Singapore Heritage Study Trip
6 Comments / Architecture, Events, Studio / By Adlan Khalidi
I’ve went to Singapore for the last mid-term break with my 45 studiomates for the Heritage and Contemporary study visit. Here’s the brief journal about my trip.
Saturday – 1st September 2007
It’s the first day and I don’t wanna sleep because I’m afraid I’ll overslept and make my friend curse me. So I’ve watched few movies at my friend’s room and get prepared with stuff. After having our breakfast at KAED, we departed with UIA bus at 8 a.m.
After 2 stops at lay-bys, we reach Johor Bahru at 1 p.m. and have our lunch at Jalan Geroda. Next we checked in at Seri Malaysia Hotel and my roommates are Hakim and Reduan. We planned to do our study research at the Sultan Abu Bakar Mosque unfortunately, there was a pilgrimage course take place on that day. So, we just having fun at Danga Bay.
Late in the evening, we spent our time studying the JB city scape within Legaran Seget. It looks like Jalan TAR in KL as important nodes in JB. After having dinner at McDonalds in City Square, we went back to hotel. Late in the midnight, we’ve celebrated Najwa and Muna’s birthdays over there.
Sunday – 2nd September 2007
We went to Larkin bus terminal and from there, we took PERLING bus to go to Singapore. Yeah! Its a bit tiring going through the immigration and customs. We arrive Queen St. bus terminal around 12pm and we switched to our travelling bus. Now, I’m in the Lion City! I’m very excited to see such scenery of concrete jungle with well arranged landscape. Eventhough its just a neighbouring country, but its totally different from KL.
We went to Costa Sands Resort in Pasir Ris as we will accommodate there for 4 days and 3 nights. After having lunch, we went to Museum of Asian Civilization and do some analyses study along Telok Ayer Street. Red Dot Design Museum was just opened and we watch the exhibition of the best products design and concept there. We have our Singapore Murtabak for dinner at Victory Restaurant. Its quite thick and delicious, let’s think like a lasagna but its tasty of course.
Next, we went for a walk and sight seeing at Suntec City complex, one of the hottest shopping and business complex in this city. Fortunately, at the convention centre, it’s the last day of COMEX 07 which is a Singapore version of PC FAIR in KL. So, some of my friend and I went there to survey how the prices of those computers gadget. Its very tiring when trying to do the comparison, I need to multiply 2.3 on every stated price. In the end, I’ve just bought myself a purple-silicone rubber-foldable keyboard for S$10 (RM23) whereas Low Yat price is more than RM30. We take the bus from Esplanade and back to the resort.
Monday – 3rd September 2007
We spent some time doing study and analyzing area in Clarke Quay, which for me is a Jalan Bangsar version of Singapore, where people having their nightlife here. But we came in the morning and most shops are closed. It was raining in the evening and we have to make it through the rain from Al-Abrar mosque to the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA). URA is a DBKL but specializes for the town planning in this city. There are Singapore City Gallery that exhibits the development of the city, history and conservation and what I’m totally adore is that there are 2 models of the island and 1 focuses on the city planning.
We went to Bugis Street at 9pm. It’s a biggest covered-street shopping (like Petaling Street) in city. Its quite cheap and it’s a shopping haven for tourist and locals. I’ve bought many key chains and shirts as a souvenir for my family and friends there. But most shops closes at 10pm and we need to rush before they closed.
Tuesday – 4th September 2007
We went to Heritage Conservation Centre (HCC) at Jurong area. It’s a big storage and lab for the artifacts in Singapore. They have state of the art technology in the conservation field down there. Why doesn’t Malaysia have any place like this?
Unfortunately for that day, Farhan received a bad news about his grandfather. So he need to return to his hometown to see his grandpa but its difficult for him because he come to Singapore with a group passport. After dealing with the embassy, he managed to pass the immigration.
We had our lunch at Hjh. Maimunah Restaurant and we perform our prayers at Masjid Sultan. After window shopping at the Kg. Glam area, fortunately I’ve met with the group from HS students and its fun to meet Hidayah with her group. My next destination is the Malay Heritage Centre.
We made our own way to MRT because we want to go to Orchard Road. At the Bugis MRT station, fortunately I’ve met with Marsita and her friend. It seems like my heart beat faster as if I’m falling into her once again. The train is very crowded at that time. After switching train at City Hall, we made our way to Orchard MRT station. For me, all the shopping complexes in Orchard Road seems like the one in Bukit Bintang Road where it’s a shopping haven for the rich people. But there are also cheap stuff over there.
We return to Downtown East in Pasir Ris and we have a barbeque that night.
Wednesday – 5th September 2007
Its our last day in Singapore. We checked out at 10.30 am. We went to Masjid Asy-Syafaah in Sembawang. It’s a modern design for a mosque and it looks cool and awesome. This type of mosque is truly a resemblance of what Prophet had done which is the function of the mosque encompasses not to only as a place of worship, but also a centre for seeking information and a community centre.
After performing our prayers and having our lunch, we went to Mustafa Centre to do the last minute shopping. This place is just like Mydin in Jalan Masjid India, Kuala Lumpur where Indian community lives and doing businesses.
Late that evening, we went to the famous Singapore landmark, the Merlion Park. It’s a very nice place if you want to take pictures before leaving Singapore. Next, we went to Queen Street and take Causeway Link bus to return to Johor Bahru. We reach Woodlands at 8pm and for the whole journey to Larkin bus terminal, it takes 2 hours. UIA bus waited there and we decide to head straight to UIA because its already late.
We stop by at Pagoh RnR to have our dinner at 12am. After that, we continued or journey and it takes only 2.5 hours from Pagoh to UIA Gombak. Can you imagine how fast the bus is? Alhamdulillah all of us arrive safely from this trip and officially, I reached my beloved Bilal at 4.30am.
P/S – More pictures update soon! Its the best mid-term break ever! But life’s getting hectic for the second half of this semester!!

Rihanna Backs Jay Z with New Track "American Oxygen"
By Victoria Pavlova in Music / Festivals on 06 April 2015
Follow Rihanna
Rihanna Jay Z Beyonce Knowles Lady GaGa
Rihanna backed Jay Z and her LGBT fans in Indiana.
Rihanna has dropped a brand new track, the poetically titled American Oxygen, and in the process, declared her allegiance for Jay Z's new streaming service, Tidal. The track is Rihanna's take on the "American dream," but you've probably guessed this from the title already.
Rihanna has also stepped up in support of Jay Z's new service.
The news here is that Rihanna, just like Beyonce before her and Madonna before that has lent her support for Jay Z's artist-friendly alternative to services like Spotify. On Saturday, Beyoncé also debuted her new track Die With You exclusively on the site. American Oxygen is only available to Tidal subscribers, whose numbers are still disappointingly small. Maybe it's the $10 subscription fee?
RiRi also debuted the track live, during her Indiana show - and she took time out for a more serious topic, too - to unload on Indiana's controversial Religious Freedom Restoration Act. Although the bill was recently amended, she still wanted to express how upset she still was at the rule.

"Who's feeling these new bulls--t laws that they're trying to pass over here? I say f--k that s--t," she told the crowd as captured in video footage on Facebook. "We're just living our mother--king lives, Indiana."
Good point there, Miss Fenti. Rihanna joins an impressive line-up of celebrities, who have spoken out against the bill, including Andy Cohen, George Takei, Samantha Ronson and Dustin Lance Black. Even Miley Cyrus shared her disapproval by calling Indiana Governor Mike Pence an "asshole."

vampirising the vampires, or trolling the trolls (i could never figure out the difference)
Nice when a review can help out. Mark Fisher’s Capitalist Realism never uses the phrase “pseudo-marketization” or any variant thereupon. You can go amazon and search it this way and that and you’ll never find it. Neither will you find reference to “simulation” in this regard in his book. But these phrases have become touchstones, really the centerpieces, of interviews and talks in the wake of its release. It’s even more prominent in the talk I just linked to, but here’s some copyable print:
But the phrase ‘pseudo-marketisation’ is crucial — what we have in public services is an absurd simulation of market mechanisms rather the market as such, a kind of worst of all worlds scenario in which a simulated market goes alongside continuing surveillance and monitoring from state bodies.
Well, here’s me on the book, from the day of its official release back in December:
It’s not even the standard story about privatization that Mark is ultimately telling here, though it’s a related story. Rather, Capitalist Realism is ultimately focused on something else – the ways that public institutions that haven’t and likely won’t be privatized have been forced (have been forced to) to participate in simulated markets, where a rigorous regime of testing on a set of metrics replaces the invisible hand of the market. It’s a governmental gambit driven at once by a desire to reduce funding across the board and to convince voters that they are taking the efficacy of public institutions very seriously. Since it couldn’t / can’t actually expose some public institutions to market forces through opening competition or privatization, New Labour established (and continues to establish) pseudo-markets, fake market-like games, for public institutions to compete in in order to obtain funding.
Glad to be of help, I suppose. But perhaps in exchange for providing usefully clarifying language, he could agree to drop the gray vampire / troll stuff from now until the end of time? Because when he says that…
Grey Vampires don’t feed on energy directly, they feed on obstructing projects. The problem is that, often, they don’t know that they are doing this. (That’s one difference between them and a troll – trolls usually aren’t under any illusions about themselves, they just find spurious justifications for their activities.) There is very definitely a type of person who is a Grey Vampire – I’ve encountered a few, and, once their shield of sociability and charm falls away, they become revealed as horribly, tragically cursed, existentially blighted. But the Grey Vampire is also a subject position that (any)one can be lured into if you enter certain structures. Part of the reason I can’t hack it as an academic is that, in a university environment, I invariably find myself pincered between the troll and Grey Vampire positions. That’s why I sincerely admire anyone who can pursue a project in the academy.
… but then proceeds to co-opt the selfsame (ugh) vampire’s contribution without reference, it all starts to look a bit nervous and shifty, no?

He does talk about the “supposed marketization” of education, though, which is not a million miles from your exact wording. And then in the ensuing discussion he uses representation and valuing the symbols of achievement over actual achievement instead of the possibly pithier word simulation, but again, I wonder if the difference is all that substantial. Are you saying that there is enough value-added in the particular words you used to warrant a footnote in a spoken presentation?
I’d also point out that in the interview you linked to he used “pseudo-marketization” in response to Matthew Fuller, the interviewer.
(I’m pretty sure I ended up incorporating some key descriptors of my dissertation used by my supervisor in the dissertation itself. He was describing what I was doing in it, so it never felt like undue appropriation, but.)
The difference is between your relationship with your supervisor is that you didn’t write a series of posts (that answered your supervisor by) talking about the importance of not listening to supervisors, especially “academics without projects,” and then go on to incorporate key phrases and turns of thought from the selfsame supervisor.
So yes, the co-optation of those phrases is annoying given the (non)conversations Mark and I were(n’t) having last year. Of course he comes close to them in the book – I developed them in writing a review of his book after all, in re-analyzing the things that he discusses. The takeaway is not that I need credit, who gives a shit. It’s simply that critical conversation is valuable – and whatever Mark was saying about vampires and trolls and the like he’s proving the point in these talks…

Funny story that I hope I haven’t told on here before. Recently got a readers’ report back on a piece of writing that included a strong criticism for not referencing Book X by Professor Y in the course of making a point. “What an obvious inclusion to miss!” But of course this piece had been originally, way back when, been written for a grad seminar taught by Professor Y… So yes, of course, about supervisors. I supervise tons of students, ever more grad students, and am happy to have the work I do for them lifted without reference…

Volunteer Alexandria on the Front Lines of Coronavirus Assistance
Organization needs healthy volunteers, in-kind donations for Care for Community initiative.
Alexandria City Public Schools
Volunteer Alexandria has been rallying residents to help assist our neighbors in need during this coronavirus COVID-19 outbreak.
The nonprofit organization is dedicated to connecting nonprofit organizations and city agencies with volunteers who can make a difference. Volunteer Alexandria has quickly mobilized volunteers to help with emergency food distribution through both the ALIVE! food bank and through Alexandria City Public Schools. (See more about ACPS food pick-up for families here.)
This Saturday, March 28, Volunteer Alexandria needs volunteers for a Truck-to-Trunk Mass Food Distribution with ALIVE! Inc. Volunteer here.
Earlier this month, Volunteer Alexandria launched Care for Community in response to the coronavirus pandemic, which includes current volunteer opportunities, in-kind donation needs and an emergency fund. More information is available at volunteeralexandria.org.
Volunteer Alexandria
The following is a letter from Volunteer Alexandria Executive Director Marion Brunken:
All of us here at Volunteer Alexandria hope you are keeping well. I am writing to you as our community continues to deal with the effects of the worldwide coronavirus outbreak.
Volunteer Alexandria has always been on the front line helping our neighbors in need. Our organization focuses on inspiring and mobilizing people of all ages to volunteer for a stronger Alexandria community. This spring our volunteers have been a powerful force in solving immediate and continuing community problems, and they are essential for a healthy, productive and engaged community. Our commitment to the people of Alexandria is solid!
Our core mission at Volunteer Alexandria does not and cannot stop under the most trying times our community may face. The need for community support is, now, greater than ever and our volunteers matter more than ever.
In response, we created COVID-19 Care for Community. Its purpose is to mobilize and deploy volunteers quickly and efficiently to those in need. For weeks, our volunteers have helped to distribute and deliver meals to our schools and other needy organizations. In addition, we have moved our volunteer force to action through a series of online volunteer opportunities and small-team projects. This allows us to continue to help while ensuring that our volunteer and broader community remains as healthy as possible. It is imperative that we not only ensure the public's safety, but also each and every one of our volunteers' health as well.
For us to answer this immediate call to duty, we are asking you to please become an Emergency Response Donor. You can donate securely online through https://volunteer-alexandria.square.site or mail a check to the address below. Every dollar will help!
Since its founding in 1980, Volunteer Alexandria has served as a link between individual and group volunteers and area nonprofit organizations and Alexandria agencies in need of support. Volunteer Alexandria works in partnership with nonprofits, government and the business community to inspire people to volunteer and to engage volunteers in activities that strengthen our community. Volunteer Alexandria has helped to make a critical difference in so many lives with volunteer opportunities for individuals, families and community groups.
The severity of this coronavirus situation took us all by surprise and we must all react just as quickly. I hope you will join me in keeping the call to action alive. Please support our neighbors and community and make a donation to support Volunteer Alexandria's efforts at this challenging time.
Thank you for your support and stay well.

New 4D Adventure at Meteor Crater. Journey into Space on the STS Barringer
May 29, 2019 | Travel
Meteor Crater invites young and old on a space flight mission to save the Earth.
FLAGSTAFF, AZ, May 29, 2019 /24-7PressRelease/ — Meteor Crater invites young and old on a space flight mission to save the Earth. Join Commander Perseus and First Officer Jackie, as they fly down into the Crater, and then off into space to intersect an asteroid that is on a collision course with Earth.
By combining HD film with special effects and full motion seats, guests enjoy a one-of-a-kind 4D experience on an epic journey through space. Located in the Meteor Crater Discovery Center.
The Crater Visitor Center currently provides:
• Interactive Museum and Discovery Center
• Impact, the Mystery of Meteor Crater, a big screen movie
• Observation decks for spectacular views of the Crater
• Guided Rim Tours (weather permitting)
• New Expanded Gift and Rock Shop
• The Blasted Bistro Restaurant
Meteor Crater is 35 miles east of Flagstaff on Interstate 40. Nearly one mile across, 2.4 miles in circumference and more than 550 feet deep, it is the best-preserved meteorite impact site on Earth!
See where Apollo Astronauts trained at Meteor Crater. Join us in celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the First Man to walk on the moon. For a limited time, starting early June, we will have an original Apollo Astronaut space suit on display.
Meteor Crater is open daily 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM. For more information call 800-289-5898 or visit our website at meteorcrater.com
Meteor Crater, the world’s best preserved meteorite impact site on Earth, is spectacular result of a collision that rocked the American Southwest approximately 50,000 years ago with the energy of more than 20 million tons of TNT.

Tripping the Couture Fantastic with Jean-Pierre Dorléac
http://quantumleappodcast.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/QLP-Jean-Pierre-Dorleac-Interview.mp3
Jean-Pierre Dorléac @spclsmthin
Christopher DeFilippis
He imaginatively dressed up Lorne Greene in TV’s Battlestar Galactica and artfully dressed down Brooke Shields in the cult classic film The Blue Lagoon. But Quantum Leap fans will best remember costume designer Jean-Pierre Dorléac for giving their favorite show its most iconic image, and for giving their favorite hologram his flamboyant style.
In our post Mad Men, nostalgia-driven media culture, it’s hard to remember a time when costumes weren’t so much wistful distractions to be blogged about as they were tools to transport viewers into another time and place. And when it comes to embodying eras gone by, Don Draper ain’t got nothing on Sam Beckett.
And that’s thanks to Dorléac. In his series-long tenure as costume designer for Quantum Leap, Dorléac had one of the most important jobs on show. When Sam Leapt into a new time and place, his first clue as to who and where he was was often his outfit. It was a crucial, visual shorthand for both the character and the viewers—one that required Dorléac to reliably recreate four decades worth of fashions.
He rose to the challenge brilliantly; whether tracking a dropper named Clapper as noirish Nick Allen in “Play it Again, Seymour,” fighting sexism as a stylishly-dressed Samantha Stormer in “What Price Gloria” or romancing on the high seas as wealthy playboy Philip Dumont in “Sea Bride,” Sam convincingly inhabited any era a story required. And Dorléac made it look so natural and effortless that he was nominated for four Emmys for his work on Quantum Leap (including for the aforementioned “Sea Bride”). In fact, his QL period costuming was so effective that it is now studied in university classes.
But not only did Dorléac have to faithfully recreate the past. He also had to give viewers a glimpse of the future. And his fashion choices have given Quantum Leap its signature genre style.
The designer’s futuristic flourishes take front and center in the show’s very first scenes. Al’s neon star lapel pin and matching shoe appliques are prominently featured in the tease for “Genesis,” as are Tina’s LED high heels and earrings. And while we’re still grinning over this retro-future chic, Dorléac hits us with Quantum Leap’s most iconic image: Sam, in his clean, white Fermi suit, arms outstretched, being buffeted by quantum energy in the Accelerator Chamber as he prepares for his first Leap.
Fashion, both real and imagined, was critical to the success of Quantum Leap. And fashion would remain the show’s primary tool to differentiate the past from the future, embodied mainly by Al.
Al’s flamboyant fashion choices were a brilliant counterpoint to Sam’s historic mien. And while the metallic fabrics, funky cuts and garish hues may have started out as a visual gimmick to make the hologram an anachronistic standout in Sam’s pedestrian surroundings, they evolved into an abiding character statement for Al. For a man who spent five years in filthy black rags as a POW, Al’s colorful clothes proclaim that he remains unbroken, and that he’s full of joy and lust and a zest for life.
Quantum Leap wasn’t the first time Dorléac recreated historical fashions for show creator Donald P. Bellisario. They started working together on Bellisario’s 1930’s era series Tales of the Gold Monkey. And Dorléac lent his futuristic vision to a parade of genre shows through the 1970s and 80s: Buck Rodgers in the 25th Century, Automan, The Greatest American Hero, Max Headroom, Knight Rider and the aforementioned Battlestar Galactica, for which he won his first Emmy. And his impressive roster of film work includes another time travel classic, Somewhere in Time, starring the late Christopher Reeve.
Dorléac has chronicled his storied career in his new memoir, The Naked Truth: An Irreverent Chronicle of Delirious Escapades. In it, the costume designer relates never-before-told, behind-the-scenes stories about working in theater, couture, television and film.
And in the vein of those never-before-told stories, The Quantum Leap Podcast is proud to bring you Jean-Pierre Dorléac’s first-ever interview about his work on Quantum Leap. Listen as he recounts his time with Scott Bakula, Dean Stockwell and the unique challenges presented by Sam’s trips through time. Along the way he tells us more about The Naked Truth, and his passion to preserve historic Hollywood fashions.
Join us as we take this couturistic leap!
Signed copies of The Naked Truth: An Irreverent Chronicle of Delirious Escapades, are available at Mr. Dorléac’s website jean-pierredorleac.com
The Naked Truth: An Irreverent Chronicle of Delirious Escapades is also available on Amazon.com and wherever good books are sold.

Arjun: India’s first indigenous MBT
Intro- Ever wondered why would a country which operates Russian tanks would develop a main battle tank on the lines of modern western MBTs? with its performance parameters closely resembling tanks like Leopard 2, M1 Abrams and Challenger 2. A tank which would be very different compared to the primary MBT operated by them. The answer is simple, to counter a western tank you need a similar tank. This tank would counter a western tank being actively marketed to the arch rival of this tank’s operator. In this article, we will have a look on the Arjun MBT, the first tank designed and built by India. This tank was never really accepted by its primary operator, which will be explained as well in this article. It is one of the most comprehensive articles ever written on Arjun tank, taking into account various factors that played a role in its development, deployment and service.
Vijayanta tanks on the roll
The Indo-Pak war of 1971 had left a lasting mark on Indian army’s operational procedures. Like all armed forces, it reviewed its actions, the performance of its equipment, personnel, standard operating procedures etc after the war ended. Even though they had won it comprehensively, there were some glaring problems. India operated the Soviet T-55s ,the British Vickers Mk1 and its locally produced variant named Vijayanta during the conflict. These tanks faced a lot of problems while operating in the tough Indian subcontinent conditions.
Thus a requirement for a domestically designed and built tank was put up, which could be designed ground up to operate specifically in the region. Hence the project was started in 1974 with initial requirements set at 105mm main gun on a 40 tonne tank. The Indians greatly respected the Royal Ordnance L7 105mm rifled gun. It was an accurate tank killer and was capable of firing the HESH (High Explosive Squash Head) round, which didnt need penetration of armor to score the kill. Its shockwave was enough to injure the crew and damage the tank. Infact they fitted T-55s, imported from the Soviet Union with the same gun to improve its capability.

In 1974, another event, which would play a major role in the development happened. India conducted nuclear tests in Pokhran and the world reacted with sanctions, thus weakening the Indian economy and its armed forces. The requirement for this tank was changed time and again to suite future conflicts in the region. Side by side, India wanted to procure another tank which would stand up incase Arjun didnt deliver on the promises. T-72M was selected over western tanks, even though it didnt meet some requirements, especially the HESH capability. It was similar in weight to the Vijanyanta tank and was cheap to operate and maintain.
The political condition played a part in this procurement as well, as India had gone close to USSR even though it was a Non-Aligned Country. Thus the T-72M was procured off shelf at the start, followed by domestic production. It would form the backbone of the Indian army’s armored regiments for decades. India would end up procuring a 2400 strong fleet of these tanks.
The requirements for the new tank were changed again in the 1980s as a new tank was now being heavily marketed to Pakistan, which had a history of operating advanced American hardware. M1 Abrams was now being offered to Pakistan, another cutting edge American weapon system, which India feared would tip the advantage during a tank conflict in their favor. India was now under sanctions,thus couldn’t import western tanks, T-72Ms were few and early analysis showed that M1 was a beast of a tank and thus the Indians faced a major dilemma. M1 which was developed to make up for the cancelled MBT-70, a joint project between USA and West Germany, had a similarly capable German counterpart. This tank, following the German tradition of naming tanks after wild cats was named Leopard 2 and was an apt successor to its predecessor the Leopard 1.
It sported a diesel engine instead of Abrams’s turbine which made it more reliable and longer ranged while sharing the same gun. The Leo 2 thus became an attractive option for the Indians, but they couldn’t import it directly due to the sanctions. Hence the Indians hired its designers as advisers in the Arjun programme. This answers the similarity between Arjun and Leo 2 MBTs. Thus M1 which was supposed to fight along side its German counterpart in Europe would now face a tank similar to Leo 2 as its enemy if it entered service with Pakistan.
The undeniable similarities
The tank was now supposed to be around 60 tonnes, sport a 120mm rifled gun with HESH capability thus capable of blunting the edge given by M1 to its adversary. Indians stuck to a rifled gun, developed using the technology of the L7 105mm gun due to its combat performance. It would have advanced sights and FCS so that the enemy could be spotted early and stopped in its tracks. The powerpack however was another problem. Due to the sanctions, German exported the older 1400bhp instead of the 1500bhp engine which powered the Leo 2. The ammo storage was derived from the Leo 2, ie rounds placed in individual canisters in the turret bustle and canisters in the hull beside the driver. Prototypes were developed around mid 1980s and had a tonne of problems. The rectification of these problems took a long time as this was the first tank being developed by the Indians.
Early Arjun prototypes (Credits-On the pic)
The delays were further extended by another event. In 1988, M1 performed poorly during trials in Pakistan and was thereby not procured. The tank missed most of its targets and broke down during the trials. Several modifications were thus done to the tank before it took part in upcoming conflicts in the middle east. Thus there wasn’t any need for Arjun as the prime adversary would not enter service.
The speed of the programme was reduced as the army which was happy with the T-72M and its 125mm main gun and didnt want a new expensive tank. It would strain the established supply chains thanks to different components, ammo and weight, thus adding operational costs. The operational costs mattered alot as the Indian economy was not that strong and the defense spending was much lower than required. Although labelled indigenous, it had high foreign content, increasing the costs of operations even further. It was put on the back burner and the development was painstakingly slow.
Arjun firing its 120mm rifled main gun.
Arjun Mk1 would only enter service in 2004 with the Indian army. Only 124 of the Mk1 variant were ordered. Less number didnt mean it wasn’t a capable tank. Its domestically developed Kanchan armor withstood hits from 3BM-42 Mango APFSDS round, the best the Russians exported. It sported FCS and gunner’s sight designed by Sagem, whereas the commander has his own panoramic sight. A crew of 4 operates the tank, it is commanded by a commander, driven by a driver and the main gun is operated by the gunner and the rounds are loaded by the loader.
Indians didn’t want an autoloader, as it made maintenance difficult and persisted with a 4 man crew. They stuck with ammo arrangement seen in the Leo 2 and thus avoided the carousel storage seen on T-72Ms, which mad e it infamous for blowing up when hit. The turret is fairly similar to that of Leo 2, including placement of gunner’s sight, turret mantle, commander’s sight. The tank was powered by a 1400bhp engine of German origin and 7 roadwheels with hydro-pneumatic suspension would propel its 58 tonne bulk. The tank, along with internal fuel can carry 2 external tanks, akin British Challenger 2s and all Russian tanks.
A follow on order for MK1 was planned but never placed, but an improved Mk2 variant was ordered. The Mk2 sported around 60 improvements over the Mk1 and reduced imported content considerably. It sported domestically made sights, FCS, a new ERA, a better engine and several small and unseen improvements internally. Around 120 or so were ordered initially, but another 118 have been ordered as per speculations. Several other variants of Arjun are under development too. A bridge layer variant has been completed along with an self propelled howitzer using 130mm Catapult gun. A combat engineering vehicle is under development. With Denel out of blacklist, of the Indian MoD, there are chances that Bhim SPH ie Arjun chassis equipped with Denel T6 turret might be revived as well.

Indian army is known to have faced a lot on controversies due to this tank. They claimed it was difficult to transport on the existing logistical system used for the T-72M and T-90S. They also claimed that operating this tank would also need extensive changes in maintenance system as it is very different from what they were operating. All of these claims have been rubbished by the Indian MoD over the years and hence the army accepted Arjun-Catapult SPH and a second batch of over 100 Arjun MK2.
Arjun Bridge Layer Tank
Arjun-Catapult SPH (Credits-On the pic)
Interestingly if you think that this tank was entirely useless after its eternal enemy never entered service, you are completely wrong. India would order the T-90S to counter the Pakistani purchase of T-80UD tanks from Ukraine. T-90S is an export variant of the T-90A operated by the Russian army. T-90 was based on the T-72B, thus fitted well into Indian army’s existing supply chain and further strengthened its armored regiments. Over 1600 such tanks have been officially ordered till date.
Sadly, Russia never transferred all the tech needed for domestic production for which India had signed. It was done after importing 120 tanks off the shelf, 90 in semi knock down kits, 100 in complete knock down kits. Another order for 330 T-90S was placed, these tanks were also bought in knock down kits. After this was completed, domestic production was supposed to start for the rest of the tanks, but without the technology for the main gun, base armor and source codes required to programme the FCS it wasn’t possible.
The experience gained with Arjun thus came in handy. All the technology developed for it was thus used to make up for the lacking stuff in T-90 production. Reportedly, the T-90S operated by India sports domestic base armor, a domestic 125mm smooth bore main gun instead of the 2A46M-5 Russian gun, and a domestic FCS. India is also developing a new ERA for future upgrades of T-90S and Arjun tanks. The existing T-90s will be upgraded in future with indigenous systems developed after the base for such systems was created for Arjun.
Former Arjun MK2 the present Mk1A is a beast!!
Another use of Arjun’s tech was found in local upgrades of T-72M. India received monkey models which were no where as good as the T-72B variants used by the Soviets and the Russians and hence India started an upgrade of existing tanks to improve their combat capability. Initially components from different countries were used but presently a domestic engine, domestic sights, probably a domestic FCS and Arjun’s ERA is being developed for upgrading the T-72M to Ajeya standard. Another proposal was to replace the turret of T-72 with all of its drawbacks with a variant of Arjun’s turret. Two prototypes were built but the program didn’t take off as Russia didn’t allow the Indians to upgrade its fleet. They offered new hulls to be mated with Arjun turrets which would have been the same as buying new tanks. This promising program was thus scrapped.

Arjun vs Tank Ex (Credits-On the pic)
Something interesting came out of India’s news in the Feb of 2019. There were plans to develop a lighter weight Mk1A variant to work better with the T-72/90 family based logistics. Some cooler heads prevailed and they designated the Mk2 under development as Mk1A. The newly designated Mk2 would be the lightened tank and over 118 Mk1As have been ordered.
Overall Arjun programme was a mixture of success and failure. It failed to be the primary MBT in Indian service and form the new backbone of Indian tank regiments whereas it succeeded in developing a domestic tank industry which could be used as base for the next generation tanks. There is another tank in development labelled FMBT (Future Main Battle Tank) which wont face as many problems as Arjun did thanks to the existing base. Army has proposed to cancel it and produce successive variants of Arjun to fill up the role. Recently Army issued an RFI which indirectly aims at procuring tanks akin the Russian Armata programme.
Thus the Arjun still faces international competition for service in its primary operator, a condition unheard of in most of the cases of domestic tank production. Most countries with domestic tanks, for eg Leopard 2 for Germany, K1 and K2 for South Korea, M1 Abrams for USA, Challenger 2 for UK, Le Clerc for France, T-90A for Russia, Type 99 for China, Type 90 and the new Type 10 for Japan, T-64 Bulat and T-84M for Ukraine, the upcoming Altay for Turkey etc will form or have formed the backbone for their country’s tank formations but in India, imported tanks inferior to the domestically produced option still form the backbone of Indian tank formations. Only time will tell what the Indians will do with their tank force.

10 thoughts on “Arjun: India’s first indigenous MBT”
A great article.. but in your personal opinion where does Arjun mk1/2 stands overall against it’s competitors as you said it resembles close to the western counterparts in terms of performance.
The mk1 variant is atleast as good as Leo 2A4, very few tanks even today have commander’s separate sight let alone a panoramic one. I am still reading on Mk2 hence no comments on dat.
Swapnil Soparkar says:
Superb article BattleMachines. A lot of extra information and background which I did not know. Thanks
Rohit Arvind Mishra says:
I will never understand as to what is the Indian Army’s love for the clearly inferior T-series tanks from Russia. The Arjun Mk.1 absolutely manhandled the T-90S during comparative trials – I would not want to be in Russian shoes if the DRDO ever asked for a T-90S vs. Arjun Mk.2 trials. I do believe you could have mentioned that in the article, along with a link to the CAG report of the trials, since it is a significant landmark in Arjun’s history.
Personally, I’d like to see an Indian Army ORBAT designed around the Arjun – with armoured regiments, Bhim and Arjun-Catapult SPH regiments, as well as engineering units all using the Arjun or its derivatives. That kind of an economy of scale would allow the manufacturing facilities to be expanded for faster production and cost savings (a major DRDO grouse has always been a lack of orders, which does not allow for bigger production facilities or economies of scale for cost reductions), as well as incentivize further development of the platform.
Samuel Diawson says:
IA prefers tanks of total wt. less than 50 tons for their battle strategy on plains of Punjab and Rajasthan. T-90S-UPG upgraded by CVRDE with all the technologies and armor from Arjun MBT projects- lessons learnt, fits their bill 100% perfectly! An Indian diesel engine of 1500BHP is also underway, and this would add a lot more punch mobility wise to the T-90-I-UPG. So, why the heck Army needs to go in for an almost 70tons monsterosity of an MBT?
Because they wanted something to counter Abrams, but Abrams never came and hence they are stuck with it.
Total combined weight of a T-90-UPG with extra fuel and ammo, would NEVER cross 50 tons! But, Arjun MBT2 would be almost 70 tons.. Also, due to this increased wt. , MBT2’s range is also reduced- whereas, T-90-UPG does not suffer from this shortfall. Therefore, now Def. Min. is considering manufacturing Armata series MBT’s in India with Russia’s ToT next! End of the long and winding torturous road, to the Arjun saga I feel people! Of course during ToT of Armata MBT, we could also add to the design from Arjun lessons learnt right?
Binayak Choudhury says:
Reblogged this on On Warfare and commented:
A rare, thoroughly researched piece on the Arjun program. Negates me needing to do the same!!
rohit singh says:
arjun would probably wipe out t90 in battle and india should invest in it and save money
build an engine that can handle that weight and cover the distance that is what make in india is about isnt it? how else are you going to learn things?

Burnley 2 Watford 0 (26/09/2016) 27/09/2016
1- Ahhh, how to start. What to write. Those of you who were there know how it was, those of you who weren’t probably had better views of the brushwork if not the canvas, none of you will be particularly inclined to spend time reflecting on the occasion.
So let’s just get on with it and where better place to start – indeed, where better place to start anything much – than Burnley cricket club. I don’t “do” minority sports, as regular readers may know, but a cricket club in the absence of actual cricket is a fine thing. It’s perhaps unreasonable to be overly harsh about Burnley, a town which I’ve visited rarely, fleetingly and not terribly recently (Sean Dyche’s Watford bow in 2011 the last)… but one can’t help but feel that much of the pleasantness that this area of East Lancashire has to offer has been concentrated into this relatively small establishment. There are many fine ales at £1.50 a pint, a splendid pie, chips and gravy, and affable company and atmosphere. All is well with the world at 7.30.
This feeling of bonhomie extends to the ground, where stewards check tickets in a cordon ahead of the turnstiles but cordially so, and don’t go for the body searches. This is a relief, as Daughter 2’s Watford teddy – who you may remember from the West Ham report – was in my pocket and would have taken some explaining in the absence of an accompanying seven year-old. Inside the ground the kiosk staff were decked in yellow t-shirts sporting Watford badges, and the intimacy of the venue – not to mention the understandable sparsity of the nether regions of stands in the circumstances, recalled times that were less successful but enjoyable enough in their own way.
Then, the football started.
2- The concern voiced by plenty – including, encouragingly enough, players and head coach – and contemplated by all was that the success achieved in higher profile, we’re the underdog, let’s get up and at ’em games wouldn’t necessarily translate to lower profile fixtures against The Sort Of Sides We Ought To Look To Take Points From. Complacency was the concern, or rather that the adrenaline, the focus that characterised the win over United wouldn’t be visible tonight against less glamorous opposition. As Dave reflected before kick-off, there has never been and will never be a circumstance in which Burnley away is an easy game – heaven knows we’ve been dicked here often enough not to head up to Turf Moor under any illusions.
But problems were evident from the kick-off. Immediately, and for the vast majority of the 90 minutes, the home side exercised a strategy that was uncomplicated and thoroughly effective… flood the midfield, hare down possession, force us into hurried passes that our forwards never looked mobile or – yes – strong enough to make anything of, and hit lone striker Sam Vokes as often as possible to play off the scraps. It’s not a novel strategy, but Sean Dyche’s side executed it to perfection and our lot really didn’t like being on the end of it. We couldn’t get out for much of the opening half hour, and the validity of our worst fears was confirmed by the pathetic bookings of Roberto Pereyra and Jose Holebas for mouthing off to the ref at the indignity of it all.
3- Nothing was working, anywhere on the pitch. The midfield was overrun and Valon Behrami, who you’d want to be in full beast mode in such circumstances, seemed to tamely acquiesce. Defensively we were porous and unsteady, Vokes doing far better than he ought to have been able to as one striker against three centre-backs; Nordin Amrabat was targeted, and willing as he’s been to adapt to the wing-back role – now as deputy for the injured Janmaat – he was horribly exposed here, looking almost exactly like a forward trying hard to be a defender but failing.
As for Burnley, their concern will maybe that they dominated the game and deservedly won… but didn’t really create an awful lot for all their domination; it wouldn’t have taken much to change the course of the evening, and there wasn’t much to challenge the pre-season suspicion that Burnley will give it a good old go this term but struggle anyway. Nonetheless, the spine was very strong, from Ben Mee at the back who had the better of Deeney, to Hendrick and the terrific Defour in midfield to the combative Vokes. They finally took the lead from a set piece, and having gotten away with so much it was aggravating to concede so cheaply. Nonetheless there was no disputing the merit of their half-time advantage, even if we briefly flirted with the suggestion that we might steal half time parity for a second away game running after a late rally.
4- Of the few positives to emerge from the evening, one is Walter’s continuing ability to positively influence the game with his substitutions. The corollary to that is that he’s not getting it right to start with, rather in the way that a centre-back specialising in saving tackles might be a bit of a concern. Nonetheless, a happy habit to have… here he made a very deliberate change at the break by switching to a flat back four such that Amrabat pushed up on the right flank with Zuñiga now filling the space behind him. The Colombian had a decent enough half looking largely neat and tidy in possession and as forceful and deliberate as he had last weekend; the new shape seemed to work too as we looked much more aggressive, potent even. Until, of course, we took a generous-spirited approach to marking at another set piece and the Clarets were two-up.
After which, so much bluster. We did get better… Isaac Success was brought on for Amrabat and immediately added some much-needed menace to our attacking play. We’ve described him before as a heavyweight boxer who moves like an ice skater, and the weather conditions – a steady, contemplative shower lasted much of the evening – contributed further to this suggestion by creating a slick surface that he slid across effortlessly. He’s young and he’s raw but he was bright and positive again; difficult to escape the reflection, given Ighalo’s miserable and immobile evening, that for competition from the bench to have its desired impact on the squad it needs to be exercised when someone’s off his game. Iggy’s had a few too many games like this. We had a good spell after about an hour, the best of the chances falling to Deeney who was first denied by a fine saving challenge, then failed to get enough power to a header after Pereyra had swivelled into space and dropped in a peach of a cross. Burnley were still threatening further punishment, the faultless Gomes denying Defour, but when Kenedy debuted for Pereyra – who was perhaps lucky not to have received a second yellow shortly before for a bad challenge and whose removal was being urged from the away end with Saturday in mind – we were on top for the first time. Briefly, inconclusively, but with Kenedy on the right and Success on the left both slaloming through to cut inside onto their weaker feet we looked a threat at last. Not enough, not nearly enough on the night. But something.
5- The gents in the back of the stand after the match was rammed and silent, but for the contemplative hiss of urine against urinal. From somewhere against a distant wall someone offered encouragement: “At least it’s not a six and a half hour drive home or anything”, to much laughter.
We did it in closer to five, creeping in at 3:15 after taking time to escape from the claw of Manchester (thanks, Dave) and an unscheduled detour on realising that the Satnav was heading us towards Snake Pass in the pissing rain, which had returned with a vengeance. As my brother later pointed out, it could have “got all Caradhras on us”.
The trip was survived by means of recital of club-themed obscure eighties footballers (“Rob Hindmarch”…. “Gordon Chisholm”….) and by very loud music. As has often been the case, a good day out spoiled by a terrible performance. This has happened before, often at Burnley, and will happen again. Enduring this is what makes trips like West Ham special. It’s good to know that some things don’t change.
On the pitch, of course, we need a reaction. Saturday would be nice. Yooorns.
Watford 3 Manchester United 1 (18/09/2016) 19/09/2016
1- I should perhaps preface this piece with a warning; specifically, surprisingly and somewhat contrary to the popular line I’m not going to concentrate on the visitors. It’s not that Mourinho isn’t newsworthy (he is), or that Rooney wasn’t shocking (he was), or that Pogba wasn’t comically ineffective (he was). It’s just that there was another team on the pitch (no, really) and we’re really rather more interested in them. You’ll find that there are plenty of other places to read about the team in red of varying degrees of shoutiness and one-eyedness. Unless, of course, coverage of the last week’s football has left you – understandably but incorrectly – suffering from the misconception that West Ham and Manchester United both managed to comprehensively lose games despite the absence of any opponent. This would in any case be a bigger story than our humble blog could hope to cover.
2- So the other team, then. Not the team in red, the other lot. Bit good. Bit bloody wonderful, by the way. We’ve got used to looking back at the early eighties as our golden period, the highlights and the details etched on the memories of those old enough to remember. Last season… last season was brilliant. You can look at it and say… yes, well, different era. Tougher now. Standardise, normalise, put in context and “it’s as big an achievement as the eighties thing. Bigger”. There may be something in that, in a dull kind of way. But some things don’t need context. This is bigger than dicking Liverpool last season. That was great, of course, but was special because we beat a name. This time we beat a team – yes a name too, but a team that had been talked about as title contenders. Hell, competing with them would have been an achievement. But we didn’t just compete.
3- We’re a bloody massive team all of a sudden. Even without hamstring victims Kaboul and Okaka – the fact that Kaboul, who looks like some kind of Marvel comics supervillain, doesn’t stand out in a line-up says it all. And even those that aren’t huge – Behrami, Pereyra, Ighalo – are hard as bloody nails. This was key today. United are no shrinking violets, they’re a huge side too. But we set about them with menace, energy and vigour and bullied them into submission. Behrami tormented Pogba. Holebas and Janmaat thundered up and down the flanks like angry rhinos. And Chris Smalling must have done something pretty grievous to upset the skipper. Troy enjoys a good scrap of course, but most of the time he only runs through the opponent when he absolutely has to. Today every run seemed to involve ploughing through the hapless United defender, as if wherever Troy needed to be just happened to be on the other side of Smalling and demanded urgent attention.
4- Which isn’t to say we had it all our own way. Indeed the first half saw the visitors afforded plenty of chances, too many. Smalling had the first and perhaps the best of that period, crashing an early header narrowly wide from a set piece in the first few minutes. Pogba, with no space and outside a crowded area, lazily slung a shot into the narrow postbox over Gomes and back off the bar. Valencia broke down the right and sent in a cross… Ibrahimovic was hovering at the far post, poised. The ball never reached him; Seb Prödl, on the penalty spot, wallop. Zlatan slouched. Not for the last time. The Austrian produced a masterclass to comprehensively blunt United’s focal point, the highlight coming when a rare slack pass from Behrami released the Swede and a flying challenge that was both brutal and immaculate denied him.
But at the other end, once we got onto the front foot we stayed there. Iggy enjoyed the first opening when Smalling – who looked as unlike a commanding centre-half as is possible to conceive throughout – collided needlessly with De Gea to present Ighalo with an open goal. He scooped his shot nervously wide in attempting to avoid the grasp of the scrambling goalkeeper and you thought “this is going to be one of those days”. Iggy seemingly thought the same, briefly losing his focus and making bad, deliberate decisions before settling down into an industrious if unspectacular job holding the ball up and often breaking wide. Prödl headed a deep cross back across goal, Deeney narrowly failed to get a touch. Janmaat sent in a missle, Deeney ferocious header was clawed away. Meanwhile, hared down by Behrami, Capoue, Janmaat, Holebas United were increasingly rattled. Passes flew into touch, to jeers from the stands. This culminated in Martial being dispossessed by Britos on our right… I’ve not seen it again, reports seem to suggest that it was a clean tackle, “could have been given” at worst. It seems that only United are permitted to benefit from such narrow calls… but on this occasion Oliver gave us the benefit of the doubt. I was surprised, United too… Janmaat pulled back from the touchline and Capoue, precisely, fiercely, crashed us into the lead.
5- At half time we were happy but nervous. Sam confessed that she wanted to go home. Many of us would have taken a draw. Unsurprisingly the visitors came at us after the break and eventually equalised after a quick break in which Zlatan’s sudden urgency transmitted the genuineness of the threat; Rashford finally got the finish at the second attempt and the stadium exhaled. We’ve been ahead at home to Chelsea, at Southampton, would this be more dropped points? Ibrahimovic finally got on the end of a deep cross and Gomes was equal to it, pulling off an impossible reflex stop that provoked a standing ovation. We’d all have taken a draw at this point.
6- We didn’t fold, as you’ll have noticed. At West Ham we pulled ourselves back from the brink, turned a game around. If anything this was more impressive still… a game that we’d been on top of suddenly slipping away, a belief that we’d blown our chance but done OK would have been, if not forgivable then understandable. Not a bit of it. As last week, each of the substitutions was completely brilliant… Amrabat came on for Janmaat, who appeared to have hurt his shoulder after being piled into an advertising hoarding in the first half, and relished the hovering-on-the-edge aggression of the afternoon. In the move of the game he released Pereyra down the right who pulled back for the second sub, Zuñiga. The Colombian hasn’t had much of a window to show us what he can do, but grasped this one. His finish, first time with the ball running across him, was sublime, unexpected and utterly marvellous. Few, suddenly, were taking the draw.
7- The rest was just tremendous. United picked up a rack of bookings as they visibly, comically, gave up on composure altogether. Wayne Rooney, a fishwife who expended more energy bitching at the officials than he did in pursuit of the ball, was tormented by Pereyra as we calmly retained possession around the corner flag. Echoes here of one of those 1980s highlights, Steve Williams of Arsenal in meltdown as we won the Cup quarter final at Highbury. In that game, Luther’s late breakaway goal sealed the win and relieved all tension. Here Isaac Success, the third sub, broke down the left and turned Bailly inside out before cutting back for Zuñiga who fooled Fellaini into giving away a penalty. At that moment we knew, and now nobody was taking a draw. The away end couldn’t get out fast enough.
8- Superlatives are dull, but I’m not sure I’ve seen us play much better than this. Certainly not within the window, twenty years maybe, that makes comparison halfway feasible. From five opening games that could have left us pointless we’ve taken 7 and a positive goal difference. That’s ludicrous. Now comes a different type of challenge… games that range from those that we might reasonably expect to win to those in which we’re the outright favourites, a rare privilege but the outcome not to be taken for granted.
But that’s for tomorrow. For now… well you just enjoy these moments. As much as you can. Suck it all up. We’ve said it before, but these are the good old days. Enjoy.
Yoorns.
West Ham United 2 Watford 4 (10/09/2016) 11/09/2016
1- Well it’s not Upton Park.
At one’o’clock it was pissing it down with rain. We’d arrived early, partly because That’s What We Do, partly because I felt the need to justify Daughter 1 missing her gymnastics. Partly because, you know, football. Come on.
An away trip with the girls is still a gamble, a reckless dice roll. Now we were sheltering from the rain on the vast Olympic Park next to something that looked like a melted helterskelter outside a bar that only admitted home fans. The girls were starving, the only food on offer that didn’t involve getting drenched was a barbecue put on by the bar. Fortunately there was a cashpoint too. We were a captive audience, and charged accordingly.
The stadium. Well… imagine Upton Park. Its claustrophobic, intense scruffiness. Now imagine something diametrically opposite to it. We were nine rows from the front, and bloody miles from the pitch. There’s acres of space between the edge of the pitch and the front of each stand. The lower tier is itself a bracing walk from the concourse across walkways suspended above the permanent but concealed and unused seating, some sort of ghost town. There are still bubble machines, woefully incapable of creating any atmosphere in this vast bowl. Fittingly, the bubbles sink listlessly to the floor.
2- There are bloody loads of people here, though. “Where were you at Upton Park?” emerges grouchily from the home stands during the first half, but it’s an intimidating sight nonetheless. This was, we were told all week, when West Ham would spark. Their big guns – Payet, Lanzini – were back, the new signing – Zaza – in place. The Hammers had had a tough start to the season, their points total reflecting this. This was when their season would start. “West Ham will win this,” opined Michael Owen. “Watford might struggle this season”. Someone pays him.
Much of that applied to us too, of course, but we’re still small fry, not top flight establishment, so few cared. There’s part of us thinking that maybe some of this week’s papers might have made it onto our dressing room wall, so to speak. All of which was forgotten as the Hammers started the game with exactly that thought – that this is game one, the game they must win, the game they will win – at the front of their minds. They hit us like a train, and the stands made a complete racket.
3- We looked slow. Or maybe West Ham just made us look slow. We were behind almost immediately, a corner, one flick – two? – and Antonio’s angling his header past a helpless Gomes. How did he get to that header? Why was there nobody on the far post? Too easy. It’s a long way back already.
Actually we rallied a bit at 1-0. Ighalo had already had half a chance at nil-nil… now the lively Pereyra suckered Masuaku on the right of the penalty area – with hindsight, a portent of what was to come – and Ighalo was teed up again, his shot deflected wide. This didn’t last though. The home side simply made it look easier, they were on top and enjoying it, like a dog being let out for it’s first run in ages. The achilles heel of a three-man defence – someone, Holebas, being caught upfield and leaving the flanks exposed – caught us out. The devilish Payet hugged the right touchline, Britos was too slow out to him and an outrageous cross found Antonio stealing in at the far post.
4- The most redundant thunk of the season, but one of those that needs saying anyway. We didn’t see the result coming at all at this point. West Ham were worth the two goal lead and were heading off into the sunset, or would have been if it hadn’t still been grey and miserable. One of those where you feel the stadium closing in on you and just want it all to end. It could have been anything at this point.
Here’s the thing though. West Ham came at us. Zaza wanted a goal and tiptoed across challenges looking for an opening. He didn’t get one. Antonio sniffed a hat-trick and galloped in from the right. Payet lined up a free kick ominously after Noble drew a foul. It was blocked. We were stretched, but we stood up to it… blocks and tackles; you’ll have gathered that things got better in the second half but Valon Behrami’s masterclass lasted ninety minutes, he was magnificent. Kaboul was a wall, Troy was getting his head to things. We definitely, defiantly, weren’t lying down. And by standing up we gave ourselves a chance. By not folding, we made it more than a footnote, more than a mere detail when Ighalo chased Capoue’s deft flick and his shot deflected beyond Adrian. We made it possible for Deeney to capitalise majestically on a complete catastrophe in West Ham’s defence. Suddenly it’s half time and it’s 2-2. How? Because unlike West Ham, whilst we made defensive mistakes we didn’t fold. Our heads were in the game. You suspected that West Ham never contemplated the possibility of such resistance. The presence of one Manuel Britos (sic) in the programme’s player list, of a pic of Capoue captioned as Holebas, was consistent with the national press’s billing of the Hornets as bit-part players, a supporting act. West Ham believed their own publicity and found themselves level at the break in a game that they should, could, have had in the bag.
Incidentally it was also at 2-0 down that Sofia had remembered that her yellow Watford teddy, whose match-influencing powers seem to wane when left forgotten in my backpack, had not been brought out to witness the game…
5- The second half was the best football Watford have played for some considerable time, certainly since Arsenal in the cup, arguably this calendar year. We took the bag that West Ham thought the game was safely tucked away in, emptied it, clubbed them round the head with it, popped Dimitri Payet inside and lobbed it to Younes Kaboul who drop-kicked it into the stinking River Lea.
Front and centre of this masterclass was the midfield trio of Behrami, Capoue and Pereyra. Valon and Capoue have looked utterly content in their new roles this season already despite our modest points total to this point. Behrami is the pit-bull, cut out to do the dirty work. He was fearsome and magnificent, full of ferocious blocks and tackles with his best lunatic stare and blood dripping from his jaws. Capoue is relishing the licence to get forward a bit more, and loves the box-to-box role of the three. He clubbed in a third to put us ahead for the first time after teasing now fretful West Ham defenders on the edge of the box.
And now there is a conductor, a string-puller, someone to tease things apart and let the liquid flow through the cracks. Pereyra’s 45 minutes against Arsenal had been hugely encouraging, but in the context of a game against a side who also (perhaps more credibly) believed their game was won and of us being desperate for him to prove his worth there was the concern that we’d imagined his impact, over-egged the pudding in our minds. Given him an impossible billing to live up to. Not a bit of it. Elegant, mischievous, industrious, class. An absolute joy. These three are now the core of the team, and we won’t go far wrong if they stay fit.
6- You’ll have heard about the disturbances in the crowd, none of which were terribly near to us but plenty of which was clearly visible. Blog posts from home supporters pre-match confirm that this was far from being a one-off… segregation both in the stands and in the concourses was grotesquely inadequate. Complacent, even. Yes, football has become a politer, more pleasant thing over the years. But this isn’t cricket. People are going to get over excited and in a fifty-odd thousand crowd you’re going to get some idiots by the law of averages. If you’re raking in revenue from this enormous and extraordinary level of interest having taken advantage of an unusually generous set of circumstances then the very least you can do is ensure that the vast majority who want to simply go and watch their team are able to do so safely. West Ham lost a two goal lead at home, but their biggest embarrassment was off the pitch.
7- Meanwhile, Jose Holebas snaffled a fourth as West Ham backpedalled, completely incapable of changing the direction that this game had decisively decided to travel in. Much of the rest of it consisted of Watford possession, passing the ball out of reach of their wearying opponents. The Hammers had possession too but their chances were remote, half-glimpses of an opening. Even when Fletcher, on as a sub, won a knock-down to create a clear chance Gomes was there to block before the offside flag was noticed. At that point the game was up, and the home stands were emptying.
In front of us, Pereyra slalomed through the Hammers’ defence and would have brought the house down (or our little bit of it) but couldn’t quite find the finish. The subs were all significant – Prödl replaced Kaboul to get his head onto ever more hopeful crosses, Success and Okaka demonstrated another big improvement on last term – attacking threat from the bench, options that allowed Troy and Iggy a rest. Both had chances… Success screamed in on goal but flicked his effort narrowly wide. Okaka bundled Kaboul’s knock-down into the roof of the net and celebrated for half a second before seeing the flag. Burdened with relatively low expectation (a multi-million pound signing with low expectation. Jesus) he was a muscled, boisterous pain in the arse; with huge upper body strength he had the physique of Johnny Bravo and was precisely what West Ham didn’t need in the circumstances, until doing his hamstring and leaving us to see the game out with ten men. He’s a favourite already.
8- So much for the tough start to the season. We’d all have taken four points, I think, and United on Sunday suddenly becomes a free punch. Whilst we’re always going to be vulnerable defensively the magnitude of the achievement, wresting what should have, could have, in so many other seasons would have been a runaway cathartic home win from their grasp is every bit as immense as it sounds. Michael Owen’s column next week will suggest that Watford might surprise one or two people. Ladies and gentlemen, we have a team.
Yooorns.

