__label__wiki	0.717454	0.717454	FestivalsPremières Proms 2011: Marc-André Dalbavie & Elliott Carter – Flute Concertos (UK Première) by 5:4 July 29, 2011 • 21:19 written by 5:4 July 29, 2011 • 21:19 Yesterday evening’s Prom concert brought not one but two flute concertos, performed by Swiss virtuoso Emmanuel Pahud, together with the BBC National Orchestra of Wales, again under Thierry Fischer’s direction. The two pieces are nearly five and three years old respectively, the first from Marc-André Dalbavie, who turned 50 earlier this year, the second (heard here in its UK première) from Elliott Carter, who will be a staggering 103 years old in December. Despite first appearances, there are commonalities between the two works. Both eschew the contemporary practice of opting for descriptive names; the bald title Flute Concerto has connotations of its own, of course, but nonetheless suggests that deeply programmatic content is not the order of the day. To that end, both also place greatest importance on the surface of the music, inviting the listener first and foremost to place their focus on its undulations. But there the similarities end. Dalbavie seems intent on aiming the flute on a trajectory that seeks to reincarnate the Flight of the Bumblebee. The orchestra are given a rather muted thud as their signature, which they use frequently to punctuate the flute’s seemingly never-ending sequences of scales and arpeggios. The brass seem to be charged with a certain authority, as it’s only they who prove able to change the work’s direction. Beyond that, we’re in desperately simplistic musical territory, Dalbavie’s overt ternary form structure being just one example of how crudely basic the piece is. There are positive aspects, insofar as the relationship between the flute and orchestra is sensitively handled, and the brief shadings of Honegger-esque harmony early on are nice. But the work’s overwhelming handicap is the sharp contrast between its apparent aspirations and the crudely ineffectual results. Time and time again, there’s the intimation that the music really wants to sing; the flute, not surprisingly, is the first to suggest this, and the strings on several occasions—some spontaneous, others in response to the flute—make moves in that direction. But each and every time, barely after a few notes have been uttered, the nascent melody is quashed and everything twirls off somewhere else. This is even the case in the lengthy slow episode at the work’s centre; in what is perhaps the most vacillating bit of solo writing the flute has ever known, the instrument, uncertain of how to proceed, resigns itself to repeating a single note. Rendered totally unable to fly, the flute ends up skittering around like a moth in an unpredictable wind, ultimately reduced to a demonstration of mere velocity and yet more spiralling scales and arpeggios that speak more of showing off than of virtuosity. His concerto is little more than a vacuous compositional exercise, the most cringe-making moment being when Dalbavie attempts a pastiche of impressionism, replete with octatonic scales: ghastly. Elliott Carter, on the other hand, doesn’t just afford his flute the opportunity to sing, he allows it to do so for nearly 13 minutes. The pointillistic opening establishes what will turn out to be a gentle, occasional counterpoint to the flute’s lyricism; now and again, they intrude on the solo line, the pointillism shifting into blunt but penetrating accents. The texture bristles with the far-off presence of percussion (woodblocks at first, rototoms later), and through the first half of the piece, the orchestra is allowed to project significantly but never seems terribly robust; an attempted coup around six minutes in is like a fanfare reduced to fragments. They lumber around, moving forward in shuffles, and on the very rare occasions when they wrestle attention away from the flute, their gruff material fizzles quickly. Carter seems content to leave ambiguous whether this kind of antagonism is malevolent or simply playful; either way, it makes little impact on the flute, apparently immune to all and any inroads from the orchestra, no matter how agitated they get. In fact, as the work unfolds, the quizzical nature between the one and the many takes on an ecstatic quality, the flute continuing its endless melody in a quasi-mystical manner, ever quieter and more tranquil. A bit like swearing at a monk, the rudeness proves itself impotent, and the relationship evolves into something rather uncanny. The simultaneous sense (particularly in the strings) of distance being kept from the flute while yearning to be near to it smacks of a kind of reverence, as though the soloist’s manner had struck awe in those around. Carter’s concerto is a shockingly powerful musical statement, in which a solo line demonstrates more power than an orchestra precisely by abnegating all the superficial trappings of the ‘virtuoso’. A beautiful and rather moving piece, it shows Carter to be as bold and impressively thought-provoking as ever. Dalbavie should thank his lucky stars that his effort came before Carter’s in the concert.

I previously encountered his work on a program split with Kurtag (!! – and now Carter!?) and curated by Leif-Ove Andsnes (!!). (I mean, really, how can this be?) There was a quartet for piano, viola, bassoon, and trumpet, about which it was explained that the trumpet it muted throughout because – well, you know, it says to do so in his undergraduate orchestration book. (Elsewhere I heard a realisation of Cardew’s “Treatise” in which there was a section for unaccompanied flute and trumpet duo. The trumpet was not muted, and there were no balance problems.) There was also a large ensemble piece which was audibly a grab-bag of bits of Favourite Twentieth Century Classics (a bit of the Ligeti Five Pieces here, a bit of that there). So I was dimly amused when the commentators on the Flute Concerto referred to audible similarities to previous works (the only true statement they made). Otherwise, my eyes rolled upwards at the vaguely Herrmannesque opening. Then the soloist plays some G-D-A-whatevers, echoed by the open strings in the violins – ah, spectralism – at which point I ceased listening. And this drivel is being presented — by leading performers and institutions, some of whom must surely know better — as important work by a leading composer? It really is insulting.

There were 9 aside and in the second half there were 6 aside. We wore blue and red clothes and they wore red and black clothes so that we couldn’t get mixed up if we all had the exact same clothes on. The tournament was held in Vardre RFC a good rugby club. Luckily, we had permission to go on the rugby field thanks to Vardre. Sir took 14 of us and the other team had 9 so when we played the game we had to lend them a few of our players to make it fair. This is all about having fun playing rugby. The players that went on our team was CJ, Jadon, Sofie, Kiya, Ryan, Rhys T , Issy, Pagie, Cai, Tarren, Lucas, Mickey, Rhys B, Morgan. We all had a great time and appreciated the opportunity to compete in a rugby match that we WON!!! It was arranged on the 9th of February 2018. The match started at 2:15 till 2:50 on Friday. We all had a giggle when CJ’s mum showed us a video on YT before the game. We all can’t wait for the next rugby game and we all hope we can do the exact same next time. We did this because to tell you that we all had a great time and to tell you how well we all did. The one we all should be thanking is sir for teaching us a bit of rugby before we started the game and even more before that. We asked sir about how we all did and he said,“You all did very well and you should be proud of yourselves“ and we screamed,“THANK YOU!“ Osprey's Player Visit - Rob McCusker Cycle Proficiency In the year 6/5 class, we have been recently learning about electric circuits. Every last session we try to do some circuits. There are a series and a parallel circuits that we have been learning and apparently the current is running through the wires and are lighting up the bulb. You might be wondering how do we make the circuits. Basically all you will need is two wires, one battery, one bulb holder and a bulb. There are a lot of of fun things to do with electric but you’ve still got to be careful. Sir showed us how a nail, a battery, a bulb, and a bulb holder lights up a bulb. But he put the wire clipper closer to the other wire clipper but then he put one of them further away. The further away ment the electricity had to travel through the nail and the nail acted as a resistor, using up some electricity so there was less to go into the bulb. It showed us why there was a difference of the brightness. We’ve only been doing this for 5 weeks but still learning. Hope you enjoyed the blog.	cc/2021-04/en_middle_0047.json.gz/line1
__label__cc	0.634457	0.365543	We can add Katie Von Schleicher to the listen of other ghostly female sirens. Unlike Marissa Nadler there is no country tinge. She is more rock than Hilary Woods, but not more rock than Chelsea Wolfe. Well more indie rock than Chelsea Wolfe. We get to hear some of her lower notes on the more up beat jangle of 'Wheel". Which is almost too happy for me. Why I do not listen to the Paste Magazine brand of indie rock. "Nowhere" finds her going back to the more hauntingly surreal sounds that appeal to me. Though still more the Shins than Cocteau Twins. She has a pleasing voice. She is not hte best new female singer I have heard this week, much less ever. There are touches to Beatles to the trippy corners of her songs. Things get to a more upbeat mood on the almost dancey "Caged Sleep" . Her lyrics are pretty decent , but not as emotionally raw as the other female singer song writers I mentioned earlier in this review. There is more of an electronic feel to the more piano based "Messenger". It's a smoother 80s pop feel. She does have some Kate Bush influence to her that can be heard on "Loud". She does not come close to Bush's pipes , but embraces the odd sense of fey quirk. Some of her phrasing does emmulate Kate. Perhaps not as much as Tori Amos once attempted and she pulls from a different side of Kate, who is an artist much like David Bowie with so many sides artists pulls from certain colors they cast. There is more of a 50s pop crooning feel to "Strangest Thing" you hear where her aspirations aim for Kate Bush when she goes up into her head register. Then we are back to a more jangling rock feel on "Can You Help". The dreamy feel continues on with the marginally more introspective psyche of "Brutality" . Then it's baclk to more of a rock n roll thing on "Hammer". Her melodies do not go for the obvious hooks. Yet they are there . "Power" has kind of the 90s dream pop feel. "Gross" is almost too dreamy in her musing of mushroom tea, as the song is almost not there due to the ambiance. Azure Ray would be a pretty decent comparison to the over all sound, I will give the album an 8. It is not on the level of the female song writers I mentioned at the beginning of the review as they are darker and have more depth, but she is certainly interesting for what she does.

__label__cc	0.612773	0.387227	Lawrence Gash 14:14, 2 March 2020 News For traders News and features News Oil prices gain on hopes of further OPEC cuts While global stocks continue to falter as a result of the ongoing coronavirus epidemic, oil prices have gained in Monday trading. By mid-afternoon Brent crude oil futures stand at $50.17 per barrel, up 1.01 per cent, while West Texas Intermediate crude oil futures has gained 1.39 per cent to stand at $45.38. Such gains have been fuelled in large by chatter ahead of the Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries’ (OPEC) upcoming meeting in Vienna. Two unnamed sources have suggested to Reuters that the consortium could go along with further cuts to oil output without the support of its ally Russia. Trade US Crude Oil Spot CFD Charts currently unavailable. Grab a coffee. As the second-largest oil exporter in the world Russia has often coordinated its production with OPEC, which includes the likes of Iran, Saudi Arabia and Iraq. Saudi Arabia is seen as the driving force behind the push for further output restrictions. The country’s energy minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman initially dismissed the “extremely negative expectations adopted by some market participants” when the coronavirus sprung onto the scene. However, as cases of infections spread beyond China, to Iran, South Korea, Italy and now the United States such negative expectations have been vindicated. The widespread quarantines have upset global supply chains and reduced demand for oil. Open a trading account in less than 3 min With Brent crude and WTI crude down 23.91 per cent and 25.81 per cent respectively in 2020, Saudi officials are expected to push for significant cuts to oil production. The Saudi state needs an oil price of around $80 per barrel to balance its budget. With some analysts predicting falls to as low as $30, this target seems a long way off. The kingdom is consequently expected to push OPEC and its allies to agree to cut production by an additional 1 million barrels a day. However, with demand from China for Saudi oil expected to fall by a third in March, such a significant cut could itself prove insufficient. The IPO of Saudi Aramco, the Saudi state-backed oil and gas behemoth, at the end of 2019 was helped in part by restrictions agreed upon by OPEC and its allies. Following the listing and before the coronavirus outbreak Russia had already expressed its desire to ease the existing restrictions. As Russia requires an oil price of around $42 per barrel to balance its books it is less inclined to undertake further drastic measures. Russian new agencies reported on Sunday that the country’s president Vladimir Putin had described the current oil prices as acceptable, an indication that the meeting in Vienna later this week could prove contentious.

__label__cc	0.543979	0.456021	Turkish propolis supresses MCF-7 cell death induced by homocysteine Biomed Pharmacother. 2016 Jun 14;82:704-712 Elevated plasma homocysteine (Hcy) level is a most important risk factor for various vascular diseases including coronary, cerebral and peripheral arterial and venous thrombosis. Propolis is produced by honeybee from various oils, pollens and wax materials. Therefore, it has various biological properties including antioxidant, antitumor and antimicrobial activities. This study investigated the effects of propolis and Hcy on apoptosis in cancer cells. According to our findings, Hcy induced apoptosis in human breast adenocarcinoma (MCF-7) cells by regulating numerous genes and proteins involved in the apoptotic signal transduction pathway. In contrast, treatment with propolis inhibited caspase- 3 and -9 induced by Hcy in MCF-7 cells. It can be concluded that Hcy may augment the activity of anticancer agents that induce excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and apoptosis in their target cells. In contrast to the previous studies herein we found that propolis in low doses protected cancer cells inhibiting cellular apoptosis mediated by intracellular ROS-dependent mitochondrial pathway. Component of Honey, Propolis Protects Against Cell Damage Chrysin, a flavonoid attenuates histological changes of hyperammonemic rats: A dose dependent study Biomed Pharmacother. 2016 May 24;82:345-354 Chrysin (5,7-dihydroxyflavone) is a major component of some traditional medicinal herbs present in honey, propolis and many plant extracts. The study was aimed to illuminate the effect of chrysin in the pathogenesis of ammonium chloride (NH4Cl) induced hyperammonemic rat model in a dose dependent manner. Rats were injected with NH4Cl (100mg/kg b.w.) by intraperitonially (i.p) thrice a week for 8 consecutive weeks for the induction of experimental hyperammonemia. Hyperammonemic rats were treated with chrysin by orally at a dose of 25, 50 & 100mg/kg b.w. respectively. Protective effect of chrysin against hyperammonemia was evaluated by performing biochemical estimations and morphopathological investigations of hematoxylin and eosin stained sections of liver, brain and kidney tissues. Supplementation of chrysin reinstated the levels of blood ammonia, plasma urea, uric acid, total bilirubin, creatinine, brain glutamate, glutamine, nitric oxide (NO) and the activities of Na+/K+-ATPase, and liver marker enzymes. On the other hand increased level of plasma urea was observed in chrysin treated rats as compared with hyperammonemic rats. Chrysin administration caused distortion of hepatic, brain and kidney architecture as shown by histological examination. Chrysin at a dose (100mg/kg b.w.) showed an utmost decline in the level of all biochemical estimations. Both biochemical and morphological studies clearly revealed that chrysin protects against cell injury induced by ammonia intoxication in a dose-response manner with respect to endogenous antioxidants and hypoammonemic effects. Honey Treats Children's Cough Better Than OTC Treatments Efficacy and tolerability of a polysaccharide-resin-honey based cough syrup as compared to carbocysteine syrup for children with colds: a randomized, single-blinded, multicenter study World J Pediatr. 2016 Jul 23. [Epub ahead of print] Available pediatric treatments for acute cough are limited by lack of demonstrated efficacy. The objective of this trial is to compare the effects of a polysaccharide-resin-honey based cough syrup, and carbocysteine syrups on nocturnal and daytime cough associated with childhood upper respiratory tract infections (URIs). Using a single-blind randomization design, the study recruited children from 4 general pediatric community clinics. Participants included 150 children aged 2 to 5 years with an URI, nocturnal and daytime cough and illness duration of ≤7 days. To be eligible, children had to be free of medication on the day before presentation. A survey was administered to parents on 4 consecutive days beginning from the day of presentation in clinic. Children received the study preparation on the first evening and then 3 times per day for 3 further days. Main outcome measures were cough frequency, cough severity, bothersome nature of cough, and quality of sleep for both child and parent. Both preparations were well tolerated and cough improved over the study period. After one night and on all survey days, there was a significantly better result for polysaccharide-resin-honey. <0 .05="" 4="" all="" cough="" days="" for="" improvement="" main="" measures.="" of="" outcome="" over="" p="" parameters.="" polysaccharide-resin-honey="" regards="" steeper="" the="" to="" trend="" was="" with=""> Both polysaccharide-resin-honey and carbocysteine cough syrups were well tolerated in children over 2 years of age.

Royal Jelly May Help Treat Alzheimer’s Disease Royal jelly promotes DAF-16-mediated proteostasis to tolerate β-amyloid toxicity in C. elegans model of Alzheimer’s disease Oncotarget, Published: July 26, 2016 Numerous studies have demonstrated that dietary intervention may promote health and help prevent Alzheimer’s disease (AD). We recently reported that bee products of royal jelly (RJ) and enzyme-treated royal jelly (eRJ) were potent to promote healthy aging in C. elegans. Here, we examined whether RJ/eRJ consumption may benefit to mitigate the AD symptom in the disease model of C. elegans. Our results showed that RJ/eRJ supplementation significantly delayed the body paralysis in AD worms, suggesting the β-amyloid (Aβ) toxicity attenuation effects of RJ/eRJ. Genetic analyses suggested that RJ/eRJ-mediated alleviation of Aβ toxicity in AD worms required DAF-16, rather than HSF-1 and SKN-1, in an insulin/IGF signaling dependent manner. Moreover, RJ/eRJ modulated the transactivity of DAF-16 and dramatically improved the protein solubility in aged worms. Given protein solubility is a hallmark of healthy proteostasis, our findings demonstrated that RJ/eRJ supplementation improved proteostasis, and this promotion depended on the transactivity of DAF-16. Collectively, the present study not only elucidated the possible anti-AD mechanism of RJ/eRJ, but also provided evidence from a practical point of view to shed light on the extensive correlation of proteostasis and the prevention of neurodegenerative disorders. Marker Compound Found for Genuine Manuka Honey Security Industry, 7/25/2016 Scientists in New Zealand have developed a way to distinguish between Manuka honey and lower-quality substitutes.

Royal Jelly May Help Control Hypertension (High Blood Pressure) Functional and Proteomic Investigations Reveal Major Royal Jelly Protein 1 Associated with Anti-hypertension Activity in Mouse Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells Sci Rep. 2016 Jul 22;6:30230 Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) are a major cell type of the arterial wall and their functionality is associated with blood pressure regulation. Although royal jelly (RJ) has reported effects on anti-hypertension, the mechanism of blood pressure regulation by major royal jelly protein 1 (MRJP1), the most abundant RJ protein, is still unknown. The mrjp1 gene was inserted into mouse VSMCs to investigate how MRJP1 influences VSMC functionality by functional and proteomic analysis. The expression of MRJP1 in VSMCs significantly reduced cell contraction, migration, and proliferation, suggesting a potential role in decreasing hypertension via action on VSMCs. These anti-hypertension activities were further observed in the changes of the proteome setting of mouse VSMCs. Among 675 different proteins after MRJP1 expression, 646 were down-regulated and significantly enriched in pathways implicated in VSMC contraction and migration, which suggest MRJP1 lowers VSMC contraction and migration by inhibiting muscle filament movement. The down-regulated proteins also enriched pathways in proliferation, indicating that MRJP1 hinders VSMC proliferation by reducing the supply of energy and genetic material. This is the first report integrating MRJP1 into VSMC, revealing the function and mechanism correlated with anti-hypertensive activity. This offers a therapeutic potential to control hypertension by gene-therapy using bee-products. Bee Venom Was Used in Ancient Greece, China and Egypt The Healing Power of Venom Humans have been toying with this idea for centuries. One of the earliest treatments for ailments from gout to baldness was apitherapy, the medical application of bee venom, which was used in ancient Greece, China and Egypt. The ancient Greeks associated snakes and their venoms with medicine through the god Asclepius, whose followers prescribed venoms as cures and whose staff had a snake wrapped around it—the inspiration for the well-known symbol of medicine today. Honey May Help Prevent Cancer Due to Antioxidant Activity Histopathological and biochemical investigations of protective role of honey in rats with experimental aflatoxicosis BMC Complement Altern Med. 2016 Jul 21;16(1):232 Natural honey (honey) is considered as a part of traditional medicine all over the world. It has both antimicrobial and antioxidant properties, useful in stimulation of wounds and burns healing and gastric ulcers treatment. The aim of this study, for the first time, was to investigate the antioxidant properties and protective role of honey against carcinogen chemical aflatoxin (AF) exposure in rats, which were evaluated by histopathological changes in liver and kidney, measuring level of serum marker enzymes [aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanin aminotransferase (ALT), gamma glutamil transpeptidase (GGT)], antioxidant defense systems [Reduced glutathione (GSH), glutathione reductase (GR), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione-S-transferase (GST) and catalase (CAT)], and lipid peroxidation content in liver, erythrocyte, brain, kidney, heart and lungs. Eighteen healthy Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly allocated into three experimental groups: A (Control), B (AF-treated) and C (AF + honey-treated). While rats in group A were fed with a diet without AF, B, and C groups received 25 μg of AF/rat/day, where C group additionally received 1 mL/kg of honey by gavage for 90 days. At the end of the 90-day experimental period, we found that the honey supplementation decreased the lipid peroxidation and the levels of enzyme associated with liver damage, increased enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidants in the AF + honey-treated rats. Hepatoprotective and nephroprotective effects of honey is further substantiated by showing almost normal histological architecture in AF + honey-treated group, compared to degenerative changes in the liver and kidney of AF-treated rats. Additionally, honey supplementation ameliorated antioxidant defens systems and lipid peroxidation in content in other tissues of AF + honey treated rats. The present study indicates that honey has a hepatoprotective and nephroprotective effect in rats with experimental aflatoxicosis due to its antioxidant activity. Chestnut Honey Shows Antioxidant, Antimicrobial Activity A comparative study of the antihyaluronidase, antiurease, antioxidant, antimicrobial and physicochemical properties of different unifloral degrees of chestnut (Castanea sativa Mill.) honeys J Enzyme Inhib Med Chem. 2016 Jul 20:1-9 This study was planned to investigate some physicochemical and anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antimicrobial properties of three different degrees of unifloral characters of chestnut honeys. Antihyaluronidase, antiurease and antimicrobial activities were evaluated as anti-inflammatory characteristics. Total phenolic contents, flavonoids, tannins, phenolic profiles, ferric-reducing antioxidant power (FRAP), scavenging activities of 2,2'-azinobis-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS+) and 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radicals were evaluated as antioxidant properties. Color, optical rotation, conductivity, moisture, pH and ash content were evaluated as physicochemical parameters, and some sugars content, prolin, diastase, HMF and minerals (Na, K, Ca, P, Fe, Cu and Zn) were evaluated as chemical and biochemical parameters. All studied physicochemical and biological active properties were changed in line with the unifloral character of the chestnut honeys. A higher unifloral character was found associated with greater apitherapeutic capacity of the honey, as well as biological active compounds. Gelam Honey and Ginger May Help Treat Colorectal Cancer Mechanism of Chemoprevention against Colon Cancer Cells Using Combined Gelam Honey and Ginger Extract via mTOR and Wnt/β-catenin Pathways Asian Pac J Cancer Prev. 2015;16(15):6549-56 The PI3K-Akt-mTOR, Wnt/β-catenin and apoptosis signaling pathways have been shown to be involved in genesis of colorectal cancer (CRC). The aim of this study was to elucidate whether combination of Gelam honey and ginger might have chemopreventive properties in HT29 colon cancer cells by modulating the mTOR, Wnt/β-catenin and apoptosis signaling pathways. Treatment with Gelam honey and ginger reduced the viability of the HT29 cells dose dependently with IC50 values of 88 mg/ml and 2.15 mg/ml respectively, their while the combined treatment of 2 mg/ml of ginger with 31 mg/ml of Gelam honey inhibited growth of most HT29 cells. Gelam honey, ginger and combination induced apoptosis in a dose dependent manner with the combined treatment exhibiting the highest apoptosis rate. The combined treatment downregulated the gene expressions of Akt, mTOR, Raptor, Rictor, β-catenin, Gsk3β, Tcf4 and cyclin D1 while cytochrome C and caspase 3 genes were shown to be upregulated. In conclusion, the combination of Gelam honey and ginger may serve as a potential therapy in the treatment of colorectal cancer through inhibiton of mTOR, Wnt/β catenin signaling pathways and induction of apoptosis pathway. Active Leptospermum Honey a 'Valuable' Treatment for Partial-Thickness Facial Burns A Pilot Study of the Efficacy of Active Leptospermum Honey for the Treatment of Partial-Thickness Facial Burns Adv Skin Wound Care. 2016 Aug;29(8):349-355 Research suggests that active Leptospermum honey (ALH) improves outcomes in patients with partial-thickness burns by enhancing healing and reepithelialization rates, as well as by protecting against antibiotic-resistant microorganisms. This study assessed the effectiveness of ALH gel on healing time, bacterial growth, patient satisfaction, and cost of treatment. Single-arm, prospective case series. SETTING AND PATIENTS: Seven patients (aged 7-64 years) with partial-thickness facial burns were recruited from a northeastern US burn center. INTERVENTION: All patients cleansed their wounds daily with soap and water, after which they applied ALH gel. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Three physicians independently rated healing using wound photography and daily tests for the presence of exudate. Wound cultures on days 1 and 7 (±2 days) assessed bacterial growth. Patients completed a satisfaction survey at the end of treatment, and cost of treatment was calculated. Healing time ranged from 3 to 14 days (mean, 8.1 days). Wound cultures revealed normal bacterial growth on days 1 and 7 for all patients. Patients rated ALH gel favorably, with the most common complaint of stickiness in 5 patients. One patient experienced transient burning on application that did not interrupt treatment. Average hospital-based cost of treatment was $26.15 per patient. Healing time was congruent with or better than what would have been expected with standard treatment. Furthermore, despite no antibiotic treatment, wound culture results yielded no abnormal bacterial growth. Finally, patients overall reported satisfaction with treatment. The findings of this study suggest that ALH is a clinically and economically valuable treatment for partial-thickness facial burns. 6th Apimondia Apimedica and 5th Apiquality, Rome, Italy, 22-25 November 2016 The IZS in collaboration with the Italian Ministry of Health and Apimondia organize the 6th Apimondia Apimedica and 5th Apiquality Symposium from 22 to 25 November in Rome.

This study was carried to assess the effect of propolis administration in healing injured nasal mucosa in rats. We randomly divided eighteen rats into three equal experimental groups: (1) non-treated group; (2) gum tragacanth (suspending agent for propolis) treated group; and (3) propolis treated group. The non-treated group received no treatment for 15 days. The second group received gum tragacanth administration (5 ml/kg, orally) once daily for 15 days. The third group received propolis suspension orally at a dose of 100 mg/kg once daily for 15 days. At the beginning of this study, we induced unilateral mechanical nasal trauma on the right nasal mucosa of all rats in the three groups using a brushing technique. A pathologist stained tissue samples using hematoxylin and examined eosin by using a light microscope. The severity of inflammation was milder with the absence of ulcerations in the propolis treated group compared with the non-treated and gum tragacanth groups. Goblet cell and ciliated cell loss was substantially lower in patients treated with propolis compared with groups without treatment and those treated with gum tragacanth. Propolis decreased inflammation and enhanced healing of wounds of the nasal mucosa in rats Obituary: Dr. Théodore Cherbuliez SOUTH FREEPORT - Dr. Théodore Cherbuliez died on July 2, 2016, at his home in South Freeport with Susan, his wife of 56 years, by his side... mountains. After becoming a master beekeeper in 1988, he became interested in the health value of the products of the hive and was president of both the American Apitherapy Society and the Apitherapy Commission of Apimondia (the International Federation of Beekeepers Associations).

Propolis, Bee Venom May Help Treat Schistosomiasis Effect of bee venom or proplis on molecular and parasitological aspects of Schistosoma mansoni infected mice J Parasit Dis. 2016 Jun;40(2):390-400 The present study was performed to elucidate the efficacy of Apis mellifera L bee venom (BV) or proplis (200 mg/kg orally for three consecutive days) on Schistosoma mansoni infected mice. The results recorded reduction in the total worm burden, numbers of immature eggs and the ova count in hepatic tissue in BV (sting or injection) or proplis treated groups as compared to the infected group. Histological examination illustrated a significant increase (P ≤ 0.05) in the diameter of hepatic granuloma in BV treated groups (272.78 and 266.9, respectively) and a significant decrease in proplis treated mice (229.35) compared with the infected group (260.67). Electrophoretic pattern of RNA showed a decrease in mean of maximal optical density in liver and intestine of S. mansoni infected mice treated with bee venom (sting or injection) as compared with infected group. Flow cytometry analyses of RNA or apoptotic percentage of worms recovered from BV sting (19 and 49 % respectively); BV injected (20.5 and 51.17 %, respectively) and proplis (35 and 23.93 %, respectively) groups were compared with S. mansoni infected group (37.87 and 39.21 %, respectively). It can be concluded that administration of bee venom or proplis are effective in case of S. mansoni infection. Although bee venom cause increase of granuloma diameter and this might be due to venom concentration and further studies are required to avoid such harmful effect. The Many Benefits of Raw Honey The Spectrum, 7/14/2016 While putting honey in my coffee this morning, I thought of all the good honey does in the world and of our plight with honey bees and the environment. We tend to focus on the fact that bees pollinate most of the plants we eat; therefore, it is important that we protect them. But they do more than that. They produce honey. Honey has a rich and varied history with humans. It has been used all over the world for thousands of years. The ancient Egyptians used it as a form of currency, to dress wounds and in their mummification process. Germans used it in mead, cider and beer. American Indians used it to preserve fruit and in herbal medicine. Today, people use it for a variety of purposes although only a few have been scientifically tested. What we do know for certain is that honey has been shown to act as an antibacterial. It will hamper the growth of food-borne pathogens, such as E. coli and salmonella, and will help to fight certain bacteria, including Staphylococcus aureus. It is also a powerful antioxidant — the darker the honey, the better its’ antibacterial and antioxidant powers... Bee Venom May Help Treat Parkinson's Disease Bee venom phospholipase A2 ameliorates motor dysfunction and modulates microglia activation in Parkinson's disease alpha-synuclein transgenic mice Exp Mol Med. 2016 Jul 8;48(7):e244 α-Synuclein (α-Syn) has a critical role in microglia-mediated neuroinflammation, which leads to the development of Parkinson's disease (PD). Recent studies have shown that bee venom (BV) has beneficial effects on PD symptoms in human patients or 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) toxin-induced PD mice. This study investigated whether treatment with BV-derived phospholipase A2 (bvPLA2) would improve the motor dysfunction and pathological features of PD in human A53T α-Syn mutant transgenic (A53T Tg) mice. The motor dysfunction of A53T Tg mice was assessed using the pole test. The levels of α-Syn, microglia and the M1/M2 phenotype in the spinal cord were evaluated by immunofluorescence. bvPLA2 treatment significantly ameliorated motor dysfunction in A53T Tg mice. In addition, bvPLA2 significantly reduced the expression of α-Syn, the activation and numbers of microglia, and the ratio of M1/M2 in A53T Tg mice. These results suggest that bvPLA2 could be a promising treatment option for PD. Propolis and Royal Jelly Prevent Upper Respiratory Tract Infections The consumption of propolis and royal jelly in preventing upper respiratory tract infections and as dietary supplementation in children J Intercult Ethnopharmacol. 2016 Mar 31;5(3):308-11 Propolis and royal jelly (RJ), two important honeybee products, have been used commonly all over the world as traditional and ethnopharmacological nutrients since ancient times. Both of them have a lot of active ingredients which are known to be effective for several medical conditions. In this article, medical databases were searched for the usage of RJ and propolis in upper respiratory tract infections (URTI) and as a dietary supplementation, together and separately. 10-hydroxy-2-decenoic acid is the most prominent active compound showing antimicrobial effect within RJ. Caffeic acid phenethyl ester is the most famous one that shows antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effect within propolis. When compared with propolis, RJ was found to have richer content for all three main nutrients; proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids. More clinical, experimental, and basic studies are needed to find out the best standardized mixture to cope with URTI in which RJ and propolis will be main ingredients in addition to the other secondary compounds that have health-beneficial effects. Labels: Propolis, Royal Jelly Fatty Acids, Proteins Boost Nutritional Value of Bee Bread, Bee Pollen Fatty acid profiles of monofloral clover beebread and pollen and proteomics of red clover (Trifolium pratense) pollen Biosci Biotechnol Biochem. 2016 Jul 4:1-9 Fatty acids were identified in monofloral beebread (BB) and bee pollen (BP) loads collected from Trifolium pratense L. A gas chromatography method was used to identify and quantify fatty acids: Thirty-five fatty acids were identified in BB and 42 in BP. A high amount of the healthy n-3 fatty acids was found. The ratio of polyunsaturated fatty acids n-3 to n-6 reached a value of 8.42 and 3.35 in the latter products. The proteomic analysis also was performed on the manually collected T. pratense pollen, and the most abundant protein groups were subjected to mass spectrometry analysis. Proteins identified in T. pratense pollen are involved in the main cellular functions (cell membrane formation, organelles traffic, and mainly metabolic processes). Because of the composition of fatty acids in BB and BP and a variety of proteins present in pollen, these products are considered to be favorable for human nutrition and health. Brazilian Propolis Shows Anti-Inflammatory, Anti-Tumor Effects Ethanol-Extracted Brazilian Propolis Exerts Protective Effects on Tumorigenesis in Wistar Hannover Rats PLoS One. 2016 Jul 8;11(7):e0158654. doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0158654. The present study was conducted over a course of 104 weeks to estimate the carcinogenicity of ethanol-extracted Brazilian green propolis (EEP). Groups of 50 male and 50 female Wistar Hannover rats, 6-week-old at commencement were exposed to EEP at doses of 0, 0.5 or 2.5% in the diet. Survival rates of 0.5% and 2.5% EEP-treated male and female rats, respectively, were significantly higher than those of respective control groups. Overall histopathological evaluation of neoplasms in rat tissues after 2 years showed no significant increase of tumors or preneoplastic lesions in any organ of animals administered EEP. Significantly lower incidences of pituitary tumors in 0.5% EEP male and 2.5% EEP female groups, malignant lymphoma/leukemia in both 2.5% EEP-treated males and females and total thyroid tumors in 0.5% EEP male group were found. Administration of EEP caused significant decreases of lymphoid hyperplasia of the thymus and lymph nodes in 2.5% EEP-treated rats, tubular cell hyperplasia of kidneys in all EEP groups, and cortical hyperplasia of adrenals in EEP-treated females. In the blood, significant reduction of neutrophils in all EEP-treated males and band neutrophils in 2.5% EEP-treated females was found indicating lower levels of inflammation. Total cholesterol and triglicerides levels were significantly lower in the blood of 2.5% EEP-treated female rats. In conclusion, under the conditions of the 2-year feeding experiment, EEP was not carcinogenic, did not induce significant histopathological changes in any organ, and further exerted anti-inflammatory and antitumorigenic effects resulting in increase of survival of Wistar Hannover rats. Honey: Revelation & Scientific Paradigm The medicine in Islam thus acquired a rich flavour, with observance of health and hygiene becoming a norm Greater Kashmir, 7/9/2016 Al-Nahl [the Bee] chapter 16th of Al-Quran states in its verse 68 [And thy Lord taught Bee to build its cells in hills, on trees, and in (men’s) habitations]. Abdullah Yousuf Ali, in his famous commentary on Quran characterizes honeycomb with its hexagonal cells, geometrically perfect, a wonderful structure and is well called buyut (homes, the pleural of ‘bayt’ home in Arabic) and the way the bee finds out inaccessible places, in the hills, in the trees, and even among the habitations of men is one of the marvels of nature i.e. of Allah’s working in His creation. Working to what end in case of Bee is elucidated in the verse following, 69, of the same chapter {Then to eat of all the produce (of the earth) and find with skill the spacious path of its Lord; there issues from within their bodies a drink of varying colours, wherein is healing for men, verily in this is a sign for those who give thought}. Commenting on this verse, Yousuf Ali says “The bee assimilates the juice of various kinds of flowers and fruits, and forms within its body the honey which it stores in its cells of wax. The different kinds of food from which it makes its honey give different colours to honey. It is dark brown; light brown, yellow, white and so on. The taste and flavor also varies, as in the case of heather honey, the honey from scented flowers and so on. As food, it is sweet and wholesome, and it is used in medicine.”... Whatever is contained on honey in Al-Quran has been aptly termed “Statement from Allah” by Prophet Mohammad (PBUH). Dr. Nurbaki concludes by stating that bees produce honey like a mind boggling pharmaceutical and biochemical factory by special divine inspiration! Does Royal Jelly Boost Lifespan? Supplementation with Major Royal Jelly Proteins Increases Lifespan, Feeding and Fecundity in Drosophila Publication Date (Web): July 7, 2016 The major royal jelly proteins (MRJPs) are the main constituents responsible for the specific physiological role of RJ in honeybee. Male and female Drosophila flies were fed diets containing either no MRJPs (A), or casein (B) at 1.25% (w/w) of diet, or MRJPs at 1.25% (C) , 2.50% (D ) or 5.00% (E). Diets B, C, D and E increased mean lifespan by 4.3%, 9.0%, 12.4% and 13.9% in males, and by 5.8%, 9.7%, 20.0% and 11.8% in females when compared to diet A, respectively. The diet supplemented with 2.50% MRJPs seems to have the optimal dose to improve both physiological and biochemical measures related to aging in both sexes. Interestingly, lifespan extension by MRJPs in Drosophila was positively associated with feeding and fecundity, and up-regulation of CuZn-SOD and the Egfr-mediated signaling pathway. This study provides strong evidence that MRJPs are important components of RJ for prolonging lifespan in Drosophila. Beeswax Used for Drug Implants Beeswax corticosterone implants produce long-term elevation of plasma corticosterone and influence condition Gen Comp Endocrinol. 2016 Jul 1;233:109-14 Glucocorticoids can play a critical role in modulating life-history trade-offs. However, studying the effects of glucocorticoids on life-history often requires experimentally elevating plasma glucocorticoid concentrations for several weeks within normal physiological limits and without repeated handling of the animal. Recently, implants made of beeswax and testosterone (T) were shown to have release dynamics superior to some currently available T implants, and these beeswax implants dissolved, eliminating the need to recapture the animal. We evaluated the utility of beeswax implants containing four different dosages of corticosterone (CORT; the primary glucocorticoid in birds) and their effect on several condition indices in a captive colony of zebra finches (Taeniopygia guttata). The three implants with the greatest CORT doses (0.05, 0.1, and 0.5mg) produced spikes in plasma CORT concentrations 20h after treatment, but were within the limits that zebra finches may normally experience. The 0.5mg CORT implant elevated plasma CORT between typical baseline and restraint stress levels reported in other studies of zebra finches for the entire 35day experiment. Birds in the 0.5mg implant group were heavier, had greater furcular fat scores, and had lower hematocrit than birds in the control and other CORT implant groups. Beeswax CORT implants are a low cost method of elevating plasma CORT for a prolonged time. Furthermore, because there is no need to remove these implants at the end of a study, this method may be amenable to studies of free-ranging animals. Thai Propolis Used to Preserve Knocked Out Teeth The preservative effect of Thai propolis extract on the viability of human periodontal ligament cells Dental Traumatology Early View (Online Version of Record published before inclusion in an issue) Background/Aim Tooth avulsion causes an injury to the periodontal ligament (PDL). The success of tooth replantation depends on the quantity and quality of PDL cells. The aim of this study was to examine the preservative and proliferative effects of Thai propolis extract, previously shown to exert anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities, on human PDL cells. Ninety-six premolars were left to air dry for 30 min and stored in Hank's balanced salt solution (HBSS), milk, or various concentrations of propolis extract from 0.25 to 10 mg ml−1 for 3 h. PDL cells were isolated by collagenase and trypsin digestion, and their viability was determined by a trypan blue dye exclusion assay. PDL tissues were also scraped off the root surface and cultured to determine cell growth and morphology. The alamarBlue® and BrdU assays were performed to determine the cytotoxic and proliferative effects of the extract on cultured PDL cells, respectively. A non-toxic dose of 2.5 mg ml−1 of propolis extract yielded the greatest percentage of cell viability (78.84 ± 3.34%), which was significantly higher than those of the other concentrations (P < 0.001). Nevertheless, this percentage was not significantly different from that of HBSS (80.14 ± 2.44%; P = 1.00), but was significantly higher than that of milk (71.27 ± 2.79%; P < 0.001). The cells grown from PDL explants looked like fibroblasts. However, 2.5 mg ml−1 of the extract did not induce PDL cell proliferation. Thai propolis extract at 2.5 mg ml−1 appears to be the most effective dose for preserving the viability of PDL cells, and this was comparable to HBSS. Honey May Help Treat Colitis The dual anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities of natural honey promote cell proliferation and neural regeneration in a rat model of colitis Acta Histochemica Available online 1 July 2016 A decreased antioxidant capacity and excessive inflammation are well-known features in the pathogenesis of ulcerative colitis (UC). Recent evidence has suggested a role of honey in reducing colitis-induced inflammatory and oxidative stress markers. In this study, we examined whether the anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative properties of honey have a beneficial effect on the enteric innervation and cellular proliferation of UC in rat. The colitis was induced in rats by dextran sodium sulphate (DSS). The effect of natural honey on induced colitis was assessed by the following parameters in colonic samples: tissue injury, inflammatory infiltration, interleukin-1β and -6, superoxide dismutase and reduced glutathione. In addition, the expression of tumour necrosis factor-α, inducible NO synthase, caspase-3, CD34, Ki67, S100, c-kit, and neuron-specific enolase were examined by immunohistochemistry. Compared to the DSS-induced colitis group, the honey-treated group had significantly improved macroscopic and microscopic scores and exhibited the down-regulation of oxidative, inflammatory, and apoptotic markers. In addition, up-regulation of intrinsic muscular innervation and epithelial cellular proliferation markers was detected. These results provide new insight into the beneficial role of natural honey in the treatment of DSS-induced colitis via the inhibition of colonic motor dysfunction and the inflammatory-oxidative-apoptotic cascade. In addition, the role of honey in epithelial regeneration was clarified. Nigerian Propolis May Help Treat Diabetes Nigerian propolis improves blood glucose, glycated hemoglobin A1c, very low-density lipoprotein, and high-density lipoprotein levels in rat models of diabetes J Intercult Ethnopharmacol. 2016 May 4;5(3):233-8 According to our previous studies, propolis of Nigerian origin showed some evidence of hypoglycemic and hypolipidemic activities in addition to its ability to ameliorate oxidative-stress-induced organ dysfunction. This study was carried out to determine whether an ethanolic extract of Nigerian propolis (EENP) improves glycated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), fasting plasma glucose, very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) concentrations in rats that have alloxan diabetes. Diabetes was induced with alloxan (110 mg/kg). Animals were divided into 5 groups (n = 5); Group 1 was non-diabetic receiving normal saline and Group 2 was diabetic but also received only normal saline. Groups 3, 4, and 5 were diabetic receiving 200 mg/kg propolis, 300 mg/kg propolis, and 150 mg/kg metformin, respectively, for 42 days. Hyperglycemia, elevated serum level of VLDL, elevated plasma level of HbA1c, and decreased levels of HDL were observed in the diabetic untreated animals. Nigerian propolis decreased blood glucose level and serum level of VLDL but elevated HDL level. These changes were significant (P < 0.05). The levels of plasma HbA1c were also reduced in the propolis-treated groups, and the reduction was significant (P < 0.05). Nigerian propolis contains compounds exhibiting hypoglycemic, antihyperlipidemic, and HbA1c reducing activities. Use of Propolis, Royal Jelly to Prevent Upper Respiratory Infections in Children Humans Have Been Using Propolis for Centuries Used by bees for building and embalming, propolis has human health benefits Roisin Armstrong, The Irish News, 29 June, 2016 PROPOLIS is a natural resin collected from the buds of conifers and other trees by honeybees. It is used by bees to seal walls and strengthen combs of hives, as well as to embalm dead invaders. Nice thought. But humans have been availing of the positive benefits of this very protective healing product for centuries; it seems to have been used as early as 300BC for inflammation and wound healing. One very significant feature of propolis is that it has an amazing safety record. For the most part it is revered for its immune-strengthening capabilities and helping to protect from winter infections, but more recently there is a raft of research available that puts it way up the list for help with many serious issues including cancer... Honey, Bee Pollen and Bee Bread May Help Treat High Cholesterol [Correction of atherogenic dyslipidemia with honey, pollen and bee bread in patients with different body mass]. [Article in Russian] Ter Arkh. 2011;83(8):58-62. To assess efficacy of treatment of patients with atherogenic dyslipidemia (ADL) with beekeeping products (honey, pollen, bee bread). MATERIAL AND METHODS: ADL parameters were examined in 157 patients (64 males and 93 females) aged 39 to 72 (mean age 61,7 + 8,5 years) with ADL. Products of beekeeping were given in the absence of allergy and individual resistance to honey, pollen, bee bread. The patients were divided into four groups: patients on hypolipidemic diet only, on diet and honey or pollen, on bee bread, combined treatment - diet, honey, pollen. A significant hypolipidemic effect was registered in patients taking honey in combination with pollen (total cholesterol decreased by 18,3 %, LDLP cholesterol by 23,9 %) and bee bread (total cholesterol decreased by 15,7 %, LDLP cholesterol by 20,5 %). Improvement of blood lipid composition in taking honey and pollen in overweight (body mass index - BMI 25 - 30) and obese (BMI over 30) patients occurs only in loss of body mass. Labels: Bee-Collected Pollen, Honey Study of Moroccan Propolis Anti-acetylcholinesterase, antidiabetic, anti-inflammatory, antityrosinase and antixanthine oxidase activities of Moroccan propolis International Journal of Food Science & Technology Biological properties of Moroccan propolis have been scarcely studied. In the present work, the total phenols and flavonoids from 21 samples of propolis collected in different places of Morocco or 3 supplied in the market were determined, as well as the in vitro capacity for inhibiting the activities of acetylcholinesterase, α-glucosidase, α-amylase, lipoxygenase, tyrosinase, xanthine oxidase and hyaluronidase. The results showed that samples 1 (region Fez-Boulemane, Sefrou city) (IC50 = 0.065, 0.006, 0.020, 0.050, 0.014 mg mL−1) and 23 (marketed) (IC50 = 0.018, 0.002, 0.046, 0.037, 0.008 mg mL−1) had the best in vitro capacity for inhibiting the α-amylase, α-glucosidase, lipoxygenase, tyrosinase and xanthine oxidase activities, respectively. A negative correlation between IC50 values and concentration of phenols, flavones and flavanones was found. These activities corresponded to the generally higher amounts of phenols and flavonoids.

