CIUDAD JARDIN EBENEZER HOWARD PDF
The garden city would be self-sufficient and when it reached full population, another garden city would be developed nearby. Howard envisaged a cluster of several garden cities as satellites of a central city of 58, people, linked by road and rail. This success provided him the support necessary to pursue the chance to bring his vision into reality. Howard believed that all people agreed the overcrowding and deterioration of cities was one of the troubling issues of their time. He quotes a number of respected thinkers and their disdain of cities.

Sak The numerous publications that are mentioned throughout the references and in the bibliography, are supplemented by the archival sources available at the Tugwell Room located at the Greenbelt Public Library.
This can be verified through the superposition of both maps as shown below: Nevertheless, there are many publications that are able to help understand the historic and political driving forces behind the real-estate operation of El Palomar. It is not pleasure land; it is an agricultural occupation. We do so by critically discussing some of the limits of One of the first aspects to differentiate the American suburban marked tendency that followed the First War from the driving forces behind the British endeavor, is that this trend was eminently an upper-middle-class movement.
It is good to remember that this was an entirely private endeavor oriented to full homeownership and, essentially, a business venture.
Regarding these official endeavors contemporary to El Palomar, see the entry developed by Jorge F. Garden city movement — Wikipedia There are clear distinctions to be made between the two case studies chosen for this work regarding the forces driving their implementation. The following chapter deals with the early abandonment—and a partial neglect by scholars—of the strength of the socialist component embedded in the Garden City ideal.
From the focal point generated by the park, two radial diagonal avenues give shape ebeneezr the whole utopian-like scheme, while at the same time establishing a connection to the second train station.

Therefore, with the main focus of Garden Cities of To-morrow set in the practicality of the model, it is ebbenezer to say that Noward did not have great theoretical ambitions.
In the case of Letchworth, for example, through the design and materialization of Homesgarth—the communal cooperative housing— specific buildings were produced as vehicles to express the ideals embedded in the proposed urban model. Ebenezer Howard Garner, John, The Company Town: Manchester, University Press, This issue becomes evident not only in most of the literature that the analysis of this urban planning model has produced throughout the years, but also in its countless materializations all across the globe.

OTT/CTV, Videos
What is OTT, CTV, vMVPD and all the rest of those new digital video terms?
With the rapid changes in digital video it’s hard to keep up with all the new terms for how video content and ads are delivered to consumers. As you are probably aware video ads are considered to be one of the premiere ways to reach consumers. Videos will represent 82% of the web traffic by 2021, and 64% of users are more likely to buy a product online after watching a video.
Watching video (and seeing video ads) is a staple of browsing on our phones, tablets and computers, but now there is a whole new world of video advertising including ads embedded in shows, being streamed (viewed) through an internet connected T.V.
“Advanced TV” is the general label being used for these new technologies but there are a lot of different products that fall under that term. Here is a glossary of the most common terms and most commonly accepted explanations of them!
OTT: “Over The Top” This is an umbrella term for video programming transmitted via the Internet that bypasses traditional cable or broadcast (linear) distribution. It can be consumed on any device including computers, mobile devices, TVs, and gaming systems. Click here to read the IAB’s take on OTT.
CTV: “Connected TV” This is a type of OTT and refers to consuming video programming through TV sets that are connected to the Internet through built in technology (Smart TVs) or through devices connected to the TV such as Apple TV, Chromecast, Amazon Fire, and gaming consoles.
OTA: “Over The Air” This is broadcast TV also called “linear TV” or “traditional TV”. It’s content that is delivered without using satellite transmission or cable.
SVOD: “Subscription Video on Demand” Video content that requires access to a subscription video on demand service. Examples include Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime.
vMVPD: “Virtual Multichannel Video Programming Distributor” These are distributors that aggregate live and on-demand television but deliver the content over the internet. Examples include Sling, DIRECTV NOW, PlayStation™ Vue, YouTube Live, Hulu Live, fuboTV, Roku, Apple TV, and Amazon Fire TV.
Skinny Bundles: A skinny bundle is what is offered by a Virtual Provider (vMVPDs) and is a small selected amount of channels (usually well under 100 channels) available to consumers to purchase at a reduced price vs. what they pay for traditional cable TV. These bundles are aimed at being cheaper than a cable package and also an alternative to purchasing individual over-the-top (OTT) apps directly from each video content provider. Examples of companies offering Skinny Bundles are Sling TV, PlayStation Vue, and DIRECTV NOW.
ATV: “Addressable TV” The ability to serve different ad content to different audience segments watching the same TV program on IP connected TVs and set top boxes of cable companies or satellite providers, by dynamically inserting an ad based on specific audience targeting in either live, playback, or Video On Demand mode. Examples would include offerings by Comcast, DIRECTV, and Dish. (Addressable TV got the go-ahead from the FCC for local TV stations. See “Next Gen TV” and “ATSC 3.0” below.
Smart TV: A television set that is capable and enabled to access the internet.
Internet Connected Device: Devices connected to the TV that are used to stream content such as Apple TV, Roku, Google Chromecast, Amazon Fire TV, gaming systems, smartphone, computer, laptops, etc.
Linear Platforms: Refers to video content that is real-time television service that broadcasts scheduled programs, over the air or through satellite or cable, not streamed to a specific user.
Next Gen TV: Sometimes referred to as Addressable TV for local stations. More formally known as the ATSC 3.0 standard, was approved by the Federal Communications Commission, enabling the broadcasting of high-quality content over the air using an internet protocol (IP) signal. This could enable local TV stations to provide targeting options to advertisers similar to digital targeting options.
ATSC 3.0: “Advanced Television Systems Committee”. This is the next version of the broadcast standard for how local TV channels are distributed without needing to have a cable or satellite subscription. ATSC 3.0 is supposed to make it so that you could get these channels not only on a regular TV screen but on your phone, laptop, tablet. Through ATSC 3.0, local TV will be able to air through devices that have this chip inside without having to go through your wireless signal. ATSC 3.0 would enable local TV stations to track what you’re watching and then target ads to you.
Outstream Video: Sometimes referred to as Native Video ads. Outstream video is sometimes also referred to as native video. It is a digital video advertising ad unit that’s integrated within a page and autoplays once the user scrolls near it. Then, the video auto-pauses if the user begins to scroll away from it before it’s complete. According to eMarketer, 77% of ad agencies across the world see Outstream video ads as important to their clients going forward.
Pre-Roll Ads: These are video ads that play before the content you want to consume plays. Typically these are ads that you have to watch (or at least part of them) in order to get to the content you’ve clicked on to watch.
Mid-Roll Ads: These are video ads that run during the content you have clicked on to watch. In exchange for viewing the free content you have to watch the ad.
At Bay Area Digital Solutions we already offer some of these types of video advertising placements and are adding to our lineup with more OTT & CTV options. If you are interested in finding out more about video advertising please contact us.

Vintage Bicycles Styles : Determining Bicycle Age Tips
Phillips Cycles Ltd. Its history began early in the 20th century and ended in the s by which time it had become part of Raleigh Industries , itself a part of the Tube Investments group. For a number of years, the company was the second-largest bicycle producer in Britain, after Raleigh. The company motto, which was carried on all its badges, was “Renowned the World Over”. The “Phillips” brand is still used around the world, especially in China and the Far East, having been licensed by Raleigh. In India it was produced from Madras presently called Chennai. The company produced millions of bicycles, many of which were exported, and also manufactured several mopeds.
The bicycle industry, centered in the enormous Raleigh factory in Nottingham, was one of the most important in the country. The workers who built these bicycles rode the same kind of bicycles to work. My Superbe Roadster. Roadsters have never been truly popular in the United States, but they are not truly rare, either.

Dedicated to Pat, who sadly left us while we were away researching for this article. Drawn by no more than an old photograph that was presented in the November edition of The Raligram trade magazine, Volume 2, Number 6—we have a 50 year old mystery! Among the bikes on display, this picture showed what appears to be a Phillips Gadabout P 50 with three-speed Rex engine. A casual glance at the image might arouse little attention from anyone unfamiliar with the Gadabout models, but this bike is like no other ever seen or previously known by anyone in Britain, since it features a sprung frame with swing-arm rear suspension, while the production P 50 Gadabout had a rigid frame!
In July , the original two-speed Rex engine in the P 39 was succeeded by a two-speed Villiers 3K motor, and introduced as the new P 45 model. For a number of years it had been believed the picture in The Raligram illustrated a prototype model that was taken to show at Wellington in New Zealand, ahead of presentation at the expected Earls Court Show in November As it happened, there was no motor cycle show at Earls Court in , and neither was there any Springer Gadabout announced.
What became of the machine, no one knew.

This was my first adult bike – it had been given to me by my uncle Ray – and was probably around four or five years old at that time but in good condition, and I well remember lovingly polishing it on the back yard of our terraced house.
I am gradually restoring the machine, and in surfing the net for information and spares, I have been struck by the high esteem with which the vintage models of the Phillips make are regarded.

Her creativity is awesome and because of it a few unexpected adventures came on her path. That NZ was definitely the most challenging thing I have ever done, and what a feeling when I actually completed it with just a few hours to spare! Building a rocket, heart surgery, underwater hockey — bring it on. That said, the Africa cycle tour was the adventure that really changed my life — I went from being quite an ambitious but very insecure year-old to being a much more self-assured sort of person with a lot of faith in people and the world.
Pretty much! I loved cycling as a sport and travelling, but had never even heard of cycle-touring until shortly before that trip. I often say that adventure is an attitude, and every day I learn that a little bit more. I wish I could say that I did, but actually my parents were going to go cycle-touring just the two of them and my sister and I had to convince them to invite us along! Lots and lots and lots of rough days on adventures.
And in Wales — a week of pretty much nonstop rain, putting up a wet tent every night, crawling into a wet sleeping bag, the lovely smell of damp just everywhere. And Africa — Malaria, heatstroke, elephants. Cycling through the elephant zones were probably the toughest out of all of those, because we had a really scary encounter with an elephant and after that I developed such a bad phobia that I would hyperventilate for literally the whole day of riding through the wildlife parks.
Uncertainty is pretty much my default state of being. With most things — in life and adventure — I just close my eyes and hope that I make it out alive.
After a false start in which several riders went down, the race proceeded without a mis hap, Phillips finishing the 40 laps in 23 minutes Simes, who has won every national championship event from midget to senior, turned professional last year and is now racing in Europe. He won the midget championship ages 8 to 12 in , and was twice best all round rider. Strategy was the key to the men’s match race final as the riders stopped for several min utes in a battle of nerves, thighs bulging as they tensely bal anced their bikes in an attempt to force the other rider to take, the lead, and the additional burden of cutting through the air.
An all-around bike mechanic should be up to speed on these bikes. Glider; Hercules; Huffy; Humber; New Hudson; Norman; Phillips; Robin Hood; Royal Scot This is the easiest way to date a 3-speed bicycle, if it has its original rear wheel.
This bike was supposedly made by Phillips for the American market. Some of the not so obvious hints that this is Phillips are found in some of the little details. Like the Phillips Dimples on the fork. Those are a very specific design aspect of Phillips bicycles. Like the Front and rear lugs. Though astute readers will notice something a little unusual about the second photo. The AG is basically the standard AW hub, but with a dyno in it. The dyno produces electricity for the lighting system.
And even if it was hook up there is a good chance the bulbs are burned out. All Sturmey Archer hubs until fairly recently have a date of manufacture stamped on them. Here you will see the numbers 60 and 6 stamped under the S-A logo. A quick look at the cockpit. There should be a small piece that covers the gap in the lower left part of the first picture.

Radio Rossii wll stop its broadcasts on LW and MW in 2014
All Russian State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company (VGTRK) in 2014 will completely stop broadcasting Radio Russia on long wave and on medium wave in the regions, as said to Digit.ru an industry source .This will be another step to reduce the broadcasting of public radio on the far broadcasting in the regions of Russia. As previously reported by Digit.ru, March 14, stopped broadcasting on longwave and medium wave radio station Mayak after which the station can be heard only in a few dozen cities, where works few transmitters on FM. Deputy General Director Sergei Arkhipov of VGTRK confirmed plans on switching off broadcasting Radio Russia on long wave and to reduce broadcasts on medium wave. He said that Radio Russia in the NE will be turned off where the radio station is broadcasting on shortwave and FM. Reduction of broadcasting will happen, according to Arkhipov, due to the decreased of funding of VGTRK in 2014. (Ivan Lebedevsky, St. Petersburg, Russia)

COMMUNITY & ADULT LEARNING
Walk into the Social Hall of Congregation Beth Shalom and imagine what it looked like in 1970. At that time, the current Social Hall and Kitchen made up the whole synagogue. The building was called Holmes Hall, and it was owned by the University Unitarian Church. It consisted of a small chapel, small social hall, office, 4 classrooms plus lavatories. For the previous two years, Congregation Beth Shalom had been operating out of the Blessed Sacrament School. In 1970 we moved into Holmes Hall, and 3 years later we bought it from the Unitarian Church. Following two major expansions since 1973, the original building has tripled in size. In addition to a larger space, we have incorporated Hiddur Mitzvah – the beautification of the Mitzvah – Jewish Art, into our facility.
When you walk into the lobby today, pause and look up. In the entryway surrounding a skylight is an extraordinary mural depicting Creation, as set out in the Torah, Bereshit 1:1-2:4. Start with Day One, straight ahead, then move your eyes to the left and slowly turn as Days Two-Six reveal themselves in sequence – each more marvelous, literally and figuratively, than the one before. Then leaning your head all the way back, you’ll see Day Seven, the day of rest, and more. The Creation mural was designed and created by Rainer Waldman Adkins and donated by Amy Stephson and Brian Rapalee in 2014 in memory of Amy’s parents, Shirley and Cyrus Stephson, z”l. Beth Shalom’s Sanctuary is home to a second mural created by Rainer Adkins. Very different from the new lobby mural, but equally beautiful, it portrays the Torah’s Seven Species, set against a background of Northwest nature.
We have indeed a beautiful space for worship, celebrations, and learning.

SWBAT explain, by reading and active annotations, how point of view shifts reinforce the themes of stagnation and transformation in this coming of age story.
Ya ever feel stuck? This lesson explores the theme while referring to family pressure, science, the La Brea Tar Pits, Shirley Temple, and more!

Ninth grade
structure (Composition Basics)
RL.9-10.1
Cite strong and thorough textual evidence to support analysis of what the text says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from the text.
Determine a theme or central idea of a text and analyze in detail its development over the course of the text, including how it emerges and is shaped and refined by specific details; provide an objective summary of the text.
Analyze how complex characters (e.g., those with multiple or conflicting motivations) develop over the course of a text, interact with other characters, and advance the plot or develop the theme.
Analyze how an author's choices concerning how to structure a text, order events within it (e.g., parallel plots), and manipulate time (e.g., pacing, flashbacks) create such effects as mystery, tension, or surprise.
RL.9-10.10
By the end of grade 9, read and comprehend literature, including stories, dramas, and poems, in the grades 9-10 text complexity band proficiently, with scaffolding as needed at the high end of the range. By the end of grade 10, read and comprehend literature, including stories, dramas, and poems, at the high end of the grades 9-10 text complexity band independently and proficiently.
The students will have been prepared for the challenging scientific descriptions in this story by reading the Nacirema yesterday, and the thematic thrust of this story is captured rather well in "Two Kinds," a story that we read earlier in the school year..
That said, undertsanding the world of a child star (actress) who is now stuck in the pits of her life might be a stretch for some of my students, so I plan to ask the following questions:
1.) Have you ever been stuck in your life?
2.) What types of pressure are unhealthy?
3.) Structurally, have you ever read a story that switches abruptly from first person to 3rd person point of view? What might be the effects? The benefits?
There are many copies of the story online. Here is one from a textbook with images (link) that you can take a look at as you think about this lesson.
Photo hook. I will foreground several key points in the story with this image. The story is set in modern-day Los Angeles, featuring a girl who is no longer the childhood movie star she once was. She has taken up a job working in what is now a natural history site for the study of dinosaur bones, the La Brea tar pits (link). Metaphorically, she is stuck in these tar pits herself, not moving forward in life. However, she comes to accept herself and her situation and can now grow from there. Incidentally, this theme of self-acceptance figures prominently in two others of my units, The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian and American Born Chinese.
I will ask:
1.) What seems to be the status of neighborliness in this image (bad: they are all ready to eat or kill each other)? How is life like that sometimes?
2.) What is a tar pit, and how might this scene be preserved and viewed by later scientists?
3.) As you get older, how does your life change? Think of child actors (I can only think of McCauly Caulkin and Miley Cyrus for some reason), what happens to them as they get older? Why is this transition a challenge for many of them.
Structural Choices (Point of view shifts)
Finally, it is important to note that the story shifts abruptly from first person personal styled narration to 3rd person, scientific style, but both of these approaches parallel and reinforce each other (RL.9-10.5). So if the main story is referring to excess competition, the scientific vignettes describe competition among animals for food. I will let this aspect of the story unfold and point it out as needed. I am sure that the students have not read anything quite like this, so the experience should be pretty broadening, but I want to make sure that they are tracking with the basic gist of the story and drawing evidence for discussion (RL.9-10.1). Unlike the "Nacirema" from the last lesson, I see no need to preserve the surprise here, so I plan to let the students know what the intent and structure of the story are as we begin.

Pacing and adding time
Students have base groups that have been established in order to be reading clubs and writing workshops. They will get into these groups to read and annotate the story, finishing it for homework. We have already worked on writing inferential questions about character motives and feelings (RL.9-10.3), so I will expect some questions about those. I will also ask them to star the places in which they detect a parallel in meaning or idea (RL.9-10.2) between the two narrative voices, and I will encourage them NOT to simply skip those parts!
Finally, as I move from group to group, I will be monitoring the students reading of this very challenging text (RL.9-10.10), and a possible scaffold would be for me to read some of the scientific excerpts aloud to them so that I can help facilitate their ability to connect themes and ideas across the two voices present in the story.
NOTE: We will address structural issues in the story (RL.9-10.5)in tomorrow's follow-up lesson!

Oracle and the Non-Playing Character
[This piece was written as a part of Critical Distance‘s April 2013 Blogs of the Round Table feature]
Throughout Arkham Asylum and Arkham City, Batman is assisted remotely by Barbara Gordon, a computer genius and the former Batgirl. Oracle, as she now calls herself, analyzes information, tracks down keys to the locked doors standing in Batman’s way, guides him to his next destination and sends him his bat-luggage whenever he needs it. When Batman tracks down Ra’s Al-Ghul in Arkham City, Talia Al-Ghul warns him that when he faces Ra’s he’ll be completely alone.
“Like always,” Batman pouts before descending deeper into the League of Shadows.
“Really Bruce?” I couldn’t hold back the outburst, “you’re always alone?”
Barbara, apparently, was able to show more restraint than I was. Next to Batman, Oracle is the most important character in the series. The Joker is just a face waiting to be punched; who in the meantime behaves in a way that warrants punching. Oracle leads Batman through the maze of smaller face-punches en route. More than that though, she humanizes the Dark Knight, she shows concern, she provides levity, she reminds him what the stakes are should Batman fail to punch the right faces before time runs out. As a character, Batman is hilariously flawless, but Oracle keeps him grounded and as close to relatable as an increasingly awkward Mary Sue can be.
When Oracle questions Batman, he doubts himself; when she warns him, he rises to the challenge; when she worries about him or the hostages he’s trying to rescue, he reassures her. The relationship Batman has with Oracle makes him more than a thug in rodent-themed spandex: in their interactions we’re reminded who the hero is supposed to be.
And Oracle doesn’t even get a second of screen time across two games. Anya Stroud in the Gears of War series eventually shows up as Machine Gun Barbie, The Prince’s second personality in Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones takes charge of their shared body in a series of playable sequences, EDI splits her consciousness between a world-class warship in Mass Effect 2 and a spry femme-bot in Mass Effect 3. Poor Oracle, though, remains a disembodied voice.
Seriously game, you couldn’t even show her face?
She is completely passive. Oracle’s role in the game is to update the player’s objective list and help establish a context for who Batman is and what he’s doing. If she were to be likened to a mechanic—and, if those esteemed graduates from the school of formalism are to believed, everything ought to be—than she would be one removed from the game. She would be part walkthrough, part spectator. If the Arkham games were a match of tennis, Oracle would be Batman’s coach; if the Arkham games were a staged play, she’d be the stage manager. But since the Arkham games are video games, Oracle is a member of the audience watching Batman play.
If you were to sit next to someone while they played Arkham Asylum or Arkham City and say something to them, you’d be Oracle. Whether you’re encouraging them, warning them, expressing concern or providing levity, you’d be doing for them what Oracle does for Batman (so we’re clear, if you’re mocking or distracting them, you’d be a jerk). The point, though, is that even if you aren’t interacting with the game, you’re still a part and a subject of the experience by interacting with the player.
Last summer, my partner and I picked up a used copy of Tomb Raider II from a record/video place in the heart of the city we live in. We’d both played the game when it first came out but the underwater levels were too clausterphobic for her and I liked cheating too much to give the game an honest go. So, for $2, we decided it was worth reliving. One of us would play Lara, the other would play Oracle. When Lara got stuck, Oracle would deliver a helpful piece of advice. If ever something stumped both Lara and Oracle, than Oracle would pull up a walkthrough and map out the next few steps for Lara. We’d swap the controller and the laptop every level, changing our interactions with the game and with one another.
Lunch is another assumed duty of the video game spectator
Video games offer a unique space for critical interaction that other media does not. Even lengthy single-player affairs (such as Jade Empire, my most recent outing as Oracle) offer a chance to connect with another person. Visual art can be absorbed in the literal blink of an eye (Houlden, Sophie. “Can Art be Games?” Sophie’s Blog. Nov 30 2012) and literature and film can only really be discussed after they’ve been taken in entirely. We both took a literature degree, so we can book-talk with the best of them, but I read a snail’s pace and, while we both enjoy movies and TV, she’s less interested in seeing a film on the small screen and it takes time to dig into a new, mutually agreeable series. But video games aren’t like that. Video games are constantly interactive even without playing them.
I can, for instance, play Shining Force II with the sound off right next to her while she plays Lord of the Rings: War in the North. One of us can pause when we reach a difficult spot and consult our Oracle. She can turn to me and fill me in on how well War in the North draws on the history of her beloved Lord of the Rings while I comment on how much my own game is influenced by Tolkein’s primordial fantasy. We can have a conversation around our games while playing them. We can engage with our games, with one another and with one another’s games all at the same time. We can be Batman in one game while being Oracle in another. And that’s only for those of us that play.
You can see it, right?
This is pure speculation, but I have a feeling that there are plenty of “non-gamers” that love games so long as they don’t have to play them. A few years ago, my partner and a friend of ours participated in a podcast on this subject (“Moving Pixels Podcast: The ‘Girlfriend on the Couch’ Edition.” PopMatters. Nov 28 2011.). There are plenty of Oracles being dismissed because they have no interest in being Batman. It’s not uncommon to enjoy games for their spectacle but those that do are actively discouraged from exploring games because they don’t or can’t play them. They’re not Batman; they’re just Oracle and games are designed for Batman. Conventional wisdom seems to be that if you aren’t playing a game you aren’t experiencing it properly.
There’s a deeply ingrained idea in criticism that games are purely interactive and that any passive enjoyment one might get from them is artificial, even detrimental to the medium. Furthermore, the assumed definition of interactive refers to the person holding the controller, not the people sitting with player 1 just enjoying the game as a viewer. I’ll never forget an old roommate of ours squeezing her knees to her chest and yelling “oh shit, oh shit,” while a sea monster dragged Link through the bottom of Twilight Princess‘s water dungeon. Sometimes, to some people, a game is better without ever touching a controller. Sometimes the best player is the patient, encouraging, conversational adviser offering another perspective. Or even the bug-eyed spectator cheering on player 1.
Without Batman’s influence on Arkham Asylum there’s no doubt that the whole region would have spiralled into unpunched villainy; but where would Batman be without the influence of Oracle?

Rigel Pharma enrolls first patients in Phase 2 COVID-19 trial
Rigel Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:RIGL) enrolled the first patients in its Phase 2 trial evaluating fostamatinib for the treatment of hospitalized COVID-19 patients.
The study is sponsored by the NIH’s National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, in collaboration with Inova Health System (NHLBI). The trial will enroll some 60 patients that will be randomized to receive either fostamatinib or placebo, administered orally, twice daily for 14 days.
The study’s primary objective is to evaluate the safety of fostamatinib compared to placebo for the treatment of hospitalized COVID-19 patients, with a secondary objective of assessing the early efficacy and clinically relevant measures of disease progression.
“As mortality continues to rise, it is evident that new therapeutics selectively targeting immune response are desperately needed to treat patients infected with SARS-CoV-2,” Dr. Richard Childs, NHLBI’s clinical director, said in a statement.
“This is a rigorously-designed clinical trial, which should provide insight into the potential safety and efficacy of fostamatinib in the treatment of severely ill patients suffering from COVID-19,” he added.

Wedding Venues Post Covid-19
By Annam Nasir - In
You may have read in the recent press that the Law Commission is going to recommend modernisation of the law relating to weddings, which is approaching its 200th anniversary, originally made in 1836! Let us hope the Law Commission do not rush into things!
The reason for the review is to consider allowing more flexibility as to where a wedding could take place. For example, in the future this could be outside on your favourite beach, or in private gardens, or perhaps a cruise ship. The latter does not seem too appealing post COVID.
Bearing in mind the Commission is going to close consultation on 31st December 2020, an outdoors ceremony perhaps in the early part of the New Year during the winter months in England and Wales again may not be too appealing.
However, there should be plenty of time to plan ahead and with this in mind consider, what is now being termed relationship planning ,the not so romantic but sensible precaution of entering into a pre-nuptial agreement to protect not only the assets of yourself and your spouse to be, but also any future assets you may acquire, whether that is the lottery or inheritance, redundancy or pension, or you might be successful on” Who wants to be a Millionaire.”

About InVivoPlus anti-mouse PD-1 (CD279)
The J43 monoclonal antibody reacts with mouse PD-1 (programmed death-1) also known as CD279. PD-1 is a 50-55 kDa cell surface receptor encoded by the Pdcd1 gene that belongs to the CD28 family of the immunoglobulin superfamily. PD-1 is transiently expressed on CD4 and CD8 thymocytes as well as activated T and B lymphocytes and myeloid cells. PD-1 expression declines after successful elimination of antigen. Additionally, Pdcd1 mRNA is expressed in developing B lymphocytes during the pro-B-cell stage. PD-1’s structure includes a ITIM (immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motif) suggesting that PD-1 negatively regulates TCR signals. PD-1 signals via binding its two ligands, PD-L1 and PD-L2 both members of the B7 family. Upon ligand binding, PD-1 signaling inhibits T-cell activation, leading to reduced proliferation, cytokine production, and T-cell death. Additionally, PD-1 is known to play key roles in peripheral tolerance and prevention of autoimmune disease in mice as PD-1 knockout animals show dilated cardiomyopathy, splenomegaly, and loss of peripheral tolerance. Induced PD-L1 expression is common in many tumors including squamous cell carcinoma, colon adenocarcinoma, and breast adenocarcinoma. PD-L1 overexpression results in increased resistance of tumor cells to CD8 T cell mediated lysis. In mouse models of melanoma, tumor growth can be transiently arrested via treatment with antibodies which block the interaction between PD-L1 and its receptor PD-1. For these reasons anti-PD-1 mediated immunotherapies are currently being explored as cancer treatments. The J43 antibody has been shown to block the binding of both mouse PD-L1-Ig and mouse PD-L2-Ig to PD-1.

Li, J., et al. (2018). “Co-inhibitory Molecule B7 Superfamily Member 1 Expressed by Tumor-Infiltrating Myeloid Cells Induces Dysfunction of Anti-tumor CD8(+) T Cells.” Immunity 48(4): 773-786 e775. PubMed
The molecular mechanisms whereby CD8(+) T cells become “exhausted” in the tumor microenvironment remain unclear. Programmed death ligand-1 (PD-L1) is upregulated on tumor cells and PD-1-PD-L1 blockade has significant efficacy in human tumors; however, most patients do not respond, suggesting additional mechanisms underlying T cell exhaustion. B7 superfamily member 1 (B7S1), also called B7-H4, B7x, or VTCN1, negatively regulates T cell activation. Here we show increased B7S1 expression on myeloid cells from human hepatocellular carcinoma correlated with CD8(+) T cell dysfunction. B7S1 inhibition suppressed development of murine tumors. Putative B7S1 receptor was co-expressed with PD-1 but not T cell immunoglobulin and mucin-domain containing-3 (Tim-3) at an activated state of early tumor-infiltrating CD8(+) T cells, and B7S1 promoted T cell exhaustion, possibly through Eomes overexpression. Combinatorial blockade of B7S1 and PD-1 synergistically enhanced anti-tumor immune responses. Collectively, B7S1 initiates dysfunction of tumor-infiltrating CD8(+) T cells and may be targeted for cancer immunotherapy.

Programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) is a key regulatory molecule that has been targeted in human cancers, including melanoma. In clinical testing, Abs against PD-1 have resulted in psoriasiform dermatitis (PsD). To determine whether PD-1 regulates PsD, we compared skin responses of PD-1-deficient (PD-1KO) mice and wild-type (WT) controls in an imiquimod (IMQ)-induced murine model of psoriasis. PD-1KO mice showed severe epidermal hyperplasia, greater neutrophilic infiltration, and higher expression of Th17 cytokines (versus WT mice). IMQ exposure increased PD-1 expression by skin gammadelta-low (GDL) T cells and enhanced expression of PD-L1 by keratinocytes. Three-fold increases in the percentage of IL-17A(+) GDL T cells were observed in skin cell suspensions derived from IMQ-treated PD-1KO mice (versus WT controls), suggesting that the lack of PD-1 has a functional effect not only on alphabeta T cells, but also on GDL T cells, and that PD-1 may play a regulatory role in PsD.
Li, C., et al. (2015). “ADAP and SKAP55 deficiency suppresses PD-1 expression in CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes for enhanced anti-tumor immunotherapy.” EMBO Mol Med 7(6): 754-769. PubMed
PD-1 negatively regulates CD8(+) cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) cytotoxicity and anti-tumor immunity. However, it is not fully understood how PD-1 expression on CD8(+) CTL is regulated during anti-tumor immunotherapy. In this study, we have identified that the ADAP-SKAP55 signaling module reduced CD8(+) CTL cytotoxicity and enhanced PD-1 expression in a Fyn-, Ca(2+)-, and NFATc1-dependent manner. In DC vaccine-based tumor prevention and therapeutic models, knockout of SKAP55 or ADAP showed a heightened protection from tumor formation or metastases in mice and reduced PD-1 expression in CD8(+) effector cells. Interestingly, CTLA-4 levels and the percentages of tumor infiltrating CD4(+)Foxp3(+) Tregs remained unchanged. Furthermore, adoptive transfer of SKAP55-deficient or ADAP-deficient CD8(+) CTLs significantly blocked tumor growth and increased anti-tumor immunity. Pretreatment of wild-type CD8(+) CTLs with the NFATc1 inhibitor CsA could also downregulate PD-1 expression and enhance anti-tumor therapeutic efficacy. Together, we propose that targeting the unrecognized ADAP-SKAP55-NFATc1-PD-1 pathway might increase efficacy of anti-tumor immunotherapy.
Park, S. J., et al. (2014). “Negative role of inducible PD-1 on survival of activated dendritic cells.” J Leukoc Biol 95(4): 621-629. PubMed
PD-1 is a well-established negative regulator of T cell responses by inhibiting proliferation and cytokine production of T cells via interaction with its ligands, B7-H1 (PD-L1) and B7-DC (PD-L2), expressed on non-T cells. Recently, PD-1 was found to be expressed in innate cells, including activated DCs, and plays roles in suppressing production of inflammatory cytokines. In this study, we demonstrate that PD-1 KO DCs exhibited prolonged longevity compared with WT DCs in the dLNs after transfer of DCs into hind footpads. Interestingly, upon LPS stimulation, WT DCs increased the expression of PD-1 and started to undergo apoptosis. DCs, in spleen of LPS-injected PD-1 KO mice, were more resistant to LPS-mediated apoptosis in vivo than WT controls. Moreover, treatment of blocking anti-PD-1 mAb during DC maturation resulted in enhanced DC survival, suggesting that PD-1:PD-L interactions are involved in DC apoptosis. As a result, PD-1-deficient DCs augmented T cell responses in terms of antigen-specific IFN-gamma production and proliferation of CD4 and CD8 T cells to a greater degree than WT DCs. Moreover, PD-1 KO DCs exhibited increased MAPK1 and CD40-CD40L signaling, suggesting a possible mechanism for enhanced DC survival in the absence of PD-1 expression. Taken together, our findings further extend the function of PD-1, which plays an important role in apoptosis of activated DCs and provides important implications for PD-1-mediated immune regulation.
Rabenstein, H., et al. (2014). “Differential kinetics of antigen dependency of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells.” J Immunol 192(8): 3507-3517. PubMed
Ag recognition via the TCR is necessary for the expansion of specific T cells that then contribute to adaptive immunity as effector and memory cells. Because CD4+ and CD8+ T cells differ in terms of their priming APCs and MHC ligands we compared their requirements of Ag persistence during their expansion phase side by side. Proliferation and effector differentiation of TCR transgenic and polyclonal mouse T cells were thus analyzed after transient and continuous TCR signals. Following equally strong stimulation, CD4+ T cell proliferation depended on prolonged Ag presence, whereas CD8+ T cells were able to divide and differentiate into effector cells despite discontinued Ag presentation. CD4+ T cell proliferation was neither affected by Th lineage or memory differentiation nor blocked by coinhibitory signals or missing inflammatory stimuli. Continued CD8+ T cell proliferation was truly independent of self-peptide/MHC-derived signals. The subset divergence was also illustrated by surprisingly broad transcriptional differences supporting a stronger propensity of CD8+ T cells to programmed expansion. These T cell data indicate an intrinsic difference between CD4+ and CD8+ T cells regarding the processing of TCR signals for proliferation. We also found that the presentation of a MHC class II-restricted peptide is more efficiently prolonged by dendritic cell activation in vivo than a class I bound one. In summary, our data demonstrate that CD4+ T cells require continuous stimulation for clonal expansion, whereas CD8+ T cells can divide following a much shorter TCR signal.
Sarraj, B., et al. (2014). “Impaired selectin-dependent leukocyte recruitment induces T-cell exhaustion and prevents chronic allograft vasculopathy and rejection.” Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 111(33): 12145-12150. PubMed
Selectin-selectin ligand interactions mediate the initial steps in leukocyte migration, an integral part of immune responses. Fucosyltransferase-VII (FucT-VII), encoded by Fut7, is essential for biosynthesis of selectin ligands. In an established model of cardiac allograft vasculopathy and chronic rejection, Fut7(-/-) recipients exhibited long-term graft survival with minimal vasculopathy compared with WT controls. Graft survival was associated with CD4 T-cell exhaustion in the periphery, characterized by impaired effector cytokine production, defective proliferation, increased expression of inhibitory receptors programmed death-1 (PD-1) and T cell Ig- and mucin-domain-containing molecule-3 (Tim-3), low levels of IL-7Ralpha on CD4 T cells, and reduced migration of polyfunctional CD4 memory T cells to the allograft. Blocking PD-1 triggered rejection only in Fut7(-/-) recipients, whereas depleting regulatory T cells had no effect in either Fut7(-/-) or WT recipients. Adoptive transfer experiments confirmed that this CD4 T cell-exhausted phenotype is seen primarily in Fut7(-/-) CD4 T cells. These data suggest that impaired leukocyte recruitment is a novel mechanism leading to CD4 T-cell exhaustion. Our experimental system serves as an excellent model to study CD4 T-cell exhaustion as a dominant mechanism of transplant tolerance. Further, targeting FucT-VII may serve as a promising strategy to prevent chronic allograft rejection and promote tolerance.
Van der Jeught, K., et al. (2014). “Intratumoral administration of mRNA encoding a fusokine consisting of IFN-beta and the ectodomain of the TGF-beta receptor II potentiates antitumor immunity.” Oncotarget 5(20): 10100-10113. PubMed
It is generally accepted that the success of immunotherapy depends on the presence of tumor-specific CD8(+) cytotoxic T cells and the modulation of the tumor environment. In this study, we validated mRNA encoding soluble factors as a tool to modulate the tumor microenvironment to potentiate infiltration of tumor-specific T cells. Intratumoral delivery of mRNA encoding a fusion protein consisting of interferon-beta and the ectodomain of the transforming growth factor-beta receptor II, referred to as Fbeta(2), showed therapeutic potential. The treatment efficacy was dependent on CD8(+) T cells and could be improved through blockade of PD-1/PD-L1 interactions. In vitro studies revealed that administration of Fbeta(2) to tumor cells resulted in a reduced proliferation and increased expression of MHC I but also PD-L1. Importantly, Fbeta(2) enhanced the antigen presenting capacity of dendritic cells, whilst reducing the suppressive activity of myeloid-derived suppressor cells. In conclusion, these data suggest that intratumoral delivery of mRNA encoding soluble proteins, such as Fbeta(2), can modulate the tumor microenvironment, leading to effective antitumor T cell responses, which can be further potentiated through combination therapy.
Verhagen, J. and D. C. Wraith (2014). “Blockade of LFA-1 augments in vitro differentiation of antigen-induced Foxp3(+) Treg cells.” J Immunol Methods 414: 58-64. PubMed
Adoptive transfer of antigen-specific, in vitro-induced Foxp3(+) Treg (iTreg) cells protects against autoimmune disease. To generate antigen-specific iTreg cells at high purity, however, remains a challenge. Whereas polyclonal T cell stimulation with anti-CD3 and anti-CD28 antibody yields Foxp3(+) iTreg cells at a purity of 90-95%, antigen-induced iTreg cells typically do not exceed a purity of 65-75%, even in a TCR-transgenic model. In a similar vein to thymic Treg cell selection, iTreg cell differentiation is influenced not only by antigen recognition and the availability of TGF-beta but also by co-factors including costimulation and adhesion molecules. In this study, we demonstrate that blockade of the T cell integrin Leukocyte Function-associated Antigen-1 (LFA-1) during antigen-mediated iTreg cell differentiation augments Foxp3 induction, leading to approximately 90% purity of Foxp3(+) iTreg cells. This increased efficacy not only boosts the yield of Foxp3(+) iTreg cells, it also reduces contamination with activated effector T cells, thus improving the safety of adoptive transfer immunotherapy.

Systemic high-dose IL2 promotes long-term survival in a subset of metastatic melanoma patients, but this treatment is accompanied by severe toxicities. The immunocytokine L19-IL2, in which IL2 is fused to the human L19 antibody capable of selective accumulation on tumor neovasculature, has recently shown encouraging clinical activity in patients with metastatic melanoma. In this study, we have investigated the therapeutic performance of L19-IL2, administered systemically in combination with a murine anti-CTLA-4 antibody or with a second clinical-stage immunocytokine (L19-TNF) in two syngeneic immunocompetent mouse models of cancer. We observed complete tumor eradications when L19-IL2 was used in combination with CTLA-4 blockade. Interestingly, mice cured from F9 tumors developed new lesions when rechallenged with tumor cells after therapy, whereas mice cured from CT26 tumors were resistant to tumor rechallenge. Similarly, L19-IL2 induced complete remissions when administered in a single intratumoral injection in combination with L19-TNF, whereas the two components did not lead to cures when administered as single agents. These findings provide a rationale for combination trials in melanoma, as the individual therapeutic agents have been extensively studied in clinical trials, and the antigen recognized by the L19 antibody has an identical sequence in mouse and man.
Noval Rivas, M., et al. (2009). “Reviving function in CD4+ T cells adapted to persistent systemic antigen.” J Immunol 183(7): 4284-4291. PubMed
In bone marrow-transplanted patients, chronic graft-versus-host disease is a complication that results from the persistent stimulation of recipient minor histocompatibility Ag (mHA)-specific T cells contained within the graft. In this study, we developed a mouse model where persistent stimulation of donor T cells by recipient’s mHA led to multiorgan T cell infiltration. Exposure to systemic mHA, however, deeply modified T cell function and chronically stimulated T cells developed a long-lasting state of unresponsiveness, or immune adaptation, characterized by their inability to mediate organ immune damages in vivo. However, analysis of the gene expression profile of adapted CD4+ T cells revealed the specific coexpression of genes known to promote differentiation and function of Th1 effector cells as well as genes coding for proteins that control T cell activity, such as cell surface-negative costimulatory molecules and regulatory cytokines. Strikingly, blockade of negative costimulation abolished T cell adaptation and stimulated strong IFN-gamma production and severe multiorgan wasting disease. Negative costimulation was also shown to control lethal LPS-induced toxic shock in mice with adapted T cells, as well as the capacity of adapted T cells to reject skin graft. Our results demonstrate that negative costimulation is the molecular mechanism used by CD4+ T cells to adapt their activity in response to persistent antigenic stimulation. The effector function of CD4+ T cells that have adapted to chronic Ag presentation can be activated by stimuli strong enough to overcome regulatory signals delivered to the T cells by negative costimulation.

A brand new Apple service just leaked that’s set to debut with the iPhone 12
Apple is rumored to bundled several of its services into Apple One subscriptions. Image source: ra2 studio/Adobe
August 13th, 2020 at 2:35 PM
The iPhone 12 launch event in October will introduce a brand new Apple product, the “Apple One” bundle that will include subscriptions to various Apple services.
Apple One will come in different versions that could include a combination of Apple Music, Apple TV+, Apple News, Apple Arcade, and iCloud.
Each bundle is meant to save users between $2 and $5 per month, depending on the Apple One option that’s chosen.
The highest-tier Apple One subscription will include a brand new Apple fitness service that will be available via apps on iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV.
Apple launched two new subscription services last year, Apple TV+ and Apple Arcade, prompting many to speculate that the company could soon offer bundle deals that could incorporate music, news, TV, and gaming into a single product. iCloud storage and AppleCare are other types of services that could be added on top of such deals. Apple never followed through with such announcements, but that will apparently change this fall. A report from a trusted insider details an upcoming “Apple One” subscription product that will include cheaper access to several Apple services. Apple One and its various tiers could be introduced this fall, alongside the iPhone 12 series.
People familiar with the matter confirmed to Bloomberg that Apple One will have different tiers and different price points. Yes, it will apparently be called “One” despite offering more than one option.
A basic package will include Apple Music and Apple TV+, according to the report. A more expensive version will add Apple Arcade on top of the music and TV products. Other tiers could bundle Apple News+ and/or iCloud with the previous three services. Then there will also be a top tier that adds in Apple’s new fitness service that’s shaping up to take on Peloton. The structure of the bundles isn’t final and may change before Apple One is announced.
The idea is that the bundles will help consumers save money on Apple subscriptions, assuming they’re looking to subscribe to more than one product. The Apple One bundles will deliver monthly savings up to $5 compared to buying each subscription separately. The best part is that the bundles will work with Apple’s Family Sharing system, which means families would make the most of the deals.
Bloomberg explains that subscribing to all of Apple’s services and the highest iCloud storage tear now costs about $45 per month. A high-end Apple One bundle would cut the monthly charge by $5.
Apple One could be Apple’s equivalent to Amazon’s Prime subscription service that delivers plenty of perks to subscribers. Apple won’t match Prime, and there’s no telling whether a future version of Apple One might also include hardware like an iPhone.
On top of the services bundle, Apple reportedly wants to launch a new subscription service for fitness. The virtual fitness classes would be available on iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV, and the service will be offered in the high-end bundle with the rest of the Apple services. The product is codenamed “Seymour” and would rival similar fitness programs from Peloton and Nike.
The report also notes that Apple is looking at bundling some services with hardware. Buyers of the Apple TV set-top box would get a free year of Apple Arcade, for example. The offer sounds similar to last year’s free Apple TV+ access that came with any Apple hardware purchase.
A recent leak said the iPhone 12 launch event will take place in mid-October, about a month later than usual. That’s when we’d expect Apple to launch its new Apple One subscription bundles.

Calgary appoints new CEMA chief, updates response to COVID-19
Posted on November 27, 2020 by Cal
CALGARY — As the province’s new pandemic restrictions officially come into effect, city officials have an update on its COVID-19 response as well as a new addition to a critical team.
Tom Sampson, head of the Calgary Emergency Management Agency (CEMA), announced his retirement earlier this year.
Officials announced Friday that Susan Henry will become the city’s new CEMA chief.
Henry, a veteran firefighter who was born and raised in Calgary, has played a number of key leadership roles in disasters throughout Alberta, including the 2013 flood, Slave Lake wildfire, Fort McMurray wildfire and, most recently, the COVID-19 pandemic.
She has also served as deputy chief with CEMA since 2015 and also helped lead Canada Task Force 2, a disaster response team.
“I couldn’t think of a more qualified and dedicated person to lead CEMA than Sue Henry, and an international search confirmed it,” said Mayor Naheed Nenshi Friday. “I know that she will keep us prepared for whatever threats may be waiting for us, and will act thoughtfully to protect Calgarians when called upon.”
Henry says her time with Sampson has thoroughly prepared her for the new role.
“I have learned so much from Chief Sampson these last years,” she said. “And, while typically you would take a new leadership role in calmer conditions – that is, not in the midst of a global crisis – I am committed to continue the fight against COVID-19 and any other emergency that comes our way. There is an amazing team and Agency that make this work possible.”
Sampson officially hands over the reins on Monday and Henry will step into the role on Dec. 1.

In England, it is the practice of the court to allow the claimants to select one of the commissioners of appraisement and sale.? The expense of this proceeding is, in the first in- Expense of

In the United States, the sale itself is in all cases made by the marshal, and such is usually the case in England, but the court may direct it to be made by any other person. The regular practice of the prize court is to have a previous inventory and appraisement; and obvious reasons of public policy to check fraud and fix responsibility on the officers of the court, require an adherence to that rule.

The bail required in such cases, is a stipulation for the return of the property, or its full value, to abide the decree; and ordinarily, the court insti. tutes an inquiry into the value, and the order is made pursuant thereto. The sureties in such stipulation are responsible only for the amount of their stipulation; but the principal is holden for the value of the property, though it exceed the sum named in the stipulation.

They are not discharged by lapse of time, but may be enforced by the court at any time, and although the stipulation be given to the captors, the bail may be answerable in the admiralty to the government, if it should so result, from any circumstances, that the property is condemned to the government. But if, at the time of the capture and delivery on bail, the property was neutral, and by reason of the subse. quent intervention of hostilities with the neutral power condemnation is made to the government, the stipulation would not in such case be enforced, because such an event was not in the contemplation of the parties when they entered into it.

← A stats geek takes a hammer to conference championship games.
Eh, what the hell. →
January 9, 2017 · 7:00 AM
Now that the first year is in the books…
I’m curious to hear from you about something.
If the spectrum of expectations for Georgia’s 2017 season runs from “another throwaway season” at one end to “great leap” at the other, where do yours fall?
185 responses to “Now that the first year is in the books…”
“Regression to the mean” is a phrase in use here a bit recently. I’d think that in year 2, regression to our 15 year mean of 10 wins is a reasonable expectation.
VoxDawg
I’m cautiously optimistic, expecting 10-2 and winning the East not being off the table.
Better be a great leap. Don’t the metrics all indicate if the new guy doesn’t have it going by year 2, he probably will never get it going? Either way, next year UGA will have 2 stellar recruiting classes in the bag, almost 2 years of The Process, continuity at QB and with the staff (it appears). As Big Ed Bookman says in Texas, “It’s time to stop talking about the picture of the dog.” I don’t expect a national championship next year, or even an SEC title, but I expect to see something a lot better than what I saw this year.
I’m with you. If it’s not a great leap, we did not get our man, IMO.
Dabo would disagree, but yes, for the most part he who doesn’t win early in his tenure doesn’t stay long enough to right the ship.
You mean Deshaun would disagree with you. 😉
Tahj Boyd got Clemson to 11-2 and beat Ohio State in the Orange Bowl. People keep sleeping on Dabo like he’s some chump…the dude can build a staff and recruit. Clemson isn’t good because of Deshaun alone.
How good can he be? After all, that bum Mark Richt beat the pants off of him in Athens, and nearly did the same at Clemson.
I will admit that Dabo has built a pretty strong team around Watson. It wouldn’t surprise me to see them win tonight.
A10Penny
Todd Gurley did a lot of the heavy lifting in those games
Who recruited him again? eh oh yea Mark did.
Yes, he did. CMR recruited his share of incredible players. Depth of recruiting was an issue though, and Kirby fixed that in a hurry (assuming the class signs and doesn’t implode once it gets to Athens).
in fact, didn’t MR beat Dabo for Gurley? Dabo seemed to think they were getting him right up to the end, or pretty close.
No, but if Watson and Venebales left after this season, I’d be very skeptical of Auburn with a Lake next year.
Venables isn’t going anywhere as nothing is open worth his time. And Clemson might dip to 9-3 next year, but that’ll be because they’re in between QBs. If 9-3 is a bad year you’re doing something right.
You could maybe say that about Jimbo too. His 2nd year was pretty underwhelming. Then he got rolling downhill and smoked fools.
Agree Parrish. I don’t understand the reluctance to give credit where it is due where Dabo is concerned. I also don’t understand the tendency people have to or the need they seem to have to characterize him as buffoonish and not to be taken seriously. They can do that if they want t to but they do it at their own risk of being made fools of themselves. I don’t have real strong feelings about the guy either way but dude is legit as a coach. Some of the self styled intellectuals may not think he’s cool enough for them but he did t trip and fall into the success he’s had. Clemson was a perennial “close but not quite” sort of team for what seemed like forever. Dabo has made them into the real thing.
Dabo seems to be an outlier, metrics wise, which I guess goes to show that metrics aren’t everything. For the record, I think Dabo is a hell of a good recruiter and coach, and it wont surprise me one bit to see Alabama go after him when Saban decides to hang it up. A school could do (and has done) much worse than to hire a guy with a proven track record as a head coach at a Power 5 school if they want to be a national power.
A school could do (and has done) much worse than to hire a guy with a proven track record as a head coach at a Power 5 school if they want to be a national power.
Can you imagine a guy like Dabo with the unlimited resources and administration support he’d get at Alabama? Me, I hope they hire another Mike Shula or Ray Perkins.
Napoleon BonerFart
Saban has transformed the culture. They’re more likely to hire Bill Belichick than Mike Shula for their next coach.
well, Belichik is a great coach, but he’s getting old, isn’t he? Can Bama boosters offer him eternal youth or something? Talk about attention to detail.
How good was UGA the last time Clemson made a run at the national title?
Perhaps the Dawgs can get something going next season?
Georgia was not a good team in 2015.
But they won 10 games
Yeah – but the question was how good was Georgia the last time Clemson contended for a national title which was a whole year ago.
FWIW – that 2015 team was better than this 2016 team by nearly any objective measure you want to use.
I don’t argue that. 2015 had 2 5 year SR tackles, Malcom Mitchell, Leonard Floyd, and Jordan Jenkins. It was still the worse 10 win team you’ll ever see.
You must have missed that Iowa team that went to the Rose Bowl last year. Absolutely mediocre team that got lucky it missed Ohio State, Michigan, and Michigan State in the regular season. Hell – Northwestern won 10 games last year and got obliterated by Tennessee in its bowl game. There’s plenty of average as grits 10 win teams in the modern era of CFB with 12 game schedules. You keep acting like Georgia 2015 is unique in this respect.
bing good call on Iowa last year.
In all seriousness – there’s like 3 Power 5 teams that finished with 10 wins last year that fell below Georgia’s #32 in S&P+. I just don’t see why people feel the need to continuously shit on the 2015 team. As far as I’m concerned, 2016 was a far more unenjoyable viewing experience. At least that 2015 team put Spurrier in the retirement home. That’s a redeeming quality for an average season in and of itself.
To each their own. I’m not saying 2016 set the world on fire, bc God knows it didn’t, but 2015 was the most miserable season I had as a UGA fan since the 2000 disappointment. Probably just me.
Tri, you have a warped perspective. How much did you like the 2010 6-7 team? ’09? The ’09 team looked all season like a it would have a losing record but pulled the fat out of the fire at the end to go 8-5. The 2015 team was a decent albeit not great team that actually could have won the SEC East if Chubb hadn’t gotten hurt in the UT game and CMR had not made the biggest game-planning blunder of his career in the FU game.
OK, you got me…I was referring to early 1980s. My attempt was making a correlation between Clemson national title run and UGA national title run. Just looking for a silver lining to UGAs benefit from the CU run. Their QB is special, it will be interesting to see how they look next searon.
I was just being a smartass, but I knew what you meant.
As would Mike Macintyre.
Agree. Not winning the East, considering the schedule and the state of our division, would be a colossal failure
Grathams replacement
10-4,11-3. Defense improves to 17-20 ppg, even more improvement if a dominant pass rusher emerges. OL,WR, and Eason improve as the season goes on. Kicker is the wildcard with the Blankenship drama.
Kicker has been the wild card for the last two years, and not just because of the befuddling situation with Blankenship. For a program with a long long history of great kicking and punting to have come to this is some kind of existential bitch-slap. Its like we done pissed somebody off, there.
Well.. since you asked.. Our weakest points were first, an undersized and out maneuvered O line who had difficulty run blocking. And if we can run with Chubb, Michel et al in the backfield we are in trouble. Second, Eason wasn’t quite up to the hype he came with. He is a great talent and a nice young man. But, he overthrew a lot of open recievers or didn’t see them at all. He did show some promise in the Liberty Bowl by running when flushed out of the pocket instead of getting sacked or throwing the ball away. We have a favorable schedule next year, but we had that this year too. If we get the O line organized and BEAT FLORIDA who knows?
You mean an undersized and improperly coached Offensive Line. I see improvement coming in with this new OL class. I’m not certain we have the coaches in place to capitalize. Let’s hope so.
Be in the SEC championship game. That is the bar for me and anything less would be a disappointment. No reason to not run the table in the East with the amount of talent returning AND coming into the Fall.
+1 agree completely!
yep better compete for the big prize this year not be out of it in October
I don’t know how it will go, but it better go to the SECCG and an east division title.
9-3. Losses to Notre Dame, UF and Auburn.
Auburn. If you had said any other team, I could be on board. But AU.
I like how we just chuck up a loss to Florida, naturally (I do too)
But hey, frat beach! Barbara Jean’s in October! Good times, I guess.
Well he is saying Losses and naming teams, losing to ND at their house, could see. Losing to UF, 50-50 ok. But in the last 10 years, UGA has owned AU. So there I draw the line.
I would consider the program being on schedule the East coming down to the WLOCP win or loss in a 4Qtr game. Smart needs to get the program to a point where is .500 or slightly better against UF.
The UF QB situation will be interesting to watch. McElwain catches flack for the QB situation but he was having a solid 1st yr before the QB was ruled ineligible, and a good 2nd yr when the starter was injured. They red shirted a QB who was ranked just behind Eason and Del Rio is back. UF should be favored to win the East again.
GT is a must win or Smart hot seat talk starts. UGA coaches don’t start 0-3 to the nerds.
Year 3 is the big year. Smart recruited OL heavy this year, Hopefully they sign and then develop in year 2. Chubb and Sony are great but they can’t create miracles with a mediocre OL.
I was thinking ND but I’ll take a SEC loss over a non conference loss any day.
Middlin
If anyone says Kirby will succeed, they’re lying. No one knows. Any throwaway season will only be excused in hindsight… if he actually builds something. The caveat I’ll give is that I’m not going to bitch too much about his 1st year, despite some real head scratching moments (games). 2nd year doesn’t get a pass. I can’t put a number on that, but all I can say today is I need to see significant progress
rchris
If you look at raw athletic talent on hand, the only teams that will be remotely close to us are Notre Dame (coming off a losing record), and Auburn (who we beat). Unfortunately we have to play them both on the road as well as Tennessee, and we play the Gators in Jax. If Kirby can get as much out of his talent as the opposing coaches do theirs, then we should win at least 2 of those 4. 10-2 in the regular season is a reasonable expectation.
Also, if Kirby & Co. weren’t killing it on the recruiting trail, I think there’d be a lot more restlessness amongst the natives.
He better recruit well. To compensate for coaching.
Win the east, beat Florida, lose pretty handily in the champ game, but not by five TDs
I think that all the indicators will point to an East title or 9-3, 10-2 a top 15 type of team.
What I would be more interested in is being able to pull up Bill C stats at the end of the season and seeing 2+ games in 90+ range, 5-6 games in the 75-90 range and maybe 4 games in the 60-75 range. No games in the single digits. No game below 50th percentile.
Regardless of the wins and losses that would indicate that this team was moving towards being a competitive national title team. Maybe a team that ends the year better than they started.
My guess is that we see something a little better than a throwaway season, but the drive home is still nothing but guys telling you that we just dont have the players and talent in athens to beat Mizzou.
So , basically, get back to where CMR / Bobo left us
Year 2 yes, Year 3 I would want a WLOCP W, and a SEC CG trip playing closer than our last meeting with Bama.
…and by Year 2 yes I would say 2011-2012 Richt/Bobo not ’13+ Richt/Bobo.
I was let down because Smart was so rigid in his philosophy that he didn’t go after the wins. I think he learned a lot though, and I bet we see more out of the offense next year. I expect there to be changes in the OL if someone gets beat like Catalina, I expect Eason to be under center as much as he can handle, I expect to see Mr Chubb and M Michel to get the ball more often.
I still think Smart will be successful. His recruiting is incredible, the East sucks, and I’m an eternal optimist.
Looks like I’m on the same page as most others…win the East and be competitive in the SEC championship game, at least. It’s not as much about our team, but the competition and next year is looking like an even more down year for the SEC East (if that was even possible). Also, the offense is going to have to pass the eye test and appear more in sync and fluid in Chaney’s offense. No doubt there will still be struggles with a new OL, but I need to feel better about the offense and see improvement.
I feel like 2017 is going to have a lot of similarities to 1997. So I’ll go with 10-2. Whether that’s good enough to get to Atlanta or not, idk. Obviously it depends on how the rest of the conference shakes out.
I want to see two things (drastically) improve next season.
1: Eason has to get better and take advantage of the gimme plays. I don’t need him threading the needle 25 yards down the field with regularity, but I need him to hit the open receiver for the big play. He failed to do so far too often this year, but since he’s a true freshman learning a complicated system I’ll give him a one-year pass. That pass expired Dec. 30th, however.
2: Kirby’s in-game coaching has got to get better. I expected there to be some issues and he didn’t disappoint. His time out usage is awful for the most part and truth be told his demeanor is too up and down. I know we all wanted Richt to be a little bit more emotional, but Kirby seems to be a classic overcorrection to that. He needs to settle himself down a bit while keeping some of the emotion that makes him who he is. That’s not an easy thing to manage but it’s part of the gig.
As for the season outlook, it’s just so hard to tell this early. Players will be hurt. Players will transfer. While I’m somewhat bullish on the offensive line, I still think UGA is one year away before contending for anything special. That doesn’t mean UGA can’t win the SEC East. In fact I would be disappointed if it didn’t. But it could very well be a sacrificial lamb should Bama find itself in Atlanta again a la Florida the past two years. I think 10-2 is a very real possibility with 9-3 being more realistic. Road games at Auburn (who will be much better next year), Tennessee and Notre Dam plus Florida in Jax isn’t an easy 4 game deal. Then you have to worry about losing to a team you shouldn’t, because UGA showed it was more than capable of doing that this year.
The first team to 15-0 ever!
(See what I did there?)
I’ll second that. LOL.
As many have pointed out, if a new coach doesn’t win big by Year 2, they usually don’t end up winning big at all. I’m not saying I’m expecting it, but anything less than an East title isn’t going to look good for the future. And I would add at least being competitive in the SECCG too. Barely winning a weak East division then getting blown out in the SECCG wouldn’t be a huge step forward in my opinion.
I mean… UGA went 7-5 this year, so winning the East and playing in Atlanta would most definitely be a major improvement. Doesn’t matter if UGA gets blasted in Atlanta or not.
I see your point……I’m just saying that let’s say we swapped places with UF this year – I wouldn’t feel drastically more optimistic about the future if we’d had their season instead of ours.
I think thats why so many people here see getting to Atlanta as the baseline. UF has been a very bad team and still won the east two years running. We should at least be able to do that.
Bulldog Gemes
A great throwaway season
Win the East or have compelling reasons why not. Demonstrate a willingness to use our talent to their best advantage.
Bill Glennon
I look at Kirby this year like I would a true freshman QB in the SEC. I think he will make good progress this year, and the game will slow down for him. However, he might not yet be seasoned enough.
Kirby is absolutely lights out in the “off the field” coaching aspects like recruiting and building enthusiasm. He has experience in these areas. His “on the field” coaching has been bad, although the D has been OK. His media and press dealings have been bad. His bad coaching areas are those that that he never handled under Saban.
Kirby has the right personality. He is a motivated, intelligent grinder. A gym rat. Those types of people are resourceful and learn from their mistakes. They figure out how to win over time. I expect we will see steady progress but not a championship for a few years.
He won’t get a “few” years
7-5 gets him at least 3-4, IMHO..
He better because no other SEC team may win a championship while Saban is still coaching. I don’t consider the SECE a championship. UGA might go to the SEC Championship game but lose to Alabama. If they do that, I will accept it till Saban retires.
Cpark58
Improved with flashes of greatness, hitting on all cylinders by whatever Florida bowl we go to. SEC East Champs or missed by a thin margin and added depth another top 5 recruiting class.
The O-Line could be a liability as it will be super young but with leadership in the RB position, more experience at QB and a more talented receiving corps, we should be much improved on offense. Next year’s line will have more upside but still be mighty young to motor-grade but now that Eason is possibly 1/3 through his career, the game should be slower for him so playbook should open up and its reasonable to expect he have the command of the offense and be better able to make changes at the line away from doomed plays.
No one is asking for an all shotgun, 5 wide, air raid spread attack. UGA can still be the pro-style, run first, wear down the defense, play action team it wants to be but Mr. Cheney will have no excuse but to adapt or die until the motor-grader is ready.
I guess I’d ask what’s going to be different? Our OL was a huge problem, will freshmen from this lights out recruiting class be enough to fix that problem? As this blog has noted, our general offensive approach has been… undynamic. Is there reason to think that will change? Is there someone in-house who can help develop Eason into the QB we all want to see? For everyone calling for the 10/11 win season this year, I’d ask why specifically you think you’ll see improvement?
Because we won’t be playing a true freshman, 18 year old QB?
it’s reasonable to expect an improvement between year 1 and 2 as everyone becomes more comfortable with everything. It ain’t like UGA’s offense was prolific or dynamic before Cheney got there and he wrecked it.
FarmerDawg
So yur sayn there’s a chance?
RCBRick
Talent improves, but Chaney is still calling the O and Kirby is still in over his head. 50/50 shot we win a bad east, and could win anywhere between 4 and 11 games, because that is just how football is, but it would be surprising if UGA finishes top 15 in S&P+. I’m guessing somewhere around 30th.
I don’t expect anything. If they take a leap forward, Smart may end up being a good hire. If not, he’ll probably be fired a year or two later.
SEC East champs and at least nine wins in the regular season. Anything less is going to put Kirby and staff on the hotseat – and considering the 2017 schedule, rightfully so.
I think we need to see some dramatic improvement. Having said that, we could easily still lose three games while playing vastly better than last year. We need to see the things we were promised THIS year: no face plants, attention to detail and a team that gives it’s best effort on every play of every game. It would also be nice NOT to see the coaches stubbornly insisting on pounding square pegs into round holes.
There’s not a loss on that schedule, but there are 5 tough games. We would have expected not less than 10 – 2 with an East Division title pre-Kirby. Given all of the issues this coaching staff needs to overcome, I think they come up one game short at 9 – 3 and miss winning the East again.
I don’t expect an SEC championship next season because (1) Jim Chaney will still be calling the plays and developing the offensive game plan and (2) I’m not bullish on the offensive line play being championship quality. After saying that, I expect what we got in year 2 of the previous guy … an appearance in Atlanta and a team that fights like mad and lets the chips fall where they may. If there’s not an appearance in Mercedes Benz Stadium on the first week of December, someone’s seat is going to be hot entering 2018.
I think with our talent and schedule 9-3 would the expectation given a perfectly average coaching job. So I expect we’ll go 8-4. I expect we’ll be unhappy with that.
Beat Tech and don’t ruin my trip to Chicago.
We are going to ND as well. I sure hope the restaurants aren’t the highlight of the trip.
Ditto. Already booked our house in South Bend for the weekend.
Have you been to South Bend? It’s not Athens.
We’re flying to Chicago Thursday, Cubs day game on Friday, partybus to and from ND on Saturday, Chicago fun until Wednesday. Is there a Ferris Bueller tour?
We’re staying in Chicago as well. South Bend is a beautiful campus but rather isolated.
I’ve not been to South Bend, but have a few alumni friends here in Atlanta recommending things to do. If nothing else, we’ve got a large enough crowd to have a good time in our house before and after the game.
We’re flying into Chicago on Thursday and thinking about catching that Cubs game on Friday as well. Haven’t decided if we’re renting a car or taking a train to South Bend from Chicago. I’m certain there’s got to be a Ferris Bueller tour if you search for it. The wife and I are heading back to Chicago later that month for a wedding so not planning on spending much time there after the game other than to fly home.
More Arizona, Less Colorado.