Jane Wamaitha Vs Kembi Gitura
Bhesp 16 October 2020
Every time I see the lawyer on T.V my heart skips a beat, my ulcers rise and I remember the pain of the accident, I relive the pain, the piercing chest pain, my back stuck on the bed, knives poking my body
, stomach on fire, my broken leg shaking in pain, I am drained in sweat, breathing through the mouth, tears rolling but too drained to cry out loud.
This time the lawyer is being linked to the COVID 19 scandal. It is Thursday, the third week of August and the COVID19 scandal continues to unfold and shock, The Coronavirus that was first reported in China in late 2019 found its way to Kenya a few months later. Our Government, like many others, took measures to contain its spread. Medical supplies and protective equipment, a significant amount coming from donors, were procured and distributed through our government medical supply authority, KEMSA.
But in my humble opinion, our leadership dropped the ball right from the beginning. The day was 8th July 2000; I left my Kasarani house and headed to the bus stop. I was on my way to Eastleigh to visit a patient when a car veered from the road and knocked me. I don't know what happened but the next time I regained consciousness I was in the hospital, I saw Jimmie, my neighbor, in Kasarani, and wondered why he had followed me to East Leigh.
"Jimmie you mean you people were also coming to the same place as me?"
Jimmie explained that I had had an accident and was rushed to Nairobi hospital. The man who knocked me had given them his business card so that I may be accepted in the hospital. After the first aid, the hospital sought to find out who would be responsible for the bill so that they could continue with treatment. They called the man who had knocked me, he was a lawyer. He did not respond.
The hospital wanted a deposit of 30,000 shillings but that was not available so after carrying out X-rays and first aid to support the broken leg, they released us with a referral letter to Kenyatta Hospital.
The x-ray was explained to me. My leg was broken in two places, at the ankle, and below the knee
At Kenyatta Hospital, my leg was plastered and I was sent home. The pain was unbearable. I was hurting in my ribs, neck, head, and chest. More x-rays were done for other parts of my body. I was asked to start a therapy clinic at Kenyatta, every Wednesday. This therapy went on for several months.
Eventually when the plaster was removed my leg was not in a good condition and I was advised that I needed to be operated on and metal put inside to join the bones and correct the situation.
I was required to raise 150,000 shillings.
On my way home, after the removal of the plaster, both my hand and broken leg became numb and I nearly fell on the bus. I could not support myself. The nerves had died on one side.
I was taken to Gatundu hospital where it was noted that the problem could have been the loose plaster that I had previously worn, that did not keep the joints in place. After treatment in Gatundu Hospital, there was some improvement and I felt my leg had begun to heal. It was also in Gatundu that I was referred to the lawyer who would take my case.
I gave my lawyer all the documents related to the accident including police abstract, medical records, and x-rays. She then referred me to her doctor at Tumaini House. She explained that once the case is determined, her cut would be 30%. I agreed to this.
My lawyer contacted the driver who had hit me, apparently, he was also a lawyer and I thought that maybe his insurance would help pay for my treatment and also for my suffering without having to go to court but that was not the case. The case was filed in 2001. Again I did not foresee much trouble. The defendant was in agreement and the medical reports were available, but no, this was the beginning of a nightmare that has never ended.
We eventually went to court in 2002. I was asked to bring the policeman from Kasarani station, who had witnessed the accident.
The case was against United Insurance but to my surprise, the lawyer for United was the same lawyer who had knocked me! Now he was on the opposite side asking me questions! He later told me that he was employed by the insurance company.
He missed court several times after that. Each time I would go to court and I would be told the court had been adjourned. This was happening at the tail end of the late President Moi’s rule, the late President Kibaki and President Uhuru were the front runners for the third President of Kenya.
I was surprised to hear on the radio, the lawyer's votes been counted in several centers in Muranga, then it was finally announced that the man who had knocked me was now the Honourable Kembi Gitura, MP of Kiharu.
I began to panic. What about my case? I felt a dreadful feeling all over my body
Is that why he was missing in court? Perhaps he was very busy on the campaign trail while I suffered, my life had changed completely, my dream to be a singer, a far off dream. I felt the burning pain in my leg and my whole body. I had closed my business in Kasarani and was now very desperate, how would I deal with an honorable member of parliament?
We ushered in a new President, a new government but I could not celebrate. I was spending time and money in a court process that seemed stuck. I would go to court but my case never commenced.
“The honorable M.P is not in and he has not given any proceedings to commence”
The court would be adjourned. Again and again.
It reached a time when my own advocate began to fail to appear in court too and she would blame it on me, claiming I am the one who was not present. It was too much for me and I even suggested that if I got one hundred thousand I would consider dropping the case. In 2002, one could buy a plot in Juja, Kalimoni for 100,000-150,000 shillings.
I still dreamt of being a singer, I would live in Kalimoni, set up a small business, and produce my records.
I found a way to go around the false accusations of “no show” made by my lawyer. Someone advised me to mark my number on the notice board. My name was called
Jane Wamaitha Vs Kembi Gitura!
“Present!”, I responded. The judge asked for my lawyer and that of Kembi. I responded that I do not know. This happened twice. On the third time, my file could not be found!
I decided to search for the file myself. I went to room Number 5 of Milimani Commercial courts. The officers confirmed that the file had left their office for the courts. There was no record indicating the return of the file.
My lawyer then called me and said the file had been found and booked for another hearing.
By this time Mr. Kembi had lost the second attempt at M.P for Kiaharu but had been appointed the Kenyan Ambassador to Belgium. He was no longer available in court. The case kept on being adjourned but I made sure I attended all the hearings once a year as was now the spacing.
The judge had had enough.
He said he did not appreciate dozens of adjournments over a period of 10 years. He said that a judgment day must be given.
The judgment was set for 25/02/2010 at 2 pm
On the judgment day, the two lawyers were summoned by the judge. They took a while at the bench.
They came back and gave me a sign to get out. I followed them out.
“What happened?” I asked, my lawyer responded that a judgment had been made. I asked
“But what was the verdict?” My lawyer responded that I would be paid Shs 450,000 as damage and another 430,000 as cost.
My lawyer told me they would send my cheque after 30 days. I waited for 2 months before going back to the lawyer’s place in April. I asked the lawyer about the progress of my cheque. The lawyer responded that my case was appealed and was now in the High Court. My heart sank.
“Why wasn’t I informed? Who had appealed?” My lawyer said that Mr. Kembi had returned the case to the appeal. Did I ask why? Did they feel that Sh450.000 was too much to pay me after 10 years of suffering? She said she would inform me one day.
I wrote to the lawyer about my personal needs, my daughter had won a green card and was looking forward to settling in the USA with her husband and daughter. Was it possible for the lawyer to advance me Sh300,000 to help my children to travel to the US? She did not respond to my letter.
I was not able to help my daughter as my sickness had a long-running court case had drained all my resources. My mum sold her cow for sh20,000. The medical exam for my daughter and grandchild was coming to 120,000, we managed to raise this, but there were still the visa fees and flight tickets. It was too much and my daughter was not able to travel.
Today she works in a small eatery in MaiMahio, her American dream a distant past.
In 2006 I visited the Commission of the complaint at Sheria House, they opened a file for me and I complained about my lawyer. I was concerned about the frequent adjournments and missing files.
I was finding it difficult to trust my lawyer. I would go to court then inform the commission on what had transpired.
I informed them that judgment was made on 25th Feb 2010 and the lawyer had asked me to pick my check after 30 days, she, later on, claimed that the defendant had appealed.
My lawyer found out that I had been visiting the complaints commission and banned me from her office. She claimed I was quarreling and claiming she had taken my award money.
The commission officials gave me a letter to deliver to my lawyer asking her to explain the whole case and the status. Nothing much came from this intervention and a friend introduced me to legal rights for women organization.
Again I explained my challenges, they asked me to go to court and obtain all the proceedings. Another file was opened for me. I was given a card and asked to fill all the court proceedings including dates given.
When I informed them that my case had been taken to the Appeal court they were very concerned. They asked me to write a letter and say what I want. I said all I want is to be paid my money, even if it is by Mr. Kembi himself. I took this letter to my lawyer.
The women’s organization gave me a lawyer whom I gave copies of all proceedings, again we opened a file. The lawyer, from the women’s organization, also confirmed that indeed my case had been taken to High Court. He was able to access the file. The file indicated that Mr. Kembi should not be distressed (auctioned) until the court gives a ruling.
I have also tried to seek help from our local member of parliament and to his credit, he took me to Parliament with the hope of meeting honorable Kembi but unfortunately he was not in on that day.
My friend, the secretary of the disabled chapter in Gatundu had earlier informed me that she was also working with the Kenya Human Rights. She took me to their offices in Muthangari, again I opened another file, but there was a delay when my lawyer traveled to the Hague in connection to the post-election violence cases
I have also sought support from media and contacted both the big media stations as well as our local vernacular stations but they did not follow through for me.
Whenever I see Mr. Kembi on T.V, I think a lot, I have developed stomach ulcers, sometimes I just keep to myself and miss out on current affairs. When the announcement to change the old 1000 notes was made I was not able to comprehend the consequences of the deadline and I did not want to tell people I had saved up money because with my condition I must have emergency money. A week after the deadline to change the currencies I realized I am stuck with my old notes worth 41,000.
Through this letter, I beg the Central Bank Director to consider my plight and exchange my money.
I have tried everything and this letter is my last cry for justice, see how twenty years have been kind to one person and miserable to me and my children. This case has brought pain, misery, poverty, and conflict to our home. My last wish is to get a home of my own where my children and grandchildren can visit me.

Exclusive Video Premiere: SHEIKH – “Fonda”
- January 16, 2015 January 16, 2015
Produced by Grammy winning Ian Dowling (Jungle, Bombay Bicycle Club, and Catfish and the Bottlemen), new London-based foursome SHEIKH release their debut single Fonda today.
Comprised of Mazen Almaskati (vocals), Vish Mhatre (drums), Rab Honar (bass), and Jad Habib (Guitar), the band took influence from the likes of The Cure to Pink Floyd to create their own unique guitar-driven psych-pop groove.
To accompany Fonda‘s release, we’re thrilled to share SHEIKH’s debut music video which consists of live film clips, the band strolling the streets of London, and some ethereal dance moves. With another single scheduled to be recorded in February, we can’t wait to see what else SHEIKH have to offer. Watch the video for Fonda exclusively on A Music Blog, Yea? below:

How Is Amazon Aiming To Set A Footprint In The Self-driving Industry?
To help facilitate a quicker detection of COVID-19, researchers at IIT-Gandhinagar have developed an artificial intelligence-based deep learning tool for detection of the notorious virus from X-ray images.
This online tool developed indicates the probability if a person is infected with COVID-19. It can essentially be used as a quick preliminary diagnosis before the medical test, and is currently being tested by the Indian Institute of Public Health (IIPH).
The researchers, who have developed the test, believe that with the limited testing facilities for COVID-19, many countries are rushing towards developing AI tools for quick analysis using X-rays. “Developing a reliable tool requires a combination of right algorithms and data. This is where our tool would prove useful since it can be trained for diagnostic purposes and can be made available for wider use,” said Kushpal Singh Yadav, an MTech student at IIT’s Department of Computer Science Engineering.
The test was developed by pooling the data of X-ray images of COVID-19 infected patients along with that of healthy people from various sources available on the internet. With these images, they train a machine learning architecture using deep learning algorithms. Researchers shared that the model had 12 layers of a neural network.
They further explained that the deep learning method learns the disease diagnosis features from X-ray images in an automatic way. Yadav further added that the tool also uses images from other lung infections such as tuberculosis and pneumonia to ensure the specificity of detection of COVID-19 from other lung diseases.

The fact that it uses simple machine learning architecture makes it stand out from other similar initiatives. However, the research gave a heads up that the test is only indicative and further clinical consultation is essential to confirm the diagnosis.
They strongly believe that it will help reduce the burden on medical infrastructure with the current increase in the number of cases in the country.
Many companies are now working on fighting COVID by developing tools and test centres. ICMR recently announced that it is using IBM Watson Assistant to strengthen India’s COVID-19 testing facilities.

Minnesota State Fair goes virtual
For only the sixth time in its 161 year history, the Minnesota State Fair was cancelled for 2020. The last time there was no Great Minnesota Get-Together to celebrate the end of summer was in 1946 due to the polio outbreak after World War II. It won't seem right not roaming the fairgrounds in search of food on a stick, unique entertainment, or just plain people watching. But we are dedicated to bring you the metal favorites you've come to expect at Anchor Iron, a State Fair tradition since 1977!

Water technologies in the pre-Columbian Americas: The Inca
Posted on July 10, 2013 by lwmays
The Inca civilization emerged from fragmented independent societies by ca. 1000 AD (D’Altroy, 2003). The extent of the Inca Empire included parts of modern day Columbia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Chile, and Argentina. The small city-state of Cuzco became the capital under the rule of Pachacuti Inka Yupanki and represented a center of Tawantinsuyu (The Four Parts Together), i.e. the Inca Empire.
The Inca Empire was short-lived (lasting a little more than a 100 years) before collapsing as a result of the Spanish invasion. During this short time period they were able to accomplish a great deal in architecture, engineering, and agriculture.

The area around Cuzco contains numerous historical sites with examples of water technologies. Pachacuti Inca Yupanqui and his sons designed and implemented water irrigation channels around Cuzco including fountains and culverts for springs. He built Tambo Machay, a spring shrine type structure which according to Spanish historian Bernabé Cobo served as a lodging for Pachacuti when he went hunting (Hemming, 1982). Both, Tambo Machay and nearby Puca Pucara are huacas (“sacred things” or “anything in nature that is out of the ordinary”), that served primarily for religious services and worships (Bauer, 1998).
The Inca had a remarkable knowledge of engineering as evidenced by their roads, bridges, water systems, irrigation systems, and agricultural systems. The Inca road system was massive and elegant covering much of the Andes from the present day borders of Columbia and Ecuador to south of Santiago, Chile. This was the most extensive ancient construction in the Americas with approximately 23,000 km (nearly 13,000 miles that can now be charted) and possibly may have been twice as large. The massive road system of the short-lived Inca Empire obviously was based upon not only the new construction of roads, but also some roads built by the pre-Inca.
The Incas practiced the art of agriculture carrying it to a “remarkable extreme” (Bingham, 1948). They understood the cultivation of soil, irrigation of crops, agricultural drainage, fertilization of crops, and soil conservation using terraces (terrace agriculture) in most agricultural fields in the Peruvian Andes. Pisac, developed as an estate for Inca royalty is one of the most spectacular examples of Inca agricultural practices.

Pisac is one of the closest major ruins to Cuzco located in Yucay Valley near river Vilcanota at elevation of 3400 m. Its history and origin are almost absent from chronicles, except from few notes by Sarmiento de Gamboa in his description of the valley of Pisac (Hemming, 1982). It is possible that this was a place visited by Pachacuti Inca Yupanqui for pleasure but no historical documents reveal its history and origin. Some architectural evidences, such as gates, defensive walls and stone pegs for doors show a possible military role of Pisac. The site structures are scattered along the mountain side and consist of granaries, living quarters, fortified barracks and series of beautiful agricultural terraces with irrigation channels.
The water use in Pisac was mainly for irrigation and religious services. The central inti-huatana (The Temple of Sun) in Pisac is surrounded by walls and has few baths and a water channel. The water channel comes out of the western side of the mountain and is about 20-25 cm wide. It is hard to reconstruct the original water works structure because extensive restoration projects at Pisac “mask” ancient remnants with more pleasing appearance that is catered for tourists.
Agricultural terraces at Pisac which was developed as an estate for Inca royalty is one of the most spectacular examples of Inca agricultural practices.

Tipon
Tipon is located 23 km southeast of Cuzco at an elevation of 3560 m above mean sea level. It is made up of 12 terraces that are flanked by stone walls. In Tipon water was diverted from the Rio Pukara for irrigation and domestic supplies. Three irrigation canals (aqueducts) diverted water upstream of Pukara, approximately 1.35 km north of Tipon’s central terraces. The main aqueduct diverted water from the river at an elevation of 3690
Several fountains were built Tipon. The principal fountain received water from the main spring near the top of the terraces. This fountain provided domestic water supply
for the noble residents prior to use of the water for any other purpose. Another fountain which supplied water for ceremonial purposes and for domestic water was located on the side of one of the terraces. This fountain received water from a canal through an approach channel and conduit, then dropped into a stone basin. The unused water flowed into another downstream canal that conveyed the water. A fountain also was built in the Ceremonial Plaza.

Tambo Machay (“resting place” or “resting cave”) and Puca Pucara (“red fortress) are located within the walking distance from Cuzco and within 500 meters from each other, separated by the main road from Cuzco to Pisac. Comparing to Machu Picchu, Pisac and Tipon they represent water use technologies on a much smaller scale. Both, Tambo Machay and Puca Pucara have stone fountains with dual channels.

Grocery liquor sales legal but difficult to execute
Secrecy over how many in-aisle licences the government will issue adds to the confusion
By Glen Korstrom | March 20, 2015, 4:39pm
Attorney General Suzanne Anton said there would be in the ballpark of "dozens" of in-aisle licenses for all of B.C.'s grocery stores
Grocers can start selling alcohol on April 1, but will it be worth their while?
The biggest obstacle will be getting a licence.
To sell alcohol in a store within the grocery store, grocers need to buy a licence or lease space to a licensed entrepreneur. They must also be at least one kilometre from another alcohol retailer unless they buy the licence of an independent wine store or a VQA (Vintners Quality Alliance) store. Grocery executives told BIV that the store-within-a-store model is virtually impossible to execute unless the regulations change.
“There’ll be very few grocery stores selling wine if the geographic restriction is maintained,” Jim Pattison Group president Glen Clark told Business in Vancouver.
Grocery stores smaller than 10,000 square feet and larger department stores with grocery sections are not eligible.
The other option is to sell B.C. wine within grocery store aisles.
Attorney General Suzanne Anton told BIV on March 18 that the government will issue dozens of in-aisle licences to grocers, although she would not say how many or when she will announce more details about the option.
Dan Bregg, who is president and general manager at the Jim Pattison Group’s Buy-Low Foods division told BIV two days later that he is interested in the in-aisle option but remains uncertain of how he can make it work for the stores.
“We don’t see store within a store being a viable option for us primarily because of our locations, to my understanding, not being outside of the one-kilometre limit.”
The lack of clarity about how to get a licence to sell wine in-aisle has kept interested grocers from pursuing alcohol sales.
“We’re keen,” said Thrifty Foods communications manager Erin Coulson. “We’re interested and listening and learning and absorbing as much as we can.”
International wine sellers are also watching closely in part because wine industry lawyers, such as Mark Hicken, have told BIV that Victoria’s plan to expand preferential treatment for B.C. wines could contravene trade pacts.
Currently, B.C. has 21 stores that exclusively sell B.C. VQA products and they have been doing so since before the Canada-European Community Wine and Spirits Agreement came into force.
The chairman of the Australian Grape and Wine Authority, Brian Walsh, wrote a letter to Premier Christy Clark earlier this month to question her on why B.C. wine merits extra protection beyond its existing perks.
Some of the perks Walsh noted included that:
•B.C. wineries are permitted to deliver wine directly to customers straight from the winery at prices that do not include all BCLDB fees and mark-ups that would be applied to international wines;
•So-called “cellared in Canada” wines, which are imported wines bottled in Canada can be delivered using the B.C. wine distribution system even though they are not B.C. wines.; and
•There is a program that provides rebates for B.C. wines sold through government liquor stores.
Walsh prefaced his remarks by saying that customers bought $217 mililon worth of B.C. VQA wine last year. That represents a 20.9% share of the total B.C. wine market.
Sales growth for B.C. wines was 12% for the year, which represents $24.2 million of additional sales, he wrote.
In contrast, Walsh wrote, Australian wine sales declined by 6%, or $4.72 million in 2014 to $82.2 million.
“In light of this, we query why the B.C. wine industry requires further preferential treatment,” Walsh wrote in his March 5 letter.

Constructing an hourglass lamp with Arduino
Salvaged Arduino powers animated House Party
What can you do with items that are destined for the dump? As seen here, if you’re Neil Mendoza, you transform old furniture, TVs, computers, art, and even an Arduino Zero that somehow ended up in the trash into a musical installation.
His resulting “House Party” features decorations and control components that according to the project’s write-up are entirely salvaged. A MIDI interface, software written in openFrameworks, and a JSON file are used to coordinate sound and movements, which include spinning picture frames and flowers, tapping shoes, and a television that loops through a rather dreary weather report snippet.
House Party is a musical installation that explores prized possessions in their native habitat. All the materials used to create this artwork, from the furniture to the computers, were scavenged from the discarded trash. The music is a mix of mechanical and synthesized sounds. The piece was created while an artist in residence at Recology SF.
The actuators in the installation are controlled by an Arduino Zero (also found in the trash) and each screen is connected to a computer running custom software written in openFrameworks (OF). Composition was done in Logic where a MIDI environment was set up to send MIDI data to the Arduino and an OF control program. The control program then sent the data to the other computers over ethernet as OSC. For the final installation, the control program read the data from a JSON file, triggered the screens and Arduino and played the synthesized parts of the music.
Be sure to see all the zany action in the video below!

Differences between iPhone 7 Plus and iPhone 8
August 11, 2017 August 1, 2018 ArtsCase News
Apple could surprise us next September, but it seems that everything –or almost everything– has already been filtered about iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus and iPhone 8. Especially things related to design will change in iPhone 8 in the occasion of the tenth anniversary. Taking the prototypes as a starting point, we have a visual comparison that aims to present the differences between iPhone 7 Plus and iPhone 8, the biggest terminals of the whole catalog.
A ‘radiography’ of iPhone 8 reveal three important details.
Apple’s most important launching of the year is iPhone 8. Although it will have pretty modest dimensions, this device will have the biggest screen. So, the fairest thing is comparing it –in terms of design- to iPhone 7 Plus, which has been Apple’s biggest terminal until the special launching of the tenth anniversary.
Visual comparison between iPhone 7 Plus and iPhone 8: What will be the difference between them?
The leaks point out that iPhone 8 will have a screen of 5.8 inches and that iPhone 7 Plus will continue with a 5.5 inches screen. However, iPhone 8 will be a little under the “Plus” in the matter of dimensions because it will feature an OLED screen and its frontal will be better utilized. As previous leaks have shown, the design of iPhone 8 will be very similar in the frontal part to Samsung Galaxy S8 and Samsung Galaxy S8+.
Face ID: the facial unlocking of iPhone 8
But this won’t be the only difference between iPhone 7 Plus and the new iPhone. Besides an alternative design, each of them will have different hardware. Maybe they’ll have the same processor, but the RAM memory will be more generous inthe new iPhone, and the main novelty will be the camera. Although iPhone 8 has a double camera in the back side too, it will have a vertical orientation and it will also allow recording in 4K at 60fps.

Fallout 4FPSRPG
Fallout 4: Part 4
Developer: Bethesda Game Studios | Released: 2015 | Genre: RPG, First Person
After some random exploration, various side quests and most of the quest line for the Minutemen, I have finally decided that I’ve seen what I want to see of the vanilla version of Fallout 4. Maybe I’ll be back for some DLC later. I got to level 55, with 264 locations discovered and 108 quests completed. I maximized hacking and lockpicking relatively early and kept to mostly using single shot rifles, sometimes assisted by an automatic rifle with explosive bullets whenever I had ammunition for it.
The game generally had a bit too much street fighting for my liking. There were hardly any place I could go in the world where a gun fight wasn’t taking place somewhere in the distance. It often sounded like New Year’s Eve. Brotherhood of Steel was also quite aggressive and often had a Vertibird or two flying around. Hey, we have a skirmish over here, come on over and help us out! Sometimes it spiced up the action and was fun to take part of, but as said before, I still think they overdid it. There were situations where I just wanted to do a quest and was constantly pestered with skirmishes on the way.
By the way, I have a weird tip for you in case you’re bored watching loading screens. You can rotate the model by holding down the left mouse button and then move the mouse around. You can also toggle the green soda filter by hitting the V.A.T.S. button. I wonder if there’s more that can be controlled like this on the loading screen? It’s important.
Some more stray observations after a total of 88 hours and 50 minutes.
There was a period of time after having acquired the X-01 power armor where I had trouble obtaining aluminum because of both repairing it and also wanting to upgrade it fully. Slightly annoying. But as soon as it was upgraded completely, I started naturally accumulating aluminum again. I also had some weapon modding going on at the same time, all of which meant that I actually bought some of the shipment stuff at the merchants. I didn’t think I had to since I had been observant and always picked up the right junk. I guess the need just piled up all of a sudden.
While upgrading my X-01 power armor I also added the jet pack. Using it was slightly weird – a tap on the jump button to, well, jump, then press and hold the button again to actually fly upwards. At first I was very disappointed that the fly distance was tied to the action points. It meant that you could barely fly up on the roof of a low building and that was it. It also used up a hell of a lot of fusion juice. But after a while it made a lot of sense and I understand why they did this. Flying up on top of towers would have been way too overpowered, and using it to bypass fences and enter holes was still quite useful.
I know I have this thing with invisible walls in video games and often complain about them, but honestly, why add them to the perimeter of the open world area when you can just add some impassable rubble, fences and mountains? But maybe it takes more time to do properly and was on a low priority?
I also wasn’t too keen of the way many buildings were reset after visiting them once. I had entered buildings where I had picked all locks and hacked all computers, yet upon returning much later, everything was locked and protected all over from scratch again. You could perhaps argue about raiders returning and locking it all up, but I would still have preferred it to have been left as it was.
There was a remote island called Spectacle Island to the south east where I had to walk on the bottom of the sea in my power armor to reach it. I love small, remote islands like this in RPG, always have. It’s sort of a miniature open world all by itself. A few buildings, enemies, a stranded container ship, even a radio tower and some good loot. I wish there had been more islands like it.
Spoiler: Click
I started using Cait a bit after meeting her in the Combat Zone, a place I thought was going to be an arena game but thankfully wasn’t. She was a pit fighter with a strong Irish accent and a drug addiction that she managed to get rid of in her personal quest, strapped to a chair in another dilapidated building originally swarming with enemies. She talked much and wasn’t the worst companion, but I still liked Nick better.
I liked the dig quest with Bobbi, the female ghoul thief with the rusty voice. Yes, in the end I actually turned against her and shot her as we were confronted by Hancock’s lackeys, because I felt that was the right thing to do – and because I wanted to try Hancock as a companion later. But the long trip through underground tunnels was fun. One of her companion thieves had a hovering Eyebot that could zap holes in fragile elements of walls. It added a refreshing exploration element trying to find the next fragile wall.
It was also during this underground quest that I had a few very weird confrontations with bullet sponge gangrenous feral ghouls that refused to die. It felt as some sort of glitch and at one point it almost looked liked they healed themselves repeatedly. I haven’t seen this behavior before or after this quest.
I tried out two more companions after Cait. First, a Super Mutant aptly named Strong that I rescued from the top of a tower. He didn’t like much of what my goody two shoes character was doing and it didn’t take long before I ditched him. Fawkes in Fallout 3 was way more interesting.
My final companion was Hancock, the mayor ghoul from Goodneighbour. At one point I gave him a flame thrower and took some nice screenshots of him using it, but other than that he didn’t seem to comment as much on things as some of the other companions I’ve tried.
Speaking of Goodneighbour, I met the door salesman from before the war in one of the rooms at the hotel there. He was now a ghoul but of course he was still wearing the same suit. No need to replace that after more than 200 years.
That reminds me, I have to do my laundry one of these days.
While exploring in post-apocalyptic Boston, I also found a beer robot in a cellar of a building – with a quest. I had to escort the robot all the way to the hotel in Goodneighbour. Needless to say it was slow and we were attacked all the time through the arduous streets of the city. Luckily it seemed to be sturdy and didn’t die on me even once. I did manage to piss it off though and had to make amends with a quickload.
A really sad part of my time with Fallout 4 was that I could never experience the line of quests on U.S.S. Constitution myself. It was an old pirate ship with droids and robots acting as such, with the ship itself crashed down on top of a small house in Boston. The captain was one of those dark, tough robots with a pirate hat. I had heard rumors in forums about a really funny end to their line of quests, but for some reason they were all hostile as I approached the ship.
I tried to fix it with a console command. There were commands to align the player faction with another, but for some reason the faction for the U.S.S. Constitution wasn’t there. I even got quite stubborn and wasted too much time using the help search command in the console to see if I could dig up the right ID for them somewhere, but to no avail. I gave up and watched the quest line on YouTube instead.
The quest line was long and mostly about repairing the ship and its rocket motors. Sometimes scavengers attacked from the streets, but the ship had a line of cannons that could be fired several times. Some of the components for the ship had to be found in other locations of the world. Finally, the player was sent to a house next to the ship to press a button while listening to the captain on a radio. The ship lifted up and flew steadily onward – right into a taller tower building in Boston, parking on top of it. It was really laugh out loud funny and worth the trouble. The captain muttered something about them now being closer to the sea and thus it still being a success. Talk about a positive attitude!
Now that I think of it, I might have shot at a robot or two on that ship while I was brought to the Prydwen in a Vertibird for the first time. So if you read this and haven’t done that trip yet, don’t fire on a weird pirate ship on top of a house. The robots will go hostile and their quest line will be FUBAR.
Entering the mindset of finalizing the game, I started doing the quests for the Minutemen in Sanctuary Hills. I had postponed this because I feared there would be a lot of settlement crafting quests, but Preston himself didn’t actually offer much in that regard. It was mostly about going to farms and help out killing ghouls and raiders, or finding new spots then merely craft a radio tower and a power supply for it.
And I must agree with the complaints I have read on the internet about this quest line – way too many radiant quests about killing ghouls, raiders, or fix a kidnapping, following by the farmers accepting to be part of the Minutemen. The worst part of this was that the target enemies was just some random spot on the map often several kilometers away. It got old real fast.
Luckily there was an exception in the form of a castle to become the HQ. First, it had to be cleaned out of Mirelurk monsters and their eggs, an attack that was almost military in its planning. A radio tower had to be fixed, and later a skilled female soldier helped me gain way below to an armory, after which an artillery cannon was built in a corner of the castle. This gave way to ordering attacks in the form of a whistling cannonball from above by simply dropping a signalling smoke grenade.
Generally I had a good time completing it and I don’t mind having dished out top dollar for it. It was an improvement on the previous game in many ways. The combat was better (didn’t use V.A.T.S. much) as was the writing, the speech checks, and the graphics. But it was not much of a true RPG, the dialog wheel could have been better, and I also didn’t think the world was as interesting as in Fallout 3, in spite of the vertical nature of the buildings in Boston. However, it was still a big open world that was fun to explore.

The Big Bang of Obamacare - March 27, 2017
That’s Why They’re Called “Entitlements” - March 27, 2017
Stu McPhail of the BBA Task Force has delivered a rebuttal of a seriously muddled article in The New Yorker. From Stu:
“The March 13 issue of The New Yorker carried a piece by Jelani Cobb that unfortunately included a lot of misinformation.
The story appeared under the title “Republicans and the Constitution” and also under the title “A State Away”. It was written based on the premise that current Article V efforts are being run by Republican power brokers. Wrong!
Most current efforts to use the powers given to Americans in the second option of Article V by our Founders are by grassroots everyday citizens. Most of the efforts operate with minimum financial support. And, many of these efforts are seeing bipartisan support at the state level.
While it is true that various members of Congress have introduced resolutions calling for a balanced budget amendment under the first option in Article V, the real current action is under the second option in Article V… the option of having a state-led convention to propose a balanced budget amendment.
Twenty-nine state legislatures have now adopted resolutions for such a convention. When that convention takes place the actual wording will be debated. Unlike what Mr. Cobb said, the finished proposal is sure to include a provision where under Congress can bypass restraints in times of national emergency.
The biggest line of misinformation in Mr. Cobb’s piece dealt with the origins of the 1787 Constitution under which we live today. Cobb writes that the Confederation Congress called the convention of 1787 in a resolution they adopted on February 21, 1787. That’s how he concludes that the Constitutional convention went beyond their assigned task and “literally took the law into their own hands and drafted a new document”.
But the Constitutional Convention was not held under the authority of the Articles of Confederation nor the Confederation Congress. It was held by agreement of participating states outside the Articles. Neither Congress nor the Articles controlled the proceedings, either legally or practically.
He uses that misinformation to conclude “that an Article V convention would find it difficult to limit its agenda to the technicalities of budget finance.” He buys into the long-discredited notion that an Article V convention cannot be trusted due to fear it will run away.
The convention wherein our Constitution was drafted was originally called by the state legislature of the Commonwealth of Virginia in December 1786 in response to the recommendation of the Annapolis Convention the previous September (September 14, 1786). Virginia appointed her commissioners to the convention by legislative resolution on Dec. 12. New Jersey agreed to participate at about the same time.
The Virginia call provided for the convention to propose changes in the “federal constitution” without limiting the gathering to amendments to the Articles. The unanimous authority of 18th century dictionaries tells us that “constitution” in this context meant the entire political system, not merely the Articles as such.
Pennsylvania announced on December 30 that it would participate. North Carolina and New Hampshire agreed in January. Delaware joined on February 3. Georgia joined on February 10. Thus, seven states already had agreed to participate under terms granting the convention wide powers when Congress passed its resolution on Feb. 21, 1787.
That month a Congressional committee recommended that Congress endorse the convention, saying that “in the opinion of Congress it is expedient” that the convention be limited to proposing amendments to the Articles of Confederation. It was only an expression of “opinion”, not a directive. But, as indicated above, by then seven of the 13 states had already agreed to participate in the convention as called by Virginia, and had broadly empowered their commissioners (delegates) to consider changes in the political system.
As we all know, the Confederation Congress sent the proposed new Constitution to all 13 states for their consideration, and ultimately all 13 states ratified the new document.
Efforts to bring about a state-led Article V convention to propose amendments (regardless for a balanced budget amendment or a Congressional term limits amendment) are NOT simply partisan. They can’t be. It takes 38 states to ratify any proposed amendment.
Cobb says, “an idea should have demonstrated broad and transparent appeal before it is adopted into the framework of the republic.” On that we agree. But his conclusion that “causes worthy of legitimacy” can come about through Congressional action is simply naïve. Congress will never act in a meaningful way to restrict its spending powers or to restrain its own terms.

Caffeine--How Much is in Your Favorite Drink? (Infographic)
January 17, 2018 Providence Health Team
Caffeine is known for giving you a jump start--but what can lift you up can also bring you down if you consume it in abundance. Too much caffeine in the evening can disrupt sleep, and too much caffeine, period, can lead to a dependency that can trigger nervousness, headaches and other health problems. It doesn't mean you have to give up your favorite caffeinated beverage entirely--a safe daily range for caffeine intake is generally considered to be 250 to 400 milligrams--but instead be mindful of what you're drinking.
Because of caffeine's potentially harmful effects on children, the American Academy of Pediatrics says that kids should not consume energy drinks and that they should generally avoid all caffeinated beverages, including soda. Adolescents ages 12 to 18 should consume no more than 100 mg of caffeine each day--roughly the amount found in one 8-ounce cup of coffee.
Use this as a guide for the caffeine totals in your favorite drinks.

2021 Trends for the Future of Work and Human Resources
in Whole Brain Thinking, Diversity and Inclusion, Workplace Diversity, Remote Work
by Herrmann International
As we’ve learned in 2020, there are some things you simply can’t predict about the year ahead from the vantage point of the present.
After all, how many of us had a pandemic-induced lockdown and acceleration of remote work adoption on our “trends to watch” lists at the end of 2019? But the major upheavals of this year also give us a pretty good hint at some of what we can expect for the future of work and human resources in 2021.
When it comes to the broad field of Human Resources, everything from complexities related to COVID-19 safety and vaccination policies to potential changes in compliance and regulatory priorities from a new US presidential administration will be in the spotlight.

Diversity Disclosure Reports & the SEC: Changes for Diversity and Inclusion
in News, Whole Brain Thinking, Diversity and Inclusion, Cognitive diversity
Companies like to say people are their most important asset. A new mandate from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) puts that old axiom into sharp focus.
The human capital disclosure rule, which went into effect on Nov. 9, 2020, and is part of the SEC’s broader project to modernize Regulation S-K, requires publicly traded companies to disclose specific information about their human capital resources and any measures or objectives the company focuses on in managing the business — such as those that address the attraction, development, engagement and retention of employees.
Ways to Support Diversity and Inclusion for Remote Teams
in Company News, Whole Brain Thinking, Diversity and Inclusion
At our core, we are a diversity company. Our specific focus at Herrmann is on cognitive diversity, but ultimately, our technology and tools are about helping people value and leverage diversity and create more inclusive organizations. This is what we do for clients, and it’s something we’re continually working on internally as a fully remote team ourselves.
Over the last six months or so, we’ve had some candid and eye-opening discussions as a team about diversity in all its dimensions and what it means to be equitable and inclusive, both at an individual level and as an organization.
We’ve seen firsthand how powerful it is when you give people a safe space for these sometimes difficult but necessary conversations and the opportunity to expand their worldview.

by Karim Morgan Nehdi
Momentum for action on racial equity has continued to build around the world, and we like many others have spent the past few weeks in an ongoing discussion on what else we can do to help contribute to positive change. It remains remarkably difficult for organizations to have uncomfortable conversations about racial bias, so as a first step we’re spreading awareness of how cognitive diversity can be used as a powerful device to break down the walls in these conversations.
Why Workplace Diversity as a Hiring Strategy Isn't Enough
in Diversity of Thought, Diversity and Inclusion, Workplace Diversity
Silicon Valley’s “diversity problem” has been getting a lot of attention for years, with articles digging into the lack of inclusive culture among of the technology industry and the growing pressure for change in the industry. There are even dynamic charts that track the diversity of the workforce and leadership in tech companies so you can stay up-to-date on where they are and how they compare. It's not just the technology industry that could stand for an overhaul of DEI policies, though.

Cognitive Diversity (or Diversity of Thought): It's Not What You Think
in Diversity of Thought, Diversity and Inclusion, Cognitive diversity
Over the past few years, more and more corporate leaders and consultants have been talking about a “new” kind of workplace diversity: cognitive diversity, which can also be referred to as diversity of thought.
All the attention it’s getting is something of a double-edged sword, though. On the one hand, it’s great that so many people are beginning to see that cognitive diversity plays an important role in a business’s success.
But on the other, the term itself is getting thrown around so much—often in very general or superficial ways—that it risks becoming just another piece of meaningless jargon.
Cognitive diversity isn’t just new packaging on an old idea about the dangers of surrounding yourself with “yes men.” It’s also not just another way of saying that if you let conflicting ideas and perspectives rub up against each other for a long enough time, eventually something positive will come from it.

The #RedSox, Along with Four Other Teams, Reportedly Have Strong Interest in Acquiring Mariners All-Star Closer Edwin Diaz.
On Tuesday night, the New York Post’s Joel Sherman reported that the Boston Red Sox were one of five teams interested in acquiring the services of Mariners closer and 2018 American League Reliever of the Year Edwin Diaz.
https://t.co/J2WdkYr3I5 the #Mariners are “motivated” to move Cano, enough that they are thinking of attaching Diaz in some scenarios. Most interested so far in Diaz: #Mets #Yankees #Phillies #Braves #Redsox. At bottom, Atl gambling that Sept was the real Donaldson/McCann.
— Joel Sherman (@Joelsherman1) November 28, 2018
In his report, Sherman states that outside of Boston, other players for Diaz include the New York Mets, New York Yankees, Atlanta Braves, and Philadelphia Phillies.
Given the fact that the Mariners dealt their ace, James Paxton, to the Yankees earlier in the month, it does appear as though Seattle GM Jerry Dipoto’s club is heading towards a retooling period beginning in 2019.
With that in mind, parting ways with the best closer in the American League West in exchange for a haul of prospects makes sense.
At just 24 years old, not only is Diaz coming off an elite season in which he recorded 57 saves and posted a K/9 of 15.2, he also has four more years of team control left before hitting free agency in 2022.
The Red Sox certainly do not have the farm system to produce the prospects the Mariners would be seeking in this potential deal, but if the club’s interest is that strong, there may be a way to get it done, albeit at a hefty price.
“Seattle is willing to consider less if a team takes on [Robinson] Cano, who is 36 and served an 80-game suspension last year for testing positive for a banned substance,” Sherman reports.
An eight-time All-Star, Cano inked a 10-year, $240 million deal with the Mariners prior to the start of the 2014 season, meaning there is still five years and $120 million remaining on his contract.
With the Red Sox 2019 payroll already looking like it’s going to be one of the more expensive in baseball once again, it’s hard to imagine a scenario where President of Baseball Operations Dave Dombrowski, or even principal owner John Henry, would be willing to take that much money on, especially when the team still owes second baseman Dustin Pedroia $40 million over the next three years.
Similar to how Dombrowski acquired another elite closer and current free agent in Craig Kimbrel from the San Diego Padres with three-years remaining on his previous contract, landing Diaz for at least his age 25 to 28 seasons would be something.
But, barring a way the Red Sox find a position for Cano to play on a regular basis, I don’t believe the club has the prospects to offer that the Yankees, Phillies, or Braves have in order to get a deal done.
Regardless of that though, Diaz would be a fantastic addition to the end of a bullpen that had their struggles throughout the 2018 season. Winter Meetings begin on December 9th in Las Vegas, so maybe talks will materialize there.

One thought on “The #RedSox, Along with Four Other Teams, Reportedly Have Strong Interest in Acquiring Mariners All-Star Closer Edwin Diaz.”
joesilveira says:
the Cano baggage is not worth it for Diaz. Cano’s contract is an absolute albatross, and the Red Sox need to worry about re-signing Bogaerts, not being burdened by Cano’s massive contract. Because like you said, the Sox’s do not have the prospects alone to get Diaz. This deal has the Mets written all over it, and I hope Brodie enjoys his stay in NY if this disaster goes through.