Dance, under the direction of daring choreographer Karole Armitage, took the stage at the Joyce Theater in New York for a two week, two program concert run spanning from April 26-May 8th. The show, no matter what night you choose to see it, promises to be anything but tame. With seven rehearsals to go before the dancers moved into the theater, I sat down with Karole Armitage at the company’s rehearsal home, Dance Theatre of Harlem, to get a sneak peek of both her new work and repertory that has been refreshed and revamped for this unique company season. Program A of the Armitage Gone! Dance season will incorporate Ligeti Essays and Drastic Classicism, both older works continuously evolving since creation, as well as the world premiere of Armitage’s newest work GAGA-GaKu, performed with selected members of Dance Theatre of Harlem Ensemble. Program B will show Three Theories, a full-evening piece premiered in 2010 dealing in universal physical laws and phenomena. In my observation of two of Armitage’s pieces, Ligeti Essays and GAGA-Gaku, it didn’t take long for me to realize the full scale of Armitage’s ambition, fed by a fascination with human experience. The Last Tightrope Dancer In Armenia “I never thought it would go to a dance festival. I was making a film about people,“ remarked director Arman about her film, “The Last Tightrope Dancer in Armenia,” screened as part of Dance on Camera at Lincoln Center’s Walter Reade Theater. Stangely, in this simple introduction to the film, Yeritsyan illuminated the key characteristic of cultural dance forms. A community’s traditions, symbols, beliefs and values are often reflected in the way that community moves; the way people express their lives through communal movement. So, when a dance form is braided into the historical fabric of a culture as tightrope dancing was in Armenia, its disappearance is reason to sit up and notice…	cc/2021-04/en_middle_0047.json.gz/line35

After Joe Anglin quits, Wildrose MLAs rally behind Danielle Smith Post author By Dave Cournoyer 9 Comments on What Civil War? After Joe Anglin quits, Wildrose MLAs rally behind Danielle Smith Wildrose leader Danielle Smith surrounded by her caucus on March 19, 2014. In a move designed to quash any further internal party dissent, Wildrose MLAs rallied around their leader yesterday by unanimously requesting their party’s executive committee cancel a leadership review that Danielle Smith requested last week. Joe Anglin The sign of caucus unity came shortly after Sundre-Rocky Mountain House-Rimbey MLA Joe Anglin announced he was leaving the Official Opposition Caucus to sit as an Independent MLA. Ms. Smith requested the review in response to the Wildrose Party’s poor showing in four by-elections held on October 27. Although the by-elections were held in traditionally safe Progressive Conservative voting constituencies, they were seen by many political watchers as a mid-term review for the 43-year governing PC Party, now led by Jim Prentice. Will the sign of caucus support for Ms. Smith’s leadership put an end to the Wildrose “civil war” between pragmatic and ideological conservatives that Mr. Anglin referred to in a Facebook post yesterday? From the outside, it is difficult to tell whether an actual “civil war” is being waged. Mr. Anglin has always been more comfortable as a political lone-wolf and his departure was not unexpected. And despite the party’s sometimes uneasy coalition of libertarian and social conservatives, it is reasonable to believe Ms. Smith would still receive a strong endorsement from party members in a leadership review (she received 90% approval in a 2013 review). But the entrance of Mr. Prentice onto the political stage may have slightly shifted the ground in Alberta’s conservative movement. As the by-election results suggest, there are many conservative voters comfortable with a PC Party led by Mr. Prentice and, at the very least, they willing to give him a chance. Mr. Prentice does pose a serious challenge for the Wildrose Party, which made former Premier Alison Redford into political lightening rod. And while the sting of Ms. Redford’s legacy did not resonate in the by-elections, the recent announcement of an R.C.M.P investigation into her alleged misdeeds may reignite Albertans anger. It is difficult to imagine who would replace the Wildrose Party’s high-profile leader. Although MLAs Kerry Towle, Bruce McAllister, Shayne Saskiw, Heather Forsyth and Rob Anderson have some provincial profile, none are as recognizable as their current leader. I would guess that most Albertans would struggle to name a Wildrose MLA other than Ms. Smith. Whether a “civil war” is actually underway, it is clear that the Ms. Smith’s Wildrose Party is facing an identity crisis in a post-Redford political environment. Meanwhile, NDP leader Rachel Notley and Liberal leader Raj Sherman have ruled out any talk of a merger by Alberta’s centre/centre-left political parties. Talk of a potential merger arose following significant vote-splitting in the Oct. 27 by-elections.

Citing a “civil war” within the Wildrose Party, MLA Joe Anglin has decided to leave the Official Opposition caucus to sit as an Independent MLA. Mr. Anglin said in a Facebook message posted this morning that he did so in advance of today’s caucus meeting, where leader Danielle Smith was expected to introduce a motion to expel him from the Official Opposition caucus. The first-term MLA for Sundre-Rocky Mountain House-Rimbey claimed foul-play when losing his nomination bid to represent the Wildrose in the next election. A divisive split in the local constituency association has drawn the ire of senior party officials. His departure represents the first time the Wildrose has lost an MLA to a defection and now leaves the Official Opposition with 16 MLAs. A political wildcard, Mr. Anglin admitted in his Facebook post he had “been a round peg in a square hole in the Wildrose Party.” And despite the more recent troubles, rumours of his departure have been circulating in political circles for at least one year. The former leader of the Alberta Green Party and outspoken critic of electrical transmission line development in rural Alberta was an odd fit for the Wildrose Party. Mr. Anglin’s advocacy came to province-wide attention in 2007 when it was revealed the now defunct Energy and Utilities Board hired a private detective to spy on central Alberta landowners who were organizing in opposition to transmission line construction through their property. Fanning the flames of enraged farmers and landowners, Mr. Anglin, along with lawyer Keith Wilson, helped lay the ground for the Wildrose surge in central and southern Alberta in the 2012 election. The question now is whether Progressive Conservative Premier Jim Prentice‘s peace-offerings towards property-rights activists like Mr. Anglin could convince him to join the government caucus, or at the very least support related legislation expected to be introduced in November. While the party’s loss in four recent by-elections put the spotlight on Ms. Smith and her call for a leadership review at the party’s November convention, Mr. Anglin’s departure casts a light on a split in the party and caucus. “It has been caught up in a civil war between ideologues and pragmatists, with staff, volunteers, and even MLAs being placed into and forced out of positions with alarming frequency,” Mr. Anglin wrote in his Facebook post. While most Wildrose Party activists I have spoken with support Ms. Smith’s leadership, there is a group who remain disappointed with the party’s lack of focus and inability to hold significant ground against the PCs in the polls. The clear beneficiary of this public dispute is Mr. Prentice, who, after nearly two months in office, has left the Wildrose Party scrambling to respond to a post-Alison Redford reality. Since Peter Lougheed catapulted from official opposition leader to Premier in 1971, leadership positions in Alberta’s opposition benches have become a political graveyard for many well-intentioned and ambitious politicians. If Ms. Smith is able to rally her MLAs and party activists in unity at the party’s convention and secure a strong leadership vote, the party could remain competitive going into the next election. If Mr. Anglin’s departure deepens the splits in the party, and other MLAs join him or cross the floor to the PCs, Ms. Smith may be destined to join the list of many other Official Opposition leaders who failed to defeat Alberta’s 43-year governing PC Party.

We acknowledge the commitment and action taken to date by governments across Australia to address violence against women and their children. While the National Plan to Reduce Violence against Women and their Children 2010-2022 (National Plan) has laid the foundations for a national approach, there is much that can be strengthened to provide increased coordination and consistency. Across Australia numerous inquiries have been held into the issues concerning family, domestic and sexual violence, with deep interrogation of the prevalence, dynamics, impact, prevention and response efforts, and legal and public policy landscape. These past inquiries provide the Australian Government with extensive information and analysis to inform the next steps of national leadership, coordination, and investment through the next National Plan. We encourage this Committee to consider and review this evidence alongside the emerging research and trends, while maintaining a focus on the safety, wellbeing and freedom of victim-survivors. We also encourage the Committee to broaden their view when considering the terms of reference and making recommendations to inform the next National Plan. Any actions taken to address violence against women and children and address gender inequity necessarily means keeping those who use harm, violence and control in view and engaged, and actively involving all parts of society in the journey towards equality and respect. Given the plethora of information available, this submission will direct the Committee’s attention to the existing and emerging evidence and unresolved recommendations, and highlight key areas for further focus and reform. We appreciate government commitment to innovate, try new approaches and generate ideas to make headway on what is an intractable social problem. However, care must be taken not to fall into the trap of producing stand-alone or siloed responses, hoping that one new addition or change will, by itself, make all the difference. Reducing violence against women and children is a long-term, intergenerational goal requiring sustained, scaffolded, and coordinated actions and investment. Read the full submission here.

Lovelace brought important early insights into mathematics and computation, especially in the context of the Analytical Engine proposed by her collaborator Charles Babbage. She also brought her vision and computational intuitions to music, asking whether ‘the engine might compose elaborate and scientific pieces of music of any degree of complexity or extent’. On 30 November we explored mathematics, computation, and music through a performance of ‘Ada sketches‘, a short operatic work by composed by Emily Howard and part of her Lovelace Trilogy. More than a performance, this event with Emily Howard and musicians from the Northern Royal College of Music involved mathematical explanation and engaged the audience in composition, turning numbers into notes. We revisited this work at the Ada Lovelace Symposium through an interactive display and a conversation on stage between David De Roure and Emily Howard, herself a mathematician, computer scientist and musician. This also featured an extract of Howard’s work ‘Mesmerism’, another part of the Trilogy, and illustrated numbers and notes by generating a number sequence on a simulator of the Analytical Engine and developing the output as a musical theme—an exercise inspired by discussions at a music hack day held at Goldsmiths in October. The evening saw world premières of ‘An algorithmic study on ADA’ and ‘ADA’, composed by James Whitbourn, performed by mixed-voice contemporary choir with violin and harp. The event was supported by digital music research projects Transforming Musicology(AHRC, led by Goldsmiths, University of London) and “FAST” (EPSRC, led by Queen Mary University of London), and organized at University of Oxford by a partnership of thee-Research Centre, Centre for Digital Scholarship, and The Oxford Research Centre for the Humanities, in collaboration with symposium organizer Professor Ursula Martin, theMathematical Institute, and Department of Computer Science. The performance was supported by the Royal Northern College of Music, Leverhulme Trust and University of Liverpool. –Dave de Roure, Director, Oxford e-Research Centre ← Join us for a kids’ mini-hack on 5 December The Ada Lovelace Hackathon → Ada Lovelace: the Making of a Computer Scientist Ada Lovelace and the Analytical Engine Celebrating Ada Lovelace’s 200th birthday The Ada Lovelace Hackathon	cc/2021-04/en_middle_0047.json.gz/line64

Learn more Southwestern Oregon has always been a great place to live. Wherever you go in the region, you’re probably walking where our ancestors lived their lives, gathered their food, and buried the remains of their loved ones. Physical evidence of our ancestors’ presence is rarely obvious, but artifacts and bones lie beneath many well-used local places. Just like anyone else, we feel heartsick when our ancestors’ resting places are violated. Oregon law prohibits vandalizing or excavating cultural resource sites and removing artifacts, whether you’re on public or private land. (ORS 9.745 358.920 & 390.235). Please, give our deceased family members the same respect you would give your own. Collecting data in a controlled and scientific manner yields a better understanding of the past – an impossible goal if sites have been disturbed and looted. The Youth Corps provides work experience and career exploration to Tribal youth. A few pointers To archaeologists, fragments of the past tell a story about those who lived here before us. Please, look and learn, but leave things untouched so the story can endure. You can enjoy cultural resources without damaging them or taking them home. Draw a picture or take a photo instead. If you encounter an artifact, and you think you might be the first person to find it, please leave it where it is. Contact Oregon’s State Historical Preservation Office or the closest Indian Tribe. Archaeology is like detective work, and an archaeological site is like a forensic scene. When an artifact is removed from its resting place, we lose a piece of the puzzle. Look, but don’t touch. Artifacts like a bowl or arrowhead may carry plant or animal residue. The residue can tell archaeologists how and when the tool was used. That opportunity is lost if you touch the artifact. You might think picking up a single arrowhead is harmless. But if everyone who visits a site picks up one thing, the site won’t last long. If you already have artifacts in your possession and you’d like to return them to the Coquille Indian Tribe, please contact our Tribal Historic Preservation Office. If you’re excavating … If you encounter artifacts during construction, stop work and cordon off the area. Contact the State Historical Preservation Office and nearby Tribes for instructions. Work should not resume until the site has been evaluated. If you find bones, consider that they might be human. If you’re not sure, professionals are available who can help you with identification. Follow the Oregon protocol for discovery of human remains. Don’t worry! An inadvertent discovery does not mean that your project will be canceled. State and Tribal authorities can’t seize your land. We are here to work with you to make sure cultural resources are handled lawfully and respectfully. Studying our Past The Coquille Indian Tribe works closely with University of Oregon, Oregon State University, and Southern Oregon University, sponsoring anthropologists and archeologists who work with Tribal members to research and document the ancestral past. Major archaeological projects have been conducted along the Coquille River near Bandon, at fish weir sites, and along the bluffs and shorelines of Oregon’s South Coast. This research shows that humans have used and occupied the lands and resources of the coastal region for thousands of years. Tribal archaeologists and historians also work closely with state and federal agencies and with other Oregon Tribes to protect, preserve and interpret cultural sites and resources on public lands. Though much of the past has been lost to time and circumstances, much still remains. Tribal archives contain more than 100,000 pages of historic photos, letters and documents, and government records.

__label__cc	0.727558	0.272442	Home > CVE Blog “Our CVE Story: Using the CVE Program to Provide Reliable Vulnerability Information” (guest author) CVE Blog The purpose of this blog is to establish a dialogue and get your input on issues and topics important to CVE. We encourage you to use Medium, LinkedIn, or Twitter to comment on, share, or like a post. Right-click and copy here to share this article from the CVE website. Our CVE Story: Using the CVE Program to Provide Reliable Vulnerability Information Share or comment Guest author Milind Kulkarni is a member of the CVE Outreach and Communications Working Group and NVIDIA is a CNA. Customers and developers often rely on vulnerability descriptions to determine the security risks to their systems. If the information associated with a vulnerability is incomplete or vague, consumers of this information may miscalculate their risk assessments. This can make it difficult to determine the urgency of applying remediations, which may result in systems remaining vulnerable to cyber threats. By becoming a CVE Numbering Authority (CNA) and assigning a CVE ID when disclosing a security vulnerability, you can publish structured and reliable vulnerability information. This provides your customers the benefit of the accurate information they need to prioritize remediation activities necessary to secure their systems. NVIDIA became a CNA in 2016. After becoming a CNA, we started using the CVE Program to gain significant benefits. Our status as a CNA gives us the authority to assign CVE IDs to vulnerabilities reported in our products and to provide tailored descriptions that get published in the public CVE List, and allows us to own the messaging for our security vulnerabilities. After a security update is released, we publish a comprehensive security bulletin that serves as an authoritative reference for the CVE Record. In the security bulletin, we provide a brief description about the CVE, severity and vector, security impact, affected versions, instructions on how to apply the remediation, and acknowledgement to the finders for responsible disclosure (if applicable). NVIDIA utilizes industry standards like Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE™) for creating the vulnerability description and Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) for scoring severity and vector for the CVE Record. Incorporating the CVE Program may initially appear to be a burden on your security operations because you might think that this will need complete change of process and consume a lot of time, but, in my experience, the CVE Program is flexible enough to easily accommodate your existing processes which, once integrated, become a routine set of activities. The steps for assigning CVE IDs and publishing CVE Records can be completed either manually, or by using automation if you have the resources. The CVE Program can be well adopted by organizations, irrespective of their size, that have a growing product portfolio and consumers. The CVE Program gives a sense that there is a security lifecycle for your products and that you give attention to security issues. Following these simple and straightforward CVE Record Requirements outlined in the CVE Program have helped NVIDIA to integrate the CVE steps in our processes for disclosing vulnerabilities and messaging for the CVE Record. The CVE Program has greatly helped us streamline our communications and provide reliable vulnerability information to our customers, empowering them to make informed decisions about the security of their systems. If your organization is interested in gaining the benefits from the CVE Program, check out the CVE Program’s guide on How to Become a CNA. You will certainly be in a better position by adopting the CVE Program in your vulnerability disclosure practices, which will benefit not only your company, but also your customers and ecosystem, in making your products and systems more secure than before. - Milind R.

Nostalgic, humorous, and even a little educational, each episode promises to lend some insight into the heroes, villains, and classic stories of the Dark Knight! The Arkham Sessions, Ep. 150 - "Penultimate Patrol" On the last episode, we spoke about the important difference between actions that could be considered forgivable and actions deemed so problematic that the person behind them should be punished via public shaming. On this episode, we revisit the concept of "Cancel Culture," adding some considerations not addressed in the last discussion -- the emotional toll on the targeted party, the damaging impact of hateful words and actions, and the healing of the person or persons harmed. (We would like to make note here that we included a candid conversation between Brian and Drea about the tension survivors and targets of harassment may feel when presented with the option to "cancel" their offender publicly.) Now on to the second to last episode of Doom Patrol's first season, which takes us further along our journey of psychological introspection! In assessing where our heroes are emotionally, we are pleased to see how far Rita, Cliff, Larry, and Jane have come. In what appears to be their most challenging lesson to date, Mr. Nobody transports them back in time to the exact day of the adverse event or traumatic experience that led them to become members of the Doom Patrol. They're given the decision to start over, to avoid the trauma, to essentially wipe out the horrors and setbacks that sent them on the path of superhero freakdom. It isn't startling to learn that each character reckons with their past by refusing to change the course of their future. In a bold move, they accept their flaws and mistakes, acknowledging some level of accountability for their misguided actions and vowing to "do better." Rita, in fact, commandeers control of her narrative, informing Mr. Nobody that she refuses to allow her story to be told by another person. By "writing her own narrative," she secures agency and control, but she also accepts her failures. This newly realized self-efficacy can be a powerful tool. In the realm of narrative psychology, a person's life story isn't just a mundane list of facts--it's the way we integrate our experiences and events internally. Our narrative is how we weave experiences together to make a meaningful story. We are storytellers to our core. A healthy approach to identity building involves the use of competence-building themes in our narratives, which psychologists define as adaptive ways of recounting one’s life experiences. For instance, when we reflect on successes (success narratives), we think about ways in which we achieved our goals effectively and secure confidence, pride, and the drive to succeed again in the future. Failure narratives, on the other hand, allow us to appreciate our own efforts, to recognize we survived something difficult, and to tell ourselves we can be equipped to deal with future challenges. Practical tips for writing your own narrative: Be real to oneself. Don't tell your story with rose-colored glasses. Have self-compassion about your story, your hardships, and struggles. Be your own coach – try the method of "psychological distancing," which is how we intentionally reflect on our character, choices, and judgment from an external perspective. Always know your audience. Your story may be interesting to another person, but keep in mind their story as well and how they may relate to yours. You can find our Comic-Con @ Home panels here.

__label__cc	0.55321	0.44679	Book Received: Ghost of a Dream Episode 119 – Maurice Broaddus and Jerry L. Gordon Review: Purgatory by Tim Dodge On September 24, 2012, in Book Review, Cathy Russell, by Catherine Russell In Purgatory, by Tim Dodge, Charles Cunningham joins forces with Edgar Allan Poe and a mysterious character named Billy to win his salvation and gain admittance to heaven. To accomplish this, they journey to Earth to watch over Charles’s daughter, who is now an old woman. Through this act of kindness toward the daughter he barely knew in life, Charles hopes to gain admittance to the heaven that’s been denied him. But can he help his daughter before she’s harmed by a woman from his own past – a woman bent on destroying him from beyond the grave? From its Amazon description: PURGATORY is a humorous romp through mid-21st century America, teaching the four spirits that, with determination, they can overcome the things that keep them from happiness. You’ll laugh. You’ll cry. You’ll never think of Edgar Allan Poe the same way again. From the description I anticipated a humorous tale of the afterlife. However, though the tale was told in a light-hearted manner, the humor was deadpan – situational rather than through the prose itself, and I fear I missed many of the jokes. The elements were there, as promised. Edgar Allan Poe prominently featured alongside the main character, and the bumbling Billy tagged along. The three combined forces to save Charles’s daughter from a manic woman obsessed with keeping Charles from getting into Heaven. The plot progresses smoothly – a little too smoothly, so that the reader easily follows the action. However, the villain – an intelligent woman while she lived – makes many obvious mistakes. Her tragic flaw lies in her impulsiveness overriding her intellect, but her unwitting and bumbling cohort also commits outrageous acts of stupidity. It’s just a little too simple for the good guys to luck out getting such incompetent bad guys. Neither are the heroes immune to convenient stupidity. Charles fails to recognize his former mistress by sight, name, or description. However, the character of Edgar Allan Poe steals the show. He longs for his lost love, even as he drowns his sorrows with copious quantities of alcohol; yet is thoughtful enough to think of others besides himself. His short story, The Gold Bug, features prominently in the narrative; and Poe himself is endearing – portrayed as a severely flawed but noble person. The character of Billy acts as foil to Poe – both characters battle the demons that haunted them in life; they both also reflect aspects of Charles himself – though the character of Charles is less likable. By the book’s end, questions from the beginning are never addressed. The major plot point concludes, but we’re left wondering what it was all about. Why was Purgatory a place and not the transition that Catholicism says (a fact of which Charles’s teacher nuns were apparently unaware)? Perhaps the adventure itself was the transition? Why did Charles team up with Poe and Billy but never meet anyone else in the Afterlife? And why do spirits apparently go back and forth to Earth posing as humans? Purgatory is an easy and light-hearted read for anyone with a taste for the bizarre. Though I found the comedy easy to overlook, others may not. The plot is easy to follow, and though the humor was not my cup of tea, others might find it more to their taste.

__label__wiki	0.790753	0.790753	Gender and East Asian Welfare States: from Confucianism to Gender Equality Pascall, Gillian and Sung, Sirin (2007) Gender and East Asian Welfare States: from Confucianism to Gender Equality. In: Fourth Annual East Asian Social Policy Research Network (EASP), 20-21 October 2007, Tokyo. How can we understand the gender logic underpinning the welfare states/systems of East Asia? Does the comparative literature, which has largely been concerned with western Welfare states, whether in The Three Worlds of Welfare Capitalism (Esping-Andersen 1990), or in gender-based analysis of the male breadwinner model (Lewis 1992, 2001, 2006), have anything to offer in understanding the gender assumptions underpinning East Asian welfare states? Are the welfare systems of East Asian countries distinctive, with Confucian assumptions hidden beneath the surface commitment to gender equality? We will use the (mainly western) comparative literature, but argue that Confucian influences remain important, with strong assumptions of family, market and voluntary sector responsibility rather than state responsibility, strong expectations of women’s obligations, without compensating rights, a hierarchy of gender and age, and a highly distinctive, vertical family structure, in which women are subject to parents-in-law. In rapidly changing economies, these social characteristics are changing too. But they still put powerful pressures on women to conform to expectations about care, while weakening their rights to security and support. Nowhere do welfare states’ promises bring gender equality in practice. Even in Scandinavian countries women earn less, care more, and have less power than men. We shall compare East Asian countries (Japan, Korea, Taiwan where possible) with some Western ones, to argue that some major comparative data (e.g. OECD) show the extreme situation of women in these countries. Some fine new qualitative studies give us a close insight into the experience of mothers, including lone and married mothers, which help us to understand how far the gender assumptions of welfare states are from Scandinavia’s dual earner model. There are signs of change in society as well as in economy, and room for optimism that women’s involvement in social movements and academic enquiry may be challenging Confucian gender hierarchies.

__label__wiki	0.92425	0.92425	by Virginia Carter in World Media "We now face a true emergency - an absolutely unacceptable state of world affairs that has eliminated any margin for error or further delay". "We have seen influential leaders denigrate and discard the most effective methods for addressing complex threats - worldwide agreements with strong verification regimes - in favor of their own narrow interests and domestic political gain", Bronson said. The last move forward was 2018 when the world reached two minutes to midnight amid threats of climate change, nuclear fallout, and cyberwar. "[We are] explicitly warning leaders and citizens around the world that the global security situation is now more risky than it has ever been, even at the height of the Cold War". North Korea has threatened to abandon negotiations with the United States altogether, saying the previous year and a half of talks was 'lost time'. The greatest threats to humanity, as outlined by the Bulletin, are "nuclear war and climate change", which are "compounded by a threat multiplier - cyber-enabled information warfare - that undercuts society's ability to respond". The countdown was established in 1947 by experts from The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists who were working on the Manhattan Project to design and build the first atomic bomb. The United Nations put out a report just last month noting carbon emissions need to fall almost 80 per cent this decade to avert the worst impacts of climate change yet this week atmospheric levels reached a new height. According to the Bulletin, the world's most safe and secure period came in post-Cold War 1991, when the clock was 17 minutes from midnight. In 2007 the group added climate change as a factor in the clock's setting. The clock (which, by the way, does not exist physically-you can't go visit it, which would probably be the most existentially distressing long weekend one could plan) is meant to remind us that global catastrophe has been just around the proverbial corner from the moment our species entered its nuclear age. "Without conscious efforts to reinvigorate arms control, the world is headed into an unregulated nuclear environment", Sharon Squassoni, member of the Bulletin's Science & Security Board, announced on January 23. "The global security situation is dire, not just because these threats exist, but because world leaders have allowed the worldwide political infrastructure for managing them to erode", it said. The clock was farthest from midnight in 1991, when it was moved back to 17 minutes after the US and Soviet Union signed the first Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty. Referencing "the new abnormal" introduced previous year, the 2020 statement warned, "This risky situation remains-and continues to deteriorate". If this doesn't show us climate change is here, then I don't know what will. The announcement will be made by Rachel Bronson, president and CEO of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, as well as former California governor and the current executive chair at the Bulletin, Jerry Brown.

A federal jury in Baton Rouge on Monday convicted 74-year-old Wen Chyu Liu, also known as David Liou, of conspiracy to commit trade secret theft and perjury. Liu worked at Dow's Plaquemine facility before he retired in 1992. Prosecutors said he conspired with other employees to sell confidential information about the company's production of a polymer called chlorinated polyethylene, which is used in automotive hoses, vinyl siding and other products. The Houston resident faces a maximum sentence of 15 years in prison. His attorney said Liu was stunned by the verdict and had no knowledge of stolen trade secrets.

__label__cc	0.62654	0.37346	The Inflation Prisoner About 30 years ago, I read a book by Irwin Schiff (yes, THAT Irwin Schiff) called The Biggest Con in which he exposed Keynesian economics and declaring that the only "arrow in the quiver" of Keynesianism was inflation. As I read Paul Krugman's column today on Spain and its problems, I can see that if Krugman is the most public spokesman today for Keynesian thinking, then Schiff was correct. Let me begin. In The General Theory, John Maynard Keynes argues that the standard supply-demand wage theory holds only if there is full employment of labor. However, if there is widespread unemployment, the way to get labor back to full-employment levels is to sneak in a general wage cut via inflation. Keynes writes: ...it is fortunate that the workers, though unconsciously, are instinctively more reasonable economists than the classical school, inasmuch as they resist reductions of money-wages, which are seldom or never of an all-round character, even though the existing real equivalent of these wages exceeds the marginal disutility of the existing employment; whereas they do not resist reductions of real wages, which are associated with increases in aggregate employment and leave relative money-wages unchanged, unless the reduction proceeds so far as to threaten a reduction of the real wage below the marginal disutility of the existing volume of employment. Every trade union will put up some resistance to a cut in money-wages, however small. But since no trade union would dream of striking on every occasion of a rise in the cost of living, they do not raise the obstacle to any increase in aggregate employment which is attributed to them by the classical school. (Emphasis mine) I believe that the concepts shown in this paragraph really are at the heart of Krugman's column today in which he says that Spain easily could get out of its present situation if it had its own currency and could engage in a devaluation which, in his view, would establish something close to full employment and boost Spanish exports. He writes: Now what? If Spain still had its own currency, like the United States — or like Britain, which shares some of the same characteristics — it could have let that currency fall, making its industry competitive again. But with Spain on the euro, that option isn’t available. Instead, Spain must achieve “internal devaluation”: it must cut wages and prices until its costs are back in line with its neighbors. And internal devaluation is an ugly affair. For one thing, it’s slow: it normally take years of high unemployment to push wages down. Beyond that, falling wages mean falling incomes, while debt stays the same. So internal devaluation worsens the private sector’s debt problems. What all this means for Spain is very poor economic prospects over the next few years. America’s recovery has been disappointing, especially in terms of jobs — but at least we’ve seen some growth, with real G.D.P. more or less back to its pre-crisis peak, and we can reasonably expect future growth to help bring our deficit under control. Spain, on the other hand, hasn’t recovered at all. And the lack of recovery translates into fears about Spain’s fiscal future. Should Spain try to break out of this trap by leaving the euro, and re-establishing its own currency? Will it? The answer to both questions is, probably not. Spain would be better off now if it had never adopted the euro — but trying to leave would create a huge banking crisis, as depositors raced to move their money elsewhere. Unless there’s a catastrophic bank crisis anyway — which seems plausible for Greece and increasingly possible in Ireland, but unlikely though not impossible for Spain — it’s hard to see any Spanish government taking the risk of “de-euroizing.” The concept is strikingly similar to what Keynes wrote, although Krugman also exposes his own biases of aggregation in this column. After all, what happens when a government devaluates the currency? There is a cut in real wages, and while the goods denominated in that currency become cheaper relative to goods made elsewhere, nonetheless people at home do suffer a fall in their standard of living. Like Keynes, Krugman argues that what he calls an "internal devaluation" is bad because real wages are cut and people can see firsthand that they are making less, and in countries like Spain that are dominated by labor unions, that spells trouble. However, an inflation-led "wage cut" tends to be less visible or less clear, even if the same thing, relatively speaking, is accomplished. However, all of this assumes that the effects of inflation are exactly the same as a cut in wages and government spending. (Actually, Krugman believes that inflation is superior because, in his view, people spend more in the short term, which he claims gives an economy "traction," enabling it to move forward on its own.) According to Krugman, or at least what I ascertain through his columns, inflation does not distort the structures of production nor cause any internal dislocations. This last point is important, because one can have such a view ONLY if factors of production are homogeneous. However, if there are malinvestments that come about through inflation, and these malinvestments over time become unsustainable, then there is a problem. In a nutshell, that is a huge difference between Austrians and Keynesians. While the devaluation of which Krugman speaks might have some "good effects" at first, nonetheless, this "solution" only exacerbates the long-term problem. For example, within an economy, the wages that tend to be out-of-kilter with the rest of the economy often are centered in unionized industries, and when inflation hits, those sectors tend to be able to force employers (and the government, since these countries have powerful public sector unions) to give raises that better keep up with inflation than workers who either are not unionized or have weak or non-existent political connections. Thus, the internal distortions are likely to grow. In countries like Spain, Greece, and Portugal, the very sectors that are bloated and are gobbling up resources are the government sectors. A bout of inflation in the long run then would further empower those very employment groups that are most responsible for the current trouble. To a Keynesian like Krugman, none of this matters, as all sectors are homogeneous and there is no such thing as economic distortion. The only thing that matters are aggregate numbers, as economics to him is nothing more than charts, numbers, and aggregations. To "cure" an economy, give it a bout of inflation, and when the inevitable problem arise, deal with them via another bout of inflation. When things deteriorate -- as they surely will -- then one blames the "greedy" corporations which, in the view of someone like Krugman, need to be reined in by activist government. All that is needed is to find the "Goldstein," demonize, rage on, and then inflate some more. In the end, THAT is the "Krugman solution." Labels: Devaluation, Europe, Inflation, Keynesian Economics, Spain Well, here's a billion dollar question. What happens when everybody is working in the government sector? And what happens when a country, with a diminished private sector, has a government sector which can keep outvoting it in elections everytime the government runs out of money? Mike Cheel said... @Anonymous Well you would be living in the US in about 5 years or so from now. Krugman is partly right, but for the wrong reasons. Leaving the EMU would be good for Spain but not because they could then happily devalue their own currency and get "full employment". The main accomplishment would be to remove Spain from the EU welfare teat and make it much harder for Spain to borrow money to pay for welfare and pork spending. I really like your post. I like that you read Keynes in order to debunk it as opposed to the normal course of talking about something without first trying to understand it. I will book bookmarking your site and look forward to reading more of your posts. I linked here through mises.org and have only heard the term "austrian economics" within the last day. I look forward to learning more about it but like everything else I'm suspect. I'm an Adam Smith guy. I've never read Keynes or Mises, but I look forward to reading both before sketching my composite. Thanks for writing your thoughts! @The last Anonymous... You might enjoy What Obama Does Not Know as it highlights what makes the Austrian School different. Looks like Krugman is following the lead of none other than Frederick Hayek to me. Hayek: "Let me say, first, that there are two circumstances in which changes in aggregate demand are indeed the dominating factor in determining the level of unemploymet... "In 1925, Great Britain had made a laudable attempt to return to Great Britain had made a laudable attempt to return to gold but mistakenly to do so at the former parity. This policy created a situation where real wages were generally too high because they had been artificially raised by the revaluation of the pound. In consequence, British industry, largely dependent on exports, had become unable to compete in the world market. In this situation, the restoration of employment required a reduction of real wages which could be achieved by a achieved by a general rise of prices" Count to 10 said... Trying to use inflation to lower wages is basically just another way of treating a symptom rather than the underlying problem. In this case, the laws and practices surrounding our employment system have calcified the labor market, particularly by allowing the existence of unions.

__label__wiki	0.652218	0.652218	Finally Free (18) The time will then finally come for the righteous soul to depart from this transient, fleeting and constricted abode, a life polluted and tainted with a mixture of joy and pain, sadness and happiness. Now the time has come for the soul to become separated from the body, for the body to be left lifeless, still without motion or movement, and for the soul…to fly, to fly towards its Lord and towards the eternal abode of the Next, leaving behind a body that was swift in obeying and undertaking the commands of Allah and limbs shining forth with the signs of Ablution. The Angel of Death will come and sit down right by the head of the believer and begin to give glad tidings to the believer at this difficult and arduous time. In this way, by the Mercy and Help of Allah, he will strengthen the slave as the slave finds himself at an intricate cross junction, the junction between life and death. The Angel of Death will declare, ‘O good, secure soul, come out to the forgiveness and pleasure of Allah.’ (This lengthy hadith narrated by al-Baraa ibn Aazib is reported by Ahmad Ibn Hanbal, Abu Dawud, Ibn Majah, at-Tayalisi, and al-Hakim who said it is according to the standards of Bukhari and Muslim.) Then the throes of death will begin, the very throes that Allah (Almighty) has informed and warned us of in the Qur’aan: {And the stupor of death will come in truth: "This is what you have been avoiding!"} (Qaaf [50]:19) For some, the soul will be extracted within seconds, for others minutes, for others hours and so on and so forth…according to the Will of Allah, Almighty. There are many stories related by our elders about how certain people experienced the throes of death for days on end, which may be due to a sin they committed. On the contrary, the good soul comes out easily, receiving many glad tidings by the Angels of Mercy. They welcome the righteous soul into the next realm by saying, “Come out to the spirit of Allah.” (Ibn Hibbaan, Saheeh, a similar hadeeth is narrated by Ibn Maajah with a Saheeh Isnaad. See al-Albaani, Saheeh at-Targheeb wat-Tarheeb.) “‘Come out, O good soul who was in a good body! Come out praiseworthy, and receive the glad tiding of comfort and sweet scent, and a Lord who is not angry.’ They keep on saying this until (the soul) comes out…” (Ibn Maajah. This Hadeeth is also to be found in al-Albaani, Saheeh al-Jaami; no 1964, and at-Targheeb wat-Tarheeb.) The Prophet (peace be upon him) also said, “Until when his soul comes out, every angel who is between the heaven and the earth will pray for him, as will every angel in heaven. The gates of heaven will be opened for him, and the people in every level of heaven will pray to Allah to permit his soul to ascend through their domain.” (This lengthy hadith narrated by al-Baraa ibn Aazib is reported by Ahmad Ibn Hanbal, Abu Dawud, Ibn Majah, at-Tayalisi, and al-Hakim who said it is according to the standards of Bukhari and Muslim.) The Angel of Death will then extract the good soul with great ease and care. A narrator of the famous Hadeeth of al-Baraa’ Ibn Aazib (rahimahullah) stated, “So it (i.e. the soul) will come out like a drop of water coming out of the mouth of a waterskin, and he [the Angel of Death] will take it.” (ibid.) He will then pass the soul onto the other angels present and the angels will be so eager that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said, “When (the Angel of Death) has taken the soul, other angels don’t leave it in his hand for a moment, they take it straightaway, wrap it in the shroud and scent it with the Hunoot. This is what Allah says, {… Until when death approaches one of you, Our Messengers (Angel of Death and his assistants) take his soul, and they never neglect their duty.} (Al-An’aam [6]: 61) And there emerges from the soul a scent like the finest musk to be found on the face of the earth…” (Ibid.) “It departs with the most beautiful scent of musk. They even pass it from one angel to the next, smelling it.” (Recorded by Ibn Hibbaan and Ibn Majah; verified to be authentic.) Such will be the beautiful scent emanating from the soul of this believer that the people of the heaven will be able to smell it! They will like this emanating scent so much that they will exclaim the following supplication, “It is a good soul, which had come from the earth; may Allah bless you and the body which you occupied.” (Saheeh Muslim) The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, “…So (the soul) comes out, (smelling) like the best scent of musk. Then the angels pass the soul to one another, smelling it, until they bring it to the (first) heaven.” (Ibn Hibbaan, Saheeh, a similar hadeeth is narrated by Ibn Maajah with a Saheeh Isnaad. See al-Albaani, Saheeh at-Targheeb wat-Tarheeb.) He also elaborated: “They take the soul up, and whenever they take it past a group of angels, they say, ‘Who is this good soul?’ And they reply, ‘It is so-and-so, the son of so-and-so.’ Using the best names with which he was addressed in this world.” (This lengthy hadith narrated by al-Baraa ibn Aazib is reported by Ahmad Ibn Hanbal, Abu Dawud, Ibn Majah, at-Tayalisi, and al-Hakim who said it is according to the standards of Bukhari and Muslim.) This proves that righteousness not only brings a good name and happiness to a person’s loved ones in this life but also in the next. What an honor for such blessed parents! The Prophet (peace be upon him) also said, “They say, ‘What is this beautiful scent which has come from the earth?’” (Ibn Hibbaan, Saheeh, a similar hadeeth is narrated by Ibn Maajah with a Saheeh Isnaad. See al-Albaani, Saheeh at-Targheeb wat-Tarheeb.) And: “In every heaven the same question is asked, until they bring him to join the souls of the believers.” (Ibid.) “They continue their ascent, and as they arrive at each one of the heavens, the same thing is said to them.” (Recorded by Ibn Hibbaan and Ibn Majah; verified to be authentic.) The angels accompany and traverse the heavens with this soul, which is contained within paradise’s white silk, smelling of paradise’s musk, depicting its destination. After the Angels of Mercy have faithfully and diligently undertaken their role, now the people of heaven welcome the believer with a reception and welcome unseen and unknown to us in this world. Although we may have witnessed many royal grand receptions on TV, and we may have many times been welcomed by friends and family in a warm and pleasant manner, but the reception of this believer’s soul is of another kind altogether, for they will be celebrating the arrival of their beloved brother or sister in faith within their midst after a lengthy separation. Therefore, their delight will know no bound, as they begin to give this pure soul glad tidings and welcome it with more joy than the joy felt by the family of a person who has been missing for some time at the long-awaited meeting and reunion with their loved one. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, ‘They are more overjoyed to welcome him than the family of one who has been absent, when he comes home…’ (Ibn Hibbaan, Saheeh, a similar hadeeth is narrated by Ibn Maajah with a Saheeh Isnaad. See al-Albaani, Saheeh at-Targheeb wat-Tarheeb.) Now, the beautiful lights, lakes, delights and streams of paradise come into full view. The believer will finally feel untainted rest and repose from the hardships, difficulties, persecutions and taunts of the wicked of the world as soon as he meets his loved ones in the paradise of delights. Indeed, as the Prophet (peace be upon him) described them, the “Angels of Mercy” will say as they lookout for the best interest of the believer, ‘Leave him to rest, for he has been suffering in this world.’ (Ibid.) That which will further increase him in happiness and relief is the fact that Allah (Almighty) will make it such that the believer will be shown the Fire from which he was saved. When the believer witnesses such a horrific scene he will realize how precious and important faith really is, how vividly precise the Qur’aan is in its mentions of the Hellfire, and how great the Mercy and Help of Allah is that He did not destine him to the eternal flames of the hellfire, though his deeds are few and mistakes many. “(They then go on) until they reach the first heaven; they ask for it to be opened, and it is opened for them. In each heaven, those who are closest to Allah will accompany him to the next heaven, until they reach the seventh heaven…” (This lengthy hadith narrated by al-Baraa ibn Aazib is reported by Ahmad Ibn Hanbal, Abu Dawud, Ibn Majah, at-Tayalisi, and al-Hakim who said it is according to the standards of Bukhari and Muslim.) “…Then they take it up to the heaven, and ask for it to be opened for him. It is asked, ‘Who is this?’ And they say, ‘So-and-so’, so (the inhabitants of the heaven) say: ‘Welcome to the good soul, who is in a good body; enter praiseworthy and receive the good tidings of comfort and sweet scents, and a Lord who is not angry.’ And they carry on saying this until they reach the (highest) heaven where Allah, may He be Blessed and Exalted, is…” (Ibn Maajah. This Hadeeth is also to be found in al-Albaani, Saheeh al-Jaami; no 1964, and at-Targheeb wat-Tarheeb.) “…Allah, may He be Exalted and Glorified, will say, ‘Register the book of my slave in ‘Illiyyoon.’” {And what will make you know what 'Illiyyûn is? A Register Inscribed. To which bear witness those nearest (to Allâh, i.e. the angels).} (Al-Mutaffifeen [83]: 19-21) Although we find that the term “al-‘Illiyyoon” has been literally translated as meaning “The High Places”, ‘Illiyyoon actually comes from the root word of ‘uluww, which means highness. It is a place in the seventh sky, which is the highest sky, where the souls of the believers are gathered, as the Companion of the Prophet Ibn ‘Abbaas (may Allah be pleased with him) explained, and it also carries the meaning of a very high and wide place, as described by the great Mufassir, Imaam Ibn Kathir (rahimahullah). The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, “…So his book will be registered in ‘Illiyyoon.” (This lengthy hadith narrated by al-Baraa ibn Aazib is reported by Ahmad Ibn Hanbal, Abu Dawud, Ibn Majah, at-Tayalisi, and al-Hakim who said it is according to the standards of Bukhari and Muslim.) And truly, that person has gained the real, everlasting and much desired success! May Allah (Almighty) make us of those whose books will be registered in the ‘Illiyyoon by forgiving our mistakes, raising our ranks and drawing us close to Himself. Aameen!

