Femtocell Network Architecture
in Whitepaper, Airvana, Femtocell
Airvana - Connecting femtocells to operator networks requires unique architectures that address the security needs of operators and mobile users and support the deployment of scalable femtocell networks that can serve millions of subscribers. The femtocell network architecture is also designed to allow ordinary consumers to install them with plug-and-play simplicity. Significant adaptive and self-organizing capabilities built into this architecture support zero-touch service activation by the user.
Network architecture is also critical in supporting emergency calling, which can now be delivered to mobile devices inside buildings with the same reliability and accuracy as fixed-line emergency calling. This paper addresses these critical topics, presents alternative approaches that are used in femtocell products, and highlights some of the unique solutions used in Airvana femtocell products.

Lakeland College, Columbia College of Nursing Announce Partnership
Lakeland, CCON agreement will address anticipated national nursing shortage
Milwaukee, Wis. (PRWEB) October 24, 2012
Columbia College of Nursing (CCON) and Lakeland College have formed a partnership to increase the number of registered nurses in anticipation of the pending nursing shortage. The CCON/Lakeland partnership comes at a time when other nursing schools are turning away students due to insufficient numbers of faculty, clinical sites, classroom space, clinical preceptors and budget constraints.
As part of the agreement, up to 50 Lakeland College students each year, who meet CCON’s academic criteria, will be admitted into the Columbia College of Nursing program, 4425 N. Port Washington Road, Glendale, Wis. Students will complete their first two years at Lakeland’s main campus in Sheboygan County, and then complete their final two years at CCON, graduating with a bachelor of science degree in nursing from CCON.
“Having a strong partnership with Lakeland College, a renowned academic institution, will enable us to work collaboratively to address the nursing shortage that is expected to intensify in the next decade,” said Jill Winters, Ph.D., R.N., President and Dean of the Columbia College of Nursing.
According to the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN), the aging Baby Boomer population is creating more demand for RNs*. In addition, the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Employment Projections released a report** this past February stating the top occupation for job growth through 2020 will be registered nurses.
CCON is affiliated with Columbia St. Mary’s Health System, making it the only nursing college in Milwaukee with formal ties to a healthcare system. Students will begin clinical work in their first semester at CCON, and have priority status for pre- and post-graduation nursing positions within Columbia St. Mary’s including hospitals in Milwaukee, Mequon, and Glendale.
“There are currently a number of openings for nurses within our hospitals,” said Winters. “Our agreement with Lakeland gives CCON access to students with a strong two-year liberal arts curriculum. Combined with hands-on nursing science education and experiences at CCON, we will graduate classes of highly-skilled, highly trained nurses.”
According to Winters, CCON currently enrolls 180 students and would like to add approximately 60-80 new students per semester.
Lakeland President Michael Grandillo said the partnership allows Lakeland to connect students into a career path that has a demonstrated need with an academic partner that has proven training and employment opportunities.
“The need for more nurses and nursing students has been clearly documented,” Grandillo said. “CCON’s relationship with Columbia St. Mary’s clears many of the hurdles faced at other nursing schools, paving the way for our students to gain the hands-on experience in real hospital settings they need prior to graduation.
“We’re excited to partner with CCON and their tradition of high quality education. More than 90 percent of CCON graduates pass the NCLEX-RN licensing exam on their first attempt,” said Grandillo.

P.20-1978
In Storage
John Smart was based in Madras for the decade he was working in India, and although he left India in 1795, his connection with the Binney family was clearly resumed in London, where this double portrait was painted. Charles Binney had been Secretary to an Indian ruler who lived near Madras. Harriet and Elizabeth were Binney’s daughters. Harriet (on the left) married Andrew Trevor in 1797, surgeon to the 33rd Regiment of Foot, the Duke of Wellington's Regiment. (Andrew Trevor was an ancestor of Miss Joan Gwladis Trevor, who gave this wonderful watercolour to the V&A.) In the 1780s Smart began to paint small oval watercolour portraits on paper, offering clients a quicker and cheaper alternative to his miniatures on ivory. This double portrait is a superb elaboration of this style of work, which would have been very laborious for Smart to have painted on ivory. However, the disadvantage of paper is its tendency to discolour with age, which is what gives this picture its slight brown tinge.

FIFA Approves Three Candidates for UEFA Presidency
(ATR) All three candidates for the UEFA presidency have passed the eligibility checks conducted by FIFA.
Aleksander Čeferin, Michael van Praag and Ángel María Villar Llona are in the race to replace Michel Platini, who resigned over a financial scandal earlier this year.
Van Praag heads the Dutch FA. Villar is president of Spain's national football federation, while Ceferin leads the Slovenian association.
The UEFA election takes place at the Extraordinary UEFA Congress in Athens on Sept.14.
Like other confederation presidents, the new head of UEFA will automatically become a FIFA vice-president.
UEFA confirmed that Evelina Christillin, who is running for a female position on the FIFA Council, has also complied with the world football federation’s eligibility requirements. The election of UEFA’s additional female member on FIFA's ruling body is the other main item of business at the meeting in the Greek capital next week.
FIFA Names Finance Chief
Thomas Peyer from Switzerland started in the role of FIFA’s chief finance officer today, replacing Markus Kattner who was fired in a corruption scandal. Peyer joins from Kuoni Group where he was group CFO. He has 25 years' experience in the financial sector and previously worked as a project manager for AXA Winterthur Insurance in Zurich and London.
FIFA sacked deputy secretary general Kattner in May for breaching ethics rules after a 13-year career at the federation. The 45-year-old is alleged to have awarded himself bonuses running to millions of dollars over a number of years.

On the Call: Betty McArdle, Jim Costello, Michi Bradley, Michael Brown, Michael Richards, Peter Franck, Al Davis, Clay Leander, Cheryl Leanza, Melodie Virtue, Tom Voorhees
Prometheus Radio Project vs FCC -- Supreme Court Case (Cheryl Leanza): There will be one hour of oral arguments presented by two Supreme Court experienced attorneys who have donated their services to Prometheus. Other organizations supporting Prometheus include: Media Mobilizing Project, Free Press, United Church of Christ, Benton Foundation, NOW, Common Cause, Communications Workers of America and others, are parties in the case.
Clay asked if Radio for People could file as Amicus? Cheryl said the organizations listed above are actual petitioners on the case and not filing Amicus Briefs, but they would welcome Amicus Briefs. Cheryl said they are definitely looking for Amicus Briefs and she would be happy to talk to anyone who is interested in filing a brief (contact betty@c-map.org and I will put you in touch with Cheryl). They would especially welcome briefs with community radio station call letters on them. They would need those Amicus Briefs by approximately December 23rdbut that date is somewhat uncertain. It could be earlier. Cheryl and others will help write the brief and prep the attorneys.
The case regards the FCC’s ownership rules. In 2016 the Obama administration decided that they would keep the (at that time) current rules in place regarding consolidation. Once the Trump administration got in, they decided to reverse those ownership rules allowing a more consolidation, particularly allowing TV/Newspaper cross-ownership. Prometheus took the FCC to court and won. The U.S. Court of Appeals overturned the FCC actions, and then denied their request for a rehearing. The FCC decided to appeal directly to the Supreme Court.
In Spring 2020 the Solicitor General advocated the case to the SC and on October 2 the SC agreed to hear it. Because the SC agreed to hear the case is not a good sign for Prometheus. If the SC thought the lower court ruling (which favored Prometheus) was sound, it would not have agreed to hear the case. The FCC (and media industry) will present their case(s) in November; Prometheus will present its case in December. Oral arguments likely will happen in January. Information on this case is on the SC’s website, https://www.supremecourt.gov/. Just enter “Prometheus radio”.
Michael B said it sounds like we should have a separate Zoom meeting to discuss just this subject. Many agreed. Betty suggested sometime soon after the election. Many agreed.
FCC Stuff:
The FCC has confirmed that the upcoming NCE window will be a Reserved-Band window (88.1-91.9MHz) – like in 2007. But no hint of a date yet. The FCC is proposing that there be a limit of ten applications per organization. They go on to say that no party to an application (such as a board member) may be party to more than ten applications. It has not yet been published in the Federal Register. Once that happens there will be a 15-day public comment period followed by a ten-day reply period. Some on the call want a lower number. Michi said let’s exchange emails and come up with a number that we can all agree on. Then we can say that number in comments. Our several comments with the same message might carry a bit of weight. More information available at https://recnet.com/.
Recnet just released a draft availability map for the upcoming NCE window in 2021. Go to https://www.facebook.com/michichan and scroll down, scroll down, scroll down. They also released a draft LPFM availability map, also on the facebook page.
Follow the compliance guides that some organizations have put out including Recnet. Some organizations, such as Saga, are just looking for a way to “get” your station. Be especially careful about the wording of your underwriting announcements. Michi has published a Guidance handbook, recnet.com/compliance. Lots of Do’s and Don’ts.
Legal Resources for LPFMs and non-NFCB stations: Peter said that at one of the GRC sessions someone talked about possible liability issues when they sent reporters to demonstrations. Peter was not sure if the NFCB legal handbook still exists. Do we have anything like NFCB’s legal handbook for those who are not members of NFCB. If we don’t, should we think about how we might get such a handbook. Clay said that Michael Couzens has been contracted with to do the update of NFCB’s legal handbook. But, that still does not address the issue of legal handbook-type resources for non-NFCB stations.
Al shared that he has set up a site called communityradio.wiki. The idea is for people to upload content that is shared with everyone – free-sharing of information. Right now it is not a place with a lot of information; it is a place to put information. Michi called it a free open forum.
Stations Updates:
WRAU, Ocean City, Maryland. 50K watt. It’s available.
GRC2020 Report: Betty reported that the Virtual GRC 2020 Summit was a big success. A few technical glitches here and there but overall sessions chock full of timely and excellent information. There also was time for back and forth discussion of the three primary themes of this GRC:
The Pandemic: How to Broadcast Safely & Responsibly
The Protests: Amplifying Justice & Equality for All
The President: Energizing the Electorate Through the FM Dial
The sessions covered these topics and went beyond. Betty suggested that the virtual element be a part of future GRCs (when we can have in-person GRCs again) to be able to include those who would not be able to travel to the actual site. Some might say that would decrease the number of people who would attend the in-person GRCs. Not a chance – being with radio colleagues and friends is one of the most important elements of GRCs.
Jim Ellinger said he agreed that it was a fine conference. The content is on the web, https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqecKWCvCXV9_uYptTQGmfQ?fbclid=IwAR2C_mxuHJE_9ZAXPdtHFkMXJgRTw3VP83xwNHnUTRDuJuebCfh3OtrdAB8. Take a look and listen.
Thanks to WXOX and all who worked so hard to make GRC2020 such a pleasure and success.

Another Dallas Stars game postponed because of COVID-19; NHL reshuffles schedule
‘All’ Patriots Opt-Outs Reportedly Could Return Next Season
The list of Patriots players who opted out of the 2020 NFL season is longer than that of any other team: Marcus Cannon, Dont’a Hightower, Patrick Chung, Matt LaCosse, Brandon Bolden, Dan Vitale, Marqise Lee and Najee Toran.
The losses of those players, especially Hightower, Chung and even LaCosse, really hurt New England over the course of the season. But most — if not all — of those players could return to play for the Patriots in 2021, according to Boston Sports Journal’s Greg Bedard.
Here’s an excerpt from the latest episode of Boston Sports Journal’s “Greg Bedard Patriots Podcast“:
“From what I’ve heard, it’s likely that Marcus Cannon is gonna be back — I’m not even sure that assures him a spot on the roster,” Bedard said. ” … What I have heard is that it’s largely positive on all the opt-outs, that they’re all coming back. … And I don’t have that hard-and-fast from everybody, but my sources indicate that there’s been a lot of positive talk about everyone coming back.”
As Bedard alluded to, that a Patriots player would want to return for the 2021 season does not guarantee them a spot on the roster. There also is money to consider, though that is an entirely different rabbit hole to go down.
Nevertheless, the Patriots would receive a major boost if they welcomed players like Hightower back into the fold. Of course, of far greater importance is who the starting quarterback will be, assuming New England and Cam Newton indeed part ways this offseason.

The Doctor’s first date with River has gotten more than a little complicated. With three versions of her in the TARDIS, it takes two of him to sort matters.
The Doctor lays an unmoving River Song on the floor of the TARDIS, terrified she is dead. He prepares to give her mouth-to-mouth, but realises she is only holding her breath with her eyes closed. She gets up to flirt with him.
She has escaped from Stormcage and asked some Sontarans if they were out on a hen’s night, only for them to chase her halfway across the galaxy. As he chastises her, she notices the gold dress he has chosen for her for their visit to Caldoron Beta hanging near the console. She demands to know whom he has brought and storms up the stairs to find the hussy. A second later, the earlier River returns from the TARDIS wardrobe, demanding to know to whom he is talking. When he denies talking to anyone, she resumes her hunt.
A third River enters the TARDIS, actually wearing the gold dress. This River was expecting to meet The Doctor here, but on seeing the dress hung by the console, asks why he has bought another. The Doctor asks her to step outside to check if the light on top of the TARDIS is working. She does.
The youngest River reappears, certain she has heard voices. The Doctor tells her he was talking to himself and she bustles off again. The second River returns to the control room, likewise convinced she heard The Doctor talking to someone. The Doctor brusquely activates her Vortex manipulator to return her to prison. The third River re-enters the TARDIS. She is followed by a second, olderincarnation of the Doctorin a tailcoat, who tells her she’s in the wrong TARDIS. River is amused at the prospect of two versions of her husband, but as ‘her’ Doctor ushers her out, she calls back to the younger Doctor that she and her Doctor are off to see the Singing Towers of Darillium. The two Doctors share a brief, sad moment, knowing that this is the spot The Doctor took her just before her ill-fated expedition to the Library. The younger Doctor reverently wishes his earlier self good luck on his final date. The older Doctor wistfully looks back at the past version of himself and wishes him the same.
As the older Doctor exits, the youngest River returns to catch a glimpse of them together. Her Doctor will not tell her what has just transpired because of ‘spoilers’. She expresses that she likes that word. He escorts her to the door to go on their date as she protests that she hasn’t changed. He says she never will. River jokes that his secrets will be the death of her.
This is the second of a two-part story that began with First Night.<
The title makes reference to the implication that the future version of the Eleventh Doctor and Riverare on her final “night out” to the Singing Towers of Darillium, just before the events of Silence in the Library. However, The Doctor does not follow through with the date, as revealed in The Husbands of River Song.
This story is set entirely within The Doctor’s TARDIS.
The second River was being chased by Sontarans.

Steve Quayle ~ Selling Doom & Gloom
Promoting End Times Programming and British Israel
By Ken Adachi <Editor@educate-yourself.org>
http://educate-yourself.org/cn/stevequayleendtimespromo07jan06.shtml
I heard Steve Quayle interviewed on George Noory's Coast to Coast AM radio show last night (Jan. 6, 2006). I last heard Steve on Noory's show many months ago (or perhaps a year ago) as part of a four person 'roundtable' interview with George Noory. The other guests were Alex Jones, Jim Marrs, and Linda Moulton Howe. I was mainly interested in hearing what Alex Jones and Jim Marrs had to say in that roundtable discussion because they don't pull punches and rightly identify the crew of Illuminati front men who are now in control of this government and who are daily steering this republic's ship of state straight into annihilation- as traitors to the Constitution and Luciferians. Linda Howe made more than a few cogent and on-target observations on how the NWO plays the disinfo game. Steve Quayle's comments were generally in alignment with Alex as far as the Luciferians in government are concerned, BUT as a Christian fundamentalist, he occasionally strayed into the Tevistock orchestrated psyops called the End Times scenario.
However, on last night's radio show with George Noory, Steve Quayle pulled out all the stops in his promotion of End Times hysteria. I'm not going to accuse Quayle of being a knowing agent for the Dark Side, but he's certainly playing into their hands--completely-- with his Doom & Gloom Road Show which he emcees so very well.
Anyone who listened to that show- and didn't know the background behind the orchestrated British Israel deception- would have thought that "it's all over now, except for a bunch of screaming and crying" as Phil Schneider used to say in his lectures. If you didn't get depressed and feel hopeless after listening to that show, then you weren't really listening. Steve Quayle is doing what all End Times promoters do: he's selling Fear and Want. He wants you to focus on basic survival and that's exactly what the Illuminati wants you to focus on.
That's why they orchestrated the Y2K scare. That's why they put Major Ed Dames, Gordon Michael Scallion, Lorie Toye, Robert Ghostwolf, and a host of other Doom and Gloomers on the Art Bell show in order to keep you locked down in fear and focusing on survival. Survival is a lower frequency, limbic ('reptilian') brain stem activity for both mind and body. Our lowest chakra, the first chakra, is red in color and concerned with the energy flow for survival. The Illuminati likes red. You might say it's their color. It's the color of Mars, the warrior. They use it for their Red Rose (of Rosicrucians) as a lapel pin, or the red pentagram star that you see on Chinese military uniforms. Satanists also seem to be attracted to the color red (along with black and purple) as they certainly spill enough of it as human and animal blood from sacrificed victims.
Keeping your frequency low is the surest way to keep you from gaining higher consciousness, awareness, and keener insights. It also makes you much more susceptible to microwave and scalar wave mind control influences. Higher consciousness allows you to connect the dots within the matrix and it helps you to realize who's pulling your strings-and why. Once you catch on that you're being manipulated left and right, you begin to see that "they" don't want you to know something. It's this: :
You are a multi-dimensional Light Being housed within a human body and you are capable of changing (creating) reality with your mind.
You have latent psychic capabilities that far exceed those of the negative reptilian aliens who are pulling the strings from behind the curtain and you have-most importantly- the capacity to give and receive LOVE -which is a far greater 'weapon' than anything that the Illuminated Luciferians or their reptilian overlords have in their arsenals. It seems that we humans can CREATE reality with our mind while the negative Orion aliens CAN'T, and that's why they need to embed all of their destructive themes into movies, TV shows, etc. in order to to get humans to create their desired reality FOR them. Arizona Wilder corroborated this very point in her 1999 video interview with David Icke, Revelations of a Mother Goddess. Arizona said that the shape shifting, human/reptilian Illuminati must train 100% human mind controlled slaves to function as intermediaries to "pull down the old ones " (demonic beings from the astral plane) within the perimeter of the satanic Pentagram during their high level satanic rituals because the "reptilians don't have the ability to do it".
You are a multi-dimensional Light Being capable of creating reality with your mind.
That's the Big One that you're not suppose to know about. That's the reason why Christian dogma was shaped at Constantinople and other ecclesiastic councils to reflect the idea that you're a lowly, little sinner; a nobody who has to plead with God, who is outside and detached from you, to allow you to come in from the cold and grant you salvation. If you got the silly notion that the spark of God was burning within you, and not exterior to you, you might start to think that, as a part of and an extension of the Creator, you might be able to do some creating yourself. But then you might pose a serious threat to the control paradigm that these Brotherhood clowns and their Orion alien overlords have worked so long to set you up for: their enslavement scenario (and you know that we can't have any of that, now can we?).
So how does the Brotherhood keep you from musing about such things? Well, one way is to get the Steve Quayles of the world and those TV evangelical Side Show barkers to keep you focused on the End Times, doom and gloom scenario (with the 'Jesus-is-coming-back-to-rule-from-Jerusalem-for-a-thouisand-years' kicker at the end, of course).
As the Illuminati planners keep orchestrating each 'predicted' End Times event into place, the evangelical shouters keep saying:"You see! We told you this was going to happen-just like it says in the Bible!". " Repent before it's too late!" "Get straight with the Lord!" "The Day of the Lord's mighty Tribulation is at Hand-Hallelujah!" (or something along those lines... a la Jack Van Impe, Jesse Duplantis, Kenneth Copeland, John Hagee, Charles Capps, Benny Hinn, etc., etc.)
I put Steve Quayle in a different category than the bulk of TV and radio fundamentalist con men who not only pitch the British Israel End Times scenario, but have steadily functioned as apologists for the satanic Bush cabal. At least Steve isn't aiding the Illuminati in that regard. He can recognize the satanic players in government. I was also pleased to hear him disavow a belief in the Rapture when one woman caller asked him his views about it. I'm paraphrasing his words, but he essentially said that it was so much nonsense and people shouldn't be deceived about it. I couldn't agree more, however, I need to remind my fundamentalist readers that I believe, when the time is right, that there will be a staged Rapture. For those who desire to be 'beamed up', they will wind up in alien spacecraft and their destiny from that point forward will be tenuous at best. My advice is-if and when the opportunity arises-don't go.
My main complaint with Steve Quayle is his unabashed endorsement of the End Times deception and his wholesale installment of fear and anxiety in those listeners who are dumb enough to accept his duped view (Stan Deyo is another Art Bell alumni seen at Quayle's web site who is working the same End Times, British Israel mojo and has been stroking the doomsday byline for about eleven years now over the internet).
I'll give Steve the benefit of doubt and assume that he truly believes that the so-called End Times, apparently unfolding before us, is due to God's righteous wrath and the need to fulfill the prophesies laid down in Revelations and all that, but I've got news for Steve: the whole thing is an engineered set up-including the apocalyptic 'visions' outlined in the book of Revelations.
Let me start with Steve's dire warnings in his interview concerning the devastating earthquakes that may hit the New Madrid fault and possibly the west coast sometimes soon.
We already know that earthquakes have been planned by the Illuminati for the New Madrid fault and along the west coast, as Phil Ledoux has already laid out that scenario in a dowse published at this web site in October 2005, but those earthquakes will have no connection with God's wrath, but rather will have everything to do with Tesla earthquake technology which the domestic traitors will apply to intentionally precipitate those earthquakes in order to bring on the chaos that will justify the pretext for declaring martial law. With the imposition of martial law across the nation, all of our constitutional rights, our freedoms, and our democracy will be gone-permanently; as their is no provision in those treasonous Presidential Executive Orders and Directives to return to a constitutional government, except for a 'review' of the situation by congress six months after the fact (yea, that ought to help a lot). If martial law is declared, FEMA will take over everything and our problems will have only just begun. We got our first little taste of FEMA with Hurricane Andrew and a bigger demonstration with Katrina, but if and when l martial law is declared nationally, we'll then get a chance to see what FEMA is really all about and we don't want to wait for that to happen.
Depending on our collective will and determination to defeat the agenda, the unhappy scenario described above may not unfold exactly as the Illuminated planners have intended. It's more than possible that-given enough informed, enlightened, and discerning souls-we might be able to collectively stymie or even abort many of these diabolical aspirations. Let's recall that Hurricane Katrina was steered with HAARP technology (yes Steve, I'm afraid that God had nothing to do with that one either) straight into New Orleans in order to give the FEMA goons and their military/Blackwater cohorts a chance to play Invasion Force with defenseless American citizens. However, things didn't work out quite so well for the manipulators when it came to Hurricane Rita, Ophelia, and Wilma as those of us who were awake enough to see the Game, went into collective action and were able to tame those hurricanes down to manageable levels and prevent a repeat of the disgusting betrayal of trust heaped upon the citizens of Louisiana and surrounding states.
Predictably, during his interview with Noory, Steve gravely warned of the soon-to-break-out Bird Flu/ 1918 Spanish Flu 'pandemic' which "might have" smallpox disease "piggybacked" on top of it and wipe out untold millions of Americans. Well, considering that our immune systems have been steadily assaulted by chemtrails for the past seven years, it was certainly intended for millions of people to quickly succumb to a large scale release of those engineered pathogens, but maybe- just maybe- it's not going to be such a slam dunk deal for the NWO.
I can't say with certainty that we won't have some sort of biological outbreak set into motion by our domestic corps of traitor/terrorists, as they certainly have invested a lot of effort to create those little weaponized buggers in their deep underground labs at Fort Dietrick (Maryland) or Plum Island (New York) , but I strongly doubt that the Bird Flu 'pandemic' is ever going to get off the ground. After all, they have added up a TOTAL of 70 people, WORLDWIDE-going back 3 or 4 YEARS, whom they CLAIM have died from Bird Flu. Even "they" would have to admit that there's quite a disconnect between the hysteria being promoted in the media and the actual toll of this 'new' disease. It's beginning to look very much like a rerun of the SARS 'epidemic'.
SARS, if you remember, was suppose to be a devastating "epidemic" that was going to sweep down into the US from Canada in 2003 requiring the shutting down of airports, the imposition of curfews, mandatory vaccinations, and forced quarantines as staged in Toronto for a week or two-but the SARS epidemic never flew. It fizzled miserably. Why? Because unseen forces (friendly aliens, savvy humans, and spiritual helpers) were at work to alter the toxicity of that bug and enhance the immune response of humans, so that their stupid little lab-created SARS bug was no longer infectious or lethal, and it became a non-issue- quickly forgotten and ignored by the press.
Thanks to Don & Carol Croft and their discovery that a large orgone generator called a Chembuster could disperse chemtrails and allow blue skies to reappear, we now realize that we can adversely upset any of their destructive plans if we have the will and firm intention to do so. The deployment of thousands of chembusters and small orgone generators 'gifted' near cell phone towers around the country have had a significant and powerful impact on the electronic mind control agenda that was suppose to be fully in place by 2004. Another positive effect of deploying orgone generators was the tremendous influx of Sylphs which became apparent in the early Spring of 2004. ZS Livingstone has posted numerous essays at this web site about Sylphs and how they can transmute and transform deadly chemtrail toxins into benign, harmless elements. I posted over 90 digital pictures taken on May 13, 2005 which presented a morning-to-dusk photo essay on how Sylphs can overtake chemtrails and literally 'digest' their contents and spit out real, "transmuted" clouds in their wake. I realize this sounds fantastic to the new reader and perhaps hard to believe, but the evidence is there if you are willing to examine it.
I'm reminding you of these accomplishment in order to drive home the point that people like Don and Carol Croft succeed because they have the determination and drive to resist the dark agenda. If they listened to Doom & Gloomers like Steve Quayle, they would have spent all of their time hunkering down in preparation for survival in some distant and remote location. They would have never have driven all over America 'gifting' cell phone towers, underground bases, vortex power spots, and reptilian hives/portals in America and abroad. If they listened to the End Times promoters they would have never discovered just how inept, dumb, impotent, and vulnerable the alphabet agents who work for the Dark Side are -even though they control everything to their advantage: high tech, secret technology, unlimited funding, unlimited access to anything, immunity from arrest, etc., etc.
Remember the story of that little boy called David with a sling throw and a giant warrior called Goliath? The odds were impossible weren't they? How can it be that a small boy with a slingshot could slay a 10 or 12 foot tall battle-hardened warrior (a human/alien hybrid)? He did it because he had the determination to do it and he had the assistance of unseen helpers that aided him. Nothing has changed today. We're dealing with the sort of intimidation, facing the same forces of evil and the same apparently impossible odds, but we can overcome the minions of evil if we possess the will to fight, however, you're not going to develop the determination to blow your nose if you allow yourself to be influenced by doom & gloom promoters like Quayle, Sorcha Faal, or the End Times crowd.

