activities and staff in WIT to be detached from the institution, and attached to Carlow. This could make sense both from an education management perspective, and to allow any WIT staff who wish to keep their existing terms of employment to do so while the rest shift to university-type conditions.
Specifically on DIT, while redesignation to university status would be a mistake, at least the institution is one-of-a-kind, so the risk of further contagion is less than with other insitutions.
Peadar Colemansays:
BeeCeeTee,
The case of the conversion or Waterford RTC to WIT was supposed to be a “one-off” too, but was quickly followed by political lobbying by Cork RTC, and then the others. The whole thing was a massive stationery bill paid by the ordinary people, but for no gain, just changing the names from “Regional Technical College” to “Institute of Technology”, but they are still ‘Regional’ (everything is in some region), ‘Technical’ (for the most part, and even the non-engineering/science courses deal with ‘technical’ aspects of that particular discipline), and they are still ‘Colleges’.
Good institutions with a good reputation keep their name, as it has weight.
MIT does a lot more than Technology, but kept the name as it had EARNED a reputation – no desperate need to change the name & put ‘University’ in the title. Similarly with the LSE which does more than Economics.
I thought it a pity that Ireland’s own National College of Industrial Relations (NCIR), which also had a certain good track record & reputation, changed its name to the ‘National College of Ireland’ (which just sounds a bit silly…if I saw an ad for a ‘National College of England’ it would make me think of some fly-by-night operation run by two Cockney wide-boys, shaking down unsuspecting foreign students for cash).
We also saw it in the re-branding of the (then) less outstanding NUI colleges. The two better ones (then), UCD and UCC, are still known by those acronyms, as they had weight. The other two had the re-branding and wanted the supposed reflected glory of the NUI in their title (I would have thought it better if UCG stayed as it was, and maybe then just one name-change with the college in Kildare becoming ‘University College Maynooth’ – UCM).
Name and title changes are always suspicious. The thing is to EARN the reputation first (like MIT, LSE etc.) and then the name will have such cachet that they won’t want to change the name.
The same is at least partly true of National Anthems – years ago a German friend said imagine the fuss if they had an anthem mentioning ‘Soldiers of Destiny’? But that’s the whole point: Ireland doesn’t have such a terrible 20th century history, and so can have that old anthem with old fashioned out-of-date things in it.
The desperate need to get the word ‘university’ in the title reminds me of the character in a novel (one of Evelyn Waugh’s?) who put the following letters after his name: “B.A. (Calcutta) (failed)”
DO the work, PUBLISH good papers in PEER-REVIEWED journals, EARN the reputation. (Some years ago I heard of some lecturers in the former RTC sector who were teaching in a certain area and there was a review by a state body. They were asked if they had published any papers, and in what journals? No, they hadn’t. They were asked if they were to publish a paper, what journal would they publish it in? No, they couldn’t name a journal. They couldn’t name a journal in the subject-area they were lecturing in.
I think things have improved, not because of the name change to I.T.’s, but because of the reviews etc., but there was a lot of work to do, and that’s what’s always required, not a name-change to something with ‘university’ in the title.
On the other hand, Waterford could keep the acronym, WIT, but change the ‘W’ from ‘Waterford’ to ‘Wadding’, after Luke Wadding, surely (one of) Waterford’s greatest scholars? Or alternatively ‘Wadding College’. This will make it stand out from the others in the former-RTC sector, but without suspiciously and vainly putting ‘university’ in the title. Then continue to build its reputation by hard work. It already has a good reputation in a few areas.
I dont know anything about Roman Catholic Seminary Universities created in the 18th Century ,but, I am referring to a new creation named National University of Ireland Maynooth created by feckless Politicians in the 20th Century .
Just like we have had Grades erosion over the last twenty years in some of the so called Universities we are going to have the same in terms the Grade of University when every Tom,Dick and Harry of Tech is going to be upgraded to University status.
@Peadar,
That history is what informed my comment.
To be fair on the past name change, the adoption of the IoT moniker coincided with some pretty major changes in the sector, from being mostly about two year certificate courses to having ladders available first to diploma and then to primary degree level in most subjects. It wasn’t all about academic drift either – skill levels required by industry went up over the period.
It also coincided with the start of a real push to upgrade the qualifications and academic quality of staff in the sector. It’s a slow process because permanent jobs in the sector are secure, and you have rightly quoted some anecdotal evidence of this.
That said, it’s not long since a good many university academics in Ireland were completely research-inactive, and the universities are still afflicted with a significant amount of academic dead wood.
cormacsays:
I wish commentators would take the time to check out a few basic facts about WIT, such as its research output and degree profile, before writing on this issue…note for example that that the facts and figures given in the Irish Times article pertain to the IoT sector as a whole, not to WIT – very misleading
Kevin O`Briensays:
How about something along the lines of the University of the Basque Country. Three campuses across three cities each with their own set of specializations. So a new university campus in Waterford would come about only by matching it to the UL Galway strategic partnership and only then if there was a agreement to cut out duplication. The number of universities in this country is not an issue in as much as the number of faculties and departments.
An additional remark. There might be too much emphasis on bricks and mortar. We have to think about third level education
apologies i hit the submit button by accident
we have to anticipate how the Free Classes from Stanford and MIT will change the dynamic of how one is educated.

. Wright v. Horizons ETFS Management (Canada) Inc.
In Wright v. Horizons ETFS Management (Canada) Inc. (Ont CA, 2020) the Court of Appeal reviews statutory remedies under the Securities Act:
(2) The Legal Framework
(a) Purposes of the Securities Act
[126] One of the underlying purposes of the Securities Act is “the protection of the investing public through full, true and plain disclosure of all material facts relating to securities being issued”: Pacific Coast Coin Exchange v. Ontario Securities Commission, 1977 CanLII 37 (SCC), [1978] 2 S.C.R. 112, at p. 126, citing Re Ontario Securities Commission and Brigadoon Scotch Distributors (Canada) Limited, 1970 CanLII 436 (ON SC), [1970] 3 O.R. 714, at p. 717.
[127] With some exceptions, the Securities Act requires companies to file a prospectus before engaging in a trade in a security that qualifies as a “distribution”. The statutory definition of distribution under s. 1(1) of the Securities Act captures “that moment of initial distribution when a security first becomes available to the public, thereby triggering the disclosure obligations designed to protect investors”: David Johnston, Kathleen Rockwell, and Cristie Ford, Canadian Securities Regulation, 5th ed. (Toronto: LexisNexis Canada, 2014), at 5.7 (italics in original).
[128] The prospectus must make “full, true and plain disclosure of all material facts relating to the securities issued or proposed to be distributed”: Securities Act, s. 56(1). Thereafter, companies must meet continuous disclosure obligations under Part XVIII of the Securities Act.
(b) Sections 130 and 138.3 of the Securities Act
[129] Sections 130 and 138.3 of the Securities Act enhance the common law by providing statutory causes of action for misrepresentations that affect the value of securities purchased.
[130] Section 130 provides a statutory cause of action for misrepresentations in a prospectus for funds distributed on the primary market: Tucci v. Smart Technologies Inc, 2013 ONSC 802, 114 O.R. (3d) 294, at paras. 21, 40. Section 130 in Part XXIII provides that:
130. (1) Where a prospectus, together with any amendment to the prospectus, contains a misrepresentation, a purchaser who purchases a security offered by the prospectus during the period of distribution or during distribution to the public has, without regard to whether the purchaser relied on the misrepresentation, a right of action for damages against,
(a) the issuer or a selling security holder on whose behalf the distribution is made…
[131] Section 138.3 provides a statutory cause of action for misrepresentations for purchasers who acquire securities on the secondary market: Sharma v. Timminco Limited, 2012 ONCA 107, 109 O.R. (3d) 569, at paras. 7-8, leave to appeal refused, [2012] S.C.C.A. No. 157. Section 138.3 in Part XXIII.1 provides that:
138.3 (1) Where a responsible issuer or a person or company with actual, implied or apparent authority to act on behalf of a responsible issuer releases a document that contains a misrepresentation, a person or company who acquires or disposes of the issuer’s security during the period between the time when the document was released and the time when the misrepresentation contained in the document was publicly corrected has, without regard to whether the person or company relied on the misrepresentation, a right of action for damages against,
(a) the responsible issuer; …
[132] Section 138.3 provides fewer remedies to investors than s. 130. Unlike s. 130, s. 138.3 includes a damages cap of the greater of 5% of the issuer’s market capitalization or $1 million for a responsible issuer, and a loser pays costs rule: Securities Act, ss. 138.1, 138.7, and 138.11. Moreover, a plaintiff who brings a claim pursuant to s. 138.3 must first obtain leave to commence an action, unlike a plaintiff who commences an action under s. 130: Securities Act, s. 138.8(1).
[133] As such, there are distinct advantages to pursuing a claim under s. 130 rather than s. 138.3 of the Securities Act.
[134] Both sections enhance the remedies available to investors under the common law. The common law tort of negligent misrepresentation requirements are as follows:
a. There must be a duty of care based on a “special relationship” between the representor and the representee;
b. The representation must be untrue, inaccurate, or misleading;
c. The representor must have acted negligently in making the representation;
d. The representee must have relied, in a reasonable manner, on the negligent misrepresentation; and
e. The reliance must have been detrimental to the representee in the sense that damages resulted.
Queen v. Cognos Inc., 1993 CanLII 146 (SCC), [1993] 1 S.C.R. 87, at p. 110.
[135] While at common law plaintiffs must demonstrate reasonable reliance, plaintiffs who proceed with a claim for statutory misrepresentation are not required to demonstrate reliance in order to recover damages: Securities Act, ss. 130(1), 138.3(1).

