__label__wiki	0.653105	0.653105	Reflect That Everybody's At The Mall Anticon Releases Dusted EP by Raleigh Moncrief In the wake of his acclaimed debut LP Watered Lawn, Sacramento producer Raleigh Moncrief continues his unpredictable journey through new aural territory. As both a solo artist and behind-the-scenes support – most notably with the Dirty Projectors and fellow Sacramentan Zach Hill – Moncrief has displayed rare comfort in a variety of genres, possessing an uncanny ability to pair the familiar with the unfamiliar. Opener "Reflect That" drifts in like a half-remembered dream; a bed of woozy synth and homing-beacon blips serves to cradle Moncrief's mournful falsetto. "On Feedback" is the first true taste of the EP's strength in duality, pairing warehouse-sized bass hits and snapping snares, yet the tone never moves far from thick melancholy. "Everybody's at the Mall" is chant in expansive haze, exemplifying the sense of isolation that defines Dusted as a whole. In Dusted's most impressive feat, "First Person" re-imagines the all-holy air horn as a centralized instrument – large, distorted, and bent to massive proportion. As the beat skitters and thuds below, Moncrief's voice floats along a more ephemeral plane, seemingly unaware of the mayhem below. "Dusted" serves as the EP's penultimate climax. Many of contemporary electronic music's familiar elements are present– skittering snare fills, build-and-drop beats, and again there's that air horn – but Moncrief's method of employing them is wholly unique. The elements pile atop one another until the song reaches it's anthemic fever pitch, then immediately drops out and reverses trajectory. A rapid downward drift finds the finale soaked in an ether of distant, bare melody. It's the sound of synthesis immediately followed by dissipation; indicative of an artist as restless as he is creative. *all cassette orders of this product include instant free download of 320 kbps mp3 files.

__label__wiki	0.767989	0.767989	Nancy Wozny December 9, 2013 FilmHoustonReviews6 min read IMAGE ABOVE: From North of South, West of East. Barbara Hammer. Photo courtesy of HCAF. I can’t say whether it was the best Houston Cinema Arts Festival yet, but it was my best festival. Why? I did some homework—always a good idea if time is limited. I also got comfortable with the fact that there would be excellent films and events that I would miss and hear about later. Why be overwhelmed when you can be happy with the film in front of you? Sometimes, I made decisions based on an insider tip; other times, because of the Sprinkles cupcakes down at the spacious HCAF headquarters. I could very well be getting this film festival thing down. Every year, there is one film or event that stands out for me as an anchor experience. Last year, it was Phil Solomon’s American Falls, a stunning film that I visited often during the five days. This year, Barbara Hammer’s two portraits of women artists, Lover Other and Maya Deren’s Sink, took that honor. Hammer’s immersive documentary style takes us into the worlds of these artists in such a way that we feel tethered to their lives. In Lover Other, the story of Claude Cahun and her girlfriend and lover Marcel Moore is revealed as Hammer revels in their completely original body of work. Both films are sensuous and dreamy, while fully evoking a sense of location, which was especially true in Maya Deren’s Sink. That fact that Hammer was in the room with me during the screening added to my star-stuck experience. Jonas Mekas, another giant of the avant-garde, came to town for a showing of Sleepless Night Stories and for the opening of Life Goes On…I Keep Singing, at Deborah Colton Gallery, which features Fragments of Paradise, a video created especially for the exhibit. Also on view are many stills from his iconic films and the eerie WTC Haikus, Mekas’love poemto the World Trade Center, an inseparable part of his life during his time living in Soho. The exhibit continues though Dec. 28. Houston Ballet in Stanton Welch’s The Rite of Spring. Photo by Amitava Sarkar. A line around the block at the MFAH for the Houston Ballet: Breaking Boundaries documentary showed serious hometown team support. John Carrithers did a marvelous job condensing 40-plus years of history into an hour, allowing room for some vintage footage of Ben Stevenson in China, Debbie Allen’s early years with the organization and excellent coverage of the brief, but stirring 1970s, with the mysterious James Clouser at the helm. Who knew that the first rock ballet came from Houston? Carrithers managed to meld the stories we know with little known trivia about the organization. The documentary most comes alive under Carrithers’ dance-loving eye in the scenes of the company in motion today. Overhead shots of La Bayadere and wing shots of Stanton Welch’s The Rite of Spring let us breathe in ballet in all of its treasured glory. I could have seen more of that. I highly suspect this will not be his only foray into dance. Requiem NN, by acclaimed Colombian artist Juan Manuel Echavarría and produced by Houston resident Margarita De la Vega-Hurtado, revealed a more understated documentary style. Only the occasional sound of water accompanies the tales of the people from Puerto Berrío, who have adopted the dead bodies found in Colombia’s Magdalena River as a kind of spiritual kin. Their tales of keeping alive the memories of the disappeared is solemn, poignant, and speaks to the resilience of the human spirit in the face of continued violence. An exhibit of Echavarría’s photographs at HCAF headquarters made for a moving accompaniment to the film. Cutie and The Boxer. There were times I thought HCAF should be called “the tragedy of being an artist” film festival. Cutie and the Boxer, Zachary Heinzerling’s whimsical film, chronicled the difficult lives of Ushio Shinohara and Noriko Shinohara. Heinzerling’s unobtrusive camera lent a gentle presence. As Noriko joked during the Q & A, “Zachary became like an object in my apartment.” More artistic unhappiness could be found in Persistence of Vision, Kevin Schreck’s heartbreaking saga of Richard Williams’ (Who Framed Roger Rabbit?) stillborn masterpiece, 25 years in the (not) making. What a reminder that finished is better than brilliant any day. Even Big Joy: The Adventures of James Broughton pointed to the folly of artists’ self-centered lives. Broughton—the great pioneer of experimental cinema, poet, and bard of Gay Liberation— is brought into full view by directors Stephen Silha, Eric Slade and Dawn Logsdon. Still from Big Joy: The Adventures of James Broughton Photo by Bill Deslo. Audiences experienced Meredith Danluck’s intriguing four-screen film, North of South, West of East, in swivel chairs. It proved as interesting to watch the watchers as the film itself, which set off on four separate narratives that cleverly culminated at the end. Danluck employed our eroding attention spans to good use in her deconstructed narrative. I appreciated the gentle and crisp charm of The Love Songs of Tiedan, Hao Jie’s tribute to a rather unsubtle form of Chinese folk singing. The film just revels in its oddness, making it a fitting way for me to wrap up a day in the dark. Alexander Payne’s bleak Nebraska could possibly the ultimate holiday movie. It features crusty old men, a bitter, cranky mom, awkward cousins, strained family get togethers and enough regret to fill a Nebraska cornfield. Bruce Dern should get an Oscar for his raw-to-the-bone portrayal of Woody, the boozed-out father, who believes he has won a million dollars. Will Forte delivered a spot-on stoic performance as his dutiful son, Dave. Forte and producer Ron Yerxa were both in town for the Festival. —NANCY WOZNY Nancy Wozny is editor in chief at Arts and Culture Texas, a contributing editor at Dance Magazine and a frequent contributor to Pointe Magazine and Dance Teacher.	cc/2021-04/en_middle_0015.json.gz/line22

Although no strangers to performing in the same events, musicians Tatjana Vaitkienė and Algimantas Pauliukevičius will appear on the stage as a duet for the first time ever in this year’s “Guitar Fiesta”. The event also features the well-known masters of the guitar, “Martynas Kuliavas and Alex Ten duo”.

Following that, Martynas Kliukavas shall remain on the stage to perform in a duet with the queen of blues, Arina Borunova. Last but not least, Goda Gabalytė’s and Paulius Kinderis’ duet, “Right Wing” will also play for us, delighting us with refreshing rock compositions.

__label__wiki	0.678825	0.678825	Fri. Dec 18th, 2020 Scavenging by threatened turtles regulates freshwater ecosystem health during fish kills Estimation of turtle catch per unit effort Carp carcass decomposition Mesocosm experiment Turtle trapping and experiment procedure We conducted our field experiment in February–April 2018 at two wetland complexes near Murray Bridge, South Australia, selecting two study sites at each complex (Supplementary Fig. S3). At each site, we estimated turtle population density using catch-per-unit-effort (CPUE; Supplementary Table S1). We conducted three 3-day rounds of turtle trapping using a combination of fyke and cathedral traps, baited with offal. Up to eight traps were deployed at a time. We calculated turtle CPUE by dividing the total number of turtles caught (regardless of species) by the total trap-hours. The number of trap-hours was similar across all four sites (average 1685 ± 7.6 SE total trap-hours). After the first and the second trapping rounds, we deployed whole carp carcasses at each site to measure carp decomposition rates depending on turtle accessibility. We placed each carp in a pre-weighed plastic box (340 × 230 × 120 mm), securing it with cable ties. Carp were made non-accessible to turtles in half of the deployments by covering the plastic boxes with 25 × 25 mm mesh (Supplementary Fig. S4). The mesh prevented turtle access to the carp, but was large enough to allow scavenging by crayfish (Cherax destructor) and other freshwater invertebrates. We tied each box to a brick and submerged the boxes around the four study sites ≥ 30 m away from each other, sunk at an average depth of 436 mm (± 13 SE). We used a total of 38 accessible and 40 non-accessible carp, split between our four study sites over two rounds (Supplementary Table S9). Every day, starting from day 2, the box and carp were weighed together with a digital scale. In all measurements, we calculated the wet mass of the carp by subtracting the box weight from the total weight. Carp carcasses were left in the wetlands for up to 10 days, or until they were fully consumed. All work was performed in accordance with DEWNR Permit M26663-1, PIRSA permits MP0085 and ME9902980, and The University of Sydney Animal Ethics Committee approval (project number 2017/1208), observing all relevant guidelines and regulations. We analysed our data using RStudio 1.1.45633 (packages: “lme4” 1.1-2134, “MuMIn” 1.42.135). To assess whether turtles were important scavengers of our carcasses, we computed a linear mixed model testing whether turtle CPUE and carp access (yes/no) affected the rate of mass loss of the carp carcasses. The turtle CPUE values used were the average CPUE in the trapping round before and after each carp was deployed. We used the rate of mass loss per day as a dependent variable. We included the carp mass before deployment as an independent variable to account for initial mass variation, and we included study site as a random variable. We log-transformed all data before analysis. We assessed model fit by examining predicted versus residual and Q–Q plots, and testing the normality of residuals. We caught 20 adult male E. macquarii with fyke nets baited with offal at Hawkesview Lagoon, Albury, NSW, in November 2018. The E. macquarii captured at this site belong to the same genetic population as the E. macquarii trapped in South Australia36, therefore we expect behaviours to be similar between the two populations. We focussed on E. macquarii as this is the most common species in the Murray–Darling Basin, and fish carrion is an important part of its diet19,37. The turtles were transported by car to the Experimental Wetlands facility at Western Sydney University, in Richmond, NSW (Supplementary Fig. S5). This facility is comprised of 10 circular mesocosms (0.42 m depth × 2.1 m diameter) filled with 1,450 L of tap water. Each is an independent flow-through system where the water flow is regulated, and was maintained at 1998.6 ml/min (± 149.5 SE) throughout the experiment. Each mesocosm had two cement blocks for the turtles to bask on, and two plastic tunnels for shelter. The experiment was conducted for 40 days, therefore it is a short-term study (Supplementary Fig. S6). Upon arrival at the facility, we placed four adult male E. macquarii turtles in each of five random mesocosms, which means the experimental replication was 5. The remaining five mesocosms were controls and had no turtles. The four turtles comprised an average 5,376.6 g total biomass per pond, each being 3.46 m2. This would result in a biomass of 11,560 individuals/ha or 15,537 kg/ha on average. Kinosternon integrum has been estimated reaching densities of 20,000 individuals/ha in Sonora, Mexico, while Podocnemis vogli may reach 10,300 individuals/ha or 15,450 kg/ha in Venezuela, likely in temporary aggregations38. Emydura macquarii tend to congregate around food sources, therefore we considered four turtles per carp carrion as a realistic density. After 7 days of acclimation, we introduced one carp carcass to all mesocosms, and a second 6 days later. We used one ~ 1 kg carp at a time to simulate a density close to 3,144 kg carp/ha31. The turtles had continual access to the carp, which was their main food source throughout the experiment. The day all carp carcasses were fully eaten in all turtle mesocosms, we removed turtles from their mesocosms and released them at the point of capture. On the same day (day 10), we ended the data collection in their mesocosms, because any further change in water quality here would not have been related to carp decomposition. We continued the daily water quality measurements in the five control mesocosms until all carp were fully decomposed (day 32). This experimental design allowed us to collect water quality data without the need to add turtle food to the mesocosms, which would have biased our measurements once carp were removed from the turtle mesocosms. We measured water temperature, dissolved oxygen, conductivity, turbidity, phosphate, and ammonia concentration in all mesocosms every morning from the day before the first carp introduction (see Supplementary Materials for equipment used). We also photographed the carcasses daily to estimate their decomposition rate based on a scale (Supplementary Table S10) designed after the decomposition stages described by Benninger et al.39 Due to the short transit time of fish matter in E. macquarii’s gut37, the effects of the turtles’ metabolic wastes on water quality are included in our experiment for carp 1. All work was performed in accordance with OEH Permit SL100401, DPI permit P09/0070-3.0, and Western Sydney University Animal Ethics Committee Animal Research Authority approval A12390, observing all relevant guidelines and regulations. To assess whether the presence of turtles affected the decomposition of carp we computed a mixed linear model using the repeated measures PROC MIXED procedure using SAS (3.8 University Edition, SAS Institute Inc., Cary, NC, USA). For this model, days to total decomposition/removal was a dependent variable, turtle presence/absence was a fixed effect, and carp number (first or second) was a repeated fixed effect. We used DO, conductivity, turbidity, phosphate, and ammonia to carry out a principal component analysis (PCA) using PROC PRINCOMP. We conducted a PCA because the parameters are a multivariate response and have potential to covary with each other, which would not be detected in univariate analyses. We considered a parameter loaded onto a PC when the absolute value of its eigenvector was > 0.300. If the same parameter loaded onto more than one PC, we considered it only on the PC where its eigenvector had a higher absolute value. To test the effect of turtles scavenging on water quality, we computed general linear mixed models (GLMMs), using PCs as response variables, in PROC MIXED. We used a PC as response variable if its eigenvalue was greater than one (Kaiser criterion40). For each of these GLMMs, we included turtle presence (yes/no) and day number after the first carp introduction as fixed effects, water temperature and flow as covariates, and mesocosm ID as a random effect. We computed a model with full interactions first, and then, in absence of four- or three-way interactions, simplified the model to focus on main effects. Finally, to test the effect of turtle scavenging on each water quality parameter, a GLMM was computed for each (logged) parameter that loaded onto a PC with eigenvalue > 1, i.e. dissolved oxygen, ammonia, turbidity, conductivity, phosphate. For these GLMMs, turtle presence and day number were fixed effects, water temperature and flow were covariates, and mesocosm ID was a random effect.

After welcoming baby daughter Harper Seven earlier this month, sexy soccer star David Beckham has another special delivery he'd like to share: his Homme by David Beckham fragrance ad campaign. The foxy former Armani model reveals exclusive behind-the-scenes photos and video footage on his Facebook page, offering fans a sneak peek of the smoldering shoot that will soon be hitting magazine pages, billboards, and (let's be honest) our bedroom walls. Directed by Anthony Mandler and photographed by Alasdair McLellan back in March, the Los Angeles-based campaign sees Beckham giving Don Draper a run for his money in a sleek charcoal gray suit as he opens up about his "more masculine" scent and the power of grooming. "Whether you're going for a rugged look, or want to look a bit rough but still in a cool, clean way, or whether you just want to go for a clean, sharp look, I think it's always important for a man to look after himself," the budding fashion mogul says. "It's something that I've always done and that I will continue to do." Glad to hear it. The forthcoming commercial will also see the star showing off his inked body as he jumps, shirtless, out of a window. DVR, here we come!

__label__wiki	0.594248	0.594248	News & info > Bring on the dancing ponies 3/YouTube Time was when those twee animal clips on YouTube were uploaded by fond pet owners wanting to spread the cute. Popular phenomena can never be left in the hands of amateurs though, and it’s only so long before the multinationals muscle in with a budget and a creative director to come up with a clip that will get slack-jawed iPhone gawpers saying "awww, cool". Such is the case with mobile network 3’s ad featuring a moondancing Shetland pony, essentially a fairly crude piece of video manipulation soundtracked by Fleetwood Mac’s catchy Everywhere (which will no doubt be soaring up the downloads chart thanks to the saturation broadcasts). It’s already racking up countless YouTube hits. So far, mildly depressing. In the age of the joined-up marketing campaign though, we are then subjected to the PR teasers telling us that the Shetland pony in question, called Socks apparently (a cute pop culture reference to Bill Clinton’s cat) won an "X Factor style" contest to find the right pony, beating off the challenges of hundreds of other wannabes. CLICK HERE TO WATCH: Bring on the dancing ponies - Video The Sun was happy to play along. "He had to be trained for two weeks so his dancing skills were up to scratch," the paper claimed. He really didn’t, because ponies don’t dance. Owner Mari Williamson said: "I always knew he was a star, it was just a case of everyone else finding out. Socks is not like any other Shetland pony, he's unique. He's a quirky character and a happy chappy." Thanks for that Mari, but could we persuade you to say something else inane that would tie in with another topical news story. Oh, go on. "No one is getting to eat my moonwalking pony." It gets worse. Apparently Norwegian stylist Bjorn Larsen used horse-hair extensions and hairspray to make Socks look like "a cross between a young Rod Stewart and Limahl". Were the SSPCA informed? Customers of 3 might prefer the company to improve its network coverage (Shetland would be an appropriate place to start) rather than blow its users' cash on what aficionados of Cockney rhyming slang would recognise as a load of old pony.

Riverside County Supervisor Jeff Stone apparently thinks so, after proposing that the county lead a campaign for as many as 13 Southern California counties to secede from the state. Stone said in a statement late Thursday that Riverside, Imperial, San Diego, Orange, San Bernardino, Kings, Kern, Fresno, Tulare, Inyo, Madera, Mariposa and Mono counties should form the new state of South California. The creation of the new state would allow officials to focus on securing borders, balancing budgets, improving schools and creating a vibrant economy, he said. http://losangeles.cbslocal.com/2011/...om-california/ DUNCAN, Oklahoma -- An ex-marine and Oklahoma militia man sparks a nationwide manhunt.

FIFE LAKE, Michigan - Nearly 10 years after Sept. 11, security analysts say new threats are emerging from modern-day militias, whose members pack rifles and practice survival tactics preparing for eventual battle right in our own communities. “The militias in effect are the … people (who) really specialize in engaging in paramilitary training in the woods and those kinds of things,” said Mark Potok, who studies militias for the Southern Poverty Law Center, a nonprofit civil rights organization in Montgomery, Ala.

I do know a number of people who are adept at explosives and have more than basic competence with firearms - the two most popular local military institutions in our four-county area have been the Sapper company and Navy CB unit. I know even more people who are very adept at the use of firearms - whether members of a number of local sportsmens clubs or not. NRA members (including myself as a Life member since the 1970s) abound. That being said, I can honesty say that I don't personally know anyone who is a "militia member". A son of a friend of mine and my father (the friend being a BS recipient from WWII) may have been involved in a militia unit (non-violent) to the south of us (strictly from the media). In short, Mr. Potok and his opinions do amuse me - when I see him on cable. But, I don't think Mr. Potok would like me or my friends. Last edited by jmm99; 09-09-2011 at 03:19 AM. Bob's World An armed populace is not a threat to a nation. Government that seeks to oppress or disarm an armed populace is a threat to a nation. The true "fourth branch" of government that keeps the other three from over-riding the checks and balances contained in the constitution. Every good bit of law needs to come with an enforcement function to make it work. That function for the constitution is an armed, informed populace that is free to assemble, vote, and speak their mind. Best part is, it doesn't cost the taxpayer a dime. Robert C.

(AP) — Hundreds of Longshoremen stormed the Port of Longview early Thursday, overpowered and held security guards, damaged railroad cars, and dumped grain that is the center of a labor dispute, said Longview Police Chief Jim Duscha. Six guards were held hostage for a couple of hours after 500 or more Longshoremen broke down gates about 4:30 a.m. and smashed windows in the guard shack, he said. No one was hurt, and nobody has been arrested. Most of the protesters returned to their union hall after cutting brake lines and spilling grain from car at the EGT terminal, Duscha said. http://news.yahoo.com/longshoremen-s...144921214.html Sergeant T Longshoremen A little better coverage in The Seattle Times. That picture embedded in the story is worth 10,000 words. Curious thing is that both unions, the current one and the one the terminal operator wants to bring in, are under AFL-CIO. Going to set a bad precedent if no charges are filed above and beyond the initial arrests. Our nation has a long history of violent labor protests, often initiated by unions, but with the mood of the country nation wide I can see this spreading if it is not effectively suppressed. I also can't help but wonder if some folks in the White House aren't cheering this on to achieve political objectives. Union violence nowadays is particularly problematic because it's a sign of weakening power, not increasing power. With higher union membership, there would be less incitement to violence because those who would benefit from union activities would be able to achieve their goals through non-violent means. But union membership, as I understand it, is down and shrinking, which leads to violence because those goals can't be met.

But to say that an armed populace is not a threat to a nation doesn't really make sense. Of course it's a threat to a nation--that's the whole point, as you outlined yourself in the paragraphs following. An armed populace is an explicit threat that if the government of the nation fails to execute its duties properly, it will be removed. The problem, such as it is, is that the entirety of the armed populace isn't in agreement about what proper execution of government duties consists of. In a less beneficial sense, a subsection of the armed populace can be just as much of a threat--as in, actual threat, not enforcer of the national will--to the nation as, say, nineteen guys and two airplanes can. It's as unwise to turn a blind eye to that sort of threat as it is to turn a blind eye towards union violence. What concerns me on a personal level is who the most vociferous gun-holders are. If they had their druthers, people like me would be as unwelcome as if those nineteen guys had gotten theirs. An armed populace is an explicit threat that if the government of the nation fails to execute its duties properly, it will be removed. This is a peculiar myth that seems to be strong in the U.S. only, likely due to NRA lobbying. There's not even a dismal chance that empirical analysis of history will support this myth. Oh, and before someone asks; the other, associated myth that an early action of all new dictators (including Hitler) is to disarm the population is wrong, too. Gun control laws were passed in Germany in the late 20's already, and multiple dictatorships around the world tolerated rifle and other arms possession by civilians.

No problem with Sky or the NZRFU helping with the costs for the ratepayer. I note in that respect, a comment I came across elsewhere along the lines that the Chch CBD was well in retreat prior to the quakes and that the new green areas reflect that...and also serve to maintain if not increase the value of the rest of the land. Which is nice of the ratepayers of Chch to help the developers maintain their equity whilst increasing the cost of new building. :) Ed Muzik, in reply to Emma Hart, 13:50 Jul 31, 2012 Lancaster Park is also just a short walk from the CBD, and could be a dedicated cricket ground. Once the stands are down you'd have a great view of the Port Hills. It's right next to the train line, if we ever get that going for public transport. It has history - Astle blasting 222 in a test against England springs to mind. And it doesn't involve fencing off part of Hagley Park. But no-one seems to want to talk about it. Christchurch • Since Dec 2006 • 28 posts Report Reply Hebe, in reply to Barnaby Bennett, 13:51 Jul 31, 2012 we have two options, either I’m underestimating what it takes to get to this level of details, or there is a lot of decision making that has taken place that is not in this plan. I’ve seen small teams of architecture or design students produce as much as this in 100 days before, so I’m led to believe the gritty detail in this has been left out on purpose. I’m also inclined to belief that some big and controversial decisions have been made and not announced today to protect the good news of the delivery. The absence of any announcement on the town hall is characteristic of this. That's the point of this"grand plan" surely; not to do details, but to make a general framework. Details -- such as the town hall - are problematic because each building is a separate decision to be made. Each of those decisions is unique because structural, land, insurance negotiations, planning, and existing use rights factors all come into play in a different form in each case. If CCDU were to try to decide everything, the blueprint would take five years; the amount of work to do is incomprehensibly huge. The message that still is not easily communicated is how massive the destruction of the CBD of New Zealand's second-largest city actually is. The CBD is munted, it's buggered, it's not there any more, it's dead (think John Cleese thumping the dead parrot on the counter). Gone. It's a world-class disaster; one of the biggest destructions of a Western world CBD ever. Think Willis St to Mt Vic, Wakefield St to Abel Smith St with the big buildings gone and about 25 per cent of the smaller ones left. Or take out the same from the waterfront to K Road. Then you've just about got the scale of destruction. So the Town Hall in that scheme is a detail, and where exactly housing is to go, and where the secondhand bookshops will wedge themselves etc etc. (I'm thinking east of the green frame to Fitzgerald, but most likely St Asaph to Moorhouse for the quirky). Some of those things will be decided, others will grow; whatever the people I talk to agree on 20 years for a mostly working CBD and 50 to have the city crammed. It's billed as a blueprint, and I'm happy about that because I want space for things and people to develop and grow; a plastic totally planned CBD would be awful.

James Caygill, in reply to Emma Hart, 13:56 Jul 31, 2012 I seem to be the person in Chch who’s in favour of the Hagley Oval upgrade. A proper for-real test cricket venue in Christchurch? Yes fucking please. Auckland doesn’t currently have an international test ground. Parking is a concern, yeah, but there’s no street parking round the Basin Reserve, either. I'm another one Emma. The upgrade of the Oval has been talked about for years - actually the biggest impediment to it (pre-quake) was the netball courts on the other side of the park, because being unable to shift them and messing with the oval messed with the overall layout of the sports grounds in South Hagley. If people want to get up in arms about private use of the park why don't we get angrier about the CCC continually bailing out the golf course in North Hagley? I for one would happily see it go in favour of the Hagley Oval upgrade.

Emma Hart, in reply to Lilith __, 14:04 Jul 31, 2012 The number of times I either fell in a bunker or got sprayed by the automatic sprinklers short-cutting through the park in the dark... But yeah, the golf course is bizarre. You'd never be able to do that now if it weren't already there. Lancaster Park is also just a short walk from the CBD, and could be a dedicated cricket ground. Something needs to be done with that space, for sure. But it's not just that the stands of the stadium are munted, the ground - the actual Lancaster Park - is too. Rebuilding a cricket ground there could turn out to be more expensive than starting from scratch. I guess the same goes for what might have been the ideal place for it - the pitches at QEII.

The land is not viable for building on anytime soon. That's why we have a lovely river park. It's also why there are big questionmarks over whether the Town Hall is rescuable: the building could come back, but the land is unstable.

Robert Fox, in reply to Ed Muzik, 14:17 Jul 31, 2012 If the cricket oval development goes ahead, and I hope it does, you could always free up more recreational space in the park by getting rid of the ridiculous golf course. I think this is going to be a huge issue as Hagley Park is a bit of a sacred cow when any development is proposed. I cant see any harm in improving an existing sporting facility there. Patrick Reynolds at Transportblog posts about the blueprint's lack of bringing alive the key changes spelled out in the central city plan through integrated transport planning. A key to making these five aims real would be to make damn sure that the first lines drawn on any page are direct and effective transit links between key sources of vitality and the centre that they are trying to revive. And then of course to continue to design the arrangement of new generators of activity around direct and appealing means of interconnection. That successful land use and good transport links go together is pretty elemental planning. Buses will clearly be the best immediate mode to use this new system as they can quickly and cheaply be reintroduced and levels of service ramped up as the rebuild continues. But to not plan for the possibility of upgrading to more appealing and permanent electric systems on key routes such as out to the university and the coast would be singularly short sighted. But the key is the network, the system, not the mode; and in the plan released yesterday there is no sign of any thought about the role that transport plays in in both forming place and the success or otherwise of it. merc, 14:20 Jul 31, 2012 Gerry says sell.

It still made a difference to her now, but would it by the end. He would do that, lie there for a time, listening to her breathe, trying to gauge something about her, she did not know what. Or maybe he was just working himself up, savoring the pleasures of the day before they began. It would not have served without Fairbrother. Believe me: no single man could have done anything for Somerset at that moment. And Bourke too has written to the Horse Guards. He rolled over, looking up at Doyle. The organisation hid weapons and explosives there. He dropped the shovel and pulled the Beretta from its shoulder holster, pointing it at Leary.

The Fatimids had tried to break the tower with rocks and burn it with fire, and none of it had worked. Now they had nothing to rely on but their desperation. It might still be enough: they knew what vengeance the Franks would take on them in defeat, and they fought as only condemned men can. The Fatimids redoubled their efforts, hurling fire against the tower even as they bombarded those of us on the ground with arrows, while we tried to shield ourselves from the onslaught and retaliate in kind to force them back off the rampart.

But as I watched, one of the tourists, a guy just barely out of his teens, was pulled down by some of the corpses. They descended on him like a pack of dogs, and his screaming and kicking stopped in an instant. The zombies were falling out the back of the truck into a pile, but spurred on by the nearness of meat, they were driving themselves to their feet and lumbering into the mob. The tourists panicked as they saw their friends getting disemboweled right in front of them. The rear rank now fronted again. He ran to the centre of the line and waved his sabre. They turned tail and ran without a parting shot. Colonel Hervey, how would it look to your Duke of Wellington if you were killed at the head of a company of infantry.

Tee allowed himself to pursue that train of thought as he drove to headquarters. The next thing I knew, I was out of my seat, standing in the aisle. I ignored him and moved toward Walker and McAllister. He had appeared from up front, flanked by two of the ambiguous security men.

He had not received money from his father - the Old Man had not believed Benedict capable of successfully negotiating the purchase of a pound of butter. He pressed the bell opposite the card that read Aaron Cohen, Manufacturing jeweller, and when the door opened he climbed the stairs to the top and fourth floor. The doorman led Benedict down the passage. He turned to the right-hand door and went through it into a long room that clearly occupied most of the top floor of the building.

For a brief time the fools in power, who should have known better, declared our business illegal. We were shut down, our assets confiscated, and any of us who opened our mouths were threatened with jail time. That explained the gap in the memorial plaques, but not what happened on December 15th. Ignorant bastards just had to have their fingers in everything. In the darkness I could make out a dim figure crouched in the kitchen. A flashlight beam stabbed out, pinning me in its glare. Suddenly I heard a muffled pop, followed by a sharp stab of pain. I crashed to the floor, landing hard on my side. I clutched my knee in agony, blood hot and sticky on my fingers.

Emma has forbidden me anything stronger in the afternoon. Your Captain Fairbrother is evidently a man of resource and sensibility. I wonder the castle had never sought to employ him before. I declare I thought Somerset a tricky man when first I met him, but he has shown himself of a very true disposition. It would not have served without Fairbrother. ue4 vr hands ik The huge restaurant pot that she had last seen covered with cooking scum was scrubbed spotless. Surprisingly, the wrench was not rusted shut. It had been oiled and maintained, and the bolt on the sink trap had marks on it as if it had been opened frequently.

Still the Pasha, who was yet faithful to his trust, indignantly refused to receive a summons to capitulate.

And I wonder how much it affected the fabulous story he insisted that I hear. More accurately, he told me that the Lord had sent him a vision. Now, many men see visions, the poor and simple more than most. Certainly, some are divinely inspired, others the product of credulous enthusiasm or wishful thinking. He concludes that it is going to be a skinny little lad with glasses by the name of Alvar. If anybody objects, or even hits back, Tore calls Hjalmar.

She would not cry in front of Phil. There was no body, no blood, no strange cars in the driveway. The police searched his house, cars and boat. They acted like I was a nutcase.

Instead, she talked to his chest, the way the men talked to hers. Another time, it would have been sexy. Now, it was like being doused with cold water. She could feel a full-body blush creeping down past her shoulders. She adjusted her soda bottles to make sure they covered as much chest as possible. I pulled you out of the fire, remember. eve online loki exploration fit Peggy sighed and dragged him to the big sink in the laundry room. Getting him into it was a whole other thing. By the time she was finished with him, she was covered in flour and only half of the dog was really clean. He bounced around on the grass until he came to the end of his tether. She had to turn down the one date she really wanted. Only good little boys wore such polished shoes and clean shirts and had their hair combed so neatly. Far removed from the conquered city, nearly two weeks deep into the trackless wilderness, and this lone edifice was the only thing to be seen. I was sitting on the steps of the church.

Al-Afdal would not remove himself from his capital this long without good reason. The other river traffic, I noticed, steered a safe distance away from it. Looking back, I could see the southern edge of the city receding, and the arid fields beyond the walls. I tied a branch across the trunk of a tree and let that stand for a marker, though the only rope I had to use was the one that had hanged him.

The Ruperts began cheering again as flames took hold and the mizzen toppled. How had Fellowes allowed himself to be pressed so. The range was too great and the motion of the ship too uneven, however. Nevertheless the corvettes recognized the approaching danger. Peto smiled, ironically: the wind, such as it was, now worked to his advantage.

Jacob Skarre was considerably younger with blond curls. The grass was crowded with men and women and Axel went to meet them. He was a man overcome by grief and anxiety, his voice carried on the wind. You could detect traces of anguish and vulnerability in it. Closer to us, though, the river forked around a thin island, which seemed to have escaped or repaired the ravages of the civil war: low mud-brick warehouses lined the shore, and dozens of wooden jetties marched out into the water on stilts. Between them, a score of boats in various states of progress sat lifted on wooden cradles in shipyards.

Craig Adams, Max Lapierre, Christian Ehrhoff and the Steve Downie are the four locks who won’t be back. There will be no attempt to resign Adams and Lapierre, while Ehrhoff and Downie are preparing to move on. Ehrhoff looking to join a contender again, prefers to return West the Penguins believe, but he’s likely to have a few options in the East. His agent Rick Curran has talked with up to five teams, three Western Conference, two Eastern Conference teams, Inside Pittsburgh Sports has learned. Steve Downie upset about having to take a paycut last summer, fired his long-time agent Rick Curran months ago and hired Darren Ferris who is aggressively marketing Downie to other teams. Downie is looking for as much as $2.5 million per season, according to sources, and doesn’t have much of any interest in returning to the Penguins. Downie’ next stop looks to be the Boston Bruins. — Daniel Winnik is unlikely to return, despite some interest from the Penguins. Winnik and his agent Pat Morris have a history of signing late into July. — Those with a small chance of returning are Blake Comeau, Paul Martin and Thomas Greiss. Comeau is the only Penguins forward among their UFA’s that the team held substantive talks and exchanged numbers with, but as of this weekend, there was a sizeable gap and that remains. Comeau is seeking to more than double his salary of $700,000 last season and might get it. Four teams have expressed interest to Comeau’s agent Kurt Overhardt, three believed to be serious. The Devils, Jets are among two of the teams expected to be in the mix for Comeau. The Penguins have expressed an interest in retaining Thomas Greiss, but at a lesser cost than the $1 million he made last season. Greiss and his agent have intended to look around before circling back to the Penguins. The wildcard in the mix is Paul Martin. As of late Monday night, neither the Penguins nor the Martin camp are ruling out a return. Martin who is expected to receive at least 5-6 offers on July 1, likely to sign with a contender and already has a list of three to four teams he intends to sign with. The Penguins remain one of them but Pittsburgh will have to get creative to make it work, as reported Friday night. Martin has options and lots of them. Among the teams believed to have their sights set on Martin: Colorado is pushing hard for Martin, while the two runner ups for Martin in summer of 2010, Los Angeles Kings and New York Islanders, are expected to be among the bidders once again. Some rumblings around the league have the Washington Capitals making a surprise run at Martin and a team near the top of his list, but a source close to the Capitals is downplaying any run at Martin, due to other needs. Anaheim also among the teams that checked in on Martin, while it wouldn’t be a surprise if Boston is among others that makes a play for him. He’s viewed by many contending playoff teams as the perfect piece for their blueline. Expect Martin to leave some money on the table for the right situation. — The reps for defenseman Taylor Chorney have been on the hunt for a 1-way contract or a good situation to potentially play in the NHL next season after Chorney showed some flashes in the playoffs vs the Rangers. He is in talks with the Penguins, though, and a return is possible. — Another UFA in the organization is Conor Sheary, a very intriguing one. The Penguins can’t officially sign Sheary until July 1 and hope to do so. They’ve had good dialogue with his agent Lewis Gross, who is also Marty St. Louis agent, and will make a two year offer (2-way contract) to Sheary. Last year Sheary played on an AHL contract. Sheary has options. Three other teams have shown interest. New Jersey with John Hynes is one of them. Sheary’s in a good situation to pick the best spot that gives him a chance to get to the NHL. RFA OFFERS The Penguins officially made RFA tenders to Beau Bennett, Bobby Farnham and Dominik Uher, Brian Dumoulin and Reid McNeill. Those who weren’t tendered include Adam Payerl, Nick D’Agostino, and Eric Hartzell. All three become unrestricted free agents.	cc/2021-04/en_middle_0015.json.gz/line111

Disruptive technologies are driving a new wave of innovation in the IT space. With the emergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), Big Data, cloud computing and other concurrent new age technologies, the legacy IT companies and teams need to relook at their internal processes and structure. Bank of America, Merrill Lynch predicts that AI will have a $9 trillion impact on knowledge work over the coming decade. The McKinsey Global Institute says AI is driving the transformation of society at a rate of "3,000 times the impact" of the Industrial Revolution. Solidifying these claims, the Forrester report quotes that there was a greater than 300% increase in investment in artificial intelligence in 2017 compared with 2016. Also Read: Bill Gates: Try a career in artificial intelligence, energy or bioscience to make an impact AI is not just a concept anymore, 2017 has seen the practical applications of AI, ML, Big Data in various industries. Therefore, it is imperative that the enterprise IT teams should have a comprehensive understanding of the changing infrastructure and the application landscape in relation to the new age technologies. To be competitive, effective and efficient in the current landscape of digital transformation, they need to be trained and informed on these technologies to make them multi-skilled and for the organisations to be ahead in their game. Also Read: An AI-based Chatbot Is Helping Engineers With New Employment Opportunities The only thing constant is change and to be a frontrunner in this digital era, the organisations and their IT teams need to change, embrace the technologies and implement them in their work process. With the growing expanse and acceptance in technologies like AI, ML and cloud computing; change management should be a critical aspect of any enterprise IT team. The IT teams need to prepare their system and train their staff to administer change and be skilled in implementing and utilising the new age technology. The training will ensure that the transition from the legacy software's to the new age technology is smooth and planned to combat and mitigate any risks or operational challenges. These new technologies can aid the IT teams to ensure continuous availability, seamless user experience and uninterrupted productivity. Implementing the new age technology in the IT framework not only gives an edge to the organisation, it also offers flexibility, scalability and quality in services and helps in optimising cost and resource utilisation. Internally, AI can help the IT teams in the following areas: Reduced call to action: With the availability of Big Data and creation of data lakes, the utilisation of AI can help in reduced call to action time. For instance, Robotic Process Automation(RPA) and Machine Learning can play a big role in IT space by automating redundant and monotonous jobs and utilising the time and effort to enhance the productivity redeploying resources to strategic functions that increase the value and innovation IT can bring to the business. Better decision making and response system: The accuracy of data again empowers enterprise executives to take quick, accurate and data driven decisions. This leads to increased productivity and efficiency. With the introduction and growth in IoT and the massive deployment of sensors, the availability and accessibility of valuable data and information have become easy. AI can act as the organic layer to realise the potential of this data and convert it into knowledge and valuable business insights. Externally, AI can assist IT in following domains Live support: An AI powered chatbot or virtual assistants can enable a 24/7 customer support centre and help the IT team in taking up regular queries thereby helping in better customer engagement and satisfaction. A chatbot with embedded cognitive AI layer and the nature language processing can bring in a more humane interaction where customers can easily relate and build trust.

(Yonhap) SEOUL, Apr. 30 (Korea Bizwire) — Samsung Electronics Co. on Tuesday cautiously expected an uptick in chip demand for high-value products and mobile devices in the second half of the year, after delivering a 60 percent drop in its first-quarter earnings on weak memory chip prices. The South Korean tech giant posted a net profit of 5.04 trillion won (US$4.3 billion) in the January-March period, the lowest since the third quarter of 2016, its regulatory filing showed. Its operating profit dropped 60.1 percent on-year to 6.2 trillion won, and sales slipped 13.5 percent to 52.4 trillion won over the cited period, it said. The figures were in line with its market guidance released earlier this month. The world’s largest memory chip and smartphone maker had warned investors of weaker-than-expected quarterly earnings, citing sluggish memory chip and display sales. “First quarter earnings were weighed down by a slump in memory chips and displays, although the newly launched Galaxy S10 smartphone logged solid sales,” Samsung said in a release. Samsung expected the prices of memory chips to continue to remain downward in the second quarter but anticipated the market conditions to improve in the second half. “For the second half of 2019, the company expects memory chip demand for high-density products to increase but uncertainties in the external environment will persist,” Samsung said. “A further recovery is seen for the display business as demand for flexible screens is set to rise on new smartphone launches.” Shares of Samsung Electronics closed at 45,850 won, down 0.65 percent from the previous session’s close. The semiconductor business slumped due to a fall in memory chip prices as data centers continued to adjust their inventory levels, it said. Samsung is the world’s biggest producer of DRAM and NAND flash chips, and a major smartphone panel supplier for U.S. tech giant Apple Inc., which has suffered tepid sales of iPhones in China. DRAM chip prices, mostly used in computer servers, fell more than 20 percent on average in the first quarter compared with three months earlier as major data centers have been adjusting their high inventory levels of memory chips, market tracker DRAMeXchange said, seeing no rebound in the near term. Prices for NAND memory, which is used in mobile devices for data storage, were also hurt by slowing smartphone demand as more consumers are waiting longer to replace their handsets. Samsung said it reflected one-off costs of replacing some of its faulty DRAM products for server clients in the quarterly report, but the problems were fixed and operations are now back to normal. “There were some quality issues related to 10-nanometer (1x) DRAM products for servers. We fixed the technical problems, and the production is back to normal,” a Samsung official said during a conference call. “We will continue to improve the quality of the nanometer production line in light of this issue.” While Samsung’s mainstay memory chip business is expected to grapple with a price slump in the near team, market watchers see a better pricing environment for chips later this year. “The memory chip prices are likely to bottom out in the coming months as manufacturers are trimming their supplies to deal with a supply glut,” Choi Do-yeong, an analyst at Shinhan Investment Corp., said. “The overall semiconductor market is expected to rebound in the latter half when the inventory level at data centers stabilize and demand for high-density NAND flash chips pick up in the peak season.” Employees of Samsung Electronics Co. walk by a signboard for the Galaxy S10 at its Seoul office on March 27, 2019. (Yonhap) The company said it has been optimizing its fabrication lines to improve efficiency of its production process during the low demand season and help deal with a supply glut in the memory chip market. “While we have routinely carried out the line optimization, it will be held in a larger scale this time, which could lower the production level,” the official said. “The scope of the manufacturing hasn’t been confirmed yet, but we will flexibly decide the production capacity in response to the market conditions.” Samsung’s capital expenditures totaled 4.5 trillion won in the three-month period, with 3.6 trillion won spent on semiconductors. Profitability in the IT and mobile communication division also slumped in the first quarter from a year earlier due to toughening competition in the lower-end segment. Revamping the company’s mass-market lineup also led to a yearly decrease in sales volume of its smartphones, the company noted. Samsung said it sold 78 million smartphones and 5 million tablets in the first quarter, expecting its flagship Galaxy S10 and lower-end Galaxy A series to show robust performance this year. The display panel business suffered a quarterly loss for the first time in three years due to reduced demand for flexible displays and a supply glut in large displays. To improve earnings, Samsung vowed to focus on discovering new applications in laptops and foldable devices to boost demand of its panels in various segments. The system LSI and foundry businesses posted robust performances thanks to smartphone application processors, the “brains” for handsets. Samsung said its earnings from its network business also improved, buoyed by the launch of 5G telecommunication services in South Korea earlier this month. The tech behemoth’s consumer electronics division fared well on the back of increased sales of premium TVs, such as QLED TVs and ultra-large size models, it said. Samsung said it will focus on strengthening leadership in the premium segment ranging from TV and smartphone markets to tackle challenges due to flattening global demand. In regard to the delayed launch of its first foldable phone, initially slated for last week in the United States, Samsung said it is looking into the cause of problems related to its folding screen and plans to announce its schedule in the coming weeks. “We are thoroughly analyzing the issues to find solutions and plan to update the schedule in the next few weeks,” a Samsung official said. “Our conviction and commitment hasn’t changed. We will continue to develop new form factors and actively respond to customers in the market.” As part of efforts to boost sales in the premium market, Samsung said it plans to introduce the Galaxy S10 5G in the U.S. market next month, following its launch in the domestic market earlier this month. It also pledged to step up marketing efforts for its 5G modems and chipsets to expand presence in the emerging wireless market. In the mid to long term, the tech firm vowed to strengthen the competitiveness of key businesses by expanding investment in non-memory and foundry businesses, and developing various applications for autonomous vehicles and artificial intelligence. As part of the broader plan to nurture a new growth engine, Samsung last week announced plans to invest 133 trillion won by 2030 to expand its non-memory and foundry business to take the top spot in the high-tech sector with a strong growth outlook. The latest move comes as Samsung has been actively promoting its latest nanometer fab technology based on extreme ultraviolet lithography (EUV) in hopes of catching up to Taiwan’s TSMC, which holds an over 50 percent share of the global foundry market. According to global research firm Gartner, the value of the non-memory chip market was estimated at $346.6 billion last year — 65 percent of the total — more than twice that of the memory chip sector. Meanwhile, President Moon Jae-in visited Samsung’s fabrication line in Hwaseong, south of Seoul, earlier in the day to meet with Samsung Vice Chairman Lee Jae-yong and other senior officials. Moon pledged government support for the company’s plan to foster new growth drivers in the semiconductor business.

__label__cc	0.650866	0.349134	About Lotus Gemology When you see a fine ruby, it does something to you. It’s not about the value. If it were simply the value, I’d go out and buy a kilo of gold. Richard Hughes to journalist Rod Nordland “On the treacherous trail to the rare ruby red” \| 1982 \| Asia Lotus Gemology begins with a simple idea – beauty is the principal source of attraction for precious stones. Thus it should also be the major focus of gemology. In other words, the GEM is the most important part of gemology. It is our belief that gemology is not simply about counting atoms; to apply science absent a discussion of how it relates to aesthetics and desire does a disservice not just to clients, but to the jewels themselves. We do not believe that attraction can be reduced to a simple set of measurements, anymore than the beauty of a rainbow or sunset can be expressed by mathematical formula. Rest assured, we are not Luddites. We not only appreciate science, but use it daily. At the same time, we recognize that many parts of the human experience extend into realms far beyond science. Thus the gemology at Lotus includes not just science, but weaves into the mix history, culture, art and travel. We do this in the belief that these factors play equal roles in how humans perceive desirability and value. Like a small French restaurant, we believe that crafting a fine meal takes time and individual care; thus our seating is limited. The translation of the intangibles of rarity and aesthetic beauty is our strength. Precious stones are among the most compelling examples of Mother Nature’s artistic genius. Lotus Gemology operates from a base of over 80 years of collective experience in the study, purchase, sale and appreciation of precious stones. Our lives have been enriched beyond measure by our involvement with these gifts of nature and we believe if we characterize them with the appropriate reverence and care, we can open this magical world to others.

Print Catalogs Africa Catalog Latin America & Caribbean Catalog Middle East Catalog Jewish Studies Catalog Al-Narshakhi’s The History of Bukhara Narshakhi, Abu Bakr Muhammad (translated and edited by Richard N. Frye) Al-Narshakhi’s The History of Bukhara is unusual among histories of Middle Eastern cities because it provides a broad and perceptive overview of urban life of the time, as opposed to the standard biographies of religious leaders. Richard Frye’s translation from the Persian presents an engaging, readable narrative that recreates the lively intellectual and commercial life of this vibrant ancient city. In the tenth century, Bukhara was a cultural center that rivaled Baghdad, and was known as “the dome of learning in the East.” It was a dynamic metropolis, capital of the semi-independent dynasty that ruled most of present-day Iran and Central Asia. It was in Bukhara that the so-called Persian Renaissance began, with its far-reaching literary implications. Al-Narshakhi portrays not only rulers, but also everyday life in cities and villages. This primary source affords insights into life in Eastern Iran and Central Asia during a period of change in the Islamic world. Abu Bakr Muhammad ibn al-Narshakhi of Bukhara, author, wrote the history of his city and presented it to the Samanid ruler Nuh ibn Nasr in 943 C.E. (A.H. 332). This is the only book he is known to have written. Richard N. Frye, editor and translator, is a professor emeritus at Harvard University. He is the author of Ibn Fadlan’s Journey to Russia, The Heritage of Central Asia (also available from Markus Wiener) and numerous other books, which have been translated into several languages.

