__label__wiki	0.775505	0.775505	Brad Oleson Not in any ranking or draft Weight: 200 lbs (91 kg) Position: SG High School: North Pole High School (Alaska) Hometown: North Pole, AK College: Alas Fairbanks Current Team: Murcia Win - Loss: 8 - 8 European Roundup: Llull Sparks Real Madrid Matt Williams No player in the ACB has been as productive as Brad Oleson in this young season, and possibly no player in Europe has been as surprising in his production. The 64 shooting guard and native of North Pole, Alaska, who made a name for himself as a prolific scorer during a three year collegiate tenure with the University of Alaska-Fairbanks in Division II, has been nothing short of brilliant in his teams first four contests. After helping Bierasar Rosalia earn promotion from the second division of the Spanish LEB to the first in in 2007, Oleson signed with Alta Gestion Fuenlabrada. Despite this significant jump in competition, Oleson has been more impressive on both ends this season than he was during any of his three seasons in Rosalia. His deadly outside shooting stroke (he is the most prolific shooter in the ACB at four 3-pointers made per game, hitting 67% of his attempts) has been the key to his ACB leading 22 points per game, but his defense has been equally impressive (he also finds himself ranked 2nd in steals per game). While Oleson is by no means a likely NBA target, it is tough to ignore how well he has played with defenses keying in on him. The German passport he acquired in 2005 could garner him some serious interest around Europe in the future, especially if he continues to play at such a high level. Players like Oleson show us how much improvement can be made by college players once they reach the professional level, as there surely werent many anticipating him being where he is now after he graduated from Alaska-Fairbanks in 2005. 12/27/2020 93 - 76 vs Obradoiro 12/23/2020 93 - 104 at Joventut 12/20/2020 78 - 89 at Valencia 12/09/2020 90 - 73 vs San Sebastian	cc/2021-04/en_middle_0036.json.gz/line2
__label__wiki	0.686583	0.686583	by AnnaMariaCrum \| Oct 8, 2012 \| synopsis, writing \| 1 comment No matter how I try to prepare a manuscript ahead of time for submission, once I start sending out queries I never seem to have the right type of synopsis to go with it. If I prepare a one page synopsis, everyone I want to query asks for a long one. If I prepare a long synopsis, then everyone wants a one page version. It’s the Murphy Rule of synopses. And since it’s the thing I hate to write, even more than query letters, I seem to be doomed to write them over and over again. So what have I learned over this non-ending stream of summary writing? What makes a good synopsis? A good synopsis has enough details of the plot to make the story interesting without bogging it down in confusion. It should start with the hero’s ordinary world, which is then changed by the inciting event—the event that kick-starts the story. After that comes the first change of direction. Everything up to that point seems to be headed in one direction, then something happens and sends the story off into a new direction. The next part is the middle leading up to the second change of direction where the stakes are upped. This leads directly to the climax followed by the wrapup where you say how the events in the story have changed your character’s life—the summation of his/her character arc. Your synopsis should include the character’s motivation for what they do, and any transitional information you need to link the different parts together. It should be written with the tone/voice of the story so that you convey a sense of your style. If possible, you should also include the theme—what your story is really about. A bad synopsis is one where you put in too much detail. You include all the characters’ names, all the ups and downs of the plot, and generally create total confusion because of too much information. Here’s a hint—if you name a character but only mention them once in the synopsis, cut them out. They aren’t important enough to include. Try to only name 1-3 characters in a one-page synopsis. Instead refer to other characters by their position or occupation in the story—the best friend, his teacher, etc. A longer synopsis can handle more character names, however, I would still keep it to 5 or less. An ugly synopsis is one that is a flat recital of facts without any of the voice or spirit of the story. It’s boring—a yawn factory that won’t entice anyone to read farther. It usually takes the form of this happens, then this happens, then this happens next. To show you what I mean I’ve pasted below a short and long synopsis for my YA science fiction novel, Snake Talker. The short version: SNAKE TALKER—synopsis It should have been an easy scam, but Griz discovers impersonating the lost heir could have deadly consequences when he is kidnapped and taken to Habu, as the missing heir. Colas, a mercenary warlord, has taken over the planet, which was settled long ago by a group of techno-phobes. Normally such a place would hold little interest for him, but Colas is obsessed by the local legend of ultimate power, which only the true heir can access. But not everyone is pleased by the heir’s return and Griz is nearly assassinated minutes after his arrival. At the palace he learns he must prove his bloodline by passing a series of ancient tests, which are of the pass you live, fail you die variety. On the journey to the testing ground, rebel forces attack the camp and Griz escapes with Gschu, an attractive servant. But Gschu is playing her own game and delivers Griz to the rebels. He learns they want the source of all power in order to combat the drought devastating the planet. Famine is imminent and if something isn’t done, half the population will die. Life has taught Griz to see the rest of the universe as suckers for his scamming, and to always put himself first. However, the faces of the drought-ravaged Habuans are hard to ignore. Griz feels the phantom pricks of a conscience he’d thought safely amputated. The rebel leader promises to fix the trials, so despite his doubts Griz agrees to return to Colas and face the ordeal. During the testing, Gschu helps Griz survive poisonous snakes and a perilous trek over a lava river. They retrieve a data key, which will unlock the palace vault containing the source. Back at the city, they face another delay. The bzos rgyal po, the heir’s ceremony, can only be done at the new moon. Colas has to wait or face a Habuan uprising. Misunderstandings complicate Griz and Gschu’s relationship. Griz feels betrayed and a fool when Gschu reveals herself to be the true heir of Habu at the ceremony. Gschu opens the vault, revealing the source of all power. But it’s not the prize Colas expected. The source is information, hidden away by the techno-phobic settlers—information that is five hundred years out of date for Colas, but invaluable to the current Habuans to help them combat the drought Colas refuses to leave with empty pockets and orders his men to strip the palace and city of anything valuable. The devastating effect their vandalism will have on the Habuans makes Griz realize there are things, and people, worth believing in. He joins Gschu and the rebels and helps them defeat the mercenaries. The monks take charge of Colas’s rehabilitation, Gschu is declared the ruler, and together, she and Griz face the challenges of Habu’s future. Here’s the long version: SNAKE TALKER – SYNOPSIS It should have been an easy scam. King murdered, rumors of a legitimate heir hidden at birth, and a secret fortune only the heir can access. Oh the romance of it all. Gets the suckers every time. But eighteen-year-old scam artist Griz discovers that impersonating the lost heir can have deadly consequences when he is kidnapped and taken to the technologically primitive planet, Habu. Colas, a mercenary warlord, wants the source of all power, which only the true heir of Habu can access. The planet was settled hundreds of years ago by a group of techno-phobes fleeing Earth. Normally a backwater like Habu would hold little interest for Colas, but when the mercenary’s flagship is forced to stop for repairs, he becomes obsessed with the local legend of ultimate power. Colas has had his men bring Griz to the planet so he can get his hands on the source. But not everyone is pleased by the heir’s return and Griz is nearly assassinated minutes after his arrival. Later, over a sumptuous dinner at the palace, he learns he must pass a series of ancient tests set by the planet’s religious leader to prove he is, in fact, the true heir. The tests are of the pass you live, fail you die variety and Griz decides to leave before he flunks. He enlists Gschu, an attractive serving girl, to help him escape, but his plan to buy passage and be off planet before sunrise is ruined when Colas shows up at the space dock. Griz learns that any future escape attempts would be futile, because Colas fed him a tracking device during dinner. For the next two weeks he will know where Griz is at every moment, including where he takes his dumps. Next morning they leave for the mountaintop monastery where Griz will submit to the tests. On the journey Gschu is nearly bitten by a poisonous snake, but Griz chases it off. When the snake retreats, the Habuans in the group proclaim that Griz must be the true heir, since only Habuans of royal blood have the power to talk to snakes. Colas is encouraged by this sign and Griz knows better than to disabuse him. Rebel forces attack their camp that night, blowing up their supplies. Griz takes a chance that the explosion might have taken out the tracking monitor and escapes with Gschu. But Gschu is playing her own game and delivers Griz to the rebels. He learns that they want the source of all power for themselves, in order to combat a drought that is devastating the planet. Famine is imminent and if something isn’t done, half the population will die. In the rebel camp Griz runs into his old scamming partner, Demp, who is negotiating an arm’s sale to the rebels. Despite some bad history between them, Demp agrees to help Griz escape if Griz agrees not to tell the rebels about Demp’s less than stellar merchandize. Life has taught Griz to see the rest of the universe as suckers for his scamming, and to always put himself first. However, the faces of the drought-ravaged Habuans are hard to ignore. Griz feels the phantom pricks of a conscience he’d thought safely amputated. The rebel leader promises to fix the tests, so despite his doubts, Griz agrees to return with Gschu. His best shot at staying alive until he can escape is to play along with the rebels and Colas. And if the rebels ultimately end up with the source, well, that’s fine with him. Griz and Gschu wait for Colas to catch up with them, spinning a tale of rebels and a kidnapping, which satisfies the mercenary. Colas pushes the group up the mountain and they reach the monastery before nightfall. The religious leader, Master Ze, greets them when they arrive and sets the first test—a pit of poisonous snakes. Only one of the royal blood can survive, for the snakes will sense a pretender and kill him. Gschu helps Griz by washing his feet in cat piss, because cats are the snakes’ only natural enemy. Griz captures a snake, and that night the monks rejoice over the successful passing of the first test. The next day Griz, survives another assassination attempt, and with Gshu’s help, completes the second test—crossing a perilous bridge over a lava river to retrieve a data key. The key, which is old-style tech, will unlock a palace vault containing the source. Before they leave, Master Ze says the last test will be of the heir’s making. Griz has no idea what he means and doesn’t care, since Colas rushes everyone back to the palace to use the key. Griz knows his only chance of meeting up with Demp lies in getting back to the city. But they face another delay once they arrive. Master Po, a rival monk and head of a techno-phobic splinter group, will lose most of his power if the heir is revealed. He delays the opening of the vault citing religious reasons—the bzos rgyal po, the heir’s ceremony, can only be done at the new moon. Colas has to wait or face a Habuan uprising. After disabling the tracker monitor, Griz uses the delay to contact Demp. He surprises himself by making a deal with his former partner to buy the converter kits needed to upgrade the rebels’ weapons. Gschu and the Habuans have worked their magic and Griz has decided to help them instead of himself. He also contacts Colas’ second-in-command and makes a deal with him to double-cross his boss. With his plan in place, Griz delivers the converter kits to the rebel camp. Unfortunately, he’s robbed of his ultimate “hero” moment and his “Gschu-will-love-me-for-this” gesture when he discovers that Demp has stolen the data key from him. Griz leads the rebels in a raid on Demp’s camp to retrieve the data key, but they’re ambushed by Colas’ men. Griz is recaptured, and feels like a fool when he discovers that Gshcu was behind the trap. She’d planted her own tracking device on him, and turned the monitor over to Colas when Griz disappeared. Gschu’s betrayal burns deep and Griz swears to never trust again. Even when the misunderstanding is exposed, Griz finds it hard to forgive Gschu. She should have known better than to believe Demp’s lies. Griz wasn’t abandoning her and had, in fact, used all his funds to help the rebels. Gschu is devastated that she let doubt guide her actions, but the stakes were too high for her to dare to trust. Lives depend on her actions, including Griz’s, which she saves when she completes the third test at the ceremony and reveals she is the true heir of Habu. Risking her life for him works pretty well as an apology, especially when Griz understands it wasn’t the first time. As the true heir of Habu, Gschu can talk to snakes. Cat piss had nothing to do with his triumph in the snake pit. Gschu completes the ceremony and opens the vault, revealing the source of all power. But it’s not the prize Colas expected. The source is information, hidden away by the techno-phobic settlers—information that is five hundred years out of date for Colas, but invaluable to the current Habuans to help them combat the drought. Colas refuses to leave with empty pockets and orders his men to strip the palace and city of anything valuable. The devastating effect their vandalism will have on the Habuans makes Griz realize there are things, and people, worth believing in. He joins Gschu and the rebels in fighting the mercenaries and tips the balance of the battle when he executes his deal with Colas’ second-in-command, giving the signal for half of Colas’ men to mutiny. At the end of the fight one monk, a follower of Master Po’s, tries to assassinate Gschu. Griz gets his ultimate hero moment after all, taking out the monk before he can release the kill shot. Master Po has to bow to the true heir, and Master Ze takes charge of the church—and of Colas’s rehabilitation. Gschu is declared the ruler, and together, she and Griz face the challenges of Habu’s future. Ceil on October 10, 2012 at 9:35 am Great blog, Anna-Maria, and helpful to see your examples.

Say Hi / Purchase Artwork / Collaborations / Interviews etc. below Contact BNG What collaborators say Tonie Warner, Founder of Yuja Yoga & Yuja Soul In addition to loving the design we landed on, I felt seen throughout the entire creative process. The process was the best part - it truly felt collaborative. Bianca was able to expertly and safely guide me towards the best choice that felt reflective of what I seek to offer, but also offer possibility and space. In this collaboration, I learned so much about branding and myself, as Bianca's creative process was able to guide me deeper into clarity regarding my voice and vision. Ankit Shah, Founder and CEO of Tea With Strangers I love your style of work. Your self-awareness, honesty, and life-loving approach to expressing yourself and your work inspires me, and I wanted to be a part of that. Tea With Strangers was just a fortunate avenue to do so, and I felt that your voice was beautifully aligned with my hopes for how Tea With Strangers would be perceived. I appreciate your willingness to work with me and accommodate my requests, your push back when you felt strongly about your preferences and the way that you communicated so clearly about your timeline and expectations. Karen Mok, Co-Founder & COO of The Cosmos Bianca is a visionary. I wanted to work with her because of her self-awareness and her ability to tell an authentic, relatable story with visual elements. She has an intuition that is magical, inspiring, and amazing to work with. Wayne Chang, Proprietor of WYC Technology You knew what I wanted and how you could help me me get there. Anything that lets me use less mental power on design is a win for me, and that starts with a mutual understanding of the project goals. I felt that you were able to quickly contextualize the project and present a great deliverable without much effort on my part. Sara R. Radin, Co-founder of It's Not Personal I wanted to work with you because of your insatiable curiosity and eagerness to collaborate and learn. You delivered results that were on brand, clean, simple and straightforward. You helped us create a strong brand identity that speaks to our growing platform. Julian Bridges, Writer, Filmmaker and Musician I chose to work with you due to two primary reasons: A) I know you personally, and you're an incredibly talented, kind, engaging human being. B) Your work is top-notch, and I think it brings a level of humanity and personality to logo/title design that typically isn't found in an increasingly tech-driven world. I loved the fact that you gave me several options to choose from and work with. Though I didn't entirely know what I was looking for (sorry!!), you were able to provide a whole array of different styles for me to choose from. That meant more to me than I can say. As someone who can readily be described as indecisive, it was unbelievably helpful to go through each of the several stages of experimentation! Additionally, I felt like we were able to communicate clearly and without any of the unnecessary formalities that some people tend to hold close. I honestly just thought it was a great process.