The homestay is uniting, 'sharing resources, leaving guests'
During the rising period of the lodging industry, well-known homestays such as Xipo and Dalezhiye represent the peak period of the homestay industry. Obviously, Lang Chengjie's wave happened to step on the consolidation period of the homestay industry.
Xiaolang said frankly: "From now on, the average occupancy rate is about 50%. In the case of an epidemic this year, it is a cliff-like decline." Fortunately, "the house is self-owned and there is no rental pressure; in terms of manpower, it is basically self-owned. Operating, the expenditure is relatively small."
Jointly do overnight stay, let the guests stay
But Xiaolang is not a passer-by. He has been wondering how to improve his business.
"I think this epidemic also gave me a chance to calm down and think about how to go in the future."
Xiao Lang found that many guests who came to stay at the homestay would ask: What is fun around? Where can I go shopping? They often do not stay in the room or stay long.
If the guests can stay and stay longer, can it improve the operation of the homestay?
Moreover, the power of one person and one store is limited after all, but what if several people and several stores unite?
Xiaolang began to look for "little friends" in the surrounding homestays. After such a search, he really found a unique bed and breakfast in the same village-
Ruoxi, the host of the homestay likes audio and video. There are many audiovisual rooms in the homestay, and there are also many good movies. The hostess likes to roast, making good pastries and good coffee; the brook in front of the door, the green grass in the courtyard Yin
Wandering the mountain township, the male host of the bed and breakfast was a chef, and he was good at cooking; both couples like gardening, and the small garden at the door of the bed and breakfast is maintained in a beautiful and evergreen season;
Qingqi, the owner of the homestay is a senior tea artist, and he is also good at the processing of local products. If you want to understand the local culture and history, you can go to his home;
On the other side of the mountain, the owner of the homestay is a veteran off-road expert and a fishing enthusiast. Welcome to communicate with us.
"I contacted four other homestays in the village, together with our family, jointly launched the "Xiantan Sulv". For guests, resources can be shared. For example, guests who live in my house, I can recommend them to stroll through the garden of the mountain township. Afternoon tea, go to Ruoxi B&B to watch a movie in the evening. If you are interested in the history of Mogan Mountain and Xiantan Village, recommend them to go to Qingqi to find a boss to drink tea and chat; if you have a sense of cross-country, sports and fishing If you are interested, I recommend them to have tea and chat over the mountain. Similarly, if the guests who live in these houses are interested in bonsai, they will recommend to our moss garden."
The purpose of this is one thing: to allow guests to stay and find it interesting to live in a bed and breakfast in Xiantan; to be able to come back again and again, and to recommend relatives and friends to come over after a family comes.
In addition to developing characteristic homestays in the same village, Xiaolang is also working hard to expand the surrounding amusement places.
"We still have many scenic spots near Xiantan Village. Not to mention that it is not far from Yucun Village, that is, the nearby Longtan Scenic Area, Xiantan Flower Sea, Xianren Cave, Tea Garden, etc., can be used by residents. We will follow up later Make some route planning for the surrounding scenic spots, print it as a promotional material to the residents, or take the residents directly to play."
The combination of homestays has become a general trend in recent years
In fact, with the vigorous development of rural tourism and the introduction of country homestays across the country in recent years, the homestay guest group is gradually diverging. Even the head homestay brands and homestay highlands that have never been worried about business and hard to find a room in the past have begun to join. In the competition for robbing customers; this competitive situation has become more apparent with the outbreak of the outbreak and the decrease in occupancy rate at the beginning of this year.
In the face of this status quo, one of the coping strategies of the homestay circle is to hold groups to warm up-a close or loose alliance between the homestays to gather and stay together.
On April 12, Lao Guo, the founder of Baicuishanju, led a team to cross nearly half of China, search for homestays and hotels along the way, and start the Star Connected Live Broadcast Challenge.
The Lao Guo team hopes to realize the interconnection of traffic, mutual operation assistance, and supply chain sharing in the form of live broadcast with goods through interconnection with travel and lodging companies along the way.
In the end, after 15 days of interconnection challenges, it has traveled more than 6,000 kilometers, successfully interconnected 14 homestays, sold more than 1,000 rooms, gained more than 20,000 new fans, and built a private domain traffic sharing platform called Xingsu Internet.
On June 10, 25 homestay villages (groups) in 11 towns (streets) in Ruian City, Zhejiang Province faced global investment promotion, and released ten new policies to support the development of the homestay industry. The development "upsurge" ignited a new bursting point in rural revitalization and development. In the planning, Ruian's homestay cluster plans to build a multi-service homestay village by introducing supporting industries such as culture, catering, leisure, and experience.
There were spontaneous associations of private travel and lodging companies before, and government-led business alliances afterwards. It can be seen that Xiaolang’s and friends’ travel is on a road that is in line with the development of homestays. I look forward to the fact that Xiantan Travel can grow bigger and bigger. ,Getting better.

Lecturer Commits Suicide 3 Days To 47th Birthday
A lecturer in the Department of Urban and Regional Planning, Federal Polytechnic, Auchi, Edo State, identified as Mr Patrick Okojie, reportedly committed suicide three days to his 47th birthday.
It was gathered that he had made two previous attempts at committing suicide.
Vanguard gathered, yesterday, that the decomposing body of Okojie was found at his plot of land at Igbira Camp, along Igarra-Auchi Road, four days after he was said to have gone missing.
He was said to have left the house on a fateful day without his phone, apparently to delay any trace of his whereabouts.
Okojie, who is said to be due for promotion to Chief Instructor by this month end, did not leave any note behind to explain any reason for his action, but left behind a wife and three children.
The top management staff of the institution told Vanguard, yesterday, that the incident was a private one as it happened outside the school environment. Edo Police spokesman, DSP Chidi Nwabuzor, said he was yet to be briefed on the incident.

Green Stimulus
The Renewable Energy Association called for £625m in “green stimulus money”. Director-general Philip Wolfe said: “Other countries have already committed huge sums to renewables as part of their stimulus packages, not just because renewables tackle the twin threats of climate change and energy security, but because they also offer the technological stimulus needed in a recession to create high-value jobs and enterprise. Greenpeace said “With the best renewable energy resources and the worst housing stock in Europe, there is no better time to turn the recession crisis into an opportunity.”

Wind yield estimator
Gauging the right position for wind turbines takes a great deal of calculation. Too little and it will produce more emissions than it saves. Too much wind may over-stress turbines to the point that they explode dramatically. With this in mind, the Carbon Trust has developed a user-friendly online wind estimator for small-scale turbines. Launched today, the calculator is designed to help businesses and consumers work out how much power a turbine could generate and how much carbon it would save. Its data and user-friendliness have been welcomed by the wind turbine industry as an improvement on the existing wind speed database provided by the Department for Business Enterprise and Regulatory Reform.

Local Energy
One of the most effective ways of reducing your fuel bills - and your carbon footprint - is to generate your own energy, and this can apply to large organisations, small businesses or individual householders alike. Producing your own electricity or heat at a local level is known as microgeneration, and can involve anything from installing solar panels to fitting wind turbines to using bio-burners or combined heat and power units to generate local heat from local waste.

Biomass Row
AN argument over an environmentally-friendly heating system, which was prevented from being installed in Edinburgh schools because of health fears, has been reignited. Newly-published guidance reveals that the Scottish Government “encourages” the use of biomass boilers in the battle against climate change, as research shows they are not in fact harmful to humans if used alongside the correct technologies.

Britain is falling far behind other big economies in launching a Green New Deal, despite Government promises to “lead the world” on this path out of the economic slump, a report reveals. The most comprehensive study yet of “green stimuli” being introduced around the world – puts Britain near the bottom of the international league. China, for example, has devoted well over a hundred times as much money to recession-beating environmental measures, despite being castigated as an international laggard in tackling pollution.
Independent on Sunday 1st March 2009 more >>
The most striking evidence that the Prime Minister is brown rather than green was his Cabinet’s decision in January to give the go-ahead to a third runway at Heathrow. Of course, there is a so-called business case for expansion, and Ed Miliband, the Climate Change Secretary, secured important environmental safeguards. But if this government means it when it says that climate change is so important, it cannot increase the capacity of British airports. As HSBC’s interest testifies, energy conservation, renewable energy and low-carbon technology are a huge growth area for the future. Britain has already missed the start of the race. Mr Brown must make sure we catch up, and fast.
The big six energy companies in Britain are investing on average only £30 per year from each customer in renewable energy projects. If this continues, the UK may miss its 2020 green targets by 50%. The findings, compiled for independent green power group Ecotricity, will be published ahead of the government’s biggest test yet on commercial confidence about wind power, the Tuesday deadline for bids on the third offshore licensing round.

BRITAIN must set a clear policy and regulatory framework to encourage investment in green industries if it is not to fall further behind America and China, industry leaders have said.