To you South Bend Travelers, I am looking to go in on a house for my UGA Junior son and myself.

Beat Florida
Win the SEC East.
Beat Tech
Competitive game in SEC Championship
Seems like most folks would be happy if we got to the SEC Championship game…and got beat.
If that’s the happy spot, wtf did we go through all this drama and pain for?
I more or less understand the process, that next year should be better than this year and I can almost guarantee that next year will be better than this year.
But that’s hardly the point, is it?
I will not be happy next year or any year we are not playing in the national championship game and winning it.
Oh, silly Scorpio, don’t you know Smart needs to time to purge the losing mentality that Richt instilled in the program for all those years?
Its not a losing mentality Kirby is trying to correct, it’s a mentality of doing just enough to get by is what he’s trying to root out of program.
Yep, fourth-most wins in the nation from 2001-2015 = just barely scraping by. Kirby has indeed put a stop the mentality that produced those results, whatever it was.
How many championships of any kind do we have to show for all of those years?
Two SECS, five east titles, but yeah, no rings.
About the same as any team not coached by guys named Meyer or Saban
2 SEC titles in 15 years while sitting in the 4th best recruiting state in the country. Yeah that’s really lighting it up there champ. Keep dancing to that 10 win drumbeat.
Yeah I’d take 10 wins in a heartbeat right now. You?
Most of them wouldn’t. For a lot of people, an 11 win season with a 3-1 or 4-0 record against rivals that doesn’t result in a title might as well be a 0 win season. I don’t get it personally, seems like a miserable way to live your life, but they’re calling the shots for our program now.
Tim in Sav
Rick……he’s gone, get over it. He had 15 years to get the job done and he didn’t(notice I didn’t say couldn’t) Mark Richt is a great man and a good coach but he’s gone. Lets give Kirby at least three or four years and see what he can do.
Of course we can and should give Kirby time, but I don’t see a point in faking optimism for a situation that looked bad when the staff was hired and has only gotten worse (other than recruiting, which is going gangbusters). We’re likely to be looking for a new coach in a couple years, so we might as well remember how monstrous of a fuck-up this was and who is responsible. If that means I am not ‘letting it go’, so be it. It will be great if Kirby defies the odds, otherwise I am stoked about the guy we hire after McG is sent to the un-hireable purgatory he so richly deserves.
Not all championship game appearances are created equally. If they go 9-3 and squeak in only to be blown out, that’s a far different thing from going 12-0 or 11-1 and losing a competitive game. The latter will still only get him to a fifth year (barring a dropoff of Muschampian proportions) if he doesn’t follow it up with anything.
losing a competitive game in the SECC? You mean like 2012?
I see you didn’t read beyond that to my pointing out it wouldn’t buy him much time.
Your last sentence would make for a pretty miserable year most of the time. You’re not very happy are you? 🙂
No I am pretty happy most of the time because I don’t have unrealistic expectations about my football team.
To want any other result than a national championship for my football team is kinda stupid, no?
I am bored with all this bullshit about what is acceptable.
If 10+ wins a year for 15 years is not acceptable, then by God I want the big enchilada, the glass do hickey, the confetti bath…
To want, or expect, anything else is stupid.
It is possible to develop the right strategy, coach players to be great and play great as a team, to have the right game plan, and still lose. Consistently playing down to or losing to teams with inferior talent has been the UGA way recently. I believe we all expect that to change quickly, and starting next year.
I have seem many teams in many sports get to a championship game for the first time (players and/or coaches – not ever), play extremely well, and not quite have that secret sauce to win while playing under that pressure. I’ve also seen those teams and coaches come back the second time and kill it.
From my own comment, that’s what I meant by competitive in the championship game.
Guess we will know more about the secret sauce tonight, huh?
Looks like they found it.

“It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose. That is not a weakness; that is life.”
-Jean Luc Picard.
Picard was the defensive coordinator at one of those Mississippi junior colleges, right?
Picard was no James T. Kirk! And he had drenched accent. Not that there is anything wrong with that. 🙂
Well, we were in the driver seat for that in 13 14 and 15 but flunked even that test.
If we could get a little improvement along the O line, I don’t see why we shouldn’t be able to beat anyone on the schedule. I expect we lose a game or two but get to Atlanta and play a competitive game. I don’t “expect” to win in Atlanta, but even if its Bama we play, it should be competitive into the fourth quarter.
Compete in every game. Beat Florida. Win the SEC East. Finish the year looking like 2018 will be special. This is what I expect.
Those are pretty reasonable expectations. Well stated.
We really, really have to get back to beating Florida on a regular basis. The importance of that cannot be overstated.
Totally agree … 1990 was a long time ago.
I think that is the key as well. Not only do we need to beat them, but we need to kick the shit out them and get used to doing it. The road to Atlanta for us always runs through Jacksonville.
Absolutely … The OBS brought that mentality to Gainesville when he showed up. We need to kick them in the teeth. I’m still not sure Kirby gets it based on his team’s performance in Jacksonville this year, but it was a throwaway year.
All of you predicting or wanting big years forget we play at UT this year and you can expect some devastating injury to come out of that,
We should take a forfeit in K ‘Ville, either that or refuse to play anyone on the two deep. They’ll be fighting hard to defend their 2016 Life Championship and we can’t risk the knees of our kids.
I expect UGA to be a strong favorite to win the East, and would be disappointed if they don’t make it to Atlanta. While I don’t expect any/many more votes for us to be in the Top 10 next year, we should start somewhere around 15th as a consensus rating, and could be competitive with all teams by the end of the year. Biggest question marks are OC deficiency, whether Eason makes good strides, and whether we get better with in-game management issues (timeouts, challenge communication issues, and personnel groupings.)
Last year I was overly optimistic at 8 1/2 wins, but next year I see 10-2 as the most likely record, assuming no surprise changes before September. This is based on returning personnel, and a soft schedule of opponents, more than us having closed the gap from a team rated in the 60s last year to a Top 15 team by September.
What is a ‘great leap’? I don’t know, but I fully expect us win the East. Can we compete with the West in the SECCG? If compete means not get embarrassed then I think we might be able to do that. Win it all the next year (2018). By the way, if we can get tickets, we’re going to South Bend – I actually think we are going to win that one.
The mythical Year 2. Key juniors on offense a defense returning, coupled with a slew of talented, experienced freshmen & sophomores who have shown great early promise. Back-to-back elite recruiting classes to add depth. A weak division and a relatively easy schedule. Everything is set-up to make this another in a long line of national championship caliber “Year 2’s”.
Given the uninspiring performance of the coaching staff and the fact that this is Georgia, I’m certainly not predicting that it will be, merely thinking that the ingredients and environment dictate that it should be a SEC-title / BCS playoff type of year. Anything less will be a disappointment. Anything less will be what Mark Richt delivered for 15-years.
Unfortunately for Kirby, he is the victim of expectations raised not by his own hand, but by the way in which he was hired and the man he replaced. Another 10-2 season where we wind up on the outside of the national championship race and again pointing to next-year might be realistic, but it is not what Kirby was hired to deliver. He was hired to be better than CMR, not simply a younger, more irritable version with very, very good, but not elite, results.
In short, 2017 is exactly the type of year, and the type of team that Kirby was hired to turn from really good-to-great. Anything less should be viewed as a huge disappointment and the cause for many tough questions to be directed at not only Coach Smart, but also our beloved AD and his cronies in the hydration business.
Rocksalt
With next year’s schedule? Win the East is the bar.
drewh07
10-2 and an SEC Championship game appearance. If Kirby doesn’t deliver that then I don’t think we have our guy.
I personally want to see the coaching staff focus on winning games over “establishing an identity”. I want to see reins loosened on Eason so he takes a few more chances, like throwing a deep ball that his receiver can catch rather than worrying too much about a turnover. I want to see CPJ make excuses of why he can’t beat Georgia in Mark Richt field. I want to see Gator tears after the Cocktail Party. I want to see Auburn smoked so badly that Gus has to answer lots of hard questions about his leadership. And I want to see the Fighting Irish get their asses whipped by the Dawgs (I hope to witness that one personally). They’ll still be a top ten team after the loss by the way. If those things happen I am pretty secure in thinking that would mean a good season.
Doggoned
My heart: We’ll beat Florida, Auburn and Tech, plus Notre Dame at South Bend, win a weak SEC East and give Bama all it can handle in Atlanta.
My head: this is CKS’s second year, following a spotty first season, and nobody should expect miracles. But it would be nice to get back at least to where Richt left us. I truly felt we regressed last season. That was a major disappointment. A repeat of that will portend a short stay in Athens for CKS.
Another throwaway. Btw, no former Saban assistant has beaten him head to head. Still.
Keep beating that drum while ignoring that Jimbo is a badass. Saban hasn’t played an assistant that has had the time, support, recruiting, etc. to build a program that can complete with him. That certainly doesn’t mean it’s not possible. It means he hasn’t run into it yet.
Season opener in 2017. Dome christening.
I doubt there is any school in the known universe that supports its football program with the gusto of the University of Ala by God Bama…really. What other school would have the consummate gall to put “having championship football” in its mission statement?
Hell, Jimbo can’t even get out of the ACC.
Except in 2013 when he won an NC with a team where every single starter was drafted. All 22.
Gawd, yer right, how quickly I chose to forget. I am suitably chastened.
Georgia is one of 3 teams in the East that expect to compete for the SECE Title most every year. Next year is no exception.
Kirby’s going to get it done.
You’re being optimistic PTC, seems like that’s not a very popular view to have around here nowadays.
Medium leap tripped up by occasional coaching learning curve events:
-Clock management trip up
– ‘Impose your will’ mentality that ends up playing against personnel strengths
– Critical bad call on offense
– Over coaching on D that leads to a devastating penalty
I expect an SEC east championship, but with perhaps some needed help from other east teams.
I expect a loss to UF until I see the rise of a game changer like Jarvis Jones. UT will be a shootout and I’ll be left wondering what happened to the high octane offense a few weeks later when they struggle due to the ‘impose your will’ mentality.
We will see flashes of greatness from the new kids that will leave us wanting more in 2018.
That’s what I expect. Would be ecstatic to be proven wrong on any or all of the above statements (except the SEC east prediction of course).
Let me add that a Group of Six Bowl would be a nice touch..we haven’t been to a bowl of that magnitude since the 07 Season…unless my memory is failing me.
Expecting a step in the right direction. The main concer being that, yes we have some awesome recruits coming in on the O-Line….but does anyone really expect them the perform at an elite level until year two?
The defense will be as nasty as we’ve seen in 10 years.
Eason will make a significant jump in year two.
Chubb and Michel are an obvious advantage.
Receiving corps will have more experience.
But that O-Line????
Expect 9-10 wins with a good shot at winning the East and a close loss in the SECCG due to a nasty Defense and an Ine that just can’t push us over the finish line. 2018 will be the year I expect a slot in the playoffs.
Max 1 loss
Win the weak SEC east
Don’t get embarrassed in the Dome
Squatch
Expect much improvement and making it to Atlanta unless there’s some major implosion. I still think Kirby’s model will yield results so I won’t be jumping off the wagon though if this doesn’t happen.
The wild card is Eason. I want to see him improve on accuracy and check downs. I can do without another season of Sony and/or Chubb jumping up and down in the flat waiving their arms with nobody with 30 yds of them.
No expectations or opinions until Jacksonville 2018. We’ll know for sure by then. As far as getting to Atlanta and losing this year or any year, there is no bigger screwover in college football than to be the loser of the SECCG. If you don’t play in it and are the next highest ranked team, you get a New Year’s 6 bowl. The SEC gives no shits about teams that aren’t from Florida or Alabama. Thus I give no shits about any teams that aren’t UGA.
The suspense of the season is one of the things that makes college football so great.
I believe we should be equal or better in all areas of the team.
QB – will be more experienced and possibly pushed by the next guy.
DL – will be more experienced and should be better
DB – many coming back with experience and pushed with new talent coming
WR – see DB
RB – needs no comment
OL – here is the big question and concern – we would have to expect to be better just because we stuck so bad this year. Pittman will have another year with the current players and the influx of all the new-improved talent coming. This will be were the offensive coaches prove they earned their pay.
K – who knows. it’s such a fickle part of the game.
We should be able to claim wins against App St and Samford now (hope I don’t regret saying that)
The trip to South Bend could be tricky but they didn’t have the best year themselves. Their best win was against Miami.
I won’t claim a win at UF until I see one.
Even though we struggled with UK and Mizzu and lost to Vandy this year I expect us to be MORE improved than they will ber next year.
USC and MissSt had bad years and I didn’t see anything to make me think they’ll improve by more than UGA.
Auburn, GaTech and UT seem to be the 3 games that could make or break the season…although I expect UT to struggle with the change at QB and we seem to have Auburn’s number. Tech is Tech.
I will go with a 10-win season but don’t know which 2 to pick as losses. All are winnable but many are lose-able. September can’t get here quick enough.

We should win the east. We didn’t fire a 9-10 win/coach, and excellent human being, for a 4-5 year rebuilding job. Considering the state of the east, winning the division isn’t expecting too much, either.
We were in a rebuilding job either way.
If offensive philosophy and offensive line play jell, and if better supported by sideline management, I would expect to play in the new dome in early December. And that would suit me just fine heading into ’18.
wewoof
If we lose to any team from the State of TN next year ,I’m going to be harder on Smart than I already am. (2) I thought we hired Smart so we could compete with the Process not just concede that we’ll never beat them in the Championship game. (3)The goal is to win the SEC and let everything else take care of itself…that has been the goal since Dooley.
lightbud
right now the SEC East pecking order is:
Until Smart starts beating those guys, he’s third tier.
NoAxeToGrind
9-3. It takes time to develop an OL, and the verdict has not yet been rendered regarding Chaney/Pittman.
9-3 would be great, I’d take it.
But how do we go from 7-5 to 9-3 with largely the same coaches, same schedule, and same players?
doiknowu
We won’t have to, Consider that UF, UT, and UGA won’t be returning their 2016 lineups intact.
Sorry, hit “enter” before adding that our returning players look to be better than UF’s and UT’s, and our entering class appears (on paper) to be better than theirs.
If UT gets Helfrich for OC, they’ll be the favorite for sure.
I’m surprised the Viles haven’t fired Booch to hire Chip Kelly.
Waiting on Gruden and Peyton to sign on.
I feel we are looking at a 6-6 or 7-5 season. Here’s why I say that.
We are a non-championship team trying to change the entire culture
without any Championships since 1980.
1- Saban struggled at Mich St to do that going 6 or 7 wins for 4 years.
2- Sweeney went from 9 wins down to 6 wins in 2nd year at Clemson.
3- Dantonio went from 7 wins down to 4 in his 2nd year.
4- Harbaugh won 9 games in his first 2 years at Stanford.
My point is it’s tough changing a culture used to non-championships, even for great coaches.
Here’s how most see it:
Top 25 finish in 2017
top 10 in 2018
Win Natl Champ in 2019
Sorry, show me a list of coach’s with that 3 year pattern.
More likely will be like:
6-8 wins in 2017
I don’t see how the heck we could lose the sec east in 2017. It would be a fail of epic proportions.
fu lost their best coach (Collins) and much of their talent. ut lost their entire offensive backfield and a few of their best defensive players. We have 7 returning starters on O, 10 on D, all the ST players except Imac, most of the backups return, and we have a huge recruiting class.
If any other team in cfb was this stocked they’d be in the top 5. But at underachievement U the nation has come to expect screw ups. If we don’t win 10 the whole organization should be scrapped.
Returning players don’t mean a lot if they don’t win but 8 games together.
Saban lost his DC and went undefeated the next season.
Oklahoma, FSU, Michigan, LSU, has good recruits every year and rarely wins a Championship.
It depends on whether Kirby Smart is the HC B-M thought he would be when they hired him or if he is the bozo he looked like during certain games this season. I am hoping for the former but I fear the latter. The former is 10-2 regular season next year. The latter is 6-6.
6-6, yep.
The losses to Vandy, Tech, and Tenn are puzzling, as were some of the close wins.
Could have easily gone 5-7.
Smart did not achieve anything in his first year in wins, for sure.
I don’t know what his record should or would be in 2017 but I do know that any UGA coach that starts his career 0-2 to Florida and 0-2 to GT will not have a long career. If by some total freak of the fates he should also lose to Vanderbilt again, he will not get to 2018. He took a team that lost some good players and was 10-3 and managed to totally waste the best backfield tandem we have had since Worley and Henderson and through stupid play calling on offense and the worst red zone defense in college football win 8. Tell me when the damn OC finally called the right runs for our offensive line in the TCU game it didn’t make you slap your forehead. 2015 and 2016 were the worst offenses since Ray Goff but at least 2015 won 10 and beat Tech.
Kirby is a stubborn guy with the sideline demeanor of Will Muschamp but apparently not the vocabulary. He better take self control lessons or he will continue to be a great assist coach for somebody sooner rather than later. He can’t continue to “coach the defense” it confuses the players. Why are we paying Tucker?
I know he’s a great recruiter but if he can’t win damn games he is just insuring that his successor will have a great lineup.
By the way Fromm has a better touch on his passes than Jacob. He does not try to knock the receiver down with the ball. Chaney better go back to QB school because I was not impressed with Eason’s matriculation of the ball down field.
I’d say with this AD, Smart could survive a 6-6 season with losses to UF, Tenn, GT, and Vanderbilt.
It’s not an AD who really knows what he’s doing.
Agree on recruiting, so what, 7-5 sux.
Agree on Fromm, hope he gets a real chance, those Stafford/Eason types get a lot of drops trying to impress people with their arm.
The AD will do what the money says do.
Senator, when are you going to post a post-mortem on the entire season?
Sometime in January.
Don’t lose to tech. Ever.
Never ever lose to Tech!
2016 we averaged 3 touchdowns and a field goal per game. In 2017 if we average 4 touchdowns and a field goal per game we should win the east and have a good year. With the talent we have coming back on both sides of the ball and the easiest schedule in memory, anything less will get Chaney fired and put Kirby on the proverbial hot seat in 2018.
I’m not overly optimistic.
I thought they should have gone 9-3 regular season. Should have won 2 of these 3 home games(UT,Vandy,GT). 10 wins should be doable next year.
DawgByte
Regular season expectation is 9-3 with a good bowl bid.
I will be pretty disappointed if we don’t win the east.
I will be satisfied if nick and Sony have noteworthy success, they deserve to be treated to quality football.
I will be surprised if we win the east being undefeated, but honestly, there is no reason to lose any of our conference games looking at our roster. Kirby needs to embrace the pressure.
The oline will be worse, losing 3 starters and special teams will be worse without IMac.
Same QB, RB’s, TE’s, and WR’s (No All SEC winners this year) who only went 7-5 and average 24 points a game.
Nothing I saw showed me Kirby knows how to play defense in the red zone. Virtually no improvement there all season.
Here’s the 6 potential losses:
Notre Dame,UT, Vandy, Auburn, UF, GT.
And that assumes you get through App State, Miss St, Mizzou, and South Carolina.
Pit Dawg
I know I’m late to the game here, folks, but we need to come to grips with a few things. As I type this, I’m watching Clemson get theirs for the first time in 35 years- and here we collectively sit- still waiting.
I am so sick and tired of the “CMR and the 10 win season argument”. Wins and losses do not tell the whole story here. Since 2008- his teams to put it mildly-underperformed and to be completely honest-sucked with the exception of one year (2012) and he chose not to spike the ball-thus losing all of his capital with the majority of constituents. His teams failed to finish in the top 25 in 4 of his last 7 seasons in Athens. The numbers of players drafted before 09 and after 09 are staggering. The 2013 recruiting class has one NFL player and he went pro in 2015. There’s this incredible misconception that the program was in good shape. It wasn’t. I know The Senator may rip me for this, but we need more realism in our fandom. Most likely another throwaway year may be headed our way- only because what we EXPECT as fans and what the players and coaches are CAPABLE of at this moment are not parallel. This team lost to Vanderbilt and Tech at home, and almost lost to Missouri, Nichols St and Kentucky. Realism stings sometimes. But what I have seen for the last 4-6 years is a collective team that was not all that good. Yes, we’ve had some great individual players who have won us some games. But generally speaking I saw nothing that gave me a confidence in our overall ability to win games we are supposed to, put inferior opponents away early, and compete with superior opponents and occasionally steal a win against them.
I get that there is a glimmer of optimism to hold onto (19 returning starters- easy schedule- the clown circus that is the SEC East to name a few olive branches). But a realistic win total for 2017 is 8-9. In other words, more football purgatory.
The Smart hire is about a total reconstruction of the football program- not some magical quick fix. There were just too many massive deficiencies to expect an immediate turnaround. How fast the program improves is going to be based on how well he accumulates talent and develops the talent into elite players. He learned this “process” from one of the best. If he can’t perform, he will be excused and we will find another poor sucker to try to get us back to the glory days. But the further I grow away from the 10 year old who watched us play on that glorious New Year’s Day I become less and less convinced that it’s possible. Nevertheless, it ain’t next year.
I know The Senator may rip me for this, but we need more realism in our fandom.
Quite the contrary. I’ve noted the “we’re Georgia” attitude that a substantial portion of the fan base subscribes to and found it unrealistic.
That being said, I think you’re overcompensating. Richt certainly had his flaws, some of which were of a magnitude that justified a change, but “massive deficiencies” over the past 4-6 years? Come on, man, there were two trips to the SECCG in that time period and the 2013 team would have made a third but for the rash of injuries on offense.
Unless you mean by that phrase “not in the same league as Alabama”. But it’s not like Georgia was alone in that regard.
Don'tStandSo
Next year will be a disappointment and the year after and the year after that and so forth and so on until Kirby is fired. Kirby has no clue what he is doing. Hopefully, we will hire a proven head coach from a smaller school next time, not another untested coordinator.
RLJ
Improvement–possibly an Eastern Division title–but no conference title. At least 10 wins. It is year 3 of the Kirby era that I say championship or bust.

Also known as: Concussion Testing
At Providence, we use concussion assessments like ImPACT in order to efficiently diagnose and treat mild traumatic brain injuries. Our doctors are able to determine the severity of brain trauma for those who suffer from concussions, giving them the ability to make decisions about their health and well-being with reliable certainty.
What Is ImPACT?
Possible Complications and Side Effects
ImPACT stands for Immediate Post-Concussion Assessment and Cognitive Testing.
The test consists of a baseline assessment given to an athlete at the start of their season and then again when a concussion is suspected. Should an injury to the head occur to the athlete at any point, the subsequent ImPACT brain function tests are immediately administered and compared to the results of the baseline.
The test helps determine the risk of concussion and allows athletes and healthcare providers make accurate and effective clinical decisions, especially when it comes to athletes returning to play.
While traditional neurological imaging procedures such as CT and MRI are helpful in identifying serious brain injuries such as skull fractures and hematomas, they are ineffective at identifying the functional effects of the brain after a concussion.
This is where ImPACT can help. ImPACT measures subtle changes in cognitive functioning that cannot be accurately measured by relying on an athlete to report symptoms.
ImPACT can help answer difficult questions about an athlete’s readiness to return to play or return to school, protecting them from the potentially serious consequences of returning too soon.
The ImPACT test is a simple 25-minute computerized neurocognitive test. It’s administered at the start of the sports season or employment period and then again immediately after a head injury.
The test is easily accessible, available in many languages and taken with either a computer or tablet.
The baseline exam consists of questions that objectively measure neurocognitive brain function in key areas affected by brain trauma such as:
Sustained and selective attention time
Non-verbal problem solving
Verbal and visual memory
When the test is complete, ImPACT produces a comprehensive report with the results of your test. This pre-season baseline test report is stored in ImPACT’s secure server and available to doctors if a concussion is suspected.
Should an injury to the head occur, a post-injury test is immediately administered to see if the results have changed from the baseline. This comparison helps to identify and manage the severity of the concussion.
The follow-up test includes questions similar to the baseline, as well as questions regarding concussion symptoms and the injury itself. The quick test allows the patient to create an immediate injury report to accurately capture the details of the head injury.
ImPACT is not a surgical procedure or brain scan. It is administered just like a standardized school exam. While there are no risks involved in receiving an ImPACT assessment, failure to do so after an injury can be life threatening.
More often than not, symptoms of concussions are difficult to determine. Concussion symptoms can include: consistent pressure headaches, fatigue, poor balance, memory loss, confusion, eyesight problems and nausea. The goal of ImPACT is to detect any sign of possible concussion and manage symptoms before they worsen.

Ontario reports 1824 new COVID-19 cases, including 10 in greater Kawarthas region – kawarthaNOW.com
Here’s an update on COVID-19 cases in Ontario as well as in the greater Kawarthas region.
Ontario is reporting 1,824 new COVID-19 cases today, although this number includes 127 cases from Middlesex-London Health Unit reported over the previous three days that, due to a data processing error, were not included in previous daily reports. The average number of daily cases over the past seven days has increased by 49 to 1,769.
There are 10 new cases to report in the greater Kawarthas region, with the total number of active cases decreasing by 5 to 99.
Most of the new cases reported today are in Peel (592), Toronto (392), York (187), and Middlesex-London (127). The cases in Middlesex-London, which are the total cases reported over the past three days, work out to an average of 42 cases per day.
There are double-digit increases in Waterloo (87), Halton (68), Windsor-Essex (62), Durham (57), Hamilton (56), Ottawa (41), Niagara (25), Wellington-Dufferin-Guelph (23), Eastern Ontario Health Unit (19), Thunder Bay (13), and Simcoe Muskoka (11), with smaller increases in Huron Perth (9), Southwestern Public Health (8), Hastings Prince Edward Public Health (7), and Leeds, Grenville & Lanark (6).
The remaining 15 health units are reporting 5 or fewer new cases, with 6 health units reporting no new cases at all.

Of today’s cases, 54% are among people under 40 years of age, with the highest number of cases (728) among people ages 20 to 39 followed by 499 cases among people ages 40 to 59. With 1,541 more cases resolved since yesterday, the percentage of resolved cases remains unchanged at 84.8%. The average positivity rate across Ontario has decreased by 0.3% to 4.4%, meaning that 44 out of every 1,000 tests performed were positive for COVID-19 on December 2.
Ontario is reporting 14 new COVID-19 deaths today, including 11 in long-term care facilities. Hospitalizations have increased by 10 to 666, with 12 additional patients with COVID-19 admitted to ICUs and 1 additional patient on a ventilator.
A total of 52,873 tests were completed yesterday, and the backlog of tests under investigation has increased by 8,746 to 58,320.

None of the reported new cases in child care settings are in the greater Kawarthas region.
There are currently 99 active cases in the greater Kawarthas region, including 39 in Hastings and Prince Edward counties, 28 in Northumberland, 23 in Peterborough, 8 in Kawartha Lakes, and 1 in Haliburton.
Since the pandemic began in the greater Kawarthas region, there have been 221 confirmed positive cases in the Peterborough area (193 resolved with 5 deaths), 203 in the City of Kawartha Lakes (176 resolved with 32 deaths), 101 in Northumberland County (72 resolved with 1 death), 27 in Haliburton County (26 resolved with no deaths), and 156 in Hastings and Prince Edward counties (114 resolved with 5 deaths). The most recent death was reported in Peterborough on November 23.
Province-wide, there have been 121,746 confirmed cases, an increase of 1,824 from yesterday.

Home News News Flashes A little Bowling History
A little Bowling History
The origins of bowling can be traced back about 4,000 years to Ancient Rome and Greece. There is evidence of earlier origins claimed by British Anthropologist Sir Flinders Petrie. In Egypt in 1930 he and his team of archaeologists unearthed a collection of objects from a small child's grave that appeared to have been a primitive form of the game.
About 2,000 years ago a similar game evolved. It entailed tossing stone objects as close as possible to other stone objects. This game became popular with Roman Soldiers, and eventually evolved into Bocce, or outdoor bowling.
Modern bowling also has roots in old German religious ceremonies from circa 300 A.D. This is most likely where today's pins were introduced. Parishioners were instructed to place their kegels, (a pin-resembling item that most Germans carried for protection and sport), at the end of a long lane. They then had to roll a rock at the kegel. If they knocked the kegel over, their sins were absolved. Martin Luther was an avid bowler, and set up a couple of lanes in his back yard so that he and his children could enjoy it as a sport.
Bowling was started in England in the early 1100's. By the 1300's there were several variations such as half-bowls, skittles, and ninepins. During the reign of King Henry VIII the game gained popularity and was played as a symbol of nobility and social status.
During the 17th century English, Dutch, and German settlers imported their own version of bowling to America. At that time the game consisted of nine pins. In 1841 Connecticut banned the game due to gambling implications. So, some smart lad added a tenth pin and renamed it bowling to keep the sport alive. The extra pin and the new name gave bowling a new lease on life.
During the late 1800's more standardized rules were put into play and bowling became a competitive sport. In 1901, the National Bowling Congress held it's first championship tournament. As the sport grew, innovations such as bowling balls with drilled holes, and automatic pinspotters revolutionized the sport. The Professional Bowlers Association was formed and went on tour in 1959.
Today, more than 60 million Americans enjoy bowling at least once a year. There are several variations of the game depending on ball and pin size, including duckpins and candlepins.

Join us in Calgary, Alberta for the 19th IPNA Congress
The Canadian Association of Paediatric Nephrologists (CAPN), representing the 14 centers in Canada, invites you to visit Calgary in September 2022 to attend the 19th Congress of the International Pediatric Nephrology Association. Our team at the Alberta Children’s Hospital (University of Calgary) has provided full pediatric nephrology care for 25 years; our researchers have taken a leadership role in the pan-Canadian study of Nephrotic Syndrome. We are delighted to have this opportunity to meet colleagues from around the world and focus on how to improve the health of children and young adults with kidney disease. The 2022 IPNA Congress program will include clinical and scientific presentations as well as interactive workshops and we look forward to sharing more details with you as we develop the program.
The Congress will take place at the TELUS Convention Centre located in downtown Calgary within easy walking distance of the host hotels and local attractions. Take a stroll along the pedestrian friendly Stephen Avenue for some shopping, visit one of the many restaurants or walk a short distance to the pathways along the Bow River, a world-renowned destination for fly fishing adventures. Calgary is a safe, clean and accessible city with an exciting culinary scene. We are located next door to the Canadian Rocky Mountains the Canadian Badlands and five UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

We are very excited to host and welcome you to our vibrant city and look forward to seeing you in Calgary in 2022!
A statement from the Canadian Association of Paediatric Nephrologists on recent issues of racism.
Along with many of you, we have watched the events of the past week unfold in the United States, events which are compounding an already challenging time. We want to acknowledge firmly and explicitly that while the issue of anti-Black racism is at the forefront in the US, we cannot ignore that this reality exists here in Canada, and right in our own community.
Violence and discrimination against Black, Indigenous, and racialized peoples is embedded in all aspects of our Canadian society which unfortunately includes the health-care system. We have work to do. CAPN values and is strengthened by the diversity in our community and we are well suited to serve as a role model.
Addressing the issue of racial inequality is on all of us. It is our collective accountability not just to identify as anti-racist, but to do the work. Demonstrating through our words, actions, and behaviours, that we will not tolerate acts of racism in our community is the only way to effect positive, meaningful change. Please take a moment to think about your own position, what privilege you may have, and ways that you can make a difference. We are hopeful that together as a community, this issue will continue to be acknowledged as change will not happen alone..
Join us in acknowledging George Floyd, one of the many victims whose lives have been lost or irrevocably altered by systemic racism. We are deeply saddened that it has taken the death of yet another human life to move our collective conversation to a level that we hope may bring us closer to a more peaceful, equitable society.
CAPN Executive
"Improving paediatric medications: A prescription for Canadian children and youth" white paper released in collaboration with Canadian Pediatric Society and Rosalind and Morris Goodman Family Pediatric Formulations Centre
The Canadian Pediatric Society and Goodman Family Centre Pediatric Formulation Centre, in collaboration with many pediatric stakeholders, including the Canadian Association of Pediatric Nephrology, released a white paper on pediatric medication equity, published in the Journal of Pediatrics and Child Health. The paper outlines an approach to creating equity in access to medications in Canada for pediatric patients, including recommendations for future regulatory systems and research focus.
Update for Canadian Cystinosis Patients
CAPN has recently been informed that Cystagon will undergo a Health Canada review for approval in Canada, making the drug available to Canadian cystinosis patients through regular prescription. The manufacturer has stated that the market price of Cystagon will be no higher than 1/3 of the cost of Procysbi. We will post updates on the progress of the application as it comes available.
Ongoing advocacy efforts regarding Procysbi and special access restrictions for Cystagon
Many patients and pediatric nephrologists were concerned to hear access to Cystagon through the Health Canada Special Access Program was restricted earlier this year with the approval of Procysbi for marketing in Canada for treatment of infantile nephropathic cystinosis. Procysbi underwent a common drug review through the Canadian Agency for Drugs and Technologies in Health (CADTH), which recommended funding Procysbi through the Provincial Drug Monitoring Boards, if there was a "significant cost reduction" in the proposed market price. To date, no province has confirmed that they will fund the higher cost of Procysbi. Several efforts have been ongoing to address this specific issue of access to medication:
1. CAPN has posted a letter to Health Canada detailing our concerns regarding the ability to lock out a less expensive therapy that is meeting the needs of many patients with nephropathic cystinosis. Since that time, the Health Canada Special Access Program (SAP) program has been very helpful in assisting clinicians throughout the country transition our patients with nephropathic cystinosis to Procysbi. Physicians should be aware that Cystagon is still available through SAP for patients who meet the following criteria:
G-tube fed with small tubes
Receiving sodium bicarbonate
Patients who do not meet these criteria cannot access Cystagon through SAP because Health Canada has strict regulations which they must abide for fair market competition.
2. Cystagon has never gone through the approval process in Canada. It is important for physicians to know that if we are prescribing a non-Health Canada approved medication i.e: Cystagon, we are liable if there was ever a medical error in the fabrication of the medication.
We encourage clinicians to contact the Health Canada SAP program if they want their patients to be eligible for Cystagon. To our knowledge, no patient has been left without treatment.
CAPN recently was contacted by the new distributor of Cystagon regarding marketing of Cystagon in Canada. Cystagon has been sold to a company who is already working in rare diseases in Canada and there is a will to have Cystagon approved by Health Canada. Approval of Cystagon for marketing in Canada will allow families and physicians to decide which medication is best to control their disease. However, it does not guaranty that the cost of Cystagon will remain lower than Procysbi. We will keep you updated on the situation but it may take time.
In addition, Pediatric Nephrologist Dr. Julian Midgley from Alberta Children's Hospital was featured on a March 10, 2018 online CBC article advocating on this issue and its impact on patient well-being.
CAPN has also joined a consortium of organizations concerned about formulary fairness for children in Canada, led by the Goodman Centre for Pediatric Formulations and the Canadian Paediatric Society. Together, we aim to bring issues affecting equity and access to pediatric medications in Canada to the forefront.
CAPN strongly supports that all patients with infantile cystinosis receive coverage for cystine-depleting agents by all provinces and territories. This is life sustaining therapy. All efforts should be made that the medication is competitively priced and that choices exist that allow concomitant bicarbonate therapy in pre-transplant patients.
The Canadian Childhood Nephrotic Syndrome Project
CHILDNEPH recruitment centres across Canada
We are undertaking a unique, national longitudinal cohort study of patients with steroid sensitive nephrotic syndrome and of the treatment practices of physicians caring for these patients. Our study will help us understand the association of nephrotic syndrome treatment variation with relapse rates experienced by patients. All children who present to pediatric nephrology clinics with a clinical diagnosis of nephrotic syndrome are eligible for enrollment. Twelve pediatric nephrology centres in Canada are participating. Talk to your nephrologist if you are interested in joining the study. You can talk to the study team by This email address is being protected from spambots.

Bellhop Is Hiring 4,000 Movers Across 23 States
August 5, 2020 by The Penny HoarderLeave a comment
It’s peak moving season. Know what that means? Jobs.
On-demand moving-service startup Bellhop is recruiting an estimated 4,000 movers and drivers, who are independently contracted gig workers, by the end of the year. The coronavirus pandemic may have tampered relocation plans earlier this moving season, which runs April to September, but the company says demand has been spiking in recent months.
“Americans are still having to move. Whether it’s due to the end of a lease or they are renting or purchasing a new home, they need help,” said Luke Marklin, CEO of Bellhop, in a press release. “This also means we have work opportunities for those impacted by layoffs and pay cuts.”
According to Marklin, the company — founded as a college business in 2011 — has seen rapid growth in demand for moving services lately and is proud to be adding more work opportunities, as the overall economy shrinks at a record-breaking rate.
Types of Gigs at Bellhop
Bellhop provides two main app-based gigs: mover and driver. Each role has very different job requirements.
To qualify as a mover, you must:
Be at least 18 years old.
Have a smartphone, bank account and reliable transportation.
Be able to pass a background check.
According to the company’s website, movers make up to $21 an hour, including tips and bonuses. Mover reviews on Indeed and Glassdoor indicate a flat hourly rate between $13 and $16 per hour without those add ons. The company also pays 30 cents per mile after the first 15 miles.
Apply here to become a mover.
In the app store, don’t confuse Bellhop, the moving app, with a ride-sharing app of the same name.
Requirements for drivers are a little steeper. You’ll need:
An owned or leased 16- to 26-foot box truck that’s registered with the Department of Transportation.
Moving equipment.
$1 million in liability insurance.
$25,000 in cargo insurance.
A smartphone.
An ability to pass a background check.
The company’s website states that as a driver, you are only required to show up on time and drive. During the loading and unloading process, you can “read, watch Netflix, or call a friend.” And get paid for that downtime. Drivers can earn more than $40 an hour, the company said in a press release.
Apply here to become a driver.
Pay for both positions comes via weekly direct deposits.

Seafood, fish products from Madridejos remain in demand amid pandemic
By: Morexette Marie B. Erram - Multimedia Reporter - CDN Digital | November 29,2020 - 02:03 PM
Workers in a seafood processing plant in Madridejos town in northern Cebu are working double time to meet the demand for seafood products abroad. CDN Digital | Morexette Marie B. Erram
BANTAYAN ISLAND, Philippines — The coronavirus crisis has adversely affected nearly all sectors in Cebu, both small and large-scale.
But in the sleepy town of Madridejos, located approximately 140 kilometers northwest of Cebu City, fisherfolks are still working double time to meet the demand for seafood and other sea products.
Madridejos, a fourth-class municipality that comprised Bantayan Island, was part of the three-day Suroy-Suroy Sugbo in Bantayan from November 27 to November 29.
Part of the three-day event was a visit to a seafood processing plant in the town’s Barangay Poblacion which gained reputation for exporting large quantities of scallops and crab meat abroad.
Mayor Salvador dela Fuente told guests during the tour that their fishing industry was spared by the effects of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic except for some minor concerns.
“There were really difficulties in transporting the fish especially when strict border controls were put in place but eventually, these problems slowly disappeared when border controls were loosened,” said Dela Fuente.
He said that fishermen and suppliers, during the pandemic, utilized the internet and social media on marketing their products to sustain high demand.
The mayor, who also happened to own a seafood processing plant, said the entire town continues to export up to 60,000 kilograms of scallops to the United States per month, and two tons of crab meat per day.
Madridejos, a town with a population of roughly 36,900 people based on the 2015 census, relies on fishery as one of its major economic drivers.
Crabs harvested to process and export crab meat are sourced within the municipal’s seawaters.
They will be brought immediately to the plant where workers declaw them, and with the help of sharp, thin knives, carefully pull the meat from inside in one piece.
“The extracted crab meat are then placed inside small plastic containers and will be transported to Cordova where they will be pasturized, ready for export,” explained Dela Fuente.
Most of the crab meat and scallops from Madridejos are used for export, added Dela Fuente, and only a few portions are sold in local markets.
“Seafood products sold in the local markets are fish,” he said. /dbs

Union Captures National Title in Philly
Published on April 13th, 2014
by Mike del Tufo
The NCAA title game came down to a battle between Union and Minnesota. Union prevailed in a high-scoring affair 7-4.
Flyers draft pick Shayne Gostisbehere led the way for Union as he scored a goal, two assists, and was a +7. On his play, Union head coach Rick Bennett said, “A plus-7 is pretty staggering. Maybe some of the plays he wasn’t really a part of, but just his presence out there does create something, because you’ve got to be aware. That’s the sign of a great player.”
Union captain Mat Bodie on Gostisbehere said, “He’s a big-time player, and this is the biggest game of our lives and he really stepped up. He’s the motor tonight that really got us going. That first goal was a great individual effort and it really got us going. So he’s been tremendous all year for us.”
For this game, Colin Stevens started in net for the Union and Adam Wilcox for the Minnesota.
19 seconds into the game and Union went on the power-play as Minnesota was called for roughing. They were unable to convert and Minnesota responded by scoring at 2:37. Justin Kloos had the goal. Union went on the power-play again soon after and peppered Wilcox with shots. They applied tremendous pressure but were unable to score. Minnesota finally got a power-play of their own when Gostisbehere was called for holding. It was a strong kill for Union who followed that up with the tying goal at 9:26 when Gostisbehere sliced through the Minnesota defense and snapped it in. Minnesota came right back at 10:03 when Sam Warning fired a tough angle shot that found its way in. A wild scramble in front of Minnesota’s net at 15:09 resulted in Union tying it 2-2. Mike Vecchione scored the goal. Union would score twice more before the end of the period to take a 4-2 lead. Eli Lichtenwald scored for Union at 16:06 and Daniel Ciampini, who had a hat-trick in the semifinal, at 17:03. It was a wild 1st period of play!
Minnesota Taylor Cammarata lifted the puck over Stevens at 1:13 of the 2nd period to pull them to within 4-3. Play finally settled down after this. Both goalies made some big saves as the period progressed.
Union was not content to sit on their lead. They continued to push the puck up the ice. Max Novak tipped it in at 5:31 of the 3rd period to restore Union’s 2-goal lead. Minnesota took some bad penalties that helped Union control play. Minnesota got one back at 16:20 when Hudson Fasching scored on the power-play. A great defensive play by Gostisbehere then led Union the other way and Kevin Sullivan scored at 18:38 to make it 6-4. Union closed out the scoring with an empty-net goal.
Gostisbehere on the title win said, “I noticed the Union faithful out there for sure. I saw the fans in the stands, and they looked pretty happy. My mom was crying, of course. It was really awesome. It feels like we’re dreaming right now, but sometimes dreams come true.”
This was Union’s 1st ever ice hockey championship.