By Caleb Groos on October 22, 2009 1:00 PM
In August, a federal appeals court ordered California to come up with a plan to reduce its prison population. California submitted a plan that came nowhere near the level of reduction ordered by the court. Now that court has ordered California to come up with a satisfactory plan, or the feds will come in and do it themselves.
As previously discussed, in August, a panel of federal judges ordered California to come up with a plan to reduce prison population to a mere 137% of the capacity for which its prisons are designed, within 2 years.
California prisons currently confine an estimated 150,000 inmates, which is 188% design capacity. With current facilities, this means a reduction of over 40,000 prisoners is required.
Why must California trim its prison ranks? Because the court found overcrowding to be the primary cause of prison medical and mental health care so bad that it was found to violate the Constitution's ban on cruel and unusual punishment. The court also found that overcrowding created criminogenic effects in California prisons (meaning the prisons actually produce more crime).
After California's legislature got involved, the plan submitted by the state to the feds fell far short of what had been ordered.
Yesterday, the court ordered California back to the drawing board. It did not begin contempt proceeding for defying its previous order, but the court gave the state 21 days to craft a plan that cuts prison population by over 40,000 in two years, or risk the feds doing it for California.
Additionally, the court demanded that California:
Continuously notify the court of any effect that 2009 budget cuts will have on prison medical or mental health services or prison population levels;
Explain how it will ensure public safety through reentry and diversionary programs designed to trim the prison population; and
Provide the details of the plan which Governor Schwarzenegger initially submitted to California's legislature (which would reportedly have gone further in reforming prison conditions).
If California doesn't submit a satisfactory plan within 21 days? It gets another 14 days to do so, or "the court will be left with no alternative but to develop a plan independently and order it implemented forthwith."
Governor Schwarzenegger says California will continue its appeal to the Supreme Court.
Here is the court's order:

And your mind, your mind Is so full of red. You better find somebody to love. Were the guidelines of propriety invented by man or laid down by higher powers to segregate and set men against each other if conformity was challenged? Rajalakshmi, the mother, is kept company in her old age by her sister-in-law who is also a widow, and Behari, a very close friend of Mahendra is also a part of the family circle. The story begins with an episode where both Mahendra and Behari turn down a marriage proposal from a certain Binodini without as much as a glance at her photograph, unknowing then, of how her life would get entangled with their own in the near future.

And your mind, your mind Is so full of red. You better find somebody to love. Were the guidelines of propriety invented by man or laid down by higher powers to segregate and set men against each other if conformity was challenged? Rajalakshmi, the mother, is kept company in her old age by her sister-in-law who is also a widow, and Behari, a very close friend of Mahendra is also a part of the family circle.
The story begins with an episode where both Mahendra and Behari turn down a marriage proposal from a certain Binodini without as much as a glance at her photograph, unknowing then, of how her life would get entangled with their own in the near future.
Rajalakshmi frets, but is soon mollified when her subsequent efforts bear fruition and a marriage is arranged between the teenaged Asha and Mahendra. In the early days of connubial bliss, the young couple stay cooped up in bed and this consummation of early love causes Mahendra to miss classes at the University where he is training to become a doctor. As in D. After her sojourn, she returns with Binodini, who has since been married and widowed, in tow. They strike up a friendship which is based on mutual understanding and a sense of shared fate which has placed them in the same boat as widowed women braving the storm of social stigma, albeit their differences in age.
Being born a woman in a hypocritical society that held on to such regressive thought was indeed tough luck. Women were expected to jump into the funeral pyre of their husbands, which would be lighted with sandalwood so that after the flames would consume their flesh, their souls would arise in a fragrant plume of dust and be blown by the wind towards the heavens in obeisance to will of the gods.
Whereas if a man were to lose his wife, the selfsame deities would be glad to open the gates of heaven to the solitary female traveler whose other half would be left back in the realm of the living. What sort of divine logic was that? Even after its abolition, widows were still considered pariah, and would live in isolation and penury till the end of their days since their worldly worth had been eroded irreversibly by fate.
Binodini was a beautiful and educated woman and her rapport with Rajalakshmi gradually endeared her to the rest of the household with her witticisms and austerity.
Being not far apart in age, she develops a close bond with Asha, who gives her the nickname, Chokher Bali. By this time, Mahendra, who is by nature a pretentious youth who writes poetry in English, the language of the colonial masters and dresses in the latest Western fashions, wearies of his wife, because in spite of her beauty, she fails to arouse in him an enduring passion on account of her being an uneducated simpleton with whom he cannot share his feelings.
There was also a superstition in those times that an educated woman was bound to become a widow, and so Asha was contended to play her part in the charade of life. In one incident, a letter containing a love poem in English dedicated to Asha falls into the hands of the mother, who makes Binodini read it out to her. She, in turn is perplexed by the language used and takes it to the Catholic nun who had schooled her in her youth. But things get complicated when, on a picnic, Mahendra shifts his attentions to Bali, who is taken up with Behari and his talk of the nationalist movement of which he was a part.
In the love triangle that ensues, Behari who claims to have taken an oath of bachelorhood in return for Independence of the country, in spite of temptation, gracefully wards off the playful advances of Bali.
But they strike up a camaraderie which is resented by Mahendra, which brings about a new found frigidity in their friendship. Mahendra, whose moods had grown darker on having to resist the temptation of having the object of his desire dangling before his eyes, succumbs to temptation and Bali, being dependent on the good graces and hospitality of her host, capitulates to his embraces. Is adultery a sin? She convinces herself that if one confesses wrongdoing to god, the sin ceases to stain the conscience, as her Catholic tutor had once taught her.
But was she a widow by choice? In addition to the three mastheads that had formed her identity as a widow, a young woman, and one in financially dire straits, her experiences with Mahendra disturbed the tripartite disharmony of her life, and she discovered deep within her, pleasures of the flesh.
In spite of the affair, Behari was also in her thoughts and she held him in high regard for his uprightness and patriotic zeal. The sanctity of the marriage bond has been questioned often enough but in those days, the very thought of such indiscretion would warrant ostracization. Ultimately, they are discovered and Bali is exiled to her village amid much scandal and bad blood, and Asha in her grief goes on a pilgrimage to the holy city of Kashi.
What sets Tagore apart from his Western contemporaries, for better or worse, is his use of mysticism and religious ethos, to define the way his protagonists think and act. While this book asks all the right questions, the answers, however, are hard to come by. The treatment accorded to widows was deplorable but the moralist will ask whether misfortune entails one to betray the trust of a friend by taking up with her husband out of sexual depravity even if he wants it as much as you do.
Tagore weaves the character of Bali masterfully with multiple brush strokes and presents her circumstances, both, as a product of the culmination of the social ills of the day as well as her own weakness. It is impossible to judge in matters of the heart, but does one smudged line blot the bigger picture? Even though he indulges in exposition of religious hypocrisy and superstition, the author imposes in its stead a line of ambivalent moral questioning and casuistry which could have been avoided.
One issue I have with the book is the shoddy translation. Sentences end abruptly and the dialogues are rather blunt. Tagore died before independence but his contribution to the freedom movement lives on and likewise, his fictional prophecy regarding partition proved to be correct. Independence was celebrated with much fanfare but the invisible hand from London that had cut apart and lacerated the limbs of the subcontinent had left in its wake suppurating sores that took long to heal.
The Western border probably was the worst affected by this dictum. Bengal was not spared either and amidst all the chaos of partition, it is into this newfangled country with the promise of a new destiny, that Tagore saw fit to send his heroine in her quest to escape from the tentacles of fate that had brought her nothing but ruin.

Rabindranath Tagore's Norm-Defying Novel, Chokher Bali
Tagore originally wrote in his regional Language Bengali. Later his works have been translated into English by himself and by other translators also. The title of the novel Chokher Bali explains the story line : Two young friends Binodini and Asha gradually become the irritant of each others eyes. The writer skillfully depicts the story of sorrows and unhappiness, desires and hurt ego resulting into emotional conflict, jealousy, deceit and distrust; creating a havoc in the life of all major characters. Portrayal of the protagonist Binodini is done by Tagore in a most accurate and realistic manner. The story is set in late 19th century. Tagore tells a compelling story of entangled relationships and probes deep into the psyche of main character Binodini.

New Identity Card for Sabahan is necessary, according to a study
By Borneo Echo Team May 14, 2020 Jun 29, 2020
Leave a Comment on New Identity Card for Sabahan is necessary, according to a study
Kota Kinabalu (Fri): A recent IDS online poll reveals that majority respondents are in favour of having a special new identity card specifically for Sabahan.
The poll which received an overwhelming response from the general public in Sabah indicated that 92 per cent of respondents agreed that the Sabah State Government should proceed with the initiative to introduce the new Sabah-specific identity card.
“Most of the respondents (82%) highly believed that a new Sabah-specific identity card can help reduce the presence of illegal immigrants (PATI) in Sabah,” said IDS Executive Director, Anthony Kiob in a statement today.
“As generally known, Sabah has been facing the problem of the flooding of illegal immigrants in the state for ages, and the matter seems never settled,” said Anthony.
Anthony said statistic showed that almost one-third of the people living in Sabah are foreigners and out of this only 30% are legalised while the majority are illegal immigrants.
“It is not exaggerating to say that, Sabah has the highest number of illegal immigrants in Malaysia and this situation is indeed very alarming,” he said.
Anthony elaborated from the total of 3.9 million populations in Sabah, 1.2 million are foreigners.
“Tawau recorded the highest number of foreigners at 180,000, followed by Sandakan and Kota Kinabalu,” he said.
“The large inflow of PATI in Sabah could be due to the existence of syndicates suspected of smuggling foreigners in to work in oil palm plantations, and some PATI being protected by locals who used them for cheap labour,” said Anthony.
“What is worrying, some PATI have managed to obtain identify cards, either fake or genuine from syndicates over the years.
“The sovereignty and rights of the people of Sabah have been violated by foreigners and posed a social threat that include safety, health, political and many others to the locals,” said Anthony.
He said the concern for Sabah’s sovereignty and security has long been voiced by Sabah leaders and people.
“The presence of the PATI has been taken advantage of by certain parties and authorities in the country so that they can easily obtain their identity cards and become citizens briefly for an agenda only known to them,” said Anthony.
Anthony highlighted the proposal to introduce New Sabah-Specific Identity Cards for genuine Sabahans was one of the recommendations in a report completed in 2014 by the Royal Commission of Inquiry on the issue of illegal immigrants in Sabah.
“In fact, the report has confirmed the existence of the infamous Project IC, whereby thousands of PATI were granted citizenship systematically in the 1980s and 1990s, effectively changing the State’s demographics,” said Anthony.
He further stated that the issuance of the Sabah ICs is also part of the Warisan party’s core agenda, and a proposal on Sabah Card was submitted to the State government in 2018.
“The constant calls for a Sabah IC reflect broad distrust among Sabahans on the Federal government’s approach to the State’s illegal immigrant problem and are shaped by Sabahans’ ongoing concern with issues of the state’s autonomy,” said Anthony.
“It is not just a matter of the Federal Government agreeing to allow Sabah to have a Sabah-Specific IC, but also allowing the Sabah State Government to use its own Sabah-controlled machinery to produce the new ICs using state-based infrastructure as well as issuing and circulating them as an exercise of state autonomy.
“This is legally stipulated under the Ninth Schedule’s State List, which authorizes Sabah’s control over the “Machinery of the State Government,” including “Exclusive State services.”
Nevertheless, Anthony took note that such initiative may draw different views and opinions among the people of Sabah.
“The state government has learned a good lesson from the previous attempt to implement the Sabah Temporary Pass (PSS), which was objected by majority Sabahan,” said Anthony.
“A strong political will and coordinated efforts are vital to achieve the objectives of the Sabah-specific identity card’s initiative,” Anthony said.
Anthony highlighted some of the pros of having a Sabah-specific IC which include resolving the longstanding illegal immigrants’ issue in Sabah; better monitoring of foreign workers and illegal immigrants; safeguarding the sovereignty of the State and the rights of the Sabahans; safeguarding Sabahan’s rights on land ownership, scholarships, business permits and licenses, job applications in public sectors, social welfare benefits, etc: helping in screening, reducing, and solving forgeries and fraudulent documentation issues; ensuring only genuine Malaysians in Sabah exercise their rights to vote during elections; and resolving the citizenship and documentation problems among the various ethnics group in Sabah.
“While we celebrate the pros of having Sabah-specific IC, we must also recognise the cons of having such IC, which include forgery and fraud. It is therefore crucial for the government to have a strict mechanism of ID card issuance in place,” he said.
Besides this, the implementation of a new Sabah IC would require the state government to allocate a substantial cost, reorganisation of the government machinery, and a great deal of time, Anthony said.
“Another challenge is to reach out to communities living in remote and inaccessible areas in Sabah. Most may not have birth certificates or MyKads and therefore special criteria must be set out before any implementation is carried out to authenticate these communities,” he said.
“A coordinated and well-planned mechanism must be in placed to help solve the decades long concerned of the communities in Sabah regarding the increasing number of illegal immigrants in the state.
“This is imperative as it would help outweigh the cons of this initiative, which in a long run will help to solve the prolonged problem as a whole,” said Anthony.

Comm. Airmen ensure mission never stops
Airman 1st Class Benjamin Gonsier
2nd Bomb Wing Public Affairs
BARKSDALE AIR FORCE BASE — For base leadership, information technology errors and malfunctions may have dire effects on the mission.
When a senior leader has issues with their technology, Airmen from the 2nd Communications Squadron executive communications flight are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week to repair and troubleshoot any faulty IT.
“We are a small hand-picked flight, chosen to assist the senior leaders with their information technology needs,” said Staff Sgt. Stepheno Pomerlee, 2nd CS exec. comm. “Our senior leaders do not have the time to submit a ticket. If one of our senior leaders or their staff has an issue, it needs to be resolved right away.”
Exec. comm. Airmen are chosen by their leadership and are interviewed for the job.
“These Airmen may have to brief a 2-star general at any moment, so they need to know their job well,” Pomerlee said. “They cannot be nervous and must be confident, which is why we have an interview process.”
Exec. comm. has 11 assigned Airmen, including deployed Airmen, and supports laptops, tablets, phones, desktop computer malfunctions and e-mail issues for more than 170 senior leaders and their staff, from Air Force Global Strike Command, 8th Air Force and the 2nd and 307th Bomb Wing.
“We have exec. comm. on our speed dial just in case anything goes down,” said Maj. Jon Lee, 2nd BW executive officer to the commander. “They immediately spring into action to give us the answers to any questions we or our commanders might have.”
With IT a part of commanders’ daily lives, information loss from e-mails and other IT can impact Barksdale’s mission. Exec. comm. works with commanders’ executive officers to limit a malfunction’s mission impact.
When the commanders have any problems related to IT, they tell their executive officers who will work with exec. comm. to fix it. Those issues range from Non-classified Internet Protocol Router Network and Secret Internet Protocol Router Network access to Microsoft Outlook and other computer program malfunctions.
“The commander needs to receive as much information as possible,” Lee said. “We receive information from different electronic media, and it impacts the mission if any malfunction.”
Other than senior leaders stationed here, certain distinguished visitors also receive exec. comm. support.
“If they plan on using IT during their visit, we take all of the necessary precautions to ensure they have no issues,” Pomerlee said. “This includes going to their lodging before they visit to verify their SIPRNet, SIPR phones and commercial wireless connection are working.”
Exec. comm. exists because not many bases have the amount of traffic Barksdale does, Pomerlee added.
“It’s very unrealistic to put in a trouble ticket for the myriad of IT problems that may pop up,” Lee said. “With the constant flow of information and the decisions that need to be made, exec. comm. ensures our commanders receive critical information and decisions are made on time.”

Why Tupperware Brands, SBA Communications, and American Airlines Group Slumped Today
Tuesday was another good day on Wall Street, thanks largely to diminished concerns about trade disputes between the U.S. and China. Chinese leaders made conciliatory comments that suggested that there could be a measured resolution to tensions between the two countries, and market participants took that as an all-clear sign to bid shares higher. Yet some stocks suffered from negative news. Tupperware Brands (NYSE: TUP), SBA Communications (NASDAQ: SBAC), and American Airlines Group (NASDAQ: AAL) were among the worst performers on the day. Here’s why they did so poorly.
Tupperware cuts its guidance
Shares of Tupperware Brands dropped 11.5% after the company announced an update to its guidance for the first quarter. The maker of food storage containers and other kitchen items said that it believes its revenue dropped 2% from the year-ago quarter, which is well below the 1% gain that Tupperware had seen as the low end of the range it had previously expected. The company also cut earnings guidance by $0.14 per share to a new range of $0.87 to $0.92 per share. A larger-than-expected impact from tax reform played a small role, but Tupperware also faced challenges across the globe, with a variety of execution issues hurting sales. CEO Rick Goings said that he has “confidence in how our business will perform going forward,” but shareholders seem less comfortable with that optimistic assessment.
Two people in front of table with roughly 2 dozen Tupperware containers.
SBA fears telecom tie-ups
SBA Communications stock fell 5% as investors assessed the potential impact of consolidation in the telecom industry on the company’s wireless tower assets. News that the No. 3 and No. 4 wireless carriers in the U.S. market could join forces through a merger hit shares of SBA and its peers hard, because fewer wireless companies would mean less competition for space on cellular towers that in turn could reduce the amount of leasing income that SBA and other tower owners are able to collect. After having expected better times due to rising capital expenditures, SBA shareholders are now concerned once again that the company could suffer if the wireless carriers finally get their act together this time and get a deal done.
American Airlines flies a bit lower
Finally, shares of American Airlines Group declined 5%. Conflicting forces rocked the airline, as the stock initially responded positively to a new corporate outlook but then turned downward as oil prices spiked. Crude climbed more than $2 per barrel to go above the $65 mark, raising fears that tailwinds from relatively low fuel costs could go away in the near future. Yet the airline’s investor update included a boost to revenue per available seat mile growth to a new range of 3% to 4% for the quarter, even as it invested in its long-term growth with a big new aircraft order. Investors will have to see how things shake out when American reports final results later this month.

Protecting Cape York’s Endangered Species
With an early bushfire season in full swing across the country, heat waves on the way, and the memory of last year’s record - breaking high temperatures, wild fires are on the mind of Cape York NRM’s Fire and Biodiversity team.
Focusing on endangered littoral rainforest and coastal vine thickets, ant plants and cassowaries, the team is working with the CSIRO, Traditional Owners and land managers to protect these species from a range of threats including out of control wild fires.
Biodiversity and Fire Manager Kerri Woodcock said developing managed, ecologically sensitive and lower emissions burning practices plays a key role in protecting threatened species and plant communities,
‘We recognise the key role cultural and savanna burning plays in protecting threatened species. These practices result in cool burns, reduce fuel loads and maintain ground cover and vegetation, all of which works to prevent wild fires and protect threatened species habitat.
As a result, the project team is working to establish the North Queensland Indigenous Fire Practitioners Network to promote, support and practice cultural burning in the region.
‘The Network will support and promote cultural and savanna burning in Cape York which in turn will reduce the risk of wildfires in the region,’ Kerri said.
‘The Network will play an integral role in managing the landscapes in which Cape York’s threatened species exist.’
Along with getting the Network up and running, 2019/20 will see the project team facilitate on - country surveys in remote central and northern Cape York communities. The surveys will be conducted by CSIRO and Traditional Owners so traditional and scientific knowledge inform management into the future.
Kerri said the surveys would take place in north east cassowary country and south east littoral rainforest and coastal vine thickets.
‘The project team will be heading out with Traditional Owners, and CSIRO botanists and species experts, to map key sites and identify what needs to be done to enable these threatened plants and animals to thrive.
‘This work is supported by Indigenous fire practitioners who help manage the landscape to protect these threatened species and ecological communities. Setting up the Network will provide much needed support for this critically important element of land management.
‘By combining local knowledge with science and mapping technology and better managing wildfires, we are in a good position to put plans in place in partnership with local land holders to protect cassowaries, ant plants and littoral rainforest and coastal vine thickets into the future.’
This project is supported by Cape York NRM, through funding from the Australian Government’s National Landcare Program

The Effects of pH on the Distribution of the Mink Frog (Lithobates septentrionalis)
Abstract: Amphibian decline is occurring at an alarming rate. The acidification of aquatic systems is contributing to the decline, affecting habitat viability which affects dispersal, breeding success and the mortality of young. Tolerances to the acidic conditions vary amongst species, but are not known for all amphibians. The mink frog (Lithobates septentrionalis) has scattered dispersals throughout the regions in which they are found. The goal of this study was to observe possible effects of pH on the distribution of the mink frog, which is native to the Adirondack Park. A call survey was completed in 40 Adirondack water systems to determine dispersal. The pH of the lakes in which the call survey was conducted were also recorded. This study documents the relationship between pH and distribution of the mink frog along with the variations between the lacustrine and deep water pH values for each water system. The mink frog was not found in lakes with pH <6.5. Evidence also showed that the pH between deep water and lacustrine regions had varying differences that may prove to be significant in regards to studying some species. It is recommended that lacustrine data be examined along with limnologic deep water data when studying lacustrine dwelling species.

Developing A Wildlife Teaching Collection
Abstract: Wildlife specimens hold significant scientific and educational value at Paul Smith’s College through the preservation of essential biological information. Specimens allow for the better understanding of the past and present conditions of a species, and are a valuable teaching tool for all-inclusive wildlife education. However important, it is apparent that the accumulation of wildlife specimens is insufficient due to a lack of education surrounding the preservation of specimens and methods pertaining to the development of a specimen collection. In response, the procedural framework surrounding standard specimen preparation practices was analyzed and adjusted in order meet the specific needs of the institution. A comprehensive procedural manual was created with the intention of making specimen preparation a more approachable task for interested students, as well as to ensure continual growth of the wildlife teaching collection at Paul Smith’s College.

A Comparison of Fall and Spring Minnow (Cyprinidae) Surveys to Assess Overwinter Changes in Community Composition in a Marshland of the Northern Adirondacks, NY
Abstract: Minnows are an integral component of a healthy aquatic ecosystem. However, minnows are very sensitive to habitat destruction and loss, changes in water quality, and over predation. As a result of its integral role, an unhealthy, or absent minnow population can wreak havoc on an ecosystem. The objectives are to compare minnow species richness and composition between spring and fall surveys for different regions in the marsh, compare minnow trap catch rates between fall and spring for each minnow species for different regions of the marsh, compare mean length of minnow species between fall and spring, and compare water temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH, and conductivity in the fall with that of late winter and post ice-out. The study location was Heron Marsh of New York’s Adirondack Park, which supports of variety of fish in the cyprinidae family. Water quality was collected using a YSI meter in all 4 seasons of the year, and minnows were sampled using galvanized steel minnow traps during the fall and spring. Nearly all sites saw an increase in cyprinid biodiversity and abundance. Long term monitoring should be established for more robust data that can in turn justify more solid conclusions.

Living Machine ® Wastewater Treatment in Sólheimar
Abstract: As of 2014, Sólheimar Ecovillage in South Iceland began to experience inadequate sewage treatment. After a large earthquake, the community’s constructed wetland became damaged, freely expelling untreated wastewater into the surrounding watershed. After research, the Living Machine® system became the evident solution to help mitigate this issue. By using a case study of a Living Machine® system in South Burlington, Vermont, I was able to determine output estimates of individuals by gallons per day (GPD) and approximate a price for a Living Machine® with a greenhouse at $1,019, 694 USD. Different approaches Sólheimar could take to help make this project successful would be installing a flowmeter, applying for different grants, charging tourists to use the restrooms, and contacting the engineering company to discuss the current and future piping system in the village.

Assessment of Tree Planting Riparian Management along the Ausable and Boquet Rivers in New York State
Abstract: Ecological restoration is, in part, restoring degraded ecosystems. By adding riparian vegetation along degraded reaches of rivers and streams, ecologists can begin to restore the natural habitat and processes associated with that river or stream. Trees, shrubs and grasses can be very important in retaining stream bank soils, providing shade in the river and habitat for terrestrial species. Two programs called Trees for Tribs and Ausable River Association (AsRA), restore degraded riparian areas in the state of New York, including the Ausable and Bouquet Rivers in the Adirondack State Park. This study compared survival rates of the plantings in nine different locations along the Ausable River and one location along the Boquet River. The tree species, living status (survivorship), and stem density of the understory was recorded. The four AsRA planting sites and one U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service site planted saplings ranging from 6-8 feet in height, and the Trees for Tribs planted seedlings at the other five sites. It was found that there was no significant difference between the survival rates of the saplings in comparison to the survival rates of the seedlings (p-value = 0.37). In addition, there was no significant difference (p-value = 0.05) in the stem density measurements between sapling and seedling plots. It was also observed that records of tree plantings were either missing, incomplete or inaccurate from both Ausable River Association and Trees for Tribs.

Monitoring the Zebra Mussel Invasion Front: Use of New Technology
Abstract: Zebra mussels are invasive mollusks that are affecting the well-being of the water bodies in the United States. This study uses environmental DNA (eDNA) is a sensitive early detection system that may be useful in monitoring their spread. The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of eDNA technology in identifying infested water bodies, to determine if zebra mussel DNA is in the Adirondack water bodies not known to be infested, if the water chemistry of these water bodies is favorable for zebra mussel establishment, and if the eDNA technology is transferable to an institution like Paul Smith’s College. Eighteen lakes, all in New York State were sampled, fifteen of which are located in the Adirondack Park. DNA was extracted from water and plankton samples and species specific primers were used for PCR amplification to determine if zebra mussel DNA was present. Of seven samples taken from sites known to be infested, five of these tested positive for zebra mussel eDNA. Four lakes not known to be infested within the Park also tested positive for zebra mussel eDNA. Based on zebra mussel risk parameters (water chemistry) applied to 1,469 Adirondack water bodies, less than 3% are at risk of zebra mussel establishment. However it is possible that established populations could occur at microsites that may have locally high levels of calcium and higher pH.

Accommodation for the Deaf culture in hotels and recreational facilities
Abstract: Hotels and recreational facilities do not always have adequate accommodations, to help the Deaf culture communicate with the hearing world and take advantage of special services. Hotels and recreational facilities are improving their accommodation but more can be done to meet the needs for this demographic. This study will research what services are already available for the Deaf culture in hotels and recreational facilities. The outcome will determine what the Deaf culture prefers in accommodations, what hotels and recreation facilities offer, and new accommodations. This will help not only the Deaf culture, but everyone by breaking the language barrier between hearing and Deaf. The Deaf culture can benefit by utilizing new technology to have a more enjoyable experience at hotels and recreational facilities.

Promoting Conservation of Biodiversity in the Adirondack Park Through Understanding and Engaging Stakeholders
Abstract: Anthropogenic disturbance of natural environments has led to the widespread loss of native biodiversity and degradation of ecosystems. It is increasingly recognized that addressing this “biodiversity crisis” entails understanding the societal drivers of unsustainable patterns of use. Conservation psychology is a new discipline that specifically focuses on understanding the linkages between human behavior and action and promoting a healthy and sustainable relationship between humans and nature. In this project, we employed principles of conservation psychology with the goal of improving the efficacy and efficiency of conservation of biodiversity in the Adirondack Park (AP). To meet this goal we employed three specific strategies. The first of these strategies was the use of surveys to assess the values, attitudes, and actions different stakeholders have in regards to conservation of biodiversity in the AP. These surveys were disseminated via both direct mailings and online, and included 30 questions. Our second strategy was to use discourse analysis to create a dictionary of terms and phrases employed in a positive, neutral, and negative light in regard to conservation of biodiversity. This entailed analysis of 30 emic accounts derived from opinion articles written by stakeholders in the AP, as well as analysis of a number of etic accounts drawn from online sources. Our third strategy was to use conservation psychology literature to assess ways in which the presentation of information and peer-dynamics influenced the responses of stakeholders towards conservation of biodiversity. Using the combination of these three strategies, we were able to provide a holistic understanding of how different stakeholders in the AP perceive and act towards biodiversity conservation; identify language that can be used to illicit a more positive response from these stakeholders; and identify specific tools based on principles of psychology that can encourage more active and effective engagement in conservation of biodiversity by different stakeholders. Our research findings will allow groups focusing on promoting conservation of biodiversity in the AP to be more effective and efficient in their work in the future.

Refining Karner blue butterfly (Lycaeides melissa samuelis) restoration efforts by comparing captive rearing and release methods used in the Albany Pine Bush
Abstract: With this research, the release efforts of the endangered Karner blue butterfly (Lycaeides melissa samuelis) of the Albany Pine Bush (APB) in New York State at two different stages of the butterfly’s life cycle were compared. Survival success rates were determined and environmental factors were measured to assess captive rearing methods and improve restoration efforts in the APB Preserve. Captive rearing efforts have been used in the past in this area, releasing Karner blue butterfly pupae into the wild; however, this year in 2011, pupae were allowed to eclose from their chrysalides in the lab and were released into the wild as adult butterflies. The analysis of the information gathered showed that the release of Karner blue butterflies in the adult stage offered a greater survival rate over release in the pupal stage. The average daily maximum temperatures increased each year during the summers of 2009-2011. Information from this research is important to help prevent the extirpation of this species from the Albany Pine Bush Recovery Unit and may be helpful to organizations such as the US Fish and Wildlife Services and the Nature Conservancy.

Christian Growth Retreats as a Vehicle for Establishing Sustainable Spiritual Practice
Abstract: Abstract The goal of this project was to determine if the four basic Christian practices – prayer, fellowship, meditation, and scripture reading – are useful for providing a foundation for a sustainable spiritual enrichment and growth. This project took phenomenological approach in determining the results and findings from the data collected. A questionnaire was given to each participant to complete at the end of a one day retreat to record their impressions, experiences, and perceptions of the four practices. Also, a survey was conducted at two mainline denominational churches to compare results with the retreat participant group. The results of the research show that the majority of the participants do engage the four spiritual practices on ongoing bases. The themes that emerged from the four practices show how the practices are perceived as an enriching experience that supports spiritual growth.

Hoover Case, of Marshfield, MO had a strong influence in both real estate and auctioneering, first from his dad and later his wife and current partner and Broker, Susan Case.
Hoover has dedicated most of his life to auctioneering purebred cattle and helping youth in agriculture. In 1966, 16-year-old Hoover Case stepped into the sale ring with his Charolais heifer at the American Royal Charolais Sale. Case remembers, “George Morse was the auctioneer on the block. I listened to him and decided that was what I wanted to do.”
Hoover grew up in Marshfield, MO on a small family farm where he first developed an interest in cattle and horses. In high school Hoover took an interest in FFA and joined the Marshfield FFA. During his years as an FFA member, Hoover competed on a variety of teams at the area, district and state levels.
After high school, Hoover attended Northeastern Oklahoma A&M College for two years. He then completed his degree in Animal Science at Missouri State University, in 1972. His first job out of college was sorting and penning cattle as the Springfield Stockyards. Throughout his college career Case kept his sights on the auction block by assisting his father, Willis Case, who had been in the auction business since 1939. The auction block was still in the forefront of Case’s mind, but he realized that in “Southwest Missouri that is a tough nut to crack.” He soon found that a good way to get into the business was working sales for various livestock publications as a “substitute” ring man when the fieldman for the publication needed help to cover other sales on the same day. This opportunity led him in launching the Ozark Farmer magazine in September 1980. To give back to the purebred world and to youth, Hoover helped develop “Brangus for Kids”, in 1990, a mentoring program that connected youth with potential show animals from Brangus breeders in the State of Missouri.
For the last 36 years, Hoover has been heavily involved with Santa Gertrudis, Beefmaster-Brangus, Simbrah and other “Eared” breeds, auctioneering purebred sales from Texas to Florida. Highlights of his career include selling the King Ranch 150th Anniversary sale in 2003, as well as continuing to his passion of selling registered livestock around the country, even after a devastating onset of bacterial meningitis left him paralyzed in 1993.
Former Webster County Circuit Judge Daniel Knust once stated “Hoover’s many accomplishments are the result of three constant character traits. First, Hoover is high energy. He does everything on high speed. Second, he always has a positive, “Can-do” attitude, punctuated with humor. And third, through listening and observing and through a multitude of personal experiences, Hoover has acquired an extraordinary ability to understand all types of people”.
Hoover and his wife Susan reside in Marshfield, MO. They have three children, seven grandchildren and hopefully more to come. Case stated “it is truly an honor to be a member of the Livestock Marketeers. The privilege of working with so many great people in the purebred livestock business is an honor I shall cherish forever. Thank You.”
All of this experience has led Hoover to knowing the people, knowing the land and knowing ‘every side of the coin’. Hoover loves to see people gain assets to build their family legacy on. If you need to buy or sell a home, have a land, equipment, or livestock auction, there is no one more excited or qualified to help you on that endeavor.

What to do if your business is a victim of fraud
5 key steps to reporting a crime & potentially recovering lost funds
What should you do if you realize your business has become a victim?
As the closures stretch on due to the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic, businesses continue to operate, many with significant modifications. For companies that previously functioned with mostly in-person interactions, payments and other dealings had to quickly shift online. Even for those who already managed money transfers digitally or customer communications via email, there most likely has been some level of adjustment. Unfortunately, the shift has led to a rise in business fraud. Clients of Western Union Business Solutions can engage our compliance team for assistance in reporting these suspected crimes and attempting to recover stolen funds.
What threats should businesses look out for?
One crime, known as business email compromise, involves a company receiving an email and pretending to be a known client or vendor. The message may indicate that the payment details have changed, and funds now need to be transferred to a new account, bank or recipient. Because the note includes familiar details, such as the logo or name, the reader may deem it legitimate and follow the instructions. In the wake of this payment, a business may likely recognize their error and find themselves in an alarming situation – their money is gone.
Realizing your business has become a victim and funds have been sent to a fraudster can be distressing. In fact, the true number of instances is unknown as not all crimes of this nature are reported. Yet, it’s important to notify the right parties so action can be taken.
Here are five steps to consider taking if you determine that funds have been sent to a fraudster. Note that the recovery service is only available to clients of Western Union Business Solutions:
Immediately contact accounting at your business, as well as your Western Union Business Solutions representative, to make a report.
Keep records of ALL contact made with the fraudster (e.g. electronic copies of the emails)
Report the incident to your local law enforcement.
If there’s an indication that the email account has been compromised, contact your IT department for a detailed review.
Do not make any further payments to the beneficiary until the security issue is resolved.
Is there a way to recover the money?
Yes, this is possible. Recently, Western Union Business Solutions recovered $4.4 million USD for a client whose customer had lost money from an email scam. It’s important to contact your representative as soon as you can, with all relevant information and documentation. However, recovery is not guaranteed, and it is better to work towards prevention.
If you notice the following details in an email communication requesting a change in payment methods or amounts, be cautious and explore further before actioning. Here are some key red flags to watch out for:
Changing the country of the beneficiary’s bank
Changing the beneficiary name
A reason is provided for the change
A lookalike or spoofed email address
Incorrect spelling or grammar
Invoice change (logo, style or file size)
Urgency – the sender asks for the funds ASAP
3 key steps to prevention
Keep a list of your contacts with emails, phone numbers and addresses for reference
Never take a significant financial action from an email instruction alone
Always call your contact to verbally confirm any change

Pitfalls, opportunities and the people to watch in 2021
A global pandemic did not feature in predictions for 2020, but the assumption that the Covid-19 vaccines will live up to their promise underpins how the business world is sizing up this year. Here are the key trends, people and risks for sectors from energy to technology.
Trend to watch
The turmoil of 2020 did little to encourage confidence in the staying power of fossil fuels. While peak oil demand remains on the horizon, it is not imminent. Consumption will roar back at some point in 2021 but while renewable energy will continue its advance, CO2 emissions will also rise after last year’s hiatus. Economic stimulus measures in the US and a weak dollar should underpin crude prices, making the battered oil and gas sector tempting for some investors.
Biggest regulatory risk
International energy policy will move in one direction next year: towards decarbonisation. US president-elect Joe Biden has promised a clean energy revolution, but how much of it happens will be down to Congress and the courts. Working out who has the upper hand will keep the energy sector on edge. In November, the focus will turn to Glasgow’s COP26 climate meeting, where governments will pledge more action on emissions.
Person to watch

Gina McCarthy, Mr Biden’s pick to oversee climate and energy policy from the White House, is the policymaker to watch. The success of Mr Biden’s energy ambitions will hinge on her organisational skills and political nous. Although she has run the Environmental Protection Agency, as domestic climate tsar Ms McCarthy will need to corral the country’s fragmented energy bureaucracy, while also trying to win support from a divided Congress.
What would be the biggest surprise
Deep production cuts by Opec last year eased the worst oil price crash in decades, and the cartel is expected to keep cutting until 2022. But some Opec countries are chafing at the supply restrictions and political frictions are never far away. Indeed, some advisers to Saudi Arabia say it no longer makes sense for the kingdom to keep sacrificing market share to keep rival producers afloat. Still, failure to reach agreement on future cuts would be a surprise and upend forecasts for this year. Derek Brower
Sustainability. Consumer goods groups have set ambitious targets for cutting their greenhouse gas emissions and in many cases becoming “net zero”. But shareholders will be watching for specifics, including how companies will manage the costs of such plans. With the pandemic disrupting economies, there are concerns that consumers may be less prepared to pay a premium for “green” products. At the same time, Unilever chief executive Alan Jope argues the world is moving towards charging for emissions. “It is inevitable that a price on carbon will come — that will focus everyone’s minds,” he said.
Sugar beat? Makers of processed foods are under growing pressure © Wachara Kireewon/Getty
Sugar taxes and other moves to fight obesity. The UK’s almost seven-year-old soft drinks tax is viewed as a success after it pushed beverage makers to cut the sugar content of their products; other countries including Malaysia and India have also brought in such levies. Curbs on junk food advertising and promotions are being introduced in the UK and elsewhere, while the market in sugar substitutes is booming. Makers of processed foods are under growing pressure, while “healthy” food and drinks producers are likely to be the acquisition targets of choice.
Carlos Brito, chief executive of Anheuser-Busch InBev. As well as navigating the challenges of the pandemic, AB InBev has been trying to shift away from the merger machine that made Mr Brito’s reputation but also amassed large debts. A share “lock-up” for some of the company’s core shareholders, including tobacco group Altria and Colombia’s Santo Domingo family, ends in October. The FT reported last year that the group had begun a search for Mr Brito’s successor.
A merger of Unilever and Reckitt Benckiser. Unilever’s decision last year to unify its structure — becoming a UK company rather than an Anglo-Dutch one after 90 years — should make mergers and acquisitions easier. Some analysts have suggested it might look to a potential combination with Dettol maker Reckitt. Both companies poured scorn on the idea, but a surprise combination would herald a return of the megamergers that created Kraft Heinz five years ago. Judith Evans
Demand for some digital services will slip but will still be at a new and much higher level than before © Hollie Adams/Bloomberg
Will the tech sector be left with an almighty pandemic hangover? The rising tide of demand for digital services in 2020 lifted many boats, as working, learning and playing from home took off. There should be fewer video meetings and less take-out ordering by the end of 2021, but the pandemic taught workers new ways to collaborate and opened consumers’ eyes to the many conveniences of the digital economy. Demand for some services will slip but will still be at a new and much higher level than before the pandemic, and many companies will spend 2021 struggling to upgrade their digital capabilities to keep up.
The first batch of antitrust cases against big tech companies in the US will not hit the courts this year. Instead, the focus will shift to lawmaking, as Europe and the US push ambitious new legislative agendas. Brussels is further ahead, and the new laws it proposed in the final days of 2020 to curb the power of the tech giants will be echoed in less strident proposals from the US Congress. By the end of the year, the outlines of a broad consensus will be visible: to limit the way big tech companies use their dominant platforms to favour their own services, and to force them to do more to fight illicit content. It will take until 2022 for these new frameworks to make it into law, and even longer to discover if they have any real teeth.
The restless Elon Musk will be looking for new worlds to conquer © Andrew Harrer/Bloomberg
Elon Musk. Who else? Despite becoming the world’s second-richest man (after Jeff Bezos) and seeing Tesla shoot to the top of the automotive industry’s valuation rankings, Mr Musk still has plenty of room to surprise. For much of the world, his Twitter persona — tech visionary and full-time contrarian, spiced up with a Trumpian blend of egomania and trolling — guarantee attention. But the scope for real business and technology impact remains high, including what could be the world’s first global broadband network delivered from satellites, SpaceX’s Starlink. Expect at least one other radical departure as the restless Mr Musk looks for new worlds to conquer.
If one of the big tech companies considered spinning off a significant part of its business. Regulatory pressure is building, with critics pleased at the prospect of forced break-ups, though that battle is still years in the future. But there is scope for voluntary reforms that would reduce the risk of big-company sclerosis and unleash promising businesses, while at the same time staying one step ahead of the regulators. Alphabet has already started to unpick some of its “moonshot” projects: a more radical step would be to spin off its cloud computing division, which is developing a very different culture from the rest of the group. Richard Waters
The consequences of Brexit remain the big unknown in financial services. Having left the EU, can London retain its crown as the region’s financial centre or will its dominance be slowly eroded by European challengers? New York, Hong Kong and Singapore will also be eager for a share of the spoils if London stumbles.
European regulators could decide that the €78tn of euro-denominated derivatives currently cleared in London need to be managed inside the EU. This would lead to a massive headache for banks and their customers, who would probably have to pay more to trade as a result. Banks and plenty of other institutions will also need to step up their preparations for the switch away from the discredited Libor benchmark interest rate after a spate of scandals.
Jane Fraser, incoming CEO of Citigroup © Rodrigo Capote/Bloomberg
Jane Fraser will be the first woman to lead a major Wall Street bank when she succeeds Michael Corbat as Citigroup chief executive in February. The 63-year-old Scot knows she will have to do far more than fly the flag for gender equality. Her task is a daunting one.
Among the big US banks, only crisis-plagued Wells Fargo had a worse share price performance than Citi in 2020. Citi has long struggled to convince investors that it can forge a cohesive strategy from its myriad businesses, which range from a global corporate and investment bank to a large Mexican lender.
Europe has yet to see a transformative cross-border merger that would begin to address the continent’s disastrous decade in banking. If a big deal were to happen, a wave of consolidation could follow that might create lenders capable of competing with those on Wall Street. More disruptive, still, would be if a major technology company, such as Google or Amazon, expanded their so far limited forays into finance and tried to become full-scale competitors to traditional lenders, asset managers and insurers. Stephen Morris and Laura Noonan

The gap between retail’s winners and losers grew during the pandemic and is set to widen further in 2021. In the US, Walmart and Target have cemented their position as go-to destinations for shoppers and are likely to use some of the additional cash they have generated in the crisis to further integrate their stores and online operations. For clothing chains and department stores and others hit hard by coronavirus, the problems are existential. Another wave of bankruptcy filings is expected.
Retail lobbyists have a close eye on increases to the minimum wage, while antitrust measures against Amazon could ripple through the sector if they come to fruition. But topping the list of retailers’ policy concerns is how quickly authorities can get a grip on the pandemic. Few bricks-and-mortar chains can wait until vaccines are rolled out: more lockdowns in 2021 would push more over the edge.
The executive behind some of the sector’s most intriguing deals in recent months is not even a retailer. David Simon is a property magnate who runs Simon Property Group, America’s biggest owner of shopping malls. The real estate investment trust has been buying up some of its largest tenants, including the department store chain JCPenney, Forever 21 and Brooks Brothers. How Mr Simon integrates them with the property empire will be fascinating.
As consumer behaviour returns to normal at some point in 2021, some struggling chains should be able to stage a recovery. Deep-rooted structural challenges facing shopping mall and main street operators will persist, however. Wall Street would be surprised if the laggards somehow find a way to effectively combat the might of Amazon. Alistair Gray

Film Review: Chain Kulli Ki Main Kulli
Film: Chain Kulii Ki Main Kulii
Presenter: Saregama
Director: Kituu Salooja
Music Director: Salim Sulaiman
Lyrics: Irfan Siddique
Cast: Rahul Bose, Zain Khan, Rajesh Khera, Kapil Dev, Meera Vasudevan, Nasir Hussain, Susheel Parasher, Amrindher Sodhi
In 2002, John Schultz made Like Mike, a film about Mike (Lil Bow Wow), an orphan who scores big after discovering a pair of sports shoes with MJ’s initials on them. He believes it is magical and soon, this belief makes him an NBA Superstar and finds himself a new family.
Cut to 2007, Chain Kulii Ki Main Kulii hits theatres. The story, you ask? Since cricket is what works best in this part of the globe, it’s only fair that it be leveraged. Karan (Zain Khan), an orphan, discovers Kapil Dev’s, 1983 World Cup cricket bat. The power of a thunderbolt fills it with magic, (or is it just his belief?) and one fine day, he is discovered by the Indian cricket team coach, who eventually enrols him in the team.
This new cricket sensation is made to live with Varun (Rahul Bose), the captain of the Indian cricket team. Before long, the boy wonder gets all he could ask for, including fame, adulation and more importantly, a family.
What is incomprehensible is why someone would seek inspiration in a film that did not do well in the first place. Like Mike was a film that hardly anyone ever saw. Even though certain additional characters have been put in, they are so inane that instead of helping the film, they spoil it.
There are many moments you want to take back with you, when you head home. But then why pay a hefty sum to take back only moments. While CKKMK could have adapted the tasteful parts from Like Mike, it doesn’t. The polished editing, the gloss and heartrending moments are all left for superficial and synthesised moments.
The biggest ‘boo’ the film gets is for the thoughtless dialogues. Inconsequential lines replace possible impact providing and thought rendering ones. This makes the film so light that you want to take none of it seriously, and thus even your participation in the film takes a backseat.
It’s like the film has been spared of the editing task. The editing is neither crisp nor have the scenes been leveled. Varied shots of the same scene are placed in sequence throughout the film. Even the camera work and cinematography is average. The colours seem dull and the textures that could have heightened every scene seem missing as well. It is almost never that you see a well framed shot.
All said and done, the film works on many levels. Since the add on characters are painful, those who rescue the film are the two strong protagonists. Khan and Bose’s characters are well thought out, and the certain twists that are added to their lives, makes for interesting viewing.
Furthermore, the gradual display of development in the relationship between Khan and Bose is adorable and well brought out. But it’s not for long that you enjoy that, as the forced music comes on to you and disrupts all of it by playing in the background.
Even as most of the characters created are one-dimensional, it is Khan’s character that blows your socks off. Khan does tremendously well in playing the part. Without being loud or going overboard with emotions, he gets the sentiment across. Bose bowled us with his performance in Pyaar Ke Side effects, sadly, that’s all we have to make do with. He is seen explaining his lines more often than enacting them, emphasising on each word. His movements seem restricted and so do his expressions. Khera, who essays the role of the Orphanage owner, besides sporting bad make up, delivers a performance driven by hamming. Joining him is Bhansali as Raghav, who goes overboard playing the stereotype bully. Actors like Parasher, Hussain and Vasudevan have been wasted in minor roles.
Offering nothing spectacular, CKKMK is all but just one of the average films that releases week after week. With nothing else new in cinemas this week, you might as well watch it.

Start With Renewables at Local Level, say Low Carbon Hub
Low Carbon Hub is thinks a more local approach to energy is possible in Oxfordshire and the UK. The social enterprise, who are based in Oxford, think that using renewables in local areas could have a positive knock on effect to the rest of the country. To help raise funds for their inspiring vision, Low Carbon Hub is inviting investment in 19 new community energy projects.
The Low Carbon Hub Community Energy Manifesto, published this week, sets out their vision for a decentralised energy system for Oxfordshire, which is to be powered by small scale, community-controlled renewable energy schemes, and to be connected by a series of smart micro grids.
The team’s new share offer will finance their biggest community energy project to date – a 440 kilowatt (kW) hydro project at Sandford Lock just outside Oxford – as well as a portfolio of 18 solar PV projects on schools and businesses all across Oxfordshire. These 19 projects are some of the last community energy projects in the UK to have secured the pre-September 2015 Feed-in Tariff rate.
With a minimum investment of £250, a maximum of £100,000 and projected returns of 5 per cent, Low Carbon Hub aims to attract both small and large investors to their community benefit society, and both individuals and institutions.
Investors in Sandford Lock Hydro will help return the Lasher Weir to its historic role as a provider of clean energy and power the equivalent of 450 homes – or most of Sandford. The 18 solar PV projects will generate clean electricity on unused roof space, for both the hosts and the national grid. With these new projects included, Low Carbon Hub’s total ‘start-up’ portfolio will save 2,344 tonnes of CO2 every year, and contribute enough clean electricity to power 1321 houses.
Low Carbon Hub is three years into their plan to develop a ‘people-centred’ model of energy generation in Oxfordshire. Their past projects have included the UK’s largest community-owned rooftop solar installation (on Norbar Torque Tools in Banbury), the largest solar installation on an Oxfordshire primary school (at Orchard Fields Community School) and a pathfinding solar PV partnership with Oxford Bus Company that contributed £12,000 in community benefit funds in its first year to an insulation project in nearby Barton.
Every year, Oxfordshire spends about £1.5 billion on energy. That is roughly 10 per cent of the region’s GDP. Almost all of that money flows out of the local economy to the big energy companies that are now mainly owned by foreign companies. Many of the power stations feeding this system are coming to the end of their life, including Didcot power station in Oxfordshire.
Replacing this old infrastructure with a more decentralised system run through social enterprises would keep ownership and revenues from energy generation in local economies, supporting local jobs and the low carbon economy.
Dr Barbara Hammond MBE CEO of Low Carbon Hub, said: “Given the changes in government policy over the last year, we at Low Carbon Hub have had to be very light on our feet and work incredibly hard to secure the pipeline of 19 projects funded by our current share offer.
“With these projects we will be increasing our asset base by 400 per cent and guaranteeing we can have a real impact over the next 20 years, through the deployment of over £3.5 million of community benefit funds the projects will generate.
“We would like as many local people as possible to benefit from community-owned renewable energy in Oxfordshire. Investing in this share offer is an opportunity to do that, while also helping to shape Oxfordshire’s energy future.”
Low Carbon Hub has set out their vision for the use of their £3.5 million community benefit fund in the Low Carbon Hub Community Energy Manifesto. The chapter ‘10- points for change’ outlines what the community energy sector needs from Government to meet the commitments the UK made in Paris last year.
To see projects to be funded by this share offer, or to invest in it yourself, visit the website. Investments are via Ethex, the positive investment platform.
Jonathon Porritt CBE, Co-founder of Forum for the Future said: “Low Carbon Hub in Oxford is one of the most important community energy organisations in the UK. It’s poised to start a real revolution in the way we develop and use our energy.”