Microgen Finance
When Gary Southall decided to make the heating in his home more environmentally friendly, instead of asking his bank for the loan he needed to finance it, he approached his employer, Infinis. The renewable energy supplier gives employees a £1,500 ($2,180) grant and a £3,500 interest-free loan, repayable over 24 months, for micro-generation projects in their own homes. So happy is Mr Southall with his new, energy-efficient wood-stove that he is somewhat evangelical about his company’s perks. “If someone offers you a grant or interest-free loan to do something you’d been planning to, you’d be mad not to take them up on it,” he says.

UK leading Micro Wind Market
The UK could become a world leader in microgeneration and small wind but it needs a helping hand to create the market. The UK is already leading the market in manufacture small wind turbines which can generate up to 50kW of power, but has one of the smallest installed capacities in Europe. Most of the small turbines made in the country are instead exported. The British Wind Energy Association (BWEA) estimates that the UK has the potential to install 600,000 of these small units by 2020, generating 1.3gW of power.

Caribou condoms put flavour into Inuit sex life
April 5, 2002 • By NATION
IQALUIT, Nunavut – For all you rugged outdoorsmen out there, have I got a “treat” for you. Condoms flavored with traditional foods such as caribou, musk ox and arctic char have become the favorite collectible from this year’s Arctic Winter Games in Iqaluit. The first 2,500 condoms, given away at five locations in Iqaluit along with an information package, disappeared almost immediately after the Games opened last weekend. By Wednesday, officials had given away more than 15,000 of the condoms, which are brightly packaged with pictures of five different northern animals. “It’s proven to be a remarkable success, not only at providing information to people, but getting them really talking about the issues,” said Todd Armstrong, HIV adviser for Pauktuutit, an Inuit women’s organization.

Updated 11/29 with exhibition end dates. While openings were free, most other admission dates are not. Note dates and pricing for each show below.
It’s hard to remember an arts event with a lineup that looked like this. Tonight’s opening for Flesh And Blood: Italian Masterpieces from the Capodimonte Museum brings together performers ranging from Spectrum Dance Theater dancers (read more about their work here; and “More to See” below, too), to an opera singer (Seattle Opera), and drag performers (Palace Theatre & Art Bar), plus a drawing workshop (Barry Johnson).
This unexpected roster performs alongside another unusual lineup: an academic discussion among a curator, a professor, and a graphic novelist (Gina Siciliano, who interpreted the life and work of great artist Artemisia Gentileschi in comic form in her new book, I Know What I Am) will present The Contemporary Resonance of Artemisia Gentileschi. If Gentileschi’s name rings a bell lately, it should: her work is enjoying something of a renaissance, and Macha Theatre Works just put up a lovely production of Joy McCullough’s Blood Water Paint, a play interpreting Gentileschi’s work and inspirations — hope you caught it. (Read NWT’s review here, and an interview with the playwright and novelist here.)
All of the community opening events are free tonight, starting at 5 pm. RSVP is recommended but not required (lecture tickets are all grabbed up, but there could be last-minute space); info and RSVPs here.
Outside of special events, admission to SAM (with Flesh and Blood admission included) is $30; info here.
Exhibition runs through January 26, 2020.
NAAM’s newest exhibit, Iconic Black Women: Ain’t I a Woman, is Seattle artist Hiawatha D.’s homage to the power of Black women, via portraits he’s painted of Black women throughout the eras. The opening celebration, with the artist in attendance, is Friday night at 6-8 pm, and is free to the public. See info here. (NAAM will hold a related event, in the Descendent‘s Series: Ida B. Wells and Family Legacy of Determination, Education, & Agitation by Michelle Duster, on 10/24; see info here.)
Outside of special events, admission to NAAM is $7; see info here. Reciprocal membership free for NARM members.
Exhibition runs through March 15, 2020.
Tacoma Museum of Glass
Who would have thought there’d be an exhibition by all LGBTQ-identifying glass artists (and outside of June, even)? Transparency: An LGBTQ+ Glass Art Exhibition is the nation’s first — and it opens this weekend at the Museum of Glass, located in the museum-saturated area of downtown Tacoma that also includes the Tacoma Art Museum and the Washington State History Museum. The opening celebration on Sunday (12-2 pm) includes free admission, participating artists and curator remarks, along with a DJ, cash bar, and snacks. No RSVP required; info here.
Outside of special events, admission to the Museum of Glass is $17; info here. Low-cost admission for EBT cardholders, and free admission Third Thursdays. Reciprocal membership free for NARM members.
Exhibition runs through September 2020.
The retrospective exhibit Donald Byrd: The America That Is To Be just opened at the Frye Art Museum last week, and it is a must-see. Hallways, walls, and wide-open galleries dance with Byrd’s iconic choreography, his own stage presence through the decades, his imagination through costuming and more, and his vision for what dance — and the country — can be. Dancers from Byrd’s Spectrum Dance Theater also perform in the gallery several times a week; see schedule here. Admission at the Frye is always free. Exhibition runs through January 26, 2020.
And a show next Friday (10/25) feels something like the end of an era, but it’s likely to be a blast. Kitchen Sessions — which combines Black excellence, visual art, performative arts, camaraderie, food, and booze, and is perhaps my very favorite arts series — will lose founding curator Imani Sims after this month, as she moved to Oakland last year. The Central District Forum for Arts & Ideas will keep the series going; look for the next one, in April next year. Next week’s Session features rock star Eva Walker (a returning Sessions performer, likely best known as lead guitarist/singer in The Black Tones); writer and slam poet Ava Walker; and burlesque artist Mx. Pucks A’Plenty. The $20 show ticket includes food, drinks, and admission to the galleries at Bellevue Arts Museum before the show. Info and tickets here.
See individual links above for event info and locations. Accessibility notes: of locations above, gender-neutral restrooms are available at NAAM and Frye; and all locations are wheelchair accessible.

Oh, God, make it stop
Hell, no.
More music, less politics
[Kinky] Friedman, the singer-satirist and unsuccessful candidate for governor in 2006, says Perry is vulnerable to a challenge if he runs for re-election in two years.
And Kinky knows just the challenger to beat him — Kinky Friedman.
“I don’t think Perry is going to win, and if he thinks he is, he’s very mistaken,” declared Friedman, who says he’s seriously considering another run.
Friedman knows he has detractors. He knows that when some people hear he might run for governor again, they envision a rerun of a glitzy but ill-fated bid loaded with one-liners and light on position papers. But he also senses a gathering sentiment that people believe Perry has embarrassed the state and has rewarded wealthy interests at the expense of cash-strapped Texans worried about their health care and their children’s schools.
“Perry has created a state that’s first in business climate and 49th in education. What’s wrong with that picture?” Friedman said.
This time, Friedman said he would run as a Democrat, not an independent, and as a more serious and substantive candidate. These days, the cosmic cowboy is reading Churchill.
“The main thing is to defuse the idea of being a comedian or even being an independent. I’m an independent-thinking Democrat and I’ve been a Democrat way further than most of my detractors,” he said. “It would have to be what you show the Democrats during that primary, and if you can show them a different side of Kinky Friedman, and it’s definitely there. Most of us realize the real comedian is already in the Governor’s Mansion.”
Friedman has a habit of popping up between elections to torment us with the idea of running for office again. It’s like a case of the clap that keeps flaring up no matter how many penicillin shots you get. He swears he’s a real true Democrat in the tradition of JFK and Ann Richards, except of course when he’s not.
Yet, simply put, Rick Perry and I are incapable of resisting each other’s charm. He is not only a good sport, he is a good, kindhearted man, and he once sat in on drums with ZZ Top. A guy like that can’t be all bad. When I ran for governor of Texas as an independent in 2006, the Crips and the Bloods ganged up on me. When I lost, I drove off in a 1937 Snit, refusing to concede to Perry. Three days later Rick called to give me a gracious little pep talk, effectively talking me down from jumping off the bridge of my nose. Very few others were calling at that time, by the way. Such is the nature of winning and losing and politicians and life. You might call what Rick did an act of random kindness. Yet in my mind it made him more than a politician, more than a musician; it made him a mensch.
These days, of course, I would support Charlie Sheen over Obama. Obama has done for the economy what pantyhose did for foreplay. Obama has been perpetually behind the curve. If the issue of the day is jobs and the economy, Rick Perry is certainly the nuts-and-bolts kind of guy you want in there. Even though my pal and fellow Texan Paul Begala has pointed out that no self-respecting Mexican would sneak across the border for one of Rick Perry’s low-level jobs, the stats don’t entirely lie. Compared with the rest of the country, Texas is kicking major ass in terms of jobs and the economy, and Rick should get credit for that, just as Obama should get credit for saying “No comment” to the young people of the Iranian revolution.
So would I support Rick Perry for president? Hell, yes! As the last nail that hasn’t been hammered down in this country, I agree with Rick that there are already too damn many laws, taxes, regulations, panels, committees, and bureaucrats. While Obama is busy putting the hyphen between “anal” and “retentive” Rick will be rolling up his sleeves and getting to work.
Link via TM Daily Post. ‘Nuff said, and shame on you, Wayne Slater, for falling for it. For the love of God, Kinky, please stick with your cigars and Willie Nelson collaborations and whatnot and leave the politics to anyone else. Harold Cook and BOR have more.

