FDI possible in digital cross-border services
With regional nations racing to lower their taxes in order to woo more investment, which may dent their coffers, creating feasible policies for collecting taxes is expected to help reach their goals of attracting more high-quality funding.

According to investment experts like Vu Tu Thanh, deputy regional managing director and senior country representative of the US-ASEAN Business Council in Vietnam, instead of reducing taxes like corporate income tax (CIT), countries like Vietnam should pay attention to high-tech giants in combination with building suitable policies.
“In order to build a new and innovative strategy, we should understand how the economies over the world are developing, and how business models are changing to catch up with new technology trends,” said Thanh.
Besides manufacturing, which has been one of Vietnam’s key foreign direct investment (FDI) attraction sectors over the last three decades, more sophisticated production channels combined with complex global supply chains are on the rise, which are suitable with Resolution No.50-NQ/TW on orientations to perfect mechanisms and raise the quality and efficiency of FDI by 2030.
According to Thanh, the new subjects for FDI attraction could be cross-border digital platforms, which are much different from traditional channels. For example, although not establishing any office or representative in destination countries, tech giants like Amazon, Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Netflix, and Spotify have already poured a lot of money into developing their presence in markets like Vietnam.
“These cross-border products are generating the same profits that traditional investment channels create,” Thanh argued, adding that these digital platforms could not only offer additional income for the country but also offer jobs for locals.
“For instance, thanks to the localisation of Apple’s App Store, the Vietnamese app Flappy Bird has become popular all over the world, and a lot of small- and medium-sized enterprises can follow suit with cross-border digital and e-commerce offers, thus creating jobs for Vietnamese like foreign-invested enterprises do,” Thanh explained.
Regarding tax contributions of these companies, Thanh said that most countries are struggling to find the right policies for collecting CIT, pointing out that meanwhile, “most cross-border investors are ready to pay taxes if a proper and synchronous policy is issued.”
Currently, ASEAN countries are racing to reduce their CIT rates and offer aggressive tax incentives to foreign corporations.
Across the region, the average CIT rate has fallen over the last 10 years from 25.1 per cent in 2010 to 21.7 per cent this year, according to the Vietnam Institute for Economic and Policy Research (VEPR). But international institutions like the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development and the UN Conference on Trade and Development have repeatedly warned ASEAN to stop offering redundant tax incentives due to their costs on budget revenue, tax base erosion, and creating room for tax avoidance and evasion, according to Babeth Ngoc Han Lefeur, country director for Oxfam Vietnam, earlier this year.
In addition to such CIT cuts, the use of other enormous profit-based incentives to attract FDI, like tax holidays, are prevalent in ASEAN countries.
“However, the costs of redundant fiscal incentives can possibly exceed the benefits of additional FDI. Offering excessive CIT cuts poses a threat to national budget revenues,” Pham Van Long, researcher at VEPR argued. Currently, lost budget revenue due to CIT incentives is estimated at 6 per cent of GDP in Cambodia, 1 per cent GDP in Vietnam, equivalent to about $2-2.5 billion.
Ah Maftuchan, public policy analyst at the Perkumpulan Prakarsa Centre for Welfare Studies in Indonesia commented, “ASEAN countries cannot afford such losses in the current economic and social crises in our region. We need to make the choice, whether building sustainable societies better prepared to face future shocks or to help some companies minimising their tax bills. Who is coming first?”

Head to St Michael's Mount
Marazion, Cornwall
It’s not often you get to follow in a giant’s footsteps...
But stroll across the causeway at low tide to St Michael’s Mount, legendary home of the Cornish giant Cormoran, and you can do just that. This diminutive island, steeped in myth and legend, is topped by a fairy-turreted castle, passed down through generations of the St Aubyn family and still a family home today.
Adjoining the castle is a medieval priory, built after the island was bequeathed to Benedictine monks by William the Conqueror. Together with the village and its bustling harbour, they make an idyllic place to wander, whatever the season, but head down in the summer months for a dip in the glistening azure waters surrounding the island at high tide.

Monochrome marvel: Dolce & Gabbana’s latest London outpost scores flying colours
French-born Tokyo-based architect Gwenaël Nicolas has redesgined Dolce & Gabbana’s opulent Old Bond Street boutique
It’s been over a year since Dolce & Gabbana abandoned a homogenous approach to retail design, embarking on an extensive overhaul of its global boutique network. Integral to this brick and mortar revamp is the architect Gwenaël Nicolas, who unveiled a theatre-inspired Tokyo store for the brand last August, and a modern palazzo for its Milan flagship last November.
‘We’ve defined a new dynamic,’ says the French-born, Tokyo-based architect of the Italian brand’s Old Bond Street overhaul. Once simply a ground floor space, it has been transformed into a tremendous light-filled 2,350 sq m store, spanning six floors and housing Dolce & Gabbana’s men’s and women’s ready-to-wear, accessories, fine jewellery and watches collections. It also encompasses three private levels which, for the first time, act as a home to the brand’s extravagant Alta Gioielleria, Alta Moda and Alta Sartoria collections.
On Saturday evening, in celebration of the Old Bond Street opening (that debuted at the same time as the brand’s new Steven Harris-designed Rome boutique) the brand showcased its latest men’s and women’s couture collections across the rooms of its exclusive private appointments suite.
An ode to all things English, the ostentatious collection was awash with Union Jack motifs, regal tweeds, punky Kings Road plaids and sharp Savile Row suiting, all fit for a Pimms-fueled picnic at Buckingham Palace. Models ascended an ovular spiral staircase, constructed from an intricate patchwork of monochromatic marble, and sashayed across a catwalk surrounded by grey zinc Fornasetti furniture and illuminated by glittering chandeliers.
‘I call it the baroque poetry of nature,’ Nicolas says of the boutique’s design. Its floors are swathed in black and white marble, their veins evoking the meandering tributaries of rivers, molten lava or streaming calligraphy ink. ‘When you arrive in the store you feel like everything is moving, the floor makes you feel as if you are in the middle of a river. I also wanted to create lighting that wraps around you, without shadow, and makes you feel as if you are floating in space.’
Across its imaginative retail network, Dolce & Gabbana creates spaces that reflect its locations. At the brand’s St Barth store, white calypso and natural hemp upholstery evoke its tropical location. In Venice, mosaic and Murano glass details nod to the artisanal outputs of the city. ‘For Dolce & Gabbana, London is black and white,’ Nicolas says of the Old Bond Street store’s monochromatic sweep. ‘They wanted dignity, and for the store to be very classic and strong.’
Strength also lies in the boutique’s finishing touches. Sleek glass tables and shelves are framed in polished black walnut and steel. On the first floor – home of the men’s ready-to-wear collections – gold metal walls evoke streams of light and bring a modern edge to the brand’s gilded history. ’You feel like the sun of Sicily is part of the boutique,’ Nicolas says. ‘Similarly, in the Tokyo store, we created a big gold staircase, so that light shines through its centre.’
Of course, no Dolce & Gabbana store is complete with a brush of the baroque. The space is populated with antique chairs sourced from homes in Sicily, upholstered with faded velvet and framed in carved golden wood. Inside a fine jewellery consultation room, hidden behind an invisible door, walls are lined with luxurious black and gold Venetian fabric. ‘The space is about choreography, and how the people and the product move together,’ Nicolas says. ‘The store is a dialogue between designers who have two totally different languages. It is a canvas for our expressions.’

Markey And Kennedy Agree On Policies, Trade Blame For Negative Tone In Final Debate04:46

Sen. Edward Markey, left, debates challenger Rep. Joseph P. Kennedy III in the final debate leading up to the Democratic primary, Tuesday, Aug. 18, 2020, in Needham, Mass. (Barry Chin/The Boston Globe via AP, Pool)
Sen. Ed Markey and Rep. Joe Kennedy on Tuesday offered similar policy ideas during their final debate but blamed each other for the devolving tone and outside spending that has come to characterize their Democratic primary contest.
Separated by 35 years and seemingly little else, the candidates agreed on such progressive proposals as moving to a single-payer health care system, passing the Green New Deal to combat climate change, and reforming police agencies to address racial inequities in law enforcement.
Yet Markey accused Kennedy of allowing a super PAC linked to his famous family to "pollute" the election with negative ads. Kennedy, in turn, said the group only exists because Markey refused to renew a "people's pledge" to reject third-party spending that the senator made in a previous campaign.
Two weeks before primary day, and with some voters already casting ballots by mail, Markey and Kennedy are neck and neck, according to the RealClearPolitics polling average.
The tight race has turned tense in recent weeks, with each candidate assailing the other's record on racial justice.
In Tuesday's debate, Kennedy again criticized Markey for opposing court-ordered busing to desegregate Boston Public Schools in the 1970s. Markey has countered that he changed his position on busing decades ago.
Kennedy also invoked the family of D.J. Henry, a Black college student from Massachusetts who was shot and killed by a white police officer in 2010. Henry's parents are outspoken supporters of Kennedy and have publicly criticized Markey for, in their view, doing too little to achieve justice for their son.
"A mom and dad came to a United States senator to ask for his help in providing justice for a murdered son, and they got nothing in response," Kennedy said.
Markey disputed the notion that he did "nothing," noting he joined other members of the Massachusetts delegation in signing letters to the Justice Department on the Henrys' behalf. But he acknowledged that his effort has disappointed the Henrys and repeated an apology he previously issued to the family.
Markey insisted that, in general, he responds to and fights for the people he represents.
"In terms of my constituent work, I am proud of it," he said. "And I work very hard in order to make sure that I deliver for the people of Massachusetts, and I've done that consistently throughout my career. And whether it be the fishermen, the gig workers, the opioid crisis, that is who I have been throughout my career."
Markey, somewhat surprisingly, did not raise Kennedy's decision, two decades ago, to join the Stanford University chapter of Kappa Alpha, a national fraternity with deeply racist roots. Markey has attacked Kennedy's Kappa Alpha membership in the past, and the fraternity was the subject of a front-page Boston Globe story Tuesday.
In perhaps the most emotional moment of the debate, Kennedy appeared to agonize over a question about whether Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev should be eligible for parole. A federal appeals court recently overturned Tsarnaev's death sentence, and the Boston Bar Association is urging the Justice Department to pursue life in prison, instead.
Markey and Kennedy generally oppose life sentences without opportunities for parole, but Markey said, "I would make an exception for a terrorist."
Kennedy, however, said, "I stand by my position." He emphasized that "the possibility of parole doesn't mean you're granted it," adding "Before any decision would be made on that specific case, those victims' families need to be heard loud and clear."

A Very Close Read of Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper's Oscars Performance
What to Watch for at the 2019 Academy Awards: An Oscars Precap
On the Most Memorable Moment of the 2019 Academy Awards
By Sam Eichner · February 25, 2019
It all happened so fast.
From the stage we watched as the lights flared and the opening riff rang out like a call to prayer. A grand piano and a single microphone stood on stage, waiting expectantly, as the pair walked tenderly onto the stage, hand-in-hand, where she took up her post beside the piano and he sat perched on the stool, eyes staring into her soul.
“Tell me somethin' girl...” he began, his voice smooth and clear but resounding with a surprising tenuousness. The undeniable gravelly crooning of Jackson Maine this was not. This was something else.
Without a host to break up the segments, the Oscars were forced to transition quickly, from one presenter and award to the next. Mostly, this was done out of necessity. Yet with the performance of “Shallow,” it seemed to become a directorial choice. The suddenness, the casualness, the whatever-ness of its unveiling, or utter lack thereof, had the effect of turning the viewer into a version of Ally, waiting in the wings at her first Jackson Maine concert and hearing, unmistakably, the opening notes of her song. With its camera angled to look out at members of the audience, their faces masked by the glare, the Oscars pushed us all onto that stage.
In A Star Is Born, it’s Cooper’s Maine who ushers Gaga’s Ally into the spotlight. He is the surefooted veteran; she is the reluctant talent. Before the telecast, it was announced that Cooper and Gaga would not be performing “Shallow” as Jackson and Ally Maine, but as themselves. At the time, this seemed to me like a strange pronouncement to make: Well, of course they would. Right? Yet as the song unfolded, this somewhat redundant fact breathed new life into a tune fans have been listening to on and off since October.
There was none of the stiltedness of the impromptu Vegas performance, during which Cooper (as Cooper) joined Gaga (as Gaga) on stage for a rendition of “Shallow.” But it was clear the roles had been reversed. Cooper, in his natural register, sings the opening verse with the wavering voice of an amateur, trying to slow things downs to counteract his nerves. Gaga looks more comfortable; you can see her listening. At one point, she gingerly brings a hand to her own waist, as if to seal inside the range of feelings Cooper has inspired. When she sits down at the piano and starts to sing, unleashing the full-throated emotion we’ve come to expect from Gaga (not Ally), it’s obvious that she’s the star. In a way, their performance felt like a spiritual coda to A Star Is Born, if Ally Maine went on to become Lady Gaga and Jackson Maine went up to heaven but descended back down to earth as Bradley Cooper—thinner and more manicured, his skin unhardened by substance abuse and his voice expunged of pain—to join her on stage for one triumphant reunion at an awards ceremony in which he does not piss his pants.
It’s hard not to conflate the fates of Gaga-as-Ally-as-Gaga and Cooper-as-Jackson-as-Cooper in other ways, too. Did Gaga not just break up with her longtime fiancé? Did Cooper’s wife, the supermodel Irina Shayk, not appear a bit wooden? And most importantly: if Gaga and Cooper are indeed performing as themselves, and not their characters, then what is to account for their incredible chemistry, the palpable warmth of their gazes as Gaga kicks the song into gear and breaks into those headbuzz-inducing ululations?
Small details, upon repeat viewings, blow up to giant clues. There’s the swagger with which Cooper gets up from his seat and scoops up the microphone stand, on his path to Gaga. There’s the purposeful way he hitches up his pants before sitting down next to her on the piano bench—an action which, according to New Yorker film critic Richard Brody, “is better acting than he did in the whole film.” And then, of course, there’s the way he leans in to share her microphone like he’s leaning in to kiss her, the way her head tilts to meet his, their eyes closed but lids aflutter, faces grazing and framed in a close-up Cooper himself might’ve selected.
For a night history may want to forget, “Shallow” was an indelible Oscars moment. But it was also a moment moment, both bigger and smaller, and more and less significant, than the awards themselves ever could be.
Sam Eichner likes literature, reality television and his twin cats equally. He has consistently been told he needs a shave since he started growing facial hair.

Link Wray - Link Wray [LP] (gatefold)
Recorded in a shaky makeshift chicken shack in rural Maryland, Link Wray’s eponymous 1971 solo album is a compelling and forward-looking piece of honest, handmade Americana. This album is vastly different from his previous work, foregoing instrumentals entirely. Instead, Wray, left with only one lung following a bout with tuberculosis in 1956, gives us his raw voice, full of spit and vinegar, as he blends elements of country, rock ‘n’ roll, roots, folk and gospel marked with fuzzy guitar and booming percussion. He kicks off with a track, “La De Da”, that may be the greatest song the Stones never wrote. Elsewhere, the single “Fallin’ Rain” channels Dylan at his most political, with lyrics about “stabbings and shootings and young men dying all around.” Link Wray proved to be the only album that the guitarist issued in his own name to hit the American charts during his nearly 50-year recording career. Although it didn’t receive much critical acclaim at the time of its release, Link Wray has seen a resurgence in recent years and developed a cult following, with artists from Nick Cave to The Neville Brothers recording versions of its tracks.
Link Wray’s musical journey began early, with his father Fred taking up the family music business. Link, along with brothers Vernon and Doug began playing together professionally in 1942, their rowdy instrumental single “Rumble” charting at number 16 in 1958. Following a string of hits on Philadelphia-based Swan Records, Vernon began to serve as the family’s producer, eventually starting his own studio; first in the basement of his home and then-after his wife Evelyn complained about the noise-in a converted shack on the property. It was there that Link, Vernon and producer Steve Verroca found a sound that marked “a return to simplicity.” This carefully remastered reissue will take you right back to that chicken shack, and to sessions so electric you can almost feel the atmosphere.

Global Balanced
Global Conservative
U.S. Sector
Large-Cap Core Equity
Global Conservative portfolio outlook, positioning, and attribution as of 9/30/2020
We expect economic recovery and expansion to continue in the U.S., as fiscal support has more than offset aggregate income losses and, thus, we believe provides a bridge for consumption into 2021.
The recovery has varied across the U.S. economy, but fiscal stimulus has more than offset the income decline from recent job losses and, with an ongoing recovery in wages & salaries, should support continued consumption growth.
Despite a significant stock market rebound, we believe U.S. equity valuations remain attractive compared to history when adjusted for the record low level of long-term interest rates.
Internationally, Europe already had a weak economy before the pandemic, in our view, and is now facing renewed pandemic lockdowns, while economic data has shown that Emerging Asia leads other regions in its economic recovery, which should support positive GDP and earnings growth 2020 and 2021.
While risks remain, we anticipate more economically sensitive equity sectors and regions will benefit from early-phase cyclical tailwinds as earnings growth rebounds with economic recovery.
Corporate bond yields remain elevated relative to Treasury bonds, and we believe there is room for rates to move higher and for credit spreads to narrow to non-recessionary levels as the economic recovery continues to take shape.
Portfolio Positioning
We have continued to shift away from the relatively defensive portfolio positioning in place at the start of the COVID-19 crisis, while seeking to balance opportunity against ongoing medical, political, and economic risks.
Since late Q1, we have increased exposures to more economically-sensitive areas of the markets, including adding to Emerging Asia exposure and establishing allocations to U.S. Financials, Industrials, Energy, and small cap equities; and we reduced exposure to less economically sensitive U.S. sectors, like Consumer Staples and Utilities.
We have moved to an overweight of Emerging Asian equities, which provides exposure to favorable secular trends in the Information Technology, Communication Services, and Consumer Discretionary sectors, while we maintain an underweight to Europe and Japan.
Within the fixed-income allocation, we retain an overweight to investment-grade corporate bonds and a shorter average duration than the benchmark to manage interest rate risk.

Dio Mio Team Launches Redeemer Pizza
Will Great Divide and Yeti Coolers Go to Blows Over Trademark?
The Biennial of the Americas hopes beer will change your view of how the city looks
Jonathan Shikes
| Beer Man |
Jonathan Shikes | July 11, 2013 | 4:40pm
Is designing a great beer comparable to drafting the look of a great city? Can brewers take inspiration from the architecture around them when they make a great draft beer? Do city planning and beer go together particularly well in Denver?
The organizers behind the Biennial of the Americas will look for answers to these questions next week when they host Craft Urbanism: Beer Gardens in the City, an arty "pop-up" event near the Cherry Creek River that ties Denver's cityscape together with its well-known suds-scape.

Four Denver breweries will be serving beer in four adjacent patches of downtown on July 20 in order "to offer a unique view of the city and draw attention to different aspects of Denver's urban design," says Mardee Goff, who helped planned the beer pop-ups.
"These spaces aren't really used for gatherings," she explains. "The bridge is used for commuting; the alleys are used for deliveries. So we are making people rethink their urban environment and rethink the way the city has been structured."
With beer.
"We want people to appreciate the way cities are planned, the beauty, but also the shortcomings and why things are the way they are...and beer gardens are an appealing platform to start with. We can engage the public and pull on Denver's beer culture."
To do that, she enlisted the help of Wynkoop Brewing and Great Divide, two of the city's oldest and most well-known breweries, along with Strange Brewing and Denver Beer Co, which helped inaugurate a new wave of Mile High breweries in the past three years.
Denver Beer Co, which is the the official brewery of the Biennial, is even making a beer just for the four-day celebration of arts and culture, which starts July 16. Biennial Maya Nut Brown was brewed with ingredients from all across the Americas, including malted barley from Canada and Patagonia, hops from Colorado and Maya nuts from Honduras and Nicaragua, says Denver Beer Co co-owner Patrick Crawford.
Activists and agricultural workers in Central America are working to turn the Maya Nut into a cash crop that will help prevent deforestation and support impoverished communities there at the same time, according to Crawford and Goff.
The beer will include coffee, chocolate and mocha flavors; Denver Beer Co made 75 kegs of it and will serve the beer at various Biennial events around town.
"We want this to be an enjoyable experience first and foremost and one that will give people a chance to experience Denver in a unique way that they wouldn't normally do," Goff says. "They'll rethink the way a city is planned...and take away a sample of beer."
The beer pop-ups will be open from 4 to 8 p.m. on Saturday, July 20, along the Wynkoop Pedestrian Bridge on 14th Street between Wynkoop and Wazee; and in the alley between the Cherry Creek Trail and 15th Street. Beers cost $4 each, but you can buy a $12 advance ticket through the Biennial's website to get four twelve-ounce beers for the price of three.

What's on Netflix > Netflix News > ‘Virgin River’ Renewed for Season 3 Ahead of Season 2 Netflix Release
‘Virgin River’ Renewed for Season 3 Ahead of Season 2 Netflix Release
by Kasey Moore @kasey__moore on July 23, 2020, 9:05 am EST
Virgin River – Picture: Netflix
Virgin River, one of the excellent feel-good dramas to arrive on Netflix recently, is returning for season three ahead of its scheduled season two summer 2020 release date on Netflix.
For those unaware, the series stars Tim Matheson, Jenny Cooper, Alexandra Breckenridge, Colin Lawrence, Benjamin Hollingsworth and Grayson Maxwell Gurnsey. It’s about a midwife who retreats into northern California after several traumatic events.
It’s a small-town show that could ordinarily be found on networks such as Hallmark or ABC.
Season two was due to release over Netflix in the summer but isn’t currently listed for an August release meaning it’s likely it won’t be available until September or October 2020 at the earliest.
We’ve heard that season three of Virgin River has been given the green light from Netflix and is due to get underway with filming in a month.
It’s not entirely rare for shows to be renewed before a season has even dropped on Netflix. Orange is the New Black was renewed for multiple seasons several years ago and The Umbrella Academy recently reportedly followed suit. In fact, Virgin River season two was renewed ahead of season one even dropping on Netflix.
The series, as you may know, is filmed in Vancouver which is currently set to reopen filming over the next few months (although that could change at a moment’s notice given the fluidity of the COVID situation).
Currently, according to ProductionWeekly, filming of season three of Virgin River is due to start from August 25th through December 11th.
This could mean we see season three of Virgin River added to Netflix in late 2021, but could even be 2020. Again, it’s too early to say given how up in the air everything is regarding filming right now.
Sea to Sea Productions will continue running the show with showrunner Sue Tenney continuing in post for season three. Roma Roth and Chris Perry are listed as producers.
While you’re waiting for both seasons two and three to hit Netflix, go ahead and check out our recommendations on what to watch next which includes Sweet Magnolias (currently waiting for a season two renewal).

‘Bills Mafia’ celebrates win by donating to Lamar Jackson’s favorite charity
Richardson scores go-ahead goal as Preds beat Columbus 5-2
US Navy dedicates Japan-based destroyer to US Sen. McCain
The head of the U.S. Navy’s has dedicated one of two destroyers involved in fatal accidents in the Pacific last year to Sen. John McCain.
Navy Secretary Richard Spencer added McCain’s name Thursday to a Japan-based warship that was already named for the Arizona senator’s father and grandfather.
He said after a ceremony aboard the USS John S. McCain that recommended changes to naval practices since the accidents have been 78 percent implemented.
Seventeen sailors died after the McCain and the USS Fitzgerald collided with commercial vessels in separate incidents.
The ship was named after McCain’s father and grandfather when it was launched in 1994. McCain is a Navy veteran. He is battling brain cancer.
Spencer said that McCain always put country first, as a warrior and a statesman.

Some upset after Piatt Park homicide suspect receives $100K bail
Defense attorney: Bond is enough to make defendant show up in court
John London
Bond was set Thursday for the Piatt Park murder suspect.Fonte Williams, who was arrested Wednesday by Cincinnati police, had his bail set at $100,000.Municipal Judge Cheryl Grant set the amount as the 22-year-old defendant made his first appearance in court in connection with Monday night's shooting death of Joshua Taylor.Watch this storyPolice said it happened at Piatt Park in the early evening during what they described as "a brief altercation.”Williams stood next to a public defender who told the court, "Your Honor, Mr. Williams understands that he'll be staying here until this case is resolved. We just ask the court to set whatever bond it feels appropriate."The state asked for a high bond, per the usual in homicide cases.Jaushua Davis, who is a bishop at Willing Spirit Church in Westwood, a youth pastor and a onetime mentor of the murder victim, was incredulous when he heard the bond amount."One hundred thousand dollars?" Davis asked.

CINCINNATI —
Bond was set Thursday for the Piatt Park murder suspect.
Fonte Williams, who was arrested Wednesday by Cincinnati police, had his bail set at $100,000.

Municipal Judge Cheryl Grant set the amount as the 22-year-old defendant made his first appearance in court in connection with Monday night's shooting death of Joshua Taylor.

Police said it happened at Piatt Park in the early evening during what they described as "a brief altercation.”
Williams stood next to a public defender who told the court, "Your Honor, Mr. Williams understands that he'll be staying here until this case is resolved. We just ask the court to set whatever bond it feels appropriate."
The state asked for a high bond, per the usual in homicide cases.
Jaushua Davis, who is a bishop at Willing Spirit Church in Westwood, a youth pastor and a onetime mentor of the murder victim, was incredulous when he heard the bond amount.
"One hundred thousand dollars?" Davis asked. "On a murder?"
Davis sat Thursday near the spot where Taylor was killed Monday and three others were wounded Tuesday night.
Davis said he is offering space for a fundraiser to try to help the family pay for funeral expenses.
He noted the police presence again today at Vine Street and Garfield Place. It continued as an effort to ensure safety and bolster the image of a remade downtown as safe. Davis sees it as misleading and indicative of misplaced priorities.
"They care about downtown. I'm not saying they don't care that a young man got shot, but this is another black, young male dead by another young black male and people are more concerned with the safety and image of downtown," Davis said.
Wednesday, Police Chief Jeffrey Blackwell emphasized to media that downtown is safe and that shootings and overall instances of violent crime are roughly 20 percent lower than they were a year ago.
He took pains to point out that gunfire such as Piatt Park experienced on successive nights would not be tolerated.
Davis believes the extent of media coverage is directly related to the pursuit of protecting downtown's image as if it was more important than the life that was lost.
"A lot of the people that are not affluent are upset about that and you can't blame them because they're young and all they think about is don't nobody care about us,” Davis told WLWT News 5. "Then, some people go to the courthouse and the bond is $100,000."

Opinion/Sarah Connell Sanders: Worcester fashion thrives on customization, hand sewn details and subversive graphics
By Sarah Connell Sanders
Growing up, I read the same tattered copy of “Treasure Island” over and over. I liked to draw my own treasure maps and bury things in the yard. I designed elaborate scavenger hunts for my cousins, culminating in piles of yellow painted rocks. Robert Louis Stevenson’s original title for the novel was “The Sea Cook: A Story for Boys” — a bold assertion I saw as a challenge. Girls like finding treasure, too.
As a grown woman, I’ve fixed my attention on a new bounty: exclusive apparel. The thrill comes in many forms. Sometimes I search for my fortune in the racks of Sweet Janes Designer Consignment on Main Street. For a quick fix, I temporarily drape myself in Jason Wu knits, on loan from Rent the Runway. And, when I’m really yearning for a quest, I enable the SNKRS app on my phone and dream big as the notifications roll in.
I’ve been marooned in Worcester for most of 2020, but my fashion sense hasn’t suffered for it. There’s a budding streetwear scene happening in our city, defined by creative customization, hand sewn details and subversive design.
Customization: Sarahndipity Thrift Shop (www.sarahndipitythriftshop.com)
Sarah Anzalone uses donated and thrifted clothes to refresh her online inventory every month. “I go through the pieces to see how I can revamp them to be on-trend,” said Anzalone. “Sometimes this involves cropping, bleach dyeing, or simply fixing up a loose button or broken zipper.” Anzalone began upcycling her own wardrobe at age 12 and eventually earned a degree in fashion design from Mount Ida College.
Sarahndipity’s affordability and small carbon footprint make the local brand a worthy opponent for fast fashion. “I believe this is the future of sustainable style,” Anzalone explained. “Instead of throwing away used clothing, my brand recycles it and revamps it.”
Sarahndipity’s focus goes beyond environmental victories; it’s about conviction. “I want to influence my customers to be confident in wearing revamped recycled fashion,” Anzalone said.
Hand Sewn Details: Haus of Maccadü
Vance “Macc” Wentworth’s first collection was called “The Arrival" and drew attention on account of its intricate hand sewn detailing.
“The concept was about the arrival of the brand, but it also marked my emergence in the art form,” said Wentworth. “The visuals were all about people waiting for the bus, waiting for the train, waiting for a ride — and all of those vehicles symbolized my actual brand arrival.”
Haus of Maccadü’s evolution can be broken down into sagas. “A saga is a complex story,” said Wentworth, “And, because I had a message contained within every one of my pieces, I started to view each collection as its own complex story.” The sagas became intertwined and connected in meaningful ways for the designer, who was inspired by individuals he encountered day to day in Worcester.
“I'd make one pattern based on a grandpa's favorite sweater,” he said. “Then, I'd design a yellow top based on a girl who always wears red lipstick — the yellow draws your eye up to her mouth.”
Haus of Maccadü has been a long road for Wentworth. “I want people to know that no matter your circumstance, as long as you have a dream, as long as your heart is beating, success is very, very possible,” he said. “I have no budget, no investors, nobody mentoring me, nobody to pay me for my motivation to get up and do what I do on a daily basis, except myself.” Above all else, Wentworth believes that if you embrace yourself every day, no matter your circumstance, your dream can come to fruition.
You can learn more about Haus of Maccadü in this week’s “Last Call” feature for Worcester Magazine.
Subversive Tees: Hundred Acre Apparel (https://hundredacreapparel.com)
I hit the in-law lottery with Emily and Jonnie Coutu, the trendy older siblings I’ve always longed for. The creative duo began their handcrafted furniture business, Hundred Acre Design, selling kitchen islands made from reclaimed bowling alley wood. The brand reflected Emily’s extensive experience as an architectural designer and Jonnie’s attention to detail as a photographer and craftsman. They recently pivoted to apparel.
“Hundred Acre has always been about finding a way to make functional art to help sustain us both financially and creatively,” Emily explained. “We know that people can only buy so many kitchen islands, but designing apparel has been a natural way to keep doing what we love.”
The first T-shirt the Coutus released depicted a monkey wrench patent, invented in Worcester. “We developed a whole collection featuring Worcester inventions and soon noticed people were buying our T-shirts more frequently than our furniture at Crompton Collective,” said Jonnie.
This week, the couple dropped their latest collection, “The Glass Ceiling,” celebrating symbols of feminist icons like Amelia Earhart, Ella Fitzgerald and Ruth Bader Ginsburg. One dollar from every sale in the collection benefits the organization Girls Who Code.
“I’m usually behind the scenes,” said Emily, “but, for this new series, I had a lot of input and I decided to approach our marketing a little bit differently.” She wanted to appeal to “professional shoppers” like herself and elevate the structure of a basic T-shirt. “We did a ton of research on the fabric and how these shirts fit over the years,” she explained. “I wanted to make it ‘fashion.’”
Hypebeast’s 2019 Streetwear Impact Report links successful streetwear brands to the skateboarding scene along with a deep sense of skepticism and exclusivity, qualities which resonate for the Coutus. “Our most popular shirt is the ‘So Worcester, it hurts.’ design,” said Jonnie. “I would call that the king of skepticism.”
He’s no stranger to skateboarding culture either. “I feel like skateboarders have always been ahead of their time with fashion,” he said. “A skateboarder would wear something in Thrasher or Transworld, and two months later it would be on a model in a magazine. I think that connects back to skepticism; the anti-trend becomes the trend.”
When he posted a photo of a friend doing a kickflip in a Hundred Acre spacesuit shirts, online sales immediately shot up. Jonnie admitted his own skateboarding has waned in recent years.
“You definitely still have a skateboarder’s mentality,” replied Emily. Not everything is by design.
On a related note: We know Worcester loves T-shirts, as proven by the success of stores like Worcester Wares. Support your local restaurants, breweries and sports teams this holiday season by purchasing their original merch.

I-TEAM: Status Zero ... What we know about Aiken County’s EMS crisis
By Liz Owens
Published: Oct. 12, 2020 at 6:30 PM EDT
AIKEN COUNTY, S.C. (WRDW/WAGT) - The weight of COVID-19 is exposing cracks in fragile EMS systems across the country. Staffing shortages are exasperated by emergency responders exposed to the virus and in quarantine. Meanwhile, able-bodied ambulance crews are tied up for longer periods of time outside of hospitals waiting on beds to open for their patients. However, the struggle to respond to calls in Aiken County began long before the pandemic.
Status Zero is the code for dispatchers use when there are no available ambulances to respond to a call. Aiken County went to Status Zero more than a hundred times over the last 5 months, leaving some citizens waiting hours for help.
Glenn Poole knows what it takes to survive. He’s kept the Hollow Creek fire department alive on a near-to-nothing budget for decades. He is fighting now to keep himself alive.
The chief only remembers the hours before his seizure on May 28.
The CAD report for the seizure 911 call.(WRDW)
“My eyes started turning and my head started moving back and forth, and then I fell over and stopped breathing,” Poole said.
Doctors would find the tumor in his brain days later.
“I said, ‘Where am I at?’ She said, ‘You are in the hospital.’ ‘What for?’ She started telling me about a seizure. I don’t remember nothing.”
The I-Team obtained documents and calls which tell a story of a life nearly lost and a county in crisis.
Traffic chatter on Poole’s seizure helps paint the picture of that night.
“1920 Aiken: Send first responders out. I need a medic,” the first responder said.
“10-4. Standby. We have another call,” dispatch responded.
On the day of Poole’s seizure, Aiken County EMS went to Status Zero.
Dispatch sent Southstar Emergency Medical Services. Southstar is the private ambulance service contracted with the Aiken County to respond to calls when county ambulances are busy.
“It took over two and half hours for them to get me to the hospital,” Poole said.
Two hours and 29 minutes to be exact, according to the report. It takes 53 minutes for the Southstar ambulance just to get to Poole and then a tire on the ambulance blew. It takes another hour and 6 minutes to get another ambulance from another county to get him to the hospital.
“You have what you call the golden hour -- we are all taught that and have been taught that for years. Basically, that’s from the time you have the incident to the time you get to the hospital. That one hour is that key. Getting there in that first hour can make a difference between life and death,” New Holland Fire Chief Dennis Jackson said.
But what’s the state of EMS in Aiken County?
“Right now? It is kind of scary,” Jackson said. “A lot of times they go Status Zero and Status Zero means there is not an ambulance available in Aiken County.”
Remember Aiken County went Status Zero on the day Poole had his seizure. Poole didn’t need EMS on a busy day. He needed EMS on what we found is a typical day in Aiken County.
The I-Team tracked four months' worth of data from Aiken County EMS. The county went to Status Zero 118 times in 123 days.
Aug 2020 (1).docx by Jeremy Turnage
August 2020 (1).docx by Jeremy Turnage
Out of that, there were 160 pending calls -- people -- waiting for an ambulance when there is no ambulance around.
“Status Zero is absolutely unacceptable,” South Carolina House District 86 Rep. Bill Taylor said. “It’s a problem. It’s a deadly problem.”
Taylor’s district covers more than half of Aiken County, which includes Windsor.
On June 29, this call came into Aiken County dispatch from Chantilly Road in Windsor:
This CAD report shows what happened when a heart attack was called in on June 29 in Windsor.(WRDW)
Dispatch: “Aiken County 911.”
Caller: “Yes, ma’am, I need an ambulance.”
Dispatch “For what?”
Caller: “I think my husband has had a heart attack or something. Jimmy! Jimmy! My husband can’t breathe and can’t move.”
It took 24 minutes from the call for help for help to arrive. Help would have come from Aiken County ambulance had the county not been in Status Zero. Help would have come from 2.4 miles away had the nearest county EMS station been open. Instead, help came from a Southstar ambulance 13.5 miles away. It was too late to save 59-year-old James Moulton Sr. by the time Southstar got to Windsor from the Aiken County Library. Folk Funeral home posted his survivors include “his loving wife of 43 years.”
“You would think it was because of call volume but it is not. It’s because they are closing down of three, four stations a day,” Jackson said.
There are 10 Aiken County EMS stations throughout the county, but data from the last four months shows all 10 stations are never open on the same day. At most? Seven out of 10 are open. Stations 1 through 5 stay open but the rest periodically close. Station 8 or Sage Mill by Bridgestone never opened even for even one day.
This call came from Bridgestone on June 23:
Caller: “Bridgestone, need an ambulance en route EMS en route to this location. I have a male, age unknown, with crushing injuries to the chest.”
This CAD document shows the incident involving a crushed chest.(WRDW)
It took 17 minutes for an Aiken County ambulance to get to Bridgestone. Had the county ambulance come from Station 8 or Sage Mill, directly across the street from Bridgestone, then it would have taken a minute. Andrew “Andy” Hobbs, 58, died when he got to the hospital. His obituary on Beggs Funeral Home’s website states, “he was well known for his kind spirit.”
We asked Rep. Taylor why he thought the county was in this type of situation.
“I don’t serve on the county council, so I don’t know how things happened,” Taylor said. “I am a state representative. This is a county issue, so I don’t know how it transpired over the years.”
“If something happens to me, then I told my wife put me in the car and take me to Columbia. Don’t wait on an ambulance,” Jackson said.
Jackson is so concerned that he’s spoken publicly to Aiken County’s top leaders in July.
“We are here tonight to plead with county officials to fix the problems now. This is not something we can wait on the lives of the citizens of our county and the thousands who travel through our great county hang in the balance every day,” Jackson told the Aiken County Council in July.
Aiken County Administrator Clay Killian tells us a solution is in the works, but it will take time. He acknowledged the danger of the situation.
“It could be. We understand that and we are trying to address it,” Killian said.
Chief Poole cannot afford to wait the next time. He knows what could have happened if he weren’t lucky.
“Probably would have died,” Poole said.
A Good Samaritan kept him alive until the ambulance arrived.
“I feel like the Lord saved me for a lot of things,” Poole said.
Poole believes God has kept him alive since then to tell his story and make changes in the county he has served for the last three decades.
Aiken County Council passed a resolution in Augusta to address the EMS crisis. It’s not the first time council has tried to improve the county’s ambulance service. Will it work this time? Our investigation into Status Zero continues Thursday.

In honor of National Poetry Month, the best poets in America share the poets and poetry that have influenced and inspired their own writing.
The world of poetry can be an insulated one in which writers feed off of each other’s creativity, emotion and spirit. We asked some of the best poets in America about the poets and poetry that have influenced and inspired their own writing.
“I’m asked a lot about influences, and I usually respond in different ways. Sometimes I will say Yeats, when I’m feeling nostalgic about my first deep encounters with poetry. Sometimes I will say middle-period Robert Lowell and all of Elizabeth Bishop after her first book, when I’m thinking technically. Sometimes I will say Ella Fitzgerald, because her ease combined with her purity and accuracy seem to me the model of all aesthetic virtue. Sometimes, when I’m willing to recognize that I live in a period of history, I will talk about the Ashbery of “The Double Dream of Spring” or Mark Strand. Preponderantly, though, I would probably say Whitman – not because I’m anything like him (who could be like Whitman?) but because of the frankness of the scope and the scale, because of his willingness to take it all on. He really is the true teacher in that way. Go for it, Whitman always says, which is something every poet should say to him or herself when he or she sits down to write. “Song of Myself” is still my favorite piece of literature.”
—Vijay Seshadri, 2014 Pulitzer Prize for Poetry winner, 3 Sections
“There are poets and poems I return to regularly when I am writing—Wallace Stevens’ Auroras of Autumn, H. D.’s Trilogy, Elizabeth Bishop’s “The Moose,” Hart Crane’s “Proem” to “The Bridge,” Hopkins’ sonnets – but while writing Crow-Work and a forthcoming book Augury I have been reading a great deal of work in translation: René Char, Jean Follain, Anna Swir, Paul Celan, Zbigniew Herbert, Wang Wei. When I look at the list I just mentioned, I notice that each of these poets in translation (and I know them only in translation) manage to use the confines of the lyric space to attempt things a more expansive and expository poetry might, yet the poems remain lean, spar, austere and somehow radiant with mystery and the withheld. These are qualities I admire in these poets and can only hope my poems evidence my apprenticeship to their poems. “
—Eric Pankey, Crow-Work
“As a child, I stumbled upon the work of James Whitcomb Riley. I can’t remember where or how, whether I was in school or saw a book at the library. Around the age of 13, my mother, knowing my love for Riley, discovered his collection Love-Lyrics at an antiques store in Phoenix. I own this book over 30 years later and still consider Riley the founding father of my own ascent into poetry. In Riley’s words, I found emotions I was certain I felt too; I discovered topics I’d yet to experience, such as romantic love, death and grief, complexities of the heart too profound for a child of 13 to possibly grasp, but those complexities did not stop my heart from pounding in my chest or the tears from gathering in my eyes. I believe that Riley inspired me to be honest and unafraid, and taught me that a poem about something as simple as the fall of a lover’s hair was nothing short of a celebration.”
—Lisa Zaran, If It We
“I love so many poets, but perhaps the poet who has influenced me the most is Bernadette Mayer. I came to her work later as a reader of poetry, in my early 20s, but once I grabbed hold of her voice, I never let go. I felt an instant kinship with her from second one of reading her and have strived to write poetry like her ever since. What Mayer does is to combine the ragged beauty of everyday conversation with a classic lyricism to bring about a jagged song that is horned, multi-layered, and singular. And she does it all with a constant wink to both past and present readers, and most importantly, to all of her future ones as well. I think all poetry should do what she does so immeasurably well.”
—Dorothea Lasky, Rome
“When I read Muriel Rukeyser’s The Book of the Dead many years ago, I felt deep in my marrow the beauty and necessity of it. Employing a range of poetic forms (from blues to sonnets to documentary found poems employing court records), Rukeyser honors the voices and stories of West Virginia miners and their families who struggled to make sense of why they were dying from silicosis. Rukeyser may well be the secret grandmother of poets C.D. Wright and Carolyn Forche and Mark Nowak and Claudia Rankine; her poem granted me the grand permission to see writing as a medium for voices that typically are marginalized or excluded from poetry and literature.”
—Philip Metres, Sand Opera
“For me, influence means much more than literary inspiration – it also includes spiritual and moral inspiration. In my most recent book, each section begins with an homage that pays its respects to a person, or a way of writing, or both. The people mentioned in the poems – Zinedine Zidane, the ethnic Algerian, French soccer player; Basho, the 17th Century Japanese poet; Mary Hamilton, the subject of an old Scots border ballad and Cesar Vallejo, the Peruvian poet – are all outsiders whose path through life eventually pits them against a hostile authority. For Basho, underneath the Buddhist pieties, I admire his precision, the absence of emotional bilge in his portrayals of prostitutes and beggars he meets along the road. And in the case of Vallejo, I love how his oblique, linguistic wildness inoculates him against ‘cause poetry,’ even as it takes on his imprisonment as a political agitator, and his devotion to the Spanish Civil War.”
—Tom Sleigh, Station Zed
“My first memorable encounter with poetry occurred my senior year of high school. Another English teacher stopped into our class, in what seemed like a whim, and read us a Browning poem (I think it was a love poem). I don’t remember the content, but I remember being hit in the chest with it, it unscrewing my head. It struck me dumb; I was almost weepy. It was beautiful, but I could not articulate the nature of its beauty. While Browning hasn’t really influenced my poetry – at least, I don’t think he has – I chase that effect, an ineffable force that is less transcendent than immanent, so immediately human: not a language of experience, but language as experience. Mostly I go to Hopkins and Dickinson for it. Lately, I have been turning to William Bronk. These writers are influences like gravity is an influence.”
—Jordan Windholz, Other Psalms
“It’s tremendously important to me to read the work of my peers, especially women writers and especially women writers with children. Reading contemporary work makes me feel like I’m writing in conversation with other poets, that I am not alone. There are also many older poets whose poetry has been essential to my work (and my life). I wrote a memoir, MOTHERs, about my relationships with other poets. James Schuyler, Wayne Koestenbaum, Sharon Olds, Adrienne Rich, Jorie Graham, Brenda Hillman and Alice Notley. I love the strength, confidence, strangeness of Notley’s work. The bigness of it. I also admire her long, intense writerly life. I am currently rereading all of Louise Gluck and Anne Carson. I love language and can’t love poems that don’t do something incredible with language, but poetry, for me, is also about how to live a life. Poetry helps me live my life.”
—Rachel Zucker, The Pedestrians

Hatfield strangler thought victim 'Was evil spirit'
Published: 5:22 PM October 21, 2009 Updated: 8:06 PM November 3, 2020
A MAN overtaken by a psychotic episode almost strangled a woman to death believing she was possessed by an evil spirit. Samuel Yinusa wrapped a blue scarf around his victim s neck and still had hold of it as policemen burst into his bedroom in St Audreys
A MAN overtaken by a psychotic episode almost strangled a woman to death believing she was possessed by an evil spirit.
Samuel Yinusa wrapped a blue scarf around his victim's neck and still had hold of it as policemen burst into his bedroom in St Audreys Close, Hatfield.
But a jury took just 20 minutes to find him not guilty of attempted murder, by reason of insanity.
A neighbour had reported hearing screaming, but by the time police arrived the young woman "looked like a blood-sodden rag doll" and was limp.
St Albans Crown Court heard officers fought to get 24-year-old Yinusa off his naked victim, and in frantic panic screamed, punched and stamped on him.
Eventually Pc Shaw cut the ligature with a pocket knife as other officers dragged Yinusa away.
In a statement read to the court by prosecutor Ann Evans, his victim thought she had died.
It read: "He was screaming at me, he kept saying 'who are you, reveal yourself'.
"He took his scarf, wrapped it round my neck and squeezed it tight.
"He was doing it so hard, like he wanted to kill me.
"He knelt on my arms, I couldn't breathe, I thought I'd taken my last breath.
"I'm in no doubt that he was going to kill me, I thought he had."
Pc Phil Cook said the man was chanting religious verses, while being arrested.
Consultant forensic psychiatrist Dr Philip Joseph said Yinusa had smoked cannabis regularly for years and gave up abruptly a few weeks before the attack, in January this year.
He said: "The abrupt cessation of cannabis, coupled with a flu-like illness and lack of sleep are likely to have contributed to the sudden, brief psychotic episode."
He added: "Yinusa didn't know the nature of his actions or what he was doing was wrong.
"He believed she was taken over by an evil spirit, he was legally insane.

The 26-episode first season will feature interviews with peers (Pam Tillis, Rosanne Cash, Sara Evans, Don Was), country music royalty (Loretta Lynn, Brenda Lee), up-and-coming talents (Runaway June, Dustin Lynch, Lauren Alaina) and celebrities from outside of the country music scene (Howie Mandel).
"I wanted to do a podcast that's not really an interview as much as it is a conversation," McBride tells Billboard. "It's going to be a mixture of country music artists and artists from other genres. We're going to do some celebrity chefs, some actors; a mixture of people. I hope it's entertaining for the listeners and also that it gives a little bit of insight into the person that I'm interviewing. We talked about their life philosophy, their struggles and how they've overcome them. A lot of it has been so inspiring as well as entertaining."

Earlier this month, McBride reminded fans that she's not afraid to speak her mind when she took to social media to expose the lack of women on Spotify playlists. This representation gap makes the podcast an important platform for not just McBride but also upstart singer-songwriters and big label acts struggling to find exposure for new albums.
"I'm excited about being able to have people hear me and my guests in a different capacity," McBride concedes. "I look forward to each time I get to sit down with someone and hear their story."
The podcast adds to a busy fall for McBride. Her new cooking show Martina's Table debuts Nov. 18 on the Food Network. It follows the Oct. 30 release of a new cookbook, Martina's Kitchen Mix: My Recipe Playlist for Real Life.

beating burnout, especially now
AS THE CORONAVIRUS crisis continues, it’s becoming clear that the extraordinary pressures on our daily lives are not subsiding any time soon. Employees working from home have to confront the lack of a practical boundary between work and personal time. Working parents whose children are now at home must make impossible choices about how to split their days. Those choices are made more confusing by the rapid fluctuation of conditions as some areas reopen and as businesses themselves face existential crises and shortages of staff that call for more of their leaders’ attention, not less. How can you balance so many demands sustainably? Most work/life balance survival tactics come back to the basics, even if the basics look a little different now: Identify your priorities (we’re all a little more clear-eyed now about…
happiness traps: how we sabotage ourselves at work
LIFE IS TOO SHORT to be unhappy at work. Yet many professionals who are free to shape their careers are just that: disengaged, unfulfilled, and miserable. Take “Sharon,” a vice president at a global energy firm and one of my consulting clients. She’s smart and hardworking and has risen through the ranks by following the rules. She makes a lot of money, is married to a man she loves, and is devoted to her children. She had everything she thought she wanted, but she wasn’t happy. Things were tense at home, and work no longer gratified her. She was tired of workplace politics and cynical about the never-ending changes that would supposedly fix whatever was wrong with the company in a given quarter. She resented the long hours she was…
idea in brief
THE CONUNDRUM Why are so many of us who can shape our professional lives unhappy at work? And what can we do about it? THE TRAPS We often fall into destructive mindsets and ways of working that make us unsatisfied and ultimately less successful. Some of the most common of these “happiness traps”—ambition (win at all costs); doing what’s expected rather than what we want; and overwork—seem productive on the surface but are harmful when taken to the extreme. THE PATH FORWARD Finding happiness at work begins with honing your emotional intelligence to grasp which trap has ensnared you. Then you can foster three things that are known to increase professional satisfaction: meaningful work, enduring hope, and workplace friendships.…
breaking free from happiness traps
Three common traps—ambition, “shoulds,” and overwork—keep people from being happy and fulfilled in their careers. Courageously looking at the ones you’ve fallen into is the beginning of taking control. Start by asking yourself these questions: 1. Which happiness traps keep me in my comfort zone or make me feel safe? 2. Which traps keep me from pursuing my dreams for a better job, a great career, or real fulfillment in the job I have now? 3. Which traps do I keep others in? Next choose the happiness trap that most affects you. 1. How does it help or hurt you? 2. How does it affect your relationships? Other people may benefit (or think they do) when we are trapped, or they may be hurt. Who in your life benefits from the trap you’re in? Who is…
manage your work, manage your life
WORK/LIFE BALANCE IS at best an elusive ideal and at worst a complete myth, today’s senior executives will tell you. But by making deliberate choices about which opportunities they’ll pursue and which they’ll decline, rather than simply reacting to emergencies, leaders can and do engage meaningfully with work, family, and community. They’ve discovered through hard experience that prospering in the senior ranks is a matter of carefully combining work and home so as not to lose themselves, their loved ones, or their foothold on success. Those who do this most effectively involve their families in work decisions and activities. They also vigilantly manage their own human capital, endeavoring to give both work and home their due—over a period of years, not weeks or days. That’s how the 21st-century business leaders in…
Since 2008 more than 600 students in Harvard Business School’s second-year Managing Human Capital course have interviewed 3,850 C-suite executives and leaders (of whom 655 were CEOs, presidents, or board members) at companies and nonprofits around the world. The goal? To gain greater insight into how today’s top leaders make choices in their professional and personal lives. This project has been a true partnership between the students and the executives. Everyone involved wanted to deeply explore what it means for leaders to manage their human capital in the 21st century—and more specifically, in the wake of the recent global recession. The executives were a diverse group (44% female, 56% male) and represented a wide range of industries, including finance, retail, energy, health care, and technology. They came from 51 countries, and 45%…

Poor conditions hamper Leopard’s salvage
Huge waves and gusting Force 10 winds are hampering the salvage of Mike Slade’s 90ft racing yacht
The abandoned 90ft racing yacht, Leopard of London, is currently wallowing in the Atlantic approximately 400 miles from the Spanish coast in Force 8-10 gusting winds.
The seven man crew including Chris Sherlock the skipper had to abandon Leopard of London last Thursday morning (4 April) when a broken rudder stock caused the boat to start taking on water.
They were rescued by a ship, the Kurzme and were taken to La Coruna in Spain before flying back to the UK.
According to Sherlock who spoke to Yachting World this morning, the laminated carbonfibre rudder stock broke between the bottom bearing and the top bearing inside the boat. The bottom bearing collapsed leaving a hole in the hull with the rudder hanging out at 90 degrees. Sherlock said: “It happened last Tuesday morning at 1030 in the morning. We’d been sailing for 12 hours doing 12-20 knots carrying a very small amount of sail. We were on a big wave about 40ft in 35-40 knots of wind when rudder stock suddenly failed. It was extremely disappointing and, until we had the water intake under control with the yacht’s pumps, it was a very worrying situation to be in.”
The rapid flooding of the boat was obviously a great cause for concern because according to Sherlock there was water ingress through the watertight bulkheads.
Although the yacht is still afloat, the huge seas and gusting Force 10 winds are hampering the salvage. A tug is now standing by but is unable to commence the salvage operation until the conditions improve. “I was hoping that four of the seven crew including myself could stay on the boat until the tug arrived,” added Sherlock, “but the MRCC (Marine Rescue Coordination Centre) wanted us all off the boat. In hindsight it was the best decision because there is no way we could have boarded the tug safely in these worsening conditions.”
Once the yacht is salvaged she is likely to be taken to La Coruna in Spain where investigations will be carried out.