S&P: Climatic Perils Are Likely To Intensify, Hitting Poorer Sovereigns Harder, Says S&P Report
Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services for the first time has simulated the hypothetical ratings effect of natural disasters, and found that rare but calamitous events can have a measurable credit impact, in a report titled,”Storm Alert: Natural Disasters Can Damage Sovereign Creditworthiness.”
“Our simulations indicate the impact that rare but severe natural disasters–those that can be expected once every 250 years–can bring to bear on sovereign ratings. The biggest ratings impact is likely to come from earthquakes, followed by tropical storms,” Mr. Kraemer said. “Geographically, ratings of sovereigns in Latin America and the Caribbean appear to be most at risk, followed by Asia, taking into account higher geologic and climatic hazards than in the rest of the world.”
“The ratings of low-income developing sovereigns are particularly vulnerable to severe natural catastrophes,” Mr. Kraemer added, “followed by emerging and the less threatened advanced economies. It is therefore no coincidence that sovereigns with lower ratings tend to be more vulnerable to natural catastrophes than higher-rated sovereigns.”
In Japan for example, a 1-in-250-year event could cause a significant economic downturn and a decline in the sovereign rating by at least two notches (see table below), with potentially severe economic and financial repercussions for the rest of the world. We believe that in the immediate aftermath, the earthquake would result in a disruption of trade flows, block supply channels, with a simultaneous sell-off of foreign assets held by the Japanese residents and partial repatriation of Japanese financial assets held abroad, possibly causing an economic slowdown in the rest of the world and turmoil in global financial markets.
To quantify hypothetical ratings impact, Standard & Poor’s used direct damage data provided by Swiss Re in constructing a simplified sovereign rating tool. We simulated the impact over a five-year period of a one-in-250-year
occurrence of four perils (earthquakes, tropical storms, winter storms, and floods) on key macroeconomic variables: GDP growth, the balance of payments, as well as on general government debt and deficits.
We see particularly large potential direct economic damage and related pressure on creditworthiness for sovereigns on or close to the edges of Earth’s geological plates, for example, around the Pacific Rim (for example Chile, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Japan, Panama, Peru, Philippines, Taiwan), in the Caribbean (Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Panama), and on the North Anatolian fault (Turkey).
TOP-10 RATING IMPACT OF SIMULATED 1-IN-250-YEAR NATURAL DISASTERS
Sovereign – Peril – Potential downgrade (notches)
Dominican Rep. – Tropical storm and surge -2.5
Chile – Earthquake – 2.4
Bangladesh – Tropical storm and surge – 2.2
Japan – Earthquake – 2.1
Costa Rica – Earthquake – 1.8
Vietnam – Tropical storm and surge – 1.8
Peru – Earthquake – 1.8
Thailand – Flood – 1.6
Taiwan – Earthquake – 1.3
Turkey – Earthquake – 1.3
There are wide differences among the sovereigns concerned (see table). For example, for the most affected sovereigns listed above, the hypothetical ratings would decline by at least one notch for some (for example, for Costa
Rica, Ecuador, Panama, Peru, Philippines, Taiwan, and Turkey) and almost two or potentially more for others (Chile and Japan). In many other sovereigns, the ratings impact is at least half a notch, indicating material downward pressure (Colombia, Dominican Republic, Indonesia, Israel, Italy, Mexico, and New Zealand).
S&P believe that one way to mitigate the economic and ratings implications of natural disasters is catastrophe insurance. In the case of the five biggest earthquakes covered in the study, the rating impact would be a downgrade of about one notch if 50% of the damage were reinsured, compared with almost two notches for no insurance coverage at all. We believe that these findings are particularly relevant for emerging and developing sovereigns. They are typically the most vulnerable to natural disasters in terms of direct and indirect economic losses and, as a result, creditworthiness. It is also in those economies where insurance coverage is typically low.
For other perils, sovereign ratings in our sample would come under pressure if a one-in-250-year tropical storm hits, although generally less than in the case of an earthquake scenario.
For floods, the economic impact on the most advanced developed sovereigns in Europe, while not negligible, appears to be limited and unlikely to lead to sovereign rating downgrades. Among the sovereigns covered in this report,
severe floods would cause the most economic damage in Hungary and Thailand, weakening their macroeconomic metrics and creditworthiness.
Sovereigns in Europe are frequently hit by winter storms, but given the relatively low direct damage as a percentage of value and high insurance coverage, macroeconomic consequences of winter storms do not appear to be
significant. Winter storms are unlikely to lead to downward pressure on sovereign creditworthiness.
“Looking ahead, climatic perils could intensify in line with past trends as climate change gathers pace. Specifically we view it as possible that storms and floods will become more frequent and more severe as the average global temperature rises and weather patterns shift,” Mr. Kraemer said.
“Before long, this could lead to an upward revision of the damage caused by one-in-250-year catastrophes, and thereby also result in a stronger hit to ratings than suggested in this report,” he added. “We expect that climate
change-induced intensification of the frequency and severity of natural disasters would hurt the ratings on poorer sovereigns the most, adding to global ratings inequality.”

← A stats geek takes a hammer to conference championship games.
Eh, what the hell. →
Now that the first year is in the books…
I’m curious to hear from you about something.
If the spectrum of expectations for Georgia’s 2017 season runs from “another throwaway season” at one end to “great leap” at the other, where do yours fall?
185 responses to “Now that the first year is in the books…”
“Regression to the mean” is a phrase in use here a bit recently. I’d think that in year 2, regression to our 15 year mean of 10 wins is a reasonable expectation.
VoxDawg
I’m cautiously optimistic, expecting 10-2 and winning the East not being off the table.
Better be a great leap. Don’t the metrics all indicate if the new guy doesn’t have it going by year 2, he probably will never get it going? Either way, next year UGA will have 2 stellar recruiting classes in the bag, almost 2 years of The Process, continuity at QB and with the staff (it appears). As Big Ed Bookman says in Texas, “It’s time to stop talking about the picture of the dog.” I don’t expect a national championship next year, or even an SEC title, but I expect to see something a lot better than what I saw this year.
I’m with you. If it’s not a great leap, we did not get our man, IMO.
parrishwalton
Dabo would disagree, but yes, for the most part he who doesn’t win early in his tenure doesn’t stay long enough to right the ship.
You mean Deshaun would disagree with you. 😉
Tahj Boyd got Clemson to 11-2 and beat Ohio State in the Orange Bowl. People keep sleeping on Dabo like he’s some chump…the dude can build a staff and recruit. Clemson isn’t good because of Deshaun alone.
How good can he be? After all, that bum Mark Richt beat the pants off of him in Athens, and nearly did the same at Clemson.
I will admit that Dabo has built a pretty strong team around Watson. It wouldn’t surprise me to see them win tonight.
A10Penny
Todd Gurley did a lot of the heavy lifting in those games
Who recruited him again? eh oh yea Mark did.
Yes, he did. CMR recruited his share of incredible players. Depth of recruiting was an issue though, and Kirby fixed that in a hurry (assuming the class signs and doesn’t implode once it gets to Athens).
in fact, didn’t MR beat Dabo for Gurley? Dabo seemed to think they were getting him right up to the end, or pretty close.
Will (The Other One)
No, but if Watson and Venebales left after this season, I’d be very skeptical of Auburn with a Lake next year.
Venables isn’t going anywhere as nothing is open worth his time. And Clemson might dip to 9-3 next year, but that’ll be because they’re in between QBs. If 9-3 is a bad year you’re doing something right.
You could maybe say that about Jimbo too. His 2nd year was pretty underwhelming. Then he got rolling downhill and smoked fools.
Mike Cooley
Agree Parrish. I don’t understand the reluctance to give credit where it is due where Dabo is concerned. I also don’t understand the tendency people have to or the need they seem to have to characterize him as buffoonish and not to be taken seriously. They can do that if they want t to but they do it at their own risk of being made fools of themselves. I don’t have real strong feelings about the guy either way but dude is legit as a coach. Some of the self styled intellectuals may not think he’s cool enough for them but he did t trip and fall into the success he’s had. Clemson was a perennial “close but not quite” sort of team for what seemed like forever. Dabo has made them into the real thing.
Dabo seems to be an outlier, metrics wise, which I guess goes to show that metrics aren’t everything. For the record, I think Dabo is a hell of a good recruiter and coach, and it wont surprise me one bit to see Alabama go after him when Saban decides to hang it up. A school could do (and has done) much worse than to hire a guy with a proven track record as a head coach at a Power 5 school if they want to be a national power.
AuditDawg
A school could do (and has done) much worse than to hire a guy with a proven track record as a head coach at a Power 5 school if they want to be a national power.
Can you imagine a guy like Dabo with the unlimited resources and administration support he’d get at Alabama? Me, I hope they hire another Mike Shula or Ray Perkins.
Saban has transformed the culture. They’re more likely to hire Bill Belichick than Mike Shula for their next coach.
well, Belichik is a great coach, but he’s getting old, isn’t he? Can Bama boosters offer him eternal youth or something? Talk about attention to detail.
Rpcpisme
How good was UGA the last time Clemson made a run at the national title?
Perhaps the Dawgs can get something going next season?
Georgia was not a good team in 2015.
But they won 10 games
Yeah – but the question was how good was Georgia the last time Clemson contended for a national title which was a whole year ago.
FWIW – that 2015 team was better than this 2016 team by nearly any objective measure you want to use.
I don’t argue that. 2015 had 2 5 year SR tackles, Malcom Mitchell, Leonard Floyd, and Jordan Jenkins. It was still the worse 10 win team you’ll ever see.
You must have missed that Iowa team that went to the Rose Bowl last year. Absolutely mediocre team that got lucky it missed Ohio State, Michigan, and Michigan State in the regular season. Hell – Northwestern won 10 games last year and got obliterated by Tennessee in its bowl game. There’s plenty of average as grits 10 win teams in the modern era of CFB with 12 game schedules. You keep acting like Georgia 2015 is unique in this respect.
bing good call on Iowa last year.
In all seriousness – there’s like 3 Power 5 teams that finished with 10 wins last year that fell below Georgia’s #32 in S&P+. I just don’t see why people feel the need to continuously shit on the 2015 team. As far as I’m concerned, 2016 was a far more unenjoyable viewing experience. At least that 2015 team put Spurrier in the retirement home. That’s a redeeming quality for an average season in and of itself.
To each their own. I’m not saying 2016 set the world on fire, bc God knows it didn’t, but 2015 was the most miserable season I had as a UGA fan since the 2000 disappointment. Probably just me.
Tri, you have a warped perspective. How much did you like the 2010 6-7 team? ’09? The ’09 team looked all season like a it would have a losing record but pulled the fat out of the fire at the end to go 8-5. The 2015 team was a decent albeit not great team that actually could have won the SEC East if Chubb hadn’t gotten hurt in the UT game and CMR had not made the biggest game-planning blunder of his career in the FU game.
OK, you got me…I was referring to early 1980s. My attempt was making a correlation between Clemson national title run and UGA national title run. Just looking for a silver lining to UGAs benefit from the CU run. Their QB is special, it will be interesting to see how they look next searon.
I was just being a smartass, but I knew what you meant.
Jack Klompus
As would Mike Macintyre.
Agree. Not winning the East, considering the schedule and the state of our division, would be a colossal failure
Grathams replacement
10-4,11-3. Defense improves to 17-20 ppg, even more improvement if a dominant pass rusher emerges. OL,WR, and Eason improve as the season goes on. Kicker is the wildcard with the Blankenship drama.
Kicker has been the wild card for the last two years, and not just because of the befuddling situation with Blankenship. For a program with a long long history of great kicking and punting to have come to this is some kind of existential bitch-slap. Its like we done pissed somebody off, there.
Well.. since you asked.. Our weakest points were first, an undersized and out maneuvered O line who had difficulty run blocking. And if we can run with Chubb, Michel et al in the backfield we are in trouble. Second, Eason wasn’t quite up to the hype he came with. He is a great talent and a nice young man. But, he overthrew a lot of open recievers or didn’t see them at all. He did show some promise in the Liberty Bowl by running when flushed out of the pocket instead of getting sacked or throwing the ball away. We have a favorable schedule next year, but we had that this year too. If we get the O line organized and BEAT FLORIDA who knows?
Derek Dooley 2.0
You mean an undersized and improperly coached Offensive Line. I see improvement coming in with this new OL class. I’m not certain we have the coaches in place to capitalize. Let’s hope so.
Biggen
Be in the SEC championship game. That is the bar for me and anything less would be a disappointment. No reason to not run the table in the East with the amount of talent returning AND coming into the Fall.
Chi-town Dawg
+1 agree completely!
yep better compete for the big prize this year not be out of it in October
I don’t know how it will go, but it better go to the SECCG and an east division title.
9-3. Losses to Notre Dame, UF and Auburn.
Auburn. If you had said any other team, I could be on board. But AU.
I like how we just chuck up a loss to Florida, naturally (I do too)
But hey, frat beach! Barbara Jean’s in October! Good times, I guess.
Well he is saying Losses and naming teams, losing to ND at their house, could see. Losing to UF, 50-50 ok. But in the last 10 years, UGA has owned AU. So there I draw the line.
I would consider the program being on schedule the East coming down to the WLOCP win or loss in a 4Qtr game. Smart needs to get the program to a point where is .500 or slightly better against UF.
The UF QB situation will be interesting to watch. McElwain catches flack for the QB situation but he was having a solid 1st yr before the QB was ruled ineligible, and a good 2nd yr when the starter was injured. They red shirted a QB who was ranked just behind Eason and Del Rio is back. UF should be favored to win the East again.
GT is a must win or Smart hot seat talk starts. UGA coaches don’t start 0-3 to the nerds.
Year 3 is the big year. Smart recruited OL heavy this year, Hopefully they sign and then develop in year 2. Chubb and Sony are great but they can’t create miracles with a mediocre OL.
I was thinking ND but I’ll take a SEC loss over a non conference loss any day.
Middlin
If anyone says Kirby will succeed, they’re lying. No one knows. Any throwaway season will only be excused in hindsight… if he actually builds something. The caveat I’ll give is that I’m not going to bitch too much about his 1st year, despite some real head scratching moments (games). 2nd year doesn’t get a pass. I can’t put a number on that, but all I can say today is I need to see significant progress
rchris
If you look at raw athletic talent on hand, the only teams that will be remotely close to us are Notre Dame (coming off a losing record), and Auburn (who we beat). Unfortunately we have to play them both on the road as well as Tennessee, and we play the Gators in Jax. If Kirby can get as much out of his talent as the opposing coaches do theirs, then we should win at least 2 of those 4. 10-2 in the regular season is a reasonable expectation.
Also, if Kirby & Co. weren’t killing it on the recruiting trail, I think there’d be a lot more restlessness amongst the natives.
He better recruit well. To compensate for coaching.
Win the east, beat Florida, lose pretty handily in the champ game, but not by five TDs
I think that all the indicators will point to an East title or 9-3, 10-2 a top 15 type of team.
What I would be more interested in is being able to pull up Bill C stats at the end of the season and seeing 2+ games in 90+ range, 5-6 games in the 75-90 range and maybe 4 games in the 60-75 range. No games in the single digits. No game below 50th percentile.
Regardless of the wins and losses that would indicate that this team was moving towards being a competitive national title team. Maybe a team that ends the year better than they started.
My guess is that we see something a little better than a throwaway season, but the drive home is still nothing but guys telling you that we just dont have the players and talent in athens to beat Mizzou.
So , basically, get back to where CMR / Bobo left us
Year 2 yes, Year 3 I would want a WLOCP W, and a SEC CG trip playing closer than our last meeting with Bama.
…and by Year 2 yes I would say 2011-2012 Richt/Bobo not ’13+ Richt/Bobo.
I was let down because Smart was so rigid in his philosophy that he didn’t go after the wins. I think he learned a lot though, and I bet we see more out of the offense next year. I expect there to be changes in the OL if someone gets beat like Catalina, I expect Eason to be under center as much as he can handle, I expect to see Mr Chubb and M Michel to get the ball more often.
I still think Smart will be successful. His recruiting is incredible, the East sucks, and I’m an eternal optimist.
Starbreaker
Looks like I’m on the same page as most others…win the East and be competitive in the SEC championship game, at least. It’s not as much about our team, but the competition and next year is looking like an even more down year for the SEC East (if that was even possible). Also, the offense is going to have to pass the eye test and appear more in sync and fluid in Chaney’s offense. No doubt there will still be struggles with a new OL, but I need to feel better about the offense and see improvement.
I feel like 2017 is going to have a lot of similarities to 1997. So I’ll go with 10-2. Whether that’s good enough to get to Atlanta or not, idk. Obviously it depends on how the rest of the conference shakes out.
I want to see two things (drastically) improve next season.
1: Eason has to get better and take advantage of the gimme plays. I don’t need him threading the needle 25 yards down the field with regularity, but I need him to hit the open receiver for the big play. He failed to do so far too often this year, but since he’s a true freshman learning a complicated system I’ll give him a one-year pass. That pass expired Dec. 30th, however.
2: Kirby’s in-game coaching has got to get better. I expected there to be some issues and he didn’t disappoint. His time out usage is awful for the most part and truth be told his demeanor is too up and down. I know we all wanted Richt to be a little bit more emotional, but Kirby seems to be a classic overcorrection to that. He needs to settle himself down a bit while keeping some of the emotion that makes him who he is. That’s not an easy thing to manage but it’s part of the gig.
As for the season outlook, it’s just so hard to tell this early. Players will be hurt. Players will transfer. While I’m somewhat bullish on the offensive line, I still think UGA is one year away before contending for anything special. That doesn’t mean UGA can’t win the SEC East. In fact I would be disappointed if it didn’t. But it could very well be a sacrificial lamb should Bama find itself in Atlanta again a la Florida the past two years. I think 10-2 is a very real possibility with 9-3 being more realistic. Road games at Auburn (who will be much better next year), Tennessee and Notre Dam plus Florida in Jax isn’t an easy 4 game deal. Then you have to worry about losing to a team you shouldn’t, because UGA showed it was more than capable of doing that this year.
The first team to 15-0 ever!
(See what I did there?)
I’ll second that. LOL.
Reverend Whitewall
As many have pointed out, if a new coach doesn’t win big by Year 2, they usually don’t end up winning big at all. I’m not saying I’m expecting it, but anything less than an East title isn’t going to look good for the future. And I would add at least being competitive in the SECCG too. Barely winning a weak East division then getting blown out in the SECCG wouldn’t be a huge step forward in my opinion.
I mean… UGA went 7-5 this year, so winning the East and playing in Atlanta would most definitely be a major improvement. Doesn’t matter if UGA gets blasted in Atlanta or not.
I see your point……I’m just saying that let’s say we swapped places with UF this year – I wouldn’t feel drastically more optimistic about the future if we’d had their season instead of ours.
I think thats why so many people here see getting to Atlanta as the baseline. UF has been a very bad team and still won the east two years running. We should at least be able to do that.
Bulldog Gemes
A great throwaway season
Win the East or have compelling reasons why not. Demonstrate a willingness to use our talent to their best advantage.
Bill Glennon
I look at Kirby this year like I would a true freshman QB in the SEC. I think he will make good progress this year, and the game will slow down for him. However, he might not yet be seasoned enough.
Kirby is absolutely lights out in the “off the field” coaching aspects like recruiting and building enthusiasm. He has experience in these areas. His “on the field” coaching has been bad, although the D has been OK. His media and press dealings have been bad. His bad coaching areas are those that that he never handled under Saban.
Kirby has the right personality. He is a motivated, intelligent grinder. A gym rat. Those types of people are resourceful and learn from their mistakes. They figure out how to win over time. I expect we will see steady progress but not a championship for a few years.
He won’t get a “few” years
7-5 gets him at least 3-4, IMHO..
He better because no other SEC team may win a championship while Saban is still coaching. I don’t consider the SECE a championship. UGA might go to the SEC Championship game but lose to Alabama. If they do that, I will accept it till Saban retires.
Cpark58
Improved with flashes of greatness, hitting on all cylinders by whatever Florida bowl we go to. SEC East Champs or missed by a thin margin and added depth another top 5 recruiting class.
The O-Line could be a liability as it will be super young but with leadership in the RB position, more experience at QB and a more talented receiving corps, we should be much improved on offense. Next year’s line will have more upside but still be mighty young to motor-grade but now that Eason is possibly 1/3 through his career, the game should be slower for him so playbook should open up and its reasonable to expect he have the command of the offense and be better able to make changes at the line away from doomed plays.
No one is asking for an all shotgun, 5 wide, air raid spread attack. UGA can still be the pro-style, run first, wear down the defense, play action team it wants to be but Mr. Cheney will have no excuse but to adapt or die until the motor-grader is ready.
I guess I’d ask what’s going to be different? Our OL was a huge problem, will freshmen from this lights out recruiting class be enough to fix that problem? As this blog has noted, our general offensive approach has been… undynamic. Is there reason to think that will change? Is there someone in-house who can help develop Eason into the QB we all want to see? For everyone calling for the 10/11 win season this year, I’d ask why specifically you think you’ll see improvement?
Because we won’t be playing a true freshman, 18 year old QB?
it’s reasonable to expect an improvement between year 1 and 2 as everyone becomes more comfortable with everything. It ain’t like UGA’s offense was prolific or dynamic before Cheney got there and he wrecked it.
FarmerDawg
So yur sayn there’s a chance?
RCBRick
Talent improves, but Chaney is still calling the O and Kirby is still in over his head. 50/50 shot we win a bad east, and could win anywhere between 4 and 11 games, because that is just how football is, but it would be surprising if UGA finishes top 15 in S&P+. I’m guessing somewhere around 30th.
I don’t expect anything. If they take a leap forward, Smart may end up being a good hire. If not, he’ll probably be fired a year or two later.
Tronan
SEC East champs and at least nine wins in the regular season. Anything less is going to put Kirby and staff on the hotseat – and considering the 2017 schedule, rightfully so.
I think we need to see some dramatic improvement. Having said that, we could easily still lose three games while playing vastly better than last year. We need to see the things we were promised THIS year: no face plants, attention to detail and a team that gives it’s best effort on every play of every game. It would also be nice NOT to see the coaches stubbornly insisting on pounding square pegs into round holes.
There’s not a loss on that schedule, but there are 5 tough games. We would have expected not less than 10 – 2 with an East Division title pre-Kirby. Given all of the issues this coaching staff needs to overcome, I think they come up one game short at 9 – 3 and miss winning the East again.
I don’t expect an SEC championship next season because (1) Jim Chaney will still be calling the plays and developing the offensive game plan and (2) I’m not bullish on the offensive line play being championship quality. After saying that, I expect what we got in year 2 of the previous guy … an appearance in Atlanta and a team that fights like mad and lets the chips fall where they may. If there’s not an appearance in Mercedes Benz Stadium on the first week of December, someone’s seat is going to be hot entering 2018.
I think with our talent and schedule 9-3 would the expectation given a perfectly average coaching job. So I expect we’ll go 8-4. I expect we’ll be unhappy with that.
Beat Tech and don’t ruin my trip to Chicago.
We are going to ND as well. I sure hope the restaurants aren’t the highlight of the trip.
Ditto. Already booked our house in South Bend for the weekend.
Have you been to South Bend? It’s not Athens.
We’re flying to Chicago Thursday, Cubs day game on Friday, partybus to and from ND on Saturday, Chicago fun until Wednesday. Is there a Ferris Bueller tour?
We’re staying in Chicago as well. South Bend is a beautiful campus but rather isolated.
I’ve not been to South Bend, but have a few alumni friends here in Atlanta recommending things to do. If nothing else, we’ve got a large enough crowd to have a good time in our house before and after the game.
We’re flying into Chicago on Thursday and thinking about catching that Cubs game on Friday as well. Haven’t decided if we’re renting a car or taking a train to South Bend from Chicago. I’m certain there’s got to be a Ferris Bueller tour if you search for it. The wife and I are heading back to Chicago later that month for a wedding so not planning on spending much time there after the game other than to fly home.
More Arizona, Less Colorado.

To you South Bend Travelers, I am looking to go in on a house for my UGA Junior son and myself.
Saltwater Dawg
Beat Florida
Win the SEC East.
Beat Tech
Competitive game in SEC Championship
Seems like most folks would be happy if we got to the SEC Championship game…and got beat.
If that’s the happy spot, wtf did we go through all this drama and pain for?
I more or less understand the process, that next year should be better than this year and I can almost guarantee that next year will be better than this year.
But that’s hardly the point, is it?
I will not be happy next year or any year we are not playing in the national championship game and winning it.
Oh, silly Scorpio, don’t you know Smart needs to time to purge the losing mentality that Richt instilled in the program for all those years?
Its not a losing mentality Kirby is trying to correct, it’s a mentality of doing just enough to get by is what he’s trying to root out of program.
Yep, fourth-most wins in the nation from 2001-2015 = just barely scraping by. Kirby has indeed put a stop the mentality that produced those results, whatever it was.
How many championships of any kind do we have to show for all of those years?
Two SECS, five east titles, but yeah, no rings.
About the same as any team not coached by guys named Meyer or Saban
2 SEC titles in 15 years while sitting in the 4th best recruiting state in the country. Yeah that’s really lighting it up there champ. Keep dancing to that 10 win drumbeat.
Yeah I’d take 10 wins in a heartbeat right now. You?
Most of them wouldn’t. For a lot of people, an 11 win season with a 3-1 or 4-0 record against rivals that doesn’t result in a title might as well be a 0 win season. I don’t get it personally, seems like a miserable way to live your life, but they’re calling the shots for our program now.
Tim in Sav
Rick……he’s gone, get over it. He had 15 years to get the job done and he didn’t(notice I didn’t say couldn’t) Mark Richt is a great man and a good coach but he’s gone. Lets give Kirby at least three or four years and see what he can do.
Of course we can and should give Kirby time, but I don’t see a point in faking optimism for a situation that looked bad when the staff was hired and has only gotten worse (other than recruiting, which is going gangbusters). We’re likely to be looking for a new coach in a couple years, so we might as well remember how monstrous of a fuck-up this was and who is responsible. If that means I am not ‘letting it go’, so be it. It will be great if Kirby defies the odds, otherwise I am stoked about the guy we hire after McG is sent to the un-hireable purgatory he so richly deserves.
Not all championship game appearances are created equally. If they go 9-3 and squeak in only to be blown out, that’s a far different thing from going 12-0 or 11-1 and losing a competitive game. The latter will still only get him to a fifth year (barring a dropoff of Muschampian proportions) if he doesn’t follow it up with anything.
losing a competitive game in the SECC? You mean like 2012?
I see you didn’t read beyond that to my pointing out it wouldn’t buy him much time.
Your last sentence would make for a pretty miserable year most of the time. You’re not very happy are you? 🙂
No I am pretty happy most of the time because I don’t have unrealistic expectations about my football team.
To want any other result than a national championship for my football team is kinda stupid, no?
I am bored with all this bullshit about what is acceptable.
If 10+ wins a year for 15 years is not acceptable, then by God I want the big enchilada, the glass do hickey, the confetti bath…
To want, or expect, anything else is stupid.
It is possible to develop the right strategy, coach players to be great and play great as a team, to have the right game plan, and still lose. Consistently playing down to or losing to teams with inferior talent has been the UGA way recently. I believe we all expect that to change quickly, and starting next year.
I have seem many teams in many sports get to a championship game for the first time (players and/or coaches – not ever), play extremely well, and not quite have that secret sauce to win while playing under that pressure. I’ve also seen those teams and coaches come back the second time and kill it.
From my own comment, that’s what I meant by competitive in the championship game.
Guess we will know more about the secret sauce tonight, huh?
Looks like they found it.
“It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose. That is not a weakness; that is life.”
-Jean Luc Picard.
Picard was the defensive coordinator at one of those Mississippi junior colleges, right?
Picard was no James T. Kirk! And he had drenched accent. Not that there is anything wrong with that. 🙂
Well, we were in the driver seat for that in 13 14 and 15 but flunked even that test.
If we could get a little improvement along the O line, I don’t see why we shouldn’t be able to beat anyone on the schedule. I expect we lose a game or two but get to Atlanta and play a competitive game. I don’t “expect” to win in Atlanta, but even if its Bama we play, it should be competitive into the fourth quarter.
Compete in every game. Beat Florida. Win the SEC East. Finish the year looking like 2018 will be special. This is what I expect.
Those are pretty reasonable expectations. Well stated.
We really, really have to get back to beating Florida on a regular basis. The importance of that cannot be overstated.
Totally agree … 1990 was a long time ago.
I think that is the key as well. Not only do we need to beat them, but we need to kick the shit out them and get used to doing it. The road to Atlanta for us always runs through Jacksonville.
Absolutely … The OBS brought that mentality to Gainesville when he showed up. We need to kick them in the teeth. I’m still not sure Kirby gets it based on his team’s performance in Jacksonville this year, but it was a throwaway year.
All of you predicting or wanting big years forget we play at UT this year and you can expect some devastating injury to come out of that,
We should take a forfeit in K ‘Ville, either that or refuse to play anyone on the two deep. They’ll be fighting hard to defend their 2016 Life Championship and we can’t risk the knees of our kids.
I expect UGA to be a strong favorite to win the East, and would be disappointed if they don’t make it to Atlanta. While I don’t expect any/many more votes for us to be in the Top 10 next year, we should start somewhere around 15th as a consensus rating, and could be competitive with all teams by the end of the year. Biggest question marks are OC deficiency, whether Eason makes good strides, and whether we get better with in-game management issues (timeouts, challenge communication issues, and personnel groupings.)
Last year I was overly optimistic at 8 1/2 wins, but next year I see 10-2 as the most likely record, assuming no surprise changes before September. This is based on returning personnel, and a soft schedule of opponents, more than us having closed the gap from a team rated in the 60s last year to a Top 15 team by September.
What is a ‘great leap’? I don’t know, but I fully expect us win the East. Can we compete with the West in the SECCG? If compete means not get embarrassed then I think we might be able to do that. Win it all the next year (2018). By the way, if we can get tickets, we’re going to South Bend – I actually think we are going to win that one.
The mythical Year 2. Key juniors on offense a defense returning, coupled with a slew of talented, experienced freshmen & sophomores who have shown great early promise. Back-to-back elite recruiting classes to add depth. A weak division and a relatively easy schedule. Everything is set-up to make this another in a long line of national championship caliber “Year 2’s”.
Given the uninspiring performance of the coaching staff and the fact that this is Georgia, I’m certainly not predicting that it will be, merely thinking that the ingredients and environment dictate that it should be a SEC-title / BCS playoff type of year. Anything less will be a disappointment. Anything less will be what Mark Richt delivered for 15-years.
Unfortunately for Kirby, he is the victim of expectations raised not by his own hand, but by the way in which he was hired and the man he replaced. Another 10-2 season where we wind up on the outside of the national championship race and again pointing to next-year might be realistic, but it is not what Kirby was hired to deliver. He was hired to be better than CMR, not simply a younger, more irritable version with very, very good, but not elite, results.
In short, 2017 is exactly the type of year, and the type of team that Kirby was hired to turn from really good-to-great. Anything less should be viewed as a huge disappointment and the cause for many tough questions to be directed at not only Coach Smart, but also our beloved AD and his cronies in the hydration business.
With next year’s schedule? Win the East is the bar.
drewh07
10-2 and an SEC Championship game appearance. If Kirby doesn’t deliver that then I don’t think we have our guy.
Timphd
I personally want to see the coaching staff focus on winning games over “establishing an identity”. I want to see reins loosened on Eason so he takes a few more chances, like throwing a deep ball that his receiver can catch rather than worrying too much about a turnover. I want to see CPJ make excuses of why he can’t beat Georgia in Mark Richt field. I want to see Gator tears after the Cocktail Party. I want to see Auburn smoked so badly that Gus has to answer lots of hard questions about his leadership. And I want to see the Fighting Irish get their asses whipped by the Dawgs (I hope to witness that one personally). They’ll still be a top ten team after the loss by the way. If those things happen I am pretty secure in thinking that would mean a good season.
My heart: We’ll beat Florida, Auburn and Tech, plus Notre Dame at South Bend, win a weak SEC East and give Bama all it can handle in Atlanta.
My head: this is CKS’s second year, following a spotty first season, and nobody should expect miracles. But it would be nice to get back at least to where Richt left us. I truly felt we regressed last season. That was a major disappointment. A repeat of that will portend a short stay in Athens for CKS.
Another throwaway. Btw, no former Saban assistant has beaten him head to head. Still.
Keep beating that drum while ignoring that Jimbo is a badass. Saban hasn’t played an assistant that has had the time, support, recruiting, etc. to build a program that can complete with him. That certainly doesn’t mean it’s not possible. It means he hasn’t run into it yet.
Season opener in 2017. Dome christening.
I doubt there is any school in the known universe that supports its football program with the gusto of the University of Ala by God Bama…really. What other school would have the consummate gall to put “having championship football” in its mission statement?
Hell, Jimbo can’t even get out of the ACC.
Except in 2013 when he won an NC with a team where every single starter was drafted. All 22.
Gawd, yer right, how quickly I chose to forget. I am suitably chastened.
Georgia is one of 3 teams in the East that expect to compete for the SECE Title most every year. Next year is no exception.
Kirby’s going to get it done.
You’re being optimistic PTC, seems like that’s not a very popular view to have around here nowadays.
Medium leap tripped up by occasional coaching learning curve events:
-Clock management trip up
– ‘Impose your will’ mentality that ends up playing against personnel strengths
– Critical bad call on offense
– Over coaching on D that leads to a devastating penalty
I expect an SEC east championship, but with perhaps some needed help from other east teams.
I expect a loss to UF until I see the rise of a game changer like Jarvis Jones. UT will be a shootout and I’ll be left wondering what happened to the high octane offense a few weeks later when they struggle due to the ‘impose your will’ mentality.
We will see flashes of greatness from the new kids that will leave us wanting more in 2018.
That’s what I expect. Would be ecstatic to be proven wrong on any or all of the above statements (except the SEC east prediction of course).
Let me add that a Group of Six Bowl would be a nice touch..we haven’t been to a bowl of that magnitude since the 07 Season…unless my memory is failing me.
Expecting a step in the right direction. The main concer being that, yes we have some awesome recruits coming in on the O-Line….but does anyone really expect them the perform at an elite level until year two?
The defense will be as nasty as we’ve seen in 10 years.
Eason will make a significant jump in year two.
Chubb and Michel are an obvious advantage.
Receiving corps will have more experience.
But that O-Line????
Expect 9-10 wins with a good shot at winning the East and a close loss in the SECCG due to a nasty Defense and an Ine that just can’t push us over the finish line. 2018 will be the year I expect a slot in the playoffs.
South FL Dawg
Max 1 loss
Win the weak SEC east
Don’t get embarrassed in the Dome
Squatch
Expect much improvement and making it to Atlanta unless there’s some major implosion. I still think Kirby’s model will yield results so I won’t be jumping off the wagon though if this doesn’t happen.
The wild card is Eason. I want to see him improve on accuracy and check downs. I can do without another season of Sony and/or Chubb jumping up and down in the flat waiving their arms with nobody with 30 yds of them.
No expectations or opinions until Jacksonville 2018. We’ll know for sure by then. As far as getting to Atlanta and losing this year or any year, there is no bigger screwover in college football than to be the loser of the SECCG. If you don’t play in it and are the next highest ranked team, you get a New Year’s 6 bowl. The SEC gives no shits about teams that aren’t from Florida or Alabama. Thus I give no shits about any teams that aren’t UGA.
dawgtired
The suspense of the season is one of the things that makes college football so great.
I believe we should be equal or better in all areas of the team.
QB – will be more experienced and possibly pushed by the next guy.
DL – will be more experienced and should be better
DB – many coming back with experience and pushed with new talent coming
WR – see DB
RB – needs no comment
OL – here is the big question and concern – we would have to expect to be better just because we stuck so bad this year. Pittman will have another year with the current players and the influx of all the new-improved talent coming. This will be were the offensive coaches prove they earned their pay.
K – who knows. it’s such a fickle part of the game.
We should be able to claim wins against App St and Samford now (hope I don’t regret saying that)
The trip to South Bend could be tricky but they didn’t have the best year themselves. Their best win was against Miami.
I won’t claim a win at UF until I see one.
Even though we struggled with UK and Mizzu and lost to Vandy this year I expect us to be MORE improved than they will ber next year.
USC and MissSt had bad years and I didn’t see anything to make me think they’ll improve by more than UGA.
Auburn, GaTech and UT seem to be the 3 games that could make or break the season…although I expect UT to struggle with the change at QB and we seem to have Auburn’s number. Tech is Tech.
I will go with a 10-win season but don’t know which 2 to pick as losses. All are winnable but many are lose-able. September can’t get here quick enough.

We should win the east. We didn’t fire a 9-10 win/coach, and excellent human being, for a 4-5 year rebuilding job. Considering the state of the east, winning the division isn’t expecting too much, either.
We were in a rebuilding job either way.
artful codger
If offensive philosophy and offensive line play jell, and if better supported by sideline management, I would expect to play in the new dome in early December. And that would suit me just fine heading into ’18.

If we lose to any team from the State of TN next year ,I’m going to be harder on Smart than I already am. (2) I thought we hired Smart so we could compete with the Process not just concede that we’ll never beat them in the Championship game. (3)The goal is to win the SEC and let everything else take care of itself…that has been the goal since Dooley.

right now the SEC East pecking order is:
Until Smart starts beating those guys, he’s third tier.
NoAxeToGrind
9-3. It takes time to develop an OL, and the verdict has not yet been rendered regarding Chaney/Pittman.
9-3 would be great, I’d take it.
But how do we go from 7-5 to 9-3 with largely the same coaches, same schedule, and same players?
doiknowu
We won’t have to, Consider that UF, UT, and UGA won’t be returning their 2016 lineups intact.
Sorry, hit “enter” before adding that our returning players look to be better than UF’s and UT’s, and our entering class appears (on paper) to be better than theirs.
If UT gets Helfrich for OC, they’ll be the favorite for sure.
I’m surprised the Viles haven’t fired Booch to hire Chip Kelly.
Waiting on Gruden and Peyton to sign on.
I feel we are looking at a 6-6 or 7-5 season. Here’s why I say that.
We are a non-championship team trying to change the entire culture
without any Championships since 1980.
1- Saban struggled at Mich St to do that going 6 or 7 wins for 4 years.
2- Sweeney went from 9 wins down to 6 wins in 2nd year at Clemson.
3- Dantonio went from 7 wins down to 4 in his 2nd year.
4- Harbaugh won 9 games in his first 2 years at Stanford.
My point is it’s tough changing a culture used to non-championships, even for great coaches.
Here’s how most see it:
Top 25 finish in 2017
top 10 in 2018
Win Natl Champ in 2019
Sorry, show me a list of coach’s with that 3 year pattern.
More likely will be like:
6-8 wins in 2017
I don’t see how the heck we could lose the sec east in 2017. It would be a fail of epic proportions.
fu lost their best coach (Collins) and much of their talent. ut lost their entire offensive backfield and a few of their best defensive players. We have 7 returning starters on O, 10 on D, all the ST players except Imac, most of the backups return, and we have a huge recruiting class.
If any other team in cfb was this stocked they’d be in the top 5. But at underachievement U the nation has come to expect screw ups. If we don’t win 10 the whole organization should be scrapped.
Returning players don’t mean a lot if they don’t win but 8 games together.
Saban lost his DC and went undefeated the next season.
Oklahoma, FSU, Michigan, LSU, has good recruits every year and rarely wins a Championship.
It depends on whether Kirby Smart is the HC B-M thought he would be when they hired him or if he is the bozo he looked like during certain games this season. I am hoping for the former but I fear the latter. The former is 10-2 regular season next year. The latter is 6-6.
6-6, yep.
The losses to Vandy, Tech, and Tenn are puzzling, as were some of the close wins.
Could have easily gone 5-7.
Smart did not achieve anything in his first year in wins, for sure.
I don’t know what his record should or would be in 2017 but I do know that any UGA coach that starts his career 0-2 to Florida and 0-2 to GT will not have a long career. If by some total freak of the fates he should also lose to Vanderbilt again, he will not get to 2018. He took a team that lost some good players and was 10-3 and managed to totally waste the best backfield tandem we have had since Worley and Henderson and through stupid play calling on offense and the worst red zone defense in college football win 8. Tell me when the damn OC finally called the right runs for our offensive line in the TCU game it didn’t make you slap your forehead. 2015 and 2016 were the worst offenses since Ray Goff but at least 2015 won 10 and beat Tech.
Kirby is a stubborn guy with the sideline demeanor of Will Muschamp but apparently not the vocabulary. He better take self control lessons or he will continue to be a great assist coach for somebody sooner rather than later. He can’t continue to “coach the defense” it confuses the players. Why are we paying Tucker?
I know he’s a great recruiter but if he can’t win damn games he is just insuring that his successor will have a great lineup.
By the way Fromm has a better touch on his passes than Jacob. He does not try to knock the receiver down with the ball. Chaney better go back to QB school because I was not impressed with Eason’s matriculation of the ball down field.
I’d say with this AD, Smart could survive a 6-6 season with losses to UF, Tenn, GT, and Vanderbilt.
It’s not an AD who really knows what he’s doing.
Agree on recruiting, so what, 7-5 sux.
Agree on Fromm, hope he gets a real chance, those Stafford/Eason types get a lot of drops trying to impress people with their arm.
The AD will do what the money says do.
Senator, when are you going to post a post-mortem on the entire season?
Sometime in January.

Don’t lose to tech. Ever.
Never ever lose to Tech!
doofusdawg
2016 we averaged 3 touchdowns and a field goal per game. In 2017 if we average 4 touchdowns and a field goal per game we should win the east and have a good year. With the talent we have coming back on both sides of the ball and the easiest schedule in memory, anything less will get Chaney fired and put Kirby on the proverbial hot seat in 2018.
I’m not overly optimistic.
I thought they should have gone 9-3 regular season. Should have won 2 of these 3 home games(UT,Vandy,GT). 10 wins should be doable next year.
Regular season expectation is 9-3 with a good bowl bid.
I will be pretty disappointed if we don’t win the east.
I will be satisfied if nick and Sony have noteworthy success, they deserve to be treated to quality football.
I will be surprised if we win the east being undefeated, but honestly, there is no reason to lose any of our conference games looking at our roster. Kirby needs to embrace the pressure.
The oline will be worse, losing 3 starters and special teams will be worse without IMac.
Same QB, RB’s, TE’s, and WR’s (No All SEC winners this year) who only went 7-5 and average 24 points a game.
Nothing I saw showed me Kirby knows how to play defense in the red zone. Virtually no improvement there all season.
Here’s the 6 potential losses:
Notre Dame,UT, Vandy, Auburn, UF, GT.
And that assumes you get through App State, Miss St, Mizzou, and South Carolina.
Pit Dawg
I know I’m late to the game here, folks, but we need to come to grips with a few things. As I type this, I’m watching Clemson get theirs for the first time in 35 years- and here we collectively sit- still waiting.
I am so sick and tired of the “CMR and the 10 win season argument”. Wins and losses do not tell the whole story here. Since 2008- his teams to put it mildly-underperformed and to be completely honest-sucked with the exception of one year (2012) and he chose not to spike the ball-thus losing all of his capital with the majority of constituents. His teams failed to finish in the top 25 in 4 of his last 7 seasons in Athens. The numbers of players drafted before 09 and after 09 are staggering. The 2013 recruiting class has one NFL player and he went pro in 2015. There’s this incredible misconception that the program was in good shape. It wasn’t. I know The Senator may rip me for this, but we need more realism in our fandom. Most likely another throwaway year may be headed our way- only because what we EXPECT as fans and what the players and coaches are CAPABLE of at this moment are not parallel. This team lost to Vanderbilt and Tech at home, and almost lost to Missouri, Nichols St and Kentucky. Realism stings sometimes. But what I have seen for the last 4-6 years is a collective team that was not all that good. Yes, we’ve had some great individual players who have won us some games. But generally speaking I saw nothing that gave me a confidence in our overall ability to win games we are supposed to, put inferior opponents away early, and compete with superior opponents and occasionally steal a win against them.
I get that there is a glimmer of optimism to hold onto (19 returning starters- easy schedule- the clown circus that is the SEC East to name a few olive branches). But a realistic win total for 2017 is 8-9. In other words, more football purgatory.
The Smart hire is about a total reconstruction of the football program- not some magical quick fix. There were just too many massive deficiencies to expect an immediate turnaround. How fast the program improves is going to be based on how well he accumulates talent and develops the talent into elite players. He learned this “process” from one of the best. If he can’t perform, he will be excused and we will find another poor sucker to try to get us back to the glory days. But the further I grow away from the 10 year old who watched us play on that glorious New Year’s Day I become less and less convinced that it’s possible. Nevertheless, it ain’t next year.
I know The Senator may rip me for this, but we need more realism in our fandom.
Quite the contrary. I’ve noted the “we’re Georgia” attitude that a substantial portion of the fan base subscribes to and found it unrealistic.
That being said, I think you’re overcompensating. Richt certainly had his flaws, some of which were of a magnitude that justified a change, but “massive deficiencies” over the past 4-6 years? Come on, man, there were two trips to the SECCG in that time period and the 2013 team would have made a third but for the rash of injuries on offense.
Unless you mean by that phrase “not in the same league as Alabama”. But it’s not like Georgia was alone in that regard.
Don'tStandSo
Next year will be a disappointment and the year after and the year after that and so forth and so on until Kirby is fired. Kirby has no clue what he is doing. Hopefully, we will hire a proven head coach from a smaller school next time, not another untested coordinator.
RLJ
Improvement–possibly an Eastern Division title–but no conference title. At least 10 wins. It is year 3 of the Kirby era that I say championship or bust.