If Van der Waals was a neural network
At some point in history a lot of thought was put into obtaining the equation:
R*T = P*V/n
The ideal gas equation we learn in kindergarten, which uses the magic number R in order to make predictions about how n moles of an “ideal gas” will change in pressure, volume or temperature given that we can control two of those factors.
This law approximates the behavior of many gases with a small error and it was certainly useful for many o' medieval soap volcano party tricks and Victorian steam engine designs.
But, as is often the case in science, a bloke called Van der Waals decided to ruin everyone’s fun in the later 19th century by focusing on a bunch of edge cases where the ideal gas equation was utter rubbish when applied to any real gas.
He then proceeded to collect a bunch of data points for the behavior of various gases and came up with two other magic numbers to add to the equation, a and b, individually determined for each of the gases, which can be used in the equation:
RT = (P + a*n^2/V^2)(V – n*b)/n
Once again the world could rest securely having been given a new equation, which approximates reality better.
But obviously this equation is not enough; indeed it was not enough in the time of Van der Waals, when people working on “real” problems had their own more specific equations.
Humans gather data and construct equations for the behavior of gases exist, the less error prone they have to be, the more niche and hard to construct (read: require more data and a more sophisticated mathematical apparatus) they become.
Let’s assume that Van der Waals (or any other equation maker) does all the data collection which he hopes will have a good coverage of standard behavior and edge cases… and feeds it into a neural network (or any other entity which is a good universal function estimator), and gets a function W.
This function W is as good, if not better than the original human-brain-made equation at predicting the behavior of gasses and fitting the collected data.
The way this function would work, assuming it was build using a neural network, would be something like:
W(V,T,n,gas) => P
Or maybe another function:
W(P,V,n,gas) => T
We got rid of R, a and b and replaced them with a simple categorical variable, gas (the name of the gas which is being modeled). The network, having each set of observations labeled with the respective gas they came from, learns how that gas behaves, and build its own equivalent of the magic number R, b and a into it’s weights and biases.
For one, this would wreak havoc in our education system, people could no longer be expected to know the Van der Waals equation and solve it on a blackboard for a given a, b and R. If we did this for all the “laws” of physics people might even start questioning why they have to learn this silly “math” contraption to being with, since all they are doing is feeding variables into a computer.
But on more steel-man-ish note, one would argue that this approach would stifle the progress of science. Since, after all, one can look at the Van der Waals equation and infer two things:
a) How you could come up with a better equation.
b) What data one would need to gather for that equation to be relevant, based on the places where the Van der Waals equation seems to produce results which “look odd” or conflict with experimental data.
Can we distill the role of humans in science to data-gatherers?
Humans are great platforms for interacting with the physical reality around them; we’ve had billions of years to optimize us to do things such as grabbing, pouring, slashing, smashing and moving in an incomprehensibly large range of environments. I would never dare argue with this point and I think people building humanoid robots are basically up against an almost impossible task (though I am often amazed by their achievements).
What I would argue is that humans might not be that good at doing math. If there was any evolutionary pressure to do math, it came very recently into our development. People that can intuitively do movements which a bleeding-edge robot couldn’t dream of, fail at the most basic of mathematical tasks which the tiny computer inside my fridge would find laughably easy.
Yet for some reason people are adamant about constructing mathematical models to explain the data they observe in nature.
But presently there’s almost no examples of a task that requires numbers as inputs, and has numbers as outputs, where dozens of years of human brain work can match machine learning models.
If we look at something like protein folding: the hot-topic nowadays is not if machine learning models can beat carefully crafted algorithms based on “domain specific” human logic; it is how little data they need and how fast they can do it.
Based on my readings, there’s ample proof that the answer to both of those is “very little” (e.g. https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-019-01357-6).
The main issue in most fields, however, is that head-to-head comparison of human-made models vs machine learning models is impossible. Since the way science progresses is not by carefully collection and STORING data, it’s by collecting data, creating human-made models that explain the data, calling the almost-perfect models fact and then forgetting about the actual data.
I can’t stress how important this point is, think back to any course in physics, chemistry or biology you took and at what was discussed. Where you ever shown the data based on which we construct the picture of the underlying reality ? Or where you mainly focusing on equations and assuming those equations are equivalent to looking at the raw data.
This leads me into the above points a) and b). Namely the fact that human-made models are better because other humans can look at them and figure out where they are wrong and what data to collect in order to come up with better models.
I will concede that this is often true, but it’s true because we have a flawed epistemic perspective. In order for a machine learning model to be better than a string-theorist, it would have to understand string theory and then make some “discovery” (read: a mathematical model) that agrees with experiments previously unexplained by string theory.
However this mindset in itself is lacking, because the human models are flawed and the data that the models were built on is often not easily accessible, if at all.
Even when the underlying data is accessible, it’s usually accessible having passed through several layer of flawed human abstraction.
The result of the experiments are interpreted and stored using high level human made abstractions.
For example, we could store the results of an experiment in two different ways:
Using {power source} aimed for {time} at {material 1} we propelled particles from it into {material 2} we observed (using an electronic microscope) the effects on the crystalline lattice on x samples of {material 2}, here’s those images.
We hit {material 2} with {y} electrons at {parameters describing the energy/momentum of the electrons} and observed that it’s lattice switched from { abstraction 1 describing crystalline lattice} to {abstraction 2 describing crystalline lattice}.
Something like variant 2 is probably better if a physicist looking at the data, but maybe a “lower level” interpretation such as 1 would be better suited for an automated data-interpretation algorithm.
That’s not to say abstraction 2 is inherently worse than abstraction 1, indeed, if you go down the deconstructionist path and break down the abstractions used to understand the world as far down as you can… you end up nowhere, you end up in a philosophical void arguing with Kant and Hume about whether or not we can truly state or know anything.
I agree that any abstraction that can be designed will be flawed in some sense, but the flaws we design into our abstractions, are specifically designed by humans for humans. I think that it’s very plausible to say that if we instead designed the abstractions with automated algorithms in mind as their users (or let said algorithms design them) we might end up with some pretty different abstractions.
If all you have to go by are flawed models, rather than raw data, then a human might well do better at creating slightly less flawed models, not because humans are better model creators, but because humans understand the “context” in which those models where created.
In the few cases where easy to work with data is available to feed into a model, such as is the case with predicting folding from peptide structure, models often do better. But even in those cases, I’d argue that we disadvantage the models because they can only work with the data we provide them; they can’t ask us to provide different data, they can’t design their own abstractions and ask to receive data interpreted using those abstractions.
Our process of data gathering in itself is flawed from a ML-driven perspective, because we don’t design our models in such a way as to understand the type of data they would need to make better predictions.
I think this flaw stems from two directions.
One, the concept of ML models making inferences about the type of data they need is heavily underdeveloped. In the last year, part of my job has been tackling this very problem of models that analyze models/themselves, and I will admit I was rather surprised at the lack of research on the topic even at a fundamental level (e.g. making neural networks give a certainty for a prediction or determine the importance of a feature). The closest one can get to serious researchers tackling this problem is reinforcement learning, but it’s not clear whether those approaches would lend themselves well to the real world, where the cost of exploration is very high… it’s much cheaper for a model to play millions of DOTA2 games to get better at DOTA2, than for a model to dictate millions of hadron collider experiments to get better at physics.
Two, we are reluctant to change our approach to science to a more data-driven one. I think the idea of machine learning models dictating to scientists what kind of data they should collect is far-fetched, but I think part of why it is far-fetched is because we intuitively know that no scientist will want to be reduced to a simple data collector.
This is a cat and mouse argument, “no models that are good at figuring out what data they need are made because no humans want to do the data-gathering” and “no humans want to do model-driven data gathering because no models exist that are good at figuring out what data they need.”
An easier requirement would be to properly index and store all the data that leads to a human-made model and properly index and store all the data that leads to the models that lead to the models upon which the human-made model is designed, and so on. But even this is too much to ask, because often the old data is lost, it’s not digitized and it’s compressed in a lossy way. The experimental results might be recorded somewhere, but details about how the experiment was run are lost, or were never even recorded, because they were too complex for a human-made model to take into account.
However, what would be easy to do is play in good faith with machine learning models and do our best to at least store and properly index all data from current experiments and observations.
But maybe I’m being unfair to physics here; after all I have a poor understanding of modern physics, to my knowledge experimental physicists are actually doing their best in the modern world to store the data from their experiments and storing all the data from physics experiments is actually a complicated task; since the inception of CERN it has produced literally Exabytes of data.
Instead, let me harp on a field that’s much easier to criticize: medical research.
Are we actively hindering ML algorithms from competing with us ?
If you go into topics like cancer detection, I sometime feel like what’s currently going on is basically a charade in order to justify still using human-based assessments rather than algorithmic assessments.
There’s an abject lack of human vs algorithm-based detection trials and the few reviews that do take a comparative look at the issue. I will use this one: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2589750019301232 , as a reference and I encourage you to skim through it, I find it to be pretty good overall.
When averaging across studies, the pooled sensitivity was 88·6% (95% CI 85·7–90·9) for all deep learning algorithms and 79·4% (74·9–83·2) for all health-care professionals. The pooled specificity was 93·9% (92·2–95·3) for deep learning algorithms and 88·1% (82·8–91·9) for health-care professionals.
This is looking at an aggregate result over many conditions being diagnosed. As far as I understand the physicians and the models are not even always using the same dataset for testing.
Still, I think the results seem to be basically very promising, especially when you only consider the highest specificity & sensitivity ML algorithms, especially when you consider they would cost us a few cents and hour to run, whereas doctors cost us anywhere from 10 to 300$ an hour. Especially when you consider that this could be deployed in areas that have no access to specialized doctors to being with.
Only four studies provided health-care professionals with additional clinical information, as they would have in clinical practice; one study also tested the scenario in which prior or historical imaging was provided to the algorithm and the health-care professional, and four studies also considered diagnostic performance in an algorithm-plus-clinician scenario. It is worth noting that no studies reported a formal sample size calculation to ensure that the study was sufficiently sized in a head-to-head comparison.
I wonder why so few studies provided direct comparison with doctors, considering that most researcher I know of are delighted to test their models against some real-world benchmarks, I think it’s not unreasonable to speculate something along the lines of: “No group of oncologists/radiologists are heavily invested in running trials of themselves versus the best known machine learning models that would serve to replace their work."
Even more so, looking at review of various individual model models (e.g. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2001037014000464) you can very easily see that the amount of data they use is laughable, often as low as a few dozens of examples.
Consider the fact that 37 million mammograms are performed each year in the US. We’ve had at least 5 years since the idea that a CNN could detect cancer from medical images had strong footing. Assuming as little as 20% of those mammograms had 1-5 year follow-up, that’s bound to be a dataset of at least 37 million examples of images connected with a breast-cancer diagnosis. Indeed, if we expand this to all countries rich enough to produce sizable amounts of such data, this numbers should be in the hundreds of millions.
Yet the largest claimed dataset (from this paper: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1903.08297v1.pdf). Contains only 1.2 million images and is proprietary. The single model that was tried on this dataset claims to perform about as well as a radiologist. But imagine if we didn’t have only 1.2 million images, imagine if we had over 100 million and image if we didn’t have a single model, imagine if we had hundreds of them, if we didn’t have a single team but rather hundreds of teams working on this problem.
To me that seems like something that has so much potential it’s appalling that we aren’t doing it. After all the end result would save billions of taxpayer dollars in terms of salaries and followup procedures, prevent a sad end to countless life (often on relatively young people, since breast cancer is frequent in young demographics compared to other types of cancer) and help with early detection, possibly preventing mentally and physically scaring procedures such as mastectomies and long-term aggressive chemotherapy.
So, again, my question is:
Why is a hospital nearby me not running a trial on this algorithm ?
Why is not all the data for tackling this issue publicly available ?
Why is nobody talking about these things not happening ?
I’m not claiming there’s some evil organization of scientists or doctors actively plotting against machine learning models that can replace them.
Most of scientists and doctors are nice people that want the advancement of their fields to continue, even if that means they might have to work on less of the stuff they consider to be “fun”.
The problem is systemic: bad regulations are keeping the public from accessing useful data; bad allotment of funds and bad coordination means we don’t get the centralized data stores we should have. Bad practices mean that scientists and doctors are actively discouraged from taking a data-driven approach, where their main role is accurately producing, labeling and storing data… when was the last Nobel prize in medicine awarded to someone that put together a large and easy to use database for diagnosing DVT risk?
But I do think that there’s a very good reason to intuit that the task of building models of the world, especially mathematical models, might be better accomplished if we focused more on giving it to an ML model rather than a brain; that brilliant scientists dreaming up complex equations to explain experiments might often be a bad approach to creating ML models that learn to fit well-collected data. That doctors looking for anomalies in images their brain wasn’t design to perceive might be worst-off than a CNN classifier designed and trained for detecting that specific anomaly.
I also think that our inherent bias for man-created models rather than machine-created models is dictating a lot of the data gathering we do. In turn, his bias is dictating the kind of machine learning models we build, or rather making us uninterested in building more well-integrated models that concern themselves not only with making predictions about the data we’ve given them, but also about the kind of data we should be collecting to improve them.
The sooner we internalize the large possibility that we already have tools much better than our brains for creating a mathematical model from data, the sooner we’ll start seeing the value of data over models, and the sooner we’ll start seeing the value of properly wording a problem as opposed to just building a model that solves an ill-constructed problem.
Finally, I don’t necessarily have a solution for this, nor am I claiming that what I’m saying in this article is “obviously true”. I think I’ve taken the perspective of “machine learning is always better than humans at fitting equations on data” partially as a given; granted, I did give two examples of this seemingly being the case, but I don’t expect to significantly shift your perspective towards my view here.
What I’ve hopefully done is give a bit more context on the idea that humans might be “too focused” on building abstractions and equations, as opposed to building models that will build those abstractions and equations for us. I should have probably added more examples and more caveats, but I’m not hoping to dictate global scientific policy with this blog, I’m just hoping to offer interesting perspectives to ponder. I am not certain of this view, it’s one hypothesis playing around in my mind which I found interesting and did my best to share.

Buffy The Vampire Slayer S:03 Ep: 18
Posted on June 2, 2016 by Elwood Jones
Episode Title: Earshot
“Well, I thought I saw a four-legged demon. But it was just a dog” – Buffy
So with the Mayor still on his path to ascendtion and Faith seemingly occupied elsewhere it leaves Buffy free this week to instead get wrapped up in another one shot mystery as after being splashed with the blood of a recently slayed demon she finds herself suddenly able to hear everyone’s thoughts. However it’s not long before this new power starts to overwhelm her while worse still someone is plotting to kill the students of Sunnydale High.
Directed by Regis Kemble who would go on to also direct the opening to “Angel” while the episode would on it’s original airing would be delayed due to the Columbine High School shooting and the comparisons which could be potentially be drawn between the two in another freaky case of life unwittingly imitating art. It would be for this same reason that the Buffy novel “The Evil That Men Do” would also be delayed finally being released a year later than originally planned.
Despite the reasons for the delay this is actually a really light hearted and funny episode and one which manages throw in a lot of fun character insights such as Xander always thinking about sex…okay that one was kind of a given much like Cordelia being as shallow as we always suspected with her thoughts generally just being the next thing she is going to say. Oz meanwhile shows a much more philosophical side than his permanently laid back persona suggests as Buffy catches this dozy from his thoughts.
“I am my thoughts. If they exsist in her, Buffy contains everything that is me, and she becomes me. I cease to exist.”
It’s though this power that Buffy also finds out about Giles having sex with her mom (Twice) bringing to a close that fun little sub-plot that’s been running in the background since their misadventure in “Band Candy” and here it provides a great end note for the episode.
The episode for the most part is split solidly down the middle with the first half dealing with Buffy and her attempts to handle her new power with the second half focusing on the Scoobies misguided attempts to interrogate students who they assume could be responsible for thinking “This time tomorrow, I’ll kill you all” with their investigation soon leading Xander being mistaken for being gay once more when he interviews Larry who it seems things have worked out pretty well for since he came out, while he even brags about his grandmother trying to set him up with guys.
What is especially interesting about the episode is the idea of being able to read people’s minds having the downside of potentially being driven insane by the constant voices in her head and the general lack of control she has over whose thoughts she can read.
The climax of the episode though is what really makes this a standout episode, not only because they built a bell tower onto the school for the climax which sees Buffy confronting a rifle welding Johnathan who it turns out wasn’t planning on carrying out a shooting but rather planning to kill himself, though why he choose to use a rifle is unclear outside of wanting to really work the red herring of him being the killer instead of the school lunch lady pouring rat poison into the food. It’s equally a big risk using Johnathan for this climax especially when he’s been essentially the running punchline in the series so far, so to see him having a more meaty role here was intresting while its success no doubt being the reason his character was given more development in the episodes which followed with him even becoming a super villain for a short period towards the end of the series.
While perhaps alittle out of place this close to the end of the series to have an episode not focused on the Mayor, its forgivable just because it’s such a fun one and a great twist on a familiar theme. True they do try to keep it current by having Buffy questioning Angel over how much of his infiltration act was actually an act, but really this episode is about playing the mind reading angle and teasing out who the killer could be with the reveal via a gelatine stealing Xander is just pitch perfect.

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers S:01 E:49
Posted on October 15, 2017 by thesquonk
Episode Title: Return of an Old Friend Part 1
Original Airdate: February 28, 1994
Over the course of the last 40+ episode of Power Rangers there is one big question I’ve had, “don’t these kids have parents?” I mean think about it, giant monsters attack Angel Grove left and right, yet we’ve never seen any sign of parental units for any of our five teenage heroes. We’ve seen plenty of uncles, but no actual parents. That changes now in today’s episode, Return of an Old Friend part 1.
It’s Parents Day for Angel Grove High, but for some reason the festivities are held at the Youth Center/Juice Bar. Everyone’s parents show, even Bulk and Skull’s, but strangely Kimberly is nowhere to be seen. Turns out she’s moping outside. Her parents are divorced and she is anticipating problems. Trini comes out to assure her that both sets of parents have arrived, but just as the two girls start to go inside they are attacked by the Putty Patrol. Zack and Jason quickly go out to help, but Billy is not on sight yet. He is still working on a new invention at home.
While the rangers battle the putties, Rita takes the opportunity to zap all the parents inside off to an alternate dimension. Billy then shows up to an empty room, but Rita’s new Dramole Monster sprays him with some gas. This puts Billy under Rita’s spell. He then teleports to the command center where he disables Apha and steals the Dragon Dagger to deliver it to Rita.
The rangers then morph and teleport to Goldar’s dark dimension just as Billy is about to hand over the Dragon Dagger. A battle with the putties breaks out, but Goldar still manages to escape with the dagger. Then Goldar issues an ultimatum, he will release the parents if the rangers turn over their power coins. He then goes off to summon the Dragon Zord to start tearing up town. The zords are summoned and, though they put up a good fight, they are overpowered. Now, the rangers have no choice but to turn over their power coins to Goldar. Now, if you thought Goldar was going to keep his word…ha! Now the rangers can’t morph and the parents are still trapped. However, as the episode comes to a close Jason reveals that there is, in fact, one coin left. We then cut to the Youth center where we see a figure walk into the empty room and wonder where everyone is. He turns and reveals himself as…you guessed it, Tommy. To be continued…
This episode has a few decent elements at play but ultimately it’s all just set up to the big reveal of Tommy at the end of the episode. That is, as if we didn’t know already from the title of the episode. I’m thinking they maybe should’ve gone with something different, because the big surprise is actually no surprise at all. Still, it’s nice to see Tommy back and I’m quite anxious to see what role he has to play as this story, and the series in general, moves forward.
This episode does end up being a bit slim on the monster action. We are introduced to the Dramole monster, but only see it briefly. It spends most of the episode burrowing around underground and doesn’t really factor into the action at all. I guess the idea is that it’s like part dragon part mole?! Dra-mole? That doesn’t explain the fact that it emits a mind control mist from its armpits, though. On that subject, the bit with Billy being controlled by Rita because of this gas is one of the highlights of the episode. He even calls Alpha a “poor excuse for a transistor radio.” The moment is made all the weirder since I think the term “transistor radio” was retired sometime around 1981…we’re in 1994 here homeys.
As far as the action goes, there is a solid fight between the rangers and Goldar and his putties. This is American footage and it’s clear that the American cast is getting better with their matial arts moves all the time. The sequence is also helped by a much more animated version of Goldar. Remember, they are using a new and improved costume for Goldar in the American footage now. Plus, the actor portraying him use a bit more variety in his gestures, whereas in the Japanese footage Goldar tends to just snarl and point.
Well, obviously the fate of the parents of Angel Grove lies with one Tommy Oliver. We’ll have to wait until next time to see what happens, though? Will he get too caught up neckin’ with Kimberly to save the moms and dads? Join us next time to find out in Return of an Old Friend Part 2.

By Don Ventura, July 6, 2013
Don and Jerry are joined again by the Jason Inman (jawiin.com) for a round of comic book reviews and news discussion. Jason proves that he has more than comic knowledge to bring to the table—he’s got a flair for on-the-spot theme-song composition! So sit back, relax and enjoy some laughs, some music, and fair-ish discussion of Rob Liefeld comic books.
Cape Town Hullaballoo

Natural products with potential efficacy against lethal viruses
By Ralph Turchiano on January 5, 2021 • ( 0 )
Researchers at Scripps Institution of Oceanography and Skaggs School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences at the University of California San Diego have broken down the genomic and life history traits of three classes of viruses that have caused endemic and global pandemics in the past and identify natural products – compounds produced in nature – with the potential to disrupt their spread.
In a review appearing in the Journal of Natural Products, marine chemists Mitchell Christy, Yoshinori Uekusa, and William Gerwick, and immunologist Lena Gerwick describe the basic biology of three families of RNA viruses and how they infect human cells. These viruses use RNA instead of DNA to store their genetic information, a trait that helps them to evolve quickly. The team then describes the natural products that have been shown to have capabilities to inhibit them, highlighting possible treatment strategies.
“We wanted to evaluate the viruses that are responsible for these deadly outbreaks and identify their weaknesses,” said Christy, the first author. “We consider their similarities and reveal potential strategies to target their replication and spread. We find that natural products are a valuable source of inhibitors that can be used as a basis for new drug development campaigns targeting these viruses.”
The research team is from Scripps Oceanography’s Center for Marine Biotechnology and Biomedicine (CMBB), which collects and analyzes chemical compounds found in marine environments for potential efficacy as antibiotics, anticancer therapies, and other products with medical benefit. A drug known as Marizomib entered the final stages of clinical trials as a potential treatment for brain cancers earlier in 2020. The drug came from a genus of marine bacteria that CMBB researchers had originally collected in seafloor sediments in 1990.
The researchers, funded by the National Institutes of Health and the UC San Diego Chancellor’s Office, present an overview of the structure of viruses in the families Coronaviridae, Flaviviridae, and Filoviridae. Within these families are viruses that have led to COVID-19, dengue fever, West Nile encephalitis, Zika, Ebola, and Marburg disease outbreaks. The team then identifies compounds produced by marine and terrestrial organisms that have some demonstrated level of activity against these viruses. Those compounds are thought to have molecular architectures that make them potential candidates to serve as viral inhibitors, preventing viruses from penetrating healthy human cells or from replicating. The goal of the review, the researchers said, was to improve the process of drug development as new pandemics emerge, so that containing disease spread can accelerate in the face of new threats.
“It is simply common sense that we should put into place the infrastructure necessary to more rapidly develop treatments when future pandemics occur,” the review concludes. “One such recommendation is to create and maintain international compound libraries with substances that possess antiviral, antibacterial, or antiparasitic activity.”
To achieve that goal, the researchers realize that international agreements would need to be reached to address intellectual property issues, the rights and responsibilities of researchers, and other complex issues.
And while there has been remarkable progress in the development of vaccines for SARS-CoV-2 infection, effective antiviral drugs are also critically needed for managing COVID-19 infection in unvaccinated individuals or in cases where the efficacy of a vaccine decreases over time, the researchers said. While several candidate antiviral molecules have been investigated for use in the clinic, such as remdesivir, lopinavir-ritonavir, hydroxychloroquine, and type I interferon therapy, all have shown limited or no efficacy in large scale trials. Effective antiviral drugs are still much in need of discovery and development.

AboutGeneral Information The Chinese Language Teachers Association, Inc. (CLTA) is a professional organization devoted exclusively to the study of Chinese language, culture and pedagogy. (See our Mission Statement.) In the years since our establishment in 1962, the Chinese Language Teachers Association has both reflected and responded to changes in our students, our teachers and our world. Although approximately half of our membership is composed of specialists in Chinese language, literature, linguistics and culture teaching at colleges and universities throughout the world, we increasingly count among our membership teachers of Chinese at primary and secondary schools and Chinese community schools, as well as students of the language and other interested parties. From each of these diverse types of experts, we learn much, and can consequently give much more to all of us engaged in the learning and teaching of the Chinese language. While the focus of our organizational energy is most concretely evident in our various publications and at our annual meeting, we are constantly seeking to expand our range of service to the Chinese language teaching profession. Specifically, we are presently working on two major initiatives: (1) to act as an advocate for and facilitator of enhanced articulation among all…

The Circle is broken by heavy-handed film making
Whats in with Justin
"The Circle" explores privacy with our ever-increase use of technology. - photo by Studio photo
“The Circle” is another example of a fine cast and an intriguing premise that quickly makes its interest and potential go south and its confusion north.
It stars Emma Watson as Mae Holland, a new employee at a worldwide Internet company known as The Circle. It’s a corporation somewhat akin to the Big Brother concept: Everyone there knows anything and everything about her activities. Tom Hanks costars as the head of The Circle.
Once she joins The Circle, Holland moves up the ranks very fast with some of the ideas she brings and Hanks’ character decides to make her “transparent,” meaning that all of her activities and whereabouts will be made known 24/7. His hope is to prove that constant surveillance is proof that being watched round the clock is good.
Another subplot involves Mae’s parents financial situation with her dad (the late Bill Paxton in his final film) having MS and The Circle wants to step in and pay for his care.
John Boyega from “The Force Awakens” is a fellow employee who befriends Holland, but he starts growing suspicious about the company and believes that a sinister conspiracy is at work. Chances are, he won’t be winning employee of the month.
Based on a best-selling novel, “The Circle” loses interest quickly by having monotonous performances and pacing, and condescending with its preachy message about invasion of privacy. Nor is there any real sense of tension or jeopardy. Instead of making a thriller with some genuine spark to match its premise, it chooses to retreat to formula.
This movie never made me fear the future of technology; only copycat films like this one. “The Circle” does nothing more than run in circles.
Grade: C-
Rated PG-13 for a sexual situation, brief strong language and some thematic elements including drug use.

Go Native with Azaleas in Your Garden
Written by Stephanie R. Kuniholm

From fiery florals to blushing blooms
The deep orange-red blooms of the Plumleaf Azalea open in the summer.
When we think of azaleas, we often picture the ubiquitous, meatball-shaped shrubs with their bright pink blooms boldly proclaiming the arrival of spring.
But did you know we have our own native azaleas that are the cousins to the Asian evergreen azalea hybrids we see in every yard? Unlike their overseas counterparts, azaleas from the eastern United States are tall, airily deciduous, flaunt the most exquisite yellow, red-orange, pink or white flowers, and many are fragrant and bloom into summer.
There are 16 species of deciduous azaleas native to the East Coast and all but one (Rhodora–Rhododendron canadense) thrive here in our region.
Keep reading to learn more about a few of these regional beauties that can transform your garden.
Fiery Florals
Several of our native azaleas boast clusters of fiery yellow-orange or even red blooms, providing an eye-catching contrast against the green and brown backdrop of most home landscapes. Florida Flame Azalea (Rhododendron austrinum) is wonderfully fragrant, with bright yellow to red-orange flowers appearing just as the leaves are emerging in spring. In the wild, this species is native to the deep South but is an easy-to-grow addition in home gardens much farther north.
The latest blooming of all the native azaleas, Plumleaf Azalea (Rhododendron prunifolium) has orangey-red flowers displayed in mid to late summer, well after other azaleas have thrown in the towel. This species is quite rare in the wild and may soon be considered an endangered species. Plumleaf azaleas generally grow in wooded ravines, along streams and in mixed forests in the wild, so a site with afternoon shade will help prolong the bloom period.
Flame Azalea (Rhododendron calendulaceum) and Oconee Azalea (Rhododendron flammeum) also flaunt yellow-to-red flowers, making up for their lack of fragrance with eye-popping color.
All four of these fiery azaleas grow eight to ten feet tall and are deciduous, losing their leaves in colder months—something to keep in mind in your home garden design.
Blushing Blooms
Not all native azaleas are orange or yellow, though. Some set forth pink, blush or white blooms and often display a wide range of natural variation in their flower color. Piedmont Azalea (Rhododendron canescens) is a large, showy, multi-stemmed shrub with pink, lightly fragrant flowers appearing before the leaves have expanded in spring.
This species is the most common of the native azaleas and tends to form large colonies in moist woods in the wild. Part of its name—canescens—is Latin for “covered in white,” referring to the fuzzy hairs that cover the leaves, twigs and buds. This shrub would be a lovely accent in any landscape and is cold hardy to USDA Hardiness Zone 5.
The first of the native azaleas to bloom in the spring, Pinkshell Azalea (Rhododendron vaseyi) is known for its delicately spotted pink flowers. It’s incredibly rare in the wild, growing in bogs, thickets and forests in only four counties in North Carolina. Despite its rarity in the wild, this azalea is quite easy to grow in garden settings and provides a welcome dapple of color in early spring for local home gardeners.
The Pinxterbloom Azalea is lightly fragrant.
Pinxterbloom Azalea (Rhododendron periclymenoides) was once prolific in this region and can still be easily found while hiking here in Pennsylvania. The lightly fragrant flowers are typically soft pink, but can be nearly white or even lavender, blooming slightly before the emergence of new leaves in spring.
The common name of this species is not a reference to its color. Instead, the name pinxter translates to Pentecost (the seventh Sunday after Easter) in Dutch and refers to this species’ bloom time in the northernmost reaches of its range. Pinxterbloom opens much earlier than Pentecost here in Pennsylvania and is an easy-to-grow showstopper.
Swamp Azalea, with its sticky, hairy, tube-like flowers
If you’re looking for a smaller azalea, Swamp Azalea (Rhododendron viscosum) grows to about five feet. It has relatively small, clove-scented, white flowers tinged with pink, blooming in late spring after the leaves have expanded.
The name “viscosum” is derived from viscous meaning sticky—a reference to its sticky, hairy, tube-like flowers. It’s a fairly common species and can be seen growing in the wild from Maine to Florida and westward to Texas. As its common name suggests, this species grows best in swamps and bogs but can tolerate less wet sites with a generous layer of mulch or shredded leaves.
This is just a sampling of the incredible—and breathtaking—diversity seen in our native deciduous azaleas. For each of the species mentioned here, as well as for eight additional species, there are many cultivars offering variation in bloom color, height, fragrance, foliage color and more.
To see these magnificent native azaleas in person, visit Jenkins Arboretum & Gardens, where more than a thousand native azaleas are happily thriving. You’ll also find them at other area gardens, arboretums and specialty nurseries.
If you decide to add one of these amazing plants to your landscape, remember that they’re all happiest when planted in moist, well-drained, acidic soil with part-sun to dappled shade. Full morning sun is tolerated, but most of these azaleas would suffer in the intensity of midday sun.
Drainage is important too, so loose, highly organic soil is recommended, along with a covering of woodchip or shredded leaf mulch. As with most shrubs, water, water, water until they’re established!
Many of these azaleas can be purchased at local nurseries specializing in native plants, including the Plant Shop at Jenkins Arboretum & Gardens.
Jenkins Arboretum & Gardens is a 48-acre public garden showcasing native flora of the eastern U.S. and a world-class collection of rhododendrons and azaleas. The gardens are open every day of the year from 8 a.m. to sunset. Admission is always free. 631 Berwyn Baptist Rd., Devon. 610-647-8870; JenkinsArboretum.org.

Welcome to pandemic schooling: 'The day to day of it has been so stressful'

By Sharon Cantillon/Buffalo News
We're heading into Week Three of no school and trying to teach the kids from home.
How's that going for you?
It's been all but overwhelming for some parents.
Students are working through packets of school work as well as online assignments. Even in districts where every child has a Chromebook, parents are downloading extensions for it. Teachers, ever mindful of keeping in touch with students, are emailing students and parents, sometimes multiple times a day. Some are requiring attendance as they hold videoconferencing classes, others are sending links upon links of helpful online tools.
And while they are helping direct their children to do their school work, parents are also trying to work from home and get food on the table.
Welcome to pandemic schooling.
Buffalo teachers are grading homework while school is closed. Some suburban districts won't.
At wit's end
Things have been hectic for Daniel Goble ever since school closed almost two weeks ago. The stay-at-home Buffalo dad has a toddler, a pre-K student at International School 45, and a first-grader and second-grader at Olmsted 64.
“My background is in the legal field. I know how to write. I know how to research. I don’t know how to teach Common Core grade one and two,” he said. “I liken it to being given a bunch of Ikea furniture without directions or an Allen wrench.”
The first week school was closed, Goble tried to have his kids complete all the work they had been assigned. It did not go well. He talked to some parents who routinely – intentionally – home-school their kids, even before the virus hit. They recommended having the kids do schoolwork only two hours a day. So he’s switched to limiting schoolwork to the morning.
While it would be nice to have some guidance on teaching his kids, the onslaught of communication from the kids’ teachers has just been too much.
“There’s been a deluge, an oversaturation of resources,” he said. “Here’s some YouTube stuff, here’s a spreadsheet I made, here’s resources through the district. And then the Spanish teacher posted a video. We’ve been bombarded.”
He is pretty much at wit’s end.
Parents have an option to submit their children’s work online along the way while school is closed. He is not.
“I’m sending back all their work when school opens,” Goble said. “They can do whatever they want with it. They can look at it. They can toss it in the circular file.”
Parents are commiserating on Facebook.
Comments on the West Seneca Covid-19 Neighborhood Assistance Facebook Group track what parents are going through:
"We got on Zoom and could see people but couldn’t hear anything, kept clicking," one parent said.
"So many emails for 8th grade!! We are already behind!! My high schooler is getting less than 8th grader! I do appreciate the teachers being active, but eek!" wrote another.
"Between the emails, the remind messages and Google classroom notes, it’s very overwhelming with 3 kids. I wish the teachers would start a group email especially for the middle school teams. I know they are trying to keep all of us in the loop but it’s hard to check all the different avenues they are using. Now gym teachers and chorus teachers are sending emails and reminds. Ahhhhhh," was the response from another parent.
Too many websites
Allie MacGuire said she tries not get stressed about schoolwork for her three children. Liam, 8, is a third-grader and Arthur, 7, is in the first grade, both at Tapestry Charter School. Their younger brother, Gavin, is 4.
She writes the schedule on the chalkboard in the kitchen, and for the most part, they stick to it, although "some days are better than others," she said.
One teacher is pretty hands-off, while another sends 10 to 15 messages a day.
One teacher sent home "so much work, we'll never get through all of it," she said. Each of her sons have three websites they log into, and teachers sent home two pages of suggested websites. They haven't touched those.
"I'm not stressing about it personally," MacGuire said. "I don't feel like we have to visit all 30 websites."
A teacher at home
Kaitlyn Parrino, a social studies teacher at Sacred Heart Academy, still has a full day of teaching remotely online while trying to help her 5-year-old son, Luke, a kindergartner at Smallwood Drive Elementary School in Amherst, complete his packet of daily homework.
“It’s not hard work,” Parrino said, “but a 5-year-old in his own house doesn’t understand his routine has changed right now.”
And even though Parrino is a teacher by profession, grade-schoolers aren’t her forte – especially when they are her own. Luke knows how to push her buttons; she’s not as patient with him as she would be with her classroom students.
“We’ve had a couple good days,” said Parrino, who has a 2-year-old daughter at home as well, “but a couple really, really challenging days.”
Parrino keeps trying to remind herself it’s just kindergarten.
“The day to day of it has been so stressful,” Parrino said. “The house looks like a tornado went through it and it doesn’t matter how often you clean it, it’s always going to look like that.”
Two kids, two grades, twice the work
Jade Kirkland admits that new math is one area giving her trouble these days, as she is home teaching her two boys, Jason, a sixth-grader, and Jaden, a fourth-grader, both of whom attend schools in Buffalo.
So the family has developed a daily routine where one of the boys will work alone on a subject he is strongest in, while Kirkland helps the other in an area where he is struggling.
Then they switch.
"We're managing," Kirkland said.
Kirkland said Buffalo Public Schools did a good job pulling together a lot of material in such a short time. In fact, it’s almost too much work.
“I hate to say it that way, but yes, when you’re taking a lay person and giving them your day-to-day lesson plan ... It’s overwhelming,” Kirkland said.
“There’s a lot of content to get done in one day when you have two kids in two different grades,” Kirkland said. “It’s difficult. Now, I’m trying to do two full days worth of work but I don’t have two full days to do it in.”
Superintendent: Just do the best you can
Frontier Superintendent Richard Hughes has not only heard the frustrations of parents, he's living it in his own home with four elementary school children.
Teachers had to pivot to long-distance learning virtually overnight, without training and time for planning.
"What we're trying to do is just basically do the best we can," he said. "And honestly, that’s the same thing that we’re asking parents."
Parents always want the best for their children and put pressure on themselves, he said.
"I don’t think there is an answer to all this. It’s just let’s do the best we can," he said. "What's going to be remembered when this is all said and done is not the classwork that got done or didn’t get done, it’s going to be how we spent time with each other."

Trump Didn’t Want To Renominate Fed Chair Because She Was Too Short
Darragh Roche
President Donald Trump questioned Federal Reserve Chairwoman Janet Yellen’s abilities because she was too short, according to reports. Yellen is 5′ 3” and a former economics professor with a doctorate from Yale. She was appointed to head the Fed by Barack Obama.
Trump reportedly made comments about Yellen’s height and suggested that she was not the right person to lead the Fed because she was so short. Trump discussed the matter with aides and apparently asked them if they agreed with him about her height.
Yellen was not renominated, though this is likely because aides in the administration wanted to replace her, perhaps because she was an Obama appointee or because they wanted a clean sweep with for the President. Yellen was succeeded by Jerome Powell, who has pursued largely similar policies.
President Trump is particularly interested in people’s appearance. Trump reportedly dislikes National Security Adviser John Bolton because of his mustache and has recently compared himself with Elvis Presley. Trump has a history of commenting on people’s looks, especially women.
Before becoming President, Trump had frequently described women as dogs and pigs, including long-time rival Rosie O’Donnell. Just this year, Trump referred to former aide Omarosa Manigault Newman as a dog following her departure from the White House.
“When you give a crazed, crying lowlife a break, and give her a job at the White House, I guess it just didn’t work out. Good work by General Kelly for quickly firing that dog!” Trump tweeted at the time.
According to numerous reports, Trump frequently mocks White House staff when they are not in the room and once called former Attorney General Jeff Sessions ‘mentally retarded‘ and mocked his southern accent.

Bacteriophages phi MR299-2 and phi NH-4 can eliminate Pseudomonas aeruginosa in the murine Lung and on Cystic Fibrosis lung airway cells

Published Version: 10.1128/mBio.00029-12
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a common cause of infection in the lungs of patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). In addition, biofilm formation and antibiotic resistance of Pseudomonas are major problems that can complicate antibiotic therapy. We evaluated the efficacy of using bacteriophages to kill the pathogen in both biofilms and in the murine lung. We isolated and characterized two phages from a local wastewater treatment plant, a myovirus (phi NH-4) and a podovirus (phi MR299-2). Both phages were active against clinical isolates of P. aeruginosa. Together, the two phages killed all 9 clinical isolate strains tested, including both mucoid and nonmucoid strains. An equal mixture of the two phages was effective in killing P. aeruginosa NH57388A (mucoid) and P. aeruginosa MR299 (nonmucoid) strains when growing as a biofilm on a cystic fibrosis bronchial epithelial CFBE41o-cell line. Phage titers increased almost 100-fold over a 24-h period, confirming replication of the phage. Furthermore, the phage mix was also effective in killing the pathogen in murine lungs containing 1 x 10(7) to 2 x 10(7) P. aeruginosa. Pseudomonas was effectively cleared (reduced by a magnitude of at least 3 to 4 log units) from murine lungs in 6 h. Our study demonstrates the efficacy of these two phages in killing clinical Pseudomonas isolates in the murine lung or as a biofilm on a pulmonary cell line and supports the growing interest in using phage therapy for the control and treatment of multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas lung infections in CF patients.IMPORTANCE Given the rise in antibiotic resistance, nonantibiotic therapies are required for the treatment of infection. This is particularly true for the treatment of Pseudomonas infection in patients with cystic fibrosis. We have identified two bacterial viruses (bacteriophages) that can kill Pseudomonas growing on human lung cells and in an animal model of lung infection. The use of bacteriophages is particularly appropriate because the killing agent can replicate on the target cell, generating fresh copies of the bacteriophage. Thus, in the presence of a target, the killing agent multiplies. By using two bacteriophages we can reduce the risk of resistant colonies developing at the site of infection. Bacteriophage therapy is an exciting field, and this study represents an important demonstration of efficacy in validated infection models.

Bruno Fernando posted his first NBA double-double
Alex Murphy
Forward Bruno Fernando prepares to shoot a free throw during Maryland’s 72-62 win over Ohio State at Xfinity Center on Feb. 23, 2019. (Julia Nikhinson/The Diamondback)
Former Maryland star and now Atlanta Hawks center Bruno Fernando, donning the same jersey number as the late NBA legend Kobe Bryant, channeled some Mamba Magic and had a career night against the Washington Wizards.
Donning the No. 24, @BrunoFernandoMV puts up 14/12 for his first career double-double.
Fitting. #MambaForever pic.twitter.com/Fjc5iJGqVs
— Maryland Basketball (@TerrapinHoops) January 27, 2020
Fernando, the 34th pick in the 2019 NBA Draft, has bounced between the G League’s College Park Skyhawks and the Hawks this season, but on Sunday, he proved his ability to play in the league, recording his first career double-double.
He shot 7-for-9 from the field in just over 19 minutes on the court, recording career-highs with 14 points and 12 rebounds in Atlanta’s 152-133 win over Washington. He also had one block and a +/- of +15 for the night, his second-highest +/- of the season.
Now more than halfway into his rookie season in the NBA, Fernando is averaging 4.1 points per game and 3.4 rebounds per game in 12.5 minutes. The rookie has played in 42 games, starting 11.
Elsewhere in the game, Kevin Huerter continued a good vein of form, scoring 18 points, shooting 7-for-11 from the field and 4-for-7 from beyond the arc. Alex Len missed the game with a hip injury.
Sunday night was another positive step in Fernando’s young career, and for all that was happening around the world of sports, it was fitting it happened like that.

And to ensure Eoin Morgan & Co. get good practice ahead of the 2019 World Cup, the board has arranged for a five-match ODI series and a T20I against Pakistan.
The Men in Green are the reigning champions of the Champions Trophy and will be one of the teams to watch out for in England next year. Pakistan will also use the series to fine tune their preparations, as they will be looking to replicate their 2017 Champions Trophy heroics.

Oil slumps to lowest this year as traders focus on record supply
HOUSTON - Investors are finally taking record U.S. oil stockpiles seriously.
Oil slumped the most in more than a year after government data showed production cuts from OPEC and other exporters have not been enough to reduce U.S. supplies. Saudi Arabia’s Oil Minister Khalid Al-Falih said in Houston Tuesday that global supplies have been slower to decline than OPEC and its partners expected, leaving the door open for an extension of cuts that started in January.
"The crude market is losing patience," Mike Wittner, head of commodities research at Societe Generale SA in New York, said by telephone. "The big rally in December after the OPEC agreement was based on expectations that the cuts would balance the market. While it looks like OPEC has cut more than 1 million barrels a day of output it’s difficult to see any impact on U.S. stockpiles."
West Texas Intermediate for April delivery dropped $2.86, or 5.4 percent, to settle at $50.28 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange, the lowest close since Dec. 7. It was the biggest decline since Feb. 9, 2016. Total volume traded was about 55 percent above the 100-day average.
Brent for May settlement tumbled $2.81, or 5 percent, to $53.11 a barrel on the London-based ICE Futures Europe exchange, also the lowest close since Dec. 7.
Saudi Arabia and Russia, the architects of the deal, presented a united front on complying with the cuts at the CERAWeek conference Tuesday in Houston. Alongside officials from Iraq and Mexico, they insisted the curbs are working.
Managed money reduced its record wagers on price climbs in data released last week. They held almost 1 billion barrels of WTI and Brent crude futures and options at the peak, government and exchange data show.
Great Exodus
"There’s close to record speculative length and looks like it could be the start of the great exodus," John Kilduff, a partner at Again Capital LLC, a New York-based hedge fund that focuses on energy, said by telephone. "The comments at the conference weren’t reassuring to the market and the crude inventory builds are going to continue for a while given the low utilization rates."
Supplies climbed 8.21 million barrels to the highest in weekly data going back to 1982 as production rose to the highest in a year.
Wednesday’s market swoon has led to a return of volatility. The Chicago Board Options Exchange Crude Oil Volatility Index climbed to the highest level in two months after falling to the lowest since October 2014 on March 1.
"As long as inventories do not drop the market will be volatile," Total SA Chief Executive Officer Patrick Pouyanne said Wednesday in Houston.
Energy companies were the worst performers on the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index. The S&P Oil & Gas Exploration and Production Select Industry index fell 3.1 percent to the lowest level since November.
Oil-market news:
Oil prices will tumble to $40 a barrel if OPEC doesn’t extend its pact later this year to cut output, according to Scott Sheffield, chairman of shale producer Pioneer Natural Resources Co.
Production from Libya’s Waha Oil Co., a venture between the state oil company and foreign partners, may be suspended Wednesday as clashes in the country’s eastern oil region keep the main export terminals out of service.

Nonprofit Marshall Project gears up for putting criminal justice reform on national agenda
By Andrew Lapin, Freelance Contributor | August 12, 2014
The Washington Post had a blockbuster front-page investigation with a lengthy Aug. 3 story about an unreliable witness in a Texas execution case. But the story came from a new kid on the block. “The Prosecutor and the Snitch” was the first story to be published by The Marshall Project, a nonprofit news site focused on criminal justice reform. The Marshall Project, named after former Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall, plans to officially launch in October.

Unsettling push notifications from CNN. An influx of pressing work emails. 97 unread texts from your friend group chat. None of these things should be the Official Betting Game In Which You Could Lose Your Shirt Besides,I will do this last thing you see at night, nor the first thing you lay your eyes on in the morning. And despite this very obvious truth and the fact that excessive screen time has been linked to exacerbating just about every mental and physical health condition that besets us, smartphone addiction is a stark reality for many—if not most. And with daylight saving time newly ended, it’s crucial to acknowledge that sleeping in the same room as our smartphone, as well as using it as an alarm to wake up, is an acute part of the problem.For starters, screen time has a direct impact on our production of melatonin, otherwise known as the hormone of darkness, which is produced in the brain’s pineal glands and requires—you guessed it—darkness to work its magic and induce sleepiness. “Melatonin doesn’t like light, especially the blue light emitted by electronics,” explains Shelby Harris, Psy.D., a behavioral sleep-medicine specialist, adding that nighttime exposure can disrupt your circadian rhythm (the body’s internal clock), which not only compromises the quantity and quality of sleep, but can also disrupt everything from the body’s digestive system to fluctuating hormonal levels.

Furthermore, no matter how you slice it, if your smartphone is plugged in next to your bed, you’re still in work or social media mode. “If you’re getting texts or email alerts, it obviously disrupts your sleep quality,” says Harris. “But even if you don’t have alerts, there’s always going to be the Official Betting Game In Which You Could Lose Your Shirt Besides,I will do this temptation to check your smartphone. Then, your bedroom is associated with awake activities such as work, socializing, and stress, more so than restful sleep.”The bottom line is that if you’re keeping your phone in your bedroom, your brain isn’t fully shutting down and it’s impeding an optimal night’s rest. The solution? If you can’t rely on your circadian rhythm to wake you up naturally, revert back to a traditional alarm clock. “Go old-school!” insists Harris. “It’ll keep the temptation of your smartphone out of the room and if you put it away from your bed, you have to physically get up and turn it off, which makes the snooze alarm tougher to use.”That said, even if you’re buying more time on a de facto alarm clock instead of an iPhone next to your pillow, it’s not a fruitful habit. “If you find that you’re constantly pushing snooze, you’re probably going to bed too late and need more sleep overall,” she says. The other factor to take into consideration if you’re having trouble getting up in the mornings, particularly during the cooler months, is light. “If you struggle with waking up early in the fall and winter because of the darkness, a dawn-simulating alarm clock can be helpful,” explains Harris.From the latest sun-mimicking innovation to a timeless Danish model, here are three alarm clocks that will ensure a better night’s rest and upgrade your space, too.
The cult-beloved appeal is also helped by the Betting Game In Which You Could Lose Your Shirt but in fact I love this fact that some of the merch from A24 and Elara Pictures is designed by another buzzy label, Online Ceramics, which is known for its Grateful Dead–inspired, triptastic T-shirts that sell out oh so quickly.

Wearing the hat says that you’ve seen a goatee-sporting Sandler canoodle with Julia Fox in Uncut Gems or Pattinson frantically run through New York in Good Time. (Or at least you look like you do.) And if the merch looks good (which it does), well, it’s the perfect recipe for hype. It brings me back to this Reddit thread in which a user posted the question: “Can we make a pact that we’ll all post in here when we these fuckin’ hats hit the schmatas again?” A pact? About a hat? It turns out there is a little bit more to it.While many of us are feeling a collective exhale as the end of the Trump era draws near, there are still challenges ahead as the coronavirus continues to spread rapidly. The reality is we have a long winter ahead of us, and for those who suffer from seasonal affective disorder, also known as seasonal depression, managing symptoms is bound to be even more difficult in lockdown. Here, experts break down what season affective disorder is, and how best to treat it, along with depression-like symptoms, in the time of COVID-19.Seasonal affective disorder (SAD) is a clinical depression that follows a regular seasonal pattern. “The most common seasonal pattern in SAD is depression during the fall and winter months with periods of full improvement in the spring and summer,” explains psychologist Kelly Rohan, a professor at the University of Vermont. According to expert studies, seasonal affective disorder, both severe and mild, affects about 5% of the U.S. population, with women more likely to be affected than men.By and large, the symptoms of depression in SAD are the same as nonseasonal depression symptoms. According to Rohan, the most commonly reported SAD symptoms include significant fatigue, pervasively sad mood, loss of interest in activities, sleeping more hours than usual, difficulty concentrating, and eating more starches and sweets.

A history of the Crusades, as told by crusaders' DNA

AllenWitmerMiller (Retired Professor & Minister.) April 20, 2019, 12:21am #2
Fascinating article! As I read it, I noticed several points which merit comments:
The article repeats a popular but often misleading claim:
History can tell us a lot about the Crusades, the series of religious wars fought between 1095 and 1291, in which Christian invaders tried to claim the Near East.
Well… sort of. There is a popular myth—often promoted at anti-theist websites and in silly comments by Neil deGrasse Tyson et al—which assumes that the Muslims of the Middle East were peaceably minding their own business when those evil Christian brutes from Europe capriciously decided to invade and take over. This ignores the historical fact that for many centuries the Muslims of the Near East (and North Africa) had been invading European territories, butchering many and enslaving many, and often settling and governing long term. Worse yet, in the minds of many European Christians, they were robbing and tormenting Christian pilgrims on their way to the Holy Land to visit the sacred sites. There were countless “last straw� events over the centuries which led Byzantine, Vatican, Frankish, English and many other regions’ leaders to plead with their European neighbors to join them in securing the sacred sites and standing against the Muslim tyrants. The Crusades were nearly inevitable under these conditions.
Secondly, I doubt if most historians are all that shocked to find the DNA mixtures described in the article. I’m no expert on these topics but I would point out, for example, that many young men and other landless people joined armies on the march because they figured they had nothing to lose. Farm land was already limited and often overpopulated. Inheritance traditions often distributed land to the oldest or at least the elder sons, and any younger ones had to look elsewhere to seek their livelihood. Army life can look attractive when a powerful ruler and the wealthy Church are providing what seem like boundless and reliable meals—as well as a sense of eternal purpose. It also wasn’t so unexpected that some members of such armies would settle long term at their destinations or somewhere along the way. Thus, I would expect genetic admixtures from many of these military expeditions and occupying armies—especially when many of them lingered for decades or even centuries.
Again, I’m not a specialist in these historical eras. Perhaps others on PS can better expand on these themes.
POSTSCRIPT: I’m not an avid Game of Thrones fan but I do find it interesting how many real historical events and phenomena get blended into the books and epic HBO series. One element from the Crusaders era seen in Game of Thrones is wildfire, an incendiary substance which is clearly based upon Greek fire, which was used by Europeans to fight off invading Muslim armies and navies during various battles. I think it was at Constantinople when the Byzantine defenders defeated the approaching Islamic ships by raining Greek fire upon them. (This led to King Joffrey and Kit Harrington making their escape by riding giant dragons using greenscreen special effects financed by Daenerys Targaryen and the Unsullied. No. Not really. )