Ee Pattanathil Bhootham (EPB)is a fantasy movie, which also seems to be meant for children. Like the tales of Balaramayan, the movie deals with magic and bhootham. There are very few plus points in EPB to count. Hilarious slapstick comedy, Mammootty’s performance, and amazing graphic work are few of the highlights. But the number of minus points is more. Johny Antony’s selection of weak script and uninteresting way of narration spoil the movie, which has a predictable story line, characters and situations. The movie seems to be very dull because of too much of animation. Shaan’s music is another let down and it could have been bettered lot more. http://rapidshare.com/files/285706368/Ee_Pattanathil_Bhootham__2009__PDVDRip__mallumagic_.part1.rar Malayalam Movie Collections\|	cc/2021-04/en_middle_0047.json.gz/line135

The first official tournament the team partecipated in was in a small league called Divisione Meridionale. The first season the team was only made of Sardinians but when Cagliari lost the final in the Divisione Meridionale in 1929/1930 the team started to look at the Italian Peninsula for reinforcement. The year after they made progress to Serie B after the new league structure by the guidance of Hungarian trainer Ernst 'Egri' Ernstein. While the team was on its way up it was fighting with financial problems and in 1935 the team had to be refounded (CAXI: is this a a word I just made up?) the same year with the consequence that the team had to start all over again in the last divison: Seconda Divisione. Hereafter the team advanced to Serie C in 1937 and from then on fighted between Serie C and Serie B. They finally reached Serie A in 1964 for the first time in their history. Cagliari was lead by Luigi Riva, the all-time topscorer for the Italian National Team, and the biggest legend in Cagliari playing there from 1963-1976. He gave the team its first succes in Serie A being the topscorer in 1966/67 season. This achievement he did again in two other seasons. Cagliari had their so far best season in 1968/69 when they became runners-up in Serie A, and the year after they won their, so far only, Serie A title. This was the first time a Southern Italian team achieved this. After their Scudetto season the team started to decline again, especially because Luigi Riva had some serious injuries, and fell back to Serie B already in 1976. Cagliari elevated between Serie A and B the seasons to come but their biggest blow came in 1986 when they were involved in the match fixing scandal 'Totnero'. Cagliari was punished with -5 points in Serie B and thus didn't survive and got relegated to Serie C1. The team didn't give up and already in the season of 1990/1991 they were back in Serie A. During this seasin the team changed ownership to Massimo Cellino, who is still president today. The team was developing good results and in 1993/94 season the team achieved it's so far best record in Europe, reaching the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup. Once again the team couldn't keep consistency and relegated to Serie B in 1997. The team came back to Serie A in 2004, thanks to trainer Edoardo Reja, where they have been since. The latest seasons it has been common to see Cagliari changing coaches often: since 2004 the team has changed coaches 14 times by 10 different coaches. Despite that the team has consolidated itself in the middle of Serie A and are now trying to build a team up to fight for European spots.

Each ECL was simulated with two different SST datasets: the Bluelink SST field and NCEP skin temperature field. The former resolved eddies in the East Australian Current while the latter did not. The simulated SLP fields in the eddy-resolving SST runs were compared with those in the non-eddy-resolving SST runs. On time-scales of about 48 hours, higher SSTs were asso-ciated with lower SLPs. The spatial scale of the SLP response was similar to that of the ocean eddies, indicative of the rapidity and robustness of the response given the rapidly evolving conditions within the storms. On shorter time-scales, the SLP response to SST change can become substantially larger. The largest reductions in SLP in the eddy-resolving SST runs were associated with regions of deep atmospheric convection that warm the tropospheric column. These areas were shown to be related to the SST distribution with the greatest SLP reductions associated with convection over strong SST gradient regions. The landfall of a damaging convective mesoscale low pressure system on 8 June 2007 was also investigated. It was found that a region of strong SST gradients on the southern flank of a large warm ocean eddy was associated with lower pressures at the time of formation of this meso-low. In addition, the only case that simulated the low pressure at the correct time (albeit at not quite the correct location) was the eddy-resolved SST run. It was hy-pothesized that the development of this meso-low that impacted the coast around Newcastle, was enhanced because of the eddy-scale SST distribution at the time. Annual sea level variations off Atlantic Canada from satellite altimetry by Guoqi Han, Nancy Chen, Zhimin Ma Satell Oceanogr Meteorol 2017, 1(1), 19-28; doi: 10.18063/SOM.2016.01.002 Annual cycle of sea level off Atlantic Canada has been investigated based on a merged satellite altimetry dataset and a monthly temperature and salinity dataset. The altimetric results were compared with coastal tide-gauge data and steric height calculated from the temperature and salinity dataset. There was a general north-south variation in the amplitude of the altimetric annual cycle, increasing from 4 cm in the Labrador Sea to 15 cm in the Gulf Stream and the North Atlantic Current Region. The annual cycle in the deep ocean can approximately be accounted for by the steric height variability relative to 700 m, in which the thermosteric effect was the dominant contributor. The halosteric effect over the continental slope, especially over the northern Labrador Slope was also important. While the thermosteric effect occurred dominantly at the top 100 m water column, there was substantial halosteric variation in the 100–300 m water column. The annual sea level cycle along the Canadian Atlantic coast showed a complicated pattern in amplitude, but the phase was highly coherent with the highest sea level in fall. The steric height accounts for a substantial portion of the coastal annual cycle, but other factors such as wind forcing may be equally important. A comparative study of satellite-based operational analyses and ship-based in-situ observations of sea surface temperatures over the eastern Canadian shelf by Yongsheng Wu, Jinyu Sheng, Dave Senciall, Charles Tang The satellite-based operational sea surface temperature (SST) was compared to the ship-based in-situ SSTs established by the Atlantic Zone Monitoring Program (AZMP) over the eastern Canadian shelf (ECS) for a 3-year anal-ysis period (2005–2007). Two sets of operational SST analyses were considered in this study, with one set produced by the Canadian Meteorological Centre (CMC) and the other produced by the National Centers for Environmental Predic-tion (NCEP). The comparative study indicated that there was no appreciable systematic difference between the CMC and NCEP SST analyses over the ECS. The root mean squared difference (RMSD) between the AZMP ship-based in-situ SSTs and the satellite-based STT analyses over the ECS was about 1.0°C, without any obvious seasonal or geo-graphic trend. The RMSDs were relatively larger over the outer flank of the Grand Banks than the other regions of the ECS, mainly due to dynamically complicated circulation and hydrographic conditions over this shelf break area associated with the Labrador Current. Assessing the performance of a multi-nested ocean circulation model using satellite remote sensing and in situ observations by Shiliang Shan, Jinyu Sheng, Kyoko Ohashi, Mathieu Dever This study presents a multi-nested ocean circulation model developed recently for the central Scotian Shelf. The model consists of four submodels downscaling from the eastern Canadian Shelf to the central Scotian Shelf. The model is driven by tides, river discharges, and atmospheric forcing. The model results are validated against observations, including satellite remote sensing data from GHRSST and Aquarius and in situ measurements taken by tide gauges, a marine buoy, ADCPs and CTDs. The ocean circulation model is able to capture variations of sea level, hydrography and the Nova Scotia Current on timescales of days to seasons over the central Scotian Shelf. Model results are used in a process study to examine the effect of tidal mixing and wind-driven coastal upwelling in the formation of cold surface waters along the coast of Nova Scotia. Response of the tropical Pacific Ocean to wind changes related to global warming from simulations with an ocean general circulation model by Yiyong Luo A suite of numerical experiments is implemented with an ocean general circulation model (OGCM) to ex-amine the roles of wind stress and wind speed for oceanic changes in the tropical Pacific under global warming. In particular, we turned off the changes of wind stress and/or wind speed in the model to identify the effects of wind-driven ocean circulation and air-sea latent heat flux (i.e., its portion through the wind speed influence on the efficiency of latent heat flux). Results show that 1) the wind stress change appears to be a key forcing mechanism for weakening the tropical surface currents as well as for the oceanic changes in the equatorial thermocline, while it only contributes secondarily to the sea surface temperature (SST) pattern formation in the tropics; 2) the wind speed change is the leading cause for the minimum warming over the southeast subtropics and for a stronger surface warming in the northern hemisphere than in the southern hemisphere; and 3) the enhanced surface warming along the equator is mainly due to the effect of warming in the absence of wind stress and wind speed changes, and this effect also plays a significant role for changing the equatorial thermocline. Relationship between extensive and persistent extreme cold events in China and stratospheric circulation anomalies by Hui Yang, Xinrong Chen, Gui-Ying Yang This study examines the relationship between the extensive and persistent extreme cold events (EPECEs) in China and geopotential height anomalies in the stratosphere using daily mean fields of outgoing long wave radiation (OLR) produced by the NCAR and daily atmospheric circulations produced by the NCEP/NCAR. The OLR composite analysis for the EPECE in China demonstrates that the negative OLR height anomalies (cold air) originated from Siberia influence China progressively from north to south. The largest negative OLR height anomaly (cooling event) occurs in the region to the north of the Nanling Mountains. This suggests that the OLR height anomalies can be used to represent the temporal and spatial characteristics of extreme low temperatures and cold air activities in winter in China. The composite analysis of large-scale atmospheric circulations during the EPECE reveals characteristic evolutions of stratospheric and tropospheric circulations during the extreme cold event. We demonstrate the important role of atmospheric circulation anomalies in the outbreak and dissipation of the EPECE in China. We also demonstrate that significant perturbations in the stratospheric circulation occur more than 10 days prior to the outbreak of the EPECE, with positive height anomalies in the Arctic stratosphere. These positive anomalies propagate downward from the stratosphere and affect the formation and development of the high pressure ridge in the middle troposphere over the Ural Mountains. Significant changes also occur in the atmospheric circulation in the mid-latitude stratosphere. These changes propagate downward from the stratosphere and strengthen the low pressure trough in the troposphere in the region to the east of Lake Balkhash and Lake Baikal. Therefore, the changes in the stratospheric circulation during the EPECE in China occur prior to changes in the tropospheric circulation and are very useful for predicting extreme wintertime cold temperatures in China.	cc/2021-04/en_middle_0047.json.gz/line158

Omnologos on LinkedIn Tag: Simon Singh AGW catastrophism Global Warming Omniclimate Science Skepticism Orwell Explains Simon Singh (And Other Intellectual Bankruptcies) Post author By Maurizio Morabito (omnologos) 3 Comments on Orwell Explains Simon Singh (And Other Intellectual Bankruptcies) It’s been a source of constant surprise the fact that Simon Singh, “a British author who has specialised in writing about mathematical and scientific topics in an accessible manner” would be willing to tell Wired wholly antiscientific statements such as in response to a question “How are we supposed to know what’s true?“: Don’t come up with a view, find everybody who agrees with it, and then say, “Look at this, I must be right.” Start off by saying, “Who do I trust?” On global warming, for example, I happen to trust climate experts, world academies of science, Nobel laureates, and certain science journalists. You have to decide who you trust before you decide what to believe. Throwing oneself into the hands of the experts? That’s a total abdication from reason, an open-armed welcome to complete foolishness as a tool for scientific debate, and a justification for chiropractors if they had any working brain cell left. It’s the “death of knowledge“, as pointed out by Karl Popper in “The Myth of Framework” (already mentioned here by Nicholas Hallam Mar 31, 2011 at 2:43 PM): […] in my view, the appeal to the authority of experts should be neither excused nor defended. It should, on the contrary, be recognized for what it is – an intellectual fashion – and it should be attacked by a frank acknowledgement of how little we know, and how much that little is due to people who have worked in many fields at the same time. And it should also be attacked by the recognition that the orthodoxy produced by intellectual fashions, specialization, and the appeal to authorities is the death of knowledge, and that the growth of knowledge depends entirely upon disagreement Singh repeated the same foolish argument at the Spectator “Global Warming Hysteria” debate(London, March 29 2011), as reported by the Bish: Simon Singh’s presentation was memorable, but unfortunately mostly for the wrong reasons. He set up what he called a credibility spectrum, with scientists and academies on one side and sceptics on the other and called on us to trust the establishment on the climate change issue. His whole presentation, while outstanding in terms of slick delivery, was an intellectual void, amounting to little more than ten minutes of argument from authority, a point later made by Graham Stringer. It struck me as a little ambitious to even try this sort of fallacious approach to an audience that was likely to be both hostile and well informed on climate science itself. As catcalls of “what about the hockey stick?” rang out, it was clear that many people knew exactly what has been happening. Asking these same people to trust the word of the scientists struck me as a foolish mistake. It’s a point made also by Fraser Nelson: the argument “trust the experts” is becoming less persuasive as the information revolution progresses. Hierarchies are being flattened in every walk of life, and this includes intellectual hierarchies. As Mark Penn says, elites are more impressionable than the masses — so more likely to be persuaded by a scientific consensus. The public want to be persuaded, not told that they should believe the Clever People. Fraser goes on to describe Singh’s foolishness number two, the complete misunderstanding of the debating point: Simon Singh […] seems to be anxious to have a ding-dong with someone who doesn’t think the planet is warming and that mankind is, at least in part, responsible. I’m afraid I can’t help. My problem is with the political response to the science. As for foolishness number 3, well, nothing better than having Singh write a web article about global warming showing zero-to-nothing knowledge of the topic beyond a quick reading of the IPCC and an insane trusting of Skeptical Science. It’s a catalogue of offenses against thoughthood (sadly, same applies to others who should know better, such as Phil Plait and Bill Nye), a completely irrational behaviour that had been left unexplained. Until now. Note in fact how during the debate, Singh had some sort of slip of the tongue, saying that “the smart money was in Global Warming“, fully justifying James Delingpole’s rebuttal: Unless Singh can raise his game and actually engage with the argument rather than bullying his opponents with the help of Sleb Twitter pals and his Ipse Dixit logical fallacies, I think we all know who the real muppet is. However, if we look at it from a different point of view, it had all been described by George Orwell in “James Burnham and the Managerial Revolution” (my emphasis – there’s more to it but I’ll leave that to a different blog): Power worship blurs political judgement because it leads, almost unavoidably, to the belief that present trends will continue. Whoever is winning at the moment will always seem to be invincible. […] Within the space of five years Burnham foretold the domination of Russia by Germany and of Germany by Russia. In each case he was obeying the same instinct: the instinct to bow down before the conqueror of the moment, to accept the existing trend as irreversible. There we have poor Simon Singh then, simply continuing an established tradition among intellectuals. He believes that the pro-AGW lobby is winning, that the IPCC and the Skeptical Science’s of this world are where the “smart money” is: therefore, he “decides” to “trust” them, “decides” to “believe” in them (note the mixing up of science and faith), even roam the world to proclaim his servile, antiscientific, unreasonable stance on the topic. Just wait until the climate wind changes then, and in 2021 Singh will be out presenting a new book on “Why people wrongly believed in catastrophic climate change“. Tags Global Warming, History, Politics, Science, Simon Singh, Skepticism English Ethics Skepticism UK Simon Singh’s Unfortunate Mistake 4 Comments on Simon Singh’s Unfortunate Mistake I do not think Simon Singh‘s loss in the libel case brought by the British Chiropractic Association can be reversed. If Singh’s original sentence was the following (the article has been withdrawn) [The BCA] is the respectable face of the chiropractic profession and yet it happily promotes bogus treatments then the implication that the BCA is knowingly promoting bogus treatment could hardly have been spelled out more clearly. People may argue about the opportunity for the BCA to throw itself into what was obviously going to be a high-profile case. But if they had left Singh’s words unchallenged, surely at the BCA itself they could have open the floodgates to legal actions by unhappy clients…and especially unhappy had they learned that the BCA did not believe in its treatments. There is a general consensus that English libel laws are just unfair and can be used in lieu of censorship. But Singh wasn’t exactly born yesterday, and must have know those laws for a long time.

A reader might be tempted to think, upon seeing yet another memoir of abuse on the store shelves, that here is just another tragic story in a long line of many; that it has nothing new to say; that these memoirs are all the same. To an extent this is true: each has the sexual exploitation of children, each is an emotionally difficult read. And each makes the reader wonder at the myopic selfishness of the human race. However, each of these stories also bears the singular voice of its author, and in this respect that new memoir on the shelves is offering something new. Although childhood abuse memoirs seem to be flooding the bookshelves, each is important and necessary, for each memoir reaches different people. The abuse is the same, yet not. Louise Wisechild’s point of view in her memoir, The Obsidian Mirror, is somewhat scattered among several different characters which represent her fragmented self. The characters themselves are distracting, and yet they are what make the fragmentation real to the reader; she deftly shows us these warring factions within her, never resorting to long-winded explanations. Wisechild also demonstrates with form how memories come to her unbidden, a propos of nothing. She does this by indenting her narrative, abruptly telling the reader that she’s had a flashback. The memory narrative is a bulleted indentation, which serves to pull the reader into the past along with her; it also shows the nature of memory: we may be talking about something unrelated and poof, here’s a flashback. The simplicity of Wisechild’s story makes her book a must-read for abuse survivors who have just begun their recovery journey. It’s almost as if the author were another child whispering secrets to her friend, which makes this new journey of recovery seem manageable. Particularly helpful are her descriptions of her therapy sessions. Starting therapy is one of the scariest steps in personally dealing with childhood sexual abuse; Wisechild’s portrayal of her sessions demystifies sessions by showing her own experience. One reader on Amazon writes, “The therapy sessions are described in detail, it’s like sitting in on the session and seeing her process happening as she sifts through memories and makes connections with the way her adult attitudes and beliefs were shaped by the abuse. The reader gains vicarious healing by being drawn along in Louise Wisechild’s journey to find her answers from within herself.” Another reader writes, “In reading her book I was also introduced to bodywork as a helpful therapy to heal from the residual body effects of sexual abuse. Louise provides helpful information about this because she is a massage therapist, who works with incest survivors.” Most people—not just survivors, but the general population—have never heard of bodywork, or body memories. Wisechild writes of both as though they are natural routes to regaining mental clarity and ridding oneself of toxic shame. She is unique in this regard (I think)—most memoirists focus on their personal history. Sue William Silverman tells her story from the beginning in an unrelenting series of horrific events that she endured from early childhood into her late teens. Her memoir, Because I Remember Terror, Father, I Remember You, is both artful and restrained, which serves to emphasize the trauma she experienced. She narrates the story from as far back as she can remember, age five, telling the reader, “I knew the pleasure before the shame.” This stands out because most memoir authors do not point out that the abuse felt good. Silverman doesn’t go into detail about the pleasure, but that one sentence is significant. Readers Silverman’s memoir on Amazon write, “I found a kindred spirit in Sue. She has survived the fires of hell at her parents [sic] hands. There are many triggers in the book so if you are a survivor of sexual abuse make sure you are ready to face your body memories;” “It hurt but it helped…I identify with Sue…so much similarity in the pedifile’s [sic] character. However, Sue is much more forgiving and loyal. My father died by the time I was 18…that was closure for me;” “The writing of the book, in a sense, becomes the final chapter of her recovery;” and “To be repeatedly raped by a rich, powerful father–the silencing horror of it. And then, painfully, courageously to regain her own voice” (Amazon). People connected with Silverman’s story, and one reviewer mentioned the hope she found in Silverman’s it. This makes sense, given that Silverman mentions the pleasure she felt when her father touched her; any writer who admits that breeches another taboo that’s nestled within incest: if you’re a victim of it, you only allowed to have felt pain. Part of what is disturbing about Silverman’s story is that there’s no closure. Is there any hope for her? Or for the reader who has had the same experience? What can the reader take away to help her on her path? The open-endedness of her story illustrates the fact that recovery is a journey, and that although she has finally found her voice she doesn’t have all the answers. Survivors of abuse want someone, anyone, to have answers; it is good to be reminded that someone out there is quietly living her life not knowing everything, yet being okay with it. Lois Gould’s short story, “Businessman,” from the collection, Close to the Bone, is a memoir of her father. Her story is lush with human details. The reader knows her family. Her parents are vividly drawn, from her mother’s stylish wardrobe to her father’s cigar-smell, and the reader knows them inwardly as well: the father’s careless secretiveness, the mother’s callous disregard of her children. One thing that makes her story stand out is the fact that her father did not beat her; he beat her brother. Her father was contemptuous of women, which is not unique in these stories. But telling the story of vicarious abuse is different, and someone who grew up in a similar situation needs Gould’s story. (It’s not globally unique, of course. It’s just not what one typically discovers on the memoir shelf in a bookstore.) Catherine Texier’s short story, “My Father’s Picture,” also in Close to the Bone, actually focuses on her mother. She writes, “My mother’s breasts. They’re always in my face…I see them in the bathtub, when we take baths together” (232). Her mother flaunts her sexuality in front of Catherine in defiance of her mother, with whom they live. The story is as much about Catherine’s father’s absence as it is about her mother’s emotional and sexual abuse, but it is the female aspect of incest that is different. In fact, one wonders if readers even identify what her mother did as incest. The idea that mothers molest seems to be another taboo: only fathers perpetrate sexual abuse. Why is this? Is the concept of male power so deeply embedded in our collective psyche that mother-as-sexual-perpetrator cannot be ingested? Texier’s story shows that mother abuse exists. We need more stories like hers. Louise Wisechild’s second memoir, The Mother I Carry, is stylistically different from Obsidian Mirror. The characters she used to tell her first story still exist, but she has incorporated them into herself. She refers to them occasionally, as when she describes her reaction to a fifteen page letter her mother has written to her brother: “It’s been eight years and she still uses the same phrases she used when I was fifteen years old. And they still bring Fuckit to my throat” (199). Wisechild is fully in her body, and this is reflected in the way she recreates her childhood memories. She tells of sitting in the dirt, crying when some boys called her names: “I like how soft the dirt is. When I sit in the dirt I can feel my bottom and I don’t feel like I’ll fly away any minute…A great tiredness is pulling at my limbs” (69). She writes of a memory from age fourteen: “I hate my body for blushing. I hate my fat body for wanting a cupcake” (146). Again she emphasizes awareness of body, which few memoirs do. Her tone is still that of a confiding adolescent, but her growth along her journey shows, and now the tone seems more purposeful. In Fire of the Five Hearts, Holly A. Smith’s memoir as a therapist treating incest survivors, emotion is unfettered and freely expressed. She writes, “These children were trying desperately to mimic a secret they could barely articulate, much less comprehend” (76). She compensates for their muteness: “My sorrow has eroded and devoured my spirit. Its new embodiment comes to me in the form of tears…I feel the constriction, and…an immediate bitter taste of bile and an obstruction of air. It rises with great fury up my throat, and I cannot speak. The tears collect underneath my bottom lid and pool there, refusing to erupt and stream down my cheeks. My lower lip quivers and then is stilled. The tears evaporate, never evolving into a satisfying, cathartic weep” (63). What is ironic is that memoirists writing of any childhood abuse are strongly urged to eliminate such emotive writing from their stories because the dry telling will allow the reader to fill in the emotions herself. Any memoirist writing like Smith did would be labeled as over-wrought and dramatic. An interesting juxtaposition exists: in therapy the therapist is controlled and unemotional, while the patient is allowed free emotional expression. In both instances the restriction is necessary; nevertheless, the restriction itself is interesting. It is also ironic that memoirs are supposed to remind the reader that those little girls were much more than their bodies; what happens instead is that a sharper awareness of their bodies, their victimhood, has been created. Were we to meet any of these authors face to face, would we not think primarily of them as victims of sexual abuse? Why is this so? If we encounter a survivor of a major disaster, we do not compartmentalize them into the victim category. Rather, we regard them as people who had bad things happen to them. The people who lost their houses in the California wildfires, those who suffered through the 9/11 attacks, war survivors, hurricane Katrina victims, earthquake survivors—none of these people is automatically assigned the label of victim, yet they all underwent tremendous emotional and physical trauma. We recognize that they are more than what happened to them; they do not become the event. This is not true of sexual abuse victims. If we were to encounter, say, Sybil, on the street (assuming we recognized her,) would we not immediately think, sexual abuse? Augusten Burroughs’ name conjures the term as well, although to a lesser extent, perhaps because he has written other works that make him seem more rounded, which leads to my point: incest memoirs, instead of showing the world that the author is a human being who suffered, are instead reinforcing the notion that victims are still victims, not whole people who had bad things happen to them. Memoirs should be regarded as wounds exposed, their words the seepage of an infection too long untended. They should be seen as individual stories rather than as a whole, but somehow they still get lumped into an autobiographical stewpot in the same way that we seem to label the authors as victims. Recognizing these stories as part of a whole rather than the sum of its parts will lead to healing of the collective whole. The singular voice of each author contributes to the chorus, whether the voices are dramatic or detached, sad or triumphant. It is good that the shelves are flooded with memoirs. People are finally telling their stories, and, while those who remain silent won’t find their own stories in all of the published memoirs, they will find them somewhere, as long as the brave ones write.

Firstly, chart 1 displays that 42% and 30% of energy are used for heating and warm heating, respectively. To sum up with all, there is not a specific relation between average energy usage and greenhouse gas emissions in Australian household.

Some people believe that unpaid community service should be a compulsory part of high school programmes (for example working for a charity, improving the neighborhood or teaching sports to younger children).To what extent do you agree or disagree? As such, they are clean and usually very quiet in use – but electricity generation itself is far less clean, producing various pollutants and greenhouse gases especially from the burning of coal, and, to a lesser extent, gas in power stations across the country. After space and water heating, these account for approximately half of the electricity used in UK households. The most dramatic drops have been in the ‘cold appliances’ such as fridges, freezers and fridge-freezers that have fallen by over half in the last 20 years. The Time to Change website demonstrates the savings that can be achieved by replacing an old and inefficient appliance with a new one – so cutting costs and cutting greenhouse gas emissions go hand in hand. We are well established and respected within both the private & public sectors, working on domestic and commercial buildings. Atlantic's interest in rainwater harvesting arose from a desire both to reduce cost of living and help you save money. In the UK, the average water consumption is 173 litres per person per day; yes I couldn't believe it either. This is because the types of supply (reservoirs, underground sources, rivers etc), the quality of raw water, and geographical and environmental factors are different for each area. However, more than a third now have meters and are charged according to the amount of water they use. In England and Wales the cost of water supplied and wastewater taken away works out at around 94 pence per day. With every inch that falls on a surface of 1000 square feet, it is possible to collect approximately 2270 litres of water. With unexpected dry spells followed by weeks of rain it is very hard to judge supply - so a personal water supply can help get you through the highs and lows even if the water companies can't. The gap means those in fuel poverty in England alone face bills totalling A?1.05billion more than they can afford a€“ a jump from A?606million in 2003. He went to an electrical appliance shop yesterday and got information about two kinds of air conditioners from their energy labels but he does not understand what the figures mean. Can you help him find it out these consumption figures by using the information in the table above? What would the cost of electricity for each of the above air conditioners in one month be (assuming a 30-day month)? It seems that approximately 75 percent of the energy is consumed to achieve heating requirements. For instance, refrigeration and light need 7% and 4% of the sources of energy, however the greenhouse gas which are made are twice of their energy usages. Some people think that this is not important because life will be easier if there are fewer languages in the world.To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion? For example, the last water price review saw the water companies suggesting a 29% increase but Ofwat decided on an average 18% increase for the next 5 years. Therefore water and wastewater services have to be priced according to local conditions, the prices can be found on your water provider's website and are measured in mA?. Rainwater has no Chlorine, and has virtually zero hardnessa€”eliminating the need for water softeners and extending the life of appliances. Statistics show that most electrical energy in Hong Kong homes is used for air-conditioning, followed by water heating (see the pie chart). Despite the aforementioned purposes, other appliances have significant values in energy usage by 15 percent. Currently your water charges cover the costs of supplying water to your home and disposing of it safely when you have finished with it. Much of the cost of our water services goes to pay for collection and treatment of water to its very high standard for drinking. Rainwater harvesting will definitely help to smooth discharge to the drainage system in normal conditions. However one very important reason is to reduce stress on our estuaries, rivers and ground sources. For air-conditioning, choose air-conditioners with a 'Grade 1' energy label as they consume up to 15% less power compared with that of a 'Grade 3' air-conditioner. It is also very important to provide the means to become as independent as possible from the utility supplier, at the same time guarantying a supply in spite of possible and likely water outages in the near future. Here are the average calculations 11 mm of rainfall for metal roofs produce 1000 litres of harvested rainwater for every 100 sq. For water heating, instantaneous type water heaters are better because they provide on-demand hot water without continually storing and heating water. For lighting, choose compact fluorescent lamps instead of incandescent lamps as the latter can only convert 10% of electrical energy into light. Moreover, some halogen lamps operate at 12-V or 24-V supply and therefore step-down transformers are required.

__label__wiki	0.639541	0.639541	Home / Cambalache Masters of the son jarocho, Cambalache returns to the Shannon Center with their exciting performance that draws the audience in to participate in the spirit of the fandango. Cambalache (una palabra española que significa “intercambio”), es un grupo de músicos del este de Los Ángeles, que toca música de son jarocho de Veracruz, y de México. Esta música es popular en la costa del Golfo, una región cultural formada por la cultura indígena, africana y al igual que la cultural española. Cambalache promueve la música tradicional que atrae la audiencia a participar en sus actuaciones en el espíritu del fandango, una celebración tradicional basada en la música y la danza. Cambalache (from a Spanish word that means exchange), is a group of musicians from East LA., who play son jarocho music from Veracruz, Mexico, popular on the Gulf Coast, a cultural region shaped by indigenous and African culture, as well as Spanish. Cambalache promotes traditional Son Jarocho music that draws the audience in to participate in their performances in the spirit of the fandango, a traditional celebration based on music and dance. Cambalache was founded in 2009 and led by Cesar Castro (Master Luthier Sonero and Jarocho from Veracruz, Mexico). Castro began studying Son Jarocho at the age of 11 with renowned harpist, Andres Alfonso Vergara. He continued his studies with Gilberto Gutierrez of El Grupo Mono Blanco, and at age, 16, he joined the group formally. With Mono Blanco, Cesar not only travelled through Mexico, the United Status and Europe, he began teaching this cultural tradition in community centers, schools and universities in Mexico City and Veracruz. From Gilberto Gutierrez he also learned laudería, how to make instruments used in the son jarocho tradition. In 2001, Cesar began working with Chicanos in Los Angeles through a binational Exchange, Fandango Sin Fronteras that forged relationships cultivated through music, focused on building community and awareness through social gatherings, el fandango and participatory performance. In 2003 he moved to LA to teach Son Jarocho and during this time he also formed Quetzal, one of LA’s cornerstone, Chicano bands. Xochi Flores began studying son jarocho with Quetzal Flores and Russell Rodríguez in 2003 and has continued her studies by traveling to Veracruz whenever possible and with Cesar Castro. She formed part of the first Encuentro of Chicano/as/ and Jarochos in Xalapa, Veracruz. Since then, Xochi has been instrumental in the Exchange by writing grants to bring artists and community workers to the US, in hosting as well as participating in groups such as Candela (all female son jarocho group from LA) Las No que No (all female son jarocho in Highland Park), and has collaborated with groups like Quetzal, Ozomatli, Son del Centro, Son de Madera and most recently with Laura Rebolloso, in performances, recordings, group presentations, fundraising and workshops. Born and raised in East LA, Chuy Sandoval’s early musical background was formed in playing punk rock. He has been an active church musician in the greater Los Angeles area for over ten years and has had the opportunity to work with several OCP (Oregon Catholic Press) artists and composers. Chuy holds a Bachelor of Music in classical guitar performance from CSULA. Chuy was introduced to the traditional form or son jarocho in 2007 and has been an active and serious student of the genre ever since. Juan Perez, on the upright bass, has performed and recorded with one of the most renowned jarocho bands from Veracruz “Son de Madera” for seven years, and has played with Quetzal for 10 years. Juan is widely recognized as the “go to” chicano bass player for all chicano- jarocho recordings, performances and for his overall knowledge of the genre. http://jarochelo.com/cambalache/ cambalache, fandango, son jarocho Previous LinkThe War of the Worlds: A Live Radio PlayNext LinkInside Latin Jazz featuring Raul Fernandez	cc/2021-04/en_middle_0047.json.gz/line184
__label__wiki	0.539503	0.539503	← Deepening the Debate over Mass Incarceration: An Interview Prison Films: An Overview* → Racialized Mass Imprisonment: Counterinsurgency and Genocide Posted on November 14, 2015 by sdonline By Kevin “Rashid” Johnson [Kevin “Rashid” Johnson is Defense Minister of the New Afrikan Black Panther Party – Prison Chapter (not to be confused with the “New Black Panther Party”). After 20 years in Virginia prisons, he was “interstate compacted” because of his activism, first to Oregon and then to Texas. He is the author of Defying the Tomb: Selected Prison Writings and Art, Featuring Exchanges with an Outlaw (2010), as well as articles in Socialism and Democracy (nos. 38, 43, and 61 at http://sdonline.org) and many other works which can be found (along with his current address) at http://rashidmod.com. His recent web-postings include expose´s of homicidal practices of guards at his Texas prison. His theoretical writings are being collected for a forthcoming volume, Panther Vision.] Mass imprisonment and the growth and concentration of increasingly militarized police in the oppressed communities are, like the slave patrols and racial terror of the old plantation slave system, weapons of counterinsurgency aimed at containing potentially rebellious social groups, in order to preserve and protect the political-economic ascendancy of the ruling class. The distinction is that whereas yesterday the principal targeted group – namely New Afrikans/Blacks – were the driving labor force of the plantation system and therefore vital to the ruling class’s wealth and power, today their profit value is marginal at best, while the desperation and insecurity of their collective social-economic condition makes them potentially the most rebellious internal group and thus most threatening to the status quo. So containment today has a genocidal dimension much like the planters’ and subsequent systems’ policies toward the First Nations. The racialization of slavery As a counterinsurgency strategy the racialization of slavery was deliberate. It began in the late 17th century in response to frequent slave revolts that rocked the English colonial slave system here in Amerika, in which Afrikans, Europeans and Natives were equally enslaved and united in resisting. One such revolt (Bacon’s rebellion) overthrew the colonial government of Virginia in 1676 and burned down the capitol. After putting down the revolt, the colonial rulers passed laws – beginning in 1682 – which created the racialized classifications of ‘white’ and ‘Negro,’ and began phasing out the enslavement of ‘whites’ while making ‘Negroes’ permanent hereditary slaves. The ‘Negro’ was defined as anyone having a single drop of Afrikan blood, with the slave status passing from mother to child. The slave patrol system was created to enforce and reinforce this social order. As slave patrols, all whites were induced to serve as a collective policing force of the plantation system, to enforce the racial order and curb slave rebellions through imposing exceptionally brutal public terror by beatings, maimings and lynchings of slaves. Such public brutality was the norm of plantation social life and served as a pressure release for the frustrations of poor whites that might otherwise have been directed at the ruling class that was the actual cause of their misery and insecurity. The Civil War only reformed this system. The 13th Amendment legalized slavery as punishment for crime rather than as an explicitly race-based condition. However, racial stratification as an element of social control was not to end. Immediately upon passage of the 13th Amendment, criminal laws were enacted across the South called “Black Codes,” with the purpose of preserving the enslavement of New Afrikans/Blacks and the racialized status quo. The Union came to the aid of New Afrikans/Blacks by occupying the South and backing initiatives to invalidate the Black Codes. But this was done with the ulterior motive of creating an electoral base through which to develop US political ascendancy in the South. This gave rise to Reconstruction, with results very different from what the Union had aimed for, including economic, political, and educational ascension of New Afrikans and a class-based unity developing between them and many poor whites, creating the social base for a united struggle for power exercised from below.1 Southern backlash incited by the old plantation elite was swift and widespread, taking the form of white terroristic violence against New Afrikans and their white allies – especially against those New Afrikans seen as making political and economic gains – and enacting laws to disenfranchise New Afrikans and strip them of basic citizen rights. The Union soon joined the Southern backlash in undermining and ultimately betraying Reconstruction, and restoring racial reaction and the old status quo with the Southern plantation elite back in power. Racially targeted criminal laws were again asserted as the basis to justify imposing slave-like conditions and segregation (Jim Crow) on New Afrikans/Blacks. Use of the name Jim Crow symbolized the underlying racial purpose of the Southern social practices while disguising them as racially neutral. The name was that of a character in a minstrel show. Minstrel shows were stage-productions popular among Southern whites of that era, where performers (primarily whites), made up in ‘blackface,’ acted out caricatures of New Afrikans/Blacks. Texas – model of racialized prisons During the Jim Crow era, chained-together groups of New Afrikan/Black prisoners, working on plantations and roadsides (chain gangs) and contract convict labor became a common scene in the South. Indeed, chain gangs – now called “hoe squads” – are still widely used alongside other unpaid forced labor in the Texas prison system, where I’m imprisoned. It was especially in Texas that the racialized Southern prison model – now common across Amerika – developed out of the slave plantation. Also, it was Texas that set the model of “convict leasing” which saw prisoners rented out to US corporations under conditions akin to German Nazi labor camps. As Robert Perkinson reported in Texas Tough, Recorded mortality rates in excess of 20 percent, in some instances, put U.S. Steel on par with German and Japanese companies that profited from slave labor in World War II. But while these corporations have been held to account, U.S. Steel has escaped unscathed. Although the Wall Street Journal recently probed the company’s shameful history, no reparations movement has emerged among former convicts or their descendants.2 The brutality that marked the old slave system has always plagued the US prison system, and especially Texas, of which I’ve written a bit.3 So the punishment industry in Amerika from its very beginning was devised not as a means of addressing or correcting crime, but rather as a system through which to exploit, and contain, select racialized social groups, with Texas still leading the pack: Texas reigns supreme in the punishment business. With 173,000 inmates and more than twice as many paid employees as Google, Texas’s prison system is the largest in the United States, outstripping even California, which has an overall population 50 percent larger. By almost any measure, Texas stands out. The state’s per capita imprisonment rate (691 per 100,000 residents) is second only to Louisiana’s and three times higher than the Islamic Republic of Iran’s. Although Texas ranks fiftieth among states in the amount of money it spends on indigent criminal defense, it ranks first in prison growth, first in for-profit imprisonment, first in supermax lockdown, first in total number of adults under criminal justice supervision, and a resounding first in executions.4 Mass imprisonment as counterinsurgency The US mass imprisonment model developed as yet another disguised system of racialized social control and counterinsurgency in specific response to the New Afrikan/Black Liberation movement of the 1950s-60s, that both challenged and discredited the old Jim Crow system of social control, and catalyzed the various rebellious social movements of that day (including the women’s, anti-Vietnam War, Native American, Gay-Lesbian, etc. movements). But this time the policy of containment included more explicitly genocidal dimensions, especially since New Afrikans, like the Natives of the slavery era, have proven to be not only the most persistently rebellious internal group, but a proven catalyst of more systemwide revolt. Plus they are no longer a needed labor force and thus offer little profit value to the ruling class. Just as the old Jim Crow was devised to carry out a racialist program under pretence of racial neutrality, so too was the post-1960s New Jim Crow of mass imprisonment. This new stage of racialized social control again mobilized white society behind criminalizing the targeted group, this time under cover of a “tough on crime” policy. This program began with President Richard Nixon’s bid to win white Southern voters over by using racist appeals. As his special counsel John Ehrlichman admitted of Nixon’s 1968 campaign strategy, “the subliminal appeal to the anti-black voter was always present in Nixon’s statements and speeches.”5 Nixon’s principal adviser, H.R. Haldeman, revealed much the same disguised racialist agenda, that Nixon “emphasized that you have to face the fact that the whole problem is really the blacks. The key is to devise a system that recognizes this while not appearing to.”6 And here we have the hidden agenda that has colored the US “criminal justice” (sic) and political agenda since, and has been applied by both Republicans and Democrats. The racialist appeals and criminal stigma used by US politicians have been disguised with racially charged code words and stereotypes. We see this game played from Ronald Reagan’s opening his 1980 presidential campaign in Philadelphia, Mississippi, where three civil rights workers had been lynched (everyone knew this was a cloaked appeal to those who opposed integration), to George Bush, Sr.’s using the Willie Horton ad in 1988 to rile up racist white opinion against his campaign opponent Michael Dukakis (the ad portrayed Dukakis as having released a convicted Black rapist on a furlough, leading to a young white woman being raped). Bill Clinton did it in portraying welfare recipients as Black women who refused to find work while driving Cadillacs, freeloading off taxpayers; he also created more police jobs than any prior administration and sponsored a number of new criminal laws targeted at the multitudes of poor New Afrikans whom his policies would deprive of ‘legal’ means of survival. Bush Jr. and also Barack Obama continued in this vein, playing to racist white anti-migrant hysteria, etc. Each of these administrations backed the racially targeted selective drug laws and “Drug War” that saw the US prison population grow eight-fold since the 1970s, especially on account of imprisoning New Afrikans/Blacks, until the matter became the object of recent public and international scandal. This exposure and scandal came in large part from civil rights attorney and law professor Michelle Alexander’s 2010 exposé on the Drug War and mass imprisonment.7 During each of these administrations the government at all levels and media have joined together in criminalizing the image of New Afrikans, playing up criminalized racial stereotypes and concentrating increasingly militarized police forces in their communities, where, like the old slave patrols and white terrorist groups, they use routine murder and violent impunity to terrorize the populations into submission.8 And since the 1970s the government and media have stoked racialist fears to win society-wide white political support for these policies and consequent mass imprisonment targeted especially at New Afrikans. These and similar practices have played out against Brown people and lower-class whites as well, but I focus here on New Afrikans/Blacks due to the genocidal implications presented in their case. Poor whites are manipulated as the main shock troops of this process, as the vast majority of newly constructed prisons – especially the harshest and highest security-level prisons – have been located in rural white communities. The genocide factor The genocidal dimensions of mass imprisonment and criminalization of New Afrikans are evident in many regards. Foremost there is the systematic depopulation of their communities, destroying of families, removal of mothers and principal caregivers from their homes – which in turn causes great numbers of New Afrikan children to be transferred to government custody or state-sponsored foster-care (as was done to Native children); imprisoning one third of all young New Afrikan males during their most productive years and thereby forcibly preventing procreation or meaningful intimate relationships; allowing deadly diseases to fester and run rampant within US prisons and denying prisoners standard levels of medical care and often any medical care at all; inflicting mental torture on prisoners with widely used solitary confinement, typically targeted at those who hold on to their culture or critical political beliefs (portrayed by prison officials as “gang” activity); confining prisoners at extreme distances from their families and communities, thereby denying them avenues for maintaining healthy family and community ties (again, repeating practices carried out against Native youth); returning prisoners to society under such conditions as to ensure their return to prison (denying them access to public housing and public benefits/services, thus pushing them to resort to ‘crime’ or to live under conditions that violate parole or probation); removal of male role models and independent leaders from New Afrikan communities so that the youth have no positive examples nor respected interventionists, and thus look to their peers, neighborhood gangs and the entertainment media for social examples and influence; again, police targeting of New Afrikan youth with routine brutality and summary murder to inflict terror and passive submission to a system and social order that denies them their basic needs and is violently destroying them and their communities; government-facilitated narcotics infestations of their communities and incitement of “gang” wars (much as was done to Natives with alcohol and inciting inter-tribal wars to destabilize their societies, weaken their resistance, and wipe them out); suppressing, coopting and replacing New Afrikan culture and history with an imported consumerist, hedonistic, degenerate Amerikanized subculture, which is blatant cultural genocide;9 persecuting, subverting, destroying, and actively angling to prevent the development of political groups – like the Black Panther Party – that seek to organize New Afrikans to defend themselves, meet their own needs, and gain a political voice. Taken in whole and part, these measures and others meet the definitions of genocide as elaborated in international law. The International Convention on Genocide defines genocide as inflicting “any of the following acts committed with the intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial, or religious group such as”: (a) Killing members of the group; (b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; (c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; (d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group; (e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.10 The profit factor is secondary So, although mass imprisonment is a profitable (multi-billion-dollar) enterprise, comparable to the Nazi concentration labor camp system and to the US government’s bounty-payments in the 19th century for the scalps of Native men, women and children (in its drive to seize their land and be rid of their insurgent threat), prison profit is not the driving force of mass imprisonment. Nor is rehabilitation or ‘correction’ of criminal behavior, which is why no one is rehabilitated (except by their own efforts) and recidivism is the scandalous norm. The purpose is containment. And unless we collectively recognize the genocidal as well as the political dimensions of this and act accordingly, we acquiesce not only in the perpetuation of an old scheme of racial divide-and-rule and the systematic destruction of a people, but also in the continued ascendancy of an anti-human imperialist system whose policies cannot but end in exterminating us all, along with the very environment that we need in order to survive. Dare to struggle, Dare to win! All Power to the People! 1. New Afrikans had by this point coalesced and evolved into a distinct nationality of people (culturally, psychologically, linguistically, economically, and in their corresponding internal class relations). With their acquisition of land under Reconstruction (land reform) and racial exclusion, both the objective conditions and the subjective strivings for their own identity and territorial independence were organically developing. 2.