← The genius’ last tough sell
“We’ve got some CEOs new to this environment with angry sports blogger mob…” →
December 6, 2018 · 7:45 AM
“But other than that I came here to be a quarterback.”
The SEC requires that all players be made available to the media after the conference championship game, which meant that the media got its first crack at Justin Fields this season. That, in turn, meant the media got to touch the third rail of Georgia football — Fields’ future plans.
He handed it diplomatically, which I would think wasn’t the easiest thing to do, considering his team had just lost a heartbreaker and that he was a key part of a play that was certainly a factor in the loss.
Seth Emerson ($$) explores the question thoughtfully here. My impression of Fields is that he is an immense physical talent, something that was clearly on display in the UMass game, but that he is going through a transition of learning how to play in a pro-style offense. What Seth does a good job of bringing out is that such a transition was a feature for Fields in picking Georgia in the first place.
“I feel like we probably added a few plays, a few formations for me. But other than that I came here to be a quarterback,” Fields said. “We run a pro-style offense. If I want to play at the next level, this is the type of offense they run. So I kind of knew that before I was coming here.”
I assume the coaches have been straight with him throughout the learning process. I also assume that it’s obvious to everyone concerned that Fromm has good command of Georgia’s offense already and, post-LSU fretting by the fan base/media aside, won’t be supplanted by another quarterback whose grasp of the offense isn’t as strong, skill set notwithstanding. Fields himself sounds like he knows that.
“Jake, he’s a great quarterback,” Fields said. “He’s probably the smartest quarterback that I’ve been around in my whole life. You’ve got to give it to him. I’m just going to continue to learn from him to get better.”
If Fields were to decide to jump ship after the bowl game, he’d have to sit out a season. I would also expect that Kirby would have a list of schools, starting with other SEC programs, from where Fields would be blocked from transferring. So unless he wants to go Juco for a year, that makes starting in 2019 anywhere else an iffy proposition anyway. Seth notes that the ideal scenario for all concerned would be for Fromm’s improvement to continue such that going pro after next season would be the logical course of action for him. But who the hell knows as we sit here if that’s how things play out? I doubt even Fromm knows for sure.
Fields knows he’s at a program that’s invested in his future as a starter. The question is whether Georgia’s timetable for that matches his own.
69 responses to ““But other than that I came here to be a quarterback.””
When the kid is ready, he’ll be unstoppable.
Right now I see too much Shockley: overthinking and trying too hard with limited reps.
That said, when 11 is on, he’s probably the best we’ve seen.
Nobody and I mean nobody has performed out of an empty set vs. Alabama. Jake did tho.
Dawg Vegas
I agree with all of this. What Fields said made sense, and I hope it holds
Ease your way in learning it from one of the best or get thrown in there to sink or swim?
That’s the choice.
Should have redshited. CKS / CJC botched Fields this year, IMO.
If a redshirt wasn’t ever in the plan, should have given him “live bullets” in the second half of blowout games and not let him hand it off to Prather Hudson into the line over and over and over.
In this day and age I think that’s probably Fields’ call to make.
If he wants to preserve 2 years, CKS would let him. CKS isn’t going to make him.
JG Shellnutt
If you redshit, I would recommend a colonoscopy
Got Cowdog
You’re overreacting JG. It was probably the chicken wings.
etdf
Thank you both for a laugh this morning.
LOL! My Kingdom for an edit on WordPress
No edit! Otherwise when are we going to see good snark like that?
Good news is he can still redshirt.
or redshit
Those wings are still and option, yes.
Redshitting would be even more likely if the wings weren’t actually still (i.e., dead). Not sure how to interpret also being “option.” Be that as it may, good times on the typo front!
Go Dawgs!
Justin Fields will not be spending five years in Athens. That’s simply not in his plan. It’s possible that he’d stick around for his one year in charge after Fromm exhausts his eligibility like DJ Shockley did. But four years in Athens is the max that a player of Fields’ caliber is going to be prepared to spend. After that, it’s time to go get paid, and good on him for it. I suspect Kirby knows that.
I’ll add that if Fromm isn’t good enough to jump to the pros after 3 years as the starter than he never will, and that if after 2 years on campus Fields can’t beat out a not draftable Fromm then he isn’t going pro either.
In the NFL, it’s better to get pay and stay rather than be one and done.
Keep learning the offense and stay healthy.
Bat City Dawg
I hope he turns out to be as great as the UMass flash and the practice observations have made him out to be. There are no sure things though in regards to making it to the league. There is plenty of precedent for a recruit of his caliber to be both a huge success across both levels, as well as to not make it. We all certainly hope the former is true.
What did playing JF1 (and using him the way we did) accomplish for the team and him this season?
Provide evidence that he isn’t ready, would be my guess
We won’t know until next year.
Tony Barnfart
I get the “Knowshon Moreno” mistake, but at the Quarterback position I have a hard time believing that a kid could go from not-ready to early entry after a redshirt sophomore year. Because that’s the argument. Keep in mind also how impossible that would be if he couldn’t unseat Fromm.
Because if he can’t unseat Fromm (a 4yr guy), but is somehow himself convinced he’s no more than a 4 yr player, then he’s still only looking at 1 yr to play. So whether that’s a true Sr year or a redshirt Jr year is irrelevant. Hindsight is 20-20 but in a perfect scenario, it would have been nice to figure out how ready he was within the 4 game redshirt window. Then everybody would have more options and much less awkward pressure.
ASEF
Is Jake going to be willing to surrender the sort of playing time Fields will need next year to grow as a player? Alabama managed it this year. Tua sat the equivalent of 3 games over the regular season.
It really just comes down to how willing the players are to get better in practice and share the limelight. And most of them aren’t.
Looking at the schedule next year I can see several games that should be well in hand by the mid 3rd or 4th qtr, use a similar rotation as Bama did this year with Tua and Hurts.
Not rocket science. Fields is backup again next season. If he only plays in 4 games it’s a redshirt year and he loses no eligibility. If Jake goes pro Fields is the starter in ‘20 with 3 seasons of eligibility. If Jake stays, Fields is the starter in ‘21 with 2 seasons of eligibility.
Also, Fields had solid grades in HS and early enrolled, so he should be able to grad transfer after 3 years.
RandallPinkFloyd
Highly doubt he’d redshirt. One way or another, he’s not spending five years in Athens.
why ? what has Justin Fields shown us IN COLLEGE that makes him so special ? At some point, his Rivals ranking becomes irrelevant. I saw a kid this year that needs a ton of work. So either the coaches who had Fromm ready as a Freshmen suddenly forgot how to coach or this entire situation is approaching the delusional.
Or he’s only been playing QB for 3 years and needs more time to develop. Not sure about you, but I saw a kid with all the tools that has put the ball on the money when he makes his decision. He clearly just needs more time as he opts to tuck it and run too often. He’s not spending 5 years in Athens, sorry that you think that’s delusional.
Michael L. Murphy
Fields obviously believes that his maturation is enhanced by being around Fromm
willypmd
Last Iblooked Jake was projected as the #2 pick in the 2020 draft behind Tua, after last Saturday, I wonder if that is flipped.
Regardless, I think most likely scenario is Jake leaves after next season and Fields adopts the keys to a Bentley for his junior season.
I actually think the QB management was pretty solid given we had no back up plan if Fields got hurt. I was not a fan of giving him snaps in the SEC championship game
Hobnail_Boot
Whoever asked him those questions ought to be embarrassed. Georgia just lost a heartbreaker. I get that access to him has been unavailable until that point, but delving into (creating?) that narrative is low rent.
Kudos to Fields for handling it like a veteran. He’s clearly a sharp kid.
“..Fields for handling it like a veteran. He’s clearly a sharp kid.”
You got it all wrong. Fields is “a natural” with “amazing instincts”.
Fromm is a “gym rat” and “another coach on the field”
I thought coaches couldn’t block kids from transferring anywhere with the new rules. Or is that just for grad transfers?
202dawg
Pretty sure it’s the latter.
ATL Dawg
My problem is with the way they used Fields. Against the bad teams, it was mostly mop up duty late in the game, handing off, and killing the clock. That did nothing for his development. Against the good teams, they randomly threw him out there for one play here and there, just to have him run the ball without any intention of letting him throw it. That hurt them against LSU when the offense had absolutely no rhythm and they abandoned the non-Fields running game.
All of this severely bit them in the ass on the fake punt against Bama when he was put in a really difficult situation and was nowhere close to being prepared to handle it.
The coaching staff handled his in-game development horribly this year and they deserve even more criticism than they’re getting.
This is a very fair point. Good work. It’s a question worth asking the staff…
exactly. it isn’t really his fault he has no idea what to do when he is thrown in there randomly at this point. with the backup qb we have retained the Richt era’s penchant for simply handing it off and hoping guys magically get better.
if we didn’t trust fields at 28-7 in first half against GA Tech.. then we didn’t trust him enough to scare the field against Bama, no matter the situation
Dawgwalker07
I don’t think the Tech game was a lack of confidence in Fields, I think it was a tune up for the next week and the staff wanted to make sure the first team was firing on all cylinders before facing Bama.
dawgfan
I imagine the staff would say they see practice every day and they know what Fields can and can’t do at this point.
IF they said that, my response would be this…
If practice is just as (or more) important than the games, then why make a concentrated effort in games to play as many young guys as you can, as often as you can, at every other position? And why constantly talk about how important it is to get those young guys lots of quality playing experience for the purposes of developing them and building team depth?
Quality game experience matters tremendously. They say it all the time.
It’s common sense. If he was ready or it was warranted they would play him more. You’re right, Kirby doesn’t hold anybody back.
Totally agree.. one play here and there does nothing to develop him. He runs on the field, blood pressure up and adrenaline pumping, then has to perform his reads? That’s a tough proposition. Give him an opportunity to run a series.. 3 and out or 12 plays but would rather him play 1 series than 5 single plays. That’s the only way the game is going to slow down for him, at least that seems logical to me.
Scenario: Barring injuries, Fromm has a solid junior year, but decides to stick around for one more. Fields makes the tough decision to redshirt during his 3rd year and takes over the reigns 2021 with two years of eligibility. At that point Georgia should have two additional solid back ups with a year in the system under their belts in Rhys Plumlee and perhaps the kid from Hawaii, and with the new redshirt rule Fields could still be made available to play in the SECCG and the playoff if Georgia makes it in during his redshirt season.
IF Fromm is a projected top 5 pick, I say he’s gone. Right now he is.
I’ll add to that, “…and we win it all”, then I say he’s gone. Fromm seems like a “finish the drill” kind of guy to me.
All that rah rah stuff is great, till they show you the MONEY…and it will be a lot of MONEY.
That would make things a lot easier.
If we win it all next year, maybe he goes. If not, he comes back for his senior year and another shot. I don’t see him being driven so much by money.
If you’re a top 5 pick and you DONT go, you’re driven by insanity. And your parents are too.
down island way
Looking back at our players that have trusted “the process” (possible juniors to the next level) and have stayed at UGA for their senior years may have started to filter down to the eyes and ears of our younger student athletes to the point of learning and growing has more value than $$$$ or playing time (transfer)…..only time will show that to be true or not, tis an exciting time to be a DAWG….HOW SWEET IT IS!
diving duck
It’s still hard for me to believe he chose Georgia. It’s not 2008 anymore. The NFL has successfully accommodated spread quarterbacks. He could win a Heisman in 2020 if him and Haselwood both go to Oklahoma. Whether he transfers or not the recruits that followed him here accelerated the program’s timeline exponentially.
And having him here kept him from Auburn, Florida, LSU or some other rival, so there’s that…
I thought he was going to Penn State?
Lone Stranger
Maybe Lil’ Jimmy Franklin was of that belief, but …..HOW COULD HE EVER BEAT OUT EX-VANDY COMMIT TRACE McSORLEY!!!l!lll!
I think both QBs have handled a media created “controversy” very nicely.
I agree that Fields was mishandled all year – make me believe “the plan is no plan” that CKS mentioned.
Leading into the LSU game Fromm was feeling the heat from Fields and it showed up big time in Jake’s performance against the Bayou Bengals. The staff knew it too and did what they needed to calm Jake and his performance since LSU has been lights out. Some of the throws he’s making are NFL quality. Fromm is not going to give up his starting role any time soon as long as he plays like he is and we’re winning.
Of all the things I worry about related to Georgia football, this is pretty far down the list.
I get what you’re saying, but for me it’s probably near the top of my Dawg football worry list, simply because the program really appears to be humming along nicely.
Jack Burton
“If he leaves, he leaves.”
Hope everyone makes it work the best they can for themselves and the team.
In my view the time this gets hard is when Jake is deciding whether to go pro or not after next year. I don’t see him being taken high like Stafford and so I don’t know why he’d feel any pressure to go. But a decision to stay would really put pressure on Fields if he doesn’t want to redshirt.
Check around at the “mocks” that are out there for 2020….I’m not sure you opinion carries much weight as to what the eggspurts think.
Could it be that Fields is just not that good? We need a quality QB signee to enroll early to push him.
I think he really is that good, when it comes to the potential he has. It could be that he, his Dad, and his coach knew he needed the polish and skill development he would never get being rushed onto the field in other programs. None of them seem dumb enough to think he was going to just step in and unseat Jake Fromm and felt he could learn the pro style skills he was lacking.
If you take him at his word in that statement he was aware all along he would play very little in year one, and probably year 2 as well. No way to project where he, or Fromm will be at the end of next year. If Fromm stays for his Senior year, it could get very interesting.
Now if Fields is discontented, and made the interview story up, he will bolt in early January. I think he stays for one more year at least.
Turning Fields into a pro-style statuesque QB is an utter waste of talent, just as it was with Shockley. It would be an epic travesty if we try to do that.
Fields’s skill set is nothing like Tom Brady, or Drew Brees, or Jake Fromm. You’ve got to get this kid in an offense that allows him to use his mobility.
I’d love it if he remained at UGA, but only if we adjust the offense to better use his talent when he’s in the game. if we aren’t going to adjust for Fields, than this QB situation has the potential to be a source of team acrimony that will be bubbling all the time and boil over if/when Jake has a bad game or Chaney calls plays that waste Fields’s talent.
You either adopt the offense to accommodate Fields, or you let Fields walk and look for a Fromm prototype. You’re not going to turn Fields into ‘Fromm with legs’.
I agree, and I don’t think it takes major changes. Just tweak the offense to have more true RPOs with Fields and give him the option to run or pass. Once he does that and burns some teams, then the play action really starts to open up for him.
I will never understand Fields coming to UGA ! Did he really think he would become the #1 QB? with fromm there? The kid will leave .

Blacklist Royals – Die Young With Me CD (Varese Sarabande)
Vinyl version due July 8. “Blacklist Royals have been through some tough shit in the past few years, including band member Rob Rufus’ battle with cancer. The band’s new record, Die Young With Me, reflects all that struggle. The record is ragged, raw, and rocking, with tracks like ‘Out In The Dark’ and ‘26 And Gone’ examining the impermanence of life through the eyes of Rob and twin brother Nat Rufus.” – A.V. Club
Bloody Hammers – Under The Sun CD/LP (Napalm)
Dark Occult Rock with a pinch of H.P. Lovecraft and Ray Bradbury, Under The Sun is a multilayered album that resembles a classic horror flick from the ‘70s.
Body Count – Manslaughter CD (Sumerian)
Ice-T and cofounder/lead guitarist Ernie C have perfected their mix of thrash, punk and bottom heavy doom across five albums, hitting a zenith with their new album Manslaughter. They embody the monumental SoCal tradition of street born punk bands like Suicidal Tendencies combined with the aggressive aural napalm of Slayer.

Captured Spells – Nausea CD/LP (Captured Tracks)
“While still making moody, atmospheric pop, main man Justin Paul Vallesteros goes for a grander sound this time, with songs layered with strings, wind instruments, mellotron and other keyboards.” – Brooklyn Vegan
clipping. – CLPPNG CD/2xLP+MP3 (Sub Pop)
Despite clipping.’s insistence that they’re really just making rap— not noise-rap, industrial-rap, or any other mashup genre— their music might be more sonically challenging than that of the punkish rap rockers, lo-fi bedroom producers, and street goth hybridists they’ve been lumped with so far.
Ciccone Youth – Whitey Album [Reissue/1988] CD (Goofin’)
CD reissue of quintessential 1988 Top-40 tribute album by Sonic Youth’s 1988 alter ego.
Hollie Cook – Twice CD/LP (Mr. Bongo)

New album from the alt-rock band. As frontman Fred LeBlanc says, ”If The Neville Brothers and The Clash had a baby, it would be Cowboy Mouth.”
Craft Spells – Nausea CD/LP+MP3 (Captured Tracks)
After a dormant period following the release of the Gallery EP in 2012, Craft Spells’ Justin Vallesteros is back with the gorgeously ambitious Nausea. It’s Craft Spells’ second proper full length LP, and first since 2010’s critically acclaimed Idle Labor. Since last on the radar, Justin moved to San Francisco to find a niche in the Bay Area music scene. This proved difficult within the regarded garage rock scene and insular DJ night crowds currently dominating the area’s music community.

Their debut This Generation was critically acclaimed in 2012. Eight tracks from that album are now reworked and dubbed straight to tape by Dub Club founder and producer Tom Chasteen.
Dub Thompson – 9 Songs CD/LP (Dead Oceans)
This young SoCal-based band’s musical influences travel from the Midwestern malaise of Big Black and Pere Ubu, to Kraut pioneers Can and Kraftwerk, while bowing to the British belligerence of The Fall and This Heat.
Kyle Bobby Dunn – Kyle Bobby Dunn & The Infinite Sadness 2xCD/3xLP (Students Of Decay)
Latest from revered Canadian ambient composer is undoubtedly his most focused and emotionally charged work thus far, a rich, expansive collection of slowly unfurling beauty that stretches out over the course of more than two hours. His trademark guitar swells and slow-moving loops feel clearer and have a renewed sense of purpose and poise.
Dust Bolt – Awake The Riot CD/2xLP (Napalm)
Sophomore album from the German thrash metallers.
Equilibrium – Erdentempel CD (Nuclear Blast)
Fourth album by the German folk metal band.
First Aid Kit – Stay Gold CD/2xLP (Columbia)
“Klara and Johanna Söderberg, the Swedish sisters who make up the duo First Aid Kit, learned to love American-heartland alt-roots music when they first heard Bright Eyes. In making their new album Stay Gold, the duo went to the source, traveling to Omaha and working with Bright Eyes producer and Monsters Of Folk member Mike Mogis. (They also sing backup on Conor Oberst’s new album Upside Down Mountain.)” – Stereogum
The Fresh & Onlys – House Of Spirits CD (Mexican Summer)
With surreal nightmares, glistening pop tempered by sinister undertones and even unsettling experimentalism, The Fresh & Onlys’ fifth album is the San Francisco quartet’s most focused and most experimental yet. The material gestated during vocalist Tim Cohen’s isolated stay on an Arizonan horse ranch where he documented dreams in a bedside notebook. The resultant songs are by turns pristine, feverish, and bizarre, as they returned to Lucky Cat Studios in San Francisco with Phil Manley to recast the textures, leaps of logic and evocative character of Cohen’s dreams into songs. Vinyl version due June 24.
Greg Ginn And The Taylor Texas Corrugators – Gumbo And Holy Water CD (SST)

Remastered reissue of a Swedish death metal classic.
Half-Handed Cloud – Flying Scroll Flight Control CD/LP (Asthmatic Kitty)
Half-handed Cloud’s Flying Scroll Flight Control presents Dada interior-architectural songs, in the mode of Kurt Schwitters’ Merzbau, the sound of Robert Rauschenberg’s cardboard combines, interrupted by Futurist noise intoner music of collision. They’re integrated with the radiant flicker of Stan Brakhage’s domestic/personal 1960s art films, the mechanized music of Conlon Nancarrow, Mister Rogers’ avant-garde children’s operas, and the methods of grunge-era home-taping alchemists Eric’s Trip, with scriptures giving voice to the unknown.
Paul Hardcastle – The Jazzmasters VII CD (Trippin N Rhythm)
Urban substructures layered with sexy yet subtle grooves, punctuated with perfectly placed notes and vibrations create the perfect flow of ambience as you depart on this soothing musical journey, a one way ticket to pure pleasure. This is pure ear candy that will provide that rush of sweetness yet is high in nutritional content, satisfying and full flavored.
Hellyeah – Blood For Blood CD/LP (Eleven Seven Music)
“With the acrimonious departure of longtime members Greg Tribbett and Bob Zilla, Hellyeah have discovered new fuel for the fire. Blood For Blood is punchy and vitriolic, full of unforgiving tracks like ‘Soul Killer’ and ‘Say When,’ the latter featuring Vinnie Paul’s most acrobatic drumming since Pantera.” – Revolver Magazine
Hor – Can’t Make It Up CD (SST)
Fifth release from the hardcore/techno/guitar hybrid.
Chrissie Hynde – Stockholm CD/LP (Caroline)
The Pretenders frontwoman’s debut solo album, recorded in Stockholm with guests Neil Young & John McEnroe. Includes “Dark Sunglasses.”
José James – While You Were Sleeping CD/LP (Blue Note)

Killwhitneydead – Suffer My Wrath CD (Tribunal)
New release from the North Carolina-based metalcore band, their first new material since 2007. Entering their twelfth year of existence, Killwhitneydead’s origins are deeply rooted in the early deathcore scene, but on this album, the group steps away from the genre’s stylistic confines, creating something much more alluring.
Lunchbox – Lunchbox Loves You CD/LP (Jigsaw)
This is pure bubblegum pop with lots of Dreampop influences – imagine if Rocketship were covering ’60s AM radio classics to get a feel of where Lunchbox are coming from.
Lust For Youth – International CD/LP+MP3 (Sacred Bones)
International is Hannes Norrvide’s magnum opus, and with Fisher’s production and Rahbek’s co-writing skills, the potential this band has always shown has been fully realized, it is a buoyant synth-pop masterpiece on par with early Depeche Mode. Vinyl version adds remixes (via MP3 download) by Chelsea Wolfe, Helm, Total Control, Silent Servant and Cult Of Youth.
Mars Red Sky – Stranded In Arcadia CD/LP (Listenable)
Mars Red Sky stoke the fire of a voodoo mass with their 70’s old school riffs and their psychedelic groove. Julien Pras, well known for the pop magnificence of his studio session with Calc, was secretly dreaming of Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin and was also sharing these musical fantasies with drummer Benoit Busser and noisy bass player Jimmy Kinast. The three of them make a melodic stoner music using heavy reverbs.
Mayday X Murs – Mursday CD (Strange)
New collaboration between L.A. rapper Murs and Mayday, the Miami-based hip-hop band with two lead rappers: Wrekonize and BernzIt.
Mayhem – Esoteric Warfare CD/2xLP (Season Of Mist)

New album from the AOR mainstays. Available in Regular and Deluxe editions. Deluxe includes one additional track plus a bonus DVD.
O.A.R. – The Rockville LP CD/LP+MP3 (Vanguard)

Officer! – Dead Unique CD/2xLP (Blackest Ever Black)
Recorded in 1995, Dead Unique is a lost classic of English art-rock, and the crowning achievement in the career of its mercurial creator, Mick Hobbs. Londoner Hobbs’ roots are in the fecund RIO scene of the late ’70s and early 1980s, initially as guitarist in The Work (alongside Bill Gilonis, Rick Wilson and Henry Cow’s Tim Hodgkinson), and subsequent related groupings The Lowest Note, The Lo Yo Yo, and The Momes.
Passenger – Whisper CD/2xLP+MP3 (Nettwerk)
Recorded in Sydney and co-produced by Chris Vallejo, Whispers is comprised of 11 tracks that tell tales – some real, some imagined – of love, death, growing up and getting old. A master of story telling, Passenger yet again strikes the perfect balance between the heartbreaking and the humorous, all wrapped in beautiful instrumentation, creating a sumptuous, symphonic sound. Vinyl version adds a bonus discs featuring acoustic tracks.
The Phantom Band – Strange Friend CD/LP (Chemikal Underground)
The Phantom Band return after three and a half years with their third album Strange Friend. The album doesn’t have one firm concept at its root but several, infused with multiple meanings it reflects the constant percolation of voices within the Scottish six-piece, all jostling for their say.
Quantic – Magnetica CD/3xLP (Tru Thoughts)
Magnetica is the first studio album from Quantic under his main solo moniker since An Announcement To Answer in 2006. He has, of course, been far from quiet in the intervening years, with releases from many acclaimed side-projects including The Quantic Soul Orchestra, Quantic and his Combo Bárbaro, Quantic & Alice Russell, Flowering Inferno and Ondatrópica, and a host of thrilling shows to match.
Rebelution – Count Me In CD/LP (Easy Star)
New album from the DIY reggae band.
The Rippingtons – Fountain Of Youth CD (eOne)
Rippingtons leader Russ Freeman returns with a collection of guitar driven songs.
Roll The Dice – Until Silence CD/2xLP+CD (Leaf)
Until Silence marks a monumental shift for Roll The Dice. The characteristic framework of piano and synthesizer is reinforced with a newly conscripted string section: dramatic arrangements grind against furnace blasts of static, and phases of unrelenting rhythmic intensity collapse into moments of frayed, fragile beauty. The Stockholm-based duo’s most powerful and nuanced work to date is by turns harrowing and searching, pushing their sound to monolithic, foundation-shuddering heights of ambition and scale.
Say Anything – Hebrews CD (Equal Vision)
Say Anything has been making odd, unclassifiable indie rock music since they were 14 or 15 years old, playing strangely literate and loud rock, characterized by what one might imagine if Larry David fronted a Fugazi cover band with the members of Queen. Not that that’s a stretch or anything. Vinyl version due June 17.
Sole & DJ Pain 1 – Death Drive CD (Black Canyon)
Death Drive is a collision of two distinct worlds: the scorched-earth-of-indie-rap legend Sole and the concrete jungles of certified platinum producer DJ Pain 1. Combining modern pop/rap aesthetics with a political edge reminiscent of hip-hop classics like Fear Of A Black Planet, the duo employs the golden era hip-hop approach of a rapper and DJ without resorting to gimmicks or clichés typical of more formulaic two-turntables-and-a-mic unions.
Sonic Youth – Daydream Nation [Reissue/1988] CD/2xLP+MP3 (Goofin’)
Post-punk milestone, back in print on vinyl in its original form. Includes download and poster.
Stagnant Pools – Geist CD/LP+MP3 (Polyvinyl)
Sophomore album release from this Indianapolis-based duo; shoegaze-meets-noise pop comparing to Joy Division, Sonic Youth and the Strokes. Available on CD and clear vinyl with download.
Tesla – Simplicity CD (Tesla Electric Co.)
Simplicity marks a return to the homegrown roots from one of America’s true rock & roll bands.
Testament – Dark Roots Of Thrash CD/CD+DVD (Nuclear Blast)
New live set from the thrash originators, recorded in February 2013 at The Paramount in Long Island, NY, spans 20+ songs from their lengthy history.
This Wild Life – Clouded CD (Epitaph)
This Wild Life is an acoustic duo from Long Beach, CA. Writing songs that mine the same emotional territory as City And Colour, they have created a sound, vibe, and presence that sets them apart from their stripped down peers. Vinyl version due June 24.
Tombs – Savage Gold CD/LP (Relapse)
Tombs’ third album is one of the most anticipated underground metal album of 2014. The band’s sophomore LP Path Of Totality unanimously topped 2011 end of the year metal lists (everyone from Decibel to Pitchfork to NPR, and more, dubbed it their top album of that year). Savage Gold focuses the awesome strength of Tombs’ previous works into one brilliantly dark post-punk and extreme black-metal masterpiece.
Trap Them – Blissf**ker CD/LP (Prosthetic)
45+ minutes of an unrestrained, unmedicated, unapologetic display of depression, desperation and blasphemy.
Walter Trout – The Blues Came Callin’ CD/CD+DVD/LP (Provogue)
Recorded throughout 2013 and early 2014, The Blues Cam Callin’ features 12 new songs including 10 originals. Walter appropriately covers John Mayall for the occasion, as he was a member of the Bluesbreakers. Available in Regular and Deluxe editions. Deluxe adds a bonus DVD.
Alexander Turnquist – Flying Fantasy CD/LP (Western Vinyl)
As an accomplished 12-string guitarist/composer, Alexander Turnquist’s latest full-length Flying Fantasy confirms the idea that out of great hardship can come great art. As he wrote the material for the new album it became clear that his sensitivity had sharpened, his empathy magnified, and his sense of purpose blossomed. The unfortunate circumstances he endured ostensibly forced his metamorphosis from a remarkable guitar player to a truly great composer. Much like the butterflies that adorn the album cover, he seems to have changed form and taken flight.
Umphrey’s McGee – Similar Skin CD/LP (Nothing Too Fancy)
New album from the prog/jam band. “As for the music, Bayliss explains: “In the past, we’ve done the whole melting-pot album, where there’s a rock song, and then there’s a mellow acoustic song, and then there’s a jazz thing, and then there’s a prog thing—just bouncing all over the place. This time, we specifically went in with a song list where, genre-wise, it was all pretty much straight-ahead rock.” – Relix
Uriah Heap – Outsider CD (Frontiers)
Outsider is Uriah Heep’s 24th studio album which follows the untimely passing of bass player Trevor Bolder in May 2013.
Vader – Tibi Et Igni CD (Nuclear Blast)

Valley Of The Sun – Electric Tallons Of The Thunderhawk CD (Fuzzorama)
Cincinnati, OH natives Valley Of The Sun are a power trio in the truest sense. Originally formed in June of 2010, the band started with the intention of pushing the boundaries of stoner rock in a new direction.
Various Artists [Fatboy Slim] – Fatboy Slim Presents Bem Brasil 2xCD (Astralwerks)
Combining his love for music and soccer, Fatboy Slim delivers a lovingly curated collection of music encapsulating the soundtrack to this year’s World Cup. Bem Brasil (roughly translated as “Very Brazil”) pays homage to Brazilian music and culture both on and off the dance floor.
Various Artists – 1970s Algerian Folk & Pop CD/LP (Sublime Frequencies)
Heavy and psychedelic rock, dark and moody folk-pop and stoic cinematic tracks.
Jack White – Lazaretto CD/LP+MP3 (Columbia/Third Man)
Jack White’s new album is most notable for the vinyl version, which boasts the following: Two vinyl-only hidden tracks hidden beneath the center labels, one hidden track plays at 78 RPM and one plays at 45 RPM, making it a “three-speed” record; Side A plays from the inside to the outside of the disc; Dual-groove technology (the record plays an electric or acoustic intro for “Just One Drink” depending on where needle is dropped. The grooves meet for the body of the song); Matte finish on Side B, gives the appearance of an un-played 78 RPM record; Both sides end with locked grooves; Vinyl pressed in seldom-used flat-edged format; Dead wax area on Side A contains a hand-etched hologram by Tristan Duke of Infinity Light Science, the first of its kind on a vinyl record; Absolutely zero compression used during recording, mixing and mastering; Features a different running order from the CD/digital version.

Wife – What’s Between CD/LP (Tri Angle)
To many, What’s Between will be viewed simply as the debut solo album by Irish singer songwriter James Kelly, aka Wife, but to fans of the critically acclaimed metal band, Altar Of Plagues, this album marks the return of a much-admired talent.
Wreck & Reference – Want CD/LP (The Flenser)
Since their inception in 2011, California-based heavy experimental duo Wreck And Reference has (de)constructed a manifesto of post-genre misanthropy using only drums, vocals and electronics. A handful of unorthodox and captivating releases have turned heads of critics and fans alike, and live, the band is crushing.
DVD + Blu-ray:

Bo Ningen – III 2xLP (PIAS, America)

HQ-180gm vinyl reissues now available.
Clutch –Robot Hive/Exodus 2xLP (Weathermaker Music)
Up until now, Clutch’s Robot Hive/Exodus was never available on vinyl. This double-LP is remastered and comes in a redesigned gatefold package.
Alice Coltrane – A Monastic Trio [Reissue/1968] LP (Superior Viaduct)
A Monastic Trio, created in the year following her husband’s passing, is Coltrane’s first recording as a bandleader and features six original compositions. While John’s spirit can be felt throughout—from the song titles (“Ohnedaruth” was his adopted Hindu name) to the personnel (Jimmy Garrison, Rashied Ali, and Pharoah Sanders were frequent collaborators)—the album showcases Alice’s immense talent for fusing spiritual free jazz and new age with classical, Eastern, post-bop and gospel.
The Constantines – Shine A Light [Reissue/2003] LP+7”+MP3 (Sub Pop)
Reissue The Constantines second full-length and first for Sub Pop; an ambitious record combining a steady diet of ‘90s DC rock (like a Joe Strummer fronted Fugazi) with dub-inflected bass, blue-eyed soul, and a punk aesthetic. Includes bonus 7″ featuring tracks from a pair of CD singles from the same era.
Cradle Of Filth – Total F**king Darkness LP (Shellshock)
Recently released on CD – now available on vinyl. Remastered released of the infamous third demo from British extreme metallers, recorded in 1993 and expanded with bonus tracks.
Don Caballero – Five Pairs Of Crazy Pants. Wear ‘Em: Early Caballero LP+MP3 (Chunklet)
December 1991. Mere months into their existence, a three-piece Don Caballero drove to the Carnegie Mellon campus and knocked out 11 songs. On this, their earliest-known studio recording, the nascent Pittsburgh titans crank out jams that would appear in different form on early singles and their Touch And Go debut full-length, For Respect. Two songs would never make it onto a proper record and are here for the first time ever. As a special bonus, the band’s second live show is included as an additional download along with the record.
Filipe Felizardo – Sede e Morte LP+MP3 (Three Four)
Filipe Felizardo has a very personal approach of building his music. Building is the right word here, as his music is so intense that it can be compared to sculpture: rough, soft, massive, ethereal, delicate. With one guitar, he uses the sound to create matter and shape it with melodies. Perfectly balanced between fragility and assertion, “Sede e Morte” pays tribute to great guitar players, with reinterpretation of songs by John Fahey, Peter Green &and Jose Afonso.
Dredd Foole And Ben Chasny – Drunk With Insignificance LP (Feeding Tube)
Dredd’s songs have never sounded better, and Ben (Six Organs Of Admittance) pulls an exquisite raft of riffs out of his sombrero.
Julien Gasc – Cerf Biche et Faon LP (Born Bad)
First solo album from Aquaserge member. Lo-fi indie chanson, with moments of abstraction and psych-weirdness, recorded on a four-track cassette recorder.
Imagho & Mocke – Half Quartet 12”+MP3 (Three Four)
Imagho & Mocke is a duo of French guitarists. Imagho is the solo project of JL Prades, while Mocke (Midget, Holden) chimes along on the Fender Jazzmaster. It lies somewhere between jazz, folk, post-rock, electronica and acoustic music. The compositions are mostly based on guitars (electric and acoustic) with electronic arrangements, field recordings and sounds of any kind. Imagho music is often melancholic, melodic and rich sounds, moods and textures.
Michael Jackson – Xscape LP (Epic)
Recently released on CD – now available on vinyl. Eight never-before-heard tracks executive produced by L.A. Reid, along with other producers including Timbaland, Rodney Jerkins and John McClain.
Leyland Kirby Presents V/Vm – The Death Of Rave (A Partial Flashback) CD/LP (History Always Favors The Winners)
Kirby explains: “The idea for The Death Of Rave was conceived in early 2006 after a visit to the Berghain Club in Berlin. At the time, Berghain was about to explode on the international club scene as a temple. The feeling was in the air that something special was happening. I went and saw a pale shadow of the past. Grim and boring beats, endlessly pounding to an audience who felt they were part of an experience but who lacked cohesion and energy. For me personally, something had died. Be it a spirit, be it an ideal, be it an adventure in sound. Rave and techno felt dead to me. The original The Death Of Rave project was vast, over two-hundred flashbacks, using all of the dancefloor hits from the time and stripping them of energy and spirit, turning them into shadows and ghosts.”
Joe Manning & Joan Shelley – Outside, Stay Outside 7”+MP3 (Karate Body)
“(Manning’s) deep voice is rugged and weary, an uncommon beauty unafraid of exposure and judgment” — Louisville Courier-Journal. “Shelley’s beautiful voice sounds like it belongs to a lost talent from the folk revival of the early ‘60s, and unlike so many women singing similar material, Shelley doesn’t weigh down her lines with florid ornamentation — she shapes her melodies with precision and clarity” — Chicago Reader
Memory Map – The Sky As Well As Space LP (Joyful Noise)
With The Sky As Well As Space, Memory Map continues to flesh out their uniquely guitar-driven blend of indie pop. Using three guitars, a three-piece drum kit, and vocals from all four members, they organically fuse cascading guitar lines, complex rhythms, and layered vocal harmonies into shamelessly accessible guitar pop.
Obsequiae – Suspended In The Brume Of Eos [2011] LP (20 Buck Spin)
Obsequiae crafts meticulous, beautifully harmonic odes to times now passed into legend, conjuring images of a medieval Europe upon which modern life has yet to infringe. Their debut album, Suspended In The Brume Of Eos, harkens back to the pre-wimp-out melodic Scandinavian death metal of the mid 1990s; dark, aggressive, conscious of songcraft foremost and un-intimidated by complexity. New album due later this year.
Rock*A*Teens – A Major Motion Picture 2xLP (Chunklet)
The perfect ‘best of’ collection from the undisputed kings of Cabbagetown! A 22 track, double album of recordings from their first four full-lengths performed live at the Star Bar in 1998 and 1999. “Chris Lopez wrote some of the most eloquent, sardonic, romantic, and, well, basically the best rock & roll songs of the 1990s. His band wrapped them in a florid southern reimagining of 1950s garage rock that always sounded sloppily, scarily out of control and yet dead serious.” — Will Sheff (Okkervil River)
Roy Orbison – Mystery Girl [Reissue/1989] 2xLP (Sony Legacy)
Recently released on CD – now available on vinyl. In 1989, an era where the charts were dominated by Guns N’ Roses and the New Kids on the Block, the commercial success of Roy Orbison and company was nothing short of impressive. Mystery Girl was a Top 5 hit on both sides of the Atlantic and earned Orbison his first platinum award for over one million albums shipped. This HQ-180gm vinyl reissue includes the original album’s track listing on one LP and nine previously unreleased studio and work-tape demos on the second.
Some Ember – Some Ember LP (Dream)
Cold synthesizers and harsh industrial beats dominate the A-side, while swirling drone and organic percussion characterize the unique second half. The exceptional voices of Dylan Travis and Nina Chase balance the record, their melodies anchoring things firmly in the pop realm.
Son Lux – Alternate Worlds 12” (Joyful Noise)
Son Lux’s new EP reimagines four songs from Lanterns, and includes a collaboration with Lorde. These exquisite reinventions traverse unfamiliar terrain within remembered landscapes. Their world is both alien and familiar.
The Specials – More Specials [Reissue/1980] LP+7” (Rhino)
More Specials is the second album by ska band The Specials, released in October 1980. The album expanded the two-tone sound of their self-titled debut to include lounge music and other influences.
Various Artists – Choubi Choubi: Folk & Pop Sounds from Iraq Vol. 1 2xLP+7” (Sublime Frequencies)
Originally released in 2005, now on double-LP with four additional tracks not featured in the first CD issue and also featuring a bonus 7” in a picture sleeve. Meticulously compiled by Mark Gergis from his archives of Iraqi cassettes and LPs found in Syria, Europe and the Iraqi neighborhoods of Detroit, Michigan and elsewhere within the diaspora, this unique collection of folk and pop styles displays a wealth of outstanding music that is exclusive to Iraq.
Various Artists – Music From Drinking Buddies (A Film By Joe Swanberg) LP (Jagjaguwar)
Soundtrack to the acclaimed indie film Drinking Buddies, which was written and directed by Joe Swanberg (Hannah Takes The Stairs, Alexander The Last, V/H/S). Features tracks from Richard Swift, Cayucas, Richard Youngs, Foxygen, Here We Go Magic, Plants & Animals, Night Beds, The Amazing, Rubblebucket, Barna Howard, and Phedre.
Leslie Winer – Witch LP (Superior Viaduct)
Produced in the twilight of the ’80s in London and originally released on white-label LP with a homemade rubber stamp impression, Witch is the mysterious and powerful debut from poet, artist and musician Leslie Winer. It’s an infectious patchwork of dub beats, tasteful samples and Winer’s sultry blend of spoken word with cool, folksy lullabies that later became popularized by acts such as Massive Attack and Tricky.

In the News: Carmen Fontana Shares Her Insights About Technology
back to all News and Events
With the constant evolution of technology, it’s hard to keep up. But, Carmen Fontana, IEEE Impact Creator and Modern Software Delivery expert, stays in the know. Whether it’s about AI, IoT or quantum computing, her expertise allows her valuable insight into the tech industry.
With 2021 kicking off, technology predictions for the upcoming year are important to watch. Carmen shared her top five predictions for the internet of things (IoT) in growing use cases for this new year with TechTarget’s IoT Agenda.
Unsurprisingly, she predicted an increase in the medical use of wearables this year, based on people’s desire to track their health data, thanks to COVID-19.
“The most innovative and socially-minded organizations will aggregate individual data to discover larger population health trends and share their data sets to spur research advancements concurrently within the private, public and nonprofit sectors,” Carmen said.
She also talks about consumer privacy concerns, accessibility of IoT products and benefits to green energy.
Carmen recently contributed to TechRepublic, where she shared her insights into the most important technologies for 2021.
The article proposes the most important tech solutions for the year will be artificial intelligence (AI), 5G and the Internet of Things (IoT). The blog continues by discussing how technology helped keep businesses and organizations functioning despite the pandemic. Carmen specifically addresses the remote workforce.
“Things are not going back to the way they were,” Carmen said. “Employees have come to appreciate the flexibility of remote work, and employers are growing accustomed to the cost savings that come with fewer office expenditures. Companies that embrace the change, enabling their employees to be productive and collaborative from anywhere, will see the most gains.”
IEEE Transmitter recently featured Carmen in an article where she spoke about keeping the factory workforce safe during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The article spotlights three IEEE members or fellows, sharing their expertise about the tech world and how different technologies can improve factory safety. Carmen addressed robotics and IoT technologies.
“IoT can also be used to determine the density of employees in a given area. Areas that show unacceptable levels of congregation can be re-engineered to better space out employees and potentially limiting the spread,” Carmen said.
Carmen Fontana co-leads our Modern Software Delivery practice, as well as coordinates our Artificial Intelligence offerings across the company. With nearly twenty years of experience, her passion lies where the business meets the technology. She has a Bachelor’s in Systems & Control Engineering and a Master of Engineering in Computer Engineering from Case Western Reserve University. She also has completed the Microsoft Professional Program in Data Science. Carmen is a member of Rutgers University Design Thinking Advisory Council. Follow Carmen on Twitter.

Chhabra & Gibbs, P.A. > Chhabra Gibbs & Herrington PLLC > Mass Torts & Class Action Practice Areas > Elmiron
Elmiron is utilized to treat a condition known as interstitial cystitis, better known as “painful bladder syndrome.” It is also prescribed for osteoarthritis in humans as well as elderly dogs and horses. At one time, Elmiron was used as an anticoagulant, similar to warfarin, but with a weaker effect. In 2018, an article was published by the American Academy of Ophthalmology in which the authors wrote about six patients treated at Emory Eye Center between 2015 and 2017 who experienced pigmentary maculopathy of unclear cause following chronic exposure to Elmiron (pentosan polysulfate sodium) for interstitial cystitis. In 2019, one of the authors issued an update writing that ten patients at Emory Eye Center had been diagnosed with this same issue.
Maculopathy is a general term referring to any pathological condition that affects the macula, the central portion of the retina upon which visual acuity and sensitivity depends. Types of maculopathy include:
Age-Related Macular Degeneration.
Cellophane Maculopathy.
Malattia Leventinese.
Elmiron Eye Damage Complications
The form of macular degeneration that has been linked with Elmiron is identified as “pigmentary maculopathy of unknown etiology”. It is a macular injury with no known cause. Presentation of the condition differs slightly from one patient to another, but symptoms include any or all of the following:
parafoveal pigmented deposits.
vitelliform deposits.
retinal pigment epithelium atrophy.
Other Elmiron side effects may include:
Difficulty reading
Distorted vision
Issues adjusting to darkness
Vision disturbances
Contact the Law Offices of Chhabra & Gibbs Today
If you or a loved one have suffered vision impairments due to Elmiron, contact us for a free consultation. Contact Chhabra Gibbs & Herrington PLLC today to discuss your case.

An eclectic journal of viewing, combined with thoughts on festivals and more. By Harriet Warman.

My week in film: Iberodocs, Green Room and a Captain America movie
Posted on May 6, 2016 September 8, 2017 by harrietwarman
After a hiatus shaped like Alchemy Film and Moving Image Festival (which I produced), my viewing journal returns with a typical mix of artistic expression and popcorn nonsense. On Wednesday night the third edition of Iberodocs – Scotland’s only dedicated documentary festival and a celebration of Ibero-American cinema – opened at Filmhouse in Edinburgh to a packed audience. Begun as a way to showcase the work of Spanish, Portuguese and Latin-American filmmakers, Iberodocs has quickly developed a dedicated audience, supportive sponsors and a robust and carefully selected programme of films. A lively and welcoming reception at Traverse bar preceded the opening film, Gabo: The Creation of Gabriel Garcia Márquez, a sincere and affectionate biography of the Nobel prize-winning author of One Hundred Years of Solitude. Directed by Justin Webster, the film brings together interviews with Márquez’s friends (Gerald Martin, his biographer; Plinio Apuleyo Mendoza, writer and Bill Clinton no less), peers, family and inspired writers (Juan Gabriel Vásquez), to reflect on the extraordinary life and politics of one the world’s most celebrated literary talents.
A young Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Relying mostly on talking heads interviews, archive and television footage, Gabo chronicles the writer’s early life, student days, journalistic career, romances, his great friendship with Fidel Castro, which seemed to run counter to his anti-communist politics, and is most engaging in the use of interviews with the man himself, which demonstrate his sharp wit and idiosyncratic perspective on life. On receiving the Nobel prize for literature, a journalist asks him, “is this the greatest moment of your life?” to which Márquez replies, “No, that was the day I was born.” Such moments go some way to answer the film’s central question; how did a boy who was born into poverty grow up to be a writer ‘who won the hearts of millions?’ Márquez’s charisma, dedication, and importantly, self-belief emerge as the defining characteristics that allowed the author to have such an impact.
Iberodocs runs until Sunday 8 May and includes the remarkable and very moving, All of Me (Friday 6 May), by Arturo González Villaseñor about the Patronas, women in Mexico who prepare and distribute food to the migrants who pass by on the freight train to the US. The short film programme Looking From Afar (Sunday 8 May) also looks to be an exciting collection of highly personal works from such sharp artistic talents as Salomé Lamas and Ana Vaz.
Anton Yelchin and Alia Shawcat in Green Room
Elsewhere in my viewing, Jeremy Saulnier’s third feature as writer/director, Green Room surpassed my expectations, which were based on some buzz around Patrick Stewart portraying a skin head Nazi in backwoods America. Stewart certainly is suitably chilling in the role of Darcy, but what’s most interesting about Saulnier’s work, as with Blue Ruin, is how, unlike many a director of dark and violent films, he appears not to celebrate violence, but rather, violence occurs due to ingrained social expectations and justifications of power, and is horrific and visceral in a very authentic, non-stylised way. Green Room cinematographer Sean Porter creates a dank, dark atmosphere using very little light, whilst editor Julia Bloch uses neat and clever cuts to keep the pace fraught and the horror efficient.
l-r: Anthony Mackie as Falcon, Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye, Chris Evans as Captain America, Elizabeth Olsen as Scarlet Witch and Sebastian Stan as Winter Soldier in Captain America: Civil War
Finally, this week I saw Captain America: Civil War, which gleefully allows members of the Avengers A and B team (and some other ‘enhanced’) to shine, within excellently choreographed and edited action set-pieces. The film somehow doesn’t convey the ethical complexity of the Civil War comic books, despite the presence of a menacing Daniel Bruhl. It’s also still deeply frustrating to see only three female characters with speaking roles in these films (where’s Cobie Smulder’s Agent Hill?!) and only two women a line-up of super dudes. I’d love to see a Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) origin story, but the possibility of that seems nil.

How to know what young India is thinking? One way is to listen to its contemporary music. Bollywood’s hits tell their own stories. But far from the limelight of commercial success, in small towns and inner cities, also spring up songs and rhythms that have a pulse of their own.
Making their presence felt as performers are a number of young talents. They are rising stars in a hip-hop world of raw Indian realities. Infused in their lyrics and music are their personal histories. They are passionate and bold and flaunt a unique fusion of many influences. Their concerns are caste, communalism, the environmental crisis, free speech, identity, politics and more.
Bringing them out of their social enclaves and into the mainstream is Azadi Records, an independent music label started in March 2017 by Uday Kapur and Mo Joshi.
Kapur, who is 28, used to be a journalist who wrote on South Asia’s underground music scene for VICE India, Sole DXB, Rolling Stones and other magazines.
Thirty-eight year old Joshi was a vocalist in a hip-hop band in the UK and worked with Grammy award-winning labels Ston’d Records and Illa State. He moved to India in 2014 and in 2015 took over desihiphop.com, the world’s largest platform dedicated to South Asian hip-hop.
Once they had met they knew that the one thing they wanted to do together was build a music label that truly represented India. When Kapur was working as a music journalist, he felt that what was being defined as ‘Indian independent music’ was really only being tapped from Mumbai, Bengaluru and Delhi. “That’s not India. So I thought, how do I play my part rather than just be cynical about it? How do I make this change happen?” he says.
They invested their own money and started Azadi Records. Three years down the line their roster has 10 musicians from Srinagar, Calicut, Surat, Delhi and Mumbai. Azadi Records’ musicians sing in Punjabi, Kashmiri, Marathi, Gujarati, Bengali, Hindi, English and Tamil, and across genres of hip-hop, R&B and electronic music.

“We have eight languages across the label. This didn’t happen by chance, we worked to make it happen,” emphasizes Joshi. They have 103 tracks, 27 music videos and 20 million streams to their name.
Why a controversial name like Azadi? “First of all we wanted to give artistes the freedom to put out the music they want to put out. It’s important to provide everyone the access to say what they want to say and deliver their message,” says Joshi.
Kapur explains that the word azadi got stigmatized after Kanhaiya Kumar was slapped with a sedition case in February 2016. He was accused of using the word to demand freedom for Kashmir though he was, actually, talking of azadi from hunger and poverty.
“Any individual who said azadi then was thought to be useless. They might not be talking about Kashmir. They could be talking about farmers’ rights or parking issues, for all you care,” remarks Kapur. Naming the label Azadi Records was an attempt to restore its status.
The idea was also to produce music that was politically conscious and progressive. “Music should evoke thought in people, especially considering the time and space we are living in,” remarks Joshi.
Finding unusual musicians means searching for authentic stories. It means looking where no one else is looking. Kapur and Joshi go to lesser-known music festivals like Haflong in Assam to find talent. Crawling through SoundCloud and their inboxes has also led to some discoveries.
As a result, Azadi Records now has a diverse portfolio of artistes. There is Prabh Deep and Seedhe Maut from Delhi, Ahmer Javed and Ali Safuddin from Srinagar, Swadesi, Tienas, Rak and DJ Blunt from Mumbai, DJ Uri from Surat and Sharan Jayan from Calicut.
Their songs get to the nub of current concerns. “The Warli Revolt”, a song by Swadesi, a hip-hop collective, spoke for the Warli Adivasi community living in the Aarey forest where hoary trees were being axed to make way for a Metro car shed. Environment groups protested. The Supreme Court stepped in and restrained authorities from tree felling in October 2019.