VARIOUS TEXTS: HOW DO YOU SPOT A MODERN GENTLEMAN?
How do you spot a modern gentleman?
By Mark Hedges
Published on June 16 2012 in The TimesOnline
It’s not easy, because they never show off. But you can trace a line back to the English version of a century ago.
In 1912, Country Life wrote that “few words come to convey so beautiful a meaning as that of ‘Gentleman’.” But what was that meaning and — with the world changing faster than a baton handover* in an Olympic relay* — is it possible to have a defining picture of a gentleman in 2012?
There is little difficulty conjuring up* an image of the historic English gentleman. At their finest, this happy band of amateurs invented sports and country pastimes that are now copied all over the world, from football and cricket to fly fishing and driven shooting*. They collected, read, travelled the world and forged defining codes of behaviour. It is their exploits* that are celebrated in a new book published by Country Life.
Being a gentleman takes much more than merely dressing the part: knowing which horse to back in the 3.15 at Sandown, which gun to take to an elephant or a duck and how to sail a model yacht — all are important for the mannered man*. Drawing on material from the magazine’s archives stretching back to the 1890s, we look at English gentleman in all their glorious diversity.
In 1900, the new fashion for tattoos among the English and European aristocracy (partridges* seemed to be very popular on the tummy) caught on. The discomfort of the process was eased by the injection of a mild solution of cocaine under the skin.
The etiquette for crocodile shooting in 1922 was to shoot the sleeping reptile through the eye: not very sporting, but the author adds that “no compunction* need be felt in shooting crocodiles, for where so common it is a constant worry to the natives”.
Poetry finds its place with advice on which Latin verses to murmur as you gallop at a large thorn hedge. Wilde* famously described the country gentleman galloping after a fox as “the unspeakable in full pursuit of the uneatable”, but he failed to realise the genius of the idea in the first place.
And does the gentleman survive in modern Britain? Assuredly he does, though the species is nearly impossible to document properly. Indeed, you would need skills far in excess of David Attenborough’s Planet Earth* team to film one. This is because gentlemen never show off; they would never claim to be a gentleman themselves (that is for others to decide) and they never seek fame.
Yet the happy truth is that they are not merely common, but metamorphosing* into a body that embraces both sexes. The Diamond Jubilee brought out the best in us. We all discovered, albeit fleetingly, the delicious, refined pleasure of talking to strangers, neighbours and friends, helping others and thoroughly enjoying the experience; most importantly of all — that central quality of gentility* — putting others at ease.
The drenched celebrations, from the river pageant to those street parties, illustrated in countless ways the same eccentricities and dogged* pursuit* of pleasure that have always characterised the pursuits of the gentlemen. We will hopefully see yet more evidence of these in the Olympics.
Is it possible, then, that in 2012 we are destined to become a nation of gentlemen? Sadly, there do remain some clearly beyond the pale* of gentility. The story is told of a member of a club in London posting a notice on the board demanding that the nobleman who stole his umbrella at once return it. When a fellow member asked how he knew that the culprit was a noblemen he replied: “Sir, the rules of this club state that it is for noblemen and gentlemen. And no gentleman would have taken my umbrella.”

After writing in different forms throughout the 1880s, he became one of London's most popular playwrights in the early 1890s. Today he is remembered for his epigrams, plays and the circumstances of his imprisonment.

1. What does the picture of the historic gentleman look like?
2. How does the character of a gentleman live on in our modern times?
3. Jane Austen suggests that gentlemen are educated, comfortably well-off and do not work themselves but oversee the work of others and spend their time planning how to marry off their children or seeking to elevate their social standing. Do you think that this type of gentleman still exists today?
4. The author of this text does not believe himself that the British will again become a 'nation of gentlemen'. Support his suggestion by your own knowledge of today's British society.

Explanation on the order of filling of the cargo customs declaration
Explanation on the order ...
Explanations on replenishment of CCD in accordance with the Instruction on the procedure for replenishment of the customs freight declaration, registered by the Ministry of Justice of the Republic of Uzbekistan dated 2016, April 6, № 2773
In connection with the enactment of the Decree of the Ministry of Justice of the Republic of Uzbekistan dated 2016, April 21, No. 2773 on the Procedure for filling of the Customs Cargo Declaration (hereinafter referred to as the Instruction) some questions arise for the procedure of replenishment of some CCD points. To explanation these questions, to ensure that the guidelines are applied correctly, and to avoid any errors or omissions that may be clarified in the future.
According to Paragraph 11 of the Regulations, “in the cases of identification the names of persons, goods, means of transport and other data in Latin or other (Arabic, Chinese, etc.) alphabets’ letters, then such data shall be written in CCD in Latin, names written in Cyrillic alphabet shall be written in Cyrillic.”
For example: the name of the person – “Central Global cargo Gmbh”, “Xinjiang zhongtai chemical co., LTD”, “Маgnetic metallurgical complex”, Kupriyanov Igor Mixaylovich;
name of the vehicle - technical passport or official carriers - Toyota Land Cruiser, BMW 523i, MAN, Камаз, МАЗ;
the brand name – “Mars”, “Adidas”, “Алёнка”, “Русское поле”.
In recent years, special attention is paid to the protection of the right to intellectual property in the world, including the Republic of Uzbekistan. This is also reflected in Section 56 of the Customs Code (Protection of Intellectual Property Rights). Incorporation of this paragraph to the Instruction helps to fully fulfill the tasks assigned to the Customs authorities for the protection of the rights to intellectual property, and also to obtain from the CCD full and accurate information about FEA participants, goods and means of transport
It should be paid a high attention that an appropriate sign commenting that the goods in export regime are made by the exporter or not (“1” or “0” respectively) and for the goods in import regime that the goods are designed for the needs of the consignee or not (“1” or “0” respectively)should be put in CCD in paragraph 43 and not in section 3 of paragraph 1.
In the customs procedure of export and import, special attention should be paid to the fact that there has been a significant change in the order of filling graph- 2 (Exporter / Consigner) and graph- 8 (Importer / Consignee) of the CCD.
Acording to these changes:
- when filling the CCD for the goods under the customs procedure of export, if the goods exporter and the sender of the goods are different persons, ie if the sender sends the goods on the exporter’s behalf, or in other similar cases, in the second column of the CCD, the name of the exporter (the person who commissioned the goods sending) and then the sender's information should be mentioned. This should be done in accordance with the requirements of 2 Sub-Paragraph of 22 paragraph of the Instruction,
- when filling the CCD for the goods under the customs procedure of import, if importer and consignee are different persons, i.e. when the consignee accepts the goods on the importer's or other person's behalf, or in other similar cases, in the 8 column of the CCD, the name of the importer (the person who commissioned the goods delivery) and then the consignee’s information should be mentioned. This should be done in accordance with the requirements of 6- Sub-Paragraph of 22 paragraph of the Instruction.
Also, when placing into customs regimes of Goods Temporary Storage (IM70) and Customs Warehouse (IM74), there may be no data on the importer of the goods (financial regulator, final consumer), so that in these regimes, it is not needed to include the information on the importer of goods in 8 column of CCD.
When filling out the 18th paragraph of the CCD (Freight Forwarding / Delivering Vehicle) in the free circulation (import) customs regime, it is necessary to pay attention to the fact that according to sub-paragraph 14 of paragraph 25 of the Instruction, in column 18 should be given an information about the transport which carried the goods in the customs territory of the Republic of Uzbekistan, i.e. the transport used for delivering goods from the customs border of the Republic of Uzbekistan to the customs authority for placing the goods to customs regime.
For example, the goods were loaded on shipping in Brazil. Later, they were re-loaded in Russia by railway, crossed the customs border of the Republic of Uzbekistan through the railway and came to the Karakalpakiya station. In “Karakalpakiya” station they were re-loaded to vehicle and sent to Arkbulak customs post. At Arkbulak customs post, the goods are placed in a certain customs regime (temporary storage, customs warehouse, free circulation, etc.). In this case, in paragraph 18, information on the vehicle should be displayed.
It should also be noted that some changes have been made in the order of filling the 20th column of the CCD (Delivery Terms). In particular, whendisplaying the information on terms and conditions of delivery of goods,the digital and letter code of the delivery of goods, the geographical point delivery, as well as the letter code of the country where the delivery point is located, if the point of delivery is located on the two countries’ border, letter code of both of them areshown. This adjustment is designed to correctly estimate the statistical value of the goods, and eliminate some of the lawsuits that exist in practice.
The Instruction also specifies the addition of the 30th column. This column will indicate the code of the customs post at the time of the customs clearance of the goods (the post where the goods are placed under the customs inspection or temporary storage or customs warehouse, if the goods are not placed under the customs procedure before) and the location of the goods at the time of submission of the CCD.
If the goods are in the customs warehouse at the time of submission of the CCD, the number and date of the license for formation the customs warehouse should be indicated, regardless of whether they are placed under the customs regime of customs warehouses, temporary storage or not.
Particular attention should be paid to the procedure of filling in graph 31 (freight places and goods description) of the CCD. Changes and additions to this column are intended to provide as accurate and complete information as possible about the good. Given information contained in graph 31 of the CCD is directly related to the correct identification of HS FEA code of goods, correctly marking customs value and correct calculation of customs fees, observance of restrictions on imports and exports of goods, it is important that this paragraph be complied with strict adherence to the instruction. In the Instruction, it is indicated that the graph 31 should contain information on the name, trademark, brand, model, mark, articulation, varieties, standards and other technical and commercial characteristics, quantity and quality of goods, markings, shipping containers, the indicators required for the implementation of economic policy measures and calculating customs fees and other information about the goods.
Also, when filling graph-31, the following is required:
a) the data under “1”, “2”, “4”, “5” of the 31 column of CCD will be displayed on the landing pad for general information directly on the CCD, not in column 31 detalization. In the future, the structure of the column 31 can be improved, based on the requirements of the Instruction and the problems that arise in practice;
b) in the lower left corner of graph-31 Generall classification of organization code of the commodity producer in the export or importer’s code of General Classification of Organization (GCO) will be indicated. If a commodity producer or consumer is unknown, or if they are multiple, the exporter’s or importer’s code of GCO will be displayed. Exporter or importer, is the person responsible for the financial regulation (contract holder), the sender of the consignor, the person who has commissioned the consignee and sender for receiving and exporting goods.
When filling in the 36 th graph of CCD (Preference):
a) if the imported goods are preferential within the framework of the agreement on the sale of the most favored regime in the trade economic relations (import customs duty is charged at the fixed rate), then the code of the import customs duty indicated as – “O”, because of customs payments privileges are not calculated;
b) if the excise tax rate is not set according to the existing normative-legal acts, the code of the excise-tax characteristic shall be indicated as – “O”;
c) if the customs duty is set at the “O” rate against the goods in accordance with the existing normative-legal acts, the code of the corresponding customs payment characteristics indicated as - “O”;
d) if the preferential treatment is applied to the imported goods in accordance with the Agreement on the Free Trade Zone (if the goods are exempted from the import customs duty):
- code of import customs duty set as – “E”;
- VAT payment chracteristics code is also denoted as “E” because of the preferences granted under the import customs duty, because VAT is also partial tax exemptions;
d) the code of customs payments characteristics set as “O”, when goods are exempted from payment of customs duties or their conditional release from payments in accordance with the Customs Code (for example, customs warehouses, customs clearance, re-export, etc.)
e) when exporting the goods in accordance with the customs procedure of export, the code of the customs payments characteristics set as – “O”.
When filling in graph 37 of the CCD:
- the code of the conveyance of goods under the shipment of goods within the framework of the product distribution agreements is – “062”;
- Goods placed under the customs procedure of temporary importation or temporary exportation, and under the customs procedure of import or export of goods after temporary importation or exportation, taking into account their validity period, one of these “023” “024” “123” “223” “124", “224” carry out characteristics codes of carry outwill be set.
In the customs regime of release for free circulation (import), the following amendments are made to the procedure of filling in graph 40 of the CCD.
- about the previous CCD, which was the basis for placing goods under another customs procedure, if the goods were placed under another customs procedure before, than the one indicated in;
- if there was no CCD for goods before, information on delivery control documents (shipping checkbook, IRT booklet), which is the basis for delivery of goods to the customs authority for customs clearance of goods, should be written in column in the order established by the Instruction.
When filling in graph 44 of CCD (Additional information / documents), attention should be paid to: information on every document subject to CCD replenishment should be indicated, according to the 12 appendix of the Instruction, with the serial number and letter of the document in accordance with the classification of documents and data types used for filling in the Cargo Declaration.
Additionally, when completing graph 44, attention should be paid to the following:
a) If the goods are transported under the Product Sharing Agreement (PSA), the product sharing agreement and the contract (contract) for the supply (import) of goods are displayed separately in two CCD graph 44 under the number “301” with “contract” code;
b) Documents and information used in filling in CCD, but not contained in Classification in appendix 12 of the Instruction, shall be indicated in graph 44 under the number 899 and “Other Documents” code. In this case, the full name of the document can be displayed on the reserved place for comments in the electronic version.
When filling in graph 46, it should be noted that the statistical value of the goods should be expressed in thousand USD and should be rounded to three-digit accuracy
In order to solve some problems that arise in practice, some changes have been made to the order of filling in graph 54 (Date and location).
In addition to this column:
- for the purpose of confirming the agreement between the customs broker and the declarant (cargo owner)to indicate the number and date of the agreement between the customs broker and the declarant;
- In practice, there are cases when several CCDs have been registered due to technical errors for one product, in order to prevent such cases in the future, the specialist will specify the number assigned to the CCD given.
For example, a customs clearance specialist sent a ССD to a customs post under a registered number (000012). After a while the expert found out that there was a mistake in the CCD. In this case, the specialist should correct the mistake and send the CCD to the customs post with the same number (000012). In this case, the Automated data processing system program:
- If the CCD is not distributed or not registered, it automatically substitutes the previous CCD to the "repaid" status and accepts the CCD, as appropriate;
- If the CCD is registered, the specialist will receive a relevant notice. In this case, the specialist must apply to the customs post in accordance with the established procedure.
In accordance with Paragraph 35 of the Instruction, the return of goods placed under the customs procedure of temporary import, will be carried out in accordance with the customs re-export procedure.
In accordance with paragraph 39 of the Instruction, the return of goods placed under the customs procedure of temporary exportation is made according to the customs re-import procedure.
When placing goods under the customs procedure of customs warehouse, the issue of determining the customs value of goods and replenishment of column 45 of the CCD has been the subject of debates for a long time.
The customs value of the commodity - defined as the commodity value used for the calculation of customs payments by the legislation (Article 106 of the previous Customs Code and Article 301 of the new Customs Code), but when placing goods under the customs warehouse, in most cases, the necessary documents are sufficient and it was not possible to determine the customs value. So these were the reasons of such disputes.
Therefore, in order to eliminate such disputes, 2 sub-paragraph of paragraph 45 of the Instruction, stipulates that the invoice value indicated in graph 42 of the CCD, shall be determined as the customs value of the commodity and be indicated in graph 45 of the same CCD filling in customs warehouse regime.
When processing goods outside the customs territory, attention should be paid to the followings:
The return of products of exported goods for processing outside and their waste to the customs territory after reproducing outside the customs territory regime, are subject to free circulation customs regime (import) (Article 53 of the Customs Code and paragraph 72 of the Instruction);
Return of the commodities exported for reproducing outside the customs territory and their remains are subject to the customs regime of re-import (Article 52 of the Customs Code and paragraph 74 of the Instruction).
Exportation of reproduced products, goods and their waste, imported for re-processing on the customs territory is carried out according to the re-export customs regime (Article 32 of the Customs Code and paragraph 79 of the Instruction).
According to the appendix to the Decree of the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Uzbekistan from April 30, 1999 № 204 “About rates of customs fees” the customs clearance fee for goods:
а) “processing on customs territory” at the rate of 0.1% of the cost of services on producing goods, but not less than 50% of the minimum monthly wage;
b) “processing outside the customs territory” at the rate of 0.2% of the cost of services for the producing of goods, but not less than the minimum monthly wage.
Based on the above, taking into account the fact that the processing of goods (no payment) is free, and services for processing is free of charge, the customs clearance fee is calculated based on the minimum wage.
As the number of graphs for indicating values in the CCD is limited, the value of operations on processing of goods into the customs regime of free circulation (import) after the customs regime of outside processing may be reflected in graph 31. At the same time, according to paragraph 73 of the Instruction, following should be indicated: the value of the services for processing on graph 42, the customs value of the commodity taking into account the cost of processing on graph 45, the calculated statistical value based on the customs value of the goods on graph 46.
In accordance with sub-paragraph 1 of the Paragraph 74 of the Instruction, reimporting under the re-import regime of goods and their remains placed under the customs procedure of outward processing on graph 42 of CCD in export operations currency, in the graph 31 the value of the services for the processing of the declared goods, regardless the processing has been carried out or not should be indicated.
This procedure is made to ensure smooth accountability of contracts at FTOUAES (Foreign trade operation of Unified autometed electronic system).

The Pub Curmudgeon - Is time up for "24-hour drinking"?
Thread: The Pub Curmudgeon - Is time up for "24-hour drinking"?
Visit The Pub Curmudgeon site
The new government are planning to review the operation of the 2003 Licensing Act in response to concerns about the disorder caused by so-called �24-hour drinking�. But, in reality, there�s no such thing as 24-hour drinking � it�s just a typical piece of Daily Mail scaremongering. I�d be surprised if there was a single pub or bar in the country that actually was open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for the sale of alcohol. It�s also a misconception that these problems have only developed after 2005 when the Act came into operation. Before then, plenty of pubs in town and city centres already had extended hours, while nightclubs were open until 3 am, and there was no shortage of alcohol-related disorder on the streets. From what I�ve read, the general experience of senior police officers has been that things are no worse than they were before, albeit a bit more spread out through the small hours.
Personally I gain very little from the extension of licensing hours, and there are probably only a couple of occasions each year when I take advantage of being able to have a drink in a pub after 11 pm. The ending of afternoon closing in the 1980s made much more of a difference to me. But it would be a seriously retrograde step to revert to generalised 11 pm closing, and that caused problems of its own with crushes and fights at kebab shops and taxi ranks. Certainly in my experience it�s certainly much easier to get a cab home from the pub at closing time than it used to be.
The problem is not in the hours themselves but in our toxic drinking culture that perversely stigmatises moderate drinking while celebrating gross excess. It is no longer, as it once was, seen as a point of pride to be able to �hold your drink�. Maybe the answer is for the police to make more use of the powers they already have to bang people up in the cells overnight for being drunk and disorderly. Once the word got around, that would send a salutary message to weekend revellers to keep their drinking under control.
And it has to be said that you never see any of this disorder associated with pubs specialising in cask ales and craft beers � perhaps if people were encouraged to take more of an interest in what they were drinking they would have a more responsible attitude towards it.