__label__cc	0.695656	0.304344	Mac: UK must leave us alone Cayman News \| 29/07/2011 (CNS): Cayman Premier McKeeva Bush has told other Overseas Territories leaders that the OTs are handcuffed by the UK. As reported by the local media in the Virgin Islands, at the opening ceremony of the recent Pre-Overseas Territories Consultative Council (OTCC) meeting Premier Bush said that, while the Overseas Territories (OT) appreciate the UK’s utmost concern for governors in the countries, the UK must leave them alone, and he revealed his intention to tell this to the Cayman governor and Britain. StandPoint.com reports that in his remarks on 22 July Bush said, “At the same time, the whole cliché still rings true that it is better to teach a man to fish than to give him the food,” adding that the OT welcomes tactical training in any area of mutually agreed need." Bush also told fellow delegates, “I will say to my governor and to the United Kingdom, leave us alone to do what we do best. Don’t ask if we can do it. Just see where we came from. We came from nothing to what we have. All we need is not for you to handcuff us, all we need is for the United Kingdom to help us and show us the way and in showing us the way, do not handcuff us because the same good governance (and I don’t care how people feel when it comes to that because it’s an issue that is strong to my mind) for 60 million people will not always determine the facts of good governance on my Island. The culture is different.” Bush went on to ask the attendees of the Pre OTCC to bear in mind that the representatives of the OT are the best advocates. “Let us also remember that our voices will always be strongest when they are shared and steadfast.” TheOTCC meeting brought together heads of government from the United Kingdom Overseas Territories (UKOTs) who met on Scrub Island from July 22 through 24 to deliberate on critical issues affecting their respective Territories. Present were the Virgin Islands Premier and Chairman of the pre-OTCC meeting Ralph T. O’Neal, Cayman Islands Premier McKeeva Bush, Chief Minister of Anguilla Hubert Hughes, Minister of Communications, Works and Labour for Montserrat Charles Kirnon and their accompanying delegations. Photo above: L-R Ralph T. O' Neal, Charles Kirnon, McKeeva Bush, Hubert Hughes The day UK leave us is the day I leave for the UK Libertarian says: Independence would be the worse thing that can happen to us. It would be better to annex ourselves to another superpower as protectorate than to go on our own. The UK's Foreign Office serves as our watchdog against corruption… that's of course, they do what they suppose to do: watchdog themselves! Let's exchange for residence rights in the US – as the "Gibraltar" poster said earlier. Independence cant work here! Mackeeva needs to go, not only leave Legislative Assembly but leave Cayman. Needs to stop spending our money, selling us out to foreigners, lying about what he has done for us, and wasting our resources. To add he also needs to be investigated for giving out our status's XXXX. My fellow caymanians do not support this clown. Dont you see by givin status out, limits our resources, causes higher unemployment especially for young Caymanians seeking jobs. Open your eyes recieving free washers, dryers, and fridges will not result in a great leader and running of our country.(as you can see) Stop voting for the wrong reasons. Think about your children and there future her in cayman. Think about your island. The UK have been good to us. They may have some flaws but who would u prefer?. And west bayers, just because mackeeva is your neighbour and gives you guys a few paved roads doesnt mean you have to aid in the distruction of our economy, corruption and future of those who actually want the best for cayman. bottom line…Mackeeva need to go. Mac….I wish you would leave us alone! dragon breath says: Mac is currently being investigated for a crime. As far as I know he is not guilty of any crime or corruption. So what the big fuss? What is the big deal? Sorry, nothing is for nothing! In order to boost the economy Mac has signed deals with Dart. How do you suggest we boost the economy? Haven't heard no solutions from Alden! Ifyou are asking Mac to stepped down during onging investigations, could you at least tell us who would replace his business common sense? If you can't find a replacement, then shut up! Isn't there elections in 2013. And I have read your comments on this article, they are sooooo stupid. Mac must go, but who will replace Mac! You seem to forget that the Uk will step in if we can't balance our budget before the deadline. Is Alden going to do it after putting us in serious debt hole? You would have to be smoking pot to believe in his flip-flops. One day Alden is for rollover, the next your same Alden is not for rollover. So tell me if he gets in and Cayman's population increase and lesser jobs for Caymanians, tell me, will that replace what Darts will be able to do in generating jobs? About Mac must leave Cayman during a recession? Who do you think you are? I agree totally with this – McKeeva is the worst of a bad bunch of politicians who "think" they can a run a country – but look at the mess we are in today…… huge debts and still trying to rob peter to pay paul, crime on the increase….jobs on the decrease… pay rises stifled – except for their own – they are allowed to draw their pensions – we can't… How fair and democratic is this? Politicians are some of our worst XXXX yet we keep voting them into power..! ridiculous……aalthoug to be fair they are just like politicians the world over….all in it for what their own personal gain – never really for the people… If this is how our politicians are trying to run this country as a dependency – God forbid the day that theUK steps aside and tells us get on with it ourselves….. The UK does not need us…. We need the UK…without the UK dependency this Island would be back to fishing for food and basket weaving….there would be no tourists, no banking jobs, no visitors…..Is this what we want or need? Mac, Try so find yourself an education. I don't want you representing me and I think the majority of people would agree. Stop making these statements as if you're a loyal, positive representative for Cayman. I don't think Cayman is in a position to go independent and considering the poor mismanagement of our finances, if UK wasn't there to apply pressure re: borrowing, Lord knows how much of a mess we would be in. You only want the Governor as obselete because of the inquiry against you. Perhaps in future, yes maybe we should. As of right now, no. I can only imagine chaos if you declared yourself the President. Might as well load the gun right now so i can shoot myself, figuratively speaking. Whodatis says: Sorry X Pat, but you would have been much better off simply saying; "Whodatis, you've hurt my feelings." Next …!! (Did you even understand that my post was centered on the historical events and "developments" leading up to the current state of nations such as Jamaica?) "Historical events and developments leading…" Ha ha ha More like WHODATIS' skewed and tainted interpretation of things he has no clue about. Ha ha ha ha ha For those who are saying I am UDP, a propagandist, someone who needs to see the doctor, a McKeeva lover, cheering for Independence, antogonistic lover of conflict, and all the names spewed out against me, let me just reiterate that everything McKeeva has said in the OTCC meeting is truthful. Opps… sorry. If you want to read more on what was said, visit this site – http://www.bviplatinum.com/news.php?page=Article&articleID=1311783835. Still… a British intervention is not the sole solution of resolving crime and corruption in the Cayman Islands. The Uk has required of us a new Constitution and they can always do it again with more checks and balances this time. The Uk does not have to dissolve Cayman's democracy and install a dictator. The Uk like the Premier said, can "teach us to fish" instead of trying to "give us a fish" or turn us into a welfare state like it has done in Turks and Caicos Islands. We currently have AntiCorruption Laws that have not been enforced. The Uk / Governor can respect the people's democracy and see to it that such AntiCorruption Laws are enforced. There is no justification for draconian, arbitrary, and harsh Uk rule over these islands without the people's consent. There is not warrant for "handcuffing" and dissolving the people's elected cabinet. But I guess… I am a Mckeeva lover, routing for Independence, and need to see doctor, because I speaking the truth. This is a result of what party politics is doing to Cayman. One party is attacking the next, and we are "dividing ourselves to be conquored." Cayman, we must unite and speak out against colonialism – on how the Uk mistreats the Overseas Territories. We can't allow party poli-tricks to make us blind to reality. If you look at the link above, the OTCC meeting has nothing to do with Virgin Islands, Anguilla, and Montserrat, seekingIndependence. See the link on the Premier's comments that are more lean towards the spirit of colonialism and draconian system. Why am I stressing this? Why am I not dropping this subject so easily? Because it does injustice to the OTCC meeting to portray it in the wrong light. By sayoing that the Premier was in this meeting because they were about Independence, is an assumption, and does an injustice to what this meeting was all about. Please think before you post. Regards. @ Libertarian, We are all literate and adequately educated individuals here on CNS. Ignore those that constantly attempt to miscontrue your words and perspective. For you see, at that point you are dealing with emotional beings. Their feelings are hurt. They are no longer logical but instead acting like a spoiled little toddler that relentlessly demands for the return of its pacifier (dummy / suck-suck). Don't waste time on those idiots my friend – let them be. Make your case as clearly as you can, based upon the way in which you see the situation and simply walk away. What more can you do? Absolutely nothing. * If you're like me you may want to use their ramblings as a means of having a little fun though! The Beaver says: You funny! Too bad you're trying to be taken so seriously… Ha ha ha ha ha The Beaver Please don't encourage him. No one is buying what he's trying to sell. Maybe a Xanax or two and we wouldn't have to wade through a hundred of his posts over the weekend. @ Liberterian, The usual suspects have shown their a$$es yet again as expected … just read immediately below. Don't worry bout dem doh – mos likely dey jus wex cuz dey facin rollowa in couple a dayz!! Re: " Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Sun, 07/31/2011 – 00:05. There was a survey done recently in Jamaica …" I hereby forward to you and the many supporters of your post the following repost that speaks to the primary issue raised. (Source: http://centos6-httpd22-php56-mysql55.installer.magneticone.com/o_belozerov/31115drupal622/world-news/2011/06/29/poll-reveals-60-jamaicans-long-days-colony) " Submitted by Whodatis on Wed, 06/29/2011 – 15:52. This is clearly a rather unfortunate sign of the mess that Jamaica now finds itself in today. When surrounded by daily chaos and turbulence it is almost impossible to see the bigger picture. What this survey failed to consider are the external factors that have contributed to the economic and socioeconomic hardships that exist in countries like Jamaica today. When "out-of-the-loop" nations like Jamaica decide to go independent, a planned and orchestrated tactic is devised to ensure both the impossibility of economic growth and the breakdown of civility within the country. For example, for hundreds of years (slavery) Jamaica was a major cash cow and source of natural resources / agriculture for not only its inhabitants but much of the Western world. Fast forward to the 1980's and 1990's and all of a sudden people are hungry and the country is mysteriously unable to feed itself, much less sustain a thriving industry of agriculture. However, the mystery is somewhat resolved when one acknowldges and understands the callous policies of institutions such as the IMF / World Bank / Inter-American (Latin American & Caribbean) "Development" Bank. (It is important to note and understand the bases, headquarters and entities behind these institutions.) The nature of the currency policies, lending "agreements", treaties and trade partnerships of these institutions are not intended to aid "development" in such countries, but instead to DESTROY them. When one understands that these institutions and their benefactors actually profit from and thrive off of the hardships and socioeconomic failures of the nations in question then it becomes clear that their was never a "mystery" in the first place. Interestingly as we look around the world today and as we see many European countries in turmoil (Greece is involved in bloody street riots at this very moment) the people are finally beginning to understand how this world is structured. They finally see that the traditionally shunned and disrespected people of the "third world" were not inherently ignorant, violent, uneducated, poor or inferior. No, most, if not all, of the economic hardships in this world are by deliberate and careful design. Traditionally most people dismissed the expectations of people by way of race, color or region, but today the aforementioned hardships have arrived at their backdoor. The western media has done an EXCELLENT job of instilling prejudice, blind patriotism and arrogance into the collective mindset of "nationalities" however, the world is awakening to the smoke and mirrors that have been propped up around them for decades now. Ironically, the "colonial masters" have experienced their own share of riots and protests. Their economy is one of the worst in the EU with almost 20% of its children now being brought up in "workless homes" (i.e. being housed, fed and clothed by the British government.) The simple fact is that regardless of history, background, race or creed – when people are made destitute they will resort to desperate and unthinkable measures to survive. Jamaica, like many other "developing" countries was never expected to be a success and the powers that dominate this world saw to it that this was the case. The people that make up the nation of Jamaica are so far removed on so many levels from the "in-the-loop" type of people that there is no question as to why they have endured such hardship since independence. Of course, all of this is not to excuse internal corruption and mismanagement, however, the internal factors are always subsequent to a pre-existence of corruption and callous policies from the outside. Therefore the findings of such a survey are far too simplistic to be given any consideration. Most people in the world are unaware of its realities or are simply too preoccupied with their daily survival to consider the external factors that create and contribute to their hardship. "The world to a man is what he sees." * I am certain many folks on here willdisagree with my perspective but this is the reality of the world in which we have lived and are living. Those that outrightly reject such reasoning are stuck in the misguided past and fortunately are a dying breed. This "democratically elected western world" is actually built to mimick a pyramid – and as we know there is not much room at the top and PLENTY of room at the bottom. (If you don't believe me you can go ask the 23 year old Athenian that has just hurled a slab of concrete at the city's riot police. Or perhaps you should interview the young British men that jumped upon Prince Charles' limo and jabbed his Camilla in her royal side.)" Ummh, yeah, Jamaica suffers from political, social and economic violence and corruption, beginning with those at the very top and ending with those at the very bottom, because of its own greedy and corrupt politicians and leaders. Blame the white man is an overused game that is losing its effect 20, 30, 40, and 50 years later… That's the problem with the Caribbean, Africa and other parts of the world – people unwilling to take personal responsibility… And why not, it's much easier to blame others for your own ills. "Ummh, yeah, Jamaica suffers from political, social and economic violence and corruption, beginning with those at the very top and ending with those at the very bottom …" And the same does not apply to the UK, USA, Spain, Greece etc.?! My friend, do you own a television? Do you use your internet connection for anything other than material to feed your ignorant state of existence? (Sorry, but that assumption must be made in light of your comments.) Go and ask the YOUNG, WHITE, BRITISH kids that set London alight just a few months back about "blaming the white man". While you're at it take a trip over to France, Ireland, Portugal and Spain and do the same. (Or are you one of those that breaks down "whiteness" by way of Anglo, Saxon, Germanic, Slavic, etc.?) My point is that Europe (white people / "the white man") is experiencing the same oppression that other "non-white" nations experienced in yesteryear. Where many people assumed they were safe from the foreign savages of the world – they now find themselves in shock and awe as the same forms of oppression have arrived at their front doors. Obviously my words were lost on you and are determined to remain in your state of uninformed bliss. Individuals like yourself will never wake up to the reality of this world and will likely die content within your own misunderstanding. To each his own though. P.S. In thefuture please refrain from using such cheap, and lowly cards within this forum – at least when replying to any of my posts. It runs the risk of devaluing what otherwise is sound and interesting discussion. Your cooperation is very much appreciated in this regard. Thank you. Thanks for your very astute synopsis. The very sad part of the whole thing as you pointed out in your pyramid example is that we who comment on these pages are but a very small fraction of society. The overwhelming majority of people either do not care or are uninterested in attempting to steer our ship into the future. Wealth trickles up and poverty trickles down but corruption trickles everywhere Charles Darwin was a very smart and observant man. His theory of Natura Selection which shows the Surival of the Fittest can be seen in every aspect of our world. When good men stand by and do nothing, nature will eventually work things out. This is guaranteed, it just takes a bit longer. "The very sad part of the whole thing as you pointed out in your pyramid example is that we who comment on these pages are but a very small fraction of society." That is so very true. X Pat says: "Those that outrightly reject such reasoning are stuck in the misguided past…….." So, anyone who disagrees with you is wrong? I outrightly reject such reasoning of yours on the grounds that it is shallow, contrived and seriously prejudiced against developed nations and the UK in particular. How can you blame the current corruption in Goverment on the "pre-existence of corruption and callous policies from the outside". And I ask again, what "callous policies" has the UK imposed on Cayman lately, or ever for that matter? Apart from maybe putting a warship into George Town occasionally to remind neighboring nations that this place is defended? I'm sure Mr. "Leave Us Alone" will not fail to mention to prospective lenders that the UK's full faith and credit backstop is implied in our loan agreements. It is actually the only note feature that would cling us to the edge of investment-grade. Sorry X-Pat the article spoke the truth, plain and simple, you might not want to believe it but it is the truth. The reason so many are against my post and its holdings are because it disintegrates their misconceived assumptions of exceptionalism within their groups. End of. They would rather try to ignore truth than admit that they have been wrong all along. (Even when that truth is clearly relevant to their own current state of affairs!) How does that saying go? "Pride goes before a fall." Unfortunately, their societies are now "falling" to the very fates that have devoured others. Can't you prove your point without having to bring Jamaica into the topic? Knot S Smart says: Every reckless outburst from our leaders seem to go from worst to worst! Which gives me some concern that the rest of the world might soon start perceiving us as the 'Island of the Apes'. Mr. Premier, You please leave us alone. Stop: ignoring crime, wasting our money, playing favourites, ignoring unemployment, promising projects which never materialise, avoiding giving us the true financial picture, travelling first class on our money and trying to cover up the fact that you are being investigated. UK please do not leave us alone with this man. MER says: So I guess this is the beginning of our independence from the UK and Bush's true dictatorship career? I say follow Gibraltar's lead… Seriously people! In the interest of our future (and the impending global financial/currency realignment or crash) I say we negotiate Now with the USA and UK, and exchange Some of our finance system for the option of shared ownership (and residency rights) with the US. Keep enough to remain viable (ie Isle of Man/New York) and work within the new global framework. We have no choice, right? Gibraltar has such an arrangement – called a "condominium" arrangement. I'd rather be a (semi) dependant of the US/UK than to risk independence! Who'd want that -we cant feed or defend ourselves – Cheese Louise Cayman! I urge those who love their country, to not stop telling the truth no matter what. Don't be discouraged. Yes, we are outnumbered now in our own home country, but God is on our side. The right side is always God's side – a call for unity. To the few of us who see for the need of national unity against UK colonialism to improve our relations with them, do not be discouraged by the thumbs down ratings of this site, nor the comments that appear partisan. At times, we are misrepresented as those who want Independence; especially, here we are portrayed to be UDP supporters. This is how "divide and conquor" works on this site and other sites: they make it appear that one of our parties is against the other party; or, they blow out of proportion a political issue to start fire. So you read CNS comments and can't believe people would be so lost and blinded by the party politics. I urge those who love their country, don't get caught up in party politricks. If you want a party to join, join the party of Truth, and follow no man! Sure, why not just ignore the corruptpoliticians who are running this country into the ground and just pray for God to save us. Of course he will, and why shouldn't he. After all, we have more churches per capita than any country on Earth. Your comment reminds me of the story about the Priest and the Rabbi. A town is flooding and the water is up to the roofs so the Rabbi gets in his boat and rows over to the neighboring church to find the Priest standing on the roof of his church.The Rabbi says, "Come on Father, get in the boat". The Priest says, "No, I have prayed to God to save me and I know he will". So the Rabbi rows away and comes back later when the water is even higher. Now the Priest is clinging to the top of the steeple. The Rabbi says, "Come on Father, get in the boat". Again the Priest refuses help and professes his faith that God will answer his prayers and save his life. He sends the Rabbi away. Eventually, the water rises even higher and the Priest is taken by the flood. He goes to heaven and meets God. He asks God why after having such strong faith and leading a good and holy life did God not spare him from the flood. God responds, "I sent you a life boat twice and you refused to get in". Our life boat is our laws and our desire to enforce them in making our political system work for us and not against us. Thanks for the story. The saying that goes, "God helps those who helps themselves" rings true today. Your story also reminds me of the story of "Miss Janice" which recently sank about five hours after leaving Cayman. The boat like the law has its imperfections. Yes, our MLA's can do what they can to utilize the boat, but if the UK like the Port Authority, does not inspect the boat and help us to amend our laws and Constitution, we will sink. So we need the outsight oversight and help from the UK. This is another lesson we can learn: we can't manage Miss Janice on our own, and we don't expect the Port Authority officers to drive the boat for us with their British rule. Rather, inspect the boat, help us enforce the law, so we can safely drive the boat on our own. That is being fair, because we "elect" our leaders. Cayman Stew says: i love it. well said! god is on our side too Libertarian, You speak the truth and explan the facts so well, my hat off to you. D.O. Double G says: Me thinks Snoop Dogg released Mac's 2013 campaign song a bit too soon.. Big Whopper says: MAC S..T..F..U…. PLS What a pathetic bunch of ignorant and narcissistic idiots. Do us all a favor and honestly examine the state of your home nations today and try to realize how ridiculous are the things being uttered within this thread. The (greater) western world is in no position to criticize others in regards to corruption, bad government or financial irregularities. Rather than focus so much time and attention on the issues surrounding Cayman and the OT's – try to dedicate that passion to the reversal of the broken state of your economies, societies, communities and general morale. As for corruption … let us not go there – too much to choose from. Don't believe me? Simply open a copy of "The News of the World" … whoops!! Faded glory is such a sad reality. Furthermore, as the world becomes more transparent and equitable it becomes glaringly obvious that certain formerly "great" nations were only able to achieve such status via oppression, corruption and trickery. Given a clean state they are sliding off the top rungs one by one. However, not to worry – when in fear … Enter: Military / Fake threats / Illegal invasions etc. Very sad indeed. ** Once again, it is quite comical that today the UK has to rely on bullying tiny island nations like ours in order to feel useful and relevant in the 21st Century. Says quite a lot doesn't it? I for one would never consider her as a strong and admirable mother. In fact, she presents more as a used and worn out old hag – you know, the type that cries in the mirror as she wishes for yesteryear. ……"today the UK has to rely on bullying tiny island nations like ours" ….. OK, what bullying have they done to Cayman? Come on, give some specific answers, not just rhetoric about colonialism. Hello? How have Caymanians suffered at the hand of the UK? The thing about corruption in the UK and other developed nations is that they root it out and make a big noise about it when they do. Unlike here where it is tolerated to the degree that it is the norm. Bush has made another embarressing smell that stinks to high heaven. Cayman should be appalled that he comes out with such remarks without consulting his Governemant or the people at large .Why don't you concentrate on commenting on the matter at hand rather than looking for an opportunity to bad-mouth the UK? Mr Premier with the best of intentions for these your beloved islands, please step down and appoint another from your party to your position temporarily until this investigation is done. I know that justice will prevail and you should have nothing to fear. Please do not give the UK a reason to come in here and impose direct rule as they did in TCI and ruin our economy. As a UK Tax Payer I would be very happy if the bushman was able to lessen my tax bill, or at least have my tax money spent on worthier causes. There is a bigger problem than the UK. It's called West Bay. Learn to vote for the right reasons or don't vote at all. Incognito says: Arn't you people aware of what is going on. Senor Bush has done, said and acted in such a negative way in the past few months, he had to atleast say something that the masses would agree with. You all can debate about this, but to wise, it's just a hack so that you guys can ease off him a bit. Its better to say he has a big mouth than to say he's trying to sell off the island. lol. This as usual is a smoke screen. The man is smart. His spouting about this situation will get no where and he knows that, but if he looks a bit interested in the welfare of the island, then he might can regain some allies. Not to mention, s It's really sad to know and feel that whenever your LOGB does something that "looks" in the favor of the country, people tend to wonder what XXXX. Something else going on, and this is his way of make people look the next way. Watch and see To be safe all, you betta tek his wud wid a grain a salt and dont hold you breath,,, cause it might be your last one. R Ebanks says: We Caymanians seem to be good at shooting guns so at least the new army we will have to form will have one plus point. On a negative though is the fact that other than fighting the expats we have no experience of war. Oh well can’t be that hard can it? i mean we have loads of cash to buy the best weapons and equipment etc. How can it go wrong for us. On another note (no pun intended) how much do you think it will cost to change and reprint our NEW dollars with no queen on them. Sounds like money well spent to me. Your ramblings sounds like a bunch of Garbledy Gook to me. This departs from the subject matter of the original CNS story but to I'd like to make a counterpoint raised by a poster: Over the same 30+ years most countries have also declined economically and morally. I lived in Britain in the 1970s and seriously considered making it my home as I was accepted in the area of the country where I lived, had become socially (and physically) acclimated and the opportunities for education of my children and the advantages of life in a largersociety and older culture were obvious. But I returned to Cayman – just before the rise of the National Front and the Thatcher years. I made what I feel was the better choice, as standards of life in England have since declined. The amenities of life have no doubt modernized but I have visited often since and still have family there who admit the same. I would venture to say that English people will identify many of the same reasons for the decline of their society as we do in Cayman. My point is, economic, social and moral standards have declined all over the world (except perhaps Singapore!) and unfortunately, Cayman has been no different. After all, in 30+ years our population has tripled, our immigration policies have followed international trends and multiculturalized our society and our accommodation of this growth (education, expansion of the economic base, etc.) has not improved – for reasons which could be debated as another subject. So, apart from international trends and similarities, we didn't help our own case very much in some ways but we are not alone in moral and economic decline. I find Mac’s rambling most entertaining. Does he not realize that he is the head of Nation that is smaller than most small towns in America. His Title of Premier is laughable. Mayor of Cayman county would be more suitable. While we are at it We should change his name to Boss Hogg. I’m just trying to figure who the Dukes are in this scenario. A True Democrat says: Mr. Libertarian, It is quite obvious that you have chosen your penname not because you adhere to the true meaning of the word liberty, but only when it suits your particular type of libertarianism. Meaning anything that falls within the ambit of the UDP style of governance. Please be assured that the last thing I would be advocating is a takeover by the FCO whose record of governance is equally as bad as that of a dictatorship. However to continue to let things run themselves [ laissez-faire] as you are suggesting, is simply put "madness". Please note that the cause of the intervention in TCI was exactly the kind of corruption that has been perpitrated here on this island for quite some time. What is needed now more than anything are honest hardworking politicians, who when sworn"under oath" to uphold the law and adhere to our constitution will do just that. If we could accomplish this, then maybe, just maybe we will not have to be concerned about a take over like that which has occurred in TCI. Dear True Democrat, You don't understand what I meant by "laissez-fare." I was not referring to the unholy marriage between private entities or elite persons with the elected government. Most libertarians would agree that governments may engage in private sector deals when it comes to the essential services and operations of government; however, they all oppose unfair concessions, special favors, and receiving favors from private entities. They oppose the wasted monies pumped into nonessential services. The private sector must be allowed to thrive on its own without any government interference or intermingling, and the government should be a small and effective political body. Here, my usage of laissez-fare is really about individual rights and freedoms within a democracy. I think those rights should be "laissez-fare rights" – that's what I mean by the usage of the word. But note that I don't condone a society without laws to protect people, employees, and customers. I don't condone the increasing size of government expenditure, the only increase should be in the essential services like police. All like Public works can be privatized, and public-private partnership deals can be made so long those deals are devoid of any special favors. As for me being UDP, call me anything you like, because it appears that I hop sides, when in reality, I don't follow personalities, but the issues. I am Independent. Now as to relying on our politicians to uphold the laws in order to fight corruption, I don't believe that is possible without the help of the UK ensuring such measures are enforced. Truman Bodden and Company recommended that our Constitution was devoid of important "checks and balances." I think we should have a better drafted Constitution. However, to avoid extremity, the Uk like the Premier said, should not handcuff or suspend the local government whenever they feel like. Change has to take place not through arbitrary means, but through having a laissez-fare approach, due to respecting the people's rights and individual freedoms of their self-determination. A full British style intervention like TCI, should not be tolerated. The leaders should always speak out it against that, because it will not only hurt the financial reputation of these islands, dissolve the little democracy that we have if they had to take us over, due to a "corruption charge." The draconian method is old, immoral, and abuse of power that is unnecessary. The inhabitants have no say… so worse, it is non-democratic. Right now, our Constitution is immaterial to the fact that under clause 125, they can for the cause of socalled "good governance" at any time disregard the conditional democracy here in the Cayman Islands without working with the Cayman Islands government in fighting crime and corruption. Again, this can not be done without their help! As a Libertarian, I support the Uk's "arbitrary measures" on ensuring our local politicians do their jobs in fighting Corruption, and I support other joint initiatives between the UK and our local government. But I severly oppose declaring full rule with no regard for the people of these islands. I think that is being extreme and abuse of power. Regards If, under investigation (for 18-months now remember), the Premier refuses to stand down voluntarily, and the opposition are unable to muster a majority of the LA to force him to stand down, the only other option is for the Govenor to dissolve parliment and bring in the UK. If Bush tries to hang in (as it appears he is doing) and he continues to treat the UK with utter contempt it will not be long before the UK steps in on the grounds of uncorrected corruption. The Premier's arrogance, and the opposition's total ineptness at bringing this despot to book are bringing Cayman to the verge of a UK takeover. Shame on the whole political class if you let this happen. My friend, dissolving the Parliament and bringing in the UK is NOT the only option. The Governor can respect the people's democracy and elected representatives. I am sure there are are many ways on how they can pursue "good governance" in the Cayman Islands. The OTCC meeting was about the way the UK deals with the Overseas Territories. The Premier was making a remark about colonialism, which entails arbitrarily declaring full British Rule on the territories. This meeting (if you read) had nothing to do with Independence like some of the commenters are saying on this site, turning this issue into a partisan one. Also, the British takeover (and many will disagree with me) wouldn't really be Cayman's fault because the "will" for a takeover rest in the hands of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, and they and Governor are not cornered or force in taking Cayman over. They have the "will" to respect the people's democracy. It is not like their hands are tied and therefore they MUST take us over. They can do the right thing. If a takeover occurs, rest assure that it is the "special interest" that would be behind the intervention. That's my view. There is always a trade off. As an OT we get to shelter under the extended political stabiltiy of the UK. However the UK remains primarily responsible for any liabilities/contingencies arising from treaties/conventions which they may have extended to us. It should therefore be no surprise that the UK will monitor our actions to ensure that we don't act in a manner which triggers further liabilities for them. The situation in the TCI resulted from a culture of corruption where individuals did not speak out for fear of reprisals. The UK was forced to step it to properly investigate the rampant corruption there. If we don't want a TCI situation we have exercise our democratic right to speak out, demand respect for the established processes and procedures, and most important demand that our elected representative know that they are accountable to us. Granted, the Governor and UK will act in their best interest of our Island provided it is also in the uK's interest. This simply means that our destiny is intertwined with the UK's and it is important that our actions and the actions of our representatives is not in conflict with the UK's interest. I for one am happy to be sheltered under the politically stable umbrella of the UK where I enjoy the rule of law and human rights and a system which delivers due process. How about you Cayman? Do you really want Mac to run off at the mouth where he reduces us to banana repulic of which he's the dictatior? cow itch says: i was thinking a grass republic would have been more feasible Despite Mac's tactlessness (intentional?), he is absolutely correct in this matter. Which colonial power ever meant well for its colonies? I don't care what they call us – Dependent Territory, Overseas Territory, whatever – we are a colony to them and that mentality has changed little in 400 years. Does anyone not see how the UK has always sided against us in matters of financial industry regulations, while favouring Switzerland and Lichtenstein? Why are Territories like Falklands and Gibralter favoured (IOM & Channel Islands are categorized differently) over the Caribbean territories? Have we forgotten the Brian Gibbs era? Do we think that has passed? If anything, they've become more involved to sabotage our industry. Reasons can be debated – taking business from the City, hiding taxable pounds, our lack of finacial dependence loosens their grasp, etc., etc. The rusults are the same – as long as we choose to remain as a Territory we will be under as much UK control as we will tolerate. I will never forget a novel read to my first form class by our English English teacher back in 1968, of the British experience in southern Africa set in the late part of the 1800s. It was rife with "Bwana" mentality and being portrayed to our young minds as an 'exciting' way of life. I often wonder as to the purpose of that teacher's choice and consider that it was the embedded mentality that he came to the Caribbean with which reflected the mentality he was presenting to us from a century earlier – brainwashing? After all, there are still some Brits who view Americans as their subjects. No, colonial mentality will not change so at least Mac is letting the "powers that be" know that "Bwana" mentality is not welcomed here. Yeah Mac!!! Over the past 30+ years I have seen Cayman go from growth and prosperity to an economic and moral spiral downward. None of our current problems of crime, unemployment and declining economic conditions are a result of anything the UK has done but are a direct result of our own flawed policies and inept and possibly corrupt leadership. The UK has acted only as a mother would watch her child at the beach, making sure the child didn't wander off or go into the ocean without supervision. Otherwise the child is free to play and do as it likes as long as its acitvities are not harmful to themself or others. All of our problems are our fault. Be thankful that we have a watchdog that puts the breaks on when things get too out of hand. If the UK had not been present we would be in considerably worse shape today. The Premier seems to make statements over and over that point to his desire for independence. Why doesn't he just come out and tell us his view on the issue so we can stop guessing and know where he stands. We are not being oppressed by the UK but if we allow our leaders too much rope to hang themselves with we will all be singing a different tune when the UK finally has to come in to clean things up. The Union Jack on our flag gives us tremendous credibility as a country. Without it we are just another third world banana republic (without many bananas) and tourism and the financial industry will vanish overnight. Will you be saying,"Yeah Mckeeva" when you are wondering where your next meal will come from? You see, that is where we disagree. The Premier's words does not have to mean that he desires Independence. That is an assumption that does injustice to the truth: colonialism is alive and well, and it must be stopped. Nothing is communicated that the OTCC meeting was a meeting with the Virgin Islands, Montserrat, and Anguilla leaders for Independence! Where in this article do you see anything about Independence? Please be truthful and factual and demiss your assumptions when making claims. The Virgin Islands Platinum News site, tells you what this OT meeting was all about – no Independence was mentioned amongst the members, but full cooperation with the UK. See for yourself – http://www.bviplatinum.com/news.php?page=Article&articleID=1311783835 Come on says: The UK can't propaganda their way from the OTs naturally wanting independence. It's not a dirty word. It's the natural progression and evolution of western civilization and has worked rather well for the commonwealths. Listen everyone, the clue is simple. The UK is creating a new white paper and has already secretly dismantled the 1999 white paper giving rights to the OTs. The OTs are going down one by one. Whether the "pushy" pro-UK bloggers are insane or induced, they are wrong. The UK has been calculating for YEARS on keeping control without giving the OTs autonomous rights or reciprocal rights. Let's face it. The UK is going to force this thing to happen. They want the power over our economy and resources without giving us a thing in return. Our future generations will clean it up because we're too clueless or too late to plan a proper opposition. I chuckled reading a comment (of all the comments) from someone saying the UK couldn't want anything from us only good governance. How cute. The UK has VAT power to gain, moral authority, natural resources, commercial revenue, land revenue …. need I go on? Yawn to such doopey thinkers. The UK could care less about corruption … need I go on to explain that? There was a survey done recently in Jamaica asking Jamaican's living in Jamaica their views on Becoming Independent, the result was that 60% regretted becoming independent of Great Britain. One of the main reasons politicians seek independence all over the world since in the late 50's & 60's was to have have full control of their finances ( the main reason, history has proven was to steal their Countries revenue, look at Africa & almost all of the Caribbean as prime examples) In addition the political party system has proven all over the world to be: childish, top heavy, full of corruption, & in the world eyes never able to work together which has never been a good example for the citizens of their countries, these politians get paid millions & steal even more & look like assholes to us all. If Cayman wants to hold on to what little reputation it has left we better understand the consequences of making that decision, just remember all the maids, gardeners, & poor workers from the Caribbean seeking to work in Cayman, that was because, of our position in the world as the only affluent Caribbean country (through Great Britain) Even that poll that surveyed 1000 people is questionable – it does not represent all Jamaicans. I am sure that the young generation that were drill on this poll, knew nothing about how the days were like during Independence. I read the poll in the Jamaican Gleaner, and the company that did this poll had previous questionable polls done as well that were inaccurate. Jamaica love their Independence Day. When the event comes every year round, music, festivities, dancing, partying, and even fireworks. Thousands of Jamaicans come out and celebrate their culture. Please don't take polls as facts! you obviously know nothing about opinion polls…. You forgot that he got all the expats to vote for him? And he is going to be elected again. Judean People's Front says: One slight flaw to your argument …… Expats cannot vote! They can if you give them a Cabinet grant of status and they get naturalised. The party system has gotten hold on many of us that we are unable to see that we are on the same ship, and our relations with the UK should not only be strengthened, but improved! And in order to improve this bond, we have to back our leaders (whether they are PPM or UDP or Independent) that speaks out against the wrongful dealings of the UK on such territories like TCI. Cayman can only succeed and prosper only when the UK learns to allow its citizens to thrive in a laissez-fare democracy that is unhindered by them. And only when they finally USE the anti-corruption laws we have to fight crime rather than dissolving a people's democracy and Constitution in order to do it. Cayman, let us stand for our democratic rights and not get caught up on political rhetoric "dividing ourselves to conquor." Wake-up and let us unite for our national interest. The Premier may not be of good character, but the OTCC meeting against colonialism and what they stand for in this meeting, must not be buried away in silence. The TCI Legal System did not fight crime by using the available anti-corruption laws because there was no local political will to do so. The same can be said for the Cayman Islands. Do you note the parallels or do they somehow escape you? What good are laws when they are not being enforced? The UK stepped in because corruption ran rampant and unchecked and someone had to step in. TCI took up the rope that they were given and hung themselves with it. The UK stepped in because the UK stopped rendering assistance and stop doing what they said they would do to properly govern the island. They didn't had to step in. They could had respected the people's democracy. A none E:mouse says: There's an old saying that goes! It's not for the lack of a tongue why cows can't talk. Equally, there is a saying 'Rythm is a dancer'. Both have obscured origins, make no apparent sense and are as prophetic as any MOU that has recently been agreed! very insulting… my tongue is just fine, you mouse! What an ungrateful spoilt child! Mac doesn't seem to recognise that we gained political stabiltiy ONLY because we operate under the umbrella of the UK. Mac is determined to turn us into every other banana republic in the region with kangaroo courts to booth! Our culture is different! what poppycock! Good governance is all about follow procedure which can be objectively scrutinised. Mac is clearly running scared of the increase scrutiny. He's feeling the pressure people! Sharen says: Nobody is talking independence we are talking protecting ourselves from UK draconian procedures as they did in TCI. For the political agents taking control over these comments and net waves, please see that throwing Mac out of office with UK will not give us new elections (elections were suspended again in TCI last week for the upteenth time). It will get us direct rule. It will hurt us dramatically as a culture and as a people. There was no need for UK to take autonomy and democracy from TCI. Besides allegations still unproven by the UK, they had laws in place in TCI to deal with Misick that the UK governor should have exercised. Misick is still walking a free man as Libertarian said. If there was so much proof of corruption, he should be behind bars. But everyone wants to scream corruption and take away freedom from TCI people when the target of the accusations hasn't even been tried. The UK had every function to stop corruption under TCI's old constitution but the UK is stretching to make a connection to Misick to bring a new constitution which it did. The TCI had no say in the new constitution primarily because the UK snuck some terms allowing expats to vote in TCI. These will be some blessed new voters in TCI from the UK. They will have voting rights in UK & TCI and will have legal recourse in the UK. They have no legal responsibility in or to TCI for their actions but can make determinations by their vote. We have to stop, stop, stop listening to the political agents telling us this is good for us to have UK intervene. Let's stop, take a deep breathe and think about what it means to be stripped of our self determination. Maybe Mac did something wrong, but let's work this out as a country or we risk losing control of it. Please friends, help us spread some good sense. Timeless, nationally unifying, and non-partisan. Thank you, Sharon. The message needs to get out there to the young. Dear Sharen, Please tell therest of us how the UK takeover of TCI was beneficial economically or politically for the UK. How do you see the UK benefitting from this? The only benefit I see is that of protecting the people of TCI from bad governance at great cost to the UK. If you see something else please reply. A mother bird does not kick her chicks out of the nest until they are ready to fly. Obviously TCI is far from being able to fly and is a thorn in the mothers' side that must be dealt with. I assure you that independence isn't even a consideration in TCI. Although that is the ultimate goal. All Overseas Territories are a costly burden for the UK. They do not possess extra power or financial gain by retaining OT. The only reason they don't just cut us all loose to fend for ourselves is because that would be irresponsible and in some cases inhumane. They have a vested interest in their colonies and will do what is takes to assure order is maintained. Anonymous2 says: Don't be fooled! Not everyone in the UK benefits from TCI takeover. It is like you saying if US benefited from invading Iraq – Answer: No and Yes! Obviously you have no idea about how bad it was in TCI. It was so bad that they are still sifting through the piles of illegal contracts, undeclared accounts, unsecured "loan agreements" and other soft and hard dollar transactions. The TCI people were the victims of their own politicians. The opposition candidates are not necessarily innocent or an improvement over the current administrative control. If you talk to serious TCI business owners, this action has been a Godsend. Business and development which had fled is starting to return now. Wow, if that don't get somebody offended on our Mother Country ( O T. ministers) specially. Can something be done to declare this man unfit to Lead our Country because he is not speaking for the majority of us the People ! I real feel ashame I must admit Truth Police says: "…on MY island". Not yours, not mine, not ours, HIS! …and when I said Bushtalk 101, didn't mean that his last name is Bush. More to the effect that this man just got out of the bush. I man born ya. 🙂 The Beaver The UK knows better and that the statement make by the Premier is only a smoke screen to divert attention away from the real issue at hand. Caymanians will ultimately decide their own fates and I have all confidence in the Caymanian populace we know that silenceis golden a rule that our Premier is all too willing to forget and follow empty barrels. Bushtalk 101. The Beaver Caymanians you are the real idiots for voting this guy back in.. like yall have the memory of a fish! #jussayin not today LuLu says: I don't think you have to worry about that, HE NOT GETTING BACK IN . Lucky if he completes this term. I am compelled to start getting involved to the needy and deprive in West Bay and have a little talk with the folks to make certain they understand what's going on and take it from there. No sir, we are not going to take this laying down and further who don't desassociate(?) with this man, will lose the respect of many. MARK MY WORDS How about West Bayers? The majority of Caymanians would NEVER vote for McKeeva. Empty Chair says: Why doesn't "Mac leave us alone"? A lot of us "Caymanians" did not vote McKeeva in, or the UDP, so don't blame this whole mess on all of us. Thank you. Under the previous PPM Administration The Chuckster and Alden were the two Ministers that traveled the most. We never once had any embarrassing comments coming from either of those two gentlemen. Their comments were always coherent, measured, diplomatic and sensible. Contrast that to what we have now: Bullying, incoherent, undiplomatic, embarrassing, third world bushtalk ! Why won't the UDP puppets remove Mac from power ? Perhaps they all owe him too much and he owes others too much so they need to keep the DollyHouse in order. So the answer is in the hands of the people to act. The question : can we wait until 2013? Thats a very serious question Cayman ! I'm trying to figure out what is embarrassing about Mac comments above? Stiffed-Necked Fool says: Hey CJ, your parents should have used CJand you wouldn't be around to make such stupid comments! You failed to point out some other obvious and important differences with Charles Clifford and Alden compared to the Premier. The two former Ministers are educated, smart, tactical and honest ! Mac is……..well…….certainly none of the above ! Mac will do all he can to draw attention away from the investigation into his prior activities. A primate is at it's most dangerous when injurued, and I'm sure we'll see a great deal of gnashing, scratching, bluster, posturing, and misdirection over the coming months. I have a message for Mac too – Leave us alone! (the sooner the better) Mac please shut up. You continue to shame us. Cayman People – Mac must leave!. Than what? Stop the projects and replace him for Alden? Good idea – well argued 🙂 what projects?…..nothing has been done in 2 years….. Dred says: We are in dire need of an alien abduction. I believe we have waited far too long for this man to grow a brain. I woudl call him a mental midget but I wouldn't want a midget riot on my hands. Cayman is ruined libertarian(?)= thumbs down….. i like! If the Premier wants to tell the Governor and Britain something then tell them why he was requesting money from Stan Thomas. Tell them why the sewage system hasn't been sold. Tell them why he went to Cohen for a loan, XXXXX. There are many things that we would lke to hear him tell the Governor before telling him that we can handle our own affairs, which obviously we can't. People memory is so short. Do any one remember why the Uk took over TCI. I will remind you, because there was speculation of corruption by their Premier and he would not step a side for a proper investigation. Is this not the same thing that is happening to us, but no one is asking our Premier. to temporay step down. We the people should be marching so that we don't go down the same road. I make this statement without any affiliation to either party, but because its the right thing to do. What happen to us as Caymanians? do we no longer have any morals? is it ok for us to just stand by and watch and see wrong doing and look the other way? Caymanians get a back bone and do what we know is right, XXXXX The uk took over tci for other reasons than corruption. Corruption could have been dealt with in tci, but they had other things on their mind. It seems like Caymanians can only pry on their own people to try and destroy them, I've seen it in my 59 years here. Why are you all so hell bent on moving the only man on the island, that has the balls to try and bring the Cayman Islands economy back up and running. I wonder what death sentance you all would put on President Obama and Senate Republican leader Mitch Mc Donnell, both fighting to keep America's AAA rating. At the moment, fighting to raise their debt ceiling. Serious debate going on at the moment. Why are you so adamant to remove Mac on speculation of corruption?and asking him to step down.("please Mac tempory step down)! you all sound like a bunch of primary school children…you really think Caymanians are stupid…Mac got more common sense that half of you. Talk about morals, you take a look at in the mirror recently. Let me tell you what you should be marching for, better opportunies for your brother Caymanians, better education and training, amending the burdensome laws that causing small businesses to fold, the stupid pension scheem that is exporting the poor man's investment, the mandatory work permit fees that the small businesses have to pay for their employees. Stop the childishness act of prying on the personalities of you polititions, ammend the unfair laws. Nothing will change, you replace Mac, these laws will always be there. Loopy Lou says: So this is what fear sounds like . . . I did wonder what was the context of the Premier's statement — and the media do tend to run with what sounds like sensationalist copy without giving the full background and context in which the statements are made — and that can give a very different colour to what was being said. Nevertheless, aspects of the story are worth commenting on. It was a bit difficult to follow the most interesting part of the quote, something to the effect that good governance is different in different cultures. I am not sure I agree with that — ethics and integrity are the same wherever you go — and that is broadly what good governance means to me, as it applies to how government is managed, etc., of course. More specifically,the Auditor General at the recent UCCI conference defined good governance as: "Governance relates to the institutions, processes and systems by which countries and organisations are governed. For a definition, I’ve used the International Federation of Accountants (IFAC) study paper, “Governance in the Public Sector: A Governing Body Perspective, 2001”, that states “Governance is concerned with structures and processes for decision-making, accountability, control and behaviour at the top of organizations.” The AG further quoted the IFAC study paper: “effective governance in the public sector can encourage the efficient use of resources, strengthen accountability for the stewardship of those resources, improve management and service delivery, and thereby contribute to improving peoples’ lives. Effective governance is also essential for building confidence in public sector entities — which is in itself necessary if public sector entities are to be effective in meeting their objectives.” From my perspective, however you take it, whether a technical definition as above or a broad definition, good governance is the same in principle wherever you go. Clearly, however, the systems that seek to promote good governance must be adapted to local conditions, and I can't see how anyone would disagree with that. Does the Premier mean that in banana republics one set of rules apply with regard to what is good governance? Sure, that would obviously be in opposition to most modern democratic societies that are striving for best practices and strong moral codes. We really don't want to go down that road. The idea that he is communicating that things are or should be done differently here with regard to "good governance" is not just a little worrying, especially in the context of the ongoing investigation. http://www.bviplatinum.com/news.php?page=Article&articleID=1311360173 Notice the comments on that BVI story are eerily similar to the comments on CNS re corruption etc. Ummm… but Cayman's culture is different from the UK and the facts of "good governance" varies. I posted a comment a few days ago about what an utter embarrassment JuJu and macdicktator are here much less to go abroad and further embarrass us and it was not published…….let me add a word or two and see if that helps……Effin Embarrasing and im not the only one who is embarrassed by them…post this and lets see….. I hope it is posted and I am going to add my support for that statement. The sooner the Governor dissolves the L. A. and calls for a new election, the better for the islands. McDicktator is running these islands singlehandedly into a banana republic. The majority in the L.A. are all a part of his party and he will not allow the opposition to intervene or even comment on his XXXXX schemes. That is a dictatorship, He has some very-well educated men in his party, but due to his blustering and threatening, they seem to be cowed into agreeing with him. A good man would look at the situation in his country and decide to stop wasting the money on his own personal wants and wishes, just because, and I quote, "it is all a part of my benefits as the premier of the islands". Be that as it may, in "good governance", he would look at the fact that his country is suffering and cut back on the world travel. McKeeva is an uneducated blusterer and has been allowed to bluster and holler himself into the top position in the country. XXXXX I am trying to get my family to seriously look at returning to the US, because, even if the worldwide recession has affected everywhere, we would be able to buy food and our electric bill would not overshadow the "world debt". You say, "The sooner the Governor dissolves the L. A. and calls for a new election, the better for the islands." The Governor could call for a special referendum to see who would want elections called to remove the Premier from power. That would be the most democratic and fair approach. But a full British rule like how so many ignoranmous people are saying on this site, is non-democratic! Why would anyone have a referendum to see whether to call elections? That is just double unnecessary expense. The election is in its own referendum. Mac needs to leave us alone and stop imposing his idiotic schemes with billionaires on us! a naw no mouse says: 2013 cannot come soon enough! I don't think Independence is the best way forward for the Cayman Islands. But I do agree with the Premier and the leaders of Virgin Islands, Montserrat, and Anguilla, that we need to always speak out and protest against the way the UK treats islanders, BOTs. There needs to be political reform on their side too. peaceful protest man says: Libertarian please call Dr. Lockhart at 949 6066. huh call dr. lockley because he thinks Independence nor british take over is NOT the best way forward for us?? hello I too must need the doctor Just curious, what do you think about the above statement I made? Before you can recommend a doctor, you must be able to spell out the symptoms. So what in my statement is sickening – that requires I see a doctor??? Libertarian your mind is twisted. You think everyone that wants a good honest government, would like to have the FCO suspend the constitution. You keep misssing the points in other people's posts and your mind is not letting you see beyond your nose, which is stuck up Mac's posterior. It is bestyou call a doctor now to help you. Oh and you got too much time on your hands. hmmm… you don't understand so you have to belittle my character. You will one day understand all that's twisted. 😉 nauticalone says: Another embarrassing spectacle by MacMouth! so if Cayman did achieve independence, how much money would have to be borrowed to implement the structures, laws, international diplomatic relations, the list is endless… Does the finance industry not completely depend on the islands status as a BOTC to function? If independence was achieved, is there a strong possibility that Cayman would be blacklisted as a financial centre by the international community? It would be interesting but I doubt it would be successful. <sits on fence> Independence is not what we need. But I guarantee you that after they downturn TCI's economy and the people there begin to hunger and thirst for their Independence due to sufferances, the same UK powerheads will say to them, "we didn't need you any way. Go on your own – be independent for all we care!" they would say. I think that is how colonialism operates: After the Administrative power takes all they want from the people, they refer to them asmere natives. First, they don't want them to go Independence… Then all of a sudden once they received and got what they want, are apt to cut them loose. Libertarian what is now happening in TCI is not the fault of the UK, this is the result of political corruption, greed, intereferance and very bad advice from outsiders. The reputation of TCI was tarnish by their Premier long before the UK went there to repair the damage. I will not get into the allegations and scheninnegans of the then Premier as they are all written for the whole wide world to see all you need to do is google his name and it's all there in black and white. The TCI gave the UK no choice but to intervene , it was the UK's responsibility in the name of "Good Governance" to administer direct rule over TCI for all that was happening at the time in TCI. Like the people of these islands the vast majority of the people of TCI are good, decent hardworking people who want good governance and what is right for their country. All I would say to you don't under estimate the people of TCI, they are like the Phoenix they always rise from the ashes, neither should you take them for fools they will never advocate for independence at this time, sometime ago back in the mid to late 80's they researched the possibilities and came away knowing that independence at that time was not a good option so they choose to ask Cananda if they would annex them but that fell through for what ever reason, it is there to be researched. If the Premier prior to the UK direct rule of TCI did not take counsel from too many outsiders, fools and fair weather friends and had stayed true to his intentions by now TCI would have become the Monaco of the Caribbean. You said, "The TCI gave the UK no choice but to intervene , it was the UK's responsibility in the name of 'Good Governance' to administer direct rule over TCI for all that was happening at the time in TCI." For your information, I am against this sort of UK intervention. It is not democratic, the people have no consent to it. It is an abuse of power and is not ethical. About Premier Misick – he could have been prosecuted in his own country. The Constitution was there and there were laws in TCI that could have been enforced. The UK could have seen to its enforcement. Now we have the UK governing the islands directly, a UK dictatorship, and they still have the man walking free. You would think that if they had evidence of corruption, he would have been incarcerated. No they have him free about the place. It is after two years and last month that they decided to freeze all of Misicks assets. Loren, I am not contesting whose fault it is for corruption! Everybody like you said can read it in black and white, and know that Misick was of shady character. But I support 100% the OTCC meetings and the OT' leaders such like of Anguilla, Virgin Islands, and Montserrat, coming together and making statements that opposes such arbitrary acts against the people. Let us not stray away from the issue here. Let us not become blinded by party politics. I advocate "political reformation" on the UK treats the Overseas Territories and you should too. I disagree with the posters here that the Premier, Anguilla, Virgin Islands, and Monserrat leaders, met to bring in Independence. This is how they (meaning his opponents) are trying to protray them on CNS. Party politics just blinding people from knowing the reality of the situation. Nobody want independence – I don't recommend it. But where in this article, did you hear any of them speaking about Independence? Once your eyes are open and you start telling the truth as it is, you become their enemy. Loren, welcome to the two-party system of the Cayman Islands. I guess its true… "divide and conquor" is happening now… My2cents says: "After the Administrative power takes all they want from the people….." Do tell me what the UK takes from the Caymanian people? I'm dying to know…..taxes? no. Products and services? not really….slavery?…erm…no. Natural resources?….no again. So please do tell me what the UK takes from Caymanians? god, always someone ignorant not from here… have you not heard of white collar crime? so the UK is without corruption now? I assume that most of the posters or commenters here are aligned to a political party against the UDP party, and some commenters may be anti-Caymanian, in that they would want more than ever for a UK dictatorship and for them to declare full rule on us. So it is no surprise they would read into this article that the Premier who has after so many times disregard the UN from coming here, would be looking forward for our Independence from the UK. Also, those on the PPM or political party bandwagon will be using this site to discredit the UDP, and make the UDP party look like they are for Independence. Cayman, this is why we are not heeding the warning signs. The party system has gotten hold on many of us that we are unable to see that we are in the same boat, and our relations with the UK should not only be strengthened, but improved! And in order to improve this bond, we have to back our leaders (whether they are PPM or UDP or Independent) that speaks out against the wrongful dealings of the UK on such territories like TCI. Cayman can only succeed and prosper only when the UK learns to allow its citizens to thrive in a laissez-fare democracy that is unhindered by them. And only when they finally USE the anti-corruption laws we have to fight crime rather than dissolving a people's democracy and Constitution in order to do it. Cayman, let us stand for our democratic rights and not get caught up on other things. Strangers in the night says: He probably assumes that if the UK "leaves us alone" that that police investigation will go away! No way bo-bo! You must think we fool-fool! nah! I don't think so! The investigation is already ongoing. When "THEY" finally use the anti-corruption laws we have? It is up to US to use our own laws effectively. There is a tendency here to sweep things under the carpet and not rock the boat. There are far too many supposed investigations into corruption that end with a statement of "insufficient evidence". Has any politician or high ranking civil servant EVER been charged let alone convicted of official corruption? That must stop. We must mature politically so that we are seen as capable of managing our own affairs. The UK will not then have any excuse to interfere. Unfortunately, the antics of our Premier is giving them more and more cause to intervene. So you agree that the UK should interfere and dissolved an elected government? If you say "yes," then why can't they give a bit of interference by creating laws and measures to prevent the islands from getting so slack in its fight against crime and corruption? My post did not say that. Why can't we create our own laws and measures? Why can we not enforce them? If we choose to not enforce them doesn't that mean that the UK will eventually have to intervene? No… don't enforce anti-corruption laws for us! Teach us and give us the resource to enforce them for ourselves! And if there is no one to teach, amongst the 50,000 inhabitants find someone that will learn. If the posters like you can't trust the people here to run their own affairs, then you are really advocating a UK dictatorship! I don't know you commenters, but with all due respect, anyone advocating a UK dictatorship, is against democracy. Libertarian: if we don't enforce the laws, the UK will have to do it for us. Have you seen the comments under the BVI article? That is scary. Unless the Governor disssolves cabinet and asks for a new election, we are doomed. That is the only way to have these laws enforced. let me sum this up in two words….BULL SHIT. You would rather bite off your nose to spite your face. Libertarian is right…you guys are breeding politricks. Why would anyone want the Governor to dissolve cabinet , but to put who they want in those seat. The way I see it, the Governor is placed here to observe good Governance, and as far as i can see, that is exactly what he is doing. Don't you think, the OT would say something to him by now, if we needed to dissolve cabinet. You're not only rude to the leaders of this country, but your misconduct, and stupidity extends to Great Briton's OT office. We would want the Goveror to dissolve the LA AND CALL NEW ELECTIONS so that good governance can be restored through a democratic process. I do not see what the Governor has done so far to ensure (not merely observe) good governance. Like Libertarian, you are just a McKeeva propagandist. anonymous33 says: daaaah… if Bush is found with corruption, the Governor can always call for reelections without having to declare rule on cayman. Get you mind out from the ppm / udp thinking, and stop trying to divide us because it is not working You seem hell-bent on misinterpreting my comments. I did not advocate for a TCI style UK takeover. You are disinhenuously trying to reduce this to a choice between trusting our current leaders versus wanting UK direct rule. That is nonsense. You are a Mckeeva propagandist. It is obvious thatwe cannot trust our current leaders to manage our affairs. We are in a complete mess. The Governor needs to dissolve the LA and call new elections. My apologies. At least we agree on one thing the Governor can do to promote our conditional democracy. And I am not a McKeeva agent or propagandist! Just because I agree with what he says, does not mean I am a propagandist. This is the reason why party politrix is going to ruin Cayman: the polarity of "black and white" is seen on which side you are on, and that is WRONG! We need to get off that mentality. People speak truth and people will tell you lies, but never close your self off to what people have to say, and never pre-judge them. I could care less if Alden or McKeeva told me something – I AM ABOUT SPEAKING THE TRUTH! Libertarian, I read all of your comments in amazement. I have responded to some in the past too. From what I see, most responses to your comments are well thought out, logical and make sense. You seem to see the world differently than most people which draws quite a bit of fire. It is not about party lines or "black & white", it is about totally disagreeing with your point of view about the way things work. Try showing real world examples of your ideas to back up your words. You appear to be antagonistic to the point of distraction. If I tried as hard as I could I would not be able to come up with some of the reckless and antagonistic philosophy you spew. I highly suspect that you do this for fun and enjoy watching people reply to your nonsense as I am doing now. Can you please explain to the people , why we can't trust our current leaders to manage our affairs?and I'm not misinterpreting your comment, you and many more are staking this claim. You should'nt just blow hot air, prove it. That is completely self-evident except to the wilfully blind. We have a Premier that is under criminal investigation for possible corruption. We have an Auditor General's report that shows widespread political interference in Govt. procurement to the extent that there may be fraud and/or corruption. We have a govt. that is evidently so embarrassed by its dealings that it wants to stifle FOI. That is clear from the Premier's own pronouncements as well as the recent statement from the FOI Commissioner. There is a complete lack of transparency in Govt. dealings, e.g. the Cohen loan and who refuses to answer pertinent questions concerning these deals that circumvent the proper process. Lawsuits against the Govt. are piling up because of govt, breach of contracts. We have a govt. that is proposing/supporting projects which will destroy this Island but will put money on the pocket of rich developers with noguarantee of any benefit to the Islands. We have the govt. imposing new taxes in the middle of a recession which caused greater economic hardship and businesses to close. We have a govt. on a spending spree on their own jollies and foreign excursions and vote buying projects while the rest of the country is hurting. We have a Premier that is shockingly inept and makes deeply embarrassing public statements. A Premier who does not permit his Ministers to speak. XXXX TC isn't a real country and in the end it didn't have a real government. Pit Bull says: So closely analogous to Cayman then. It is quite disappointing to see how so many of us are stuck in the past and still haunted by the proverbial "Independence Boogeyman". (E.g. It is apparently justified to refer to what happened to Jamaica – albeit via ignoring the way in which such independences' were designed to fail from inception – regardless of the fact that it was HALF A CENTURY AGO. However, when one refers to the illegal, inhumane and state-sanctioned racist-based policies and atrocities committed by the UK onto other nations (Kenya, India, Chagos – oh yeah) we are quickly told to "stop living in the past", "get the chip off the shoulder", "times have changed" and such.) Even more worrying is the way in which so many of us actually believe that the UK is a good example of "good governance" today. One thing I must say about the UK is that they have done a stellar job of creating the illusion that brings about these ignorant remarks and perspectives. However, some of us actually have a clear understanding of what is what in this regard. Free your mind people – for your own good. – Whodatis * Bring on the commentless "thumbs-downs". okay – thumbs down! Your comment and vote would mean a lot more to the original poster (myself) had it been accompanied with some sort of explanation for your position on the matter. ok, whodatis, I'm not the original poster but I'll give you my reasons for not going the independence route right now 1. McKeever is in power 2. We don't have sufficient laws or the will to enforce them. 3. We can't support ourselves 4. We obviously need babysitting in regards to our finances. I could probably add a few more but another thing that irks me that you say is that the UK is out to get us. I think that is an excuse for our own defiencies. It's like 1. Caymanians that always complain they can't get work and the expats is out to get them. This doesn't apply to everybody but those same people don't show up for work. 2. Those people that expect the government to do everything for them. My motto is "stop making excuses". We want to go independent do it and stop whining and blaming everyone for our problems. The Uk in general is not out to get us, but the "special interest," and they like to deal with us in the colonial way. Is independence the solution? No! But for them to drop colonialism, is the solution behind the OTCC meeting! If I could click more thumbs up on this, I would Well said!!!!!!!!!!!! The Watcher says: No thumbs down comments or condescending replies. Just a simple 'Give it a go and lead by example'. If the Independence gig doesn't work out for you, then you can state that all independences are doomed to failure. If it does work out for you, I will be the first to admit I was wrong, albeit from somewhere else in the world. This month's 'first to mention the Chagos Islands' prize is George Foreman Grill! How can you and your supporters find humor in such a horrid story? Thank you for yet another great example of why I am grateful for the Rollover Policy of the Cayman Islands. People like you make me sick. Do us all a favor and educate yourselves … hopefully some of you may come out on the other side with an ounce of humanity onto others different from yourselves. "Stealing a Nation" http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-3667764379758632511 Poster Child says: We are just sick of you churning out the same old irrelevant hackneyed examples. Weak individuals like yourself choose to latch onto 2 words of an entire post as a form of response. Sorry buddy – you are not on my level … come back when you find some self-respect. Whodatis, you drop the load on them that time…there is no respect, when it comes to politricks, and wanting to get some one's seat, they would stoop to the lowest. Chagos Bingo ! Hurrah! I kind of miss the "what a mess" poster. Thanks for mentioning Chagos. For those who don't know about Chagos, here is a good documentary film about them being evicted from their homes by the British, so as to turn their island into a military base, an terrible act of colonialism. The Chagossians have been cruely made a laughing stalk because of it – http://topdocumentaryfilms.com/stealing-a-nation/ The story reads like a victory of Appleton's over common sense to me – LOL!!!!! Again, Independence is the last thing we need for these islands. We can not fend for ourselves – we don't need Independence! I can safely say, after turning down the UN committee from coming here and giving speaches on our self-determination that the Premier is not suggesting INDEPENDENCE! Nevertheless, the Premier is absolutely correct with the unified voices of Montserrat, Anguilla, and the Virgin Islands: – the United Kingdom's Foriegn and Commonwealth Office (FCO) and Her Governors, ought to respect the "democratic representation" of the people of the Cayman Islands via individual and our local politicians. There should be respect and human dignity for all islanders. Turks and Caicos Islands are now feeling the effects of being under a UK dictatorship. They are reduced to a Welfare State under "mothers" colonial rule. Their Constitution has been abolished, no elections are allowed, land has been conficated, the financial reputation of the offshore center has been marred for many years to come, the press has been censored under the UK dictatorship, they are force to accepting a new Constitution without their consent, their financial records has been seized, and the TCI Central Bank has strangely been liquidated. We see what ARBITRARY UK intervention has done to TCI! And we make appeal to the UK's Parliament and those with political influence to stand with the Overseas Territories and help us protest and fight for Political Reformation. There is a need for Territorial Equality in terms of freedom and democratic rights. Again, I don't think the Premier is referring to Independence. I support all the OT' leaders at this meeting! I man born ya. I man glad we are under Britain. I man Na vote for NO Independence. You hear dat? NOT voting for Independence at all MAC. So when you say things like that, you are only speaking for MAC and few others. Ok? UK – Please na badda listen to him. He only beating his gums. Us Caymanians na voting to sever no ties with Britain. For the lack of knowledge my people shall perish!..Sayeth the Lord….where in that statement did Mac say he wanted Independance? I am seeing the many comments posted here, taking this article to mean that the Premier is suggesting Independence. I say that is not the case. The OTCC members shares the same sentiments with those in Turks and Caicos Islands under a UK dictatorship for the last two years now. The UK has been condemned by the United Nations for her constant mistreatment of the territories. Should not our leaders speak out on her constant abuse of power and disregard for the people's basic rights??? The Premier is merely echoing the Virgin Islands, Montserrats, and Anguilla's stance on the issue of colonialism. People, think before you post your comments! Get out of the partisan mindset! UK…please don't leave us alone! ain't got the stones…… uh oh…idiot alert! McCarron McLaughlin says: Dog eat our supper the day the UK leaves us alone and Mckeeva Bush is at the helm. PPM'er says: One thing I like about Bush. He tells it like it is. Alden is more quiet and appears indecisive at times. Ezzard has backbone but may cry out for Independence. But Bush! He, like Kurt is a born politician. Bush publicly threatened to sue the last Governor in his face over Operation Tempura. I recall that poor man was Jack. I sometimes wish we had more Kurt Tibbetts or Jim Boddens amongst our ranks. 🙂 you cant be no “PPM’er” I don't understand this statement at all. Does that mean you are a PPM'er? Yeah but Kurt never backed up that threat. In fact the climb down (something about legal advice?) was downright embarrassing. I'd have been more impressed if he had simply smacked Jack in the face. What's the old saying about, "He can talk the talk but can walk the walk?" The harsh reality is that without independance all public figures in the Cayman Islands, whatever they may say, have to kiss a*e to the UK government because they dictate what goeson here. Comparing Jim Bodden to Kurt Tibbetts?? No way, the difference is like chalk and cheese! You sure you knew Jim Bodden? Yes UK, please leave Big Mac alone so that he can replace democracy with "DeMORKERYcy" !!!!! Hmmmm…. I don't think that is what the Premier is saying amongst the members of the OTCC. The Premier is merely echoing their stance that although they all want to remain under the UK, the UK has to reform her ways on how she treats the Overseas Territories, and that means "don't give us a fish, teach us to fish" or in other words, "don't make us into a welfare state like TCI, use our anti-corruption laws and laws to govern the Overseas Territories aright. I don't see the Premier beckoning Independence. Libertarian, seem like you the only one that knows what MacDinejhad is talking about and you seem to have an abundance of time on your hands. You leave Mac alone long enough you will not have a supper for the dog to eat. I don't have time to take sides when it comes to personalities. "Teach a man to fish and feed him for a lifetime"? We don't need anymore fishermen. How about, "Teach a leader economics 101 and feed a country for a lifetime." What an Idiot UK must leave us alone and he beggin dem for money LMMFAO! Rather, through the Management Finance Law, the UK prohibits us from borrowing from a Lender, such like, First Caribbean Bank without their permission. The UK government has not lend us money! On the contrary, they did lend Turks and Caicos Islands money from UK taxpayers to bailout the government there after they declared full British rule on the inhabitants. Boston Tea Party says: Wrong – the PMFL only requires the Government to seek permission from the UK to borrow in circumstances where the principles of financial governance set out in the PMFL have been breached. The only reason that the UK has to get involved in the budget process here in Cayman is because the PMFL says that, in circumstances where the present and past governments have got the finances into such a mess that they no longer fall within the parameters of financial good governance laid out in a Cayman Islands Law, passed by our own LA, the UK has to give permission before it will allow things to get worse by additional borrowing (in the hope that they will then get better – although not much sign of that on the cards at the moment)! still, I think Lib is right. mckeeva is not begging the uk for money. the first comment makes it look like the uk tranfer funds to cayman to help cayman Robin Hood says: Libertarian may I suggest you disclose all facts of the Turks and Caicos problems. Their situation is so bad because of the raping and pillaging of the country that no bank would ever lend them money. Thus the UK Government being the lender of the last resort stepped in. Obviously with so much past corruption they had to take charge. Please study the TCI situation and get a better understanding.before you make further meaningless and inaccurate comments. Yours is an excuse for a draconian set up. Bank lending was never an issue in TCI until the reputation of TCI was internationalized by the UK intervention. What Mac meant to say was, I came from nothing and look what I have now! You are not speaking for the rest of us Premiere. You want to run the country on your own don't you. The day that happens we are in a whole heap of trouble and you are pretty close to it already. Cayman people stand up now before Cayman goes independant. Then you can definitely kiss our beatiful island goodbye. Independence is the worse thing that could happen to these island, but I don't think the Premier honestly believes that he will achieve Independence from a speech at the OTCC meeting. He already turned down the United Nations Committee from coming here and educating the Cayman Islands on our self-determination so to not strain relations with the UK, as the UN has been on the UK's back on how they treat the Overseas Territories. So I don't believe the Premier is routing for Independence – that is not how you route for Independence. The UK don't grant Independence to a colony though one man's advice. The Premier along with the other members are merely talking about the UK's arbitrary dealings with the OT's. the commenters here are so deluded, lib. You would need for starters a referendum on independence. McKeeva has never call for a referendum. just party politrix as usual on cns You might want to ask the millions of Hong Kong Chinese who got their British Overseas territory passports cancelled overnight whether they got a referendum in 1997? That's because they were done with Hong Kong! They are not done with Cayman yet, but when they are done, they will be the first to say, "we never needed you… go on your own!" Born Caymanian says: "We came from nothing to what we have" For once in my life, I agree wholeheartedly with the Premier. The UK never built this financial industry – we did! And by "we" I mean both locals and those expats that loved Caymanians and contributed for their cause. We caused the creation of this financial industry and became properous. The only thing we got from the UK was their "name" and the Queen's face on our dollar. Other than that, not one englishman, layed the block towards building up Cayman's castle. Jamaican, Hondurans, and U.S. citizens have done more for us than they did. It wasn't after weeks, after Hurricane Ivan that they sent to us one ship – just one ship! Now they want to come with a stick and beat us over the head and tell us how we must run the show – sorry bobo, it don't work like that. And then call us all natives, look down on us, and say we must show "respect" to them. We appreciate all their efforts in helping us fight crime, yes no doubt, they are doing well with a few things that other nations could chip in and do better, but "respect" goes a long way. Born Caymanian: you seem to have forgotten that McKeever ran them away when they came to help. After Hurricane Allen, the Briitish came and even helped Cayman Brac put up light poles. and I thought it was the withdrawal of the finance industry after Bahamas got Independence that brought on the rise of the Cayman finance industry. That will be my fault for listening to the facts! Mac should have added "and certainly no investigations into our financial doings!" Hmmm… but he did not, which means, he is meaning something completely different, as the investigations pertaining to him is being done by the RCIP and no anti-corruptive team from the UK. Which needs to be done!! You do realize that the anti-corruption teams, such like, Operation Tempura that came here and supported by the Deputy Governor Donovan Ebanks, was paid for by Cayman's indirect tax-payers. We paid for Operation Tempura, which in myopinion, was a waste of time and monies, seeing that not one case was successful. We had AntiCorruption Laws legislated by the PPM government, and there is still nothing done to enforce the law. The UK officials should have at least support the idea of training and "teaching us how to fish" and investigate corruptions in our own country, but no… there arbitrary policy and focus in dealing with the Overseas Territories, helps no one, but those special interest behind the intervention! And it is interesting that the same man who headed Operation Tempura, is being investigated himself. THINK! Lord have mercy! Where's the duck tape Quack Quack, Quaaacccckkkkk!!!! Anymous says: I sincerely support Mr Premier Bush on this matter, and all Caymanians, and all other person who call and want to call Cayman home, needs to support his voice on this. Please put aside your differences of not liking him or name calling. Cayman needs to take a firm stand on what the UK has been doing to us lately. Is it that they feel we should not have goodhomes and drive expensive cars eat stake and drink red vine, Is it that they want us to be living in wood houses, riding donkeys on dirt roads and catching turtle. Those days are finished, so if you all value you your stable life, yes agreed UK must let us grow up and wear designer jeans once we can afford them. I have constantly heard the old folks say that UK never did help the Cayman Islands. So why all of a sudden they want to be Cook, chief and bottle washer. Do you mean going back to the days when people could leave their windows open and doors unlocked? When people knew who their neighbors were? When people you passed would greet you with a smile? When there was full employment and every Caymanian who wanted a job was guaranteed one? When the word "guns" was not in our vocabulary? When murder was unheard of? When there were no fast motorcycles and hot rods cars? When people respected each others' rights? When gangs and gang related crime did not exist? When the drug problem was "somewhere else" but not here? When glass shattering music did not blast from passing cars? When the community came together to make sure those in need were helped? When traffic jams only happend near the post office on Saturdays? Wnen people mattered more than money? We have come a long way from those days. The days when we did for ourselves with what we had and did not depend heavily on the outside world for our existence. When life was productive and had meaning beyond dollar signs and aquiring wealth. Life was simple, life was good. Now everyone wants their "piece of the pie". You can't threaten me with going back to the old days for that is not a threat, it would be a gift. I would go in a flash if I could. No. Go back further than that. Or is that not convenient? A Guy says: I love stake and red vine. I don't know what old folks that you were talking to but as much as my father dislikes the British, he has always talked about them helping us. The British has helped us well, but they will destroy us too if they don't mend their ways. Then decare independence and STFU. It is not Independence we need, but political reformation in the UK on how they deal with the Overseas Territories. We need to always speak out and protest until we are heard and acknowledge. All Civil Rights groups have change and shape the political landscape and their governments by speaking out! I am not UDP, but I don't see the Premier supporting Independence – never heard him yet once say that Independence was the solution! Eye on the Isle says: I agree with Mac. The Vampires must let us be. B.B.L. Brown says: Hmmmmm….. Do we still owe the United Kingdom any money? If so, how much? We never borrowed any money from them. Living Cayman Islands says: When is someone doing to stop macreckless he is reckless driver on a collision course that we Caymanians are going to pay the consequences for. It is time that he is stopped and stopped immediately. The day England leaves us alone is the day we all will suffer, yes we may be financially strong but indepedence is not going to help us. Please UDP supporters dont be blinded by your ignorance and this mans ignorance. Southside says: "on my Island." This dicKtator really thinks he owns the place huh? DO US ALL A FAVOR WESTBAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! STOP VOTING FOR HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Swine says: What a Effin Dummy….. Now Mac, how could you demand such a thing? Don't you understand that meddling into the affairs of tiny jurisdictions such as ours is the last semblance of "power" and influence in the UK's arsenal? Personally, I don't understand their obsession with our affairs when clearly they have more than enough issues to address and sort out in regards to corruption (e.g. Murdoch / Police / hacking / PM / Cabinet etc.), economic woes, and civil unrest. On what basis could they even dream about advising and regulating another nation's affairs? They can't even handle their own. The UK is unjustly meddling into the affairs of tiny jurisdictions, but you don't do it by disregarding the people's democracy and without their consent! TCI is next door to us. I have to agree with McKeeva when he voices his views on the way they pursue their socalled "good governance" strategem. I personally don't care for fish. But if that's the only food source left after this country dies a slow death then I am happy to learn how to fish. However, I have been told that there aren't enough fish in these waters to feed all of us. Then what? Look at the Premier's lack of sound judgement in forming the current budget. 10 million dollars appropriated for "Nation Building". Some of it when to build churches. A fiscally responsible leader would have used the 10 million dollars to help reduce the debt. The interest payment on our current debt is 40 million per year. That is more than 1,000 dollars per person and that doesn't go toward reducing the the debt at all. Imagine how may fish we could buy with 40 million dollars. Amazing that he has the gall of talking about teaching a man to fish being the better way when he has been giving certain West Bay voters all the fish they want and more for generations! I'm surprised that he doesn't choke on the words. I bet the Governor is quaking in his boots. It would be laughable if it wasn't so transparently sad and dangerous. Well go independent then Mac! Watch and see how Cayman then suffers at the hands of their own government. Jamaica did such a good job of it! How you conveniently love to use "Jamaica" as a parable. Seriously, you think Jamaica is the only place the broke away from British colonialism. America, Egpyt, Canada, India… all booming economies, are doing just fine without the British, and they all celebrate their Independence Day. Jamaica's hurting economy is due to a corrupt political system that was corrupted even before days of Alexander Bustamante when the British had full colonial rule. Hence, Independence had nothing to do with their economic downturn. Independence was merely a transition from the corrupted British government to a next governmental system that eventually through two-party conflicts, became as well corrupt. The people of Jamaica never had real representation to govern and run their own country. The parties sapped up the monies and looked out for their own interest: human nature versus human kind. Reading the above post, I guess that you do not travel much. The fact is … prior to Independence, Jamaica was the place to live. Post independence, people could not leave quick enough with cash hidden in every conceivable place possible. Most of the countries you mention descended into Civil or international wars resulting in partition and division of nations. Cyprus, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Myanmar are just a few to mention and some of which I have personal experience. Try asking the population in Colombo or in Jaffna how Independence went? Ask any person in Zimbabwe how things are since the Unilateral declaration of Independence occurred? Especially if they ran an efficient and productive industrial farm. Admittedly, Jamaica is often over used as an example. Why dont you pull out some more examples of the 'non success' stories and not just from the British Overseas territories? Try East Timor after the Dutch gave it back, Mozambique after the Portuguese, the Spanish Sahara, Vietnam after France pulled out. Even economically, your argument is weak and flawed. The US dollar sinks daily with the Cayman dollar tethered to it. The question is not 'if' Independence occurs, it is how can it be stalled, steered around or the blow softened? The only way this can happen is to increase the population, tax the population and create a financial base that can self sustain other projects such as tourism, refineries, etc. The problem is … the population is falling, people are leaving and in September, get ready for a mass exodus and roll over. Understood last paragraph… I believe the decreased in Jamaica's population was due to corrupt and violent politics between PNP and JLP. Flipper says: My mother always told me that no matter how much perfume you use to cover up the smell of sh1t, it still stinks. Flipper Can take the man out of the ghetto, but can't take the ghetto out of the man. The Beaver The ultimate way to be left alone is independence. Why not ask for it Cayman? You will get it faster than water off a whistling duck's a$$. Ah boy……he's worried about handcuffs now 🙂 The title should read "Mac Seeks Independence from the UK" or "Mac seeks to aviod the handcuffs of the UK" So in other words this is Mac's warning that he is seeking independence from the UK. Read your Constitution Mac……..even though we know you want independence from the UK you cannot do so without the consent of the people ! Stiff-Necked Fool says: Spoken like a true dictator! The Cayman Islands are British & under the watchful eye of the UK, & he wants the UK to leave us alone? It is obvious why! If they leave us alone he can do ALL that he wants, then GOD help us! It is bad enough with them watching us but can you just imagine how terrible it would be if the UK left him alone? GOD FORBID! Oh no Lizzy, you keep watching us please! can see it now. we have to choose between a local dictator or a uk one, don't know which is worse? God help us So who is advising Mac on his terminology now. The irony of Mac using the word "handcuff" at this particular time apparently completely escapes him. Imagine him begging the UK not to handcuff him. Lol. McKeeva begging not to be handcuffed by the UK… does anyone else see the irony in this? Has McKeeva been having some bad dreams lately? A foreigner's view says: Read that "Independence" for the Caymans. When Mac speaks, the world wonders. When one seriously studies the obligations the UK has taken on in recent years, coupled with the overall deterioration of its over government and its economy, I don'tthink the UK would stand in opposition of all of its overseas territories adopting independent status. Just get ready Cayman. It's coming!! I suppose one's attitude changes when one is being investigated. During the Cayman Business Outlook in January, Bush was sucking up to the Governor while trying to imply that the PPM was anti Governor. Sounds mighty close to advocating independence. Mac cannot have it both ways, either we are independent and they leave us alone or they get to tell us what to do, cant have it both ways! The Truth is Out There says: Good one Mac, this is exactly what the world wants to hear from a politician who is being investigated for financial irregularities. Things are going from bad to worse because of you. Actually I think theyre going from worse to worser. Again, may I add that the Turks and Caicos Islands (before the 2009 British takeover) had a Constitution and Laws that could have been enforced to combat the corruption there. Could not have "good governance" been exercised in a way that would have avoided dissolving the people's elected Cabinet in accordance to their Constitution? I suggest that the OTCC meetings should come up with effective solutions on how to strengthen our relations with the UK and "better" that relationship by respecting the democratic rights and freedoms of the BOT citizens. Whether we have a PPM or UDP Premier the issue of addressing modern-day colonialism is imperative for our national interest. His island… I hope the UK Representatives are listening and planning. This runaway train needs to be stopped and stopped quickly. He's using the word handcuffed asking the Uk to leave the territories alone. He is including the governor who approved his investigation as well! Do you see the psychics between the lines of his offensive pitch? I think he means they must leave "Him" personally alone since he is the one being investigated and jeopardizing the Cayman Island's position as a British territory on the brink of getting our first bill of rights. Having enacted our mordernised constitution in 2009 if Mr. Bush continues on his route he will ruin all chances of the people of the Cayman Islands living out and enjoying the true freedom of democracy. He is the one inviting Direct Rule. Does this Premier have a mirror. Caymanians born and Caymanians with Status need to be leery of this man. Next time ou visit the dollar store sent him a little pocket mirror that he can take with him everywhere he goes. Independence is the last thing we need for these islands. We can not fend for ourselves – we don't need Independence! Nevertheless, the Premier (although I am not UDP) is absolutely correct with the unified voices of Montserrat, Anguilla, and the Virgin Islands: the United Kingdom's Foriegn and Commonwealth Office (FCO) and Her Governors, ought to respect the "democratic representation" of the people of the Cayman Islands via individual and the local politicians. Turks and Caicos Islands are now feeling the effects of being under a UK dictatorship. They are reduced to a Welfare State under "mothers" colonial rule. Their Constitution has been abolished, no elections are allowed, land has been conficated, the financial reputation of the offshore center is marred, the press has been censored under the UK dictatorship, financial records of TCI has been seized, and the TCI Central Bank has been liquidated. We see what ARBITRARY UK intervention has done to TCI! And we make appeal to the UK's Parliament and those with political influence to stand with the Overseas Territories and help us protest and fight for Political Reformation. Just like many would fight for Gender Equality, so there is a need for Territorial Equality in terms of freedom and democratic rights. To the People of The Cayman Islands William McKeeva Bush is a Premier Mad Man running our country. This XXX MUST GO and go at the SOONEST POSSIBLE DATE!!! Jack N Meoph says: Ahhh the loose canon is back… Someone needs to put Mr School Yard Bully in his place – and I can think of no better time or place than when Mac decides to "tell the Cayman Governor and Britain". I feel a little smackdown coming on… Bring it!!! Time for independence…lets show them that we are Gods greatest nation. If there was a proposal to go independent it would more than likely be in a referendum. In such a case it would never pass, although it may get more support than in years pass. The UK would not let us that easy either way. They would look to see if they think we could run the country and the evidence suggests otherwise. « Opponents pack meeting Royal wedding stamps to be released next week » Categories Select Category About CNS Library Business Christmas appeal Crime Documents Election 2009 Finance FOI Government Oversight Headline News Health Laws Library Local Business Local News Obituaries Politics Science and Nature Special Reports Sports Technology Tourism Uncategorized Viewpoint World News World View http://archive.caymannewsservice.com © 2021 http://archive.caymannewsservice.com.

__label__wiki	0.761586	0.761586	63rd Paris-Nice - ProTour France, March 6-13, 2005 Main Page Results & report Stage Details Previous Stage Next Stage Stage 3 - Wednesday, March 9: Thiers - Craponne-sur-Arzon, 118 km Commentary by Jeff Jones, with additional reporting from Jean-Francois Quenet Complete live report Live coverage starts: 14:30 CET Estimated finish time: 15:00 CET Welcome to Cyclingnews' coverage of the increasingly truncated "race through the snow", also known as the 63rd Paris-Nice. Today's shortened stage starts in Thiers and finishes in Craponne-sur-Arzon (really), 118 km hence. The original finish in Chambon-sur-Lignon had to be scrapped due to snow on the parcours. Despite this, it seems that today we will be seeing the first Cat. 1 climb of the race in the form of the Cote de Lavet, the top of which is at the 77 km mark. It's an 8.7 km climb at 4.7%, and will surely test the riders. The only other climb of the day is the Cat. 2 C�te de Courpi�re (3.1 km at 6.4%), which starts at km 11. The day's only intermediate sprint is at Ambert (km 47). The riders will reach Craponne after 82 km of racing, and will do a 35 km finishing circuit. It's a lot easier than the original planned stage, thus we may see Tom Boonen still in the leader's jersey at the end of the day, provided he and his Quick.Step team can keep a lid on things on the Cote de Lavet. The peloton is currently racing along through the snow, led by Quick Step. Suddenly, a Liberty trio dashes off the front with Luis Sanchez and Jorg Jaksche there. There is a reaction immediately. 14:34 CET 112km/6km to go Contador is the third Liberty rider, along with Sanchez and Jaksche. Vinokourov jumps across, as do four others. A Francaise des Jeux rider - possibly Fabien Sanchez - keeps the pressure on. We're at 6 km to go. This will be the shortest live stage ever! Our apologies... The peloton is in a long line as Luis Sanchez and Cadel Evans are next to attack. Three more riders go with them as it starts to snow a bit. Celestino is there. A Euskaltel rider - Egoi Martinez - is now off the front on his own, being chased by Sylvain Chavanel. The peloton has regrouped now. Martinez is still on his own as Chavanel looks back to see the chasers. Three more have left the peloton in pursuit. It's a tough finish. Martinez has about 15 seconds. Chavanel is pedalling a big gear as he tries to close to Martinez. He's having problems. There are more riders in pursuit, while the Quick Step train has started to wind up. Voigt is one of the chasers - he drives a group up to Chavanel and Martinez, who are now together. Voigt does a big turn but can't get there. Boonen is about 25 riders back in the peloton, which is 5 seconds behind Chavanel, Martinez, Flecha(?) and one other. 14:39 CET 115.5km/2.5km to go The fourth rider is Arvesen. But the break is now caught as Erik Dekker counters! Dekker is pursued by the peloton in general. Quick.Step jerseys are near the front, trying to control things. Vino attacks on the wheel of a Fassa rider - Cancellara, it seems. A quick.Step rider bridges up to them. It's Hulsmans who closes the gap at the 1 km mark. Cancellara and Vino have to do all the work. Cancellara is giving Vino the elbow flick. They sit up. A Cofidis mini train forms with 500m to go, and it's a chaotic sprint. Boonen is fifth wheel, on Verbvugghe's wheel. He can't get out and it's Reynes who wins!! Guido Trenti (Quick.Step), then Fred Rodriguez third. That was a dangerous finish. No changes to GC, and Tom Boonen keeps the yellow and white jersey. Reynes moves up to third behind Dekker, as a result of the 10 second time bonus. Thanks for following stage 3 with us, and again, our apologies for picking it up so late. 1 Vicente Reynes (Spa) Illes Balears 2.40.51 2 Guido Trenti (USA) Quick.Step 3 Fred Rodriguez (USA) Davitamon-Lotto 4 Aaron Kemps (Aus) Liberty Seguros-W�rth 5 Jens Voigt (Ger) CSC 6 Dmitriy Fofonov (Kaz) Cofidis, Le Credit Par Telephone 8 Philippe Gilbert (Bel) Francaise des Jeux 9 Nico Mattan (Bel) Davitamon-Lotto 10 Kim Kirchen (Lux) Fassa Bortolo 11 Gorka Gonzalez (Spa) Euskaltel-Euskadi 12 Vladimir Gusev (Rus) Team CSC 13 Dario Cioni (Ita) Liquigas-Bianchi 1 Tom Boonen (Bel) Quick Step 7.58.46 2 Erik Dekker (Ned) Rabobank 0.03 3 Vicente Reynes (Spa) Illes Balears-Caisse d'Epargne 0.04 4 Kurt-Asle Arvesen (Nor) Team CSC 0.05 5 Vladimir Gusev (Rus) Team CSC 0.09 7 Fabian Cancellara (Swi) Fassa Bortolo 0.11 8 Philippe Gilbert (Bel) Fran�aise Des Jeux 0.16 9 Thomas Voeckler (Fra) Bouygues Telecom 10 Constantino Zaballa (Spa) Saunier Duval-Prodir	cc/2021-04/en_middle_0036.json.gz/line21

Sadly, this is not the case, and so this creepy film came to be obviously labeled ‘Exorcist III’ by the studio when it was released in 1990. It was the author of the original classic, William Peter Blatty, who took position in the directors chair for this film. Author of The Exorcist William Peter Blatty had not been in favor of Warner Brothers proceeding with an Exorcist sequel in the mid to late 70s. Despite being asked to come on board, he wisely walked away- not wanting to tamper with his characters any further. Warner Brothers went ahead anyway, and the resulting Exorcist II: The Heretic was (as we know) drastically flawed and not well received. Years later Blatty would deliver a true sequel to his original novel — simply titled LEGION. Warner Brothers gave up production rights to studio Morgan Creek who proceeded to film Blatty’s best-selling sequel book (based on his screenplay and with him in the director’s chair. What could possibly go wrong? In what we now can look back on as a freaky prelude to what would happen with Paul Schrader and his doomed Exorcist: The Beginning prequel project years later, the studio Morgan Creek was not happy with Blatty’s first cut of Legion. They demanded re-shoots and requested the third act stray from the novel so it could have a more ‘cinematic’ conclusion. An exorcism was to be spoon-fed to the audience, complete with fire, earthquakes and devilish snakes. The audience did not buy it and, sadly,while finding the middle of the road with critics, Legion didn’t perform as expected. To rub some salt in the wound, once the film had bombed, Blatty says he was asked into Morgan Creeks office where they discussed reasons why it might have bombed, and he was told… “We shouldn’t have called it ‘Exorcist’ anything…”. Blatty had wanted to simply call it Legion all along. The Director’s Cut DVD There is much speculation about a DVD of Blatty’s original cut being made available one day. I’ll need to go back over my sources, news snippets and rumors and compile a list of possible scenarios here. The rare morph trailer: Get the latest Flash Player to see this player.