Swadesi went into the Aarey forest and got Prakash Bhoir, the tribal chief of the Warlis, to collaborate with them. The song that emerged has a rhythm and beat that is distinctly tribal. It says:
Hold your development dreams
Back off from our forest
You tempt us with money
To make us your slaves
“Azadi doesn’t make you into a yo-yo rapper,” says 25-year-old M.C. Mawali, aka Aklesh Sutar, of Swadesi. His inclination to music came from his family – Sutar’s father used to play the harmonium. As a young boy in school, he wrote rhythmic poetry. His friends introduced him to hip-hop and rap.
Through their music, Swadesi hopes to challenge the way people are made to think. “We have become like machines blindly believing in so-called facts,” he says. “Art is political first, and a form of entertainment later.”
Swadesi also runs Swadesi Treks, an initiative which organizes camps and treks around Mumbai. Their love for nature and for communities that live in harmony with the environment inspires many of their songs and lyrics.
Prabh Deep, a 26-year-old Punjabi rapper from Tilak Nagar in Delhi, is one of Azadi’s rising stars. Apple Music recently featured him as their spotlight artiste of the month. His song, “Suno”, is about rampant drug abuse in his locality. The video features a boy who bunks school and instead helps a drug dealer. Prabh Deep raps:
Be your own man
Don't follow the herd
You sold your education
Bought a book
Educated yourself
And learnt nothing

“Suno” is one of 12 songs in Prabh Deep’s debut album, Class-Sikh. His lyrics talk of growing up in Tilak Nagar, a locality with a significant Sikh population. Prabh Deep’s grandfather died in 1984 in the anti -Sikh riots, and his third album will explore the trauma that passes from one generation to the next.
So lyrics also reflect the personal histories of music performers. Ahmer Javed from Srinagar relates stories of his childhood in Kashmir. His song, “Elaan”, a jugalbandi with Prabh Deep, is a searing indictment of the powers that rule Kashmir. “My whole childhood has been at war,” he sings.
You know where I come from
Justice they deny it
Violations bring them joy
Prabh Deep hits out at the media in “Elaan”.
Who created this hate in your heart?
By depicting half-truths.
Javed’s album, Little Kid, Big Dreams, is partly autobiographical. Little Kid, Big Dreams, is a heartfelt song about his journey as an introverted child in school to a rapper. He sings:
How are we to feed our families
We are out of business
Our schools don’t open
We were sold by our own
Whom you vote and elect.
Javed came to Delhi when he was 16 and now divides his time between Srinagar and Delhi, so that he can pursue music. Being away from home and missing family events and celebrations is not easy, he says.
When Javed first met Kapur, he felt that talking about Kashmir might not sell. But Kapur encouraged him to speak about his family’s experiences. “I wanted him to rap in Kashmiri and create something for his people first, rather than think about what others might think,” said Kapur.
Javed, who is only 25, believes music and politics are inextricably linked. “If you know people follow you, you can change their minds, educate them, or make them aware. This becomes a responsibility. If someone loves hip-hop, they’ll respond to your message because they love the medium,” he says.

He turned down offers from other music labels and opted for Azadi Records. The two are in sync. “Money is not what I started this journey for. Money will fade away. But I know when I listen to my music when I’m old, I won’t regret it. It’s satisfying to make the music I do.”
Sharan Jayan, 28, is from Calicut in Kerala. His debut album, Triangles, combines classical music with hip-hop and multifarious sounds. The classical influence comes from his family. With Azadi Records he has been able to connect with other singers and music producers. “Creative freedom is everything for an artiste,” he says.
At Azadi Records, Kapur spends months with his musicians to produce an album. It takes time to create music that sounds fresh. Sometimes it means spending time with the musician’s family and understanding where they come from so that the music can truly reflect their story.
Kapur and Joshi’s own sensibilities about the role of musicians define the way they run their venture. “We’re looking for artistes who want to create a legacy through their work rather than those who just want three minutes of fame. We want them to create something that will stand the test of time. Having 20 million views on a music video is one thing, but are people listening to that song after a year?” asks Kapur.
“Fifty years from now, if someone looks back at this era, they will wonder, ‘What were the arts and culture saying? What idea of India did artistes have?’” says Kapur.
But they are careful not to impose any sameness in their range of music. “We don’t treat it like a formula. Each artiste has a different sound.”
Sez on the Beat, aka Sajeel Kapoor, a 25-year-old music producer, played an integral role in producing Azadi’s music. He brought the artiste’s vision to life, and Kapur credits him for enhancing the music their artistes produced. Sez parted ways after working with them for two years.

Right now, Kapur is working with Ali Safuddin, a singer from Srinagar. It took him months to get Safuddin on board and reassure him that his story would be put out as it is. Safuddin’s album will come out this year. At the moment, he has a day job at Red FM.
“We’re not asking them to be someone they’re not,” says Kapur. This freedom is invaluable to performers, who turned down other offers to be part of Azadi Records.
While Kapur works with performers to help develop their music, Joshi handles the bookings and operations. Till a few months back, Azadi Records was a two-person company. They expanded their team recently.
The straight path
In the spirit of building an ethical music label, Kapur and Joshi have upturned some norms of the music industry. The general rule of thumb is that singers relinquish their rights over their music when they sell it to a label. But at Azadi Records, singers own most of their music while the label takes only a small percentage.
“We don’t own any of the music. We publish it, so we lease it from the artiste for, say, five years. If they’re happy with us, they can continue leasing it,” explained Kapur.
This is unheard of in the music industry. Azadi Records is redefining the rules of the game and showing that a music label can do well without exploiting performers.

But producing music isn’t cheap. Azadi Records does not have a fat marketing budget to promote their musicians. None of their artistes have verified accounts on social media despite an impressive body of work.
“We’re growing our enterprise which means we’re investing more than we’re earning,” says Kapur, who jokes they are always short of money. Both he and Joshi haven’t taken a salary for three years.
They earn through a unique 360-degree model. The label manages the singer and the band’s bookings and endorsements and takes a commission. That money is then used to run the company and produce their music.
But getting endorsements is not easy because Azadi’s musicians hold a mirror to Indian society and speak of things that a brand may not like to be seen as promoting, although they attract droves of young fans.
When Kapur was working as a journalist, he noticed that a lot of singers were in fact writing music with a brand partnership in mind. Music labels were seeking such partnerships. An artiste would bring a track to a label and they would begin thinking about which brand could sponsor it.
Kapur and Joshi were determined to change this revenue model. That means they have to work harder at getting endorsements for the kind of music and lyrics that Azadi Records promotes. Sometimes they end up losing money.
Azadi Records finds sponsors among beer brands because their concerts attract a young, club-going audience. Budweiser, Simba and Bira have sponsored their concerts in the past. Others like DC Shoes and Adidas come on board as lifestyle partners, and VICE as a content partner.
Sticking to principles also means they do forgo an opportunity at times. Their musicians were booked to perform at the Pune NH7 Weekender Festival in December 2018. But when organizers of the festival were accused of sexual harassment, Azadi Records decided to pull out of the festival. The music festival attracts large numbers and could have given their performers visibility. It could also have got some brands interested.

Kapur feels they haven’t disrupted the music industry enough. Venues, for instance, remain accessible only to middle and upper class crowds. When rappers like Divine and Naezy, the real life gully boys, perform, children from their low income community aren’t allowed to enter. This kind of profiling happens at their shows too, and there’s not much they can do about it.
“We will disrupt the industry only when we get funding to physically own a piece of real estate and have a venue. The hope is that we will take away audiences from popular venues,” says Kapur.
Youthful followers
Azadi’s singers — cool, intense and so contemporary — appeal to the more discerning youth. They offer an attractive alternative to popular rappers like Badshah, Raftaar and Honey Singh, whose songs are mostly about alcohol, women or club culture.
Shamik Gupta, a 22-year-old law student at Gujarat National Law University, recently saw a short documentary by VICE on Azadi Records and now plans to listen to each artiste one by one. Prabh Deep is among his favourites though he doesn’t always understand the Punjabi lyrics. “It’s the tone that comes through and draws me towards his music,” says Gupta.
Seedhe Maut’s rhythmic gangsta rap about small town aspirations has appeal for many reasons “Their songs are full of josh, they are also great gym songs. They get you going,” says Karan Shinghal, 25 and an entrepreneur.

Shinghal also enjoys Swadesi’s music. He likes the band because they talk of sustainability and environment through their music. “Music has the potential to push people to think about important things."
Azadi’s shows attract large numbers and the atmosphere is electric. It is mostly people below 35 who attend. This has a lot to do with the genre of their songs — hip-hop and electronic music tend to appeal to a younger audience. Many among their audience are also students who spend a lot of time online searching for new music and others who follow the underground rap scene.
“It’s a unique show because of the variety. And it’s amazing because they all support each other on stage and you can see that,” said Alexander Toppo, a recent graduate from St. Xavier’s College, Mumbai.
Azadi Records has paved the way for socially conscious music and given it space in mainstream music. You could say Azadi Records realized the time was right for an enterprise like theirs.

Guard-Reserves
Medal of Honor Citation: Walter C. Monegan, Jr.
By combattales on February 13, 2012 in Korea, Marines, Medal of Honor Citations
Rank and organization: Private First Class, U.S. Marine Corps, Company F, 2d Battalion, 1st Marines, 1st Marine Division (Rein.).
Place and date: Near Sosa-ri, Korea, 17 and 20 September 1950. Entered service at: Seattle, Wash. Born: 25 December 1930, Melrose, Mass. Citation: For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty while serving as a rocket gunner attached to Company F, and in action against enemy aggressor forces. Dug in on a hill overlooking the main Seoul highway when 6 enemy tanks threatened to break through the battalion position during a predawn attack on 17 September, Pfc. Monegan promptly moved forward with his bazooka, under heavy hostile automatic weapons fre and engaged the lead tank at a range of less than 50 yards. After scoring a direct hit and killing the sole surviving tankman with his carbine as he came through the escape hatch, he boldly fired 2 more rounds of ammunition at the oncoming tanks, disorganizing the attack and enabling our tank crews to continue blasting with their 90-mm guns. With his own and an adjacent company’s position threatened by annihilation when an overwhelming enemy tank-infantry force bypassed the area and proceeded toward the battalion command post during the early morning of September 20, he seized his rocket launcher and, in total darkness, charged down the slope of the hill where the tanks had broken through. Quick to act when an illuminating shell lit the area, he scored a direct hit on one of the tanks as hostile rifle and automatic-weapons fire raked the area at close range. Again exposing himself, he fired another round to destroy a second tank and, as the rear tank turned to retreat, stood upright to fire and was fatally struck down by hostile machine gun fire when another illuminating shell silhouetted him against the sky. Pfc. Monegan’s daring initiative, gallant fighting spirit and courageous devotion to duty were contributing factors in the success of his company in repelling the enemy, and his self-sacrificing efforts throughout sustain and enhance the highest traditions of the U.S. Naval Service. He gallantly gave his life for his country.

Are Printers Your Security Weak Spot?
Liz AltonFebruary 1, 2019
Does your organization have networked printers? If the answer is yes, they may be one of your organization’s most critical—and most overlooked—cyber security weak spots.
The Ponemon Institute is one of the leading organizations conducting research in the cyber security space, and independent research they conducted suggests that a single data breach costs brands an average of $3.86 million. More alarmingly, HP research revealed that just three out of five companies include printers in their end-point security plans.
Can you afford to overlook printer security?
Are Networked Printers Really Vulnerable?
In today’s fast-evolving security landscape, IT leaders have many cyber security threats to consider. It’s not just the company’s most important servers or cloud-based storage solutions that represent a threat. All end points—from smartphones to network printers—are a potential gateway into your network.
However, IT teams may not be as concerned or prepared as they need to be with respect to their printers. HP research shows that only 16% of IT professionals are concerned that their networked printers could be making their companies vulnerable to cyber attacks. And at least 16% of attacks reported by those same companies came through their printers. The researchers suspect that the number of printer-based attacks may be underreported, due to these devices being monitored less than PCs and mobile devices.
What Kinds of Security Solutions Exist and How Are They Being Used?
Digging deeper into the research shows that there are a variety of end-point solutions. For example, the HP research cited above notes that:
41% of organizations use network security on their printers
28% of respondents had end-point security solutions deployed on printers.
28% of companies are deploying security certificates for printers.
Less than half of respondents use document security, network security, and access control on their printers
Less than 40% use administrator passwords for their printers’ web configuration interface.
An effective printer-based security program requires that all of these solutions—and more—be in consistent use, in combination, with ongoing monitoring and response strategies in place.
How does your printer security strategy hold up?
What Happens When There’s a Printer Breach?
If you’re still not concerned, take a look at one incident that was designed to show what is possible with a printer hack. In November 2018, a printer hack made it clear that these types of attacks are on the rise. The now infamous “PewDiePie hack” took control of over 50,000 printers and had them print out marketing materials related to a YouTube channel of the same name.
But most breaches aren’t harmless. Hackers are looking for access points into your network, where your internal information, employee data, proprietary processes, client information, and data that could be protected under regulatory guidelines could all be at risk.
For organizations that haven’t looked at printer vulnerability in the context of their end-point security strategies, now is the time to get serious. Major hacks have shown that networked printers are a gateway into your network. Take the risk to heart before a data breach puts your information or customer data in danger. Explore how the cyber security components of managed print services can help you manage your network from end to end, while ensuring that your networked devices are safer than ever before from threats.

Amazing adult stories
Mindi and carmen enjoys pussy licking on their bath tub
Young, Hardcore
Moogum
I had so much fun writing this series I just had to write one more segment. But, I promise this is the end.
I'm tired of typing "stately Wayne Manor." Chapter 18 Bruce rose up the Reverse Bat Pole to find his three women—slaves Stephanie and Marianne and his fiancé Missa playing hookie gets nookie Gordon waiting for him, kneeling on the study floor naked.
"May we serve…I mean, service you, Master?" Barbara had said. Bruce couldn't believe his eyes. That little minx; Barbara had only been in residence at stately Wayne Manor for a week and already she was organizing the slaves. God only knows what they've done together, he thought. He nodded and pulled them up, the slaves first and then Barbara.
They undressed him, leaving his clothes in a pile on the study floor. Then they walked the exhausted Batman up the curved staircase to the master bedroom. Stephanie and Marianne walked next to him arm in arm, their heads resting on his shoulders. Barbara walked backward in front of him, leading him by his unbelievably huge cock.
Bruce was concerned she might fall going up the stairs but with one hand on the banister and one on his organ she was rock steady. In the bedroom he was pushed backward onto the bed. Stephanie was the best cock sucker, bbw girl jers me off full handjob and cumshot to get japanese love story full movies pinoy nine inches of the monster into her mouth and throat, so she positioned herself at 90 degrees to the Batman/Bruce.
Marianne positioned herself, mouth at Stephanie's cunt. Barbara completed the square, ready to suck the delectable Marianne while Bruce would be able to eat her yummy pussy. "I've given them permission to cum," said Barbara.
Neither girl was permitted to cum without Bruce's permission, not that there was ever a problem. They had so much sex—usually once or twice a day—that there was always an opportunity to cum. Barbara said, "Go," and they all started to lick and suck. There was groaning and twitching all around. Bruce loved the taste and texture of Barbara's pussy. He licked all around yuki tuoma 1 by packmans labia and probed her tunnel with his tongue.
When he moved up to her clit he slid two fingers deep into her and pumped her hard. Meanwhile, Stephanie was getting more and more of him into her mouth. Bruce snuck a peek at her and saw almost all of his cock had disappeared into her oral cavity. She always had an active tongue and tonight was no exception. Her licking and sucking was driving him crazy.
In fact, everyone was going a little crazy. Everyone was sucking in earnest and soon enough Marianne grunted several times as her orgasm took over her body. To her credit she kept on sucking off Stephanie who was the next in line. Bruce was torturing Barbara's clit, nibbling and sucking it between his teeth. She locked her legs around his head as she soaked his face with her juices, screaming her way through the orgasm. Now only Bruce hadn't cum. All three women now turned their attentions to him.
Stephanie sucked him in and out of her hot mouth. Marianne started to lick his balls while Barbara fingered his ass. Even Batman at his strongest couldn't withstand this assault. All three women recognized the signs that his orgasm had begun and they all moved to share the spoils.
The first hot ribbon of cum went down Stephanie's mouth. Then she was off him in an instant to be replaced by Marianne. Finally, Barbara moved her mouth onto him and sucked him dry. Bruce was astonished at how much cock she could get into her mouth. Hmmm, he thought. Was Stephanie giving her lessons? Once they were all sated they lay back on the bed to recover. It was late so Bruce suggested they all go to bed. He was surprised when they all cuddled up into the bed with him.
Barbara didn't complain so why should he? Bruce reflected on his good fortune as they all fell into a deep sleep. Bruce had been really beat. His crime fighting activities over the previous week had taken a toll. He slept in the following morning, expecting the women would just get up and go about their business while he continued to sleep.
However, when he opened his eyes he saw three naked sticky women smiling at him. Barbara opened her mouth to ask, "May we…"when Bruce yelled, "NO! Later maybe, but not now; I need some coffee and some breakfast." Bruce jumped from the bed, heading for the shower. He waggled his finger, inviting Barbara to join him. After eating he took Barbara to stately Wayne Manor's kennels.
"Yes," he told her, "You can have a dog. He can be a normal pet or he can even fuck you if you wish; whatever you want." The first kennel they stopped at was the Great Dane.
He sniffed then looked at Barbara longingly and Barbara looked back. Then she looked at Bruce. "No—too big and too possessive--you'd never have a moment's peace with him around and I'd worry about the baby." They passed several other kennels. Barbara recognized the Dobermans who had also fucked her and a Rottweiler. Bruce led her past them. He obviously had something else in mind. They eventually stopped in front of a yellow lab. "I just rescued this one from the Gotham City Animal Shelter.
I think he'll be pretty good." He directed the attendant to open the kennel. The dog ran straight to Barbara and licked her hand, tail wagging. She rubbed his head and scratched his ears. "He seems very gentle," she said gina valentina eats jelena jensens milf pussy the attendant had stepped away, "Do you think he'd be willing to fuck me?" "He's a male.
Like any male, he'll fuck anything that presents itself. Care to try it tonight?" "Hmmm, what a great idea, except that Daddy is coming over to see us.
Maybe we can get rid of him early." "Barbara Gordon, what a terrible thing to say about your own father!" "Bruce, you know as well as anyone what a complete bore Daddy can be. Sometimes I wonder if Mom was fucking the mailman before I was born." Chapter 19 Bruce had the kennel attendant wash and groom the dog before bringing him up to stately Wayne Manor. Once there he ran right to Barbara wagging his tail. He licked her hand and when she leaned down to greet him, smothered her face with doggie kisses.
"What should we call him?" "How about Commissioner Gordon?" he joked, earning a jab to the ribs. "Seriously, he's your dog so you can name him whatever you want. Any ideas?" "Well," she thought, "certainly not anything like Rover or Fido…how about 'Fuck?'" Now it was Bruce's turn to poke her to show his "annoyance." "Okay, how about 'Sam' or 'Fred?'" "I don't really care, Barbara, whatever you want, just so long as you don't call him 'dog.'" "I think 'Fred.' Shall we try it?
Come on Fred. Come here." The dog just looked at her but when she motioned with her hand he came a running. It only took a few trials before he knew his new name. Bruce gave Barbara some doggie treats from the kennels as a reward for his good behavior. Late afternoon saw the arrival of Barbara's father, the estimable Commissioner Gordon. He kissed his daughter and shook Bruce's hand.
Once they were inside he asked Bruce, "I assume there will be a suitably long engagement period? Barbara's mother and I were engaged for two years—a very proper engagement, I'd say. After all there is so much to do…uh…invitations, the catering hall, dress, and all that." "No, Commissioner," Bruce replied.
"We'll be married by the end of the month right here in stately Wayne Manor. The Archbishop has already agreed to perform the ceremony. We'll have the reception here, too…out on the back lawn." "Why…harrumph…that's impossible! I won't allow it. I won't!" "Well, Commissioner, that's when it's going to be.
My entire household staff is working on it as we speak, not to mention my office staff." "Your office staff?" "I told you not to mention my office staff," Bruce joked as he and Barbara broke out laughing at his lame attempt at humor.
"Commissioner we have our reasons for moving so swiftly." "I don't understand! What reason could there possibly be?" Bruce looked at Barbara who nodded. "Barbara's pregnant." "Don't be upset, Daddy. Bruce and I love each other…very much." "Oh&hellip." Commissioner Gordon said. "Well, in that case…I suppose it's OK. But I will never understand you young people.
How am I going to get my guest list together in such a short time. It's impossible…impossible, I tell you." "Don't worry, Commissioner. I'll send my secretary and her aide to your office to help compile your list. Believe me, they're very capable…very capable." Barbara could barely suppress a giggle at the thought of Stephanie and Marianne alone with her stodgy father.
She'd have to speak with them before the meeting. "Relax, Daddy. You need to get with the times. No one is a virgin any more, at least not after the age of 14." She rose and hugged the Commissioner who still looked bewildered.
Fortunately, it was time for dinner. At dinner she wanted the dog to sit near her, but Bruce refused. The dog clearly knew who was the boss and stayed at the doorway until summoned after the meal was concluded.
Commissioner Gordon was again assured that Stephanie and Marianne would take care of all his concerns.
Again Barbara almost laughed out loud. Instead she coughed. After the Commissioner had gone Bruce and Barbara led the dog upstairs to their bedroom. Barbara stripped and lay against the edge of the bed rubbing her pussy, getting it wet, sending whiffs of arousing scents to the dog's sensitive nose.
He wagged his tail rapidly as he sniffed the source of the attracting odors. He nuzzled Barbara's snatch, making his nose even wetter then licked her entire slit. He kept on licking, the roughness of his tongue sending Barbara higher and higher.
She lay back moaning in delight. Bruce placed leather booties on the dog's feet so he wouldn't scratch her when he became excited. Fred leaped onto the bed bringing his long doggie cock to the door of Barbara's cunt, spraying her with precum. Fred was obeying his natural urge to mate. He lunged forward skewering Barbara on his slippery cock. He lunged again forcing his knot to the edge of her.
He pushed again--hard—forcing the knot into her. She knew what to expect but the suddenness of the intrusion hd castingcouch x new to porn alexis adams fucks on film shocked her. "Ooohh," she exclaimed as the knot swelled, sealing her pussy. The beast continued to hump with quick short thrusts.
Too soon for Barbara the animal completed mating her forcing his semen deep into her womb. She felt completely filled between the stiff cock and the huge quantity of cum. As Fred relaxed his knot began to shrink allowing him to slip from Barbara's cunt. She was angled down so cum poured from her. Fortunately, Bruce had placed a large towel beneath her, but soon it was soaked.
Fred curled upon the floor licking and cleaning himself, no longer interested in his bitch. Bruce, however, was really turned on. Barbara turned when she heard a rustling noise. Bruce was removing his clothes; Barbara just smiled and led him to her. He stood before her and leaned forward. His cock was huge for a man, but Fred's was just as long.
Bruce, however, had the advantage in girth. Fred's cum would lubricate Barbara so Bruce slid easily into her. They started a rhythm, bringing each to a higher plane of pleasure. They held each other, celebrating their unity—extracting pleasure from each other.
They were both fully aroused when it started to hit them. Barbara's cunt quivered; Bruce's balls boiled. They kissed and then they EXPLODED, shaking all over before falling together onto the bed. It was getting late so they just climbed under the covers, naked and gooey. Fred moved to the floor below Barbara, circled three times and joined them in sleep.
Chapter 20 Promptly at three the following afternoon Commissioner Gordon welcomed Stephanie and Marianne to his office, marveling at the sight of them.
"Please don't interrupt us," he told his secretary. He was quite taken by the two young beauties who were dressed more like expensive call girls in tight blouses designed to show off their ample cleavage and matching mid-thigh leather skirts. Completing their outfits were five-inch heels, exactly what Barbara told them to wear. He may have been old but he certainly wasn't dead.
His rarely used cock throbbed at the sight of them. He sat in an armchair, pointing them to a couch. "So," he started, "What to you two do for Bruce Wayne? He tells me you're very capable…very capable." "Everything," they chimed in together.
"We were instructed to work very closely with you Commissioner…very closely." They both rose and strode to his chair. Marianne held his tie as she kneeled to kiss him, pushing her tongue past his teeth into his mouth.
Stephanie quickly unzipped and pulled his semi-hard cock from his pants. "Wha…wha.what's going on here. Oh my God! What do you think you're doing?" And then, "That is so incredible. No wonder Bruce Wayne speaks so highly of you." Stephanie had just placed his now rock hard penis into her hot mouth.
She was an oral queen. She was accustomed to Bruce's cock but she was surprised to learn that stodgy old Commissioner Gordon was quite well endowed, himself.
She swallowed his cock, his pubic hair pushing against her lips. Marianne, too, was surprised. The Commissioner hot babe kate england gets fucked in the forest a pretty good kisser. Stephanie managed to pull his pants down to his ankles. She pulled away and mounted, pushing his cock deep into her dripping pussy.
He managed an appreciative groan into Marianne's mouth as she continued to kiss him. She managed to rub his balls while Stephanie began to ride him, accelerating her pace. They were both surprised at his staying power, but they failed to take his age into account. Gordon reached with both hands and placed them on Marianne's breasts, kneading them as sexy ramming of a constricted pussy hardcore and massage continued their kiss.
Marianne groaned under the civil servant's touch. The Commissioner pushed Stephanie to his desk and did her doggie style. His eight inches pounded her pussy, only giving relief when he withdrew, positioning himself right over her ass. "I've never done this before but I'm not wasting this opportunity," he gasped. Stephanie turned her head and smiled, "Just push it in, Sir.
Don't worry, I can handle it." And handle it she did. After managing Bruce's girth the Commissioner's relatively normal cock was a breeze. He gripped her hips and pistoned her like he was 20, instead of 70.
Marianne teabagged the leader of the Gotham City P.D. bringing his orgasm from deep within his body. As he came, Stephanie reversed and took his cock into her throat. Gordon blew several hot thick ropes of cum into her waiting mouth. Marianne joined her and shared his load, then licked him completely clean. He was drained physically and emotionally. 'It's going to take a long time to get this list together at this rate," he surmised.
"Yes," they stated together. We'll have to come here over and over until we get it just right, won't we?" Commissioner Gordon smiled at this prospect as he collapsed into his well-worn chair. Commissioner Gordon cancelled all his afternoon appointments for the next week. The list steadily grew, but not as fast as his cock when he saw his two young lovers enter his office. He was careful to lock his door as his secretary commented she had heard some strange noises that first day.
All in all he had more sex—much better sex—than he had in the previous ten years, ever since Barbara's mother had passed away. He often wondered how Barbara would deal with their high level of sexuality. One day, near the list's completion he asked Stephanie about it. "Mr. Wayne is our Master; we are his slaves. We do whatever he commands no matter how disgusting or repulsive it may appear." "Slaves? I thought that was illegal. He could get into a lot of trouble…slaves, indeed!" "We are voluntary slaves, Commissioner.
Mr. Wayne doesn't own us. In fact he pays us very well and provides us with room, board, clothes, jewelry, cars…anything we need or ask for. I actually make more money than you do and Marianne is in six figures—a pretty good salary for a 19 year old." "Well, what does my daughter think of all this?" "Barbara is our Mistress.
Mr. Wayne offered to get rid of us when they became engaged, but she insisted we stay. We also do whatever she tells diamond jackson casually chats with simone sonay while the bartender fucks her ass porn movies 3 mov mean…sex…with my daughter? That's preposterous" "She is our mistress; we do as she instructs. Yes, that has included sex with her, her and Bruce, and both of us.
It's a lot of fun, just like the sex we have. Speaking of which&hellip." Stephanie put down her pen and pad; Marianne followed her lead. Stephanie was out of her clothes in a flash.
She stood above Gordon and spread her legs inviting him to lick her tasty cunt. Marianne removed his dick from his pants and went all the way down on him. "Oh…fuck!" exclaimed Commissioner Gordon, quickly forgetting his indignation as he slurped nectar from Stephanie's pussy.
Suddenly both girls withdrew, led him to the desk and bent over next to each other. "Do me first," pleaded Marianne. Gordon stepped behind her and pushed into her tight tunnel. She moaned in delight. Then he withdrew and pushed into Stephanie. Stodgy Commissioner Gordon had become quite a swinger in the past week.
"Maybe," he thought, "I'll try my secretary when these two leave. She's been flirting with me for years. I'll bet I can fuck her." Then he was surprised at his language. He never used profanity before last week. "Aw, fuck it," he thought, "Who the fuck cares?" He continued to fuck both women until he was ready to cum.
"Oh, I'm going to &hellip."They turned around before he finished, Marianne engulfing his throbbing cock in her mouth. He pushed thread after thread of hot semen into her. Then she swapped with Stephanie and together they cleaned anything left on the softening dick. The following day they were done with the list and rarely saw Commissioner Gordon again.
When he approached his secretary she slapped him and threatened him with a sexual harassment lawsuit. He turned to cheap prostitutes in his quest to duplicate the fun he'd had, but it was never quite the same.
Chapter 21 The wedding was huge—more than 400 guests—although the wedding party was small. The Boy Wonder, Bruce's ward, Dick Grayson was best man; Barbara's cousin was maid of honor. The Archbishop had a cold and sneezed his way through the brief ceremony before all retired to the tents pitched on the huge back lawn for the reception. Set up there were fifty-four eight-person tables. Bruce, his bride, Dick and his girlfriend, Barbara's cousin, and Commissioner Gordon were first officer girlfriends sneaky question big black cock stud be seated.
There was a seat to each side of Barbara's father. "Why am I over here all by myself," he inquired. "There are two others joining us but they will be a little late," replied the new Mrs.
Wayne, the baby within her just starting to show. Suddenly the two guests appeared, as did Commissioner Gordon's hard-on at the sight of Stephanie and Marianne in matching strapless short gowns—Stephanie in aqua; Marianne in mauve. They leaned in to the Commissioner and each kissed a cheek then watched him turn the brightest shade of red. "Hi, Commissioner, how nice that we're sitting together," purred Stephanie. Marianne ran her hand through Gordon's hair before they sat down, leaning close to the embarrassed crime fighter.
Soon their hands were roaming freely over his thighs. Commissioner Gordon quickly reached for a napkin and spread it over his lap trying to hide his growing erection. When Marianne heard the band strike up the first tune she unzipped his pants and freed his erection.
Barbara noticed her father's discomfort and pointed it out to her new husband. "I don't think Daddy will be leaving the table anytime soon. Marianne has him well in hand." At that instant Stephanie "dropped" her napkin as an excuse to take him into her mouth.
They had seated him at the wall so everyone's eyes would be looking away, in the opposite direction. Stephanie licked all around the head of his cock while Marianne reached into his boxers to massage his balls.
It was all the Commissioner could do to stop from groaning aloud. Instead, he panted as he started to sweat. "Hot out here, isn't it?" he said, loosening his bow tie. "Gee, Daddy, I think it's nice," replied Barbara suppressing a grin. By now Stephanie had his entire erection in her mouth, bobbing up and down beneath the table, hidden by the table cloth. She pulled him to floozy grants full access to her cunt edge of his chair so Marianne could finger his ass.
He hadn't seen them in more than two weeks so he was really horny—hornier than someone his age had a right to be. He came in a torrent of cum which Stephanie swallowed, licking first her lips and then cleaning his cock. She zipped him before rising back to her seat. "Boy, I didn't think I'd ever find my napkin under there." Commissioner Gordon almost choked; Barbara couldn't stifle a hearty laugh.
This was going to be a fun reception, and an even better life.

Reading Comprehension Set 91
Leave a Comment / Reading Comprehension / By Complete Success
Directions (Q. 1-0): Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below. There are certain words in the passage printed in bold letters to lead you to find them out easily in order to help you in answering some of the questions.
I worked as health secretary for about five years from the middle of 1962 to the middle of 1967. Thereafter I worked as finance secretary until the end of 1969. Indiscipline was rampant in the health department. Intense lobbying to secure plum postings was the order of the day. Ministers, legislators, senior officers and other influential people openly pleaded the cause of their proteges. The Health Minister was an honest, well-meaning politician. He approved my proposals to bring about some system and objectivity in postings and transfers and put an end to lobbying. But those efforts met with only limited success.
Doctors succeeded in getting desired postings by resorting to bribery. On the eve of the elections, the then minister sent down over 100 transfer orders from his camp office. They were in conflict with the guidelines and quite a few were confusing in as much as two doctors were posted to the same place, or one person was posted to more than one post. I did not carry out the orders. I submitted a note to Chief Minister through the Chief Secretary pointing out why the orders should not be implemented. The Chief Secretary supported me. The Chief Minister decided that the minister’s orders should not be implemented. All the doctors who had paid money were disappointed. In several other departments also corruption became widespread. In the works departments corruption had existed since a long time in the matter of awarding contracts. Now bribes were freely offered to secure transfer to particular posts, and even for getting promotions.
As Finance Secretary I found that the finances of the state were in a precarious condition. Financial discipline had evaporated. Long before the advent of the wireless and the telephone, the British had included in the Treasury Code a rule (Rule 27) empowering collectors to draw money from the treasury to meet emergencies like floods, earthquakes, devastating fires, etc. To my dismay I found that collectors were freely drawing money for all manner of trivial purposes under Rule 27 of the Treasury Code. In one case a collector had drawn money under the rule to buy a staff car for the SDO of another district.
All checks and balances had disappeared. There was no accountability and any one could do what he pleased. Resorting to a number of harsh measures I could restore a measure of financial discipline. But the administration continued to be in disarray.

Kirwan Blueprint Bill Sailing to Governor
Education / State Budget and Fiscal Issues
The “Education Blueprint” bill with initial recommendations from the Kirwan Commission, and two years worth of funding, is on its way toward passage.
SB 1030 has been amended and passed in the House of Delegates, with strong bi-partisan support, and appears headed to the Governor. The two-year spending plan includes targeted funding for special education students, schools with high density of poverty, and teacher salary incentives. The bill, with multiple changes and compromises incorporated at seemingly every turn, funds several priority areas but incorporates a variety of accountability measures supported by the Governor.
The core element affecting county budgets immediately is essentially unchanged — if counties fund a teacher salary increase of 3% or the equivalent in FY 2020 and 2021, the state will award a wealth-equalized grant (totaling $75 million each year) to further enhance teacher pay.
From coverage in the Baltimore Sun:
The House version of the bill contains some significant changes to the Senate version. Unlike the Senate, the House made the funding mandatory, expanded the pool of school employees eligible for raises and made an inspector general, appointed to ensure accountability, subject to a unanimous vote of the governor, attorney general and treasurer.
Third Reader Bill, as passed by the Senate
Ways and Means Committee Amendments (adopted): Substantive (11 pages), and Procedural (1 page)
Delegate Cassilly Amendment, adopted on the House floor
Earlier Conduit Street coverage of bill as passed by the Senate
The Senate will receive the House amendments, and is widely expected to concur with the changes, avoiding a late-session conference committee, and approving the bill in this final form. An enrolled (final) version of the bill should be available soon afterward.
One element of the bill, uncodified language on page 44 of the bill gathering little attention, directs the Kirwan Commission to develop recommendations for a more evenly-smoothed cost schedule. The preliminary cost estimates of the Commission work included more than $3 billion in annualized costs mounting as soon as the third and fourth year of the ten-year “phase in.” This direction could represent a strong signal on the more practical implementation schedule that may garner enough support in the 2020 legislative session, once the Commission concludes its remaining work regarding funding formulas and other fiscal matters.

The Art of Professional Sales
My latest book is a departure from the fast paced action adventure novels I consider my stock in trade. The Art of Professional Sales is the book I wish I had read when I started my professional sales career. I DECIDED TO WRITE A SALES TRAINING BOOK because I saw that the art of sales was disappearing from most business models. I am not referring to the pursuit of sales numbers. Every business owner and entrepreneur gives lip service to the importance of sales. To each of these leaders in industry, sales has become a statistical event only. Businesses nowadays seem to relegate their sales numbers to the same circumstance of chance they assign outside production activities to the weather. I see the art of professional selling abandoned by so many. Most sellers, and buyers, consider traditional sales an antiquated practice which no longer works. In the modern age of an informed customer base, and the emergence of compassionate business ownership, sales is considered a discourtesy.
COVID 19 = Death? Who is Doing the Math?
Please think critically. Question the Math I am learning that America is populated by people who lack basic math skills. Combine that with a preponderance of people with no desire to think critically and you have COVID 19 = Death. June 26, 2020 Austin, TX - Austin Mayor Steve Adler (Addled) is in full panic mode now that the doom and gloom medical authorities have announced that not only are we in a second wave of the virus, it is worse than they had anticipated. He is closing the bars and rolling back restaurants to a 50% capacity. This spells doom for Austin businesses. Austin is only one city of the hundreds who are led by politicians with more than their fair share of ignorance, and the knack for acting spontaneously upon inaccurate information. When the COVID 19 virus became synonymous with death, it handed down a verdict of death to the US economy. Whether you call it the Wuhan Virus, Corona Virus, or COVID 19 virus, it has yet to kill anyone. Many with t

Self-Publishing in a World of Books: Cover Art
This article is the first in an 11-part series on self-publishing. The unprecedented access to self-publishing has done more to distance the typical start-up writer from his or her dream of being a successful author than any barriers erected by traditional publishing house resources. If you have a dream of writing a single book, or launching your career as a prolific author, you will have decisions to make. Make no mistake, the publishing part of your writing career will overshadow the creation of artistic prose. I learned this the hard way. “There was no interest in my book at all” In 2018 I published Massacre at Agua Caliente - A Western Tragedy . I designed the cover in Photoshop and Draw Perfect. I built the novel’s content in Word, creating my own format. Using CreateSpace, Amazon's old book creator process, my book was easy to bring to market. Like many of you, I thought the market would take care of the rest. I was wrong. There was no interest
Bert's Tale of Booze - a Short Story by Craig Rainey
Bert’s Tale of Booze Bar-baby-an Excerpted from the novel Stolen Valor, A Carson Brand Novel. Bert is Carson Brand's best friend. He is known for his telling of the following tale during Rennaisance Festivals. A grey sky hovered low upon the wet roofs and bundled masses heaving along the streets of the village. Cloaks clung tightly around chilled shoulders. Peace tied swords weighed heavily, ankle bells tinkled with each step, and ponderous chain mail shifted and tinkled with their haste. The scarred double doors of the great hall resisted the large crowd entering to receive a small amount of warmth and a large amount of ale or Meade. At the center of the roiling throng stood a large bearded man in stiff leathers, broad gauntlets and grieves. His arms spread dramatically as his deep voice boomed. All present knew of him and his tale. No matter the frequency of the telling, his ode was welcomed as a mainstay of the festival. “Settle in with me now. Join me in
Short Story: As Much Fun as a Barrel of Monkeys, by Craig Rainey
Short Story: As Much Fun as a Barrel of Monkeys by Craig Rainey He gained consciousness in the familiar confines of his apartment. He knew it was his apartment only because he could see the banister to his bedroom loft and the burgundy accent wall above him. But that was where the familiarity ended. He pulled himself to his feet. "Ow!" He played gingerly at the tender spot on the top of his head: a spot covered by hair, matted with dried blood - apparently his own. Because opening his eyes caused him pain, he squinted through narrowly separated eyelids at his surroundings. He groaned at the sight of one of his home theater speakers poking out of the screen of his 72” 4k television. His green leather sofa, loveseat, and lounger were in turn, toppled, ripped and... "What the hell is that?" he muttered, spitting out small strands of hair…or fur. As he got closer to the sofa, he identified the smeared matter on the leather upholstery as feces. Upon clo

I have always read spy novels. The most formative was The Destroyer Series by Richard Sapir and Warren Murphy. Later I enjoyed the Bourne series, Jack Ryan, and most recently Jack Reacher . The common theme I grew to dislike was the characterization of the protagonists when they weren't performing heroic feats or saving the day was their social lives.

The Book Came from Craig Rainey's Roots San Angelo, Texas was not much different in the ’60s, when I grew up there than it was in the late 1800’s and the early years of the twentieth century when my ancestors settled in the region. The car had replaced horse and buggy and we had a TV in every house with at least 3 stations available. But all one had to do was step outside, and the waning remnants of a passing era were easily recognizable in the fast-moving clouds and the warm acrid dust in the ever-present winds. “Angelo”, as it was called by the natives, moved at its own pace. That pace was slow but not plodding. The hot days were oppressive, but you got used to it. Country wisdom was known simply as wisdom. Anyone without a

Community Clergy Can Get Free Training to Advance Veteran’s Whole Health
From May 11-12, 2020, Cranaleith Spiritual Center, a ministry of the Sisters of Mercy, in partnership with the Department of Veterans Affairs National VA Chaplain Center, the Corporal Michael J. Crescenz VA Medical Center, and the Episcopal Diocese of Pennsylvania, is offering a two-day training to educate community clergy about issues facing returning Veterans and their families following deployment. The Reverend Chris J. Antal, DMin., a veteran of the U.S. war in Afghanistan, and staff chaplain at the Crescenz VA Medical Center, will facilitate the training.
Registration is limited to 50 and is required no later than May 1, 2020. Register online: HERE
“We are so pleased to partner with the U.S. Veterans Affairs to present the Community Clergy Training Program,” says Marianne Trainer, Interim Executive Director of Cranaleith Spiritual Center. “We are a safe and serene place of hospitality where veterans and those who work with them have opportunities for quiet reflection and sharing to address the spiritual dimension of healing trauma. At Cranaleith we tend the soul-wounds of war, rekindle hope and compassion, and reconnect to the wisdom of your heart.”
Community clergy from all faiths and organization chaplains are invited to attend. Training topics will address post-deployment readjustment challenges, the psychological, physical, behavioral, and spiritual effects of war trauma on survivors, such as moral and spiritual injury, and the important role of community (clergy/congregations) in helping to reduce mental health stigma and support Veterans and their families. Attendees will learn about VA and community mental health services and who clergy can connect with at their local VA to request information or assistance. All attendees will receive contact hour certificates from VA.
After attending a recent training provided by Chaplain Antal, Reverend Nicholas Seeberger, Pastor of Church on the Sound, wrote “Your presentation was compelling, challenging and extremely helpful. Your style was inclusive and thoughtful. As I shared, I thought the sessions were primarily going to be about information and problem-solving. Instead there was reflection, discussion and soul-searching in addition to well-researched material. You are well-suited to this task of clergy training. Your commitment to providing a pathway for healing and hope to this often overlooked or misunderstood part of our population is quite evident. Thank you!”
It has been estimated that one-fourth of individuals who seek help for a mental health problem do so from clergy. Clergy and houses of worship are an important contact point for Veterans. Clergy may recognize Veterans who are struggling in their return to civilian life, but not know how to support them. This training will help clergy understand the differences between military and civilian culture, provide guidance for pastoral care to Veterans and their families, and teach them to recognize some signs and symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder and traumatic brain injury, and how to minister effectively to moral injury.
This training is to build capacity of faith communities so clergy and congregants (active members of religious communities) are both welcome to attend. Ideally, faith communities would register a team that includes their spiritual leader and at least one Veteran from their congregation who are committed to implementing lessons learned in their context.
The two-day event starts May 11 at 8:00 a.m., and ends May 12, at 3:00 p.m. The training is provided free of charge. Cranaleith Spiritual Center, 13475 Proctor Road, Philadelphia, PA 19116, is generously donating the meeting space, which is handicapped accessible. Breakfast and lunch are provided through a generous donation from the Episcopal Diocese of Pennsylvania.
Cranaleith has ample parking and is a 7 minute (.3) mile walk from the Somerton SEPTA station on the West Trenton Line.
Registration is limited to 50 and required no later than May 1, 2020. Register online: HERE
Cranaleith has limited overnight lodging Sunday and/or Monday at a rate of $60/night per person. To reserve your room contact Kelly Klein, 215-934-6206, ext. 107, kklein@cranaleith.org.
Participants travel from Cranaleith to the VA Medical Center, 3900 Woodland Ave, Philadelphia, PA 19104, on Monday afternoon to participate in a seminar and Community Healing Ceremony and need to provide their own transportation or pay the SEPTA fee ($6 at station or $7 on train, each way).
For questions or concerns about the training contact: Chris J. Antal, Staff Chaplain, Michael Crescenz VA Medical Center, (215) 823-4392

Burial Costs Guide 2021: How Much Should You Pay?
Written by Amy Gardner: Grief & Memorial Expert
Reviewed by Adam Binstock On July 3, 2020
Article Highlights
Average Burial Costs Breakdown Burial Costs Vs. Cremation Burial Plot Costs Burial Caskets Green Burial Costs Headstone Costs Burial Vault Costs Burial Insurance
Planning a burial ahead of time can eliminate a significant burden to friends and family grieving your loss.
A big part of this planning process is knowing exactly what costs you are up against.
If you’ve chosen burial is your end of life choice, I’d firstly recommend browsing through our burial planning guide.
In this guide, I will mainly focus on burial costs, how it compares to the cost of cremation, and some other important factors.
Average Burial Costs Breakdown
Effective funeral planning means taking each of these costs into account.
Most funeral homes charge a basic, non-declinable fee for using their services.
The average cost for this basic fee is about $2195.
The cost of a funeral or memorial service can vary greatly depending on what you want.
The average cost for a funeral or memorial service is $500.
Transportation of Body
The funeral home will likely remove the body from the place of death and transport them immediately to the funeral home.
This cost (like others) can vary. But the average cost is about $350.
Embalming is a fairly significant expense which may not be necessary, especially if burial is going to take place shortly after death.
However, you may want to embalm the body if you are planning a viewing/visitation.
The average cost of embalming is $750.
Caskets come in a wide variety of sizes, styles and materials. Be sure to shop around instead of blindly accepting what the funeral home has on offer.
The average price for a metal casket is $2500.
Burial Plot
The cost of a burial plot will typically run you between $1000 and $4000, depending on where you live and what kind of cemetery it is.
Keep in mind that most veterans are entitled to a burial plot in a V.A.-certified cemetery.
Here again, great variety exists in terms of the style and cost.
The average cost of a headstone is $1500.
Burial Costs Vs. Cremation
When looking at these expenses, you might consider cremation as an affordable alternative to burial.
Overall, cremation is cheaper. However, it all depends on what kind of service you choose.
Burial With Traditional Service
The most traditional option is a burial accompanied by a funeral service and a visitation/viewing.
The overall cost for a burial with a traditional funeral service is around $15,000.
Burial With Memorial Service
A memorial service can be held before or after burial without the body being present.
The average overall cost to go this route is $10,000.
Cremation With Traditional Service
Some choose to have a traditional funeral service before cremation with the body present.
A cremation with a traditional funeral will generally add up to anywhere between $10,000 and $12,000.
Cremation With Memorial Service
Many costs can be eliminated by holding a basic memorial service after cremation has taken place.
Minus the costs associated with a viewing or a burial, this is one of the most affordable choices, averaging out to a total of between $8000-$10,000.
Burial Plot Costs
As mentioned earlier, many of the costs related to burial will vary depending on your wishes and your budget.
Types of Burial Plots
All burial plots are not the same.
You get to choose what kind of plot best meets your needs.
Single burial plot
This type of plot can accommodate one person in a single casket.
It’s the most common choice, and the one that we automatically think of when we consider purchasing a plot.
Double companion plots
In some cases, two people might plan to be buried together.
This can be accomplished through the purchase of “side-by-side” plots: two individual plots which are next to each other.
Another possibility is a double-depth plot, which allows one person to be buried on top of the other.
Family burial plots
Sometimes a family will reserve a group of plots that are together in one area, so that all members may be buried close to each other.
This can be done through purchasing one area of the cemetery and marking it with a large stone that bears the family name.
Or the family might simply purchase a row of side-by-side burial plots.
Cremation ashes plots
Some cemeteries offer smaller (and cheaper) burial plots which can be used for burial of cremation ashes.
These are usually interred in a cremation urn, which takes up considerably less space than does a casket.
Average Costs
The cost of a burial plot is dependent on a number of factors.
For one thing, burial is more expensive in certain states than it is in others.
Even within the same state, the cost of purchasing a burial may differ from one cemetery to another.
In general, single burial plots are cheaper than double or family plots, but this is not always the case. Sometimes an individual plot may be cheaper when it is purchased along with others.
And finally, the time you buy also makes a difference in pricing. That’s why it’s a good idea to purchase a burial plot ahead of time, so that your family is not at the mercy of price fluctuations when trying to purchase a plot immediately after a death.
Some of the most expensive states to buy a burial plot are:
California ($3915)
Colorado ($2037)
Missouri ($1774)
Some of the least expensive states for this are:
South Carolina ($1100)
Mississippi ($1128)
Indiana ($1194)
Costs Breakdown
Why is a burial plot so expensive?
The price you’re paying actually covers a number of different services.
The cost of the actual burial plot ranges from $200-$2000 for a single plot in a public cemetery, to $2000-$5000 for that same plot in a private cemetery.
A plot for the burial of cremated remains can cost anywhere from $350 to $2500, depending on what type of cemetery it is.
The cemetery typically charges a fee for opening and closing the grave.
These interment fees average out to between $350 and $1000 in public cemeteries.
In a private cemetery, this fee can cost anywhere between $600 and $3000.
Permit papers
A burial permit is almost always required in order to legally dispose of the body. In fact, most cemeteries will not even allow burials without the necessary permits.
There is sometimes a small fee of less than $20 for securing these permits.
Burial Caskets
This is likely to be one of the biggest expenses associated with burial, so it’s important to choose a burial casket wisely.
Different Types of Caskets
Caskets come in all kinds of styles in all kinds of materials.
The most popular materials for caskets are sturdy metal and traditional wood.
There are pros and cons to every material or style.
Metal caskets
Metal caskets may be crafted of bronze, copper, stainless steel or standard steel.
Bronze and copper are permanent and non-rusting; however, they are also much more expensive than other options.
Stainless steel has some resistance to rust, and may offer better value for money.
Standard steel caskets are the most affordable; they are also very strong and durable.
Wooden caskets
Wooden caskets come in a great variety.
Walnut, mahogany and cherry are the most expensive and luxurious types of wood, and they can be highly polished for a smooth finish.
Maple and oak are solid choices, too: hard and durable, with a natural look that can be very attractive.
Pine, poplar and veneer are the least expensive kinds of wooden casket available. However, they can be personalized with different colors and different kinds of finish.
Biodegradable caskets
These caskets are created using biodegradable materials.
They’re designed to decompose naturally into the earth in a manner that does not harm the environment.
They can be made of soft wood, woven from wicker or crafted of lightweight cardboard.
How much have you budgeted for a casket?
Chances are you can find something suitable no matter what your budget.
A nice hardwood casket averages out to about $4000 while wood veneer is a bit cheaper, only about $3000.
Bronze or copper caskets also come to about $3000; however, in some cases, these caskets can cost as much as $10,000.
Steel caskets usually cost about $2000, and biodegradable caskets average about $1500.
The most economical type of casket is a cremation casket, which usually costs about $500.
Green Burial Costs
Are you concerned about budget as well as the environment?
Then green burial might be for you.
What Are Green Burials?
This is a type of natural burial in which the body is not cremated or embalmed. The casket is made of biodegradable material instead of traditional steel or wood. No burial vault is used.
This allows the body to decompose naturally with marginal environmental impact.
How Much Do They Cost?
Again, costs for this type of burial vary widely from one place to another.
In general, you can plan on an overall cost between $1000 and $4000.
That price includes perpetual care, the opening and closing of the grave, a marker and a burial plot.
The headstone is another item that can drive up the overall price of burial considerably.
But you do have some control over this cost in terms of what kind of headstone you choose.
Memorial Type
Headstones come in a number of different sizes, styles and materials.
Here are some of the most popular types of memorial stones.
Lawn markers
These are basic flat markers that lie flush with the lawn.
A lawn marker for a single plot typically starts at about $600.
Bronze plaques
An elegant bronze plaque, engraved with your loved one’s name and relevant dates, can be mounted on a granite base.
The base may lie flush with the ground, or it might be slightly raised.
The cost of a bronze plaque memorial starts at about $795.
Bevel markers
A bevel memorial rises slightly from the ground and has a sloping shape.
These are sometimes called “pillows.”
You can expect a bevel marker to cost upwards of $900.
Upright memorials
This is the traditional type of headstone that most of us are used to.
It is the most impressive but also the costliest memorial option.
The price of an upright headstone typically starts at about $1200.
Size & Granite Type
Besides the style of memorial you choose, the size and the type of granite that it’s made of also affect the cost.
When choosing a size, be sure to check cemetery requirements.
You will also need to think about whether the memorial is for one person or if you need space for more than one name on it.
You can also choose from a wide assortment of colors for the monument.
Burial Vault Costs
A burial vault or grave liner is used to hold the casket when it’s inside the grave.
These are required by most cemeteries.
A burial vault completely contains the casket while a grave liner only covers the top and sides.
Most burial vaults or grave liners are made of concrete. However, they can also be crafted of steel, copper or bronze.
How Much They Cost
Burial vaults usually cost between $900 and $7000 though in some cases, they can cost as much as $13,000.
Grave liners usually cost between $700 and $1000.
Does paying for burial seem pretty daunting?
Burial insurance could be the answer.
This is a type of whole life insurance policy designed to cover end-of-life costs.
It can be used for unpaid medical bills or funeral expenses.
How Much Coverage Do You Get?
Because it’s meant solely for covering end-of-life expenses, most policies don’t exceed $50,000 for coverage.
Age and gender are factors in determining how much you will have to pay for burial insurance.
For example, a 50-year-old female in good health can expect to pay $14 a month. The same female without any health questions asked will pay $15.
In contrast, a healthy 80-year-old man will typically make a monthly payment of about $126. With no health questions, that payment rises to about $162.