Author Article by Christopher Lane: Doubt, Dogma and the Sunday Law
CHRISTOPHER LANE’s The Age of Doubt: Tracing the Roots of Our Religious Uncertainty investigates the scientific, literary and intellectual icons of the Victorian era who began challenging faith and the religious orthodoxy of the Church. Here the author gives a fascinating account of the Sunday law, created to prevent freethinkers from discussing and debating the Bible. He discusses how reactions to this law helped prompt a culture of doubt but also an engagement with religious belief that modern polemicists could learn from today.
Article by Christopher Lane
I grew up in London at a time when it was technically illegal for theatres to open on Sundays. Not all of them obeyed the law; “Sunday societies” began flouting it as early as the 1920s, when reforms began to chip away at its broad powers. But I was born in 1966, not the 1920s, and the law responsible for closing most theatres—the amazingly named “Act for Preventing Certain Abuses and Profanations on the Lord’s Day, Called Sunday,” formally adopted in 1781—wasn’t fully repealed until 1972. That year, at long last, the Sunday Entertainment Act blew open the doors of the West End and theatres nationally, expanding a theatre scene that is now justly considered the envy of the world.
Today, it seems incredible to recall that for more than a century-and-a-half, while Britain was industrializing and undergoing numerous democratic reforms, the 1781 Act was responsible for closing each Sunday not only the nation’s theatres, but also its libraries, museums, zoos, public gardens, and of course its shops. In The Literature of the Sabbath Question, Victorian author Robert Cox noted wryly in 1865 that the law was widely perceived as a “barrier” to public learning and relaxation, as well as one that “prevents the admission of the public on Sundays to the Crystal Palace at Sydenham.”
Wryness wasn’t the only Victorian response to the law. In his famous treatise On Liberty (1859), John Stuart Mill noted that zealots were citing the 1781 law in “repeated attempts to stop railway travelling on Sundays.” He called such obstructions a type of “religious bigot[ry]”—a form of harassment against doubters, freethinkers, and unbelievers. Such acts stemmed, he wrote, from “the notion that it is one man’s duty that another should be religious, . . . a belief that God not only abominates the act of the misbeliever, but will not leave us guiltless if we leave him unmolested.” It is, Mill concluded, “the opinions men entertain, and the feelings they cherish, respecting those who disown the beliefs they deem important which makes this country not a place of mental freedom.”
Mill’s line about “repeated attempts to stop railway travelling on Sundays” made me sit up and listen. The concern about fanaticism that lay behind it set me on a path to researching the origins of the 1781 Act, including the motivations of the man who spirited it through Parliament, Bishop Beilby Porteus.
Bishop Porteus was an avid reformer and abolitionist with keen interests also in the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts. Before passage of his bill, he was bishop of Chester; after its passage, he was promoted to bishop of London. In 1780, he writes candidly in his memoir, uncovered a few years later, he sought the aid of Parliament to crack down on religious criticism in Britain: “The beginning of the winter of 1780 was distinguished by the rise of a new species of dissipation and profaneness.”
On Sundays, the bishop noted with dismay, groups across London would assemble in public meeting rooms, using names such as “Christian Societies, Religious Societies, [and] Theological Societies.” “The Theological Assemblies were calculated to extinguish every religious principle,” he claimed, and thus “threatened the worst consequences to public morals.” They “gave offence . . . to every man of gravity and seriousness . . . , several of whom I have heard speak of [them] with abhorrence.” Foreigners apparently had been “shocked and scandalized . . . considering it a disgrace to any Christian country to tolerate so gross an insult on all decency and good order.”
Anyone wondering what Bishop Porteus meant by “good order” should recall that, just a few decades earlier, Robert Walpole’s regime had closed theatres it deemed critical of the Crown and Parliament. Nor was it easy to voice even mild doubt about Christianity. A few decades earlier still, an eighteen-year-old university student named Thomas Aikenhead had been tried, convicted, and hanged in Edinburgh for blasphemy. His crime: “denying the Doctrine of the Trinity.”
The bishop’s account of how he persuaded eminent lawyers and magistrates to help him pass the bill makes for compelling, if unsettling, reading. What I hadn’t known before researching the 1781 Act was that it also sparked a powerful rebuttal that year, an anonymous pamphlet called The Doubts of Infidels: Queries Relative to Scriptural Inconsistencies & Contradictions (1781).
Its author called himself “A Weak but Sincere Christian” who was submitting his questions to “The Bench of Bishops for Elucidation.” As a self-described infidel, however, the author captured both the word’s flavour of heresy and its suggestion of infidelity (infidel comes to us via the Old French infidèle). Bristling with anger, he was doubtful of the bishops’ ability to answer pages of well-documented concerns about scriptural inconsistency, which he detailed for them chapter and verse.
The pamphlet has since been attributed to William Nicholson (1753-1815), a renowned London chemist and philosopher, and it begins as brilliantly controlled satire: “An act of parliament is,” he writes, “an excellent engine for producing that kind of uniformity of opinions, which consists in holding the tongue. . . . It is carrying the notion of liberty too far to suppose, because we are free-born Englishmen, that we may choose our own faith and go to heaven our own way!”
Then follows a series of devastating questions: “How can the attributes of God be vindicated, in having performed so great a number of miracles, for a long succession of very distant ages, and so few in latter times?” “Is the account of the creation and fall of man, in the book of Genesis, physical or allegorical?” And so on, for twenty-one more pages.
It is a relentless, rigourously precise list of anomalies and contradictions in the Bible. The experience of reading it is similar, one imagines, to auditing one of the best meetings that the bishop of Chester managed to make illegal: one’s sense of Christian—and British—history is likely to shift dramatically as a result.
In The Age of Doubt, I wanted to make that history accessible to readers perhaps unaware of our fascinating, turbulent past. Unearthing Nicholson’s rare pamphlet helped me piece together how well-stated doubts about the Bible galvanized freethinkers in the 1780s, creating a culture of doubt and unbelief that tempered the worst excesses of Victorian zealotry for decades to come.
What I also learned in writing the book is that the crisis of faith that would affect large numbers of Victorians, partly as a result of pamphlets such as Nicholson’s, generated a far more searching engagement with religious belief than the “new atheism” that has evolved today. More profoundly than any generation before them, the Victorians came to view doubt as inseparable from belief, thought, and debate, as well as a much-needed antidote to fanaticism and unbridled certainty.
Decades later now, in a climate of rising religious extremism in many parts of the world, the arguments and evidence that were debated so vigourously then continue to surface as battlegrounds in classrooms, textbooks, and political forums. According to a Gallup poll last December, an eye-popping four in ten Americans believe in strict creationism. Nor are things substantially better in Britain. In January 2006, BBC News reported that “just under half of Britons accept the theory of evolution as the best description for the development of life.”
For the Victorians, my book argues from extensive archival evidence, the doubt that they discussed, embraced, and turned into an ethical necessity came to represent a central fact of human experience, and it took knowledge, integrity, and understanding to face it. It offered them, as it can offer us, a productive, even hopeful way of reaching hard-won conviction that permits dissent, sharpens insight, and inspires creativity in the place of dogma and rote learning. It is a profoundly humanistic impulse that we need now, more than ever.
The Age of Doubt is available to order now from Yale University Press.

Non-April Fools' post: some "shower thoughts" on the post-Corona investing environment
By Yet Another Value Blogger
My wife and I have a joke about something we call "shower thoughts." Shower thoughts are thoughts that have some combination of complexity, deepness, and quirkiness; for example, yesterday her shower thought was "People under house arrest must feel so lucky right now; it's not even a punishment since it's what they'd have to do anyway."
Today, I'm feeling a bit reflective, and I decidedly do not want to do an April Fools' post (the world has basically played a big prank on us this year; I don't need to add to that fire). So I figured I'd post some investing "shower thoughts."
Before diving in, I want to emphasize I'm not saying any of these topics / trends are guaranteed to happen. Far from it. There's a lot unknowns right now, but clearly there are going to be some lasting impacts from the current environment. That could be bad for some businesses and great for others, and being early to recognize that trend could help you catch an OK business as it inflects to a good one or avoid a good business as it inflects to a bad one. So this is more about thinking through some possibilities than saying definitively any of this is right. That said.... investing shower thoughts:
What are some businesses with network effects or consumer habits that could be broken by the current shutdown?
A network effect is something that gets more valuable the more people who use it. The classic example (indeed, the example on wikipedia!) is a telephone network: if one person has a telephone, it's worthless. If everyone has a telephone, it's a valuable communication tool. The best current examples are the social networks like Facebook.
A consumer habit is something a consumer does all the time that they eventually do without thinking. These can be pretty powerful (Buffett said the chains of habit are too light to be felt until they are too heavy to be broken; he was talking about work habits but the same applies to consumer habits). I think the best example today is google: when you want to search something, most people instinctively go to google to search. That's a very, very powerful habit that has turned google into one of the most successful businesses in history (yes, there's more to google's success than that, but a very powerful reason they're so strong is consumers habitually go to google for search).
Huge swaths of the world are going to be stopped for the next ~6 months; that has the potential to break consumer habits and network effects, which in turn creates opportunities for start ups / emerging players and vulnerabilities for legacy players. Some potential examples:
Every morning on my walk to work, I open Spotify and listen to a podcast.... but I'm not walking to work right now, so my podcast listening has gone way down. The good news for Spotify is I still listen to music while I work, so I'm using the app all the time. But imagine a hypothetical user who listened to podcasts to Apple podcasts and used Spotify for their music. They're barely going to be opening up Apple podcasts over the next six months (if they're like me); that would present the opportunity for Spotify to nudge into Apple's place as their preferred podcasting app
Whenever I was looking for a local restaurant, my wife and I would search Yelp, but for the foreseeable future it's unlikely we're searching for new restaurants. Even once we do, a lot of those old Yelp ratings are going to be very stale (a lot of the restaurants will have closed, the staff will have had enormous overhaul, etc.). When we open up an app to look for a new restaurant six months from now, our habit of using Yelp will be broken. Will we just use Google Maps instead? Or will we grow frustrated with Yelp presenting us a bunch of highly rated but closed restaurants? Could be room for a new player or some other app (again, like Google Maps) to take their place.
You could even paint a picture of how Uber will be decimated by this: when I was looking for a car in the past, I'd use Uber. Partly out of habit (it was just the app I opened) but also partly because they generally had the deepest network (most drivers = least waiting times = app of preference for users = more drivers on app = cycle). Uber usage is going to be way, way down right now, and a lot of those consumer habits are going to be broken. I don't think a new player necessarily steps in here, but it could present a lot of opportunity for Lyft to gain share.
A mall is a network: buyers (customers) go there because all the stores are there, and stores fill in vacancies because they know there's lots of foot traffic / customers. Once the network effect breaks, a mall can enter into something of a death spiral (a mall loses a few stores, which cause traffic to dip. Because traffic dips, a few more stores leave, which causes traffic to dip further, which.... and so on until the mall is dead). Every mall has had their network broken: they're shut for at least a month or three, and when they come back a bunch of their stores are going to be bankrupt / there are going to be a ton of bankruptcies. So what happens to malls? Do the old malls come back? Is there room for someone to build a new mall built more towards the modern shopper and steal the legacy mall's network? Does the pandemic simply accelerate the shift to online shopping so much that there's no room for malls?
There's definitely real estate value underlying a lot of these malls. Malls are generally in fantastic locations with tons of access to transportation... but redeveloping a broken mall into something else (hotels, condos, apartments, etc.) takes a ton of capital. A lot of the mall companies were slowly redeveloping their malls into mixed use facilities (and realizing pretty nice returns on capital), but continuing to do that counted on cash flow from their current mall operations to fund that redevelopment. Suddenly, their malls are cash flowing nothing and have had their network effects broken. Can they restart that network effect? If not, how do they fund that redevelopment. And is there any equity value leftover at these malls after paying down their current mortgages and funding a redevelopment?
My personal belief here? Class A malls will be come through this; they're going to have a lot of vacancies, but they still have long term leases with really solid anchor tenants that drive lots of traffic (Apple, Tesla, etc.) and they're in great locations. It will be a rough few years, but the leases with great tenants + location should be enough for them to restart their network once everything comes back. Lower end malls are screwed (in other words... a continuation of the last few years!).
Who stands to be a beneficiary of changing consumer tastes in response to Corona?
I would guess a pandemic like this one has long lasting effect on human behavior. Apparently the trend of Japan wearing face masks is a lasting remnant from 1918 pandemic. What are some other trends that could be started today, and who are beneficiaries?
The most obvious trend would be a decrease in travel for work. I would say, longer term, the vast majority of travel demand comes back. People aren't going to stop vacationing. People aren't going to stop going to big conferences and the like. But I do wonder if, on the farthest of margins, there are some travel trips that people look at now and say "meh, I can probably just teleconference that. Why risk getting sick and the expense of travel?"
If that's right, on the margin that would be bad all sorts of travel companies, but in particular it would be bad for hotel franchisers (slightly reduced demand for business travel, which hits a lot of their loyalty programs). It would be good for teleconference companies and probably internet infrastructure (like cable) companies (since people would use more data / probably be willing to pay up for a bit more speed and reliability).
It's possible that the demand for big cities could decrease as well. This decrease in demand could come from a few places: an increase in acceptability of remote working might lead more people to move to the burbs. Alternatively, people could look at how the places hardest hit by Corona tend to be large cities and say "you know what; the benefit of living in a big city doesn't outweigh the drawbacks of disease spread and the like."
This demand decrease would be negative for all sorts of things real estate related: big office buildings would see an increase in vacancies, apartment prices in big cities would come down from oversupply, etc.
I personally think demand for living in big cities is unlikely to change going forward. That said, I am an NYC resident, so it's possible I'm biased. I can tell you living in the city is not very fun right now: if you live in the burbs, you at least have a backyard to go to, and it's reasonably easy to go on a walk outside and avoid people. In NYC, you generally live in a small apartment, so you're trapped in a much smaller space and going outside while avoiding human contact is near impossible (there are still people outside, and getting there involves using staircases and elevators that are used by the whole building).
I would also guess that the demand for cruises is going to be smaller going forward. I don't know how much smaller, but going forward every time someone thinks about going on a cruise someone else is going to remember what happened to cruises during this cycle (sickness spreading like wildfire through them, boats stranded at sea, etc.). I'm not saying there's no demand for cruises, but on the margin I'd guess there's some shift to other vacations. In 2019 30.1m people went on cruises (per CCL 10-k), so even if just a small fraction of them switch to a different form of vacation that could create a pretty big boom elsewhere.
I'm not sure where that demand would switch. If it dissipates evenly across all travel options, you wouldn't really know it or see an effect for anyone else (i.e. a small fraction of those people go to NYC instead, some go to Miami, some go to Europe, etc.). But it's possible that it's more concentrated. What if the majority of people liked the all inclusive nature of cruises, so there's a big shift in demand from cruise companies to all inclusive beach locations?
Does how businesses are financed change going forward?
Previously, if I looked at a business that had net cash, I would generally think their balance sheet was fine. Yes, obviously if it was something like a restaurant, I knew there were huge operating liabilities from their leases, but I wasn't buying restaurants for liquidations. I just wanted a cash buffer that would let them survive a couple of months of sales suddenly dropping because of some big economic issue. The pandemic has made me reassess that: I honestly never factored in a "could this business survive if all revenues (not earnings; revenues!) went to zero for three months? What about six?" scenario. I wonder if business owners going forward readjust to the possibility that business can suddenly just freeze for six months.
I think this is unlikely; the changes you'd need to make are massive. Restaurants would need to start carrying ~6 months of all expenses in cash on their balance sheet. I think if businesses really started doing this, there would be a huge arbitrage / activism opportunity to buy companies and force them to take pursue "riskier" capital allocation.
But on the margin you could certainly see some effects:
Lower leverage for all companies
More hesitancy to buy back shares (if we do this, we'll be vilified in the press and excluded from bailouts)
Dropping downside cases lower (before, your downside case may have been revenues drop 30% instantly; now, downside cases might be revenues suddenly go to zero and stay there for six months), and paying more for financing that is more likely to be there in those downside cases (i.e. make sure your revolver has no covenants, because you'll blew through them in a "everything stops" scenario).
Does society change going forward?
On the margin, I'd guess absolutely. There will be much more social acceptance of people calling in / staying home when sick.
More germane to investing: I think people's hobbies are permanently shifting a bit here. In particularly, I'm thinking that the popularity of eSports and video games is exploding currently. eSports are pretty much the only game in town when it comes to watching "live sports" right now, and most of the options for leisure time (going to a bar, going to the movies, etc.) have vanished (in addition, with no commute time and a lot of businesses fully cut down, leisure time has massively increased). The combo of all the alternatives vanishing plus leisure time increasing has seen video game usage go up dramatically. While some of that probably pulls back when the alternatives revive, I would guess that eSports popularity has significantly accelerated and video game usage / time dedication has permanently increased.
What are the knock on effects from movie releases and TV pilots shifting?
Basically every studio has cancelled their slate this year. It seems for movies that were not already released, the studios are simply planning to release them next year. But that has a bunch of knock-on effects: the box office next year is probably going to be crazy crowded. Do studios look at a crowded box office and say "you know what? Rather than releasing this movie into theaters and running a huge marketing budget to promote it, I'll just release it straight to my streaming service?" And, once that cat is out of the bag, do we see more and more movies go straight to streamers until eventually the box office isn't big enough to support movie theaters in their current form (most movie theater companies are probably going bankrupt or through some type of restructuring because of the current shut down, but I more mean movie theaters in their current form as a smaller box office means we get smaller movie theaters with less screens (because they handle fewer movies) and those screens are more catered to a luxury experience).
Also, the marketing budget piece is interesting. A big piece of TV advertisements are advertising for upcoming movies. What happens if and when more movies are released directly onto streaming services? Does demand for those ads go down?
Also, every movie and TV production is in hiatus right now. Most likely, there aren't any new TV pilots to air this fall. Does that have knock on effects for how networks air pilots (i.e. instead of airing all of them in the fall, maybe they just start immediately airing shows once they get new inventory)?
What about Netflix? Right now, they're seeing a huge usage boom, but new shows are huge for them in terms of drawing in new subs / retaining old subs. After a few months of not releasing new shows, does that have any impact on Netflix
I would guess the answer is no here; it's not like Netflix will be the only service without new shows.... but it certainly could have an impact (maybe after a month of nothing new on Netflix, I think to myself "you know what? I've watched everything I want to watch on Netflix. Maybe I cancel Netflix until they get some new shows and go watch a bunch of HBO shows I've been meaning to watch).
Sports leagues: do they take advantage of any silver linings here?
The current environment is an absolute disaster for sports leagues. But they'll come through it; the demand for sports will always be there (and I would guess it's a little elevated once the country re-opens as people are desperate for something that makes them feel normal).
The bigger question to me is if the sports leagues take advantage of this stop to do common sense things that would help their league longer term. For example, basketball season currently starts around Halloween. That means the first two months of basketball are almost an afterthought for a bunch of sports lovers because the NFL is in mid-season. Why does basketball do that? Why not use this stop to reset the schedule so that the season starts just as football as ending and then ends right before football starts? That would let basketball take a bunch more mind share.
There are plenty of other examples (for example, why does hockey season wrap up in summer?), but that's just the one that comes top of mind since basketball is my favorite sport. Smart commissioners and leagues will be looking to take advantage of the hand they've been dealt to make common sense changes that will improve the league going forward.

Does your wife think that people under house arrest should or should not have their time count right now since, as she correctly observed, their relative “punishment” is on hold?????. My opinion is that, if they’re required to wear an ankle bracelet, the time should count.
My own shower thought: I wonder if there will be multiple General Growth Properties-like investments in the coming months. There are many companies that might go bankrupt for illiquidity reasons and not really insolvency reasons. So some companies might go bankrupt but sort of just use the bankruptcy as a way to get though the crisis and not really change their capital structures after the pandemic is over,

He is a graduate of UIUC, USA and NIT Kurukshetra. From the very begigning he discovered the passion within him and entered the world of entrepreneurship, however he feels that he could have started his venture much earlier and this according to him is the biggest mistake he made so far. Talking about challenges, the biggest challenge for them was the acknowledgement of their idea but they got very good result and response from their customers.
With the ups and downs they have the reason for recognition too. Establishing a company and maintaining a customer base of five thousand without any advertisement, is a big achievement itself and above that Khushii IT Solutions has been interviewed by ET Now for their show starting ups and also it has been covered by many magzines.
“Sustainability and funding are the two major challenges Indian entrepreneurs are facing” says Sachin.
But the passion and belief in him made him a successful entrepreneur and after he started his venture he never felt like giving up. This is one thing he wants to advice the budding entrepreneurs. He says “Live your dream and you will touch the sky of success.”

In preparing my exhibition, Burned Books and Blasted Shrines: Cultural Heritage under Fire in Kosovo, I took my little packet of burned books up to the paper conservators at the Straus Center for Conservation, on the top floor of Harvard's Fogg Art Museum. I watched as the conservator picked out these small bits of charcoal -- the carbonized fragments of manuscripts and old books. They were hard and black, some had shiny surfaces that reflected the afternoon sunlight. Looking closely, one could distinguish: smooth, blackened fragments of leather bindings; loose fibers or carbonized pieces of woven cloth from the inside of the spines of books; chunks of charcoal in which one could still see the fused layers of pages; still smaller fragments of burned paper; black charcoal dust. One larger piece, softer and grayish in color, not completely turned to carbon, was still recognizable as a book: the remains of a spine, or perhaps the fore-edge of a volume, less than an inch wide and perhaps 2-3 inches long, with the curled edges of charred pages still visible on the narrow ends. It had come from the burned-out interior of a 15th-century mosque in Pec.
In my office, I keep a copy of a poem, an elegy for the burned Sarajevo library by a Bosnian poet, which talks about the removal of tons of such clinkers from the ruins of Bosnia's burned out National Library. In Prishtina the National Library still stands, but an estimated half of all the books in public libraries in Kosovo -- nearly a million books -- were destroyed in 1998-99. It brings home the vulnerability of the human knowledge that institutions such as universities and libraries are established to cultivate and preserve. We like to believe that we can be keepers of the records of civilization and we do our best to preserve them from fires and floods and other natural calamities. But what can one do to keep books and human beings safe from those who would destroy them?

Are lawson bates dating 2018 think

But every time we dismiss it, some new piece of evidence emerges to convince us that if these two aren't courting, they're at least pre-courting. Before Duggars embark on the chaste, sexless form of dating that they call courting, they sometimes engage in an even slower, more heavily-chaperoned version called pre-courting.
The latest evidence comes to us courtesy of a video that Lawson's sister, Carlin Bates, posted in her Instagram Story this week. For those who are unaware, Lawson is like Jinger in that he has 47, siblings - unfortunately, the Bates' reality show is far less popular.
But if Jana and Lawson were courting, or pre-courting, or pre-pre-courting to be honest, we wouldn't be surprised to find out that's a thing in the Duggars' worl then it would look a lot like this. Her family might feel she needs to be watched extra carefully, as the devil has had extra time to seize control of her loins, or some such nonsense.

Look, obviously Jana courtship rumors have been circulating for years, and the vast majority of them have turned out to be baseless nonsense.
Remember the rumor that Jana was being courted by Tim Tebow?
Be one of the first to know about special announcements, tour dates, and new video releases. Jul 04, � A post shared by Lawson Bates (@lawbates) on Jul 3, at pm PDT However, some critics of a possible Jana-Lawson love match think that their personalities are too different; Jana is quiet and reserved, while Lawson is more outgoing. "Bringing Up Bates" kicked off its seventh season with a jam packed hour-long episode featuring the start of a new courtship, a surprise birthday party and a church dedication service.
That could mean there's some legitimacy to them - or it might just mean that some fans are really, really upset by the fact that Jana is still single, and they're desperate to pair her off. Start Gallery.
It's a rumor that's been with us for years and simply refuses to die. A link has been sent to your friend's email address.

The main storyline of the episode included Carlin Bates and Evan Stewart starting their courtship together. The two had been dating but entering into a courtship is more serious.
For the Bates family, courtship is like serious dating but with a focus on God and purity, according to Kelly Jo Bates. Stewart came up with an elaborate plan to ask Carlin Bates about starting their courtship, and it involved a scavenger hunt with clues that required help from his family and the Bates family.
Bates thought her family and Stewart's family would enjoy a day at the lake together, but Stewart arrived at her doorstep with flowers, and their journey began.

The two and their families traveled around East Tennessee for the scavenger hunt. She agreed to begin a courtship with him.
Jana Duggar & Lawson Bates Might Be Courting
I don't know. It makes me feel like 'Whoa I don't feel like I'm worth that much. That's so sweet,'" said Bates. The Bates family had to team up yet again during the episode to throw Josie Bates a surprise party for her 18th birthday.

The Best Blackjack “Card Counting” Movies
March 11, 2016 – 09:20 am
Blackjack has been incredibly popular since shortly after its origins Europe in the 17th century, when it was known as “.” The game eventually became known as blackjack in the US due a bonus that had been introduced which paid when a player’s first two cards were the Ace of spades and one of the black jacks. It quickly became one of the most popular games in gambling houses and casinos. The game received a big shot in the arm in 1962 when mathematician Edward Thorpe published his revolutionary book Beat the Dealer.
Thorpe was not a gambler, but proved that blackjack could be beater by players that learned . The book created momentary panic in the casino industry while spurring even more players to flock to casinos in search of huge wins. The casinos eventually calmed down after realizing that the influx of new players was good for business, and players continued to try to master Thorpe’s system.
Over the years card counting has reached almost mythological status and has provided plots twists and the back drop for several Hollywood films.
The MIT Blackjack Team, the for the film 21, was indeed a real group. The film uses a book about the team, Bringing Down the House, as its basis, but is definitely a work of fiction. 21 is however highly entertaining. The real MIT blackjack team did indeed win a great deal of money in casinos throughout the US, but the problems they encountered are highly exaggerated.
The best take away for would be counters is that learning to count cards and making six-or-seven figure paydays requires a lot of work, training and concentration.
The Last Casino
This 2004 Canadian Film is in many ways the “original” version of 21. The Last Casino also follows the and their numerous big scores until advances in casinos security led to the team being easily to spot and subsequently barred from the casinos.
The Tom Cruise – Dustin Hoffman film contains what is possibly the most famous blackjack scene in film history. Hoffman plays Cruise’s autistic brother. The two are taking a road trip to Cruise’s home in LA and make a stop in Las Vegas. Cruise realizes how he can use his brother’s talent to make a large profit at the blackjack tables. As is standard in blackjack movies, casino security catch on and ask the two to leave.

BUTTER CHURNING
by Darlene Litchie - August, 2003
researched by Audrey Ballageer 2002
Butter has been made for thousands of years by churning the fat from whole milk. It is mostly made from cow´s milk, but can be made from goats, sheep and buffalo.
Very early buttermaking consisted of churning the milk of goats in a leather skin bag that was swung back and forth to agitate the milk and separate the fat. By the 1800's, as buttermaking was a household necessity, many different styles of churning were developed. The most simple type was a large crock with a lid and a wooden dasher that was pushed up and down until the butter was churned. There were many other types developed. All were done by hand and some worked well and others left much to be desired!
Most of the early Manitoba pioneers had one or two cows for milk and cream, to feed their families. A machine to separate cream from milk, called a Centrifugal Cream Separator, was developed around 1856. However, most pioneers would not be able to afford such a wonderful machine until later years. Enterprising housewives took the freshly milked milk and put it in large flat pans to cool, and as the milk cooled, it came to the top. They were able to skim this precious cream to make butter for the table. The milk that was left was either used for the household or to feed the young calves and pigs.
Housewives´ work was surely lessened when they could afford a cream separator. The freshly milked warm milk was put through the separator after each milking. Cream came out of the small spout of the separator and skim milk out of the large spout. This was much more efficient than the hand skimming.
The cream would be collected until there was enough to half fill the churn. The results were much better if the cream was two or three days old and a pleasant bit sour like todays´ sour cream. There was a very fine line at this stage because the cream could soon become almost rotten and would not make pleasant tasting.
As butter churning was a tedious job, sometimes taking a long time to churn, many a child was made to help as some of our older people will attest! Also, there are probably many stories of children being punished by being given a half jar of cream and told to shake it until there was butter!
As cream is being churned into butter, it keeps getting thicker and thicker and sometimes it becomes very hard to turn the churn paddles. All of a sudden the cream “will break’ and the churn will be filled with butter and buttermilk. Buttermilk is a whey-like substance left from the cream when the other fat becomes butter. If the cream is the right amount sour, the buttermilk will tasted good to drink, but usually it is very flat tasting.
After the butter is churned, it is removed from the churn and put in a large pan. In early years there were wooden pans just used for butter and many utensils. The butter is worked by hand of paddle to get the buttermilk out. After that, it is carefully washed two or three times with cold water, trying to remove as much water and left over buttermilk as possible. Salt is added and worked in to flavor the butter.
The butter is now ready to be shaped into blocks for storage. Today it is frozen. In early days it was kept in a cool cellar. Many housewives sold butter to the local store for groceries. A special butter mold was created in the shape of todays´ pound of butter. It was carefully pressed firmly in this mold so that there would be no holes or spaces. A special type of parchment paper was used to wrap the butter.
Many pioneer families lived from the money earned by making butter to sell or by selling cream to the large city creameries who made butter commercially.

He-Man / ThunderCats
As with many of my generation, two cartoons virtually defined the high-adventure genre of techno-fantasy during my formative years. Both ThunderCats and He-Man and the Masters of the Universe featured pseudo-technological heroes engaged in a never-ending battle against the quasi-mystical forces of evil. Both cartoons made my parents very nervous with their parade of occultish imagery and the regular invocation of otherworldly forces. They were very concerned that these shows would cause me to join a cult; I was very concerned that they wouldn’t allow me to watch them anymore. Somehow we all made it through the 80s alive and cult-free.
I originally hesitated when I saw the first issue of He-Man/ThunderCats on the comic shop shelves. DC Comics had already burned me on Scooby Apocalypse and the language in Wacky Raceland was starting to grate on my nerves. I wasn’t ready to accept another “re-imagining” of fondly remembered characters that simply cast them as dysfunctional narcissists whose cursing abused my ears. I flipped through the first couple of pages with trepidation and quickly added the title to my pull-and-hold file.
Within the pages of that first issue, the character models I remembered from years past burst from the page in Freddie Williams dirty, gritty pencils and Jeremy Colwell’s layered colors. I knew these characters. The lines of dialog could have been drawn directly from the cartoons. The action of the first issue ramped up to a showdown between He-Man and Mumm-Ra that followed the same formula as the cartoons; bad guys attack, everybody fights, the bad guys enact a crazy scheme, the good guys counter with another crazy scheme, everybody fights until the good guys win. Then you reset and do it all again in the next episode. Only this time, midway through issue #1 Mumm-Ra took He-Man’s Sword of Power and gutted him like a fish.
He-Man / Thundercats (2016) #1
I had to read it twice to be sure. In the span of a few panels, a book I had expected to be a nostalgia-filled romp from 30 years ago took a turn that would never have happened on Saturday morning television. Unlike the travesty of Scooby Apocalypse or the vulgarity of Wacky Raceland I found this bit of unexpected violence strangely satisfying. Even kids know that swords are for killing people, or slaying monsters if you prefer. None of the characters in these shows ever got hurt for real, not in any way that wasn’t completely recovered by the start of the next episode. The show titles proclaimed that the fate of the universe was on the line every weekday at 3:30, but even as a kid it felt much more like a game than a battle of good versus evil.
And isn’t that what we really want from an adventure that pits the defenders of justice against the villainy of unrepentant evil? We want to see the bad guys do things that are selfish and despicable with consequences that play out in the lives of people affected by their actions. We want to see heroes pay a real and visceral cost in the cause of standing in the gap between the oppressor and the helpless. There is a place for heroes that triumph through cleverness and overcome adversity through skill, but it’s the element of sacrifice that sets apart those heroes who bear the whips and scorns of the oppressor’s wrong and by enduring end them, suffering the injury of evil intent and scorning the dread of that death whose undiscovered country will timely bear us all away. Hamlet’s tragedy is that he must oppose the ills of outrageous fortune in order to make his Quietus; the triumph of Christ is that He endured the full consequence of evil in the place of others and it was insufficient to remove His own righteousness. To intercept evil and prevent its impact only satisfies our sense of balance and fair play; to recompense the consequence of the last full measure of evil’s capability satisfies justice.
So if the cartoons of yesteryear failed to take themselves seriously enough, it certainly appeared as if the comic book crossover of today was taking itself seriously indeed. From now on, the bad guys play for keeps. Over the next six issues, everything I ever wanted to see them do in the old cartoon played itself out in front of me. Authors Rob David and Lloyd Goldfine stripped away every trope forced on the cartoons by the grassroots organization Action for Children’s Television. David and Goldfine eschewed the use of vulgarity, narcissism, and depravity in favor of methodical story construction and characters who understood the consequences of their actions and behaved with maturity. Williams’ art depicted ugly, brutal violence with visceral impact that needed no gratuitous gore. Throughout the book the old 80s character models and outlandish schemes reminded me that this particular battle of good versus evil filtered mature, epic fantasy through a lens of childhood nostalgia.
I’m not typically much for nostalgia. The popular show Stranger Things did very little for me that way. I do like seeing those old artifacts and elements, but in their original context. I generally prefer modern renditions that reflect the original inspiration and intent, but that are reflective of modern sensibilities. It’s no surprise then that I prefer the character models from What’s New, Scooby-Doo? over the 60s designs, the 2002 Masters of the Universe, and the 2011 ThunderCats. Right from the start, this crossover seemed to me like a step backwards. Getting me to buy every issue was going to take more than rose-colored memories of broadcast television.
The art was already doing much to set this telling apart from the source material. The character models still matched the original Mattel toys but Williams’ pencils exaggerated the field of depth and range of motion with heavy emphasis on the line work and regular explosions of krackle dots sized to resemble blowing grit or blood spatter. Colwell’s colors rendered the pastel candy palette of the cartoon in digital watercolor, layering shades to add additional depth and motion to the line art and muting the vibrancy of the characters. The resulting panels provided the book with the kind of visual complexity the cartoon lacked without dumping the old models. The pencils and inks may have been dirty, but the action was clean and dynamic with a clear progressive flow and good communication.
It would have been easy for David and Goldfine to simply serve up page after page of fan service, scheming nastiness from Skeletor and Mumm-Ra, goofy banter with Snarf and Orko, or Lion-O vs He-Man to the death. They gave me every bit of that. I didn’t feel like any of the main characters were mistreated and with only six issues I was perfectly satisfied that only Adam and Lion-O received proper character arcs. The story itself is little more than a vehicle for the fan service crossover situations, and even the primary character arcs are extremely simplistic. It really is very much the same as the old television shows. David and Goldfine could have left it at that without doing any harm to the franchise, instead they added a narrator to the action, a voice describing the action as it progressed and reflecting on the events.
Every issue received its own narrator with the owner of the voice revealed only at the end. Issue #1 pondered the pompous foolishness of those who toyed with power. The voice reviled Mumm-Ra for trading with the Ancient Spirits of Evil and called the Masters of Eternia fools for allowing evil to act when it could be prevented. The voice reflected on the absolute necessity for proactive heroes, lest evil beings remake the world in their own image as he, Skeletor, planned. Further issues saw characters despair over the struggle against evil, resolve to stand in the gap, and determine that evil was the only constant in the universe. It added weight and meaning to the spectacle of the crossover, reminding us that it is not life but the play that is a shadow that struts and frets its hour upon the stage, a tale full of sound and fury that signifies something.
David and Goldfine never really discuss what that something is that gives life its significance but they do assure us of two things: that evil can never be destroyed, and that heroes will always engage in the battle never-ending. He-Man/ThunderCats is a book worth reading if you’ve got fond memories of the characters or just want a taste of the best of 80s gonzo techno-fantasy. It’s worth considering the implications of the setting and the musings of the narrators. I enjoyed it quite a bit and even though there’s a bit of needless cussin’ from some of the characters I’m very glad to have added this story to my library. I give He-Man/ThunderCats a Quality score “Extremely Gratifying” and a Relevance score of “Suitable for Discussion”.

The differences between two generations of artists
“Art on the River” (“Kunst am Strom”) brings together artists and curators from the Danube region. The project aims at presenting various artistic positions from the Danube countries, which will be shown in a travelling ex- hibition in 2020 and 2021. What’s more, artists and curators will meet and exchange ideas repeated- ly at symposia and especially during the preparations for the two European Capitals of Culture, Novi Sad 2022 and Timisoara 2023.
For “Art on the River” curators from the following countries work together: Ger- many, Austria, Slovakia, Hungary, Croatia, Serbia, Romania and Bulgaria. They have selected up to four artists from each of their countries to represent two generations of artists: artists around 50 years and artists around 30 years of age, who grew up before and after the end of the Eastern bloc. The project will show how their art positions diff er. In addition to questions about current art positions in the Danube countries, the project focuses on the tension bet- ween the mostly cosmopolitan position of the artists and existing national ties. By integrating the art scene of eight Danube cities, the project provides a representative cross-section of the art po- sitions of these countries. The exhibition “Art on the River” is intended to arouse curiosity about the artistic neighbourhoods in the Danube region. The project deliberately avoids mysti- fi cation, exoticization or Eastern art clichés. The touring exhibition shows parallels, identities and diff erences and thus provides an open and versatile in- sight into artistic positions across all generations and art forms. The exhibition is accompanied by an elaborate catalogue. The following artists participate in the project “Art on the River”: Birgit Brandis, Jörg Baier, Corinne Chotycki, Bettina Kattinger, Brigida Zuberi, Berenice Pahl, Helena Eribenne, Contact Zone, Rudolf Sikora, Oto Hudec, Flóra Pertics, Sándor Imreh, Péter Somody, Ana Petrović, Vladimir Frelih, Adrienn Újházi, Nikola Džafo, Constantin Flondor, Andrei Rosetti, Ciprian Bodea, Cosmin Fruntes, Sorin Scurtulescu, Silvia Gan- cheva and Yulian Stankulov. The curators of the exhibition are: Franziska Degendorfer (Karlsruhe), Oli- via Jaques (Vienna), Nikolas Bernath (Košice), Prof. Péter Somody (Pécs), Prof. Vladimir Frelih (Osijek), Andrea Palašti (Novi Sad), Sorin Scurtulescu (Timisoara) and Prof. Bozhidar Boyadzhiev (Sofia). The project is coordinated by Dr. Márton Méhes (Vienna). The Museum Ulm leads the project, which is co-fi nanced by the following partners: Ministry of Science, Research and Art of the State of Baden-Württemberg, Baden-Württemberg Foundation, Danube Offi ce Ulm/Neu-Ulm and the Cultural Advisor for the Danube Region at the Danube Swabian Museum Ulm.

La Paz County and the Arizona Association of Counties Files Amicus Brief In Support of Mohave County’s Fight for Planet Ranch Water Rights
By Buster Johnson
Lake Havasu City, AZ –La Paz County along with the Arizona Association of Counties (AACo) have filed a joint amicus brief with the Arizona Supreme Court in support of Mohave County’s standing in the Planet Ranch water rights case. AACo represents Arizona’s 15 counties across the state and over 331 elected officials. “I want to sincerely thank AACo and La Paz County in supporting our standing on this issue. Their support shows the importance of Arizona counties being allowed to stand up and participate in matters important to their jurisdiction,” Supervisor Buster Johnson stated. In AACo and La Paz County’s joint amicus brief, they explained the importance of Arizona counties being allowed to participate in matters pertaining to the use, consumption, conservation and transfer of water resources within their jurisdiction. One of Mohave County’s argument against the sever and transfer of water rights at Planet Ranch was that they were not involved in settlement agreements nor notified in a timely matter. “Mohave County’s concerns were never heard and we were completely left out of negotiations when it came to the drafting of the Bill Williams River Water Settlement Act,” Johnson stated. “This amicus brief shows support of our standing from an outside organization that does not have a direct relation to this case. By AACo filing this brief, it gives Mohave County a stronger voice,” Johnson continued. Maricopa Superior Court Judge, Crane McClennen, ruled back in June that Mohave County has the right to object to Freeport McMoRan’s proposed water rights transfers within its jurisdiction on behalf of its constituents. According to Johnson, the water rights transfer would take about 10,000 acre feet of water away from Mohave County citizens. “This large amount of water amounts to roughly 3.26 billion gallons which is enough to provide water to well over 20,000 homes,” Johnson said. Freeport filed an appeal in regards to Judge McClennen’s ruling to the Arizona Supreme Court who agreed to hear the case in the beginning of this month. The Supreme Court will now decide if they will accept the amicus brief into the final record.
Johnson’s Comments on the Passage of the Bill Williams River Water Settlement Act of 2014
Lake Havasu City, AZ – Mohave County Supervisor Buster Johnson is deeply disappointed with the actions of Congress and the Arizona delegation for their approval of the Bill Williams River Water Settlement Act of 2014, HR 4924 and S 2503, which are supposed to design a fair and equitable settlement of numerous claims within the Bill Williams River Watershed. Among the parties involved are the Hualapai Tribe, U.S. Dept. of Interior (acting for themselves and the Tribe), Arizona Game and Fish, and Freeport McMoRan Minerals Corporation. “This is an extremely complicated issue in which HR 4924 attempts to conjoin two separate settlement agreements in an attempt to satisfy various interests in the Big Sandy River/Planet Ranch Water Rights settlement agreement and the Hualapai Tribe/Bill Williams River Water Rights settlement agreement,” Johnson said Friday. “It is unfortunate that our Congressional delegation, including the sponsors Senator Jeff Flake and Congressman Paul Gosar, who represent Mohave County in Congress, ignored local concerns in favor of single constituent legislation which will benefit a special interest group.” Gosar has hailed the passage of HR 4924 as a trigger for good paying jobs and additional tax revenue associated with continued use of the Bagdad Mine. Gosar also claimed that his legislation was scored by the Congressional Budget Office as revenue neutral for the federal government. “It’s absolutely mindboggling that Congressman Gosar did not heed the concerns of Mohave County Assessor Ron Nicholson,” Johnson said. “He provided a complete background report on this proposed settlement demonstrating significant negative impacts on our tax resource base in Mohave County. It’s also a shame that Congressman Gosar ignored the public stance of the coalition of Mohave County Chambers of Commerce as well as the documented history of Mohave County government in opposing this rip-off of Mohave County resources. The water and lands are in Mohave and La Paz Counties but neither was asked or allowed to participate in their own futures,” Johnson explained. “The Mohave County Board of Supervisors has communicated their deep concerns on previous occasions to Congressman Gosar but it appears he is unwilling to consider the concerns of Mohave County, and instead favors the corporate interests of Freeport McMoRan and the Bagdad Mine,” Johnson continued. “At a time when Congress cannot pass let alone balance a budget, fix immigration or address healthcare, our delegation finds time to contact every member of congress for their support on stripping Mohave County of its natural resources. These same Congressmen who lamented ‘Generational Theft’ have stripped Mohave County’s ability for economic growth. It is a sad day in our state when our elected federal officials choose to favor special interest groups over the well-being of those taxpayers living in the area. We did not send them to D.C. to be puppets for the mining company Freeport McMoRan or any other special interest group,” Johnson stated. Johnson closed by noting, “It has always been a hallmark of Republican orthodoxy that deference should be paid to priorities established by the level of government … Continue Reading →

SWIS Ltd
South West Imaging Services Ltd
Sadly this section is also of historical interest as far as my current practice is concerned. Running my own healthcare provider business was an interesting experiment that was successful in that it proved the concept of what we were trying to do but was unsuccessful in that we were unable to make the business sustainable. Some of the reasons for this I will outline as the demise of SWIS Ltd illustrates so many of the problems with healthcare delivery inthe UK and indeed our whole economy!
The origins of SWIS Ltd lie in the frustrations of working in a system that had lost sight of its main purpose - to deliver first quality patient centric healthcare.
Reviewing things at the millenium it seemed to me that the NHS had 'lost the plot'. It had become a vast employment agency where the vested interests of individual employee groups were taking precedence over patient care. There was no joint line of responsibility between nursing, medicine and management so there was never a co-ordinated approach to care delivery. Politicians wanted the NHS to work - votes depended on it, so they were prepared to spend large amounts of money to secure those votes. The money they spent went to service a bureaucracy put in place to deliver targets primarily defined by political rhetoric - sound bite medicine! A perfect example was the 18 week target. Someone asked how long it took for a patient to be seen in the NHS. 18 months was the response. "so lets make the target 18 weeks" Not exactly a sophisticated way to plan and fund healthcare.
The private sector, on the other hand was no better. It was and is wedded to a low volume, high cost model of healthcare delivery where baseline costs of healthcare delivery are not known and have never been known. Prices charged are what, historically they have got away with! The end result is that private healthcare was accessible only to a minority of the population (10 - 15%). with decent quality care only available for relatively low cost procedures. Investment in private healthcare was only made available for high revenue business models.
My thinking at the time was that "one should render unto Caesar that that was Caesar's! The NHS should be responsible for first quality emergency care, cancer care, ITU based specialist care and long term care. These aspects of healthcare should all be free at the point of access for all and paid for out of taxation. My vision was for a new clinician led independent sector which should be responsible for elective care delivering a customer centric, value for money, first quality service delivered through separate, dedicated healthcare facilities, where there was no competition for resources between elective and emergency patients and where a 'focussed factory' approach to heathcare delivery could be developed to maximise efficiency and value for money. In short I had defined a need for a system of elective care that assessed poeple promptly offered treatment in a timely fashion thereby getting people better before chronic illness set in, unlike the then current system of elective healthcare where delays created illness instead of curing it!
Im my naivety hadn't accounted for a number of factors that I was to learn about the hard way - the cost of private investment in healthcare, the imposed rigidity of private business models that maximised profit by delivering care only to the wealthy few, the firghtening lack of governance in the private sector, also profit driven and perhaps most difficult to understand, the willful determination of the NHS organisations that I came into contact with not to get their own house in order to provide a viable alternative to private sector elective care.
The SWIS approach
This thinking led to the formation of SWIS Ltd, an ethical company that was clinically led. Its aim was to deliver a first quality integrated diagnostic and treatment service that was patient (customer) centric. It was not a charity. By defining the costs of healthcare delivery very precisely, the company aimed to define a price for its services that allowed for sustainable 'organic' growth in the company (avoiding outside investment) at the same time as offering its customers best value for money - elective healthcare that was chargeable to a credit card not paid for by remorgaging the house! Emphasis wa on the delivery of an integrated service, bringing together all the elements required to complete a cycle of care for a patient in a way that kept the patient at the centre of that cycle. That was the theory anyway!
SWIS Past
The SWIS experience would never have happened without the monumental expertise and drive of Mr Arthur Bird, Management Consultant. His unremunerated commitment to SWIS and the principles of what we were trying to achieve, resulted in the company's inception and formation. He was responsible for guidng us through the process of day to day running of the business. Using his expertise we were able to set up business models that reflected our founding principle of organic growth. His negotiating skills allowed us to win contracts and 'punch a long way above our weight' in the field of health care provision. Without his expertise we would never have been awarded the scanning contract by BUPA or the Bristol spinal assessment interface service. From him I learnt the principles of responsible business management. Through him I also received the negative experience of pitching a business case to venture capitalists and investment banks. We tried to diversify by bringing image guided radiosurgery to the UK (Cyberknife), for which we would have needed capital investment. That expereince had a profound influence on my current views on healthcare delivery and funding. Fuelled by a considerable amount of malt whisky, I once asked him why he had committed so muchtime and effort to SWIS for no finacnial return. His reply was "because it has been fun!" "If you dont like someone, dont do business with them" was lasting sound advice.
In 2005, we started by tackling inefficiencies in the neurosurgical and spinal diagnostic service. At that time patients with spinal problems severe enough to prevent them working but nevertheless classified as routine would have to wait up to three years for diagnosis and treatment on the NHS! Waiting times from GP referral to specialist assessment were in excess of 9 months. Informed sugical opinion is only possible with MRI scanning - patients had to wait a further nine months for the scan. A further wait for reassessment by the specialist and then time on an elective waiting list could easily add another 18 months to a patient's wait for treatment and often did. By which time a patient's 'routine' non life threatening problem that, if treated in timely fashion would have had little impact on their lives had changed their lives forever - loss of earnings, loss of jobs, break up of relationships, loss of self esteem with subsequent burden on social services were all commonplace problems that I encountered in the pain surgery clinic at that time.
The private sector service was out of reach of most people. Two attendance at a specialists private clinic and further attendance for an MRI scan resulted in a bill for well over £1000 and an average two month delay. Routine spinal surgery cost in excess of £7500 at that time, prices beyond most of us.
SWIS embodied the concept of the 'one stop shop'. Have a scan, and see the specialist at the same visit for a price that was affordable by most. We started by leasing 'down time' on static MRI scanners, firstly in the private sector and then at Frenchay hospital to prove the concept of an integrated service, charging £400 for the service. We then increased our scanning volumes by bringing a mobile scanner to Bath Racecourse, not everyone's idea of a medical centre but in actual fact ideal for our purposes - a flat surface for the MRI scan lorry, a 3 phase electrical supply, plenty of parking and buildings lieing idle that were easily adapted as waiting areas and consulting rooms. Although a somewhat quirky idea born of a certain amount of lateral thinking, it was quickly adopted by all our clients, the british public recognising quality and service quicker than the institutions that are supposed to serve them. Increase in volume allowed a reduction in our unit price to £350.
The SWIS service was set up initially for self pay patients who wanted to avoid delay for investigation but who could not afford the premium rates charged by the private sector. However the standards set by SWIS also met the rigorous audit standards set by the private medical insurers leading, in 2006, to the company receiving accreditation as an MRI provider by BUPA and then the other medical insurance companies. We were then successful in bidding for an NHS contract for a pilot interface service providing spinal assessment for North Bristol GPs. We delivered this service for 2.5 years, allowing a further reducvtion in unit price to £328. Despite running a fully audited service with nothing but positive feedback form all, the definitive pan Bristol spinal assessment contract was then awarded to the Bristol PCT's in house physiotherapy led service. By this time SWIS had changed practice in the independent sector so much that there was no longer a business for us there - reasonably priced scans were available from all private institutions with the one stop shop model adopted by all private private practitioners - great for patients but no longer for SWIS. Our attempts to diversify into radiosurgery had failed. We offered the SWIS service to North Bristol NHS trust even providing our administration staff to them free of charge on the basis that SWIS assessment resulted in a 50% 'pull through' of cases to secondary care but they declined to take it on, . The reason given was that it was not a service the PCT would support. I therefore had no alternative but to cease trading. In November 2011 SWIS was no more.
SWIS Legacy
Looking back it is interesting to reflect on what we learnt. First and foremost was the fact that the 'do as you would be done to' school of medicine actually works. By defining costs precisely and by not runnning to an overinflated business model, universal health care can be delivered at reasonable cost. The SWIS mobel of a 27% markup aiming at a profit of 10% would have been sustainable at a unit cost within NHS tariff rates for outpatient assessment - £276 with the increased volumes that a pan Bristol service would have produced.
I had no chance to persuade the PCT of this - the political decision had been made to cease outsourcing spinal assessment and no argument that we put forward was going to be listened to. What was more worrying to encounter was the trust position. I was forced to realise that the NHS that pretends to be 'business like' functions in a way that is totally removed from basic business principles. No one in the NHS knows the cost of anything! What is relied on is the price of things defined by the tariff rate. For example, the tariff price of an MRI scan in 2010 was £198. The fact that for four years the unit cost of an MRI scan on the high street ( or in our case, on the racecourse) was less than £100 was completely lost on the Frenchay accountants who were totally unable to see that by establishing the true cost of the one stop shop, it could be delivered at tariff rates with all the secondary benefits to NBT. Define the costs of elective spinal surgery the SWIS way and four cases can be done on a list, paying staff extra to do them, for a cost that is half tariff rate. Instead we now have a situation where most elective spinal surgery does not meet waitng time targets and is taken to the private sector costing the trust money rather than making them a profit. Utter madness!
The SWIS experience has also formulated my views on capital investment in healthcare and indeed in all public services. The profit margins demanded by the city for the loan of money for healthcare are completly incompatible with the delivery of a comprehensive health service that is free at the point of access to all. SWIS achieved this. On one memorable day at the racecourse I remember scanning senior judge, a captain of industry, the golf course maintenance man working next door to the racecourse that stepped off his mower for a scan and a somali immigrant's wife amongst a list of 25 or so people. I remember it was an exhausting day but it was exhilarating. Here we were delivering the same first quality care to a complete cross section of society! The profits city investment demands results in one of two things; prices are so high that only a small perce3ntage of the privileged few can afford them or services have to be paired down so much that the quality is undermined. It seems to me that none of that profit comes back into the system as it is syponed offshore.
The consequences of inviting the private sector to fund the NBT new build at Southmead have yet to be realised. A 30 year loan repayment of £27m a year is 7% of the annual budget for the trust. (I wonder what it would have if Libor hadnt been rigged) The trouble is that is 20% of the non pay budget. There is talk of a 30% in reduction in current staff numbers, which means that so or later services will go. Let's hope we can hold the epilepsy surgery service together at least until I retire!
Whay is need is public ownership of the plant needed for public services with services run to the SWIS business modelm, making a living for those that make the service work but not making profit for the city with a localism agenda that services to be tailored to local needs. How about a three party coalition to make it happen!