Alfamart stores are convenient for communities on ECQ Amid the Luzon-wide Enhanced Community Quarantine (ECQ), Alfamart, the first and only Super Minimart chain in the Philippines, has resumed its expansion to cater to the needs of local communities. What was once a simple and mundane task has been made more challenging and risky by the ECQ. Grocery shopping is now much more complicated than it used to be, as people now have to contend with curfews, checkpoints, social distancing, and quarantine passes to help stem the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic. To help address these concerns and alleviate the burden on individual households, neighborhood minimarts like Alfamart have become more popular destinations for these errands, as they are closer to home. In the recent week, Alfamart opened eight new stores across Luzon; namely, in Tabun, Angeles, Pampanga; Barangay 176, Bagong Silang, Caloocan; Poblacion, Floridablanca, Pampanga; Palico, Imus, Cavite; Silangan, Rosario, Cavite; Daan Sarile, Cabanatuan, Nueva Ecija; Saog, Marilao, Bulacan; and Grand Valley Subdivision, Angono, Rizal. Providing grocery supplies to your communities affected by lengthening ECQ Ten more stores are opening in other locations in May. Alfamart Philippines COO Harvey Ong pointed out that the expansion amid the ECQ is more about following through on Alfamart’s advocacy to improve communities. “The ECQ has been very challenging for everyone, especially those living in communities that are significantly farther from malls, supermarkets, and groceries,” Ong said. “We want to bring that safe, convenient, and comfortable shopping experience closer to home through our Super Minimarts,” he continued. Ong also highlighted how Alfamart is doing everything it can to reduce health risks, and inconveniences, for both employees and customers. “Our stores follow strict sanitary and hygiene protocols. We also provide PPEs for our frontline and backend staff,” he said. “Also, as part of our walk-to-work philosophy, we hire our store crew locally. As much as possible, we prefer our employees to be within walking distance of their assigned stores. This helps manage their travel time,” he further explained. The newly opened Alfamart branch in Bagong Silang, Caloocan enforces strict social distancing in compliance with ECQ rules. Having “walking distance” Super Minimarts nearby keep residents from having to go out too far just to get supplies. Ong enumerated other measures that ensure the store staff are taken care of such as free shuttle rides, proper coordination with checkpoints for expedited supply chain deliveries, proper scheduling and shorter operating hours. “In these trying times, everyone is called to be vigilant and serve. Alfamart will do its part to help the community by keeping as many of our existing stores open and reaching out to more communities so we can serve more people,” he concluded.	cc/2021-04/en_middle_0036.json.gz/line32
__label__wiki	0.805082	0.805082	EMP, Music, Special Ghost – Prequelle: Album Review Ghost have been going from strength to strength in recent years. When they burst onto the scene in 2010 they were more of a curiosity than a full-fledged part of the metal world, thanks to Papa Emeritus’ extravagant costumes, the fully disguised ‘nameless ghouls’ and the band’s knack for mixing blasphemous themes of death and the devil with downright catchy music and clean vocals. Certainly, they’ve never been a band that you could be indifferent about. And whilst the gimmicks might have been a nice way to get attention, it’s the music that keeps the fans there. Music which has remained of an extremely high caliber since day one (or Year Zero, if you will). So naturally there was considerable hype regarding the release of the band’s new album ‘Prequelle’ with a brand-new member of the satanic clergy at the helm. In a way, the choice to ‘fire’ yet another Papa Emeritus (we were already on Papa Emeritus III by the third album) in favour of the significantly less intimidating Cardinal Copia looks quite a lot like a deliberate step away from their satanic image towards something which is still quirky but a bit less cumbersome. Since the satanic pope’s real identity has been making its way into the media anyway thanks to the legal quarrels between (nameless) band members, it was probably time for Tobias Forge to shed a couple of layers of papal robes and be a little freer. What does this mean for the music, though? Whilst the band’s image and music have always been separate beasts, there is certainly something of a trend going on. When I last saw Ghost at Bloodstock festival in 2017, Papa/Forge shed most of his costume halfway through the set anyway, opting for a mostly black ensemble and a corpse-paint makeup style instead, marking a shift from the band’s first two albums to the slightly more classic rock style of Meliora. Yet another image change and (mock) personnel change looks to herald another significant shift in musical style for the band. In my opinion, it seems that they’re gradually trying to drop some of the gimmicky elements which made them famous but have gradually begun to hold them back in terms of experimentation. We can no longer expect spooky organs, satanic invocations and liberal use of slightly grammatically-incorrect Latin. Instead, the band have gone full steam ahead with the energetic classic rock with a twist that’s been part of their sound all the time, but has now come to the fore. (Photo credit: www.rocksins.com) The album opens with a creepy kids’ nursery rhyme which introduces the theme of the Black Plague / apocalypse that loosely ties the album together, then plunges straight into the lead single ‘Rats’. Straight away, you can recognize that typical Ghost sound, with the characteristic vocals and keyboards, although with a more simplistic structure and a slight 80’s touch, especially the OTT backing vocals. Is this a good direction? In my honest opinion, this isn’t one of the best tracks they’ve ever produced, which is a shame, although it’s certainly on the catchy end of the scale. As with any band, over the years the style does change and some will be more or less happy. ‘Faith’ kicks in with an utterly epic metal riff, which unfortunately doesn’t set the tone for the rest of the album. Whilst Ghost have never been extremely heavy, I sense the metal elements dropping away – none of the songs here have the heavy edge that, say, Mummy Dust did on the previous album. I’d have liked to hear a bit more of that riff, for sure. Unfortunately there are one or two weaker moments on this album, especially ‘See the Light’ and ‘Dance Macabre’. ‘I wanna be wit’ you in the moonlight, I wanna be wit’ you all night’, Forge sings on ‘Dance Macabre’, a track which wouldn’t be terribly out of place on an Abba album. They are fellow Swedes, after all. For some reason the most interesting stuff was left for the end of the album. Both instrumental tracks have left space open for Ghost to try something new musically and flex their creative muscles. ‘Helvetesfonster’ in particular has a slightly medieval sound and picks up on some of the musical themes earlier in the album, gradually seguing from classical melodies into energetic progressive rock. My favourite track is probably ‘Pro Memoria’, something that would probably sound a little ridiculous coming from many other bands ‘don’t you forget about your friend death’… but when Cardinal Copia sings these lyrics over a background of perfectly executed keys, it ends up being a rather anthemic pean to death, which almost makes the idea of dying seem rather cheerful and fun. The final track, ‘Life Eternal’ isn’t bad either though, albeit it on the power ballad side. Forge has always had an uncanny ability to awaken the emotions, which he does here almost as well as on epic tracks like ‘Cirice’ on Meliora. It’s something that should almost be cheesy, but just because it’s Ghost, it isn’t. Prequelle is probably never going to be my favourite Ghost album, but I can see the value in their maturing away from the satanic gimmicks and costumes and developing their style into something more universal. Whilst moments hark back to the 70’s or 80’s, others look forward to a new era of Ghost, which will definitely be something to keep an eye on. Can’t get enough of Ghost? We have lots of Ghost merch to feed that obsession! album reviewbandghostheavy metalheavy metal musicmusicprequellereview	cc/2021-04/en_middle_0036.json.gz/line34
__label__cc	0.70451	0.29549	In Memoriam Ted Herbert It is with sadness that I pass on the news that my friend the Old Testament textual critic Edward D. Herbert died earlier today (Tuesday), after being diagnosed with cancer about a month ago. He was Vice-Principal of the International Christian College in Glasgow and had carried out significant research on the biblical manuscript from the Dead Sea Scrolls, 4QSam-a. Significant publications of his include: Reconstructing Biblical Dead Sea Scrolls - A New Method Applied to the Reconstruction of 4QSama (Leiden: Brill, 1997) and '4QSama and its relationship to the LXX: An exploration in stemmatological analysis', in Bernard Taylor, ed., IX congress of IOSCS, Scholars Press, 1997, pp. 37-55. Ted left behind a moving message to the students of his college, which can be viewed here. Zondervan Publishes Handwritten Bible (via Antonio Lombatti) Antonio Lombatti notes an initiative from Zondervan to publish a handwritten(!) Bible in order to mark the 30th anniversary of the NIV. It will be tricky to survey scribal habits, since each verse will be written by a different person (31,173 verses). Instead of a "colophon," an index will list each participant's name and the number of the verse he or she copied. USA Today (29/9) reports that "A photo facsimile of all the verses will be compiled and published in time for Christmas 2009. . . . One set of originals will be bound and offered to the Smithsonian. The second set, also bound, will be auctioned to benefit the International Bible Society, which holds the NIV copyright and is co-sponsoring the project with Zondervan." Read the whole story here. Call for Papers, International SBL in Rome by Christian Askeland at 12:40 pm 2 The call for papers began 15 September and will end on 31 January. David Trobisch and our own Tommy Wasserman are heading the panel which seems most germane to this blog: Working with Biblical Manuscripts (Textual Criticism) Papers concentrating on any aspect of the practical work with manuscripts of the Bible are welcome: managing variants, computer assisted tools, preservation techniques, evaluating the evidence of versions, papyrological insights, technical developments, social historical studies, scribal habits, producing critical editions, new projects, systematic-theological problems, teaching text-criticism in an academic setting, etc. Find out about other sections, here. The meeting will be held in the Pontifical Biblical Institute 30 June – 4 July, 2009. Hunting the Aleppo Codex by Randall Buth at 10:06 am 0 Here is an interesting news article on Aleppo codex. I hope the article doesn't scare things further underground. Aleppo codex, Hebrew Bible Coptic and Syriac books at BYU I note that PDFs of some very useful books are on the Brigham Young University site: The Irony of Samaria: Σαμαρεια / Σαμαρειτης in the Greek NT by Randall Buth at 2:58 pm 14 The following is a short note, hopefully fun. There are several ironies in the spelling of Σαμαρεια/Σαμαρια in our Greek texts. Readers of United Bible Societies Greek text and the Nestle Aland text will be familiar with the following spellings: Σαμάρεια (the place), and Σαμαρίτης (a person of the place, male) Σαμαρῖτις (a person of the place, female) The spelling of the two forms is inconsistent, though the root will sound identical when read with a first century pronunciation. [[ ει is correctly pronounced like the ι [i] vowel sound rather than the [e] sound (close to ey in 'they') that is often heard in academic circles.]] But this inconsistency is only the first in a series. The world turns upside down when Westcott and Hort are brought in. Westcott-Hort have: Σαμάρια (the place) and Σαμαρείτης (the person, male) Σαμαρεῖτις (the person, female) Not only are both WH and UBS/NA internally inconsistent, but they are the opposite of each other. That is a rather unexpected result. Do the manuscript traditions support either of these inversions or provide a solution? On the surface one would not expect that WH and UBS/NA would come to such doubly inverted results without some good manuscript support. These can be checked rather quickly and fairly comprehensively today because of the books of Swanson, who records manuscript deviances on points like these. (for the complete listing of the data from Swanson, please view my fuller note at http://alefandomega.blogspot.com/2008/09/irony-of-in-greek-nt.html Only the results and conclusions are presented here.) The Results for Spelling the Place Name Samaria: B is consistently -EI-, 10/11, corrected 11/11. א is consistently -I-, 11/11. p75 is consistently -EI-, 4/4 p45 is -EI-, 1/1 p66 is consistently -I-, 3/3 A is predominantly -EI-, 9/11 (Lk 17 and Ac 1.8 exceptional) D is predominantly -I-, 9/10 (Lk 17 EI) C is mixed, -EI- 4/10, -I- 6/10 E is predominantly -I-, 10/11 (Jn 4.7 -EI?-) H is predominantly, -EI- 10/11 (A15 -I-) W is consistently -I- 4/4. Θ is consistently -I- 4/4. Miniscules are predominantly -EI-, though a few show a mixture like 565 = -EI- 2/4 , -I- 2/4; 614 = -EI- 5/7 , -I- 2/7 ; 1175 = -EI-3/7 , -I- 4/7 . The place name was spelled -ει- in the old Alexandrian (p75, B, A in Acts) and in the Byzantine traditions. Another Alexandrian spelling was -ι-, which is also the Western reading. It appears that Westcott and Hort abandoned the spelling of B because it lined up with the Byzantine reading and because significant Alexandrian witnesses and the Western witness agreed. However, this looks different today, since p75 and p45 have joined B's spelling. WH should have paid more attention to Σαμαρεια in the six examples where the old Alexandrian manuscripts B and A agree in Acts. This becomes more telling when the gentilic noun 'Samaritan' is investigated. (for a complete listing of data from Swanson on Σαμαρειτις and Σαμαρειτης, please see http://alefandomega.blogspot.com/2008/09/irony-of-in-greek-nt.html) Results and Conclusions The spelling for the gentilic Σαμαρειτης is a little more inconsistent than for the place name Σαμαρεια, but the same manuscripts are basically lining up with the same relationships. B is consistently -EI- 9/9. א is consistently -I- 8/8 (plus one correction of a lacuna with -EI-) p45 is consistently -EI- 1/1 D is mixed -EI- 3/8, -I- 5/8. But still in the same direction of its 9/10 preference of Σαμαρια over Σαμαρεια. A is predominantly -EI- 6/7 (Lk 9:52 -I-.) In Acts [Alexandrian] it is -EI- 1/1. C is mixed -EI- 5/8, -I- 3/8. The three -I- are in Matt and Luke. The Byzantine manuscripts are predominantly -EI- How does one distill this? There is no consistent evidence that would support either UBS/NA or WH ! Differentiating the vowel EI/I in the place name 'Samaria' from the gentilic name 'Samaritan', whichever flip-flop one chooses, appears to be an artificial introduction into the spelling tradition by both published critical texts. UBS/NA may be faulted for following the -I- traditions in the gentilic names Σαμαριτης and Σαμαριτις. The manuscripts that they were following for this tradition would have led them to choose the place name Σαμαρια as well. Likewise, Westcott and Hort should have stuck with their acknowledged preference of B and old Alexandrian witnesses. The papyri p75 and p45 have reinforced the spelling Σαμαρεια. But again, there is no consistent support for maintaining a distinction between Σαμαρια and Σαμαρειτης. The only old witness that moves a bit in that direction is D, Codex Bezae. But Bezae is hardly a reliable tradition, and it only scores 3/8 with Σαμαρειτης. One might also point to the mixed attestation of C, but it, too, is hardly a sterling example of a tight manuscript. It means that there are no manuscripts that consistently support either UBS/NA or Westcott-Hort. But the manuscripts do support consistency. B, p75, A, and K are on one side (-ει-), and א, p66, and D (-ι-) on the other. Whatever the original authors may have written, the various ancient publishing houses seem to have passed on one tradition or another, though with occasional inconsistencies and some evidence of cross-contamination. A final irony for this situation is the resulting spelling. The old Alexandrian and the Byzantine manuscripts share a bed here. Together, they both point to Σαμαρεια and Σαμαρειτης as the preferred forms for the Greek NT. The Byzantine text (Robinson-Pierpont) has this spelling right. Fortunately, a person can read both the WH and UBS/NA texts correctly when one is trained to hear the old language. for an older ETC-blog discussion on 'why spelling matters' see: http://evangelicaltextualcriticism.blogspot.com/2006/02/why-spelling-matters.html ancient Greek spelling, Byzantine text type, correcting UBS spelling, Koine pronunciation Shepherd of Hermas Notes The Shepherd of Hermas was very popular and highly regarded in some circles in the early period. a) it is present in Codex Sinaiticus (the British Library portion, after the Epistle of Barnabas, includes the Shepherd of Hermas up to Mandate iv.3.6; among the 'New Finds' at St Catherine’s Monastery there are Parables 6, 8.1–2; 9.xiv–xvi, xviii; Visions 1–5; Commands 1–4) b) it was generally popular (e.g. Irenaeus quoted from it in Adv. Haer. II.xxx.9 and even designated it as "Scripture" in IV.xx.2) c) Hermas is extant in 21 papyri (acc LDAB; Sept 2008), including ten from Oxyrhynchus, four of which were clearly substantial judging by the surviving pagination: P. Oxy 404 (III/IV); P. Oxy 1172 & 3526 (IV; page 71); P. Oxy 1599 (IV; page 73); P. Oxy 1783 (IV); P. Oxy 1828 (III); P. Oxy 3527 (III; page 83); P. Oxy 3528 (II/III; page 119); P. Oxy 4705 (III); P. Oxy 4706 (II); P. Oxy 4707 (III). Of the others some early and substantial manuscripts include: P. Iand. I.4 (II/III); P. Mich 2.2 130 (III); P. Mich 2.2 129 (III; 31 folios); P. Berlin 5513 (III/IV); P. Bodmer 38 (IV/V; 22 folios). In terms of manuscript attestation and patristic appreciation the evidence looks better than large parts of the New Testament. Conjectural Emendations in Nestle Editions by Tommy Wasserman at 5:55 pm 25 In a series of recent posts at the Amsterdam NT Weblog, Jan Krans has been offering comments on conjectural emendations found in the Nestle editions (mostly in the apparatus only). Three posts have appeared so far: Conjectures in the Nestle Editions (1): Wellhausen on Mt 5:5 Conjectures in the Nestle Editions (2): Ritschl on 1 Thes 2:16 and, stimulated by a comment from Peter Head: Conjectures in the Nestle editions (3): a note on method A Day in Oxford Had a nice day-trip to Oxford yesterday with another ETC blogger (a.k.a. Simon Gathercole). The Oxford folk were very kind and accommodating (considering we were from Cambridge, and one of us was a foreigner). We managed to see some good things in Duke Humfrey’s Library (the oldest reading room in the Bodleian Library - and rather atmospheric compared with the manuscript room in Cambridge University Library): P. Oxy 1 (most of a page of the Gospel of Thomas) P. Oxy 1170 (=P19) P. Oxy 1597 (= P29) Then we spent the afternoon in the Papyrology Rooms of the Sackler Library (make sure you get this right) and saw: P. Oxy 2383 (P69) [on this see here and here]; P. Oxy 4406 (P105); P. Oxy 4803 (P119); P. Oxy 4804 (P120); P. Oxy 4805 (P121); P. Oxy 4806 (P122) [on these see here]; P. Oxy 4844 (P123); P. Oxy 4845 (P124) [on these see here]. So that was eleven (admittedly quite small) manuscripts in one day: no amazing new discoveries; great for checking a couple of details - it is always helpful to see the real thing no matter how carefully you’ve transcribed information from pictures, helpful for two current writing projects, not quite long enough for a really thorough look at the newest Oxy ones. Oh, and in between we had a bite of lunch with the Inklings, C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien at The Eagle and Child: Back in Lund Again From September 1 I have assumed a two-year research post ("postdoktor") at Lund University, where I did my PhD. However, I am still located at Örebro Theological Seminary. Twice a month I will visit the research seminar (for Biblical studies and Patristics) in Lund, led by Professor Samuel Byrskog. Byrskog's main research interest concerns tradition and transmission in Early Christianity; orality and scribality in ancient Greece and Rome and early Christianity; and social and collective memory. I look forward to discuss overlapping areas like oral and textual transmission in early Christianity in this seminar. The first material I will present, however, will be something about what Jesus wrote on the ground, material for a paper to be presented in Boston in November. The main plan for the coming two years is to work with the early text of the New Testament, with a focus on the Gospels. I have some ideas that will perhaps result in another monograph, perhaps separate articles. Then I have some other half finished stuff on various other TC things. Örebro Theological Seminary 100th Anniversary One hundred years ago, on this day September 14, Örebro Theological Seminary, my seminary, was founded. The first five years, the seminary was located in the Filadelfia Church in Örebro, where the seminary's founding father, John Ongman, was pastor. A new school building was built in 1913. Seventy years later, a second building was inaugurated, which is the one in use today. Today, Örebro Theological Seminary offers several educational programs with around 200 full-time and 160 part time students from a wide variety of denominations. The theological seminary is the largest program with some 300 students enrolled. It is a four-year program leading to a Bachelor of Theology, but a number of students are also admitted for one or two years of study. Other programs include Religious Studies for teachers (at different levels in public schools), courses in Missions, and a bible college program. Over this weekend we have celebrated the 100th anniversary on campus and in the Filadelfia Church. Here, some of the teachers and former principals are interviewed. The first man on the left is the current principal, Dr. Pekka Mellergård. I have had so many impressions during this weekend and so many special moments. In the service today in the Filadelfia Church, one old student (ninety-four years) told us about his encounters with the founding father Ongman. History came alive. This made me think about Papias who told about his encounters with the first followers of Jesus. The Colours of Swanson In a comment to an earlier post Wieland Willker alerted me to something I had never noticed before, that is, that each of the Swanson volumes have a different colour: Matthew - red Mark - blue Luke - Green John - brown Acts - pink Romans - dark blue 1 Corinthians - orange 2 Corinthians - light brown Galatians - light green I haven't found an explanation for this anywhere in the books, and I would guess this is going to be difficult to maintain all the way through, but I thought I should let you know. The use of vid in NA27 Just in case you always wondered, you can find here a complete list of all the times "vid" is used in the apparatus of NA27 (kindly prepared by Jan Krans, and up-loaded to the textualcriticism email group site by Wieland Willker in response to a question posed by me). [As long as you can log in to the yahoo group site I suppose] The group discussion began with: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/textualcriticism/message/3978 . Citations for blog entries I was chatting the other day with someone who had written an entry for Wikipedia, re-used the same material in a published article, and was worried (in my opinion rightly) about people accusing him of plagiarism and Wikipediism. This is a bit of a tangle, although responsibility for alterations to Wikipedia articles can be traced (don't think I don't know about that!), but it would take a bit of organising to construct the defence. As for blog entries, well it is pretty clear to me that if other people want to take something written here and use it in some other forum it should be cited and referenced (whether on another blog, somewhere else on the internet, or in a published article or book). But it is not so clear to me when I am myself re-using and re-writing some thoughts that may have been expressed here in a preliminary manner. Sometimes then I would simply re-word the material without reference (although on occasion it will also be helpful to refer to the blog for discussion of the idea). I suppose if the final expression of my idea is substantially influenced by the discussion then a citation/reference is more important/essential. Perhaps it may be permissible (and realistic) to have a general note: 'some of the ideas developed here were first discussed on the Evangelical Textual Criticism blog and I am grateful for the discussion'. Head 42nd in Olympic Racewalking One of our readers, Jim West, wanted to know the outcome of Peter Head's olympic debute, earlier reported about here. Head, who had received a wildcard for the Olympic racewalking, unexpectedly came in as 42nd. Congratulations! However, there have been rather wild debates over the rules, specifically newly developed walking techniques, among IAAF Technical Delegates during an International Race Walking Forum held in Beijing just before the Olympics. One of their decisions was to accept Head's "backward technique," a variant of MacFadden's old "goose-step" method. Head is already preparing for the next Olympics in London 2012. Since it is impossible to get another wild card in race walking, he has changed sport. At this point, it is uncertain if it will gain olympic status. Good luck to this brave man we say! What sort of textual critic are you? 1. You can define 'hermeneiai' and discuss their significance. 2. You know what 'vid' means. 3. You have an opinion on whether P4, P64 and P67 are from a single manuscript. 4. You know why 1739 is more important that 1738 and 1740. 5. You probably own more Greek New Testaments than any of your immediate colleagues. 6. Before you travel to a new town you check to see what manuscripts are there. 7. You have studied a load of languages (although some of us can't remember all the vocab). 8. You just know that dots are difficult to date. 9. You regularly consult and refer to books that are more than a hundred years old. 10. Even your academic friends think some (all?) of your publications are obscure and technical. A Burglary at Örebro Theological Seminary Tonight there was unfortunately another burglary at our seminary. We have had much problems with this during recent years. The burglars stole some computers including mine (although not my "research" Macintosh which I never leave at the office). They did leave some blood traces on my Brill tote bag from the SNTS, and a footprint on the first page of an article on textual criticism; I let the investigating police keep this external evidence. The Text of the Gospels in Clement of Alexandria by Tommy Wasserman at 11:16 pm 4 SBL has just announced this forthcoming title in the New Testament in the Greek Fathers series: The Text of the Gospels in Clement of Alexandria by Carl P. Cosaert, Associate Professor of New Testament and Early Christianity at Walla Walla University. Description: "This volume applies the latest methodological advances in patristic textual analysis to explore the nature of the Gospel text used by Clement, an early Alexandrian father who wrote extensively on the Christian faith and filled his writings with thousands of biblical citations. After examining Clement’s life and use of the New Testament writings, the book lists all of his quotations of the Four Gospels and compares them to those of other Alexandrian Christians and to the most significant ancient Greek and Latin manuscripts. The book demonstrates that the form of the Gospels in Alexandria was in transition at the end of the second century and argues that Clement’s Gospel text reveals an Alexandrian influence in John and Matthew and a stronger Western influence in Luke and his citations of Mark 10."

Quiz Question How many New Testament Papyri actually contain a complete book of the New Testament? Think carefully before answering. Munich, Bayerische Staatsbibliothek, Catalogue On-line The Bayerische Staatsbibliothek is putting the catalogues of its holdings in medieval manuscripts on-line here. This is a great idea, since they contain loads of information about each manuscript (although not images). This can be consulted for the following NT manuscripts (they hold 28 NT mss in all according to the Liste and some LXX pieces according to the Rahlfs-Fraenkel, Verzeichnis so there should be more to follow at some point): 2038 (BSB Gr. 23, fol. 333-415) 1930 (BSB Gr. 35) 423 (BSB Gr. 36 [Matt] and 37 [John]) 1909abs (BSB Gr. 110) The links will take you to the first page of each of these entries in the catalogue. These are all late (i.e. XV or XVI) commentary manuscripts so it is very helpful to be able to access the information about them in this form, e.g. which church fathers are quoted; which folios correspond to which chapters of the text etc. Incidentally I gather that the use of abs in the Liste will be phased out in future and manuscripts such as 1909abs (a direct copy - Abschrift - of another known manuscript, i.e. 1909) will be given their own Gregory-Aland number.

Chase on Codex Bezae In the Tyndale House library we have F.H. Chase's copy of Scrivener's edition of Codex Bezae. This seems to be the copy he used in preparing his The Old Syriac Element in the Text of Codex Bezae (London: Macmillan, 1893). In the Preface to that work Chase wrote: 'The only satisfactory way of investigating the text of the MS. was, as it seemed to me, minutely to examine some section large enough to guarantee that no characteristic feature of the text would be left unnoted. Having a special interest in questions connected with the Acts, I chose for my purpose the earlier chapters of that Book. The first step was to mark in different ways (1) the variations from the common text in particular words and phrases; (2) changes of order; (3) interpolations; (4) omissions. This preliminary review over, I considered separately each variation thus marked, and tried to arrive at an explanation of it.' (p. viii) Well, Chase's copy of Scrivener on Codex Bezae (signed and dated Sept 1892) is carefully marked up with (1) blue underlining for variations; (2) black pencil underlining for changes of order; (3) red underlining for additions (= interpolations); and (4) marks for omissions. This actually extends throughout the whole manuscript (Gospels and Acts) with myriads of small comments. In relation to Acts there are some notes on a sheet of paper listing "Syriac of Acts 1-8" which seems like an early outline of his book. There is also a pencilled note at the beginning of Acts: "collated this in certain important places with Cod. Bezae on Jan.26.1893". This seems to have focused on erasures and corrections. Next to Acts 12.1 there is another date: "Aug.26.'93". At the end of Acts there is another note: "Sheringham 5 Sept.1893". So perhaps there might be people interested in Chase's work, or in the history of the study of Codex Bezae, who might like to consult this volume. Luke's Genealogy: how many names? I've been wondering about Luke's genealogy recently. Copying such an extensive list of names was obviously quite difficult, so we have numerous issues in the spelling of various names, and bigger questions about the whole shape of the genealogy and how many names are in the genealogy. It is all a bit more messy than I would like. Irenaeus (Adv Haer III.22.3) seems to have known a text of Luke with 72 generations: "Wherefore Luke points out that the pedigree which traces the generation of our Lord back to Adam contains seventy-two generations, connecting the end with the beginning, and implying that it is He who has summed up in Himself all nations dispersed from Adam downwards, and all languages and generations of men, together with Adam himself." But I can't locate a manuscript reflecting that number, although there are lots of possibilities: e.g. Bezae has 65 names; 1071 has 73 names; Vaticanus has 76 names; Sinaiticus has 77 names; Alexandrinus has 74 names (W and 579 omit the whole thing). NA27 prints a text with 77 names, this has the advantage of neatness (significant sevens all over the place; cf. Bauckham in Jude and the Relatives of Jesus); but the disadvantage that this neatness is pretty much imposed on the textual evidence (esp. at 3.33 reading Aminadab, Admin, Arni). Is that a reasonable approach? Did Irenaeus make the whole 72-thing up or did he simply miscount? It is interesting that he draws theological significance from a reading for which we have currently no evidence. Should we accept that the textual evidence is too uncertain to allow far-reaching theological deductions from the ennumeration (M.D. Johnson, Purpose of Biblical Genealogies)? Or should we allow the theological neatness to help us determine the original text? Zondervan Publishes Handwritten Bible (via Antonio... The Irony of Samaria: Σαμαρεια / Σαμαρειτης in th...

Timeline of Hanoi's first metro line: a nine-year struggle Hanoi plans to offer 15-day free travel on first metro line Vietnam facilitates investment of EU firms This is one of eight metro projects approved by Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc with a vision toward 2030 to improve the city's public transportation system and ease traffic congestion in the capital, home to 7.5 million people. Two Cat Linh-Ha Dong trains leave the station in Hanoi during a trial run in September 2018. Metro line No. 5 will connect Van Cao Street in downtown Ba Dinh District and the suburban area of Hoa Lac in western Thach That District, home to Hoa Lac Hi-tech Park, Hanoi Metropolitan Railway Management Board (MRB) stated. There will be 21 stations, six underground and 15 elevated. After passing underground through Van Cao, Lieu Giai, Nguyen Chi Thanh, Tran Duy Hung and Ring Road 3, it would run along the elevated section from Thang Long Boulevard. Hanoi authorities expect to deploy 25 to 40 trains of four to six carriages each. These could run at speeds of 120 kph above ground and 90 kph underground. Construction on the metro line is scheduled to start in 2022, and the line be put into operation in 2026. Hanoi plans to build eight urban railway lines with a combined length of 305 km, including three monorail segments, to reduce frequent traffic congestion. However, only the Cat Linh-Ha Dong line and Nhon-Hanoi Railway Station are near complete. The Cat Linh–Ha Dong route is in the final stage of safety evaluation, though a deadline for commercial operation has not been set, with test runs for the second metro line scheduled for the end of the year. However, travel restrictions caused by the Covid-19 pandemic have hindered foreign experts from entering Vietnam, affecting the progress of both metro line projects. Vietnamese market is large enough for ambitious investment plans It is the message from Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc during a recent dialogue with Japanese economic groups and businesses that are interested in expanding their investment in Vietnam.

Lee earlier this year on charges including bribery. The South Korean technology firm also announced that CFO Lee Sang-hoon had been recommended as the new chairman of the board, and that long-time co-CEOs J.K. Shin and Yoon Boo-keun would step down. Kim Ki-nam, 59, was appointed to lead the Device Solutions division which makes components including memory chips; Koh Dong-jin, 56, would head up IT and Mobile Communications; and Kim Hyun-suk, 56, would lead Consumer Electronics, Samsung said in a statement. The changes were effective immediately. The current three co-CEO management structure would be maintained, it added, without elaborating. Samsung is expected to recommend the three new heads of divisions as co-CEOs after the next shareholder meeting in March. A Samsung spokeswoman declined to comment. Current Chief Financial Officer Lee Sang-hoon had declared he will resign from his CFO role, effective immediately, and has been recommended as chairman of the board. The moves come after Samsung Electronics CEO and Vice Chairman Kwon Oh-hyun announced on October 13 that he planned to step down from management. Samsung said Yoon and Shin decided to follow Kwon’s earlier announcement to resign, making way for new leaders. Jay Y. Lee was convicted in August and jailed for five years for bribing the country’s former president, raising concerns of a leadership vacuum at Samsung Electronics. He has appealed against his conviction and hearings are ongoing.

Mr. Landis is among those who have taken part in a bottom-up effort initiated by the organization to identify and screen prospects for district and circuit court judgeships as well as top legal jobs in the administration. Mr. Feingold said 45 groups working in 36 states spent months on the project and came up with 119 appeals court and 187 candidates for district court as well as almost 200 candidates for top and midlevel legal jobs. The group would not disclose the names of the judicial candidates but did provide demographic breakdowns that showed a range of legal expertise. Of the total, 83 are government or legal aid lawyers, 69 are plaintiff or civil rights lawyers, 52 are academics, 42 are state or magistrate judges and 25 are public defenders. At the same time, 166 of the 306 are women, 134 are Black, Indigenous or people of color and 186 are under the age of 50. “We think there should be a broader range of experience on the courts,” Mr. Feingold said. Those who have worked closely with Mr. Biden over the years believes he, too, wants the courts to have a different look. “That he wants the intellectual excellence and the capacity to judge appropriately is of course a given,” said Cynthia Hogan, a top adviser to Mr. Biden both in the Senate and in the White House. “I think what he has always looked for is people who have real life experience. He is big on sort of being able to put yourself in other people’s shoes.” Previous Businessman Pays Overdue Utility Bills for Dozens of Floridians, Again Next The Biggest Casting News From Disney’s Investor Day It’s hard to overstate how important this was for Trump’s first campaign.

__label__cc	0.742954	0.257046	Posted in Current Events Star has a Bad Day August 29, 2011 By the Common Constitutionalist From The Blaze: Back in March, NASA scientists observed a huge cosmic blast in the the constellation Draco. The events that followed were a mystery to them, until now. They have now confirmed that X-rays and gamma rays observed by NASA’s Swift satellite were the result of a black hole consuming a nearby star in another galaxy. According to Space.com, until now scientists had only witnessed the aftermath of stars being consumed by black holes, and that this event is helping them understand ”relativistic jets,” bursts of matter that shoot out at nearly the speed of light. Scientists say these observations could help them identify similar outbursts. At the time when initial observations were being made, astronomers said the blast was unusual because the gamma ray bursts lasted longer than similar events: Usually, gamma-ray bursts mark the destruction of a massive star, but flaring emission from these events never lasts more than a few hours. According to NASA, this is what scientists concluded in the months following: As a star falls toward a black hole, it is ripped apart by intense tides. The gas is corralled into a disk that swirls around the black hole and becomes rapidly heated to temperatures of millions of degrees. The innermost gas in the disk spirals toward the black hole, where rapid motion and magnetism creates dual, oppositely directed “funnels” through which some particles may escape. Particle jets driving matter at velocities greater than 80-90 percent the speed of light form along the black hole’s spin axis. In the case of Swift J1644+57, one of these jets happened to point straight at Earth.

__label__cc	0.579	0.421	On The Importance Of Diaereses Books,Gary Yeah, I know there’s an elephant in the room and we’ll be getting to it in a moment, let’s just be patient. I was reading Stand Still, Stay Silent this morning (as is my wont) and was taken by the final panel, which creator Minna Sundberg rendered in untranslated Swedish. Okay, it’s pretty clear from context, but I was curious so I hopped over to Google Translate and punched in the text: Forbannade finnjavel, Lalli Okay, Lalli is a proper name and so I left it off; but the response I got was less than satisfying: cursed finnjavel Okay, finnjavel looks like a compound word, and Lalli, who the dialogue is directed at, is Finnish; splitting it up gave: Forbannade finn javel … which gave me: Cursed Finn bastard Better! But odd that it didn’t recognize the compound word (there was also a slight digression where the language autodetection thought I was typing French, where javel translates as bleach). But what about the diacritic marks I’d left out? Javel also suggested son of a bitch, but what about jävel? Nice. Spelling everything correctly (Förbannade finnjävel) gave the much more conversational Bloody Finn bastard, which I’m going to go with (although oddly, förbannade finnjävel becomes cursing Finn bastard). I just found the entire thing a delightful example of the difference between translation and transliteration. Also, my regard for Ms Sundberg has gone up another notch, since she’s rendering SSSS in clear, colloquial English, which only somewhat resembles the Scandanavian languages. Oh, and did I mention that she did her last comic in your choice of English or Finnish? Or that Finnish is not like anything else that originated between the Ganges and the Atlantic? As noted back around Halloween, we mentioned that Wacom was putting together an anthology of digital comics, to be released sometime in January. Well, sometime is today, and Pressure/Sensitivity is now available for download over at comiXology. Here’s the thing, though — despite being free, you can’t download Pressure/Sensitivity unless you have a comiXology account, which I do not. I know this makes me a terrible resident of The Internet, but I won’t have anythign to do with DRM-heavy services that reserve the right to take back content I’ve paid for. And quite frankly, the last thing I need right now is another account with another service and another set of Terms of Service that says it can change the rules at any time in the future without notice. I can tell you that if you have a comiXology account, this is a no-brainer: contributors include the previously-announced Meredith Gran, Ming Doyle, and Giannis Milonogiannis, along with Mike Holmes and Ben Sears, cover by Ulises Farinas and Ryan Hill, and edited by Caleb Goellner. It is, as I write this, as close to 24 hours since the launch of Exploding Kittens, and the Kickstarter campaign for same is as close to US$2 million as likewise makes no difference. I’ll be honest — when I predicted yesterday that this game would out-pace the Tesla Museum campaign, I figured it would take a week or ten days; I really thought that the incredible pace of the first few hours would taper off. Instead, we’re north of 50,000 supporters and the main page updates both supporter count and total amount every few seconds. For contrast, the most-funded Kickstarter campaign was for a fancy cooler that raised US$13.2 million. The most-supported campaign I can find was that for Reading Rainbow with just under 106,000 backers. At this point, it seems certain that Exploding Kittens will break into the top 10 all-time most-funded Kickstarters (position #10 presently taken by a nanodrone that funded out at £2.36 million; the exchange rate on the day of campaign close equates that with US$3,522,760) and possibly be the most-backed of all time¹. Since we’re past the 24 hour mark and we clearly have at least 200 backers, the Fleen Funding Formula Mark 2 matched up with the present Kicktraq trend value of US$30 million² gives us a predicted finish in the range of US$6 million to US$9 million. Oh, and let’s note that this is presently for a campaign that only has two backer tiers (the two limited tiers are sold out), which is about as simple as you can get. If, as was mentioned in update #2 last night, the team decides on stretch goals, the frenzy could accelerate. Take a look at the daily data from the Order of the Stick campaign (of just about exactly two years ago) and see if you can pick out when Rich Burlew added especially popular stretch goal rewards. I said it yesterday and I’ll say it again: yikes. Update: Since starting the post, a new Kickstarter update has gone up for Exploding Kittens and the first stretch goal is simultaneously announced and achieved: the NSFW deck (available at the US$35 backer level, but not the US$20 level) will now have 40 cards instead of 20, no additional cost or shipping. Look for some of the 4300+ backers at the US$20 level to do some arithmetic and decide to re-pledge at the higher level. Spam of the day: Nothing of note today. ¹ Trying to sort the history of Kickstarter campaigns by popularity doesn’t actually sort by descending number of backers, oddly. ² You know, just 300,000% of goal, that’s all. posted by Gary Tyrrell on 01.21.15 @ 2:42 pm \| 2 Comments For what it’s worth, Comixology supports DRM-free comics: for some purchases (mostly from indies, as far as I can gather) such as the awesome Princeless</shameless plug>, you have the option to download them from the Comixology site site as DRM-free PDF or CBZ. In fact, I just realized I only ever bought one DRM-laden comic issue on Comixology. By Pierre Lebeaupin on 01.22.15 3:37 pm Thanks so much for the translation!

Putin's updated National Security Strategy From the UK Staff College staff's blog:http://defenceindepth.co/2016/01/27/...rity-strategy/ On December 31st 2015, while most of the world was focused on plans to welcome in the new year, Russian President Vladimir Putin unveiled an updated National Security Strategy (NSS). While it builds on some long-running themes in Russia’s foreign and security policy, it also makes it clear that Moscow has a clear understanding of the broad security challenges facing the country, from its low economic competitiveness to corruption, poor healthcare, interethnic tensions and extremism.

Russia’s Military Paper Tiger A short article from the Jamestown Foundation refers to technical issues with aircraft, a ship (no guesses which one) and tanks:https://jamestown.org/program/russia...y-paper-tiger/ This caught my attention on manpower: By October 1, the numbers of kontraktniki, warrant officers and sergeants accounted for 85.3 percent of the set targets, which are scheduled to rise to 100 percent in 2018. This means that, by 2018, the Armed Forces will have 220,000 officers, 50,000 warrant officers, 425,000 kontraktniki and “around 300,000 conscripts.” I know the Russians have relied more on officers than NCOs, but this seems rather lop-sided. Are the contractors not allowed to hold officer or NCO rank? This means that, by 2018, the Armed Forces will have 220,000 officers, 50,000 warrant officers, 425,000 kontraktniki and “around 300,000 conscripts.” - See more at: https://jamestown.org/program/russia....Nmc9i4v3.dpuf Russia reactivate 3000+ stored T-80 tanks from "Cold War".

BUT Russia kept sidestepping this destruction requirement by first claiming the two Chechen wars and then just ignoring OSCE demands... Last edited by davidbfpo; 11-25-2016 at 10:40 AM. Reason: Moved from Syria thread. Publication: Jamestown Foundation - Eurasia Daily Monitor Volume: 13 Issue: 183 By: Roger McDermott The reputation of Russia’s Armed Forces was boosted by its involvement in Ukraine and its out-of-area intervention in Syria, on the back of the publicity generated by ongoing long-term military modernization (see EDM, November 8). Overlapping the presidential election in the United States, Russia’s high-profile additional naval deployment to the Mediterranean Sea, spearheaded by its only but aging aircraft carrier, Admiral Kuznetsov, promised to further strengthen options to support the Damascus regime using high-precision strikes and more air sorties against Aleppo (TASS, November 12). The impression of Russia’s military as high-tech-centric was furthered by recent reports of the introduction of a new military internet to permit classified and secure transmissions in peacetime and during combat operations (Izvestia, October 19, November 10; Voyenno Promyshlennyy Kuryer, November 7). However, embarrassing technical glitches with modern military assets and the defense ministry’s hesitancy over procuring the latest tank design appear to signal enduring difficulties in the effort to transform the Armed Forces. President Vladimir Putin used a defense industry visit to Yaroslavl to confirm widely anticipated reductions in defense budget spending over the next three years while, at the same time, maintaining commitment to fostering a high-tech military. According to Putin, this thrifty strategy will enable the state to focus on introducing into the military components such as “informatization,” “intelligence” in its broadest sense (human and technical), communication systems, as well as high-precision and high-tech weaponry. However, in the context of declining defense spending or optimizing existing plans, it is less likely the military will soon see the introduction of advanced systems such as the S-500 air defense system, or large numbers of the widely discussed Armata T-14 tank (Kommersant, November 14). According to the Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu, by the end of 2018, the total number of contract servicemen (kontraktniki) will reach the desired 425,000. By October 1, the numbers of kontraktniki, warrant officers and sergeants accounted for 85.3 percent of the set targets, which are scheduled to rise to 100 percent in 2018. This means that, by 2018, the Armed Forces will have 220,000 officers, 50,000 warrant officers, 425,000 kontraktniki and “around 300,000 conscripts.” These targets appear within reach, even bearing in mind that those figures were set before the collapse in the global oil market. Therefore, Shoigu is also setting a high priority on changes to defense laws designed to strengthen territorial defense. These changes envisage placing responsibility for mobilization on local governors and subordinating all security agencies and personnel to each military district (MD) and joint strategic command (Obedinonnye Strategicheskoe Komandovanie—OSK) in wartime. Previously it was thought that the MD would switch to an OSK in wartime, but Shoigu stated that both will function simultaneously (Novosti VPK, November 11). If, however, the drive to adopt high-tech systems and markedly increase contract personnel numbers is working well, it is rather odd to find the defense ministry subscribing to a “mobilization” insurance policy—especially considering the unlikely scenarios in which Russia’s hypothetical adversaries would simply sit and wait for such mobilization to occur. In this rapidly modernizing military, with its highly ambitious plans and targets, it is worth recalling that the advanced Armata T-14 tank has still not entered the Ground Forces despite its appearance on Red Square the past two years, during the annual Victory Day Parade. Russian plans include procuring 2,200 T-14s. But in the current economic climate, with military belt tightening being inevitable, it is difficult to foresee when this platform might be purchased in significant numbers. Indeed, the defense ministry has recently opted to reboot the old T-80, in what seems to be a cost-cutting exercise. The updated T-80BV will use less kerosene and feature increased accuracy in target acquisition. These older platforms are reportedly in plentiful supply, with up to 3,000 in military warehouses, making the cost-effective option of modernizing them alluring for the defense ministry. Moreover, with its updated characteristics, including better fuel economy, the T-80BV may compete with the T-90. Even so, these are still Soviet-designed tanks, and their prioritization, if it comes at the expense of the more costly Russian-designed modern T-14, suggests continued reliance on tried-and-tested systems (Izvestia, November 14). Following the arrival of the Admiral Kuznetsov to the Eastern Mediterranean, a routine test flight by a small number of fighter jets resulted in a navy MiG-29 ditching into sea a few kilometers from the aircraft carrier. On November 14, the Russian defense ministry confirmed that a routine training flight involving three MiG-29s had resulted in the loss of one with the pilot safely ejecting. The cause of the accident was described as due to a “technical fault.” The loss of the fighter jet suggests that all is not well in the Russian military aviation industry or its capacity to successfully produce advanced air assets. The MiG-29s in question were the latest generation MiG-29Ks and MiG-29KUBs. The training flights in question were conducted by two of each of these types, with the consequent loss of one MiG-29K (Life.ru, November 14). The fourth-generation MiG-29K fighter—as well as its training variant, the MiG-29KUB—is also being exported to India. In 2004, India signed a $730 million deal with Russian Aircraft Corporation MiG (formerly Mikoyan) to purchase 16 carrier-based fighters (12 MiG-29Ks and 4 MiG-29KUBs), which were delivered in 2011. In 2010, India signed another contract for $1.2 billion to deliver 29 MiG-29Ks by the end of 2016. In August 2016, India’s Air Force reported experiencing numerous problems with the MiG-29K, including its electronic control system, complaining that the platform is “riddled with problems.” Likely, the Russian defense ministry sent a small number of these to the Syrian theater for further testing and pilot training. The Russian defense industry has responded to the complaints from India by criticizing their specialists in handling repair and maintenance (Life.ru, November 14). In June 2011, a test flight of the MiG-29KUB in Astrakhan region resulted in a crash, killing both its crew members. The cause of the sudden catastrophe was again said to be “equipment failure,” most likely to do with the mechanism used in the folding of its wings. Then, on December 4, 2014, another MiG-29KUB crashed during a training flight, with both pilots ejecting and hospitalized in serious condition. Again, the cause of the accident was given as equipment failure (TASS, RBK, November 14). Russia’s continued reliance on upgrading older existing platforms may yield cost-cutting benefits. But this, combined with manpower and training issues, offers a less rose-tinted insight into the current condition of Russia’s Armed Forces.