Nies "Justice is the firm and continuous desire to render to everyone that which is due..." Van Riper & Nies relies on hard work, open communication, and trust in bringing justice to their clients... Van Riper & Nies Attorneys, P.A., a Martin County military veteran-owned law firm, represents individuals and families who have suffered an injury, or lost loved ones, due to the carelessness or reckless of others. Van Riper & Nies is an experienced and unique plaintiff's law firm. Attorney, Timothy Nies, is a military veteran and a proud lifetime member of the Disabled American Veterans (DAV). When serving as an Airborne Ranger with the Army's elite special forces unit, the 75th Ranger Regiment in Fort Benning, GA, he sustained a knee injury during a parachute mission. Timothy had to work hard to rehabilitate his knee; however, the injury nevertheless caused his departure from the Rangers. Tim, more than the majority of plaintiffs' attorneys, understands how it feels to suffer from and ultimately overcome a career-changing injury, and relates to his clients. Tim considers himself fortunate as the U.S. Army had excellent surgeons and glad the Veterans Administration was there to help him get back on his feet after the service, together with the help of the GI Bill. Because Tim was provided with excellent care, he was able to regain use of his knee. Sadly, others without the support of the military and the VA, are not so fortunate, and oftentimes face significant hurdles in obtaining medical care and vocational rehabilitation after a serious injury. After his military service, Tim began commenced his career by defending personal injury cases for insurance companies and large corporations, including Fortune 500 companies. He was a senior Casualty Attorney for Marshall Dennehey, the largest, and arguably, the most respected insurance defense law firm in the U.S. Here, Tim polished his skills as a trial attorney and where he learned how insurance companies evaluate and litigate personal injury cases. Our attorney, Christian Van Riper, was selected out of Stetson University College of Law to serve as a Law Clerk for the Florida Supreme Court. Very few attorneys each year are honored with such recognition. Here, he worked with the highest judges in the State on criminal and civil matters. After serving a Supreme Court Law Clerk, Christian began his legal career as a an assistant state attorney, where he prosecuted countless serious felony cases, such as drug trafficking and homicide, for the State of Florida. As a prosecutor, Christian developed and honed his jury trial skills, which benefits him today when representing seriously injured clients.

Jong Hyun Kim \| Anadolu Agency \| Getty Images 7:43 am: Dow caps worst week for Wall Street since the financial crisis Stocks tumbled once again on Friday, capping off their worst week since the financial crisis, as worries over the coronavirus and its impact on the economy continue to rattle investor sentiment. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 357.28 points, or more than 1%, to 25,409.36. The 30-stock Dow briefly fell more than 1,000 points then rallied into the close in a wild trading session characteristic of the week. The S&P 500 slid 0.8% to 2,954.22. The Nasdaq Composite closed flat at 8,567.37 but fell as much as 3.5% on the day. For the week, the Dow fell more than 12% — its biggest weekly percentage loss since 2008. On a points basis, the Dow fell more than 3,500 points, far and away its largest weekly point loss ever. It also ended the week in correction territory, down 14.1% from an intraday record high set Feb. 12. —Imbert, Huang 6:45 am: United Airlines postpones investor day has decided to postpone its investor day which was scheduled for next week given the uncertainty the coronavirus outbreak has created on booking and revenue projections. Earlier this week United pulled its 2020 guidance to the uncertainty created by Coronavirus. United shares were down Friday as airlines continued their sharp declines of the week as worries of a demand rattles investors. United also cut its Asia service amid a sharp drop in demand to the region. —LeBeau 6:30 am: US State Department raises Italy travel advisory to Level 3, stating ‘reconsider travel’ The State Department on Friday asked citizens to “reconsider travel to Italy” due to the coronavirus outbreak. “Many cases of COVID-19 have been associated with travel to or from mainland China or close contact with a travel-related case, but sustained community spread has been reported in Italy,’ the State Department advisory said. “Sustained community spread means that people have been infected with the virus, but how or where they became infected is not known, and the spread is ongoing. At this time, CDC recommends avoiding non-essential travel to Italy.” —Bhattacharjee 6:19 am: Santa Clara County health officials confirm new coronavirus case, 10th in California The Santa Clara Public Health Department announced a third case of coronavirus in the county, which brings the total number of coronavirus cases in California to 10 and the total number of cases in the U.S. to 63, most of which are passengers of the Diamond Princess cruise ship and evacuees from Wuhan, China. County Officials will hold a press conference at 7 p.m. ET to discuss more details. The county said this case is different from the other two since the patient, an elderly woman, doesn’t have a travel history or any known contact with a traveler or infected person. ”This new case indicates that there is evidence of community transmission but the extent is still not clear,” said Dr. Sara Cody, Health Officer for Santa Clara County and Director of the County of Santa Clara Public Health Department. “I understand this may be concerning to hear, but this is what we have been preparing for. Now we need to start taking additional actions to slow down the spread of the disease.” —Bhattacharjee 6:05 am: Corona beer sales have NOT taken a hit from virus fears In any virus outbreak, there is sure to be plenty of misinformation that circulates, but it usually isn’t about beer. Constellation Brands, which sells Corona Extra beer, put out a press release Friday that said any worries about its beer sales are “unfounded.” In fact, the brand’s sales are up 5% for the four weeks ended Feb. 16, outpacing its trend over the past year. Earlier, ad agency 5WPR said it polled 737 people over the phone and found 16% were confused about whether Corona beer was some somehow related to the novel coronavirus. “We’ve seen no impact to our people, facilities or operations and our business continues to perform very well,” the company said, adding it doesn’t have much exposure to international markets. —Cheddar Berk Read CNBC’s coverage from CNBC’S U.S. team overnight here: Fears fuel sell-off, new California case, United postpones investor day. — CNBC’s Fred Imbert, Eustance Huang, Phil LeBeau, Riya Bhattacharjee, Christina Cheddar-Berk, Berkeley Lovelace Jr., William Feuer, Noah Higgins-Dunn and Reuters contributed to this report.	cc/2021-04/en_middle_0015.json.gz/line157
__label__cc	0.706182	0.293818	phoebejournal\| August 13, 2020\| IWP On Writing Our Way Out: Memoirs from Jail by David Coogan Reviewed by Sarah Wilson In a time of rejuvenated discourse on racial inequality and criminal justice reform, it seemed appropriate to revisit David Coogan’s 2016 memoir, Writing Our Way Out: Memoirs from Jail. Billed as a memoir about Coogan’s experience teaching writing to prisoners, it is really a collective of stories and reflections by incarcerated men, tied together by classroom narratives. David Coogan is a professor of English and rhetoric at Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU). He founded Open Minds, a program that enables VCU students and inmates at the Richmond City Jail to participate in humanities courses together—“to journey toward a new understanding of their shared humanity.” It was my own experience with the Open Minds program that first drew me to this memoir. I had returned to VCU to complete the undergraduate degree I’d left incomplete in order to pursue a career in professional drinking. The drinking career didn’t work out, so I thought it best to return to school. Dave’s class opened up for me a new mindset about the creative power of nonfiction. The men I met on the sixth floor of the Richmond City Jail wrote beautifully, honestly, and without any inhibition. Dave founded Open Minds in 2010 and I participated in the program in 2016. At that time, Dave’s ability to incorporate lessons of rhetoric, social justice, and creative writing workshops into a fairly rowdy classroom seemed effortless. Writing Our Way Out: Memoirs from Jail is the story before the story. Dave Coogan acknowledges the obstacles of his own privilege as he navigated the new confines of the Richmond City Jail. Coogan, threads his experience creating a writing classroom through essays written by the men he taught. Their relationships and dynamics becoming visible in Coogan’s narrative often juxtapose the personal narratives written about the men’s lives prior to incarceration. Sometimes striking is Coogan’s seemingly never-ending optimism—his belief that writing can and will save these men, if only they would let it. This idealism is smashed by the narratives of Kelvin, Karl, Stanley, Nani…hell, all of the incarcerated men. They are the grounding force of the memoir that truly makes it palatable. They are the realists who do not expect writing to save them from themselves, but to instead give them an agency of expression. This memoirs dives past the healing power of narrative writing and the idealism of a young white professor hoping to make a difference in the lives of predominantly black inmates. If that’s all this memoir was, I would skip it and watch Michelle Pfeiffer in Dangerous Minds. Happily, Coogan is able to navigate past the role of the white savior. He is able to step aside and allow his students voices to be the predominant force of the book. The essays do not feel curated, though they often adhere to many of the same themes—race, inequity, desperation, hope, redemption. Unique to this prison memoir is the inclusion of the writing and publication process. This process lives up to be just as engaging as the woven narratives and reflections of how these men ended up incarcerated. By illuminating the writing process, the reader is able to further understand why these stories need to be told. Coogan views his classroom as “that exhilarating experience of inquiry and discovery.” More than a memoir about prisoners, this is a story of ten men and their instructor learning about and from their shared experiences. Each man delivers a story of profound change and enlightenment. Furthermore, Coogan was able to create a narrative that highlights the change that can come from allowing those who have been silenced to speak.

__label__wiki	0.603095	0.603095	Improved Vertically-Aligned Nematic Mode for High Performance Displays DOI : 10.3807/JOSK.2014.18.6.783 Author: Jhun Chul Gyu, Gwag Jin Seog Publish: Journal of the Optical Society of Korea Volume 18, Issue6, p783~787, 25 Dec 2014 This paper presents an improved vertical alignment nematic liquid crystal mode characterized by the protrusions or slits of the top substrate and additional stripe type common electrodes with polarity switching of the bottom substrate to improve multi-domain vertically aligned (MVA) and patterned vertically aligned (PVA) nematic modes. MVA and PVA modes have disadvantages such as an LC disclination in the vicinity of the middle region of electrodes between the top and bottom protrusions in MVA mode or the top and bottom slits in PVA mode. Therefore, the stripe type common electrode generating a horizontal electric field and the protrusion or slit producing some pretilt of liquid crystals (LCs) were used to improve the LC disclination, which influences the transmittance and response speed. The simulation results showed that the proposed VA mode has higher transmittance than the MVA and PVA modes. As a result, the proposed VA mode can improve the response speed and transmittance remarkably, which makes it useful for upgrading the LCD display quality. Multi-domain VA LCD mode , PVA LCD mode , High transmittance , Fast response time Liquid crystal displays (LCDs) are a non-emissive type display that modifies the polarization of input light coming from a backlight unit by controlling electrically the retardation of liquid crystals. Many liquid crystal modes adopted in the initial stages of liquid crystal displays (LCDs) have disappeared from the display market due to customer demands for higher image quality. Only LC modes with excellent electro-optical properties, e.g., vertical alignment (VA) type nematic modes [1-3], in-plane switching (IPS) mode [4], fringe field switching (FFS) mode [5], twisted nematic mode (TN) [6], and optically-compensated bend (OCB) mode [7-9], have survived in various display applications. Among the LCD modes, VA-type LCD modes, e.g., multi-domain vertical alignment (MVA) and patterned vertical alignment (PVA) nematic modes, have several merits, such as rubbing free process, wide viewing angle, low driving voltage, and high contrast ratio in the normal direction. Therefore, VA-type modes have been investigated by many engineers and scientists and used widely in larger sized displays, such as TVs. On the other hand, they also have demerits, such as slow rising speed and low transmittance, due to the disclination of LC molecules driven from direction matching between the electric field direction and initial LC alignment in the vicinity of the middle region of electrodes, leading to an almost vertical field [1]. To solve these issues, i.e., to eliminate the disclination and improve the rising speed, Kim et al. presented a polymer stabilized PVA (PS-PVA) mode using a reactive mesogen (RM)-doped LC-mixture to produce the proper pretilt of LCs in pixels [10]. In this case, the pretilt was produced from fixation of surface LCs due to the solidification of RM huddled on the surface by UV exposure under an appropriate proper electric field, which gives some slope to the surface LCs. Lee et al. presented a surface controlled patterned vertical alignment (SC-PVA) mode using a reactive mesogen (RM)-doped polyimide-mixture (instead of LC) to produce LCs with a proper pretilt in pixels [11]. The pretilt and azimuthal angles are produced on the LC alignment layer by the polymerization of a doped RM monomer through UV exposure under an appropriate electric field. On the other hand, these LC alignment techniques may lead to degradation of the image quality in terms of long-term stability because the RM can act as an impurity and require an additional process, which drives up the fabrication cost. In addition, the generation of an initial pretilt in VA type mode produces dark leakage, which reduces the contrast ratio (CR). This paper proposes an improved vertical alignment nematic mode with the protrusions of the top substrate and stripe type common electrodes with polarity switching of the bottom substrate to improve the MVA and PVA nematic modes, which have demerits, such as an LC disclination in the vicinity of the middle region of the electrodes between the top and bottom protrusions in MVA mode or top and bottom slits in PVA mode. Here, the stripe type common electrode and the protrusion or the slit will play important roles in preventing LC disclination. Therefore, the proposed VA mode will have higher transmittance than the MVA and PVA modes. As a result, the proposed VA mode can improve the response speed and transmittance remarkably. II. PIXEL CONFIGURATION Figure 1 (a) and (b) present schematic diagrams of the LC director behaviors under an electric field by the common electrode and the pixel electrode in the cell structure of the conventional MVA and PVA modes, respectively. As indicated in Fig. 1 (a) and (b), the LC directors in the black circle region between the top protrusion (or slit) and bottom protrusion (or slit) exhibit disclination behavior because the electric field at the region is almost vertical. In a more detailed description, vertically aligned negative LCs show random azimuthally laying directions because of the vertical electric field coincident with the long axis of LC at this region. Therefore, LCs experience transient disclination formation until propagated to the LCs of the middle region (the black circle region) from the LCs in the vicinity of the protrusion (or slit). Because of this, the response speeds of the MVA and PVA modes are slow at the rising time. High transmittance can be obtained if the distance between the top and the bottom protrusions (or slits) is widened. On the other hand, the response speed is slower because the time of propagation to the LCs of middle region from LCs of the protrusion (or slit) is longer. Eventually, the distance cannot be widened and the transmittance cannot be enhanced in conventional MVA and PVA configurations. [FIG. 1.] Cell structures of the typical MVA mode (a) and PVA mode (b). The schematic diagram shows the formation of LC disclination due to the vertical electric field in the middle region between the top protrusion (or slit) and bottom protrusion (or slit). To increase the transmittance in the VA LC structure, this paper proposes a new electrode structure and its switching method. Figure 2 shows a schematic diagram of the unit LC cell in the proposed VA configuration. The purpose of this configuration is to tilt the vertical electric field slightly between the bottom pixel electrode and the top common electrode so that the LCs of the middle region can lie down instantly according to the tilted field. [FIG. 2.] Schematic diagram of the unit LC cell structure of the proposed VA mode. In a detailed description of the proposed VA structure, wholly indium-tin-oxide (ITO) coated electrodes were positioned on both glass substrates. The entire area-ITO coated electrode on the top substrate was used as the common electrode, and the protrusions in Fig. 2 (a) and the slits in Fig. 2 (b) were produced by an etching process. The polyimide (PI) for homeotropic LC alignment was placed on the electrodes. For the bottom substrate, the entire area-ITO coated electrode on the bottom substrate was used as the pixel electrode connected with a thin film transistor (TFT). The passivation layer (insulator) was deposited on top to prevent electrical short between the pixel electrode (TFT-electrode) and the stripe type common electrode. In the operation of this electrode structure, the potential difference between the pixel electrode (VP) and the common electrode (Vcom) induces a vertical electric field, whereas the electrical potential difference between the pixel electrode and the stripe type common electrode (V1) leads to a horizontal electric field. The electrical potential difference between the common electrode and stripe common electrode generates a tilted electric field, albeit a weak field, and the tilt differs according to the position. Consequently, mixing of the vertical electric field and the horizontal field produces a tilted electric field preventing LC disclination formation, even in the middle region between the protrusion or slit and the stripe type common electrode. This is the concept for enhancing the transmittance of the VA mode. In a switching skill, constant voltage was applied to the common electrode. On the other hand, the electric polarity of the stripe type common electrode should be changed every frame, even though the magnitude of applied voltage is constant. In addition, an apposite polarity to the polarity of pixel electrode is always needed to maintain the same electric field direction within an LC domain. III. CALCULATED RESULTS A commercial LCD simulator from Techwiz LCD was used to examine numerically the electro-optics of the proposed VA mode. The LC material and cell thickness used for the simulation were MLC-6610 (Merck), which has Δn=0.09 (Δε=−3.1) and 3.4 μm, respectively. Figure 3 presents the transmittance according to the position of the pixel when 8 V is applied to the pixel electrode in conventional PVA (or MVA) mode. As shown in fig. 3, the transmittance of the PVA mode is not high because the transmittance always decreases at each slit region. In addition, the vertical electric field of the center region between the top and bottom slits confuses the vertically aligned LCs on the decision of the azimuthally lying direction, called the disclination formation of LCs. Here, the calculated angular value of the electric field was 89.2° in the middle region. Therefore, the response speed of the MVA or PVA modes is reduced. In addition, an expansion of the distance between the slits was performed to increase the transmittance. On the other hand, its expansion aggravates the disclination formation of the LCs to the wider region and the response speed is slower. Here, the distance between slits was 30 μm and the width of the slit was 10 μm. [FIG. 3.] LC director behavior and transmittance according to the region under 8 V of PVA mode with an electrode structure of 10 μm (the width of the slit): 30 μm (the distance between the top slit and the bottom slit). Subsequently, the proposed VA mode was simulated as an electrode structure shown in Fig. 2. In the simulation, the constant voltages to the common electrode and the stripe type common electrode were 0 V and 1.5 V (−1.5 V), respectively, to induce a horizontal electric field in the pixel. Here, 1.5 V (−1.5 V) is below the threshold voltage of MLC-6610. The voltage VP of the pixel electrode connected to the TFT was varied to 8 V from 0 V. The horizontal fields between the pixel and the stripe type common electrodes and between the common and the stripe type common electrodes prevent the formation of LC disclination due to matching of the LC direction and the vertical field between the pixel and common electrodes. Owing to this horizontal field, the proposed VA mode can expand the distance between the slits, unlike the MVA and PVA modes. Therefore, in this simulation, the distance between the slits was expanded to 40 μm. Figure 4 shows the LC director behavior, equipotential and transmittance according to the position in the pixel under the electric field of the proposed VA mode. As expected, the equipotential lines were not flat when VP is 8 V. Here, the calculated angular value of the electric field was 87.7° in the middle region due to the horizontal field. This means that the vertical field generating no azimuthal preference direction of LCs is tilted slightly in between the slits, even though the distance between the slits is 40 μm, which is wider than that of typical MVA or PVA modes with 30 μm. As a result, the proposed VA mode can lead to a faster response speed than the PVA mode. Therefore, the distance between the slits can be increased, which will increase the transmittance. [FIG. 4.] LC director behavior and transmittance according to the region under 8 V of the proposed VA mode with electrode structure of 5 μm (the width of the slit): 40 μm (the distance between the top slit and the bottom slit). Figure 5 compares the voltage-transmittance curves of the proposed mode with the electrode structure of 5 μm (the width of the slit): 40 μm (the distance between the top slit and the bottom slit) with those of the typical PVA mode with 10 μm (the width of the slit): 30 μm (the distance between the top slit and the bottom slit). As expected, the transmittance increased slightly with increasing distance between the slits. As a result, the proposed structure showed higher transmittance than the typical PVA mode. The transmittance of VA mode was enhanced by 8.5 % compared to the PVA mode. [FIG. 5.] Comparison of the voltage-transmittance curves of the proposed VA mode with an electrode structures of 40 μm : 5 μm with the typical PVA mode with an electrode structure of 30 μm : 10 μm. Finally, to determine if the response speed of the proposed VA mode is faster than that of the conventional PVA mode, the response time of the proposed VA was compared with that of the conventional PVA through a simulation, even though the absolute value of response time at the used simulator is not known. As a simulated result, the response speed of the proposed VA mode with an electrode structure of 5 μm : 40 μm was 1.3 times faster than that of the conventional PVA mode with the same electrode dimension and 1.1 times faster than that of the conventional PVA mode with an electrode structure of 10 μm : 30 μm. Consequently, the proposed VA mode in the response time remains intact despite the wider distance between the top and bottom slits to obtain higher transmittance. IV. CONCLUSIONS This paper presented, as an improved vertical alignment nematic liquid crystal mode, a new vertically aligned nematic mode with the protrusions or the slits of the top substrate and stripe type common electrodes of the bottom substrate. The proposed VA mode had enhanced characteristics compared to the MVA and the PVA nematic modes with a LC disclination in the vicinity of the middle region of the electrodes between the top and bottom protrusions in the MVA mode or the top and bottom slits in PVA mode. The LC disclination was improved using the stripe type common electrode generating a horizontal electric field and the protrusions producing some pretilt of the liquid crystals (LCs). The simulations showed that the proposed VA mode had higher transmittance than the MVA and the PVA modes. Consequently, the proposed VA mode can improve the response speed and transmittance, and it is useful for upgrading the LCD display quality. 1. Kim K. H., Lee K., Park S. B., Song J. K., Souk J.

Additional resources for A History of Irish Ballet from 1927 to 1963 These touring companies performed on the stages of the Gaiety, the Olympia, the Queen’s and the Theatre Royal. While Anna Pavlova and her company performed at the Gaiety Theatre in January 1912, it was not until the mid-1930s that ballet companies made Dublin a regular touring venue. Despite the fact that Dublin had little prior exposure to ballet during the first quarter of the century, there were several important factors which were to have a positive inf luence on the success of the Abbey School of Ballet. These activities trailed of f in the early 1930s. By 1931, it seems that de Valois’ work in England began to overshadow the Abbey Theatre School of Ballet. As well as her choreography in the plays, operas and ballets given at the Old Vic, de Valois had also founded a dance school at the newly opened Sadler’s Wells Theatre. Like the Old Vic, this theatre was under the direction of Lilian Baylis. In 1931 the Abbey Theatre began to experience severe financial dif ficulties. The Abbey’s first company was sent on a tour of America, and a series of Sunday performances called ‘Mainly Ballet: The Abbey Directors’ Sunday Entertainments’ was organised to keep the theatre active. The six years also saw an important succession of collaborations with musicians, designers, actors, directors and writers, involving the dance school’s productions at the Abbey Theatre and at other companies and venues in Dublin and the Opera House in Cork. The compositions for Yeats’s dance dramas and the scores for The Faun, When Philida Flouts Him, Bluebeard and The Drinking Horn were all composed or arranged specifically for the dance productions. De Valois’ work with the Abbey (and in particular with Yeats’s Plays for Dancers, where she had to work with players unused to movement in the dancing sense) developed her understanding of the interdependence of the arts and was the catalyst that seemed to crystallise her attitude to dance and the theatre.

The owners were Ted Wilcox Henderson (age 41), Judi Henderson (wife, age 36) and Tracy Henderson (daughter, age 6). On the morning of June 15th (about 8 days after picture was taken) neighbors called the local police, complaining of screams and the sounds of gunfire. Sheriff Clint Denterman (age 54) and two deputies, Dan Parks (age 24) and Chris Fines (age 33) came to the farm at 8:34 am. The horses in the barn were torn apart, almost as if attacked by wild animals. Inside the main house, reports said that there was blood all over the living room, kitchen, and hallway. Ted was found in the bedroom, barricaded behind some furniture. Next to him was the body of his wife, killed by a shotgun blast to the chest. Ted still had the weapon in his hands. From Dan Parks’ report: “Ted had a freaked out, far off look in his eyes. He seemed to not realize that we were in the room. We asked what happened. Where was his daughter. But he didn’t answer.” Ted was charged with the murder of his wife. Due to his mental state he was sent to Jenkins Mental Hospital. For almost a year and a half Ted did not speak. On the 3rd anniversary of the murder, Dr. Dauton called the Sheriff. Ted was speaking. From the recording of Dr. Dauton, June 15th, 1956 8:30PM: DAUTON: Okay, Ted… go ahead. TED: (almost out of breath) It’s on? Am I safe? DAUTON: Yes, you are safe. Now tell me what happened that night. TED: The horses…. horses actin’ up… the horses… DAUTON: Go on. TED: W…went out there… dead… all dead… the eyes… no… no eyes. DAUTON: What did you see? TED: Ran… ran inside… got gun… Tracy crying… Judi screaming… r…ran to them… He had them… was holding them… DAUTON: Who had them? TED: Skinny fella… suit… looking at me… Judi screaming… shoot me… SHOOT ME, SHOOT ME! (Ted starts screaming for a period, then slams hands onto table) DAUTON: You shot Judi? TED: Saved her… saved her… DAUTON: Did you shoot Tracy? TED: No… it went after me… they went after me… shot them… shot them… keep shooting… Tracy… let Tracy go… damn it, LET HER GO! (Ted started to have a yelling fit, suddenly slamming his face into the steel table. Two orderlies grabbed Ted and Dr. Dauton injected him with some tranquilizers.) END OF TAPE Ted Henderson was found dead in his room at 3:00AM on June 16th. Ted was somehow able to get out of his restraints and chew through his wrist, bleeding to death. The picture was studied several times. The experts agree that the man in the suit may be the one that Ted was saying attacked his farm and stole his child. Tracy Henderson was never found. BooDoug187 on Something Awful (Original Mythos) At the permission of Faye Dauton, the doctor’s daughter, the recording of the interview with Mr. Henderson was released.

He has made a name for himself as far north as the Grasslands, and as far south as Falena. As a young soldier, his left eye was nearly put out due to carelessness on his part during a battle, only to be saved by his friend Ferid Egan. He then made a promise to help Ferid with whatever he needed. To remind himself of his mistake (and to not repeat it), he wore an eyepatch for many years over the same eye. In the Scarlet Moon Empire, Georg was recruited to be one of Barbarossa Rugner's Six Great Generals, and served in the Succession War. Here he was known as 'Deathblow Georg' for his immense strength and skill in battle and was understood to be the greatest swordsman among the Six Generals. Georg soon left the Scarlet Moon Empire, and, details unforthcoming, became the leader of the Ebony Moon Knights. This only lasted a short spell, however. Georg travelled with Ferid to Falena, where he served as a Queen's Knight, and became good friends with the royal family. His true purpose there, however, was to do a favor for Ferid that he believed nobody else would be capable of doing. It was feared that Queen Arshtat could be completely taken over by the Sun Rune, and lose all connections to sanity. Georg's job in that case, would be to kill Arshtat and prevent the Sun Rune from destroying Falena. He got the chance to live up to that promise in IS 449, when Arshtat was finally driven completely mad by the Sun Rune, and killed Ferid. Fulfilling his duty, he received his second one from the dying Arshtat - take care of her children. Georg does so, helping the Prince regain territory and going on various low-profile and reconaissance missions, hoping to officially distance himself from the Prince his cause wouldn't be tarnished by association with the man who murdered the Queen, but still help the Prince as much as possible. As the war nears completion, he comes more to the forefront of battles, but fulfilling his duty, he left the country following the war. He travelled back to the Northern Continent.

__label__wiki	0.960865	0.960865	Guthrie facility worker charged with raping institutionalized patients Published: Tue, May 15, 2012 12:00 AM Gerald Williams “Butch” Perry Jr. GUTHRIE — A maintenance worker at a Logan County home for people with mental disabilities is accused of raping five female patients, court records show. Gerald Williams “Butch” Perry Jr., 60, of Guthrie, has been charged with first-degree rape, three counts of forcible oral sodomy and rape by instrumentation. All of the victims were institutionalized and adjudicated mentally deficient. One of the victims is noncommunicative, and the other four are functioning mentally at a middle-school level, according to a court affidavit. Officials said Perry has worked at the Westview Living Center, 1900 W Harrison Ave., since February 2008. The victims told officials the incidents occurred on various times and dates since his employment in 2008. Facility officials did not return a phone call Monday, seeking comment. Reports of rape were brought to the staff's attention May 6 when a patient told a staff member that Perry had touched her inappropriately. The woman said Perry had sex with her the night before in her room. She said Perry came into her room to paint her closet and installed a lock on her door. The two had sex and the victim said Perry made her perform oral sex on him, according to the affidavit. Officials suspended Perry and began an investigation May 6. They collected evidence from the woman's room, including her bed sheet and a sleeping bag. Four other women came forward during the investigation and said Perry had touched them or received oral sex from them. The victim with the highest functioning mental state said Perry touched her breasts and had her perform oral sex on him. She said this happened “a whole lot more,” according to an affidavit. She told officials she was afraid Perry would get angry at her if she told him she did not want to do the things he wanted. The woman said Perry came into her room May 5 after she received her medicine about 9 a.m. She said he put a lock on the door and locked it while he was in the room with her having sexual intercourse. Afterward, she said Perry removed the lock and moved his supplies to the next room. A staff member told officials that she recalls hearing Perry talk about going into the woman's room to put a lock on the door while he was painting to keep his supplies safe. Another victim said Perry placed a chair under her door knob, told her to be quiet and then took her clothes off. She said sometimes Perry would give her $5 or $10 and told her not to tell anyone. According to the affidavit, the woman said Perry would bring the noncommunicative victim into her room and make her watch the other woman give him oral sex. Perry is being held in the Logan County jail with bail set at $250,000.	cc/2021-04/en_middle_0015.json.gz/line201

__label__cc	0.63135	0.36865	Posts tagged with “BET Awards” Channel Surfing – May 13 Posted May 13th, 2009 by Kim All the tube news that’s fit to surf … – The year’s biggest American Idol shocker could turn out to be that Kris Allen earned himself a spot in the final two with his memorable spin on Kanye West‘s “Heartless” on last night’s Idol. – Jim Krasinski says to expect a cool Jim/Pam story in Thursday night’s fifth-season finale of The Office. – Discovery Channel is planning a high-def sequel to its incredible Planet Earth series, called Wild Planet: North America. – Mark Valley, who’s gotten lost in the shuffle on shows like Boston Legal and Fringe after his terrific, but cancelled-too-soon dramedy Keen Eddie, may finally have landed another great series. Fox is reportedly moving forward with Human, based on a DC Comic, in which Valley stars as Christopher Chance, a guy who offers security for hire services by assuming the identities of people in danger (i.e. he becomes the “target” for them). Jackie Earle Haley and Chi McBride are also among the cool cast. – Alanis Morissette will play Nancy’s (Mary-Louise Parker) baby doctor when Weeds begins its fifth season on June 8. – Chad Michael Murray and Hilarie Burton will not be returning to One Tree Hill next season, as has been the rumor for months. – Guess who thinks there should be a Creed-centric episode of The Office? Creed. I totally agree. – Like Rodney Dangerfield, Tony Danza is going back to school. Danza, who admits that “nobody’s knocking down (his) door for acting jobs,” will teach 10th grade English in a New York City school, and film the whole experience for an A&E reality series. That’s one of the more interesting, and least sleazy, reality show ideas to pop up in quite a while. – A&E is all about the celebreality genre next season, in fact, with other new shows on the horizon from Shaq, Bob Saget, MC Hammer and Steven Seagal, while most of the network’s other new shows fall into the crime drama category. The best news: Parking Wars will be back for another season. – Jamie Foxx will host the BET Awards on June 28 in Los Angeles, with performances by Ne-Yo and Maxwell. – Starz has given Party Down, an underrated comedy that you should be watching, a second-season pick-up. – And Paulina Porizkova explained her firing from America’s Next Top Model to Craig Ferguson last night.

__label__wiki	0.670512	0.670512	The Linux Foundation’s Staff Uses Windows and Microsoft. Now the Foundation Outsources the Coding and Hosting, Too (to Microsoft of Course). Posted in Deception, GNU/Linux, Microsoft, Windows at 4:16 am by Dr. Roy Schestowitz Who needs Git (a Linus Torvalds project) when there’s proprietary Microsoft GitHub? Source: Microsoft, via Summary: The disturbing turns of the self-described “Linux” Foundation, which seems to be promoting proprietary software and even Microsoft rather than Linux and Free/Open Source software while the role or capacity of Torvalds is being gradually diminished THE Linux Foundation is sadly becoming a bridge to Microsoft, not to Linux. That’s like the Russian military hosting on AWS or GNU projects using Visual Studio. Projects that have nothing whatsoever to do with Linux, the kernel, are being ‘gifted’ to Microsoft. The following new (hours-old) press releases with our comments added hopefully sum things up (these are consortia that involve surveillance firms, including Palantir with its notorious, racist agenda): The Linux Foundation’s Artificial Intelligence Community Announces New Acumos Release Focused on Creation of AI/ML Models [Ed: The "Linux" Foundation calls itself "collaboration platform" (or similar), but this new one shows that it's just outsourcing all this collaboration to Microsoft in GitHub (no kidding). The "Linux" Foundation pays a lot of money (salaries) to the father of Git, yet it cannot host its own Git instances and instead outsources it to Microsoft proprietary software, a centralised surveillance platform called GitHub?] The LF AI Foundation, the organization building an open AI community to drive open source innovation in artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL), today announced the new release of Acumos code named Boreas. This latest release of the open source framework and marketplace will enable the creation, training and license verification of AI, ML and DL models and apps, among other benefits to the community of developers and data scientists. The Linux Foundation Will Host the Federated AI Enabler to Responsibly Advance Data Modeling [Ed: Original posted here, in tandem, by Craig Ross, not a familiar name (maybe external PR). This project is on GitHub (advertised in massive fonts on the front page). Yet another new example of the “Linux” Foundation outsourcing everything to Microsoft. Takeover complete? Only days ago the Linux Foundation announced its new Vice Chair, Wim Coekaerts, who had worked for Microsoft.] KubeCon + CloudNativeCon – The Linux Foundation, the nonprofit organization enabling mass innovation through open source, today announced it will host the FATE (Federated AI Technology Enabler). It is a federated learning framework that fosters collaboration across companies and institutes to perform AI model training and inference in accordance with user privacy, data confidentiality and government regulations. 4Paradigm, CETC Big Data Research Institute, Clustar, JD Intelligent Cities Research, Squirrel AI Learning, Tencent and WeBank are among the first organizations committed to the new Foundation. I’m at a loss for words. It’s all happening so fast. Those who know how E.E.E. works (and have seen many examples of it over the years) cannot simply ignore/dismiss all the evidence. Should we all sit aside until it’s too late? To avoid offending the culprits? Some of the above sites, we should also note, give the visitors empty pages unless one enables JavaScript (e.g. https://www.fedai.org/) and it’s a sign of unsavory design that encourages surveillance (https://www.fedai.org/ has malware in it, there’s Google Analytics watching your every move). “If Torvalds was to step down, we know who would take his place (the interim maintainer while he was away). He used to work on Microsoft projects and put Microsoft code inside Linux when Novell was his boss (and in turn bossed by Microsoft).”The staff of the Foundation hardly uses GNU/Linux. Some of them, who contacted me in the past, used Microsoft. Jim Zemlin uses Apple. How many people in the management of the “Linux” Foundation actually use GNU/Linux? Same question for the Board… I reckon very few of these people care about GNU/Linux and/or have used it, based on what I know about some of them. The Linux Foundation is not about Linux; it is more about keeping GNU/Linux under corporate control than about spreading it. Today, June 25th, marks 2 months since the “Linux” Foundation effectively sacked all Linux.com staff (even the editors). No original work has been published there since (only a few links to the Linux Foundation’s site, e.g. the one about Wim Coekaerts). In our daily links we’ve meanwhile included the following link as well: Old Linus Torvalds is back: Linux page caching sparks ‘bullst’ outburst [Ed: Anti-Linux writers of the CBS tech tabloid ZDNet are mobbing Torvalds into silence again] What has the Linux Foundation become? It protects Microsoft from its critics (saying that it’s “like kicking a puppy” while Microsoft staff 'greases' things up) and it’s slamming Torvalds — who stepped down temporarily — for exercising free speech and carrying out quality control, which may mean rejecting code that is like cow’s feces (‘bullst’) and yet repeatedly being pushed onto Torvalds, whose tone understandably escalates over time, seeing that polite messages aren’t getting across effectively enough. Are they trying to just weaken him as boss of his own project? If Torvalds was to step down, we know who would take his place (the interim maintainer while he was away). He used to work on Microsoft projects and put Microsoft code inside Linux when Novell was his boss (and in turn bossed by Microsoft). So far everyone we’ve heard from shares our concerns on these matters. Everyone. Few are however willing to speak about it. No news site touched the subject. It’s all PR. And speaking of PR, watch what Slashdot published 3 days ago under the modified headline “How OIN’s Linux-Based Patent Non-Aggression Community Drove Open Source Growth” (it links to ZDNet). “We expect things to get yet worse over time because the Foundation isn’t communicating any of these issues. It never airs these concerns and it hasn’t even said a thing about Linux.com being effectively disbanded.”This headline is nonsense (yet it was promoted by OIN staff in Twitter); in fact it’s a promotional lie. The growth coming from OIN is a software patents growth, not “Open Source Growth” (more on that in our next article about IBM, which pretends Open Source would not be possible without software patents) and there’s no evidence to support this title. It doesn’t take much research to see that OIN is about making FOSS more like large corporations with their software patents, not making those corporations more like FOSS. The same goes for the Linux Foundation. They both just misuse the “Linux” brand to promote the agenda of companies such as IBM. To say that the Foundation exists merely “to pay Torvalds’ salary” is also quite misleading because nowadays it pays dozens of people ~$300,000/year in salaries. They’re not technical people; few actual coders get paid; they’re the likes of Zemlin, riding the coattails of Linus Torvalds and his project, Linux, to get as much as a million bucks a year. It’s truly discouraging to see that in the same way oil companies thoroughly corrupt politics Microsoft corrupts FOSS groups like the Linux Foundation, OSI and so on. Money buys silence if not complicity. Over at Tux Machines we’ve shown (over the weekend) that Microsoft’s role inside the Foundation keeps growing yet more. They have a lot of power and influence inside this Foundation, so should we be shocked to see Jim Zemlin saying that being against Microsoft like “kicking a puppy” (his words)? Is self-defense like animal abuse? Violence against puppies? We’ve warned about this for well over a decade (e.g. Zemlin urged people to “respect Microsoft” more than a decade ago). Microsoft’s work for ICE doesn’t seem to bother him, but Trump does bother him. Palantir does not seem to bother him either (the Foundation now names it as a member, even in press releases, while acting as a front group to it). This is not good and it’s only a matter of time before the “Linux” Foundation gets associated with things like concentration camps (which Microsoft proudly profits from, it even brags about it in its blog and lies about it to employees). “…for Azure training they have budget, but not for Linux.com.”Here’s another new ZDNet piece (same author, who is connected to the Foundation) that promotes the Foundation’s work for Facebook, a company that gives all its data to Microsoft and was nearly acquired by Microsoft (instead they became strategic ‘surveillance capitalism’ allies with a shared warehouse of people’s secrets). We expect things to get yet worse over time because the Foundation isn’t communicating any of these issues. It never airs these concerns and it hasn’t even said a thing about Linux.com being effectively disbanded. Yesterday they published a press release about training (Clyde Seepersad), highlighting a program that promotes Microsoft Azure; for Azure training they have budget, but not for Linux.com. █ What the Linux Foundation’s Jim Zemlin Really Thinks of Desktop/Laptop GNU/Linux The Campaign to Oust Linus Torvalds and Other Microsoft Critics at the ‘Linux’ Foundation	cc/2021-04/en_middle_0015.json.gz/line223

We go from the “bad idea” (the pitch), work it into a concept, then flesh out the details on how the game would work, the mechanics and the “first 5 minutes” Note: This is not a complete design document. There are notes from the project development session that took place on the 8th episode of Season 2 of the Limited Engagement podcast. If you would like to work on this project, it is highly recommended you use these notes to develop a more thorough and complete design document to work from. It should also be noted that this game idea belongs you, the Limited Engagement community, and you should feel comfortable in adding, changing, or discarding any of the ideas presented. We know you’ll make something awesome. Players spawn in a suburban house. After choosing who’s “it” (or being chosen at random), the players leave the house and gather around the area that will become “base” (car, tree, etc). The player designated as “it” is temporarily blinded (or teleported to stare at the ground). Meanwhile, the surrounding suburban neighborhood begins to transform into another world. Several maps should be made and picked at random (or selected in the pregame phase in the house.) Players run into the map and find places to hide. Nametags are turned off. After a period of time, the player who is “it” is released. The “It” player has a set time to locate all other players and punch them to capture them before time runs out. When a player is punched, they are teleported to “home base,” which serves as a prison. The first captured player instead becomes the second “it” player, who can either stay at home base and guard prisoners, or leave to hunt for other players. Captured players are stuck at home base until another player manages to reach home base and tag them by punching them. After being released, the player receives a short period during which they cannot be captured or release other players. Every interval of some seconds, all non-“it” players in home base are teleported into a “chore” – a random minigame which players compete to spawn a powerup for other players at a random location in the map. The powerups spawned are directly related to the chore completed. These powerups cannot be picked up by “it” players. When a powerup is spawned, its location is announced in the chat for all players (including “its”) to see. When players fail to complete a minigame (or no players are captured at the time of the chore), a powerup spawns for the “its.” Game ends in victory for the “its” if they capture all players before the game time runs out. Game ends in victory for the non-“its” if time runs out with at least one player not captured. The chores and their related powerups are as follows: “Take out the garbage.” – Steal a “garbage bag”: a throwable item which creates a sticky, slowing mess around its location. “Clean your room.” – Get on mom’s good side: become a little brat that can escape capture once. “My mom said I can keep playing!” “Do the dishes” – SOAP IN THE EYES! Blind an opponent temporarily. “Mow the lawn.” – Cover yourself in grass clippings to gain temporary invisibility. “Do your homework” – Get SUPERSMARTVISION: Use your mathematical wizardry to temporarily reveal the location of “it!” “Scrub the toilet.” – Get Squeaky Clean! slip away from the opponent with your temporary speed boost. “Clean the garage.” – Oh hey, there’s Grandpa Gerald’s teleportation device! He’s been looking for that. Teleport to a random location within a radius around you. “It” Powerups “Hey, I think that kid had some chocolate on him..” – Path appears leading to nearest player. Path disappears after a short time and does not follow targeted player if they move after path appears. “BRAINFREEZE!” Freeze a random player for a short time “Radar” – Uses new captions feature to briefly show the direction of all players.

Tadeusz Dzieszko, Pastor. The Solemnity of the 100th anniversary of St. Constance parish that took place on the day of October 16, 2016 started a year earlier, that is, on October 10, 2015. On this day, His Excellency, Bishop John Manz, celebrated a high mass inaugurating a year of solemnity and the 100th year itself. This period was meant to prepare parishioners and local parish residents for this great event. With this in mind, Fr. Canon, Tadeusz Dzieszko, together with the committee dedicated to preparing the anniversary celebrations, began requesting permissions of the authorities of the City of Chicago to obtain the permits necessary to hang banners on the lighting poles in the main streets of the city surrounding parish (Austin Blvd., Lawrence Ave. and Higgins Ave.) The special banners announcing this event have been hung, and active organizational and advertising work has begun, so that the parishioners and the owners of surrounding businesses would support this initiative. A detailed plan for the celebration of the Anniversary was made, and Connie and James Schiltz, and Teresa and Kazimierz Milewski from the Polonia Club were elected Co-chairs. Special teams were put together to tackle various initiatives responsible for the proper experience of the pre-jubilee period and the preparation of the main ceremonies. These works were accompanied by great enthusiasm and the joyful commitment of many people from the parish. This was all possible thanks to the very professional leadership of all teams by Father Canon, Tadeusz Dzieszko, who supported, taught and often led the work, so that every person working in a team preparing the celebration enjoyed their valuable work and service. Already at the beginning of the year, the project was supported by 47 of local businesses and individuals, through the banners announcing the Jubilee. In addition, the Tree of Life Initiative was launched, which collected 152 donors within a brief period and continues to increase steadily. The committees of the Liturgy, the music, the media and the publications, the graphic and printing panel, the Committee on the Jubilee book, the Committee on Food, and the Council of the European Invitations and ticket sales for banquet, Committee of the Great Jubilee Lottery, Committee on Decoration in the church, banquet Hall and the Hanzel Center, the Committee for the preparation of memorial “Pictorial Book” and other groups that have engaged 112 people, not to mention the volunteers who were involved in the work. In addition, in order to commemorate the Jubilee, the pastor began efforts to make new doors for the church with engraved glass saints and inscriptions commemorating this particular year. The above figures illustrate the scope and momentum of the work undertaken, and the system needed to manage the parishioners ‘ teams. All of these were capped off by a mass of thanksgiving celebrated on October 16, 2016 year by the Ordinary of the Diocese of Springfield Bishop Tomasz Paprocki with an assistance of close to 40 priests and a parish reception in the Hanzel Center Hall, and banquet at the Chateau Ritz with 800 people in attendance. Bishop Tomasz Paprocki spoke about the history of the parish in his sermon, who, for two and a half years before of his appointment in 2013 to auxiliary bishop was a pastor of St. Constance Parish. Fr. Canon Tadeusz Dzieszko, thanking the participants of the Mass for their participation in the Jubilee, said that the history of the parish is inextricably linked with the history of thousands of Polish immigrants transmitting the Catholic faith from generation to generation. “It is the image of the age of struggle and toil for perpetuating polishness and Catholicism, the service of God and homeland, but also the beautiful testimony of the life of the young American generation of Polish origin, proudly caring for values passed down by their families.” A delegation from Częstochowa from the Order of Pauline Fathers with Superior General Fr. Albert Chrapkowski and former Superior General Fr. Izydor Matuszewski appeared at the Jubilee. Also Superior General Sister Ewa Kaczmarek was present, from the congregation of the Missionary Sisters of Christ the King for the Polish diaspora, chairing the delegation of sisters working in the United States. Among the faithful there was the consul general of Poland Piotr Janicki, secretary of the District Court Dorothy Brown, four municipal alderman: John Arena, Ariel Reboyras, Chris Taliaferro, Nicholas Sposato, Congressman Luis Arroyo, a director for Congressman Gutierrez’s District: Theresa Paucar and a number of chairs and representatives of Polish organizations. The Liturgy was illuminated by the mastery of tenor Józef Homik singing of “Ave Maria,” as well as the brass band. Over 800 people were in attendance in the banquet halls of the Chateau Ritz. Among them were our parishioners, who came from other states of America especially for this ceremony. Fr. Bishop Tomasz Paprocki had the keynote speech, and the toast for the prosperity of the parish and the pastors and nuns working in the congregation, was raised by the President of the Polish National Association and the Polonia American Congress, Franciszek Spula. Bishop John R. Manz expressed his wishes and congratulations on behalf of Cardinal Blase Cupich. On behalf of the Republic of Poland, consul General Piotr Janicki extended his greetings and wishes to the parishioners. A letter of congratulation was handed from the mayor of Chicago Rahm Emmanuel by John Arena, Alderman of the 45th Ward. The president of ZNP and KPA Franciszek Spula, with the assistance of Treasurer Marian Grabowski, with well wishes, presented to Fr. Dzieszko a memorial clock with a dedication. Many wishes and congratulations were sent from Poland and the federal and state authorities to the pastor. The history and achievements of the parish during the reception were retold by Connie and James Schlitz, and Teresa and Kazimierz Milewscy from Polonia Club. A richly illustrated “Jubilee book” and a “photo book” were published on the occasion. The banquet was hosted by Sylwia Bania and Zbigniew Kowal. The honor guard was held by members of the Association of the Friends of the Polish “Ulans” of Tadeusz Kościuszko and the Association of the Historical Society of the Polish Army. In the artistic part of the banquet, folk dance and theatre groups “Lajkonik” and “Wici” provided entertainment. At the end of the performance, the young people from the theater, song and dance, “Wici” invited the participants of the gala to dance the Polonaise. There was a rich lottery and much dancing. Father Tadeusz Dzieszko thanks everyone for their participation in the Jubilee, emphasizing the great commitment and generosity of the faithful in his realization and conduct.

Their mission was to find a capture a criminal warlord named Mohammed Farrah Aideed. On the 3rd of October, Keni and his fellow rangers distinguished themselves in an eighteen hour fire-fight that would later be recounted in the highly successful book and movie “Blackhawk Down”. Nineteen Americans gave their lives and 78 were wounded in the worst urban combat seen by US troops since WWII. A powerful speaker, Keni captivates audiences from beginning to end as he tells the incredible story of extraordinary individuals and how they fought to bring each other home. Drawing from his experiences on the battlefield, Keni inspires people to achieve greatness by stressing the importance of outstanding leadership at every level, even if the only person you are leading is yourself. His message of “Train as you fight – Fight as you train and Lead By Example” epitomizes the Ranger motto “Rangers Lead the Way!” Keni sums it up like this, “Leadership has never been about the rank or the position you hold. It’s about the example you set. There are people to your left and to your right who are counting on you and its up to you to deliver. But you will only be as good as you prepared yourself to be.” After Mogadishu, Sergeant Thomas volunteered for one more enlistment in the Army. He became an assistant team leader for a six-man ranger reconnaissance team. He earned his master parachutist rating with over 400 military free fall jumps. He completed the Special Forces Combat Diver course, became an Advanced EMT and was one of ten Americans to complete the Belgium Commando Course. Keni got out of the Army to pursue his music career and now works full-time as an award winning country music recording artist and songwriter in Nashville. He and his band Cornbread were featured in the movie “Sweet Home Alabama” and his music can be heard on country stations nationwide. Keni continues to serve our troops with regular tours to Iraq and Afghanistan. He is a regular guest on all the major news networks as a military analyst and was also a military advisor for the Mel Gibson movie “We Were Soldiers”. He has been recognized by the President of the United States, by Congress and has been awarded the American Patriot Award.