• Winners to bag PKR5million, runners-up prize PKR2.5million; PKR1million to be equally shared between best performers
Karachi, 7 January 2021:
Following the completion of first-class Quaid-e-Azam Trophy, which produced high-quality red-ball action, the focus has now shifted to white-ball cricket as the Pakistan Cup commences on 8 January.
The 33-match tournament, to be played on double-league basis, will be staged at three Karachi venues – NBP Sports Complex, State Bank Stadium and UBL Sports Complex. State Bank Stadium will host the two semi-finals on 29 and 30 January and the final on 31 January.
The tournament carries nearly PKR10million in prize money as the PCB continues to incentive top-performers. The tournament winners will bag PKR5million, while the runners-up will pocket PKR2.5million.
The best performers of the tournament – Player of the Tournament, Best Batsman, Best Bowler and Best Wicketkeeper – will equally share PKR1million amongst them and PKR800,000 will be handed to 32 players who receive Man of the Match award in group matches and semi-finals. The Player of the Final will receive PKR35,000.
Meanwhile, the six head coaches have finalised their 16-player squads, in which opportunities have been provided to those young cricketers who have given impressive performances over the course of the 2020-21 domestic season.
After helping his team stage an outstanding comeback in the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy, Hasan Ali will continue to lead Central Punjab, who shared the title with Khyber Pakhtunkhwa after the final ended in an epic tie. The squad consists all 11 players who played the final along with Ahmed Bashir, Bilal Asif, Rizwan Hussain, Sohaibullah and Tayyab Tahir.
Khalid Usman will remain at helm of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa team and will have hard-hitting top-order batsman Fakhar Zaman, the leading run-scorer in the National T20 Cup, as his deputy. Head coach Abdul Razzaq has retained the in-form batsman Kamran Ghulam and Sajid Ali, the leading run-scorer and wicket-taker of the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy.
Balochistan will be led by veteran batsman Imran Farhat and he will have wicketkeeper-batsman Bismillah Khan as his vice-captain. Head coach Faisal Iqbal has put his faith in 18-year-old Quetta-born Abdul Wahid Bangalzai, a Pakistan U19 player, who has had an impressive 2020-21 domestic season. In his most recent outing for his Balochistan, Abdul Wahid was the fourth highest run-getter in the Pakistan Cup for Second XIs with 187 runs in five matches – including a half-century – at 37.40.
Mohammad Masroor, Northern’s interim head coach, has named all-rounder Mohammad Nawaz as the captain of his team. After enjoying resounding success with both bat and ball in the 2020-21 domestic season, which included a century on first-class debut and player of the tournament awards in both one-day and three-day U19 tournaments, Mubasir Khan is in line to make his List A debut as he was named one of the 16 players in the Northern squad.
After finishing the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy at the bottom, Sindh will be eager to stage a comeback. Head coach Basit Ali has named Saud Shakeel the captain of the side. Sixteen-year-old off-spinner Aaliyan Mehmood has been rewarded for his sensational returns in the one-day and three-day U19 tournaments. Aaliyan was the third best bowler in the both tournaments taking 24 wickets 15.67 in one-day and 20 scalps at 25.55 in three-day.
Middle-order batsman Sohaib Maqsood will lead Southern Punjab, the finalists of the National T20 Cup. Southern Punjab’s leading run-scorer in the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy, in which they finished third, Salman Ali Agha will be Sohaib’s deputy. Their fast bowling department got a shot in the arm following the addition of Aaron Summers, while they have included Mukhtar Ahmed and Waqar Hussain, the top two run-getters of the Pakistan Cup for Second XI teams, who played a vital role in Southern Punjab winning that tournament.
Balochistan – Imran Farhat (c), Bismillah Khan (vc), Abdul Wahid Bangalzai, Adnan Akmal, Akbar-ur-Rehman, Ali Rafiq, Awais Zia, Ayaz Tasawar, Gohar Faiz, Jalat Khan, Kashif Bhatti, Nazar Hussain, Raza-ul-Hasan, Taimoor Ali, Taj Wali and Umaid Asif

I am very confused here and hoping MENIng can clarify..I assume the matches at state bank will be televised.
The South Africa series doesnt start till 26/01/21 so what are the pakistan squad doing and mainly where are the SHAHEEN players. Surely the likes of hasnain, abdullah and Haider etc need as much practice as possible.

Scheduling is bad for the 2 finalists. The rest of the team have had a decent break between last QEA matches

Doubt he's the only one who's feeling it. I imagine we'll see a fair bit of rotation especially amongst the pacers.
its only one day guys..i just checked all matches on State bank will be on TV.
i can only assume players of Pak and Shaheens not included due to isolation but for that long it doesnt make sense

I wont be surprised if Hassan and a few others are called up to the national squad in few days after the squad against SA is announced to complete the covid protocols before the SA series (Starting on 26th Jan). At that time I think players which are dropped from the national team should be coming into the tournament.

Why aren't the 35 players for the NZ tour in the squads?
I am sure lot of them can benefit playing in the tournament and it will also make it more competitive.

Sameen should have been there.
Personally, I think all three will get to play.
I have a hunch that Misbah will operate with Shaheen, Abbas, and Hasan, and he'll bring Yasir back as an excuse when looking at Gohar's performance in NZ.
For T20Is, we have no other option than Sharjeel Khan at this point, and I want to see if Sarfaraz gets a call-up for T20I as well.
In my opinion, Sarfaraz should be our keeper-batsman in white ball cricket and Rizwan in red-ball cricket. Look at Sarfaraz's average, it is much better than Rizwan and so is the SR. The only thing would be to determine where he plays.
He's really good at rotating the strike and plays spin well, but you don't want to push him too far down the order where he is incapable of making a difference, because he doesn't really have the gears to hit sixes and finish games.
The ideal position for him would be 4, but Hafeez is in prime form, so the next best positions are 3 and 5. Haider is being groomed for the No.3 slot, but maybe we can afford to play him lower if we have Sharjeel at the top of the order.

Good squads, I did not watch QEA, but I will try to watch this. I hope PCB puts it on YT. 50 over cricket is the best for viewers.

Hasan Ali if he has any sense should rest and try to work on his fitness for SA call-up
Not bad looking kits, were they the same kits that were used in national t20 competition.
I'd have liked to have seen Hasan Mohsin in the Sindh squad. He looks tailor made for 50 over cricket and hits the ball in awkward areas. He can also play reserve sweeps, dilscoop etc.

Good partnership by Sharjeel and Saud here.
The fifth edition of the Pakistan Cup has begun today in Karachi, marking the first instance of the one-day tournament being played in the port city.
Southern Punjab are playing Sindh at the State Bank Stadium in a broadcast fixture. Balochistan are playing Northern at the UBL Sports Complex. Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Central Punjab, who shared the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy title after an epic tie in the final at the National Stadium, are locking horns at the NBP Sports Complex.
The most successful team
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Federal Areas with two title wins each are the most successful teams in the short history of the tournament.
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa won the maiden edition in Faisalabad in 2016 and the most recent edition in Rawalpindi in 2019 whereas Federal Areas won it in Rawalpindi in 2017 and in Faisalabad in 2018.
Federal Areas have won eight out of 13 completed matches in the tournament that takes their win percentage to 61.54 – the highest for any team.
Highest and lowest totals
Pakistan Cup is one of the highest scoring tournaments in the world as suggested by 37 totals of 300 or more in four years.
The highest total in the tournament is 385-4 by Sindh against Federal Areas in Rawalpindi in 2019.
There have also been three successful chases of 350-plus targets. Federal Areas scaled 376 against Balochistan in Rawalpindi in 2017, Balochistan chased 373 vs Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in Faisalabad in 2018 and Punjab 366 against Balochistan in 2018.
There is only one sub-100 total in the tournament’s history. That happened in 2018 when Sindh were bowled out for 93 against Federal Areas in Faisalabad.
Most prolific batsman
Khurram Manzoor, who is in the Sindh’s squad for the 2020-21 edition of the tournament, is the only batsman with 1,000-plus runs in the tournament.
The 34-year-old has scored 1,148 runs at an average of 82.00 and a strike-rate of 122.12. The next best is Iftikhar Ahmed with 906 runs at 64.71.
Khurram is also the highest centurion in Pakistan Cup with six scores of 100 or more.
Iftikhar with four centuries is second best in this list as well.
Fastest centuries
A total of 44 centuries have been scored in the tournament.
The quickest came from Khurram Manzoor’s bat as the right-handed top-order batsman reached the 100-run mark off 56 balls while playing for Sindh against Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in Rawalpindi in 2017.
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s Khushdil Shah scored two 100s off 65 balls (against Sindh) and 66 balls (against Punjab) in the previous edition. They are second and third fastest 100s in Pakistan Cup.
The best strikers
Asif Ali has scored 453 runs at an average of 64.71 and a strike-rate of 129.42, the highest for any batsman with at least 400 runs in the tournament.
The Northern batsman has also hit two centuries.
The best strikers after Asif are Kamran Akmal (127.41), Khushdil Shah (125.14) and Khurram Manzoor (122.12).
Highest six-hitters
The batsmen with most sixes in the tournament are Sohaib Maqsood and Iftikhar Ahmed. Both batsmen have smoked 26 maximums each. 30.77 per cent of Sohaib’s all runs (509) in Pakistan Cup have come from sixes.
The next big hitters in the tournament are Akmal brothers – Kamran and Umar (25 sixes each). They are followed by Asif Ali and Khurram (24 sixes).
Most prolific bowler
Left-arm pacer Zia-ul-Haq is the highest wicket-taker in the tournament with 24 scalps at an average of 24.45.
He is followed by the off-spinner Bilal Asif, who has 23 wickets at 35.17.
Balochistan’s Umar Gul, who hung his boots after the conclusion of his team’s National T20 Cup campaign earlier in the season, is next with 22 victims at 32.04.
Five-wicket hauls
Seven bowlers have taken a five-wicket haul but only one has six wickets in an innings. Waqas Maqsood, who is in the Central Punjab’s team holds record for the best figures in the tournament. The left-arm pacer, then Federal Areas’ bowler, took six wickets for 63 runs against Balochistan in Faisalabad in 2018.
Six other bowlers to take five-fers in chronological order are Mohammad Amir (five for 36), Aamer Yamin (five for 77), Imran Khan (five for 57), Faheem Ashraf (five for 45), Usman Shinwari (five for 51) and Wahab Riaz (five for 52).
Economical bowlers
Among the bowlers who have delivered at least 20 overs in the tournament, the left-arm spin of Imad Wasim has been most economical. He has bowled 35 overs for only 157 runs at an economy of 4.48.
Next best are Usman Shinwari (4.56), Wahab Riaz (4.60), Mohammad Amir (4.68) and Khalid Usman (4.92).