__label__wiki	0.577446	0.577446	Go and find something out Home » Blogs » Matthew Evans's blog » A Guide to the Michelin Guide Submitted by Matthew Evans on 20 January 2020 - 10:54pm “Consult the MICHELIN Guide gastronomic destinations around the world and discover the best restaurants and talents.” Every year a little red book is published, a book in which specific gastronomic ‘experts’ judge and rate the very finest of the culinary world. They do this by dishing (ha-ha) out up to a maximum of three stars to whom they believe to be the best deserving restaurants and restaurateurs alike. That book is called the Michelin guide. The same company that make car tyres. Cuisine…and car tyres. Just a few days ago, the 2020 Michelin guide removed a star from Paul Bocuse’s restaurant, ending its 55-year record of being a 3-star establishment. Subsequently generating an eruption of controversy in France. Food critic Périco Légasse called it "an absurd and unfair decision". "Michelin cannot be so stupid," he ever so passionately believes. "Today its discredit is total, the institution is dead," in reference to the Michelin Guide. The knuckles of Michelin simply rage scarlet with the unrelenting grip that they hold over the culinary world. The influence they have over the chefs and restaurants is simply mind boggling, and has in-fact even proved to be dangerous at times. The lengths chef's push themselves and those around them to achieve a star in this holy book, borders on brutal. You’ve seen Gordon Ramsey (holds 7 stars) on TV, shouting and screaming at cowering sous chefs, hiding behind beads of sweat from a failed souffle. You may have also seen Ramsey’s original mentor, Marco-Pierre White (held 3 stars) who actually made Ramsey himself cry whilst working for him. White was dubbed the first celebrity chef, who infamously called the working life in his kitchen as “the SAS of cooking”. Both have been embroiled in controversy and lawsuits throughout their careers, but their actions in the kitchen whilst on the hunt for another star, or to retain a star, can simply be deemed assault. A young chef at Harvey’s (White’s restaurant) once complained about the excessive heat in the kitchen, the back of his chef’s whites was promptly slashed open by a knife wielding Marco. I’m sure he’d simply mistook him for a salmon. Ramsey on the other hand, on camera for any one of his earlier shows, can be seen throwing staff around at will. Remember, this is all in aid of the great pursuit of a star, from a car tyre manufacturer. In 1999 White gave his stars back when he became disillusioned with Michelin and what they stood for: "I was being judged by people who had less knowledge than me, so what was it truly worth? I gave Michelin inspectors too much respect, and I belittled myself. I had three options: I could be a prisoner of my world and continue to work six days a week, I could live a lie and charge high prices and not be behind the stove or I could give my stars back, spend time with my children and re-invent myself." Not all chef’s joined White’s rebellion however, for Michelin to them was still the only voice that mattered to them. In 2003, tragedy befell a prominent French restaurant due to the pressures of Michelin. Bernard Loiseau, head chef and owner of La Côte d'Or, had heard speculation that Michelin were planning to remove one of his 3 stars as a result of the restaurants failure to keep itself aligned with new trends. Having once confided in fellow chef Jacques Lameloise that if he were to ever lose a star, he would kill himself. Loiseau worked a full day in the kitchen, then shot himself in the head with a shotgun. Michelin will always generate controversy. They are slated by critics for being bias towards French cooking, and it’s not surprising. French cooking has been the staple for a Michelin star. Plain and simple. Even if the restaurant is not in France, in London or New York per say, you can bet your life it will be heavily influenced by French cuisine. In recent times Michelin have hit back, saying the food that they hold in the highest esteem is not all pompous, French, expensive, extravagant and complicated. As proved when in 2011, amazingly, a small dim-sum restaurant in Hong Kong, received a Michelin star. Becoming both the cheapest Michelin starred restaurant in the world, and also the most glaringly obvious PR move. Michelin should not hold as much power over an industry as it does. It’s at times even poisonous when you consider the suicide of Bernard Loiseau, and the behaviour of chefs when trying to appease the guide. I don’t doubt this brochure of poncey restaurants will endure. I will continue to eat frozen horse from Tesco, turn my nose up at fois grois and life will go on. For those still bending over for Michelin however, I doubt will have such an easy time.

Sector Employees during COVID-19 buywindsoressex.com Ontario ready to compete in the self-driving car sector; The province's startup culture combined with the auto industry is suited to challenge Silicon Valley in the field The Globe and Mail/Byline: Matt Bubbers Ontario is becoming a hub of self-driving car development and that’s potentially good news for anyone who’s been stuck in gridlock, or frustrated by the forlorn search for a parking spot downtown in winter. Autonomous and semi-autonomous cars developed in our backyard mean cars that are going to work in our climate - not to mention getting a slice of this trillion-dollar industry. “We have many of the pieces needed to become a leading player in autonomous vehicle technology, and ultimately - speaking kind of selfishly - for our area to really benefit from it in terms of a better quality of life,” said Oshoma Momoh, chief technical advisor at Toronto’s MaRS Discovery District. Canada is not like California or Arizona, where fleets of highly automated vehicles are seen testing on public streets year-round. Autonomous vehicles on our roads will have to deal with the worst weather and the slipperiest conditions. Autonomous and connected car development is happening on public and private fronts in Ontario, all at once. Major automakers already established in the province are looking for new business and investment opportunities here. General Motors opened a lab at Communitech, a startup incubator in Waterloo, as well as a technical centre in Markham to focus on software development. Infiniti, Nissan’s luxury brand, has hosted the second Infiniti Lab Toronto, a competitive six-week accelerator program for startups. The most promising new companies could attract investment and support from the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance’s US$1-billion venture capital fund. The provincial government’s Autonomous Vehicle Innovation Network (AVIN) is creating six regional technology development sites to foster smaller companies in the autonomous car space and connect them to major automotive and tech industry players. Southwestern Ontario Region (London and Windsor) — vehicle cybersecurity and cross-border technologies. Partners: WindsorEssex Economic Development Corporation (WEEDC) and London Economic Development Corporation (LEDC) in collaboration with University of Windsor, University of Western Ontario, Fanshawe College, St. Clair College, City of Windsor, City of London and WETech Alliance and Tech Alliance (both part of the Ontario Network of Entrepreneurs). The MaRS Discovery District in Toronto will focus on artificial intelligence for autonomous vehicles, the Durham site on human-machine interface and user experience, Hamilton on multi-modal and integrated mobility, Ottawa on networks and communication, London/Windsor on cybersecurity and cross-border tech and Waterloo on high-definition mapping and localization. Each site is already partnered with local universities and will receive in-kind support from industry. “The idea being,” Momoh said, “that as a company working on autonomous vehicles, you can engage with any one of these regional technology development sites. It makes it easier to test your ideas, get feedback and hopefully build partnerships that help you go to market.” He described the sites as something similar to a co-working space with expertise, advice, specialized shared hardware, opportunity for networking and collaboration, and a direct link to automakers and industry suppliers. “Imagine you have cars - self-driving or partially self-driving - going around on test tracks or city streets. There’s lots of sensor data coming in from many cameras [and] lidars,” Momoh explained. “We think there’s a need to have a shared data set, to collect the sub-set of data that everyone’s comfortable sharing with each other, and make it available to all the players.” It could then be used by a startup to, for example, train a machine-learning algorithm to correctly identify a lane marking versus a pile of snow. Creating autonomous cars that can reliably see through falling snow backlit by morning sun and sensors that don’t get blinded by a blizzard, are among the next big hurdles facing the autonomous car industry. Researchers in northern climates naturally understand the issues because they have to deal with them day-to-day. The six development sites should give Ontario a leg up in the ultra-competitive global race to develop autonomous vehicles. The worldwide economic impact of which, according to a study by Intel, could be worth US$7-trillion by 2050. “If you look across jurisdictions that have an automotive sector in the world, they’re all looking into this space and investing heavily,” said Raed Kadri, director of automotive technology and mobility innovation at Ontario Centres of Excellence, the provincial agency responsible for AVIN. Toronto is already home to one of the highest concentrations of artificial-intelligence startups in the world. Uber, Alphabet’s Sidewalk Labs, Nvidia and Samsung have all recently expanded or opened offices in this city. The province is also home to world-class universities and world-class talent, such as University of Toronto professor Raquel Urtasun who leads Uber’s Advanced Technologies Group in Toronto. In addition, Ontario already has a large auto manufacturing sector, something Silicon Valley does not. Combined, more than two million vehicles are assembled every year in Canadian plants owned by Ford, Fiat Chrysler, General Motors, Honda and Toyota. They’re supported by a local network of nearly 700 suppliers. “A lot of the large companies that are in Silicon Valley are next coming to Ontario and saying, ‘How can we participate in Ontario’s ecosystem?’ because it is that strong,” Kadri said. The goal of the AVIN and the six new technology development sites, is to connect all of these disparate strengths, to create bridges between them, in order to - so the theory goes - secure Ontario’s place as a leader in the booming autonomous-vehicle industry. Having so much knowledge, expertise and investment in the autonomous car industry should spur all levels of government to enact regulatory frameworks for these new technologies in a timely fashion. That way, drivers and potentially all road users stand to benefit sooner rather than later. The larger point of all this goes beyond the immediate objectives of sustaining and growing Ontario’s auto and tech industries. The payoff for regular drivers won’t come in the next model-year, but maybe five or 10 years down the road. “We already live in this incredibly congested city and we’ve got more people coming in every day, and we expect the congestion is only going to get worse, at least for the next little while,” Momoh said. “How do we live better? I think it’s safety, faster commutes, or at least less stressful commutes, less pollution, less waste-creating vehicles that sit idle for 80 percent of the day. There are so any potential benefits.” In and of themselves, autonomous cars and ride sharing and vague talk of innovation are not solutions to the problems we face getting around; combined with the right urban planning and policy though, they just might be.

Download The Movie Musical book, Irresistible and authoritative, The Movie Musical! is an in-depth look at the singing, dancing, happy-making world of Hollywood musicals, beautifully illustrated in color and black-and-white--an essential text for anyone who's ever laughed, cried, or sung along at the movies. Leading film historian Jeanine Basinger reveals, with her trademark wit and zest, the whole story of the Hollywood musical--in the most telling, most incisive, most detailed, most gorgeously illustrated book of her long and remarkable career. From Fred Astaire, whom she adores, to La La Land, which she deplores, Basinger examines a dazzling array of stars, strategies, talents, and innovations in the history of musical cinema. Whether analyzing a classic Gene Kelly routine, relishing a Nelson-Jeanette operetta, or touting a dynamic hip hop number (in the underrated Idlewild), she is a canny and charismatic guide to the many ways that song and dance have been seen--and heard--on film. With extensive portraits of everyone from Al Jolson, the Jazz Singer; to Doris Day, whose iconic sunniness has overshadowed her dramatic talents; from Deanna Durbin, that lovable teen-star of the '30s and '40s; to Shirley T. and Judy G.; from Bing to Frank to Elvis; from Ann Miller to Ann-Margret; from Disney to Chicago . . . focusing on many beloved, iconic films (Top Hat; Singin' in the Rain; Meet Me in St. Louis; The Sound of Music) as well as unduly obscure gems (Eddie Cantor's Whoopee!; Murder at the Vanities; Sun Valley Serenade; One from the Heart), this book is astute, informative, and pure pleasure to read.

Download The Jarmusch Way book, Since the early 1980s, Jim Jarmusch has produced a handful of idiosyncratic films that have established him as one of the most imaginatively allusive directors in the history of American cinema. Three of his films—Dead Man (1995), Ghost Dog (1999), and The Limits of Control (2009)—demonstrate the director’s unique take on Eastern and Aboriginal spirituality. In The Jarmusch Way, Julian Rice looks closely at these three films and explores their relation to Eastern philosophy and particular works of Western literature, painting, and cinema. Making a case that this director deserves far more serious attention than he has received thus far, The Jarmusch Way thoroughly discusses three of his most intriguing films.	cc/2021-04/en_middle_0036.json.gz/line77

The project created a public space sensitive to the historical themes and “the unique sense of place” evoked by James Fennimore Cooper in Chapter 5, of “The Last of the Mohicans,” while providing a secure terrace area on the island with appropriate historical displays, signage, lighting, and landscaping. The project also included a recommendation for Public Art to serve as a focal point, i.e., sculpture, diorama, photo iconographic, etc., and convey the site’s archeological significance. Preliminary design services included developing design alternatives, evaluating social, economic and environmental impacts associated with the construction of the site and preparing the design report for NYSDOT approval. Final Design included layout and details of the access drive, retaining walls and pedestrian bridge (abutments, superstructures, etc.), concrete observation platform, access gate, drainage, and interpretive signage. The site of the historically famous Cooper’s Cave, which can be seen from the bridge, was made famous by James Fenimore Cooper in the first American novel, “The Last of the Mohicans”. In Chapters V and VI of that novel, Hawkeye, the Scout, shoots the rapids below Glens Falls in a canoe, and hides his party in the cavern just below the falls. The cavern can be seen to this day. The book contains an accurate description of the general area and the falls themselves plus several notes by Fenimore on the appearance at the time he wrote the book. “The rocky island and the two caverns,” Fenimore wrote, “are well known to every traveler, since the former sustains a pier of a bridge which is now thrown across the river immediately above the falls.” Survey & Mapping Six City Schools.

__label__cc	0.502179	0.497821	Nanotechnology Based Approaches For Enhancements of Bioavailability of Sustain Release Formulation Sandip Appasaheb Hapse SPPU, Pune Punit R. Rachh Bhagwant University, Sikar Road, Ajmer, Rajasthan, India In recent years drug bioavailability has become a subject of matter not only in drug development, additionally within the early stages of drug discovery. Bioavaibility is the major and important pharmacokinetic property of drug. This property of drug is used to describe the fraction of an administered dose of unchanged drug which can reaches to the systemic circulation. When a drug is administered intravenously, its bioavailability is 100%.and if the drug is administered through other routes like oral, its bioavailability decreases because of the incomplete absorption or first pass metabolism. So there is a need in the enhancement of the bioavaibility of sustained release dosage form.This is a consequence of the finding that the majority of candidate drugs that were unsuccessful in clinical trials did so because of problems with absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion (ADME) and toxicology. Efforts are being created within the Pharmaceutical industry to improve success rates by taking into account the ADME and toxicology aspects in drug discovery. The efficacy of a drug further depends on the ability of the dosage to deliver the active drug to the site of action and at a rate and amount which is sufficient to show the desired pharmacological response. This property is also known as bioavaibility or biologic avaibility. Punit R.

__label__wiki	0.949222	0.949222	Dark Shadow Over Palamecia Squaresoft, now Square-Enix’s, ironically-named Final Fantasy on the Famicom / Nintendo Entertainment System saved the developer from financial ruin, naturally encouraging them to turn it into a franchise with its first sequel on the Famicom. The Big N’s North American branch had initial plans to translate the game with the subtitle Dark Shadow Over Palakia, although this was towards the end of the NES’s lifespan, and the localization was canned. It wouldn’t be until Final Fantasy Origins for the Sony PlayStation that Final Fantasy II would receive a legal English version, and given the changes in the sequel, it’s understandable why it wasn’t translated in the first place. There’s an evil empire. There’s a rebellion. There’s a character with questionable allegiances. Check your friendly neighborhood Star Wars for details on how the plot will turn out, with the three initial playable protagonists, Firion, Maria, and Guy, having scant development, and the party’s fourth member subject to frequent change until the endgame. One scene where a giant airship pursues a smaller one directly rips off A New Hope, and it’s fairly obvious that the scenario writer watched a little too much of the science-fiction franchise. The translation isn’t bad, aside from Guy’s pidgin caveman speech, but the storyline is easily the game’s nadir. As would be the trend in future sequels for the Final Fantasy series, the second entry eschews its predecessor’s mechanics in favor of revamped gameplay, with no experience system and instead a character development system that would influence Square’s oddball SaGa series. Actions performed during combat, and damage taken, affects how characters develop after randomly-encountered turn-based battles, with each character able to attack with their equipped weapon, use MP-consuming magic, use a consumable item, defend, or attempt to escape, with the last option at times rarely working, but luckily, the save-anywhere (outside battle, that is) feature minimizes wasted playtime. The player faces a maximum of eight enemies, the first two two-character rows able to execute melee attacks, although the remaining enemies in rows behind may cast ranged magic, some of which can be somewhat annoying, such as confusing your characters, and regardless of how much the player has grinded their characters or what equipment they have, some foes can still do massive damage at times. The damage that the player’s party can deal in return is also heavily subject to the random number gods, although one spell, Berserk, when cast repeatedly, can increase damage threshold. However, most stat-buffing magic is useless at lower levels, and spells reaching genuine effectiveness takes a lot of grinding. The player teaches any character a magic spell by using its respective book, although much magic is useless, and finding the ones that are truly helpful such as Osmose, which siphons MP from enemies, can be difficult without a guide. There is, however, an occasional bit of strategy where certain enemies are vulnerable to specific elements, although there is no scan magic available, necessitating the player memorize what they’re strong and weak against. The player’s characters also gain physical prowess with weapons through repeatedly attacking, with different ones available such as swords, bows, axes, staves/maces, and the like, although there is again the wild unpredictability of how much damage they’ll deal against certain foes. One constant, however, is the acquisition of money from all successful battles, and the high threshold of how many consumable items the player can have available in battle, an improvement over the Famicom and PlayStation versions that restricted them, with the player not needing to worry about running out of inventory space. Overall, the battle system does have some bright spots and exploits, but doesn’t always work. Aside from the save-anywhere feature, control doesn’t fare much better. While the menu system is easy, direction on how to advance the central storyline is often poor, and the keyword mechanic during dialogues with certain characters doesn’t help. Maps for dungeons, some of which are labyrinthine, in addition to that which exists for the overworld, would have been welcome as well, and Final Fantasy II has an odd mechanic regarding doors leading the player’s sprite to the center of an empty room with an astronomical encounter rate. Ultimately, the game doesn’t always interact well with players. Inarguably the high point of the game is composer Nobuo Uematsu’s soundtrack, with plentiful standout tracks such as the rebels’ theme, the battle music, dungeon themes, town music, and so forth. There are some weak tracks such as the boss battle theme, and more diversity in the standard combat music would have been welcome, with the further issue that it often loops, given the length of some battles. The sound effects are good, though, and in the end, the aurals serve the game well. The visuals, however, don’t show any marked improvement over those in the rerelease of the first Final Fantasy, although it does have strong points such as the color scheme and character artwork. Regardless, the chibi character sprites don’t show much emotion, the enemies in battle are inanimate and just flash when executing commands, the player’s characters don’t contact their adversaries when performing melee attacks, and so forth. All in all, the graphics could have easily used improvement. Finally, a straightforward playthrough can take players a little less than a day’s worth of playtime, and while there are features to enhance lasting appeal such as bonus dungeons, the sequel isn’t enjoyable enough to warrant supplemental play. In summation, one can easily understand why Final Fantasy II initially didn’t receive translation outside Japan, given its offbeat and occasionally-frustrating game mechanics, hackneyed storyline, middling graphics, and general lack of lasting appeal. Regardless, it does have its redeeming aspects such as the decent ideas behind the battle system, the save-anywhere feature (a major improvement over the Famicom and PlayStation versions that the Game Boy Advance version had as well), the competent translation, and enjoyable soundtrack. Regardless, the first Final Fantasy sequel certainly isn’t a bucket list game, and players definitely aren’t missing much by skipping it. This review is based on a playthrough of the iOS version on an iPad Pro. +Some good ideas. +Save-anywhere feature. +Competent localization. +Good soundtrack. -Gameplay can be tedious. -Hackneyed storyline. -Middling visuals. -Not fun enough to replay. You aren’t missing much.

__label__wiki	0.758656	0.758656	Live camera chat in saudi 100 dating in norway · 29-Apr-2017 14:21 Former Vice President Joe Biden is launching a new political action committee, a platform that will allow him to provide help to favored candidates and, inevitably, boost speculation about a possible run for the Democratic nomination in 2020.The organization, which Biden is calling American Possibilities, will be staffed by a former top political aide to the vice president, Greg Schultz, who is also a veteran of President Obama's reelection campaign.President Trump hasn’t made a final decision on whether the U. will quit the Paris Accord on climate change, but White House officials indicated Wednesday that he was headed in that direction, setting off a worldwide reaction.Wednesday morning, when officials told some news organizations that Trump had settled on pulling out of the climate agreement, seemingly everyone in the world jumped in to try to influence or spin his decision, from the Chinese government to the coal industry to the state of California.It specified that neither of the organization's two top leaders — President Randall Stephenson and Chief Scout Executive Mike Surbaugh — had placed such a call.The mayor of London has reiterated his calls for President Trump’s state visit to Britain to be canceled in the wake of the city's terrorist incident, saying his policies “go against everything we stand for.” The war of words between the two leaders intensified further Monday evening after Trump criticized Mayor Sadiq Khan's response to the London Bridge terrorist attack in two tweets, and the mayor said Trump should not be welcomed in the capital.Within hours, he and other party leaders were booed as they welcomed delegates to a state convention that would be filled with persistent internal warfare on healthcare and other issues.Life's more fun when you live in the moment :) Happy Snapping! “I just haven’t got the time to deal with tweets from Donald Trump.” “It’s a nightmare,” he said, presiding in a high-backed leather wing chair off the lobby of the Beverly Hills Hotel.

__label__cc	0.731619	0.268381	Money Street News Mortgages & Home Why The Stock Market’s Rise Isn’t Just A Trump Rally If you’ve checked your retirement account lately or read the business headlines you probably know the stock market is riding high. The major U.S. stock indexes are in record territory. So what’s lifting the market? Despite all the turmoil in Washington, is it still the Trump rally? Since the U.S. election, the S&P 500 is up 16 percent and the Dow is up 18 percent, even though President Trump has yet to deliver on most of his pro-growth policies, including tax cuts and a big infrastructure plan. But finance professor Jeremy Siegel of the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School says Congress and the White House have eased regulations and produced “a friendly attitude towards business. That’s one positive” for stocks. Plus corporate tax relief from Washington is still a possibility. The failure of the health care bill, while a black eye for Republicans, could actually clear the way for congressional action on taxes later this summer. That’s helping drive stocks higher. Other forces driving the rally But there are other forces driving the stock rally “that are not attributable to Trump, at all”, Siegel says. One is faster global growth. That, combined with a recent decline in the value of the dollar has sparked more demand for U.S. goods abroad. That’s helped boost U.S. company profits. “Almost 40 percent of the profits of S&P 500 companies come from abroad,” Siegel says. So, a stronger global economy is boosting U.S. stock prices. U.S. growth is still sluggish — a 1.4 percent rate in the first quarter — and far below the Trump administration’s goal of 3 percent. However, job creation has been solid, boosting incomes. Siegel points out that another thing that’s has helped stocks is the fact that they face no real competition from other assets. Bonds, the main alternative, aren’t that attractive. That’s because long-term interest rates remain very low and investors would rather buy stocks than a 10-year Treasury that gives them an annual return of only 2 1/4 percent. A stock bubble? Some people see this as a dangerous stock market bubble, though Siegel isn’t one of them. That fear is largely connected to the huge stimulus central banks have injected into the global economy since the financial crisis. The concern is that lots of that money has been invested in stocks, and dramatically inflated their value. Central bankers, including Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen, have made clear the stimulus will be taken away very gradually. So far, that’s been enough to reassure investors. However, if the effort in Washington to get a corporate tax cut stalls, Siegel says that would have “a negative effect” on stocks. Previous Post:Tribune Editorial: Make holiday memories happy ones.

__label__wiki	0.52355	0.52355	Legacy of Valour Exhibition Opens in Parliament March 16th, 2017 \| Posted by Singh in Current Issues \| Uncategorized - (0 Comments) The extraordinary contribution of Indian soldiers to the Great War effort was highlighted with launch of the ‘Legacy of Valour’ exhibition in Parliament last week. The exhibition marked the inordinate contribution of 1.5m Indian soldiers who fought in the many theatres of war during 1914-18. The exhibition launch last Monday was attended by His Excellency Mr. Y.K. Sinha (Indian High Commissioner), Baroness Flather, Lord Singh of Wimbledon and Reading West MP Alok Sharma. Organiser Inderpal Singh Dhanjal said that the overwhelming reaction of those who attended the opening ceremony was that it was both inspirational and informative. Mr Dhanjal said attendees told him the exhibition “must be shown in other cities to educate and raise awareness of the sacrifices of Sikh and other Indian soldiers in WW1.” Although the exhibition in Parliament is now closed, Mr Dhanjal informed the NSO he is in negotiations with interested parties and will be organising another viewing in the South East.

__label__cc	0.586966	0.413034	Posts tagged ‘Halo’ Creative director Marcus Lehto of Bungie Studios thoughts on Halo Wars Picked up on a Computerandvideogames.com interview with Bungie’s creative director Marcus Lehto today which looks back at Bungie during the Halo years and the future of the studio going forward. The interview does touch on Halo Wars and the studios thoughts about Ensemble working on the title. - Looking back, were you happy with Microsoft’s decision to make Halo Wars? What did you think of the game, and its reception? What’s your stance on Halo spin-offs in general? For Halo Wars I can say that we weren’t involved with it at all, but at the time we figured – and it’s still true – that if anyone would want to take a stab at a Halo RTS, Ensemble had the pedigree and talent to do it. Ultimately, all of us were happy with how it turned out; they would have been hard pressed to do a better job at an RTS on console. Certainly elements like the cinematics – how they enriched different parts of the universe – as fans it was really cool to see that. Would you have liked Microsoft to come to you? We’re surprised you weren’t involved with Halo Wars at all… Well, we didn’t have any room in our schedule anyway. We had a pretty rigorous schedule to get Halo 3 out of the door, so I think Bungie has a pedigree for making those types of games, but not to the extent Ensemble did. It made a lot more sense. We were focused on getting bullets on pixels, giving people a tight, fun, action packed world, It was the right fit. It is clear that Bungie were very pleased to have Ensemble work on Halo Wars and felt safe the studio would do a good job with the Halo IP. Halo Wars turned out to be a great game and as Marcus says they would have indeed been hard pressed to do a better job for an RTS based console. The full interview can be found below which also contains some interesting questions and answers about Bungie’s past, present and future plans. http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=261874 Correction: Halo Reach has multiple forums For those who have read my ranty post regarding the new AOEO forums I have received an email advising of an incorrect fact regarding the following text: “It would be like Halo Reach detaching from Bungie.net and setting up shop somewhere else” As it turns out Halo Reach has multiple community sites as follows: http://halo.xbox.com/forums/ http://forums.xbox.com/1496/ShowForum.aspx http://www.bungie.net/forums/topics.aspx?forumID=304365 That’s right, there are three official community hubs for that one game and its franchise. Personally, I feel having three official community sites for a franchise is a negative as it splits the community three ways unless people have three accounts for checking three separate forums. It is my opinion that one centralised community for a game series developed by the same (or similar) developer helps keeps the community together and increases the audience size. Nonetheless readers should consider the above information when reading my previous blog post. Anthony Long – Composes excellent Halo Wars five long years music video Anthony Long, a fan of the Halo Wars Soundtrack originally composed by Stephen Rippy has uploaded a YouTube video of his own version of the Spirit of Fire music piece. I think you will agree that this is an excellent version and I am sure Stephen Rippy would be proud of a fans hard work on this. You can see the video below and a link to the original YouTube page. You can also find a direct download of the MP3. I encourage you to leave comments on the YouTube webpage and rate the video if you like it. “That’s a really cool interpretation of ”Spirit of Fire” - I like it quite a bit and am really pleased that the theme meant enough to inspire some creativity.” – Stephen Rippy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2S8sos-DjjA 5 Long Years	cc/2021-04/en_middle_0036.json.gz/line145
__label__wiki	0.947152	0.947152	Posted: August 20, 2007 at 10:49 am Jihad the musical opens Muslims in England are calling for the Prime Minister to condemn a new play making fun of terrorism. The new play features women in burkas, suicide bombers and singing – and guess what if it was about anything else it would have opened and closed without anyone ever talking about it, let alone trying to boycott it. International terrorism and the threat to Britain from Al-Qaeda would probably be deemed by most as unlikely subject matter for a musical. After all, suicide bombing, mass bloodshed and fundamental Islam do not exactly lend themselves to singing and dancing. But Jihad the Musical by the Silk Circle Production company has forged on regardless and is already being performed on stage at the Edinburgh Festival. A scene from Jihad The Musical at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival The controversial satire about Islamic terrorism includes such classic tunes as “Building a bomb today, what does the manual say” and “I wanna be like Osama”. Perhaps its creators were inspired by the success of The Producers – a runaway broadway hit which attracted criticism for its camp rendition of Nazi Germany. Like that production, the terrorism musical – billed as a “madcap gallop through the wacky world of international terrorism” – has already sparked protests. A petition calling for the Prime Minister to condemn the musical has been launched on his Downing Street website. A terrorist with cardboad AK47 in a scene from Jihad The Musical It says: “We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to condemn the tasteless portrayal of terrorism and its victims in Jihad the Musical.” But producer James Lawler has downplayed the protest, saying: “We have no intention of causing offence or insult with this show, It is simply a musical comedy.” The musical tells the story of a young Afghan peasant Sayid who dreams of making it as a flower farmer selling poppies in the West. His plans are thwarted by a jihadi cell seeking to blow up Western targets, in particular one in Britain known as the “Unidentified, Very Prestigious Landmark”. Sayid sings to his burkha clad mentor: “I can only see your eyes” and theatre-goers are also treated to a song called “We’re going to rock the righteous, to the Jihad jive”. The story comes to a head on the night of the attack when Sayid must decide whose side he is on. His sister eventually saves him, along with the French who sing “We turned and ran”. The Independent said: “The truth is that although the show doesn’t exactly bomb, neither Zoe Samuel’s lyrics nor Evan Cabnet’s production are quite sharp enough to offend. “It could have been a lot more topical and hard-hitting if it wanted to be really inflammatory.” The reviewer added that the ending was “almost heart-warming”. Jihad the Musical runs until August 26. I’m pretty sure when determine that entire subjects are off limits that’s when there is true censorship, although I’m pretty sure the ACLU wouldn’t agree.

__label__wiki	0.808134	0.808134	Jason Fitz But then it won't be unknown anymore Right so sometimes Jace just needed to be outside and do things which as it turned out was kinda hard when you went to an underground school. He was a third year now which meant he could go to Pearl Street, which was the outdoors, but it was just a strip mall. The biggest place they had that was kind of like the outdoors was the park thing in front of the courthouse, but that was always full of people smoking weed. Not that Jace had anything against people smoking weed, but he didn’t think it was his jam and he didn’t like being around the smell, so that was out. Which meant that until Pearl Street got a real park or something, Jace was stuck in the outside-inside, a.k.a. the Quidditch Pitch and the Outdoor Classroom. There were woods, sort of, which was cool, and Jace kind of always wanted to test and see how far back the woods actually went. But he wanted to do that with someone rather than exploring alone and maybe getting eaten by some sort of wild creature that the new professor had brought in to inhabit the woods. Jace was like, ninety-nine percent sure that he was unlikely to get eaten by anything on the Quidditch Pitch though, so that was the route he went. You could still see the kind of nature-y pieces around, anyway, and he figured he could always grab a broom from the shed, which was kept unlocked, if he wanted. Jace didn’t currently have his own broom which made playing Quidditch kind of a pain, but it was totally worth it because he still hadn’t gotten over the rush of riding on a broom and dodging semi-sentient metal that was trying to kill him. Man, Quidditch was a great game. Quodpot was probably even better, probably. So there was Jace, grabbing a broom from the shed off behind the stands of the Quidditch Pitch, and then there was Jace, with a broom in hand, and then there was Jace, who decided that the best way to mount the broom was to run whooping on to the Pitch, throw it up in the air, and jump on. And then there was Jace, on the ground, with dirt and grass stains on two semi-skinned knees, because that was absolutely not how you were supposed to mount brooms and the broom totally knew it. Damn. Worst of the worst luck, too, because there was someone actually on the Pitch. Jace winced and stood up, grabbing the stubborn broom off the ground where it had landed when gravity had happened after he’d thrown it into the air. Well, that was that. When he stood up and walked towards the person who had called out to him, he realized it was Madeleine who was in the year below him and way talkative. She seemed pretty nice, but Jace had always kind of wondered if she was a narc because she was definitely related to not one, but two of the teachers at the school. Not that the Aquila was currently doing anything worth narcing on, but you never knew. Still, he was curious. “What are you meditating about?” Jace called. It seemed like a weird thing to be doing on the Quidditch Pitch, even if there weren’t any team practices today. Madeleine had never struck Jace as the sort of girl who meditated and was a vegan and did...whatever those sorts of people did. Sage smudging? Whatever, Jace had never pegged her for one of those types. In his opinion, that was the sort of thing old people started doing when they realized they weren’t cool anymore. Like religion, but with less effort. But to be fair, he didn’t know Madeleine well at all, and it could be that there was a legit reason she was sitting on the Quidditch Pitch trying to do...communing with nature, or whatever the point of meditation was.

But according to Oliveri, it was more than a flirtation with membership in QOTSA. “The thing that was funny about Dave was he was telling us, ‘Hey man, Foo Fighters is over. I’m in this band with you guys,’ ” bassist Nick Oliveri tells Cincinnati CityBeat. “So of course, being a bass player who loves playing with a drummer who’s like Dave, I’m hearing this, and it’s like candy to my ears. ‘Yeah, man, it’s great. Dave Grohl is in our band’.” But Oliveri says Grohl was under heavy pressure to return to the Foo Fighters. For his part, Grohl says, while he was thoroughly energized by playing with the Queens, he never intended to join the band full time. The story at citybeat.com has since been removed/relocated.

Butler Docket Number: No. 70047-2-1 Case Filing Date: August 18, 2014 Jurisdiction: State Court Court Name: Court of Appeals of the State of Washington, Div. I According to a Washington state appeals court, once a plaintiff in a trade secrets misappropriation case has established sales, the burden then shifts to the defendant to establish what portion of those sales were not attributable to the misappropriated trade secret. The appeals court overturned a jury's finding of no damage from the misappropriation on the grounds that the jury instructions had misstated the law, and in doing so had improperly shifted the burden of proof from the defendant to the plaintiff. The instruction, the appeals court held, was a “misstatement of law” given that “the plaintiff's initial burden is to prove only ‘sales,' not ‘damages from sales,' before the burden shifts to the defendant.” Judge: Judge A.C.J.

Fannie and Freddie responded by lowering their standards even further and backing riskier mortgages, including loans that did not require proof of income, which accounted for half of Fannie and Freddie’s losses in the second quarter of 2008 (Semuels, 2008). At the same time, big investment banks started to withdraw from the mortgage lending business. According to Charles Duhigg, “lawmakers, particularly Democrats, leaned on Fannie and Freddie to buy and hold those troubled debts, hoping that removing them from the system would help the economy recover. After tens of thousands of people were left stranded on bridges or in emergency situations, the federal government and agencies like the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA) refused, for some time, to act or take responsibility for the infrastructure failure.

At least for a time, it was all too easy to blame the victim. For example, the American International Group (AIG) was slapped on the wrist by a House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform for spending $440,000 on a corporate retreat at the St. Regis Monarch Beach resort in Dana Point, California, one week after the Federal Reserve gave it an $85 billion emergency loan (FoxBusiness, 2008). AIG was just one of the many companies that gambled the market on mortgagerelated assets, not to mention corporate fraud. 64 billion settlement with the Justice Department after being caught in bid-rigging schemes, using fraudulent insurance transactions to bolster its earnings, and underreporting its tax liabilities (Morgenson, 2006).

(AP Photo/Charles Dharapak) The Department of Veterans Affairs has announced the partial suspension of debt collections against veterans through the end of the year to provide financial relief during the COVID-19 pandemic. In a July 9 news release, the VA said it was suspending all actions against veterans to the end of 2020 where responsibility for the collection of money owed has passed from the VA to the Treasury Department. Read next: Two Decks Separate Bonhomme Richard Fire from 1M Gallons of Fuel, Admiral Says Under current rules, the Treasury Department has jurisdiction over VA debt collection after the debt has been delinquent for more than 120 days. In a statement, VA Secretary Robert Wilkie said, “Veterans and their families should be focused on their health and safety during the pandemic. VA is taking action to give those with pending debts greater flexibility during these challenging times.” In an April 2 news conference on the administration’s response to COVID-19, President Donald Trump directed the VA to suspend the collection of debts, which are often the result of the VA’s own mistakes in making overpayments on disability ratings or health care co-pays. “We take very good care of our veterans,” Trump said. “At my direction, Secretary Wilkie will use any authority at his disposal to extend deadlines for benefits and suspend debt collections.” According to the office of Rep. Chris Pappas, D-New Hampshire, debt collections by the VA totaled about $1.6 billion in fiscal 2019. Pappas, chairman of the House Veterans Affairs Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations, has introduced legislation that would suspend debt collections by the VA, as well as by the Treasury Department. “I am glad the VA is finally taking steps to provide some much needed relief,” he said in a July 10 statement. “Too many veterans face unexpected debt collection from VA, some due to overpayments that were through no fault of their own.” For questions on debt suspensions involving benefits, the VA advised that veterans should contact the VA Debt Management Center at 1-800-827-0648. For health care debts, the VA said that veterans should contact the Health Resource Center at 1-866-400-1238 or make payments here.

Scream 2 is 20 years old, and it only feels like a few years ago my freshly turned sixteen-year-old self-was doing his best to look eighteen to go and see Ghost Face. To celebrate this milestone anniversary, Cinema Sins have put together an Everything Wrong With video for our entertainment. Quick to cash in on the huge success of the first film, Scream 2 arrived in cinemas just over a year after the original with Wes Craven returning to direct Widely regarded as the best Scream in the series, Wes Craven’s first sequel still holds up two decades on from its release. Well, the clothes don’t, the camera equipment used by the university is dated, and the way human beings communicate has fundamentally changed. Aside from those little things, Scream 2 is a worthy sequel even if some of the film references haven’t aged well. As you’ll see in the above video, there are plenty of things that don’t make sense, and Cinema Sins are here to point out every flaw in their usual cheeky way. The humble slasher movie has been in need of reviving in a meaningful way; the genre is still alive, but we’ve not had a game-changing slasher flick in quite some time. The last time I remember a decent slasher movie was 2007’s Hatchett. You could make a case for what is left to explore in the genre, but Wes Craven managed to turn it on its head two decades ago, so why has it been so long since a memorable slasher film was produced? Hopefully, the new Halloween sequel that sees Jamie Lee Curtis return to her iconic role for the final time will show the youngsters how it’s done.

__label__cc	0.691171	0.308829	Paranal for beginners by Colin Jacobs <colin@coljac.net> I was recently fortunate enough to visit the ESO Paranal observatory for two nights of observing with the XShooter spectrograph. As a member of the Dark Energy Survey (DES) I'm an avid consumer of observational data but, at least until recently, less of a producer, making the two nights in visitor mode at the VLT a first for my PhD. We were awarded the two nights for follow-up of galaxy-galaxy strong lenses we discovered in DES using machine learning, hoping to get redshifts for both lens and source and enable some interesting follow-up science. In September, thanks to Astro3D, the ASA and Swinburne, I travelled to Paranal as CoI with my supervisor, Prof. Karl Glazebrook. The experience was a real adventure from start to finish, but only in the good sense of the word. From the time I was greeted by the Chilean border agent - who responded to the word "Paranal" with the proud exclamation, "The most advanced telescope in the world!" - until I was delivered safe and sound to the airport for my trip home, the experience was smooth. ESO take very good care of visiting astronomers. There was no logistics to manage, since all transport inside Chile is organised by ESO's helpful staff, and all accommodation is at ESO facilities. I spent a week in Chile and never had a need to handle the local currency. The logistics, and potential gotchas, of the trip to Paranal have been well covered elsewhere on this blog (which I strongly encourage anyone travelling to read), but I will add some of my impressions. Firstly as a tourist to the Atacama desert: The landscape was spectacular in many ways. I have never seen such a treeless country, with the Australian red centre seeming positively tropical in comparison. For some hours on the bus to the observatory, I don't believe I spied a single tree. The only ones visible from the mountain are a sorry handful imported and set up at the entrance to the Residencia, where they no doubt cling to life only with the constant care of ESO staff. The dryness is certainly palpable, in the eyes, skin and nose, and on the glasses which steam up when one enters the building housing the pool. An indicator on the wall read 2.7% humidity, which would be low even by the standards of the area. It's for good reason that the Wikipedia entry on the Atacama has a section "Comparison to Mars"! What lives up there? Apart from some tiny bits of scrub there was little to be seen, but on one occasion I did see a soaring vulture. It must eat something, so I enquired about potential prey. Nobody was quite sure but there have been sightings of foxes around the telescope at night, so it just goes to show that even in the world's driest desert, life finds a way. The view from the mountain leaves a strong impression. The unique landscape, an ocean of cloud below in the distance, and the view over to Cerro Armazones where the groundwork is being laid for the E-ELT all make for some thought-provoking viewing. I regret not making time for the "star walk" from the Residencia up to the telescope. It would be good exercise as well as a chance to explore the landscape and, if you like, some true solitude. The Observing As a prelude to gathering our data, we were fortunate enough to be treated to a tour of the VLT. There are also opportunities to tag along at the beginning and end of the night when the checks are made inside the dome; I made sure to stick my nose in there whenever the opportunity presented itself. There's no substitute for seeing the telescope up close; the scale is hard to appreciate from a picture. We were able to walk around inside the dome, and while there I was able to see both XShooter and MUSE on their respective Unit Telescopes. Seeing each UT the weight of a jumbo jet yet so finely balanced it could be moved with the push of a human hand and steered with the precision required for cutting-edge astronomy, inspired thoughts of gratitude. Thank you to the people of the world who funded instruments like this, so we handful of astronomers could gather data from a patch of sky a few arc seconds across! Along with other visitoring astronomers I commend the suggestion of going outside during observations for the spectacular night view. The four LGS lasers on UT4 are clearly visible and make for an awe-inspiring sight. While I was there one of the targets was Io, so the four laser beams appeared to converge right on Jupiter in the sky. Several jokes were made about how the Jovians might interpret such a signal from their notoriously warlike Terran neighbours. I understand that visitor mode may become less common at the VLT, and I don't imagine it will be a common experience for the next generation of astronomers gathering data on thirty-meter class telescopes. In our case it was still a valuable exercise. It is true that the ESO staff, including some very helpful support astronomers, leave little room for error by a visiting astronomer. The ESO phase 2 tool is very good, and we were able to quite easily generate scripts to generate observing block files and import them into the tool where we, and the ESO astronomers, could see our targets were VLT-ready. Making on the fly changes was not difficult, and sending a target over to the queue for observation was a click of a button. On the night we were able to tell in almost real time that we could get clear redshifts for our targets and so reduce integration times. Our observing strategies on the night changed significantly; in some cases we switched between two prepared plans of a single slit across lens and source versus two slit positions. In the end we were able to observe more targets than originally expected due to the quality of the data and the ease of adjusting our plans. Future observations have now been finely calibrated and we can submit service mode proposals with greater confidence that the integration times will be adequate. Visitor mode, of course, also has its risks. We lost a few hours on the first night due to cloud. The second night, a crash of the Telescope Control System required a bit of a scramble and the rousing of a few engineers, but without a clear indication from the logs of the cause of the issue, a restart was attempted. From then on we had no problems, with the loss of only an hour. In addition to the other tips and tidbits I've seen, I'd add: The ESO bus at Antofagasta airport is slightly out of view of the terminal, but asking anyone for ESO will get you a point in right direction. ESO invoiced us for the costs of my travel in Chile two months after the trip. It may be the driest place on earth but don't forget to bring swimming gear as it's a great way to relax and absorb some moisture - see below.

Whether in this day and age you could muster a 2/3 majority in Congress, even if for argument’s sake Boebert shot a Democratic member, seems to be an open question. I suspect there’d be a lot of victim blaming and talk of reconciliation rather than punishment from the GOP. Besides, rules about rule following are for Plebs, not important people and Magats. The parallels with the rise of the Nazis are quite striking: particularly in Trump’s simple propaganda message of ‘make America great again.’ This plays right to the ego of his every supporter. Each of them can have a share in that ‘greatness.’ The T-shirt slogan ‘God, guns and Trump’ says it all, really. Could be rephrased as ‘God, guns and greatness.’ Or ‘Faith and Firepower for Fuckwits.’ (Excuse my language. I must have got a bit carried away.) Papito Expulsion would be an insufficient remedy anyway. She should be prosecuted for sedition. Then not only is she expelled, but forever barred from public office. iknklast Papito, I think everyone of the Senators who voted to overthrow a legitimate election in favor of a dictator should be prosecuted for, and convicted of, sedition. Especially those who voted after the insurrection. For those who changed their mind while hunkered down behind barricades could be given a year off their sentence, maybe, for at least having a tiny amount of sense left, and a desire not to participate in the violent overthrow of the country, only in the quasi-legal overthrow. I dislike the Electoral College, and I think a case can be made for sedition charges against a bunch of people, but I am not in favor of basing it on which way people voted. It was a legitimate action of a normal government process. “Vote this way or be prosecuted for sedition” seems less than free. There has to be more to it. Sackbut, I’m not in favor of prosecuting people for how they vote, either, but in this case, they voted for an overthrow of a legitimate election even after an armed mob tried to seize the government by force. Some of them appeared to cheer the mob on, and a few even helped incite the mob. I don’t think any of this was unknown by those who voted not to certify the election. In this case, they appear to have been acting in a manner designed to overthrow the will of the voters, and destroy democracy by force. Ophelia Benson I think it probably wouldn’t be possible to prosecute legislators for doing what they were legally allowed to do as part of the official process of certifying an election. Vox reported: In a vote Wednesday evening, six Republicans in the Senate and 121 in the House backed objections to certifying Arizona’s electoral outcome, while seven Senate Republicans and 138 House Republicans supported an objection to certifying Pennsylvania’s electoral outcome. (We’ve included a full list at the end of this article.) It was a somewhat surprising result following the violence and destruction by President Donald Trump’s supporters at the Capitol earlier that day, which prompted a number of Republicans to drop their previous challenges. If there is solid evidence that they abetted the attack I think they should be expelled, but I think their votes on certification were legal, however loathsome. Oh, I know that. I just need to vent. The attacks, and the possible rioting next week, have really disturbed me (as they have most), and I guess I’m just prone to hyperbole when I get disturbed. Same here, and I get more disturbed every day instead of less, because it keeps becoming clearer that a lot of these fascist plotters are INSIDE the fucking house.

Mayor Alan Long said on CNN Sunday that residents are worried whether the U.S. Border Patrol could safely house the immigrants — including many children — at its Murrieta facility. “We’re a very small town here in Murietta, and all the sudden we have a national problem at our doorstep,” Long told CNN. “We had some local residents with some legitimate concerns. I think most of the angry people you saw were from out of town.” Long also pushed back against criticism that his town is getting over the protests. lRelated Murrieta protests return immigration issue to forefront of state politics See all related “What I’m telling you right now, if those buses were to arrive here tomorrow, and enter the Border Patrol facility, you would see what Murrieta is known for. And that is a caring, compassionate community,” he said. Long added: “This is a national problem, and the world showed up on our doorsteps. We didn’t have a lot of answers early on, and there were some legitimate concerns, health concerns and humane concerns. People were concerned about the people, the immigrants coming here. Would they have proper facilities? Who is going to take care of them? How long is this going to be for? Five people were arrested Friday during protests.

(Michael Robinson Chavez / Los Angeles Times) A charter plane carrying immigrants who entered the country illegally arrived at San Diego’s Lindbergh Field on Friday evening. Three U.S. Homeland Security Department buses arrived a few minutes later, trailed by numerous law enforcement vehicles. Federal officials had said earlier in the week that 140 immigrants detained while crossing the border into Texas would arrive Friday. But since a blockade by protesters forced three busloads of migrants to turn around Tuesday in Murrieta, officials have declined to provide information about the movement of the immigrants. According to a law enforcement source, the latest group to arrive in California was taken to a Border Patrol facility in San Ysidro for processing. Hundreds of people gathered on the road to the Murrieta processing center, anticipating another convoy of vehicles containing immigrants. The number of protesters swelled Friday despite the summer heat, the Fourth of July holiday and a police strategy that mostly kept the groups apart and away from the processing center. In a reversal from earlier in the week, there were substantially more demonstrators on the immigration-rights side. Authorities kept the road to the center clear and the protesters in check, although scuffles did break out. Murrieta police arrested five people for obstructing officers during an afternoon altercation. One other person was arrested earlier in the day. The group protesting the transfer of the immigrants to California waved American flags and chanted “USA,” while across the street demonstrators responded with, “Shame on you!” Copyright © 2014, Los Angeles Times Source Article from http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-murrieta-immigrant-protests-mayor-defends-his-towns-actions-20140706-story.html?track=rss http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-murrieta-immigrant-protests-mayor-defends-his-towns-actions-20140706-story.html?track=rss	cc/2021-04/en_middle_0036.json.gz/line211

Picking up where Richard Sommers’ Richmond Redeemed leaves off, Richmond Must Fall makes an excellent companion volume to that earlier book. Book Summary/Review: Book Review: Richmond Must Fall: The Richmond-Petersburg Campaign, October 1864 Drew Wagenhoffer’s Review: Richmond Must Fall (Civil War Books and Authors) BTC Siege of Petersburg Book Notes: BTC Siege of Petersburg Book Sources: Publisher Info: A study of Grant’s and Lee’s battles in the weeks before the 1864 election In the fall of 1864, the Civil War’s outcome rested largely on Abraham Lincoln’s success in the upcoming presidential election. As the contest approached, cautious optimism buoyed the President’s supporters in the wake of Union victories at Atlanta and in the Shenandoah Valley. With all eyes on the upcoming election, Robert E. Lee and Ulysses S. Grant conducted a series of large-scale military operations outside Richmond and Petersburg, which have, until now, received little attention. In Richmond Must Fall, Hampton Newsome examines these October battles in unprecedented scope and detail. The narrative begins with one of Lee’s last offensive operations of the war at the Darbytown Road on October 7, 1864, and ends with Grant’s major offensive on October 27 to seize the South Side Railroad, the last open rail line into the Confederate stronghold at Petersburg. The offensive would spark sharp fighting at Burgess Mill south of Petersburg and on the Williamsburg Road east of Richmond. The October 1864 operations offer important insights into the personalities and command styles of Lee and Grant, including Lee’s penchant for audacity and overwhelming thirst to strike a blow against his opponent even against bitter odds and Grant’s willingness to shoulder heavy responsibility in the face of great risk. The narrative explores the relationships within the high command of both armies, including Grant’s sometimes strained partnership with the cautious George Meade. It also illustrates Grant’s efforts to guide the strong-willed political general Ben- jamin F. Butler, whose steadfast support for African American troops would spark a prisoner controversy that would bring the war’s underlying issues of slavery and race into bold relief. For the Confederates, the month’s operations illustrate Lee’s necessary reliance on his key combat commanders at Petersburg, including the formidable William Mahone. Drawing on an array of original sources, Newsome focuses on the October battles themselves, examining the plans for the operations, the decisions made by commanders on the battlefield, and the soldiers’ view from the ground. At the same time, he places these military actions in the larger political context of the fall of 1864. With the election looming, neither side could afford a defeat at Richmond or Petersburg. Nevertheless, Grant and Lee were will- ing to take significant risks to seek great advantage. These military events set the groundwork for operations that would close the war in Virginia several months later.