Radiation-induced lowered neurogenesis associated with shortened latency of inhibitory avoidance memory response
Jahanshahi, M. and Khoshnazar, A.K. and Azami, N.S. and Heidari, M. (2011) Radiation-induced lowered neurogenesis associated with shortened latency of inhibitory avoidance memory response. Folia Neuropathologica, 49 (2). pp. 103-108. ISSN 16414640 (ISSN)
Official URL: http://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?eid=2-s2.0...
The neural system is less sensitive to radiation than other late-responding organs and tissues such as the kidney and lung. The generation of new neurons in the adult mammalian brain has been documented in several works. Many studies show that adult hippocampal neurogenesis relates to hippocampal function, in several ways. In this study, we assessed the effect of single and fractionated cobalt radiation on neurogenesis in the dentate gyrus of the hippocampal formation. The irradiation time for delivering 2 Gy (for fractionated dose radiation) and 10 Gy (for single dose radiation) at maximum depth were respectively 1.98 min and 9.92 min. To study the association with memory function we examined inhibitory avoidance memory using a step-through device. Brains were withdrawn and fixed, and then sections were stained with cresyl violet for neurons. We found that a 10 Gy dose can induce lower neurogenesis in the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus (p < 0.05), in such a way that a fractionated dose (5 fractions of 2 Gy) is more effective than a single dose (one fraction of 10 Gy). Moreover, a fractionated dose could reduce step-through latency corresponding to damaged inhibitory avoidance memory (p < 0.05). Synergic action of an anaesthetic drug may be the cause of more reduction of neurogenesis in fractionated irradiated rats. There was no significant difference in latency of the inhibitory avoidance memory response between the single 10 Gy group and the sham group, while fractionated 10 Gy could reduce latency. Different mechanisms of action in the two regimens of irradiation may be a reason.

With a heavy heart, I write this to you in a time of grave national crisis in the United States, as yet unresolved, amidst the prolonged catastrophe of a global pandemic through which we all continue to suffer. A New Year is upon us in the Gregorian Calendar, with the promise of a vaccine, which some of my friends have already received but which is not yet widely available. In what will be a fraught two weeks of uncertainty, a new presidential administration comes to power in the United States. Though we lack any current reports to publish from the field, I had hoped to be able to simply wish all of us a happier and more hopeful year ahead, which I certainly wish for all of us, now more than ever. But I am feeling that now is not the time to remain silent regarding what is happening. Please forgive my departure from our usual topics in my turning to current events, but there is a thread that I feel needs to be explored that connects us to a lesser-known, shared history between the United States and Maya people which is often not discussed or acknowledged.
The attempted coup d’etat and the tragically deadly forced invasion of the U.S. Capitol Building on January 6th has been a shocking new experience for citizens of the United States, which prides itself as being the global beacon of democracy. This insurrection continues to be a painful, yet important reminder of the fragility of democracy itself, and it is important for us to recognize that this kind of event and its tragic aftermath is not unfamiliar to much of the rest of the world, particularly for our many Maya friends in Central America who are watching this from the outside and no doubt comparing it with their own painful histories of coups d’etats that have been much more deadly and organized than this one.
With great concern and without hesitation, world leaders and former U.S. Presidents alike have justifiably condemned the senseless violence on Wednesday, but I was particularly struck by one comment by former President George W. Bush, who wrote, “This is how election results are disputed in a banana republic — not our democratic republic” (Wamsley 2021).
The common moniker of a “banana republic” is often used to derogatorily characterize politically destabilized, so-called “third world” nations with rampant, anti-democratic corruption and class inequality, imagining that such things are only present outside the United States. As a linguist, I am interested in the usage and circulation of terms, and in the importance of understanding the origins of these terms. I think such a comment requires context and understanding of how the term “banana republic” itself originated, particularly because the intended usage can be unintentionally insulting to our friends in other nations, as it often overlooks the direct connections to the intentional destabilization of Central American governments ironically caused by powerful political and corporate interests in the United States. Likewise, it perpetuates the dangerous Eurocentric fiction of white supremacy, and it assumes an inferiority of these nations as being beneath the “first world,” which is both unfair and inaccurate. Such uses of this term overlook the responsibility our government bears in both causing and supporting these very anti-democratic political circumstances in other nations, as well as the parallels with our current tragic circumstances.
The term “banana republic” originated from the writing of O. Henry, the pen name of William Sydney Porter, who coined the term in his 1904 novel Cabbages and Kings (taken from the Lewis Carroll poem The Walrus and the Carpenter), about a fictitious Central American country called the Republic of Anchuria. This was based upon his own experiences in Honduras and his observations of the powerful fruit companies from the United States which had a profound impact on destabilizing Central American nations like Honduras and Guatemala for the purposes of their own profit through exporting the bountiful produce of these nations through exploiting cheap labor (Eschner 2017).
As we know from the well-documented history of Guatemala as detailed in Bitter Fruit: the Untold Story of the American Coup in Guatemala (Schlesinger & Kinser 1982, revised in 2005), the United States government was heavily involved with multiple dictators that favored the United Fruit Company (UFCO), culminating in the 1954 coup d’etat in Guatemala orchestrated and carried out by the CIA, which removed the democratically elected Jacobo Árbenz from power. Árbenz had instituted a popular policy of agrarian reform that sought to return unused land owned by the UFCO to poor farmers, many of which were Maya people who were forced to work as cheap labor in the fincas, the plantations owned by the UFCO.
Both the United States Secretary of State at the time, John Foster Dulles, and his brother, Allan Dulles, the Director of the CIA, had ties to the United Fruit Company, both having worked for the law firm which represented them. Because of these and other close ties, the UFCO successfully lobbied the U.S. Government under President Eisenhower to stage a coup through the CIA by playing into the fears of the Red Scare, inaccurately claiming that Árbenz was a communist. However, it was the United Fruit Company that was primarily concerned with its profits, which were greater than the GDP of Guatemala itself, and unjustly built on the backs of exploited people dispossessed from their traditional lands. The result was that Árbenz was forcibly deposed in 1954, leading to four decades of military dictatorships that were supported and armed by the United States government—ultimately leading to rampant human rights abuses and the genocide of tens of thousands of Maya people during the tragic and painful period that has become known as la Violencia.
In 1999, following the signing of the 1996 Peace Accords that ended the formal conflict in Guatemala, President Clinton finally issued an official apology to the Guatemalan government for the unjust involvement and support of dictatorships in Guatemala by the United States (Broder 1999). Here, in part, is Clinton’s apology:
“For the United States, it is important that I state clearly that support for military forces and intelligence units which engaged in violence and widespread repression was wrong, and the United States must not repeat that mistake…We must and will, instead, continue to support the peace and reconciliation process in Guatemala.”
While the United States prides itself on serving as an unshakeable example of democracy for the rest of the world, this sits uncomfortably for those who have been directly impacted by the decidedly anti-democratic actions our government has taken against other democratically elected governments when it has served corrupt interests of those in power. I do not intend for this to minimize the current crisis by casting aspersions on the problematic history of the United States and its history of anti-democratic practices. Rather, it is in my hope that we can all be better than this and that we can continue to learn from our mistakes.
It serves the greater good for us to understand the truth of our own history and how that history intersects with the history of our neighbors and friends among the Maya people we work with, who continue to bravely rebuild their lives and reconnect to a history that has been forcibly and repeatedly taken from them. I see the work we do as directly connected to taking some responsibility for reparations for what our nation has done, and I do hope we can return to that work as soon as possible this year.
I think it is worth remembering all of this in this current moment of crisis, and reflecting on the fragility of democracy itself, both at home and abroad, as well as reflecting on the devastating and dangerous consequences of attempting to overturn democratically elected governments based on falsehoods, selfishness, and greed. In this moment of national reckoning, I think it is important to acknowledge how easy it can be for selfish actors to abuse their power to manipulate and thwart the goals of democratic societies, particularly through the promotion of nationalist fictions of white supremacy, and it is of paramount importance in these moments to tell the truth about ourselves and about our shared past so that we do not repeat these mistakes. We are learning that we are all equal after all, and that we may yet live up to the promise of equality upon which our imperfect nation was built. We are equally vulnerable to anti-democratic abuses of power, just as we are not immune to a virus that has now taken over 375,000 lives in the United States, and nearly two million lives globally.
In the future, if we choose to use the term “banana republic” to describe another nation, or our own, I would hope that we use it with a more honest understanding where that term comes from, and I hereby invite all of us to learn its true meaning as connected to the history of the United States and its damaging, antidemocratic entanglements in other nations.
May we all have a safe, healthy New Year in pursuit of truth, happiness, and mutual understanding beyond our borders. May there especially be peace and healing in all of our nations in the coming weeks, months, and years to come. The time has come, and we’ve got work to do.

It rebaptized these countries
Banana Republics,
and over the sleeping dead,
over the unquiet heroes
who won greatness,
liberty, and banners,
it established comic opera:
it abolished free will,
gave out imperial crowns,
encouraged envy, attracted
the dictatorship of flies:
Trujillo flies, Tachos flies
Carias flies, Martinez flies,
Ubico flies, flies sticky with
submissive blood and marmalade,
drunken flies that buzz over
the tombs of the people,
circus flies, wise flies
expert at tyranny.
With the bloodthirsty flies
came the Fruit Company,
amassed coffee and fruit
in ships which put to sea like
overloaded trays with the treasures
from our sunken lands.
Meanwhile the Indians fall
into the sugared depths of the
harbors and are buried in the
morning mists;
a corpse rolls, a thing without
name, a discarded number,
a bunch of rotten fruit
thrown on the garbage heap.
~Pablo Neruda, Canto General (1950)
6 Ajaw 3 Muwan (8 de enero de 2021): De Coles y Reyes: Las “Repúblicas Bananeras” y la fragilidad pasada y presente de la democracia
Con gran pesar, escribo esto en un momento de grave crisis nacional en los Estados Unidos, aún sin resolver, en medio de la prolongada catástrofe de una pandemia mundial que todos seguimos sufriendo. Ha llegado un nuevo año en el calendario gregoriano, con la promesa de una vacuna que algunos de mis amigos ya han recibido, pero que todavía no están disponibles para todos. En lo que serán dos semanas de incertidumbre, una nueva administración presidencial llega al poder en Estados Unidos. Aunque carecemos de informes de campo actuales para publicar, esperaba poder simplemente desearnos a todos un año más feliz y esperanzador, lo que ciertamente deseo para todos, ahora más que nunca. Pero siento que ahora no es el momento de guardar silencio sobre lo que está sucediendo. Por favor, perdonen mi alejamiento de nuestros temas habituales al pasar a los eventos actuales, pero hay un hilo que creo que debe explorarse y que nos conecta con una historia compartida menos conocida entre los Estados Unidos y los mayas que a menudo no se discute o se reconoce.
El intento de golpe de estado y la invasión forzada y trágicamente mortal del edificio del Capitolio de los Estados Unidos el 6 de enero ha sido una experiencia nueva e impactante para los ciudadanos de los Estados Unidos, que se enorgullecen de ser el faro global de la democracia. Esta insurrección sigue siendo un recordatorio doloroso, pero importante, de la fragilidad de la democracia en sí, y es importante que reconozcamos que este tipo de eventos y sus trágicas secuelas no son desconocidos para gran parte del resto del mundo, en particular para nuestros amigos mayas en Centroamérica, quienes están viendo esto desde afuera y sin duda lo comparan con sus propias historias dolorosas de golpes de estado, que han sido mucho más mortíferos y organizados que este.
Con gran preocupación y sin dudarlo, los líderes mundiales y los ex presidentes de Estados Unidos por igual han condenado justificadamente la violencia sin sentido del miércoles, pero me llamó particularmente la atención un comentario del ex presidente George W. Bush, quien escribió: “Así es como se disputan los resultados de las elecciones en una república bananera, no en nuestra república democrática” (Wamsley 2021).
El apodo común de “república bananera” se usa a menudo para caracterizar despectivamente a las naciones políticamente desestabilizadas del llamado “tercer mundo”, con una corrupción desenfrenada y antidemocrática y gran desigualdad de clases, imaginando que tales cosas solo están presentes fuera de Estados Unidos. Como lingüista, me interesa el uso y la circulación de términos y la importancia de comprender el origen de estos términos. Creo que tal comentario requiere contexto y comprensión de cómo se originó el término “república bananera”, en particular porque el uso previsto puede ser un insulto involuntario para nuestros amigos en otras naciones, ya que a menudo pasa por alto las conexiones directas con la desestabilización intencional de los gobiernos centroaméricanos, causados irónicamente por poderosos intereses políticos y corporativos en los Estados Unidos. Asimismo, perpetúa la peligrosa ficción eurocéntrica de la supremacía blanca y presupone una inferioridad de estas naciones como inferiores al “primer mundo”, lo cual es injusto e inexacto. Tales usos de este término pasan por alto la responsabilidad que tiene nuestro gobierno de causar y apoyar estas circunstancias políticas antidemocráticas en otras naciones, así como los paralelismos con nuestras trágicas circunstancias actuales.
El término “república bananera” se originó a partir de la escritura de O. Henry, el seudónimo de William Sydney Porter, quien acuñó el término en su novela de 1904 Cabbages and Kings (“Coles y Reyes”, tomado del poema de Lewis Carroll La Morsa y el Carpintero), sobre un país centroamericano ficticio llamado República de Anchuria. Esto se basó en sus propias experiencias en Honduras y sus observaciones de las poderosas empresas frutícolas de los Estados Unidos, que tuvieron un profundo impacto en la desestabilización de naciones centroamericanas como Honduras y Guatemala, buscando su propio beneficio mediante la exportación de la abundante producción de estas naciones, por medio de la explotación de mano de obra barata (Eschner 2017).
Como sabemos por la bien documentada historia de Guatemala, como se detalla en Bitter Fruit: la historia no contada del golpe estadounidense en Guatemala (Schlesinger & Kinser 1982, revisada en 2005), el gobierno de los Estados Unidos estuvo muy involucrado con múltiples dictadores que favorecían a la United Fruit Company (UFCO) y que culminó con el golpe de estado de 1954 en Guatemala, orquestado y llevado a cabo por la CIA, que sacó del poder al presidente electo democráticamente Jacobo Árbenz. Árbenz había instituido una política popular de reforma agraria que buscaba devolver las tierras en desuso propiedad de la UFCO a los agricultores pobres, muchos de los cuales pertenecían a grupos mayas, obligados a trabajar como mano de obra barata en las fincas y plantaciones propiedad de la UFCO.
Tanto el entonces secretario de Estado de los Estados Unidos, John Foster Dulles, como su hermano, Allan Dulles, director de la CIA, tenían vínculos con la United Fruit Company, y ambos habían trabajado para el bufete de abogados que los representaba. Debido a estos y otros lazos cercanos, la UFCO presionó con éxito al gobierno de los Estados Unidos bajo el presidente Eisenhower para que organizara un golpe de estado a través de la CIA, jugando con los temores de la llamada “Red Scare”, afirmando erróneamente que Árbenz era comunista. Sin embargo, la United Fruit Company se preocupaba principalmente por sus ganancias, que eran mayores que el PIB de la propia Guatemala, mismas que se habían construido injustamente sobre las espaldas de personas explotadas y desposeídas de sus tierras tradicionales. El resultado fue que Árbenz fue depuesto por la fuerza en 1954, lo que llevó a cuatro décadas de dictaduras militares que fueron apoyadas y armadas por el gobierno de los Estados Unidos, y que en última instancia condujo a abusos desenfrenados de los derechos humanos y al genocidio de decenas de miles de mayas durante el trágico y doloroso período que se ha dado a conocer como la Violencia.
En 1999, luego de la firma de los Acuerdos de Paz de 1996 que pusieron fin al conflicto formal en Guatemala, el presidente Clinton finalmente emitió una disculpa oficial al gobierno guatemalteco por la participación injusta y el apoyo a las dictaduras en Guatemala por parte de Estados Unidos (Broder 1999). Aquí, en parte, está la disculpa de Clinton:
“Para Estados Unidos, es importante que yo afirme claramente que el apoyo a las fuerzas militares y las unidades de inteligencia que participaron en la violencia y la represión generalizada fue equivocada y que Estados Unidos no debe repetir ese error… Debemos y seguiremos, en cambio, apoyando el proceso de paz y reconciliación en Guatemala.”
Si bien Estados Unidos se enorgullece de servir como un ejemplo inquebrantable de democracia para el resto del mundo, esto resulta incómodo para aquellos que han sido directamente afectados por las acciones decididamente antidemocráticas que nuestro gobierno ha tomado contra otros gobiernos elegidos democráticamente, cuando esto ha servido a los intereses corruptos de los que están en el poder. No pretendo que esto minimice la crisis actual arrojando calumnias sobre la problemática historia de Estados Unidos y su historia de prácticas antidemocráticas. Más bien, tengo la esperanza de que todos podamos ser mejores que esto y podamos seguir aprendiendo de nuestros errores.
Nos sirve para un bien mayor entender la verdad de nuestra propia historia y cómo esa historia se cruza con la historia de nuestros vecinos y amigos entre los mayas con los que trabajamos, quienes continúan reconstruyendo valientemente sus vidas y reconectándose con una historia que ha les ha sido arrebatada repetidamente por la fuerza. Veo el trabajo que hacemos como algo directamente relacionado con asumir alguna responsabilidad por las reparaciones de lo que ha hecho nuestra nación, esperando que podamos volver a ese trabajo lo antes posible este año.
Creo que vale la pena recordar todo esto en este momento de crisis actual, y reflexionar sobre la fragilidad de la democracia en sí, tanto en el país como en el exterior, así como reflexionar sobre las devastadoras y peligrosas consecuencias de intentar derrocar gobiernos elegidos democráticamente sobre la base de falsedades, egoísmo y codicia. En este momento de ajuste nacional de cuentas, creo que es importante reconocer lo fácil que puede ser para los actores egoístas abusar de su poder para manipular y frustrar los objetivos de las sociedades democráticas, particularmente a través de la promoción de las ficciones nacionalistas de la supremacía blanca. Es de suma importancia en estos momentos decir la verdad sobre nosotros mismos y sobre nuestro pasado compartido para no repetir estos errores. Estamos aprendiendo que todos somos iguales después de todo, y que aún podemos estar a la altura de la promesa de igualdad sobre la cual se construyó nuestra imperfecta nación. Somos igualmente vulnerables a los abusos de poder antidemocráticos, del mismo modo que tampoco somos inmunes a un virus que ahora ha cobrado más de 375.000 vidas en los Estados Unidos y casi dos millones de vidas en todo el mundo.
En el futuro, si elegimos usar el término “república bananera” para describir a otra nación o a la nuestra, espero que lo usemos con una comprensión más honesta sobre el origen de ese término, y por la presente los invito a todos a aprender su verdadero significado en relación con la historia de los Estados Unidos y sus enredos dañinos y antidemocráticos en otras naciones.
Deseo que todos tengamos un Año Nuevo seguro y saludable en la búsqueda de la verdad, la felicidad y el entendimiento mutuo más allá de nuestras fronteras. Que haya especialmente paz y reconciliación en todas nuestras naciones en las semanas, meses y años por venir. Ha llegado el momento y tenemos trabajo por hacer.
Michael Grofe, Presidente
Cuando sonó la trompeta,
estuvo todo preparado en la tierra,
y Jehova repartió el mundo
a Coca-Cola Inc., Anaconda,
Ford Motors, y otras entidades:
la Compañía Frutera Inc.
se reservó lo más jugoso,
la costa central de mi tierra,
la dulce cintura de América.
Bautizó de nuevo sus tierras
como “Repúblicas Bananas,”
y sobre los muertos dormidos,
sobre los héroes inquietos
que conquistaron la grandeza,
la libertad y las banderas,
estableció la ópera bufa:
enajenó los albedríos
regaló coronas de César,
desenvainó la envidia, atrajo
la dictadura de las moscas,
moscas Trujillos, moscas Tachos,
moscas Carías, moscas Martínez,
moscas Ubico, moscas húmedas
de sangre humilde y mermelada,
moscas borrachas que zumban
sobre las tumbas populares,
moscas de circo, sabias
moscas entendidas en tiranía.
Entre las moscas sanguinarias
la Frutera desembarca,
arrasando el café y las frutas,
en sus barcos que deslizaron
como bandejas el tesoro
de nuestras tierras sumergidas.
Mientras tanto, por los abismos
azucarados de los puertos,
caían indios sepultados
en el vapor de la mañana:
un cuerpo rueda, una cosa
sin nombre, un número caído,
un racimo de fruta muerta
derramada en el pudridero.
~ Pablo Neruda, Canto General (1950)

We are happy to share with you our latest blog. It highlights the work and art of Walter Paz Joj ─ “5 Ajaw 3 Mak (November 29, 2020): The Living Art of a Kaqchikel Maya Aj Tz’ib’ “. Here is the link: http://discovermam.org/2020/11/5-ajaw-3-mak-november-29-2020/ . Enjoy the beautiful artworks and Walter’s high-resolution photos. This workshop took place before the pandemic spread into Guatemala and Mexico.
We have had to temporarily suspend the workshops until next year, but we are planning ahead when we can once again begin granting funds to individuals for these classes. The monetary support that our Mayanist community has given to Mayas For Ancient Maya (MAM) enable us to continue to support our Maya colleagues in educating their indigenous communities through the organizing workshop grants like that granted to Walter, where the living Maya people are able to connect with their ancestors through the ancient hieroglyphs.
Also, great news regarding Giving Tuesday Week! We have an anonymous donor who wants to match dollar for dollar what others pitch in until this coming Saturday. In other words, if you contribute $100, the donor will match it with $100 and thus you are able to double your commitment.

Walter Paz Joj: The Living Art of a Kaqchikel Maya Aj Tz’ib’
For many of us, this Thanksgiving has been a holiday unlike any other in living memory, and it is a time for giving thanks for all that we have amidst a year of such sorrow and tragedy. So many of us celebrate in isolation this year, grateful for the lives of our loved ones, and grieving the loss of so many who have been taken from us. As we reported last month, the pandemic has taken a great toll on our Maya friends, many of whom have since been hit by two hurricanes in what is now a record year for so many storms. Jun Raqan, the one-legged Heart of Sky walks restlessly in circles on our warming planet. May the balance be restored, and may he be appeased after so much suffering. May the Maya people endure, as they always have.
I am profoundly grateful for the work our Maya friends have been doing to bring to life the ancient script, and it is our great honor this month to feature the work of Walter Paz Joj. Walter is a Kaqchikel artist and musician from Panajachel, Guatemala on the shores of Lake Atitlán, the place of emergence for many Highland Maya people. Walter has been involved in studying the Maya script for many years, having attended and taught at multiple workshops and Congresos. For those of you unacquainted with Walter’s incredible artwork, it becomes immediately apparent that his work conjures the greatest heights of Classic Maya artistry while making it forever new and alive, rich in color and imagery, heart and soul, and using both traditional and digital media in remarkably innovative ways.
Walter Paz Joj’s work has received increasingly wider recognition through his commissioned work that includes spectacular murals as well as published artwork for multiple conferences, including the Third International Congreso on Maya Hieroglyphic Writing: Ojer Maya’ Tz’ib’ in El Remate, Guatemala in 2016, where I had the good fortune to meet Walter for the first time, and where he taught the beginner’s workshop. As an emerging scholar and artist on the cutting edge of his field, Walter will be contributing an article on contemporary Maya writing in an upcoming edition of the journal The Mayanist:

Here, we present some of the work of Walter Paz Joj for your continued enjoyment, and to promote the astounding work of this modern Maya Aj Tz’ib’.

4 Ajaw 3 Sak (October 20, 2020): Renewing the World, Hope for the Future: Reading and Writing the Ojeer Maya Tz’iib in Santa Cruz del Quiché
Posted on October 20, 2020 by discovermam
4 Ajaw 3 Sak: Drawing by Jorge Pérez de Lara
Juan Rodrigo Guarchaj introduces the Pre-Congreso Workshop
Today, the Cholq’ij returns to the day 4 Ajaw, the day on which the world was renewed. Today, we continue to hope for a better tomorrow, and it is hard to believe that it has been one full cycle of the Cholq’ij since this pandemic arrived, and our world has been forever changed. I have recently heard from our good friend and President of the PLFM, Ajpub’ Pablo García Ixmatá, about the tremendous challenges facing his community and many others like his at this moment, and the painful devastation that Maya communities are having to contend with this year, and I think it is important to share some of his words with you today. Many Maya communities have suffered with lack of adequate healthcare after a surge of cases this past summer, and a reported infection rate that has remained consistently high since then. I am heartbroken to learn that Ajpub’ has lost multiple friends and family to COVID-19. He writes:
Thank you very much for the communication, the truth is it has been a very hard year… Of the dead alone in my community, approximately 60 people have left us, almost one daily in a small community, and there are still people at home, without medicine and without medical attention. The government has totally abandoned health centers, hospitals. It really is a collapse.
The truth is that many families need help, not only in my community but many, both for those who have died and those who lost jobs, they have nothing to eat. But, it is a huge struggle, truly…
The truth is, the modality of the classes now has been a challenge and obstacle for all of us. And of course, students and co-workers are missed. But let’s hope that little by little, we are re-emerging from this problem. As long as we do not have the medicine or vaccine for this disease, we have to take care of ourselves, and others.
The current challenges of the pandemic have made holding workshops and classes an impossibility for so many of us around the world, which has forced us to put our mini-grant program on hold, along with this year’s Congreso, previously scheduled for August. Nevertheless, Ajpub’ and I have discussed the possibility of promoting online workshops in the New Year to see if there is any interest, and to offer some hope for a better future as we are all so isolated right now, but there may be something we can do to provide some hope. Ajpub’ suggested, and I agreed that we should send out a survey to assess the potential for holding online Zoom classes for Maya teachers and students and to assess if they have online access, or what they may need in order to participate in an online workshop. Of course, we must recognize the over-arching priorities of health, work, and food security that are paramount right now for so many of our Maya colleagues, and we hope to be able to offer what we can, in whatever way is feasible within the parameters of our organization. In the coming months, I hope to update you on our progress, including any other reports back from Maya teachers and their communities that we receive.
Today, we publish our last report from one year ago, before the world changed so dramatically, and it reminds us of a better time. We hear from our friend and former Director of the PLFM, Juan Rodrigo Guarchaj Tzep, about the phenomenal pre-Congreso event he held at Rafael Landivar University in Santa Cruz del Quiché in October of 2019. Our friend, the renowned teacher Aj Xol Ch’ok facilitated the instruction. Originally designed as a workshop for only 20 students, it greatly expanded to include 60 participants from the surrounding K’iché, Ixil, Sakapulteko, and Uspanteko communities. The majority of the participants were speakers of K’iché, with others who were Spanish speakers, and several others speaking Kaqchikel, Q’eqchi’, and Tz’utujil. We fondly look back to a time when these kinds of large workshops were possible, and we look towards a future when we can all return to working together again.
May we all find healing and strength in this time, and we wish all of you and all of our Maya friends and their communities health, strength, and hope for the future.

3 Ajaw 3 Ch’en: Drawing by Jorge Pérez de Lara
I write to you beneath the orange, smoke-filled skies of California as we all face the challenges of such a year as this, while also remembering the solemn events of 19 years ago. We are now all connected in our isolation, and we think of our Maya friends and family who continue to endure, despite the many challenges that they continue to face.
We look with hope to a brighter future, when much-needed rain quenches the fires, when we have overcome this global pandemic, and when humanity and this wounded world may one day return to health again. We look forward to that day, when we can finally reunite in person again, and when we might all help to build a better future for our children, and for the Maya students and communities that we serve. Meanwhile, we are currently investigating the possibilities of continuing our work online, and supporting the work of Maya teachers that may be able to carry out their work in a safe, online environment wherever possible, as so many of us around the world are now doing.
This month, we look back to last year, and a report from Hermelinda Gómez López and the ejido Bajucú in Las Margaritas, Chiapas, where she and her team worked to promote literacy in Tojol-ab’al language among a group of students by teaching Tojol-ab’al grammar along with the Maya syllabary. This is one of many similar such efforts which have taken place in Tojol-ab’al communities in Chiapas after the Pre-Congreso events in 2018, where there is a growing enthusiasm among young people about learning the ancient Maya script and taking pride in their shared Maya heritage and ancestry.
We look forward to being able to work with our Maya colleagues in person next year, when it will be safe for students and teachers to be together again. Until then, we remain united in our shared hope for a better world, and we are inspired to overcome our current obstacles in creative and productive ways.
Thank you for all of your ongoing support. We wish you all health and strength in the days ahead.
Tzachatal,
Welcome and presentation of the workshop
The Workshop on Maya Hieroglyphic Writing
In order to strengthen the ancient Mayan script of our ancestors and for our youth to know and recognize it as part of the knowledge of our grandparents, we held the workshop entitled, “Introduction to Maya Ojer Tz’iib’ – Mayan Epigraphy” (“Maya Writing and Tojol-ab’al Literacy”) on March 5th and 6th in 2019 in the ejido Bajucú, municipality of Las Margaritas, Chiapas, Mexico.
This workshop was attended by a group of young enthusiasts from Telebachillerato No. 05, “Carlos A. Carrillo,” the ejido Bajucú, who showed interest and were available during the workshop times. Support came from QFB F. Hernán Martínez Flores, Director of the institution for the proper development of activities. It is also noteworthy that this workshop was possible thanks to the mini-grant funds awarded by Mayas for Ancient Mayan (MAM), which allowed the transfer and purchase of supplies for implementing the workshop.
Explanation of the Indigenous languages of Chiapas
On March 5, 2019, the workshop began by welcoming the participants and pointing out the purpose and the methodology of the work. Subsequently, a brief introduction of Maya epigraphy, with its history and origins, was given, emphasizing that before the arrival of the Spaniards, Mesoamerican Mayan writing was through glyphs and was represented by symbols that could be found on ceramics, wood carving, stone, bone, steles, and walls, and in codices (books). Participants were surprised and interested in this information.
Later, the topic of the grammar of the Tojol-ab’al language was addressed; its importance, the rules for its writing, alphabet and background in ancient Mayan writing were highlighted. The young people immediately did some exercises using the correct grammar of Tojol-ab’al, and their doubts were resolved.
Practice in the use of Tojol-ab’al grammar
On March 6th, the second day of the workshop, feedback of what was seen on the first day was given first. Immediately after, a comparison of the writing of our ancestors was made with the writing of today, stressing that we Mayan speakers understand its importance as the basis of our writing, so we should strengthen and value our knowledge of it, because it is part of our identity.
Afterwards, the Mayan writing system was unveiled, noting that it employs both logograms and phonetic signs to interpret the glyphs. The use of syllabary, its pronunciation, writing method, and the structure of the words were demonstrated. Also, the numbering system from 1 to 20 was shown.
After addressing these topics, participants did some individual exercises to put into practice the knowledge they had acquired, and then they trained in teams to form syllabic words with support from the syllabary.
Working in teams to form words with the support of the syllabary
Finally, they presented their work. They appreciated us teaching them this kind of knowledge, noting that they were unaware of Mayan writing before. They also noted that they were unaware of the correct use of the Tojol-ab’al grammar and commented that they found the workshop important, since they are speakers of the Tojol-ab’al language but do not know how to write it.
This workshop was successfully carried out thanks to the introductory reading and writing manual of the Tz’iib’ system provided in the Maya Epigraphy Pre-Congress workshop, “Introduction to the Operation and Use of the Tz’iib Ojeer Maya,” in November 2017 in the city of Comitán de Domínguez, Chiapas. This workshop was organized by the Tojol-ab’al Language Documentation Center (CDIT) through its teacher, K’anal Ajpub’ (María Bertha Sántiz Pérez) with support from the Universidad Intercultural de Chiapas (UNICH), in coordination with the Fundación Proyecto Francisco Marroquín (PLFM) and the Rafael Landívar University of Guatemala. Support and supplies were provided by a mini-grant from Mayan for Ancient Mayas (MAM), With help, I was able to carry out this workshop satisfactorily and without any setbacks.

“Unity Through Maya Cultural Experience”: Maya Writing and Calendrics with INNO’ON – LA ’OH at the University of Belize
Things have been unusually quiet with us at MAM, since the pandemic has forced us to postpone all of our activities until next year. This summer, we delve into the archive of unpublished reports and bring you a report from Clinton Cho with some wonderful photos of the introductory workshop given by INNO’ON – LA ’OH at the University of Belize in Belmopan in April of 2019. If you look closely at some of the photos, you can see the image of the remarkable Komkom vase newly excavated from Baking Pot, Belize in 2016, which contains the longest known text found on a ceramic vessel, with some 202 glyphs! Also featured is a Maya Calendar tool, beautifully made from wood.
This workshop was taught by Jorge De Leon, and facilitated by Clinton Cho, with Dr. Pio Saqui, and Felicita Cantun. This is a continuation of the previously successful workshop facilitated through INNO’ON-LA ’OH in 2018.
In these challenging times, we are wishing all of our Maya colleagues and supporters well, and looking forward to a time in the near future when all of this will be behind us. We look forward to working together for a brighter future in which Maya cultures, languages, and communities are healthy and thriving. Thank you for all of your continued support through these challenging times.

On behalf of INNO’ON – LA ’OH, the Mayan student association, I would like to express our sincere gratitude to Mayas for Ancient Mayan for assisting us financially to host our Epigraphy Workshop 2019 event. Our event was successful and brought students and individuals from various non-governmental organizations in unity through the Maya culture experience, and they received the knowledge of writing and deciphering hieroglyphs. Thank you once again for making our event possible.

“The child who is born in the light, and the son who is begotten in the light shall go out to you first. They shall worship you first. Your name shall not be forgotten.”
~Popol Vuh: The Sacred Book of the Maya. (Christenson 2007:191)
It is with a heavy heart and great sadness that we mourn the tragic loss of Tata Domingo Choc Ché, renowned and respected Q’eqchi’ Maya Elder, Aj Ilonel, specialist in traditional Maya herbal medicine, and Aj Q’ij, spiritual guide. We join with our Maya friends and allies in condemning his senseless and cruel murder and call for justice for all traditional Maya healers, who continue to be persecuted and attacked out of ignorance and misguided religious intolerance.
So much has happened in the last month.
Already suffering through a global pandemic and the resulting economic hardships that have brought the world to its knees, many of us were shocked and awakened to action after the witnessing the murder of George Floyd, following that of Breonna Taylor, and so many other Black lives in the United States at the hands of those meant to protect those very lives. Certainly, these deaths were not the first, as they follow in a longstanding tradition of racism to which many have turned a blind eye, because the current power structure benefits them. But now the world instantly watches all of this on film and we cannot look away. Quarantined in our homes and feeling helpless to act, it seems we reached a tipping point, and we have seen millions of people all over the world marching together, calling for justice and reform, and having difficult conversations about racism and the acknowledgment of White privilege. Perhaps some real, substantive change can come of these painful events.
Then the news arrived last week of the horrific murder of Tata Domingo Choc Ché in Chimay, Guatemala, on June 6th. Once again, we are called to speak out, to demand justice, and to bring awareness to the ongoing persecution of Maya traditional healers and the important ongoing work of decolonization. Again, we have seen an outpouring of grief, anger, and a demand for justice in Guatemala. As allies of Maya people, we need to use our privilege to amplify these voices for the world to help shed much-needed light on this tragedy.
Tata Mingo, as he was known, was a member of the Association of Councils of Spiritual Guides Releb’aal Saq’e’ (ACGERS), and he had extensive knowledge of the medicinal uses of local plants. In collaboration with medical anthropologist Dr. Monica Berger Gonzalez from the University del Valle in Guatemala, Tata Domingo was working on two large transnational research projects with the University of Zurich in Switzerland, and the University College London. He was in the process of scientifically documenting this traditional knowledge, thereby establishing the legitimacy of Maya science and medicine, and he had helped to establish a botanical garden of endangered medicinal species that are disappearing due to deforestation of the Petén. Yet, despite all of this, he was accused of being a “witch-doctor” and burned alive on camera for the world to see.
A group of people in his village of Chimay tortured and killed Tata Domingo in a harrowing and painful way, and the sickening video of the crime circulated rapidly through social media, much like the video of George Floyd. Four people have been arrested and, so far, one of them has openly confessed to the murder on camera, claiming that Tata Domingo was a “witch” who he blamed for the death of his father—apparently based on false rumors that he was practicing witchcraft on his father’s grave. For further details on this tragedy, please see this article from the Prensa Comunitaria:
https://www.prensacomunitaria.org/cual-fue-la-causa-del-crimen-contra-domingo-choc-che-aj-ilonel2/
[Maya priests hold a portrait of well-known Maya spiritual guide and natural medicine expert Domingo Choc Ché during a press conference and ceremony at Constitution Plaza in Guatemala City, Wednesday, June 10, 2020. Police say they arrested four people in connection with the June 7 killing of Choc Ché in the village of Chimay, in the department of Peten, after he was beaten for hours and the next day doused with gasoline and set on fire by people who believed he had been performing witchcraft at a relative’s gravesite.

Because the alleged perpetrators are also Q’eqchi’ Maya, some have sought to minimize this event as a mere personal vendetta that has nothing to do with racism or religious intolerance. Indeed, further investigation is necessary to ascertain the facts beyond the limited information we have, other than the televised confession of one of the perpetrators, who admitted that he burned Tata Domingo and accused him of being a “witch-doctor” who was responsible for his father’s death.
However, for many others, to minimize this murder as a family squabble misses the larger context of the longstanding discrimination against Maya languages, cultures, and religions, and the increasing attacks on Maya healers in Guatemala based on religious fanaticism and intolerance. Anthropologist Diego Vásquez Monterroso writes:
How can it be racist for a group of Q’eqchi’ to kill a Q’eqchi’? Racism intersects with other forms of contempt for difference (from the dominant group, of course). To accuse someone of being a witch is a death sentence that intersects with another form of hatred: religious extremism. During the Colonial Era, the Maya were first seen within Christianity as minors and later as idolaters. The latter implied that they committed crimes before the Church and the Crown.

Many Maya voices are also speaking out about this, including the K’iche People’s Counsel:
The murder of the spiritual guide Domingo Choc, makes it clear that political and spiritual intolerance remains, and religious fanaticism has deeply damaged the communities.
In current times, the colonial attitudes and behaviors that prevent living the Maya worldview are still in force. When speaking of human rights there is a risk of being assassinated, criminalized and persecuted by groups of people who, manipulated by religious fundamentalism, far from analyzing and questioning indoctrinations, have been submerged and enslaved in ignorance, the result of some religions imposed during the European invasion from 500 years ago to the present day.
Therefore, WE DEMAND that the Public Ministry clarify this reprehensible criminal act. It cannot go unpunished. Identify the masterminds and perpetrators responsible, since several Ancestral Authorities, Spiritual Guides who practice the Maya worldview, are at risk. They are defenders of life and of the territories.
We demand that the Government of Guatemala defend the right to life and freedom of each and all Ajq’ijab’ (spiritual guides), because indigenous peoples have the right to live in harmony with the tangible and intangible elements of Creation and Mother Earth, and there must be necessary measures to guarantee security and freedom.

In this time of loss and tragedy that is so painful for us to endure, I think it is an important time for all of us to reflect on the ways in which Eurocentrism and systems of colonial domination have inescapably shaped all of us. Only by facing these truths can we ever hope to change our world for the better for all of us.
In our work at MAM, we serve and support Maya communities and teachers who are interested in learning about the ancient script and the calendar in an effort to help fortify and revitalize many different Mayan languages, histories, and cultures. To empower Maya people to be able to learn about their own cultures and histories is an important part of the work of decolonization. For too long, the conversation has been one-sided, and Maya people have been made to feel that their ways of life, their languages, and their cultures are somehow inferior to those of Europe. K’iche’ leader Sebastiana Par Álvarez writes:
Uk’u’x kaj, uk’u’x qanan ulew, kqajach ranima’ ri tat Domingo Choc Ché xe’ q’ab’, xe’ aqan alaq, are ta b’a ri qajaw kuq’aluj pa tew kaqiq’, are tab’a ri qanan ulew kpoq’san uwach rech jun je’lalaj ija’ pa uwi’ ralk’wa’l, pa uwi’ qatinamit.
Heart of Heaven, Heart of Earth, we deliver the being and energy of Tata Domingo Choc Ché. May Qajaw and Mother Earth receive him, embrace him in the clouds, in the air and be a new seed for the good path of the people…
Today it is once again evident that education in Guatemala is decontextualized, and alienated from cultural reality, which is why the indigenous / native population does not even know its own Maya culture and science, thus losing the values of ancestral justice.
We demand from the government of Guatemala prompt justice and fulfillment of the cultural rights, conventions and national and international treaties in favor of indigenous / native peoples.

Today is 1 Ajaw, Hun Hunahpu, the eponymous name of the Hero Twin from the Popol Vuh who himself was burned in the fires of Xibalbá, only to be reborn as the sun, vanquishing the Lords of Death. Throughout Mesoamerica, the sun itself is seen as a sacred ancestor who generously gives his light and his life so that we all may live. But in saying this, I do not wish to claim that these metaphorical stories are meant to be taken literally. It is perhaps this very religious literalism that is at the root of this tragedy. I am reminded of Carl Jung, and how he warned that we are doomed to literally act out the very myths whose meaning we do not understand.
In our human search for ways in which to render this tragedy with meaning, I am reminded of the ways in which Maya astronomers wove together the movements of the heavens with life on Earth, and the apotheosis of kings. In the Dresden Codex Venus Table, we see that 1 Ajaw is the repeating day commemorating the heliacal rising of Venus as Morning Star after a long cycle of 104 years. Indeed, the very day after Tata Domingo left this world, Venus rose as Morning Star, itself symbolically passing through the fire of the sun and re-emerging at dawn, reborn.
Just yesterday, we reached the summer solstice and a new moon, with a rare annular eclipse on the other side of the world. On this longest day of the year in what seems like the longest year for all of us, we can only hope that the light of this rare new day will bring us much needed illumination.
From multiple ethnographic sources, we know that the day Ajaw/Hunahpu is a day on which to remember the ancestors, and the day on which the patrilineage priest is to visit the family shrine following the loss of a loved one (Christenson 2007: 191). Today, we honor Tata Domingo Choc Ché.
“ ‘We are merely the avengers of your death and your loss, for the affliction and misfortune that were done to you.’ Thus was their counsel when they had defeated all Xibalba.
Then they arose as the central lights. They arose straight into the sky. One of them arose as the sun, and the other as the moon. Thus the womb of the sky was illuminated over the face of the earth, for they came to dwell in the sky.”

Beneath the Majestic Ceiba: Q’eqchi’ teachers explore the ancient script in San Juan Chamelco, Guatemala
This month, as we are all mostly confined to our homes, we bring you good tidings from Leonel Pacay Rax and Byron Rafael Xi Tot in San Juan Chamelco, Alta Verapaz, Guatemala. Leonel and Byron facilitated a three-part workshop on Maya writing from April to December, 2019 with 21 local Q’eqchi’ teachers.
Among the approximately 30 languages in the Mayan language family, Q’eqchi’ is the second most widely spoken Mayan language (after K’iche’) with well over a million speakers, and it has the distinction of having the highest rate of monolingual speakers who do not speak other languages. In addition, although Q’eqchi’ belongs to the K’ichean subfamily of Mayan languages, which are mostly found in the Highlands of Guatemala, it contains a large number of loanwords from the Ch’olan and Yucatecan languages that are typically associated with the Classic period Maya script. Though Q’eqchi’ speakers are found in the relatively remote area of the Alta Verapaz, there has been a longstanding contact between Q’eqchi’ speakers and speakers of the Lowland Mayan languages (see Soren Wichmann and Kerry Hull 2009
“Loanwords in Q’eqchi’, a Mayan Language of Guatemala’ in Loanwords in the World’s Languages: A Comparative Handbook. Martin Haspelmath, Uri Tadmor, eds. Berlin: De Gruyter Mouton.)
https://web.archive.org/web/20110915143115/http://wold.livingsources.org/language/34
This brings up an interesting and complex issue in our collective work to revitalize the Maya script for all Maya people. Namely, linguists have carefully classified the 30 different Mayan languages as all related to single ancestral tongue that most likely existed over 3,000 years ago, referred to as proto-Mayan, since we do not know the original name. Interestingly, the name “Mayan” itself derives from the name Maaya’-T’àan, or the Yucatec language, which was the first Mayan language that was documented by the Spanish, and then the term was used by archaeologists to refer to the Ancient Maya, as well as by linguists to refer to all speakers of Mayan languages.
As the decipherment of the Maya script progressed in the late 20th Century, clear evidence emerged that the lingua franca of the Classic Script was most closely related to an extinct but documented language called Ch’olti’an, which was part of the Eastern Ch’olan branch of the Mayan language family. The highly endangered language of Ch’orti, spoken in Honduras and in Chiquimula, Guatemala, is apparently the next closest relative, though neither one of these languages is identical with the script from the Classic period, just as Spanish is different from its ancestral Latin. Much as Latin was used in the Roman Empire, the language of the Classic script was an elite, prestige language that was apparently quite standardized. However, there is clear evidence that the Maya script was used to write Yucatecan languages, as well as Tzeltalan, and possibly K’ichean. We likewise see examples of even non-Mayan Nahua words in the glyphs (see Kettunen and Helmke, 2020: 13). Wayeb Resources-Kettunen and Helmke
The extent to which speakers of other Mayan languages used hieroglyphic writing is not fully known, though scribal languages are typically used by diverse language speakers. Tragically, all but four of the codices have been destroyed, yet even the K’iche’ Popol Vuh itself was apparently transcribed from an original written version in some form. With advances in the decipherment of the Maya script, speakers of many different Mayan languages have taken a great interest in learning this ancient writing system which was used to write a language related to their own languages, and they invited epigraphers to teach them what they knew, which is how MAM first developed as an organization. As our Maya colleagues have learned to read and write in this ancient script, they have recognized their common Mayan heritage, including the very familiar calendars still kept by living Maya people, and they have taken great pride in valuing their own languages and cultures in the face of enormous pressures to assimilate. Insights gained from living Maya traditions in both the Highlands and Lowlands have helped archaeologists and epigraphers to interpret the Ancient Maya past. Imagine how many more insights may be gained by having Maya people participate more fully in this effort as Aj Tz’iibob, epigraphers, and archaeologists themselves.
Living writing systems naturally change and adapt, and our Maya colleagues have each adapted the Maya script to write and record their own living Mayan languages, sometimes necessitating the need for a few new syllabic glyphs to represent sounds in the Highland Mayan languages that do not exist in the lowland script, such as /q/, /q’/, /r/ and /r/. Even modern Ch’orti uses the /r/ sound that did not exist in its close cousin in the Classic script.
In a very real way, this script is again a living connection that brings together all Maya people with a common heritage that have suffered under colonial rule, much as the European Renaissance emerged following the Dark Ages, after which Europeans of all different languages and nations looked to the Greek and Roman cultures as their common cultural heritage, inspiring great works of art, literature, science, and culture.
Now, all European languages are written using descendants of the Greek script, which gave rise to both the Roman and Cyrillic scripts we see today. No longer are these scripts confined to just writing Greek and Latin. They allow us to learn about our ancient history and our ancestors who preceded us, but they also allow us to write our own histories, and to be a part of making history ourselves.
What we are seeing now with the interest in the Classic Maya script among Maya people of all different languages is very much a Maya Cultural Renaissance, and it is a great honor and privilege for us to be a part of this at MAM as we witness history in the making, and as we celebrate the achievements of Maya cultures, past and present.
Our hearts go out to all of our greater human family who are suffering in this current pandemic, and especially to our many Maya colleagues at this difficult time. We stand with you and send this message of hope, health, and more life as our planet begins to heal. This is not the first pandemic humanity has endured, and Maya people suffered greatly when the diseases of Europe ravaged native populations many centuries ago. We look forward to emerging from this pandemic with strength, more dedicated to our cause, and with great resolve for making the Fifth International Congreso on Ancient Maya Writing next year a powerful, historical event.
To all of our generous supporters, thank you all for being a part of making history.