Saud gone for 60. Played a lazy square drive on the up and edged to Zeeshan.
He has great potential, but he still has to work hard on his concentration skills.

No live streaming? No live scores, disappointed. PCB should resolve this ASAP.

Ali Tareen’s Tareen academy is a feeder of talent into Southern Punjab as well, and he’s the one who brought Aaron Summers in.

What a joke, Sauds captaincy had been so far. Aaliyan looked the best spinner in the overs he bowled yet he has only bowled 3 overs while Saud himself has bowled 4. Looking to impress PSL scouts perhaps.

I hope he isn't picked for SA yet. The potential is there, he needs that extra bit of work and he'll debut in a much better fashion than he would right now.
Sauds Captaincy has been shocking
Why? His only frontline spinner, Aalyan Mehmood, is out of action. That means he’s lost control in the middle overs and has been swapping in medium pacers and part timers like himself to pretty decent effect. He’s making decent use of limited resources, don’t see anything particularly wrong with the field placements either. Nothing ingenious but nothing “shocking”.
60 off 78 on a flat deck wasnt good enough from captain saud

Okay makes sense.
I'm going to make an excuse here. The fast bowlers just come off a gruelling QeA trophy with not that much rest in between. The kookaburra took it's toll on the pacers this year.
As many as five centuries were scored in the first three matches of the Pakistan Cup One-Day Tournament 2020-21 which commenced today (Friday) at three Karachi venues.
Salman Ali Agha, Umar Amin and Musaddiq Ahmed score match winning tons that earned wins for Southern Punjab, Northern and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa respectively.
Besides the trio, Central Punjab’s Saad Nasim and Muhammad Akhlaq also scored hundreds.
Southern Punjab vs Sindh, State Bank Stadium, Karachi:
Southern Punjab captain Sohaib Maqsood won the toss and asked Sindh to bat first, opener Sharjeel Khan (44 off 38, three fours, three sixes) provided the side a flying start after the early loss of Khurram Manzoor (1).

Wicketkeeper batsman than upped the scoring rate for Sindh with a whirlwind 69 off 36 balls, the right-hander hit eight fours and three sixes. Saud fell for 60 off 78 balls (three fours), Hassan Khan scored an unbeaten 38 off 28 balls to take his side past the 300-run mark, Sindh were bowled out for 309 in 49.1 overs. Pacers Mohammad Ilyas and Summers took three wickets each.

The right-hander, who came into bat at number five in the batting order, hit nine fours and three sixes in his innings.
Opener Zain Abbas who had retired hurt came back to finish the chase with Salman, he remained unbeaten on 75 off 79 balls (nine fours).
Sohaib contributed 36 off 28 balls (three fours, two sixes). Southern Punjab chased down the target for the loss of six wickets in 48.3 overs.
Anwar Ali and M0hammad Umar took two wickets each for Sindh.
Balochistan vs Northern, UBL Sports Complex, Karachi:
An unbeaten 115-run innings off 136 balls (seven fours, two sixes) by Umar Amin guided Northern to their 285 for seven score after they were put into bat by Balochistan at the UBL Sports Complex.

It is a proven fact that you need pace in white ball cricket to do well, these trundlers are too easy on flat pitches
Not just pace, you need skills as well. You need the yorker, the bouncer, and also an arsenal of slower balls. You need to be able to bowl at the stumps and also bowl wider as well. You need to use the crease to create angles and also know how to swing and seam the ball if you're a new ball bowler. But having pace and having the ability to do all of these things makes you a world class bowler.

The stadiums on which these games are being played on are not international standard.
The PCB chose to preserve the national stadium, qadhafi stadium, rawalpindi, multan stadium due to the Pak SA series and the PSL
It will be interesting to see if Abrar Ahmed gets a run if games for Sindh. He can spin the ball both ways and looks like a potential white ball specialist for Pakistan.

If they are serious about playing for national team, they need to be fit enough, atleast like Rishabh Pant
Pakistan shouldn’t drop their levels too low for fitness standards. Same should be for Sharjeel too

Are you joking? lol. Rishab Pant is unfit. Azam despite his build is actually very proactive in the field and a good runner between the wickets. His keeping is up to par as well so no reason why he should not play in the shortest format. For some reason, everyone here believes that fit means lean lmao.

Guys is there anywhere I can follow the games scorecard?
Pacy with wisdom
Even if Azam becomes superfit, he is never going to look lean like normal athletes. That is because his skin has lost a lot of its elasticity.
CP v Sindh should be interesting!
The PCB chose to play all matches in Karachi for COVID reasons, it had nothing to do with preserving the other stadiums (for this season at least). It was stated multiple times when they put out the schedule that the 2020-21 season would be in Karachi for it's entirety. They're probably not playing the OD tourney in National Stadium because they want to rehab the pitches for the SA series and PSL after the grueling FC season.

Black Foxxes
Whatever Let's You Cope
The Exeter trio Black Foxxes has been picking up numerous mentions in the music press recently, leading up to their debut album "Whatever Let's You Cope", which came out in mid-August. The band self-labels as 'Rock / Depression-Pop' on Facebook, which is apparently another way of saying that they write highly emotional rock music with notes of grunge nostalgia. And it's evident pretty much immediately on their record that there's something to the praise, firstly from the way the organic sounding guitar notes fill out your headphones with grit and warmth, and secondly from the vocals of singer/guitarist Mark Holley, ranging from incredibly frail to more red hot and searing than a rusty branding iron.
A band like Scotland's oft-overlooked The Xcerts comes to mind for comparison, as does some of the overt vulnerability that Placebo threw around in their earlier days, and also some of the potential for explosive catharsis that transformed Brand New on their latter two records. But as mentioned, there are notes of the 90's grunge and alt-rock lingering in the corners, giving Black Foxxes their own nuance, and likely also gratifying fans of Nirvana or Pixies.
The record opens with two tracks showcasing what the group has to offer, "I'm Not Well" and "Husk", and of the two, the carefully slow-burning "I'm Not Well", is the more symptomatic of where the band is strongest at the moment. Here the tempo crawls patiently forward and there's plenty of space to appreciate both the resonance of the electric guitar and the balancing-on-a-cliff's-edge vocals of Holley. Further album highlights like the title track and "River" only elaborate this script, and particularly the former of the two seizes your attention like a tightrope walker without safety wires. "Husk", on the other hand, is a prime example of the band flipping the recipe and delivering a tight, up-tempo banger, still encompassing the same frailty and frustration as the slower songs, but heading more towards expunging it in a driving, powerful manner, instead of allowing it to build up so much over time.
Regrettably, while there are more examples of Black Foxxes hitting the mark with their slow songs, "Husk" is pretty lonesome as a convincing example of their capacity for more energetic rockers. And starting with "Maple Summer" at track six, the album heads into a second half that consistently feels a degree less engaging than the first half. The band preserves the atmospheric qualities that hold up the early tracks, but the progressions of the tracks down here simply aren't quite as mesmerizing, which makes you start to look around for the striking ideas or movements, while Holley's vocal acrobatics do admittedly start to lose their novelty somewhat, unable to carry the day on their own.
With a strong identity to their sound, though, and with at least half an album's worth of remarkable songs, Black Foxxes are clearly off to a start worth making note of. If they can improve on songwriting consistency and perhaps expand on the musical universe around the basic qualities that are so clearly evident already, they're a group to look out for in the future for absolute certain.

