Yin Xiuzhen
dal 27/9/2006 al 10/11/2006

Alexander Ochs Galleries, Berlin
International Airport Terminal 1
Yin Xiuzhen created an installation using the roof tiles of demolished houses that once lined old Beijing hutongs for her first exhibition in Berlin in 1998. She stuck one photograph reflecting the inhabitants’ lives onto each grey tile: men repairing things, women cooking and washing, playing children...
In 2001, Yin Xiuzhen showed monumental prints in a large exhibition space and created a sound installation for the 'Living in Time' exhibition at the Hamburger Bahnhof - Museum fur Gegenwart (Berlin's museum for contemporary art). These depicted people singing on a market place, old men who had brought their birds outside and groups of people playing the board game mahjong on the street. The artist documented public spaces and cityscapes that were already in the process of disappearing because they had to make way for skyscrapers and urban motorways.
Later, Yin surprised viewers with her 'Suitcases', into which sculptures made of cloth had been sewn. Each suitcase represented the cityscape of a place that she had visited as an artist: Shanghai, Singapore, Lhasa, New York, Vancouver, Sydney and Berlin. The artist travelled the world with her 'Suitcases'. The sculptures of prominent landmarks such as the Shanghai Television Tower, the Potala Palace, the Sydney Opera House and the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin were made from used clothing: Yin Xiuzhen received the trousers, shirts, jackets and underwear from friends and fellow artists living in Shanghai, Singapore, Sydney, New York and Berlin.
Despite their formal differences, Yin Xiuzhen's works are characterised by notions of saving and documenting, of the spatial transfer of identities, of the identity of her Beijing neighbours and friends, and of the artist’s identity as a traveller.
Travel, aeroplanes and airports have been among Yin Xiuzhen's central themes for many years now. For an installation in one of Siemens’s Beijing offices, she created a room-filling aeroplane made of the white blouses and shirts of employees. After 9/11, the artist sewed and knitted 'soft weapons' out of fabric and wool. She travelled with these bombs, chemicals, pistols and knives in reaction to the increased security checks at international airports.
'Dangerous Things in Baggage', and the artist's experiences as she travelled with them, inspired her to create the gallery-filling work INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT TERMINAL 1, which will be shown for the first time in ALEXANDER OCHS GALLERIES BERLIN I BEIJING. During her last trip to Berlin, Yin Xiuzhen visited Berlin's Tempelhof Airport, threatened with closure, several times, in order to study its architecture. The gallery space will house a complete airport with check-in desks, gates, security, departure boards and conveyor belts. The invitations are in the form of plane tickets, the catalogue is a logbook. Of course, the artist remains consistent in her choice of materials: think global - act local! The old clothes from which the pieces are made were collected and bought from her neighbours in Beijing.
The exhibition will be opened by Stephanie Tasch, the purser on this flight. It lands at the newly-opened INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT TERMINAL 1 on 28th September 2006, 7 p.m. - 10 p.m. The artist will be present.

Elizabeth Morgan, née Bonney. Her birth date remains uncertain, but she was born in London, and was still a minor on 24 April 1818 when she married Thomas Morgan (1786-1862), of Dixon, Morgan and Co., wine and spirits traders. A stained glass window in St. Olave's Church, Hart Street, bears an armorial decoration commemorating the union. Elizabeth was a close friend of the novelist Jane Porter; she signed her letters to Porter with the nickname "Belinda." The Morgans had at least five children: Thomas (1819-1892), who helped run the family business in London; Francis (1820-1876), who moved to Spain to handle the family business's connections there; Aaron Augustus (1822-1888), a clergyman and Shakespeare scholar; Emily Eustatia, married name Gruggen (1828-1909); and Adelaide Elizabeth, married name Beresford (1837-1902). Elizabeth Morgan died at the age of 65, and was buried in All Souls, Kensal Green on 9 July 1866. Her grandson, Fr. Francis Xavier Morgan (1857-1935) was the legal guardian of the fantasy writer J. R. R. Tolkien. Five of the nine items appear to have been torn out of the same quarto-sized sketchbook: an original ink drawing of a cavalier soldier, by Robert Ker Porter, signed by him and inscribed to Mrs. Morgan, 25 May 1841; an original watercolor of a women's charitable home inhabitant soliciting donations, signed "E. M."; a pencil drawing of "Bradley Rectory," signed "F. J. G., 1851"; a page of manuscript music, "Le dernier Soupir," signed "M. T."; and a pencil and watercolor copy of R. Westall's portrait of Lady Charlotte Harley, "Lord Byron's Ianthe." The other items include: a small unbound notebook (50 total pages, some blank) in Elizabeth Morgan's hand, circa 1849-1850, which includes biographical notes on Jane Porter, a note on Robert Ker Porter's "Battle of Agincourt" painting, notes from readings, tables of expenses, etc.; a printed invitation accomplished in manuscript, to Mr. Mrs. Morgan, for an event at Boyle Farm on 30 June 1829, from Lord Chesterfield, Lord Alvanley, Lord Castlereagh, Mr. de Roos, and Mr. Grosvenor; a watercolor of the Rialto Bridge in Venice; and a small pencil drawing, "The House in which Lord Byron died at Missolonghi," signed "E. H., 1834.". less

This is my movie! How could it not be? It’s the tale of two foodies-- Julie Powell and Julia Child--directed by a third, Nora Ephron. You know the story behind the movie by now—how it is based on two books, one the memoir of famed chef Julia Child who brought American food out of the dark ages of Spam and Hamburger Helper, and the other by Julie Powell a blogger who made every recipe in Child’s Mastering the Art of French Cooking during the course of one year and blogged about it daily becoming famous and publishing a best seller in the process. Both stories are old fashioned American success stories which we all enjoy almost as much as a great meal.
I went to the premiere with my friend Eve Gerber and with Alice Waters who knew Julia. At the premiere I laughed and I cried. There are so many scenes that I want to relive, like the one with Julia at the Cordon Blue cooking school, or Julie cooking lobsters. Meryl Streep was Julia, so much so that at times I forgot I wasn’t watching that big boned gal herself. I did wonder how they made petite Meryl look so tall and a crew member told me they surrounded her with short actors and had her stand on a box when she was cooking.
Afterwards we talked a lot about how the world of food has changed because of people like Julia Child and James Beard. Alice thought the movie was perfect except for one scene where Julie goes out on a winter’s day to buy ingredients and comes back with a bunch of basil. Not seasonal!! That’s Alice for you, if it’s not in season, don’t eat it.
I used to cut classes to come home and watch The French Chef. I was obsessed with Julia. The greatest day of my life was the day I won The Julia Child Award for a first cookbook for “I’m Almost Always Hungry.” Julia Child’s joy and love for food came across brilliantly in the film and reminded me of how much things have changed for TV chefs in the years since Julia reigned on television. Julia was a lover of food, not of celebrity. Her show was about cooking, not competition. It was a pure joy and she kept it pure. She also did her homework and knew her stuff, unlike so many food bloggers who sound off now with nothing to back up their opinions.
Julia taught us to be fearless in the kitchen. Julie Powell was also fearless, and the magic that drew her to Julia and that helped her through her daring year in the kitchen is one of the things that makes the movie so poignant.

Hi Lora!
So happy to find your blog! We've met through Anita - I'm a big fan of yours and CHERISH the copy of I Am Almost Always Hungry that you signed for me.
I so enjoyed this movie too. The laughing, the crying. But most of all the way it motivated me to cook! And not just my old tried and trues, but new things!
As someone who isn't in NY, I find your posts about ingredients and recipes just terrific.

AMO Innovation and service enhancement
For any repair missing from the manufacturer’s manual, adaptation of an aircraft for a particular application, or other intervention out of the ordinary, major aircraft operators have their own engineering department. But for the various AMOs in Quebec, which have limited means and infrequent needs, Alevia Aero can play a similar role..
“Concisely, maintenance centers can contact us for any intervention that requires certification or approval from Transport Canada, according to François Côté, founding president. Whether for a crack longer than the length allowed by the repair manual, the use of a non-OEM replacement part, or the installation of a special device on an aircraft, we can work hand-in-hand with AMOs in order to help them fulfill specific needs.”
Specialized in mechanical systems and engine installations, Alevia Aero has developed a particular expertise in design and certification. Its president, which has worked frequently with Transport Canada, has developed a refined knowledge of the regulations surrounding aircraft certification.
“In short, we do not generally work directly on parts or the aircraft itself: the scope of our work generally includes the design and the steps surrounding its approval. The maintenance workshop then performs the manual labor.”
In order to facilitate this collaboration, Alevia Aero displays undeniable honesty and transparency. “Our staff always takes the time to explain precisely the nature of the steps that will be taken, so as to avoid any unpleasant surprises in terms of costs or delays.”
Furthermore, note that François Côté plans to consolidate his relationship with AMOs, by setting up a system that would encourage them to contact his company when they detect a recurring problem for this they have a solution to offer. “I would then get this solution approved, market it, and the AMO that brought it to me would receive a portion of the profits. This would benefit the whole industry by making modifications, or STCs, widely known.”
A new, innovative and inventive approach… consistent with Alevia Aero’s reputation!