__label__wiki	0.565603	0.565603	Paris Achen Blog: Ameritolia Tag: Can Bonomo An unwitting intro to Turkish pop music Two Turkish pop music stars. One night. Two separate locations. It might seem unlikely, but it just goes to show that anything can happen in Istanbul. The Queen of Cities has been leaving visitors awestruck for more than a millennium. Apart from hearing Turkish rap blasting from vehicles on the motorways, I have been somewhat inattentive to investigating Turkey’s music scene. Just as the discovery of Turkish rap was inadvertent, so too was my unwitting introduction to Turkish pop music on Monday night, June 17, 2019. As you may remember from my last blog post, my friends, Kubilay and Zeynep, took me to a whirling dervish ceremony on Monday at a dergah (house of worship) in the Fatih district of Istanbul. Before entering the mosque, a bald man with expressive eyebrows started talking to us. When he learned that I was American, he zoomed in on me. He had a lot to say about Americans and U.S. President Donald Trump, specifically. He started out by expressing his hope that Trump will follow through on his plan to visit Turkey in July, as first reported by Middle East Eye last month. Trump and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan are already scheduled to meet at the G-20 summit June 28-29 in Osaka, Japan, where, according to Turkish media reports, Erdoğan hopes to dissuade U.S. officials from imposing sanctions over Turkey’s decision to purchase S-400 anti-aircraft missile systems from Russia. I had no idea who this man was. “He’s a famous Turkish singer,” Zeynep whispered to me, before we took a group photo together. Later, I found out his name. Mazhar Alanson is a Turkish pop music singer and guitarist who represents the “M” in the famous Turkish pop music band, MFÖ (Mazhar, Fuat and Özcan). Alanson explained that Americans have major misconceptions about Turkey. A visit from Trump could shed more light on this secular country that sits strategically where the East meets the West. “They think Turks are Arabs who carry guns around everywhere,” Alanson said. That sounds more like America, I thought, considering all of the mass shootings at schools, malls and other public places. “Americans are very pure-hearted,” Alanson continued. The problem between Turkey and America is between the governments, he said. “People are people everywhere in the world,” he said. As if that weren’t enough for one evening, Zeynep, Kubilay and I had another chance encounter with Turkish pop stardom while stuck in a traffic jam in Beşiktaş, on the way to my home in the Ortakoy neighborhood. Eurovison star Can Bonomo and his wife were sitting in a shiny black car directly next to us. A Syrian beggar was badgering them to buy a bouquet of wilted roses. Bonomo handed the man a 10-Turkish lira note but didn’t want the roses, so the man pulled off the petals and scattered them over the couple’s car. People in neighboring cars were hanging out of windows to snap photos of the musical celebrity. I had never heard of Bonomo either, but my impeccable luck for running into Turkish pop stars did prompt me to look them both up on YouTube. Alanson sounds a bit like American singer-songwriter Tom Waits. Here is MFO’s song, Yandim, which means “I have a burn.” Bonomo’s music is really catchy. Here is one of his songs called Bardak Tasiyor, which I believe is an idiom that means, “That tears it!” I have yet to learn what that means. The moral of this story is I never would have known whom I had met if it hadn’t been for my Turkish friends, Zeynep and Kubilay. I think that speaks volumes about how important it is for foreigners to befriend the natives in the country where they live. It’s more comfortable sometimes to cling to those whose cultures are most similar to ours, but we miss out on so much that way. For instance, I would have never been at that mosque that night if it hadn’t been for Kubilay’s inside knowledge, and I might never have known that I had encountered Alanson and Bonomo if I had been out with non-Turkish friends, who like me, probably wouldn’t have recognized them. And if you’re just a traveler, there are ways to befriend natives in the country you’re visiting. An app called Couch Surfers allows you to stay with people who live in the country, but if you’re not comfortable doing that, you can just meet someone for coffee or a meal. It’s a good way to learn the inside scoop on the country for which you have probably paid a lot of money to visit, and you might make a lifelong friend.

Sweet Petes: The Language of Pipes Post category:B Shapes / Classic Range Shapes / Lubinski Peterson Lines / Meerschaum / New Lines / POY - Limited Edition / Sherlock Holmes Series / Spigots / System Pipes / Vintage Shapes One part of the joy of pipe-smoking has to do with the “language” of pipes: how is it that a shape, texture, and color combine in a particular piece of briar (or other medium) to say something significant, something important, something magical to the smoker? How form and function synergize to create meaning is an endless mystery that never loses its fascination for me. And one of the chapters I’m proudest of in the book discusses just this topic—the Peterson house style. So while we wait for the book to be completed, let me show you some of the most interesting pipes that have spoken to me over the past year, sharing stories of new lines and old, antique, entry-level, obscure and high-grade. Shape D21 as Amber Spigot At the top of my list is the reappearance of a shape from 1906, the 2017 POTY, shape D21, which scores for me on many levels. I confess it was love at first sight back when I first saw it in the 1906 catalog. Later I learned I wasn’t alone in my admiration – Chuck Wright was another devoted admirer, and we’d tell anyone who would listen about these shapes. He finally acquired a set for a while, one in briar and one in meerschaum, which he gifted at his death to Tom Palmer a few years ago. But it’s more than a shape—it’s one of the great smokers in my rotation, and the proof for me of any pipe is in the end how it smokes. But the proof of the shape is in the smoking, and it has established itself in my rotation with its great conical chamber, always delivering an effortless, flavorful smoke. Shape D18 as De Luxe System A second favorite, now trickling its way down (or out of) the POY series, is 2015’s shape D18, the Founder’s Edition. I have been hoping my body chemistry would revert to its old latakia-loving ways, and while it’s recovered somewhat from the traumas of recent years, I still don’t turn to big chambers like this very often. That being said, I had the D18 De Luxe System in my cart at Smokingpipes long enough to have someone else scoop it out from under me. When a second one came up on their site the following week, I was just strong enough to resist the urge, realizing I wouldn’t smoke it enough to justify putting it in the rack. I did write Joe Kenny at the factory, however, asking if the D18 would be a permanent addition to the System lineup, as its shape is spot-on perfect for the System reservoir. He said that no, it wasn’t, these were just one-off whimsies. D18 Kapp-Royal: Amazing Grain Just as beautiful, though not a System, is the Kapp-Royal version for the Italian market. I sometimes wish Peterson would release a few of the POY as naturals, or super-high grades. Here’s a shape from Marc Brosseau’s collection that I think Peterson ought to consider re-releasing: the 36, which was originally (as seen) a small straight System. This amber-stemmed meer, hallmarked for 1901, is proof that amber isn’t as delicate as some people think. What makes it so amazing is the chubby effect achieved by the short stem. Mark’s version seems to be the shortest that was offered, as per the 1906 catalog. Shape 36 from the 1906 catalog. Notice it was available in even shorter mouthpiece lengths! This Sherlock Holmes “Original” is hallmarked N for 1900, and was up on Mike Gluckler’s Briar Blues site for a while. It’s the only time I’ve seen the 05 given a precious metal rim treatment, and it makes a fabulous calabash, don’t you think? It’s the kind of rugged-looking smoking instrument one can envision the Great Detective picking up for an evening’s ruminations. Going out beyond the stars (at least for me) was 2017’s Master Craftsmen series, ten Amber Spigots in a custom leather presentation package designed by Claudio Albieri. The last time Peterson did something on this level of extravagance was in the mid-1990s. I read a lot of harsh criticism about the MC on one of the forums, which was fascinating. Peterson seems to attract more than its share of negative criticism, and it sometimes seems like their pipes are never what some folks want them to be: their low end isn’t high enough, their high end isn’t good enough, their grain is never flawless enough. My two visual picks from the Makers Series, although the chambers in both are larger than I normally smoke, would be the B65 (2014’s POY) straight-grain and the B42 contrast-stained sandblast. The B42 I’ve long admired as one of the strangest shapes Peterson has ever released, and here it looks positively organic and handmade. The B65, 2014’s POY, my least favorite of all the POYs, but in the MC treatment it Peterson’s language comes to life: massive, masculine, full of sunlight. You can check out the Smokingpipes video and notes here. Coming back closer to my realm of pipe-possibilities is the Ebony Tank Spigot, shape D19, from the 2010 Mark Twain collection. This unique realization, with its sterling spigot and rim cap, is surprising and even a little startling, and gives off a kind of steampunk aura to me, like it’s ready for some serious mind-bending adventures. At the opposite end of the spectrum from the LT Ebony Spigot comes this exquisite high-grade Dublin & London B10. We haven’t seen many pipes from this 2016 line because of the high-quality grain requirements, but when they are released, they are always something to behold. This 124 cutty shape is a scarce and unusual entry in the Peterson shape catalog. Its first appearance is seen in the 1950 Briars by Peterson’s White Catalog. It then appears in a 1973 shape chart from Associated Imports (see below, fourth row down). It also appeared in the 1996 Old English Collection and has been seen in the churchwarden releases of recent years. The chamber is too small for me, but the lines on this Flame Grain with its stretch acrylic marmalade mouthpiece, are beautiful. This House Pipe, purportedly used in an Alfred Hitchcock film, is one of those outrageous pipes that used to have a prominent place in any truly respectable tobacconist’s shop. This one looks like it could have been made anywhere from the late 1950s through the 1980s, but I couldn’t get any information on whether it had a hallmark or not. Shape 68 Cork The Cork is another seldom-seen line, this pipe from the collection of the Snowy Owl, Thomas Carrollan. The glossary in the Peterson book gives this information: Cork c. 2000 – Higher-grade orange stain line, no band, 9mm filter, with amber-colored acrylic fishtail stem and aluminum P. European-market only. It’s also one of the earliest (if not the earliest) of Peterson acrylic mouthpieces. I’ve just recently discovered this shape on my own: the 68 is a real chunk, a handful of solid briar. It may not look it in the picture, but it’s a big, solid piece of smoking furniture, as big or bigger than the 307 / XL90, but cut not for System use but for an army or navy-mount. I’ll talk more about it in another blog. The B5 was the earliest of the B shapes to find a lasting place in the shape chart, back in the early 1990s. This gold-band Supreme, hallmarked for 1998, shows us why: it’s just a classic. It’s from Al Jones’s collection. Here’s another line we won’t see here in the US, Mario Lubinski’s Rugby, a matte green finish with a white striated acrylic mouthpiece and hot foil P, with, of course, the obligatory Lubinski sterling mount. Many of the ferrules, as you can see in the 05 and XL20 above, feature the Hinch mount. And I’ll end with what is surely the finest small batch line Peterson has ever made, in collaboration with Laudisi (Smokingpipes.com): the Arklow. As the B10 just recently appeared, I thought I’d share it with you. I can’t end without a shot of my favorite Peterson shape – where are they getting these XL339s? – in its Arklow dress: Seen at top: Makers Series 1 of 10, shape B42 (Courtesy Smokingpipes.com) Thanks to all the usual folks for use of their photos– they’re all listed in the Blogroll.

__label__wiki	0.551969	0.551969	Home » History of Sexuality Where are animals in the history of sexuality? By Gabriel Rosenberg on September 2, 2014 in History of Sexuality Gabriel N. Rosenberg What is the place of animals in the history of sexuality? In June, at a campaign stop, Mississippi Senator Thad Cochran testified about his rural roots by reminiscing on how, in his youth, he did “all kinds of indecent things to animals.” The phrase drew knowing laughs from his audience, but it caught the attention of media outlets astounded by the casual confession of bestial indecency. Had Cochran admitted to having sex with animals? And why would an audience of Republican voters laugh at that? They rushed to the zoophilic conclusion because Euro-American cultures are practiced at unseeing the intimate interactions between humans and animals that are necessary to sate collective hungers for meat. Just as meat must be made, so too must the mating. And perhaps this was the very bestial interaction, entirely normal in agricultural spaces, to which Cochran referred. A Durok sow with her piglets (Wikimedia Commons) To date, few historians of sexuality have pondered the relevance of animals to their field, except for some studies of bestiality. But what if we disposed of bestiality as the archetype of human-animal intimacy, and searched, instead, for the ways humans stimulate animals to have sex with each other. I illustrate this point by looking at a piece of common agricultural technology, illustrated in the accompanying advertisement, that was designed to manufacture animal sex and, as a result, made humans a necessary participant in animal sex and the production of animal desire. The “Van Briggle Breeding Crate” advertisement below ran in a 1920 issue of American Swineherd, a magazine for breeders of hogs, but similar advertisements for “breeding crates” can be located in any of the dozens of magazines that catered to farmers in early twentieth century America. The evolving history of hog breeding in the prior century explains this demand for the crates. In antebellum America, farmers had selectively raised hogs on forage, pasture, and kitchen scraps. Farmers thus exercised minimal control over porcine reproduction. At most, farmers castrated marginal boars, but otherwise most farmers practiced “range” or “pasture” mating: boars ran with sows in heat and mated as they would. After the American Civil War (1861-1865), however, farmers focused on the controlled and efficient management of hog reproduction through more systematic control over the conditions of reproduction and the animals to be mated. Just as animal slaughter and processing underwent industrialization in the late nineteenth century, breeding intensified – that is, mating moved from pasture to box. The stakes of this intensified breeding were considerable. By 1900, the hog population of the United States numbered around 63 million, and the total value of American livestock exceeded that of the combined capital stock of the nation’s railroads. Advertisement for a swine breeding crate from a 1920 issue of American Swineherd. This multiplication of flesh and capital, however, created mating problems for animals and humans alike. Intensive hog breeding methods meant an increasing ratio of sows to boars, eventually reaching 20 to 1 by 1900. As boars impregnated a growing population of sows, breeders needed to breed older “prolific” boars that outweighed young sows by a factor of two or three. Mating of this sort could seriously injure the sow, as her body was crushed beneath the half-ton bulk of a great, aged sire. In pasture, or even confined in the yard, young sows, fleet of hoof, fled boars or lay on their sides to make penetration impossible. To address this, breeders devised a box with an internal system of bars and levers: the breeding crate. The crate confined the sow during service and forced her to stand upright. The bars and levers, meanwhile, supported the weight of the boar and prevented injury to the sow. One breeder recommended, “give the boar every assistance you can so that he will make a good and satisfactory service.” And, indeed, if the boar, awkwardly suspended above the sow, could not penetrate her, the breeder would literally lend a hand. By 1930, American hog breeders used breeding crates even when there was no disparity of size. Expert advice in magazines, newspapers, and extension bulletins urged readers to adopt this technology for all hog services. Experts cited at least two reasons. First, the crate permitted optimal control over the timing and circumstances of mating and it allowed the breeder certainty about whether or not the service had actually been completed. Second, hogs needed to be educated in use of the crate. Boars accustomed to crate breeding at a young age were more compliant about entering the crate when they were older. An aged boar unaccustomed to the crate might violently resist, circumstances, in turn, that ruined hog erections. Given the financial stakes, breeders were attached to hog erections, as well as to the porcine desire that sustained them. To keep boars in the mood, experts prescribed gentle treatment of the boar before and during service, and they concocted complicated dietary and exercise regimens. Breeders believed Damiana, an exotic shrub, stimulated swine libido and they generously doped their boars with its extract. Reflecting and producing the idea that female bodies were passive receptacles for male desire, breeders worried little about the sow’s comfort or desire during service. Sows were forcefully driven into crates where they received sexual violence that they might have otherwise fled or resisted. Intensive breeding created a context in which human breeders both systematized sexual violence and labored to efficiently arouse the desire of male animals. A century later, animal scientists have precisely inverted this dynamic. Artificial insemination means that the boar’s desire is largely irrelevant. With a reserve of boar semen, the boar’s physical presence, let alone his erection, is no longer necessary to porcine reproduction. Animal scientists note that sows tend to give larger litters when they are aroused during insemination. During insemination, human technicians now labor to “simulate” arousing sex for the sow. When the technician climbs on to the back of the sow to give a sensation of anachronistic “old fashioned” swine sex, it becomes obvious that the very normal practice of agriculture contains within it an extraordinary fluidity, promiscuity, and complexity of pleasures and bodies that remain curiously excluded from the history of sexuality. Gabriel N. Rosenberg is an Assistant Professor of the Practice in the Program in Women’s Studies at Duke University. His research interweaves histories of the global food system with histories of race, gender, and sexuality. He received his Ph.D. in History from Brown University and was previously a Postdoctoral Research Associate in Yale University’s Program in Agrarian Studies. His book, Breeding the Future: 4-H and the Roots of the Modern Rural World is forthcoming in 2015 with the University of Pennsylvania Press. His next project, a history of meat-making and technologies of biopolitical governance, is tentatively titled Purebred: Making Meat and Eugenics in Modern America. He tweets at @gnrosenberg. Tags: Agriculture animals commercial sex rural sexuality Jared Beverly (@jaredbeverly) This is a really great post. My only ever so slight disagreement is the separation of hog breeding from bestiality. I would be more inclined to say this is just another form of bestiality. We call it bestiality when the human receives sexual pleasure from masturbating an animal, but we call it breeding when the human receives financial gain. And any one of us who have worn leather, eaten meat, or ridden a horse at any time in our lives are implicated in those human-nonhuman sex acts. We are all always already bestialists. rosenberggabriel Hi Jared, Great comment. I actually agree entirely with this if one takes a broad definition of bestiality. I think, however, that in the present moment bestiality tends to imply a juridical structure that is both over-limiting and that emphasizes animal-human sex as marginal. By contrast, I encourage people to use a framework of intimacy to understand the range of interactions that exist beyond or orthogonal to juridical structures and that, indeed, are both culturally normalized and constitutive of how we conceive what kinds of bodies can receive violence. Curiously — and this is something I’ll be presenting about at ASA in November — many bestiality statutes explicitly countenance acts that, when done on farms, would otherwise be prohibited. My argument is that the symbolic prohibition of sex with animals outside of the context of farms render the death of meat animals as ungrievable events. Such laws constitute meat animals as creatures with whom we cannot experience intimacy and, thus, whose deaths we cannot mourn. Seeing their deaths may be unpleasant, but if we do not expose the intimacy that is already in place producing their lives, we cannot grieve their loss. This is why we need a queer theory of agriculture. I see what you’re doing—I like the bestiality/intimacy distinction. And your project sounds amazing. Are you going to post your conference paper here? If not I’ll read your book when it comes out. I’m a PhD student in biblical studies, and I’m working on sexuality and animals in the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament), so I love seeing other people talking about human-animal sex. I hadn’t planned to post the paper here. It’s part of a peer-reviewed article that is going through the peer-review process. But thanks for reading and keep an eye out! Your work sounds fascinating and I’d like to hear more. Julie Peakman I made an examination of bestiality through the ages (including its appearance in Greek mytholody and Egyptian religion through to horse sex farms) in my examination of sexal ‘perversion’ (the term used in its historical context) within the wider framework of sexual acts considered outside the ‘norm’ in the past – homosexuality, lesbian sex, paedophilia, flagellation, oral sex, transexuality, necrophilia etc. You can find it on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/The-Pleasures-All-Mine-Perverse/dp/1780231857/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1409816626&sr=8-1&keywords=peakman+pleasure+all+mine Historian Julie Peakman, ‘The Pleasure’s All Mine. a History of Perverse Sex’.

If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original authors' reputations. Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all. The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow. 0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below, refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program" means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you". Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the Program (independent of having been made by running the Program). Whether that is true depends on what the Program does. 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License along with the Program. You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee. 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions: a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating that you changed the files and the date of any change. b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this License. c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when run, you must cause it, when started running for such interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on the Program is not required to print an announcement.) These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program, and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it. Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or collective works based on the Program. In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this License. 3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following: a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or, b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or, c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you received the program in object code or executable form with such an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.) The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a special exception, the source code distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies the executable. If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the source code from the same place counts as distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the object code. 4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance. 5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying the Program or works based on it. 6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to this License. 7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain entirely from distribution of the Program. If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances. It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the free software distribution system, which is implemented by public license practices. Many people have made generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed through that system in reliance on consistent application of that system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that choice. This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a consequence of the rest of this License. 8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright holder who places the Program under this License may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of this License. 9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that version or of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software 10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally. 11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION. 12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms. To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found. <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.> Copyright (C) <year> <name of author> Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin St, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this when it starts in an interactive mode: Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'. This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it under certain conditions; type `show c' for details. The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate parts of the General Public License. Of course, the commands you use may be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program. You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names: Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program `Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker. <signature of Ty Coon>, 1 April 1989 This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Library General Public License instead of this License.	cc/2021-04/en_middle_0047.json.gz/line212

If anyone took the time to look back and see what really happened to Boz, what was the undoing of him physically as a football player having all of those interruptions as a first year player when we went to the NY Jets to play my rookie year, it wasn’t the Seattle Seahawks against the Jets. It was Brian Bosworth. So it was a complete clown show. An initial hearing has begun in federal court to decide whether NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell was justified in suspending New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady four games for using underinflated footballs in the AFC championship game last season. District Judge Richard Berman started the hearing Wednesday after meeting separately with Goodell and Brady with their lawyers. Of a sudden, it become a big deal now, about oppression, Ditka told Jim Gray on Westwood One pregame show ahead of the Bears Night Football loss to the Vikings. has been no oppression in the last 100 years that I know of. Now maybe I not watching it as carefully as other people. aside what going on today, the discrimination and bigotry Ditka Bears teammates faced in the mid 1960s was memorably depicted in the much beloved 1971 TV movie Song, starring James Caan as Brian Piccolo and Billy Dee Williams as Gale Sayers, the team first interracial roommates.	cc/2021-04/en_middle_0047.json.gz/line215

__label__cc	0.571108	0.428892	Ye Olde Hipster Merlin Mann \| Aug 11 2005 Day in the Life: Sunrise Home Dominic Brown emails with this link from the Thomas Jefferson/Monticello site. Emphasis added. Jefferson’s clothes, according to his granddaughter, were “simple and adapted to his ideas of neatness and comfort … and sometimes blending the fashions of several periods.” In his pockets, Jefferson carried such a variety of portable instruments for making observations and measurements that he’s been dubbed a “traveling calculator.” Among his collection of pocket-sized devices were scales, drawing instruments, a thermometer, a surveying compass, a level, and even a globe. To record all these measurements, Jefferson carried a small ivory notebook (pictured) on which he could write in pencil. Man, if that’s not the great-great-grandfather of the Hipster PDA, I don’t know what is. Hilarious. According to The Library of Congress: Thomas Jefferson used these ivory sheets to make penciled notes, which could then be erased once he transferred the information into one of his numerous permanent record books. So it was basically like a miniature, paged dive board—but with ivory instead of plastic. (here’s a big photo of Jefferson’s notebook) Note, also, that TJ was doing what a lot of hPDA fans do now; you’re looking solely for easy and ubiquitous capture with the notebook, but the heavy lifting of permanent storage is handled elsewhere—in Jefferson’s case by a big book, and in my case, by text files and Entourage. Each tool for its job, right? Related: if a binder clip is too modern for your tastes, you can always buy this old-timey (and surprisingly compact) brass and ivory pocket notebook, which is quite similar to Jefferson’s. “It’s the 18th century version of the PDA,” say its manufacturers. Clearly, there is nothing new under the sun TOPICS: Heh, Hipster PDA, Index Cards, Lofi those "old ivory pages" look... Submitted by chris joseph (not verified) on August 27, 2005 - 8:11pm. those "old ivory pages" look suspiciously like they were recycled from old piano keys. Not that there's anything wrong with it. There aren't many sources you can find for real ivory these days.	cc/2021-04/en_middle_0047.json.gz/line225