Who will win in Santa Ana’s Special Election this Tuesday?
Posted on November 3, 2019 by Editor Posted in 2019 Elections, Beatriz Mendoza, Brandon Sisco, Carolyn Torres, Cecilia Aguinaga, Civic Affairs, David Benavides, Elections, Gale Oliver Jr., Gisela Contreras, Jennifer Oliva, Manuel Escamilla, Phil Bacerra, Roman Reyna, Santa Ana, SAUSD 4 Comments
You don’t get a consolation prize when you run for office. You either win or lose. After many weeks of politicking a number of local Santa Ana candidates will discover their fate this Tuesday, Nov. 5, when the combined Santa Ana City Council and SAUSD School Board Special Election finally comes to fruition.
So who will win these seats?
Let’s take a look first at how we arrived at this moment. The City Council seat, in Ward 4, opened up after the incumbent, Roman Reyna, was sued in civil court by the candidate he defeated last November, Phil Bacerra. Reyna it seems moved into Ward 4 but fudged his campaign paperwork. Eventually he was charged by the OCDA and he was indicted and fined a half million dollars! He had to resign from the City Council and promise never to run for local office again.
Manny Escamilla
Bacerra is the leading candidate to replace Reyna. Other challengers include former Santa Ana planner Manny Escamilla, former Planning Commissioner Beatriz Mendoza, business owners Jennifer Oliva and Brandon Sisco, and Bishop Gale Oliver Jr.
Escamilla’s base is the left-wing of the Democratic Party, essentially those who support the likes of Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren. While those voters are fired up they are small in number and given to not voting.
Mendoza used to work for U.S. Rep. Loretta Sanchez. She has the support of the same people that supported Reyna last year. She is a single mom and the campaign has been very tough on her.
Brandon Sisco
Sisco is an outlier. He does not seem to be spending any money on his campaign. I am not sure why he is even running. But he seems to be having fun in the process.
Bishop Oliver Jr. is getting a lot of support from conservatives in the area. There are a lot of folks walking precincts with him. However he has not run for office before and presumably his name I.D. is low. Perhaps voters will be moved to vote for a minister?
Oliva is getting some help from the local police union, the Santa Ana Police Officers Association. So she has sent out some mail and has signs up. This is her first campaign too. Council Member David Penaloza has endorsed her and she serves him on our Arts Commission.
Bacerra however has a big advantage as he was on the November ballot last year and he remains popular in north Santa Ana. Like Escamilla, he is a college graduate and a planner by trade. He has served on the Planning Commission and he has plenty of contacts, here in Santa Ana and also up in Sacramento. He will benefit from the fact that these types of elections tend to have low turnouts that favor older voters. That’s his base!
If I was a betting man I would bet on Bacerra to pull this one out.
David Benavides and Roman Reyna
The SAUSD is also holding a Special Election after their former Trustee, Cecilia Iglesias, got elected to the Santa Ana City Council last year. The SAUSD Trustees were unable to figure out who to appoint to replace Iglesias so now we get to vote for a replacement.
The candidates include Iglesias’ longtime friend and ally, Gisela Contreras, former City Councilman David Benavides, Anaheim public schoolteacher Carolyn Torres, and Housing Commissioner/Realtor Cecilia Aguinaga.
Supporters of Bishop Gale Oliver Jr. and Gisela Contreras
The same folks walking for Bishop Oliver Jr. are also walking for Contreras. She is the only candidate who fully supports parental choice in education. This is her first campaign but she has the full endorsement and support of Council Member Cecilia Iglesias, a veteran of many elections.
Benavides was once married to a local schoolteacher but he divorced her a few years ago, when he was running for Mayor of Santa Ana. He heads up a local nonprofit, Kidworks, that is definitely in the education arena however he is what he appears to be – a career politician looking for his next gig.
Torres is cut from the same liberal cloth as Escamilla. You can expect her to promote the teacher’s union, oppose school choice (charter schools) and support new taxes and bond measures.
Aguinaga worked for the SAUSD many years ago. She has been involved in Santa Ana politics and community affairs for a long time. She has run a few times for the SAUSD School Board. This time around the local police union has funded several effective campaign mailers for her. However she is not walking precincts and will depend on the mailers and her existing name I.D.
This race is a tough one to call. Benavides has the highest name I.D. but he is covered in Roman Reyna stink and that will scare off a lot of voters. Torres is too liberal for what is a moderate community but her ballot designation is a good one. She is the only teacher on the ballot. Contreras is working hard but has few funds and is relying on grassroots support. Aguinaga has come close before. Perhaps this time she will finally win?
So who are you voting for?
Carolyn Torres Santa Ana
Ward 4 candidate Manny Escamilla is winning on Facebook but who will win on Nov. 5?
Posted on October 12, 2019 by Editor Posted in 2019 Elections, Beatriz Mendoza, Civic Affairs, Elections, Gale Oliver Jr., Jennifer Oliva, Manuel Escamilla, Phil Bacerra, Politics, Santa Ana 6 Comments
Have you decided who you will vote for in the upcoming Nov. 5 Santa Ana City Council, Ward 4, Special Election?
The race features several candidates with widely varied experiences. Almost all of them have some civic experience as well.
Elections have really changed in Santa Ana, which is a tough town to run in because so many of the newer residents have a tendency to move from city to city. This is a city dominated by Latino residents but Latino voters don’t always bother to vote.
As this is a Special Election I expect the overall voter turnout will be extremely low. Older voters can be expected to vote – particularly those who are worried about the direction the city is going in.
There are several candidates who are basing their campaign on getting young people out to vote, including former Santa Ana planning agency employee Manny Escamilla and Arts Commissioner Jennifer Oliva. But those voters often don’t vote.
Escamilla is also spending a lot of time garnering support from Santa Ana’s older voters, as you can see on his Facebook page. Smart move!
The candidate with the biggest advantage is former Planning Commissioner Phil Bacerra, who lost a close race to Roman Reyna last November. However Reyna quickly got into big trouble because he tried to carpetbag in Ward 4 and he bungled getting an address in the Ward in time. Quite frankly the City Clerk should never have allowed him to get onto the ballot.
Bacerra has several advantages. He has the highest name I.D. in the current race. While he is a Democrat he is popular with the city’s Republican voters. And he has garnered a lot of support in Ward 4 from residents who are mad about perceived over-development in the city.
But how are these candidates doing on Facebook? Oliva’s Facebook page only has 296 followers. Escamilla’s Facebook page has 851 followers. Bacerra’s Facebook page has 448 followers.
There is also a candidate who moved into Ward 4 fairly recently, former Planning Commissioner Beatriz Mendoza. Her Facebook page has 538 followers.
Mendoza has even less followers than the relatively unknown businessman Brandon Sisco, who is also running for Ward 4. His Facebook page has 125 followers.
There is one more candidate in the Ward 4 race – Bishop Gale Oliver Jr., who also heads up a church in town. His Facebook page has 322 followers.
Who will win in Santa Ana’s Ward 4 Special Election this November?
Posted on August 18, 2019 by Editor Posted in 2019 Elections, Beatriz Mendoza, Brandon Sisco, Civic Affairs, David Benavides, Democratic Party, Elections, Gale Oliver Jr., Jennifer Oliva, Manuel Escamilla, Phil Bacerra, Politics, Roman Reyna, Santa Ana Leave a comment
All of the candidates for Santa Ana’s Ward 4 are Democrats except for Bishop Gale Oliver Jr., who is an independent. Special Elections are generally low turnout affairs. Democrats in Santa Ana are infamous for not voting in such elections. So who has the edge this time around?
There are no Republicans in this race. That figures as only 22.6% of Santa Ana’s voters are Republicans. They have no pull in our city any more.
But the Democrats don’t quite have total control yet either as only 53.4% of the voters are from the blue party. The rest of the voters, 20.6%, are Decline to State or third party voters.
So if the Democrats don’t bother to vote the Independent and GOP voters could prevail – if they get behind one candidate.
The race for Ward 4 however is a crowded affair. Here is how the candidates break down:
Phil Bacerra – While he is a Democrat he is a moderate and he has a lot of support from Republican voters in Santa Ana including several former City Council Members. He is a former Santa Ana Planning Commissioner who barely lost to Reyna last time around. Check out his website here.
Beatriz Mendoza – She is a liberal Democrat who was once a staffer to U.S. Rep. Loretta Sanchez. Mendoza has previously run for the SAUSD School Board. Her campaign has already goofed on Facebook – referring to former City Councilman David Benavides as the interim Ward 5 Council Member. He is not serving in that role!
Brandon Sisco – Another Democrat. I have no idea why he is running. Perhaps this is a vanity campaign? His website claims that at 15 assisted the FBI. He owns a company called Android Genius. Their Yelp reviews are very entertaining! Another website claims he is a real estate developer.
Bishop Oliver Gale, Jr. – He is an independent. He heads up the Greater Light Family Church, located at 1600 W. 3rd St. in Santa Ana. Council Member Ceci Iglesias has endorsed him.
Manuel Escamilla – He is a liberal Democrat. That means he and Mendoza will be fighting over the same voters! And those are precisely the voters who don’t show up in Special Elections. I can’t believe that he quit the City of Santa Ana’s Planning Department in order to run for Ward 4. Bad move I think.
Jennifer Oliva – She is an Arts and Culture Commissioner in Santa Ana. She was appointed by Councilman David Penaloza. During her interview with the City Council, when they were trying to figure out who to replace Reyna with, she talked a lot about the youth and education.
I expect that Mendoza and Escamilla are going to split the liberal votes – hurting both of them. Mendoza and Oliva will also split many of the woman votes. Mendoza also appears to be the candidate favored by the pro-Reyna faction. I don’t think it is a positive thing to be associated in any way with Reyna, who may still end up getting prosecuted by the OCDA for his campaign shenanigans.
Councilwoman Ceci Iglesias believes that Bishop Gale Jr. will prevail because of the vote splits. However the voters don’t know who he is so that seems like a tall order. Iglesias does run a great ground game however. She will also promote Gale Jr. at area churches. That is how she got elected to the City Council in the last election. She too benefited from a vote split when her two Democratic opponents knocked each other out.
Bacerra however has several huge advantages:
He got over 23,000 votes last November! If the same voters turnout for him again the race is over.
His opponent in the 2018 election, Roman Reyna, got over 29,000 votes but those will now be split among several opponents.
Bacerra already has campaign signs up in town and he is advertising here on this blog. His opponents? Asleep at the wheel.
He is immensely popular in north Santa Ana as he has taken a stand against an apartment development that has upset many residents.
Yes it is true that Bacerra was attacked last year by an ex-girlfriend who alleged that he abused her but she has since been generally discredited and the FPPC is investigating who funded the attack video she was featured in. On a personal note I knew them when they were dating and never saw him act rudely towards her. She is also allied with the most extreme liberals in Santa Ana. And it was fairly obvious that her attack was designed to help Bacerra’s opponent, Reyna.
Bacerra also has the support of the last African American City Council Member to hold office in Santa Ana – Alberta Christy, who was also a major figure in the OC GOP.
If I was a betting man I would say that Bacerra is going to win this race easily. And when the local Democrats endorse one of his opponents it will backfire as that party will only back a candidate who supports distribution of drug needles in our city. Reyna did. So will the next candidate the O.C. Democrats endorse. That won’t fly with most voters in our city.
Why would we support a candidate who wants to hand out drug needles to the addicted homeless mob in our city? The Democratic Party endorsement will as such be the kiss of death!
Beatriz Mendoza Santa Ana
Six candidates have applied to replace Roman Reyna on the Santa Ana City Council
Posted on March 17, 2019 by Editor Posted in 2018 elections, Civic Affairs, Elections, Gale Oliver Jr., Jennifer Oliva, Jose Solorio, Ken Nguyen, Maricela Vallejo, Phil Bacerra, Phillip Ortiz Jr., Roman Reyna, Santa Ana, Vince Sarmiento 2 Comments
Six people applied to replace former Santa Ana City Councilman Roman Reyna by the deadline at noon Tuesday, March 12, according to the O.C. Register.
The candidates include:
Phil Bacerra (D), a former Santa Ana Planning Commissioner who sued Reyna after the November election on the grounds that Reyna screwed up his campaign paperwork and never should have been allowed on the ballot. Phil was right!
Kenneth Khanh Nguyen (No Party Preference – NPP), a Santa Ana Planning Commissioner
Jennifer Oliva (D), a Santa Ana Arts and Culture Commissioner
Gale Oliver, Jr. (No Party Preference – NPP), a Baptist bishop
Phillip Ortiz, Jr. (No Party Preference – NPP), an Internet installer
Maricela Vallejo (No Party Preference – NPP), a Santa Ana Personnel Board Member
Our position is that Reyna’s seat should go to Bacerra, who was cheated out of victory last year. To make matters worse, Bacerra was smeared by Reyna’s supporters in what was perhaps the ugliest campaign we have ever seen. The fair thing to do would be to appoint Bacerra. This is particularly true as he is one of only two Asian candidates being considered by the City Council.
Apparently Council Members Jose Solorio and Vince Sarmiento are favoring the other Asian candidate, Kenneth “Ken” Khang Nguyen, who was successfully sued by Novell for copyright infringement back in 1997, because of a software piracy scheme. Nguyen is an affable fellow but it is likely that he is favored because he will go along to get along – and Solorio allegedly wants a candidate who will do his bidding.
I have met Bishop Gale Oliver before. He is very engaging. He has his hands full with his congregation though. While the City Council job is a part-time position it actually turns out to be almost full time – as any of our current City Council Members can attest.
I don’t know Jennifer Oliva or Maricela Vallejo but they are, like Nguyen, both City Commissioners. And we certainly could use more women on our City Council as currently only one City Council Member, Ceci Iglesias, is a woman.
My guess is that the City Council will not be able to muster four votes for any of these candidates. It is likely that we are headed for a Special Election that will take place in November, at the same time as the upcoming SAUSD Special election.

Response shift masks the treatment impact on patient reported outcomes (PROs): the example of individual quality of life in edentulous patients
Ring, Lena; Höfer, Stefan; Heuston, Frank; Harris, David; O'Boyle, Ciaran
https://epubs.rcsi.ie/psycholart/4
<p>This article is available from <a href="http://www.hqlo.com/content/3/1/55" target="_blank">http://www.hqlo.com/content/3/1/55</a></p> <p>Background: Quality of life (QoL) is now established as an important outcome for evaluating the impact of disease, and for assessing the efficacy of treatments. However, individuals change with time and the basis on which they make a QoL judgement may also change, a phenomenon increasingly referred to as response shift. Here, the individual may change his or her internal standards, values, and/or conceptualization on the target construct as a result of external factors such as a treatment or a change in health status. This has important implications for assessing the effects of treatments as a change in QoL may reflect a response shift, a treatment effect, or a complex combination of both. In this study, we used an individualised quality of life (IQoL) measure, the SEIQoL, together with a then-test to determine whether response shift would influence the measurement of treatment efficacy in edentulous patients. Methods: Data are reported here for the first phase of a randomised controlled clinical trial designed to assess the impact, on IQoL, of implant supported dentures compared with high quality conventional dentures. IQoL was measured using the SEIQoL-DW in 117 patients (mean age 64.8; 32% male) at baseline (T1) and 3 months (T2) after receiving high quality conventional dentures. The work was carried out in dental teaching hospitals in Dublin and Belfast. Results: Unadjusted SEIQoL index scores revealed no significant impact of treatment at three months (baseline: 75.0; 3 months: 73.2, p = .33, n.s.). However, the then-test at 3 months revealed that patients retrospectively rated their baseline IQoL as significantly lower (P < .001) than they had rated it at the time (then-test baseline: 69.2). Comparison of the 3 month scores with this readjusted baseline indicated a significant treatment effect (then-test baseline: 69.2; 3 months: 73.2, p = 0.016). 81% of patients nominated at least one different IQoL domain at 3 months. Conclusion: The positive impact of denture treatment for edentulous patients on IQoL was seen only when response shifts were taken into consideration. The nature of the response shifts was highly complex but the data indicated a degree of re-conceptualisation and reprioritisation. Assessment of the impact of treatments using patient-generated reports must take account of the adaptive nature of patients.</p>

Wolverine debuts bloody, depressing new trailer for Logan
Hugh Jackman is ready to hang up his Wolverine claws – but he’s not going out without a fight.
The new trailer for Logan, the third and final Wolverine movie, is released today, and it highlights a bloody last go-around for Jackman and his formerly side-burned hero.
Set 25 years after the end of Days of Future Past, the new film finds Logan working as a limo driver in Texas trying to escape his past as his age, debilitating healing abilities and death-filled life catch up with him.
When Logan ends up in Mexico, he reunites with Professor X (Patrick Stewart) and they find themselves defending a young girl, Laura Kinney, from a group of Ravagers looking to get to her.
“She needs our help,” says the Professor.
“Someone will come along,” Logan, reluctant to return to his super-ways, replies.
“Someone has come along.”
Logan combines the Old Man Logan comic storyline with that of X-23, a female clone of Logan’s with similar abilities.
The appearance of X-23 was teased in X-Men: Apocalypse in a post credits scene, when vials of Logan’s blood were taken away by the mysterious Essex Corporation.
While the trailer packs in a lot of blood, with both Wolverine and X-23 killing multiple enemies with their claws, it also shows that it will mark an emotional end to Logan’s story that started with 2000’s X-Men.
“This is what life looks like. People who love each other, a home. You should take a moment, feel it. You still have time,” Professor X says over the brutal violence.
It is the first Wolverine movie to have a R-rating, and comes after the success of fellow mutant movie Deadpool, which became the highest grossing R-rated movie of all time.
Logan co-stars Boyd Holbrook, Richard E Grant and Stephen Merchant.
It is released in New Zealand cinemas on March 2.

Infrastructure as a field enables the storage and circulation of objects and energies, the mobility of populations, the communication of images, texts, sounds, the rendering of the world as information and data; and infrastructures work at different speeds and durations, including the possibilities of infrastructural decay, of breakdowns, stoppages, close-downs. Early Sarai work in this area considered the history of cable and cable television, and of the planning, layout and changing commodity life of media markets in Delhi. We also looked at the institutions of film distribution, delivery and exhibition, the transformation of listening cultures through audio cassettes and audio files, the legal architectures of regulation and media piracy. In the recent past researchers have worked on electronics and computing, the public life of sound, and a new emphasis on technologies of the voice, the longer history and the contemporary focus on its machinic rendering and analysis in health care, crowd and commuter management, in voice recognition and as legal evidence. Infrastructures are not only functional, they have aesthetic dimensions, laying claim to public attention, excitement and immersion: from the monumentality of dams, irrigation canals, rail, road and air-travel, through the architectural attractions of built environment and sensory experience of light and sound and air, and the aesthetics of digital interfaces. Sarai research has tracked infrastructural histories through multiple archives and sites, from the governmental archive, technical and educational institutions, media companies and data consultancies, courts of law, personal collections, field work and oral history.

Since the end of the last decade we have seen the expansion of planetary computational systems and a new global hype about data-led transformations. We have seen multiple efforts to transform all modes of data collection, organization, storage, mining, analytics and visualization. Data-driven knowledge production is primarily rooted in a meshed network of concepts from statistics, cybernetics, micro to planetary scale computing and information flows, standardisation, classification and statecraft innovations. Not surprisingly social data has been significant to the constitution and circulation of data-driven models; this is the data collected and generated by governments, academia, businesses including technology companies, and civil society organisations pertaining to education, health, development, poverty, public behaviour. The first foci of Sarai’s work on data explored the historical and emergent conditions of data-driven, statistical and computational knowledge production in the social sector. The global hype on data-led growth has now waned, revealing new structures of surveillance, uneven information systems, and disjunctions between the materialities of paper records and digital interfaces – all questions raised in Sarai’s research.
The second part of Sarai’s interest in data is the connection to the ecological conditions of media. These include the informational questions of climate debates, demanding historical, cross-disciplinary, philosophical and creative interventions. Data interacts and intervenes in existing environments through sensors, media systems of photography and satellite surveillance. The media questions of anthropogenic environments have come up in Sarai conferences and debates, and remain a key interest for us.
Finally, we are interested in data’s place in the new experience of media. Many now access cinema and television through mobile phones. These coexist with phone applications like Whatsapp and Tiktok which circulate clips, memes and user performance pieces that reference multiple media experiences. In turn, now software platforms harvest user data, gadget sensors (GPS, camera and audio information) relay information to cloud systems while constantly intervening and curating user experiences. The questions thrown up by this emerging landscape will form part of Sarai’s interest in data in the coming decade.

The Case of the Missing Data
In its attention to multiple temporalities and histories of media, Sarai’s research has been archeological from its inception. Sarai’s early project Publics and Practices in the History of the Present was a good example, with research ranging across cinema, video, digital media, print and sound. There was engagement with practices thrown up by the present alongside media considered obsolete, and our work generated a great variety of forms, from focused mailing lists, research posts, academic articles, wall papers, broadsheets and books to conferences and experimental forms of art and media practice. Our archaeological approach to the contemporary is highlighted in recent conferences and informs current projects such as Objects, Media Practices, Aesthetics and Politics, relating to the media history of advertising and publicity, to our work on crowds, media and democracy, and on media in times of war.
Approached through the prism of archaeology, time may appear remarkably indifferent to the logic of linear succession and technological obsolescence. Social media today, the sheer speed and virality of circulation of texts, images, sounds through heavily decentred and dispersed technologies of reception appears unprecedented; and yet we may turn back to recall the social panics that accompanied the printing press and mass print culture, opening out not only the sacred text but unsettling hierarchies through the circulation of critical and scurrilous writing. “Old” media rests within the armature of the new. Even as digital culture burgeons, analog video is used by a subaltern population in Malegaon, a power loom weaving township in Maharastra, to fashion an amateur cinema culture. As migratory subaltern populations use cellphones for their work, they make up for limited internet access by going to mobile repair and accessory shops to upload songs and video clips which will reproduce their ties to cultures of orality and the folk. As research into data analytics at Sarai has shown, the bid to introduce analytics through new ways of organising, storing, and computing nevertheless rests on local networks and intermediaries of information-gathering and on paper-writing systems. Satellite broadcasting and internet access appear to free communication from older exhibition logics requiring the cumbersome infrastructures of transportation, assembly and projection; and yet, we continue to see the virtual made present through mobile vans, screens and projectors, harking back to colonial times, mobile film screenings and the physical congregation of audiences. Our experience suggests a looser, less determinate relationship amongst technologies and publics, an archaeology which reconfigures old and new in a complex braiding of experience

Sarai research has looked at the interface between law and media for almost two decades. We are particularly interested in the media-technological conditions of the legal event. Law is a dynamic intermedia junction producing media events, forensic theatres and technologies of judicial record keeping and circulation. The legal trial has been a productive site for the constitution of media practices. Sarai researchers have followed questions emerging in law courts, forensic departments, cyber-labs and police stations. Sarai has supported research on social media and internet related technology and hosted debates around privacy, surveillance, and evidentiary standards. Sarai events on these issues range from our first landmark conference Censor-Census-Censor in 2006 to the Act of Media Workshop in 2016.
The first decade of Sarai research looked at how copyright, property and piracy, regulatory regimes and their circumvention, shaped the experience of media technology in the everyday. We have also been interested in questions of media censorship, forms of speech and expression, publicity and circulation. In recent years we have seen how the older models of media censorship have been overtaken by new players and techniques. We now have non-state actors involved in propaganda, publicity and misinformation; and transnational media companies like Facebook have transformed conditions of expression and circulation with apps used by millions in India. Apps are not governed by constitutional legal systems but closed technological protocols, yet they affect public expression in a significant way. Sarai researchers have tracked some of these questions and are also interested in hate speech and the management of information online, both by states and independent political actors.

The objective of this study is to examine the possibility of orientating children to become interested in entrepreneurship through the activities they do at home. The youths are often blamed for being idle, lazy and drug addicts, yet parents make little effort towards orienting them to be entrepreneurial. Earlier studies in entrepreneurship claim that [1-2] entrepreneurship is never complete without mentioning “intrapreneurship”. Intrapreneurship knowledge is said to come from practical experiences. A home has the capability and capacity to offer such knowledge to children. Data was gathered through interview with entrepreneurs who left school from primary, secondary schools and universities and started businesses to evaluate whether there is a relationship between the activities that children developed interest in, in their early age at home with their current businesses. The result suggests a relationship between children’s activities at home and entrepreneurial engagement as grownups. Many of the interviewees, however, bemoaned the fact that their parents admonished them from pursuing activities that they had interest in, and now they are just trying to recollect what they had shied away from for long, trying to develop it into entrepreneurial activities. They regret the fact that their parents and their communities did not give them the encouragement they needed to realise their dreams. This study has implications to parents, community members and policy makers to always appreciate children’s interest, initiatives and encourage them to pursue it.

Seattle Symphony Is Making Music Matter
Under Ludovic Morlot, Seattle Symphony Orchestra has expanded its repertoire and community outreach, and the programming just this month has shown the artists involved are enthusiastic and up to the task.
Thomas May
Posted on February 11, 2017, 12:15 pm
Say goodbye to ivory towers.
So far this month, the Seattle Symphony Orchestra (SSO) and music director Ludovic Morlot have presented three widely varied programs. Two of these addressed red-hot current events that would have seemed surprising in the middle of a “normal” concert season not too long ago.
But then, we aren’t living in “normal” times.
In fact, serious change has been afoot ever since Morlot began his tenure helming the SSO a half decade ago. Much of the transformation has to do with artistic programming, as you’d expect. One prong of this shift is an emphasis on masterpieces of the (especially modern) repertoire that had gotten short shrift or simply been ignored in Seattle.
Another prong is the symphony’s bold commissioning venture, which presents an impressive range of composers at work today. A few years ago, Morlot and the orchestra struck gold when they commissioned a genuinely original voice, John Luther Adams, to write the epic orchestral work Become Ocean. It won a Pulitzer and a Grammy, and seems to channel the Zeitgeist in its mesmerizing suggestion of global apocalypse.
New Roles for a 21st-Century Orchestra
Another change in programming is the creation of events that make the symphony more accessible, such as the [untitled] concerts. These are held a few times a season, late on Friday evenings. Guests enjoy a mix of cocktails and heady modernist and post-modernist fare in a relaxed lounge atmosphere.
The dependably sold-out “Sonic Evolution” adventures promote a dialogue between the orchestra and voices from Seattle’s popular music traditions. (E.g. Did you happen to catch the 2014 viral YouTube video of Sir Mix-A-Lot performing an orchestral version of “Baby Got Back” with Morlot, the SSO and a lively group of spontaneous dancers from the audience?)
The SSO also goes into the community to offer its art, from mentoring projects in the schools to chamber performances in local prisons.
As one of the city’s most prestigious performing arts institutions, with a history dating back to 1903, the SSO could try to rest on its laurels and just keep playing the classic repertoire. But it’s clear now to anyone with an interest in this side of the music business that such an approach is no longer sustainable. Some institutions prefer the comfort of inertia, holding off on necessary change until the last minute. The SSO, in contrast, has enthusiastically embraced its role as a catalyst for change—well knowing that, as with any creative process, this entails some awkward results along the way.
The Homeless Respond to Charles Ives
February began with two concerts from SSO’s “masterworks” program that also integrated one of its community partnership programs in a remarkably beautiful and original way. The first half of the bill was a substantial four-panel series written by Charles Ives between 1897 and 1913, which depicts his memories of New England Holidays. The second half was a concert staple by Beethoven, the last of his five piano concertos, known as the Emperor, and with a classical music star, Emanuel Ax, as the soloist.
It was Ives’ work that was given a local touch in the shows on February 2 and 4. In his composition, Ives set about evoking images of the community as he recalled it growing up in 19th-century New England. SSO invited voices from Seattle’s community to be part of this re-creation, but instead of the voices we usually hear, the focus was on the ones that tend to get ignored.
SSO has a stated commitment to engage with people in transitional housing or without homes, and last fall SSO partnered with three community nonprofit organizations to engage individuals through a series of workshops and discussions. Participants were invited by Seattle Civic Poet Claudia Castro Luna, SSO Teaching Artist Becky Aitken and other SSO staff, and UW music professor (and Charles Ives scholar) Larry Starr to share their own narratives and responses to the music by Ives. They expressed their reactions by creating visual illustrations, which were projected during the performance along with photo portraits. Luna also read a quartet of poems, one each to preface the four movements, which she wrote following these interactions.

A French Take on Ives’ Americana
Morlot is an Ives enthusiast, and with his French background he brings a fascinating angle to this quintessential American maverick. New England Holidays are far from straightforward patriotic hymns to a vanished era. Rather—and this is exactly what Morlot’s interpretation underscored—they are multilayered, blending exuberance, nostalgia and a peculiar and pensive melancholy that tends to linger well after the brash outbursts.
They’re really about psychological time, the psychology of a community in which many voices coexist. It’s revealing to compare this composer’s use of “Americana” as thematic material to the nationalistic trends in Europe of the time (such as the celebrations of Czech idioms in the music of Dvořák).
Ives’ use of fragmentation and collage—especially evident in his treatment of “Decoration Day” and his boyhood memories of “The Fourth of July”—provokes a far more complex emotional response. The collage principle can work horizontally, as patches placed one next to the other, or vertically, piled simultaneously according to Ives’s gritty polyphonic sensibility.
Details were exquisite, with hints of Mahler and Debussy, as in the subliminal timpani roll just before the emergence of “Taps” in “Decoration Day.” But I can’t say Morlot succeeded in convincing me of an overarching unity, even though Ives later decided the four parts should be regarded as a symphony. The one thread that seemed to work was the recurrence of certain effects: the suspended time of the openings, the even more impressive fade-outs to flickering memories.
This was the context in which we then heard the concerto by Beethoven, whose “strong” voice made him an idol of Ives.
Ax on Beethoven
Emanuel Ax always has something interesting to say with this music. He’s something of a jack-of-all-trades in the sense that he’s able to be extroverted, or “poetic,” or super-refined as the occasion calls for it. There was no mannered exaggeration of any particular aspect at the February 2 concert. The famous opening trio of cadenzas, for example, avoided being overly solemn or portentous, but sounded youthful and ready for action, keeping the playing field open, as it were, for a variety of interpretive directions.
Ax is also a natural chamber player, and there were memorable moments of interaction with the SSO, including a breathtaking duet with flutist Jeffrey Barker in the slow movement. However, I wished for some more aggressive push and shaping on the orchestra’s part in the outer movements.
Still, Morlot presided over some telling details (an exciting scrubbing from the strings just before the marvelous moment of recapitulation in the massive first movement). Ax treated the audience to an encore that still rings in my head, spinning out Chopin’s F-sharp Nocturne from Op. 15.
Music Beyond Borders: An Impromptu Concert Gift
The Ives project—music profoundly aware of the role of immigrant voices in the American fabric—had been planned well ahead of the current administration’s sudden travel ban. But on Wednesday the SSO gave an impromptu gift to Seattle and all of its residents. Tickets, made available for free, were claimed for the entire hall within a matter of hours. The concert was also streamed live for anyone wanting to watch online. (It’s still available to view at: http://www.seattlesymphony.org/beyond-borders/live-stream.)
About one quarter of the SSO’s musicians are immigrants. The entire orchestra and Morlot wanted to make a passionate statement about the value of connections rather than walls between nations. The result was a program titled Music Beyond Borders: Voices From the Seven, referring to the seven countries whose citizens were singled out by executive order: Iran, Iraq, Syria, Somalia, Sudan, Yemen and Libya.
With lightning speed, the SSO succeeded in putting together a program featuring artists from five of the affected countries. The lineup included works by two Iranian composers (Alireza Motevaseli and Gity Razaz), the Iraqi Rahim Alhaj, Sudanese composer Ali Osman, and the Syrian clarinet virtuoso and composer Kinan Azmeh, as well as a performance by Samatar Yare, a Somalian immigrant to Seattle, of a popular song by a Somalian disco/funk band (Dur-Dur Band).
SSO musicians including principal trumpet David Gordon and violinist Mikhail Shmidt (an immigrant from Russia who settled here at the very end of the Soviet era) introduced the pieces. One of them, by the young New York-based composer Gity Razaz, was especially imaginative in its use of the full orchestra.
Her piece also happened to be inspired by the myth of Narcissus, whose predicament Gordon described as one of “obsessive self-infatuation,” triggering an (unintended?) eruption of laughter from an audience already exhausted by weeks of unrelenting presidential narcissism.
Coming Home: AlHaj and Azmeh
The crowd became visibly moved by Rahim AlHaj’s Letters from Iraq, a suite for orchestra and oud (basically, the Arabic lute), with the composer himself performing as soloist. The sincerity of emotion was overpowering.
It was a sheer stroke of luck that enabled Kinan Azmeh to be present to perform as clarinet soloist in his two-movement Suite for Improvisor and Orchestra. As part of Yo-Yo Ma’s Silk Road Project, Azmeh had been traveling in Berlin and Beirut, introducing one of his new compositions, when the travel ban was issued. He’s made his home in Brooklyn for years but was suddenly left uncertain as to whether he could even return to it.
Fortunately Judge James Robart’s temporary restraining order meant he could join with the SSO to play in the Suite. Both meditative and raucously joyful, Azmeh’s music brought to mind something of that emotional complexity from the previous week’s Ives. Azmeh dedicated the second part, which depicts the mood of a Syrian village wedding, to “all the Syrians who managed to fall in love in the last six years in spite of all the suffering. Falling in love is probably one of the very few human rights that no authority can take away from you.”