Title: Sound of the Sky (Soro no Wata) Complete Set on Blu-ray
Director: Mamoru Kanbe
Writer: Hiroyuki Yoshino
Studio: A-1 Pictures
U.S. Distributor: Nozomi Entertainment
U.S. Release Date: June 6th, 2017
Format: DVD/ 12 episodes/ 355 minutes
Genre: Sci Fi, Slice of Life, Comedy, Drama
Age Rating: 14+
Personal Rating: A
Similar Titles: Air, Kanon
Sometimes our goals in life lead is to do things and impact others in way we would never expect. They also put us in situations that just might make all the difference in the world.
A young girl, Kanata Sorami, joins the army to learn how to play trumpet because she saw a solider play “Amazing Grace” and was touched so deeply that it is the only goal she has in life. The army sends her to the outpost in the town of Seize to become the bugler. Unknown to her she becomes one of the Fire Maidens of Seize. These are the historical protectors of the Village. The other members of the squad are Rio Kazumiya, Kanata’s trumpet teacher, Filicia Heideman, the company commander, Noel Kannagi, the mechanic and Kureha Suminoya the other private assigned as the gunner.
In the beginning Kanata does not know how to play the trumpet very well but she has a great ear for sound and with some training by Rio she manages to become wonderful player and even the village begins to enjoy her playing. During this time she becomes a valued member of the platoon and the bonds of these 5 women become so close it almost seems as though they are sisters.
There is a tentative peace between Helvetia and Roma. The current talks are not going very well and the platoon must always be on the watch for anyone coming across the no-mans land just outside Seize. During this period of stress there is a secret about Rio that comes to light that drives her away from the platoon to eventually end up having a overreaching impact on everyones life.
This wonderfully crafted anime brings together several key elements that makes it one to be seen. The first of these elements is the bonding of the main characters that creates a group of women who become true sisters and find that they each have their role to play. They are each very different and have a dramatic past that is at the core of who they are. This is highlighted by Kanata who has the loss of her family and the contact with a beautiful bugler who was playing “Amazing Grace” in such a way that made her think to was the true Sound of the Sky. That was the motivating factor behind her having no fear and wanting to be able to play that piece for all the world to hear. The others also have past experience that make them so special that they each bound together make an unstoppable force. All of this is accentuated buy the strong character development and the wonderful series of events that bring them together.
The second of the outstanding elements has to be the plot structure and the way the story is told. By the middle of the series I was a little concerned that Sound of the Sky as nothing more than a string of unrelated events but in classic Japanese story telling fashion all of these events all roll up together and provide a ending that managed to warm even my cold heart. The stories told about these women and girls consistently brought a kind smile to my soul as I moved through the series and at the end I wanted only good to happen for this loving group of women.
The final and possible most impressive is the high quality of the animation. I found myself blown away by the impressive artistry put into creating the world that these intrepid ladies lived. The monastery where they lived was so well developed it made me feel like I was there and the landscapes were Miyazakiesk and created a peaceful place that we all would want to be a part of. At every turn I found myself in awe of the talented work that went into this loving series.
Overall Grade: A
Sound of the Sky is not one of those knock down drag-out anime that is all about the action, it is a kind gentle anime that does not shy away from action, but rather uses it only when it is important. The creators have given us something to contemplate and use as a guide to what it is to truly care about those others around us. This series should be put on everyones must see list.
Because of the gentle spirit of Sound of the Sky I would recommend Air and Kanon as the two other series to get that loving feeling from.

nCino — Loan Origination on Salesforce Platform, Gets the Records Right
This post is part of an occasional series on the AppExchange as Salesforce.com celebrates the seventh anniversary of its launch. The series will focus on some of the most interesting AppExchange applications of the last year.
The arc of nCino’s brief existence provides a good description of the power of application development on the Force.com platform. nCino (“Encino” roughly translates from Spanish as “live oak”), supports commercial loan origination, including CRM functionality to manage the sales process and document management to handle all of the details. The product was originally developed within a conventional bank, Live Oak Bank in Wilmington, NC.
To say that Live Oak Bank is conventional is not to imply that it is ordinary. It is the third largest originator of business loans in the U.S. despite being significantly smaller than its competitors. With the banking industry in a slump Live Oak could not compete as a low cost provider because borrowing activity was slack and interest rates were at low points. So the bank decided to innovate and to compete on business execution.
Anyone who has paid attention to banking issues during the recession has probably realized that banks had not been keeping up with managing documentation for example, in home mortgages. But the same has been true of documentation management in commercial loans and it was the content management part of the process that the bank decided to attend to first.
Live Oak used Force.com to build a commercial loan origination system that could take better care of loan documentation and better attend to the customer relationship issues that attend any loan sale. But the story doesn’t stop there.
When Live Oak showed off its new system at Dreamforce 2011 the bank discovered significant demand from other banks at the show. But not wanting to go into the software business, Live Oak spun off its software to a new company —nCino that is the subject of this piece.
By taking care of all loan origination documents within its Salesforce CRM instance, nCino has developed an origination process that is streamlined and effective. The company’s initial data shows that it can cut twenty five percent of the loan origination cycle time and put money into the hands of the business borrower faster than its competition thus providing a unique form of competitive differentiation.
But operational efficiencies are not the only thing that many bankers are seeking out these days. The financial crisis exposed the document handling capabilities of many banks as unreliable costing many of them lost time, revenues and legal fees. Industry data shows that as much as thirty percent of loan documents are inaccurate. These deficiencies have consequently driven many banks into the market for better document handling software and loan origination systems.
According to Pierre Naudé CEO of the company, Force.com has enabled his team of 27 people to innovate much faster than other technologies. After about a year, the company has nine installed customers with five more in process and several more in the pipeline. The AppExchange continues to be a good source of leads, which might surprise some people because nCino is an enterprise solution. But Beagle research shows that enterprises shop on the AppExchange just as smaller companies do.
Perhaps another surprise for some people familiar with banking is the nature of the solution. nCino is a cloud offering like all Salesforce solutions and the banking industry, according to Naudé has accepted it without fanfare. Naudé says it is because “many banks and credit unions have been using hosted solutions for some time, and there’s no difference between running a hosted solution in some remote data center and running a SaaS solution.” It helps that Salesforce already has all of the certifications that bankers look for including SOC Types 1, 2, and 3 and that it is PCI (private card issuer) compliant. nCino relies on these certifications as cornerstones of its business and they simply come along with the Salesforce service.
nCino was started with a loan from Live Oak Bank and it has since raised an A round of funding worth $7.5 million, which Naudé says was oversubscribed. The company’s roadmap includes delivering a mortgage origination system and retail loan facility later this year but the company does not release information about its roadmap beyond that.
nCino is a great story about what’s possible given the power of the Force.com platform and the AppExchange. More than this it provides a useful model for the future of enterprise software.

Introduction: The global burden of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) has constantly increased over time, using a current incidence of 3
Published October 03, 2020 / by biobender
Introduction: The global burden of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) has constantly increased over time, using a current incidence of 3. for Organized Review and Meta-Analysis Protocols 2015 suggestions. A search strategy will become developed using medical subject headings terms in PubMed search engine with MEDLINE database. The search terms will also be adapted for gray literature, Embase, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials electronic databases. Two reviewers (AN and SRN) will individually screen studies, having a third reviewer consulted in instances of disagreements using a defined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data items will become extracted using a predefined data extraction sheet. Moreover, the risk of bias and quality of the included studies will become appraised using the Downs and Black checklist and the quality and advantages of evidence across selected studies will be assessed using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment Development and Evaluation approach. The Cochran’s Q statistic and the I2 statistics will be used to analyze statistical heterogeneity across studies. If the included studies show substantial level of statistical heterogeneity (I2? ?50%), a random-effects meta-analysis will be performed using R statistical software. Ethics and dissemination: The review and meta-analysis will not require ethical authorization and the findings will be published in peer-reviewed journals and offered at local and international conferences. This review may help provide clarity within the risk-benefit effects of using immune checkpoint inhibitors in individuals with CLL. Organized review enrollment: International potential Register of Organized Reviews (PROSERO) amount: CRD42020156926. solid course=”kwd-title” Keywords: undesirable events, persistent lymphocytic leukemia, immune system checkpoint inhibitors 1.?Launch (-)-Nicotine ditartrate The global occurrence of leukemia has increased over time, with (-)-Nicotine ditartrate chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) (-)-Nicotine ditartrate situations having an increased prevalence in comparison to all the lymphoid malignancies.[1] Although the precise aetiology continues to be elusive, age, life style and environmental elements have been recognized as a number of the main consequences implicated in the introduction of CLL.[2,3] To date, it really is more developed that CLL may be the most common kind of leukemia, accounting for about 37% of most cases of blood malignancies,[4] with the average global prevalence around 3.5 cases per 100,000 people.[5] In Africa, figures over the incidence of CLL is quite limited with isolated research reporting upon this type of leukemia.[6C11] non-etheless, various therapeutic medications including the ones that modulate the function of immune system checkpoints receptors are continuously being developed and their effectiveness tested in the administration of individuals with CLL world-wide.[12C14] Defense checkpoints regulate immune system function and enjoy a crucial function in preventing autoimmunity.[15C17] However, in CLL, the signaling of immune system checkpoint receptors is normally dysregulated which leads to immune system dysfunction.[18,19] Briefly, CLL Rabbit Polyclonal to DYR1A is a monoclonal disorder that’s seen as (-)-Nicotine ditartrate a the accumulation of functionally incompetent B-cells with a unique CD19+, Compact disc20+, Compact disc5+, Compact disc23+ lymphocyte surface area markers and surface area immunoglobulin-positive phenotype in the peripheral bloodstream, bone marrow, and lymph nodes.[20,21] Hence, anti-CD20 monoclonal-based medicines such as rituximab and ofatumumab are used as standard treatment for CLL.[12,22,23] However, these medicines are associated with severe adverse events such as neutropenia and thrombocytopenia,[24C26] with others reporting on their ineffectiveness as monotherapy.[27] Thus, the need to urgently broaden our understanding of the pathophysiological mechanisms implicated in the aggravation of CLL. Although CLL is definitely a B-cell malignancy, recent studies have also explained the involvement of T-cells in the pathogenesis and progression of the disease.[28C30] In fact in CLL, T-cell exhaustion mediated by an upregulation of coinhibitory receptors such as programmed death-1 (PD-1), lymphocyte-activation gene 3 (LAG-3), T-cell immunoglobulin-3 (TIM-3), and cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 (CTLA-4) has been reported.[18,31] Consequently, this has led to the advancement of immune checkpoint inhibitors that focuses on both B and T-cell function as a treatment strategy for CLL.[32] However, contradictory findings on the effects of using immune checkpoint inhibitors in CLL individuals have been reported.[13,32C36] Thus, the precise aftereffect of immune checkpoint inhibitors in CLL is needs and contradictory to become investigated further. As a total result, due to top quality of proof reported in randomized managed trials (RCTs), this review shall target such studies to assess.