Rounding down to a final 30 songs is always difficult and among the acts in the initial shortlist were ADAM IS A GIRL, BRIAN ENO, DELERIUM, EMIKA, KALEIDA, LADYHAWKE, METROLAND, PRESENCE OF MIND, REIN, FIFI RONG, SPRAY, WHITE LIES and the now disbanded ANALOG ANGEL. After much deliberation and with a restriction of one song per artist moniker, here are The Electricity Club’s 30 Songs of 2016 in alphabetical order… APOPTYGMA BERZERK Rhein Klang Futurepop veteran Stephan Groth certainly put his head on the line releasing an instrumental Sci-Fi concept album as an APOPTYGMA BERZERK long player. But with influences like KRAFTWERK, TANGERINE DREAM and JEAN-MICHEL JARRE, ‘Exit Popularity Contest’ was an undoubted artistic success and perhaps what ‘MG’ should have sounded like. Full of Groth’s electronic lifeblood, ‘Rhein Klang’ was a wonderful oscillating slice of synth motorik in tribute to NEU! Available on the album ‘Exit Popularity Contest’ via Hard: Drive http://www.theapboffice.com/ JOHAN BAECKSTROM Like Before JOHAN BAECKSTRÖM has been involved in electronic music for several decades, but it wasn’t until 1994 that he gained recognition as part of DAILY PLANET with vocalist Jarmo Ollila. His first album ‘Like Before’ in 2015 drew favourable comparisons to Vince Clarke. A competent vocalist himself, the long player’s title song got a standalone release in 2016 and instantly recalled the glory days of ERASURE with its precise, yet emotive synthpop with a message to “swim the oceans like before”. Available on the album ‘Like Before’ via Progress Productions https://www.facebook.com/bstrommusic/ BEYOND THE WIZARD’S SLEEVE Diagram Girl Possibly one of the songs of 2016, BEYOND THE WIZARDS SLEEVE’s ‘Diagram Girl’ was the work of Erol Alkan and Richard Norris, formally of THE GRID. Featuring the unisex vocals of HANNAH PEEL, a deeper pitch shift provided a psychedelic out-of-this-world feel which bizarrely fitted in alongside the songstress’ dreamily breathy tones. Meanwhile the pulsing electronic soundtrack had surreal echoes of OMD, in particular their lesser known minor hit ‘Secret’. Available on the album ‘The Soft Bounce’ via Phantasy Sound https://www.facebook.com/beyondthewizardssleeve/ BLACK NEEDLE NOISE featuring KENDRA FROST Warning Sign It can be tricky keeping up with the prolific studio legend John Fryer. Following the critical success of his projects MURICIDAE and SILVER GHOST SHIMMER, BLACK NEEDLE NOISE employed a flexible lead vocal policy and did away with the idea of albums or EPs, focussing on just single songs. Magically breathy, ‘Warning Sign’ employed the soaring vocals of Kendra Frost from KITE BASE against a spacious backdrop of synths, beats and guitars for a brooding sonic amalgam. Available as a download single via https://blackneedlenoise.bandcamp.com/ https://www.facebook.com/BlackNeedleNoise/ https://www.facebook.com/kitebasemusic/ CIRCUIT3 Hundred Hands With the sort of mighty Linn Drum engine room that would make Martyn Ware proud and punctuated with some rugged lead synth, ‘Hundred Hands’ was the best track on CIRCUIT3’s debut album. The work of Dublin based musician Peter Fitzpatrick, he even dropped in hints of KRAFTWERK’s ‘Showroom Dummies’ by way of a musical tribute. The parent album ‘siliconchipsuperstar’ was classic styled synthpop made by someone weaned on classic synthpop. Available on the album ‘siliconchipsuperstar’ via https://circuit3.bandcamp.com/ http://www.circuit3.com/ RUSTY EGAN PRESENTS Thank You The elegiac ‘Thank You’ utilised some ‘Endless Endless’ vocodered stylings over layers of sweeping synthetic strings and a gentle metronomic pulse. A list of RUSTY EGAN’s musical heroes and associated beneficiaries in no particular order, this tone poem was a touching acknowledgement of electronic music’s marvellous history. A simple yet highly effective idea, the beauty is in its realisation. Appropriately, it ends with a touchingly poignant “VISAGE… thank you”. Available on the album ‘Welcome To The Dancefloor’ via Black Mosaic from http://www.pledgemusic.com/projects/rusty-egan-welcome-to-the-dancefloor http://rustyegan.net/ JOHN FOXX & THE MATHS A Man & A Woman A previously unreleased song for a compilation of Foxx’s song based work in the new millennium, ‘A Man & A Woman’ was a surprise in that it was less rigid than previous JOHN FOXX & THE MATHS recordings. Featuring some enchanting whispers from the seemingly ubiquitous HANNAH PEEL, it was an interesting departure that even featured some subtle acoustic guitar flourishes. Foxx’s work is still under-appreciated, so for many ‘21st Century: A Man, A Woman And A City’ provided an opportunity to catch up. Available on the album ’21st Century: A Man, A Woman And A City’ via Metamatic Records http://www.metamatic.com/ ANI GLASS Y Ddawns Welsh songstress ANI GLASS served her apprenticeship with girl groups GENIE QUEEN and THE PIPETTES and worked with Andy McCluskey and Martin Rushent respectively along the way. ‘Y Ddawns’ (‘The Dance’) was a wonderfully exhilarating pop art adventure. Swathed in synths and driven by a metronomic beat, it was a declaration of hope, deeply voiced in the verse with a gorgeous soaring resonance in the chorus, about “finding solace and meaning in music, dance, art and culture”. ‘Y Ddawns’ is available as a download single from https://aniglass.bandcamp.com/ https://www.facebook.com/aniglasscymru/ THE HEARING Kabeldon Helsinki-based Ringa Manner has been making crystalline sine waves as THE HEARING. Her second album ‘Adrian’ boasted the sub-eight minute epic ‘Kabeldon’. A outstanding electronic work with an affinity to Norwegian songstress SUSANNE SUNDFØR, there were also bows to DAVID BOWIE’s ‘I’m Deranged’ when the mad cascading piano kicked in alongside the frantic drum ‘n’ bass and steadily building cacophony of noise. Then, when it appeared all over, the song mutated into an eloquent Nordic dubstep ballad! Available on the album ‘Adrian’ via Solina Records https://www.facebook.com/Ringasofi/ I AM SNOW ANGEL Losing Face The project of Julie Kathryn, the haunting tension of ‘Losing Face’ accentuates a variety of electronic and organic colours. A muted chop’ n’ chuck provides the percussive backbone while an eerie soundscape is steadily configured as Kathryn succumbs to lust. “You’re different when you’re on top of me… how I hate the state I’m in” she paradoxically reflects, as bubbling detuned synth swirls and acoustic guitar penetrate the foreboding atmosphere in the vein of ‘Felt Mountain’ era GOLDFRAPP. Available on the EP ‘Desert’ via I Am Snow Angel http://iamsnowangel.com/ JEAN-MICHEL JARRE & CYNDI LAUPER Swipe To The Right After decades of composing lengthy synth symphonies, there must have been times when the France maestro must have just wanted to do a four minute pop tune. This JEAN-MICHEL JARRE managed in a quirky collaboration with Brooklyn’s CYNDI LAUPER. No stranger to electronic forms, particularly with her under rated ‘Bring Ya To The Brink’ album of 2007, ‘Swipe To The Right’ had big bass riffs galore for a great poptastic exploration, while reflecting on the use of Tinder in modern relationships. Available on the album ‘Electronica 2: The Heart Of Noise’ via Columbia / Sony Music http://jeanmicheljarre.com/ http://www.cyndilauper.com/ KID MOXIE Still High KID MOXIE is Elena Charbila, the Greek born singer and actress who likes to make music with friends. Working best in collaboration, her well-received album ‘1888’ showed she had blossomed and displayed an inventive maturity following the gutter pop of her early releases. From her best body of work yet in ‘Perfect Shadow’, the seductive ‘Still High’ was gloriously cinematic synthpop with a touch of maiden iciness that affirmed this artistic progression. Available on the mini-album ‘Perfect Shadow’ is via West One Music Group http://www.facebook.com/kidmoxie LIEBE The Box One-time label mates of MARSHEAUX, LIEBE are the electro disco duo comprising of George Begas and Dimos Zachariadis who could be considered the Greek PET SHOP BOYS. Sitting on that difficult bridge between pastiche and post-modern, their romantic disco friendly sound mines Europop while adding the vocal drawl of Jarvis Cocker. The magnificent JEAN-MICHEL JARRE goes Italo disco of ’The Box’ was the highlight of their wonderfully escapist pop album ‘Revolution Of Love’. Available on the album ‘Revolution Of Love’ via Emerald & Doreen Recordings http://www.liebe.gr MARSHEAUX Burning Recorded in London and Athens, a new approach saw MARSHEAUX’s trademark wispiness blended in with a subtle tone of aggression. The opening song on ‘Ath.Lon’, the album title of which was derived from the cities of Athens and London, ‘Burning’ was a harsh but sexy slice of synth expressionism. While clearly referencing darker electronica forms with its hypnotising percussive motif, it crucially maintained the essence of a good tune. Available on the album ‘Ath.Lon’ via Undo Records http://www.marsheaux.com/ MESH The Fixer With their new album ‘Looking Skyward’, MESH alleviated any fears that they might not be able to sustain the artistic momentum seeded by 2013’s ‘Automation Baby’. Despite the lyrically negative nature of ‘The Fixer’, a driving bass triplet attached to a solid four-to-the-floor beat and an anthemic topline shed a light of optimism amongst the gloom. MESH have firmly carved their own niche and any disillusioned DEPECHE MODE fans should consider joining the fold immediately… Available on the album ‘Looking Skyward’ via Dependent Records http://www.mesh.co.uk/ METROLAND Man / Machine In August 2015, METROLAND’s sound engineer and close friend Louis Zachert, aka Passenger L, passed away. The Brussels based duo recorded ‘Things Will Never Sound The Same Again’, a musical eulogy created from scratch as their way of paying homage to their fellow passenger. The uplifting ’Music / Machine’ with its Jarre-esque melodies started as a METROLAND remix of MUSICOCOON, a project involving Louis and his friend Philippe Malemprée. Kindly donated, its presence is in honour of Louis as the last piece of music he ever worked on. Available on the album on the album ‘Things Will Never Sound The Same Again’ via Alfa Matrix http://www.metrolandmusic.com/ NIGHT CLUB Pray Buoyed by the acclaim of their EP trilogy and their power as a live act, NIGHT CLUB experimented with a more aggressive synth rock disco sound for their debut long player ‘Requiem For Romance’. Playing around with a range of unsettling vocal pitch shifts and religious imagery for the sinister overtones of ‘Pray’, Emily Kavanaugh and Mark Brooks have more than substantiated their position as one of North America’s best independent electronic pop duos. Available on the album ‘Requiem For Romance’ via Gato Blanco from http://nightclubband.com/album/requiem-for-romance http://nightclubband.com/ HANNAH PEEL All That Matters It’s been a busy year for HANNAH PEEL; layered with staccato voice samples and uplifting bursts of symphonic strings, the driving arpeggio laden ‘All That Matters’ was her calling card, not just as her most synthpop offering yet but also as a mantra to live in the moment. The opening track of her second album ‘Awake But Always Dreaming’, her very personal musical journey themed around memory and the effects of dementia was a startling artistic triumph. Available on the album ‘Awake But Always Dreaming’ My Own Pleasure http://www.hannahpeel.com PET SHOP BOYS The Dictator Decides Never mind their age, PET SHOP BOYS are still ‘The Pop Kids’ and ‘Twenty-something’ ones at that. But on the moodier ‘The Dictator Decides’, there comes one of those politically laced introspective numbers in the vein of ‘My October Symphony’ and ‘Don Juan’ that Tennant and Lowe always do so well. As Tennant deadpans “if you get rid of me, we can all be free”, the song provides an amusing surreal narrative of a tyrannical politician bored of his outright power and wanting to live a normal life. Available on the album ‘Super’ via x2 http://www.petshopboys.co.uk/ PSYCHE Ring The Bells From the Cold War Night Life curated ‘Heresy: A Tribute To Rational Youth’, one of the highlights from the collection is PSYCHE’s take on ‘Ring The Bells’ from appropriately, RATIONAL YOUTH’s ‘Cold War Night Life’ debut. The clattering 808 beat and elegantly haunting sweeps combined with Darrin Huss’ mournful vocal provide an atmospheric reworking that betters the original and reflects the decades long kinship between RATIONAL YOUTH and PSYCHE. Available on the album ‘Heresy: A Tribute To Rational Youth’ (V/A) via Cold War Night Life from http://www.stormingthebase.com/various-heresy-a-tribute-to-rational-youth-3lp-vinyl-2cd/ http://www.psyche-hq.de/ SARAH P. I’d Go Greek electropop goddess SARAH P. started her music career as the frontwoman of KEEP SHELLY IN ATHENS. With ‘I’d Go’ she said: “Most of the people do not get that this song is not as happy as it sounds at a first listen”. In her own words she confesses: “I’m a childish woman and nobody can stop me from being one” and adds “If there’s anything I stand for with all my heart is the ‘Go be you’ motto!” – her full length debut long player ‘Who Am I?’ is eagerly awaited. Available on the mini-album ‘Free’ via EraseRestart http://sarahpofficial.com/ SILENT WAVE War Enigmatic Gothenburg electronic trio SILENT WAVE possess the hauntronica hallmarks of fellow Swedes THE KNIFE. ‘War’ is a reminder of how that sibling duo once combined tunes with their experimentation. With a suitably dark Nordic vibe, it could easily have come off ‘Silent Shout’ and while the template is undoubtedly derivative, ‘War’ is extremely well executed. Available on the download single ‘War’ via Silence Records https://www.facebook.com/silentwaveofficial/ STARCLUSTER & MARC ALMOND To Have & Have Not With his career spanning 10 CD box set ‘Trials Of Eyeliner: Anthology 1979-2016’, the last thing anyone expected from MARC ALMOND this year was an electronic pop album. Almond first recorded with Anglo German production duo STARCLUSTER in 2008. A great cover version, ‘To Have & Have Not’ was originally recorded by RONNY and retains the stern manner of the former Parisian model, while giving this slice of modern Weimar Cabaret a new lease of life. Available on the album ‘Silver City Ride’ via Closing the Circle / Private Records http://www.marcalmond.co.uk/ TINY MAGNETIC PETS Not Giving In An appearance at the 2015 ELECTRI_CITY_CONFERENCE in Düsseldorf reinforced TINY MAGNETIC PETS’ reputation as an intriguing live act by winning over figures such as Rusty Egan and Andy McCluskey. The soulful ‘Not Giving In’ makes the most of Paula Gilmer’s enticingly wispy voice. With detuned pulses contrasting the digital chimes and staccato voice samples, an unusual stuttering reggae inflected beat enhances the atmosphere. Available on the EP ‘The NATO Alphabet’ via https://tinymagneticpets.bandcamp.com/ https://www.facebook.com/Tiny-Magnetic-Pets-69597715797/ TRAIN TO SPAIN Believe In Love Highly exuberant and featuring a poptastic four chord progression, ‘Believe In Love’ was TRAIN TO SPAIN’s first recording to feature producer Lars Netzel aka NOT LARS as a full-time member. It developed on the promise of songs like ‘Passion’ from their debut album ‘What it’s All About’ released in 2015 and significantly gave more space within Jonas Rasmusson’s classic synthpop framework for lead singer Helena Wigeborn to exude her charm in. But it seems TRAIN TO SPAIN are back to a duo again… Available on the download single ‘Believe In Love’ via Subculture Records http://www.traintospain.se/ TRENTEMØLLER River In Me ‘River In Me’ was an unusual TRENTEMØLLER recording in that Jehnny Beth from SAVAGES actually came to his home studio in Copenhagen to lay down her vocals. The end result possessed a Gothic intensity, yet was vibrant and melodic with Beth’s Siouxsie-like tones complimenting the hybrid synth laced soundscape. While some complained that ‘River In Me’ was not as dark as the Dane’s previous work, it was his most immediate offering yet with a fine balance of accessibility and mood. Available on the album ‘Fixion’ via In My Room http://www.anderstrentemoller.com/ VILE ELECTRODES The Vanished Past It’s the avant pop approach reminiscent of early OMD that sets VILE ELECTRODES apart from and makes them so captivating. ‘The Vanished Past’ is a potent successor to the drama of ‘Deep Red’, complete with a mighty drum cacophony à la OMD’s ‘Navigation’. Bleak and wonderful, “not everything is as it seems” as a forlorn stranger joins in. As the seven minute adventure unfolds like a lost OMD epic, that stranger begins to sound like a certain George Andrew McCluskey! Available on the album ‘In The Shadows Of Monuments’ via http://vileelectrodes.bigcartel.com/ http://www.vileelectrodes.com/ VILLA NAH Stranger From their superb second album ‘Ultima’, ‘Stranger’ was a brilliant return for VILLA NAH after a five year absence. Front man Juho Paalosmaa said: “‘Stranger’ is a play on words; how somebody you’ve known can turn stranger over the span of time… and end up as a complete stranger in the process. I don’t think it’s a track I would’ve written as a 20 year old. It requires some years of age and experience to really understand how time can change people, including yourself.” Available on the album ‘Ultima’ via Solina Records https://www.facebook.com/villanah/ WRANGLER Stupid If CABARET VOLTAIRE had hijacked Compass Point Studios in The Bahamas while TALKING HEADS were recording ‘Speaking In Tongues’, the end result might have ended up sounding a bit like this. ‘Stupid’ sees Stephen Mallinder in warped falsetto mode over a hypnotic sequence of menacing synths from Benge and Phil Winter. The track’s rhythmic heart creates an almost robotic, yet electro-funk feel for one of the undoubted highlights on WRANGLER‘s ‘White Glue’ album. Available on the album ‘White Glue’ via MemeTune https://www.facebook.com/mallinderbengewinter/ YELLO Electrified II Despite 37 years of making music together, the distinctive sound of YELLO remains intriguing and distinctly European and the new album ‘Toy’ delighted fans. On the superb ‘Electrified II’ (the original version appeared on Boris Blank’s boxed set of the same name), Dieter Meier has his mind blown by the velvet voice of Malia. As she exclaims “Life’s a bitch and I’m no witch”, this could be Shirley Bassey indulging in some seductive energetic electro-cabaret.

__label__wiki	0.720753	0.720753	David Forsmark Home \| Bio \| Mobile Site biography articles blog books mailing list Now They Call Me Infidel Why I Renounced Jihad for America, Israel, and the War on Terror by Nonie Darwish Sentinel, $23.95, 258 pp. Reviewed by David Forsmark FrontPageMagazine.com http://www.davidforsmark.com/4530/now-they-call-me-infidel Nonie Darwish grew up in a culture in which anti-Semitism was the order of the day by government edict and social and religious custom. Every problem her large Middle Eastern country had was blamed on tiny Israel. Government schools taught that martyrdom in jihad against the Jews was the pinnacle of personal glory. If someone talked about current events or predictions of the future, "In Shallah" was as required a response as "Heil Hitler" was in another time and place. Men practiced polygamy while exercising total control over their wives and daughters — in fact, male strangers had the right to be cultural enforcers of women's actions. Women could be killed for "improper" actions, or shunned over a stray word or rumor. So in what stifling environment was Darwish raised? Afghanistan under the Taliban? Ayatollah-ruled Iran? No, perhaps the most sobering fact of Now They Call Me Infidel, Darwish's compelling memoir, is that she grew up in Egypt -- a country considered the harbinger of the new, progressive, secular Arab state. Her autobiographical account is one of the bravest books I have ever read. Darwish takes an unsparing look at the way the "Religion of Peace" is practiced in the real world — both in Muslim countries and in the West. Past political defectors to the West could reveal embarrassing and damaging truths about their homeland with relative impunity -- think Solzhenitsyn, nestled in exile in the woods of Vermont, lashing at the Soviet system -- but Darwish is in a far more precarious situation. She is criticizing a culture where fundamentalist clerics have issued fatwahs calling for the death of people who have been far less critical of Islam than she is. She has also risked a large part of her social and familial ties with her outspoken and principled stand. The daughter of an Egyptian military officer assigned to the Gaza Strip in the 1950s, Darwish was constantly told in school that Israel was the cause of all her people's problems. Indeed, when she was 8, Israeli agents killed her father; a martyrdom orphan, she and the rest of her family moved back to Cairo. In Cairo, Nonie was surprised to hear that Jews were the cause of all the problems in the rest of Egypt, too. Even as a young child who'd lost a father to the enemy, she wondered how such a large and populous land could be bullied by tiny Israel. Her world expanded further when her mother scraped the means together to send Nonie and her sisters to a Catholic school. This was a time when Gamal Abdel Nasser, who helped depose Egypt's King Farouk in 1952 and became the country's revolutionary ruler two years later, was cozying up to Moscow and trying to crush the Muslim Brotherhood. But the seeds of radical Islam were being sown in the schools, the mosques, even in the songs on the radio. "No Arab could avoid the culture of jihad," Darwish writes. "Jihad is not some esoteric concept…It is a religious holy war against infidels … a fight for Allah's cause to promote Islamic domination in the world." The culture of jihad and how Darwish personally experienced it is a major theme in her book. She demolishes absolutely the media-driven notion put out by disingenuous Islamic scholars that "jihad" really means the internal struggle a Muslim wages to attain spiritual growth. Although Darwish spent 30 years in a Muslim country and 50-some years on this earth, she writes she never heard that palatable-to-Western-ears definition of jihad before Sept. 11, 2001. Perhaps the best part of Now They Call Me Infidel is Darwish's unsparing examination of marriage and family dynamics in Muslim countries. While the oppression of women is a common charge against Islam, Darwish looks at the effect this poisonous dynamic also has on men and society as a whole. One of the first questions Westerners might ponder when thinking about radical Islam is: Where do they get all these suicide bombers? The Left would have us believe that the urchins of the Arab street are so enraged by the invasion of Iraq and George W. Bush that they are willing to blow themselves to bits over it. Darwish explains the cause is far deeper than current politics—or even a lifetime of indoctrination into the ideology of jihad. She finds the alienation of many young men begins in the attitudes of the traditional Muslim family. She points to two ancient traditions that persist in the modern Muslim world that hinder normal family attachments and increase alienation in young men. The first is polygamy, which brings competition and insecurity to families, while the other is the dowry. Under Sharia law, she writes, men are allowed up to four wives. There are also three kinds of marriages: a primary publicly recorded marriage; a private — or urfi — marriage which is typically how second marriages are conducted; and a mutaa "pleasure marriage" which is essentially prostitution with the payment referred to as a dowry. Meanwhile, in a society where a wife or daughter's "honor" affects how the man is viewed in his community, a long series of taboos are enforced to keep absolute control over the women. The only concession given to women is that they are allowed to enter a marriage with their own property — the dowry — which the possibility of polygamy makes a practical necessity, but adds to the fracturing of the marriage bond. This makes marriage an uneasy alliance between families, Darwish says, leading to distrust and competition and depriving many children of a loving environment. Polygamy also makes being the urfi wife of an older, well-to-do man a more attractive option for many young women than taking a chance on a poor younger man — of which there are plenty in the economic backwaters of the Muslim world, most of them unable to afford a dowry that marriage requires, anyway. "You see them, the restless angry throngs of young men who make up the seething Arab Street," Darwish explains. While a couple with limited means can work together to escape poverty in Western society, this becomes very tough for a poor man living under Sharia law. The second half of Now They Call Me Infidel could have been subtitled, The Search for the Moderate Muslim. Two things surprised Darwish when she immigrated to the United States at the age of 30. First, the ease at which she was able to find a job — with a kindly Jewish business owner, no less —and the second, the degree to which radicals control American mosques. Even though Muslim immigrant communities to the U.S. are well off enough to fund their own mosque and imams, most accept Saudi "generosity" in subsidizing their mosques. "The agenda of these radical American mosques… was to keep American Muslims in line, Islamize America and spread a radical Wahabi sect of Islam that even Egyptians find too extreme." Darwish decided to follow her friends' advice and practice her religion in private. But it is not only in religious settings that American Muslims are being radicalized, Darwish contends. The modern American campus might seem the last place this most illiberal of philosophies could flourish, but a strange brew of anti-American radicalism, multiculturalist identity politics and anti-Semitism has given radical Islam a foothold there. Call it burka chic. Darwish is particularly frustrated by "defiant young Muslim women… who instead of feeling gratitude to the culture that liberated them, they use their head cover or veil as a form of jihad against all that America stands for…" She points out that "Most of them were born in the United States and have never lived under the Taliban, Iranian or Saudi Sharia law, and look at their long lost heritage with naïve nostalgia and pride." Most chilling is Darwish's account of trying to marshal forces to speak out against terrorists after Sept. 11, 2001. Having returned to America the day before the attacks from a trip to Egypt where she was shocked at the political climate (furthered, she argues, by CNN's overseas coverage) Darwish had already decided on a more activist role. The cold shoulder was among the more polite responses she received to her calls to her "moderate" friends. More often, she was called a traitor or regaled with conspiracy theories about the Zionists' responsibility for the 9-11 attacks. She was forced to conclude that "Radical Islam has declared war on America and on the West, and the majority of Muslims either support or make excuses for terrorism." Darwish went on the lecture circuit on her own, eventually becoming a powerful voice not only in defense of America, but calling for Arab countries to let Israel live in peace, as well. Nonie Darwish was never a radical, so her autobiography does not have the strong story arc of such classics as Whittaker Chambers' Witness.

California telling the feds to shove it… again. » Prison Abuse I haven’t talked much about this subject — it’s pretty damned depressing — but there’s no doubt that the prison abuse story is a critical one. And one important part of this story must be told — that prison abuses happen right here at home. And as outraged as we properly are about prison abuse in Iraq, we must also be outraged that millions of non-violent drug offenders are sent to prison under unjust laws, there to be “reformed” through the methods of abuse and rape. But I can’t say it as well as others can, so read on… Look Higher, Deeper than Prison Guards (by John Ed Pearce, Lexington Herald-Leader): The public echoes what Bush repeatedly prates: that this incident does not reflect the goodness of Americans, that we are not that kind of people, that we would never permit it on our own. The untidy truth is that we do. For the past decade, we have been building prisons as fast as we could afford and pouring into them a flood of Americans, many of whom are treated as brutally as any Iraqi. Thanks to a hysterical fear of crime (the rate of which has, incidentally, been falling for years) and the self-righteous fervor in Congress and state legislatures for longer sentences for more crimes, more than 2 million Americans are now imprisoned, not counting those in small jails. Our per-capita incarceration rate is now higher than that of any nominally civilized nation. And more than a quarter million of those incarcerated are guilty of violating nothing more than our cruel, illogical and ineffective drug laws. The brutalities and indecencies heaped upon these marginal miscreants — by overworked, ill-trained and often sadistic guards, or by fellow prisoners who frequently rule prison life — defy description. Their cost in money, lives and standards of decency are enormous. Yet the general public pays a fraction of the attention to these conditions that they give to the bloody mess in Iraq. We will benefit as a nation and a people if our revulsion at the horrors in Iraqi prisons spur us to notice the beam in our own eye. [emphasis added] “bullet” An ugly prison record: Given the Way It Treats Its Own Inmates, America Shouldn’t Be Shocked at the Abuse of Iraqis (by Christopher Reed in the Toronto Star): … A prisoner dumped in scalding water so his skin peeled off like old varnish; prisoners left naked outside in rainy and bitter weather for days; multiple beatings and rapes; several unexplained deaths.� In Corcoran prison, California, guards held their own Roman gladiator games with prisoners pitted against each other in fights to the near death.� A disliked and defenceless prisoner was placed in the same cell as the biggest and baddest sex criminal — known as the Booty Bandit – — to be duly raped to the amusement of the prisoner’s supposed guardians.� Pelican Bay is such a fearful place, with prisoners kept under perpetual scrutiny while unable to see any other human being, a psychiatrist told a court that many were going insane.� A federal judge finally ordered reforms, as did another over Corcoran, but there is little evidence that either have become proper places even to house the worst.� Similar reports surface across America.� Texas is especially bad.� Significantly, private, for-profit prisons have some of the worst records.�… Amnesty International reported in 1999 that male guards in several U.S.� states routinely raped female prisoners.� “bullet” Abuse also in US Prisons, Experts Say by Fox Butterfield, The New York Times Physical and sexual abuse of prisoners, similar to what has been uncovered in Iraq, takes place in American prisons with little public knowledge or concern, according to corrections officials, inmates and human rights advocates.� In Pennsylvania and some other states, inmates are routinely stripped in front of other inmates before being moved to a new prison or a new unit within their prison.� In Arizona, male inmates at the Maricopa County jail in Phoenix are made to wear women’s pink underwear as a form of humiliation.� At Virginia’s Wallens Ridge maximum security prison, new inmates have reported being forced to wear black hoods, in theory to keep them from spitting on guards, and said they were often beaten and cursed at by guards and made to crawl on their knees, also a form of humiliation.� The corrections experts say that some of the worst abuses have occurred in Texas, whose prisons were under a federal consent decree during much of the time President Bush was governor because of crowding and violence by guards against inmates.� Judge William Wayne Justice of Federal District Court imposed the decree after finding that guards were allowing inmate gang leaders to buy and sell other inmates as slaves for sex.� The experts also point out that the man who directed the reopening of the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq last year and trained the guards there resigned under pressure as director of the Utah Department of Corrections in 1997 after an inmate died while shackled to a restraining chair for 16 hours.� The inmate, who suffered from schizophrenia, was kept naked the whole time. “bullet” Marijuana possession leads to rape.. in prison. From SPR. The teen was arrested in Broward County in May on charges of delivering marijuana, a felony. He had 30 grams – or about an ounce – of marijuana in his possession at the time of the arrest. The teen19-year-old spent the first night of his sentence in a 7-by-8-foot cell with Randolph Jackson, 35, who has been in jail since July 2002 awaiting trial on a sexual battery charge. In the early morning hours of June 7, Jackson allegedly held a ballpoint pen to the teen’s throat and raped him. Jail staff did not know about the incident until later in the day, when the 19-year-old’s family members, alarmed by comments he made during a telephone conversation, called to report it, jail officials said. “bullet” The Sentencing Project has a study (pdf) showing that 1 in 11 US prisoners is now serving a life sentence. While the lifer population overwhelmingly consists of persons convicted of a violent offense, 4%, or about 5,000 lifers, have been convicted of a drug offense. In the federal system alone, approximately 2,000 life sentences are for drug offenses, representing about 39% of all life terms. “bullet” More reading and viewing: Prisoner Abuse: References and Resources for the Media from the November Coalition Civil and Human Rights from Drug War Facts I got a nice note from Loretta Nall of the U.S. Marijuana Party today and she’s doing a series of pieces at POT-TV (with video) dealing with prison and enforcement abuse here in the states.