Maria Francisca Elias at Yaxha’ during the 3rd International Congreso in 2016.
Given the current circumstances surrounding the global Coronavirus pandemic, it is with a heavy heart that I must announce the postponement of the Fifth International Congreso on Ancient Maya Writing— Ojer Maya’ Tz’ib’—which was scheduled for August 18-21 of this year. The Congreso Planning Committee has agreed to postpone the event until August of 2021, and we at MAM have decided that, in order to protect our Maya colleagues and communities, we will also be canceling this years mini-grant program.
Here is the notification posted by the Congreso Organizing Team:
In solidarity with humanity, which is suffering the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic worldwide, we informed our Maya sisters and brothers from different towns in Mesoamerica, who have participated in our workshops and conferences, that the Fifth International Congreso on Ojer Maya’ Tz’ib’ in 2020 has been suspended. In addition, the mini-grant workshops in Maya communities have been canceled.
Further, we report that the date of the event will be transferred to be carried out in the same place and date in 2021.
Deep thanks to our supporters for the development of these Congresos, workshops, and conferences, as well as the financing of mini-grants:
Mayas for Ancient Mayan —MAM—and their collaborators.
Fundación Proyecto Ligüistico, Francisco Marroquin – PLFM and the International Congreso Organizing Team.
To all of you—our extended family of Maya friends, our supporters and contributors, our families and loved ones—and to all humanity, we wish you good health and strength in this time. Together we will re-emerge from this profound moment in history stronger and ever more resolved and committed to our cause. To all of those who have donated to our cause for the upcoming Congreso and mini-grants, we will hold your donations in trust for the next year, or as soon as the timeline will allow us to safely send out an announcement for our next mini-grant program. We hope we will continue to have your support and your dedication, especially as we emerge from this crisis and move into next year with a resounding affirmation to continue our work of supporting our Maya colleagues in their efforts to reconnect to their own history.

11 Ajaw 8 K’ayab: Drawing by Jorge Pérez de Lara
As the second month of 2020 already comes to a close, we are reminded of the upcoming Congreso, now just six months away in Comitán, Chiapas. The proposed theme this year will be Maya Vases, and we are excited to be working with the Congreso Planning Committee to help make this an unforgettable event.
We would like to welcome the new Director of the Proyecto Lingüístico Francisco Marroquín (PLFM) Foundation, Juana Celilia Ixch’umiil García Méndez, and we would similarly like to thank Juan Rodrigo Guarchaj Itzep for his years of service as the previous Director. We have enjoyed working together with the PLFM, and we look forward to working with them and the Congreso Planning Committee in the future.
In honoring the upcoming Congreso in Chiapas, this month, we hear from the Lunas Yaxche Team, comprised of three inspiring teachers from Huixtán, Chiapas: Silvia Maribel Ts’it Ts’eme, Norma Erika Ch’ijk’ Mulex, and Francisca Bautista Gómez. Working with Tseltal and Tsotsil speakers from multiple communities, this team taught the first introductory hieroglyphic workshop in Huixtán, and we look forward to seeing additional workshops here in the future as Maya people from several countries converge in Chiapas for this year’s Congreso.
As always, thank you for your continued support for the work we are doing on behalf of our Maya colleagues.

The first introductory workshop with the Maya syllabary was held with the collaboration of the Centro de Estudios Científicos y Tecnológicos (CECyT) 27, the state high school in Huixtán; MAM (Mayas for Ancient Mayan); the continued support of Michael Grofe; and the Lunas Yaxche Group. Both institutions and advisers showed the best readiness for this activity.
For the first time in the municipality an introductory workshop with the Maya syllabary was held, with 22 young people from 15 to 17 years old, originating from different communities: San Sebastián, San Andrés, Chempil, and San Pedro la Tejeria, among others. This workshop involved social contexts lived by Mayan descendants, including the discrimination and racism that has been experienced. However, the youth group showed openness to learning ancient writing. Continue reading →

Dual name proposal confirmed
HomeYour CouncilOur NewsDual name proposal confirmed
Sign up to our online news
The New Zealand Geographic Board Ngā Pou Taunaha o Aotearoa has confirmed the proposal to change the name of Poverty Bay to a dual name – Tūranganui-a-Kiwa / Poverty Bay.
More than 600 submissions were made about the proposal between 24 May and 24 August, after the board accepted the dual name proposal from Council.
Board acting chairperson Anselm Haanen says of the 609 submissions were received, a quarter clearly supported the proposal.
A quarter of the submissions preferred just “Poverty Bay” and a quarter preferred just “Tūranganui-a-Kiwa”. The remaining submissions offered ambiguous support or were neutral.
Mr Haanen says the board considered the reasons provided by the submitters, recognising the heritage and significance of both names, which is why a dual name offers the best solution.
Captain James Cook named Poverty Bay when he landed there in 1769 and was unable to re-supply his ship.
Tūranganui-a-Kiwa means “the great or long-standing place of Kiwa”.
“This name has been documented since about 1830 as the name for the bay, but its use has been much longer in oral tradition,” Mr Haanen says.
The board will prepare a report for Land Information Minister Eugenie Sage, who will make the final decision.

TOXIC BEAUTY: THE ART OF FRANK MOORE
September 7 – December 8, 2012
On view at: Grey Art Gallery
Toxic Beauty: The Art of Frank Moore is the most comprehensive retrospective of work by a remarkable artist whose life was tragically cut short by AIDS. Frank Moore (1953-2002) is best known for his hyperrealist, large-scale paintings surrounded by inventive custom-made frames. Addressing themes drawn from American visual culture, the state of the health care industry, and his own life, Moore was prescient in his concern about the dangers of genetically modified foods. His paintings often explore human effects on the natural environment, all too apparent, as he noted, in many "sites of great, but toxic, beauty." Featuring approximately 50 paintings and drawings, the exhibition spans Moore's entire career and includes videos, maquettes, sketchbooks, and related archival materials. Toxic Beauty will be on view simultaneously at the Grey Art Gallery and at the Tracey-Barry Gallery at Fales Library, which houses New York University's special collections and Frank Moore's papers. Curated by Susan Harris with Lynn Gumpert, Toxic Beauty is accompanied by a fully illustrated catalogue.

This month we are featuring 36 books. There are more than twice as many new sff and related releases this month in traditional publishing not to speak of the countless indies from Amazon and Smashwords but we are limiting ourselves to books that will be reviewed here or are similar with such.

Michael Sullivan’s newest series was announced just a couple of days ago and his next book will be The Crown Tower— a full-length Royce and Hadrian novel—and the first of The Riyria Chronicles, which is scheduled for release by Orbit in August 2013 in trade paperback, electronic book, and audio formats.
Here’s what Michael had to say about the prequel series:
“The Riyria Chronicles, as I envision them, are stories that fill in the history of the twelve years of Royce and Hadrian’s life as Riyria. They will be generally standalone novels that I imagine will center on significant events in their career together, told mostly in order, and I was thinking one book for everyone of one their twelve years. That’s not to say I will write twelve books. This isn’t that kind of series. It’s not an ongoing tale or interconnected in the sense that Revelations was, or Song of Ice and Fire is."
"It really can’t be since if you’ve read The Riyria Revelations, you already know how everything turns out. So this won’t be a single story told in parts, but rather much more episodic like The Adventure of Sherlock Holmes or maybe the Dresden Files—only with medieval thieves instead of nineteenth century detectives or modern day wizards.”
"Chronicles will likely hit on topics hinted at in The Riyria Revelations that readers have asked about like the original Drumindor job, the disaster that was Blythe Castle, the Crown Tower heist as well as others never previously touched on. While I have several additional projects under production, The Riyria Chronicles allows me a framework to put out a new Royce and Hadrian story every so often, just for the fun of it without hampering me from stretching my authorial limits by discovering new characters and worlds to explore.“
For more info on the blurb, head over to the Orbit blog and keep an eye out for The Crown Tower next year.

Spotlight on Some Recent SFF Titles of Interest (with comments by Mihir Wanchoo)
There’s only so much time I can spare towards reading and in an ideal world I would have read all of these titles by now. However since cloning hasn’t come of age, for now I’ll be doing a quick spotlight on all of them along with a few comments as I've read a bit of all except one. I will be trying my best to review them in the coming months over here or Bastard Books.
BETWEEN TWO FIRES by Christopher Buehlman
Book Blurb - And Lucifer said: “Let us rise against Him now in all our numbers, and pull the walls of heaven down…”
The year is 1348. Thomas, a disgraced knight, has found a young girl alone in a dead Norman village. An orphan of the Black Death, and an almost unnerving picture of innocence, she tells Thomas that plague is only part of a larger cataclysm—that the fallen angels under Lucifer are rising in a second war on heaven, and that the world of men has fallen behind the lines of conflict.
Is it delirium or is it faith? She believes she has seen the angels of God. She believes the righteous dead speak to her in dreams. And now she has convinced the faithless Thomas to shepherd her across a depraved landscape to Avignon. There, she tells Thomas, she will fulfill her mission: to confront the evil that has devastated the earth, and to restore to this betrayed, murderous knight the nobility and hope of salvation he long abandoned.
As hell unleashes its wrath, and as the true nature of the girl is revealed, Thomas will find himself on a macabre battleground of angels and demons, saints, and the risen dead, and in the midst of a desperate struggle for nothing less than the soul of man.
Thoughts: With a premise very similar to The Crucible series by the late Sara Douglass, Christopher Buehlman’s sophomore effort came under my radar a bit later than I would have preferred. Mixing a metaphysical war within the historical premise of war-torn Europe that is also under the deadly grasp of the Black Death, makes for an exciting storyline. The author’s forte is supposed to be horror and so I look forward to his mix of medieval fantasy and horror. Readers can also read this excerpt to get started on this book that releases next week.
LISTENING TO RAIN by Albert A. Dalia
Book Blurb - China, 627 C.E. The Tang dynasty’s rule remains tentative after a decade of civil war. The rise of a new uncertainty in the far south thrusts the fledgling dynasty between its most powerful enemies in the north and the possible revolt of the southern aborigines. The emperor and his grand minister delegate a two-man assessment team – the Shaolin Blade, Tanzong and the Imperial Commissioner, Li Wei to travel into the southern regions and negotiate with the aboriginal leader.
The first volume of this epic wuxia adventure tale follows the duo to the mysterious Isle of Pearls. To get there, they must use secret Taoist underground waterways, fight off the airborne attacks of the Thunder Lords, cross storm-tossed seas in a shaman’s bronze ship, and then sail aboard the Dragonfly, with the female aboriginal pirate captain, Byung Nhak, as she engages the local warlord, the Iron Shaman and his fleet of Seahawks.
Their heroic journey continues into the center of the island through the unexplored “Land of Drifting Ghosts” mountain range in search of a legendary lost Buddhist monastery. While the long hidden Celestial Masters sect of Taoism and an enigmatic Tibetan princess pose an immediate threat, Tanzong’s internal conflicts offer the greater danger. The series, The Adventures of the Shaolin Blade Tanzong, will follow Tanzong’s adventures throughout the medieval Chinese empire.
Thoughts: This book reminds me a lot of Barry Hughart’s Chronicles of Master Li and Number Ten Ox however this book is more grounded in history than mythology as was Barry’s seminal work. Again after reading the first few chapters, it has become apparent that the author has taken some liberties but promises a rousing story filled with action, wonder and mystery. Plus with such a stark but eye-catching cover by Jungshan Ink there’s much to admire in Albert Dalia’s historical fantasy series. Look forward to the review in the upcoming weeks of October.
MAGE’S BLOOD by David Hair
Book Blurb - For years the Leviathan Bridge was a boon for prosperity and culture. But when the Rondian Emperor turned his avaricious eyes toward it, peace became war. In successive crusades the Imperial legions and their mighty battle-mages plundered the East unopposed.
Now the Moontide has come again, the Bridge is rising from beneath the waves, and the Third Crusade is poised for release. The board is set and the pieces are moving. But three lowly pawns, barely regarded, threaten the game: A failed mage, a jaded mercenary and a lowly market-girl are about to be catapulted into the maelstrom. Their choices and their courage are about to change the world.
Come to Urte, where the moon covers half the sky and the tides render the seas impassable. Where windships ply the skies and magi with god-gifted powers rule the earth. Where East and West are divided by colour, creed, language and the sea, but drawn to each other irrevocably in a dance of life and death. The Moontide is coming, to sweep away all in its path.
Thoughts: I’m currently reading this book and its turning out to a good read with a sweeping world scenario that is very reminiscent of the best epic fantasy has to offer. Additionally with a liberal dose of cultures similar to those of our world, the author has managed to build an interesting world scenario and back-history. Showcasing a clash between the western and eastern parts of world, in this case literally the author has spawned a story spanning many nations and characters that will leave a mark on the reader's minds. Look out for the review next week (hopefully).
GEARTEETH by Timothy Black
Book Blurb - In 1890 a disease that turned sane men into ravenous werewolves erupted in the United States and soon spread to the rest of the world. On the brink of humanity’s extinction, Nikola Tesla and a secret order of scientists known as the Tellurians revealed a bold plan: the uninfected would abandon the Earth’s surface by rising up in floating salvation cities, iron and steel metropolises that carried tens of thousands of refugees above the savage apocalypse. The remnants of mankind huddled fearfully in the clouds, waiting for the werewolves to devour each other.
Yet twenty years later only one salvation city remains aloft, while the beasts still rule the world below. Time has taken its toll on the miraculous machinery of the city, and soon the last of the survivors will plummet to their doom. But when Elijah Kelly, a brakeman aboard the largest of the city’s Thunder Trains, is infected by the werewolf virus he discovers a secret world of lies and horrific experiments that hide the disturbing truth about the Tellurians.
When the beast in his blood surges forth, Elijah must choose between the lives of those he loves and the city that is humanity’s last hope of survival.
Thoughts: The blurb promises a steampunk story mixed with werewolves in an apocalyptic world setting, plus there’s the presence of Nicholas Tesla and airborne cities. How can one resist such a premise and after reading an excerpt I was hooked. Hopefully this book will deliver on its promising blurb as well as the aforementioned reasons, I will do my best to review it as well. Check out the first chapter on the author's website or download a sample from Amazon to get a better idea about the book.
MINDING THE HEAVENS Part I: ELECTION by James Pyle
Book Blurb - Minding the Heavens is a series of three novellas that chronicle the intersection of four distinct stories:
1) Lawrence Fielding is in his mid-twenties, works for his uncle (whom he hates) and has recently broken up with his longtime girlfriend. He is determined to kill himself until a chance encounter with a man claiming to be the devil starts him down a path of curious, and seemingly inexplicable, incidence.
2) Michael, once an angel of the Host of Heaven, is now a drunk who has wandered North America for the better part of five decades.
3) Samuel is a reclusive assassin who, just as he decides to retire, is offered one final opportunity unlike anything he's ever done before.
4) Diedrich Markus was, at one time, a promising young physicist. That is, however, until he published a paper claiming to have found evidence that the fundamental laws of quantum mechanics work differently within the Trans-America building in San Francisco. After several unaccounted years, Markus resurfaces at a small, decidedly hippy-like, university in Western Washington.
Thoughts: Mea culpa it was the blurb again. This is one of the most enticing blurbs I have ever read. Mixing angels with physics and assassins promises to be a mad caper and from what I have read of the beginnings of this novella, this one is looking to be a terrific story with a strong Terry Pratchett-esque vibe to it. Also originally this series was titled The Zany Misadventures of Lucifer the Fallen One, now that should be a good indicator of what the plot of the book might entail.
COLD IRON by Josh Loomis
Book Blurb - Detective Morgan Everson has gotten pretty acquainted with death. She sees it all the time, especially working the Special Homicide division in Philadelphia. But this case is new. In this case, the victim of the murder is also a potential eye-witness. His name is Seth, and he was dead for thirty-five years before they found him wandering around a cemetery.
A detective himself in the 1980s, Seth sets about putting together the pieces of the former life he can barely remember. In his wake, however, people who knew him start dying, and in particularly violent ways that put them squarely in Morgan's lap. She must discover the connection between Seth and the murders, even as Seth works to understand the whys and wherefores of his resurrection. The connection between the two may be the bullet found among his belongings. It is not jacketed in steel or made with silver, but instead has a core of cold iron. What it means, and the intent behind its creation, will change the lives of both detectives forever.
What is the secret of Seth’s resurrection? Why are his old friends and acquaintances getting killed? And what is Morgan not telling him about this new world into which he’s awakened?
Thoughts: I have read and thoroughly enjoyed this debut novella. I’ll be reviewing next week on Bastard books and all I can say about it is that this is a terrific story and I’m waiting anxiously to read the next book COLD STREETS. The author describes it “Law and Order meets World of Darkness” and while that estimation is pretty spot-on, there’s a lot more being left unsaid in regards to the mythology utilized and the world settings of the story.

INTRODUCTION: Peter Hamilton needs no introduction since he is one of today's leading science fiction writers and the ‘King’ of modern space opera. Even his second tier space operas are head and shoulders above most everything written in the genre. At his best like in The Night's Dawn trilogy which is my all time favorite finished sff series, or in “Pandora's Star” with its vividly described future and multilayered plotlines that converge in so many interesting and unexpected ways, the author evokes a sense of wonder that is unrivaled.
On the other hand his standalone novel Fallen Dragon had great promise and a sweet wish fulfilling ending but ultimately lacked the sophistication of his main series as it was structurally weaker, so when another standalone, Great North Road, with the blurb below was announced, I was both very excited and a little worried how it will go.
"In Newcastle-upon-Tyne, AD 2142, Detective Sidney Hurst attends a brutal murder scene. The victim is one of the wealthy North family clones – but none have been reported missing. And the crime’s most disturbing aspect is how the victim was killed. Twenty years ago, a North clone billionaire and his household were horrifically murdered in exactly the same manner, on the tropical planet of St Libra. But if the murderer is still at large, was Angela Tramelo wrongly convicted? Tough and confident, she never waivered under interrogation – claiming she alone survived an alien attack. But there is no animal life on St Libra.
Investigating this alien threat becomes the Human Defence Agency’s top priority. The bio-fuel flowing from St Libra is the lifeblood of Earth’s economy and must be secured. So a vast expedition is mounted via the Newcastle gateway, and teams of engineers, support personnel and xenobiologists are dispatched to the planet. Along with their technical advisor, grudgingly released from prison, Angela Tramelo. But the expedition is cut off, deep within St Libra’s rainforests. Then the murders begin. Someone or something is picking off the team one by one. Angela insists it’s the alien, but her new colleagues aren’t so sure. Maybe she did see an alien, or maybe she has other reasons for being on St Libra ... In this stunning, standalone adventure, Peter F. Hamilton blends fast-paced narrative with vividly imagined future-worlds"
OVERVIEW/ANALYSIS: On finishing my first read of Great North Road, I was a little mixed: an addictive but very self-indulgent read, a new universe and a somewhat fresh take on the author's usual themes - long life, the rich, sense of wonder, detailed world building, "alien aliens" - but also same thematic repetitions becoming a bit too much; not to speak of pages after pages dedicated to the burning issue of identifying a missing taxi in the all-around surveillance world of the 2300's...
I also thought that Great North Road was a book that should have been slimmed down considerably and could have easily done with much less from the Newcastle police investigation which takes probably about half the novel and gets very boring after a while. Similarly the parochial mannerisms from that thread are funny once or twice but get tired quite fast, with "pet" the worst offender by a lot.
On the second read when you know that you can skip a lot of the bloat and lose nothing, the novel improved in so far I knew to avoid the large chunk dealing with the Newcastle police investigation and just focus on Angela's saga which is actually excellent, so I suggest the following strategy to all the new readers, strategy that will improve considerably in my opinion your experience of Great North Road:
Read Angela's story and only browse through the Newcastle investigation; especially if you get stalled early into the book, start at page 232 and look up the first chapter with Angela in prison and then skip everything that takes place in Newcastle - no loss as anyway what happens there is updated for the heroes of the space opera part in a few lines every now and then - except towards the end when the stories converge; this way you will have one of the most gripping reads of the author as the space opera/planetary adventure part is superb.
The many details that add depth to the world building - the billionaire only planet Monaco - of course with lots of "non-citizen" help, the North clone brothers, their different paths and their many progeny which emphasize how the super rich will be always different, the personal story of Angela and of course lots more - are vintage Hamilton and I cannot emphasize enough how good are those 600 pages dedicated to the alien/Angela thread.
The tuckerization of fans and Tor people is a nice inside joke and it's good to see the coming of age of the online community expressed this way in important novels like Great North Road or Dance with Dragons; if you are not aware of this, it's worth digging a little for details.
Overall, Great North Road is a highly recommended novel of 2012, while missing my top 25 where I had expected it to place.
A MORE DIVERSE UNIVERSE: Celebrating People Of Color Speculative Fiction Authors (by Mihir Wanchoo)
I’m a bit too late to join this event but I think it deserves all the attention and praise it can get. Aarti of Booklust blog had posted about the initial announcement over on her blog in late August and these were the pertinent points highlighted in regards to the inception of this tour:
“I've spoken on this blog (and in other forums) about the lack of diversity in fantasy fiction, particularly fantasy fiction of the epic nature. If epic fantasy has diversity, it is often present in a fashion that mirrors the stereotypes of Medieval Europe, with Viking-like invaders from the North and Infidels from the East and uneasy peaces and petty wars with those that look most like the heroes of the stories. This is unfair for many reasons that I hope I don't need to enumerate here. And of course, there are absolutely amazing authors whose books are populated by characters of every size, shape, color, and species.”
“But it's still difficult and frustrating to be a fantasy reader who comes up against the same tropes in every book. Because while fantasy novels can be, well, fantastic, they can also be very repetitive and tell the same story with different character names. And I can't help but think that at least part of the reason is because of the lack of diversity in fantasy book authorship. Because it is hard to break into the fantasy genre as a new author, generally. And even more difficult if your book is about a person of color. And most difficult of all if you yourself are a person of color writing stories about characters of color.”
“And so a small group of bloggers got together to create an event to fight this. And, as bloggers do, we decided to organize a blog tour. For one week in September (the week of the 23rd), we want ALL OF YOU fantasy/sci fi/magical realism readers (with blogs and without) to read a fantasy/sci fi/magical realism novel written by a person of color. And to write a review of that book! You know as well as I do that books succeed based on word of mouth and mentions and conversation, and this is where bloggers can help the MOST. Just read one book. And share your thoughts on that one book.”
There’s a lot more to it and the details in regards to what constitutes a piece written by an author of color as well as a “recommended reading list – People of Color in Fantasy literature” and much more can be found in that post (scroll all the way down). I thought this to be an initiative that’s worth highlighting and it has already begun with the schedule being posted over on Aarti’s blog:

I would like to thank Aarti and all other bloggers for organizing this event and for all the time and hard work they put in for successfully running it. Lastly since I wasn't able to participate in this event, I’ll still be trying to review a book that fits under the canopy of this blog tour. As luck would have it, I recently read a great debut that I believe, fits the billing perfectly so look out for the review of GOVINDA by Krishna Udayasankar on the 3rd of October.

Three Short Reviews: "Swimming Home" by Deborah Levy, "The Lighthouse" by Alison Moore and "The Dinner" by Herman Koch (Reviewed by Liviu Suciu)
"As he arrives with his family at the villa in the hills above Nice, Joe sees a body in the swimming pool. But the girl is very much alive. She is Kitty Finch: a self-proclaimed botanist with green-painted fingernails, walking naked out of the water and into the heart of their holiday. Why is she there? What does she want from them all? And why does Joe's enigmatic wife allow her to remain?
A subversively brilliant study of love, Swimming Home reveals how the most devastating secrets are the ones we keep from ourselves"
Swimming Home is a short, powerful novel that just "lives" through its characters and its narrative pull; from the Booker 2012 longlist my 3rd favorite novel and from the shortlist 2nd - I would not mind it winning however unlikely that is.
The setup is explained well in the blurb though there quite a few tidbits that are sprinkled throughout the novel and add a lot and yes there is this feeling of "incompleteness", of author could have written 400 pages and still have something to say about the four main characters of the book - the 57 year old poet Joe Jacobs - JHJ - Holocaust survivor and haunted by his perceived abandonment in a Polish forest at age 5 by his parents, however rationally known that was done to save his life as the parents and his young sister died in the Nazi extermination camps, his mostly absent war correspondent wife Isabel, their 14 year old daughter Nina and the young Kitty Finch who comes and wreaks even more havoc in their unsettled lives - but so what, the book lives powerfully this way too and shows once again the distinction between books that pull one in and books that are crafted to win prizes.
"The Lighthouse begins on a North Sea ferry, on whose blustery outer deck stands Futh, a middle-aged, recently separated man heading to Germany for a restorative walking holiday.
Spending his first night in Hellhaus at a small, family-run hotel, he finds the landlady hospitable but is troubled by an encounter with an inexplicably hostile barman.
In the morning, Futh puts the episode behind him and sets out on his week-long circular walk along the Rhine. As he travels, he contemplates his childhood; a complicated friendship with the son of a lonely neighbour; his parents’ broken marriage and his own. But the story he keeps coming back to, the person and the event affecting all others, is his mother and her abandonment of him as a boy, which left him with a void to fill, a substitute to find.
He recalls his first trip to Germany with his newly single father. He is mindful of something he neglected to do there, an omission which threatens to have devastating repercussions for him this time around.
At the end of the week, Futh, sunburnt and blistered, comes to the end of his circular walk, returning to what he sees as the sanctuary of the Hellhaus hotel, unaware of the events which have been unfolding there in his absence"
The Lighthouse is a short novel that epitomizes today's state of the art self-centered literary fiction and both what is right with it - occasionally excellent prose and moments of intensity - and what is wrong with it - lots of pointlessness and "so, what, who cares?" stuff.
Not the weakest Booker shortlisted novel - hard to beat the joke played on the reader that's Umbrella - but a weakish novel for that level as basically it is much ado about nothing; still the writing is absorbing on occasion, but again more the pity that literary authors today are afraid to tackle big books and leave them to competent craftsmen like Ken Follett, though with Hilary Mantel's or Jonathan Littell's successes and the trickle of literary authors hitting it big in genre (see Justin Cronin) maybe the navel gazing of what passes for literary culture will change a little.
An acceptable but not particularly recommended read beyond the interest from its Booker prize shortlisting.
"It's a summer's evening in Amsterdam, and two couples meet at a fashionable restaurant for dinner. Between mouthfuls of food and over the polite scrapings of cutlery, the conversation remains a gentle hum of polite discourse -- the banality of work, the triviality of the holidays. But behind the empty words, terrible things need to be said, and with every forced smile and every new course, the knives are being sharpened.
Each couple has a fifteen-year-old son. The two boys are united by their accountability for a single horrific act; an act that has triggered a police investigation and shattered the comfortable, insulated worlds of their families. As the dinner reaches its culinary climax, the conversation finally touches on their children. As civility and friendship disintegrate, each couple show just how far they are prepared to go to protect those they love.
Tautly written, incredibly gripping, and told by an unforgettable narrator, The Dinner promises to be the topic of countless dinner party debates. Skewering everything from parenting values to pretentious menus to political convictions, this novel reveals the dark side of genteel society and asks what each of us would do in the face of unimaginable tragedy."
The Dinner is a book that is written well and it is quite absorbing, while its controversial nature is more of a reflection of the conflict between the contemporary pc values and human nature than anything else as the decisions taken by the narrator and his wife would be quite uncontroversial in earlier times when family was paramount. So from this point of view, while the slowly increasing tension keeps one turning the pages, the book is ultimately relatively banal when you look at it from a historical perspective.
The other point that I think the book drives well home - intentionally or not - is how today's world is quite fragile and beneath the civilized facade lurk ancient demons, but that's a point that survivors of the attempt to create the "new human" during the last century collectivist dictatorships know very well, even if the contemporary trends towards collectivism in Europe tends to mask it beneath pc rhetoric; this of course until prosperity will break down and the ancient demons will resurface, so The Dinner does well as a warning too: better keep the (relative) prosperity rolling at all costs...
Recommended though not as controversial or as cutting edge as it was made to be.
The Tainted City by Courtney Schafer (Reviewed by Mihir Wanchoo)

Read the first two chapters HERE
Read FBC’s Review of The Whitefire Crossing
Read FBC’s Multi-Author Interview with Courtney Schafer
AUTHOR INFORMATION: Courtney Schafer attended college at Caltech where she obtained a B.S. in Electrical Engineering and also learned how to rock climb, backpack, ski and scuba dive. She then earned her Masters at the University of Colorado. Courtney now works in the aerospace industry and is married to an Australian scientist who shares her love for speculative fiction and mountain climbing.
OFFICIAL BLURB: Dev is a desperate man. After narrowly surviving a smuggling job gone wrong, he’s now a prisoner of the Alathian Council, held hostage to ensure his friend Kiran — former apprentice to one of the most ruthless mages alive — does their bidding.
But Kiran isn’t Dev’s only concern. Back in his home city of Ninavel, the child he once swore to protect faces a terrible fate if he can’t reach her in time, and the days are fast slipping away. So when the Council offers Dev freedom in exchange for his and Kiran’s assistance in a clandestine mission to Ninavel, he can’t refuse, no matter how much he distrusts their motives.
Once in Ninavel the mission proves more treacherous than even Dev could have imagined. Betrayed by allies, forced to aid their enemies, he and Kiran must confront the darkest truths of their pasts if they hope to save those they love and survive their return to the Tainted City.
FORMAT/INFO: The Tainted City is 402 pages long divided over twenty-six numbered chapters. Narration alternates between Dev’s first-person POV and Kiran’s third-person POV. The Tainted City is the second book in The Shattered Sigil series. The third book, The Labyrinth Of Flame will provide a conclusion to this series.
September 25 2012 marks the Trade Paperback publication of The Tainted City via Night Shade Books. Cover art is provided by David Palumbo.
ANALYSIS: Courtney Schafer’s debut was one that was highly appreciated over here at FBC as well as other places on the blogosphere. I loved it and consequently it was #5 in my list of the 2011 top ten debuts. Based on the blurb details, one can make out that this time the story faces a reverse pattern, previously both characters were racing towards the Alathian border but this time they are coming back to Ninavel and it doesn't look like they might get a pleasant reception.
The actual plot opens with Dev being stuck to mine work as part of his punishment in smuggling goods across the border. Kiran on the other hand has been all but magically handicapped as his magic is just anathema to the Alathian magic moral code. Things have been a bit tumultuous with the Alathian borders facing a strange magical assault. The Alathians are forced to send a covert team to Ninavel from wherein these waves seem to emanate and it has been targeting the Ninavel power confluence as well. Kiran is very hesitant to join the Alathian team, as this will lead him right back in to Ruslan’s backyard, a situation he desperately wants to avoid. Dev on the other hand, is in two minds about the trip but will be forced to go as his concern for Melly outweighs his personal concerns. The party selected to go to Ninavel will have to be on their guard as they are entering a nest wherein nobody can be trusted and there are more dangers than previously thought of.
This book is a very good sequel to The Whitefire Crossing and in many ways a book that is as different from its predecessor as oranges and apples. This book is a reverse journey for the characters, who go from Alathia to Ninavel and the reader gets a good feel as to why Ninavel is considered by many to be so dangerous. The storyline is drastically different in the style utilized as while the first book was very much an adventure thriller in the vein of James Rollins’ books, focusing on the Whitefire Mountain terrain that was so vividly described. This book is more akin to a Noir-mystery with multiple twists similar to Steve Hamilton’s stories wherein the protagonists and readers are equally in the dark.
The characterization is top notch similar to the first book and follows the curious pattern of Dev in the first and Kiran in the third-person narrative. This time around the side character cast is visibly widened. Kiran’s mage comrades Ruslan, Mikael and Lizaveta are given center stage as we get a detailed look into their way of life and behavior. It becomes very clear to the readers why Kiran was so wary and wanted to get away from them at any cost. Ruslan and Lizaveta’s behavior is sociopathic to say the least but the events that occur in the book reveal the depth of their cunning and determination to get things done their way. There are also quite some sexual shenanigans occurring in this story, which are again different from those in the first book. This curious turn of events harbors some dark forebodings and perhaps might be further explored in the concluding volume.
On the Alathian side there are a few new faces that get a chance to showcase their views on the usage of magic and also further complicate the relationship and view between the two primary protagonists. Dev’s past life (acquaintances, relationships, etc) also plays a huge role in the events of this book and the readers will truly appreciate the insight they offer about Dev. I was also very impressed by the world setting and nuances to this world created by Courtney. Beginning from the phrases utilized by the characters to the theology presented as well the cultures described; this world is a very rich one in terms of world-building factors. I think the author can perhaps explore other corners and timelines of the world once this story is over and I would be the first in line to read any book featuring such.
On the pacing factor, things don’t look so rosy for the first hundred pages when the story is being set up. The story seems to be stuck in stasis a bit however things do pick up once the crew reaches Ninavel and things soon go from bad to worse with a couple of plot twists. The author has to be lauded for making this story extremely unpredictable, beginning from the direction of the story to the style presented as well as the end twists. Nothing happens as expected for the characters and the readers will get to experience this form of literary confusion as well. Courtney Schafer is something of an enigma in terms of her writing as she allows to the story to go haphazardly as per the character dictates and yet it feels like part of her overall story plan. This curious move with the story direction is something that might stump a few of the readers who are looking for the action-oriented adventure feel of her debut. I would caution them not to throw in the towel but give the story a try as once they reach the end; they will get a definite idea about where the story is heading and what the climax entails for Dev, Kiran and the rest.
The only drawback to this story is the slow pace of the story within the first hundred pages but after that it’s a very good story with the twists coming left, right & center, leaving the reader and protagonists completely bewildered. The other deterrent to this fine mix is a personal nitpick, in regards to the lack of a map. I always prefer a map and in this case one of Ninavel as well as the terrain around it, is something that I would really loved to see. Also I would have liked if a glossary about the cultures, theology and nations of the world was also presented.
CONCLUSION: Courtney Schafer takes her story in a slightly different direction whilst never compromising on the positives that made her debut such a stand out one. This book is another excellent book from this very talented lady and I for one can’t wait to see how it all goes down in The Labyrinth of Flame. I hope that the author continues her superb writing form, and surprises us all in the exciting climax to the Shattered Sigil series.

Fauji India| Updated:May 15, 2019, 2:54 pm IST
Four disabled Jawans at the Paraplegic Rehabilitation Center (PRC), Khadki in Pune received specialized wheelchairs through a monetary donation made by the Fauji Foundation of India (FFI) last week. The chairs manufactured by the Germany-based Ottobock company, were procured by the PRC Khadki after the Foundation had donated Rs. 1.92 lakh, as a part of its mandate to help disabled Veterans and military dependents.
The chairs were handed over to the Veterans, ex-Swr BN Kamble (7241258N, Remount & Veterinary Corps), ex-Naik Prakash L. (7780721H, Corps of Military Police), ex-Naik Jayaram G. Nair (15426442W, Army Medical Corps) and ex-Swr Prem Kumar Ale (7243486P, Remount & Veterinary Corps). All the above mentioned beneficiaries had sustained spinal cord injuries in road traffic accidents in the line of duty, leaving them 100% disabled in a paraplegic state.
FFI CEO, Veteran Capt Prasoon Kumar Srivastava and PRC, Khadki Medical Director Dr (Col) R. Mukherjee were present at the handing over ceremony. Capt Srivastava exhorted the Veterans to not lose hope in times of adversity and congratulated the professionalism and commitment of the team at PRC in looking after this vulnerable group.
One of the Ottobock wheelchairs that was procured with the monetary donation
The FFI is the first such organization to work amongst disabled Veterans and military dependents in a non-governmental realm. It is headed by an illustrious team of decorated military Veterans, with former IAF chief, Air Chief Marshal PV Naik and Wg Cdr Rakesh Sharma, the first Indian astronaut as it’s Patrons; former 15 Corps Commander Lt Gen Syed Ata Hasnain as its Mentor, followed by renowned strategic affairs expert Maj Maroof Raza and combat amputee and India’s first blade runner Maj DP Singh as its Advisors.
The PRC, Khadki was established in 1974 for providing physical, psychological and financial rehabilitation to 100% disabled paraplegic and quadriplegic Ex-Servicemen (ESM) of the three Armed Forces, who sustain spinal cord injuries in the line of duty. It is a charitable trust registered under the Bombay Public Trusts Act of 1860, and managed by a committee, where the General Officer Commanding-in-Chief of the Southern Command is it’s Chief Patron. This center is the largest of it’s kind in India and one of the largest in South East Asia, earning worldwide recognition for it’s standards. It can accommodate 117 residents (83 single and 34 married), of which 91 are presently under it’s care.

YouTube Wednesday: Beckah Shae, the artist that’s breathing new life into pop music
Home | YouTube Wednesday | YouTube Wednesday: Beckah Shae, the artist that’s breathing new life into pop music
Hello people of the internet!!! On today’s ‘YouTube Wednesday’ we’re going to discuss an AMAZING singer that you’re going to be absolutely OBSESSED with!!! If you haven’t heard of Beckah Shae then prepare to be introduced to your favorite new singer. With years of experience in the Contemporary Christian genre, Beckah’ reputation has gained her award nominations (including a very prestigious Dove Award nomination, which is the highest award a Christian artist can earn), as well as a guest track on multiaward winning artist TobyMac’s 2010 album ‘Tonight’. Recently Beckah has been making waves on her YouTube channel by posting Christian versions of popular Pop songs. Not only is this an innovative and genius spin on the concept of covers, but has also allowed Beckah to show off her extremely impressive vocal range to a larger audience. So I know what you’re thinking now. You want to get to the music right? Ok then let’s jump into it. Ready? Ok, let’s go!!!
The first song that we’re going to talk about is Beckah’s cover of Ed Sheeran’s song ‘Shape of You’, which was uploaded on April 20th, 2017 (you can check out the video below). This was the 1st cover of Beckah’s that I ever saw and honestly it hooked me right from the beginning. I love how she took a song about someone finding the love they crave in a person and instead turning into a song about finding love in Jesus. Although Ed’s version is great, I really like how Beckah took a club song and made it an AMAZING worship song. The next song we’re going to talk about is Beckah’s cover of ‘Sorry Not Sorry by Demi Lovato. This is the cover that will really show you just how much control and power Beckah’s voice has. This is definitely not an easy song to cover due to the incredibly high notes and long vocal runs the song has. This song definitely provides a round of vocal gymnastics for most vocalists however Beckah handles this challenge with ease. This is a cover that you will definitely want to blast from your car speakers this year!
Now we’re going to discuss Beckah’s cover of ‘Havana’ by Camilia Cabello. I thought that this was a really creative cover because of Beckah’s change of the word Havana for Hosanna which makes her transition of this track into a worship song appear flawless. It never does cease to amaze me just how creative Beckah is. The final song that we’re going to discuss is Beckah’s cover of ‘Perfect’ by Ed Sheeran, which features musician Damien Horne. This is an absolutely cover that is truly able to show how both artists are able to perfectly express the emotions and tenderness in this song and truly make a remarkable worship song out of it. Honestly I could sit here all day and explain why you should listen to Beckah’s music however her talent is something you must experience to fully understand, and recommend you do this immediately!
Keep up with everything Beckah is doing:

Monday Memos: 2015 iHeart Radio Music Awards
Home | Monday Memos | Monday Memos: 2015 iHeart Radio Music Awards
Hello people of the Internet!!! On today’s ‘Monday Memos’ we are going to recap the 2015 ‘iHeart Radio Music Awards’! This award show was full of talented winners, unforgettable performances, and a host (Jamie Fox) that definitely kept the audience’s attention. So if y’all are ready, let’s jump into the recap (in order to not keep y’all here reading for an hour, I selected just a few performances to discuss).
Winners (I didn’t include some of the winners because then this post would be A LOT longer):
Best Lyrics: Blank Space by Taylor Swift
Honestly we all saw this one coming. With an infectious beat and catchy lyrics, Taylor has had us singing along to this song for months.
Hip Hop/R&B Song of The Year: Don’t Tell ‘Em by Jeremih feat. YG
This is an example of another song that has an inescapable beat, which is exactly what landed it at the top of the charts for weeks after its’ release.
Innovator Award: Justin Timberlake
Do we really need to explain this one! With each passing year, Justin Timberlake continues to prove to us that he can release tracks that have us singing and dancing along instantly. He is also able to release music that is either completely new, and/or takes what everyone else is doing in a way that we never would have thought possible. Honestly this is the guy who made suit and ties cool again…enough said (below is a video of Justin’s speech that I found on NBC’s YouTube channel)..
Best New Artist: Sam Smith
With hits like Stay With Me and I’m Not The Only One, we have all been jamming to Sam Smith this past year. You gotta love a guy that can constantly make us cry and still fall more in love with him every time we hear his songs.
Best Collaboration: Bang Bang by Jessie J, Ariana Grande, & Nicki Minaj
You heard this song EVERYWHERE last year, and we’re still all singing along. But, when you get three superstars like Jessie J, Ariana Grande, & Nicki Minaj together honestly you can expect no less. We will definitely be dancing to this one throughout 2015.
Best Dance Song: Summer by Calvin Harris
This was the song that made us all wish that summer was a year around thing. Calvin Harris always seems to find a way of releasing songs that we just have to put on repeat. This should definitely be on your upcoming 2015 summer playlist.
Song of The Year: Shake It Off by Taylor Swift
Ok, again this was a song that we could not (and would not) stop playing because, well it’s just so awesome! This song has a fun beat, unforgettable lyrics, and even an awesome message about, well, shaking all the negative stuff off. Gotta love how Taylor knows exactly what we need to hear.
Artist of The Year: Taylor Swift
I think we covered why Taylor was so successful in 2014. Now the only question on our minds is how will she top it in 2015? We all know whatever she does, it will be awesome!
Performances (for this section I decided to pick 6 acts to talk to y’all about, because honestly if we try to talk about them all, we’ll be here all day):
Iggy Azalea & Jennifer Hudson:
Iggy Azalea & Jennifer Hudson performed their new song Trouble. The number was very elaborate, and began with Iggy and Jennifer emerging on to the stage, dressed like a prisoner (Iggy) & a cop (Jennifer). Iggy danced around the stage with her background dancers, until they eventually moved to another set that had pink prison phones, another set that looked like a public bathroom, and a final set that had a giant cage. It was a very fun performance, that was a great way to kick off the show.
Meghan Trainor:
Meghan Trainor performed her song Dear Future Husband later in the show, and really showed us just how captivating of a performer she is. This cool number began with Meghan on stage dressed in a black long pencil skirt, a coral blouse, and a white and black polka dot sailor hat. The nautical meets 1950s theme continued with Meghan’s large brass band (that played in the background throughout her performance), standing on a leveled band stands, which had neon wave decoration on the front of them. Her backup dancers finished off the fun theme with their black pants, suspenders, and straw hats. The performance was so much fun to watch from beginning to end, and proved just why Meghan’s natural star power has given her such a big year (below is a video of Meghan’s performance that I found on NBC’s YouTube channel).
Later on we had a breathtakingly beautiful performance from Best New Artist winner Sam Smith. Sam performed his song Lay Me Down. After all of the previous performances that got us up and dancing, this performance definitely slowed things down without losing our attention. The number had numerous candles all around the stage, and the lighting very dim, which added an intimate, acoustic feel to the performance. Of course Sam blew us away with his hauntingly beautiful voice, and once again proved that he is here to stay.
Jason Aldean:
Country Song of The Year winner Jason Aldean performed his award winning song Burnin’ It Down. This was another really fun performance that definitely brought the energy back up, after Sam Smith’s performance. The staging included A LOT of fire pits, which added to the whole country meets rock vibe the song has (below is a video of Jason’s performance that I found on NBC’s YouTube channel).
Madonna & Taylor Swift:
Next up we had a very cool performance from Madonna & Taylor Swift, who performed Madonna’s song Ghosttown. The song began with Madonna singing the song accompanied by a guitarist, while the dim lighting on stage “hid” her guitarist’s identity. The guitarist was later revealed to be Taylor. This was a really interesting number, that was very different than anything else we saw on the show that night. Both artists did a fantastic job (which isn’t surprising), and this was definitely a performance everyone on the Internet will continue to talk about for a while.
Jamie Foxx & Chris Brown:
Of course we couldn’t end this recap without talking about the last number of the night (which was performed by the host of the show Jamie Foxx). The two performed Jamie’s new single ‘You Changed Me’, which began with Jamie performing the song on the piano with dim stage lighting, before the beat picked up, and the stage lit up. The song was very well choreographed, and showed off both artists’ performance skills. This high energy performance was the perfect way to end the night, and definitely got the audience excited for Jamie’s upcoming album, which drops later this year (below is a video of Jamie & Chris’ performance that I found on NBC’s YouTube channel).

Carta Restaurante Indio Tailandés
Rediseño de la carta del restaurante indio tailandés Buddha Brasserie, en Muelle Uno de Málaga. La carta, partiendo de las pautas del cliente, unifica la gastronomía india y y la tailandesa.
Es un proyecto tanto de maquetación como de retoque fotográfico de cada uno de los platos. A parte de la edición de la carta del Buddha Brasserie, realicé una adaptación a cartel para llevar el menú a la parte exterior del restaurante y así, atraer al público.
¡Una experiencia que abre el apetito!

Thus, for many years, as the EU surges towards “ever closer union”, Britain has, in the words of the late Roy Jenkins, become an ever more “foot-dragging and complaining member”. On one hand, the pollsters report that up to half or more of British voters want us to leave. On the other, we have an establishment “consensus” between most of our politicians, media and big business, claiming that, although the EU in its present form is unsatisfactory and needs drastic “reform”, we must stay in for all the benefits we gain from trading with it, and because it gives us “influence”.

A law firm ventolin 100mcg prezzo Participants discussed how best to communicate the Committee’s approach to decisions about its asset purchase program and how to reduce uncertainty about how the Committee might adjust its purchases in response to economic developments. Importantly, participants wanted to emphasize that the pace, composition, and extent of asset purchases would continue to be dependent on the Committee’s assessment of the implications of incoming information for the economic outlook, as well as the cumulative progress toward the Committee’s economic objectives since the institution of the program last September. The discussion centered on the possibility of providing a rough description of the path for asset purchases that the Committee would anticipate implementing if economic conditions evolved in a manner broadly consistent with the outcomes the Committee saw as most likely. Several participants pointed to the challenge of making it clear that policymakers necessarily weigh a broad range of economic variables and longer-run economic trends in assessing the outlook. As an alternative, some suggested providing forward guidance about asset purchases based on numerical values for one or more economic variables, broadly akin to the Committee’s guidance regarding its target for the federal funds rate, arguing that such guidance would be more effective in reducing uncertainty and communicating the conditionality of policy. However, participants also noted possible disadvantages of such an approach, including that such forward guidance might inappropriately constrain the Committee’s decisionmaking, or that it might prove difficult to communicate to investors and the general public.

However, it is not unusual for battery consumption to be temporarily higher on new Kindles, especially if you have a large number of books. This is due to indexing, and you may find that subsequent charges last longer. It can also get stuck indexing a corrupt book file. One way to test this is to search for a non existent word (enter some random characters into the Search box); it will tell you that it can’t be found, along with a list of the books that are being indexed. Repeat this a day or so later and if you find the same book is still listed remove it from the Kindle and see if that makes a difference to battery performance.

And just as companies often fight with the public at large over how much pollution is acceptable, so too is there debate over how much unfairness is tolerable. Again, keep in mind that some pundits contend that point of view is nonsensical: any outcome of economic interaction is almost treated as if it were natural and is therefore assumed to be virtuous. Others point out how many actors have or are able to get the rules of the game rewritten in their favor, so looking at results is as important, if nothing else because too much unfairness undermines social stability (witness Arab Spring and our own increasingly frequent mass shootings).