Cutting Through the Fog
In Defense of Miles Mathis
Posted by Josh in Uncategorized
≈ 5,604 Comments
Below is a rebuttal and response to a recent attack on Miles Mathis, titled “Extraordinary Claims Require Extraordinary Clowns.” Note that from the first word there is already an ad hominem attack in the form of childish name-calling. Apparently Miles is a clown, and the picture of him at the top of the post is supposed to prove it, I guess. Also note that the paper was first published on Mark Tokarski’s (now defunct) “Miles Mathis discussion site,” which is apparently just New Speak for a place where discussion is forbidden. The “About” section of the site no longer exists, but it originally stated that: “As always there are ground rules. No personal attacks. I have met him, he is a human being, even as some think he is a front for a committee. Be respectful of one another.” So much for that. I guess the next post he publishes will be a hit piece titled “Miles ‘Pantsload’ Mathis.” Oh wait, they’ve already used that one
[Update May 13, 2018: The link at the top to the commentary on Miles has been deleted from that site, which is now also vacant with a “for rent” sign hanging on the front window. I have re-linked to an archived copy of that page, which I made using the wayback machine before it was erased. That site was a spin-off blog started by Mark Tokarski, who has a regular blog called Piece of Mindful (PoM or POM or now lovingly referred to as POS). I was a contributor there for about 6 months in 2016-2017 before I parted ways and opened up shop here. Mark has now re-published that hit piece on his regular blog under the title ‘Down the Rabbit Hole’ and also added some scurrilous and libelous accusations against Miles. I will not link to the new piece, though you can easily find it yourself. I will have an update in the coming days responding to the new accusations but others have responded to it in comments.]
Two things I want to say before I continue. First: this response is long, and if you think I am trying to Waste Your Time™, then by all means don’t read it. Nobody’s forcing you to. If you think this is part of some manufactured fracas to further split the truther ‘community,’ you will be relieved to hear that the gambit cannot work if you close this browser tab now and ignore it. I sincerely wish I had done both of those things when I first saw the post authored by the pseudonymous “Robert Zherunkel.” But I didn’t and now here I am, unable to ignore it and allowing myself to be hoisted on somebody’s petard—maybe even my own. It is my hamartia. Or one of them, anyway.
Second: I think it’s perfectly legitimate to be skeptical of Miles and question whether or not he his genuine. My intention is not one of “how dare you!” and my response here is not a knee-jerk defense. It comes after having spent a long time wrangling with some of the same questions raised by “Robert.” But unlike him, I did not seek answers to my questions in rhetorical gimmicks. I prefer substance. So in responding to his accusations, I will also be offering some insight into how I came to believe, and still do, that Miles is a genuine person who is genuine in his intentions. That doesn’t mean I think he is perfect or that I agree with everything he writes or every conclusion he reaches. But it does mean that when I think he’s wrong, I don’t think he’s being wrong on purpose. In other words, I don’t think he’s trying to deliberately mislead or act as some kind of limited hangout.
Whoever wrote this pathetic attack piece wants you to dismiss the scientific work of Miles Mathis based on sophistry, since he is unable to show how it is wrong. I don’t think you can reach conclusions about the work (including deciding whether it could be the work of a single person) unless you have read it. And if you haven’t, then it would be best to remain agnostic rather than fall for the sophistry—and sophistry it is, starting from the ad hominem in the title.
Extraordinary Claims…
I think I might know who “Robert Zherunkel” is: the ghost of Carl Sagan. Who else would start out by admonishing that “Extraordinary claims, it is said, require extraordinary evidence.” Yes, that is often said. But remind yourself who says it. You always hear it from the (paid) guardians of the mainstream who try to discredit all evidence that contradicts the status quo. The fact that this writer’s first move is to pull out one of the go-to talking points of paid shills and mainstream gatekeepers is, in my mind, a dead giveaway. In my opinion the whole thing sounds like it was written by a fairly experienced JTRIG operative who has underestimated or utterly failed to understand his target audience. He thinks he can trigger the desired response in Miles’ readers using ad hominems, appeals to authority, and low-level stuff like dragging out this tired mantra. He flatters you as someone who is too sophisticated to believe what you read in newspapers, but treats you like someone who has just begun to question their daily dose of propaganda. His ploy is patently transparent and simply won’t work. Not on us. Can we please speak with your supervisor, “Robert”?
Look, I agree that it is hard to believe that a person like Miles exists. The sheer genius of his insights, the scope of his work, and the scale of his productivity are admittedly hard to believe. They are extraordinary. But that doesn’t mean they’re impossible. In the world our governors have molded, they have tried to marginalize and quash people like Miles, rob them of any incentive to do what they do. They want us to believe that it is no longer possible to achieve so much, especially without the promise of monetary reward and especially if it goes against the matrix of lies they have constructed. “Robert” cannot even fathom that Miles hasn’t copyrighted his work, it is so outside his corrupted vision of conceivable human action. And then he wants you to believe it is a sign that something is amiss. Sorry, but I’m not buying the vision of humanity and human potential that he’s selling.
‘Pataphysicist Extraordinaire?
“Robert” mentions how inconceivable it is that someone who lacks a laboratory, graduate student assistants, a high-powered computer, and an advanced degree could have achieved what Miles has. (I believe he errs in thinking that Miles has never had access to a research library, since much of his earlier work was completed while living near Amherst. And anyway, hasn’t he heard of the internet?) But it actually makes sense when you read his science work, because it is bears the hallmarks of an autodidact who started from square one and questioned everything as he went along. Do you think that most people with advanced degrees in physics these days have actually read the original works accredited to Newton or Einstein? No, they are taught glosses of their work in textbooks. People like that have the tendency to humblebrag that they stand on the shoulders of giants. But the problem is that they are not taught to question the work of those giants. They are taught to accept it as dogma.
Miles also stands on the shoulders of giants, but before trying to look further, he first peered over their shoulders and checked their work. And guess what? Turns out they weren’t as giant as we are taught, since he found a lot of mistakes. He explains these mistakes very clearly. They are not hard to understand and usually involve simple errors of algebra, variable assignment, or logical contradictions. Of course Miles’ work is not just a simple correction to this work: he brings to the table many deep yet straightforward conceptual insights and expands far beyond the work he corrects.
The suggestion that his physics work is a pastiche of different theories is only something that someone who hadn’t read his work could argue without being disingenuous, and it could only resonate with people who haven’t read it. The reason is that it is coherent. It is of a piece. Not only that, you can see how one idea or paper leads another, how later papers build on earlier ones (and plus his physics papers are chock-a-block with interconnecting hyperlinks). For example, his work on Pi follows from the work he did dissecting and correcting Newton’s Lemmae, as well as his work on deriving a calculus that was appropriate for describing the physical world, along with others. He then uses his reworking of Pi to correct many mainstream equations. It’s also worth noting that his argument about kinematic Pi differs from other “tired old math paradoxes” since it is derived from different postulates and is brought to bear only in some circumstances (to describe the path of moving objects). Thus although it may appear superficially to be simply a variant of the diagonal paradox, it is not.
To give you a point of comparison, consider Miles’ conspiracy opus. Imagine someone suggested to you that he had simply cobbled together a bunch of disparate conspiracies and alternative histories from all over the place and claimed intellectual ownership. I don’t think you’d buy it. First you wouldn’t buy it because you won’t find anything anywhere about many of the things he has (un)covered, and the way he approaches the things that have been covered elsewhere are always unique and usually far more decisive and illuminating. Is there anybody else out there, for example, who has ever said that major historical figures like Hitler, Mussolini and JFK were gay Jewish actors who faked their deaths. No, there isn’t. Now imagine someone suggested to you that each of Miles’ papers on those historical figures were all written by different ‘oddballs’ and Miles just revised their work to make it sound like one person wrote them. Would you buy it? Of course not. So to suggest he cobbled his work together from different sources is an obvious non-starter. And for anyone who has followed the progression of Miles’ work and seen how he built up to these and other conclusions and how intertwined his various papers are, stiff with interconnected hyperlinks, you would have to think that anyone claiming that his work was a pastiche had in fact never read it and/or was deliberately trying to mislead you. For those of us who have read and digested his work in physics, “Robert’s” insinuation is equally absurd. Either “Robert” has not read the work (and is therefore in no position to judge it) or he has read it and is deliberately mischaracterizing it in order to mislead you.
Oddball Comparisons and Appeals to Authority
Here we go with more ad hominems when “Robert” compares Miles to other “oddballs.” But just because the mainstream has discredited these people’s work, how can we be sure they’re wrong? Because the ‘experts’ say so? Whoever this “Robert” is he sure seems to put an awful lot of faith in mainstream knowledge and expertise, wouldn’t you say? There are many implicit and explicit appeals to authority throughout the piece, such as when he says that “any time that Mathis has written on a topic that I have direct, personal knowledge of, he has gotten it wrong. Dead wrong.” Yet he fails to offer any examples, so I guess we’re just supposed to take his word for it.
He makes a lot of claims about what characterizes oddball work (it “bends terminology to make [an] argument”) and charges Miles with the same misdeed without being able to point to a single example. His argument in a nutshell is this: “The mainstream has dismissed others because their work is ‘not even wrong’ and can be trivially falsified. And if that’s true of these others, then it must be true of Miles.” Frankly I’m surprised anybody would think this kind of sophistry would work on this audience, and I’m even more surprised that Mark agreed to publish it. I have defended and made excuses for him until now, but no longer.
Now, if “Robert” will only be satisfied when “experts in the field” are willing to confirm the value or validity of Miles’ physics work, I can point to at least three I know of:
One of them is Tahir Yaqoob, a PhD in Astrophysics who has held positions at many prestigious universities and now works at the University of Maryland and the Goddard Space Flight Center, NASA. Yaqoob was the one who encouraged Miles to publish his first science book and also wrote the forward and a blurb on the back cover. Of course “Robert” might object that the support of a NASA-affiliated scientist is a hug red flag. For that matter, one might argue that the endorsement of any mainstream physicist is a red flag. But in that case he has put Miles in a no-win situation. Also, to immediately dismiss Yaqoob on that affiliation alone would be a symptom of what Emerson called “the hobgoblin of little minds.”
Another supporter introduced himself on Clues Forum in 2015 as Gopi Krishna, who earned his PhD in physics at the University of Houston. In a thread on Miles at CF he wrote:
“I came across Mathis’ work at the end of 2012/beginning of 2013, for a completely different reason: his physics. Now, my background has been in studying physics, both conventional (as a graduate student) and alternative (as a hobby), and due to a reference given by a friend, I checked out the physics theories. Now, I do not know if you guys have checked it out, and that would probably have to be a separate topic to examine it in detail, but the long and short of it is that the theory was intriguing, and very effective in explaining most of the puzzling phenomena in modern physics without enormous amount of tensor theories and so on. Since I already knew from my research that the justification for many mathematical assumptions were on a very shaky foundation, I proceeded to examine his idea of a “charge field” … and it cleared up a lot. I emailed back and forth for about 6 months, trying to hash out my questions regarding the physics, and thereafter, I have visited him two times. Once for nearly 5 days for a Physics conference, at which time everything other than physics was restricted to over-the-table conversations. The second time was around the first week of this year.”
Gopi also says there that he got his degree from the University of Houston, and I have verified his credentials through a web search. So here we have someone with a PhD in physics consulting Miles in person to help improve his understanding of physics. If Miles was a front for a committee whose main task was to mark their work with a consistent style like some kind of ghost writer, would he be able to discuss such issues with Gopi one-on-one like that? Would he be able to host a conference to discuss physics? Would his minders allow him to do that? What if one of the conference participants asked a tough question or if Miles forgot something in the over 6,000 pages written by his committee and published on his science site? Seems risky and implausible. Remember these annual conferences were capped at 8 participants. So there doesn’t seem to be much upside, while the risks run pretty high.
And finally we have Steve Oostdijk who has a degree in electrical engineering, electronics and avionics from Delft University of Technology. Steve has been one of Miles’ most steadfast and vocal supporters. What’s funny is that many have accused Steve of being a Miles Mathis sock puppet. See for example the accusations by Kevin Bos in his review of Miles’ first book on Amazon, where he writes “Steven Oostdijk is a known Mathis alias.” Which is kind of weird since Steve has an extensive LinkedIn page and other presence on social media. Any doubts were put to rest of course after Steve posted a youtube video with an experiment confirming Miles’ work on Pi. Come to think of it, “Robert” also accuses some “Team Mathis” supporters of just being “Mathis himself under an alias.” I guess that’s another line he took straight from the playbook.
(There is also an e-mail exchange that Miles published on his site with a physicist working in private industry who seems very satisfied with the guidance Miles provided and the theories that informed it. And another e-mail with a different scientist who lauds his work. You could argue that those e-mail exchanges are just fabricated. I suppose they could be, but if not that counts as two more “experts in the field” who validate his work. They could all be wrong, I suppose, but it would be lying to say his work is appreciated only by dilettantes.)
Of course it would be hypocritical of me to condemn “Robert’s” appeal to authority and then suggest to you that you should believe in the validity of Miles’ work due to the support of these experts. I only list these examples as a rebuttal to “Robert’s” argument that Miles has no support from experts. It simply isn’t true. But here, as with anything else concerned with matters of truth, you ultimately have to trust your own judgment. (Although I admit that when I was struggling to trust my own judgment about his work, this support from people with training in the field helped me make up my mind. That and the shills coming out of the woodwork to attack and ridicule him in the most dishonest and childish ways.)
In light of “Robert’s” comparison to other “oddball” scientists, we also have to consider the very real possibility that some or much of anti-mainstream science is created by the mainstream in order to be easily debunked. The obvious example is Flat Earth. Another example can be found with some of the worst arguments about 9/11—arguments which seem to have been planted deliberately as low-hanging fruit for the debunkers to pick in order to discredit all skepticism about 9/11. In the case of the planted alternative scientific theories, the conclusion is, “See there is nothing wrong with mainstream science; oh and look what will happen to your career and credibility if you dare to question it. Really now, how could you have listened to someone with such a poorly designed website?” Here I’ll quote from Miles’ recent outing of the Electric Universe project (aka Thunderbolts):
“It now looks to me like the Thunderbolts are just a continuation of the old Velikovsky con. They hook you by admitting what you already know: the upper levels of the mainstream are composed of a bunch of liars and frauds, and textbook physics is little more than an embarrassing edifice of fudged math and bad theory. Using real plasma physics as ballast, they then cobble together an electric universe replacement for the old tinkertoy gravity model, and you feel like you have made some progress. But your progress is illusory, because the Thunderbolts were created to fail. Not only are their theories shallow and extremely limited, but they are purposely created to self-destruct upon any serious reading. Compared to me, these guys are one-trick ponies, who keep publishing the same ten sentences over and over. In 40 years, they haven’t solved a single actual problem. Conversely, in less than half the time, I have solved hundreds of major problems in physics back to the time of Euclid. While these bozos are wasting their time in conferences and chatrooms and Youtube videos, I am solving new problems, doing all the math and theory from the ground up.” [I should point out that Miles also offered a substantive critique of Thunderbolts several years ago.]
Then “Robert” links to a cluesforum thread on the Stephen Hawking hoax along with the accusation that Miles cribbed it – meaning he simply stole their work and passed it off as his own. I encourage you to go to that link. You will see some vague (and also unoriginal) discussion about Stephen Hawking being a hoax, along with almost zero evidence — just a lot of speculation. In fact, the two videos the original poster linked to are completely ridiculed by the forum members. And then on the 3rd page someone links to Miles’s work and the thread suddenly starts to take off with a lot of people presenting additional evidence, etc. Someone even posts the picture with Hawking’s big front bottom teeth sticking out, which appeared in Miles’ paper though they give no credit (if anything, they are the ones cribbing his work). Notice too that Shack tries to spin it to one of his ridiculous over-the-top theories by saying that Stephen Hawking is some kind of animatronic puppet. [By the way, for some reason people find it spooky that Miles Mathis is MM and Simon Shack is SS. But recall that Simon Shack is a pseudonym for Simon Hytten, so his initials aren’t SS.]
In any event, I don’t recall Miles ever saying the idea of Hawking being some kind of a hoax was original to him. But he does claim to have offered a decisive analysis, and in that I agree, especially if you compare his paper to that thread. On top of that, you also get from Miles what you don’t get from anybody at cluesforum: a very penetrating insight into why the hoax was perpetrated – an explanation that follows the conclusions he reached from over a decade of picking apart mainstream scientific bullshit (but then also reconstructs it without simply throwing up his hands and declaring that all science is bullshit).
Go, Team Mathis, Go!
People like “Robert” always try to sell you an inverted version of reality where white is black and up is down. In his telling, “Miles Mathis” is surrounded by a posse of flunkies who place their made-up hero on a pedestal and are always standing at the ready to shout down criticism and close ranks: a “web-brigade of friends [who] can shove [his work] down people’s throats in comment-threads far and wide;” “cyber-friends [who] charge into any forum and defend their guy tooth and nail.”
In “Robert’s” topsy-turvy version of reality, criticism of Miles on comment threads “far and wide” will be quickly shut down. My experience has actually been the opposite. Outside the realm of PoM, whenever I bring up Miles’ work, it almost always brings people out of nowhere immediately who try to discredit or dismiss him and his work. Even on a forum like Reddit’s conspiracy subreddit or fakeologist (just look at the comments on the black frosting post). And this is especially true with his scientific work. In fact, it was this experience I had on several occasions that helped to convince me that he was legit: If random, anonymous people were appearing out of nowhere trying to convince me that he was wrong using pathetic arguments without any substance, then to my mind it was a good indication that he was really on to something.
Here’s a personal example: when I posted my paper that tries to apply his theories to LENR (Low Energy Nuclear Reactions AKA ‘cold fusion’) at a LENR discussion forum, the reaction was most curious. Within minutes, someone replied with “Pi=4?” The paper I posted made no mention of Pi, and Miles’ papers on Pi are way down at the bottom of his website. So how did he so quickly find, read, digest and refer to it? A few minutes later, somebody posted “Does he really believe that Stephen Hawking died in 1985 and has been played by an impostor since then?” While it’s true that his paper about Hawking does appear on his science site, it is also down towards the bottom. How could somebody so quickly have found and read that paper? It was clear that people were almost immediately chiming in with things that seemed purposefully designed to discredit him; and it was clear they were using ammunition they had at the ready. The other thing about that thread is that many of the people commenting were first-time posters, most of whom would never be heard from again. Now go ahead and look at the commenters on the thread about Miles’ genealogy. How many are first-time posters? A lot.
I quickly came to suspect that the site where I had posted that LENR paper was itself carefully monitored and that shills were being sent in to secure the breach. My first clue actually came when I e-mailed the site owner my paper for submission and he didn’t reply. I then wrote to him in a different comment thread, and he said he never got my e-mail. So I sent him again. He looked for it and said he found both e-mails had been diverted to his trash folder. Not his spam folder. His trash folder. When was the last time somebody sent an e-mail to you that found its way mysteriously to your trash folder? I have never had that happen before or since. That was the first time weird e-mail anomalies happened to me in connection with Miles, especially his physics work, but it would not be the last, and our correspondence has been repeatedly stymied. I know I’m not the only one who has had that problem corresponding with him. He didn’t change his e-mail address for nothing, you know.
I had a somewhat similar experience over at cluesforum when someone started a discussion of his work on Pi. It was just me and Vexman explaining and then defending Miles against an onslaught of substance-free and repetitive criticism, much of it from people who said they joined cluesforum just to chime in to that debate. (I’m not imagining things: to become a cluesforum member you have to submit a statement about why you’re joining, and IIRC at least two people stated that was their reason for joining.)
I’ll give you another example. Here is an entry on what appears to be a very obscure blog from July 31, 2013. A scarce 3 hours after the post went up, the “criticism” starts and just keeps rolling in. People appearing out of the woodwork to bash Miles and his work. Some of it really puerile, like: “Miles is out of his mind. He might think that there is a god but he is just a child. If this artist ever sees a 25 feet tall man walking to his house he would think that this 25 feet tall man was a real thing. So do people who take L.S.D. think. So we now know that this Miles Mathis is just a drug taker. Hey Miles. You could just smoke some pot and get high and see what is not real.” Um, okay…
Yes, there are supporters in the comments, but most of them arrived quite late to the party, probably after doing a web search for Miles Mathis, which is how I found that blog (on the 3rd page of google results). But supporters are still heavily outnumbered by denouncers.
This Quora post is another example. To my eyes the question seems to have been posed simply a set-up for them to post a derogatory response. And then there is his entry in Rational Wiki, to which Miles replied, with typically perspicacious logic: “If they are right and I am just a deluded crank … why the obvious and pathetic smear campaign? Do you really need to smear deluded cranks? No, logically and rationally, you can ignore deluded cranks, because they are no threat to any real science. Therefore, logically and rationally, the fact that they feel it necessary to slander me with this prominent transparent project is another sign they are threatened.” Ditto for “Robert.”
And no matter where you go on the web, the criticism sounds the same; it has the same form and tone. It rarely addresses substance, or when it does it frames his arguments in a disingenuous way in order to dismiss them or make them sound totally absurd. I have been told on multiple occasions from different commenters that they are in graduate school in math or physics and that they print out his papers and pass them around the department for a laugh. When I first heard that, it made me pause and question myself. But knowing what I do of graduate school life, I found it far fetched. Grad students usually don’t have time for that, and that doesn’t sound like how they unwind. But when I heard it a second time in another place, I realized it’s one of their scripted talking points designed to make you feel like you yourself are a laughingstock for giving his work any credence.
What’s the Point?
One of the things that is clearly lacking from “Robert’s” hatchet job is what he thinks is the point of this physics psy-op. (The same can be said for Kevin’s piece on Miles’ genealogy.) Is it merely a Waste Our Time™ strategy as “Robert” suggests? If it is, I’d say it’s failing badly. First of all, most people don’t even bother trying to read it because they feel it is ‘above their pay grade.’ So right off the top it wastes exactly zero time for most people. Some people start reading it but find they either don’t understand it or disagree with it, so they stop reading. So it doesn’t waste much of their time. And then there are those of us like myself, Vexman, Jared and many others who feel that the profound and penetrating insights into the physical world we have gained are well worth the time we invested. Do you feel you’ve wasted your time reading Miles’ conspiracy work, or do you, like me, feel you have gained profound and penetrating insights into history and politics and strategies of rule?
You might counter by saying the putative “Miles Mathis project” is the same as the Electric Universe gambit, a way to steer critics of mainstream science down a dead-end alley. Well if that’s the case, then Miles certainly doesn’t act like someone who is trying to build a following. “Robert” finds it inexplicable that Miles never joins the discussion on a physics forum devoted to him in order to have his “huge” ego stroked. But he fails to point out what is really inexplicable: if Miles was the face of some larger project aimed to divert these people into a dead end, wouldn’t he (or someone on the committee pretending to be him) get down in the trenches to rally the troops? I think the answer is obviously yes. And yet, Miles certainly doesn’t seem eager to rally the troops or recruit as many people as possible into his camp. Remember that the Electric Universe folks spend their time in conferences and chatrooms and Youtube videos. If this was a committee running a project, you’d at least think that someone would be assigned to hob nob with the hoi polloi as Miles’ internet persona. But he doesn’t seem to be trying to make friends or enlist allies, as anybody who has e-mailed him is keenly aware. He ran a few physics conferences, capped at 8 guests, but has discontinued those as far as I know. That’s about the extent of it.
And speaking of those conferences, didn’t Mark attend the last one in 2016? That’s actually how I was first drawn to PoM. As somebody whose thinking has been profoundly influence by Miles’ work (both physics and history) I had been feeling ‘alone in the wilderness’ because I could find nowhere to discuss his work in a friendly environment. Everywhere I turned was a shill-fest. Then I stumbled on Mark’s comments in the fakeologist comments on ‘black frosting’ that I linked to above. Aha! Here was someone defending Mathis against charges (which were absurd to my mind) that he was just a fabricated identity fronting a committee. A quick google search on Mark’s name brought me to PoM. (There was someone else on that thread, Brandon, who had also attended and later sent me some pictures from the conference. He also defended Miles against charges of spookhood.)
I won’t rehash my brief history with PoM here. I will say that at first I was delighted to find a group of like-minded people who seemed to admire Miles’ work and take it seriously. So I find it very surprising to see Mark publishing this latest piece. He was there for four days at a conference where people were discussing Miles’ work in physics. Did Miles seem like he was working from prepared notes? Did it seem like the questions he got were planted or that he hemmed and hawed or found it difficult to answer them? Or did it instead seem like he was spontaneously relating knowledge he understood at a deep level, as if he himself had come up with those ideas himself? Was there any hint or indication that the physics work was not of his own creation? And again, if you were fronting this psyop, why would you open your house up to a bunch of strangers to ask you questions about an immense corpus of physics papers unless you felt you could answer them and discuss the work competently and confidently? That doesn’t sound like something a clown would do. Maybe a high-wire trapeze artist, but not a clown.
And speaking of artists, let’s not forget that before Miles started writing on physics, he was writing scathing critiques of modern art and artists and art critics. That the CIA has exclusively promoted modern art during the 20th century (and that their plutocrat masters have profited handsomely from that promotion) is well known. It is not even ‘conspiracy theory’ anymore, since the CIA has admitted their promotion. So are they also behind his critiques of modern art? Why? And if not, why would they choose Miles of all people as a vehicle for their scientific pastiche?
And so again I ask: if Miles’ work on science is the product of an elaborate psyop, what is the point of it? All I hear are crickets.
I have been corresponding with Miles by e-mail for a little over two years now. Part of my conclusion that he is genuine comes from the texture of those e-mails, which is something that is inherently difficult to relate. One thing that stands out was that when I sent him my paper on Gandhi, he wrote back saying that he had sent it to a friend of his who was from India, and conveyed to me his friend’s reactions. Later when I posted the work on cluesforum, I would learn that the friend he was referring to was none other than Gopi (who commented on my post, identifying himself as Miles’ “Indian friend”). You will remember that Gopi is the guy with the PhD in physics who had sought out Miles’ scientific advice and traveled to Taos on at least two occasions. Does that sounds like the way a big psyop is run? You may say it’s all part of an elaborate charade. Fine. But I don’t think so. There are many other things I could detail from our e-mail conversations, but this rebuttal is already getting long enough, and anyway I do respect Miles’ right to confidentiality when it comes to our e-mail correspondence.
I should add that Miles knows who I am and where I live, and that is part of the reason he does not entirely trust me. In fact, early on in our correspondence he said he thought I was running a project on him and nearly cut off contact. At some point I asked myself, if he himself was running a project, why would he be so suspicious of me? Wouldn’t he try to enlist any and all possible allies to misdirect them down a dead-end limited hangout? Of course you might think that I’m making all this up and that I’m in cahoots with him and a ranking member of the Miles Mathis committee. And I guess writing this defense will only serve as confirmation of that. I don’t know what I can say to change your mind, but I will point out that it doesn’t make a lot of sense to have Miles discover a worldwide conspiracy controlled by Jews who promote Zionism, and then assign him a sidekick who is Jewish and lives in Israel. It doesn’t exactly add to his credibility, now does it? And he has told me he has lost supporters for publishing my work. (For the record: I grew up in the US in a non-Zionist reform Jewish household and am decidedly not a Zionist nor do I believe in Judaism. I live in Israel because my wife was born here. And no, I’m not his sidekick).
Frankly, I cannot say that I begrudge him his mistrust. From his perspective, I can see how the red flags stack around me (though I don’t come from wealth and nobody in my family has been involved in intelligence work or anything like that). But as Miles wrote in his paper on PoM:
“It would be unfair to ditch [Josh] just because he is Jewish. Some people have claimed I jump to conclusions, but I don’t. I require a high level of evidence in everything I look at. Once I get to that level, I can make a fast decision, but I don’t proceed on hunches. Like anyone else, I start with hunches, but I don’t travel on them. I travel on a compilation of facts. Honestly, Josh is the toughest call I have had to make in my short career as a Truther. He admitted from the start he was in Israel, and my gut reaction was to dump him based only on that. Given what I have been discovering, the odds were very high he was trying to run some sort of confidence trick on me. However, odds don’t always pan out. Odds can give you a hunch, but they can’t provide a final decision. In Josh’s favor he has written two long and well researched papers on Gandhi and Dreyfus, in neither of which could I find any spin. They were good enough to publish, and I published them.”
So ask yourself: do you have enough facts at hand to conclude Miles is a limited hangout or the front for some kind of intelligence psyop? I myself have a lot of facts and evidence to suggest the opposite. Just because he has reached a different conclusion than you on the subject of the occult, or elite pedophilia, or transvestites, or chemtrails, or whatever doesn’t mean he is trying to direct people’s attention away from that. It just means he has a different opinion. To quote again from his paper on PoM: “Not everyone I disagree with is perforce an agent.” Plus, it’s not as if there isn’t a ton of other people covering those other topics, right? So why would Intelligence want to (mis)direct people away from those theories, which they appear in fact to be so heavily promoting? I believe he deserves the benefit of the doubt.
And if Miles is misdirecting or is a limited hangout, does that mean we should dismiss his entire corpus of work? That’s the implication we get, where “Robert” tells us it means that we can get some of our heroes back, even transparent propagandists like George Orwell. What? First of all, if Miles is a limited hangout, that means he has offered much good material along with false or misleading stuff. That’s how LH’s work, remember? So it’s quite a leap of logic there. You would want, I think, to go through and state exactly where you think he’s right and where you think he’s misdirecting so you don’t make the mistake of throwing the baby out with the bathwater. But “Robert” would have you believe that if Miles is a false guru, then the other gurus he has outed as false are actually real. Again, what? Look, if you want to reclaim a hero, you don’t have to prove to yourself that Miles is misdirecting. Just go back to whatever paper they appear in and figure out if and how Miles was wrong. You’d have to do that even if you think Miles is intentionally leading us astray.
In closing, I want to point out that “Robert” also claims that Kevin Starr’s recent piece on Miles’ genealogy shows us that “Mathis lies.” That’s funny, I don’t remember Kevin showing that in his paper at all. He asserts a couple of times that Miles has been disingenuous in hiding things he “must have known” about his ancestors, but has nothing to substantiate it with. In other words, Kevin doesn’t show that Mathis lies, he claims it. But through “Robert’s” alchemical sophistry, empty claims have somehow turned into convincing demonstrations. I for one, am not falling for it.
Update: Miles has a few cutting remarks to add in the latest addendum to his earlier response about his genealogy. And Vexman has now chimed in as well.
Later update: Mark Tokarski promises that more hit pieces are on the way. And I promise not to respond to them. This one took way too much time to compose as it is. I refuse to be baited into losing any more time on this subject. And anyway, judging from what I’ve seen so far I can already tell that whatever they have to say will be “not even wrong.” Just a lot of jealous bluster and disingenuous patter.
One thing I will say: I have never complained about not being able to comment over there. I simply pointed to the absurd hypocrisy of starting a blog whose purpose is “discussion” (it’s in the name of the blog for crying out loud!) and yet to forbid discussion. I believe this is the same point Miles is making, where he has seen on more than one occasion where discussion about his work has been shut down on forums that were created for discussion. But if your site was never created to allow discussion in the first place (see e.g., www.mileswmathis.com), then there is no hypocrisy, is there?
Also note the reason Mark gives for closing down discussion: “Team Mathis sits outside the gate waiting to be let in, and once that happens this blog will become a moonscape littered with debris.” Why is that? First off note the topsy-turvy depiction of reality. He gives you the impression that the site is being circled by Team Mathis jackals who will flood the gates once comments are enabled. But if you look at the comments of the genealogy post at the “discussion” site before they were shut down, it runs very much in favor of Kevin. Roughly 3 to 1 if not more, depending on whether you count posters or posts. No, the reason it would become a moonscape is because “Team Mathis” has the better of it and would continue to tear apart the “arguments” of the other side, littering the comments section with the debris of demolished sophistry, obliterated fallacies and dismembered straw men. Like in every other case where a discussion board has shut down discussion of Miles’ work, it is an act of desperation.
I could care less if Mark doesn’t allow discussion at any of his sites. I certainly won’t be commenting at any of them in the future even if he does open the gates. In fact it would be better if he didn’t allow comments, since he has allowed a once disciplined comment section at PoM to turn into a complete shill fest.
I turned off comments on this particular post since I did not want to be baited into wasting more of my time on it. I know my weaknesses. One of them is the urge to respond to disingenuous, poorly reasoned criticism about things I care deeply about, like, you know, the truth. So the only way to protect myself from that weakness is to close comments. It’s the same reason why I don’t keep any sweets in the house, either, since I know I won’t be able to resist. Will power is not my strong suit, and this second update is a testament to that. However, the comments on all the other entries in this blog are still active. And as always you can contact me directly via the contact page if you wish to pick up the gauntlet.
Further update: I woke up this morning with the realization that it was a mistake to close comments here. I knew that it might give the impression that I, too, am afraid of criticism and counter-arguments, whereas in fact I simply didn’t want to be bothered swatting flies. But the realization I had this morning is that the arguments on the other side are so bad that they defeat themselves. I don’t even need to respond. So I’m taking this as an exercise in self-control. Maybe it will even help me kick-start my diet. So I’ve opened comments — have at it! But keep it civil.
Update May 22: I’ve been meaning to get to this for awhile. Apparently after seeing that their attack on Miles (the one I responded to above) failed to land any punches or be taken seriously be all thinking people, they followed up by doubling down on some even more ridiculous, illogical and libelous accusations. These include the accusation that Miles is either a pedophile or a pederast who agreed to act as a front for TPTB in exchange for an easier sentence, namely house arrest. On top of that Miles is accused of having taken naked pictures of a young girl and put them in a book that he keeps in his house. At the same time they also accuse him of being homosexual, so go figure. The whole thing is beyond ridiculous. It is easy to look up people who have been convicted of sex crimes. I’ve done it. Miles isn’t on the list. Nor does he have a criminal record. That is also easy to confirm. You would have thought the snakes at PoM would have done that before posting such accusations and opening themselves to a libel suit, but as Miles has lamented, “How do you sue Intelligence?” I remember somebody once insinuated to Mark that his brother had probably been a pedophile since he was a Catholic priest. He was fit to be tied. But apparently it’s OK to accuse others of that based on zero evidence. The whole thing is really sickening.
And as for the book, well, of course they don’t let convicted sex offenders keep naked pictures of little girls around, do they? On top of that we have heard from Brandon, who attended the last conference that Miles hosted in 2016. Miles showed the “Tess Book” to Brandon on the last day of the conference, and Brandon says the pictures and paintings in the book are innocent and fully clothed. You can find many of them on Miles’ website and judge for yourself if they look sexualized in any way. How do we know Brandon was really at the conference, you ask? Because he sent a pictures he took of Miles sitting around a table at a restaurant flanked by conference attendees, including none other than Mark Tokarski.
With respect to house arrest, Mark was at the conference and left the house with Miles to go out to lunch on several occasions. If anybody should know that Miles isn’t on house arrest, it’s Mark. If anybody should know that Miles isn’t wearing an electronic monitoring ankle bracelet, it’s Mark. Why he would allow these absurd accusations to appear on his site is something I can’t explain. Maybe he’s still out to lunch.
I won’t bother responding to the rest of the stupidity with which they’ve padded their attack, but I will counter the whole thing with an equally plausible theory: I believe John Candy faked his death, lost some weight, dyed his hair, and re-emerged a few years later as the persona known as “Mark Tokarski.” They’re about the same age. And it would explain the Zamboni parked in front of his house on Google Earth satellite photos. Also note their striking resemblance and the way their ears, teeth, chin and nose match up. It’s a million-to-one shot, doc, million-to-one! Remember folks, face-chops don’t lie, only people do:
[Edit: It has come to my attention that some people aren’t getting the joke. They think I’m actually arguing that John Candy faked his death and was reassigned to the persona of Mark Tokarski. I am not. I am trying to make a point about the absurdity of the attacks against Miles by making an equally absurd argument about Mark. The inside joke here is that Mark used to use this same method where would take two famous people and line up their faces in this way. His hypothesis was that many of the old rockers and famous people from the 60’s or later faked their deaths and then were later re-assigned to a different role. So Janis Joplin became Amy Goodman, Jimmy Hendrix became Cornell West, Freddie Mercury became Dr. Phil, etc. etc. It says something about Mark’s discernment, which in turn tells us something about the merits of his recent decision to turn against Miles. The Candy-Tokarski “face chop” is a parody. It isn’t even original to me; I took it from here.]
Update May 26: In a separate post, I have collated information on the amount of people who visited and viewed this post in the first two weeks, as well as their countries of origin. I have also collated the supportive comments from this post and put them together here.
Update June 13: I am reprinting here a slightly edited version of my response to Allan Weispecker’s “open letter,” which he published on his blog in March 2017. I am also including some additional material from comments I have made here and elsewhere. He does not allow comments there, so I posted this originally in the comments at fakeologist (which devoted a post to the open letter), and also e-mailed to Allan, following which we had a brief back-and-forth over e-mail. Allan said he would correct the obvious errors that I pointed out in his original open letter, but since Allan is not a man of his word nor someone to be trusted, he of course never did. I am not going to link to his original letter nor to my response, but they can easily be found with google.
Allan showed up at some point in comments on this post, claiming that nobody had ever responded to his open letter, which of course was a lie. So why am I posting this now? Well the blog was just hit with a tsunami of trollish comments that refer back to some of Weispecker’s arguments. Although I don’t take these trolls seriously, I am adding this as a way of showing that they are full of shit. They claim nobody has ever responded to their points, but that’s false. They are deliberately lying. I am also adding this so that nobody can come to the comments section making the claims that they do. So without further ado, here is my original letter with some minor edits plus additional material:
I find your crusade against Miles to be misguided. And frankly many of your arguments just don’t wash. Now if I wanted to follow your method I’d say that because I find many of your arguments specious, it means you’re trying to use NLP to convince me that Miles is an LH when he’s really not. But I chalk it up to sour grapes. You wanted to come to Miles’s conference and he slammed the door in your face, so to speak. He said you’d ask questions no one would want to hear and be disruptive. So in the first case he doesn’t find what you do very interesting, which has got to sting. And as for being disruptive, well, you did write a book about yourself called “Can’t You Get Along with Anyone?” Is it any wonder he might think you’d be hard to get along with?
So let’s take a look at your arguments against him, starting with the weakest one, which appears in Part 2 of your open letter:
As background, it should be noted that you boasted that you don’t post much but when you do “it’s on the money.” You said that his “Paper Updates” are identical to the previous drafts. “In other words, his boasting on new information is totally bogus.” I literally did a face palm when I read that. The reason they are identical is that both the original links and the updated links point to the same document. You see, he doesn’t put up a new document with a new name for each update. He simply updates the paper, saves it with the same name, and uploads the new document as a replacement for the old one. So when you click on the original document, it links you to the updated one. You do understand how these things work, don’t you? Yes, you should. You seem to be pretty computer savvy. Plus, if you’ve ever read through one of his papers before the update (as I have on many occasions), then after the update, you can very clearly see the new information (which he always puts in [brackets] with the date of the update).
Now, if I were to use your “method” of deduction, I would say something like this: there is no possible way that this Allan character (or whoever the jokers are on the Weisbecker committee) could have made this mistake. He’s (they’re?) always telling us how careful he is and how it takes him forever to post because he waits until he’s absolutely sure and “on the money.” Plus he’s obviously very savvy with computers, having edited many videos on his own computer. He has his own website! This can’t possibly be an honest mistake. There is no way he could be that completely and utterly stupid. He’s clearly using deceit and NLP to make us think that Miles is deceiving us on that. No, it’s obvious to me now (although it took me awhile to suck in my gut and admit it to myself), that he’s LH. But why? Why the bald-faced lies?
Almost all of your other criticism chalks up to: I don’t agree with him or I think his argument is specious, therefore he is using NLP and trying to misdirect. Can you see how the conclusion doesn’t really follow from the premises? What a non sequitur it is? (Miles tried to show you that in his “beautiful logic” response to you [“Because I don’t know everything I am a limited hangout? Beautiful logic.”], but it obviously didn’t sink in.)
See, I just caught you lying to your readers, didn’t I? You seem to think Miles is infallible and therefore any sign of fallibility is clearly a sign of misdirection. That’s a pretty high bar and one that you’ve just hit your head on in an unforced error, ya dingus! Or rather I should say, you lying hypocrite!
You say that he must know why the JFK assassination was hoaxed, and is just misdirecting on the reasons why. Again, it’s a non sequitur. Why should he know? You might disagree with his argument about the motives for it (as I do), but that doesn’t mean he’s trying to misdirect. In all your flailing and finger-pointing, did you offer us a better idea of what the motive is? Instead of just saying: “I disagree, here’s why, and here’s a better hypothesis” all you can do is shout “NLP!” and dance around pointing fingers.
The real irony, though, is that you take his inability to provide a convincing motive for the JFK assassination as evidence of misdirection, while you yourself offer up not a single argument about what Miles’s motives are in his misdirection. You say his genealogy work is bunk and his focus on Jews is unimportant. So if you think he’s pointing us in the wrong direction, can you tell us what he’s misdirecting us away from? Or, as you did with Corbett, what lies he is trying to get us to unthinkingly accept? If you’re so far ahead of us, why don’t you tell us what his motive is? And if you can’t or if I disagree with you, then by your standards that means you must be a LH.
Same thing with your arguments about what you call his “guilt by association” tactics, his “faulty” inferences about genealogy, and most of your other criticisms as well. You’re grasping at straws, which you take as “big clues,” and then have the temerity to say that Miles is a LH because he does the same. It would be far more constructive, and in my view, to engage in a substantive critique. It is actually possible to disagree with someone and tell them “I think you’re wrong about this” without saying “therefore you’re obviously an LH engaged in NLP.” That would actually be far more interesting. And mature.
As for your assetion that Clues Forum is in cahoots with Miles: I agree with you that CF is a limited hangout and part of what I call “operation fantasy land.” Flat Earth is part of operation fantasy land. So is the CF position that rockets don’t work in a vacuum. But your attacks on them are completely irrelevant to Miles. What, because you don’t agree with their criticism of Miles it’s evidence that they are colluding with him? Come on! They have trashed him and his work every which way and left. By the way, your time would be better spent reading Miles’s work on physics than coming up with a hatful of specious and tenuous (and disingenuous?) arguments for why he’s an LH.
Your pinpointing of his British-isms is very tenuous. Yes, it’s true that you wouldn’t expect someone from Texas to use those colloquialisms, but the words “nobody from Texas would” could be used to describe most other things about Miles. He’s very unique, to say the least. And not just for a Texan. If you’ve read his poetry, you will see that he has a very broad vocabulary. So I don’t find it impossible to believe that he peppers his language with British slang. And if he has spent time with British people in the past, he might have picked up on a few expressions. It seems to me to be just as plausible that it is a quirk—even if he is from Texas.
[Here I’m going to add parts of my response to a troll named “Ricky” who brought up the Britishisms in a comment, which is also something the latest wave of trolls are coming back to:
“Alright folks, we’ve got a live one here. His IP address pins him to Arlington or Alexandra, VA, which is of course spitting distance from Langley. And he uses a non-existent e-mail address….
Miles later wrote to me about [the Britishisms] in an e-mail, which I will share here:
“I don’t feel like I have to explain everything to trolls, and most times prefer not to answer them, but on the topic of my “Britishisms”, it is really no different than my occasional use of French or Latin. I know this stuff, so I sometimes insert it as color. I do that less than I used to, one because some readers see it as showing off and two because others see it as chaff. They don’t know these things and don’t want to look anything up. The Britishisms are somewhat different, because I use them for a slightly different reason. I usually use them to avoid American obscenities, since–being foreign–they seem slightly less raw. Some of my readers complain any time I use the word shit or fuck, and shite just seems to me to be a one-step tone down, for example. To my ear, it is a little less raw and a little more funny, just because it is British. Maybe that is just me.
“I did live in Europe and hang with Brits, so these words did jump in my bag, so to speak. The other thing is that I have read a lot, as anyone can tell, and that reading has been heavy with British novels, going back centuries. Also, I wrote the Lord of the Rings sequel, putting it as far as possible into British English, down to the spellings, in order to match the feel of Tolkien. Some of that rubbed off, like the way I usually put final quotation marks inside the period, for instance. In some cases, the British usage makes more sense to me, and I have never understood why American final quotes are hanging outside the period. But since I am not anal about this stuff, it can vary depending on my mood. I get emails from people bothered by this, but I just ignore it. If, given all my content, they wish to talk about that, I can’t be bothered.”
Well, to his credit he can’t be baited into wasting his time responding to these idiotic “arguments,” but I can unfortunately. What he said rings true to me, because I can relate: I had an advisor in grad school who was Australian, and some of his expressions have rubbed off on me. I still find myself using them some 15 years after graduating. Words like “reckon,” “wombat,” “get stuffed,” and “dingus,” As in: “I reckon you’re a right dingus, ‘Ricky.’ Get stuffed, you wombat.”]
<Back to my original response:>
One more thing: you repeat again and again in the Part II post that nobody on the Clues Forum thread addressed your argument about the microphone shadow. (Frankly I’m still confused about what your argument is as to why he didn’t point that out.) But that’s also a lie. In that thread I responded to your specious argument about his “impossible” word count, and in this comment I specifically responded to your shadow argument:
“And as for the microphone shadow, I’m not convinced you’re right, mainly because it’s a bit difficult to say exactly what position the mic is in. If you look at the shadow cast by Jack Ruby, it goes behind him and to the right. Well the shadow is also behind the mic and to the right. The angle looks a little off, but it’s hard to say for sure given that the location of the mic vis-a-vis the lights is hard to triangulate. But if it’s off, it’s only a little bit off. Maybe MM didn’t answer you because he also didn’t think you were right.
“If you’re right, then it’s hard to say why someone would have added that in there. Your conclusion is that it is a sign that the clues pointing towards a hoax were placed deliberately for us to think the event was hoaxed when in fact it was real. In other words, you’re saying the hoax is a hoax. I suppose it’s possible, but I doubt it. If it was indeed pasted in, I would guess it’s one of those little details they’ve added to troll us. They love trolling us.”
Do you realize how badly you’ve torpedoed your credibility with these demonstrably false accusations? Why should anybody believe any claim you make if you can’t get basic facts straight? Or as you would say: Your claim that nobody ever addressed the microphone shadow is another lie. But why, Allan, why the bald-faced lie?
I could go on and enumerate other problems with your argument and provide you will all the other evidence I have and reasons I believe that he is NOT an LH. (Though of course I cannot rule out the possibility). I could also go on and dissect your arguments to expose the “hidden” workings of your NLP. But I think I’ve made my point, and I’ve got better things to do.
[That’s the end of my response, but I want to add something else. If you look at the video coverage of the Oswald ‘assassination,’ you’ll see that there are bright flood lights in front of the scene from different angles. This means that the camera flash was not the only thing lighting this scene. I just went back to the JFK paper to look again at the picture in question and found this addendum Miles added to the JFK paper in February: More indication of that was found by other researchers after I published this paper. Although I used very little of the research of others in compiling this paper originally, a small amount of good research has come out afterwards, possibly in response to my findings. A YouTube video posted by Amy Joyce in 2017 compares the still photos to the films, tracking the camera flashes. She finds flashes for the photos of Jack Beers and others, but none for the iconic Bob Jackson photo above. I will be told he shot without a flash, but we can see that isn’t true. The shadows we see are from a flash, since they are cast directly backwards. If he had been relying on the lights above, the shadows would cast down. This means the event was run at least twice, which explains the discontinuities I find just below.]
Now nobody can come a callin’ parroting Weispecker and claiming in good faith that his points haven’t been addressed. They may not find it satisfactory, but if so they should say why. Therefore it is with a clean consciences I can say that henceforth, ANY comment that repeats Allan’s specious arguments without substantively addressing my response or Miles’ addendum–and especially any claims that Allan’s points haven’t been addressed–will be deleted. It’s that simple.

When I go to http://mileswmathis.com/ I get a brief message about Parkingcrew. A google search on that suggests it is an advertiser link site, though there are no advertisements there at present. After the previous incident with Miles losing home internet access, it seems that isn’t enough for the PTB, they now need to stifle free speech by hacking the site itself. Maybe its the first mission for those two shitpigs who faked their deaths on London Bridge. I guess they don’t like the worlds biggest shopping channel used for the promotion of truth.

I was corresponding with Miles right at the time this happened, and about something potentially explosive. If for any reason he is prevented from taking it further, I WILL.

I’ll bite. What is the explosive news? Pray tell.
It’s so much fun thinking for yourself and all these papers keep that torch alive. Changing ones beliefs is not an easy process. It takes stick-to-it-iveness and constant reinforcement. And these papers do just that.
I’ll just be here chomping on popcorn waiting for your reply. 😉

Oh wait a minute…there someone at the door………….
As an aside….can you lot imagine being allergic to beer? Nightmare right?
Well guess what gluten sensitivity does to you every time you have beer.
You got it……not nice!
I had a similar reaction to breads and pastas etc. I even found myself drinking Daura Damm to weave my way through the maze.
Then I heard about yeast overgrowth. Which comes from having taken a broad spectrum antibiotics course, at anytime during my existence, which wreaks havoc on your gut flora. You have to repair it.
Anyways to cut it short I did a 1 month yeast detox and now I can actually eat breads again and enjoy the sh!t outta beer. No pun intended, of course, cause I know what you’re talking about.
But look into it, it’s worth it. If you want a short cut, here it is: avoid grain, sugar and dairy for 3 months. That’ll help detox the yeast overgrowth in your gut. Eat garlic like you’re afraid of vampires and that’ll help too.
Again I am only telling you what I did to get over gluten sensitivity. Def look it up.
Cheers and good luck. Just know that you can get over it. 🙂
EGGHEAD:
It is specific grains that cause the symptoms. I make my own bread using half white/half wholewheat ‘spelt’ flour. I don’t get a reaction. If I eat cake, biscuits, or bought bread, even gluten free oat crackers, I get a severe reaction. I can drink lagers and some beers with only a slight reaction, but I tried, for the first time, a can of Carlsberg SKOL ruby lager….absolutely delicious by the way…and had a heck of a reaction (malted barley). Always react 10 to 12 hours after ingesting, so it doesn’t seem like a small intestine problem, more of an irritable bowel one.
So I’ve narrowed it down to highly specific barley, oat and wheat grains. Some cause mayhem but others seemingly zero effect. Am I reacting to high levels of glyphosate? Possibly, as the cheaper, more mass produced products seem to cause the biggest reaction. The more organic and pricey the item, the less likely I am to react. GM might be a problem too as regards the organic side of things. Its a long hard struggle for someone who eaten loads of bread their whole life. Only hit me slowly, gathering pace over about the past 5 or 6 years. My high intake of milk and cheap orange juice around 5 years ago may have caused the initial inflammation.
I’ve almost eliminated sugar, and most grains from my diet and just have to wean myself off a small amount of strong cheese, then dairy will be gone. Thing is though, I can tolerate the couple of ounces of cheese per week, yet turn into a walking disaster area 12 hours after a single can of beer. So although dairy may well be contributing to the inflammation, it isn’t the main trigger of the symptoms.
Antibiotics are going to play a part somewhere I’m sure. Our doggy had a bad ear infection and after a long course of special antibiotics (re: expensive), his guts were in turmoil for a few weeks. I had two courses of antibiotics around 5 years ago, so pinning down a single direct cause is almost impossible. Maybe they all played a part because my guts were indestructible before this. I did have IBS about, roughly, 20 years ago, ate lots of dairy at the time but also had antibiotics for a chest infection brought on by two doses of flu within weeks of each other. Went veggie after about 10 months of suffering and the IBS went away.
I should eat more garlic that is true. It certainly gets you more space in a queue at the post office…..

Ollie said:
Concerning gluten-sensitivity. Have you looked into FODMAPs and most importantly, amylase-trypsin inhibitors?
I’ve seen the FODMAP diet Ollie but some of the inclusions are extremely high in carotenoids. Goji berries are off the scale. High levels of vitamin C but you can get that elsewhere without the trade off. I’m already eating most of the healthy veg and legumes etc on that list, just not the dodgy ones.
I haven’t read a great deal about amylase-trypsin inhibitors, because they lean too heavily on blaming your own faulty genetics, and also describe the effects on people who already suffer from Coeliac’s, nicely fitting in with their blame the genes narrative.
My genes were perfectly okay until the age of 55 then wham! No other family member has had a similar problem, only me.
The retinol toxicity theory makes lots of sense, causing inflammation and cell death in the small intestine, as far as Coeliacs is concerned at least. There’s a huge number of people suffering gut disorders after taking high doses of retinol for acne. There lies the connection. So logically, anyone taking cod liver oil or eating animal liver regularly runs a similar risk. There’s a website dedicated to people who have suffered gut damage after taking acne treatments.

@Russell Taylor:
It’s crazy enough that we’re even having this convo right? My grandma just turned 90 and has no issues at all. Besides some vericose and minor arthritis she’s still kickin butt. My father in law at 78 eats whatever the hell he likes, including huge bowls of ice cream daily.
Why we’re having this conversation, I believe, is we are navigating a different mine field then they had to. Besides growing up rural, both of them, they had the awesome poor people luxury of eating whole home cooked foods their early years. Meaning at least the first 40 years of their lives.
Today, the food supply is rigged to explode at every turn. Why they hell do we have to study nutrition and health just to be able to shop at the grocery store. It’s crazy to say the least.
Just to be able to narrow down the causes of your aches takes some real effort.
At least in all this haze we know, from reading Miles’ papers of course, that the profiteers are constantly at it. The food supply is one of their favorite places to wreak havoc. When I go to sprouts to get 1 dozen eggs and a couple pints of unpasteurized cream and unpasteurized cheese and butter I damn near have to sit down with a closer and finance the deal. What the hell, right?
The proof is there in front of us. Like you say, our grandparents starved during the world wars and ate meagre, simple foods and were still dancing into their late 80s and 90s. I talk to young women today who have severe arthritis, Coeliacs, MS even early onset dementia and most of these women are in their 30s to early 40s. Gawd help ’em if they ever reach 60. They’ll all be wheelchair bound.
When you look at 90% of the FODMAP it’s very basic unadulterated foods. We need to go back to that. More cabbage and less passion fruit.
I see a future where you get a grant to turn a room in your home into a medical room.
You won’t go to stay in hospital, the surgeon or doctor or specialist will come to you. Great idea in practise because it isolates ill people therefore helping prevent the spread of disease. You won’t have hundreds of people milling around the hospital corridors spreading flu or MRSA. Nobody will have to wait for hours on a trolley in a corridor because there isn’t an empty bed. The whole hospital could be run as a huge and highly efficient A&E. Long term patients will stay home. They are already starting to implement something like this in the UK. My mum had a visit where she was asked if she would like to be treated at home, instead of using an ambulance and crew, the next time she threw a wobbler. She actually prefers that method of treatment due to the waiting she has to suffer when she is admitted to hospital. The NHS is in the final stages of privatisation anyway, so it looks as though this is one of the big changes around the corner. Takes away much of the cost to the private trusts who run the hospitals. They admit that much, that it saves a lot of money.
Another case of problem – reaction – solution I guess. Run the NHS into the ground, while putting in place all the private infrastructure, then, when things are incredibly bad, and people are sick of being sick, offer up the alternative….we are going to have to privatise the NHS! Then sweeten the deal by telling everyone how wonderful the new privatised service is going to be. Now where have I heard all that before? Ahh yes….Obama-Care?
Sorry! Rant over….
One good thing we could do for our health is walk barefoot or at least try to ground yourself to the earth once a day for whatever time you have.
This goes well with miles’s diminished charge of the earth right now.
This might sound crazy…. but I was thinking about running a wire from my arm to a grounding pipe in the basement to see if it had any affect.
If we could find a way of getting more charge that would be nice.
“Emerging scientific research has revealed a surprisingly positive and overlooked environmental factor on health: direct physical contact with the vast supply of electrons on the surface of the Earth. Modern lifestyle separates humans from such contact. The research suggests that this disconnect may be a major contributor to physiological dysfunction and unwellness. Reconnection with the Earth’s electrons has been found to promote intriguing physiological changes and subjective reports of well-being. Earthing (or grounding) refers to the discovery of benefits—including better sleep and reduced pain—from walking barefoot outside or sitting, working, or sleeping indoors connected to conductive systems that transfer the Earth’s electrons from the ground into the body.”
“Mounting evidence suggests that the Earth’s negative potential can create a stable internal bioelectrical environment for the normal functioning of all body systems. Moreover, oscillations of the intensity of the Earth’s potential may be important for setting the biological clocks regulating diurnal body rhythms, such as cortisol secretion”
“Modern lifestyle has increasingly separated humans from the primordial flow of Earth’s electrons. For example, since the 1960s, we have increasingly worn insulating rubber or plastic soled shoes, instead of the traditional leather fashioned from hides. Rossi has lamented that the use of insulating materials in post-World War II shoes has separated us from the Earth’s energy field . Obviously, we no longer sleep on the ground as we did in times past.”
“During recent decades, chronic illness, immune disorders, and inflammatory diseases have increased dramatically, and some researchers have cited environmental factors as the cause. However, the possibility of modern disconnection with the Earth’s surface as a cause has not been considered. Much of the research reviewed in this paper points in that direction.”
Crazy in a thunderstorm but….
The walking barefoot is a great idea. We use an ioniser and have it running while in bed at night. You don’t realise the benefits until you stop using it for a week.
Negative ions, same near the beach or a waterfall.
Josh said:
There are plenty of companies that offer earthing equipment. Such as earthing.com
I think there are more factors involved in addition to charge. Resonance is also important. It’s seems the Schumann resonance is shifting for reasons unknown. This may reduce the effectiveness of earthing.
Alan Ackley said:
The Schumann resonance can’t possibly shift much. It is a function of the size of the planet, and might only shift a tiny bit with the shape of the ionosphere. There could, however be other similar frequencies superimposed on it. I looked into one such reported shift a few years back and it appeared to be a frequency related to the size of Titan (Saturn’s moon) echoing around here for whatever reason. Perhaps there are geometric (astrology related?) reasons why resonances from other solar system planets vary in their effect here on Earth.
So you admit to finding an external force from Titan, possibly affecting the Earth’s resonance. So what if the Sun had a sudden change of character? Would this have a far greater, and as yet unknown/unforeseen, effect on the Earth’s resonance? Changes in the Suns characteristics have been monitored and continue to cause concern, due to the corresponding and accelerating shift in Earth’s magnetic poles. Maybe nothing to worry about. But just think. If the solar system is about to go through an area of weak charge, which could cause the solar output to plunge, then everything Miles has said about how his basic theory works still stands, but also conjures up thoughts of where the old stories of cannibalism and zombie apocalypse come from. If a grand solar minimum can cause social unrest and individuals to feel malaise, then imagine if the solar charge output went off a cliff and dropped far more than expected. Did this happen to cause the Maunder and Dalton periods – the dark ages for instance? So this resonance may play an extremely important role in the survival of the species, short term.
Is Titan a signal, a precursor which should be monitored more closely for change? Maybe it is a useful warning beacon to help us predict future changes.
We know the human nervous system has various resonances below 30 Hz, and the various planets produce frequencies in this same range so of course there are interactions. Titan was just one example, that happens to be at a frequency near that of Earth’s so the superimposition of the signal can look like a change in Earth’s frequency.
These influences have been here all along and are not so likely to change much but other far larger changes are happening, such as the world wide poisoning by glyphosate and myriad other toxins. Also the introduction of cell phones, 4G and 5G. The resonance of the sun and the planets are mostly stable influences that are not causing the giant shifts we are seeing around us.
I didn’t mean to imply that the sun’s heat output isn’t driving climate change. It probably is. However its resonant frequency is not about to change.
What about the frequency staying the same, which does seem a given, but the strength of the resonance weakening? It is weakening charge which seems to affect us humies….
Yes, the power in the planetary resonant signals is always changing. The Schumann resonance is said to be fed by lightning strikes. If something were to discharge the ionosphere that would really screw things up. I am not convinced we know much about the sun in this regard.

Whatever happened to those old time visiting doctors with the little black bag?
They now have a huge black briefcase and only come calling if you are dying. Otherwise you have to book them in advance. You ring up at bang on 8am. They keep you waiting for 40 minutes, then when you get through they say all the appointments are gone…(if you don’t die in the next 24hrs…call again at 8am tomorrow and we’ll see what we can do)…I made that bit up but it’s fairly accurate.
Seemed it was only a matter of time before his page was taken down. Internet censorship is happening, especially with Joutube. However since Mile’s main website is up, maybe he just forgot to renew his webpage registration. Miles should chime in here soon and fill us in…

Miles’ history/art site is back up and was likely just down for maintenance. I’m going to back up the entire thing now just in case, since I needed the Ben Franklin paper earlier and only have all his physics papers backed up locally.
They didn’t take him down, guys. Relax a little. 🙂
When you say backup are you referring to being able to download all the pdf.’s at once? I’d like to do that. What app or software is necessary? Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.
Yes, of course. It’s really easy to do if you’re using Firefox. If you’re not, just install Firefox specifically for this function, perhaps? I don’t use other browsers (except Waterfox sometimes) but then install this add-on, called “Download Links” for Firefox:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/download-links/
The page looks like this:
Click the Install button (where it says REMOVE on mine since I already have it installed) and then allow Firefox to install the add-on.
Next, go to Miles’ page(s) and up at the top right on your tool bar you’ll see a red arrow-box, now. Click it to bring up the Download Links dialogue:
Click the TEXT button to select PDFs, and you should see the number something like in my screenshot unless he’s published more since, obviously. Then click the “Filter Files” button near the bottom to begin the downloads.
It took about 40 seconds to download them all on my end, but speeds may vary.
After that of course you can sort them however you like. Hope this helps keep Miles’ papers alive, even when things go awry.
Oh man, very cool. Didn’t real-eyes it was that easy. Took me all of about 2 minutes (dsl over here) for his complete updates page. 390 total papers as of today. Shweet! Thanks again.

Pfffft. I knew this already. You wouldn’t catch me clicking on every single frickin’ PDF link in a panic to try and get Miles’ papers from the Mirror site onto my computer, just in case a spook purge was about to happen. No sirree Bob, I was using the..um…what is that extremely useful Add-On called again? “Download Links”! Of course. And I knew that already. Ahem.
I would thank Jared profusely for sharing knowledge of this amazing tool but I can’t because I knew about it already. No really 😉
Cheers Jared — lovely tool and thanks again for sharing.
Well Nevyn has his entire science/physics site mirrored and backed up constantly, but not his art/history/critique site (that I know of). So I figured it would be a good idea to have a couple local copies so that in any event, we could always reshare them if need be – or re-send them all back to Miles if anything really sinister happened. Mind you that’s only 390 of them – the older, HTML papers have to be done a different way. But I’ll work on that tonight too and then send Miles a copy of it all or something, if possible. I don’t know.
Miles, I assume you don’t mind since you published these freely for us all. If you do mind, just say the word and Josh can eradicate this subthread.
I use Opera and it has a PDF making facility in the right click menu. Just right click on the page and select ‘save as PDF’. Works a treat and quick too.
You can always print a webpage TO .PDF, Russell, but that’s not the same as batch-saving every PDF at once. PDF is not the ideal format for these papers – except that it makes it so they can’t be tampered with as easily. So that’s why Miles uses it primarily. The formatting in the PDFs is terrifying since the carriage returns aren’t built-in but it makes sense from a security perspective.

