White House enacts new safety precautions as coronavirus moves closer to Trump’s inner circle
May 11, 2020 Jeff
WASHINGTON – With coronavirus exposure arriving in the West Wing, the White House is taking extra precautions to ensure the safety of the president and his staff after two administration aides tested positive for the coronavirus.
President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence will be tested daily for the virus, as will every staff member in close proximity to them. White House guests will be tested, workspaces will undergo regular deep cleaning, and staff will follow social distancing guidelines, undergo daily temperature checks and have their symptom histories reviewed, White House spokesman Judd Deere said Sunday.
“The president’s physician and White House operations continue to work closely to ensure every precaution is taken to keep the president, first family and the entire White House complex safe and healthy at all times,” Deere said.
Reporters wear face masks to interview Larry Kudlow, director of the White House Economic Council, outside the West Wing.
On Sunday, Pence’s office denied media reports that he is in self-isolation as a top Navy admiral announced he would go under self-quarantine.
Adm. Michael Gilday, chief of Naval Operations, had contact with a family member who has tested positive for coronavirus, a Defense Department spokesman said. Gilday tested negative but will be quaranting this week, the spokesman said.
Gen. Joseph Lengyel, chief of the National Guard Bureau, tested positive for coronavirus Saturday afternoon, but a subsequent test Saturday was negative, the spokesman said. “He will undergo a third test on Monday morning to confirm his negative status,” the spokesman said.
Pence’s spokeswoman, Katie Miller, tested positive for coronavirus last week, and media reports Sunday said the vice president was self-quarantining as a result. But his office denied that was the case.
“Vice President Pence will continue to follow the advice of the White House Medical Unit and is not in quarantine,” Pence spokesman Devin O’Malley said. “Additionally, Vice President Pence has tested negative every single day and plans to be at the White House (Monday).”
Back at the White House, the extra safety steps in place come after a chaotic week in which aides to Trump and Pence tested positive for the coronavirus and three members of the White House Coronavirus Task Force entered quarantine after being close to someone diagnosed with the disease.
A Navy valet who had been in the same room with Trump on Tuesday tested positive last week for the virus, which has already killed about 80,000 Americans. Pence spokeswoman also tested positive on Friday, prompting tests for six other Pence staffers who had been in contact with her. All six staffers tested negative, the administration said.
Dr. Anthony Fauci, an infectious disease expert and a member of the White House coronavirus task force, announced Saturday that he will begin a “modified quarantine” after coming into contact with someone who has the virus. Fauci has tested negative for the virus but will be tested regularly and will monitor his temperature and other health indicators, a spokesperson for the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases said. He will stay at home and telework but will go to the White House if called.
Two other coronavirus task force members – Robert Redfield, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and Stephen Hahn, commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration – said they also will self-quarantine after coming in contact with a person who tested positive.
All three and another task force member – Adm. Brett P. Giroir, assistant secretary of health at the Department of Health and Human Services – were scheduled to appear Tuesday before a Senate committee to testify about the administration’s response to the virus. They will now appear by videoconference instead.
“After consulting with Dr. Fauci, and in an abundance of caution for our witnesses, senators, and the staff, all four Administration witnesses will appear by videoconference due to these unusual circumstances,” said Sen. Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn., chairman of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee.
Alexander’s office said late Sunday that a member of his staff tested positive for the coronavirus on Sunday and that, out of an abundance of caution, the senator will self-quarantine in Tennessee for 14 days. He will work remotely and still plans to chair the Senate health committee hearing on Tuesday by videoconference.
None of the White House task force members in quarantine identified the infected person with whom they had contact. But Miller often attends task force briefings in her role as the press secretary for Pence, who has been leading the White House’s coronavirus response.
Miller is married to Stephen Miller, one of Trump’s senior advisers known for his hard-line stance on immigration.

Katie Miller, press secretary for Vice President Mike Pence, talks with Pence’s chief of staff, Marc Short, in the White House Rose Garden. Miller has tested positive for coronavirus.
Meanwhile, a personal assistant to Trump’s daughter, Ivanka Trump, also has tested positive for coronavirus, according to multiple news reports. The assistant, who is not a White House employee, has been teleworking for nearly two months and has not been around Ivanka Trump in several weeks, CNN reported.
At least 11 U.S. Secret Service members were reported to be infected with the coronavirus and about 60 other staffers were in self-quarantine, a person familiar with the matter said Friday.
The assignment locations of the sick Secret Service employees also were not identified. The service, which safeguards the country’s financial systems and provides personal protection for the president, vice president and their families, along with visiting heads of state, has 7,600 employees. Some of the more than 3,000 agents work in close proximity to those they protect.

The virus’ spread closer to Trump’s inner circle comes at a particularly inconvenient time for the White House, which has been urging states to reopen their economies and has been trying to show that life is returning to normal across much of the country.
The administration has held several carefully orchestrated events in recent days to promote such an image, including a series of Oval Office meetings between Trump and governors, nurses and business leaders. But often, such outings have ended up just underscoring the virus’ grip on American life.
Message distrupted: Pence aimed to project normalcy during his trip to Iowa, but coronavirus got in the way
Some White House aides appeared unnerved by the developments.
“It is scary to go to work,” Kevin Hassett, one of Trump’s top economic advisers, said Sunday during an interview on CBS’s Face the Nation.
Working in the West Wing is “a little bit risky” because it’s “a small, crowded place,” Hassett said.
“I think I would be a lot safer if I was sitting at home than I would be going to the West Wing,” he said. But, “you have to do it because you have to serve your country. And there are a lot of things that you can’t do except there.”
White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows insists that new protocols put in place at the White House would make an already safe work environment even safer.
“This is probably the safest place that you can come to,” he said Friday.

Manipur: CBI raids residence of senior AG office staff; recovers cash, ornaments
The officer was identified as Budichandra Naorem, a residennt of Uripok Ahanthem Leikai in Imphal West district.
Written by Jimmy Leivon | Imphal | December 16, 2020 10:13:18 pm
The sleuths reportedly recovered Rs 5 lakh in cash, gold ornaments worth Rs 15 lakh and land purchase documents, among others.
A CBI team on Wednesday raided the residence of a senior accounts officer employed at the Accountant General (AG) office in Manipur.
According to a highly placed source, the raid was conducted after the Sessions Judge, under the Prevention of Corruption (PC) Act, issued a search warrant in connection with a case registered by the Imphal branch of the CBI’s Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB). The raid started around 7.30 am and ended late in the evening. No one was allowed to enter or move out of the residence during the search operation.
On October 16, the ACB’s Imphal branch carried out a similar raid at the residence of another senior official at the AG office, recovering Rs 54 lakh in cash and gold ornaments worth Rs 24 lakh.
The official was identified as Konjengbam Ibothem, hailing from Wangoo Sandangkhong but residing at Sagolband Meino Leirak in the Imphal police station area.
The CBI filed a case against Ibothem (u/s 13 (2) r/w 13 (1) (b) of PC Act, 1988, amended in 2018) for holding disproportionate assets.
Ibothem had allegedly acquired huge assets, both movable and immovable, in his name and that of his family members, which are disproportionate to his known sources of income. The assets, amounting to Rs.58,75,321 were acquired in the period between August 1, 2005 and July 30, 2020.

The Men Who Revolutionize Women’s Clothes – Yves Saint Laurent
byIn News Weekly
Saint Laurent’s Grand Concepts
Ahead Of His Time
Bold Choices
Second Wave Feminism
Did The Tuxedo Suit Disappear?
I think it’s quite common to suggest that only women can have an impact on women’s fashion. That’s just not true. It’s particularly clear when you look at the word of Yves Saint Laurent.
Yves St Laurent was a designer who passed away in 2008. He was mentored by Dior himself and was constantly focused on female fashion.
The designer made dresses for his sisters and mother as a child, before erupting onto the fashion scene.
He was controversial, bold and his mark is still felt in the fashion world to this day.
I feel like there are a few main concepts we have to focus on when discussing Saint Laurent. First, he was one of the first designers to decide to reinvent men’s fashion designs for women.
This is quite common in the fashion world today. Back in the ’60s, it was virtually unheard of. That all changed with Saint Laurent.
He introduced iconic possibilities including the women’s tuxedo and the women’s safari jacket.
Both took the fashion world by storm and received high levels of praise.
In contrast, Saint Laurent also favored highlighting a women’s form as well. Again, during his time, that was quite rare. He created outfits that elevated the feminine features rather than hiding them away.
The styles were playful, beautiful and nowhere near as conservative as the options that the industry was accustomed to.
A further concept was using under clothing for outer clothing. Again, it’s an option that is commonly accepted today. During his time, the idea was innovative, exciting and even bewildering.
Of course, Saint Laurent was always creating designs that were not widely accepted. At least not at first. Indeed, he unveiled his Pop Art collection in 1966 and critics were completely taken aback.
There were slim-line fur coats as well as dresses. They were inspired by artists like Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein. Saint Laurent was well known for taking inspiration from art.
Potentially, the most significant impact he had on fashion for women was Le Smoking. This was the women’s tux. It had a white ruffled shirt, a satin dinner jacket and a satin side-stripe down the trousers.
Why was it so bold? Well, during this time women wearing trousers in public was quite controversial. The alternative was a black cocktail dress.
There was certainly opposition too. Many restaurants and hotels refused female guests the option of wearing the tux inside.
I love a story about Nan Kempner regarding this. After being refused entry to Le Cote Basque she removed the trousers and wore the jacket as a mini skirt.
Famously, the manager claimed women wearing trousers to dinner was akin to them wearing a bathing suit.
Saint Laurents styles were certainly part of the second wave of feminism. He had a profound impact on what women were able to wear. He helped raise the question: if men can wear it why can’t I?
It’s a question that’s still relevant today. Every so often there are protests when women are treated unfairly for wearing something a man would have no issues with.
Saint Laurent had a number of inspirations in his style choices. For instance, artist Niki de Saint-Phalle was a major point of focus.
She was well known for wearing heels with men’s suits. She wasn’t the only one. Marlene Dietrich and Greta Garbo were both famous for doing the same.
I know you probably think that this example of fashion vanished, but it’s not the case. It’s still around today and is often redesigned or reinvented to stunning effect.
For instance, it’s been remade into a trench coat and been created with shorts rather than trousers.
It is also still popular with the current designer of YSL, Stefano Pilati.
Owning Yves Saint Laurent Designs
Yves Saint Laurent’s designs are as popular today as they were in the 60s and quite expensive. You might love the idea of adding pieces to your wardrobe.
If so, I recommend you try an online fashion store like FarFetch. You’ll find great deals and offers from brands like YSL right here.
It’s a great way to buy the best and still save. You too will be able to celebrate the work of this iconic designer.
It’s fascinating to note that the work of Saint Laurent has become timeless. The concepts behind it are still just as relevant today as they were then, albeit far more accepted in society.

Home Home Performance Building Envelope
Air-Sealing Tips for Efficiency That Lasts // Part 4: Protect Your Air Barrier
BY 475 HIGH PERFORMANCE BUILDING SUPPLY TEAM
A version of this article appears in the Summer 2017 issue of Home Energy Magazine.
Click here to read more articles about Building Envelope
This is part 4 of a series that describes how to air seal the most difficult parts of buildings.
A service cavity and vented rainscreen promote durable airtightness.
Unless you intend to live like Thoreau, rising with the sun and heating your cabin with a small iron stove, your building will need utilities. But supplying utilities means putting holes in your building assembly—and as we’ve emphasized throughout this series, holes are the enemy of air barrier continuity. So what’s the best way to plan for these incursions into your air barrier without compromising its performance?
For indispensable windows, doors, and utilities—those must-have penetrations—smart planning, good sequencing, and excellent craftsmanship make all the difference. We’ve recommended flexible gaskets and airtight tapes to seal penetrations and connect them to the rest of your air barrier, which works wonders for preserving continuity. But the priority is always to reduce the number of holes; even if you have a great way of sealing penetrations, it’s better not to have penetrations in the first place.
We recommend building a service cavity, constructed inboard of your interior air barrier, and a vented rainscreen, constructed outboard of your weather-resistant barrier (WRB), to preserve the longevity of these layers. In addition to vastly reducing the number of penetrations in your air barrier, these cavities greatly decrease the likelihood that your barrier will be accidentally damaged or penetrated in the years to come—ensuring a robust, long-lasting air barrier that will do its job throughout the life of your building.
The Service Cavity: You’ll Thank Us Later
Although you may need only a single penetration to run water and electrical lines into your building, you may need many more penetrations to distribute water and electricit throughout the building. When you consider every faucet, every outlet, every gas line, you could easily end up with a hundred holes in your air barrier, each one a possible site of leakage. (That’s yet another reason why we advise against using drywall as an air barrier. Not only is drywall discontinuous from room to room, but it can be further compromised by utility penetrations.)
A service cavity constructed inboard of your air barrier helps solve this problem. It offers you a way to distribute utilities throughout the building without multiplying the number of holes in your air barrier, and it makes it much easier to install fixtures and utilities in the future, without worrying about penetrations. After the interior air barrier is installed, the service cavity is constructed by running horizontal battens that will ultimately support your drywall. This creates a space between your drywall and your air barrier in which utilities can be split and distributed, dramatically reducing the number of penetrations needed. It also separates the air barrier from the drywall, which will be cracked, screwed, drilled, and otherwise abused by the building’s occupants. This bit of distance between the two layers is the best insurance against any accidental penetrations in the future.
At the Association for Energy Affordability in the Bronx demo, horizontal battens attached inboard of the air barrier form the structural basis of the service cavity.
To construct the service cavity, we typically recommend attaching 2 x 2 or 2 x 3 battens, or furring strips, to the building studs after the interior air barrier is installed. Horizontal battens are better, because utilities are more often distributed horizontally than vertically, eliminating the need to drill service holes through studs. They also provide counterpressure to blown-in cellulose insulation. This helps to optimize density and distribution of the insulation and maximize its performance. And the 90° angle between the studs and the battens minimizes thermal bridging. After electrical wires and water supply piping have been constructed, gypsum wallboard (GWB) can easily be attached to the furring strips. For even better thermal performance, the service cavity itself can be insulated, increasing the overall R-value of your assembly.
The service cavity is a great example of a smart, affordable, simplifying solution that serves multiple purposes. It distributes utilities without unnecessarily penetrating the air barrier; it protects the air barrier from the wear and tear interior walls are subjected to; it provides an opportunity to add more insulation; and it ensures your air barrier’s health and longevity. But you won’t build one by accident, or stumble on the idea near the end of the construction process. Building a service cavity requires a bit of advance planning—but it makes distributing utilities while also protecting your air barrier infinitely easier, and it protects you from having to individually tape every outlet, every faucet, and every supply pipe (see Figures 1 and 2).
So plan to build yourself a service cavity. You’ll thank us later.
Creating a Service Cavity
Figure 1. The service cavity creates a space for utilities to be distributed throughout the building interior. It minimizes penetrations of the air barrier, which is inboard of the service cavity.
Ideal Service Cavity
Figure 2.Another look at constructing the ideal service cavity. The interior air barrier is applied over the studs and insulation, horizontal battens are layered over the air barrier, and GWB is applied as a finish over the service cavity, safely set away from the air barrier.
Vented Rainscreens: Protecting Your Weather-Resistant Barrier
We’ve emphasized the importance of your vapor-intelligent, airtight interior air barrier throughout this series. But it’s also important to protect your vapor-open WRB on the building exterior to ensure the long-term performance of your assembly. A vented rainscreen serves much the same purpose as the interior service cavity—it creates a space between the WRB and the building siding, thereby protecting your WRB from damage and ensuring its performance for years to come. It’s also vastly preferable to exterior sheathing in terms of vapor intelligence, as it facilitates drying of your assembly through your vapor-open exterior membrane and WRB.
Rainscreen Details
Figure 3. Details showing exterior vented rainscreens and interior service cavities, along with the double air barrier system we strongly recommend for airtight, high-performance wall construction.
Vertical strapping is applied over the exterior air barrier to construct the vented rainscreen. Horizontal boards attached to the vertical strapping can either serve as the rainscreen, or serve as an attachment point for another layer.
Vertical battens are applied outboard of the WRB, which will serve as the attachment for the vented rainscreen.
Yes, your WRB is weather resistant—hence its name. But to ensure its longevity, you need to protect it from nature’s harshest elements, including bulk water intrusion and wind impact. A vented rainscreen does just that. The cavity is constructed by laying vertical strapping over the WRB and attaching it to the building studs, creating an attachment point for exterior weathering boards and a space into which water can evaporate out through the exterior membrane. This protects your WRB from bulk water intrusion, wind impact, and UV radiation, and maximizes the drying potential of this vapor-open layer.
This vented rainscreen can also serve as a sort of service cavity for utilities. Although exterior utility distribution may be less extensive than interior distribution, you will probably have a hose, lights, and outlets on the building exterior. So a service cavity that facilitates their distribution without increasing the number of penetrations in the assembly is ideal.
To learn more, go to www.foursevenfive.com.
We strongly advise using this dual-membrane system, consisting of a vapor-intelligent or vapor-retarding interior air barrier and a vapor-open, weather-resistant exterior air barrier. We use the Pro Clima system, with Intello Plus as the interior air barrier and Solitex Mento as the exterior air barrier in most cases. This ensures the best air barrier performance and a vapor-intelligent assembly, providing the many advantages that we explain above. e. It also ensures that insulation is held between two airtight layers, which vastly improves its performance—like putting a windbreaker over a thick wool sweater.
A service cavity in the building interior and a vented rainscreen on the exterior will ensure the long-term performance of your air barrier and insulation (see Figure 3). (We also recommend these approaches for your roof. Building these cavities does entail a bit more planning and deliberate sequencing, but it will pay big dividends in the long run.

Ideas for an Under-Cabinet Microwave With No Back Wall

How to Remove & Install a Microwave Above a Range
No hard and fast rules exist that say exactly where the microwave should be placed in the kitchen – it’s a matter of space, function and preference. While most microwave mounting kits are designed for attaching the unit to the back wall, you can also substitute a kit for attaching the microwave to the cabinet above when you don’t have a wall. As long as you have adequate ventilation, and the depth to support a microwave, you can install it anywhere in the kitchen that works in the space.
Appliance Garage
Build an appliance garage atop the countertop to house your microwave and other appliances. This puts the microwave behind a cabinet door, cleaning up the clutter that often fills a kitchen’s countertop. While it does eat up usable counter space, it also makes the microwave handy and easily accessible. It depends on the amount of counter space available in the kitchen.
Removable Shelf
When you don’t have a back wall or don’t want to install the microwave beneath a cabinet, add a removable shelf to the top of the countertop and place the microwave on it instead. Most microwaves require a minimum depth of 15 inches, while most countertops have a depth ranging from 18 to 24 inches -- plenty of space to add the microwave on a shelf perched atop the counter. Verify that you have access to an outlet near where you want to place the shelf to avoid having to run the power cord across the countertop.
Inside Cabinet
Remove the door and set the microwave inside the cabinet itself if the cabinet is wide enough and at least 15 inches deep to handle the microwave’s depth. This option may require that you drill a hole in the back bottom of the cabinet so that you can thread the microwave cord through to plug it into an outlet. Use the cabinet shelf above the microwave to store decorative kitchen accessories instead of using it for items you would usually place behind a closed door.
Under Cabinet Shelf Rack
Instead of mounting the oven to the cabinet, you can also install a shelf rack to the bottom of the cabinet as long as it can handle the weight of the microwave. The shelf must be tall, wide and deep enough to match the microwave’s dimensions and still allow ventilation. It also must have hardware strong enough to support the microwave. Check the shelf’s hardware for the weights it’s rated to handle before installing the microwave.
On or Below the Countertop
Just because the installation instructions for a microwave says that it can be mounted to go under the cabinet doesn’t mean it can’t go on or beneath the countertop instead. As long as you have ample room on your countertop or a large shelf below, install the microwave in an area where it can be conveniently accessed. A microwave installed on a shelf beneath the countertop makes it especially useful to people who are wheelchair-bound, but it may not be a good idea in a home with small children.

Baird said that in round after round of international talks, Iran has failed to engage meaningfully while the risk posed by its nuclear activities increases. The Iranian government has offered only “false promises and empty gestures,” Baird said.
“Today we are compelled to take further actions against this reckless and irresponsible regime,” he said.
Thirty people and 82 new entities have now been added to the list, all believed to be involved directly or indirectly with facilitating, supporting or funding Iran’s nuclear proliferation activities, the foreign affairs minister said.
The last time Baird announced sanctions against Iran was in December when certain kinds of imports and exports were prohibited including oil, natural gas and mining materials.
“Canada like many of our closest allies is taking every possible effort to halt Iran’s reckless pursuit of nuclear weapons capabilities,” he said Wednesday.

Closing in on the Circuitry of Chronic Itch
Genetic Studies Illuminate Neuronal Chemical’s Role in Pain and Itch
By Melissa Glim
IRP research on the neurons that play a role in pain and itch could lead to treatments for numerous skin conditions, including the scaly rashes produced by psoriasis.
For most of us, itch is a bothersome inconvenience. Unfortunately, for 125 million people around the world, chronic itch caused by the skin disease psoriasis is a significant, even debilitating, health problem. Psoriasis causes skin cells to multiply up to 10 times faster than normal and build up as an itchy and painful, scaly rash. For some, the condition can also cause joint swelling, resulting in a condition known as ‘psoriatic arthritis.’
World Psoriasis Day falls on October 29 this year, and the theme is “Be Informed.” So, what do we know about chronic itch?
The mechanisms by which itch, and its cousin pain, are transmitted from the skin through the spinal cord and up to the brain are not well understood. We know that itchy sensations — whether they’re caused by a mosquito bite or a chronic disorder — are detected by sensory neurons that run through the skin. A signal lets our brain know there’s a problem, and the brain answers, “scratch!”
Evolutionarily speaking, itch is a good thing. It tells us when we’ve been exposed to something harmful like a parasite or a toxin and compels us to remove the offending critter or substance. On the other hand, chronic skin conditions like psoriasis are not so useful. Scratching damages the skin and can produce chemicals that cause the itchy sensation to increase, setting up a cycle of itching and scratching that prevents the skin from actually healing. Many treatments, such as topical creams and antihistamines, provide only moderate relief.
IRP researchers, led by Mark A. Hoon, Ph.D., are using traditional techniques and cutting-edge genetic studies to better understand this communication pathway. Back in 2018, this work led to the discovery of a new circuit in the spinal cord in which neurons release a hormone called somatostatin that can promote the sensation of itch and inhibit the feeling of pain.1 Studying this newly discovered system could lead to possible treatment targets for chronic itch.
Dr. Hoon’s team became interested in somatostatin because it showed up unexpectedly in a signaling pathway that was thought to activate itch sensation, not suppress it. It seemed paradoxical, in a system that is supposed to bring on the feeling of itch, to find an inhibitory molecule like somatostatin in a set of excitatory neurons that stimulate rather than decrease the activity of their neuronal neighbors.

“It was really curious because somatostatin was in the neurons that we know are involved in itch,” says Dr. Hoon. “We were all curious what it might be doing and how it might be working.”
The answer, they found, was a compound effect. Somatostatin is an inhibitory molecule, but it reduces the activity of neurons that are also inhibitory, so the net effect is positive. In other words, it stops other neurons from blocking the sensation of itch.
To map the circuit and uncover what was happening, Dr. Hoon’s lab used a variety of techniques to stimulate itching and scratching behaviors in mice in the presence and absence of somatostatin. First, the team used a technique called optogenetics, which uses light to activate or inhibit neurons, to show that certain sensory neurons that connect to mouse skin use somatostatin to trigger itch, as evidenced by scratching behavior. The researchers also identified the cells that somatostatin inhibits to bring on itching, called dynorphin cells. Additionally, they used mice bred to lack somatostatin in their sensory neurons to show that, without somatostatin, exposure to something itchy failed to cause them to scratch. Finally, they found that somatostatin released from ‘peripheral’ neurons located outside the brain and spinal cord, but not those in the spinal cord, played a role in suppressing pain from heat.
Unfortunately, these findings on their own are not enough to suggest a solution for treating chronic itch. Somatostatin is found throughout the nervous system, so any therapeutic that blocks its effects would have significant side effects. However, understanding how somatostatin works and the neuronal circuit in which it plays its role may have implications for other ways to interrupt the itch system by targeting something along that route.
“One of the benefits of having multiple targets is that you can use them simultaneously,” Dr. Hoon explains. “That has the advantage that you can use lower doses of drugs, at levels that would normally be ineffective on their own, in combination to have an effect.”
Dr. Mark Hoon
This basic research is leading to other questions — and other findings. As part of its work, Dr. Hoon’s team has since identified other inhibitory neurons, including a variety that may play a bigger role in sensing pain. Another recent set of experiments by Dr. Hoon’s group, looked at other targets of somatostatin-releasing neurons that may be involved in producing chronic conditions like psoriasis and atopic dermatitis.
“The neurons actually changed from the normal situation and normal skin,” says Dr. Hoon. “We've identified what we think is a process by which there is this change in the sensitivity of the neurons, so it takes less input for them to start to send signals and to stimulate the parts of the brain that instruct us to scratch.”
Importantly, Dr. Hoon’s efforts could lay the groundwork for identifying solutions for chronic itch that is triggered by an abnormal immune response to skin damage rather than the itch-inducing histamine molecules that are blocked by anti-histamine medications. Such discoveries could lead to treatments for people whose chronic itch does not respond to antihistamines. However, as Dr. Hoon has discovered, the system that produces sensations of itch is complex, so his team must continue scrutinizing the nervous system to learn how best to influence it.
“The spinal cord is still a virgin forest,” says Dr. Hoon. “We’re going in there and finding new plants and animals and we don’t know exactly how they’re all interrelated with each other and how it all works. It’s exciting.”

Twitter’s Version of Stories, Fleets, Is Now Available in India
By Kay Lee - June 11, 2020
In March, the social media giant announced the testing of Fleets, an analog of Instagram and Facebook Stories that sit at the top of a user’s profile, in Brazil. By now, the feature is also available in Italy. On Tuesday, the company announced the testing of Fleets in India for iOS and Android users with the latest update.
Testing, testing…
We’re testing a way for you to think out loud without the Likes, Retweets, or replies, called Fleets! Best part? They disappear after 24 hours. pic.twitter.com/r14VWUoF6p
— Twitter India (@TwitterIndia) June 9, 2020
The distinguishing feature of Fleets is that they disappear from the timeline after 24 hours. Besides, Fleets are perfect for “those uncomfortable with public tweets” because you can’t like them, retweet them, or publicly reply to them. An option to embed them on third-party websites will not be available either. Through Fleets, users can share photos, videos, texts, or GIFs. Users can view the Fleets of other users, even if they are not following them.
Namaste! Starting today, Fleets are coming to India. If you’re in India, check it out and let us know what you think! #FleetsFeedback 🇮🇳 pic.twitter.com/U6QiHynm1U
— Kayvon Beykpour (@kayvz) June 9, 2020
It should be noted that Twitter has approximately 55 million active users in India as of April 2020.
This is a phased roll-out, Fleets will be available for everyone in India on Twitter for iOS and Android in the coming days in updated app versions.
“India is important for Twitter since it is one of our largest and fastest-growing audience markets globally. We are excited to bring the Fleets experiment to India and make it one of the first three countries in the world to experience this new product,” said Manish Maheshwari, Managing Director at Twitter India.
Twitter Announced the Testing of an Analog of “Stories” in Brazil
Twitter started testing the analog of “stories” in Brazil. Twitter is one of the last major social networks to launch this format.

How to create a Fleet?
Tap your profile image on the top left.
Type something, add an image, video, or GIF.
Click “Fleet” on the bottom right.
Users can reply to Fleets via DMs or send reactions with emojis.
Twitter is probably the last major social network to discover the Stories format. So far, this feature is used by Snapchat, Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp, and YouTube. There’s no information yet as to whether Twitter will introduce Fleets worldwide.
Apart from testing Fleets in India, the social media platform also announced that it would begin testing a new feature that will encourage users to read articles they want to share before actually sharing them.
It's easy for links/articles to go viral on Twitter. This can be powerful but sometimes dangerous, especially if people haven't read the content they're spreading. This feature (on Android for now) encourages people to read a linked article prior to Retweeting it. https://t.co/qdYZ8w9e27
— Kayvon Beykpour (@kayvz) June 10, 2020
Now, the testing is only available for Android users in English. This feature is aimed at combating misinformation on the platform and encouraging meaningful discussions.

The Ensign Group Reports Quarterly Adjusted Earnings of $0.56 per Share; Adjusts 2013 Guidance 107.8 KB
MISSION VIEJO, Calif., Nov. 7, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Ensign Group, Inc. (Nasdaq:ENSG), the parent company of the Ensign™ group of skilled nursing, rehabilitative care services, assisted and independent living, home health, hospice care and urgent care companies, today reported operating results for the third quarter of 2013.
Quarter Highlights Include:
Consolidated revenues were up 10.9% to a record $229.3 million in the quarter;
Same-store skilled mix revenue was up 58 basis points;
Same-store managed care days were up 147 basis points, and same-store managed care revenue was up over 1000 basis points;
Ensign's Transitioning Facilities group showed significant strength, with an increase in skilled mix revenue of 270 basis points, to 41.3%, largely due to the performance of the most mature Transitioning Facilities;
Same-store occupancy was up sequentially by 65 basis points
Consolidated occupancy of 77.4% was significantly impacted by the group of 42 Transitioning and Newly-Acquired Facilities, averaging occupancy of 70.5% (64.5% average occupancy in the 17 Newly-Acquired facilities alone), representing the addition of substantial organic upside to the company's portfolio; and
Adjusted earnings per share were $0.56 per share for the quarter.
Operating Results
Commenting on the operating results, Ensign's President and Chief Executive Officer Christopher Christensen said, "Although several challenges we experienced in the first half of the year dragged into the third-quarter, many of the improvements we anticipated began to take effect late in the third quarter and early this quarter, and we expect them to continue into next year."
He noted that some of the challenges included distractions associated with structuring the spin-off transaction announced today, efforts to push the recent DOJ settlement over the finish line along with preparations for the accompanying corporate integrity agreement, and especially the short-term earnings drag created by Ensign's significant growth earlier in the year. "As we've often reminded you, whenever we've seen an unusual surge in growth over a short period of time, we naturally expect a temporary hit to our short-term earnings, however, we have always taken the long view of our business, and we are confident that our recent challenges also create great opportunities for continued growth in the fourth quarter, and in 2014 and beyond," he added.
Mr. Christensen also affirmed that even though it was necessary to slightly adjust management's annual guidance for 2013, "Our operational leaders are fully engaged on all fronts to identify and overcome weakness wherever it occurs and, because of them, we remain confident that Ensign's future — both near- and long-term — is very bright."
Chief Financial Officer Suzanne Snapper reported that adjusted operating margins were impacted by a number of factors, including a spike in healthcare costs, challenges in Ensign's fast-growing home health and hospice services, and a 26 basis point decline in same store occupancy, which was somewhat offset by an increase in skilled mix. "However, we continue to see growth in our same store managed care days, with a 15.4% increase, as well as a 5.6% increase in sub-acute days," she said. She further noted that Ensign's business can vary from quarter to quarter, due largely to changes in reimbursement systems, delays and changes in state budgets, seasonality in occupancy and skilled mix, and the short-term impact of Ensign's acquisition activities, which were unusually aggressive in the first half of the year.
Ms. Snapper added, "The fourth quarter is when we historically have our best occupancy and mix, as well as the positive effects of our annual rate increases." She also noted that the company's adjusted guidance represents an average annual growth rate in earnings per share of almost 15% a year since 2009.
She reported that the company continues to generate strong cash flow, with cash on hand on September 30, 2013 of $46.0 million, net cash from operations in the quarter of $57.1 million, and free cash flow for the trailing twelve months ended September 30, 2013 of $53.6 million. She also noted that the company's credit relationships remain strong, with approximately $120.0 million in borrowing capacity available on its existing credit line.
Diluted GAAP earnings per share from continuing operations was $0.47 for the quarter, compared to earnings of $0.60 per share from continuing operations in the prior year quarter. Adjusted non-GAAP earnings for the quarter were $0.56 per diluted share, compared to $0.62 in the third quarter of 2012.
A discussion of the company's use of non-GAAP financial measures is set forth below. A reconciliation of net income to adjusted EBITDAR and adjusted EBITDA, as well as a reconciliation of GAAP earnings per share and net income to adjusted net earnings per share and adjusted net income, appear in the financial data portion of this release.
More complete information is contained in the company's 10-Q, which was filed with the SEC today and can be viewed on the Company's website at http://www.ensigngroup.net.
2013 Guidance Adjusted
Management adjusted its previously-announced 2013 annual guidance, projecting revenues of $900 million to $915 million, and adjusted net income of $2.56 to $2.72 per diluted share for the year. The guidance is based on diluted weighted average common shares outstanding of 22.5 million and assumes, among other things, no additional acquisitions or dispositions beyond those made to date, the October 1, 2013Medicare rate increase, announced increases in Medicaid reimbursement rates net of expected provider tax increases, costs associated with the defense and settlement of the 2012 class action lawsuit, and a tax rate of 38.5%. It excludes acquisition-related costs and amortization costs related to intangible assets acquired and costs associated with the pending spin-off. It also excludes expenses related to the DOJ settlement, discontinued operations, and development and operational losses associated with newly-developed operations which have not achieved stabilization.
Quarter Highlights
Also during the quarter, the company's newly-developed Sloan's Lake Rehabilitation and Care Center, a 42-bed all-private/Medicare skilled nursing facility located just west of downtown Denver, Colorado, achieved an EBITDAR margin for the quarter of 21.8% in only the second full quarter since completing its Medicare certification, with 91.1% occupancy and 100% skilled mix revenue. Mr. Christensen noted that Ensign is pursuing a similar strategy in other key markets, creating an additional lever the company can pull in the near future.
During the quarter, the company's Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.065 per share of Ensign common stock. Ensign has been a dividend-paying company since 2002 and has consistently increased its dividend annually.
Ensign's growing portfolio consists of 119 facilities, nine home health and seven hospice companies, six urgent care clinics, and an ancillary service provider, all in 11 states. Of the 119 post-acute and seniors housing facilities, 96 are Ensign-owned, and 75 of those are owned free of mortgage debt, with Ensign affiliates holding purchase options on two of Ensign's 23 leased facilities. Management reaffirmed that Ensign is actively seeking additional opportunities to acquire both well-performing and struggling long-term care, assisted living, seniors housing, home health and hospice operations across the United States. Management also reports that they are seeing an increased number of acquisition opportunities at present, and that they expect to complete additional acquisitions before year-end.
DOJ Investigation Finalized
On October 1, 2013, the company finalized its settlement with the Department of Justice and the OIG, fully and finally resolving the DOJ investigation which has been ongoing since 2006. In connection with the settlement, the company signed a five-year corporate integrity agreement. In anticipation of entering into the corporate integrity agreement, the company has been making significant enhancements to its internal compliance program, resulting in increased costs, including monitoring expenses, interest on the settlement amount and other associated start-up costs. The Company also paid the settlement amount of $48 million in the fourth quarter. Ensign has denied engaging in any illegal conduct, and agreed to the settlement without any admission of wrongdoing in order to resolve the matter and avoid the uncertainty and expense of protracted litigation. The company does not expect the settlement and remittance to have a material adverse effect on the company's long-term financial position, business plan or prospects; however, the resolution will have an impact on the company's GAAP results of operations and cash flows for the 2013 fiscal year. Investors are directed to the more complete discussions of the matter contained in the company's 10-Q for additional disclosures.
A live webcast will be held on Friday, November 8, 2013 at 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time (1:00 p.m. Eastern) to discuss Ensign's third quarter financial results. To listen to the webcast, or to view any financial or statistical information required by SEC Regulation G, please visit the Investors section of the Ensign website at http://investor.ensigngroup.net. The webcast will be recorded, and will be available for replay via the website until 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time on Friday, November 29, 2013.

Discussion of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
EBITDA consists of net income, adjusted for net losses attributable to noncontrolling interest, before (a) interest expense, net, (b) provisions for income taxes, and (c) depreciation and amortization. EBITDAR consists of net income before (a) interest expense, net, (b) provisions for income taxes, (c) depreciation and amortization, and (d) facility rent-cost of services. The Company believes that the presentation of EBITDA, EBITDAR, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR provides important supplemental information to management and investors to evaluate the Company's operating performance. The Company believes disclosure of adjusted non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share has economic substance because the excluded expenses are infrequent in nature and are variable in nature, or do not represent current cash expenditures. A material limitation associated with the use of these measures as compared to the GAAP measures of net income and diluted earnings per share is that they may not be comparable with the calculation of net income and diluted earnings per share for other companies in the Company's industry. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be relied upon to the exclusion of GAAP financial measures. For further information regarding why the Company believes that this non-GAAP measure provides useful information to investors, the specific manner in which management uses this measure, and some of the limitations associated with the use of this measure, please refer to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed today with the SEC. The Form 10-K is available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov or under the "Financial Information" link of the Investor Relations section on Ensign's website at http://www.ensigngroup.net.

Kratos Reports First Quarter 2013 Financial Results
May 9, 2013 at 4:00 PM EDT
Kratos Reports First Quarter 2013 Financial Results 60.2 KB
Revenue of $252.8 Million
Organic Revenue Growth of 8.3% Compared to First Quarter 2012
Public Safety and Security Business Organic Revenue Growth of 24.6%
Pro Forma EPS of $0.06
Affirms Previously Provided Fiscal Year 2013 Financial Guidance
SAN DIEGO, May 9, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq:KTOS), a leading National Security Solutions provider, today reported first quarter revenues of $252.8 million, an increase of 20.7 percent over the first quarter of 2012. Excluding the contributions from Composite Engineering, Inc. (CEI), which was acquired in June of 2012, Kratos generated year over year organic revenue growth of 8.3% for the first quarter of 2013 over first quarter 2012. Kratos' first quarter results also included year over year organic growth of 24.6% in its Public Safety & Security Solutions (PSS) business, with strong security and surveillance system integration demand in the municipality, mass transit, energy, healthcare and education vertical markets. Kratos' first quarter results also included important contributions from Kratos' contracts supporting Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance, Satellite Communications, Missile Defense, Missile System, Radar, Electronic Warfare, Cyber Security, Unmanned Aerial Drone, Aerial Target and Aerial System programs. In the first quarter of 2013, Kratos' legacy traditional government information technology and services business, which represents approximately 10 percent of Kratos' overall revenues, declined 12.4% on a year over year basis.
Kratos also reported for the first quarter 2013 Adjusted EBITDA of $27.0 million or 10.7 percent of revenue, Cash Flow from Continuing Operations of $5.1 million, Free Cash Flow of $1.8 million, and Pro Forma EPS from Continuing Operations of $0.06. Kratos believes that reporting Pro Forma EPS is a meaningful metric to present the Company's earnings. Pro Forma EPS excludes non-cash amortization expenses, as the Company has historically been acquisitive, and includes cash actually expected to be paid for income taxes in order to reflect the benefit of the Company's Net Operating Loss carryforwards of over $340 million. GAAP EPS was a loss of $0.18, which includes a loss from discontinued operations of $0.04.
For the first quarter of 2013, Kratos generated a book-to-bill ratio of 0.6 to 1.0, with Kratos' PSS business generating a book-to-bill ratio of 1.2 to 1.0. On a rolling 12-month basis, Kratos' book-to-bill ratio remained at 1.0 to 1.0. At March 31, 2013, Kratos reported total backlog of $1.2 billion and a qualified bid and proposal pipeline of $3.8 billion.
Today, approximately 65 percent of Kratos' business is focused on providing or supporting specialty products and technology for foundational or strategic National Security programs and priorities, including Anti-Access/Area Denial related initiatives. An additional approximate 25 percent of Kratos' business is focused on providing critical infrastructure security, public safety and cyber security related products and solutions for certain of our country's most strategic and important assets, municipalities and agencies. Approximately 30 to 35 percent of Kratos' overall business is funded by commercial or international security focused customers rather than by U.S. Federal Agencies. Additionally, no single Kratos contract is expected to account for more than approximately 5 percent of Kratos' forecasted 2013 revenue. Kratos believes this global customer and contract diversification is an important differentiator in today's overall integrated global security market environment.
Kratos also today affirmed its previously communicated full year fiscal 2013 Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow financial guidance.
Eric DeMarco, Kratos' President & CEO, said, "Kratos had a solid first quarter, with our Public Safety and Security business exceeding our revenue expectations, and we believe that we will see growth and EBITDA rate expansion in PSS throughout 2013, with strong demand for Kratos' security and video surveillance system integration solutions as a result of heightened security awareness in the United States. Although the FY'13 Appropriations Bill and current Sequestration have resulted in certain Kratos work being either reduced in scope or delayed, other major Kratos supported programs, including LCS, P-8, EA-18G, Trident II D5, MALD, Patriot, THAAD, AEGIS, Iron Dome, AFSAT and Arrow, remain solidly funded. We also have a number of large DoD and international opportunities we are pursuing, including in the Cyber, Missile Defense, Electronic Warfare, Radar and ISR areas, where awards are currently expected to be made in the second half of 2013. Additionally, in the aerial drone area, we have accelerated our planned investment in certain new Kratos aircraft from our initial budget due to customer opportunities that have materialized faster than we originally anticipated, and demonstration flights will now be required in the second half of 2013. The planned IR&D, non-recurring engineering and capital spend for these aircraft of approximately $3.0 million, which was previously forecasted to be incurred throughout all of 2013, will now be substantially incurred by Kratos in our second quarter so that we can meet the required customer flight schedules in the second half of this year. Accordingly, even though we are off to a strong start for 2013, due to continued significant U.S. Federal Government Budget uncertainty, we are reaffirming our full fiscal year 2013 revenue, Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow and quarterly revenue guidance, with a slight shift between quarters in EBITDA margin rate as a result of the accelerated opportunities."

Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This news release contains non-GAAP financial measures, including Pro Forma EPS (computed using net income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes, excluding amortization of purchased intangibles, acquisition related items less the estimated tax cash payments), Adjusted EBITDA (which excludes losses from discontinued operations, acquisition related items, stock compensation expense, and the associated margin rates), and Free Cash Flow (which is computed using Cash Flow from Operating Activities less Capital Expenditures). Kratos believes this information is useful to investors because it provides a basis for measuring the Company's available capital resources, the actual and forecasted operating performance of the Company's business and the Company's cash flow, excluding extraordinary items and non-cash items that would normally be included in the most directly comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The Company's management uses these non-GAAP financial measures along with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures in evaluating the Company's actual and forecasted operating performance, capital resources and cash flow. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information presented in compliance with GAAP, and investors should carefully evaluate the Company's financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP and reconciliations to those financial statements. In addition, non-GAAP financial measures as reported by the Company may not be comparable to similarly titled amounts reported by other companies. As appropriate, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures and information reconciling these non-GAAP financial measures to the Company's financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP are included in this news release.

At World Cup, Argentinian couple kicking Jewishness into high gear
By Hillel Kuttler June 27, 2014, 2:21 pm 0 Edit
As Argentina plays its opening-round matches in the World Cup, Mariano Schlez of Buenos Aires is screaming his support from the stands.
But taking in his home country’s matches in Brazil isn’t all that occupies Schlez for the first fortnight of the month-long soccer spectacle.
Also filling his calendar are 14 “Jewish” events that he and his wife have organized in seven of the host cities. They include Shabbat evening prayers, beach soccer games leading into Saturday night Havdalah services, pickup games and Jewish heritage tours.
For Schlez, 38, and his wife, Paola Salem, 37, the World Cup being played in the region prompted them last winter to mull opportunities to fashion Jewish experiences for fellow soccer fans. They figured on organizing two or three activities.
Now, though, “the project is bigger than we’d thought at first,” Salem said.
Their goal was to bring together international Jewish visitors already united by a passion for soccer – known throughout the world, but not in America, as football.
“It’s great to connect Jewish football fans,” Schlez said last week after arriving in Rio de Janeiro. “I love football. I’ve played it all my life, and I’m a teacher of lots of kids in this lovely sport, so it was an opportunity to make a connection between my love for football and my Jewish life.”
His friends, Maxi Klein and Damian Beker, joined him on the 1,800-mile, three-day drive from Argentina. They’re helping out in the Jewish programming, too. All three work for the Maccabi youth sports organization in Buenos Aires.
While remaining at home with the couple’s two children, Salem is serving as a one-woman command center, responding to inquiries posted on the project’s two Facebook pages – Jewish Soccer Fanatics Traveling to Brazil in 2014 and Jewish Connect at the World Cup Football 2014 – along with maintaining communication with Brazilian Jewish organizations helping to organize the events in the seven cities: Belo Horizonte, Fortaleza, Manaus, Porto Alegre, Recife, Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo.
Fans from approximately 20 countries have exchanged information on the Facebook pages about the events and such key matters as procuring World Cup tickets and places to stay, she said.
Those wishing to attend any of the Jewish events – all are free – must register, with Salem passing along the information to security officials at the venues. Volunteers are offering their services through Facebook.
Salem said she budgeted for $9,000, with $5,000 covered by a grant from the Tulsa, Okla.-based Charles and Lynn Schusterman Family Foundation. Large and small businesses donated funds and products, while others provided discounts for printing promotional flyers and embroidering the 400 kippahs that Schlez brought along to give away at the Shabbat events.
At the Havdalah services, soccer-themed note paper will be distributed for participants to write messages heralding the coming week. The messages will be collected and displayed, Salem said.
The gatherings promise to be a multicultural cholent that thrills Salem.
“Connecting Jewish people from all over the world is what I love,” Salem said. “It’s like a dream.”
The dream began taking shape at a family dinner, when Schlez, a longtime fan of the Boca Juniors team – Diego Maradonna, who led Argentina to the 1986 World Cup title, was his favorite player – expressed a desire to attend the Brazil tournament. The couple mulled programming ideas before approaching the Schusterman Foundation.
Returning from a camping trip in January, they learned that their grant request was approved. That’s when the planning gears really started churning.
The World Cup programming dovetails with the aim of Turismo Judaico, a company Salem launched to provide Jewish travelers with information such as Shabbat candle-lighting times, kosher dining options and sites of cultural and religious interest.
The foundation, which encourages Jewishly focused initiatives for young people under the theme Make It Happen, deemed the World Cup programming a creative way to build community, said Seth Cohen, Schusterman’s director of network initiatives.
“We think that young adults are the levers of change in the Jewish world and in the world Jewishly,” Cohen said, and the Brazil events bring “a Jewish lens to an experience the entire world is watching.”
“The eyes of the world are on Brazil. Let’s shine a light on the Jewish community there as well.”