Showing Posts 2361 - 2370 of 2451 Posted: 10/13/2020 7:25:51 PM 2361 dewster From: Northern NJ, USA threads - posts Four Ears Good, Two Ears Bad Roger raised the resonator "zing" issue and has been helping me tune the resonator internal low pass filter scaling. Which I feel is kinda done, at least for the time being. Here's the current solution I came up with yesterday and worked out through 20 or so test loads: In the above graph, the purple line is that of the scaling polynomial: 0.375 + x^2 - (0.375 * x^4) And the red line is the resulting -3dB cutoff point (F3). Note that the filter response is undefined above Nyquist, but it disappears before that because the attenuation is less than -3dB, but the filter continues to become more and more of a wire as the frequency input value (as produced by the polynomial) approaches 1. This fourth order polynomial scales the inharmonic resonator "reso" raw knob value for use as the internal low pass filter corner frequency input. We want a sinusoid type response in the log domain which starts and ends rather horizontally. It doesn’t need much dynamic range because recirculation multiplies the attenuation, and there is a second explicit gain factor in the loop (also controlled by the "reso" knob, but exponentially). The low end flat region reduces feedforward "zing" and the high end flat-ish region allows full feedback for bells and such. The second order term plus offset upwardly inflects the start, and subtracting the fourth order term inflects the end back down. Interestingly, changing the single polynomial coefficient used to both scale the fourth order term and offset the second order term alters the dynamic range while providing the same basic shape over much of it, so this could perhaps be used as an input “darkness” parameter if so desired. The value 0.375 establishes the minimum F3 as 3.66kHz, which is somewhat higher than I was expecting to finally set it, based on my earlier observations. I also lowered the dynamic range of the explicit "reso" gain factor from 84dB to 72dB, which helps to center things up knob-wise and makes the response more even over the full range of frequency settings of the resonator. This has been one of the more subjective / subtle of parameter scalings, and the dudes who design reverbs for a living and do it well have my full respect. This exercise forced me to use Libre Office Calc a bit more, and it's really not all that bad, though it feels somewhat less tightly connected to mouse actions and such. It's so very nice that entirely viable options exist outside of Excel, and they're free! link Report Post Posted: 10/14/2020 1:25:08 AM 2362 "I have to say again that your prints are looking very good. The lower three look exceptional and especially so considering that they are half scale. The internal hole strings are almost unavoidable." - pitts8rh Thanks! And these are coarse Z step prints with zero cleanup. Your prints though are works of art. "I know you're trying to minimize time and material but you may want to just leave the ribs out and do a few millimeters of infill grid with a couple top layers. It will make the foil easy to apply but will provide more ESD protection. I wouldn't count on the printed plastic to provide much of a discharge barrier compared to a solid plastic, so an air gap is probably better to have." It's probably not obvious, but that's exactly what I'm doing with the ribless one on the right, where the additional 7mm backplate added to the 5mm frontplate gives 12mm total cubic infill. It does take a bit more material and time, but seems as good at keeping warping down as the ribs. And it will be easier to cover with foil. "You would probably really appreciate having a textured flex plate at some point. It makes the first layer a little easier to lay down and it looks pretty too." I would have bought one back when I got the flat flex plate (which has been fantastic BTW) but they were out of stock. "And I think I mentioned it before but if you want to try a different surface appearance you can in Cura change the top/bottom line directions (under Shell) and infill line directions (under Infill) from the default 45 and 135 degrees to 0 and 90 by replacing the "[]" with [0,90]. I've started doing this for a lot of things because getting rid of the diagonal lines makes the part look a little less printed." I was doing [0,90] but stopped when I noticed the top and bottom layers weren't tracking when they met without infill. Cura wanted to do the final bottom layer and the first top layer in the same direction, even though they were touching each other. I just never went back, and figure I'll have to use some kind of filler & paint anyway. "The 912ef289.spi load is the best yet. I'm able to have plenty of low- and mid-resonance on the strings without fighting the treble resonances. Although they are still there they seem to be much more naturally muted, and they are easier to control with oscillator pmod and filtering or by simply compensating with playing technique. I'm finding that when spinning through all of my various string mutations that were previously abandoned they are now usable with only a few tweaks. I don't even know where many of these originated (violin, cello, etc) but they all sound different and most are working very well over several octaves. It's easy to come up with dozens of variations that all sound good. These changes were worth the effort, and I hope that we can stick with this version for a while. I'm glad it's fixing things for you! I believe the "zing" issue is largely feedforward, so the immediate (direct + delayed once, no recirculation) peaks and dips are influenced at xmix. Moving the reson output to post LPF causes those peaks and dips to be reduced on the high end because there is less direct constructive / destructive phase mixing going on there. Real reverberant environments absorb the heck out of highs so our ears are expecting that too. "I went right to your vocal sample and my immediate impression was that it was a spooky sound, and then I read your similar description. Voices, like strings, are hard to stop playing until the butt says it's time to get up and do something else. When I'm not spinning knobs on string presets I'm working on vocals, which are equally if not more sensitive to minor variations. I'm finding it a little hard to get comfortable with identifying which formants contribute to certain vocal attributes. It's easy to get into a rut by making endless variations on a given voice to change the brightness or add dynamics but they don't always make it sound like a different person. And then you have to avoid getting nasally or chipmunky over pitch changes." I agree, vocals are a challenge. Worse than strings, when I'm editing from an existing preset it doesn't seem like minor tweaks work beyond getting a chipmunk version of the original, so the trick is to break out of the pattern somehow, but that requires leaving a local maxima through no-man's-land via the uncanny valley. The upper formants are largely nasal, and have an subtle yet profound influence, which I suppose makes sense from an evolutionary angle: nasal passages make up a portion of the vocal fingerprints utilized by a species understandably obsessed with identity (our large-ish brains may exist mainly to track a large number of individuals and their behaviors). pitts8rh From: Minnesota USA "It's probably not obvious, but that's exactly what I'm doing with the ribless one on the right, where the additional 7mm backplate added to the 5mm frontplate gives 12mm total cubic infill. It does take a bit more material and time, but seems as good at keeping warping down as the ribs. And it will be easier to cover with foil." - Dewster It would have been obvious if I had read all of what you wrote instead of just scanning it. Sorry about that. I do that too often, and I should know by now that you rarely miss things. Stiffie Joke You read engineering rules of thumb like "stiffness goes up with the square of the height" and it fills your head full of notions that are hard to shake. I've been ribbing up all my PETG plates to make them flatter and less rubbery, but it seems simple cubic infill is probably superior in this regard, even though the plastic being expended for that stiffens in all dimensions, and not just the desired one, which is somewhat counter-intuitive. Above is the back of the LED tuner plate, old at top and new at bottom (full size). This probably isn't the best example as it doesn't present with a lot of opportunity to stick a million ribs hither and yon in there, and I didn't exactly take full advantage of said opportunities either. But I suppose that also makes it a better candidate for cubic infill therapy, which is a dead simple option as the slicer handles it automatically. Though, as with the plate antenna, I kept the rib around the perimeter. There's so much to learn about physical design. Negative Capacitance So I've got the NPN-based differential LC oscillator [LINK] still running on my bench and noticed something rather weird. 1. When I bring my hand closer the antenna, the trace on the 16.6667ms delayed scope moves to the to the right. This makes sense because the increased capacitance slows the oscillator down. 2. But when I bring my hand closer to the antenna with the pitch plate of my D-Lev P2 (which is not powered) in the way (the plate is maybe 2' away from the differential oscillator rod antenna), the wave moves to the left and quite markedly so! I guess the unpowered D-Lev plate is serving as the C field destination of my hand, removing C from the differential oscillator antenna rod. The speed up effect is quite large, larger than the slow down effect of my hand alone. It behaves almost like there's a negative hand operating on the D-Lev, but it's influencing the antenna behind it. And when my hand gets very near the plate the wave then moves to the right! Weird... [EDIT] I put a bigger antenna on it and now it does just the opposite with the plate in between! Weird... tinkeringdude Dude! Negative capacitance! Can you make a Free Energy device out of that? (or at least a flux capacitor. But you'd still need the 1.1 Jiggawatts, so free energy would sure come in handy.) 1.21GW + DeLorean! Buggins From: Theremin Motherland Very strange effect. Who can explain it? Posted: 10/25/2020 10:48:53 AM 2369 I suppose this could (given the right geometries and test conditions) be caused by a shielding or distortion effect of having the conductor in the "antenna's" E-field. Looking at a time snapshot of the antenna here (to consider the electric field to be momentarily static) it is just a rod-shaped capacitive element surrounded by equipotential electric-field surface contours that vary in shape with distance. Near the rod the equipotential contour is nearly a cylinder with hemispherical ends, like an elongated capsule. At mid-range the equipotential field contours are somewhat football-shaped, or more accurately described as prolate-spheroid shaped. And of course at long range the equipotential contours approach spheres, because at long distances the shape or aspect of the element becomes less relevent. These equipotential voltage contours are also somewhat recognizable as constant capacitance contours, and in the case of a theremin they represent contours of constant pitch. If you try moving a conductive sphere (or your hand) around a rod antenna while maintaining a constant pitch you will find that these are the shapes that you will map out at the various distances. Now when you introduce a conductive plate into this relatively uniform field pattern it distorts it by forcing the boundary condition of constant voltage over the shape of the plate (because it's a conductor!). The field lines will crowd in some areas and be spread in others by forcing this boundary. Next consider the effect on a theremin, or just the oscillator in this case. Most players will have noticed that by placing a conductor or dielectric insulator near the theremin it will generally raise the pitch (because it's lowering the oscillator frequency) due to the either the body capacitance of the conductor or the increased C due to the increased relative dielectric constant of an insulator compared to that of air. So assuming that a metal plate placed within the field of the oscillator's rod element will by itself lower the oscillator frequency somewhat (let's call this reference frequency f), it could be reasoned that a hand approaching behind the plate (but still at a distance so as to be in the unperturbed E-field) will first lower the oscillator frequency below f as expected, but then as the hand becomes "hidden" by the plate (by moving into a region of less-crowded E-field lines) the frequency will try to rise toward f, although it would never quite reach it because your arm would still be in the unperturbed outer field region. When the hand continues to move past the plate, closer to the rod and again back into the unperturbed field contours, the frequency will again continue to drop as expected. This may be what causes the "hump" in Dewster's first observation, but you would understandably need a very specific set of conditions to exhibit the reversal effect. Maybe that's why changing the rod antenna size made the effect disappear. Or not... I'm sort of speculating, but this does feel familiar even if I haven't thought it through correctly. It's something like 4:30AM here and sometimes I'm afraid posting right after I get up in the morning is like drunk-texting. At least I can edit when I wake up. That said, I think I have run into this kind of behavior before but at higher frequencies where "antennas" are actually antennas, so it may be due to different factors. "So assuming that a metal plate placed within the field of the oscillator's rod element will by itself lower the oscillator frequency somewhat (let's call this reference frequency f), it could be reasoned that a hand approaching behind the plate (but still at a distance so as to be in the unperturbed E-field) will first lower the oscillator frequency below f as expected, but then as the hand becomes "hidden" by the plate (by moving into a region of less-crowded E-field lines) the frequency will try to rise toward f, although it would never quite reach it because your arm would still be in the unperturbed outer field region. When the hand continues to move past the plate, closer to the rod and again back into the unperturbed field contours, the frequency will again continue to drop as expected. This may be what causes the "hump" in Dewster's first observation, but you would understandably need a very specific set of conditions to exhibit the reversal effect." - pitts8rh That's what I think too. The hand is hidden by the plate when very close, removing its C from the total contribution "seen" by the rod. The C field can be quite complex, thus the lack of simple closed-form equations for anything outside of toy problems like concentric spheres and such, and the necessary reliance on FEA to accurately quantify C in real-world scenarios. "Maybe that's why changing the rod antenna size made the effect disappear." The lager rod antenna makes it reverse, the lower graph flips and the hump turns into a dip. Which I guess also makes sense, because the larger antenna can "see around" the plate better? What most surprised me was the strength of the effect, but maybe that's not so surprising after all, because of course hand nearness to the plate should be a big factor. Along these lines: it's been a while since I pondered Theremin active electrostatic shielding, but there are many benefits to it. It can shape the field to somewhat exclude both general and gestural interference, making it easier to play around others (fellow musicians on stage, nearby audience, etc.). And it can raise the theoretical maximum LC frequency deviation (i.e. absolute sensitivity) by reducing the intrinsic C of the antenna (a big area antenna can "look" like a smaller area antenna intrinsically, but still interact mutually with the hand like a big area antenna). AFAICT it requires HV low Z active drive, and can't be accomplished (when applied at or very near the antenna anyway) via passive means. Good active shielding could reduce the need for HV swing in order to overcome RF interference and the like, which could lower the necessary HV supply. A plate antenna is probably the easiest geometry to shield (a double plate - like a capacitor - is nicely symmetric)? You must be logged in to post a reply.

X #PerfectedTypos My friend, Princess, told me about this exercise she was doing. She Recycled Fashion and the Future of Sustainability Sustainable fashion is… clothing design geared toward durability and Laughing in the King’s Face, Part II: Lenny Bruce and the New Guard of Comedy Still wearing that suit and tie, but now, it’s not fitting as well as Subjectified: Transcending Taboos in an Era of Shareware Kathleen Sweeney on 19 February, 2013 at 13:48 Although we live in an Internet era of oversharing, sexting, combined with an HBO/Showtime matrix of explicit programming, and a constant stream of highly sexualized images of women and girls, remarkably little open dialogue exists in the media about real female desire. Melissa Tapper Goldman’s bold 2012 documentary, “Subjectified: Nine Young Women Talk about Sex,” turns a lens on a topic that still brings out the censors: young women frankly discussing their sexuality. Since its debut, the video has been circulating as a touchstone for animated discussion and community-building around the country at colleges, community centers and film festivals. In addition to the documentary, Goldman has developed a “Movie Party” kit that includes a discussion guide with game and writing prompts. Below is an interview with the director about her process in producing the video, the optimal context for viewership, and the meaning of exploring this topic when mainstream outlets accord Lena Dunham’s HBO series “Girls” with the last word on millennial sexuality. Clearly, young women have a lot more to say. To learn more about the film, check out Melissa Tapper Goldman’s Vimeo channel or visit the Subjectified website. vmlab: Can you explain the title of your documentary? I called the documentary “Subjectified” because I was interested in flipping the script: looking at women not as objects of sexual desire but as subjects of sexual experience, agents in their own stories. Being the protagonist in our own story and simultaneously the object of other people’s gazes is the real, lived experience for many women. But women’s sexual agency for its own sake is almost never depicted in popular media, which typically exists for commercial purposes where sexuality is a means to an end (selling a product or driving hits, for example). The full title is “Subjectified: Nine Young Women Talk about Sex.” vmlab: What is your primary impulse for producing this documentary? I wanted to increase compassion and understanding among women around the country, especially toward people whose experiences with sex and sexuality are different from our own. With the myths or archetypes that are reinforced by pop culture (and Reality TV in particular), most of us suffer from seriously misunderstanding other people’s motives and behaviors when it comes to sex, reproduction, sexuality, and sexual health. This mutual skepticism and disregard, especially among women, keeps us from addressing the bigger questions getting in the way of our well-being. vmlab: How did you select the subjects? What were the criteria? Were they all friends of yours? There were a few kinds of diversity that I wanted to incorporate, particularly geographic, ethnic, socio-economic, religious, and in terms of sexual orientation. Because the women’s accounts needed to be long enough to get in-depth with their own personalities and motivations, I was limited in the number of subjects I could include. The sample was small by design, so I couldn’t reach as far as I wanted in all of those areas. But there were a few stories that I wanted to tell specifically because they exist as archetypes in pop culture (such as the abstinent Christian and the young mother), archetypes that I wanted a chance to deconstruct and three-dimensionalize. It was also important to me to show very different personalities and approaches to sex, something totally unquantifiable. vmlab: How did you establish trust on camera? It started with an immense amount of research and self-scrutiny to look at what assumptions and biases I was bringing to the interaction. I knew that whatever was holding me back or making me uncomfortable would be immediately apparent in such an intimate conversation and would compromise the interview. So that was internal work that happened before I even approached the subjects. I explained the project to every person when we met up for the interview, and each one was totally on board. They really were partners in the process. I basically said, “People want to hear each other’s stories so we can be more compassionate and less judgmental.” Good listening is really rare in our society, and many women feel not listened to and not understood. I think that people really want to share and really want to listen, but there are barriers in place that make it difficult. I offered to answer any of the questions I asked after the interview, but actually nobody took me up on that. I think we were both so exhausted by the end. Bottom line, I was totally present and invested in each of the conversations, so I think that came through to the participants and built trust. I approached them with admiration and respect, which I think was apparent from minute one. vmlab: You often cut away to referential photos that are identity-protected/pixelated…can you explain why so many identities are being protected? How does this reflect on breaking or sustaining taboos about young women’s sexuality? It’s not an accident that these topics are considered private or taboo. There are many ways that this silence (and sometimes shame) is enforced. When you really believe that sex and sexuality are not shameful, you start to see this shaming everywhere. Why should talking about the facts of your life threaten your job or livelihood or relationships? Why should the participants have feared that their coworkers or families might come across the movie? But those fears have a real basis in how we treat and talk about women. In a culture where women’s sexuality is policed both by society at large and also frequently by other women (through “slut shaming,” victim blaming, and a general contempt toward people of different experiences), the consequences for breaking this silence can be really significant. Women are often defined by their choices around sex, as well as choices that were made for them and without their consent. We want to use this project to show that “normal” is not so meaningful, or at least that it encompasses a wide and diverse range of experiences. That’s something you can only learn in practice by being exposed to people with different perspectives and then listening to them. Our culture’s silence takes a huge toll, and that cost is not evenly distributed among people. Women pay dearly for not being able to speak about our own bodies and experiences. vmlab: What are your thoughts on the HBO show “Girls”? I think Lena Dunham has tremendous guts and is extremely talented, and I see the voice in the show as authentic even if it only captures the experience of a narrow segment of people. Any time women or sexual minorities speak out about their experiences, it’s a risky proposition. The point of view portrayed in the show is still an underrepresented one. I read a quote from Lena Dunham at the New Yorker festival that I haven’t been able to replicate, but it was something like, “There is nothing gutsier to me than a person announcing that their story is one that deserves to be told, especially if that person is a woman.” I organized an event last fall with Carol Gilligan and a bunch of wonderful activists from my own generation, and this was an issue that kept coming up in the discussion. It is hard for many people to insist that their stories are important because we live in a culture that tells us to shut up so often. It’s a challenge also to approach these issues sensitively and intersectionally, realizing that the barriers to expression are not the same for all women or all people generally. We need to do special and particular work to welcome in a diversity of perspectives, but that fundamental first step is always there, saying “my story is important.” But it’s still uncomfortable for people to hear “my story is important,” especially when it comes from a woman. Carol Gilligan commented, in her soothing voice, “I keep hearing you talk about being selfish. When you tell your story, you’re not being selfish. You’re just telling your story.” That’s a paraphrase, but it was really revelatory. Coincidentally, I’m involved with two projects right now that have some parallel with Girls. One is Subjectified, which has the obvious connection of capturing women’s stories about sex but in a completely different format than Girls. The other project is a web series made by my supremely talented brother, Adam Goldman. It’s called The Outs and is sometimes likened to a gay guys’ version of Girls. It does take place in Brooklyn and involve 20-somethings being honest about sex, and they’re both cleverly written. But the projects serve different aims and exist in different spaces. There’s obviously a significant distance between a crowdfunded web series and a fully produced HBO hit. The fact that people keep drawing these connections is a testament to how little there is in media culture that actually makes space for earnest depictions sexuality outside of the hetero-male perspective. We are hungry for this material. vmlab: Did you learn about sex from “Sex and the City”? (For a lot of teen girls, the DVD collection could be called “Sex Ed and the City”….) The show definitely created space for the idea of women communicating openly and relatively non-judgmentally about sex. I hope people learned that part! I think it also began to desensitize American culture to the idea of women as people with their own sexual motivations, even if the particular motivations were sometimes unrelatable if not unreal. We still have miles to go on the topic of sexual agency, but perhaps it needed to be raised by fictional characters in a caricatural way. There was some unfortunate damage done by the show’s glamorization of rich white sex, things like Brazilian bikini waxes. vmlab: Have you considered creating a member’s only channel for young women where they can upload their own stories of healthy sexuality (similar to the powerful “It Gets Better” series)? How could you protect such a site from trolls or fundamentalists? Is it possible to host such a community online? This is on my mind all the time. I’m seeking funding to develop multimedia tools for story sharing around sexuality. Wish me luck! Trolls and privacy issues are the most serious concerns. One of the great things about “It Gets Better”: it was made by people who had already taken the steps (and consequences) of living their lives openly. For many women, the consequences of “coming out” as people who value sex and sexuality would still be ahead of them, and that’s tricky to facilitate in an ethical way. It’s been a challenge even in the much more controllable sphere of documentary filmmaking. Not to mention that if minors posted their own videos, they could actually face criminal charges in some states. I’ve been looking at ways to anonymize the process and strike a balance between creating safe spaces and taking on the risks necessary to make change. There are communities that do story sharing in effective and inclusive ways. I think MetaFilter is a fascinating example of an online community that has established community standards that encourage dialogue, sharing, and freedom of expression, within a framework of rejecting hate and flame wars. And I particularly appreciate that the community is not just an echo chamber of the same opinion or background. That model takes careful and consistent moderation by some brilliant people (like librarian/writer Jessamyn West). There are other models, but they’re either work-intensive or community-intensive. I’m interested generally in questions about how to create safe spaces for expression, whether they’re in individual friendships, on campuses, or on corners of the internet. I haven’t yet solved the problem of how to scale “Subjectified,” but my hope is that the conversations in the movie will provoke people to start conversations in their personal lives. To this end, one of the distribution strategies that I’ve worked on is an extremely low-tech solution: creating a board game for the movie, which we’ve called the Movie Party Kit. The kit encourages people to watch with friends and, like the movie, it jump-starts conversations about sex that can be hard to begin on your own. We often consume media alone on PCs or mobile devices, so I was looking for ways to encourage “IRL” community-building with the movie (which happens to be much more fun to watch with friends). We’ll see if people use the kits. I created them with the help of some fantastic sexuality educators around the country. vmlab: Do you see your film as a real-time community building tool that operates best in group screenings followed by discussion? How can social media support your work? Right now the real-time community building is our priority, because that’s how we’ve seen Subjectified be really effective. The movie gets people to open up and communicate about sex and its related issues. One of my favorite reactions is that people often want to share their own stories after seeing the movie. So I’ve been interested in how to capture people’s stories and weave them back into the project so it reflects the values, interests, and priorities of the audience. That said, it’s not some anonymous future viewer on the internet who makes our stories valid, it’s expressing them in the fabric of our communities. I care more about building relationships between people than about creating media for “public” consumption. Twitter or tumblr are somewhere in between. I’ve started researching how to use apps and social media to connect around these issues, but so far I’ve found the real life conversations more impactful. There are other interesting questions that social media can help us work on, such as how we can empower people to formulate their stories for their own sake rather than for performance. There’s so much disinhibition on the internet, but it’s another step to translate that openness into our intimate relationships or “IRL” friendships. Ultimately, I want to foster openness and support that can exist in lasting friendships and sexual partnerships wherever they are. It’s not obvious how to do that. People can have powerful, supportive friendships entirely online, so online community-building is still an important avenue to explore. Especially in this “digital age,” real life community plays an important role in people’s lives, partly just in helping us metabolize the pressures of living in an information-dense environment. The influences of TV or web video or pornography hit us quickly and we don’t have much time to process in the moment, which is disturbing if you look at the cognitive science research on media effects. Processing and contextualizing are really important for having a healthy relationship with the media we consume, and it takes time and effort. So my perspective is that there’s a lot of space for effective interventions that exist both in the digital and “in real life” realms (to the degree that they’re distinct at all).

Early life 1 RMS Titanic 2 Later years and death 3 Portrayals 4 Boxhall was born in Hull in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England, the second child of Miriam and Captain Joseph Boxhall, Sr. He was born into an established seafaring tradition: His grandfather had been a mariner, his uncle was a Trinity House buoymaster and Board of Trade official, and his father was a respected master with the Wilson Line of Hull. Boxhall followed in the footsteps of his ancestors on 2 June 1899, when he joined his first ship, a barque of the William Thomas Line of Liverpool. Boxhall's apprenticeship lasted four years, during which time he travelled extensively. He then went to work with his father at Wilson Line and, after obtaining his Master's and Extra-Master's certifications in September 1907, joined the White Star Line. On 1 October 1911, he was confirmed as a sub-lieutenant in the Royal Naval Reserve.[1] He served on White Star's liners RMS Oceanic and Arabic before moving to the Titanic as Fourth Officer in 1912; he was then 28 years old. Like the ship's other junior officers, Boxhall reported to White Star's Liverpool offices at nine o'clock in the morning on 26 March 1912, and travelled to board the ship at Belfast the following day. After the RMS Titanic departed Southampton on 10 April, Boxhall settled into his regular duties; these included scheduled watches, aiding in navigation, and assisting passengers and crew when necessary. When Titanic collided with an iceberg at 11.40 PM on 14 April, Officer Boxhall was off duty near the Officers' Quarters. Hearing the lookout bell, he headed immediately to the bridge, arriving just after the impact. Capt. Smith, who had also just arrived on the bridge, ordered Boxhall to perform an inspection of the forward part of the ship. He found no damage, but was later intercepted by the ship's carpenter, who informed him that the ship was taking water. A mail clerk confirmed this to Boxhall and Captain Smith. Later, it was Boxhall who calculated the Titanic‍ 's position so that a distress signal could be sent out. It was also Boxhall who sighted the masthead lights of a nearby vessel (possibly the SS Californian) and attempted in vain to signal by Morse lamp and distress flares. Officer Boxhall was put in charge of lifeboat No. 2, which was lowered from the port side at 1.45 AM with 18 persons aboard out of a possible 40. He rowed away from the ship for fear of being pulled down by suction. Boxhall did not actually see the Titanic founder, as her lights had gone off and his lifeboat was about three-quarters of a mile distant. Boxhall spotted the RMS Carpathia on the horizon at 4.00 AM and guided her to the lifeboats with a green flare. After being collected by the Carpathia, Boxhall and the other survivors arrived at Pier 54 in New York on 18 April. While in New York, he served as a witness in the American inquiry into the sinking. He and his fellow surviving officers were allowed to leave New York on the Adriatic on 2 May. After returning to England, Boxhall bore witness again, this time at the British inquiry. Much of his testimony concerned details of the lifeboat lowerings and Titanic‍ 's navigation, including the many ice warnings. He was also the first person to testify that he saw another vessel in proximity while Titanic sank. Later years and death Following the Titanic debacle, Boxhall briefly served as Fourth Officer on White Star's Adriatic. He was promoted to lieutenant in the RNR on 27 May 1915.[2] During the First World War, he was commissioned to serve for one year aboard the battleship HMS Commonwealth before being dispatched to Gibraltar, where he commanded a torpedo boat. Boxhall returned to White Star following the war in May 1919, having married Marjory Beddells two months prior. On 27 May 1923, he was promoted to lieutenant-commander in the RNR.[3] He signed on as second officer on board RMS Olympic (Sister ship of Titanic) on 30 June 1926. After the White Star-Cunard merger in 1933, he served in senior capacity as first and later chief officer of the RMS Aquitania, although he was never made a captain in the merchant marine. After 41 years at sea, he retired in 1940. Boxhall was a generally taciturn and quiet man, usually reluctant to speak about his experiences on the Titanic. However, in 1958, he acted as a technical advisor for the film adaptation of Walter Lord's documentary-style novel, A Night to Remember, and also gave a BBC interview in 1962. His health deteriorated rapidly in the 1960s, and he was eventually hospitalised. The last surviving deck officer of Titanic, Boxhall died of a cerebral thrombosis on 25 April 1967 at the age of 83. According to his last wishes, his ashes were scattered to sea at 41°46N 50°14W – the position he had calculated as Titanic‍ 's final resting place over 50 years earlier (within about 15 miles of the actual Titanic wreck site at 41°43N 49°56W). Jack Watling (1958) (A Night to Remember) Boxhall himself acted as a technical consultant to the film's writers and set designers. Warren Clarke (1979) (S.O.S. Titanic) (TV movie) Gerard Plunkett (1996) (Titanic) (TV miniseries) Boxhall is inaccurately portrayed as having been lost with the ship. Simon Crane (1997) (Titanic) Boxhall is only seen twice, on the bridge following the collision and in a lifeboat while Titanic's stern rises dangerously behind him. He only has one line: "Bloody pull faster and pull!"

__label__cc	0.552144	0.447856	The Writing Disorder The Write Recipe Home Interview Kathryn Harrison Interview Kathryn Harrison Interview While reading a Los Angeles Times review of Kathryn Harrison’s new book, On Sunset, I was immediately fascinated by the story of someone growing up in a large whimsical Robert Byrd house on Sunset Blvd., yet never experiencing the life around her. She was not so much trapped as she was protected from a Los Angeles of the 1960s by her over-protective — somewhat eccentric — well-mannered grandparents. She lived a life that most children dream of, living in a beautiful affluent neighborhood, but she rarely ventured out from her home other than to attend school. Quite a story. Shortly after reading the review, I contacted Kathryn, who now lives in New York, and she graciously consented to an interview for this issue. Kathryn Harrison is the author of the novels Envy, The Seal Wife, The Binding Chair, Poison, Exposure, Thicker Than Water and Enchantments. She has also written memoirs, The Kiss and The Mother Knot, a travel memoir, The Road to Santiago, a biography, Saint Therese of Lisieux, and a collection of personal essays, Seeking Rapture. Ms. Harrison is a frequent reviewer for The New York Times Book Review; her essays, which have been included in many anthologies, have appeared in The New Yorker, Harper’s Magazine, Vogue, O Magazine, Salon, and other publications. Her latest book is On Sunset: A Memoir. She lives in New York with her husband, the novelist Colin Harrison, and their children. She is currently working on a novel. What made you want to write about your childhood at this time in your life? Is this something you’ve been wanting to do for a while? It’s taken me this long to recognize how unusual a childhood I had. I had to have raised a family immersed in American culture before I could regard my childhood in contrast. Mine took place 100 years before I was born; it began with my grandparents’ parents, who were more alive to me than my classmates. The unexpected child of teenagers, I was brought up by my mother’s parents, who like most old people lived in their pasts, and took me along. They were both wonderful story-tellers, with dramatic pasts, and there were days I spent hours enthralled by my family’s history. How long did it take to write this book? Was it conceived as a tribute to your grandparents? The writing itself took about 18 months, the research preoccupied my youth—all those hours of listening to family stories. I was lucky enough to inherit countless photographs, letters, diaries, and objects, as well—which allowed me to include illustrations, which makes for a richer experience. Grownups like pictures, too! It wasn’t intended as a tribute, but my feelings for them, my missing them as much as I do decades after their deaths, it was inevitable that the book turn out to be, as a couple of critics observed, a love letter. You grew up in a spectacular Robert Byrd designed home — a lavish, quirky, sprawling ranch style home. I’ve seen photographs of the exterior and interior, with the lush grounds and swimming pool. It must’ve been like living in your own private oasis, hidden in the middle of Los Angeles. It was. I’m sure if I were to return to that garden it would seem small: it would have to, because my 50-year old memories include no property lines, Sunset, my internal landscape, is limitless. There were times in your childhood when your grandparents were around to watch and raise you, and other times when you were on your own. How did you feel living in such a large home and being somewhat isolated from the rest of the world? People comment that mine seems a lonely childhood, but I don’t remember it that way. For me it was a mythic time of safety, over which my grandparents ruled, benign dictators. I was a solitary child, shy and bookish—way too bookish according to my grandmother, who called me a bluestocking. I took it as a compliment, although it was not meant as one. I was happy left to myself and my overactive imagination. You couldn’t really walk out the front door and down the street to a store, being such a busy boulevard without sidewalks. But you probably wandered around the neighborhood at some point. I didn’t actually. I saw the neighbor boys’ house, but there was truly no access to anyone else’s: no sidewalk, no wandering. What was your school life like? Did you have close friends, a best friend? Did you enjoy spending time at your friend’s homes? What did you do on weekends? Were there pool parties at your home? I had a best friend, Francesca, whose greatest appeal was that she was also being raised by a flighty young mother’s European grandparents. I lived among families in which there were few divorces. No one else had a single mother and absent father, no one but Francesca. I didn’t like being at other children’s houses, not when I was a young child. I never slept over; I was always scared of being left in the care of other children’s parents. I loved school. I was a teacher’s pet, often closer to teachers than classmates, perhaps because I spent so much time in the company of people many years my senior. Weekends were blighted by ballet and Christian Science Sunday school, at least during the years we lived on Sunset. I was always in the pool, and usually by myself. By the time my grandparents were in their 70s, the pool party years were waning. It seems like a lot of your outdoor activities were spent shopping and dining. Department stores were quite elegant back then. How do you remember them? What were some of your favorite restaurants? I didn’t like shopping. The stores were elegant indeed, and there was an abundance of customer service — too much of it as far as I was concerned. I was a tomboy who didn’t want the dresses I was buttoned into. The salesladies struck me as part of a conspiracy to ruin my real outdoor life, largely spent climbing trees. My grandparents were Victorian, and thus I was to be seen and not heard, excluded from any restaurant that wasn’t casual. I remember Hamburger Hamlet, where I was allowed to leave the table to ponder the extremely odd little dioramas that hung on the wall that ascended alongside the red carpeted stairs. One was captioned, “Get thee to a Bunnery.” There was also Uncle John’s pancake house, where children were given black mustaches cut out of cardstock, with two prongs to insert into your nostrils. They hurt, which was one more reason not to put one on. I didn’t go to restaurants that required reservations. Have these memories always been with you, or did some memories come back to you while writing this book? Always. I have damnably good recall, especially for emotionally charged situations. My mother’s problematic and erratic presence made me a vigilant child, always paying attention. Were you free to move about the city and take in the unique qualities of Los Angeles? Were you more in tune with the local culture at this time? I was raised to form myself in opposition to American children and culture, which meant I lived in 1900. Outside the door was the pool and the garden, inside there was Shanghai and Alaska. Your grandparents also lived in a home on Hilgard across from UCLA? When did they move into the home on Sunset Blvd.? My grandparents worked with Robert Byrd who built the house on Sunset in 1951. They lived there for 20 years. I love this line in the book. It seems to capture the essence of your world. — “I live where I can’t be followed, where I don’t need and wouldn’t bring other children…” I was very protective of my magic kingdom. I knew no other child would respect its boundaries. A novel set in Vienna in the 1920s, Any advice for writing a memoir? Lean toward discomfort. What is your daily writing routine like? What do you do for fun and recreation? I’m a morning person, so I am at my desk by 6 or 7. I work until I go to yoga class around noon, as I do every day. Then I might put in a few more hours—it depends on how full-tilt I’m going. I’m a homebody with a night life that is currently mostly going to class, as I’ve begun psychoanalytic training. A long-held dream I can satisfy now that my youngest is in college. Are you involved with Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc.? How much time do you spend on the internet each day? Not with any of them, so they take up no time. What are some your favorite books currently? At the moment it’s all Freud, Klein, Winnicott, Lacan … Not everyone’s leisure reading, but I’m fascinated. You mentioned that your grandparents worked with Robert Byrd — in what capacity? Were they friends? My grandparents worked with Robert Byrd to design the house they wanted. It looked like an out-sized Tudor ranch house — L.A. qua London — with a lot of playful details. Byrd was a renowned architect at the time, and my grandparents had the money to be extravagant. They didn’t for long, but in 1950 they could request any fancy, or luxury: Windows made of bottle bottoms. Actual bird houses built into the house, under the eaves. My mother’s bedroom had a copper-hooded fireplace, with a delft tile hearth. The living room fireplace had a wood-box built into an adjacent wall, with one door inside the house and another outside, so you didn’t have to carry wood through the house. In Los Angeles, we burned a cord of wood every “winter.” My grandparents hated to be cold, and the flagstone floors had hot water pipes running underneath them, so with a flip of a switch, they were soon warm beneath your feet. On Sunset: A Memoir In the tradition of The Hare with Amber Eyes and Running in the Family, a memoir of the author’s upbringing by her grandparents in a fading mansion above Sunset Boulevard — a childhood at once privileged and unusual, filled with the mementos and echoes of their impossibly exotic and peripatetic lives. “Stunning … This is Kathryn Harrison in top form.” –Augusten Burroughs “Transfixing… Fairy-tale fascinating, profoundly revealing of cultural divisions, and brilliantly and wittily told … Harrison’s entrancing look-back casts light on resonant swaths of history.” —Donna Seaman, Booklist “Evocative and tender, this delightful memoir pairs the distant past with a safe and sacred time in the author’s young life.” http://www.kathrynharrison.com/ Kathryn Harrison writer writer Kathryn Harrison Anna Angrick Art Jared Pearce Poetry writdisord The Writing Disorder is a quarterly literary journal.

If you see something you like, click on the cover art or link to purchase it from Amazon, and be sure to share each week’s column on social media with your friends. Pick of the Week: “Smallfoot” When the trailer for “Smallfoot” first debuted, it looked like yet another throwaway animated film that would be soon forgotten, and to be fair, that’s pretty much exactly what happened. But while the movie pales in comparison to this year’s stronger animated fare, it’s much better than expected thanks to a solid voice cast led by Channing Tatum, Zendaya and James Corden as well as several great musical numbers, including a reworked version of Queen and David Bowie’s “Under Pressure.” Though there’s nothing too extraordinary about “Smallfoot” from a narrative standpoint, it’s a cute and harmless adventure film that contains some surprisingly heady lessons for its young audience about tribalism, blind faith and the importance of asking questions. Extras include a making-of featurette, an interactive sing-along option, the new mini-movie “Super Soozie” and more. FINAL VERDICT: RENT Also Out This Week: “Lizzie” — The legend of the Lizzie Borden murders has captivated audiences for decades, but no one has succeeded in making an interesting movie or TV show about the grisly events, and unfortunately, that includes this drab rendition from director Craig William Macneill, who reimagines the story as a lesbian feminist revenge tale. Though Chloë Sevigny (as the title character) and Kristen Stewart (as the Borden family’s housemaid) both turn in good performances, they’re wasted on an otherwise lackluster script, which fails to hold your interest for large stretches of time. Save for the murders themselves, “Lizzie” is an incredibly boring period film that feels more like the ramblings of a conspiracy theorist than anything based in fact. Extras include a behind-the-scenes featurette. FINAL VERDICT: SKIP “I Still See You” — This YA supernatural thriller based on Daniel Waters’ 2012 novel, “Break My Heart 1,000 Times,” is as lifeless as the ghosts that inhabit the small town at the center of the story. Though the initial premise is intriguing, the movie doesn’t really do anything with it, eventually devolving into a generic murder mystery filled with shaky logic, constantly changing rules whenever the plot requires it and two of the dullest performances of the year. Bella Thorne and Richard Harmon really are that dreadful, although they’re not entirely to blame for being unable to feign interest in such a lazy and poorly executed film. Extras include an audio commentary by director Scott Speer and actor Bella Thorne, as well as a pair of production featurettes and some deleted scenes. FINAL VERDICT: SKIP Tags: Blu Tuesday, I Still See You, Lizzie, new Blu-rays, Smallfoot Jason Zingale A lover of film and the art of debate, Jason doesn’t like to be wrong, which is why he became a movie critic.

Labarbera and his D List hate group (which recently lost it’s 501c from the IRS) Americans For the Truth About Homosexuality have to try harder than the A List haters to get noticed, so Pete’s idea? Let’s give a humanitarian award to a monster! LaBarbera and his group awraded anti-gay activist Scott Lively, the “American Truth Teller Award” for his tireless efforts to combat the greatest “existential threat to Christian civilization around the world.” (Thats us btw) Here’s some of what earned Lively his humanitarian” award. Scott Lively journeyed to Uganda in 2009 with other U.S. evangelical gay bashers to stage a “Seminar on Exposing the Homosexual Agenda” even though homosexuality was already illegal in that nation. Lively helped stoke anti-gay animus by playing the “child molestation” card, asserting that gays are “looking for other people to prey upon, and that when they see someone from a broken home, it’s like they have a flashing neon sign over their head … male homosexuality has not traditionally been adult to adult, it’s been adult to teenager. … The gay movement is an evil institution.” It was following Lively’s “seminar” that legislation was introduced into the Ugandan parliament that would impose the death penalty for so-called “aggravated homosexuality.” All gay meetings would be banned under this draconian measure, and heterosexuals could be jailed as well for any advocacy of homosexuality or defense of gay people. Lively has supported this further criminalizing of homosexuality, even as some evangelicals like Rick Warren have distanced themselves from it. (Lively advised against death sentences for Ugandan gays, but only because it might result in “public sympathy” for them; he prefers forced “rehabilitation.”) Peter LaBarbera and Scott Lively two “straight” men who are obsessed with homosexuality; The relevency oi this award is the same if the KKK decided to award the “Pioneering Vision” award to it’s best white supremacist. In other words, it don’t mean jack shit! (But I do wonder who lifted Lively’s luggage in Uganda?)

Ill. Independent Online reports that the South African government has overturned a decision made under ex-president Thabo Mbeki not to support class action for apartheid reparations from eight US- based companies, Business Report said on Thursday. Justice Minister Jeff Radebe has written a letter to the presiding judge in Khulumani v. Barclays National Bank Ltd., et al, MDL No. 02-md-1499 (S.D.N.Y.), to announce that President Jacob Zuma's government would support the lawsuit brought by Khulumani Support Group. This was in contrast with a letter written by his predecessor, Penuell Maduna, to the court in July 2003, which said the state would oppose Khulumani's action because it would "discourage much-needed foreign investment". Justice Radebe said the government would like to resolve the matter outside the courts. The companies being sued by Khulumani and 13 individuals that did business in South Africa during the apartheid era are: -- Barclays, -- Daimler, -- Ford, -- Fujitsu, -- General Motors, -- IBM, -- Rheinmetall and -- UBS. These conglomerates stand accused of aiding and abetting apartheid acts by doing business with the apartheid government. Khulumani welcomed the government's new decision. "This represents a very significant shift from the government's 2003 position that (it) is not and will not be party to litigation' against companies that did business with and in South Africa during the apartheid period," Khulumani said. Khulumani Support Group maintains a Web site at: http://www.khulumani.net/ A putative class action complaint, entitled Police & Fire Retirement System of the City of Detroit v. IndyMac MBS, Inc., et al., is pending. On May 14, 2009, Bank of America Corporation, Countrywide Securities Corporation, IndyMac MBS, IndyMac ABS, and other underwriters and individuals, were named as defendants in the complaint filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. The allegations, claims, and remedies sought in the case are substantially similar to those in the IBEW Local 103 case, which was removed to the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. No further details on the case were provided in the company's Aug. 7, 2009 Form 10-Q filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for the quarter ended June 30, 2009.

Bank of America Corporation and other underwriters and individuals are named as defendants in a putative class action complaint filed on June 29, 2009, in the U.S. District Court for The complaint is Wyoming State Treasurer, et al. v. John Olinski, The company did not disclose further details on the case in its Alison Bell at The Sydney Morning Herald reports that BankWest may face a class action lawsuit by commercial loan customers angry over changes that the Commonwealth Bank of Australia subsidiary made to their lending facilities last year. Property industry participant Guy Goldrick said on Thursday that he had received a "huge" number of responses to his advertisement in The Australian Financial Review last week asking BankWest's commercial customers that had loans called up in the past 12 months to contact him. "The responses so far have hugely exceeded my expectations," Mr. Goldrick told AAP. Mr. Goldrick said the aggrieved customers had loans from $2 million to "well above" $50 million and were involved in the construction, property development and wider commercial sectors. Mr. Goldrick said he was in discussions with several legal firms and had sourced a funder for the proposed class action but declined to comment on their identity. He also declined to discuss the substance of the allegations. Ms. Bell's full report is available at http://is.gd/2Q2Ls The plaintiffs' appeal of the dismissal of their second amended class-action complaint against Brocade Communications Systems, Inc. remains pending, according to the company's Aug. 31, 2009, for the quarter ended Aug. 1, 2009. On Oct. 23, 2007, a class-action complaint was filed against Brocade and certain of its former officers and current and former directors. This action was filed in the California Superior Court in Santa Clara County on behalf of individuals who owned Brocade stock between Feb. 21, 2001 and May 16, 2005. The complaint generally alleges that Brocade and the individual defendants breached the duty of disclosure by failing to disclose alleged wrongful conduct, including conduct complained of in the securities litigation, and seeks unspecified monetary damages and other relief against the defendants. On Nov. 26, 2007, this action was removed from State Court to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. On Dec. 3, 2007, Brocade filed a motion to dismiss the action in its entirety on the ground that it is preempted by the Securities Litigation Uniform Standards Act of 1998. On March 6, 2008, Brocade's motion to dismiss was denied and the case was remanded to State Court. On May 29, 2008, Brocade filed a demurrer to the complaint. On July 10, 2008, plaintiffs filed an amended complaint and Brocade filed a demurrer to the amended complaint on Aug. 4, 2008. On Sept. 12, 2008, Brocade's demurrer was granted and the amended complaint was dismissed with leave to amend. On Oct. 15, 2008, plaintiffs filed a second amended complaint. The second amended complaint generally alleges that Brocade and the individual defendants violated or conspired to violate the Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act and seeks unspecified monetary damages and other relief against the defendants. Brocade filed a motion to dismiss the second amended complaint on Nov. 17, 2008. On Jan. 30, 2009, the Court granted Brocade's motion and, on March 3, 2009, the Court dismissed the complaint with prejudice. On May 14, 2009, Plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal.

The claims in an amended and consolidated class action complaint against Fairfax Financial Holdings Limited are at a preliminary During 2006, several lawsuits seeking class action status were filed against Fairfax and certain of the company's officers and directors in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. The Court made an order consolidating the various pending lawsuits and granted the single remaining motion for appointment as lead plaintiffs. The Court also issued orders approving scheduling stipulations filed by the parties to the consolidated lawsuit. On Feb. 8, 2007, the lead plaintiffs filed an amended consolidated complaint, which states that the lead plaintiffs seek to represent a class of all purchasers and acquirers of securities of Fairfax between May 21, 2003 and March 22, 2006 inclusive. The amended consolidated complaint names as defendants Fairfax, certain of the company's officers and directors, OdysseyRe and its auditors. The amended consolidated complaint alleges that the defendants violated U.S. federal securities laws by making material misstatements or failing to disclose certain material information regarding, among other things, Fairfax's and OdysseyRe's assets, earnings, losses, financial condition, and internal financial controls. The amended consolidated complaint seeks, among other things, certification of the putative class; unspecified compensatory damages (including interest); unspecified monetary restitution; unspecified extraordinary, equitable and/or injunctive relief; and costs (including reasonable attorneys' fees). Pursuant to the scheduling stipulations, the various defendants filed their respective motions to dismiss the amended consolidated complaint, the lead plaintiffs filed their oppositions thereto, the defendants filed their replies to those oppositions and the motions to dismiss were argued before the Court in December 2007. The Court has not yet issued a ruling on these motions, according to the company's Form F-10 Registration Statement filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission dated Aug. 31, 2009. Fairfax Financial Holdings Limited -- http://www.fairfax.ca/-- is a financial services holding company which, through its subsidiaries, is engaged in property and casualty insurance and reinsurance and investment management. Harris Corporation's former subsidiary, Harris Stratex Networks, Inc., intends to defend Norfolk County Retirement System's federal securities class action complaint, according to the company's Aug. 31, 2009 Form 10-K filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for the fiscal year ended July 3, 2009. HSTX and certain of its current and former officers and directors, including certain current Harris officers, were named as defendants in a federal securities class action complaint filed on Sept. 15, 2008, in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware by plaintiff Norfolk County Retirement System on behalf of an alleged class of purchasers of HSTX securities from Jan. 29, 2007, to July 30, 2008, including shareholders of Stratex Networks, Inc. who exchanged shares of Stratex for shares of HSTX as part of the combination between Stratex and the company's former Microwave Communications Division to form HSTX. Similar complaints were filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware on Oct. 6, 2008, and October 30, 2008. The complaints were consolidated in a slightly expanded complaint filed on July 29, 2009 that adds Harris Corporation and Ernst & Young LLP as defendants. This action relates to public disclosures made by HSTX on Jan. 30, 2007, and July 30, 2008, which included the restatement of HSTX's financial statements for the first three fiscal quarters of its fiscal 2008 (the quarters ended March 28, 2008, Dec. 28, 2007 and Sept. 28, 2007) and for its fiscal years ended June 29, 2007, June 30, 2006 and July 1, 2005 due to accounting errors. The consolidated complaint alleges violations of Section 10(b) and Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act and of Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, as well as violations of Section 11 and Section 15 of the Securities Act, and seeks, among other relief, determinations that the action is a proper class action, unspecified compensatory damages and reasonable attorneys' fees and costs.