I use httrack. It’s a website copier. Makes an image of the site to your computer. It copies both the pdf’s and the older html files:
I was thinking more along the lines of Miles’ older papers which are in html format. PDF’s seem to read better on just about anything especially phones and e-readers.
If you batch save the html’s, don’t they only open in a browser page?
I guess I disagree. Miles’ PDFs are absolutely unreadable on phones, and I assume he never cared. I mean I guess if you turn on auto-tilt and flip it sideways you could read a paper on your phone? But otherwise you’re panning back and forth with every sentence. Unless you have a tablet, I guess? I have a huge phone (Moto Z4) and still wouldn’t ever read a paper on it.
That’s not a bash at Miles’ formatting, which I’ve discussed elsewhere and it makes perfect sense and they PRINT great so who cares about dumb phones? I don’t really. I use mine for the 48-megapixel ridiculous camera and to make fun of fake science on Facebook and that’s about it. Oh, I guess for WORK too, but that’s boring. 😉
I have read some of his papers on my phone just as you say: in landscape with my phone sideways. Especially when I’m traveling. Not ideal but definitely do-able
Another great resource for reading all your favorite Miles papers on your phone, tablet or even computer, etc., is to use the great Calibre program: “Calibre (stylised calibre) is a cross-platform open-source suite of e-book software. Calibre supports organizing existing e-books into virtual libraries, displaying, editing, creating and converting e-books, as well as syncing e-books with a variety of e-readers.”
You can batch convert pdf’s and html, etc., to any e-book type you want. Great program and runs on any platform you might have.
For example, if I use a kindle reader on my phone, I can enlarge the type, turn the background dark, and enjoy reading without having to zoom in. Plus all the photos will be there. It also takes the first page of the PDF and converts it to a cover page.
Forgot about Calibre. I use that – pc and phone – which is probably why I can read PDF’s easily on my phone…..Jared Josh >>> https://calibre-ebook.com/demo
Thanks for the reminder DKUEHNE
@ dkuehne: Thanks for the tip on Calibre! Good lookin’ out.
I’m commenting on this fresh because I have some questions and I think Miles can help, but I think others might be able to help too and I’d not like to put all the pressure on him constantly to answer things that might be obvious in his paper, but that I missed.
Josh said: “I think there are more factors involved in addition to charge. Resonance is also important. It’s seems the Schumann resonance is shifting for reasons unknown. This may reduce the effectiveness of earthing.”
On the surface that seems fine, but what IS resonance? In this case, resonance is “ELF” radiation, Extremely Low Frequency photons at 3Hz-30Hz, with very long wavelengths of 100,000 to 10,000 kilometers.
So that’s charge, as well. Those are 2-spin “b-photons”, perhaps up to 4-spin photons. But they’re still just charge, only without as many spins as radio or micro or infrared, obviously. Schumann didn’t know what charge is but we do now.
So my question would be, regarding Solar Minimum charge level from the sun…
“If the net LOCAL charge remains roughly the same, as measured by temperature (infrared photons being the average charge photon, the most common among the spectrum), then how does the Solar Minimum affect us other than a variance of the VARIETY of charge photons of different spins?”
That is to say, if the temperature in my room is the same due to artificial means, which it is because I’m definitely not freezing this winter and haven’t been freezing any winter except when I’m outside, that is because we’re introducing artificially enough photons into the local environment to NOT freeze. The heat (or photon density in the given volume) is the same, solar minima or none, because of heating devices. I have central air but also three stupid computers and a plasma, so my main heater is generally OFF in the winter since these other devices heat the room almost TOO much anyway.
So what photons am I missing, physiologically?
I mean I totally get that there’s a variance. But I for one have no indications of any LACK of energy, due to the solar minimum or anything else. I’ve had the absolute best year of my life. Everything changed and I’m doing very well, for the first time in decades I feel not just solid but also flexible enough to take on whatever life throws my way. Yes, that’s subjective and “just me” possibly. But back to the physics of it…
Does this make any sense?
And what if the “Schumann Resonance” is only a fuss?
https://skeptoid.com/episodes/4352
We might not always be able to understand the exact reason why something works.
Regarding the Schumann resonance frequency, note what you get when you divide the speed of light by the circumference of the Earth. The resonant cavity is between the ground and the ionosphere, so it is a tiny bit bigger than the surface circumference.
When you look at the patchwork of magnetic anomalies across the Earth’s surface, I guess you could live in an area which has more charge than your old place whether it’s 20 miles or 50 miles away. Maybe lots of underground water or a change from limestone to granite will affect the flow of charge, maybe making it less or more direct or say, focused upward, more or less erratic? Just a localised effect? Even the foundations of your home may play a significant role.
Maybe that’s why people like climbing mountains?
Is it because a mountain is shaped like a pyramid…. and at the top there is possibly more charge?
Also…. swimming in the ocean would mean that your body is completely immersed in the charge and grounding of the earth?
(unless you have a rubber wetsuit)
There’s a higher, erm, residual electrical current(?) flow in the sea than there is on land. Or is it potential voltage between ground and the atmosphere. Or both? Yes, I think it’s the atmospheric voltage potential. Its slightly higher over water than it is over land. Which is one of the reasons that a hurricane forms over the ocean but fizzles out when it moves over land. As the voltage potential weakens, the hurricane loses a lot of it’s power….literally. I think I read somewhere, that there are more lightning strikes in a storm over the ocean than there are in similar storms over land. Same reason.
Miles’ pyramid theory is based on the body and skin of the pyramid being made from different stone. The main structure being granite but the outer layer limestone, the two having different conductivity. Acts like a sort of capacitor, kind of focusing charge rather than letting it just zap off into the atmosphere in more randomised directions.
Mountains are not the same and many are made up of folded sedimentary layers so wouldn’t focus charge in the same way a pyramid would. The size differential alone would negate any localised charge focusing. I believe Miles mentioned mountains and said they would probably have a negative effect, blocking charge rather than focusing it. I’ll have to re-read the paper.
Static charge on a sphere is distributed on the outer surface with the most charge (voltage) on high points like mountains. Pointy things release charge into the air faster than smooth surfaces, so pine needles and pyramid tips would be surrounded with more statically charged air.
When working on high voltage air ionizers you could turn out the lights in the room and observe a violet corona discharge on pointy tips, generally at or above around 7000 volts, if there were a ground or opposite polarity nearby. Pointy tips definitly increase the discharge rate into the air. In the case of the Earth the opposite polarity is the Van Allen belt above most of the atmosphere.
I live near Pikes Peak and often see a little cloud formation right above the Peak where the air must be a bit more ionized.
But maybe there are special mountains that have a different makeup that are the “Sacred Mountains” that have the charge?
“RE tony martin said:
So do a study and report back to us. A book on the various mountains:
https://www.amazon.com/Sacred-Mountains-World-Edwin-Bernbaum/dp/0871567121/
I do wonder if there has ever been a study of the distribution of the surface charge on the Earth, perhaps a satellite to do this? I used a non-contact voltmeter that could measure voltage at a set distance… The voltages must change with every weather front and solar storm
Viable or poppycock? Help me decide. Seems feasible to me. Also close to the tip of the pyramid analogy from Miles paper.
One thing is certain, the atmosphere has a shit load of electrical power available.
We just need to find a new way to harvest it, instead of burning coal and spinning magnets.

I think Tesla figured it out, and built the prototype at Northcliffe. I believe JP Morgan had it ripped down because there was no way to monetise free energy. We just need to get the patents out of JP Morgans safe. At least that is what I’ve read in a book entitled, “The Man who invented the twentieth century” by Robert Lomas. Published by Dowager books. I haven’t spook tested the author or anything but it seems sincere. A very interesting read and a bit heart breaking considering he died alone and unthanked yet without doubt transformed the world. Shame there wasn’t a Miles around at the time to warn him about the cryptos really, the world might have been an infinitely better place.
“Shame there wasn’t a Miles around at the time…”
I think you’ll find Miles is getting the same treatment today. They will read his work, use anything they can utilise for their own monetary gain, and give Miles no credit whatsoever. Tesla, and others, were used and abused….no different today.
Even when half the cars in the parking lot have Tesla’s name on them, it’ll still be someone else who’s making money off his legacy.
RE: Russell Taylor Atmospheric electricity:
There is certainly power there to trickle charge your batteries. Tesla put a metal plate at the top of a small tower and used it to charge a capacitor. When it had enough voltage on it it could deliver a pulse into the battery. The scheme in the pdf to harness this with 10,000 ft towers (balloons?) is ambitious but there may be a downside, I will mention in a minute.
Tesla also had Wardenclyff tower, which investor JP Morgan blocked when he discovered that Tesla intended to supply unmetered electrical power to the world. With a giant copper ball at the top of the tower, of wood construction with no nails or metal in the supports, the ball was to be electrified with a large Tesla coil to millions of volts. Seems to me this could have drawn a huge amperage oscillating up and down the tower fed by the charge of the planet.
All the life forms of Earth are fed by the Earth’s corona discharge with the pointy tips of every plant being an ion emitter. If we were to tap the power of the planet on a large enough scale it seems possible we could upset the natural balance. I have already seen that placing ionizer needles on a tower will reduce the voltage on the tower thus reducing the number of lightning strikes on the tower (thus saving some radio equipment). If we tap off ion power everywhere we will also reduce lightning strikes everywhere. This will directly reduce the power in the Schumann resonance, and may also eventually reduce the overall voltage in the Earth – ionosphere gap. This may also reduce the shielding of the Earth to bombardment by cosmic rays. This power is replenished by the solar wind, but the incoming solar current is not likely to increase when we decide we want to divert it to other uses.
Tesla, although he was undoubtedly a genius, was not beyond the law of unintended consequences. Later in life he remarked on his own folly at sticking his head into the rotating magnetic field of an AC armature to demonstrate it’s safety. Though I hate to admit it, JP Morgan may have done us all a favor when he blocked the progress at Wardenclyff.
I assure you I am not going to lay out my tastiest ideas in a public forum, but there are other ways to harvest some of this energy. Seems like zero point energy may be better in the long run, but consider that if we tap the wheel works of the universe for energy this will definitely warm up the planet, if only to use it for heating and air conditioning.
Consider that our life forms are adapted for living on the negative plate of a gigantic planetary capacitor, where there is an abundance of free electrons. This causes a predominance of certain types of chemical reactions. Our very lives are dependent on having our blood remain in an alkaline state. I really do have serious doubts about the sanity of inventors seeking to charge batteries by drawing down all the static charge in the air.
I see the same thing above Mt. Rainier almost constantly, Alan. It’s wonderful to behold, as well! It’s so gorgeous. I can’t even imagine living anywhere else, the Mountain is a huge part of my life here!
“I really do have serious doubts about the sanity of inventors seeking to charge batteries by drawing down all the static charge in the air.”
Good point…I never thought about that before.

That’s a most interesting piece of info. Did PTB resort to a classic trick with it, inventing a new PC virus detectable only by PDF’s signature coming from Miles? Or is this only in relation to your Win7 which is the most insecure OS ever written per se?
I checked that file with 20+ different AV platforms and results show it’s clean and secure to download/read. https://i.imgur.com/XKPCYZT.jpg
What AV platform are you using?
Kaspersky antivirus for windows 7 version 20.0.14.1085 (g) Browser firefox 71.0. Just retried (21:25 CEST ) and got the same warning. OK could be a false positive. Haven’t tried other devices/software yet
According to Kapersky’s website on Trojan “Badur”:
https://threats.kaspersky.com/en/threat/Trojan.PDF.Badur/
“A PDF document “booby-trapped” with a link that leads to a site with questionable content.”
Looks like someone is false flagging Miles papers at Kapersky. I’d uninstall that.
@Philip Cox
What you say makes sense. PDFs can contain hyperlinks. Whether their assignment as booby traps is false positive or by intent is difficult to say.
Actually there might be a bad link in there, pg 17 at the bottom last paragraph. I reviewed most or all of them and some links are broken, but this one gave me trouble. WordPress won’t let me put the link here either.
Don’t click on that unless you have your e-shields up. It seems it tries to install a bad addon through Firefox, spyware or whatever. My adblocker (UOrigin) has this url blacklisted as ‘badware’. I pushed through it and looks like either the host sold out to pirates or they hijacked this one. He could have been linking to a controlled op site without realizing.
I noticed many broken links with older Miles papers. It happens as sites shutdown or change addresses, but this could be intent as well. At this point I’d say intent. The name Kaczynski links up to Lech Kaczynski, former Polish prime minister and the whole who was mysteriously killed along with some top brass in the 2010 Smolensky air disaster. Lots of conspiracy surrounding that of course. I noticed on Kasperksy’s Lab’s wiki that while its headquartered in Moscow, its actually operated by a ‘holding company in the UK’.
“In August 2015, two former Kaspersky employees alleged that the company introduced modified files into the VirusTotal antivirus database to trick software from Kaspersky competitors into triggering false positives in virus and malware scans. A possible motive is that Eugene allegedly was furious at competitors perceived to be “unfairly” free-riding on Kaspersky’s malware discoveries via the open-source VirusTotal database. The company denied the allegations.[33][34][35] On his personal blog, Eugene Kaspersky compared the accusations to unsubstantiated conspiracy theories.[36] Reuters followed up by publishing leaked emails allegedly from Kaspersky alluding to “falsies” and “rubbing out” foreign competitors; Kaspersky Lab stated the emails “may not be legitimate and were obtained from anonymous sources that have a hidden agenda”.[37]”
Spy v spy battles I guess.

So nothing new then 😉
The URL works fine for me, on Firefox 71.0, Win 7 Ultimate which is absolutely locked down here (sorry, Vex). 😉
I thought I had it locked too until I my PC got owned by another Win7 installed within my Win7, making it a perfect zombie to be further exploited. That was years ago though. And it couldn’t have happened if I was using Linux or Mac OS instead,
But I’m really interested what made Edwon’s system alarm go off. Any ideas?
My guess is he’s using some trash-panda antivirus like Norton or Avira or maybe even (heaven forbid) Windows Defender, the one that comes with many versions of Windows. So what that means (if correct) is that TPTB flagged those URLs as malicious, on purpose. It’s a PDF. It can’t actually contain a virus, any more than a JPG image file can. There’s no room in the file type FOR a virus. Same with all media files. You can’t just stash a virus in a video file.
Jared, I believe pdf’s and video files can have malware embedded in them.
There’s no space in these file types for executables. With image files, it’s even more obvious since it’s literally just a grid of pixels with RGB values and then a header and footer description (metadata), but nowhere in the file is there anywhere to put an executable. An image viewer doesn’t execute any “code” from the file, it simply displays the grid.
But it’s the same with PDFs and Videos. There’s nowhere to hide an executable in the file itself. It would have to come alongside the file and be run separately. I deal with and create these files extensively all the time. The reader or movie-viewer doesn’t execute anything, it just displays the data.
But all THAT said, if you’re watching streaming video from a browser player, when you click “Play” anything can happen. That’s not the same thing as playing the video file locally through your media player. Flash was worse but modern browser players using HTML 5 can be just as bad – it all depends on what that particular website has scripted behind the scenes. So if you’ve gotten viruses or malware from watching STREAMING video, that’s totally a thing so be careful and only use sites you trust, or blockers to deal with it all such as Ghostery or NoScript.

@Jared et al: comments?
Edwon, my (professional) advice to you would be to uninstall and stop paying for Kaspersky or any anti-virus for Win7, and simply use the free versions of Malwarebyte’s and Super Anti-Spyware any time you have weird symptoms, or run them weekly at night.
Unless you’re downloading tons of torrented games or software with keygens and stuff like that, or visiting nefarious sites without any protection in your browser from malicious scripts (NoScript and Ghostery are great, UBlock too – all free), you really don’t need a full-time anti-virus package. I haven’t used on in 20 years now.
The other thing is that Win7 is old enough now that it’s not highly-targeted. Win10 is, and the Macs, and iOS and Android, but not Win7 so much. It’s safer now than it ever was. All three of my professional workstations run Win7 Ultimate and I’ve never encountered a virus I couldn’t kill with the tools I mentioned.

Anyone familiar with this case? I’d appreciate a quick scan whether there is anything fishy here.
Someone who hasn’t a clue about ballistics, blood spray, gauging distances on video, and has a dubious grasp of numerology should not speculate on such events. Being an exemplar of such a person I shall go ahead and make a fool of myself anyway, in the hope that it triggers alarum amongst the experts 😛
I briefly looked at the video clip (no in-depth study here 😛 ) and it seems like a silly setup. One source said that the victim was killed by one shot to the head at close range but the shooter didn’t seem to move into point blank range. I’m assuming you’d have to hold the gun very close, almost pressing into the side of the head. There’s no blood spray and the guy drops straight down instead of keeling away from the force of the bullet.
The positioning of the camera and the movement of the shooter all seem very convenient. The choreography of the action mean we actually do not see anything of import in that each actor is blocking our line of sight to the other actors, including the victim and the shooter. The police are also supposed to asked the shooter “Why Gary?” and “Gary, Why?”, which seems superfluous and scripted in equal measure. I should add that their names seem equally strange to me: a Doucet kills a Plauche but I always flounder at genealogical wotsits…so moving swiftly on to the most important question: why?
The only idea that springs to mind is a convoluted project that is supposed to boost gun-sales, i.e. angry father shoots evil child-abuser and gets with it, and just right too! It is also another small drama to add to Project Fear to make us think there is a pedophile and maniac around everyone corner.
That’s my tuppence worth. Of course if my cynicism is unwarranted and a real abuser was taken out by a maddened father, then I’m with the father all the way. I cannot make out many spooky numbers from the incident but I am really bad at spotting such information.
So there you have it — a bulls**t opinion on the event 😀
Obviously, the child supposedly taken and abused was 11 but the date of the shooting seems to be a set of 7s and 9s so, whatever.
Daniel P Malpas said:
The pre-meditated execution of an unconvicted man is a very serious crime. There would exist the possibility that Plauche was silencing his accomplice. If Doucet was indeed guilty, it would be likely that this was not his first or only crime. Therefore, for judge Saia to say “there was virtually no risk of him committing another crime” strongly suggests Saia and Plauche are in cahoots. Also, the fact that Michael Moore references this case in BFC, strongly suggests a project.
Very good point
The clue is that Plauche “was close friends with several high ranking police officers” in Baton Rouge. That’s very suspicious and sort of jumps off the page.

Thank you Miles for this one. I was one of those who requested it.
Just to add an interesting piece about Otis Redding. I have that album where they each have 1 side of the album which was their Monterey International Pop Festival performances. JH just released his first album in May 1967 then performs here 1 month later. It’s known as his debut in the US. Big promotion.
The note about Otis is he (supposedly) died in a plane crash, on his way to Truax Field in WI, the same year in December. And reading his wiki page I feel as you do, the story is just too ridiculous to be believed. I love this part, “The family postponed the funeral from December 15 to 18 so that more could attend.” The 18th? How do you beat that? Lol
And what’s up with Wisconsin? Isn’t that where Stevie Ray Vaughan also crashed and died in a helicopter accident after performing in East Troy, WI? (My wifes friends’ sister saw that final show.)
It’s funny back to their album together, the songs on Hendrix side are a Bob Dylan tune (already exposed by you), a cover of BB King w/Joe Josea real name Joe Bihari – a name used to claim songwriting royalties (Hmmm) then his own song (JH) then finally a Chip Taylor song. Who real name is James Wesley Voight who’s brother to Jon Voight and uncle of Angelina Jolie. I see promotion, promotion, promotion. As is typical, and found even with the Sex Pistols, they play a bunch of cover songs as they penetrate the Rock n Roll market.
The Otis songs are a Sam Cooke song 1st. C’mon man Sam Cook is born 1/22 then dies 12/11. Two master numbers in numerology. How fitting. Another faked death? I need my waiters the more I read. 😉
The next song is his own, then a song with Jerry Butler (Who has duetted with Gene Chandler. Hmmm). Then a Rolling Stones song (Bob Dylan Stones connected by you). Of course. And finally Otis finishes his album side with a song cowritten by Harry MacGregor Woods & James Tyrie Campbell who is known to have used pseudonums like Irving King or Irving and Ivor King. Hmmmm. Also this last song was co-authored by Reginald John Connelly (who often teamed with Jimmy Campbell in songwriting).
It seems like all the songs on this album, besides the two originals, are nods or paybacks for favors. Since royalties will be dealt with as these songs are promoted then aired later. Hmmm.
Main point is where do you find all these “concindences” in one place? It’s just too convenient. Loved this paper very much. I loved the music growing up. Played guitar myself and idolized Hendrix. More important I do love the truth. And I love “not” having idols. I love thinking for myself and being able to see through the bullshit whever it is. Your papers help that very much.
Voting just opened for best paper of 2019 and more! Cast your vote in comments or by e-mail.
Here is the thread: https://cuttingthroughthefog.com/2020/01/01/best-of-2019/
FYI, I published 53 papers on my art website and 27 on my science site, making 80 this year. Compare that to the 150 papers we are told smartest man in history von Neumann published in his lifetime. Plus 19 guest-written papers on the art site, which is a record for us. SO at least 72 major events had their cover blown by us in 2019. Actually many more than that, since my papers almost always blow several at a time. Thanks for the great year, and keep submitting. I know several guest papers are on the burner, so we have that to look forward to. Mine arrive on the wind, so who knows what I will uncover in 2020. Hopefully 2020 will be better than 2019. Let us pray the upcoming Jup/Sat conjunction pulls some charge into the system from somewhere.
I’d like to thank you Miles for all the work you’ve done, and the guest writers for covering lots of extra subject matter.
You are a diamond in a sea of fake gemstones Miles. Please keep up the truly great work you do.

Hey everybody! “Best of” results are in, see the updated post: https://cuttingthroughthefog.com/2020/01/01/best-of-2019/
I noticed a big uptick in spamming of my inbox by the spooks today. So everybody be on the alert. A new project has apparently just been funded. It isn’t very potent, as usual, but it has started. They are going to try to waste your time, so don’t let them.
Miles thanks for the heads up. What’s the latest project they’re pushing? Or just random stuff?
Random, trying to annoy me and waste my time. And scare me. Anyone out there from Italy? I am getting reports of site blockage in Italy.
I’ve been tapped with the censor stick a couple times in the past week.
First I named dropped Miles in some YT comments explaining to readers how fakery works in H-Wood, but my comments kept disappearing and ‘failing to post’. So I just re-posted and hit them harder after that. And earlier today I was on point in a reddit thread blowing apart this manufactured coronavirus nonsense per Josh’s helpful post, and now my account is having strange log in issues of course.
They’re still reluctant to fully censor, but they are pushing it further and further.
Josh and I ran into a particularly silly troll in the Facebook group, “Miles Mathis Revolution”. He or she is claiming Miles “doesn’t realize that charge and electricity are caused by magnetism”. So of course, I had to just be an absolute dick about it and trash the person. It was fun. I won’t do that here (anymore) but on their own spook sites I have no problem unleashing the dragonfire.
And it’s not a very active group but everyone there EXCEPT this one member has already read Miles’ work on magnetism. Point is, they sent in a spoop to try to misdirect folks. I don’t know who runs that group but I’d boot such spoops – ONLY after exposing and berating them.
John James said:
I must say that since I’ve gone down this rabbit hole Miles showed I can’t appreciate pretty much any “truther” narratives now. Once they get to someone like Smedley and don’t out him I lose all interest. More hero worship…
I had quoted Thomas Paine recently on how George Washington wanted him to rot in prison in Paris. Turns out the prison (Luxembourg) was actually a palace: he had nice room to stay in, catered meals, the option of servants and the doors were only locked at night. In his letter to Washington he was justifying why a country’s constitution could be drawn up by foreigners.
I hear ya John,
I used to like watching historical movies. Well… that fun is all over. Now I can’t watch a so called historical movie without throwing up. So I might as well just watch fiction… since that’s all “consensus history” is anyway.😢
And I hear you Tony. I find it very difficult to find anything to watch these days. The same old actors, the same old stories, the same old format, same theme, same disjointed story-line, same awful script writing. Comedies which aren’t funny. Horror movies that just rely on a jump-scare every 10 minutes to make the film worthy of the genre. At least some of the westerns have become slightly more accurate over time, but all the old crap actors like Burt Lancaster have been replaced with new crap actors like Mathew McConacahawhay. Murder mysteries seem to be the same old story told for the 583rd time. Everything sad or otherwise emotional has to be about cancer patients or disruptive children.
What a complete effing mess the movie industry has become. I wonder. If after another 125,000 years and the next ice age, if another new movie industry will transpire and folk of the future will be able to enjoy thousands of films and stories all over again. Just imagine for a moment, that the society we have been experiencing over the past few thousand years has happened before, over and over and over again. Nothing new under the sun? Some differences I agree but maybe the basic formula always plays out pretty much the same. Find iron, find coal, find oil, build wind farms etc.
Lucky New Year everyone…..I think we’re going to need one!

The worst part is these awful movies and shows make zillions of dollars — well, many of them do — which tells you what’s become of the human race.
Maybe Miles could write a screenplay about what really happened in such and such.
Lincoln assassination, Kennedy assassination, Manhattan Project etc etc.
I definitely would watch it!
Sometimes it’s best just to look at the old shows that were pretty good.
Here’s a show that I think was very witty and interesting for its time…. and always reminded me of my youth. And the sister was hot!
The Wonder Years All
https://www.dailymotion.com/playlist/x67gq4
Yeah, I remember Winnie, who was supposed to be ugly just because she wore glasses, but anyone could see she was gorgeous. I know that’s not who you were talking about, but anyway.
I have always wondered if the creators of the show were following us around with a notepad and 8mm camera as we grew up in the 1960s, secretly embedding themselves in our home and school.
The writers nailed the times we lived in and the average family dynamic of those days down to the last detail! I mean, we could relate to almost everything in the Arnold family.
RE: the wing thing
What I don’t get is a wing deflects and/or redirects the air stream downward which results in an upward reactive force called lift so how can scientists not know how planes fly? What is so hard about that?
Do they also not know how a wind mill works? How a fan works? How a pinwheel works? How a sailboat works?
I mean, I agree that Bernoulli’s principle is lacking but there are other forces at work. A pizza box can fly if you push it and give it a little positive angle of attack and it’s easy to see why so what is the big mystery?
Except that’s not how lift actually works, Rolleikin. Or at least it isn’t enough to explain all aspects of lift. If you haven’t read Miles’ paper deconstructing the theory of lift, you should. It’s more thorough and better explained than the SciAm piece. He also gets into angle of attack.
Light the blue touch-paper and stand well back………….
Yes, I’ve read Miles’ article on lift which states,
“… the faster you go, the more photons you can tag in the same amount of time. If you tag them, they tag you. If they tag you, you get pushed up, because they are going up already. You get lift. The more of them you tag in one second, the more lift per second you get. “
What’s with the deflection into angle of attack? We know you can have negative angle of attack and maintain lift, so technically you don’t need any angle of attack. That’s why Miles’ theory is better than anything you’ll find on Wikipedia. He also doesn’t immediately deflect into the airfoil, or air moving faster arguments.
“What’s with the deflection into angle of attack? We know you can have negative angle of attack and maintain lift, so technically you don’t need any angle of attack.”
Deflection into angle of attack? Sorry, I don’t know what you mean by that.
I do know that many airfoils can produce lift with slightly negative AofA if that is what you mean. However, that isn’t the point of my post.
I’m observing this discussion with a pair of binoculars for safety reasons……
I guess I was confused about the rising field photons imparting lift to the wing as it collides with them.
Doesn’t sunlight contain photons? And, isn’t sunlight falling down to Earth? So, wouldn’t those “falling” photons impart an opposite, downward force to the wing as it collides with them?
The electromagnetic field is an expression of the charge field, and no, not enough.
Thank you for replying, Ian, but I don’t see how your statement relates to my question.
It’s really more about charge density. The charge photons coming up from the Earth are much denser than the photons coming from the Sun–especially at or near the surface (and yes 30,000 feet up is still very near). Photons coming from the Sun meet photons from the Earth with opposite spin. (For more on this see here: http://milesmathis.com/startrek.pdf)
Having said that, I should add that Miles’ insights of last year on the cause of gravity may somewhat alter the mechanisms at play here. I haven’t thought it through. I don’t know if he has weighed in on that somewhere.
“It’s really more about charge density. The charge photons coming up from the Earth are much denser than the photons coming from the Sun”
So, then a wing would produce slightly more effective lift at night because it wouldn’t be pushing against the downward force produced by collisions with the downward solar photons present during daylight hours.
Sneaks in through the forum window and leaves a note for everyone to read…then legs it sharpish!
Its colder? So dense air makes up for the lack of rising charge? Just sayin!
https://www.businessaircraftcenter.com/articles/cold-weather-winter-flying-small-aircraft-airplane-s-art0213.htm
Yes, sunlight coming down causes loss of lift. All charge coming down causes loss of lift. But there is more charge rising than falling.
And if charge enters the Earth at the polar regions, why then is gravity not reversed in regions where the aurora lights occur? Charge moves down at the poles and up in the equatorial and temperate regions. How then, according to Mathis, do planes fly above the arctic circle ?
Charge photons also travel pole to pole.
Yes, Ian, that is part of the answer. But we do find gravity variations at the poles. Not reversals, but measurable changes. Charge doesn’t come in across the entire arctic circle, it comes in on a focused vortex, and there is evidence planes DO feel a loss of lift if they fly directly through that vortex.
I told you they were stepping up the projects against me, and I have yet another example today. Vox Day is emailing me wanting to work with me publishing a leatherbound set of my books. I told him no since of course that would only blackwash me. But it looks like they want to link me to the far right, nationalist right.

I think that left and right is a false dialectic as a whole. You have one side attacking the enlightenment and supporting the aristocracies that control us, another side supporting the enlightenment and liberal ideas, and then an in-between where mainstream political ideologies all fall in, accusing either side of being too “authoritarian”. Their project is far more than just fascism vs. liberalism.
That’s not the point. The point is, they are trying to tie me to people they have already created as neo-Nazis, so they can flush me without further comment. This project failed, but it won’t matter. They will just lie and say I am tied to these people anyway.

Seconded. With knobs on, I am gagging to get copies of those, and to force my local library to carry them.

You could use an international forwarding service like myus.com. They charge ~15$ to forward a few books to Europe.
Genius. Thank you, thank you.
Yes, thank you Steven. That is cheaper than me mailing books to Europe, which costs around $30. Ridiculous. And I don’t work with Amazon, which allows anonymous people to review my books who haven’t read them.
I’ve tried to by “The Charge Field” book with myus.com. This is what it states
“barnesandnoble.com has strict policies that prevent MyUS from purchasing on your behalf. Please try another store”.
It is not working.
To Miles : Reviews are fake, everybody overhere knows you’re a genius.
Why would B&N refuse to sell books through MyUS? Anyone?
Censorshipping?
Any direct censoring of your books or papers would make your work look damaging to the status quo – to the mainstream. So any censorship at all will be kept low key, for now, so as not to draw attention. It makes you seem less important to both the gate-keeping community and the public. If there was a big kerfuffle over the release of your latest book say, then that would instantly draw attention and make your work look far more important to the general public. They don’t want you to get any publicity.
I think they are far more embittered by your fakery papers and genealogy than your science papers – touches a raw nerve or three – because most people can understand the family tree and fake news but hit them with physics and math and they turn into gibbering wrecks. So they hurt where they can.
They bring countries to their knees using financial hit-men, ruining their economy’s, I think they might be using a similar tactic. Instead of the futility of arguing or calling you names, they just restrict your income, leaving the arguing and name calling to the forums.
That’s my take on it, for what it’s worth.
“Removal of European Union Addresses from BN.com
We are no longer supporting accounts for EU residents. Going forward, countries in the European Union(EU) will no longer be available to select in billing or shipping address when placing orders on BN.com.
The following countries are no longer …”
B&N really holds a grudge against us Europeans huh? No explanation, think it is creepy.
All in all I’m still not able to order books, even with forwarders. I have a US gift card but it cannot be used online. I always feel like moving back into the past when in the US, very similar to Russia 😦
STEVEN O
Simple way around this would be for Miles to supply his books in e-format but I think he’s got his mind set on keeping things real as in proper paper books. I can totally respect that but the e-book does allow the bypassing of physical restrictions, like the postal services. It could also be much cheaper for him to use a smaller publisher who uses e-book facilities, but then he would miss the publicity that B&N affords him.
I suppose there is always the dreaded sharing of digital work to avoid, so maybe a bad idea. Kindle and Kobo have some sort of encryption of their books, to prevent sharing. I have no idea if smaller outlets use encryption but I would have thought it would be par for the course these days.
Or get someone in the US to send you a copy. If you order directly from Miles, and ask nicely, he’ll sign it for you, so worth the extra moolah you have to stump up for postage.
You’ll have to e-mail him and ask if he still provides that service.
Deeply insulted as an Englishman to be accused of being part of the European Union. I believe that ends today ?

@Steven,
I suspect it has to do with the recent European privacy law that restricts how personal data is collected and handled, the General Data Protection Regulation or GDPR.
Hmmm… someone ought to sell those B&N gift cards that say they work online through ebay strictly to Europe.
The following countries are no longer available to select on BN.com:
Just ordering from the US I presume….or are those countries now banned from ordering online from BN period?
Confused as always!
The problem is not with the shipping address of the forwarder, BN will accept that, but they do not accept a billing address in the EU, hence I cannot pay with my credit card.
Wouldn’t Pay-Pal bypass that? If it’s just down to where the payment originates?

Sauna and vodka?
This is the best advice I’ve heard from a head of state so far.
Silver bullet 45
When the political leadership won’t go along with the coronavirus scam there is no coronavirus pandemic. Belarus is the perfect example of that. Its president, Alexander Lukashenko, has the best medical advice for preventing viral infections: sauna and vodka. Either his medical advice works far better than any quarantine measures or the exploding number of COVID-19 infections reported elsewhere is manufactured.

Kim-Baal Musk? We already know Elon means oak means Du Quesnay means Cheney. What does Tosca allude to?
Good work, though I still have much to critique, as I had in the Ancient Spooks thread. For example, “seeing Noah’s nakedness” did have a literal meaning, likely being castration, and so did Babel (it’s just that it wasn’t in Babylon, but still somewhere in Mesopotamia/the Persian Gulf, which was the birthplace of the Phoenicians).
The vocabulary of puns is shallow compared to what Gerry already covered, but I understand, as the website is still being worked on. I suggest adding “Nasi/Nazi/NASA” as well.
OK, Blumenbach, but please try to keep your comments on this to the Ancient Spooks thread, not the “In Defense of Miles Mathis” thread.
http://ancient-spooks.de/names/mitsraim.html
“But tales like this never seem to have happened in history. Pretty much all revolutions are revealed on closer inspection as spook-enacted frauds. Ancient Egypt had colonies, connections, spies & moles all over the Fertile Crescent. It could never be defeated or escaped like in the story. The Egyptian elites were also not enemies of the ancient spooks. They were proto-spooks themselves at the very least, as evidenced by their own spooky punnery. The Books Genesis & Exodus also include no details at all about Egypt. Except for the words Mitsraim & Pharaoh, the story could take place anywhere on earth.”
Just a note, remember that the “Sea People’s invasions” took place around the same time, where the Phoenicians would’ve directly taken over the former Egyptian territories in Asia, so Egypt not being able to pursue them isn’t really that big of a problem.
The Nile becoming blood (could that also be a pun?) did seem to have actually been recorded in Egyptian records, so despite many opposing theories, it’s still likely that it really happened in Egypt.

Sir Blumenbach.. Some French spooks argued that ancient China was a colony of Egypt. And that ancient Chinese alphabet was derived from hieroglyphics, Hebrew and Phoenician alphabet. Abbot Barthelemy and De Guignes are the French spooks. Since China is emerging as a power of globalization and definitely owned by the families and our major players in the COVID hoax; I looked up jews in China.
The Jews of China: History of a Community and its Perspectives by Caroline Rebouh. The ebook is 90 bucks on Google. Lol. But in previews you can read some interesting stuff. I can not find translations of the French men mentioned. Although her book had translated excerpts. So we have a Phoenician connection to just about the whole world.
Also I found on Google, but I breezed over it, an article that many Chinese were studying the Torah and Jewish and Israeli history has preparation for success in the world. And people have the nerve to call us conspiracy theorists.
Kevin Murphy and Sir Blumenbach, please continue this conversation over in the ancient spooks thread.

Wasn’t there a paper where Miles discussed his general strategy when doing genealogies? What sites he prefers, tips for accessing them, etc. I could have sworn I read that once. Having read enough of his papers I can get most of the techniques, but I thought he once gave a general overview. Thanks.
David Hagersten said:
I also remember that Miles have written some sort of short guide for doing genealogy.
I couldn’t find just that one but this earlier “Looks like JFK was gay and other interesting stuff” contains quite detailed description of Miles genealogy process (the second section on page 5).

The second section starts from this quote:
“I might not have shown up on this page even so, if I didn’t have more for you.”
I have been watching chimney swifts over my house for hours the past few days, and I suspect these birds are a confirmation of Miles’ lift theory.
Here’s a video that gives a sense for how they fly:
But you really have to watch them live to appreciate them. Obviously they are very fast, but what is most strange about their flight is that their forward motion does not seem to be powered by their wings flapping alone. For one thing they don’t spend that much time flapping, and this seems to vary day by day. Usually they’ll flap about half the time in flight, but some days they seem to be flapping only 1/4 of the time and soaring 3/4 of the time.
Most amazing to me is that often they appear to gain speed while soaring, that is, without flapping their wings. Maybe my eye is being tricked, but I have seen this many times. At first I thought maybe they were diving while soaring, thereby gaining speed, but I have seen the speed up (I believe) while they are gaining altitude. I also commonly see the speedup when they bank, which is odd, because you would expect banking to dissipate speed.
The birds have been described as flying cigars. Their body is about 6″ and their wingspan about 12″, and they only weigh 0.6 to 1.0 ounces. The only place they can rest is on a craggy vertical surface, such as the inside of a chimney; the rest of the time they must stay airborne. If they find themselves on the ground they are stuck (I read an article that said if you find a swift on the ground you should pick it up and give it a light toss in the air to get it flying again).
Amazingly, their cousin the Common Swift stays airborne for up to 10 months at a time:
https://www.audubon.org/news/the-common-swift-new-record-holder-longest-uninterrupted-flight
They eat, drink, mate and apparently sleep while flying. They speculate that they sleep during long spiraling descents, are while riding on upward air thermals.
Tying back to Miles’ theory: These birds seem to abhor the land and treat the sky like fish treat the sea, a huge fluid body that provides them buoyancy to stay aloft. What does the mainstream have to explain these birds? That the wings alone are providing lift via the airfoil? That, plus thermal updrafts? How could a bird rely on there always being thermals available at every step of the way on a 10 month journey? No, by observing the birds’ flight it makes much more sense to believe there is an upward pushing force at all times (the charge field) and these birds have evolved to use it.
I wonder if their shape is ideally suited for capturing charge. Maybe something about the long narrow wings (which we also see in human glider aircraft). Also of course their high speed allows them to receive more charge, which is applied to their very light weight.
The final question I have is whether they are somehow channeling the charge field for forward motion, not just lift. It’s hard to account for their relentless forward speed by wing flapping alone. I wonder if they can somehow angle their wings to convert an upward force into forward thrust.
Very well-put, here. An obvious and supportive addition to Miles’ theories on Lift, and of course life itself shows us the way. I’ll do some studies and simulations and see if I can concretely answer your questions, but you’re definitely on the right track here!
I’ve noticed the same thing with Seagulls all around where I live. I’ve started to think that feather design itself has something to do with charge channelling. Not sure why nature would have designed something so very structured as a feather unless there were clear benefits – such as charge channelling to assist with lift or propulsion.
Observation and theorizing at work in the real world. Great stuff.
Thanks, Jared, I look forward to seeing what you come up with. As I understand it the charge field is a bombardment field, but it interacts with the matter it hits. It’s not like hitting something with a water hose and pushing it around. Instead the charge gets channeled in different ways based on the material it is passing through. I’m having a hard time envisioning how the upward bombardment could result in a perpendicular force. But that’s what it looks like watching the birds.
Probably the change field is also responsible for seeds that travel in the atmosphere hundreds if not thousands of miles?
How far can a seed travel by wind without charge?
The distance a seed can potentially travel will vary by several orders of magnitude, and therefore seeds do have the capacity to travel huge distances.
https://www2.palomar.edu/users/warmstrong/plfeb99.htm
I was wondering about feathers as well. They must help the bird stay aloft by interacting with the charge field somehow. The mainstream view is that feathers are structured as they are in order to create air resistance. So I think a simple experiment to prove “charge resistance” would be to drop the feathers in a vacuum.
Of course this experiment has been done repeatedly. I went looking for any unusual results, like the feather actually dropped a bit less slowly than the solid object in the vacuum. Along the way I found this video, which is the most heavily promoted video of this experiment:
It’s funny, even in this straightforward experiment the mainstream (BBC and Brian Cox) can’t escape appearing shifty. Numerous commenters pointed out anomalies with this video. The main complaint is that they never show the full drop at normal speed. When you finally get to the drop at 2:52, it is in excruciating slo-mo. And on top of that the flight is assembled from 3 separate cuts.
Then at 4:05, Cox muddies the water by for some reason bringing in Einstein, claiming Einstein believed, “The reason the bowling ball and feather fall together is because they’re not falling, they’re standing still. There is no force acting on them at all.” I guess he’s making some point about inertial reference frames, but what does that have to do with this feather in a vacuum experiment?
If I had access to that vacuum chamber I would improve Cox’s experiment as follows. I would replace the ostrich feather with the flight feather of a bird that can actually fly. Then I would drop it not with the tip pointing at the ground, but in a horizontal orientation that matches its orientation in flight.
I’m sure I’ve seen in mainstream documentaries in my past that feathers were “designed” by nature to keep birds warm and trap body heat. I doubt that is the main reason – for example if they needed to retain heat you would think their legs would be feathered. Those spindly things they cling to trees with all winter without freezing. I think thats down to structured water in the cells i.e. structured water in cells does not freeze like unstructured water.
So from that I surmise heat retention is a minimal function of feathers. Although worth remembering that heat is itself charge of a certain spin. We have the stem of the feather – usually hollow, and then that very fine needle like structure. Seems like a lot of design for a minmal purpose if its just for heat retention, fur could do that. I am just theorising but perhaps that structure allows the most efficient channeling of charge. I think I’ve read in Miles work on osmosis that leaves emit most charge at their points, so with nothing more than the concept that “point things” emit charge more efficiently, the thousands of points at the end of feathers may be designed to emit large amounts of charge to be harnessed for flight
I hope I haven’t misunderstood Miles work but my current understanding is that what we call “gravity” is in fact the sum of an amount of charge coming up from the earth, and an amount coming down from space. WIth birds weighing so little I imagine they would need to channel only a small amount to make a difference to the outcome of that combined effect, and become effectively weightless – just by in some basic way making a fine adjustment to the up/down conflicting charge flows.
All just theory and not sure how I could ever demonstrate it to be accurate.
Whilst I have been watching seagulls on a nearby roof its been heart warming to see a mating pair rear 3 chicks. What strikes me is the parents will see off any other approaching flying species with measured agression whilst the fluffy flightless young are toddling around on the roof which they have yet to leave. Whilst one parent hunts the other does not take her eye off the chicks the entire day. Those obviously protective parents however seem not the slightest bit concerned that the young could tumble off the steeply sloped roof at any moment – they have yet to develop anything matching the description of wings so would fall straight off to the ground. And yet its as if gravity simply isn’t on the protective parents radar.
Anyway one thing I am sure of is that I could improve Cox’s experiment by placing him within the chamber for its duration. I’ve seen that fake arse pushing climate change and making out he understands quantum mechanics. Miles has eviscerated him in style in a previous paper though, so I won’t repeat it all here – but its an enjoyable read.
Thanks for your comments. I had forgotten that Miles has taken down Cox. Great paper.

Ha ha! You have a great idea for a better use of the world’s largest vacuum chamber. Redo this experiment with Cox inside, and the birds on the outside watching.
Flopot said:
I am naive so I’ll ask the dumb question: surely the flapping of a bird’s wings has some bearing on the matter? Does that energy combined with the use of feathers do something with/to the charge, e.g. forcing to flow in a different way?
Oops. Flopot is me — used an old nickname. Boomer moment.
My guess is that flapping is more about control, attitude, and forward-thrust than lift. Much like control surfaces in air/spacecraft.
Yes I’d concur with that.
Similar to how a fish is effectively weightless due to its swim bladder, but wriggles and uses fins, or like a turtle almost rows. Only in the air instead of water.
I suspect the forward motion created by flapping is what helps to achieve the weightlessness when the air is still etc, as I think Miles has shown motion sideways on the Earth reduces weight, or the effect of “mass”. So whilst a jumbo jet might require 70mph to take off, a bird obviously needs a lot less to tip the scales.
All just supposition from me though, I don’t have enough understanding of the mechanics of Miles insights to say with confidence.
Flapping is like being under the water and flapping.
You’re still being held up by the buncey in the water but you’re flapping to navigate.
Talk to any fish….. he will explain it to you.
Cheers for the answers; they’re raising more questions. I’m going to bed.
Well after much consideration and study of flapping wings, hopefully I’ve arrived at some kind of actual answer – beyond navigation. A few key points:
A hummingbird achieves lift without any lateral momentum with no problems. So can a helicopter. With a ‘copter, we have more rotor blade encountering more charge field UP, the faster it spins. I believe it’s the same with the hummingbird. The faster it flaps, the more charge those wings are encountering over and given delta-t.
So after reading Miles’ first atmosphere paper for the umpteenth time to make it SINK IN, I feel like he’s already given us the answer. In the footnotes he mentions birds but that paper wasn’t about them, so I don’t think he delved in too far in this instance.
http://milesmathis.com/atmo.html
What I think is happening with flapping wings is that their motion created a COMPOUNDING cross-section relative to upcoming charge, and all fluid dynamics involved are secondary or tertiary. A bird’s wings pushing down at elevation could have to bounce those air molecules back UP at its wings to feel any lift from those molecules. Pushing down on something doesn’t create a rise, out of (ahem) thin air. On liftoff, perhaps, since the air is close enough to the creature to rebound and possibly push it UP. But what of a tiny hummingbird or even a bee? The air they push down isn’t holding bouncing off the Earth and then pushing them back up. I’ve had them land on me often, this summer, and at no point did I feel any “wind” going up or down.
So I think the flapping of wings is quite elegantly increasing the AMOUNT of photons in a given change in time (delta-t) that are pushing up from the Earth already. Much like lift on a wing, I think the flapping increases this charge-up-per-second factor, and any fluid dynamics that help lift and/or help maneuvering are secondary to this. I couldn’t say if Miles would agree, but given that helicopters and hummingbirds both hover pretty well, it seems like a very similar phenomenon.
@Jared Magneson, thanks for bringing up the atmosphere paper. I love the logic of the argument, and also got some laughs:
“These scientists want us to believe that if we removed the atmosphere, we could wear cows as hats without stooping and could jump up to the clouds just by the strength of our calf muscles.”
It seems to me that hovering and soaring are separate problems. It makes sense that a bird soaring horizontally would get more upward charge per unit time. But it’s not as clear to me if it was stationary and hovering how it would get more charge.
The helicopter example is easier for me to picture. As I understand your argument, the rotating blades obtain more charge per unit time. Wouldn’t it be the case, then, that if you replace the rotors with a disc the same diameter and mass, that the helicopter would experience the same lift?
I would guess that helicopter lift is mostly due to fluid dynamics. It would be a fairly easy experiment to prove it, just try to operate a helicopter in a vacuum chamber. I assume someone must have tried this at some point.
@Dennis Heretz: My guess would be that using a disc in place of rotor blades would create MORE lift, not the same amount. The gaps between blades must miss some measure of upward charge; the disc, little or none in comparison. But spinning a disc that is also structurally sound at those velocities might not be ideal, from an engineering standpoint?
Florida’s mandate that all citizens must wear prophylactic medical masks but is a medical mandate such as this legal?

Upon further research, I also found connections the Titanic had to the Hamburg-Amerika Line, aka HAPAG-Lloyd, and subsequently to her competitor, the Imperator (which Mathis has mentioned at the end of his paper on the Titanic hoax).
Here’s some information on the ship that was the location where the bogus Prinz Adalbert photograph was taken a few hours after the Titanic “sank”:
“The Prinz Adalbert, sister ship to the Prinz Oskar and one of the seven ships of the Prinzen Class owned by the Hamburg-Amerika Linie, later to become Hapag-Lloyd, was a 6,030 gross registered ton, 10-year-old, 123 m long vessel built at the Bremer Vulcan yard, Vegesack. With a capacity of 121 crew and 1,418 passengers, the Prinz Adalbert’s 3,350 hp two quadruple expansion steam engines propelling twin screws had a maximum speed of 12.5 knots, [6] but if this trip was anything to go by then she would be hard pushed to match that speed in 1912.” – http://www.paullee.com/titanic/Adalbert/index.php
The fact that the PA was owned by the same company that owned the Imperator is very telling, for it ties both ships to the Titanic hoax. You also see the connection to the Lloyd’s of London. These points will be elaborated upon further reading.
There are more potential clues pointing towards massive coordination of fraud at sea. J.B. Ismay’s letter to HAPAG discussing accommodations for the Olympic Class liners at Hamburg-Amerika “in the event of these vessels meeting with a serious accident while in American waters.” This letter was written to HAPAG one month before the Titanic “disaster”, on March 7th, 1912. Perhaps setting the stage for the subsequent disappearance and reappearance of the Titanic as the Imperator after her fake sinking?

Even more telling is the fact that Sir Rostron, the Captain of the Carpathia famous for his rescue of the Titanic survivors, commandeered the Imperator after the Titanic allegedly sank. To quote Wikipedia:
“Sir Arthur Rostron of the RMS Titanic passenger rescue fame and former captain of Carpathia took command of Imperator in July 1920. The following year both Imperator and Aquitania were sent to Armstrong Whitworth shipyards to be converted from coal firing to oil.” – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS_Imperator#Cunard_service
The rest of the information I have uncovered and pieced together from other researchers will be found at:
https://truthu7771.wixsite.com/network/post/titanic-the-ship-that-never-sank
“in the event of these vessels meeting with a serious accident while in American waters.”
That PNAC moment 😉
Obviously the difference is nothing actually happened in 1912 (nothing was “demolished”) but here they are, perhaps, saying it to our faces once again. Just like back in 1999.
Yes, indeed. It appears as though they were setting the staged for the Titanic to disappear from the public eye and reappear as a different vessel some time later during the First World War. The rest is merely details on print.
And the Futility hoax from 1898. Don’t forget that, either. Predictive programming at its best.
A side-by-side comparison of the Imperator and the Titanic as they appeared on their launch days.

Replied to a thread from a couple years ago on this but figured it would be good to post as a new comment.
Just watched the first few episodes of “The Vow” on HBO — about NXIVM. I kept waiting for the punchline, that this was a sci-fi mockumentary, aliens would show up and conflict would ensue.
Nope, it was very serious, I googled NXI just got a weird feeling watching the actors (loads of them involved in the project to better their self-confidence, public speaking, empathy, etc)… well, they act. Too much enthusiasm, body language trailed their words (tough to explain but basically like they were recalling their script and then filling in the body language, kind of disjointed I guess). Lot of cognitive dissonance watching them emote when this “self-help civilization” started to turn ominous. I don’t know how I feel about it. Actors act and maybe they can’t shut off that part of themselves, even going through the kind of trauma detailed in the series. I can’t decide if it’s entirely fake or not but I wouldn’t be surprised if it was. All the hooplah/evidence of a crime, ie, the portrayals of suffering, the recorded conversations, the court proceedings, etc, is there but also easily faked. The sum of the fakery could be greater than its individual components.
Oh, the people involved in the cult started to be trained on video and audio production in an effort to document and catalog Rainere’s ideas and output. Say what? Is that a hint (or a flatout admission the whole thing was a show)?
Blurry f*cking line. Entertainment these days is depraved.

I’m finally replying to this comment in full. Yes, it took me awhile to finally get there, but the information seems no less pertinent.
When we were discussing this two years ago, my goal was highlight how Miles’ work has enhanced my understanding of the Bible, and even worked to further validate it. So I look forward to doing that in the future. This is simply my reasoning for disagreeing for many assertions that had come up: namely that the modern state of Israel matters at all to end times prophecy or that a new Temple would be built. Or that Damascus must be destroyed.
https://davidbehlman.wordpress.com/2020/10/23/temple-rebuilt-and-damascus-destroyed-before-the-end/
And speaking of shipwreck hoaxes, there is a lot of fakery in the Lusitania story. I have found a couple pictures of Lusitania “victims” that look like paintings almost. Wanna see them?
https://img2.thejournal.ie/inline/511108/original/?width=605
The lady in the third photo was a Booth-Jones and she was 8 years old when she “died” on the Lusitania. The Booths and the Joneses have been involved in several hoaxes for centuries. John Wilkes Booth of the Lincoln assassination hoax and Alex Jones of the InfoWars psyop comes to mind. We all know that the Lusitania event was the catalyst for the United States’ entrance into WWI (and war is a hoax), and we know how these events are faked (the Titanic hoax for example). So we have every reason to suspect that this one was faked, too.
Even more bizarre is the fact that passengers boarding the Lusitania were warned by Germany of imminent danger to the ship and their lives. Yet we are supposed to believe they ignored the warning and foolishly drowned to their deaths in the Irish Sea despite knowing that half of the world was going to war against each other at this time. Something’s amiss here.

I have found some information relating to life insurance claims in the Lusitania saga. They are here:
https://www.rmslusitania.info/primary-docs/mcc/life-insurance/
https://www.rmslusitania.info/primary-docs/mcc/opinion/
There was dispute regarding Germany’s alleged role in the “disaster” and whether or not the German gov’t was liable to pay compensation to the friends and relations of the Lusitania “victims”. Pretty interesting, if you ask me.
Here are newspaper frontlines about the Lusitania “disaster”:
As you can see, just like in the first reports about the Titanic event, the numbers always change. Had this been a real tragedy, the numbers wouldn’t fluctuate so much, they would be pretty close. Certainly, the newspapers would’ve known where the numbers came from and tried their best to cross-examine their sources before publishing the figures if this wasn’t a hoax and if there was no intention to mislead and confuse their readers. But as the evidence shows, that wasn’t the case at all.
Another story from the Lusitania saga was that of millionaire businessman A. G. Vanderbilt, Sr. He allegedly died on the ship while traveling in first-class on a business trip. During the sinking, he reportedly gave his life jacket to a woman with child despite the fact that he couldn’t swim without one. Rather odd, if you ask me.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfred_Gwynne_Vanderbilt#RMS_Lusitania
In the same Wiki article, it mentions that his wife and descendants inherited incredible sums of money from his will after his “death”. It appears as though the Vanderbilts made bank off of this scam, as did many notable people involved.
“After Alfred’s death aboard the Lusitania in 1915, Margaret bought a 316-acre estate in Lenox, Massachusetts, with a 47-room mansion. She remarried twice, first on June 12, 1918, in Lenox Raymond T. Baker (1875–1935), a politician with whom she had a daughter, Gloria Baker (1920–1975). The claim for his estate was put forward Margaret, who by that point was already remarried. The net value of the estate, after the payment of all debts and funeral and administration expenses, was $15,594,836.32.
By the terms of his will, Margaret and his three sons would inherit $1,180,098.18. In addition, for their maintenance and for the support and comfort of his widow and children, he expended and contributed approximately $300,000 annually.”
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfred_Gwynne_Vanderbilt#Personal_life
In today’s currency, the $1.1M inheritance (1915) would translate into $30M, annual inflation adjusted.
Another B12 booster shot?

More fakery, as usual.

Cyclist #43: Alto de Letras, longest climb on Earth

Colombia has produced some of the world’s greatest climbers. Little surprise that it is also home to one of the world’s greatest climbs, the Alto de Letras
From the editor,
Since our launch back in 2013, the festive season has always been filled with boundless enthusiasm for the season to come. The much-needed break over December and January allows us to take a breather, get in some long summer rides and switch off from the world of magazine production.
It has been a very different summer this year. And while the impact on most of our personal lives has been limited to a few postponed criteriums, a couple of detoured bunch rides and a few sessions missed due to city smoke ‚ others have not been so lucky. Here at Cyclist, we love the opportunity to ride in new locations and share the stories that come from those destinations, and it’s heartbreaking to see a beloved location impacted or destroyed by fires.
Lives lost – of both the human and furry kind – and seemingly insurmountable damage to property have sadly brought a more sombre mood to this year’s first edition. But there’s hope. As we write our final thoughts and send this issue to the printer, huge storms have brought a blanket of much-needed rain to the east coast, and with it, quite literally dampened the fires that have devastated the country.
And so, while the pictures from your upcoming Big Rides in 2020 may look a little different to some of those we’ve published, we’re confident you’ll find just as much joy as you watch these places rebuild, rejuvenate and reopen for business.
If there has ever been a reason to get out there and find a new spot to ride your bike, this is it. Pick a new town, explore a new trail, and if time permits, stay a little longer than originally planned. Let’s help get these towns back to the flourishing communities they once were.
Happy and safe riding from the team at Cyclist.

Dem New York AG Sends Cease And Desist Letter To Trump Foundation
REUTERS/Stephanie Keith
Kevin Daley Supreme Court correspondent
October 03, 2016 1:53 PM ET
The office of New York State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman sent a cease and desist order to the Trump Foundation Monday.
The letter orders that the Foundation must cease soliciting contributions and engaging in fundraising activities in New York for violations of state regulations governing the operation of charities.
“Please take notice that the Donald J. Trump Foundation is in violation of section 172 of Article 7-A New York’s Executive Law, which requires charitable organizations that solicit contributions in New York State to register with the Charities Bureau and to provide annual financial reports and annual audited financial statements,” the letter reads.
The Washington Post’s David Farenthold reported Sunday night that the Foundation, which began subsisting entirely on donations from others in 2008, failed to register with New York State under article 7A. Registration is required for any charity soliciting more than $25,000 from the general public.
Though Schneiderman’s office has adopted an aggressive posture as regards the Trump Foundation, it has been far more accommodating of the Bill, Hillary, and Chelsea Clinton Foundation, which is based in New York City, and faces its own ethics problems. The Clinton Foundation, despite state rules to the contrary, has disclosed little regarding its foreign donors.
Schneiderman has the power to compel the disclosure of names of foreign governments who have given to the Foundation — he has not yet done so.
“He’s not doing his job in that case,” attorney David Nelson told Scripps News, which published a detailed review of the Foundation’s disclosure practices. “The Clinton Foundation cannot say they are in compliance with New York regulations.” (RELATED: Clinton Foundation Skirting State Law, Dem AG Says No Problem)
A Scripps News investigation found a Clinton Foundation spinoff, Clinton Health Access Initiative, did not disclose $225 million in foreign government grants to New York regulators. The Foundation proper disclosed only lump sum totals to the state, and stopped disclosing foreign contributions altogether in 2010.
“Every instance where there was an opportunity to be more transparent or less they chose to be less transparent,” Nelson said.
Schneiderman himself is a Democrat who has endorsed Clinton. He sits on the Clinton campaign’s New York state leadership council.

ABC News Executive Fired Following Alleged ‘Pick Cotton’ Comment To Robin Roberts
Eric Thayer/File Photo/Reuters
Thomas Catenacci Reporter
July 21, 2020 12:13 PM ET
The Walt Disney Company fired a senior ABC News executive for making “racially insensitive comments” to her colleagues, including an alleged comment about picking cotton to “Good Morning America” anchor Robin Roberts.
Barbara Fedida, who was in charge of talent at ABC, made “racist” remarks, Peter Rice, chairman of Walt Disney Television, said in an internal email to staff, according to The Wall Street Journal. Disney conducted an investigation, which confirmed allegations made against Fedida regarding racist comments and her “rough” management style.
“Although Ms. Fedida made contributions to the organization over the 20-year span of her career, in light of the overall findings, we have determined that she can no longer serve in a leadership role and will not be returning to ABC News,” Rice said in his email, The Journal reported.
Fedida allegedly told Roberts that the network wasn’t asking her to “pick cotton” during a heated contract negotiation in 2018, an anonymous person who witnessed the exchange told The Huffington Post in June.