FRANCE: Any silence justifies the lynching’: Media watchdog condemns ‘yellow vest’ attacks on journalists
Freedom of expression>
Post Category:Freedom of expression
(The Local) Reporters Without Borders on Sunday called on those who speak for France’s “yellow vest” protesters to condemn numerous attacks and threats against journalists across the country during the latest round of anti-government demonstrations.
“A turning point has been reached,” Christophe Deloire, secretary-general of the Paris-based media rights watchdog, told the BFM television channel.
“We are facing a very serious situation which is threatening to get worse,” he said, after reporters were beaten, kicked and threatened with rape during Saturday’s rallies.
“We call on the spokespersons of the ‘Yellow Vests’ to solemnly condemn increasing violence against journalists during demonstrations,” he tweeted.
While he paid tribute to protesters who helped protect journalists, he lashed out at those committing “unacceptable anti-democratic blackmail” who say to journalists that “if you do not cover events exactly as we see them… then we are entitled to assault you”.
We call on the spokespersons of the Yellow Vests to solemnly condemn increasing violences against journalists during demonstrations. Their silence would be a sort of justification of lynching, as it happened today in the city of Rouen. #PressFreedom https://t.co/TEnSNAeHED
— Christophe Deloire (@cdeloire) January 12, 2019
On Saturday protesters, some wearing yellow vests, surrounded and beat up a security officer accompanying LCI television reporters in the northern city of
Rouen, breaking his nose.
In the southern city of Toulon, two AFP video journalists were threatened by protesters and forced to find refuge in a restaurant.
#GiletsJaunes protest: #Pau
Protester beats a mainstream media journalistpic.twitter.com/2HZqQUGrz5
— Oh boy what a shot (@ohboywhatashot) January 13, 2019
In France’s second-largest city Marseille, the crowd hurled insults at a video journalist from France 3 television as well as two local photographers, preventing them from working.
In the country’s southeast, a journalist was kicked in the city of Pau, while a female reporter of the French newspaper La Depeche du Midi was threatened with rape in Toulouse.
Overnight Friday protesters had also blocked the printing centre of the L’Yonne Republicaine newspaper and prevented the newspaper la Voix du Nord from being distributed.
Interior Minister Christophe Castaner lashed out at the attacks on Twitter.
“In our democracy, the press is free. In our Republic, the freedom to inform is unalienable. Assaulting journalists is an attack on both,” he wrote.
On Saturday The Local spoke to many protesters in the central city of Bourges who explained their hatred of the media, blaming TV channels for not focusing on police violence and only concentrating on trouble caused by the yellow vests.
More than 84,000 people turned out for the ninth Saturday of demonstrations against President Emmanuel Macron since November, the interior ministry said, up from 50,000 the previous Saturday.
However, there was a marked decline in violence, despite hundreds of arrests and clashes with police in Paris and other cities.

Chronic-Dev Team Actively Working on Untethered Jailbreak for iOS 5
By Patrick Gumban last updated September 11, 2014
Unless you have been living in a cave with no electricity and access to the internet for the past few months, then you should be aware that Apple's update to its mobile operating system, iOS 5 is just around the corner. And when it comes to new major versions of iOS, one question pops into a jailbreak junky's mind. "Is it jailbreakable?" For the most part, yes. All iOS 5 betas have been jailbroken using popular jailbreak tools such as Redsn0w or Sn0wbreeze. But is it untethered? Well that's a different matter altogether.
While jailbreaks are possible with all versions of iOS 5 betas, they are only limited to tethered solutions. In case you don't know, tethered jailbreaks works similarly to untethered ones with regards to the benefits it can provide but with one major drawback. Each time your device shuts down or reboots, you have to plug it into your computer and boot it through a jailbreak program to bring it back to its jailbroken state. It is a major inconvenience and its pretty much the deciding factor why most people would prefer an untethered solution. If you are someone who's hoping for an untethered jailbreak for iOS 5, then we have some good news for you.
Famed jailbreak collective Chronic-Dev Team said that they are actively working on iOS 5. The entire team has supposedly found out that there are a couple of flaws and exploits in iOS 5 that could potentially advance the untethered jailbreak for the system. And of course, the team chooses to keep mum with regards to this particular matter and doesn't plan to release any sort of jailbreak tools for iOS 5 betas. Which of makes perfect sense because doing so will only tip off Apple and proceed to patch any exploits and flaws which renders the team's effort useless.
So if you have been craving for an untethered jailbreak for iOS 5 beta, then you are out of luck. The Chronic-Dev Team is most likely holding out until the final build of iOS 5 becomes publicly released before releasing a working untethered tool. So if you want to jailbreak your device under iOS 5, you will need to settle with either Redsn0w or Sn0wbreeze. But on the brighter side of things, at least there is some sort of assurance that untethered jailbreak is possible in iOS 5. And the wait shouldn't be that long since iOS 5 is rumored to hit Gold Master status next week.
iOS 5 is the highly anticipated update by the Cupertino giant to its long standing mobile operating system. What makes the iOS 5 highly anticipated is the fact that it offers more than 200 new features which includes a new notifications system called Notifications Center, enhanced Mobile Safari, Over-the-air updates, iMessage, deep Twitter integration and it will be integrated as well to Apple's upcoming cloud service, iCloud. Just a few more weeks folks. [via iPhoneItalia]

Indian Springs Baptist Church
A Pioneer Ministry since 1829
Baskets for Hospice House
Easter Services
Gospel Sings
Missions/Outreach
National Day of Prayer Service
RECORDINGS AUDIO / VISUAL
Service Times & Schedule
Please check back regularly for ongoing historical notes and stories. New items will be posted at the bottom of the page. Thank you for your interest in our history, We thank GOD for His continued blessings upon ALL who have been part of this special place in Florida history.
The present church building was constructed in 1854, however, Indian Springs Baptist Church began much earlier on July 18, 1829 about three miles closer to Lake Miccosukee. It has remained in continual existence for 189 years and is today the oldest surviving Baptist Church in Leon County and is the 5th oldest Baptist Church in the State of Florida.
At the present time we have several 4th and 5th generation families attending Indian Springs and we pray this community of God's love will continue through our children, their children and for many generations to come. Our desire is to minister to you and your loved ones and to help strengthen your faith in Jesus Christ. We pray this site is informative and inspirational and we look forward to hearing from you.
There were eleven people who qualified to become "charter members" of what they would modestly call "The Church of Jesus Christ at Indian Springs". Now that they decided on a name,they determined where to build their church house. It was to be on a rise of ground surrounded by thick undergrowth and tall live oaks draped by Spanish moss. They would call their church Indian Springs because of its proximity to the Spring head of Panther Creek, a favorite camping spot for Indian hunting parties a few years earlier, but now the site of a Christian meeting house.
**The first meeting house of the Indian Springs Baptist Church was made of logs, sawn and put together without nails in the typical fashion of pioneer Florida houses. Inside the building the men built crude slab benches with no backs on them. They built a stand for a pulpit and a table from which to serve the Lord's Supper. Unglazed windows protected the dim inner sanctum with sturdy shutters.
Pastors of Early Indian Springs Baptist Church were:
1829 - 1834 Theophilus Hardie
1834 - 1838 John B. Lacy
1839 Lacy; John B. Broome

THE CHARTER MEMBERS OF A PIONEER CHURCH
They were few in number--just eleven of them--yet, those who signed the church's charter on July 18, 1829, left an indelible impression upon the Miccosukee community and dictated its course for years to come. Those first members had come from all parts of the South, bringing with them a heterogeneous background of practice and ideology. Yet all shared in common a love for the church and a consent to live under its rigid discipline.
A few of the charter members would discover that Miccosukee was not to be their journey's end, and they would move away in search of greener pastures, leaving behind them only the record of their names. Others found their heart's desire in the splendor of Miccosukee lands and determined to lash themselves to the wheel of destiny in that part of the world, come what may. These would themselves become the shapes of destiny, perhaps too cruelly remembered by their children during days of Southern Reconstruction.
Early church books separated the names of male and female members by a line drawn down the middle of the page, sometimes even listing them in columns on separate pages. At Indian Springs the newly elected church clerk took his quill in hand and listed the names of the eleven charter members in columns, divided by their sex. Arthur Burney, Ebenezer Folsom, Joseph Miller, Amos Albritton, John Smith, Sarah Burney, Nancy Folsom, Elizabeth Miller, Nancy Hagen, Helen Farmer, Fanny Hay.
Arthur and Sarah Burney were the founding spirits of the Indian Springs church. Both had been born in North Carolina three years before the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Immigrating south in 1805, they lived in Twiggs County, Georgia, long enough to bear a daughter--a daughter destined to become the wife of Florida's first State Treasurer. The Burney's arrived in Leon County in 1826 and settled near Lake Miccosukee to become a well-to-do cotton planting family.
Sarah Burney, a deeply religious plantation lady who would bear Arthur nine children before her death at age 57,ascended the family carriage on a Sunday morning in the spring of 1828. The Burney family then joggled fourteen miles over soft clay backwoods roads and through dark, green-shaded lanes thickly laced overhead. They were bound for Col. Joseph White's Casa Bianca Plantation for Sunday Meeting. That stretch of piney woods between Lake Miccosukee and Casa Bianca had recently been a refuge for renegade Miccosukee Indians, and would again see their return to reap havoc in Florida's bloody encounter with the red savage.
Before that Sunday's sun could sink into the distant pines, Sarah Burney would be one of those twelve charter members of Ebenezer Baptist Church in Jefferson County. Col. White, who was soon to represent the Territory as a delegate in Congress, would convey two areas of his plantation land to the Trustees of Ebenezer church in September 1829. Their first pastor would be Benjamin Manning, Sr., whose grandson would become significant in the religious history of North Florida.

NHL Playoffs '13
Clobber Samson
"I don't believe in Astrology. The only stars I can blame for my failures are those that walk about the stage."
Author, Actor, Wit
As you may know, hockey players, as all athletes, are extremely superstitious. On winning streaks, some don't change their underwear, nor their route to the arena, their diet; all kinds of things. There are constant references to 'the hockey gods' and 'destiny' as well as the rather ridiculous statements that God directly intervened due to a heaven sent prayer before puck drop.
Everybody is looking for an angle, an edge; an explanation, or an excuse. "It just wasn't in the cards this year." What cards, well, Tarot Cards?
Even the most jaded atheist probably rubs a rabbit foot before heading out onto the pond.
I bet even ole Noel Coward snuck a peak at his daily horoscope before each opening night.
It does seem otherworldly at times how that puck hits the crossbar or ya shank one while staring an open net with the goalie flailing away, scrambling back into position.
Of course, goalies are the most superstitious of all athletes, well notwithstanding chess player Bobby Fischer who was a freakin' loony.
In that regard, the Stanley Cup winners get to go to the White House, a place to which Bobby never got invited, maybe cause he used to shout "Death to the US.”
"I want to see the US wiped out" is likely not going to get ya an afternoon tea and bickey with Obie, Mr. Fischer!
Of course, after 20 years of futility, there'd be nothing wrong in all Canadian hockey fans hoping - even praying, consulting their mountain guru - that the teams from the US get wiped out this year, so that Lord Stanley's Cup returns to its home and native land.
Is that likely to happen, I don’t know. We have four teams in the hunt this year! Call the gypsies! Get out the voodoo dolls and pins.
I must confess that I'm one of those people who do not discount the reading of the tea leaves, the advice of the I Ching, the astrological charts and all ways, eccentric or not, concerning the great mysteries being revealed by some unconscious dark matter psychic network.
"There are more things in heaven and earth Horatio than are dreamt in your philosophy." Hamlet, the Dane who pranced around the castle in his tights. Draw your own conclusions.
I'm sorry however to report that, as a mere mortal, I can't foresee the future. I'm no Merlin gazing through the mists of Avalon trying to get an early morning peak into Guinevere's boudoir. I have no Harry Potter magic wand powers. My hocus-pocus is out of focus
As such, rather than secretly sifting thru Brian Burke's entrails, I can only look at the standings and the stats, or as I opined to a friend, like that fella from Notre Dame Cathedral, I just get by with a hunch.
I can say is sometimes the magic works, sometimes I burn and bury the evidence. I did after-all pick Carolina to finish first in the East. So, with that caution, strike up the Van Morrison. Here we go into the mystic;.
Let’s start in the East.
N.Y. ISLANDERS versus PITTSBURGH PENGUINS
With or without the Kid, most people have penciled-in the Pens to represent the East in the Stanley Cup Final. Well, let's face it; they're a decent team, eh. This is the team nobody wanted to meet in the first round but someone had to and that task falls to the Islanders, who some will say are just happy to be in the play-offs after an overly long drought. Some are already handing out the doggie biscuits "roll over Isles, roll over.” I bet ya many pundits will call this one a sweep.
Pens have home-ice advantage;. maybe. The Islanders have the third best road record in the East. In fact, their problem is winning at home! Even if they steal a game in Pittsburgh, they may loss all home games. Please sports announcers, should the Isles be on the ropes on the island, please refrain from references to that old chestnut, "it looks like the roof is falling in on the Islanders.” For those who know the decrepit state of the arena there, that'd be like using the word 'Macbeth" when you're doing the, more appropriately entitled, "Scottish Play.” Not wise.
Okay so the Pens have added Morrow, Iggy, Jokinen, Murray and they were already loaded for bear. Doesn't anybody remember last year when the Islanders went toe-to-toe with Flyers and lost? I still say the Pens need to confirm that one of their goalies can stop the puck on a consistent basis in the play-offs. Might that be their Achilles heel? It might be but not enough to lose this series. The Islanders are a one-line team. Shutting down Tavares won't be easy and the Isles will have to find a way to stop a relentless Pens attack. Miracles do happen but not here. It won't be a sweep.
Pittsburgh in six.
N.Y. RANGERS versus WASHINGTON CAPITOLS
One thing most hockey people agree on is play-off success, while not assured, comes with how well a team is playing down the stretch. I'm not sure if this philosophy is true, but can one think of another series whereby both teams fit that description to a tee? The Caps have the best record in the East over the last ten games, at 8-1-1; the Rangers are 7-3. Add to that the fact that both teams were fighting deep into the night for a place in the final eight. Both teams then are as play-off ready as any team in either conference.
I had actually written-off the Caps about the mid-way point and it wasn't looking good for the Rangers pre-Trade Deadline Day. Highly paid Brad Richards for the blue shirts was having a miserable campaign while it looked like Ovie was less than a shadow of his former shadow of his former self. Well, quote the old saying that when the going gets tough, the tough get going. Ovie had some kind of hockey blood transfusion. With some re-alignment by Coach Oates, things fell into place and the rest is history. Long lamented as a lame duck GM, Glen Sather pulled the trigger on Marion Gaborik and got an under-achieving Derek Brassard, along with others from Columbus, in return, nabbed Ryan Clowe from the Sharks and likely told Torts to cool his negative vibes mantras and, again, the rest is history.
I have no idea who to favour here. One has to give the Rangers a slight edge due to an all-round better defence, play-off experience and King Henrik. For the Caps, I'd be concerned that Brooks Laich and Joel Ward are not available because close series, if not the whole enchilada, comes down to depth and particularly the all-important third line. Yet the Caps have that home-ice advantage and two good goalies. They also have a slightly better road record. Of course, someone could win four in a row but this one has seven games writ large! One dimension that may spell the difference here is how each team will handle any adversity. I fear that the Caps are more vulnerable in that regard. If the Rangers get a split in Washington, that could prove fatal. If the Caps go up two-to-zero, the Rangers will be more ho-hum. I'm going slightly towards that latter scenario.
Rangers in 7.
TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS versus BOSTON BRUINS
The Big Bad Bruins have owned the Leafs for quite some time. If there's one team that might match them hack for hack, face-wash to face-wash, it's the Leafs. This one could get ugly early and often. Though usually a pacifist, why does that word end in "fist,” my greatest hope for this series is to see Dion Phaneuf meet Brad Marchand, Matt Cooke's twin brother, at centre ice and beat the living shite out of each other every night after the anthems. Jaromir! Why Boston” You are not a goon! You don't belong! I could hope for Toronto. They're from Canada, even if they pretend to be from New York. Let's be polite. They deserve respect for getting there this year. No more Laff jokes please. Now, Toronto might want to show some respect in return and tell their stupid fans to stop boo-ing Alfie in his own building. You dead sperm cells make Philadelphia fans look like they come form the city of brotherly love. Okay, I digress.
Some pundits have noticed that Boston has looked a bit fatigued of late and may be ripe for the picking, maybe they're just hibernating. They will have to rely on Rask who has been terrific but then again this is his first year in the limelight. It might turn into the lemon light! The Leafs do have some guys who can put the put under the crossbar. The Leafs opted to stick with Reimer in nets. Once they did, Reimer looked like a Vezina Trophy contender most nights. Might he steal a game, the series, maybe. Not even Merlin could answer that one!
Winning in Boston is difficult. The Leafs might have better luck taking on the Celtics. On paper, the Bruins are too strong, in all areas and are a serious Stanley Cup contender. Get 'em early, get a split in Boston and ya never know. I cannot predict an upset here but one would not surprise me. Since either Ottawa or Montreal will not get to the second round, it would be nice to see the Leafs win. In that regard, I do sense that the team from Toronto are the Eastern dark horse. They could go out in four or they might just get on a roll. Like the Canucks and the Sharks out West, it all depends on what team decides to show up on any given night. Alas, despite their fading ways down the stretch, the Bruins should prevail. Ho-hum;.
Boston in six.
OTTAWA SENATORS versus MONTREAL CANADIANS
Say it isn’t so, Joe!
Obviously every one, everywhere, is singing the praises of the Ottawa Senators organization from the owner down to the Zamboni driver for even making it into the play-offs given the numerous injuries all year: remarkable, truly remarkable. As for the Habs, few picked them to finish in the dance as well. Here we are ready for the Via Rail series. Choo choo!
Not what I wanted, but as the Rolling Stones once opined ya can't always get what ya want. Now that Karlsson and Cowen are back, another miracle, along with Anderson and Michalek, this same team took the Rangers to seven games last year. It'd be nice for the Sens to have Space Cadet at Centre but that is not looking likely. Hopefully, Alfie will stay healthy and not get 'gooned' and then morph into Freddy Kreuger, at the Sens bench.
The Habs, especially Carey Price, have struggled of late, but they'll be ready to rock. Michael Ryder is a better fit than is Erik Cole. Halpern has a lot of experience, along with Moen. Are there two better-matched teams in the East? Both built for speed over size, both have three good lines and fairly comparable and competitive fourth lines. Andy can match Carey. EK versus PK. Beauty! This could be a dynamite six or seven game series. Don't forget to breathe and pee. I'm just gonna sit back and enjoy this one.
How do you pick one team over the other? Well, one factor will be penalties and penalty kills. Ottawa is extremely good at killing them, but not so good scoring when they have the man advantage. If the Sens can thwart the Habs d-men on the PP and pop a few when their up a man, they have more than a decent chance here. I'll go as far as to say that if Ottawa gets through to the next round, look out. Wait, I can say the same thing about the Habs. For me, Ottawa and Montreal are the only two Canadian teams, right now, who can bring home the silver bacon.
Here is the only omen I can see re the result. This is a second Seed versus a Seventh Seed match-up, the curse of finishing second. Au Revoir 'Na na na na" land. It’s just a hunch Quasimodo.
Ottawa in six.
Okay, hitch up the wagons Chester, we're traveling west.
MINNESOTA WILD versus CHICAGO BLACKHAWKS
Are the Wild another example in pro sports of the danger of trying to buy a winner? Suter, Parise and then Pominville. They've obviously made Minnesota a better team that last year's version. They made the play-offs for the first time in 5 years. Just get in baby! They finished, by a whisker, in eighth. They might like that position. It had some good karma last year for the Kings! Ottawa almost knocked off the Rangers in their opening round. The Kings ousted the Canucks mostly on two factors - Quick in nets and bulk and grit all over the ice. Being President's Trophy winner has its own historical baggage.
Minnesota has Backstrom; he’s a decent, sometimes brilliant goalie, but no Jonathan Quick. As for the President's Trophy winners, the Hawks, where's the weakness?
I must admit I was surprised at how many analysts, at the start of the season, picked the Hawks to win it all, or at least represent the West in the Stanley Cup, why, goal-tending. Crawford had a miserable play-off last year. Junkyard scraps and crazy glue holds Rayzor Emery together. Everyone figured the Hawks would upgrade by TDD. Not to be, why, both have been terrific. They won the Jennings Trophy. Whom do you start? The guy who calls you "sir.”
I will say that IF Columbus had notched the eight spot, I might give this one seven games, with a very possible upset. There will be no upset here. The only thing upsetting about this series is the Wild's uniforms. Anybody for a wild turkey shoot; please Minnesota, try something new!
Chicago in five.
DETROIT RED WINGS versus ANAHEIM DUCKS
If you don't think coaching matters, think again! How many pundits picked Anaheim to make the play-offs, let alone finish second in the conference? Okay, no hands up in the air on that one, Bruce Boudreau, the funny looking guy with the sometimes foul, but humorous, mouth got these guys organized and having fun again. Teemu Selanne and Sakic Koivu and other elder statesmen, Sheldon Souray has had a very good return to the NHL - have given the Ducks more than enough scoring. Gestalt and Perry are freshly minted players ready to rock. Add another team with two great goalies and watch out! Should we however be cautious and not so quick to write off the Red Wings?
Except for some long-time stars upfront, Datzuk and Zetterberg, the Wings have a weaker defence than past years, the understatement of the year, and must rely on Jimmy Howard stealing at least one or two games. Detroit is a smart management however. They've slowly rebuilt over the season and some of their youngsters as well as their second or third year guys have been playing with more purpose of late. Old warrior Johan Franzen aka 'The Mule" has, dare I say, got his ass in gear down the stretch. The Red Wings also come in having won four in a row to get this chance. Okay, so what's the scoop?
This is the most non-analytic choice of all. I love Teemu Selanne but I hate the Ducks. They're the Bruins of the West. I just hope they lose. There! Suck it up Burkie!
Detroit in seven.
L.A. KINGS versus ST. LOUIS BLUES
Or, if you prefer, WW3. I would guess that the rest of league is doing high-fives at the prospect of these two brutes banging the piss out of each other for seven games! I can assure you that the Canucks are one team that are thankful that they didn't have to meet either of these slugfests, in the first round. Yes, the Blues got trounced last year in the Kings rocket blast to the Cup. They'll be a little more prepared this time around. Hey, a little cheer for Jay Bouwmeester, who, by trade from Calgary, will be making his play-off debut.
One problem the Blues have going in is who will be their goalie? They have three to choose. Will the real Stanley Cup net-minder please show-up! The Kings have Quick again and if he falters, hello Bernier, equally capable of taking the Kings to the promised land. The Kings lost home-ice advantage to the Blues down the stretch. The Blues have a much better road record. They don't care where you are; they'll show up and whack ya till you cry "mercy!.” I was a little too harsh on Darryl Sutter last year. He's the guy in the encyclopedia where they talk about snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. Well, used to be; one sign that things aren't going well with the Blues will be the amount of smoke coming out of Ken Hitchcock's ears. I think the physical severity of this series will an effect on the ability of either team going deep. So, while I think the Kings will prevail, they will be damaged goods re making a run for an second cup.
Los Angeles in eight.
SAN JOSE SHARKS versus VANCOUVER CANUCKS
For the Canucks, maybe the best match-up going in. Well, maybe one can say the same for the Sharks.
How many Cups have these teams won in September? How many times have their names ended up on the silver mug at season's end? The C's went to the Cup Final two years ago and got satirized and sodomized by the Bruins. This is not the same team, meaning not as good. I don't think they shown, albeit partly due to injuries, that they're as good as last year's squad. Of course last year there was that goal-tending controversy while this year there's; that goal-tending controversy! The last few games, five plus million "my contract sucks" back-up Roberto Luongo has played due to a 'body' injury to Schneider. He played fairly well on Thursday and well for 50 minutes on Saturday before his blasting by the Oilers; five goals in less time than you need to boil an egg.
Well, come first game, we might finally have our projected starting line-up for the first time. How do you sell 'hope'? Apparently, not very well; seats in the lower bowl at $255 a crack are available in droves. The days of packing the arena may be waning. (You can get the same seats in Anaheim for $115.00). We all know that owners live for the play-offs. It's when they make their money back. Maybe the C's owner is hedging his bets. Get the money in the first two homes games cause this team finishes early, again.
Well, meet their 'nemesis' or, if you prefer, those bosom buddies at the art of failure: Jumbo Joe and Patrick Marleau, the proverbial twin killing! They wrote the manual on how not to win the play-offs, bad Karma? The Sharks have built-up enough bad karma that things are bound to change one of these years. Right?
Both teams have the same advantage. Nobody is expecting either of these teams to go deep, so have fun boys and don't cancel that June summer vacation. The Sharks are dynamite at home in the Shark Tank but not so good on the road. The Canucks are almost as good on home-ice and significantly better on the road but the Shark Tank is where Vancouver goalies go to die. The Canucks picked up Derek Roy, the Sharks Raffi Torres. The Canucks strengthened their front three lines. The Sharks put together Torres with Havlat and Scott Gomez. Logan Couture is on fire, the new leader of the Sharks. Neimi will likely get a Vezina Trophy nomination.
Schneider, if healthy, could be a huge difference. He is the Canucks MVP. If however Louie has to play, it is quite possible he could become the Conn Smythe winner OR equally possible to get a one-way ticket to Palookaville.
The Sharks coach said the team that will win the Cup is the team that comes together as a group and believes in themselves. One pundit in Vancouver has probably hit the nail on the head. The losing coach in this series will be looking for a job. Obviously I'm torn;. and certainly will be by many Canucks fans, not to mention some friends, but I don't like what I see and hear lately from the Canucks camp.
San Jose in six.

La Dispensa Calls Time On Ibiza 2017
Escrito en 11 Octubre 2017 .
The first offering from the AmarIbiza Group, La Dispensa captured the imagination of tourists and locals alike when it opened three seasons ago and has gone from strength to strength ever since. After its third, and most successful summer, the popular eatery will take a break from October 28, opening again on March 23 2018.
When you choose La Dispensa for your gastronomic adventure, you have four choices, the eatery is spread across four unique spaces in the heart of Dalt Vila. Each of the spaces has its own, stylish identity as well as menu – incorporating Spanish and Japanese cuisines – and all maintain the AmarIbiza Group philosophy. The beauty is you can, and we have, return on several occasions and never have the same experience. The one constant that does run through all is the quality of the food, the imaginative menu and the creativity of the magicians in the kitchen. You can also order from each menu, no matter which venue you choose.
It has been a busy summer for the team at AmarIbiza Group; maintaining one restaurant that has managed to capture the attention can be demanding, adding a second gastronomic proposal offers a challenge but unleashing three brand new food concepts while building on the reputation of the existing one is almost impossible. As the season draws to a close, each of the new eateries has enjoyed a successful summer, and La Dispensa can look back on its best summer yet! While some of the new eateries will remain open, it’s time for La Dispensa to take its leave and Saturday October 28 is the final night. If you haven’t had the pleasure before, this is a must-visit. It makes for the perfect night out, stroll around the Dalt Vila and work up an appetite before dinner but make sure you book in advance, it’s no longer the best kept secret! La Dispensa will return March 23 with a new gastronomic proposal that values tradition but is not afraid to adopt some modern touches.

President Rouhani: Trump ‘a Big Terrorist of History’
TEHRAN (Dispatches) – President Hassan Rouhani said Wednesday President Donald Trump is wrapping up his tenure with humiliation and scandal, while the Iranian nation is prevailing over the U.S. maximum pressure and its economic terrorism.
Rouhani told a cabinet meeting that Trump’s final days in office mark an end to bullying, racism and lawlessness in the world.
"The disgraceful and scandalous end of the U.S. administration … indicates that bullying, racism, and breaking the law will not come to a good end,” he said.
The president praised the Iranian people for their patience and resistance against Trump whom he called the "big terrorist of history”, saying the U.S. administration finalizes a rule in humiliation.
The president pointed to the economic indicators which show Iran’s economy is recovering. "All of these facts indicate that the U.S. policy of maximum pressure and economic terrorism have ended in utter failure.”
"While the Iranian people feel victorious against this pressure and terrorism, the American people witness great failure in their social and political lives and a huge rift inside the U.S.”
The masterminds of the maximum pressure policy on Iran are being ousted and their political life is transpiring forever, Rouhani said.
"A president who lacked political understanding took the helm of a country, and was accompanied by a stupid foreign minister and an ignorant and radical national security advisor. He handled everything with his gambling and business-oriented mind, and we finally saw how his term ended,” Rouhani said.
"No one could believe this lawbreaker would order riot against his own nation, his own security, and the country’s legislature, and provoke people against the very democracy they believe in,” he added.
Five people were killed last Wednesday after Trump’s supporters stormed the Capitol building to protest the ceremonial counting of the electoral votes that would confirm President-elect Joe Biden’s election victory.

Quote from pope
I also don`t have a problem with Stefana starting....She totally deserves it. That`s not the problem, and I like said before I really don`t believe this was Stevanovic`s problem.
I still believe he did the same exactly thing he did with Brakocevic. OKKKK....We don`t know certainly if Terzic talked with Jovana or not....but if he did this to Brakocevic...well he can do it to anyone.
And why he did not talk with Brakocevic and let her know the potential he was seeing in Boskovic and he would take a chance with her? Veljkovic has been there for a long time, but it does not make any different.
There`s not a reason to NOT talk with a player and let her know where she stands, and let her know what she needs to do to improve or be a starter, like it was mentioned, some coaches have done it before.
Stevanovic probably felt confused and had no idea what was going on as she was kept in the dark. I would feel confused if that happened with me.
What exactly do you think he has done to Brakocevic? What makes you think Terzic never said anything to her as far as why he played Boskovic during WCh 2014?

As far as I remember, Brakocevic was injured in 2014 and though she was playing again by the WCH, she was far from her best shape and couldn’t even score against Canada, so it’s not quite the same situation. I know Brakocevic wanted to play but I’m pretty sure the main reason she was dropped was due to fitness concerns so it wouldn’t need much explaining from Terzic, especially when Boskovic came in and impressed.
Quote from Sisko95
Exactly. Pretty straight-forward, but it seems not to pope. Perhaps he knows something more...
Anyway, I do recall Brako being bitter about having to play reserve to a 17 year-old kid, and making some cryptic remark about "no longer being able to fight against windmills" (loose translation) but it was pretty clear she was not well, her claims to the contrary notwithstanding.
Quote from Janko
If I remember correctly Joana has posted some interviews with Brakocevic and Boskovic, and both have said they did not know Boskovic was gonna start at 2014 WCH. In fact Boskovic said she only found out she was gonna start right before the game against Turkey started.
Is not like he did anything terrible. But he could have talked with Brakocevic and let her know what his plans were. Imagine how embarrassing must have been for her, she probably felt totally blinded side by him.
at least the problem is truly with Terzic only....... Jovana,Brankica,Bojana,Milena,Maja having dinner together.
Screenshot 2019-11-21 at 9.12.27 PM.png
Yeah, and? You do realise that is entirely consistent with the explanation we provided, right? They did not know right up until the first game whether and how much Jovana will be really recovered (as opposed to how much she SAYS she were recovered), so they waited until the last moment for the final decision on who will play as starting opp. It's entirely your assumption that Terzic must have never discussed things with Jovana, as opposed to the much more realistic option that even though it was a logical decision that need not any special explanation, Brakocevic still felt bitter due to the inherent damage to her ego of having a 17 year-old play instead of her on such a big stage as World Championship, regardless of how much she herself was not really physically ready (you need to keep in mind that this happened after a stretch of some 4 years where she was one of the most dominant players in the world, a superstar winning MVPs left and right).
I mean, we are talking about the same player that, Olympic Games notwithstanding, deemed it beneath her to sit on the bench on that NT ever again, even for a clearly superior player.

Katarina's interview for ŁKS Łódź's website•
Is it difficult to go to another country at the age of 20 and play volleyball there? - Yes, it's not easy. I went to another country for so long for the first time and it is difficult for me. I lived with my parents in Belgrade, and here I have to deal with myself. I live alone, everything has to be done by me, even cooking, which I didn't do before and had to learn. It was particularly difficult at the beginning, now it is much easier. It's a bit of a life lesson, everyone who goes to another country gains a lot of experience, everything is new.
And what do you see the differences between volleyball in Serbia and volleyball in Poland? - First of all, there is a much stronger league in Poland. In Serbia, maybe two or three teams play at this level. However, volleyball itself is the same as volleyball. Tactics and training are not much different.
You play in a team that has a strong group of supporters ... - It's true, I already love Polish supporters, especially supporters of ŁKS. In Serbia, Belgrade, however, we also have such supporters, there are two groups - supporters of Partizan and supporters ofCrveny Zvezda, who are also amazing. ŁKS fans are great support and supporters.
What do you think ŁKS can do this season? - I believe that we will play in the finals for medals in Polish Women's Volleyball League. In the Champions League we can afford to reach the quarter-finals. We have an interesting group, team from Novara is definitely the best, but both German champion and Chimik are teams within our reach.
Sometime in the next 2 weeks Olympic Committee of Serbia will choose the best athletes of the year, Boskovic will be one of the main candidates for Sportswoman of the Year, and will have a chance to "defend" her title from last year. In my view, her biggest 2 rivals will be Ivana Spanovic (long jump) and Tijana Bogdanovic (taekwondo), and unfortunately, I think Ivana will most likely win it this year (for the 3rd time), even though she shouldn't. Yeah, she won the gold in Indoor European Championship, but that's kinda the bare minimum that was (realistically) expected of her at the beginning of the year. And while it is true that injury at the worst possible time played a role in not achieving additional great results, that doesn't change the fact her year was kinda underwhelming.
Tl;dr: Boskovic should win the award for the Serbian female athlete of the year, but probably won't.
On the positive side, volleyball NT is almost certain to win the award Women's Team of The Year (for the 4th year in a row and 10th time in the last 14 years), and Terzic is perhaps the main favourite to win Coach of The Year for the 2nd year in a row.

I watched todays match Zeleznicar vs Jedinstvo SP and i am curious how is Zelezicnar enlist chinese player from Shandong Ruhan Sun. For Serbian league standard she is very solid(judge by just today match)and this is very interesting job by scout or by anyone who is meriterious for this transfer, especially when we knows that Serbian team does not have a lot of money and many of them plays with youth.(Zeleznicar is maybe the only one( when we look all starting players) which does not played with youth but all of their players or even all is ex promising players or just an average).

Sun Ru-han is older than two MBs of Shandong VC, Zhang Qian and Yang Han-yu. Zhang and Yang are both MBs of Chinese NT in theory though Zhang Qian was injured for a long time. Sun Ru-han isn't weaker but if she didn't get the more chance, she should look for the better outlet.

Absolute domination of volleyball this year in Serbia. Olympic Committee has voted Tijana Boskovic Sportswoman of The Year second year in a row, while the two NTs won Men's Team of The Year and Women's Team of The Year, respectively. Lastly, Slobodan Kovac won Coach of The Year (Terzic won it last year).
This is the 4th time that a male team is winning this award, while girls are absolutely dominating in this regard, winning 10 times in the last 14 years.
Also, CEV President Aleksandar Boričić received a lifetime achievement award.
Two little bit longer interviews with Boskovic, the first one is not so volleyball oriented, which we rarely get from her

Topic that has been discussed on this forum:
"This is my fifth year in Eczacibasi, the club that gave me the best conditions to develop. In the past years we didn't manage to win Turkish league and CL, but i hope that this season will be the most successful untill now and that we will be happy with the end result. I'm not thinking about changing the club, with Eczacibasi i have a valid contract for the next season too and i will give my best to keep improving."
She seems happy in Ecz even though they are not winning.

Yea as she says; the conditions are great, they offer her a lot and hand her a lot of priviliges. EczV is basically babying Tijana the majority of the time, esp. in the beginning. Not to mention that she is comfortable now with her teammates and the city, Tijana is still very young. Changing a team where she will never hold a similar position at this stage of her carreer is imo also not the best move. EczV just needs to drop Motta next season and get an actual MB, they just need to build a great team with chemistry one time, I'm sure it will happen sooner or later.
It's like looking to replace diamond with some silver
Yep, she signed a 3-year contract last year. Unfortunately, from the bits and pieces I've heard, not only did she sign a 3 year contract instead of 2 (which is almost always a bad decision financially and career-wise in volleyball, at least for a star), but she also supposedly did it at a discount, as if the club was doing her the favour of signing her for that long so she returns the favour of agreeing to lesser salary! If that is true...as good as she is at volleyball court, she is as naive as a child business-wise (and her financial advisor is robbing her blind by colluding with the club against her best interests).
However, that may be an unfounded rumour (and I hope it is)
Egonu declined Monza`s 750K, and signed with Conegliano for 500K.... It is very common in many sports for players to take a pay cut in order to sign or re-sign with a team that is a actual tittle contender.
Even if she agreed to a lesser salary, that is still probably a salary that only Vakifbank can match. In Turkey mostly clubs are super close by each other, which means there`s not a lot of travelling. And mostly teams in Turkey do change their roster every season basically, which means she does not get to used to play against the same players every season..... I don`t see why she would NOT resign a 3 year with them.
And they were the club that took her when she was still a upcoming player. So I`m very glad to hear that she shows so much appreciation and respect for them.
BUT....she should certainly have a talk with the management and ask for them to get ride of Motta and sign a good setter. Gamze was just fine, until Motta decided to screw everything up. WIth Gamze they could still win Turkish League, but there`s no way they will CL with that other terrible setter. Vitra should sign Cansu next season.

Players not necessarily have only one criteria (money) while signing contracts. There are not many clubs who can offer same working environment to her. To me it makes sense to sign a long contract. It is a win-win to both sides
I loved to share with you guys one video, best of moments of Jovana Mirosavljevic from today matches between Jedinstvo and Vizura in 15th round of the Serbian Super league. She is 19 years old, amazing girl and big potential. She must to train and to learn a lot more, also she does not have a lot of cm but with explosivity and her amazing energy on court i hope that she will be successful and one of the most important grummet in Serbian national team.
* i am sorry because of low quality of the video but youtube was the only way to share with you this video, originaly is way better....

Thank YOU for an incredible year!
JP Friends & Family!
As our 25th year draws to a close and we reflect back on an epic 2014, we wanted to take a moment to say thank you for making all of this a reality. Without you, none of this is possible and we are incredibly grateful to you for your belief, your support and your willingness to spread Jackopierce, our music, our Destination Shows, our wine all over the world.
It's amazing to us that as we just wrapped our 25th year we are still able to do things that we've never done before - all because of you!
We had some major milestones this year - THANK YOU!
Here's a few of the highlights:
-We launched our first International Destination Show to San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. It was just amazing and maybe our favorite Destination yet. But don't worry, if you missed this year, we'll be going back April 9, 2016. Stay tuned!
-We released our first-ever multi-tracked, full band and acoustic duo live album, "Live 25" with a brand new song chronicling our 25 years together (and apart) making music called, "This is Our Time." The album was recorded at our "show of a lifetime" at the Winspear Opera House in Dallas with 2,200 of our closest friends!
-We launched our wine, Weather Pinot Noir, and had an incredible time hanging out in Napa during our Destination Show. Weather has completely exceed our expectations and is selling really well.
-We played with the Dallas Symphony Orchestra in the super-cool new Klyde Warren Park in front of 4,000 of our best friends. Oh what a night!
-For years we've played the awesome City Winery in NYC and this year we had the privilege of playing their new venues in Nashville and Chicago! Thanks for the sell outs!! We can't tell you how good that makes us feel when we show up and the show has been sold out in advance! Wow! Thanks again!
-We had a blast at what has now become an annual event: Martha's Vineyard Destination Show. We hope you'll join us August 7, 2015.
-We had some great openers this year that you should know about: Erin Ivey and Emily Hearn, and we've shared stages with a bunch of our friends including Andrew Ripp, Dave Barnes, Kylie Rae Harris, Michaelis, John Christopher Davis, and Jason Isbell.
-We also played a bunch of really fun private events ranging from birthday celebrations to epic corporate events. The highlight had to be playing in Vegas at the MGM Grand Arena, on the biggest stage and set we've ever seen, in front of 2,000 Auto Trader employees alongside Bo & Luke Duke of "Dukes of Hazard." A major highlight of our career. So much fun! Interested in having JP for a private event? We love em! Hit up our friendly and handsome manager, David, and he'll take care of it.
We hope to start working on a new album soon and will let you know about upcoming dates as soon as they become available.
Again and again thank you SO much for allowing us to do what we do! We love making music and playing it for you!
Have an incredible 2015 and see you soon!
Jack & Cary

Vygon launches b-card, an innovative device that combines continuous chest compressions and dynamic oxygenation for CPR
A groundbreaking device designed by anaesthesia specialist Dr Boussignac revolutionises the management of cardiac arrest by emergency first responders. This universal resuscitation device for first aiders or physicians can be used with a face mask, supraglottic airway device or endotracheal tube.
Vygon, the single-use medical devices group, announced in September the commercial launch of the b-card® (Boussignac Cardiac Arrest Resuscitation Device), a non-invasive ventilation system providing continuous oxygen delivery during CPR (CardioPulmonary Resuscitation). The device ensures dynamic alveolar ventilation without the need to pause chest compressions.
Recent international scientific recommendations advocate chest compressions should not be interrupted when treating a cardiac arrest, in order to ensure continuous blood flow.[1]. However, it is still desirable to provide oxygen[2]. Therefore emergency responders currently alternate between chest compressions and ventilation at a rate of 30 compressions to two rescue breaths.
The new b-card device eliminates the need to stop compressions to ventilate. Connected to a source delivering oxygen at a flow rate of 15L/minute, the b-card generates a virtual valve. This acts as the ‘heart’ of the device, optimising the pressure created during the chest compression and decompression phases of resuscitation. Each chest compression has a dual action: helping to expel the air contained in the alveolae and simultaneously pumping blood from the chest cavity into general circulation. In the decompression phase, the virtual valve creates negative intrathoracic pressure, optimising gas exchange in the alveoli. At the same time, it improves venous return towards the heart. This increases the blood flow ejected from the heart during the next chest compression. B-card has the dual effect of optimising hemodynamics and ventilation when lifesavers are performing chest compressions.
“As a simple device requiring minimal training, it can be used by first responders, allowing them to treat cardiac arrests more effectively,” said Michel Blanche, chief physician with the emergency services for France’s Loire-Atlantique region.
“Working in partnership with Dr Boussignac, former anaesthetist and inventor of several ventilation devices, Vygon Group is proud to have developed a device that could revolutionise the management of cardiorespiratory arrest,” said Stéphane Regnault, chairman of Vygon’s management board. “The device is being successfully used by a number of pre-hospital medical teams in France and elsewhere. It includes the option to use it with a face mask and can be fitted by professional emergency first responders – emergency workers, qualified first aiders and nurses – who often provide the first-line response to an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.”

Hina K. Patel v. New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission
A-2911-07T1
New Jersey's unsafe driving statute, N.J.S.A. 39:4-97.2,
provides that the Motor Vehicle Commission shall assess the
driver points for a third or subsequent offense. The statute
also affords relief from the assessment of points when an
offense is committed more than five years after a prior offense.
In this appeal, we have construed that language to apply only to
offenses that occur after the third offense.

Lawrence DeNike v. Michael Cupo
A-61-07
Judges must avoid actual conflicts as well as the appearance of
impropriety to promote confidence in the integrity and
impartiality of the Judiciary. Unfortunately, the negotiations
between trial judge and lawyer in this case created an
appearance of impropriety. Stated simply, the conduct here fell
short of the high standards demanded of judges and fellow
members of the legal profession and had the capacity to erode
the public’s trust. Because any lesser remedy would allow
reasonable doubts to linger about the fairness of the outcome of
the case, the judgment of the Appellate Division is reversed and the matter is remanded for a new trial.
Phoenix Funding, Inc. v. Shartane and Robert Krute
This case involves the Tax Sale Law, N.J.S.A. 54:5-1 to -
137. We consider whether a person who acquires an interest in
property that is the subject of an action to foreclose a tax
sale certificate may redeem without intervening in the
proceeding if the person has a "close personal relationship"
with the property owner. We conclude that N.J.S.A. 54:5-98,
N.J.S.A. 54:5-89.1 and Rule 4:64-6(b) require intervention.
State of New Jersey v. Anthony Alexander
In this appeal, the court reversed the denial of postconviction
relief because trial counsel's representation of both
defendant and another individual, who allegedly participated in
crimes with defendant, placed counsel in a per se conflict of
interest. The court held that because the conflict arose
between the entry of a guilty plea but before sentencing, there
was no cause to disturb the plea, but that defendant was
entitled to be resentenced following a determination of what
might have occurred had defendant sought to cooperate with law
enforcement regarding his alleged cohort.
Francis and Aniela Sullivan v. Coverings & Installation, Inc., Frank F. Setola, and Cheryl A. Setola
We held that plaintiffs were not required to establish
"good cause" for reinstatement of their complaint, which was
dismissed without prejudice for failure to permit defendants to
inspect their residence. Rule 4:23-5(a)(1) expressly permits a
party whose complaint has been dismissed without prejudice to
move, on notice, to vacate the dismissal at any time before the
entry of an order dismissing the complaint with prejudice. Because defendants never moved to dismiss the complaint with prejudice under Rule 4:23-5(a)(2), plaintiffs' complaint remained dismissed without prejudice. Consequently, when
plaintiffs moved to reinstate their complaint nearly one year
later, the court's inquiry was limited to determining whether
(1) the discovery violation resulting in the dismissal had been
cured, (2) the restoration fee had been paid, and (3) what, if
any, sanctions, counsel fees and costs, or both, should be
imposed as a condition of restoration.
Randy Senna V. Walter Florimont, et al.
(A-35-07)
Based on the content, form, and context of the challenged
speech, including the identity of the speaker and the intended
audience, the speech involved here did not touch on matters of
public concern. The false and defamatory statements of
defendants’ employees, impugning the honesty of a business
competitor, fall into the category of commercial speech that is
not entitled to heightened protection. The negligence standard
is the appropriate standard of care.
Zagami, LLC, d/b/a The Landmark American Tap and Grill, d/b/a Landmark Liquors v. Mary Ann Cottrell, et. al.
A-3948-07T3/A-4227-07T3 (consolidated)
We held that the defendants in this defamation action
brought by the owner of a bar are accorded absolute immunity,
under the litigation privilege, for oral and written statements
they made objecting to, and in connection with, the plaintiff's
municipal liquor license renewal proceeding. In extending the
privilege to these allegedly defaming defendants, we found the
administrative proceeding with its attendant safeguards of
notice, hearing, neutrality, availability of review on appeal,
and presence of retarding influences, sufficiently similar to
strictly judicial proceedings so as to protect the allegedly
defamed party from false or malicious charges and therefore
accord participants therein the same mantle of protection.

The high fat diet induced up-regulation of miR-421, miR-702 and miR-703, in these mouse mo dels was not reflected in the mesenchymal stem cell mo del of adipogenesis as these miRNAs were down-regulated during in vitro adipocyte differentiation. [score:7]
Among those, let-7i, miR-146b, miR-152, miR-155, miR-214*, miR-299 and miR-411 are similarly regulated in differentiating MSCs, whereas miR-421, miR-702 and miR-703 were oppositely regulated in MSCs. [score:3]
However, the fact miR702 and miR155 were co-ordinately regulated in the DIO and genetic obesity mo dels, despite the differences in genetic background, provides additional robust evidence for the generality of these changes in adipose tissue in response to obesity. [score:2]

Mystery of the Megaliths Solved
(a.k.a.. THE WORLD’S OLDEST & MOST SECRET SCIENCE REVEALED)
by Patrick Cain
Long before the heavens were worshipped, the stars were studied. More precisely, astronomy predated religion. Hence, stellar science, not superstitious beliefs, formed the core of ancient civilization. Technically speaking, sun temples are solar observatories. Obelisks are sundials. Pyramids are star clocks. Stonehenge is a lunar/solar computer.
Stonehenge, UK
The relatively new science of Archaeoastronomy has shown megalithic structures to be astronomically oriented/connected. All archaeoastronomical sites are primitive yet precise celestial observatories. Even sacred sites like the Oracle at Delphi, the Vatican and the Kaaba are celestially linked. So why were the ancients so interested in stellar science?
Because it let them calculate the cosmos – establish natural order out of universal chaos. The earth could be measured and mapped (globe flattened via longitude & latitude) from the heavens. The seasons predicted (natural cycles timed), etc. Celestial science (measuring movements & angles of heavenly bodies) also enabled the ancients to build a global stellar navigation and universal time-keeping network – a global positioning system, or GPS (celestial bodies were natural satellites).
This was the secret science of Egyptian priests (passed down by the original architects of civilization). It was the lost treasure of the Templars (global navigators), the magical craft (sacred geometry) of Masonry and the mystery behind the Mayan cosmic calendar (galactic cycle) cult. This ancient science laid the foundation for a prehistoric global civilization – the fabled Atlantean Empire in all her glory, which later degenerated into a maritime monopoly of slavers & traders (‘The sun never sat on the British Isles’).
When this ancient kingdom of international commerce, colonial outposts & worldwide warfare finally disintegrated (due in part to natural cataclysms), widespread use of its technical knowledge also perished. Non-technical peoples symbolically adopted fragments of it into their own cultures. In short, the golden age was gone.
After the scientific basis was lost, stargazing took on a whole new meaning. Speculative arts and cosmic cults were born. Superstitious customs (religions) arose from the ashes of a dead/lost science. Resurrection replaced reincarnation. The first dark age entered the world.
In Egypt, the cult of Horus flourished. Dividing the times (divining the heavens – determining the seasons) for planting and harvesting, and scoping the horizon (zone of Horus) for time-keeping, developed into casting Horuscopes and making astrological charts (abominations that the elders of Israel committed). Horology is the science of time-keeping. Horticulture is the study of growing plants.
Astrotheology (masonic theology) came into being. The gospel story is really a celestial allegory – an astronomical tale. Is-Ra-El and Sol-Om-On are actually compound words (astrotheological designations). The twelve tribes of Israel, twelve disciples of Christ and twelve knights of the Round Table correspond to the twelve signs of the zodiac (Ezekiel’s ‘wheel within a wheel’ was a zodiacal chart). Yes, it’s all astrotheology (cosmomythology).
Even astrology (from astro-logos – Word of God, Voice of the Heavens, Harmony of the Spheres) warped into a mystical practice. Skywalkers (comets) became omens/portends. Originally, astrology was the study of celestial dynamics, of how cosmic phenomena affected/influenced terrestrial life.
Also relevant is the fact that women, not men, were the primary surveyors of the skies (calculators of astronomical data). History makers (patriarchal founders) converted female Chaldean astologers/ astonomers into Babylonian wise men. According to the historian Pliny, mathematics (celestial calculations) was traditionally the business of women. The term mathesis meant “the learning” – literally, “mother wisdom.” The thirteen month (moon/lunar cycle) calendar was replaced by the twelve month solar calendar. The sun gods (Christ & Chrishna) came to rule the world.
A Celtic cross is strikingly similar in appearance to a mariner’s astrolabe.

Interestingly, two key religious icons bear uncanny resemblance to two celestial measuring devices. A Celtic cross is strikingly similar in appearance to a mariner’s astrolabe. A Christian cross looks remarkably like an ancient astronomer’s cross-staff. Is this simply a coincidence?