Historic trunk opens up learning opportunities at Temple David
Never forgetTrunk display offers historic relics at Monroeville Temple
The Monroeville Temple will fill the 70-year old handcrafted trunk with historic items from temple members. It will go on display Nov. 9.
By Adam Reinherz November 1, 2017, 5:33 pm 0 Edit
This 70-year-old trunk “symbolizes the fortitude of the Jewish people,” says Rabbi Barbara Symons. (Photo by Rabbi Barbara Symons)
Members of Temple David took a suitcase full of dishes and filled it with relics of mixed emotions. The group’s creation, a multifaceted Holocaust memorial, will be dedicated Nov. 9 during the congregation’s Kristallnacht program.
“Our memorial is a result of a working group coming together and sharing ideas and stories over the past year,” said Rabbi Barbara Symons, spiritual leader of the Monroeville-based synagogue.
The intention was that it would “be a two-part thing;” specifically, that the installation would serve as a monument while also being educational, explained Debbie Maier Jacknin, an artist and a member of the 12-person committee.
Almost accidentally — through discussion, learning and a bit of luck — the group discovered a 70-year-old handcrafted trunk. Made of brown-painted wood, the antique carrier had been housing Passover dishes in Harry and Patty Schneider’s garage before the Monroeville corps learned of its existence.
During a conversation with students from Gateway Middle School, Symons told them of the temple’s desire to create a display based upon luggage.
“We had heard the story of Eva Edelstein, wife of Rabbi Jason Edelstein, Temple David’s rabbi emeritus, and how she had escaped quickly in the middle of the night and how her mother had packed a small bag for her before they escaped, and it inspired the idea of a suitcase,” said Symons.
“We weren’t sure whether we wanted a period suitcase or an artistic suitcase, but we knew that we wanted something that would display our congregants’ artifacts from before the war and during the war,” she added.
As soon as Symons finished explaining to the students about the congregation’s aspiration, Schneider, who had also shared his experiences with the Gateway group, approached the rabbi and informed her that when his family was in a displaced persons’ camp in Austria, his father had made two trunks.
“I have one, would you like it?” Schneider asked the rabbi.
From there, Symons, Jacknin and other committee members later traveled to Schneider’s home and observed the carefully constructed box.
“It’s just fantastic,” said Jacknin, a stained-glass mosaicist whose grandfather had been arrested during Kristallnacht.
With the Schneiders’ blessings, those on hand loaded the crate into Symons’ automobile.
“Now my car had this aroma that was like walking through the cattle car at the Holocaust Museum,” said Symons.
But apart from possessing a historically reeking chest, which, as etched into the wood, explains that it transported Gedale Schneider’s belongings to Washington, Pa., Temple David’s working group wished to do more with the container. They then commissioned a local artist to create a removable Lucite cover so that interchangeable items could be exhibited within the case.
The first contents will be siddurim formerly belonging to Werner Bendorf, father of Robi Bendorf, a temple member.
When Werner fled from his home in Dornheim, Germany, he brought along the books as well as a leather satchel with important papers, said the son.
In June 1940, Werner took the printed materials, placed them inside the bag and buried them “inside the barn that was attached to Everett and Dina Schutter’s farmhouse near Wilp, Holland. This is the place my parents, Leni and Werner Bendorf, were being hidden by the Schutters and where I was born,” said Robi.
“When my parents retrieved the satchel in approximately May 1945, the papers were deteriorated to the point of not being usable, but the books were in the condition that they are now,” he added.
After some time the texts will be replaced by other items belonging to temple members so that the education continues. In that vein, the monument will be placed in Temple David’s main lobby so that as many people as possible are able to “look in and have a learning opportunity,” explained the rabbi.
“Anytime you have something that you can look at, that you can see, that you can touch, it makes it real; it makes the story come to life a little more,” said Jacknin.
“We are proud that we have put ‘Never forget’ into action at Temple David,” said Symons, who encouraged the community to attend the Nov. 9 program, as it will feature both the installation as well as remarks from Rabbi Edelstein, Eva Edelstein and Harry Schneider.
There is nothing like hearing something firsthand, but “as our survivor community is dying out, we need to find other effective ways of telling the stories and telling what happened,” said Jacknin.
In that way, there is a lot of purpose being placed in the old object, explained the rabbi.
Said Symons: “The trunk symbolizes to me the fortitude of the Jewish people, the generosity of a survivor and the opportunity to share journeys, even those we wish we had not been on.” PJC

Queens District Attorney Launches Human Trafficking Bureau
May 19, 2020 By Allie Griffin
The Queens District Attorney has launched a new human trafficking bureau — becoming the first prosecutor’s office in New York City to have a dedicated bureau to combat sex and labor trafficking.
The bureau will prosecute traffickers and buyers of sex and will also connect survivors of trafficking with services to help them safely leave the sex trade industry or their traffickers, Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz announced Monday.
Queens — with its vast community of immigrants and two international airports — is a prime geographical location for traffickers to target and exploit people most a risk, Katz said.
Traffickers often target vulnerable people, including homeless youth, undocumented immigrants and the mentally ill.
“The sex trafficking industry is a brutal, degrading and illegal enterprise that far too often profits by forcing women, children and members of our transgender community into prostitution,” Katz said. “But there are other forms of trafficking, such as forcing individuals to work with little or no pay.”
The bureau will have a dedicated staff of assistant district attorneys, social workers, detectives and analysts to fight trafficking in Queens.
“This new and dedicated Bureau within my Office, will combat those who would victimize others with aggressive investigations to end this industry,” Katz said. “But, I want to be clear that we are also here to help the victims find a path to freedom with services and programs that will give them positive change in their lives and a future without fear.”
The District Attorney’s Office has already prosecuted three cases of sex trafficking this year.
In January, 23-year-old Tyquan Henderson was convicted of sex trafficking a 16-year-old female and faces up to nine years in prison.
In February, 31-year-old David Viltus pleaded guilty to attempted murder for stabbing his transgender girlfriend after she refused to continue prostitution. He is expected to be sentenced to 10 years in prison later this month.
In a third case, Julius Heusner, 27, was sentenced on a felony charge of aggravated patronizing a minor for prostitution, for paying a 16-year-old to perform sex acts on him in a parked car. He was required to register as a sex offender and complete an intervention program.
“These convictions demonstrate our commitment to aggressively investigating and prosecuting perpetrators of these degrading crimes that deprive many vulnerable members of our community of their liberty and free will,” Katz said. “Human trafficking is a horrific form of modern-day slavery.”
Katz has appointed career prosecutor Jessica L. Melton as the chief of the Human Trafficking Bureau. Melton has dedicated her career solely to prosecuting human trafficking and related crimes.

Good job Katz in regards to human trafficking. Walk up and down Roosevelt ave any day, anytime and you can fine a parlor. How can one report sex trafficking? You should post in your article.
Captain Obvious May 19th, 2020
Didn’t Senator Jessica Ramos say that she wants to have prostitution legalize ? , There’s a conflict of interest.

R. S. Belcher's debut novel, The Six-Gun Tarot, was enthusiastically greeted by critics and readers, who praised its wildly inventive mixture of dark fantasy, steampunk, and the Wild West.
Now Belcher returns to Golgotha, Nevada, a bustling frontier town that hides more than its fair share of unnatural secrets. 1870. A haven for the blessed and the damned, including a fallen angel, a mad scientist, a pirate queen, and a deputy who is kin to coyotes, Golgotha has come through many nightmarish trials, but now an army of thirty-two outlaws, lunatics, serial killers, and cannibals are converging on the town, drawn by a grisly relic that dates back to the Donner Party... and the dawn of humanity.
Sheriff Jon Highfather and his deputies already have their hands full dealing with train robbers, a mysterious series of brutal murders, and the usual outbreaks of weirdness. But with thirty-two of the most vicious killers on Earth riding into Golgotha in just a few day's time, the town and its people will be tested as never before-and some of them will never be the same. The Shotgun Arcana is even more spectacularly ambitious and imaginative than The Six-Gun Tarot, and confirms R.
S. Belcher's status as a rising star.

$1 million condos a new reality in Fort Collins
by: Joe St. George
Posted: Nov 19, 2019 / 05:59 PM MST / Updated: Nov 19, 2019 / 05:59 PM MST
FORT COLLINS, Colo. — In recent years, there has been significant media coverage of the metro Denver real estate market, with soaring rents and high property values.
However, the booming market in northern Colorado — specifically Fort Collins — has not been covered to the same degree.
Greg Schmidt, the president of Saunders development, says the Fort Collins real estate market has changed just as much as Denver’s in recent years.
“This particular unit is north of $1 million,” Schmidt told FOX31 as he toured his latest project, dubbed Confluence, in Fort Collins’ River District.
“You guys believe there is a market for million-dollar-plus condos in Fort Collins. Why?” FOX31 reporter Joe St George asked.
“We do and there is demand for it,” Schmidt said. “Some are using them as second homes either for business or to be in this area during certain times of the year.”
Confluence lists condos as low as $300,000s to north of $1 million. Most units have sold.
What Schmidt is selling isn’t necessarily new in Fort Collins.
“People in Denver used to come north to Fort Collins to get affordable real estate. Now, Cheyenne is the new ‘go north’,” said Rich Coccaro, a realtor with Keller Williams. “The flight from California is yielding a lot of people coming from California and they are thinking these are deals.”
More on the Confluence project can be found online.

Stop saying "I want to do this. I want to do that." And start doing this and that.
Julie Swope
Of Roots and Wings
by Julie D. Swope
The St. Francis Orphanage circa 1949 was the epitome of regimented order, reverent obedience, and well kept secrets, but for twenty-three-month-old Beverly and her seven siblings, it represented a strange new world that would serve to disintegrate their family bonds, impose dehumanizing discipline, and inflict unspeakable abuse. Of Roots and Wings gives voice to these victims of unimaginable injury, as this uplifting memoir of hope and self-acceptance revisits the unbelievable bizarre, enchanting, heartfelt, and hilarious moments that punctuated author Julie Swope's life.
Adopted by a prominent Italian doctor and his wife, four-year-old Beverly and her younger sister, Georgina, are taken to live in a lavish forty-eight room mansion where they shed their habits of the orphanage and also their names, now becoming Julia and Jeannie. Another sister, Nancy, soon joins them when she is adopted into their new family as Rose Marie. However, the material wealth and physical comfort of their new life do little to address the scars of abuse and molestation the girls endured at St. Francis. Their adoptive home proves to house just as many dark secrets, including sexual abuse at the hands of the doctor and the family's trusted servants.
The inquisitive, indomitable Julia features throughout this spirited narrative as an intrepid guide to all things absurd and peculiar, akin to Alice on her adventures in Wonderland and through the looking glass. For Julia accompanying her father to autopsies, to helping tally income from a hospital-based numbers racket, to watching mink stoles and color televisions be loaded through the back door of the house seems as commonplace as enjoying the "Howdy Doody Show," or having seconds of spaghetti at Sunday dinner.
The story follows Julia from her school years to her becoming a wife and mother at age nineteen in the same year her adoptive mother succumbs to cancer. She completes college but feels unfulfilled in her marriage. She meets Elliot who duplicates her father's dynamics of control and abuse. They marry and adopt four children only to end in a bitter divorce and custody trial.
Once Julia's life is somewhat stabilized she enters therapy for herself and is able to process the impact of her childhood abuses. Of Roots and Wings reclaims and personalizes a past rife with hardship, abuse, dysfunction, and deception, and asserts a sustaining tone of tenacity and humor- fundamental lessons of self discovery and lasting appreciation of what makes each of us special.

Budget compromise easily passes House and Senate on final day
UPDATE: The Kentucky state House of Representatives and state Senate voted Friday to pass the compromise reached on the state’s next two year budget.
A quick vote on the budget in the Senate without discussion came after Sen. Chris McDaniel laid out details of the agreement reached by the budget conference committee Thursday morning.
McDaniel explained that the state’s pension systems will receive additional funds to the tune of $973 million for Kentucky Teachers’ Retirement System (KTRS) and $186 million for Kentucky Retirement System (KRS).
The budget bill also includes $125 million to a “permanent fund” which is designed to go toward pension funding in the future. Language setting up the permanent fund was passed in the House Friday afternoon with a 96-0 vote on House Bill 238.
McDaniel stated the budget compromise version of House Bill 303 also includes $175 million going to the state’s “rainy day” fund.
In the House discussion of the budget, Rep. Rick Rand added that the budget agreement protects K-12 funding and also expands the eligibility for per-kindergarten to 200% of the poverty rate and more.
Other items included in the budget agreement include:
More than $1 billion in funding for the state’s ailing retirement systems
A new “permanent fund” with money to go toward the pension systems in the future
Cuts to higher education at 4.5% each year—a compromise from the originally proposed 9% cuts and the desire of the House to hold the state’s colleges and universities harmless
Criteria for a performance-based funding model for the state’s colleges and universities
$25 million for the “Work Ready” scholarship program proposed by the House to provide free tuition to the state’s community and technical colleges for incoming students
A $100 million bond pool for workforce development—a proposal from the governor which legislators added specific criteria to including only allowing one project per congressional district
Fully restoring any cuts to K-12 education
Maintaining the 4.5% cuts across many state government agencies
Increase in the state’s “rainy day” fund
An agreement on the state’s two-year Road Fund
The amended version of House Bill 303 passed the Senate 38-0 and the House 98-1 and now heads to the governor.

AYE AND GOMORRAH PDF
LC Classification PS Delany , published by Vintage Books in The book is closely based on an earlier collection, Driftglass , which first appeared in Both carry identical epigraphs. The ten tales contained in Driftglass are all contained in Aye, and Gomorrah, along with five other stories "Omegahelm", "Among the Blobs", "Tapestry", "Prismatica", "Ruins". The stories consist of ten science fiction tales, in the order the writer wrote them, followed by five fantasies, also in chronological order.
Author: Doule Tygorr
Country: Montenegro
Uploader: Akinogrel
Monday, October 7, A Brief Analysis of Aye and Gomorrah Though I have read both Aye and Gomorrah and Bloodchild I have decided to focus my analysis on Aye and Gomorrah which I feel has much more distinct and noticeable queer themes in the general context of science fiction. In passing it is kind of difficult to understand the world created in Aye and Gomorrah. In this alternative world there are several distinct "classes" of people -- the spacers, a type of governmental astronaut chosen early in their age to become sterilized in order to work in space -- frelks, a certain type of people who worship the spacers and are attracted to them, despite the fact that they cannot engage sexually.
I use the term "class" because the author carefully crafts the idea that there are people who have no power over some of their identity and as such are fitted into a place in society. The greatest example of this are the spacers who do not choose to be sterilized, and as such do not go through puberty, and further cannot reproduce with another person.
There are several times in the novel where the author hints at themes and stereotypes of homosexuality, not only in the context of the spacers, but in frelks, and normal humans as well. For example, beyond the frelks, the spacers are often asked to leave, and are often treated different though not necessarily in a derogatory manner. The author also places distinct hints to homosexuality throughout the novel. One that I picked up on was the reference to the two people "queer for frelks" who were beaten up by the spacers.
There is also the obvious reference when the spacers are masquerading through Paris and stop by a pissoir, designed to hold four men that has five, and a "very blond man" is sad since "it looks like you would have been a man.
In terms of the frelks there is the stereotypical reference to "many frelks being artists and professional people," which is a possible reference to the presence of homosexuals amongst those professions. Of course the greatest theme of them all is that of lonliness and desire. The spacers, being aware of their loss of reproductive and sexual abilities and indentities, finds themselves lonley and undesirable.
The frelks, likewise, are attracted to the spacers eventhough they cannot have sexual engagement. As such the frelks are lonely too, and are tempted to purchase their company. Any homosexual understands this scenario. Be it the feeling of loneliness and singularity, or the feeling of undesirable, people attracted to the same sex feel that sort of pain.

Aye, and Gomorrah
Jan 26, Ben Woore rated it it was ok I appreciate the themes this story tries to tackle, and the character interactions were generally fine, but the style of writing here was a major turn-off. While the conversations the protagonist has with the Frelk benefit from leaving things unsaid, the rest of the story gains little from applying the same tactics. The story begins seemingly mid-sentence and plows right on ahead, switching location and time in a matter of short sentences, all while playing its cards very close to its chest. I appreciate the themes this story tries to tackle, and the character interactions were generally fine, but the style of writing here was a major turn-off. This makes it difficult to get into right off the bat and even harder to follow.

When the first collection was put together, Delany and his editor gave serious thought to calling it Aye, and Gomorrah, instead of Driftglass.
HAMELIN LULLABY PDF
Delaney, is narrated in first person in the voice of a Spacer. Spacers are androgynous people who were neutered at puberty so that they can work in space without facing the harmful effects of the radiation. This renders them unable to have sex. Although Spacers do important work for the government and are superficially respected by the citizens, they do not really belong to any place and are often asked to leave. In Paris, one of the Spacers, Kelly, bangs on the walls of a pissoir, disturbing five men inside. You look as though you may once have been a man. The Spacers are also unwelcome in Matamoros, Mexico, where they were rowdy with the shrimp fishermen and broke some windows.

The A&E crisis must be all my fault, obviously
Hugo Rifkind
A preview of Hugo Rifkind’s column in this week’s Spectator, out tomorrow…
Oh, I see. So it’s my fault. There I was, thinking that the general swamping and near collapse of accident and emergency services in hospitals across Britain might be the result of, you know, some sort of systemic problem within the NHS. With me, a mere member of the public, just being an occasional victim. But no! Apparently it’s all because I took my wailing two-year-old daughter in, one Sunday afternoon last year, to get some antibiotics for her ear.
This is good to know. For, had I not been told that all this was the fault of chumps such as me heading to such places for the sorts of trivial ailments better treated by a traditional family doctor, I might in my ignorance have been inclined to blame other people. Such as — to pick an example off the top of my head — Britain’s traditional -family doctors, many of whom might indeed still agree to see a sick toddler at 3 p.m. on a Sunday afternoon these days, but probably only if you stalk them, perhaps with dogs, then chase them through deserted woodlands before pinning them to a tree with a crossbow bolt and holding up your child before their dying eyes. I’d imagine.
Or I might have blamed Tony Blair and his many, many health secretaries, who (I feel it was one of the bald ones) somewhere along the way decided to remove the responsibility for out-of-hours care from GPs and hand it to primary care trusts. Who still employed the same GPs for a while, but forced them to do the same work for far, far more money, poor loves, which was obviously a situation they resented terribly. Or Andrew Lansley, who did… well, God alone knows what to the NHS, really, but whatever it was, whoever it left in charge seems in many areas to have abandoned meaningful out-of-hours care altogether.
Or I could blame David Cameron himself, not only for putting Mr Spock in charge of the Enterprise, but also for the shape of his cuts to local government, which resulted in councils slashing social care, and those who rely upon it falling down to A&E, as crumbs fall to the tray in your toaster. Just so you don’t think this blame I’d have been spreading would have been partisan in any way. Back in my innocence. Before I realised it was all down to me.
Or more terrestrially, I might have blamed the NHS telephone service. Because it’s not as though we want to go to A&E, we trivial time-wasting nincompoops with our red-hot screaming children, is it? No, we do what we are told. We dial 111 and invariably — and really, I don’t know how this always happens — somehow manage to miss the ‘Dial 9 if you’re not a total chuffing idiot who needs to be spoken to like Forrest Gump’ option. So they do speak to us like that, don’t they, asking ‘Is the baby’s head still on?’ and suchlike, before telling you to contact your GP and then — and in quite a tinny, distant manner now, because the telephone is cracked because you’ve smashed it a million times against the wall, because why would you have called them in the first place if you’d been able to do that? — saying, ‘Oh, yeah, well you should probably go to A&E, then.’
Or I might have blamed campaigners who want to ‘save the NHS’. An odd choice, you might think. Yet it is they who have made doing anything — anything — to stall the looming, runaway train of a health -service disaster so politically toxic. They lie. They do. They lie all the time. They wilfully conflate ‘the NHS buying a service from another provider’ with ‘David Cameron selling your health service to his mates from Eton’. Buying and selling. Different things. No? Is that hard to grasp? Then they shriek about ‘privatisation’, knowing full well that this makes people think of America, and insurance, and shudder, even though barely a single politician alive in Britain today believes in anything other than free healthcare at the point of delivery. And the very worst thing about these people is the way they believe themselves to be on a moral crusade. As if caring about anything other than outcomes when it comes to health was not, in fact, as close to the opposite of ‘moral’ as one can be.
Or, while I’m casting around, I could have blamed Andy Burnham, the shadow health secretary, for taking all the above guff and absorbing it, thereby filling Tory hearts with fear as much as he is filling Labour ones with arrant bullshit, and ensuring that the one conversation nobody will have in the long, long run-up to the next election is an honest one about actually improving anything. Although I suspect he’s somebody I’d be better off blaming in the future, when things get even worse.
I’m sure there are other people I might have blamed, had my ignorance continued. I’ve no idea what Jeremy Hunt has done lately, but he’d certainly have been worth a crack. Or I could have blamed immigration, albeit nonsensically, what with the way that a far higher proportion of those working in the NHS are immigrants than of those who use it, thereby showing us that without immigration things would be much worse. But no, it’s none of these people. It’s everybody else. It’s the arse end of the Big Society, in which the populace at large is no longer the solution to every problem, but the cause. It’s me, and my daughter’s ear. And all I can say is, I’m very, very sorry.

Real words from real people who have been coached by Andy.
The coaching I received from Andy helped me make a huge mental shift from a place of fear and anxiety to a place of peace. Andy helped me realize my identity is my own, that I have value in my unique gifts and permission to be who I am created to be.
I am forever grateful for the coaching I received from Andy. It was was well worth the time, money and effort involved. Thank you!
I’m so grateful for the patience, kindness, and expertise Andy shared with me, and know the gifts I received from his coaching will continue supporting me throughout my life.
I got awesome results with Andy. He did a great job aligning my life with my values and purpose. He is very insightful and has a lot of knowledge.
Andy helped me understand why I was feeling so stuck…allowing me to redefine what it means to find direction in life, particularly as it relates to my career.
If it wasn’t for the support and accountability I received from Andy, I never would have thought as deeply about what I most value or need in my life.
Andy identified useful tools and practices, and offered genuine encouragement that have helped me express myself more fully in the world.
Andy helped me overcome the ways I was settling for doing less with my life than I dreamed of doing.
The coaching process with Andy helped me understand my priorities and what I value most in life.
When I started coaching I was burned out on what I felt was a dead end job. By the end of coaching I had renewed energy that I could apply to my career, and ultimately ended up shifting gears and landed my dream job!
The coaching process with Andy helped me develop new ways to think about my professional life, better define my priorities, and articulate my life’s purpose.
During a time of transition, when it would have been easy to get swept up in the routine of life, the coaching process helped me reflect on my hopes, dreams, skills, gifts, and purpose. Working with Andy helped me articulate what I needed to feel balanced and whole.
I started coaching with the hope of being more compassionate to myself. The process helped me recognize the stories I had been telling myself for years and the power they held, and after discussing them, they lost that power, and in losing that power, I found I could show myself compassion. I could hardly believe it, but it happened again and again.
The hardest thing about figuring out who you are is putting language to things you only know on a deep level. Andy created a welcoming space where I could describe what I didn’t have words for, and then gave me the practices and context to articulate them.
When I started coaching I was stuck in an unsatisfying career but couldn’t imagine making a change. My conversations with Andy helped me shed years of other people telling me who and what I needed to be and I now have an identity true to who I am…I live a life full of purpose, follow my passions, and have a career I love!
I have always loved the idea of having values you live by, but Andy helped me identify what is truly most meaningful to me (some of which surprised me) and incorporate them into my everyday thinking.
Coaching helped me understand taking risks and claim my calling.
Andy helped provide clarity around who is most important in my life and I have leaned heavily on this clarity to further pursue the things I want.
The process Andy guided me through helped me find my vision and make a plan to start moving toward it; it also led me to discover my number one priority, which allowed me to take an honest look at my habits and make a few small changes that have had a major impact on my life!
Andy helped me gain insights into my values and authentically live them in my life.
Coaching really was a game changer for me, and Andy is the absolute best; I can’t recommend him highly enough!
Coaching provided me with thoughtful questions and deep listening, creating space to not only be myself, but also see myself, more honestly.
The coaching process helped me better understand the bigger picture of what makes me me, and continue looking for ways to live that out and follow my path.
If it weren’t for the consistent conversations and thoughtful questions Andy provided, I never would have moved outside of my daily rhythm and reflected on how my work, life, and goals were (or were not) in alignment.
I’m grateful to Andy for his listening ear, for holding my story as valid and real and important, and just cheering and honoring me as a person.
Coaching helped me uncover some of the truths about me that I am afraid to reveal to myself and others, most notably, Andy helped me face my fear of being known.
Andy helped me to truly believe that I am good enough.
Andy helped me organize my thoughts about myself so that I could confidently articulate my skills and gifts. This gave me the courage to lead better in my new job!

GOP betrayal in Georgia
by Michael Hill , March 28, 2016
Georgia Governor Nathan Deal vetoed the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, thus giving in to pressure by the sodomite community and the anti-Christian big businesses (including the NFL) who support such perversion. The act would have protected clergymen who refuse to perform LGBT marriages. Faith-based organizations, like Christian schools, would also have been extended protection from renting facilities to any organization that held contrary beliefs.
Governor Deal, a Republican, said “I do not respond well to insults or threats” when reminded that he had been the Judas Iscariot to Georgia’s Christian community. But Deal, merely another craven politician, indeed bowed to the threats of big business to take their Almighty Dollars out of the State of Georgia and to the forces of political correctness.
The League of the South has said for the past two decades that the GOP did not represent the interest of Southerners or Christians. In fact, we pointed out that the Republicans were actual enemies of our Southern traditions and Christian faith. Nathan Deal is merely the latest GOP politician to prove how right we have been.
It’s time for Southerners to identify their enemies and kick them out of office and out of the South altogether. They mean to destroy us and all we hold dear, including our Christian faith. It is past time that we understand we are at war with an enemy that will not be placated. He only understands power. Let’s give him a dose of it.

Black Lives Matter movement has opened the door to the destruction of America
There’s no denying that America is a very different place than it was just a year ago, even if you discount the coronavirus pandemic. We’re seeing our cities transform, and not for the better. Writing for LifeSiteNews, Mary Ann Kreitzer explores how the Black Lives Matter movement and its protests have led to a situation where American cities now have new “mob bosses” who are essentially allowed to disobey police and create disorder.
“We are Democrat vs. Republican, law and order vs. chaos and rioting, black vs. white, tyranny vs. freedom, etc. Increasingly, disagreements result in ‘mob’ action promoted by ‘progressive’ politicians, liberal courts, and prosecutors who justify and enable rioting and violence both by their words and actions,” she writes.
The Black Lives Matter protests quickly lost whatever semblance they may have had to “peaceful protests” and devolved into something far more sinister that is targeting everyone – even, sometimes, their own supporters. Rational thinking has gone out the window and has been replaced by emotional, impulsive mob mentality.
This is something Portland mayor Ted Wheeler recently learned the hard way, as Kreitzer points out. A vocal supporter of Black Lives Matter, he recently held a “listening session” on the city’s streets. Instead of getting a warm welcome, he was jeered and hit by projectiles as rioters attacked and called for his resignation. And yet somehow, he still continues to condemn the presence of federal officers who are protecting the federal courthouse in his city.
Wheeler has also cut millions of dollars from the police budget and defunded its Gun Violence Reduction Team. Not surprisingly, the city noted its highest number of monthly gun murders in 30 years last month, and now Wheeler is considering reestablishing the unit.
The lack of support has the state police fed up. Oregon State Police Spokesman Captain Timothy R. Fox said that they did not wish to use their resources in counties where crime is waved off when they could be using them in counties that prioritize prosecuting criminal behavior.
Chicago is also suffering, with crime reaching new heights as the city becomes increasingly lawless. Kreitzer writes: “Chicago, once under the thumb of gangsters like Al Capone, has new mob bosses, Marxist overlords with their mob strategy.”
Data released by the Chicago police shows that the city saw a 139 percent jump in murders and a 75 percent uptick in shootings during July 2020, and we’re likely to see a lot more of these disturbing statistics across the country in the months to come.
It’s all downhill from here
Media manipulation only makes the situation worse. Many mainstream media outlets are constantly rehashing incidents of police violence but don’t cover cases where police have saved people or performed other good deeds. This has the effect of stoking the anger and ensuring the mayhem continues.
No one can tell what fact or fiction is, and some of those protesting have long lost sight of why they are even there. While these people talk about loving everyone, they assault people who express differing opinions. Their trained organizers are adept at whipping people up into a frenzy and inspiring them to attack perceived threats.
This hate becomes a convenient excuse for looting and burning businesses, and some business owners are finding themselves in the odd position of publicly supporting BLM even as their windows are broken and their shops are looted. Sometimes, they’re afraid not to support them because it may make them targets for further looting, so we’ll probably see them continue repeating the mantra that they support the movement while their shops are burned to the ground. Many people are just too scared to speak out against them.
Make no mistake: This “revolution” will destroy America, and that’s exactly what they want. They’ve targeted statues of American historical figures and have even turned their ire toward Jesus Christ. Racism is unacceptable, there’s no question about it, but supporting BLM and the antifa thugs that have been capitalizing on their movement is ruining our country, city by city.

Seaside Heights Beach, Boardwalk to Become More Dog Friendly
Pro-Trump ‘Make America Great Again’ March Approved for Seaside Heights Boardwalk
Dogs on the Seaside Heights boardwalk during National Dog Day, Aug. 26, 2015. (Photo: Daniel Nee)
Seaside Heights officials on Wednesday introduced an ordinance that will open up the boardwalk and borough beaches to man’s best friend.
The pair of ordinances modify the beach and animal codes for the borough to allow dogs – on leashes – to be taken onto the boardwalk and the beachfront between Oct. 1 and the Sunday before Palm Sunday each year.
“The mayor and council were talking about it in the fall,” said Borough Administrator Christopher Vaz. “Our ordinance doesn’t specifically say you can or can’t have dogs on the beach and boardwalk in the off-season.”
While dogs were not expressly allowed on the boardwalk or beach after the tourist rush ended, many people were under the idea that pets were welcome and brought them anyway.
“It’s basically legalizing something that has already been going on,” Vaz said.
The borough has been trying to be more welcoming to dogs in recent years. This season the town will revive its Dog Day celebration where dogs are allowed on the boardwalk and beach one day during the summer. The event was introduced in 2015 but canceled in 2016 after a person who owns the trademark “National Dog Day” threatened legal action if they event went through.

Restrictions on movement in Bab al-Majles in Jerusalem’s Old City place neighborhood in chokehold
Bab al- Majles is a neighborhood in the heart of the Old City of Jerusalem. Once a rich cultural and social hub, a major route crossed by Muslim worshippers on their way to al-Aqsa Mosque, the neighborhood has been under a chokehold since the police put up a checkpoint at its entrance in the summer of 2014, imposing severe access restrictions, which severely harmed residents’ lives and livelihoods. This is collective punishment of the entire neighborhood. Israel must remove the checkpoints and allow residents to resume their normal lives.

Israel demolished three homes in January in punitive actions, leaving 18 persons homeless; 29 demolitions carried out since Oct. 2015
Since the start of 2016, Israel has demolished three homes as collective punishment for attacks against Israeli civilians committed by family members. This left 18 persons homeless, including seven minors. Security forces have also surveyed dozens of homes slated for future demolition. Despite the extreme nature of this act and the clear position of jurists that it is illegal, the HCJ repeatedly approves the demolitions. Demolishing or sealing homes is a draconian, vindictive action targeting entire families not suspected of any offense.

“The [Green] Line is long gone”: Gilo to be expanded, creating annexable bloc that includes Cremisan Valley and extends to Har Gilo
On 16 Dec. 2015 approval to deposit a plan for review was given for a plan to build 891 residential units south of the neighborhood of Gilo, which is on West Bank land unilaterally annexed to Jerusalem. The southward expansion lays the groundwork for annexation by creating a contiguous bloc between Gilo and the settlement of Har Gilo. The Cremisan Valley, an area under the plan that serves Palestinians as a vital source of income and for recreation, will apparently become a free public space for the residents of Gilo and Har Gilo. This belies the security justification for the barrier’s route accepted by the High Court, and exemplifies Israel’s annexationist policy.

An Organized Barbarity Called 'Demolishing Terrorists’ Homes'
B’Tselem Executive Director El-Ad in an op-ed in Israeli daily Haaretz: The political and legal systems have been thrown into turmoil by Supreme Court Justice Vogelman scheduling an emergency hearing on demolition of the homes of the families of Palestinian perpetrators of attacks. Yet all party to this round of legal-administrative brutality can breathe easy: demolitions were sanctioned, are sanctioned, will be sanctioned by the court. Then, a family – which no one claims is guilty of any wrongdoing – will find its home reduced to a pile of rubble, or poured full of concrete.

Strict movement restrictions in East Jerusalem are prohibited collective punishment of Palestinians
Since 14 Oct. 2015, security forces have implemented the closure policy approved by the Israeli cabinet. Thirty-five checkpoints and concrete roadblocks have been placed at entrances to villages and neighborhoods in East Jerusalem and on internal roads, severely disrupting the lives of some 300,000 Palestinian residents. This constitutes the prohibited collective punishment of a population that lives under occupation and suffers ongoing violation of its rights. The vast majority of this population is not involved in attacks against Israelis.

In view of mounting violence, B’Tselem expresses its deep shock at the contempt for human life and strongly condmens it; while individuals are responsible for their own actions, the government bears responsibility for the reality of the Occupation
The Occupation is now in its 49th year. Recent weeks have seen dozens of horrific attacks on Israelis by Palestinians. Israeli government officials have been calling explicitly to “shoot to kill”; hundreds of Palestinians have been injured and several killed in demonstrations. B’Tselem reiterates its condemnation of attacks against civilians. The government sees the current violence as an eruption of hatred that occurred in a vacuum, while rejecting any responsibility of its own for the situation. Yet recent events cannot be viewed in isolation from the ongoing oppression of 4 million people.

Demolition of attackers’ family homes – government policy of vengeance against innocents continues with High Court approval
Authorities Oct. 6 demolition of two flats and sealing of another in East Jerusalem as collective punishment for attacks by occupant’s relatives left 13, including 7 children, homeless. Most did not live in the units slated for demolition. A policy of demolition attackers’ family homes is collective punishment - prohibited under IHL. Despite widely held legal experts’ opinion that this radical measure is unlawful, the HCJ repeatedly approves it. Demolishing or sealing a home is a draconian measure targeting entire families who have done nothing and are suspected of nothing.

Allowing the use of live ammunition against stone-throwers in East Jerusalem will have lethal consequences
Israeli PM is reportedly seeking clearance to use live fire against stone-throwers in East Jerusalem after an incident in which a Jerusalem resident was killed following suspected stone-throwing. The move would allow police to use potentially lethal Two-Two bullets. A police plan to use assault dogs and collective punishment against East Jerusalem residents was reportedly approved. The authorities must keep the peace and protect residents, but their approach unlawfully and immorally ignores deep-seated discrimination and human rights abuses in East Jerusalem, while using increasingly violent measures against residents there.

Scarecrow Press History
February 10, 2010 by RoryLitwin
As a small publisher in the library field I take inspiration from the history of Scarecrow Press, which I first learned about in Ken Kister’s biography of Eric Moon ( Eric Moon: The Life and Library Times , McFarland Publishers, 2002). I’ve just dug up a 1985 article about the history of Scarecrow Press, written by Moon (who joined the press as its President when it was bought by Grolier) and published in Libraries Unlimited’s Library Science Annual . I am sharing an excerpt here so that you will understand why I feel that Library Juice Press is part of a tradition, and to share a bit of information about a hero of mine in library history.
The Scarecrow Press crept quietly onto the publishing scene over three decades ago [article copyright 1985 -RL], its first book emerging in 1950 from the basement of the founder’s home. That first book, appropriately, was Hessel’s History of Libraries , translated by Reuben Peiss. It was appropriate because the founder and first president of the Press was himself a major figure in the history of libraries: Ralph R. Shaw, a brilliant, contentious dynamo of a man, “a sometimes iconoclast,” and an original thinker who left his imprint on libraries, library education and theory, the profession, and publishing so indelibly that there are few, before or since, who could be said to have matched his contributions.
Shaw started Scarecrow as a hobby, but also, as was the case with many of his ventures, to prove a point. One only had to describe something as impossible to launch Shaw into action. In an RQ article in 1966 he said: “If there is a single thing upon which the publishing fraternity is in agreement it is that the scholarly book of limited distribution cannot be published without subsidy.” Scarecrow was his way of proving, once again, that the impossible could be accomplished.
Robert C. Binkley, in what Shaw considered a classic work, had concluded, “… under present publishing practices … no book can be expected to get the publisher out of the red until sales have passed well beyond the 1,000 mark.” (And this judgment was made during the depths of the Depression!) The essence of Binkley’s argument was that there are certain fixed coasts – editorial, composition, overhead, etc. – that do not vary with the size of the edition, and that these costs must be distributed over the total number of copies sold. If a book sells 50,000 copies, the fixed costs are spread so widely as to be negligible; if the edition sells 250 copies, the part of the fixed costs that must be charged against each copy becomes prohibitive.
Shaw set out to attack what he called the “villain of the piece”: those fixed costs. Before his first book was published he was talking one day with his friend and colleague, author-editor Earl Schenk Miers, who had been associated with the Rutgers University Press. Describing his new venture, Shaw detailed how he intended to avoid “excessive office costs, excessive editorial costs, general trade advertising and the building up of staff, which would then continue to have to be supported.” Miers broke in, “You’re talking about a scarecrow: it has no overhead, it pays no rent, it is not responsible for anybody’s future clothing or shelter. It’s a scarecrow.” And thus was Shaw’s new baby christened.

2 comments on “Scarecrow Press History”
In library school, my late professor Allen Smith used a book from Scarecrow Press as example of items that “filled a much-needed gap” – that is, they were the only available books on a subject, but were so poorly put together that you would rather have a gap in your collection so that when a proper title came along you wouldn’t be discouraged from purchasing it.
I think there were probably some flaws in this idea of collection development, but the example in question, a bibliography of Oral History, was indeed horrible; it was a list of things that came up in other indexes under the heading ‘Oral history’, with no cross references, no annotations or abstracts, and barely an introduction if I remember.
Smith took every chance he could to skewer Scarecrow, including in this review of a different bibliography on the subject, http://www.jstor.org/stable/3675011?seq=1, where he credits his students for the skewering. I’m not sure if this was disingenuous or not – I didn’t hear the lecture until 1998.
So it has been interesting to see Scarecrow lauded in recent years, predisposed as I was to distrust them.
Your excerpt helps explain things – if cutting down on “fixed costs” enables more and varied types of scholarly works to be published, a lack of critical oversight can also hurt a publisher’s reputation.
Somehow I don’t think Juice Press has a problem with critical oversight, so thanks again for filling helping to fill in the gaps in published knowledge.
Rory Litwin says:
Thanks for your comments, Caleb.
One difference between what I am doing and what Ralph Shaw was doing is that I am putting out far fewer titles (at least right now). Last year we put out ten titles. In those early years, Scarecrow put out many times that. There are occasionally typos that make it through to the published book with us, but editorially we are rather severe overall. We reject more book proposals than we accept, and sometimes refer decent proposals to other publishers if they are not quite within our scope. That may mean that it will take us longer to gain the profile that Scarecrow has as a key publisher, but it also means that we won’t have to overcome a bad reputation on the way.