Maldonado Medical, a Durable Medical Equipment provider servicing the southwestern United States, in continuing its commitment to physicians, patients and the organized medical community, has joined the American Medical Association and other physician associations from several states in filing a nationwide consolidated class action lawsuit. This lawsuit is against the following health insurers: Aetna Inc., Cigna Corp. and other co- conspirators such as Wellpoint, Inc., Oxford Health Plans, Health Net, Inc., and The Health Insurance Association of America over the use of a 'rigged' database used to underpay physicians, providers and patients for more than a decade. This nationwide class action is brought on behalf of physicians, subscribers, DME providers and other non-physician providers, as well as the American Medical Association and several state medical associations, including the Medical Society of New Jersey, the Medical Society of the State of New York, the California Medical Society, the Connecticut State Medical Society, the Texas Medical Association, and the North Carolina Medical Society. These organized medical communities have been forced to absorb as much as 28% reduction of the costs of treatments and services provided based on the Usual, Customary and Reasonable (UCR) allowable rates. This in turn diminishes the necessary resources to run their health care practices and stands in the way of the patient-physician relationship. "Being a Plaintiff in this suit is unprecedented in the Durable Medical Equipment industry," states Brandon Maxon Maldonado, whom along with his brother Gregory Maxon Maldonado, own and operate Maldonado Medical. In an ongoing effort to increase reimbursement rates for physicians, Maldonado Medical is helping to spearhead efforts to keep physicians from being systematically trampled into submission and forced to accept the health insurance industry's "Out of Network" UCR reimbursement rates. Maldonado Medical has also been fighting other types of health insurers' fraudulent claims practices since 2003. "We can no longer ignore the improper business practices of health insurers who decide to play by their own rules without any regard to patients, or the legitimate costs required to care for them," said AMA President Nancy H. Nielsen, M.D. "We have evidence that multiple health insurance companies have attempted to put us out of business but we have taken a stand, both for the rights of our patients and physicians, as well as our own", says Brandon Maxon Maldonado. With health insurance reform in the forefront of the American political landscape, health insurance companies have spent millions of dollars trying to convince people that patient care is of the utmost importance. The real fact is that the health insurance industry continues to earn billions of dollars and record profits at the expense of its physicians and patients. According to New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo, health insurance companies have been able to defraud physician's reimbursements by up to 28% nationwide. "This class action is about a secret and intentionally concealed agreement among health insurers to depress reimbursements, thereby raising the cost of reimbursed health care services for consumers and providers." (As outlined in the consolidated class action filed on July 1, 2009 in US State District Court, District of New Jersey.) When plaintiffs such as Maldonado Medical bring class action lawsuits, they are often taking on the wealthiest corporations in the world. These corporations will allocate massive amounts of their resources into the effort to prevent any recovery or meaningful change in practices. The Maldonado Medical legal team is also exploring options to participate in various other class action lawsuits. Examples of other lawsuits may include the practice of using post-payment audit processes to place pressure on providers. The insurer's intention is to claim that the providers have been overpaid in the past for services that are not deemed to be covered under its health care policies for various reasons. This includes stating that the services are purportedly experimental and/or investigational. They feel this will intimidate physicians into not using "Out of Network" benefits that patients have paid substantial amounts for. "Health Insurance companies consistently invalidate acceptable medical procedures thus making the patient responsible for their health care costs," states Gregory Maxon Maldonado. "In making demands like this, health insurance companies fail to provide even minimal due process, which is required under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA), before health insurance companies can make any unfavorable health benefit determinations. These health insurance companies continue to violate the legal rights of physicians, non-physician providers and the premium paying patients." "We are involved in this historic class action lawsuit to assist physicians and patients in defending themselves. We have expended enormous resources to create a proprietary database of thousands of violations of ERISA and to create transparency in this corrupt system of reimbursement schedules with the intent to change the system in making it more fair for doctors and patients," says Brandon Maxon Maldonado. On June 15, 2009, in the face of overwhelming accusation and historical precedence, a federal judge ordered the Aetna class action case to a preliminary settlement conference. It is at this conference where Maldonado Medical, along with the American Medical Association and associated plaintiffs, will attempt to reform "Out of Network" reimbursement procedures and provide physicians, non-physician providers and subscribers the recompense that is long overdue from these fraudulent and conspiratorial acts.

Beginning on June 5, 2008, the Company and certain of its present and former officers and/or directors were named as defendants in two putative securities class actions filed in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee. On Aug. 8, 2008, the court ordered the consolidation of the two related cases, appointed lead plaintiff and lead plaintiff's counsel, and granted lead plaintiff leave to file a consolidated amended complaint. The amended complaint, filed on Sept. 22, 2008, alleges that the Company and the individual defendants violated Sections 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and that the individual defendants violated Section 20(a) of the Act as "control persons" of Healthways. The amended complaint further alleges that certain of the individual defendants also violated Section 20A of the Act based on their stock sales. The plaintiff purports to bring these claims for unspecified monetary damages on behalf of a class of investors who purchased Healthways stock between July 5, 2007 and Aug. 25, 2008. In support of these claims, plaintiff alleges generally that, during the proposed class period, the Company made misleading statements and omitted material information regarding: -- the purported loss or restructuring of certain contracts with customers, -- the Company's participation in the Medicare Health Support pilot program for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, and -- the Company's guidance for fiscal year 2008. Defendants filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint on Nov. 12, 2008. On March 9, 2009, the Court denied the defendants' motion to dismiss. The parties have exchanged discovery requests, and the discovery phase of the lawsuit is presently underway, according to the company's Aug. 7, 2009 Form 10-Q filing with the U.S. Healthways, Inc. -- http://www.healthways.com/-- provides specialized, Health and Care Support solutions to help people maintain or improve their health, and as a result, reduce overall healthcare costs. The company delivers its programs to customers, which include health plans, governments, employers, and hospitals, in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and Guam. Its programs focus on prevention, education, physical fitness, health coaching, behavior change and evidence-based medicine to drive adherence to proven standards of care, medications and physicians' plans of care. A motion to dismiss for failure to prosecute a purported class- action lawsuit against Healthways, Inc. and certain of its directors and officers alleging violations of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act is pending. On July 31, 2008, the purported class-action suit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee against Healthways and certain of its directors and officers alleging breaches of fiduciary duties to participants in the Company's 401(k) plan. The central allegation is that Company stock was an imprudent investment option for the 401(k) plan. The named defendants are: the Company, Board of Directors, certain officers, and members of the Investment Committee charged with administering the 401(k) plan. The complaint was amended on Sept. 29, 2008. The amended complaint alleges that the defendants violated ERISA by failing to remove the Company stock fund from the 401(k) plan when it allegedly became an imprudent investment, by failing to disclose adequately the risks and results of the Medicare Health Support (MHS) pilot program to 401(k) plan participants, and by failing to seek independent advice as to whether to continue to permit the plan to hold Company stock. It further alleges that the Company and its directors should have been more closely monitoring the Investment Committee and other plan fiduciaries. The amended complaint seeks damages in an undisclosed amount and other equitable relief. Defendants filed a motion to dismiss on Oct. 29, 2008. On Jan. 28, 2009, the Court granted the defendants' motion to dismiss the plaintiff's claims for breach of the duty to disclose with regard to any non-public information and information beyond the specific disclosure requirements of ERISA and denied Defendants' motion to dismiss as to the remainder of the plaintiff's claims. A period of discovery ensued. On May 12, 2009, the plaintiff filed a motion for class certification. After the plaintiff did not appear for his scheduled deposition, the Court issued an Order on July 10, 2009, warning the plaintiff that his failure to participate in the lawsuit could result in sanctions, including but not limited to dismissal. After the plaintiff's failure to participate continued, on July 23, 2009, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss for failure to prosecute the action, according to the company's Aug. 7, 2009 Form 10-Q filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for the quarter ended June 30, 2009. The U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey's approval of the settlement of a consolidated putative class action against Marsh & McLennan Cos., Inc. is being appealed. Various putative class actions that were consolidated into two actions in New Jersey included claims against MMC, its subsidiary, Marsh Inc., and certain Marsh subsidiaries. One of the actions was filed on behalf of a purported class of "commercial" policyholders and the second on behalf of a purported class of "employee benefit" policyholders. In February 2009, the trial court approved a settlement of the claims against MMC, Marsh and certain Marsh subsidiaries in both actions, according to the company's Aug. 7, 2009, Form 10-Q Marsh & McLennan Cos., Inc. -- http://www.mmc.com/-- is a global professional services firm providing advice and solutions in the areas of risk, strategy and human capital. It is the parent company of a number of risk experts and specialty consultants, including Marsh Inc., the insurance broker, intermediary and risk advisor; Guy Carpenter & Co., the risk and reinsurance specialist; Kroll Inc., the risk consulting firm; Mercer, the provider of human resources and related financial advice and services; and Oliver Wyman Group, the management consultancy. MMC provides analysis, advice and transactional capabilities to clients in more than 100 countries. MMC conducts business through three operating segments: Risk and Insurance Services, Consulting and Risk Consulting and Marsh & McLennan Cos., Inc., continues to face putative class actions by policyholders relating to a civil complaint filed by the New York State Attorney General. Among other things, the NYAG Lawsuit alleged that Marsh's use of market service agreements with various insurance companies entailed fraudulent business practices, bid-rigging, illegal restraint of trade and other statutory violations. Fifteen actions instituted by individual policyholders and others are pending in federal and state courts relating to matters alleged in the NYAG Lawsuit. Two putative class or representative actions on behalf of policyholders are pending in state courts, and one putative class action is pending in Canada. No further details were provided in the company's Aug. 7, 2009, Discovery in a purported securities class action against Marsh & McLennan Cos., Inc., and its subsidiary, Marsh Inc., and certain of their former officers is ongoing in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. Plaintiffs make factual allegations similar to those asserted in the New York Attorney General's lawsuit, including that MMC artificially inflated its share price by making misrepresentations and omissions relating to Marsh's market service agreements and business practices. Plaintiffs also allege that MMC failed to disclose alleged anti- competitive and illegal practices at Marsh, such as "bid-rigging" and soliciting fictitious quotes. Plaintiffs allege violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933 and seek unspecified damages. Trial is scheduled for early 2010, according to the company's Aug. 7, 2009, Form 10-Q filing with the U.S. Securities and Discovery is underway in the purported class action against Marsh & McLennan Cos., Inc., alleging the Employee Retirement Income Security Act violations. A purported ERISA class action is pending against MMC and various current and former employees, officers and directors in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on behalf of participants and beneficiaries of an MMC retirement plan. The complaint alleges, among other things, that in light of the alleged misconduct described in the New York Attorney General's lawsuit, the defendants knew or should have known that the investment of the plan's assets in MMC stock was imprudent, that certain defendants failed to provide plan participants with complete and accurate information about MMC stock, that certain defendants responsible for selecting, removing and monitoring other fiduciaries did not comply with ERISA, and that MMC knowingly participated in other defendants' breaches of fiduciary duties. The complaint seeks, among other things, unspecified compensatory damages, injunctive relief and attorneys' fees and costs. A putative class action purporting to assert derivative claims on behalf of all Putnam LLC mutual funds remains ongoing, according to Marsh & McLennan Cos., Inc.'s Aug. 7, 2009, Form 10-Q filing Two putative class actions by investors in certain Putnam Funds are pending against Putnam. One action asserts claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and Section 36(b) of the Investment Company Act of 1940. The other action purports to assert derivative claims on behalf of all Putnam Funds under Section 36(b) of the Investment Company Both suits seek to recover unspecified damages allegedly suffered by the Putnam Funds and their investors as a result of purported market-timing and late trading activity in certain Putnam Funds. In December 2008 and April 2009, the court granted Putnam's motion for summary judgment in the action relating to securities claims, and the plaintiffs have filed an appeal. In the derivative action, the court denied Putnam's motion for summary judgment. On Aug. 3, 2007, Great-West Lifeco Inc. completed its purchase of Putnam Investments Trust. Under the terms of the stock purchase agreement with GWL, MMC agreed to indemnify GWL in the future with respect to certain Putnam-related litigation and regulatory Marsh & McLennan Cos., Inc., Putnam LLC and certain of their current and former officers, directors and employees remain defendants in purported Employee Retirement Income Security Act class actions. One class action was brought by participants in an MMC retirement plan and the other case was brought by participants in a Putnam retirement plan. The actions allege, among other things, that, in view of the market-timing that was allegedly allowed to occur at Putnam, the investment of the plans' funds in MMC stock and the Putnam Funds was imprudent and constituted a breach of fiduciary duties to plan participants. Both actions seek unspecified damages and equitable relief. Following a September 2006 dismissal of the action regarding the Putnam plan, the plaintiff appealed the decision to the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals. In June 2008, the appellate court reversed the dismissal and remanded the case for further proceedings, according to the company's Aug. 7, 2009, Form 10-Q filing with the U.S. Securities A purported class action, Fred C. Dames Funeral Homes, Inc., et al. v. Daniel W. Hynes, the Illinois Office of the Comptroller, et al., is pending, according to Merrill Lynch & Co. Inc.'s Aug. 7, 2009, Form 10-Q filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for the quarter ended June 30, 2009. On July 7, 2009, the class action was filed in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois on behalf of certain funeral directors. On May 18, 2009, the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation Division of Insurance and Merrill Lynch Life Agency, Inc. entered into a Stipulation and Consent Order by which MLLA agreed, among other things, to contribute $18 million to a Fund to benefit certain affected purchasers of pre-need funeral contracts and funeral directors. The plaintiffs are seeking to void the Consent Order in its entirety, and are asking for a declaratory judgment against the Illinois Comptroller, the Department, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, MLLA and Merrill Lynch Bank & Trust Co., FSB, that only certain terms of the Consent Order are unenforceable, an injunction against the Department and the Illinois Comptroller from taking further action, and recovery of attorneys' fees in pursuing the action. Merrill Lynch & Co. Inc., together with its subsidiaries, provide investment, financing, insurance, and related services to individuals and institutions on a global basis through its broker, dealer, banking and other financial services subsidiaries. David Tipsword as Trustee of Mildred E. Tipsword Trust, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated v. I.F.D.A. Services Inc., et al., is pending, according to Merrill Lynch & Co. Inc.'s Aug. 7, 2009, Form 10-Q filing with the U.S. On June 16, 2009, the purported class action on behalf of a proposed class of pre-need contract holders was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Illinois against Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, among other defendants. The complaint alleges that MLPF&S breached purported fiduciary duties and committed negligence. A purported class action on behalf of a proposed class of funeral directors filed on June 30, 2009, is pending against Merrill Lynch & Co. Inc. entities. The action, Clancy-Gernon Funeral Home, Inc., et al. v. MLPF&S, et al., was filed in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, alleging that Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, Merrill Lynch Life Agency, Inc., among other defendants, committed consumer fraud, civil conspiracy, unjust enrichment, and conversion. In each of these lawsuits, plaintiffs seek unspecified compensatory and punitive damages, among other relief, according to the company's Aug. 7, 2009, Form 10-Q filing with the U.S. Last week, Daniel Wise at the New York Law Journal reports, the Honorable Thomas C. Platt entered a single-sentence order disqualifying Debevoise & Plimpton as counsel for MetLife in the $8 billion class action proceeding entitled In re MetLife Demutualization, Case No. 00-cv-2258 (E.D.N.Y.). MetLife ran to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit without delay. The Second Circuit directed expedited briefing, with MetLife's reply brief due by 3:00 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 14. Jury selection was scheduled to start tomorrow in the District Court. The trail won't start until the disqualification issue is resolved. In disqualifying Debevoise, Judge Platt agreed with the class' arguments that the firm had an impermissible dual representation because it was counsel to MetLife and the policyholders prior to the conversion, but afterwards, when the two became adversaries, it continued to represent MetLife. The class also contended that disqualification was required because the class had listed four Debevoise lawyers, three of whom had worked on the conversion litigation, as possible witnesses. Debevoise has been MetLife's counsel for more than nine years. Teresa Wynn Rosenborough, Esq., Senior Chief Litigation Counsel at MetLife, says there is "no likelihood" that any of the potential Debevoise witnesses would deliver testimony damaging to MetLife, but if the lawyers were "compromised" during trial, the problem could be "dealt with then." The policyholder class, represented by Jared B. Stamell, Esq., at Stamell & Schager, claims that policyholders were damaged by the prospectus that Debevoise prepared to solicit their votes in favor of the conversion. The class contends that the prospectus fraudulently omitted information that would have made it clear that the policyholders would lose more than they would gain in the conversion. Mr. Wise's full story is available at http://is.gd/2S5bv The class-action lawsuit filed by various California consumers against NBTY, Inc.'s subsidiary, Rexall Sundown, Inc. and certain of its subsidiaries remains stayed. Rexall, and certain of its subsidiaries are defendants in the class-action lawsuit brought in 2002, on behalf of all California consumers who bought various nutrition bars. The plaintiffs allege misbranding of nutrition bars and violations of California unfair competition statutes, misleading advertising and other similar causes of action. They seek restitution, legal fees and injunctive relief. In December 2007, while Rexall's and the other defendants' renewed motion for judgment on the pleadings was pending, the Court again stayed the case for all purposes, pending rulings on other relevant cases before the California Supreme Court. The California Supreme Court issued a ruling in those other cases on Feb. 11, 2008. The parties to those other cases filed a petition for certiorari with the U.S. Supreme Court. That petition was denied on Jan. 12, 2009. In light of still more relevant cases pending before the California Supreme Court, all parties to this case have agreed that the stay should remain in place, according to the company's NBTY, Inc. -- http://www.nbty.com/-- is a vertically integrated manufacturer, marketer and retailer of a line of nutritional supplements in the United States and throughout the world.

Because these allegations are virtually identical to allegations made in a putative nationwide class-action previously filed in California, the company moved to dismiss or stay the New Jersey action pending the outcome of the California action. The motion was granted, and the New Jersey action is stayed at The California action against Met-Rx had been dismissed in 2008.

McCune, Esq. David C. Wright, Esq. McCune Wright LLP 2068 Orange Tree Lane, Suite 216 Nick McCann at Courthouse News Service reports that the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit upheld the dismissal of a class action accusing police in Charlottesville, Va., of illegally seizing DNA evidence from black people who matched the description of a serial rapist. Larry Monroe said police officers violated his Fourth and 14th Amendment rights by questioning him in the 2002 investigation of a serial rapist. Officers allegedly stopped or questioned nearly 200 young black men over several years, looking for a match to the suspect, who was described as a "youthful-looking black male." Mr. Monroe said this violated his equal-protection rights, because police officers "do not perform such 'dragnet' stops of individuals when the victim describes an assailant as white." He also argued that an officer's request for a DNA sample constituted an illegal seizure. A federal judge in Virginia dismissed his equal-protection claims in 2007, ruling that the government does not exclusively classify people by race, and that the police based their investigation solely on victims' physical description of the suspect. The lower court also ruled that because Mr. Monroe had agreed to the DNA sample, it wasn't an illegal seizure. On appeal, Mr. Monroe argued that poor relations between police and minority communities made young men believe that the requests for DNA samples were mandatory. The Richmond-based appeals court upheld both the lower court's refusal to grant class-action status and its decision to dismiss the constitutional claims. Judge Beam cited the Supreme Court's rejection of a racial- profiling claim over the detention and questioning of thousands of young Arab-Muslim men following the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Because the attacks were carried about by people matching that specific description, the high court had reasoned, investigations "would produce a disparate, incidental impact on Arab Muslims, even though the purpose of the policy was to target neither Arabs nor Muslims." Likewise, the court concluded, Charlottesville police questioned Mr. Monroe and others in a "narrowly tailored" way based on victims' descriptions, which had an "incidental impact" on local black men.

A copy of the Fourth Circuit's Opinion is available at: http://pacer.ca4.uscourts.gov/opinion.pdf/081334.P.pdf VistaPrint USA, Inc., pursues a motion to dismiss a consolidated purported class action complaint, according to VistaPrint,N.V.'s Aug. 31, 2009, Form 10-K filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009. Between July 29, 2008, and Sept. 11, 2008, a total of seven purported class action lawsuits were filed against VistaPrint USA, Inc., VistaPrint Corp. and/or Vistaprint Limited., and two third party merchants, in U.S. Federal District Court in six different states, asserting substantially identical claims alleging that the defendants violated certain Federal and state consumer protection laws in connection with the offer of membership discount programs on the company's Vistaprint.com The plaintiffs allege, among other things, that after ordering products on the company's Vistaprint.com website they were enrolled in certain membership discount programs and that monthly subscription fees for the programs were subsequently charged directly to their credit or debit cards, in each case purportedly without their knowledge or authorization. The plaintiffs are seeking recovery of an unspecified amount of damages, including statutory and punitive damages, together with interest and legal costs, and are also seeking to prevent us and the merchants from engaging in similar practices in the future. The seven purported class action lawsuits have been transferred to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas for coordinated pretrial proceedings. On April 17, 2009, VistaPrint USA filed a Motion to Dismiss the Consolidated Complaint, and on July 2, 2009 the Plaintiffs filed an Opposition to VistaPrint USA's Motion to Dismiss.

Maria Dinzeo at Courthouse News Service reports that the Honorable Phyllis J. Hamilton heard arguments last week in In re Online DVD Rental Antitrust litigation, MDL No. 2029; Master File No. 09-cv-02029 (N.D. Calif.), on Netflix and WalMart's request to dismiss an antitrust class action that claims they conspired to charge higher prices for Netflix's online DVD rental service, which led Blockbuster to raise its prices too. "The real question is whether you can prove that Blockbuster's response was connected to this alleged conspiracy," U.S. District Judge Phyllis Hamilton told class attorney Robert Abrams, Esq. Judge Hamilton said she was more concerned about the directness of the class's alleged injury, since she agreed that customers had been hurt by the higher prices. The class claims that before WalMart and Netflix colluded, they had been in a three-way price war with Blockbuster. Mr. Abrams said that sometime in January 2005, Netflix CEO Reed Hastings invited Wal-Mart.com CEO John Fleming to dinner, where they discussed their companies' DVD sales and rental businesses. "Our allegation is that this was when they began the conspiracy," Mr. Abrams said. Mr. Abrams claimed the companies agreed that Netflix would eschew DVD sales if WalMart would stay away from online DVD rentals. He pointed out that neither company dropped their prices after that meeting and that in June 2005, WalMart dropped out of the online DVD rental market entirely. In May 2005, Blockbuster announced that it would begin "testing" a price increase from $14.99 to $17.99 for a three-movie plan, which eventually became permanent. "This conspiracy is the material cause of Blockbuster's prices going up," Mr. Abrams said. "Wal-Mart dropping out is what allowed them to do it. They were a key competitor. Get them out and you're left with a market of only Netflix and Blockbuster." But defendants' attorney Jonathan Jacobson, Esq., claims the class does not have standing because they were only indirectly injured by what he called "a promotion agreement" between the companies. That agreement allowed WalMart DVD rental customers to switch to Netflix at the same subscription cost. "The plaintiffs' series of facts is plainly speculative and wrong," Mr. Jacobson said. Judge Hamilton said that whether the class has standing "is a tough question, just like with all these other antitrust cases you all keep bringing me. I'll have to wade through the case and figure out which direction it should go." Netflix, Inc., is represented by: Jonathan M.

SUSMAN GODFREY L.L.P. 1000 Louisiana Street, Suite 5100 E-mail: nmanne@susmangodfrey.com A putative class action complaint against Zumiez Inc. was dismissed in March 2009, according to the company's Aug. 28, 2009, Form 10-Q filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for the quarter ended Aug. 1, 2009. On Dec. 10, 2007, the complaint was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington against the company and certain of its current and former directors and officers. The action was purported to be brought on behalf of a class of purchasers of the company's stock during the period March 14, 2007, to Jan. 4, 2008, and alleged that the defendants violated the federal securities laws during this period of time by, among other things, having made materially false or misleading statements and that the defendants engaged in insider trading. The defendants moved to dismiss all claims in October 2008. On March 30, 2009, the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington issued its ruling without oral argument, dismissing the case with prejudice. Zumiez Inc. -- http://www.zumiez.com/-- is a mall-based specialty retailer of action sports related apparel, footwear, equipment and accessories operating under the Zumiez brand name. As of Jan. 31, 2009, the company operated 343 stores primarily located in shopping malls, giving it a presence in 31 states. Zumiez Inc., on July 16, 2009, announced that the company had reached an agreement to settle a former employee's class action over unpaid overtime wages.

The law firm of Barroway Topaz Kessler Meltzer & Check, LLP, filed a class action lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois on behalf of purchasers of securities of Huron Consulting Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: HURN) between April 27, 2006, and July 31, 2009 inclusive.

The Complaint charges Huron and certain of its officers and directors with violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Huron is a consulting company formed by former partners of Arthur Andersen, LLP which claims to help clients comply with complex regulations, resolve disputes, recover from distress, leverage technology, and stimulate growth. More specifically, the Complaint alleges that the Company failed to disclose and misrepresented the following material adverse facts which were known to defendants or recklessly disregarded by them: (1) that since 2006, the Company had improperly accounted for earn-out payments made in connection with four acquisitions; (2) that as a result, the Company had overstated its net income and earnings per share for the affected periods, and had understated its non- cash compensation expenses; (3) that the Company's financial statements were not prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles; (4) that the Company lacked adequate internal and financial controls; and (5) that, as a result of the foregoing, the Company's financial statements were false and misleading at all relevant times. On July 31, 2009, the Company shocked investors when it announced that it would restate its financial results for fiscal years 2006 through 2008 and the first three months of 2009 due to the Company's failure to properly account for certain payments made in connection with four acquisitions. These payments were received by the sellers in connection with the sale of certain acquired businesses that were subsequently redistributed among themselves and to other select Huron employees. Under the accounting rules, these payments should have been classified as non-cash compensation expenses. Upon the release of this news, the Company's shares declined $30.66 per share, or 69.13 percent, to close on August 3, 2009 (the next trading day) at $13.69 per share, on unusually heavy trading volume.

__label__wiki	0.553172	0.553172	M. W. O Volume 400 - He Hate Me Big-Time Suspicions Flashback with me to the night of November 7th. About 10 PM, the networks called Florida for Gore. Reporters were summoned to Smirk's hotel. Reporters: Smirk, how does it feel to be the big loser? Smirk: I don't care what your projections say, I'll still win Florida ...and then he smirked for the camera. At the time, we thought it was just brainless, Texas bravado. Little did we know... It was all a fix, from the very beginning. -Poppy's CIA people, here to "assist" with carrying the votes -Jeb's cops stopping the black people from voting, -Christie Whitman helping to get the "bad people" off the voting rolls, -the voting machines in black counties that weren't tuned up -the Exit Polls showing Gore, but the "quick count" showing Smirk, -Katherine the Grate certifying the "quick count." -and then that fix of a sham put on by the Whore Court The fix was always in. To this day, there's been no mention of the box of ballots the Miami PD had stored in their evidence room. Even a damn small box could hold thousands of votes. And how could Smirk watch as every network call Florida for Gore, then stare into the camera and guarantee the viewers, "I'm going to win Florida." It was a fix, and the American voters were the victim of a screw job. Clinton May Be Called to Testify About Pardon Whore City - Formerly half-sane Sen. Arlen Specter (R-PA) is threatening to call Bill Clinton to testify So far, I like this story better than the "Paula Jones Lawsuit Dismissed" story. about his pardon of Marc Rich. Specter scheduled a Judiciary Committee hearing for Feb. 7 on the Rich pardon, already the subject of an investigation by the never-sane Dan Burton (R-Abandoned bastard son) due to start on Feb. 8. Whites-only tobacco whores have blasted the pardon, suggesting Clinton was swayed by contributions. Clinton said he acted on the legal merits of the case. "There well may be an invitation to Bill Clinton on the analogy of President Ford,'' Specter lied. referring to Ford's testimony to the House Judiciary Committee in October 1974 concerning his controversial pardon of former President Richard Nixon in the Watergate case. Yes, because when specifically asked in his VP confirmation hearings if he'd pardon the crook, Ford intentionally misled congress under oath when he testified "the country wouldn't stand for it." Since that statement had nothing to do with Clinton's cock, it was taken at face value. Besides, everyone knows what Clinton would to to anybody who tried to play word games with him in front of a live TV camera. Clinton makes me look worse than The Bird in a debate. How the media treats Democrats Clinton's leave with $190,000 and Reagan left with a $2,000,000 mansion Clinton Pardons Rich Felon who's lawyer and chief cheerleader is Dick Cheney's choice for Chief o' Staff Clinton's Vandalize White House but so far there's no evidence except the word of "unnamed" Smirk staffers. Colorful headlines, aren't they? But it's just the whore press, acting like your neighbor's bratty kids. Y'know, I have a few ideas on how to improve the American whore press. Rule Number One No more "The White House says." That building cannot speak. If Ari says it, say, "Ari said it." Rule Number Two Stop Protecting Sources who Lie You need your secret sources? Fine. Tell them you'll protect them as long as it's the truth. But when they feed you horseshit like the phony vandalism story, you should turn around and say, "Robert Parker of the White House Communications Office told me that big, fat lie." Why protect a source who lied to you? That would stop a whoooooole lot of this crap. Rule Number Three No More Reports from "AP" or "Reuters" I don't want to see one more story "by the AP" That's horseshit! You say, "This story is by William F. Jenkins in the New York Bureau of the AP," but these horseshit stories attibuted to thousand-member news organizations provides nothing more than an skirt for you lying whores to run under when the goddamn truth shows up. Rule Number Four No more of this Piggyback crap "AP reports that Matt Drudge is reporting..." is how cowards report the news. If you don't know it's true, let Drudge have the story until you can prove it, yourself. The New York Whore Times was once a great paper, until Matt Drudge starting making their editorial decisions for them. The "Old Grey Lady" is now the aging whore nobody wants. Rule Number Five Remember the first thing you learned in journalism class. I'm soooo tired of reading stories without the who, why, when, where and how. For Christ's sake, show the story to a friend before you file it. If your friend doesn't understand what you're trying to say, we can't either. Rule Number Six Use your fucking head. We have a thousand stories about "the vandalism the Clinton's did to the White House." No thought to the difference between an allegation and a fact. No thought to the motives of the lie-spreaders. No thought to asking for pictures. Is there not a goddamn camera in Washington DC? Christ, you reporters aren't fit to write high school football recaps. Don't you have even the least little bit of pride? Why don't you object to being Smirk's personal whores? There's a lot of other steps the whore press could take to clean up their tarnished reputations and slut-for-hire image around the world, but those six, easy steps would be a good start.

Because Hughes was a recluse in the 70s he was able to convince Time-Life Books that he had exclusive rights from Hughes to co-write his autobiography. Anyway, when news of the book (which was never published as the truth was revealed) was released by Time-Life, it worried Nixon who thought that there might be details of illegal loans to him in it: 'Nixon had dealt with Hughes before. In 1956 Hughes had 'loaned' then Vice-President Nixon's $205,000. The money was never paid back. Democratic campaigner Larry O'Brien made an issue of the loan which helped cost Nixon the Presidency in 1960 and the California Governorship in 1962. 'O'Brien was later hired as a political consultant by Hughes. In 1968 Hughes gave Nixon an illegal campaign donation of $200,000. But, by 1972, O'Brien was campaigning for Nixon's opponent George McGovern. 'Nixon fretted even after the hoax was revealed. Finally, burglars were sent to break into O'Brien's files...at the Watergate office building.'

I did a little digging on Neil Bush and look at the dollar amount this one savings and loan cost tax payers. I also read that the Fed didn't move in till the day after papa Bush was elected. Which makes me ask, "What did they know and when did they know it?" Another son of George Bush, Neil, plea bargained after the failure of Silverado Savings and Loan in Colorado. 45 Federal regulators shut down Silverado shortly after George Bush was elected president in 1988. Neil was a member of Silverado's board of directors from 1985 to 1988. "There was no conflict of interest," Neil told reporters. The Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) in Washington issued a notice of intent in January 1990 to hold a hearing on the failure of Silverado Banking Savings and Loan. The federal bailout cost United States taxpayers $1 billion. Neil responded to charges made in an OTS report by stating that he had "breached his fiduciary duty" to Silverado by engaging in unethical and illegal business deals while a board member of the Denver savings and loan. The report documented that Neil personally profited from questionable Silverado loans to his business partners, Ken Good and Bill Walters. Good and Walters later defaulted on $132 million in loans to Silverado, leaving the taxpayers to pick up the remains. http://www.bushboyzstolethevote.com/corruption.html http://www.blame-nader.com/ From: mmusselman@woh.rr.com Subject: Truth Hammer?

I'm mostly looking for a few laughs, but I'm surprised at how easily I can frame a question that renders a Republican speechless, yet I can't be shut up. It's a mystery, allright, but I take myself less seriously than the other know-it-alls. Keating Stories Frank Keating, the bribe-taking governor of Oklahoma, is in the news double today. Story one leads us into story two: 1. Bush tells Keating he was candidate for top positions Whore City — Smirk, who passed over Keating for VP and AG, assured the governor this week that he considered him a strong candidate for both positions and holds him in high esteem. Bush told Keating on Sunday that if he hadn’t chosen Snarl as his running mate, he would have picked him, Dan Mahoney, Keating’s communications director, said Friday. Gee, I wonder how many people have heard that lie? "Oh, it was always going to be you - until we chose the guy who actually got the job." Bush said in that same phone conversation that Keating’s acceptance of $250,000 in gifts from retired financier Jack Dreyfus was not a factor in the selection of VP or AG — both jobs for which Keating appeared at times to be the front-runner. Bush’s contacts were intended to patch up the relationship between the men— a relationship that had been damaged by leaks from Bush’s camp about the Dreyfus gifts to Keating. Keating has been criticized for taking the money from Dreyfus, of New York. Keating met Dreyfus in 1988 and has said that he helped set up meetings for him with federal and state prison officials, at which Dreyfus argued for giving Dilantin to inmates to keep them calm. Keating has said the money Dreyfus gave him was not a payment of any kind but a gift. Newsweek reported the gifts in early January, which incensed Keating, who thought Smirk leaked the information to end speculation about why Keating was not chosen as attorney general; to the Keating camp, the information was intended to make it look like the Dreyfus gifts were a skeleton in Keating’s closet that could hinder his confirmation. Keating called Smirk after the Newsweek story appeared but Smirk refused the call. However, in the phone conversation with Keating on Sunday, Bush acknowledged that his aides leaked the information, and he apologized. Bush didn’t explain further. Well, what do you know? After Keating campaigned tirelessly for Smirk in 25 states and on countless appearances on Fox Whore News, Smirk shoves a shiv into his chest and kicks him out of the lifeboat. Goddamn, it feels good to have loyal friends, doesn't it Mr Keating? 2. You should hear the Knuckledrag Democrats explain Keating's $250,000 "gifts." The Tulsa station that carries Rush is going non-stop after the Clinton's "thievery" of the $190,000 in gifts they received, but they say Keating's $250,000 "was entirely proper." Funny how the Republican governor can pocket $250,000 "properly" and the Clinton's are dirty thieves in the night, getting away with "all their crimes." ...and the whore press piles on the Clintons and not Keating, because Keating's quarter-million dollar ongoing bribe has nothing to do with Clinton's cock. (If you think this is a BartCop gag, think again.) So, one last time, just to be sure I have it straight: A Republican, still in office, can accept $250,000 with no problem, but a retiring Democrat accepting $190,000 in gifts just proves his guilt?

Sherman Award Blog For Us Paths to a Better Care Experience Patients Demand a Connected Healthcare Experience by Paul Uhrig, Chief Administrative, Legal, & Privacy Officer, Surescripts • November 12, 2015 • 0 Comments Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Google+Share on LinkedinShare on Pinterest When it comes to engaging with consumers – with patients – through and with technology, the healthcare industry has room for improvement as compared to other industries. Consumers interact with technology across most other aspects of their lives every single day, from banking, to buying almost any consumer good imaginable, to watching or listening to digital content. But how do they feel about the lack of technology when they visit their doctor or file an insurance claim? As it turns out, they aren’t happy about it and are demanding that the industry change. I, like many of us, found myself responsible for the care of a relative. In my case, a mother with severe Alzheimer’s. Finding her past medical records and maintaining her new records, and making them available to new providers and caregivers as we navigated our way through the healthcare system as her disease progressed should not have been as difficult as it was. In Search of Connected Healthcare Earlier this year, Surescripts conducted the Connected Care and the Patient Experience survey to find out how patients feel about the use of technology and their expectations for a digitally-driven healthcare experience. The results showed that an overwhelming percentage of patients not only support technological advancement throughout healthcare, but feel discouraged by the absence of information sharing and digital access to their doctors, their personal information, and health data. The data shows that those of us who work in healthcare can no longer ignore the need to infuse technology for improved patient engagement and an enhanced digital experience. Our well-being, satisfaction and lives depend on it. What Consumers Say In the survey of 1,000 adults, representing patients, caregivers and those suffering from chronic conditions, 61 percent reported that when they come to the doctor’s office, their care provider usually doesn’t know their allergies, and almost half of the patients note that doctors don’t know about their recent medical history, which could easily lead to unnecessary tests or recommendations. This also places a burden on patients to connect the dots themselves, with 29 percent of respondents saying they fax or physically transport test results, X-rays, or health records from one doctor’s office to another. A Hard Reality For many, these statistics are not just a burden or afterthought, but a hard reality. Linda Stotsky, patient advocate and senior director of healthcare at LogicNets, Inc, is one of those caregivers who has lived through the horrors of a disconnected health system when her daughter was diagnosed with cancer. Stotsky dedicates her message to the belief that patients deserve better and expect to be partners in their care.In an era where we can contact a family member on the other side of the world almost immediately, it’s no wonder consumer’s question why they can’t receive health information just as quickly via any mobile device or even in their home. Making health records available to the right person at the right place at the right time, in a secure manner and while respecting patient’s individual privacy wishes, is not a simple endeavor. To get to the day when all heath records are electronically available and patients have the digital tools to communicate with their providers will take time and the efforts of many — providers, electronic health record developers, policy makers, payers, consumer advocates and others. Patience and collaboration will be required. But Surescripts’ survey provides a voice for millions of patients who are demanding the healthcare industry adopt technology to improve information accessibility and relieve administrative burdens. The fight continues, but the possibilities are endless for what can be achieved when we join forces and work as one.

__label__wiki	0.775013	0.775013	Rachel Lindsay as The Bachelorette: First Look! Rachel Lindsay is ready to meet her men. For real, that is. On her very own TV show, we mean. On Monday night’s After the Final Rose special, Lindsay was surprised to actually shake hands with four of the suitors who will be vying for her heart this spring on The Bachelorette. This unexpected development was a sign of how excited ABC is to present viewers with the first African-American Bachelorette. And now exeuctive producer Mike Fleiss is here to once again prove how psyched the network is for Lindsay to anchor Season 13 of this beloved franchise. On Thursday night, Fleiss live-Tweeted night one of filming, teasing social media followers with photos of lights, cameras, limos and even some “cheesecake and beefcake.” Not to mention Lindsay in the dress she’ll be wearing while making the acquiantence of 25 men. “Let’s do it!!! #TheBachelorette,” Fleiss captioned the above photo, which features Lindsay, Fleiss, Chris Harrison and some other guy. He then went ahead and offered up this sneak peek of Lindsay about to emerge from her fancy car on the premiere: As you can see in the pictures above and below, Lindsay donned a sleeveless white patterned gown for the occasion. She looks beautiful. Elsewhere on Twitter, Fleiss gave fans a look at the 7,500-square-foot Bachelor mansion in Agoura Hills, California. No doubt this will be the scene of many arguments, drunken evenings and debates over who is on the show for the right reasons. “Almost time,” Fleiss simply wrote as a caption to the following photo. Lindsay is a 31-year old attorney from Dallas, who, to be frank, comes across as far more level-headed and normal than most women who have appeared on this series. She has said she regrets putting her professional life before her personal life and is now focused entirely on finding love and settling down. “I think @TheRachLindsay will be one of the Top 3 Bachelorettes of all time. She is wonderful!!! #TheBachelorette,” wrote Fleiss on Thursday night. We were then taken inside the production truck: “15 minutes til limos… #TheBachelorette,” read this caption. For those wondering what sort of food is served along with the champagne on opening night, Fleiss even went ahead and gave us a clue: Delicious food! Yummy food! Very sweet food! “Night One. Cheesecake and beefcake…#TheBachelorette,” he captioned this image: Finally, what would a preview of The Bachelorette be without a look at the suitors themselves? Simply referring to them as “dudes,” Fleiss Tweeted the following photo on Thursday, which is a worth a close look because it features more African-American men than the typical season of The Bachelorette. It’s about time, isn’t it? In February, Lindsay told People Magazine that she’s “at a stage in life where I’m ready for a family, I’m ready to get married.” She added in a separate interview that she’s open to any type of man, saying: “I want a guy who is not afraid of [commitment]. I’ve come across that in my past.” That sound you hear is millions of women nodding their heads in agreement. Are you pumped for Rachel Lindsay to be The Bachelorette?

Porsche announced that its Taycan Turbo S would be featured in a soon-to-be-released update for the PlayStation 4 video game Gran Turismo Sport. The release of Porsche’s high-performance EV in the premier racing series will give gamers who are unable to dish out $185,000 for the real Taycan Turbo S an opportunity to experience the electric powerhouse, at least virtually. The Turbo S is Porsche’s higher-powered trim, compared to the Taycan Turbo. The update of the game will include the Turbo S trim, thanks to a partnership between the Germany-based Porsche and Japanese-based video game development studio Polyphony Digital, the company responsible for producing the Gran Turismo Series. Gamers will be able to seize the opportunity to take the full advantage of the dual motor 750 horsepower electric sports sedan that sports a 161 MPH top speed for a spin on any of the game’s numerous tracks. http://www.youtube.com/v/ySZuUmfVdds&fs=1 Tesla Model S Breaks Taycan's Nurburgring Record (it's game on) http://www.youtube.com/v/pg8zn5RfDuw&fs=1 🔌 Amazon and the All-Electric Future of Fleet Vehicles https://www.wired.com/story/amazon-all-electric-future-fleet-vehicles/ Aarian Marshall Amazon and the All-Electric Future of Fleet Vehicles Fleets, like the 100,000 delivery vans the retailer ordered from startup Rivian, will make electrics seem more commonplace, and easier to charge. The spread of all-electric fleets could make it easier to charge a passenger car.Photograph: Patrick Pleul/Getty Images Let’s put Amazon’s order for 100,000 electric delivery vans by 2030 into perspective. Today, FedEx uses 85,000 “motorized vehicles” to deliver packages around the world. UPS has around 123,000 package cars, vans, tractors, and motorcycles, including about 10,000 the company says use “alternative fuel and advanced technology.” One hundred thousand delivery vans? That’s a lot. For proponents of electric vehicles, it’s a big opportunity—and not just for Rivian, the decade-old startup in which Amazon has invested, and from which it will buy the vans. Rivian, which has not yet put a vehicle into production, has a busy few years ahead of it. More significantly, though, the deal suggests that fleets—delivery fleets, truck fleets, taxi fleets, ride-hail fleets—may be the key, or a least a key, to transportation’s electric future. That’s especially true in a country where just 2 percent of today’s auto sales end with someone driving a plug-in electric car off the lot. Want the latest news on electric vehicles in your inbox? Sign up here! Shifts in fleet purchases might show which way the wind is blowing. “Individual consumers are thinking through [electric vehicle purchases] as well, but they don't have a forcing function,” says Bill Loewenthal, senior vice president of product at ChargePoint, which operates a network of EV charging stations. Other organizations are inching towards big electric fleet buys. Transit agencies are getting more excited about electric buses, especially in Asia. London is pushing Uber to go all-electric. Even the US Postal Service may get in on the act, as it looks to award a multi-billion-dollar contract for a new generation of mail delivery trucks. (The electric vehicle-maker Workhorse is reportedly a front-runner there.) The scope of Amazon’s purchase will make its electric vans battery-powered tech ambassadors in many neighborhoods. “Hopefully exposure to technology, and people seeing electric trucks in their neighborhoods, will do a lot for the market,” says Jimmy O’Dea, a senior vehicles analyst with the Union of Concerned Scientists. But the impact of all-electric fleets could be even greater. Big organizations using electric vehicles—like transit agencies with electric buses, or delivery companies with electric vans, or even autonomous vehicle companies like Cruise—often don’t allow the public to use their charging facilities. (Cruise charges its testing Chevrolet Bolts in a San Francisco garage basement.) But some do, says Loewenthal. “Depending on the day, during the daytime a charger might be available to the public, and at night time that infrastructure will be used for fleets.” Charging stations cost thousands to install, so the support of big companies using electric vehicles in their fleets could make it easier for regular folks to top up. Of course, this depends on where the vehicles will show up. If the electric vans only appear in cities like San Francisco or Oslo, where spot-the-Tesla games are already lively, their ability to expose new people to a new tech will be limited. Dubuque or Peoria, though, might be another story. Rena Lunak, a spokesperson for Amazon, declined to answer questions about where the company would use the delivery trucks. The fleet purchase also sets a high-water mark for corporate fleet greening. One hundred thousand vehicles is, again, a lot, and other companies hoping to keep up with Jeff Bezos will have their work cut out for them. “Now everything is going to be measured against Amazon’s announcement, and I think that’s good,” says Camron Gorguinpour, a senior manager of electric vehicle work at the World Resources Institute. The purchase might also broaden law- and policymakers’ ideas about what’s possible: If Amazon believes it can electrify a huge slice of its fleet quickly, why not push others to do the same? Every year, Volkswagen Group is a top contender for the title of the world's largest automaker. The company sell cars, commercial vehicles and even motorcycles. It operates 133 manufacturing plants around the world and sells cars in 153 countries. The company is now trying to forge a new future for itself by going electric. http://www.youtube.com/v/zkqt4cQpVx4&fs=1 John of Wallan You bloody galah! Love this guy. Not a big Tesla fan myself.

A first for ... Dekkho, one of the pioneers in the video development department has announced the launch of its new Linear programming feature. A first for any OTT platform, Dekhho's Linear Programming allows content creators to make customized 24-hour programming with an easy-to-use back-end system and run a first-of-its-kind TV-like format on the digital medium. The feature will be available on Dekkho's website as well as its Android and iOS mobile applications. Dekkho will jointly curate content along with content creators, existing top performing videos as well as undiscovered premium videos from its repository and organize them to create long-form content packages from different creators. Since content creators will not be required to create additional or fresh content to feature on the platform's linear TV playlist, existing video content on the platform will benefit from increased viewership. Likewise, short-form content creators will get greater exposure through this pseudo-long content format, which will help them realize up to 3-5 times higher viewing for their catalogs. Creators will additionally be granted total control over the content published, its genre, and running time, and will receive direct feedback from fans and users on current as well as future programming. Dekkho will also enable them to plan and update their programming according to the viewer demand. With the linear programming feature, users can forego the manual discovery and selection of videos and instead view a selection of relevant content bundled together at the push of a button. Users also get the chance to discover content from multiple creators who provide similar content through Dekkho's recommendation engine, thereby offering increased visibility to more non-mainstream and local producers. Users can also view local content in their preferred language from various creators in a single package. Dekkho will additionally give its users the power to decide what they want to watch by creating their programming playlist through a feature called 'Reels.' This will allow any Dekkho user to pick videos from its library and assemble a scheduled playlist. Dekkho will, in turn, gamify this process to drive user engagement. Dekkho also plans to eventually enable downloading of a section of linear programming for offline consumption.