Rose Bunny Thank you received: 1143 3 years 7 months ago - 3 years 7 months ago #39664 by Rose Bunny Rose Bunny replied the topic: The Call of the Waters A Whateley Universe story. En route to the Owens residence Hastings, Minnesota Paul Baker was livid. LeAnna was sleeping, and Henry had promised to call him if there had been any changes. He muttered to himself as he sped to his destination. Arriving at the house, he got out of his car and marched up to the door. With a determined expression, he banged on the door. Jim Owens opened the door, and looked at his former friend. “Paul, I don’t want any trouble.”, he said uncertainly. For his part, Paul looked at the traitor and spoke calmly. “I’m just here to talk to Beth, that’s all. I don’t want to start anything.” Jim let him in with a look of uncertainty. “Beth, come out here, I need to talk to you!”, Paul called out. Coming down the stairs, the very pregnant Beth looked at her former husband with a look of scorn. “Paul, keep it down. Little Emily is trying to sleep.” Paul dismissed her comments with a snort. “Be that as it may, “ he scowled, “I’m here about LeAnna, you know... your firstborn daughter. You didn’t answer any of my calls.” He was seething, but managing to keep it from showing. The whole problem was of Beth’s creation. After LeAnna was born, Beth had had a hard time of it, and they had agreed that Paul should get a vasectomy. Things had been fine, but with their daughter growing up, Beth had felt those old stirrings again, and she wanted another baby. Unfortunately, the attempt to reverse the surgery had proved unsuccessful, and she had fled into the arms of his friend. Beth looked at him coldly. “I saw you called, but I deleted the messages. Whatever trouble that girl has gotten herself into, I knew you would handle it.”, came her reply. Paul shook his head in exasperation, and rubbed his temples, he could feel a headache trying to assert itself. “Ok, the fact that she is in the hospital, and nearly died, doesn’t concern you? I see how it is.” In anger, he left. He had better places to be. A little while later Regina Hospital LeAnna awoke to find ‘Uncle’ Henry sitting at her bedside. He was in casual clothes, meaning that he wasn’t on duty. The girl looked at him and in a hoarse voice managed to ask him a question. “Where’s daddy, Why isn’t he here?” Henry looked at his god-daughter and frowned, “ I’m afraid he went to see your mother, she didn’t answer any of his calls.”, the kindly man responded. LeAnna nodded weakly. She was laying here in he hospital. She remembered feeling sick at the mall and throwing up. She knew she passed out. She was sweating and hot, her blankets and clothing were drenched in sweat. She hard the water thundering in her head, and the inhuman songs and cries. It was so loud, so very loud. “Unca Henry, how long have I been asleep? I don’t feel good.”, she rasped. The man looked at the girl that he loved as a daughter. “I’m afraid you’ve been asleep since yesterday.”, he replied. “You gave us quite a scare. I discussed this with your father last night, and you need to know what happened. What you experienced is a condition known as a burnout, it sometimes happens to a person when they begin to manifest as a mutant. I’m afraid that’s what’s happening.” LeAnna cried. A Mutant? Her? She shuddered and remembered the stories of what had happened to Judy’s older brother. When he was revealed as a mutant, he was chased out of school, and had needed to be sent away somewhere. Judy never really talked about it, except to tell her on occasion about how she had gotten a letter or a phone call from him, and how he was enjoying his new school out east. She didn’t want to have to go away, she didn’t want to be hated. She had a cute boy interested in her, and had made the cheerleading squad. This was not possible. She had been happy. Why had this happened? Why her? Placing his hand tenderly on the girl’s back, he tried to soothe her fears the best he could. LeAnna meekly sobbed out a question to him, “Do… do I look different? Am I a freak?” From the doorway, a familiar voice spoke up. “ You are my little girl, and I will always love you. Even if you grow tentacles and giant fangs…Which you haven’t.”, Paul quickly added. “Daddy!”, the girl exclaimed as loud as she was able. She pulled back her bedsheets and sat up, instantly regretting that, as she wobbled unsteadily. Paul stepped in and gave his little girl a hug. “Sweetie, I love you and all… but you stink.”, he laughed. She blushed at that. “Unca, is it okay if I take a shower? I feel all sweaty and gross.”, the girl pleaded. “Hmm, normally I’d suggest a sponge bath, but I think you are well enough to handle it. I will get a nurse to come in and stay in there with you, just in case.”, her god-father said. When the nurse arrived, both men stepped out into the hall. There was a loud scream, and the nurse called for them to come back in. LeAnna lay on the floor of the bathroom sobbing. her hospital gown was off, and she was looking at herself in the full-length mirror on the back of the door. Her beautiful blonde hair was going black and white at the root, her eyes were a scary shade of red, and she had lost weight, a lot of weight. Where she had been a very large C cup, her breasts has shrunk, they looked like they weren’t even up to being called an A cup. Her butt was no longer the plump apple-bottom she was so proud of, it was flat and kind of boyish. She seemed shorter too. She was a freak. She curled up on the floor in the fetal position and cried. The nurse picked up the small, frail girl and after a brief, perfunctory shower the girl was placed back in bed, the sheets having been changed while they were in the bathroom. The men looked at each other, ashamed. They had seen all the changes but somehow had failed to register that they would have such a traumatic effect on the girl. A girl that was proud of her looks and the attention they brought her. With a sigh, Henry ordered the nurse to give the girl a sedative, and the men went out into the hall to keep a silent vigil. High-Priestess of the Order of Spirit-Chan Last Edit: 3 years 7 months ago by Rose Bunny. Please Log in to join the conversation. LeAnna was awake and crying. The running water and loud cries that were hammering at her brain wouldn’t stop. She rolled over, vomited over the bed rail, and returned to the fetal position. Paul Baker stood in the doorway, upset. His little girl was in a great deal of pain, and he was powerless to stop it. He hard a commotion, and from the corner of his eye, he saw his ex-wife charging into view. Stepping in front of the door, he tried to block it. It had been a little over two years since the divorce, and the woman had barely made time for her firstborn daughter. Beth had tried to sue for full custody, but when the evidence of her infidelity came to light, the judge had granted minimal custodial rights. Beth had tried using LeAnna as a weapon in the lawsuit, and having failed, she had cast her daughter aside. “Beth.”, Paul said in a neutral tone, “Now is perhaps not the best time. She is in a lot of pain.” The very pregnant blonde looked at her ex. “Damn it Paul, what’s going on? What’s wrong with her?” For his part, Paul Baker sighed, “It’s complicated, apparently she’s gone through something known as a burnout. It’s something that sometimes affects mutants…” Beth looked incredulously at her former spouse, “You are trying to tell me that my daughter is some sort of… mutant freak? I don’t believe you!” Pushing past Paul, she entered the room and saw a disturbing image before her. LeAnna had begun to take after her. She had been well on her way to developing an hourglass figure, with the blonde hair and brilliant blue eyes that were a trait amongst the women on her side of the family. this… creature… on the bed wasn’t LeAnna. No way in Hell. For starters, that thing, was too small. Leanna had been taller than she was, and this whatever it was, was not. It couldn’t weigh more than 90 pounds, soaking wet. Beth knew her daughter was about a 36C cup, and this whatever this was had no visible breasts at all. Its unkept hair was a strange sight. The hair was blonde at the ends, but a mottled, confused mess of black and white towards the roots. There was vomit on the side of its face, and when it turned to look at her… those eyes... those inhuman red eyes. In revulsion and shock, Beth screamed a a scream of pure terror, and ran off as fast as someone 8 months pregnant possibly could. She was long gone, and didn’t see her daughter hunch up and vomit again before starting to cry hysterically. That afternoon Dr. Henry Hall looked at the sleeping form of his god-daughter and sighed, he hated having to sedate her again, but after the incident with her mother, and the painful noise that she complained about, LeAnna was in a precarious place. He had called in a favor with a friend at the Mayo Clinic, and a specialist in mutant care would be arriving soon. He was grateful, he loved this girl and was saddened by all the pain physically and emotionally that the poor girl had to withstand. Distracted, Henry had not noticed a rather tall man African-American man in a lab coat and tan khakis walk up behind him. “Excuse me, Dr. Hall, I take it? My name is Jerome Davis, I’m here because you requested help with a mutant patient.” Henry looked up at the man, who was easily at least 6’10”. “Yes, this way please.”, replied Dr. Hall, as he escorted the man into the room. “Excuse me for asking, but what are your qualifications, in regard to treating mutants? I don’t mean to sound rude, but this little girl is my god-daughter, and is very special to me.” Dr. Davis shrugged it off and nodded. “I understand perfectly, and no offense taken at all. As for my qualifications, I attended Whateley Academy, which is an exclusive school for mutants. After I graduated, I went to Columbia University, where I majored in medicine and interned at Johns Hopkins, before taking a position at Mayo.” He nodded at Dr. Hill’s realization. “Yes, I am a mutant, in my case I’m classified as an Exemplar 3 and Psi 3. I’m a receptive and projective telepath.” Henry watched as the other man walked over to the girl and sat down at her bedside. He sat down in the chair next to the bed and gently stroked her forehead. She calmed at his touch and the sobbing stopped. Inside LeAnna’s mind Jerome looked about him. He was on the shore of a lake, there was a gentle breeze. He heard the sounds of a mournful wail, the songs of loons filled the air. He was beginning to understand. looking around him, he saw a blonde girl, of perhaps 14 years sitting in the shallows. her hands were clasping her head, as she cried and shook. Every cry seemed to tear at her. She clawed at her head, trying to make it stop. She raked at her skin, at her scalp, tearing skin and hair out in bloody clumps. Jerome walked over to the bloody girl and offered his hand. “Don’t fight it, let it come to you, let it become a part of you. You will find strength together.”, He said. She stood up and he helped her up, gently pulling away the pieces of her past self and her past self-image. Before him stood the new LeAnna. She saw small, but lithe. She no longer had the voluptuous image that she had been holding onto, the large breasts and bottom. This was a body more for grace, flexibility, and agility. Gone was the blonde hair. In its place was was black hair with mottled white, at times shining with an iridescent sheen. She looked herself over with the red eyes that had replaced her now ordinary-seeming shade of blue. This would take getting used to, she mused. LeAnna sat up in bed, Her Father a little ways away watching as the other two men in the room talked. She was groggy, but then again, she never had someone else in her mind before. Dr. Davis looked over at the girl. “Ah, you are awake. Good. I’m Doctor Davis, your Godfather called me in to help with your case. I’m sorry for the intrusion into your head yesterday, but you were in a lot of pain, and I needed to see if I could find the cause.” the very tall man explained. LeAnna nodded gently. “ The noise isn’t as loud today. Before it was like there was noise louder than a rock concert in my head, now it’s just a whisper. What did you do?“, she asked. Dr. Davis smiled. “ It wasn’t me,” he said. “It was you, you accepted your spirit.” He said, as he looked at the confused girl. Mr. Baker was next to speak. “Spirit? I’m afraid we don’t understand.” With a nod, the very tall doctor explained. “LeAnna is what’s known as an avatar, meaning she has what is called a hallow. This is a space in which a spirit's life essence can settle into and co-exist with the avatar. Normally a spirit will look for a host that it can bond with, and it will share its powers with the host. In exchange the spirit gets a presence in this world, and a safe place to dwell.” LeAnna frowned at the thought that some spirit creature had crawled inside her and made itself at home. She shook her head, and listened as the Doctor continued. “Now the reason that it appears your daughter was having difficulty with her spirit is that the spirit is larger than her hallow. In an effort to fit and make things work for both of you, the spirit had to make some… adjustments…” The doctor stated. “Adjustments?”, LeAnna shrieked. “Adjustments?” she put her hand on her chest. “That’s what you call having the non-boobs of a 10 year old? That’s why I had to get smaller? That’s why I have freakish red eyes? That’s why my pubes disappeared and I have feathers down there? And really… webbed toes… I mean really? Thanks a lot stupid spirit, thanks ever so much.” The girl crossed her arms and sulked. “Erm, yes.. well…” The doctor stammered. “I suppose that’s a lot of negatives. But I’m sure that in time you will discover positives. I’ve known a couple avatars, and They tell me that their spirits never did anything bad to them, you may have manifested these…oddities… but the spirit needs you, and it would never do anything to compromise your safety. That would be like it trying to set its house on fire while inside.” Dr. Hall was next to ask a question. “From my understanding of avatars and spirits, the spirits are often tied to nature, whether they are elementals or animal spirits, or something else. Were you able to determine her spirit when you went into her head?” D. Davis nodded and answered, “From what I can determine, she seems to be hosting a loon spirit.” LeAnna rolled her eyes and sarcastically grumbled. ”Great, not only do I become a mutant, but I’m possessed by a fucking duck.” Paul Baker looked at his daughter. “First of all, language, young lady. Second of all, Loons aren’t ducks.”, he said in that sympathetic, yet disapproving way that only parents can master. Dr. Davis chimed in. “Actually, you already were an active mutant. From what we can tell, based on your routine physical and the data from before you gained your spirit… you were what is known as an exemplar. Exemplar mutations are physical and mental changes that make a person a little better than a baseline human. A little smarter or stronger or for lack of a better term… ‘ideal’, we estimate you might have been at least an exemplar 2, on the rating scale.“ Dr. Hall spoke up, “That is a lot for LeAnna to take in, I think we should give her a little time alone to comprehend it all.” He ushered everyone out of the room. After closing the door, Henry looked at his closest friend. “There is something else that we discovered during her tests, something that she probably wouldn’t be able to hear now, on top of everything else, but she will need to know sooner or later.” Henry paused and sighed, “Part of the spirit's changes in her body resulted in the loss of her uterus. I’m afraid LeAnna will never be able to get pregnant.” A short time later Inside LeAnna Baker-Smith’s mind LeAnna sat on a log, overlooking a lake. It was pleasant enough, sunny and warm, a gentle breeze was blowing. Still, she was angry. she knew the troublemaker was out there. She could hear it, laughing at her. Well, maybe not laughing, because that’s what a loon’s cry sounds like, but it was definitely trying to say something to her. She sighed and closed her eyes, the breeze felt good. She did have to admit that. And then the pesky spirit started to call, a somber call, sad and hauntingly beautiful. Unaware of her own tears, LeAnna started to sob inconsolably. MCO Regional Headquarters LeAnna zigged and zagged, the projectiles coming at her ever faster, more and more baring down on her. Her new-found agility and speed helped her dodge, but it would only be a matter of time. She was worn out, all the lifting and running and dodging was taking their toll on her. She turned left, when she should have turned right. She never saw the projectile coming. With a smack, it hit her in the back of the knee, knocking her to the ground. She knelt there as the door opened and the man in the lab coat entered. “Very good! Very good!”, the man exclaimed, “Definitely an exemplar, I’d say certainly exemplar 3.” The doctor led her out of the test chamber, and back to her father. At the insistence of her doctors - and her father- LeAnna had begun meditating several days earlier, trying to enter that space where the spirit dwelled. She relaxed and opened her mind to it’s presence. She still resented it, and she was still sulky about being flat-chested, but she was going to have to adjust. There was no going back. During her meditations, she observed the black and white bird as it swam around in her mind space. She learned from it, watching it swim, dive, hunt. She heard the tranquil calls, and tried to mimic them, to varying degrees of success. For the next test, the doctor led her to a changing room, and ushered her in. She found a plastic bag labeled with her codename, ’Gavia’. LeAnna’s Dad was a science teacher at the high school, and had explained that the term Gavia was derived from Latin, and was the name of the genus for the common Loon, which was what her spirit evidently was. This testing was done using codenames, to protect her identity. LeAnna had no issue with that, this whole spirit of the loon thing was embarrassing. LeAnna put on the suit and left the room, meeting with the doctor in the hall. She was escorted to a large set of doors, when she entered, she was surprised that the room contained an olympic-sized swimming pool. LeAnna had been an okay swimmer, but they evidently wished to see if the spirit had enhanced her abilities in water. She dove in, feeling the water around her. Her new form cut through the water like a torpedo. She took several laps, and then climbed out near the doctor. “Excellent, simply excellent!”, he proclaimed. She looked at the short, fat, balding man with a questioning look. He apparently picked up on it, because he explained, “I’m sorry. We old fogies sometimes get so wrapped up in our tests and data that we forget there is someone else to explain to. What I was marveling at is amazing. If not for your mutant status making you ineligible, you would have just shattered the qualifying time for the U.S. Olympic team.” LeAnna gawked at that in pure amazement. Then she frowned, her body was more streamlined now, but she still missed her boobs. The doctor had her do another test at the pool, she dove in and sat on the bottom of the pool for as long as she could, finally coming up for air. What seemed to her to have been only a couple minutes had actually been over 10 minutes. After changing again, She was led into a room with all sorts of gizmos and doohickeys on a bench. She was asked if she could make anything out of it, to which she only replied, “A Mess?”. The doctor checked off another box on the papers he was carrying around. Testing her for magical abilities was likewise fruitless. After all the runaround, they led her back to her Dad. She ran up and hugged him carefully. After learning she could lift about 600 pounds, she would have to be a lot more careful. The Doctor walked up to a computer and typed something in. A card printer began whirring, and out came an ID card. He looked at the girl and handed it to her. “This is your mutant ID card. It lists your powers and codename. Carry it on you at all times. You will need it for any aircraft travel you might do, as well as any border crossings.” He went on to explain other benefits of the card, but she was only half-listening. She looked at the card and read it off. Her powers were classified on it. Exemplar 3, Avatar 2. That evening The Baker household Paul Baker was mad. He had called his ex-wife, to fill her in on LeAnna’s condition, and her powers. The woman had refused to come to the phone, she had disowned her own daughter. He sighed, and told Jim Evans a little tidbit he had picked up from the doctors. Jim might want to get Emily screened for the mutant genome, as the mother was usually responsible for transmitting the genes. After hanging up, he smirked. He had loved Beth once, but she had always been a little pretentious and snobbish, due to some vague distant relation to the English Royal Family. That is why she had kept her maiden name during the marriage, and had insisted on LeAnna’s last name being a hyphenated combination of both their last names. He looked over at LeAnna, she was laying on the couch, with her eyes closed. She was no doubt in her mind-space, swearing at her spirit again. He chuckled at that, and went off to make himself a cup of coffee. As he turned, the phone rang. “Hello, Paul?”, the voice on the other end of the line said. Paul recognized that voice anywhere. “Superintendent Dunn, what can I help you with?”, he asked. Paul’s boss spoke up, “Paul, I’m afraid I have some bad news for you. The PTA has called an emergency meeting for tomorrow. It seems as though there has been some concern about your daughter.” Paul looked over at the meditating girl and frowned. “I’m afraid I don’t understand.”, he said. Dunn cleared his throat and spoke. “Paul, some parents are making a fuss about LeAnna having been on cheer squad while having been an active mutant. Some of them are calling for her to be expelled for rules infractions.” Paul spoke up, anger in his voice. “ First of all, We were unaware of her status at the time. Second of all, that information was only just discovered. Thirdly, anyone that gained that information did so by looking at supposedly secure confidential records. If they want LeAnna expelled, especially this late in the school year, someone is playing dirty. I intend to fight it, and they had better hope I don’t find out who it was, because they will be facing a LOT of civil and criminal charges.” Paul looked over at LeAnna, to see if she had heard, but she still sat there deep in meditation. LeAnna Baker-Smith was pissed. She flung the disposable razor across the bathroom at the mirror. It landed with the other 5 that she had managed to blunt or break. After a stream of words that would have made a drunken sailor blush, she gave up and set off for the garage. Several minutes later she came back up with a roll of duct tape and pulled off large strips, which she applied to her legs, armpits, and bikini lines. Ripping each one off with a scream, she looked at her legs. They were red and chafed, and had cuts and scrapes all over them. She had finally managed to get rid of the small feathery quills that had been growing in lieu of hair. With a shiver, she reached for the aloe and began to apply it. Paul Baker saw his daughter come out of her room. He was shocked looking at her. Her legs were all cut up and red, bandages all over them. She could see the concerned look on his face. “Don’t worry, Daddy.” LeAnna said, “I’m not cutting or anything. But it is damn hard to shave when you have feathers growing all over.” She winced and then made light of it. “At least I didn’t have to use the belt sander.” LeAnna sighed and straightened her skirt. She threw on her blazer and they walked out to the car. Later that evening Hastings High School Auditorium LeAnna and her father sat in the front row, facing the school board. Everyone seemed to be keeping their distance. The meeting began, and following the reading of the minutes from the prior meeting, her potential suspension was first on the agenda. Doug Freeman, leader of the PTA stood and addressed the gathering. Doug was a short, fat greasy man with a receding hairline and cheesy mustache. “Welcome, everyone, today we are gathered to address the situation of LeAnna Grace Baker-Smith, a known mutant, having been on the cheerleading team, a violation of state high school league rules.” Doug went on to read the regulation that prohibited mutant children from participating in any extra-curricular activity in which their powers might give them an unfair advantage. “I have a record of her MCO report, and her medical records. According to the records, she has an unfair advantage, in that she is what is known as an Exemplar. In her MCO testing, she was able to lift 550 pounds and run at a speed of nearly 40 mph. Exemplars are also know for having above average looks, making it even more difficult for any ‘regular’ student to compete with her in what is clearly an activity weighted towards attractiveness.” LeAnna slid lower in her chair and fumbled with the dark glasses that hid her inhuman looking eyes. Paul Baker stepped forward. “Chairman, board-members, I object strenuously. You are deciding on whether to expel a girl for doing something she loved, when she was unaware of any infractions. Since her burnout and secondary changes, she has not practiced or competed in any extra-curricular activities. She has not even been allowed back to school. Expulsion when there are only 3 weeks left in school is mighty irregular, and frankly, suspicious. Furthermore, that her sealed records and confidential medical records were obtained without parental consent strikes me as…” Freeman interrupted, “Mister Baker, we obtained these records WITH full parental consent. We have done nothing wrong.” LeAnna had a sinking feeling. She looked around he room, and in the back row spotted the person she hoped would not be there. Paul Baker looked squarely at his ex-wife. “Regardless… that her records are being used to punish her is an egregious travesty. I implore the board to not buckle under to pressure, and to do the right thing.” He sat down, still scowling at his ex. Doug Freeman looked around. “Does anyone else have anything to say, before we move on?” LeAnna stood up, and calmly walked up to the front of the room. “I would like to speak. I am sorry. Sorry that there has to be any problem with me having been on the team. I did not know I was a mutant until I started my changes. I thought I was an ordinary girl. If I had known back then, I would have left the team. What you are talking about is unfair. Punishing me for something I didn’t mean to do. It is close to the end of the year. Please just let me finish out the year. Please let me get my credits for this semester. If you do, I.. I promise I will look for another school, I will go elsewhere if you want. You won’t need to worry about me anymore. I’m sorry.” After she finished speaking, LeAnna ran over to her Dad, tears flowing down her cheeks as she threw herself into his arms. In the back row, Beth Owens-Smith held her little daughter Emily. She impassively watched everything going on, stopping only to stop the child from reaching to play with the Humanity First pin she now wore on her blouse. The following user(s) said Thank You: Malady, Anne LeAnna sat on the couch, reading through her English textbook. Behind closed doors a compromise had been reached with the school board. She would be allowed to complete her freshman year at home, and she could take her finals under teacher supervision after school. She would move on to 10th grade, but not at Hastings High. Her Father would be home late, as things were still being ironed out. LeAnna had been feeling kind of moody lately, before her changes, she would have thought it was PMS, but when her Dad told her that she would never have another period, she had at first taken it in stride. For a girl her age, thinking of the future and children was not even in the picture. She growled. Jeff Pierson had, of course, cancelled their date last Saturday, and had refused to even pick up when she called. She looked forward to a life of being alone, being the weird ‘bird chick’. The knocking at the door startled LeAnna out of her introspection. She got up and opened the door, letting Judy in. Through all the problems, Judy and Jenny had been there for her, with calls, e-mails, and the occasional visit. It helped that LeAnna felt she had friends still. “I brought your assignments.”, Judy casually remarked, sitting next to LeAnna. She smiled at the smaller girl and looked at her briefly. Misunderstanding the glance, LeAnna got somewhat defensive. “Staring at the freak, Judy?“, she scowled and inched away. Judy sighed and inched closer. “You are not a freak!” Looking the exotic looking girl in the eyes, she moved closer, getting dangerously close to her ‘personal space’. She stared into those red eyes, and found herself leaning in. LeAnna panicked at the kiss. It was tender, caring, and very unexpected. She hesitated and pulled away. “What.. what are you DOING?”, she nervously exclaimed. Judy frowned and bit her lower lip. “I’m sorry. I just. I’ve always been attracted to you, and now I feel it more. You are so pretty, so alluring.” LeAnna looked at her, dazed. “I… I thought you liked Jenny? I mean, I always catch you glancing at her. I mean I knew you liked girls… but I thought you liked her!” LeAnna was confused, so very confused. With that Judy giggled. “Silly, it wasn’t her I was looking at.” She shook her head and put her hand on LeAnna’s shoulder. LeAnna smiled and hugged her friend. She was conscious of the feelings of the much taller girl’s chest against her own flat chest. Biting her lip uncertainly, LeAnna felt a mix of curiosity, excitement, and fear. She leaned back in and gave Judy a nervous kiss on the lips, followed by a slightly longer kiss, and in a moment of clarity, a much longer open-mouthed kiss. Judy felt the excitement and her hand strayed up to the younger girl’s chest. She could feel through the tee that she wasn’t wearing a bra, and that her tiny nipples were excited. She felt her pull away and retreat to the other side of the couch. LeAnna retreated and began to cry. “I’m a freak, this stupid bird inside me took my femininity from me, I have no breasts, I can’t have kids, I’ve never even had a damn period.” Judy moved to sit next to the girl yet again, she put her finger under LeAnna’s chin, and lifted her head up. “That’s bull, I think you are damn sexy.” With that said, she kissed the girl again, her hands caressing her cheeks, running through her hair. LeAnna was confused, afraid, and aroused. When Judy began to nibble on her ear, she moaned. She blushed as the large girl ran her hands over her chest. With a smile, she took the larger girl’s hand and led her up the stairs. LeAnna had never considered sex with another girl, sure, she knew she had been hot, and that undoubtedly some other girls checked her out when she wasn’t looking. She hadn’t known Judy had been one of them, but now that the older girl had confessed the attraction, she thought about it. Judy was tall and fit, her track-star figure was kinda sexy. Laying down on the bed, LeAnna pouted cutely in a submissive position, as her long time friend took off her shirt. She closed her eyes as Judy kissed her stomach and worked her way up to her chest. The flicking of the tongue across her tiny tits made her squirm excitedly. Soon both girls were laying together, basking in the afterglow. LeAnna purred as Judy ran her fingers through her feathers. “Mmm, soooft.”, cooed the taller girl as she snuggled her lover. “I’m just sad that I waited so long to tell you. I mean, I’ll be off to Stanford in the fall.” LeAnna caressed the soft cocoa skin of her bedmate. “I probably wouldn’t have noticed, I was sort of a narcissistic bitch, you know.” “Mmm … that is true.”, quipped Judy. With a laugh, LeAnna bopped her lover with a pillow, and began to kiss her again, contentedly. The following user(s) said Thank You: Malady LeAnna Baker-Smith lay on the couch, supposedly doing her calculus homework, but in all reality her mind was drifting back to the events of the previous evening. Of all the people to lose her virginity to, Judy would never have crossed her mind. LeAnna had been firmly straight. she had never noticed girls in that way, but last night felt right. Didn’t it? She pondered what this meant. It made no sense for the spirit to have done this. It was just a dumb bird. Why would it encourage something that served no reproductive purpose. Sure, it had messed up her chances of having kids anyhow, but she didn’t think this was anything it had done. That meant that it had come from her. She would have to meditate on that. LeAnna had been meditating a lot lately. She was still mad at the dumb bird, but that was lessening. She was conflicted about her new body, she sometimes hated it, she sometimes found it intriguing. Sure, having to de-feather with duct tape was painful and no fun, but Judy seemed to have liked the end results. At the thought of Judy, her hand wandered to the waistband of her sweatpants. Between her arousal, and the contemplative mood, her mind was wandering. That was when the brick flew through the window and snapped her back to attention. LeAnna leapt up and looked towards the window. From her vantage point she could see the angry mob. Moving towards the phone, she got half-way to it when the first bullet whizzed past her, hitting the wall behind her. She was pinned down and couldn’t reach the phone. She crawled towards it, and reached up, carefully picking it up. There was no dial tone. The phone lines had to have been cut. Getting up and racing to the kitchen, she found the back door was blockaded by more of the mob. She could hear shouts of 'Die Mutie' and 'Kill the mutant'. Circling back to the stairway, she ran up, hoping to escape out the window in her room. Many a time she had snuck out the window and down the large elm tree that was conveniently close to the window. She reached her room, and found the door open, and four men in masks waiting for her. She turned to flee, when one of the men took out a knife and swung at her, slicing a shallow cut down her right shoulder blade. She yelped in surprise, and turned to face the men. LeAnna felt a calming influence in her mind, the sound of the water and the reassuring cries of her spirit. She realized she could do this, she was strong now, and quick. The knife-wielding man charged her, and she dodged left, grabbing for the umbrella that sat beside the door. she turned and twisted, ducking under another stab, parrying it with the umbrella. She jabbed with it, and using her considerable strength, she managed to impale it into his side. The assailant’s friends stepped around him, one of them stopping to tend to him. Taking the opportunity, LeAnna ducked down the stairs, running from the men who had invaded her home. She reached the front entryway again, and was greeted by a loud explosion. Someone had pitched a gasoline bomb in through the window, and the floor was already ablaze. She was trapped, and these lunatics were trying to kill her. Worse, in their disorderly mob tactics, they would not only kill her, but their friends upstairs. Correction, their friends that were coming down the stairs. Two of the men charged her, while a third held up the man that she had stabbed. Looking at the men, she turned and ran forward, through the flames, and dove out the window. Landing on the front lawn, she was met by a group of perhaps 50 or 60 more people. Some were holding protest signs, others holding shotguns, baseball bats, and other weapons. LeAnna was pinned between the house and the crowd. The police were nowhere to be seen. Surely someone had to have called them? Opening her mouth, LeAnna let out a sorrowful wail, a song of sadness and serenity. some of the approaching crowd stopped and appeared to be lulled into complacency, but there were still more coming up behind the, She had to escape. She turned back to look at the house, by this time, she could see the flames rising in the front room, and up the stair railings. LeAnna signed and ran, dodging gunfire and makeshift projectiles with an uncanny grace. She sped up, aware that some of the crowd had gotten into trucks and were starting to follow. She would die. They would catch her, and she would die. Suddenly something happened that she was not expecting. Her spirit called in her mind and she felt pain as bones in her arms contorted and broke, reshaping themselves. Her sleeves bulged and tore as pinions erupted from her skin. With great uncertainty, she flapped her arms … no… wings… and took off. She flew awkwardly away, bullets still flying past her, she felt an impact in her right leg, then another in her right side. she shakily kept flying. She had escaped. She needed to hide. She felt weak. She knew where she needed to go. She changed direction, and within a few minutes she awkwardly landed in the fenced-in back yard. LeAnna felt her bones cracking and breaking again, reforming into her arms. The pinions that had covered them shrunk and vanished within her skin. She looked round the empty yard and walked over to the back door of the house, and collapsed, bleeding from the bullet wounds in her thigh and back. Darkness swallowed her completely. The Carlson household Judy Carlson walked in the front door. She put her school books down and headed for the kitchen. She’d grab a snack, then head over to her girlfriend’s house. She squealed inside when she thought the word ‘girlfriend’. She had long held that crush on LeAnna, but never acted on it. LeAnna had probably been correct, when she said that she would have been too vain to accept… Ok, she used the word ‘narcissistic’, but that was semantics. They had agreed to spend the summer together, and then see where things went from there. She would be off to college in the fall, and who knows where LeAnna would end up now? Judy put aside her thoughts, as she saw that something… was not right. the back patio door was open, but her folks would still be at work at this time of day. She walked into the kitchen to a shock, Biscuit was whining and licking up something… it appeared to be blood. Startled, Judy pushed past the beagle and looked under the kitchen table. What she saw scared her. It was LeAnna. Her love was laying on the floor, breathing hard, and moaning as she held a towel to her leg. “Omg! Sweetheart, are you okay? What happened? I’m gonna call the paramedics!”, The frantic girl exclaimed. “No! No paramedics! No police! If they find out, Mom will find out, and I’m as good as dead! Get Dr. Wells!”, She franticly screamed. Judy looked at her lover, then she ran into the other room and grabbed the phone and the address book. Looking up Dr. Wells' number, she hurriedly dialed. On the third ring, Dr. Wells picked up. Judy babbled something to him, he understood enough to discern the words ’emergency’, ’gunshots’, and a desire to avoid police involvement. Grabbing his bag, he ran to the car and peeled out like a bat out of Hell. Judy rolled over her lover and examined the wounds more carefully. LeAnna had ripped her shirt apart, and had made a tourniquet for her leg. It was the wound on her back that concerned her more. She was still bleeding, although there was a make-shift bandage across her back, this was serious. It wasn’t long before she heard the doorbell. Getting up, she headed into the front entry. Looking into the peephole, Judy saw Dr. Wells. She unlocked the door and hurried him in. “Doc, it’s LeAnna! She’s in the kitchen, someone shot her. Please, you have to do something! She’s bleeding, and hurt. Please, Doc.” Dr. Wells walked in, and assessed the situation. LeAnna was biting down hard as she fixed her own tourniquet. Henry looked at the young girl, then over to Judy. He spoke, “Clear the table and help me get her up here. I would take her to the hospital, but on the way over I passed by the street LeAnna lives on. There were police and fire trucks. It looks as though there is a house on fire. Judging from LeAnna’s condition, I think we can figure out what happened.” Judy swept everything off the kitchen table and lifted her diminutive lover up, placing her gently on the table. She worried even more. Turning to leave the room, she said, “I’m going to call her Dad.” Dr. Wells looked up from examining LeAnna, and called back to her, “While you do that, find me alcohol, plenty of towels, some gauze, if you have it.” Looking down at LeAnna, he sighed. “I’m sorry dear, I would prefer to do this at the hospital, but you’ve lost plenty of blood already. If not for your Exemplar status, you probably would have died already. I’m afraid that I also can’t do more than give you a local anesthetic.” LeAnna moaned, but looked at the doctor. “I … I understand. I think I might have an idea…”, With that said, LeAnna closed her eyes and concentrated. She slowed her breathing and focused. She could hear it calling. Her awareness of the outside world drifted away, and she found herself once more at the shore. She heard the calming, tranquil song of her spirit, and felt for it. She looked out upon the lake and saw it. The majestic black and white bird was swimming serenely. she watched as it dove, coming back up a couple minutes later with a small fish. She watched her spirit for hours as it swam and fished and sang. LeAnna rubbed her eyes, she felt like someone was calling to her. Turning from the lake, she focused on the voice. She heard people. Her thoughts focused and she drifted from the calm shore. LeAnna opened her eyes, seeing her father’s worried face over her. Slowly, and with a great deal of pain, she sat up. Judy was there, as was Doctor Wells and Judy’s mother and father. She realized she was laying on the kitchen table, in only her panties. She blushed and shrieked in embarrassment. “What… what’s going on?”, She wearily asked. ‘Uncle’ Henry spoke up, “You were shot, twice. I removed the bullet from your thigh, there should be no lasting damage. I am more concerned about the other gunshot. You had a perforated kidney. If I hadn’t operated, you could have bled to death. It is fortunate that your father arrived in time for a transfusion. You should be out of the woods for now, but I still recommend bedrest. The Carlsons have agreed to let you stay here for the time being.” “Daddy, the house?”, she asked. Paul Baker sadly shook his head. “It’s gone, baby. I’m sorry.” taking his little girl in his arms, he carried her up the stairs to the room Judy had shared with her sister. When Judy’s big sister had moved out, they kept the second bed in the room. Paul laid his little girl on the vacant bed. She was soon fast asleep. LeAnna sat on the couch, fighting boredom. She lazily picked up biscuit and was petting him on the head. Granted, she had healed very quickly from the bullet wounds, and the surgery, but even the nightly snuggling and sex with Judy didn’t quite make up for the boredom. Even worse, today Judy would be home late because of a track meet. She sighed and moped and played video games until about 3:30, when there was a knock on the door. Cautiously, LeAnna got up and went to the front door. “Who is it?”, she hesitantly asked. “It’s me, Jenny. Open up, please?”, came the reply from her friend. LeAnna cautiously opened the door, and let her friend in. Jenny came in, and shut the door. She put her books down and handed LeAnna a paper with her assignments on it. LeAnna walked off to the kitchen and came back with a couple bottles of Dr. Pepper. She eyed her friend, Jenny was still the same Jenny that she had always been. Same height and shape as she once had had. Maybe it was being with Judy now, but LeAnna was gaining a new appreciation of the female form. Jenny was a knockout, her long dark raven hair and those cocoa brown eyes. She shook off the thoughts and handed the bottle of pop to her friend and sat down. Jenny had noticed the once-over. “You know, I’m happy for you and Judy. I hadn’t expected it, but you two make a cute couple.” LeAnna fidgeted. “Nobody else knows… right?”, she asked scared. She was already the “mutie freak”, she didn’t want to add to the problem. Jenny scooted closer to her friend, displacing the beagle. “Don’t worry. Your secret is safe. I still think that people haven’t even figured out about Judy, and you haven’t been around… so, no worries.” LeAnna sighed a sigh of relief, and then the girls changed the topic to ordinary gossip. She laughed when she heard that Jeff Pierson had tried to ask Jenny out, and had received a kick in the nuts for his troubles. Around 5PM, Leslie Carlson came home and saw the girls sitting on the couch. Looking up, LeAnna smiled at Judy’s mom. She was so nice, letting her stay there. She had waved it off, stating that with her husband out on the road with his freight haul, there was plenty of space. “Jenny, you are welcome to stay and have dinner if you want. I need to talk to LeAnna alone for a second. Could you take Biscuit out back for a bit?”, The older woman asked. Jenny nodded and called the dog to follow her out into the backyard. Leslie looked at the girl and smiled. “I know you are bored and restless, what with being cooped up in this house all day. I have an idea. I talked to your Dad, and tomorrow I’m taking the day off, and you and I are driving up to the cities, and doing some shopping. What do you say to that?”, she pleasantly asked. LeAnna was thrilled. “Of course, I’d love to. Thank you so much.” Judy got home around 7PM, and a lovely dinner was had. Jenny went home shortly after. Judy and LeAnna went up to their room and got to work on their homework, occasionally stopping for some kissing. Settling in for the night, the two lovers spooned together and enjoyed each other, before falling asleep. Judy Carlson unlocked the door and walked into the house. Her Mom had taken LeAnna up to the cities to do some shopping. She hadn’t expected them to be home. what she really didn’t expect was the strange girl sitting on her couch, petting her dog. She looked at the girl. She was short with long black hair. She had on dark wrap-around glasses and a bright pink v-neck tee that plunged just enough to show off her cleavage. Judy’s gaze lingered on what looked to be B-cup breasts. The girl turned her head and asked, ”Is someone there? Ah know ah hear someone. Speak up please.” The girl fumbled for the white cane that sat by her side and got up. Judy stepped back a step, as the girl moved toward her, sweeping in front of her with the cane. “Ah know you are there.”, she said, right as the cane tapped against Judy’s foot. Suddenly the strange girl smiled and started to snort, attempting to contain the building laughing fit. It was a futile attempt, as she burst out laughing. She took the glasses off, revealing her solid black eyes, with the red irises. “We got you good.” LeAnna said, as Judy’s mother came out of the kitchen laughing. Judy looked at LeAnna, and then looked down. “How…?”, She managed to stutter. Leslie chuckled and looked at her daughter. “When we said we were going shopping, we didn’t lie. We did … some … clothing shopping, mostly bras and suitable shirts, but the main thing was hitting the costume shops for the wig, the breast inserts and supplies, the cane, and the glasses.” LeAnna smirked, “This was a dry run. It’s good that we fooled you, but tomorrow comes the REAL test.” Judy Carlson sat on a bench near the usual hangout spot. She patted the girl next to her on the back, reassuringly. The rest of the gang would soon be there. Most of them were in the finals rush, and a chance to blow off steam was always welcome. Judy had finished her finals already, and was to be the valedictorian of the graduating class. She looked at the girl next to her, and smiled. They had the summer before them, and this test would go far towards making it the best summer it could be. Still, she was apprehensive. People did not think well of LeAnna, but if she could pull this off, there was hope. Looking up, Judy saw Jenny Richards and the gang approaching. She bit her lip. Jeff Pierson was with the group of teens. How he had snaked his way in after what Jenny had done to him, Judy would likely never understand. Looking over at the girl next to Judy, Jeff licked his lips and walked over. “So, ‘Muncher. Who is this with you?”, the insensitive prick asked. It was no secret that Jeff had come out as a bigot after the whole incident with LeAnna. She had known before though, the little jibes and comments about her sexual preference and skin color had pissed her off, but for LeAnna’s sake she had held her tongue. That caused Judy to smirk. She had won, Jeff had lost. And he didn’t know what a prize he had given up. “Hi, Ah’m Annalee. Ah just moved here from Alabama to stay with my cousin here. I’m pleased as punched to meet y’all.” Jenny shook her head. “Hi! I’m Jenny Richards. The moron that was just talking is Jeff Pierson, please ignore him, we all do.” LeAnna, or Annalee as she was passing herself off as, just smiled and held out her hand, offering a shake. Jenny took it and gave it a firm, shake. Russ Olsen introduced himself, and as he did so, he pinched Jenny’s ass, all the while glancing down the open v-neck of Annalee’s shirt at the subtle hint of cleavage. Derek Maxwell, the center on the basketball team looked down at the diminutive girl. “You said you are Judy’s cousin, you sure don’t look alike.” Derek was athletically gifted, but not exactly the sharpest tool in the shed. Annalee turned her head in the vague direction of Judy. “Cuz, what’s he mean by that?”, She pondered. Judy giggled. “I think he means because you are white, and I’m black.” Annalee’s jaw dropped, and in a clearly shocked voice, she exclaimed. “Wait, ah’m white? Why didn’t anyone ever tell me?” Derek put his hands behind his back and nervously apologized. Judy and Annalee both snickered and started to laugh hysterically. Annalee explained after the laughing fit finally ended. “Judy’s mah cousin by marriage. After mah Poppa died, Momma married Judy’s uncle Bryan.” Never one to miss the opportunity to put a foot in his mouth, Jeff spoke up. “So, what’s with your eyes? You lose them in an accident, or were you born that way?” Annalee turned her head vaguely in his direction. “When ah was a baby, mah parents thought that vaccines could make you sick, so ah never got any. Then ah got measles when I was three, and it took mah sight.” Still not satisfied with his portion of foot in mouth, Jeff continued. “Well at least it’s not because you're a mutie, like that loser that Judy and Jenny used to hang out with.” Annalee’s head tilted slightly, “Pardon?” Jeff smirked. “There was this hot blonde chick that we used to hang with, a total babe.” Russ nodded, then realized Annalee couldn’t see him. “Yeah, she was fine!” Jeff continued, having totally forgotten the girls, and turning the conversation into locker room banter. “Yeah, she was wild in bed too. But then the bitch up and turns into some mutie freak. I heard she grew to like 7 foot tall and got that mutie disease where you go nuts, and she tried to kill a bunch of cops and she blew up her house and like died in the fire and stuff.” Annalee frowned. “She sounds scary, Ah reckon. It’s good she died in that fire.” She got up, and pretending to feel her way with her cane, gave Jeff a solid, painful whack in the shin. “Oh, ah’m sorry. Did ah hit someone?”, she innocently asked. Judy made a pretense of looking at her watch. “Oh, look at the time. Annalee, it’s almost six. Mom will be expecting us home for dinner. Jenny, you left your sweater at my place the other day. I forgot to bring it. Come home with us, and I’ll grab it for you.” After leaving the boys, the girls walked slowly back to Judy’s house. Jenny kept looking at Annalee questioningly. The shorter girl gave no indication of being aware of it. The girls reached the house and entered, and Annalee carefully maneuvered over to the couch. Jenny still looked at the girl uncertainly. “You know, there is something about you that seems familiar, but I just can’t place it.” Annalee turned her head toward Jenny and smiled. “Ah certainly hope so, ah mean ah’ve known you since we were both knee high to a grasshopper, ya know.”, The girl said with a mischievous grin, right before taking off her dark-tinted sunglasses and revealing those unmistakable black and red eyes.

Loverin Honorary colonel HCol Cliff Friesen Honorary lieutenant-colonel HLCol Michel S. Beaulieu McGillivray LSSR The Lake Superior Scottish Regiment is a Primary Reserve infantry regiment of the Canadian Forces. The regiment is located in Thunder Bay, Ontario, and is part of the 3rd Canadian Division's 38 Canadian Brigade Group. Also known as the "Lake Sups" (pronounced soups), the regiment was active during the First and Second World Wars. During the latter, the regiment, then known as The Lake Superior Regiment (Motor) or LSR(M), mobilized a motorized infantry battalion for the 4th Canadian (Armoured) Division. The LSR(M) and 28th Armoured Regiment (The British Columbia Regiment) were the only Canadian land-based units to score a naval victory during the Second World War. On November 5, 1944, the units sank three small German ships and destroyed a fourth in the port of Zijpe.[1][2] One of the ships was likely the AF-92,[3] a landing-craft-type vessel, about 153 feet (47 m) long, equipped to lay mines, and armed with two 88 mm guns. One legend suggests a mortar round fired by the infantry made its way down the funnel of one of the ships.[citation needed] The ship's bell from one of the sunken vessels was recovered, and is located in the Officer's Mess of the British Columbia Regiment (Duke of Connaught's Own). Since World War II, its soldiers have served throughout the world on numerous peacekeeping operations. Most recently, the LSSR has had several soldiers serve in Afghanistan. The regiment lost one soldier, Corporal Anthony "T-Bone" Boneca on July 9, 2006, fighting Taliban insurgents during Operation Zahar ("sword") in Zhari District, Kandahar Province. 1 Regimental information 1.1 Armoral description 1.2 Motto 1.3 Official abbreviation 1.4 Tartan 2 Lineage 2.1 The Lake Superior Scottish Regiment 3 Perpetuations 3.1 The Great War 4 Operational history 4.2 The Second World War 4.3 War In Afghanistan 5 Battle honours 9 Order of precedence 10 Armoury Regimental information[edit] Armoral description[edit] A large maple leaf in center charged with a beaver, encircled by an annulus, inscribed THE LAKE SUPERIOR SCOTTISH REGIMENT and surmounted by the Crown; below a scroll inscribed INTER PERICULA INTREPIDI; on each side of the annulus with six maple leaves.

Authority is killing. People are looting. It’s just another Friday. War and murder are never going to go away. They happen all the time. My problem is, it’s doesn’t happen enough. We get this horse shit virus that did nothing. A crazy President that hasn’t started a single war. False Flag attacks that not only didn’t start racial riots, but ended up being Dave Chappelle’s funniest joke ever. WERE IS MY APOCALYPSES!?! Where is the NWO globalization takeover? Where are the Alien invasions? Where is this Anti-Christ guy I’ve been hearing about for years? I don’t care if you try to end the world, just stop being mediocre about it. I got shit to do and I hate being patient! Anyway, some cop killed some dude and everyone will be mad about it for a week or two then totally forget about them both. Hey, do you guys remember Ahmaud Arbery? Yeah. Me neither. Let’s Make This Happen People, Kneel Before Mob Jimmy Fallon is an idiot. Not because he sucks at his gig on The Tonight Show, or just sucks in general, but because he bowed to the social justice mob. The ‘comedian’ recently apologized for dressing up as Chris Rock on an SNL skit from 20 years ago. 20. Fucking. Years. Ago. He should be apologizing because it’s not funny, not the blackface. Never bow to the mob…ever. Once you do, they have you. If they have you, they can cast you out. If you don’t owe anyone anything, they can’t take anything away from you. If you thought it was good, it was. Fuck the haters. ESPECIALLY if you’re a comedian. In a world Full of Fallons, be a Chappelle. Fuck Yo Couch, They’re Both Karens I’m sure you’ve seen this idiotic story. Black guy tells white girl to put her dog on a leash. White girl calls the cops saying black guy is threatening her life. Black guy films white girl choking her dog. Yadayada all hell breaks loose. Here’s a simple way to avoid all situations like this: Leave. People. The. Fuck. Alone. Yes. She’s a Karen for calling the cops, but he’s also a Karen for not only bothering a woman for her 80 year old Retriever that was not attacking anyone, but also because he was bird watching. He was fucking bird watching. Many are calling the white woman racist, but according to Joe Biden, if you go bird watching, YOU AIN’T BLACK! (due to legal reasons I have to inform you all that Joe Biden never actually said that…yet.) Still Hating Humans, Free. This. Man. In 1993, Mattieo Condoluci sexually assaulted a 5 year old boy and got probation. In 2007, he was given 2.5 years for raping a 13 year old girl. On May 19th 2020, Mattieo Condoluci got fucking shot dead. On May 20th 2020, everyone yelled “YAY!!!”. James Fairbanks, 43, was arrested on Tuesday for criminal homicide by the Omaha Police Department. He released the following statement: “I couldn’t in good conscience allow him to do it to anyone else while I had the means to stop him. I’m willing to turn myself in even though I’m confident I wouldn’t be caught because it’s my opinion that we need to fix this in our society. We cannot let this continue to happen to our children. They must be stopped. I know in this messed up judicial system that means I will face far more severe punishment for stopping him than he did for raping KIDS. But I could no longer do nothing.” I don’t know which of the two above are Condoluci and which is Fairbanks, but I’m gonna let you take a wild guess. Anyway, the petition to have President Donald Trump pardon Fairbanks has already hit nearly 12,000 signatures and is still growing. I just signed my self. I guessing Condoluci’s daughter did too, because her response to her father being killed was basically “good to hear” and that the only one she feels bad for is Fairbanks for now facing jail time. I feel bad for him too. The man is a hero. Sure, what he did was technically a ‘criminal act’, but c’mon.

Ruby Rose, star for such hits as absolutely nothing, has decided it’s time for her to leave her leading role in the CW’s Batwoman. Makes sense. It’s not like comic book properties on television and film are the biggest things going right now. She’ll be fine though. I’m sure other producers will be dying to work with her knowing that she quit her last show after only ONE SEASON. Hey, do you guy’s remember David Caruso? How about Brian Dunkleman? Anita Barone? No. Of course not. Anywho, here’s what this idiot had to say. “I have made the very difficult decision to not return to Batwoman next season. This was not a decision I made lightly as I have the utmost respect for the cast, crew and everyone involved with the show in both Vancouver and in Los Angeles.” Look, this show was tanking in the ratings and the only time I ever watched it was thru YouTube reaction videos that completely trashed it. The overall consensus seemed to be that Batwoman was garbage, just like Rose. She looks like a 30 year old 90 year old. Her acting is atrocious, her chin juts out like a meth head’s whose teeth are missing, and there is NO WAY to make a 100lbs woman beating up 300lbs men look believable. I’m guessing she saw the inevitable coming and decided to bounce before the blame would be placed on her. Good call. Supergirl, you’re next.

After denying this, Del Rio became enraged and began to beat the woman. He is then allegedly said to have bound the woman and “force objects” inside her for hours, all while threatening to kidnap and drop her son off in the middle of nowhere if she cried.

Associated Press reporter Eric Tucker says that Barr will provide lawmakers and the public with a summary of principal findings as soon as this weekend. The Attorney General Barr will not be providing Congress with special counsel Robert Mueller's findings on Saturday. That's according to a senior Justice Department official. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the person wasn't authorized to publicly discuss the review process. Mueller has concluded his investigation of Russian election interference and possible coordination with Donald Trump's campaign. Barr is reviewing Mueller's confidential report and has said he expects to provide Congress with the "principal conclusions" this weekend. 1. STILL -Special Counsel Robert Mueller departs the Capitol after a closed-door meeting with members of the Senate Judiciary Committee about Russian meddling in the election and possible connection to the Trump campaign "Mueller's mandate was to investigate links between the Trump campaign and Russia and whether there was any coordination between those two entities. Trump associates and members of the Russian government or Russians in general and then to investigate any crimes that arise out of that in the course of that investigation." 3. US Attorney General William Barr comes out of his house and gets in a vehicle out front "So Barr has told congressional leaders that he has received the report from the special counsel that he will review it and that he will provide lawmakers and the public with a summary of principal findings as soon as this weekend. He is currently at the Justice Department reviewing the report he received from Mueller." 5. Barr's motorcade arrives at DOJ "At some point. House Democrats who have the leadership in that chamber will decide what to do if anything with the findings. We've heard indications from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi that she's not interested at the moment in discussing impeachment. And we will have to see how damaging or incriminating if at all the findings are to the president and whether that will affect that calculus." 7. Various House Judiciary Committee offices "Right now the big push that we're hearing from House Democrats is that they want the entire Mueller Report. They want to see everything that Mueller gathered and collected before they decide anything. And so instead of impeachment talk what we're hearing right now is discussion of possibly subpoenaing for the report or subpoenaing Mueller to get that." 9. White House exterior "There is no question that White House aides and Trump confidants are taking a degree of satisfaction at least at this moment that there are no further indictments that have been delivered or that are expected from the special counsel. And so to the extent that, that that has occurred that's a degree of relief for them. But I think everybody still waiting to see exactly what the report indicates about the Trump campaign and in the Trump administration. And so it's a little bit of a holding pattern. But the president who has spent the last basically two years attempting to undermine or sow doubt in the credibility an investigation has been noticeably quiet over the last 24 hours with no tweets about it and no public statements about it." 11. STILL - Former FBI Director Robert Mueller, the special counsel probing Russian interference in the 2016 election, arrives on Capitol Hill for a closed door meeting before the Senate Judiciary Committee "The special counsel has indicated that he has not recommended any additional charges or indictments. And so that would mean that he is effectively closed up shop and that no one else will be indicted by Robert Mueller. However, it's important to note that there are all sorts of other investigations going on that originated as referrals from the special counsel that he began investigating and recognized fell without outside of his mandate. And so he referred those back to the Justice Department which then sent them to individual offices of the Justice Department including in New York City and in Virginia." 13.

Pelosi spoke in California after Mueller indicated Wednesday that it's up to Congress to decide what to do next with his findings. The special counsel stressed in his first public statement on the Russia investigation that he didn't exonerate Trump, as the president claims. Mueller said he was guided by Justice Department policy against bringing charges against a sitting president. Speaking at The Commonwealth Club in San Francisco, Pelosi said she wants congressional committees to investigate whether Trump obstructed Mueller's investigation. She said, "Where they will lead us, we shall see" and added, "Nothing is off the table." Mueller said Wednesday that charging President Donald Trump with a crime was "not an option" because of federal rules, but he used his first public remarks on the Russia investigation to emphasize that he did not exonerate the president. The special counsel's remarks stood as a pointed rebuttal to Trump's repeated claims that he was cleared and that the two-year inquiry was merely a "witch hunt." They also marked a counter to criticism, including by Attorney General William Barr, that Mueller should have reached a determination on whether the president illegally tried to obstruct the probe by taking actions such as firing his FBI director. Mueller made clear that his team never considered indicting Trump because the Justice Department prohibits the prosecution of a sitting president. Mueller did not use the word 'impeachment," but said it was the job of Congress — not the criminal justice system — to hold the president accountable for any wrongdoing. The special counsel's statement largely echoed the central points of his 448-page report, which was released last month with some redactions. But his remarks, just under 10 minutes long and delivered from a Justice Department podium, were extraordinary given that he had never before discussed or characterized his findings and had stayed mute during two years of feverish public speculation. San Francisco, California - 29 May 2019 1. Speaker Nancy Pelosi walks onto stage, shakes hands with Gloria Duffy at Commonwealth Club of California event 2. SOUNDBITE (English) Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House: "Yes I think it would be useful for him to testify before Congress. First of all let me thank him for his patriotism, to him and to his team of lawyers and analysts and the rest who provided some important documentation of a laying out of the facts of what happened and very clearly stating that Russia made an assault on our elections. And that's just plain wrong. That's an attack on America. He also was clear in saying that if he thought the president could be cleared, he would have cleared him, but he didn't. And that is very clear. So he has given us an array of facts which we will take to the Congress and to the courts as we go forward as we investigate and litigate." 3. Wide of Pelosi and Duffy on stage "The report- it has been misrepresented grossly by the attorney general. And while I have the utmost respect for special counsel Mueller and the work that he and his team did, I have total disrespect for the attorney general of the United States for his speaking untruths under oath before the Congress of the United States. And in addition to that misrepresenting in his spoon fed by his own choosing of words what the Mueller report was about. It did a disservice to truth and he did a disservice to the country." 5. Commonwealth Club sign on stage "I said that we are on a path that we would hope that if it is justified to bring impeachment that it would be clear to the Senate as well. The decision has to go down this path will be to be determined by the facts and where they take us." 7. Image of Pelosi above stage "You don't bring an indictment or you don't bring an impeachment unless you have all of the facts the strongest possible case so that the president is held accountable one way or another in the court of public opinion or in the court of law or in the Congress of the United States." 9.

Joe Burgett WWE has been doing a lot of interesting things with Daniel Bryan the last number of months. It’s clear they do not want him to leave the promotion, but they fall under a weird situation. Bryan wants to wrestle again, and with his contract coming up in September of this year….he’ll likely leave WWE to do it. Daniel has said that he would love to stay with WWE, just as long as he can wrestle for the company. This seems like a good compromise, but WWE does not want to do it as of now. Daniel Bryan is set to meet with WWE doctor Joseph Maroon at some point this month. He’ll be reevaluated here, and if by chance they find that he’s okay to go back to in-ring action, he’ll be good to go. Though Bryan has gone to multiple brain specialists/neurologists. He’s even been sent to many by WWE themselves. Every single one seemingly has found no real issue and that Bryan should be able to be in the ring. The question is, what gives? Well, WWE had been involved in a major concussion lawsuit. The theory is that even if Bryan gets hurt and decides not to sue or testify against WWE, the damage would be done. They could have him sign a contract to not do anything of the sort, but nothing would change the fact that he would have sustained another concussion. If this one is worse, that lawsuit starts to look better in its comeback. Now it appears WWE is trying to hurt Daniel Bryan’s stock mainstream wise. According to The Wrestling Observer, WWE has decided to turn Bryan heel in an effort to hurt his mainstream appeal if he does end up leaving the company. Clearly he would go to the best options for him, like Ring of Honor and New Japan Pro-Wrestling. The fans of these places may know Bryan and know how wrestling works. But mainstream wise, such as the case of major media outlets like ESPN, he may lose stock if his character begins getting hate. Joe’s Opinion Of This Daniel Bryan News (They Make Me Put The Label) [Image by WWE] If you think about it, it makes total sense to take Daniel Bryan down a peg. Why not hurt the stock of a man that is going to leave your company to do what he has wanted to do for the past few years? It makes complete sense. It’s not like YOU could possibly use him WWE, oh wait…you could! Sadly, the spine of WWE is a bit weak in this case. That should tell you the results of what goes down at Bryan’s visit to Maroon. Maroon most likely knows Daniel Bryan should be able to wrestle. There’s so much evidence from too many doctors for it to be a coincidence that they all come to the same conclusion. Bryan should be cleared. This is not my opinion or some mark in Chicago’s. It’s a medical opinion from certified specialists in the field of brain science. You know, the people who went to school for about a decade to know this stuff! WWE wants to save their butts on this to hopefully not give this moronic lawsuit any credibility, despite the fact that it includes a ton of former ECW stars like Sabu of all people. Seriously. This homicidal maniac who worked in a hardcore promotion for years before WWE wants to blame WWE for his concussions. We get the issue. However, they could also state in a courtroom that they have taken away a lot of the problems that caused brain injuries before. But accidents can still occur. Most of the crazies in this even worked the indies and cannot prove their brain issues happened in WWE. Daniel Bryan being held back from wrestling is terrible by WWE. However, if the rumor is true about WWE turning Bryan heel in an effort to his hurt mainstream appeal….then that is pretty stupid of WWE. To try to hurt the brand of Daniel Bryan because he plans to leave the organization who has enough science back to prove he can wrestle, but won’t let him. Funny enough, Bryan being heel is what originally led to his fanbase being built. So good looking trying to ruin his value, WWE. You’re going to need it.