CONTAINING THE OLD AND NEW TESTAMENTS
TRANSLATED OUT OF THE ORIGINAL TONGUES AND WITH THE FORMER TRANSLATIONS DILIGENTLY COMPARED AND REVISED BY HIS MAJESTY'S SPECIAL COMMAND
APPOINTED TO BE READ IN CHURCHES
THE TEXT CONFORMABLE TO THAT OF THE EDITION OF 1611 COMMONLY KNOWN AS THE AUTHORIZED OR KING JAMES VERSION
THE TRANSLATORS TO THE READER
The best things have been calumniated
Zeal to promote the common good, whether it be by devising anything ourselves, or revising that which hath been laboured by others, deserveth certainly much respect and esteem, but yet findeth but cold entertainment in the world. It is welcomed with suspicion instead of love, and with emulation instead of thanks: and if there be any hole left for cavil to enter (and cavil, if it do not find a hole, will make one), it is sure to be misconstrued, and in danger to be condemned. This will easily be granted by as many as know story, or have any experience. For, was there ever anything projected, that savoured any way of newness or renewing, but the same endured many a storm of gainsaying, or opposition? A man would think that civility, wholesome laws, learning and eloquence, synods, and church maintenance (that we speak of no more things of this kind) should be as safe as a sanctuary, and out of shot, as they say, that no man would lift up the heel; no, nor dog move his tongue against the motioners of them. For by the first, we are distinguished from brute beasts led with sensuality; by the second, we are bridled and restrained from outrageous behaviour, and from doing of injuries, whether by fraud or by violence; by the third, we are enabled to inform and reform others, by the light and feeling that we have attained unto ourselves; briefly, by the fourth being brought together to a parle face to face, we sooner compose our differences than by writings, which are endless; and lastly, that the church be sufficiently provided for, is so agreeable to good reason and conscience, that those mothers are holden to be less cruel, that kill their children as soon as they are born, than those nursing fathers and mothers (wheresoever they be) that withdraw from them who hang upon their breasts (and upon whose breasts again themselves do hang to receive the spiritual and sincere milk of the word) livelihood and support fit for their estates. Thus it is apparent, that these things which we speak of, are of most necessary use, and therefore, that none, either without absurdity can speak against them, or without note of wickedness can spurn against them.
Yet for all that, the learned know that certain worthy men have been brought to untimely death for none other fault, but for seeking to reduce their countrymen to good order and discipline; and that in some commonweals it was made a capital crime, once to motion the making of a new law for the abrogating of an old, though the same were most pernicious; and that certain, which would be counted pillars of the state, and patterns of virtue and prudence, could not be brought for a long time to give way to good letters and refined speech, but bare themselves as averse from them, as from rocks or boxes of poison; and fourthly, that he was no babe, but a great clerk, that gave forth (and in writing to remain to posterity) in passion peradventure, but yet he gave forth, that he had not seen any profit to come by any synod, or meeting of the clergy, but rather the contrary; and lastly, against church maintenance and allowance, in such sort, as the ambassadors and messengers of the great King of Kings should be furnished, it is not unknown what a fiction or fable (so it is esteemed, and for no better by the reporter himself, though superstitious) was devised--namely, that at such a time as the professors and teachers of Christianity in the Church of Rome, then a true church, were liberally endowed, a voice forsooth was heard from heaven, saying, "Now is poison poured down into the church," etc.. Thus not only as oft as we speak, as one saith, but also as oft as we do anything of note or consequence, we subject ourselves to everyone's censure, and happy is he that is least tossed upon tongues; for utterly to escape the snatch of them it is impossible. If any man conceit, that this is the lot and portion of the meaner sort only, and that princes are privileged by their high estate, he is deceived. "As the sword devoureth as well one as the other," as it is in Samuel ; nay, as the great commander charged his soldiers in a certain battle, to strike at no part of the enemy, but at the face; and as the king of Syria commanded his chief captains to "fight neither with small nor great, save only against the king of Israel" ; so it is too true, that Envy striketh most spitefully at the fairest, and at the chiefest. David was a worthy prince, and no man to be compared to him for his first deeds, and yet for as worthy as act as ever he did (even for bringing back the Ark of God in solemnity), he was scorned and scoffed at by his own wife. Solomon was greater than David--though not in virtue, yet in power--and by his power and wisdom he built a temple to the LORD, such a one as was the glory of the land of Israel, and the wonder of the whole world. But was that his magnificence liked of by all? We doubt of it. Otherwise, why do they lay it in his son's dish, and call unto him for easing of the burden : "Make," say they, "the grievous servitude of thy father, and his sore yoke, lighter"? Belike he had charged them with some levies, and troubled them with some carriages. Hereupon they raise up a tragedy, and wish in their heart the temple had never been built. So hard a thing it is to please all, even when we please God best, and do seek to approve ourselves to every one's conscience.
The highest personages have been calumniated
If we will descend to later times, we shall find many the like examples of such kind, or rather unkind, acceptance. The first Roman emperor did never do a more pleasing deed to the learned, nor more profitable to posterity, for conserving the record of times in true supputation, than when he corrected the calendar, and ordered the year according to the course of the sun; and yet this was imputed to him for novelty, and arrogancy, and procured to him great obloquy. So the first christened emperor (at the leastwise, that openly professed the faith himself, and allowed others to do the like), for strengthening the empire at his great charges, and providing for the church as he did, got for his labour the name "Pupillus," as who would say, a wasteful prince, that had need of a guardian or overseer. So the best christened emperor, for the love that he bare unto peace, thereby to enrich both himself and his subjects, and because he did not see war but find it, was judged to be no man at arms (though indeed he excelled in feats of chivalry, and showed so much when he was provoked), and condemned for giving himself to his ease, and to his pleasure. To be short, the most learned emperor of former times (at the least, the greatest politician), what thanks had he for cutting off the superfluities of the laws, and digesting them into some order and method? This, that he hath been blotted by some to be an epitomist--that is, one that extinguished worthy whole volumes, to bring his abridgments into request. This is the measure that hath been rendered to excellent princes in former times, even, Cum bene facerent, male audire--"for their good deeds to be evil spoken of." Neither is there any likelihood that envy and malignity died and were buried with the ancient. No, no, the reproof of Moses taketh hold of most ages: "You are risen up in your fathers' stead, an increase of sinful men". "What is that that hath been done? that which shall be done, and there is no new thing under the sun," saith the wise man ; and St. Stephen, "As your fathers did, so do you".
His Majesty's constancy, notwithstanding calumniation, for the survey of the English translations
This, and more to this purpose, His Majesty that now reigneth (and long, and long may he reign, and his offspring forever, "Himself and children, and children's children always") knew full well, according to the singular wisdom given unto him by God, and the rare learning and experience that he hath attained unto; namely that whosoever attempteth anything for the public (especially if it pertain to religion, and to the opening and clearing of the word of God), the same setteth himself upon a stage to be glouted upon by every evil eye; yea, he casteth himself headlong upon pikes, to be gored by every sharp tongue. For he that meddleth with men's religion in any part, meddleth with their custom, nay, with their freehold; and though they find no content in that which they have, yet they cannot abide to hear of altering. Notwithstanding, his royal heart was not daunted or discouraged for this that colour, but stood resolute, "as a statue immovable, and an anvil not easy to be beaten into plates", as one saith; he knew who had chosen him to be a soldier, or rather a captain, and being assured that the course which he intended made much for the glory of God, and the building up of his church, he would not suffer it to be broken off for whatsoever speeches or practices. It doth certainly belong unto kings, yea, it doth specially belong unto them, to have care of religion; yea, to know it aright; yea, to profess it zealously; yea, to promote it to the uttermost of their power. This is their glory before all nations which mean well, and this will bring unto them a far most excellent weight of glory in the day of the Lord Jesus. For the Scripture saith not in vain, "Them that honor me, I will honor" ; neither was it a vain word that Eusebius delivered long ago, that piety towards God was the weapon, and the only weapon, that both preserved Constantine's person, and avenged him of his enemies.
The praise of the Holy Scriptures
But now what piety without truth? what truth (what saving truth) without the word of God? What word of God (whereof we may be sure) without the Scripture? The Scriptures we are commanded to search, John 5:39, Isa. 8:20. They are commended that searched and studied them, Acts 17:11 and 8:28-29. They are reproved that were unskillful in them, or slow to believe them, Matt. 22:29, Luke 24:25. They can make us wise unto salvation, 2 Tim. 3:15. If we be ignorant, they will instruct us; if out of the way, they will bring us home; if out of order, they will reform us; if in heaviness, comfort us; if dull, quicken us; if cold, inflame us. Tolle, lege; tolle, lege, "take up and read, take up and read" the Scriptures (for unto them was the direction), it was said unto St. Augustine by a supernatural voice. "Whatsoever is in the Scriptures, believe me," saith the same St. Augustine, "is high and divine; there is verily truth, and a doctrine most fit for the refreshing of men's minds, and truly so tempered, that everyone may draw from thence that which is sufficient for him, if he come to draw with a devout and pious mind, as true religion requireth". Thus St. Augustine. And St. Jerome: Ama scripturas, et amabit te sapientia, etc., "Love the Scriptures, and wisdom will love thee." And St. Cyril against Julian: "Even boys that are bred up in the Scriptures, become most religious, etc.". But what mention we three or four uses of the Scripture, whereas whatsoever is to be believed or practiced, or hoped for, is contained in them? or three or four sentences of the Fathers, since whosoever is worthy the name of a Father, from Christ's time downward, hath likewise written not only of the riches, but also of the perfection of the Scripture? "I adore the fulness of the Scripture," saith Tertullian against Hermogenes. And again, to Apelles, an heretic of the like stamp, he saith, "I do not admit that which thou bringest in (or concludest) of thine own (head or store, de tuo) without scripture." So St. Justin Martyr before him: "We must know by all means," saith he, "that it is not lawful (or possible) to learn (anything) of God or of right piety, save only out of the prophets, who teach us by divine inspiration". So Saint Basil after Tertullian, "It is a manifest falling way from the faith, and a fault of presumption, either to reject any of those things that are written, or to bring in (upon the head of them, epeisagein) any of those things that are not written". We omit to cite to the same effect, St. Cyril, b<ishop> of Jerusalem, in his Fourth Cataches, St. Jerome against Helvidius, St. Augustine in his third book against the letters of Petilian, and in very many other places of his works. Also we forebear to descend to later Fathers, because we will not weary the reader. The Scriptures then being acknowledged to be so full and so perfect, how can we excuse ourselves of negligence, if we do not study them? of curiosity, if we be not content with them? Men talk much of eiresiwnh, how many sweet and goodly things it had hanging on it; of the Philosopher's Stone, that it turneth copper into gold; of cornucopia, that it had all things necessary for food in it; of Panaces the herb, that it was good for diseases; of Catholicon the drug, that it is in stead of all purges; of Vulcan's armor, that it was an armor of proof against all thrusts and all blows, etc.. Well, that which they falsely or vainly attributed to these things for bodily good, we may justly and with full measure ascribe unto the Scripture, for spiritual. It is not only an armor, but also a whole armory of weapons, both offensive and defensive, whereby we may save ourselves and put the enemy to flight. It is not an herb, but a tree, or rather a whole paradise of trees of life, which bring forth fruit every month, and the fruit thereof is for meat, and the leaves for medicine. It is not a pot of manna, or a cruse of oil, which were for memory only, or for a meal's meat or two, but as it were a shower of heavenly bread sufficient for a whole host, be it never so great; and as it were a whole cellar full of oil vessels; whereby all our necessities may be provided for, and our debts discharged. In a word, it is a panary of wholesome food against finewed traditions; a physician's shop (St. Basil calleth it) of preservatives against poisoned heresies; a pandect of profitable laws against rebellious spirits; a treasury of most costly jewels against beggarly rudiments; finally, a fountain of most pure water springing up unto everlasting life. And what marvel? The original thereof being from heaven, not from earth; the Author being God, not man; the Inditer, the Holy Spirit, not the wit of the apostles or prophets; the penmen such as were sanctified from the womb, and endued with a principal portion of God's spirit; the matter, verity, piety, purity, uprightness; the form, God's word, God's testimony, God's oracles, the word of truth, the word of salvation, etc.; the effects, light of understanding, stableness of persuasion, repentance from dead works, newness of life, holiness, peace, joy in the Holy Ghost; lastly, the end and reward of the study thereof, fellowship with the saints, participation of the heavenly nature, fruition of an inheritance immortal, undefiled, and that never shall fade away. Happy is the man that delighteth in the Scripture, and thrice happy that meditateth in it day and night.
Translation necessary
But how shall men meditate in that which they cannot understand? How shall they understand that which is kept close in an unknown tongue? As it is written, "Except I know the power of the voice, I shall be to him that speaketh a barbarian, and he that speaketh shall be a barbarian to me". The apostle excepteth no tongue; not Hebrew the ancientest, not Greek the most copious, not Latin the finest. Nature taught a natural man to confess that all of us in those tongues which we do not understand are plainly deaf; we may turn the deaf ear unto them. The Scythian counted the Athenian, whom he did not understand, barbarous ; so the Roman did the Syrian and the Jew (even St. Jerome himself called the Hebrew tongue barbarous, belike because it was strange to so many) ; so the Emperor of Constantinople calleth the Latin tongue barbarous, though Pope Nicolas do storm at it: ; so the Jews long before Christ called all other nations Lognazim, which is little better than barbarous. Therefore as one complaineth, that always in the senate of Rome, there was one or other that called for an interpreter, so, lest the church be driven to the like exigent, it is necessary to have translations in a readiness. Translation it is that openeth the window, to let in the light; that breaketh the shell, that we may eat the kernel; that putteth aside the curtain, that we may look into the most holy place; that removeth the cover of the well, that we may come by the water, even as Jacob rolled away the stone from the mouth of the well, by which means the flocks of Laban were watered. Indeed, without translation into the vulgar tongue, the unlearned are but like children at Jacob's well (which was deep) without a bucket or something to draw with; or as that person mentioned by Isaiah, to whom when a sealed book was delivered, with this motion, "Read this, I pray thee," he was fain to make this answer: "I cannot, for it is sealed".
The translation of the Old Testament out of the Hebrew into Greek
While God would be known only in Jacob, and have his name great in Israel, and in none other place; while the dew lay on Gideon's fleece only, and all the earth besides was dry; then for one and the same people, which spake all of them the language of Canaan--that is, Hebrew--, one and the same original in Hebrew was sufficient. But when the fulness of time drew near that the Sun of righteousness, the Son of God, should come into the world, whom God ordained to be a reconciliation through faith in His blood, not of the Jew only, but also of the Greek, yea, of all them that were scattered abroad; then lo, it pleased the Lord to stir up the spirit of a Greek prince (Greek for descent and language), even of Ptolemy Philadelph, king of Egypt, to procure the translating of the book of God out of Hebrew into Greek. This is the translation of the Seventy Interpreters, commonly so called, which prepared the way for our Saviour among the Gentiles by written preaching, as St. John Baptist did among the Jews by vocal. For the Grecians, being desirous of learning, were not wont to suffer books of worth to lie moulding in kings' libraries, but had many of their servants, ready scribes, to copy them out, and so they were dispersed and made common. Again, the Greek tongue was well known and made familiar to most inhabitants in Asia, by reason of the conquest that there the Grecians had made, as also by the Colonies, which thither they had sent. For the same causes also it was well understood in many places of Europe, yea, and of Africa too. Therefore the word of God, being set forth in Greek, becometh hereby like a candle set upon a candlestick, which giveth light to all that are in the house; or like a proclamation sounded forth in the market place, which most men presently take knowledge of; and therefore that language was fittest to contain the Scriptures, both for the first preachers of the gospel to appeal unto for witness, and for the learners also of those times to make search and trial by. It is certain, that that translation was not so sound and so perfect, but it needed in many places correction; and who had been so sufficient for this work as the apostles or apostolic men? Yet it seemed good to the Holy Ghost and to them, to take that which they found (the same being for the greatest part true and sufficient), rather than making a new, in that new world and green age of the church--to expose themselves to many exceptions and cavillations, as though they made a translation to serve their own turn, and therefore bearing a witness to themselves, their witness not to be regarded. This may be supposed to be some cause why the translation of the Seventy was allowed to pass for current. Notwithstanding, though it was commended generally, yet it did not fully content the learned--no, not of the Jews. For not long after Christ, Aquila fell in hand with a new translation, and after him Theodotion, and after him Symmachus; yea, there was a fifth and a sixth edition, the authors whereof were not known. These with the Seventy made up the Hexapla, and were worthily and to great purpose compiled together by Origen. Howbeit the edition of the Seventy went away with the credit, and therefore not only was placed in the midst by Origen (for the worth and excellency thereof above the rest, as Epiphanius gathereth), but also was used by the Greek Fathers for the ground and foundation of their commentaries. Yea, Epiphanius above named doth attribute so much unto it, that he holdeth the authors thereof not only for interpreters, but also for prophets in some respect; and Justinian the Emperor, enjoining the Jews his subjects to use specially the translation of the Seventy, rendereth this reason thereof: because they were as it were enlightened with prophetical grace. Yet for all that, as the Egyptians are said of the prophet to be men and not God, and their horses flesh and not spirit ; so it is evident (and St. Jerome affirmeth as much) that the Seventy were interpreters; they were not prophets. They did many things well, as learned men; but yet as men they stumbled and fell, one while through oversight, another while through ignorance; yea, sometimes they may be noted to add to the original, and sometimes to take from it, which made the apostles to leave them many times, when they left the Hebrew, and to deliver the sense thereof according to the truth of the word, as the Spirit gave them utterance. This may suffice touching the Greek translations of the Old Testament.
Translation out of Hebrew and Greek into Latin
There were also, within a few hundred years after Christ, translations many into the Latin tongue; for this tongue also was very fit to convey the law and the gospel by, because in those times very many countries of the West, yea of the South, East and North, spake or understood Latin, being made provinces to the Romans. But now the Latin translations were too many to be all good, for they were infinite (Latini interpretes nullo modo numerari possunt, saith St. Augustine). Again they were not out of the Hebrew fountain (we speak of the Latin translations of the Old Testament) but out of the Greek stream; therefore, the Greek being not altogether clear, the Latin derived from it must needs be muddy. This moved St. Jerome--a most learned father, and the best linguist without controversy of his age or of any that went before him--to undertake the translating of the Old Testament, out of the very fountains themselves; which he performed with that evidence of great learning, judgment, industry, and faithfulness, that he hath forever bound the church unto him in a debt of special remembrance and thankfulness.
The translating of the Scripture into the vulgar tongues
Now though the Church were thus furnished with Greek and Latin translations, even before the faith of Christ was generally embraced in the empire (for the learned know that even in St. Jerome's time, the consul of Rome and his wife were both Ethnics, and about the same time the greatest part of the senate also) ; yet for all that the godly-learned were not content to have the Scriptures in the language which they themselves understood, Greek and Latin (as the good lepers were not content to fare well themselves, but acquainted their neighbors with the store that God had sent, that they also might provide for themselves) ; but also for the behoof and edifying of the unlearned which hungered and thirsted after righteousness, and had souls to be saved as well as they, they provided translations into the vulgar for their countrymen, insomuch that most nations under heaven did shortly after their conversion, hear Christ speaking unto them in their mother tongue, not by the voice of their minister only, but also by the written word translated. If any doubt hereof, he may be satisfied by examples enough, if enough will serve the turn. First, St. Jerome saith, Multarum gentium linguis Scriptura ante translata, docet falsa esse quae addita sunt, etc.; i.e., "The Scripture being translated before in the languages of many nations, doth show that those things that were added (by Lucian and Hesychius) are false". So St. Jerome in that place. The same Jerome elsewhere affirmeth that he, the time was, had set forth the translation of the Seventy suae linguae hominibus, i.e., for his countrymen of Dalmatia Which words not only Erasmus doth understand to purport, that St. Jerome translated the Scripture into the Dalmatian tongue, but also Sixtus Senensis, and Alphonsus a' Castro (that we speak of no more), men not to be excepted against by them of Rome, do ingenuously confess as much. So St. Chrysostom, that lived in St. Jerome's time, giveth evidence with him: "The doctrine of St. John," saith he, "did not in such sort"--as the philosophers' did--"vanish away; but the Syrians, Egyptians, Indians, Persians, Ethiopians, and infinite other nations, being barbarous people, translated it into their (mother) tongue, and have learned to be (true) philosophers"--he meaneth "Christians". To this may be added Theodoret, as next unto him, both for antiquity and for learning. His words be these: "Every country that is under the sun, is full of these words (of the apostles and prophets) and the Hebrew tongue (he meaneth the Scriptures in the Hebrew tongue) is turned not only into the language of the Grecians, but also of the Romans, and Egyptians, and Persians, and Indians, and Armenians, and Scythians, and Sauromatians, and briefly into all the languages that any nation useth". So he. In like manner, Ulpilas is reported by Paulus Diaconus and Isidor (and before them by Sozomen) to have translated the Scriptures into the Gothic tongue, John, bishop of Sevil, by Vasseus to have turned them into Arabic, about the year of our Lord 717 ; Beda by Cistertiensis, to have turned a great part of them into Saxon; Efnard by Trithemius, to have abridged the French psalter, as Beda had done the Hebrew, about the year 800; King Alfred by the said Cistertiensis, to have turned the psalter into Saxon ; Methodius by Aventinus (printed at Ingolstadt) to have turned the Scriptures into Slavonian ; Valdo, bishop of Frising, by Beatus Rhenanus to have caused about that time the gospels to be translated into Dutch rhythm, yet extant in the Library of Corbinian ; Valdus, by divers to have turned them himself or to have gotten them turned into French, about the year 1160; Charles the Fifth of that name, surnamed the Wise, to have caused them to be turned into French, about 200 years after Valdus his time, of which translation there be many copies yet extant, as witnesseth Beroaldus. Much about that time, even in our King Richard the Second's days, John Trevisa translated them into English, and many English Bibles in written hand are yet to be seen with divers, translated, as it is very probable, in that age. So the Syrian translation of the New Testament is in most learned men's libraries of Widminstadius his setting forth, and the psalter in Arabic is with many of Augustinus Nebiensis' setting forth. So Postel affirmeth, that in his travel he saw the gospels in the Ethiopian tongue; and Ambrose Thesius allegeth the psalter of the Indians, which he testifieth to have been set forth by Potken in Syrian characters. So that to have the Scriptures in the mother tongue is not a quaint conceit lately taken up, either by the Lord Cromwell in England, or by the Lord Radevile in Polony, or by the Lord Ungnadius in the emperor's dominion, but hath been thought upon and put in practice of old, even from the first times of the conversion of any nation; no doubt because it was esteemed most profitable, to cause faith to grow in men's hearts the sooner, and to make them to be able to say with the words of the Psalms, "As we have heard, so we have seen".
The unwillingness of our chief adversaries that the Scriptures should be divulged in the mother tongue, etc.
Now the church of Rome would seem at the length to bear a motherly affection towards her children, and to allow them the Scriptures in their mother tongue. But indeed it is a gift, not deserving to be called a gift--an unprofitable gift ; they must first get a license in writing before they may use them, and to get that, they must approve themselves to their confessor--that is, to be such as are, if not frozen in the dregs, yet soured with the leaven of their superstition. Howbeit, it seemed too much to Clement the Eighth that there should be any license granted to have them in the vulgar tongue, and therefore he overruleth and frustrateth the grant of Pius the Fourth. So much are they afraid of the light of the Scripture (Lucifugae Scripturarum, as Tertullian speaketh) that they will not trust the people with it--no, not as it is set forth by their own sworn men; no, not with the license of their own bishops and inquisitors. Yea, so unwilling they are to communicate the Scriptures to the people's understanding in any sort, that they are not ashamed to confess that we forced them to translate it into English against their wills. This seemeth to argue a bad cause, or a bad conscience, or both. Sure we are, that it is not he that hath good gold, that is afraid to bring it to the touchstone, but he that hath the counterfeit; neither is it the true man that shunneth the light, but the malefactor, lest his deeds should be reproved ; neither is it the plain-dealing merchant that is unwilling to have the weights, or the meteyard brought in place, but he that useth deceit. But we will let them alone for this fault, and return to translation.
The speeches and reasons, both of our brethren and of our adversaries, against this work
Many men's mouths have been open a good while (and yet are not stopped) with speeches about the translation so long in hand, or rather perusals of translations made before, and ask what may be the reason, what the necessity of the employment. Hath the church been deceived, say they, all this while? Hath her sweet bread been mingled with leaven, here silver with dross, her wine with water, her milk with lime? (Lacte gypsum male miscetur, saith St. Ireney.) We hoped that we had been in the right way, that we had had the oracles of God delivered unto us, and that though all the world had cause to be offended and to complain, yet that we had none. Hath the nurse holden out the breast, and nothing but wind in it? Hath the bread been delivered by the Fathers of the Church, and the same proved to be lapidosus, as Seneca speaketh? What is it to handle the word of God deceitfully, if this be not? Thus certain brethren. Also the adversaries of Judah and Jerusalem, like Sanballat in Nehemiah, mock, as we hear, both the work and the workmen, saying, "What do these weak Jews, etc.? Will they make the stones whole again out of the heaps of dust which are burnt? Although they build, yet if a fox go up, he shall even break down their stony wall". "Was their translation good before? Why do they now mend it? Was it not good? Why then was it obtruded to the people? Yea, why did the Catholics (meaning popish Romanists) always go in jeopardy, for refusing to go to hear it? Nay, if it must be translated into English, Catholics are fittest to do it. They have learning, and they know when a thing is well; they can manum de tabula." We will answer them both briefly; and the former, being brethren, thus, with St. Jerome, Damnamus veteres? Minime, sed post priorum studia in domo Domini quod possums laboramus. That is, "Do we condemn the ancient? In no case, but after the endeavors of them that were before us, we take the best pains we can in the house of God." As if he said, "Being provoked by the example of the learned men that lived before my time, I have thought it my duty, to assay whether my talent in the knowledge of the tongues may be profitable in any measure to God's church, lest I should seem to laboured in them in vain, and lest I should be thought to glory in men (although ancient) above that which was in them." Thus St. Jerome may be thought to speak.
A satisfaction to our brethren
And to the same effect say we, that we are so far off from condemning any of their labors that travailed before us in this kind, either in this land or beyond sea, either in King Henry's time or King Edward's (if there were any translation or correction of a translation in his time), or Queen Elizabeth's of ever renowned memory, that we acknowledge them to have been raised up of God, for the building and furnishing of his church, and that they deserve to be had of us and of posterity in everlasting remembrance. The judgment of Aristotle is worthy and well known: "If Timotheus had not been, we had not had much sweet music; but if Phrynis (Timotheus his master) had not been, we had not had Timotheus". Therefore blessed be they, and most honoured be their name, that break the ice, and give the onset upon that which helpeth forward to the saving of souls. Now what can be more available thereto, than to deliver God's book unto God's people in a tongue which they understand? Since of a hidden treasure and of a fountain that is sealed there is no profit, as Ptolemy Philadelph wrote to the rabbins or masters of the Jews, as witnesseth Epiphanius ; and as St. Augustine saith, "A man had rather be with his dog than with a stranger (whose tongue is strange unto him)" ; yet for all that, as nothing is begun and perfected at the same time, and the later thoughts are thought to be the wiser; so, if we building upon their foundation that went before us, and being holpen by their labours, do endeavor to make that better which they left so good, no man, we are sure, hath cause to mislike us; they, we persuade ourselves, if they were alive, would thank us. The vintage of Abiezer, that strake the stroke, yet the gleaning of grapes of Ephraim was not to be despised (see Judges 8:2). Joash the king of Israel did not satisfy himself till he had smitten the ground three times; and yet he offended the prophet, for giving over then. Aquila, of whom we spake before, translated the Bible as carefully and as skillfully as he could; and yet he thought good to go over it again, and then it got the credit with the Jews, to be called kata akribeian, that is, "accurately done," as St. Jerome witnesseth. How many books of profane learning have been gone over again and again by the same translators? by others? Of one and the same book of Aristotle's Ethics, there are extant not so few as six or seven several translations. Now if this cost may be bestowed upon the gourd, which affordeth us a little shade, and which today flourisheth, but tomorrow is cut down; what may we bestow--nay, what ought we not to bestow--upon the vine, the fruit whereof maketh glad the conscience of man, and the stem whereof abideth forever? And this is the word of God, which we translate. "What is the chaff to the wheat, saith the Lord?" Tanti vitreum, quanti verum margaritum, saith Tertullian --"if a toy of glass be of that reckoning with us, how ought we to value the true pearl?" Therefore let no man's eye be evil, because His Majesty's is good; neither let any be grieved, that we have a prince that seeketh the increase of the spiritual wealth of Israel. (Let Sanballats and Tobiahs do so, which therefore do bear their just reproof.) But let us rather bless God from the ground of our heart, for working this religious care in him, to have the translations of the Bible maturely considered of and examined. For by this means it cometh to pass, that whatsoever is sound already (and all is sound for substance, in one or other of our editions, and the worst of ours far better than their authentic vulgar), the same will shine as gold more brightly, being rubbed and polished; also, if anything be halting, or superfluous, or not so agreeable to the original, the same may be corrected, and the truth set in place. And what can the king command to be done, that will bring him more true honour than this? and wherein could they that have been set a work, approve their duty to the king,--yea their obedience to God, and love to his saints--more, than by yielding their service, and all that is within them, for the furnishing of the work? But besides all this, they were the principal motives of it, and therefore ought least to quarrel it; for the very historical truth is, that upon the importunate petitions of the Puritans, at His Majesty's coming to this crown, the conference at Hampton Court having been appointed for hearing their complaints, when by force of reason they were put from all other grounds, they had recourse at the last, to this shift, that they could not with good conscience subscribe to the communion book, since it maintained the Bible as it was there translated, which was (as they said) a most corrupted translation. And although this was judged to be but a very poor and empty shift, yet even hereupon did His Majesty begin to bethink himself of the good that might ensue by a new translation, and presently after gave order for this translation which is now presented unto thee. Thus much to satisfy our scrupulous brethren.
An answer to the imputations of our adversaries
Now to the latter we answer that we do not deny--nay, we affirm and avow--that the very meanest translation of the Bible in English, set forth by men of our profession, (for we have seen none of theirs of the whole Bible as yet) containeth the word of God, nay, is the word of God. As the king's speech, which he uttered in Parliament, being translated into French, Dutch, Italian, and Latin, is still the king's speech, though it be not interpreted by every translator with the like grace, nor peradventure so fitly for phrase, nor so expressly for sense, everywhere. For it is confessed that things are to take their denomination of the greater part; and a natural man could say, Verum ubi multa nitent in carmine, non ego paucis offendor maculis, etc. --"a man may be counted a virtuous man, though he have made many slips in his life" (else there were none virtuous, for in many things we offend all) ; also a comely man and lovely, though he have some warts upon his hand--yea, not only freckles upon his face, but also scars. No cause therefore why the word translated should be denied to be the word, or forbidden to be current, notwithstanding that some imperfections and blemishes may be noted in the setting forth of it. For whatever was perfect under the sun, where apostles or apostolic men--that is, men endued with an extraordinary measure of God's spirit, and privileged with the privilege of infallibility--had not their hand? The Romanists therefore, in refusing to hear, and daring to burn the word translated, did no less than despite the Spirit of grace, from whom originally it proceeded, and whose sense and meaning, as well as man's weakness would enable, it did express. Judge by an example or two. Plutarch writeth, that after that Rome had been burnt by the Gauls, they fell soon to build it again; but doing it in haste, they did not cast the streets, nor proportion the houses in such comely fashion, as had been most sightly and convenient. Was Catiline therefore an honest man, or a good patriot, that sought to bring it to a combustion? or Nero a good prince, that did indeed set it on fire? So by the story of Ezra and the prophecy of Haggai it may be gathered, that the temple built by Zerubbabel after the return from Babylon, was by no means to be compared to the former built by Solomon (for they that remembered the former wept when they considered the latter) ; notwithstanding, might this latter either have been abhorred and forsaken by the Jews, or profaned by the Greeks? The like we are to think of translations. The translation of the Seventy dissenteth from the original in many places; neither doth it come near it, for perspicuity, gravity, majesty; yet which of the apostles did condemn it? Condemn it? Nay, they used it (as it is apparent, and as St. Jerome and most learned men do confess), which they would not have done, nor by their example of using it so grace and commend it to the church, if it had been unworthy the appellation and name of the word of God. And whereas they urge for their second defence of their vilifying and abusing of the English Bibles, or some pieces thereof which they meet with, for that "heretics," forsooth, were the authors of the translations ("heretics" they call us by the same right that they call themselves "Catholics," both being wrong), we marvel what divinity taught them so. We are sure Tertullian was of another mind: Ex personis probamus fidem, an ex fide personas? --"Do we try men's faith by their persons? We should try their persons by their faith." Also St. Augustine was of another mind, for he lighting upon certain rules made by Tychonius, a Donatist, for the better understanding of the word, was not ashamed to make use of them--yea, to insert them into his own book, with giving commendation to them so far forth as they were worthy to be commended, as is to be seen in St. Augustine's third book <of> De doctrina Christiana. To be short, Origen, and the whole church of God for certain hundred years, were of another mind, for they were so far from treading under foot (much more from burning) the translation of Aquila, a proselyte (that is, one that had turned Jew)--of Symmachus, and Theodotion, both Ebionites (that is, most vile heretics)--that they joined them together with the Hebrew original, and the translation of the Seventy (as hath been before signified out of Epiphanius) and set them forth openly to be considered of and perused by all. But we weary the unlearned, who need not know so much, and trouble the learned, who know it already.
Yet before we end, we must answer a third cavil and objection of theirs against us, for altering and amending our translations so oft; wherein truly they deal hardly and strangely with us. For to whomever was it imputed for a fault (by such as were wise) to go over that which he had done, and to amend it where he saw cause? St. Augustine was not afraid to exhort St. Jerome to a palinodia or recantation, and doth even glory that he seeth his infirmities. If we be sons of the truth, we must consider what it speaketh, and trample upon our own credit, yea, and upon other men's too, if either be any way an hindrance to it. This to the cause. Then to the persons we say, that of all men they ought to be most silent in this case. For what varieties have they, and what alterations have they made, not only of their service books, portasses, and breviaries, but also of their Latin translation? The service book supposed to be made by St. Ambrose (Officium Ambrosianum) was a great while in special use and request, but Pope Hadrian calling a council with the aid of Charles the emperor, abolished it--yea, burned it--and commanded the service book of St. Gregory universally to be used. Well, Officium Gregorianum gets by this means to be in credit, but doth it continue without change or altering? No, the very Roman service was of two fashions, the "new" fashion, and the "old"--the one used in one church, the other in another--, as is to be seen in Pamelius, a Romanist, his preface before Micrologus. The same Pamelius reporteth out Radulphus de Rivo, that about the year of our Lord 1277, Pope Nicolas the Third removed out of the churches of Rome the more ancient books (of service), and brought into use the missals of the Friars Minorites, and commanded them to be observed there; insomuch that about an hundred years after, when the above-named Radulphus happened to be at Rome, he found all the books to be new (of the new stamp). Neither were there this chopping and changing in the more ancient times only, but also of late: Pius Quintus himself confesseth, that every bishopric almost had a peculiar kind of service, most unlike to that which others had; which moved him to abolish all other breviaries, though never so ancient, and privileged and published by bishops in their dioceses, and to establish and ratify that only which was of his own setting forth, in the year 1568. Now when the father of their church, who gladly would heal the sore of the daughter of his people softly and slightly and make the best of it, findeth so great fault with them for their odds and jarring, we hope the children have no great cause to vaunt of their uniformity. But the difference that appeareth between our translations, and our often correcting of them, is the thing that we are specially charged with; let us see therefore whether they themselves be without fault this way (if it be to be counted a fault, to correct), and whether they be fit men to throw stones at us. O tandem major parcas insane minori--"they that are less sound themselves, ought not to object infirmities to others". If we should tell them that Valla, Stapulensis, Erasmus, and Vives found fault with their vulgar translation, and consequently wished the same to be mended, or a new one to be made, they would answer peradventure, that we produced their enemies for witnesses against them; albeit, they were in no other sort enemies than as St. Paul was to the Galatians, for telling them the truth, and it were to be wished that they had dared to tell it them plainlier and oftener. But what will they say to this, that Pope Leo the Tenth allowed Erasmus' translation of the New Testament, so much different from the vulgar, by his apostolic letter and bull; that the same Leo exhorted Pagnin to translate the whole Bible, and bare whatsoever charges was necessary for the work? Surely, as the apostle reasoneth to the Hebrews, that "if the former law and testament had been sufficient, there had been no need of the latter", so we may say, that if the old vulgar had been at all points allowable, to small purpose had labour and charges been undergone, about framing of a new. If they say, it was one pope's private opinion, and that he consulted only himself, then we are able to go further with them, and to aver that more of their chief men of all sorts, even their own Trent champions Paiva and Vega, and their own inquisitors, Hieronymus ab Oleastro, and their own Bishop Isidorus Clarius, and their own Cardinal Thomas a Vio Caietan, do either make new translations themselves, or follow new ones of other men's making, or note the vulgar interpreter for halting; none of them fear to dissent from him, nor yet to except against him. And call they this an uniform tenor of text and judgment about the text, so many of their worthies disclaiming the now received conceit? Nay, we will yet come nearer the quick: doth not their Paris edition differ from the Lovaine, and Hentenius his from them both, and yet all of them allowed by authority? Nay, doth not Sixtus Quintus confess, that certain Catholics (he meaneth certain of his own side) were in such an humor of translating the Scriptures into Latin, that Satan taking occasion by them, though they thought of no such matter, did strive what he could, out of so uncertain and manifold a variety of translations, so to mingle all things that nothing might seem to be left certain and firm in them, etc.? Nay, further, did not the same Sixtus ordain by an inviolable decree, and that with the counsel and consent of his cardinals, that the Latin edition of the Old and New Testament, which the Council of Trent would have to be authentic, is the same without controversy which he then set forth, being diligently corrected and printed in the printing house of Vatican? Thus Sixtus in his preface before his Bible. And yet Clement the Eighth, his immediate successor, published another edition of the Bible, containing in it infinite differences from that of Sixtus (and many of them weighty and material), and yet this must be authentic by all means. What is to have the faith of our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with "yea and nay," if this be not? Again, what is sweet harmony and consent, if this be? Therefore, as Demaratus of Corinth advised a great king, before he talked of the dissensions among the Grecians, to compose his domestic broils (for at that time his queen and his son and heir were at deadly feud with him), so all the while that our adversaries do make so many and so various editions themselves, and do jar so much about the worth and authority of them, they can with no show of equity challenge us for changing and correcting.
The purpose of the translators with their number, furniture, care, etc.
But it is high time to leave them, and to show in brief what we proposed to ourselves, and what course we held in this our perusal and survey of the Bible. Truly, good Christian reader, we never thought from the beginning, that we should need to make a new translation, nor yet to make of a bad one a good one (for then the imputation of Sixtus had been true in some sort, that our people had been fed with gall of dragons instead of wine, with whey instead of milk); but to make a good one better, or out of many good ones, one principal good one, not justly to be excepted against. That hath been our endeavor, that our mark. To that purpose, there were many chosen that were greater in other men's eyes than in their own, and that sought the truth rather than their own praise. Again, they came or were thought to come to the work, not exercendi causa (as one saith) but exercitati, that is, "learned, not to learn." For the chief overseer and ergodiwkthV under his Majesty, to whom not only we, but also our whole church was much bound, knew by his wisdom, which thing also Nazianzen taught so long ago, that it is a preposterous order to teach first and to learn after, yea that to en piqw keramian manqanein, "to learn and practice together," is neither commendable for the workman, nor safe for the work. Therefore such were thought upon as could say modestly with St. Jerome, Et Hebreaeum sermonem ex parte didicimus, et in Latino pene ab ipsis incunabulis, etc., detriti sumus.--"Both we have learned the Hebrew tongue in part, and in the Latin we have been exercised almost from our very cradle." (St. Jerome maketh no mention of the Greek tongue, wherein yet he did excel, because he translated not the Old Testament out of Greek, but out of Hebrew.) And in what sort did these assemble? In the trust of their own knowledge, or of their sharpness of wit, or deepness of judgment, as it were in an arm of flesh? At no hand. They trusted in him that hath the key of David, opening and no man shutting; they prayed to the Lord, the Father of our Lord, to the effect that St. Augustine did: "O let thy Scriptures be my pure Scriptures be my pure delight; let me not be deceived in them, neither let me deceive by them". In this confidence and with this devotion did they assemble together; not too many, lest one should trouble another, and yet many, lest many things haply might escape them. If you ask what they had before them, truly it was the Hebrew text of the Old Testament, the Greek of the New. These are the two golden pipes, or rather conduits, wherethrough the olive branches empty themselves into the gold. St. Augustine calleth them precedent, or original tongues ; St. Jerome, fountains. The same St. Jerome affirmeth, and Gratian hath not spared to put it into his decree, that "as the credit of the old books (he meaneth of the Old Testament) is to be tried by the Hebrew volumes, so of the New by the Greek tongue (he meaneth by the original Greek). If truth be tried by these tongues, then whence should a translation be made, but out of them? These tongues therefore--the Scriptures, we say, in those tongues--we set before us to translate, being the tongues wherein God was pleased to speak to His church by His prophets and apostles. Neither did we run over the work with that posting haste that the Septuagint did, if that be true which is reported of them, that they finished it in seventy-two days ; neither were we barred or hindered from going over it again, having once done it, like St. Jerome--if that be true which himself reporteth, that he could no sooner write anything but presently it was caught from him and published, and he could not have leave to mend it --; neither, to be short, were we the first that fell in hand with translating the Scripture into English, and consequently destitute of former helps, as it is written of Origen, that he was the first in a manner that put his hand to write commentaries upon the Scriptures, and therefore no marvel, if he overshot himself many times. None of these things; the work hath not been huddled up in seventy-two days, but hath cost the workmen, as light as it seemeth, the pains of twice seven times seventy-two days and more. Matters of such weight and consequence are to be speeded with maturity, for in a business of moment a man feareth not the blame of convenient slackness. Neither did we think much to consult the translators or commentators, Chaldee, Hebrew, Syrian, Greek or Latin--no, nor the Spanish, French, Italian, or Dutch. Neither did we disdain to revise that which we had done, and to bring back to the anvil that which we had hammered: but having and using as great helps as were needful, and fearing no reproach for slowness, nor coveting praise for expedition, we have at length, through the good hand of the Lord upon us, brought the work to that pass that you see.
Reasons moving us to set diversity of senses in the margin, where there is great probability for each
Some peradventure would have no variety of senses to be set in the margin, lest the authority of the Scriptures for deciding of controversies by that show of uncertainty should somewhat be shaken. But we hold their judgment not to be so sound in this point. For though "whatsoever things are necessary are manifest," as St. Chrysostom saith, and as St. Augustine, "In those things that are plainly set down in the Scriptures, all such matters are found that concern faith, hope, and charity" ; yet for all that it cannot be dissembled, that partly to exercise and whet our wits, partly to wean the curious from the loathing of them for their everywhere plainness, partly also to stir up our devotion to crave the assistance of God's Spirit by prayer, and lastly, that we might be forward to seek aid of our brethren by conference, and never scorn those that be not in all respects so complete as they should be, being to seek in many things ourselves, it hath pleased God in His divine providence, here and there to scatter words and sentences of that difficulty and doubtfulness, not in doctrinal points that concern salvation (for in such it hath been vouched that the Scriptures are plain), but in matters of less moment, that fearfulness would better beseem us than confidence, and if we will resolve upon modesty with St. Augustine (though not in this same case altogether, yet upon the same ground), Melius est dubitare de occultis, quam litigare de incertis, --"it is better to make doubt of those things which are secret, than to strive about those things that are uncertain." There be many words in the Scriptures which be never found there but once (having neither brother nor neighbor, as the Hebrews speak), so that we cannot be holpen by conference of places. Again, there be many rare names of certain birds, beasts and precious stones, etc., concerning which the Hebrews themselves are so divided among themselves for judgment, that they may seem to have defined this or that rather because they would say something than because they were sure of that which they said, as St. Jerome somewhere saith of the Septuagint. Now in such a case, doth not a margin do well to admonish the reader to seek further, and not to conclude or dogmatize upon this or that peremptorily? For as it is a fault of incredulity, to doubt of those things that are evident, so to determine of such things as the Spirit of God hath left (even in the judgment of the judicious) questionable, can be no less than presumption. Therefore as St. Augustine saith, that variety of translations is profitable for the finding out of the sense of the Scriptures ; so diversity of signification and sense in the margin, where the text is not so clear, must needs do good--yea, is necessary, as we are persuaded. We know that Sixtus Quintus expressly forbiddeth that any variety of readings of their vulgar edition should be put in the margin --which though it be not altogether the same thing to that we have in hand, yet it looketh that way--, but we think he hath not all of his own side his favorers for this conceit. They that are wise had rather have their judgments at liberty in differences of readings, than to be captivated to one, when it may be the other. If they were sure that their high priest had all laws shut up in his breast, as Paul the Second bragged, and that he were as free from error by special privilege as the dictators of Rome were made by law inviolable, it were another matter; then his word were an oracle, his opinion a decision. But the eyes of the world are now open, God be thanked, and have been a great while. They find that he is subject to the same affections and infirmities that others be, that his skin is penetrable; and therefore so much as he proveth, not as much as he claimeth, they grant and embrace.
Reasons inducing us not to stand curiously upon an identity of phrasing
Another thing we think good to admonish thee of, gentle reader: that we have not tied ourselves to an uniformity of phrasing, or to an identity of words, as some peradventure would wish that we had done, because they observe that some learned men somewhere have been as exact as they could that way. Truly, that we might not vary from the sense of that which we had translated before, if the word signified the same thing in both places (for there be some words that be not of the same sense everywhere), we were especially careful, and made a conscience according to our duty. But that we should express the same notion in the same particular word, as for example, if we translate the Hebrew or Greek word once by purpose, never to call it intent; if one where journeying, never travelling; if one where think, never suppose; if one where pain, never ache; if one where joy, never gladness, etc--thus, to mince the matter, we thought to savor more of curiosity than wisdom, and that rather it would breed scorn in the atheist than bring profit to the godly reader. For is the kingdom of God become words or syllables? Why should we be in bondage to them if we may be free, use one precisely when we may use another no less fit, as commodiously? A godly Father in the Primitive time showed himself greatly moved, that one of newfangleness called krabbaton, "skimpouV", though the difference be little or none; and another reporteth that he was much abused for turning "cucurbita" (to which reading the people had been used) into "hedera". Now if this happen in better times, and upon so small occasions, we might justly fear hard censure, if generally we should make verbal and unnecessary changings. We might also be charged (by scoffers) with some unequal dealing towards a great number of good English words. For as it is written of a certain great philosopher, that he should say, that those logs were happy that were made images to be worshipped, for their fellows, as good as they, lay for blocks behind the fire; so if we should say, as it were, unto certain words, "Stand up higher; have a place in the Bible always," and to others of like quality, "Get ye hence; be banished forever," we might be taxed peradventure with St. James his words, namely, "To be partial in ourselves, and judges of evil thoughts." Add hereunto, that niceness in words was always counted the next step to trifling, and so was to be curious about names, too; also, that we cannot follow a better pattern for elocution than God Himself; therefore, He using divers words, in His holy writ, and indifferently for one thing in nature, we, if we will not be superstitious, may use the same liberty in our English versions out of Hebrew and Greek, for that copy or store that He hath given us. Lastly, we have on the one side avoided the scrupulosity of the Puritans, who leave the old ecclesiastical words and betake them to other, as when they put washing for baptism, and congregation instead of church; as also on the other side we have shunned the obscurity of the Papists, in their azimes, tunic, rational, holocausts, praepuce, pasche, and a number of such like, whereof their late translation is full--and that of purpose to darken the sense, that since they must needs translate the Bible, yet by the language thereof, it may be kept from being understood. But we desire that the Scripture may speak like itself, as in the language of Canaan, that it may be understood even of the very vulgar.
Many other things we might give thee warning of, gentle reader, if we had not exceeded the measure of a preface already. It remaineth that we commend thee to God, and to the Spirit of His grace, which is able to build further than we can ask or think. He removeth the scales from our eyes, the veil from our hearts, opening our wits that we may understand His word, enlarging our hearts; yea, correcting our affections, that we may love it to the end. Ye are brought unto fountains of living water which ye digged not; do not cast earth into them with the Philistines, neither prefer broken pits before them with the wicked Jews. Others have laboured, and you may enter into their labours. O receive not so great things in vain, O despise not so great salvation! Be not like swine to tread under foot so precious things, neither yet like dogs to tear and abuse holy things. Say not to our Saviour with the Gergesites, "Depart out of our coasts" ; neither yet with Esau sell your birthright for a mess of pottage. If light be come into the world, love not darkness more than light; if food, if clothing be offered, go not naked, starve not yourselves. Remember the advice of Nazianzene, "It is a grievous thing (or dangerous) to neglect a great fair, and to seek to make markets afterwards" ; also the encouragement of St. Chrysostom, "It is altogether impossible, that he that is sober (and watchful) should at any time be neglected" ; lastly, the admonition and menacing of St. Augustine, "They that despise God's will inviting them, shall feel God's will taking vengeance of them". It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God ; but a blessed thing it is, and will bring us to everlasting blessedness in the end, when God speaketh unto us, to hearken; when He setteth His word before us, to read it; when He stretcheth out His hand and calleth, to answer, "Here am I! here we are to do thy will, O God." The Lord work a care and conscience in us to know Him and serve Him, that we may be acknowledged of Him at the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ, to whom, with the Holy Ghost, be all praise and thanksgiving. Amen.