__label__cc	0.729094	0.270906	The Connoisseur Trap Can you know too much? Usually I'd say "No." Knowledge builds, expands, allows you to make connections and observations. To better understand this confusing whir of a world. There are exceptions. I just read the review, "Lyric Opera's 'La Traviata' fails to impress," written by my friend and colleague Andrew Patner, who found Wednesday's performance of the perennial Lyric favorite lacking. "With constant and unnecessary racing, tweaking, arbitrary accents and ritards, none from the score and none adding anything to Verdi's work," he writes, of the music. All of which flew past me. I am not an opera expert. I can't even tell you what above means, nor what a "ritard" is (from the Oxford: "with a gradual decrease of speed.") But I was at the same performance Andrew attended, and I thought it was outstanding, exquisite, particularly the singing of soprano, Marina Rebeka, who Andrew admitted was "physically-winning" (I'd say something closer to "statuesque and beautiful"). But I'm not disagreeing with Andrew, in the sense that I think he's wrong. Just the opposite. I'm sure he's right. He must be. He's been analyzing this stuff for 30 years, in the Sun-Times and on WFMT, so he knows of what he speaks. Rather, he was right in his frame of reference, drawing from his depth of knowledge. In his sphere, not only did he dislike this production, but didn't even approve of the Lyric staging "Traviata" in the first place. "The 14th in the nearly 60 years of Lyric's history," he notes. Is that a lot? Every five years? Given that I've seen the same opera twice in one week, it really isn't all that excessive, again, in my estimation. Later this season, the Lyric is presenting Strauss' "Die Fledermaus," which I saw when the Lyric did it last in 2006. My reaction was: "Cool. More 'Fledermaus.'" Plus, I had never seen "La Traviata" before. That might be the key fact at work here. At least I don't remember seeing it. I have a recording, and have listened to it with continual pleasure. And must have at some point read the synopsis, when I wrote about the opera, because I was bringing 100 readers, who were also there Wednesday night. (They all loved it, gushing, like me, about the splendor and wonder of it. None of them mentioned the ritards). But we, unlike Andrew, were coming from a place of ignorance. When Violetta ... spoiler alert here ... leapt up from her death bed, strength and joy returning, for a moment I thought, "What? She lives? Oh good...." But it was just the burst of energy that sometimes comes just before the end, as anyone who has watched someone die knows. My wife wept. So I am not bringing a wealth of experience to this. Andrew is, and he is completely right in every regard (except regarding the set, but perhaps this is my pet peeve. The Lyric is in the same hard times we all are, and occasionally, in my view, exhibits what it calls minimalism but what I think of as mere austerity—the tiny witch's house in "Hansel and Gretel," the clumps of red tubing at stage left and stage right in "Parsifal." If you're going to have red tubing, there should be a whole lot of it). Nobody wants to see economical scenery. And we didn't, this time. Even before the curtain rose—a wall of lace lit in blue, revealing Violetta lounging on a chair, under a chandelier, dressing for a party. I was in the audience, thinking: "ooooo." So maybe I'm just a cheap date. I was impressed before the curtain went up. Heck, I was impressed by the curtain. Is that bad? There is what I will call "The Connoisseur Trap." You are drawn to something because you love it, and you experience it and learn about it, and the years go by. Then one day, your standards are so high, they cut into your enjoyment of the thing that you supposedly love, because you expect so much you are constantly disappointed with the way it is done in our flawed, imperfect world. I'm not saying that is the case here with Andrew, whom I deeply respect. Maybe the opera was repetitive and sub-par and anyone with a half knowledge would snap his lorgnette shut in a huff. My son, 18, shrugged it off too, but he's in a shrugging off stage of life. Me, I really loved it, thought it was the best production I've seen in years, and thought Marina Rebeka was fantastic—that might have skewed my judgment—and it would be ungallant of me to let Andrew toss money at her prone weeping form without removing my white glove and giving him a single slap in defense of her honor (And I suppose in defense of set designer Riccardo Hernandez's honor, too. I saw that curving Romanesque wall he constructed and thought: "Yes! Spare and minimal yet elegant and gorgeous. Finally.") Nearly 25 years ago, I was a nobody reporter (as opposed to a nobody columnist) still shaking the straw of Ohio out of my hair. I was sitting in the Billy Goat Tavern bitching about what a lousy agent I had who couldn't sell a book about college pranks, when Andrew Patner, a sophisticated Hyde Parker and Wall Street Journal reporter, who had one of the most powerful agents in New York City, David Black, handed him to me with the nonchalance you might tell a stranger the time. So I don't question him lightly. In fact, I don't question him at all. He's correct. This is about me, defending obliviousness. It is not without value. I am an amateur in this realm, and grateful for it. I'd hope I never learn so much that something like Wednesday's "La Traviata" tastes sour in my mouth. Too much knowledge can be the forbidden apple; it drives you from the garden. And what fun is that? After the audience stood, clapping and cheering and "bravoing" and "bravaing," it puzzled me that they'd stop after just five minutes. I was ready to tear my seat cushion out and throw it at the stage, but knew that would be frowned upon. So anyway, I hope you—and Andrew—forgive me for wanting to clap just a little more. I never thought I'd say this: but sometimes ignorance is underrated. Ignorance can be bliss, to coin a phrase, and bliss is what I go to the opera to find. Photos courtesy of Lyric Opera of Chicago @Todd Rosenberg Bill Savage November 23, 2013 at 9:50 AM This is exactly right. When people ask me what my favorite novel is, I tell them: I read and teach novels for a living; I do not and cannot have a "favorite." I don't think in those terms any more. It takes huge work for me to take professor/critic/theorist/historian and put all of that shit aside and just read and enjoy something on its own terms. I tend to be a generous audience, liking things, but I actually don't even do that much of what I once loved the most(reading novels). So, along with ignorance being a form of bliss, be careful what you ask for! The more you get to do what you love, the less you might love it. SandyK November 23, 2013 at 10:48 AM A standing ovation usually means the crowd loved the performance, so you must have been among a sea of "ignorant" opera-goers. Perhaps Mr. Patner's criticisms will motivate changes for the better, but his review must have been a major disappointment, particularly to Ms. Rebeka, -- I feel badly for her. Andrew Patner November 23, 2013 at 5:16 PM First, let me thank Neil for writing this (although he need not say so many nice things about me: I'm not going to bite him). We need more not less engagement with critics and about the arts in general. Second, let me congratulate Neil on a largely excellent column. I actually agree with much of what he says here and worry often if I might fall into the trap he identifies. Then, let me respond to just a few points. Perhaps I did not make part of what I was trying to get at clear enough. Perhaps I should not have used the word "ritard" (though, Neil, as you often write, how do we learn new words of we don't encounter them in the writing of others) if doing so was going to be off putting. But one of my points was not that only the "ignorant" would enjoy this performance but that I felt bad that when so much better conducting was available people would not know how this opera could have sounded so much more alive. I wasn't advocating for some arid, academic version or an unperformable Platonic ideal. I wanted more excitement, more tension -- and Verdi's own, not some that that the guy on the podium was trying to add, find, create. As for singers, there are always matters of taste that are not questions of right and wrong. It's interesting to note that the Tribune critic and I were in agreement on the soprano, but not wholly on the conductor while the online Chicago Classical Review writer and I agreed on the conductor and he thought Ms Rebeka was top-flight. So even the snooty know-it-alls couldn't agree on these two basic elements and did not break down along any obvious lines. I probably could have mentioned the shadow plays before each of the three acts. I guess I thought that things went downhill each time that scrim was lifted. Again, I do try to think whenI write or gab on the radio of people who have never been to a performance of a particular work or have never been to a live concert, opera, or stage play or who have perhaps never see or heard an opera or classical concert at all. We have all been those people and we all are those people for other genres of art and culture or other aspects of life. I love that Neil brings new people to the opera every year. I love enthusiasm and enthusiasts. My job, as I see it, is not at all to attack, but to evaluate both the performance and the experience. My point about frequency of performance was not that "La traviata" is performed to much -- it is, as Neil points out, among other things a particularly great first-time opera --but that if a new production or revival is planned, there needs to be plenty of oomph. What Riccardo Muti has demonstrated for Chicagoans over the last several years is not that Verdi performance is or should be elitist. It's that great performances of his music are like the difference between color and black and white, stereo and mono, the Grand Canyon and a picture of the Grand Canyon. I also agree that if one loses his or her love of something or of writing or speaking about it, it's time to move on to something else. I hope that that has not happened to me. Certainly at this point of doing this, among other things, for quite a while there are works or performers I prefer to see and others that I wish well but would rather someone else sat in the aisle seat. I'm sorry that Bill Savage finds himself doing less of what he once loved the most and hope he has found something else that excites him. Sandy K: I'm not sure generally what a standing ovation means these days. In the theatre they are far too automatic. The Lyric audience is pretty sophisticated -- in a good way. I noticed many people standing on opening night but also many people not. Thanks again Neil for doing this and for linking to my full review. I will be cross-posting this on my end as well. You mention, too, that you brought your wife and 18-year-old son to the performance. But you also brought your younger son. I wish more people would bring their kids/whole families to the operas, concerts, dance. And when they do, go ahead and hash out everyone's reactions, whether over a fine wine, a PBR, or a 7-Up. Mr. Steinberg, I am one of the "connoisseurs" of whom you speak. I am happy that you enjoyed the performance. I agree with you that Ms. Rebeka sang well and is beautiful, although some who have heard more singers in the role of Violetta might unfairly compare her to other singers. Some of whom, in my opinion, might or might not be better, but most of whom should simply be described as "different". Different voices, different acting strengths, different interpretations. That being said, I cannot help but hope that you have the opportunity to see a truly well thought out, carefully considered, thoughtful production of La Traviata. It is a testament to the genius of the piece that it holds up under what I found to be superficial and derivative concept and direction. Again, please understand that I don't want to diminish your enjoyment of the production. Rather, it is that I hope someday you have the chance to see a production that goes beyond what this one offered. This production certainly did not fall into the trap of "concept productions" in which some whim of the director - usually at complete odds with the intent of the composer - in which the imposed and forced interpretation of the piece is the primary and only concern and all other aspects become unimportant. But even in the interview with the director, it was clear that she had given no in-depth, three dimensional thought to the characters. There were a great many interesting images, but I could find no clear, consistent line in the ideas presented, nor in the growth of the principal characters over the course of the opera. Even with all my criticisms of the production, my disappointment was not that the performance wasn't good. It was certainly good enough. But it was not so good that I would be excited to see it revived. I can forgive a production that fails. Not everything is going to be a spectacular success. But at a company with Lyric's history and resources, one should expect to see productions that take a real risk to present excellence in the art form. Andrew Patner November 24, 2013 at 8:32 AM "anonymous" makes a parallel argument. Alex Ross November 24, 2013 at 9:15 AM This is Alex Ross, one of Andrew’s colleagues in the increasingly depopulated hamlet of music criticism. I'd like to address a few of your points. I do find your devaluation of knowledge and experience troubling. I doubt you’d say the same of, say, political journalists. If a longtime reporter points out the disparity between a politician’s rhetoric and reality, has he or she become too cynical? Aren't those people in Washington just trying their damnedest to do good stuff for the country? And what about those handsome, hard-working sports stars? Why all the constant carping at them on the radio? Sports is just good fun—does it matter who wins or loses? Ignorance is bliss! Yes, yes, we know; and we say the same about opera. It’s a serious art form and an expensive business, and it deserves to be covered with discerning eyes and ears. Of course, criticism will always be inexact; two knowledgeable listeners may come away with widely divergent assessments of a performance. But critics like Andrew stay around because they speak from experience and from the heart. Even if you disagree with them, you trust their consistency and their honesty. One claim I find especially unsettling: "...one day, your standards are so high, they cut into your enjoyment of the thing that you supposedly love..." There is too much mind- and soul-reading here for comfort. And I don’t like the undertow of groupthink: because you and many others enjoyed the performance so much, there must be something wrong with the one who didn’t. This is a trap of a different kind. Thankfully, opera has always invited dissent, and raging arguments have kept the art form vital for four hundred years. Critics are individuals, and we’re regularly going to find ourselves at odds with the crowd. Note that the dynamic can work in the opposite direction: I’ve sometimes found myself exulting in a performance to which others seem indifferent. Certainly, the happiest nights are those when we critics are carried away along with the rest of the audience—when we’re all grinning helplessly in the aisles, as when Christine Goerke unleashed beautiful thunder on the Met a couple of weeks ago. Indeed, it’s a peculiarly deep kind of enjoyment when your critical defenses fall away and you become one with the mass. If you think that Andrew has become immune to such joy, you need to spend more time with him! Neil Steinberg November 24, 2013 at 1:15 PM No, no, of course I'm not suggesting that Andrew is "immune to such joy" -- and I have had the pleasure of spending a good amount of time with him over the past 25 years -- we just had lunch not long ago, when we spent an hour chatting happily on his WFMT program. We actually spoke after Wednesday's performance, when he assured my son he is right to find the thing lacking. I think I showed him full respect while outlining my perspective. I'm an amateur who blundered into the opera house five years ago and am compelled, by the peculiar demands of my job, to conduct my education in public, not always a comfortable position. I'm not ashamed, because I think it makes it more accessible to people. Opera needs enthusiasts as much as it needs experts, and I don't think that being giddily engaged in opera leads us down the slippery path to excusing all well-intentioned political folly. I might not write about a particular opera because it has a rising young star, but the fact that the opera includes a horse catches my interest -- a horse? Where do they keep her? (in a stall fashioned out of a freight elevator). That's called, "Being who you are." For instance, I'd be less than candid if I didn't say that any chastisement I receive here is dwarfed by the thought: "Jesus, Alex Ross posted on my blog!" Naive? Sure. Midwestern? Naturally. At the risk of typecasting myself, I am the guy who took your colleague, Adam Gopnik, to Al's Italian Beef for dinner because, A: I like it; B: he'd never been there; C:. where am I supposed to take him, El Bulli? and, D: it was on our way to the airport. He loved it, by the way. Anyway, thanks for adding your thoughts to my blog. Classes up the joint. As well-meaning as Mr. Steinberg is, what he says is, unfortunately, what is wrong with opera (especially in Chicago) today. Coming to a performance with no frame of reference ..... never having seen the opera before or heard other singers in the various roles in various-size theaters and LOVING it is fine. That being said, Mr. Steinberg should realize that Lyric Opera of Chicago is a "A-House", which means that it should be presenting the finest productions and MORE importantly the FINEST singers there are. I won't begin to compare Ms. Rebeka to other Violettas of today or yesterday although I COULD. Enjoying and lauding a performance for what it is, is only ONE approach and I can sympathize. This is why, hopefully, newspapers don't let just anyone review performances. Critics are supposed to come to a performance with a visual and audio "history" in their minds. The danger in the, "I don't care WHAT the connoisseur says, I loved it and had a good time" attitude is that Lyric management then sees that the audience will literally STAND for anything and will continue to present productions by second and third-rate directors and designers whose limited operatic backgrounds don't allow them to bring anything of quality or depth to their work, and hire singers who do simply a fine job (with the exception of Mr. Calleja) and not a GREAT one. Lyric Opera of Chicago is NOT Fort Worth Opera or even Houston Opera and Chicago audiences should expect and demand more. If Lyric is changing from "La Scala West" to "Houston North", Chicago audiences are in big trouble. But then again, if these performances receive standing ovations, Chicago audiences will continue to get exactly what they deserve. Lisa Hirsch November 24, 2013 at 1:20 PM What Alex said, in spades. I want to address the issue of "how often is too often" to perform an opera with a little analogy: if you had available only about 50 films, in rotation, would you be a happy movie viewer? This is unfortunately the general situation with opera in the US: the big four Mozart operas, the Rossini comedies, the five or six most popular Verdi operas, four Puccini, a few Donizetti, and so on are performed in endless rotation, with some seasoning from Wagner, Strauss, Janacek, Berg, and Gounod. This is a formula for killing an art form by making it a museum: audiences don't get to hear early and modern opera, or anything off the beaten track, nearly enough. What's wrong with experiencing what you like? I could go to the diner and order liver, which I don't like, in the hope that eventually I'll come to like it. Or I could get the Southwest salad I know and like, again and again. Believe me, Lyric subscribers feel plenty subjected to what I call the eat-your-peas part of the schedule. We do see it's important, though I'm going to my grave never sitting through Wozzeck again because once was plenty. I think our argument boils down to: is opera a pleasure or is it a duty? I err on the former, with a somber nod at the latter. I see no acknowledgement from you that Wozzeck is a pleasure for a significant part of the musical and operatic audience. I would also say: Wozzeck is a work you might come to like after more than one hearing - it takes some experience with an unfamiliar style to appreciate it, just as it might take some experience to appreciate, enjoy, and understand Indian classical music. Oh, and - of course my statement that an opera company should stage a wide variety of operas does not imply that any particular person needs to love or buy tickets to it all. Neil Steinberg November 25, 2013 at 1:50 AM Probably because I didn't know that Wozzeck is a pleasure for anybody. I just couldn't imagine it. Remember, I saw it 20 years ago, but the image is imprinted upon my brain. It's like Springfield -- downstate Illinois. I'm sure people go there and have fun. Heck, some even live there. But I've been to Springfield, and I'll be damned if I'm going back, except under duress. Lisa Hirsch November 25, 2013 at 9:44 AM This surprises me - you cannot imagine a point of view other than your own? Is that true of other works of art as well? I assume the opposite: that it is possible for almost anyone to learn about, appreciate, and enjoy "difficult" works of art, whether they're Joyce's Ulysses, Tristan und Isolde, abstract expressionist art, or Wozzeck. This is part of a critic's job: to open the world for others. Neil Steinberg November 25, 2013 at 10:00 AM No of course not, let's not get caustic -- people have been so well behaved. It's an expression. I disliked Wozzeck so much it surprises me that people like it (a better phrase than "couldn't imagine," at least in that it denies you your tangent). That's why I think enthusiasm can be a better ambassador to "difficult" works. Critics tend to get on their high horse. I've written about loving "Tristan" without castigating those who find it long. I saw it twice when the Lyric last put it on. Andrew Patner November 25, 2013 at 10:17 AM I'll be going to New York in the spring to see Levine's WOZZECK at the MET and have already made plans to bundle Neil into my luggage. We both like train travel so I'm sure he'll survive. Lisa, you are most welcome to join us! Lisa Hirsch November 25, 2013 at 11:06 AM I'm sure Neil will fit in the carry-on, Andrew! I am, alas, going to skip this one; my NYC trip was for Frau. Next up is Birtwistle at 80 in London, assuming the stars align correctly. The tickets are cheap and I am buying them NOW. [Whoops, had additional thoughts.] Putting it another way: it also trains audiences to be conservative. For every run of "La Traviata," there's an "Ernani" or "Il Corsaro" you're not seeing (those are worthy early Verdi operas); for every "Barber of Seville," there's a "Mametto II"; for every Puccini opera, there are operas by Respighi, Zandonai, and other 20th c. Italians you're not hearing. If you don't get to hear these, how can you know whether you'd like them and whether they're worth staging? Rupert of Hentzau December 1, 2013 at 10:18 PM Thank you for that one! Why only two or three bel canto operas ad infinitum when there are literally thousands of others seldom performed? The ones I've heard are often as good as the ones we hear. Ditto every other school. There USED only to be four frequent Mozart operas -- actually, before World War I it was just Don G and Flute -- but now I believe it's six or seven. Not too many more in that particular vein, I'd say, but plenty of Gluck, and I've only heard ten of his 52. When I started opera going, the only Handel you heard was Messiah. Today, a dozen of his operas are constant visitors, and 20 more and half a dozen of the oratorios are frequent visitors. I want to hear the others. Why not give Saul some Christmas instead of Messiah? (It's a better drama, actually.) Or Judas Maccabeus, which is suitable to the season, unlike Messiah? Would you want them to play the same football game over and over, however excellent it was? Plush November 24, 2013 at 1:31 PM I admire and seek out expertise. Being able to recall historical performances and to compare and contrast is invaluable. Outside of my field of concentration I don't have the inclination or ability to keep track of what is going on. The argument that one's knowledge is too expert is a point of view that I cannot entertain. I disagree with Andrew Patner completely, and we have attended the same performance, he was sitting just in front of me. I found this production of Traviata refreshing: too often Traviata is obviously older than Alfredo, she it weak, melancholy, starts dying basically in the first act. Here, we have a young and spirited beauty, it's easy to believe that tout de Paris is smitten with her. I would say that this production is best suited to the voice of the soprano Marina Rebekah. Her voice might not yet develop the darker, lower tones required for the last act, but, instead, she defies death and puts up a fight almost until the very end. The tenor Joseph Calleja was in a much better form in this role than his performance of Rodolfo in "La Boheme" last season. For starters, he sang in the right register. I loved his Alfredo, young, ardent and rash. Mr. Calleja avoided the annoying trait of so many tenors to endlessly hold high notes, his singing was fast, just like young impatient love. Quinn Kelsey, who portrait Germont, is a true Verdian baritone with a voice that is both powerful and supple, he conveyed the dignity and rigidity of a provincial gentleman very well. The orchestra sounded fantastic, loud enough to hear every beautiful nuance of the orchestration, yet subtle enough for the singers to be heard. When the singers deliver and when the orchestra sounds so well, and when it all comes together, it is all because of one man - the conductor. And I think Maestro Zanetti deserves all the credit here. As for Arin Arbus' staging, it was conventional, with no innovations, save the suggestive and brutal dancing in the third act. However, one gets tired of the minimalistic and convoluted productions that are all the rage at Salzburg. Sometimes, a solid conventional production looks like a winner. Thank you, Lisa Hirsch, for joining in! Folks looking for lively, insightful, and informed writing on opera and other subjects should follow the link at her name to her superb Bay Area based weblog, "Iron Tongue of Midnight"! As for "Unknown," you may or may not have been at the performance, you may or may not have been sitting just behind me (if you were, thank you very much for moving your walking stick from my seat back, I appreciate it), you may or may not be associated with Lyric or the production. I don't know and I can't engage with an unidentified person. But I am glad that you enjoyed everything about the performance. Happiness is a good thing. I'm with Andrew regarding anonymous comments. If you can't even sign your name to your thoughts, how much value could they have? That of course might be the hardened opinion of someone who sells his thoughts frozen on a stick. But still, nobody is urging violent revolution here. Particularly the "he was sitting right in front of me" remark -- I'm not sure what that's supposed to imply. Something vaguely disreputable. The person behind me is always unwrapping something that sounds like a Christmas present, but is probably a mint, and I don't go skulking around his blog, implying vague criticisms. Beyond beautifully put, Neil. Thanks! I do apologize for posting without introducing myself, I have tried try to log in under my Google account but it did not work. My name is Fiona, and my association with the Lyric Opera of Chicago is limited to attending their performances. And even though sometimes I feel that I need a help of a walking stick when navigating the Opera's aisles in my four inch heels, I have, so far, managed without one. There was no "vague criticism" in my comments, only an attempt at an articulated praise of the singers who were rather pointedly criticized by Mr Patner in his original review. But, there is one something that Mr. Patner and I agree upon: happiness is a good thing, and I am happy that so many have opined about an opera production, and with such spirit. LOVING this whole ongoing conversation. That is all. Thank you, Fiona, and appreciated. We are agreed on this exchange! But the woman sitting behind me had a walking stick/handled cane and had placed it on my seat back until she kindly moved it. I was in Orchestra K2 and K4, Aisle 4. Perhaps the person sitting in front of you actually was in agreement with you! ;-) The series at Steinberg's blog was a great exchange although I do wonder at Opera aficionados who need walking sticks and wear 4" heels! More to the point, what I sensed was a difference in levels of expectation and experience among the various posters. I recall two experiences vividly in my artistic attendance. My first exposure to the CSO was pure serendipity. I was walking past Orchestra Hall and noticed that Respighi's "Pines of Rome" was being performed that evening. I had heard recordings of the piece and liked it; it's easy to like! I marched up to the ticket window and got a really great lower balcony seat in the days when all performances regularly sold out. I was blown out my seat by this venerable old show-piece but I can't tell you whether it was a mediocre, average or great performance. I had no benchmark since it was my first time ever attending a live orchestra concert at the CSO level. It was life-changing, however. (Kenneth Jean conducted, to give you some perspective on time.) On yet another occasion I was in Amsterdam with a free afternoon so I plunked down a few guilders and went to the Rijksmuseum. Everyone has seen images of the painting commonly called "The Night Watch," right? Of course they have. But rounding a corner in a gallery and coming face-to-face with the original work is an experience I will never forget, as much mind-blowing as the Respighi at the CSO. I know of the depth that you (Patner) have and have also read Ross's "The Rest Is Noise." Clearly both Patner and Ross live in an artistic world much different from most of us. My point here is that an individual's appreciation or evaluation of a particular artistic endeavour is a function both of the emotive impact of the work plus the prior experience of the observer. Thus all evaluations, regardless of disparity, are in some sense correct. We can also safely assume for most audience members who continue to attend and appreciate an art form that their appreciation and evaluation will change over time. Where does that leave me regarding arts criticism? Just this: I will, of course, continue to have strong opinions about what pleases me and what doesn't. But I'm also grateful for the Andrew Patners, Alex Rosses, and Lisa Hirsches of the world who tend to stimulate my own artistic growth and judgement. Artistic criticism plays a valuable role in the lives of both performers and audience members but should be taken for what they are: expert insights that are also fallible. There have been some really notorious critical faux pax over the centuries, but we needn't dwell on those here. What counts is the significant contributions made by all who write about the arts to everyman's enjoyment. Mona Stern December 7, 2013 at 3:28 PM What a fascinating exchange of ideas! I now regret my email to Mr. Patner in which I couldn't understand his dislike of this Traviata. Now I do understand. Mona Timothy Thurlow December 15, 2013 at 8:22 AM Let me begin by saying how happy I was to see Andrew back in print in the Sun-Times. Chicago needs what he brings to the conversation about the arts in this city. I would like to make several points: Very few journalists who do music criticism are professional musicians or musicologists. What then to make of criticism that takes issue with a conductor's tempi, etc., as if the critic has a better understanding of those things than the conductor does? Surely Maestro Zanetti knows the score of La traviata better than a newspaper's music critic. Maybe his interpretation is not the same as Muti's and you prefer Muti - fair enough. But excellent musicians can differ in their approach to a piece. I have two recordings of the Mahler 6th - one conducted by George Szell, one by Pierre Boulez. Szell does the first movement, marked allegro energico, ma non troppo, in 17 minutes , 45 seconds; Boulez in 23 minutes, 6 seconds. Who is right? Is that even the question? Fidelity to the score isn't an end in itself, but rather a means to an end - a means to achieving what the composer had in mind. I would be more persuaded if a critic explained why doing something a certain way makes a difference, e.g., "failure to slow down sufficiently at this point loses the effect Verdi wanted, which was . . . , see Philip Gossett . . . " It's too bad that newspapers reduce a critical review to a tepid recommendation, e.g., ”slightly recommended." I imagine the takeaway from such a recommendation is all too often, "don't go see it." That's the wrong reaction. There have been many productions over the years that I did not like, but I'm still glad I saw them. I have seen every Lyric production since 1975. I've seen eight Lyric Traviatas. Why go to another one? Primarily to hear the voices. I cannot remember anything about the tempi in Lyric's 1975 Traviata, but I still hear Ileana Cortubas in my head. From this latest one, I expect I will remember the amazing ability of Ms. Rebeka to sing runs with perfect intonation, like a clarinet going up and down the scale. Also the beautiful blend of the voices. Some voices seem to have a special affinity in duets: Jussi Björling and Robert Merrill; Joan Sutherland and Marilyn Horne. In this production, there was something about the quality of Quinn Kelsey’s and Marina Rebeka's voices that combined in a most beautiful way. If you want to see unusual repertoire, rarities, etc., instead of the standard stuff, show Lyric the money. New York City Opera is now history. We don't want that to happen in Chicago. So we have to have the Tosca's and Zauberflöte's to pay for The Midsummer Marriage's and Bel Canto's. And it's not as if Tosca is castor oil - a good one can fill Lyric's coffers and still thrill the most jaded opera goer. I don't understand the condescension about Houston. I flew there last April to see its new Tristan, a coproduction with Covent Garden (Houston UK?). The astounding Nina Stemme sang Isolde. Would that we had her in the Lyric lineup. Some words from a beginner. I finally saw La Traviata last night. After having read the reviews before attending, I expected to love Calleja's performance, be ok with Rebeka's, and be mildly disappointed with the staging and conducting. But after being so pleasantly surprised by the entire production, I did a search to see if I missed something in the reviews. This is how I end up so late in this wonderful exchange. So that readers can give appropriate consideration to my words, I'm fairly new to opera and don't know enough to challenge the words of anyone here. I do have a rather long-term and intense passion for other kinds of music, and I appreciate criticism and also understand how my tastes can differ from those of the critics; and that’s not wrong. Calleja was, as usual, amazing. His voice pleasing and strong, his acting outstanding, and his presence unquestionably worthy of any stage in the world. Rebeka blew me away. Strong, on key, passionate, and (showing my ignorance here by not knowing the right words for what I’m describing) the way her voice transitions from note to note – is both somehow accurate yet soft. That richness of her voice isn’t lost as she makes (what sounds like to me) rather difficult transitions. Great diction, too. Technically accurate sopranos can sometimes leave me cold, but she kept it warm, while not too loose. Rebeka’s performance brought to mind Radvanovski as Aida at Lyric. I felt like I could have had Radvanovski’s voice for dessert. To my beginner’s ear, it sounded like she’s still developing her diction and her technical abilities, but could one day be the best. I forgave the few shortcomings for the richness and warmth of her voice. I remember my impression of her singing was exactly opposite to Panther’s in that regard. That’s ok, he’s right and I’m wrong. But it illustrates how we can come to understand and appreciate even our differences with critics. I felt Rebeka’s performance last night had all that warmth, but also the technical proficiency. I absolutely loved the staging. The technique referred to as “shadow plays” at the beginning of each act were used to great effect; a visual bonus for the audience that didn’t distract too much from Verdi’s emotional mood-setting musical preludes,. They worked well together, and I thought they were worthy of mention in any review. And the sets themselves were beautiful. The exception to me was the giant photograph (or whatever it was) at the beginning of Act Two. However, when this was raised, we were rewarded with a shockingly spare yet beautiful scene, which only looked better with the fantastic costumes, puppets and dancing within. After the final curtain, I commented to my wife that the music was so beautiful and I would have been happy hearing it as a stand-alone symphonic piece. The pacing was perfect, the playing exceptional, and the conductor’s emphasis outstanding. In summary, I appreciate the musical criticism from those more experienced and knowledgeable than I am, but at the same time agree with Steinberg. This was a fantastic production and a wonderful opera. Those in the audience appeared to appreciate it as much as I did. Next up, The Magic Flute at The Met. I'm such a bubble-gum opera lover, which is so unlike the rest of my musical tastes. Maybe that will change as I hear more. John Nelson December 23, 2013 at 8:58 PM Another comment is not needed, but I'll add one anyway. I saw the final performance on Friday...I've seen 11 since 1966 at Lyric, and a few elsewhere. Not the greatest staging, but not worst either. Violetta would not have lived in a palace, where many productions seem to place her, but Alfredo would not have dumped her on the floor when she was next to a bed. But thats minor stuff for me. I'm stuck on opera being about the singing, and I was not disappointed.Calleja and Kellsy's performances were excellent. Ms Rebeka's was outstanding...maybe the most perfectly executed vocal performance of the role I have ever heard. ( that includes Caballe , Fleming and many others). She will grow in stage presence, but I didn't find that lacking. Brian S. ...you have a good ear for voices. Though Radvanosky ( who I think is #1) is voice is not really like Rebeka's,they both have unique and distinctive sounds. A critic, who can attend more performances than most of us and as it is their profession give more thought to it, should be valued for their opinions. But you have to make up your own mind. Years ago claudia Cassidy panned a Violetta (Celestina Casapietra, who shoe referred to as Heavenly little miss Stone house) who I thought was quite passable. Another cricic praised Elena Obratovas's singing of de Falla songs, which were very ordinary, and panned her Rachmaninoff songs, which I remember to this day. A fellow long time opera goer told me he hated a performance which I loved , and that the singer was flat (not). Read the reviews, but form your own opinion. P.S. It's tough going at first Mr. Stienberg, but given a chance you may find that Wozzeck is intensely moving. Kevin Byrnes February 4, 2015 at 12:14 PM Connoisseurship is a form of mastery, and while it's not the same thing, it does connote a higher degree of familiarity with the subject matter. This familiarity extends in two directions, in a sense: broadly, and deeply. Breadth of experience--hearing the same piece many times, hearing many other pieces like it, or even not like it--really opens your ears (as Charles Ives once said, politically incorrectly: "Use your ears like a man!"). Depth of experience--becoming familiar with and focusing on everything from music theory to history to staging and the styles of individual performers--really opens your mind to what the artwork is doing. Most of the point of connoisseurship is to heighten one's own enjoyment/appreciation of the thing being considered. When someone uses their connoisseurship to write about music, I don't believe that should be taken as an attempt to proselytize readers who might have less familiarity; instead, those readers can use that writing as another part of their education (and it might be valuable or worthless for that purpose--they can take it or leave it). Engaging the critic in exchanges such as those above is a worthwhile thing, because in order to formulate your thoughts in response you have to absorb at least some of what your counterpart was saying; so this is, strangely enough, a further advance in your own connoisseurship. Every connoisseur started as a neophyte. There is a lot of joy in experiencing and learning things for the first time, and it is quite practical to remain at that level--many do, and it works for them. One thing I will say for connoisseurship is that as your experience broadens and deepens, you start hearing things a little differently--there are more connections with other things you've experienced. Wozzeck is a tough one even for many experienced listeners. For a 20th century piece that will grab you despite the dissonance, try Schoenberg's "A Survivor from Warsaw"--there's a good performance with Hermann Prey on YouTube (just search "A Survivor from Warsaw"). Rest in peace, Andrew Patner. tate November 23, 2016 at 3:34 PM Wow! Like peeking through a time portal and glimpsing a long lost world. Are the Bulls really going to quit now? Happy Chattanooga!

Public performance. INT AFFAIRS American retirees looking to live comfortably while stretching their golden years funds have been resettling in increasing numbers recently to Latin American locales. As documented in this film, the lure of life in paradise, coupled with a lower cost of living, has made areas like the Panamanian archipelago Bocas del Toro enticing. However, the influx of foreigners to this once-remote region has not been without its problems. Land title disputes, ecological issues, political corruption, economic upheaval, and the decline in presence of the area's indigenous people have all accompanied such unprecedented development, especially with the unchecked, legally questionable construction of new luxury resorts built to transform Bocas del Toro into the new Cancun, Mexico's trendy resort spot. All of these issues are capably explored through the personal stories of residents, including an American retired couple looking to give back to their adopted community, an indigenous land rights activist, and a businessman-turnedwould-be politician. VERDICT A balanced, noteworthy, and appealing take on an issue that carries sweeping consequences but has received far too little attention.--Brent Marchant, Chicago Citation: Marchant, Brent.

He posted a review of the film on his website Barrio Latino. Rauline writes "The documentary "Paraiso for Sale" shows an explosive situation. An American ousts a Panamanian family and burs all their things, a project of resort threatens the local environment, corruption is growing, and eve some American citizens are victims from dishonest real estate development and lose everything that they had dreamt....[Prado] avoids the trick of “bad Americans, good Panamanians” but she asks right questions and denounces injustices that plague the region."

Arguably the most interesting race on the card was the two miles maiden hurdle which went the way of the Murphy trained Thomas Darby (11/2). A gelded son of Beneficial who cost €160,000 as a three year old, he is a half-brother to the smart hurdler Muirhead. A two lengths winner of a Huntingdon bumper in May, he still looked inexperienced on his hurdles debut but warmed to his task as the race progressed. Given a patient ride by Richard Johnson, he quickened up between the final two flights and won going away by three and a quarter lengths. Bred to stay further, it would be no surprised to see him return to Prestbury Park next month for either the Graded two or two and a half miles novices' hurdles. His trainer stressed afterwards Thomas Darby may not want the ground too testing. In less than a week, Murphy has unearthed two above average novices in him and Kempton scorer Itchy Feet. Gordon Elliott's former assistant has made a terrific start to his second season with a licence. I must confess to have been a bit disappointed with the run of Sebastopol back in fourth, although I don't feel he was given the most positive rides. A year younger than the winner, Tom Lacey's charge was held up and still had plenty to do coming down the hill - although it can be argued Thomas Darby was upsides him at a similar stage. A mistake at the second last didn't help his cause before he stayed on at the death. On this evidence, he doesn't look quick enough to develop into a high-class two mile novice hurdler and will benefit from a longer trip. In his defence, it was his first run over hurdles and he is likely to be much sharper next time and will be ridden more aggressively. “Thank you for a very successful and profitable email service. My personal highlight was the win of Aloomomo whose romp round Uttoxeter was a joy. Keep up the good work with all your services, the books and updates, they are simply the best by a very long way.” C.B “Just want to say thanks for running the service again this year, I have ended up with a nice £756 profit from it so I'm obviously very happy with that so thanks a lot!” D.M “Thanks for your email Mark would just like to say your selections and insight has been awesome. Keep up the good work sir your service is the best.” C.R “Thank you for an excellent tipping service throughout the three months. It has been a pleasure and profitable to be a member of your service. Your indepth knowledge and analysis of the race has been excellent. I honestly rate your service as one of the best and most profitable.” D.K “Thanks very much for the fantastic service you have supplied, I have been involved with racing tipsters for over 30 years and never had as good a strike rate as yourself, out of this world.” A.H “The email service as usual has been brilliant and this season's OJA seems to continue to unearth amazing insight if you have the time to trust and follow it in detail over a period. Thanks as always for your outstanding value for money publications.” “Superb information again Mark, I managed to get some 11/4, will certainly pay for Xmas.

The National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials (NALEO) said in a statement it is calling for Angle’s campaign to immediately pull the ad which takes aim at Senate Majority Leader Henry Reid, from Nevada broadcast stations. “This political campaign ad draws upon racist attitudes and stereotypes for campaign expediency,” read a statement from NALEO. “There must be no room in our political discourse for racist acts and stereotypes that exploit a community. Political ads such as this violate basic tenets of our diverse American society.” In the ad, dark-skinned actors are seen sneaking by a chain link fence, as images of white college students and workers follow with the narrator asking, “What does Harry Reid have against you?” The ad goes on to criticize Reid for his support of several immigration reform measures, including his recent effort to pass the DREAM Act, which would allow undocumented students to become legalized if they attend college or serve in the military. “Now Harry Reid is fighting for a program that would give preferred college tuition rates to none other than — illegal aliens. Using your money to pay for it,” the ad says. The executive director of America’s Voice, Frank Sharry, calls the ad one of the most racist he has seen this campaign season. The group advocates for immigration reform. “This ad will go down in history as one of the most blatantly racist television ads of the 2010 cycle,” Sharry said. “The parallels between her campaign and that of former California Governor Pete Wilson are striking-and will do irrevocable harm to the Nevada Republican Party with Latinos for generations to come.” The chair of the Nevada Republican Hispanic Caucus, Tibi Ellis, also condemned the ad. Ellis, who occasionally acts as a spokeswoman for Angle, said, “I condemned this type of propaganda, no matter who is running them, where they blame Mexicans as the only problem and where they attack them as the only source of illegal immigration. I don’t agree with that.” Filed Under: Immigration, Latest Updates, Links, News Makers, Uncategorized Tagged With: Hispanics, Immigration, Nevada, Nevada GOP, Racism, Republicans, Sen.

The war exercise started on both the western and the northern border and in the Indian Ocean with the naval participation is a clear warning to Pakistan and China. Air Force conducts the ‘Gagan Shakti’ war exercises every two years. The main objectives of the war exercises are to increase coordination between the different divisions and command centres of the Air Force and to develop the capacity and readiness to expeditiously act in a war scenario. But this time the extent of the exercises is much larger. China is taking aggressive actions against India. There have been reports of China having increased the deployment of fighter jets at the bases along the Indian border. The importance of the Air Force exercises has increased further against this background. The exercises will continue till 22nd April. The exercises will be conducted in two stages. Firstly, the war preparedness along the northern border will be tested through this. After this, the exercises will shift to the western border. 300 officers along with 15,000 soldiers of the Air Force, 1100 fighter and transport aircrafts from Air Force and navy are participating in this exercise. All types of fighter jets from the Indian Air Force fleet are participating in the exercises and ‘Tejas’ the Indian made light combat aircraft will be participating in the exercises, for the first time. Other than this, fighter jets of types ‘Sukhoii-30 S’, ‘MiG-21’, ‘MiG-29’, ‘Jaguar’, ‘Miraj’, transport aircrafts of types ‘C-17 Globemaster’, ‘C-130 J super Hercules’, advanced ‘C-17 helicopters’ and also the unmanned aircrafts will participate in the exercises.The capacity of coordinating with the ‘Network Centric Warfare’ system is being tested in these exercises. Considering the future threats, and recognising the need of participation by the Air Force for actions in the marine region, the Indian navy also has been included in the exercises. Paired with the Air Force jets, the ‘MiG-29K’ of the Indian Navy will conduct war exercises in the Andaman and Nicobar islands region. Around fifteen days ago, the Indian Air Force Chief B.S. Dhanoa had said that the Indian Air Force is better equipped than the Chinese Air Force. ‘Where there is a question about the capability of the Air Force, India is always superior on that pitch,’ the Air Force Chief had said. Whereas, the Army Chief Bipin Rawat has repeatedly warned that we have to be prepared to fight on both the Chinese and Pakistani fronts. Against this background, India seems to have issued a warning to both the neighbours by conducting the exercises in the northern, western and marine sectors at the same time. IBG to be deployed on Pakistan and China borders: warns Indian Chief of Army Staff China’s destroyers at Karachi Port in Pakistan Indian Air Force better equipped than China on eastern border, assures Air Force Chief Dhanoa Indian Air Force to deploy fighter jets in Andaman & Nicobar for the first time since Second World War Increase in movements of the defence forces; reports of INS Kalvari deployment ‘Gaganshakti’ exercise – a shock for the enemy nations: Indian Air Chief Marshal India’s ‘Gaganshakti’ war exercises commence near the Chinese border, Under the inspection of Defence Minister, Sitharaman and Air Chief Marshal, Dhanoa Gaganshakti, the pan-India joint Military Exercise, focussing on preparedness at the Pakistan and China borders concludes successfully Air force, B.

__label__wiki	0.907126	0.907126	A 'Labour moment' as LibDems now trail by 51 points with Guardian readers "The collapse in LibDem support is the most dramatic feature of the party landscape since last year's General Election", writes Peter Kellner in his 'Can the Liberal Democrats survive the Coalition' analysis and graphics in the new May 2011 issue of Prospect. The pollster's gloomy prognosis is that "Unless Nick Clegg can secure a new tranche of votes, from the centre and right-of-centre, Clegg's party seems doomed to suffer - certainly for as long as it is in coalition with the Conservatives". The Kellner piece usefully distinguish between churn between the parties and the loss in net support. So YouGov calculate that Nick Clegg has picked up 600,000 voters who didn't vote LibDem in May but who would do so now - but that this is outweighed by the loss of allegiance of 4.7 million who did vote LibDem, but now wouldn't. Two million May 2010 LibDems now intend to vote for Ed Miliband's Labour party, half a million for the Tories, six hundred thousand for others, while 1.3 million don't know, and around 300,000 wouldn't vote. Labour has a net gain of 3.2 million voters. David Cameron's net loss of 0.7 million in year one may well be less than he feared given economic conditions, but he would be wise to anticipate having to increase his support substantially by the end of the Parliament to stay in office. Among the greatest swingers of all against Nick Clegg's Liberal Democrats since the Coalition was formed are Guardian readers, who have been even more likely to desert the party than students, and who now favour Labour over the LibDems by a margin of 51 points. You Gov reports Guardian voting intentions as follows, compared to May 2010: Labour 66% (+24%) LibDems 15% (-30%) Conservative 7% (-) Others 12% (+5) - including Greens 9% (+5) A Labour moment indeed! The Green party rise to 9% from 4% means that they have now overtaken the Tories as the third party in Guardianland on this poll. (Just to clarify sourcing to avoid confusion: Kellner's Prospect piece reports findings are from YouGov's latest nationwide survey involving 50,000 people. While the Prospect graphic gives the change in vote share, the party shares behind them, and reported here, were provided directly by YouGov in response to Next Left's inquiry). The LibDems have lost support with the readers of newspapers on the right too - though only 6% among Mail readers and 8% among Sun readers, where they of course began with much less to lose. They have dropped 15% among public sector workers and 18% among trade union members. It is more surprising is that the loss of Guardian votes outstrips even the loss of LibDem support among students, where the LibDems are down 25% and Labour up 19%. Nick Clegg might well think that life's not fair when he sees that his Conservative partners are up 5% among students: this suggests that he may have lost even those students who did agree with his u-turn to his partner David Cameron. YouGov showed a 3% LibDem lead over Labour in May 2010 by 45% to 42% However, contrasting May 2010 findings from other pollsters could cast doubt on the theory that the collapse in support reflects a bursting of a Cleggmania bubble among Guardianistas. It may also be that the paper's readers were already considerably less taken by the prospect of a "liberal moment" last May than its editorial writing team, before becoming much more disillusioned with Clegg's party since. One of the curiosities of the election was that The Guardian was the only national paper whose readers swung against the LibDems - according to the British Election Survey - despite it providing the first ever national newspaper editorial of the party, when the Coalition was little more than a glint in the eye of Cameron or Clegg, as we blogged previously: Labour's slender two point (43-41%) lead over the LibDems among Guardian readers in 2005 extended to nine points (46-37%) in 2010, according to the tables in the Dennis Kavanagh and Philip Cowley British General Election of 2010. One plausible hypothesis is that the Iraq war was considerably more important in switching Guardian readers from Labour to LibDem in 2005 than the newspaper's endorsement of the LibDems in 2010, when both the fading of the Iraq issue and the threat of a Tory government saw a shift back towards Labour. There may be some consolation for Nick Clegg in a Prospect column from Charles Kennedy, though he ought not to get too excited by a headline "I've learned to love the Coalition" which does not really come particularly close to reflecting anything Kennedy writes in the text. Kennedy does somewhat endorse the Coalition, having abstained on its formation, in expecting it to last the parliament, to the extent that he writes that "once the deal was done ... it is in everyone's interest that it succeeds", despite the LibDems having had "the rougher end" of it so far. As for what that means for the Liberal Democrats when they next meet the voters, Kennedy frankly acknowledges that he does not know: "The real fortunes of the party will hinge on the economic prognosis in the third and fourth years of this parliament. It is simply too early to tell what that will be". We shall all have to wait to find out whether the cautious support or this 'wait and see' message turn out to be more significant in the end. Labels: Liberal Democrats, media, The Guardian CK does rather more than "somewhat endorse" the coalition Sunder, as when he lays into Labour's attitude after the election - "I've no doubt that a sizeable swathe withing Labour where happier in the luxury of opposition", not to mention his direct criticisms of John Reid and David Blunkett. It's clear that he thinks any chance of a deal with Labour was wrecked by Labour and he also says Ed Miliband shows no sign of wanting one before the next election. It is a small point, but I don't think that works. CK's legitimate criticisms of Reid and Blunkett relate to their interventions in the period ahead of his abstention, and he then chose not to endorse it after that. He endorses the Coalition (in May 2011 as he did immediately when his colleagues disagreed with him in May 2010) in that he accepts it is a reality, so would prefer it to succeed, not fail. He hasn't learned to "love it", clearly. But he chose to withdraw endorsement even at a point when he knew a Lib-Lab deal wasn't going to happen. (And I simply don't know his personal views on other possible courses of action - ie whether he accepted the Huhne view that it was vital to agree one Coalition or the other, and to first rule out minority gvts). All old news now. I have always regarded the LibDem choice as a democratically legitimate one, of course, and one which was yours to make. I thought John Denham's account a year ago very plausible - on the Fabian panel you spoke on - that Labour wasn't in a position to make a deal, but that the LibDem leadership anyway thought the Con-LD deal more legitimate, given the result, though saw the advantages of negotiation, such as getting us this referendum opportunity.

__label__cc	0.718996	0.281004	Lisa Montan SWEDEN “We communicate with sound from birth…it’s elemental. Some things are impossible to explain in academic terms…it can only be framed like poetry. If you are working with poetry, you must then call yourself an artist; but it’s really just work, discipline.” Lisa Montan Lisa Montan (formerly Lisa Holmqvist) is a composer of music and sound art based in Stockholm. Her film music career has this far been outstanding. Lisa is the only female to have received a Swedish Guldbagge Award (the Swedish Oscar equivalent), for her haunting 2015 score for the film “Flocken”. It was her first feature film. For the same film, she was also awarded “Best Score” at Festival International du film d’Aubagne, as well as the Doris Filmgenipris. The jury described her work thusly: ”(Holmqvist’s) compositions demand the audience’s full attention to the film’s thematics and core, whilst at the same time they are extremely unique and incredibly beautiful.” Despite having earned these distinctions, she remains a principled and elusive figure within the composition world, working only on projects she feels she can bring the whole of her spirit to. “To let the film guide you, the answer is already there. I just need to ask the film “who are you?” A true multidisciplinarian, Lisa has brought her same intensity to visual mediums, working with costume and set design in film and theatre as well as collaborations with writers and tactile / visual artists. “To me it’s all communication, it’s all part of the same story.” Says Lisa. “I don’t see the difference between mediums…it’s all a way to try to be human. Where is it ok to be human?” Some of Lisa´s Recent work includes creating music for feature films 2019 – “LasseMajas Detektivbyrå: Tågrånarens Hemlighet” / Dir: Moa Gammal SF Studios. 2016 – “Euphoria”, Dir: Lisa Langseth / B-reel films. 2016 – “Dröm Vidare”, Dir: Rojda Sekersöz / 2afilm. TV series 2019 -“Allt Jag Inte Minns” Regi Beata Gårdeller / SVT, witch Lisa was rewarded “Music of the year in scripted program” at Riagalan 2020.