Glasserie Brunch
by Cori Sue
I make an effort to explore New York’s diverse neighborhoods and their accompanying restaurants. One neighborhood I’d never visited? Greenpoint, Brooklyn. Likely because it’s not terribly accessible. I was meeting Shera, a stylish redhead from the South, for brunch. An expert on Brooklyn’s brunch scene, Shera told me Glasserie was top on her list, and I trusted her word.
When I arrived, she was seated with a cocktail at the bar, which lies in the center of the restaurant. The aesthetic of the space is minimalist, with lovely natural light flooding in through the windows. It can best be described as prohibition meets warehouse, with some industrial light fixtures and accents, simple wooden seating, and beautiful natural light pouring in. And that day the space was filled with a mix of couples, friends and young families at brunch.
We began with cocktails, naturally. Shera’s pretty pink cocktail was crafted with mezcal, grapefruit, and a lime. It was light and went down easily. My mimosa was classic, frothy, fresh, and served in a low tumbler like Shera’s drink. I appreciated that they used quality champagne.
To start, we opted for the mezze sampler, which costs $19 a person to share a mix of Mediterranean appetizers, or $25 to share the spread, plus have an entree. As Bitches, we opted for the latter. And, what a spread it was. When it arrived, we were stunned by the sheer number of small bowls of delicious things, mostly spreads and veggies.
The spread included pickled veggies, a couscous veggie salad, and olives, all of which were delicious. The hummus was beautiful, and Shera really enjoyed it. Meanwhile, I don’t really love hummus, which most people think is blasphemy. There were also roasted beets and roasted tomatoes, both of which were delightful.
The absolute home runs of the mezze spread were the feta spread, which was creamy, flavorful and served with sweet balsamic and olive oil. And the flatbread, which was utter heaven. The thin, moist, and fluffy bread was filled with herbs and sprinkled with sea salt. It was the hot, satisfying melt-in-your-mouth type of bread you keep reaching for.
The eggs and sausage we ordered were simple but good: two beautiful, sunny-side up eggs, served with Greek lamb kofta, a tahini oregano cream, and a light, fresh salad. This was a simple Greek take on breakfast that would be great for anyone looking for a clean but satisfying breakfast platter.
We also shared the salad, which is available during lunch and dinner. At first, we were put off by the salad because it looked a lot like a larger version of the salad included in the mezze sampler. It also had a good bit of dressing. Oh, were we wrong.
This salad was packed with feta, oh-so-crispy chunks of falafel, onion, and sumac, resulting in a mix of crispy-crunchy, cheesy flavorful deliciousness. This was no ordinary, boring salad. I’m typically someone who hates ordering a salad but forces herself to do it, and I was happy I did.
The home run of the brunch was the last dish: the fried crescent pastry, a puff pastry filled with spinach, feta, charred onion, and egg. It was crispy, buttery and flaky on the outside, and filled with flavorful, hot and crumbly feta deliciousness on the inside. It was served with a small, beautiful, side salad.
Last but not least, Bitches never pass up dessert. I ordered an iced coffee in order to overcome my food coma, and we decided to go for chocolate. The chocolate parfait was a tall glass of chocolate mousse swirled with a lavender cream—yes, lavender—which paired surprisingly beautifully without tasting odd.
The Bitches say: Five Flutes for delicious, memorable Mediterranean fare in a chic ambiance with great service. Glasserie would be our go-to if we lived in Greenpoint, but it’s worth a trip if you do not.
Glasserie serves brunch Saturdays and Sundays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

She's-so-unusual
RP Logs » Archives: Logs » She's-so-unusual
August 14, 2014: Keith tries to approach Raven in a friendly way. Poor fool.
Generic Restaurant
Just a nice, family-owned restaurant in Metropolis.
Ryan Wade
Restaurant Staff
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EokAXyxfQlw]
A free day isn't something to squander away, especially when it also coincides with days in which no crime or supervillain crosses your path. Were he not moderately tired, Keith would be delirious about the fact.
Some time exercising, some time taking it easy and just letting things be for a while, it has put the young man in a good mood and a desire to clearly enjoy his day.
As he is walking through Park Ridge, his mind wanders to his growling stomach, and he realizes it has been far too long since he breakfasted. There is a chinese restaurant nearby- and not too expensive for the quality of food, either. Jacket slung over his shoulder, he starts walking down an avenue of trees towards the intersection and out of the park, food on his mind.
Small wonders that Rachel Roth has picked this, of all locations, to take her early lunch. The fact that it is quiet and out of the way likely had a great deal to do with the appeal and she occupies one of the booths with her hood pulled down. A plate of food lies half eaten infront of her, while a book sits open as well. 'American Gods' by Neil Gaiman. Her violet eyes scan the pages quietly with a practice, concentrative ease and after a second she's already flipped to a new segment.
Well, well, well. The redhead notices Rachel… it was hard not to. From that day at the party when he first saw her, it was impossible to mistake her for someone else. For her good or ill fortune, Raven was one of the people in Keith's mind, constantly.
How should he approach this? He makes his way to a booth that is right accross from Raven's, intentionally misunderstanding the waitress who pointed to another booth. Sitting down and flipping his menu open, he pretends to read while he tries to eye the book Rachel is reading. Slyly. Or as slyly as he can be.
Another customer.
Rachel is already put into a less than comfortable position. She's come to know the waitress and cooks, family owned, so she accepts their presence as an unfortunate side effect of enjoying their egg noodles. When another person comes into her little haven of solitude, however, it puts her on edge.
Never mind that the red head is trying to be sly. Like she's not accustomed to people trying to give her eyes over the top of the menu… Her black lips press together into a pencil thin line across he alabaster face. There's only so long she'll be able to sit there pretending that she doesn't see him before she can nolonger focus on the words in her book.
Which is unfortunate. She really likes Neil Gaiman.
"Sorry… I don't mean to stare-" Keith begins, "But I noticed what you're reading…" he lets it dangle in the air a bit. "I shouldn't be interrupting strangers. I just usually don't get to talk to people about books like that—" He looks up at the waitress, "Just water for me, thanks, I'll decide on what I want very soon." he says, sounding apologetic and looking at the menu again.
The dame has broken.
Perhaps it is the ultimate example of judgemental, but Rachel has cast her die and come up with an opinion on Keith long before he ever opens his mouth to address her. It isn't that she is socially incapable of looking past strangers addressing her, but she was in the middle of reading, so this has understandably (at least o her) put her in a foul mood.
"Oh?" She says with a tone that drips with… nothing. Absolutely nothing. She is like a frozen brick with regards to expression and emotional outpour. "I am very glad that you are capable of reading." She indicates with a brisk, curt nod. "If you would not mind me doing so?"
Keith looks a little at a loss for words at first. "I'm sorry. I like discussing about books I like. Just don't really see a lot of book clubs picking up Gaiman. You look like someone who'd have a lot of thoughtful things to say." When the waitress arrives, he gives his order and drinks from the water glass that she brings.
~OK, maybe she just hates everybody's guts?~
~Why is she so… spiky?~
That settles that, there will be no reading for her tonight.
Rachel lightly closes her book and sets it aside infavor of resting her palms flat down upon the surface of the table to either side of her plate and staring rather profoundly across the gap between them at Keith. It's funny how penetrating eyes that are so empty can actually be. Like violet ports into some raging storm on the otherside of a forcefield.
The seconds might tick on, but she finally breaks the silence with a pointed, "Well?"
The door to the Chinese restaurant opens as a blonde young man in his late teens enters the establishment. He is mostly quiet entering not drawing to much attention to himself. Almost sliently getting seated by the hostess. "Table for one." He says and coincidentally sits near the other two at their own table. He looks around the place and his eyes glances over at Raven. There is definitely something different about her, but Ryan can't exactly say what.
Oh god, now he was in it. Might as well just plod along and get struck by lightning. "Well, have you gotten to the forgotten god just yet?" he asks cautiously. He is willing to be that she has read this book multiple times, but playing it safe is always a plus.
"The statues of the forgotten gods?" Raven inquires without much shift in her expression. At least not until there is another guest to make their appearance into her sanctuary. Is it just not her night? Has she slightest someone and not known it? This one is also looking her way. She knows that look, but she's still too busy staring at Keith to look away.
Doing so would indicate defeat in this awkward staring match she's forced her original interrupter into.
Staring back at Rachel is uncomfortable. He is tempted to squirm, but that would be giving up. "No, the god no-one can remember, the one Shadow bribes over in Las Vegas?" He's too focused in engaging Rachel from his own booth to really pay much attention to the newcomer.
Ryan suspects that Rachel must get that look often and really doesn't say much. The interaction between the two is interesting to say the least. Ryan looks away seeing as neither of them have noticed him and as a waitress comes to take his order and brings a glass of water to him as well.
"No, I have not." Rachel states flatly, the warning so apparent in her voice that it might as well be a physical embodiment of the exacting revenge she will bequeth anyone who dare ruin the book for her. "He has only just gotten to Kay-ro." Her fingers twitch, but her eyes remain steadfast.
Say whatever one might about her cool nature, she is decisively good at staring matches. She's not even blinked. Not even a subtle one to moisten her eyes. Only her lips move to form words, then they return back to the pencil thin mark of black across her face.
Oh, she has most certainly noticed Ryan. She is just thus engaged. And will not be losing.
"Oh, well… you're in for a good read-" Keith's eye are watering, but he's trying his best. He really is. "… so you've gotten to the part…." must blink MUST BLINK MUST BLINK "—with the golden coin and his wife." Failure. Defeat. He blinks.
~Goddamnit!~
Ryan finds his eyes drifting back to Rachel and Keith. He tends to constantly look around examining his surroundings. The blonde tilts his wondering what exactly the two are doing. He isn't the most proficient when it comes to social interaction. "A staring blinking contest?" He says aloud even if it wasn't meant to be to come out of his mouth.
That is satisfactory to put a small, if cool, smile on Raven's pale face. "Yes I have. He should have asked her what she wanted." The notion of that tipid love affair is rather pointedly against Rachel's comfort, but she finds it facinating regardless. Now Ryan clearly wants to play as well, so she turns her head just enough to stare at him.
And just like that, the laser beams were focusing on someone else. Taking a moment to nibble at the arriving food, Keith is more than happy to let the newcomer foolish enough to attract her attention that way. And to observe her interacting without being under the spotlight.
To say that Ryan wanted to play as well, is going to far. He was simply interested in what she was doing. He blinks seemly unaware as to why she is staring at him, but he did look at her first. His grey eyes curiously look into Rachel's purple. He doesn't seem to be interested in playing this game. "Is there a problem?" His expreesion calm.
"No, I do not have a problem." Rachel is glad that they could come to an understanding this early in their staring match. Seeing as he did not play the game, she returns to looking at her food. Even going so far as to grab her chopsticks to eat a bit more of her rice noodles. It is one of the reasons she comes here, after all. They are quite devine.
Whether they are divine or not, Keith won't know for a bit, as he gestures for a little take home box.
Okay, so maybe this approach failed. But there are chances for others, right? First he needed an elegant retreat.
"I'm sorry I bothered you… I forgot I had to go to work early tonight so… er, yeah, enjoy the book… it's quite good."
Of course, she probably thinks this is the last she has seen of the ginger.
Silly Raven. Gingers don't have souls, right?
Ryan looks even more confused than when he entered this place. "Hmmm…" A sigh escapes his lips and he starts to dine on his food as well not really being able to figure out what just happened.
Rachel watches Keith have his food packed up, at least with a subtle turn of her head, but only nods in reply. "Thanks for ruining the part about Vegas." She says, then blows on her noodles and precisely slides them into the back of her mouth with the chopsticks.
It's a twenty four hour resteraunt, so she'll likely be there for the rest of the night. Which is fine. Right around midnight, everyone stops coming in anyways so she'll be able to read in quiet.