Great and manifold were the blessings, most dread Sovereign, which Almighty God, the Father of all mercies, bestowed upon us the people of England, when first he sent Your Majesty's Royal Person to rule and reign over us. For whereas it was the expectation of many who wished not well unto our Sion, that, upon the setting of that bright Occidental Star, Queen Elizabeth, of most happy memory, some thick and palpable clouds of darkness would so have overshadowed this land, that men should have been in doubt which way they were to walk, and that it should hardly be known who was to direct the unsettled State; the appearance of Your Majesty, as of the Sun in his strength, instantly dispelled those supposed and surmised mists, and gave unto all that were well affected exceeding cause of comfort; especially when we beheld the Government established in Your Highness and Your hopeful Seed, by an undoubted Title; and this also accompanied with peace and tranquility at home and abroad.
But among all our joys, there was no one that more filled our hearts than the blessed continuance of the preaching of God's sacred Word among us, which is that inestimable treasure which excelleth all the riches of earth; because the fruit thereof extendeth itself, not only to the time spent in this transitory world, but directeth and disposeth men unto that eternal happiness which is above in heaven.
Then not to suffer this to fall to the ground, but rather to take it up, and to continue it in that state wherein the famous Predecessor of Your Highness did leave it; nay, to go forward with the confidence and resolution of a man, in maintaining the truth of Christ, and propagating it far and near, is that which hath so bound and firmly knit the hearts of all Your Majesty's loyal and religious people unto You, that Your very name is precious among them: their eye doth behold You with comfort, and they bless You in their hearts, as that sanctified Person, who, under God, is the immediate author of their true happiness. And this their contentment doth not diminish or decay, but every day increaseth and taketh strength, when they observe that the zeal of Your Majesty toward the house of God doth not slack or go backward, but is more and more kindled, manifesting itself abroad in the farthest parts of Christendom, by writing in defence of the truth, (which hath given such a blow unto that Man of Sin as will not be healed,) and every day at home, by religious and learned discourse, by frequenting the house of God, by hearing the Word preached, by cherishing the teachers thereof, by caring for the Church, as a most tender and loving nursing father.
There are infinite arguments of this right Christian and religious affection in Your Majesty; but none is more forcible to declare it to others than the vehement and perpetuated desire of accomplishing and publishing of this work, which now, with all humility, we present unto Your Majesty. For when Your Highness had once out of deep judgment apprehended how convenient it was, that, out of the Original Sacred Tongues, together with comparing of the labours, both in our own and other foreign languages, of many worthy men who went before us, there should be one more exact translation of the Holy Scriptures into the English Tongue; Your Majesty did never desist to urge and to excite those to whom it was commended, that the Work might be hastened, and that the business might be expedited in so decent a manner, as a matter of such importance might justly require.
And now at last, by the mercy of God, and the continuance of our labours, it being brought unto such a conclusion, as that we have great hopes that the Church of England shall reap good fruit thereby, we hold it our duty to offer it to Your Majesty, not only as to our King and Sovereign, but as to the principal mover and author of the Work; humbly craving of your most Sacred Majesty, that, since things of this quality have ever been subject to the censures of ill-meaning and discontented persons, it may receive approbation and patronage from so learned and judicious a Prince as Your Highness is; whose allowance and acceptance of our labours shall more honour and encourage us than all the calumniations and hard interpretations of other men shall dismay us. So that if, on the one side, we shall be traduced by Popish persons at home or abroad, who therefore will malign us, because we are poor instruments to make God's holy truth to be yet more and more known unto the people, whom they desire still to keep in ignorance and darkness; or if, on the other side, we shall be maligned by self-conceited Brethren, who run their own ways, and give liking unto nothing but what is framed by themselves, and hammered on their anvil; we may rest secure, supported within by the truth and innocency of a good conscience, having walked the ways of simplicity and integrity as before the Lord, and sustained without by the powerful protection of Your Majesty's grace and favour, which will ever give countenance to honest and Christian endeavors against bitter censures and uncharitable imputations.
The Lord of heaven and earth bless Your Majesty with many and happy days; that, as his heavenly hand hath enriched Your Highness with many singular and extraordinary graces, so You may be the wonder of the world in this latter age for happiness and true felicity, to the honour of that great GOD, and the good of his Church, through Jesus Christ our Lord and only Saviour.

Concert notes: Choi Jin at SOAS
by Philip Gowman posted 24 Nov 2007 31 May 2020 updated 31 May 2020
Concerts at SOAS always seem to have a good turn-out. Monday (19 November) was no exception when Choi Jin and colleagues presented a programme of modern compositions and arrangements of music for traditional Korean instruments. Keith Howard provided some informative introductions to the music to be performed, which provided useful context as well as some breathing space for Choi to slip into a different hanbok.
Professor Choi, who teaches at both Ewha Women’s University and Chung-ang University, started with Hwang Byung-ki’s Chimhyangmu for 12-string kayagum (top), probably the best-known modern composition for the instrument. It appears in the soundtrack to Dan Gordon’s documentary on the North Korean mass games (A State of Mind), and had two public performances in London last year. Less familiar was Choi’s second piece, Five-string Zither with Two Pitches by Lee Sung Chon. Choi arrived on stage with a 12-string kayagum, then ostentatiously removed the bridge from seven of the strings, almost playing to the audience as to which string she was going to decommission next (above). Despite the somewhat unpromising title, and the warning from both Keith Howard and the programme notes as to the complexity of the work and its controversial nature, the piece was highly approachable.
Choi Jin plays Yanggeum
Ko Seung Hwan plays Daegeum
The third item on the programme, Sanhaeng by Kim Young Dong, introduced the daegeum flute (right), the yanggeum dulcimer (played by Choi – left) accompanied by 25-string kayageum. With the kayageum providing support almost like an alberti bass the melody was provided by the two other instruments. A very simple-sounding piece, and after what had come before it sounded rather lightweight. That could not be said of the next item on the programme, the arranged extract from the story of Chunhyang. For this Choi showed her versatility by singing pansori-style while providing kayagum accompaniment, while a dancer interpreted part of the story. Projected onto the back of the stage were scenes from Im Kwon-taek’s film (unfortunately squashed into a 4×3 aspect ratio, meaning that the characters were made tall and thin). Strangely, the projection showed edited highlights of the whole film rather than just the scene which was being performed on stage.
The final piece on the programme provided the opportunities for all of the kayagum players to perform together. In an arrangement by Choi Ji Hye of a Choi Ok Sam style sanjo, Choi (on a traditional 12-string instrument) was supported by a quartet of 25-string instruments and changgo. The audience almost audibly breathed contentment at the harp-like opening. The accompaniment was extremely precisely coordinated, both by invisible communication between the players and by the occasional grunt of encouragement (chuimsae – 추임새) from the changgo player (below). This piece was warmly welcomed by the audience as it made the sometimes austere and impenetrable sanjo art-form readily accessible.
As an encore, all the performers reunited on stage for some well received folk songs (including the ubiquitous Arirang), and at the exit the CDs for sale went like hot cakes.

I wish I could’ve been there! I got her Blade of Grass album from YesAsia’s sale last year and was very impressed with the beautiful sound throughout the album. She played a 17-string kayagum on that album though, but I imagine she can work a 12-string kayagum just as well. With all the extra people and visual stimuli it must’ve been a very nice performance ^^

Maryknoll missioners around the world feel the impact of social injustice and see its effects in the communities were they live and work. Flowing from their ministries of presence and accompaniment, as well as from the concrete programs and projects in which Maryknollers participate, we engage in the hard work of identifying root causes of social and economic injustice. With a particular focus on the geographical regions where Maryknoll is present, as well as on structural or systemic injustice affecting women, children, indigenous peoples, migrants and refugees and people with HIV and AIDS, we join with others of like mind to identify potential pathways to social transformation and to move our world in that direction.

The Philippines presently has about a hundred of combined indigenous and acquired Bamboo species as of 2016, due to the effort of Ecosystems Research and Development Bureau (ERDB) projects in introducing different varieties into our tropical paradise.
China, EU, Indonesia and Vietnam are the top 4 Bamboo exporters of 2015. Our country ranks fifth. But the world’s demand for this versatile material has grown exponentially ever since the introduction of the German-Chinese Bamboo Pavilion in Expo 2010 Shanghai and the Green School in Bali. This towering grass has become the sustainable and renewable steel of the future, and the carbon-fighting solution to the world’s emissions. A tall order for this giant grass but it has more than enough spunk to merit its titles.
This fast growing grass converts more of the harmful Carbon Dioxide gas to the life-giving Oxygen than a tree—by 35%. Ecologists, scientists and researchers have tagged Bamboo and Rattan as the evergreen duos that can serve as carbon sinks and forest rehabilitators. Planted along water courses, Bamboos can prevent soil from erosion. Bamboo, being hollow, is strong yet lightweight, highly abundant and cheap making it the best material in the post-modern green architecture. There are as many as 1,500 ways to use Bamboo…and counting. The Forest Product Research and Development Institute (FPRDI) of DOST have been working together with ERDB in churning out prototypes for countless Bamboo applications. (All images below have been provided by FPRDI)
Every species of the Bamboo has its own story. Each having a different application. The most widely cultivated species in the Philippines, kauayan-tinik (Bambusa blumeana) has long been used by our ancestors in the construction of native architecture but this drought-resistant Bamboo is also popular for its smooth, clean finish as laminated surfaces for tables, chairs, and floorings. The best species for construction is the Guadua angustifolia, found primarily in South America. It has a tensile strength of up to 40kN/cm2. The hardiest wood fiber can stand up to 5kN/cm2, while steel can withstand up to 37kN/cm2. Fortunately, although not indigenous to the Philippines, there have been a few who have begun to propagate this species. The most prominent in our country is the Giant Bamboo (Dendrocalamus asper). True to its name, this grass giant reach up to 20-30 meters tall with a wall thickness of 11-20 mm and can grow as far up as 100 cm in a day when the conditions are right.
No longer called the poor man’s timber, Bamboo plantations have become the ultimate industry of the 21st century. And Bamboo can take its place as the builder of the future.

Book offers historic perspective on the press
Posted by Thomas Mitchell | Jun 20, 2019 | Opinion | 0 |
The premise of conservative commentator Mark Levin’s new book, “Unfreedom of the Press,” is that modern journalism has devolved into an opinionated, group-think pack of politically partisan propagandists who oppose President Trump at every turn and think he is a danger to freedom of the press.
While we don’t think that conclusion is totally valid, the book does offer a worthy historic perspective on the behaviors of the press and our presidents.
Levin notes that for more than a century the American press was unabashedly partisan, often surviving on printing contracts from the party in power when the newspapers were able to put them there. He seems to accept the notion that sometime early in the 19th Century journalists altruistically embraced the concept of objectivity.
Actually the conversion was mostly profit-motivated. It was borne of the penny press.
The newspaper business model changed from being dependent on government printing contracts and political party handouts to one of being supported by advertisers, whose customers paid the same for a pair of shoes no matter which party they embraced. So why alienate half of your potential customers with partisanship? The newspaper that delivered the highest readership fetched the highest advertising dollar.
Levin’s book does point out correctly that Trump’s often repeated and tweeted animus for the press is benign compared to past presidents.
With the ink still damp on the First Amendment President John Adams pushed through the Federal Congress a series of Alien and Sedition Acts in 1798. These acts made it a crime to “write, print, utter or publish … any false, scandalous and malicious writing or writings against the government of the United States, or either house of the Congress of the United States, or the President of the United States, with intent to defame the said government, or either house of the said Congress, or the said President, or to bring them, or either of them, into contempt or disrepute …” The penalty was a fine or imprisonment for up to two years.
Under those laws more than 20 Republican newspaper editors were arrested and some were imprisoned. Among those was newspaperman James Callender who called Adams a “hideous hermaphroditical character, which has neither the force of a man, nor the gentleness and sensibility of a woman.” These details are not in the book, by the way.
Levin notes Abraham Lincoln enforced censorship during the Civil War and jailed several reporters, editors and publishers.
President Wilson used the Espionage Act of 1917 to jail pamphleteers and to deny mailing permits to anti-war newspapers.
Levin further notes the left’s beloved President Franklin Roosevelt used an iron-hand to control the media and even grabbed private telegrams of publishers.
Further, he notes that President Obama, another liberal heart-throb, secretly subpoenaed records of 20 Associated Press telephone lines, spied on Fox News reporter James Rosen and subpoenaed New York Times reporter James Risen, demanding he testify about his sources.
So far, Trump hasn’t done any of those things, but Levin concludes he is seen by the press as a major threat.
Levin includes a lengthy outtake from a February 2019 article by New York Times Publisher Arthur Sulzberger who took umbrage with Trump calling his newspaper “the enemy of the people” and arguing that is not only false but dangerous. “It has an ugly history of being wielded by dictators and tyrants who sought to control public information,” the publisher countered.
To which Levin replies, “As discussed earlier, unlike certain of the president’s predecessors, Trump has taken no official governmental steps to silence news organizations or journalists. Although Sulzberger mentioned Jefferson, Kennedy, and Reagan as defenders of the press despite their complaints about it, a group in which Trump should actually be included for these purposes, Sulzberger omits that Adams, Lincoln, Wilson, FDR, and Obama did, in fact, use the power of the federal government against news outlets and journalists with whom they disagreed. Sulzberger’s rhetoric about Trump is dishonest and a deflection from his own failure as a newspaper publisher.”
Though the book is too often a hash of overly long quotes from historians and others and has an overly jaundiced conclusion, it offers a perspective to which few outside the journalism profession have been exposed.
Frankly, there should be tension between the press and government.

100 Years of Industrial Metrology
May 24, 2019 May 24, 2019 Keith Mills Publishing Editor
ZEISS measuring technology has stood for quality assurance for 100 years: now, more attention is being paid to increasing customers’ productivity than ever before. “We are proud to celebrate 100 years of ZEISS measuring technology. Yet 100 years are just the beginning because our goal today and in the future is to be a driving force by offering solutions for the most demanding quality assurance jobs,” says Dr. Jochen Peter, Member of the Executive Board of the ZEISS Group and Head of the Research and Quality Technology segment. This includes seamless connectivity between measuring technology machine parks located throughout the world, application-oriented quality assurance solutions for production and the need for versatile quality assurance technologies from a single source. “We are also marking this important anniversary because our past has laid the foundation for a successful future,” says Peter.
ZEISS Optimeter from 1920 was probably the first integration of optics into precision mechanics.
ZEISS first presented measuring instruments at the Spring Trade Show in Leipzig back in 1919. This was the beginning of a success story that continued in 1926 when ZEISS launched a true technological innovation: the first universal measuring microscope. For the first time, the device enabled the user to assess all five parameters of a thread without reclamping. In the 1970s, ZEISS achieved another technological breakthrough: the rollout of a universal measuring machine (ZEISS UMM 500) with a measuring probe, integrated desktop computer from HP and the company’s own measuring software, UMESS. Since being renamed Industrielle Messtechnik (Industrial Measuring Technology) in 1977, the company has continued to increase its competitive edge when it comes to precision.
Today, ZEISS is a global market leader in the area of CNC coordinate measuring machines and draws on its decades of experience to offer a range of measuring machines, software and accessories. ZEISS’ aim is to increase its customers’ productivity in the quality lab and beyond through its networked portfolio of hardware, software and digital industrial quality solutions.
“We would like to thank our customers for their trust and loyalty over the past 100 years and are looking forward to increasing their productivity in the future as well,” says Peter.
Customer experiences from 2019 are being collected in honor of the “100 Years of ZEISS Industrial Metrology“ anniversary.

Firefighter Injured While Battling Brush Fire In SW Miami-Dade
Filed Under:Brush Fire, Firefighter Injured, Florida, Miami-Dade, Oralia Ortega
MIAMI (CBSMiami) — A 12-year veteran with Miami-Dade Fire Rescue was rushed to Ryder Trauma Center after what’s being called a “freak accident” while battling a brush fire in Southwest Miami-Dade.
Miami-Dade Fire Rescue said firefighters were called out shortly after 4:00 p.m. to reports of a brush fire near the Homestead Air Reserve Base off SW 132nd Avenue and 288th Street.
“During the operation, one of the firefighters was struck by a tree, was knocked unconscious. The crews on site pulled him out,” said Miami-Dade Fire Rescue Lt. Felipe Lay.
Chopper4 was over the scene as more than a dozen firefighters continued battling the brush fire while the injured firefighter was airlifted to the hospital for treatment.
Not long after his arrival, firefighters began arriving to check in on him.
“Just as you can imagine, in a lot of pain, not really talking much,” said Metro-Dade Firefighters Union Local 1403 President Omar Blanco.
Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos Gimenez also visited the firefighter and said the incident shows the danger firefighters face on every call.
“I’ve been in the fire service actively for 40 years, 25 actually in it, and I’ve never heard of that happening here in Dade County,” said Gimenez.
Miami-Dade Fire Rescue said the firefighter was first transported in serious condition, but Wednesday evening his condition improved to fair.

Gala in Gladbach: three takeaways from Borussia Mönchengladbach v FC Bayern
Earlier in the season, FC Bayern München were thumped 3:0 at home by bogey side Borussia Mönchengladbach. Until recently, Die Fohlen had nine wins from nine matches at home. Cue a gala display from the Bavarians in what was arguably their best showing of the season so far.
Rick March 2, 2019
1. Another shout out for Javi
2. Merciless
3. Back on terms at the top
Niko Kovac
Following Borussia Dortmund’s shock defeat in Augsburg, it means that Bayern are now level on points with the early season leaders. Not that long ago, the gap was as large as nine points.
This was an immense team performance, with every man playing his part. Robert Lewandowski was arguably the pick of the bunch, but once again I will offer a shout out for Javi Martínez.
The big Spaniard was again outstanding, always in the thick of things as Gladbach’s talented midfield were closed right down and left with little breathing space. Javi was a rock against Liverpool and scored the crucial winner against Hertha BSC, and again was on the mark after just two minutes to give Niko Kovač’s men the perfect start.
This is vintage Martínez, and if he can maintain this form there will surely be many more good times to come. It has been one hell of a renaissance.
The one thing that has largely been missing from Bayern’s game this season has been their legendary mercilessness. That willingness not just to put their opponents away, but to crush them completely. Today, we saw some of that old school relentlessness.
On another day, Die Roten could have scored a dozen. Chances came aplenty, and were it not for Gladbach keeper Yann Sommer, it would have been considerably worse for the home side. Sommer was something of a nemesis for Robert Lewandowski in particular, pulling off a succession of excellent saves to deny the Polish striker.
Perhaps it was the thought of the earlier defeat at the Allianz, and a desire to put Gladbach back in their place. To destroy them for their temerity, for daring to come to Munich and walk away with all three points so easily. Either way, this was the FC Bayern München we have wanted to see for a long time.
Not that long ago, Borussia Dortmund were nine points clear at the top. Critics were hailing the Westphalians as the champions elect, and dismissing any hope of a Bavarian fightback. As the season turns into the final straight, everything is back in the balance.
The fuss being made about Dortmund coach Lucien Favre has calmed down. Talk of BVB’s Spanish striker Paco Alcácer challenging Lewy for the Torjägerkanone has similarly been muted. On the Bavarian side of the fence, those who had been so quick to lay into Niko Kovač have gone mysteriously silent.
The job has not been done yet. In fact, it is just beginning. Bayern are back on terms with their yellow rivals, and the next step is to press on and pass them at the top. The meeting between the two teams at the Allianz Arena at the beginning of next month is set to be an epic – though I will still stop short of describing the fixture as Der Klassiker.
Of course, if both teams continue on their recent trajectories, a win for Bayern could well seal the title. But let us not get too far ahead of ourselves. There are still ten matches to play.

Art / Music / Popular Culture / Thoughts
Badasses
by Michael Konik · Published April 12, 2009 · Updated March 6, 2012
News has reached these benighted shores that Rolling Stone, a magazine that earned its former journalistic reputation for its solemn coverage of a once-relevant musical genre known variously as rock & roll, rock, adult-oriented rock, alternative rock, and dinosaur rock, hath declared that, in their view, the greatest singer in the history of popular music is Aretha Franklin.
The choice, which is included in one of those fatuous and ultimately disposable lists one normally finds in golf magazines (“The Top 100 Courses You’ll Never Play!”) and travel porn (“The World’s Most Luxuriously Decorated Islands”), should be popular among those who still read the magazine. Franklin’s late-career screaming ululations have been successfully marketed as “soul,” and the highly ornamented melisma she injects into every other syllable has become the preferred performance gimmick for countless televised singing contestants. Like Bob Dylan, a gifted writer whose commercial and critical success in the 1960s and 70s unintentionally granted tacit permission to people who, like him, can’t sing in tune (Randy Newman, Elvis Costello) to become singers, Franklin’s stardom has given millions of teenaged girls in the church choir the mistaken idea that if you can shout up to a high-E above C you might as well record the results, no matter how absurd the yelling or wobbly the vibrato.
If we have the audacity, wrongheadedness, and poor taste to suggest that the alleged Queen of Soul is unworthy of occupying the throne, then, one might reasonably wonder, who is?
We make it a policy not to get involved in ranking lists of these sorts, since, basically, they’re useless, self-congratulatory exercises in self-congratulation. Is Pine Valley really a “better” golf course than Cypress Point? Was Babe Ruth a finer hitter than Ted Williams? Does it matter?
We do, however, know what we like, just as everyone does and ought to. And what we like are badasses. Meaning: folks who are a category unto themselves, rare souls whose talent and virtuosity cannot be replicated, only imitated, and never satisfactorily. Badasses come in several categories, but each share a common trait: to be any type of badass, you’ve basically got to be a badass.
People Generally Known To Be Badasses
Stevie Wonder. Tiger Woods. Christian McBride. Lewis Lapham. Wynton Marsalis. LeBron James. Cecilia Bartoli. Keith Jarrett. Hiromi. Bobby McFerrin.
People Who, For a Variety of Reasons, Don’t Get Proper Recognition of Their Badassness
John Pizzarelli. Every member of the Tierney Sutton Band. Adam Gopnik. Miguel Zenon. Hendrik Hertzberg. Rhiannon. Tom “Durrr” Dwan.
People Who Have a Chance to Eventually Have Their Badassness Recognized by People Other Than the Author
Tigran Hamasayan. Abe Lagrimas. Jon Irabagon. Nedra Wheeler. Kai Kurowsawa.
Being a badass doesn’t guarantee you fame and fortune (although it doesn’t hurt). It only ensures that you are and forever will be a badass. And that might be the loveliest honorific one ever gets.

Your Mind vs. Your Brain: Ten Things To Know
Although we are only beginning to understand the workings of the brain, it clearly isn't the same thing as the mind
Here are some reasons why they aren’t really the same: 1.Is the human brain unique in some way? Yes, but not so much in its structure as in the things we do with it. For example, the human, mouse, and fly brains all use the same basic mechanisms, which is a bit of a puzzle, considering the different things we do with our brains. The human brain is bigger than most. But then lemurs performed as well as chimps on the primate cognitive test battery (a primate intelligence test) and lemurs only have brains that are 1/200th the size of chimps’ brains. So, what we humans are doing differently from lemurs and chimps doesn’t depend wholly on brain size either.…

Raise Your Hand If You’ve Visited Cavell Park
Filed under: Minneapolis parks | Tags: Cavell Park, Robert Ruhe |
Cavell Park is one of the marvelous neighborhood parks that make Minneapolis so livable, but I would bet that few Minneapolitans know where it is or have seen it. I thought I should promote it a bit before I leave the topic of Minneapolis parks and WWI completely. The only connection in this case is the name of the park, because it didn’t become a park until 1968.
British nurse Edith Cavell was executed by the German army in 1915 for treason. (Wikipedia)
Edith Cavell was a British nurse running a hospital in Belgium at the outbreak of World War I. When the German army invaded Belgium, Ms. Cavell helped British, French and Belgian soldiers escape capture and reach safety in the Netherlands. As a nurse, she treated Allied and German soldiers, but her aid to escaping Allied soldiers led to her arrest and a charge of treason by the German army. She was held in prison for ten weeks as her case aroused outrage and indignation around the world. It did little good: she was executed by a German firing squad. Cavell— her name rhymed with travel—became a central focus of British propaganda efforts and, together with the German sinking of the passenger ship Lusitania, was used to depict the depravity of Germans, the barbarous “Huns” of an earlier article.
Edith Cavell School at 3425 Fillmore in 1948.
With the start of the 1918 school year, at the height of the Great War, the Minneapolis school board was faced with overcrowding at Thomas Lowry School in northeast Minneapolis. The solution was to build two temporary portable school houses in the district. In December 1918, less than a month after fighting in Europe ended, the school board suggested that what had been referred to as the Thomas Lowry Annex, be named for Cavell.
Edith Cavell School was a portable school building originally at Tyler and 35th Avenue NE. The portable school was closed in 1933 and a new, modest school was built three blocks east at 34th and Fillmore. That school, pictured above, closed in 1949. (See more photos on the history pages of the Minneapolis public schools website here.)
The park board had considered acquiring the site for a playground park in 1949, but in light of a 1948 cooperative agreement between the park board and school board to develop property together, the two boards opted to build a new school and park four blocks further east instead. That development became Waite Park and School.
The school board continued to own the Edith Cavell School site until 1968, when the park board acquired it for a new neighborhood park. It was the first of four former school sites acquired by the park board from 1968 to 1976. The park board also acquired the old school sites of Margaret Fuller School (now Fuller Park), Lyndale School (Painter Park), and Corcoran School (Corcoran Park), all during the controversial tenure of Robert Ruhe as superintendent of Minneapolis parks. A recreation shelter was built in the park in 1977. (I hope to write a good deal more about Ruhe. His style was abrasive, but his accomplishments were undeniable.)
Sledding at Cavell School about 1935. (Minnesota Historical Society)
For those of you who live in south or north Minneapolis and rarely venture across the river, I’d suggest a drive, hike or bike ride into northeast to visit Cavell Park. Audubon and Windom parks are worth visits too. They are all quite different from the mostly flat parks of south and north Minneapolis. If you are considering a bike ride, I’d recommend it only if you are a fairly strong rider because the hills of northeast could be difficult for some. The highest elevation in the city of Minneapolis is near Waite Park, so you’ll enjoy a good climb from the river.
Do you have a story about Cavell Park — or any of the great northeast neighborhood parks? We’d love to hear it as a coment on tis page. If you have photos, let me know; e’d love to see them.

Thanks, Bob. Great to hear from a native of Vancounver. A quick check of Wikipedia reveals that many more places were named for Cavell in Canada than in the U.S. Also learned that many French girls were named Edith in the months after her execution including, most famously, “The Sparrow”, Edith Piaf, who was born two months after Cavell was killed.

My uncle came to the school and had a long overcoat that he had me walk with him home (inside the coat). You couldn’t hardly see very far in front of you. No doubt he had come home from work, because of it. My father died in WW2 and my aunt and uncle lived with us.
We lived on Fillmore street in the next block north. I remember Mrs Totino too. Later she became friends with my mother.
While Waite Park School was being built all the students were bused to another school. Faintly I remember it was Schiller School? In lower NE Mpls as I remember it being said?
I attended Waite Park school in 5th and 6th grades. My goodness what memories!
Another story: My husband after that huge wind storm was home from school for 2 weeks he said. The whole family was out with farm wagons picking up field corn that were on the ground. His family farmed in SW MN.

Great stories, Carolyn. Thanks! Later today or tomorrow I’ll post a few photos sent by another student from Cavell School.

I played flag football there in the 70’s and we hung out there quite a bit. I remember needing funds to play and Rose Totino came through with a sponsorship for us! So kind and community focused!

Great memory, Beth. Thanks.

Growing up in south Minneapolis, I don’t have any connection to Cavell, other than attending a “temporary” wooden school building from 1954 to 1958 that looked just like Cavell. The school was established in the 1920s and named after WW1 Ambassador Walter Hines Page. The wooden building was torn down in 1958 and a new two story brick Page School was opened that fall at 52nd St. and 3rd Ave. It’s interesting to note that 25 years later, Page was closed and torn down because it wasn’t needed anymore and the site was converted to housing. The temporary wooden building lasted longer than the brick school.

Great story, Tom, thanks. I wonder how many of those portable buildings were erected — and how many portables still stand. What a great site that was a for a school, near Minnehaha Creek.
Curious about Page School, I just looked it up at http://mpshistory.mpls.k12.mn.us/Page.html and found some great photos of the older and the newer schools.
Only one thing remains from Page School: part of the land at the Hiawatha School Playground, a public park, at East 43rd Street and 44th Avenue South! In 1931 the park board traded some land with the school board. The park board gave up a bit of land between Page School and Minnehaha Creek and a bit of land it owned next to Hamilton School along Victory Memorial Drive in exchange for school board land adjacent to Hiawatha School. I presume the land at Page and Hamilton schools was used to expand playgrounds, too.

i’ve been pronouncing the name wrong forever!
Haven’t we all, which is why I wrote only that her name rhymed with “travel.” I suspect that popular usage makes the name of the park ca-VELL. BY the way, the other names under consideration for the school according to the Minneapolis Tribune in December 1918 were much more mundane: William Windom, Alexander Ramsey and Thomas Jefferson. Thanks for reading.

How Alexus Garcia Started Doing Hair + Her Favorite Cut and Color
Alexus Garcia
Mix 104.3's Local Love is all about Alexus Garcia from Posh Salon in downtown Grand Junction. This is how she started doing hair and her favorite cut and color.
Alexus originally went to school for nursing, but it was taking a toll on her emotional state. She had a change of heart, but still wanted to take care of people, just in a different way.
Alexus was always the girl who did everyone's hair and makeup in school which made her think about being a stylist. She wanted to be creative, artistic, and take care of people, and being a stylist means she gets to do all of that.
She toured Aveda Institute in Denver in 2015 and loved it and three months later she moved there to go to school. Alexus stressed the importance of her education, she says that it was very intense, but it made her feel prepared for the next step.
Alexus had lots of opportunities at Aveda Institute, she even won the Beacon award and got to go to a major hair show in Las Vegas and network and meet some big hair celebrities. Alexus made her way back to Grand Junction after she got pregnant with her daughter Ava, who's now 2-years-old because she knew it was the right decision for her family.
Mix 104.3's Local Love: Keallan Dowells From Mesa Fitness
Alexus knew that she wanted to work with Erika at Posh Salon because she was her first manager when Alexus was 15-years-old. She really liked the way she managed, so she contacted her and got the job at Posh Salon.
She been working there for about three years now and absolutely loves it. Alexus says that Erika has helped her grow and that she believes in and is devoted to the brands, the mission and is in it for the long run.
Alexus Garcia from Posh Salon says her favorite haircut/hairstyle is a sleek bob, while her favorite color is anything to do with balayage. She says that dimensional blondes are her thing.
Alexus recently got married and is expecting another baby and says there's a lot of major life changes happening for her but it's all good stuff.

Is the Apple Watch a Flop?
by Developer.com Staff
Sales of the wearable device are lackluster, but customer satisfaction is high.
Analyst firm Canalys says that Apple shipped around 4.2 million Apple Watches during the second quarter. Other analysts have similar projections: they believe the company shipped between 2.85 million and 5.7 million of the devices. That is much better than any other smartwatch did, but it falls far short of the numbers Apple would need to hit the 30 million in yearly sales that some analysts forecasted before the device's release.
Over the weekend, The New York Times speculated that the Apple Watch wasn't doing as well as expected because major mobile development firms hadn't yet released apps for the device. It pointed to the lack of apps by Facebook, Snapchat and Google as proof of its point.
On the other hand, other reports have found that 97 percent of Apple Watch buyers are satisfied with their purchases.
Apple will report its quarterly earnings on Tuesday and may release more information about Apple Watch sales then.

October: ये ज़िंदगी उसी की है जो किसी का हो गया
Posted: April 15, 2018 by moifightclub in cinema, film review, Movie Recco, movie reviews
Tags: banita sandhu, film reviews, Juhi Chaturvedi, October, reviews, shoojit sarcar, Varun dhawan
<It’s better that you go see it first and then come back and read it.>
Hospitals are usually extremely humbling places. I have been to some, quite a few times and every single time I have felt the fragility of life from up close. Hotels, on the other hand, are the exact opposite. Specially 5 star ones. October expertly navigates these two spaces. One filled with arrogance, opulence, mirth and joy and the other full of weirdly calming sounds of ventilators, ECGs and the constant humming of the ceiling tube-lights.
During the 1st year of our Engineering college annual fest, two of the hostel-mates went drunk-biking and drove into a divider. The luckier one survived with a fractured arm, while the other, who was riding pillion, a good looking 6 feet+ Delhi boy ended up with a cracked skull in a hospital. All of us went to see him. He lay on the bed unconscious, his head wrapped in white, blood splotched cotton bandages and his face bruised tender on one side. He was critical. He had to drop out because he wasn’t the same guy after surgery. He was hospitalized for a long time, lost most of his memory and went home to recover. We all forgot about it and went about our lives as usual. I remember it vividly because it was my first visit to the ICU and it was a surreal experience for an 18 year old me.
I saw the guy 2 years after that. He came back to re-enroll in 1st year. His father was holding his hand while walking him around the administrative buildings. He was limping with the help of a cane. His speech was slurred. Some of the guys went to say Hi, but he didn’t recognize them.
I remember seeing him like that and feeling strangely emotional. My eyes welled up a little. I had played cricket/volleyball with the guy. He was a proper hunk and to see him as a hollow shell of his former self made me sad.
I hadn’t thought of him since that day, until yesterday. October made me think of him. I was one of the side characters in his life like one of the many friends of Shiuli who visited her a few times in the hospital and then slowly moved on.
One of her friends, Dan, didn’t. He stuck around. Why? October doesn’t have a straightforward answer for you. As a film, it’s more interested in observing the glacial pace of life and healing and human bonds that form by accident but last a lifetime.
You hang on to something, only God knows for what reason. You find a purpose in it? Sukoon? It makes you feel good about yourself? Or you’re just delusional and making up shit that isn’t there. Maybe you are overcompensating for the lack of anything else meaningful in your life? ‘Dhun’, ‘Lagan’, ‘Deewanagi’, ‘Obsession’, call it whatever. You grab on to it tightly and hold it close to your chest, and you don’t pay attention to anything that tells you to do otherwise.
“Job hai, family hai. Sab kuch chhod chaad ke thodi baith sakte hai. Practical hona padta hai yaar.”
But Dan’s practical is different. His practical tells him to let go of sanity and embrace this cause because her last sentence was a question about him. “Ae, Where is Dan?”, said absolutely casually, with no hidden meaning or feelings. A totally casual inquiry that just happened to be the last thing she said before she met a life altering tragedy. But he somehow makes it his crucible to carry.
That kind of inexplicable madness is of course what drives artists, explorers, scientists, and people who really really give a fuck about what they do. But sometimes ordinary people like Danish Waliya fall prey to it. There is nothing to be achieved here, in materialistic terms. It’s not even spiritual per se. It just is. It took the controls from him when he wasn’t looking and now he can’t go back. He loses appetite, sleep, friends, routine and even a career. For a person he barely knew. But this cause has become his life’s mission. It’s a beautiful mess.
He isn’t her boyfriend. Not even one of the close friends. They were Hotel Management trainees at Radisson, Dwarka and sometimes worked the same room or hung out at the roof where Dan brought everyone stolen booze coz he’s an irritable class clown but also a sweetheart. He’s annoying & temperamental but also capable of befuddling kindness. He don’t suffer fools or snobs. So you know, life’s difficult for him.
Thankfully, October surrounds him with nice people whose own kindness allows them to see through his annoyance. Friends are so important.
“She can’t survive. It’s highly unlikely. We should pull the plug. It’s too costly to keep her alive.”
He hears everything and he doesn’t get angry. There is no melodrama, emotional outburst, or an impassioned speech against euthanasia. The dexterity with which this film tiptoes around cliches is mesmerizing.
“She is just 21. I think she would have wanted to live.”
This is enough. Enough for her mother to clutch on and keep fighting for her barely conscious girl. He becomes a part of their life so effortlessly. The doctors, nurses, staff, Shiuli’s family, they all accept this stranger, with obvious initial reluctance. He finds a sort of relevance that we all crave for, in a place where hope springs eternal.
A friend of mine once told me that “Helping someone is inherently a very selfish act.” and I have found myself agreeing with it most of the times. The sleight of October is that it is skillfully oblivious of this selfishness, and so is Dan which is what makes him such an endearing character. Someone you would want to hug every time you see him. Varun Dhawan brings his A game here, not as a star, but as an actor.
Dan’s mother, in a beautiful scene between her and Shiuli’s mother Vidya, talks about the fear of losing ones kids once they grow up, hinting at Dan who hasn’t visited her even once in 10 months.
“Dan has been a pillar.”, Vidya (a perfectly cast Gitanjali Rao, an award winning animator and storyteller herself) informs her.
Dan was busy being the son of a single mother whose daughter may or may not have cared about him.
Vidya abruptly leaves the room and the camera linger a second too long on Dan’s mother and Shiuli as the scene changes.
This restrain in the writing and thoughtfulness in frames is magical and so unconventional for a Bollywood film (only ‘Court’ comes to mind), all thanks to the sensibilities of its writer Juhi Chaturvedi, who has matured into such a confident screenwriter over this trilogy of sorts of ‘Delhi Films’ (Vicky Donor, Piku). It also reminded me of this brilliant animated short Death of a Father, perhaps because a major chunk of it is set inside a hospital and it also refuses its audience a catharsis.
Delhi winter, with all its fog and smog and pollution, makes for a beautiful backdrop to this film that finds warmth in abundance in everyday moments. Be it a conversation between Dan and the Nurse (“Gift leke aana aap”), or between Dan and her friend who gives him 2500 rs for petrol (“Kitne chahiye? ” “Bas tank full ho jaaye.”) or when Shiuli’s siblings make fun of him or when he is the only one who remembers to get a wood-plank installed at the doorsteps because Shiuli will be on wheelchair when she comes back home (“Iske neeche baad me na cement lagwa denge“). It’s choke-full of such tender moments and just when you think that you can hold the water in your eyes, the exceptionally contained background score kicks in. This just might be Shantanu Moitra’s life’s best work, at par with this beautiful Leftovers theme that never fails to move me.
There is so much filth around us for the past week that I had kinda started giving up on humanity. Cynicism and bitterness are a constant when you are scrolling through your twitter/FB feed and seeing people spew hatred and garbage towards each other. In such a time, October was like a soul cleanse I so badly needed. You do too. Go for it, you will come out a better person, I promise you.

Aritreyee says:
I haven’t watched the film as yet. But your article is so beautifully written with so much pure emotion, that I really want to watch it now. Might just be one of the films which restores our faith in humanity. The incident about your college friends was heartbreaking. It’s shocking how life can change so much in a split second.
VIVEK KUMAR says:
Your post did what any review could not – inspire me to watch the movie. Reading your post I finally realised what a movie review should be. Personal. Written with heart and not like mathematical calculations detailing the three act and all that shit. Even if I don’t agree with your appreciation for the film, i still would agree with your review or view on the movie. Thanks. Keep writing.
Sheraz says:
wow! I am impressed. Both by movie and your writing

Novel-Script Writers’ Development Project
Twist Theatre Development Projects
Using the novel The Ones With Purpose by Cynthia Jele as the starting point to inspire writers, Twist Projects invites writers from across Africa to a week-long writers’ workshop, where they receive mentoring and feedback from other writers, directors and actors as they hone their craft. The result is six finely tuned short scripts that explore issues of love, loss, family and responsibility from the perspectives of six very different writers. Join us for the recorded readings of these scripts and a facilitated discussion with the writers. Twist Theatre Development Projects is a dynamic networking project that focuses on the development of community theatre groups in KwaZulu Natal and on the creation of sustainable relationships and networks for theatre development, both locally and abroad.

Anthropology And Nursing
Author : Pat Holden
Genre : Social Science
Nursing has been described as the most ‘natural’ female occupation of all, embodying the so-called feminine ideals of tenderness and caring. Yet these ideals are juxtaposed with images of nurses as sex objects, or as ruthlessly efficient harridans. How have these very different images been constructed? And how do they relate to the reality of nursing - the close contact with blood, urine and faeces, and the involvement with the rites of birth, illness and death? This book, first published in 1991, explores the alternative ways different societies have developed to reconcile these contradictions. Using contemporary, historical and cross-cultural case material, the contributors trace the historical development of the role, and investigate the expected qualities of nurses within different cultural settings, such as India, Uganda and Japan. They look closely at ‘the nurse’ as a social construct, and demonstrate how the stereotypes relate to a particular society's notions of gender. Designed primarily for anthropologists and sociologists interested in health, illness and systems of health care, this book challenges some of the myths of traditional nursing studies and provides an original perspective on doctor/nurse/patient relationships.
Author : Karen Holland
This book aims to introduce nurses and other healthcare professionals to how anthropology can help them understand nursing as a profession and as a culture. Drawing on key anthropological concepts, the book facilitates the understanding and critical consideration of nursing practice, as seen across a wide range of health care contexts, and which impacts the delivery of appropriate care for service users. Considering the fields in which nurses work, the book argues that in order for nurses to optimize their roles as deliverers of patient care, they must not only engage with the realities of the cultural world of the patient, but also that of their own multi-professional cultural environment. The only book currently in the field on anthropology of nursing, this book will be a valuable resource for nursing students at all academic levels, especially where they can pursue specific modules in the subject, as well as those other students pursuing medical anthropology courses. As well as this, it will be an essential text for those post-graduate students who wish to consider alternative world views from anthropology and their application in nursing and healthcare, in addition to their undertaking ethnographic research to explore nursing in all its fields of practice.

Religion Religious Ethics And Nursing
Author : Marsha D. Fowler, PhD, MDiv, MS,
"[This] is a book that challenges you to step back and broaden your thinking about religion in general and religion in nursing...Nurses at all levels will appreciate the applications to nursing practice, theory, and research."--Journal of Christian Nursing "The Reverend Dr. Marsha Fowler and her colleagues have written a landmark book that will change and enlighten the discourse on religion and spirituality in nursing. The authors address the awkward silence on religion in nursing theory and education and with insightful scholarship move beyond the current level of knowledge and limited discourse on religion in nursing theory, education and practice. This book is path-breaking in that [it] gives many new ways to think about the relationships between ethics, health, caregiving, moral imagination, religion and spirituality." From the Foreword by Patricia Benner, PhD, RN, FAAN Professor Emerita of Nursing Department of Social and Behavioral Sciences and Nursing University of California, San Francisco The past 25 years have witnessed an escalating discussion on the role of spirituality within health care. This scholarly volume is rooted in the belief that not only is religion integral to nursing care, but the religious beliefs of both nurse and patient can significantly influence care and its outcome. It offers an in-depth analysis of the ways in which religion influences the discipline of nursing, its practitioners, and treatment outcomes. Through the contributions of an international cadre of nurse scholars representing the world's major religious traditions, the book explores how theories, history and theologies shape the discipline, bioethical decision making, and the perspective of the nurse or patient who embraces a particular religion. It examines the commonalities between the values and thinking of nursing and religion and identifies basic domains in which additional research is necessary. The authors believe that ultimately, scholarly dialogue on the relationship between religion and nursing will foster and enhance nursing practice that is ethical and respectful of personal values. Key Features: Offers in-depth analysis of how religion influences the discipline of nursing, its practitioners, and treatment outcomes Uses critical theories to explore the intersections of religion, ethics, culture, health, gender, power, and health policy Includes an overview of all major world religions Focuses on the implications of religion for nursing practice rather than nursing interventions Designed for graduate and upper-level undergraduate students, nurse academicians and clinicians

Ana de Armas spent the holiday in Cuba without Ben Affleck and she has a new haircut
— Ana de Armas Updates (@ArmasUpdates) January 1, 2021
First of all, thanks to Lainey Gossip for covering this because I likely wouldn’t have seen it otherwise. Also, I don’t know how much I care about Ben Affleck and Ana de Armas at this point. They were so thirsty early in the pandemic and that was fun for a while, but then they went dark and I was fine with that too. I liked the break from them, especially because they wore masks inconsistently and Anna in particular didn’t seem to be wearing masks or social distancing.
I guess I’m not surprised that Anna traveled to Cuba for the holidays to see a friend and her baby. She’s possibly family, like a cousin. Anna just has one brother, an artist named Javier. As Lainey mentions, the hospitals in LA are so full they’re turning people away and advising EMTs not to bring all patients in, but here’s Anna traveling to another country. At least she’s not on vacation I guess. She has shown us who she is and so has Ben. They’re a good match.
Anna also has a new haircut. I like it! I had a pageboy like this in the 90s when I wanted to look like Agent Scully. The question is whether this haircut is a sign that Anna and Ben are having trouble. She presumably traveled without him, but there’s a pandemic on and he may be smarter than she is about it, or at least about the optics. She did move in with Ben late last year and that can put a strain on things, but she’s also an actress. It’s possible her new hair is for a role or that she just wanted a change after wrapping filming. We just heard she got a part on a film with Ryan Gosling and Chris Evans (again). It’s Ben though, of course he’s a moody bastard who runs hot and cold. He’s not going to break up with Anna, he’ll just make a bunch of passive aggressive moves, pull away and then suck her back in. That’s how narcissists work.
Did you see these photos of Ben trying to hold Dunkin Donuts delivery and a package at the same time? This is me every morning with my coffee mug and five things I need to bring into my office.