After issuing another Money in the Bank ultimatum, The Miz and John Morrison will join Raw Talk to explain how they managed to get GILLBERG to return! Is it #CharTruth or #TheTruthSarahm hosting? It’s Charly Caruso and R-Truth back together! Charly welcomes us back to the show and tells Truth he was right, she was busy with “Thanksgiving” with her mom. But after enduring things in 2020, we should really give thanks whenever we can in 2021. Truth agrees and asks if she had potato salad. She had potato salad, tuna salad, chicken salad, and a turkey pot pie from catering. So good! But enough about food, as much as they could go on and on about it, Charly says we should talk about what happened at the end of Raw. Would we expect anything less from Alexa Bliss, though? Something is going on in that mind and body because of The Fiend, but it’s hard to put a finger on it. We got more questions than answers tonight, but that look in Alexa’s eyes said a lot. Just when you think it couldn’t get any worse, she beat Asuka! Truth says she’s hollow inside, like she has no soul! And then the whole thing with the lights and Alexa changing back, then the possession! The Fiend spoke through her! But didn’t he get burned up? So did we all. Truth doesn’t want to answer what’s going on with Alexa but Charly is thinking it could be his spirit. Truth says this is some paranormal activity here. So moving on, let’s get to our first guests, the Greatest Tag Team of the 21st Century, or as Charly calls them, two men who are AAAAWESOME! The Miz and Morrison join Raw Talk! Truth fist bumps Morrison ‘n’ Miz, Awesome Truth rides again. Miz wants to get to the question. Truth asks what it was like being with The Doors. No, he’s not Jim Morrison. But that’s old question. Charly wants to ask about The Dirt Sheet. Miz says it was a train wreck but Morrison argues it was great. Morrison wrote it so of course he defends it. Charly is more interested in the guests. How did they book that? Morrison asks if they understand the concept of “misdirection.” That’s what pro-wrestling is all about. You expect one thing, then BAM! It’s something else! That’s why the moonwalk is so great. You think he’s going forward but he goes back. Miz just wanted to make sure McIntyre and Goldberg understood that he could cash in at any time. Miz is even in the Rumble match! He could win the match, and then have a shot at the title at Mania anyway! Charly replays the footage of Gillberg coming out to the Goldberg entrance, and Miz says Morrison has an actor friend who could be McIntyre. Miz said the guy looks nothing like McIntyre, and Morrison said that’s the point! But then the fake asked for another take because he somehow forgot they were on live television! Well he doesn’t do live events, he didn’t know. Charly asks if they at least thought the parts were played well. We all saw it, what does she think? Charly is not entering her own opinion, she’s just the host. Well the impersonator thought it was great, and he was high-fiving everyone backstage. Miz just wants to remind everyone he is Mr. MITB and could cash-in. It was Morrison who wanted Gillberg to come back! The wig kept falling off! Hey, the message was sent! Case closed! Miz asks if Charly has anything else. Charly says The Dirt Sheet was definitely bigger than ever with that McIntyre. Morrison says that’s the Jersey version of McIntyre. Miz says they should’ve gone to Cleveland and gotten Drew Carey. But apparently the budget means nothing to Morrison. These sunglasses ain’t cheap. Nice pocket square. Truth makes a “sharp” joke and Miz doesn’t get what’s going on here. They’re bonding! They used to be a tag team. Yes, Miz and Truth used to be a tag team. Call it a remix. Then who would Truth choose? Miz or Morrison? Truth doesn’t do drama or peer pressure. Morrison says they’d be Black Magic & The White Shadow. Miz makes this “Breaking news.” Truth asks if Gillberg is available. He’s not an option. Truth would choose both. How diplomatic. Morrison would take Morrison over Truth, too. He just likes himself that much. Charly just wants to point out that the message was sent to those we were expecting to see tonight, i.e. McIntyre and Goldberg. Morrison is confident they were watching and the message was received. Then there could be a new champion at the Royal Rumble because of Mr. MITB. What are the odds? Can they tell us anything? Miz has had the opportunity to get the contract back. When he lost it because of a certain someone, Morrison, but… No no no, Morrison cashed it in for him but Miz lost it. But it’s a good thing Morrison did cash it in because now Miz has it back. Miz says he has the only real opportunity for the world title. He doesn’t get a lot of those anymore, but here it is. “At Royal Rumble, I know Goldberg and Drew McIntyre are going to tear each other apart. These are two big, muscular, brawling type of men and they are going to go at each other.” And Miz will be there to jump on it. Truth says he’ll be like a vulture! CACAW~! No, that’s a hawk. Close enough. Charly asks how Morrison will book the next episode, it might not sit well with Miz. Looking for a scoop? No scoop for you! Well, as always, this was an awesome time, Miz ‘n’ Morrison head out for the Queen of Spades to step in! Shayna Baszler joins Raw Talk! Charly feels Truth always has the better questions for Shayna so she’ll let him ask Shayna something first. Truth asks the Queen of Spades, “Are you better at Uno, Tonk, or Go Fish?” Can we not? Shayna has a long drive. Well Uno’s a long game, especially if the Draw 4 shows up. Shayna asks who in the back keeps scheduling her for this. Charly apologizes, she hoped he was going to come up with a slightly more intelligent question than that. As in, something along the line of sauces at least. Did she try the salmon today? Charly brings up her interview on Raw, in regards to her match with Mandy Rose and the tension with Nia Jax. Has anything changed since earlier tonight? They made it clear they want the tag titles back but where are we with that? Shayna says she proved that it doesn’t matter what’s going on with her and Nia, she can take care of things on her own. No idea why people have forgotten that. The alliance with Nia was of convenience. They didn’t get along but they were dominant champions. It was never a thing that they need to get along, they get it done in the ring. Charly surmises it as, it’s about coexistence for the common goal, but no commonality anywhere else? When was that an issue? We all saw that they haven’t gotten along, but Shayna still won. Say what you want about that, but do Charlotte and Asuka get along? They’re both too busy with the creepy Alexa stuff and the creepy Ric Flair stuff. Emotional stuff. Say what you want about Nia and Shayna, but at least they were always focused. Charlotte and Asuka have lost focus. That’s true, but amidst all of the tension, the challenge was issued. Have they heard anything back? Nothing yet, but the distractions are obvious. “When the prey is looking somewhere else, the predator can sneak up behind them.” That’s why Nia and Shayna are able to work together where they need to. So then, there’s two ways to look at it. As partners against the tag champions, they will be united enough, as they have been. But then, the Women’s Rumble, hopefully we see Shayna and Nia in there together. Are they allies or foes? That’s a completely different issue. Nia is experienced enough to know how a Rumble works. Shayna was a finalist. Shayna tied a record for eliminations, she knows how Rumbles work. It won’t be a surprise. So what, “Oh let’s do the thing people do where they team up and eliminate people and high-five and then oh no~!” Well it is a valid strategy. But it always happens! Someone turns on someone else. Shayna and Nia are separating Rumble and their tag team match. Charly has a lot of hypothetical scenarios, but no time for that tonight. Shayna says things go one way: they walk out of the PPV as tag team champions, and Shayna is winning the Women’s Rumble match. The relationship will remain unchanged. Then thank you for your time, and Shayna hopes it is a long time before she’s back here again. But she’s one of their best guests… Well, the last guest is PHENOMENAL! AJ Styles and Omos join Raw Talk! Styles really likes his music. Isn’t it the best theme in the WWE today? Truth says it’s alright. Styles asks what Omos thinks of his theme song, and Omos says it’s great. Truth wants to ask Omos about having Styles as his assistant. It’s phenomenal. Nice! Styles realizes Truth has it backwards. This is him trying to put a wedge between them. Don’t listen to him. Styles says this needs to stop. Charly, any questions? She just wants a grasp on his mindset after his match with Ricochet, where Ricochet was hoping to prove himself worthy of the Royal Rumble match. He did not win, Styles is obviously in, so what’s his mindset now? Well Styles’ mindset is on the Rumble and to win it. Wouldn’t it be great? From his debut in 2016, his documentary just came out, Omos says it’s the best one ever, go watch it on the WWE Network. It’s phenomenal, even! Was Omos there? No! Sigh… Truth, you’re just wrong, wrong, wrong. Did you not see what he did to Ricochet with that great Styles Clash? Yeah but Omos looks awesome, too! Styles asks Omos if it irritates him when people get the name wrong. Of course! It’s “Aw-moss.” Like awmos done? Don’t play around, Truth. Truth is keeping the peace! Charly will get things back on track. Truth excuses himself to Omos. Charly brings up that it will be five years in the WWE. What are Styles’ expectations, outside of winning, for the Rumble? Any number in mind? Well everyone wants to go 30th, because there will be all the others. Truth says the Phenomenal One should go first to prove it. And then Omos goes out! Well maybe Omos goes out there, too. Will he be in the Rumble match? We’ll see. Now that’s an unstoppable combo. But either way, there’s a plan. It’s a secret because it’s their plan. Can’t it be our plan? Nope. Charly wants Truth to get in the Rumble. Truth says he has other engagements, such as making sure “baby” WWE 24/7 Championship is safe. Charly thanks Styles and Omos for their time, and will see us again next Raw Talk! A very good Raw Talk, with really good energy. But of course, Miz ‘n’ Morrison are great talkers, Shayna knows her character and Styles is also great on the mic. I like that Miz and Morrison continue to argue about how The Dirt Sheet went, but I wish they’d given a name to the man who played fake McIntyre. Well we’ll probably never see him again but even so, it’d prove he was the “actor friend” to Morrison. Morrison should know the name of the guy who is supposedly a friend that he could ask to be fake McIntyre. Shayna being so done with Raw Talk is always a great part of her character, and she helped give some good details on how she and Nia are handling this. Styles and Omos have good chemistry for how this story is going, and them daring Truth to join the Rumble was fitting. Omos really should get in a match at some point, but maybe start with a 24/7 Championship moment with Truth in the ring and build from there. Steve Cook rocking some news off of his high from having an article of his highlighted on the Cornette’s Drive-Thru. How does the news this week look? Hi, hello & welcome to News From Cook’s Corner! Hope you all had an enjoyable weekend full of NFL football and whatever else you like to enjoy. I’d also like to wish you all a happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day, and pay homage to the man. He had a dream, and maybe someday we’ll live up to it. It was a pretty big week for your humble correspondent. When you’re a writer of any type, you’re prone to thinking that nobody cares about what you’re writing. I guarantee that even the most prolific authors have gone through that feeling. Maybe not James Patterson or Stephen King, everybody reads their stuff. Dave Meltzer probably hasn’t had that feeling in at least thirty years. Most of us have to fight it off. Especially those of us writing about pro wrestling, a form of entertainment where most of the people involved are constantly trying to deny the truth. Whenever we find any kind of acceptance, we have to lean into it. Even if there’s some qualifiers. For instance, when Traci Brooks first e-mailed me about an Impact recap I did for 411, she called me “Scott”. When Steve Austin read my 411 Wrestling Hall of Fame article on him and put it over as a good recap of his career, he thought Larry Csonka had written it, since Larry tweeted him about it. If you listen to Jim Cornette talk about an article I did on 411 listing the worst tag teams of all time, you won’t hear my name. The site was mentioned, which I appreciate since 411 still employs me. Still, though, it’s pretty cool that I gave Corny & Brian Last almost seventeen minutes of material for a podcast. It’s even cooler to me as a nerd that looks at these things that it got more YouTube views than their breaking down the SI Top 10 Wrestlers of 2020 list that got some run from WWE since they listed Sasha Banks at #1, or anything else they posted from that particular podcast. And they weren’t all from me! I waited a little while to listen to it because of my somewhat thin skin, but Cornette actually didn’t complain about most of the list. He thought the Ding Dongs should have been #1, but then he justified my pick of the Johnsons/Shane Twins while talking about their stint in OVW. Which took place after their run in TNA that made the list. I’m still amazed they got a WWE run. I haven’t always agreed with Cornette’s viewpoints on things over the years, but I grew up watching the guy and he’s the second greatest manager of all time. Also a fellow Kentucky liberal, which I’m pretty sure I’m the last of that dying breed. While we’re talking about things I’m proud of creating I’ve mentioned here before that I’m not exactly happy about reliving 2020. I would prefer to move on to 2022, since 2021 already looks like a dumpster fire. However, I am very proud of 411mania’s Larry Csonka Award. (I wasn’t going to say I came up with it unless it became public knowledge, and Jeremy Thomas elected to give me the credit.) It took some thinking, but I figured that since Larry was the hardest working writer that I knew, an award honoring him should award the hardest working pro wrestler. Then I had to figure out what that meant, and once I did, one of Larry’s favorites was the perfect honoree. Tomohiro Ishii won the award, & I can guarantee you that Larry would have been tweeting about BIG TOM ISHII throughout the year, even if I was begging him to talk about Ding & Dong. I used to hate when people would talk about what dead wrestlers would have approved of, but here I am telling you that Larry Csonka would have wanted Tomohiro Ishii getting an award named in his honor. As much as year-end awards annoy me from time to time, I hope this one lasts forever. It’s probably the most fulfilling week of my “writing career” except I didn’t make any money off of it. Well. Actually, I got paid for some of my work from last year, so that was also nice. If it wasn’t for everything else currently going on in my life besides this online writing & podcasting stuff, I would be a pretty happy dude! Anyway, let’s get to the news. WrestleMania Update: Not being held In Your House. WWE announced some future WrestleMania dates and locations! 37: April 10 & 11, 2021 Tampa NFL stadium 38: April 3, 2022, Dallas NFL stadium 39: April 2, 2023, Los Angeles NFL stadium Nothing especially surprising here. Tampa got jobbed last year, and you can’t have fans in California right now anyway. You also have to mix Dallas in there to keep Jerry Jones happy, and eventually you can try to break whatever the current WM record is listed at. looks it up 101,763? Ok. Am I the only one that has a problem remembering these things now? The old WM III attendance record of 93,173 was always an easy one to ramble off the top of your head. Too many numbers these days. I know some folks aren’t happy that WM has fallen into a rotation of cities in a certain part of the world, leaving everybody else out of the mix. That doesn’t bother me so much, mostly because I have no plans on attending one of these things. I wasn’t a fan of big crowds pre-covid. Now? Forget about it. HOF going virtual The Observer reports this year’s WWE Hall of Fame event is scheduled to be held virtually, without a live audience. No word yet on if there will be more inductees to join the folks that were scheduled to be inducted last year. I know we all miss having fans at wrestling events, but I think most of us can agree that the Hall of Fame would be better without fans on a permanent basis. That 2004 event at the hotel was so cool with Bobby Heenan and company giving speeches without having to be interrupted by stupid chants & assorted nonsense. I haven’t watched a full HOF event in years, as much as I like seeing the old folks, the ceremony became a joke thanks to fans acting like idiots. This should be a step in the right direction. Hey, I’m not anti-fan, not by any means. Can’t wait to see a crowd at WrestleMania. Wrestling is better with fans, hall of fame ceremonies aren’t. Pretty simple. AEW Covid Issues WWE’s issues with the coronavirus and various outbreaks have been discussed time & again. Up until this point, AEW had managed to keep their issues under the radar. There were a couple instances where matches were changed due to people being unavailable, but the impression was given that AEW was doing a better job of keeping its roster safe. That assumption has to be called into question after two of AEW’s top talents revealed their issues with the virus. Chris Jericho mentioned on his Talk With Jericho podcast that he had the virus back in September. He was asymptomatic & apparently quarantined himself during ten days where he was home & AEW wasn’t taping shows. It should be noted that Jericho appeared on every episode of Dynamite in September. Nick Jackson revealed that he had the virus during September as well, which a lot of folks suspected when he was conspicuous by his absence on two episodes of Dynamite. You just hope everybody’s staying safe. Dave Meltzer mentioned that both companies have been concerned that their talent has been too cavalier about the virus. Wrestlers from both WWE & AEW socialize all the time, especially now that so many of them are based in Florida. Many of them think that the virus is going away, when a look at the news on any given day tells you that it isn’t. Wrestlers aren’t the only people making that inaccurate assumption, of course. Ethan Page: Not as Hard To Kill as Impact Wrestling Those of you who caught Impact’s PPV on Saturday night were witness to a murder, the first one in Impact Wrestling in 2021. One assumes there will be more. At the conclusion of a match pitting Ethan Page against Karate Man, Man pulled Page’s heart right out of his body. This was believed to be Page’s final appearance with Impact heading into the evening, and one would assume that was accurate. Page was none too happy with how things ended with Impact. He posted a message on the Major Wrestling Figure Podcast expressing his discontent with how his match was edited & forced to be a joke, how he didn’t want to use the Karate Man character on TV, and how Impact hurt & disrespected him. This came as a surprise to me, because I thought it was obvious the angle was supposed to be a joke from the beginning. I wasn’t sold on it being the best way to write Page out of the promotion, but I did find the match entertaining. I also had a little bit to drink before watching it, so maybe that played a role. Not sure. I’m also not sure where Ethan Page goes from here. Talented creative guy, so we’ll probably see him somewhere sooner rather than later. Let’s just hope his heart’s healed up by then. Luchadors Running For Office! We know that lucha libre has run into some big problems since the pandemic. Most promotions aren’t able to run shows, giving wrestlers fewer opportunities to work & make money. Some have found other things to do, whether it be running food trucks, training people, or running for political office. Running for what now? Yep, that’s right, political office. Blue Demon Jr., Caristico & Tinieblas Jr. have filed to run for office as part of the Progressive Social Networks party, which was founded just last year. Each man is looking to attain a mayorship in a different municipality of Mexico City. Now, one question you might have is this: Would the men have to unmask and reveal their identity? They would, but only in front of the authorities in charge of the election. They would be able to maintain their secret identity in public, though this isn’t as big an issue for Caristico because WWE already made his government name a matter of public record. I haven’t seen any polling on any of these races, but it’s tough to count these men out. Wrestlers have a pretty good track record of success in political races in America & Japan. Why not Mexico? Well, that’s all we have time for this week! Stay tuned here to the Chairshot for all the sports, entertainment & sports entertainment you can shake a stick at!

__label__cc	0.746834	0.253166	The Internet of Things & 5G: Why every human being ought to be extremely concerned about health impacts 5G And The IOT: Scientific Overview Of Human Health Risks 5G is the term used to describe the next-generation of mobile networks beyond the 4G LTE mobile networks commonly used today. 5G is intended to be the technology that allows the Internet of Things (IOT) to exist and tie all internet connected devices together.Click here to see the latest science on 5G millimeter waves. Currently there is no standard for 5G networks in place and it will be a combination of a variety of frequencies and modulations. Industry is developing exactly what 5G will be as the standard has not been set yet. It is assumed that 5G networks will not become commercially available until 2020 but several cities are rolling out 5G as test areas now. Verizon and Sprint have announced “test cities” for 5G which include Sacramento, Washington DC, Atlanta, Dallas, Miami and New York. A first glance at US government websites such as the CDC and EPA could lead you to believe that this radiation is safe. Yet over 240 scientists and doctors from 41 nations who have published research in the field have appealed to the United Nations calling for urgent action to reduce these ever growing wireless exposures and they wrote the FCC for a moratorium on the roll-out of 5G citing the serious risks that to human health and the environment. Published peer reviewed science already indicates that the current wireless technologies of 2G, 3G and 4G – in use today with our cell phones, computers and wearable tech – creates radiofrequency exposures which poses a serious health risk to humans, animals and the environment. Scientists are cautioning that before rolling out 5G, research on human health effects urgently needs to be done first to ensure the public and environment are protected. However, instead of prudent public health measures to ensure the public’s safety, governments such as the United States are quickly rolling out 5G networks in neighborhoods and are enacting various state and federal regulations to “streamline” and fasttrack the rollout. These regulations will end the ability of communities to halt and be a part of the decision making process in this massive 5G infrastructure buildout. Wireless company documents clearly state that 5G will increase the levels of RF radiation in the vicinity of the antennas. Many countries such as China, India, Poland, Russia, Italy and Switzerland have far more protective and stricter radiation limits which will not allow the deployment of 5G as the increased 5G radiation would exceed their limits. These countries are creating roadblocks to the 5G rollout and industry has launched large scale efforts to loosen limits. Click Here For EHT’s Scientific FactSheets On 5G Click here to see the latest science on 5G millimeter waves. THOUSANDS OF MINI CELL TOWERS TO BE BUILT IN FRONT OF HOMES 5G will require the buildout of literally hundreds of thousands of new wireless antennas in neighborhoods, cities and towns. A cellular small cell or other transmitter will be placed every two to ten homes according to estimates. The purpose of this massive infrastructure build out of small cells, distributed antennae systems and microcells is to increase range and capacity in populated urban areas and prepare for the future 5G rollout. 5G frequencies will utilize higher frequencies that do not travel as far as the lower frequencies. US state and federal governments are moving forth regulations which would make the right of way in front of homes as available sites for 5G transmitters – without consent of the property owners. In response, communities are protesting en mass as they do not want these transmitters built in front of their homes and communities want to be able to regulate the placement on right of ways. Some municipalities are taking the case to the courts with litigation. 5G WILL USE HIGHER ELECTROMAGNETIC FREQUENCIES 5G will utilize multiple frequencies from those currently in use for cell phones and wireless to higher millimeter frequencies. Today’s cellular and Wi-Fi networks rely on microwaves – a type of electromagnetic radiation utilizing frequencies up to 6 gigahertz (GHz) in order to wirelessly transmit voice or data. However, 5G applications will require unlocking of new spectrum bands in higher frequency ranges above 6 GHz to 100 GHz and beyond, utilizing submillimeter and millimeter waves – to allow ultra-high rates of data to be transmitted in the same amount of time as compared with previous deployments of microwave radiation. Click here to read about the difference between 1G, 2G, 3G and 4G: 1G, 2G, 3G, 4G, & 5G Explained MILLIMETER AND SUBMILLIMETER WAVES ARE BIOLOGICALLY ACTIVE Current investigations of wireless frequencies in the millimeter and submillimeter range confirm that these waves interact directly with human skin, specifically the sweat glands. Dr. Ben-Ishai of the Department of Physics, Hebrew University, Israel recently detailed how human sweat ducts act like an array of helical antennas when exposed to these wavelengths. MECHANISM OF ACTION IS PROVEN Research already indicates serious adverse effects from the wireless modalities in use today. Research studies from the Dielectric Spectroscopy Laboratory of the Department of Applied Physics, Hebrew University of Jerusalem, headed by Dr. Yuri Feldman, indicate that 5Gs millimeter and submillimeter waves will uniquely interact with human skin and lead to preferential layer absorption. The number of sweat ducts within human skin varies from two million to four million. Replicated peer research of these biological effects in laboratory research has been conducted internationally and scientists consider this mechanism of action well proven (See documentation further down on this webpage). 5G FREQUENCIES ARE USED IN WEAPONS For years, the U.S., Russian and Chinese defense agencies have been developing weapons that rely on the capability of this electromagnetic frequency range to induce unpleasant burning sensations on the skin as a form of crowd control. Millimeter waves are utilized by the U.S. Army in crowd dispersal guns called Active Denial Systems. Dr. Paul Ben-Ishai pointed to research that was commissioned by the U.S. Army to find out why people ran away when the beam touched them. “If you are unlucky enough to be standing there when it hits you, you will feel like your body is on fire.” The U.S. Department of Defense explains how “The sensation dissipates when the target moves out of the beam. The sensation is intense enough to cause a nearly instantaneous reflex action of the target to flee the beam.” HUMAN SKIN WILL BE CLASSIFIED AS AN EXTREMITY ALLOWING HIGHER EXPOSURES Our skin is our largest organ. Dariusz Leszczynski, PhD, Chief Editor of Radiation and Health has stated that the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection usually referred to as ICNIRP – is developing recommendations for public exposure limits of these higher frequencies is planning to classify all the skin in the human body as belonging to the limbs rather than to the head or torso. Leszczynski cautioned that, “If you classify skin as limbs – no matter where the skin is – you are permitted to expose it more than otherwise.” We assume that in terms of US exposure limits this means that the skin will be classified as “an extremity”. Extremities are allowed to be exposed to much higher radiation levels than the brain, torso, legs and arms. In the USA extremities -in regards to wireless radiation- are specifically wrists and hands, ankles and feet and the ear. 5G DEPLOYMENT WITHOUT HEALTH EFFECT EVALUATION 5G is being developed and implemented without adequate evaluation of the effect of this technology on human health after long term exposure to these frequencies. Peer reviewed research studies have found adverse effects from the electromagnetic frequencies currently in use and that will be in use for this new technology. “There is an urgent need to evaluate 5G health effects now before millions are exposed. We need to know if 5G increases the risk of skin diseases such as melanoma or other skin cancers,” stated Ron Melnick, the National Institutes of Health scientist, now retired, who led the design of the National Toxicology Program study on cell phone radiofrequency radiation. In Dr. Cindy Russell’s A 5G Wireless Future: Will it give us a smart nation or contribute to an unhealthy one (Text PDF), published in the the Santa Clara Medical Association, Russell states that “3G, 4G, 5G or a combination of zapping frequencies giving us immersive connection and entertainment but at a potentially steep price.” Russell details the scientific documentation on 5G’s frequencies which include arrhythmias, heart rate variability, bacterial affects, antibiotic resistance, immune system affects, chromatin affects, teratogenic effects, altered gene expression and cataracts. Dr. Cindy Russell lists specific recommendations shared by Environmental Health Trust and scientists worldwide. RECOMMENDATIONS TO PROTECT PUBLIC HEALTH Do not proceed to roll out 5G technologies pending pre-market studies on health effects. Reevaluate safety standards based on long term as well as short term studies on biological effects. Rescind a portion of Section 704 of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 which preempts state and local government regulation for the placement, construction, and modification of personal wireless service facilities on the basis of the environmental effects so that health and environmental issues can be addressed. Rescind portions of The Spectrum Act which was passed in 2012 as part of the Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act, which strips the ability city officials and local governments to regulate cellular communications equipment, provides no public notification or opportunity for public input and may potentially result in environmental impacts. Create an independent multidisciplinary scientific agency tasked with developing appropriate safety regulations, premarket testing and research needs in a transparent environment with public input.

RECENT 5G and MILLIMETER WAVE BIOEFFECT STUDIES This compilation has included several papers compiled from Dr. Joel Moskowitz on his blog SaferEMR, from work presented at the Israel Institute for Advanced Studies at Hebrew University and from the Environmental Health Research Team. Russell CL. 5G wireless telecommunications expansion: Public health and environmental implications. Environmental Research. Available online 11 April 2018. in press. “On the horizon, a new generation of even shorter high frequency 5G wavelengths is being proposed to power the Internet of Things (IoT).” “It is argued that the addition of this added high frequency 5G radiation to an already complex mix of lower frequencies, will contribute to a negative public health outcome both from both physical and mental health perspectives.” “Like other common toxic exposures, the effects of radiofrequency electromagnetic radiation (RF EMR) will be problematic if not impossible to sort out epidemiologically as there no longer remains an unexposed control group. This is especially important considering these effects are likely magnified by synergistic toxic exposures and other common health risk behaviors. Effects can also be non-linear. Because this is the first generation to have cradle-to-grave lifespan exposure to this level of man-made microwave (RF EMR) radiofrequencies, it will be years or decades before the true health consequences are known. Precaution in the roll out of this new technology is strongly indicated.” “Current radiofrequency radiation wavelengths we are exposed to appear to act as a toxin to biological systems. A moratorium on the deployment of 5G is warranted, along with development of independent health and environmental advisory boards that include independent scientists who research biological effects and exposure levels of radiofrequency radiation. Sound regulatory policy regarding current and future telecommunications initiative will require more careful assessment of risks to human health, environmental health, public safety, privacy, security and social consequences. Public health regulations need to be updated to match appropriate independent science with the adoption of biologically based exposure standards prior to further deployment of 4G or 5G technology.” Betzalel N, Ben Ishai P, Feldman Y., The human skin as a sub-THz receiver – Does 5G pose a danger to it or not? Environ Res. 2018 May;163:208-216. doi: 10.1016/j.envres.2018.01.032. Epub 2018 Feb 22. Experimentally we showed that the reflectance of the human skin in the sub-THz region depends on the intensity of perspiration, i.e. sweat duct’s conductivity, and correlates with levels of human stress (physical, mental and emotional). Later on, we detected circular dichroism in the reflectance from the skin, a signature of the axial mode of a helical antenna. The full ramifications of what these findings represent in the human condition are still unclear. We also revealed correlation of electrocardiography (ECG) parameters to the sub-THz reflection coefficient of human skin. In a recent work, we developed a unique simulation tool of human skin, taking into account the skin multi-layer structure together with the helical segment of the sweat duct embedded in it. The presence of the sweat duct led to a high specific absorption rate (SAR) of the skin in extremely high frequency band. In this paper, we summarize the physical evidence for this phenomenon and consider its implication for the future exploitation of the electromagnetic spectrum by wireless communication. Starting from July 2016 the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has adopted new rules for wireless broadband operations above 24 GHz (5 G). This trend of exploitation is predicted to expand to higher frequencies in the sub-THz region. One must consider the implications of human immersion in the electromagnetic noise, caused by devices working at the very same frequencies as those, to which the sweat duct (as a helical antenna) is most attuned. We are raising a warning flag against the unrestricted use of sub-THz technologies for communication, before the possible consequences for public health are explored. Nasim I, Kim S. Human Exposure to RF Fields in 5G Downlink. Submitted on 10 Nov 2017 to IEEE International Communications Conference. Our results show that 5G downlink RF fields generate significantly higher power density (PD) and specific absorption rate (SAR) than a current cellular system. This paper also shows that SAR should also be taken into account for determining human RF exposure in the mmW downlink. TRIPATHI et al., Frequency of the resonance of the human sweat duct in a normal mode of operation, BIOMEDICAL OPTICS EXPRESS 130, Vol. 9, No. 3 \| 1 March 2018 This result indicates that careful consideration should be given while designing electronic and photonic devices operating in the sub-terahertz frequency region in order to avoid various effects on human health due to these waves. Betzalel, Y. Feldman, and P. Ben Ishai, “The Modeling of the Absorbance of Sub-THz Radiation by Human Skin,” IEEE Trans. THz Sci. Tech. (Paris) 7(5), 521–528 (2017). In 2008, we demonstrated that the coiled portion of the sweat duct in upper skin layer could be regarded as a helical antenna in the sub-THz band. The full ramifications of what these findings represent in the human condition are still very unclear, but it is obvious that the absorption of electromagnetic energy is governed by the topology for the skin and its organelles, especially the sweat duct. Di Ciaula, Towards 5G communication systems: Are there health implications?, Int J Hyg Environ Health. 2018 Feb 2. “Preliminary observations showed that MMW increase skin temperature, alter gene expression, promote cellular proliferation and synthesis of proteins linked with oxidative stress, inflammatory and metabolic processes, could generate ocular damages, affect neuro-muscular dynamics.” “Further studies are needed to better and independently explore the health effects of RF-EMF in general and of MMW in particular. However, available findings seem sufficient to demonstrate the existence of biomedical effects, to invoke the precautionary principle, to define exposed subjects as potentially vulnerable and to revise existing limits.

__label__cc	0.728342	0.271658	Fox 2 News FAIL – Gore vs. Obama While in the studio recording, a last-minute opportunity came up to play live on the Fox2 Morning News show. Our friend Kathy Vargo told us about a group was booked to appear the next day, but the singer got sick and couldn’t do it. I volunteered. She made some calls, and we were in! One caveat: President Obama was speaking locally and Fox2 was to broadcast his speech live that morning, also. Meaning, our performance might be delayed. Undaunted, we hustled to get to the TV studio bright and early for our chance to play live on TV. Leann and I were up at the crack of dawn getting our hair and make-up in order. I had packed my gear up the night before. This was February, so it was icy and cold out. Coffee in hand and wrapped up in our winter coats, the band converged upon the Fox2 Studio in Southfield, Michigan and loaded our gear onto the dock. We were shown our dressing room and then the set where the broadcast would be filmed. It was suspiciously dark in the studio, but the corner spot for the band was lit. We set up the amps and the drums. Monitors in the studio were playing the morning show live. A spot about shopping ran, I think, along with promos about Obama’s upcoming speech from Ann Arbor. The news desk sat dimly in the other corner; “FOX NEWS” letters gleaming in the low light across the front. Our gear set up, guitars tuned, and hair in place, we stood at attention. We were ready. We had one song to perform. Texts were coming through for each of us, parents and friends were tuned in. We waited. Nervous conversation and jokes were made. No sound crew came in. This kind of stuff is common in music, hurry up and wait. Finally, word from the crew came that Obama was late. We waited some more. Suddenly, the doors popped open on the other end of the studio. Clipboard wielding, headset-wearing folks stuck their heads in the door. They looked at us, then back to the hallway. The news filtered back to us across the set: we’d been axed. Our performance was cancelled to accommodate the live Obama coverage. A moment of disbelief, then the jokes ensued. Obama, who did he think he was? The true tragedy of the day being sleep lost, we started roaming around the studio and went to the set next to ours. It was set up for a cooking demo. We could not leave this alone. Video and photos were shot and the idea of a Valentines cooking show was hatched. I think Rachel Ray would like us! Obama, you may have won this round, but we will meet again!

We were excited and maybe a little nervous. Gorevette played with Blondie on the West Coast in early August, but we had some time off before the show in New York City. So, we had been rehearsing in Detroit in anticipation of what might be the biggest show of the tour. We showed up in Times Square ready to play. Show day had it’s stressful moments. First, we traveled from Brooklyn to Times Square only to discover we’d left some things behind. We had to go back. Then, a few hours before our set, Nikki realized she’d left her show clothes on the Upper West Side where she was staying. A quick cab ride later, Nikki returned to the dressing room flushed and smiling, her clothes in hand. Blondie’s sound check at the Nokia was amazing. The band added songs to the set different from the West Coast shows. They did the Doll’s “Jet Boys” and Bowie’s “Heroes” in addition to a cover of the Ramone’s “Pet Cemetary”. While watching the check, I got a phone call from my rep at Gretsch Guitars. Gretsch is going to have me as their featured guitarist at Gretsch.com! All of a sudden, everything seemed to speed up and we had only minutes to go before our set. We heard that the show was now sold out. Time’s up: we recited our pre-show mantra and marched on-stage. The first thing I saw once I looked out into the sea of people at the Nokia was Mary Weiss waving ‘Hello’ to me. I grabbed my guitar and we started the set. We brought it at the Nokia; I could feel tremendous energy behind us. Our 30 minute set came and went in a flash. After the set I met up with Little Steven Van Zandt and his beautiful wife Maureen and the one and only Mary Weiss of Shangri-Las fame. Mary Weiss is the sweetest, toughest, coolest woman I’ve ever met. She wanted to say Hi to Blondie drummer Clem Burke. In addition to being quite possibly the best drummer alive, Clem Burke is the consummate host. He seems to always have a party in his room after the shows. In Detroit, Deborah Harry entered Clem’s backstage with a bottle of wine in hand proclaiming “Party in Clem’s room!” This show was no different. After the show, Nikki Corvette, Mary Weiss and I crammed into Clem’s room, now crowded with people. Little Steven was there talking to the Plimsoul’s Eddie Munoz, and in between the hob-nobbery Nikki suggested we pose for a photo: After the show, we wandered around Times Square and then headed to the Hudson Hotel for an after party hosted by the one and only DJ Miss Guy. The Library Bar was packed. All of Blondie was in attendance, the lovely Deborah Harry at the turntables with Miss Guy & Co. The featured drink was the ‘Blondie': Grey Goose & Red Bull. I was introduced to Lee Childers at the bar, we had a fabulous conversation about vacationing in Tangier and his recently procured costume jewelry. Blondie live at the NokiaSomehow we made it back to our digs in Brooklyn, and Nikki back to the Upper West Side. I do not remember how. I do remember it was the best time I’ve had in New York, ever. Thank you and goodnight! « Heading to NYC with Gorevette to meet up with Blondie This is Amy Gore… featured Guitarist on Gretsch.com! »	cc/2021-04/en_middle_0047.json.gz/line256
__label__wiki	0.626102	0.626102	Top Banner Telecom Vendors Satellite Industry Enterprise Cloud Computing Digital Business Solutions Displaying items by tag: fixed access Nokia signs seven-year partnership with POST Luxembourg Written on Tuesday, 27 October 2020 10:45 Nokia has announced a new, seven-year agreement to support POST Luxembourg in supplying ultra-high-speed fiber access to consumers and businesses across the country. The deal confirms Nokia as the main supplier for fixed access to the operator, building on the long-standing relationship of the two companies. POST will deploy Nokia’s Multi-PON line cards, supporting GPON and XGS-PON simultaneously, and thereby reducing migration costs and effort. POST Luxembourg is the leading provider of fixed fiber access in the country, with an extensive DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) and GPON installed base. 72% of the Grand Duchy is already covered with fiber access. Nokia supports the operator’s plans to upgrade the network to XGS-PON, a new fiber access technology that can provide ultra-fast broadband speeds of up to 10Gbps for both downstream and upstream compared with the current maximum of 2.5Gbps. As the demand for bandwidth from consumers and businesses grows, Nokia multi-PON technology allows POST Luxembourg to bring new ultra-fast broadband services to the market quickly. In addition, the migration process allows POST to do the upgrades for customers with a minimum interruption to their service. The deal to bring reliable ultra-fast network services to customers strengthens POST’s position in Luxembourg and its capital, Luxembourg City, a major European hotspot for banks and large international companies, such as Amazon. Being one of the four capitals of the European Community, Luxembourg is also home to the Court of Justice for the European Union: making it a vital component of the region’s infrastructure. Gaston Bohnenberger, Director of POST Technologies at POST Luxembourg, said: “The choice for Nokia was made based on multiple factors: the long-standing partnership in the fixed access domain, the easiness of migration reducing the customer impact and Nokia’s optical networking technology. Demand for data is growing at a phenomenal rate. We need to make sure we can not only meet the needs now, but offer the fastest access and best service quality for our business and residential customers also in the future.” Sandra Motley, President of Fixed Networks at Nokia, said: “We are delighted to support POST Luxembourg’s ambitious strategy with our Multi-PON technology. The operator will utilize this technology to provide a futureproof network and up to 10Gbs broadband speeds for its customers, and do that with reduced migration costs and minimal interruption in the current services.” Published in Telecom Vendors Vodafone targets net zero carbon emissions by 2040 Written on Tuesday, 24 November 2020 11:05 UK telcos face fines for using Huawei after 5G ban Huawei contributes €16.4 billion to EU economy Written on Thursday, 19 November 2020 12:19 Tricolor employs Orange Business Services for omnichannel contact centre Written on Monday, 16 November 2020 11:57 Huawei, Cambridge Wireless to build private 5G testbed Nokia to build 5G-ready IP network for German telco Apple unveils first Macs powered by its own chips Written on Wednesday, 11 November 2020 06:16 Sweden suspends decision to ban Huawei 5G equipment Nokia partners with Austrian operator for LTE and 5G campus networks Orange acquires 54% stake in Telekom Romania Gadget & Devices Huawei to launch new smart glasses in November Apple’s latest lineup: what did analysts think?

__label__wiki	0.795265	0.795265	Blackwood Source Expedition 1994 The Blackwood River receives its name at the confluence or conflux of the Arthur and Balgarup Rivers, forty kilometres north east of the township of Boyup Brook although its source is a further 150 kilometres further into the wheatbelt. With a mean annual average flow of about 660 million cubic metres per year the Blackwood is the biggest river in Western Australia’s south west. This flow compares with a figure of 320 million cubic metres for the Avon River (measured at Walyunga National Park) and 12,500 million cubic metres for the Ord River (greatest flow of any river in Australia – the peak flow of the Ord is enough to fill Mundaring Weir from empty to full in 38 minutes). Measured at Winnejup Falls, about eighteen kilometres upstream from Bridgetown, the average annual flow of the Blackwood River is 300 million cubic metres. So it can be seen that the Blackwood picks up as much water after Winnejup as before. The many signs seen during the Expedition indicating the height of the January 1982 flood show just what extraordinary volumes of water flowed through the Blackwood River Valley during this freak summer flood. At Winnejup Falls, the flow was recorded at 1310 cubic metres per second (the peak for the Ord River is 33,000 cubic metres per second). There was no flood over the weekend of 27-28 August 1994. The Blackwood River was discovered on 6 May 1830 by Lieutenant Governor James Stirling, who led a party of settlers to found the town of Augusta. The exploration of the river on which this town was sited commenced the next day. Stirling, accompanied by Captains Currie and Molloy, James Woodward Turner, John Bussell and others ascended the river for a day and a half. On Stirling’s return to Perth from Augusta, the Surveyor General of the fledging Swan River Colony, J.S. Roe, issued a Government Notice to advise prospective settlers of the area’s potential. The notice stated: “The Inlet is of considerable extent and leads to a River named the Blackwood which was to the north about fifteen miles, and then ten miles to the East before it ceases to be navigable for boats.” Stirling named it after either Vice Admiral Sir Henry Blackwood or Captain Blackwood, later of the Fly and the Bramble. EXPEDITIONERS After a successful Murchison River Expedition in March 1994, I decided to run similar, short duration expeditions on local rivers. The promise of a very wet winter did not materialise and expeditions along the upper Moore River, the upper Avon River and the Gascoyne River had to be postponed. I planned an expedition for late August 1994 on the upper reaches of the Blackwood River, counting on its reliable flow. The Power Dinghy Racing Club’s Moore River Sprint was scheduled for the same weekend, however, after a fortnight of fine weather and consequent falling water levels it was clear that the race would not take place. This allowed would-be competitors in that race to participate in the Blackwood Source Expedition. We had unsuccessfully attempted to navigate the Blackwood River from its source to Bridgetown in November 1992, thwarted by low water levels. Information from Ross Ivey, a farmer at Westcliffe, upper Blackwood, on the Wednesday before the 1994 Expedition indicated that conditions could possibly be similar to 1992 even though the date was 10 weeks earlier in the year. I informed Ross that the Expedition would go ahead regardless and planning proceeded apace. Early interest from prospective participants was high. The Expedition would definitely be on! With thirteen participants and four boats the Blackwood Source Expedition was the largest expedition since the days of the Murray River Expedition ‘81 and the Darling Descent ’82 (both had 18 members). Telephone calls confirmed that the expedition flotilla would consist of two inflatables (latest rigid floor design), one ‘glass’ boat and one aluminium dinghy. A good mix for such an historic trip. The Bus was packed on Thursday night. I picked up David Whitney after he had arrived from Eaton by train at 4.30 p.m. on Friday, and soon after, the other participants started arriving. Last minute checks were made and the Expedition was ready to leave – only twenty minutes late. THE EXPEDITION Ten participants left Gosnells just before 6.00 p.m. on Friday evening. Mike Lenz, Adrian Bock and Cameron Wilkie departed from Mt Lawley in Cameron’s 4WD and were to meet with The Bus crew along Albany Highway. It was a trouble free run to Arthur River. I had decided earlier that it would be a non-stop trip to Westcliffe but as there was no sign of the crew in 4WD and, as the turn off was only a few hundred metres south, I decided to wait for them at the Arthur River roadhouse. David Whitney got behind the driver’s wheel after a short break at Arthur River. His unfamiliarity with The Bus and its poor turning circle caused a few hearts to beat faster as he manoeuvred off Albany Highway into the Boyup Brook Road, taking out a white post in the process. The adventure started at the Ualling Road Crossing – five kilometres from the Friday night camp. The old concrete crossing over the Blackwood River was partly washed out. The nearest way across the river was at Trigwell Bridge, many kilometres to the west.The road building exercise was a great team building exercise. By about 10.00 p.m. the holes in the crossing were plugged and The Bus was able to drive across. Ross Ivey was waiting the arrival of the expedition and had moved machinery out of his shed to accommodate the crew. It was a very late meal but one appreciated by all. The Blackwood beckoned. A pre-dawn rise, accompanied by misty rain, made for an early start. The crew wasn’t convinced that it was light enough to be awake so I turned on the lights. Seemed a simple enough solution. The Start Point was at a bridge four kilometres up the Balgarup River from where it joins the Arthur River to become the Blackwood River. We made a small detour to Ualling Crossing to see the results of the previous night’s exertions. Overcast skies and the hint of drizzle. Just before 8.00 a.m. the boats blasted off down the Balgarup. It was the start of a history-making trip. Experience from the previous attempt indicated that the land crew should wait until the boat crews were sure of getting through – the first major obstacle was only 100 metres downriver from the Start. Ross and Simon Ivey (who had temporarily joined the land support crew out of interest) and I watched the others in the land crew head downriver along the bank to give encouragement to the boat crews as they made their first portage. After the apparent progress of the boat crews was confirmed the support crew sped off to the Ualling Road Crossing and waited. And waited and waited and waited. They moved up the Crossing Pool. Reminiscent of ‘92. I sent the crew in the 4WD along the Boyup Brook Road (on the north bank) as far as Glenorchy Bridge. They returned and reported no sign of the boats. The hours were slipping away and it was time to take some decisive action to get the Expedition moving. After the crew of the 4WD returned from their sortie, the entire land crew returned to where The Bus had been left at the Crossing. Ross and Simon Ivey went off to work on their farm. They telephoned farmers upriver from them (downriver from the Balgarup bridge). No sign of the boats. Cameron drove the Landcruiser with Tony and I aboard back to the Start Point and then along Old Mail Road. We crossed a farmer’s paddock and headed down to the river. We spent a considerable time inspecting the banks and ti trees in an effort to ascertain if the boats had passed. Although virtually impossible to determine on a falling river, Tony and I both felt it was likely that the boats had not passed – a very concerning situation considering that this point was only four kilometres from the Start. Even though the available evidence suggested that the boats had not been through, ‘logic’ suggested that, with the extended passage of time, they must have passed by. After all, this spot was only four kilometres from the Start Point. Meanwhile, on the water, the boat crews were tackling what was, for some of them, the toughest bit of boating they had ever done. Only seconds after passing under the Balgarup River Bridge they faced the first of the obstacles – huge clumps of ti trees. These proved to be a headache for the boat crews for the next three and half hours. As well as having to contend with the ti trees they had to continually manhandle the boats over log jams, drag them through shallow water, lift them over fallen trees and push them through fallen branches. The banks of the river were sloping, muddy and slippery. The river was more of a creek than a river and the course was blocked by what seemed an impenetrable screen of rotting and fallen trees and vegetation. Mike Lenz’s inflatable became the first casualty when he staked one of the pontoons. The ‘inner’ was still inflated and they were able to continue. Not long after this unfortunate accident the carburettor on his motor started causing trouble. The needle was sticking in the seat. Near the junction of the Balgarup River with the Arthur River a stop was called to dismantle the carby. Several more stops were made to tinker with the offending carby but with little positive result. A few hundred metres in the Blackwood John Haynes’ motor overheated and seized. It was at this time that Tony and I were walking across the paddock to return to the vehicle. We heard the sound of outboard motors. We hurriedly opened the gate to the river paddock and it was then a mad dash in the ‘Cruiser to head off the boats. The 4WD nearly bogged in the soft centre of the paddock. As it turned out, there was no need to rush. The speed of the boats was not even normal walking pace. Contact was made 3 hours and 48 minutes after the Start. Although Mike Lenz’s inflatable was still operable Dave Snooks advised that its motor would most likely continue to cause troubles. The rig was removed from the water and loaded on the trailer, as was John Haynes’ crippled craft. Craig Smetherham and John joined the land crew. The two remaining boat crews were sent on their way – confident that the river would open out and the water would get deeper. John Goodbody and Brent Barden in the glass boat beat the support crew back to Ualling Crossing. Adrian and Dave in the inflatable were not far behind. The arrival at the Crossing realised the efforts of 26 people in two expeditions spread over a period of nearly two years. Short though that section of river was, it represented a major achievement for the team and for power dinghy expeditions. Brent Barden’s motor was brought out of The Bus and put on the aluminium boat. The Expedition had been very quickly reduced to two boats but was now back to three. John Goodbody, Brent, Adrian, Dave, John Haynes and Craig Smertherham departed in the boats around midday. Tony and Cameron headed off in the 4WD to check the boats at the first big pool and The Bus crew called in to see Ross Ivey and thank him for his assistance. John Goodbody’s twenty years of dinghy racing experience came to the fore over the remainder of the first day as he continually picked the channels and guided the less experienced crew down the river. The upper Blackwood River is quite similar to the lower Blackwood – long pools separated by dense thickets of ti trees, occasional log jams and few rocks. The further down the river the boat crews progressed the longer the pools became. After a flat out blast down a long pool the boat crews were often brought back to reality by thick clumps of ti trees. Old crossings (since replaced by nearby bridges) with only a few centimetres of water flowing over them provided interest and a challenge for the crews. The country was covered by a carpet of intense green, typical of Western Australia’s south at this time of year. Wildlife was plentiful with a whole host of water fowl being seen including shags, swans and a great variety of ducks. The Support Crew waited for thirty minutes at Ross Ivey’s second property (where the members of the November 1992 Expedition had camped) before they realised that the river split in two and the boat crews had taken the far channel. While waiting at Condinup Bridge I sent Tony, David and Cam off to find a campsite. While not ideal, it was OK. On their return, Cam was left behind to inform the boat crews that camp was five kilometres further downstream. The others went on to set up camp at a spot about five kilometres upstream from Boyup Brook. LESSON LEARNT Campsites must be selected early in the day – see Murray River Expedition ‘93 The early evening was spent fixing a tear in Mike’s boat and cleaning the carburettor of the motor which had caused so much trouble earlier in the day. A gamble was taken that it would not rain overnight and so the annexe to The Bus was not erected. David entertained the troops with hot air balloons made from a garbage bag and firelighter. After such a long and strenuous day it was an early night for all. Early rise on a cold morning. The boat crews were on the water by 8.00 a.m. Mike Lenz and Cameron Wilkie were in a rubber ducky, Adrian Bock and Ewout were in the second rubber duck, John Goodbody and Hun were in the ‘plastic’ boat, and Brent Barden and John Haynes were in the aluminium dinghy. A full strength flotilla. The support crew had a longer than expected wait at Boyup Brook although the boats were travelling well. Some dense ti tree thickets upriver from Boyup Brook caused the delay. Tony offered $50 to any one of the support crew who was game enough to run along the pipe next to the bridge. He kept his $50. The land crew arrived at the Upper Blackwood Bridge on Jayes Road and decided to check out the source of a great deal of foam floating on the surface of the water. Reference to the map showed that it was most likely caused by the old crossing about 500 metres upstream. Leaving The Bus at the bridge David drove Tony, Craig, Dave and I up to the crossing in the 4WD. Tony insisted that, as the boats would have to be manhandled over the crossing, it would make an ideal spot to refuel. The arrival of the boats caused mild panic when three of the crews chose a channel to the south of where the support crew were waiting. The land crew were not aware of the existence of this channel. However, the boat crew stopped long enough for me to splash through the shallows and meet up with them. They returned to the channel where the majority of the party was waiting. It took some time to refuel the boats and manhandle them across the shallow, rocky crossing. The boat crews were faced with thick scrub immediately down river from the crossing. Ewout and Hun were enjoying their first stint of power dinghy style boating. From Jayes Crossing to Winnejup on the water The Support Crew travelled around to the Winnejup Falls in the 4WD and then walked down the river bank to the rapid. The boat crews had arrived by the time the land crew arrived. All boat crews assessed the major part of the falls. I was at pains to ensure that there was no pressure to shoot the rapid. It was the decision of each individual driver. No undue pressure was applied. The result was that only the crew of the two ‘rubber duckies’ decided to shoot the rapid. A wise choice. A lot of time was wasted at the obstacle. The remaining two boats were carried around. John Haynes checked out the Rapid for an alternative route to no avail. The Support Crew left with instructions for the boat crews to wait twenty minutes before departing. This would give the land crew sufficient time to return to where The Bus had been left and then continue to The Basin. As it turned out the artificial delay was not necessary – the boat crews had a delay of their own. After a long wait at The Basin I sent David Whitney and Dave Snooks upriver to find the boats. They saw them at Savage Creek crossing. The boat crews were presented with a problem – a huge log that completely blocked the river. It was impossible to go around it. At one metre out of the water it was too big to drive the nose of the boat up on. Six expeditioners were required to manhandle the boats over the log. From the Basin it was only a short run into Bridgetown. Packing up was quick and the Team headed home. The Blackwood River had been successfully navigated from its source for the first time.