Lovely Vicious series by Sara Wolf
Back in 2014, in my Top Ten Books I Read in 2014 post, there was this bit.
I still maintain that this series is my favorite contemporary series OF ALL TIME. I couldn't even review the last two books in the series because HOW DO I EVEN? I was only able to review Lovely Vicious because I was required by the tour I was a part of but I wasn't able to express how much I love it because HOW DO I? I have recommended and gifted this series to friends just so they'd read it and I have been successful. AND NOW IT HAS BEEN PICKED UP BY ENTANGLED TEEN AND THIS MEANS THAT MORE PEOPLE CAN READ IT AND I'LL HAVE IT IN PAPERBACK!
Can you feel my excitement?!?!?!?!~
Anyway, without further ado, go under the cut for the new covers of the series!
Previously published as Lovely Vicious, this fully revised and updated edition is full of romance, intrigue, and laugh-out-loud moments.
Seventeen-year-old Isis Blake hasn’t fallen in love in three years, nine weeks, and five days, and after what happened last time, she intends to keep it that way. Since then she’s lost eighty-five pounds, gotten four streaks of purple in her hair, and moved to Buttcrack-of-Nowhere, Ohio, to help her mom escape a bad relationship.
All the girls in her new school want one thing—Jack Hunter, the Ice Prince of East
Summit High. Hot as an Armani ad, smart enough to get into Yale, and colder than
the Arctic, Jack Hunter’s never gone out with anyone. Sure, people have seen him
downtown with beautiful women, but he’s never given high school girls the time of
day. Until Isis punches him in the face.
Jack’s met his match. Suddenly everything is a game.
The goal: Make the other beg for mercy.
The game board: East Summit High.
The reward: Something neither of them expected.

A Regional Cycle Node Network
Guest contributor Jan Jakob Bornheim has been thinking beyond Christchurch…
The Christchurch Major Cycle Ways are a success in moving people riding their bicycles around Christchurch. But in the last few years, it seems there has been another, quieter evolution in cycling in Canterbury: the genesis of a regional cycling network in the Greater Christchurch region.
In a few years’ time, with the completion of the shared path along the Christchurch Northern Corridor, the missing link for the Little River Trail as part of the Southern Motorway works, and the Coastal Pathway, it will be possible to bike between Rangiora to Little River and from Rolleston to Sumner on cycle-friendly facilities.
This regional cycle network does not only benefit commuters (realistically speaking, on an e-bike one could commute from Kaiapoi to the CBD soon). A few years down the line, it should be possible to go all the way to Picton and connect with trails in the Hurunui along the way. The benefits of this should not be under-estimated: the national cycleway has benefited communities along it immensely.
Canterbury regional cycling – filling in the pieces of the puzzle… (click to enlarge)
Such a boom is possible for businesses in Canterbury as well. I recently had family come over from Europe, and they enjoyed the West Coast, the Alps, and taking the train and ferry to Wellington. But one of the highlights of their visit was a simple bike ride along the Papanui Parallel, the QE2 shared path along the Travis Wetland, and the Te Ara Ōtākaro Avon River Trail, finishing with a nice afternoon pint at Pomeroy’s (come to think of it, three out of four times I go to this particular place, it is because it is at the CBD end of the river trail and the perfect end-point for a casual Sunday afternoon cycle ride).
Topographically, riding your bike in the Canterbury Plains is just like riding your bike in the Netherlands, except the scenery is more spectacular. But it doesn’t only attract international tourists. A regional cycle network attracts domestic tourists and creates incentives for day tours by Cantabrians exploring their region by bike.
But looking at a map, it is not always straightforward for the interested recreational rider to see how, for example, taking the Passchendaele Memorial Path, the Northern Corridor, the Papanui Parallel, the City Promenade, the Little River Trail, and the Lincoln-Rolleston shared path all will connect with each other to make a continuous journey from Rangiora to Rolleston on a bicycle possible. A regular commuter will know their way, but the weekend tourer might not.
A node and directions to other nodes in Belgium (picture by Paul Hermans, CC BY-SA 3.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=1797725)
This is where the idea of a regional cycle node network comes into play. These systems exist for example in the Netherlands, Belgium and the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia. In such a system, every crossing point between different cycling routes (i.e. each node) is assigned a number. The nodes are signed, and at the nodes and along the routes, signs indicate which next node can be reached by following the cycle facility in this direction. Cyclists can then easily plan a route by connecting the nodes.
The connection between the nodes – cycle paths, shared paths, or cycle-friendly roads with or without cycle lanes – are shown on a map and where necessary and practicable, signs are erected along the connectors as reassurance signs to reassure people riding their bikes that they are on a connector and which node they are moving towards. The node network works particularly well to plan a route on the computer (see for example the Limburg node network), and some route planners allow you to export a planned tour as a GPX file for use with any smartphone or other navigation system (for example, the North-Rhine Westphalian cycle travel planner).
Planning a route along the nodes (numbers in red circles) in North Rhine-Westphalia on http://radservice.radroutenplaner.nrw.de/rrp/nrw/cgi?lang=DE
But it doesn’t have to be that technical. A person wanting to travel from Rangiora to Rolleston along a certain route would simply need to write down the numbers of the nodes along the way and then follow the signposts.
In such a system, every point where major cycle ways or other cycle facilities meet would become a node. But the node network system does not require the connection between nodes to be a dedicated cycling facility. For example, the network in the German region of Viersen (PDF) clearly shows that a number of cycle-friendly roads have been marked as node connectors. The same could be done in our neck of the woods to signpost people who are riding through Kaiapoi in order to connect from the trails in the Waimakariri District to the new shared path on the bridge and the CNC shared path, or to close the gap between Halswell and Prebbleton (with the new speed limits, Sabys Road will be a cycle-friendly connection between Halswell and Prebbleton).
Ideally, a website that shows people the node network would be colour-coded to show the different types of cycling facilities (cycle path, shared path, cycle-friendly road with or without cycle lanes, unpaved trail) that act as connectors between the nodes. The investment required is not huge. A website and some information material promoting the network, clear signs along the way to signpost the connectors between the nodes as well as the nodes themselves, and maybe some paint on the cycle-friendly roads alerting other traffic participants about the presence of cyclists. It would also require a degree of co-ordination between the different road authorities. In return, I am looking forward to spending my money along the way on sustenance.
What do you think? Is a regional cycling node system worth exploring?