Royal Commonwealth Society : Greg album of photographs of Jamaica and Dominica, 1880s-1897
<p>An album containing prints with handwritten captions, breaking down into geographical locations:</p> <p> 1-18, 21, 34: general views in Jamaica, in good condition, mainly measuring approximately 215 x 135 mm, commercial work. The first prints show scenes at the Jamaica Exhibition of 1891 and the other photographs may have been purchased at this time: they were certainly taken, however, in the 1880s, since several are duplicates of material in Y307A, an album compiled in that decade. Photographer unknown (although possibly Duperly and Sons).</p> <p> 19-20, 22-33, 33-75: views in Dominica, mainly of the Hillsborough Estate, in varying condition, the majority amateur snapshots probably taken by John Tylston Greg and measuring approximately 100 x 75 mm. All the photographs are dated between 1896 and 1897, the great majority being taken in May 1896.</p> <p> From the intermingling of the two distinct sections of the album it appears likely that J.T. Greg took over a partially used album of a relative. The Jamaica prints are captioned in a different hand to the Dominica material.</p> <p>The Greg family in Dominica</p> <p> John Greg (1716-1795) went to the West Indies in 1765 and became the first Government Commissioner for the sale of land. He owned two estates in Dominica, the Hertford and the Hillsborough (the latter originally named the Layou from its situation on the bank of the Layou River). The Hertford Estate was later sold. The estate remained in the family and in 1894 Robert Philips Greg sold all his estate interests to his nephew John Tylston Greg, who decided to supervise these concerns personally and remained in Dominica until 1928, when he sold Hillsborough and returned to England.</p>

County Using GPS to Convict School Bus Scofflaws
Published by Waldo Jaquith on June 3, 2010 in Crime, Education and Transportation. 25 Comments
Albemarle is using GPSs to crack down on drivers whizzing by stopped school buses, Brandon Shulleeta writes in the Daily Progress. No longer willing to tolerate people who ignore the flashing red lights and the prominent “STOP” sign displayed on the side of school buses when kids are climbing on or going home, the county is putting to work the $213k worth of bus-tracking systems that they bought a year ago to optimize bus routes and track their locations in real time. By having that trail of data, it becomes much easier to get a conviction against the drivers in court, although it remains necessary to get the car’s license plate number.
Consider this a reminder: Save for on a road with a median, you always have to stop for a school bus—on either side of the road—when it stops to discharge or pick up passengers. And while I’m handing out reminders, pull over to the far lane when an emergency vehicle is parked on the side of the road on a four-lane road, and, for God’s sake, how hard is it to pull over and let emergency vehicles pass?

Real subfrontal access to the skull abolishes any need of brain retraction (10,18), especially because the frontal lobes fall toward the back because of gravity. The frontal lobe is the largest of the four major lobes of the brain in mammals, and is located at the front of each hemisphere (in front of the parietal lobe and the temporal lobe).It is separated from the parietal lobe by a groove between tissues called the central sulcus and from the temporal lobe by a deeper groove called the lateral sulcus (Sylvian fissure). the frontal lobes development function and pathology series for the international neuropsychological society Oct 04, 2020 Posted By Irving Wallace Media TEXT ID f1080a912 Online PDF Ebook Epub Library covers the evolutionary significance of the frontal lobes typical and atypical development pathways the role played in normal cognition memory frontal lobe is one of them Fonction.

FLD - Frontal lobe disorder. Menu Search. The frontal lobe of the brain (located behind the forehead) handles all thought and voluntary behavior such as walking, speech, and problem solving, and some aspects of emotion. The most rapid change in the frontal lobe occurs right before adolescence, when neuron growth surges. the frontal lobe operate in such a way to allow us to cut free from the past tense and its way of functioning. In clinical practice, a clinician should have a high index of suspicion of possible frontal lobe involvement in treatment-resistant disorders as many clues to frontal lobe involvement come from subtle signs and collateral history, e.g. The frontal lobes of the primates, especially humans (particularly the prefrontal cortex) develop later in an individual's life and are disproportionately bigger than the frontal cortices of other species (Fuster, 2002).

The frontal lobe, an important part of the brain, is not fully connected. (28). This can affect concentration and decision-making skills. The frontal lobes are an area in the brain of mammals located at the front of each cerebral hemisphere, and are thought to be critical for advanced intelligence. Epub 2011 Apr 13. The bottom of the frontal sinus falls at the level of the base; it seems logical to use the most direct angle of attack according to the axis of the base.

Are Windows Runtime asynchronous operations guaranteed to complete?
The Windows Runtime uses asynchronous operations, which are operations which start and return immediately, and then notify you when the operation has completed. This lets you do other things while waiting for the operation. Most programming languages nowadays have built-in support for this style of programming, usually by using some variation of the keyword await.
Is there any guarantee that a Windows Runtime operation will eventually complete?
Is there any guarantee that any operation will eventually complete?
For example, you might display a dialog box to the user by calling MessageBox.ShowAsync. This completes when the user responds to the dialog. But what if the user isn’t there? The dialog box remains on screen indefinitely. Now, it’s possible that the user might return someday, so you might argue that the operation hasn’t definitely gotten stuck, because the user can always unstick it by responding to the dialog box.
The AnimatedVisualPlayer.PlayAsync method completes when the animation stops. This happens naturally if you ask the animation to play to the end and stop, but if you ask for a looping animation, then it doesn’t stop until you manually call Stop to stop it. Does this mean that there’s no guarantee that the PlayAsync will ever complete? I mean, your program can always unstick it by calling Stop.
Each asynchronous operation defines the conditions under which it will complete. If those conditions are never met, then it will never complete. There’s nothing special about asynchronous operations here. This can happen with synchronous functions, too. If you ask WaitForSingleObject to wait for a handle that will never be signaled, then it will never return.
Bonus chatter: You can easily create your own Windows Runtime asynchronous operation that never completes.
winrt::IAsyncAction HangAsync()
co_await std::experimental::suspend_always{};
The suspend_always object suspends and never wakes up. Awaiting it will never complete. And that means that the IAsyncAction you created from it will never complete.

What if something extraordinary happens, like a network driver has crashed while I was downloading a file. Is some outcome of the operation guaranteed, or it’s completion is a best effort and in unlucky circumstances operation might stuck indefinitely without anything material left to wait for?
Raymond Chen March 27, 2020 9:29 am
If a network driver initiates a read request and never completes it, then that’s going to make all the higher layers wait indefinitely for the result of the I/O operation. I would argue that that’s a bug in the network driver. There’s nothing particularly special about asynchronous operations here. A synchronous ReadFile would suffer the same fate.
Piotr Siódmak March 27, 2020 4:58 pm
With network stuff, never completing is a given – you should assume it might happen, since it involves parts that are out of your and your system’s control. An HD Driver fails to respond? The operating system knows the driver it controls is supposed to respond and has a watchdog keeping it in check (there’s a bluescreen if the system drive doesn’t respond for 2 minutes I think). With network it’s up to you to specify a timeout policy. Maybe you’re listening on a UDP port to see who will report within the next 5 minutes, or maybe you’re waiting for an HTTP response and should give up after 2 minutes.
The point is that with the file system, the OS can help you since it encapsulates that. At least it should by calling the callback with some parameter specifying cancellation due to timeout (whether the specific implementation actually does that is a different story). With network protocols (above TCP or UDP) you’re on your own, because noone other than you knows anything about it.
Raymond Chen March 27, 2020 7:30 pm
Presumably a read from a network socket will at least complete when the socket connection is lost. That’s all the network stack’s problem. If the network stack says “A call to read from a socket may never complete, ever” well, that’s their decision.

Deep inside Windows, there are (or at least were at some time) some wait operations which are intended never to complete – after the Session Manager (SMSS.exe) creates the first CSRSS.exe instance, it waits for that instance to exit, which should never happen since it’s a critical process. (As I recall, if it does complete, it triggered a BSOD/BugCheck, but the ‘critical process’ flag has the same effect too: I’d guess this is because that predated the addition of critical process flags?)

« St. Paul, Minnesota: Teachers Strike to Demand More Investment in Services for Their Student
Ohio: Governor DeWine Announces Three-Week Spring Break and Says Don’t Worry about the State Tests »
Democrats Propose a Response to the Coronavirus. Republicans Say No, We Need Tax Cuts.
March 12, 2020 //
Last night, House Democrats introduced the Families First Coronavirus Response Act, which includes:
Free coronavirus testing for everyone who needs a test, including the uninsured;
Paid emergency leave with both 14 days of paid sick leave and up to three months of paid family and medical leave;
Enhanced Unemployment Insurance, a first step that will extend protections to furloughed workers;
Strengthened food security initiatives, including SNAP, student meals, seniors nutrition and food banks;
Clear protections for frontline workers, including health care workers and other workers who are in contact with those who have been exposed or are responsible for cleaning at-risk places;
Increased federal funds for Medicaid, as states face increased costs.
According to USA Today, Republicans objected to the Democrats’ proposal:
The Families First Coronavirus Response Act is being brought to the floor less than 24 hours after Democratic leaders unveiled the legislation, a stunningly swift turnaround that indicates Congress’ alarm about an emergency that has so far claimed 38 lives in the U.S., roiled the stock market, prompted a ban on travel from Europe and forced the suspension of the NBA season.
It does not include a payroll tax break that President Donald Trump is calling for. And GOP House leader Kevin McCarthy, D-Calif., said the Democratic package “comes up short.”
One of his criticisms is that the way the bill ensures paid sick leave would take months to administer, long after the relief is needed.
Even if it passes the House Thursday, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell signaled his opposition to the Families First measure.
“Unfortunately, Speaker Pelosi’s first draft from late last night was off-base,” the Kentucky Republican tweeted. “It does not focus immediate relief on affected Americans. It proposes new bureaucracy that would only delay assistance. It wanders into policy areas that are not related to the pressing issues at hand.”
Trump said Thursday he opposes the bill as well, partly because it doesn’t have the payroll tax cut but also because it includes “goodies” he said Democrats have been trying to get approved for years.
Doesn’t the Bible tell us to feed the hungry and help the sick? Is there anything in the Bible about tax cuts?

aggggh!
As more people fall victim to COVID-19, the survivors, family’s and friends, will remember what Trump and the GOP did as they fiddled and the U.S. burned.
It is possible that the death rate from COVID-19 will reach into the millions before the pandemic runs its course.
Trump and the GOP only think as far as tax cuts. How about actually HELPING people? No. Can’t do that…too expensive and too much bureaucracy. Better to let people struggle and end up on the streets.
They believe in rugged individualism. If you are poor, it is your own fault. They think they all earned whatever they have and everyone else should emulate that and not expect any government aid. Let them eat cake. Or starve. Or die in the gutter.
Mike Pence squirms when confronted with damning coronavirus testing numbers
Mike Pence should squirm. According to the Centers for Disease Control, eight Americans were tested for coronavirus on March 11.

On the same day in South Korea, 10,000 people were tested for the virus.

April Featherkile says:
Leave it up to the physicians to determine who needs to be tested. If a person is asymptomatic without contacts why would you test to get a negative result?. There are limited kits …at the moment. Companies are making them that did not prior to this pandemic. Original kits were made in Germany and Spain and are given out as they can but they have their own problems in Europe.. Incidently, a kit holds around 800 diagnostic sets. The states are responsible to set up protocols and do testing and quarantines. Cities will contact the state health departments first. for kits and diagnostics. Some states may be inadequate in funding the HDs The CDC cannot be expected to test the whole US.
This kind of conversation causes panic. Some of these bills will take a very long time to enact. Trump has moved things at a terrific speed. The government had done an amazing job responding to this situation and that is because calmer heads have prevailed. I have never seen such a gathering of experts. To blame one person for this or expect him to solve the ills of the world is ridiculous. You are probably well educated teachers but not the experts here. I was appalled when I read the childish comments regarding the presidents speech. This is a time to work together and solve this…and we can, if you put politics aside.
Trump has done nothing except to close borders. The virus is already here, and the CDC says we are not moving fast enough to test people. On March 11, 8 people in the nation were tested. South Korea tested 10,000 people on the same day. Trump is an incompetent buffoon.
April,
Trump fired the global pandemic team in 2018 and never replaced them. He now wants to cut the budget of the CDC.
Look at the number of people tested in this country on March 11: 8 people. Eight people tested on March 11. These are government data:
I’m sorry but your post is just silly. What in particular has Trump moved at a “terrific speed”? Have I missed something? The only things I’ve noticed are a couple of half-assed travel bans, the latest of which actually allows US citizens to freely go to Europe & return [perhaps carrying virus picked up there]– & to accomplish that, he had to pull our govt-apptd experts out of Congressional hearings yesterday– whose input was crucial to formulating legislation– for the entire afternoon, setting us back another day.
We’re two months into this thing: S Korea is testing 10k/ day while we have yet to test 10k total. Explain how that, & our current belated floundering to scale up testing is anything but a failure. Related: another great Trump move done at “terrific speed”: in 2018 his admin made a series of cost-cutting decisions that gutted the nation’s infectious disease defense infrastructure, including ousting officials tasked with directing a national response to a pandemic. In Congressional hearings today, both Redfield and Fauci acknowledged that was a serious problem & that pandemic response team should be reinstated immediately.
The current Trump budget cuts funding for the CDC in the midst of this global pandemic.
April Featherkile :“Trump has moved things at a terrific speed. The government had done an amazing job responding to this situation and that is because calmer heads have prevailed.”
You obviously don’t get the same news that I get. Trump is trying to ‘make this go away’ by saying lies and is working to suppress the facts from getting out. For the first time, he has a problem that he can’t call a nasty name or sue. It is totally out of his league.
The thought occurred that this administration is not speeding up the testing because they want to keep the reported numbers low. Low numbers, declare success. But people with the virus don’t get tested, don’t get treated, spread the disease, death rate rises.
Didn’t Rush Limbaugh say the virus was just “the common cold”?
I have read on Forbes and elsewhere that a number of economic experts are recommending immediate cash outlays to citizens– perhaps on the order of $1500/ head– as a more efficient & sensible stimulus than payroll tax cut, to mitigate against instant deep recession. The thinking seems to be, that would at least patch us through the next month or two, as work suddenly disappears for massive nos of gig/ wkg-midclass workers serving those who are suddenly staying home from regular & special activities, & also for health-wkrs who need childcare for kids home from closed schools.
No comment on what I think should happen.
An Australian official who met with Attorney General William Barr and Ivanka Trump in Washington last week tested positive for coronavirus.
Friday, March 13, 2020 5:50 AM EST
Peter Dutton, a hard-line conservative and former police officer who has beenrelatively quiet in the midst of the outbreak, said on Twitter that he had tested positive for the virus that causes Covid-19. “I feel fine and willprovide an update in due course,” he wrote.
The US ‘can’t afford’ to help provide food, free testing, healthcare, extend unemployment insurance or any type of help for the needy. What this country really needs is another phucking tax break!! That will definitely help.
At least 6 states will close all schools, affecting millions.
At least six states and several large school districts moved on Thursday to close schools for at least two weeks, extreme measures that they hope will stem the spread of the coronavirus, but which come at the cost of upending the daily lives of 6 million schoolchildren and their parents.
All public schools, and many if not all private schools, in Oregon, Ohio, Michigan, Maryland, Kentucky and New Mexico were told to close beginning next week, and the governor of Washington State ordered all schools shut in three counties near Seattle. The Houston Independent School District, the largest school district in Texas, also said it was closing for two weeks.
The actions came as the number of people who have been infected with the coronavirus in the United States jumped by nearly 400 on Thursday. The virus has been diagnosed in more than 1,650 people in 46 states and has killed at least 41 people, according to a New York Times database. The closings could have a severe effect on parents who will need to find child care, and on the many students who depend on the cafeteria for food and the school for shelter.
In Kentucky, for example, 75 percent of public school students are eligible for free or reduced-price meals. In Ohio, there are more than 25,000 students who are defined as homeless.
From The Hill:
Canada’s prime minister, professional basketball players, and Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) were among the VIPs on Thursday who found themselves waiting for coronavirus test results because of concerns they could be infected, and potentially pose risks to others.
Trump shrugged off the possibility that he, too, might be in that category after being in close proximity at Mar-a-Lago last weekend with an aide to Brazil’s president who tested positive for the virus (Reuters).
On Capitol Hill, Anthony Fauci, the administration’s top expert on infectious diseases at the National Institutes of Health, told Congress that weeks of difficulty distributing enough coronavirus test kits around the country allowed the respiratory virus to defeat the nation’s containment efforts. He called the public’s often futile efforts to get tested a federal “failing.”
“The system is not really geared to what we need right now — what you are asking for,” he told a lawmaker at a hearing on Thursday. “That is a failing. It is a failing. Let’s admit it,” he said (The Hill).
President Trump tried to cast the global outbreak of the coronavirus as a liberal conspiracy intended to undermine his first term, lumping it alongside impeachment and the Mueller investigation.
Looks like the Orange Blob is learning, very slowly learning. Is it still going away by April?
The Hill:
But as the seriousness of the situation set in across the country and the number of confirmed cases surpassed 1,000, the White House cancelled a planned trip by Trump to Nevada and Colorado this weekend.
Trump’s presidential campaign on Wednesday also postponed an event next week in Milwaukee, Wis., where Trump was to speak. It had been announced the previous day.
On Thursday, a morning after delivering a sober address on the virus from the Oval Office, Trump signaled he is likely to cancel plans to hold a rally in Tampa, Fla., that hasn’t yet been formally announced by his campaign, saying he didn’t want backlash and that people needed a “little separation” until the coronavirus outbreak subsides.
The day before Trump canceled his trips, he boasted that he was going to Nevada to show that nothing would deter him.
It NEVER ends. Trump doesn’t want to lose face by declaring a national emergency and is waiting for Jared to ‘talk to relevant parties’ and present his findings. OMG! The IDIOTS are running this country!!
Part of Trump’s hesitation to declare a national emergency has seemed to be about saving face. Just last week, for example, he said it would be unnecessary. “I don’t think you’ll need that because I really think we’re in extremely good shape,” he said. Declaring an emergency after making comments like that would put in stark relief the flat-footed nature of his initial reaction.
“Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar is pushing for the designation. But Vice President Mike Pence, who Trump tapped to lead the administration’s coronavirus response, is wary it could trigger an economic tailspin,” Politico’s Anita Kumar reported on Wednesday. “There’s no deadline for a decision, but one of the people familiar with the talks said Trump’s aides will not give the president a final verdict until Jared Kushner, the president’s senior adviser and son-in-law, talks to relevant parties and presents his findings to the president.” The story quotes an unnamed “Republican who speaks to Trump” saying: “The president isn’t persuaded because [an emergency declaration] contradicts his message that this is the flu.”
Starving people always makes them look for jobs. How many low paying jobs are now available, esp? Trump is PURE EVIL!!!
TRUMP ADMINISTRATION WON’T POSTPONE FOOD BENEFIT CUT
Since last week, Democrats have called on President Donald Trump’s administration to delay a planned food benefit cut because of the rapidly expanding coronavirus outbreak, but administration officials have said no. Starting next month, rules will tighten for unemployed adults who don’t have minor children or disabilities, a policy that will shrink food benefit enrollment by 700,000, or about 2% annually. [HuffPost]
Brendan Birth says:
One of my friends put it best the other day: monetary solutions to an economic crisis caused by a public health crisis just doesn’t make sense. In order to deal with an economic crisis caused by a public health crisis, you try and improve the situation with public health.
I feel sorry for the people who have to work at Trump’s resort. How widely has coronavirus spread at Mar-a-Lago? I feel sorry for security people who have to constantly protect the Orange Blob. He lives for having 100’s of pictures taken.
Second Mar-a-Lago guest tests positive for coronavirus
BY TAL AXELROD
A second person who was with President Trump at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida this past weekend has tested positive for COVID-19, the diseased caused by the novel coronavirus.
Trump has sought to downplay the interaction with the press aide to Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, even after photographs emerged of the two in close proximity to each other and shaking hands.
“That night, I was taking hundreds of pictures,” Trump said during an earlier exchange with a reporter about the matter.
However, Trump reversed course during remarks at the White House Friday, saying he would be tested…

Why Trump declared COVID-19 a national emergency — and what he denied responsibility for…PBS News Hour
Friday was another day of mass closings and cancelations as schools, sports and travel shut down amid the novel coronavirus pandemic. President Trump also declared a national emergency to increase funding for a federal response, and he appears to have a deal with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for related legislation. Amna Nawaz reports and Lisa Desjardins and Yamiche Alcindor join Judy Woodruff.

This will be going to add performance to the device. According to some rumours in a Twitter account, Apple products are facing delayed from Some weeks. The new iPad will also have some extra RAM.
According to sources, there is no much information about pricing and availability. The new iPad model maybe a low-cost phone. The current iPad is also a cheap model, which is priced at $330. We have to see if there is any change in cost or have the same price. If we talk about availability, we may have it at the end of this year.

Rediscovering OnLive… After It’s Already Too Late
E3 2010. I have a secret backroom meeting with the VP of OnLive, set up for me by a site that currently pretends I’d never worked for them. I’ll admit: I was not really looking forward to it. OnLive had a LOT of negative press at the time, mostly due to the whole button-delay-due-to-lag thing that was probably blown way out of proportion. But whatever.
He showed me OnLive working on an iPad. He showed me their new universal controller. He told me about how they were expanding to the U.K., where pings are around 50 instead of the U.S.’s ~200. He let me play Homefront on a tablet. He gave me a micro console, and an OnLive press pass (which I promptly abused by “purchasing” every game in their library). The best part, to me: there was no lag. Sure, the E3 setting means that there will always be the most pristine network and gameplay environment (don’t want to give press people a bad impression!), but I was impressed. I headed home with high spirits about the platform, ready to tell the world all about how great OnLive actually was.
Sadly, my micro console only came with an HDMI cable, and I was living in the past with a 21″ pre-HD console TV. Sure, I could play my hundred-or-so new games on my computer, but my laptop gets so hot that it burns off my thigh hair, so it’d have to be a pretty amazing game to be worth the pain. Nevertheless, I was able to test out the micro console at a friend’s house… where OnLive performed even better than at my E3 meeting. Then, back to my SD life, I promptly forgot about OnLive. Just like everyone else, it appears.
Two years later, just days before a much-lauded same-day-as-retail launch of Darksiders II, it’s announced that OnLive has laid off most of their staff and has been purchased by Lauder Partners, one of cloud gaming’s original investors from back in the formative days of hardware-less gaming (2009). Everyone (well, the whopping 1,600 of us with OnLive games) fears that the licenses we purchased are now null and void. Luckily, even after the exit of OnLive head honcho and CEO Steve Perlman (he’s being replaced by Lauder Partners head Gary Lauder), the OnLive service will remain uninterrupted, like it has every minute of every hour since it launched. But then again… it took less than a week after Perlman stated he was staying with the company for him to leave for good. Promises really aren’t worth the paper they’re written on.
Meanwhile, I finally got an HDTV. I boot up my micro console for the first time in two years, and… it’s wonderful. Playing Batman: Arkham City for the first time, I only had two minor graphical hiccups. No lag. No discs. No loading. Someone even popped in and watched me play for a while – pretty cool. It helps that I finally have a steady internet connection and a fancy TV, but… man. Cloud gaming, if they can make us feel like we won’t lose every penny we’ve spent on licenses when the platform goes belly up, is the future. It’s just not the present. There’s still too much uncertainty over ownership, over whether your internet will work when you want to play, over whether your connection will drop during a critical mission… and after OnLive filed for a bankruptcy alternative, it’s clear that the platform is on the way out.
The thing is: people thought downloadable games would never be able to match physical products when they were first introduced, either. But now, most PC gaming is digital-only. And a lot of newer games require you to have an internet connection in order to work. Sure, that still causes lots of problems (Ubisoft and Diablo III, I’m looking at you), but it’s getting to be just the way gaming is now. Eventually, the entire wall of my living room filled with old software and the shelves and shelves of old game consoles sitting under my TV will not only be obsolete, but they’ll be a relic of a model of gaming that doesn’t even exist anymore. Someday we’ll receive television transmissions directly into our brains, and games will be played without controllers, systems, or even screens. But change is hard. It’ll be a while.
I’m glad that I still have the chance to live in both worlds now, if just for a little longer. If you have a chance, give one of their games a spin. Most of the games – even AAA titles – have a free demo. The worst that can happen is that you don’t download a game that you’re playing for free. Weird concept, but it really works. Too bad we’re all too scared to give up the way things used to be done.

Hm. It might be crass to say that they appeared before their time, but, well, it’s basically true. Looking at the Verge’s article on this (http://www.theverge.com/2012/8/28/3274739/onlive-report), it’s mentioned in passing that they couldn’t manage to do virtualisation, and had one serverbox for every player. Thats.. that is really, really bad. I terms of performance, sure, it’s great, but as for actual profits, that really means that they needed to extract enough money out of every single subscriber to cover the costs for buying and upkeep of an entire box. Imagine if they had grown to, say, steam levels, with some 20mil registered and 4-5mil concurrents at peak. What then? 20 million server boxes? Heck, 5 million? That’s still pretty much insane.
As for OnLive’s concept itself.. well, here’s the thing – it didn’t offer a real benefit for your avg player. They either have a console hooked up to a big TV, or a computer of some kind that suits their needs (low-fi indie retro gaming, or hi-def superAAA games on max). If they are into portable games, they’ll get a handheld, or an ipad/iphone. I really don’t see an actual market niche that deliberately benefits from cloudstreaming like this beyond, well, the “oh, it actually works and is kind of cool”. Yeah, you could say that the sub cost models are cheaper for the player compared to buying each game separately, but, really, there’s the question – if the cost to player is so much lower, how does OnLive manage to break even? They have to pay for hosting the games too…And the more of a good bargain OnLive turned out to be for the consumer, the worse profitmaker it was for OnLive’s devs / shareholders.
P.S. If Amazon’s AWS cloud would go into cloud gaming, then *that* would possibly be the first real success. It’s a massive billion-dollar-gorilla. Esp. as amazon is alreayd known for selling games both on disc and digitally.
Onlive was my gaming life raft last summer before I had a decent gaming PC…their deals are just as insane as steam and as long as you have a decent connection, there’s no significant lag.
That said, I had the exact same problem with not having an hdmi compatible TV, and as soon as I did have a good PC, I all but abandoned Onlive. They’re definitely a good hint of what’s to come, but I don’t think that high-speed internet is universal enough for it to be currently viable. I still use my account occasionally to play on my phone, but it overheats incredibly fast and does lag noticeably. Best wishes to OnLive for the future, but I think they’re in for a rough few years.

These are the two biggest things about the service that I think OnLive isn’t selling well to the public:
1) You can play these games with an eMachine from 1998 or a flippin’ Netbook if you have a solid internet connection. Show people that you don’t need a $500 graphics card to play the best and newest games.
2) The PlayPack. For $10/month you can play like 150 different games, as much as you want. It’s like Netflix for games, and, by all rights, this should have taken off like crazy. But it’s like OnLive just… didn’t know how to explain that to people. Even saying now, I barely care about how inherently super cool that fact is. Like a GameFly subscription, but without waiting to receive the games in the mail, or even for them to download. Play INSTANTLY. Advertise that, and get a few killer NEW games on the service (not just some indies from 2005), and people will care. Games are expensive. Give us a good deal and we’re all yours.

2.) Sure, it is $10/month, but the limiting factor here is data plans, more notably data caps.
If we assume it sends one byte per second for an entire month, it sends 2592000 [30 days * 24 hours * 60 minutes * 60 seconds] bytes of data (Which, okay, is 2.4 MB, if my calculations are correct [based off of (25920000/1024)/1024 ]).
And while granted, that’s an extremely small amount of data over every second of the month, that’s assuming 1fps of a resolution of 1×1, not including outbound data.
For 777600 pixels on screen, at 30fps, with 16-bit audio at 44100 Hz (16-bits per Hz Sampling per second)…
That’s 3038400 bytes per second being transmitted at any one time with OnLive.
If you assume you play 10 hours a week (~1 hour a day) [40 hours * 60 minutes * 60 seconds]:
437529600000 bytes a month.
Or 407.48119354248047 GB [((4575296000000/1024)/1024)/1024]
I currently used ~20 GB last month, at an apparent high according to my data record.
In fact, to even include that amount of gaming from my current ISP, unbundled with another plan, I’d have to pay $62/month. For internet. When right now I’m overpaying at $42/month for the lowest high speed offering.
That, on top of the $10/month plan, makes it $70/month, not including netflix or anything else.
(Source: http://www.telus.com/content/internet/high-speed/compare-high-speed-plans.jsp )
Thank you very much, but I’ll stick with my regular $60 disks. This is the next hurdle for cloud gaming.*
*As a PS3 and F2P MMO gamer, I don’t like the idea of paying monthly for a service on top of my current internet service to simply play online. It needs to be bounds ahead of the game for me to consider it, like with Netflix, which I still don’t, because…well, I don’t really watch movies often enough to justify it.
See in America we don’t have data caps, it’s just “Internet.” I feel bad for countries with home Internet that’s capped like our non-unlimited phone Internet.
That said, the big sell for cloud gaming for me, in my opinion, is gut instinct sales.
Imagine if, for Steam, when you bought a game and had to wait for a 9GB game to download (Something like, Jade Empire, or the 11GB Tomb Raider Legends) – but then Steam gave you the option of paying $5 right now to gain access to a temporary OnLive subscription that lasted until the download finished, transfering the save file from that use to your computer when it did finish. Maybe even throw in during patching support to sweeten the deal.
If they did that, I’d totally be on that like white on rice. I had the misfortune recently of impulse buying Jade Empire for PC on Steam at 1:00 a.m. one day, because all the stores were closed anyways, and then had to wait until 3:30 to begin playing it. 😐
So there has been a Spotify for games for few years and nobody knew?
I remember reading some articles way back when and Mr Young did write his thoughts about the service. Already then it was clear that this is the future of gaming, but back then it was still mostly on concept level. But if the company is now going down and most people have not even heard of the service, then it is going down because of the lousiest marketing and management department a gaming company has ever had.

Pho My Lien Rolls in its Under-$5 Menu
Digest Foodie Fare
Story By: Dining Out Team |
Pho My Lien has long been highly regarded among local foodies for its delicious Vietnamese cuisine, generous portion sizes and affordable prices. And now, the locally owned eatery is going one step further by offering a monthly special for less than $5.
“The reason we’re doing this is because of the economy,” says Walter James, who is a business partner with Pho My Lien owners Tommy Dang and Lien Bui. “We want to give customers a very reasonable lunch or addition to their meal for a very reasonable price.”
Specialty plates include BBQ Beef Short Ribs ($10.50), Shrimp Fried Rice ($10.50), Hot Spicy Curry with choice of chicken, beef, shrimp or tofu ($10.95) and Hot Spicy Lemongrass Stir Fry ($7.95).
Owners Tommy Dang, second from left, and wife Lien Bui, along with business partner Walter James, are flanked by Phoung Vo and Andy Tran outside the Aiea location of Pho My Lien.
The Spring and Summer Roll Combo is not only delicious, but affordable as well at $4.99.
Offered through the end of January is the Spring and Summer Roll Combo, a full serving of two of Pho My Lien’s top-selling appetizers for just $4.99.
Two crispy spring rolls are filled with a mixture of pork, chicken, shrimp, shredded carrots, long rice and mushrooms, while the summer roll has rice vermicelli, mint leaves and bean sprouts wrapped in paper-thin a rice sheet. Choose from boiled shrimp, shredded pork, tofu or barbecue beef, pork or chicken to go in the summer roll.
The platter is served with lettuce, mint leaves, rice noodles and the restaurant’s special peanut and fish sauces.
New specials will be available every month throughout the year. Already planned for February is a Valentine’s-themed special, and in March there will be a “jump into spring” special
showcasing the bounty of the season.
“The special always will be regular-size dishes for $4.99 or less,” James adds.
Stop in every month to see what’s new, or check out Pho My Lien’s extensive menu of authentic Vietnamese fare. Among the specialties are Rice Plate with BBQ Beef Short Ribs ($10.50), Shrimp Fried Rice ($10.50), Hot Spicy Curry with choice of chicken, beef, shrimp or tofu ($10.95), and Hot Spicy Lemongrass Stir Fry ($7.95), which comes with a choice of chicken, pork, beef, shrimp or tofu.
And be sure to sample Lien’s homemade pho, a beef noodle soup most Vietnamese people believe is an elixir that can clear the head and warm the heart, making it the perfect dish to begin or end your day. Each order of pho is served with herbs, mint leaves, bean sprouts, chili pepper, lemon wedge and Lien’s special blend of sauces. Pair it with your
choice of meat (steak, flank, tripe or beef balls), chicken, mixed vegetables or with shrimp and squid. Price ranges from $6.95 to $8.95, depending on order size and protein choice.
All menu items also are available for take-out, just call ahead to place your order.
Tommy Dang and wife Lien Bui started Pho My Lien for one simple reason: “Lien loves to cook,” Dang says with a smile.
With the help of business partner and close personal friend Walter James, the couple opened their Vietnamese restaurant 10 years ago on Ala Moana Boulevard.
“When they said they wanted to open up a restaurant, I said great idea,” says James. “The prices are good, the food is good, and she loves to cook! They like business, and they work hard at the business.”
Renovations at nearby Hilton Hawaiian Village led the husband-wife team to seek a new location for their popular eatery last year, which they found in Westridge Shopping Center.
Located on the second floor of the Aiea shopping plaza, the new Pho My Lien is a bright, cheerful space. A glass entryway brings light and an open-air feel to the dining room, which is filled with soft music, dark-wood tables and French-and Asian-inspired artwork.
Another improvement at this new location is the parking, something that was sorely lacking at the former Waikiki locale.
“We’ve got great parking here,” James says. “And the nice thing about the parking is the turnover rate. You’ll find lots of parking here.”
Despite a move halfway across the island, James says business has steadily been picking up since they reopened on Nov. 12 of last year.
“Being relocated, you just have to build up the clientele,” he reports. “The nice thing is, we’re getting a lot of repeat business and some of the old customers from the old location have found us.”
And in case you’re wondering how they came up with the name Pho My Lien …
“Tommy’s real name in Vietnamese is My, and so that’s how you get it,” James reveals, “the ‘Pho’, the ‘My’ and the ‘Lien’.”
Pho My Lien Vietnamese Restaurant
98-150 Kaonohi Street Suite B213-B
10 a.m. – 10 p.m.
Ample free parking available.

Artificial intelligence (AI) and Machine learning (ML) systems in medicine are poised to significantly improve health care, for example, by offering earlier diagnoses of diseases or recommending optimally individualized treatment plans. However, the emergence of AI/ML in medicine also creates challenges, which regulators must pay attention to. Which medical AI/ML-based products should be reviewed by regulators? What evidence should be required to permit marketing for AI/ML-based software as a medical device (SaMD)? How can we ensure the safety and effectiveness of AI/ML-based SaMD that may change over time as they are applied to new data? The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), for example, has recently proposed a discussion paper to address some of these issues. But it misses an important point: we argue that regulators like the FDA need to widen their scope from evaluating medical AI/ML-based products to assessing systems. This shift in perspective—from a product view to a system view—is central to maximizing the safety and efficacy of AI/ML in health care, but it also poses significant challenges for agencies like the FDA who are used to regulating products, not systems. We offer several suggestions for regulators to make this challenging but important transition.
AI/ML-based SaMD pose new safety challenges for regulators. They need to make a difficult choice: either largely ignore systemic and human factor issues with each approval and subsequent update or require the maker to conduct significant organizational and human factors validation testing with each update resulting in increased cost and time, which may, in turn, chill the desire of the maker to engage in potentially very beneficial innovations or possible updates. Striking the right balance is a challenge that may take time to resolve. However, ignoring all systemic aspects of AI/ML-based SaMD, such as those we outlined, may not be an option.

2012 Chrysler 200: Not Great But Maybe Good Enough....
Thread: 2012 Chrysler 200: Not Great But Maybe Good Enough....
Thank God it's not just a name change - because the old Chrysler Sebring was the ultimate Rental Car Special. A car you drove for $25 a day when on vacation or business someplace else - but which you'd probably never drive home. Or pay $300 a month to own.
Well, the Sebring's gone and the 200's here.
And it's a lot more than just a new name for an old also-ran.
Whether it's enough to help dig Chrysler out of the gopher hole it dug for itself remains to be seen.
The 200 is Chrysler's mid-sized FWD family car, a step below the RWD/AWD 300 in size, price and power. It's sold in sedan and two-door (but four real seats) convertible bodystyles.
Prices for the sedan start at $19,245 for an LX with 2.4 liter engine and six speed automatic. A top of the line 200 S equipped with Chrysler's new, much more powerful (and economical) 3.6 liter V-6 starts at $26,240.
The convertible 200 starts at $26,455 for the base Touring; a top-of-the-range 200 S convertible has an MSRP of $31,940.
The 200 was all-new last year so the '12s remain mostly the same as the 2011s. The biggest change is the addition of a new dual-clutch six-speed automatic to the lineup.
Much improved over the old (and obsolete) Sebring.
Least Desirable Car in segment is no longer a Chrysler.
Convertible is affordable and can comfortably carry adults in its back seat.
New 3.6 liter V-6 (optional in all but base LX sedan) gives the 200 almost 300 hp - and almost 30 MPG on the highway.
WHAT'S NOT SO GOOD
Base engine is still the same mediocre (power and economy) 2.4 liter engine used in the old Sebring.
Sebring's former advantage as a value-priced alternative to others is gone - at least as far as the sedan goes. It costs about the same as mid-size segment leaders like the Honda Accord sedan, Toyota Camry, Ford Fusion and Hyundai Sonata sedans.
Chrysler's long-term future is still up in the air - and Chrysler's current quality control is still an unknown that won't be known for several years at least.
Standard equipment in both the sedan and convertible coupe is a 2.4 liter, 173 hp four cylinder - same basic engine as was standard in the 2010 Sebring. The good news is this engine is now teamed up with a six-speed automatic vs. the technologically ancient four-speed automatic used before. Mileage is about the same (20 city, 31 highway now vs. 21 city, 30 highway before) but the car feels (and is) quicker than before, which is good because the old Sebring was a dawg: 0-60 took 9.5-9.6 seconds.
In the 200 with the 2.4 liter engine and six-speed automatic, the car gets to 60 in about 9.2 seconds - an improvement in pick-up you can definitely feel.
Also worth pointing out is that although the 200's base engine is a carryover it makes more power than what you'd get in a new base model Chevy Malibu (2.4 liters, 169 hp) and for less money, too. A Malibu's base price of $21,975 is almost $2,800 higher than the base price of the more powerful (and fuel-efficient) Chrysler 200 LX.
So: The dubious honor of Least Desirable Car in the mid-sized segment now falls into Chevrolet's lap.
That's something, right?
Optional in the 200 is Chrysler's new 3.6 liter V-6, an engine that Mopar has been seeding across its product lineup - everything from the new Dodge Durango to the new 200.
Its 283 hp puts it near the top of the mid-sized class. It is more powerful than the optional V-6 engines in the Camry, Accord and Fusion - and 30 hp more powerful than the old 3.5 liter V-6 used in the 2010 Sebring. So equipped, the 200's zero to 60 time drops to just under 7 seconds vs. close to 8 seconds before. At the same time, it manages to return better gas mileage, too - 19 city, 29 highway vs. 16 city, 27 highway previously.
The six-speed automatic also comes standard with this engine.
Though the 200's standard engine is the same as the old Sebring's standard engine, the 200 feels more lively because of the updated transmission and the tighter gear spacing. There's less RPM drop between each upshift when accelerating - and less abrupt gear changing when the transmission downshifts during passing or deceleration.
That's the good news.
The problem for Chrysler is that several competitor models - especially the Hyundai Sonata and its corporate cousin, the Kia Optima - give you 200 hp for less ($18,995 in the Optima) and Blue Chip rivals like the Toyota Camry give you about the same power for about the same money - but with much higher resale values and an established reputation for high-quality/reliability.
The upsell in the 200 is the optional 3.6 liter V-6. Unlike the carryover (from 2010 and before) four, this is an all-new engine - and it shows. It's powerful, smooth and (for its size/power output) very economical, too. So equipped, the 200 accelerates with greater authority than a V-6 Camry and matches moves with a V-6 Accord - while outdoing them both on gas mileage.
On handling and ride:
I was one of the few car journalists who had nice things to say about the old Sebring's super-cush AARP suspension tuning. It was one of the few new cars you could buy that wasn't trying to be a BMW. It rode quietly and softly. For the reality of American driving vs. the Car & Driver fantasy (you know, lone driver cutting corners down Mulholland Drive at 20 over the speed limit) this was - my opinion - just the ticket. Unfortunately - my opinion - the American driver has been convinced by Car & Driver (and car commercials) that he must have a car ready and able to tackle the Nurburgring, or at least its facsimile stateside - even though he rarely drives faster than 80 on the highway and usually takes every corner below the posted speed limit.
The few drivers who really do drive the way you see in the commercials - or at press events, like the Car & Driver people (and like me) don't buy cars like the 200 anyway. They buy (wait for it) BMWs... .
Ah well. It's ridiculous - and wasteful - but it's also just the way it is.
And it means the 200 is firmer riding than the Sebring - which was accomplished by tweaking/modifying the underthings to deliver a car that feels more confident when pushed and driven faster. So, for example, even base models now come with 17 inch wheels (vs. 16 inch wheels on the 2010 Sebring) with more aggressive tires. Cornering capability and steering response (sharpness) is improved. You will notice it if you drive the car at a faster pace. But if you don't, you won't notice much change - except in the form of the firmer ride quality.
It depends what you want, I guess.
I'm just a little sad to see another comfortable cruiser succumb to the silly fad we call "sportiness." Do we buy "firm-riding" mattresses and TV room furniture? Yeah, I know - they're just for sitting and sleeping and watching. Well, we mostly do at least two of the former in our cars a lot more than we do corner carving down deserted Mulholland Drives.
But, tell it to Car & Driver... .
AT THE CURB
There's nothing objectionable-looking about this car and more to the point, it no longer looks like a refugee from the late Clinton years - like the Sebring did. New projector beam headlight assemblies up front and almost-Audi LED tail lights out back punctuate a proportionate, handsome shell. Some of the previous art-deco styling cues (like the winged Chrysler badge) remain but they are more in the background now and fit the car (and the times) better.
Inside, the refit from Sebring to 200 includes higher quality materials and what seems to be better build quality/fitment of the bits and pieces. There are also nice details such as aquamarine backlighting for the gauges and iPod hook-up, which you'll find at thebottomof the center stack, just ahead of the shifter level.
But the main thing the Sebring offers that other mid-size cars in this price range don't is the option of going topless - and doing so without giving up the everyday usefulness of four real, adult-friendly seats.
The Malibu and Sonata/Optima only come as sedans. Toyota dropped the Camry Solara. The Accord is available as a two-door coupe - but not as a convertible.
There are other convertibles on the market but they're either two-seaters, or might-as-well-be-two-seaters with back seats more suitable for groceries than people. But the 200 convertible - like the Sebring - is a genuine four (even five) person ride and that is something you won't find anywhere else to the left of $30k (or even $40k) and so gives the Chrysler at least one very strong hand to play against the competition.
In fact, if you want a convertible, need four real seats - and don't want to pay over $30k, the 200 is pretty much your only choice.
Previously, when the 200 was the Sebring, this was the main reason people - as opposed to rental fleets - chose to buy this car. It's still a solid reason. And now that the car has an excellent optional engine, an updated exterior and interior, it's an easier choice to make, too.
If I were the Chrysler Decider (well, the Fiat Decider), I'd have given the 200 a better standard warranty. The same three year/36,000 mile coverage the old Sebring had carries over to the new 200. Given Chrysler's less-than-great track record in the past and its who-knows-what's-going-to-happen prospects down the road, a better warranty would probably help the 200 attract (and convince) more buyers. It's true that Honda and Toyota aren't offering better coverage - but the fact is they don't need to. People trust those brands, based on the record of past performance. The hungry newbies like Kia and Hyundai, meanwhile, understand the case they have to make and offer ten-year, 100,000 mile coverages on their powertrains and five-year, 60,000 mile warranties on the whole car.
On the upside, my bet is you could haggle yourself a helluva deal on a 200 while you're probably looking at full MSRP sticker for a Toyota or Honda - and maybe even on a Kia or Hyundai, too.
So, maybe it all works out... .
The update will help sell the 200 sedan to other-than-rental-fleets while the convertible 200 still sells itself pretty well, even without the changes - but more so now that it's actually a pretty nice car, inside and out.