Read A ESTAÇÃO CIENTÍFICA DO ARQUIPÉLAGO DE SÃO PEDRO E SÃO PAULO text version
The scientific station of São Pedro and São Paulo Archipelago - Brazil
Alvarez, Cristina E.1, Melo, Julio E.2; Mello, Roberto L.3 ABSTRACT The archipelago São Pedro and São Paulo is located over the São Paulo tectonic fracture (00o56N e 29o22W), about 945 km from the state of Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil. The larger islands have an area of approximately 7.500 m2 and the highest altitude is 17 m. The local occupation - classified as one of the most inhospitable Brazilian places for the human life - was motivated by scientific, economic, and strategic factors. Conceived in an innovative system using timber (slab beam), the Station was mounted in only 12 days, and it is composed of main building (49 m2), system of salty water treatment to obtain fresh water (desalinized by reverse osmose, tanks, and pumps), system to capture energy (photovoltaic plates, inverters, and batteries), communication system, deposits, and mooring place. The project was proposed with the objective of minimum impact to the environment and maximum comfort taking in account the natural conditions of the region. INTRODUCTION Located on the tectonic fracture of São Paulo (00 56N and 29 22W), São Pedro and São Paulo Archipelago is approximately 610 km far from the Fernando de Noronha Archipelago and 945 km of Rio Grande do Norte State, being composed by 15 small islands with 15,000 m² of a total area and maximum altitude of 17 m. It is said to be the most inhospitable place for the human life according to fishermen, scientists and visitors. The absence of fresh water and vegetation, the agitated sea, the great amount of sharks and crabs, the frequent seismic disturbances, the birds and the distances of the coast are elements that make any construction attempt in the place a challenge. The studies and investments for the Archipelago occupation are based in the following interests: 1. economic: tunes abundance and ornamental fish; 2. scientific: geology (unique geological formation; seismography), climatology (important meteorological data), ornithology (presence of two species of sea birds), oceanic and fishing engineering (large presence of fish and, in smaller number, of marine turtles), behavior (isolation condition and aggressiveness of the place); 3. strategic: geographical location and sea limit expansion. The objective of this study was to design and build a scientific station in São Pedro and São Paulo Archipelago, with 50 m² of area. THE ECASPSP - THE SCIENTIFIC STATION OF SÃO PEDRO AND SÃO PAULO ARCHIPELAGO BRAZIL The conditions For the architectural project development and the constructive technique, two expeditions were sent to the Archipelago. Starting from the choice of the implantation place, which was preceded of criteria and methodology previously established, the implantation program was elaborated based on the following conditions: · The Archipelago is defined as APA Area of Environmental Protection, demanding minimum environment interference during implantation and use of the Station;
Arch. MSc. Director of LPP/CAR/UFES and Professor at UFES - Av. Fernando Ferrari s/n°, CEMUNI I sala 7 Campus de Goiaberas, 29090-060 Vitória, ES Brazil. [email protected] 2 Civil Eng. MSc. Ass. Prof. at University of Brasilia - UnB, researcher at LPF/IBAMA Av. L4 Norte, lote 4, 70818-900 Brasília, DF. [email protected] 3 Arch. Researcher at LPF/IBAMA - Av. L4 Norte, lote 4 Brasília DF, 70818-900. [email protected]
The environmental conditions are unfavorable, being especially considered the following aspects: hot and a humid climate, rocky soil without occurrence of beaches, abundance of sharks and birds (hindering the marine transport and impeding the use of aircrafts), violence of the seas, the rare plane areas, sharp and dark rocks (radiation absorbent) in the whole extension of the islands, abundance of rains in certain times of the year; Occurrence of earthquakes of intensity VI and VII in the Modified Mercalli scale (Rose, 1996); Maintenance difficulty because the distance of the port, the closer provisions is about 945 Km of distance, and need of self-sufficiency in the complementary facilities; Absence of equipments and specialized labor so much in the assembly of the Station as in its subsequent operation; Reduced execution period; Occupants stress due to isolation and the environmental characteristic.
Figure 1. - Archipelago location, view of the islands and the exclusive economical zone map. Methodology The project for the Scientific Station of São Pedro and São Paulo Archipelago was elaborated starting from previous studies developed in similar areas, such as Antarctica and the Atol das Rocas. For the specific situation of the Archipelago, constructions subject to seismic tremors were studied and evaluated the solutions. Some preliminary tests for the proposed projects were done. Parallel to the researches related to the structural system, the thermal comfort was simulated. The architectural and structural projects were developed in total coherence with the complementary projects fresh water and energy production based on a photovoltaic system (Figure 2). It is pointed out as fundamental part in the adopted methodology, the project evaluations made in the following stages:
· · · · · ·

The Architectural and Structural Project of the Main Building The Station was designed to shelter up to four researchers for 24 days, which may be extended to 60 days. The main building has about 49 m², distributed in five rooms: bedroom, kitchen/dinner; room of radio/living room, sanitarium and balcony (Figure 4).
Figure 4 - Schematic draw of the beam-slab system and the main building blueprint. The constructive technique was especially conceived looking for coherent structural solutions with the possible occurrence of seismic disturbances and with the available means of transportation. A prefabricated constructive system was developed, where the wood pieces that form the walls, floors and coverings were jointed together using screwed bars of galvanized steel, forming rigid panels. The system does not use pillars. The station foundation was based on small concrete slabs having specially designed pieces of rubber as interface between the floor and the foundation. The wood and concrete pieces were manually transported in small air inflated boats from the ship to the island due to lack of auxiliary equipment. This was a limitation for the size and weight of all parts. The architectural conception looked for integration with the complemental systems, especially the source of energy, developed by CEPEL (Galdino, 1998). Such system, based on photovoltaic plates, had as main consumption factor the equipment destined to the extraction of drinking water besides the other necessary equipments to the operation of the Station. The Station was set up in only 12 days, after about three years of studies, preliminary tests, making of the pieces and assembly tests. It had for a conceptual guideline the need to work as a small city, guaranteeing the survival and the well-being of the occupants, the self-sufficiency and the preservation of the environment. The main actions, related to the user comfort and looking for the maxim energy efficiency in all the adopted systems, were: · · · Adoption of wood as main constructive element, so much for the thermal qualities of the material as for the pleasant sensation to the touch; The design looks for a direct relationship with the image "home," moving away the idea that the users are part of any technological innovation or scientific experiment; Orientation of the openings favoring crossed ventilation;
Covering in wood with polished aluminum, reducing the radiation absorption; Permanent ventilation system in the superior contour of the construction; Suspended floor allowing underneath ventilation and isolating of possible ascending humidity; An external balcony that facilitates integration between the exterior and the interior; Placement of noisy equipments far away of the rest place and bedroom; Earthquake proof furniture and optimized in relation to the limited available internal space; White external painting and sand color interior; Electric equipments specified by CEPEL, Eletrobrás - The major Brazilian electric research center.
With relationship to the comfort, stand out the adopted measures linked to the psychological comfort, since the situation and place tend to worsen users' stress. After inauguration, a contention wall was built to protect the station against strong sea waves. The wall was built in wood and had openings to allow ventilation. (Figure 5)
Figure 5 - The contention wall built to protect the station against strong sea waves. FINAL COMMENTS The concepts of environmental design were absolutely respected, standing out the building typology, the adopted constructive technique and the complementary equipment, looking for self-sufficiency and minimum environmental impact so much in the construction as in the use of the station. The station was set up in 12 days (June of 1998) after 3 years of studies. It has autonomy of 24 days holding a team of 4 researchers. This capacity may be extended up to two months. After its inauguration on June 25, 1998, the Station suffered small modifications being possible to verify the solutions adopted to the challenge initially set. Now the After Occupation Evaluation is being developed (APO) objectifying the systematic collection of data for posterior application in this and in others similar projects.
The construction of the Station counted with the support of CIRM - Comissão Interministerial para os Recursos do Mar, the National Sea Resources Comission, that coordinates the PROARQUIPÉLAGO - São Pedro and São Paulo Archipelago Program. The construction and development of the station was accomplished in Brasília, at the Forest Products Laboratory of IBAMA, Brazilian Institute of Environment and Natural Renewable Resources.