Some have expressed annoyance, even outrage, at these developments. And cynics will say such social commitments are today’s equivalent of the days when “modern music”—code for the ugly and unpleasant—was treated as an onerous duty, like vegetables that had to be mixed with the tastier, surefire rep.
But they’d have a hard time honestly trying to maintain that position if they experienced the extraordinary sense of bonding that occurred with the audience on Wednesday night. What’s more, the performance on the following evening (Feb. 9) made it clear that this wasn’t just a one-off affair: the affirmative energy and connection of the Beyond Borders concert spilled over into the performance of the regularly scheduled program.
That effect also manifested a longer-term, organic phenomenon: the business of “change” described above goes beyond programming, even beyond the SSO’s identification of its mission. It also includes the artistic quality of performance. Morlot has succeeded in intensifying the players’ concentration, with results that come to the fore in this weekend’s program (two more performances remain, on Saturday and Sunday).
A Modernist Faun, and Hillary Hahn
The concert opened with Debussy’s trail-blazing Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun. Composed in the early 1890s and lasting a mere ten minutes, it accomplished a sonic revolution—the moment that arguably represents the birth of modern music. I had a brief sonic illusion that I was hearing the first second or so of Rite of Spring from 1913 (where Stravinsky exchanges the flute’s sustained note for a bassoon at the top of its range).
What I especially like about Morlot’s approach to his fellow Frenchman’s music is the balance of full-bloodedness with its sensualism. All the woozy, delicate textures were there—in their full dimensionality, grounded in subtly shifting bass gestures—but without seeming fragile or merely evanescent whispers. In the piece’s ebb tides, Morlot made a point to prop up Debussy’s lyricism, giving welcome attention to Afternoon’s larger melodic flow.
Hilary Hahn, a featured artist with the SSO this season, appeared as the soloist in Max Bruch’s First Violin Concerto in G minor (1868). I admit wishing at the outset that we could hear her playing something more adventurous. As it happened, Hahn’s performance was so enthralling it made me reevaluate the Bruch and hear it in a completely new way. A staple that I thought I didn’t need to hear again for awhile suddenly became full of meaning.
Hahn has reached a level of artistry that renders the standard critical jargon useless. The intonation is superb, her phrasing deeply felt and smart, and overall she projects a strong will that somehow is never egotistical.
But it’s futile to try to convey the real intensity of her performance. The way she drew the long deep G at the bottom of her instrument (her entrée into the Concerto) spoke volumes, and she lived up to all the promise that contained. Hahn is also a fantastic partner with the orchestra; in a climactic moment in the animated finale, you could even see her paying close attention to the timpanist. Morlot and the SSO made the most of this chemistry.
As a lagniappe, we got an encore of solo Bach, one of Hahn’s specialities, with the Gigue from the E major Partita. The dance theme made a nice reference to the balletic aspects of the Debussy. (Serge Diaghilev’s Ballets Russes presented a scandalously choreographed version of Afternoon late in the composer’s life.)
A Grand 20th-Century Symphony That Dances
The concluding work of the performance, Prokofiev’s massive wartime Symphony No. 5, also recalled something of the dance. That’s because Morlot, conducting without a baton, underlined the “new simplicity” of Prokofiev’s later style here, which is perhaps best known from its expression in the long, embracing melodic lines of his earlier score for the ballet Romeo and Juliet.
This is obviously still the same composer who gave us the music for The Love for Three Oranges, which SSO paired with a new commission from the composer’s grandson, Gabriel Prokofiev, at the opening of this season. However, in the Fifth, composed two decades after The Love of Three Oranges, the density of ideas has been thinned and the canvas stretched out to enormous lengths.
For all of the mass of the orchestral resources, including a battalion of brass and expanded strings, rhythms and weights were articulated lucidly. The effect was downright kaleidoscopic in the wild second movement, with first-rate contributions from all the winds, especially clarinetist Ben Lulich. The entire body of strings played with breath-taking expression and grace.
This has been another of the long-term improvements during the conductor’s tenure, and it’s impossible to miss when the SSO is working at the inspired level it showed with the Prokofiev.

VIOLETA DE OUTONO
"Violeta de Outono - EP + Bonus Tracks"
(1986) - Rock Symphony
Psychedelic Rock band lined-up in 1984 in São Paulo, they started making a good reputation in their own sonority by mixing the current tendencies of that time, with Floyd/Beatles Psychedelia.Their music, known for a hypnotic atmosphere, became a reference of climatic, spatial sounds.
Samples - VIOLETA DE OUTONO - Violeta de Outono - EP + Bonus Tracks - Bandcamp
"Caminantes"
According to the outfit's own members, this, the band's second album, is "Music to listen to, while walking." The group's Experimental Rock does not follow any musical trend in particular, is almost deformed, and where different variables render its' listening and figuring-out, indecipherable.
Samples - CUCO - Caminantes - Bandcamp
NACHT, LUIS
"La hora inexacta"
Saxophone player Luis Nacht decided to be at the helm of quite a singular group, for the recording of his eighth album. His music boasts a healthy dose of space for Improvisational freedom and an imprint that refers to Free Jazz, as well as a somewhat strange flirtation with Progressive Rock.
Samples - LUIS NACHT - La hora inexacta - Deezer
CATÁLOGO DE VINILOS - Claudio Zuccala / Fernando Brener
"Catálogo de vinilos de Rock Argentino 1958 - 1996"
Argentine - Book in Spanish - Format 20 x 20 cm. In illustration opaque paper with 376 coloured pages / coloured cover.
"Catálogo de vinilos de Rock Argentino" is the first work that finally accepts the challenge of going through the complete history of Argentine Rock album covers. The period covered (1958-1996) generates a pleasant surprise: the book is encouraged to discuss the official history of Argentine Rock and dares to include records pertaining to the first Jazz orchestras (such as Eddy Pequenino's combo), that tip-toed their way into the genre.
"El valle interior"
This was the third and last LP of the legendary Argentine group. It was recorded in the United States, during November, 1980. In this brief return, after many years without playing together, they recorded an album more in accordance to the moment, within a Jazz Rock Fusion style of the time.
Samples - ALMENDRA - El valle interior - YouTube
"Limbo"
For this their second disc, they suddenly became an octet, without losing any of the potential generated during the recording of their debut album. They continue to explore Contemporary Jazz with new sounds, that link Urban Music with elements of Progressive Rock, Argentine Folk and Hip Hop, transforming themselves into something similar to a Rock in Opposition eight-some.
Samples - KAI D' RAIZ - Limbo - YouTube
"Realidades convenientes"
This is Presto Vivace's fifth studio album, and its' members demonstrate impressive skills in their instruments, while accomplishing a perfect balance between Progressive Metal and Progressive Rock. Their lyrics are sung in Spanish by a vocalist of Metal tradition and their complex, as well as ever-changing Instrumental parts, quite effortlessly hark our minds and ears back to the halcyon Symphonic days of yore.
Samples - PRESTO VIVACE - Realidades convenientes - Deezer
"Punto simultáneo"
(2018) - Chancho Discos
This is the second conceptual album released by Nicolás, under the very same characteristics as its predecessor CD: Climatic and Atmospheric Electronic Music, which underlies the Ambient IDM and Post Rock made by this musician with his set of sequencers, synthesizers, electronic drums, and sound effects.
Samples - NICOLÁS AIMO - Punto simultáneo - Bandcamp
LIZARAZU, HILDA
"La Génesis"
(2018) - Díscola Discos
Within the framework of celebrating 50 years since the "official" beginning of Argentine Rock, Hilda Lizarazu, the ex-singer of Man Ray, proposes the challenge of making new versions that refer to the birth of our Rock. These songs, which were originally released between 1968 and 1973, receive the treatment of being respected along their own styles, with the complicity of Lito Vitale, Eduardo Tapia, Juan Belvis, and Luciano Vitale, among others.
Samples - HILDA LIZARAZU - La Génesis - Deezer
PÁJARO DE PRISMA
"Pájaro de prisma"
(2018) - Viajero Inmóvil Records - Distribución Digital
Pájaro de prisma is a threesome which originated in the city of La Plata (capital of the Argentine Province of Buenos Aires), with the musical intention of creating Jazz-Rock Fusion songs under the Luis Alberto Spinetta School of Music, singing in Spanish, while at the same time successfully maintaining the classic style of seventies' Argentine Rock.
Samples - PÁJARO DE PRISMA - Pájaro de prisma - Bandcamp
"Línea de tiempo"
For this, their third album, the septet became an octet during a large chunk of the record, addressing the timeline of Argentine Jazz, right from the mythical Oscar Alemán, until all the way to the present, and by recreating compositions authored by various musicians, such as Walter & Javier Malosetti, Fat's Fernandez, and Ricardo Cavalli, amongst others, as well as Leo Genovese and Tomás Sainz.
Samples - ENSAMBLE REALBOOKARGENTINA - Línea de tiempo - YouTube
CASSIBBA, HERNÁN
"Homenaje"
This outstanding bassist, just as renowned as he is famously lucid and refined in his style, has finally decided to go himself responsible for the composition and direction of his sextet. The result has been fantastic, as he's achieved an exquisite Jazz Fusion album, with plenty of Contemporary-sounding features. Cassiba has in the past participated in works with some outstanding musicians from the Argentine Jazz scene, as well as also with groups such as La Finca de Laurento and Onmo6.
Samples - HERNÁN CASSIBA - Homenaje - Amazon
In this, the threesome's second volume, the lads pay homage to Kubero Díaz and Billy Bond, as well as the very first Pink Floyd incarnation, Syd Barret, Peruvian group El Polen, and others. All these compositions were self-written and are absolutely crammed with Heavy Psychedelia, while based on their starry and luminous influences.
Samples - COMEFLOR - Vol. II - Bandcamp
JUAN IZKIERDO GRUPO
"Juan Izquierdo Grupo"
This Orchestral Ensemble consists of fourteen young Musicians, who fuse Latin American Folk, together with elements of Jazz and Rock, as well as excellent vocal arrangements and combinations. Within their own search and interpretation, they take off right from the written music, and with generous spaces designed for Improvisation.
Samples - JUAN IZQUIERDO GRUPO - Juan Izquierdo Grupo - Bandcamp
JUAN PABLO NAVARRO SEXTETO
"Tangos de la posverdad"
Considered as being one of the best Bass Players in the Argentine Tango and Jazz scenes, Juan Pablo Navarro's virtue as a Performer & Composer really shine and stand-out, with his Avant-Tango sextet, and with noteworthy influences of Jazz and Contemporary Music alike. Besides sharing the stage with many other important Musicians, he is also part of the Diego Schissi Quintet, to which we can pretty much effortlessly and musically-associate with.
Samples - JUAN PABLO NAVARRO SEXTETO - Tangos de la posverdad - YouTube
ÁLVAREZ, SERGIO - [Electroálvarez]
"Un lugar solitario llamado libertad"
(2018) - Quark Records
The former Guitarist with Panza and Octafonic, presents his third album, which is a Concept piece: It represents a Surrealistic journey within his own personal universe of highly distorted sounds, and within an Experimental Fusion direction that explores variables between Progressive Rock and Jazz, and which is so obviously much closer to another of his former bands, La Mujer Barbuda, from a stylistic point of view.
Samples - SERGIO ÁLVAREZ - [Electroálvarez] - Un lugar solitario llamado libertad - Deezer
"Como un mamut"
This seminal, historical band, which hailed from the Argentine Province of Tucumán, were heavily (no pun intended) enrolled in Hard Rock and Heavy Metal. Formed in 1982 and dissolved in 1987, the group decided to make a return in 2018 with this CD, which reconstructs their original songs from the eighties, and with all of that same early power and strength that they were renowned for. At times, they sound a little similar to El Reloj.
Samples - UT - Como un mamut - YouTube
"Universo expandido - (CDr)"
Featuring significant changes with respect to his debut album, Volvox attempts to embark on a brand new path, by combining Symphonic Progressive Rock together with Hard Rock undertones. In this work, though his music may be a bit more Melodic than usual, at the same time it's far more Complex & Dark in certain passages. Sometimes sonically-affiliated to the likes of Láquesis, then at other moments featuring climactic overtones in the Autumn Moonlight tradition, as well as Classic style incursions, such as Dánae.
Samples - VOLVOX - Universo expandido - Bandcamp
ASTARITA, NÉSTOR
"80 años - Jazztaríaenbaterita"
This legendary Drummer from the Argentine Jazz scene, is deservedly honoured with this brilliant CD, which not only reflects his huge musical legacy, but also presents terrifically efficient Guest Musicians' accompanying performances, such as Litto Nebbia, Baby Lopez Furst, Enrique "Mono" Villegas, and Gato Barbieri. Astarita also formed part of groups such as Buenos Aires Jazz Fusion, among several others.
Samples - NÉSTOR ASTARITA - 80 años - Jazztaríaenbaterita - Deezer
"El eco del sol"
It is already almost forty years since the band's extraordinary debut, "Anabelas." Its' creator, Daniel Andreoli, restructured the band together with young musicians, who accompany him in this new rebirth of Bubu. By maintaining all the group's initial essence intact, we are now all over again amazed with this novel work of Avant-Prog. Progressive Rock at its' best, intertwined with appealing nods to Neo-Classical undertones.
Samples - BUBU - El eco del sol - Bandcamp
POLANDRIA
"Polandria"
This quintet is based in the city of Buenos Aires, and is fully dedicated to writing, as well as playing, their own music, by creatively dabbling into Chamber Song territory format, and very cleverly incorporating elements of Latin American Music, Academic Music, Progressive Rock, Jazz, and Improvisation, to name a few.
Samples - POLANDRIA - Polandria - Bandcamp
"Que vengan los pájaros"
CDr + book
This, their second album, contains a series of heterogeneous songs of Experimental characteristics, which are beautifully accompanied and woven together by a sonority made with actually very little instrumentation. Somewhat related in a way to a Brief Development sort of Progressive Rock sub-genre, and infused with subtle tinges of Argentine Folk. This edition includes a book with drawings and texts.
Samples - KUÁ - Que vengan los pájaros - Bandcamp
A NAUFRAGAR… - Mario Antonelli
"La historia de Los Gatos"
A thorough trajectory through the history of the mythological Argentine group and its' members, from The Wild Cats and other City of Rosario (Province of Santa Fé) outfits in which Kay and Moro played, to the very latest catalog re-releases. Featuring many revealing documents (never-seen-before photos & personal letters); exclusive reports; details of the recordings told by the Protagonists themselves, as well as commentaries and reviews of their albums by fellow-Musicians and Journalists (Alfredo Rosso, Claudio Kleiman, Gustavo Montolivo, Miguel Cantilo, Roque Narvaja, Fito Páez, Andrés Calamaro, etc.) who are trustworthy witnesses to a story that those who think they know, will be completely surprised and taken aback about.
WIND ATLAS
"Lingua ignota"
The music of this group from Barcelona (Spain) has gained nuances on their second album, drifting smoothly from Dark Dream-Pop and New-Wave passages (which remind us of Dead Can Dance) to gloomy Post-Punk atmospheres similar to those of Crispy Ambulance, Durruti Column or In Camera.
Samples - WIND ATLAS - Lingua ignota - Bandcamp
EL ABRAZO DEL TANGO Y EL ROCK - Alejo Rodríguez de Fraga
"El abrazo del Tango y el Rock"
(2018) - Estudio Suri
Under a very detailed compendium of chapters wrapped-up in many reflections and interviews, there is an evident effort in this book to understand these practices, speeches and sensitivities, by actually discussing them. In these necessary and essential pages, the gathering effects of the melancholic and sonorous sounds of the bellows, together with the Marshall Speakers' distortions, the other-worldly vocals of Luis Alberto Spinetta, the wine-flavoured voice of Roberto Goyeneche, the slap by Charles Baudelaire, lyrics that both denounce and help to fall in love, are all swirling in an endless, yet delightfully literary effect. In short, the whole traditional urban district with all its' typical successes, errors and contradictions.
FLAMENCS
"Doll ashes"
This young group launches its' first Concept album of Neo-Symphonic tonalities, in a most Marillion kind of musical tradition, albeit updated by the sound of the Melodic Symphonic Hard Rock style of Porcupine Tree or Dream Theater. Their songs are sung in both English and Spanish.
Samples - FLAMENCS - Doll ashes - YouTube
VOX DEI - Ezequiel Ábalos
"Vox Dei según Vox Dei"
(2018) - El Encuentro Editorial
In order to compile the story of a band, there is nothing better than telling it through the narration of its' protagonists; especially if that band is Vox Dei, who, right from their inception, made it very clear that they were coming to make history in the Argentine Rock Music scene. Thanks to the outfit's first album, "Caliente", and the conceptual work based on the Bible, "La Biblia según Vox Dei", the band helped Argentine Rock gain universal membership, appeal and credibility. As Rock and Blues cultists, they created true Rock Anthems, which today are worshiped and re-covered by the new generations.
CANTURBE

"Clandestino"
Between the period of years which went from 1983 to 1986, Jorge Garacotche toured the country with his Acoustic Guitar, performing in a huge number of cities. All these experiences are reflected and gathered for posterity in this album, which has been independently released on cassette-only format.
Samples - CANTURBE - Clandestino - Bandcamp
"Bonpland"
With his second LP totally drenched and submerged within the sounds of the eighties, and with yet another brand new (at the time) line-up, Jorge Garacotche continued his tradition of playing an Urban Rock sound, directly associated with the city of Buenos Aires. With this work, the group became relevant at a national level, as well as in neighbouring territories.

Experimental duet comprised by Horacio Straijer (on drums, marimba and percussion) and Nicolás Diab (on electric bass, electric guitar, keyboards, and voice), using playbacks as a sonic resource, and everything under an innovative context, with influences of Funk and Traditional Argentine Folksy Carnavalito.

This band, which originated during the turbulent late 70's in the City of Rosario (province of Santa Fe, Argentina), returned in 2004 to continue their journey that had begun many years ago and managed to release this, their first album.

Samples - EL RELOJ - En vivo - YouTube
QUE CIEN FLORES FLOREZCAN - Norberto Cambiasso
"Innovación musical y experimentación social en América y Europa"
This business of Post-War European and American societies is not only a behind-the-scenes backdrop, but the very principle that articulates the attempt to understand a broad and flexible set of musical manifestations, that would contribute to the metamorphosis of Pop (Rock?), which already accumulates six decades of accelerated evolution. From Doo Woop and the Fast Song to Krautrock and Swedish Prog, from Czechoslovakian Underground to Argentine Rock, from the European Free Jazz Improvisation to Post Industrial, from the British Counterculture to German Electronics, this compilation aims to trace a modest fresco -made of partial revelations of ephemeral triumphs and legendary failures-.
"Flotteur"
With the same enthusiasm as displayed during his very beginnings, Jorge Garacotche gifts us with a wonderful album full of Progressive / Symphonic Rock songs, with deeply ingrained roots of the city of Buenos Aires. His lyrics reflect current situations affecting Argentina and his sound effortlessly travels from the past to the present.
Samples - CANTURBE - Flotteur - Bandcamp
"Perder planetas"
This outfit's second sonic proposition is a resounding and overwhelming hybrid of Avant-Jazz, Contemporary Chamber Music and radical injections of Progressive Rock, which transform this album into Rock In Opposition. The sound experimentation in this recording varies in each track, while accomplishing their consolidation in becoming Creators of a totally renovating style.

Also, a couple of bonus, additional tracks were thrown in for good measure.
Samples - VAN LACKE - VIDAL - CARRILLO - Van Lacke - Vidal - Carrillo - Bandcamp
"Argentina nunca más - (CDr)"
This, the third album recorded by La Barca represents a conceptually-elaborate piece of work that recounts the darkest years of Argentine History: The arrival of the Military Dictatorship in 1976, the subsequent repression, the Disappeared, the Falklands War, and finally, the return of a full-fledged democratic state, in late 1983.
Samples - LA BARCA - Argentina nunca más - Bandcamp
MANTO DE CARNE
"Manto de carne"
Very first phonographic experience by this young foursome, which has timely arrived on the scene to claim as their own, the continuing traditions of Jazz Fusion and Argentine Jazz, albeit with their own sound and a lot of originality in their compositions, through a basic group formation of bass, drums, and two guitarists who "dialogue" with each other, as they exchange musical notes. Similar to the works of Darío Íscaro and Antihéroe.
Samples - MANTO DE CARNE - Manto de carne - YouTube
LA HERENCIA DE PABLO
"José María Blanc"
José María Blanc attempts to keep the flame alive for the Symphonic Progressive Rock myth, Pablo el Enterrador, by maintaining the particular style and sound of this legendary Argentine band, which originally hailed from the city of Rosario, province of Santa Fé. José María very successfully perpetuates the mythological band's classic essence, though in the company of new, fresh, accompanying musicians, and together with the very special participation of Guest Musician, Marcelo Sali.
Samples - LA HERENCIA DE PABLO - José María Blanc - Bandcamp
"Tlön Vol. III"
This third volume continues the outfit's trend to delve into the path opened by the trio during their two previous records, with evocation as the very means and ends of a unique sounding proposal of its' own kind. By taking the concept of Psychedelia to its farthest reaches and limits, Tlön forces an exit by the tangent of that which we like to call, "The Real World."
Samples - TLÖN - Tlön Vol. III - Bandcamp
"Tlön Vol. I"
Debut album by this Peruvian / Argentine threesome, which plays a type of music that goes far beyond the average person's imagination. It's a combination of Stoner, Doom, Psychedelic Rock and Hard Rock.
Samples - TLÖN - Tlön Vol. I - Bandcamp
BOSSA BLUES
"Bossa Blues"
This album is a beautiful proyect of three musicians: Elsa María Elejalde (Perú), Christian Van Lacke (Argentina) and Jairo Zuleta (Venezuela), and you could find beautiful versions of classic tunes from The Beatles, The Police, The Doors, Stevie Wonder, and brasilean Bossa Nova.

"Tortuga"
Argentine / Peruvian trio which was created within the sonic universe of Christian Van Lacke (the former guitarist and lead vocalist with Tlön), together with Madrid bassist Jesús Morate (Nazca) and drummer Julio "Ñaca" Almeida (Kingdom Hermit.) They carry the Psychedelic Heavy Rock legacy baton of the seminal Tarkus, and transport it to a brand new and delirious level.
Samples - TORTUGA - Tortuga - Bandcamp
SPINETTA - Ezequiel Ábalos
"Credulidad"
Right after Almendra split in 1970, Luis Alberto Spinetta recorded songs for what would be: "Spinettalandia y sus amigos" and then ravels to Europe. On his return, he founded Pescado Rabioso and under that name, three albums were released: "Desatormentándonos", "Pescado 2" and "Artaud". In 1974, he formed Invisible and recorded three albums: "Invisible", "Durazno Sangrando" and "El jardín de los presentes." After recording "A 18' del sol" as a soloist and "Only Love Can Sustain" (in English in the US - also going solo), he successfully brought Almendra back together again in 1979, and in 1980, he formed Spinetta Jade. Credulity encompassed the prolific seventies' phase of this musician, poet, and artist, who with his talent and genius, gave credibility to Rock from here.
BUMA Trío
"Iscaro / Chayle / Valotta"
This is a brand new threesome formed by Darío Iscaro on guitars, Gonzalo Chayle on drums and Pablo Valotta on bass. Their musical style is commonly associated with Jazz Instrumental Fusion, enhanced with Contemporary characteristics.

"Cómo desaparecer completamente - (2 CDs)"
Double album of the project Sanguinetti plays Radiohead: Sanguinetti / Migma / Babjaczuk / Butelman / L'Argentiere.

Samples - MARCO SANGUINETTI - Cómo desaparecer completamente - Deezer
"Arazzi"
This is the third and last Ataraxia's demotape recorded and self-produced in 1992 and released in 1993 by Energeia. The band has chosen not to change the original sound keeping the early 90ies rough and instinctive spirit. They have included to this re-issue a bonus track, "L'ultimo Arazzo", that had to be part of the original 1993 release but, being not satisfied with the original version, they re-recorded it right now with the participation of Riccardo Spaggiari on drums.
Samples - ATARAXIA - Arazzi - YouTube
GÜACHO
"Volumen III - (La persistencia de la memoria) "
This third volume is the formal conclusion of their excellent trilogy; a new production that shows them entrenched in Valvular Rock and Psychedelic Blues adventures. In this opportunity, the band adapts much more to the song format, and although the atmospheric style is kept afloat, there is a greater desire to privilege the word over the Instrumental.