Side note.
Byran you said you were doing the Cree this summer, so am I. July 24th to Aug. 1st. Flying to Armatage Bay canoeing to Wapata Lake. What cost were you quoted for flying Points North Air? 5200 dollars for us in a single turbo otter!!! Thought that was pretty high!! Flew in and out of the Waterfound and Fond du lac. Can`t remember the price but am sure it was not 5000 bucks.
Location: Kitchener Ontario
Second the recommendation on "The Lonely Land". Excellent read....
"The way of a canoe is the way of the wilderness, and of a freedom almost forgotten." Sigurd Olson, 1956
pawistik
Off topic, but the tentative and approximate prices thy gave me for flying Points North to Armatage Bay, and pick up at Wapata Lake returning to PN were $5,100 for the twin otter (which probably is not available), $4,900 for the single turbo otter, and $3,577 for the beaver. That includes taxes & tie-on fees. Yup, it aint cheap.

If you were ambitious you could start at Patuanak and go up the Mudjatik to Cree Lake, and fly out commercial at Fond du Lac or Stony Rapids.
For a fraction of the flight costs you could probably convince some one to take you a ways up the Mudjatik in a wooden skiff. There are summer residences on the Mudjatik - we talked with some fellows going Moose hunting on the river (in June).
Just a thought - but time is usually money too. Plus I don't know anything about the height of land portage.
What's the other book I've read about the Cree Lake area? They're memoirs of a trapper during the depression.
"North to Cree Lake" - A.L. Karras?
Another good read in the same vein is "Face the North Wind" - Ed Theriau.

I'm posting references to these books almost as fast as you guys give them.
Regarding Coolican's notes on the 1955 trip:
I had expected wooden boats and worries about getting the food packs wet.
But I was struck by how little information they had on the rapids and falls; they knew the names and had some of the journals but that's about it. Such details were not given in the old days, for sure, but I had expected more to be recorded between then and 1955.
Perhaps the trips of Morse, Olson and the others received so much attention in the press because the fur-trade routes had been abandoned by those of European descent and left to the native people, not, I expect, an original observation.
A literal mind is a little mind. If it's not worth doing to excess, it's not worth doing at all. Good enough isn't. None are so blind as those who choose not to see. (AJ)

Hi jmc,
The author of both North to Cree Lake (ISBN1-894856-19-8) and Face the North Wind (ISBN 1-894856-63-5) is Arthur L. Karras. Ed Theriau is one of the real-life characters of the Face the North Wind book and, I presume, the namesake for Theriau Lake on the Waterfound River. I have both books beside me right now, and I agree, they are both very interesting (oh, and there's a bit of a secret about the North to Cree Lake book).
From alibris:
Northern Rover: the Life Story of Olaf Hanson
UBC Press? 2009?
by A. L. Karras and Olaf Hanson
From 1919 to 1970, Olaf Hanson was a trapper, fur trader, prospector, game guardian, fisherman, and road blasting expert in northeastern Saskatchewan. He told his life story to popular Saskatchewan author A. L. Karras, who wrote this memoir in the 1980s.In an uncompromising, straightforward style, Karras and Hanson reveal the geography, wildlife, and natural history of the region as well as the business and social interactions between people. The book offers a look at the vanished subsistence and commercial economy of the boreal forest, based on a fascinating personal story of courage and physical stamina.
North to Cree Lake:
A. L. Karras
Trident Press, New York (1970)
This "is a story of the land before it was despoiled by promoters and developers. "
Face the north wind
Fitzhenry and Whiteside (2005).
Burn & McEachern, Don Mills (1975).
About this title: ... Face the North Wind is the compelling true story of cousins Fred Darbyshire and Ed Theriau, who spent almost five decades, from 1924 to 1975, trapping and living off the land in northern Saskatchewan. Working an area roughly defined by Cree, Wollaston, and Reindeer Lakes, Fred and Ed evolved from innocent greenhorns to expert trappers at a time when modern conveniences were unheard of in that part of the country. Intertwined with the two men's experiences are gripping accounts of the annual Hudson's Bay Company fur brigades along the Churchill River, encounters with wolves, trapper's lore, and exciting tales of memorable fur, game, and fish catches.
Thanks for setting that straight, Pawistik.

Regarding today's cost to fly in to the Cree:
Several years ago we reduced the cost of flying in canoes and other gear by taking them into Cree Lake when the outfitter opened his winter road. With his permission we drove into Cree Lake Lodge near the north end of the lake and left our canoes and other non-perishable gear at the lodge. When it came time to paddle the Cree to Black Lake we drove to Stony Rapids and flew with TransAir to Cree Lake. One aircraft landed at the lodge where we gathered up our gear and for a small fee we were ferried by lodge staff to the rest of the group who had landed near the rivers mouth. We opted to end the trip at the bridge on the Cree River, called in the Beaver, picked up our vehicles at Stony, picked up the gear and paddlers at the bridge and drove home.
Admittedly we had an advantage as I live year round in Beauval, Sk which puts us close to the Key Lake Mine road which leads to the Cree Lake area. Also all 10 of our paddlers were from Central Saskatchewan. We reduced the cost of the trip by at least a third.

About the NRBID
Notable Accomplishments
When Lou Gehrig shopped at I.B. Cohen’s, in the early 1930s, he had Nat Cohen make suits from material Gehrig had purchased while playing exhibition games in Japan. Each suit cost the famous Yankee $32.00. At the same time- and years before- artist Norman Rockwell bought his clothes here. Many other celebrities, CEOs, and area neighbors have and continue to shop for the best-dressed look at I.B. Cohen’s.
Israel Ben Cohen, an immigrant from Lithuania, opened his first men’s clothing store in 1888, in Mamaroneck. (He later sold that store to his brother-in-law, Margolius. That store closed in 1983.) By 1900 he had established his second, near New Rochelle’s City Hall on Main Street. Of all his children – seven sons and one daughter, three sons chose to join the business.
When the store’s second location was claimed for the construction of Division Street, another store was begun. On October 2, 1941, a year after the death of the senior Cohen, sons Nat, Lip and Dave opened a new store. I.B. Cohen’s is still located at the 525 Main Street address.
The three owners had a total of 8 children – seven girls and one boy. Nat’s son, Lewis, began working for the business in 1957 and continued for over 5 decades.

Annual economic growth ticks up slightly
Colin Brinsden
Annual economic growth has perked up slightly, backing Reserve Bank governor Philip Lowe’s view that Australia has reached a “gentle turning point”.
The latest national accounts released on Wednesday showed the economy expanded by 1.7 per cent in the year to September compared to a previously reported 1.4 per cent as of June.
“The economy has continued to grow, however the rate of growth remains well below the long run average,” Australian Bureau of Statistics chief economist Bruce Hockman said.
Quarterly growth was weaker than economists had expected at 0.4 per cent after an upwardly revised 0.6 per cent in the June quarter.
The central bank left the official cash rate at a record low 0.75 per cent at its monthly board meeting on Tuesday.
After the meeting, Dr Lowe said the economy appeared to have reached a “gentle turning point”, believing that growth will lift to around three per cent in 2021.
However, financial markets still believe there is a 50/50 change the Reserve Bank will be forced to cut the cash rate to 0.50 per cent in February after the board’s summer recess.
Three interest cuts and personal income tax reductions this year have failed to give the economy a major boost.
“The reduction to tax payable did not translate to a rise in discretionary spending, which led to a visible impact to household saving,” Mr Hockman said.
With household sector remaining subdued, the main contributions to growth in the quarter came from exports and government spending.

One log-in for government services access
Matt Coughlan
Australians will be able to access government services with a single log-in under a plan to create a “single digital identity” by 2025.
Michael Keenan, the federal minister in charge of digital services, said face-to-face interactions with government services would be greatly reduced.
“Think of it as a 100-point digital ID check that will unlock access to almost any government agency through a single portal such as a myGov account,” Mr Keenan said.
The minister wants Australia to be a world leader in digital government, with almost all services to be available online by 2025.
Mr Keenan said having 30 different log-ins for government services is not good enough.
“The old ways of doing things, like forcing our customers to do business with us over the counter, must be re-imagined and refined,” he said.
People will need to establish their digital identity once before being able to use it across services.
The first of several pilot programs using a “beta” version of what will be known as myGovID will begin in October.
The initial pilot will enable 100,000 participants to apply for a tax file number online, which Mr Keenan says will reduce processing time to a day from up to a month currently.
In a pilot starting from March next year, services including student identification and Centrelink will be connected to the digital identity.
Also from March 2019, 100,000 people will be able to use their digital identity to create their My Health Record online.
Mr Keenan says one face-to-face or over-the-counter transaction costs on average about $17 to process, while an online transaction can cost less than 40 cents.
The Human Services department will operate as the gateway between service providers and people.
“This is key to protecting privacy, as the exchange will act as a double-blind – service providers will not see any of the user’s ID information and identity providers will not know what services each user is accessing,” Mr Keenan said.
Labor digital economy spokesman Ed Husic said the Turnbull government was responsible for a “dirty dozen” of failed digital transformation failures, including the census and tax office website crashes.
“The biggest challenge confronting the Turnbull government is to quit its addiction to glitzy digital announcements and get stuck into properly delivering these multimillion-dollar projects,” Mr Husic said.

Author’s 1981 Introduction
“Marxist-Humanism’s Challenge to All Post-Marx Marxists” by the author
“New Thoughts on Rosa Luxemburg, Women’s Liberation, and Marx’s Philosophy of Revolution” by the author

Part III • Karl Marx—From Critic of Hegel to Author of Capital and Theorist of “Revolution in Permanence.”

“What I hear Dunayevskaya saying above all is that we have reached the point in history where real freedom is attainable, if we are willing to commit ourselves to a more inclusive definition of freedom than has ever been attempted. If indeed Marx was moving in such a direction, we can’t leap forward from Marx without understanding where he left off, and what he left to us.” — Adrienne Rich, from the Foreword

We Americans
One of the challenges in researching old New Yorker magazines is the frequent use of pseudonyms or simple initials at the end of columns and reviews. With enough digging I can usually determine the nom behind the plume.
April 7, 1928 cover by Rea Irvin.
Such is not the case with the New Yorker’s film critic of the late 1920s, who signed reviews “O.C.” It would be good to know a little about this person, since he or she held strong opinions about the condition of American cinema. I will continue to dig.
O.C.’s review in the April 7, 1928 issue concerned the release of We Americans, a film based on a Broadway play of the same name. Directed by Edward Sloman, it focused on the trials and tribulations of three first-generation American families: The Jewish Levines, the German Schmidts and the Italian Albertinis. The film followed each family through trial, tribulation and sacrifice as they left behind the Old World and joined the great “Melting Pot.”
In one of the storylines, the Levines lose a son, Phil, to the wartime trenches of France. In losing his life, Phil saves the life of the socially prominent Hugh Bradleigh, who in the end falls in love with Phil’s sister, Beth. In the film’s sentimental ending, the Levines and the Bradleighs meet one another for the first time at wedding of Hugh and Beth.
O.C. would have none of it:

Yes, this picture got under the reviewer’s skin. Now for the coup de grace:
Over in the book review section, Dorothy Parker was also experiencing heartburn over the latest work of that all-American man of letters, Sinclair Lewis.
BABBITT BABBLE…Sinclair Lewis in the 1920s. At right, dust jacket from The Man Who Knew Coolidge. (Wikipedia/yesterdaysgallery.com)
Now that Parker had our attention regarding her misgivings of the future Nobel Laureate, she abandoned the polite prose and went in for the kill:
Wooden as the plaque itself
The New Yorker’s Lindbergh watch continued, this time at a ceremony during which the Woodrow Wilson Foundation presented its medal and $25,000 prize to Charles Lindbergh for his “contributions to international friendship” (in retrospect an ironic award, since Lindbergh would later become the spokesman for isolationism during the fascist terrors of the 1930s). The ceremony was a dull affair, but thanks to the magic of media it no doubt looked like a jolly time…
Better than iTunes
An invention from the late 1890s, piano rolls proved to be a popular diversion in the 1920s, so popular in fact that they warranted a regular review in the New Yorker, along with records and sheet music:
LET THE GOOD TIMES ROLL…Top and center: Ampico player-piano rolls from the late 1920s. Bottom, a 1928 Irvington Player Piano. (Ebay/YouTube)
One of the more curious series of advertisements to appear in the early New Yorker were these from the Chicago Tribune. Shameless in their boosterism, these ran during the editorship of Col. Robert R. McCormick, who was strongly associated with old right-wing politics and isolationist movements. The Tribune’s motto at this time was “The American Paper for Americans.”
Another ad that caught my eye was this one for Johnnie Walker cigarettes…I guess you’d better listen when a giant hand reaches down from the heavens and taps you on the shoulder. I love the resigned look on the face of his companion: “Oh dear, it’s that dreadful hand again…”

I read and write about history from the perspective that history is not some artifact from the past but a living, breathing condition we inhabit every moment of our lives, or as William Faulkner once observed, "The past is never dead. It's not even past." I read original source materials, such as every issue of The New Yorker, not only as a way to understand a time from a particular perspective, but to also use the source as an aggregator of various historic events. I welcome comments, criticisms, corrections and insights as I stumble along through the century. View all posts by David O

Frank Wilhoit says:
The voice of “O. C.” sounds like that of Sid Perelman, but I did not think he had begin to write for The New Yorker as early as this. It does not really sound like Thurber (a little too nasty). It certainly does not sound like White. Possibly Wolcott Gibbs? Again, the dates do not seem to line up. Let us know if you figure it out!
David O says:
Thanks for reading and commenting, Frank. I think you are correct in assuming that “O.C.” is a pseudonym rather than someone’s actual initials. I will write the New Yorker and ask an archivist to look this up.

Boston coach Julien, captain Chara reunited at All-Star Game
By Mike HalfordJan 20, 2012, 4:05 PM EST
The NHL has announced the coaching assignments for the 2012 All-Star game, and it appears one team will have a decidedly Boston feel.
Zdeno Chara — named one of the two ASG captains — will be coached by his regular Boston Bruins staff, featuring head coach Claude Julien and assistants Doug Jarvis, Geoff Ward and Doug Houda.
(We’ve now mentioned Houda twice in one day on PHT, which has to be some kind of record.)
Julien and his assistants were rewarded with the All-Star coaching spot thanks to their Stanley Cup win last spring. This year, they’ve led the Bruins to a 30-13-1 mark, tops in the Northeast Division — the Bs are also just one of two teams right now with 30 wins, the other being Detroit.
As for the other All-Star captain — Ottawa’s Daniel Alfredsson — he’ll be coached by New York Rangers bench boss John Tortorella and San Jose Sharks head coach Todd McLellan. The two earned ASG coaching honors for leading their respective conferences in points percentage through the midpoint of the 2011-12 regular season, which was Monday, Jan. 9.
Chara and Alfredsson will round out their rosters at the All-Star Player Fantasy Draft on Jan. 26.

It’s St. Louis Blues day at PHT
By James O'BrienAug 19, 2015, 10:00 AM EDT
Throughout the month of August, PHT will be dedicating a day to all 30 NHL clubs. Today’s team? The St. Louis Blues day.
Another strong regular season followed by an early playoff exit. Business as usual for the St. Louis Blues, right?
Well, maybe. You get the sense that the 2015-16 season is an ultimatum, with the T.J. Oshie trade being a warning: this might be the last shot for many, perhaps including head coach Ken Hitchcock.
On paper, there’s still a lot of promise in St. Louis.
Vladimir Tarasenko tore onto the scene as a true elite sniper in 2015-16, and he was paid handsomely for it. Jaden Schwartz lacks some of the sizzle, but he’s a blue chip of his own. There’s some uncertainty for the likes of David Backes, but let’s not forget that St. Louis scored 248 goals last season, more than any other Western Conference playoff squad.
Of course, a Hitch-helmed team is expected to be stout defensively, and the Blues boast two fantastic blueliners in Kevin Shattenkirk and Alex Pietrangelo.
The two-headed dragon setup remains in net with Brian Elliott and Jake Allen, but hey, at least they like each other.
New viewing coming in October…. #OurBlues @StLouisBlues @34jallen Congrats Jake. #iloveyouman pic.twitter.com/rNWX89htHx

Off-season recap
As mentioned above, the Blues re-upped with expected cornerstones Allen and Tarasenko. They also parted ways with Oshie and Barret Jackman.
St. Louis actually looks pretty similar heading into 2015-16, but young players could up the ante quite a bit. Could someone like Robby Fabbri and/or Ty Rattie become difference-makers for the Blues? Training camp might help decide that, but their development is one of the more important aspects of this off-season.
If fear isn’t enough of a motivator, there’s also avoiding sights like these in the future:

Get Your Game On
Tag: Killzone
PlayStation Plus or PlayStation Minus?
It has been a long while since NTTV has been updated in any way. So, with that and with the recent milestone of 200,000 views I am happy to be back and filled with excitement for what the next chapter will look like for NTTV. With that said, this first update is one of frustration and dare I say – hope – that something good will happen for PS4/PS+ owners.
As we get ready to enter the best part of the year in gaming (Fall/Autumn) there are a few things to look back on and applaud from the first 2/3 of the year. One of the big things that happened was the improvement of Battlefield 4’s servers and the quality releases of expansions/DLC. BF4 is starting to show far more staying power than Call of Duty these days, and that is a good thing.
However, there are some other aspects of 2014 that have been lacking up to this point. The biggest disappointment so far has been PlayStation Plus for PlayStation 4 owners. While the network is relatively what we expect it to be in terms of solid gaming and online connectivity. The aspect that they introduced a couple years ago of giving free games to PS+ subscribers made me step up to the plate with PS4 and become a subscriber as well. Although they have provided decent games to PS3 owners in the past, the same cannot be said for PS4 owners to this point. The free games with PS+ on PS4 have been rather insulting up to this point.
One of the most infuriating comparisons was in June when PS3 owners of the PS+ service) and got a chance to download NBA 2K14 and Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time for ‘free’. These are major releases that at one point commanded a typical retail price point of $40-60. What did the PS4 owners get? Trine 2 and Shooter Ultimate.
Chances are good that you are asking the same question(s) I asked when I saw these as the games being offered.
“What in the holy hell is Trine 2? When was there ever a Trine ONE? Why are they offering a bunch of garbage indie titles on their new console and great games on their old console?”
Like Frozen – I tried to let it go. However, as a gamer and subscriber to the PS+ ‘service’ I simply can’t do that anymore. The biggest reason behind my spoiled brat ‘gimme gimme gimme’ attitude with free games being offered has come out at this point (because believe me – I know they don’t have to offer jack shiznit if they don’t want to) is because I am starting to think that I bought a luxury sports car with an 8-Track player and crank-down windows when it comes to the PS4/PS+ combination.
There has been little reason for me to have the PS+ service other than playing Battlefield 4 online. I also currently own Fifa 14, MLB 14: The Show and Killzone: Shadow Fall. Perhaps the biggest indicator that Sony has a problem is with their very own AAA titles like Killzone – which they release and then forget about. They should have offered it as a free game with PS+, but instead we are stuck with indie arcade titles like Fez and Stick It To the Man. Are you serious? This is almost so insulting it is funny. Except, I’m not laughing. I am quite pissed off to think that I spent money on a service that is giving me the equivalent of throw away SNES titles and acting like they are doing me a favor.
Sony’s own original idea of offering free games to subscribers has been taken by Microsoft and no is clearly being used to destroy Sony’s ‘service’. It is as if Skynet has simply become Skynet Gold and it is laughing at the old version of a good idea that is clearly out of it’s realm.
Sony, you have a problem. It is about time you start re-evaluating your PlayStation Minus service because you are quickly turning into the laughing stock once again. As for your garbage ‘free’ games that you oh, so graciously present to me and my fellow idiot subscribers – I will download them and I might even play them for three to five minutes. However, I am only downloading them because they are there – not because I want them.

XBox One and PS4 – Are Exclusive Titles Still A Selling Point?
On the XBox 360 and PS3 there was the constant bombardment of exclusive titles like Gears of War, Halo and Forza versus Killzone, Resistance, Gran Turismo and for some sports gamers – MLB: The Show. Now that the next generation of consoles have finally started to become more common in households around the world it is interesting to see that the focus has shifted away from the exclusive titles and more towards the features of the systems themselves.
Snake isn’t limited to just Sony consoles these days. But some of his missions are exclusively on one console or the other.
Sure, there are games that XBox One and PS4 have exclusive agreements and rights for, but they aren’t exactly the same type of focus that we saw last generation. While there are some gamers out there that will have certain games that they simply must have like the Halo or Killzone titles for each respective console… that time is changing.
One of the most obvious changes can be seen in the Metal Gear franchise. Metal Gear has always been a Hideo Kojima/Konami production. In saying that – it has also almost always been seen as a Sony Playstation title as well. Now that they have announced Metal Gear Solid 5 is going to be multi-platform it seems that they are starting to realize that more console availability also means more sales overall. This isn’t always a blessing as other content within the game will be exclusive to each console. This is more annoying than anything as it drives many gamers to wonder why they bother spending more and more money on microtransactions.
With multi-platform releases like Call of Duty, Battlefield, Madden NFL and other titles that prefer mass marketing based on volume of sales rather than simply having an agreement with a certain company to release on a specific console. The one caveat to this is when companies like EA and Activision make agreements (like they did with Microsoft) to release certain downloadable content (DLC) on one console before other another. This is a practice that is rather insulting to users that buy a game like Battlefield 4 on PS3/4, XBox 360 and especially PC as well as purchasing the $50 ‘Premium’ service. Primarily because they are being cheated out of content that is obviously available for XBox One users far earlier than anyone else that have purchased the same service for a different platform.
As we enter into a new era of gaming and an eventual move into a focus on digital content, it will be interesting to see how long exclusivity really plays a role in corporate gaming decision making. As it stands, there are a lot of gamers that are sick of feeling cheated out of their money when it comes to ‘exclusive’ titles and other DLC not being available for whatever reason.

Unions Rip Trump Labor Pick Puzder in Manhattan
By Madina Toure • 01/12/17 3:09pm
Hector Figueroa, president of 32BJ SEIU, and Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito, blast Labor Secretary-designate Andrew Puzner’s anti-worker actions in front of a Department of Labor office in Manhattan. Madina Toure/Observer
New York City fast food workers, union leaders and City Council members rallied in front of a federal Labor Department office this morning to demand President-elect Donald Trump drop his nominee to head the agency—minimum wage critic and Hardees/Carl’s Jr. chain CEO Andrew Puzder.
The rally, which included City Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito, 32BJ SEIU members, community groups and cooks and cashiers who are part of the “Fight for $15” movement, sought to protest the nomination ahead of Senate confirmation hearings originally scheduled for next week. But the actual deliberations could be pushed back to February, according to several reports.
“So let me ask you: do we want him in the Labor Department?” Héctor Figueroa, 32BJ SEIU’s influential president, asked the crowd. “No!” they called back loudly.
The demonstrators recalled Puzder’s franchisees had faced repeated charges of wage theft, overtime violations and other forms of mistreatment from the very agency he could soon lead. Puzder told Business Insider in March that he prefers machines to workers because they “never take a vacation, they never show up late, there’s never a slip-and-fall, or an age, sex, or race discrimination case.”
The protesters also blasted Puzder for his opposition to the minimum wage, pointing out that in 2013, researchers at the University of California at Berkeley found that CEOs like Puzder cost taxpayers $7.3 billion per year in public assistance by holding down pay for their employees.
“If we want wage theft out of the workplace, we cannot have Andrew Puzder in the Labor Department,” Figueroa said. “If we want safety on the jobs out of the workplace we cannot have Puzder in the Labor Department. We don’t want him in and we want him out. We don’t want him in, we want him out.”
In 60 percent of Department of Labor investigations since 2009, restaurants affiliated with Puzder’s company were found to have breached wage and hour laws. And since Puzder became CEO in 2000, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, which falls under the Labor Department, has found 98 safety violations at Carl’s Jr. and Hardee’s locations—36 of which could cause death or serious physical harm.
The rally is part of a nationwide wave of actions to denounce Trump’s selection of Puzder. Workers were seen holding signs with slogans such as “I’m not a robot and yes, I will sue if sexually harassed,” “Andy Puzder makes more in a day than I do in a year!” and “Drain the swamp, 64 million Americans stuck in Puzder’s swamp.”
“This is not what workers and labor need right now and so New York City Council members stand with us, 32BJ members stand with us and community members stand with us.” Shantel Walker, a Papa John’s employee and a member of the Fight for 15 movement, said.
Bronx resident Jorel Ware, 35, a McDonald’s employee, told the Observer after the rally that the labor secretary should be someone who wants to support the 64 million people that “don’t make a living wage in this country.”
“We need somebody that’s going to be our side and Puzder is clearly not on our side,” Ware said.
Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito, who previously worked as a strategic organizer for 1199 SEIU, said that she knows the power of organizing and called Trump a “liar,” saying that the city is not going to normalize his agenda that targets vulnerable populations.
“This means that his nomination will have a chilling effect on labor, labor organizing and the fight for workers to get what is right and just,” Mark-Viverito said. “So this is why we cannot stand this. It’s not normal, none of these nominees and what they propose, this president. We’re not gonna normalize the behavior.”
She said that Puzder’s past actions have made it “abundantly clear” that he values revenues over the right of his employees to fair pay and treatment. And when she said, “Shame on you, Mr. Puzder, [for] the anti-worker stances!” the crowd was inspired to yell, “Shame on you!” repeatedly.
“Shame on you for your anti-worker stances, for condoning sexual harassment of female fast food workers!” Mark-Viverito proclaimed. “We’re not going to tolerate this injustice and an attack on working Americans is an attack on all of us.”
Last month, the City Council put forward a package of legislation to improve scheduling and workplace procedures for fast food and retail workers. Queens Councilwoman Julissa Ferreras-Copeland, Manhattan Councilman Corey Johnson, Brooklyn Councilman Brad Lander and Staten Island Councilwoman Deborah Rose sponsored bills.
Ferreras-Copeland, chairwoman of the Council’s Finance Committee sponsored a bill that would allow fast food workers to make voluntary contributions to not-for-profit organizations of their choice through payroll deductions. She said that Puzder has to be judged by his actions, remarking that Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions, Trump’s Attorney General-designate—who has been criticized for his anti-civil rights record—showed up to his hearing like a new person who “all of a sudden” no longer wants to break the rules.

“You don’t believe in what working families believe in and New York will continue to fight back because we’re fighters and this is wrong and we will stand here,” Ferreras-Copeland said. “And Mr. Trump, as you make your way back and forth in and out of the city, we want to remind you that you have to make responsible appointments and this is an irresponsible appointment and we will not accept it.”

Carlos Cruz-DiezPhysichromie 1151, 1981Serigraphy on aluminium
70 x 70 cm Dep Art Gallery Contact Gallery
View More Works By This Artist
The first solo exhibition of Carlos Cruz-Diez after his recent death is to take place at Dep Art Gallery in Milan, opening on 8th October.
Until January 21, 2020 the exhibition Carlos Cruz-Diez. Colore come evento di spazi—created in collaboration with Articruz—will trace the main steps of the Franco-Venezuelan artist's journey through sixteen great works and highlight the originality of his research, including works from five of his most significant series—Couleur Additive, Physichromie, Induction Chromatique, Chromointerférence, Couleur à l'Espace—as well as an interactive artwork specifically adapted for the spaces of the Milanese gallery: Pyramide d'Interferences Chromatiques (2018).
Considered one of the main exponents of Kinetic and Op-Art, he established himself as one of 20th century leading thinkers in the field of colour, and his artworks are present in the most prestigious museums of the world, such as MoMA Museum of Modern Art in New York, Tate Modern in London, Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris and Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris, Museum of Fine Arts in Houston, and Wallraf-Richartz Museum in Cologne.
The title of the exhibition, Colore come evento di spazi (Color as an Event of Spaces), recalls the basis of the work by Cruz-Diez, since the 1960s focused on the perceptive investigation of colour seen not as the element of an artwork but as a real event.
For instance, the works of the Couleur Additive series,—present in the exhibition with some important works such as Color Aditivo Yuruani (2017, chromography on aluminium, 80 x 240 cm)—are based on colour radiation: when one colour touches another, a darker vertical line appears at the point of contact. This virtual line contributes to the work with a third colour that has not been laid by the artist.
Colour becomes the subject of an optical-kinetic research declined not only on the visual surface but in the physical and concrete space of the sensory experience. As recalled by Francesca Pola, author of the catalogue essay, as early as 1963 the artist described his 'Physichromie', representing one of the main nuclei of the exhibition, according to this key: 'The Physichromie, these changing structures projecting the colour of the surface in space, creating an atmosphere that varies with the intensity and position of the light, with the position and distance of the viewer, bring together three modes of colour, touching almost obsessive emotional states: addition, reflection, subtraction.'
Furthermore, Couleur à l'Espace—of which two works are exhibited here—is part of the experiments which Cruz-Diez made on the irradiated colour since 1959. By placing a metal rod on the multi-coloured surface, a spectrum of new colours emerges that the observer can autonomously 'create' and change by moving in space and changing the light conditions.
From the late 1950s, the work of Cruz-Diez was characterised by these coordinates, in a context that sees him immediately active in a close dialogue with the emerging trends of international kineticism. His work is immediately characterised by the bright dynamism of colour, in a continuous vibration determined by the mutual relations of addition and subtraction, reflexes and interferences, saturations and projections. For Cruz-Diez, colour is not a compositional or symbolic element, but rather a real material that gives the possibility of creating an autonomous emotional space, where the spatial event materialises before our eyes and is continually reconfigured through our perceptive-sensory dynamics. What interests him is a colour 'in real time', that he modulates and declines with scientific precision in the perceptively significant relationship, and never in the mere decorative juxtaposition.
The exhibition is completed by a catalogue in two languages—Italian and English—with a critical essay by Francesca Pola.

Channel allocation in SDMA cellular systems
P. Cardieri, T. S. Rappaport
Spatial Division Multiple Access (SDMA) is recognized as a promising technique for improving capacity in future cellular systems, by exploiting the spatial filtering capability of adaptive antennas. In SDMA systems, in-cell users can share the same channel, making the channel allocation strategy play an important role in the system performance. In this paper, we analyze by simulation different strategies for channel allocation in cellular systems employing adaptive antennas and SDMA technique. Results show that high performance in SDMA systems is achieved by balancing channel reuse among cells with channel reuse within cells. Attempts to maximize channel reuse within cells may increase excessively co-channel interference, limiting capacity. Results also show that, while carried traffic is not severely affected by high level of user mobility, other performance parameters, such as the number of channel reassignment requests, are strongly affected by user mobility.

The Obituaries
by vetswriting on 16 Sep 12
By Justin Sloan
The house was silent. There hadn’t been much noise in Oliver’s life lately, not since little Josh’s third birthday. Oliver paused at the stairs leading to his son’s room, rubbing the back of his hand against his nose as he sniffled. A tiny green coat hung by the stairs, just above the doll-sized matching rain boots.
The same as every day for the past three years, Oliver turned to the cherry oak table and pulled a protein bar from his pocket. His bites seemed to echo through the house as he unwrapped the Vista Daily Gazette. The morning sunrise cast an orange hue over the room. The headline said something about a fire in California, nothing new. He turned to page eleven where the obituaries were, then tossed the rest of the paper into a large garbage bag behind him. It was way past being full and the paper slid from the pile to the floor.
Oliver used his thumb to scan the names, wondering if, no, hoping, he would see his own. Not today. He stood, hung his head, and allowed the page to fall with the rest. The complete silence filled his thoughts as he stumbled to the couch.
“Better get some sleep,” he mumbled to himself as his eyelids fell. His night shift on Camp Pendleton would begin again in twelve hours.
When Oliver awoke that evening he rolled to his right side and placed his hand between his left rib and arm, almost hoping to feel no pulse. He sighed, let down by the heavy thump of his heart.
He stood slowly, cracking his back and sniffling before heading to the kitchen to grab his Lucky Charms and skim milk. That sugary marshmallow smell lingered in his nostrils from days as a child, the only comfort on evenings lately. He half-smiled as the milk turned purplish from the sugar. He sat at the table, staring at the lines in the wood.
Julie walked into the dining room and stood behind him, leaning against the wall. Her long brown hair hadn’t changed a bit over the last three years. She wore the same old scarlet blouse.
“Oliver,” she said.
“I’m late.” He didn’t look up. He didn’t see or hear her.
“You’re putting yourself under too much stress.” She looked down at the overflowing papers. “Stop it okay, just stop.”
“I never wanted it this way.” He buried his face in his palms. After a moment he shouted in frustration and stood, looking for his cammie jacket.
“Is that all you’re going to eat?” she asked. She squatted and assessed one of the obituaries. “Keep eating like that and you may have your wish.”
He looked at his sticks for arms. His skin stretched tight over his knuckles, reminding him of a shrunken head exhibit he had once seen at the museums in Balboa Park. He had gone with Julie. They had walked off to a corner outside the historic theater and sneaked down the stairs of a side entrance, to kiss and fondle each other in broad daylight.
It had been so long since they last touched. That morning years ago when she had cornered him in the bathroom, the water running as she pulled him to bed. Later that night Josh had been conceived.
“I miss you,” he said, finding his jacket and tossing it on.
She stared at him with wide eyes, her lower lip trembling. After a moment of silence she turned and walked to the door to stare through the colored glass panes.
“Someday,” she muttered.
“Why can’t we be together now?” he said.
“You aren’t ready.” She turned back to him, arms crossed. “Three years of the night shift, yet you stay. We wanted you with us you know, I wanted you in my bed.”
“I want to quit.”
“Josh misses you, we both miss you.”
He brought the half-eaten bowl of cereal to the sink. She sighed.
“When are you going to learn to take better care of yourself?” she asked.
He was already heading for the door. He paused in the entryway. A salty breeze blew in from the ocean, chilling his face and hands, the only parts of his body not covered by fatigues. He lowered his head and turned to go.
He drove onto base, pausing to show his I.D. to a chipped tooth Marine who looked Indian. Once little Josh had saluted that same Marine and they had shared a moment of laughter. Josh, his little soldier. Now the Indian just nodded and waved him on, not noticing the unfastened seatbelt. Oliver pulled into the intersection without bothering to check his blind spot. The base was the same sandy brown it always was, speckled with palm trees and several Marines out for their evening run.
Staff Sergeant Casey was finishing the day shift when Oliver arrived at the classified workspace called a Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility, or SCIF. Casey set his pizza aside and rested his coke on his large belly, watching Oliver go through the changeover procedures.
Oliver had worked in SCIFs his whole military career, and this was the first that wasn’t just a metal box. Somehow the Camp Pendleton SCIF, on the southern side called Del Mar, had managed to obtain clearance to keep its windows. Still, the drab gray cubicles from wall-to-wall reminded him of the movie Office Space.
He pulled down one of the blinds and stared at the glistening Pacific. Not long ago, for Fourth of July, he had sat on that sand with his son in his arms, Julie at his side. Two years in a row they had huddled together as fireworks exploded overhead. She was so loving, smiling at little Josh and caressing his short black hair, tightening his little green coat to protect him from the ocean breeze.
“Good to go?” Casey said, pulling Oliver from his thoughts.
“Yup,” Oliver took the changeover sheet and initialed at the bottom. “Looking forward to another eventful night.”
Casey smirked and raised an eyebrow. “Yeah, right. Hey, there’s some pizza left if you want… How you holding up Gunny?”
Oliver lifted the corner of the pizza box. He hated pepperoni, so he passed. “I’ll be all right.”
“You take care now, okay?” Casey patted him on the shoulder. He stood and walked toward the massive metal door of the SCIF, standing at the doorway. “Life’s not so bad, Gunny, look where we are, right?”
Oliver checked the cameras for movement. “Julie never forgave me… you know, for working night shifts. She wanted me to quit…”
“As if we have that choice.”
“Huh, yeah… Maybe we do? Maybe. Maybe I could get up and leave right now?” Oliver stood, looking at the door. “What if I gave all this up and went to Julie and Josh right now.”
“You want me to stay, Gunny?”
“There was this time, just outside our house… Josh was splashing around in a puddle in his little rain boots, smiling, laughing, his little hands reaching out to me. So I joined him, what the heck, right? Julie came out and saw us there, playing in the muddy water like sparrows in a birdbath. She yelled at us, asking how I could be so childish… I started to feel bad, I wanted to yell back, but then she smiled for a split second and I knew she was being a mom, the best mom.”
“Gunny?”
“No, I’ll stay, I have to. You go ahead. Have a good night Staff Sergeant.”
Staff Sergeant Casey would go home to spend the evening with his wife, at night curling up in bed with her. Probably more. But not Oliver. He sat down at his workstation, logged onto his computer, and stared at the screen. He used to be so happy. He looked back at the pizza and gritted his teeth as he grabbed a slice. It’s just pepperoni, he thought. Better than nothing.
At one point in the night his head started nodding and he dreamed of Julie yelling at him the on the eve of his first night shifts. “How long is this going to last?” she was saying, the smooth of her neck accentuated by the delicate silk nighty she wore. Oliver lectured her on duty in the Marines, and how he didn’t have a choice. He wished now he had never spoken to her that way, had instead taken her in his arms and listened, really listened.
A phone rang, pulling Oliver from the dream.
“Hello?” he said into the receiver, doing his best to mask his drowsiness.
An alarm had gone off and he had to provide the security guards the password to show he hadn’t been overrun. He checked the list, “pepperoni” was the password. How odd, he thought.
“I hate pepperoni pizza,” he said, using the word in a sentence like he was trained to do. “But I had two slices anyway.”
The guard laughed and gave the return word. “I always wake up happier on Easter, you know, Christmas just doesn’t do it for me anymore.”
“Have a good night Marine.”
Oliver hung up the phone, wondering how anyone could like Easter more than Christmas. He popped two Five-Hour Energy drinks and was up the rest of the uneventful watch.
At five in the morning the next shift arrived. It was Wednesday, so Lance Corporal Smoot was taking over.
“You sure you got this?” Oliver said, eyeing the kid fresh with pimples and covered in tattoos, like every other young Marine.
“Yeah,” the Lance Corporal said. “Don’t worry, Sergeant Plath is coming in at nine, until then I’ll survive.”
Oliver stared at him with narrow eyes. “How old are you anyway?”
“Don’t worry, Gunny. I got this. You on shift tonight?”
“Yup… see you then.”
Oliver departed the building, trudging through the dark, past several young Marines smoking. He reached his green ’97 Corolla, where he sat for a moment, watching a fly buzz around the corner of his windshield. He leaned back and turned the keys. The sun hadn’t reached the brown hills of Camp Pendleton yet. He waited, listening to the rumbling of the car, smelling the metallic exhaust. When the first streak of crimson hit the wisps of clouds, he turned on the lights and shifted his Toyota into drive before heading to the I-5 south. A thought struck him, like the flash of sunlight across his rearview mirror – no more suffering.
He hadn’t driven half a mile from the base when a truck swerved in front of him, then overcompensated and slammed into a red Chevy. Oliver rolled the steering wheel hard to the right. The Corolla hit the guardrail. Screeching tore at his ears as he slammed on the brakes. His head spun and the smell of burnt rubber filled his nostrils.
Someone was screaming. Oliver looked in the rearview mirror and saw the Chevy upside down, the truck on its side perpendicular to it. The sunrise cast an eerie red glow on it all.
He cursed, jumping from the car. He dashed across the I-5 amid an onslaught of honking and swerving cars.
“Hey,” he yelled as he drew close. “Is anyone hurt?”
A teenage girl was crying and when Oliver rounded the truck he saw blood and smelled gasoline. The girl was in the passenger seat. She looked safe, but her boyfriend in the driver seat had banged his head pretty bad. Oliver opened the passenger door first, helping the girl out. He turned and saw an old man with sandy blonde hair pulling himself from the truck.
“Help me you bastard!” Oliver yelled at the old man before turning to help the boyfriend. The driver-side door to the car didn’t budge. He ran to the other side and climbed through the back passenger side door, maneuvering the upside down vehicle and baby-seat now on the ceiling. No child had been in the car.
“Hang in there,” Oliver said when the boyfriend’s eyes flickered towards him. A large gash in the man’s forehead was dripping blood down his face. Oliver wrapped his arms around the boy and undid the seat belt, catching him as he fell. When he reached the back doors the blonde man and the girl took the boyfriend to carry him from the wreckage. Oliver caught his breath and sunk to his knees, watching them hobble to safety. In the purplish morning light he saw headlights swerving as oncoming cars pulled aside, palm trees swaying as the wind came in from the ocean, and nearby at the truck, a shattered bottle of booze pouring its contents on the road. He shook his head sadly; drunk driving was something he could never forgive.
A flame flickered from behind and Oliver remembered the smell of gasoline.
He pulled himself up and ran. The air seemed to tighten. With a thud everything went red and Oliver was blasted from the wreck. The heat from the explosion surrounded him. His ears rang and his face stung as the cement scraped along his left cheek. His eyes burned, but he looked up to see the old man and the couple, shaking, but safe.
Slowly his eyes closed, and he felt himself floating.
The event had brought a new feeling of joy. He felt lighter when he grabbed the paper from his front porch that morning, smiling as if somehow the accident had healed him of his depression. He felt himself walking into his home. A brilliant light shone through the walls and ceiling, as if the sun were somehow shining right through the roof and the second floor. Speckled dust glimmered like gold as it caught the light.
“Welcome home,” Julie said.
Oliver tossed the rest of the paper aside and sat at the table. He thumbed the obituary, until half way down her realized he had heard his wife. Her beautiful, sweet voice, unheard for the past three years. He looked up at her, knowing at that moment he never had to check the obituary again. His name would be on it the next morning.
“Julie?” he said. “Is that really you?”
“What happened?” She smiled, her eyes happy but full of tears.
He stood, dropping the obituary. He had missed the warmth of her body against his. Holding her tight, he kissed her cheeks, her forehead, and then her lips. He pulled her back, holding her face and staring into her loving chestnut brown eyes. “There was an accident.”
Julie nodded in understanding. She stood before him with her comforting smile and outstretched hand. She smiled. Her sleek brown hair and smooth skin emanated their own radiance.
“It’s too early for you my love,” she said.
“It was too early for you and little Josh,” Oliver said. “Is he…”
“Yes,” she glanced toward the stairs. “He’s up there, are you ready?”
Oliver smiled and took her hands in his. “I have been for some time.”
She led him up the stairs, for the first time in three years. He hadn’t been able to go to his son’s room since the accident, when the drunk driver had taken the lives of his wife and child. She opened the door, and the heavenly light shone through their skin, warm and welcoming.
“Let’s go say hello,” she said. “He has missed you, my love. We have both really missed you.”