How Not To Write Comics Criticism Created: 18 Sep 2012 / Categories: Comics, Essays, Reviews A couple of years ago my good friend, the writer Sara Ryan, did the world a favor when she put together a blog post series called “How NOT to Write Comics.” (Post one, post two, post three.) It’s a useful collection of tips and anecdotes to help aspiring comic book writers, with most of the information drawn (haha) directly from comics artists who have suffered at the hands of inexperienced or incompetent writer-collaborators. These posts were needed in part because comic books are still not a very dominant medium in the English-speaking world. Travel to France or Japan and you’ll witness a very different culture, where plenty of cartoonists rank in the creative elite, producing work that is both widely read and taken seriously by critics and scholars. Yet many people in my part of the world still don’t really know how to read comics, much less create them. Sara’s posts provided a useful sort of “Goofus and Gallant” appendix to the ever-growing body literature on how to create compelling and readable graphic narratives. However, one group wasn’t served by “How Not To Write Comics,” because this group is not interested in writing comics per se. They are interested in writing about comics – or their editors are forcing them to try. Because now that comics have infiltrated the mainstream book trade (and the reading lists of grownups) in the form of graphic novels, memoirs, and trade collections, an increasing number of critics are faced with the task of reviewing the damn things. The results are, shall we say, mixed. For every column inch of well-considered and well-informed discussion, there are fifteen yards of lazy, confused, condescending, clueless, unhelpful, and sometimes even frankly hostile copy. Some of these critics are just jerks who resent that their editor has torn the galley copy of the latest Houellebecq novel out of their hands and replaced it with some stupid book with pictures in it. Pictures. Only Umberto Eco gets to use pictures! I can’t help those people. I just feel bad for them, because they’re going to miss out on a lot of wonderful and important books. This leaves all the critics who are just beginning their journey into comics reading, or who have yet to be entirely won over to the medium but want to keep an open mind (perhaps due to peer pressure: I remember a literati cocktail party where somebody near me anxiously muttered “I guess we’re all supposed to read graphic novels now.”) These brave souls are willing to give it a try, but they tend to make a lot of mistakes when they first start out. Certain errors needlessly recur in comics criticism. Encountering one of them in a critical review or essay is an instant signal to an informed comics reader that the writer doesn’t know what they’re talking about. There might still be some excellent insights on display, but those insights are diminished by sharing the page with outright errors. Don’t get me wrong: there is plenty of room for interesting-but-still-arguable observations from outsiders, and even room for points best described as obviously-not-true-if-you-know-your-stuff–but-shows-genuine-effort. I don’t want to discourage original thought. But the sorts of mistakes I’m after in this post are not near-misses born from attempts to take on something new. They’re just unprofessional blunders. Luckily, these mistakes are easily avoided with a little attention. This post is intended to help you, the critic, identify those mistakes in advance so they never hit the page. So, without further ado…I present to you my own personal…. TOP TEN COMICS CRITICISM MISTAKES #1. Comics Aren’t For Kids Anymore Used, often as a headline, with popular variant “Comics Aren’t Just For Kids Anymore.” This line is so notorious amongst comics folk that it is often referred to in acronym form (CAFKA). Here’s the thing: comics haven’t just been for kids since, oh, the 1960s. Underground comics (“comix”) combined counterculture subject matter (sex, drugs, rock and roll, etc.) with some of the artistic techniques from syndicated newspaper cartoons, mid-century horror comics and animation. Virtually none of it is “kid-safe,” although I’m sure many contemporary cartoonists owe their vocations to surreptitious perusal of Mom and Dad’s poorly concealed collections of R. Crumb and RAW. Furthermore, the sorts of comics that contemporary English-speakers often associate with “kid-friendly” reading – superhero comics – have veered towards an adult audience since the mid-1980s. Did you see The Dark Knight? The Batman movie where Heath Ledger drives a pencil into a guy’s eye-socket by slamming his head onto the table? That sort of thing happens in superhero comics all the time. “Kid-friendly” titles are the exception, not the rule, and it’s been that way since I wore Osh Kosh B’Gosh overalls in size 3T. So. Stop leading with this phrase; your news story is decades out of date. As a related sub-genre, I sometimes encounter the critic who gives a comic book a bad review because the comic is (deep breath of smelling salts here) not for children. They are tripping along reviewing this strange little children’s picture-novel when OH MY LORD AND SAVIOR, violence (or worse yet, boobs)! Certainly, some adult humans will be shocked to learn that they cannot simply pick up a comic book and hurl it at the nearest child. But you’re smarter than that, more sophisticated than that, and you don’t want to waste your precious critical energy on these people. They are too busy being upset about the internet. In short: some comic books are for kids; some are just for adults. Plenty more will appeal to just about anybody. Comics are a medium, not a toy. The content – not the package – will tell you who should be reading. #2. “Biff! Pow! Zap!” Often used in conjunction with “Comics Aren’t For Kids Anymore.” Other, equivalent sound effects are common (SOKK! etc.), and variant headlines or leads include “Holy [insert word], Batman!” These phrases seem to derive from the 1960’s Adam West Batman TV show, which superimposed lettered “sound effects” during campy fight scenes; the “Holy [whatever], Batman!” was the Robin line that Burt Ward was forced to utter in endless variance. Neither of these phrases have much relevance to actual comic books (Batman or otherwise), and the datedness of the TV show reference is justification alone for avoiding these moldy chestnuts. And, lest you cling to this language for some illusion of originality or catchiness, a quick Google search for “biff pow zap” turns up ALL of these headlines: Bang! Pow! Zap! HEROES ARE BACK! – Time Magazine, 1986 Biff! Pow! Using comics to sell health law – Associated Press, 2011 Pow. Zap. Bang. How God makes your action-packed life like a superhero’s. – ChristianityToday.com, 2010 Pow! Zap! Physics? Prof. Jim Kakalios Spices Up Science with a Colorful Teaching Tool – People.com, 2011 and, perhaps most horrifying: Biff! Pow! Judge Gives Jack Kirby Heirs One In The Kisser In Marvel Characters Ruling – Wall Street Journal, 2011 Likewise, I encourage you to avoid harping on these tired cliches: people who dress up in costume at conventions (they’re normal people having fun on their day off) the Comic Book Guy from The Simpsons anything along the line of “pale guys who live in Mom’s basement” any and all unbidden Star Trek or Star Wars references Don’t go there, friends. We’ve already been. #3. “With the box-office success of…” EXAMPLE: “With the box-office success of The Avengers, comic books haven proven their appeal to a wide audience.” In its most painful incarnation, this sentence will kick off a review of, say, an autobiographical memoir about the artist’s childhood in the slums of Bangladesh. The point is: movies based on comic book properties are not necessarily relevant to all of comics. (Shocking though it may seem, many comic books have no direct relevance even to other comic books). Would you start a review of a literary novel with the sentence “With the box-office success of Twilight, novels have proven their appeal to a wide audience”? No, you wouldn’t, because (a) it’s patently silly and (b) it doesn’t say anything about the actual work you’re supposedly addressing. If you must reference the recent blockbuster, a better approach might be something like “while Marvel Comics has sought out a wider audience by adapting its characters for blockbuster flicks like The Avengers, Publisher X has focused on fostering mature, original voices in non-fiction memoir.” Give it your own spin. #4. “Non-fiction graphic novel” OR “this isn’t a comic book. It’s a graphic novel.” This confusion was probably inevitable. The way people talk about comics has changed a great deal in the last thirty years. Let us try to set the record straight! God help us. Comics (generally singular, despite the s) is the medium. You may also (though much less frequently) hear sequential art. A comic is any complete work in the comics medium, regardless of genre or length. Rather like “film” or “poem.” A comic book is, for the sake of definition, any complete work made in the comics medium that is long enough to involve several pages of material or have a collective title. If it were printed, would you have to staple it to keep it all together? Great. Let’s call it a comic book, then. A graphic novel is a complete work of fiction in the comics form which, if printed, is long enough to be bound as a trade volume, so with a glued or sewn spine. (How’s that for arbitrary?) It is a novel, just as Jane Eyre is a novel, but it is told in comics, not prose. “Graphic novel” is basically a very clever marketing term that allows booksellers, librarians, and other nervous adults to have a shorthand for “book-length thing of comics that we can sell for over ten dollars and doesn’t make you look like a pedophile for reading in public.” Unlike many people in the comics business, I don’t mind the (fairly new) term, because it’s done great things to convince people who aren’t avid comics readers that it’s okay to pick up a comic book now and again without fearing their book group’s scorn. When people ask me what the difference is between a comic book and a graphic novel, I say that all graphic novels are comic books, but not all comic books are graphic novels. Then they look confused, and we change the subject. Hitch #2 inherent to the term “graphic novel” – the word “novel” implies “fiction” which is to say “stuff that didn’t actually happen to anybody.” While I have no sacred commitment to “novel” (since it originally connoted “sordid fad that is corrupting our women and children”), it is rather awkward and confusing to refer to something as a “non-fiction graphic novel” since this translates to “book-length work of non-fiction comics fiction.” Even more awkwardly, thanks to the multiple meanings of the word “graphic”, if you remove the term “novel” and swap in a more accurate genre description, like “memoir”, you get embarrassing locutions like “graphic memoir” which can be mistaken to mean “prose memoir which involves lots of intense sex and violence.” (The Toronto Comic Arts Festival famously instructs its American guests to avoid using the term “graphic novels” at the border, since many customs agents hear “graphic” and think “pornography.”) I have no good solution for this one, and nobody else has come up with a consistent reference. Eventually I’d love to hear “comics” replace “graphic” and thus hear about “comics novel” or “comics memoir,” but only time will tell. In the meantime, tread with caution and consult the oracles. #5. Cartoon(y)(ish)/comic-book(y)(ish) These words are frequently used, in comics criticism and in criticism in general, as stand-ins for “dumb,” “wacky,” “brightly-colored,” “outlandish,” and “lurid and kinetic with no intellectual or emotional core.” Friends: I challenge you to read David Mazzucchelli’s masterpiece novel Asterios Polyp and apply any of those descriptive terms to it. (Well, it is brightly colored, but there’s symbolism, so it doesn’t count.) I think it’s fine to use “cartoonish” to describe a simple and exaggerated portrayal. That’s been in use for quite some time, since the heyday of illustration. And obviously the term is also acceptable to explain where on the spectrum of stylization an artist’s work falls – Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi is drawn in a style that is much more “cartoony” than, say, The Killing Joke (drawn by Brian Bolland, written by Alan Moore), which is far more “realistic.” It’s also fine to use “comic-book-y” to describe a work that intentionally emulates a type of comics work; Lichtenstein, for example, was grabbing directly from comics sources, and there are plenty of movies that draw story and style inspiration from certain kinds of comics. But it’s foolish to assume that the readers knows WHICH kind of comics you’re talking about. What you really mean is “this work is reminiscent of my personal stereotypes about a medium with which I’m obviously not overly familiar.” And you don’t want to write that, do you? Call out a specific type of comic – “reminiscent of Golden Age Marvel comic books, bright and punchy” or find another descriptor. In the meantime, if you’d like a more in-depth discussion of the aesthetics and function of visual style in comics, pick up a copy of Scott McCloud’s landmark book Understanding Comics. #6. Talk bubbles and picture boxes Would you describe brushstrokes as “paint patches” or a song bridge as “transition verse?” Would you call a fictional plot an “event structure” or a pas de deux a “two-person dance?” No, you would not, because you’re a professional, and you make it a point to understand the terms that define the medium you are concerned with. Nor would you spend overmuch time in a review defining these terms for readers, since it behooves you to assume that they are already interested in what you are talking about (and are capable of looking up terms they don’t recognize). One of the most common errors is to mis-refer to the visual/textual device by which characters in comics traditionally “speak.” These are word balloons. A contiguous chunk of narrative text not uttered directly by a character but instead superimposed over the imagery is typically called a caption. Closed, discrete image units, which generally depict a distinct chunk of time or space – are panels. The spaces between panels are gutters. (Please, no puns; they’ve already been made.) There are plenty of other terms – including many that are shared with prose and film – but those are the most essential. No neologisms required. If you’re looking for some further reference on comics vocabulary (and you are), I recommend browsing the following widely-published titles, all of which are appropriate for a general audience: Understanding Comics, Scott McCloud Drawing Words and Writing Pictures, Matt Madden and Jessica Abel The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Creating a Graphic Novel, Nat Gertler and Steve Lieber #7. This muffin is so good that it’s actually a bagel Oh, I do love this one, and by love I mean that it can induce me to hurl an otherwise a respectable publication across the room. In this case, the reviewer has been sentenced to read and then write about a comic book. There are two varieties, one seen mostly in smaller, local publications and blogs, and the other in publications of a hoity-toity bent. VARIANT #1: I Don’t Come Here Often, But… The first kind of reviewer undertakes her task with a great deal of foot-dragging and exculpatory phrases about how they aren’t “big graphic novel boosters.” Here’s a classic example, from a recent issue of the Seattle Times: I, like many other rampant bibliophiles, am a reluctant reader of graphic books. Yet, a few pages into Alison Bechdel’s latest memoir, “Are You My Mother?” (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 290 pp., $22), I was hooked despite the comic-book format. To me, all this paragraph says is “I’m reluctant to try anything that challenges my arbitrary habits, and I’m probably not qualified to review this book in a larger cultural context.” Or maybe (even less charitably) “Oh my gosh, I’m SO not that kind of annoying nerd! Please don’t dismiss my intellectual seriousness for liking this one comic book. If I convince other people to like it, then maybe I won’t feel so uncomfortable!” I appreciate what the writer is trying to do – reach out to other reluctant readers. (Because that’s what you are in this case, kids: reluctant readers. Not “rampant bibliophiles.”) There’s really something to be said for a “come on in, the water’s fine” approach to convincing the status-anxious to pick up a new kind of book. But you’re not doing yourself or those readers any favors by wincing your way through your appraisal of the work at hand. The most “rampant bibliophiles” I know don’t dismiss a potentially great book just because of its format or genre. So instead of making yourself look narrow-minded, why don’t you just open your review with praise of the book, as you would for any other title of merit? Then, if you’re worried that people will be hesitant to read on, emphasize that the material has the potential to be both accessible and appealing to prose readers. VARIANT #2: Green Eggs and Ham Not all writers are well-intentioned, of course. Some of them see themselves as arbiters of high culture and comics as a party crasher. This sort of person seems to look forward to writing a vicious takedown. He opens with some flippant references to a legacy newspaper strip like Hagar the Horrible or a sniffy description of the manga collections that his teenaged niece reads in a corner at Thanksgiving while the grown-ups quaff sherry and discuss matters of international diplomacy. Now that the critic has safely established that he’s not one of “those” people, he brings up the actual comic book he’s been paid to read. To his infinite horror, he finds that it is pretty good. There will be a few stumbling paragraphs of praise – why, this is reminiscent of fine literature! The pictures and the words combine to create meaning beyond what each individually represents! And then there will be a stunning piece of rationalization. Because this comic book is really good, it must not ACTUALLY be a comic book. (Or, this comic book is so good, it doesn’t seem RIGHT to call it a comic book.) There are certainly examples of work that exists to comment on its own form or genre – deconstruction, meta-commentary, appropriation, satire; pick your Trojan horse. It it work that takes on a form just to piss on that form. Every medium has its anarchists, and being able to recognize that intention is a valuable critical skill. But just because something is better (in your opinion) than many of its peer works does not mean that it is a commentary on its medium, or that the medium ceases to apply. The critic’s assumption that “comic book” connotes “low culture” doesn’t make the work at hand any less of a comic book, or any less of an artistic achievement. All you’re doing with this kind of rationalization is revealing your own discomfort about liking something you don’t think you’re supposed to. Which is ridiculous. This is comic books, not heroin or blood diamonds or Celine Dion. #8. Comics: A Bold Artistic Choice for a Cartoonist The reviewer observes that the cartoonist in question has, in fact, produced something very good, and perhaps not typical of the reviewer’s notion of what a comic book is like. The reviewer acknowledges that the comic book creator is, in fact, a first-rank talent – somebody whose abilities could potentially shine through in other media, as well. (She’s not comic book pretty…she’s literature pretty!) From this, the critic concludes that the creator is, in fact, making a bold artistic choice by composing her work in this medium. How brave of her – and what does it mean? What is the significance of this choice for the story? Why isn’t it a novel, or a screenplay, which are things that grownups make? If David Mitchell took up macramé the critic would hardly be less perplexed. The critic will think all these things in apparent ignorance of the fact that the creator in question has been making comics – exclusively comics – for her entire career. She is not a prose novelist in a cartoonist suit for an evening. She is, in fact, a cartoonist. She might be making bold artistic choices within her chosen medium, but comics aren’t a “choice” any more than it’s a “choice” for Steven Spielberg to make a movie. There are indeed cases where a creator works in several media, and chooses to work in comics for specific story or audience reasons. This is more often true of creators who provide just the writing or just the art and create comics as part of a collaborative team. And some creators genuinely do “moonlight” in comics, as a side venture within a career focused elsewhere. There’s a simple way to determine which kind of creator you’re dealing with: Google them. Look up their work. Figure out what the comics-to-other-stuff ratio is. Then decide if what this creator is doing really constitutes a “bold artistic choice,” or merely what she was born to do. #9. The Unbearable Lightness of Word Balloons A related genre of critical overreaching. The critic encounters standard elements of comics work – word balloons, square panels, standard layouts – and immediately interprets them as meaningful to the content of the work. Comic by Kate Beaton; see on her site, buy on Amazon This is another example of the critic’s own ignorance coming out to play. Imagine if a critic wrote (of a prose novel) that “the straightness of the lines of text reflect the narrator’s matter-of-fact perception of the world, and the ordering of the letters from left-to-right functions as a subtle reference to his growing political conservatism as he comes of age over the course of the novel.” This would be silly. Likewise, a painting executed on a rectangular canvas is not automatically assumed to be commenting on the nature of the rectangle. There are plenty of formalist experimenters in comics (pick up a Chris Ware title and watch him go). However, the odds are that the book you’re reading is one of the other 95%, the kind of work that uses standard formal elements as a vehicle for subject matter beyond the borders of the medium itself. The form is meant to become invisible, or at least not draw more attention to itself more than is necessary to enjoy and understand the work. The only cure for a critic prone to over-analysis is to read enough comic books that it becomes clear when a formal element is routine, and when it’s being used more creatively. Tough break, right? But, in comic books as in everything, you have to walk before you can run. #10. Poverty of Reference Another error bred by too narrow a reading list. A critic reads a comic book (“Book A”) and finds some aspect of it striking. The critic has only read one other comic book (B). The critic then adds two and two and gets seventeen: clearly, Book A is deeply influenced by Book B. This leads to a lot of bizarre attributions that seem less like comparing apples to oranges and more like comparing apples to Kevin Bacon. Surely you must see the clear influence that Spider-Man has had on MAUS! Alternatively, the critic can’t stomach the thought of referencing other comic books at all, or can’t remember even a single one (I once met a graphic arts professor so impressed with himself that he claimed not to have heard of Garfield). So she spends the entire review talking about nothing but prose work and fine art, etc., as if the cartoonist had invented an entire new medium from the leavings of greater art forms. Comics in their current form are a tradition dating from the 19th century – like film and the modern novel – but static-words-and-pictures-telling-a-story-in-sequence are as old as words and pictures and nearly as old as sequences. A culture critic expressing wide-eyed surprise that the two things can be combined is kind of like a restaurant reviewer being surprised by sandwiches. So, yes, Alison Bechdel was very much informed by themes from Proust’s writing when she created her memoir Fun Home. But she also took a lot from Charles Addams, the cartoonist of The Addams Family; she even mentions it in the book itself. Cartoonists are, in general, not very prejudiced when it comes to their influences. Most of my peers are voracious readers, watchers, lookers, listeners, and players, mostly unconcerned with labels of “high” or “low” so long as the stuff on the menu is good. We don’t collectively put much stock in work that preens over its own elite inaccessibility (having too often been the victims of snobbery in academic settings), but nobody is going to be shunned for liking something and making use of it in their own work. You will quite possibly see the influence of Star Wars and the influence of Ezra Pound sharing a table at your local convention. But we also come from a rich artistic tradition with plenty to say for itself, and we all owe an explicit debt to the comics creators before us. Their work is our inspiration; their rules and expectations are our challenge. So you don’t get to pick and choose Alison Bechdel’s influences; Bechdel already did that for herself. The same goes for every other comics creator who strives for original expression. If you can’t acknowledge our full creative heritage, you can’t fully appreciate our work. Now go forth, to love and serve good books! So, in review. If you’re reviewing a comic book, you need to review it in the context of works that are relevant to the one at hand, and you need to make sure that the story you’re telling about it is up-to-date. If you have trouble with this – you haven’t read anything even faintly like this book before and have no idea where it came from, then you need to put in a few hours of research. Magical secret #1: comic books are a really quick read. Reading “Great Expectations” will take you twice as long as it would take you to get a quick, serviceable survey of the underground comix movement. Librarians, the internet, your twelve year-old neighbor, and comics retail professionals – to say nothing of the creators themselves, who often have websites and give interviews – will all gladly help in ridding you of that certain je ne sais quoi I’m talking about. Magical secret #2: comic books can be truly wonderful. They can also suck. A (very earnest) librarian once asked me how you can tell if a comic book is “good.” I was briefly dumbstruck by the question. I had to tell her that you figure it out the same way as you do with a prose book – you read it, or you read reviews of it, see if it’s won awards or been recommended by organizations, ask friends, see what’s circulating. If you pick up a comic book and you don’t like it – think first “this is probably a bad comic book.” Not “comic books are probably bad.” Can you imagine if a professional acquaintance of yours grabbed a novel at random from the Goodwill book bin and judged all of literature by it? You wouldn’t be a paid critic if such minor roadblocks as a new genre or a bad book got in the way of your reading habit. It’s your job to tell us, the clueless schmoes of the reading public, if something is worth picking up or not. When I read a negative review, I want to know what’s wrong with the book, not what’s wrong with your relationship to the medium. Likewise, in a positive review, I’m not looking for a blow-by-blow account of your realization that comic books can have cultural value. I already know that they do; I’m hoping you’ll tell me why this particular comic book has cultural value. All I want is for you to write a review that I can respect. You can do that by writing a review that respects me, as a reader and a creator. Because I really need some new reading material. And I’m hoping you can help. MaggieDreadful September 18 2012 / 11:55 am This article is great. I’ve encountered a lot of these cliches just talking to people about comics. I’ve found it very difficult trying to explain to people what “graphic novel” actually means. September 18 2012 / 12:06 pm This is a fantastic article, but now I’m committed to spreading the use of the term “table dagger” everywhere I go from here on out. I learned it from watching you! Rob Salkowitz Useful and cautionary advice – thanks! As someone who tries to write intelligently about comics, some of these landmines are more familiar than is comfortable 🙂 . Quick note on point 2: writers don’t usually write the headlines that appear with their stories. “Zap! Bam! Pow!” is usually the affectation of a lazy editor and can be as cringe-inducing for the bylined writer as for the readers. Indeed – I’ve been the victim of Bad Editor Headline Syndrome myself. My hope is that this will discourage bloggers and other folks who write their own headlines from using the title, and will give publication writers ammunition for saying “Here’s the piece on Alan Moore; p.s. my sources say “pow biff zap” is a no-go for lead, thx”, and will likewise give annoyed readers/commenters something to point at to discourage publications from using it. I’m kind of glad to read something like this, though it makes me sad that it’s a prevalent enough issue that the article needs to exist. Most of the points listed apply not just to comics writing, but any kind of writing. It just feels like common sense. I run into this all the time as I also write about figures/statues/collectibles, and have to try and be fair even if I don’t particularly dig the source material (anime, comic, movie, game in question). Either way, I found it helpful since I blog books and things in my own time, and am preparing to write about the comics I’ve been picking up as well. Granted, my scope is rather limited as I used to read much more comics when I was younger, but New 52 titles got me back into it now and I like the idea of sharing the experience. Of course, I’m reading other books that aren’t necessarily New 52, but they essentially pulled me back into being a regular subscriber at my local comic shop. Thanks for writing this — I’m glad to know that I could be one less writer asserting herself as a “big, responsible grown-up who’d never go for comics as they’re for kiddos and read fancy literature instead” by simply following a few hard rules. Christopher Grimm September 18 2012 / 1:03 pm This essay is both informative and enjoyable. Thank you very much. Brilliant write up here. Its quite often to see content like such be dismissed solely due to “lowly” qualities such as illustration. But here’s me hoping we’re slowly phasing that out. Again, good write up, and good read. While I thoroughly enjoyed the article, I severely cringed at the line “je ne sais quoi I’m talking about” – what is it even supposed to mean? Hi Dainty! It’s just my little joke about how people sometimes think they’re being sophisticated by demonstrating their ignorance about something, but really it only makes them look silly. Rick Worley Ah, it feels good to read that. Now there needs to be a companion article explaining some of those same things to fans who say they’re fans of comic-books, but actually are only fans of superheroes. They think they’ve read a lot of issues of Spider-man, so they’re an authority on comic books, as opposed to what they actually are, a person obsessed with Spider-man. A lot of those people write for comic-book websites, and they think they can comment on anything with words and pictures in it, including things in the world of visual arts that aren’t comics. It’s like somebody who has only ever read Sherlock Holmes novels in their life deciding to teach a class on Tolstoy- “I’ve read a novel before, I can talk about that!” Alexa (Ladies Making Comics) I took a “Graphic Narrative” class in college from a professor who had only been reading comics for two years, and still suffered from many of the mental blocks that Dylan addresses above. September 20 2012 / 9:02 am Did/do you go to school in a grey northern city? I attended a lecture by a similar professor and had to walk out before the Q&A. I went to Wesleyan University; I will leave the culprit unnamed. He was a real dragon! This is awesome. Thank you! Chris Schweizer Wonderfully written, very informative article. Thanks for taking the time to (hopefully) give future reviewers the ammunition with which to write useful reviews. Do you have a favourite comics reviewer? I’d like to read (and encourage!) good reviewers. I’m a big fan of my friend Douglas Wolk and his writing; he is smart, omnivorous and fair. This article is basically perfect, and really sums up a lot of problems people clearly have with discussing comics in general, let alone specific ones. Bookmarking this for re-reading later, because this definitely seems like an article worth memorising and pointing out to others. Incredible Piece. Thank You! Jon P I feel like another common trope in comics critique, similar but distinct from #1, is someone saying “Yes, it’s a good story, but it’s not funny and comics are supposed to be funny.” This is great! As someone who is just starting to read graphic novels I’m glad to see I haven’t been guilty of any of these. A note on #4: I work at a library and any nonfiction comics we have are labeled “graphic nonfiction”. I think that term works pretty well, given that other books are split by fiction/nonfiction…these are just either fictional or nonfictional works told through graphics. I like it! I’m always excited when I see libraries whose comics collections are thoughtfully categorized and displayed. I despair when i go to my local library – all of the ‘graphic novels’, ‘trade collections’ etc are in the humour section. They obviously have no idea of the content of some of the books on that shelf – i think i have only seen one book that they have that i would classify as humourous. They do have work by Maus, Warren Elis, Garth Ennis, Ed Brubaker etc – so a lot of ‘graphic’ violence, sex and swearing – i’m just waiting on and adult picking up a ‘humourous comic’ for their kid and all hell breaking loose when they get it home. I have spoken to the librarians but deaf-ears prevail. Excellent article – i will be passing it around. Kip W In 1980, our local newspaper somehow decided to do a story on my roommate and me and all the comics we had collected. Using your guidelines, they creatively titled it “[#2] [#1].” It felt like a cliche even then. (I managed a comic shop from 1975 to 1976. Maybe I heard it all then.) John Jackson Miller After doing countless mainstream press interviews about the business that wound up printed under the CAFKA or “Biff, Pow” headline — I greatly appreciate this column. And the movies-to-comics thing is the topic of every other call I get from a reporter these days. I think it’s just such an easy assignment for an entertainment desk to make. On the terminology style, for a long time at Comics Buyer’s Guide, we tried to maintain a distinction between original graphic novels and collected editions; I have continued that at my Comichron research site, though I admit that ship has sailed. The reader doesn’t need to know that Watchmen came out as individual monthly chapters, but it’s good for would-be publishers to be aware of. Several prose outfits in the 2000s jumped into publishing original graphic novels, not realizing that serialization is built into the profitability model for most comics. There’s a business reason more than 90% of the books on the “graphic novel” shelf are collected editions. So the distinction has relevance — but probably not to the mainstream audience most of these reporters are talking to. On a similar score, for what it’s worth, our stylebook at CBG for more than 30 years held that “comic” should never be used as a singular, unless you’re referring to Jerry Seinfeld. Something was either a comic book or a comic strip; “comics” is what appears on the page. But “webcomic” blurred that, and I think that’s another ship that’s put out to sea. That was great. No one who has read one or even ten novels would be allowed to review literary novels – a proper reviewer should be totally familiar with the medium. I can count the number of printed comics I’ve read on both hands, but I totally agree with everything above. Especially the bit about being able to like and draw influence from both the “high” and “low” arts. I have George Orwell sitting next to Star Wars novels on my bookshelf. M.S. Patterson Brill as usual my dear. Also very humorous. I personally have gotten to where I can’t stand the “low” and “high” art thing. It just makes me want to slap whoever is going on about it in their tightly pursed little pretentious mouth. Grr. Andrew Farago Shaenon and I were talking to Mo Willems once, and he said that he disliked the term “graphic novel,” since it’s so rarely applied to something that he’d consider a novel. Lots of memoirs, lots of genre fiction, but rarely novels. I think the most accurate term we settled on was “fat comics,” but I don’t think that’s going to catch on anytime soon. Well put, Dylan. You are making the world a better place. Nika-N Lovely article, hopefully more reviewers and critics come around and read it. Shitty articles about comics, usually spurred by a successful superhero movie, is a relatively small casualty in the overall decline and corruption of jouralism. That said, the Batman sound effects are still annoying. Thanks. Great read! I particularly appreciated the non-fiction graphic novel conundrum. On the other hand (sorry – this is going to be a bit long), as a long time comic fan I have to respectfully disagree with what ultmately you settle upon for the definition of graphic novels: “A graphic novel is a complete work of fiction in the comics form which, if printed, is long enough to be bound as a trade volume, so with a glued or sewn spine.” You yourself identify that nowadays “graphic novel” is really more of a marketing term. A collection of previously released, single issues of comic books bundled into a larger grouping is a “trade paperback,” really. To qualify as an actual graphic novel, the work in question needs to have aways been always intended as a single, standalone piece of work. The Watchmen for instance has been consumed in its trade paperback format so exclusively that most of its readers are unaware it initially existed as a limited, monthly comic book series. I’d even object when people described it as a graphic novel. It does seem like the “comics” description you outline could have considerable utility in this area. Thanks for a great article! That’s a little what I was going for when I said “a complete work of fiction” – a unified piece of storytelling with a beginning/middle/end. I thought about discussing “collections” as well, but when I got two paragraphs in and found myself talking about the serialization of Dickens novels I made an executive decision to leave that debate for another day. I think most reviewers who have to tackle a comic book and feel out of their depth are going to be reviewing “literary” (oy) or youth market volumes, or collected works with a unified story like “Watchmen” (or, say, “Box Office Poison”) that, in bound form, are going to be indistinguishable from one-off graphic novels to the average reader. How much does distribution system matter vs. authorial intent and does anybody really care if all they want is to be able to read the whole story between two covers (or in one download)? Either way, it’s clear that “graphic novel” is a very poor term for taxonomic purposes, but a great PR tool. Like how everybody sells prunes as “dried plums” these days. Nat Gertler Whenever I get into the “graphic novels are not necessarily novels” discussion, I always point out that most comic books are neither comic nor books. Misleading terminology is our heritage! A good piece, Dylan, and I wish you luck in having it seen (and understood) by the people who should see it. Peter S. Conrad Like many other comics lovers, I read prose only infrequently 😉 But holy moley, this is a cogent, well-written, much-needed, light-hearted, informed, enjoyable essay. Wow. Gonna go share this on FB now. This written article is in fact SO GOOD that I’m tempted to say it’s actually a comic! Critic Carl Wilson wrote a fascinating book about the concept of taste and why we’re not supposed to like Celine Dion. Well worth investigating. http://www.amazon.com/Celine-Dions-Lets-Talk-About/dp/082642788X/ref=sr_1_10?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1348080077&sr=1-10&keywords=what+we+talk+about+when+we+talk+about+love (GREAT piece, by the by.) Lisa Jonte “I once met a graphic arts professor so impressed with himself that he claimed not to have heard of Garfield” That was my figure drawing professor in college. Would that I had been as articulate in my defense of comics then as I am now, or as you have been here. In any case, I love this post so much I just want to hug it and feed it cookies. Nentuaby Is “Word Balloon” really the only common standard? I’ve heard “speech bubble” from a lot of sources who seem like they’d know. I’d say speech bubble is an acceptable alternative, but word balloon is more common. John Scialli MD (forensic psychiatrist) Off topic, however people may like the follow-up to Fig. 1 above: Gallant died at age 52 of autoerotic asphyxiation following his 4th divorce and 3rd coronary. His two sons, although united in hatred for the old perfectionist, remain in litigation over ownership of his liver the fat content of which is said to rival that of the gavaged geese of Strasbourg. Goofus and his wife of 43 years, the former Mabel Timbertoe, are retired and spend part of the year with each of their six children and multiple grandchildren, while distributing the earnings of their charitable Foundation. Goo’s numerous patents reflect his flair for innovation and open-mindedness, which as a child were mistaken to be signs of impulsiveness and thoughtlessness. He has forgiven his late brother Gallant for the murder attempt. Eric Lindberg Absolutely brilliant article! So many of these cliches aggravate me to no end (especially the “biff bam pow” nonsense). As both a fan and writer of comics, I hate that the medium is still perceived this way by many people. For all the progress it’s made over the years, it still gets treated like the red-headed stepchild of literature. I only hope that this article reaches the critics and casual readers that it’s intended for. I like the piece is general, but it seems a little too perfectly symptomatic that your defense of the smartness and depth of comics against people who use “comic-bookish” to mean “dumb” is illustrated with a panel from Asterios Polyp that misspells Nietzsche’s name. I might argue that it reflects worse on the copyeditor at Pantheon. I really like “This muffin is so good it’s actually a bagel.” I see this happen not just with comics but sci fi all the time and it drives me crazy. Nick Mullins This is great. I really love the illustrations, too. #1 and 2 aren’t as common as they used to be, I don’t think. But I see, or hear, number 8 all the time. “So why comics?” the interviewer asks perplexed. Because I’m a duck and ducks do swim. Along the problem with the word “graphic” in graphic novel, I once made the mistake of telling someone I created comics books for adult readers. She immediately thought I made porn. Not that I necessarily disagree with any of your points, but this article would have been dramatically improved by the inclusion of more direct quotes and links. As it stands, it feels a little bit straw man-y. A fine point, and one I struggled with in writing this. I had to ask myself whether the priority of the post was to vent my own frustration and nail specific writers or publications for biffing it (and give readers a weapon with which to bludgeon future transgressors), or to provide a snarky-but-instructional guide to the writers who want to write well about comics. After sending drafts to a few readers whose livelihoods DON’T depend on the comics industry, I decided that it was more important to extend a hand than slap wrists; particularly when so many of the articles which drove me crazy in the first place were written by people of fundamentally decent intention. It’s not always easy to sell a feature article about a funny-book in a media environment that increasingly demands pandering conformity from its content authors, and I didn’t want to piss on people without knowing the story behind any individual feature. As a creator and reader, it benefits me nothing to give any specific author the impression that their first, imperfect foray into writing about comics was WRONG and that they should therefore NOT WRITE ANOTHER WORD until THEY ARE SURE THEY CAN GET IT RIGHT. And, more cravenly, I fear the possibility of inadvertently burning a bridge with a writer or publication who might have otherwise considered my own creative work as subject matter someday. If somebody reads a flawed article and replies to it with a note saying “This seems like #8 from this widely-circulated post about problems in comics criticism. Consider avoiding this language next time” rather than posting a snotty one-liner or sighing glumly and clicking on the next link, then huzzah. But, in the interest of further discussion: here are links to two articles that I find both interesting and frustrating, and that partially inspired me to write this essay; the writers clearly put much thought into writing them and had a fair amount of editorial leeway. I will leave it to readers to form their own opinions about how these pieces could have been improved in ways I discuss in this post. Not Funnies, Charles McGrath, New York Times, July 11, 2004 Drawn From Life: the World of Alison Bechdel, Judith Thurman, The New Yorker, April 23, 2012 And I more than welcome links from readers here in the comments that might serve as handy examples. SI Rosenbaum ahahaha, this is so awesome, Dylan. I remember having a conversation at a party about how to talk to people about the comic you’re reading and making when they have no idea about comics outside of superheros and funny animals. My solution was just to follow the word “comics” with the word “about.” “I’m reading a great comic book about French-Canadian history, and I’m working on one about anthropologists in Papua New Guinea.” Thus you preempt a whole chunk of the inevitable conversation. When I write about comics for thephoenix.com, which is fairly often, this is the method I use to bring non-comics readers along with me, too. That is super aikido! LET THE MOMENTUM OF HOW INTERESTING THIS IS BRING YOU ALOOOOOOOOONG m . a . noregna Superb article Dylan. Can i make a Translation of this to spanish? With total credit for you, obviusly. There are some things that need massive spread and being in a country, yet young on the comic medium but willing to embrace it (Colombia) this comes in as very useful. Un abrazo. Of course! Post a link when you finish. rabahjam I live in Switzerland and have been in France and Belgium as well… these have to be the most obvious mistakes anyone can make, you’d never read anything like that over here. I’m actually shocked to hear these clichés still exist. Jeremy Barlow This is fantastic, Dylan, and all of it needed saying. Thanks for being the one to say it. Thanks for this. A friend (not Sara Ryan, surprisingly) read it and said “Hey we should write one of these about librarians” and so I did. http://www.librarian.net/stax/3920/how-not-to-write-about-libraries-some-guidelines-for-reporters/ What a great article! LIBRARY LOVE. Well said–you’ve hit several nails on the head. Nails that needed hitting. Chris Lawson Great article. I’ve seen these same reviewers’ prejudices against my field of science fiction, including some who have argued that science fiction is bad by definition, therefore any book they enjoyed cannot be science fiction even if it contains spaceships, aliens, time travel, etc. You could take your article, change a few keywords, and it would work perfectly well for SF/fantasy. Oh, absolutely – I really wanted to mention the time where, as a part of his column on reading, Nick Hornby picked up a random George Martin sci-fi cinderblock as a test of whether or not genre could be any good (because he didn’t like Tolkien and hadn’t tried since then) and then tossed it after a few paragraphs because he found it incomprehensible, and declared that clearly sci-fi/fantasy was an irredeemable genre. Then a few months later he got ahold of some genre YA fiction and found that he ASTONISHINGLY enjoyed it, and generally behaved as if he had discovered a new continent. He didn’t seem to make the connection that perhaps the Martin novel just wasn’t written in a style to his taste, and wasn’t representative of every book set in a reality that isn’t explicitly our own. The sorts of readers who proudly declare that they have a bias for books set “in our world” or “in the here and now” seem to forget how many great works of literature are also works of wild imagination, but because they don’t have spaceships or dragons they aren’t classified as sci-fi/fantasy. And these readers also seem to disregard the possibility that not all works of fantasy or speculation are about pure escapist entertainment, but that some might actually be providing valuable commentary on “our world in the here and now.” It’s essentially the same line of thinking that leads people to dismiss or avoid comic books. Not everybody is going to like a medium or a genre, but assuming that every work on a shelf is the same merely because of the shelf is missing out on the sorts of mind-opening reading experiences that lead us all to become readers in the first place. I love me some blood diamonds, though. Gary Harland Read the article and not convinced. In fact it was so precious and defensive about the medium as to almost prove in of itself how frivolous it is. Comics are for fun, leave it at that. Great literature requires the expression of ideas, and the expression of ideas requires words, lots and lots of words. Get over it, and then read a real book. Hi Gary! I think you’re quite wrong about comics, and your response suggests that your reading list could use broadening – you’re really missing out on some incredibly thoughtful books of genuine merit. (I’d tell you to give Alison Bechdel’s “Fun Home” a go.) I would also tell you that there are many readers of exclusively prose who read nothing but thrillers, romance, horror, or humor, and enjoy nothing else; there’s nothing wrong with that, but it also says nothing about the possibilities of intellectually ambitious books. Danielle Steele and James Joyce aren’t mutually exclusive. The same is true of comics. Many of my favorite comics are fun and frivolous (brilliantly so!); many of them are by contrast quite serious and trenchant. And most of them do have words. Lots and lots of words. Also lots and lots of pictures, which are quite capable of presenting complex information in a mode inaccessible to the abstractions of prose (unless you think all of art history is a canard, in which case, godspeed). Is film incapable of conveying complex thought? Or theater? Both of those combine words and images to create narrative. Perhaps you simply only enjoy funny comics, in the way that plenty of people only enjoy thriller novels. But that is something to do with your tastes as a reader. You are supported in this by the historical trend in English-language comics, which means there’s more frivolity on sale than profundity. But novels were also considered to be frivolous when they first appeared (as many of them were); poetry and scholarly monographs were what serious readers were supposed to stick to. Luckily nowadays we can have our cake and eat it too. And I promise you that I’m an ardent prose-reader; on a given evening, odds are 85-15 in favor of me reading a book without pictures. I’m happy to bang on about The Greats, my favorite novel is Middlemarch, I can tell you all about terza rima in Dante, I have suffered through Heidegger, I can drone all you like about christological symbolism in 20th century Russian surrealist fiction, yadda yadda yadda. I’m no genius, but I’ve had a so-called classical education. I loved it. I also love comics. I do know the difference between fizz and substance. And I also know from personal experience as a reader and creator that comics are perfectly capable of being either. It’s a young medium, and one I’m excited to contribute to. Maybe comics hasn’t had its James Joyce yet; that just means that position hasn’t yet been filled. How exciting is that for a young creator? It’s quite a shame you haven’t found the comic book that changes your mind, but I can’t force you to be curious. Luckily, there are enough titles on this earth to keep us all satisfied indefinitely. Doctor_Fruitbat October 1 2012 / 5:00 pm If the expression of ideas requires words, that would mean that fine art and music are worthless, including all classical music and the work of the greatest Renaissance masters. After all, they didn’t use words to express themselves, which I guess makes them ‘frivolous’ and ‘just for fun’. How not to write how-not-to articles: use the phrase ‘still not a very dominant medium’ . Even if you don’t know why this is technically wrong the sound of it ought to wound your ear enough to avoid it. Your tone is annoying and victim-y. I’m not a victim at all; I do something that I love for a living. I can’t hide my frustration with something that affects me as a professional, but I can temper my response with humor and try to focus on providing helpful information instead of just whining or trying to nail people to the wall. I’m sorry it’s not your flavor; I more than welcome alternative takes on this subject. Cheers! Winston Rowntree (^Oh god, just delete the one-sentence-or-less-unpleasant-jackass-comments, if they don’t see other troll comments they won’t bother writing any. Trust me, it works, and it doesn’t make you a bad person.) Anyway, as Someone Who Makes Comix For Some Reason i just wanted to thank you for sticking up for the medium like this, it’s really a necessary article. It’s so hard to get any goddamn media attention to begin with, and then even if you’ve got a bestselling graphic novel odds are the reviews will be just as asinine as the examples you cite above (although this seems to be less of a problem in the UK, in my experience of reading various reviews over time, so there IS hope). I’m just glad you took the time to actually write all this out, you do us all a favor for sure. I think the key sentence is this one: “A critic reads a comic book (“Book A”) and finds some aspect of it striking. The critic has only read one other comic book (B). The critic then adds two and two and gets seventeen: clearly, Book A is deeply influenced by Book B. ” That is, after decades, we’re unbelievably STILL in the phase where the medium is seen not as a medium but as a genre (or sub-genre), and thus if you like one comic you’ll like them all, or vice versa. And there’s some truth to that, unfortunately! As a kid i would read anything that came in comics format regardless of subject matter, and i know i wasn’t alone in that, and i also know that’s completely untrue of any other medium. In addition, there’s still a narrow range of voices operating in the medium compared with things like music or prose literature, which certainly contributes to any accusations of sameness among any two given graphic novels. It is NOT a genre obviously, it most certainly IS a medium, but there are certain internal peculiarities that contribute to it being erroneously seen as one big set of interrelated content. There’s the semi-famous (?) Brad Bird quote about how animation is not a genre, it’s a technique, and that’s the same battle we have in comix. And the answer of course is to grow the medium, to have it appear to a greater variety of people as An Option when they’re deciding what to do with their lives (and webcomics have been a HUGE step forward in this regard, the increasing diversity is outstanding). And the ONLY way to get over the tipping point in that regard is with the help of the media. And the only way they’ll help is by actually taking the medium seriously. And i reckon articles like this are most certainly a step in that direction, so, again, cheers, and a firm handshake in your direction. Haha! Don’t worry, I only respond to short comments when I think my response will be instructive to other people reading the post. Thanks for your thoughtful response! Hi Dylan, Excellent stuff. I’d only add that comics didn’t stop being for kids in the 1960s. In the USA at least they STARTED OUT not being for kids – from the very beginning. Mutt and Jeff, perhaps the first successful daily newspaper strip, started out on the sports pages of an SF newspaper (under the title of A. Mutt) and was clearly aimed at adult readers. Comics in the USA are initially a newspaper phenomenon (something you’d think more journalists would understand) and it was GROWNUPS who bought newspapers – not kids. Not that I have anything against great children’s literature or comics that are created for an all-ages audience. Some of my favorite comics are kids comics. Just because something is aimed at children doesn’t mean it can’t be insightful, profound, moving, and artistically important. BTW, some of us academics are working on trying to create a whole new generation of historically informed comics scholars. Check out the link: http://comics.uoregon.edu/ Thanks again for this witty piece. Hope it does some good. Great article. I make comics, and read them. Don’t review much, but I noticed all the faux-pas you mentioned that bugged me for years, even from my favorite websites. Thanks for writing this. Fawnet “Certainly, some adult humans will be shocked to learn that they cannot simply pick up a comic book and hurl it at the nearest child.” Oh god, I am laughing so hard at the mental image. Thank you, that was wonderful! One of my grandparents once bought her young nephew a copy of Viz. If you don’t know what that is, it features characters such as the Two Fat Slags. Enough said. I think you’re unduly harsh in your criticism of some of the critics. Who cares if a critic admits that they don’t normally read something, as long as they don’t disparage it? People are entitled to their own personal preferences. “I don’t normally read comics” = no big deal, and a positive review will be all the better from someone that doesn’t normally read them. “Comics are stupid and I was forced to read this” of course not good, but you didn’t seem to be mentioning people saying that. Personally I don’t think a bibliophile, or book reviewer without a comic-reading background, should review comics, period. Sure, they could evaluate the written portions, but how in the world could they properly evaluate the art? Not simply the drawn figures, but also the panel spacing, text flow, etc. One of my biggest beefs with many comics is they lay down panels wherever… Simply put, I don’t feel it’s the critics fault, but the editor’s. Assigning an individual to review a comic that has so far only reviewed books, and never read a comic is like taking someone who’s never read a book and asking them to type up a review on a novel. Honestly, to follow-up, what editors should do is hire comic-readers to review graphic novels. Now if only someone could explain to me why Anthony Lane of the New Yorker insists on reviewing superhero movies when he obviously hates comic books and superheroes! Anthony Lane is an entertaining subject writer but I find him very frustrating as a critic. I think his heart lies in writing longer pieces about cultural figures and that short reviews must irritate him or bore him enough that he uses them as target practice. MEITTI Good article, though the problems you’ve listed are not quite so widespread, since most serious comic reviewers tend to know about the world of comics already. Many of these problems are more common with movie reviewers and critics, theres a LOT of really bad film critics out there. Érico October 1 2012 / 11:21 am I write about comics for a publisher’s blog in Brazil (among other venues) and just published a piece about this post of yours. It’s in Portuguese, so I guess it won’t mean much, but I hope you like it. http://www.blogdacompanhia.com.br/2012/10/resenhando-os-quadrinhos/ I think a large part of the problem is why people look down on any visual medium – because unlike literature, we can instinctively understand them without needing to learn how to comprehend them first. That’s why I usually compare comics, movies or videogames to music – we can easily comprehend them, but learning to ‘read’ those mediums and fully understand why you’re enjoying them and how their structural elements combine so effectively takes intelligence and thought. The difference being that music, being as old as time, has long been accepted as an intelligent and valid art form, while the others still have stragglers who assume that having a natural comprehension of those mediums makes them less intelligent. Accessibility does not equal lack of intelligence, and failing to understand that is what turns people from considered intellectuals into ignorant snobs. Karl Ruben Really well-written and well argued article, and a valuable tool for anyone who works with or thinks about comics a great deal. The one thing I missed from your ten point list is a crucial one, and that is critics who treat or refer to the pictures as illustrations. This happens a lot when a work has been produced by a multi-person team, with a writer’s name at the top of the masthead. The writer is then for the duration of the piece treated as the authorial force behind the work, the artist(s) relegated to a perfunctory mention in one of the last few paragraphs. And/or, any remarkable effects achieved by the work is attributed to the writer, not the writer and artist(s) in tandem. This seems to me a problem that is prevalent even with more knowledgeable critics, not just the mainstream press writers your list is targeted towards. Anyway, thanks again for the article, and for taking the time to be so active in your comments section, it’s a much appreciated effort. October 3 2012 / 9:29 am It’s funny – in different venues, either the writer OR the artist involved in a collaborative comic book can be devalued. I’ve seen reviews that talk about nothing but the art, and reviews that talk about nothing but the writing. I think part of the problem is that the creative balance in comics can vary so wildly from project to project – there are author-driven books where the artist is given loads of direction and is basically a hired hand; there are artist-driven books where the writer is there to provide a structure for what amounts to an art showcase; there are completely collaborative books where the artist is very much co-authoring the book even though the writer is the one with a script document on her hard drive, or where the writer strongly specifies style and imagery. It’s a little more predictable when the work comes from a house like Marvel or DC, where editorial and scheduling expectations demand a certain conformity of process and more clearly defined roles. But the kind of book most likely to be reviewed in publications with ‘New York’ in the title is generally a mystery. Short of interviewing the creators, there’s just no way of knowing who can be credited for specific elements. You’re certainly right about the authorial contributions of different individuals involved in a comic being difficult to parse, and difficult in a different way from work to work. That’s precisely what makes it an important thing to consider when analysing a comic. If you are widely read, it becomes a useful angle for approaching the work, providing context for the contributions of the various people involved. And if you’re new to the medium, like the target audience for your list, it’s a crucial thing to remember when discussing authorial intent. Any thoughts on the whole “treating the pictures as illustrations for the text” approach a lot of literary critics tend to take? >Can you imagine if a professional acquaintance of yours grabbed a novel at random from the Goodwill book bin and judged all of literature by it? Sadly, there are many people who actually do this. Andrew B October 11 2012 / 5:23 pm I just happened to find out about this post yesterday. Today I happened to come across Richard Brody’s piece about middlebrow attacks on highbrow movies: http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/movies/2012/10/movie-culture-isnt-dead.html (Not sure if your commenting software will allow links — if not google “Richard Brody O’Hehir Bailey site:www.newyorker.com”.) It’s kind of interesting to see how similar your attack on middlebrow culture from “below” is to Brody’s attack on it from “above”. One thing that struck me about Brody’s piece is his point that cinematic technique isn’t opposed to feeling; it’s how movies elicit and express feeling. That got me thinking that perhaps your point 9 is too broad. I think I know what your real target is: “Like, OMG, the pictures actually convey something that couldn’t be put in words! Who knew?” But it is interesting to observe how the very basic formal features of comics work to convey meaning. Exhibit A is McCloud’s discussion of the gutter in “Understanding Comics”. His emphasis on the work that the reader has to do in filling in the space between panels is to me the most interesting single point in his book. But of course the gutter is a necessary feature of comics. You can’t have a series of drawings without having separation between them. In the right hands, absolutely basic formal features can be interestingly interpreted — even if the creator is not a “formalist experimenter” a la Ware. October 16 2012 / 6:29 am Alistair Gray, as well as Umberto Eco, seems to be able to get away with pictures in his books (nice pictures they are too). Came across this article about the recent ‘Marvel Comics the Untold Story’ book by Sean Howe at Salon.com, and look at the description of the article: “Bam! Pow! A new history of the iconic comics company reveals the bare-knuckled scrapping behind famed superheroes”…looks like the author didn’t read your article, which is great by the way. November 15 2012 / 4:10 pm My parents are in the category of people who think when something like the NY Times reviews the new Chris Ware book they’ve lowered their standards as if they’re reviewing Tales of Suspense #32. They’re also in the category of people who think because something’s a comic, that means I’ll like it, which is like saying “PBS and MTV are the same thing because they’re both broadcast through a cathode ray tube.” January 18 2013 / 7:15 pm I will behave. June 10 2013 / 5:48 am Where I come from the media has a problem with reporting of fmale comic artists. They are like: “LOOK! WOMEN CAN DRAW COMICS! WOW! BREAKING NEWS!” every time they talk about a female comic artist, ignoring that they have been around for quite some time now. That can happen in North America, too, although most often about superhero comics. Patrick Ijima-Washburn BAM! POW! WHIZ! I can’t believe it’s not literature! Just kidding. So perfectly spot on. Glad I ran across your wonderful article which is intelligent and not defensive at all. This is how comics should be discussed. I was wondering if I can quote you and some of your points for a rhetorical piece on the non-acceptance of comics. Title: The Greatest Books You’ve Never Read. Sure, go right ahead! June 11 2013 / 4:39 pm Sam Henderson I think critics should think of comics as a medium and not a genre, that way these mistakes would be avoided. The only common ground an action blockbuster has with a student short is the stock they’re shot on, but most of the same people that would agree look at “comics” as one thing painted with a big brush. It’s like assuming Howard Stern and NPR are the same thing. Woops! I didn’t realize I’d commented on this before several months back. Sorry about that. I think most of these writers know better but feel the need for such condescension for a general public that feels that way. An article such as yours should be written for those people to prevent CAFKA journalism from being the norm. May 3 2014 / 2:33 am Excellent article. Finally I have something to point people to when the whole graphic novel debate arises! One thing: I’ve been reading comics for thirty years now, and never once have I seen those referred to as word balloons! They’ve always been speech bubbles to me. I’m now thinking that maybe this is a British thing … ? June 1 2014 / 10:26 am It’s rare to see a blog post about art that is this entertaining, this on-point, and this insightful. I’ve read /lots/ of blog posts, so I think my bona fides as a critic of the blog-post genre will hold up 😉 . Your anger is real, but your tone is helpful rather than hateful, and by quoting some of the egregious criticisms you’ve encountered, you prevent this post from devolving into a rant session (though it works on that level, too). So many pithy, quotable lines! I particularly loved the muffin ≠ bagel illustration and this snarky jewel: “while the grown-ups quaff sherry and discuss matters of international diplomacy.” Jo Waite This is terrible, and true. Another of my comics community in Melbourne, Australia sent me the link to this, as here we are so far behind the rest of the civilized world with our comics journalism; there isn’t any! Even actual comics historians will call their exhibition at the State library Zap! Pow! Comics aren’t for kids anymore! sigh In 1979 or around then, the local paper ran a small feature on my roommate Sam and me, which actually used the line (as a headline or subhead), BIFF! BAM! POW! COMICS NOT JUST FOR KIDS ANY MORE And even then, we knew it was a goony cliche. It is true, though, that when I was managing a comic shop, I heard women walking by (probably tellers from the bank across the street or some such) say “Comic books!” and then giggle like Betty and Wilma. I told the owner it was a bad location for walk-in. A year or two after firing me, he told me that I was right about that. (Thanks, Chuck!) Hell, I said the same thing in 2012, only with fewer words. Getting old is tough, kids. Leave a Comment to Alexa (Ladies Making Comics)	cc/2021-04/en_middle_0036.json.gz/line253

Verizon was the only major carrier in the United States to impose a locked bootloader on the device. With the locked bootloader, you will not be able to join in on the Galaxy S III’s Jelly Bean/Cyanogenmod 10 fun. Why doesn’t Verizon want you to be able to unlock your phone’s bootloader? The tool released by AdamOutler offers what is almost a one-click bootloader unlock. But there’s a catch. The easy-to-use tool is only available for Mac and Linux. In the usual condescending geek talk, AdamOutler tells Windows users that while the tool may work in Windows, “please, windows users.. learn to use your computer before you ask questions on XDA-Developers. This is one-click on Linux and Mac every darn time.” While it may seem like it’s every time for the developers, a new root often the beginner’s first exposure to the confusing world of bootloaders, ROMs, and Android modding. Every enthusiast has to start somewhere. At any rate, AdamOutler suggests using the Windows Ubuntu Installer if you need a build of Linux just to flash your phone’s bootloader. I’m a fan of Ubuntu, and the software’s designed to be intuitive for typical PC users. Once you’re ready to run the Verizon GS3 Casual unlocker, just download the file and then select “root with DebugFSRoot” and then press “Do It.” Next select “Flash Unsecure Aboot” and press “Do It” again. At this point your phone should be compatible with Clockworkmod and Odin. You might be interesting in checking out the Cyanogenmod 10 version of Jelly Bean for the Samsung Galaxy S III. Just follow the instructions in this article using the Verizon CWM bootloader and the “VZW” version of the Cyanogenmod 10 ROM. It’s not quite a one-click operation, but it’s close. Keep in mind that Galaxy S III ROMs are carrier specific. If you don’t want to brick your device, make sure you use ROMs that have been labelled for “Verizon” or “VZW.” Share your thoughts in the comments section below.

April is going all out with the great news, as if you think Fix It Felix Jr. for the C64 was a rather special announcement, then Raid Over Moscow on the Amiga will have your jaws hitting the floor. Yes indeed this amazing 8bit game of which we have announced as coming to the Amiga, has finally been released by Pixelglass Games; a great game that was originally released in the early 80's for the C64, Atari 8-bit, Amstrad CPC, BBC Micro, ZX Spectrum and Apple II. Released during the Cold War era, Raid Over Moscow is an all time classic game and the developers second best-selling Commodore game as of late 1987, after Beach-Head. Raid Over Moscow is also an action game; a game in which the player (an American space pilot) has to stop three Soviet nuclear attacks on North America, then fight his way into and destroy a nuclear facility located in Moscow's Kremlin. According to the game's story line, the United States is unable to respond to the attack directly due to the dismantlement of its nuclear arsenal. It's incredible to think it was only at the tail end of last year Raid Over Moscow was teased for the Amiga as a public downloadable beta, that was enjoyed by a number of our retro fans including Amiga Bill and even Pintz & Amiga. But today's news is something special indeed! As thanks to an early morning heads up by our good friend Earok , we now know the full version is here, complete with three difficulty levels, a modern control scheme, a full length soundtrack, six scenes of white knuckle action and all supported for 68K Amigas, 1MB and up as a faithful adaptation of the C64 classic, completing an unfinished port by Adrian Cummings and US Gold!

That growing tide of indifference led me to pass on Altar of Plagues' White Tomb, despite a boatload of acclaim. News that the band would cross the Atlantic for a North American tour this summer eventually nudged me to check out the EP of which we speak. Tides flipped my dinghy on the first listen, tossing my black metal ennui overboard. These two songs (clocking in at 36 minutes) will dump you straight into the fathomless freezing depths to ponder the Pyrrhic victory that is existence. “Atlantic Light” is possessed of a tonality that rolls like a tolling bell. To my ears, these riffs manage to transcend the atmospheric black metal norm, rolling along in grand melodic gestures that are propelled by the steady drumming. There's not even that much distortion on the guitars, but that's irrelevant. There is an emotional power here that's immersive and immense. I'm fascinated by the guitar stylings on these tracks; the subtle distortion lays bare the tremolo picked notes that would otherwise blend together into a wave of noise. There are some moments when I'm positively blown away by the maelstrom of melodies that flow from these guitars. Tides is a journey through melancholy and rage with no lifeboat. Part of the appeal of these tracks is the transposition of traditional black metal screeches with semi-sung/screamed vocals that exude a crushing hopelessness. The lyrics to “Atlantic Light” are a fascinating meditation on the mighty ocean and mankind's unceasing quest to drain it of life. “The Weight of it All” dwells in the same emotional space, pondering our ability to blissfully ignore weighty matters. At no point during these two expansive tracks does my attention wander. I personally consider the word “drone” to be a epithet in metal, and these songs do no such thing for me. As with any decent exploration of atmospheric black metal, the excellent drumming is a cornerstone of the songs' dynamics. “The Weight Of It All” contains the lion-share of blastbeats, navigating through a bleak tempest with a coxswain's discipline and a pleasantly organic drum sound. In retrospect, Tides is much less produced than White Tomb, and I think that's part of its allure. An excellent interview with James Kelly (over at Brooklyn Vegan) provided quite a bit of insight into the spirit of this EP and also transcribes the lyrics. White Tomb obviously grew on me and is now a cherished brick in my metal wall, but Tides holds sway over my attention. This is the music that will be playing when my ship is crushed on the shoals of life. Altar of Plagues are also mind-blowing in a live setting, as I found out here. Altar of Plagues Black Metal Burning World shanitawain 9/03/2010 5:34 AM A good writing style and information is certainly useful. For all readers continue to write such excellent articles. Thank you. limuzyna wynajem SPna15 9/10/2010 11:47 PM I am somewhat hesitant about this EP. Perhaps hesitant isn't the right word... Let us say I had mixed feelings. It still has a lot of the atmosphere of White Tomb that I loved, but I'm not so sure about how much it's strayed from that album stylistically. More listens are what is required. atanamar 9/11/2010 12:18 AM @SPna15 I can completely see folks having mixed feelings about this EP coming after White Tomb. I'm all mixed up and backwards in that regard, but perhaps it's also a liberating point of view. There's certainly a stylistic difference; of that there's no doubt. I also just have weird preferences in black metal, I think.	cc/2021-04/en_middle_0036.json.gz/line280

PAUL, MNAugust 22, 2019 St. Paul Saints manager George Tsamis has seen a lot in his managerial career. On Thursday night at U.S. Steel Yard he was at the helm for his 2,000th game in his career and his team gutted out a 3-2 victory over the Gary SouthShore Railcats for their ninth consecutive victory. It was also the teams eighth straight road win, tying a regular season franchise high with the 2015 and 2016 teams. Both those teams made the playoffs and Tsamis is hoping his 2019 squad can do the same. The Saints improved to 56-33 on the season and are 2.5 games behind the Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks for the top spot in the North Division, but have a 3.0 game lead on the Chicago Dogs for the second playoff spot with 11 to go. Saints starter Eddie Medina, who entered play with the second best ERA in the league, was magnificent and was perfect for 3.1 innings before walking MJ Rookard with one out in the fourth. Rookard would steal second and move to third on the throwing error by catcher Mike Aiello. Medina would strikeout Randy Santiesteban and get All-Star Colin Willis to foul out to end the inning. In the fifth, the Saints got on the board against RailCats starter Justin Sinibaldi, who entered play with the sixth best ERA in the league. Chesny Young led off with a single to right-center and Blake Schmit walked. With the RailCats expecting a bunt and the wheel play on (where the third baseman charges and the shortstop goes to cover third), Mike Aiello swung away and sent an RBI base hit up the middle giving the Saints a 1-0 lead. Aiello took second on the throw to third. With runners at second and third, Dan Motl's ground out to short scored Schmit and the Saints led 2-0. Medina had one bad inning and it came in the bottom of the fifth. With one out he walked back-to-back hitters and then hit Jackson Smith to load the bases. Marcus Mooney singled down the left field line scoring two runs and tying the game at two. Michael Blatchford followed with a single to load the bases, but Medina got Rookard to ground into an inning ending double play. In the sixth the RailCats threatened again as Alex Crosby singled with two outs. He advanced to second on a wild pitch and took third when Aiello's throw down to second skipped into center field. Medina got Ray Jones to hit a line drive to right that Michael Lang made a sliding catch on to end the inning. Medina went 8.0 innings allowing two runs on three hits while walking three and striking out seven. The Saints regained the lead in the seventh when Schmit reached on an infield single to third. That was the last batter Sinibaldi faced as Andrew Cartier came out of the bullpen. Schmit would steal second and advanced to third on a wild pitch. A walk to Aiello put runners at the corners. Motl notched his second RBI of the night with a sacrifice fly to left making it 3-2. In the ninth Ken Frosch began the inning and hit the lead off man Willis. He would steal second and advance to third on a groundout. Then the play of the game occurred. With the infield in Jones hit a ground ball to the second baseman Allen who charged, and threw on the run to the plate to get Willis for the second out. Karch Kowalczyk took over for Frosch and got Andy DeJesus to ground out to third to end the game. The same two teams meet in the finale of the three-game series on Friday night at 7:10 p.m. The Saints send LHP Jordan Jess (6-0, 3.47) to the mound against RailCats LHP Seth Hougesen (3-3, 5.36).

The story begins with the aromatic juniper berry originally used by the Dutch to flavour the whisky-like genever. The drink then made its way to Britain, where cheap imitations laced with turpentine and other caustic fillers made it the drink of choice for poor eighteenth-century Londoners. Eventually replaced by the sweetened Old Tom style and then by London Dry, gin was introduced to the wider world by means of the British Empire, and during the Jazz Age became a mainstay of a new drinking culture: the cocktail. Today classic cocktails like the Gimlet and the Negroni are embraced by drinkers who enjoy a new breed of modern gins, and gin has reclaimed pride of place in the world of mixology. Gin: A Global History will attract both cocktail aficionados and lovers of food history as it chronicles gin’s evolution from cheap liquor to modern alcoholic marvel. ‘The Gin, volume seems particularly well-timed the spirit is enjoying a US renaissance. Author Lesley Jacobs Solmonson brings us through gins history at a blistering pace that manages to satisfy with plenty of drama and botanicals. Somerset Maugham, Dorothy Parker, The Dutch East India Company, and Robert Benchley (I must get out of these wet clothes and into a dry martini.) all get their due.’ — Boston Globe ‘The author of this effervescent little history traces modern gins origins (as the Dutch drink genever) and its subsequent use for medicinal purposes and in the military (Dutch courage), and its demonisation during the London gin panic. Never again, the author writes wistfully, would the city of London be as consistently intoxicated as it was between 1720 and 1751.’ — The Guardian ‘Solmonson traces the spirits appearance in written English to an 18th-century tract that called it a fiery Lake that sets the Brain in Flame, burns up the Entrails, and scorches every Part within. Sounds about right.’ — New York Times Style magazine ‘This is a fascinating little book crammed with intriguing facts and topped off with cocktail recipes with names like corpse reviver. It makes a person very thirsty . . . for knowledge, of course.’ — The Daily Telegraph, Sydney ‘I have well over half a dozen books on the history of gin on my bookshelf, and yet there always seems to be more that needs to be said. Ms. Solmonsons brilliant little tome takes its place among the best. It truly is a global history, focusing on the development of gin styles from sweet and malty to dry and crisp, along with relevant period illustrations giving the reader a broad sense of just how important gin has been in the world of spirits. After the well researched facts have been laid out, there are a few appendices which are of especial value . . . A very nice volume in an ongoing series dedicated to all things edible and libatious.’ — GoodSpiritsNews.com ‘Gin: A Global History and Vodka: A Global History are two delicious, well-mixed cocktails of history and booze. The first thing I learned from these books is alcohols long-lasting dual effect on society . . . I also learned that every kind of liquor has its own story. In these handsomely bound little volumes, part of the Edible series from Reaktion Books, the authors retell the centuries-long and always fascinating stories of vodka and gin.’ — The Inquisitive Eater ‘Food writer Solmonson balances the kind of context and detail that will appeal to serious readers with accessible prose, chronicling the evolution of gin as medicine, as a threat to the health and industry of the British lower classes, as staple of the British fleet, and as star of the gin martini.’ — Library Journal ‘A colourful history of the liquor from drink of choice for the poor to modern cocktail essential.’ — Your Family History Lesley Jacobs Solmonson is a food writer and co-founder of 12bottlebar.com, a site devoted to classic cocktails.

Pre-Clinical CT Fast scan times and an innovative design minimize the X-ray dose, allowing repeated scanning of individuals during a study. Field-of-view can be varied mechanically, increasing resolution for smaller scan sizes without affecting scan time. Real-time control of scanning in response to physiological events such as respiration is supported by an optional monitoring and gating unit Clinical –Miro CT High-resolution MicroCTsystem that combines high-speed scanning, low X-ray dose and true 3D analysis to provide a unique solution for clinical monitoring and treatment of osteoporosis patients Specimen- MicroCT High-resolution, non-destructive 3D imaging of specimens in vitro. µCT systems are used worldwide to study diverse materials ranging from bone and scaffolds to concrete or even (with additional cooling) snow and ice crystals Roadshow –Standard Imaging QA and Macromedics Patient positioning systems on January 2017 Saudi Health Exhibition-2017 Arab Health 2017-Dubai Roadshow-Phenom World SEM and Scanco MicroCT from 27th November to 1st December 2016 Participated in ASTRO-BOSTON 2016: Largest radiotherapy conference in the United States.