Hyphens after Abbreviations and Foreign Letters
Are hyphens used correctly in the examples below? In other words, is there a rule in English that either requires or allows these hyphenations.
In my area of research, there is what is called the completely decomposed finite topology. Most sources write "the cdf-topology" to refer to this topology. Is this a correct hyphenation? Would it be correct to write "the cdf topology"?
Some source writes "the cdf-, finite and cdp-topologies", where cdp is an abbreviation for completely decomposed proper. Whereas, others write "the cdf, finite and cdp-topologies" or "the cdf, the finite and the cdp-topologies". Which one is correct, if any?
Some sources write "a 𝜏-cover", where 𝜏 is the Greek letter tau, used to refer to the topology the author is considering. However, all sources I have seen write "a Zariski cover", where the Zariski topology is named after the mathematician Oscar Zariski. Even when some mathematicians start with "let 𝜏 be the Zariski topology", later they write "a 𝜏-cover". Again, is the hyphen used correctly? Would it be correct to write "a 𝜏 cover"?
I have to confess that while I am asking for a rule (not only an aesthetic opinion), I do not know what constitutes a rule in English. So, I would be helpful if you could elaborate why the answer follows a rule, and not only an opinion.

In English, form follows usage in many things, and especially where the hyphen is concerned. Calling a prevalent usage a "rule" would be misleading. It's natural to hope for a rule that can dictate "correct" usage. There may be customs followed in specialized literature, but there aren't any reliable "rules" where hyphens are concerned. You'll find many digressions on the hyphen at ELU, such as this one. – P. E. Dant Reinstate Monica Jul 16 '17 at 18:33
A typical guideline for hyphenating nouns is
When writing out new, original, or unusual compound nouns, writers should hyphenate whenever doing so avoids confusion.
In the case of cdf-technology, we have a three-letter acronym followed by a widely understood noun. Hyphenating is unlikely to avoid confusion. In my opinion it is unnecessary, but I wouldn't go so far as to say it's wrong. An equivalent expression in everyday UK english is an HGV licence (a licence to drive a heavy goods vehicle) which is never hyphenated. Note that the german equivalent, LKW, is often hyphenated: this may have some bearing on the fact that german speakers writing in english seem to hyphenate more than native speakers.
For 𝜏-cover, we have a single letter followed by a noun. A suitable non-technical equivalent is t-shirt, which has been around for a very long time, but still there are virtually no non-hyphenated usages. Note that even when the t is replaced by tee, we still feel the need to hypenate: maybe that's because we perceive tee in this concept as a letter, not a distinct word. The same effect is observed with chi-squared: we feel the need to hyphenate because chi is not a real word but a representation of a greek letter.
For Zariski topology, there is no mistaking that Zariski is a proper name, so hyphenation is unnecessary. German speakers writing in english may, however, disagree.

I wish I could tell you that there is some rule or standard that everyone uses, but this is not the case. Nomenclature and hyphenation can vary widely, not only between various academic disciplines but also between different schools, different publications, and even different people.
If there is a standard for your area of study (I'm guessing Math) then it is likely to be an international standard, and well-documented. You'd be better off asking other mathematicians, as this is not something the average English speaker will know.
If there isn't a standard, then you're probably not the only one who is confused and annoyed, given the lack of rigor :)

Variations can also occur within the same field from journal to journal. Many journals have style guides that answers questions like this. – J.R.♦ Jul 16 '17 at 21:34

AOL to launch online TV service
AOL and Warner Bros. have announced plans to allow subscribers to be allowed to watch thousands of episodes of dozens of vintage shows online and for free. In2TV will be launched in January 2006, providing full episodes of many classic shows, such as Welcome Back, Kotter, Falcon Crest, Beetlejuice, Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, Babylon 5, La Femme Nikita and Growing Pains.
In2TV will be offered exclusively through AOL, and will not be syndicated on TV. Each show will have two minutes of commercials for every thirty of programming. The new AOL service differs from the new iTunes Video service in that iTunes offers only new programming. iTunes also sells shows at $1.99 per episode as opposed to offering programs that are fully advertising supported.
In addition to full-length episodes, In2TV will provide interactive quizzes, games, and trivia. The TV series will be orgainized into genre-themed channels, some of which are:
Starchives - Episodes featuring current stars before they became truly famous, such as Brad Pitt on Growing Pains
Punchlines - Classic comedy clips
TV Karaoke - Sing-alongs to favorite TV-show themes
Classic Crème de la Crème - Showcases of some of the most memorable episodes of a show
Betcha Didn’t Know!: The Ultimate TV Quiz - Allows fans to test their knowledge of trivia
RetroRunway - Classic fashion from TV series
StarFavs - Some of the stars' favorite episodes
Where Are They Now? - Find out where the stars are now
"This service will bring an unprecedented collection of popular TV series to a totally new platform, revolutionizing the distribution of television programming," said Eric Frankel, President, Warner Bros. Domestic Cable Distribution.
Many companies are now making efforts to avoid going the way of the music industry, by preemptively providing legal, cheap methods of viewing TV episodes online. The notion that online delivery can be particularly advantageous to vintage television shows was sparked by an MP3 Newswire article that appeared a few days after Apple announced its iTunes video service. The essay titled "Can iTunes Resurrect Old Time TV?" made a business case that older television content squeezed out of traditional television delivery schemes can be revived by new online revenue models.

People Are Roasting Patrick Mahomes for His Ketchup Use Again
Rob Carr/Getty Images
Get the Talk 1340 app for more Patrick Mahomes news
On Mahomes' weekly appearance on 610 Sports Radio's The Drive, the former Red Raider quarterback was asked about his plans for Thanksgiving. Mahomes said he'd take the CDC's COVID-19 protocols seriously and have Thanksgiving lunch with his fiancee Brittany Matthews and brother Jackson Mahomes.
You can listen to the interview below. The Thanksgiving portion of the interview can be heard below. There's also a crazy story about Travis Kelce betting on 24 in roulette in honor of Kobe Bryant.
Because it had to do with food and Mahomes has an affinity for a certain condiment, the conversation quickly turned to his one true love: ketchup. The hosts were incredulous when Mahomes said he'd smother not only his ham, but also his Turkey in his favorite red magic elixir, saying, "You gotta put ketchup on that. Turkey and ham."
Now, there's not a meal in the history of the world that gets more scrutiny than Thanksgiving dinner. I really don't understand it. Eat whatever you want; who am I to get mad at what's on your plate. I'm too busy enjoying my own food.
Twitter, however, seems to be more worried about Mahomes using ketchup on his turkey.
The bottom line here is that turkey is inherently dry. Regardless of how it's cooked, turkey is dry. You can tell me I'm not cooking it right. I'll counter that turkey just isn't that good. Do you know what is good? Ketchup. I'll be using it on my smoked turkey for thanksgiving while I watch my Dallas Cowboys beat up on The Washington Football team.

Work Health and Safety - Cleaning
Experts in this field work health and safety experts who have focused their studies on cleaning. WH&S relates to the management of risks to the health and safety of anyone visiting a business, including workers, customers, and suppliers. In this case, it primarily relates those carrying out cleaning tasks and anyone who might be affected by the manner in which they are performed. Cleaning can have potentially dangerous consequences if WH&S standards are not observed.
Some of the consequences of inadequate WH&S procedures in cleaning can be very detrimental, including injury to cleaners and passers-by. There are the usual musculoskeletal considerations of any work space, but amplified due to the hazardous aspects of cleaning, such as slip hazards, potentially toxic chemicals (to people and surfaces, if improperly used), and many more. Proper WH&S also dictates the frequency of cleaning and disinfection, which is especially pertinent to health-based services and certain areas of the building such as bathrooms.
WH&S expertise in this area is usually sought to promote the well-being of all visitors and workers in a space, and to ensure safe practices are being promoted and enforced and after cleaning has been done. Protecting workers and visitors in this way both safeguards their personal health and the interests of the company in which it has taken place, protecting them from legal action.
Experts in this area come from many professional backgrounds. Many will come from a sanitation background, having worked in cleaning before. Some will be trained OH&S experts, or generalised ergonomists. They may also come from a medical background, from doctors specialising in injuries at work to physiotherapists. The specific specialisation and background needed in your cleaning expert will be determined by the matter which requires examination.
Experts in WH&S as it relates to cleaning can be called upon to assist in policy design, enforcement and creation of safety measures, injuries sustained at work as a result of a cleaning related issue, and cases involving disinfection.

Best of 2014 (part 9)
/Under Album of the Year, Year list
Looking at the very diverse entries in this “best of 2014” series during the last weeks, we may very well conclude it was an exceptional year when it comes to French music.
But if you are truly honest there is only one Album of the Year. Or at least one Comeback Album of the Year. Or Filles Fragiles/Sourires Favourite Album of the Year.
And that is of course the magnificent album by the great Coralie Clément. Filles favourite for many years she seems to be lost and forgotten but what a comeback she did make!
To check what Guuzbourg wrote about it, see here.
Only one year ago, we were afraid she would be vanished from the music scene with a nice “Joyeux Anniversiare” and we would never hear from here in terms of full albums. But today, on the last day of 2014, we can rejoice ansd say “hurray, the guardian angel of this blog is back!”.

The television broadcast in which Françoise Hardy made her first appearance (well as far as we know) on Dutch television, has gained a mythical status.
Unfortunately not because of Françoise….
It was on October 12, 1963 when she received an Edison in Scheveningen. The television registration of this “Grand Gala du Disque” as it was called is still known in the minds of viewers (and those who only heard about it). That was mainly because of the presenter, writer and comedian Godfried Bomans. Not only did he look drunk (or at least tipsy), it was especially what he said to the award winners that made it legendary.
Especially the remark he made before the star of the evening Marlene Dietrich came on stage: “ Oh how I wish my wife had only one leg like that”. In the following days this became the talk of the town. People were talking about it, newspapers writing articles about what happened and even serious editorials comments appeared in the papers.
But what about Françoise?
I couldn’t find any references to whether she actually performed that night. Couldn’t find the complete show, and the papers don’t mention it, so I guess she only showed up to accept her award. I did find this picture in which she sings with the same dress, she wears in the show, but that was dated October 1964…
In his speech Bomans starts by staring at here saying: “my dad used to say that it is OK to stare”. Françoise seems to be at ease, and surprised but during the talk she seems pretty much a relaxed 19 year old girl.
After some chit chat about her name and the non pronunciation of the “H” in “Ardy, he gives her the Edison in the category youth, by saying: “And why, mademoiselle? Because you are an idol for the youth in France, but it is mainly because you had the courage not to imitate the Americans in your genre. You kept your original style; you write your own texts, compose your own melodies and you are a creative artist. That’s rare. It is for all that that I have the honour to present to you our sincere tribute”.
Here you can see the whole show (FH entering at 9:50)
Yearlists (8)
/Under Musique, Year list
When starting to think about 2013, my first thought was that it wasn’t a good year at all. No highlights, disappointments, a meager year in the FS history.
I listened to everything again and started making a shortlist, with about 20 names. And then the other year lists appeared. 42 different names (!) of which only 10 made my shortlist….
Maybe 2013 wasn’t that bad overall, and can we hail 2013 in the future as one of the most diverse years in FS history.
So apologies to Vanessa Paradis, Pendentif, and Laurence Hélie who were bubbling under, but here’s a yearlist with a lot of new names…
10. Carla Bruni – Little French Songs
Comeback album of the former French First Lady. All political fuzz set aside, it’s still Carla Bruni, people!
09. Marilou – Au Milieu De Mon Écart
08. Ottilie – La Histoires d’O2 – XIIII
Belgian singer with a special album, that stayed a bit under the radar. See more here
07. Sarah Olivier – Pink Galina
06. Ariane Brunet – Fusée
05. Sophie Maurin – Sophie Maurin
04.Sally Folk – Confection
03. Angèle David-Guillou – Kourouma
02. Riff Cohen – A Paris Surprising album. the title song (here) makes me happy everytime I hear it.
01. The Limiñanas – Costa Blanca
Gainsbourg with guitars.. Wonderful album! (and in january they will come to Holland. Wonder how the will perform life!)
[couldn’t find a clip of their neiw album, so here is an older one!]
Year lists (3)
/Under Musique, Video, Year list
I’m still in doubt about 2012…If you’d asked me one week ago what kind of year it was in French music, I would have said “hmm”…
Big names fell short, no album really stood out, no song kept ringing around in my head…
But that was last week. When making this list and going through all the music, it turned out 2012 wasn’t that bad. A lot of talent stood out. So no Françoise Hardy, no Berry, No Pauline Croze, no Daphné, no Barbara Carlotti….but instead:
10 Dawn Landes – Mal Habillée
When one of our French girls releases an album with English songs, we regret it most of the time. But when an American girl has the nerve to release an album with only French songs, I go “Yay!”, and give her a special reward by including her in my year list.
9 Buridane – Pas Fragile
A few years ago we heard a few songs from this chanteuse. And then silence…. Nothing more from Buridane, until this year, out of the blue there was here album.
Although we don’t agree on the title, obviously…
Check her video for “Badaboum”
8 Céline Ollivier – La Femme À L’éventail
Sweet surprise on #8. Her name was humming around on the internet for some time and there it was, her debut album “La Femme À L’éventail’, by this classical educated chanteuse. Excellent songs, very pure, and very personal. Listen to one of her songs “Au Flore” here.
7 Amélie Veille – Mon Coeur Pour Te Garder
Never heard about her before this album, but it turned out to be her third. Although it was six year since her last one. Yet another Quebecoise in a year list..Video officiel: ici
6 Céline Mastrorelli – Elle Était Une Fois
Guuzbourg wrote: “A favourite past time is to follow the progress of supersweet singer Celine Mastrorelli. She first popped up on our rader in 2008”, and now she fulfilled our expectations with “Elle Était Une Fois”. Look and listen here
5 Sophie Vaillancourt – Histoires De Filles Et De Garçons
When I first heard about this album, I had no expectations at all. It looked “poppy”, she was a former of Star Académie participant, so not really things that would appeal to me.
But then I listened to it and was pleasantly surprised. Poppy, yes, but in a folky way and it all sounds very fresh. Top 5 material!
(couldn’t find a video, but here she is singing at her own release party!
4 Mademoiselle Nineteen – Mademoiselle Nineteen
Almost missed this one in my year list, because it was very early in the year when this one came out. Sparkling sixties sound from a girl from Liege. Year lists are good for replays! Here’s the lovely retro clip of “Quelle importance“.
3 Fanny Bloom – Apprentie guerrière
What a surprise this one! And again an example of the wonderful talented pool of singers from Quebec. Won the prestigious Félix de l’Album alternatif de l’année for his album.
2 Lou Doillon – Places
This should be actually my number one..But since the whole album is in English, it makes it difficult to top the list. Since this album gets better by everytime you listen to it, it must be in in the list. (I.C.U. clip here)
1 Melanie Pain – Bye Bye Manchester
When I gave this album a first listening, I was happy and relieved… Yes, this is the kind of music, the kind of voice and the kind of atmosphere that made me a Fille fan. See her perform the title song live ici!
When it comes to defining one’s beauty, hair is one of the most significant things to put into consideration, for this reason is important that you learn about 10 facts about hair.
EllesOnParis
/Under Musique
The idea looks so simple: ask a bunch of songwriters to compose a song about every Parisian arrondissement, then have famous actresses, singers and filles sourires favourites sing those songs. A female ode to the eternal city… I wish I came up with the idea, but alas, it was Nicolas Boualami Gaubiac who deserves all credit.
The result is a project called “ElleSonParis”. And the result is as exciting as it sounds
The songwriters are big names like Alex Beaupain, Thomas Roussel, Philippe Bresson, La Grande Sophie and Alain Chamfort. And what about the line-up! We have Juliette Gréco (!), Jane Birkin (!) Charlotte Rampling and Hanna Schygulla on one side and Zaza Fournier, Adrienne Pauly, Agnès Jaoui, Elisa Tovati, Irène Jacob and more on the other.
“ElleSonParis” is a musical tour through the arrondissements of Paris. They pay tribute to the Paris’ neighborhoods, all with their different character and own history.
Some of the songs are a bit so-so (one is not better than the high school musical level, but I won’t tell your which one…), but in general it is very nice trip into the City of Light.
Jane Birkin sings a song for the 16th arrondissement. A sober song with some with piano (or is it a harpsichord?) called “5, Avenue Marceau”. Just in case you wonder: that was the home address of.. Yves Saint Laurent. And Chez Régine? We’ve all been there, no?
Jane Birkin – 5, Avenue Marceau
Adrienne Pauly – Chez Régine
10 Sexiest Women in French Music Today (4)
Countdown time for the sexiest women. Time for number 4: the girl with the gap, the former mrs. Depp.
4. Vanessa Paradis
She’ll be forty at the end of this year, #4 in this list of 10 Sexiest women in French Music Today. Today, and twenty years earlier too, we might add. Not that we consider ourselves worthy, but when a lot of women around the world got their hopes up when Johnny Depp and ‘Nessa called their relationship quits earlier this year, we certainly balled our fists. Vanessa. Ah Vanessa!
She started her carreer as a teenager with “Joe le Taxi” (actually she even started earlier), and via ‘Tandem’ (featuring what is wideley considered to be the sexiest French videoclip ever), recently peaked with ‘Divine Idylle’. She got better by the year.
A wise man once wrote: “Vanessa Paradis is just another reason for us to thank France. She has mystery and rebellion all bottled up in what looks like an innocent appearance – but that’s surely all a façade”.
Actually that makes her the ideal ‘Fille sourire’: sweet singing, sexy, mysterious, beautiful, with a certain sense of innocence, and of course very good music that gets better too. And did I mention already that little sexy gap between her teeth?
Vanessa Paradis – Irrésistiblement
We’re sorry. There is a lot happening. And we tend to miss things. That is the only reason I can find for writing so late about our sweetheart Berry. We only mentioned her here. Nothing more. And of course Berry deserves more (and not only because she is the French singer I saw perform more than once here in the Netherlands).
But what to think about the new album “Les Passagers” that we have to wait about for more than two years? It is a lovely album. If you like Berry that is. Don’t we all? That said, it doesn’t really surprise. There are no songs that really stand out, like we had on her first album, “Mademoiselle“. That album, #2 on the 2008 yearlist, had songs like the title song “Mademoiselle” and “Le bonheur” keep humming in your head. But even, after a few rounds of listening I can’t name a song so intense on the new album.
But still, more of the same isn’t always a bad thing. That proofs this song “Ce matin”.
Be honest, isn’t that the Berry we like to sing for us for ages?
Berry – Ce Matin
See the video for Si C’est La Vie here
Fredda
Some filles take long times between albums. Not our Fredda. She is very dedicated when it comes to new albums. Almost every year she serves us with a new one. In 2007 she released “Toutes mes aventures” and in 2009 “Marshmallow Paradise“.
There were also two sixties cocktail albums as Radiomatic together with Pascale Parisot, in 2006 and 2010).
and now there is “L’Ancolie” (Columbine in English). I haven’t heard or read much about it and that is a pity, to be honest. Because it is a wonderful, melancholic album. On this new album she works closely together with Pascale Parisot, Bastien Lallemant and Filles Sourires’ own Marianne Dissard.
Here is the video of the title track “l’Ancolie“. This is the video for “Il ne me reste”.
On the albumm there are two songs co-written by Marianne: “Journal Intime” and the first track of the album “Morin Heights”. Since that is an ode to the place where the album is conceived I’ll bring it to you here:
Fredda – Morin Heights
SoKo Live
I already wrote about my crush on Soko.
Last Tuesday, I went to a show in my hometown Rotterdam. To be honest, I didn’t know what to expect. The show she gave a few days earlier in Brussels got both enthusiastic and negative reviews and last week she cancelled a few shows in France because of illness and depressions so it could be good or bad.
Soko came on stage and told us we would start with a surprise act. Her brother Maxime sang two songs, while Soko herself was singing backing vocals and playing drums.
After that Luke Rathborne came on stage. He is a singer-songwriter from New York and also member of Soko’s band, and he wasn’t bad but not very impressive and struggled with the problem of this venue: people chatting to each other instead of listening.
And then Soko came on stage… What followed was a two hour long show, and a rollercoaster of emotions. Soko and her band members (Luke, Gillian McGuire on bass guitar, violin and backing vocals), ran around the stage, changed instruments and gave the impression they were all making it up on the spot.
We saw Soko singing very sad songs (“can I do another very a sad song or do you already want to kill yourself?”), was chitchatting with public (“I love you Danish people! Oh, not Danish, no. Dutch. But I’m dyslectic. Do you mind calling you Hollandish?”).
She played mostly new songs and almost her entire album. No songs from her earlier period when she had a minor hit with “I kill her”.
Surprisingly the songs with other her band members were the best with “People Always Look Better in the Sun” as one of the highlights of the evening.
There also was a therapeutic number “Destruction Of The Disgusting Ugly Hate” sang by Soko from behind the drum kit, which sounded like an early French punk song.
The last half hour of the show was for singalong with the audience, inviting people on stage (“You are so hot, may I touch your boobs”?) and asking about the legal status of touching boobs of a 19 year old girl “Is that underage here?”).
After the last song she said that she was available for free hugs “like now”, stepped off the stage and walked through the public to the back of the venue, where the merch was.
It still is hard to describe. But after seeing her live, I can’t think about the fact that it is just real. Soko is a young woman who likes to be on the podium, sharing her emotions with her audience and loves to perform. And maybe it is not that “good’ but at least it was enjoyable fun and entertaining. And maybe that is what music is about…
Here’s a rare clip of Soko singing in French.

Christmas adverts
George 1978
DYR fan
As we are just under a week away from the big day, I thought that I would talk about the classic Christmas adverts that were on TV in the 1980s and 1990s - many of them are on YouTube if you want to watch them. Children's ITV and Saturday mornings during Tiswas or No 73 were best hunting ground for toy and game adverts during the autumn.
Some classics were the good old Toys R Us one with the middle of the advert used to tell us the toys and games they were selling. Also, supermarkets and places like Argos had the special Christmas adverts prepared in the run up to the season, usually starting in November as soon as Bonfire Night is finished for the year. Woolworths - need I say more? Boots do good ones, mostly as they deal with the perfume and aftershave side of the market. Go back 40 years and we had the sub-St Winifred School Choir doing their best for the Co-op.
There were some adverts that ran for years such as the Yellow Pages one which started in 1993-ish and had the young lad who was too small to kiss his favourite girl so he used the telephone directory (Reading, Berkshire - edition: 1992-93) to stand on and do it properly - and it wasn't Robbie Williams either! The Central London edition would have been better... The Kellogg's Corn Flakes advert which was American in origin and ran for many years from the early 1990s as well - the one with the kids in the living room encounter Father Christmas enjoying a bowlful of the breakfast cereal.
Some companies did an "omnibus edition" of the year's ads such as Country Life butter, and I think that Carling Black Label did a similar one at the end of one year. And of course the "sale starts 10 am Boxing Day" adverts during holiday film ad breaks are just as part of the festive season - I go to relatives on Boxing Day, not go to a sale for a sofa or a wall unit.
Coca-Cola's "Holidays are Coming" was a masterpiece as well, and alcohol adverts increase as well, mostly sherry ones. Just as well that the drinking and driving PIFs are on their as well.
What is your favourite Christmas advert in years gone by?
Telling it almost exactly like it was so many years later - and proud of doing so!

One of my favourites was the tizer ad doing the Raymond Briggs snowman.

Theres Quite Afew Of My Favourite Christmas Adverts .
but my top 3 are the following.
coca-cola christmas truck advert.
and the sainsburys christmas advert in 2014. very emotional watch that advert. and probably the best ad from the last couple of years.
Home Alone: Macaulay Culkin Google Assistant Parody
thats quite a funny watch
Best Years Of My Childhood Was Growing Up In The Late 90's and the early 2000's . before the world went Mad
That Tesco one from the late 1990s which had Prunella Scales and Jane Horrocks trying get "carrots for the donkey", "nappies for Baby Jesus" and "marshmallows for the arch angel Gabriel" in a Christmas advert - cue a school hall stage hosting a nativity play and Scales on the right-side end of stage waving a full Tesco carrier bag saying "just in time" while Horrocks looks embarrassed while sitting in the audience. Around the same as John Cleese's adverts for Sainsbury's.

Inner and Outer Beauty: An Interview with Alessia Catena
Editor’s note: Tim Shelgren deepened his acquaintance with DC Service Corps member Alessia Catena in an interview last week.
I have known Alessia Catena for two weeks. My first impression of Alessia reflects maturity and both inner and outer beauty. She presents herself in a way that shows she has confidence and does not hesitate to take on a leadership role when asked. Conversely, she also seems to enjoy sitting quietly in a group as the others carry on, whether in serious dialogue or in rambunctious play. A recent interview with Alessia shows that my first impressions may be correct.
I was curious about her sense of style so I asked Alessia about her interest in fashion as a youth and now. With a modest smile she stated that she was “always a tomboy” growing up and feels she still is. Unlike one of her sisters, with whom she compared herself several times, Alessia doesn’t mind being seen wearing socks with dresses. She actually loves wearing socks with dresses -sometimes Christmas socks in August. She “dresses for herself, not others.”
Alessia may have acquired her uninhibited approach to dress while in college. There, Alessia said she was“not weird enough” compared to her classmates, who had multiple colors of hair and crazy clothes.
Alessia’s college roommate, Monica, was much like her. Monica was her first Catholic friend and they spent a lot of time together. They were both responsible when splitting responsibilities, like at the grocery store. They would each have cash ready at the register every week and would split the bill in half. They were a team, they portrayed the “same image.” At times people asked Alessia and Monica if they were dating. “That’s just weird,” Alessia and Monica would respond.
Another factor that may have contributed to their strong friendship was their majors. Monica studied music in college, and Alessia studied graphic design. Their friendship remained lively because they didn’t bog one another down with too much attention on one topic. Also, Monica was extremely neat; Alessia was not as extreme. They lived with this difference with “no problems” ever.
Back in college Alessia said to herself, “I need to find a male version of Monica.” Surprisingly, later she did. She found Chris. Chris’s personality, activity-related interests, and sense of humor are a lot like Monica’s. Now officially a couple, Alessia and Chris are nurturing a long distance relationship. Chris is living and serving in the military in Japan. Alessia sees strong potential in the relationship: she is thrilled that Chris has recently found interest in knowing more about Christ. He has immersed himself into a personal study and practice of Christianity. Is he the one?
I would not be surprised if Chris and Alessia do lean toward the idea of long-term commitment. Faith in Christ is Alessia’s number one priority in life. When I asked Alessia to imagine what advice she would give to her family and loved ones surrounding her on her imaginary deathbed, she described a life of seeking God, “intoxicating” yourself with Christ, and utilizing the power of Christ to “prepare for battle.”
Second priority to Alessia is “community.” As part of the Casa San Salvador community she is experiencing a realization that “everything is done better in community.” I like that Alessia would emphasize this idea in her last words. This statement indicates that she is advising her family and loved ones to stay together. In the decades ahead, these beliefs are sure to support her in becoming a strong wife, mother, and community member… if she chooses that route.
I certainly cannot predict Alessia’s future. But I can say that my first impression was accurate. Her self-expression in dress, her love for her friends and family, her relationship with Christ, and her belief in community do, indeed, show that Alessia is a mature young woman who possesses both inner and outer beauty.
Reflection question: What advice would you leave as the culmination of the lessons you have learned in life?

Student Whose Article About Atheist Discrimination was Banned from School Newspaper Gets $1,000 Award from FFRF February 26, 2012 Hemant Mehta
Student Whose Article About Atheist Discrimination was Banned from School Newspaper Gets $1,000 Award from FFRF
On Thursday, news broke that Krystal Myers, a high school student from Tennessee, had her opinion piece about discrimination against atheists banned from her school’s newspaper.
Krystal Myers (Adam Brimer - News Sentinel)
Two updates:
Today, the Knoxville News Sentinel (the paper that broke the story in the first place) published the article that the school banned. The editors are thereby giving it more exposure than her high-school paper would’ve offered and that benefits everybody. Thanks, Streisand Effect!
Also, yesterday, the Freedom From Religion Foundation found a way to thank her for standing up for her non-religious beliefs:
They announced that Krystal will be the recipient of a student activist award worth $1,000 — they’ll formally announce it on their website tomorrow.
Krystal will join a fantastic group of young atheist activists. Last year alone, the award (and money) was given to: Jessica Ahlquist, Harrison Hopkins, Dylan Galos, Duncan Henderson, Damon Fowler, and Sarah McNair.
Not bad company at all 🙂
Military Official Puts God in Presentation and Gets Called Out On It
February 26, 2012 Coming Out As An Atheist Isn't Easy
Adi Rule
Good for her, and good for the Knoxville News Sentinel. I was happy to see that many of the comments are surprisingly civil and supportive. Of course, there will always be the, “If you don’t believe in god, why does prayer offend you?” line, which makes me want to claw my eyes out. If I weren’t so darned passive and lazy, I’d create an account and say something pithy.
And done in one.
starskeptic
This kind of thing is typical for the KNS – best opinion section in an American newspaper, Ever.
I would be cool to see her at the Reason Rally.
Oh the irony. She wanted to publish an article on atheist discrimination, only to be discriminated against.
This type of thing happens all across Tennessee especially in the more rural areas. Teachers and administrators make it perfectly clear what their religion is (Christian), football and basketball games begin with a prayer, and every day starts with “a moment of silence” aka a moment of prayer.
I was constantly pressured by other students to become “saved” and never did anyone step in and say it was inappropriate to pressure me in that manner. All the way until I graduated the 8th grade (2001) we did the Pledge of Allegiance including “under God”. We did not do that in high school but every morning everyone gathered at the flag pole for a silent prayer. When I graduated high school I was given a Bible in the school colors that was engraved with the school name and “class of 2005”. It was technically a gift from a couple of churches but it was fully endorsed by the school and wasn’t optional.
I applaud Myers for challenging the lack of separation of church and state in Tennessee. It is certainly a problem.
Christianity has even completely taken over my online college courses from a Tennessee university. Scripture has been quoted by students on the message board in my sociology classes and instructors never step in or say anything.
Atchantga
Anon, post scripture about murder and slavery on the board.
Marc Gregory du Pille
A further update from Krystal: ”
Hey everybody, I just wanted to let you know that at the last school board meeting, there was no prayer. I also learned today that one of the teachers in my article has been dismissed. I do not know if that is why, but I suspect so”.
It seems that this was the religious T-shirt wearing one who was encouraging students to sign up to religious groups and
was also promoting her religious views in other ways that were outlined specifically in a letter to the school from Americans United for Separation of Church and State.
So a positive result, it appears.

10 Best Indian Web Series That Are a ‘Must-Watch’
Maitri Seth
We all are craving web series like sacred games or Mirzapur, but what are your other options on the best Indian web series to watch on 1Movies? Let’s find out!
So, let’s discuss the 10 best Indian web series which are a ‘Must Watch’
1. Asur: Welcome To Your Dark Side
Platform: Voot Select
Gaurav Shukla’s Asur, starring Arshad Warsi, Barun Sobti, Riddhi Dogra, Sharib Hashmi, and Amey Wagh, is a beautiful blend of mythology, psychology, science, and thriller.
The story is a journey of a quest- a quest for a serial killer who suddenly starts sending the coordinates (pictures of the dead bodies) to a forensic expert turned teacher, Nikhil Nair. Nikhil, bored from his conventional and unexciting job then decides to re-join the CBI and become a practitioner. The story digs into the world of Forensic science and mythology which clearly depicts that everyone has a dark side.
Brilliant performances and an even better script would astound you with pride. This web series is a masterpiece in its own sense, worth competing with the International market.

Q+A: Study shows trees accumulate more carbon as they age
Nine suggested SDG indicators for forestry and landscapes
FACT FILE — What are the Sustainable Development Goals?
Study adds to the evidence that carbon storage may be one additional ecological service of very large trees.
Bruno Vander Velde
Bruno Vander Velde @BrunoVelde
Tuesday, 4 Feb 2014
Studies going back to the 1990s have shown that large trees continue to increase in girth in old-growth stands.
Tree planting is critical for sustainable future but can’t fix climate change on its own
How do you protect what’s ‘everywhere but nowhere?’
Collaborative monitoring from the get-go
Tension and transformation in the patriarchy
BOGOR, Indonesia (4 February 2014) — Rather than slowing down with age, trees grow faster as they get larger, new research shows — which means they also absorb more carbon from the atmosphere, a finding that could have implications for the management of forests with old-growth stands.
A win-win option
Combining climate-change adaptation and mitigation
A paper, Rate of tree carbon accumulation increases continuously with tree size, published earlier this month in the journal Nature, found that a single older, larger tree can absorb as much carbon in a year as is contained in an entire mid-sized tree. While the report’s findings might seem counterintuitive, they are not entirely surprising, says Louis Verchot, director of forests and environment research at the Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR).
In this Q&A, Verchot — who was not involved with the study — talks briefly about the report’s implications and the further questions it raises.
Q: What is the significance of the study’s findings?
A: The study helps us understand the dynamics of old-growth stands of trees and large trees in forest stands. We have known for quite some time that tropical forests and regrowing temperate forests are taking up considerable amounts of carbon. We have also known that many old-growth tropical forests continue to remove carbon from the atmosphere, and this was clearly demonstrated in the Large-Scale Biosphere-Atmosphere Experiment in the Amazon in the early 2000s. This study helps clarify some of the questions around the mechanisms by which these ecosystems continue to accumulate carbon.
Q: Why has the speed of carbon absorption by older trees been underestimated in the past?
A: Studies going back to the 1990s have shown that large trees continue to increase in girth in old-growth stands. The study puts some perspective on relative growth within stands and helps quantify what this growth means in terms of biomass relative to smaller trees in these stands.
Q: Are the findings of the study surprising?
A. I would not call the results surprising. Like many good scientific studies, this one raises as many questions as it answers. For example, the study is based on the assumption that the logarithmic relationship between biomass and diameter is maintained in very large trees. These trees are typically under-represented when biomass equations are constructed, and this is the case for the equations used here. These equations are made to represent “average” conditions at the scale of a tree stand. Application of such biomass equations to very large trees and in time series would not detect things like progression of rot or senescence and loss of large branches, for example. So hopefully this study will spur more research into stand dynamics and the importance of very large trees in these forests.
Q: What does this mean for models of climate change?
A: Very little, actually. Such models work at a much larger scale than individual trees and are concerned more about the net ecosystem exchange of carbon between the biosphere and the atmosphere. This study tells us about how this exchange takes place, but it does not alter our assessment of the magnitude of this exchange.
Q: What are the implications for forest management?
A: There have been several studies recently on the value of very large trees in ecosystem processes. This paper adds to this evidence and suggests that carbon storage may be one additional ecological service of these trees. Thus, it should strengthen the case for including these concerns in forest management plans.

Blue Apron may put company up for sale; to close Arlington facility, cutting 240 jobs
JOSEPH PISANI AP Retail Writer
Blue Apron, the online seller of meal kits, said it may put itself up for sale.
The struggling company, which pioneered the meal-kit craze in the U.S., has faced tough competition from online rivals that also ship boxes of raw meat, fish and vegetables to doorstops. Grocers, including Kroger and Walmart, have also been selling their own ready-to-cook kits in stores.
To cut costs, Blue Apron said it will close a facility where its kits are packed and shipped in Arlington, Texas, cutting about 240 jobs. Its facilities in Linden, New Jersey, and Richmond, California, will remain open.
Blue Apron said late Tuesday that its number of customers fell 37% to 351,000 in the last three months of 2019. Revenue fell 33% to $94.3 million and it reported a loss of $21.9 million in the quarter.
“Although the closing impacts approximately 240 of our Arlington associates, we are and will be continuing to hire at our Linden and Richmond sites to align with increased volume as a result of the transfer of production,” said Linda Findley Kozlowski, CEO of Blue Apron in prepared remarks. “We expect to be adding up to 140 roles across our Linden and Richmond sites. This continued optimization enables the company to redirect financial resources into other parts of the business, including growth initiatives.”
New York-based Blue Apron said it is also considering merging with another company or selling parts of its business.
Shares of Blue Apron Holdings Inc. fell 22% to $3.40 Wednesday morning. Its stock is down about 85% in the last year.
Blue Apron has launched meals for dieters to try and boost sales, partnering with WW, the company formerly known as Weight Watchers.

2,500 tons of awesome – Archangel PSVR review
By Ron Burke
Pacific Rim, MechWarrior, Robotech, Gundam, Heavy Gear, Front Mission, Armored Core, Virtual On, Steel Battalion — the list goes on nearly forever and proves one simple fact: we are in love with giant robots. Skydance Interactive (spawned from Skydance Media – the studio that brought you Jack Reacher, Star Trek Beyond, Life, and the more recent (and upcoming) Mission Impossible movies) has delivered their freshman VR effort, Archangel, and after a surprising E3 playthrough (and subsequent nomination for best VR of E3), I was simply unprepared for just how fantastic the game would be.
Archangel starts off simply enough. You are the pilot of an experimental mech about to launch into a training mission to showcase and test its offensive and defensive capabilities. When calamity strikes, we find ourselves in a war between the protagonist’s army and a splinter human faction called HUMANX. There’s a fairly large spoiler in the first level that thrusts the main character into this war in a very personal way, so our hands-on video coverage will start at Level 2.
While Archangel supports the Dualshock controller, I highly recommend you play it with the PlayStation Move. There’s a visceral difference between the two control mechanisms that build on the immersion of piloting a giant stompy robot. The game is on rails as there’s no effective way to control your movement while independently controlling your left and right arm. You’ll need to do exactly that as each mech arm has a weapon as well as a short-duration shield that blocks incoming fire for a limited time. They are small circular transparent shields, like a Roman Gladiator Parmula, meaning you’ll have to put them into position to block the otherwise-massive behemoth chassis and head of your mech. As your weapons are mounted into the hands of the mech, alternating between firing and blocking takes up all your time — you’ll be glad that movement is automated.
If there’s one area where Skydance Interactive absolutely nails it, it’s in the presentation. While some VR games continue to look like PS2-era Tekken, Archangel is graphically on par with a lot of non-VR shooters on the market today. It’s impressive and has a rock solid framerate on PSVR — something we tested on both a launch PS4 and the PS4 Pro. Initially, Batman Arkham VR was my go-to for demonstrating VR to newcomers; Archangel just took that top spot. The first time you lift your arms, punching and shooting targets, it’s a solid reminder of why you bought a VR headset in the first place.
It’s not all roses in the graphics department, however — we need to talk about that lip synch work. Your fellow soldiers are piloting various vehicles around you, communicating with the protagonist via their in-cockpit comms system. These characters are very low-poly compared to the fantastic visuals on the protagonist’s son, and their mouths never match what’s coming out of them. Similarly, there are moments where entire buildings or vehicles will explode, raining debris all over the place, but collision is simply turned off for them. It’d make you feel more plugged into the combat if you had to block this debris, and if it was rendered at a higher poly count.
As the game progresses, your AI partner will repair the mech’s damaged subsystems, unlocking a secondary weapon for the left and right arm. Your performance in each mission yields points that can be used to upgrade your weapons, armor, and shields, as you can see in this short video below:
There are some story-driven moments when you’ll have to crush your way through obstacles, balling up your fists and punching or throwing down a “Hulk smash” on top of whatever is in your way. Unfortunately, these moments are entirely story driven. I kept waiting for that close-quarters hand-to-hand moment, but it just never came. Perhaps Archangel 2?
Regardless of how you upgrade your mech, Archangel is a challenge. Using shields and weapons, alternating between your shields and dealing damage soon gives way to swapping through your weapon payloads while juggling multiple threats in the environment. Tanks get support from shield generators, foes begin to flank you on multiple sides, kamikaze pilots roar towards you unrelentingly, and the bosses are no joke.
All in all, there’s about five hours of storyline to experience here, but it may take quite a bit longer due to the sheer difficulty, and a painful 30 second loading sequence between each level and after every death. Thankfully, the checkpoints are frequent enough that the difficulty never feels too punishing, but even on a PS4 Pro with an upgraded hard drive, the loading sequences are a beating.
Archangel fulfills the Pacific Rim mech fantasy we have yet to experience in a VR world. The fluid and engaging combat is a highlight, as is the solid tracking and intuitive controls. While there’s not a lot of replay value, it’s easily one of the most impressive ways to introduce someone to VR. If watching the trailer for Pacific Rim: Uprising makes your palms sweaty with excitement, you need Archangel in your life.

Brewster recalled a moment before her marriage with Form. Jordana said, "I was always the girl who said I'd never move in with someone before I got married, and then I just did it. I'm the biggest hypocrite ever! I had been dating him for only a little over a month, but I never went back to living in my apartment."
The love was just irresistible for the two, but time changed everything.

Ex-Whitecap DeMerit in Surrey to talk soccer at new private school
The retired American player is head soccer instructor at new Glarea Elevated Learning
Former Vancouver Whitecaps captain Jay DeMerit will be in Surrey to talk about his Rise & Shine Program at a new private school.
As Glarea Elevated Learning’s head soccer instructor, DeMerit will discuss his development philosophy at an open house there Wednesday, Feb. 12, from 6 to 8 p.m.
The event will be held at the Panorama Ridge-area Excellent Ice facility, to be renovated and expanded to accommodate the private school for its planned opening this coming September.
“As part of the Rise & Shine Program with Glarea, we want to focus on youth development, inclusion, and strong mentorship opportunities,” DeMerit said in an event advisory. “It’s incorporating all the lessons from the sport into the overall philosophy of the school; making it more fulfilling for children as they learn in this reimagined environment.”
• RELATED STORY, from Oct. 2019: Private school plans at expanded Surrey ice arena emphasize student ‘grit’
One “stream” of the Glarea curriculum is built around “creating a balance of elite soccer training on the field and all-encompassing life-skills training, with a strong emphasis on leadership.”
Wednesday’s forum with DeMerit will be followed by an open house to showcase “the Glarean experience while providing insight into the innovative approach of the new school.”
To start, the school will welcome students from Kindergarten to Grade 5, as part of plans to grow the number of grade levels annually from there, up to Grade 12.
“Glarea utilizes Challenge Based Learning within an all-inclusive Arts and Sports environment,” according to school administrators. “The K to 4 Sport Stream focuses on physical literacy, basics of movement, and the opportunity for children to experience multiple athletic programs.”
Other Glarea streams include ice hockey, skating, aquatics, volleyball, martial arts, music, dance and art.
Additional “Meet the Experts” talks at the school are planned in February, March and April, with details posted to glareaschool.com/open-houses.
At Excellent Ice, plans call for building’s second floor to become classrooms for the new school.
“The whole face of the building will change, and it looks amazing,” Nadia Hasan, founding partner of the school and a South Surrey resident, told the Now-Leader last October.
“All of the upstairs area will turn into classrooms, and the pub will become a cafeteria,” she added. “We have five classrooms upstairs planned for now, plus the cafeteria area. During school hours the pub will not be running, but after school hours the facility will continue to run as it has, for 3-on-3 hockey and those things, and the pub will go back into business – that kind of a cycle.”
The three-sheet ice arena, built and owned by Surrey-based Lark Group, has been in operation since 1999. Kirk Fisher, senior vice-president of the development company, is a founding partner of Glarea Elevated Learning.

Grocery Stores Now Being Closed Under New Lockdown Measures
GIL November 26, 2020 5 min read
Albuquerque, NM — Let there be no doubt that COVID-19 is spiking across the country. Cases are exploding and hospitalizations are on the rise. The recent spike has governments scrambling to contain the virus. It appears that everything they do, however, has the same outcome: the people get poorer, the corporations get richer, and the virus continues to spread.
A recent move by the governor of New Mexico has citizens in shock as it is one no state has implemented. Because humans need to eat, one industry that has remained largely open during the entire course of the pandemic is the grocery industry.
Although they have implemented capacity limits inside stores, grocery stores, even mom and pops, have remained open. But that is no longer the case in New Mexico. If enough employees of a grocery store test positive for COVID-19, that store must now close.
Under Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham’s public health order, businesses with four or more rapid responses in a 14-day period have to shut down for two weeks. According to KOB4, grocery stores in Albuquerque, Santa Fe, Roswell, Carlsbad, Farmington, Hobbs and Las Cruces, have been closed.
The governor is telling citizens not to worry though and that these closures won’t affect their access to the thing that sustains life.
The governor’s office issued a statement to KOB4 News TV, saying, “There is no community in the state of New Mexico where COVID-19 closures have closed off all food and water or medicine options for any community or group of people. Every single community where the virus is forcing closures has alternate stores, alternate resources. Moreover, stores are only ordered closed for the protection of public safety when the store’s staff members have an abundance of COVID-19 infections among them – surely you and everyone in New Mexico can agree that not one of us would like to be shopping among staff that are contagious.”
But John Block at Pinon Post says the governor’s office claims are “untrue and easily disprovable.” He posted photos of New Mexicans waiting in long lines outside of grocery stores with dates and time stamps. The photos were taken between Nov. 13 and Nov. 23.
“Upon the news that limits of 75 people inside each store, retailers pre-emptively began limiting capacities to begin compliance with the mandate,” Block said.
Nothing stops the spread of the virus quite like hundreds of people congregating outside of grocery stores.
What’s more, the governor’s office apparently didn’t think of the unintended consequences of closing grocery stores in some areas while opening them in others. People are now traveling across multiple counties and even out of state to get food — which is literally causing the virus to spread further.
One man told KOB 4 he and his wife tested positive for COVID-19 and had to go shopping in-person because they could not get their groceries delivered or curbside because of a lack of options — all thanks to the governor’s order.
But fret not silly peasant, the government has everything under control. Oh wait, actually they don’t have anything under control and it has been this way since day one.
If you think that the government — whose coronavirus ‘task force’ consisted of more lobbyists than it did public health experts — has your interests in mind, think again. From the start, the feds have seemingly done everything in their power to make things worse. From selling all of our PPE to China to sending out faulty tests to completely under estimating community transmission, the largest multi-trillion dollar bureaucracy the world has ever seen has completely dropped the ball in regard to the coronavirus.
As a result of utter incompetence and outright insidious backdoor deals, the United States’s response to COVID-19 has been a massive dumpster fire. The only tool left in the toolbox appears to be taking away what little freedom Americans have left.
It is easy to say “close all the non-essential businesses to prevent the spread,” when you are a governor or bureaucrat who continues to receive a taxpayer funded check. It is easy to sic cops — who are also on the taxpayers’ dime — on businesses who refuse those orders so their families don’t starve. And, it is easy to blame the public’s disobedience when those orders, mandates, and dictates fail to stop the virus from spreading.
You cannot simply close everything down and expect the American public to live off of a one-time $1,200 check. It is no wonder there is massive resistance and unrest.
The orders are so arbitrary and ridiculous in nature that even the tyrant governors who issue them have been caught breaking them. In New York, Governor Andrew Cuomo has been seen on video and photographs disobeying his own orders — which have gotten average citizens beaten and arrested. He’s even been seen hugging people while maskless.
In California, Gov. Gavin Newson was caught and exposed flouting his own ridiculous strictures on eating in restaurants — not putting his mask back on between bites (yes, he really mandated this) — while breaking the size limit on gatherings. When he was caught dining at one of the world’s most expensive restaurants, he lied to the public and said the table was outside. But photos quickly surfaced, outing his lies.
Louisiana Gov. Jon Bel Edwards — while forcing bars to shudder across the state — was caught on video breaking the gathering size limit while simultaneously hiring a private bar company for a political fundraiser.
Even Gov. Grisham in New Mexico — who is now forcing grocery stores to close — has been caught breaking her own rules. During her mandated closure of non-essential businesses, she had a store open up so she could buy jewelry.
This list goes on and on and on.
The hypocritical response by the government is not at all surprising as this is what government does — do as I say, not as I do. With political leaders flaunting their above the law status, it should come as no surprise that there is massive resistance to their mandates. With the current political climate, it should also come as no surprise that the virus has been dangerously politicized.
The arguing on the left and the right has successfully whipped the country into a fit of insanity with many folks thinking it is a hoax, ignoring basic safety precautions and others being so scared of it that they kill themselves, die in their home refusing to the go to the doctor for a treatable illness, or advocate violence against their fellow citizens for refusing to obey any of the many arbitrary dictates.
As a result, Americans are more divided now than ever and we are no closer to getting back to normal than we were at the beginning of this monstrosity. In the meantime, as kids in the land of the free sink into deep depressions while being forced to stay at home, kids in China, Singapore, Japan, Taiwan, and South Korea are going to concerts.
It seems that the downfall of the American empire may have begun, and the catalyst for it was a microscopic nucleic acid molecule in a protein coat.