Product Stories of New APS-C “K-3 Mark III” Vol.5 (Wakashiro)
Hi everyone! I’m Shigeru Wakashiro, in charge of planning and development for the PENTAX digital SLR lineup. Although we announced the product name and the main features on October 27th, I will be informing you of the stories which cannot be measured by numbers.
The new PENTAX K-3 Mark III features a control system that lets users swiftly and effortlessly convey their creative intentions to the camera, which means they can fully enjoy the process of photo-taking. Incorporated for the first time in the PENTAX K-1 and featured later in the PENTAX KP, this control system was called Smart Function. For K-3 Mark III, however, we conducted a thorough review of the system so it is more accessible and easier to operate for users, and helps them to better realize their creative intentions.
In the PENTAX K-1 and KP, the Smart Function had two dials: the function dial to select the desired function, and the setting dial to choose the desired settings for that function. When either ISO setting or exposure compensation was selected on the function dial, the user could also shift exposure settings using the third electronic dial. Even though this Smart Function required only a simple, intuitive action to move the function dial to the desired position, we decided to totally redesign the system — both the parts and their positioning — so that the user can set the desired function without removing the eye from the viewfinder.
K-3 Mark III features a new control system consisting of the Smart Function (S.Fn) button and the Smart Function (S.Fn) dial. When the user presses the S.Fn button, five function indicators appear in the display positioned at the bottom of the viewfinder, with the selected function blinking.
In the PENTAX KP, we provided three custom positions on the Function dial, to which functions could be assigned. With K-3 Mark III, all 22 functions can be assigned to the five custom function positions. It’s also possible to deactivate functions on four of the five custom positions, then allocate a single function to each position. This lets user reduce the number of selectable functions to simplify camera operations.
We decided to redesign the control system so that it will operate effortlessly and flawlessly, as if it is an extension of the eyes and hands. Its operation will also become more familiar as you continue to use your camera. When shooting over many years, your favorite subjects and photo-shooting style may change. Along with optimizing the pleasure of photo-taking, the camera lets you change your shooting style as it evolves, by selecting the new set of custom functions that accommodate your new style.
We would greatly appreciate your feedback on this new control system. As you share information about how and why you have customized the camera’s operation settings, you help us create a valuable asset — the accumulated photographic experiences of our users — so that we can continue to make improvements on future models.
Shigeru Wakashiro (Product Planning)
After joining Asahi Optical Co., Ltd., PENTAX's predecessor company, he worked as an image processing researcher to develop a three-dimensional measurement system for a new business at that time. Since transferring to the camera business in 2003, Wakashiro has been in charge of product planning, mainly with lens-interchangeable cameras.

Fire in the Sky: The Great Pacific War 1941-1945
Only English edition.
Fire in the Sky is a two-player game of strategical rivalry and tactical responsiveness set in during the Pacific War, which stretched between Pearl Habor attack on December 7th 1941 and Hiroshima and Nagasaki obliteration in the atomic hellfire in August 1945. During 16 phase-based turns, you will attempt to conduct successful attacks on your opponent’s units, break loose from the sea siege or simply outsmart your enemy so craftily that his willingness to carry on would be crushed. You shall not forget about the logistics – spend your transportation points wisely and supply your units with oil or they end up as unarmed stationary ducks, an easy prey for enemy diving bombers or destroyers.
Fire in the Sky provides you with a long, well-balanced gameplay. Choosing Japanese side of the conflict, gather as many points as possible (20 of them and your victory is immediate) in the first couple of turns and prevent your Allied opponents from retaking them late in the game. Positive victory points at the end of the game for the Land of the Rising Sun means it wins. Every other result makes Allied forces a winner.
Game Specifics:
Author: Tetsuya Nakamura
Game time: 120 +
game board 84 x 56 cm,
10 k6 dice (5 blue, 5 red),
battle board,
player aid (Japan forces),
player aid (Allied forces),
210 counters (Ø - 2,5 cm),
1 instructions.
Do you want to know more? Read reviews below.
(Note: These reviews were originally posted on BoardGameGeek.com by Filip Wiltgren and Igor Sangulin. The original reviews have been slightly updated in the collation.)
Filip: If you ever wonder why the Japanese lost World War 2, you only have to play Fire in the Sky once to realize that the Americans rolled better. Actually that's as far from the truth as can be, both in real life and in this fast, easy, realistic and intensely "I'm-going-to-break-you-with-a-hammer-if-you-don't-roll-a-six-right-now" game.
It's hard to convey the sense of tension in Fire in the Sky. The game is in no way highly random and yet each die roll counts. You want to make that roll, that single, please-dear-Lord-let-my-sub-pass-through-this-net-of-destroyers-and-hit-that-carrier-with-this-stupid-never-to-explode-magnetic-torpedo roll. You want it more than anything else in the world, more than winning the lottery, more than a scared six year old wants mom to come in with milk and cookies.
Unlike other WWII games, there isn't a single action that isn't crucial to the outcome of the war.
And then you roll… A SIX! Woohoo, carrier on its way to the bottom, gloating rights! Now please, Dear Lord, please let me just stall this bad, bad, bad, marine division for a single turn, only that, please roll a six and I'll never gloat again.
Now imagine that for six hours straight and you get the feeling of how it is to play Fire in the Sky – unlike other WWII games, there isn't a single action that isn't crucial to the outcome of the war.
That's because the resources, men, ships and transport points you need to win are in so short supply that if the battle isn't crucial, you won't commit your forces. Simply speaking, Fire in the Sky is an outstanding game.
Igor: Being able to witness the essence of war from a first-person perspective, I was determined to never attempt anything remotely similar to a war game. Yet a few years later my favorite board game designs by far are WWII strategy titles, and in my opinion, Fire in the Sky represents one of the gems of modern board gaming (not only war gaming) in every aspect - its visual appearance, gameplay concepts, storytelling...
In my opinion, Fire in the Sky represents one of the gems of modern board gaming (not only war gaming) in every aspect.
I wish I could take this game with me to boardrooms and management meetings every time I hear a version of "I want it all and I want it now" from the managers I meet. Using simple mechanics and only 15 pages of rules, Fire in the Sky perfectly demonstrates all the basic strategy concepts like the link between resources and performance management, the consequences of diverting resources to insignificant tasks, or what will happen when you run your operations without a long-term plan.
Filip: By this time you've probably figured out that there aren't that many components in Fire in the Sky. Compared to, say, Advanced Squad Leader or Guderian's Blitzkrieg, this is true. But compare Fire in the Sky to your average Euro-game, and you've got hordes of battleships, swarms of destroyers and a few, precious gems of aircraft carriers.
The premise is as simple as it is historic: the American player is caught with his pants down, letting the Japanese player paddle his butt at Pearl while simultaneously walking all over the American, UK and Dutch Pacific holdings. Japanese player wins, everybody goes home.
Well, not quite, even if it can feel that way for the allied player on the first turns. Each nation is constrained by their ability to transport troops and ship. This means that you can have loads of forces stuck in Pearl or Kure (the Japanese equivalent) because you don't have enough transport points to order them out.
As the Japanese player you've also got one more resource to worry about: oil. No oil and your ships will limp around from base to base offering themselves with gravy and mashed potatoes to the US dive bombers.
The US player has no such problems; the Texas oil fields spew forth all the black gold he needs, the ungrateful bastard (I like playing Japan, does that show?). On the other hand the US has Roosevelt, who prioritizes the war in Europe, and doesn't have enough transport points to make more than needle pricks against the Japanese assaults.
Playing, there is a feeling of extreme immersion.
Or he can concentrate his forces for one big punch each turn – but if that fails the US is toast.
And if Japan does well enough in the early months, the US can even be forced to come crawling to the negotiation table and beg for an end to the war. Don't count on that though; to achieve a sudden death victory, Japan would need to capture the Singapore area as well as the Dutch East Indies and Australia, and do it in 1941 or early 1942. Which is as likely as free aircraft carriers falling from the sky. But it sure feels possible, at least until the US carrier groups and obsolete battleships start popping up out of the empty blue sea and shelling your landing forces to smithereens (for some reason, the US player always rolls sixes – go figure.) But you'll be holding on to your seat and hoping for a miracle all the way.
Igor: Playing, there is a feeling of extreme immersion. I love fantasy and sci-fi, but I was amazed how much immersion a large sheet of paper with few counters (which is realistic description of any war game) can provide. No plastic miniatures, cards, or other fancy-schmancy components. Just a story about two empires fighting for control of largest sea on planet - much better fluff than LOTR or Star Wars!
Filip: Each turn is built up around three phases: deployment, battle, and more deployment. In other words, you get your forces into positions where they can strike (using transport points), attack (using oil for the Japanese or completely free for the Allies), plant your flags and finally reinforce your new holdings.
If it only was that easy! As in real life your enemy gets to react to your attacks – presuming he's placed his ships in range. So that empty sea really can spawn a slew of battleships as they emerge from their bases on the extreme edge of your scouting ability…
And if you use the optional hidden task forces rules then you're truly playing in the dark: is that a stack a diversionary strike by US destroyers or the main carrier task force? As if Fire in the Sky wasn't tense enough already.
Igor: Fire in the Sky provides an excellent mechanism for fog-of-war using the ability for the opposing fleet to move as a reaction to your move. It makes every action uncertain, even while playing solo. I feel that the blocks used in some other games don't create that much more of fog-of-war since you know where enemy fleets are and what is more important where enemy fleets are not.
Each engagement is crucial, each battle totters on the edge of a propeller blade, on the faulty Monday-morning fuse of an unexploded bomb.
This back and forth, lose and take goes on for sixteen turns or until one party surrenders which, on a week night, is more likely to happen – Fire in the Sky is a long game and so tense that you'll routinely find yourself wondering why the sky is dark and how come it's 2 AM already.
Because Fire in the Sky doesn't feel long; there's never any downtime at all. Actually that's not true, there's plenty of downtime but you want to see what your opponent does, you need to see, you must see, or your carriers will rest in YARRRGH! Davy Jones' Locker. Sorry, wrong game.
More than creating a realistic simulation, designer Tetsuya Nakamura (if there is a Japanese WWII version of Reiner Knizia, he's it) has managed to capture the feel of the war: each engagement is crucial, each battle totters on the edge of a propeller blade, on the faulty Monday-morning fuse of an unexploded bomb. Each strike must succeed, each defensive action must delay the enemy and each carrier lost is enough to make admirals commit seppuku.
Igor: The level of abstraction feels just right. For instance, I like the war in China being abstracted out of the game, air power being represented as abstract "air points," ground units that are not actually ground units but more like the ability to project power over vast spaces of Pacific Ocean, and naval units representing many ships.
Filip: You know that the allies are going to win eventually, even though the possibility of a quick and total victory is a glorious but rapidly vanishing mirage for the Japanese. The only question is: are they going to do it forcefully enough to crush the Japanese or will they dither and let the Japanese government off the hook with a peace treaty?
In the game this is represented by the victory points Japan gathers (in the beginning) and the US retakes at high cost (from the mid-game onwards). If Japan manages to hold out long enough for them to have positive victory points when the game's over, they win. If not the US player wins. Simple as that – unless the Japan player manages to gain twenty or more victory points in which case he wins immediately.
Which is as likely as free carriers… Oh, wait, I've used that metaphor already. But I'd very much like a free carrier right about now. Which is as likely as… You get the point.
Ok, there's a lot more to Fire in the Sky than this.
I've barely even mentioned the fact that the big Japanese armies are completely unwieldy on the islands, or that the US's antique battleships are good for nothing but shelling the Gilberts and Wake. Or that you can, theoretically, invade Pearl (yeah, right). Or that when the first US AA cruiser comes into play the Japanese curse enough to fuel their ships on rage alone. Or that the useless Dutch, sitting in exile in London, complaining and never returning once their pitiful forces are wiped off the map, can actually tilt the battle in the early turns. Or that you have a stack of aircraft carriers as thick as your thumb waiting beside the board and you can't get them into play because they're nothing but blueprints in some naval engineers' office.
Argh, so much to do, so little time. And that's the heart of Fire in the Sky.
If you've read this far you're probably assuming that Fire in the Sky is a solid ten. If I were a teenager with endless time on my hands, geeky friends, understanding parents, and no homework that would be true. Hell, I'd give it an eleven.
If you're into war gaming, then Fire in the Sky is the game for you.
But I'm not, I'm a responsible adult waiting for my too-far-off retirement when I'll be able to play board games with impunity. Thus Fire in the Sky is a luxury, like fine chocolate or holidays in Egypt, that you can afford only once in a while. Even so, it is my highest ranked war game, and one of my highest ranked games overall.
If you're into war gaming, then Fire in the Sky is the game for you – not only is it unbelievably good (I'm not making it up, this review is an understatement) it's fast enough to, almost, cram into a weeknight.
Igor: For me, maybe the biggest fun factor comes from meta-gaming. The board game is really just the tip of the iceberg of whole set of fun meta-gaming activities that games provides - browsing through the Consimworld or BGG forums, thinking about strategy, watching YouTube documentaries and so on. Since history was my least favorite subject in school, I was surprised at how much fun it was to read Empires in the Balance or Shattered Sword.
Filip: If you're interested in historical depth, or are a teacher looking for a game to get your students enthusiastic about WWII history, then this is the game for you. If you love tense, long games and don’t mind complexity in the decision matrix, then this is a game for you. Even if you're looking for a step up from Memoir '44 or Axis, this game might be for you. But if you're a die-hard Euro fan or a person who considers two hours to be long for a game then stay away, you won't like it.
Well made
Historically accurate
Even and well-balanced
Really tense
Playtime somewhat too long* for a single weeknight (although still short for a large-scale wargame)
* The Phalanx 2nd edition will contain scenarios, with a later starting date, or by year, with a shorter play time.

Chicago Bulls: 3 players who regressed this season pre-hiatus

Chicago Bulls (Photo by Steven Ryan/Getty Images)
An overall step back for the Chicago Bulls in the third year of the rebuild also saw three players each regress this season.
Entering the hiatus on the 2019-20 NBA season, the Chicago Bulls held a record of 22-43. In their first 65 games of the regular season, the Bulls had trouble finding traction under head coach Jim Boylen at any point. There was a win in the Bulls last game prior to the hiatus, which resulted in a March 10 win at home at the United Center over the divisional foe Cleveland Cavaliers.
The Bulls are in the midst of the third year of their rebuild. And they appear to be possibly taking a step back this season, and this lengthy bout of rest isn’t going to help anything the rest of the year. At least the Bulls do have some time to reflect and potentially start the process of making changes to the front office and coaching staff.
Something has to give this offseason, either by getting rid of vice president of basketball operations John Paxson, or both Paxson and general manager Gar Forman. GarPax is by no means a popular front office pairing either in the Windy City, or around the NBA in general.
Boylen is not the most popular head coach either with this fan base. In fact, he’s probably less popular already than former head coach Fred Hoiberg was at the end of his tenure with the Bulls.
Not all blame can be placed on the front office and/or coaching staff for all the Bulls struggles this season. A few players are having down seasons, and poor play is the ultimate causation. Better usage and roster building could certainly help the Bulls, but down seasons is hurting this team too.
Here’s a look into the three players for the Chicago Bulls that took a step back this season prior to the NBA hiatus.

Flip The Script Friday: Breathe
What is Flip The Script Friday?
Flip The Script Friday is a weekly event where we invite organisations/adults onto our website/social media to answer the questions that young people have for them.
Why is it a thing?
This is an opportunity for young people’s voices to be heard and to have their questions answered. But equally, it’s a chance to destigmatise the discussion of mental health, highlight the great work that organisations are doing and to make reaching out for support from them less intimidating.
We collaborated with Tanya, a counscellor at Breathe in Roath in Cardiff. They, like us, are part of Platfform, a mental health charity in Wales. Breathe offer counselling to individuals, couples, families and young people. Tanya is here to answer all of your questions!
Who’s Tanya?
“Hi, I’m Tanya and I am a counsellor. I work in a person-centered way, which means that what we talk about is led by the client. I am very passionate about counselling, because I’ve seen the difference it can make to people’s lives. I strongly believe that asking for help shows great courage and strength and I feel privileged to hear my client’s stories and be part of their path to change.”
Q&A Time!
We had so many questions sent in by young people to our Instagram @platfform4yp and here are some of the highlights!
Q: What do you think of the idea Flip the script?
I think it’s a fantastic concept. I process stuff better when I have the chance to say it out loud and bounce ideas and feelings off someone else. To me, anything that makes us all talk to each other and learn from one another is surely helpful. I am excited to have this opportunity to learn more about your world.
Q: What made you want to become a counsellor?
When I was younger and found myself struggling, I was fortunate enough to have counselling. It really helped me, and as I love hearing people’s stories, I felt that I wanted to see if it was for me or not. I enrolled on a 10 week course called “An introduction to counselling” and I haven’t looked back since. I feel really fortunate to have found my dream profession.
Q: What kind of counseling do you offer?
At Breathe we have lots of different counsellors. Personally I offer humanistic-existential therapy. This means that you are in the driving seat. You choose what we talk about and the pace we go at. It also means that we explore your world as it is for you. We could look at such things as your relationships, your values and your beliefs as well as talking through specific events.
Q: What do you think needs to change for people to receive better mental health support?
I feel that the fact that we are all individuals is often ignored by the mental health medical profession. Something I really like is the idea of “dropping the disorder”. I think that labelling people is rarely helpful. I also feel inspired the way young people are driving stigmas away by being brave and opening up about their struggles. The louder we are, the bigger the chances of being heard.
Q: What motivates you to get out of bed in the morning and do the job you do?
I think it’s probably the fact that I feel that I make a difference. Some clients have spent the week since their last session thinking and processing, and they need somewhere to share all the emotions that this has brought forth. Another thing that motivates me, is all that I learn from my clients. We all have stuff to offer each other, no matter where we are in our lives.
Q: What is one piece of advice you were given that you will never forget?
A friend of mine told me a few years ago: “stop saying sorry”. This was really good advice, as it made me reflect on my self-worth. I have since realised that so many of us are unhappy with ourselves. After a lot of journaling and exploration with my own counsellor, I started liking myself more and stopped saying sorry for who I am.
Q: What was your favourite subject at school? Why?
I am Danish, so English is not my first language. But it quickly became my favourite one. Before English lessons started in school when I was 10, my favourite subject was Danish. I have always loved reading and writing. But as I got older, English lessons took over. It’s such an expressive language with many different ways of saying the same thing.
Q: What do you think is one of the biggest misconceptions when it comes to counsellors?
There are so many! But one that springs to mind, and that I often see, is that counsellors can “fix” clients. That if you come to counselling and tell your story, you will automatically feel better. In reality, counselling is hard work. We are on the journey together, but ultimately, the client has to “do the work”. It takes courage and strength to look at ourselves truly and honestly.
Q: How do you look after yourself and your mental health/wellbeing when working?
There are quite a few things which I find helpful. I have a clinical supervisor who can give me advice and who I can speak to about anything which might be going on for me in sessions with clients. Also, when I have been to work, I have a cut off point on the drive home, (a roundabout halfway home) which is when I stop thinking about work and start thinking about home.
Q: How do you look after yourself and your mental health/wellbeing when at home? (
I make sure that I eat well, sleep enough and I love going to the beach. The water de-stresses me. I also find it really important to be present in what I am doing. Whether that is being with my family, walking the dogs or gardening.
Q: What is one thing you would tell your younger self now?
Things change, we change. What feels really hard right now, will not always feel like that. You will find your people, your tribe. You are good enough!!!
Q: Is being a counsellor a hard job to do?

Review: The Convert, Gate
“There’s no place for a highly educated African woman here”
Danai Gurira’s Eclipsed was the best thing I saw in 2015 so the prospect of seeing her 2012 play The Convert, also at the Gate Theatre, was a joyous one indeed. And once again, Gurira turns her focus to the African continent, exploring the kind of history that I’m pretty sure is rarely featured in the majority of Western schoolrooms. The year is 1896 and the place is Rhodesia, the country now known as Zimbabwe, and The Convert takes a look at colonialism there from the inside out.
Chilford may be a native of this territory but taken from his family as a young boy, he has been moulded into an approximation of ‘an English gentleman’, the only black Roman Catholic priest in the area and tasked with the job of converting the population to the ways of their colonial masters. On the run from an attempt at forced marriage, Jekesai finds sanctuary under Chilford’s tutelage, renamed as Ester and quickly becoming his star pupil but as she comes to understand just how much she’s expected to give up, she’s left to question if there’s any safe haven at all.
Set exclusively in the drawing room of Chilford’s home, whose soft furnishings and flooring set it far apart from the norm and draw the ire of angry villagers, Gurira opts not to directly feature any white colonialists but to adroitly show the smothering blanket of their influence. So we see Stefan Adegbola’s Chilford done up in Victorian tailoring and speaking the Queen’s English, badly as it turns out, and his Doolittle-ish approach to Mimi Ndiweni’s Jekesai covers up more than her bare-breastedness, as his insistence of her adherence to her new faith includes denying all reference to her old, including her extended family.
As a portrait of cultural warfare, The Convert is devastatingly good. Christopher Haydon’s production smartly shows us the different ways resistance can take form – Clare Perkin’s Mai Tamba, Chilford’s housekeeper and Jekesai’s aunt, flirts dangerously with both worlds, doing the bare minimum to convince of her conversion to keep her job but practising ancient rituals as soon as he turns his back. And in the performance of the night, Joan Iyiola’s fiercely intelligent Prudence aims for a more balanced position between the two, even as she recognises how increasingly impossible co-existence is.
Strikingly designed by Rosie Elnile, the drama weaves a powerful spell as it builds to an incendiary climax, which is no less powerful for its melodramatic flourish. How else could such a heady combination of religion and politics end? A ferocious and fitting end to Haydon’s reign as Artistic Director here, let’s hope he continues to bring such vital and interesting stories to light wherever he goes next.
Running time: 2 hours 40 minutes (with interval)

Film & culture stuff from the mind of Dave King
And Finally, James Bond 25 Will Be Called…
On August 20, 2019 By outofdavesheadIn blog post, film news, UncategorizedLeave a comment
Instead of telling you, why don’t I let Eon Productions and Daniel Craig show you…?
There we go, No Time To Die it is.
Dammit Bond, now I lost my bet on Shatterhand. Trust you to go breaking the expected alliteration of Skyfall, SPECTRE and, uh… No Time To Die.
What do you think? Love it or loathe it? Sound off in the comments.
Meanwhile, this reveal also confirms that Bond 25 (as I may well continue to call it, just for the hell of it), Daniel Craig’s final outing as 007, will be released April 2020.
The film also stars Rami Malek, Léa Seydoux, Lashana Lynch, Ben Whishaw, Naomie Harris, Billy Magnussen, Ana de Armas, Rory Kinnear, David Dencik, Dali Benssalah, Jeffrey Wright and Ralph Fiennes, and is directed by Cary Joji Fukunaga.
More news as we get it.
Once Upon A Time In Hollywood -Tarantino’s Fairy Tale Triumph
On August 17, 2019 August 17, 2019 By outofdavesheadIn blog post, film review, Uncategorized2 Comments
Quentin Tarantino’s ninth film, Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, is his masterpiece. There, I’ve said it.
It almost feels glib to make such a bald, bland statement about this often breathtakingly complex work, but if this is to be his penultimate movie (and his tenth and final film will be “epilogue-y” as the director recently stated), then he has left us with something that not only stands as a brilliant expansion and culmination of his cinematic style and obsessions but also as arguably the most intricate and layered film in his body of work.
It’s a beautiful and elegiac love letter to not only Hollywood but also international filmmaking, it uses a potentially troublesome real-life tragedy and gives it catharsis in the most surprisingly touching and tender way, and it presents a simple bromance that eventually reveals itself as something deeper.
Set across two brief moments six months apart, Tarantino shows us a Hollywood in transition, beset by television, the dying embers of the studio system giving way to the bright flames of New Hollywood, the encroachment of international films and indeed, of the death of the 1960s as an ideal, we’re introduced to fading star Rick Dalton (Leonardo DiCaprio) and his stuntman-cum-personal driver-cum-gopher, Cliff Booth (Brad Pitt).
As the two weave their way through dwindling career opportunities, we meet their mirror opposite, Sharon Tate (Margot Robbie), whose star is on the ascendant and ready to burn brightly. As Al Pacino’s Hollywood producer offers Dalton a lifeline in Italy to feature in Spaghetti Westerns and Euro-spy movies, Tate glimpses the wonder of her craft and the two threads play out with some of Tarantino’s most perfectly measured storytelling since Jackie Brown (now my second favourite film from the director), all the while magnificently slowly building towards the tension and violence of the era-ending and personal tragedy we know is about to unfold.
DiCaprio continues his run as a driven, fearless performer, handling every level of Dalton’s movie star bragadoccio and insecurities with ease, never failing to find the most human of reactions, while Pitt further reveals himself to be the character actor in a movie star’s body those of us with more attuned tastes have always known him to be. His role could easily have played as unlikable or even offensive, but he strides across this with his easy going charm, leaving us with an arresting and enjoyable ambiguity.
Pitt and DiCaprio make for such an impeccable screen teaming that if it wasn’t so all-fired perfect here already, I’d be begging to see more. But their transition from employer and employee to deep friendship is so beautifully bittersweet that I can’t see any other, future pairing as anything more than anti-climatic.
There has been much criticism of Tarantino’s handling of Margot Robbie’s Sharon Tate, with many saying she is underused. This is, of course, complete nonsense (as is the storm in a tea cup over Bruce Lee’s role in the story, which willfully misunderstands the nature of the film). Tate is the joyful glue that binds the film, an even more impressive feat of both writing and acting considering many of her scenes see the character playing not off others, but reveling in her life, by and for herself, in the moment before her Hollywood stardom explodes.
Robbie, the writing and direction of her, gives us a wonderful character and a heartfelt tribute to the real life actress. The scene of her watching herself on a Westwood cinema screen, delighting in not only her own performance (made even more multi-faceted by the fact we see the real Tate) but also in the reactions of the audience around her, has instantly become one of my favourite Tarantino sequences from all of his films. Rather than marginalize the actor, Tarantino has the confidence in his star to let her carry this all out wordlessly.
It’s a scene which also stands as one of two moments in particular (though I suspect further viewings will reveal more) which startlingly play with perceptions of how, and perhaps even why, we watch films in ways I’m still trying to unravel, but this and DiCaprio’s incredible address to himself in his mirror where he instead makes perfect eye contact with the audience were genuinely spine-chilling.
The playful blending and juxtaposition of films in our real world and films in Tarantino’s reel world is also sure to leave film lovers with examination and critique that will no doubt reward, infuriate and entrance for decades to come.
Tarantino’s films all pay off with multiple viewing, but this is a genuine treasure chest which unfolds to reveal multiple levels of jewels which will catch the light to reveal themselves the more we look into it.
Standing as a love letter to Hollywood and an ode to that town’s ever-changing tides of filmmaking, as an ode to the end of an era, as the reclamation of a terrible real-life crime and celebration of the life of the woman involved in that event, as a charming buddy movie examination of the changing dynamics of friendship and as an investigation of cinema and our relationship to it, Once Upon A Time In Hollywood really is Tarantino’s most emotionally mature and singularly impressive work.
It’s also the first Tarantino film to bring a tear to my eye, with a quite beautiful, and delicate closing scene which perfectly encapsulates what the film is: a Hollywood fairy tale, with all the romance and darkness of the very best fairy tales.
In fact, it’s his masterpiece. There, I’ve said it again.

The Haunting of Sharon Tate – All In The Worst Possible Taste
On August 10, 2019 By outofdavesheadIn blog post, film news, film review, UncategorizedLeave a comment
This year marks the 50th anniversary of the infamous Tate – LaBianca murders and, much like waiting for a bus, along come three movies to mark the date in various ways. I’ve yet to see Mary Harron’s Charlie Says and Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, but I think it’s safe to assume that if The Haunting of Sharon Tate set out to be the worst of the three then it can be considered a rip-roaring success.
It’s pretty tough to figure out what was going on in anybody’s heads in their efforts to make this movie. Hilary Duff, who could most charitably be described as awful, runs the gamut from cloying to annoyingly hysterical (not in the humorous way either), playing Tate as little more than a blank slate.
But then the script she has to work with gives her no help whatsoever, keeping the characters character-free and running fast and loose with the unsubstantiated real-life rumour that the actress had a premonition of her own death. In doing so, it attempts to turn cult leader Charles Manson (who instructed four of his followers to kill the inhabitants of 10050 Cielo Drive) into a Freddy Krueger boogieman-type apparition, and that’s probably the least boneheaded element of this truly wretched movie.
Following the real events, Duff’s Tate arrives back at the home she made with her film director husband, Roman Polanski (off in Europe working on the script for Day of the Dolphin, as the script leadenly points out), with her friend and former lover, Jay Sebring (Jonathon Bennett) and three other friends who are looking after the house.
Almost immediately, Tate begins hearing noises, gets spooked by cupboard doors creaking open and windows being left ajar (to the point where you’re screaming at the screen: “JUST CLOSE ALL THE GODDAMNED WINDOWS, ALREADY!”) before playing a kind of Ouija board game that adds nothing to the mix and having a quick conversation about destiny. Oh, and dropping as many expository factoids about Polanski and Tate into six or seven lines of dialogue as humanly possible. Its even more irritating than it sounds.
Then the interminable music (by someone possibly wisely named only as Fantom) which wallpapers every scene SUDDENLY GETS REALLY LOUD AND SCARY as a hippy turns up at the house looking for the previous owner, music producer Terry Melcher. That’ll be Charles Manson then, folks. Or maybe it’s Freddy Krueger. Tough to tell from that music.
From then on, Tate’s unease turns to full blown hysteria as we see the murders play out as her nightmare and she imagines blood pouring out of the bath taps while the audience starts wondering if Hilary Duff might return to her singing career soon because that would be marginally less painful than sitting through the rest of this film.
Just when you think the movie can’t get any worse it goes and exceeds expectations by getting much, much worse: Tate is turned into a gun-toting Linda Hamilton clone, seeing off Manson’s followers with great vengeance and furious anger, as she reimagines taking charge of her destiny (foreshadowed in her earlier conversations about, well… destiny, geddit?).
And, uh… that’s it… 94 minutes of something utterly ghastly, filled with a billion beauty shots of the Hollywood sign and surrounding hills (you could certainly never be unclear where this film took place), would-be portentous dialogue and a hilarious shot where Duff’s Tate is sitting by the pool reading a book titled REINCARNATION, in nice, big friendly text. Oh, and the vaguely rotten aftertaste that The Haunting of Sharon Tate is indulging in a little victim blaming by suggesting that the ill-fated party might have lived if only they’d been resourceful enough to fight back a little harder. Or they’d had Linda Hamilton to hand.
Bad taste can be invigorating, thrilling and hilarious or it can just be bad taste. This is definitely the latter, and is nowhere near clever enough to realise just how obnoxious it is.
It would be a real cheap shot to say this film is truly Duff, but fuck it, it doesn’t deserve anything better.
Once Upon A Time In Hollywood – The Manson Legacy
On August 8, 2019 August 8, 2019 By outofdavesheadIn blog post, Film comment, Uncategorized3 Comments
Out Of Dave’s Head is proud to publish our first article by another writer; welcome aboard Jon Harman, celebrating the release of Once Upon A Time In Hollywood with a look at the cinematic legacy of the real-life horror haunting the movie.
Charles Manson has been a defining Hollywood story for 50 years, ever since the fateful and brutal killings in August 1969. With Tarantino returning to this arena in his latest offering Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, we look at the impact and legacy of the Manson Murders in cinema.
The Manson Murders took place in the summer of 1969 and were the culmination of activities by a hippy cult lead by Charles Manson, an unemployed ex-convict who had spent more than half of his life in correctional institutions. Manson’s dreams of becoming a singer/songwriter had been snubbed by Beach Boys record producer Terry Melcher and he was suffering delusions of grandeur that he was the new messiah. He was also obsessed with the Beatles, particularly their 1968 self-titled album, and was allegedly guided by his interpretation of the band’s lyrics. He adopted their song, Helter Skelter, as the text to describe an impending apocalyptic race war.
On August 8th of that year, Manson instructed his followers, Tex Watson, Susan Atkins, Linda Kasabian and Patricia Krenwinkel to go to Melcher’s house in Cielo Drive in LA and murder the inhabitants, who were film director Roman Polanski’s pregnant actress wife, Sharon Tate, her hairdresser Jay Sebring, coffee heiress Abigail Folger and her boyfriend Voytek Frykowski. The following night he instructed them and Leslie Van Houten and Steve Grogan to perform a copycat killing of Leno and Rosemary La Bianca at their residence.
Manson occurred at a defining moment for counter-culture and Hollywood, starting a transition to a post studio system, as Peter Fonda’s Wyatt uttered the immortal words “we blew it” in Easy Rider, the love affair with hippiedom was over, but the kinetic, youthful and independent style of Easy Rider was opening a door to a new cinema. Then on August 8th-9th the brutal slaying of the Tate party in Cielo Drive ensured Hollywood and violence were fused together in a thematic way that has permeated US cinema for decades, with constant reference to the perfect boogeyman in Manson.
There are the biopic, literal tellings of the Manson story over the years, but there are also countless films that channel a Manson theme within. Very early on, numerous exploitation films captured the salacious nature of the crimes like Angel, Angel, Down We Go (1969) which was retitled as Cult of The Damned (1971) to feed off the ever growing notoriety of the case, not to mention the bizarre attempt to add two minutes of footage to Sign of Aquarius (1970) to suddenly make a Mansonesque blaxploitation flick, Ghetto Freaks (1970) which was a fusion of too many themes to comprehend).
As the investigation played out in 69 and 70, aspects were already fusing into the lexicon of cinema, such as John Waters’ Multiple Maniacs (1970), which had Divine running a circus freak show as a front for robbery and murder and convincing her husband that he killed Sharon Tate in a drug induced haze. Waters was obsessed with the case and wrote references into his film as the case unfolded, later dedicating Pink Flamingos (1972) to “Sadie, Katie & Les” (Manson’s nicknames for Susan Atkins, Linda Krenwinkel and Leslie Van Houten, the main perpetrators of the murders). Waters has spent years advocating the release of Van Houten, describing her as his friend.
The first attempt to bring the actual Manson story into cinema was The Other Side of Madness (1971) which itself was later retitled as The Helter Skelter Murders, a strange curational mix of documentary and re-enactment footage filmed in some of the actual locations whilst never actually using any of the names from the crime. The hippie noir depiction of the crime scene is both brutal and exploitative for a film of its time with strong mondo undertones leaving it a curio in the Manson legacy. At the same time, exploitation duo Michael and Roberta Findlay jetted down to Argentina to make The Slaughter (1971) about a Mansonesque death cult resulting in a film with either very limited or no distribution until independent low-budget distributor and sometime producer, Allan Shackleton picked it up and added a notorious murder scene as the finale and calling it Snuff (1976), spawning an entire urban myth strand of modern cinema about the existence of underground snuff films in its own right (which is another whole article by itself).
Likewise in 1971, fledgling writer/ director Wes Craven was typing out his script for what would become The Last House on The Left (1972). Whilst being an American retelling of Bergman’s The Virgin Spring (1960), it had a Manson Family undertone in its brutalism and striking similarities of character with it’s female villain “Sadie,” played by Jeramie Rain, cast just after playing Manson family member Sadie Mae Glutz in the off Broadway Manson musical 22 Years the same year.
The zeitgeist of the Manson Murders was permeating new cinema as much as the raging Vietnam war at the time, which conflated in a later movie. Writer Peter Biskind, in his 1998 book, Easy Riders, Raging Bulls saw Marlon Brando’s Colonel Kurtz in his compound in Apocalypse Now (1980) as:
“another incarnation of Charlie Manson, the scourge figure who had gone native and now, unchallenged, ruled over his family. The compound was his Spahn Ranch”
The sense of crime family, hippies, war and brutality also infused the zeitgeist of Tobe Hooper’s film The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974), in particular the opening prologue directly cites Manson prosecutor Vincent Bugliosi’s description of the crimes as “the most bizarre mass murder case in the annals of American crime” to add weight to the false claim the film is a true story.
1976 saw the release of CBS made for television film Helter Skelter, which depicted both the crimes and the trial in detail, based on Bugliosi’s book of the same name. Steve Railsback defined the persona of Manson for the viewing public (though retrospectively, this comes across as being quite histrionic and the film comes off as a weird episode of Perry Mason tonally), to the point he never really escaped its impact and stunting his fledgling acting career. The film reached an estimated 50 million Americans on release and thus defined much of the Manson story. CBS later remade Helter Skelter (2004) with Jeremy Davies playing a more subtle and realistic Manson, though not as eerie, this time the film focused more on the persuasive nature of Manson as guru and the lead up to the crime.
Always lurking in the exploitative realms of cinema, Manson re-emerged in an early found footage piece that built on the earlier legacy of Snuff (1976) and ran with an assertion from Ed Sanders book The Family (1971) that they stole an NBC film crew truck and used the equipment to make snuff films. The imagined output is surreal. Manson Family Movies (1984) which is all filmed from the perspective of the family on super 8mm film and dwells on mondo-style, exploitative gore once again to entice the salacious viewer disturbed by the ever winding myths around Manson.
In the same vein, Jim Van Bebber’s The Manson Family (2003) takes a transgressive view on the subject matter and relishes in the hyperbole of cult and barbaric murder. Famously taking 15 years to produce and finish, for many murder groupies, this is seen as the definitive film of Manson. Van Bebber firmly asserts that if you cover this story, you have to cover it warts and all in an NC-17 way. The film does successfully channel a late sixties, early 70’s aesthetic in its tone and thus has a further authenticity of Manson as cinema, rather than cinema about Manson. Van Bebber has a certain connection with the Manson psyche as a film-maker, and is somewhat reminiscent when ranting to distributors about film to DVD transfers of his work too.
From this moment on, Manson as myth and cultural icon becomes a touchstone to regurgitate in direct to DVD movies or sleight of hand references in TV series. Manson, My Name is Evil (2009), House of Manson (2014), The Wolves at the Door (2016) and The Haunting of Sharon Tate (2019) all carbon copy the salacious aspects of the case, water down the nuance and add to the myth-making of Manson, whilst never really tackling anything new and can be largely dismissed for wrapping themselves in Manson iconography with little substance. It is also difficult not to see the Family fingerprints all over most home invasion horror films of recent memory, invoking the horror of being disrupted, held hostage and murdered by some counter culture creepy crawlers, they set the narrative template for this modern American horror fable.
Manson has also continued to guest star in such shows as American Horror Story: Cult (2017) , Aquarius (2015) or Mindhunter (2019) illustrating he is still a strong cultural bogeyman in the American psyche that people want to explore and visit. Films like Martha, Marcy, May, Marlene (2011) nicely explore the phenomenon and psychology of cult radicalisation with strong nods to Manson, without getting caught up in all the salacious aspects of the case. Equally, Charlie Says (2018) explores the indoctrination psychology and less salacious aspects through the eyes of Manson’s disciples and here we see (former Doctor Who) Matt Smith play Manson in a more subtle and believable incarnation as oppressive seductor rather than histrionic mad man.
There will of course always be room for such oddities as Live Freaky, Die Freaky (2006) – a stop motion musical comedy about the Manson crimes, or Troma’s Honky Apocalypse (2014) – that imagines an alternate universe where Manson’s proclamation of a Helter Skelter race war comes true in typical Troma, independent trash cinema style.
It is inferred in the trailer for Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (2019) that we may actually only be getting more the guest star in cultural context of Manson this time around and possibly revisionist takes on the myth whilst delving into the transitioning movie business in 1969, illustrating how much Manson has become synonymous with Hollywood either as protagonist or background player. The film opens here next week, so we’ll know more then.
We’ve even seen one of the stars of Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, Brad Pitt, do his own modern day interpretation of Manson in Tyler Durden, of course. Rewatch Fight Club through the lense of cult radicalisation and guru instructed mayhem, compare Tyler’s speeches in the film to Charlie’s real-life speeches and you see much synchronicity.
Charlie changed Hollywood, Manson is a Hollywood story, myth and bogeyman that perpetuates to this day in so many aspects of our popular culture.
It was only natural for Tarantino as the pop culture maestro to visit and explore, having ditched other Hollywood arch manipulator Harvey Weinstein. Tarantino’s obsession with killers in his work, with numerous nods like having written Daisy Domergue in Hateful Eight (2015) as “a Manson girl out west, like Susan Atkins or something” was leading him here. Indeed what was Charlie if not the ultimate director manipulating and coercing players to act out his Hollywood scene like a doting Hollywood entourage, whilst he laps up all the attention? And we’re still talking about it 50 years on.