MIGUEL ABUELO - Ezequiel Ábalos
"Himno de mi corazón"
Miguel, I do not know why I started thinking about him; could be that I did not have time to understand everything at the time; Miguel, a really fertile poet; he arrived with two songs he wrote all over again in order to live again, you left glory behind and gifted us with history through your gypsy compass; you took me by the hand to the small glory of playing with THE abuelo. Miguel, will we meet again? it's hard to know... If you had something to say you said it twice, and Miguel had a good fist, and he knew who to floor, who to gift, who to forget and live, and you taught us all a little sense of the Palermo Dancer's friendship, Miguel. "With Abuelo" - (Andrés Calamaro)
PROYECTO QUASAR
"Donde los pájaros sienten temor - Pt.1/Paranoia"
This is the very first delivery of a Conceptual type-of-work, which brings a new breath of fresh air to the current Progressive Rock scene. The album consists of anguishing melodramatic climaxes and melody-attacking guitar explosives, as well as overwhelming rhythms, heavily associated with Math Rock.
Samples - PROYECTO QUASAR - Donde los pájaros sienten temor - Pt. 1/Paranoia - Bandcamp
AUTUMN MOONLIGHT
"Passengers"
With a slight turn towards Atmospheric Progressive Rock, the duet tries to innovate their music by seeking different intensities: much more energetic and constantly changing sonic climates: from the most aggressive to the calmest ones, as they are already well known within their Post-Rock genre. Their third album boasts an outstanding renewed musical growth.
Samples - AUTUMN MOONLIGHT - Passengers - Bandcamp
RODOLFO MEDEROS GENERACIÓN CERO
"Fuera de broma"
Rodolfo Mederos, along with Generación Cero, released two LP's in the mid-70's. They began with an unusual formation of three bandoneons (a large accordion), bass and drums, to which the wind instruments of Arturo Schenider were added. Recorded in 1973, this album wasn't released till a whole three years later. This is a brilliant artistic effort that combined Avant-Tango with elements of Jazz and Psychedelic Beat, and was described at the time as Music with its' own Buenos Aires-flavoured identity.
Samples - RODOLFO MEDEROS GENERACIÓN CERO - Fuera de broma - YouTube
ANACRUSA
"En Francia - (2 CDs)"
As a result of their deep political convictions and commitment, when the military dictatorship erupted in Argentina (March, 1976), the group decided to exile themselves in France, where they released two records: El Sacrificio (1978) and Fuerza (1982.) This newly-released double album features both works, through which they continued expanding the Latin American Folk horizons they were renowned for, by fusing elements of Progressive Rock, Jazz and Tango.

"Ellipsism"
(2015) - R.A.I.G. Records
This project, which was born in La Paz, Bolivia, amalgamates Psychedelic, Symphonic and Progressive Rock, as well as music from their native land, through evident influences from The Mars Volta School of Sound, and much experimentation.

CISNE ELOCUENTE
"Leda"
CD - Papersleeve simil vinilo 7'
Second disc conceived by this young Progressive Rock, Jazz Rock and Folk threesome, which brings about further investigations into the roots of our Argentine Rock.

Samples - CISNE ELOCUENTE - Leda - Bandcamp
"El último latido de Lao"
Under constant rhythm changes and different musical sensations, Translúcido's Instrumental compositions permanently mutate in a somewhat Progressive mode, traversing through Space Rock atmospherics, all the way to the rhythmic intent of current Electronic Pop Music, which contagiously invites you to shake your entire body!
Samples - TRANSLÚCIDO - El último latido de Lao - Bandcamp
"Bioma"
This very young and promising combo ventures into Electro Go, a new and unique style that mixes Electronic Music with World Music, albeit admittedly with an undeniable influence and debt to Symphonic Progressive Rock. A fusion of sorts between Synth Pop and Space Rock, which has surely by now generated a brand new trend.
Samples - TRANSLÚCIDO - Bioma - Bandcamp

Under the premise of using Classical erudite writing and Jazz Improvisation, this six-some composes their own material inspired by different genres: Jazz Rock, Contemporary Chamber Music, Jazz, Progressive Rock, etc., with a highly rewarding result, where delicate and complex arrangements provide the right sky-rocketing blast-off to their amazing creativity.

From Córdoba, Argentina, hails this young threesome of interstellar Stoner Rock, with an Instrumental record abounding in magical textures that mix the classic hard sound with a high quota of Space Rock and Psychedelia, as well as a kind of Post-Rock style which is absolutely Avant-Garde in its' musical direction. By the way, it is executed with absolute mastery.
Samples - IAH - IAH - Bandcamp
"La muerte de la empatía"
This, their third album, continues the intense style that characterizes the lads' musical leniences and moves through different nuances and intentions that range from contemplation to overflow.

New conceptual work of this pianist who, along with his acoustic quintet, plays compositions of Contemporary Chamber Jazz and incorporates sonic elements of the City of Buenos Aires.

(2017) - Colección Vademécum
Argentine - Book in Spanish - Format 20 x 14 cm. In printing paper with 200 black & white pages - illustration coloured paper / coloured cover.
On the afternoon of May 24, 1976, Argentine foursome Invisible entered the local CBS studios, located on Paraguay Street #1500 in downtown Buenos Aires, to record their third long player. By the end of that year, the group would cease to exist. If Invisible is perhaps the most valued band in Spinetta's career, "El jardín de los presentes" is the culminating point of a brief but intense discography work. In eight songs (many of them became local scene stalwart classics), Spinetta condenses a part of his cosmogony and lays the foundations for his immediate future as a solo artist, as well as fronting Spinetta Jade. Martín Graziano reconstructs with remarkable journalistic and music-loving expertise all the episodes that went through the gestation and impact of the appearance of this record at the end of 1976. A tiny but definitive period of time during which Luis Alberto Spinetta, Carlos Machi Rufino, Héctor Pomo Lorenzo, and Tomás Gubistch recorded a key album in the history of Argentine Popular Music from the last half century.
EPUMER+MACHI+JUDURCHA
"Enigma"
Notable and renowned musicians from the Argentine Rock scene have come together in the shape of this Instrumental Fusion Power Trio, whose potency comes from their solid Rock base, sparks of Improvisational jamming and the soaring freedom of Jazz. Enigma, their 2nd album, has been assembled with compositions that are even stronger and more substantial than those which appeared on their very first CD outing.

"Amaneceres"
CD - digi-tray simil vinilo 7"
It took more than 40 years of waiting for this eminent guitarist to release a new solo album once again. Recording with a trio-formation, as well as the addition of many well-known local musicians, he managed to produce an album which links Rock, Fusion and Folk, in a style and sound that is thoroughly reminiscent and the property of the eighties, and not too far-off track from the solo works which the great Miguel Cantilo came up with during that decade.
Samples - KUBERO DÍAZ - Amaneceres - YouTube
"Kubero Díaz y La Pesada"
The former guitarist with La Cofradía de la Flor Solar recorded his first solo album together with his fellow-La Pesada members. While doing so, he accomplished the conception of a mythical and iconic Psychedelic record, by combining Hard, Hard Blues and Folk, as he shared ideas with that musical community.

PROYECTO DA SILVA
"La lógica del sueño"

Drenched in Progressive Rock, Psychedelia and Electronic passages, this quintet boasts its' very own sonic speech of unusual metrics and eclectic textures.

Samples - PROYECTO DA SILVA - La lógica del sueño - Bandcamp
"Donde los pájaros sienten temor - Pt.2/Conspiranoia"
Fourth phonographic effort and the second part of this conceptual work, which offers an attractive variety of sonic slopes, explosive Instrumental breaks and diverse variants between a visceral approach to the Mars Volta sound and a bucolic proximity to Radiohead.

HABLA LAURA
"Descomposiciones"
This twosome is comprised of Clara Romero and Nahuel Creche (Acido Canario), who craft and hone their very original style within an Experimental Song format, as they make good and creative use of loops, guitars, trumpets, voices, and guttural effects, while creating different textures and timbres that make the sound of their compositions unique, since after all, they propose a treatment for their compositions right from the actual development of the mentioned elements.
ROSETI PROJECT
"Deshacer - (CDr)"
This is a Free Jazz trio formed by Frido Ter Beek (saxophones) Francisco Salgado (trombone) and Matías Coulasso (drums), who propose a somewhat particular aesthetic, as they seek their music to disassemble or decompose all of that which is composed, through the combination of the auditory ranges of Jazz, Rock and Experimental genres.

This is a CD in which Liliana and Verónica continue experimenting with their unique use of counterpoints, medieval-kind-of-two-voiced polyphonic singing, and improvisations. This album was entirely recorded in the studio, an environment which allowed them to play around with multi-layered vocal and instrumental recordings, as well as to simply sing songs they love.

"Definitiva mente"
The last ride of the Jinetes Negros comes to an end with this fifth and final album.

After the publication of “Silencio Marginal: memorias del Rock Argentino” (2014), Lautaro Castro, Maximiliano Ceci and Eduardo Casali intended to go well beyond the foundational stages and boundaries of the local Rock scene, in order to properly investigate a period rich in strong experimentation as occurred during the 70's and early 80's.

"Memorias del Rock Argentino"
(2014) - Editorial Punto de encuentro
During the mid-sixties, the appropriation of Anglo-Saxon music consumption, combined with the sense of belonging to local roots, as well as the sociopolitical and cultural context of the country and the world as a whole, defined the patterns of a new musical expression genre. What has been contributed here in this book is a look to enrich what we call the History Of Argentine Rock, so as to discover previously inadvertent details, in order to rebuild environments and characters which are about to be swallowed up forever by the thunderous silence of memory loss. The musicians in question are: Rodolfo García, Emilio Del Guercio, Claudio Gabis, Willy Quiroga, Kubero Diaz, Black Amaya, Ciro Fogliatta, Héctor Starc, and Jorge Durietz, who provide a sincere, deep and experiential testimony about the emergence of Rock culture in Argentina.
"Progresivo instrumental"
Their second CD maintains the very same melodic line of Instrumental Symphonic Rock, (just as on his debut album), with obvious influences from Genesis, King Crimson, Peter Gabriel, as well as featuring a certain Classic sound and overtones that approach his sound to that of Nexus.

MI BANDA SONORA - Litto Nebbia
"La vida es un encuentro"
(2017) - Editorial Aguilar
Passionate and many times controversial, Litto Nebbia tells everything. It is now fifty years since "La balsa", and the Argentine Rock pioneer, it must be said, was the very first to have no prejudice whatsoever with any musical genre, by merging Rock with Jazz, Brazilian Popular Music, Folklore, Bolero, and encouraging uncharted, never-before-explored musical territories. As unclassifiable as its author, "Mi banda sonora" threads, just like a soundtrack should, varying scenes from his own life history, scenes from his abundant songs and albums, his friends, his favourite movies and composers, his endless tours, and his own personal opinions. And together with all of these, thousands of memoirs, dreams and passions turn this book into a labour of love that is well-projected and directed into the future.
"Información catedral - Vol. I & II - (2 CDs)"
By summoning numerous prestigious local musicians to record with him, a series of compositions were born, which cover Psychedelic Folk and Progressive Rock, with all the expected essence of the early seventies' Argentine Rock scene.

Corona Notebooks
A Guantanamo of the Mind
Frank Smith, translated by Vanessa Place September 4, 2014
Editor's Preface
The texts which follow are excerpted from Frank Smith’s Guantanamo. The book is comprised of his French translations and adaptations of the Combatant Status Review Tribunals for detainees which took place beginning in 2004 in the U.S. military base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Some of these transcripts were released, by judicial order, to the Associated Press in 2006, by which they were made public. Guantanamo was published in French by Editions du Seuil in 2010.
In July, Les Figues Press published a translation of Guantanamo, by the poet (and editor of Les Figues) Vanessa Place. In this book, as is represented here, the translations were juxtaposed with the original French translations. The adventure of these transcripts, as they are rewritten by Smith in French from an English that was in many cases rewritten from out of the detainees’ own languages, and then rewritten again, by Place, in an English based upon the French texts, enact many of the questions that the book poses: namely, what is an “original” and how can something original be represented in language? What is the relation between language and experience? Can language, particularly when (but not exclusively) compelled under duress, represent truth?
These texts are based on transcriptions of trials. In a trial what is important is not the truth outside the trial but the determination that is made of guilt or innocence. The category of guilty or innocent has nothing to do with whether an accused did or did not engage in the activity that he or she is accused of. Upon the act of being declared guilty, one's identity inhabits the category: one simply is guilty. Anyone who has testified before a court, who has been questioned by the police, who has been interviewed for a Green Card understands what is at stake in the performance one creates with one’s interrogator. The performance must be deemed an effective one consistent with a series of conventions, which, even though they may be unwritten ones, are, in these circumstances, empowered by the force of law. One must speak in the operative language. And all speech, even silence, as Vanessa Place notes in her “Translator’s note,” is translated into institutional speech.
To speak, then, is to participate in a collective translation into the language of the institution, and into its conventions and categories which this language determines. It is perhaps for this reason that the first of the book’s two epigraphs is William Carlos Williams’ declaration, which became the imagist anthem, “No ideas but in things.” Without a category, there is no thing, nothing to see, no sense. We witness, in Guantanamo, the creation of a readable text. As Place puts it in her afterward to the book, ““The text event as such is the only event which counts.”
Yet in the case of Guantanamo, the paradox is amplified: the detainees were kept at Guantanamo in Cuba, and not in United States territory, precisely to avoid a series of conventions: first, those of the United States’ judicial system, and the constitutional rights upon which that system is founded. If they were considered to be prisoners of war, these detainees would be subject to the fifth article of the Geneva Convention governing the conduct of prisoners of war. Yet because the prisoners in Guantanamo Bay are not understood to be affiliated with particular nations but rather, are accused of participating in a global terrorist network, the United States claimed that they did not have the rights to prisoner of war status, and the protections that the Geneva Convention is supposed to guarantee. Though the Obama administration has, since 2008, disposed of the Bush administration’s categorization of the detainees as “unlawful enemy combatants,” unaffiliated with any country and thus subject to no international treaty, their continued detention at Guantanamo Bay, and their continued lack of recourse to the United States judicial system, continues to belie the retraction of this category.
Of this category? The very idea of an “unlawful enemy combatant” was to create a place for the uncategorizable, the category for that which is beholden to no category. Not being part of the system of categorization, there is no conventionally determined authority to which these prisoners are subject, leaving the captors free to create a new system of authority. “Unlawful” here does not mean “against the law” in the sense of remaining within the system of the law, but rather “outside the law,” that is, subject to no law: those to whom law does not apply. But what makes this default category strange is the very fact that we are asked to understand it as “a category that is not a category.” We are asked to see Guantanamo Bay and its prisoners as an image of a category. Thus is the space in which the Combatant Status Review Tribunals take place. Read as a text, it becomes an image that serves as a portrait of the condition we find ourselves in: in which we can only understand the world as a system of categorization.
Smith’s Guantanamo, and Place’s translation of it, emphasizes this placelessness, the lack of context of these events in language. The re-translation mirrors the lack of an original text. Smith makes use of a variety of styles, from theatrical dialogue to reported speech. Above all, Smith exploits the ambiguity of the French on, modulating the pronoun so that it is at times impossible to delineate the speaker, to separate detainee from interrogator. The impersonal “third person” is made to serve as subject for both the questioner and the one who answers, flattening them into a discourse without a subject of attribution. Place continues this work, variably translating the on as "one," "we", "they," " it is said" or in doing away with the pronoun completely (“states that…”).
At other times, different strategies for citation are flattened into one text, as in this passage where the text makes use of, on the one hand, a form of “free indirect style,” when the narrator/transcriber merges voices with the object of citation, and on the other, direct quotation (though without punctuation to indicate so): the conjoining of these two iterations of the speech event effectively render ambiguous the question of who is doing the writing:
The man says he has nothing to say
and wants to proclaim his innocence.
The man has no business here.
I have no business here,
Smith wryly addresses the notion of authorship on the book’s last page in a final dedication:
“The author would like to acknowledge President Barack Obama, without whom this book would not be possible.”
In the spectacle of Smith casting himself as “author-hero” offering his book's “benefactor” his due, Smith presents the specter of a text separate from the world which produced it. As literary production takes its place alongside the Guantanamo prisoners, the field of literature itself is put into question.

From Guantanamo
By Frank Smith, translated by Vanessa Place
Les Figues Press, 2014
It is said that the interrogated is associated with Al Qaeda.
It is said that the name and telephone number of the interrogated is included in a list of members of Al Qaeda found on a hard drive seized during a raid of the terrorist organization in Pakistan.
The interrogated says that it’s not his name on this list, and this isn’t his telephone number either. That a previous interrogator already showed him an Al Qaeda list, about a year and a half ago, a list of names. That the other names were crossed-out. He saw SAA written down. That this was the name on the list, not his name, his name is MSM. That his telephone number is X. That this number was not on the list. That the previous interrogator verified and certified this, by the grace of Allah, that it was not the name of the interrogated.
It is said that at the time he was captured, the inter¬rogated had a Casio watch, model F-91W, used by Al Qaeda to make explosives.
The interrogated says that this evidence is surpris¬ing. That millions of people around the world wear this kind of Casio watch. That if it is a crime to own one, why not condemn the stores that sell them and the people who buy them? That a watch, that’s not a logical or likely piece of evidence.
It is said that the interrogated offered to help the Taliban.
The interrogated says that is true; he did offer to help the Taliban . . . like many Saudis who wanted to help a legitimate government. That like many, he emigrated for humanitarian reasons, through charity. That after arriving in Afghanistan, he changed his mind and wanted to go back to Saudi Arabia. That he had not come to fight or kill. That he came for charity, that he left Saudi Arabia even before the problems with America.
The interrogated says, again, if he had known, he never would have left home.
It is said that the interrogated went to Afghanistan to conduct Jihad and fight alongside the Taliban in Kabul, from June to December 2001.
The interrogated says he immigrated to Afghanistan to support the Taliban, not to fight by their side. That they say he stayed in Kabul from June to December 2001, when in fact he stayed for four months in Afghanistan, no more, no more than four months. That he spent less than two weeks in Kabul, which can be verified with the Saudi government, or through travel documents.
It is said that the interrogated was captured by border guards near Pakistan then brought to the American authorities in Kandahar.
The interrogated says that this is true. He wanted to go to Pakistan then to try to return to his country. That because he had no passport, he tried to reach the Saudi embassy. That he never arrived, and, that to this day, he has been held here, in Cuba.
On dit que l’interrogé est associé à Al-Qaïda.
On dit que le nom et le numéro de téléphone de l’interrogé figurent sur une liste de membres d’Al-Qaïda découverte dans un disque dur saisi lors d’un raid de l’organisation terroriste au Pakistan.
L’interrogé dit que ce n’est pas son nom qui se trouve sur cette liste, et que ce n’est pas son numéro de télé¬phone non plus. Qu’un interrogateur précédent lui a déjà montré une liste d’Al-Qaïda, il y a à peu près un an et demi, une liste de noms. Que les autres noms étaient biffés. Qu’il y a vu inscrit S.A.A. Que c’est ce nom-là qui figurait sur la liste, mais que son nom à lui, c’est M.S.M. Que son numéro de téléphone, c’est le X. Que ce n’est pas ce numéro qui figurait sur la liste. Que l’interrogateur précédent a tout vérifié et certifié, par la grâce d’Allah, que ce n’était pas le nom de l’interrogé.
On dit qu’au moment de sa capture l’interrogé avait en sa possession une montre Casio, modèle F-91W, utilisée par Al-Qaïda pour fabriquer des explosifs.
L’interrogé dit que cet élément de preuve le surprend. Que des millions de gens dans le monde portent ce type de montres Casio. Que si c’est un crime que d’en posséder une, pourquoi ne pas condamner alors les magasins qui les vendent et les gens qui les achètent ? Qu’une montre, ce n’est pas une pièce à conviction logique ou vraisemblable.
On dit que l’interrogé s’était proposé d’aider les Talibans.
L’interrogé dit que c’est vrai, il s’était proposé d’aider les Talibans . . . comme beaucoup de Saoudiens ont voulu aider un gouvernement légitime. Que comme beaucoup il a émigré pour des raisons humanitaires, par bienfaisance. Qu’une fois arrivé en Afghanistan, il a changé d’avis et voulu retourner en Arabie Saoudite. Qu’il n’était pas venu se battre, ni tuer. Qu’il était venu par bienfaisance, qu’il a quitté l’Arabie Saoudite avant même les problèmes avec l’Amérique.
L’interrogé dit encore que s’il avait su, il ne serait jamais parti de chez lui.
On dit que l’interrogé s’est rendu en Afghanistan pour mener le djihad et se battre aux côtés des Talibans à Kaboul, de juin à décembre 2001.
L’interrogé dit qu’il a émigré en Afghanistan pour soutenir les Talibans, non pour se battre à leur côté. Qu’il est dit qu’il a séjourné à Kaboul de juin à décem¬bre 2001 alors qu’en vérité il est resté quatre mois en Afghanistan, pas plus, pas plus de quatre mois. Qu’il a passé moins de deux semaines à Kaboul, ce qui peut être vérifié auprès du gouvernement saoudien, ou par les papiers de voyage.
On dit que l’interrogé a été capturé par des gardes frontières près du Pakistan, puis livré aux autorités américaines à Kandahar.
L’interrogé dit que c’est vrai. Qu’il a voulu se rendre au Pakistan pour retourner ensuite dans son pays. Que, comme il n’avait pas de passeport, il a essayé d’atteindre l’ambassade saoudienne. Qu’il n’y est jamais arrivé, et qu’aujourd’hui il est détenu ici, à Cuba.
The man says
that he should never have been called before this Tribunal,
he is innocent,
and that he does not know why he is here.
The man begs, again, that we recognize his innocence.
The man says he has young children,
and has always wanted to support the new government.
To tell the truth, the Taliban oppressed us,
says the man.
The man says again,
you’re good people, you respect human rights.
Whoever denounced me also stole money from the Americans,
whoever denounced me, I believe, is a friend of the Taliban.
When the Americans came to my house,
they ordered me to lay on the ground,
and I obeyed. They isolated me for two days
and beat me severely.
Since then, I am sick
The Americans beat me so badly
I’m afraid I no longer function sexually.
To the point that I don’t know
if I’m still able to make love to my wife.
Since then, I’m really very sick,
I can’t control my urination
and sometimes use toilet paper
so as not to soil my pants,
he says again.
The man resumes speaking
and says he will not complain
as long as there is justice
and honesty.
To you, I assign no blame,
and I’ll let you be the judge, he says.
I’m just saying that I am very innocent,
says the man at the end.
L’homme dit qu’il n’a rien à dire
et veut proclamer son innocence.
L’homme n’a rien à faire ici.
Je n’ai rien à faire ici,
dit-il.
L’homme dit
qu’il n’aurait jamais dû être appelé devant ce Tribunal,
qu’il est innocent,
et qu’il ne sait pas pourquoi il se retrouve là.
L’homme prie encore qu’on lui reconnaisse son innocence.
L’homme dit avoir des enfants en bas âge,
et avoir toujours voulu soutenir le nouveau gouvernement.
En vérité, les Talibans nous opprimaient,
dit l’homme.
L’homme dit encore,
Vous êtes de braves gens, vous respectez les droits de l’homme.
Celui qui m’a dénoncé, a volé de l’argent aux Américains,
celui qui m’a dénoncé, je crois, est un ami des Talibans.
Quand les Américains sont venus chez moi,
ils ont exigé que je m’allonge par terre,
et j’ai obtempéré.
Ils m’ont séquestré pendant deux jours
et violemment battu.
Depuis je suis malade,
Les Américains m’ont battu si violemment
que j’ai peur de ne plus fonctionner sexuellement.
Au point que je ne sais pas
si je serai encore capable de faire l’amour à ma femme.
Depuis, je suis vraiment très malade,
je ne contrôle plus mon urination
et mets parfois du papier toilette
pour ne pas souiller mon pantalon,
dit-il encore.
L’homme reprend la parole
et dit qu’il ne se plaindra pas
pourvu qu’il y ait de la justice
et de l’honnêteté.
À vous, je ne reproche rien,
et je vous laisse juges, dit-il.
Je dis simplement que je suis très innocent,
dit l’homme enfin.

Water crisis creates new marketplace as watercluster.com launches to connect industry leaders, innovative solutions
SANTA MONICA, California, June 19, 2015 — Finding the world’s most innovative water solutions just became easier with watercluster.com, an on-line deal platform to connect technology, talent and investors that can solve urgent water problems compounded by record drought on the West Coast.
“Southern California is a key, dynamic market for innovation and the perfect place to introduce a new paradigm for matching new water technology, talent and services from around the world,” says founder Thomas Schumann, who was inspired to launch the on-line venture by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Water Technology Innovation Cluster Program.
Schumann seeks “disruptive collaboration” through the on-line site, which allows members to work together and match needs with solutions in a real-time environment. The watercluster.com platform enables water industry leaders, tech companies, investors, universities, corporates, utilities, governments, NGOs and service providers to connect, communicate, collaborate and conduct business.

Investing in Water and Energy Insights with Jud Hill, Managing Partner at Blue Star Capital
How Consolidation in the Fracking Industry is Creating Greater Efficiencies and Opportunities For Companies Treating Water
New York, NY - Point Roberts, WA – April 7, 2015 - Investorideas.com and its water investment portal, Water-stocks.com issues an exclusive Q&A with Jud Hill, Managing Partner of Blue Star Capital, LLC.
Jud shares insight into some of the benefits in the recent drop in energy prices and how new efficiencies and opportunities have been created for service providers in the sector. His thought-provoking commentary provides a unique perspective and paints a more positive outcome for the relationship between energy and water for the future.