C Kilgour says:
I think providing only node numbers as seems to be the case in the photo restricts the information to those with internet access and know where to find the information. When I am in a car I don’t rely on the state highway numbers to work out where I’m going. The signs telling me which to go also have way more information than only the state highway number.
Using a connected network on the ground shouldn’t require the use of apps or preplanning. Good signage is vital.
I don’t think the Inland Scenic Route should be called a safe cycle route between Rangiora and Winchester/Temuka. I can’t even work out which road is being used between Geraldine and Temuka. That route has many single lane bridges, blind corners and hills. Rakaia River causes issues which ever way you approach it. While there are stretches of SH1 where there is plenty of space to add an off road cycleway I don’t see much point without the Rakaia link being added.
On a positive note I look forward to seeing the rest of the new cycleway between Rolleston and Templeton along Jones Road completed. The small section that has been completed looks great but doesn’t yet link to anything.
Jan Jakob says:
Point taken about the signs. There are other examples (e.g. the North Rhine-Westphalian design http://odenthal-altenberg.de/fileadmin/_processed_/7/e/csm_knotenpunktsystem_def09ff300.jpg) where the signs include both the name of the nearest destination as well as the node (and sometimes, as seen in the picture, also the names of trails of which they form part). I personally like the design where the node numbers are part of the main sign rather than add-ons, which is why I picked the photo that appears in the article but the destination name can easily form part. In my experience using a node network, pre-planning isn’t necessary to use it if you take a map with you or there are maps along the road that include the nodes.
Sorry, and one more comment. I think a certain amount of pre-planning might be inevitable. If I want to go from Halswell to Kairaki (which is almost possible on the current network and will be in a short while), it would be odd to find signage for Kairaki in Halswell. The problem is that it is the nature of a network that not all possible destinations can be signed everywhere. Of course, if I know my way around I can make it up as I go along and think “follow the signs to the CBD, then go to Papanui, then at some point branch off the parallel on to the CNC to Kaiapoi, then go through the town to hit up with the Pegasus Beach trail” (in which case I would have missed the Nor’west Arc alternative that will be build soon). But I could also pre-plan my route and just memorise three or four numbers, or look at a map that would ideally be located at least at the nodes themselves to memorise the nodes.
meltdblog says:
The numbered node system predates broad internet access and still provides paper maps:
https://www.holland-cycling.com/index.php/tips-and-info/finding-your-way/numbered-cycle-network
Important nodes may include their own public maps to help direct people on the smaller details at towns. One thing overlooked in many other countries is making the route continuous, it needs clear direction at every junction of paths/roads to guide people between the main nodes without getting lost part way there.
Holy crap. What a great idea – it just makes sense.
Hopefully the Christchurch cycling community can get together and lobby the big-powers-that-be to adopt this system – perhaps even offering an unofficial map online or at cycle stores.
This is what Melbourne needs for it’s sprawling, but confusing to navigate cycleways!

GPX files for at least the major routes would be very helpful.
Just a heads up that consultation is now open for a shared path linking the end of the Northern Corridor pathway and the Passchendaele Memorial Path, enabling a dedicated connection on cycling facilities from the CBD all the way to Rangiora. Except for Trafalgar Street, the bane of my existence. I will mention my node idea in my feedback. https://www.stuff.co.nz/the-press/news/north-canterbury/114466680/cycleway-plan-could-link-waimakariri-and-christchurch
This pretty neat video from BicycleDutch popped up on my YouTube feed today if you want more examples on how easy a cycle node network is in practice.

CYNTHIA GRAY
Traveling Around the World with the Queens…
January 25, 2017 (Amazon River, Manaus & Rubber Plantation)
Shortly after entering the Amazon river, we anchored at Macapa and waited for Brazilian Immigration. Most people need a VISA to travel in Brazil, and for Americans, it’s not cheap. We paid about $400 each, after the processing fees were tacked on. Clearance was speedy, but 3 immigration officials stayed on board to accompany us during our 6 day jaunt on the river. Why, I wonder? Were they concerned that crew members might go awol? Where would they go? There are no roads. They could disappear into the jungle on foot. Try their luck at outmaneuvering the jaguars, dodging the anacondas, tip toeing past the piranhas in electric eel infested swamps… all while leisurely expiring from Dengue Fever, Malaria, Yellow Fever, Chickeltosis, or Eekelokemia. Okay, I made up the last two, but you get the picture.
Perhaps they are members of the Brazilian Culinary Brigade. A vital organization, committed to unmasking any breaches in the gastronomic security protocols. Is the Beef Wellington juicy enough? Are the Dark Chocolate Hazelnut Encrusted Croissants flakey enough? Is the Rosemary and Basil Infused Five Cheese Lobster Ravioli with Garlic Sesame Butter and Essence of New Born Oregano al dente enough?
2 river pilots also got on board. THEY have legitimate roles to play by helping the Captain steer clear of potential hazards. Especially after dark, when the insects ban together in swarms and try to fly off with the ship.
Most of the river bank is dense, impenetrable jungle punctuated with an occasional ramshackle house or small village. Modest plots of cleared land grew lush grasses to support the languid farm animals permanently dazed by the heat. The landscape was steamy and luminous. I saw more shades of green then I knew existed. Many houses were on stilts to protect the inhabitants from the perpetual flooding. There was no glass in the windows, so outside was inside.
Boats of all sizes puttered along the shoreline, but no one really paid much attention to us. This gargantuan ship, a size never before seen on the river, was just a slight curiosity. A few head nods in greeting, an occasional listless wave, and one gang of kids who paused their subdued game of stick ball long enough to glance our way with detachment. The pace of life is very slow here. I found it difficult to stay alert while watching the scenery slip by. Maybe it was the plump iridescent fly that looked me in the eye before biting me. Or, maybe the lethargy is contagious.
We traveled 1,000 miles in 3 days before arriving in Manaus; the capital of Amazones and Brazil’s largest state at roughly one million square miles. Manaus was founded in 1669 by the Portuguese who built a small fort here to guard against Spanish invasion. Jesuit missionaries followed soon after. In 1809, with a population of 2,000, the town became the region’s capital. But it was the Rubber Boom that changed this backwater jungle town into what became known as the “gaudiest city in the world”.
Two ingenious inventions lead to a commercial rubber explosion. In 1844, Charles Goodyear discovered “vulcanization”. The process of hardening rubber by treating it with sulfur at high temperatures. Then in 1888, Dunlop’s invented our “modern day” pneumatic tire that is filled with air or gas under pressure. The demand for latex skyrocketed and thousands of workers migrated here to become “rubber-tappers” or seringueiros.
We joined an excursion to an old rubber plantation site that was abandoned in the 1920’s, but recently rebuilt as a living museum. We dressed in long pants, hiking boots, thick socks, long sleeve shirts and wide brimmed hats, despite the oppressive heat. Armed with an industrial sized can of 40% Deet bug spray, that would probably melt our clothes on contact, we boarded our small boat for the hour long ride to the jungle site. We scoffed at the other people who foolishly wore shorts and tee shirts, exposing generous amounts of flesh. That lasted until we reached land, and saw NO mosquitos at all. None. Then we simmered with envy at the scantily clad, as rivers of sweat trailed our Northern Hemisphere bodies for the next two hours. Why no mosquitos? We were on the Rio Negro, not the Amazon, so there are less bugs in general due to the composition of the water. It was also very dry at the time and the heat of mid day would fry any bugs that were in the sun. However, a sudden rain shower would change that. Our guide was dressed like us, so we felt vindicated.
The process of extracting rubber is slow and tedious. A rubber-tapper crawls up a tree and makes a long deep cut in the bark. The white watery latex is captured in a small cup as it leaks out overnight and is collected before sunrise. Just one cut, per tree, and only at night. During the day, it’s too hot and the latex would dry before reaching the cup. One tapper averages 80 trees between dusk and dawn, A candle attached to a canister worn on the head, was their only source of light.
Rubber-Tapper Tools
Cutting Instrument
Latex Fingers and Cup
The next night, up the tree again, making another cut just below the last one. When they reach the bottom of the tree, they move onto another side. The tree is divided into three sections. It takes 8-10 years to complete tapping one large tree. By then, the first cuts have long healed, and the process is started again by recutting the old scars. The tree is in a constant state of stress, but it lives through the process. During the day, the latex is smoked over a flame to dry out the watery liquid, leaving hard rubber behind. It took 30 days to produce a 140 pound rubber ball, which the tappers had to haul by hand from deep in the forest back to the plantation house. From there, the rubber was transported to Manaus by boat.
Smoking the Latex
Rubber Baron Plantation House
The Rubber Barons were obscenely wealthy and known for outlandish spending. A testament to this time is the Opera House in Manaus. Built in 1896 with public funds (from the 20% Rubber Export Tax), it has 700 seats and was constructed with bricks brought from Europe, French glass, and Italian marble. The dome consists of 36,000 glazed ceramic tiles in Brazil’s national colors. Very glamorous… but it’s still the jungle, and half the members of the first visiting opera troupe died of yellow fever.
Dome of Opera House
The “wealth” did not trickle down to the men doing the hard labor. They were treated like barbarians, lived in hovels and paid poorly. When the men demanded more money, the Barons reacted by giving them free Rum instead, to shut them up.
Through the early 1900’s, Brazil sold 88% of the world’s rubber, and Manaus became one of the richest cities in the world. Electricity was installed here before most major European cities.
Then it all came to a crashing halt, soon after a Brit was hired to smuggle 70,000 rubber tree seeds on board a chartered steamer. He snuck them past customs in Belem, by claiming they were rare botanical seeds; a gift for Queen Victoria. Sounds like the custom officers needed a botany lesson. Opps. Later, after planting them in an English greenhouse, it was determined that they would grow well in an environment like Malaysia.
Brazil’s rubber monopoly was broken, thanks to the new British owned plantations in Southeast Asia that severely undercut pricing just before WW1. Within a decade, Manaus plunged into poverty and became an obscure backwater jungle again. It also went dark, because electricity became to expensive to generate.
Henry Ford also took a shot at growing rubber. In 1925 he bought 2.5 million acres on the Tapajos river and called it Fordlandia. He got bad advice from his real estate agent, because the trees would not grow. The site was abandoned to “leaf blight” before sinking back into the jungle. He tried again, and failed again.
In 1967, Manaus became an industrial “duty free zone”, which helped encourage businesses to move here. In 2009, the city was chosen as a host city for the 2014 FIFA World Cup, which meant they had to clean things up. Roads were repaved and sidewalks rebuilt. A new airport was constructed. The communication infrastructure was updated, although we saw very few people tethered to their cell phones. The “tourist police” and “military police” have a strong presence and we felt very safe. Although we were advised not to venture off the main roads.
Tourist Police
Manufacturing includes petroleum products, soap, and electronics. Ships are also built here. There is a distillery and a brewery. Rubber is still exported, along with brazil nuts, jute, and rosewood oil.
Now, the city has a population of over 2 million! Which is pretty amazing, considering we are in the middle of the jungle, and the only way to get here is by boat or plane. There are a few paved roads that leave the city but they quickly turn to dirt, then just disappear.
Welcome to Manaus!