“Please Won’t You Be My Neighbor…?” Tom Hanks Clears Shelf Space For His Next Oscar
On July 22, 2019 July 22, 2019 By outofdavesheadIn blog post, film news, film trailer, UncategorizedLeave a comment
There’s really not much to say here, except: Tom Hanks, Mister Rogers, next year’s Oscar winner. Here’s your trailer (get your tissues ready):
If you’ve seen Morgan Neville’s documentary about Fred Rogers, Won’t You Be My Neighbor, you’ll already be on board with this film. If not, you should prepare your heartstrings to be tugged by A Beautiful Day In The Neighborhood.
Tom Hanks playing one of America’s great cultural icons frankly seems like a sure bet for Oscar nomination, and if it turns out to be as heartwarming as this trailer (spoiler alert: it will be), then we’re in for something quite lovely, and probably rather needed, given the times in which we’re currently living.
A Beautiful Day In The Neighborhood, starring America’s nicest human being ™ , Tom Hanks, and directed by Marielle Heller (Diary Of A Teenage Girl), opens November 22. That gives Mr Hanks three months to prepare shelf space…
Rocketman Sparkles And Soars But Doesn’t Dig Deep Enough
On July 21, 2019 July 21, 2019 By outofdavesheadIn blog post, film review, UncategorizedLeave a comment
Elton John is one of the world’s most famous rock stars and this authorised account of the singer’s life and career (with Elton and his husband, David Furnish, serving as executive producer and producer, respectively) begins on the usual biopic trope of the comeback concert, but immediately takes an intriguing turn as the narrative style weaves an inventive path with the equally standard flashbacks.
Rocketman wears its themes (the need for love, self-acceptance) on its attractively garish sleeve like the lyrics of a Taupin/John song, and that’s no denigration as the film is exciting and emotional from start to end. It shuffles both time, story and songs like a Spotify playlist, and works all the better for it, allowing the visuals and the many well-loved songs to tell much of the story, instead of the usual, oftentimes trite biopic dialogue.
And in speaking of trite dialogue, it’s worth mentioning the similarities between this film and 2019’s other big rock biopic, Bohemian Rhapsody: iconic gay rock stars who emerge, chrysalis-like from ‘umble, workin’ class backgrounds to become hedonistic stars of the 1970s and facing the challenges of falls from grace before life-affirming, triumphal returns to public and creative favour, despite the pitfalls of predatory rock and roll managers and all manner of troubled love lives. Plus of course, both were directed by Dexter Fletcher. Mostly anyway.
There is a world of difference between Rocketman and Bohemian Rhapsody, which Fletcher came onboard to complete after the removal/departure of original director, Bryan Singer. That film felt felt like the compromised vision it was in every sense of the word (and featured some of the most atrocious editing seen in a major feature since, well, probably one of the last Transformers movies).
Rocketman instead feels like the work of a more singular voice, one with a vibrant visual flair. I don’t know whether Fletcher was deliberately referencing the late British bad boy auteur, Ken Russell (which would be apt considering the links between Russell and Elton John), but his direction here is frequently redolent of the great man’s work – inventive, bombastic and florid, but capable of finding the quieter, emotional moments.
One of the big draws to the story here is the love and friendship between John and long- time lyricist, Bernie Taupin (a winning performance from the always reliable Jamie Bell). Brave enough to show much of their relationship as unrequited love on Elton’s behalf, including a lovely sequence set to Tiny Dancer (which still doesn’t transcend the song’s sublime use in Almost Famous, but comes close) and a scene where the singer finishes composing Your Song as a ballad to his friend was beautifully direct. A tear or two may have been shed.
It was also good to see Elton’s sex-life not shied away from, though I’m sure many would suggest it didn’t go far enough (an element I feel sure Russell would have insisted on handling more boldly).
But the whirlwind, jukebox tour of Elton’s life comes at a cost. Despite the hugely impressive performance by Taron Egerton (and it really is superb), we never quite seem to reach deep enough beneath his skin to make the part fully resonate. Although, for example, the script and performance show a kindness towards his ill-fated marriage to Renate Blauel, we’re never allowed to truly feel the indignity such a union must have been for both of them. So although the film excels at showing us why Elton is such a highly regarded artist, it doesn’t succeed so fully in showing us the man behind the artistry.
I was happy the film didn’t fall back on giving us a huge, uplifting comeback finale (that comes a little earlier, with the recreation of the I’m Still Standing video) of the dishonest kind provided by the Queen film, but I suspect many would have left the cinema waiting for that last, big triumphant number.
On that note however, I side with Fletcher, who’s penning a smarter tune here than on the film he was brought in to rescue, and leaves us with a more satisfying and engaging production, despite its flaws.
And while you might leave the cinema still not fully knowing the man behind the spectacles and wondering if Elton had any fun at all after his initial rise to fame, the fantastical, fantasy sequences and greater visual fluency makes this film the clear winner of the 2019 Dexter Fletcher musical biopics.
Balanced Web-Spinner – Spider-Man: Far From Home
On July 6, 2019 July 6, 2019 By outofdavesheadIn blog post, film review, UncategorizedLeave a comment
Following up the successful first collaboration between Columbia/Sony and Marvel (Spider-Man: Homecoming), the cosmic hugeness of Avengers: Endgame and the culmination of Phase Three of the Marvel Cinematic Universe always promised to be a tricky task, but returning director Jon Watts and returning scriptwriters Chris McKenna & Eric Sommers have managed a pretty balanced movie that nicely answers all those demands.
Set eight months after half of humanity was restored to existence in Avengers: Endgame (now referred to as The Blip), the film wastes no time showing us some of the ramifications of this but also throws us headlong into a plot which, by necessity, has to stretch out more broadly than Homecoming’s friendly neighbourhood feel.
Terrifying giant creatures, Elementals, have seemingly crossed over into our world from another reality and, while attempting to enjoy a summer class vacation through Europe and engage with a blossoming relationship with MJ, Peter Parker is pulled into battling these monsters by a heroic newcomer, soon named Mysterio.
With Tony Stark no longer around, Mysterio becomes a mentor figure to Peter, but all is not quite as it first appears and events soon spiral out of our young hero’s control – both in and out of his webby mask.
Jake Gyllenhall’s Quentin Beck (a.k.a. Mysterio) works well against Tom Holland’s Peter Parker, in an arc which nicely defines Peter coming to terms with loss, while underlining his constant struggles with responsibility from a fresh angle. And while the resolution of this arc might be one of the film’s weaker moments, there is still a great deal to savour.
In terms of character development, the high-point of the film is undoubtedly Peter and MJ’s romance. Zendaya’s MJ is a real treat; snarky, goofy and vulnerable, and I could happily watch an entire movie of her and Holland just playing off against each other.
Holland is, it almost goes without saying, a pretty much perfect Peter Parker, beautifully playing the push and pull the character feels between his heroic responsibilities and his teenage life, continuing to make him highly relatable.
The actions sequences are excellent, the climax in the centre of London is one of the best Spider-man set pieces since Spider-Man 2’s train battle ( I saw the film in 3D, which really enhanced this sequence), and the film balances action, drama and (a great deal of) humour deftly, giving it a distinct feel while still integrating it firmly into the MCU.
It’s a superb summer movie, and a lot of fun (often mischievously so), even if a certain amount of Homecoming’s down to earth charm has been sacrificed.
Do make sure you stay through the end credits, as one of the two stings brings not only a wonderful cameo (particularly for long-time Spider-Man movie fans) but a pretty seismic cliffhanger for Spider-Man’s status quo.
The best thing about the film is that it makes you want to spend more time caught up in Spider-Man’s web and in the company of these characters, so bring on Spider-Man: Home From Home, Home Run, Home Sweet Home, or even Don’t Try This At Home…
Well… That’s Brave. The Doctor Sleep Trailer Is Here,
On June 13, 2019 June 13, 2019 By outofdavesheadIn blog post, film news, film trailer, Uncategorized2 Comments
Warner Bros. have just dropped the trailer for Doctor Sleep, the sequel to The Shining and, well, it’s quite something…
You can’t fault the studio’s bravery here, choosing to lean so much into Stanley Kubrick’s classic 1980 film by reusing footage and recreating sets. If nothing else it’s a bold statement of intent.
King’s sequel novel has proven to be highly divisive, eliciting equal amounts of love and scorn (nothing unusual there, of course, when tampering with a property so firmly lodged in the public psyche), but director Mike Flanagan has some serious scare chops as the writer/director of Netflix’s big hit series, The Haunting of Hill House (as well as the adaptation of King’s “unfilmable,” Gerald’s Game.
That’s certainly an intriguing trailer, and for those of you unfamiliar with the book, here the official synopsis for the movie:
Struggling with alcoholism, Danny Torrance remains traumatized by the sinister events that occurred at the Overlook Hotel when he was a child. He soon finds a new purpose when he forms a psychic connection with a girl who shares his shining ability.
Doctor Sleep will open on November 8th when we’ll all get the opportunity to love it or hate it. Which side do you think you’ll come down on?
For The Love Of Godzilla – King Of The Monsters Review
On June 6, 2019 June 6, 2019 By outofdavesheadIn blog post, film review, UncategorizedLeave a comment
There has been a great deal of bad press surrounding Godzilla – King of the Monsters. Ignore it. If you’re a Godzilla fan, ignore it more vehemently.
In 2014, Legendary Pictures and Warner Bros unleashed Gareth Edwards’ Godzilla into cinemas, to good box office and mixed reviews. Time seems to have revealed it very much as a love it or hate it affair – I fall squarely into the former camp (despite acknowledging some big issues with it).
Now comes Michael Dougherty (director of Trick ‘R’ Treat) with his sequel (and third film in Legendary’s Monsterverse, after Kong – Skull Island), and what an awesome movie he brings with him.
Unashamedly, unabashedly pulpy fun, Dougherty throws just about everything he can into the demented plot-line: secret underground bases, mad scientists, aliens, lost undersea civilizations, and moves things along at such a breathless pace that you have to submit to the gleeful, everything AND the kitchen sink approach. And that’s even before we get to the monsters!
And you’d better believe we get monsters – Mothra, Rodan, King Ghidorah (all beautifully adapted from their Japanese movie origins) and a whole slew of new beasties. Plus, the title star himself, the King of the Monsters (with a fabulous and hilarious reveal as to why we should grant him that title).
And if you’re looking for monster battles, you’ve definitely come to the right place. Toho’s Kaiju do massive battle with each other in a number of locales, from the Antarctic to Boston, and Dougherty and co. present them with the enthusiasm of someone who has all the toys to play with.
So, what haven’t we mentioned yet? The humans in this monstrous toybox. The performers (including Kyle Chandler, Vera Farmiga, Millie Bobby Brown, Bradley Whitford, Sally Hawkins, Charles Dance, David Strathairn, Ken Watanabe, and Zhang Ziyi) give their all, and play with just the right amount of tongue in cheek, but character arcs take a firm third place to plot and action. But who cares when the action is this much fun!?
And for long-time Godzilla fans there are a ton of extra treats, Easter eggs and references both sly and unsubtle, to a treasure trove of past Godzilla movies, none of which I intend to spoil here (but do stay all the way through the titles for a lovely touch just before the obligatory post-credits scene). It’s already widely known that composer Bear McCreary has used some classic Toho monster themes, and those are the icing on the Kaiju Eiga cake.
In fact, the further you progress into this film, the more it becomes clear how much of a Godzilla and Kaiju fan Dougherty must be, his love for Japan’s biggest export shines through every frame. The whole thing has the feel of some of Toho’s maddest entries for Godzilla, with the same freewheeling approach as films such as 1972’s Godzilla vs Gigan or 1973’s Godzilla vs Megalon.
Godzilla – King of the Monsters is quite obviously Dougherty and co.’s love letter to all things Godzilla, a gift from Godzilla fans to Godzilla fans.
Robert Pattinson Is Officially Your New Batman
On May 31, 2019 May 31, 2019 By outofdavesheadIn blog post, Film comment, film news, Uncategorized1 Comment
Warner Bros. have now officially announced that Robert Pattinson will star as the Caped Crusader in Matt Reeves’ forthcoming, The Batman.
Rumours flew out earlier this week that Pattinson and Nicholas Hoult were both duking it out in final negotiations as Reeves and Warner’s final choices, and now it looks like Pattinson punched that bit harder, as Deadline have revealed him as the victor.
Little is known about Reeves’ long-in-gestation movie, except that it will focus on the early days of Bruce Wayne as Batman, highlight more of the detective angle of the character (yay!) and that the central villains could be Penguin and Catwoman (again… boo!).
While many still think of Pattinson as “the Twilight guy,” the actor has steadily been turning out a number of critically-acclaimed roles in the past few years in films such as Good Time, Cosmopolis, High Life and The Lighthouse, and has also been cast in Christopher Nolan’s new movie, Tenet.
And director Reeves certainly did sterling work revitalising Fox’s revamp of the Planet of the Apes saga, so there’s much to be intrigued by here.
Shooting is rumoured to take place in the UK this autumn but no release date has been announced for The Batman, so I’ll be sure to light the Bat-Signal as soon as Warner Bros. give the word.

“I was so happy with the chance I got that I naively walked into the trap.
He showed me an indecent video of a woman to convince me that he is indeed a woman,” he said.
On the other hand, SS Rajamouli’s film Baahubali 2 is finally showing signs of slowing down at the box office.
What explains Aamir Khan’s Dangal’s phenomenal popularity in China? For others, it was the subtle humour that carried a movie with such a strong message.
“I discovered later that the woman, who claimed to be a divorcee, was actually a man who used to lure men into sex, record the scenes and then blackmail them,” he said.
He said that when he spoke to ‘her’ for some time, she tried to obtain his personal information and asked him to talk to her via Skype.
"Etisalat and du have the power to know who sent what to who over Black Berry, i Phone or the internet.
Gen Tamim said he had decided to look more closely at the situation after an incident involving a friend who received an anonymous pornographic message on Black Berry Messenger.Although it will be free during an initial testing period Skype will start charging for it along with some other upcoming features in three or four months.Skype will continue to allow people to make normal voice or video calls and send instant messages to other Skype users for no charge."I would like Etisalat and du to present a team to work with us and the prosecutor's office after Eid to take this forward." Gen Tamim said the task force would monitor online activity, and as soon as a person was found distributing illicit material, it would issue a warning.If the activity continued, the task force could bar internet use by disconnecting their account. He warned that the current explosion of social media and internet use could be detrimental to society without proper monitoring and control.Actors Prabhas and Rana Daggubati had to gain a lot of weight to play their iconic roles in director SS Rajamouli’s Baahubali 2.In order to achieve the required muscular frame, both the actors were on a strict diet.Mr Stevens said the feature is the one users have requested most.He added that the company also plans to focus on getting Skype on devices beyond computers, such as smart phones.Users pay for services such as making calls from a PC to a landline or cell phone.Skype consumer manager Neil Stevens, said group video chat will first be available to those who use the software on Windows PCs, and the company expects to roll out a Mac version later this year.

WILLS POINT, TX — GFA (Gospel for Asia, www.gfa.org) has issued an urgent appeal for help in responding to some of the worst flooding in almost a century that has claimed several hundred lives and displaced nearly a quarter of a million people in southern India.
GFA-supported workers have already begun distributing emergency supplies to some of the victims of the torrential rain in Kerala state, which has disrupted transportation and communication. Official rescue and relief efforts are also getting underway in many places with government help.
Some people have had to be rescued from rooftops by helicopter and by boat, while buildings and bridges have been swept away. Thirteen of Kerala’s 14 districts have been affected in what chief minister, Pinarayi Vijayan, has called an “extremely grave” crisis.
While GFA-supported workers are gathering dry ration kits containing food, clean water and other essentials like clothes, tarps and toiletries, they are still waiting to learn the full extent of their own losses from the flooding in the region, where they have been involved in a wide range of caring ministries for decades. So far, at least one church led by a GFA-supported pastor and several Bridge of Hope centers are known to have been damaged.
“I have never seen rain like this in my life,” said GFA founder, Dr. K.P. Yohannan. “No matter which way I look, it is like I am surrounded by an ocean of water. Many have escaped with only the clothes on their backs. To rebuild and restore what has been lost will take time. We are doing all we can to help those in immediate need, and we are asking people everywhere to stand with us through prayers and giving so that we can do more to bring comfort and care in the name of Jesus.”
In a special emergency appeal report posted at GFA’s website, video footage from GFA-supported workers in the area shows water surging up the side of buildings, and people lining up to be taken away by boat.
Standing in water that covers the main local highway, Dr. Daniel Johnson, leader of GFA-supported medical ministry, says, “We are helping. We are trying to do what we can, but do pray. There is a lot more help we need.”
Donations to support GFA’s disaster relief work in Kerala can be made at gfa.org/flood.
PHOTO CUTLINE: GFA’s disaster relief fund helps take relief supplies to victims of natural disasters like this one—the worst flooding in India’s Kerala state in almost a century. For more information, go to gfa.org/flood.

38%of Brits admit cheating on their spouse after getting back to the offices. Almost 2 out of 4 declared this as a onetime escapade after months of lockdown with the official spouse.
For many Brits getting back to the offices after months of lockdown meant not only a return to socializing in the working environment but also a chance for irresistible escapades. A study conducted by Gleeden – the first portal for extramarital encounters in Europe made by women with over 7 million members of which over 250,000 in the UK – discovered that 38% of British citizens experienced an affair with a work colleague after getting back to the office following lockdown.
The study was conducted on a sample of 1,267 British users of the app and aimed to discover the cheating behaviour after the ease of the lockdown with specific interest at the workplace. Members who confessed their affair were questioned about the reasoning behind their behaviour. 39% confessed pure need for sex, 36% felt attracted by someone different than their partner while the remaining 25% did so to feel desired again. These answers where not surprising considering that more than 60% of the total surveyed members retain that the lockdown has negatively affected their relationship both and an emotional and sexual level. The study aimed also to understand whether the affair was planned or if it happened unexpectedly. To this question, 78% answered that they committed affair at the workplace without any previous planning, while 22% decided to opt for a date and meet outside the office hours. The cheating partners were also questioned to which extent did they cheat and whether or not they had sex. 38% of them confessed to having sexual intercourse, followed by 29% who did not go further than kissing. While 21% confessed just flirting and only 12% experienced foreplay. Finally, they were asked if they have the intension to continue their discreet relationship with that person. To this question, 41% consider their affair with the work colleague simply a onetime escapade, while 59% would do it again.
Extramarital affairs at the workplace are not a new thing among monogamous couples. However, the negative effects of lockdown on marital relationships were drastic, therefore, being back to work and having the opportunity to socialize again is a strong temptation for partners to break not only the social distancing rules but also those of the marriage.
July 31st is World’s Orgasm Day, yet 78% of British women climax less frequently since isolating with their spouse

BYPASSING BELFAIR: After a long journey, the project is almost ready to go
By Angela D. Smith, Sun Staff — Sep 9th, 2001
* A bypass around Belfair has been in the works for about three years and may cost up to $13.6 million
During the Roman empire, 53,000 miles of road were built in just 500 years.
At that rate, a recently approved highway bypass around Belfair could have been built six times over.
But almost two millenniums ago, Romans just had to do a little measuring, digging, put down some rocks for the foundation and lay slabs to make a fairly flat surface.
Today, groundwork for the bypass route is made of paper: studies of how it will affect Belfair citizens, businesses and environment.
For the Belfair bypass - or Belfair Loop Road as the North Mason Chamber of Commerce members requested it be named - the first piece of paper groundwork came in March 1998. It was a $15,000 county contract with Skillings-Connolly consultants to outline phases and costs for a road from the north end of Mason County to Highway 101 near Shelton.
"When this started, we didn't know if we could build a road," Mason County Public Works Director Jerry Hauth said.
Mason County's population is growing by 1.74 percent annually, projecting to about 40 percent more people by 2025.
Because of the Growth Management Act, the county had to develop three urban growth areas in which to concentrate the population. One UGA is in the county's only incorporated city, Shelton, and the other two are in Allyn and Belfair.
According to state Department of Transportation studies, that growth would mean more traffic congestion and accidents on existing roads.
County officials then began to devise a countywide transportation plan, Hauth said.
"It had never been done before," he said.
Immediately after Skillings-Connolly had developed a schedule of phases for the project, the company was given another contract for about $1.2 million to analyze the feasibility of building a road through Mason County.
"Mason County asked the state to participate in the study," said Olympic Region Transportation Planning Manager Bob Jones with the Washington Department of Transportation.
State funding, however, prevented the state from building the road, Jones said.
Even though the Belfair bypass might become a state highway, the Legislature decided to pump transportation money elsewhere - into larger-scale projects such as improvements on Interstate 405.
Mason County volunteered to take over the project, Jones said.
In a project that altogether has cost about $2.7 million, the state has given about $121,000 and is expected to give another $404,000 for the bypass, Hauth said.
In October 1999 the project was separated into two parts:
* A Belfair bypass, which would begin near the Kitsap-Mason county line, swing around Belfair and rejoin Highway 3 near North Mason High School outside of town.
* A Highway 101 connector, which would connect the bypass south of Belfair with Highway 101 near Shelton.
More studies by Skillings-Connolly were approved, and preliminary maps of bypass locations were drawn and presented to the public.
Early designs for the bypass, according to Skillings-Connolly studies, avoid all but 0.11 acres in five wetlands and meets design standards for a 60-mph road.
The high-speed design will allow the county to apply for state and federal grants.
Five years ago, members of the Overton family donated land to the county for a public road, which they hoped to use for logging access on nearby portions of their land.
Public works director Hauth said the original idea was for a low-speed boulevard across the Overton property, but that proposal subsequently was replaced by plans for the full highway bypass around Belfair.
Now, about two-thirds of the proposed bypass is on the Overtons' property, but it was not the same swath of land originally donated because of wetlands near the original route, Hauth said.
The county and the Overtons will now renegotiate what to do about the land. One possibility is that the county can condemn the property and force the Overtons to sell, which also could be done with owners of nine properties on the southern third of the bypass.
They county, however, has not condemned a property for about four years, Hauth said.
The approved bypass route will go through or clip seven houses near the southern end of the bypass in the Alta Brook neighborhood.
And residents won't be the only ones affected. Businesses along Highway 3 in Belfair are concerned that new businesses will sprout up along the bypass, adversely affecting them.
That's a distinct possibility, since a large portion of the parcel lies within the urban growth area. However, the Belfair planning group could recommend that no businesses be allowed in the area.
The bypass was approved by county commissioners in mid-July and will cost an estimated $13.6 million total. If all goes well, the bypass may be completed in three years, Hauth said.

Prosser: iPad and Apple Watch Series 6 Press Release Planned for September 8 [Updated]
Apple is reportedly planning a press release for this Tuesday to announce new iPad and Apple Watch models, according to prolific leaker Jon Prosser.

Apple is reportedly planning a press release for this Tuesday to announce new iPad and Apple Watch models, according to prolific leaker Jon Prosser.
Prosser explains that Apple has a press release scheduled for Tuesday, September 8 at 9:00 EST, but notes that it is not “locked in” until the day itself. Prosser has also said that he will offer an update if and when one is available.
Prosser has previously said that new Apple Watch and iPad models would arrive via press release in the week of September 7. This alleged Tuesday press release would seem to be for those products.
Although new Apple Watch models would likely be the expected Series 6, Prosser did not state which iPad would be arriving. In recent months there has been some conflation about leaks regarding the low-cost iPad and iPad Air 4. It has also been suggested that updated iPad Pro models may arrive this month, so it is difficult to know exactly which iPad models are expected.
Apple press release is currently scheduled for Tuesday (September 8) at 9:00am EST — though, I should note that it’s not locked in until the press has been briefed, day of.
I’ll tweet early that morning to update you if it changes.
— Jon Prosser (@jon_prosser) September 6, 2020
The release of multiple Apple products appears to be imminent. At the end of last month, Apple registered eight Apple Watches and seven iPads in Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC) filings, and various leaks such as an alleged instruction manual and design schematics have come to light. Similar EEC filings have preceded the launch of new Apple products on numerous occasions, including multiple iPad, iPad Pro, iPhone, Mac, Apple Watch, and AirPods models.
The EEC filings effectively confirm that new Apple Watches and at least two different models of iPad will be released very soon, so Prosser’s claim that a Tuesday press release will see announcements of these products is not unfounded. Prosser has also correctly predicted some of Apple’s launch plans in the past.
Update: Mark Gurman believes that the Tuesday announcement may only be for the upcoming iPhone event rather than any new product releases:
I wouldn’t get too excited about rumors of new Apple products appearing this week. More likely I think: an announcement of the upcoming (of course virtual) September iPhone/Apple Watch event.

Liverpool 3-3 Arsenal: 5 Conclusions
14th January 2016 - by seanwhooleypl365 - Leave a Comment
There is only one word that can describe what happened at Anfield yesterday — mayhem. As correctly predicted by Both Teams to Score.
Premier League leaders Arsenal traveled to Merseyside with Liverpool trying to rise from the midtable by beating the Gunners. When the two met at the Emirates in August, they played a 0-0 draw that was deceptive in its scoreline, as non-stop action graced the pitch in London that day.
Yesterday, it was quite the same, only both teams were able to put the ball in the net, providing an incredible football viewing in what was perhaps the best Premier League game thus far in 2015/2016.
Liverpool will certainly feel as though they could have won, squandering the lead twice, but in the end they’ll feel fortunate to have gotten a point, with unlikely saviour Joe Allen coming to the rescue. Here are some conclusions from the performance put forth by the Anfield outfit.
1. Roberto Firmino is Liverpool’s best chance to score goals
Roberto Firmino has been shockingly bad at times this season, but when put at the front of the line, he put forth a brilliant performance, reminiscent of his play against Manchester City in November.
It’s clear where Firmino’s best position is… Playing as a number 9/striker – 4 Games 3 Goals 3 Assists #LFC
— – (@Rated_Red) January 14, 2016
With Daniel Sturridge being out injured despite declaring himself fit for Boxing Day, the other attacking players being on the mend, and Christian Benteke still not quite doing it for Liverpool, Firmino is Jurgen Klopp’s best option to lead the attack.
His movement and intelligence were on display against Arsenal, and coupled with magnificent finishing that we haven’t yet seen, he looks to be the deadly attacker Liverpool supporters were hoping for. Klopp should look to set up in a similar way against Manchester United on the weekend, and Firmino will hopefully continue to look the way he did yesterday.
2. Simon Mignolet is Liverpool’s best chance to concede goals
Perhaps a little exaggerated, as Adam Bogdan has proved much worse. Still, Mignolet was at it again against Arsenal. He was weak when Aaron Ramsey beat him to his near post, and should have done better on yes, you guessed it, the corner kick where Olivier Giroud redirected it past the Belgian.
Simon Mignolet does not warrant a new 5-year contract at #LFC. Worst keeper in the top ten. Needs binning if we are to ever progress. #lfc
— Anfield HQ (@AnfieldHQ) January 13, 2016
He was lucky to be bailed out by his attack, as we haven’t seen them consistently help him out since 2013/2014, but Mignolet must be better or the axe is coming soon. Klopp has remained adamant about being comfortable with his keeper situation, but keep in mind that the German recalled Danny Ward from his loan at Aberdeen. Just food for thought.
3. Jordan Henderson deserves more praise
Liverpool’s skipper has been unfairly treated by non-Liverpool supporters for a few years now, and it’s time that it stops. He’s had an awful year thus far with the diagnosis of a chronic foot injury after a few months out, but when he’s been on the pitch he’s been the leader Liverpool need.
Against Arsenal, he did nothing pretty, but that was what the Reds needed. Henderson was all over the field, intercepting passes and setting up Liverpool’s attack. His long balls and diagonals have been great, as evidenced by the one that gave Benteke the opportunity to set up Allen’s goal.
Henderson vs Arsenal 66 passes 1 chance created 4/6 tackles 7 interceptions 2/2 headed duels [via @LFCData] #LFC pic.twitter.com/wKElH30rhL
— Anfield Express (@AnfieldExpress) January 14, 2016
Henderson is a hard-working, talented footballer who has learned a lot about leadership from his predecessor Steven Gerrard, and is applying it well. A lot of people didn’t seem to realize how important he was until he was gone, and now that he’s back, he deserves high praise for his performances.
4. Defensive struggles continue, and must be stopped
The last thing Liverpool can do is allow Manchester United to score. The Red Devils may have scored three goals against Newcastle this week, but they still have plenty of issues scoring, and Liverpool must expose them.
The defense was shaky against Arsenal, and a shaky defense in front of a shaky keeper is a recipe for disaster, even against a club that has as much trouble scoring as United. Liverpool’s fullbacks continue decent defensive work, but it’s the center that’s worrying. Injuries have ruled out Martin Skrtel and Dejan Lovren, and that was especially evident when Giroud overpowered Mamadou Sakho and Kolo Toure, as Liverpool just didn’t have the strength to contain the Frenchman.
Steven Caulker was brought in to help, and Lovren could be back against United, but the defense presented against Arsenal did not work, and likely won’t work in the future.
5. Despite all the mayhem, Liverpool can compete with top English clubs
Conceding three goals is never something to be proud of, but Arsenal are league leaders, and it’s encouraging that Liverpool were at least able to match them. Liverpool have beaten Leicester, Chelsea and Manchester City, drawn Arsenal twice and Tottenham once, and will look to avenge a bad loss to United earlier in the season on Sunday.
These clubs are the ones above Klopp’s men in the table, and although Liverpool’s midtable standing shows that they haven’t taken advantage of some good performances, these results show promise that Liverpool can compete if they find some kind of consistency. That’s a big “if,” but under a proven manager like Klopp, it’s not very farfetched.
And, hey, don’t forget. Allen scored a goal while Caulker played striker. Anything can happen as the second half of another wild Barclay’s Premier League season unfolds.

Highlights from the Ask the Principal webcast
You asked, she answered
By McGill Reporter Staff
In an hour-long webcast on Thursday, April 19, McGill Principal Heather Munroe-Blum spoke about the ups and downs experienced during the often challenging last school year at McGill and replied to a series of questions posed to her by members of the University community. The event was hosted by professor Wendy Thomson, Director of the School of Social Work.
“It’s been a bit of a rock ‘n roll year,” Munroe-Blum said in her openings remarks. “And with that has come an increased activism on our campuses and on other campuses and certainly in the city right now in the context of the tuition policy. It’s also been a year of terrific academic and scholarly and research successes on our campuses and affiliated teaching hospitals, and with our students, who are making great strides in everything from volunteerism to athletics to scholarly awards.”

Re:Turn – One Way Trip Drops a Ghost Story Launch Trailer
By Jason Frye
Ahhhh, I do love the scary games that come out to play at this time of year. A launch trailer debuted for Re:Turn – One Way Trip today. It shows a group of kids talking and telling a scary story around a campfire. Things quickly go poorly, and one girl is left alone. After discovering an old train in the forest, she decides to explore it. Inside that train, she talks to entities that might be ghosts and runs from scary monsters. It looks like a good start.
Read More: Remothered: Broken Porcelain Scares Up a Release Today
The game relies on the character moving between the past and present to solve tough puzzles and unlock more areas for exploration. By collecting clues and using your brain, you might be able to find your friends and stop a horrible evil. The story is told from two character’s perspectives, and, according to my press release, uses a soundtrack that builds a lot of tension.
Unfortunately, we have to wait a few more weeks, before it releases on the PS4. We don’t have an exact date, but it should be a “Halloween release.” We should know more soon, and we’ll let fans of scary games know when they’ll be taking a trip to the woods.

Jason became terminally addicted to videogames after receiving the NES at an early age. This addiction grew to include PC gaming and was cemented with the launch of the PS2. From then on, he was afflicted with epic RPGs, tense shooters, and deep strategy games, never becoming skillful, but never able to quit. He continues to play games (poorly) and share his passion for them to anyone willing to listen.

Cyber Command updates Queens councilman on security after Iran air strikes
QNS/File
As tension continues to roil between the United States, Iran and its proxies across the Middle East, Councilman Robert Holden, the chair of the Committee of Technology, was briefed on the city’s heightened awareness toward the potential of cyber attacks.
The conference call with Chief Information Security Officer Geoff Brown, head of the New York City Cyber Command, Department of Information and Telecommunications Commissioner Jessica Tisch, came as a follow up to Mayor Bill de Blasio and the NYPD’s Jan. 3 update in which they reiterated the city’s level of preparedness after the killing of Iranian General Qasem Soleimani, and the ensuing missile retaliation from Tehran.
“Just as the mayor and the NYPD stated several times, there has been no specific, credible threat of a cyber attack against our city,” Holden said. “It was very reassuring, however, to learn from Cyber command all of the great work being done to protect New York from such threats.”
“Chief Brown and Commissioner Tisch did an excellent job of explaining the measures that have been taken in past years to ensure a constant heightened state of vigilance. They have learned from previous attempts to disrupt operations of large companies, influence narratives on social media and steal data from agencies, and they are doing everything in their power to protect our cyber network from future threats,” Holden added.
Meanwhile, Senator Charles Schumer revealed that critical bomb-detection equipment that can help law enforcement spot suicide vests, small explosive devices and more at JFK and LaGuardia airports as well as other crowded transit hubs, remain in testing limbo from where it must advance. Schumer called on the federal government and the Transportation Security Administration, which has been testing the technology since 2004, to deploy the bomb-detection equipment immediately.
“Amid tensions with Iran, security concerns and the constant threat of lone-wolf terror, which we have already seen in our subway system, the feds need to plot a course to make this technology install-ready,” Schumer said. “Whether the hurdle is related to cost, complexity or whatever else, the bottom line is that we need to overcome it so law enforcement can have another critical intel tool at the ready.”
Schumer explained that the Stand Off Explosive Detection Technology, without using radiation, can indicate if an individual is carrying or wearing an explosive device giving law enforcement the upper hand, but only if it can advance from testing limbo to priority approval status.
“For 16 years now, the TS has been testing life-saving and terror-preventing technology with little to no widespread adoption, and the most shocking part about it is we’ve seen it work,” Schumer said. “Two years ago, I secured full testing of this equipment at Penn Station where the TSA lauded the trial run, explained how the devices can save lives. Without stopping a single person in the midst of their travels, and yet we still don’t see this technology in wide use across New York City or the nation’s busiest transit hubs. The feds need to explain what’s standing in the way here so we can get to work on addressing the cause.”

¡Berta Vive!
On November 19, 2017 November 17, 2017 By RadicalDiscipleshipIn Cloud of Witnesses, Subverting Empire
From Berta Zúñiga Cáceres, the daughter of Honduran community organizer Berta Caceres who, in Spring 2016, was murdered by the national and local Honduran government and a multinational dam company, with at least the tacit support of the US. This is from a ¡Berta Vive! series of interviews. Caceres is asked about the broader vision of her mother’s organization COPINH:
It’s a very rich vision and one that exists among many indigenous peoples. It has to do with building a logic that’s completely opposed to the hegemonic way of thinking that we’re always taught. The vision and proposals are defiant, totally different than the academic, patriarchal, racist, positivist vision of the world. They include relations between people that are much more communitarian and collective, and that also have a strong relationship to the global commons and to nature, defying the dominant anthropocentric vision. They relate to spirituality and the relationships we have with all living beings – a holistic vision of life.
Indigenous people find themselves battling extractivism, companies, mining, because that’s the battleground where these different ways of knowing, of feeling, of cosmovision play out.
This is the wealth of indigenous peoples. But it also represents a threat for the economic model that’s based on profits and money, and that’s developed through repression and exclusion.

Stalking a Speculative Trade in Alkermes
The longer-term weekly chart is ugly, but optimistic in the near-term.
By TIMOTHY COLLINS
Apr 14, 2016 | 11:43 AM EDT
Stocks quotes in this article: ALKS
This isn't what you would call a banner 2016 for Alkermes (ALKS). Disappointment in the top-line results from a depression drug have cut shares in half this year, but the tide looks like it may be turning. Bulls are starting to sniff the stock again. It's possible things come back around for the depression drug as it can be a bit more difficult to measure versus something like a tumor. This isn't a one-trick pony. Revenue is still expected to grow in the 10% to 20% range next year, although the company will still be in the red. Biotech names will often run in anticipation, and it's looking like some buyers might be bottom-fishing here.
If we simply look at pure price on the daily chart, the clarity of importance around this $40 level is easy to see. This was the gap -- nay, the crater -- left in the wake of the January disappointment. It's clear there has been no action between $40 and $58 when we look to the left of the chart at the volume by price. This creates the potential for a vacuum. It also represents the possibility of volatility in the air pocket. There won't be a recent past to glean information for trading, but we do know $40 will become support, as well as the current bull flag highlighted in yellow. Given the $10 move in the recent bullish channel, the minimum upside expectation here is $43.33 with a high side of $50. This is one where I don't expect the gap to be filled in the near term, but $3 to $5 is a very reasonable expectation.
The longer-term weekly chart is just as ugly in retrospect, but also optimistic in the near-term. Note how we see the same $40 resistance level, but now we can trace it back to 2014. That lends credence to the thesis that a move to about $40 could give a kick higher. We're seeing a bullish cross on the MACD, the five-week simple moving average (SMA) has crossed above the 13-week SMA as well. The full stochastics has already crossed over bullish and did so while oversold. It's now pushed over $50, which has been a positive sign in the past.
Finally, the StochRSI is very strong, along with the Chaikin Oscillator, so momentum and volume appear to be working. A longer-term trend has to be willing to give this $5 or even $10 to the downside, so it can't be seen as anything other than a small, aggressive position; however, there is a $10 to $15 upside over the next six to 12 months against a smaller downside and a lot of pessimism already factored into the name.
I'm taking a small, speculative long position with the idea of a swing trade at the very minimum. I would take profits into $45 no matter the timeframe; however, if we do nothing over the next few weeks I'll look to use the 13-week SMA as a stop.

Freddie Mac unveils new program to keep rents affordable for low income families
August 9, 2018 by Mike Wheatley
Freddie Mac is offering up a new program aimed at investors that aims to keep rents more affordable to working families.
The mortgage giant said the new Mezzanine Loan pilot program is designed to incentivize investors to keep rents low for working families without any federal, state or municipal subsidy via favorable loan pricing. Under the program, multifamily property owners will be entitled to favorable pricing and additional debt capital, so long as they keep the majority of their rents affordable for low and moderate income families.
“Once again, Freddie Mac Multifamily is using its industry leadership to find creative ways to create and preserve rental units that are affordable to working families in communities across the United States,” said David Brickman, executive vice president and head of Freddie Mac Multifamily.
“The Workforce Housing and Targeted Affordable Mezzanine Loan offerings provide low-cost financing that incentivizes property owners to keep units affordable for working families, while limiting rent growth over the term of the loan,” Brickman added. “At a time when rents continue to price families out of markets, this initiative gives us the opportunity to test a new solution to a persistent challenge.”
Freddie said the Mezzanine Loan program will operate as a subordinate loan and deliver additional debt capital that’s needed to bridge the gap between borrower’s equity and the first lien mortgage amount. Borrowers will then receive favorable pricing in exchange for limiting rent growth on 80 percent of their units, and keeping them at levels affordable to working families for the life of the loan.
Rents would be checked on an annual basis to ensure compliance, and those that fail to do so would be charged a penalty fee and ordered to return rents to compliant levels.
The Mezzanine loan-to-value ratio can only be 10% above the LTV of the Freddie Mac first mortgage loan, or up to 15% for experienced nonprofits with a history of successful multifamily property operations. The total combined LTV cannot exceed 90%.
“This offering brings our innovative approach to market challenges together with our best-in-class execution to deliver affordable housing to every corner of the multifamily market,” Brickman said. “Most important, it has the potential to help address challenges of access and affordability for working families across the country.”

Brickbat: Lick It Up
Charles Oliver | 12.27.2019 4:00 AM
(Comzeal / Dreamstime.com)
Honolulu police officer John Rabago has pleaded guilty to depriving a homeless man of his civil rights. Rabago admitted in court he told the man he would be arrested if he did not lick a public restroom urinal. Officers had responded to a nuisance call at the restroom. Rabago and another officer shut the door and Rabago told the man to lick the urinal. According to court documents, after the man licked the urinal, Rabago came out of the restroom and bragged to other officers about what he had done, saying it was similar to a time he had told a "man that he would avoid arrest only if he stuck his head in a toilet." Rabago faces up to 30 months in prison.

Maybe the judge will offer him a deal if he wants to stay out of prison at the same rate as the homeless guy, one day equals one urinal lick.

I think that’s a great idea, but Mr. 8A disagrees. Sadly.
8A has no more authority than 1A, 2A, 4A, etc. All are regularly ignored with impunity. About the only one not distorted is 3A.
We’re talking about a cop. You know, the only people who are actually treated as innocent until proven guilty? The BOA doesn’t apply to peasants, but the king’s men have full rights.

The Eighth Amendment bans punishments that are “cruel and unusual”.
Being sentenced to lick a toilet would definitely be “unusual” but in the context, I don’t think it would meet the element of “cruel” necessary to trigger an Eighth Amendment ban.
In fact, given what often happens to cops in prison, there is a strong argument that licking a toilet would be a lot less cruel than jail time.
December.27.2019 at 1:41 pm
“given what often happens to cops in prison…”
Justice?
Oh, I agree that it would be justice. But so would being sentenced to the same thing that the cop did to an innocent victim.

Confident enough to brag about it implies he either thinks the police have the authority and power to abuse people, or he believes he’ll get away with it. Only government employees treat people this way, with the exception of occasional mentally disturbed people.
It’s in Honolulu, a Democrat stronghold. I have to say, Democrats are treating these homeless people, better than they’re treating Trump. I’d rather lick a urinal than pay Trump’s legal bills for dealing with Democrat investigations based on made up dossiers and leakers of fake info pretending to be whistleblowers. Obama didn’t call them whistleblower, he prosecuted them for violating the Espionage Act and revealing secrets he didn’t want revealed.