Q: Investorideas.com
Jud, with your background in water and energy, you have insight into how boom and bust in the energy sector has impacted the opportunity for service providers in the water treatment business. First of all, can you tell us how the boom created such a high profile concern over water usage and treatment and how that built the opportunity?
A: Jud Hill, Managing Partner, Blue Star Capital, LLC.
The hydraulic fracturing for deep strata hydrocarbons (2 miles deep) has been around for many years. It has only been in the last 5 to 7 years it has it gained dominance. Some 60 to 70 percent of the wells completed today are hydraulically fractured. Ironically, it is still referred to as unconventional horizontal drilling. A couple of points that are important to note about the relative usage of water in hydraulic fracturing. First - understanding the entire water value chain which considers the following: sourcing of fresh water, transporting or “provisioning” the water to the drilling pad, storing the water on-site in preparation for a frac, managing the return water coming back out of the well, post frac. This return water is referred to as flow-back, which is the water that comes back over 4 to 6 weeks post frac, followed by produced water which will last as long as the life of the well (twenty plus years potentially). The flow back and produced water then needs to be transported (by truck or pipeline) to an offsite location to be disposed of or recycled for reuse. Disposal is typically via a salt water disposal well (SWD) and recycle, albeit discussed at length, is a very small part of this water value chain…at least for the time being.
Each step of this value chain has a different price point depending on which shale formation you are operating in. For example, in Texas (Permian and the Eagle Ford) where water is in short supply, fresh water is more expensive than disposal. In Pennsylvania (Marcellus) where water is prevalent, fresh water is much cheaper than transportation and disposal. Most importantly, the largest variable in this value chain pricing spectrum, almost independent of the shale formation, is the logistics or transportation costs. This is best demonstrated in Central Pennsylvania where SWD’s are currently illegal. The transportation costs can be as high as $15/bbl to haul the water to eastern Ohio to a permitted SWD. It is surprising that many of the Exploration and Production companies (E&P’s) don’t appreciate or manage the “all in” cost of water. There is a saying in the frac water business that the service provider that reduces the “windshield time” or hauling distance will win the customers’ business. In essence, frac water service is a logistics not a technology business.
As the public and government reacted to the sector, new regulations and rules also came into play. How did that impact the sector on both sides, from the energy companies to the service providers treating the water?
Public awareness and regulation are always important drivers in the water sector. The frequently unsaid reality is that industry doesn’t mind strong regulation. They want predictability (set a standard and don’t change it frequently) and consistently enforce the standards. A high regulatory bar keeps out the bad actors and on balance doesn’t affect the all in price of crude oil that much. Generally speaking, most of the experienced and well capitalized E&P players strive to be good stewards of the water supply and want to be seen as green/sustainable actors. The brand damage that comes from doing it wrong is far greater than the perceived savings of a few cents per barrel by trying to cut corners. Of course, treatment companies embrace strong regulation. Regulation is one of the under-pinning’s of ensuring that water is priced as a valued commodity and not a “free good” as some like to think.
What are some of the myths and misperceptions out there on the relationship with energy and water?
As mentioned in my previous answer and as crass as it may sound, behaviors are primarily driven by the pricing of the commodity, be it energy or water. Most folks know what they pay to heat and light their homes but many don’t know how much they pay for water. It is still very cheap. Furthermore, guess what the primary cost is in the pricing of water? - The cost of energy to move the water thru a pipeline.
Not a myth but a reality. More than 20% of California’s energy is used to move water around the state.
We all seem to know how much a gallon of gasoline cost at the pump…why? - Because it has a big impact on our disposable income. How much is a gallon of water that you draw from the faucet? - Less than a penny.
Water and energy are inextricably tied. We now label it as the water/energy nexus.
Another misconception or unappreciated fact is that energy has many substitutes (e.g. oil, coal, nuclear, wind and solar). Water has ZERO. The best example of perfect price inelasticity… without water, you will die (a need not a want) and, if need be, you will pay any price for it.
You recently told me in a phone interview how the recent drop in energy prices has created a new era of efficiency in the sector and how that has created an even better opportunity for the service providers. Can you run us through the cycle and where things stand today?
The water value chain I described previously has changed dramatically at $50 WTI
Three things are occurring:
E&P drillers are shifting from exploratory drilling that allows them to “drill to hold” acreage which are new regions of a shale formation that are not well defined in terms of yield…at $100 bbl it can justify the risk…to what is referred to as “infield drilling” or drilling between proven wells where they own the reserves. This concentrates the water volumes into a smaller geographic area.
The Moore’s law of fracking is at work….drillers are getting more efficient and better at drilling tighter frac patterns which translates to more wells per pad (3 or 5 moving to 10 to 15) causing a conservative increase of the amount of water used and produced by a factor of say three.
And lastly, drillers are shifting from a “gel frac” formulation to what is called a “slick frac” approach. Gel fracs require about 75,000 bbls of water per frac where slick fracs require twice the amount of water - up to around 150,000 bbls per frac - a 2x multiplier for water.
So, assume the cumulative effect of these three drivers and you have dramatically changed the water value chain…increasing the water volumes in a smaller area of geography. Now it makes more economic sense to build a “hub and spoke” collection and treatment system. The spokes are a buried network of salt water gathering pipes (dramatically reducing the need for trucks…reducing windshield time…remember?) Everybody wins…the environment, road infrastructure, safety, public acceptance, greener and at around $2/bbl to transport the water, the E&P’s save lots of money. The hub is an SWD and potentially a recycling system to return clean salt water back to the drilling area with a sister return pipeline laid next to the collection pipe. Same set of savings apply to recycling by reducing the amount of fresh water required for the next set of fracs.
In closing , with analysts on both sides seeing energy prices going higher and lower in the year ahead, where do you see it headed and if prices rise will the new efficiencies in place be lost moving forward? Do you think the industry has learned to manage resources better and will hold on to that lesson?
I am not smart enough to predict where the price of oil is going, but as long as we price water as a valued resource - everybody will win.

Q. How is the course playing this morning?
KEEGAN BRADLEY: It was playing kind of tough. It was really windy, and it was -- this place can make a lot of birdies, but you can make bogeys and doubles really quick, so there were a lot of tough shots.
Q. You put yourself in a good position after three rounds. What has come together for you this week?
KEEGAN BRADLEY: I've been playing well for a while, and just trying to put it all together like we always say, all the clichés. But putted well today, hit the ball well. Really liking where my game's at.
Q. This is a course a lot of people like to play. But for you, it's a little bit of a home-field advantage. You had a lot of fans here the last few days. What kind of energy does that give you?
KEEGAN BRADLEY: It's really fun. They're very loud, very excited, New England fans. So nothing would give me more pleasure than to go out and shoot a good one tomorrow for them.
Q. Any shot to get your round kick started today, particularly in the back nine?
KEEGAN BRADLEY: I made about a 44-footer on the 4th hole after 1-over through three. So that was a big putt. Then I made a really good birdie putt on 13, a hole I needed to birdie. So a lot of good putts I holed today.
Q. Keegan, it seemed the course dried out really fast. Some things started getting tougher pretty quickly.
KEEGAN BRADLEY: Yeah, it was tough. I mean, we went out there, and the first couple holes were really kind of soft, and then it got windy. It firmed up. It's, again, it's a course where every hole is a birdie hole, and also where every hole is a bogey hole too. It's a tricky little course.
Q. Last night's ceremony at Fenway, I don't suppose you were there, but I'm guessing you watched it?
KEEGAN BRADLEY: I wasn't. I watched it. It was awesome. I'm pumped, definitely.
Q. How was the wind today as far as on the course?
KEEGAN BRADLEY: Yeah, it seems to blow just enough here to make it interesting. It was blowing a good 15 the whole day. Some of those holes in the back with all the water and the doglegs can get really tricky.
Q. You said every hole was birdie and bogey; which one was in your mind the most?
KEEGAN BRADLEY: 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 are all birdie holes, but they're all very difficult shots. Like 13 is a birdie hole par-5 downwind, but there is not a comfortable shot on that hole. You can go around there and 5-, 6-under, or you can go around there 5-, 6-over. So it's important to go through there with a good score.

Above the comical classic “Monty Python” sketch, “The Comfy Chair!”
Today’s article is about the exercise of British Sovereignty – although it may not be immediately apparent! Read on Dear Reader…..
The news that Navinder Singh Sarao faces a possible whole of life sentence for a non violent financial crime should be of great concern to all those who seek a compassionate as well as just criminal justice system.
Mr Saro, a British futures trader has been accused of market manipulation triggering a 1,000 point fall in the Dow Jones on 6th May 2010, wiping almost $1 trillion off the value of the market.
It is claimed that Mr Sarao, nicknamed the ‘Hound of Hounslow’, made around £30 million in five years using an ‘automated trading program’ from a computer in his bedroom to manipulate prices.
Yesterday, at a ruling at Westminster Magistrates Court, the judge approved the extradition of 37-year old Sarao to the US to face 22 counts of fraud and commodity manipulation. If convicted the charges carry a maximum jail term of 380 years.
Herewith the report: http://citywire.co.uk/wealth-manager/news/uk-flash-crash-trader-loses-us-extradition-appeal/a893859?re=39226&ea=403959&utm_source=BulkEmail_WM_Daily_PM&utm_medium=BulkEmail_WM_Daily_PM&utm_campaign=BulkEmail_WM_Daily_PM
British Gazette comment: IF Mr Saro is guilty of what the US authorities accuse him of it is outrageous that such a non violent offender – with no previous convictions – be subjected to a sentence (whole of life without any possibility of release), a sentence handed out to serial killers.
But this is Justice US style. As Mr Madoff experienced to his cost.
The proper way the British government should deal with such cases is of course to terminate the present extradition treaty of which Sr Edward Grey’s description of Austria’s ultimatum to Serbia when he told Karl Max, Prince Lichnowsky, the German Ambassador to Britain that “Any nation that accepted conditions like that would really cease to count as an independent nation” could apply and demand a proper one.
That however appears to be an impossibility.
There is frequent talk in the British media – especially the BBC – about the “Special Relationship” between the UK and the USA. Precious little detail however is given.
What British Gazette readers MUST realise is this: the “Special Relationship” between the UK and the USA is the keystone of ALL British government policy. NB: we do not use the qualifier, “Foreign”.
This is why President Obama is prepared to do something unprecedented for a government leader – go “on the stump” in another country’s internal election campaign!
The ONE reason why the UK is a member of the EU is because the USA demands it.
British Gazette readers will no doubt have dis-pared in the past of capitulations by British government’s to the wishes of the US government – the current one sided extradition treaty being a prime example.
British Gazette readers no doubt will ask a one word question: Why?
The answer can be put in one word: Vanity.
British politicians desire to occupy the status of leaders of a significant world power. They glory in the country’s status as a Permanent Member with Veto power on the UN Security Council. They glory in every opportunity to attend G7/G8 meetings and hob-nob with the US President, China’s President and (when the USA allow it) President Putin.
There is however a price to pay and that price is a heavy price: It is to do what the USA wants it to do. This is why a British government (not just the arch-traitor Heath) ignored Lord Kilmuir’s opinion (http://www.englishconstitutiongroup.org/damning-letter-from-lord-kilmuir-the-lord-chancellor-to-edward-heath-2/) and broke their Privy Council oaths and put HM the Queen in breach of her Coronation Oath and had the UK join the European Community, later European Economic Community, now European Union.
The essence of the UK-US Special Relationship is this: The US will ensure that the status the UK enjoyed in 1945 will be maintained. In return the UK will ensure that US Foreign Policy (and other selected policy areas – such as the aforementioned lop-sided extradition treaty) will receive full UK co-operation.
This of course brings us to the consequences of Brexit. Something not appreciated it seems by such as The Honourable Jacob Rees-Mogg the Member for North East Somerset and Nigel Farage.
Both of these gentleman want Brexit. Both appear to be of the opinion that having secured Brexit, the UK can continue on the international stage much as before.
If they believe this they are sorely mistaken!
President Obama has to his credit already hinted at this. He has said that if Brexit occurs the relationship the UK has with the USA will change. Jacob Rees-Mogg and Nigel Farage should believe this for President Obama means what he says.
A post Brexit UK cannot expect and will not receive the same prominence given to it in international circles. An early casualty will be the UK’s permanent member status on the Security Council. The most likely scenario for this, given the Realpolitik situation (China would veto Japan’s candidacy, Pakistan and Turkey would object to India’s candidacy) would be for France to give her seat to the European Union and for the UK to give her seat to the African Union. An early consequence of this is the UK being forced to treat with Argentina over the status of the Falkland Islands.
Thus the fact of the matter is likely this: That the British Realpolitik situation means that the Tory Brexiteers will settle for a compromise. This is why the leader of the Tory Brexiteers, Boris (For it is He!) Johnson will likely conclude what Boris describes as a “British Deal” this will most likely be a halfway house between the Norway Option and the “Deal” contained in the unenforceable and therefore invalid “legally binding agreement” handed to the Chameleon by Frau Doktor Merkel.
What then will Boris’s “British Deal” look like? We hear you ask.
Probably the Norway Option but without EFTA Membership – and thereby meaning in the EU but as an Associate Member and also without restoration of the British Fishing Grounds. In other words, the EU will continue to possess our fish and our fishermen will continue to be robbed of what is rightfully theirs.
This is why Boris has made no mention of the fishing issue to date and will unlikely do so!
The behind the scenes figure in these negotiations will be US Secretary of State Kerry and whoever succeeds him. This is because NO mainstream British politician is prepared to pay the price for Brexit!
This is also why the Chameleon was handed the stalk of the fig leaf and not even a fig leaf at the end of his so called negotiation. The whole charade including this referendum campaign is as the British Gazette has previously stated a massive coup de théâtre!
Please Dear Reader, look at the FACTS: Mr Boris Johnson is an intelligent man. Yet he behaved like a blustering buffoon before the Parliamentary Select Committee! And – and this is the telling point – the opposition (the Remainers) allowed him to get a way with it!
Here is another FACT: both sides are shovelling out bullshit by the Tonne (Remainers) Imperial Ton (Leavers)! They are prattling about negotiating a free trade agreement within months and implementing it after the two years of Article 50 severance – an impossibility. No mention is being made (by either side) of the international consequences of a Brexit.
When one side is making huge unforced errors which are not immediately being picked up and used by the other side and vice-versa one can there can only be one logical conclusion: the whole thing is FIXED!
Here is another FACT: In international diplomacy; REALPOLITIK RULES! OK?
The professional diplomats in the US State Department and the civil servants at the European Commission together with the heads of the EU’s governments realise that if the European Union is to survive it must embrace reform and that this reform cannot include the UK as no British government could obtain the British People’s consent for further integration. This reform process must happen by 2020 or the EU will fall apart!
So how will things look if the Brit’s vote for Brexit?
Expect some compromise on the Free Movement of People the quid pro quo will be contained in the UK’s fishing grounds. The EU will get to keep them and we get some limited concessions of FM in return. The UK will have some more internal autonomy but will still be tied in with the European Arrest Warrant, EU Security and importantly – because the USA demands it – the EU’s Foreign and Defence Policy. This continued surrender of British Sovereignty will ensure the US agrees to continued PM status at the Security Council for the UK and France.
Some attentive readers will note that your Editor has not made any mention of the nuclear deterrent. Your Editor refuses to do so as he does not wish to enjoy the austere comforts of HM Prison Belmarsh – for what would be an extended period!
This neatly returns us to the unfortunate Mr Sarao of Hounslow!
Were (and this has to be hypothetical as Mr Saro must be deemed innocent of any wrongdoing) Mr Saro to receive a sentence of 380 years from a US judge – which would amount to a whole of life sentence – he would be offered to serve his sentence in a British prison.
We have referred to the austere comforts of HM Prison Belmarsh. This is because they are. DO NOT believe the rubbish spewed out from time to time by such as the Daily Mail about supposed “holiday camp” conditions in British Prisons. They are not and never have been “holiday camps”!
However, conditions in US prisons are immeasurably harsher and therefore were Mr Saro to find himself in the deeply unenviable position of facing a lifetime in prison, it is to borrow a phrase from a certain Mr Tim Farron on another subject, a “No Brainer” for him to accept any offer to serve such in a British Prison with extreme alacrity!
Now at this point your Editor craves the indulgence of Mr Saro himself as he hopes Mr Saro will not object if we now hypothesise about a situation based on Mr Saro having done what the US authorities suggest he has done and receives a whole of life sentence for such offences.
The offence is clearly fraud and on a massive scale. Taking the case of the unfortunate Mr Hayes (http://www.british-gazette.co.uk/2015/12/22/tom-hayes-an-inadequate-redress-of-a-grievance/) who now faces 5 years 6 months in custody (half the 11 year sentence he has now received) we would suggest that were he to be found guilty after pleading not guilty to all charges in a US court, 11 years custody would be a tough sentence. Were he to receive a 380 year (whole of life) sentence from a US judge we suggest that were he to be so incarcerated in the British Prison system some special arrangements should be made for the unfortunate Mr Saro after serving say 5 years 6 months of his “whole of life” sentence. He should in fact be given the custodial equivalent of Monty Python’s comfy chair. We would suggest he could serve the remainder of his sentence at one of the open prisons but with a much enhanced privilege status – allowing him for instance periods of “home leave” for supposed “rehabilitation purposes” – this of course for a man destined to die in prison.

Lady Bird (2017)
Can you reinvent yourself in your home town? Christine's trying by insisting everyone call her Lady Bird, auditioning for roles in her school's theatrical crew, taking summer jobs, and making those cautious first steps into dating. Her mother Marion is doing her best to keep their house afloat while indulging in Lady Bird's new boisterous personality. Greta Gerwig wrote the screenplay for and directs Lady Bird, which stars Saoirse Ronan and Laurie Metcalf.
The only strong complaint I have against Lady Bird groaned into existence in the opening few minutes. It was clear this was going to be another coming-of-age film for star Saoirse Ronan, who starred in the coming-of-age film Brooklyn not too long ago and left an indelible mark on me with the violent fable Hanna. Ronan is positively smashing in Lady Bird but I felt this twinge of wondering when she would be able to break out of the John Cusack-esque loop of coming-of-age films.
That complaint was quickly snuffed out of my mind looking at all that lovely film grain on the screen and listening to the argument escalate between Christine "Lady Bird" McPherson (Ronan) and her mother Marion (Laurie Metcalf.) This signaled a different kind of coming-of-age film, one that wasn't interested in capturing the pristine look of adolescence or creating myths out of imagination. Those have their place, but Lady Bird plays rough and writer/director Greta Gerwig uses the rough texture and rapidly escalating fight between Lady Bird and Marion to set up a tone of turbulence that reaches no easy catharsis.
I may be kinda tired of seeing Saoirse Ronan in coming-of-age roles but she finds a way to make each feel completely different every damn time.
Gerwig does something rare here by presenting a mother/daughter relationship without the endless font of wisdom we've come to expect from the former or the rugged correctness of the latter. Lady Bird and Marion are both pillars that serve as battering ram and stability with their conversations able to go from near-violent outpourings of grievances to tender love. The overall color of Lady Bird is desaturated, becoming more vibrant most often when Lady Bird and Marion collide in peace or anger. There's one lovely conversation where the two are at rest, mom in her blue hospital gown and daughter in her blue towel, with the light gently touching them both as Lady Bird opens up about when the right time for sex is.
Their conversations aren't always so peaceful. Gerwig really gets at the harm teenagers can cause when they have some of the knowledge but not the experience of their elders. Lady Bird is often wrong in her expressive bursts of rage, and she's not aware of how much blood she can extract without her mother stepping in to direct some of that back to her. Whether it comes from a shove or from a shout, there comes a time for many where the parent realizes they can't treat their child like a kid anymore. For me, it was when I made my dad so angry he shoved me down then I got right up and shoved him back. Lady Bird's is more dramatic, fitting her personality, with her challenging her mother to tell her how much it cost to raise her and Marion hitting back that Lady Bird will never make enough money to pay her back.
Lady Bird's flair for the dramatic gives Ronan more room to play robust in her seemingly never-ending well of talent. Of course Lady Bird wants to go to a liberal arts school, the first time she steps onstage for a school audition Gerwig surrounds Lady Bird in darkness so that the energy in her movements feels propulsive. The frequently dull color palette contributes to this, that Lady Bird is never in her own element and needs a grander stage like a city in order to really find herself. It's another sign of how she's her mother's daughter with Marion using her husband, and Lady Bird's father, Larry (Tracy Letts - doing Richard Jenkins-level work here) as the stage for her emotional outbursts.
Larry hints at another side of Lady Bird that hits close to home for me in the way depression affects people differently. There aren't the obvious signs audiences come to expect from those with depression, but they're there. He has to be snapped back to attention when zoning out in front of the computer, beams with unexpected happiness when getting a hug from Lady Bird, and the way the Letts makes his entire body seem like a lead weight of unhappiness when quiet information receives a loud announcement precisely gets at how personal gains don't make for automatic happiness. Marion makes the point directly, but its in Letts' performance and similar excellent work from Stephen Henderson that may end up informing audiences about depression better than most pamphlets.
The sudden emotional twists in Lady Bird are navigated exquisitely with virulent disagreements breaking with loving acceptance.
The family drama is so well-done that the moments of comedic excellence bolt out as dramatically as Lady Bird's on-stage work. She gets into a couple of relationships where the first is neatly summed up by eventual boyfriend Danny (Lucas Hedges) saying of his family, "Irish-Catholic, it's hard to find someone to date who isn't my cousin." The biggest laughs came from an unexpected source of energy and confidence for Lady Bird's theatrical crew, making the most of an unexpected situation, and beaming with pride when his work gets rewarded.
Lady Bird doesn't reinvent the coming-of-age formula so much as strip it of the sentimental baggage that comes from adults looking back at the past. As a result it is far more raw and honest, but no less entertaining, than other coming-of-age films. Gerwig is already a spectacular talent in front of the camera and Lady Bird shows there may be an untapped reservoir of storytelling in the years to come.
Screenplay written and directed by Greta Gerwig.
Starring Saoirse Ronan and Laurie Metcalf.

CHRISTMAS with EMILE PANDOLFI, pianist
February 11, 2013 /in Event, in the Main Theatre /by Adrienne
December 7, 2013 @ 1:00 am – 2:30 am
Carrollwood Cultural Center (Main Theatre)
Carrollwood Cultural Center
Event in the Main Theatre
It has been said that he plays “luxurious arrangements” with an “ethereal quality”; that he plays in a “free-flowing, emotional manner that seems to go to the music’s very soul.” (Stereophile Magazine) Without a doubt, when you hear Emile Pandolfi play, you know that you are hearing one of today’s finest pianists. Receiving his degree in piano performance, Emile applies his classical technique to Broadway and Popular music, in addition to classical performance, to the delight of his many fans. Strong in both technique and musicality, he has performed in many parts of the world throughout his professional career. Best known for his arrangements, Emile’s favorite music to arrange comes from Broadway musicals. “In addition to being melodically fulfilling, these songs usually contain meaningful lyrics and lend themselves to interesting arrangement”. In many of his arrangements, one can hear the influence of Chopin and Debussy, accounting for the sensitivity and passion with which he plays.
Recording since 1991, his lush arrangements of familiar music have sold over two and a quarter million copies nationally. This has earned Emile the distinction of being the top-selling artist in the alternative music industry, distributed primarily in specialty, gift and book shops across the nation.
While he was growing up, the Pandolfi home was known as “the place to gather” and music was always associated with fun. That attitude continues today in Emile’s live performances. And, although serious about his playing, Emile is never serious about himself. While the audience is treated to a brilliant musical performance, they are also entertained by Emile’s charming sense of humor and friendly personality.
Whether you experience Emile Pandolfi on recording or in live performance, you will experience the intensity and skill of communication that can only come from a true artist, in every sense of the word. And you just may find yourself inspired along the way!

Chelsea 1-1 Liverpool: I feel robbed because we almost got over the line.