She is washing yet another sherd of Roman pottery. Her hands are cold. This must be the hundredth sherd washed today – or is it the thousandth? But this is different. With the mud washed off the sherd she can clearly see writing. The pot is a fairly standard type of Roman ceramic strainer, with many holes in the base for letting liquids escape. But inscribed round the side of the pot near the base is clear, and precisely created, writing. Before firing the vessel, someone had written the alphabet in the wet clay. On this sherd the letters from the middle the alphabet. How utterly remarkable. A craftsman, a literate potter, practising his or her writing skills on a humble kitchen vessel. Decoration is art but this is writing, a powerful symbol and a direct way of communicating with those who use his wares (and those who dig them up 2000 years later). It is not the only pot in Britain with the alphabet inscribed on it. Three other examples are known from elsewhere. But this is ours, in Sleaford, at Old Place, and we are all excited about it, none more so than the project’s pottery expert. No-one has ever seen him so fired-up. The site at Old Place is still buzzing! What else could be left there to find before back-filling? Dig Diary - Days 8 to 12 - 4th to 9th November This is archaeology! This is how any site progresses – nothing much seems to be happening for a while, then occurs the sudden realisation that a whole lot of spoil has been shifted, much has been exposed and interpretations of the newly exposed features abound. At the back of people’s minds is the Open Day on Sunday. The site must look its best to enable visitors to see what is happening but time is short and none is available for making it a pretty site. The rain is not helping with the work stopping regularly as the downpours make the site unworkable. Then, on Friday, the wind wrecks some of the infrastructure, trashing the Gazebo completely and causing the hasty removal of the shelter. But what about the archaeology. Well the many visitors on Sunday’s Open Day can view the splendour of Trench 1, placed with precision over two parallel walls of a medieval building. This has to be a Manor House – the walls are so thick and well-constructed. But what of the alignments of stones that seem to span the distance between the walls? What was their role? It is suggested that they could have supported cross beams on which would have been nailed a wooden floor, now all decayed. Yes, that would work and be needed in this soft ground. But what date is this Manor House? Well, walls are hard to date but it certainly seems to be pre the 16th century Manor House of the Hussey family. Suggestions seem to focus on the 13th century. But there does not appear from records to have been a Manor House at that time. Well, here it is, close to the site of the 16th century Manor but not on the site. History at Old Sleaford will have to be re-written! Meanwhile, in Trench 2, a trench through the ‘dark earth’, the build-up of Roman and post-Roman deposits, there are finds. Sherds from pottery of many types is recognisably Roman in date, right through to the 4th century, and animal bones indicate the meat joints consumed on the site through the centuries. There will be plenty of finds to wash! But what of the rest of Trench 2. What is that big semi-circular wall? An apsidal end of a Roman building? Part of a medieval chapel? Then a man thinks he has the answer. He has seen that ground plan before. It would appear to be part of a dovecote. Unfortunately it is right at the edge of the Trench and continues under the baulk. Visitors come to the site and are amazed to see what lies beneath the lawns of Old Place. They bill and coo, like the doves that once inhabited the place. The Mayor visits, impressed at the exposure of early history of the town he now fronts. Another successful day. Dig Diary - Day 6 & 7 - 2nd/3rd November Its getting serious! Backs and shoulders are aching as the excavation continues. Serious amounts of spoil are being shifted and interpretations are being put forward. It is often said that, as a pursuit, archaeology is the perfect balance between the physical and the cerebral. That is certainly the case now. While Trench 1 is at the level where archaeology is abundant, those working in Trench 2 have to dig deep for the features. And dig they do. As always at Old Place there are finds a-plenty to keep the momentum going. Today, a Roman coin in Trench 1, some pottery (could there be an Iron Age sherd among the pieces?) and features - a beam slot perhaps - certainly a ditch, and all in the vicinity of the magnificent walls that showed up on Day 1. There will be loads to see at the Open Day on Sunday 8th November. Tonight at The Hub the group hosted a fascinating talk by Dr Michael Jones, former City of Lincoln Archaeologist and international expert on Roman Britain. In his talk ‘Lincoln in its Hinterland’ Michael summarised the archaeology of the city and looked beyond the city walls to the development of Roman Lincolnshire. In addition to the known finds Michael discussed various new methods of researching Roman Britain. There will be plenty for the group to undertake to learn more about Old Sleaford’s heritage. For more information on the project and details on how to join, contact us at oldsleaford@gmail.com today! Dig Diary - Day 5 - 1st November A roman 'hairpin', poss. 2nd/3rd century, found on Sunday by a younger member of the group! Enthusiasm was just as high on a sunny Sunday as on a rainy Friday and Saturday. Great atmosphere on site as the past of Old Sleaford is slowly revealed to meet the present. It has been a day spent recording the archaeology so far exposed (the bit they never show you on TV archaeology programmes!) and also some further digging, with some amazing finds to brighten the day even further. Often finds come in two distinct categories – the standard ‘goodies’, the metalwork and the pretty stuff, and the less attractive but archaeologically significant. Both categories have been in evidence today. First-timer at Old Place, Holly, uncovered a beautiful Roman object, usually termed a hair-pin, but sometimes thought to pin together other items such as clothes. Mostly, such items are made of bone but this may have been made of ivory. Imagine finding that on your first day on site – unearthing some beautiful artefact that has lain buried for 1800 years! Well done Holly. Some metalwork was also forthcoming, including two jettons (tokens), thought to be of possibly 13th/14th century date. In the ‘ugly but highly significant’ finds category came a smattering of pottery sherds, mud-encrusted broken pieces of pottery which, when cleaned, turned out to date from the 10th century or thereabouts. This is one of the ‘blank’ spots in the otherwise near continuous history of settlement in the immediate vicinity of Old Place. Has the site got another period of archaeology yet to be uncovered – yet another story to tell? If you would like to help answer this and other questions about the fascinating past at Old Place, and to work alongside the area’s most knowledgeable archaeologists email oldsleaford@gmail.com Dig Diary - Day 3 & 4 - 30th/31st October Well the rains came down. On the positive side the site is not too hard to dig like it might have been in the summer. And, apart from when the rain was really heavy and the site too slippery for safety, the work went on. No soft, fair weather archaeologists here. The site is looking good. Parallel medieval walls in Trench 1 are clean and have been expertly exposed. These are not puny garden walls but large structural foundations. Elsewhere in Trench 1 the pits and ditches of the Roman period are being exposed. There is a lot of archaeology and, at present, not much of the natural gravels exposed. Plenty of work remains to be done. Trench 2 is also moving on apace. Things are less clear-cut here, apart from the presence of pits dug by builders to bury rubble (but at what date?). Because the archaeology is less-obvious in Trench 2 a series of one meter square test pits are being dug to clarify the deposits. These can be just as interesting, being windows on the earlier deposits. Finds are coming up at a rate and the team of ‘pot-washers’ are weaving their magic and what appear to be lumps of mud are being expertly cleaned with toothbrushes and (cold!!) water to be transformed into gleaming pottery, tile and the like. Surprises abound. It is like Christmas, with each ugly duckling of mud-covered lump being ‘unwrapped’ to become a beautiful swan-like sherd of raw Old Sleaford history. See you down there then?

I think the point of it is that like much data the figures are fascinating but it is quite difficult to interpret. Why do boys leave home earlier than girls? Why is there such a big difference between countries. Although obviously there will be differences between those countries where young people normally leave home to go to university and those where they usually move to another town or city. And I am sure some of it is explained by socio- economic factors. It costs money to leave home. But I am not sure this explains it all. I would be very interested in anyone else’s perspective on this data. « Young Entrepreneurs Autonomy and the importance of teachers » This entry was posted on Monday, October 1st, 2018 at 17:26 and is filed under careers, Data, Wales Wide Web.

Search Pontydysgu.org Racial bias in algorithms From the UK Open Data Institute’s Week in Data newsletter This week, Twitter apologised for racial bias within its image-cropping algorithm. The feature is designed to automatically crop images to highlight focal points – including faces. But, Twitter users discovered that, in practice, white faces were focused on, and black faces were cropped out. And, Twitter isn’t the only platform struggling with its algorithm – YouTube has also announced plans to bring back higher levels of human moderation for removing content, after its AI-centred approach resulted in over-censorship, with videos being removed at far higher rates than with human moderators. Gap between rich and poor university students widest for 12 years Via The Canary. The gap between poor students and their more affluent peers attending university has widened to its largest point for 12 years, according to data published by the Department for Education (DfE). Better-off pupils are significantly more likely to go to university than their more disadvantaged peers. And the gap between the two groups – 18.8 percentage points – is the widest it’s been since 2006/07. The latest statistics show that 26.3% of pupils eligible for FSMs went on to university in 2018/19, compared with 45.1% of those who did not receive free meals. Only 12.7% of white British males who were eligible for FSMs went to university by the age of 19. The progression rate has fallen slightly for the first time since 2011/12, according to the DfE analysis. From Raconteur. A recent report by global learning consultancy Kineo examined the learning intentions of 8,000 employees across 13 different industries. It found a huge gap between the quality of training offered and the needs of employees. Of those surveyed, 85 per cent said they , with only 16 per cent of employees finding the learning programmes offered by their employers effective. This is from a Tweet. In 1994 Stephen Heppell wrote in something called SCET” “Teachers are fundamental to this. They are professionals of considerable calibre. They are skilled at observing their students’ capability and progressing it. They are creative and imaginative but the curriculum must give them space and opportunity to explore the new potential for learning that technology offers.” Nothing changes!

__label__wiki	0.50828	0.50828	Home First Spin Ari Lennox Drowns Her Sorrows In ‘Whipped Cream’ Most of us can attest to the fact that breaking up is hard to do. However, oftentimes it isn't the act of separating from a former loved one that is the difficult part; it's the aftermath that often wrecks the most havoc on us. Even after a person is physically gone, learning a new normal is tough. Singer Ari Lennox returns with a new jam entitled "Whipped Cream," that manages to capture that sentiment perfectly On the self-penned single, the Dreamville signee waxes poetic about trying to get over an ex-boo despite the stronghold he seems to have on her thoughts. Even though it sounds like the breakup was for the best, she admits that she still cries at night over him and even has troubling watching television without seeing his face on random people. She tries a little retail therapy to no avail, even falling behind on rent all while trying not to care as much as she does about the "ungiving head ass" who haunts her dreams. Instead of the obligatory carton of ice cream to drown her sorrows in, she instead finds solace by eating whipped cream as she heals her aching heart. Produced by Elite, the song thumps along in a way that makes it easy to forget that this is a song about heartbreak. Backed by a smooth bass and some throwback horns, Lennox pines away while flexing the full range of her vocal abilities. "'Whipped Cream' is my little baby that expresses how I feel about an ex that I'm still not over. He's the same n***a that I talked about in PHO," she reveals about the inspiration behind the new song and some of her 2016 EP. Check out the latest from the first lady of J. Cole's Dreamville Records and see if it doesn't leave you nodding your head both to the beat and in agreement about the post-breakup struggle.

__label__wiki	0.823668	0.823668	1. The IUPAC Sysematic Approach I. The How and the Why 'The Why' : Naming untold numbers of compounds! The carbon atom is unique in its bonding in that it can form stable molecules consisting of chains of carbon atoms of any length. Coupled with the observation that each carbon atom forms four bonds to other atoms this leads to incomprehensibly large numbers of possible molecules. To be able to name such vast numbers of possible molecules requires a systematic approach consisting of a set of arbitrary rules which are readily learned and applied to each molecule individually to generate the name. The IUPAC nomenclature system is such a set of rules used widely by organic chemists and this introduction to nomenclature will outline the rules in this sytem for the simpler organic compounds. Note that in addition to names invented for compounds because of their origin, there were other attempts to produce a systematic nomenclature system before the IUPAC system and sometimes compounds have several different names, of which the IUPAC name may not be the one most commonly used. 'The How' : The two basic features of the IUPAC name. Because every organic compound contains carbon, and almost every one contains hydrogen, the names of these two elements do not appear directly in the compound names. Instead the IUPAC system names a compound based on the number of carbon atoms linked together in the longest continuous chain of carbon atoms. This is the first feature used in forming the IUPAC name. The second feature arises from the observation that different organic compounds containing similar carbon or non-carbon groups (so-called functional groups) within the the molecules react similarly. This leads to the compounds being grouped in families according to the functional groups that they contain, and gives a second characteristic to be used in the IUPAC name. At its simplest, the IUPAC name for an organic compound contains these two parts: a root indicating how many carbon atoms are in the longest continuous chain of carbon atoms a prefix and/or suffix to indicate the family to which the compound belongs. For example, the name ethanol (image below)indicates a carbon chain of length two (root: eth-) and an OH functional group (suffix: -anol).

__label__cc	0.508115	0.491885	Radio Needs To Go Over The Top Feb 14, 2018 \| Blog, Movies, Podcasting, Radio, Television Sometimes, one little piece of something bigger jumps out at you. This morning, I was reading a post about “radio’s digital future” from Fred Jacobs’ always interesting blog, and one thing made me want to smack my forehead. (Actually, it made me want to smack other people’s foreheads.) It’s a quote from Gordon Borrell, among other things, the founder of the Local Online Advertising Conference that jumped out at me. Asked about whether television and print folks are interested in podcasting and smart speakers, he answered thusly: “Here’s a crazy observation: radio’s competitors are more interested in podcasting and smart speakers than the radio industry itself. That’s because those in the print and TV industries view the digital space quite differently than radio. Theirs is a ‘multiplatform’ strategy, meaning they’ll seize upon any new platform as a distribution method for their content. This extends to things like OTT video programming. How many radio stations do you know have an OTT program or even know what it is?” An example of what OTT means for media: Disney is in the process of walking away from Netflix and is launching its ESPN OTT service this Spring with the Disney-branded one not far behind. Let this quote from some guy named Bob Iger drive the point home: “If anything points to the what the future of ESPN looks like, it will be this app.” Hold on. The future of ESPN isn’t on MVPD’s? It’s on an app?!? No kidding. Your radio transmitter is simply a means of content distribution, just like an MVPD. (An MVPD is cable & satellite TV, y’all.) The whole point of going over the top is that you bypass the middleman and get your content right to your audience. (In three paragraphs, we’ll get to why that matters.) So, yes, your transmitter is an OTT service; it’s just not a digital one. It’s at this point that we should also observe that if your radio station has an app, that’s at least the beginnings of an OTT service. Okay, let’s get to the part that should warm your content-creating heart…if you’re willing to accept its implications. If ESPN’s future is on an app, then ESPN has to change. Why? Because Disney doesn’t own the key content on ESPN, live sports. (In case you were wondering whether Mr. Iger realizes this, here’s one more key note from that Deadline story I linked to: “The company will invest in original content that will be made exclusively for the app, as it is doing for the general entertainment Disney OTT service launching in 2019.”) Why will ESPN have to do that? Here’s the long version of it, but if you’re turning a profit with the content you produce, you’re sharing a ton of that profit with the distribution channels – y’know, the broadcast and cable networks – who are airing your content. Said differently: if you’re the NFL, and you can distribute all your content – including the actual games – to consumers directly, why would you share any of the revenue earned by that content with ESPN, a broadcast network, or anyone else? (And if you’re a popular syndicated radio host, you’re sharing a ton of your revenue with local radio in exchange for access to their distribution channels, which you call transmitters.) And now, presenting the good news for radio creatives: you make your own content every day. That means two things: Some of what you make – hopefully a lot of what you make – is unique. You own it. No one else has it. People have to come to you to get it. Better yet, you already know how to make content! Now, you just have to make more content, stuff that isn’t just what you make on the radio. Why? Your fans are starving for what you have to offer, and by “what you have to offer,” I don’t mean “the same thing they already hear you doing.” They want it all. From you. That’s why the print and TV industries view the digital space differently from radio. It’s why the “failing” New York Times is doing ten figures a year in subscription revenue on the back of 2.5 million digital subscribers. If you think they’re doing that solely with old style print articles, you haven’t seen The Gray Lady lately. The NYT has been making short-form documentary films for years and has moved into the podcast space. In fact, come April, you’ll be competing with their The Daily podcast on terrestrial radio. If your radio station isn’t doing everything it can to create a full palette of content – that means audio content that listeners can’t get on the air, audiovisual content, and yes, “print” content in blog form as well – you’re missing out. Your audience loves content – it’s why they come to you. If your audience loves you, they’re inclined to love all the different kinds of content you provide them. Knowing that, why wouldn’t you provide your fans with lots of content? I know budgets are tight and everyone’s working harder than ever before, but – cliché alert – it’s time to work smarter. If you’re talent, what can you cut out in order to create one compelling video and one compelling written piece a week? If you’re in charge of the content, how can you reconfigure everyone’s responsibilities to make sure you’re giving your audience one compelling video and one compelling written piece a day? Or would you prefer that the TV and print people corner the market?

__label__cc	0.510934	0.489066	Devil May Cry 4 Review It’s been a while since I’ve had a lot of fun with a hack and slash. It’s also been a while since I’ve had fun with Devil May Cry (let’s face it, 3 was just ok, not good, ok). Now, DMC is back, but with a new protagonist. That’s right, Old Man Dante has taken a step aside to let in a new generation of Devil Hunter; one that looks almost exactly like him. However, while Nero may be a visual twin, the difference between handling these two is the difference between handling an SUV and a Lamborghini. Yes, you heard me right, you get to play as both characters, but unlike driving an SUV (and kinda like handling a Lambo) experiencing both characters is a blast. Dante is as familiar as ever…and apparently following DMC and before DMC2 (remember: DMC3 = prequel) he has become a GOD. When you first handle him, it will be like a reunion with an old friend. But, as with all things, Dante has changed with time. Seriously, this man is beefed up and ready to destroy anything or anyone in his path. Yes, you can switch weapons on the fly still. But they added something even better; now you can switch fighting styles on the fly as well. While that may not seem like a big deal, as you begin to get accustomed to how it works, switching styles and weapons end up becoming incredibly fun. You also get some Devil Arms as Dante, the two coolest being Pandora and Lucifer. Pandora is a box with 666 different forms; in game you use about 7 of them, all of them being ridiculously powerful. Lucifer is a melee weapon that sticks exploding spikes into your opponent; it also provides Dante with the opportunity to make jokes about his male member. Either way, playing with Dante has become even better and more badass. However, the star of this show is Nero; and let me tell you, this star shines bright. Ok, so Nero looks much cooler than depicted above (although how cool would that be if he were in Mario Galaxy?). But what sets him apart from Dante (aside from being the whiny Raiden to Dante’s badass Solid Snake) is his arm, the Devil Bringer. This demonic arm not only looks awesome, but drastically changes gameplay. In fact, how you fight with Nero and how you fight with Dante are two drastically different styles. Basic move sets are similar yes, but the Snatch ability that Nero gains early on means that you no longer have to run down enemies, you can bring them to you! Even if they are too big to pull near you (for example, the GIANT BOSSES), you can use it to pull yourself towards them. Either way, this allows you to string up massive combos in no time. Also, the devil bringer is unbelievably powerful, allowing you to punch and throw every demon in your path…EVERY DEMON. But enough about Nero, let’s touch a little bit more on the pace of the game and the visuals. While the gameplay has experience some very refreshing changes, the story very much follows our traditional DMC formula. Boy has demonic power. Boy progressively unlocks true potential of demonic power. Boy becomes involved with some sort of girl. Boy runs into ridiculous amounts of evil spooky scarecrows. Boy pounds the crap out of giant boss demons. Boy fights other variety of lesser demons. Boy pounds the crap out of giant boss demons again. Boy finds out about greater plot to destroy/take over/both the world with even giant-er demon/person with demonic powers. Boy saves the day with ambiguous ending leading to further titles??? DMC 4 is no different, but it does this much better. The cast of characters you meet along the way has never been so good. The relationships these people have make you feel for them, both the good and the evil. It also helps that DMC 4 sticks you in rich, colorful environments that appeal to the eye and provide great context for your battles. Also, the character models are very well polished and look great during gameplay. The only disappointment are the movie visuals. While the don’t look as good as they absolutely good be, I believe this is because they were rendered with the same graphics as the gameplay. The game is also completely voice acted, and voice acted very well. You feel the characters, and their personalities shine through their voices. So a game with excellent gameplay, great visuals and good sound, what’s downside? Well, one of the most notable is difficulty. Overall, the game is not terribly difficult. However, there are times where you are stuck in a situation where you are entirely flooded with tons of baddies. Yeah, you can fight your way out, but it really becomes a pain when you can’t see your character because enemies are all around you on one side and a wall is in the way on the other. DMC 4 also has refused to fix a couple of it’s old problems as well. Platforming is still a huge pain and the cause of a countless number of thrown controllers and roars of anger. The camera will still choose really inconvenient ways to switch and lock into position, causing you to run back and forth in place for 4 minutes till you figure it out. Oh, and if you lose your way…good luck on finding where to go next. Still, even with all the bad, overall Devil May Cry 4 is a spectacular game. Flawless work of art that deserves all the Best Game awards this year? Ehh…maybe not, but I would be offended if I saw it walking away with maybe one or two. Let me tell you this, as of right now, this might be the best hack and slash game out there. You should definately play it at least once, if not own it and play it multiple times. Even if you can’t buy into the story, the gameplay is worth it all. Art Direction: Very pretty environments and great character models earn it praise. However, I would have like to see more out of the movies. Sound Design: Fully voice acted, and done very well for that matter. The music of the game is the typical pipe organ followed with thrasher metal during combat, so nothing new and exciting there. Also, at times Nero comes off sounding like a whiny little bitch. Though, if he was meant to be one, then the voice actor got it down pat. Gameplay: The best I’ve seen in a long time. Sure the platforming kinda stinks, but who cares when you’re playing a game known for it’s combat? It will be really hard for the DMC boys to top themselves when DMC 5 is release (you know they’re gonna make it). Engagement: This game definately keeps you in there and wanting for more. Not only do the things you do look awesomely badass, but as you do them you feel like a badass yourself. It also helps that you can end up caring about your mission, and for the characters and their relationships. The new weapons and aspects to the combat will make you come back to see just how long you can keep that SSS rating going. This game will have you engrossed while you play it and will make you want for more. Especially more Dante. Wasn’t nearly enough Dante. OVERALL: 4 STARS Previous Post My role.

__label__wiki	0.519671	0.519671	By Alex Quick Image October 7, 2016 The Zilwaukee Bridge M-13 in Zilwaukee, Michigan (September 2013) The Zilwaukee Bridge is a gateway. As most know, Michigan has two peninsulas: the Upper and the Lower. But within the lower peninsula, there is its own north-south distinction. There are the more urban and industrial areas of the southern half, and the cottage country of northern Michigan. While the border between these two is up for debate, for many the north starts at the Zilwaukee Bridge. From an engineering standpoint, the bridge rises up 125 feet over the flat, almost-rural land around it, and carries Interstate 75 over the Saginaw River, Michigan’s busiest navigable inland waterway. From a cultural standpoint, it raises downstate Michiganders from the fusses of living to places of relaxation and rest. From a spiritual standpoint, it carries wearied souls into places of life. bridgeculturegeographylandMichiganwater Alex Quick Alex Quick lives in Battle Creek, Michigan. Despite a number of attempts to escape into the Great White North, he continues to come back to the Great Lakes State, and currently works nights as a hospital chaplain.

Miller has a very popular road racing that is open for public when it is not being used for pro races. The park hosts top international races in many classifications. But it does not have a motocross track – yet. A permanent facility will be constructed in time for the Lucas Championship tour stop on Aug. 17. The Deseret News has this article about the announcement. Below are excerpts. The size of the facility and the use the permanent garages, grandstands and suites at Miller Motorsports Park will be a first for this series, which normally hosts its events on rural motocross tracks rather than at established racing facilities. "The Utah National is going to be a milestone event," said Davey Coombs, President of MX Sports Pro Racing. "Miller Motorsports Park is an amazing facility, with incredible amenities that our teams and fans will love, in a market where action sports are everywhere. It is a different sort of venue than we are accustomed to visiting, but it is ideal in light of the rapid growth our series is enjoying. We think it's a perfect fit for us, and we can't wait to show the great fans in Utah what the Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship is all about." The addition of this event give the state two major dirt-bike race events, with Salt Lake City's Rice-Eccles Stadium hosting one of AMA Supercross' 17 events on April 27.

__label__wiki	0.517849	0.517849	'Carnacki the Ghost Finder: The House Among the Laurels' by William Hope Hodgson "This is a curious yarn that I am going to tell you," said Carnacki, as after a quiet little dinner we made ourselves comfortable in his cozy dining room. "I have just got back from the West of Ireland," he continued. "Wentworth, a friend of mine, has lately had rather an unexpected legacy, in the shape of a large estate and manor, about a mile and a half outside of the village of Korunton. This place is named Gannington Manor, and has been empty a great number of years; as you will find is almost always the case with Houses reputed to be haunted, as it is usually termed. "It seems that when Wentworth went over to take possession, he found the place in very poor repair, and the estate totally uncared for, and, as I know, looking very desolate and lonesome generally. He went through the big house by himself, and he admitted to me that it had an uncomfortable feeling about it; but, of course, that might be nothing more than the natural dismalness of a big, empty house, which has been long uninhabited, and through which you are wandering alone. "When he had finished his look 'round, he went down to the village, meaning to see the one-time Agent of the Estate, and arrange for someone to go in as caretaker. The Agent, who proved by the way to be a Scotchman, was very willing to take up the management of the Estate once more; but he assured Wentworth that they would get no one to go in as caretaker; and that his—the Agent's—advice was to have the house pulled down, and a new one built. "This, naturally, astonished my friend, and, as they went down to the village, he managed to get a sort of explanation from the man. It seems that there had been always curious stories told about the place, which in the early days was called Landru Castle, and that within the last seven years there had been two extraordinary deaths there. In each case they had been tramps, who were ignorant of the reputation of the house, and had probably thought the big empty place suitable for a night's free lodging. There had been absolutely no signs of violence to indicate the method by which death was caused, and on each occasion the body had been found in the great entrance hall. "By this time they had reached the inn where Wentworth had put up, and he told the Agent that he would prove that it was all rubbish about the haunting, by staying a night or two in the Manor himself. The death of the tramps was certainly curious; but did not prove that any supernatural agency had been at work. They were but isolated accidents, spread over a large number of years by the memory of the villagers, which was natural enough in a little place like Korunton. Tramps had to die some time, and in some place, and it proved nothing that two, out of possibly hundreds who had slept in the empty house, had happened to take the opportunity to die under shelter. "But the Agent took his remark very seriously, and both he and Dennis the landlord of the inn, tried their best to persuade him not to go. For his 'sowl's sake,' Irish Dennis begged him to do no such thing; and because of his 'life's sake,' the Scotchman was equally in earnest. "It was late afternoon at the time, and as Wentworth told me, it was warm and bright, and it seemed such utter rot to hear those two talking seriously about the impossible. He felt full of pluck, and he made up his mind he would smash the story of the haunting, at once by staying that very night, in the Manor. He made this quite clear to them, and told them that it would be more to the point and to their credit, if they offered to come up along with him, and keep him company. But poor old Dennis was quite shocked, I believe, at the suggestion; and though Tabbit, the Agent, took it more quietly, he was very solemn about it. "It seems that Wentworth did go; and though, as he said to me, when the evening began to come on, it seemed a very different sort of thing to tackle. "A whole crowd of the villagers assembled to see him off; for by this time they all knew of his intention. Wentworth had his gun with him, and a big packet of candles; and he made it clear to them all that it would not be wise for anyone to play any tricks; as he intended to shoot 'at sight.' And then, you know, he got a hint of how serious they considered the whole thing; for one of them came up to him, leading a great bullmastiff, and offered it to him, to take to keep him company. Wentworth patted his gun; but the old man who owned the dog shook his head and explained that the brute might warn him in sufficient time for him to get away from the castle. For it was obvious that he did not consider the gun would prove of any use. "Wentworth took the dog, and thanked the man. He told me that, already, he was beginning to wish that he had not said definitely that he would go; but, as it was, he was simply forced to. He went through the crowd of men, and found suddenly that they had all turned in a body and were keeping him company. They stayed with him all the way to the Manor, and then went right over the whole place with him. "It was still daylight when this was finished; though turning to dusk; and, for a while, the men stood about, hesitating, as if they felt ashamed to go away and leave Wentworth there all alone. He told me that, by this time, he would gladly have given fifty pounds to be going back with them. And then, abruptly, an idea came to him. He suggested that they should stay with him, and keep him company through the night. For a time they refused, and tried to persuade him to go back with them; but finally he made a proposition that got home to them all. He planned that they should all go back to the inn, and there get a couple of dozen bottles of whisky, a donkey-load of turf and wood, and some more candles. Then they would come back, and make a great fire in the big fire-place, light all the candles, and put them 'round the place, open the whisky and make a night of it. And, by Jove! he got them to agree. "They set off back, and were soon at the inn, and here, whilst the donkey was being loaded, and the candles and whisky distributed, Dennis was doing his best to keep Wentworth from going back; but he was a sensible man in his way, for when he found that it was no use, he stopped. You see, he did not want to frighten the others from accompanying Wentworth. "'I tell ye, sorr,' he told him, ''tis of no use at all, thryin' ter reclaim ther castle. 'Tis curst with innocent blood, an' ye'll be betther pullin' it down, an' buildin' a fine new wan. But if ye be intendin' to shtay this night, kape the big dhoor open whide, an' watch for the bhlood-dhrip. If so much as a single dhrip falls, don't shtay though all the gold in the worrld was offered ye.' "Wentworth asked him what he meant by the blood-drip. "'Shure,' he said, ''tis the bhlood av thim as ould Black Mick 'way back in the ould days kilt in their shlape. 'Twas a feud as he pretendid to patch up, an' he invited thim—the O'Haras they was—siventy av thim. An' he fed thim, an' shpoke soft to thim, an' thim thrustin' him, sthayed to shlape with him. Thin, he an' thim with him, stharted in an' mhurdered thim wan an' all as they slep'. 'Tis from me father's grandfather ye have the sthory. An' sence thin 'tis death to any, so they say, to pass the night in the castle whin the bhlood-dhrip comes. 'Twill put out candle an' fire, an' thin in the darkness the Virgin Herself would be powerless to protect ye.' "Wentworth told me he laughed at this; chiefly because, as he put it:—'One always must laugh at that sort of yarn, however it makes you feel inside.' He asked old Dennis whether he expected him to believe it. "'Yes, sorr,' said Dennis, 'I do mane ye to b'lieve it; an' please God, if ye'll b'lieve, ye may be back safe befor' mornin'.' The man's serious simplicity took hold of Wentworth, and he held out his hand. But, for all that, he went; and I must admire his pluck. "There were now about forty men, and when they got back to the Manor—or castle as the villagers always call it—they were not long in getting a big fire going, and lighted candles all 'round the great hall. They had all brought sticks; so that they would have been a pretty formidable lot to tackle by anything simply physical; and, of course, Wentworth had his gun. He kept the whisky in his own charge; for he intended to keep them sober; but he gave them a good strong tot all 'round first, so as to make things seem cheerful; and to get them yearning. If you once let a crowd of men like that grow silent, they begin to think, and then to fancy things. "The big entrance door had been left wide open, by his orders; which shows that he had taken some notice of Dennis. It was a quiet night, so this did not matter, for the lights kept steady, and all went on in a jolly sort of fashion for about three hours. He had opened a second lot of bottles, and everyone was feeling cheerful; so much so that one of the men called out aloud to the ghosts to come out and show themselves. And then, you know a very extraordinary thing happened; for the ponderous main door swung quietly and steadily to, as though pushed by an invisible hand, and shut with a sharp click. "Wentworth stared, feeling suddenly rather chilly. Then he remembered the men, and looked 'round at them. Several had ceased their talk, and were staring in a frightened way at the big door; but the great number had never noticed, and were talking and yarning. He reached for his gun, and the following instant the great bullmastiff set up a tremendous barking, which drew the attention of the whole company. "The hall I should tell you is oblong. The south wall is all windows; but the north and east have rows of doors, leading into the house, whilst the west wall is occupied by the great entrance. The rows of doors leading into the house were all closed, and it was toward one of these in the north wall that the big dog ran; yet he would not go very close; and suddenly the door began to move slowly open, until the blackness of the passage beyond was shown. The dog came back among the men, whimpering, and for a minute there was an absolute silence. "Then Wentworth went out from the men a little, and aimed his gun at the doorway. "'Whoever is there, come out, or I shall fire,' he shouted; but nothing came, and he blazed forth both barrels into the dark. As though the report had been a signal, all the doors along the north and east walls moved slowly open, and Wentworth and his men were staring, frightened into the black shapes of the empty doorways. "Wentworth loaded his gun quickly, and called to the dog; but the brute was burrowing away in among the men; and this fear on the dog's part frightened Wentworth more, he told me, than anything. Then something else happened. Three of the candles over in the corner of the hall went out; and immediately about half a dozen in different parts of the place. More candles were put out, and the hall had become quite dark in the corners. "The men were all standing now, holding their clubs, and crowded together. And no one said a word. Wentworth told me he felt positively ill with fright. I know the feeling. Then, suddenly, something splashed on to the back of his left hand. He lifted it, and looked. It was covered with a great splash of red that dripped from his fingers. An old Irishman near to him, saw it, and croaked out in a quavering voice:—'The bhlood-dhrip!' When the old man called out, they all looked, and in the same instant others felt it upon them. There were frightened cries of:—'The bhlood-dhrip! The bhlood-dhrip!' And then, about a dozen candles went out simultaneously, and the hall was suddenly dark. The dog let out a great, mournful howl, and there was a horrible little silence, with everyone standing rigid. Then the tension broke, and there was a mad rush for the main door. They wrenched it open, and tumbled out into the dark; but something slammed it with a crash after them, and shut the dog in; for Wentworth heard it howling as they raced down the drive. Yet no one had the pluck to go back to let it out, which does not surprise me. "Wentworth sent for me the following day. He had heard of me in connection with that Steeple Monster Case. I arrived by the night mail, and put up with Wentworth at the inn. The next day we went up to the old Manor, which certainly lies in rather a wilderness; though what struck me most was the extraordinary number of laurel bushes about the house. The place was smothered with them; so that the house seemed to be growing up out of a sea of green laurel. These, and the grim, ancient look of the old building, made the place look a bit dank and ghostly, even by daylight. "The hall was a big place, and well lit by daylight; for which I was not sorry. You see, I had been rather wound-up by Wentworth's yarn. We found one rather funny thing, and that was the great bullmastiff, lying stiff with its neck broken. This made me feel very serious; for it showed that whether the cause was supernatural or not, there was present in the house some force exceedingly dangerous to life. "Later, whilst Wentworth stood guard with his shotgun, I made an examination of the hall. The bottles and mugs from which the men had drunk their whisky were scattered about; and all over the place were the candles, stuck upright in their own grease. But in the somewhat brief and general search, I found nothing; and decided to begin my usual exact examination of every square foot of the place—not only of the hall, in this case, but of the whole interior of the castle. "I spent three uncomfortable weeks, searching; but without result of any kind. And, you know, the care I take at this period is extreme; for I have solved hundreds of cases of so-called 'hauntings' at this early stage, simply by the most minute investigation, and the keeping of a perfectly open mind. But, as I have said, I found nothing. During the whole of the examination, I got Wentworth to stand guard with his loaded shotgun; and I was very particular that we were never caught there after dusk. "I decided now to make the experiment of staying a night in the great hall, of course 'protected.' I spoke about it to Wentworth; but his own attempt had made him so nervous that he begged me to do no such thing. However, I thought it well worth the risk, and I managed in the end to persuade him to be present. "With this in view, I went to the neighboring town of Gaunt, and by an arrangement with the Chief Constable I obtained the services of six policemen with their rifles. The arrangement was unofficial, of course, and the men were allowed to volunteer, with a promise of payment. "When the constables arrived early that evening at the inn, I gave them a good feed; and after that we all set out for the Manor. We had four donkeys with us, loaded with fuel and other matters; also two great boarhounds, which one of the police led. When we reached the house, I set the men to unload the donkeys; whilst Wentworth and I set-to and sealed all the doors, except the main entrance, with tape and wax; for if the doors were really opened, I was going to be sure of the fact. I was going to run no risk of being deceived by ghostly hallucination, or mesmeric influence. "By the time that this was done, the policemen had unloaded the donkeys, and were waiting, looking about them, curiously. I set two of them to lay a fire in the big grate, and the others I used as I required them. I took one of the boarhounds to the end of the hall furthest from the entrance, and there I drove a staple into the floor, to which I tied the dog with a short tether. Then, 'round him, I drew upon the floor the figure of a Pentacle, in chalk. Outside of the Pentacle, I made a circle with garlic. I did exactly the same thing with the other hound; but over more in the northeast corner of the big hall, where the two rows of doors make the angle. "When this was done, I cleared the whole center of the hall, and put one of the policemen to sweep it; after which I had all my apparatus carried into the cleared space. Then I went over to the main door and hooked it open, so that the hook would have to be lifted out of the hasp, before the door could be closed. After that, I placed lighted candles before each of the sealed doors, and one in each corner of the big room; and then I lit the fire. When I saw that it was properly alight, I got all the men together, by the pile of things in the center of the room, and took their pipes from them; for, as the Sigsand MS. has it:—'Theyre must noe lyght come from wythin the barryier.' And I was going to make sure. "I got my tape measure then, and measured out a circle thirty-three feet in diameter, and immediately chalked it out. The police and Wentworth were tremendously interested, and I took the opportunity to warn them that this was no piece of silly mumming on my part; but done with a definite intention of erecting a barrier between us and any ab-human thing that the night might show to us. I warned them that, as they valued their lives, and more than their lives it might be, no one must on any account whatsoever pass beyond the limits of the barrier that I was making. "After I had drawn the circle, I took a bunch of the garlic, and smudged it right 'round the chalk circle, a little outside of it. When this was complete, I called for candles from my stock of material. I set the police to lighting them, and as they were lit, I took them, and sealed them down on the floor, just within the chalk circle, five inches apart. As each candle measured approximately one inch in diameter, it took sixty-six candles to complete the circle; and I need hardly say that every number and measurement has a significance. "Then, from candle to candle I took a 'gayrd' of human hair, entwining it alternately to the left and to the right, until the circle was completed, and the ends of the hair shod with silver, and pressed into the wax of the sixty-sixth candle. "It had now been dark some time, and I made haste to get the 'Defense' complete. To this end, I got the men well together, and began to fit the Electric Pentacle right around us, so that the five points of the Defensive Star came just within the Hair Circle. This did not take me long, and a minute later I had connected up the batteries, and the weak blue glare of the intertwining vacuum tubes shone all around us. I felt happier then; for this Pentacle is, as you all know, a wonderful 'Defense.' I have told you before, how the idea came to me, after reading Professor Garder's 'Experiments with a Medium.' He found that a current, of a certain number of vibrations, in vacuo, 'insulated' the medium. It is difficult to suggest an explanation non-technically, and if you are really interested you should read Carder's lecture on 'Astral Vibrations Compared with Matero-involuted Vibrations below the Six-Billion Limit.' "As I stood up from my work, I could hear outside in the night a constant drip from the laurels, which as I have said, come right up around the house, very thick. By the sound, I knew that a 'soft' rain had set in; and there was absolutely no wind, as I could tell by the steady flames of the candles. "I stood a moment or two, listening, and then one of the men touched my arm, and asked me in a low voice, what they should do. By his tone, I could tell that he was feeling something of the strangeness of it all; and the other men, including Wentworth, were so quiet that I was afraid they were beginning to get shaky. "I set-to, then, and arranged them with their backs to one common center; so that they were sitting flat upon the floor, with their feet radiating outward. Then, by compass, I laid their legs to the eight chief points, and afterward I drew a circle with chalk around them; and opposite to their feet, I made the Eight Signs of the Saaamaaa Ritual. The eighth place was, of course, empty; but ready for me to occupy at any moment; for I had omitted to make the Sealing Sign to that point, until I had finished all my preparations, and could enter the Inner Star. "I took a last look 'round the great hall, and saw that the two big hounds were lying quietly, with their noses between their paws. The fire was big and cheerful, and the candles before the two rows of doors, burnt steadily, as well as the solitary ones in the corners. Then I went 'round the little star of men, and warned them not to be frightened whatever happened; but to trust to the 'Defense'; and to let nothing tempt or drive them to cross the Barriers. Also, I told them to watch their movements, and to keep their feet strictly to their places. For the rest, there was to be no shooting, unless I gave the word. "And now at last, I went to my place, and, sitting down, made the Eighth sign just beyond my feet. Then I arranged my camera and flashlight handy, and examined my revolver. "Wentworth sat behind the First Sign, and as the numbering went 'round reversed, that put him next to me on my left. I asked him, in a low voice, how he felt; and he told me, rather nervous; but that he felt confidence in my knowledge and was resolved to go through with the matter, whatever happened. "We settled down to wait. There was no talking, except that, once or twice, the police bent toward one another, and whispered odd remarks concerning the hall, that appeared queerly audible in the intense silence. But in a while there was not even a whisper from anyone, and only the monotonous drip, drip of the quiet rain without the great entrance, and the low, dull sound of the fire in the big fireplace. "It was a queer group that we made sitting there, back to back, with our legs starred outward; and all around us the strange blue glow of the Pentacle, and beyond that the brilliant shining of the great ring of lighted candles. Outside of the glare of the candles, the large empty hall looked a little gloomy, by contrast, except where the lights shone before the sealed doors, and the blaze of the big fire made a good honest mass of flame. And the feeling of mystery! Can you picture it all? "It might have been an hour later that it came to me suddenly that I was aware of an extraordinary sense of dreeness, as it were, come into the air of the place. Not the nervous feeling of mystery that had been with us all the time; but a new feeling, as if there were something going to happen any moment. "Abruptly, there came a slight noise from the east end of the hall, and I felt the star of men move suddenly. 'Steady! Keep steady!' I shouted, and they quietened. I looked up the hall, and saw that the dogs were upon their feet, and staring in an extraordinary fashion toward the great entrance. I turned and stared, also, and felt the men move as they craned their heads to look. Suddenly, the dogs set up a tremendous barking, and I glanced across to them, and found they were still 'pointing' for the big doorway. They ceased their noise just as quickly, and seemed to be listening. In the same instant, I heard a faint chink of metal to my left, that set me staring at the hook which held the great door wide. It moved, even as I looked. Some invisible thing was meddling with it. A queer, sickening thrill went through me, and I felt all the men about me, stiffen and go rigid with intensity. I had a certainty of something impending: as it might be the impression of an invisible, but overwhelming, Presence. The hall was full of a queer silence, and not a sound came from the dogs. Then I saw the hook slowly raised from out of its hasp, without any visible thing touching it. Then a sudden power of movement came to me. I raised my camera, with the flashlight fixed, and snapped it at the door. There came the great blare of the flashlight, and a simultaneous roar of barking from the two dogs. "The intensity of the flash made all the place seem dark for some moments, and in that time of darkness, I heard a jingle in the direction of the door, and strained to look. The effect of the bright light passed, and I could see clearly again. The great entrance door was being slowly closed. It shut with a sharp snick, and there followed a long silence, broken only by the whimpering of the dogs. "I turned suddenly, and looked at Wentworth. He was looking at me. "'Just as it did before,' he whispered. "'Most extraordinary,' I said, and he nodded and looked 'round, nervously. "The policemen were pretty quiet, and I judged that they were feeling rather worse than Wentworth; though, for that matter, you must not think that I was altogether natural; yet I have seen so much that is extraordinary, that I daresay I can keep my nerves steady longer than most people. "I looked over my shoulder at the men, and cautioned them, in a low voice, not to move outside of the Barriers, whatever happened; not even though the house should seem to be rocking and about to tumble on to them; for well I knew what some of the great Forces are capable of doing. Yet, unless it should prove to be one of the cases of the more terrible Saiitii Manifestation, we were almost certain of safety, so long as we kept to our order within the Pentacle. "Perhaps an hour and a half passed, quietly, except when, once in a way, the dogs would whine distressfully. Presently, however, they ceased even from this, and I could see them lying on the floor with their paws over their noses, in a most peculiar fashion, and shivering visibly. The sight made me feel more serious, as you can understand. "Suddenly, the candle in the corner furthest from the main door, went out. An instant later, Wentworth jerked my arm, and I saw that the candle before one of the sealed doors had been put out. I held my camera ready. Then, one after another, every candle about the hall was put out, and with such speed and irregularity, that I could never catch one in the actual act of being extinguished. Yet, for all that, I took a flashlight of the hall in general. "There was a time in which I sat half-blinded by the great glare of the flash, and I blamed myself for not having remembered to bring a pair of smoked goggles, which I have sometimes used at these times. I had felt the men jump, at the sudden light, and I called out loud to them to sit quiet, and to keep their feet exactly to their proper places. My voice, as you can imagine, sounded rather horrid and frightening in the great room, and altogether it was a beastly moment. "Then, I was able to see again, and I stared here and there about the hall; but there was nothing showing unusual; only, of course, it was dark now over in the corners. "Suddenly, I saw that the great fire was blackening. It was going out visibly, as I looked. If I said that some monstrous, invisible, impossible creature sucked the life from it, I could best explain the way the light and flame went out of it. It was most extraordinary to watch. In the time that I watched it, every vestige of fire was gone from it, and there was no light outside of the ring of candles around the Pentacle. "The deliberateness of the thing troubled me more than I can make clear to you. It conveyed to me such a sense of a calm Deliberate Force present in the hall: The steadfast intention to 'make a darkness' was horrible. The extent of the Power to affect the Material was horrible. The extent of the Power to affect the Material was now the one constant, anxious questioning in my brain. You can understand? "Behind me, I heard the policemen moving again, and I knew that they were getting thoroughly frightened. I turned half 'round, and told them, quietly but plainly, that they were safe only so long as they stayed within the Pentacle, in the position in which I had put them. If they once broke, and went outside of the Barrier, no knowledge of mine could state the full extent of the dreadfulness of the danger. "I steadied them up, by this quiet, straight reminder; but if they had known, as I knew, that there is no certainty in any 'Protection,' they would have suffered a great deal more, and probably have broken the 'Defense,' and made a mad, foolish run for an impossible safety. "Another hour passed, after this, in an absolute quietness. I had a sense of awful strain and oppression, as though I were a little spirit in the company of some invisible, brooding monster of the unseen world, who, as yet, was scarcely conscious of us. I leant across to Wentworth, and asked him in a whisper whether he had a feeling as if something were in the room. He looked very pale, and his eyes kept always on the move. He glanced just once at me, and nodded; then stared away 'round the hall again. And when I came to think, I was doing the same thing. "Abruptly, as though a hundred unseen hands had snuffed them, every candle in the Barrier went dead out, and we were left in a darkness that seemed, for a little, absolute; for the light from the Pentacle was too weak and pale to penetrate far across the great hall. "I tell you, for a moment, I just sat there as though I had been frozen solid. I felt the 'creep' go all over me, and seem to stop in my brain. I felt all at once to be given a power of hearing that was far beyond the normal. I could hear my own heart thudding most extraordinarily loud. I began, however, to feel better, after a while; but I simply had not the pluck to move. You can understand? "Presently, I began to get my courage back. I gripped at my camera and flashlight, and waited. My hands were simply soaked with sweat. I glanced once at Wentworth. I could see him only dimly. His shoulders were hunched a little, his head forward; but though it was motionless, I knew that his eyes were not. It is queer how one knows that sort of thing at times. The police were just as silent. And thus a while passed. "A sudden sound broke across the silence. From two sides of the room there came faint noises. I recognized them at once, as the breaking of the sealing-wax. The sealed doors were opening. I raised the camera and flashlight, and it was a peculiar mixture of fear and courage that helped me to press the button. As the great flare of light lit up the hall I felt the men all about me jump. The darkness fell like a clap of thunder, if you can understand, and seemed tenfold. Yet, in the moment of brightness, I had seen that all the sealed doors were wide open. "Suddenly, all around us, there sounded a drip, drip, drip, upon the floor of the great hall. I thrilled with a queer, realizing emotion, and a sense of a very real and present danger—imminent. The 'blood-drip' had commenced. And the grim question was now whether the Barriers could save us from whatever had come into the huge room. "Through some awful minutes the 'blood-drip' continued to fall in an increasing rain; and presently some began to fall within the Barriers. I saw several great drops splash and star upon the pale glowing intertwining tubes of the Electric Pentacle; but, strangely enough, I could not trace that any fell among us. Beyond the strange horrible noise of the 'drip,' there was no other sound. And then, abruptly, from the boarhound over in the far corner, there came a terrible yelling howl of agony, followed instantly by a sickening, breaking noise, and an immediate silence. If you have ever, when out shooting, broken a rabbit's neck, you will know the sound—in miniature! Like lightning, the thought sprang into my brain:—IT has crossed the Pentacle. For you will remember that I had made one about each of the dogs. I thought instantly, with a sick apprehension, of our own Barriers. There was something in the hall with us that had passed the Barrier of the Pentacle about one of the dogs. In the awful succeeding silence, I positively quivered. And suddenly, one of the men behind me, gave out a scream, like any woman, and bolted for the door. He fumbled, and had it open in a moment. I yelled to the others not to move; but they followed like sheep, and I heard them kick the candles flying, in their panic. One of them stepped on the Electric Pentacle, and smashed it, and there was an utter darkness. In an instant, I realized that I was defenseless against the powers of the Unknown World, and with one savage leap I was out of the useless Barriers, and instantly through the great doorway, and into the night. I believe I yelled with sheer funk. "The men were a little ahead of me, and I never ceased running, and neither did they. Sometimes, I glanced back over my shoulder; and I kept glancing into the laurels which grew all along the drive. The beastly things kept rustling, rustling in a hollow sort of way, as though something were keeping parallel with me, among them. The rain had stopped, and a dismal little wind kept moaning through the grounds. It was disgusting. "I caught Wentworth and the police at the lodge gate. We got outside, and ran all the way to the village. We found old Dennis up, waiting for us, and half the villagers to keep him company. He told us that he had known in his 'sowl' that we should come back, that is, if we came back at all; which is not a bad rendering of his remark. "Fortunately, I had brought my camera away from the house—possibly because the strap had happened to be over my head. Yet, I did not go straight away to develop; but sat with the rest of the bar, where we talked for some hours, trying to be coherent about the whole horrible business. "Later, however, I went up to my room, and proceeded with my photography. I was steadier now, and it was just possible, so I hoped, that the negatives might show something. "On two of the plates, I found nothing unusual: but on the third, which was the first one that I snapped, I saw something that made me quite excited. I examined it very carefully with a magnifying glass; then I put it to wash, and slipped a pair of rubber overshoes over my boots. "The negative had showed me something very extraordinary, and I had made up my mind to test the truth of what it seemed to indicate, without losing another moment. It was no use telling anything to Wentworth and the police, until I was certain; and, also, I believed that I stood a greater chance to succeed by myself; though, for that matter, I do not suppose anything would have taken them up to the Manor again that night. "I took my revolver, and went quietly downstairs, and into the dark. The rain had commenced again; but that did not bother me. I walked hard. When I came to the lodge gates, a sudden, queer instinct stopped me from going through, and I climbed the wall into the park. I kept away from the drive, and approached the building through the dismal, dripping laurels. You can imagine how beastly it was. Every time a leaf rustled, I jumped. "I made my way 'round to the back of the big house, and got in through a little window which I had taken note of during my search; for, of course, I knew the whole place from roof to cellars. I went silently up the kitchen stairs, fairly quivering with funk; and at the top, I went to the left, and then into a long corridor that opened, through one of the doorways we had sealed, into the big hall. I looked up it, and saw a faint flicker of light away at the end; and I tiptoed silently toward it, holding my revolver ready. As I came near to the open door, I heard men's voices, and then a burst of laughing. I went on, until I could see into the hall. There were several men there, all in a group. They were well dressed, and one, at least, I saw was armed. They were examining my 'Barriers' against the Supernatural, with a good deal of unkind laughter. I never felt such a fool in my life. "It was plain to me that they were a gang of men who had made use of the empty Manor, perhaps for years, for some purpose of their own; and now that Wentworth was attempting to take possession, they were acting up the traditions of the place, with the view of driving him away, and keeping so useful a place still at their disposal. But what they were, I mean whether coiners, thieves, inventors, or what, I could not imagine. "Presently, they left the Pentacle, and gathered 'round the living boarhound, which seemed curiously quiet, as though it were half-drugged. There was some talk as to whether to let the poor brute live, or not; but finally they decided it would be good policy to kill it. I saw two of them force a twisted loop of rope into its mouth, and the two bights of the loop were brought together at the back of the hound's neck. Then a third man thrust a thick walking-stick through the two loops. The two men with the rope, stooped to hold the dog, so that I could not see what was done; but the poor beast gave a sudden awful howl, and immediately there was a repetition of the uncomfortable breaking sound, I had heard earlier in the night, as you will remember. "The men stood up, and left the dog lying there, quiet enough now, as you may suppose. For my part, I fully appreciated the calculated remorselessness which had decided upon the animal's death, and the cold determination with which it had been afterward executed so neatly. I guessed that a man who might get into the 'light' of those particular men, would be likely to come to quite as uncomfortable an ending. "A minute later, one of the men called out to the rest that they should 'shift the wires.' One of the men came toward the doorway of the corridor in which I stood, and I ran quickly back into the darkness of the upper end. I saw the man reach up, and take something from the top of the door, and I heard the slight, ringing jangle of steel wire. "When he had gone, I ran back again, and saw the men passing, one after another, through an opening in the stairs, formed by one of the marble steps being raised. When the last man had vanished, the slab that made the step was shut down, and there was not a sign of the secret door. It was the seventh step from the bottom, as I took care to count: and a splendid idea; for it was so solid that it did not ring hollow, even to a fairly heavy hammer, as I found later. "There is little more to tell. I got out of the house as quickly and quietly as possible, and back to the inn. The police came without any coaxing, when they knew the 'ghosts' were normal flesh and blood. We entered the park and the Manor in the same way that I had done. Yet, when we tried to open the step, we failed, and had finally to smash it. This must have warned the haunters; for when we descended to a secret room which we found at the end of a long and narrow passage in the thickness of the walls, we found no one. "The police were horribly disgusted, as you can imagine; but for my part, I did not care either way. I had 'laid the ghost,' as you might say, and that was what I set out to do. I was not particularly afraid of being laughed at by the others; for they had all been thoroughly 'taken in'; and in the end, I had scored, without their help. "We searched right through the secret ways, and found that there was an exit, at the end of a long tunnel, which opened in the side of a well, out in the grounds. The ceiling of the hall was hollow, and reached by a little secret stairway inside of the big staircase. The 'blood-drip' was merely colored water, dropped through the minute crevices of the ornamented ceiling. How the candles and the fire were put out, I do not know; for the haunters certainly did not act quite up to tradition, which held that the lights were put out by the 'blood-drip.' Perhaps it was too difficult to direct the fluid, without positively squirting it, which might have given the whole thing away. The candles and the fire may possibly have been extinguished by the agency of carbonic acid gas; but how suspended, I have no idea. "The secret hiding paces were, of course, ancient. There was also, did I tell you? a bell which they had rigged up to ring, when anyone entered the gates at the end of the drive. If I had not climbed the wall, I should have found nothing for my pains; for the bell would have warned them had I gone in through the gateway." "What was on the negative?" I asked, with much curiosity. "A picture of the fine wire with which they were grappling for the hook that held the entrance door open. They were doing it from one of the crevices in the ceiling. They had evidently made no preparations for lifting the hook. I suppose they never thought that anyone would make use of it, and so they had to improvise a grapple. The wire was too fine to be seen by the amount of light we had in the hall; but the flashlight 'picked it out.' Do you see? "The opening of the inner doors was managed by wires, as you will have guessed, which they unshipped after use, or else I should soon have found them, when I made my search. "I think I have now explained everything. The hound was killed, of course, by the men direct. You see, they made the place as dark as possible, first. Of course, if I had managed to take a flashlight just at that instant, the whole secret of the haunting would have been exposed. But Fate just ordered it the other way." "And the tramps?" I asked. "Oh, you mean the two tramps who were found dead in the Manor," said Carnacki. "Well, of course it is impossible to be sure, one way or the other. Perhaps they happened to find out something, and were given a hypodermic. Or it is just as probable that they had come to the time of their dying, and just died naturally. It is conceivable that a great many tramps had slept in the old house, at one time or another." Carnacki stood up, and knocked out his pipe. We rose also, and went for our coats and hats. "Out you go!" said Carnacki, genially, using the recognized formula. And we went out on to the Embankment, and presently through the darkness to our various homes.