Homogenous demineralized dentin matrix and platelet-rich plasma for bone tissue engineering in cranioplasty of diabetic rabbits: biochemical, radiographic, and histological analysis
This study evaluated the effects of homogenous demineralized dentin matrix (HDDM) slices and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in surgical defects created in the parietal bones of alloxan-induced diabetic rabbits, treated with a guided bone regeneration technique. Biochemical, radiographic, and histological analyses were performed. Sixty adult New Zealand rabbits were divided into five groups of 12: normoglycaemic (control, C), diabetic (D), diabetic with a PTFE membrane (DM), diabetic with a PTFE membrane and HDDM slices (DM–HDDM), and diabetic with PTFE membrane and PRP (DM–PRP). The quantity and quality of bone mass was greatest in the DM–HDDM group (respective radiographic and histological analyses: at 15 days, 71.70 ± 16.50 and 50.80 ± 1.52; 30 days, 62.73 ± 16.51 and 54.20 ± 1.23; 60 days, 63.03 ± 11.04 and 59.91 ± 3.32; 90 days, 103.60 ± 24.86 and 78.99 ± 1.34), followed by the DM–PRP group (respective radiographic and histological analyses: at 15 days 23.00 ± 2.74 and 20.66 ± 7.45; 30 days 31.92 ± 6.06 and 25.31 ± 5.59; 60 days 25.29 ± 16.30 and 46.73 ± 2.07; 90 days 38.10 ± 14.04 and 53.38 ± 9.20). PRP greatly enhanced vascularization during the bone repair process. Abnormal calcium metabolism was statistically significant in the DM–PRP group ( P < 0.001) for all four time intervals studied, especially when compared to the DM–HDDM group. Alkaline phosphatase activity was significantly higher in the DM–HDDM group ( P < 0.001) in comparison to the C, D, and DM–PRP groups, confirming the findings of intense osteoblastic activity and increased bone mineralization. Thus, HDDM promoted superior bone architectural microstructure in bone defects in diabetic rabbits due to its effective osteoinductive and osteoconductive activity, whereas PRP stimulated angiogenesis and red bone marrow formation.
The goal of bone tissue engineering (BTE) is to create bone grafts that enhance bone repair following trauma, infection, or neoplasm, and for developmental abnormalities; these procedures represent a challenge in maxillomandibular complex surgery.
To obtain effective bone regeneration or osseointegration the following are necessary: osteoprogenitor and osteoconductive cells, which offer potential to differentiate and facilitate the various stages of bone regeneration, growth factors, structural integrity with the absence of any kind of local infection, and, in long bones, mechanical immobilization.
Many strategies have been used to accelerate bone repair or to act as an alternative bioactive material scaffold, including demineralized dentin matrix (DDM) and platelet-rich plasma (PRP). PRP contains several proteins that are of great benefit in wound healing. These proteins regulate cell migration and proliferation (mitogenesis), remodel the extracellular matrix, and promote angiogenesis, creating a favourable environment that quickly stimulates tissue repair and wound healing.
Various studies on the complications of diabetes mellitus have demonstrated extensive alterations to bone and mineral metabolism, causing diabetic osteopenia. Some of the factors that have been associated with the pathogenesis of this bone disorder include hyperglycaemia, oxidative stress, and body weight loss. Thus, hyperglycaemia may exert its detrimental effects on bone cells by increasing oxidative stress, characterized by a high level of reactive oxygen species (ROS), causing an imbalance in intracellular reduction–oxidation and, as a consequence, inducing cellular dysfunction. Accumulating evidence also suggests that mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are adversely affected by hyperglycaemia, which compromises their differentiation and function and may result in low bone turnover and formation. Additionally, researchers have reported that diabetes decreases the percentage of osteoclasts and osteoblasts, enhances apoptosis of osteoblasts, and reduces osteocalcin synthesis, leading to significant bone loss and a delay in dynamics of the bone regeneration process. In a study by Vieira et al., diabetes mellitus was induced experimentally in rabbits with monohydrate alloxan and this triggered noticeable oral and general clinical complications, including weight loss, polyuria, polyphagia, and severe chronic gingivitis. Furthermore, bone repair in surgical defects was significantly impaired.
Based on these investigations, the effects of homogenous demineralized dentin matrix (HDDM) and PRP on the bone repair of calvarial defects in diabetic rabbits, using a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) membrane to accomplish the guided bone regeneration technique, were evaluated. Biochemical measurements of calcium, phosphorus, and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) in the blood plasma, measurements of optical density, and histological analyses were performed.
Sixty healthy adult New Zealand rabbits, 30 male and 30 female, with an average age of 4–6 months and an average body weight of 3.5 kg, were selected. These rabbits were divided into five groups of 12 rabbits (each with six males and six females): normoglycaemic rabbits (control, C), diabetic rabbits (D), diabetic rabbits with PTFE membrane (DM), diabetic rabbits with PTFE membrane and slices of HDDM (DM–HDDM), and diabetic rabbits with PTFE membrane and PRP (DM–PRP). The experiment was approved by the Animal Experimentation Ethics Committee of the Institute of Science and Technology – Campus São José dos Campos/UNESP.
Preparation of the biomaterials
The biomaterials used were HDDM and PRP. The HDDM was obtained from the central incisors of the normoglycaemic rabbits. This was prepared and then cut into slices of 8 μm in thickness by frozen microtomy, according to the method described by Gomes et al. The PRP was obtained from a blood sample taken from the left ventricle of the heart. This sample was placed into two 5-ml sterile test tubes containing 0.5 ml of buffered sodium citrate (anticoagulant). The blood was then centrifuged at 1200 rpm for 10 min at 20 °C. The plasma and red blood cells were separated into a sterile test tube. Next, the plasma was removed and a second centrifugation performed, identical to the first; the red blood cells located in the bottom of the test tube were discarded. After centrifugation, the plasma presented as two portions: upper (supernatant) and lower. The upper portion contained platelet-poor plasma (PPP), which was discarded; the lower portion contained PRP, which was pipetted and placed in a sterile test tube. Thereafter, the PRP was mixed with 10% calcium chloride solution (proportion 8:1) and kept in a water bath at 37 °C until it reached a gel-like consistency. This bioactive product was used in the surgical bone defect immediately after preparation. This method has been described previously by Monteiro et al.
Induction of diabetes and blood glucose measurement
Diabetes mellitus was induced by a single intravenous injection of 90 mg/kg monohydrated alloxan (Sigma-Aldrich, St Louis, MO, USA) dissolved in 5 ml of NaCl (0.15 mol/l). This was administered promptly to the anesthetized rabbit through the marginal ear vein. The animals received 10% glucose in drinking water for the first 24 h for the transient hypoglycaemia that develops after alloxan treatment and were then placed on regular rabbit chow and water. Hyperglycaemia was indicated when the blood glucose level was above 200 mg/dl. NPH human insulin (Humulin N-100; Eli Lilly do Brasil, São Paulo, Brazil) and regular human insulin (Biohulin R-100; BioBRÁS, Minas Gerais, Brazil) were administered subcutaneously to maintain a stable serum glucose level between 200 mg/dl and 350 mg/dl. The blood glucose level was monitored at 24, 48, and 72 h after alloxan treatment and three times a day thereafter until sacrifice. The animals had free access to tap water; however, the daily food ration was controlled (50 g per rabbit per day) to ensure equal intake in all diabetic groups.
Creation of bone defects
The animals underwent general anaesthesia via intramuscular xylazine (0.1 mg/dl, Rompun; Bayer, São Paulo, Brazil) and ketamine (0.25 mg/dl, Ketalar; Holliday-Scott, São Paulo, Brazil). The rabbits were shaved and an incision made, after which a circular bone defect was created surgically in the parietal bone with the aid of an 8.0-mm trephine under irrigation with 0.9% sterile saline solution. The HDDM slices were placed around the edges of the surgical bone defect promoting a haemostatic action, while the PRP was used to entirely fill the cavity ( Fig. 1 ). The PTFE membrane was placed on the external surface and floor of the bone defect in the DM, DM–HDDM, and DM–PRP groups. This membrane was placed 3 mm beyond the limits of the defect to ensure the guided bone regeneration technique. For the control, D, and DM groups, the bone defects were totally filled by a blood clot. The periosteum, muscle, and skin were then closed with 6–0 Vicryl absorbable suture (Ethicon/Johnson and Johnson, Brazil).
HDDM slices were placed around the edges of the surgical bone defect, promoting haemostatic action (a), while the PRP filled the surgical cavity entirely (b).
Three anaesthetized animals in each group were euthanized at time intervals of 15, 30, 60, and 90 days. The bone that contained the surgical defect area was fixed in 10% formalin for 72 h, decalcified in Plank–Rychlo solution (AlCl 2 ·6H 2 O (126.10 g), HCl (85 ml), HCOOH 88% (52 ml), and distilled water (500 ml)), and embedded in paraffin. Histological sections were cut to a thickness of 5 μm, stained with haematoxylin–eosin, Masson’s trichrome, and Schmorl’s stains, and described histologically.
Biochemical parameters
For the biochemical analysis, a colorimetric method was used and absorbance readings obtained using a spectrophotometer (model DU- 600B; Beckman Coulter Inc., Brea, CA, USA). Analytical reagents were also used (Labtest Diagnóstica S.A., Minas Gerais, Brazil). After the animals had been anaesthetized, a 10-ml blood sample was collected through cardiac puncture of the left ventricle, with the aid of a heparinized hypodermic syringe, and placed in an ice bath to maintain the enzymatic properties of the ALP. Subsequently, these were centrifuged at 4100 rpm for 10 min at 4 °C to obtain the plasma. Thereafter, the plasma levels of calcium (Ca), phosphorus (P), and ALP were analyzed. These samples were processed in triplicate and the average value calculated for each biochemical parameter studied.
The colorimetric methods used to measure the plasma levels of calcium, phosphorus, and ALP have been described by Moorehead and Biggs, Fiske and Subbarow, and Coleman, respectively. To determine the calcium concentration, cresolphthalein complexone calcium was measured in a spectrophotometer at a wavelength of 550 nm. For determination of the phosphorus concentration, the sample was diluted 1:5 with 10% trichloroacetic acid (TCA). The phosphomolybdate complex is reduced by ascorbic acid, producing a blue colour; this was measured in a spectrophotometer at a wavelength of 880 nm. For ALP, thymolphthalein monophosphate substrate was used; after its hydrolysis the thymolphthalein is released, indicating the activity of this enzyme. The absorbance of this process was measured in a spectrophotometer at a wavelength of 590 nm.
To obtain digital radiographic images of the specimens, a sensor-type image plate (charge-coupled device; Trophy Radiologie, Vincennes, France) was used, and the radiographs were exposed at a fixed focal distance (ffd) of 40 cm and settings of 7 mAs and 65 kVp. The sensor plate images were read by the software VixWin 1.9 (Gendex Dental Systems, Hatfield, PA, USA) and these images were transferred to a computer according to bone mineral density features. Measurements of these digital images were made by software that allows the measurement of 256 grey-scale levels (Aldus Photo Styler 2.0; Kodak). One observer measured the optical density of each radiographic image three times at intervals of 5 days; the average value was then used in the statistical analysis.
Histomorphometry
For histomorphometric analysis, a Zeiss II reticule was placed over a compensation microscope (10×, W-PI; Carl Zeiss, Oberkochen, Germany) to measure the quantity of new bone tissue. The reticule image was superimposed on the desired histological field. The reticule points ( Ni ) and the total number of points over the bone defect ( N ) were counted. The amount of newly formed bone tissue was evaluated through the following formula: bone mass = Ni / N . Approximately 100 sections were obtained from each bone defect selected for examination. Of these sections, four were chosen at random for the histomorphometric analysis. Subsequently, eight histological fields from the surgical bone defect region were analyzed. For this step, a 20× objective lens (A-Plan; Carl Zeiss) and a 10× ocular lens (W-PI; Carl Zeiss) were attached to an optical microscope (Axioskop 40; Carl Zeiss). The objective showed a 100-point reticule encompassing a bone tissue area of 7840 μm 2 . This method has been described by Gomes et al.
Standard deviations of 3, 5, and 7 units were obtained by means of a pilot study for the biochemistry, optical density, and histomorphometry analyses, respectively, using Minitab software version 17.1.0 (Minitab Inc., State College, PA, USA). From these values, five animals per group were deemed necessary for each observation period ( n = 4) in order to attain 80% test power.
Quantitative results, expressed as the mean and standard deviation (SD), were submitted to analysis of variance (one-way ANOVA) and the Tukey test using GraphPad InStat software version 5.0 for Windows 7 (GraphPad Software, San Diego, CA, USA). The level of significance was set at P < 0.05.
Histomorphological analysis
For the C group, the bone defect was found to be filled with connective tissue with osteogenic activity and a few immature bone trabeculae. The bone trabeculae were localized mainly at the periphery and were growing towards the centre of the defect; however some islets of new bone tissue were also randomly evident. Undesirable tissues could be found inside the defect. The band of newly formed bone at the defect site was thin when compared with the original cortical bone ( Fig. 2 a).
The surgical bone defect region after 15 days. The limits of the surgical bone defects are indicated by the arrows. The bone defect was filled with connective tissue and newly formed bone trabeculae, which were distributed in variable proportions in the following groups: (a) control, (b) D, (c) DM, (d) DM–HDDM, and (e) DM–PRP; haematoxylin–eosin.
For the D group, the histological features were similar to those of the C group; however there was a reduced amount of newly formed bone trabeculae ( Fig. 2 b).
For the DM group, the defect was filled with immature bone trabeculae and osteogenic connective tissue; nevertheless remnants of the blood clot and granulation tissue were still found at the centre of the defect. The PTFE membrane acted as a biological barrier to the undesirable tissues and presented osteoconductive properties. The band of new bone tissue was of about the same thickness as the original cortical bone ( Fig. 2 c).
For the DM–HDDM group, the defect was filled with numerous immature bone trabeculae and osteogenic connective tissue. These trabeculae were largely found at the periphery and were growing rapidly towards the centre of the bone defect ( Fig. 2 d). The HDDM slices were surrounded by numerous osteoblasts, osteoprogenitor cells, and osteoid tissue, as well as being incorporated within the newly formed bone tissue. Additionally, osteoclasts were found on the surface of the HDDM slices, promoting their resorption ( Fig. 3 ). No sign of rejection of the HDDM was observed.
Performance of the HDDM inside the bone defect after 15 days: (a) connective tissue (★) showing numerous osteoblasts (arrows) with intense osteogenic activity; (b) resorption of the HDDM slices by osteoclasts (arrow-heads) and deposition of osteoid tissue (OT) by osteoblasts (arrows) on the surface of the HDDM; and (c) HDDM slices (arrows) incorporated into the newly formed bone tissue; haematoxylin–eosin.
For the DM–PRP group, the defect was filled with dense and loose connective tissue and a few thin newly formed bone trabeculae in a linear arrangement ( Fig. 2 e). Dense connective tissue showed osteogenic activity, whereas the loose tissue presented myxoid features and angiogenic activity. The myxoid tissue consisted of delicate collagen fibres, numerous spindle cells, and a large amount of extracellular amorphous matrix. The bone trabeculae were mostly at the periphery of the bone defect, growing towards its centre. The band of new bone tissue at the defect site was inferior in relation to the original cortical bone.
For the C group, the defects were filled with bone trabeculae and osteogenic connective tissue. These trabeculae were mature at the periphery and immature at the centre of the bone defect, thus centripetal bone growth was seen. The band of neoformed bone was thinner than the original cortical bone.
For the D group, the defect was filled with immature bone trabeculae and osteogenic connective tissue. The amount and arrangement of the new bone trabeculae were very similar to those of the C group sections.
For the DM group, the histological features were also similar to the C group. The osteogenic connective tissue was well-organized, showing collagen fibres parallel to each other. Immature bone marrow tissue was located mainly at the periphery of the defect. The band of newly formed bone tissue had about the same thickness as the original cortical bone.
For the DM–HDDM group, the defect was almost entirely filled with new bone trabeculae. Thick bone trabeculae and bone marrow tissue with reduced spaces were seen. HDDM slices had been incorporated within the newly formed bone tissue. Remnants of the odontoblastic process were in evidence inside the HDDM slices on Schmorl staining. Numerous osteoblasts populated the surface of the HDDM, promoting deposition of newly formed bone matrix.
For the DM–PRP group, the defect was filled with immature bone trabeculae, connective tissue with myxoid and osteogenic features ( Fig. 4 a ), and bone marrow tissue. The bone trabeculae showed a uniform, delicate, linear arrangement in parallel with the PTFE membrane, showing its osteoconductive properties. Very intense vascularization was evident, due to the angiogenic activity of the connective tissue which was stimulated by the PRP. As a consequence, there was a rapid formation of bone marrow tissue that was mainly located in the central portion of the bone defect ( Fig. 4 b). The band of newly formed bone tissue was uniform and of similar thickness to the original cortical bone.
Effects of the PRP in the bone defect region after 30 days: (a) connective tissue with myxoid (M) and osteogenic (O) features surrounding the newly formed bone trabeculae (BT); and (b) connective tissue showing intense angiogenic activity stimulating formation of bone marrow (★), located especially in the central portion of the defect; haematoxylin–eosin and Masson’s trichrome.
For the C group, the defect was mostly filled by mature bone tissue, which was distributed regularly throughout; however some osteogenic connective tissue areas were still evident. Several osteoclasts were present, in order to start the bone remodelling process. The band of new bone tissue was thinner than the original cortical bone.
For the D group, the defect was largely filled with dense connective tissue and discrete bone trabeculae that were distributed randomly. The connective tissue was fibrous and disorganized due to the irregular arrangement of the collagen fibres. The bone trabeculae were mature at the periphery but immature at the centre of the bone defect. The amount of new bone tissue remained lower in comparison to the other groups. In some sections, undesirable tissues were still found inside the defect region.
For the DM group, the defect was filled with new bone tissue and dense connective tissue with numerous collagen fibres. The features of bone maturation and its appearance were similar to those of the D group. The bone trabeculae were distributed regularly, showing centripetal growth. The band of new bone tissue was of the same thickness as the original cortical bone.
For the DM–HDDM group, the bone defect was totally filled with mature bone trabeculae and bone marrow tissue. These trabeculae were well-delimited and distributed irregularly. The cortical bone of the bone defect area was not well-structured. Some HDDM slices were still incorporated inside the new bone tissue. The bone marrow spaces were large and mostly filled with yellow bone marrow. A panoramic view showed that the thickness of the defect region was higher than the limits of the original cortical bone.
For the DM–PRP group, the defect was filled with new bone trabeculae, bone marrow tissue, and connective tissue with osteogenic and angiogenic activities. The bone trabeculae were mature at the periphery but immature at the centre of the bone defect area. They were also distributed irregularly and were interconnected. The medullary spaces were large and filled mainly with red bone marrow. In some sections, connective tissue with myxoid features was still found. A panoramic view showed that the thickness of the bone defect region was similar to the original cortical bone.
For the C group, the defect was filled with mature bone trabeculae, some fibrous connective tissue, and medullary spaces of variable size. Rare islets of newly formed bone trabeculae were also found. In all specimens, undesirable tissue was seen; therefore the thickness of the cortical bone was not preserved ( Fig. 5 a ).

For the D group, the defect area was filled with connective and new bone tissue. There was a high amount of fibrous connective tissue, which was distributed across the entire bone defect region. Very few haversian systems were in evidence. Undesirable tissues were present in all histological sections and consequently the cortical bone was thin ( Fig. 5 b).
For the DM group, the defect was filled with mature bone tissue, red and yellow bone marrow, and fibrous connective tissue. The new bone tissue was well-organized, showing thick and regular bone trabeculae distributed across the whole defect area. The cortical bone of the surgical defect region was preserved in comparison with the original cortical bone ( Fig. 5 c).
For the DM–HDDM group, the defect region was completely filled with mature bone trabeculae and bone marrow ( Fig. 5 d). Even though its architectural microstructure was reconstructed, new bone tissue presented exophytic growth. The physiological conversion from red to yellow bone marrow was clearly evident, and the medullary spaces were large and regular. The resorption process of the HDDM slices presented the following phases: (1) the dentin matrix was first incorporated into the newly formed bone tissue; (2) next, the dentin was degraded during bone remodelling; and (3) the area in which the dentin matrix was located was replaced by new bone tissue ( Fig. 6 ).

Phases of the HDDM degradation during the bone remodelling process: HDDM in degradation (arrow), exchange of HDDM by well-cellularized and immature bone tissue with remnants of dentin matrix (★), and replacement of the pre-existing HDDM by mature bone tissue (arrow-heads) (Schmorl’s stain).
For the DM–PRP group, the defect was filled with mature bone trabeculae, bone marrow, and fibrous connective tissue that was located mainly in the central portion. The medullary spaces were large and filled predominantly by red bone marrow. The bone trabeculae showed a regular, homogeneous, linear arrangement. The thickness of the defect area slightly exceeded the limits of the original cortical bone in most of the specimens ( Fig. 5 e).
Statistical results
To interpret the statistical results of the effects of HDDM and PRP on the bone repair process in diabetic rabbit calvarial defects, as shown in the tables, statistical significance was considered at the levels P < 0.05, P < 0.01, and P < 0.001; significance was mainly shown for the DM–HDDM and DM–PRP groups. In the tables, the five groups are represented by the following lowercase letters: C (a), D (b), DM (c), DM–HDDM (d), and DM–PRP (e). The letters ‘abcde’ indicate the statistical significance in relation to the experimental groups; where a group of these letters is found, the result for the group represented by the first letter is statistically significant in relation to the others.
The blood plasma levels of calcium, phosphorus, and ALP were quantified for the diabetic rabbits after creation of the calvarial bone defect that was treated with HDDM or PRP in the guided bone regeneration technique.
With regard to the calcium concentration, the DM–HDDM group presented a low plasma level and steady state when compared to the other groups. The DM–PRP group showed statistical significance in relation to the DM–HDDM and DM groups ( P < 0.001) for all periods, D group at 15 days ( P < 0.001) and 30 days ( P < 0.01), and the C group at 90 days ( P < 0.001). The D group presented a statistical difference in relation to the C and DM–HDDM groups at 60 days ( P < 0.001) and the C, DM, and DM–HDDM groups at 90 days ( P < 0.001). For the phosphorus concentration, there was steady state in the plasma levels of the experimental groups for all studied periods; therefore no significant difference was found among the groups. For ALP enzymatic activity, the DM–HDDM group showed a statistical difference when compared with the C, D, and DM–PRP groups for all periods ( P < 0.001), whereas for the DM–PRP group this was statistically significant only in relation to the D group at 15 days ( P < 0.05), 30 days and 60 days ( P < 0.01), and 90 days ( P < 0.001). Moreover, the DM group ( P < 0.001) presented expressive statistical difference in relation to the C, D, and DM-PRP groups at all periods, with exception of the DM-HDDM group in the periods of 30 days, 60 days, and 90 days ( Table 1 ).

Optical density analysis
When the parietal bone fragments were removed during the creation of the bone defects in the healthy rabbits (C group), six fragments were selected at random to obtain the standard optical density of the original parietal bone. The digital radiographic images were measured and the mean value was found to be 81.21 ± 16.56. The DM–HDDM group showed variable statistical significance in relation to the other groups. The differences between the DM–HDDM group and the C group ( P < 0.05), D and DM groups ( P < 0.01), and DM–PRP group ( P < 0.001) at 15 days were statistically significant. At 30 days the difference was significant for the D group ( P < 0.01). At 60 days the difference was significant for the D group ( P < 0.01) and DM–PRP group ( P < 0.05), and at 90 days it was significant for the C, D, and DM groups ( P < 0.001) and the DM–PRP group ( P < 0.01) ( Table 2 ). The DM–HDDM group showed the highest optical density value for the bone defect area when compared with the standard optical density of the original parietal bone at 90 days. Additionally, well-defined and round, radiolucent areas of a large size and with irregular limits were found in some diabetic rabbits. This bone rarefaction was distributed particularly in the frontal and occipital bones, suggesting diabetic osteoporosis. These radiographic features were present mainly at 60 and 90 days.

Longevity of dental implants in type IV bone: a systematic review
Bone quality and quantity are important factors with regard to the survival rate of dental implants. The aim of this study was to conduct a systematic review of dental implants inserted in low-density bone and to determine the survival rate of dental implants with surface treatments over time. A systematic review of the literature was undertaken by two independent individuals; the Medline/PubMed database was searched for the period July 1975 to March 2013. Relevant reports on bone quality and osseointegration of dental implants were selected. The search retrieved 1018 references, and after inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied, 19 studies were selected for review. A total of 3937 patients, who had received a total of 12,465 dental implants, were analyzed. The survival rates of dental implants according to the bone density were: type I, 97.6%; type II, 96.2%; type III, 96.5%; and type IV, 88.8%. The survival rate of treated surface implants inserted in low-density bone was higher (97.1%) than that of machined surface implants (91.6%). Surface-treated dental implants inserted in low-density bone have a high survival rate and may be indicated for oral rehabilitation. However, more randomized studies are required to better evaluate this issue.
Currently, the predictability of oral rehabilitations using dental implants is high. Dental implants have been used for overdentures, fixed partial and total dentures, and maxillofacial prostheses, as well as immediate dental loading. However, with regard to the rehabilitation of low density bone, great diversity exists among dental implants from different companies, with different surface treatments and connections.
The dental implant survival rate may be related to the quality and quantity of bone in the dental arch. There are various classifications for the quality and quantity of bone reported in the literature, including the bone type (I–IV) and density (heavy or soft), as well as type V bone. Lekholm and Zarb established a precursor classification for organizing bone tissue into four categories with different degrees of density. This classification allowed the quality of bone tissue to be related to the stability of an implant. Furthermore, it is possible to develop instruments and surgical techniques appropriate for each specific situation. In the previous decade, Bahat proposed a subdivision of the classification of type IV bone, referring to bone type V in situations with a complete absence of cortical tissue (upper and lower). Moreover, there is a classification that considers the bone as dense (high-density), normal (moderate-density), or soft (low-density). One of the main methods used to determine the density of bone tissue is based on the perception of the clinician at the time of preparation of the surgical bed.
There is no agreement among researchers about the predictability of dental implants inserted in low-density bone. Some prospective studies have reported survival rates and bone loss to be similar for implants inserted in poor-quality bone and in good-quality bone. Also, surface treatments can improve the survival rate of dental implants in type IV bone, enhancing osseointegration, and this may be related to bone quality and quantity and associated systemic factors.
Surface-treated dental implants may show a better survival rate in poor-quality bone. However, this improvement has yet to be demonstrated with certainty. Previous studies that have evaluated dental implants with machined surfaces in excellent-quality bone have found a high predictability for rehabilitation. However, when analyzed under conditions of low-density bone, this surface was found to have a higher propensity to fail.
Therefore, a study to assess patients who have received dental implants performed with the PICO design (participants, interventions, comparisons, and outcomes) is warranted, in order to determine the predictability of implants inserted in poor-quality bone and the longevity of rehabilitation with surface-treated implants. Two hypotheses were tested: (1) the survival rate of dental implants inserted in low-density bone is lower than that in better quality bone (types I–III) and (2) the survival rate of treated surface implants in low-density bone is higher compared to machined surface implants.
The authors selected the articles based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. All disagreements were resolved through discussion, and decisions were made by consensus. This systematic review was performed in accordance with the PRISMA statement, and also followed models proposed in the literature.
A search of the English language literature was conducted by two independent individuals (MCG and JFSJ) using the PubMed/Medline database, covering the period July 1975 to March 2013. The keywords ‘dental implants’ and ‘quality bone’ were used. A broad search strategy was pursued. Studies were selected based on their titles and abstracts according to the exclusion criteria for abstracts and full-text articles. Agreement between the readers was determined statistically, and any conflicts were resolved by discussion or analysis of a third reader (EPP). This procedure was applied at all selection steps. The full-text articles were evaluated by the readers using a pilot test form. The authors of the articles were not contacted.
The studies were selected on the basis of their titles and abstracts; prospective and retrospective studies as well as randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were included. The total sample of selected studies was then evaluated and studies were included or excluded. Participants, interventions, comparisons, and outcomes (PICO), according to the PRISMA statement, were determined to organize a clear clinical question and to focus on suitability for inclusion. ‘Participants’ were patients who had been rehabilitated with dental implants. The ‘intervention’ was dental implants inserted in poor-quality bone (type IV or soft). ‘Comparisons’ were dental implants inserted in normal-density bone and types I–III bone. Finally, ‘outcomes’ evaluated were the survival rate and suitable protocols for implant placement.
Inclusion/exclusion criteria
The inclusion criteria for the studies were the following: English language; more than five patients who received dental implants in poor-quality bone (type IV), according to the Lekholm and Zarb classification, or in soft bone; survival rates of dental implants reported. In addition, these studies had to show comparison parameters (control group) with types I to III bone or normal-density bone. Thus, we included studies that used the classification of Lekholm and Zarb (bone types I–IV), the classification of Bahat, who added bone type V, and the classification by Trisi and Rao, cited by Testori et al., which categorizes the bone type as dense, normal, or soft.
The exclusion criteria were the following: duplicated studies; animal studies; studies of patients during orthodontic treatment; mini-implants; studies related to advanced bone reconstruction surgery; zygomatic implants; studies showing only soft tissue grafting; peri-implantitis; in vitro assays and biomechanical studies; reported cases including patients with osteoporosis, bisphosphonates, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and cleft palate; studies showing only prosthesis fabrication without analysis of the bone tissue characteristics; studies that analyzed only primary stability; studies evaluating magnetic resonance and computed tomography images without verifying bone quality; and systematic reviews.
Reliability and quality assessment
The assessment of the quality of the methodology was performed in accordance with the PRISMA statement. The studies were ranked in categories as follows: RCTs, prospective studies, and retrospective studies. Independent researchers conducted the development of the systematic review; the different studies were analyzed and discussed, and disagreements were resolved. The assessment of risk quality and bias was performed to eliminate studies that concealed data on bone quality and did not define success criteria for dental implants.
The following data were collected for each article: first author, year, study design, implant surfaces, number of patients, age, where the implants were inserted, implant geometry, implant number, follow-up, type of oral prosthesis, survival rate in different bone types (I–IV) or by bone density (normal and soft), and number of lost implants. Studies reported results for type IV bone compared to other bone types (I–III) for rehabilitation with dental implants. The data collected were related to the survival outcome of each study.
Data synthesis
Data were recorded qualitatively to allow comparisons among the selected studies ( N = 19). The total number of implants in low-density bone was calculated, as well as the survival rate in type IV bone compared with the other types (types I–III) or density of bone (normal and soft). Furthermore, the survival rate was calculated for treated surface implants (double etching, micro-texturing) and machined surface implants inserted in poor-quality bone.
General outcomes
The literature search of PubMed/Medline identified 1018 references; after excluding animal studies, 826 studies were selected for the data synthesis. After an analysis of the titles according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria and the elimination of duplicate references, 39 full-text papers were selected for the eligibility assessment. Some of the full-texts were then excluded: studies that showed only partial data (bone quality criteria not well defined), studies with only two categories of bone quality (good or bad, and type IV or other types), studies that evaluated type IV bone without parameters (control), and studies involving bone grafting. Therefore, after the full texts of the articles had been examined, 19 studies were included in the review. The literature research process is shown in Fig. 1 . The 19 studies selected for review were published during the period 1992–2008. The reasons for exclusion of 20 of the articles evaluated are shown in Table 1 .
Flow diagram of the literature search strategy.
Reasons for the exclusion of 20 articles.
There were no reported quality criteria or bone quantity available
Bone quality classification into only two bone types
Low-density bone analysis without comparisons with the others
Failure rate did not include bone type
Similar or duplicate data
Table 2 summarizes the main data collected in this study. Among the 19 studies, 13 were prospective studies, three were retrospective studies, and three were RCTs. The dental implant surface treatments included machined, double-etching, anodic oxidation (TiUnite), sprayed with titanium plasma (SLActive), and titanium dioxide (TiOblast). A total of 3937 patients, with a mean age of 55.2 years, were studied. The anterior regions of the maxilla and mandible were the main areas in which the dental implants were inserted ( Table 2 ).

Here’s everything we saw today during Apple’s WWDC 2020
Take a look at everything that was announced today during Apple’s WWDC 2020
Published 22 June 2020, 22:33 EDT Updated 24 June 2020, 18:13 EDT
Apple Event,
iPadOS,
Mac,
MacOS,
Today Apple went all out on its latest event. This year’s Worldwide Developers Conference announced tons of new features and gave us some great surprises. You can find a quick summary of everything we saw today below, with the whole WWDC stream if you want to watch and links that will take you to our extended coverage.
WWDC 2020 started with Apple CEO Tim Cook explaining Apple’s efforts to fight against racism, inequality, and injustice. He invites us “to aim far higher to build a future that lives up to our ideals,” while mentioning Apple’s Racial Equity and Justice Initiative, which Apple announced two weeks ago. This initiative comes with a commitment of one hundred million dollars “to challenge systemic barriers that limit the opportunity for communities of color in the critical areas of education, economic equality, and criminal justice.”
Tim Cook also addressed the current pandemic and how it’s affecting the daily lives of people around the planet. He thanked healthcare workers for their sacrifice and efforts. He also pointed out how people are relying more on Apple products to remain connected to family and friends and how these tools are now essential for work, creativity, entertainment, and more. He then explained how this week, “There will be more than a hundred engineering-led video sessions, one-on-one consultations with Apple engineers, developer forums, and so much more.” This content will be available to Apple’s entire community of 23 million developers, and anyone interested, for free.
We had received several rumors about new features in iOS 14, but we weren’t expecting to get this much. First, iOS is now more powerful and easier to use. Apple’s experience has helped them improve the user experience, even as tasks have gotten more complicated.
Major changes came in several ways with iOS 14. We now have an App Library that will help you control your apps into a more simple, organized way for you to navigate. Widgets were also announced. These will be more beautiful and data-rich, plus we get different sizes to pick the one which is best suited for our needs. Picture in Picture s another new feature that will let us keep watching whatever we want while we multi-task, and we can also pinch the video to make it smaller or larger.
Siri is now getting more power and a new compact design that won’t take over the device’s screen. You can also ask Siri to send audio messages, it will allow dictation on the device, and it will also help with Conversations to translate up to 11 languages in real-time.
Other Apps such as Messages, Apple Maps, Car Play, and the App Store are also getting new features that will make conversations more fun, going places easier and more. CarPlay is now available in 97 percent of the US and 80 percent around the world. These services will also help the App Store give you a new experience thanks to App Clips that is a new way to discover apps, services ad more.
The experience in iPadOS 14 has also received improvements, as its new experience includes designs that are exclusive to this OS. It also features the same re-designed widgets that we get in iOS14, a new sidebar that woks with Notes, Files, Music, and more.
Siri is also changing in iPadOS 14, as it won’t take over the entire screen of your iPad, and neither will calls, as the incoming call notification is now a small banner at the top of your screen. Using an Apple Pencil with your iPad will be even more satisfying, as it will make handwriting as powerful as typed text thanks to Scribble for iPad, meaning that you can write anything on your device and get text as a result.
AirPods will also get a software update that will allow users to automatically switch between devices seamlessly without having to do it manually. New features such as Spatial Audio are also coming, which will be able to recreate an authentic surround sound experience, and these wireless earbuds are also getting tracking features.
We now jump to the new OS for the Apple Watch. We start with the announcement of more than 20K WatchOS apps that are currently available in the App Store. We are also getting new re-designed watch faces, better performance in Maps, the Workout app, which now includes Dance workout. The Activity app is also getting a new name, as it will now be known as the Fitness app, but maybe the most important announcement was that the Apple Watch would finally get sleep tracking.
Apple has always focused heavily on its users, and it has also improved in this area. We get more Security Protection Transparency and control, which is available on hardware and software. Apple also mentions that you can now define to give apps only approximate location data. Users are also getting a status bar indicator to let them know which apps are using the mic or camera.
Home and tvOS
We also get upgraded features to HomeKit, which is now Open Source since Apple has partnered with Amazon, Google, and other companies to create better interaction between smart home devices. You will also cards to suggest different ways to interact with your devices and visual status at the top of your home app to get a quick bird’s eye view of something important. tvOS now supports Xbox controllers, and gaming on Apple TV now expands to multi-user support, so you can continue playing anywhere right where you left off. You will also get Apple TV app support in Sony and Vizio Smart TVs this summer.
Maybe the biggest surprise was given with macOS, as we get a new design, new symbols, consistency on icons between iOS and macOS, a new translucent menu bar, and big improvements in apps such as Messages, a new version of Maps, Mac Catalyst and Safari. Until now, the event was great, but it was just about to become amazing as Apple announced that the Mac is transitioning to Apple Silicon. This change will help Macs maximize performance while also being energy efficient.

Campaign calls De Niro comment 'inappropriate' after Gingrich blast
UPDATE 3/21: On Wednesday, Robert De Niro released the following statement through his representative: "My remarks, although spoken with satirical jest, were not meant to offend or embarrass anyone - especially the First Lady."
(CNN) – President Barack Obama's reelection organization said Tuesday it was "inappropriate" for Robert De Niro to joke at a campaign fundraiser in New York Monday that America wasn't "ready for a white first lady."
"We believe the joke was inappropriate," Olivia Alair, Campaign Press Secretary to the First Lady, said in a statement.
- Follow the Ticker on Twitter: @PoliticalTicker
The campaign's comment came after Newt Gingrich delivered a scorching response to De Niro's comments at an Obama for America fundraiser, which was attended by first lady Michelle Obama.
While Michelle Obama headlined the event, she was introduced after De Niro's remarks. The event was also attended by a number of other prominent Obama supporters, including Harvey Weinstein and Beyonce.
"Callista Gingrich. Karen Santorum. Ann Romney. Now do you really think our country is ready for a white first lady?" De Niro asked to cheers from the crowd. "Too soon, right?"
Speaking Tuesday, Gingrich labeled the comments "inexcusable," and called on Obama to apologize.
"I do want to say one thing, both on behalf of my wife and on behalf of Karen Santorum and on behalf of Ann Romney, I think that Robert De Niro's wrong," Gingrich said. "I think the country is ready for a new first lady and he doesn't have to describe it in racial terms."
Gingrich immediately clarified he thought Michelle Obama, along with the wives of his fellow GOP presidential candidates, were all "fine ladies."
"But this is not about the first lady," Gingrich continued. "It's about the president. That's where De Niro missed the whole point. De Niro is rich enough he probably doesn't notice the price of gasoline. He's successful enough he probably doesn't notice the unemployment rate. As the Hollywood actor, he might well be shortsighted enough he doesn't understand what it might do to our children and our grandchildren."
Gingrich called on Obama to apologize for the remarks, since they were made at an event raising money for his reelection.
"What De Niro said last night was inexcusable and the president should apologize for him. It was at an Obama fundraiser, it is exactly wrong, it divides the country," Gingrich said, adding that the left was quick to call out conservative talk show hosts for offensive comments but silent when the vitriol comes from the left.
"If people on the left want to talk about talk show hosts, then everybody in the country should hold the president accountable when someone at his event says something that is utterly and terrible unacceptable as what Robert De Niro said," Gingrich said.
Speaking on the Laura Ingraham Show Tuesday, fellow presidential candidate Rick Santorum largely avoided weighing in on De Niro's comments.
"It's just someone from Hollywood or someone from the entertainment industry just spouting off as they do," Santorum said. "It's sad, but I'm not going to bite on that one. It's just sad. The idea of looking at politics through eyes of race should be over. That's just over. I don't know where he thinks he's coming from."

Death To Muggles
Why would Obama apologize when De Niro made the remark ?
I also dont get why people are upset.
Before Michelle Obama became the first "black" lady of the white house,
every single woman before her was white.
Its a fact, and a harmless joke.
Lighten up people.
Baranga the Great
Michelle is a fine, beautiful, sumptuous choclate skinned goddess...that is all...
the liberal war on white women must stop. Shame on Michelle Obama for not speaking out when DeNiro uttered his ignorant statement and attacked Ann Romney, a breast cancer survivor and MS sufferer, BY NAME! DeNiro doesn't likes strong white women.
Anyone who saw the last fockker movie already hates DeNiro.
when De Niro lies, for 3-straight hours, for 3-straight days, while simultaneously being the head of the democratic party, i will begin to take this criticism seriously. until then, read your bibles and suck on your guns, you dead-end losers.
R-a-c-e is as obvious as a fist in your face. Why pretend it doesn't exist?
IIf De Niro's remark is "inexcusable" - what is the point of demanding an apology from Pres. Obama? Besides logic, after cheating on all his wifes Newt is not in the position to lecture others on decency.
But the main point is this : Where is the evidence that the ladies mentioned are not and were not palling around with terrorists? Where are their birth certificates? Where is the proof that they are not as "angry" and "bitter" as Sarah Palin or Michele Bachmann.
Keep going Robert, you're on the right track when morons like Gingrich insist on the victimhood, paranoia, and double standards of the conservatives.
These Republicans need to grow up. Was it a smart thing to say? Of course not. I'm sure every seasoned politician within hearing either cringed or salivated depending on party, but NOBODY with any business trying to get the job of the guy that presses the "red button" had better have skin that thin. We are living in a time where context of speaker, occassion, and any other mitigating factor or circumstance is irrelevant or at least a distant second to scoring cheap poltical points...at the people's expense.
IIIIf De Niro's remark is "inexcusable" – what is the point of demanding an apology from Pres. Obama? Besides logic, after cheating on all his wifes Newt is not in the position to lecture others on decency.
C. Risley
newt, newt, newt, really I would think America is far more accepting of a beautiful black first lady, instead of your pointy nose third woman....who in no way will ever be a "first lady"...
The Obamas 2012!
the king of mean calling on someone else to apologize...... how often does the GOP say horrid things they later describe as a joke, just palin alone...... I think the comment is more about JUST how white these GOP candidates and their wives are and dinero has a point moreover I don't see how the comment was THAT insulting, it was ridiculous and delivered AS a joke
BLKMANinAmerica
Newt.............................REALLY? Get a life, I mean De Nero made the comment so really what's wrong? It kills me that only white people can make comments about white people? R U serious? De Nero said it, you don't like it, SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WHAT!
What De Niro said is inexcusable. However, Newtie, hasn't demanded that Limbaugh apologize for calling Fluke a slut and a prostitute. But, he wants the POTUS to apologize for what someone else said. What a tool.
cathstar
Newt Gingrich is beyond stupid! Why should President Obama apologize for something DeNiro said? Why didn't Newt demand that DeNiro apologize? Probably afraid to! And Newt should recognize that there is no way in hell that his "current" wife will be First Lady of this country. He should pull out of the race now and save himself further embarrassment.
32mMD
The liberals are always playing the race card. They continue to divide this country.
bettyboop33
America is NOT ready for any of the GOP candidates to become elected as POTUS. Romney: flipflopper, Gingrich: in love with himself, Santorum: Religious extremist who is trying to undermine women's rights, Paul: ideas could return us to the days of Hoover and nobody liked Hoover. Currently our POTUS Barack Obama will be re-elected as a result of the fact that the GOP do not have a candidate capable enough to defeat him. Beautiful and classy Michelle Obama will continue to be our FLOTUS! Great news for America.
Phony thy name is Republican
The picture looks like he's trying to touch her hair to see if it's really as hard as it looks.
Enough with the phony outrage. It was a harmless joke.
NooYawkah
Everybody knows De Niro has perpetual Jungle Fever.
Gingrich should have nothing to say – He treats women worse than McCain does
@Demarco, you are so on point. The sarcasm in DeNiro's comment was completely lost on most people...I don't recall anyone being appalled and asking for apologies when the question of "Is America Ready for a Black President" was being asked. And why is Newt asking Obama to apologize for a comment that DeNiro made? So petty and not relevant...focus on your campaign, Newt...and find something more constructive to do...like figuring out (and then telling us) exactly how you plan to get gas down to $2.50/gallon.
I'm not ready! He is right, he must of been speaking for me, I AM NOT READY!!!
MaxNatoma
What I find interesting is how quickly Newt jumped on this compared to how slowly he criticized Limbaugh for his attack on Sandra Fluke. What does that say?
DeNiro was clearly trying to make a joke. Obviously, it makes people uncomfortable.

Why Doesn’t VW Discount The GTI?
Justin Hughes
As I’ve mentioned before, my top contenders for my next daily driver are the Subaru WRX, Ford Focus ST, and Volkswagen GTI. The GTI is the most upscale and refined of the three, but the Focus ST is much better than I expected, giving the GTI a good run in the comfort department. But the GTI is significantly more expensive than the Ford and the Subaru, and despite VW falling on tough times thanks to Dieselgate, they’re not cutting any price breaks on their hot hatch. Why not?
GTI vs. Focus ST
With its sedan body and all-wheel-drive, let’s leave out the WRX and compare the hot hatches instead. The most basic FoST starts at $22,050, more than $3,500 less than the $25,595 GTI S. Set up the way I like, the Ford with the 402A equipment group and optional wheels like my press car had comes to $27,540. The GTI Sport package comes close my dream FoST’s price at $27,995, but has plaid cloth seats rather than leather. At least they’re heated, and if you’re going to have cloth seats in a GTI, the classic plaid like the original is mandatory in my book. But you can’t get leather seats in a GTI until you step up to the SE for $30,890. And that’s not even the top of the line model – that would be the Autobahn, starting at $34,095. A fully loaded Autobahn ($36,010) is only $3,335 less than the Golf R starting at $39,375.
Higher end models of the GTI do offer equipment that’s not available at all in the Focus ST, like a DSG transmission (the FoST is manual only), and Dynamic Chassis Control to stiffen or soften your suspension on the fly. The higher prices for models equipped this way are justified. Let’s assume that anyone looking for a hot hatch with these advanced features will ignore the Focus and go straight toward a high end GTI or a Golf R. But there’s still a huge price gap between the base models, and between a top of the line FoST compared to a comparably equipped mid-range GTI.
Look At The Numbers
One might think that with all the bad Dieselgate publicity that VW dealers would be chomping at the bit to move cars off their lots, offering steep discounts to compensate for their tarnished name. My first thought when the news of diesel emissions cheating broke last year was “Ooo, maybe I can get a cheap GTI.” But that hasn’t turned out to be the case. The prices I cited above are current prices on VW’s and Ford’s web sites at the time of this post. Dealers have not been discounting GTIs as you might expect. Why?
Sales data from GoodCarBadCar.net
A look at the GTI’s sales numbers for the past few years tells the story. The Mk. 7 GTI was introduced in June 2014 as a 2015 model. GTI sales dropped off a bit for the nearly two years leading up to its release. This is normal for any older model that’s about to be replaced. Sales took off again with the release of the Mk. 7, and have remained strong ever since.
And there’s the rub. Dieselgate erupted in September 2015, when VW sold 1825 GTIs. In response to the scandal, they sold 2520 GTIs the following month – nearly 700 more cars. VW sold a total of 16,817 GTIs between January and September 2015. For the same time period this year, they sold 17,187. Dieselgate has had absolutely no harmful effect on GTI sales whatsoever.

This kind of makes sense. The people who would buy a diesel VW are generally not the same people who would buy a performance oriented version. They’re looking for fuel economy and long range. These, and people who now reject the company on principle, are the customers who VW lost through Dieselgate.
Enthusiasts, on the other hand, have always flocked to the GTI. It’s been one of the best hot hatches out there ever since its introduction. Diesel emissions have nothing to do with it. The question we should be asking isn’t why VW isn’t discounting the GTI because of Dieselgate. The real question is, why would they? It’s one of the best things VW has going for them.

Motorists on average 4kg heavier than cyclists
Research on how people travel in seven European cities provides further evidence on health benefits of cycling and walking
by Laura Laker
Thu, Aug 11, 2016 14:22
People who drive as their main form of transport are, on average, 4kg heavier than those who cycle, according to an ongoing Europe-wide study that adds further evidence to the benefits of active travel.
Researchers from the EU-funded Physical Activity through Sustainable Transport Approaches (PASTA) project have, so far, monitored 11,000 volunteers in seven European cities, looking at how they get around the city and how much time they spend travelling.
Researchers asked participants to record their height and weight, and to provide information about their attitudes towards walking and cycling. Initial data analysis found those who drive cars as their main form of transport are, on average, 4kg heavier than those who cycle; researchers are looking for more participants in Antwerp, Barcelona, London, Orebro in Sweden, Rome, Vienna and Zurich.
Health effects of cycling outweigh pollution risks - unless you're a courier
Imperial University’s project lead, Dr Audrey de Nazelle, from the Centre for Environmental policy, said: “We don’t have cause and effect yet, but we hope this first finding will encourage more people to take part in the survey so that we can get more data over time and make a link between transport decisions and health.”
“Our research shows that factors like urban design, how we move in cities, and the use of cars, bikes or walking could all play an important role in determining the level of people’s daily physical activity.”
Dr Adrian Davis, a UK transport and health expert and member of PASTA’s advisory board, said: “People who are physically inactive are at higher risk of developing chronic diseases, such as cancer, stroke and heart attacks, as well as becoming overweight.
The researchers also want to determine how people make transport decisions, and what measures cities can take to encourage walking and cycling.
Dr de Nazelle said: “Cycling is at low levels in the UK – when you compare that to places like northern Europe you can see there’s really huge potential to increase the levels.”

Tympanic membrane temperature, hemispheric activity, and affect: Evidence for a modest relationship
Ruth E. Propper, Ashley Januszewski, Tad T. Brunyé, Stephen D. Christman
Tympanic membrane temperature (TMT) offers a methodologically simple and noninvasive means to provide a physiological measure of hemispheric activation, although the mechanisms by which it may be related to hemispheric activity are not completely known. Here, the authors examined TMT at baseline and after a mood-induction protocol. They replicate baseline associations between increased absolute difference between left and right TMT and increased anger, and found evidence for a link between increased TMT and increased ipsilateral hemispheric activation after mood-induction. They also found tentative evidence for the existence of right-lateralized emotional hyperthermia after mood-induction.

Movie Review: “Albert Nobbs”
Glenn Close is very still in her latest film — quiet, never cracking a smile. Playing a member of the staff of an upper crust Dublin hotel in the late 19th century, the idea was to be invisible. Think “Downton Abbey” or “The Remains of the Day.”
And since Albert Nobbs, the title character she plays, has a secret as obvious as “his” name, the need to be invisible is compounded, even more important than the husky voice she affects every time she opens her mouth.
“Albert Nobbs” is about a woman pretending to be a man. The film, based on a George Moore short story, requires a lot more reading between the lines and understanding of Irish history and women’s rights than it should. But this tale of a downtrodden woman who pretends to be a man because that’s the only way she can make a living and survive still makes for a poignant essay on class and gender and splendid showcase for Close, one of the best actresses never to win an Oscar.
Albert is all about quiet efficiency, knowing what regular guests of Morrison’s Hotel want and desire. He doesn’t banter with the staff, though he notices the fetching and saucy maid, Helen (Mia Wasikowska). Albert pockets his tips and counts them up each night, stashing the money before the floorboards of his spartan room.
Because Albert has a dream — a little shop, all his own, a little woman to help him run it.
The fact that Albert is a woman, binding her breasts in a corset, cutting her hair short and darkening her voice, keeps the waiter on edge. He’s terrified of being found out and losing his job.
When the boss (an imperious Pauline Collins) orders Albert to share his room with Hubert, the house painter hired to touch up the hotel, the waiter is mortified. Hubert asks the question we’re all dying to ask.
“So, why are you dressed as a fella?”
The answer isn’t all that satisfactory. And since Janet McTeer plays “Hubert,” we know we’re wading into even deeper waters about the glass ceiling of the day.
The film, co-written by Close and directed by Rodrigo Garcia (“Mother and Child”) frustrates us far beyond that dangling question and the suggestion that Albert’s practical-minded role playing (just to survive in a very poor country) has somehow impacted her sexual preference.
Albert’s clumsy attempts at courting the fetching Helen, sharing his dream with her and not realizing that she’s manipulating the introverted waiter, talking him out of gifts at the behest of her brute of a boyfriend (Aaron Johnson) are more pathetic than romantic. He is an asexual being whose disguise — that of a servant who buries feelings, desires and personality — only makes him less compelling.
Garcia and Close fill this world with terrific character players. Brendan Gleeson plays the hard-drinking doctor who lives in the Morrison, and Pauline Collins, Bronagh Gallagher, Jonathan Rhys-Meyers and Maria Doyle Kennedy people this world of poverty, class and the faint hope that “going to America” will give even the poorest of the poor hope.
But for all its texture and subtexts, “Albert Nobbs” never quite achieves the pathos it aims for or the sociology lesson it wants to teach. That keeps it from transcending the stunt of having such fine performers as Close and McTeer as cross-dressers, a stunt that’s too easy to see through to allow us to ever forget it.
MPAA Rating:R for some sexuality, brief nudity and language
Cast: Glenn Close, Mia Wasikowska, Janet McTeeer, Brenda Fricker, Brendan Gleeson
Credits: Directed by Rodrigo Garcia, scripted by John Banville and Glenn Close and based on a George Moore short story. A Roadside Attractions release. Running time: 1:53

Pauline Collins was the hotel proprietor, not Brenda Fricker (she played the cook).