__label__cc	0.728004	0.271996	2011-01-19 — For me the biggest problem of the calling of the disciples has been the way they just drop everything to go. Who has that kind of faith? I’ve been non-plused as others try to down play the radical nature of this response, arguing that Jesus most likely had been hanging around a lot before making the call. Maybe so. Then I read Daniel Harrington’s commentary on Matthew “The lack of preparation, the simple commands given by Jesus, and the immediate responses all underline the attractiveness of Jesus.” …. Right. BIBLE PASSAGE — Now when Jesus heard that John had been arrested, he withdrew to Galilee. He left Nazareth and made his home in Capernaum by the sea, in the territory of Zebulun and Naphtali, so that what had been spoken through the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled: “Land of Zebulun, land of Naphtali, on the road by the sea, across the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles— the people who sat in darkness have seen a great light, and for those who sat in the region and shadow of death light has dawned.” From that time Jesus began to proclaim, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near.” As he walked by the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea—for they were fishermen. And he said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you fish for people.” Immediately they left their nets and followed him. As he went from there, he saw two other brothers, James son of Zebedee and his brother John, in the boat with their father Zebedee, mending their nets, and he called them. Immediately they left the boat and their father, and followed him. Jesus went throughout Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the good news of the kingdom and curing every disease and every sickness among the people. — Third Sunday after the Epiphany, Series A Type in a subject or a bible reference, like John 7:1-4 or simply Matthew 3.

Zebulon and Naphtali were like what Vietnam and the Sudan are to us today—places that have been torn apart by war. Jesus was inviting them not to fish for converts but to bring back those still in exile, the lost and forgotten. Jim, if I may, I’d love to use this comic to illustrate my sermon on my blog.

At the time the early looks at the games looked very promising, with Ms. 'Splosion Man seeming to one-up its predecessor in both the humor and gameplay aspects and The Gunstringer showcasing how to properly do a Kinect title. Months later at E3 I had the chance to get more hands-on with both titles, and from the looks of what I witnessed we are in for two more hilarious and fun titles. After meeting with Jay Stuckwisch up in the Xbox booth he had me go hands-on first with Ms. 'Splosion Man. Here he had me test out a new level, this time in the tropics area. Unlike in 'Splosion Man the sequel takes place mostly outside the confines of the Big Science Labs, with the Miss travelling around different overworlds. (The level layout is somewhat of a nod to Super Mario Bros. 3, where players can skip levels and even find secret exits.) Once the level started Ms. 'Splosion Man entered the surroundings in a fashion similar to a famous scene from Total Recall, the second Twisted Pixel game to reference it (the first, of course, being in Comic Jumper). Right off the bat I noticed the trickier puzzles, jumps that needed to be timed properly and a couple new power-ups. I also noticed how many times I died in the game, a number which I lost count on, so I can imagine myself using "The Way of the Coward" to move my way through a couple of the levels. (The only question that remains is what happens to Ms. 'Splosion Man if I use it. Seeing that a tutu would most likely accommodate her I can imagine that something more embarrassing will befall her if I took that path.) Soon after I was brought in to try The Gunstringer. Because of the tight space I was in during PAX East I had an issue with playing on the Kinect, as the people that walked too close to my playing area caused the game to be constantly interrupted. Fortunately at E3 they had set up private booths for all their Kinect titles, making it impossible for other gamers to obstruct the Kinect's view. With that I started playing a new level introduced at E3, where you try your hand at some brawling segments. The level was set up in a side-scrolling manner, making it easier to see what was up ahead and above the level. Its view changed later on, as I was being chased by massive boulders and logs that wanted to do nothing but destroy my little puppet friend. Suddenly I was introduced to the Gatorjack, a half-man half-gator hybrid whose aim was to make a chew toy out of the Gunstringer. I was thrown into a flashback, where we first see the Gunstringer before he was a wooden corpse. The level was thrown into a black-and-white world (or sepia, if you want to get technical), and my living Gunstringer was jumping over crocodiles, performing spin attacks and attacking basically everything that moved. The demo ended when I came across a lumberjack getting PG-13 with a crocodile. As I am still not used to using the Kinect I found playing The Gunstringer a tad difficult. My arms were hurting after a few minutes of play, and I needed to truly move myself if I were to move the game's protagonist. I finally got it into my head to go at the game like I used to back when I was younger, moving around with the action going on around the screen, and finally the game started clicking with me. The Kinect was also reading my movements a lot better than before, as there was more room to maneuver in the booth than there was at PAX East. With a July 13 release date for Ms. 'Splosion Man in the Xbox Live Arcade and a September retail release for The Gunstringer you can bet that Twisted Pixel will have your fingers working, arms flapping and funny bones tickled throughout the summer and fall seasons of 2011.

Harry Voss and Olivia Kaser, who are starting to show real promise, won the 9 and under events to follow on from their success at 9 and under County Cup in August and Deimante Jotaute and Ishaan Bansaal won the 8 and under events. We had 14 teams playing in the Red 8 and under event – 56 children involved. Pride of place went to the host Club – Cambridge Club who won Tier 1 and LK Academy who won Tier 2. In the orange team event where 8 teams played the Cambridge Club won both Tier 1 and Tier 2 with some excellent play. In the 14 and under team doubles the Cambridge Club were again victorious. Overall it was a fantastic week and Sue Rich and Tim Arthur who refereed the event were really pleased with the great atmosphere created and thanked everyone for their support. LTA British Tennis Awards 2019 - Now open The British Tennis Awards were launched in 2015 and these were designed to celebrate the efforts of the thousands of volunteers, coaches and officials who underpin the grassroots of tennis. In 2018 a record-breaking total of over 1,500 nominations were cast to recognise the incredible people and places that help keep tennis ticking across the country. The winners of county rounds are all considered for regional awards and some of the regional winners are shortlisted for the national awards. Following on from the Cambridgeshire 2018 County Award presentation, which took place at the County AGM on 20th March 2019 at Emmanuel College in Cambridge, The Young Person of the Year Award winner, Megan Carmichael, was invited to a Young Volunteer’s Day at the National Tennis Centre in Roehampton. Toby Jackson, Coach of the Year, and Lawrence Hopkins, Volunteer of the Year, were invited to the President’s Lunch at Wimbledon. We are very proud to report that Lawrence Hopkins was presented with the Central and East of England Volunteer of the Year Award during the lunch. Lawrence said “I was astonished when I heard I had been nominated for this award. I just do what I do because, along with the other members of our excellent Committee, I want to see Haslingfield Lawn Tennis Club be a thriving, successful Club. I get so much satisfaction from seeing loads of people playing tennis in Haslingfield – that’s what it’s all about for me.” Simon Grainger, Chatteris St Peter’s Tennis Club, won the County Lifetime Achievement Award. From this he went on to win the Regional Award and was shortlisted for the National Award. Simon was invited to Wimbledon during the Championships to take part in the National Awards Ceremony. Both he and the county were delighted that he won the National Lifetime Achievement Award and was invited to meet the Duchess of Cambridge, the LTA’s Patron. Simon said “It came completely out of the blue and it was an absolute honour to be introduced to the Duchess of Cambridge and tell her a little bit about what we’ve been doing for tennis in our small community. I don’t think she’d heard of Chatteris. She knows Cambridgeshire obviously. I’ve changed that, now she knows about a small Fenland town in the north of the County. I think she’s got a genuine interest in the sport. She says her two children are hitting tennis balls at a very young age and showing an interest in racquet sports and hopefully that will continue.” Cambridgeshire has done very well in the Lifetime Achievement category with Christine Knight shortlisted for the National Award for 2017 and Sue Rich winning the National award for 2016. Both have given outstanding service to County tennis over many years. Putting forward a nomination is a great opportunity to thank the volunteers, coaches and officials associated with your club for all their hard work and to show your appreciation. The 2019 British Tennis Awards are now open for nominations, with a closing date of 30 November 2019. Please do make a nomination in any of the following categories – you never know where it might end up: Lifetime Achievement Award, Volunteer of the Year, Young Person of the Year, Coach of the Year, Club of the Year, Community Venue of the Year, Education Award, Disability Award, Competition of the Year and Official of the Year. One person making a nominee will be selected at random and their club will receive £250 To make your nomination please go to the LTA website - www.lta.org.uk/awards Jianzhou wins his first grade 3 beating Daniel Austin from Herts in the final If you would like your club or team to be featured in the Cambridge News, or have any forthcoming tournaments or events you would like to publicise, please send your stories, results, reports and details to sports reporter Andrew Georgeson at andrew.georgeson@cambridge-news.co.uk	cc/2021-04/en_middle_0047.json.gz/line275

__label__cc	0.703816	0.296184	Home Highlights BIRAC, Social Alpha and Mphasis Select Top 14 Indian Assistive Technology Start-ups... BIRAC, Social Alpha and Mphasis Select Top 14 Indian Assistive Technology Start-ups Catering to Persons with Disabilities (PwDs) Bangalore, January 23, 2020: All-terrain slip-proof crutches, electric wheelchairs designed for Indian terrain, gaming tools for screening autism and a $1 speaking device are among the 14 winning start-ups announced by BIRAC, Social Alpha and Mphasis, as a part of their programme designed to identify and support technologies that can improve the lives of Persons with Disabilities (PwDs). The winners of BIRAC- Social Alpha Quest for Assistive Technologies, supported by Mphasis, were chosen from over 100 applicants based on their business model, technological innovation, product-market fit, focus on affordability and accessibility and socio-economic impact. The start-ups were evaluated through a multi-phase process, including a written application round, a structured interview and a pitch to the expert jury members. Flexmo Crutches: All-terrain slip-proof and self-standing crutches for persons with locomotor disability The winning solutions include assistive technologies in speech and hearing impairment, locomotor disability, visual impairment and intellectual disability for children and adults. The winners were awarded grant prizes up to INR 50 lakh each, for completion of the clinical trial, improvements in design-for-manufacturability and fulfilment of work orders. They were also enrolled in the Social Alpha Accelerator for Inclusive Solutions, a comprehensive and rigorous three-month accelerator programme where they will be given the chance to work with selected implementation agencies within the Social Alpha, BIRAC and Tata Trusts network, interact directly with potential users of their product, and gain exposure to other investors, buyers, and CSR initiatives. ArmAble: A game-based solution that provides engaging and intensive rehabilitation therapy for people suffering from upper limb motor deficit In a unique Public-Private Partnership model, BIRAC, Social Alpha and Mphasis came together last year to scale and support Assistive Tech start-ups that are working to enhance learning, working and independent living for PwDs in India. Experts believe there are anywhere between four to eight crore disabled people in India, i.e. one in twelve households has a family member with a disability. Moreover, due to low literacy levels, social stigma and lack of opportunities, people with disabilities remain the most excluded and unidentified members of Indian society. Stamurai: It provides accelerated therapy for stammering and other speech-related issues, through speech exercises and practice tools Speaking at the event, Manoj Kumar, CEO & Co-Founder, Social Alpha said, “We received more applications than we anticipated.

__label__cc	0.681569	0.318431	When the Law Distinguishes Between Failure to Give and Taking Away Last week I expressed skepticism about the validity of the distinction between failure-to-give and taking-away that Judge Reinhardt's opinion draws in Perry v. Brown. I explained that while I understood the motivation of attempting to invalidate Prop 8 on California-only grounds, I didn't think the distinction should make much of a difference in the context in which it was invoked -- except perhaps as a piece of evidence in a case attempting to show that Prop 8 was motivated by "animus" in violation of Romer v. Evans. Similar skepticism has since been expressed by others who share my general view that there ought to be a constitutional right to same-sex marriage. For a nice overview of the issue in political context, see David Cole's essay in the NY Review of Books. But to say that the failure-to-give/taking-away distinction should not cut much ice in the Prop 8 case is not to deny that it is important in other contexts. Here I want to ask more generally: When does and should the distinction between failure-to-give and taking-away matter in the law? I have three examples in mind but I'd be very interested in additional suggestions from readers. 1) The most fundamental use of the failure-to-give/taking-away distinction in law tracks the act/omission distinction in deontological accounts of morality. Tort law and criminal law provide the most familiar examples. Tort law and criminal law impose very severe prices and penalties, respectively, for deliberately taking away someone's life, health or safety. By contrast, under the law of most American jurisdictions, there is no general duty to rescue a stranger, even if the rescue would cost the rescuer virtually nothing. Even those jurisdictions that impose Good Samaritan obligations punish failure to comply with such obligations much more leniently than they punish intentional deprivations. 2) State action doctrine in constitutional law utilizes the failure-to-give/taking-away distinction in much the same way as tort law and criminal law. Thus, in the DeShaney case the Supreme Court says that while the Due Process Clause forbids the government from depriving people of liberty (or life or property) without due process, government generally has no obligation to give people protection for their liberty (or life or property) against private deprivations. That is a natural (though not inevitable) reading of the language of the Due Process Clause and it extends more broadly to the Court's rights jurisprudence: Rights are rights against deprivations, not rights to assistance. 3) The Takings Clause of the Fifth Amendment embodies a more particularized failure-to-give/taking-away distinction. Suppose that a state had a longstanding common-law property rule making clear that certain categories of beachfront property could not be developed. The State would then be under no obligation to give development permission to any particular owner of a parcel of such beachfront property. However, if the background property rule included a right to develop, then a new regulation denying the beachfront property owner the right to develop could constitute a regulatory taking requiring just compensation. So holds the Lucas case. Interestingly, none of the foregoing examples necessarily relies on the endowment effect as such. (The endowment effect means that people value things more highly if they already have those things than than if they do not). The normative force of the Takings Clause does not rely on the endowment effect because it only requires the payment of fair market value as just compensation, whereas compensation for the full value of loss might be higher. In any event, I'd be interested in other instances in which the law already does and/or should draw the failure-to-give/taking-away distinction. Posted by Michael C. Dorf at 4:26 PM Mark Regan said... Justice Rehnquist always took the position that the Supreme Court has never held that applicants for public benefits, as opposed to recipients, are entitled to due process protections.

__label__wiki	0.540371	0.540371	1st century b.c. - 4th century a.d. Centered in the city of Rome, the civilization of Ancient Rome ruled much of Europe for over 1000 years. The arts flourished during this time and were often used by the wealthy and powerful to memorialize their deeds and heritage. Life syle. Romans used elements from older cultures especially Greece initially the Romans were overwhelmed by Greek art (esp. statues) as it began to influx into Rome and was used as decorations in Roman forums as all the original pieces were claimed, the Romans made their own copies of the Greek art as time went on the Romans put their own spin on Greek art lived in organized towns and cities build practical structures to deal with the city life Rome was a huge city of 1 million people they had to create ways of bringing food and water into the city and create entertainment for the citizens the Romans loved to take baths very little is left of Roman art except in the city of Pompeii, when Mount Vesuvius erupted in 79 A.D. they had patterned streets, theaters, temples, fountains, baths, markets, bridges, etc. eventually huge Basilicas, public baths, Triumphal arches and aqueducts were built Painting. created narrative relief paintings often using the Fresco technique of painting into wet plaster often painted panels of figures in military exploits also painted and decorated triumphal arches more literal they sculpted real people from wax death masks creating a factual record of the person’s character and appearance Basilicas, triumphal arches, civic buildings, and practical structures invented concrete and discovered how to use the arch and create a vault, these factors led to their creation of the dome new creations were possible with the concrete building materials included brick, stone, concrete, tiles, and iron used many Greek elements in their buildings An aqueduct is "a system that carried water from mountain streams into cities by using gravitational flow" Key info - study of specific art pieces 7. The Pantheon – Emperor Hadrian 118-128 A.D. Title: The Pantheon Architect: Unknown Date: 118-128 A.D. Style/Period: Roman Materials: Stone and Concrete Building’s features: The building is circular with a portico (porch) of large granite Corinthian columns (eight in the first rank and two groups of four behind) under a pediment. A rectangular vestibule links the porch to the rotunda (round room), which is under a coffered concrete dome, with a central opening (oculus) to the sky. The coffers in the dome reduced some of the massive weight and also added decoration. The sloped floor drains water into the gutters around the sides. The Pantheon is made of stone and marble with some wood in places. (example photo under Lifestyle) The Romans were exceptional builders and created many new architectural devices such as concrete. It was the invention of concrete that enabled the builders to make the dome. Almost two thousand years after it was built, the Pantheon’s dome is still the world’s largest unreinforced concrete dome. The height to the oculus and the diameter of the interior circle are the same (43.3 meters or 142 feet). The dome allowed for a huge open space without columns. The barrel vault that supports the dome is 6 meters thick. It is one of the best preserved buildings of Ancient Rome due to its continuous use. It was built at the height of Roman glory and power. It is currently a Catholic Churchdedicated to St. Mary and is a tomb to many including a few Kings and Queens of Italy. KEY ELEMENTS & PRINCIPLES Form (geometric) Space (the large amount of negative space) Texture (a variety of surfaces and finishes) Balance (formal) Harmony & Rhythm Variety (in textures, forms, colours) 10. Frieze in the Villa of Mysteries – 65-85 B.C. Title: Frieze in the Villa of the Mysteries Date: 60-85 B.C. Materials: Fresco wall painting This was a decorative work in the home of a wealthy Roman in Pompeii. The figures appear to be acting out a story on a stage. The composition is elevated just above eye level. The horizontal bands on top and at the bottom also reinforce the idea of the stage. The poses and clothes reflect the Greek Hellenistic period. The Fresco technique is where colours are mixed with marble dust and painted directly into wet plaster. The intensity of the colours in this work only exists because it was sealed in volcanic ash and lava for so long. 8. Arch of Constantine – 315 A.D. Title: Arch of Constantine Materials: Stone and Marble Dimensions: 82ft wide and 67 ft high The Arch of Constantine is a triumphal arch in Rome, situated between the Colosseum and the Palatine Hill. It was erected by the Roman Senate to commemorate Emperor Constanine I’s victory over Maxentius at the Battle of Milvian Bridge. The arch spans the Via Triumphalis, the way taken by Emperors when then entered the city in triumph. The Emperors, Generals and Commanders went through the larger central arch on horseback while the soldiers walked through the smaller side ones. Once the design of the arch had been mastered, it was employed in the building of many structures such as the Colosseum, aquaducts, bridges, etc. The Arch of Constantine is made of stone and marble. It is 82 feet wide and 67 feet high. 9. Portrait of Brutus – 80 B.C. Title: Portrait of a Roman Materials: Marble The Romans made wax death masks of the deceased. Plaster was poured into the mask to make a temporary model from which a marble sculpture could be copied. During the Roman period the rights of the individual were very important. Although there was an Emperor, citizens elected the government. This man may have been a government official. His strength of character is clearly shown.

They also took the time to snap some great shots of some of the dishes and the dining room. Click on the image to read the full review This Harvest restaurant in NuLu features a local menu, regional style Lindsey McClave, Special to Courier Journal Published 6:58 a.m. ET May 29, 2019 Address: 624 E. East Market St. Cuisine: Farm-to-Table Price Range: Expensive The chef’s whites at Harvest may have changed hands over the years but the restaurant’s commitment to sourcing ingredients from local farmers is as genuine as ever. Harvest was founded on the promise that 80% of the items served would come from the plethora of farms within a 100-mile radius of Louisville. A lofty goal to be sure, but Harvest has continually proven that it is an achievable one and when in the hands of the right chef, a goal that reaps delicious rewards for its diners. Little has changed at Harvest since it opened in the NuLu neighborhood in 2011. What better decor for a farm-to-table restaurant than large photos of the farmers the menu celebrates? Diners who frequent Louisville farmers markets will recognize familiar faces among the bunch, including Adam Barr of Barr Farms and Maggie Keith of Foxhollow Farm, just two of the many farmers who have supplied Harvest with meats and vegetables over the years. Reclaimed wood tables speak to the restaurant’s rustic nature and floor-to-ceiling windows at the front give diners a glimpse of the comings and goings of Market Street in the ever-vibrant NuLu district. We took in the view while sipping cocktails during a recent dinner visit. At Harvest, Kentucky’s bourbon and rye are celebrated in its lineup of eight craft creations. The Harvest Old Fashioned ($10) plays by the seasonal rules and features a rotating fruit syrup; the spring variation, available now, is made with local strawberries. The berries were muddled in the glass as well, giving the drink a rosy hue. It bore all of the trappings of a well-executed Old Fashioned with a subtle twist in fruit and is a drink I would look forward to sipping on through the seasons. The Down in Mexico ($12) was equally mixed. This mezcal-based cocktail is served up and balanced just so, elderflower liqueur, lime, and coriander tempering the mezcal’s smokey essence. Like the Harvest Old Fashioned, the charcuterie board ($25) plays with fresh finds from the farm. The meat is house-cured and crafted with great skill. A trio of local cheeses is served at room temperature, allowing the textures and flavors to fully shine. A charcuterie board is only as good as its accompaniments, and Harvest does not disappoint — the pickled blueberries featured a particularly clever touch. It’s these small but mighty touches that set Harvest apart, like the complimentary rolls served with house-made ramp butter, which is whipped to airy perfection. The subtle smoke imparted on the charred broccolini appetizer ($12) is complemented by crushed hazelnuts and creamy ricotta cheese and is yet another example of the attention to detail given to the composition of each dish. This detail extends to the plating, which takes a modern turn. You’ll find striking black plates acting as a dramatic palette for several courses, including the broccolini and the hand-cut linguine ($26) pasta. Presented in a deconstructed format, the pasta is situated at the center with mounds of sauteed kale and a delightfully spicy Marcona dukkah spice and nut crumble flanking either side. Dollops of Fromage blanc and microgreens add only slight levity to the heat, which intensified with every bite. The pasta was cooked to a perfect al dente, however, the same execution was not as exacting when it came to our entree proteins. The lamb porterhouse ($29) arrived under a beautiful mess of fresh herbs and greens, but it was cooked to a medium-well, lacking richness and juiciness. Plenty of small touches like the spiced chickpeas and turnips left whole with their greens ensured the plate was still enjoyable. The same applies to the half fried chicken ($36). The breast portion was tender while the dark meat was on the dry side. The accompanying greens, gravy, and mashed potatoes, though, hit the mark and helped bring the dish along. There was nary an error to be found in the cookery of the chef’s catch ($mkt), which was a generous square cut of halibut on this particular evening. Stunning in presentation and flavor, a brown butter vinaigrette was the ideal complement, as was the creative carrot pain perdu. We wrapped up our evening just as it had begun — with strawberries. A shortcake with plump local berries and a tasty but far too scarce cream was featured in addition to the standard dessert menu, from which we ordered the apple butter meringue ($9), which was well-balanced and full of texture. The attention to detail exhibited by the kitchen extends to the front of house team at Harvest. Our service was attentive, engaging and genuine. In a city where the term farm-to-table is often taken advantage of, Harvest is true to its word and does the farmers of Kentucky and Southern Indiana justice.

How many of you actually read them? Checking that ‘terms and conditions’ box is like a means to an end, we can’t get from step one to step two without checking it. And all too often, we do it blindly, without thinking, without reading, without really agreeing. When we check it for iTunes, or to download an app, we could easily say, ‘What’s the big deal?’ but in our very own lives? Do we check it there, too? Do we blindly agree to the pre-established ‘terms and conditions’ simply as a means to an end? There’s a dubious quality to feeling a call. And if you’ve ever been pulled toward a purpose greater than you, you’re bound to suffer a bit of embarrassment trying to live it out. Any pursuit that involves staying true to yourself forces you to read through the traditional terms and conditions that you’ve checked so many times before. What’s in there that’s left you craving more in life? What have you agreed to in the past that’s gotten you all you thought you should’ve wanted … except the hole inside you? What you end up finding when you finally read through them ultimately forces others to examine their own pursuits, so you must be prepared to defend your new terms. If you dare to set your own terms on life, you risk loss, you risk failure, you risk humiliation … but you earn meaning. Because with every bit of the ‘leaving behind’ you do when it comes to living life on your terms, you’re investing instead in the business of making meaning." "Life is a song - sing it.

I often hear people referring to themselves as "strong" or "assertive" or "confident" or "honest", when in reality, they are actually arrogant, obnoxious, and rude... there is a huge difference. "There's a fine line between confidence and arrogance. This is especially true given both entail a strong belief in one's own abilities. When it comes to the responses they provoke, however, that's where the similarities end. Confidence is inspiring; arrogance is a turn-off. Confidence gets hired; arrogance is shown the door. Building confidence takes work; arrogance is simple.

So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservation, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more damaging to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future. The very basic core of a man's living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun. If you want to get more out of life, you must lose your inclination for monotonous security and adopt a helter-skelter style of life that will at first appear to you to be crazy.

The simple answer - somewhat short version, Christians had long celebrated Sunday as resurrection day, in remembrance of Christ's passion and ascension. Constantine was the Roman Emperor from 306 AD to 337 AD. His mother had adopted Christianity. It is generally accepted that Constantine was a clever opportunist. Christianity's popularity had grown past being able to be suppressed by the Roman Empire. So, Constantine had Christianity legally recognized. He "christianized" common cultural holidays of the time. It was a brilliant political move. The lasting effect on the purity of Christianity is still passionately debated. Constantine continued throughout his lifetime to practice the Roman pagan religion - he worshipped the sun-god "Sol". Constantine was baptized on his deathbed as a Christian, at the request of his mother. "Pagan roots of Easter - Daily Kos The March or spring equinox is used as a determinant for what modern Christians celebrate as the holy day of Easter. As a budding young feminist, I was fascinated with the idea of female symbols of power, and lapped up tales of Eostre (Ostara) along with Aphrodite, Ashtoreth, Demeter, Ishtar, Kali, and Yemaya. The name 'Easter' originated with the names of an ancient Goddess and God. The Venerable Bede, (672-735 CE.) a Christian scholar, first asserted in his book De Ratione Temporum that Easter was named after Eostre (a.k.a. Eastre). She was the Great Mother Goddess of the Saxon people in Northern Europe. Similarly, the 'Teutonic dawn goddess of fertility [was] known variously as Ostare, Ostara, Ostern, Eostra, Eostre, Eostur, Eastra, Eastur, Austron and Ausos.' Her name was derived from the ancient word for spring: 'eastre.' Similar Goddesses were known by other names in ancient cultures around the Mediterranean, and were celebrated in the springtime." -Denise Oliver Velez, Daily Kos: Pagan roots of Easter I wish you Spirit... #goodbye #renewal #holyweek goodbye... rejection... betrayal... reconciliation... renewal... transformation I wish you Spirit “I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright.

__label__cc	0.571976	0.428024	Posts filed under 'Bosnia and Herzegovina' 1943: The officers of the 13th Waffen Mountain Division of the SS Handschar, during the Villefranche-de-Rouergue mutiny Add comment September 17th, 2020 Headsman Inscription: ICI REPOSANT LES COMBATTANTS YOUGOSLAVES QUI TOMBERENT LOIN DE LEUR PATRIE SOUS LES BALS DE L’ENNEMI NAXI A LA SUITE DE L’INSURRECTION DE VILLEFRANCHE DE ROUERGUE DU 17 SEPTEMBRE 1943 The monument pictured above in the southern France commune of Villefranche-de-Rouergue honors a group of Balkan soldiers of the 13th Waffen Mountain Division of the SS Handschar who attempted a bold mutiny on the night of September 16-17, 1943 … which began with the arrest and execution of their German commanders. The mutineers were ethnic Bosniaks recruited and/or conscripted via the Third Reich’s fascist Croatian puppet state. Many were unenthusiastic about their situation, whether due to bigotry from their German officers, rumors of a redeployment to the frightful eastern front, or prior left-wing ideological commitments. Pressed by desperate manpower needs, Berlin could not be so choosy about the political orientations of its cannon-meat. Some like Ferid Dzanic, actually volunteered out of captivity still in a prisoner of war camp. In Dresden, during the summer of 1943, he met Bozo Jelenek (under the pseudonym Eduard Matutinovic) and Nikola Vukelic at the pionir leaders course. Their plans were to “either desert or organize an uprising against the Germans” Another lesser known ring leader was Luftija Dizdarevic. The ambitious plan was to have all of the German officers in the town arrested and executed, disarm all of the remaining Bosnians and Germans, assemble them and depart towards the town of Rodez (1st Regt garrison) with the sympathetic French police and deal with the rest in a similar manner. Further plans called for the liquidation of the entire divisional staff. Dzanic spoke of two options following the success of the mutiny, sailing to Northern Africa and putting themselves at the disposal of the western Allies or crossing the Alps and liberating Croatia. (Source) Shortly after midnight on the big night, the mutineers seized and disarmed German non-commissioned officers, and arrested higher-ranking Germans. Five officers, including SS-Obersturmbannführer Oskar Kirchbaum, were executed within hours, but a deficiency of ruthlessness hamstrung the operation by sparing two men who would be key organizers of the German rally as that morning unfolded: a junior medical officer who was able to talk his way out of their clutches, and the unit’s chaplain-imam* who shammed sympathy long enough to release the NCOs. There was a fearsome firefight through the streets of Villefranche as that bloody Friday unfolded. Soon reinforced from without, the Germans overwhelmingly prevailed; in the week or so that followed some uncertain number of them — thought to range well over 100 — were hunted to ground and killed in no-hope fight-to-the-death shootouts, or captured and executed in their own turn. But not all of the mutineers. A few managed, with the aid of the sympathetic French civilians, to escape the manhunt; one of the mutiny’s leaders, Božo Jelenek, even reached the French Resistance and earned the Croix de Guerre for his service in that cause over the balance of the war. After Allied forces liberated the town, Villefranche named a street the Avenue des Croates — the mutineers being perceived by the French as “Muslim Croats” rather than distinctly Bosnian — and marked the 17th of September for annual commemoration of the “revolt of the Croats”. The postwar Yugoslavian government vainly implored Villefranche to recategorize both street and celebration to the honor of “Yugoslavs”. * After making his way to a company of confused or wavering Bosniak soldiers, Halim Malkoč said, “All of the men looked at me as if they were praying for my help, or hoping that I would protect them. They wanted to hear my word. I stood before them, explained the entire situation, and demanded that they follow me. At this time I took command. I then freed the German men, who were being held in a room. They looked at me with astonished eyes and apparently had little faith in me. I called out to them “Heil Hitler! Long Live the Poglavnik!” and told them that all weapons were to be turned against the communists. They then followed me.” He was executed by the communist Yugoslavian government on March 7, 1947. 1915: Augusto Alfredo Roggen, World War I spy - 2019 1682: Ivan Khovansky - 2018 1524: Caspar Tauber, Protestant protomartyr of Vienna - 2017 1858: Preston Turley, drunkard preacher - 2016 1811: Anna Maria Zwanziger, "once beautiful, exceedingly beautiful" - 2015 1971: Victor Apaza Quispe, Arequipa folk saint - 2014 1814: Vicente Salias, Venezuelan national anthem author - 2013 1895: The Vegetarian perpetrators of the Kucheng Massacre - 2012 1912: Bertram Spencer - 2011 1773: David Reynolds, colonial counterfeiter - 2010 1961: Adnan Menderes - 2009 1938: Nikolai Kondratiev, purged economist - 2008 1940: Tirailleurs Senegalais, for France 1941: Sixteen Yugoslav partisans and one German soldier 1945: Wilhelm Cauer, but not Helmuth Weidling 1945: Massacres of Treuenbrietzen 1942: Six aspiring escapees from Dulag-205 1944: A day in mass executions in Axis Europe 1943: Amos Pampaloni, Captain Corelli’s Mandolin inspiration Entry Filed under: 20th Century,Bosnia and Herzegovina,Croatia,Execution,France,Germany,History,Mass Executions,No Formal Charge,Occupation and Colonialism,Shot,Soldiers,Summary Executions,Wartime Executions,Yugoslavia Tags: 1940s, 1943, september 17, villefranche-de-rouergue, world war ii 1943: Lepa Radic, Yugoslav Partisan Add comment February 8th, 2020 Headsman On this date in 1943, young Yugoslav partisan Lepa Svetozara Radic went to a German gallows. A Bosnian Serb — her village today lies in Bosnia and Herzegovina’s Republika Srpska, steps inside the river that forms its border with Croatia — Lepa Radic was just 15 when Europe’s Axis powers invaded Yugoslavia in April 1941. Her family’s established left-wing affiliations brought them swift arrest by the fascist Ustashe, but Lepa and her sister escaped in December and joined Tito‘s Communist partisans. In early 1943, Nazi Germany mounted a huge offensive against the partisans. On a strategic plane, the offensive failed: the partisans were able to preserve their command structure and fall back, also decisively defeating in the field their nationalist/monarchist rivals, the Chetniks, which set them up to dominate postwar Yugoslavia. But for those upon whom the blow fell, it was a winter of terrible suffering. The Germans claimed 11,915 partisans killed, 2,506 captured … and 616 executed. So it was with Lepa Radic. This Serbian Zoya Kosmodemyanskaya was captured during the engagement trying to defend a clutch of civilians and wounded. They publicly noosed her at Bosanska Krupa after she scorned the opportunity to preserve her life by informing on fellow guerrillas with the badass retort, “my comrades will give their names when they avenge my death.” (Various translations of this parting dagger are on offer online.) After the war, Yugoslavia honored her posthumously with the Order of the People’s Hero. 1723: Charles Weaver, John Levee, Richard Oakey and Matthew Flood - 2019 1804: Ann Hurle, forger - 2018 1943: The five martyrs of the lycee Buffon - 2017 1721: William Spigget, after peine forte et dure - 2016 1527: Georg Wagner - 2015 1844: Hester Foster and William Young Graham - 2014 1804: Little Harpe and Peter Alston, Mississippi pirates - 2013 1942: Icchok Malmed - 2012 1924: The first electrocutions in Texas - 2011 1910: George Reynolds and John Williams - 2010 1924: Gee Jon, debuting the gas chamber - 2009 1587: Mary, Queen of Scots - 2008 1941: Zoya Kosmodemyanskaya 1941: Masha Bruskina, Kiril Trus, and Volodia Shcherbatsevich, partisans 1941: Shura Chekalin, Hero of the Soviet Union 1942: Klava Nazarova, Hero of the Soviet Union 1944: Zinaida Portnova, Komsomol hero 1944: Hannah Szenes, who gambled on what mattered most Entry Filed under: 20th Century,Bosnia and Herzegovina,Capital Punishment,Children,Death Penalty,Execution,Famous Last Words,Germany,Guerrillas,Hanged,History,Martyrs,No Formal Charge,Occupation and Colonialism,Power,Public Executions,Soldiers,Torture,Wartime Executions,Women,Yugoslavia Tags: 1940s, 1943, anti-fascists, bosanska krupa, case white, communists, february 8, lepa radic, partisans, world war ii	cc/2021-04/en_middle_0047.json.gz/line321

Over the years, oil has been the catalyst for which the refineries provide advantaged feedstock, therefore maintaining the competitiveness of the chemical industry. Today, Singapore is the undisputed oil hub in Asia and is one of the world’s top three export refining centres. Moving forward, Singapore is actively exploring opportunities in promoting sustainable growth for the energy industry. The focus has been to kick-start bio-diesel production and to develop next-generation technological capabilities in harnessing renewables. Leveraging its strengths in oil, Singapore is well positioned as the platform in Asia to capitalise on these emerging energy trends. Its geographical advantage, coupled with other competitive advantages including a superior storage infrastructure and presence of first-rate financial institutions, are critical qualities that reinforce Singapore’s leading position in refinery, trading and logistics. In November 2007, the Singapore Government launched the National Energy Policy Report. Titled “Energy for Growth”, the report outlined a holistic national energy policy framework that balances the four policy objectives of economic competitiveness, energy security, environmental sustainability, and industry development. GLOBAL ENERGY HUB THAT CREATES AND DELIVERS REFINING, TRADING AND LOGISTICS SOLUTIONS Singapore is the region’s premier hub for oil & gas – a valuable sector that contributed almost 5% of Singapore’s gross domestic product in 2007. As we continue to strengthen the competitiveness of the energy industry in Singapore, the government is looking to develop innovative logistics solutions to enhance the synergies of refining, trading, and logistics activities to meet global energy demand. The clean energy sector is also an increasingly important area for Singapore as the global market for clean energy technologies stands poised for high-octane growth in the next decade. Singapore’s experience and capabilities in the semiconductor, industrial equipment and chemicals sectors place the country in good stead to capture opportunities in the solar, fuel cells and biofuels markets. GROWING REFINING CAPACITY In moving the energy industry up the next level, Singapore seeks to increase its refining capacity from the current 1.3 million barrels per day. The expansion of existing refineries and optimisation of refinery operations will not only help to maintain Singapore’s share of global refining capacity but more importantly, put the country in good stead to enhance the growth of its oil trading activities by creating the critical volume of export-oriented refining throughput. FUELING INNOVATION Singapore is a strong base in the region for R&D. Within the energy sector, it is fast gaining leadership as an R&D base for alternative fuels and the next generation of biofuels. It is also channelling its R&D capabilities towards developing high-value products such as lubricants. In its efforts to extract more value from refineries, Singapore has achieved headway in key R&D areas such as process optimisation and catalyst development which maximise the use of existing refinery assets. BUILDING ON SOLID INFRASTRUCTURE Singapore offers extensive oil storage facilities on Jurong Island, its integrated energy and chemical hub, to facilitate trade and manufacturing activities. Our storage capacity is set to multiply with the advent of Jurong Rock Cavern, a massive underground facility. By 2010, it will offer 1.47 million cubic metres of space for the storage of crude oil, condensates and naphtha. Singapore is also embarking on its first receiving terminal for liquefied natural gas, in our drive to diversify our energy sources and leverage on the economic spin-off of this increasingly-traded energy resource. Such innovation in infrastructure solutions are crucial in ensuring that the energy industry continues to grow and remain competitive. PROMOTING SUSTAINABILITY To address climate change concerns, Singapore is raising the bar in energy efficiency and accelerating the development of new, sustainable feedstock and technologies for the industry. MANPOWER EDGE Singapore’s success as a leading global energy and chemical hub is, to a large extent, attributed to the quality of its people. As the industry constantly upgrades capabilities to operate state-of-the-art technologies, companies can tap on a highly-skilled workforce capable of managing high-end complex manufacturing and research projects. GROWING SINGAPORE'S POWER MARKET Through the liberalisation of the electricity retail market in Singapore, users have the flexibility to buy electricity from any retailer, and this creates a competitive playing field for the consumers. Furthermore, genco divestment among the power generation companies here has contributed to an increased presence of international players, therefore enhancing the competitiveness of Singapore’s power market. The oil industry accounts for 5 per cent of Singapore’s gross domestic product. Singapore is one of the world’s top three export refining centres, accounting for 68.1 million tonnes of oil exports in 2007 (BP Statistical Review of World Energy June 2008). The oil industry is not a standalone industry. Refining has been the catalyst for the chemical industry, providing advantaged feedstock as well as other spin offs including oil & gas equipment and oil rig manufacturing sectors. Singapore is Asia’s leading oil trading hub. It is also Asia’s oil and oil product pricing centre. It is the leading bulk liquids logistics hub in Asia and ranks amongst the top three in the world. It is the world’s busiest marine bunkering centre, accounting for 31.5 million tons in 2007 (Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore).

It was a little awkward. What will people do if they don't have to work for a living? Hopes&Fears answers questions with the help of experts. Today, we asked economists, media theorists and authors to predict what our lives will look like in a post-labor world. How much paid leave do people get in cities around the world? Hopes&Fears gathered information on the paid leave, whether for vacation, state holidays, illness or parental leave, legally guaranteed to workers in cities around the world. Behind the costumes: Talking with Times Square's 'Hello Kitty', 'Cookie Monster' and 'Mario' Over the course of a few days, we talked to several people working in costume and photographed their daily lives behind the masks. The interviews were conducted in Spanish. Study says, freelancers are people too A new study from the University of Leicester proposes that the happiness of freelance workers -- contractors, copy editors, coaches, designers and, we assume, writers -- depends on a few key factors. US workplaces are getting farther away A new study shows that over the last 15 years, Americans in metro-areas live farther and farther from where they are employed.

It’s really tough on him.” That’s the word to ABC News from a rep for former Saved by the Bell star Dustin Diamond after he was hospitalized in Florida over the weekend. The rep confirms the 44-year-old was taken for tests in an undisclosed Florida hospital, but they won’t know what’s bothering him for “about a week.” “He’s just not doing well right now,” the rep says. “He seriously has something the matter and hopefully it will be able to heal if it’s not too late.” The rep goes on, “He’s getting testing, and when we really know exactly what it is, we’ll let people know. But right now, there’s a lot of things that could be wrong, adding, “We’re hoping for a speedy recovery.” The spokesperson explains, “He’s just trying to keep his spirits up. It’s not an easy thing — it’s a tough journey he’s going to go on right now, so we just want everybody to give him thoughts and prayers.” Diamond, 44, is most famous for playing Samuel “Screech” Powers in four seasons of the flagship Saved by the Bell series as well as spin-offs such as Saved by the Bell: Hawaiian Style, Saved by the Bell: The College Years and Saved by the Bell: The New Class. As previously reported, Diamond didn’t join former cast mates Elizabeth Berkley, Mario Lopez, Mark-Paul Gosselaar, Tiffani Thiessen and Lark Voorhies for the Saved by the Bell revival on Peacock. In a recent episode of the reboot, Lopez’s A.C. Slater explained Screech’s absence by saying he was currently in orbit working on the International Space Station with his robot sidekick, Kevin.