Fedida is also accused of asking which ABC News employee would be most likely to be an active shooter in the building and openly referring to other women in the office using offensive language, The Huffington Post reported. (RELATED: ‘Never Been Worse’: Black Police Officer Says Leaders Are Failing Cops)
The Huffington Post conducted interviews with 34 sources who are current and former ABC News employees as well as individuals with knowledge of Fedida’s conduct for its June story. Fedida was placed on administrative leave while an outside law firm conducted an investigation in response to the story, according to NBC News.
“Throughout my career, I have been a champion for increased diversity in network news,” Fedida said in a statement, according to The Huffington Post. “Unlike these heartbreaking and incredibly misleading claims about me, that track record is well-documented and undeniable.”
Disney pledged $5 million to social justice organizations in June in response to the death of George Floyd, according to Fortune. Floyd died in Minneapolis police custody on May 25 after an officer kneeled on his neck for more than eight minutes, video of the incident shows.
“The killing of George Floyd has forced our nation to once again confront the long history of injustice that black people in America have suffered, and it is critical that we stand together, speak out, and do everything in our power to ensure that acts of racism and violence are never tolerated,” Disney CEO Bob Chapek said in a statement, Fortune reported.
Disney purchased ABC News in 1995, The New York Times reported at the time.

Man Records The Country Version Of ‘WAP’ We Never Knew We Needed
Sure, Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion’s sexy summer smash “WAP” is one of the hottest songs in the country, but how would it sound as a country song?
Luckily, an aspiring country singer in Las Vegas has answered that pressing musical question.
Travis Yee recently recorded a version of the raunchy rap song to the tune of Garth Brooks’ country classic “The Dance.”
And it’s awesome! Who knew that lyrics like “Make it drop/ Like a bucket and a mop/ Macaroni in a pot/ I’m talking WAP, WAP, WAP” sounded so soulful, so heartfelt, when sung in a country drawl?
The 35-year-old Yee recorded the dirty ditty last week, and it’s definitely touched those who’ve heard it.
“One couple asked me for an MP3 because they wanted it to be the first song at their wedding,” Yee said. “They promised to send a video.”
Yee, a web designer originally from San Francisco, got the country bug 15 years ago while driving to the San Diego Comic-Con.
“My iPod failed and all that was on the radio was country music,” Yee, 35, told HuffPost. “I wasn’t going to go without music so I listened and ended up singing along to the Zac Brown Band.”
That led to a love of country music, which he admits surprised some people, considering his Asian heritage. Still, he says the reaction to his music has been mostly positive.
“People say they appreciate somebody who doesn’t look like the typical country artist,” he said.
Although his debut single, “Everything But Country,” debuts on Spotify next month, Yee has been recording quirky covers on TikTok to build his brand and showcase his personality.
Yee, who said he sometimes doubts his talent, received praise from Brooks himself for an earlier video.
“He liked my singing, but thought I looked young and told me to stay in school if that was the case,” Yee said.
No word on whether Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion have heard Yee’s country cover, but it appears below.

Delhi University’s Chak De Girls Chased & Caught Mobile Phone Snatchers
A group of mobile snatchers had no idea that targeting Ritu, Rashi and Sheetal-three hockey champions from Delhi University would prove to be a costly affair.The three girls chased two criminals for nearly a kilometre,caught one of them and thrashed him until he handed over the snatched mobile phone.
The incident was reported on 20th January 2016 when the three girls were travelling to Peeragrahi in a public bus¬†they had boarded at Punjabi Bagh.”When we reached Madipur, I got up to buy tickets from the conductor. One of the youths then came near Rashi and snatched her phone,” Ritu told Times of India.
“Before we could react, the driver shut the gates.When we asked him to open it, he said the bus will only stop at the next stand,” Ritu told Times of India.
The girls got off at the next stand and walked back to the Madipur bus stop.They saw the snatchers waiting at a bus stand on the opposite side of the road. “When we walked up to them,one of them started running away. Sheetal chased and caught the other. She is a half back and can chase her opponents well in a hockey game,” Rashi told Times of India.
Police have found the youth,Dalchand,to be an active snatcher in the area. “Efforts are being made to track down his associates. We have rewarded the three girls for their valour and bravery. They will be portrayed as role models for others,” DCP (west) Vijay Kumar told Times of India.

2-hydroxyethyl acrylate
PNEC soil
0.003 mg/kg soil dw
Based on the following meetings of the Commission Working Group on the Classification and Labelling of Dangerous Substances 2-Hydroxyethyl acrylate was classified as N, R50.
ECBI/23/96 - Rev.1, SUMMARY RECORD, Arona, 12 - 14 June 1996
DE, UK and BE proposed no classification; FR proposed classification as N; R51 -53 or no classification due to lack of data. The Group noted that the substance was readily degradable. DE agreed to supply additional data which was available from Dow which indicated classification as N; R50.
Conclusion: The Group provisionally agreed to classify the substance as N; R50.
ECBI/31/96 - Rev. 1, SUMMARY RECORD, Arona, 17-19 September 1996
The Group agreed to classify the substance as N; R50.
The classification was based on an acute toxicity study in Daphnia magna in which an EC50 of 0.78 mg/L (nominal) was determined (Dow 1992).
Based on new evidence from short-term and long-term studies conducted in Daphnia magna according to OECD TGs and GLP regulations (REACH Task Force, 2013), re-evaluation of the aquatic toxicity data and the resulting classification is proposed.
Based on available short term studies on fish, aquatic invertebrates and algae 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate is no subject for classification according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP) with regard to acute aquatic toxicity. All endpoints determined (LC50, EC50 and ErC50) were > 1 mg/L.
Based on NOEC values between 0.1 mg/L and 1 mg/L determined in long term studies with aquatic invertebrates (Daphnia magna) and algae (Pseudokirchnerella subcapitata) and the fact that 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate is readily biodegradable and there is no indication of a potential for bioaccumulation based on a log Pow of -0.17 the test substance is classified as aquatic chronic, cat.3 according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP).

CLEVELAND, OH – The identities and backgrounds of the three men Kyle Rittenhouse, 17, appears to have shot and killed or wounded in self-defense – as video footage shows him being beaten by two of them – have not been highlighted by the nation’s mainstream media. This is particularly so for newspapers, television and radio stations Russian Americans own or control as chief executive officers.
Now that it is confirmed Joseph Rosenbaum was one of the people shot and killed by alleged gunman Kyle Rittenhouse in Kenosha, I filmed him earlier in the night taunting the armed civilians, saying, "Shoot me, n***a." pic.twitter.com/Nn2encm78Y
— Julio Rosas (@Julio_Rosas11) August 27, 2020
The two dead Antifa anarchists are Joseph Rosenbaum and Anthony Huber. The wounded Antifa anarchist is Gage Paul Grosskreutz. All three are Russian Americans with criminal records. Rosenbaum like late Russian American Jeffrey Epstein is a convicted pedophile.
What published reports aren’t showing is that they appear to have attacked Rittenhouse and he responded in self-defense. Rosenbaum in one video is recorded saying, “Shoot me nigga. Shoot me nigga.” The “N” word is offensive to American Negroes who view it in the same light as South Africans leading the African National Congress. It’s hate speech.
Rittenhouse, 17, is from Antioch, Illinois and the criminal complaint against him says he opened fire after an Antifa anarchist threw a plastic bag filled with unknown fluids at him. Some of the bags being thrown at rallies have been revealed to contain piss, shit and chemicals they’ve thrown at civic-minded and patriotic Americans like Rittenhouse.
At a Unite the Right rally in 2017 television personality Katie Couric tweeted how here producers were sprayed with urine. One man was hit with a motor oil filled balloon by an antifa anarchist.
Kyle Rittenhouse is shown being hit by Anthony Huber with his skateboard before he shot him and killed him.
Among the footage of the anarchist carnage the three Russian American criminals wreaked on Kenosha, Wisconsin, as this group has infiltrated peaceful protests of American Negroes across the nation, is that showing Rittenhouse being kicked by Huber and beaten with a skateboard by Grosskreutz. There’s footage of a belligerent Rosenbaum shouting “shoot me nigga.” It’s not known if the Rosenbaum footage was captured anywhere near his final resting site.
The violence Antifa Anarchists call themselves wreaking on Kenosha is allegedly a response to the brutal shooting of Jacob Blake by cowardly municipal cop Rusten Sheskey. Like the three Antifa anarchists Sheskey is Russian American.
Joseph Rosenbaum’s criminal records made him a registered sex offender.
Anarchists have been demanding that police across the nation be defunded. President Donald Trump defunded “uncertified” police departments 22 days after George Floyd’s murder with an executive order instructing the U.S. Department of Justice not to spend a federal dime with them.
His act made all protests “continuing” under the guise of a defund the police demand moot. So there’s been no basis for a defund the police demand since June 16, 2020.
Gaige Paul Grosskreutz was violating Kenosha’s 8 p.m. curfew and carrying a weapon as a violent ex-offender when he was shot by Kyle Rittenhouse. after beating the teen with a skateboard.
It will take time to obtain the full criminal records histories of the three men Rittenhouse shot after he was knocked to the ground, kicked and beaten with the skate board, but early searches of public databases show Rosenbaum as engaging in sexual misconduct with a minor; Huber as strangling someone; and Grosskreutz as an armed burglar.
Grosskreutz is allegedly restricted from possessing a weapon; but footage of him in Kenosha shows this violent anarchist thug as being armed with a handgun. With their criminal records all three were operating in violation of the city’s 8 p.m. curfew.
The late antifa radial Anthony Huber has a criminal history of violence.
Every media attempt to characterize Rittenhouse as anything other than an American citizen with an interest in law enforcement would be maliciously false and defamatory.
From my East Cleveland perspective as a former mayor, I see and can name American Negro youth like him I hired and encouraged to join the city’s police and fire department. They were members of Shaw High School’s police and fire cadet training programs; and a better fit for the department than the racist untrained thugs from other communities the city now employs.
Anarchist and Russian American Gaige Paul Grosskreutz was shot in the arm by American Kyle Rittenhouse after he beat the rifle-armed and police trained teenager with his skateboard.
Even in the claim that he was involved with “militia-minded citizens” appears to be intentionally inflammatory as immigrants entering this nation don’t understand the consciousness of people whose economy is “total war.” The concept of a “total war economy” means the nation’s natural citizens are “armed” and ready to defend it against all enemies foreign and domestic. So every able-bodied citizen of this nation’s states are automatically in the “unorganized militia.”
This law is found in Ohio pursuant to Section 5923.01(D)(2) of the Revised Code. Citizens in total war economies don’t surrender weapons and the immigrants thinking we have too many guns, and cops trying to take them, are un-Americans.
“D) The unorganized militia consists of all citizens of the state to whom all of the following apply: (2) They are more than seventeen years of age and not more than sixty-seven years of age.”
Rittenhouse was interviewed by the Daily Caller as he stood in front of a business owner’s business with other American men who understood the need to protect them from being vandalized and looted by armed and violent neighborhood-killing anarchists. Anyone who has seen the aftermath of that anarchist economic “Red Summer II” savagery in Cleveland understands.
Kyle Rittenhouse is being portrayed by the media as a white supremacist when nothing about that characterization of this American youth is true.
“So people are getting injured, and our job is to protect this business. And part of my job is to also help people. If there is somebody hurt, I’m running into harm’s way. That’s why I have my rifle — because I can protect myself, obviously. But I also have my med kit,” Rittenhouse offered as a reasonable explanation for his presence.
Russians were restricted from being admitted access to the nation under several laws this nation enacted beginning with the Chinese Exclusion Acts of the 1800’s. The Anarchist Exclusion Act of 1903 sought to restrict their Eastern European presence here. So did the Espionage Act of 1917 as well as the Emergency Immigration Quota Act of 1921 signed into law by President Warren G. Harding.
Filmed footage of Kyle Rittenhouse helping to clean up the vandalism and protect the property three Russian American antifa anarchists added to destroying in Kenosha, Wisconsin with others is all over the internet. So is footage of the teenager defending himself after being kicked by Anthony Huber (deceased) and smashed with a skateboard by Gaige Paul Grosskreut (permanently injured).
Russian immigrants make up approximately 1.6 percent of the nation’s population. The majority of Russian Americans here are descended from illegal immigrants who entered the nation with fraudulent credentials like the Forest City Enterprises Ratner family’s uncles and grandparents did in the early 1900’s. Wisconsin U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar is on record as saying her Russian immigrant ancestors arrived here illegally.
33 Russian Americans whose ancestors may have immigrated here illegally serve in the U.S. Congress. 21 in the House of Representatives. 12 in the U.S. Senate. Russian American Bernie Sanders (aka Gitman) became the first “known” Russian to compete for president in a major political party’s primary election as his “Progressives” sought to take over the nation.
A Russian American Kenosha, Wisconsin’s cop’s decision to shoot an American Negro Christian named Jacob Blake in the back 7 times is behind the latest anti-police violence in the U.S. Rusten Sheskey is a Russian American Jew who treated Blake like he was an Israeli trying to exterminate Palestinian.
After their violent “Red Summers” of 1917 through 1919 resulted in the slaughter of American Negroes in cities like East Saint Louis, Illinois in 1917, President Woodrow Wilson assigned U.S. Attorney General Alexander Mitchell Palmer and FBI Director John Edgar Hoover to round up over 4500 “Bolsheviks.” 240 were deported to Russia aboard the USS Buford where they were kept in line by Josef Stalin.
Twice Russians in Palestine have attacked the U.S. Once during the Lavon Affair in 1954 where they planned to bomb places Americans attended to blame on the Egyptians. A second time in 1967 when the Isreali Defense Forces attacked the USS Liberty and slaughtered 34 U.S. sailors. 171 were wounded.

Sibir reaches conference semi. Eastern quarter-finals, Day 6
8 March 2015, 17:33
(7)Traktor 1
(2) Sibir 2
Sibir wins the series 4-2
Jarno Koskiranta’s fifth goal of the play-offs was enough to earn Sibir a slender victory over Traktor and secure its place in the Eastern Conference semi-finals for the second year running. The Finn got the game-winner midway through the third period to give the Siberians a 4-2 series success.
Koskiranta, who now joins Sergei Mozyakin at the top of the post-season goal-scoring chart, stormed into Traktor’s zone with eight minutes to play and surprised Michael Garnett with an early wrist shot as the defense failed to close down the danger quickly enough.
That proved sufficient to resolve a game in which Traktor had its chances but perhaps failed to really test the visitor as much as necessary. While the Chelyabinsk team spent much of the game on the front foot, it managed surprisingly few shots on Mikko Koskinen’s net.
It was Sibir that struck first, taking advantage of its first power play to open the scoring through David Ullstrom. That goal, the Swede’s third in the series, pushed Traktor to the brink of elimination and prompted a strong response from the home team. Roared on by its fans, Traktor stepped up its efforts on offense in search of a way to recover both the game and the season.
It took time to pay off – Anton Glinkin’s equalizer came deep into the second period – but the path to goal had been well-scouted by the time he struck. In the moments before the goal Traktor saw two dangerous breakaways thwarted by Koskinen before Dmitry Pestunov slalomed his way through the defense to sow confusion around the Finn’s net. As the puck dropped loose, Glinkin was on hand to snaffle the rebound and tie the scores.
Sibir reaches the second round of the play-off for only the second time in its history. Once again it will face Metallurg Magnitogorsk, looking for an improvement on last year’s 0-4 sweep at the same stage.
(5) Barys 4
(4)Avangard 1
Series tied at 3-3
Barys saved itself from a first-round play-off exit with a home win over Avangard in game six, taking the series to a decider in Omsk on Tuesday.
The outcome hung on two quick goals early in the second period, breaking the deadlock decisively after an opening session of few opportunities.
Roman Savchenko got the first, firing home a one-timer off a Konstantin Rudenko pass in the 25th minute. Two minutes later it was 2-0 after Nik Antropov capitalized on an Avangard error to launch a breakaway that ended with Roman Starchenko finding Denis Kostin’s net.
Avangard reduced the deficit early in the third period with a well-taken goal from Kirill Semyonov, but then ran into penalty trouble at just the moment when it needed to take the game to the host. Nikolai Glukhov and Vadim Khomitsky picked up 2+10 sanctions in separate incidents a few moments apart, and while the Siberians killed that penalty Barys extended its lead once the teams were back to full strength. Nigel Dawes made it 3-1 and then claimed an assist on Konstantin Pushkaryov’s empty-netter as Barys took this series all the way to game seven.

Catholics Responding to Gay Rights: "We're Still Working on Love"
Posted on the 27 March 2013 by William Lindsey @wdlindsy
Earlier today, I wrote,
If nothing else, my Facebook feed keeps me hooked. For two days now, it's been full of links provided by FB friends, many of them Catholics who are also straight allies of us who are gay, and who overwhelm me with their shows of strong support for me and my community at a time when some Catholic blog sites are full of toxic nonsense attacking gay folks and gay relationships (see, e.g., the Catholic Memes page on Facebook, or these comments from Tom McBride and Purgatrix Ineptiae at NCR threads).
And here's Patrick Gothman at the CatholicConvo site:
Yesterday the Supreme Court heard arguments surrounding California’s Prop 8 ban on same-sex marriage. Today they’ll hear arguments surrounding the Defense of Marriage Act. All over social media, everyone has been quick to take a side. I can only speak for my tribe, and I have to say, Catholics, it hasn’t been pretty. In the rush to stand for morality, it became clear there is an us, and a them. Like if you’re with us. Want to comment that you disagree? You must be for incest and beastiality too! Huzzah! We have logic!
We’re still working on love.
Catholics, it hasn’t been pretty. In the rush to stand for morality, it became clear there is an us, and a them . . . . We’re still working on love.
I'll say! Not much love at all being dished out to gay folks on many Catholic blog sites in these two days in which many other folks are noting, along with Mary Elizabeth Williams at Salon, that their Facebook pages are a sea of red in support of marriage equality.
I've said it before--a number of times, in fact: when it comes to human rights breakthroughs affecting LGBT human beings, it's as if a certain subset of American Catholics, led by our bishops, are determined to miss the big party that the majority of their co-religionists (Mary Elizabeth Williams is a case in point) are throwing to celebrate these breakthroughs. All around them, the embattled Catholics who represent the fortress model of church that arose out of the defensive moment of the Counter-Reformation, are hunkered down, lamenting their defeat in a nasty culture war that has tarnished the Catholic brand in the area of human rights, while most of their brothers and sisters are partying away with other human rights advocates around the nation.
While a majority of their fellow Catholics are celebrating what the Catholic church was once proudly to be known for in the American public square: its robust defense of human rights and concern for those on the margins.
If this report that Tom Fox at NCR has heard about the election of Pope Francis is correct, during the recent papal conclave Cardinal Bergoglio
was reported to have called for the Vatican to emerge from self-absorption and what he called "theological narcissism." He urged the church hierarchy to refocus its energy outside of the institution, on the "peripheries," not only geographical but also existential: sin, suffering, injustice and ignorance. In other words, focus on life in the world among the people, matters causing trouble and pain, while keeping the human family from the healing and liberating work of the church.
Somehow, Catholics of the ilk of NOM, Archbishop Cordileone, the Knights of Columbus, and the many nasty bloggers logging in at Catholic blog sites the past two days to let their gay brothers and sisters know in no uncertain terms that we're not welcome in their smaller and purer church seem not to have gotten the message that the era of "theological narcissism" and attacks on those on the "peripheries" may be waning under a new pope.
More's the pity, it seems to me, that their ears appear stopped to what's, after all, at the very heart of the gospel message. If it's not about love and concern for the least among us, what on earth is it about?
The Mike Luckovich cartoon is by way of Truthdig this morning.

I Am Happy to Say I Wrote This.
Posted on the 08 March 2012 by Gibbs22manila @gibbscadiz
EDITORIAL Philippine Daily Inquirer, Friday, March 9, 2012
EASY, GRACIOUS PRESENCE
Many speak of him as witty, cultured and well-read. But those descriptions tend to remain in the abstract until one enters the office of the late Philippine Daily Inquirer publisher Isagani Yambot and sees for him- or herself the breadth of the man’s hunger for learning.
On shelves and bookcases lining every wall of the office, surrounding his table that itself is piled high with paperwork and reading fare, are volumes on every topic imaginable, from some of the world’s oldest literature (the “Bhagavad Gita,” Petronius’ “Satyricon”) to Western classics (Gide’s “The Immoralist,” Thomas Hardy’s “Jude the Obscure”); from science fiction and travelogues (Ray Bradbury’s “Fahrenheit 451,” Paul Theroux’s “The Pillars of Hercules”) to contemporary literary fare (Salman Rushdie’s “The Satanic Verses,” Graham Greene’s “The Tenth Man”); from nonfiction (V.S. Naipaul’s “India,” Jon Krakauer’s “Into Thin Air”) to potboilers (John Grisham’s “The Partner,” Dan Brown’s “The Da Vinci Code”).
Not surprisingly, memoirs and biographies of media stalwarts abound (Ben Bradlee’s “The Good Life,” Arthur Gelb’s “City Room,” James Reston’s “Deadline”) along with more panoramic studies of the industry (David Halberstam’s “The Powers That Be,” Howard Kurtz’s “Media Circus”). There is history (Sterling Seagrave’s “The Marcos Dynasty,” Nick Joaquin’s “The Aquinos of Tarlac”) and pseudo-history (“The Marcos Years: Achievements under the New Society”). And film, celebrity and pop culture also get their due (George Plimpton’s “Truman Capote” and “The Cinema of Manuel Conde”).
Yambot was a fixture in film festivals, the theater and the concert scene. But not many people knew that, at the end of a movie or a concert, he was invariably back at the office, poring over pages of the paper, often way beyond midnight.
And fewer people knew that while he graduated valedictorian of his batch at Torres High School in Tondo, the salutatorian, Rolando Tinio, would eventually become a National Artist for Theater and Literature. He was, clearly, of that generation that saw the cultivation of the mind, the pursuit of knowledge and the humanities, not only as a professional imperative but also as the anchor of a genteel, gentlemanly life.
Members of his family recall that Yambot was in a hurry to leave the hospital after his heart bypass operation not only because he found the confinement oppressive but also because he wanted to catch a rare production of the opera “La Traviata” in Manila, which ran for only one weekend.
He loved food, the only seeming requirement being that it be edible. He made the rounds of the Inquirer office every afternoon hunting for grub he could squirrel into his office, to be consumed during his late-night labors.
And he loved the sight of pulchritude. A visit from a bevy of beauty queens would see him darting into his office and emerging looking dapper in a suit and with an extra twinkle in his eye.
He was, in short, a boss who wore his gravitas lightly. And in the high-pressure environment of a daily newspaper, that gift for constant buoyancy—a quiet persistence born of decades of experience in the volatile world of Philippine media, some of it under very trying conditions—was always a balm.
Of all the virtues Yambot brought to the Inquirer newsroom—his passion for excellence, his grasp of the vocation and business of news, his defense of press freedom—the one void immediately felt with his passing was his easy, gracious presence.
And from the peerless Conrado de Quiros:
Gani Yambot was nothing if not civilized.
I used to see him in the CCP and elsewhere on the occasions that I got to catch a bit of opera and classical music there. It was unfailing. I wish I could say that he used to see me on the occasions that he did, but I know he did it far more resolutely than me. He loved classical music, and jazz on the side (I’d see him too in jazz fests), and went for it with a passion. It was all of a piece with his general fineness: an eye for the text, an ear for the music.
But that was not the true mark of his civilization. I used to see him too on occasion in forums that dealt with the protection of journalists. I never realized the depth of his passion for it until we held that vigil for the more than 30 journalists that perished in the Maguindanao massacre. It was toward Christmas, we huddled at the steps of the Inquirer office, flickering candles in hand. One by one we took turns making our anger and reprehension known to the world.
When Gani’s turn came, he barely went past a few sentences before he was overcome by emotion. He choked on his words as he tried to describe the horror of the deed. The height of his empathy made it impossible to go on, the depth of his commiseration made it impossible to go on. He stopped, and it was quiet for a while but for the sighing of the wind and the tinkling of distant caroling. Then he summoned his resources and soldiered on. It was a very brief talk he made. It was the best anyone said that night.
You will be missed my friend.

Friday links: new p-hacking data, grant lotteries, things ecologists will never experience, and more
Posted on October 17, 2014 by Jeremy Fox
Also this week: a blogging anniversary, betting on replication, Shakespeare vs. dead animals, Brian and Jeremy have a link fight, and more. Also terrible philosophy puns.
From Brian (!):
Does which countries whose researchers you coauthor papers with affect the impact factor of the journal you get in? Apparently yes: in this piece from Emilio Bruna.
In the always entertaining and provoking Ecological Rants blog, there is a quote from Thomas Piketty’s book (setting the economic world on fire in the topic of income inequality for its careful empirical compilation of historical data). The quote is pretty harsh about economists’ obsession with little toy mathematical models that don’t inform about the real world. Krebs argues this critique applies to ecology as well (and cites no less than Joel Cohen one of the great theoretical ecologists who regularly chides ecologists for their physics envy). While I am an advocate for more math education in biology, I have to confess a certain sympathy with the quote. We’re so busy obsessing with equilibrium math models and small scale manipulative experiments we’re missing a lot of the story that is sitting in front of us in the massive amounts of data that have been and could be assembled. (There’s a controversial statement to make you sit up on a Friday)
Following up on my post about NSF’s declining acceptance rates there is a well argued blog by coastalpathogens suggesting we should just revert to a lottery system (one of my suggestions but not one that received a lot of votes in the poll).
From Meg:
Things ecologists are unlikely to learn firsthand: it’s hard to fly with a Nobel Prize. (Jeremy adds: is it hard to fly with the Crafoord Prize?)
The Chronicle of Higher Education had an article on increasing scrutiny of some NSF grants by Congressional Republicans (subscription required).
From Jeremy:
Link war! Brian, I’ll see your Thomas Piketty quote, and raise you Paul Krugman. Krugman’s long advocated the value of deliberately simplified toy models as essential for explaining important real-world data, making predictions, and guiding policy. See this wonderful essay on “accidental theorists” (and why it’s better to be a non-accidental theorist), this equally-wonderful essay on how badly both economists and evolutionary biologists go wrong when they ignore “simple” mathematical models, and this one in which Krugman explains his favorite toy model and how it let him make several non-obvious and very successful predictions about the Great Recession. Oh, and as important as Piketty’s empirical work is, it’s worth noting that even very smart and sympathetic readers have had a hard time figuring out what his implicit model is. If your model’s not explicit (and if you don’t care much for doing experiments), then your big data might as well be pig data. While I’m at it, I’ll raise you R. A. Fisher too.*
Statistician Andrew Gelman has been blogging for 10 years. I was interested to read his comments that there used to be more back-and-forth among blogs 10 years ago, and that these days that only happens in economics. I share the impression that economics is the only field that has a blogosphere. I also share Andrew’s view that Twitter is no substitute for blogs. Twitter has its uses. But “in depth conversation and open-ended exploration of ideas” is not one of them.
Speaking of Andrew Gelman, he passes on a link to a new preprint on the distribution of 50,000 published p-values in three top economics journals from 2005-2011. I’ve skimmed it, it seems like a pretty careful study, which avoids at least some of the problems of similar studies I’ve linked to in the past. The distribution has an obvious trough for marginally non-significant p-values, and an obvious bump for just barely-significant p-values. The authors argue that’s evidence not just of publication bias, but of p-hacking (e.g., choosing whichever of a set of alternative plausible model specifications gives you a significant result). They estimate that 10-20% of marginally non-significant tests are p-hacked into significance. The shape of the distribution is invariant to all sorts of factors–the average age of the authors, were any of the authors very senior, was a research assistant involved in the research, was the result a “main” result, were the authors testing a theoretical model, were the data and/or code publicly available, were the data from lab experiments, and more.
One more from Gelman: You can now bet real money on whether a bunch of replication attempts in psychology will pan out. I think it would be really fun, and very useful, to have something like this in ecology.
Most tenure-track jobs do not have 300+ applicants (and even the few that do tend to have an unusually-high proportion of obviously-uncompetitive applicants).
Speaking of tenure-track job searches: soil ecologist Thea Whitman with a long post on what it was like to interview (successfully!) for a tenure-track job. Go read it, it’s full of win.

*I’m guessing that Brian saw this response from me coming from 10 miles away, but I figure he (and y’all) would have been disappointed if I didn’t actually follow through and provide it. My boring predictability clockwork reliability is one of my most endearing features. That, and my refusal to to take second place to any ecologist when it comes to making half-baked analogies with economics. [looks over at Meg, sees her rolling her eyes, coughs awkwardly] 🙂 In seriousness, I actually do see what Brian means and probably don’t disagree with him that much here. And for what it’s worth, I think current trends in ecology are mostly running in the direction Brian would like to see them run (e.g., away from MacArthur-style toy models of a single process.)

Jeremy – the thought that my quote and opinion would tweak you never crossed my mind 🙂
The fact that people don’t understand Pikkety’s implied model is beside the point. He went back and collected highly compelling empirical data that has completely dominated the conversation and forced people to wake up and pay attention to ideas that had been under-appreciated before. His work has been enormously influential with no model but really powerful data.
In the end, science is about a good balance between induction and deduction. Science spent 1000+ years in the dark ages because it only used deduction (and just Aristotle’s deductions at that). The Renaisance and Enlightment were about a good balance.between induction and deduction returning. I think it is important to have an ongoing conversation about whether we have the balance right at any point in time in ecology (a balance which has changed over the decades).
What I think is so interesting is where small-scale manipulative experiments fit into this. They in many ways seem the ideal blend of induction and deduction, and they’re the strongest form of inference available to us, so I’m not suggesting we abandon them, but I can’t help but feel they cause us to ignore obvious facts sitting in front of our faces about the natural world. I guess I’m in a more quantitative vein of the people arguing for placing more value on natural history.

So basically you’re seeing me Paul Krugman and raising me Aristotle. 🙂 And to think *I* was worried about making Meg roll her eyes! 🙂
cboettig on October 17, 2014 at 4:37 pm said:
Brian, Jeremy: thanks for your economics ‘link-off’, I quite enjoyed that. I’ve been working my way through “Capital in the 21st Century” (the audiobook edition is a great companion during weekend chores). Piketty and colleagues are a great example of the light that can be shed on standing disputes in a field through the use of both more extensive and more long-term data.
However, I was completely surprised to see you links suggesting that Picketty’s approach is somehow an alternative to “simple models”, or that has models are only implicit. I have found his work every bit as much a nice example of the use of simple models, which I believe he makes quite explicit, as it is an example of long term data. (Okay, perhaps he is a bit more explicit in stating the underlying models in his Science paper with Emmanuel Saez, http://www.sciencemag.org/content/344/6186/838, but he outlines these rather clearly if more verbally in the book too).
So to me, his work is a good example of both your points: the value of more comprehensive, careful, and long-term data, but also the value in using models to understand that. One more thing I enjoyed: he provides several good illustrations of how popular summary statistics (things like the Gini coefficient, Pareto distribution) are often useless or misleading in understanding the question at hand. Possible lessons for ecologists there too.
Lastly, he is very careful to distinguish between “what the model predicts”, when we extrapolate trends into the future, vs any actual forecasts of what the future will really look like, when we remember what is not in the model (e.g. social shocks), reaching largely the same conclusion Brad DeLong does at the end of your linked post. Again something we might think about in the context of predictive ecology.
jeffollerton on October 19, 2014 at 8:11 am said:
Perhaps a minor point, Brian, but it’s not strictly true that “Science spent 1000+ years in the dark ages because it only used deduction (and just Aristotle’s deductions at that)” It’s more accurate to say that “Europe spent 1000+ years in the dark ages….” because all of the interesting stuff, such as inventing chemistry, medicine, astronomy, etc., was going on in the Middle East and China. A lot of which we (re)discovered during the Renaissance 🙂
Jeremy Fox on October 17, 2014 at 1:37 pm said:
It’s actually slightly depressing to me that so far twice as many people have clicked Steve Vamosi’s piece about number of applicants per job than have clicked Thea Whitman’s piece about her interview. She’s a great example to follow, her piece is chock full of good advice, and reading it will put a huge smile on your face. Steve’s piece just debunks a myth that shouldn’t need debunking in the first place.
Margaret Kosmala on October 20, 2014 at 12:16 am said:
Might have clicked through but for your adjective ‘long’. Got too much to do!
Jeremy Fox on October 20, 2014 at 12:51 am said:
“Long” should be incentive to click through on this one! There’s lots of win, not just a little bit! 🙂
Drew Tyre on October 17, 2014 at 2:29 pm said:
I agree we’re ignoring alot of data that is useful at scales that matter (ecoregions and decades instead of continental and plot level snapshots).
Jeremy, have you seen http://longbets.org/ ? Did you post on bets generate any possibilities?
No, I hadn’t seen that Drew, will have a look.
No, my post on bets didn’t generate many possibilities.
Had a quick look, it’s a very interesting mix of serious bets on serious matters by serious people, highly speculative scientific bets (like bets about extraterrestrial life), fun bets (like whether the US will win the men’s World Cup before the Red Sox win the World Series again), and nutters getting taken to the cleaners by sane people (like the guy who bet in 2007 that the US would have no Federal government by 2012).
Exactly! What I like is that it provides a mechanism to actually carry out the bets under public scrutiny, and enforce payment.
That piece on grant lotteries is very cogent, Brian, thanks. If an agency isn’t going to go to the NSERC system (or something like it), then next best might well be to just identify the top 20% or so of proposals and then choose the “winners” from that group via lottery.

Thanks for the link, Jeremy! I got a lot of useful ideas and advice from this blog and others when I was preparing, and wanted to do my part to try to add something to the information out there.
Hey, thank you for writing a really nice post Thea!

www.e3e5.com INTERVIEW ARTICLES
16.09.2007 Three Questions to Grandmasters
Shortly before the start of the World Championship Tournament in Mexico, we asked grandmasters of several generations three questions: 1. What competition for the World Champion title do you remember most of all? 2. What system of determining the World Champion do you prefer? 3. Who do you think will win in Mexico? 41 grandmasters answered: 31 men, 10 women.
16.05.2007 GM’S ALEXANDER PANCHENKO INTERVIEW
We continue our series of publications on All-Russia chess school. IM Sergej Nikolaev interviews Grandmaster A.N.Panchenko.
31.01.2007 Post-San Luis interview with Peter Svidler
What can one ask a chess player about if during the last days the latter has given plenty of interviews to chess and non-chess mass media and even a personal press conference?
29.11.2006 INTERVIEW WITH ZHANNA THAT RESEMBLES HER FATHER MIKHAIL TAL SO MUCH
On November, 9 – 70th anniversary of Tal's birth – the Riga newspaper "Telegraph" published an interview with the eight world champion's daughter Zhanna in which she told about her today's life in Germany and her professional interests. She also shared memories of her father. It transpired that nobody had interviewed Zhanna before. I was touched by her dignity and her astonishing resemblance of her father. Gathering my courage I asked her some questions and now I offer her answers to our readers.
27.07.2006 CROSSROADS OF OPINIONS. PETR SVIDLER: “FOR THE SAKE OF JUSTICE”
St Petersburg grandmaster Petr Svidler answered the questions about the results of Russian national team at the World Chess Olympiad in Turin.
14.07.2006 VIKTOR KORCHNOI: SOMETIMES IT IS HELPFUL TO SUFFER!
Viktor Lvovich Korchnoi answered the questions of our correspondent Vladimir Barsky about the results of Russian team at the World Chess Olympiad in Turin.
10.02.2006 V.Korchnoi’s interview: “Genii and wunderkinds”
It’s always interesting to listen to Viktor Lvovich Korchnoi. It’s something like watching a blockbuster – you’ll never guess the development of the action. Our moviemakers are making the first steps in this genre: “Night watch”, “Day watch”. I offer the readers “Korchnoi: the watch”, in which the famous grandmaster (the watchman) as usual gives no quarter neither to the others nor to himself.
27.05.2005 Sergei Karjakin: “I can't live without chess”
The world chess Olympiad winner Sergei Karjakin came back to the Ukraine for just one day to visit a prize-giving ceremony “Pride of the country 2004”, where he received a prize in the category “Personal achievement”. The next day Sergey went to Greece. His next destination was a tournament “World’s youth stars” in Kirishi. Our correspondent caught the grandmaster in the morning, before the ceremonial event.
24.03.2005 Our guest is Alexander Khalifman
Former FIDE champion Alexander Khalifman gave an exclusive interview to the our website.
18.03.2005 Our guest is Peter Svidler

Quicker is Better – Senate slow-down makes no sense
by Times Staff • April 21, 2010 • 0 Comments
During the first two years of the Civil War, the Union Army was camped on the banks of the Potomac River. General Robert E. Lee’s army was embanked on the other side, at times, almost within site of the Union Army observers.
President Lincoln’s chief General George McClellan repeatedly asked Lincoln for more troops and more horses and more guns and ammunition.
At one point, shortly after disastrous losses inflicted on Union troops by Lee’s army, Lincoln went to McLellan to ask him why he was refusing to engage Lee’s army.
“I need more troops,” he said to Lincoln in answer.
However McLellan already had about 160,000 men under arms who were bivouacked on the edge of the Potomac.
Still, he refused to engage Lee.
Lincoln became furious.
He made the famous observation about McLellan before removing him that, “He has the slows.”
To our way of thinking, it is the senate president who now has the slows after letting it out of the proverbial Beacon Hill tricks bag that the House bill passed last week on expanded gambling would be going through a slowdown on the senate side.
It would have been far simpler for her to be honest and forthright – but she wasn’t.
Instead of telling the House leaders that she doesn’t want slots in the final bill, instead of telling the House that the Senate is going to create its own bill, instead of telling the people of Massachusetts that the new jobs, new building contracts, new revenue streams and new business totaling at least $700 million is about to be slowed down or brought to a halt, she gave us nothing but the stale political message which has caused a near revolution among democratic voters.
A slowdown of the expanded gambling bill is about the last thing this state needs right now.
If she has something to say, then say it.
If she has something better to offer, then offer it.
But to slow down an important bill to let Speaker Robert DeLeo know that she thinks she’s the boss, is an absurdity.
There is presently not one meaningful business proposition being considered in this state that comes close to producing the jobs and revenue streams offered by expanded gambling.
Once again, people who wouldn’t know how to run a corner store are making decisions that affect jobs, revenue streams and the future – all of it financed with private money.
What a shame and what a waste her inaction is.

Penetrators for in situ subsurface investigations of Europa
Gowen, R.A. and Smith, A. and Fortes, Andrew Dominic and Barber, S.J. and Brown, P. and Church, P. and Collinson, G.A. and Coates, Andrew J. and Collins, G. and Crawford, Ian and Dehant, V. and Chela-Flores, J. and Griffiths, Andrew D. and Grindrod, Peter M. and Gurvits, L.I. and Hagermann, A. and Hussmann, H. and Jaumann, R. and Jones, A.P. and Joy, K.H. and Karatekin, O. and Miljkovic, K. and Palomba, E. and Pike, W.T. and Prieto-Ballesteros, O. and Raulin, F. and Sephton, M.A. and Sheridan, S. and Sims, M. and Storrie-Lombardi, M.C. and Ambrosi, R. and Fielding, J. and Fraser, G.W. and Gao, Y. and Jones, Geraint H. and Kargl, G. and Karl, W.J. and Macagnano, A. and Mukherjee, A. and Muller, J.P. and Phipps, A. and Pullan, D. and Richter, L. and Sohl, F. and Snape, J. and Sykes, J. and Wells, N. (2011) Penetrators for in situ subsurface investigations of Europa. Advances in Space Research 48 (4), pp. 725-742. ISSN 0273-1177.
Official URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.asr.2010.06.026
We present the scientific case for inclusion of penetrators into the Europan surface, and the candidate instruments which could significantly enhance the scientific return of the joint ESA/NASA Europa-Jupiter System Mission (EJSM). Moreover, a surface element would provide an exciting and inspirational mission highlight which would encourage public and political support for the mission. Whilst many of the EJSM science goals can be achieved from the proposed orbital platform, only surface elements can provide key exploration capabilities including direct chemical sampling and associated astrobiological material detection, and sensitive habitability determination. A targeted landing site of upwelled material could provide access to potential biological material originating from deep beneath the ice. Penetrators can also enable more capable geophysical investigations of Europa (and Ganymede) interior body structures, mineralogy, mechanical, magnetic, electrical and thermal properties. They would provide ground truth, not just for the orbital observations of Europa, but could also improve confidence of interpretation of observations of the other Jovian moons. Additionally, penetrators on both Europa and Ganymede, would allow valuable comparison of these worlds, and gather significant information relevant to future landed missions. The advocated low mass penetrators also offer a comparatively low cost method of achieving these important science goals. A payload of two penetrators is proposed to provide redundancy, and improve scientific return, including enhanced networked seismometer performance and diversity of sampled regions. We also describe the associated candidate instruments, penetrator system architecture, and technical challenges for such penetrators, and include their current status and future development plans.

FM Statement on House Judiciary Committee Passage of the Cantor/Adams VAWA Reauthorization Bill
The Feminist Majority deplores the passage of the Cantor/Adams VAWA Reauthorization bill by the House Judiciary Committee in a nearly straight party line vote. This House bill is not only VAWA Lite but harmful to many victims of violence. Only one Republican, Ted Poe (TX-2), joined the Democrats in voting no. The Committee, in denying consideration of the substitute bill of Ranking Member John Conyers (D-MI), essentially rejected what Vice President Biden (the principal author of the original VAWA) called the “real McCoy” VAWA Reauthorization which passed the Senate with a bipartisan 68-31 vote in late April.
The war on women’s issues continues; no wonder there is a gender gap in voting. We deplore the making of violence against women legislation a political football (2012 marks the first time that both Senate and House Committee votes on VAWA have been essentially party line).
The bill is particularly cruel to immigrant women survivors of violence because it eliminates their confidentiality in reporting by requiring immigration officials to interview the abuser and tell him about the complaint. Moreover, the bill guts the U visa process which enables survivors to stay in the US while the legal process against the abuser is being pursued. It also is harsh to Native American women when they are abused by non-Native Americans on tribal lands. It does not give Native American authorities the power to prosecute these non-Native abusers. More than 50 percent of Native women have non-Native spouses.
Finally, the Cantor/Adams bill denies LGBT survivors support necessary for victims of domestic violence. The GOP bill simply does not recognize that violence is violence and all victims deserve protection.
Before the Cantor/Adams bill, VAWA Reauthorization legislation, ever since it first passed in 1994, has always expanded coverage and services for the purpose of reducing violence. This is the first time a VAWA bill has been approved that narrows or restricts protections.

Sophomore Seminars
Bon Appétit, Marie Curie! The Science Behind Haute Cuisine
BIOE 32Q
This seminar is for anyone who loves food, cooking, or science! We will focus on the science and biology behind the techniques and the taste buds. Not a single lecture will pass by without a delicious opportunity—each weekly meeting will include not only lecture, but also a lab demonstration and a chance to prepare classic dishes that illustrate that day's scientific concepts.
Each class will include a lecture, a food demonstration/experiment in which you participate, and food preparation or tasting components we explore together. For example, the first session will be mostly concerned with the five main tastes: aromatics, texture/mouthfeel, psychology, and genetics (why some people can't stand cilantro, for example). You will (literally) internalize these concepts with a number of taste experiences and experiments. The remaining sessions will focus on topics such as: why we cook food; what heat does to meat and vegetables; the central role microbes play in cooking and eating; sauces and foams; molecular gastronomy; and of course, the science of dessert!
Markus Covert
Markus Covert says: "The main thing you need to know about this class is that I love science, and I love to cook! I taught a version of this class last year in Paris, as part of the Bing Overseas Studies Program there, and it was incredibly fun. More broadly, I'm a scientist in the Bioengineering Department who focuses on applying mathematics and engineering tools to better understand how cells work. My lab is probably best known for building the first "whole-cell" computer model, which was an effort to represent everything that was known about a bacterium using mathematical equations. That model has turned out to be an incredible tool for discovering new biology."

Keeler Johnson's Kentucky Derby Top 10: Major Changes to Kick Off 2019
Gunmetal Gray winning the Sham Stakes at Santa Anita - © Benoit Photo
J. Keeler Johnson
For the first time in more than a month, there’s been a major shake-up in my .
Following disappointing efforts in Saturday Derby preps from Code of Honor (previously ranked #6) and Coliseum (ranked #8), I have elected to remove both colts from my list for the time being. I have also dropped Roadster (ranked #5), who hasn’t turned in a timed workout since December 19th.
These defections have cleared the way for three newcomers, including Gunmetal Gray, who was part of my original way-too-early Kentucky Derby Top 10 before slipping through the cracks and falling off my list. Suffice to say, it was a tricky week for compiling rankings (and my current list is still very much in flux), but with four months until the Kentucky Derby here’s how I see the top contenders stacking up….
Game Winner
His form was flattered once again when Gunmetal Gray—who chased Game Winner when second in the American Pharoah Stakes (gr. I) and fifth in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile (gr. I)—came back to win the Sham Stakes (gr. III) at Santa Anita. Expect to see Game Winner himself back on the work tab within the next couple of weeks.
Improbable
Remember when Improbable smashed Trophy Chaser by 7 ¼ lengths in the Street Sense Stakes going a one-turn mile at Churchill Downs? Well, Trophy Chaser came back to be beaten just a neck in the Mucho Macho Man Stakes going a similar one-turn mile at Gulfstream Park, giving a subtle boost to Improbable in the process.
Instagrand
He picked up the pace just a bit in his second workout off the layoff, going three furlongs in :37.20 on January 5th. It was still a pretty easy move, but there’s no great rush to have him working bullets at this time of year.
Signalman
Following his victory in the Kentucky Jockey Club Stakes, trainer Kenny McPeek mentioned the March 2nd Fountain of Youth Stakes (gr. II) at Gulfstream Park as a possible target for Signalman’s first start of the season, so it’s not surprising that Signalman hasn’t posted a timed workout so far this year. However, he’s currently in training at Payson Park and should be back on the work tab soon.
Maximus Mischief
According to the Daily Racing Form, Maximus Mischief is scheduled to return to the work tab this weekend with an eye toward a start in the February 2nd Holy Bull Stakes (gr. II) at Gulfstream Park.
Network Effect
For the second weekend in a row, Network Effect worked a half-mile in :49 flat at Palm Meadows, which was actually a quicker time than you might think at first glance considering that the fastest half-mile breeze of the morning (out of 53) was just :48.45. At this point, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see Network Effect return in the Holy Bull Stakes, where he could face off again with his Remsen conqueror Maximus Mischief.
While he did receive a perfect setup, closing into a fast pace that absolutely fell apart late, Gunmetal Gray’s victory in the Sham Stakes (gr. III) marked another solid effort from a colt who wasn't disgraced by any means in two runs against Grade 1 company last season. Gunmetal Gray’s consistency and clear affinity for racing around two turns could earn him a lot of purse money and Derby points this winter, though from a speed figure perspective he still needs to step up his game a bit.
With no races or workouts since his victory in the November 4th Nashua Stakes (gr. III), Vekoma appears to be getting a significant winter break before gearing up for his three-year-old campaign. That’s a little surprising since he shipped to Palm Beach Downs immediately after the Nashua and was even briefly considered for a start in the December 1st Remsen Stakes, but as long as Vekoma gets back on the work tab soon he should be ready to run sometime in February or early March.
Mihos
Like Gunmetal Gray, Mihos received an excellent pace setup while winning the one-mile Mucho Macho Man Stakes at Gulfstream Park—the first half-mile went in :45.42 and the second half-mile in :52.14, making it easier for Mihos to swallow the leaders in the final furlong. But to his credit, this lightly-raced son of Cairo Prince raced wide every step of the way and was just 1 ¼ lengths off the lead after the opening half-mile, so he might have just been the best horse on the day. In any case, he’s got plenty of room for improvement and is bred for success around two turns, so I’m curious to see how he fares in longer, classier races down the road.
Cave Run
I’m going outside the box a bit here with Cave Run, a Godolphin homebred who won his debut at Tampa Bay Downs last month. A stoutly-bred son of Street Sense out of a Bernardini mare, Cave Run showed surprising speed to track the pace and then pull away to a dominant 6 ¼-length victory over the Todd Pletcher-trained Ranger Up, stopping the clock in 1:11.30 for six furlongs while earning an 86 Beyer. Cave Run is bred to excel racing around two turns, and I’m excited to see what he can do when stretched out in distance.

Wyoming adds home-and-home series vs. Texas Tech, trips to Clemson, Iowa
By Kevin Kelley - January 8, 2014
Wyoming has added several future games to their schedules. (Troy Babbitt-USA TODAY Sports)
The Wyoming Cowboys announced several future scheduling additions and changes today, highlighted by a home-and-home series against Texas Tech for 2020 and 2022 and trips to Clemson in 2021 and Iowa in 2017.
Wyoming will travel to face Texas Tech at Jones AT&T Stadium in Lubbock on Sept. 12, 2020. The Cowboys will then host the Red Raiders at War Memorial Stadium in Laramie on Sept. 3, 2022.
Wyoming and Texas Tech last played a home-and-home series in 1991 and 1992 and split the two games. The Cowboys lead the overall series 3-2.
Several other game additions and changes were announced today by Wyoming and are listed below.
Single Games vs. Clemson and Iowa
Wyoming will travel to Death Valley to play the Clemson Tigers on Sept. 18, 2021. It will be the first ever meeting between the two schools. The Cowboys will also travel to face the Iowa Hawkeyes on Sept. 2, 2017. Iowa leads that series 2-0.
Home-and-Home Series vs. Idaho
Wyoming has scheduled a home-and-home series with the Idaho Vandals. Wyoming will travel to face Idaho on Sept. 15, 2018 and will host the Vandals the following season on Sept. 14, 2019.
Missouri Series Changed
Wyoming and Missouri were previously scheduled to meet on Sept. 9, 2017 in Columbia and Sept. 8, 2018 in Laramie. The dates and locations of the series have been changed to Sept. 8, 2018 at Missouri and Aug. 31, 2019 at Wyoming.
2014 Schedule Changes
Wyoming also announced three date changes on their 2014 football schedule:
Road game at Oregon moved from Sept. 6 to Sept. 13.
Home game vs. Florida Atlantic moved from Sept. 27 to Sept. 20.
Home game vs. Michigan State moved from Sept. 20 to Sept. 27.
Wyoming opens the 2014 season at home vs. Montana on Aug. 30.
Wyoming Future Football Schedules
Clemson Future Football Schedules
Idaho Future Football Schedules
Iowa Future Football Schedules
Texas Tech Future Football Schedules
Road game at MSU.
That will be a good test. Wyoming has a good offense but still needs work on defense. Like to see the Pokes pull the upset.
Donny Baker says:
You ‘boys don’t stand a chance when you travel to Iowa to play the Hawks.
bee bee says:
Wyoming needs to either join the Big Sky or drop their football program . I feel sorry for Bohl, I bet he wishes he had never committed to a career in Laradise.

pro-illegal immigrant bail out service....
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,401881,00.html
SILVER SPRING, Md. — Illegal immigrants arrested in workplace raids can now access a fund to help them post bond.
The National Immigrant Bond Fund launched its national debut and fundraising campaign on Monday. Founder Bob Hildreth said Monday the goal is to raise $500,000.
Through the fund, illegal immigrants arrested in raids who do not have any outstanding criminal violations can apply for financial assistance. Churches, legal organizations or community groups help facilitate their requests. The fund provides half the bail money and immigrants must pony up the rest.
The fund has already been tapped into following a few raids, including one in Annapolis on June 30.
The fund was formalized three months ago. Hildreth says it's helped bail out about 100 people so far, and all of those cases are pending.
1) I predict many illegal aliens jumping bail.
2) Too many bail jumpers make for unhappy bail posters.
3) Unhappy bail posters learn by experience, and bail out fewer high-risk crooks.
4) How can you get more high-risk than being from another country?
I support another kind of bail out fund:
1) This one relieves local law enforcement from their mortgage payment.
2) #1 may be substituted for a take-home vehicle of the peace officer's choice.
3) Guarantees one or two free case of the peace officer's choice of domestic beverages per month for stress relief. Not necessarily alcohol, but widely accepted as the norm.
4) Assigns a firing team of Marine guardian angels over all on-duty LEO's.
5) Provides high-tech goggles that automatically detects crime 10 minutes before it happens (seen minority report?)
Anyhow... The first program will go broke before the year is up. No worries!!
Solohammer
Let them run.
They had some of those do-gooder groups down here for a while. When most of their helpees bailed on them (yeah, I know) they got left holding the bond. They didn't last long, as they couldn't bear the financial burden.
If they don't go to their Immigration Hearing, then they will be removed in abstensia. The next time they're caught after that they get sent back to country of origin without a hearing.
Many of the ones that go to their hearings won't get a hard deport anyway. Some will be granted relief and awarded legal status and many others will be given a voluntary departure in lieu of removal.
We've already caught a few aliens that were caught in "raids". They tend to be more vocal about their rights than average. That's fine. "If you want to talk to a lawyer, I can arrange that." Poof, set that person up for prosecution under a criminal statute rather than having him sent back on an administrative charge. No sweat. Most illegals do only time served on an illegal entry charge, but the second offense is a felony. Re-Entry after Removal/Deportation is a felony.
Whatever the case, it's all in a night's work.
NYFedLeo
That is awesome that you are able to get the U.S. Attorney to prosecute them criminally for their first illegal entry. That would never fly in the ultra liberal state of New York.
Calling an Illegal Alien an undocumented immigrant is like calling a drug dealer an unlicensed pharmacist.
"Official Non-Person"
This way the government gets the bail money and gets rid of the immigrant without having to pay to house him.

Interesting Comparison between U.S. and Chinese Police Casulties
cncop
By studying the website tracking U.S. police casulties----Offiers Down Memorial Page （http://www.odmp.org/）and its Chinese counterpart----Public Security Heroes and Martyrs（http://app.mps.gov.cn:8088/yinglie/index.jsp）, I found some very stark contrasts between U.S and Chinese cops.
I. For casulties in direct violent confrontation, most U.S. cops were killed by guns, while most Chinese cops were killed by knife (or other cold weapons).
Reason: Chinese government exercises almost the strictest gun control policy in the world. Therefore, there are very few military weapons among the civilians, and thus the best weaponry for the civilian criminals is no better than daggers or kitchen knives.
In the States, however, it is quite another story, with guns abundant among U.S. citizens.
Typically, most U.S. cops killed by non-gun-related violence are usually correction officers, since the inmates attacking them can only use knife, club or even bare fists.
Interestingly, in 1994, Benny Lee Lawson raided the Washington Police, killing two FBI agents and one local police detective. His weapon was a fully automatic MAC-11. The score is 1:3.
Yet, in 2008, Yang Jia from Beijing raided a Shanghai Police building, killing 6 police officers and wounding another 4, as well as a private security guard. His weapon is nothing but a short knife. The score is 1:6.
Why? 1:3 for a gun-toting killer, yet 1:6 for a "knife-toting" one?
The answer is: there is a flip side of the coin----just because China has strict gun control and thus there are few guns in the hands of civilians, the Chinese police also has a very strict gun policy on its own officers.
As a result, the Chinese cops (even including some field officers) are usually not armed.
And the 6 officers killed by a single knife were all totally unarmed, despite the fact that most of them have either a SWAT or patrol background.
Hence there comes the balance: the U.S citizens have guns, so the U.S. cops are well armed. The Chinese citizens have few guns (for those who have, the so called guns are usually shotguns for civilian use or simply primitive guns made out of civilian R&D), so Chinese cops are not well-armed.
And, usually, when it comes to violent confrontation. The odds are usually----U.S cops with guns VS. U.S. criminals with guns, in contrast to Chinese unarmed cops VS. Chinese criminals with knives.
You can justify yourself by saying that American police-criminal fight is more like a gunbattle movie, while Chinese police-criminal fight is more like an ancient martial arts film.
Because I have something else to do, so I just stop here.
I will come back later, with a second topic----why there are fewer detectives casulties in American than in China?

When do I grow up?
Wow, 1:6 suspect with knife against police!
Do-jeh-leh, (or is it Sheh-sheh?) for sharing that information, I look foward to hearing more.
I met three Chinese SWAT officers while they stopped in Los Angeles between their assignments as U.N. Peacekeepers in Haiti. Nice guys. Spent a lot of money in the Los Angeles Police Academy store.
You be safe, now!