My Male Fantasy: Divine Masculine Power Through Love.
{Photo credit: Android Jones}
“A soldier follows orders, but a warrior follows his heart.” ~ Joseph Turok
Divine masculinity
There’s something about the masculine energy that’s so magnetic.
I experience the feeling of divine masculinity as assuring, secure, powerful and grounding.
Masculine energy can both entice and enrapture my whole being.
A man can gently unfurl me and my protective layers with the strength of his gaze, undivided focused attention, and soul-connecting presence.
But that’s not my fantasy. That’s just what I appreciate about masculine energy.
A Fantasy Shaped in Childhood
To fully understand my fantasy, I have to share a bit about my childhood experience. Like most other fantasies, it has its roots in early development.
Growing up, I was surrounded and raised by a number of very strong-willed female figures. Some would even say they were pathologically stubborn, manipulative or abusive. But we won’t get into that today.
These female caretakers taught and conditioned me at a young age that men were the enemy because they only know to hurt and destroy. I was taught to be independent — not in a healthy empowering sense, but in a sense that I don’t need a man because I’m better than that. Over time, I adopted these stories from my mother, aunts, and girlfriends.
It only took me 40 years to realize that these stories of “men are bad,” “men will cheat,” “men will destroy,” “men will hurt,” “men are heartless,” or “men will use you” were other people’s stories.
These stories weren’t mine, but I’d inadvertently taken on these beliefs that do not belong to me.
Although I have empathy for many women who have had unsafe experiences with men, that fortunately had not been my own personal experience, still to date. And for that, I’m tremendously grateful to the Universe.
And maybe it’s because early warnings of men created a natural protective suspicion, leeriness, and skepticism of men that’s repelled men with bad intentions. I was too wise for their games or took too much effort for the payoff… maybe. I will never know.
Ironically, when I recall moments throughout my childhood and adult life that embodied agony, sorrow, and despair, it was the women who were the doers of the darkness and oppression. And conversely, the men who were my glimmer of hope and light.
For each troubling moment, I can still picture a man’s face that kept me afloat. Their light came in the form of a calm presence, a kind smile, a few encouraging words, a small gift, and a gentle acknowledgment.
A Little Girl’s Unconscious Wish
Even though these simple and kind gestures often became lifesavers that I clung onto as I trod for what felt like an eternity to shore, in retrospect, it wasn’t enough.
Broadly speaking, even though men were never the direct source of hurt or pain, in the deepest part of my heart, I came to realize that I was disappointed in them.
Because deep down I knew they were capable of so much more. They could have done more. And I wish they did more.
In my little-girl mind’s eye, men were bigger and stronger.
Historically, men were the first to go into battle, hunt game, build infrastructure, and protect the village. Men were warriors, providers, and protectors.
But the male figures in my life gave way and became soft like mud when challenged by a stronger female — often who made foolish, cruel and uncompassionate choices. I have my hypotheses, but will really never know why. And maybe the why isn’t so important anymore.
Do Right: An Adult Woman’s Fantasy
Some theories say a fantasy is like an unconscious wish. There’s a yearning to go back in time and right what was wronged.
If so, here’s my fantasy.
I fantasize about men who speak truth to power, especially when it’s inconvenient.
Because that’s when it really counts and will have the most impact.
Men who speak up when everyone else is turning a blind eye stand above the rest in my book.
I fantasize about men who don’t turn into puppets that walk the line between light and dark, hypnotized and manipulated by or even hiding behind strong-willed women who aren’t embodying love, kindness, compassion, or wisdom.
I believe everyone’s ultimately responsible and accountable for their own behavior — meaning, I’m not saying that it’s men’s responsibility to keep anyone on the straight and narrow.
But I do fantasize in these moments, men will do what’s right. That they will use the strength of their body to defend and protect the innocent and pure of heart. Use the power of their resounding voice for the voiceless. Tap into the deep wisdom and integrity of their hearts to fight for the truth.
Men who courageously speak against dogma are irresistible. Men who are leaders of their own life are magnetic. Finally, I fantasize about men who despite being bullied by society to signal all kinds of alpha-aggro-macho antics, choose to step into true masculine power through love, tenderness, generosity, wisdom, and integrity.
Despite all of this, for all the men who have been my source of light, I’m truly grateful.
Maybe in my fantasy, there’s an element of wanting to go back and right what was wronged.
But more so, this is the sharing from the heart of a past young child pleading to adults — male or female — to use your power to do the right thing when given the opportunity.
Conscious Power
On a separate but related note, I had the privilege to watch an exclusive video that documented an intimate and candid conversation led by one of Oprah’s favorite spiritual teachers, Gary Zukav, with a group of veterans.
This video was shared with me by the co-founder of Source One Serenity, a non-profit organization helping veterans, since she came across an article I wrote about the power of intention-setting and knew I was a fan of Gary’s.
In this powerful and unedited conversation, Gary talked about the meaning of power, warrior, and what it means to protect.
The Two Types of Power
According to Gary, there are two types of power.
The first is external power, which allows you to manipulate and control others. This is often the type of power that modern society rewards.
The second and arguably the only real and authentic power is your internal power. Your internal power comes from aligning your personality with your higher self or spirit.
My personal interpretation of this second type of power is when what we do and how we do it is in support of our inner self, when we are in integrity with our truth and what we care about.
We Can All Be Conscious Warriors in Our Lives
While the conversation was focused on veterans and what it means to be a warrior and protect, the essence of the topic can be extrapolated to the broader life.
We are all warriors in our own lives, we are always protecting something, we are always defending from something.
If you are a warrior in your little corner of life, ask yourself:
Where do you identify your sources of power?
Is your power external or internal?
Is it real or an illusion?
What does the protection of life mean to you?
Is life inclusive or is it selective?
Gary believes, “You can’t protect any collective if you don’t protect every collective.”
My interpretation of his quote is that as long as we hold a divisive mindset, someone will always get hurt. In order to protect and heal and create safety for some, we must protect, heal, and create safety for all.

Recap Video
Tower of Power Legendary Soul Powerhouse
A renowned horn-driven outfit, Tower of Power emerged in the late ’60s playing a dynamic blend of R&B, soul, funk, and AM pop. Along with similarly inclined groups like Chicago and Blood, Sweat & Tears, Tower of Power helped push the sound of brass-infused music into the rock era. Led by Detroit-born tenor saxophonist Emilio Castillo, the Oakland, California-based group scored hits like “You’re Still a Young Man” and “What Is Hip?” throughout the ’70s. They also became one of the most sought-after backing ensembles in pop, playing on recordings by Elton John, Santana, Bonnie Raitt, Aerosmith, Josh Groban, and more. While their lineup has changed over the years, Castillo remains a constant and continues to guide the ensemble live and in the studio.
Although born in Detroit, Castillo opted to pursue his musical dreams in Oakland, California. It was in Oakland that Castillo put together a group called the Motowns, which, as their name suggested, specialized in ’60s-era soul. In 1967, Castillo teamed up with baritone sax player Stephen “Doc” Kupka, and soon the Motowns were transformed into Tower of Power. (One of the first tunes the duo penned together was “You’re Still a Young Man,” which would eventually go on to be one of Tower of Power’s signature compositions.) The group played regularly in the Bay Area throughout the late ’60s, as their lineup often swelled up to ten members, including such other mainstays as Greg Adams on trumpet and vocals, Lenny Pickett on sax, and Rocco Prestia on bass. By 1970, the funk outfit had inked a recording contract with Bill Graham’s San Francisco Records, resulting in the group’s debut the same year, East Bay Grease, which failed to make an impression on the charts as Tower of Power were still trying to find their own sound.
But it soon came together for the group, as 1972’s Bump City would touch off a string of classic hit albums, including 1973’s self-titled release (which introduced vocalist Lenny Williams and included another of the group’s most enduring tunes, “What Is Hip?”), 1974’s Back to Oakland, and 1975’s Urban Renewal and In the Slot. While Tower of Power remained a must-see live act, as disco became the new trend in R&B the group’s original funk-laden style fell out of favor, and disco-oriented albums like 1978’s We Came to Play and 1979’s Back on the Streets didn’t please critics or fans, and the band would go nine years without releasing an album.
Despite it all, Tower of Power — in particular their horn section — remained a much in-demand backing group for some of pop/rock’s biggest names, including Elton John, Santana, Bonnie Raitt, Huey Lewis, Little Feat, David Sanborn, Michelle Shocked, Paula Abdul, Aaron Neville, Aerosmith, Public Image Ltd., and many others. In 1988, Tower of Power returned to the studio for the album Power, and in 1991 they signed with Epic Records, where they released five albums by the end of the decade.
Into the new millennium, Tower of Power kept up their reputation as a strong live band, maintaining a steady touring schedule, and in 2009 they launched their own TOP Records label with The Great American Soulbook, in which they covered a dozen soul and R&B classics in the trademark Tower of Power style. In 2007, Tower of Power celebrated their fourth decade together with a special concert at San Francisco’s Fillmore Auditorium, and a year later the show was issued in a special CD/DVD package, simply titled 40th Anniversary.
In 2013, Tower of Power took a look back with the release of Hipper Than Hip: Yesterday, Today & Tomorrow, which documented a live radio broadcast from 1974. The bandmembers also announced they would be touring in 2013 and 2014 with two other iconic acts from Northern California, Journey and the Steve Miller Band. In 2018, they celebrated their 50th anniversary with the Joe Vannelli-produced studio album Soul Side of Town on Mack Avenue Records.