__label__wiki	0.761337	0.761337	info@htreeinfotech.com Custom Web Applications Custom Open Source Development Google AI panel disbands a week after it was formed: Report When it comes to Artificial Intelligence (AI), Google is considered as the leader. It has wooed people with developments in AI and Machine Learning as well as attracted a lot of criticism. With an aim to guide “responsible development of AI”, the company formed a panel at Google, and just a week after the formation, the group is now dissolved, a media report has said. One of the the main reasons for the breaking up of the group is said to be differences in opinions amongst members. Citing Google, Vox reported, “It’s become clear that in the current environment, Advanced Technology External Advisory Council (ATEAC) can’t function as we wanted. So we’re ending the council and going back to the drawing board. We’ll continue to be responsible in our work on the important issues that AI raises, and will find different ways of getting outside opinions on these topics.” Google established the eight-member group to consider some of the most complex challenges that arise under its AI Principles, such as facial recognition and fairness in machine learning. The members were chosen from different professional backgrounds, however, the group fell apart amid controversy over several of the board members. Reportedly, the team held four meetings since its formation. Thousands of Google employees signed a petition in favour of removal of Heritage Foundation president Kay Coles James over her comments about transexual people. In the past, she reportedly called transgender women "biological males". A group known as Googlers Against Transphobia wrote that for Google to appoint James to the ethics board "elevates and endorses her views, implying that hers is a valid perspective worthy of inclusion in its decision making."

Recursos del Caribe, S.A. is a consulting firm specializing in metallic mineral exploration and development. Carl E. Nelson, president, brings decades of exploration and management experience to the company and, since 1987, has worked full time in the Caribbean Region. Carl E. Nelson began his career as an exploration geologist for the Anaconda Copper Company in 1976. When Anaconda was acquired by ARCO, he took a position as a research geologist with Homestake Mining Company where he was responsible for modeling of the McLaughlin deposit and the development of exploration tools for hot spring precious metal deposits. A 1980 visit to the Pueblo Viejo mine began a long association with the Caribbean region’s largest precious metal deposit and with the controversy over its origin. In 1987, Carl won a Fulbright Faculty Research Grant to the University of Costa Rica and there began a full-time focus on the Caribbean Region. In 1988, while living in Costa Rica, Carl founded Recursos del Caribe, S.A. (RdC) to provide a vehicle for his consulting work. After the turn of the millenium, Carl began taking positions in and with junior mining companies. He is a co-founder of Cuprum Resources, Riverside Resources and Atico Mining. He has served as an officer and director of Bellhaven Copper and Gold and Riverside Resources. Carl is the co-discoverer of a number of ore deposits including McLaughlin (California), Hycroft (Nevada), San Andres (Honduras), El Aguila (Mexico), and El Roble (Colombia) as well as several deposits that have yet to go into production. His specialty is the early identification of properties with a real chance to develop into mines. In recent years, Mr. Nelson has served as a mentor to graduate students who are working on topics pertaining to Caribbean geology. He continues to do field work but, increasingly, has focused on the metallogenic evolution of the Caribbean Region.

__label__cc	0.523719	0.476281	Reduce Irritable Bowel Syndrome effects by David Dunaief Queens Ledger May 27, 2020 \| 5061 views \| 0 \| 612 \| \| Dr. David Dunaief is located in Downtown Brooklyn and focuses on the integration of medicine, nutrition, fitness and stress management. According to estimates, 10 to 15 percent of the population suffers from irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) symptoms, although only five to seven percent have been diagnosed. The general perception is that IBS symptoms are somewhat vague. They include cramping, abdominal pain, bloating, constipation and diarrhea. Physicians use the Rome III criteria, an international effort to create scientific data to help diagnose and treat functional gastrointestinal disorders, plus a careful history and physical exam for diagnosis. What epitomizes IBS is the colonoscopy study, where IBS patients who underwent colonoscopy had diagnostic findings of nil. This tended to frustrate patients more, not reduce their worrying, as the study authors had hoped. Rather, it plays into that idea that patients don’t have diagnostic signs, yet their sickness has a profound effect on their quality of life. Socially, it is difficult to admit having IBS. Plus, with a potential psychosomatic component, it leaves patients wondering if it’s “all in their heads.” So, what can be done to improve IBS? There are a number of possibilities to consider. Mental state’s effect The “brain-gut” connection is real. It refers to the direct connection between mental state, such as nervousness or anxiety, to gastrointestinal issues. Mindfulness-based stress reduction was used in a small, but randomized, eight-week clinical trial with IBS. Those in the treatment group showed statistically significant results in decreased severity of symptoms compared to the control group, both immediately and three months post-therapy. Those in the treatment group were instructed to do meditation, gentle yoga and “body scanning” — focusing on the body for muscle tension detection. The control group attended a weekly IBS support group. A preliminary study suggests there might be a link between IBS and migraine and tension-type headaches. The study of 320 participants, 107 with migraine, 107 with IBS, 53 with episodic tension-type headaches (ETTH), and 53 healthy individuals, identified significant occurrence crossover among those with migraine, IBS and ETTH. Does gluten play a role? In a small randomized clinical trial, patients who were given gluten were more likely to complain of uncontrolled symptoms than those who were given a placebo (68 percent vs. 40 percent, respectively). The authors concluded that nonceliac gluten intolerance may exist and that gluten sensitivity may be an important factor. I suggest to my patients that they might want to start avoiding gluten and then add it back into their diets to see the results. In a forward-looking study, IBS patients were tested for fructose intolerance with a breath test. The results were dose-dependent: when patients were given a 10 percent fructose solution, 39 percent tested positive for fructose intolerance, but when they were given a 33 percent solution, 88 percent tested positive. The symptoms of fructose intolerance included flatus, abdominal pain, bloating, belching and alternating bowel habits. Foods with high levels of fructose include certain fruits, like apples and pears, but not bananas. What is the role of lactose? Another small study found that about one-quarter of patients with IBS also have lactose intolerance. Note that is very difficult to differentiate the symptoms of lactose intolerance from IBS. Of the IBS patients who tested as lactose intolerant, there was a marked improvement in symptomatology at both six weeks and five years when placed on a lactose-restrictive diet. Do probiotics help? Treatment with probiotics from a study that reviewed 42 trials shows that there may be a benefit to probiotics, although the trials focused on different endpoints. Probiotics do show promise, including the two most common strains, Lactobacilli and Bifidobacteri, which were covered in the review. All of the above gives IBS patients hope that there are options for treatments that involve modest lifestyle changes. Patients should work with their physicians to choose a path that results in the greatest symptom reduction. Copyright 2021 Queens Ledger. All rights reserved.

Though the words still bite, Barker unnaturally allows the wicked drawing-room story out into airy, sun-warmed climes. Screenwriter Howard Himelstein preserves the spine of the play, in which "infamous and poor" Mrs. Erlynne (Helen Hunt) reduces herself to clandestine meetings with married man Robert Windermere (Mark Umbers), who dutifully issues her checks. Windermere's bride of one year, Meg (Scarlett Johansson), remains none the wiser until playboy Lord Darlington (Stephen Campbell Moore), smitten with Meg, decides to reveal Robert's secret in the hope of winning her. Meanwhile, Tom Wilkinson's Lord Augustus (a.k.a. "Tuppy") is quite taken with Mrs. Erlynne, and though always gentlemanly, he interprets her every turn-down as a "maybe." As one busybody biddy notes of Americans, "They don't shop—they pillage. And they speak loudly." They also taint adaptations of Wilde. There's no avoiding that Hunt is miscast here. By the time she hits her dramatic stride late in the picture, the damage of her stilted delivery has already been done. Though one can argue that beautiful and vapid Johansson is ideally cast as a prissy, dull-witted girl of entitlement, how long will we make excuses for her flatline delivery and an expression that says, "I think someone may have just walloped me with a frying pan. I'll be right with you"? The English actors, then, pull the film's weight. Umbers comes across as a British version of young Christopher Reeve, and Moore briskly negotiates his motivations and witticisms ("I find the best way to keep my word is never to give it"; "Modern marriage thrives on mutual deception"). Wilkinson runs away with the picture, however, with his sympathetic (if anti-Wildean) take on a character usually purveyed as an object of ridicule. Erlynne fears the claustrophobia of marriage, but as played by Wilkinson, Tuppy shrewdly senses his opportunity to strike a happy compromise that will genuinely benefit both parties. Most of A Good Woman depicts a nest of vipers, hissing with gossip, lies, and ruthless self-interest. That the picture is charming in its venality is the mark of Wilde, and surely some credit is due to Barker (in spite of the unnecessary transplant to computer-enhanced Amalfi, justified by a Hunt speech calling it "Land of the Sirens"). Mrs. Erlynne's self-motivated moral salvation allows for a happy ending, but a spring-loaded plot secret and the impassiveness of Hunt's delivery make the character's eventual guilt too little, too late for complete audience investment. Still, as a disposable outing, A Good Woman is good enough. All site content © 2000-2021 Peter Canavese. Page generated at 01/15/2021 02:08:18PM.	cc/2021-04/en_middle_0047.json.gz/line341

It is an always rising international photography competition, one of many only a few that goes over the boundaries” of Web offering to photographers actual visibility through dozens of international picture exhibitions. Professors Laura McPhee, Abelardo Morell, and Stephen Tourlentes are parts of the artists selected to be within the exhibition Ansel Adams in Our Time at Museum of Superb Art. London, UK 14 January 2018 – Photographer Dale M Reid of Canada was Awarded Honorable Mention in Tremendous Art for the successful entry Class Calla Lys Noir 2 at prestigious Monochrome Awards honouring Black & White Pictures. The course introduces curatorial methods used in museums, in addition to photography methods, notable photographers and the history of photography. Paparazzi is a form of photojournalism during which the photographer captures candid photographs of athletes, celebrities, politicians, and different outstanding individuals. The book Urban Artwork Images shows the city landscape of Germany’s capital from a by no means-seen-before angle. The portfolio of images bears witness to the unbelievable faces and decorative tradition of a individuals whose history is being invaded and eroded too rapidly for them to outlive unchanged. The exhibition will showcase works by internationally acknowledged photographers comparable to Gordon Parks, Sally Mann, Arnold Genthe, Imogen Cunningham and Robert Doisneau. As a result of Niépce’s digital camera images required an especially long publicity (a minimum of eight hours and doubtless several days), he sought to drastically improve his bitumen process or substitute it with one which was more practical. Originally, all pictures was monochrome, or black-and-white Even after color film was readily available, black-and-white photography continued to dominate for many years, on account of its lower cost and its “traditional” photographic look. artworkexhibitionimagesturns ⟵Médias, Artwork Et Création Lebanon Protests Expressed By way of Avenue Art⟶	cc/2021-04/en_middle_0047.json.gz/line344

Hence, one of our new columns in Large Women From the Internet will be focused on dealing with body shamers. Activists deal with constant haters, concern trolls, and threats of violence. But after a particularly terrifying threat was sent to Tess Holliday, Natalie Hage, and Whitney Way Thore, the three decided to let the world in on a microcosm of the hate they receive every day. Thore and Hage had to deal with this just before embarking on there…. you guessed it.. NO BODY SHAMING cruise (which our dear friend Sarah Sapora is on, right now!) As Yahoo reports, the same hateful message was allegedly sent to Natalie Hage of @nataliemeansnice, and called out both Tess Holliday and Whitney Way Thore. Among other insults and threats, the sender referred to the activists as “gluttonous sows” who “will not make it to 50.” Ugh! All three shared the photo on Instagram (as did we and our CEO) and decided to keep the sender’s name and handle private (kudos, we wouldn’t have). They did claim that he’s a white male and a nurse, with a young daughter. In her caption, Holliday explains that she receives death threats daily (take a minute and let that sink in.) Usually, she writes, she “block[s] the person and go[es] about [her] day.” She’s become “numb” to the threats and hateful words, she says. But this time, they decided to go to the police, as well as reaching out to the reported offender’s former employer and family members. Holliday drew a line from this type of hate speech to the U.S. climate of violence, especially mass shootings. “These men, who shoot up our schools, places of worship, coffee shops, homes, etc must be stopped. America needs to wake the fuck up,” Holliday wrote. “I don’t feel comfortable sharing his name because I don’t know what he’s capable of,” Hage explained to Yahoo Lifestyle. “I was able to easily find him online, see that he’s been arrested multiple times, and knowing he has a history of issues makes me not want to share because I’m afraid he could find me too.” (Yuck…. okay fair enough Natalie! We got you) Fans in the comment section are imploring Holliday, Hage and Thore to stay safe as well as affirming their decision to go to the police. As one commenter wrote, “Who has time for all that hate in their day? It’s pathetic and wasteful.” PreviousAre Men who Marry Plus women Always happy? Um….

Jobless Laura Cunliffe, 23, put four-month-old Mowgli in the microwave, set the controls for five minutes and left it. Incredibly the cat, which was nearly a year old and Cunliffe had kept from a few weeks old, was still alive when it came out but she died shortly afterwards. Jailing her at Barnsley Magistrates Court, district judge John Foster told her: “The utterly barbaric nature of the act you carried out does demand a deterrent sentence.” The black-and-white pet suffered a slow and painful death 90 minutes later and was buried by a friend, the court heard. Brian Orsborn, prosecuting for the RSPCA said the kitten was in a distressed state when Miss Cunliffe took it out of the oven. She wrapped it in a towel and took it to her step-sister’s house and later said: “It was laid out and proper screeching.” Cunliffe, of Northumberland Avenue, Hoyland, South Yorkshire disclosed what had happened to Mowgli when she visited hospital for a mental health assessment three days later. She admitted causing unnecessary suffering to a protected animal. Mr Orsborn said Cunliffe told a nurse at Barnsley Hospital that the cat had woken her by jumping on the bed. When she went downstairs she found the goldfish in four pieces on the floor. “She was angry at the cat and put it in the microwave,” he said. Realising what she had done was wrong she stopped the oven and the cat was still breathing when she took her to her step-sister’s. The court heard she was “crying and shaking and had the kitten in a towel.” The step-sister said Cunliffe told her she had put the cat in the oven for five minutes then realised what she had done and took it out after a minute. Cunliffe later confessed to a nurse that she had not taken her medication and “the kitten had got hold of the goldfish.” The court heard she had found bits of fish all over the kitchen and said: “I looked at the cat and thought you f**ing bitch.” A vet who examined Mowgli said it would have “suffered immensely” and her death must have been “extremely painful.” Alan Greaves, defending, said Cunliffe was suffering from psychosis and depression and had been sectioned several times under mental health legislation. She described herself as “happy” but became “extremely distressed” at times. She had cared for the cat carrying it around inside her jacket and even took it out to be with her. She had become angry with the cat and it was too late to repair the damage. “It was something done in temper on the spur of the moment,” he said. The district judge said: “This was a shocking and distressing case.” He realised the defendant had difficulties and she had shown remorse but she had made admissions about what she had done. He went on: “I have concluded that you were entirely aware of what you were doing at the time you committed this shocking act.

Let’s dive […] Five Thoughts on Krypton‘s “In Zod We Trust” As Krypton’s Second Season pushes forward, we continue to go into more serious and darker territory.

Reid first explained how the Berlin Wall was constructed overnight without much warning, and even though friends and family were separated, soldiers were ordered to shoot anyone who tried to cross. (snip) Reid concluded, “History has taught us building a wall, whether to keep people out, or to lock them in, can have far reaching, and sometimes devastating consequences, just like that wall bisecting Berlin, which the government of East Germany began building on this day, August 15, 1961.” This is just the beginning.

Clement Pulaski At all times and in all places people have been drawn to leaders who show strength. The Jew-controlled neo-con movement has convinced white conservatives that they need to appear as neutered as possible in order to appear palatable to the masses. Trump has decided to run as an unapologetically strong and aggressive candidate, and the masses love it. With any luck Trump could become an American Putin; not a full blown racial nationalist, but way better than what we’ve been dealing with recently. RichardBird If Trump comes to power he should make it law, their biggest donors must stand on the same stage as their puppets and take policy questions from the public. “Mr Koch, what is puppet Bush’s policy on immigration?” Matt Parrott Sam J. RichardBird,”If Trump comes to power he should make it law, their biggest donors must stand on the same stage as their puppets and take policy questions from the public.” That’s a brilliant idea. I really like it. Kievsky I love how the Donald comes at this from the perspective of one of the donors, and saying, “I know the game from the other side, and that’s the way it works.” This qualifies as a “black swan” event now. Celestial Time “We’re going to keep the families together, but they have to go,” “We will work with them. They have to go. Chuck, we either have a country, or we don’t have a country,” Trump just drove the dagger through the heart of the GOP Vampire. He also simultaneously drew a very clear line of separation between those who, at the very least, could be open to a specific type of identity politics(Racialism + Nationalism) and those who would NEVER support any type of resistance to the Multicultural Machine. Anyone deciding to participate in this election charade and NOT voting for Trump is complete dead weight. It’s not that there’s a guarantee that someone supporting Trump will be receptive to racialists views; it’s the fact that anyone supporting any other candidate instead of Trump will probably never be a friend of ours.

This online update of the story gives even more, um, colorful detail than the print edition: [Birch] was playing the central female character, Lucy Seward, the love interest of Count Dracula. [Director Paul] Alexander said that Ms. Birch was fired because her father, Jack, had threatened another actor during a rehearsal on Thursday night. Mr. Birch, in an interview, denied making any threat. Mr. Birch, formerly an actor in pornographic films... Yes, you read that right. But there's more. Mr. Birch, formerly an actor in pornographic films who is now Ms. Birch’s manager, had attended most rehearsals to provide support and guidance for his daughter. At one point during Thursday’s rehearsal, Mr. Birch confronted an actor who had been working on a scene with Ms. Birch. [...] Mr. Birch asked the actor why he was rubbing Ms. Birch’s back during the scene. The actor – whom none of the sides would name – said that he had been directed to do so as part of the scene. Mr. Birch objected, saying that the back rub was unnecessary, and told the actor to stop. (It is unusual for anyone other than a production’s director to instruct an actor.) Mr. Birch had been a frequent presence at “Dracula” rehearsals. Ms. Birch’s contract had called for her to have a bodyguard, and Mr. Birch said that he was serving that role because “Thora had had some stalking issues in the past.” But he and Ms. Birch also said he had been on hand to offer support and advice to Ms. Birch and confer with her about upcoming projects, including a film that Ms. Birch said her father was co-producing. “My dad is my support, and he is the best support that I could ever have,” Ms. Birch said. I'll refrain from commenting on that eerie sounding daddy-daughter "film" project. Only because you can't make up something funnier than this next bit: At another point during Thursday’s rehearsal, Mr. Alexander said he noticed Mr. Birch peering through a window that was part of a library set while a scene with Ms. Birch was underway. “I couldn’t believe my eyes and turned to a crew member and said, ‘Is that Jack Birch looking through the window at Thora?’ ” Mr. Birch said that he had been backstage at that moment examining “a loose, very wobbly platform that Thora and others had to walk across.” Mr. Birch and Ms. Birch said that he had been her manager for years. Mr. Birch and Ms. Birch’s mother, Carol Connors, were stars in pornographic films in the 1970s. Ms. Connors is best known for “Deep Throat.” Mr. Birch has been on film sets with Ms. Birch before; a gossip column in The New York Post reported in 2007 that he had been present during Ms. Birch’s taping of a sex scene for her movie “The Winter of Frozen Dreams.” Always nice to see the child go into the family business, eh? (And how about that "How I Met Your Mother" story!) And now for the coda... Ms. Birch has been replaced by her understudy, Emily Bridges, whose father is the actor Beau Bridges; Ms. Bridges’s role will be played by Katharine Luckinbill, whose parents are the actors Laurence Luckinbill and Lucie Arnaz. Well I'm sure these parents will behave themselves. After all, what diva-rights do they have. They weren't in Deep Throat! Posted by Garrett Eisler cgeye said... I resent the implied insult to high school theatre, simply due to the good manners and cooperation necessary from students in order for them to participate in an extracurricular activity.

Chetwynd-Hayes), Stuart Whitman (Sam), Richard Johnson (Father), Barbara Kellermann (Angela), Britt Ekland (Mother), Simon Ward (George), Anthony Valentine (Mooney), and Patrick Magee (Innkeeper) DIRECTOR: Roy Ward Baker SCREENPLAY: Edward and Valerie Abraham (based on the book by R. Chetwynd-Hayes) PRODUCER: Milton Subotsky THE MONSTER CLUB A review by THE MOTION PICTURE GUIDE ANNUAL (out of 5) Vincent Price, who had not made a film in five years, made a poor choice in returning in this below-par horror anthology film. Price portrays a vampire who brings horror story writer Carradine to a wacky disco for Transylvanian freaks. The disco is used as a link between the three tales of supposed horror, and Price relates the three stories. In "The Vampire Story" Pleasence is a detective on Scotland Yard's "Vamp Squad," who finally catches up with and kills his nemesis but in the process is transformed into a vampire himself. At least there is some humor and a couple of shocks. The other two segments are devoid of both. In the disco, there are performances by rock groups---Pretty Things and UB40---and a female stripper who takes off everything but her bones. Songs include: "Sucker for Your Love" (performed by B.A. Robertson), "Monster Rule OK," "The Stripper" (performed by The Viewers), "The Monster Club" (performed by Pretty Things), "25 Per Cent" (performed by UB40), "Valentino Had Enough" (performed by The Expressions).

__label__wiki	0.572784	0.572784	Wealth Advisor’s misleading tax scheme advertising The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) has criticised Knight Wolffe, a wealth advisor for misleading income trust advertising. The advertising material even used HMRC’s logo. The criticism was contained in a recently reported Spotlight 40 entitled “Income trust schemes: misleading advertising”. In the report HMRC criticise the Knight Wolffe income trust calling it a tax avoidance scheme. This is because the trust works by diverting income from a business into a trust. The trust would then lend the money back to the business owners and their families. Knight Wolffe claims that this means that no income tax or NIC will need to be paid. HMRC also said that Knight Wolffe should not use their logo or claim that the trust had been “known and accepted by HMRC since 1994”. Knight Wolffe also claimed that the House of Lords approved the trust. Both claims were misleading and implied that both bodies had endorsed the trust. In addition, the adverts did not mention the disguised remuneration scheme or the proposed loan charge. Knight Wolffe did not warn users that they might incur costs if HMRC challenged the arrangement. This could include costs arising from the General Anti Abuse Rule (GAAR). Knight Wolffe claimed that the scheme did not involve tax avoidance, although the entire scheme seemed to be set up for the purposes of tax avoidance. Claims were made that the planning was effective by saying that it used statutory reliefs which was misleading because it implied that payments could be viewed as deductions for tax purposes which would mean that all income was tax-free. nitchadmin2019-06-09T14:09:43+00:00November 1st, 2017\|	cc/2021-04/en_middle_0047.json.gz/line391

Please contact a member of the SMi Team for more information customerservices@smi-online.co.uk SMi is proud to present the 6th annual Maritime Reconnaissance and Surveillance Technology VIRTUAL CONFERENCE. With rapid technological advances changing the way maritime forces need to utilise and manage ISR capabilities across domains, Maritime and Littoral Reconnaissance and Surveillance systems and platforms have become a critical component of naval capability. As the only Maritime ISR event with a specific focus on Space-Based Domain Awareness, Maritime Reconnaissance and Surveillance Technology 2021 follows five very successful predecessors. With the previous events taking place in Rome, the event has brought forward a discussion on the growing need for more comprehensive and sophisticated Joint Maritime ISR capabilities in the Mediterranean and beyond, particularly following the Migrant Crisis that still remains. This year, with the geographical shift comes a subtle strategic one, providing a renewed focus on some of the strategic threats and technological challenges facing naval and joint forces from across the world. The conference retains an increased focus on space based maritime reconnaissance and the relation between the Littoral and Maritime Domains and ISR capabilities that occur here. The aim is to assist the advancement and engagement of Naval practitioners and Programme Managers through briefings, panel sessions and focused discussion groups on topics including Unmanned ISR platforms, Space-based Maritime Reconnaissance, Fleet Air Arm ISR capabilities, Sensors at Sea and more. Platforms and topics discussed include: Space based ISR, Airborne Platforms & Operations, C4ISTAR, Unmanned Maritime Systems, Hydrographic platforms and many more..

HUGHES TO MY READERS: HOW TO USE THE BLOG Thursday, September 27, 2018, 03:17 PM University of North Texas Press announces the August 2018 publication of Ben Thompson: Portrait of a Gunfigher by Thomas C. Bicknell and Chuck Parsons. Ben Thompson was a remarkable man, and few Texans can claim to have crowded more excitement, danger,drama, and tragedy into their lives than he did. He was an Indian fighter, Texas Ranger, Confederate cavalryman, mercenary for a foreign emperor, hired gun for a railroad, an elected lawman, professional gambler, and the victor of numerous gunfights. As a leading member of the Wild West’s sporting element, Ben Thompson spent most of his life moving in the unsavory underbelly of the West: saloons, dance-houses,billiard halls, bordellos, and gambling dens. During these travels many of the Wild West’s most famous icons—Wyatt Earp, Doc Holliday, Bat Masterson, Wild Bill Hickok, John Wesley Hardin, John Ringo, and Buffalo Bill Cody—became acquainted with Ben Thompson. Some of these men called him a friend; others considered him a deadly enemy. In life and in death no one ever doubted Ben Thompson’s courage; one Texas newspaperman asserted he was “perfectly fearless, a perfect lion in nature when aroused.” This willingness to trust his life to his expertise with a pistol placed Thompson prominently among the western frontier’s most flamboyant breed of men: gunfighters. Thomas C. Bickwell, a native Chicagoan, has been studying the life of Ben Thompson for decades. His research and articles have appeared in various periodicals including True West and Wild West. Chuck Parsons is the author of Captain John R. Hughes and The Sutton-Taylor Feud and coauthor of A Lawless Breed, a biography of John Wesley Hardin. He lives in Luling, Texas. 978-1-57441-730-2 cloth $34.95 978-1-57441-741-8 ebook 6x9. 688 pp. 47 b&w illus. 3 maps. Notes. Bib. Index. Texas History. Western History. Biography.

Shock! Pop! (1) Links Worth Checking (1) Movie News (260) Theatrical (11) Thor - Live At Dante's, Portland, Oregon, September 14, 2007. Ian Jane Hey, remember concerts? Concerts were fun. Covid-19 has kind of completely fucked concerts for the time being, who knows when we’ll get to enjoy live music again, so with that in mind, why not relive past glories through pictures of concerts from days past? Let’s do it! A long, long time ago in a galaxy far, far away known as Portland, Oregon, one Jon Mikl Thor – or just plain old Thor to the masses – played a show at Dante’s, a club on West Burnside in the downtown area famous for overpriced drinks and overpacked shows. This would have been around the time that the Into The Noise album came out. It was also one Ian Miller’s birthday, so it was a big night all around and many beers were consumed during the pre-game session at a local pizza joint. Upon arrival, the show was started by a band called…. I dunno. I don’t remember what they were called, but I do remember that they were dressed in medieval garb, that they played pretty ... David Lynch - Squeaky Flies In The Mud Running from November 1st, 2019 through December 21st, 2019 at the Sperone Westwater Gallery in Lower Manhattan is Squeaky Flies In The Mud, an exhibition of artwork created by none other than David Lynch. It’s a strange selection of material, as you’d expect if you’re familiar with his work, but fascinating to see and an interesting compliment to the film’s that he’s made. The press release from the gallery reads as follows: “Sperone Westwater is pleased to present ... Rock! Shock! Pop! Visits The Archive In Bridgeport, CT Places, Writing an article about a store visit isn’t something that we normally do around these here parts, but once in a while there is a reason to make an exception. Case in point? The guys that run Vinegar Syndrome have opened up a brick and mortar retail store called The Archive in Bridgeport, CT. Why does that matter to readers of this site? Because in an age where online sales seem to be killing ... Rock! Shock! Pop! At Five Points Fest - New York City, NY May 20th & 21st 2017 The first, of what will hopefully be a recurring Five Points Festival kicked off yesterday at Pier 36 on the Lower East Side riverfront of New York City. The two day festival, curated by Clutter Magazine and presented Midtown Comics, “is a collision of toys, comics, and counterculture.” Unlike a regular comic or toy convention, Five Points focuses the more artisanal aspect of the toy and comic industry. As such, most of the attendees had a connection to indy or small press comics (though there were a few mainstreamers around too) and to the ‘designer toy’ industry. Not only did this smaller scaled convention give fans a chance to interact with toy creators, artists, writers but it also gave them a chance to look for some exclusives, get items signed by comic and toy professionals, check out some amazing original art on display and peruse back issue vendors. On top of that, the outdoor area of the convention featured a half dozen food trucks and a selection of craft beers available for attendees over twenty-one. Hey, convention going ... R!S!P! At NYCC 2016 – Comics! Despite all the cosplay, movie stars, TV stars, toys, video games and other assorted stuff, comic books are what started all of this and comic books remain, for some of us at least, the most important part of an event like NYCC. As such, we’ve saved the best for last. All the big publishers are, as per the norm, setup in the main hall. Marvel had a lot going on this year, like they always do, promoting Black Panther and Doctor Strange in a big way this year. Also in the main hall? Dark Horse, Dynamite, Oni, IDW, Image, 2000 A.D., and Archie! There was a lot of great stuff going on at the Archie booth, including a signing for the Archie Meets Ramones comic that came out a few weeks ago, complete with the requisite NYCC variant cover on sale! Alex Ross had a booth set up too, selling prints and other expensive but awesome paintings. R!S!P! At NYCC 2016 – Toys! Everyone likes toys, right? Another big part of what makes NYCC such a rad event to go to are, yeah, the toys! While there are some dealers who peddle vintage stuff but a large part of the focus is on ‘the new stuff’ and the ‘stuff you want but can’t buy yet.’ There was a lot of that this year, probably more than last year, with big players like Sideshow, NECA and Previews Select displaying some really impressive sculpts, prototypes and finished products. And of course, there were plenty of show exclusives on hand, often requiring the more dedicated collectors out there to stand in some pretty long lines for a shot at getting their hands on some of the more limited runs for sale. The photo gallery below shows off some of the coolest pieces we saw over the span of the show, with a focus, maybe not so surprisingly, on movie related properties. Dig ... R!S!P! At NYCC 2016 - Cosplay At New York Comic Con Today we take a look at the cosplay element of the 2016 edition of the New York City Comic Con. Love it or hate it, cosplay has become a HUGE part of what makes conventions like this so popular and it has managed to draw in a whole new crowd of convention goers who attend to show off their work and admire that of others. This year, you couldn’t move without bumping into a Deadpool or a Harley Quinn (man oh man there were a LOT of Harley Quinn’s this year). Rick And Morty and Ash were also popular as were traditional standbys like Batman and the Punisher. And the conventions, NYCC in particular, encourage this. Given that some of the costumes ... R!S!P! At NYCC 2016 – Walking The Show First you have to get there. The trains get more and more crowded the closer you get to the Javitz Center and once you get in, no matter how many times you attend, it’s instantly overwhelming. And then there’s Wonder Woman – everywhere! With the movie coming out soon, DC has the hype machine moving full steam ahead. Not only where there an awesome tribute booth set up on the main floor showing off some great original art (including an awesome piece from the late Darwyn Cooke) from throughout the decades as well as some props for the film, but near the main entrance by the DC Comics booth, there were a bunch of costumes on display. Most of these were from the new movie, but hey, check out the old Lynda Carter duds from the TV show – she was even represented in Jelly Bean form! Also impressive was the PCS Toys booth. These aren’t really toys per se in that ... Ash Vs. The Evil Dead At NYCC 2015 Ok, so at the New York Comic Con this weekend, Staz had a big promotional thing going on to hype the debut of Ash Verus The Evil Dead later this month. It was kind of neat the way they did it - they setup a life size replica of 'Ash's Trailer' outside on the inner road way. Basically you got to stand in line for the chance to wander through.... a trailer. But it was still fun. Some pictures from that. NYCC 2015 Part Four - Comics! Let’s start in the main hall – here’s where most of the bigger publishers setup shop – they’ll sell you exclusives and hold signings and sometimes Q&A sessions too. There are also a bunch of comic vendors selling back issues, variants, supplies and more. Check out the displays from Valiant, Dark Horse, IDW, Archie, Oni and Avatar (selling CGC graded perfect ‘10’ copies of some of their own books?)… …along with booths for Image, Titan and Dynamite. J. Scott Campbell even sets up his own booth at the con! The vendors are always interesting to see – a lot of the same guys and gals exhibit here every year but there are sometimes some new ones too. Original artwork, vintage comics from ... NYCC 2015 Part Three - Toys! Another big part of what makes NYCC such a rad event to go to? Toys! Yeah, there are some dealers who peddle vintage stuff but a large part of the focus is on ‘the new stuff’ and the ‘stuff you want but can’t buy yet.’ There was a lot of that this year, probably more than last year, with big players like Sideshow and Previews Select displaying some really impressive sculpts, prototypes and finished products. And of course, there were plenty of show exclusives on hand, often requiring the more dedicated collectors out there to stand in some pretty long lines for a shot at getting their hands on some of the more limited runs for sale. Not surprisingly, most of what you’ll see on display is licensed stuff – seen below are a prototype for a pretty neat Link figure and some absolutely jaw droppingly detailed Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle figures alongside some anime and video game pieces. Back in The Block area, you’ll find some weird stuff along with some ‘bad girl’ figures like Shi and Lady Death, a King Zombie Deadworld figure, a huge American Werewolf In London piece and even a nice Caroline Munroe figure! Moving right along, dig this complete set of Sailor Moon character figures, a giant monster thing and some Frazetta-inspired ... NYCC 2015 Part Two - Cosplay-A-Go-Go! Following yesterday’s gallery of the show, today we take a look at the cosplay element of the 2015 edition of the New York City Comic Con. Love it or hate it, cosplay has become a HUGE part of what makes conventions like this so popular and it has managed to draw in a whole new crowd of convention goers who attend to show off their work and admire that of others. And the conventions, NYCC in particular, encourage this. Given that some of the costumes can and do get a little risqué, the people at ReedPOP (the company that organizes the convention) have rightfully instituted a zero tolerance policy in regards to harassment ... NYCC 2015 Part One - Walking The Floor Show Last week New York City once again played host to the biggest pop culture gathering on the East Coast if not the entire country. From Thursday through Sunday fans of movies, TV, gaming, toy collecting, anime, movies and yes, comic books, gathered en masse to celebrate geek culture in all its many forms. R!S!P! was there and over the next few days we’ll be posting a few different Comic Con galleries – this one is the first, and it’s basically a look at the size and scope of the show, the different vendors and displays that were set up across the entirety of the massive Jacob Javitz Convention Center and just a general overview of what goes on at NYCC and in turn, why it is such an insanely popular event. Before the show itself opened, you could clearly see from inside the hall just how many people were waiting (with admirable patience and good cheer) to get inside once the doors opened at 10am. Kind of reminds you of something out of Dawn Of The Dead… Moving around the venue, the main entrance was done up like the gates ... R!S!P! At Special Edition NYC 2015 This weekend saw the second installment of ReedPOP’s Special Edition NYC. For those not in the know, this is basically a comic show getting back to its roots. If the massive New York City Comic Convention is the new norm, you can think of SENYC as that con’s younger, more innocent brother as of yet not corrupted by movie star appearances, Walking Dead cast panels or video game announcements. No, SENYC is a comic book convention in the truest sense of the word, the kind you used to go to back in the eighties and nineties, a pre Big Bang Theory universe. The kind you go to…. gasp… for comic books. Now to be fair, the show this year, held at Pier 94 and not at the Javitz Center as it was in 2014, was bigger. There were a few toy vendors set up and a clothing vendor selling themed socks for some reason. But ... Rock! Shock! Pop! At The New York City Comic Con - Part Four- Hey Kids! Comics! So we did the floor walk, we covered the toys and we posted a bunch of pictures of cosplayers – but what about the comic book presence at NYCC 2014? Shouldn’t that be what it’s all about? Well, it’s easy sometimes for the ‘heart’ of the event to get overshadowed by celebrity appearances, video games, cosplayers and everything else that goes on at a show as big as this one (and for the record, NYCC eclipsed San Diego for the first time, officially making this the biggest con in the country) but yeah, comics are still going strong. Living legend Neal Adams had a pretty huge booth set up in the main hall area, selling prints and books and commissioned sketches and photos… …while the Kirby Museum was set up nearby, showing off a few original art pieces penciled for Marvel by the King himself during their Silver Age reign of terror. Marvel was nearby and not surprisingly, they probably had the biggest presence, at least on the main floor, of any of the publishers in attendance. A lot of what was going on at their booth was related ... Rock! Shock! Pop! At The New York City Comic Con - Part Three - Cosplay-A-Go-Go! Love it or hate it, cosplay has exploded at conventions over the last few years and it’s now just as much a reason for some people to attend as the vendors and guests are. In fact, there are even ‘celebrity cosplayers’ showing up at cons these days, putting in special appearances and doing booth signings. So yeah, even if you don’t want to dress up for the day, you can’t ignore the fact that a whole lot of people do. High fives to Reed Pop for creating a safe and friendly environment for anyone and everyone to do their thing and have fun. Here’s a few shots that show off the variety of costumes that were making the rounds at NYCC 2014. ... Rock! Shock! Pop! At The New York City Comic Con - Part Two - TOY TOUR! Following up on yesterday’s post in which we basically just walked the floor, this second installment of our four part coverage of the 2014 New York Comic Con is going to focus on one thing and one thing only… TOYS! And hot damn are there a lot of them at the show this year, some of which are being shown for the first time, some of which are show exclusives and some of which are still being worked on. As you’ll see as you scroll through, there are toys of all kinds – licensed properties, original properties, new, vintage, some meant for kids and some for adult collectors. It’s all here. So let’s get to it… Starting from The Block entrance, here we find some of the more esoteric ‘boutique’ toy makers. Are you in the market for some stuffed organs? That plush blue testicle you’ve always wanted is now ready for you to take him home! NYC shop Toy Tokyo had their booth set up along the back wall, it was packed all weekend. Plenty of other oddball vendors and distributors were set up here too… Spanish toy maker SD Toys had a booth set up displaying some of their licensed stuff, like this ridiculously realistic looking Stan Lee figure! They were also showing off Bettie Page and Blues Brothers figures alongside Steve McQueen, Charlie Chaplin and Marlon Brando from The Godfather! Heading into the main hall from the back, there were some vintage toy vendors set up, offering up everything ... Rock! Shock! Pop! At The New York City Comic Con - Part One - Walking The Floor It’s October in New York City again and for thousands upon thousands of pop culture junkies, comic book fans, gamers, toy freaks, cosplayers and movie addicts that means one thing – New York City Comic Con. The annual event, put on by the folks at Reed Pop, is by far the biggest event of its kind on the East Coast and the second biggest convention of its kind in the country. Once again held at (and completely filling) the massive Jacob Javitz Convention Center in Manhattan, the even began Thursday, October 9th, and it continues through tomorrow, October 12th. Below is the first of four photo galleries highlighting some of the events, dealers, guests and ‘everything else’ that makes this convention worth going to time and time again. Yes, it’s hectic. Yes, there are long lines and ridiculous crowds and YES, someone will inevitably step on your foot every five minutes, but New Yorkers are used to that. More important than that is that the convention, just like last year, remains a positive, friendly and inspiring experience for scores of attendees. Reed Pop does a very good job with crowd control and with keeping things organized and running smoothly and for a convention as big as this one is, NYCC runs pretty damn smoothly. But enough about that, let’s get down to it. Upon entering the main convention hall, if you look to your left you can’t help but notice the MASSIVE Batman logo hanging over top of the suit display that DC Comics was sponsoring. More on that in a bit but here’s the hanging logo… …and then when you turn to the other ... Rock! Shock! Pop! Visits The New York City Comic Con 2013 A few days ago, just over this past weekend as a matter of fact, pop culture blew a massive load across New York City for the four day New York Comic Con which took place in Manhattan at the Javitz Center from October 10th through the 13th. While these days, big comic conventions like this one and the annual San Diego event focus as much (sometimes more) on movies, toys, television shows and other things that aren’t printed and bound, there was still plenty of four color action to go around. Panels and discussions were held celebrating everything from cartoons like The Venture Brothers and Bob’s Burgers to the 25th Anniversary of Chucky but so too were there panels on self-publishing, digital comics and the advent of social media. Of course, heavy hitters like Batman and The X-Men got their own forums as well. The show was sold out long in advance this year, which meant that once you stood in line outside to get in you got to stand in line some more to do… well, pretty much anything. But that’s part and parcel with an event like this, it just comes with the territory. Thankfully the staff was generally both polite and helpful and with information booths set up all over the place, it was reasonably easy to find what you wanted to find without too much trouble.

Now it’s about singing and their faith. “Here’s the deal: everybody is trying to accomplish something when they’re singing a song,” he said. “Whether you’re singing that she thinks your tractor is sexy or ‘Amazing Grace,’ you’re saying something.” “They just want to entertain,” he says of some bands. “They want you to sing along with them and then go home drunk and happy.” “We sing about things that have given us joy and set us free, that have freed us from pride, guilt and shame. How could you not want that for other people?” Check out the full interview HERE The next show is in Charlotte on Sunday. Next week Jamtour heads to Alabama, Florida and Tennessee for four shows.

A special prosecutor will be called in on the case to remove an Albemarle County supervisor from power. In January, Chris Dumler pleaded guilty to misdemeanor sexual battery. Under Virginia law, members of a board of supervisors who are convicted of a misdemeanor crime don't necessarily have to step down. Despite a wave of calls for his resignation, Dumler says he will not resign. A petition to remove Dumler from office has been filed in circuit court. It alleges questionable behavior following the supervisor's conviction. Lynchburg's commonwealth's attorney will represent those behind the petition. The order has been filed to bring in a special prosecutor since Albemarle County's commonwealth's attorney has an obvious conflict of interest in the case. Earl Smith organized the petition following Dumler's guilty plea. He needed to collect 372 signatures, which is 10 percent of the number of voters in the election for Dumler's seat. He finished with 584 signatures. "I am sad for that one selfish person because they lack the moral fiber needed to fulfill the promises to the people and regain what was lost due to their selfish actions," said Smith. Smith delivered the signed petition to the clerk's office Tuesday morning, in order for the judge to verify the signatures. Dumler has been served with the petition and is scheduled to appear in court on April 2 to tell the judge why he should not be removed from office. Dumler refuses to step down, saying his personal life has not affected his job performance as an elected official Wednesday night at the Board of Supervisors meeting, NBC29 did ask Dumler if he had any response to the petition. He said he was waiting to get an attorney before saying anything publicly. Common Core Curriculum - Eye-Trackers, Wrist Bands, Posture Seats, Mood Meter? A Close Look at the Tech Proposed to Track Your Kids in Schools - As part of the government’s initiative to institute Common Core standards for education, so comes a system that would mine information about students to establish best practices for effective teaching. But some think the technology that would conduct the mining crosses a line. Glenn Beck spoke of the “indoctrination” of the Common Core and data mining that goes along with it on his Wednesday evening show on TheBlaze TV. A look into the technology that would mine this personal information — like MRI scans and other sensors — and how it might be used has him and others concerned.In the draft “Promoting Grit, Tenacity, and Perseverance: Critical Factors for Success in the 21st Century” report released in February by the Department of Education is a section detailing how to measure such qualities in a student through Behavioral Task Performance. “Behavioral task performance measures are the broad set of methods used to capture behaviors consistent with perseverance or lack thereof—and in many cases, associated emotional experiences, physical movements or facial expressions, physiological responses, and thoughts— that students do in response to a particular challenge,” the report states. It goes on to say that laboratory experiments have long been useful in gaining information about behavioral task performance, but “new technological opportunities offer potential for new methods and approaches.” Read more........

DIRECT LINK: SENATE CONTACT INFORMATION..... 7 Questions and Answers: The Supreme Court and Gay Marriage - Baptist Press - What issues were the justices deciding? The constitutionality of two laws: the federal Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) and California's Proposition 8. Passed and signed into law in 1996, DOMA has two main sections: 1) It gives states the option of not recognizing gay marriages from other states and 2) it defines marriage for federal purposes and federal benefits as being between a man and a woman. Only the second section of DOMA was in front of the court. But even though the court did not deal with the DOMA section that affirms states' rights, it nevertheless could get to that issue with the Prop 8 case. Prop 8 is a constitutional amendment, adopted by California voters in 2008, that defines marriage as between a man and a woman. California is one of 30 states that define marriage within the state constitution in the traditional sense. Another 11 states define it that way via statute. Nine states recognize gay marriage.