__label__cc	0.542747	0.457253	Michael Mina Offers Modernist Cuisine, Classically Elegant Stink-Free Facilities MICHAEL MINA Bellagio 3600 Las Vegas Blvd. South Las Vegas, NV USA 89109 http://www.michaelmina.net/ The restaurant itself is located behind the Bellagio Conservatory, in between the Dale Chihuly store and the hotel's 24-hour kitchen, the Bellagio Cafe. Once in the restaurant, head all the way to the rear of the place, rounding the open kitchen and slipping into the rear of the dining room. Keep steering left until you see the back entrance to the kitchen (which at this point is closed). Head that way, but turn right before reaching the kitchen door. Go down that hallway there and you'll find the bathrooms at the end. What's it like? This is a classy, high-minded and somewhat stuffy restaurant overlooking the Bellagio pool, with an emphasis on seafood and modernist plate presentation. That means you'll get very fresh seafood concoctions but they are served in a manner that makes the food look more like works of art on the plate than actual food. Some people like that sort of thing (Bobby Flay is a firm believer in putting presentation first, for example), and while I admired the minimalist presentations, I found the dishes themselves to be a bit pedestrian in inspiration and composition and didn't feel the end result was worth the hefty price tag. I had a tasting menu here, however I think that had I gone for the $80 lobster pot pie, which is what most of the diners were having, I would have been a little happier with the results. Such as it was, I ended up with a five-course meal that was decent (a great caviar starter, for example, and a fine dessert sampler) but not overwhelming (not like the meal I had at Bellagio neighbor Circo), and in a way I felt a bit cheated. Such is the modern spin on nouvelle cuisine, I guess. The place itself is decorated with a sort of hip elegance. The front dining room is filled with woods, while the back (overlooking the pool) emphasizes white linens, muted lighting and off-white colored walls and floors. The service is a little stuffy as well but it's still prompt and efficient. The prices are exorbitant no matter what you order. The bathroom, on the other hand, is warm, inviting, modest, classy, clean and unique -- everything you wish the rest of the restaurant would be. It's a long white room that accommodates only one person at a time. The toilet sits at the far end of the place (below an ornately framed mirror), the sink -- a beautiful white unit set in a glass vanity topped with flowers -- sits about halfway down on the left (when facing the back wall). Simple white marble tile lines the floor and walls. Cloth towels. Soft, flowery smelling soap that both moisturizes the skin and gets any fishy odor out. And impeccably clean! Even better: It don't hold odors. When I went for my visit, I had to stand in line to get in (it only holds one person, remember). The guy ahead of me in line claimed he'd been waiting a long time to get in -- which means the person inside was..... well, you know. Anyway, that guy came out and the next guy went in, and he proceeded to stay in the bathroom a good 10 minutes. By that point, I was thinking that I would be entering a gas chamber when it came around to my turn. BUT NO! When the next guy left, I eased into the room and was met with no trace of stink, just a flowery perfumed air (and not one that had been singed by air freshener) that reminded me of springtime. That made the experience all the more enjoyable! Marks out of 10: 10. A glorious place relieve yourself or inhale some stink-free air! Comments to the Management: The bathroom's damn near perfect -- it's the rest of the place I'm worried about. at 14:22 No comments: Labels: Rated 10 (out of 10) Circo Exudes Subdued Elegance Osteria del Circo 3600 Las Vegas Blvd S. http://www.bellagio.com/restaurants/circo.aspx The restaurant itself is located in the Bellagio casino. Once you reach the entrance to the Buffet, turn right (away from the Buffet) and head to the opposite end of the Casino. Circo will be one of the restaurants found in that part of the hotel. Once inside, the bathroom is easy to find. From the front door, head forward, past the bar, and turn right into an enclave there. The bathrooms are in there. This fantastic restaurant served me one of the best meals I've ever had -- and as a result I find myself incapable of talking about the place without discussing the meal as well. The eatery itself is decked out in a circus theme, with tent folds hanging from the ceiling, walls, carpet and booths colored in sharp yellows and blues and paintings of clowns hanging in corners and above tables. By this description, it sounds a bit tacky, sure, but that's hardly the case -- the decor manages to convey the circus theme while also being elegant and subdued enough so that it's not pressing or intrusive. The focus here is on exquisite service and remarkable food, and that surely took center stage on my visit. The menu itself is outstanding -- sort of a mix of hearty, well-prepared authentic Italian dishes (freshly baked breads, outstanding pastas and sauces, succulent roasted meat and fish) and seasonal ingredients. I had a five-course tasting menu here, with wine accompaniment (and yes, it was blazingly expensive, but then what isn't in Vegas?). I couldn't have imagined a better meal from a restaurant. I started with an oyster appetizer, a mixture of seasonal northwest-grown specialties that were the freshest and tastiest I've ever had. They were followed by a grilled squid salad in which the charred flavor of the meat proved strong enough to season the greens on which the squid sat. That was followed by hand-rolled spaghetti (thick stands that were very dumpling-like, instead of thin strands) topped with complex bolognese and bechamel -- a pasta dish so overwhelmingly delicious and nuanced that the couple sitting next to me, who was arguing at the time, stopped talking completely after they took a bite of it (theirs, not ours, that is). Yes, it was THAT good. That course was followed with potato-crusted salmon, which managed to highlight both the meatiness of the salmon and the delicate manner in which the potato was fried around it. That was followed by the house specialty, a roasted rack of lamb crusted with thyme and pecorino. The seasoning was pressed into the fat cap of the meat in such a way that the fat and crust became one and managed to infuse each bite of meat with the three flavors. It was the best lamb I've ever had. Dessert featured an outstanding chocolate lava cake served over a marion berry compote and a vanilla-infused creme brulee that I couldn't stop eating, even though I was already full enough to burst at that point. Both desserts were served with an assortment of home made biscotti, chocolates and candies..... Utterly divine. Each course was served by a friendly wait staff that explained both the composition and inspiration behind the dishes, and the sommelier came by before each course to ruminate about his accompanying wines. Service was laid back but attentive, and as a result I felt very much relaxed and at home here, despite the ever-present price tag. It was one of the best meal experiences of my life. Naturally, after experiencing such a glorious meal, visiting the bathroom becomes a necessity. Circo's facilities do not disappoint, though they are not quite as perfect as they should be. The loos do not extend the circus theme, thankfully, but they are just as understated and ornate as the rest of the place's decor. The walls and floors here are covered in alternating lines of light and dark blue mosaic tile. Because of the uniformity of the tile work, the fixtures become all the more striking against them. The sink and vanity, consisting of metallic sinks, a clear glass counter and a giant mirror framed with dark wood, make a stark, elegant and inviting presence. The white porcelain urinals stand out on the walls almost like pieces of art. The toilets, each in solitary rooms instead of mere stalls, provide elegant, private surroundings in which to do your business. The sinks dish out a lovely hand soap and visitors can dry their hands here with plush cloth towels. Given that, this is also a small restroom and because the restaurant is somewhat bustling it can make for a busy visit, especially for those seeking a longer, quieter visit. Also, the urinals could use some privacy blinds -- they tend to stick out a bit too much on the wall to offer a relaxed pee. Finally, I found some mis-thrown towels on the floor -- giving the impression that the place isn't policed by the cleaning crew as often as it should be. Still, coupled with the outstanding menu and unique decorative and modern touches, it's still a fabulous place to visit and experience. 9. Probably more deserving of an 8, but the food was soooooo good....... A few more passes by the cleaning crew would be nice, at least to pick up the towels on the floor. Also, you may want to consider adding a privacy blind between the urinals. Otherwise, it's a great bathroom. Bellagio Bathroom Is Belisimo http://www.bellagio.com/ This beautiful hotel on the Las Vegas Strip, known for its elaborate fountain show, has dozens of bathrooms in it. The one visited on this occasion was in the Spa Tower. To get there, do the following: From the front desk, go back towards the Conservatory, sticking to the left of it (go right and you'll end up at the hotel's casino). Continue walking, paste the 21-foot chocolate fountain and the waterfall-themed restaurant, Sensi, and head towards the Spa Tower elevators, which lead to the Spa Tower rooms. Go past the elevators leading to the Spa Tower rooms, past the sundries store, and then go left at the crossroads in the hallway. This will lead you to a dead end, on the left side of which is the bathrooms. (If you go straight or right, you will end up in the hotel's convention center wings.) Superb in every way. The room itself is spacious and stretching but not so much to make you feel like you're in a cavern. Rather, the design here emphasizes privacy, with the sinks sitting just ahead of the urinals and the urinals sitting just ahead of the stalls -- a perfect situation, really, so no one can sneak any peeks. Two sets of marble tile coat the spaces here. The floors are covered by two-color tile set in a modernist checkerboard pattern. The walls are covered with tile featuring streaks of beige and off-white. It's stately, elegant yet not off-putting -- essentially, you feel like you're in a museum but you don't mind leaving your mark. The sink area features elegantly framed mirrors above each station, along with automatic faucets that stream warm water and automatic soap dispensers, along with easy-to-reach paper towel (thick ply, of course) at every stop. The toilets are immaculately clean and all automatic flush -- and, thanks to the thick divider walls, you feel isolated inside them and free to go about your business at leisure, even if the place is packed. Best yet, these bathrooms cater mostly to those entering or leaving the hotel's convention center, so they get little traffic. Also, they are somewhat tucked away and unless your convention hall area is nearby or you feel the need to go after leaving the sundries shop, you will probably never visit this bathroom. Keep up the good work. This is one of the hotel's true hidden treasures. Shocker: Hip, Stylish Restaurant Houses Hip, Stylish Bathroom with Broken Trashcan! The World Beat Cafe 3700 N. Wickham Rd. Melbourne, FL USA 32935 http://theworldbeatcafe.com Easy to find in theory, but a bit tricky to find in practice. From the front entrance, head to the left, past the front of the dining room. Once in the upper left corner of the place, head back a little, towards the rear of the place, and you'll see a small hallway opening on your left. Go through there to find the bathrooms. Having said that, the dining room here is filled with distractions, from artwork built into walls to tables and booths made of wavy lines instead of straight lines to plates of food with attention-getting presentations. Keep focused on the destination if you're in a hurry, otherwise you may end up in a spot of embarrassment. This energetic modern-fusion tapas bar, set in the northern part of Melbourne, bustles with hip energy -- not quite as manic or bohemian as Cafe Tu Tu Tango, its competitor and a seemingly major influence on the place -- but still enough to make it a place for socialization, not for a quiet evening for two. The menu is kind of hit or miss, some items being excellent (the Cuban black bean soup is outstanding) and others missing the mark completely (I wasn't prepared for the overly sour avocado egg rolls, for example -- ick). The bathrooms tone down the loudness of the dining room some while still adhering to the place's somewhat stylish vibe. Classy off-white tile covers the floors and rust-colored wall paper coats the walls, giving a chic hue to the surroundings and making the everything in it feel a touch more sophisticated -- even the generic white porcelain sink and toilets. And the place is spacious and clean for the most part: My visit was on a busy Saturday evening and while there were a few splotches of spilled water on the floor by the sink and a few paper towels tossed about, I didn't see anything unforgivable. Clearly the bathroom is policed regularly by the cleaning crew. The only setback (and perhaps the reason why there were paper towels on the floor) was the trash can. It's one of those metallic cylinders they sell at Bed Bath and Beyond, with a flip-up top that opens when you step on a floor pedal. Well, the floor pedal wasn't working, and thus the flip-up top wasn't flipping up and if you wanted to throw anything away, say the paper towel you used after washing your hands, you had to lift the lid with your freshly scrubbed hands to get it in the can..... Kind of negates the thought of returning to your table with clean hands, doesn't it? Given that, it makes sense why there were towels on the floor -- I imagine people would prefer that option than having to return to their tables to nosh on finger foods with hands that had just opened a trash can lid, so you really can't blame them...... 7. Almost and 8, except for.... Time for a new trashcan, don't you think? According to the Bed Bath and Beyond website, they sell for just under $40, which isn't too bad, if you think about it. Bathroom Decor Indicates Small Town Diner Doubles as Harley Davidson Hangout Town House Restaurant 9 E Broadway St Oviedo, FL USA 32765 The dining room here is shaped like an "L." So from the main entrance, head to the cashier (the counter is fixed into the apex of the "L") and then go left until you hit the back wall. A small door leading to the bathrooms (which are located in a small hallway behind that door) can be found there. This is one of the better diners in the Orlando area, thanks to its no nonsense menu, great service, unpretentious decor and many regular customers -- all of which makes you feel like you're always welcome here. The restaurant itself is set in the dead center of Orlando suburb Oviedo, the the awkward crisscross of the streets outside often make for a few parking complications (especially on weekends, when the church goers of the area bombard the place after services finish). Still, it's worth suffering some road rage for this place. The decor is filled with community-based items like kids' drawings and softball team pictures (they sponsor a team, of course) and the menu offers plenty of well-prepared and affordable comfort foods, as well as an assortment of decent Greek items (thanks to the Greek family that now owns it). Given that, you'd expect the bathrooms to be modest little spots that exude the same cozy, comfortable feelings as those expressed in the dining room. But no! The bathrooms (at least the men's room) are decked out in Harley Davidson colors -- and not in a subtle way. Matted orange paint covers the walls. Light gray tile covers the floors. Weathered white tile covers the lower walls and the areas around the white porcelain sink and urinal. There's even a huge Harley emblem on one wall! Clearly this homey restaurant has a darker side to it. And maybe it's wholesome church-going clientele isn't as innocent as it seems...... Or maybe the owners of nearby Bill's Elbow South (once a neighbor of the Town House before it moved to the Oviedo Market Place) helped them design the loos here? Hmm..... Anyway, it's clean and orderly for the most part, save for a bit of unique tile work (see picture to right). The urinals are of the old variety, which stretch to the floor (instead of being mini-toilets). The sink and stalls, as well as the tile work, are a bit weathered, and the bathroom itself is a touch on the narrow side (almost like they tried to revamp it some and settled on painting it instead), which could make it a tight fit if more than one person were waiting for the urinal at a given moment. 7. While the Harley decor has its appeal and interesting notes, the place could still use a bit of a makeover. So it's just barely a 7. Perhaps it's time to get new fixtures and tile, just to go along with the new paint job. May I suggest black sinks? Bar's Bathrooms Anything But Sporty -- Especially During Slow Lunchtime Rush Sanford Ale House 50 Towne Center Circle Sanford, FL USA 32771 http://www.alehouseinc.com From the entrance, go left, past half of the dining room, then the bar, then the high-top tables behind the bar, and then head to the back corner, past the pool tables and high tops behind the bar, until you reach a small wall dividing the dining room and the waitress stations. Go behind the dividing wall and head left (go right and you'll find the soft drink fountains) and you'll find the bathrooms there. This sports bar chain has several locations in the area. It's a semi-rowdy place that's a big hit with sports fans, especially the college football fans of the area. Inside, the place is styled like a classic New England pub, filled with wooden floors, a well-polished, enormous wooden bar in the center, plenty of wooden tables and high-tops and a vast array of TVs and beer signs on the walls. The food is decent enough, though at times its too greasy (I always feel like I gained 10 pounds when I leave the place), and their wings are some of the better in town (at least from a chain's point of view -- my vote still goes to Tom and Money's, which has been renamed something else of late, I hear, and Hurricane Wings, which will be reviewed in the coming weeks). Given that this is a place where sports guys and frat boys tend to congregate, you can imagine that the bathrooms are an utter mess. And they are. If you think about it, the patrons usually come here to fill up on beer and junk food, so pit stops are inevitable, especially since most visits are for a minimum of three to four hours (given that's the average length of a football game). As a result, you can expect some wear and tear from the bathrooms. Design-wise, the loos themselves are nothing special: Small rooms with four toilets in all (two urinals, two commodes) with green linoleum on the floor, a green vanity counter, and white tile on the walls. Little wall decor or any other bit of sports bar personality can be found here (clearly the designers haven't been to the Celebration Town Tavern, where this sort of decor is done well). In terms of overall cleanliness: On the whole, the city's Ale Houses manage to keep things a little tidy on the bathroom front (like the one on University -- still unreviewed -- or the one by the airport -- also unreviewed). The Sanford one was messy as hell however -- a point made all the more disappointing since my stop was during lunch on a weekday, not during any sort of game. Worse still, it was a very slow lunch rush indeed. I found spilled water everywhere, paper towels and toilet paper covering the floor, mis-sprayed urine on toilet seats and a funky, immensely strong stink of pee in the air. Certainly not very sporty, to say the least. Mind you, I might expect the loos here to be in this condition after this year's big Florida-LSU night game, as 250 Gator fans no doubt sought to purge the sorrow they felt when they're team lost it in the final minutes by drinking mass quantities of cheap beer and then hitting the head en mass. But not on a slow lunch on a weekday, with maybe 50 patrons in the place tops. 4. Almost rated a 5 but the fact that the place wasn't busy and still managed to be the dirtiest Ale House restroom I'd visited dropped it down a notch. I understand that bathrooms can't always be monitored when the place is busy, but that mentality certainly doesn't apply when the place is empty. In down times, get someone in there to tidy up a bit. Also, bring some extra air freshener, like Sebastian's Country Ham N Eggs does. Big Boy Offers A Clean but Sterile Throwback to the Past Big Boy Restaurant 795 Gateway Drive Altamonte Springs, FL USA 32714 http://www.bigboy.com From the entrance, head straight to the merchandise counter and turn immediately left, around the cashier and into the back left corner of the restaurant. You'll find the bathrooms there. This chain offers a throwback to the classic diners of the 1950s, where unpretentious greasy spoon food was served by overly friendly waitresses in a comfortable yet slightly tacky setting. The dining room is spotless and filled with bright yellows, reds and whites. The service is spectacularly attentive and friendly (upon sitting down, the first thing our waitress said was, "Hello, friends, can I get you a root beer or milkshake?" to which we responded, "Hell, yeah!"). And the food is decent, well-prepared and comforting. A solid diner through and through -- and with some great French fries to boot! The bathrooms follow suit, offering a clean environment that's both comfortable and cozy, yet a touch on the sterile side. Black linoleum covers the floor, and the walls are coated in bright white tiles with occasional red tile highlights to break the monotony. The sink and toilets, both made of gleaming white porcelain, are spotless. The only fault I found is, like I said, that the place feels a bit too sterile. Adding some kitschy wall decor or other bits of personality would alleviate this issue and make the loo just as relaxing as the rest of the place. 7. A very good bathroom that could reach a level of minor greatness if it loosened up a bit more. People like clean but they don't like robotic clean. As mentioned earlier, consider adding some throwback items to the walls or including similar items around the place to lighten the mood a little. This is a very good bathroom that could reach a level of minor greatness if it had a little more fun with the setting. Stuckey's Offers Little Privacy for Pee -- and Watch Out for Federal Immigration Agents and Alligators Too! Stuckey's of Fellsmere I-95 Exit 156 Sebastian, FL USA http://www.stuckeys.com Like most Stuckey's, this place wears many hats. It's part gas station, part souvenir shop, part fast food restaurant and part convenience store. Given the four identities, you'd think four bathrooms would accommodate the place. But no! There's only one bathroom here and it's a shoddy one tucked in the way back left corner of the shop, past the restaurant, convenience store, gas station cashier and souvenir shop. Of course you'll have to go through the whole lot of it to the loo, making it a bit of a tedious trek, especially if you're in a hurry.... To make the most of the trip, stick towards the souvenirs section, where you can see everything from Florida-orange-based foods (jams, jellies, marinades, etc.) to preserved baby alligator heads. Yum. The store around it isn't all that clean to begin with. Not that it's overtly dirty, but it also isn't exactly sparkling. For example, the floors are mopped but you can still see accumulations of dust and grime on them. The bathrooms are like that as well. White tiles, white porcelain fixtures, all of it serviceable but all of it also in need of some serious upkeep and updating. The wear and tear on the surroundings here certainly make the place look more run-down than it is, and it also highlights the grime hiding in the corners (a major oversight for anyone with a completely white bathroom, if you think about it). Functionally speaking, the sink faucets seem to have disappeared (perhaps eaten by one of the alligators in the souvenir shop?), leaving you to turn on the water by twisting these round metal knobs that sort of work and sort of don't. Expect lots of dripping here. It's also kind of gross, considering the place isn't that clean to begin with. Worse still, the men's room had no front door to it, and the secondary door is propped open permanently, which means that anyone entering the area can easily listen in to what's going on inside (or even peek, if he or she wanted to). Not exactly a desire setting for those in need of a longer visit. The fact that the place looks like an open locale to pick up migrant workers makes this oversight all the more frightening, because it adds a shoddy connotation to the place here. On top of it being a migrant hangout, you now must face the fact that immigration may at any second burst down the stall door in search of their man. 3. Could be higher but the fact that you can't close the bathroom door here really bothers me. I enjoy my privacy, even in shoddy surroundings, and I don't like to feel like I must be hurried. I don't mind the migrant thing -- heck, it's citrus country, so they're definitely needed to work the groves -- but do you have to let them board work buses in front of the place? Time to overhaul and update the place. It seriously needs it. Consider adding some knickknacks from the souvenir shop (or even some wall decor, like an add for the restaurant food) to give it some semblance of character. at 14:50 1 comment: Watch Out for Dangerous Nun On the Run Cafe-Bistro Am Pferdemarkt Pferdemarkt 5 No web site but there’s a good picture on google earth. You might want to jot this one down. Go through the main front doors of the restaurant. Head to the bar at the back of the restaurant. You’ll think this is the end of the place, but you’d be wrong. Look right and you’ll see a little passage that looks like it should head to the kitchens. Go down it and you’ll see it opens up into a whole second restaurant. Go down there and on the left there is an entrance to the toilets. Women head right, men to the left. What’s it like? Hameln (Hamelin to you and me) is the place where the Pied Piper did his stuff. Very quaint and very clean. The town has a family vibe to it that makes you feel at home, and although I’m sure its more of a tourist trap than we would have seen early evening midweek, it seemed to be mostly German speaking and authentic. They also did some great beer and after a tough meeting earlier in the day I’d have to admit to having partaken in one or two (or was it three) before I decided to head off to the toilette. I headed off to the bar looking forward to the imminent consumption of goulash. When I got there I managed my German for where’s the toilet and was obviously still sober enough to understand the instructions coming back at me. But could they really be correct? Getting ready for the mugging I found myself in the second restaurant, with several other diners eating away. Not so weird after all. And oh yeah, there are the toilets. So there I am entering the toilets, for no particular reason feeling rather smug with myself, when the door is flung open and I am literally knocked over by a flying nun who is positively running. At this point I just give up. Pied pipers I’m prepared for but a very Italian Whoopee Goldberg was not what I was expecting. So what about the toilets? Well, I guess the drama of getting to them has something of the entertainment factor. When you get in there the facilities have the feel of being Wimpy cast offs that have been around for a few years. Red grout and white tile never did it for wimpy and it certainly didn’t do it here. The toilets are also pretty cold on what wasn’t a cold day, but given that they are clean and everything worked they were certainly serviceable. 5 as they could do with some updating. Basic, but it’s good you keep them clean. Publix: Where Peeing’s A Pleasure? Publix Supermarket, Cornerstone at Lake Hart, 10615 Narcoossee Rd, FL. 32832, http://store.publix.com/publix/cgi/site?site=00886&address= Head to the left when you get in there and the signs are clear. Really it is easy. OK what have I said about supermarket toilets before? You don’t use them unless you really have to. That means I’d assume that most people don’t use them. Really, they should be deserted. So why was this place like the queue for a rush hour train. I really cannot imagine what had been put in the water around here to make this weekend stop off such a busy one. Maybe it was the average age of the customers. OK, so admittedly rather on the grumpy side, I manage to force my way in to the toilets. Being Publix, and I must profess I am a fan of Publix on the whole, you’d expect something a little different. Not overdone, but clean and functional. It’s a pity then that the wear and tear the slightly aged clientele had been putting on the place had made it more than a little messy. But I have to say we can’t just blame those who still cling to the ‘virtues’ of Cadillac and Oldsmobile for the state of the toilets in this place. For a fairly new store it was disappointingly grimy. You can just about see on the pictures how the grout hasn’t been touched since day one and has aged to a nicotine yellow. Yuk. So was this a relieving oasis that I needed it to be. No. Next time I’ll wait just the little longer. 5 and no more. Maybe free eyesight tests to the clientele are in order before you let them use the toilets? Then again someone who wanted to clean the place might not go amiss either. Bathroom Showcases Pig and Whistle's Love of Novelty Signs The Pig and Whistle Pub: A Fish and Chip Shop 40 S. Fleming Street http://www.pigandwhistlepub.com/ This pub is situated in a narrow store front in a shopping center that once held the area's only Kash 'n' Karry supermarket. That store is long gone, leaving a big gaping hole in the center of this strip mall really, but the other small box stores are all occupied with mom-and-pop businesses like this one. The pub is the left corner of the mall, and its interior is pretty straight and narrow. The loo, as a result, is an easy find. From the front door, just head to the very back of the place (through the dining area and past the bar and kitchen window). Enter a hallway along the back -- the toilets will be on your right, the women's first and then the men's. This is a cute little pub that's mostly a local's hangout, though it's such a charming place, and the food's good enough, you might want to make the drive to visit. The atmosphere is part British, part Florida. Patrons here sit at antique-looking wooden tables covered with somewhat "old-fashioned" (i.e. tacky) clothes. Around them loom decorations like wooden knickknacks, beer signs, posters for soccer teams and more. Think Cracker Barrel with a decidedly British spin. Either way, it's a clean, unpretentious place to grab a beer and some food. The fish and chips here are some of the best in the area, which includes Melbourne and Orlando (believe it or not). Other noteworthy menu items include the creamy conch fritters and the chicken wings, which are fried to delicately crisp perfection here. The bathrooms extend the dining room's decor almost to a tee. The walls and floor are colored pasty green and the walls are literally covered with novelty signs -- many of which put the user's manhood into question. I spent a good ten minutes reading everything I could find on the walls, from signs featuring groan-inducing puns to ones showing scantily-clad women with beer bottles (ahem). Clearly, this place loves its novelty signs! I only wish I'd been there for a longer visit and not just a pee -- it would have felt like a more justified use of my time, reading all those signs. Still, it's very clean and cozy, and because it's all the way in the back of the place it also provides plenty of privacy. Good show. 8. A top-notch strip-mall bathroom with a well-expressed sense of humor. I think I saw a little open wall space in the back corner of the loo here -- might want to cover that up with another novelty sign, no?

JAMESTOWN – The Jamestown Public Schools district will continue participating in a lawsuit against that state that focuses on more state aid for students. On Tuesday night the board voted 5 to 2 in favor of spending $35,000 on the Small Cities Schools Lawsuit (Maisto v. New York) for the rest of this calendar year, with board vice president Patrick Slagle along with board member Shelly Leathers voting against it. The vote comes just a month after a state supreme court judge in Albany – Kimberly A. O’Connor – ruled against the eight small city districts involved in the lawsuit, claiming the state is providing a constitutionally mandated “fair and equitable education” for all students, despite arguments to the contrary by the eight plaintiffs. Jamestown is one of those eight districts. The seven other small cities districts joining Jamestown are Utica, Poughkeepsie, Mount Vernon, Kingston, Newburgh, Port Jervis and Niagara Falls. Because districts can not directly sue the state, the eight districts are individual members of a group that is paying the legal fees to help the case move forward and each district pays a membership fee to that group. The January’s State Supreme Court decision will likely be appealed and Tuesday night’s action was required if Jamestown were to continue on with the appeal process, ensuring it would benefit from any final positive outcome in the case. The issue of providing proper funding to ensure a fair and equitable education for all students has already dragged on for the better half of two decades and Jamestown property tax players have already invested over $300,000 in the legal battle associated with the case. That was part of the reason Slagle voted against continuing the effort. “I just think the district has been involved for too long now. We’ve spent too much of the taxpayers’ money chasing after an uncertainty. I think the better approach would be to contact our legislators and look for legislative action, since ultimately any success in the lawsuit and what’s going to spur more money is legislative action. So I think that $35,000 for this year and possible more money for future years could be better spent within the district,” Slagle told WRFA following the meeting. Prior to the vote Jamestown School Superintendent Bret Apthorpe gave a presentation on the history of lawsuit and the implications for continuing the case, admitting that while attorneys involved in the lawsuit are optimistic an appeal would be favorable for the district, it would only mean the case would continue to drag on because the state would then likely appeal that decision, forcing the matter to go before New York’s highest court – the Court of Appeals. Following the meeting, Apthorpe said he didn’t envy the school board for having to make the decision. “I don’t think its fair to put boards of education in this situation,” Apthorpe said. “This is about taking taxpayer moneys to advocate for constitutional rights of the poor against a government, again funded by taxpayers, opposed to that. So they’re being asked to take a stand using money from a poor school to continue a court case. It’s a true double-edged sword.” According to Apthorpe, if the state legislature were to provide proper funding totals with the constitutional mandate in mind and by following the enacted foundation aid formula created ten years ago, Jamestown would be getting an additional $8 million in aid for the 2019-20 school year. As it stands, the governor is proposing $49.8 million in general purpose aid for Jamestown next year – up just $711,000 from the current year’s school budget. Apthorpe notes that increase doesn’t even keep up with the current rate of inflation based on the state consumer price index.

Some of the scenes in the picture had me laughing hysterically whilst others had me scratching my head. I laughed at how Borat could make some really offensive remarks about all sorts of issues and the unsuspecting Americans that he met just agreed and expanded on those views. This was especially when he was at the rodeo, the gun shop and the bus with the frat-boys. Also funny is the naked wrestling/fight scene between Borat and Azimat which really has to be seen to be believed.

Tony Hale and his slate of delegates helped fight and win our victory in 2020. Now it’s time to build on success. Tony Hale doesn’t just talk about progressive values, he has established them in the Party. As Chair of the Los Angeles County Democratic Party’s Resolutions Committee and Co-Chair of the State Party’s Resolution committee, Tony Hale has developed and furthered our Party’s commitment to progressive values. Tony Hale has secured our party’s commitment to: •Opposing fracking and reducing the threat of destructive climate change •Supporting universal health care •Preserving a our local environment and removing toxins from our food, air and water •Raising the minimum wage and protecting the rights of working people •Demanding reforms in policing •Supporting teachers and public education •Defending the rights of women, people of color and the LGBTQ community •Increasing our commitment to reduce homelessness especially among our veterans •Calling for an end to the death penalty •Promoting the humane treatment of animals •And, much more A former chair of the Environmental Caucus, Tony Hale is one of the few environmentalist who has stopped 34 oil wells from being drilled. He ran and won the campaign to stop oil drilling on our coast in Hermosa Beach. Tony Hale has made the Democratic Party more democratic. He fought to reduce the influence of powerful insiders and their ability to game the endorsement process. The reason why we are voting for 14 Delegates today is because Tony negotiated for more Delegates from the grassroots.

Tony has made sure the California Democratic Party represents our values of inclusiveness and equality.

Here is the link: https://ademelections.com/?isCandidate=False Lisa Watanabe Do you ever watch the news and wish you had a better way to voice your opinions about the Democratic Party in the State of California? Well, so do I, and that is why I am running to become a Delegate to the State Democratic Convention for Assembly District 66. My goal is to make your voice be heard at the Convention. Your voice will help make the Democratic Party stronger – and we desperately need a stronger Democratic Party. In the past 13 years the Republican Party has tanked our economy twice; and has stooped to unconscionable lows while violating American norms and laws. It’s time for the Democratic party to hear our voices and fight back. I am committed to helping the Democratic Party fight for a fair and just society here in California and, by extension, the entire country. I’ve volunteered for Democratic candidates since I was a kid, starting with Senator John Glenn’s 1984 run. Lately, I’ve done volunteer work for Senator Sanders in 2016, Senator Warren in 2020 (as a Community Team Lead) and President-Elect Biden in 2020. I’ve also dedicated my time to Congressional races such as Gil Cisneros and Christy Smith right here in LA County. I have taken Senator Warren’s philosophy to heart in my campaign because I believe the California Democratic Party needs to hear it: Dream Big, Fight Hard and Win! John C Nelson Jr John C. Nelson Jr I am a young Democrat and Manhattan Beach Unified School District alumna who is committed to a pragmatic and progressive future for our statewide party. If elected, I promise to advocate for compassionate and practical solutions to our housing crisis, climate change, and racial injustice, and to prioritize supporting efforts to elect Democrats in purple and red districts. I work in public relations and am the proud daughter of two small business owners, which has given me a practical education about the difficulties that entrepreneurs face, and how the pandemic and uneven government response has exacerbated existing problems for job creators. I was inspired to get involved with the Democratic Party because of my grandmother, a 91-year-old former public school teacher who has advocated for progressive causes in Long Beach for the last 65 years. Since graduating from the University of Southern California in 2016, I have become increasingly involved with several Democratic and progressive advocacy groups. Most of these groups focus on the intersection of environmentalism, racial justice, housing policy, and transit policy. I am also involved with organizations that advocate for the Jewish community, LGBTQ rights, and immigrant rights. Vote for me if you believe our statewide party should embrace and promote proven, effective policies to address pollution and climate change, homelessness and housing insecurity, and systemic racism. Rachel Pearl Bracker The guiding principal in my life is to try to make my community, my state, my country and my planet a better place for my children. Education, the environment, and equality for all have taken a beating under the soon-to-be previous administration, but the challenges remain and are more critical than ever, for it’s not enough to pull out the weed if you haven’t dug up the roots. I worked with Biden Victory2020, Field Team 6, Indivisible South Bay, Grassroots Democrats and MoveOn this past election cycle both at home and in key battleground states in order to begin the purge and start the healing of our nation. As a delegate, I’ll continue to push California to lead the way for the rest of our nation as we’ve done for so long, and work to re-take the house seats we lost in November. I humbly ask for your support and your vote Tony Salvaggio I am proud to be a California Democrat; a former Mayor, an experienced, elected Assembly Delegate; and a member of the State Party Ad-Hoc Finance Committee. As a member of the Ad-Hoc Finance Committee, I helped bring about the increase in focus on small dollar donors. I’m one of the original members of South Bay Cares and I know and work with many Democrats from all over the state to make life better for all Californians. I’m running because I’m open to new voices and ideas, but also bring nearly two decades of relationships and experience this position, During this crisis we’ve learned that we need to do things differently to reach and include more people, and if elected, I promise to reach out and engage with folks on all that we do. I humbly ask for your vote. Feel free to email me at amyhoworth@gmail.com if you have any questions. Amy Howorth I am a moderate Democrat. My main concern is that the Democratic Party must return to its support of local independent business and unreserved support to the working class in America. The Democratic Party turned its back on the working class after the 1970″s. Scarcity has inflamed divisions. There has never been a reversal of that position. Joe Biden’s current infrastructure plans and a Green New Deal are a start. Critical industries and pharmaceuticals must be brought back. Tax support and subsidies to off-shore business must be curtailed. I admire many progressive elements of the Democratic platform including single payer medical, low prescription costs, DACA, equal protection and lowering college tuition rates. My true concern is with the small business and working class interests. Michael Hobbs I am running to represent seniors and the disabled. I want to be sure that the party supports programs that will enable the elderly and disabled to remain in their homes. The party must recognize that too many of the victims of the coronavirus were in nursing homes. We must stand for the rights of all persons to have adequate housing, not just the elderly and the disabled but also those living in the streets today. Lorraine Geittmann My name is Peter Aziz. I’m a Trilingual first-generation Egyptian American and hold a master’s in Public Policy and Administration. I have been fortunate enough to call Redondo Beach my home here in the South Bay for the last 31 years. However, it hasn’t always felt like home. Throughout the last 9 months during this unprecedented pandemic, I relived all too well what it meant to be a person of color living in the South Bay post 9/11 all over again. The uprising of protest in the streets post-murder of George Floyd reminded me of what it was and still is to be an Arab in America. I started housing organizers and protesters during the Muslim Ban who were on the front lines at LAX in 2016 just after Donald Trump had been inaugurated into office. I know what it feels like every day to be visibly discriminated against. The South Bay is not immune to these issues we have seen reports of hate crimes alongside houselessness increase and intensifies throughout our cities, and yet there haven’t been swift enough approaches to call these actions out by our elected officials. While my educational experience has aided me in navigating the democratic process over the last decade, this experience has also allowed me to dig deeper into the flaws of how our system is represented. Specifically, when I ran as a delegate for AD66 in 2019, I was able to see how Young people are bearing the burdens brought upon us by the policies of generations before us. Our communities are being devastated by COVID-19 alongside student debt for the lack of appropriate funding for public education. We are at a critical shift not just in our democracy but in our society, in which we can build a more sustainable future, with the next generation in mind. Advocating for future-proof policies is not just sustainable it is keeping our democracy intact. Electing new voices in the arena such as mine and those of @SouthBay66 representing all who support fresh ideas based on conscientious use of data and facts. I want to continue my advocacy on these issues to ensure that our Democratic party is going in the right direction. I humbly ask for your vote to represent you as one of your AD66 Assembly District Delegates. Vote Peter Aziz for Delegate & South Bay People Power for AD66. Peter E Aziz I would be honored to serve again as a delegate to the California Democratic Party and I humbly ask for your vote. I have dedicated my life to public service and I currently work as the Senior Field Representative and Campaign Manager for our South Bay Assemblymember Al Muratsuchi. In that office I work on issues that are important to me including fighting for increased funding for public education and protecting our environment among many others. I started my career working for former Assemblymember Betsy Butler nearly a decade ago and have been standing up for our Democratic values ever since. I will bring this experience and my years of attending California Democratic Party Conventions both as staff and as a delegate to bear if elected. As a delegate, I will effectively advocate for 66th Assembly District Democrats. I know many of you from years of working on the ground knocking on doors and making phone calls for good candidates up and down the ballot – from school board to President of the United States. I look forward to getting to know you if we haven’t yet had the opportunity. I am proud of my time supporting and as a member of the Torrance Democratic Club, the Beach Cities Democratic Club, the Palos Verdes Democratic Club, Indivisible, and so many other organizations in the district that are working to make our state better. I will continue to be accessible. I would be so grateful to have the opportunity to serve again and thank you for your consideration. Andrew DeBlock My name is Mark E. Henderson. I am a candidate for ADEM for the 66th Assembly District. As a former ADEM delegate, this as an opportunity to continue to serve our assembly district and to actively participate in the political process. The ADEM role is important to the political process and to the development of the CA Democratic Party. It allows for us to inform the sitting Assemblyman to issues that are important at the grassroots level and are a high priority to our local communities. Also being an ADEM does allow for participation at the state party level where change can be enacted and voices can be heard. What I commit to do: I commit to representing our Assembly District with experience and integrity. I will always be available for collaboration with our community members of AD66 and will bring those items forward for robust discussion. Why I am running for ADEM: During this unique time we are experiencing it is vital to address many issues related to climate concerns, racial issues, equality and overall equity concerns. I want to be at the forefront of ensuring that our party addresses all these important issues. What I am asking of you: I am confident we can accomplish a lot together. I am asking for your support to vote me in as ADEM of AD66. Mark E. Henderson I’m R.G. Wong, a DSA-LA member and former Bernie Sanders 2020 staffer who is making good trouble with the People Over Profits Slate. ADEMS delegates have access to politicians and the direction of the party. I intend to take what I’ve heard from people I’ve met in my grassroots work and tell their stories to our elected officials. As ADEMs delegate from 2017-2019, I advocated for single payer healthcare in California and continue that struggle. I’ll take that matter to ADEMS again and fight even harder because thousands are sick with COVID-19. Currently we have 26 million food-insecure Americans. I volunteer with Long Beach Community Table, a food bank specializing in healthy food. My experiences delivering food to the needy will be heard by legislators. Three years ago, I was an ADEMs delegate lobbying to protect immigrants. I’ve learned about the immigrant experience through The Kids2017, a South Bay group that provides necessities to asylum seekers and orphans in Tijuana. I intend to share those stories with our leaders. Recently I spoke to a Torrance woman about her concerns with the community. She said racism and xenophobia are “number one problems”. She’s right. I grew up in AD66 experiencing bigotry and now I’m rallying against it. I’ve dealt with local fascists who terrorized immigrant communities. I’ve called for justice for Christopher Deandre Mitchell who was killed by Torrance police in 2018. I joined the call to return Bruce’s Beach back to the rightful owners who are Black, because racists forced them off their Manhattan Beach property in the 1920’s. Lately, I’ve helped support victims of hate crimes in Torrance and learned they won’t get justice. I’m running to tell our Democrats that they must take the lead in dismantling systemic racism. Young people in the South Bay are organizing against racism, it’s time our leaders join them. I’ve also advocated for a safer Torrance oil refinery and I’m involved with the Progressive Asian Network for Action. ADEMS are supposed to be the truly grassroots arm of the Democratic party. But all kinds of people apply -from people who operate PACs to elected officials who’ve taken PAC money. I’m neither. I’m running to bring attention to South Bay issues the mainstream media ignores. I’m here to tell legislators to choose the people over profits. R.G. Wong ADEM66 candidate statement I am Katherine Venn running for ADEM with the slate “People Over Profit” in AD66. I see the way to ensure our democracy through mobilizing communities to ensure all people’s basic needs be met. As a founding member of San Pedro Neighbors for Peace and Justice since 2004, I work diligently to expose the militarization of our government, especially our schools. I have outreached to churches, Veterans for Peace, Military Families Speak Out, ILWU, Code Pink, teachers’ unions, and concerned citizens to build coalitions for community forums, high school clubs and to confront elected officials, regarding the military budget, rights of youth and immigrants, homelessness, police abuse and climate change. I have been instrumental in developing 3 high school Peace Clubs and Summer Peace Camps, so youth understand the sources of conflicts in the world and in their communities. I supported Bernie Sanders campaign for Medicare for all, housing as a human right, the Green New Deal and protecting youth from police and military recruiters abuse. How do we achieve these goals? By listening to our communities instead of corporations and big money. Residing in this district since 1975 and working in Torrance for 30 years has given me a broad view of this district. I have lived in Harbor Gateway, Gardena and Rancho Palos Verdes I see outstanding inequalities, in our schools, access to health care and affordable housing. Renters facing evictions and homeowners unable to meet mortgage payments as unemployment and underemployment continues to exacerbate our struggle and puts us all in crisis in CA- 5th wealthiest economy in the world. Corporations continue to accumulate wealth and political privileges in our communities even though the Democratic Party, party of the people, controls the legislature-it’s time for a change! I support Black Lives Matter and all in our district who exposed the Torrance police department’s failure to investigate the killing of Christopher Mitchell in December 2018. Their persistence demanding transparency by the police in the Torrance city council has resulted in releasing police video, naming officers involved and recognition by District Attorney Gascon to investigate this killing. Civilian over-site of this police department was demanded by a grand jury before this incident and has not been implemented. Katherine Venn I am running to protect and promote the future of my children and all those living in the state of California. Please see my video statement: https://youtu.be/RyxqM7DFr-c No child should have to go to school under threats of gun violence, learn in an overcrowded classroom, or have her future threatened by climate change. Yet our children leave their homes every morning facing such an experience. Our children need their political leaders to collaborate and innovate to solve these pressing problems. California is the most vibrant, diverse, and innovate state in the nation. There is no problem we cannot overcome. We must provide a living wage for our workers, support small businesses, solve the mental health crisis, dismantle systemic racism, and prevent violence against women and children. I fully endorse the California Democratic party platform, and as a proud first generation Arab American, seek to promote diversity at all levels. I am an attorney, entrepreneur, certified mediator, journalist, and legal analyst. I am a graduate of the University of Southern California, a former attorney at Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher, and a co-founder of the law firm Doll Amir & Eley, located here in the South Bay. I am a certified mediator, having mediated almost 100 cases, and know well how to work together for a common result. I know how to communicate effectively being both a published writer and a television legal analyst for the Law & Crime Network. I am also a She Source legal expert with the Women’s Media Center. My full bio is at www.dollamir.com. I was sparked to become involved with politics upon the death of Ruth Bader Ginsberg. I knew I had to do my part to take up the cause of equality that she worked for her whole life. I organized and led a group of volunteers to protect the right to vote in North Carolina for the Biden-Harris campaign. I look forward to showing this District my perseverance and hard work. So much is at stake, and I am ready. Dina Sayegh Doll I am Jon Munoz, running as for Delegate for California’s 66th District. During the past 18 months I have been involved in a number of political volunteer efforts. I have phone banked for the Pete Buttigieg for President campaign. I also did a number of canvassing days for that campaign in Manhattan Beach, Santa Monica and Torrance among other places. I’ve also been involved in phone banking and letter writing for the Biden/Harris campaign and current Georgia Senate runoffs. Currently I am currently working on fundraising efforts with Equality Georgia. I am a member of the Palos Verdes Democrats Club and Invisible South Bay LA. My work experience, in both the Entertainment and Aviation world, has taking me all over the world. This experience has given me a unique window into differing attitudes toward the US as well as different work and social policies. I am excited to see the changes in our nation over the next four years over the past four years. I look forward to being a Delegate and in particular working on pro-equality and racial justice issues. Jon Munoz Elect Ashley Tull to bring a fresh, young, diverse voice to the Democratic party. Ashley is a fighter. A fighter not only for herself, but for anyone who needs fighting for. She works diligently to create a better future for those around her by speaking up against injustices and taking action to ensure they will not go unnoticed or be forgotten. Ashley has worked hard every step of her life, from being homeless as a teen, to fighting cancer at 30, to graduating from UCLA at 36. She understands that everyone has a story and each of those stories is valuable. What will she bring to the table? Along with passion, energy, creativity, and humor, she brings the ability to empower others. As a lifelong democrat, from a union family, she will fight for the working class. As a member of the LGBTQ community, she will fight for all underrepresented minority groups. As a recent student, she will fight to make education more accessible for everyone. As a person who was once looking up from the bottom, she will fight to listen and act to address the urgent needs of our homeless neighbors. Vote for Ashley—she is the fresh face we have been looking for. Ashley Tull My name is Elsa Gerard and I would like the opportunity to represent my community as a delegate representing the 66th Assembly District. I began working for the Democratic Party when I was thirteen years old handing out flyers for candidates during shift changes at the tobacco factories in Richmond, Virginia. In the almost fifty years since then, I have worked, marched, and sat through more committee hearings than I can remember. I have lived in the 66th AD for 27 years-moving into the district, becoming a mother, and raising my three children to be activists who are giving back to the communities they live in. I served a volunteer at the last two conventions and decided it was time to increase my involvement and run as a delegate. I am a college advisor and have seen so many students unable to achieve their dream or even be able to dream at all of attending higher educational institutions after high school. My focus is to make quality higher education available to all California students. I am running to represent these students and to help create a pathway to opportunity for all young people in California. I would be honored to represent my district as a delegate . Elsa Gerard I, Vinnie Malcolm, am a media, marketing and business development executive living in Hermosa Beach. I am originally from Jamaica in the West Indies and I immigrated to New York City after high school. I am a father of three young adult sons and I have held several leadership positions in the Los Angeles community, including president and general manager of KTLA Channel 5 and president of the Los Angeles Sparks basketball team. I have served as a director on several non-profit boards, including the Los Angeles Urban League and the California Broadcasting Association. I also advocate for social equity and justice in healthcare, education, housing, economics and the justice system. Unfortunately, our residents have been systematically misled and misrepresented by many public officials, who have been unduly influenced by special interests. As a result, a minority of people have been ruling and dictating policies against the wishes of the majority. During this time of glaring inequalities in our society, it is evident that this is not sustainable! At some point, the system will combust if adjustments are not made. This is why I am running along with my fellow slate members of South Bay People Power, to ensure that the under-appreciated, never respected and ignored, have a seat at the table when decisions are made. That is how we will have a more equitable society. When our communities aren’t represented, our voices aren’t heard. When our voices aren’t heard, our needs aren’t met. Moneyed interests and established power retain control of our governance and drive policies which lift up a few, marginalizing the rest of us. We hope that you will support and vote for us, South Bay People Power, to lift up people over profits. You can connect with us on Youtube (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbNbfv64bjSeLCku8DfkCJ) and social media (@southbay66). I was raised in the public school system, so I personally experienced the inequities that continue to plague neighborhoods today. I believe in education equity. Growing up, I was forced to transfer to a school further away because I did not live in the more affluent neighborhoods. I struggled to find mentorship and guidance–my teachers and counselors too overwhelmed to help me. Through community service, I found my way into medicine. Throughout my career as a physician, I witnessed firsthand the disparities in healthcare. People with diabetes had to be hospitalized for uncontrolled blood sugars because they simply could not afford insulin. Our fight against COVID-19 has only amplified this inequity we face. Sadly, during this time, 14.6 million Americans have lost healthcare coverage. We now live in a system where GoFundMe is one of the largest “insurers” in this country as families ask for donations to help pay for a loved one’s medical care. Healthcare should not be a privilege. Healthcare is a right for everyone. Disparities in healthcare and education are not the only issues we face. Our neighborhood air and water have borne the brunt of toxic industries and pollution. Climate change endangers us with wildfires. Every year, patients come into my office wheezing and short of breath because of poor air quality. Droughts and floods reduce accessibility to nutritious fruits and vegetables leaving people more prone to heart disease, obesity, and diabetes. The health effects leave us vulnerable to chronic medical conditions and pandemics. These are just some examples of how the establishment has placed a priority on profits for corporations and wealthy special interests, resulting in damaging our community. We must put the interests of our community ahead of the wealthy few, shareholder dividends, and quarterly profits. I hope you will vote for and support South Bay People Power to lift up people over profits.