http://www.chelseadaft.org/2018/10/chelsea-1-1-liverpool-i-feel-robbed.html
Match report written by Alex Churchill from the fantastic Chelsea Blog - A Girl Who Likes Balls. Batten down the hatches and hold onto your hats, she tells it exactly as it is.
Us: The now standard nine that go on the team sheet every top game, with The Beard preferred over Morata, unsurprising when you factor in Van Dick, as Alf Garnett (sitcoms alias) rechristened him yesterday. And Willian gets the start that he usually fights out with Pedro Pony.
Them: I just don't care. Eleven tedious w*nkers. One of whom was dressed as a radioactive f*cking marshmallow. Led by the most tedious of all, Jordan Horrendousen, as he was dubbed in the Shed Upper. Who by all that is right and just in the world based on his capabilities should be flipping horsemeat patties somewhere in the northeast.
So it's standard now with them. You want to get through the first half an hour without them banging in two goals, or preferably conceding at all, so that the game actually becomes something more intelligent than everybody bombing up and down and seeing who's ahead when the final whistle goes. As expected, the pace for this opening spell was absolutely relentless from both sides. Horrendouson started whinging on precisely 1 minute. He makes Rooney look stoic. (That fat Scouser what moved to America) The first decent chance from them came on ten minutes, but went soaring over the bar. In the first quarter of an hour, thanks to the feigning of injuries and trying to hide the ball, Mane had gone from being someone I don’t give a toss about to someone I actively wanted to punch in the face. It made it ten times funnier when he shanked a half chance wide.
Refwatch: Andre Marriner?! Are you serious? Why not just sprinkle us all with petrol and torch us. It would be less painful than a match with this moron in charge. His general atrocious, attempts to police a game of football started to go downhill in the third minute, with the most laughable example of an advantage I've ever seen in my life. Here's a hint. It's not an advantage if they are still kicking you. A couple of minutes later again. Apparently when you retain the ball for 0.4 of a second after being fouled it is not an advantage. The nicest thing I can say about him is that I was a bit surprised he wasn’t more sh*t.
We were stringing some good play together, but the end product wasn’t there. That said, Eden was clearly in the mood today, after dumping Alexander-Arnold on his a*se he swaggered away with that walk of his. The one that says “I’m going to f*ck you right up.” As was entirely predictable, the pace of the game waned slightly, else they’d have all collapsed, but we were getting towards that magical half hour mark when BOOM! Hazard. Though the radioactive marshmallow should have saved it from where we were sitting. First blood to us, accompanied with loud chants of No Noise from the History Boys. We could have had another almost straight away. On 27 minutes a ball was pinged into the Beard, but without enough pace on it to make his header damaging. A minute later though, Luiz, who headbutted away just about every troublesome ball that came his way, was making a clearance for us. Then the score was maintained by a block of epicness by Rudi. Just get to half time Chelsea, please.
Predictably, the darks arts were in play. Robertson had an automatic two hands on the back of anyone within reach. On the half hour Marriner, being a twat, awarded a free kick after a ludicrous Milner dive. The fourth roll was probably unnecessary, and the size of his cranium repeatedly smacking the pitch registered 4.2 on the Richter Scale. I’ve never seen him so animated. Even with the worst case of crabs in history you never will again. Another one of them was hanging onto Willian with two hands as he tried to lay what would have been a perfect ball to Eden. My favourite? The embarrassing sight of Van Dick rolling about on the floor feigning agony and waffling about how hard done by he was when The Beard put him on the floor. After he’d spent an entire half molesting him. By all sense of moral decency he should have proposed marriage at full time. Even for a Scouser the hypocrisy was damning. But the away end was blissfully quiet. And we had managed not to do anything stupid by the time the break came. Get in.
I expected an onslaught of teeth and hair from their front three now after Klopp lit a rocket under them at half time, and yet it was strangely lacking. In fact some great play almost set Eden in straight away. Mighty Salah, in the meantime, was backing out of going up against Rudi at the other end. Eden had so much space it was laughable, after Klopp’s arrogant insistence that they weren’t going to man mark him. Horrendousen couldn’t even get close enough to foul him. He was having such a shit day that he was lying in the centre circle playing possum. Of course he made a miraculous recovery as soon as the ball was put out though.
They began to press more, but I wouldn’t say we were under the cosh. The biggest save from Kepa had been when Dave played a ball back to him that went a bit wayward. He was called into action though on 57. Universal opinion around us was that Courtois never would have got down to that, he was so quick to the ground. More a suprised observation as to his capability than a dig at our former keeper. We had opportunities to win it too, namely a one on one that was kept out by the radioactive marshmallow. But legs were getting tired, it had been relentless. 65 and Morata came on for The Beard. It gave them a different kind of problem to mark up front, but I was sceptical. Yes the long ball wasn’t working, but he just wasn’t going to menace Van Dick enough at the back, and far from simply affecting our goalscoring opportunities, it meant they were unharassed in attempting to start off playing the ball out from the back. The Beard had relentless antagonised the Scouse defence all afternoon.
Salah left for Shaqiri on 66. It was basically like giving us a twelve men. He was mugged twice in two minutes, once by Alvaro; he missed a complete sitter, and a free kick into the box missed everyone. Kovacic had a shot saved on 68 going towards the corner, but the game was getting scrappy. It was rife for someone to be punished for an error. Luiz repelled it off the line on 72 minutes, before Willian was off for Moses. We could really have done with Pedro Pony today. They were really pinging the ball about now, trying to get the tempo up again. Victor was away on 76 minutes, whence Milner did all that someone of his limited IQ and imagination could and brought him down. Horrendousen went off for Keita, and they looked to be running out of ideas. But we were running out of steam. Ten minutes to go and Barkley was on to match Keita’s energy, but when the chips fell after all the changes, it was slightly in their favour, though they still couldn’t put it in the net. A free kick went straight to Kepa, Keita followed it up with an appalling shot.
The clock was moving so slowly that if he had hair, Alf Garnett would have been ripping it out. Milner was off, and Kepa told Marriner to f*ck off as stood and had a drink before putting the ball back into play; while the referee, for the first time in at least a decade, appeared to have suddenly developed a conscience when it came to time-wasting.
Sturridge on. Their last roll of the dice. Don’t you dare even think about it you nasty little git. Morata had begun to deliver some crunching tackles to break up their play, but out of nowhere, minutes after his introduction, one of a number of our rejects now resident on Merseyside went and equalised. Who else but the guy who did nothing but whine at Chelsea with a goal the likes of which he will never, ever repeat in this lifetime. Four minutes added on, during which there were handbags in their box as we tried to get it over the line, Marriner didn’t notice when they gave themselves 10 yards headstart on a free kick and Luiz responded by sarcastically taking one of ours basically off the pitch to shut him up when he couldn’t resist interfering with one of ours that was a foot out of place.
So: Jesus wept. The bellends think it's May. You know when you're closing in on the league and every last point you can grab is taking you closer to the trophy and you disproportionately overreact to them all? That's what they were like. It didn't seem to register that Salah was all style and no substance, Mane was dogsh*t and Firminho was anonymous. Which let me tell you with those teeth is no mean feat. They were reliant on a never-has-been who until this week has never stayed fit for four days in a row in his entire career. And certainly won't ever score another goal like that.
I feel robbed because we almost got over the line. But that said, we are the only ones so far to have played multiple top end rivals, I think, and we are still unbeaten. We've played these muppets, who along with the Press Plebs think they are the second coming, twice in a week and come out without losing. They've only escaped from double defeat by the ill-judged grace of something deeply skulduggerous and unholy. e.g. Sturridge doing something that justifies his employment. All we've heard in the opening weeks of the season is yackworthy waxing lyrical about how, with City, they are far ahead of us and the rest of the pack. One more fixture takes us into yet another sh*tty international break. And they've got to play City in theirs. So by just getting it done at Southampton we could find ourselves level with both of them at the top. Their coach just went past me on the way out of West London and as it slowed to a crawl I felt the urge to run and kick the giant red b*stard with my girly little foot. I settled for more gin instead. And chuckling mightily at the coincidental draw (at a stupid time on a Saturday night) that is going to see Frank return home in the cup.

Video: Google Launches RechargeIT Plug-In Hybrid Car Initiative
June 19, 2007 Omar Rana
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oDjSbWTJbdo
Google’s philanthropic arm today announced the RechargeIT initiative. Google.org awarded $1 million in grants and announced plans for a $10 million request for proposals (RFP) to fund development, adoption and commercialization of plug-ins, fully electric cars and related vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology. Google aims to speed up the adoption of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles.
As part of the program, RechargeIT has created a test fleet of cars consisting of conventional Prius and Ford Escape Hybrid cars as well as several Prius and Ford Escapes that have been retrofitted to become plug-in hybrid vehicles.
For example, the regular Toyota Prius gets 40.9 mpg while the Toyota Prius Plug-in from RechargeIT gets 73.6. To date, RechargeIT plug-in hybrids are averaging about 75 miles per gallon of gasoline which is four times that of the average car on the road in the US today.

Professor Madeleine Gray - Medieval Historian
Llywelyn ab Iorwerth
The Politics of the Royal Bed
by Madeleine Gray | posted in: Welsh History | 0
… or ‘the politics of The Royal Bed’ – this being the title of Sion Eirian’s English-language adaptation of the Saunders Lewis play Siwan. Yes, it’s a play that puts the female perspective centre stage; yes it’s a good part for a mature woman, yes it’s about medieval Wales, yes Sion Eirian’s translation shares all this with a wider audience. Well worth going to the premiere at Newport’s Riverfront theatre in mid February, or catching it on its Welsh tour.
But. I can’t help feeling it’s a pity that modern drama about the period still focusses on Siwan’s affair with the young Marcher lord William de Breos and its emotional fallout. It’s the same episode that forms the centrepiece of Edith Pargeter (aka Ellis Peters)’s novel The Green Branch and Sharon Kay Penman’s Here be Dragons. There was so much more to Siwan than that. Illegitimate daughter of King John of England, she was married to Llywelyn ab Iorwerth of Wales when she was only 15, as part of a peace treaty. Her knowledge of the framework of power at the English court was invaluable to her husband. She was able to act as his channel of communication first with John and then with her half-brother Henry III, and she was a major power behind the scenes in a crucial period of the struggle for Welsh independence.
It’s a pity to neglect all that in favour of a love affair.
Llywelyn ab Iorwerth, Siwan

Eva Kolacz Biographical Note:
What circumstances will make a person leave their country, knowing that they will never be allowed to return? What makes a person leave behind everything they possess? What makes a person leave family and friends knowing they may never see them again? In 1981, Eva Kolacz, a young actress and poet, left Poland, then ruled by the Soviet Union, because the voices of artists and writers were silenced by censorship. She couldn’t travel freely.
Living behind the Iron Curtain she felt like a bird in a cage. With her daughter she travelled to Libya to join her husband, a civil engineer working under contract. The three of them ran to Italy and spent a few months in the refugee camp, Latina, before immigrating to Canada. Not knowing English, she chose to express herself visually through art and became a professional painter. Her poems were published in Polish magazines. It took her 25 years to write poems in English; this is her first book.

Janmashtami Anthem “Krishna” By Abhishek Talented Is Out Now!
Fateh Doe Dropped '15 Minutes' From His Album Bring It Home
By Deepa Unnikrishnan
Independence Day Special - 6 Hip Hop Tracks That Will Make You Think!
Music, News, Singles, Videos
DesiHipHop.com is proud to bring back this amazing track that made waves last year. Firstly, “Krishna” is a one of a kind track that will get you in touch with your devotional side. Rapper Abhishek Talented has put his heart and soul into this track about Lord Krishna. In under 3 minutes, Abhishek manages to capture the essence of some of the most memorable moments of Krishna. We bet you haven’t heard a track like this before!
According to research done by the Radio Mirchi team, this is the first ever Hindi rap track made on Lord Krishna. And what better day to hear it on than his birthday! On the occasion of Janmashtami, get ready for this insane rap track. From vocabulary to the emotions in the delivery, Abhishek’s work in this joint is sure to wow you. “Krishna” is produced by Case G who Abhishek Talented collaborated with through Facebook. In addition, the lyrical video is done by Karan Panchal, a Mumbai based artist who did phenomenally well with the lyrical outcast.
Abhishek believes as an artist he has always been bringing things which are un-parallel. From being the first ever rap artist from Bihar to breaking the stereotype about Biharis all over, Abhishek is doing it all through his music. As a matter of fact, his track “Krishna” was widely appreciated by rapper Raftaar. Raftaar shared it on his Facebook handle with a thrilling quote.
That marked a milestone for Abhishek personally. He believes his lyrics are insanely out of context, which he likes to call “Sanskritik” writing. Talking about the reactions he’s been receiving Abhishek stated, “Krishna is a masterpiece for me, I wrote it with purity and so were the reactions. As Karma works, you get what you do!”
DesiHipHop is exclusively distributing “Krishna” by rapper Abhishek Talented on all major platforms. Without further ado, check out the first ever Hindi rap about “Krishna” on Janmashtami –

Grief Counselling
Somatic Experiencing (SE)
Introduction to Gestalt Theory
A vase, people... or both? How we perceive an experience will differ from one person to the next.
Our history, personalities, ideas and desires will shape what we notice. Via a process of enquiry and curiosity an opportunity emerges for therapist and client to collaboratively explore and enquire into their own unique way of making sense of the world.
The objective of gestalt therapy is to support and enable the client to become more fully and creatively alive to promote awareness, support creative choice, encourage responsibility and facilitate connectedness in a person's efforts to realise a meaningful and fulfilling life.
Gestalt therapy posits a philosophical view of openness, transparency, kindness and compassion. The client and therapist will develop and co-create a unique relationship that will support qualities of trust and authenticity. Attention is directed toward exploring new sensations, feelings, thoughts and behaviour.
The therapeutic relationship is crucial as it illuminates the work that is necessary to help repair and heal.

Michael Mosier Defeat DIPG Foundation and The ChadTough Foundation are funding 10 new diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG)-specific research projects totaling more than $2.8 million over the next three years (2020-22). Two of the new grants will be made in partnership with SoSo Strong Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation.
“By working together, we are amplifying our capacity to make significant investments in DIPG-specific research,” says Defeat DIPG Executive Director Jenny Mosier. “It is the generosity, passion, and commitment of the Defeat DIPG and ChadTough supporter networks that propel our shared mission of finding a cure for this devastating disease.”
To date, the Defeat DIPG ChadTough grant program has committed $6.1 million to 23 DIPG research projects.
Jason Carr, President of The ChadTough Foundation, explains, “Our grant program is designed to push the field forward by investing in research that is likely to fuel progress and add to our understanding of this disease, while also ensuring we empower the next generation of researchers to bring this over the finish line for our children. We hope for a cure in the near term, but we realize we need a pipeline of researchers who have the expertise and drive to follow through with this work as long as needed.”
All projects for the Defeat DIPG ChadTough grant program are reviewed by the Defeat DIPG Scientific Advisory Council, an unparalleled group of experts in pediatric brain cancer who evaluate each application for scientific merit. “Our Scientific Advisory Council brings a breadth of experience and expertise that sets our grant program apart,” says Mark Mosier, Chair of the Defeat DIPG Board of Directors. “Their rigorous review of the many applications we receive ensures we are using donor funds as efficiently and effectively as possible.”
The Defeat DIPG Scientific Advisory Council is chaired by Suzanne Baker (St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital) and includes David Ashley (Duke University School of Medicine), Oren Becher (Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of Medicine), Cynthia Hawkins (Hospital for Sick Children), Duane Mitchell (University of Florida College of Medicine), Michelle Monje (Stanford University), and Javad Nazarian (University Children’s Hospital Zurich, Children’s National Medical Center).
The Defeat DIPG ChadTough grant program was structured with guidance from the Defeat DIPG Scientific Advisory Council to ensure the grant amount, duration, and criteria were shaped to achieve the most meaningful results to push the field forward. All of the Defeat DIPG ChadTough grants are multi-year grants, allowing researchers to spend more of their time in the lab and less seeking additional funding for future years. Researchers submit progress reports to ensure the studies are proceeding as anticipated.

This tells us that rough sex is commonly just about feeding our need for sexual novelty. Humans—men and women alike—generally tend to grow tired of sexual routines. We must maintain mixing issues up in order to maintain sexual pleasure, a phenomenon sex researchers check with as The Coolidge Effect. Before we go further, I ought to observe that the authors of this examine speak about these behaviors as “playful drive” somewhat than as abuse or violence. Keep in thoughts that these are consensual behaviors that, more often than not, occurred in the context of a long-term relationship and rarely (less than 1% of the time) resulted in any kind of serious damage.
Certain prescription medicines can also take the air out of his libido. Daniel Olavarria, LCSW, a therapist in New York City mentions selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, like Prozac and Lexapro, as drugs that listing sexual dysfunction as a aspect impact. “This is because of the fact that because the treatment is affecting neurotransmitters in your mind, it can inadvertently impression those tied to sexual arousal,” he says. These medications are bettering, and the unwanted side effects don’t affect everybody, but when your partner pops these tablets, that might level to the problem at hand.
The key thing to take away from that is that tough sex seems to be a normative sexual curiosity and we must be very cautious to tell apart it from sexual violence and relationship abuse. Rough sex Whats Your Number Baby is not exploitative—it’s consensual and the people who have it are reporting an intense, mutually pleasant expertise.
During sex, many women find it helpful to program their own Times Square news crawl with a repetitive mantra corresponding to “I can take as long as I want” or “This really feels nice” on their mental silent radio. It retains the brain occupied — but with a thought that may encourage sexual arousal somewhat than with a nervous, adverse thought that may decrease arousal. “Most ladies How To Use A Vibrating Cock Ring can’t orgasm each time they have sex, however they still take pleasure in themselves throughout sex,” Stubbs says. “It’s the same thing for men.” But if you’re noticing it’s happening together with your associate, don’t be afraid to speak to about it — in the proper means, of course.
If your innate orgasm threshold happens to be a 30, you’ll in all probability endure from premature ejaculation. You’ll most likely expend plenty of effort making an attempt to keep your arousal very low, so as not Snag Mr Right With An Enticing Adult Dating Website Profile to ejaculate instantly as soon as lovemaking will get began. As I discuss in my article, “Sex Tips for Married Lovers,” many couples think that if he’s onerous and she’s moist that they’re ready to have intercourse.
In the doggy type position, the woman may crouch on all fours while her associate performs oral intercourse on her from behind or from under. Women may contemplate private hygiene earlier than practicing oral sex necessary, as poor hygiene can result in bad odors, accumulation of sweat and micro-residue , which the giving partner might discover unpleasant.
Anxiety prevents you from enjoying sex along with your husband, so just be sure you’re not so tense, talk with him, take it slow and one step at a time. It’s a widely known fact that girls take extra time than males to have an orgasm. Since women and men don’t usually climax together, one of many main reasons that women haven’t got orgasms, is that males do not wait for them to be fully aroused, and so they end off the intercourse once they feel happy. The explanation why girls have sex can appear selfish and cunning to men generally.
We have relationships, love and social establishments like marriages. So intercourse just isn’t a mindless and instinctive act for human beings, particularly for the feminine species. There are some very specific reasons why women have intercourse.
If you’re a man who has difficulty ejaculating, likelihood is you’ll be able to have intercourse for hours. You could be a good gentleman, and ensure your associate plenty of orgasms. But after being an ideal gents, most males with this situation have problem ejaculating. Accordingly, the most How Do Cock Rings Work typical medical state of affairs in intercourse therapy with men who have difficulty ejaculating is that they can’t ejaculate during intercourse. One essential cause men with high orgasm thresholds have difficulty ejaculating during intercourse is that they hurry to penetrate earlier than they’re really prepared.
In Chinese Taoism, cunnilingus is revered as a spiritually-fulfilling practice that is believed to boost longevity. In fashionable Western tradition, oral sex is broadly practiced among adolescents and adults. A 2007 research discovered a correlation between oral intercourse and throat most cancers. It is believed that this is because of the transmission of HPV, a virus that has been implicated in the majority of cervical cancers and which has been detected in throat most cancers tissue in numerous research.
Run in affiliation with sexual properly-being model Smile Makers, the project presents four pictures displaying the development of every girl’s facial changes as she reaches – and recovers from – an orgasm. Despite lots of the 71 youngsters they interviewed saying that there was equality in giving and receiving oral sex, both teams agreed it was extra distasteful and a “greater deal” for males to carry out oral sex than girls. A new study has tackled the parable that some women can not achieve orgasms due to their perspective in direction of intercourse, by highlighting that anatomy plays and essential role.
Cultural views on giving or receiving cunnilingus vary from aversion to excessive regard. It has been thought of taboo, or discouraged, in many cultures and components of the world.
Most modern couples don’t automatically expect a girl with a excessive orgasm threshold to climax each time. And if she desires an orgasm, most fashionable couples find it perfectly acceptable for a girl to offer herself one in mattress with a partner — usually with avibrator.
In different words, we aren’t talking about behaviors where individuals really needed or tried to hurt a partner. The widespread attraction of rough intercourse can also be seen in people’s porn viewing habits. For instance, whenever you have a look at probably the most-seen genres on Pornhub, “rough intercourse” and “hardcore” pretty constantly seem within the prime third of categories year in and 12 months out. Interestingly, girls are even more likely to view this kind of porn than are men. When I surveyed greater than 4,000 Americans about their sexual fantasies for my book Tell Me What You Want, tough intercourse turned out to be one of the two most common things individuals had fantasized about.
Women’s Sexual Desire, and Why Men Often Don’t Recognize It We’ve realized so much about women’s sexual desire in the previous couple of a long time. To attain orgasm your self with a companion, you need a unique strategy — one which maximizes your individual arousal. Having a high orgasm threshold has sure advantages.
Hardness in a man, like wetness in a lady, can occur even at pretty low levels of psychological arousal. Men are inclined to have decrease orgasm thresholds, so most males can ejaculate even if they’re not very sexually excited.
“The worst thing you would do is be accusatory,” Stubbs says. If they are saying no, they usually say that they’re still enjoying themselves, then feel free to proceed as regular. Every girl’s body is completely different in relation to arousal, Mintz says, but the extra time couples spend kissing, caressing, and fascinating in oral sex, the more aroused she’s prone to be. Other lesbian or bisexual women believe that it is a necessity or largely defines lesbian sexual exercise.
Cunnilingus is an oral sex act performed by an individual on the vulva or vagina of another particular person.
Shere Hite’s analysis on human feminine sexuality reviews that, for most ladies, orgasm is well achieved by cunnilingus due to the direct clitoral stimulation that may be concerned through the act.
General statistics point out that 70-eighty% of girls require direct clitoral stimulation to attain orgasm.
Some girls remove or trim pubic hair, which may enhance their oral sex experience. Oral intercourse is often regarded as taboo, however most countries do not have legal guidelines which ban the apply. Commonly, Which Is The Best Rabbit Vibrator do not regard cunnilingus as affecting the virginity of either companion, whereas lesbian couples generally do regard it as a form of virginity loss. People may have adverse emotions or sexual inhibitions about giving or receiving cunnilingus or may refuse to have interaction in it. Fear of sex is among the primary components why ladies haven’t got an orgasm, which is broadly common among newlyweds.
As a lady, I even have a tough time not blaming myself when my male associate doesn’t come throughout sex. No matter how much I write about sex, or what number of specialists I communicate to, if we’re having intercourse and he can’t end, I spend the remainder of the night time questioning if there was one thing I might have done Guide To Rimming And Analingus in a different way. Mintz says the external clitoris is the actual center of feminine sexual pleasure, however she doesn’t dismiss the “g spot” — she says some women certainly discover it pleasurable. She says most women need direct clitoral stimulation — similar to oral sex and touching — to orgasm, however that is not often depicted.
So you can’t really count on them to make silly choices. Women have their distinctive set of needs and desires that might be hard for males to gauge. That is why; Boldsky provides you a listing of the highest explanation why women have intercourse with men.
The social development of ‘sex’ as vaginal intercourse impacts how other forms of sexual activity are evaluated as sexually satisfying or arousing; in some instances whether an exercise is seen as a sexual act at all. For example, until a girl has been penetrated by a person’s penis she is still technically a virgin even when she has had plenty of sexual expertise. People give various causes for his or her dislike or reluctance to carry out cunnilingus, or having cunnilingus carried out on them. Some regard cunnilingus and different types of oral intercourse as unnatural as a result of the practices do not end in copy. Some cultures connect symbolism to different components of the physique, main some people to consider that cunnilingus is ritually unclean or humiliating.
Lesbian couples are more likely to contemplate a girl’s dislike of cunnilingus as an issue than heterosexual couples are, and it is common for them to hunt remedy to overcome inhibitions concerning it. Chlamydia, human papillomavirus , gonorrhea, herpes, hepatitis , and different sexually transmitted infections (STIs/STDs), may be transmitted through oral sex. Any sexual change of bodily fluids with a person infected with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, poses a danger of an infection.
Cunnilingus may be sexually arousing for individuals and could also be performed by a sexual companion as foreplay to incite sexual arousal before different sexual activities or as an erotic and bodily intimate act by itself. Like most forms of sexual activity, oral sex could be a threat for contracting sexually transmitted infections (STIs/STDs). However, the transmission threat for oral intercourse, especially HIV transmission, is considerably decrease than for vaginal or anal intercourse. In fact, some women do not have an orgasm as a result of they skip foreplay, they usually engage in sexual activity whereas they’re not totally turned on.
General statistics indicate that 70-80% of girls require direct clitoral stimulation to attain orgasm. Shere Hite’s research on human female sexuality reports that, for most girls, orgasm is well achieved by cunnilingus due to the direct clitoral stimulation that may be involved in the course of the act. Cunnilingus is an oral intercourse act performed by a person on the vulva or vagina of one other particular person. The clitoris is essentially the most sexually sensitive part of the human female genitalia, and its stimulation might lead to a girl becoming sexually aroused or reaching orgasm.
Most straight couples put plenty of emphasis on penetrative intercourse. There are in fact a lot of other methods to make love besides penis-in-vagina intercourse. But most heterosexual couples don’t really feel fairly right except intercourse is somewhere on the menu.
All that’s wanted in therapy is to take your data of your personal arousal and adapt it to companion intercourse. Plus, a fulfilling sexual experience doesn’t at all times embody an orgasm for everybody concerned; have your enjoyable, and make sure he feels supported, too. If you’re each enjoying the act, and nobody is chafing, then you definitely’re doing A-okay.
Risk of STI infection, however, is mostly considered significantly decrease for oral sex than for vaginal or anal intercourse, with HIV transmission considered the bottom risk with regard to oral intercourse. Furthermore, the documented danger of HIV transmission via cunnilingus is lower than that associated with fellatio, vaginal or anal intercourse.
Most people—regardless of gender and sexual orientation—seem to have been turned on by the concept in some unspecified time in the future. What is the connection between tensing muscle groups and having an orgasm?
Effective Ways to…. Read more at https://t.co/ccUIa0Nc0y
What all of this tells us is that there isn’t just one cause why tough sex is such a well-liked sexual fantasy and porn theme. Instead, it turns out that there are plenty of different Top 5 Best Vibrating Dick Ring Reviews For Men factors that draw folks to it. Among the commonest triggers had been making an attempt one thing new, boredom, and playing out a fantasy.
The reality is, you possibly can’t always reliably reach an arousal level of eighty with a partner. Some days, for whatever cause, it’s just not going to happen. A fashionable man with a excessive orgasm threshold ought to count on the identical consideration most trendy ladies get underneath the identical circumstances. But throughout companion intercourse, many males spend a lot time thinking about whether or not theirpartneris aroused that they totally neglect their very own arousal. No matter what gender you’re, the fact that you’ll be able to achieve sufficient arousal for orgasm by yourself — and for your self — is a really positive sign.
Lastly, the opposite major set of triggers included situations the place individuals had been already in a heightened state of physiological arousal, similar to after a fight, being offended at one’s partner, and having just exercised. These triggers could be explained by something psychologists call excitation transfer, which happens when carryover arousal from one scenario amplifies our arousal or pleasure in an unrelated state of affairs. In other words, in case your physique is already amped up initially of a sexual encounter, that’s going to put the groundwork for pursuing a extra lively and intense experience. In truth, individuals appeared to actually be having fun with this sort of sex. Think of a Times Square billboard by which words stream into view from the left-hand aspect to the proper edge, and then disappear off the display.
If you need to know why girls have sex, then you will have to know their psychology out and in. A Brazilian photographer has captured the faces of ladies before, during and after orgasms in a bid to ‘break down the limitations of female sexual nicely-being’. Young girls are more probably than males to carry out oral intercourse on their associate even when they don’t wish to, according to researchers. In my intercourse remedy office, I encourage couples to give a man who has difficulty ejaculating the identical consideration. And if he desires one after you each really feel intercourse has gone on lengthy enough, for heaven’s sake let him pull out and give himself one along with his own hand.

Home Entertainment Relief for Salman Khan by Rajasthan High Court
Relief for Salman Khan by Rajasthan High Court
In a big relief to Bollywood superstar Salman Khan, the Rajasthan High Court on Monday stayed police investigation against him for allegedly making derogatory comments about Valmiki community.
Salman, while promoting Tiger Zinda Hai, had compared his dancing skills to that of bhangi, a member of a scheduled caste community. This had led to protests in Rajasthan, where members of Valmiki community disrupted the screening of the film.
Actor Shilpa Shetty too had made similar remarks using the term ‘bhangi.’ She had later tweeted an apology asking for forgiveness for inadvertently hurting the sentiments of Valmiki community.
Police complaints were filed in Mumbai, Jaipur and Delhi against Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif, who was present in the TV show, where the Tiger Zinda Hai had appeared to promote their film.
Salman is currently busy shooting his next film, Race 3, starring Jacqueline Fernandez, Daisy Shah, Bobby Deol, Anil Kapoor and Saqib Saleem. The film is scheduled to hit theatres in December this year.