While actually, the Chinese "SWAT" officers you met may not be real tactical officers.
That is to say, although their jobs in Haiti are the SWAT team or riot unit, these cops are usually not SWAT officers back in China.
Many of them are actually from the Entrance and Exit Administration (part of the police, similar to U.S immigration and naturalization service), because the cops sent overseas are supposed to be able to speak foreign languages.
Some of them are active-duty military, because they are from the Border Police, which is a totally military organization, though it is under the control of civilian police. Still, they are not SWAT guys, either. In nature, they are more like your Border Patrol agents or Coast Guards.
And there are those guys who used to be Patrol or SWAT officers in China, but the number shall not be very large, because most Chinese SWAT cops cannot speak foreign languages and, more awkwardly, they are not "formal" police officers, but merely auxiliary cops without any law enforcement powers, usually not considered as "real cops'. They will only work with the police for around 5 years by contract, and no one older than 30 will be further hired by the police (the case in most tier-2 and tier-3 Chinese cities and all counties).
The U.S police cut SWAT budget by forming "part-time" SWAT, while the Chinese police achieve the same goal through hiring auxiliary cops.
And for the score of 1:6 with a knife, that is really surprising to most people.
Before that guy, one Chinese fugitive armed with one pistol and some grenades killed 5 and wounded 6 in a very brief encounter with the police.
It is worthy of mentioning because the ones he killed are not only regular police officers, but also Armed Police officers and soldiers, who are military personnel in fact, similar to the French Gendarms or Italian Carabinieri. And before this incident, he also shot a patrol officer dead in another city.
Why is this guy so tough?
Because he used to be a professional athlete for shooting. Almost all cops killed by him were shot in the head accurately.
Wish all cops safe...
Perhaps they used "SWAT" to either impress me, or make their explanation easier. They were very taken with how many Chinese there were in Los Angeles. and very surprised at how many Chinese-American LAPD officers could speak no Chinese, and only understand a few words that their parents would yell at them when they were kids!
Perhaps they used "SWAT" to either impress me, or make their explanation easier.
The comparison is hard to make, because, technically speaking, the Chinese "SWAT" and American SWAT are two quite different things.
I think it will surprise any American law enforcement officer if I tell him that one Chinese tier-3 city alone employs 4,000 SWAT officers. Haha.
4,000 SWAT cops. That is a hell of an army!!!----U.S. cops tend to feel like this, I am afraid.
The point is, the Chinese SWAT is not SWAT in real sense, namely, small-scale commando team composed of elite tactical officers.
Rather, Chinese SWAT combines the functions of both tactical commandos and riot cops.
Namely, its main function is crowd control, etc.
Thus numerical superiority is a must.
And just because of its large size, the police cannot afford hire so many sworn officers, so they choose to hire more auxiliary cops for the SWAT unit, because these guys are much cheaper.
ChevySSP
So.....the lesson here is that American cops are better suited to handle violent confrontations than their Chinese counterparts?
I don't know whether to feel better about that or appauled...

Not necessarily.
It is just that Chinese cops cannot use guns as often as the American cops, due to policy reasons.
As for capability, Chinese cops can often leverage the "economies of scale".
In other words, in U.S. counties, the Sheriff's Department only employs a limited number of deputies (several dozens at most? excluding the State Troopers coming for help), whereas in a Chinese county you got hundreds of cops and one company of Armed Police troops.
Although China has got more cops because of its larger population, but do not forget that the criminals (no matter in U.S. or China) are usually numbered by 1 or 2, at a time.
Say if you got a gun-toting suspect who opens fire on the officers, American cops can shoot back 50 bullets at the same time?
Yet in China, 300 bullets might be waiting for him (in such a scenario, there would be no limitation on the use of firearms for the police).
Of course, that is just an extreme example, just to highlight the rough difference----for the same number of criminals, when you got more cops, things are much easier to do.
However, American officers do enjoy better tactical advantage than the Chinese cops.
Just because U.S. have some many guns in the hands of citizens, if someone makes a threatening gesture to the police (like pulling out a gun), there will be enough grounds for the officers to open fire, with zero tolerance.
Yet, in China, since there are not so many guns, if a citizen put his hand into his pocket while being questioned by the police, the officers might give him the "benefit of doubt', assuming he has no gun to produce. And so no lethal actions shall be taken directly. The officers can only "subdue" him, instead of killing him directly.
Thus, when the American officer opens fire on the gunman, the Chinese cop is rushing to the gunman, trying to hold his arm...

Hands down the dullest creed yet (bar Chronicles, but you can't really count that). Was expecting something of a Greek mythology game, but this is just monotonous. Keeping going throughout for the platinum deserves a second platinum!

I'm two hours in and I'm already feeling bored. So this thread basically confirms my suspicions 😂
Gonna give it another shot or two, but I don't see myself putting 30+ hours into this one.

I think the game is a solid 7.5/10. I think it can be boring if you try and 100% everything, however if you play just for fun I think this game would be a great experience,
this is my take on it after 150 hours and doing everything i can.

I plat the game in 76 hours and had an absolute blast. Can honestly say I wasn't bored once.

For the record, I was worried about Odyssey going in as had heard a lot of complaints about it and I was coming directly off the back of Origins but I actually really loved Odyssey, all the way throughout my 85 hours with the game. Looking forward to Valhalla and hoping it gets a similar playtime out of me!
P_Pigly_Hogswine 29
I bounce in and out of this game constantly. Maybe it's just being in quarantine makes the open world feel more appealing, but I think I've stopped and started this game about six times now.
Each time it's the same:
I'll get bored with the mission structure. It's always the same: go fetch something from a fort, return it to the quest giver, multiple quests available, more things/people to be fetched from forts. And there are seemingly never ending missions.
Just get bored with the overall game design. It's just box ticking. Go fetch this, go kill that. You're just an errand boy running around like some ancient Greek FedEx guy. Seriously, it should be called Assassin's Creed Odds'n'ends. Just a massive pile of random delivery lists.
The mercenaries. This is probably my biggest gripe with the game and while not boredom related as such, it certainly has added lots of time to my run in having to redo forts over and over. The mercenaries system is borderline game breaking. You go to fort because you need to get something from a chest for the 400th time, and in doing so, you kill the guards and congratulations, you have a bounty. You'll be fighting the fort leader and suddenly a mercenary just happens to know exactly where you are and comes running in. Then as you fight him, another mercenary joins the fight, and he has a lion. So now you're fighting a leader, a bunch of soldiers, two mercenaries and a lion, and then BRAAAAAMMMM the horn blows to announce that a third mercenary has shown up like it's that scene in John Wick 2 when all the assassin's phones start dinging at the same time. And they're all 16 levels above you. You die, and you have the start the entire fort all over again. It is just the worst. Sure, you can sneak around an go the silent approach, but a) sometimes you get sprung, b) slow and silent takes so much more time and after dozens and dozens of these fetch quest forts you just want it over with. It's just so weird for a game to punish you for engaging in its core mechanic.
I don't care about any of the characters or story. I'm playing Kassandra and I enjoy her (mostly because I find Alexios' voice acting so bad) but I just don't care about the story, and that's because it doesn't really have much to do with anything. You're not an assassin, you're not a templar, yes the story kinda goes into the Order of the Ancients, but weirdly the actual main story doesn't really cover that ... it's all in the Cultist missions which are optional. And don't even start me on how that whole Cult thing concludes. Kassandra (and I'm guessing Alexios) just doesn't seem that personally invested in the story. Like she's just there. One second you're fighting for Sparta, next you're fighting for Athens, you just do whatever the quest giver tells you. I never felt like it was Kassandra's/Alexios' story and you're just there to fetch things for other people and weirdly romance every second person. By chapter 4 I was just hammering on the circle button to skip all dialogue and choosing a gold response to move it along. The end of the main story is just baffling, but does something a lot of recent AC games do: the real bad guy just comes out of nowhere and is just another political dude you fight in a large area.
Odyssey is a classic example of bigger is not always better. There's too many game systems at play, all cobbled together into this giant whole, and none of it actually makes the experience more interesting. It's like the created this giant map, then had to fill it with stuff. Great opening act, but it's just incredibly repetitive and boring from there.
Despite it being the biggest AC game by a mile, it feels rushed. Especially compared to Origins which I loved. Odyssey feels like it was designed by an algorithm not people.
For the record: AC2, Black Flag, and Origins were all spectacular. Odyssey is trying too hard to be The Witcher, Shadow of Mordor, and Red Dead and not enough time trying to be an AC game.
da-Noob123 108
I'll preface this with the fact that I have only played about 30 hours and have yet to make it to Athens and I have not played Origins yet.
Before starting I told myself this is going to be a different experience unlike any previous AC. Plus, I love history especially Ancient Rome, Greece, and Egypt.
I have found this to be similar to Dragon Age Inquisition though the map might be bigger. DA:I will most likely have the better story but I like Odyssey's so far. Exploring Ancient Greece is awesome but like Inquisition there is lot of map to explore with something truly interesting only occasionally and sometimes I just want to get to the next sync viewpoint and get out of Dodge so to speak. Then I find a side quest that I really enjoy. I have had a couple that really stood out while island hopping. The Dagger questline was good, as was the love potion one (highly recommend calling the guards at the end it was hilarious), and then there was quest to help a little girl named Khloe, get joo-lry for her friends- that one broke my heart.
So far there is a lot of nonmemorable tracking down "?" on the map but quests like the above have made it worthwhile so far.

I had a blast playing the main campaign; collecting the trophies for the base game and thus, earning the plat. All went downhill once I started playing the DLCs, that's when I had felt exhausted and got bored with the game and wanted to 100% it ASAP.

Why not pay off the bounty, you can do it any time. I found it easier to get those pesky mercs off my back as early as possible.
Back to the topic. I have played my fair share the AC games and I have absolutely no expectation from this game besides normal AC stuff. And I would say Odyssey is on par with others, no more no less. it has beautiful scenes and adequate stealth system and that's all i ask.
Boring? maybe, you do some quest, collect some equipment, help a bunch of people, kill some more, reveal the map, check the question mark for trash. It is AC game in a nutshell for you.

There were some boring parts but I actually really enjoyed it. I’m a sucker for open world games though.
But comparing it to for example rdr2 or witcher 3 well yeah then it’s shit😂
steel6burgh 676
The game is boring as all hell. It is mostly made up of fetch quests where you run to a quest giver and then run and preform the task, often times a very long distance, then you run back. Sometimes these quests have multiple parts and in many instances have nothing to do with the story. In many or most cases they have no point or fail to be humorous in any way which in many case is clearly the intent. They award nothing and are very repetitive in nature. The tales of greece are just long horrendous examples of this. the game is a enormous world in size and despite 100 or more of these quests running all over the map you will only cover about 25% of it. The old AC games are much more entertaining.
Vault-TecPhantom 34
No, it's not, it's awesome. I put over 400 hours into it, with two full playthroughs once on normal and the other on nightmare without even doing a new game plus because it's one of the best Assassin's Creed games. We can argue back and forth about whether it's faithful to the lore of the creed but the game itself is fun as hell and making overpowered builds that kill bosses in one hit never got old haha
MadMardigan_88 60
I wasn't bored with the game. I just didn't enjoy one of the dlc. Put in over 170 hours into it when I got 100% completion. Played as Casandra the whole time. Didn't like the other character at all.

Kassandra is the canon protagonist. Ubisoft put Alexios as a male skin to appease all the browflakes who would have cried about having to play as a woman, hence the the lack of care with him (including the dreadful voice acting) shows.

This one looks better and more interesting than the old AC’s but doubtful I would play it for anywhere hear the 100 or so hours needed.
Cherrywood 94
I wouldn't say that I found it "boring" but I would definitely say that if you're playing it and you are finding it boring, that's not going to change. It's not going to change things up; it's not dynamic like that. It's a repetitive experience. And I personally enjoyed it (although certainly not my favorite Assassin's Creed game and it really personified what I don't prefer about the direction that they're taking the series in), went for the Platinum trophy, would say I had fun, but if you're not enjoying it? You're not going to.
16 hours ago, Vault-TecPhantom said:
I've heard that not too long ago about them adding him to appease others. Calling the voice acting for Alexios dreadful is being kind. It didn't take long after hearing him that I was wondering if there would be a time in the game when I would get to kill him to shut him up. That's the first I've heard the term "browflakes." lol
Mariner1534 84
Odyssey is one of those games I would've liked more had I not gone for the platinum. I had a really good time for the first 40-ish hours, but the plat took another 50 on top of that. And then 25-30 more for the DLC... I was pretty burned out by then.
It's not a bad game and I liked exploring Ancient Greece, but I just feel like there wasn't enough interesting content to fill a map of that size. It's a completionist's nightmare.

Ive been playing since ac first game out. Remember playing on my 360 and loving it. I stopped playing games and stuff for a bit tho. Ac3 was the last before I played syndicate. Which I didn't really enjoy as much as the ones before. Then I played odyssey. So much fun! I thought Alexios was awesome. Fuck kassandra. Wanted to kill her from the start. Only thing I hated was the only glitch I encountered and that was the last three lost missions didn't show up. So that has bugged me cause they are easily done, but I think I would had to play to chapter 5 again. The story for sure is the least strong of the bunch.

Took me well over 120 hours to get the 100% in the game. I never found it boring. Yes, it dragged on quite a bit. Especially during the dlcs. But I never regretted the time I spend with it.

I havent really enjoyed an AC for a while, it just feels like the series as a whole is stale. Every game just feels like a reskin in a new country but I still pick them up when they go on a huge sale.

Annual: Plants that perform their entire lifecycle within a single growing season. All roots, stems, and leaves die at the end of the growing season. Over wintering seeds allow the next generation to appear.
Biennial: A plant that is typically vegetative its first year and blooms the following season. Once it has bloomed and set seed, the plant dies. Garlic mustard is an example of a biennial.
Perennial: These plants live for three or more seasons. Many perennials may not be mature enough to bloom during its first year. Perennial wildflowers re-grow each season from overwinter root material.
Vascular: Any of various plants that have the vascular tissues xylem and phloem. The vascular plants include all seed-bearing plants (the gymnosperms and angiosperms) and the pteridophytes (including the ferns, lycophytes, and horsetails). Also called tracheophyte.
Bryophyte: A large group of seedless green plants including the mosses, liverworts, and hornworts. Bryophytes lack the specialized tissues xylem and phloem that circulate water and dissolved nutrients in the vascular plants. Bryophytes generally live on land but are mostly found in moist environments, for they have free-swimming sperm that require water for transport. In contrast to the vascular plants, the gametophyte (haploid) generation of bryophytes constitutes the larger plant form, while the small sporophyte (diploid) generation grows on or within the gametophyte and depends upon it for nutrition.
Lichen: The mutualistic symbiotic association of a fungus with an alga or a cyanobacterium, or both. The fungal component of a lichen absorbs water and nutrients from the surroundings and provides a suitable environment for the alga or cyanobacterium. These live protected among the dense fungal hyphae and produce carbohydrates for the fungus by photosynthesis. Owing to this partnership, lichens can thrive in harsh environments such as mountaintops and polar regions. The more familiar lichens grow slowly as crusty patches, but lichens are found in a variety of forms, such as the tall, plantlike reindeer moss. The association between the different organisms in a lichen is so close that lichens are routinely referred to as a single organism, and scientists classify lichens using the name of the fungal component.

State Rank
This numeric rank provides the relative rarity for each species based on a scale from 1 (very rare) to 5 (common). These ranks carry no legal status.
S1 - Typically 5 or fewer occurrences, very few remaining individuals, acres, or miles of stream, or some factor of its biology making it especially vulnerable in the state.
S2 - Typically 6 to 20 occurrences, few remaining individuals, acres, or miles of stream, or factors demonstrably making it very vulnerable in the state.
S3 - Typically 21 to 100 occurrences, limited acreage, or miles of stream in the state.
S4 - Apparently secure in the state.
S5 - Demonstrably secure in the state.
SE - State exotic or non-native.
SH - Historically known from the state, but not seen in the past 15 years.
SNA - Species for which a rank is not applicable. This is mainly those species which are now excluded from flora for various reasons.
SNR - Not yet ranked.
SX - Apparently extirpated from the state.
Each species' global rank is determined by NatureServe. These ranks carry no legal weight. The global rank reflects the species worldwide rarity.
G1 - Critically imperiled globally because of extreme rarity (5 or fewer occurrences), or very few remaining acres, or miles of stream) or especially vulnerable to extinction because of some factor of its biology.
G2 - Imperiled globally because of rarity (6 - 20 occurrences, or few remaining acres, or miles of stream) or very vulnerable to extinction throughout its range because of other factors.
G5 - Demonstrably secure globally, though it may be quite rare in parts of its range, especially at the periphery.
GH - Historically known, with the expectation that it might be rediscovered.
GNA - Species for which a rank is not applicable. NatureServe does not typically rank hybrid species.
GNR - Not yet ranked.
GX - Species believed to be extinct.

CN had at least 25,000 players at the beginning of last month. I might be wrong about the exact number, but it was at least 25k. Now CN only has about 22k players. We lost 3,000 players in a month! When I first started playing CN, I remember it had at least 40k players. More and more people are losing interest in CN, and I think I know why.
There haven't been any major updates in a long time. When was the last time a new resource, improvement or wonder has been added to the game? The Moon and Mars wonders were added about a year ago, but that's the only big update that I remember. When a game doesn't get updated for a long time, it gets stale and people lose interest in it. When people start playing and see that the game hasn't been updated in months, they think it'll never be updated. The developers need to update the game on a regular basis if they want people to stay interested in the game and keep playing. CN developers, if you're reading this, add something to the game so it doesn't go stale and so people won't lose interest in it. Add a new improvement, resource, wonder, religion, government, ANYTHING. You can say it takes time to add stuff to the game, but you're going to need to add something new if you want people to stay interested in the game. If the number of players keeps falling at this rate, CN will cease to exist!
Next entry Idea for infrastructure
darthzen123
i have a idea,maby this is out of hand and impossible but hear(or read) me out
1)have a war map
2)add city's/town that will be in a players sol
3)give the ability to move troops/other military on the war map
i know this is big,but itll bring more people for sure

Those are pretty good ideas. It would also be nice if you could see how your soldiers look. When you have 0 tech, they're tribals; when you have thousands of tech, they'll have power armor and hi-tech weaponry.

Also remember that people stop playing a lot during the summer months, due to travel or work or other commitments. Usually it picks up again in September or October.
Jacapo Saladin
People complain a lot that there is NOTHING TO DO, and that wars are too far apart. 0-10k infra levels should be cheaper to facilitate much faster rebuilding and therefore more wars!
Biff Webster
Or we could stop: beating the crap out of anyone new, making them feel silly for daring to start an alliance before being brainwashed by an established one, making threads with "reasons given in private" etc.
Best way to increase player count: stop these boring blogs about losing players.
King Wally
some new wonders would be nice... maybe some different ones like say the ability to declare a 4th agressive war etc. Stuff unique and new.
Maybe even a wonder that helps you rebuild after a war faster... like a gold reserve that you can pull a 10 mill cash bonus out of once a year max.
SirDog
Incorrect, I think this is relevant and obviously the subject matter has bored you enough to get your attention. The fact is that CN used to be 28k a few months ago and slowly numbers are dwindling. And the OP is correct, the loss in members has been constant, despite the incentives offered to attract members. So at what stage should this be discussed? This is a good time instead of leaving it until we are under 10k, and admin reach a point where it is no longer feasable to support.
There are two issues to the topic of membership numbers, 1. Retention of current members; and, 2. Attraction of new members. With each of these come a number of different points or strategies to discuss.
Rextu
Less idiocy on the OWF and less bickering about the game's rich (perhaps too much so) history.
I've noticed we've also developed a strong metalanguage and expectations which aren't easy to learn. Would a newb know what an ODP is? Would they know that EZI and unconditional surrender are looked down upon? Would they know what the Hegemony, Super Grievances or Francoism are? How does one build a reputation with a clean slate?
For example, I have been in this game for three and a half years, lead 215 member alliance and I bet even the most experienced and active CN players would know who I am. Even if I was as active as all of MK put together, I wouldn't be able to muster the respect that players such as Dilber etc. have, probably because I wasn't around in 2006.
I don't think we can ever change what we've become, but this culture and custom-rich community we have become would make a sociologist &*&^ in their pants. Perhaps if we're still all here in four years, I might be able to do a PhD on us. We'll see.
Prime Minister Clark
If we just had more updates, we could get far more players, also some advertising on other websites wouldn't hurt, we need a MASSIVE overhaul in general, do we even have mods anymore?
Vincent Imperator
I've noticed the player count going down by about 100 per day.
More good, obvious updates would be a handy solution.
Probably it would be good if we stopped having rematches of wars from 2006 and 2007 which new players have no clue about.
iMatt
It would be nice to have a chart of this decline, with actual data points on it. Anyone been collecting that data? I suppose I should ask UE about it...
Free Quebec
A reset is a way to refresh a game that has huge limits on kind of updates we can get.
MConorDever
Thats because CN has to much politics and not enough war
The one guy above me is right. CN gets too political and new players don't understand what the older players are talking about. Even I don't understand most of the stuff. They should add at least one new improvement, resource or wonder each month to keep the game from going stale.
Sword of Estel
Of course the mods haven't disappeared in a month, Mr. Clark, we've just been busy eating 15,000 nations. Of course.
Max Powers
It would be interesting to take the data we wish we had and compare with CN Tournament which has less history and politics. I like the idea of war maps, one of the main things this game has always lacked for me is visual content.
Varianz
TE has a great deal of history and politics. It just happens much more behind the scenes then Standard Edition politics does. We've got our won Ivan's and Dilbers, our own Archons and Van Hoo's. We have our drama and our bickering and our rivalries. We have, in short, everything SE does. The one thing we have that Standard Edition players do not have is a lead on studying the decline of our game. We've been watching the numbers in TE fall for rounds and rounds now, and there have been several efforts, public and private, to reverse that decline. We've not been successful obviously. If anyone is interested you can hit me up on IRC (my nick on IRC is Tiberius12).
The MVP
Aha! I knew it!
School's coming up, casual players drop out, nothing special, and no big loss.
Mandolus
It takes 25 days for a nation to delete, they'd have to have lost interest mid summer for school to affect the numbers at all.
The war map idea...
I think it is very doable. Look at how cybercitizens works. The concept could be applied here.
You would move your armies into range of your opponent. Your center of the circle would be where your army is located.
The surrounding circle around the "dot" or "pin" where your army is where your armies range would reach. So to attack an opposing army you would have to have their "dot" or "pin" within your circle.
Navy would work pretty much the same as I stated above.
CMs and Aircraft could have a much larger range in case your opponent maneuvers out of your range.
Perhaps use tech level as the determining factor as to how much movement range similar to cybercitizens you would have.
ICBMs wouldn't be subject to this range factor as they are obviously intercontinental.
Land of True Israel
I don't necessarily agree. There comes a point in time to when people should just accept the game for what it is. I think the players themselves ruin the game more then the lack of new features.
Ghuxalia
I was going to say "!@#$ or GTFO" just for you, CSF. But then I read actually read your post.
And then I changed my mind. !@#$ or GTFO.

Are we to take Game Rankings as being the official moderator of this conflict of greatness? I think not.

It's better to take the summation of all credible reviews as a measure of greatness rather than one singular review. Although, at the end of the day, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. A lot of people like it, some people don't.
I don't think OoT will ever be dethroned. In my eyes, it's perfect. The graphics were great for it's time, music was good, gameplay was perfect and the story was great for its time. I can't think of one bad thing about it.
I still am confused on how Galaxy got so high, I just don't think it's as good as reviewers say it is.
I've never played GTA IV so I wouldn't know if it is truly as great as everyone says it is.

I agree with you there. I honestly hoped it would be a lot better than it turned out to be.

The reason Mario Galaxy got such good ratings is because it brought back the feel of the old Mario games,more so Mario 64.It was a lot better than Sunshine which didn't do much for the series.
OoT is not a perfect game,no game is.there are a lot of glitches but who cares.Zelda has the one of a kind feel to it and can send players into another world for hours.OoT is close to perfect.It did have graphics that ppl at the time thot were breathtaking,of course compared to games like Gears of War and GTA,the graphics seem not that good.And yh the story is basically the same as the other Zelda games,but so what.If a game series with the same story in every game didn't sell,they would come up with something new,but Zelda sells...big.no matter what the story is.Zelda has a lot of awards under its belt.Awards that other games would kill for.So yh,OoT may not look better(by today's standards) that GTA IV but it is a game that will go down in history as one of the best.so suck it GTA!!!
Lord_Sesshomaru, May 18, 2008
Alot of glitches? In OoT? I haven't ever experienced a glitch in it and I still have the original N64 version.
if you go up to a wall or something like that,link's arm will be sticking into the wall sometimes...thats happened a lot with me.and there is some other stuff but i can't think of anything right now
That's not really a glitch. That was normal back then, graphics weren't advanced enough to prevent that.
ok.i feel like an idiot.o well.its still a great game.the fire temple is the best!!
I am holding my tongue for obvious reasons....but suffice to say it's all opinions in the end. It doesn't matter whats the perfect game, because it is what you make it.
I myself think OOT is the closest we will get to true perfection for a video game, it had enough in it to be full of depth, but didn't go overboard with features. It had a plethora of features, weapons, NPC's that all had a function and personality, and it had the perfect balances of difficulty in terms of puzzles, challenge for the players and dungeons. For me, it was a total package.
Longo_2_guns said:
Though the concept was the same as Mario 64, I somehow felt that it was incredibly innovative. It had such a fresh feel to it and it was just plain fun. That's why I enjoyed it at least.
Squiggy Regular
Some of the glitches were what made Ocarina of Time so amazingly fun. When you weren't busy conquering the dungeons, you were exploiting tricks to see funny stuff happen. Remember all the stuff that would spark up from the Swordless Link trick (saving your game and turning it off after Ganon knocks away the Master Sword)? Or turning any item into a bottle (great for that claim check that never goes away... or Farore's Wind).
Ocarina of Time was practically the pinnacle game of its genre, and one of the defining games of the Nintendo 64 right up there with Goldeneye and Super Mario 64. It really is a great game, and in my eyes, one of the best ever made.
Yeah, it wasn't perfect. All games have their flaws (because FUCK YOU running man!). The flaws didn't outweigh the good parts though, and it was a great game.
If you don't like the game, that's your opinion, and you're entitled to it. Me, though, I love Ocarina of Time, it was my first Zelda game, and will always be my favorite.
Squiggy, May 18, 2008
I agree with you on that.and on the opinions because its all about reviews and who gets the better reviews gets the higher score and all reviews are,are opinions.OoT set a benchmark in gaming.according to IGN it was the biggest game of the decade.It is a masterpiece.In some people's eyes,it is perfection.few games have the effect that zelda has had on gamers.and thats what sets it apart.Zelda was already a great series but OoT set Zelda's greatness in stone.
petrucci Rookie
Man, watch the run I posted if you feel like it sometime. It shows just how very glitchy the game is. The glitches are a good thing though, it keeps people playing the game and even discovering new things years after the release.
petrucci, May 18, 2008
Gamesharking it can cause for lots of new discoveries and fun little quirks.
Such as spawning Dark Link in the Temple of Time instead of the warping pedestal, then switching models with it (effectively playing as Dark Link for your duration inside the temple).
Also, spawning the Arwings that were left in the background coding that were originally there for debugging the targeting system.
Also, Beta Quest. Enough said.
GhostTrip Rookie
You can tell OOT was the biggest success when fans screamed about how Wind Waker was going in the wrong direction... before they played the game.
GhostTrip, May 19, 2008
OoT was a great game, definitely not a perfect game, but it many people's eyes, the best that has been made yet.
Odbarc Rookie
When you compare games, you should really consider 'for their time'. Almost all new games should be better than existing games, especially from those a generation ago.
OoT maybe the best game in it's generation.
Odbarc, May 19, 2008
^Not exactly. OoT is still way better than some games nowadays. The only thing you shouldn't compare are the graphics for obvious reasons but you still compare the game as a whole.
the gameplay in OoT is definitely better than some games today.its really easy to pick up and learn.

moral theory kant
STRENGTHS Not consequentialist - Kant realised a bad action can have good consequences. Kant, of course, didn’t have all that science to back him up, but he did have strong intuitions and good arguments to suggest that humanity was a “crooked timber,” and that all of our philosophy would therefore be crooked in the same ways.
One Correction: It was Bentham, not Mill, who stated rights are nonsense on stilts. As Guyer puts it, the second Critique , "which begins with the fact of reason, ends with the story of Anne Boleyn and …
To use someone as a mere means is to “involve them in a scheme of action to which they could not in …
According to Kant’s perception of moral duty, this phenomenon is necessary to discuss from both aspects: from the point of view that moral duty is an action and that moral duty is a motif. Kant Applies the Principle of Humanity to Cases 1-4 The Principle of Autonomy The law we are bound to obey must be the product of our own will (as far as we are rational), i.e., the law rests on "the idea of the will of every rational being as a will that legislates universal law." Key Concepts of Kant's Moral Theory. "Would you like it if someone did that to you?" Kant defines moral duty as a necessity of action caused by respect to the law. Like Utilitarianism, Imannual Kant’s moral theory is grounded in a theory of intrinsic value. Kant views it as an action that one is obliged to obey. Persons, conceived of as autonomous rational moral agents, are beings that … But where the utilitarian takes happiness, conceived of as pleasure and the absence of pain to be what has intrinsic value, Kant takes the only thing to have moral worth for its own sake to be the capacity for good will we find in persons. "Then don't do it to someone else" Autonomy - Kant has the… He is equally well known for his metaphysics–the subject of his "Critique of Pure Reason"—and for the moral philosophy set out in his "Groundwork to the Metaphysics of Morals" and "Critique of Practical Reason" (although "Groundwork" is the far easier of the two to understand). Nevertheless, there are such situations, which make the performance of such simple moral duty very difficult. Fairness, Consistency, Autonomy. Kant believes that all people have intrinsic or inherent value. Kant believed that there was a supreme principle of morality, and he referred to it as The Categorical Imperative. Clear - Kant's theory is argued as simple. Sullivan's expository style successfully illuminates aspects of Kant's moral philosophy that would typically be overshadowed by excessive criticism and well intentioned attempts to reconstruct a more acceptable reading.

Friendship House (1958 - present)
The Friendship House in Prince Rupert has been a part of this community for quite some time; this year the Friendship House is celebrating it's 60th birthday. In 1958 Dr. Bob Elliot (a United Church minister), achieved his vision of establishing a Friendship Centre in Prince Rupert. With the support and funding of the United Church, a venue had been rented to house a men's hostel and a milk program for children. The Friendship Centre's services quickly expanded as it began to offer a large variety of new programs. By the early 1960's the Friendship Centre had acquired support from government sources in order to facilitate renovations to house the new programs. By 1963 the Friendship Centre was completed and reopened as the Friendship House. In 1968 the Friendship House had answered a request by the City of Prince Rupert to temporarily house the Prince Rupert Library as it's original building had burnt down. By 1976 the milk program developed into a nursery school that operated alongside a youth street work program, alcohol rehabilitation program and a hostel. The hostel supplied emergency lodging, food and hospitality to those who were experiencing financial or other difficulties. Aside from their own organized programs, the Friendship House also became a meeting area for multiple independent groups; such as the Carving Room and Club 61. The Friendship House then transitioned from a hostel into an inclusive organization that still provides assistance to the community with a multitude of programs and services to this day.

The History of FUJINON episode4
There are FUJIFILM lenses that are credited with the “EBC”. It’s an abbreviation for “Electron Beam Coating” and it indicates that the lens has been applied with multi-layered anti-reflective coating.
It is a technology to enhance the lens performance by eliminating light reflection generated by the difference of the refractive index between the lens and air.
Its history goes back to 1972. FUJINON F3.5/55mm Macro was the first camera lens ever to have the coating. There was only a limited supply of raw materials for the coating. The record shows that 14 layers of coating have been applied to achieve the intended lens performance.
It was a breakthrough technology at the time however, and it was awarded with 25th Motion Picture and Television Engineering Award in Japan.
The research and development of the coating technology continued ever since. “EBC” then became “Super EBC” ,and it has now become “HT-EBC”, which realizes 99.8% optical transmittance. There even is “Nano GI Coating”, a new technology with a completely new way of applying coating.
The advancement in coating technology leads to more freedom in optical design. For example, higher optical transmittance or greater reduction in reflection allow lens design with greater number of elements. The multi-layer coating technology was originally developed to enhance the performance of broadcasting TV lenses and cine lenses, which often have more than 30 elements in their configuration.
The coating is also effective for wide-angle lenses, too. The reflection will be greater as the curvature on the lens element becomes greater. But with better coating, we can overcome the problem.
The advancement in lens technology is proportional to the coating technology. We will move one or two steps forward to achieve the dream lens with the next coating technology.

February Firefight at Mizan
April 25, 2007 · Michael Fumento · Weblog
February 7, 2006. Approximately 40 Taliban are detected during daylight about 10 kilometers northwest of FOB Mizan. A jet could be called in on their position, dropping bombs and firing missiles and almost certainly killing some of them. But some of them isn't good enough out here. When you get the chance to kill or capture some, you try to kill or capture every last one of them. No airstrike can promise that on a group of men spread out precisely to avoid heavy casualties from the air or artillery. You have to go in and get them.
Approaching from three directions, the idea is to catch them in a pincer so that the only Taliban options will be death or surrender. B Co.'s contribution, headed up by unit commander 1st Lt. Kevin Stofan, is to stealthily set up a blocking position with five Humvees carrying a variety of weaponry inside the trucks and in the truck turrets.
"I pinpointed them in a saddle [a depression, literally shaped like a horse saddle]," said Stofan later. But the enemy quickly realizes their position is detected "and acted like the desperate men they were." If Stofan saw them first, they see him first among the Americans.
In quick succession they fire 5 RPG rounds at his vehicle. These are the most feared Taliban weapons on the battlefield. Humvee armor can stop machine gun fire from anything the Taliban can carry, but an RPG will rip right through it.
"He knew that an RPG round was coming and he just kept firing," said Stofan. The explosion ripped away three of his fingers. "An RPG round knocked me unconscious and I was pretty banged up," said Stofan. The medic in the vehicle, Pfc. Aaron Murray, suffered a concussion and shrapnel wounds to his hand.
Humvees are darned heavy (the Afghans call them "tanks") but the force of one of the RPG rounds causes this one to roll down a crest, separating those inside from an unconscious Zaehringer. The only unhurt and conscious man in the truck is Pvt. Stephen Wright, who just joined the unit two months earlier. He runs back up the hill, firing suppressive rounds from his M-4 carbine before grabbing Zaehringer -- who for all he knows is dead -- by the handle on his body armor and pulling him back to the Humvee.
"Wright was practically fresh out of basic training," Stofan said with a bit of awe in his voice, "and he did everything automatically."
"We put a bad hurt on the Taliban," said Stofan. "Probably upwards of 30 were killed, although they were able to drag away most of the bodies."
After an agonizing wait, a Blackhawk drops out of the sky and evacuates the worst of the wounded. Later a jet destroys the Humvee, which is far beyond salvage.
Wright is still with the unit, but doesn't like to talk about the night's events. Murray is also with the unit.
Green is still recovering at the U.S. military hospital in Landstuhl, Germany while Zaehringer was treated at Walter Reed Army Hospital before being transferred to another hospital in Michigan. He's now recovering at his family's home in a small town just outside Chicago.
It's already an almost forgotten episode in America's forgotten war.

The Year of the Big Deer?
May 31, 2016 By David Hart
It's a good year to be a taxidermist. Just ask Harry Whitehead. A taxidermist in Nicholasville, Kentucky, for 30 years, the 2015 season is shaping up to be his best ever. "I'd say the number of deer heads brought to my shop was up 30 percent this year," he says. "The average size is up, too. I used to mount a lot of 140-inch deer, but this season, the average was closer to 150."
Whitehead isn't alone. Far from it. Countless hunters throughout whitetail country made a trip to the taxidermist. That's nothing new, of course. But this year? Big bucks were everywhere. It seemed like every social media outlet and every website dedicated to deer hunting was crammed with beaming hunters posing with giant bucks.
300-Inches
They came from the obvious places, like Kansas, Illinois, and Ohio, including the 300-inch, non-typical giant taken near Junction City, Ohio, by bowhunter Dan Coffman, which is reported to be the biggest buck ever taken by a bowhunter. A 14-year-old Oklahoma girl killed the state's fourth-largest buck and the largest taken by a woman. It scored 179 7/8 Boone & Crockett points.
Even states that aren't known for producing trophy-class whitetails were cranking out a run of big deer. A West Virginia hunter killed what is likely to be the new state record typical whitetail, green-scoring 191 2/8, and a Louisiana bow hunter arrowed a 172 6/8-inch public land giant, possibly the second-largest bow kill in the state.
Part of the plethora of big bucks has to do with social media itself, figures Quality Deer Management Association Director of Education & Outreach Kip Adams.
"We seem to be sharing our deer a lot more on social media," he says, "and a photo of a really big deer gets circulated over the Internet, so it may seem like there are a lot more big deer being killed than in the past. With that said, I really do believe we are starting to see a trend toward really big deer that's been in the works for several years. I think a number of things came together this last season."
Food and Cover
Kansas Whitetail Adventures owner Gene Pearcy agrees. "There was food and cover everywhere in 2014 where I hunt in Kansas. The deer didn't have to travel far, so they were less visible and the kill was down. That meant more bucks had another year to grow. We killed deer during the 2014 season, but the average score was around 140 inches. This year, our average buck was closer to 150, and we killed more this year than the previous year. Several of my outfitter friends in other states reported the same thing. Last season was pretty bad. This season was exceptional."
It wasn't just the traditional big-buck states that saw a bounty of food during the 2014 season and a decrease in the deer kill. Much of the eastern United States, including Ohio and Virginia, saw a bumper crop of acorns. Virginia's 2014 deer kill was down 22 percent from the previous season. Ohio's was lower, as well.

"Deer don't have to move as far when the acorn crop is heavy, so they are less vulnerable to hunters. That's pretty well documented," says Ohio Division of Wildlife biologist Clint McCoy. "This year we had a poor mast crop, which makes deer easier to kill. Plus, they had an extra year to grow. Anecdotally, I'd say yes, we've seen an increase in really big bucks this past season, but it's too early to tell for a fact from any data we might have."
Pearcy wonders if an increased use of mineral supplements and year-round feeding programs have also played a part in the recent spike in buck quality.
Although there is little science to back the connection between supplemental feed and larger racks, Adams thinks there might be a link.
"The big picture is that all the new management efforts everywhere are having an impact," says Adams. "It isn't just food plots and supplements. There are so many more acres being managed specifically for whitetails. The habitat is much better and it is undoubtedly having a positive impact on local deer herds."
Generally, though, the more likely reason this year has seen an uptick in really big bucks has more to do with shifting attitudes among hunters themselves. Consider this: In 1989, nearly two-thirds of the nationwide buck harvest consisted of yearlings, according to data compiled by the Quality Deer Management Association.
That number has been falling ever since. Just 33 percent of the antlered bucks killed in 2014 were yearlings, the lowest ever recorded. Incredibly, the yearling buck kill in Arkansas was just eight percent of the total buck harvest in 2013.
What's more, the average age of bucks being killed by hunters has increased dramatically in recent years. Thirty-four percent of all bucks killed in the 23 states that record age structure were 3½ years old or older. More than two-thirds of the bucks taken in Arkansas and Louisiana were at least 3½ years old.
"It seems like everyone is practicing trigger management," says Adams. "They are passing up younger bucks and shooting older deer. It makes sense that as more deer make it to 3½, more deer will also make it to 4½ or 5½, when they can really reach their full potential."
Management and Trail Cameras
Whitehead and Ohio taxidermist Casey Watterson credit another factor to the increase in giant bucks in recent years: trail cameras.
"They've changed the game," says Watterson, who is also experiencing a spike in business this year. "Hunters now know what's out there. If they know there is a 140- or 150-inch deer running around, they are less likely to shoot the first 120- or 130-inch buck that comes by. I'm up 20 percent over last year.
I had 70 deer between 140 and 160 brought to me, including three or four between 180 and 190 inches, so it certainly seems like this year was a very good one."
One good year doesn't necessarily make a trend, but Whitehead and Watterson are convinced the most recent deer season is a look at the future.
"I've been a taxidermist for 15 years, and every year seems to be a little better than the last," says Watterson. "I think the increase in leasing is also playing a role in this. When people pay good money to hunt, they are less likely to shoot the first buck they see. Others also realize that if they want meat, they can shoot does and save their buck tags for something worth shooting."

Get Off the Grid Fest Solar Expo & Sustainability Fair
Chattanooga * Summer 2021
Meet the Fest
The Sun Watcher/Peace Crane site sculpture at the Get Off the Grid Fest 2019
March 9, 2019 July 22, 2019 More Than Mudpies
The centerpiece for this year’s Get Off the Grid Fest represents a melding of two geographically and temporally diverse cultural expressions-each integrally bound up with the sun and its power. The Sun Watcher is the creation of Muscogee Creek elder Tom Bluewolf who draws his inspiration from a structure that is central to the legend and lore of his tribe, has put together a multi-directional sun dial of sorts that provides the viewer with a meditative space as well as a choice of 13 courses to pursue in quest of sustainability and personal dharma. Bluewolf himself has walked many paths in his life as a song weaver for his people, a ceremonial leader, tipi maker, a minister to native-American prison inmates, the creator of the successful Earthkeepers medicinal product company and a citizen of the world who has been active in ecological issues on five continents. Inscribed within this site is the Peace Crane, the work of metal craftsman Charlie Smith whose work has been in festivals from the burning western deserts to the lush sub-tropical shores of south Florida. The sculptor takes his theme from the contemporary legend of Sadako a Japanese girl who survived the bombing of Hiroshima only to succumb at age 11 to leukemia contracted as a result of exposure to atomic radiation. Her struggle for life was embodied in her folding of hundreds of paper cranes that form the model for the sculpture. The opening day of the Get Off the Grid Fest, August 9th, marks the 74th anniversary of the bombing of Nagasaki and a time when schoolchildren all over Japan fold peace cranes in honor of Sadako and in hopes for an end to the devastation of atomic power and weapons. We see in this sculpture reflected both the tremendous destructive power of the sun as well as its benefits as a source of life and energy for the planet and its people.
With the aid of visual artist, Richard Hicks, Visibleman in generating images of this work the artists have sited this piece to form a Zia, a four-part compass of sorts whereby the beak of the crane rises up to cast a shadow towards one of the 13 poles of the Sun Watcher representing various icons of renewable energy and sustainability such as solar power and bicycle transportation. The wings of the crane not only create shade for festival-goers during the day but also collect solar energy in photo-voltaic cells and store this power which then lights up the sculpture at night as well as illuminating pathways that represent sustainable vectors and lead away to the four corners of the festival itself.
The piece will be unveiled in an inaugural ceremony on Friday afternoon at 5pm led by one of the festivals sponsoring organizations, Nuclear Watch South that has been dedicated to the propagation of safe energy throughout the South for the past 20 years. The invocation will feature poetry, music, a dance performance based on the story of Sadako created by movement artist Jacquelyn Howard and will culminate with a procession throughout the festival that will mark the start of the event.

The 10 Best Wireless Headphones for TV of 2021 – Reviews & Buyer’s Guide
Clear dialogues and no more disturbing other people in the room.

Facebook Twitter Reddit Share via Email
Imagine this. You’re all set to view your favorite show on your brand new, state of the art fancy TV but you want to watch it using headphones. What headphones do you use?
It wouldn’t make sense to use a $10 pair of headphones with your expensive TV, right?
You’d need truly great quality wireless headphones for your TV in order to really enjoy the viewing experience!
In this article, we’ve rounded up and reviewed the best Wireless headphones for TV. The headphones included on this list come from top audio contenders such as Sennheiser, Sony, Bose, and a few other new brands on the scene.
All the TV headphones mentioned here have been thoroughly reviewed and are a safe bet. You’ll find the pros and cons listed for each of them allowing you to choose the best for yourself.
Who needs wireless headphones for TV?
If you want to enjoy watching TV without disturbing others, or, if you just want to hear the dialogues and sounds better, then you should get a pair of wireless TV headphones.
The experience of watching TV with headphones is a lot better as compared to sound directly coming out of the TV speakers.
The sound from headphones feels quite detailed, dialogues are much clear, and you also get some bass along with it.
If your whole family wants to enjoy the TV together on headphones, then that is possible too.
Some of the transmitters come with multi-connectivity options, which means you can connect multiple headphones to them at once.
For people who have hearing problems, there are aided TV headphones specially built for such users.
How we picked and tested?
After testing so many headphones, it has usually become a piece of cake for us.
We have tested and published reviews for wireless headphones, studio headphones, workout headphones, over-ear headphones, and several other types of headphones on this site.
But this time things were a little bit different.
This time, we were dealing with TV headphones.
And most of them were RF, not Bluetooth headphones that we usually test.
Firstly we spent a few days testing RF technology in general and then comparing it with Bluetooth technology.
Then we started looking for the most popular TV headphones on the market.
As usual, we read reviews on other consumer websites, and also customer reviews on websites like Amazon and eBay, and ended up considering 18 Wireless TV headphones.
We reviewed all of those 18 headphones thoroughly and featured the 10 best wireless headphones for TV out of them over here.
8 out of 10 featured headphones over here run on RF technology, while 2 of them run on Bluetooth technology.
We thoroughly reviewed all the TV headphones on these points:
Connectivity Range: Connectivity range needed our special attention because the distance between TV headphones and TV is much greater than the distance between wireless headphones and mobile phones that we usually use.
So we made sure that every pair of headphones has a high connectivity range and not a standard range of 33 feet.
Most of the headphones on our list have an average connectivity range of 300 feet.
Comfort: While testing any type of headphones, we keep the comfort on the top of our priority list.
It doesn’t matter how good a headphone sounds if it’s not comfortable, it’s useless.
We made sure that all the headphones have an ample amount of soft padding on the headband and earcups so that the users don’t feel any discomfort while wearing them.
Transmission: Transmission is referred to as transferring audio signals from Transmitter to the headphones.
The transmission should be smooth, and should not be affected by any obstructions.
We tried testing all the headphones by bringing in obstruction in between, going into other rooms to see if walls could affect the transmission.
In the review sections, you can read the transmission quality of all headphones.
Audio Quality: We were not looking for very booming audio quality, just something that would make dialogues come to life.
We also made sure that the headphones have some kind of bass in them.
We also made sure that there is not much sound leakage from the headphones.

1. Sennheiser RS 120 – Best Overall TV Headphones
When it comes to TV headphones, Sennheiser is probably the best in the business. And the RS120 – from their entry-level series – is truly exceptional in every way.
Don’t let the price tag fool you either! Intense testing proves these TV headphones to be pretty darn good.
Low cost, powerful specifications, and great out of the box design – all of these excellent features have earned these headphones the first spot on this list.
We think these can be perfect for anyone looking for a budget-oriented pair of TV headphones.
Comes with a wireless transmitter which also acts as a wireless charging dock.
100 meters / 300 feet connectivity range.
Light Weight Radio Frequency.
Interference-free reception.
Open back on-ear design.
20 hours of battery range.
Our In-Depth Review:
These headphones certainly give you a bang for your buck in our opinion. Equipped with powerful features all that comes at an affordable price tag, makes them the best choice for customers.
In terms of build functionality, the right ear-cup slides out providing access to the battery area for the battery that comes with the headphones. That is the very first thing you need to do when you get them.
A total of 3 functions are present on the ear-cups themselves. On the left, you have them on and off switch, while on the right, you get two options: one to adjust the volume and the second one to tune in the transmission.
The sides of the headphones are adjustable with an ample amount of comfortable padding on top. The covering on the ear-cups is also very smooth and feels comfortable on the ears.
Though the headphones are comfortable, fitting is not really perfect. And, due to that, the headphones fall of the head with slight pressure. This happens because the cushion covering on the earcups is flat, that just rests on top of the ears and not stick to them.
The wireless technology is exceptionally great, and it truly offers you the connectivity of up to 300 feet. The battery installed does a great job providing a range of up to 20 hours of operation, which means you can easily expect it to last up to 2-3 days on a single charge assuming that you don’t spend more than 5 hours a day watching TV.
The charging mechanism for the headphones is pretty interesting. You just need to place the headphones on the top of the transmitter and it would start charging. When not charging or in use, you can use the transmitter as a docking station.
These are open-back headphones, a design that allows the sounds to pass freely and surrounding sounds are easily identifiable. While we can’t refer to it as ambient sound technology, it does create a good balance between external and internal sounds.
Above all, the headphones are very lightweight, barely allowing you to feel that you’ve got something on.
The Sennheiser RS120 also comes with a multi-connectivity option that allows users to connect up to 100 headphones (HDR 120) to the transmitter for simultaneous listening. Now, this is something that truly blows our minds. While there are indeed other headphones with a similar feature (most of the TV headphones from Sennheiser allow multiple connectivities), the option to connect up to 100 headphones is only presently offered by the RS120.
The transmitter that comes along with the Sennheiser RS120 is compatible with all devices that come with analog input. These include televisions, laptops, tablets, computers and cell phones with a standard 3.5mm jack or 6.5mm headphone sockets or RCA jacks. This implies that you can easily use these headphones with your mobile, laptop, and tablet.
Multiple headphones connectivity up to a total of 100 headphones.
Insane connectivity range of 300 meters.
Comfortable padding on both the band and ear-cups.
Detailed sound reproduction.
Flat cushion covering on earcups.
The RS120 can most certainly save you a few bucks if you decide to go for it. From battery life to connectivity range, to the exclusive multiple connectivity option, the RS120 makes it clear why it is the top contender on this list!