__label__cc	0.668793	0.331207	Once upon a time there were three old men who set out in a sailing boat. The weather was fine and the wind was gently wafting them along. They were in the company of other old men, some guided by younger people who were also sailing contentedly along in the pleasant conditions. Then, slowly but surely, the wind become stronger and started to come from different directions. This upset the balance of some of the old men who, up until this point, were chatting to each other about their children’s exploits and about retirement plans. A gust of wind caught a few of these old men unawares turning their vertical sailing orientation into a horizontal one (in the manner of keel suddenly falling off). At this point the chatty conversation ceased and was replaced by groaning and other audible communication strategies, some of which they would not have allowed their children to copy in a public setting. In due course equilibrium was restored and the conversation continued as before, that is until the next challenge to forward progress occurred. It all sounds a little like the story of life really. You think everything is going fine then, all of a sudden, it can turn to #@$%, and just as quickly return to what might be considered normal. How about the impressive roll up of boats for the final championship race of the season? The day attracted five starters and one crew doing an experimental sail to see if their boat was competitive, and it certainly was. Welcome back to Rob Lawler and family aboard Hardware for the second time this season. They certainly sailed Hardware impressively in the light and variable condition - making it look easy. I don’t quite know why but, to me at least, it brings a feeling of joy to see the return of successful skippers like Rob Lawler, ably supported by a crew of family members, Suzy, Meg and Jarrod, sailing extremely well and enjoying their time together on the water. The same can be said of new campaigners like Richard and Astrid. We have all reaped the benefits of competitive club sailing and know that a supportive environment like Port Kembla Sailing Club is the quickest and safest way to improve your boat handling skills and enjoyment of sailing. So we welcome new and returning members and would like to encourage their regular participation in club races. It takes a while to get the feel for a boat, and at least on this season’s performance, Digger and Danny are starting to get the best out of Grey Fox. On corrected time there are only a couple of minutes between first and last. Championship 8 Results: For the long course, first on corrected time was Nirvana 7 sailed by Rebecca, Keith and Rudy, second was Frou Frou sailed by Alan, Peter and Trevor, and third was Grey Fox sailed by Digger and Danny. Short course first on corrected time was Hardware sailed by Rob, Suzzy, Meg and Jarrod, and second was Magella sailed by Richard and Astrid. Pointscore 24 Results: For the long course, first on handicap was Grey Fox, second Nirvana and third Frou Frou. For the short course, first on handicap was Hardware and second was M Ross 780 States 14 – 15 April (Report from our roving reporter Jim Curry) The Ross 780 States held last weekend on Jervis Bay attracted four entrants, one from Bathurst, one from Newcastle, one from St Georges Basin, and of course Rosstered Off from PKSC. Four short races were sailed on Saturday with the scheduled races on Sunday cancelled due to a lack of wind. Saturday’s short courses resulted in very close racing with seconds separating first and last at the finish of each race. It sounded like a good event so lets hope it can build and be better patronised in years to come, unless we all move to Queensland where all the others seem to live Coming event: Race 4 TY Travellers Series 28 April 2012 On 28 April Race 4, the final race of the TY Travellers series will be held. The race organised by Wollongong Yacht club will start at Port Kembla Harbour, sail around the Five Islands and finish in Wollongong Harbour, Belmore Basin. This sounds like a very exciting event. Boats will be travelling from Lake Macquarie and Sussex inlet to compete and given how well PKSC TY’s are doing so far, I hope that as many as possible will continue supporting the TY Travellers Series and sail in this event. Entries can be made on line at the Wollongong Yacht Club website athttp://www.wyc.yachting.org.au/?Page=58472 See you all next Saturday for the final Pointscore race of the season. TY Delegates Report for the Easter weekend I hope you all had a very enjoyable Easter holiday break and are now chomping at the bit to get back in to the water. Some of us of course will be winding down towards the end of the season. However there are 2 important club races to go, including the final Championship event on 21 April. The Ross 780 States are also scheduled for this coming weekend on Jervis Bay. Good luck and lots of success to Rosstered Off and crew sailing in the State Titles. We will be all very interested to hear how the event turned out. I worked hard during the Easter break putting Frou Frou’s centreboard back together in time for this coming weekends Pointscore event. It will be very disappointing if we are the only ones who turn up. See you at the club this Saturday	cc/2021-04/en_middle_0036.json.gz/line297

But in the course of a century, almost half has disappeared. Rob Bell follows six more abandoned rail routes, each of which tells its own story of an area once served by our glorious railways, and how the world has changed since. Rob goes in search of a remarkable railway line – one that cut an outrageous path through the dramatic hills and gorges of the Peak District – part of the 1860s express route between London and Manchester. From Matlock to the spa town splendour of Buxton, Rob unearths a tale of Victorian ambition, as he travels along a route filled with great engineering, which is now a beloved part of the Peak District National Park. After hopping aboard the heritage ‘Peak Rail’, a short stretch of line preserved for steam trains, Rob visits Bakewell before cutting a path along the hugely popular Monsal Trail, where he cycles a stretch of the old railway through cuttings, a 500-yard tunnel and the glorious Headstone Viaduct. But this picture postcard landscape is littered with the remnants of even older industry. The railway not only served passengers, but local cotton mills, and the Derbyshire limestone quarries. Just outside Buxton, Rob discovers one site still in operation – it’s so big, a short stretch of the railway has been kept open just to service it. Sunday 9th February, 8pm Epsiode stephanie@plankpr.com Never Seen a Doctor tells the stories of thousands of men and women across the country who have spectacularly neglected their health. They may have a fear of doctors or dentists, concern over the financial outlay, or simply haven't had the strength to confront their health problems. But now with the support of presenter Katie Piper and our specialist team they're going to discover that by confronting their worries they can radically transform their lives for the better, in far less time than they thought. This week, Katie meets a woman who’s been using moulded chewing gum to try and disguise her damaged front teeth, a keen marathon runner unaware of the damage his varicose veins could do to his health and a young woman struck by a virus that has paralysed the side of her face. In Essex, Sue’s fear of the dentist has led her to resort to some innovative DIY dentistry to disguise serious damage to her front teeth. In Lincolnshire, IT director Robin’s family have nicknamed his problematic varicose vein ‘the snake.’ Can they persuade him to see a doctor? In Sussex, 18 year old Josh is still dealing with the aftermath of burns left by a spilt cup of tea when he was a toddler. In Cornwall 20 year old Lily was struck by a sudden ‘Bell’s Palsy’ or paralysis to one side of her face. The palsy may improve over time but in the meantime it’s left Lily with a worrying side effect. And in Wales, Dave has discovered an unlikely treatment that may offer a life-changing cure for a birthmark on his face known as Venous Malformation. Friday 14th February, 10pm Grime legend Big Narstie and his comedian co-pilot Mo Gilligan continue the third series of their late-night anarchic chat, comedy and music show. Featuring more celebrity guests, more music performances, more straight talking and plenty more laugh-out-loud sketches, the award-winning show will continue to break every chat-show rule in the book - so expect the unexpected. Special guests joining Narstie and Mo for the second episode include Jesy Nelson, Jade Thirlwall and Leigh-Anne Pinnock from Little Mix, Joel Dommett, Samson Kayo and M Huncho. Friday 14th February, 11:05pm We’ve all been on a diet at one point or other in our lives, and with the rise of social media, there’s no getting away from the fact that we’re all under more pressure than ever before to look good. When done right, diets can have positive health benefits as well as being life affirming. However, when done wrong they can end in disaster. In this 60 minute special, narrated by Claire Sweeney, we have first-hand accounts from real people whose diets ended up deeply affecting their lives. Highlights include a young juicer, Clare, whose body reacted badly to her liquid-only diet. There’s ripped thirtysomething Joe, a young fitness fanatic wound up with kidney stones after extreme ‘bulking up’. Another dieter, Lexi went from a size 14 to a size 6 in an attempt to look good in her wedding dress. Her diet spiralled out of control and her weight plummeted, but Lexi was so tired and ill she burst into tears at the slightest thing and to top it all her husband left her. When Paul lost his mum he spiralled into a world of anxiety, depression and comfort eating. At his heaviest, Paul was a whopping 51 stone. For health reasons, he decided to have a gastric band fitted and lost a staggering 30 stone. The trouble is, now, he’s left with 3 stone of excess skin which he cannot get removed on the NHS. Even after his weight loss transformation, Paul says he is ashamed to look at himself in the mirror. Writer Eve opens up about the pressures of working in the fashion industry surrounded by “perfect” bodies. Her story involves her taking on-board so-called fad diets via social media. Influenced by online wellness stars peddling questionable nutrition advice, Eve culled her favourite foods such as bread, milk and meat and got so poorly she feared she would suffer a sudden heart attack. Plus, there’s the tragic tale of Eloise Parry, well-documented in the press back in 2018, as she had been addicted to toxic slimming pills containing dinitrophenol (DNP). We have an exclusive interview with her sister Becky who opens up about her late sister’s obsession with her diet. Expert interviews include GP Dr Ellie Cannon, workout queen Rosemary Conley, fitness expert Kris Boyson and celebrities Nadia Sawalha, Ampika Pickston and former Big Brother star, Josie Gibson.

Dougie has been concentrating on the Rhodesian Bush War (1964-79), while I’ve been working on the Borneo Confrontation (1962-66). Force on Force games are nice and quick – just what you want in a skirmish game. We opted for a typical encounter of the “confrontation), where a helicopter had dropped off a small unit of Gurkhas (a single squad of two fireteams), who took up ambush positions in the path of an Indonesian raiding party, which was returning to the Sarawak-Indonesia border after raiding a Sarawak Kampong (village). The Indonesian column consisted of two squads of IBTs (Indonesian Border Terrorists), which sort of equate to the local Viet Cong, and two squads of Indonesian regulars. The raiders were marching along a dried-up stream bed when they ran into the ambush. In the first turn the first Gurkha fire team opened up on the second squad in the column – IBTs – killing or wounding four of them. The other three Indonesian squads ran for cover, with one IBT squad attempting to keep out of line of sight of the ambushers, while offering succour to their wounded comrades. The leading squad of Indonesian regulars advanced through the secondary jungle, only to be sprayed by the second Gurkha fire team, which wiped them out. Then it was simply a matter of picking off the Indonesian survivors, as the remaining regular squad started a firefight that it lost – badly – and the remaining IBT squad broke and ran. The ambush rules worked really well, and when good troops (D10-rated Gurkhas) get a first fire through being in ambush, the results can be truly devastating!

Over 100 Garda cars are equipped to scan number plates and cross-check them against the motor insurance database – but the system has not been used for the past two years, because the motor insurance database was not up to date and was wrongly flagging almost 1.1 million of the 2.4 million vehicles on the road as having no insurance. But now the government is going to change the road traffic laws to require insurance companies to provide more accurate information. This will include details of motorists who have made “part payments” to insure themselves for part of the year, which was a particular problem under the old system. Insurers will also have to provide the details of all named drivers on a policy. It is estimated that uninsured drivers account for 5-6 per cent of those on the roads, and that they cost around €50-60 million per year in insurance company payouts. This has to be funded by a general levy on all motor insurance premiums. Last year, gardaí prosecuted around 29,500 people for driving without insurance. Independent TD Michael Fitzmaurice welcomed the new system but called for new ideas to reduce the high cost of insurance for young drivers. He said a speed limiter could be installed in their cars to restrict them to 80 kilometres per hour in return for lower premiums. “You have to give youngsters a fair chance to have a start in life. The prices they are quoting are enticing them to walk away from insurance,” he said. Garda cars are still able to use their automatic number plate recognition cameras to detect stolen and untaxed cars, as well as those owned by known criminals. A Garda spokesman said it was working with the insurance industry and the Department of Transport to advance the new motor industry database. The recent report from the Department of Finance’s motor insurance costs working group highlighted the potential impact of using the automatic number plate recognition cameras system with the upgraded motor insurance database. It said robust Garda enforcement against uninsured drivers should result in significant annual savings on payouts to victims of collisions involving uninsured drivers. The PARC road safety group said that the road safety legislation needed to be upgraded to also ensure there was a more accurate record of disqualified drivers on the state’s separate national driver and vehicle database.

__label__cc	0.64224	0.35776	Why Use Microformats? I’ve written numerous times about how and why to code Microformats into the webpages of local businesses (see here, here and here), yet the question keeps coming up — “Should I spend the time and effort on integrating Microformats into my site’s pages?” Just during the past couple of weeks, the question has arisen yet again, and along with it there was an additional development which further emphasizes why it’s a good thing and why webmasters should be incorporating the protocol sooner than later. More on this in a minute. I believe I was likely the first to ever propose using hCard Microformats as a component of local search engine optimization, back in 2006 (see: Tips for Local Search Engine Optimization). Back then, I had seen how Microformats were begining to take off, and I saw indications of converging trends: the sharp interest from the major search engines in local search and yellow-pages-like functionality; the increasing uses for types of open formats and extensible semantic tagging; and, most telling of all, the involvement of a number of key technologists from within Yahoo! in the Microformats movement. I knew that as search engines attempt to match up websites which they crawl with more formal, local business listing data, they would encounter some difficulties in using algorithms to interpret the data properly. Questions such as: What is the street address of this business webpage? What is the Business Name vs. other text on the page? What is the Street Name vs. the City Name? Other questions arise as well, since website designers mostly design towards their human audience rather than algorithms attempting to interpret meaning from raw data. For instance, what Business Category should this local business website be associated with? Like other forms of semantic markup, Microformatting labels webpage content behind the scenes, specifically telling what each piece of data is while still displaying the webpage normally for human users. If webpages of local businesses were to incorporate hCard Microformatting, I reasoned, then search engines would have an easier time of associating the sites with map locations and business directory listings. Further, if a site contained such markup, the search engine could have a higher degree of confidence in accurately normalizing their data and matching up with user queries, so such pages could potentially rank better in the future. However, when I introduced the idea, I was not aware of any search engine that was specifically seeking out this type of semantic data. While some Yahoo! personnel were throwing support behind the movement, there was no clear indication that their search engine would seek out specially labeled data fields nor treat them any differently. Still, there were additional reasons for using the Microformats: they provided additional functionality for some devices and for users who installed special applications to read such content out of pages in order to easily make use of it. A great example would be the Operator Toolbar for Firefox which could allow a user to easily copy out the contact details from a webpage and save it into an address book, quite similar to how vCard electronic business card info can be transfered and harvested easily from email notes (vCard is supported by such mainstream applications as Microsoft Outlook). The Yahoo! Local search team obviously believed that people could find Microformatting potentially useful, because they incorporated it into their Local Search results earlier in 2006. Further supporting my prediction that this was an important and growing protocol, Google subsequently immitated Yahoo by incorporating hCard Microformats in Google Map search results in 2007. Meanwhile, at conferences and via email, many individuals asked me whether Google Maps was “reading” Microformats from webpages. I’d spoken with a few Google engineers during this period, and they answered pretty uniformly: if sufficient numbers of sites made use of this, they’d almost certainly incorporate it as yet another signal in local search data. I knew that there really wasn’t “sufficient numbers” of sites incorporating it yet, but I continued to see indications that the protocol was growing as a trend, and a number of other optimization experts also threw weight behind supporting it as a component of good, local site design. So, I’d still have to truthfully answer, “no, it’s not any sort of factor that will directly make your pages rank any higher, BUT, you should make use of it anyway!” In most of the cases of local info pages I analyze on the web, it seemed like integrating the Microformats should be relatively low-impact in terms of development effort required. In the Spring of last year, Microformats may have finally achieved a tipping point when Yahoo! announced the release of their innovative Search Monkey development platform. SearchMonkey allowed developers to somewhat customize the display of their site’s listings when they appeared in Yahoo’s keyword search results. More to the point, SearchMonkey showed us that Yahoo’s bot and content processing systems could and did read in Microformats from webpages along with other structured data protocols including RDF and DataRSS. While this did not prove that Microformatting influences rankings in Yahoo! Local, it showed that an important step had been reached in a major search engine which could enable the protocol to be a ranking and normalizing factor in local search. Now fast-forward to the present in 2009, and the question of whether to use Microformats is still getting posed to search marketing experts. On May 4th, someone asked well-known SEO, Michael Gray whether hCard and other Microformats matter for SEO. I think Michael gave a pretty well-reasoned answer overall, although I believe Microformat protocols are just about excruciatingly simpler than he represents, and I think there’s some good reasons to not be quite as conservative about using them as he suggests. First of all, I believe the main advantages to using Microformats are: They can help search engines identify Business Name, Address, Phone, and Categories on webpages. Variations in formatting on various sites can contribute to misassociation of data elements. Imagine “Houston’s Restaurant on Dallas Street in Paris, Texas”. If an algorithm is attempting to interpret this in order to index the business/site, how does it know for certain what element is name vs. street address vs. city? They can help search engines in associating the website with their listings within the engine’s directory listings content — a vital step in “canonicalizing” business information. Google gets business listings from data aggregators and business directory partners, and they have to associate all the various sources of data for a particular business location with a single business listing. This is not a simple activity! Differences in ways a business name is spelled, different ways addresses are written, and different phone numbers all can result in businesses’ listings getting duplicated and diluted in ranking ability within Google Maps. So, having Microformats on your business webpage could help it get properly associated with directory listings already within Google. Microformats facilitate the ease by which users can copy off a business’s contact information to store in their address books and elsewhere. Microformats could also help open up content for use by other developers in unforseen and advantageous ways. For instance, by including the longitude and latitude of your business address in your pages, others can easily port the precise location over to the mapping app of their choice — if left up to just using the street address, mapping systems can frequently make significant errors. It’s just not all that hard to add them to sites which display addresses of local places. Some very simple development and coding which could be done within just an hour or two are all that’s required for most sites. Google actually does a pretty good job of “canonicalizing” classic business listing data from local biz websites, so if my theories on why it could be beneficial for SEO in the future are correct, there are a lot of sites where it likely wouldn’t have all that much impact upon performance even if/after Google begins recognizing it as a local site search signal. It could help them collapse dupe listings down to a single one, which could boost that listing’s ranking weight. But, for businesses with already easy-to-interpret addresses or where Google hasn’t had difficulty in grouping related listings together, it likely wouldn’t have any ranking effect whatsoever. As of just last week, there’s an even more compelling reason to incorporate Microformats, though: Google is following close upon the heals of Yahoo again and has announced that they’re introducing “Rich Snippets” in Google search results pages — essentially the Rich Snippets are more enhanced search result listings, allowing the display of star ratings and the numbers of reviews for content on the pages. Similar to Yahoo’s SearchMonkey which allowed some customization of search listings, Google is allowing this special content display initially for pages which incorporate hReviews Microformat. Many of us theorized that Yahoo’s SearchMonkey could be potentially advantageous to sites, since search result listings which look different can stand out from the crowd, attract more users’ notice, and therefor have a greater chance of being clicked upon. Indeed, subsequent research showed that SearchMonkey’s special listing treatment could increase CTR by 15%! There’s every reason to believe that display enhancements likely could improve CTR within Google search results as well, so there are great incentives to adopt the hReview protocol for those sites which have reviews and ratings content. This is only the first stage of Google’s work in Rich Snippets, however, and it’s pretty certain that Google will introduce more types of structured data into special display within search result listings. hCard and hCalendar content are some top candidates poised for imminent introduction when Google expands this. We’re now seeing adoption of hCard in even some high-popularity sites such as Twitter now, so it may be time to actually declare Microformats to be “mainstream”! So you see, there are compelling reasons to use Microformatting in the here-and-now, rather than putting it off. It’s generally not difficult to implement, it enhances site functionality for good user-experience, it generally won’t interfere with existing graphic layout, it could eventually help in rankings, and it might soon help in terms of click-through rates or overall conversions.

I have only recently started to become interested in Microformatting and am totally sold on the idea. As you have illustrated, the possibilities for more precise organic search results using Microformats/RDFa is fantastic. David Mihm on May 20, 2009 at 2:18 pm said: Terrific post, Chris. I agree that microformats are still too geeky for mainstream but for those of us who know about them, they’re definitely a best practice, and Google and the other engines will only include them on an even greater basis going forward.

I’d caught sight of Super A and Collin van der Sluijs ‘Starling’ on Colossal, produced through the not-for-profit initiative, and I was keen to see what other murals UN had helped bring to Berlin's streets. I’ve increasingly become fascinated by urban art, which is a hugely important and increasingly admired 21st century art form, capable of bringing cities to life and allowing people to find expression within the very fabric of places. Bülowstraße didn’t disappoint, but inspired a deeper curiosity about URBAN NATION and its mission, so I got in touch with director Yasha Young to find out more. Eat, Walk, See – A snippet of New York Musings about my favourite places in NYC - from restaurants to galleries and city wanderings, including The Quarter, WILD, Keen's Steakhouse, Norma's, Izakaya NoMad, The Highline, MOMA and street art. New York, New York: The City of Dreams? The Big Apple. The City of Dreams. The City that never sleeps. Whatever you call it, New York’s reputation is as giant as the buildings which shape its skyline, so I headed there with nothing but great expectations. Scenes of the city have dominated the TV programmes of my adolescence: Friends, Sex and the City, Gossip Girl; the list is endless. Images of iconic sights like The Empire State Building and Grand Central Station were ingrained in my mind, and I was excited to see them in real life. Undeniably they were impressive, as is most of the architecture of the city: The Flatiron building, The Chrysler Building, the new Freedom Tower. As standalone buildings I appreciated their magnificence, but rammed in amongst other brick and mortar giants, tens of storeys high? It made me feel woozy. New York turns you into a tiny ant in a city built for giants, and for me I couldn’t find inspiration in that. Artificial wind tunnels bellowing through the dense city, churning up dust and throwing it into the eyes of its residents didn’t get me leaping for joy. Nor did loss of light caused by looming skyscapers, relentlessly busy roads, motorists that honk at literally any excuse, and acrid smells steaming up through street vents. And don’t even get me started on the waiter that demanded an even bigger tip (and no, that’s not the Yorkshire in me.) User offline: Trust icon Banksy isn't the only street artist keeping his identity under wraps - South East London street artist Trust Icon's identity also remains unknown, but since 2009 his works have emerged on the streets of London and beyond to great acclaim. Walking to work this morning I spotted a new addition to Queen's Park station's street art spot...I've had my eye on it for a while waiting for something snap-worthy. Today was the day! The question is, what is he trying to say with his new work? capturing the essence: street artist dan kitchener Essex-born street artist Dan Kitchener (DANK) caught my eye a year or so ago with ‘Euphoria’ on Great Eastern Street, Shoreditch. I was impressed by his use of light and colour, and how realistic his work was; it captured the essence of city living, the busy-ness of commuting. I got in touch with Dan to talk about his work and to hear what inspires him... What a HOOT! : Eccentric Events and Innovative Tech 2015 has seen the weird and wonderful come to London – owl pop-up cafes, a food museum complete with butterfly house, a cereal café, a bar with breathable alcohol, and chemical cocktail cooking, amongst others. One person making waves in the events industry is Seb Lyall, founder of app Locappy and dubbed ‘one to watch’ by Talent International, Richard Branson and WIRED. He is also curator of a number of ad hoc innovative events under the Lollipop/ABQ umbrella. In April 2015 he brought the Annie the Owl pop-up event to Soho, which was a chance for Londoners to meet and learn about six feathered friends, receiving free canapés and smoothies on arrival. the city Canvas: street art An ongoing documentary of the ever evolving street art of cities visited, mostly the streets of London but also Leeds, Brighton, Amsterdam, Vienna and beyond.

Images: Sarah Moor Hampstead Pergola: North London’s Hidden Gem Hampstead Heath is well-known for its natural beauty and tranquility, but an even more peaceful spot is a lesser-known gem located nearby. Overlooking West Heath stands Hampstead Hill and Pergola; The Hill (now Inverforth House) was an Edwardian mansion owned by Lord Leverhulme. The wealthy idealist dreamed of a pergola (a raised walkway) to compliment his home, and set about the build between 1905 and 1925. The opulent site came complete with exotic plants and acres of nature, and was to be the location of many a garden party. Now owned by London County Council, it has been open to the public since 1963 and is undergoing continued renovation. To this day the pergola offers stunning views of the surrounding beautiful gardens, perfectly landscaped. Quite literally off the beaten track, it isn’t the easiest place to find, but it’s well worth the effort. Eerily quiet and still, its grandeur may have faded, but its perfection has not. Of Soil and Water: Kings Cross Pond Club North of Kings Cross in the most unlikely of places sits a piece of nature amidst the developing urban sprawl, a natural ecosystem side by side with a working construction site. It’s name? Of Soil and Water, perhaps more commonly referred to as Kings Cross Pond Club. This man-made fresh water public bathing pond is the UK’s first of its kind and it sits at the heart of one of the largest developments in London, up past Guardian’s HQ (King’s Place) and not a million miles from the celebrated Granary Square. The pond will be a main attraction within the Lewis Cubitt Park area of the King’s Cross development. Unlike Hampstead Heath, or London’s numerous lidos, this al fresco swimming spot has been described as ‘experiential art’, ‘land art’ and ‘an installation you can swim in’ amongst other things. Temporary though it might be, the labelling of the pond as art is intriguing given its clear function as a bathing pond. Wholly Trinity: Leeds Last week I ventured north to Yorkshire to spend two days in Leeds. Close to my hometown of Hull, Leeds used to be my family's shopping destination of choice, long before the days of Trinity Leeds, and long before before my appreciation of fashion full stop; as a grumpy teen I befriended many a fitting room chair in despair as my sister tried on her umpteenth outfit. Leeds also happens to be the city in which my university life was lived, and the place that shaped the opinions I hold true today. It turns out a place can change a lot in 4 years. When I graduated in 2011 the landscape of Leeds was different. I don’t ever remember stopping to admire Holy Trinity Church back then. I wasn’t a gig-goer and from what I can remember it spent much of the three years that I called Leeds home behind hoarding, an ambiguous dingy building which as far as I knew had nothing to offer me. Today it signifies the beating heart of Leeds city centre: Trinity Leeds, which boasts a strong retail, restaurant and bar offering. Place Technology	cc/2021-04/en_middle_0036.json.gz/line323

__label__cc	0.701651	0.298349	We Are On Our Way - Auckland to Nadi It has finally come - the day we head off to Fiji on our much anticipated trip. With Reverend Peter and Alan as well as Hayley accompanying members from our youth group, Niamh and Archer Walton, Ben McCullough and William Anderson, the team of 7 departed Auckland at 3:45pm travelling for Nadi. This was the first time out of the country for Ben, and the first time that Niamh and Archer both remember doing so. William, on the other hand, is a seasoned traveller and so could helpfully guide us all around the airport. In comparison to the mammoth Airbus A380, our Boeing 737-700 was a tiny aircraft with six of us taking up an entire row. Everyone enjoyed the flight, some got a sleep while others excitedly awaited every moment. For much of the flight there was nothing to see by sea. The sense of distance between New Zealand and Fiji setting in to some of the kids, especially as we showed a map of how far the rest of the world is, even by plane. As we drew nearer Fiji, however, we began to see the land. Fiji was a strange sight. On one side lush and green, on the other dry and predominantly brown. There were numerous fires all around the island, which we later learned were a mixture of rubbish burning and sugar cane field clearing, sugar cane remaining a staple cash crop in Fiji. On arrival in Nadi the thing everyone noticed was the heat. It was a humid 27 degrees as we departed the plane and walked onto the tarmac. Compared with the mild 21 when we departed Auckland, it all came as a shock. As we got through the airport, the heat and tiredness of the time was getting to us. That was made worse when we found that the van booking was not correct and so became stranded in Nadi. But you have to make lemon of lemonade sometimes and so we took the opportunity to book into the nearest, and also cheapest, hotel we could find and settled in for the night. This may have been a blessing in disguise as the hotel had a pool. As we all hurriedly got changed to have a swim, we realised we may not have survived the 4 hour drive to Suva on the same day as the flight. We set ourselves down for sleep later in the night to get as much rest as we could before setting off midday tomorrow to meet with our host families in Suva. While we're in Fiji, we will be undertaking the following projects: - Leading bible study and worship with St Mark's Youth. - Devotions with Bishop Kempthorne Memorial Primary School, Newtown - Painting and fencing work at St Christopher's Children Home. - Painting and cleaning work at St Mark's Parish, Newtown (our host church). - Visiting the community of Nadawa (said Nandawa) and painting their church, St Philip's. Amongst all that, we will be spending time with the young people of St Mark's, Newtown (many of whom visited us at Christ Church late in 2015) and with the wider church in the place. Some of the young people of Whangarei Anglican reflect on their trip to Fiji	cc/2021-04/en_middle_0036.json.gz/line334

Open Door Visions Tyrone Football Info Tyrone of To-day Supplementary Chapter. …and that’s the way it is e-café Sports Tyrone Daily Herald Archives Busy week for Tyrone Junior High basketball Post author By Rick Tyrone Junior High basketball team visited Bald Eagle Area, Tuesday, and hosted Bellefonte, Thursday and Roosevelt’s Rams Friday. The Eagle’s posted two victories of the three outings. The Eagle’s soundly defeated Bald Eagle Area 51-32 with an all around solid team effort led by Rich Stever’s 14, and Jared Templeton’s 12 points, followed by Jim Ferguson, Steve Franco, and JD Dorminy with eight points each. In the Bellefonte game, the Raiders had a total of ten field goals in the contest; five of them were treys, keeping them in the game up till the end. The Eagle’s had twice as many field goals, but only one three. Led by Jared Templeton’s game high 20 and Jim Ferguson’s nine points, they were the beneficiaries’ of a double figure day of assists from Rich Stever who sliced and diced the Bellefonte defense with dribble penetration the entire game. The Eagle’s defeated Bellefonte 41-31. The Roosevelt Rams rolled into town Friday and presented some tough match ups for the Eagles. One of them, 6-2 Connor Abram had ten of his game high 20 in the first four minutes of the first period as Roosevelt went out on a 12-2 run. Tyrone settled into the game however, and with less than two minutes remaining in the first half got back in the game trailing 20-16. Then entered match up problem number two, eighth grader Kenny Miller hit three treys in less than a minute pulling the claws out of the Eagles and putting the Ram’s up 29-16 at the half. He finished the game with 14 points. Rich Stever led the Eagle’s scoring with 13 points. The Ram’s went on to soundly defeat Tyrone 60-38. Tyrone’s B team also went two of three for the week. The Eagle’s defeated BEA 39-32, Bellefonte 49-41, and lost to Roosevelt 27-36. The Eagle’s were led by solid offensive efforts from Richard Crabtree. He scored 26, 24, and 21 points in the three games, and against Bellefonte lit up five three pointers in the fourth period alone. “Richard is only playing in three quarters of these games and putting up these numbers,” said coach Stever. “He is one of the best shooters we have on the Junior High team. His success is the result of one thing. A lot of hard work and practice.” The Eagle’s hosted Spring Cove Monday, and travel to Central Mountain Thursday to wrap up the basketball action this week. ← Respect Life March 2008: An unprecedented turnout → Bearcats use six pins to dominate Golden Eagles on wrestling mat Tyrone Daily Herald Archives (2,963) TyronePA News (10) © 2021 TyronePA.com	cc/2021-04/en_middle_0036.json.gz/line341
__label__cc	0.558363	0.441637	Short Corner RECAP: WEEKEND GERMAN ACTION Weekend Dutch action Weekend Belgian action What's stood out so far in the Copa? Michael Bradley was bad – but maybe that isn’t his fault KENYA BROWN - Monday, May 14, 2018 Bobby Wood and Hamburg said goodbye to the Bundesliga despite their win over Borussia Monchengladbach while John Brooks and Wolfsburg head to the pro-rel playoff after their win. Hamburg 2-1 Borussia Monchengladbach Goals from Aaron Hunt and Lewis Holtby would help Hamburg to a win over Borussia Monchengladbach at the Volksparkstadion, but it would not help them as they were relegated from the Bundesliga for the first time in their history. Wood started the game for Hamburg, seeing 71 minutes of action. It was a very tense atmosphere at the ground as the Hamburg supporters knew what was on the line. The team had been through this scenario on several occasions in the past and they were always able to survive. The host received a favorable call nine minutes into the contest when the referee pointed to the penalty spot after it was judged that the ball came off the arm of 'Gladbach midfielder Denis Zakaria. That allowed Hunt to step up and convert from the spot to give his team the lead. Josip Drmic would level the score in the 28th minute when a counter-attack from the visitors exposed Hamburg's risky tactics and the Swiss international buried the ball in the back of the net. The second half saw Hamburg with the advantage and Holtby finally restored their lead in the 63rd minute. A low cross from Tatsuya Ito found the German midfielder in the area and he one-timed his shot past goalkeeper Yann Sommer. Despite the lead, Hamburg would play the rest of the game with 10 men as the referee sent off Wood for his second yellow card following what he though was a reckless challenge on Christoph Kramer. A tough way to go down, but Hamburg fans will hope their team can bounce back up to the Bundesliga on the first attempt next season. Hamburg finishes the season in 17th place in the standings with 31 points. Wolfsburg 4-1 Koln Wolfsburg did more than enough to make sure that they will be playing in the promotion/relegation spot following their comfortable win over Koln at the Volkswagen Arena. BVB finishes in fourth place in the standings with 55 points. Brooks returned to the starting lineup for Wolfsburg in their winning effort. The host were on a mission and they made their intentions know within seconds of the start of the game when Josua Guilavogui buried a blistering shot from the edge of the area into the back of the net. Koln, however, found the equalizer in the 32nd minute when Jonas Hector turned on the style as he spun between two Wolfsburg defenders with the ball before chipping it over goalkeeper Koen Casteels. The second half would belong to the Wolves and Divock Origi led the charge with a goal in the 54th minute. The Liverpool loanee was left all alone to tap in his shot following a pass from teammate Yunus Malli. Robin Knoche extended Wolfsburg's leade inthe 71st minute when he headed in a free-kick from Josip Brekalo. Brekalo went on to the seal the game for his team in the stoppage time as the Croatian curled his shot around goalkeeper Timo Horn. Wolfsburg finishes the season in 16th place with 33 points, but will next face Holstein Kiel in a two-leg playoff to determine whether they will remain in the Bundesliga next season. Christian Pulisic started for Borussia Dortmund in their 3-1 loss to Hoffenheim. Despite the loss, they will play in next season's Champions League. Weston McKennie started for Schalke as they ended their season with a 1-0 win over Eintracht Frankfurt. In the 2. Bundesliga, Terrence Boyd came off the bench for Darmstadt in their 1-0 win over Erzgebirge Aue to finish in 10th place in the standings. Julian Green and Kevin Lankford started for their respective teams, with Green scoring a goal, as Heidenheim and Greuther Furth settled for a 1-1 tie. Heidenheim finishes in 13th place in the standings while Greuther Furth survive the drop, finishing in 15th place with 40 points. Jann George was in the starting lineup for Jahn Regensburg in their 1-1 tie with Bochum to finish thier season in fifth place in the standings with 48 points. Andrew Wooten watched from the bench as Sandhausen settled for a 0-0 tie with Arminia Bielefeld. Down in the 3. Liga, Joe Gyau started in what was possibly his final game for Sonnenhof Großaspach while Mario Rodriguez came off the bench as they settled for a 2-2 tie with Preußen Munster. Sonnenhof finishes the season in 14th place in the standings with 47 points. Isiah Young came off the bench for Werder Bremen II in their 2-1 win over Meppen. Bremen's reserve team finishes in 18th place with 31 points to see them relegated from the league. TAGS FOR THIS ARTICLE 2. Bundesliga, 3.

__label__cc	0.70605	0.29395	How the Isolating COVID-19 Culture Affects Domestic Violence Victims Courtesy of Voyagerix Aside from a few lucky introverts, I'm sure most of us are tired of the social isolation brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. But while isolation is simply annoying for us, it can be dangerous for others, including domestic violence victims. "Isolation is already a regular tactic that abusers use and it's something that can be easily manipulated during what's going on right now to further control and isolate victims," said Kari Clark, Executive Director of Alternatives to Violence, in our "Tuned In to NoCo" interview. Alternatives to Violence is a non-profit organization in Northern Colorado that provides advocacy, shelter, education, resources, and more to those affected by domestic violence, sexual assault, and human trafficking. Clark wants victims to know that even though precautionary measures against the virus have changed the way the organization is operating, their dedication to supporting victims is still unwavering. Alternatives to Violence is accessible via their website, their office phone at (970)-669-5150, and their after-hours crisis hotline at (970)-880-1000.

__label__wiki	0.679621	0.679621	Best Buy early Black Friday sale set for same dates as Prime Day Trevor Daugherty - Oct. 8th 2020 9:52 am ET Twitter icon @trevorjd14 FeatureBest BuyNews Read more chevron-right Following last week’s Prime Day announcement, Walmart and Target both detailed their own two-day sales meant to compete with Amazon’s own event. However, as the news rolled in, one retailer was conspicuously absent: Best Buy. Well, today the blue and yellow retail outlet has finally shown its hand. October 13 and 14 will deliver the Best Buy early Black Friday sale, which is said to deliver “dozens of deals, straight from Best Buy’s not-yet-released Black Friday ad.” How good the deals will actually be is yet to be seen. Head below for full details on everything we know so far about next week’s Prime Day competition coming from Best Buy. Best Buy takes aim at Prime Day No matter what other retailers say, the reality is that Amazon sets the pace for Prime Day, and other retailers fall into place shortly after. That’s been true in each of the last three years and it continues in 2020. Despite a number of delays pushing Prime Day back to October, the two-day shopping event is still on, and just about every major retailer is getting in on the action. This time around, it’s called the Best Buy early Black Friday sale, but make no mistake, it’s their version of Prime Day. Best Buy is positioning this event as a shopper’s first glimpse at what Black Friday will deliver this year. We’ve seen this from Best Buy before, but it usually happens in early November. Prime Day getting pushed back means that Best Buy can kill two birds with one stone. Today’s press release doesn’t offer much in the way of a deal preview. Like, at all. But here are a few offers Best Buy is playing up ahead of next week’s event: Samsung 70-inch Class 4K Smart TV for only $530 (Save $220) Laptops starting at $120 JBL Free True Wireless headphones only $70 (Save $80) Now, that’s not to say that Best Buy won’t be serving up additional deals. In fact, we expect Best Buy to set the pace in a few categories, most notably Apple products. Look for iPads and MacBooks to be discounted at Best Buy across the two-day event with Amazon price matching many offers. Additionally, Best Buy will be offering up various safety protocols to help shoppers during the COVID-19 pandemic: Contactless curbside pickup is now available and is a safe, convenient, and easy way to get your tech this holiday — and ready in an hour. Place your order online and select the “Curbside Pickup” option and your nearest store. Park in the designated “Curbside Pickup” area and let us know you’ve arrived. Our team will deliver your order directly to your vehicle while maintaining proper social distancing and safety protocols. Store pickup is another fast, secure, and convenient option for those who shop online and want to pick up at a nearby Best Buy store. Orders placed with store pickup are also ready within an hour. Almost all Best Buy stores offer same-day delivery on thousands of products, delivered by 9 p.m. local time for shoppers who order by 1 p.m. local time.

Michael Jordan of El Lago owns more than a dozen properties along 4th Street. According to court records, the tenant found the memory card with video showing "Michael Jordan tampering with the hole in the master bathroom." "It blew me away," said John Payne, who has done work on the very home that was allegedly tampered with. "I remodeled that whole restroom and there wasn't anything when I remodeled that. I remodeled that one and that one both," Payne said as he pointed to other properties on the street, "and I've never found anything like that before." Also, according to court records, the victim discovered a similar recording device clipped to her mirror facing the direction of her bed. It has raised concerns for another one of Jordan's tenants, Pat Kohler. She lives across the street from the alleged victim. "I did kind of start looking around my house in obvious places. If you're going to put a camera, usually it's not in an obvious place," Kohler said. Neighbors said the alleged victim moved out right after she found the camera. Jordan is charged with invasive visual recording, a felony. He's out on bond. ABC13 went by Jordan's home and called him. We did not get a response. Galveston County Sheriff's Office recommends Jordan's tenants check the property they're renting and make sure nothing looks out of the ordinary. Right now, deputies say they are treating this as an isolated incident. san leongalveston countycrimehidden cameraimproper photography	cc/2021-04/en_middle_0036.json.gz/line369

Peck-Yakopec, in Leechburg, Pa., Monday, July 24, 2017. LOWER BURRELL, Pa. -- A now-retired Roman Catholic priest is accused of forcing a 10-year-old Pennsylvania boy to perform oral sex on him after counseling the 4th-grader about misbehaving on a school bus. The state attorney general's office said Monday that the Rev. John Thomas Sweeney committed felony involuntary deviate sexual intercourse against the boy at St. Margaret Mary Elementary School in Lower Burrell. Prosecutors say the alleged assault occurred during the 1991-92 school year, and that the boy was given milk and cookies afterward. The Greensburg Diocese says the 74-year-old Sweeney was removed as pastor of Holy Family Parish in West Newton in 2016 after church officials learned of the allegation. Court and diocese officials were unable to identify a defense lawyer for Sweeney. Sweeney made no comment to reporters when he turned himself in.

The present experiment included three steps for the conversion of spent tea (Camellia sinensis) into biofuels. In the first step, spent tea was gasified using Co nano catalyst at 300°C and atmospheric pressure. Catalytic gasification of spent tea yielded 60% liquid extract, 28% fuel gases and 12% charcoal. Gaseous products contain 53.03% ethene, 37.18% methanol and 4.59% methane. In the second step of the experiment, liquid extract of spent tea obtained from gasification, on transesterification gave 40.79% ethyl ester (biodiesel). In the third step, Aspergillus niger’s growth on spent tea produced 57.49% bioethanol. This study reports an interesting finding that spent tea (solid waste) could be used not only for the production of biodiesel and bioethanol but also hydrocarbon fuel gases. The world today is consuming several million tons of tea yearly. The present technology could be utilized to produce alternate energy.

Between political havoc, an international health crisis and unprecedented public demonstrations, there has been a fairly mighty analysis of what being American actually means. Perhaps the answer lies in our past — digging through the annals of our country’s rich cultural history reveals a lot about our collective character. That’s exactly what Scotty Hoffman was doing when we wrote “Police State,” the new single from his band, Small Reactions. “I had been listening to a lot of the Anthology of American Folk Music and American Epic tunes and I suppose that was all swirling around in my head,” Hoffman told American Songwriter. “You know, like Charley Patton, Mississippi John Hurt, Carter Family, etc. I love the haunted vibe of ‘James Alley Blues’ from Richard Rabbit Brown. The last verse is bleak.” Inspired by this poignant heritage, Hoffman got busy taking those themes and revamping them for a modern audience. The end result is Small Reaction’s jangly, backbeat-driven, indie-folk bop, “Police State.” “I wanted to write something that told a story,” Hoffman said. “Usually our songs flow out of jams or I’ll write a song with lyrics that float around a mood or an image. With ‘Police State,’ the words were still automatic. I don’t sit and write or rewrite — I wanted to avoid abstractions and just be direct. I wanted to tell this protagonist’s story. It’s dystopian and this person is separated, alone, hurting and trying to keep hope.” While Hoffman’s story may be less a “story” and more of a “reality” for the thousands of Americans who have been subjugated to police brutality, it doesn’t seem like the song is trying to paint an explicit image of the current moment. Instead, Small Reactions is ruminating on the bigger picture, exploring the sonics and aesthetics of the American experience itself. For his part, that’s what Hoffman hopes the song emits. When asked what he hopes listeners take away from the tune, he replied: “The mood, the atmosphere, and Ross’ George Harrison-esque guitar solo that was a complete accident!” Watch the music video for “Police State” by Small Reactions below: Previous article John Prine’s Last Song, “I Remember Everything” is Nominated for Two Grammys Next article Maggie Rose Serves Up Cheeky Holiday Cheer With ‘Happier New Year (Christmas Is Canceled)’ Only members can comment.

__label__wiki	0.84914	0.84914	Home > News > Pakistan Non Muslim Minorities want equality Pakistan Non Muslim Minorities want equality October 29, 2012 Akashma Online News Leave a comment Go to comments Posted on October 1, 2012 by Akashma Online News By Marivel Guzman “There is no difference between us and Muslims when it comes to paying bills and taxes. But we are discriminated against when it comes to distribution of rights.” The non-Muslims in Pakistan are not satisfied with the functioning of separate electorates. Their main objection relates to ineffective representation of their interests. What will Prophet Mohamed will say about the dual electorate system in Pakistan, when the the makers of laws give less rights to the Non Muslims. Are they forgetting the lessons in Surah Al-Qamar, Allah(swt) informed Prophet Muhammad that there were people before him who received the Message from Allah through a series of Prophets. It was a lesson to the new generations to learn from the past history. Such type of revelation was a piece of Wisdom to those who wish to learn and benefit from it. The National Minority Day was celebrated in Pakistan on Saturday to highlight the contribution, services and sacrifices made by the minority communities in the creation of Pakistan and in nation building. Several events, seminars and social gatherings were arranged across the country by members of various religious minorities as well as the Ministry of National Harmony. Minister In-charge for National Harmony Dr Paul Bhatti issued a message saying, “The day we celebrate every year on August 11, recalls the vision of Quaid-e-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah with reference to his speech and the contribution of non-Muslim communities to Pakistan.” “The celebration of Minority Day provides us with an opportunity to re-assure that despite belonging to different faiths we are one nation that continues to march for a united and prosperous Pakistan,” he said adding that the commendable service of religious minorities, along with Muslims, is a glorious chapter in the history of the independence movement of Pakistan. The minister added that the religious minorities in the country have given a considerable contribution to different fields in the society including health, education, defence and social welfare. He further urged all religious communities to stay united and to promote interfaith harmony, creating unity, peace, equity and justice in the society. The Express Tribune, August 11, 2012 Political party representatives appeared to fall over each other to court the minority vote on Friday, and took great pains to appear as if they had great empathy for the systemic disadvantages minorities face in the country’s electoral field. Meanwhile, members belonging to various minority communities demanded that they should be allowed to compete for general seats in constituencies where their communities were in the majority during the next general elections. They were all attending a seminar on the electoral process for minorities, which was organised by the Social Forum, Diocese of Karachi, Church of Pakistan at the Holy Trinity Church. Muttahida Qaumi Movement MNA Munawar Lal lent his support to the demand when he said, “We want our people to be elected in those areas where we are in the majority”. Lal added that minorities should also be allowed to contest elections on the dual voting system, something which Kashmiri Muslims living in the country are already allowed to do. Religious minorities in Pakistan, meanwhile, currently contest the elections under the joint electorate system, in which political parties nominate non-Muslim representatives to legislative bodies. The number of minority seats in these bodies are already fixed. Karachi, August 10, 2012 When President of Pakistan Asif Ali Zardari was claiming “Minorities are enjoying equal rights and fully protected in Pakistan” addressing a gathering in President House to mark Minorities Day, the electronic media was telecasting images of train at Jacobabad railway station boarding 250 Pakistani Hindus migrating to India. There was 20% Hindu population in Pakistan in 1947, when it became independent state after division of sub-continent of India but millions migrated to India when East Pakistan fought for independence from West Pakistan and Hindus were targeted on allegation of supporting Mukti-Bahni. Islamabad: August 10, 2012. Amid increasing cases of violence and lack of security against their community, 60 Hindu families from Balochistan and Sindh have decided to migrate to India, Express News reported on Thursday. Four out of the 60 families left for India during midday via Samjhota Express from Lahore Railway Station. The rest of the families are expected to travel by today. According to Express News correspondent Aftab Bukhari, five families residing in Aatma Raam Haweli – joint residence – vacated it this morning in order to move out to India. Bukhari said that the families had complaints that their shops were looted, their houses were raided by unknown men and their women were forcefully converted. He said that the visas on their passports were not permanent, however, he said that chances of them coming back to Pakistan were slim.

__label__cc	0.600136	0.399864	Antiquity À-la-carte Update Antiquity À-la-carte 2.0 October 31, 2012 in News, Updates The Ancient World Mapping Center is pleased to release version 2.0 of the Antiquity à la Carte application. Version 1.0 appeared in spring 2012 and served as a proof of concept for the mapping application. The application, engineered by Ryan Horne, provides the user with a map base that can be populated by drawing on the collective databases of the Ancient World Mapping Center and the Pleiades Project. The new version, more fully featured, offers the user a range of new capabilities, including: The option of saving data sets assembled using the application and that of uploading data to the map (.json). Options for both printing and exporting the map created using the application; combining the export functionality with the ‘numbered features’ option provides an ideal template for a map-based quiz or examination. Version 2.0 makes extensive use of linked data opportunities by connecting to the Pleiades Project and participating in the linked data initiatives of the Pelagios Project. For Pleiades community editors and members, editing of Pleaides can happen directly by means of this interactive feature of the application. Version 2.0 offers an updated visual interface and site layout. Version 2.0 allows other websites to communicate directly with the application using .json objects or text parameters in the url. Version 2.0 allows the user to create a range of line work, polygons, and shading that then appear in the exported version. These are but a few of the new features offered by Antiquity à la Carte 2.0. We encourage feedback from members of the community who use the application – your comments will help AWMC improve the application. Users can also become registered members of this site and thus be able to closely follow the discussion and receive word of further updates. AWMC is especially grateful to the invaluable assistance provided by our colleague Joe Ryan of UNC ITS Research Computing.

Labels: Egypt, Egyptology Open Access Journal: The New Kingdom Memphis Newsletter The New Kingdom Memphis Newsletter The idea of issuing a newsletter dealing with excavations of the city of Memphis and its extensive necropoleis, and with research on New Kingdom Memphis in general, was born during a CNRS colloquium on Memphis et ses nécropoles au Nouvel Empire held in Paris from 9 to 11 October 1986. The first issue, produced by the late Alan Schulman, appeared two years later, but lack of funds (and of regular contributions) and the fact that the internet soon made a paper newsletter redundant meant that the newsletter turned out to be a short-lived affair. Since the three existing issues were dispersed privately among the small group of scholars directly involved in research on New Kingdom Memphis and Saqqara and not many libraries hold copies of them, these issues are made available here in pdf form. → pdf Contents: A.R.

Updated 25 October 2012] Journal of the Ancient Chronology Forum ISIS was the only scholarly organisation specifically established to study the chronology of ancient times. Its multidisciplinary approach - combining archaeology, textual analysis and scientific dating techniques - has revealed new and fascinating insights into the history of the ancient world. It was founded in 1985 by a group of students and scholars of ancient history, and its related fields of study, who felt it was important to develop an interdisciplinary approach to the study of Man's ancient past. ISIS has published research on the great cultures of the ancient Mediterranean and Near East including Egypt and Nubia; Canaan, Philistia and Israel; Phoenicia and Syria; Assyria, Babylonia, Elam and Persia; Anatolia; Cyprus, Crete and Greece; and Italy, Sicily and Sardinia. Fields of study have included Egyptology; archaeology; astronomical retrocalculation; textual analysis; dendrochronology; carbon dating; pottery; jewellery, goldwork and metalworking technology. The Journal of the Ancient Chronology Forum (JACF) is the journal of the Institute. In its time it was the only academic publication dedicated to the study of old world chronology: a high quality, award-winning journal, heavily illustrated with diagrams, charts and photographs to enhance the arguments put forward by the contributors.

This exhibition, Roads of Arabia, can open all our eyes, as it includes well over three hundred objects that date from prehistoric times to the birth of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in 1932. It offers, then, a window on the peninsula’s pre-Islamic past and on the axis of the entire Muslim community, the Holy Shrine of the Ka`ba in Mecca. Mysterious stone steles, monumental statues of humans, haunting gold masks, and bronze statuettes of Roman gods testify to Arabia’s rich and complex history before the coming of Islam. None of the works had been seen outside of Saudi Arabia until 2010, when the Saudi Commission for Tourism and Antiquities (SCTA) in collaboration with the Musée du Louvre organized the first exhibition of the material. Other venues in Europe included the CaixaForum in Barcelona, the Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, and the Pergamon Museum in Berlin. We at the Smithsonian’s Arthur M. Sackler Gallery are delighted to be the first US venue for Roads of Arabia, and also to serve as the organizer of its North American tour. The objects selected for Roads of Arabia demonstrate that the Arabian Peninsula was not isolated in ancient times. Arabia acted as the conduit for the spices and incense from its southern coast and the Horn of Africa that supplied the temples and royal courts of the Middle East and the Mediterranean. This lucrative trade encouraged the development of a network of oases linked by caravan trails that traversed the peninsula, which was thus connected to the great metropolitan centers of the Ancient Near East—Egypt, Syria, Mesopotamia, and Iran—and the Greco-Roman world. Many of the excavated sites reveal a cultural efflorescence, with objects imported from abroad and objects created locally that witness the strength of local and regional ideologies and aesthetics...