Manaus – Cargo Ship
That’s enough for now…. my next post will be about our visit to an Indian Village near Manaus and the town of Santarem. Stay tuned!

Black Cat Collective’s HQ Taking Shape
The newly acquired headquarters for the Fort Worth-based mutual aid group the Black Cat Collective is under development.
Will Schnack has been helping to organize construction of the group’s headquarters and infoshop in recent weeks. He has also posted photos (pictured above and below) on the group’s Facebook page of the recent progress.
This past week, Food Not Bombs co-founder Keith McHenry was scheduled to give a workshop at the remodeled premises on the topic of consensus-based decision making.

Live Review: Animals as Leaders
Posted on August 29, 2011 by Daniel Aston
Headline Act: Animals as Leaders
Support: The Bad Channels, Convex
Venue: Bunters, Truro
All the way from California, acclaimed jazz-prog-metal act Animals as Leaders ventured down to Truro for a free-entry performance at Bunters. The fans could hardly believe their luck, and perhaps the band could hardly believe how their booking agent had allowed it to happen. Tosin Abasi and co have been embarking on a heavy touring schedule that has seen them play virtually every day for the past few months. Fears that the trio may be suffering from fatigue were put to rest as the band effortlessly ploughed through a set demonstrating high-calibre musicianship.
In today’s musical climate it is harder than ever for a band to get the spotlight and accumulate the following it needs in a landscape that is cluttered with music piracy and immeasurable competition. Kudos then to Animals as Leaders, their ambitious world tour on the back of their debut album has shown their passion and dedication in getting their music heard across the world.
Support came from two local bands. Convex opened up the night with a set of grunge rock. Sounding like a modern Nirvana, the band managed to deliver a decent set yet bizarrely managed to not acknowledge the audience once. The Bad Channels’ then swiftly succeeded in rallying the audience with an excellent set of high-energy stoner rock. During this time, Abasi was perched by the merch stall. Seemingly warming up by playing through the night’s set alone, a small audience had gathered around him simply to watch his virtuosity up close.
When the headline act took to the stage the room became full to the brim and the venue erupted in a roar of cheers. Animals as Leaders played for just over an hour, displaying excellent performances of fan-favourites such as Wave of Babies, Tempting Time, and CAFO. The band were somewhat taken aback by the high positive reception and shouts for an encore left Abasi in a state of bewilderment, resorting to apologetically packing away his gear. An impressive set nevertheless and a promise to return in the future left all those who witnessed the magic hungry for more.

Live Review: Judas Priest, Queensrÿche and Rival Sons
Posted on August 8, 2011 by Daniel Aston
Headline Act: Judas Priest
Support: Queensrÿche, Rival Sons
Venue: Bournemouth BIC
Fans gathered feverishly early on a cool Sunday evening in anticipation of Judas Priest’s final UK date on their farewell Epitaph tour. Opening the night was Rival Sons. The American four-piece are building up a reputation as one of the most promising new rock acts and their placement on the Epitaph tour has allowed them to play some of the UK’s larger venues. A decent audience turned up to watch them deliver a convincing half-hour set where they displayed their 70s classic rock roots with essences of Led Zeppelin, Free and the Black Crowes. Amongst the cliché vintage blues-rock is a band with a true identity, and despite frontman Jay Buchanan’s stage presence being a carbon copy of Robert Plant, he thankfully doesn’t try to sound like a tribute act.
Next on the bill was Seattle’s Queensrÿche. Once pioneers of progressive metal, the band has significantly moved on over the years and has recently released their most controversial album to date with Dedicated to Chaos. An album that saw them yet again reinvent their sound has received a great deal of largely unfair frustrated criticism from fans and critics alike. Get Started from that very album opens things up, with Geoff Tate jumping around in a trilby and waistcoat failing to engage Priest’s loyal ‘metal maniacs’. Thankfully the band then strayed away from the current release to perform some of their classic material. Anthems such as I Don’t Believe in Love, Empire and Eyes of a Stranger manage to get the audience singing along, with Empire being a particular standout. Despite Tate’s recent statement that Queensrÿche are definitely not to be seen as a prog band, there is space in the set for the experimental pairing of NM 156 and Screaming in Digital. The sci-fi themed songs work excellently together both musically and lyrically, with the tales of futuristic machine dominance over mankind being expertly executed by the band with Tate’s operatic vocals on top form.
It took around twenty-minutes for Judas Priest’s monolithic stage to be created and as soon as the veil was dropped the crowd was greeted with a display of pyrotechnics, lasers and smoke plumes. Priest ploughed effortlessly through heavy renditions of classics such as Metal Gods, Heading Out to the Highway and Victim of Changes, the latter turning out to be arguably the best performance of the night. Rob Halford’s vocal performance was sublime, and for a man in his sixties his ability to reach all the highs from the record is astonishing. The audience warmed instantly to KK Downing’s replacement Richie Faulkner who does his best to imitate his predecessor’s every move. Perhaps unsurprisingly, Faulkner was also handed the majority of the guitar solos, allowing him the exposure to best display his technical ability and prove himself a worthy replacement. Halford handed over full vocal duties to the crowd for Breaking the Law before giving them the right to mosh during the metal powerhouse that is Painkiller. A blistering rendition of their heaviest song created a wall of colossal heavy metal and an atmosphere that few bands manage to achieve.
To round off the night the crowd was treated to three encores before Priest finally brought an end to their stunning performance. If this indeed turns out to be their final major world tour then they are ending on a glorious high. However, with a new guitarist and Halford’s vocals sounding as powerful as ever, one would suspect that there’s at least another album lurking somewhere on the horizon.

Live Review: Aynsley Lister Band
Headline Act: Aynsley Lister Band
Support: Rude Tiger
Venue: Falmouth Pavilions
It was a bitterly cold Friday night in Falmouth, but the weather didn’t deter a healthy turnout at the Pavilions to see acclaimed blues guitarist Aynsley Lister. Lister has been touring prolifically since the release of Equilibrium (2009) and the tightness of his band’s performance is unmistakable. His more recent live session release Tower Sessions is a testament to the current high calibre shows that contains some new material and a long awaited recorded cover of Prince’s ‘Purple Rain’.
Support came from currently unsigned Rude Tiger, a hard rock power trio from Devon. Their presence was immediately stated and not due to their work onstage. The merch stall was all theirs, and what a stall it was! An excess of t-shirts, CDs, badges and an extremely outgoing band rep was all a bit too much to take in with no Aynsley Lister material in sight. As for the musical side of things, Rude Tiger proved that they were more than just a desperate pub band looking for a break. The trio delivered a memorable thirty minutes of original material that was powerful, tight and highly enjoyable. Consistency was lost during their set, a lack of addictive crushing riffage was apparent in certain numbers. However, notable experimentation with time signatures and rhythms kept things interesting yet trying to get the audience to clap along to 6/4 amusingly didn’t get the vibe that was intended.
When Aynsley and his band took to the stage it was evident that a greater force had arrived. Opening with ‘With Me Tonight’ was a platform for Lister to show his renowned solo abilities. A mid-tempo number, the track stretched around the ten minute mark. The set could’ve sounded larger had it exploded into one of his faster tracks such as ‘Soul’ or ‘Hurricane’ given that the crowd had just been exposed to Rude Tiger’s hard hitting rock anthems. A mild complaint indeed, but the night’s set could have done with a few more of his harder hitting hard rock numbers.
We didn’t have to wait long for ‘What’s it all About’. Lister’s signature solo that has earned its place as one of the most emotive guitar solos of all time. If you haven’t heard it already, imagine something in the vein of Pink Floyd’s ‘Comfortably Numb’ and Fleetwood Mac’s ‘I’m So Afraid’. The power of that one track was the highlight of the evening and in a way it was a pity that it came so early in the set.
There were moments of amusement early on as plaster began to fall from the ceiling directly above where Lister was standing. It seemed that even inside the shelter of the Pavilions, there was no getting away from something that looked like snow. Thankfully the ceiling didn’t collapse and Lister completed another inspiring performance. The encore of Deep Purple’s ‘Hush’ fused with Stevie Wonder’s ‘Superstition’ ignited the audience one last time and Lister’s connection with his fans was as strong as his stage presence and charisma. The Aynsley Lister Band have played Cornwall regularly in recent years and his following in the area has steadily grown. Throughout the show audience members were singing along to every song and his loyalty to the area has clearly paid off. However, the tour schedule may show that they won’t be coming back this way for a while yet. So for now, pick up a copy of Tower Sessions and expose yourself to the magic of Aynsley Lister live!