Brotherhood of the Sun
Brotherhood of the Sun is not another templar tale or masonic fabrication. It is an intelligent conspiracy-thriller with profound religious and historical implications.
Brotherhood of the Sun penetrates the dense fog of speculative conspiracy literature and exposes the gospel truth. It cuts through literary artifice (Priory of Sion, Magadelene myth, et. al.) with razor sharp logic (solid historical facts) and weaves together an intriguing story chock-full of myth-shattering realizations -- like Masonry's and Christianity's solar foundation.
Novel insights include: - The gospel story is an astronomical tale (celestial myth). - The Holy Bible is a Sun Book (Helios Biblios). - Is-Ra-El and Sol-Om-On are astrotheological designations. - The 12 tribes of Israel and 12 disciples of Jesus represent the 12 signs of the zodiac. - The Celtic cross was derived from a mariner's astrolabe. - The Christian cross came from an astronomer's cross-staff. - Archaeoastronomical sites, like Stonehenge and the Pyramids, were part of a global celestial navigation and universal time-keeping network. - The Roman Empire stemmed from Rama's Empire. - Rome was founded on Rama's birthday -- April, 753 B.C. - The Brahman priesthood created the Chrishna legend. - The Roman aristocracy concocted the Christ myth. - The Druidic Hesus and Hindu Chrishna were fused into a supreme solar diety, Jesus Christ -- Sun of God. - The Atlantean civilization was a prehistoric global maritime monopoly and colonial empire. - Plato's Republic inspired Bacon's Atlantis, which, along with Virgil's Aeneid, became America's blueprint.
An important distinction and startling revelation that sets this novel apart from others of this genre is that it posits Jesus Christ was neither human or divine, but rather pure myth. While others regard the gospel's god-man as a historical personage, Brotherhood of the Sun leads readers to the inescapable conclusion that Christianity's supernatural savior never even existed -- except in the imaginations of the clever cosmomythologists who concocted him and the superstitious masses who believed them.
In short, Brotherhood of the Sun leapfrogs current historical-conspiracy works as well as upcoming Templar/Masonic/Illuminati fables.

Tashkent – the capital of the Republic of Uzbekistan
Geographic coordinates – 41 ° 18’00 “N 69 ° 16’00” E
Territory – 334.8 km2
Population – 3 million
Altitude – 475 m
Tashkent, the capital city of the Republic of Uzbekistan – the large economic, political, scientific and cultural center of Central Asia.
The city is located in a northeast part of the Republic, in a foothill part western Tian-Shan, in a river Chirchik valley, at height of 440-480 m above sea level.
The history of Tashkent totals more than 2500. The history of the city began from the small settlement of juice (the VI-III centuries BC) assume. For the long history the city was called differently – as Euny, Chach, Shash-Tep, Binkent, Tashkent.
In the I-IV centuries Chach was a part of the Kushansky kingdom. In the V century the city was grasped by eftalits created the huge power in the territory of all Central Asia, and in the 6th century it appeared under the influence of Turkic kaganat. At this time begins formation of Turkic language at the people of this edge.
At the beginning of the VIII century the Arab armies passed Amu Darya and began a gain of Central Asia. In the beginning were grasped Bukhara, Samarkand, and in 716 g – Chach (Tashkent). The population of Chach leaves the city devastated by Arabs, and creates the new city, but not on ruins, and in 4-5 km to the northwest from former, on the bank of Boz-su canal.
At this time, on the territory of Central Asia extend Islam religion, the Arab writing and culture. From IX century the city strongly located in the center of an “old” part of modern Tashkent and is called as the Arab name “Binkent” (i.e. the main town of area). And this period, the IX-X centuries, was really «a gold eyelid» in the history of economic, and especially, cultural development of the region called the period of «the Muslim Renaissance».
At this time in the city crafts, potter’s and glass-blowing business, processing of metals, fabrics, skin, a tree develop. In the city numerous caravanserais in which the caravans going on «A great Silk way» stopped were located. Settling down on a transit trading way, Binkent wasn’t simply transit point, but also itself made and exported the goods. Since the end of the X-th century the city is a part of the Karakhanids state.
For the first time the name “Tashkent” meets in the XI century in Biruni and Mahmoud Kashgari’s works. Tashkent in transfer means «the stone city».
In 1219 (XIII century) as a result of invasion of Chingiz hana, the city passed to Mongols. All city strengthenings were destroyed, the populated part of the city decreased. The Mongolian gain is characterized by complete decline of Tashkent.
New lifting of the city is connected with Timur’s board and Timurids. In XIV and the beginning of the XV centuries, as a part of Amir Temur’s state the city gained again value of a strong fortress, its territory extended, develops productions, trade, culture. The city was surrounded with a new wall since Timur attached great value to Tashkent, as to a military fortress (outpost) of the empire. The beginning of the XVI century is characterized by emergence of nomad Uzbek tribes under leadership of Sheybani han. Nomadic Uzbeks lodged in conquered territories and mixed up with local settled Turkic and other people. These nomads called themselves “Uzbeks” and from now on the term “Uzbek” was widely adopted and began to affirm as the name, subsequently the created, Uzbek nationality.
Then throughout the 2nd centuries, in the XVII-XIX centuries, Tashkent became the fight arena between Khiva, Kokand khanates and the Bukhara emirate. At the beginning of the XIX century the city was conquered by the kokand khan and became a part of the Kokand khanate. More than once tried to grasp Tashkent the Bukhara emirate. Between local khanates the imperial government of Russia used the developed situation. In 1865 imperial armies seized Tashkent, and the city was attached to Russia. In 1867 was formed the Turkestan General Governorship with the capital in Tashkent.
Tashkent was the capital UZSSR in 1924, and then the capital was transferred to the city of Samarkand. Since 1930 Tashkent again becomes the capital.
Today, Tashkent is the largest city of Central Asia, with the population about 3 million people. The territory of the city makes 320 km 2 and consists of 11 administrative regions.
This ancient city on the Great Silk Way where ancient east architecture and modern receptions of town planning harmoniously intertwine. All this involves numerous tourists from all over the world, combining ancient east traditions and a modern way of life.

Probing Sports Cars
By: Glady Reign
To drive the ultimate sports car is to experience the ultimate dream ride. Since the first sports car was launched to wide public interest, sports car designs have gone through a number of modifications, changes, alterations that served to enhance its abilities. These features made it possible for a growing clientÃ?le of speed-hungry drivers to take particular note of sports cars. Fortunately, car companies have never gone tired in creating new sports cars with all the advanced technology that has been developed over the years. One of these is America's foremost car maker, Ford, responsible for the high-quality sports car Ford Probe. With its supreme steering manageability, efficient shocks and suspension system--the adrenaline of feeling a thousand steeds under the hood of this particular car model is just icing on the cake.
The Ford Probe managed to deliver an important contribution to the sports car segment---the . Ford produced a set of highly efficient parts that are ideal for a sports car, and this greatly helped other people to upgrade their own cars into the Ford Probe level. This sporty coupe was well-lauded by its patrons from different markets across the globe, and it has surpassed two generations of being an iconic sports car. It is akin to the Mazda MX-6, for it bears the same trademark quality and durability of the Ford Probe Parts.
What is most attractive about the Ford Probe is its ability to house all the failsafe car systems. In a sports car, this is important because if the systems are just like the other vehicles', this will not be able to deliver the much needed supercharged performance. For instance, its brake system comprise of the Ford Probe Parts, which is why it is able to deliver full speed without the risk of a failed stoppage. Every part for the Probe has been manufactured by Ford through acquiring the most durable materials that were gathered with the latest technology. Even its exteriors are impressive, it has that futuristic concept for the late 1980s, making it appear as futuristic cars in action-packed films.
Primarily, the Probe was intended to replace the Ford Mustang, but since this coupe leans more towards sports car activities rather than the Muscle Car effect, it was made to replace the Ford EXP instead. The next time one decides to buy a sports car, make sure to probe all its capabilities to adhere to all the requirements of a sports car fanatic. After all, from parts to performance, it is not so bad to go for the car that does it the way the Ford Probe does.

PCC creates safe space for formerly incarcerated students

Emmanuel Gomez was already a Lancer when he got arrested and thought being a student might save him from a conviction and harsh sentence. It didn’t; the district attorney still took his case and ran with it, all the way to a guilty verdict from a jury. What did save him was his community.
Community Overcoming Recidivism through Education (CORE) and the Formerly Incarcerated Radical Scholars Team (FIRST) are two intertwined groups at PCC dedicated to supporting and advocating for students who have been impacted by incarceration and the prison system. A focus of their mission is to bring change to their own communities. The primary advisor for both groups is Dr. Anthony Francoso, who teaches sociology at PCC.
Gomez said his involvement with these groups is what saved him from a harsher sentence, and aided in his release from prison.
“The only thing that saved me was that the judge recognized that I was in school, he saw the letters that Francoso gave me, he saw the letters that Mark from DSPS [Mark Sakata from Disabled Students Programs/Services] gave me,” Gomez said. “They saw my involvement, my job at the food pantry. They saw these things, and that’s what saved me. That’s why I’m speaking to you right now, and not in jail.”
On the PCC website, CORE states that its main objective “is to develop a holistic approach empowering students to succeed in higher education and beyond.”
Gomez defines both groups in simpler terms: “We advocate for our peers on campus of different populations, whether they’ve been incarcerated or impacted by the system one way or another.”
Recently, CORE took part in the Career Communities Social Justice Conference which took place from Tuesday, September 15 to Thursday, September 17. The conference included many different panels with presenters from the Transfer Center, Associated Students, and more.
Members were pleased to find that the student involvement was very diverse. CORE and FIRST member Veronica Barrera pointed out that having these kinds of discussions is a huge first step towards change.
The goal of the conference, as stated on the PCC website, was to support students “in selecting, preparing for, and achieving [their] career and academic goals while learning how a wide range of careers can contribute to social change.”
Gomez participated in the conference as a student, not as a representative of CORE. However, he still stressed the importance of action, on campus and beyond.
With mental health being a huge part of the groups’ focus, they have facilitated growth and change among students.
“Every time we meet up for FIRST, even in the spring, the one first question is how’s everyone’s mental health today?” Barrera said. “And that showed so much care for me. I deal with my personal life and my work life, and at times I felt like I didn’t have the resources I needed.”
Barrera works in a hospital and has been unable to attend protests due to the pandemic. However, she says she has learned so much in the past 6 months, due to online support and resources. Having gone to PCC in 2009, she notes how social justice efforts have grown on campus.
“In 2009, we didn’t have these conversations,” Barrera said. “I’m very grateful that groups like CORE and FIRST have been developed in the last couple of years, to kind of grow with social justice.”
These groups give students a platform for new perspectives and ideas to be shared with their peers on campus.
“If any headline resonates with us, we’re going to speak about it,” Gomez said. “We’re constantly trying to address these things to our peers because if we feel that way, we know that a good amount might feel the same way.”
He said he is grateful for the opportunities FIRST has given him, including a job on campus, and is using his platform to give the same opportunities to others like him.
The climate surrounding social justice beyond PCC exhibits how frustrating progress can be, but groups like CORE and FIRST aim to show that even small steps are steps forward.
“We want to see change, and sometimes we don’t see it in the bigger platforms, nationally, but we are doing it within our community, within our college,” Barrera said.

Michelson’s visibility technique for obtaining spectral distributions interferometrically in the visible region is compared with the new far-infrared interferogram method. The scanning function for the lamellar-grating type interferometric modulator that is used for the far-infrared region has been derived. Its theoretical resolution limit is compared with the spectrum estimate obtained from experimental results with a microwave source. Discrepancies between the derived spectrum estimate, obtained by a finite Fourier series expansion, and the true spectrum are discussed. A simple technique, due to Rayleigh, is invoked to avoid distortion of the spectrum due to the so-called Gibbs phenomenon. A spectrum of H2O extending from 8 to 60 cm−1 (λ = 1250 to 167 μ) illustrates the application of Rayleigh’s method.

In contrast with the prolific research examining the effects of green building (GB) on property value, energy saving, or indoor air quality, there has been minimal focus on GB’s effects on Construction Waste Minimization (CWM), which is also an important aspect of cultivating sustainability in the built environment. To address this significant knowledge gap, this study has two progressive objectives: (1) to ascertain the empirical effects of GB on CWM and; (2) to identify and understand the causes leading to the ascertained effects. This is achieved by triangulating quantitative ‘big data’ obtained from government agencies with qualitative ‘thick data’ derived from case studies and interviews. The study found that BEAM Plus, the latest version of the Building Environmental Assessment Method developed by the Hong Kong Green Building Council (HKGBC), gave rise to a 36.19% waste reduction by weight for demolition works, but no statistically significant waste reduction for foundation or building works. It is because CWM, the basis for a demolition project to obtain GB credits, makes up only one of many ways for foundation or building works to earn credits, e.g., site aspects, lighting. In any case, CWM measures typically prove costlier means of acquiring credit, further causing developers to pay less attention to CWM in their GB tactics. The study’s results, i.e., CWM in GB significantly influences demolition, but only marginally for foundation and building works, provide useful scientific evidence to inform GB councils and other responsible bodies and encourage continuous improvement in GB practices. While the study in general sheds light on how the triangulation of big, empirical data with conventional, qualitative data, e.g., interviews with GB professionals, helps to better understand the subject of the investigation, i.e., the effects of GB on CWM.

== Electrokinetic Actuation ==
Each body can be characterized by electrical presence/response to applied electric fields. The interaction of the body can be reduced to two phenomena,
In contrast with dielectrophoresis, low frequencies must be used such that the free charges can respond in time to the change in field polarity.
==== Electrowetting Basics ====
== Electrowetting Basics ==
[[Image:Basic Electrowetting.png|500px|right]]
The basic setup for an electrowetting experiment is as follows: and conductive droplet in air wets the surface of an insulated electrode. The surface is made to be hydrophobic with high contact angle. The top of the drop is in contact with an electrode, and upon application of voltage charges rush into the conductive droplet and change the capacitance of the droplet/bottom electrode interface. This pulls the droplet closer down to the solid surface appearing as a change in surface energy which can be observed with a reduction in contact angle. With appropriate choice of medium, droplet liquid and superhydrophobic surface, very high contact angle contrast can be achieved.

The basic setup for an electrowetting experiment is as follows: and conductive droplet wets the surface of an insulated electrode. The surface is made to be hydrophobic with high contact angle. The top of the drop is in contact with an electrode, and upon application of voltage charges rush into the conductive droplet and change the capacitance of the droplet/bottom electrode interface. This pulls the droplet closer down to the solid surface appearing as a change in surface energy which can be observed with a reduction in contact angle. With appropriate choice of medium, droplet liquid and superhydrophobic surface, very high contact angle contrast can be achieved.
[[Image:Basic Electrowetting.png|500px]]
[[Image:Angles.png|500px]]
The electrostatic energy stored between the droplet and bottom electrode is capacitive in nature and acts to reduce the surface energy density <math>\gamma_{sl}^0</math> of the solid/liquid interface.
<math>\gamma_{sl} = \gamma_{sl}^0 - \frac{\epsilon V^2}{2 d}</math>.
The Young equation for the contact angle of a liquid is where (s = solid, m = medium, l = liquid [drop])
The Young equation for the contact angle of a liquid is where (s = solid, g = gas (medium), l = liquid [drop])
<math>cos(\theta) = \frac{\gamma_{sm}-\gamma_{sl}}{\gamma_{ml}}</math>
<math>cos(\theta) = \frac{\gamma_{sg}-\gamma_{sl}}{\gamma_{gl}}</math>
Thus the contact angle of the liquid depends on the applied voltage as
<math>cos(\theta) = \frac{\gamma_{sm}-\gamma_{sl}^0 + \frac{\epsilon V^2}{2 d}}{\gamma_{ml}}=cos(\theta_0)+\frac{\epsilon V^2}{2 d \gamma_{ml}}</math>
This is the basic equation of electrowetting. The contact angle changes (decreases) with application of higher voltage, increase of dielectric constant of the insulating medium, decreasing insulator thickness, and decreasing medium/liquid surface tension. These are the 4 parameters that govern the actuation force and scaling of this phenomenon.
<math>cos(\theta) = \frac{\gamma_{sg}-\gamma_{sl}^0 + \frac{\epsilon V^2}{2 d}}{\gamma_{gl}}=cos(\theta_0)+\frac{\epsilon V^2}{2 d \gamma_{gl}}</math>
====Electrowetting Actuation ====
This is the basic equation of electrowetting and is called the "Young-Lippman Equation". The contact angle changes (decreases) with application of higher voltage, increase of dielectric constant of the insulating medium, decreasing insulator thickness, and decreasing medium/liquid surface tension. These are the 4 parameters that govern the actuation force and scaling of this phenomenon.
[[Image:Geometries.png|500px|right]]
[[Image:Movement.png|500px|right]]
==Electrowetting Actuation ==
Many different kinds of potential actuation geometries are possible, but the most common is that of a set of electrodes roughly the size of the water droplet, and a transparent top conductive layer of ITO. The droplets are actuated by creating an asymmetry in surface forces acting on the droplet thus creating a net-force that drives a droplet to minimize its overall surface tension. When a droplet straddles two electrodes of differing voltages, the surface tension over one electrode is difference than over the other (due to a different amount of capacitive energy being stored) in each side of the droplet, and the droplet is driven to reside completely over the electrode of higher voltage.
[[Image:Electrodes.png]]
[[Image:Geometries.png|500px]]
[[Image:Movement.png|500px]]
[[Image:Electrodes.png|500px|right]]
The net force per unit length is thus
<math>f = \gamma_{sl}^0 - \gamma_{sl}(V) = \frac{\epsilon V^2}{2 d \gamma_{ml}}</math>
<math>f = \gamma_{sl}^0 - \gamma_{sl}(V) = \frac{\epsilon V^2}{2 d \gamma_{gl}}</math>
Note that this assumes negligible contact angle hysteresis, which as long as confined to only a few degrees is still accurate.
[[Image:Angle of Advancement.png]]
Given an angle of advancement <math>\phi</math>, the total force on the droplet due to electrowetting is
Given an angle of advancement <math>\phi</math> and a droplet/electrode pitch <math>L</math>, the total force on the droplet due to electrowetting is
<math>F=2\int_0^{\phi} f cos(\theta)ds = 2\int_0^{\phi} f cos(\theta)\frac{L}{2}d\theta=f L sin(\phi) = \frac{\epsilon L V^2}{2d \gamma_{gl}} sin(\phi)</math>
==Other Forces==
In these systems, the droplet will experience not only the electrowetting forces, but also dissipative forces such as drag from the medium (if it is a fluid like oil) and from the surface. These forces will act against
movement of the droplet. The droplet will quickly reach a steady state terminal velocity upon application of the electrowetting force. For most experiments of this sort, the droplets can be move at speeds in the range of 10s of cm/s which is extremely fast for those size scales.
==Achieving High Speeds at Low voltages==
Since the drag force at the solid/liquid interface is dependent on friction forces between the media, it is preferable to use superhydrophobic surfaces which have as high as possible a contact angle, to guarantee that over the range of contact angles induced by a voltage, the droplet still remains as non-wetting as possible. For example, given a particular aspect ratio for the device, if the contact angle changes by 40 degrees upon application of a certain voltage, then if a superhydrophobic surface is used with a normal water contact angle of 150 degrees, then the actuated contact angle will be 110 degrees and thus still fairly nonwetting, allowing for higher droplet velocities.
Currently, most research groups use teflon as a hydrophobic surface and can reach high droplet speeds - however this requires the usage of very high voltages (50-200V). The most attractive design is one that minimizes the actuation voltages down to below 10V as these could enable chips to be portable and powered off a battery. Recent research shows that this is possible by using very thin insulating dielectrics with high dielectric constant and covering them with a thin film superhydrophic layer.

Introduction and Motivation
Over the past decade there has been a large amount of attention given to developing miniaturized systems capable of doing biochemical analysis primarily for medical applications. This "lab-on-a-chip" concept aims to reduce an entire laboratory worth of highly expensive equipment down the size of one small cheap device which can not only perform the same tests as its larger counterparts, but also more accurately, faster, with less consumption, and with a potential to someday be implanted in the human body to do realtime medical testing. The realization of this technology is heavily dependent on liquid transport in small volumes and thus microfluidics.
Most current microfluidic 'lab-on-a-chip' devices utilize fixed channels for fluid flow and rely on continuous pressure driven flow to actuate the device. Most advanced techniques in microfluidic channel fabrication allow for extremely dense and complicated patterns to created, with many tens or even hundreds of centers for various biochemical analysis to be performed in parallel. While this approach has been very successful, it is very limited and rigid in that once a chip is created for a specific purpose, it cannot be used for anything else, and thus for each different type of test, a different chip is required. This approach also requires high pressures, highly complex fabrication, and most importantly difficult to control, since each different fluid is driven by a separate pressure source, which requires in many cases an unmanageably large volume of tubes to interface with the chip.
To solve this problem, some research groups have begun to use electrokinetic methods to actuate fluidic flow rather than relying on pneumatic methods which do not scale easily. By using conductive or polarizable fluids, it is possible to actuate fluidic motion though electromagnetic forces. This strength of this method relies on the amazing re-configurability of the fluidic circuits - the ability to manipulate small volumes of fluids in a geometry that can be redefined at a moments notice - and thus potentially capable of making a more general type of 'lab-on-a-chip' that can address a wide variety of needs and tests, and require nothing more than a microchip for computing and power source to do its job. These type of chips could be easily integrated into other devices, and even be disposable.
Furthermore, electrokinetic actuation frees the chip from having to rely on flows of liquids, and can instead actuate individual droplets, cells, etc. This allows for a "digital microfluidic device" in which the individual operations of dispensing, splitting, combining, mixing, transporting, incubating, and sensing objects is reducible to a programmable set of instructions. It has even been proposed to devote an entire high level programming language that will allow researchers to do all their experiments on one chip, simple by writing the appropriate segment of code.
Types of Electrokinetic Actuation
Each body can be characterized by electrical presence/response to applied electric fields. The interaction of the body can be reduced to two phenomena, the realignment of dipoles or polarizability of the object, and the kinetics of free charges or ions which can be specified by a conductance an capacitance of the object. The strength of the object's conductance, capacitance, and polarizability relative to the medium it is immersed in determines the forces that the object will experience. Generally it is safe to categorize objects into opposite extremes of the values and so highly conductive materials lie on one end of the spectrum, and can be actuated by relying on the free charges/ions, and highly polarizable media can be actuated by relying on dipole forces that arise in field gradients. This is the basis for the two most popular types of electrokinetic actuation methos: electrowetting and dielectrophoresis.
Dielectrophoresis
Here, high frequency (Mhz) electric fields are used to exploit the fact that an electric field gradient produces a force on a dipole. This method of actuation is well known but less common in digital microfluidics due to problems with heating. In this wiki entry, I will not focus on this force.
Electrowetting
In electrowetting, a highly conductive body which is partially wetting a solid surface is exposed to an electric field emanating from the surface, which in turn moves charges to the body's surface. The now polarized object acts in a way to counteract all electric fields within the object and thus experiences no body forces. The charges within the body will accumulate near the object/solid interface and the object will be pulled down towards the surface thus changing the contact angle formed at the tri-phase contact. Thus electric fields are used to change the wetting properties of most commonly a liquid droplet of salt-water. While this method has recently been a popular approach for changing liquid curvature for application in liquid lenses
Electrowetting Basics
<math>\gamma_{sl} = \gamma_{sl}^0 - \frac{1}{2}cV^2</math>
The capacitance <math>C</math> of a system of this geometry is described by the the dielectric constant of the insulating layer <math>/epsilon</math>, the height of this layer <math>d</math>, and the area <math>A</math> of contact through
<math>C=\frac{\epsilon A}{d}</math>
Since we are dealing with surface tensions (surface energy density) we need the capacance per unit area, and thus the solid/liquid surface tension is now
Electrowetting Actuation
Other Forces
In these systems, the droplet will experience not only the electrowetting forces, but also dissipative forces such as drag from the medium (if it is a fluid like oil) and from the surface. These forces will act against movement of the droplet. The droplet will quickly reach a steady state terminal velocity upon application of the electrowetting force. For most experiments of this sort, the droplets can be move at speeds in the range of 10s of cm/s which is extremely fast for those size scales.

Hawaii’s Gov. Neil Abercrombie signs 16 bills addressing prostitution, energy and sex abuse, Cathy Bussewitz, The Associated Press
June 22, 2014 /in Hawaii /by SOL Reform
HONOLULU — Hawaii Gov. Neil Abercrombie signed 16 bills into law Friday afternoon on proposals ranging from modernizing the electric grid to stopping police officers from having sex with prostitutes in the line of duty.
Several of the proposals dealt with protecting children from harm and restoring justice to victims of Internet crimes.
“The Legislature in this package has particularly focused in on crimes against humanity, particularly for those that are the most vulnerable, and for that reason I’m pleased to be able to put this together … and sign all the bills,” Abercrombie said in a ceremony Friday afternoon.
The bills also address emergency management and energy conservation.
The deadline for the governor to sign bills is July 8. But the governor has to let the Legislature know by June 23 if he plans to veto any bills.
Here’s a sampling of the bills that the governor signed into law:
— COP SEX: An unusual law allowed police officers to have sex with prostitutes in the course of investigations. But the bill (HB 1926) changes the law so that police can still solicit sex, but cannot engage in sexual penetration or sadomasochistic abuse on the job.
— CHILD SEX ABUSE: A pair of proposals lengthen the amount of time victims of child sex abuse have to file claims. One bill (SB 2687) extends the amount of time that victims of child sexual abuse have to file civil lawsuits until 2016 if the date of their claim had already passed the statute of limitations. A flurry of lawsuits had been filed before a deadline. Another bill (HB 2034) removes the statute of limitations on filing criminal child sex abuse claims for continuous abuse or abuse in the first and second degrees.
— ELECTRIC GRID: One proposal (HB 1943) will modernize Hawaii’s electrical system to ensure that customers producing energy through solar panels or other means could connect to the electric grid. Hawaii residents had clamored for solutions after installing costly solar arrays that could not be connected to the state electricity system.
— REVENGE PORN: Photos have a way of lingering on the Internet, but prosecutors in Hawaii rallied to protect those who are victims of angry exes. The bill (HB 1750) makes it illegal to post a nude photo without the subject’s permission. It targets those who post pictures with the intent of ruining the careers, reputations or relationships of the people depicted.
— EMERGENCY RESPONSE: A proposal (HB 849) aims to protect Hawaii residents during emergencies and natural disasters. It clears up who’s responsible for what when a disaster occurs.

2016 depa elections delivers four new brooms
Four vacancies to be filled and four exciting new candidates elected today. Nominations closed at midday and the NSW Electoral Commission has confirmed that we have the right number of candidates for the right number of positions. Nice.
There are ten positions on the Committee of Management. One President, two Vice Presidents, six Committee Members and the Secretary. The Secretary has a four-year term, so is not up for election this year, and the five current members of the Committee who renominated have been declared elected.
While a new broom sweeps clean, an old broom knows the dirty corners best. (Gee, it’s hard to go past a couple of great ancient sayings/proverbs/platitudes.) So six existing old brooms and four new brooms are a great combination.
President Andrew Spooner has been re-elected. Andrew has been a member of the Committee for close to 20 years and President for the last four. He is the Sustainable City and Environment Manager at Campbelltown City Council.
Jo Doheny and Jamie Loader have been re-elected as Vice Presidents. Both are also long-standing members of the Committee and Vice Presidents with a long history of commitment as delegates- Jo at Gosford and Jamie from the bush and at Parramatta. Jo is Senior Landuse Planner at Gosford and Jamie is Manager Building Certification at Wyong.
Joanne Dunkerley has been a member of the Committee for the past four years and is now an Urban Planner at Newcastle after leaving Great Lakes last year. Joanne is re-elected. Also re-elected is Vince Galletto. This will be Vince’s second term on the Committee of Management and he is the Team Leader - Building and Development Advisory Service at Ryde.
That’s the old brooms out of the way. The four new brooms, in alphabetical order, are:
Steven Cook
Steven is a Senior Planner at Wagga Wagga City Council and has been our delegate since 2008, when he was our only member. He recruited vigorously (we now have 16 members) and he was our delegate during The Troubles of 2010 and 2011 which, amongst other things, involved some bans, had the Council forced by the IRC into calling for an apology from that boofhead Peter Hurst and among a number of recommendations to resolve the problems, delivered a recommendation from IRC Deputy President Grayson that the Council had an obligation as part of its duty of care to protect the professional reputations of staff. Nice precedent.
Steven had surgery for cancer in 2013 and 2014, our August 2014 issue carried the story of then GM Phil Pinyon (suspended and resigned last year) and director Andrew Crackenthorp (currently suspended) refusing to provide additional sick leave. Steven has survived cancer and working for both Phil and Andrew, and will bring a real resilience to the Committee.
Renah Givney
Renah is a planner employed as a Senior Assessment Officer at Coffs Harbour City Council, where she has worked since 2007. Renah has been our delegate at Coffs Harbour City Council since 2014 and has been our delegate during the long-running, complicated and seemingly interminable dispute arising from their restructure (which earned Coffs our nomination in our 2015 HR awards) and courageously supported a member to file a grievance against a bullying misogynist. A real asset to the Committee.
Brendan Hayes
It’s not an exaggeration to say that Brendan has been a depa stalwart everywhere he has worked - in both metropolitan and country councils. He has been our delegate, representative on consultative committees and Chair of a Consultative Committee too. He is a foundation and active member of EDAP, the most successful surviving regional representative of the professions involved in development and environmental control. Brendan is the Director Environmental Services at Weddin Shire, which has its centre at Grenfell in the State’s south west. A jewel in the crown of the Western wedge of the state and a timely representative for a very, very big region.
Michael is the Health Team Leader at Penrith City Council and was an active and capable delegate for us at Holroyd before he moved to Penrith last year. He is acting as a co-delegate at Penrith and will bring a measured mind and enthusiasm to that job as well as the Committee. Michael will be our second representative for Greater Sydney - assuming that Penrith and Campbelltown are part of greater Sydney.
Congratulations to the four new members of the Committee. You can read the policy statements of the ten candidates here.
The new Committee takes office from 1 May and will first meet in our annual strategic planning conference on 9 and 10 May. It will be an exciting year for everyone.
PIA NSW did what?
Wow, that’s a headline you don’t see very often. Largely imperceptible, PIA NSW has historically provided representation consistent with the majority of their board members - a majority from the private sector and a couple of local government people tossed in for appearances - as they have restrained themselves to professional education, training and running a conference.
The last time we mentioned PIA NSW was when we thought it was largely moribund and lamented its failure to properly represent the interests of planners and those involved in development control in local government with their support for broader exempt and complying development. You know, employment generation for the private sector.
But, just when you thought we had all got over LGPA misrepresenting itself as an organisation with some expertise in looking after employees at work, PIA NSW has crashed into the vacuum created by their tactical withdrawal with some broad assertions about their capacity and interest to represent planners in the workplace.
Historically, depa has had a relationship with PIA NSW’s Local Government Network which began more than a decade ago when we signed an agreement with people in the LG Network that we would support each other - specifically, PIA would encourage their members to join depa and depa would encourage its members to join PIA.
It goes without saying that this was an arrangement that advantaged PIA more than it provided a benefit to us.
Around that time PIA NSW commissioned Sue Holliday to do a report on the toxic workplace of planners in local government. Fair enough, but in the end, so what? I can remember a PIA NSW conference at Wollongong where Sue and I conducted a session (chaired by Graham Gardener) about the toxic workplace and Graham asked for a show of hands of who was a member of PIA and who was a member of depa. If our members outnumbered those of PIA NSW tenfold, it would be an understatement. Virtually everyone was a member of ours, a handful were a member of PIA NSW and some of them were members of both. A couple were members of PIA NSW and not ours. Not ours yet, anyway.
PIA NSW had no capacity at all to do anything about the workplace, toxic or otherwise, and if anyone was going to do anything about it at all, it would be us. And, as you be aware, that’s precisely what we’ve done over the last decade or so - more than 10 years of industrial action and bans on miscreants in the industry attacking our members of the toxic workplace, culminating in our section 106 against the grumpy old bastards (and potentially crooks, depending on what the ICAC does with the current investigation) at Mid-Western.
You can check out how we responded in our May 2006 issue.
But last week, the new PIA NSW President, Marjorie Ferguson (ex-Canada Bay and a member of ours at the time) wrote to the general managers at all councils in New South Wales under the heading “NSW Boundaries Review”, asking that they pass on her correspondence to planners who work for them. She made a number of observations about PIA’s role which we believe to be presumptuous and misrepresentations. For example:
Support planners in terms of professional, career and personal circumstances as a consequence of workplace changes,
Advocate and provide support for the crucial role that planners can and should take on the change management processes, and
Provide information services to support planners’ understanding of the implications of new structures, positions etc. (The bold is our emphasis.)
We responded. Here is their letter and ours. You will see that our letter invited Marjorie to phone and talk to us with a request that she clarify to the same general managers that the workplace was our area and that there was no intention in her letter to suggest otherwise.
She did ring us to suggest that we were “old-fashioned”, “paranoid” and that it was a “free world” and that meant she could write whatever she liked and, when it was suggested that if she didn’t clarify things we would, because it was a “free world”, we could do that.
We reminded her on Tuesday this week that we did have a deadline to advise our members and she has chosen not to respond. So, it being a free world and all, we’re happy to call them clumsy in their communication, irrelevant to workplace employment issues and their letter has irritated more than it has drawn support.
Even a general manager has felt obliged to respond, telling them that he thought the employment stuff was depa and other industrial organisations and he’s been a general manager for 10 years and “where have you been all these years that I’ve been general manager at The Hills Shire Council?”
Well Marjorie, free world and all, what are you going to do about that?

FIATA – Together we are strong !
As I thought about how to address this message to you, I was sure that I did not need to reiterate on the events unfolding arounds us all and the impacts on FIATA Members in a business and personal sense.
These are unprecedented times. Never in most of our living memories has the world faced such a global crisis. With the priority being to combat the global health pandemic and the impact on the relationship of employers and employees, FIATA focus is now on the business outcomes which drive our societal and personal outcomes.
What we in the industry know, and others need to know, is that the global supply chain, while compromised, continues to be operational however in a very fractured state. What we in the industry also know is that the revival of national economies is totally linked to global trade and while governments may set the policy on such, it is traders who trade and FIATA members who ensure the delivery of those goods to users and consumers. Shipping lines, airlines and other transport operators provide the conveyance methods but are chosen as the method of transport most cost effective by the international freight forwarder. So, in this logistics struggle freight forwarders are an essential if not the key component of the community and economic struggle. AS FIATA Members your role is to ensure the supply of food and basic necessities for your family, community and economies (and their citizens) affected by Covid-19.
With rapid escalation of travel restrictions and closed borders as to people movement, the movement of goods has also been compromised however any risk from goods is, in main limited or no risk, from the goods but only from human handling intervention. The FIATA position as to the position of other international organisations as to cargo movements are supported as to relaxation of a variety of governmental and non-governmental entities monopolistic positions at ports and airports as to fiscal charges. While FIATA spoke out on these issues during the best of times it now sees an urgent need to curb some of these revenue desires in the worst of times!
While FIATA notes the resilience of its National Associations Members and their members, FIATA will take forward the message of the importance of the freight forwarding industry in international forums however it also calls on its National Association Members to take a clear and concise message to their respective National governments that they (and their members) will be pivotal to each economy’s revival and need to be at the heart of what will be required in trade facilitation reform.
So National Association Members a call to arms to meet the challenge of your members in being recognized as a “special industry category” in the discussions that will need to be held as this is the time for discussions for the future and time to be used wisely. There is now a common need to fully implement the World Trade Organisation Agreement on Trade Facilitation and for those who see the benefits it will be “first mover advantage”.
The FIATA Presidency stills meets regularly on videoconference and the Secretariat, while addressing the Swiss governments requirements on staff health and safety aspects, continues its Member support and while business delivery has been impacted Members service remains paramount.
Over the coming days FIATA will release several Media commentaries to reinforce the FIATA position and to link those aspects to public comments from industry transport associations.
I would like here to express my sympathy to all those affected by the Covid-19 all around the world. FIATA is mindful of the social, community and economic impact we face and that there is still more to come however FIATA pledges through its National Association Members to meet those challenges to the best of our collective capabilities.

samwise reviewer
Look I understand why people don’t like this. This doesn’t change the fact that I do. Midnight is kinda underrated, and I wish that they would have explored that territory a bit more. The whole things is saturated in reverb and there are these tiny details in the mix that show that the production team and the band cared about this thing a lot. Say what you will but this album is important to Coldplay and to me.

The reason I love this song so much is because it’s me and my gf favorite song. Every time I hear it, it just brightens my day.
#jointhestickynotewars
To everyone who says their new music sucks~
😑😐😴🙄
This album is a bit forgotten, but it is the best Coldplay album since Viva la Vida. None of the big pop production of the last decade and feels more true to their old selves.
Grett10
This is my favorite Coldplay album. It's just amazing. It's definitely a sad album but I like that kind of music. The sound is amazing. One of my favorite albums of all time!

Jainaellis
I can’t stand Coldplay. I’ve tried to like them. I’ve really tried. But I can’t. I’m a ridiculously huge fan of Imagine Dragons, having memorized every song THEY put out since 2009. I’m also a fan of The Score, and I like lots of songs from AJR. Many fans of Imagine Dragons and The Score are also fans of Coldplay. I’ve tried my hardest to like this, but I just don’t. It’s probably amazing; I just don’t hear it.
T-150guy
This album is an example of the classic let's make a disco electric mainstream album. I liked earlier Coldplay albums for their relevance and flow. This album is like watching a soap opera slow and choppy. Some good songs such as midnight and magic. Coldplay really had lost their touch and needs a return to their roots. Chris Martin your earlier material is what made you guys great stop trying to appeal to everyone and go back to your roots.
ko7h
I thought it would come with the album with its name. That song it amazing.
wilbogdanoff
Favorite album of theirs by far!
PhyllinThisWay
I’m watching the winter 2018 Olympics and the USA 🇺🇸 was playing this as the theme song. My goodness, it was magical! Yay Coldplay! I’ve been sleeping much too long!
Ooh La Lyla
I've liked Coldplay since the very beginning, when they released 'Parachutes' (which I just realized was in 2000, and now I feel OLD). Regardless, I've enjoyed most of their style variations from album to album in different ways, but I have to say this is probably my favorite of theirs, from start to finish. It has that sort of intimate, yearning quality that was present in their first couple albums, but with some modern stylistic updates. It has those awesome, more upbeat, pop-rock songs like "Magic" and "Sky Full of Stars", plus the more mellow, intimate songs like "Oceans" and "O" (possibly my favorite song on the record - it's beautiful). The ambient-influenced "Midnight" is also a stand out. Overall, LOVE this whole album.

I have have always liked Coldplay. But this album is amazing love it. Its my go to for a drive after a hard day at work.

The last good thing Coldplay ever made before selling out. It's a shame how bad they've become but Ghost Stories is a beautiful end to one of the 2000's best alt rock bands.

Best album ever
CTPIANO.com
This is by far the greatest album of music I've ever heard in my life (along with Aquilo - Silhouettes) the pure raw purging soul emotions of love and why we're here are truly indescribable in audible words and this has changed my life with such emotional release and empowerment ever since it was released. This album is the heart and soul of what it means to feel on every level and it's the defining work of emotional existence. Thank You for changing this world Coldplay All blessings for continued happiness
Coldplay#1fan.
This album is much, MUCH deeper and more philisophical than people give it credit for, and A Sky Full of Stars gives it a bad rep, and is an inaccurate representation of the album as a whole. To start, Midnight is genius. Hands down. Genius. It channels a bit of Kid A, but Coldplay makes it more melodic, something that Radiohead (despite their lyrical and musical genius) couldn't always do. The lyrics of Midnight are also some of Chris Martin's best. The next song worthy of noting is Oceans, which is reminiscent of one of their more obscure but best songs, Easy to Please (off the Brothers and Sisters EP, one of their best releases). The feeling Oceans evokes is simply stunning, with his voice perfectly blending into haunting guitar and synths. What's best about this song is that the emotion is pure, unadulturated, and honest. Gone are songs about young love unrequited (Shiver), or the overly dramatic and slighty cotrived sappieness of Fix You, replaced with a pure and hollow feeling of loss. All in all, this album doesn't get the credit it's due. And its nice to see them veering away from mainstream (at least on a few of the songs).
Lesupercoolreviewguy
"Magic" and "Midnight" specifically stand out, but the whole album is a masterpiece. Coldplay makes yet again, a wonderful album.
BellaKGee
Absolutely love this album!!!
Thedreadpirateroberts
Ghost Stories took awhile to grow on me but it's really a great album for when you just want to chill. "True Love" is haunting. "Magic" is a great song. "Midnight" is another highlight as is "Another's Arms".
TheNovemberCold
Coldplay heavily experimented with this one, and if i had to use one word to describe it I would use "ambience". Each song is set within its own world that is fully displayed through chris martins vocals and the heavy synthesized background. No space is left unfilled, sound encompasses every direction. I love this album, as I have loved every album before now. This just might be my favorite.
cjmack03
This is what Coldplay is good at. Beautiful album!
Love love love Coldplay and really dig the way they keep their sound fresh. This aLbum is deep, personal, has a groove and is very well made in so many ways. Just beautiful. And that guitar line in "real love" is sick.

This is my favorite album simply because it gives so much meaning. All the songs I could listen to millions of times over

When I die, I'm taking this album with me.

Wasn't such a big fan of this album as most of the songs were about heartbreak and loss. I've been a fan of their music ever since hearing Clocks when I was a kid, but was really fading away from them at the time. Around December 2014, my dog became sick and I was forced to euthanize him. It really tore me apart with guilt and sadness. I've had my dog since he was a puppy and we grew up together. I was really depressed for the following months. Then I started listening to this album and it really helped me get my head up again. A Sky Full Of Stars really made me smile once more. It got me back to listening to Coldplay's music and reminded me why they have always been my favorites.

I recently just got into Coldplay and when I first heard this album I didn't like it very much,but now it is really amazing and it gets the job done very well.

This is the most underrated Coldplay album. The emotion and brillance behind the lyrics show Coldplays incredible versatility. You need to own this album. (sidetone: if a perfect song has ever been written, it is the final track O (Fly On)) thank you Coldplay for this incredible album

My favorite was sky full of stars

Ghost Stories is an anomaly. For Coldplay, it's the point where they COMPLETELY ditch their previous sounds for a much more experimental, risky 9 track effort. This is the closest they've gotten to Parachutes since Parachutes, which should overjoyed any lover of Coldplay. However, since the release of Ghost Stories, Coldplay has released A Head Full of Dreams. This is a completely safe album, likening closer to the pop influences of Mylo Xyloto than anything else. If you're unhappy with Ghost Stories, please examine why you like Coldplay in the first place, because this is an incredible work of art.

It's one of my favs from Coldplay. Very calm and chilling.

Ghost Stories is an experience. Every element of it, from the ambient, spacey feeling given off from “Always in My Head,” “Oceans,” or “Midnight,” to the more upbeat “Magic” and “A Sky full of Stars” has a specific purpose. This is my ultimate breakup album, and I am probably biased, but I feel that it really spoke to me. Like Chris Martin said, it was meant to be a more personal expression, something he had to get out, no matter what critics thought. That’s what music is all about people. When someone puts that kind of emotion into telling a musical story, it creates something beautiful. If you’ve dismissed this album or have only listened to a few songs, put it on on a cool summer night at 2 AM, and listen to the whole thing through, then reevaluate it.

IPFW Students May be Affected by Changes to State Aid Requirements
May 3, 2016 By J200 Group Story News
Written by: Matthew Mannai, Tamula Lewis, Ryan Volkert, Austin Carpenter, Michael Dancler, Juan Alvarez & Micheala Pattison
Frank O’Bannon recipients and 21st Century Scholars may be at risk of losing all or some of their state aid if they do not complete 30 credits each academic year.
Recipients of the grant can receive a maximum of $3700 for one academic year for 15 credit hours each semester, which covers about 57 percent of the tuition costs. Students who take 12 credit hours per semester or 24 in an academic year will receive a maximum $3,367. Those completing fewer than 24 credits will not receive the grant.
The requirements of the 21st Century Scholarship also states students will lose their scholarship if they are unable to complete a minimum of 30 credit hours per academic year.
Both types of state aid recipients will no longer be eligible for state aid if they do not complete a degree within four years.
The changes to state aid were made as part of Indiana House Enrolled Act 1348. Governor Pence signed the legislation in May 2013 and only applies to students who have been enrolled since 2013.
According to the Indiana Commission for Higher Education, the purpose of HEA 1348 is to increase the number of students who are graduating within four years by encouraging them to take more classes.
These changes are where made to encourage the students already capable of graduating in four years, who are choosing to take the “scenic route” and graduate in five or six years, according to Julie Creek, director of the office of diversity and multicultural affairs.
There are 894 active 21st Century scholars and 976 active Frank O’Bannon recipients at IPFW.
The changes also require all state universities to assist students with graduating in four years by providing a four-year academic map, IPFW uses My Blueprint to meet this requirement.
My Blueprint is an online service provided to IPFW students and faculty to map out degree completions and is accessible through the enrollment section of My IPFW.
Departments like communication, education and nursing has provided students with a four year academic plan before the changes went into effect.
O’Bannon recipient Cassidy Eichmann said, the nursing department helped her plan out her four year degree completion. “I will have summer classes. I will have four credits over the summer with my clinical time.”
However, not all of the IPFW departments have created four year completion plans for their students.
According to Assistant Director of Student Success and Transitions Corrie Fox, IPFW academic advisers were retrained on My Blueprint at the beginning of the Spring 2016 semester.
According to Fox, there has been a lack of campus uniformity in informing faculty and professional academic advisors on the new requirements.
Faculty advisors on the IPFW campus reported knowing very little about changes made to state financial aid.
According to Rhonda Meriwether, academic advising center director, there is no current effort to inform faculty and professional advisors on the financial implications that the changes to state aid may have on state aid recipients.
“We are very concerned about this policy direction. It has the potential to very much impact our student’s ability to continue to receive state support”, George McClellan, IPFW vice chancellor of student affairs said.
However, some students simply cannot take 15 credit hours or more because of other life responsibilities like, working or taking care of a family, according to Fox.
For the majority of those types of students graduating in four years is just not going to be possible or practical, Creek said.
Fox said, she would only advise students who can handle taking 15 credit hours or more to do so.
“If it’s right for you I think it’s great” Assistant Vice Chancellor of Student Success and Transitions Krissy Creager said. “If it’s not right for you, I don’t think it is something students should feel like they have to do.”
“If 15 doesn’t work for you don’t do it,” said doermer school of business academic advisor Karen Casazza. “Some people work full time and part time and they can’t do it. If that is your sweet spot, stick with that. It doesn’t matter to us how long it takes you.”
However, some students and advisors are not aware of the financial impact not graduating within four years could have on their state aid, Fox said.
The majority of IPFW students do not fully understand the requirements of the financial awards and loans, Associate Director of Financial Aid, Michael Carpenter said.
According to Fox, it is the student’s responsibility to understand and seek out help about financial aid.
According to Christopher Pine, a financial aid advisor, every student can schedule a meeting with a financial advisor but such meetings are rare.
Pine said students can access information about the requirements for the O’Bannon grant at any time through My IPFW or when they accept the award.
The Frank O’Bannon requirements are not explained to students when they are accepting the award, Fox said.
According to Fox, students don’t even have to accept the O’Bannon grant to receive it. It is automatically awarded and students must opt out of it, if they don’t want it, Fox said.
The only information about the O’Bannon requirements can be found at IN.gov under the higher education state awards and grants tab.
Compared to O’Bannon recipients, the majority of 21st Century Scholars at IPFW are aware of the award requirements when they accepted it in middle school or high school, Fox said.
Students receiving the 21st Century Scholarship are required to sign a pledge. The pledge includes acknowledging the students have read and understanding the 30 credit hour each semester requirement, according to Cicelle Beemon, a support specialist for 21st scholars.
The pledge also includes the academic and personal conduct requirements the students must adhere to in order to keep the award. The 21st Century scholars have to sign the pledge each year they receive the award.
Beemon said 21st Century Scholarship advisors at the high schools and on the IPFW campus remind the students about the 30 a year credit requirement throughout their high school and college careers.
The difference between 21st Century Scholarship and Frank O’Bannon grant is how the state distributes information about the aid requirements, Fox said.
Fox said, she recommends students do their homework on the financial aid they receive and then meet with a financial aid advisor with questions.
These requirements make it more difficult for students receiving the 21st Century Scholarship and the Frank O’Bannon Grant to navigate through their degree completion, according to McClellan.
These changes do very little to help the students who are already struggling to graduate on time, Creek said.
The majority of O’Bannon recipients and 21st Century Scholars are first generation college students with little to no family contribution to their college expenses, Fox said. Many of these student don’t know what question they should be asking in the first place, or how their financial aid works.

Modern Day Plant Hunter
Tom Hart Dyke first shot to international prominence in the year 2000, when he was kidnapped in the Colombian jungle on a plant hunting expedition that went dangerously wrong.
I’ve had some extremely exciting horticulturally endowed trips over my green filled lifetime. It’s been an absolute privilege following in the deep rooted traditions of plant hunters of past and present, travelling to the far flung corners of our green globe, risking life and limb in pursuit of some of the world’s most awe-inspiring plants.
I’m proving that modern day plant hunting still has its place in our ever changing communication rich ‘small world’. Honestly readers – there are so many plants still to be discovered!
My travelling jaunts have taken me to places from the high endemism filled volcanic archipelago of both The Canary Islands & Cape Verde Islands, to down under in Tasmania, seed collecting for the Royal Horticultural Society & Kent Garden’s Trust. From the snow capped Atlas Mountains in Morocco and an unforgettable orchid hunting foray funded by The Finnis Scott Foundation to the remote Mentawai Islands in Indonesia. You simply can’t beat observing plants in their native habitat to improve your plant husbandry back home. During these plant hunting forays I’ve succeeded in bringing back a number of plants in seed form that have helped establish the developing, botanically unique World Garden at have also given me the opportunity to share plant material with like minded plant orientated folk throughout the land, whilst at the same time developing a ‘conservation through cultivation’ angle by preserving threatened plants in cultivation should wild populations disappear. However not all of my plant hunting trips have gone so ‘horticulturally swimmingly’.
On March 16th 2000 – whilst Orchid hunting in the rainforest endowed Darien Gap, a friend and I found ourselves on the receiving end of an AK-47 stuck to our temples and were held hostage for 9-months before being released!
Since my Colombian Captivity - between 2005 and 2010 I’ve made five intrepid - safer - return journeys to South America, and just to give you a flavour of what flicks my horticultural switch, here’s my diary entry from one of my most memorable plant hunting expedition...
Central Peru 14th December 2009
During the past 3 weeks I’ve travelled over 1,800 miles, observing Peru’s kaleidoscopically endowed transitional landscape. From the Pacific desert coastline, that hasn’t seen a drop of rain in over 10 years, to the Glacial freezing Andes with hazardous scree endowed almost un-passable tracks at 17,000 feet (with your heart pumping dramatically, pushing out your rib cage till it almost splinters into a thousand fragments) to the sweltering humid laden heat of the Amazon Basin only a handful of feet above sea level.
Your senses are overloaded. All you can do is accept the altitude induced thumping headaches, the vomiting and emotional tearful outburst. By far the most awesome of all my botanically spine-tingling highlights was sensationally stumbling across an entire clump of the world’s largest flower spike. A one-in seventy-five year occurrence! It had been a childhood dream to see this aristocrat of the plant world.
The plant in question is the rare bromeliad (Pineapple relation!), Puya raimondii. Growing at over 14,000 feet above sea level where nothing else virtually grows. This is currently the finest stand of this endangered species in the world. Plants can take some 150 years to reach flowering size and after flowering the whole plant dies – in other words it’s monocarpic. Several specimens I observed were over 44 feet tall with over 10,000 whitish-yellow flowers borne per spike. Each flower spike can produce up to 10 million winged-papery seeds! The combination of these extraordinary imposing prickly aristocrats, the high altitude and seeing dozens of small hummingbirds hovering whilst pollinating this “Queen of The Andes” made me kneel down in overwhelmed admiration whilst bursting my dammed eye-lids; salty moisture flowing onto the UV parched free draining substrate. It was all emotionally too much – my chlorophyll had overheated, steam billowing from my eye holes and nasal cavities!
This is why I go plant hunting. TOTALLY ORGASMIC! Armed with a park ranger’s permit in hand I collected some seed. The World Garden at Lullingstone is now one of the few gardens in the world to cultivate this very rare stunner!