__label__wiki	0.544424	0.544424	Displaying items by tag: Storm Dingle's Seal Sanctuary Another Victim Of Violent Storms #MarineWildlife - Baby seals injured in the recent severe weather have been rendered homeless after their sanctuary in Dingle was destroyed in last week's Storm Darwin. As the Irish Independent reports, the Dingle Wildlife and Seal Sanctuary is dealing with what amounts to a double catastrophe, picking up the pieces of its storm-ravaged facilities while caring for unprecedented numbers of injured marine mammals. "We have seals coming in who are essentially being thrown off rocks, so they have experienced severe trauma, with broken bones and bruises," said animal operation manager Ally McMillan - who added that among those that have survived, many require surgery, with four already in intensive care. The Irish Independent has more on the story HERE. Published in Marine Wildlife Minister for the Marine Statement on Storm Damage Repairs Simon Coveney TD, Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine made the following Dail Statement today about the programme to repair publically owned fishery and aquaculture related piers, slips and infrastructure in harbours damaged by recent storm events: The Irish coastline has, since December last been subject to a series of extreme storm events which has caused significant damage to the infrastructure of many of our harbours, piers and slips. At this point we are aware of damage to over 100 piers, harbours and slipways and other coastal infrastructure linked to fisheries and aquaculture. We are also acutely aware that there is a likelihood that these storms, the latest of which first hit the west coast early this morning, may continue over the next week or so causing further damage. The situation therefore continues to evolve. I have been working closely with my Ministerial colleagues in cabinet, in evaluating the overall extent of the damage. My Department was represented on the National Coordination Group on Severe Weather, convened to assess the impact of the storms on infrastructure and communities and to ensure a co-ordinated response by relevant local authorities, Government Departments and Agencies. While my Department has a key role to play in relation to the Governments response on damage to fishery and aquaculture related piers, harbours and slipways right around the coast the Office of Public Works retains overall responsibility for the Government response in relation to coastal erosion, coastal defence and flood defence projects generally. As you are aware most of the Harbours and Piers around the coast that have been adversely affected by the recent storms are owned by the relevant Local Authority and responsibility for their repair and maintenance rests with those Authorities in the first instance. That being said, I am acutely aware of the dependence a large proportion of the Irish fishing fleet, particularly our 1900 strong inshore fleet has on the network of Local Authority and Department owned piers and harbours around our coast. My Department maintains the harbours in its direct ownership and has run a limited programme in recent years co-funding the repair and upgrade of Local Authority harbours linked to Fisheries & Aquaculture sectors. I am delighted to say that, as part of it's overall co-ordinated response to the impacts of the recent unprecedented weather conditions, the Government yesterday decided to allocate an additional €8.8m for the repair of our publically owned pier and harbour and slipway network linked to Fisheries and Aquaculture. This is a significant amount of money given current economic circumstances and is a clear indication of this Governments commitment to rural coastal communities dependent on this infrastructure and the wider fishing sector While it is difficult to be definitive at this stage, as I stated at the outset my engineers following extensive consultation with Local Authorities, currently estimate that there are just over 100 such projects where significant damage has been sustained across 9 counties. In light of the additional funds now available, it is my intention to immediately broaden the remit of my Departments 2014 capital programme, to encompass to the greatest extent possible repair works on publically owned, fishery and aquaculture related piers, slips and infrastructure in harbours damaged by the storms. With that in mind, I will be inviting Local Authorities in the coming days to follow up on their estimates of damage by applying for funding under this programme indicating their prioritised list of eligible projects on a county by county basis for consideration for funding for repair of the damage caused by the recent storms. This funding will be focussed on infrastructural repairs to fisheries and aquaculture related harbours, piers and slipways. A number of other general criteria, similar to those attached to the previous scheme will continue to apply, however in the current circumstances I am removing the upper limit of €150,000 grant aid per project which has previously applied. In addition to the funding to be provided to Local Authorities, my Department will be moving to repair storm damage to piers, harbours and coastal infrastructure in its direct ownership. This will include moving as quickly as possible to repair the significant storm damage to North Harbour in Cape Clear, to the Dunmore East Fishery Harbour Centre in County Waterford, to the Gun Rock Beacon in Inishbofin, County Mayo, West Cove Navigational beacon in County Kerry and Dooagh pier in County Mayo. An evaluation committee will consider the eligibility of all applications submitted by Local Authorities and advise on the eligibility and priority of the projects submitted on the basis of overall priorities and the total budget available. I will then consider this overall submission and decide which projects are approved under this programme. I will be keeping the situation under ongoing review and will be working closely with other Departments, Agencies and the Local Authorities to ensure that the damage to the fisheries and aquaculture related piers and harbours infrastructure is addressed in an effective and efficient manner, as quickly as possible bearing in mind the total level of funds available. I hope that this quick response from Government will address the storm damage to this vital public infrastructure and limit the damage to the local economy. In addition to the damage caused to piers, harbours and coastal infrastructure, Bord Iascaigh Mhara has advised me that there have been consistent reports from around the coast to their local officers of loss or destruction of lobster and shrimp pots during the extreme winter storm events. While I am aware that some loss of pots is normal at this time of year, I believe that the scale of losses this year is exceptional. I understand that pots deployed in shallower waters have been most affected, but what perhaps makes this year more exceptional has been the loss of pots stored on quaysides, which would normally be considered secure from winter storm damage. Reports indicate that many pots were washed off piers by the ferocity of waves and either destroyed or swept out to sea. The pot fishermen affected by these losses are small scale coastal fishermen. The vast majority of vessels are under 10 metres in length and many are open or just half decked vessels. In many cases they are crewed by the owner or perhaps one other crew member. These fishermen primarily fish lobster, crab and other shellfish. With the loss of pots, these fishermen's means of making a living is severely threatened. If they cannot replace their lost pots and return to fishing, they risk being added to the long term unemployed. In considering assistance to these pot fishermen for their losses, I am conscious that it is not possible to obtain insurance to cover loss of pots. So, I am happy to announce today a temporary, one-off scheme of assistance to these pot fishermen for the replacement of lobster and shrimp pots lost or destroyed in the recent extreme storm events. The Scheme is focussed on smaller inshore fishermen and will be limited to vessels under 15 metres and will be administered by BIM. It will provide a set amount of €24 per lost lobster pot lost and €12 per lost shrimp pot. These amounts represent circa 40% of the cost of replacement of such gear. While I am conscious that some pot fishermen have reported losing several hundred pots, I believe those are exceptional cases. I am therefore capping the number of replacement pots at 50 for under 12 metre vessels and 100 for under 15 metre vessels. So a fisherman who has lost 100 pots at a replacement cost of approximately €6,000 will receive assistance of €2,400. Fishermen availing of this scheme will be required to provide certain evidence to BIM to show that they were actively pot fishing in the months before the storms and evidence of purchase of the pots that were lost. In addition, they will be required to make a sworn declaration concerning their losses. I am setting aside a maximum budget within my Department for this scheme of €1.5 million, to be borne by the existing Vote of my Department. No additional funding will be made available, so I would stress that should applications exceed this budget, the rate of assistance will be reduced, either in terms of the amount of payment per pot or in terms of the maximum number of pots. Further details of this Scheme will be made available from BIM shortly. I think that Deputies will see that with this response of total funding of €8.8m to address damage to piers harbours and slipways linked to fisheries and aquaculture and further funding of up to €1.5m for assistance to the inshore sector towards the cost of purchasing replacement pots to replace pots damaged by the storms the Government is taking very significant steps to address the impact of the storms in these specific areas. Published in Coastal Notes Joint Garda Síochána & Coast Guard Appeal for Caution During weekend Stormy Weather #orangealert – Members of the public have been urged to heed the advice of An Garda Síochána and the Coast Guard as Met Éireann issues an orange alert for Gale warning and a yellow alert for risk of localised flooding. An Garda Síochána and Coast Guard particularly appeal to parents/guardians with children to use common sense and not to place their loved ones in danger. Exercise great care on exposed piers, cliff walks and waterways prone to flooding and swift flowing water during the stormy weather over the coming weekend and next week. Superintendent David Taylor, Garda Press Officer, said: "People need to recognise the destructive and dangerous power of nature and exercise extreme caution when close to areas such as cliff walks, harbours, rivers and lakes." Coast Guard Chief of Operations Eugene Clonan said: "It is important for parents to be especially vigilant over the next few days and use common sense when taking children out near the coast or inland water ways". Published in Coastguard orange alert More Big Surf On The Way As 'Storm Brigid' Sweeps In #Surfing - Just weeks after the 'black swell' that brought surfers in their hundreds to the West of Ireland's top surfing spots, Surfer Today reports that its sequel storm system is in the making over the Atlantic. Taking a more direct route than the devastating Winter Storm Hercules (or Christine as it was better known here in Ireland), the new weather system known as Storm Brigid is "on a steady eastern track" towards Europe. And the respective southwest coasts of Ireland and England are expected to bear the brunt of its force, with waves of up to 40 feet predicted. The news comes in the same week that Donegal recorded its biggest ever surf in the form of an 80-foot monster wave dubbed 'Growlers'. However, like earlier this month, even the hardiest waveriders won't be taking their chances till the severe conditions turn down a notch! Published in Surfing Galway Puts Storm Damage Costs At Hundreds Of Thousands #Storm - A special report on the extent of damage caused by the recent storms in Galway City has estimated the cost of repairs at more than three-quarters of a million euro, according to Galway Bay FM. The figure includes estimated costs of repairing footpaths and public use facilities damaged by the extreme winds and flooding experienced citywide - and in particular the beaches and promenade at Salthill, which more the brunt of the Atlantic swells and high tides. In addition, repairs to Leisureland in the seaside suburb are pegged at half a million euro alone. Further down the West coast in the storm-ravaged Clare town of Lahinch, The Irish Times reports that a start-up surf school has had a horrendous start to the year, losing its van to the floodwaters that caused significant and expensive damage to the promenade. The Week's Most Impressive Waves From Ireland To Portugal #Waves - TheJournal.ie has compiled some of the most breathtaking images of the exceptional waves that crashed on the coastlines of Western Europe from Ireland to Britain to France and Portugal over the past week. The incredible swells saw surfing pros flock in their hundreds to big wave hotspots like Mullaghmore Head in Co Sligo, where regular visitor Andrew Cotton was filmed riding the monsters churned up by the recent Atlantic storms. Storm Surges Send Seasiders Fleeing In Lahinch As Flooding Continues #Flooding - Seaside residents in the popular surfing spot of Lahinch in Co Clare were evacuated yesterday (3 January) after massive swells driven by strong storm-force winds encroached half a kilometre inland. According to The Irish Times, the emergency came amid some of the worst weather ever experienced in the West Clare coastal town. Aside from flooding homes throughout the town, the storm surges collapsed metal fencing on the shorefront and sent concrete wall cappings some 50 metres across the promenade car park. Nearby, part of the old pier in Liscannor were destroyed by the violent wind and wave action, while the 150-year-old base of the Irish Coast Guard's Doolin unit was also damaged, with the road leading from the base to the pier broken up. Elsewhere in the country, records were broken in Dublin as the River Liffey saw its highest ever tide, breaking its banks near Heuston Station yesterday afternoon. The Irish Independent reports that Wolfe Tone Quay and Victoria Quay were closed for an hour while Dublin City Council workers pumped the floodwaters from the roads. In the coastal suburb of Clontarf - the worst-hit area of the capital, experiencing its worst flooding in a decade - seafront businesses were spared when floodwaters stopped just metres from their doors. Meanwhile, Galway and Cork remain on high alert as high tide brings floodwaters to city streets, with the Salthill Promenade still a no-go area. Storm Warning: Water Safety Says 'Stay Away from the Edge' #marinesafety – Irish Water Safety is warning the public that to stay safe they must stay away from the edges of waterways during storm conditions that are even more dangerous due to heavy rain, strong gale force winds and high tides. Fast rising flood water is very powerful and often hides the dangers of exposed drains, exposed manhole covers and submerged objects. No driver or pedestrian should take a chance passing through flooded roadways. Parents should caution children that small flooded streams are very fast and that floodwater hides true water depths. What should I do when I hear a Flood Warning? 1. Listen to the national and local radio for met eireann updates. Click on http://www.flooding.ie/en/ for further information. 2. Check on neighbours particularly if they are elderly, infirmed or families with young children. 3. Move your vehicles to higher ground. 4. Move animal stock to higher ground. 5. Check your small craft to ensure they are well secured or moored, consider taking them up on a trailer for safety. 6. Make sure you have warm clothes, food, drink, a torch and radio. 7. Block doorways and airbricks with sandbags or plastic bags filled with earth. Floodgate products will work effectively also. 8. Switch off gas and electricity supplies if flooding is imminent. 9. Check the time of High Water in the Newspaper or at www.irishtides.ie 1. Avoid flood waters at all times. 2. Carry a mobile phone at all times in case you need to call for help - call 112 in emergency. 3. Wear suitable protective clothing & a Lifejacket in on or around water. 4. Never try to swim through fast flowing water. 5. Never put your feet down if swept away. 6. Flooding on roads will be deeper at dips and around bridges. 7. Stay away from sea and flood defences. 8. When walking or driving, be aware of manhole covers and gratings that may have been moved due to the heavy flow of water. 9. Take care when using electric appliances in damp or flood conditions. 10. Remember that during the hours of darkness the dangers are multiplied. Published in Marine Warning Red Alert – Winds to Reach 150km, High Seas Forecast #storm – Met Eireann have issued a 'status red' weather warning for Western and Northwestern counties, Galway, Mayo, Sligo, Leitrim and Donegal. Storms will develop later today, with strong south to southwest winds expected over those counties, with damaging gusts of 120 to 150 km/h this afternoon and evening. This will also lead to very high seas. Published in Weather Met Eireann Batten Down the Hatches as Storm Approaches Ireland #storm – Ireland is bracing itself for a fast aproaching southwest gale or strong gale at first this evening on coasts from Loop Head to Fair Head to Roches Point and on the Irish Sea according to Met Eireann. The state forecaster who has issued a status orange alert says northwest or cyclonic gale to storm force winds expected for a time tonight in the South Irish Sea. The forecast follows a Coastguard warning to the public to be careful on exposed westerly coasts, cliffs, piers, harbour walls, beaches, and promenades. West to Northwest gales are expected to develop later tonight and tomorrow morning on all sea areas; with winds increasing to strong gale force at times tomorrow afternoon on coasts from Wicklow Head to Loop Head to Fair Head and on the South Irish Sea.

__label__wiki	0.840602	0.840602	Up the scale from one-night stands to a top rating in the national dance-band field is the story of Mart Kenney and his Westerners ANGUS McSTAY February 15 1941 Sweet and Low ANGUS McSTAY February 15 1941 ANGUS McSTAY ON THIS January night in Vancouver, Robert (Mac) McInnis reached for the telephone on his desk and got Mart (for Martin) Kenney on the other end of the wire. “Look,” he said, sounding like Ned Sparks. “I’m taking over the Alexandra Ballroom. The decorators are here now. It will be better than that dime-a-dance dump you’re playing in now. How would you like to have your own band?” “Gee!” said Mart Kenney, who would be twenty on his next birthday. “Gee! Mr. Mclnnis, gee!” “Take it or leave it,” was Mclnnis’ weary response, “but make up your mind. Get a band together and be here for an audition Wednesday noon at two.” He hung up, and seventy-two hours later the members of the newly created orchestra were taking their places on the platform of the Alexandra Ballroom. They were supremely confident and already on the road to unparalleled success. Kenney’s name was lettered on the bass drum and it looked swell. Mclnnis came in, settled himself in a chair, and said, “Play!” Kenney gave the “ready” signal and the boys swung briskly into “Beyond the Blue Horizon,” then into “Dancing with Tears in My Eyes,” to show off their waltz tempo, and then topped off with “Just Give Me Something to Remember You By,” those being the song hits of that year. On the final cymbal crash, they looked at Mclnnis with the expectation of young puppies waiting to be tossed a bone. Mr. Mclnnis slowly got off his chair and said: “Lousy!” While the stunned youngsters sat in shocked amazement, Mdnnis started off. “See me in my office,” he told Mart Kenney. There was a scene later on in which Kenney vigorously upheld the band’s qualifications and Mclnnis leaned back, made a little arch with his fingers, and simply listened to the Kenney tirade. Then he said, “You’re hired. We open in two weeks. In the meantime, will you get a hall somewhere and please, please, rehearse?” When Kenney had excitedly left with the good news for his colleagues, the Mac treated himself to one of his rare smiles. That was an even ten years ago and, since the episode, the musical career of Mart Kenney and His Western Gentlemen has been eventful and moving steadily forward—from second-rate dance halls to the finest hotels in the land; from barnstorming one-night stands to broadcasting over the national networks of the United States, Canada, and Britain’s BBC. It is the first band to come out of the West and find fame in the East. It is the first band in Canada to be signed up by the makers of phonograph records. Since the “Melodies for You” series went on the air some weeks ago, the applause and hefty fan mail bear witness to the fact that Mart Kenney is now enjoying the delicious fruits of success, and is currently the top-ranking dance-band maestro in this country. The realm of music is manifestly full of exhibitionists, but Kenney has kept his feet on the ground. He is a quiet young man who dresses and talks conservatively, looks more like an up-and-coming junior executive than an orchestra leader. This quality of restraint and dignity is reflected in his well-mannered music which falls into the “sweet and low” classification—but not style—of Wayne King, Lombardo and Horace Heidt. He avoids the raucous, and the listener need don no ear muffs, whether in a ballroom or sitting before a radio. Early he began to strive for a smooth and easy rhythmical style divorced from that distortion of melody which features the performance of many a name band in today’s orchestral hierarchy. There is apparently a field for both the caterwauling and the sweet and low techniques, but it is notable that Kenney’s audience, both visual and on the air, is not confined to jitterbugs but is composed of satisfied young and old alike, judging from his fan mail. Early Interest In Music—Radio KENNEY was born in Toronto thirty-one years ago. When he was tw'o, the family moved to Vancouver. There is no reason for biographical embroidery; he had the upbringing of the average boy in any Canadian town or city. There was school and games with the neighborhood kids; under maternal pressure, he studied the violin, practiced under duress, and would exasperate his teacher by playing by ear instead of by note. He hasn’t tucked a violin under his chin since he was thirteen. At ten, he was delivery boy for a Vancouver drugstore from seven to nine in the evening, earned two dollars a week and the envy of his schoolmates who thought this affluence permitted unfair competition in winning the smiles of little girls in senior second who liked ice cream and chocolates. At twelve, Kenney got a paper route delivering the Daily Province, and found his earnings soaring to an average twenty dollars a month. It was an exciting year. Radio was coming in, with mahjong its only rival; hairdressers said the bobbed-hair vogue was here to stay King Tut’s tomb was discovered by Lord Carnarvon. Young Kenney began to dabble with radio, and then it became an obsession. Those were the days of earphones and peanut tubes. Up in his room the youngster built sets, spent all his available cash on radio parts, studiously pored over manuals. At night when he was supposed to be in bed, he would be tinkering with a set, would hear his mother coming down the hall and then quickly turn out the light and be lying in bed feigning sleep when she looked in. Before her footsteps died away, he would be out of bed and back at his gadgets. With the earphones, he could get WEAK, New York; KDKA, Pittsburgh; WGY, Schenectady. A new and changing entertainment medium was in its experimental stages, and young Kenney was an ardent devotee. What he liked best were the dance bands, and particularly those which featured saxophone sections. Henry Halstead made a deep impression on him; so did the Kansas City Nighthawks and the Six Brown Brothers, the latter, incidentally, hailing from Ottawa and then a headline act in American vaudeville’s heyday. His people gave in to his tearful pleadings and Kenney bought a saxophone on the installment plan, at five dollars a month. At the end of seventeen months the instrument would be legally his. With it came a book of instructions. When he had absorbed this pamphlet, he coaxed a few lessons out of the trumpet player in the Capitol Theatre orchestra. As the tootling sessions increased, the members of the Kenney menage, and the neighbors in immediate earshot, began to wear harried expressions. Kenney admits today that he was practically self-taught, an observation with which his early listeners are in full accord. There was some surcease that first summer when the school term ended and he went pea-threshing in the Fraser River delta. The following school vacation, he took the harvesters’ special to Webb, Saskatchewan, where, at sixteen, he found himself working from six in the morning till eight at night for the fabulous sum of six dollars a day. He took his saxophone with him, but was always too tired at night to lift it out of its case, this act of nonaggression possibly preventing mayhem on the prairies at the hands of fellowharvesters. Most musical youngsters want to be band leaders and six dollars a day in the wheat fields was getting him nowhere, Kenney thought. He was definitely in a rut, so he went back to Vancouver. There he decided that he had had enough of school, got an apprentice job repairing typewriters at ten dollars a week and, to the further horror of his people, bought a clarinet. Now he was fixing typewriters by day and playing in small bands by night, the latter for five dollars a session. The fact that Vancouver civic regulations called for the midnight closing of all dance halls enabled him to get some sleep. Kenney, in all sincerity, says there is a lot in getting the breaks—but you have to be ready when the emergency arises. In this instance, the American immigration authorities tossed out all Canadian bands playing in the United States, and the Canadian authorities promptly, retaliated by sending home all American bands playing in Canada. The Hotel Vancouver found itself without an orchestra, and Len Chamberlain, a local musician, was hurriedly summoned to assemble one. Kenney was accepted for the saxophone section and found himself wearing a dinner jacket for the first time in his life. Between this work and giving lessons, he found himself averaging seventy-five dollars a week. He was eighteen ! It was about this period that a kindly gentleman took Kenney aside and gave him some solemn advice. “Look, son,” he said, “get out of the band business and into something more substantial. We have a music store here that is doing so well that we have decided to open a branch in Regina, and how would you like to be sales manager?” They discussed salary and commissions, and Kenney was carried away by the glowing picture of potential prosperity and solid citizenship, complete with regular hours. His chief duty, he later discovered, was to go out on the road and hustle business while someone else was left in charge of what was grandiloquently defined as a new branch. Bluntly, the lad had to go from small town to small town and practically peddle the firm’s new and shiny instruments from door to door. He stuck it out for three months, and some of his sales are presumably still being tootled throughout the prairie provinces. KENNEY was in Carlyle, Saskatchewan, when he got word from the proprietor of a lake resort nine miles away that the University of Minnesota band had been booked for the summer season but couldn’t cross the border; could anything be done—but fast! Kenney tossed the job of sales manager, took a good sniff of prairie air, instantly wired a group of his pals, and the boys came swarming east. Kenney was a band leader ! There was a small hotel at Carlyle Lake and a dime-a-dance pavilion. The boys got twenty-five a week and room and board at the hotel, and it was a very pleasant existence. At the end of the season Kenney and his crew went back to Vancouver, and it was at this time that Mac Mclnnis offered Kenney the Alexandra Ballroom job and, at the audition, cast the aspersions earlier recounted. After following the Mac’s advice to go and rehearse for a fortnight and then come back, the grand opening (Admission, 35 cents) took place. The band was a hit, and played there three winter seasons. In between, they went on a theatre tour throughout the Capitol circuit, barnstormed, and played for an Americanpromoted walkathon staged in the Vancouver Auditorium. Kenney still shudders at this latter recollection. The walkathon was one of those gruesome exhibitions in which some hundred and fifty persons started to shuffle around the arena for some cash prize until exhaustion caused them to collapse and drop out one by one while the band, in shifts, played night and day for weeks as audiences continued to show up. Meanwhile, financial gloom was spreading in the early ’thirties and night clubs were hit hard. Mart Kenney and His Western Gentlemen were getting summer work, but the winter one-night stands were heartbreaking and tough. At one B.C. town only three couples turned up, and the orchestra drearily played for the sextet all night. A lot of other Western spots were about as bad. Avalanches came down the mountains and swept out the roadbeds. In weather that was forty below zero outside, the boys would thaw their instruments at the heater in the centre of the dance flopr and play in their overcoats on-stage. They carried shovels in their three cars, and digging paths through the high drifts was just another part of the routine. Cold often brought motor trouble, or a thaw would come and then a sudden freeze, and the three-car cavalcade would skid in circles on the icy surfaces. That all ended, of course, when the word got about that Mart Kenney and His Western Gentlemen had something other bands didn’t have. At Waterton Lakes, where Dave and Pat McLean conduct a summer resort in the Alberta Rockies, Kenney and his men got a job and later put on a special broadcast carried by CJOR, Vancouver. Dials were twirled that night, and the next day Kenney was notified that he could move into the Hotel Saskatchewan, Regina, for the forthcoming winter season. To make this stage of a success story a little less monotonous, this was only the first of the swank hotels that Kenney was to play in. In alternate winter and summer sessions he has played five seasons at the Hotel Vancouver, two seasons at Banff Springs i Hotel, a season at Chateau Lake Louise, three seasons at the Royal York Hotel in 1 Toronto. Meanwhile the orchestra has i been heard on the NBC, Columbia, and Mutual networks in the United States, 1 the BBC in Great Britain, and. of course, 1 on the CBC national network in Canada. I This season, the band is stationed in the East for its commercial radio commit1 ments which emanate from CBL, Toronto. 1 In between these engagements, Mart i Kenney and His Western Gentlemen are 1 playing at the swank Brant Inn on the ( Toronto-Hamilton highway. All of this, s the philosophers would have it, proves that virtue has its own reward and hard s work never killed anyone ! Kenney and his men are now riding the 1 crest. On their mid-season trans-Canada peregrinations, they play only the key1 spots, and the boys travel in a special Pullman to make up for their earlier privations. In Winnipeg last season they s played to seven thousand people in two i nights. They turned people away in s Calgary. More than a thousand enthus1 iasts crammed the dance space of the c Lethbridge Arena. At Brandon, more than nine hundred Royal Canadian Air Force t men alone—and their fair guests—turned up for the Kenney appearance. The same conditions prevailed at Saskatoon, Vici tocia and Vancouver. In Montreal, more J than two thousand persons jammed the 1 Forum. In the Hotel Vancouver, it has s now been definitely determined, for í instance, that it is impossible to reserve a 1 table after five o’clock in the afternoon 1 for that evening if Mart Kenney and His 1 Western Gentlemen are booked in. Now when he travels to Hollywood, 1 Chicago or New York to confer with his i baton-wielding peers, he takes a plane. He is hailed as a brilliant musician by 1 these gentlemen, an important tribute s when one considers the cut-throat business 1 of the orchestral industry. 1 KENNEY’S job, however, is no sine: cure; it is a terrific grind. Despite the 1 turning point to that big money which is nobody’s business but the Income Tax Department’s, he works strenuously and 1 is seldom in bed before four in the morning. The standing order at his home is that 1 he must not be called before two in the 1 afternoon. Lest anyone brand him a sluggard, he may have been up until dawn i completing some musical arrangement. While the responsibility for any per1 formance’s artistic merit rests solely on the conductor, Kenney modestly admits that his musical interpretations—only— should be judged, and that his personality ( and background are of no concern to the : public. That is debatable. He is still the 1 target for fan mail from all parts of i Canada and the United States, from the I young and elderly. It also comes from Britain. He is probably the only band leader receiving fan mail from Japan— Renewal Notices “If you have already sent along your renewal, please disregard this request entirely.” This sentence appears at the top of all notices sent you advising that your subscription is due for renewal.

How he is heard over there remains a mystery to him. He attributes much of the applause to the compositions of modern dance-tune composers and thinks that some splendid writing is being done today. He himself has submitted only one song for the market. This is “We’re Proud of Canada,” which has gone into three editions in its first month of publication and has brought a swarm of commendatory letters from all parts of the Dominion. Sick at the latest war news, Kenney was listlessly golfing and brooding at Banff last summer one afternoon when he suddenly realized the scenic grandeur of a homeland whose peace must be defended. On the back of an envelope he scribbled some lyrics dealing with the Dominion’s deep-green forests, the golden prairies, the sunset glows on the Rockies and this country’s myriad lakes. That night he went to bed and found he couldn’t sleep. He got up and composed the score, whipped the metre of the lyrics into shape. Later, a little ashamed of possible charges of sentimentalism, he self-consciously showed the composition to a music publisher who immediately set the song-sheet presses rolling, and “We’re Proud of Canada” sold over five thousand copies in its first month. Kenney is now debating to what patriotic body he will turn over his royalties. On stage he is impeccable in formal dress; in rehearsal this dapper young man is in shirt-sleeves, the knot of his tie ripped away from his unbuttoned collar, his hair soon unruly. He demands almost superhuman efforts from his henchmen and often leaves them and himself exhausted. He still holds the admiration, however, of his sixteen-man personnel and his vocal groups. When the rehearsal is over, he relaxes and is one of the boys. He is abstemious and doesn’t smoke but is a hospitable host. The ladies adore him and the men think he is a swell guy, this judgment being something of a paradox in band circles, things in that restricted area being what they are. One illustration is apt. Knowing human frailties, Kenney early instituted a joint savings plan and sick benefit fund when the money started to roll in. This comes in handy if one of the boys takes ill, decides to get married, or quits to go into business. Kenney’s arrangements and the handpicked personnel of his orchestra, plus the Kenney direction, comprise the secret of the band’s success. Featuring “sweet” instead of “swing,” the lullaby style of the Western Gentlemen seems to be the factor which makes this aggregation Canada’s top-ranking band. Part of his success can be traced to his knowledge of how to handle experts, this coupled with an evident sincerity that precludes personal temperament for which there is no place in the Kenney line-up; nor is there any of the stigma of the maestro attached to this profoundly serious young man. His reputation is based on his ability to create unique effects without distorting old songs or new; and he lures out sounds of astonishing beauty, which is why audiences of all ages like him. All his men are experts in their varied lines, and each can handle three or four instruments, whether this be for effects in show, specialty, straight dance playing, or symphonic treatments. Kenney’s manoeuvring of effects to make a small band sound like a much larger one continues to amaze the initiates who know that he is using only sixteen men. He has secured a voluminous trombonesection effect by using only one trombone and a couple of melophones. Once he bought an organ-harmonica to increase tone volume and then discovered that, on tour, the variations of tuning in the pianos supplied en route created musical discord because the tuning of the expensive instrument they were carrying was fixed. This spectacular instrument had to be discarded and was purchased for his own amusement by a member of the orchestra who paid out an even thousand dollars for it and now wishes that he hadn't. Incidentally. the musical instruments of Mart Kenney and His Western Gentlemen are insured for $8,020.65. Adjudicator’s Tribute THE LATE Dr. Lawrence Mason. music critic of the Toronto Globe and Mail, and famous throughout the West for his adjudicating duties in connection with the Dominion Drama Festival, turned up to hear one dance band in his life; that was Mart Kenney’s, then playing at the Royal York Hotel, Toronto. The young Canadian didn’t even know that the stern old gentleman, internationally known for his academic standards, was present; otherwise he might have developed the jitters, admirer and close student as he was of anything this inexorable pundit published. In his pontifical style. Dr. Mason paid tribute to Kenney’s technical skill and artistic performance. (“He seems to aim at smoothness of blend and balance, with perfectly homogeneous tone throughout. He seldom allows his players to go beyond a moderate forte. The eardrums of the listeners are not overtaxed or wounded by mere noise. The rhythm is absolutely steady even where time, tone and pitch are severely tested. With continual shifting of the instrumentation, seemingly less than half a dozen bars are played without changing some of the instruments to secure new color values, but without losing a note or breaking a phrase.”) Other reviews have been as eulogistic; Mason’s is the only one that Kenney keeps and treasures. There have been over-the-border offers; Kenney prefers to stay in Canada. He has made more than a score of phonograph records and is proud of the fact that, on the first Trans-Canada Air Lines run from Montreal to Vancouver, the proofs of his “When the Moon Bids the Night Good-by” were aboard. That particular platter has sold more than 15,000 in the United States alone. Tops in the Canadian dance-band field, Kenney continues to dress up the old and the new songs in modern arrangements that have proved universally pleasing and downright popular. He is steeped in knowledge and respect for the music of the masters and is now at work on a symphony with a Canadian theme. He doesn’t want to talk about that yet, however, and feels that he has a lot to learn. But time marches on; after all, the man is thirtyone!

Dont believe the tales that Lachin will be returned to Azerbaijan.I will never happen. We liberated this territory not to return it. We must reconstruct and develop Kashatagh (Lachin), said the president. The governmen’s of Karbakh and Armenia will always focus on Lachin. It is our duty to reconstruct all the territories that we liberated, added Ghoukasian during his message at the celebration. In other territorial news, Vasily Nalbandyan, the head of the administration of Shahoumian region, in an interview with Karbakh Open discussed what he called the Armenization of the Shahoumian region, which until the end of the Karabakh war was occupied by Azeris. The activities foreseen by the government are aimed to fulfill our greatest goal, which is to have this area recognized as liberated land not occupied territories, and it is necessary not only to resettle these territories but also to revive the Armenian spirit there. The first thing we do we build schools, where the Armenian alphabet is taught, said Nalbandyan We build 40 houses a year in accordance with the government program. We also have a 40 percent natural growth of the population. Our region is young, the average age is 24-26, and the rate of youth exceeds that of other regions. Aside from building houses and schools, the government makes every effort to provide the population with employment. Our employment level is at 80 percent, explained Nalbandyan. We have 16 villages. Another is under construction. The communities have electricity. We have a shortage of teachers. I hope this problem will be solved because every year 14 to 18 students from our region get financial aid at Artsakh State University, said Nalbandyan. Meanwhile, Deputy Foreign Minister of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic Masis Mailyan declared Tuesday that the main problem is that today Azerbaijan is not ready to recognize the right for self-determination and independent development of our people. The Deputy Foreign Minister was reporting to a visiting delegation of Oxford University students and faculty who arrived in Stepanakert. The international community has realized that despite being unrecognized, the Nagorno Karabakh Republic is a full-fledged state and is developing, said Mailyan. Speaking about the conflict resolution process, the Deputy Minister said the cease-fire was the most important achievement of the negotiations. He noted that the talks were trilateral and featured Nagorno Karabakh between 1992 and 1997, while today only periodic meetings take place between the official representatives of Armenia and Azerbaijan.

__label__cc	0.62294	0.37706	World’s Largest Fluoride Study Links Fluoridated Water with Hypothyroidism Home/News, Water Fluoridation/World’s Largest Fluoride Study Links Fluoridated Water with Hypothyroidism Hormones play a large role in everyday life. From regulating metabolism to stabilizing mood and behavior, these fundamental substances push specific body cells into action. Without them, human beings would not be able to grow, heal, and reproduce. With this in mind, it’s easy to understand why a problem with the thyroid—the body’s chief gland responsible for regulating the production and balance of hormones—is such a big deal. Most recently, the largest fluoride study ever conducted has linked heightened exposure to fluoridated water with an increased risk of developing hypothyroidism. The study undermines the outdated practice, showing strong evidence that water fluoridation might have a long-term toxic effect on the population. What is Hypothyroidism? Thyroid problems come in two basic varieties. One is hyperthyroidism, a condition in which the thyroid is overactive and associated with health issues like rapid heart rate, increased metabolism, hyperactivity, and drastic weight fluctuations. The second is called hypothyroidism, a condition characterized by an underactive thyroid. Hypothyroidism is associated with a number of side effects, including decreased metabolism, fatigue, joint/muscle pain, and extreme sensitivity to cold. Mothers with hypothyroidism are at high risk for having children with a lower IQ, as low metabolism may deprive the developing fetus of the hormones needed to develop and grow healthily (i). Additional symptoms of hypothyroidism may include obesity, anxiety, and depression. Water, Fluoride, and Hypothyroidism [UK Study] A groundbreaking new study offers clear insight on the link between fluoridated public water and illness. In the United Kingdom, researchers found that residents of towns with fluoridated water were about 30% more likely to have hypothyroidism than residents of towns that did not fluoridate their water (ii). To expand upon this observation, researchers then compared the city of Birmingham (a city that fluoridates its water) with the city of Manchester (a city that does not fluoridate its water). When comparing these two English cities, researchers found that physicians in Birmingham were almost twice as likely to diagnose and treat symptoms of hypothyroidism among residents (iii). “It [the study] raises a red flag,” says Harvard University physician, Dr. Philippe Grandjean. “[this was the] largest population ever studied in regard to adverse effects of elevated fluoride exposure,” (iv). Fluoride, Teeth, and Dental Care So, why is fluoride still added to public water? Proponents of water fluoridation programs insist that fluoride is the best way to improve oral health, especially among low-income families that may not be able to afford regular dental care. This view is inaccurate, however, and ignores the fact that there has never been a clinical trial that proves the “anti-cavity benefits” of fluoride. Moreover, fluoridated public water often disproportionately harms lower income families. In one study, the U.S. Public Health Service reported that children of lower income families were twice as likely to suffer with fluorosis, a side effect of over-exposure to fluoride (v). Creating Naturally Healthy Smiles with Fluoride Free Dentistry Holistic dentists are among the most outspoken of the anti-fluoride lobby, actively warning patients about the potentially toxic side effects of fluoridated water, toothpastes, mouth rinses, and topical dental treatments. From a holistic dental perspective, it is more sensible to improve oral health without the use of potentially toxic substances, like fluoride. Holistic dentists also practice biological dentistry, an approach that practices oral health care in a less toxic, more individualized, and more environmentally friendly way.

__label__cc	0.600056	0.399944	Exploring Narrative: Part 6 Home · Exploring Narrative · Exploring Narrative: Part 6 [vc_row el_position=”first last”][vc_row] [vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_tabs interval=”0″ el_position=”first”] [vc_tab title=”Theme” tab_id=”30742-1-1″] 6. Theme The theme is the central idea of a story, the moral of a fable, the meaning/point of the tale, the topical issue that runs through the narrative, a statement about the human condition; the author’s message if you will. Theme is less about events and more about significance; what does the story say? Themes tend to be serious and universal and often truisms (think ‘love conquers all’ or ‘beauty is only skin deep’). The theme of The Ugly Duckling or Beauty and the Beast is: ‘don’t judge a book by its cover’. In fables and fairy tales, themes are fairly obvious and easy to summarise in this way. In contemporary storytelling, themes may be more elusive and complex. Nevertheless, every tale you’ve ever read or watched has some kind of point to it. If you take a closer look, you can see how each event, character reaction and plot twist, builds on top of each other to support an overarching message. Or at least it should. Maybe you’ve had that experience of getting to the end of a story and thinking to yourself: what was the point of all that? A story that fails to explore any kind of theme at all is one that falls strangely flat and leaves readers unsatisfied. Identifying the overarching theme of your own work means you can ensure that each part contributes to the whole, and irrelevant scenes can be removed. But how do you recognise the theme that emerges from your own work? 6.1 Building Themes Some writers start with a theme in mind; however, this can be restrictive. Over-emphasis of your theme can lead to bad storytelling. Ever felt like an author was bashing you over the head? That’s the result of a forced theme: it feels like the author is badgering you. Most writers don’t worry about theme initially as they find it presents itself after the writing/first draft has been complete. Sometimes, the message you want to send when you start writing your work evolves over the course of the writing into something else. Themes grow naturally out of a story and they more subtle they are, the better the storytelling can be because the theme doesn’t overpower. A theme is properly identifiable only in hindsight, once you have completed your first draft. In second and third drafts you can apply techniques to amplify aspects of your theme and downplay others. [/vc_tab] [vc_tab title=”Motifs and patterns” tab_id=”30742-1-2″] 6.2 Motifs or thematic patterning These are recurring ideas or phrases that help to build an impression in a reader’s mind and develop and inform the text’s major themes. Through its reoccurrence, a motif can help produce other narrative aspects such as theme or mood. Motifs differ from symbols in that they are repeated in ways that aren’t coincidental, and it means the reader can notice their importance and meaning. What kind of things might be considered a motif? If a story is about fragmentation, for example, is may feature recurring instances of shattered glass, unfaithful spouses, or runaways (pet, teen, car). In Suzanne Collins’s novel The Hunger Games, Roman names are a motif: Cinna, Cato, Portia, Octavia, and Flavia are all names associated with Rome. The name of the country, Panem, is also a common Roman word meaning bread. This motif suggests that the world as we now know it (especially the United States, which in the book collapsed and gave rise to Panem,) could one day see the rise of a new Rome. In William Shakespeare’s play Macbeth, hallucinations are a motif. Macbeth sees a bloody dagger floating in the air, later the ghost of Banquo. Lady Macbeth imagines that there are spots of blood on her hands that she can’t wash off. In John Connolly’s novel The Killing Kind, he uses the phrase, “This is a honeycomb world”, in the prologue to set the mood and lay down the motif, and again a couple more times throughout the text as subtle reminders to the reader. You can read the prologue here. In Kurt Vonnegut’s novel Slaughterhouse Five, the author uses a lot of phrase repetition to enhance the theme (as seen in the example below). The repeated phrase, ‘so it goes’, is a motif that speaks to the theme of brevity of life and destruction, while the phrase, ‘looking back’, is a motif that enhance the theme of avoiding your own self-destruction. I looked through the Gideon Bible in my motel room for tales of great destruction. The sun was risen upon the Earth when Lot entered into Zo-ar, I read. Then the Lord rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the Lord out of Heaven; and He overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground. Those were vile people in both those cities, as is well known. The world was better off without them. And Lot’s wife, of course, was told not to look back where all those people and their homes had been. But she did look back, and I love her for that, because it was so human. So she was turned to a pillar of salt. So it goes. People aren’t supposed to look back. I’m certainly not going to do it anymore. I’ve finished my war book now. The next one I write is going to be fun. This one is a failure, and had to be, since it was written by a pillar of salt. — Slaughterhouse Five by Kurt Vonnegut 6.3 Symbols These can be objects, characters, figures, colours, or places used to represent abstract concepts. A lot of commonly recognised symbols have been used so frequently, they have fallen into the dreaded bin of cliché. This is why you might want to avoid the following examples. Although easy to understand, they will cause your reader’s eyes to roll: doves = peace roses = love four-leaf clover = luck white = purity or innocence This is your story and you are free to link objects and concepts in unusual and surprising ways. Just make them relevant to the story and clear to the reader. Example? 6.4 Talisman A talisman is a kind of extended symbol: a recurring object in a story that’s been given a meaning or significance by the writer. In Midnight and Moonshine, Lisa Hannett and Angela Slatter use several story talismans: a sapphire that’s repurposed into a comb, a broach and later a necklace, all with a bluebird shape to it; a bridal veil made of antlers; and a shrunken head. These items move through a multigenerational story and provide links from one story to the next. They help to keep the reader anchored in the changing stories and act as little reminders of what’s gone before. 6.5 Character archetypes A character archetype refers to the role your characters may or may not play in expounding the theme your story explores. Certain types of themes demand certain character archetypes, whose role is more or less understood by the audience. We give character archetypes labels that sound as though they’ve been lifted straight from a deck of tarot cards: The Rebel The Wise Man An archetype is not a stereotype. Archetypes do not dictate your character’s traits, only their function in the story as it relates to the theme. Again, it’s much easier to think about this as it applies to myths and fables. If, like Beauty and the Beast, your story explores the maxim ‘don’t judge a book by its cover’, then the theme demands a character whose appearance does not match his or her nature. Without that character archetype, you can’t explore that theme. But then how you present that archetype is completely up to you. Your character can still be original and surprising. Again, like theme, character archetypes are identifiable only in hindsight. A character’s function should emerge from the story itself, rather than being forced by the writer. 6.6 Activity: Let’s force a theme We’ve just spent this entire section telling you not to force a theme in your writing. But, just for now, we’re going to try deliberately writing to a theme as a way of getting a handle on how motifs, symbols, talismans, and archetypes work. Again, these are devices for you to employ in later drafts of your story, but playing with now will give you some insight into how to use them. Write a 300-400 word piece that conveys one of the following themes. Think about how you can use a motif, symbols, a talisman, or even an archetypal character to bring out the message: Age and experience versus youth and skill Beauty is only skin deep The power of self-sacrifice Pride going before a fall Don’t judge a book by its cover Remember, this is just an exercise and your writing will reflect that. This is your opportunity to overdo it and have a little fun with theme. [/vc_tab] [vc_tab title=”Conclusion” tab_id=”30742-1-3″] And that’s it, for now. Throughout our exploration of narrative, we’ve covered: How to plan out the structure of your story in a way that will maintain pace and interest for readers How to create believable and compelling characters who sound genuine when they open their mouths and dialogue and, in the process, reveal something of who they are Creating settings that can transport a reader into a world of your own making, whether it resembles the real world or something radically different, all without slowing the story down or boring the reader Choosing the characters through which your story can be best told and letting their voices ring through without you as the author getting in the way Using more sophisticated storytelling devices like motifs and symbols to reinforce the underlying message that you want a reader to take away If there is one underlying theme that applies to this course, it’s that you should remember always that writing a story is more than just the mechanics of getting words down and setting them in a pleasing order. The storyteller’s craft is one that constantly asserts the presence of an audience. It demands that the writer always consider the person at the other end of your work, who will ultimately give life to the characters, the situations, and the places you have invented. 7.1 Where to go from here Continue to practice using the techniques and concepts you have learned in this course. Train yourself to recognise when authors use these techniques, and consider whether you think they are used effectively or not. If you are looking for another course, AWM also offers Fundamentals of Creative Writing, a self-guided course that will teach you how to establish a writing routine, the basic skills used by professional writers to keep themselves on task, information about different writing forms and styles, and information about the publishing industry and opportunities available to writers in Australia. Get in touch with your local writers centre to find out what courses they are offering that would be suitable for you. State writers centres are non-profit organisations that offer a range of courses in different genres, forms and skills. The people there are passionate and engaged, and engaging closely with your local writers centre will help you find a community and start building professional contacts and experience. And keep writing!

The reality television star died one year ago Friday, after a battle with cancer. Beth Chapman's June 26, 2019, death was a surprise to her family, even though they knew her Stage IV cancer was terminal and that her condition was worsening. In the hours, days and months following, they'd share intimate details of her last hours, including her final words. The Chapmans speak of Beth's love of hikes in the hills and mountains of Hawaii. That's one way fans are paying tribute to the late reality star. Dog Chapman Reveals Beth Chapman's Last Words "Go on a walk, hike and take a picture. Let's make it viral," Duane Chapman urged on Instagram. His daughter, Cecily, is also hosting a tribute at 5:30PM local time on Friday. The paddle-out is similar to how they paid tribute to Beth when she died last summer. "Post a picture on all your social media accounts using the #fortheloveofbeth hashtag!!!! Please share and spread the word!" Duane furthers. Cecily led the way, but several fans have followed. Beth Chapman was 51 years old when she died in Hawaii. Her 2-year-long cancer battle was very public, even to the point of being filmed for playback during the Chapmans' new reality television series, Dog's Most Wanted, on WGN. Her passing wrapped the first and only season of the show, but throughout Mrs. Dog (as she became known) chased crooks while receiving treatment to ease the pain. It's been a turbulent year for Dog. He never stepped out of the public spotlight as he promoted the show last summer and fall. A heart condition led to his own hospitalization and several unexpected encounters followed, like a feud with his daughters, a rumored relationship with a family friend that led to a faux proposal on television, and a sudden engagement to Francie Frane, a fellow widower from Colorado. The pair are to be married after the coronavirus pandemic scales back, and Chapman says he hopes to find a way to include his fans in the wedding. It's True, Dog the Bounty Hunter Is Engaged!

__label__wiki	0.809265	0.809265	CISCO, ICT Academy to Launch Cisco Networking Academy Programme in Kerala in Do Not Miss, Technology by BLive April 6, 2018, 9:23 am 561 Views Thiruvananthapuram: As part of efforts aimed at upgrading the skills of engineering students in the networking arena, ICT Academy of Kerala will collaborate with Cisco India to launch Cisco Networking Academy Programme in the state, Kerala IT Secretary M Sivasankar announced here today. Cisco will extend the programme to 50 engineering colleges in Kerala, he said, on the sidelines of the two-day ‘Huddle Kerala’ event, one of Asia’s largest startup congregations, which got underway at The Leela Raviz Beach Resort, Kovalam. Created by Cisco Systems Inc, the parent company of Cisco India, this programme is intended to integrate curriculum in computer networking which has been developed by Cisco. It is to be managed by Nasscom Foundation. “This intervention by Cisco is of utmost importance to bring about a tremendous change in the networking field as the state is making progress by leaps and bounds in the aforementioned domain,” he noted. Sivasankar said the Indian Institute of Information Technology and Management (IIITM- K) would also collaborate with Cisco India to launch ‘ThingQubator’ — the first of its kind in the country — which will be an Internet of Things (IoT) networking incubation programme. Elaborating on the subject, Dr Saji Gopinath, CEO, Kerala Startup Mission (KSUM), said the CISCO programme is a pre-incubator to help college students create a product in the IoT space. This will be launched in the IIITM-K campus. “To learn the technological advancements, you need the assistance from global industry leaders and Cisco’s intervention here thus is of great prominence,” he added. Harish Krishnan, CEO, Cisco India, said, “We believe we can learn more through the associations evolve the programme and take it ahead. With high social index in Kerala, the state can be the prime mover as far as technology is concerned and the learning can also be replicated elsewhere.” In the Cisco Networking Academy programme, the organisation will provide the course, curriculum certification and other infrastructural facilities. “This will generate employment opportunities, especially for women,” he said. Shrikant Sinha, CEO, Nasscom Foundation, said, “Over the last few years, we have been running social innovation forums and we realized that people needed business inputs and that’s why we decided to create entrepreneur contents to be provided to students which will expose them not only to IoT devices and maker spaces but also to course content and mentorships.” The next prominent thing is the Singularity University’s Global Impact Challenges (GIC), which are annual competitions held in partnership with sponsor organisations worldwide. The university, a Silicon Valley think tank that offers educational programmes and a business incubator, is globally acclaimed for its new technologies. Its first Indian chapter will be set up in Thiruvananthapuram. “How this exponential technology can be used to solve problems in environment and education will be its major focus. These challenges are an open call to entrepreneurs, leaders, scientists, and engineers with the most innovative ideas leveraging exponential technologies,” said Dr Gopinath. Huddle Kerala is organised by the KSUM in association with Internet and Mobile Association of India (IAMAI) and IAMAI Startup Foundation. Pointing out that the event has created a positive stir among the students and startups, Sivasankar said around 1300 participants were registered for Huddle Kerala. Dr Gopinath noted that the main intent of Huddle Kerala is to ‘huddle together’ startups, investors, technology experts and meet on one on one basis, thereby boosting the ecosystem. “Procure investment and technology opportunities for the startups in Kerala and introduce the Kerala startup ecosystem to the startups outside the state and the country are the potent priorities of the event which will provide a common link between the two parties and thus helping in the next level of development,” he said. Observing that there are only a few such events in the world, Dr Gopinath said the KSUM is keen to develop it as a property and will hold it annually. Subho Ray, President, IAMAI, was also present.

The pub in Inkpen, owned by The Honesty Group, has launched a bakery on-site called The Bakery, which is run by executive baker Robert Rodrigues who makes all the baked goods from scratch daily. He uses traditional methods and baked goods on offer including croissants (£1.50), pain au raisin (£1.70), Victoria sandwich (£2.50 per slice) and cardamom and coconut cookies (75p). Seven homemade breads are available including a 100% dark rye (£3.50), pain de campagne (£3), sourdough boule (£3) and baguettes (£1). Four ready-made sandwiches are also offered, such as home-salted beef with pickles (£6) and cheese and chutney with English cheddar on wholemeal bread (£6). Rodrigues also makes special loaves, which have included a pumpkin sourdough and tomato ciabatta, and plans to introduce a gluten-free savoury range as well hot savoury items. Romilla Arber, founder of the The Honesty Group, said: “Traditional bread baking is slowly making a comeback, despite the best efforts of big food manufacturers to destroy it. Customers really appreciate the difference in traditionally made artisan bread to the factory made dough and breads made for the supermarkets. "We don’t use preservatives, chemicals and bleach in our breads and cakes, so I do think they are better for you. They don’t last as long but then they don’t need to as everything disappears pretty quickly.” The Bakery opens for breakfast, lunch and afternoon tea on Tuesdays to Sundays.	cc/2021-04/en_middle_0036.json.gz/line461