Unexpected agreement?
I've been saying for a while that the left/right split is often irrelevant to the politics around the net; it is much more about freedom and control, about trusting the public en masse or fearing them.
I have two illustrations of agreement across political lines tonight. First, danah boyd and Bill O'Reilly of Fox News in striking agreement over myspace.
Secondly, Tara Hunt's Marx-citing on marketing:
But re-reading the Communist Manifesto, I was, once again, swept up in the following passage:
When, in the course of development, class distinctions have disappeared, and all production has been concentrated in the hands of a vast association of the whole nation, the public power will lose its political character. [...]
THE COMMONS WILL OWN THE MEANS OF PRODUCTION AND WILL CALL THE SHOTS. I don't know about you, but that sounds pretty rockin' to me. But then again, I have faith in human beings.
aligns with Mark Steyn and Glen Reynolds as cited in Steyn's review of Army of Davids:
The professor thinks we're in a transformative moment: "the triumph of personal technology over mass technology. . . . Starting around 1700, big organizations became the most efficient way to do a lot of things," he writes. But today, "economies of scope and scale" no longer favour the big, and those organizations that don't get it are like the old joke about the Pravda headline boasting that the Soviet Union made the biggest microchip in the world. "The empowerment of individuals," says Reynolds, "may lead to an interesting twist on Karl Marx's goal: workers control the means of production, all right, but it's a far cry from Communism."
That rang a vague bell with me and, after rootling through my mouldering clippings, I found an old column of mine from five years ago -- before Reynolds had started Instapundit or I'd even heard of "blogs." "We have arrived at the situation Marx and Engels urged upon us, in which the proletariat would rise up and seize control of the means of production," I wrote. "Their only mistake was that they were envisioning a workers committee running the local steel mill. But the steel mills have gone, and today the biggest industry in the United States is entertainment. That's the one the masses are kicking down the factory gates of."
It's not just media.

Can you help with local Vaccination plans?
The Midhurst Angels are now pulling together a plan that will see a small army of volunteers taking part in the Vaccination programme, providing assistance to people arriving at the centre and making sure everything runs as smoothly as possible.
Once up and running this could be a 7 day a week operation so we need a lot of pairs of hands. If you think you can help or have any questions regarding what would be expected, please get in touch by emailing midhurstangels@outlook.com
You can also find them on Facebook and for latest news visit www.midhurstangels.co.uk

Chichester update
COVID-19 vaccination programme in Chichester District
The vaccination programme for the Chichester District has started and we want to provide you with an update on where we are up to and what is likely to happen over the coming weeks.
We also have frequently asked questions available on the Sussex Health and Care Partnership website https://www.sussexhealthandcare.uk/keepsussexsafe/sussex-covid-19-vaccination-programme/faqs-about-the-covid-19-vaccine/
How is the vaccination programme being delivered?
There are a number of ways in which the vaccination is being rolled out to our communities:
A GP-led vaccination service is where most people living in the district will currently receive their vaccination. At the moment, each area has been allocated one site, but in the case of the district, there are four sites – which is great news for residents and means that the vaccination can be given to as many people as possible as quickly as possible.
Hospital hubs – local hospitals across the country have begun giving the vaccine to people over 80 who are attending for a planned appointment and frontline health and care staff. St Richard’s Hospital began providing the vaccination in this way this week.
Roving service – the vaccine will be taken into care homes and into people’s own homes if they cannot attend a vaccination site. This is being stepped up over the coming weeks as more supplies of the vaccines become available.
Large vaccination centres – each county will have one large vaccination centre which will be able to give the vaccine to large numbers of people. The large vaccination centres that will service Sussex are currently being finalised.
What has been achieved so far?
St Richard’s Hospital hub has started vaccinating health and social care workers, along with patients attending their appointments.
A GP-led vaccination service in Pulborough has started to deliver the vaccine for patients in the North of the District.
What is the next stage?
From next week, the COVID-19 vaccination programme will be further expanded across the district. This means that everyone over the age of 80 living in the area will receive a vaccination in a phased way.
Two GP-led vaccination services based in Selsey Centre and Tangmere Village Centre. They will start to provide vaccinations for people over the age of 80 who are registered with GP practices in the south of the district, including those who live in the city. These sites are currently undergoing their final checks and have been given delivery dates for the end of the week. Both sites will start vaccinating as soon as they have their deliveries including over the weekend.
In addition, a GP-led vaccination service at Riverbank Medical Surgery in Midhurst will be launched for residents in the North of the district in the coming weeks.
What is a GP led vaccination service?
GP-led vaccination services are run by groups of local GP practices working together to provide the vaccination to patients across their area.
The way in which GP vaccination services are delivered has been agreed at a national level and as mentioned above, each area is typically allocated one GP-led vaccination site. The Chichester District will have four GP-led vaccination sites, two that are in the north and two that are in the south. This is to ensure that the vaccination can be given to as many people as quickly as possible.
What about those who may find it difficult to get to a vaccination site?
We recognise that some people will have to travel further than others to get their vaccination, depending on where they live. We understand this will pose a challenge for some people, particularly those who are vulnerable, and we are looking at how they can be supported to get their vaccination in the safest possible way.
It is important to highlight that attending a vaccine appointment is an acceptable reason to leave the house during lockdown, including accepting a lift or accessing community transport. We are working with the GP practices to make community transport details available for those who need it.
Will the roll out affect how quickly I access the vaccine?
No.The timing of when you receive your vaccine is largely based on the availability of the vaccine and the priority group that you are in.The national Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) decides the priority groups and have advised that the vaccine should be first given to people over 80, people who work in care homes and health workers.
Would city centre locations be more suitable vaccination sites and why aren’t other locations being considered?
As soon as we started to make plans for the COVID-19 vaccination programme we began exploring where we could offer the COVID-19 vaccine to our patients in Chichester District.
The sites need to be able to accommodate large numbers of people on a daily basis (at least 300 a day.) We also need space for people to wait for their appointment and be monitored for a short while after their vaccination.
The site also needs to have internet access, IT and facilities to be able to carry out the vaccination safely and in line with government guidance.
In the early stages of our planning, the Chichester GP practices agreed that their own surgeries would not be appropriate. This is because they could not provide the vaccination programme on behalf of all GP practices from one site, alongside their individual day to day support for patients.
We have received incredible support from our communities and our partners with helpful suggestions of locations. However, the tight criteria meant that other sites, some of which were more centrally located, were not suitable.
It was also important that we had long term access to the site, as the vaccination programme is likely to continue for months over the course of this year.
When will I be contacted about the vaccination?
We are asking all patients not to contact their GP practices, as they will not be able to book appointments. People will be contacted by the NHS when it is their turn to receive the vaccine. Initially this is being done by phone, but alternative arrangements will be made for anyone who is not able to speak on the telephone.
Initially, those identified as being in Priority 2, will be invited to a GP-led vaccination site. Please note that separate arrangements are being made for those in Priority 1.
The eligible cohorts are:
Priority 1: Residents in a care home for older adults and staff working in care homes for older adults.
Priority 2: All those 80 years of age and over, frontline health and social care workers.
Priority 3: All those 75 years of age and over.
Priority 4: All those 70 years of age and over, those clinical extremely vulnerable individuals over 16 years old.
Priority 6: Adults aged 16 to 65 years in an at risk group.
Where are the locations of the GP-led vaccination sites and which patients will go where?
There will be four GP-led vaccination services covering the populations living across the Chichester District:
Selsey Centre
Tangmere Village Centre
Pulborough Medical Group
Riverbank Medical Surgery
These will be offering appointments over the coming weeks to patients who are registered at the following GP surgeries:
Selsey Centre and Tangmere Village Centre will offer the vaccine for patients registered at:
Cathedral Medical Group
Langley House Surgery
Lavant Road Surgery
Parklands Surgery
Selsey Medical Practice
Southbourne Surgery
Tangmere Medical Centre
Witterings Medical Centre
Pulborough Medical Group is offering vaccinations for patients registered at:
Loxwood Surgery
Riverbank Medical Surgery will be offering vaccinations for patients registered at:
Riverbank Medical Centre
The Petworth Surgery
This is a rapidly changing situation and more sites are likely to be added across Sussex over the coming weeks.