Subfamily Aclopinae
Recent studies indicate that the Aclopinae
as previously considered does not constitute a monophyletic group (Smith et al. 2006; Ocampo et al. 2010). In a recent publication, Ocampo and Vaz-de-Mello (2008) excluded the Bornean genus Xenaclopus
from the Aclopinae
and placed it within Melolonthinae
incertae sedis, because further studies are needed to reliably place this genus in the context of the melolonthine classification. Although the protruding labrum and mandibles are characters shared with the other genera currently placed in the subfamily Aclopinae
, there is no evidence that supports that these characters are synapomorphic and are likely due to convergence. As a result of this study, we have removed both Phaenognatha
and Neophaenognatha
and place them in the tribe Phaenognathini within the subfamily Melolonthinae
. The relationships of this tribe with other melolonthine tribes are uncertain. The most obvious difference between these genera and aclopines is the presence of a well developed genital capsule (the genital capsule is absent in aclopines). These data, along with morphological evidence, supports the hypothesis of a relationship between Phaenognatha
and the Chilean Lichniini (currently in Melolonthinae
), and they together might constitute a distinct and ancient lineage of Scarabaeidae

Homefront: It's like Call of Duty, except without the good parts
Posted by Klepsacovic at 6:00 AM | Sunday, August 7, 2011
This post has spoilers. Don't worry about them. Nothing is spoiled because the game is already rotten.
Due to a Steam sale and a cool concept, I bought Homefront. It's about a group of resistance fighters in America, fighting against a North Korean occupation. Neat idea, right? I mean, who can possibly not enjoy a bit of "America! Fuck yea!" and killing those damn foreigners. Er. That one specific group of foreigners, right, no generalized anti-foreign attitude here.
I really like the idea of a FPS. After years of WoW, I enjoy a game where I press the mouse and something happens and where that something does not have a roll associated with it. I click and bullets hit bad things. It has immediate feedback, positive and negative. It's satisfying in that way. But I don't play a lot of FPS games. The last two I played were Stalker (sandbox game), Call of Duty 2 (rails on rails), and Half Life 2 (science!). Due to WoW there is basically a 4-5 year empty space in my game knowledge.
Then I saw Homefront and got a computer to run it. Since the game looked really fucking awesome, I was excited. At the risk of repeating myself, I loved the concept. Asymmetric warfare with us on the fun side? Hell yes! Who doesn't love a righteous defense of one's homeland and freedom? Oh man, I was really looking forward to using a variety of pilfered weapons and unusual tactics to defeat a numerically superior force.
If you've ever played Call of Duty, you're probably aware of the extremely on-rails nature of it. Maybe at best you have a courtyard that you can assault along the north or south walls, but that's about it for decision-making. In general it's point-and-click violence with few options. And you know what? That's fine! Sometimes I want to follow along shooting Nazis or North Koreans (surprisingly similar these days, though the Nazis were a lot more aggressive than Mr. Kim Chicken).
Given that the gameplay won't be filled with decisions, fun has to come from other sources, like the combat being fun, perhaps by having interesting gun choices, or from the feel of it, the atmosphere if you will.
Call of Duty had some pretty fun gun choices. Also, a lot of variety, thanks to carrying a small armory on your back. I rather liked the German assault rifle and the Soviet "no accuracy but a lot of bullets" SMG.
In contrast, the guns in Homefront feel more or less the same. They're all ridiculously accurate and recoil isn't much of an issue. There was a gun with a gigantic magazine which then reloaded really damn slowly, but that was about it for significant variety. Just keep an eye out for one with a reflex scope, since the iron sights aren't that great. Speaking of which, I hope you love staring through a reflex scope for the entire game, slowly creeping along, because firing from the hip isn't going to get you anywhere. Is this realistic? Well, I guess so. But when we're talking about what appear to be North Koreans in stormtrooper armor with no regard for personal safety and a player character who can recover from RPG blasts a foot away just by panting a bit, reality isn't really the name of the game.
But it gets worse! In what was apparently the climactic battle, notice that I say apparently, because I didn't realize it until the deus ex machina sacrifice ending (by which I mean, we're winning! No wait, the enemy magically has a ton of reinforcements! The only solution is to tell the air support to bomb the hero and the enemy!), I was surprised to see a friendly AI kill a hostile AI. Yes, I was surprised that the AI was something more than a source of noise. You know how in WoW there will be the endless battles between scripted NPCs and they just respawn forever? Imagine that, but instead of respawning, they are incapable of killing each other. At times I'd find myself seemingly done with an area, only to get killed by an enemy standing right next to a friendly AI.
While we're on the subject of gameplay, it's just plain not fun. Mowing down faceless enemies just doesn't feel very engaging. To make it even worse, the scripting doesn't seem to quite line up with the state of the enemies, so you might get yelled at to run to a location, but there are at least a dozen enemies in the way ready to mow you down the second you stand up. So kill them all, while getting yelled at to hurry up, and then run over, only to then wait around a bit for the scripting to remember what the hell is supposed to be happening to create the illusion of urgency and action. I'm at least thankful that the enemies do not appear to have infinite respawns based on the script, as they did in Medal of Honor.
If for some ungodly reason you decide to play this game, I hope you like repeating cinematics and scripted events, because there appears to be no quicksave function. Yep, start over from the last checkpoint. And guess what, it doesn't save dropped weapons, so I hope you had enough ammo then. This lack of a quicksave may be a blessing in disguise, since the AI likes to hang out sometimes, hiding, to shoot you, and only you, in the back when you run ahead when the objective is a generic "follow" or "regroup". Remember the useless friendly AI and incoherent scripting? Yea.
The uselessness of friendly AI isn't a new, unique problem. It doesn't even have to be a problem. I don't mind being the hero. Call of Duty had plenty of instances of "you're the only guy who can use C4/rockets/sniper rifles and must save the game". But here's what made things different: much of the time in those situations the AI was actually pinned down and hiding or in some way justifiably incapable of doing it themselves, rather than just being arbitrarily useless. On the subject of AI: If I and the AI can both die in a few hits, then they should respond to covering fire by covering, not by charging straight into my bullets.
Moving on to atmosphere...
The game spends a lot of time and effort trying to set up a gritty, occupied, oppressed country. You see mass graves and concentration camps. There is at least one betrayer. Early on a child watches as his parents are executed on the street in front of him. Later someone important dies. And yet somehow it doesn't quite work. In the end you're just running around, or slowly slouching, while shooting stormtroopers through a reflex sight and all that stuff just goes to the side. It's something that happens between the action and seemingly has zero effect on or from it. There is one fight in a house with a mother trying to shelter her child, but the extent of the influence is that it cries the whole time and the resistance leader yells to shut it up. Maybe I was supposed to shoot the baby? That doesn't seem likely, but it would fit with the general theme of him being an unlikable, abrasive jackass. So I guess there's a tiny bit of character development.
Here's how Call of Duty did atmosphere: Soviet campaign begins and you're on a transport boat crossing the river into Stalingrad. For the record, this was one of the most horrible battles of the war, partially a war unto itself in terms of casualties and destruction; making most war seem like a picnic compared to two sides fighting inch for inch in winter, with low ammo, low food, and psychotic leaders on both sides who refused to ever, ever retreat. So how do you get that idea across? How about seeing the boat next to yours get sunk by a German plane? Then someone jumps in the water to flee and the officers spend scarce ammo shooting him. Upon landing you get ammo, and no gun, instead being told to follow a guy with a gun and take his if he dies. You never get a gun, instead acting as decoy for a fellow Soviet, a sniper who kills German machine gunners, and also a Soviet officer (you needed to move back a couple yards to get to a radio and he didn't like that). Second mission, more soldiers are shot, and you as well, if they don't run out in the charge (still no gun!) at German fortifications. It isn't history class, but it sure does a good job of showing, making you feel, the extreme desperation and horrible situation for everyone involved.
In Homefront I never felt as if I was part of some besieged, desperate group. I never started a mission without full clips and ammo. In fact, the areas where I had a fucking semi-autonomous, nearly invincible robot with machine guns and missile launchers on it, made me feel as if I was part of an official and fully-funded army. Speaking of which, the rails problem isn't a problem when the game puts you in an army. Soldiers follow orders and have things like plans and commanding officers. Resistance fighters might be expected to have a bit more autonomy, not anarchy, but perhaps choosing to do something that hasn't been shouted at them. Homefront could have worked very well as a sandbox FPS like Stalker, with some definite missions and a central plot line, but with flexibility, not just in what to do, but how to do it and the path to take getting there.
One last thing before I wrap this up: what was so important about the Golden Gate Bridge that it called for what appeared to be the total commitment of US forces in the area? And while we're at it, why did the Koreans not take out the forces while they were seemingly just hanging out maybe half a mile away? We know they had air forces nearby, based on the first thing to happen being a bunch of helicopters getting shot down by North Korean jets. Also "I just need a password" is possibly the least plausible "I'm almost there and only need a minute" declaration from a supposed hacker. What's next, stealing a car and hearing "I just need a key!"
I want to end on a positive note, but I won't, so I will second-to-end with a positive note: Taking off in the helicopters for the final battle and hearing them start playing Time Has Come Today. Even then, I think there could have been better choices. But let's face it, less-than-perfect, but still good, music choice is pretty damn good in comparison to the rest of the game.
So to wrap it up: This game is worth, possibly, maybe $5-10. I wasted $25, lured in by a 50% off sale. It's terribly disappointing, since the backstory was so awesome. This is why I should just stick to my $5-10 rule.
P.S. Maybe the multi-player is good. I didn't bother to try, since the peak of FPS multi-player for me was many summers back playing the medal of Honor: Spearhead demo when having DSL meant I was screaming along and kicking ass against the pitiful 56k losers. Since then it has been all downhill. Except TF2, which is great for its silliness. And pretty good balance and amazing diversity of classes.
P.P.S. I forgot to mention the technical problems, such as crashing during the intro cinematic (best part of the game), which eventually turned out to not be a driver, hardware, or anything my fault problem. And another one again later in, which might have possibly been a RAM issue, or just terrible programming. Flip a coin.

#139 Jouanah: A Hmong Cinderella (1996)
"Your daughter, not mine, must cut the wood
and cook the meals!" yelled the
stepmother.
Illustrated by O'Brien, A.S.
Once upon a time, in a "sun-splashed clearing high in the mountains of the ancient homeland of the Hmong, there lived a farmer, his wife, and beautiful girl, named Jouanah." The family worked very hard to provide for themselves, but they were very poor. They had no cow, which would have been a big help. There came a day when the man decided that he would buy one. So off the family went. But when they got to the place, " to their surprise, they found only one cow for sale, and already another man was bargaining for it." The fellow who was selling the cow now saw a chance to make a good profit, so he gathered a crowd by announcing there would be a contest. The man who could swallow a huge bowl of steaming hot soup with rice first, would be allowed to buy the cow. So both men were served, and each blew and sipped and blew some more. But the other man cheated, and when the farmer looked away, trickled some cold water into his own bowl, then drained it down. Now the family went home, downhearted and discouraged. As the walked, the mother said, "We must have a cow to plow our fields and carry the grain. Let me become a cow for awhile to help bring in the crops. You can care for me and we will all have a good life." Now her husband quite readily agreed to this. He "took three vines and wound them three times around his wife's ankles, three times around her wrists, and three times around her head. In a flash of lightening, and a clap of thunder, the wife became a cow." He took the cow home and when Jouanah ran out in delight to see the animal, her father said,
"This cow is your mother." The child did not, at first, understand. Then her father explained, and told her to lead the gentle beast out to the fields. Jouanah cried all the way. Every day, she spent in the pasture with her mother, bringing her spindle with its silken tow. She struggled with learning to spin it, so her mother, the cow, spun it upon her horns. Each day, Jouanah carried home skiens of spun silk, ready to weave into cloth for her dowry. The farm began to prosper, but now the farmer betrayed his wife. He did not restore her to her human form as he should have — instead he married another woman! The new wife was an opportunistic one, and soon settled her own daugher into Jouanah's place. She hated the strange cow that Jouanah doted on, and when she found that it spun the girl's thread, declared that she was a lazy good-for-nothing and would work harder from now on. She ordered her stepdaughter to get busy, saying to her new husband, "Your Jouanah— not my Ding— will cut the wood, cook the meals, and keep this house clean from now on." The farmer did nothing to defend his daughter. Ding sulked and dawdled all the more over the few chores she did do. One morning the stepmother said to Jouanah's father," Husband, life with you makes me so sick, I am going to die," And then she flailed around, pretending that she was really dying. When the man asked what he could do to prevent her from dying, she said,"Go to the giant dead tree at the forest's edge. Its spirit will tell you how to help me." So the man started out walking, and, as soon as he was out of the house, the wicked woman ran ahead. She climbed up the tree and hid there. When the farmer came and asked the tree what do to, she called down, in a ghostly voice,"You have a wise wife, my good man. But those rolls of thread Jouanah brings home. Burn all the thread and your wife will be healed." This seemed odd to the man, and he thought about Jouanah losing all of the cloth of her dowry, but still, he lighted the spools on fire. "They flared into a million sparks." But somehow, Jouanah brought home more each day. So Ding went out and spied on her, and told her mother that it was the cow who did the spinning. And the woman played sick again, and begged her husband to get counsel from the spirit of the tree again. This time, she moaned and groaned in the spirit's voice, and advised the man,"You have a wise wife, my good man, but only one thing can save her life. The good spirits of your ancestors demand the sacrifice of a cow. Kill the cow and your wife will not die." Well, the man did not like this advice, but neither did he trouble himself too much over it. What did he need that old cow for anyway, now that his farm was so prosperous. He would butcher it and be done. But when he went out to his farmyard, he had an unfortunate surprise: his real wife, the gentle cow, had "died of a broken heart." Her buried her in the forest, and now" night after night, Jouanah and her father sat on a log near the place where they buried the gentle cow. It was a very sad time. The birds hushed their songs. The butterflies folded their radiant wings. The despairing husband soon died, and the gentle Jouanah became even more silent." Now the stepmother had no restraint to her cruelty. She starved the girl, and kept her at her tasks all day. Even when the New Year came, and all of the people celebrated, she did not relent. On the day of the village celebration, she "called to Jouanah. 'Girl,' she ordered, see that the rice is clean and ready for dinner.' Cruelly, the stepmother had stirred thousands of tiny pebbles into the basket of rice kernels." Her stepdaughter spent two whole days picking those pebbles out again. On the morning of the third day, finished at last, Jouanah sat down with her sewing. As she put her hands in, she could feel the soft piece of cowhide she had kept. It brought a flood of images of her mother to her mind, and "suddenly, there in the basket appeared a skirt and a blouse and an apron embroidered with delicate needlework. Beneath them were a glorious headdress and two exquisite purses bordered with coins that jingled musically." Best of all was the spectacular silver necklace and collar. It glittered in the sun. The accordian skirt flared wide when she tried it on, and she spun like a brightly colored top. She heard the voice of her mother say,"My daughter, put them on and hurry to the festival!" So Jouanah did just that. She wondered if the townspeople would know who she was. All of the young men stared discreetly at her, and she blushed to see them do so. And when the wealthy and wise man Shee-Nang appeared, and started to play his flute, all the girls clustered around. But his eyes found those of Jouanah, just for a moment. Then they each looked away. Just then, Jouanah saw her stepmother and stepsister She knew then that she must return home immediately, or she would not have dinner ready in time. But in her haste, she stepped in a mud puddle, and one of her embroidered slippers was lost. She did not realize that Shee-Nang had watched her flee, or that he knew something of her life. He followed her — but it was too late. The only thing he could see was a dainty shoe, lost in the mud. He picked it up, and determined to find the girl who had lost it. His search took him from village to village, but nowhere could he find that maiden. Finally, he arrived at Jouanah's house. Of course, her stepmother pushed her daughter, Ding, before him, calling "Daughter, come!" But to her disgust, Jouanah came as well! She tried to push her away, but Shee-Nang insisted that she stay. So the stepmother decided to delay the shoe trial by inviting the man to dinner. He agreed,and soon was seated at the table. Now the woman rushed into the kitchen, and quickly fixed two different plates of food. The first was of "tasty rice with meat, and the other of dry bones and hulls." She did not light any lamps, so that the food could not be seen. She gave Jouanah the plate of hulls, and hoped no one would notice. But Shee-Nang did notice, and insisted that she light the lamps. As soon as there was light to see by, he recognized Jouanah. "No need for words; their hearts touched. The village, they knew, would bless their love." So Jouanah took the only possession she had: her mother's sewing kit, and walked out the door with Shee-Nang. Right before her stepmother's eyes "the couple disappeared into the purple shadows of the warm, fragrant night." And, "as far as anyone knows, the stepmother and the lazy Ding are still standing at the door of the house, plotting and scheming, making endless misery for only themselves." But the spirit of Jouanah's mother remained with her throughout her life.

Notes: The significance of the cow spinning is, I believe, quite important. Spinning was the only way to make enough thread to weave into cloth, so the burning of the silk thread would have been quite a serious loss. A spindle is the tool used to spin thread; tow is the bundle of raw fibers waiting to be spun.

The government has been heavilycriticised by the
admin fglhuwia July 31, 2019 No Comments
The government has been heavily-criticised by the public spending watchdog for failing to investigate how its own sanctions regime affects disabled people and other claimants of out-of-work benefits.The National Audit Office (NAO) report says the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has failed to track the costs and benefits of sanctions, including financial hardship, the impact on claimants’ mental health, and higher public spending in other areas, such as council-funded support.And it calls on DWP to conduct a “wide-ranging review” of its regime, which has led to 400,000 sanctions being applied in 2015 across four benefits: jobseeker’s allowance (JSA), employment and support allowance (ESA), universal credit and income support.DWP has previously rejected calls for a wider review, and NAO says it has also “resisted working with academic researchers and third-party organisations to explore the effect of sanctions”.DWP has even told Work Programme providers not to cooperate with government-funded research looking at the role and impact of sanctions.Only last month, the UN’s committee on the rights of persons with disabilities – in a report concluding that there had been “grave or systematic violations” of the UN’s disability convention by the UK government – pointed to a significant and “disproportionate” increase in benefit sanctions handed to ESA claimants between 2012 and 2014.The committee concluded that sanctioned claimants had faced “financial hardship, including through becoming indebted, relying on the support of relatives or on food banks or having reduced essential services”.Disabled activists have repeatedly highlighted the deaths of disabled benefit claimants they believe were linked to the government’s sanctions regime, including those of David Clapson (pictured) and Alan McArdle.DWP admitted last year that 10 of 49 benefit claimants whose deaths were subject to secret reviews by the department had had their payments sanctioned at some stage.The latest DWP figures showed a sharp rise in the number of sanctions imposed on ESA claimants, with 1,199 decisions taken to impose a sanction on an ESA claimant in May 2016, rising to 1,749 in June, compared to 900 in January.NAO says that DWP has not used sanctions consistently, that referral rates have varied “substantially” across jobcentres and providers of employment support, and that sanction numbers have “risen and fallen over time in ways that cannot be explained by changes in claimant compliance”.It also says that the use of sanctions was “not rare”, with nearly one in four JSA claimants between 2010 and 2015 being sanctioned at least once.And preliminary research carried out by NAO suggests that the use of sanctions on sick and disabled people who claim ESA actually led to a fall in the time they spent in work.NAO says that international studies show claimants who receive sanctions are more likely to secure work, but this effect can be short-lived, because people “move into work more quickly, by accepting less well-paid and sustainable work than they otherwise would have done”.Studies also suggest that sanctions encourage some claimants to become “inactive”, by stopping their claim without finding work.The watchdog has estimated that the government failed to pay £132 million in benefits in 2015 as a result of sanctions, and paid out £35 million in hardship payments to these claimants, while the cost of administering the sanctions system in 2015 was between £30 million and £50 million.Linda Burnip, co-founder of Disabled People Against Cuts (DPAC), said: “As DPAC has always said, sanctions do not help disabled people find and keep work and it is good to have this confirmed by the NAO.“How can anyone, even the dimmest of people, seriously think that someone with no money for essentials such as food, heating and sanitary products is likely to be able to pay to travel to interviews, buy clothes for interviews or have any energy to even apply for any jobs? It’s simply a ludicrous idea.”John McArdle, co-founder of Black Triangle, welcomed the NAO report and said it showed the “arbitrary” nature of the government’s sanctions regime and “confirms what we have been saying all along”.He said the sanctions regime breaches both article two (the right to life) and article six (the right to a fair trial) of the European Convention on Human Rights.McArdle said: “There is no safety protocol in place. Disabled people on ESA are being sanctioned and they are basically leaving people destitute.“It can put people in life-threatening situations. It can cause disabled people catastrophic harm in a way that it wouldn’t do to people who are not so disabled.”But McArdle said there was “not a hope in hell” that the government would agree to the NAO recommendation to carry out a wide-ranging review.He said: “The only thing that will bring this government to heel is proceedings in the criminal court.”The Liberal Democrats called on the government to look again at its “discredited” sanctions regime.The party’s leader, Tim Farron, said the report was the “Civil Service equivalent of a character assassination”.He said: “It shows that a failing department is trying to prop up a discredited system. “The DWP have turned this system [into] a postcode lottery and means that someone could be sanctioned in one place and not in another for the same thing.“What is worse is that the government are not assessing the impact of sanctions, using their own data to see what is going on and they are not even tracking the benefits.”The Liberal Democrats voted to scrap all benefit sanctions at their party conference in September.Meg Hillier, the Labour MP who chairs the Commons public accounts committee, said: “Benefit sanctions punish some of the poorest people in the country.“But despite the anxiety and misery they cause, it seems to be pot luck who gets sanctioned.“While studies suggest sanctions do encourage some people back into work, other people stop claiming but do not start working and the Department for Work and Pensions has no record of them.“If vulnerable people fall through the safety net, what happens to them?”A DWP spokeswoman said: “Sanctions are an important part of our benefits system and it is right that there is a system in place for tackling those few who do not fulfil their commitment to find work.“This report fails to recognise the improvements we have made to sanctions, particularly to help those who are vulnerable.“The number of sanctions has fallen, and they are only ever used as a last resort after people fail to do what is asked of them in return for benefits.“We will consider the recommendations, and respond fully in due course.” read more
Speaking in the Brexit debate on Monday Lisa Nand
Speaking in the Brexit debate on Monday, Lisa Nandy told the Commons that she had seen a “hardening” of attitudes towards Brexit – both among her constituents and MPs.“Constituents of mine who told me three years ago that they’d voted Leave, and they were happy to leave on whatever terms parliament deemed necessary as long as we respected the result, are now telling me daily they want to cut all ties and leave with no deal at all.“Constituents who voted to Remain, who said that we’d had the debate and the other side had won fair and square and we just had to get on with it, are now telling me they want to halt this process altogether and remain in the EU.“And I have to say that having spent a lot of time with colleagues trying to find a way through this, in here and behind the scenes, I feel exactly the same thing is happening in parliament as well.“And if we don’t start to move, they won’t start to move, and there is absolutely no prospect of repairing this country.”Unlike Gareth Snell, another ‘inbetweener’ Labour MP who campaigned to Remain but represents a Leave seat, Nandy welcomed the amendment by Oliver Letwin for ‘indicative votes’ – which passed by a majority of 27 on Monday night.Although Nandy had indicated at various times over the last few months that she would consider voting for Theresa May’s deal, she often noted that the Prime Minister had not made contact, instead preferring to pander to hard Brexiteers in the Conservative Party.The Labour MP for Wigan was also disappointed with the attempt at “bribery” in the form of a ‘Stronger Towns’ fund, and most recently by the Prime Minister’s statement last week in which she tried to “pit parliament against the people”.Towards the end of her speech, Nandy spoke passionately about the prospect of ‘no deal’ in response to minister Chris Heaton-Harris who was apparently rolling his eyes and heckling.Tags:Lisa Nandy /Brexit /Brexit debate /no deal / read more
Last Minute Gifts Simplicity Nostalgia Trending Among SF Mission Millennials
Browsing through the audio section at Dijital Fix, Christmas shopper Nick Hansen knows exactly what he is looking for — a set of headphones that will help him unplug, but that he won’t have to plug in. “I’m asking Santa for bluetooth headphones because I absolutely hate cords,” said Hansen, “they tangle.” And his headphones should be big. A graduate student in product design, Hansen said he works in a large, open office and to get work done, he often feigns being anti-social.“I want the ones that block out the noise and are nice and big to make it obvious that I don’t want to talk to anybody,” he said. 0% Tags: tech Share this: FacebookTwitterRedditemail,0% In the midst of a tech boom, a look at the Christmas shopping lists of several Missionites revealed a tech savvy generation’s desire to slow the pace of life — some prefer functionality and quality over innovation, while others are harboring a nostalgic yearning for the antique. “In terms of gadgets, portability is definitely a trend,” said Lauren Franklin, a sales associate at Dijital Fix at 820 Valencia St. This Christmas season, Franklin said her top sellers include wireless, noise-cancelling headphones and portable speakers. “A lot of people are interested in going the wireless route and are integrating that into their daily lives,” she said. Explaining that technology is also going “modular,” Franklin said her customers are increasingly looking for “things that can easily be integrated into other things.” Compact technology that is smart in terms of versatility and functionality is trending. “Having to use bluetooth for this, wifi for that, and batteries for this device, is tedious,” said Franklin. “The rule is the simpler, the better.”Aaron Levine, a design student, boasts that he has found the perfect modular Christmas gift for tech lovers, and pulled out a gadget from his pocket that resembled a hockey puck. “This is the greatest little speaker ever,” said Levine convincingly. The palm-sized tech toy is an X-Mini Two Portable Capsule Speaker — a complicated name for a miniature device with many functions. “This tiny little thing is USB rechargeable, and opens up to get more of base,” said Levine. “You can plug your headphones in here. Plus, you can daisy chain multiple capsules together if you want to get more sound. It’s a huge hit.” And for just about $10 a pop, he promises that his entire extended family will be equipped with the mini speaker this year. Clementine Breslin already has portable speakers. The millennial works at an audio online streaming platform, where she is at the source of the latest music technology. Her biggest wish for Christmas? Vinyls, cassettes, film, and other “throwback” technologies. “I grew up with iTunes and downloading music — the tactile element with this technology is nonexistent,” said Breslin, explaining that she recently began acquiring vinyls — they give her a sense of discovery and ownership she said has been lost in the digitized world. “Finding music in a dollar bin, that’s a feeling that you can’t get from downloading tunes from the internet.”Another outdated gadget that is making the retro-rounds is the cassette tape player, said Breslin. “Everyone has a reverence for the analog. Maybe not for Christmas, but walkmans will be the next wave of tech trends, I think.”Vic Pizarro works at a Mission pawn shop and said that quality technology never goes out of style. Photo By Laura WaxmannHer prediction may not be far off. Vic Pizarro, a salesman at the Pawn Shop at 2050 Mission St., said he has received a lot of Christmas gift requests for cassette tape players, walkmans, film cameras and transistor radios. “There are people out there that just want to listen to a radio without separate speakers and all of that other nonsense,” said Pizarro. “Even kids these days want something physical to hold on to. They come into my store and want the “toys” their parents had. Some of these gadgets look better, sound better, feel better.” As toymaker Paul Long of DIY.org, a digital education company headquartered at 3360 20th St., muses on the longevity of tech trends, he offers advice for parents planning to place tech toys under their Christmas trees.“Buy things that either inspire or are lasting,” he said. “We can’t ignore technology, but the things we buy for our children should have some substance beyond the interface.” Back at Dijital Fix, Breslin selects her Christmas gift, and points to a $200 polaroid camera.“I still have a couple of those rattling around the trunk of my car,” said her father, Eric, smiling. “I guess it’s true what they say, that everything that’s old is new again, eventually.” read more

SAINTS got their Super League season off to the fl
SAINTS got their Super League season off to the flying start with a 30-16 win over Huddersfield Giants.Luke Walsh drove the show with a hand in all five tries – Mark Percival profiting twice from the scrum half deft play.He was backed by Jordan Turner, the strong running Atelea Vea and the go forward of Kyle Amor in appalling conditions.Keiron Cunningham’s charges mastering the rainy weather ahead of their opponents.After a tame opening Saints won back to back penalties and profited through a lovely piece of play from Jon Wilkin.A link move from Walsh and Turner won the home side the momentum and then the captain slotted an inch perfect kick through for Percival to touch down.Huddersfield threatened to hit back on 10 minutes – but Wilkin intercepted – and then had another two sets on Saints’ line.Adam Swift was then unlucky not to catch a stray pass and from the scrum Aaron Murphy levelled up matters.The Giants threatened more points as the half progressed – Saints defending like their lives depended on it.Wilkin threatened with another chip over the top but once Makinson failed to deal with a lengthy kick from Brough, Cunningham’s men were under pressure once more.And desperate to put points on the board Huddersfield dropped the ball.Saints made them regret that decision. A high tackle in midfield saw them gain possession and following strong runs from Dominique Peyroux, Amor and Turner, Walsh slipped a wonderful kick through to Vea.The second rower’s pick up matching the wonderful skill of his scrum half.Walsh was having an excellent game and another chip over to the corner – and the pressure from Makinson – saw the Giants spill the ball.Saints returned the favour though and moments later the visitors were back down Saints’ end looking for points.Ball handling was proving to be an issue but not for Walsh.He drove Saints into excellent field position once again and following a strong run from Savelio, Percival crossed over thanks to Jack Owens’ pass.Saints defended back to back penalties on their own line and went in 16-4 to the good.The second half began like the first – strong kicks, driving down the middle and playing for field position.Walsh almost unlocked the door on 46 minutes with another superb kick – Saints gaining a drop out.And from there they scored – Jordan Turner crossing on an angle and showing his strength.Walsh then kicked the extras and Saints looked home and dry.But a three penalties in a short spell handed the impetus back to the Giants; a slide rule kick giving Ukuma Ta’ai a simple put down.Saints weathered the storm and then restored their advantage.A simple Walsh kick was knocked back by Louie McCarthy-Scarsbrook and scooped up by Luke Thompson.With 10 minutes to go the Giants received a huge slice of luck and it opened up the game as a result.They were adjudged to have kicked a 40:20 when it was clear the ball left the boot well after the ’40’ and then Jake Connor put down a kick right under the sticks.The West Stand suggesting he didn’t ground it.But Walsh kicked a penalty with three minutes to go to settle the nerves and claim the points.Match Summary:Saints:Tries: Percival (2), Vea, Turner, ThompsonGoals: Walsh (5 from 6)Giants:Tries: Murphy, Ta’ai, ConnorGoals: Brough (2 from 3)Penalties:Saints: 8Giants: 9HT: 16-4FT: 30-16REF: R HicksATT: 10,408Teams:Saints: 22.

We have sold over 5,500 tickets for the big clash with more tickets still available in the East stand for any fans still wishing to purchase last minute tickets.Justin Holbrook revealed his 19 man squad earlier today and during the press conference said that he would assess the fitness of Theo Fages following the injury he sustained in the win over Hull KR.“We are OK [injury wise]. I am not sure on Theo Fages, we will see how he looks later in the week, but everyone else is fine.”On the opposite side, Wigan Head Coach Adrian Lam also revealed that they will assess the fitness of Sean O’Loughlin too ahead of the game.Holbrook was asked about Wigan’s recent run of in-different form, but admitted both teams will be on top of their game when it comes to Derby Day.“It is definitely [the biggest game]. Saints vs Wigan is massive for everyone given both sets of fans and the history. It is a massive day and we are looking forward to it.“They are as dangerous as any other side in the comp on their day. They might not be happy where they are sitting after 10 rounds, but we have certainly seen what they are capable of.“In any sport, in any derby, the two sides want to win more than everything. It doesn’t matter where both teams are in the table, both sides are prepared to play at their best and it will be no different on Friday.”Hardaker labeled the game ‘like a final’ and his opposite number Coote is well aware of the hostile environment he will come up against on Good Friday.“It was a great atmosphere [in round one]. Justin warned me about it being hostile and I am expecting nothing different this week. I am really excited to see what it is going to be like.”He was also asked about his start to life at the Saints as well as his reaction to the love the Saints fans have shown him.“I am enjoying it since I have been at the club, it has been awesome. We have a great bunch of blokes and playing behind the forwards makes my life much easier.“It was a pretty emotional night against Warrington, walking around with that atmosphere. To think where I was at last year, thinking I was coming to the end of my career but coming to the Saints really got me firing again and finding the love for the game again.” read more

The ever-changing pace of technology influencing the Utilities landscape
The energy sector is poised for significant change as renewable (e.g. wind and solar) and energy storage (e.g. batteries) become more prevalent. Increased use of renewable resources, driven by policy standards coupled with price reductions and technology advances are changing the 125 year old industry. Similar to the computing disruption of mainframes to servers in the 1980s, this is now happening to the energy sector and we call it Distributed Generation. For example, rooftop solar produces energy at the source of consumption verses a large, centralized power plant many miles away from consumption. Although the computing and energy industries are very different, the notion of producing power, especially at the consumer point of use, has both benefits and challenges that the industry is starting to understand. Similar to the disruptive computing era, the energy sector will learn how to manage hybrid centralized-decentralized models, which I believe brings tremendous opportunities for the CIO and their teams.
"Every day is different, every day you learn and every day you get the chance to make a difference"
We have all witnessed the power of the consumer in their use of mobile smart phones. It was not long ago that the iPhone changed the way we communicated and became the platform for tens of thousands of applications that are downloaded at will by the consumer. Let’s think about the implications of consumers controlling their power consumption, especially if they are producing power via their rooftop solar or battery systems. What do they do with excess power generated? Do they have the option to sell it back to a utility? At what price and is there time of day pricing? What about demand management incentives? Regardless of the specific answers to these questions, I believe applications will be the underlying solution, and, begs the question, what is the implication to utility companies. Do they become a “virtual” utility, meaning they begin to broker in the “cloud” energy from consumers and deliver power where needed? Again, sounds like an application to me. So, as CIOs and their teams better understand the dynamics at play, they are well positioned to help their business partners build services for consumers. Another analogy I like to reference is the experience of telephone companies. Who would have thought in the early 2000s that phone companies would be streaming video and now vying for content? History routinely repeats itself, and I wish I knew the answer to what a utility can become, but it is certainly going to look different a decade from now.
I see both the disruptive nature of computing and telecommunications as good barometers for what is now happening to the energy sector. While both industries copied many of the early success elements of the energy industry (centralized models), they eventually realized that technology and consumer behavior would change their models and they learned how to adopt a centralized-decentralized system. That said, for computing, there are still mainframes (but not as prevalent) and there is still a large back-bone computing and moving data around the world, but both needed to fundamentally think differently about their business models and how to make it all work seamlessly. For the energy sector, we too will figure this out and only doing so by thinking outside the box and investing in the right technologies at the right time.
Changing role of CIOs
Indeed the role of the CIO has gone through many transformations and I believe this trend will continue. Technology and new business challenges drive these changes and how fortunate we are as CIOs to never have a routine day. I recall decades ago when knowing all the intricacies of how a data center worked was the key to becoming a CIO. Nowadays, I rarely meet a CIO who has such intimate knowledge and I am not sure these are even questions asked anymore of a CIO. From my experience, the role has shifted to more than just knowing about technology – it is knowing the product and services of your company in detail and then determining how technology can be leveraged.
And, more importantly, it isn’t about reacting to technology needs but proactively sharing the art of the possible.
My personal journey over the past few years has been rather exciting, as I was given responsibilities beyond those of a CIO. I am fortunate to work for a progressive CEO who allowed me the opportunity to take on additional global responsibility, including: cyber security, insurance of our physical assets, internal audit, corporate facilities and our new energy solutions group, which is focused on energy storage and solar. Each of these teams are critical to the company’s success and while you may see this as a diverse set of teams, we view each of these functions as service organizations focused on providing value-added services to our colleagues at corporate and at our businesses around the world. In addition to these functions, I also have the privilege of being a member of the Executive Leadership Team (ELT) and help to manage our innovation and technology efforts for the company, which include a Committee of our Board. As a member of the ELT, we develop the company’s strategy and are responsible for the investment decisions. This activity alone represents 20-30 percent of my time and the innovation efforts about 10-20 percent, so on average I have 50 percent to spend on the other functions.
Getting used to letting go of my traditional CIO role wasn’t easy, however I eventually realized by doing so that I would give others the opportunity to step-up. Fortunately, I have two leaders who could not be more perfect to step into the Deputy CIO role (Hugo Vasquez) and CISO role (Scott Goodhart). Both are mature, highly experienced leaders who make it easy for me to let go. What’s fun now, is that we focus more on strategy together vs. me being in the weeds. We discuss the bigger picture and the future more than when I was focused heavily in both their areas. I do believe this benefits us all and allows us to delegate more to future leaders.
I am often asked how do I manage this broad spectrum of responsibility and my answer is easy:when you have a great team and leaders who are really good at what they do, then you can focus on strategy, quality time with your peers, your CEO, your Board and engage in external interactions. In the big scheme, it is certainly a challenge, but a good one. Every day is different, every day you learn and every day you get the chance to make a difference. Honestly, I can’t imagine a better job to have.

20/20’s Matt Gutman, Dateline’s Josh Mankiewicz Participate In Very Different Sessions at Virtual CrimeCon
NEXT:Fox News’ Streaming Service Hosts the Second Annual Patriot Awards
PREVIOUS:Newsmax CEO Chris Ruddy Talks Ratings, Making Plans for a Biden Administration, Catching Up to Fox News and More
ABC | Events | NBC
By A.J. Katz on Nov. 23, 2020 - 1:39 PM Comment
This year’s CrimeCon was cleverly named House Arrest. Despite the unique nature of the event (it was a virtual affair taking place on Saturday, Nov. 21), one thing didn’t change: Participation by ABC’s 20/20 and Dateline NBC.
20/20’s session, Growing Up Buttafuoco, featuring a conversation between ABC News’ chief national correspondent Matt Gutman and Jessie Buttafuoco, daughter of Mary Jo and Joey Buttafuoco. Nearly three decades ago then 17-year-old Amy Fisher – dubbed Long Island Lolita by the media – shot Jessie’s mother, Mary Jo, on her front porch following an affair with Jessie’s father, Joey.
The ordeal was a focus of a 2-hour 20/20 last year.
During the session, Buttafuoco told Gutman about her unbelievable journey, reflecting on the tragic shooting that turned into a tabloid media sensation, her mom’s recovery, overcoming and surviving the media scrutiny, persevering despite the odds, and her life today.
Gutman: We [cover] a lot of crime at ABC and I’ve spoken to too many victims of crime. And you weren’t the person who was shot, but your life, as you knew it, certainly was destroyed and certainly scarred for at least till today, 27 years later. Do you consider yourself a victim? Do you consider yourself just collateral damage? How does work in your mind?
Buttafuoco : A little bit of both. It’s weird being infamous by association. Because nothing I did got me to that place, but somehow everybody knows my name. For me, it’s very different because I live it every day and I’m triggered by something every day. For a long time it was the doorbell. If someone’s coming over ringing that doorbell that I didn’t know who it was. I have panic attacks because I was raised, “Don’t answer the door to people you don’t know because you might get shot.” And like, that was real. It happened to my mom. So I developed all these kinds of phobias and I was terribly afraid all the time that someone was going to kidnap me or come and shoot me a random act of violence.
She continued:
But what people don’t see is that I’m the one changing her [Mary Jo’s] bandages at home. I’m the one cleaning out her blood tubes and make in making sure she doesn’t get infected and sleeping over her house and making sure she’s okay and medications, that kind of stuff. And that’s the kind of role that I’ve had to have my entire life. And including not just the medical aspect of it, because my mom has had many surgeries over the years that I’ve been the one to be the caretaker for. On top of that, this incident, my parents got divorced.
I’ve had to go through that. I’ve had to move across country. Like this situation has created a lot of turmoil in my life that I’ve had no control over. It’s weird being the kid of it. Because my perspective was a lot different than what everyone else saw my parents like on TV. And so, it was almost a mind “F”…
While 20/20 was on “Stage two,” rival Dateline was on “Stage one,” as correspondent Josh Mankiewicz participated in the Dateline Deep Dish session.
Dubbed “honorary Mayor of CrimeCon,” Mankiewicz surprised true-crime fans by participating live in “Mystery Mingle,” where attendees were randomly paired with other attendees, roulette-style. True crime superfan and food guru Lisa Lillien (a.k.a. Hungry Girl) taught the NBC Newser how to cook up an easy, and healthy recipe. (OK, it was actually Chocolate Peanut Butter Cake.) Lillen asked Mankiewicz questions about the 29th season of Dateline, as he jokingly noted while measuring ingredients: “One of the reasons I became a reporter 45 years ago was that I was told that there wasn’t going to be any math.”
In a Saturday evening CrimeCon session, Dateline’s Keith Morrison was interviewed by Mankiewicz about his new upcoming true crime podcast.
As of now, CrimeCon 2021 is set to be an in-person event, taking place on Friday, June 4-Sunday, June 6 at the Fairmont Austin in Austin, Texas.

Imagining the Kingdom
How Worship Works
by: James K. A. Smith
series: Cultural Liturgies
How does worship work? How exactly does liturgical formation shape people? And how does the Spirit marshal the dynamics of such transformation? In the second of James K. A. Smith's three-volume theology of culture, the author expands and deepens the analysis of cultural liturgies and Christian worship he developed in his acclaimed Desiring the Kingdom. Drawing on the work of Maurice Merleau-Ponty and Pierre Bourdieu, this book helps readers understand and appreciate the bodily basis of habit formation and how liturgical formation--both "secular" and Christian--affects one's fundamental orientation to the world. Worship "works" by leveraging one's body to transform his or her imagination, and it does this through stories understood on a register that is closer to body than mind. This has critical implications for thinking about the nature of Christian formation and the role of the arts in Christian mission.
Students of philosophy, liturgical studies, and theology will welcome this work as will scholars, pastors, worship leaders, and Christian educators. Imagining the Kingdom includes analyses of popular films, novels, and other cultural phenomena, such as The King's Speech, Rise of the Planet of the Apes, David Foster Wallace's Infinite Jest, the iPhone, and Facebook.
Introduction: A Sentimental Education: On Christian Action

3. "We Tell Ourselves Stories in Order to Live": How Worship Works
4. Restor(y)ing the World: Christian Formation for Mission
"Imagining the Kingdom is a fit successor to Jamie Smith's remarkable Desiring the Kingdom. The new book is, like its predecessor, learned but lively, provocative but warmhearted, a manifesto and a guide. Smith takes Christians deeper into the artistic, imaginative, and practical resources on which we must draw if we wish to renew not only our minds but also our whole beings in Christ."
Alan Jacobs, Honors College of Baylor University
"In this wonderfully rich and engagingly readable book of 'liturgical anthropology,' Smith makes a persuasive case for the thesis that human beings are best understood as worshiping animals. It has important implications at once for practical theology's reflection on religious formation, liturgy, and pedagogy and for philosophical theorizing about just what religion is. And it develops as an engaging and lively conversation among an astonishing mix of people: imagine Calvin, Proust, Merleau-Ponty, Augustine, Wendell Berry, Bourdieu, and David Foster Wallace all in the same room really talking to each other about being human and how to think about it!"
David Kelsey, Luther A. Weigle Professor of Theology Emeritus, Yale Divinity School
"This book is a thought-provoking, generative reflection on the imagination-shaping power of Christian worship practices. Smith describes and demonstrates how practices, perceptions, emotions, and thought interact and how together they can be shaped in cruciform ways. What an ideal book for crossing boundaries among academic disciplines and between the academy and the church."
John D. Witvliet, Calvin Institute of Christian Worship, Calvin College, and Calvin Theological Seminary
"Jamie Smith shows us that the gospel does not primarily happen between our ears but in all the movements of the body by which we are formed and in turn form the world. I know of no more thorough and sophisticated account of how secular liturgies form and deform us and how Christian liturgies can help. Though sophisticated, Smith's book is also a delight. Its pages are filled with great poetry and insights from films, novels, and everyday life. Smith shows how we encounter God with our whole selves and how God carries us even when we don't know what is going on."
William T. Cavanaugh, senior research professor, DePaul University
"It is heartening to set one's eyes on Jamie Smith's bold and creative endeavor to awaken Christians, Protestants in particular, to the centrality of worship in even, nay especially, our moral lives. Smith's acute insight into the false and lying stories and liturgies generated by the dominant powers of our economy makes his case for a reclamation of worship within the churches compelling; for this thoughtful book is rightly concerned with a restoration of the Christian imagination rooted in habits of virtue."