Huynh I proudly represented the people of California’s 33rd Congressional District, which includes my home district of Assembly District 66, as one of CD-33’s three elected Pledged Delegates for Bernie Sanders for President at the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia in July 2016. I have also previously represented our communities within Assembly District 66 as an elected ADEM Delegate to the California Democratic Party during the 2017 – 2019 term. In addition to these offices, I have also served our communities as a member of the Executive Board of the Feel the Bern Democratic Club of Los Angeles, the first Democratic club in Los Angeles County founded upon the principles and platform of Bernie Sanders, as its Executive Secretary from 2017 – 2020 and as its Vice President from 2019 – 2020. I am also a member of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) and I am running to once again serve the people of our district as an ADEM delegate for AD-66 on the grassroots People Over Profits slate. My fellow working class slate members and I are running to prioritize the needs of people first over corporate profits. I want to represent and support the people of Assembly District 66 and our state at the California Democratic Party by supporting the establishment of a Universal Single Payer Medicare for All healthcare system and the elimination of medical debt in our state and country, transition to a clean renewable energy-powered society with the Green New Deal, end racist policing and prioritize funding to specialized community services, tuition-free public colleges and universities and the abolition of student debt, sustainable and organic non-GMO farming, support unions and increase the presence of unions and union membership in our workplaces, break up ICE, reinstate DACA and protect immigrant communities, support a humane justice system and eliminate for-profit prisons, support the establishment of universal child care and Pre-K, protect and expand social security, support systems to end homelessness and establish affordable rent and fair housing for all while combatting gentrification, support the LGBTQ+ community, and much more. I strongly support a 21st Century Economic Bill of Rights that guarantees to all of our people the right to the basic necessities of life regardless of income, race, religion, gender, sexual orientation or country of origin. Brian Carolus My name is Bill Reynolds. I am running for AD66 delegate to the California Democratic Party (CDP) Conventions. I am a retired Contract Auditor from the US Dept. of Defense. I am a former proxy CDP delegate, and I am currently a Social Services Commissioner for the City of Torrance. I worked hard just to have health insurance, housing and reliable transportation. I was also able to help my partner, from Mexico, obtain permanent resident status after 15 years of living in the shadows. Thank you for helping lift people like us up, over private profits. When our communities aren’t represented, our voices aren’t heard. When our voices aren’t heard, our needs aren’t met. Moneyed interests and established powers retain control of our governance and drive policies which empower a few, marginalizing the majority of us. Accordingly, here are my priorities for the CDP: 1.Voters want to know who is ahead of THEM, in meeting with THEIR representatives. Records of lobbying activity and campaign financing, should be more readily available than they are now. More public financing of election campaigns is needed. Get the moneyed interests out of running our elections, our Government and our lives. 2.Make our party more about helping voters reduce household costs. How will we work to bring housing costs down to no more than 30% of household income for more people? How will we work to reduce the cost of healthcare, and provide healthcare for all? 3.Our party should be about helping MORE CALIFORNIANS fight climate change, while helping THEM not increase their costs of transportation. We should work to bring the costs of electric vehicles down, with subsidies, and by advocating and welcoming less expensive designs, and more micro-mobility onto our streets. Helping more people participate in a green economy is an important part of environmental justice.

Find us on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook at @southbay66. Bill Reynolds I am running to be an ADEM delegate to proudly represent our party and its platform and to help elect local, state and national leaders who will move our state and country forward. I have been a committed volunteer on Democratic campaigns and causes for over 30 years, starting with my first internship in high school for my congressman. Now, as a parent, I am dedicated to advocating for and ensuring that we elect leaders who prioritize funding of a quality public school education for all of our children. I also want to ensure that our party continues to elect leaders who will push forward with clean energy initiatives and make California an environmental leader and model for the rest of the nation and the world. In addition, as a delegate, I will be committed to fighting for all people to live with dignity and equality by supporting and campaigning for candidates who will take steps to root out systemic racism, discrimination and inequality, ensuring equal opportunity for all. Finally, I am running to be a delegate to ensure that our government leaders are held accountable and do everything possible to protect and expand health care coverage under Obamacare in the next administration. Please consider voting for me to be your ADEM delegate – it would be an honor and a privilege to represent you and to have your support and your vote. Kathleen Paralusz A community organizer within the Muslim and interfaith communities,I have understood our community’s needs;I only recently became aware of the local political landscape.A first time delegate,I am dismayed that our district is not equitably represented in the CA Dem. party. Our district is rich in perspectives and communal histories.We are home to Japanese Americans who established basketball clubs in response to post-internment hostilities.We live on land stewarded by the Tongva people.We are home to Muslim Americans,who with allies,advocated against prejudice to establish a mosque.While occasionally cosmetically included,this collective experience and wisdom are excluded from meaningful representation in our district. Certainly,many local party activists have contributed much;however,no one group should monopolize representation.Only when all of our communities are equitably represented,will our district bravely vote within the party to further our communal interests instead of simply talking about them. The current status quo empowers a small group of people who prioritize the maintenance of their power and position above meeting our needs.While most of us would like work together towards a just transition to improve our air quality and protect our coastline,the status quo representation continues to acquiesce to moneyed interests.Instead of the local economy meeting our needs,we are forced to compromise our well-being for the economy.We must center people,not profits. To ensure clean air and beaches,equitable education and healthcare while having everyone’s human rights equitably honored,we must elect bold representatives who won’t be distracted by moneyed interests.When our communities aren’t represented,our voices aren’t heard.When our voices aren’t heard,our needs aren’t met.Moneyed interests and established power retain control of our governance and drive policies which lift up a few while marginalizing the rest of us. In my two years as a delegate,I learned that it will take all of us,with our diverse perspectives,rising up together to disrupt the status quo in our district.South Bay People Power for AD66 represents a diverse coalition of communities and individuals committed to justice and equity.I hope you will vote for and connect with us on Youtube (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbNbfv64bjSeLCku8DfkCJ) and social media (@southbay66) Dr. Sara H. Deen With your support, and I look forward to serving as a delegate to the California Democratic Party for AD66. I’ve lived in N. Torrance for 24 years where my husband and I have raised our 5 children. I work with small businesses and non-profits who can’t afford a CFO. Prior to this, I owned a boutique where I provided women with breast prosthetics and wigs after surgery and chemo. I live in the center of intersectionality in an interfaith and mixed-race family. As the mom of two Black sons, I know what it is like to see them harassed by police. I have experienced the failings of our school district when dealing with students with mental health issues and know how easy it is to fall into the school to prison pipeline. These experiences led me to Moms of Black Boys United for Social Change where I serve as Lead Legislative Advocate. My Jewish faith teaches me to care for the stranger and is what led me to a fellowship with NewGround Muslim Jewish partnership for change. Through this program and others, I have learned to facilitate courageous conversations across deep divides and the power of storytelling to help us see one another as humans and not labels. I am very concerned about the silos we all sit in culturally, economically, religiously and politically. If the Democratic Party is to be the Big Tent party, we need a multiplicity of voices to move past the ideological labels and buzzwords that have created silos within the party. I believe that healthcare is a right, not a privilege and should include comprehensive mental health care. We must address systemic racism and reform our criminal justice system to reduce incarceration, implement comprehensive rehabilitation, and address the intergenerational trauma that it causes. I also believe we must address climate change in a way that takes into account environmental justice and gets MHF out of our local refinery. When our communities aren’t represented, our voices aren’t heard. When our voices aren’t heard, our needs aren’t met. Moneyed interests and established power retain control of our governance and drive policies which lift up a few, marginalizing the rest of us. We hope that you support us, South Bay People Power, to lift up people over profits. You can connect with us on Instagram @southbay66 or Facebook.com/southbay66. Visit https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbNbfv64bjSeLCku8DfkCJg to learn more Susan Brooks My name is Adam Schwartz, and I am running with the People Over Profits slate in the South Bay. As a proud member of DSA, I believe that in a society as prosperous as ours, no human being should be without basic needs. I support popular progressive causes such as Medicare for all, a Green New Deal, and abolishing ICE. In one of the most blue states in the nation, I am perplexed and disappointed as to how Democratic establishment leadership wouldn’t step up to offer the bold change so many of its own constituents want. Bold decisive action on the issues that face Californians is not only popular, but also makes financial sense. Investing in a healthy population leads to a robust and more equitable economy. The cost of healthcare in this country is an embarrassment, and California deserves better. As a young person entering politics, I understand the urgency required to do better as a progressive Democratic Party. I plan on making California my lifetime home, but alongside my entire generation, I am filled with dread at the idea of a future where our beautiful oceans flood, idyllic forests burn, and life sustaining water supplies run dry. These events are due to happen in my lifetime, so I have a laser focused interest in curbing fossil fuel use while investing in green, alternative fuel sources. I believe that investing in renewable and sustainable energy is not only a moral imperative, but also a smart economic choice. California has the ability to lead the world in efforts to stop the incoming climate catastrophe, we only need the political will. I have the will, and as a delegate I would carry that will to fruition. Simply put, I believe that the California Democratic Party can do better. In a proudly solid blue state, too many Democrat leaders have grown comfortable and complacent. The hideous specter of the GOP makes California Democrat seats all too comfortable to hold, and ultimately encourages spineless corporate interests to hoard power and influence in the party. The slate that I’m running with represents fearlessly hopeful leaders who resent big corporate and oil money in politics. We believe in an equitable government that leaves no one behind. As our slate name suggests, our priorities lie with the well being of regular people over the amassing of capital by fewer and fewer corporate interests.

Thank you! 1-minute VIDEO: https://www.facebook.com/JimmyGow4Torrance/videos/3631741260253259 Jimmy Gow My name is Kenia Tello; I’m running as a South Bay People Power candidate to serve as a delegate and as executive board member, representing the 66th district. I’m a proud immigrant from Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco, Mexico and for 20+ years now, AD66 has been my home. Most of my childhood memories occurred here; Easter egg hunting with my cousins at the “Duck Park” in Harbor City, Chuck E. Cheese pizza in Torrance, and scrubbing toilets alongside my mother in Manhattan Beach. During breaks from school, I’d go with my mom to clean houses of wealthy people in the beach cities. While cleaning, I’d be fascinated by the framed diplomas on walls; I dreamed of one day having my own. However, my hopes of earning a college degree were shattered when my financial aid was revoked two weeks before my first term at UC Santa Barbara. I went from a “$0 Expected Family Contribution” to a $17K tuition bill due to not having U.S. Permanent Residency. Despite my unique set of challenges due to my status and the resulting life experience, I was determined to create social change. As a leader within organizations, like the U.S. Student Association, I have successfully advocated for all students, especially undocumented students. In 2011, I went to Washington D.C. to lobby for the national Dream Act; a bill that would’ve given undocumented youth a pathway to legal status through higher education or armed services. During the lobby visit, I delivered testimony to the Office of Senator Barbara Boxer. I unleashed my voice and gave insights into the limited educational services and steep financial barriers undocumented students faced while striving for a degree. Two social issues of personal importance are educational opportunity gaps in marginalized communities of color and immigration. Current institutional structures aren’t meeting the needs of these underserved communities, as exposed during Covid-19 and POTUS 45. Such disparities and poverty will perpetuate our country’s lack of representation, which impedes the economic progress of our communities. The need to effect change in our institutional structures and culture is dire. I’m confident that as your AD66 Executive Board member, I’ll accelerate meaningful solutions for our communities, raise awareness, and break generational poverty! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbNbfv64bjSeLCku8DfkCJg social media: @southbay66 Kenia Itzel Tello I feel most alive when I’m working with others for justice, peace and creation care. When I moved to the South Bay my piano ended up at a local church and I met people practicing their faith by being in solidarity with the most vulnerable, asking why and demanding justice. Since then I’ve joined with people of faith and others to find common ground and create change. Whether it’s getting arrested with hotel workers on Century Blvd. or calling out our local refineries to stop using the deadly MHF my advocacy now comes from love and not just anger. I served as Deputy Director of an interfaith economic justice nonprofit and on the Board of the South Coast Interfaith Council, and I chair its Justice and Peace Committee. As VP of the Lutheran Office of Public Policy in Sacramento I’ve lobbied for clean water, money out of politics and CalFresh enrollment for those returning from prison. I lead the Justice team of my church, co-chair our regional Green Faith team and train coaches on creation care. I love addressing the root cause of problems and believe that where we choose to invest and spend our money is as powerful as our vote. I helped launch Ten Thousand Villages, a fair trade store in Redondo Beach, and Fair Trade Los Angeles, which pushed LA to become the largest Fair Trade city in the country. It brings me pleasure to boycott Amazon and divest from fossil fuels and I invite you to feel that pleasure! But why doesn’t our AD66 leadership reflect our diversity? Why did so little legislation pass in CA this year when Democrats held a supermajority? When our communities aren’t represented, our voices aren’t heard. When our voices aren’t heard, our needs aren’t met. Moneyed interests and established powers retain control of our governance and drive policies which empower a few, marginalizing most. We need change! Since my Civil Rights pilgrimage to Georgia and Alabama in February I’ve been learning how to be an anti-racist, to step up when asked by people of color and to step back when it’s not my turn. Our South Bay People Power slate is awesome, filled with new diverse voices that should be heard. Please vote for them! Thanks for helping us lift up People Over Profits by voting for us. https://youtu.be/HtvMHyr1OdQ Find us on social media @southbay66 to help us win! Jane Affonso I’m Timothy Beyer, a long-time Lomita resident and software engineer with degrees in computer science and economics. I am running on the “People Over Profits” slate, summarizing my vision to address the material needs of workers and the poor, now facing conditions even more dire with COVID-19. The Democratic party pays too much attention to corporate and wealthy donors rather than to their constituents. I wish to see that Medicare for All, housing for all, and a universal jobs guarantee are implemented, even if initially at the state or local level. I was inspired by the Sanders campaign in 2015, and after the terrible outcome of the 2016 election, volunteered for local groups and political campaigns (canvasses, phone / text banks, honk and waves and tabling). In 2020, I was honored to represent the constituents of Congressional District 43 as an elected DNC delegate for Bernie Sanders. On the environment, I helped Torrance Refinery Action Alliance try to ban Modified Hydrofluoric Acid (MHF), learning about health issues caused by oil drilling. The Torrance and Wilmington refineries still use MHF alkylation, endangering South Bay residents and workers. At an AQMD hearing, I saw refinery managers publicly threaten the jobs of refinery workers. I attended Torrance city council meetings, acting as an ally to Black Lives Matter: Los Angeles, fighting for justice for Christopher DeAndre Mitchell, who was murdered by two officers. His family has been treated very poorly by elected officials and repeatedly harassed by white supremacists. I am deeply concerned with socioeconomic inequities, and am a proud member of DSA-LB. I support healthcare as a human right, canvassing with California Nurses for state-level single payer healthcare. I volunteered at Long Beach Community Table, which helps low income residents with food deserts that are pervasive in so many communities. I believe that housing is a human right, and addressing homelessness requires an extensive expansion of public housing, universal rent control and a repeal of laws undermining housing reforms. Housing is complex, and must not be reduced solely to a market. I believe that we must fight stridently for what we need against the powers that be as a community in a broad left coalition. If I am given the honor of representing AD66, I will prioritize people over corporate profits. Timothy Beyer My name is Nicolas Gardner-Serna and I am running with the People over Profits slate to represent the South Bay. I was raised here in Palos Verdes and this is my home. My love for the South Bay and my desire to see us all thrive is why I am running. I have a background in both policy and organizing. I have worked to push a pro-union agenda in Congress and have organized in the streets for immigration justice and investment in communities like ours. I am also a proud member of DSA-Long Beach and Sunrise LA. If elected, the People over Profits slate will always fight for the material and emotional wellbeing of this community. Like many other young people right now, I am also reconciling the reality that we are the first generation that will do worse than our parents. How do I live a happy, productive life when my student debt means that I will likely never achieve financial stability? I am trying to plan ahead while realizing that my home might be underwater and the air that I breathe is going to be poisoned by wildfires and uncontrolled pollution. I am angry that we have been failed so systemically by the people who promised to protect us. Here is the thing: if you are reading this, our representatives have failed you too. This pandemic and the lack of support we have gotten, especially here in the South Bay, is just one example. Families are entering into massive debt to send their kids to school. We are the 5th largest economy in the world, yet a lot of us are one medical emergency away from financial distress. The South Bay will be one of the first communities impacted by rising sea levels yet our representatives have not fought for significant investment in combating climate change. Black and brown families in AD-66 are subject to constant harassment from law enforcement and face systemic obstacles that have not been addressed. Housing is too expensive and we have gotten too little relief. It doesn’t have to be this way. These were all choices that were made by our leaders. We deserve better. I will fight for the party to endorse Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, a reimagining of public safety and community wellbeing, Free college, a State Homes Guarantee and a just recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. And we are just getting started. We are going to do great things together. Video: tinyurl.com/PeopleOverProfit66 Nicolas Gardner Serna My name is Marium Navid and I am running to serve as a delegate with the South Bay People Power slate. I believe the issues we, the people, care about, deserve to be at the forefront of the Democratic Party agenda. I want to make sure that regardless of race, citizenship status, economic status, geography, religion, or gender, each and every one of us is represented in these spaces where decisions that impact our lives are made every single day. We have enough out of touch politicians taking up space in the rooms where everyday people belong. When it comes to making decisions about our communities, we need people from OUR neighborhoods, community centers, and schools in the room, people who are directly impacted and experiencing the immediate results of policies and people the party decides to back. As someone who grew up in the South Bay, who has first hand seen the realities of economic injustice and xenophobia in our district, I am committed to making sure the people’s voice is heard and more importantly, prioritized. Please vote for me and South Bay People Power for AD66. We will bring a bold transformative agenda to the CA Democratic Party that pushes money out of politics, centers the most marginalized, and advocates for environmental, economic, and racial justice. Follow us on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook @southbay66 and check out our You Tube channel to learn more! Marium Navid I’m a progressive feminist who believes as Democrats we should be solving the issues that affect ordinary people. I’m ready to bring a fresh, new perspective to the California Democratic Party that will help us continue winning elections for years to come! I don’t take no for an answer and I won’t play around with excuses or cute slogans that don’t do anything. Let’s do what we Democrats do best and help every Californian have a fair and equal chance in living their dreams! Alexander Clark Dear 66th Assembly District Dems: I am running to be a 66th AD Delegate to the California Democratic Party in order to contribute to the overall effectiveness of the state party, specifically improving communication with all Dems in our Assembly District. My priorities include prioritizing climate change, encouraging an effective water policy in CA, establishing equality and equity in healthcare, and ensuring support for our public schools, school districts community colleges and our state universities. As a career educator, I hope to focus attention on the current issues related to distance learning and also the strategies to safely open all schools. Finally, I am very firmly supportive of maintaining Al Muratsuchi in the Assembly, representing the 66th AD. As a previously-elected delegate, I am active in several caucuses, including the Women’s Caucus, Environmental Caucus, the Senior Caucus, and Children’s Caucus. I am also running for the Executive Board (E-Board) of the Party to represent the 66th AD. As a continuing delegate, I have always been concerned that neither delegates nor grassroots Dems receive reports from the quarterly E-Board meetings from CADEM or from our E-Board rep. I believe this information can inform us and strengthen and expand our grassroots efforts, which will be very important in 2022 and 2024. I hope to use technology effectively to enhance our communication within the 66th AD and the California Democratic Party. I will work hard on your behalf and would be very grateful for your vote and support. Let’s keep the Blue Tsunami moving forward. Diane Wallace My name is Argentina Rodriguez. I am running with a progressive slate People Over Profits AD 66. I am a 20 year public school teacher for LAUSD and a UTLA (United Teacher Los Angeles) dues paying member. I am running because I think it is obscene and criminal that in the richest country in the world, its citizens do not have access to universal healthcare in the middle of a pandemic. It is obscene and immoral that families do not have universal childcare, where women do not have Paid Family leave. That we [the Democratic Party, because we hold majorities in the State House and Senate] will sacrifice Educators’ lives to reopen schools in the middle of a pandemic. In order to provide the most marginalized of workers a place to send their children, while these workers toil at two minimum wage jobs that do not meet their basic housing, food and medical needs. It is obscene, immoral, and criminal that we, the Democratic Party, allow entire families to sleep on the sidewalks of our cities. I cannot accept that we have the highest incidence of child hunger of any “first world nation”. All these issues that persist in the background of systematic racial injustices, if not now, when? When will we begin to heal these injustices? The apathy of the Democratic Party, in the face of these social issues and its protection of the Filthy Rich while our planet careens towards destruction is unconscionable and appalling. Where is our compassion? How can we call ourselves a Christian nation? I am tired of the Democratic Party taking my vote for granted. The Democratic Party must move to the left or see another loss in 2024 to another Trumpian candidate. Please vote for me as a Delegate and consider voting for the entire People Over Profits AD 66 Slate. Thank you. Argentina Rodriguez Representation is a vital part of the democratic process. Our country is very diverse; and because of this, we need people from every walk of life to share their input on shaping the laws and institutions under which we choose to govern ourselves. I am writing this statement for your consideration as I enter into the upcoming selection process for the California Delegation. I believe that representation begins with willing participation and given the opportunity I would look forward to serving in the best interest of the citizens of my party as well as society as a whole. By helping to seek real practical solutions for the plethora of important issues the democratic party is tackling, I intend to be a voice for those that want to see tangible positive changes in our everyday lives. In conclusion, I would appreciate your support in my endeavor to get more involved in our current political system and take my advocacy for the democratic party to another level. I stand committed to working toward making this country a more fair and equitable place to work, rest and play.

On May 27, 2019, more than twenty doctors, nurses and technicians crowded into the operating room to perform an extremely rare and complex surgery, even for a large regional hospital like Rambam Health Care Campus, where the staff are accustomed to complicated procedures. The surgery was performed on a baby with a defect that caused her airway to be blocked. As long as the baby was in her mother’s womb, there was no problem since oxygen was delivered via the placenta. However, doctors feared that at the moment of birth, immediately after the placenta was removed, the baby would choke due to the blocked airway. “My pregnancy was normal,” says Sima Sanbeto, 31, a resident of Afula, Israel. “Two months before I was due to give birth, I had an MRI. The doctors told me that there was a problem with the baby’s breathing, but they did not tell me at this stage that it might endanger her life, apparently so as not to worry me. I understood from what they said that the situation was serious.” According to Sanbeto, she was told that the birth would be difficult and that a complex operation would be required. “I heard the doctors and I cried. My partner, Meni, and my friends strengthened me and told me that everything would be all right. We had a difficult time before the birth and the operation,” recalls Meni, “as there was a very real concern that it would not end well.” On May 16, Sima was brought into the operating room. “I don’t remember anything from the birth. The surgery was performed under general anesthesia. Before they put me under, I was afraid that it wouldn’t work out. I was more concerned for my baby than for myself.” Rambam’s medical team performed a complex surgery, during which—like in a “normal” cesarean section—they removed only the baby’s head from her mother’s abdomen. While still receiving oxygen from the placenta, the doctors began to surgically open her airway. However, it soon became clear that the obstructed airway would require a longer time to repair than the time available to them, before the placenta would stop functioning as the baby’s primary oxygen supplier. The doctors performed an emergency tracheotomy (an airway directly into the trachea), confirmed the baby’s ability to breathe, and then completely removed her from her mother’s womb. In order to carry out the complex task, simultaneous coordination of several multidisciplinary teams of doctors and nurses was needed – one anesthesia team for the mother and one for the infant, a team of oral and maxillofacial surgeons, a team of ear-nose and throat surgeons, midwives and obstetricians, and a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) team. Meni, the baby’s father, will never forget the time he spent sitting outside the operating room. “I was worried,” he said, “but the doctors came out to talk to me during the surgery and calmed me down.” Sima adds, “When I woke up after the surgery, I heard that everything went well and that my baby was okay. The doctors told me that they fought for her and didn’t give up, and they saved her. The baby is now recovering in Rambam’s NICU. The mother was discharged a few days after the birth, but both parents are staying at their daughter’s side for a few more weeks at Rambam until the necessary surgeries to repair her airway are completed. The couple is so thankful for Rambam’s medical team. “It is fortunate that medicine can provide an answer to difficult cases such as ours and save lives,” said the happy mother, adding, “Thank you very much to all the doctors and nurses, for everything you did.” In the photo: A rare surgery – the baby’s head is outside, while her body is still in the womb.

__label__cc	0.718937	0.281063	Home Skoda WORLD DEBUT FOR FIVE-DOOR ŠKODA CITIGO WORLD DEBUT FOR FIVE-DOOR ŠKODA CITIGO Exhibition debut at 2012 Geneva Motor Show Model line extended into new market segments ŠKODA model offensive is defining element in manufacturer’s Growth Strategy Mladá Boleslav, January 30th, 2012 – ŠKODA will present the new Citigo subcompact to the public as a five-door version for the first time at the Geneva Auto Salon in early 2012. Media representatives will be offered a preview of the new ŠKODA including test drives in February 2012. The five-door version will be successively launched in European markets together with the three-door version from mid-May 2012. The Citigo represents ŠKODA’s entry into the fast growing subcompact segment. The new model was successfully introduced in ŠKODA’s home market, the Czech Republic, in late 2011. From this year, the Citigo is to conquer new customer groups for ŠKODA, thus contributing to the brand’s growth strategy. ŠKODA aims to increase its worldwide deliveries to a minimum of 1.5 million units a year by 2018. In 2011, the company achieved yet another sales record in its 117-year corporate history, selling 879,200 units. The Citigo ranks among the most compact and, at the same time, among the roomiest of its segment. In keeping with the brand’s ‘Simply Clever’ claim, the car impresses with a number of ingenious features such as a photo and document holder, a bag hook on the glove compartment and a range of net holders. The Citigo’s designers placed great emphasis on safety, winning the car the top score of five stars in the Euro NCAP crash test. And another premiere: the new city car is also the first ŠKODA model ever to sport the brand’s new logo. Powering the Citigo is a three-cylinder petrol engine with one litre of displacement in two versions with 44 kW/60 hp or 55 kW/75 hp. In its most efficient Green tec variant, the new Citigo achieves a mileage of 4.1 l/100 km, CO2 emissions in the new ŠKODA model amount to just 96 g CO2/km. The smallest member of the ŠKODA family has recently become Best City Car in the largest Czech poll, the Car of the Year 2012.

Now, these psychics are dying in the most awful of ways. A group of six psychics come together to stop the force that is killing them. They will discover a terrible secret that binds them together.–a connection to the mysterious Trellux Institute. Their powers might be the key to salvation, but every time they use one of their abilities, they draw that much closer to a gruesome death.” CULLEN BUNN ON SOME OF HIS INSPIRATIONS BEHIND CREATING THIS BOOK: “THE SHINING. FIRESTARTER. THE DEAD ZONE. To say that the work of Stephen King was an influence on me as a writer, but on this story in particular would be an understatement. Not to mention, my father was a professional hypnotist and he had a deep fascination with the powers of the mind that he imparted to me. But… let’s be honest… at the age of 11 or 12 I somehow saw Cronenberg’s masterpiece SCANNERS. I’m not sure how I managed to see it. But that head-exploding story of psychic powers stuck with me ever since. So–yes–it’s a big influence. I have been inspired by the potentially deadly nature of mental powers… deadly to the people that possess them… as a horror theme for some time. Another big inspiration for this series was my collaboration with artist Mark Torres. A couple of years back, we did a book called COLD SPOTS that we’re very proud of. That book features deadly psychic powers of a sort, too. But the moodiness and ambience of Mark’s art helped shape PHANTOM ON THE SCAN into the dark sci-fi horror story that it is! I crafted the series in a way that I thought would really give Mark lots of room to scare the Hell out of us!” CULLEN BUNN ON HIS APPROACH TO THE UNIQUE PSYCHIC POWERS THE CHARACTERS HAVE IN TERMS OF HOW THEIR POWERS WORK: “You’ll see a lot of different psychic powers in the book. You might be familiar with some. Others might be a little new to you. The ways different characters use their gifts will show some new angles to those ideas you’re familiar with. Our lead character, Matt, is perhaps the most unique. Matt is an omnipath. He possesses many, many psychic powers. All of his powers manifest through “a little dead boy”–a ghost-like figure that accompanies him, invisibly, everywhere he goes. This ghost, Dorian, is decaying. Every time Matt uses a power, Dorina rots more and more, a symbol of how the powers are killing the user.” CULLEN BUNN ON 3 REASONS WHY COMIC READERS SHOULD PICK THIS BOOK UP: “This is a new horror story from Mark Torres and myself, and Mark is going all out to bring creepiness to the page… and beyond the page. He’s even composing soundtracks for the comic, as he did with COLD SPOTS! We’re going to be showing off a brand new world of psychic powers. A new world to explore. It’s dark and twisted. You don’t want to miss it. And the ending of this tale is one of the most haunting and horrific things I’ve written. I think you’ll dig it.” In this article:Aftershock ‘King In Black: Gwenom vs. Carnage’ #1 review DC ‘Future State’ is a well-timed reflection of civil unrest and protests in America	cc/2021-04/en_middle_0015.json.gz/line479
__label__cc	0.613218	0.386782	Media as pimps The Times of India has carried a report in its Ahmedabad edition on 27th October 2012, on the number and quality of followers that Narendra Modi has on Twitter. The story is titled “Bitter Twitter truth for Narendra Modi” . The hostility of TOI towards Modi is not new. The SIT, constituted by the Supreme Court to look into Gujarat 2002 riots, has indicted Manoj Mitta working for TOI Ahmedabad, for being in active connivance with the cottage industry out to besmirch Modi through crooked ways. Manoj Mitta, while working for TOI as a journalist, was also helping Sanjiv Bhatt draft his many false affidavits that he submitted in the Supreme Court. Just recently, when Modi government announced a ban on tobacco products in Gujarat, TOI ran multiple page articles with detailed pictorial instructions as to how to circumvent the ban. Between the health hazards of tobacco products and supporting Modi for just one cause, they chose tobacco ! Yet, the story that TOI has published on Modi’s Twitter followers is particularly vicious. The story is ostensibly about the quality of twitter followers that Modi has and yet the story is not just that. Innuendos are thrown in the story that fake followers are bought by celebrities through some marketing agencies and that Modi might have done the same. No other celebrity and their followers are analysed in the story to even give a semblance of perspective and balance to the story. It is all about Modi and the innuendos to stick on to him and him alone. A nondescript website ( Status People ) is used as the only source to base the story on. Whether the website has any credibility, is it peer reviewed as a genuine website or some crack job – nothing is mentioned. As long as anything that comes handy to discredit Modi. Below is an analysis of twelve accounts using the same website (thus fairness) for some celebrity and non celebrity handles: Every account that is a celebrity has the same ratio of fakes and inactive accounts. Everyone. Be they politicians ( like Shashi Tharoor) or journalists (like Vir Sanghvi) or TV personalities (like Barkha Dutt) or movie stars (like Shah Rukh Khan). Non celebrity accounts ( like mine and I have included one more – @MrsGandhi – just to confirm ) are the ones with negligible fake followers, but even they have some some ! Times of India’s own Twitter account (S.No. 09) has as much fake followers as other celebrities. In fact in this aspect, Hindustan Times (S.No. 10) , the closest competitor of TOI, fares better with lesser fake followers. Should we junk TOI and go for HT then? Considering the above, to print an exclusive article on quality of Modi’s Twitter followers is one of the reasons why the difference between the world’s oldest profession and media profession is fast dwindling. PS: The only celebrity account that comes out with flying colors is at S.No. 12. ( This is just to ensure that I am not accused of bias while debunking the TOI story). ********************************************************************************************************************** Updates: A slightly modified version of this blog was published on Niti Central on 27th October, 2012.

Does that mean all these people are faking their popularity? Shame on Times of India…!!! Surprisingly the journalist of this news ie ANKUR JAIN’s account @toi_ankurJ is itself a fake handle in twitter.. this handle was just created by ToI to publish this news and it is now deleted..!! Whats more hilarious is that the too itself says that it is accurate for followers less than 50,000 and Modijihas 1 minnion followers. No one takes toilet paper seriously. Why bother to write a blog over it. yes fine toilet paper for such an important news by the i am also follower of Narendra Modi where you shown my account??? Prashanth K.P.

__label__wiki	0.994089	0.994089	Greenville Roots Golden Strip SC Elections Greenville seeks to honor its Black heritage through public art. Some want more. Macon Atkinson \| Greenville News Drive past the intersection of S. Hudson and W. Washington streets and you'll see a corner construction zone, giant slabs of concrete ripped up behind a safety barrier. It's not much to see right now, but that will change. The space will give way to a plaza where a statue of Lila Mae Brock will stand, welcoming visitors to Unity Park. The bronze statue will honor Brock's contributions to Greenville, particularly to the Southernside community that she served for years as a missionary before her death in 1996. It's also recognition of the Black men and women — like Brock — who helped make Greenville what it is today. The city commissioned the 7-foot statue to artist Charles Pate Jr. in 2019 with a project budget of $85,000-$100,000. The statue will honor Brock's memory and represent peace and unity, said Katie Skoloff, a member of Greenville's Arts in Public Places Commission. Brock isn't the only figure to be memorialized in public art. A piece in honor of Josh White, years in the making, is waiting to be installed downtown on Hammond Street. The work will commend the Greenville native who was an innovator in the Piedmont blues music style. A citizens committee spearheaded the project with assistance from the city, which contributed $25,000 in matching funds. Read More: What ever happened to statue honoring Greenville bluesman Josh White? The Brock and White statues are only part of a handful of Greenville's 70-plus public art installations to pay homage to the city's Black heritage, and Skoloff said the city is looking for more ways to explore diversity and history through art.. "We're excited that this Josh White piece is timely, and we are seeking out more pieces that celebrate diversity and bringing more artists to do that," Skoloff said. State Rep. Chandra Dillard (D - Greenville) is dreaming even bigger. Pursuing 'wholistic' history Dillard, a Greenville native, has always loved history. To know where you're headed, you have to know where you come from, she believes. "I think what the city is doing is great, but I guess if we're going to go further, faster, we probably need some dedicated attention to this," Dillard said. Dillard would like to see a more wholistic approach — recognition for the people, and places, that have helped shape the city. "I think Greenville is changing so fast and because of that, we often have our eye on the future. It would pay to look at our history," she said. "I think it's important because without that, we can't have an appreciation for where we are now." Read More: Properties the city of Greenville wants to designate as historic Mayor Knox White told The News he has asked Dillard to help guide the city as it explores ways to "recognize our full history." "Unity Park will also provide a platform for telling some amazing stories of the Southernside neighborhood," White said in a text message. "Sometimes the stories don’t paint a good picture of Greenville racial relations in the past. But they are true stories we all need to hear as we move forward." Dillard is glad to help the city, she said. She's also happy to know White and City Council are on board with her goals. "In this time of equity and history, we need to be able to portray a more wholistic story of Greenville's history," Dillard said. 'A part of our history' In addition to ideas for new public art, Dillard and the city are working to identify historic places that could be preserved or memorialized. The challenge lies in preserving a history that is rapidly disappearing. Parking lots and corporate offices have sprung up in place of old buildings in Greenville's historic Black business district, once a thriving hub of social and business spaces only two blocks off of Main Street. A segregated train station that once marked the district is gone, replaced now by a SunTrust building. Only two major buildings in the area remain intact: the John Wesley United Methodist Church and the Working Benevolent Temple and Professional Building, which now holds office space. Furman professor Brandon Inabinet worries the city will continue to lose sites like these if it doesn't take concrete steps for preservation. "As the city continues to gentrify, there are a lot of places like that where we're losing that sense that downtown was the core of those conflicts, those questions about equality and justice," Inabinet said. Dillard is considering another spot in Greenville's West End, the historic McClaren Medical Shelter. The registered historic site was just recently moved 54 feet from private to city property at its location on Wardlaw Street for preservation. To Dillard, preserving what remains is about more than just saving old structures. "It's not about the buildings," she said. "It's about the stories." "That's a part of our history." A minority story against a majority current Some may wonder why an object like a sculpture or a building is so important. Ask Inabinet, and he'll say there's more to it than meets the eye. "We're always a creation of the symbols around us. Even if you don't think it matters, even as we think we're more than those things, the monuments are always constructing the story we tell about who we are and our past," Inabinet said. "There are things you can see, like the Sterling High School monument, that really do help African American people feel like they are part of the community and their history is valued, too. But it is a minority story against a majority current." Public art installations and historic preservation have far-reaching effects, Dillard said. They foster an appreciation and help those who lived that history feel appreciated and included. "The main thing is to honor people who helped build Greenville who normally don't get recognized," she said. Inabinet applauds the works in honor of Brock and White. The city is starting good conversations about its history through public art, he said. But there's still plenty of work to do, he thinks. "There is amazing work being done. But I always think we can't go fast enough on this sort of thing," Inabinet said. Macon Atkinson is the Greenville city watchdog reporter.

__label__wiki	0.682507	0.682507	Anna Homler Up-Coming Recent Past Gigs Older Show Archive Reviews/Interviews Breadwoman Reviews Breadwoman Interviews Vocal Workshop Sound Kitchen Installations/Performances Breadwoman Pharmacia Poetica Review: The Attic — Breadwoman & Other Tales Previous Post Back Next Post By AnnaHomler \| January 8, 2016 June 13, 2016 Breadwoman & Other Tales has the feel of freshly resurfaced collected recordings from a forgotten tribe. It is in fact the organic collaboration between Anna Homler and Steve Moshier. In her artistic practice, Anna Homler approaches visual arts, performance and sound art. In 1982, she assumes the role of Breadwoman and documents her magical speech in the form of rhythmic, melodic sound. The Breadwoman character is outlined as being so old she turned into bread. By positioning herself outside the space or time linearity, it is almost impossible to contextualize her. The project was subjected to a musical dimension when Steve Moshier joined in, complementing the recordings by composing, mixing and engineering the music. Breadwoman & Other Tales is, dare I say, so much more than a musical project. How can such a fundamental need – that of singing or producing sounds – have such a modern approach to it? I think the answer here is its forward-thinking interdisciplinarity. The LP inhabits the skin of an intricate art project that enmeshes artistic mediums such as performance, photography and music, while investigating language and its systems. Anna Homler tackles language by inventing a new one, completely displacing its conventional structuralism and meaning. Just by the simple act of opening her mouth and modulating the flow of air being expelled from her lungs, she delivers a plethora of haunting sounds, seemingly impossible to discern, far from any language known to us. The sounds she produces indeed suggest a vocal construct akin to the wisdom of an old woman and the naïveté of a little girl at the same time. If you really feel the need to pinpoint it, it could resemble shamanic rituals, with their inherent primal and earthy qualities. This invented language reaches such a level of musicality that it is easy to blur the fringe of contact between music and language. Roland Barthes underlined this idea in his series of interviews called The Grain of Voice. He argued that this very precise space, the encounter between a language and a voice, which he calls “the grain of the voice”, occurs when the latter is in a dual posture, a dual production – of language and of music. Steve Moshier manages to give birth to some sort of ritualistic mythical electronica, powerful yet subtle, so as to not drown Breadwoman’s enthralling melodies. He uses her voice as a sonic element, interweaving its meshes with the warmth of analog sounds. The sixth piece, Sirens, stood out to me the most. It is engulfed in a reverberating primordial screech, reminiscing of the eerie sounds the sirens use to lure sailors into certain death. The effect of this one is disarming. I will let you discover by yourself the rest of the pieces. This is a unique musical journey into thought, to be carefully listened in its entirety.

The temperature controlled modification of a previously reported splash test setup using high speed imaging enables to observe and measure rheological changes in liquid samples and can, in turn, monitor a peptide self-assembly or polymerization reaction accompanied with specific changes in solution viscosity. A series of 2mm glass beads were dropped into an Fmoc-L3-OMe (methylated Fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl-trileucine) solution mixed with Alcalase 2.4L (EC 3.4.21.62) or first dipped in Tetramethylethylenediamine (TEMED), a catalyst for acrylamide polymerization, then dropped into acrylamide. The resulting splashes were observed using a high speed camera. The results demonstrate that the viscosity changes of the peptide sample during the peptide self-assembly or acrylamide polymerization affect the specific shape and evolution of the splashing event. Typically, the increase in viscosity while the reaction occurs decreased the size of the splash and the amount of time for the splash to reach maximum extension from the moment for the beads to impact the sample.

__label__wiki	0.897735	0.897735	The Researcher Behind The ‘World’s First Designer Babies’ Designer babies? Yes, don’t be shocked. Man has created designer babies. They are called Lulu and Nana. Meet Chinese researcher He Jiankui. This week he claimed he used the gene-editing tool CRISPR to make the world’s first genetically edited babies. How did he do that? By altering the embryos of seven couples (the males had HIV) during in vitro fertilization (IVF). This led to one pregnancy and the birth of twin girls with pseudonyms Lulu and Nana. Why did he do that? He says it was to remove the pathway through which HIV enters by instructing CRISPR-Cas9 to disable a gene called CCR5. His goal? Babies with HIV resistance, a trait that fewer than 1 percent of people are estimated to have. Who is He Jiankui? He is 34 and a father of two girls. He studied at Stanford University and Rice University before returning to China. He now runs two genetics companies and a lab at Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech) in Shenzhen. His recent work broke from scientific protocol and ethical norms, both in method and delivery, says this report. The research wasn’t published in a peer-reviewed journal, so his claims that the editing was successful (and that no other genes were harmed) remain unverified. Unconventionally, he made the announcement at an international gene editing conference and in interviews with the Associated Press. In a video posted on YouTube, he spoke about discrimination that HIV-positive people still face in China and many developing countries. “Gene surgery is and should remain a technology for healing. I understand that my work will be controversial, but I believe families need this technology, and I’m willing to take the criticism for them.” Has there been backlash? Definitely there has been. The scientific community has raised serious concerns on the issue. They say Using CRISPR to modify sperm, eggs or embryos is banned in the US (besides in lab research). (Take note that it is permitted in China.) This also has the risk of altering other genes that weren’t meant to be modified. When CRISPR is used to treat deadly diseases in adults, those changes are confined to the individual. But when it comes to embryos, those changes can be inherited by future generations. “Modifying human embryos at this stage in our understanding of biology is clearly unethical. We do not yet understand the full biological consequences of these actions even in small animals,” says Christopher Anderson, a bioengineering professor at UC Berkeley. But He has his supporters too Harvard University geneticist George Church calls HIV “a major and growing public health threat,” telling the Associated Press of He’s gene editing: “I think this is justifiable.” FOR MORE, READ: China gene babies: Is genetic editing mad science or the birth of a brave new world?

Serbia’s power utility Elektroprivreda Srbije (EPS) has officially started the construction of a flue gas desulphurization plant in Nikola Tesla B (TENT B) thermal power plant. The EUR 210 million investment will be implemented by Japanese Mitsubishi Power while the deadline for completion is March 2024. The investment is estimated at EUR 210 million euros, and the contractor is Mitsubishi Power According to EPS, sulfur dioxide emissions will be reduced from 3,000 milligrams per cubic meter to 130 milligrams, and the volume of solid particles will be cut from 50 milligrams per cubic meter to below 10 milligrams. Lower emissions are expected to help reduce air pollution which gets worse as heating starts. TPP Nikola Tesla B took the 6th place on the list of the ten largest SO2 emitters among power plants in Europe SO2 emissions, one of the main air pollutants, were six times higher than allowed last year. On the 2016 list of the ten largest SO2 emitters among power producers in Europe, the Nikola Tesla B thermal power plant took the 6th place. EPS is struggling to reduce SO2 emissions from its power plants. The company started the construction of a desulphurization facility at TPP Nikola Tesla A last year, and plans to extend the life of TPP Kostolac A by building such a unit. EPS has completed the construction of a desulphurization facility at the Kostolac B thermal power plant, but the project is causing numerous controversies in the public. Kostolac B breached Serbia’s overall national limit by 1.45 times and its individual level by almost ten times, with 79,113 tons. Mihajlović: Without reducing emissions, thermal power plants will not be able to work EPS’s acting General Manager Milorad Grčić said the new project would reduce air pollution, and improve energy stability in the country. Out of the EUR 210 million, domestic companies will conduct work worth EUR 120 million. According to Grčić, projects like this one guarantee the future of coal-fired power plants in Serbia as well as energy stability. The desulphurization project at the Nikola Tesla B power plant will reduce sulfur dioxide emissions from the current 80,000 tonnes per year to 4,500 tonnes, which is about 20 times lower, he added. Energy security is just as important as environmental security Minister of Mining and Energy Zorana Mihajlović said the beginning of the project is important for a healthier environment, but that the vision is even more important if Serbia wants big changes. Energy security is just as important as environmental security, and if Serbia doesn’t invest in reducing harmful emissions, it means that thermal power plants cannot continue to operate, she said. Minister of Environmental Protection Irena Vujović said systems like these contribute to faster harmonization of Serbian regulations with EU regulations. “Our imperative is environmental protection and better air quality,” she added.

But this new disc from SOMM demonstrates his skill and imagination when writing for this instrument. Mark Bebbington, a champion of British piano music, is renowned for bringing lesser known or rarely-heard repertoire to light and this disc contains the first recording of the Introduction and Fugue for two pianos, written in 1947 and dedicated it to the famous two-piano team Phyllis Sellick and Cyril Smith. It is a work of Bachian polyphony, carefully-crafted counterpoint, rich orchestral textures and echoes of Debussy and Ravel in some of the filigree passagework, as well as English folksong idioms. There are even hints of Messiaen in some of the harmonies. It’s the most substantial work on the disc and is handled with precision and sensitive colouration by Bebbington and Omordia. Beautifully paced, it combines moments of exquisite delicacy contrasting with grand statements and dramatic interludes, in keeping with its Baroque model. The other longer work on this disc is a transcription for two pianos of the ever-popular Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis, arranged by Maurice Jacob and Vaughan Williams. In this version it has a spareness which allows interior details to come to the fore and is more intimate than its orchestral cousin. The sparser textures reveal the Renaissance harmonies more clearly, reminding us of the inspiration for this work. The rest of the disc is occupied with short works, including the Fantasia on Greensleeves (also recorded for the first time), A Little Piano Book and the Suite of 6 Short Pieces, works for junior piano students, which although miniature in scale reveal so many of the attributes of RVW’s musical language and innate lyricism which make his work so enduring and popular. But these are not mere trifles: the slower movements are reflective, tinged with melancholy. The opening track, The Lake in the Mountains, also written for Phyllis Sellick, proved to be RVW’s last work for solo piano. Haunting and mysterious, it is a piece of great charm and is thoroughly pianistic in its structure and serene character.