The phased roll-out of the COVID-19 vaccination programme is continuing across Sussex.
As the NHS rolls out vaccines, we’d like to remind people of 3 things:
The NHS will contact you when it’s your turn, so please do not contact them beforehand.
Please act on your invite when it comes.
Remember Hands, Face, Space. It will save lives and help the NHS.
In Sussex, the vaccine is currently available from three ‘hospital hub’ sites and from 15 GP-led local vaccination services, covering 56 practices, with many more due to start offering the vaccine over the coming weeks.
The vaccination programme will continue to expand in Sussex over the coming weeks and months as more vaccine becomes available.
Be aware of COVID-19 vaccination scams. To protect yourself and your family members from fraud and criminals, remember the following points:
The NHS will never ask you to press a button on your keypad or send a text to confirm you want the vaccine, and never ask for payment or for your bank details.
The NHS is currently not making house calls to deliver or discuss the vaccine.
If you receive a call you believe to be fraudulent, hang up. If you believe you have been the victim of fraud or identity theft report this directly to Action Fraud on 0300 123 2040. Where the victim is vulnerable, report it to Sussex Police online or by calling 101.

Interview: Every intelligence is value-neutral, says Howard Gardner

EP SPECIALS Interviews TOP STORY
“Every intelligence is value-neutral. It can be used constructively or negatively,” says renowned developmental psychologist Howard Gardner
By Dipin Damodharan / July 19, 2020
Howard Gardner needs little introduction. One of the most admirable intellectual cult heroes of our times, this renowned American developmental psychologist happened to be the correction of a faulty tilt in the very concept of human intelligence. We were not at all bothered about judging our children as smart and dumb, given their varying dimensions of general intelligence.
As far as intelligence and teaching are concerned, Gardner provided ample signs that there was something terribly wrong with the so-called conventional method, and it was only going to crash sometime, slowly but surely. Because, we–from the teachers and parents to policy makers and administrators–only thought of maintaining ourselves with our grim take on everything related to intelligence.
Howard Gardner is the Hobbs Research Professor of Cognition and Education at Harvard Graduate School of Education
The so-called bright child with conventional intelligence belongs to one line. And others belong to the other line. That is the reason why some students find themselves in limbo despite doing many things right in their schooling.
Gardner has shattered the myth of intelligence being a singular concept and proved that there are multiple intelligences within a human being. He describes human beings as the ones having several relatively independent information processing capacities (Read more about Gardner’s theory of Multiple Intelligences here) . Branded as the founding father of the universally acclaimed Multiple Intelligences (MI) theory, Howard Gardner is the Hobbs Research Professor of Cognition and Education at Harvard Graduate School of Education.
In an exclusive interview with the Education Post Online Chief Editor and Co-founder Dipin Damodharan, Gardner says that he has moved on to study the way that intelligences are used–positively and negatively– in the real world. Excerpts…
How do you look at the future of education in the backdrop of Covid-19 pandemic?
Of course I hope that we return to regular in-person classes, especially for young students. We will have learned a lot about what topics, approaches, and ages work well online, which can be boosted, and which have to be done in person. Whether and how we apply those learning is an open question. I’d bet more on some countries and regions (northern Europe) than on others (The United States, Brazil).
MI (Multiple Intelligences) is a theory about how the mind is organized and how it operates. That is not affected by COVID in itself
Howard Garnder
What do you think of the relevance of the theory of Multiple Intelligences in the new scenario?
MI (Multiple Intelligences) is a theory about how the mind is organized and how it operates. That is not affected by COVID in itself. But to the extent that more education takes place at home, with parents and students working side by side, the more crucial it will be to know about the mind of each student, how it works, what helps it work well, what is frustrating or counterproductive. This requires intrapersonal intelligence (what works for me and how) and interpersonal intelligence (how can I help my child, my sibling, my friends, etc).
As the educational institutions are still closed, how educators can teach students about survival skills using MI theory?
MI theory is very relevant since it features the personal intelligences. We need to learn more about how each of us learns, what works, etc and to make use of that knowledge– that’s intrapersonal intelligence. And to the extent that we are working with others– peers, parents, children– we need to understand how the other person learns, what works etc.
I have always felt that online education provides an invaluable opportunity for personalized learning
Of course, the other intelligences are relevant as well– including what I call ‘pedagogical intelligence”– how do we teach someone else? – and ‘existential intelligence’– what are the big issues in life, and how can we think well about them and make progress in understanding them?
And depending on the topic, we also make use of other intelligences– spatial intelligence in learning geometry or geography, musical intelligence in the arts, and so on.
Every intelligence is value-neutral– it can be used constructively (the way that South African leader Nelson Mandela used his interpersonal intelligence to bring a warring country together) or negatively (the way that Serbian leader Slobodan Milosevic used his interpersonal intelligence to promote hatred and ‘ethnic cleansing’)
In countries like India, online education is gaining momentum. What should be the educators keep in mind to not repeat the ‘one size fits all’ mistake of the past?
Online education has become more important in the COVID era. Also, there is every reason to think it will improve, if we study carefully what works and why, and if we also reflect on what doesn’t work, and why not.
I have always felt that online education provides an invaluable opportunity for personalized learning. In a class of 30 or 50 students, it’s very difficult to personalize. But there is no reason in the world why a good online educational system cannot individualize to a great extent. An AI system should be able to custom fit each learner. “One size fits all’ could and should end up in the grave yard— that’s always been an aspiration of MI theory and practice!

Could you tell us how MI theory will evolve further, from a futuristic perspective?
With all due respect, I am no longer working actively on MI. Through the Good Project (thegoodproject.org) I have moved on to study the way that intelligences are used–positively and negatively– in the real world. That’s because, in and of itself, every intelligence is value-neutral– it can be used constructively (the way that South African leader Nelson Mandela used his interpersonal intelligence to bring a warring country together) or negatively (the way that Serbian leader Slobodan Milosevic used his interpersonal intelligence to promote hatred and ‘ethnic cleansing’)
While I am not working actively on MI, I do monitor the findings about the brain and also about artificial intelligence. I no longer think that I have identified correctly all of the intelligences and how they work, but I feel strongly that an appreciation of the multi-faceted nature of the mind will be with us from now on.
I write about this in my forthcoming memoir A SYNTHESIZING MIND, to be published in September 2020, by the MIT Press.

game: Batman Begins

publisher: EA Games
developer: Eurocom
platform: GameCube/PS2/Xbox

Attempting the impossible is nothing new for mankind. Everything from the secrets of time travel to the nerd's perfect technique to woo a supermodel has been schemed upon and attempted, more often than not resulting in failure and sometimes a restraining order. Nevertheless, people just can't take a hint and they keep on trying. One of the latest entrants in the battle to beat towering odds is Eurocom with their attempt to create a good Batman game; not just any game, but a videogame based on a movie. And let's face it; the Dark Knight has had a rough career on the big screen, especially lately. But with the latest feature film, Batman Begins, being put into more - shall we say - capable hands and showcasing the greatly desired darker? side of the story, the game should have a good base to stand on. This, along with Eurocom's new vision for Batman games, may finally give fans something to cheer about.
Those of you who know the Splinter Cell series will find many things in this game very familiar, starting with the gameplay itself. Instead of the usual run around and beat the living daylights out of people? style of play, Batman will spend the majority of his time sneaking around and waiting for that perfect moment to strike. The stealth, however, isn't exactly the way it is in the Splinter Cell games. Instead of directly using the dark, enemies have vision cones? so you can see exactly where they are looking. This allows for far greater freedom of movement than Sam Fisher could ever hope for. Other attributes Batsy shares with Ubisoft's ninja/spy are moves like climbing poles, shimmying ledges, as well as the ability to use an optic cable to see under doors.
But don't go jumping the gun thinking that this is Splinter Cell 4 only with Sam Fisher in a bat suit. A very intriguing new mechanic Eurocom is trying is a new fear system." Easily the most intriguing aspect of the game, the system allows you to target enemies and see their heart rate and also whether or not they are armed. You are also able to see overall fear level of the area which affects all enemies. Fear is actually one of your biggest weapons. The more fear you are able to instill in your opponent the less effective they are in combat, and you can even make some so scared that they will run away and find a corner to hide in. There are several things you can do to create fear, including fancy fighting moves and environmental tools. Think of how the guards will feel when all the lights go out and then they hear a muffled scream. Yea, that's about the gist of the system. Another effect of making people so scared they crap themselves is that your reputation gradually increases over the course of the game. As you gain reputation it becomes easier to put baddies on edge and take care of them. Recall that Batman is new to Gotham, and isn't initially taken seriously. But, the higher your reputation gets, things go from, Look at the guy in the rubber suit,? to, Oh God. We're so screwed."
Movie based video games tend to fail for one simple reason; the game tries to recreate the movie scene for scene. Well, it finally looks as though some people have wised up. Eurocom has recruited the writer of both Splinter Cell and Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow, JT Petty, to rewrite the Batman Begins story to better fit a game. Thus, instead of recreating the movie, the game takes the main points of the movie and expands on them. This rewriting also means that there are no filler supervillains to bloat the game. That's right, no mysterious ties to Poison Ivy or the Joker, just the Scarecrow and his network of evil. While they want this game to be its own adventure, they still want it to have very direct ties to the movie. Eurocom accomplished this by getting their hands on the actors themselves to provide the voices of their in-game counterparts.
Though it's too early to tell if the fear system will actually live up to its potential, from the looks of things the game is definitely headed in the right direction. The movie may have some scars to heal, but the game has an even steeper mountain to climb. They have the talent and the resources, now all we have to do is wait and see if Eurocom and EA can pull this one off. Batman fans, June 15th might just be the day you have been waiting for for a long time.