"Arguing that we are guided primarily by imagination, which is primed through the conduit of the body, Smith maintains that the structure of church liturgies matter deeply in providing a counterweight to the liturgies of self-centeredness promoted in the larger culture. . . . Smith uses literature, poetry, philosophy, and film to make a compelling case that it would behoove churches and seminaries to attend more closely to imagination and aesthetics rather than doctrine as central to developing an other-oriented Christian desire."
"[Smith] vivifies his discussion by analyzing contemporary literature, film, and human creativity as catalysts for worldview transformation. . . . Smith addresses both academic and more popular concerns in relation to his broader definition of liturgy. . . . An important book that may have wide appeal among serious readers in relation to secular education as well as Christian transformation."
Carolyn Craft,
"We find Smith's argument largely persuasive and helpful. . . . Smith provokes readers to question the habits of the Christian university, particularly as a part of the larger body of Christ. . . . Smith's assertion that we are embodied social beings embedded in our culture has very practical implications for all college personnel. . . . We take Smith's claims in Imagining the Kingdom seriously in informing our 'work' in partnering with God in kingdom work. We are called to be faithful stewards--cultivating good soil receptive to the work of the Holy Spirit. Smith reminds us how to cultivate good soil, but ultimately, it is the Holy Spirit who infuses and changes lives."
Jesse Covington, Maurice Lee, Sarah Skripsky, and Lesa Stern,
"The most influential example of public theology in the last decade."
John Wilson,
"There is much to welcome in Smith's advocacy for the 'formative practices of intentional Christian worship.' Not least among the implications of this is the re-engagement of the body in practices of reverence at a time when there is less and less habituated knowledge of what to do when we pray. The third volume promises to be an interesting continuation of some of the issues not quite resolved in this lively work."
Bridget Nichols,
"A provocative contribution to theological anthropology, ecclesiology, and liturgical studies. . . . Imagining the Kingdom prompts readers to wrestle with the staying power of Christian formation in people's bodily lives. Scholars and church leaders concerned with theological anthropology, liturgy, or Christian education will benefit most from this book."
Jodi L. A. Belcher,
Anglican Theological Review
"Imagining the Kingdom is ambitious in its attempt to develop a new conversation between Merleau-Ponty, Bourdieu, and theological anthropology in a way that is accessible to the nonspecialist, and it succeeds in advancing the scholarly conversation, and offering a theory of liturgical formation that will doubtless be of great interest to some practitioners. . . . Smith is to be applauded for inhabiting this 'between' space as successfully as he does here."
Orion Edgar,
Modern Theology
"This is a demanding but rewarding book, far-reaching in argument, with conclusions that demand attention and deserve consideration. Not a quick read--it wants to get under the skin, to lodge there and work powerfully on how we nurture and live out of our imaginations. Smith's argument, while sustained throughout, weaves widely and roams suggestively across his four main chapters. Being the second volume in a projected trilogy, this scope is expected and welcome. . . . I came away persuaded liturgies and pedadogies must address desire and formation, not simply knowledge and information. My formational practices are more intentional as a result. This book will feed teachers, church leaders, artists, and ordinary Christians. Hopefully, it will inspire more liturgists, broadly understood. . . . My imagination is engaged by [this book], and hungry for the finale of Smith's stimulating trilogy."
Matthew Sleeman,
"The second volume of this three-part series of 'cultural liturgies' has been highly anticipated. . . . Smith's opportunities of imaginative musings give readers the chance to study in such a way that it is more in line with the topic of study, so that reading itself becomes a type of practice. . . . Smith forces non-specialized readers to read slowly and carefully, dwelling in their expositions, drawing on repeated themes from volume one in order to make even the reading of his book more like a practice: drawing us into the argument by appealing to the imagination more than the intellect. . . . Readers who enjoyed Desiring the Kingdom will appreciate hearing more of Smith's insights. It is possible to read volume two without having read the first volume, but I would guess reading them in order would situate the reader better."
Jasmine Smart,
Englewood Review of Books
"I don't know if I've ever left a book more dog-eared and battered in less time than James K. A. Smith's Imagining the Kingdom. Like his previous work, Desiring the Kingdom, Smith covers an immense amount of territory in an economy of well-written pages. Phenomenology, anthropology, theology, culture, art, poetry, liturgy, literature, Downton Abbey, and David Foster Wallace are all discussed with coherence. . . . As a pastor of worship and one who enjoys reading philosophy, I absolutely loved this book. Smith profoundly underlines the importance of the practices of the gathered church, while offering salient critiques of much of the contemporization of those practices. . . . Smith challenges, entertains, and worships in his writing. He leaves the reader with a vision for humanity and worship that is at once humbling and wondrous."--Mike Cosper, The Gospel Coalition
Mike Cosper,
"Smith provides an excellent metaphysical look at worship."
Warren Anderson,
Worship Leader
"Imagining the Kingdom is relevant and compelling. It may be challenging for practitioners, but is worth the work, as it will likely have an impact on how they think about leading and structuring worship. . . . If [scholars] keep their eyes to the footnotes, there is great fodder for deeper exploration of relevant scholarship. . . . Smith's sources are broad and varied, ranging from French theorists to pop-culture. However, his treatment is very coherent and his thesis is always in view. . . . Smith makes a strong argument for the formative power of worship practices, and effectively communicates the importance of capturing our imagination in them."
Matthew Overby,
Journal of Spiritual Formation & Soul Care
"This is an excellent book, a profound theological evaluation of worship. It should be required reading for every pastor or minister, especially those who lead worship. But any Christian worshipper will find the insights challenging, stimulating, and encouraging. . . . Read this book."
Glenn R. Kreider,
"Smith has delivered yet another well-argued and provocative thesis. Even if one does not agree with each and every one of his answers . . . the questions, and the answers, merit serious consideration. . . . Recommended for practitioners comfortable with philosophical language, as well as scholars interested in conversations of embodiment and worship."
Christopher R. Brewer,
"Imagining the Kingdom will be familiar to those of us who have followed Smith's important arguments. He has a lot of proverbial irons in the fire--speaking and teaching and writing on all manner of things--they are of a piece, for those with Biblical ears to hear. . . . Smith covers a lot of ground. . . . Not too many serious philosophers are as familiar with early church sources as well as contemporary Pentecostal thinkers, are conversant with Reformed theologians (older and newer, stricter and looser) and are in ecumenical discussions with, say, Church of England leaders and Orthodox theologians--and have such interests in civic life and public justice. . . . This is one heckuva book. Praise God for such a serious scholar doing this caliber of work, with such a vast horizon of interest."
Byron Borger,
Hearts & Minds Books blog
"Both Desiring the Kingdom and Imagining the Kingdom offer a helpful critique of the intellectualist model of Christian discipleship. . . . Smith rightfully points to the way human beings work, mostly on an intuitive level, and guides the reader to the conclusion that this area of human knowledge, the imagination, must be cultivated and shaped along with the intellect in order to form the entire person for Christ. . . . Smith's work is one with which all theologians and pastors ought to wrestle. On an academic level, Smith's articulation of how knowledge and formation work is convincing, and should shape conversations about epistemology, discipleship, and worship practices. On a pastoral level, Smith's case is seemingly airtight for reflecting on worship practices. . . . Smith's work provides insightful critiques of modern culture and the implicit liturgies in them. . . . I could not recommend Smith's book more highly to both theologians and pastors. He is a phenomenal writer and a careful thinker, and his argument is one that must be dealt with by those seeking to understand 'How Worship Works.'"
Matthew Y. Emerson,
"Pastors and educators will benefit from the ways in which this book helps readers reflect on important questions. The book also offers a helpful, accessible introduction to French philosophy and creatively integrates film and fiction into the theological conversation."
Paul Galbreath,
"Smith's work is stimulating academically, providing rich and complex fodder for our reflections on worship and Christian formation. . . . There can be nothing more wonderful than stimulating theological reflection that also orients us towards the deepest possibilities and experiences of the Christian faith. I dare to suggest that Smith's work has been that encounter for many of us. . . . Smith's work gets us up close and better able to read real worship practices. . . . The possibilities for using Smith to understand the social practices of any kind of group or people are immediately evident. I suspect there will be many fruitful future PhDs that undertake the reading of communities, with Smith, that allow us to better understand what is really 'working' and taking place in those communities."
Jason Clark,
The Church & Postmodern Culture blog
"[An] accessible, lively book. . . . [Smith] means to subordinate the twin temptations of theological dogmatism and subjectivism with a rigorous, embodied sense of the centrality of the imagination for our knowing and living in the world. . . . The book is packed with vivid examples and strong use of movies and literature. . . . Smith's book should also be required reading for ethicists, because he has such a deft touch in describing what amounts to Aristotelian virtue, but in a non-mechanistic way that (more than Thomas does) appreciates the 'environmental education' of cultural imagination and sensibility. . . . Smith's project makes accessible and less polemical a view that pushes us beyond modern dichotomies of interior/exterior, individual/community, body/mind, theory/practice to a richer understanding of what Christian identity really means. Instead of simply vilifying one or the other term in the dichotomy, he develops language that helps us escape from our own conceptual dead-ends. That he does so in just over 200 pages, with consistently engaging examples and stories, is particularly impressive."
David Cloutier,
Catholic Books Review
"Books by Jamie Smith are always engaging, thoughtful, provocative and enlightening. But what I love most is that for every confusing, obscure French philosopher he quotes, there is a contemporary example from film, music, or literature to drive home the main point."
Derek Melleby,
College Transition Initiative blog (named Imagining the Kingdom one of the "Top 10 Books for 2013")
"Smith's follow-up to Desiring the Kingdom continues a provocative and immensely helpful exploration of the meaning of worship and the shaping influence of 'cultural liturgies' in the Christian life. The book offers an important corrective for an evangelicalism that has seen worldview and thinking Christianly as the most important elements of Christian formation; Smith argues that the embodied practices of life (he skillfully interacts with Bourdieu's notion of habitus) are at least as important (or more) in shaping our desires for Christ and his kingdom."
Brett McCracken,
The Search blog (named Imagining the Kingdom one of the Best Books of 2013)
"[A] great book. . . . Having critiqued in the first volume [Desiring the Kingdom] the rather thin habits of most Christian congregations, and warned of the formative influences of the seemingly more substantial secular litanies, [Smith] now turns to how true Christian worship can, in fact, help turn us into robust Christians who live for Christ in all areas of life. . . . While I am aware . . . that this is a particularly demanding and at times even obtuse work, it is none-the-less of extraordinary importance. This book should be widely known among us, widely read, struggled with, studied, and lived out. It, is, like its predecessor, truly one of the most important books published in this decade."
Hearts & Minds Books blog (named Imagining the Kingdom the "Best Academic Book of 2013")
"There is much in this latest installation of Smith's Cultural Liturgies series that is commendable. Overall, Smith clearly expresses his argument and builds a strong case for the potency of the liturgies that surround us, the liturgical animals. In doing so, the reader is introduced to the important work of Maurice Merleau-Ponty and Pierre Bourdieu. By the end of the book the reader will have a better feel for the importance of these early and exciting conversations in the philosophy of liturgy. Moreover, this book is thoughtfully organized. . . . I look forward to Smith's forthcoming third volume. It will undoubtedly be pedagogically rich, insightful, and challenging. Joining academicians and practitioners (hopefully the former are part of the latter) is no easy project, but he does it well. And thus far Smith has done an exemplary job in helping lead the way in this burgeoning conversation on liturgical anthropology."
Jonathan S. Marko,
Calvin Theological Journal
"In this second volume the author continues a practice initiated in the first [Desiring the Kingdom], namely, enhancing his argument by providing illustrative sidebars throughout. These elucidating asides . . . are comprised variously of apt anecdotes, pertinent poetry, and telling literary excerpts or cinematic analyses. . . . The eschatological implications of Smith's work are a welcome alternative to destructive or totally futuristic 'end visions.'. . . We may eagerly await [the third volume.]"
William H. Petersen,
"Imagining the Kingdom has been much anticipated by those captured by the author's first volume in this series on Cultural Liturgies, Desiring the Kingdom, which provided a rich, stimulating reflection on Christian education and Christian formation. . . . Imagining the Kingdom continues in the same trajectory, providing an expanded account and more robust vision of our being-in-the-world as embodied, liturgical, habituated, imagining creatures. At the heart of Smith's critique in both volumes is the inadequate view that humans are fundamentally motivated by what they think and the intellectualist world of ideas. . . . While the bias towards humans as first of all thinking beings is difficult to break, Smith is tenacious in providing an account where thinking comes second to 'bodily interaction with the world.'"
Irma Fast Dueck,
Conrad Grebel Review
"[This volume] invite[s] serious reflection on what Christian churches and schools can do to help shape citizens of the kingdom of God."
Don Wacome,
"An engaging book of 'liturgical anthropology.'. . . Scholarly spirituality studies libraries will relish the philosophical discussions."
"This persuasive and insightful book consolidates Smith's position as one of the leading voices in current conversations on the cultural significance of theology. This book should be studied with interest and profit, particularly by pastors and teachers who are concerned about how imaginative liturgical practice can contribute to the reinvigoration of worship and spiritual formation in our churches and theological colleges."
Joshua Searle,
Regent's Reviews
"The text illuminates abstract ideas so that they can be grappled with on a practical level. . . . Smith wrote this book for scholars and practitioners alike. In keeping with his intention, the text is not an easy or quick read. It is, however, very useful for those who desire a deeper treatment of how worship, culture, and imagination are interdependent."
Callie Campbell,
"Smith dives into the deep waters of philosophy, but the diligent reader will find a discussion of formation and re-formation that should alter and elevate their view of both personhood and ministry."
Daniel Stember,
"[Smith] deftly bridges the academy and the church--the full footnotes provide the academic support for the arguments and the vignettes provide a more concrete view. Thus, the main text is interspersed with helpful examples utilizing films such as Rise of the Planet of the Apes, Jane Campion's Bright Star, The King's Speech and novels like David Foster Wallace's Infinite Jest and Nicholson Baker's The Mezzanine. . . . His is a transformative approach. This liturgical anthropology Smith develops is important not only for academics but for all Christian educators, from infant through to postgraduate level, as well as for pastors and church worship leaders. . . . I look forward to the third part of this so-far excellent trilogy."
Steve Bishop,
An Accidental Blog
"[Smith] believes that formation for Christian action, like training for any other activity, requires practice. . . . Imagining the Kingdom, the second of the three part series after Desiring the Kingdom, does an admirable job continuing the conversation about practice. . . . Smith is a refreshingly unpredictable read. . . . For the patient reader, Smith is actually an able communicator of abstruse theoretical subjects, and even a rough understanding of these philosophers will expand one's intellectual toolbox."

US Mueller Politics Analysis (Lon NR)
AP Analysis: At the end of the Mueller process
Adam Schiff , Robert Mueller , Donald Trump , Eric Swalwell , Jerrold Nadler , Nancy Pelosi , Jair Bolsonaro , Michael Cohen
Elaine Kamarck, of the Brookings Institution says "we're pretty much at the end of this process" as she discussed the next steps in the special prosecutors Russia probe.
Kamarack, Senior fellow in the Governance Studies program as well as the Director of the Center for Effective Public Management , said on Tuesday that "The only thing that really seems to remain is whether or not the president himself is guilty of some crimes and do those crimes constitute in the minds of the members of Congress, high crimes and misdemeanors."
In a related story The Associated Press reports that President Donald Trump has been calling the Russia probe a witch hunt for two years.
But now, Trump and his allies are starting to see it as something potentially very different: a political opportunity.
Trump has grown increasingly confident that special counsel Robert Mueller's report will produce no clear evidence of a conspiracy between Russia and his election campaign.
A change is also underway among congressional Democrats, who had believed the report would offer damning evidence
Kamarack says "We're at a point where this is about to move unless there's some you know smoking gun. This is this investigation is about to move from the legal to the political and there the Democrats are going to have to decide do we move forward with impeachment."

2. SOUNDBITE (English) Elaine Kamarck, Senior Fellow Brookings Institution:
"It's not often that a president is subject to a special counsel and that means often that the findings of a special counsel could lead to something very dramatic like impeachment. Or it could just turn out to be a bunch of nothing. And so everybody was interested in this. Everybody was excited about it. The president himself was furious about it. But this is a big deal. We don't generally have investigations like this of sitting presidents."
3. Side shot of Trump speaking
"The only thing that really seems to remain is whether or not the president himself is guilty of some crimes and do those crimes constitute in the minds of the members of Congress, high crimes and misdemeanors, which is the constitutional issue for impeachment, and so we're sort of down to the end game here. I mean it looks like there was a rapid string of indictments, trials, etc. It's possible that one or more of the president's children or in-laws could get indicted but it's, we're pretty much at the end of this process."
5. Trump speaking
"The issue, though, is did the House and Senate, did the intelligence committees when they were controlled by Republicans ignore important pieces of evidence? The Democrats think they did. And so the Democrats will have to start their own investigation. They may find nothing as well."

This is this investigation is about to move from the legal to the political and there, the Democrats are going to have to decide do we move forward with impeachment? Now, Nancy Pelosi has said, wisely I think, that probably not that. There's just not unless there's some blockbuster finding in the Muller report or someplace else. Probably not because bet we're almost at 2020. Let, it's cleaner, easier for democracy to let the voters decide."

"This investigation has taken place simultaneously with a very chaotic presidency and with a separate investigation into Donald Trump's business empire. Now it may not be impeachable to be a corrupt businessman. All you have to do is look at the Deutsche Bank story in today's (New York) Times and you can see that that's that's going to be a big story. But maybe it's not impeachable but it sure isn't desirable."

US Barr Senate 5 (NR LON)
AG Barr, Senate Dems spar over Mueller report
William Barr , Robert Mueller , Kamala Harris , Donald Trump , Richard Blumenthal , Hillary Clinton , Amy Klobuchar , Cory Booker
Private tensions between Justice Department leaders and Robert Mueller's team broke into public view in extraordinary fashion Wednesday as Attorney General William Barr pushed back at the special counsel's "snitty" complaints over his handling of the Trump-Russia investigation report.
Testifying for the first time since releasing Mueller's report, Barr said he was surprised Mueller did not reach a conclusion on whether President Donald Trump had tried to obstruct justice, and that he had felt compelled to step in with his own judgment that the president had committed no crime.
Barr was also perturbed by a private letter Mueller sent him last month complaining that the attorney general had not properly portrayed the special counsel's finding.
Barr called the note "a bit snitty."
"I said 'Bob, what's with the letter? Just pick up the phone and call me if there is an issue,'" Barr said.
The airing of disagreements over the handling of the report followed Mueller's two-year investigation into Russian interference to help Trump in the 2016 campaign and the possibility that Trump's team conspired with the Russians.
During most of the investigation, the Justice Department and Mueller's team seemed to be unified in approach.
Republican and Democratic lawmakers have been anything but unified.
And their partisan divide was on full display during Wednesday's contentious Judiciary Committee hearing, which included three Democratic presidential candidates.
Some Republicans, in addition to defending Trump, focused on the president's 2016 Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton's email and campaign practices and what they argued has been a lack of investigation of them.
Democrats, for their part, moved to exploit the daylight between Barr and Mueller to attack the attorney general's credibility and accuse him of unduly spinning the special counsel's report in the president's favor.
Barr sought to minimize the rift by suggesting the special counsel's concerns were largely about process, not substance.
Barr's appearance gave him his most extensive opportunity to explain the department's actions, including his news conference held before the Mueller report's release.
Barr has also been invited to appear Thursday before the Democratic-led House Judiciary panel, but the Justice Department has said he would not testify if the committee insisted on having its lawyers question him.
Neither side broke much new ground Wednesday on the specifics of Mueller's investigation, though Barr did articulate a robust defense of Trump as he made clear his firm conviction that there was no prosecutable case against the president for obstruction of justice.

"We right now have a new normal in our country. We have a document that shows over 200 hundred attempts, connections between a presidential campaign and a foreign adversary sharing information that would be illegal if you did it with a super PAC. We know that. (Barr: What information was shared?) The polling data was shared sir. It's in the report I can cite you the page. (Barr: With who?) And I guess my point here is is that your willingness to seem to brush over this and use words like the American people should be grateful. What's in this report? Nobody should be grateful."

4. SOUNDBITE (English) William Barr, Attorney General:
"Sen. Kamala Harris: Attorney General Barr has the president or anyone at the White House ever asked or suggested that you open an investigation of anyone?
Umm, I wouldn't I wouldn't.
Harris: Yes or no.
Could you repeat that question?"
5. SOUNDBITE (English) Sen. Kamala Harris, Democrat - California:
"I will repeat it. Has the president or anyone at the White House ever asked or suggested that you open an investigation of anyone? Yes or no please sir?"
"The president or anybody else.
Harris: Seems you'd remember something like that and be able to tell us.
Yeah but I'm trying to grapple with the words suggest. I mean there have been discussions of of matters out there that they have not asked me to open investigation but ...
Harris: Perhaps they've suggested?
I don't know, I wouldn't say suggest.
Harris: Hinted? Inferred?"
"Is in reaching your conclusion did you personally review all of the underlying evidence?"
"No. We took and ...
Harris: Did Mr. Rosenstein?
No we accepted the statements in the report as the factual record. We did not go underneath it to see whether or not they were accurate. We accepted it as accurate."
"As the Attorney General of the United States. You run the United States Department of Justice. If in any U.S. attorney's office around the country, the head of that office when being asked to make a critical decision about in this case the person who holds the highest office in the land and whether or not that person committed a crime, would you accept them recommending a charging decision to you if they had not reviewed the evidence?
Barr: Well that's a question for Bob Mueller. He's the U.S. attorney. He's the one who presents the report.
But it was you who made the charging decision, sir? You made the decision not to charge the president."
10. SOUNDBITE (English) William Barr, Attorney General:
"In a pross (process) memo and then a declination memo.
Harris: You said it was your baby, what did you mean by that?
It was my baby to to let to decide whether or not to disclose it to the public
Harris: And whose decision was it? Who had the power to make the decision about whether or not the evidence was sufficient to make a determination of whether there had been an obstruction of justice?
Prosecution memos go up to the supervisor, in this case it was the the attorney general and the deputy attorney general who who decide on the final decision."
11. SOUNDBITE (English) Sen. Amy Klobuchar, Democrat - Minnesota:
"Mr. Attorney General, on April 27th President Trump stated 'Mueller, I assume for 35 million dollars he checked my taxes and he checked my financials.' Is that accurate? Did the special counsel review the president's taxes and the Trump Organization's financial statements?"
"I don't know.
Klobuchar: Can you find out if I ask later in a written question?
I, yes or you could ask Bob Mueller when he comes here.

US Manafort 2 (CR)
AP Debrief: Judge Jails Ex-Trump Campaign Chair
Paul Manafort , Donald Trump , Robert Mueller
President Donald Trump's former campaign chairman Paul Manafort is going to jail.
On Friday, Manafort was ordered into custody after a federal judge revoked his house arrest, citing newly filed obstruction of justice charges. The move by U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson made Manafort the first Trump campaign official to be jailed as part of special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation.
"So this is a first Trump campaign aide to actually be put in jail as part of the special counsel's investigation, said Chad Day, a reporter with The Associated Press.
"Now, of course, this case doesn't deal directly with Russian election interference but still, this is the first time that we've seen someone who was close with Donald Trump during the campaign, as Paul Manafort was, and who actually led the campaign during several key months, and be sent to jail, Day said.
Already under intense pressure to cooperate with prosecutors in hopes of securing leniency, Manafort now loses the relative freedom he enjoyed while he prepared for two criminal trials in which he faces the possibility of spending the rest of his life in prison.
In issuing her ruling, Jackson said she had "struggled" with the decision but she couldn't "turn a blind eye" to his conduct.
"Manafort's attorneys had argued that these were innocuous contacts, and that he actually didn't know that the people he had contacted were witnesses," Day said.
"The prosecution had countered that that's actually not a defense to witness tampering, and that it was, as they said, inconceivable that he didn't know that these people would be people that the prosecution would want to talk with," he said.
A federal grand jury indicted Manafort and a longtime associate, Konstantin Kilimnik, last week on charges of obstruction of justice and conspiracy to obstruct justice.
Manafort, 69, and Kilimnik are accused of attempting to tamper with witnesses in the case by trying to get them to lie about the nature of their Ukrainian political work. Prosecutors say Manafort and Kilimnik tried to get the two witnesses to say that lobbying work carried out by clandestinely paid former politicians only occurred in Europe and not the U.S., a contention the two witnesses said they knew to be false.
The distinction matters because unregistered foreign lobbying in the U.S. is a crime, while lobbying solely in Europe would be outside the special counsel's jurisdiction.
Manafort also pleaded not guilty to the latest indictment on Friday. Kilimnik, who prosecutors say is living in Russia, did not appear in court. Mueller's team has said that Kilimnik has ties to Russian intelligence agencies, a claim he has previously denied.
Manafort will remain in jail while he awaits trial in both Washington and Virginia over the next few months. He faces several felony charges - including tax evasion, bank fraud, money-laundering conspiracy and acting as an unregistered foreign agent - related to his Ukrainian political work, money he funneled through offshore accounts and loans he took out on property in the U.S.

"So we're here at the federal courthouse in Washington where a federal judge just issued an order that jailed Paul Manafort, President Donald Trump's former campaign chairman. Now the reason for this was that last week a federal grand jury here in Washington returned an indictment against him that accused him of obstruction of justice, particularly witness tampering. And so today the judge ruled that she could not find or craft any kind of order that would ensure that he would not continue to commit crimes while he was remaining out on house arrest. And so during this hearing today she took a brief recess considered it and came out and said that he in fact has to go to jail."

"The main thing that this does is it ratchets up the pressure on Paul Manafort to cooperate with prosecutors. At this point, you know he's been fighting this case pretty vigorously, both here and also in a subsequent case in Virginia. And so, you know it's yet to be seen what, what impact this will have on his calculus of whether or not he should reach out to prosecutors and perhaps try to make some kind of deal."

US House Russia Investigation (Lon NR)
House GOP: Obama FBI 'prejudged' Trump's guilt
Hillary Clinton , Donald Trump , George Papadopoulos , Mark Meadows , John Ratcliffe , Robert Mueller
Republican congressional members say their meeting with former Trump campaign adviser, George Papadopoulos, backs up their belief that partisan bias has affected investigations at the Justice Department.
"These facts continue to lend themselves to the narrative that there were folks in the Obama FBI and Justice Department that prejudged Hillary Clinton's innocence, and prejudged Donald Trump's guilt or involvement with the Russian government and potential collusion," said Republican Rep. John Ratcliffe.
Ratcliffe was one of a few lawmakers who attended an interview on Thursday with George Papadopoulos on Capitol Hill. Congress is currently on recess in the weeks before the November election. Republican and Democratic staffers were also in the room.
Papadopoulos, who triggered the Russia investigation, made his first appearance Thursday before congressional investigators.
Papadopoulos was sentenced in September to two weeks in prison as part of special counsel Robert Mueller's probe, was meeting in closed session with two GOP-led House committees. It is one of several interviews the GOP-led House Judiciary and Oversight and Government Reform panels are conducting as part of their investigation into partisan bias at the Justice Department.
Papadopoulos pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI about his contacts with Russian intermediaries during the 2016 campaign. Since he was sentenced, he has been eager to talk publicly. He has spent many nights on Twitter, along with his wife, venting anger with the FBI and implying that he was set up in the investigation.
Papadopoulos, who served as a foreign policy adviser to Trump's campaign, has been a central figure in the Russia investigation dating back before Mueller's May 2017 appointment. He was the first person to plead guilty in Mueller's probe and the first Trump campaign adviser to be sentenced. His case was also the first to detail a member of the Trump campaign having knowledge of Russian efforts to interfere in the 2016 presidential election while it was ongoing.
According to a sweeping indictment, Russian intelligence had stolen emails from Hillary Clinton's campaign and other Democratic groups by April 2016, the same month Papadopoulos was told by the professor, Joseph Mifsud, that Russian officials had told him they had "dirt" on Clinton in the form of "thousands of emails." According to a New York Times report last year, Papadopoulos then told the Australian diplomat, Alexander Downer, who tipped off the FBI.
Democrats have said the GOP investigation is an attempt to discredit Mueller's investigation.

US Democrats and Republicans battle over inspector general's election report
Donald Trump , Elijah Cummings , Robert Mueller , Christopher Wray , Trey Gowdy , Rod Rosenstein , Bob Goodlatte , Jerrold Nadler , Hillary Clinton , James Comey
House Democrats and Republicans battled over the recently released Justice Department's IG report on the FBI and the 2016 election during a Capitol Hill hearing Tuesday.
The report, authored by Michael Horowitz, blasted FBI actions during the 2016 investigation into whether Clinton, the Democratic presidential candidate, had mishandled classified information on her private email server when she was secretary of state.
Republicans have become increasingly skeptical of special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into potential coordination between Russia and Trump's Republican presidential campaign.
They've been saying they're not convinced by the report's conclusion that the decision to spare Clinton from criminal charges was free from bias, or by reassurances that the problems were limited to just a handful of employees
"There were FBI agents and attorneys who decided to prejudge the outcome of the Hillary Clinton case before the investigation ended. I want you let that sink in for a second," said Rep. Trey Gowdy of South Carolina.
"The IG's report has spawned more questions and more theories about the FBI and DOJ's handling of the Clinton investigation," said Republican colleague Bob Goodlatte of Virginia.
"It confirms that Mrs Clinton did in fact receive special treatment from the Obama Justice Department and FBI during their investigation," Goodlatte said.
Democrats, however, battled back.
"Why is it that after you released this report, Mr. Horowitz, some of my colleagues seriously suggested that we opened an investigation into your investigation, of the investigation?" said Democratic Rep. Jerry Nadler.
"The Republicans are now tripling down threatening to impeach Rod Rosenstein and Christopher Wray for somehow obstructing their efforts to get to the bottom of all of this," added Democratic Rep. Elijah Cummings of Maryland.
Monday, Horowitz appeared with FBI Director Christoper Wray before a senate panel.
Wray said that the FBI is determined to not repeat any of the mistakes identified in the watchdog report.
Days earlier, President Donald Trump asserted the report exonerated him.
"There was no collusion. There was no obstruction," the president told reporters. "And I think that the Mueller investigation has been totally discredited."
Although the report criticized former FBI Director James Comey for multiple decisions that investigators said broke from protocol. But the inspector general said it found no evidence that political bias affected the outcome of the investigation.
And the report focused only on the FBI's actions during the 2016 election, not the Mueller investigation.

US Manafort Plea Debrief (CR)
AP debrief: Manafort pleads guilty, will cooperate
Eric Trump , Vladimir Putin , Donald Trump , Paul Manafort , Hillary Clinton , Donald Trump, Jr. , Jared Kushner , Robert Mueller
Former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort agreed Friday to cooperate with the special counsel's Russia investigation as he pleaded guilty to federal charges and avoided a second trial that could have exposed him to even greater punishment.
The deal gives special counsel Robert Mueller a key cooperator who led the Trump election effort for a crucial stretch during the 2016 presidential campaign.
It is unclear what information Manafort is prepared to provide to investigators about President Donald Trump or that could aid Mueller's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election. But the plea nonetheless makes Manafort the latest associate of Trump, a president known to place a premium on loyalty among subordinates, to admit guilt and cooperate with investigators in hopes of leniency.
AP Justice Department reporter Eric Tucker explains, "what's really significant about the cooperation is there is nothing that would stop Paul Manafort from describing to the special counsel acts and crimes and incidents that aren't what he pleaded guilty to."
"So if he has information that he is not admitting guilt to, he can still provide it to the government. He's still encouraged to provide it to the government. And that is information that of course could be about the campaign and could be about Donald Trump," Tucker adds.
The cooperation deal requires Manafort to provide whatever information the government asks of him, though it does not specify what if anything prosecutors hope to receive about Trump.
Given his direct involvement in the Trump campaign, including episodes being scrutinized by Mueller, Manafort could be positioned to provide key insight for investigators working to establish whether the campaign coordinated with Russia.
Manafort was among the participants, for instance, in a June 2016 Trump Tower meeting with Russians and the president's oldest son and son-in-law that was arranged so the campaign could receive derogatory information about Democrat Hillary Clinton. A grand jury used by Mueller has heard testimony about the meeting.
Friday's deal, to charges tied to Ukrainian political consulting work but unrelated to the campaign, was struck just days before Manafort was to have stood trial for a second time.
He was convicted last month of eight financial crimes in a separate trial in Virginia and faces seven to 10 years in prison in that case. The two conspiracy counts he pleaded guilty to on Friday carry up to five years in prison, though Manafort's sentence will ultimately depend on his cooperation.
In the past year, Mueller has secured pleas from a former national security adviser who lied to the FBI about discussing sanctions with a Russian ambassador, a campaign aide who broached the idea of a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin; and another aide who was indicted alongside Manafort but ultimately turned on him. The president's former personal lawyer has separately pleaded guilty in New York.
White House press secretary Sarah Sanders insisted that the Manafort case was unrelated to Trump.
"This had absolutely nothing to do with the president or his victorious 2016 presidential campaign. It is totally unrelated."

"Today, former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort pleaded guilty to two federal counts. And most significantly, he agreed to cooperate and special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation. That is a very significant development because it means that he is going to be agreeing to testify and agreeing to provide any sort of information that the Special Counsel asks of him."

"He pleaded guilty to conspiracy against the United States. And in the course of that he admitted to all sorts of illegal conduct related to his Ukrainian political consulting work that he did over the course of many years. And the principal allegation, or one of the principal allegations, is that he worked as a foreign agent advocating in Ukraine for those political interests and did not register as such with the Justice Department. The Justice Department says if you're going to lobby in the United States on behalf of a foreign government, which is the allegation against Manafort, you have to register. But what's really significant about the cooperation is there is nothing that would stop Paul Manafort from describing to the special counsel acts and crimes and incidents that aren't what he pleaded guilty to. So if he has information that he is not admitting guilt to, he can still provide it to the government. He's still encouraged to provide it to the government. And that is information that of course could be about the campaign and could be about Donald Trump."

10. "So it's unclear exactly what information Manafort could have about Trump but it is important to note that Manafort led the Trump campaign during a very critical stretch of the 2016 campaign. He was a participant in a Trump Tower meeting in June 2016 that involved the president's son, his son in law Jared Kushner and Manafort and a Russian government lawyer. And the point of that meeting we know from Donald Trump junior himself was to accept and receive dirt about Hillary Clinton. And so that's a significant meeting. We know that Möller is interested in it. So to the extent that Manafort can provide information, I'm sure Mauler would be more than happy to hear anything that Manafort has to say about that."

DOJ Russia Probe Points To Social Media Impact
Rod Rosenstein , Hillary Clinton , Donald Trump , Robert Mueller , Bernie Sanders
In an extraordinary indictment, the U.S. special counsel accused 13 Russians Friday of an elaborate plot to disrupt the 2016 presidential election, charging them with running a huge but hidden social media trolling campaign aimed in part at helping Republican Donald Trump defeat Democrat Hillary Clinton.
The federal indictment, brought by special counsel Robert Mueller, represents the most detailed allegations to date of illegal Russian meddling during the campaign that sent Trump to the White House. It also marks the first criminal charges against Russians believed to have secretly worked to influence the outcome.
The latest indictment does not focus on hacking but instead centers on a social media propaganda effort that began in 2014 and continued past the election, with the goal of producing distrust in the American political process.
The indictment does not allege that any American knowingly participated in Russian meddling, or suggest that Trump campaign associates had more than "unwitting" contact with some of the defendants who posed as Americans during election season.
But it does lay out a vast and wide-ranging Russian effort to sway political opinion in the United States through a strategy that involved creating Internet postings in the names of Americans whose identities had been stolen; staging political rallies while posing as American political activists and paying people in the U.S. to promote or disparage candidates.
"This involved having agents sometimes come to the U.S. from Russia and start all sorts of interest groups on Facebook and other social media and then to entice people, not only into joining those groups, but also to have them post a great deal of material on the social networks, a lot of it aimed at criticizing Hillary Clinton and rivals to Donald Trump during the Republican primaries," said AP technology editor David Hamilton.
While foreign meddling in U.S. campaigns is not new, the indictment for an effort of this scope and digital sophistication is unprecedented.
The surreptitious campaign was organized by the Internet Research Agency, a notorious Russian troll farm that the indictment says sought to conduct "information warfare against the United States of America."
The election-meddling organization, looking to conceal its Russian roots, purchased space on computer servers within the U.S., used email accounts from U.S. internet service providers and created and controlled social media pages with huge numbers of followers on divisive issues such as immigration, religion and the Black Lives Matter movement.
Starting in April 2016, the indictment says, the Russian agency bought political ads on social media supporting Trump and opposing Clinton without reporting expenditures to the Federal Election Commission or registering as foreign agents. Among the ads: "JOIN our #HillaryClintonForPrison2016" and "Donald wants to defeat terrorism ... Hillary wants to sponsor it."
The indictment also asserts that the posts encouraged minority groups not to vote or to vote for third parties and alleged Democratic voter fraud.
Facebook says it is doubling its security staff to 20,000 and actively working with the FBI to stop election interference by Russians and others.

"It basically lays out a strategy by a Russian organization called the internet research agency to interfere with the 2016 presidential election. This involved having agents sometimes come to the U.S. from Russia and start all sorts of interest groups on Facebook and other social media and then to entice people, not only into joining those groups, but also to have them post a great deal of material on the social networks, a lot of it aimed at criticizing Hillary Clinton and rivals to Donald Trump during the Republican primaries while also supporting Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump himself."
4. Still image of Facebook posting released by the House Intelligence Committee
"It's been a rough year for Facebook and Twitter and YouTube and the like. They all got hauled up in front of congressional committees back in November and quizzed extensively about this. They say they've taken a number of actions including hiring more people to vet the sort of material that's published on their networks and to try to screen out false and misleading accounts. But experts have a lot of doubts as to whether they've actually gone far enough in terms of being able to deal with this and to be ready, for instance, for the 2018 midterms."
"As far as what can be done, I think that's the biggest question everybody's trying to wrestle with right now, the companies, the government, users of the social media organizations themselves."

Arena tennis season finalé at Nitto ATP Finals
Arena served an ace combination of event services at the UK’s key tennis events across the 2018 season, which collectively attracted a million visitors, culminating with the installation of 6,800sqm of event infrastructure at London’s O2 Arena for the Nitto ATP Finals, Nov 11 – 18, 2018.
June’s new look Fever Tree Championship was the first tournament to welcome a host of top seeds to its hallowed Queens Club courts. The depth of Arena’s turnkey services was evident from the array of double decker structures providing hospitality and public bars and concessions, with stunning interior design and fit out by Arena, alongside Spaceworks furniture and Well Dressed Tables. Most impressively Arena invested in new grey spectator seats to match the incoming sponsors branding for the newly configured 9,100 grandstand wrapping three sides of the main court, with a further 900 seat grandstand on Court 1.
The Wimbledon Championships 2018 saw the same combination of Arena’s temporary event structures, seating, furniture and CCG in July. The distinctive green and white colour schemes and incredible VIP chalets created a distinctly different ambiance, having been designed to suit the requirements and branding of the clients.
This was the 10th year that Arena’s Dan Bluff project managed the ATP Finals extension to the capacity of the O2 Arena, installing a temporary I-Novation building adjacent to the venue’s main entrance. Within the impressive I-Novation were two triple-decker structures flanking the players main practice court. The glass wall giving great views of the iconic O2 dome structure was treated to avoid the glare of the sun reflecting off the white venue. The triple-deckers were transformed with creative interiors by Arena, or sponsors’ own agencies, with fully appointed facilities to provide the luxurious player’s restaurant and lounge, a tennis family’s restaurant, sponsors’ hospitality and reception area. Arena invested in three-stop lifts and installed a complex heating and air con system that kept the players court warm and the VIP suites at a lower temperature. Arena supplied all of the interior walling and lining along with carpets, lighting, toilets, lifts, catering hoists HVAC etc the completed areas were then handed over to various sponsor agencies for the final install.
Guests entered this ‘VIP Village’ via a reception area, which incorporated accreditation and ‘airport style’ security, joining seamlessly into the main building. Separate triple-decker structures were also joined at the rear to house the kitchens.
ATP Finals Tournament Director, Adam Hogg, states:
“This is the finalé of a tiring season for the players, where the top eight seeds battle for the ultimate prize. It’s important for the ATP family that we create an ambience that treats the players well, helps them relax and, given the up-beat style of the tournament, reflects the fun and prestige of the event.
“Arena has been an integral part of our team since we first came to the O2 in 2009. They have helped us raise the bar year on year and 2018 is no different. We haven’t made any fundamental changes to a winning formula, but there have been some key areas we’ve evolved with them. The redesigned top floor of the players facility is a great example, where we’ve emphasised the place-maker location we’re in, by creating a top floor restaurant with glass walls to give a 360 degree panorama, which is particularly stunning at night.”
A second practice court was situated inside a TFS to the rear of the O2. Inside the main tennis auditorium, Arena installed three temporary broadcast studios at one end. These were specifically designed and manufactured by Arena for this event to host the BBC and Sky cameras and presenters studios. Arena also supplied media areas, including structures within the 02 loading bay, a reception area, 355 media desks and a soundproof radio broadcast studio.
In keeping with the ATP Final’s fresh, energetic presentation of the sport, a new face lifted the trophy. Alexandra Zverev defeated World no 1 Novak Djokovic to cap off a thrilling year of tennis with Arena providing progressive event services to augment three iconic venues.

Matthew Goehrig
7th & 8th Grade Math & Social Studies Email:
We welcome Mr. Goehrig ('04) to our staff.
I have been teaching mathematics for the past six years, as a teacher for the University at Buffalo’s Gifted Math Program, developing a completely new curriculum. I also coach local competitive math teams. At Catholic Academy of West Buffalo, I teach seventh, eighth, and sometimes sixth grade mathematics.
In my class, I insist that students really understand the ”why” of math. Not only why all the formulas are true and really describe the world around us, but also why it is so important to study. I have years of experience as a pastry chef in addition to my teaching career and I know how important math can be in the workplace.
I also have some experience in coding and building digital simulations, which I incorporate into the curriculum when possible. I believe that students should not just follow instructions and find solutions, but be able to write the instructions in the first place. In the new digital world, our current students will be faced with unforeseen computational problems. They will need to reason adaptively and design tools rather than just know how to use them. In my class, this kind of deeper reasoning plays a large role. I think that even students whose future does not take them into deep mathematics, would benefit from having an appreciation for the power of math. Most importantly, that the adaptive problem solving techniques we develop in my class are applicable in all walks of life.

Report calls on locals and council to save their pubs
by Simon Newton/ September 28, 2012/
Lewisham council is appealing for residents to vouch for their local boozers as part of a new plan to stem the tide of closing pubs.
A report from the Sustainable Development Select Committee found 53 pubs in the borough had closed in the last ten years, with some wards losing 70% or even 100% of their local boozers.
The document says pubs can be “an important community resource” and delivers seven recommendations to protect them, including an invitation to community groups to submit their pub for listing.
It concludes that some pubs have suffered due to a decline in beer drinking or competition with cheap supermarkets, while others have been unable to modernise or appeal to the changing tastes of punters.
But it also found a willingness by pub companies to deliberately mismanage pubs, or impose disproportionally high rents on landlords, effectively forcing closure.
It reported: “High residential and retail values often make premises more lucrative to developers and pub companies as flats or convenience stores than as pubs.”
In full, the report recommends:
Tightening up restrictions on marketing pubs up for sale, so that owners can’t falsely portray them as a losing bet so as to sell them off for supermarket land
Updating the council’s register of community venues to include pub function rooms and hire spaces
Launching a highly-publicised review of all local pubs for listing status
Making developers work harder to prove that there is no demand for a pub in an area and that the land could be more effectively used
Encouraging local groups to submit their pubs for listing
Scrutinising these changes to avoid excessive bureaucracy for pub managers
Making another report in time for the end of the 2013/2014 municipal year
It also finds “an uneven distribution of pubs across the borough”, with Brockley, New Cross and Blackheath considered pub-rich, but Catford and Downham lacking in provision.
In Evelyn, 16 of 21 pubs were closed between 2001 and 2011. In Telegraph Hill it was 5 out of 7; in Downham, 2 out of 3. In Whitefoot, there were only two pubs – both of which were closed.
It said: “Pubs often support community groups and local charities…a well run pub has the potential to provide a locus for its neighbourhood and enhance the vitality of its locality.”
According to the Campaign for Real Ale, the current planning system allows pubs to be converted to shops or restaurants without planning permission. The recommendations of the report would beef up planning laws to provide a better defence against pub closures.
Emily Nutbourne, general manager of the Royal Albert on New Cross Road, is part of the Antic group of pubs, which was consulted for the report, said her pub was already used by community groups but that more could be done.
She said: “The Deptford Arms has been turned into a Paddy Power, which is obviously bad for the community. It would be great if it could be used as a community space and not neccesarily even a pub, but somewhere people could use.”
To protect the use of pubs as venues for community groups and activities, the report calls on the council to update its register of community venues for hire to include available spaces in local pubs.
The report was compiled from a survey by Lewisham planning officers, and interested parties were invited to speak about the importance of preserving Lewisham’s pubs. This included pub enthusiasts, publicans and community groups.

Telco Optical Systems Beyond 100G
In the telecom industry, continual advances in coherent optical transmission technology over the last decade or more have enabled greater capacity to be wrung out of deployed fiber for ultra-long-haul and subsea links, core and metro networks, and in the access and point-to-point interconnection of data centers and enterprise sites. Capacity per wavelength is now routinely 100 Gbit/s (100G) in many applications, and vendors report a rapid move to 200G, with 400G and even 600G systems likely to be used in the future for multiple applications as electronics get faster.
Current leaders in the telecom optical systems market should continue seeing success as long as they keep on top of changes in the patterns of demand, respond with products designed to suit specific applications and flexible systems with programmable interfaces, and increase the focus on manageability in the coming era of software-defined networking (SDN) and network functions virtualization (NFV).
It's a good time to be in coherent optics: Demand is strong, and there is a very large market to attack if you have products that can meet the low-cost, optimized-performance needs of the <80 km DCI sector, at above 100G.
The industry continues to be an arms race between technology developers, with the battlegrounds being DSP design, photonic integration approaches and speed of electronics. But to this mix should now be added systems' capabilities to deliver visibility into the optical network and the management capability to automate the optimization of the network in real time. Watch out for announcements from vendors of new, more capable management systems and interworking with SDN controllers that can support telcos as they progress toward a software-defined future.
Telco Optical Systems Beyond 100G looks at how demand for optical transport has changed, how coherent optics is evolving, and what the future holds for this established but dynamic technology. It examines advances in electronics that are pushing speeds faster, and the consequences for the standard optical grid spacing, looks at standardization efforts, including those led from the demand-side of the market, and compares the approaches and portfolios of 11 vendors of telco-focused optical systems.
Coherent optics systems have been developed to meet the requirements of several distinct applications in telecom networks, from ultra-long-haul, submarine and long-haul links, telco core and metro networks, to access (including mobile fronthaul and backhaul) and DCI applications. Architecturally, point-to-point, ring, mesh and switched/multiplexed systems are deployed, resulting in several products. The carrier market makes significant and increasing use of switched optical networking, with rather less use of point-to-point links (at least outside ultra-long-haul and submarine applications). The following excerpt illustrates the way market demand and technology developments are mutually reinforcing one another in a virtuous circle.
Telco Optical Systems Beyond 100G is published in PDF format.

Covid 19 outbreak at Leicester Tigers
Thursday, November 5th, 2020 6:32pm
Leicester Tigers says all team training must stop and the club’s Oval Park training ground facility has closed following a COVID-19 outbreak.
A statement from the club said:
"The club returned several positive tests for COVID-19 earlier this week following the latest round of Premiership Rugby’s COVID-19 screening programme, including members of the playing group and support staff.
As well as those players and staff who have returned positive tests being isolated at home, several members of the squad and support staff were also instructed to isolate after being identified as close contacts."
The club says additional testing will take place tomorrow (Friday, November 6) for all players and staff ahead of Monday’s weekly testing in line with Premiership Rugby guidelines.
All players will now continue their pre-season programme alone in their household bubbles while the Oval Park facility remains closed.
Tigers have made the decision to pause all training commitments and close the training ground in a bid to maintain the integrity of the 2020/21 Gallagher Premiership season, which commences for the club on Saturday, November 21, as well as honouring our responsibilities to the Leicestershire community.

AV Festival 2012: The Art of Time
AV Festival, Reviews
Opening with Rex Harrison’s lament in Joseph Mankiewicz’s The Honey Pot (1967) that the overriding means of valuing life is by its length and not its quality, Fergus Daly and Katherine Waugh’s 2009 documentary The Art of Time examines how leading contemporary artists are responding to and utilising ever-changing perceptions of time in their work.
Though aspiring to an essay film, The Art of Time allows equal footing to its interviewees, brought together here as a collage so that the film deliberately lacks the singular voice that distinguishes one of its makers’ influences, Chris Marker.
The documentary itself is the result of a lengthy project intended to be, as Katherine Waugh noted when introducing it to a packed screening at Newcastle’s Tyneside Cinema, “investigative of temporalities”. Though a 20-hour version apparently exists, the film has been considerably shortened due to funding procedures, which is probably for the better, given that it’s difficult to see how more material would inherently provide more fascination without becoming itself something of an endurance test: the film’s makers do well to work within the familiar terrain of talking heads, developing the film’s narrative by means of themed chapters that lend it its sense of structural logic.
Choosing as its starting point the Proustian notions of voluntary and involuntary memory and the implications of both for artistic explorations of the temporal, and moving towards its logical conclusion dealing with the future – though as the film teaches us along the way, the future as a concept is becoming increasingly blurred with that of the present – the film is a mostly well-measured succession of interviews with the likes of Vito Acconci, Robert Wilson, Doug Aitken, David Claerbout, Stan Douglas, the Quay Brothers, Chantal Akerman and Alexander Sokurov, among others.
Because Daly and Waugh have eliminated themselves from their own work – the procedural opposite of, say, Claude Lanzmann, whose absence from the episode dealing with trauma and, specifically, the Holocaust’s relationship to time, memory and visual representation, is a little odd – they’ve done well to form a semi-coherent narrative from an obvious wealth of material, much of which presumably gave conflicting and contrasting views.
Though a kind of eclecticism was embraced, the film is editorially stitched together so that, for the most part, interviewees compliment one another, if not explicitly then by their mere juxtaposition with one another. Waugh says the film isn’t meant to be sentimentally negative regarding notions of modern life becoming too fast to appreciate its finer fruits; as Acconci says at one point, for instance, it has become harder to read at length than it once was, though not necessarily in a bad way – the trick is in finding new ways to read.
This said, there is at the very least a tacit, gradual tendency towards something resembling apprehension – Akerman says near the end that she doesn’t want to say “the end of the world”, but that she is “worried” about how fast the world is becoming (or, implicitly, how fast it seems to be hurtling towards its end). Despite intentions against it, such intellectual helplessness seeps through the work overall, as its interviewees give way to banal observations and epigrammatic abstractions. To the former camp belongs Russian filmmaker Alexander Sokurov, who claims to have discovered (!), during the making of Russian Ark, that space and time are inseparable; Sokurov also tells us that “reality is not reality – it is made”. What are we supposed to make of these observations?
Such abstractions come as no surprise upon learning Waugh and Daly have a background in philosophy. Combined with the expertise and viewpoints of their subjects, the film lends itself too easily to the abstract-universal (a figure such as Paul Morley counters this with refreshing, more grounded historical insight regarding ’90s rave music and the political implications of its repeated time).
Artists of course have a responsibility to both the world and their conscious response to it – their art. As such, the documentary is most illuminating when its interviewees are limited to explaining their own thought- or working process; it’s when probed or allowed an outlet for wider observations that their own artistic and even philosophical limits are exposed. One dominant concern in the film is not that life has become too fast, but that it is irretrievably so.
What the film lacks is a rational, materialist viewpoint that might counter the more vague abstractions. (Tellingly, architect Peter Eisenman explains that his Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe in Berlin is “a warning against rationality”.) Changing perceptions of time and the speeds with which we live our lives are themselves grounded in a materiality. Waugh and Daly’s film would have been strengthened – perhaps with their own intervention – by asking to what extent people’s sense of time is determined by their material, working lives.
A fight against an apparently irretrievable descent into passive consumerism and a fight for one’s fifteen minutes of fame (to ensure immortality against death), two by-products of a faster world, would surely be linked to the fight against an economic system demanding more and more of our leisure time from us. How, for instance, are the temporal phenomena illustrated in the film experienced by ordinary working people? To situate itself within this more concrete struggle, the film would have had to probe deeper into the social and historical contexts in which its artists work and to include in its cast figures outside of such circles.

Freud’s handwriting analysis
Freud’s handwriting may be surprising if referred to the cliché of the founder of psychoanalysis silently listening to his patient lying on the sofa and sitting behind him not to interfere anyhow with the free flowing of images and memories coming from the unconscious of the patient undergoing analysis.
In fact, his whole handwriting suggests the image of a direct, strong interpersonal interaction, based on a deep need of connecting with others (Forward Slant) through an unending search for provocations (Sharp) to elicit a response and consequently the opening up and manifestation of the Other, either a patient, a colleague or an enemy. Therefore, to be silent and let the other talk was, for him, very difficult, as Freud patently belongs to the Assault Temper: his personality is characterized by the sign Sharp fully yielding its three requirements of angularity, narrow letters and tall letters, suggesting a sharp intelligence and drive to contradiction, appearing in a noteworthy recklessness and passionate way (Rushing).
His intelligence is highly original (Methodically Uneven) and therefore capable of deeply creative intuitions also in a psychological field (Sinuous), where it is powerfully rooted. Intuition proceeds according to the sharp intelligence’s typical way, therefore “going to the truth by means of sampling, contradicting, discarding, sorting“(3) and this tortuous way of proceeding strengthens his memory because this subject assimilates results through fight (Sharp, Forward Slant). Actually, “always the sharp intelligence infers and by inferring, it comes to know the truth and, sometimes, more sophisticatedly than a deep intelligence, as it has worked more and learned nothing but through a form of control I could almost define petulant.”. (4)
Freud’s mind does not belong to a rational, clear-minded scientist, but to somebody feeling the power in his own intuitions and defending them in any possible way (A Angles and B Angles above average); though he does not possess the ability of net linking, therefore his intuitions remain isolated and cannot be connected in a theory. Graphologically, the intuitive scientist who, like Freud, can single out the wonders in an issue of reality, may also become a theorist, therefore connecting his intuitions in a wider context only whether his gaze is deep enough to embrace the multiple issues of an observed phenomenon (Wide letters above average) and an adequate power in critical thinking (Spacing between Word above average). Both these requirements do not belong to Freud’s intelligence, which consequently remained highly unilateral regarding his psychological view of man. As for woman, later, he sincerely admitted that this one remained a continent totally unknown to him.
May be somehow surprising that this bright investigator of the unhealthy human mind had himself such an unquiet personality (Sharp, Rushing), so contaminated by irrationality (dark, Off-and-on Carved I, Flourishes of Mythomania) almost to the limit of being himself overwhelmed by his drive to contradiction so strong and immediate (Sharp, Forward Slant, Rushing), by his emotionality, by his need to be always, anyway, right (A Angles, Off-and-On Carved I) to the point to exhaust his own physical resources (not to mention the others’), because his personality is always set on self-defence, as the whole world, by means of projection, reflects on him this drive to contradiction and attack he has to defend himself from, but really belongs to him.
In many ways, we can say Freud could investigate the world of irrationality because he felt its power and charm, he joined it. As his intelligence was sharp, therefore more interested in pointing out the negative side of the observed phenomena, he saw it as a destabilizing and ominous world against which we have to defend ourselves: on the contrary, Jung with a totally different personality, perceived it as a numinous world capable of nurturing, with its powerful symbols, the small rational core of the human mind.
But in order to explore the unconscious world, somehow we have to be prepared to experience it directly, meaning actually either to allow us to live up this experience, in the case of a better balanced personality, as in Jung, or to live it so deeply ourselves to be utterly incapable to deny it, as in Freud; and in his unrelentingly materialistic point of view we can see his desire to bring reason and order to the human psyche and to dominate the obscure forces he felt inside himself and were to be brought to light through the strictly defined-in order to control the unconscious- therapeutic practice he had elaborated.
These were the banks he had built, and without them the explorer in him, who already risked so much in this journey searching for his obsessions, believed it was utterly impossible to proceed in such an unfriendly and dangerous ground, in danger to be invaded by the pool of powerful instincts his sharp gaze already noticed.