November 4, 2017 stefan.simonUncategorized
Until recently, in fact, no team or league official would acknowledge what she did for her players, and the agents who negotiated contracts for them were annoyed and dismissive of White. But overall, the altercation was nothing worse than what happens a dozen times a game.
Players can be nominated for the teams by coaches and fellow athletes, or can apply for teams by submitting an application along with video highlights of their football abilities. And my biggest takeaway and probably the best compliment I can pay a receiver is that he looked absolutely reliable.
Clemson just went to one of the toughest buildings in college football Virginia Tech’s Lane Stadium and left with a convincing victory. AFC, has 437 rush yards (109.3 per game) 7 TDs (6 rush, 1 rec.). The career doesn’t last forever, and shop cheap jersey [eating right] is healthier over the long term.”.
My take is more apathy than disinterest. Only takes one, you know. Central standout Ted McKnight scored 23 touchdowns in a six year NFL career from 1977 82, and Gordy Soltau, a receiver with the San Francisco 49ers from 1950 58, scored 25 touchdowns while adding 644 points as a placekicker.
I thought it was weird, but it’s one of those things you don’t question on the spot.. And two guys were found stabbed and killed, and you were charged with double murder.. The Pittsburgh Steelers, as promised, stood on the sideline during the national anthem after watching from the tunnel last week in Chicago.
River Cracraft finishes with 218 career receptions, second in WSU history to teammate Gabe Marks. To recap at what was supposed to have been a rally to support the candidacy of Senate candidate Luther Strange in Alabama on Friday, Trump called on NFL owners to get players off the field if they continue to kneel during the national anthem, a protest started by Colin Kaepernick last year.
Ellis had a flight to catch. And on the other side of the ball, Washington lost over 2,000 receiving yards and 135 receptions when they said bye to DeSean Jackson and Pierre Garcon. Several meetings over two days before a Monday night game in Arizona two weeks ago, the Cowboys and Jones kneeled arm in arm before the anthem.
In the off season and have family and friends there now. An attorney for Trump said in January that the president was resigning from the Trump Organization and handing leadership over to his sons to avoid the appearance of a conflict of interest.. Kerr after his team first practice of the season, are not normal times.
Take a deep breath in and take the bar off of the rack or, if not using a rack, push the bar up toward the ceiling.. Her dad said she still beats most men playing golf from the white tees. And then there’s the Ray Lewis who still people today, you know, will freely suggest is a murderer from what happened in Atlanta.
He had the strong backing of San Francisco 49ers general manager Trent Baalke, who said of Hayne on January 31: “I don’t have a crystal ball, but what I do know is that he is very conscientious and [playing in the NFL] is very important to him. Malcolm football sweatshirts Smith grabbed the interception in the end zone and we had the ball.
Earlier for our recently converted units into gas like Bathinda, Nangal, Panipat, we used to use it on spot gas those are very high costing. So calling up Laycock to recommend Paul. While much publicized concussions and head injuries account for some of the problems, they’re just one possible hardship of many for those who spend years slamming into cheap nba jerseys each other at full speed.
4 pick what it would offer for the top choice. I’m amazed how often sports teams will recycle average players, hoping they will repeat their best season, instead of giving opportunities to others. Offensive lineman Nick Becton hasn’t played a whole lot, but he’s been on a regular season roster a couple times.
If you’re kicking on artificial turf in the rain, you may want to use turf shoes, which have small rubber nubs and look like sneakers. Although the majority of historically black colleges in the United States are located in the Southern part of the country, two historically black colleges were founded in the Ohio..
RulesNFL towel boys can be either boys or girls, but they have to follow certain rules when working. The top 25 percent of all professional football trainers earn $71,500 or more each year.. Plus, Muir is scheduled to chair the NCAA basketball tournament selection committee in 2018 19, an honor he’d have to relinquish if he went to an ACC school n the conference already is represented on the panel by Duke AD Kevin White.
In fact, the Hokies have failed to cover in their last 10 games as double digit road favorites, dating back to 2011. Baker has the talent to become a play making safety with Pro Bowl potential if he can sustain his health.. Police said Berry made a best basketball kits couple of turns and sped off into the Chapel Lakes neighborhood..
DE DEMARCUS LAWRENCE had 2 sacks in Week 1, 2nd career multi sack game. And like a good defensive coordinator, Musico always had Elliott guessing, never following the same exercise sequence two workouts in a row. By September, the truth will be revealed..
Where he plays and how much he plays against the Panthers may give us a little better indication of where he might line up when the Titans kick things off for real Sept. Raiders might still be a bit unsettled at linebacker, where they could scour the waiver wire for help.

Health High fish consumption in pregnancy tied to brain benefits for kids
High fish consumption in pregnancy tied to brain benefits for kids

When mothers eat three sizeable servings of fish each week during pregnancy it may benefit children’s brains for years to come, according to a large study in Spain.
Researchers followed nearly 2,000 mother-child pairs from the first trimester of pregnancy through the child’s fifth birthday and found improved brain function in the kids whose mothers ate the most fish while pregnant, compared to children of mothers who ate the least.
Even when women averaged 600 grams, or 21 ounces, of fish weekly during pregnancy, there was no sign that mercury or other pollutants associated with fish were having a negative effect that offset the apparent benefits.
“Seafood is known to be an important source of essential nutrients for brain development, but at the same time accumulates mercury from the environment, which is known to be neurotoxic,” lead author Jordi Julvez, of the Center for Research in Environmental Epidemiology in Barcelona, said in an email.
In an attempt to balance the potential harms of such pollutants with the general health benefits of fish, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s 2014 guidelines encourage pregnant women to eat fish, but no more than 12 ounces per week.
The European Food Safety Authority recently issued a scientific opinion endorsing 150 g to 600 g of fish weekly during pregnancy, Julvez and colleagues note in the American Journal of Epidemiology. But, the study team writes, the effects of maternal fish consumption during development are still not well understood and more research could help give pregnant women clearer guidance.
The researchers analyzed data from the Spanish Childhood and Environment Project, a large population study that recruited women in their first trimester of pregnancy, in four provinces of Spain, between 2004 and 2008.
Julvez and colleagues focused on records of the women’s consumption of large fatty fish such as swordfish and albacore tuna, smaller fatty fish such as mackerel, sardines, anchovies or salmon, and lean fish such as hake or sole, as well as shellfish and other seafood.
Women were tested for blood levels of vitamin D and iodine, and cord blood was tested after delivery to measure fetal exposure to mercury and PCB pollutants. At ages 14 months and five years, the children underwent tests of their cognitive abilities and Asperger Syndrome traits to assess their neuropsychological development.
On average, the women had consumed about 500 g, or three servings, of seafood per week while pregnant. But with every additional 10 g per week above that amount, children’s test scores improved, up to about 600 g. The link between higher maternal consumption and better brain development in children was especially apparent when kids were five.
The researchers also saw a consistent reduction in autism-spectrum traits with increased maternal fish consumption.
Mothers’ consumption of lean fish and large fatty fish appeared most strongly tied to children’s scores, and fish intake during the first trimester, compared to later in pregnancy, also had the strongest associations.
“I think that in general people should follow the current recommendations,” Julvez said. “Nevertheless this study pointed out that maybe some of them, particularly the American ones, should be less stringent.”
Julvez noted that there didn’t appear to be any additional benefit when women ate more than 21 oz (about 595 g) of fish per week.
“I think it's really interesting, and it shed a lot more light on the benefits of eating fish during pregnancy,” said Dr. Ashley Roman, director of Maternal Fetal Medicine at NYU Langone Medical Center in New York.
“I think what's interesting about this study compared to some data previously is that they better quantify the relationship between how much fish is consumed in a diet and then the benefits for the fetus and ultimately the child,” said Roman, who was not involved in the study.
“They're able to correlate the fish consumption with protection from autism and I think that is potentially a very important finding,” she added.
Roman said that fish is really important for the fetus's brain development.
“We still recommend that women avoid the fish that are highest in mercury like catfish, shark, swordfish and giant mackerel, typically the larger fish that have longer lifespans and they tend to concentrate more mercury in their tissue,” she said.
Even babies see social cues at mealtime
More evidence suggest even very young children think in sophisticated ways about subtle social cues.

Underwood to play Maria in 'Sound of Music'
The singer will star in the coveted role of Maria von Trapp in NBC’s live broadcast of “The Sound of Music,” based on the original Broadway musical, the network announced on Friday.
Audience tunes out American Music Awards
Despite rolling out Justin Bieber acceptance speeches about his haters and his mom, Nicki Minaj in pink wig and fake snow, more Taylor Swift ring kissing, Christina Aguilera, Carly Rae Jepsen, Kelly Clarkson, Usher, Carrie Underwood, Ke$ha, Pink, Pitbull, Linkin Park, No Doubt and the triumphant return of MC Hammer in a “Gangman Style” dance-off with PSY, the “American Music Awards” suffered its smallest audience in its 40-year history Sunday night.
Hosts Underwood, Paisley ready for 5th CMA Awards
Spend a lot of time with a guy over five years and you get to know him pretty well. In the time Carrie Underwood has spent co-hosting the Country Music Association Awards with Brad Paisley, she's learned there's nothing fake about the man with the white hat. Paisley's not projecting the family first, fun-loving, good-guy persona that's made him one of country music's most popular stars. That's who he is, and he's found an uncommon balance Underwood really didn't believe existed in show business.
Review: Carrie Underwood’s dark side gives way to the sunshine on ‘Blown Away’
Carrie Underwood promised that her fourth album, “Blown Away,” would be “darker” than the country-pop sun rays she’s been known to radiate. False alarm. This is merely a trans-faux-mation — that thing pop stars do when they dabble in minor-key melodies, frowny lyrics and/or smoky eye shadow, hoping their listeners will mistake a superficial shift in tone for a meaningful artistic left turn.
Underwood, Miranda Lambert lead CMT nominations
With Carrie Underwood, Miranda Lambert and Taylor Swift atop the list, look no further than the CMT Music Awards nominations for proof country music's new favorite color is blonde.
Underwood top winner at American Country Awards
When it comes to Las Vegas, Carrie Underwood is a sure bet. Underwood won her second country music artist of the year award of 2010 in Sin City on Monday night. She earned it at the inaugural American Country Awards about eight months after she won the top honor at the Academy of Country Music Awards in April.

Fans lift Carrie Underwood to 2 CMT Awards wins
The fans love Carrie Underwood and they proved it again during the CMT Music Awards. The former "American Idol" champ won Wednesday night's top honor, video of the year for "Cowboy Casanova," and CMT performance of the year for "Temporary Home" two months after making history by winning her second Academy of Country Music Awards entertainer of the year. Both awards are chosen by fans tuned into the live shows.
'Idol Gives Back' To Feature Elton John, Carrie Underwood and....Bill Gates?
Simon Fuller, the entertainment magnate behind "American Idol" and its charity event airing Wednesday, is trumpeting a starry lineup that includes Elton John, Alicia Keys and Carrie Underwood. But he played it coy when asked about the "Idol Gives Back" role of two other prominent people. Bill and Melinda Gates, supporters of the fundraiser since it launched in 2007, "have done something very special, quite incredible, this year," Fuller said. Pressed for details, he would only advise that you must watch the broadcast.