2. Sennheiser RS 175 - With Bass Boost Mode
Sennheiser RS175 headphones are another great addition to the RS series in the form of a closed-back over the ear, circumaural headphones with some brilliant features and great build quality.
If you are in the market for a pair of extraordinary or advanced headphones, these headphones come highly recommended by us.
The RS series is the premium line from Sennheiser that comes jam-packed with some really advanced features.
Each model in the RS series is quite different from each other and we ultimately chose this model because we believe it has the best combination of sound, performance, specifications, and cost.
Closed-back design.
Virtual Surround modes and bass boost option.
Digital and Analog output.
Transmitter supports simultaneous connections up to 2 pairs of headphones.
Cushion Pads on drivers and headbands.
Sennheiser started with the RS110 and went up higher both in terms of features and quality. At the end of the line, we do have the RS185 but we recommend the RS175 over them as we find the RS175 to be more superior when compared to the RS185 and the RS165 in terms of overall performance.
The RS series from Sennheiser is the best series of wireless TV headphones available, and the RS175 is a great addition to it.
With a high connectivity range on these TV headphones, you can easily enjoy your entertainment at a comfortable distance from the TV. Want to listen to music while lying in bed? Not a problem with the RS175 as you get 300 feet of connectivity range on them.
The headphones sport a few new options not present on the RS120 model mentioned above. With the RS175, you now have the options to change virtual surround modes and bass controls, with the dedicated buttons present on the driver itself allowing you to turn on the features when you need to.
They are multi-purpose headphones that can be used with any device having an analog output [Left, Right RCA or 3.55 audio port], which makes them super compatible with smartphones and tablets.
The design and build quality are top notches, with a focus on the comfort level being petty apparent. They come with cushion pads on both drivers and headbands for better comfort to ears. You also get an excellent battery life of 18 hours on this pair.
The design on the RS175 is closed back and over the ear, which ensures absolutely no sound leakage from the headphones, which is a plus when you’re surrounded by other people and do not want to disturb them. The over the ear design also works great for noise isolation, ensuring you are not bothered by external noises as well.
The headphones would come as treat to all the bass heads. Surround sound options don't make a lot of difference, but once you turn on the bass boost, you get a whole new audio experience.
Not just the bass, the overall audio experience is good too. The action scenes sound brilliant and dialogues come out very clear. This excellent audio quality is backed up by strong and innovative RF wireless technology.
Up to 100m of Connectivity/Delivery range.
Control buttons.
Superior comfort and sound quality.
Excellent bass response.
Audio sometimes cut out for a fraction of second.
The price tag on the RS175 is little on the higher end, but still it is a really good investment, considering the power-packed nature of the headphones. You can purchase them either as a solo pair or as a pack of 2 depending on your needs and preferences. The overall sound and bass performance on these is extraordinary and the ability to control the different audio modes through physical buttons is certainly another plus point.
3. Sennheiser RS 185 - Best Open Back TV headphones
Sennheiser’s RS 185 RF Wireless Headphone System provides an exceptional digital wireless audio transmission to its user.
Broadcasting up to a range of 30 meters, it avails the user a comfortable and enjoyable time listening to music or watching a movie without the intrusion of surrounding noise.
It’s the perfect headphone system for a noisy neighborhood and many more.
The headphone works on the same RF technology as any of the other RS headphones that make them compatible with all devices featuring Analog and RAC inputs.
Ergonomic design with ultra soft earmuffs.
Up to 2 headphones multi-connectivity from the same source.
Clear and Detailed Audio Reproduction.
Up to 328 feet of connectivity range.
24 hours battery range on a single charge.
An upgrade from the Sennheiser RS 165, the Sennheiser RS 185 RF Wireless Headphone System are comfortable and easy to use the headphones with a better audio quality compared to that of the Sennheiser RS 165.
They are slightly different in design from the Sennheiser 165 and comes with considerably more quality. But it would seem that the manufacturer Sennheiser has no intention of reducing the bulk and the noise intrusion.
On the plus side though, it has a reduced latency connection and still maintains its simple yet functional design (upgraded).
The Sennheiser RS 185 is indeed an upgrade from much older editions, especially in design. It comes with better ear paddings that are laced with soft material to give a cozy feeling to the sensitive ears.
With the difference in color tone, you can be sure to rid yourself of the monotonous choice of color used in the Sennheiser's other headphones. Its redesign further included shedding a bit of bulk.
Better ear paddings of the Sennheiser RS 185 allows for comfortable wearing and gives the ears enough room for breathing. The additional control buttons for Level and Balance control makes things all the more comfortable for the user; the liberty to make a bit of adjustment to the audio quality is not a luxury available in a number of other headphones.
With the introduction of new control buttons, the Sennheiser RS 185 offers the user better control compared to the Sennheiser RS 165. Although the new buttons offer limited control, it’s a worthy start nonetheless.
The Sennheiser RS 185 is actually open-back headphones. This poses the problem of noise intrusion much more than you’d be obliged to ignore. It would seem that the design to make things a bit lighter did not go so well in terms of shielding away the noise.
It is still relatively bulky and that causes ache. Although the Sennheiser RS 185 has been redesigned to shed a bit of weight, it is still bulky and as such weighs heavy on the ears. Coupled with its uneven distribution of pressure, there is bound to be earaches after prolonged use.
Analog and Digital Inputs.
Automatic audio level control.
Excellent and premium design along with great comfort quality.
Long Battery life of up to one whole day.
No Noise isolation because of the open back structure.
The Sennheiser RS 185 is a worthwhile upgrade and comes with a considerable number of perks. Its sound quality is still very much one of the best. Not many headphones in the market offer the amount of value a person would get from them. Watching movies and listening to music with this headphone indoors comes with ease, comfort, and low noise intrusion. It’s indeed a win.
4. Bose Sound Link 2 -Best Bluetooth Headphones For TV
Bose is synonymous with great sound quality and product build.
The Sound Link 2, while a little on the expensive side, is to put it plainly, perfect. Deep immersive sound, best in class EQ, and a neat design tick all the right checkboxes.
Use it with your TV or with your phone; the advanced Bluetooth technology makes it easy to use these headphones with all presently available music devices.
Bose has been a giant in the market for a very long time and is well known for producing excellent products such as headphones and speakers and while their products do tend to run on the more expensive side, comparing the quality to the cost makes for an agreeable investment that is absolutely worth it.
Very lightweight and comfortable.
Multi-device connectivity.
It comes with Tri-port technology and Active EQ.
It comes with convenient controls on the earcups.
The Bose Sound Link II simply cannot be compared with most of the other headphones on our list, since the base technology that these headphones run on is completely different from the other wireless TV headphones.
The Bose Sound Link II doesn't feature RF transmission and that is its plus point, allowing it easy connectivity to Smart TVs and other electronics that support Bluetooth.
Remember that these headphones could only be connected with TV's that have inbuilt Bluetooth or ones that have the Bluetooth transmitter installed. Please do not buy them if your TV doesn't have Bluetooth.
The Sound Link II features intense, immersive and improved EQ that all build-up to the best-in-class performance.
The headphones also come with the multi-connectivity option, which means you can connect the headphones to two different devices at the same time. Also, it is very easy to switch between multiple connected devices such as your phone and your TV.
The build quality of all Bose headphones is always top-notch and the Sound Link II is no exception. The body of the headphones is solid, the ear cushions are extremely soft and the headphones, overall, are very lightweight. The headphones are also designed with impact-resistant material for better durability.
The drivers on these headphones sport buttons that allow you to control volume, switch devices and play music on various Apple, Samsung and Android devices. There is also a connectivity icon and a small LED to monitor the battery percentage.
When it comes to the battery life of these headphones, while most Bluetooth headphones tend to have a battery life of between 10 - 13 hours, the Bose Sound Link has ventured ahead. You get an approximate battery life of around 2 hours on 15 minutes of charge and 15 hours of playback time on 3 hours of full charge.
Now let's talk about the most important thing, the sound quality. If you’ve ever used Bose headphones in the past then you’ve certainly got great expectations. The sound quality on the Sound Link II is pretty much perfect in every aspect.
Though the sound quality the awesome, the bass is not that great. You can try to customize it with the EQ but it would still not get to that awesome level.
Unsurpassed Crisp Sound.
Convenient Physical controls over drivers for seamless switching of devices.
It also comes with NFC.
Extremely comfortable and one of the lightest headphones in the market.
Bass is not great.
The connectivity range is less for TVs in some cases.
While the pricing on this headphone is a bit higher than average, coming from a leading brand, it is certainly justifiable. The headphones are packed with amazing, robust features including great bass and the best in the class equalizer. If you’re on the lookout for a multi-purpose pair of headphones to use with your TV as well as other Bluetooth enabled devices, then these would be an excellent choice.
5. Sony MDRRF985RK - With Noise Reduction Technology
Sony has been on the market for a very long time and needless to say, it is one of the most trusted brands when it comes to audio devices. Whether it is headphones, speakers or music systems on smartphones, the quality is always excellent.
Today we are reviewing the great MDRRF985RK, which is one of the best and most cost-effective wireless headphones for TV from Sony.
For a lot of people, these might be the best TV headphones while for others it may not be quite the right choice. With that said, let's dive right into the specifications.
40mm drivers.
Equipped with noise reduction technology.
Cushion padded headband for extreme comfort.
High connectivity range up to 150 feet.
An unlimited number of headphones connectivity with one base/receiver.
Beautiful Matte finish design.
Equipped with standard 40mm drivers, the headphones may feel a little bulky to some users although it must be kept in mind that the large drivers favor the noise reduction technology that comes along with the headphones. The more the ears are covered, the better the effect of the noise reduction technology.
If noise reduction is your utmost priority, then these wireless TV headphones would work great, but if you‘re looking for all-round perfection, you might come away from a little disappointed.
The build quality on the headphones is certainly not the best around although the matte black finish does give them a great look. However, looking at the price tag, this single minor issue can be easy to overlook.
The headphones offer up an excellent connectivity range of 50m/150feet, with zero interference issues. Setting it up with any TV or FM radio is dead easy, plus the 900 MHz frequency offers up great clarity and quality of sound. It really is quite difficult to have anything negative to say about that aspect.
If you’ve had trouble with battery life on your previous headphones, it most certainly is not going to be an issue here as the average battery life on these is about 24 hours, which is pretty great.
Now, while the build quality on the outside might not be the best, the comfort level, however, on the inside of these earphones is quite good. The cushion covering and padding on the ear-cups is soft and feels very comfortable.
Moving onto controls, you get various physical controls on the bottom of both the drivers. There is an on and off switch and on the right driver and tuning and volume controls on the left.
The good thing about the volume controller is that it also comes with fixed different levels from 1 to 10, so In case you have some preferred volume level you can set that up right away.
And finally, last but most certainly not least, the sound quality is excellent. The bass is great and is clearly felt while watching movies, especially if an action scene kicks in.
Expressive sound system and bass quality.
Automatic tuning for the optimum signal reception.
Superior Noise Reduction technology.
Excellent battery life of up to 25 hours on a single charge.
Could be a little bit bulky for a few users.
Not the best overall build quality.
These headphones are one of the lowest-priced wireless TV headphones from Sony and perform really well in all the technical aspects. So if you’re on the hunt for a pair that doesn’t compromise in terms of features and would also like to stay under your budget, then there would be a great deal for you with the amazing sound quality and great battery life.
6. Sennheiser SET840 - Best In-Ear TV Headphones
The Sennheiser SET820 TV headphones are a little bit different from what we have seen so far in the RS series from Sennheiser, the major difference being these are in-ear headphones.
The headphones are ideally built for Home listening and can only be connected to RAC points with the help of an RF transmitter that comes with them.
Ergonomic controls and the quick visual response of operations makes this pair easy to use.
The devices that are compatible with these headphones are TV, Hi-Fi system or Radio.
Now let's have a look at all the specifications of the SET840:
RF wireless technology .
Connectivity range up to 100 feet.
The uninterrupted wireless connection even through walls.
Three selectable hearing settings.
Ergonomic controls and Visual Feedback.
Since these headsets are slightly different from the RS series, we think a brief introduction is in order. Straight out of the box, you get a pair of headphones and a base. The battery on the headset is removable and is expected to last at least 9 hours.
Since they are in-ear headphones, the design is obviously quite different from the other headphones. You get a small transmitter/charging dock and two hard wired earbuds attached to a receiver. The body is not heavy and would cause strain.
The battery can be charged by placing the headphone on the base. If you suspect you will be using the headphones for long hours or if they are to be shared, you can always purchase another battery to keep charged as a spare. This way, you’ll rarely find yourself with a dead headset.
The headphones come with an easy to understand user manual, which will help you hook up the headphones to your TV accurately.
The connectivity, as expected, is excellent and the headphones offer a connectivity range of up to 100 feet, while the battery range is up to 9 hours on a single charge.
Being in-ear headphones does make a very big impact on the overall weight and build of the headphones making them very comfortable to wear.
The in-ear design also makes a big difference when it comes to the audio experience. Unlike over-ear and on-ear headphones, these are fitted inside the ear, which leaves no room for an audio interception, and so no disturbance to surrounding people. Also, these can be ideal headphones for impaired people.
The one thing that we didn't like about the SET840 TV headset is the battery range. The average battery range on a single charge is 9hrs, which isn’t the worst but is far from amazing with other TV headphones lasting up to 15-18 hours. However, if you are just a casual listener, then this shouldn’t pose an issue since it can last up to 3 days with casual use.
In-ear design with great isolation.
Comfortable and Lightweight.
Optimizes speech for better hearing.
Robust wireless connection.
Average Battery range.
The SET840 are completely different from the RS Series or any other TV headphones in terms of design. They are in-ear lightweight headphones that offer up excellent features such as a high connectivity range, and ergonomic controls. The sound quality produced is amazing with absolutely no negative connotations in that aspect.
7. Avantree Headphones – With Bluetooth Transmitter
If a high name brand is not an absolute must and you’re willing to trade name brand for amazing features, then these just might the headphones for you.
These headphones from Avantree are by far the best Bluetooth headphones for the TV that you will find under the low mid-budget segment.
This claim does not arise simply due to the low price tag or simply great sound quality, instead, our conclusion is backed up by several other pointers which we are going to list below.
These headphones from Avantree don't work on RF technology, instead, they work on Bluetooth technology.
This is great for TVs with built-in Bluetooth capability but what happens when your TV does not support Bluetooth? No worries! These headphones come with an Avantree transmitter that when plugged into a TV, converts that TV into a Bluetooth integrated device and creates a seamless wireless connection between the TV and the Avantree TV headphones.
Bluetooth transmitter.
Ideal for devices with Analog output e.g. a TV with RAC output.
Zero sync delay.
Bluetooth range: 100 feet.
Insane battery life up to 40 hours.
A few days ago, we did a roundup for the Best Wireless Headphones and the top contender was a pair of headphones from Avantree.
Apart from the great sound quality, amazing wireless connectivity range, and other fantastic features, what really sold it and allowed it to gain the number one position was the insane battery life that it sported.
Now the Avantree wireless TV headphones come with a battery range of approx 40 hours, which is absolutely insane and we can personally say that we’ve never seen that range in any other pair of headphones, be it TV headphones or normal wireless headphones.
Now, while we won’t go quite as far as to say that the Bluetooth transmitter headphones are better than the traditional RF headphones for TV - RF headphones are the best technology you could ever have in any TV headphones, period! - but still, Bluetooth as a technology for TV headphones is pretty great. Especially on these headphones.
Have you ever seen any Bluetooth headphones with a connectivity range of 100 feet? Well, we’ve got one for you right here. The Avantree TV headphones, despite running on wireless Bluetooth technology, has a connectivity range of up to 100 feet.
The sound quality is amazing and the ear-cups are decently big enough to cover all sizes of ears comfortably. Also, since it runs on Bluetooth, you can create a direct connection to your cell phone, tablet or laptop.
Another great thing about these headphones is that in case the battery is dead and you still want to use them, you do have the option to use it with the 3.55mm audio cable that comes with it.
The high connectivity of up to 100 feet.
No Audio Lag.
Perfect for TV, Cell phones or any other device.
Ideal TV headphones for gamers.
Do not think twice about getting these if you’re looking for a solid pair of headphones that not only work with the TV but also with other devices andcomes at a low budget! These wireless headphones from Avantree are absolute beasts and have all the essentials of a great set of headphones. The 40 hour battery life is something that cannot be found in any other TV headphones.
As is apparent from this list, Sennheiser is by far the most popular brand when it comes to wireless TV headphones and it is absolutely ruling the market when it comes down to RF technology.
Sennheiser’s RS 165 serves as one of the best digital wireless headphone systems in the market. It is ideal for tuning out surrounding noise whilst watching a movie or listening to music.
Coupled with its comfy design, it fits perfectly with the ears such that you get to really focus and enjoy what you’re watching or listening to.
Overall, these are the most power-packed TV wireless headphones by Sennheiser which we believe is definitely worth your time.
Dynamic bass performance.
Soft memory cushion on-ear cups and headband.
Included dock with the easy-charge cradle.
Supports TV and other HiFi Audio devices like Home theatre system.
The Sennheiser RS 165 serves well as a home theatre headphone with a nice surround quality. With a transmitter stand that connects smoothly with the headphone within a 30 meters range, you are guaranteed to have no statics or breaks.
That means you get to listen to music or hear the audio output of a movie without interruption. But, it’s not all rosy for the RS 165. As uninterrupted as it may seem, it does not entirely cut out surround noise (especially the louder ones).
The transmitter stands which serves as a charging station further serves to improve its style. The Sound Quality of this particular headphone provides a good deal of bass, an exceptional midrange, and a great treble. Talk about qualitative for a little studio or indoor use.
Although having a seemingly simple design and some worth cheap-looking ear muffs, the Sennheiser RS 165 does not clamp down on the ears, making them feel stuck. Rather, the simple design allows for ease in using and comfort in putting on. Your ears are guaranteed a bit of space with this headphone.
Although it is simplistic in style, you might get that slight distaste at its cheap look. The ear paddings, in particular, do not come off as stylish. And for such a price, it definitely needs a redesign to stand it out amongst other brands of headphone systems.
Speaking of complaints, there is the issue of ache to the ears. After long use of the Sennheiser RS 165 Headphone System, users might experience an ache below the ear lobes. This is as a result of the bulkiness of the headphone which weighs down on the ears over time.
Comfortable earmuffs and head padding.
Excellent Bass Response
Multi-use charging cradle.
Excellent battery range of 18 hours.
Slightly heavy for continuous long usage.
The Sennheiser RS 165 is a decent headphone that will give you a nice time indoors. Any use outside the cozy confines of your house or room might result in a lot of noise intrusion (not to mention the need for a bag to carry it around in). If you’re a person who is concerned about flaunting the latest of gadgets, this might come off as looking cheap and too simple. Overall, it will serve well in terms of audio quality, runtime, and durability.
9. TV Ears Wireless Headphones System - With 2X Maximum Volume
According to the company TV Ears, these headphones are recommended by Doctors and have helped millions of people hear better audio quality without any complaints of loud volume or the need to buy any type of hearing aids.
These headphones are very similar to the one from Simolio, despite the fact that they run on a different technology.
With that said, let's have a look at all the features of these headphones.
Ultra-lightweight TV headsets.
Exclusive Speed of Light Infrared Technology.
Excellent mute function.
Twice the maximum volume as compared to other headsets.
4-6 hours of battery range.
The TV Ears Original Wireless headphones are a solid pair of headphones with exclusive technology build especially keeping hearing impaired people in mind.
Headphones from TV Ears come with their proprietary voice clarifying circuitry that automatically balances the audio curve to enhance the quality of television audio and decrease the volume of all background sounds such as music. This allows words and speech to stand out, making even quiet whispers audible.
TV Ears headphones use SoLIT (Speed of light infrared technology) to send audio over to the headphones from transmitters, which is comparably faster than both Bluetooth and RF technology.
With tech like dialogue sound enhancement, TV Ears headphones have twice the power when compared to other headphones, which results in twice the maximum volume.
The design of the headphones is the same as the Sennheiser Set840. Two wired earbuds attached to the receiver, that has a volume rotatory adjuster and a tone adjuster. The earbuds come with background noises reducing foam that makes the audio feel even louder.
Although they are ultra-lightweight, they are not the most comfortable pair of headphones around. Also, the battery range on them could have been better.
Since they are in-ear headphones, the fit is perfect. It creates a good seal in the ears creating good noise isolation. The audio feels detailed and the dialogues pop up quite well.
The connectivity for these headphones is similar to any other RF headphones. You just need to connect the red and white cables of the transmitter to RCA audio output and start using them. You also get a 3.55mm audio output connection.
Ideally, build of hearing-impaired people.
Functionality to mute a TV.
2X maximum volume.
Advanced Dialogue enhancement technology.
Not the most comfortable build.
Short Battery range.
We would probably only suggest these headphones if you are buying them for someone who is hearing impaired. They are specially built for people who have a problem with hearing and works just fine for that cause. Apart from this, they do not sport any special or unique features and there’s not much else to talk about. If you do not face hearing issues, then it wouldn’t make much sense to get these headphones.
10. Simolio Wireless TV Headsets - For Hearing Impaired People
Next up are the wireless headsets from Simolio.
Though not a very popular pair among customers, they are really a good choice for audio; something that is an absolute value for money.
The headsets from Simolio work on quite a different technology as compared to other headphones/headsets, and as stated by the manufacturer, this technology is better than the normal RS, and 2.4 GHz technology.
The technology integrated into these Simolio headsets is referred to as 2.4 GHz digital FHSS (Frequency hopping spread spectrum), and is completely free of any kind of interruption, providing great connectivity range.
Interruption-free connectivity range up to 100 feet.
Auto signal control to balance sudden spikes in volume.
Mono/Stereo Option.
It comes with built-in-mic to amplify conversations with people nearby.
Up to 7 hours of battery range.
These headphones from Simolio have got so much going on for them! They combine great audio quality and advanced audio balance with excellent connectivity range making for a pair of headphones with barely any negatives to talk about.
The headphones are ideally built for users who have hearing problems. These would be especially very helpful for the senior citizens who usually have a hearing problem. The headphones produce louder sound as compared to any other normal headphones, which is why hearing-impaired users find them helpful.
The Simolio TV headphones are compatible with any device that comes with analog RCA Audio Outputs.
Again, talking about the latest 2.GHz Digital FHSS technology, these headphones produce excellent sound, don't need any frequency modulation to avoid noises, face no audio-sync delay or audio interruption, etc.
Sudden loud sounds or jerks on the screen can lead to annoying and painful hits of sound to the ears. With the Simolio TV headphones, you don't have to worry about that at all as it comes with an auto signal control which automatically balances the sound whenever there is a sudden kind of bump.
The battery, when compared to other TV headphones, is not the greatest and lasts only for 7 hours, but the good thing about these is that they come with an auto power-off feature that turns off the headphones if they are idle for 3 minutes.
The headphones come with features to switch the wireless headphones to a personal sound amplifier by pressing the mic button which would temporarily help hearing-impaired people to hear other people while watching TV. You can press the mic again to switch back to the TV.
Auto turns off when ideal for 3 minutes.
Perfect for hearing impaired users.
The auto sound balance system.
The headphones are pretty good in terms of sound quality and with the new connectivity technology, you will get interruption free connectivity. Though the battery life is quite low when compared to other TV headphones, considering the price you pay, they are a pretty good choice.
Wireless Headphones for TV - Buyer's Guide
What are wireless TV Headphones?
Wireless TV Headphones are not a whole lot different when compared to other wireless headphones, they just run on a different sort of technology.
TV headphones come with an analog RF transmitter that needs to be connected to the TV before you can enjoy listening to them.
However, you do get TV headphones that use Bluetooth and are super easy to connect and usually come at a lower price.
However, Bluetooth headphones have their own share of drawbacks due to the lower frequency range that results in the breakdown of sounds at intervals whereas transmitter based headphones have an average range of 100 meters.
Wireless Vs Wired: Which Type of Headphones are Better?
Except for the obvious difference that is the cable, there are several other differences between them.
Although ultimately, it depends on your needs, we are going to list all the major differences below for your consideration.
In general, we believe that when it comes to buying headphones for TV, it doesn’t make a lot of sense to get the wired kind.
The TV is usually enjoyed from a distance thus making a wired headphone pretty annoying to deal with.
From what we have observed so far, wired headphones in most cases are better than wireless ones in terms of sound quality.
The differences though are tiny and only a true audio aficionado would be able to pick out on those differences. Layman users would not particularly notice them.
Back in the day, there was definitely a more discernible difference between wired and wireless headphones, but thanks to big brands like Sennheiser and Sony, there is hardly any difference in sound quality now.
Furthermore, in some cases, you will find that wireless headphones are better than the wired ones.
It's obvious that wired headphones don't need a battery to work, which means you can use them for as much time as you want, whenever and wherever.
Wireless headphones, on the other hand, require a battery that needs to be charged at regular intervals.
But, keep in mind, most wireless headphones today come with a battery life of approx. 12-20 hours making them an excellent choice for daily use.
Now, this is something a lot of people can agree upon.
Wireless headphones surely are more expensive than the wired kind.
A pair of good wired headphones can be bought for under $100, while a pair of good wireless headphones would cost you around $150 - $200 and even more than that in some cases.
On-Ear V/S Over-Ear Headphones
Sound experience on both over-ear and on-ear is quite different.
The sound on the on-ear headphones feels less loud as compared to over-ear headphones.
The main advantage over-ear headphones have over on-ear headphones is the presence of noise isolation. The over-ear cups create a good seal between the cushion and your ears, preventing the external noises to enter and overall getting a better audio experience.
But, over-ear headphones have some disadvantages too.
Since the over-ear headphones create a tight seal, your ears might get warm after some time. There could be some sweating as well.
On-ear headphones on the other hand simply rest on your ears putting no kind of pressure.
Choosing one of the others is a personal preference.
There is no doubt that over-ear TV headphones provide an overall better sound experience, but that with few headphones comes at a price of slight heating.
In-Ear TV Headphones
In-ear design on TV headphones is very rare.
The In-ear design is common for hearing aided headphones, but for normal headphones, you would not see that very often.
The only normal In-ear Tv headphones on our list are Sennheiser Set 840.
We have always said that in-ear headphones sound better than over-ear and on-ear headphones. They provide a good seal in-ears, which results in decent noise isolation.
In-ear TV headphones are also good if you don't want to feel any type of weight on your head.
Open Back or Closed Back
Open-back headphones are the ones where on the earcups there is an opening in the form of a grill, while on closed-back headphones the earcups are completely sealed.
We can not say that one is better than the other. Both types have their own advantages and disadvantages.
Open-back headphones are mainly preferred by music professionals as they serve good as studio headphones.
Open-back headphones allow the air to pass through them, there aren't little echoes inside them, which makes them feel sound more natural and clear.
But that also means that ambient noise reduction is none.
So if you planning to get a pair of open-back headphones and use them in an outer environment that is noisy, drop off that idea.
Instead, get a pair of closed-back headphones.
Closed-back headphones are much louder and create good noise isolation as compared to open back.
In the case of TV headphones, there are only a few open-back headphones available.
Different Types of Wireless Headphones for TV
In general, when it comes to wireless headphones, Bluetooth technology is most commonly used. But, things are different in case of wireless headphones specifically built for TV.
The Most popular and best TV headphones use RF technology for connectivity and that's because with RF there is no interference issue, you get a long connectivity range and with some TV headphones, the RF signals easily pass through the walls.
RF Technology vs Bluetooth Technology
Talking about the comparison, the first thing that comes to our mind is the connectivity range.
RF headphones are far ahead of Bluetooth headphones in terms of connectivity range.
A Bluetooth headphone usually comes with a connectivity range of 33 feet, while the RF headphones come with a connectivity range of 300 feet.
But Bluetooth connectivity is more secure.
Bluetooth for connectivity uses radio signals that are 1000 times stronger than signals used by mobile phones. There is no interference and no one can listen in.
In terms of connectivity strength, RF headphones are better than Bluetooth headphones. They easily hold connection through walls and other obstructions.
Sennheiser Kleer Technology
One of the biggest issues that wireless headphones encounter is transmittance with other wireless devices at 2.4GHZ. Luckily Sennheiser has come with a fantastic solution to this with its Kleer technology. The technology not only allows automatic pairing but also allows multiple connections of wireless headphones [up to 4 devices] to the same base station, so, for example, a family of 4 can enjoy the same TV show together.
How to connect your Wireless TV headphones to your TV?
The connectivity process totally depends on the type of TV you are having, and also the type of headphones you are having.
If you have a smart TV with Bluetooth enabled then you will be able to quickly connect your Bluetooth headphones with it and to use the RF headphones with it, you would have to follow the installation process added below.
If you don't have a Bluetooth enabled TV, you can still use the Bluetooth headphones with it by installing the Bluetooth module. The process of installing Rf headphones on such TV's would be the same as Smart TVs.
Process of installing RF Headphones
The process of installing RF headphones could be a little more complicated.
RF headphones come with their own separate transmitter which needs to be connected to the TV for everything to work fine.
The transmitter also works as a charging station for the headphones.
To connect the headphones to your TV, you have to first plug in the audio cables coming out of the transmitter into TV audio outputs ( Red and white audio output jacks ) that are usually found on the back of the TV.
Then you would have to plug in the transmitter into a power source. Once the power is supplied and the audio cables are connected properly, you will see some kind of indication of the transmitter.
Remember, your TV might have different colored audio output jacks and you might need to do some experiment over there.
Your ultimate goal is to see if the transmitter is indicating some kind of audio source connectivity. If it does, then the only thing you have to do is turn on your headphones and start enjoying your Favourite TV series without bothering anyone else.
Features to be Considered while buying Wireless Headphones for TV:
Before you buy a pair of wireless TV headphones, you need to take a few points into consideration.
In order to get the most out of your investment, the headphones should fulfill all of your needs.
Below, you get to see some of the most important points which should be considered -
ConnectivitySound QualityBattery RangeComfortSound Leakage
We don't recommend using normal Bluetooth headphones with TV.
Most wireless headphones for TV that come with base stations work on RF technology rather than infrared or Bluetooth.
The reason being RF offers a better connectivity range.
Most of the RF headphones mentioned on our list do have a connectivity range up to 100 meters or 300 feet making them the best option to go with.
Some of the Bluetooth headphones do come with up to 100 feet of battery range. Avantree TV headphones on our list are a good example of this.
With wireless technology, audio interference is a very common issue that leads to sound cuts and similar audio issues.
Some headphones may have a better connection when compared to others.
Some headphones are louder but not loud enough to block surrounding sounds and that's why we recommend reading carefully precisely through their review before you decide on a headset.
The sound is affected by a lot of factors including the distance of headphones from the receiver and any solid structure in between.
The presence of any solid structure between your headphones and the transmitter would affect the audio performance in some way. A good pair of headphones would show the least effect in this case.
When going for a pair of headphones, make sure that the headphones are loud enough for your use, have some kind of bass in them, and sound natural.
If you are looking to buy headphones for a hearing-impaired person then make sure you are buying wireless TV headphones ideally built for that purpose.
Battery life is an important issue for any wireless device.
Higher quality headphones provide 20 or more hours of wireless listening and these are the headphones we would generally recommend.
Luckily, on our list, most of the recommended TV headphones do come with a battery life of more than 20 hours and a few with a battery life of 15 hours+ which is a great backup time for any TV headphones.
And if the headphones support quick charging, then that would be even better.
Comfort is an important deciding factor for any type of headphones.
You do generally wear your headphones for no less than 30 minutes at a time and if they aren’t soft and cushy and/or if they are heavy then it would lead to an unpleasant experience.
There are a lot of things that decide the overall comfort level of headphones.
How tight is the headband?
Is it suitable for large heads?
Is the headband comfortable?
Are the earcups soft?
These are questions you need to ask and research before buying a pair of headphones.
Make sure the size of the headband is large enough to fit your head. If you have a large head, you need to take extra precautions on this.
Usually, the best bet is to go with the headphones that have an adjustable headband.
Other things that could cause discomfort are the cushion padding on the earcups. Most of the headphones come with memory foam covering that feels very soft and comfortable.
Some headphones also come with protein earpads, which are slightly better than the memory cushions.
Latency is the name given to the sound synchronization issue on wireless headphones.
The short delay between the time audio is transmitted and reaches your headphones is called latency.
Sometime you would have been in a situation where audio and video don't synchronize with each other, that is the issue about which we are talking here.
The degree of latency depends on your headphones. Better the hardware and software of the headphones, low would be the latency.
The aptX technology present in some of the Bluetooth headphones helps in reducing latency to a large extent. If you are going to get a pair of Bluetooth TV headphones, try to get ones that come with aptX or aptX HD technology.
It is not important for the TV headphones to have Noise cancelation since they are meant to be used in rooms and offices.
But, there must not be any sound leakage.
Sound leakage from headphones could cause disturbance among all other people in the area.
if you want to enjoy your favorite movie without disturbing others, make sure the headphones you are choosing leak very little to no sound.
Can I use my RF headphones with Mobile phone & Laptops?
RF headphones could not be used with Mobile phones and laptops since those devices do not have RCA outputs.
The transmitter/dock station of RF headphones could only be connected to the devices that offer RCA outputs. For example, TV, home theater system, etc.
If you are looking to get a pair of headphones that would work with both Mobile phones and TV, then we would recommend you to checkout Avantree TV headphones on our list.
Avantree TV headphones run on Bluetooth and come with a transmitter for TV connectivity. This makes them compatible with all the devices.
Wireless TV Headphones for Hearing Impaired users
If you have any hearing problems, you must go for a pair of TV headphones that are specifically built for users with hearing difficulties.
The two of such headphones that are mentioned on our list are TV Ears headphones and Simolio headset.
These headphones are actually really helpful for people with hearing difficulties.
They provide clear voice, precise bass, and treble, and put extra emphasis on the dialogues.
The noise-canceling and voice clarifying technology reduces the TV background sound and make the dialogues stand out.
The installation for the aided headphones is no different than other TV headphones. You just plugin in the transmitter into the TV, and start using the headphones right away.
Some FAQ'S regarding Wireless Headphones for TV
Do Wireless Headphones work with Smart TV?
Since smart TV's have Bluetooth connectivity option, you can connect your wireless headphones to them. Other than that, you can also connect RF headphones to them by connecting the transmitter through RCA outputs.
Can I add Bluetooth to my TV?
Yes, you can add Bluetooth to your Normal TV. There are a lot of Bluetooth transmitters available in the market that can add Bluetooth connectivity to any TV. A good example of this would be the Avantree transmitter. You just have to connect the Bluetooth transmitter to your TV through RCA outputs, and then you would be able to connect any Bluetooth headphones to them.
Is RF better than Bluetooth?
RF is better than Bluetooth in few aspects. First of all, RF headphones provide an average connectivity range of 300 feet as compared to 33 feet in Bluetooth headphones. Signals from RF headphones are quite stronger as compared to Bluetooth headphones. RF headphones also sound better as compared to Bluetooth headphones when used with the TV.
How do I connect my Wired Headphones to TV?
First of all, until and unless you have a 6m cord, we don't recommend using wired headphones with TV. As you would be too close to the TV, and that could affect your eyes. Secondly, connecting wired headphones with TV is very uncommon. Not a lot of TV's have ports/jacks for wired headphones for connectivity. But if your TV has it, then the process would be as same as you do with your mobile phone. Just plug and play.
Can I connect wireless headphones to my Samsung TV?
Samsung has been producing smart TV for quite a time now. And all those smart TVs generally come with Bluetooth pre-installed in them, which means you easily connect your existing Bluetooth headphones with them. And if you want to use RF headphones with your Samsung TV then that shouldn't be a problem too. Both the new and old Samsung TVs come with RCA output that is used for connecting the RF headphones.
Are Wireless TV headphones noise canceling ones?
You can buy some high end noise-canceling wireless headphones, connect it to your Smart TV via Bluetooth, and experience the sound with ANC. But if you are trying to get noise cancelation on RF headphones, then you could be disappointed with that. We haven't come across any RF headphones that have active noise cancelation technology built-in. We also think that there is no need for the TV headphones to have noise cancelation since they are built for indoor use.
Do I have to sit close to the TV to get the best sound quality?
With standard Bluetooth headphones you might have to sit close to TV since they usually have a connectivity range of 10feet. RF headphones, on the other hand, have connectivity of around 300 feet, which gives you a lot of freedom to move around without any connection break.
These were the reviews for the 10 best wireless headphones according to us in 2021.
If you don't want to spend much then Sennheiser RS 120 would be your best bet.
They are not just affordable, but also one of the most popular TV headphones in the market.
Sennheiser RS 175 is the best RF headphones in the high-budget range.
If you are looking to get Bluetooth TV headphones, then Bose Sound Link 2 would be your best bet.
And if you are looking for TV headphones ideally made for hearing impaired people, then Simolio headset are the headphones you should be looking at.

Angry Video Game Nerd 1 & 2 Deluxe Review (Switch eShop)
Captured on Nintendo Switch (Handheld/Undocked)
There’s a reason that James Rolfe’s Angry Video Game Nerd character has outlasted and out-performed so many imitators – the veneer of showmanship and the pantomimed, goofy, insincere anger are worlds apart from the genuine venom spewed by those he seems to have influenced. The Nerd isn’t a dangerous, hateful entity – he’s funny, he’s silly, because James understands that it’s absurd to get mad about video games.
With such popularity and longevity, it was inevitable that The Nerd would see a videogame outing of his own, and Freakzone’s Angry Video Game Nerd Adventures hit Wii U and 3DS in 2013 to a decent reception. An accomplished, confident quasi-masocore platformer, it was a short but sweet piece of AVGN fanservice with solid level design and a nice line in hidden content. Still, it was a surprise when sequel Angry Video Game Nerd 2: ASSimilation hit PC exclusively in 2016. Much improved from the original, we felt it was a shame that this superior follow-up never hit consoles – until now.
So here we have Angry Video Game Nerd 1 & 2 Deluxe, containing both games with a host of upgrades and extras. Most prominently, the original game has been massively overhauled with the far better graphical style of its sequel – the colours look superbly vivid – and copious improvements to the level design.
We can’t stress this enough; it’s so much better here, it’s like a totally different game in places. The continuous appearance of “death blocks” – disappearing and reappearing obstacles that instantly killed you – has been swept aside, 99 percent of them replaced by spikey balls that merely do damage. This reduces the challenge, yes, but in a meaningful way that simply makes AVGN Adventures better. There are also new secrets and some superb overhauled music. We let the game sit on the level selection screen just to listen to the excellent remix of the AVGN theme.
Sequel ASSimilation, then, is new to Nintendo fans, and it’s a welcome sight. There’s just one problem – it’s no longer better than the original! While ASSimilaton is very good (and has also seen tweaks from its original form), the improvements to the first game render it, in our opinion, a superior experience. It’s a bit of an odd situation to be in, but it’s best to look at AVGN 2 as an example of sequel escalation in every way. Much harder, it adds a clutch of new mechanics such as Mega Man X-style wall-jumping, and similarly-inspired unlockable upgrades (based on NES accessories such as the Power Glove) that grant The Nerd new powers; use of these abilities evens the odds a little, but the game still wants you dead with stages full of instant-death traps like the beams in Area 51, or the aforementioned “Death Blocks” appearing out of nowhere in the Monster Madness-inspired stage.
Despite this difficulty, the bite-sized stages don’t outstay their welcome, and checkpoints are placed liberally. It’s tough, and can be frustrating (have stages with limited visibility EVER been fun?), but it’s very compulsive – you’ll often die within sight of the next marker, driving you to succeed. There are numerous difficulty options, too, and the lower ones (including default) grant infinite lives, making things much more palatable – if perhaps a little rote in places without the tension that limited tries bring to the table. Higher difficulties will also bring back the “Death Blocks”, for the masochists among you. The main difficulty we had was with RSI – mashing the fire button to blast away at bosses got downright painful and we wished in vain for a rapid-fire feature.
It’s an absolute smorgasbord for Angry Video Game Nerd fans, with a metric ton of references, gags and nods to classic episodes of the show. Being based on the show that brought us “diarrhoea dumps” and “the Nerdy Turd”, you can expect a lot of scatological humour, but much of it works well – the boss of the Monster Madness stage is genuinely funny. Clearing both included games – they’re not very long, so this is very much achievable with perseverance – unlocks a brand new final world, replete with the gimmicks from the previous ones and some more contemporary AVGN episode inspirations – watch out for the Dynamite Headdy-inspired Big Rig.
Well-produced and undeniably fun, Angry Video Game Nerd 1 & 2 Deluxe will definitely lose something for non-fans, but it’s a world above the turgid likes of PoopDie. This re-release elevates the workmanlike original to the point that it almost outshines its formerly-leagues-better sequel, but both games are good stuff. It’s comfortably the best “YouTuber game”, and this edition polishes it up in all the right places. If you’re a fan of the AVGN, it’s a must-buy. If you’re not, you’ll probably still enjoy yourself – Freakzone has crafted a meaty, responsive and rewarding pair of platformers that genre enthusiasts will get a kick out of. If you’ve already played both games, the extra chapter isn’t lengthy enough to demand a double-dip, but it is a nice inclusion regardless, and this version is undeniably the better option. (Whoops, we almost forgot the best news of all – the Nostalgia Critic has been entirely removed from ASSimilation. Let joy be unconfined!)

Matt Hancock to hold No10 press conference at 5pm TODAY as tougher lockdown looms
News / By editor2
Last night he said: “Since the historic day the first vaccine was approved, the NHS has made fantastic strides in offering the vaccine to as many at risk people as possible and at record pace.
“We have worked closely with experts across the NHS, local governments and the armed forces to put in place full and thorough preparations for this rollout – this is the biggest vaccination programme in British history.
“From today, the full scale of our plans will be published, so the public can be assured of the time, effort and resources that have gone and will go into ensuring we protect the British people from the scourge of this virus.
Meanwhile, ministers have been considering tougher lockdown restrictions – including a potential ban on exercising with one person outside of your household and having to wear face coverings in offices.
Boris Johnson held a meeting with Cabinet yesterday evening to discuss whether the current rules are halting the spiralling infection rates.
But it’s believed that tighter rules and restrictions will come into place in a bid to control the virus.
Ministers are aiming to make sure people “aren’t using their own creativeness to interpret the rules how they want to” just one week after the lockdown was announced.
And scientists have already warned that the current measures don’t go far enough to stop cases exploding and are instead calling for a “total clampdown”.
They believe nurseries should be closed as well as places of worship with it made compulsory to wear face masks in public.
London mayor Sadiq Khan has also led calls for face coverings to be worn outside the home as he declared a major incident in the capital.
And Sir Keir Starmer yesterday said nurseries “probably should be closed”.
The Labour leader told the BBC: “I think there is a case for looking at nursery schools, we’re talking to the scientists about that.
“I think people are surprised that primary schools were closed but nurseries aren’t.”
This comes after parks and beachfronts across the country were filled to the brim over the weekend as people took advantage of their daily exercise outdoors.
Hyde Park in London was heaving with families on their daily walks, while Covid marshals patrolled along Brighton’s seafront.
People wrapped up in hats and scarves, braving the winter weather to have their Sunday stroll on the first weekend of the new lockdown.
Cops have also warned that they would be handing out more fines during the new lockdown – to make sure Brits comply with the rules.
Under the measures, rule breakers will be hit with a £200 fine for a first offence which will then double to £400 for a second.
The penalties could continue to double to as much as £6,400 if Brits continue to ignore life-saving restrictions.
Yesterday, Matt Hancock refused to speculate on whether the lockdown rulescould be strengthened amid claims from scientists they are “too lax” in stopping the spread.
Asked about the prospect of tighter restrictions, he said: “I don’t want to speculate because the most important message is not whether the Government will further strengthen the rules.

At Annual Gathering Sterling Fellows Explore Yale’s Future
On April 25, Yale hosted the eighth annual gathering of the Sterling Fellows, a society of the University’s most generous donors. Sterling Fellows Chairs Betty and Whitney MacMillan ’51, and President and Mrs. Richard Levin welcomed the Fellows to campus for a daylong program and evening celebration. The schedule of events focused on the recent acquisition of West Campus and the proposed expansion of Yale College, a question that will be put to vote when the Yale Corporation meets in June.
In the morning, the Fellows traveled to West Campus, located in nearby West Haven and Orange. They toured the 136-acre complex, visiting highlights of the more than 500,000 square feet of prime research space. Following the tour, President Levin and Dr. Robert Alpern, dean of the School of Medicine, spoke with the Fellows about Yale’s strategy to use West Campus to boost science and medical research at the University.
Guests returned to the main campus to share lunch with University leaders, followed by an afternoon panel session, “Exploring Expansion—New Residential Colleges.” The panelists, including chairs of the study group to consider the new residential colleges, the president, and dean of Yale College, discussed the implications of the proposed expansion. The gathered alumni, parents, and friends were particularly interested in the University’s plans to maintain the College’s unique and robust culture.
The Fellows spent the evening in celebration at Silliman College, recognizing the newest members of the Sterling Fellowship, and Whitney MacMillan introduced the inductees as they received certificates to honor their enduring commitments to Yale. A pair of duets, performed by virtuoso violinist Mari-e Takahaski SM ’08 and pianist Bretton Brown TD ’08, provided an elegant finale to the event.

11 January 2021 – Online Tutoring Platform Zuoyebang Raises $1.6bn Series E
https://media.blubrry.com/globalventuringreview/p/globalventuringreview.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/236-globalventuringreview-11jan2021.mp3
One of the big shifts in 2020 was the surge in educational technology providers, with China leading the way. That was before a flurry of large rounds in the space right before the end of the year, the biggest being a $1.6bn series E round for online tutoring platform developer Zuoyebang that included Alibaba and SoftBank Vision Fund 1. Zuoyebang’s overall funding now stands at roughly $2.9bn, some 80% of which has come in the past seven months.
Andre Maciel, former managing partner at Japan-headquartered telecommunications and internet group SoftBank’s $5bn Latin America-focused fund, has raised $50m for the first close of an independent venture capital firm. Maciel set up Volpe Capital in 2019 with SoftBank’s backing, and its first fund also has investment bank BTG Pactual as a cornerstone limited partner. Marcelo Claure, head of SoftBank LatAm, and the $5bn fund’s managing partners, Paulo Passoni and Shu Nyattta, have also invested in the fund. Volpe Capital plans to invest in up to 20 early stage companies at series A stage, with a primary focus on the Brazilian market, according to regional trade body Lavca.
SoFi has come a long way since it started as a student loan refinancing specialist, having expanded into a multi-pronged financial services platform that offers lending, investment and insurance products. The company, which has raised some $2.4bn from investors including SoftBank and Renren, has also agreed a reverse merger with a SPAC called Social Capital Hedosophia Holdings Corp V and will be listed on the New York Stock Exchange. The deal will be boosted by $1.2bn in PIPE financing and the merged company will be valued at $8.65bn once the deal closes, double the valuation at which SoFi last raised money.
On GUV, the biggest deal was Hinge Health, a US-based digital therapeutics company backed by commercialisation firm IP Group, which closed a $300m series D round co-led by Coatue Management and Tiger Global. The round valued Hinge at $3bn. Founded in 2014, Hinge Health has built a digital healthcare platform for people living with chronic musculoskeletal conditions, such as back and joint pain. The offering consists of an app, wearable sensors and access to remote health coaching to deliver physical and behavioural health therapy. Hinge Health was co-founded by chief executive Daniel Perez, who gained a PhD in medical sciences from University of Oxford in 2013, and president Gabriel Mecklenburg, who obtained an MPhil in bioengineering from Imperial College London in 2014. But the company was only founded after both had graduated and worked together at Oxbridge Biotech Roundtable, an organisation looking to connect academia with industry since 2011.
B2B e-commerce marketplace Udaan has pulled in $280m from investors including Tencent for the second tranche of a series D round now standing at $865m. Tencent also took part in the round’s 2019 first close, as did Citi Ventures, and the extra funding came at a $3.1bn post-money valuation. Its overall funding has been increased to $1.15bn.
Online food delivery and restaurant listings platform developer Zomato has pulled in $660m through a series J round valuing it at $3.9bn post-money. Info Edge and Ant Financial, the two corporates that have historically been its two key investors, do not however appear to have participated in the round, the funding coming from Fidelity, Tiger Global Management, Luxor Capital, Kora Management, D1 Capital Partners, Baillie Gifford, Mirae Asset and Steadview Capital.
Cloud cybersecurity platform developer Lacework has closed $525m in funding from investors including Snowflake Ventures, which provided $20m, and existing backer Liberty Global Ventures. The company had previously raised less than $75m but said it increased revenue 300% in 2020, and that big jump in funding is indicative of how the ongoing public markets tech boom is having an impact further down the pyramid.
As 2020 drew to a close, game creation platform developer Roblox had put its initial public offering on hold, citing erratic post-IPO share movement of other tech companies. Now we can see what the results are. Roblox has secured $520m in a series H round featuring Warner Music Group valuing it at $29.5bn – a more than sevenfold increase on the $4bn valuation in its series G round under a year ago. The company has also revealed it’s eschewing an IPO in favour of a direct listing, which suggests it really wasn’t happy with its underwriters for the offering.
DXY, the Chinese operator of an online medical community, has completed a $500m round featuring Tencent Investment, at the end of a year when it established a real-time information service covering covid-19 that aimed to combat harmful rumours. Tencent had originally invested $70m in DXTY through a 2014 round that preceded a $100m series D round four years later.
Chinese AI chipmaker Horizon Robotics secured $150m in series C funding just last month but has already added $400m in a series C2 round co-led by lithium-ion battery maker Contemporary Amperex Technology. Recent reports suggested the company was targeting a total of $700m across multiple tranches, its earlier backers including Intel Capital and SK Global subsidiaries SK China and SK Hynix.
Grab is one of two big players in Southeast Asia’s on-demand ride market, and it has also been arguably the quickest in the sector worldwide to expand into other areas. It has reportedly raised $300m for Grab Financial Group, a spinoff that encompasses a range of financial services including digital payment technology, lending, insurance and investment management. Conglomerate Hanwha is leading the round through its Hanwha Asset Management subsidiary.
Chinese AI chipmaker Enflame Technology has raised $279m in the biggest round announced so far this year. Enflame produces artificial intelligence chips for data centres and has now secured a total of over $470m since it was founded in 2018. Tencent, which participated in the $279m series C round, has backed it in all four rounds it has disclosed.
Aeva develops lidar sensor technology for use in autonomous driving systems, and two months ago it agreed a reverse merger with a SPAC called InterPrivate Acquisition Corp set to value it at about $2.1bn once the deal closed. Now the company, which is backed by Porsche and Lockheed Martin, has agreed a $200m investment by one of InterPrivate’s shareholders, technology investment firm Sylebra Capital, that will close when the other deal does. It’s an interesting symptom of the ongoing public markets boom.
Divvy is the developer of an offering that combines business expense management software with smart credit cards, helping companies track and manage their expenses and spending. It has secured $165m in a series D round featuring Hanaco and PayPal Ventures at a $1.6bn valuation. The round increased Divvy’s overall funding to $410m, $200m of which came in a 2019 series C round.
Dremio, developer of a data management platform for data lake storage, has received $135m in series D funding from backers including Cisco Investments at a $1bn valuation. The corporate also took part in Dremio’s $70m series C round 10 months ago, and the latest round boosted its total funding to $250m. We’ve had a host of big enterprise software IPOs over the past year or two, but it looks as if the next wave of unicorns in the space is emerging.
Antibody therapy developer Boan Biotech has raised $106m from investors including Bank of China’s BOCG investment vehicle at a pre-money valuation a touch over $750m. The company was founded in 2013 and acquired by Luye Pharma Group six years later, the latest round representing the first it has closed since then.
US-based sports franchises the Green Bay Packers, Milwaukee Bucks and Milwaukee Brewers have backed an impact investment fund for minority-run startups. The franchises committed to Equity League as “a new impact investment division of venture capital fund TitletownTech,” alongside software producer Microsoft.
Arvelle Therapeutics was spun off in 2019 by drug developer Axovant to commercialise an epilepsy drug licensed from pharmaceutical company SK Biopharmaceuticals. The company bagged $208m in series A and project funding last year but its investors will exit after Angelini Pharma agreed to acquire it in a deal that could hit $960m. SK Bio will also get a nice return from its 12% stake in Arvelle.

Right now it feels like we’re gearing up for another period of significant funding, if the rumour mill is anything to go by. Mobile payment platform PhonePe was acquired by Flipkart in 2016, the year after it was founded, but could now be spun back out in a round that could reportedly reach $1bn.

Investment firm Insight Partners was already an investor in threat intelligence provider Recorded Future but has taken a step further, acquiring a controlling stake at a valuation of $780m.
Thrive Earlier Detection, a US-based developer of a blood test for cancer, was spun out of Johns Hopkins University on Thursday with $110m in series A funding from investors led by venture capital firm Third Rock Ventures. BlueCross BlueShield Venture Partners, the corporate venturing subsidiary of health insurer Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association, participated in the round, as did molecular diagnostics company Exact Sciences.
UK-based investment firm Woodford Investment Management has sold its entire shareholding in Oxford Sciences Innovation (OSI), the university venture fund of University of Oxford. The stake, worth £55m ($69.6m), has seemingly been sold to family offices and international investors.
Morningstar downgraded the Equity Income fund from bronze to neutral last week after its value shrunk from £10.2bn in 2017 to just £4.4bn, while St James’ Place, the largest wealth manager in the UK, put the firm on its watchlist after a prolonged poor performance.

RobinHood was valued at $5.6bn back when it last raised money, early last year, but the Alphabet and Roc Nation-backed trading app developer is seeking $200m from existing investors at a reported valuation of up to $8bn.
Growth equity vehicle EV Growth was formed by East Ventures and corporate VC units SMDV and YJ Capital early last year with a $150m target for its first fund. It’s ended up overshooting that by a food amount, closing the fund at $200m having received commitments from limited partners including SoftBank. The fund has invested in 12 portfolio companies to date.
Palo Alto Networks has agreed to pay $410m to acquire container security software developer Twistlock, which had raised $63m from investors including Dell Technologies Capital.
BridgeBio Pharma is developing drugs to treat genetic diseases including forms of cancer linked to genetic causes. It has filed for a $225m initial public offering that will follow more than $480m in venture funding from investors including AIG, though only KKR and Viking Global Investors hold stakes of 5% or more.

Dan Houser to Leave Rockstar Games in March 2020
In a shocking announcement today, Dan Houser, one of the co-founders of Rockstar games, is leaving the company. An SEC document was released from Take-Two earlier today announcing the resignation. Houser is credited with many roles at Rockstar, including writer, voice actor, producer, and Vice President. He has worked on multiple franchises, including Grand Theft Auto, Red Dead Redemption, Bully, and Max Payne. His last day at the company will be March 11th, 2020.

Sphynxinator | Crash Bandicoot 3 | Levels Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy Guide
Next Levels Crash Bandicoot 3 - Egyptian location Bye Bye Blimps Prev Levels Crash Bandicoot 3 - Egyptian location Location description
Clear Gem #1 - Smash all 105 crates.
Clear Gem #2- it is at the end of the path that you unlock using Blue Gem
1 secret area (requires a Blue Gem)
1 bonus round
Note - Before you start this level, consider playing Tomb Wader first (also a part of the portals in the Egyptian warp room). This will allow you to obtain the Blue Gem that you need to obtain Clear gems.
This level takes place in a tomb, where you find quite a few new unpleasant surprises that can make you die quickly. Also, obtaining all of the crates and clear gems poses a problem, because you first have to explore the discernibly more difficult locations first and it is even easier to die there.
After the level starts, run down the screen and smash four crates, where there is a crate with an extra life. Then, reach the fork. The path to the left is more difficult, but you will have to go there anyways, if you want to smash all the crates. It is recommended to take the right path, if you want to complete this stage as quickly as possible. Both of the paths lead towards the end of the stage and they converge later on. It is going to be easier for you to reach all of the crates, if you explore the left path first and then turn along the right one to smash all of the remaining crates.
The left path requires you to reach the other side of a large chasm and, for the first time, you will have to use the Death Tornado Spin ability, which you obtain after defeating the last boss. Take a double jump towards the chasm and, in the top point of the jump, start tapping Square. Crash will turn into a tornado and will gradually drop (shown in the above screenshot). Use all these abilities to fly towards the ledge in the distance. You will land on it safely only if you have activated the tornado at the right moment, so do not worry if you fail for the first several times.
In the next corridor, watch out for the lit points on the ground which activate traps, and for green crates with nitroglycerine. Get around the hopping sarcophagus (or smash it and eliminate the mummy behind it) and approach carefully the cluster of jugs with a monkey among them. Avoid the object that it throws and smash all the jugs to eliminate the threat.
Walk over the slippery floor and reach the pressure plate. Right after you press it, start jumping over the plates with scarabs which drop quickly. Eventually, you will reach the location shown in the above screenshot. Here, you will find a checkpoint, as many as four extra lives and a moving platform. This will take you to the right.
The ride ends on the ledge with spikes. You can walk over it at the moment, at which the spikes are fully extended, but you have to watch out for situations in which they will be extending from the ground. Now you will have to explore the right path that you have skipped. Jump onto the moving platform below, shown in the above screenshot. Start moving down the screen, watch out for the closing stone blocks, the opponent with flame thrower and a new sarcophagus. Smash all of the regular crates that you run into (Note - one of them is a TNT crate).
After you have smashed all of the crates on the right path, return to the platform with spikes, which is where both of the paths converge. This time, jump onto the platform on the right, thanks to which you will be able to explore the rest of the tomb.
Along your path, get around the sarcophagus with a mummy and follow the path. At the top of the stairs, there is a trap with closing stone blocks. Do not let yourself be crushed. You will run into even greater trouble in the next corridor (shown in the above screenshot), because there are lit spots and crates with nitroglycerine there. You can double-jump and activate tornado here again, thanks to which you will make it over the traps. As an alternative, you can slide and double-jump, but you will have to hurry then, lest you take damage from poison darts.
In the next part, there is a slippery floor with two green crates. Get around them and jump over the moving stone blocks (Note - the first one of them detonates both of the green crates and you have to be away from then when this happens).
Attack the opponent manning the lever and head on. Watch out for the closing stone blocks at the top of the stairs. Around, there are many crates to be found. Watch out for TNT crates and make sure that you smash at least one crate with extra life.
Eventually, you will reach the location shown in the above screenshot. If you have the Green Gem from Tomb Wader (you receive it after you complete Death Route), you can walk onto the blue platform that will warp you to a secret location. Here, you will have to move over slippery surfaces, virtually, at all times, so you have to be extremely careful.
Along your path, you will have to watch out for the lit spots that fire traps in the walls, jugs with monkeys and for closing stone blocks. Only in the latter case, try to slow down and stop right by the blocks. Towards the end of this area, also be prepared to face a cobra guarding the Clear Gem. After you obtain the gem, you could cross the portal and end this part, but it is better to commit a suicide and return to the main part of the mission. You will not lose the gem and you will be able to continue your search for crates to smash.
Explore corridors behind the platform warping to the secret location. Watch out here for spikes and a hopping sarcophagus with a mummy. In one of the corridors ahead, you will again have to avoid green crates and stone blocks moving over the slippery surface.
Reach the crate with an Aku Aku mask (shown in the above screenshot) and jump onto the first round platform. You do not have to do anything else, because the platform will start traveling. Along the way, prepare yourself for jumping onto another round platform. In the final part of the ride, take a diagonal jump, to the left or to the right, to avoid an opponent with a flamethrower.
In one of the next areas, there are a violet crystal and a pressure plate traveling to the bonus round starting point (shown in screenshot 1). In the bonus level, first jump onto TNT crates, but also remember to jump towards the crate suspended high above. In one of the next areas, you can take your time before you start the countdown, to have some time to reach the extra life shown in screenshot 2. You can also ignore it and head right. The final 4 crates are a bit more troublesome. Smash, one after another, the ones placed on the TNT crate, until the last one drops down, which will start the countdown.
After you return from the bonus round, get around the mummy and the sarcophagus, or eliminate it and approach a small pit. Jump only after the stones slide apart. Watch out for another monkey in the jars and, just as carefully, start clearing the tall tower of crates. Some of them are TNT crates. Touch to any of them to start the countdown.
Reach yet another corridor with sliding blocks. Get around them and smash the jugs, where there are monkeys. Finally, stand on the pressure plate and, after you get around the blocks, hit the crate with the exclamation mark. You can now return to the portal and end this stage.

Abu Dhabi’s Hope Consortium expands reach via four key partnerships
The four companies cover 80 per cent of the world’s countries and transported over four million tons of air freight cargo globally last year
by Zainab Mansoor
Abu Dhabi’s Hope Consortium has secured a strategic agreement with four international freight forwarders to bolster its distribution reach.
Latest entrants to the consortium include Agility, Aramex, Hellmann and Kuehne + Nagel, which will help address logistical challenges, including ‘last mile’, with a capacity of billions of Covid-19 vaccine doses by the end of 2021.
Spearheaded by the Department of Health – Abu Dhabi, the Hope Consortium partnered with the transport companies based on their abilities to safely deliver vaccine doses under cold and ultra-cold conditions between transportation hubs, warehouses, medical facilities and other final destinations in over 170 countries. The four companies cover 80 per cent of the world’s countries and transported over four million tons of air freight cargo globally last year.
The Hope Consortium consists of Etihad Cargo, Abu Dhabi Ports, Rafed – the healthcare purchasing arm of Abu Dhabi-based ADQ and Switzerland’s SkyCell, which develops temperature-controlled logistics containers for the pharmaceutical industry.
Dr. Jamal Mohammed Alkaabi, undersecretary of the Department of Health – Abu Dhabi, said: “The Hope Consortium’s success relies upon the collaboration of public sector entities and leading private sector companies across the global logistics supply chain. The addition of Agility, Aramex, Hellmann and Kuehne + Nagel provides solid support and expertise to address multiple challenges, including the ‘last mile’ vaccine distribution challenge.”
With operations in more than 100 countries, Agility is a freight forwarding and contract logistics provider, and one of the largest private owners and developers of warehousing and light industrial parks in the Middle East, Africa and Asia.
“As a strategic partner, Agility Abu Dhabi is committed to help drive Abu Dhabi’s growth vision,” noted Khadim Al Darei, chairman of Agility Abu Dhabi. “During the early months of Covid-19, Agility supported projects related to food security and medical equipment supply chain. Through the Hope Consortium, we look forward to utilising our global logistics footprint and warehousing network to make a difference on a global scale.”
Aramex is a global provider of comprehensive logistics and transportation solutions, its services including international and domestic express delivery, freight-forwarding, logistics and supply chain management.
“Aramex is proud to be a trusted partner playing a leading role in the worldwide distribution of vital SARS-CoV2 vaccines,” said Captain Mohamed Juma Al Shamisi, chairman of Aramex.
“Our global operating network across over 65 countries, expertise in providing logistics and transportation solution across the value chain – from laboratories to healthcare facility – and our facilities – from warehouse to van fleets – puts us in a very strong position to be a reliable partner in the Hope Consortium. Our part of the promise is to help deliver a portion of the billions of vaccine doses to their target populations on-time and in accordance with the world’s most stringent health and safety standards.”
Germany-headquartered Hellmann Worldwide Logistics has a global network of around 500 branches in more than 173 countries, and specialises in supply chain solutions for key industries.
Reiner Heiken, chief executive officer, Hellmann Worldwide Logistics, said: “To ensure that vital products such as vaccines and other life-saving pharmaceutical products are handled with the highest integrity and safety, we have globally established Hellmann Healthcare Logistics. People, processes, infrastructure and digitalisation are the foundation of our healthcare network and enable us to offer compliant, transparent and innovative transportation and distribution solutions.”
With over 78,000 employees at 1,400 locations in over 100 countries, logistics company Kuehne+Nagel moved 4.9 million twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs) by sea freight, 1.6 million tons by air freight, operated 32,500 truck departures a day in Europe and managed 11.4 million square metres of logistics and warehousing space.
“By joining Hope Consortium, we bring in the Kuehne+Nagel CEIV accredited global network of cool facilities, long-standing experience of large vaccine shipments and dedicated Pharma and Healthcare specialists that will ensure fast, safe and secure transportation,” said Robert Coyle, senior vice president, pharma and healthcare strategy at Kuehne+Nagel.

Africa’s Gift to America: The Afro-American in the Making and Saving of the United States
by: J. A. Rogers
Originally published in 1959 and revised and expanded in 1989, this book asserts that Africans had contributed more to the world than was previously acknowledged. Historian Joel Augustus Rogers devoted a significant amount of his professional life to unearthing facts about people of African ancestry. He intended these findings to be a refutation of contemporary racist beliefs about the inferiority of blacks. Rogers asserted that the color of skin did not determine intellectual genius, and he publicized the great black civilizations that had flourished in Africa during antiquity. According to Rogers, many ancient African civilizations had been primal molders of Western civilization and culture.