Prince Charles Gave a Rare Interview About Fashion & Jokes His Style Is 'Like A Stopped Clock'
Prince Charles is opening up in a very rare interview with British Vogue, speaking about something most wouldn’t associate him with – fashion.
His Royal Highness, the Prince of Wales, spoke to the publication about his involvement in The Modern Artisan, sustainable fashion and even spoke about finding a new normal within the pandemic.
On sustainable fashion: “Well, I’m one of those people who hate throwing anything away. Hence, I’d rather have them maintained, even patched if necessary, than to abandon them. The difficulty is, as you get older, you tend to change shape, and it’s not so easy to fit into the clothes. I can’t bear any waste, including food waste; I’d much rather find another use. Which is why I’ve been going on for so long about the need for a circular economy, rather than a linear one where you just make, take and throw away – which is a tragedy, because inevitably we over-exploit natural resources that are rapidly depleting.”
On finding a new normal: “I rather hope it [the pandemic] will accelerate awareness of what we need to do in order to rescue our world from disaster. We need to understand that nature and everything on this planet is interconnected; you cannot do one thing without having an impact somewhere else…There are wonderful things going on, but we need to scale up. This is why I’ve got the Sustainable Markets Initiative going – to try to build a global alliance between business and banking and investment and consumers. Because the consumer has immense power in deciding where to buy from, and the best companies will lead the way, we hope, in demonstrating that if you follow the right principles of operation, not only are you moving more and more towards net zero but also you’re removing pollution and emissions from supply chains.”
On his own style: “I thought I was like a stopped clock – I’m right twice every 24 hours. But no, I mean, I’m very glad you think it has style. I mind about detail and colour and things like that – and colour combinations. I’m lucky because I can find marvellous people who are brilliant makers of the things that I appreciate, and because of that, I try to keep them going for longer.”
If you didn’t seen, a new report suggested that Charles could have a new role in the royal family next year. Read more on that here…

A new Irish whiskey surfaced in South Africa last October. Called Jameson Select Reserve, it's a curiosity, quite distinct from its siblings in the Jameson family. Most obvious is the prominent sherry nose. Sherry-matured whiskey is a component of all the Jemmies but it is nowhere so obvious as here. That carries through on the taste but it's not overwhelming. We just have a beautiful spicy vanilla sweetness followed up by a delicate pencil-shaving wood finish. Very pleasant.
The box says:
A high proportion of single Irish pot still whiskey complements a rare, sweet small-batch grain whiskey to produce a luxuriously rich taste experience.
Extensive use of first fill bourbon and sherry casks in the maturation adds character and depth, and contributes to the overall smoothness.
Traditional notes of toasted wood, spice and vanilla are enhanced by creamy, luscious touches of dried apricots, nectarines and papaya.
Looking under the hood, what we have is a blend including about 75% 12-year old pot still whiskey. 20% of that has been matured in sherry casks.
The rest of the blend is 5-year old grain whiskey. But it's not your everyday grain. It is distilled in the same column still in Midleton that produces all the grain but the knobs have been set differently here. This particular grain is made only for a few days every year and it has never, until now, been used in a released whiskey. That's why the bottle's label declares this a "Small Batch" release.
We have yet to get a sniff of Jameson Select in the Northern Hemisphere. It will get here eventually, so I'm told. The packaging anticipates a far wider distribution too:
For now, the geographical limitation is a reminder that South Africa is a key market for whiskey. It may be an awkward one because of the legal requirement to bottle at 43% ABV instead of 40% but such naked protectionism is not discouraging the whiskey producers. Perhaps they see South Africa as a foothold in an untapped continent. A recent article in African Business Review considered Diageo's prospects there:
Nick Blazquez, President of Diageo Africa, also identified whisky as a key area for growth, with the company currently shifting around 2.5 million cases of whisky a year.
"South Africa is very significant for us, but actually growth in West Africa - Nigeria, Cameroon, Ghana - is even faster," said Blazquez.
"More consumers have got disposable income and we see this rapidly evolving middle class. I expect Scotch sales to accelerate in Africa."

The Llanelli Herald
Consultation on the housing allocations policy
Jason Cooper
Carmarthenshire County Council is seeking the public’s views on its housing allocations policy.
An online consultation is underway on the council’s website, which asks everyone to give their opinion on proposals to change it.
The council’s housing department will soon be reviewing the allocation policy, to take into account new housing legislation and local housing need.
Findings from the consultation will help inform officers and members ahead of future decisions.
Cllr Linda Evans, Executive Board Member for Housing, said: “We want to build up a better picture about what people want, and who they think deserves priority when homes become available.
“Of course, we must meet our legal obligations, but the feedback will help us ensure that we offer homes to applicants in the fairest and most appropriate way.”
The consultation will be live until March 14, and the final Access to Social Housing Policy will be published in June 2016.
The draft policy and consultation questions are available at http://ilocal.carmarthenshire.gov.uk/consultations

A BRIEFCASE full of drugs has been recovered during a raid in Swansea suburb.
Police acting on information provided by a member of the public executed a warrant in Gorseinon and recovered a large quantity of cannabis.
A man was arrested on suspicion of possession of the class B drug, with intent to supply.
A South Wales Police spokesman said: “At around 5.40pm on Wednesday, January 6, following an intelligence led operation, a 68 year-old man from Gorseinon was arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply cannabis.
“He was taken to Swansea central police station for questioning. He has been released under investigation”.
New Year – new start – for two seals released back into the wild
Two grey seal pups have been returned to the wild for the New Year following months of RSPCA rehabilitation.
They were released at Port Eynon, Gower, Swansea, on 3 January as the sun rose – just days into 2021 – by RSPCA animal rescue officer Ellie West and RSPCA inspector Keith Hogben – who caught the beautiful event on camera. One seal had been originally rescued from Abereiddy in Pembrokeshire – the other from Trevone in Cornwall. They were both found in distress, underweight and with injuries.
Ellie said: “This was such a lovely release – to see them both enter the sea happily where they belong with the sun rising in the distance was just glorious. It was a lovely way to start the new year.”
The seals had been transferred to the Welsh coast from RSPCA Mallydams Wood Wildlife Centre in Hastings the previous day and had spent the night at the RSPCA Llys Nini Branch seal unit.
“These two pups – nicknamed BB8 and Luke Skywaker – have been in the fantastic care of RSPCA Mallydams Wood Wildlife Centre who have given them the best rehabilitation over the past few months. It’s always fantastic to hear when they have put on the appropriate weight and can be released back into the wild,” added Ellie.
Ellie had been involved in the initial care of the seal rescued from Abereiddy Beach back in October.
“He was a weaned pup that had pretty much moulted out all his baby white lanugo coat, so he was fully weaned, but he was found quite underweight, lethargic and had the snotty face of a sickly pup,” she said. “He also had a lump on the top of his neck.
“He was reported to myself and Keith and we asked Welsh Marine Life Rescue (WMLR) to attend who very kindly collected him and cared for him for a few days until we were able to transfer him to the wildlife centre.
“Once again we want to thank WMLR for all their assistance, expertise and all their hard work this past season. We could not do what we do without them.”
At RSPCA Mallydams Wood Wildlife Centre the seal had the lump removed under anaesthetic by the vet team.
The second seal from Cornwall came into RSPCA care in November and weighed just 16.3kg. The seal had suffered a few small wounds and was a bit wheezy, with centre staff treating him for lungworm and administering antibiotics. When he left the centre the seal – who was named Luke Skywalker – weighed a healthy 40kg.
Before release, the seals were given identification tags in their hind flippers for ID purposes. The RSPCA often receives good feedback from sightings – and the scientific results received reveal that seals that go on from rehabilitation survive in the wild.
The RSPCA advises that if members of the public spot a seal on a beach that they think might need help, the best thing is to observe them from a distance and do not approach them.
Seals are wild animals and have a nasty bite. Never try to return a seal to water yourself, as you may put yourselves and the seal at risk by doing this. It is also advised they keep dogs away from any seal and keep them on leads on beaches that have seal colonies too.
It’s not unusual for a seal pup to be alone, as seal mums leave their pups very early on in life. So if the seal pup looks fit and healthy and shows no signs of distress, it should firstly be monitored from a safe distance for 24 hours.
If you see a pup whose mother hasn’t returned within 24 hours, is on a busy public beach, or if you think the seal may be sick or injured, please stay at a safe distance and call the RSPCA’s advice and cruelty line on 0300 1234 999. An unhealthy seal pup looks thin (but not bony) with a visible neck, like a dog.
There is more information on the RSPCA website about what to do if you see a seal or pup on the beach alone.
If you have an animal welfare concern or find an animal in distress please call 0300 1234 999.
This winter, the RSPCA expects to rescue thousands of animals from neglect, cruelty and suffering. Already this Christmas we received more than 44,000 calls to our cruelty line but the calls to our rescue line are not stopping so neither will we. To help our rescue teams continue to reach the animals who desperately need us this winter, visit www.rspca.org.uk/xmas and Join the Winter Rescue #JoinTheRescue
Community Midwife home for Christmas after 85 day battle with COVID-19
SHARON GEGGUS, a community midwife from Llanelli is home for the holidays after a three month battle with coronavirus.
Sharon began to feel unwell in September, experiencing shortness of breath and a high temperature.
As these symptoms persisted and her condition began to worsen, she was admitted to Prince Philip Hospital in Llanelli on 16 September, with a temperature of 41°C.During her stay, she credits the support of her family and the staff at Prince Philip Hospital for helping her get through the ordeal. Speaking of her experience in hospital, Sharon says: “I was sedated for about five weeks, but I was told that the staff were playing music for me. They had contacted my family to find out what my favourite songs were, and they would play those.
“It was really hard but the hardest times I didn’t really know about – my family were the people going through it. I can’t stress how well the staff looked after me. I used the iPads provided through the hospital to keep in contact with my family and the staff would also help me phone and communicate with my family.
“The ITU staff and the staff on Ward 9 where I went for rehabilitation were amazing. I’m a community midwife myself and I would obviously treat someone how I wanted to be treated – but they really went above and beyond.
They would sit and chat with me when I was feeling down and they made sure I was in contact with my family all the time, even letting me hang up pictures of my family on my wall.”
Sharon was clapped out of the hospital on 10 December, 85 days after being admitted. Even though she is home, the road to recovery isn’t over.
She says: “There’s still a long way to go but I’m getting there. I can get around using a walking frame and only need oxygen when I’m really moving about. It’s so nice to be home, I think you just sort of relax a bit and move around more and just feel better for being back with your family.”
Reflecting on her experience, Sharon offered this advice to others with COVID-19: “Keep in touch with your family as much as you possibly can, it’s what got me through. I wouldn’t really know what else to say, just keep positive and keep in touch with your loved ones, that’s what really helps.”

Reports say Texas Roadhouse is coming to Spokane
Back in July we shared some information about the possibility of a Texas Roadhouse coming to Spokane. At that time they had appeared as a tenant name in the plans for the former N. Division Costco building. And, while some of those plans didn’t stay in the plan, we can happily report that our friends over at Spokane Journal of Business published that Texas Roadhouse is confirmed to be building at the site.
Here is their article ( be aware they have a paywall )-
https://www.spokanejournal.com/local-news/costco-completes-sale-of-north-side-property/
We’ll be running our own article about this in the coming days but the short story is that Texas Roadhouse will open in the parking lot area where the Costco fuel station had been. The main Costco building will primarily be a new At Home store which we touched on briefly back in the Fall-
http://www.inlandnwbusiness.com/2018/10/permits-indicate-at-home-is-coming-to.html?m=1
This will leave one section without a set tenant just yet. However it looks likely a storage facility will go into that space.
But, for now if you’re looking for more info on Texas Roadhouse check them out at-

Yaya Brewing opening soon in Spokane Valley
A new brewery is on it's way to Spokane Valley. In fact construction is already getting underway for the new Yaya Brewing Company, coming soon to 11712 E. Montgomery.
They will open later this year, with an opening date a bit more up in the air then usual with the recent government shut down. But, they will be opening and when they do they will have a production facility and tasting room, both at the same site. The production side will include a 10-barrel brewhouse with 60-barrel production capacity.
Beer lovers will be able to visit Yaya Brewing in a planned 900 square tasting room. That space will include plenty of seating, several TV's and 10-15 taps. Of that 9-13 will be reserved for beers brewed by Yaya Brewing and the rest will be other locally brewed beers and ciders. Their beers will be brewed with high quality ingredients that are locally sourced whenever possible. They plan to brew several types of beers, which we'll likely profile a bit more when they open.
This new brewery is being dedicated in memory of the owners sister, Lara. They say Lara was very community oriented and they intend to follow suit with the creation of their flagship beer, the Angel IPA. 1% of the tasting room sales of the Angel IPA will be donated back to local charites.
Yaya Brewing will be a quality beer driven brewery with no kitchen. However they do plan to have some pre-packaged snacks and will likely partner with many local food trucks to bring in something for guests to eat at times.
We'll check back in with Yaya Brewing as they get closer to opening, but they do have a website coming soon to http://yayabrewing.com
And, follow their progress on Facebook at- http://www.facebook.com/yayabrewco
High Tide Lobster Bar coming to Downtown Spokane
A small restaurant serving fresh lobster in Downtown Spokane ?!? Yes, really....
Watch for High Tide Lobster Bar coming soon to the space above Numerica Credit Union at 502 W. Riverside. High Tide will be the next venture of Chef Chad White, who's already known locally for his other Downtown restaurant, Zona Blanca, a delicious ceviche bar located inside the Steel Barrel Tap Room on Madison. Not so locally White was also a contestant on season 13 of Bravo TV's Top Chef.
High Tide Lobster Bar will be small with only some seating as the space was last used as Thomas Hammer Coffee kiosk location. But despite the size High Tide will still be very cool and very unique for Spokane. Watch for a quick service menu of lobster sandwiches, other sandwiches , chowder and salad.
Currently the plans call for High Tide Lobster Bar to open for business by the end of February. In addition to this project Chef Chad White is also collaborating with the local TT's Old Iron Brewery in opening a new brewery and Kansas City style BBQ restaurant coming later this year to 4110 S Bowdish ( at Dishman-Mica ) in Spokane Valley. But, more on that soon...
Renovations coming to abandoned Pacfic Fruit & Produce warehouse in Downtown Spokane
New life will soon be coming back to a presently abandoned warehouse on the east side of Downtown Spokane. Plans are in the works now to re-develop the former Pacific Fruit & Produce building at 102 E. Main into a small multi-use building.
Construction could start as early as the Spring and divide the building into 3 spaces for 3 separate tenants. About 3200 square feet for an office tenant, 3400 square feet for a yet to be named restaurant, and about 1100 square feet for a yet to be named coffee shop tenant. The office tenant space will be used by JMK & Associates , a financial advisory firm currently located at 421 W. Riverside, they will move to the new space once it is completed.
According to documents filed with the City of Spokane the re-development project will cost an estimated $500,000 with design work being done by HDG Architecture. No contractor name is mentioned as of yet.
Walk In Chiropractic to open a location in Spokane Valley
It's been a little more then a year since the first Spokane location on the Walk In Chiropractic chain opened. And, now we can report that the Montana based chain will be increasing their footprint here with a new location opening soon in Spokane Valley.
Walk In Chiropractic has leased a 1300 square foot space at 328 N. Sullivan Rd. Suite 6 in the Valley. This new clinic will be overseen by Dr. Brendan and his staff with an opening date planned sometime in February. The original Spokane location will also remain open for business at 915 E. Hawthorne Rd Suite D on the north side.
Walk In Chiropractic has earned a name for itself with a unique concept of adjustments and chiropractic care without an appointment, as the name implies one can just walk in. Introductory adjustments are just $29 with affordable pricing after that. Memberships and pre-paid packages are also available for future visits. And, their locations are open at more convenient times, most clinics are open Mon-Fri 10-7 and Sat. 10-4.

Roasters Coffee planning Spokane locations
If you've spent any time in the Tri-Cities in the last few years you've likely at least seen a location of the Roasters Coffee chain. The chain is a 10 year old brand of drive thru coffee stands with about 10 stores around the Tri-Cities and Walla Walla. And, now Roasters is planning to expand to the Inland Northwest with new stores coming soon to the Spokane area.
They are planning a location at 2505 W. Northwest Blvd. which they hope to have open by the end of 2019. Another location is planned in 2020 near Airway Heights along US 2 and others are in the works in Spokane Valley on Argonne Rd. and Evergreen. They say their goal stands at 5 stores in 5 years and then setting a long and committed goal towards reaching the entire population.
Roasters Coffee has been roasting their own coffee since 2011, they roast daily and have the same coffees from the same farms year after year. Wes Hayden, owner of Roasters tells me " we might be considered fast casual coffee but the guarantee is the coffee your getting is high specialty grade coffee roasted extremely well. Which isn't true for many drive thru chains ".
He goes on to say " one of the things we focus on is the coffee, that will always be our first goal ". Also Roasters Coffee brings more value to the people and communities they serve, last year they offered a day a month in revenue to local charities. Roasters Coffee is truly a community driven coffee company.
For more info on Roasters Coffee, check out their website at - http://roasterscoffee.net
And, for a better idea of the company I recommend reading an interview with the owner Wes Hayden from 2016 at - http://tri-cityherald.com/news/local/article95437422.html
103.5 The Game launches as Spokane's newest radio station
Radio Spokane has launched a new radio station that's sort of a re-branding from a previous station. Mapleton Communications, which does business as Radio Spokane, has switched the format of KGA 1510 AM and brought on a translator station at 103.5 to re-broadcast the channel to the more common FM radio.
The station switched just this week and now plays a mix of sports and hip hop, geared to take on Hot 96.9 Spokane's other hip hop geared top 40 station. The station will primarily be a music station but will continue on with games from Gonzaga, Spokane Chiefs and the Spokane Indians, which is a holdover from KGA's previous sports format.
This is the first radio station launch in Spokane market since Alt 96.1 took the place of a country station back in March.
For more info on 103.5 The Game, visit their new website at http://1035thegame.com where you can also stream the new station.
Region's only completely gluten-free restaurant completes big expansion
With more then 4 years in business, Cole's Bakery & Café the region's only completely gluten-free bakery and restaurant has recently completed a large expansion of their facility. The expansion will allows Cole's to provide more products and allow them to enter the wholesale market.
Cole's is located in North Spokane at 521 E. Holland , they opened there in August 2014 as a gluten free bakery with 1484 square feet of space. Now, with the most recent expansion Cole's boasts a significantly larger 4084 square feet. The expansion allows for increased workspace for food preparation, additional seating for restaurant customers and even a drive-thru window. This is huge as 1% of the US population has celiac disease and up to 5% of the population suffer from some level of gluten intolerance.
Eric & Jeanie Smith, owners of Cole's say they have seen steady growth since they opened their doors. " We have many local families that love our food and have supported us from the beginning " Jeanie said. The restaurant has also attracted customers from around the region including Pullman, Moses Lake and Coeur d' Alene.
With the new larger space Cole's will be expanding into the wholesale baking market. " We hope to help restaurants and stores around the region meet their customers demands for more and better gluten-free options on their menus " Eric said. In addition to providing wholesale services Cole's will seek to expand their own bakery and restaurants offerings for individuals following the Keto diet.
The Cole's menu has also been expanded with new offerings such as curry ravioli and chicken parmesan. Ice cream in gluten-free cones and shaved ice will also be available for customers eating in or at the drive-thru window. Cole's is even open seven days a week with breakfast, lunch and dinner offered.
For those not able to travel to their location in North Spokane, delivery is also now available via Treehouse Deliveries and Cole's can be found regularly at the Kendall Yards farmers market during the spring and summer months.

Saul Bass: A Life in Film & Design
Ball Camera
Lucha Future
October 24, 2011 - No Comments!
It's hard to believe that a monograph dedicated to the work of Saul Bass hasn't existed until now, so I'm very excited about the forthcoming release Saul Bass: A Life in Film & Design. Laurence King know how to produce a quality tome and this should exceed expectations with 1400 examples of his work (much previously unseen) showcasing his output during a 40 year career: from the iconic posters and title sequences for the films of Alfred Hitchcock and Otto Preminger, to the visual identity of corporate America.
I love the hand-cut feel to his movie posters - bold colours, rough type and symbolic shapes - a style much copied but never surpassed (see Burn After Reading and Precious for homages). His titles for film were no less innovative, capable of summarising the story and underlying themes graphically, and employing kinetic typography to stunning effect. Above all what comes across with his work is how much he enjoyed creating it: sophisticated yet somehow naive, there is a playful and beautiful element at the heart of his visual language.
[pullquote author="Saul Bass"]"I want everything we do to be beautiful. I don’t give a damn whether the client understands that that’s worth anything, or that the client thinks it’s worth anything, or whether it is worth anything. It’s worth it to me. It’s the way I want to live my life. I want to make beautiful things, even if nobody cares."[/pullquote]

Film Review: Batman V Superman [SPOILERS!]
On 13.4.16 by KieronMoore in Batman v Superman, Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill, Zack Snyder No comments
[Some big spoilers further down this review. But they're all in the trailer anyway.]
Faced with some free time, I ran a Twitter poll this week asking followers what films I should catch up with, and Batman V Superman came last. Plus, I’d already heard a number of bad things about it, and I’ve not enjoyed any of Zack Snyder’s previous films. And yet some masochistic instinct within me brought me into a screening.
It’s abysmal. Every bad thing I’d heard about it was true.
Many of the problems stem from the fact that it’s trying to be several films at once. Snyder wants to make a film about Superman as modern-day god, in the dark, political style of Christopher Nolan’s Batman movies. DC want to make a film which sets up the Justice League series, in the lighter style of the Marvel films. And, somewhere along the way, someone decided that this should also be a film about Batman taking on Superman, in the brutal style of Frank Miller’s Dark Knight Returns.
And, of course, these three films intersect awfully. Now, I do sympathise with the criticisms that superheroes should be heroic, hence the popularity of the Marvel series, but I'm also a fan of letting talented filmmakers do their personal takes on well-known characters (The Dark Knight was 100% Christopher Nolan's take on Batman, and all the better for it), and that first 'superheroes as gods' film does sound interesting to me. Unfortunately, Zack Snyder is not a talented filmmaker. He does indeed come up with some impressive visual ideas exploring this theme – the montage of Superman saving people, Lex Luthor’s Heaven and Hell painting which “should be upside down” – but ultimately, visuals is all it is. He’s not an astute enough storyteller, and is hampered by all the other things the film is trying to be, leaving this theme concluded in only a heavy-handed, unsatisfying fashion.
He's also hampered by his fascistic admiration for that which he sets out to criticise; Snyder’s treatment of these modern gods, and of the Miller-esque angle too, ends up revelling in the violence way too readily, seemingly unaware of the satirical intent of The Dark Knight Returns. Snyder’s camera revels in billionaire Batman torturing and casually killing, his victims being small-time criminals and even security guards just doing their jobs. There’s a training montage, played entirely seriously, in which Bruce Wayne pulls a tractor tyre around. “Phwaor, look at his muscles”, the film says. I think Snyder reckons he’s getting deep into Batman’s psyche with that scene. I think he reckons the muscles are his psyche. The desire to criticise the actions of superheroes is countermanded by the desire to fetishise them (compare this to the recent second season of Daredevil, which manages to get deep into serious issues of vigilante justice and violence, while having interesting characters and retaining a sense of fun, deftly keeping the action entertaining while condemning the Punisher's merciless killing).
Character motivations are nonexistent. Batman fights Superman because he sees him as causing too much collateral damage – OK, not too bad. Superman fights Batman because Luthor, holding Martha Kent captive, tells him to. Despite Superman having previously been exceptionally good at finding and saving people held captive. And why does Luthor want Superman dead? I’m honestly not sure. Jesse Eisenberg’s Luthor is a caricature, his Zuckerberg ramped up to eleven, with shockingly little actual character, and is annoying rather than sinister. Again, why does he create Doomsday other than for one task he already had a different plan in place for? If Doomsday had survived, what would Lex have done with him?
So this conflict between Batman and Superman - the one in the title - lasts for one fight scene of about five minutes. Now, I’d been spoiled about what it is that makes them stop fighting, but I hadn’t quite believed it. But fuck me. It’s worse than it sounded. They genuinely do stop because Batman realises their mums had the same name. It’s the most idiotically scripted scene I’ve ever seen in a cinema. How did anyone involved let that get shot?
Then there’s the problem of the film’s use of its female characters. Just how many times does Lois Lane get kidnapped? At least it varies it a bit towards the end by having Martha Kent be the kidnappee. And then Lois somehow gets herself trapped underwater.
And all these character and thematic issues are compounded by just how incompetently the film is structured… About half the scenes have no bearing on the story at all. Scenes sometimes forget what they’re doing half way through. Batman fails to steal Kryptonite and then, a few scenes later, has it anyway. Clark Kent and Bruce Wayne learn each other’s secret identities between scenes. There really is a bit where it cuts away from the tense action to Wonder Woman at a computer basically looking at trailers for the next DC films. And the dream sequences – what?
Batman V Superman is the Donald Trump of superhero movies – right in the centre of the ‘nasty’ and ‘incompetent’ Venn diagram.

Farrah Abraham hasn’t been about Teen Mom (the display the fact that made her a household name) in many years. However that hasn’t halted your ex from staying at headlines. Considering being fired from the well-liked MTV show, she’s started out organizations, traveled, and been recently a new part of quite a few scandals. Another means how the 29-year-old has remained within the public eye even though as well getting ab income will be by way of serving while an changer on Instagram.Influencer advertising and marketing has skyrocketed in the past few years. Thousands of people have tried to make a profession out of blogging and joining up with brands. Intended for people just like Abraham, being an Instagram changer will be very lucrative for the reason that this lady has a large adhering to. Typically, influencers with often the biggest follower offers and even highest levels of engagement (likes, comments, saves, ideas, etc. ) are capable to exploit money via sponsored content material.Farrah Abraham increases the girl net worthy of with sponsored articlesThe majority of just lately, the Teen Mum alum partnered with Lelo, a new company that produces sex health and delight. A great Instagram influencer with Abraham’s follower count need to have no issue racking up a few 1000 us dollars for a video clip like the one your woman have for Lelo. However Abraham’s consistently low proposal may stop her via obtaining a higher requesting price to be with her sponsored subject material.Though Abraham has a lot of people viewing her content, the woman doesn’t earn a lot regarding loves. For example, the video posting for Tonto has over 230, 000 views. Nonetheless it simply has just over four, 000 likes. Furthermore, whilst the post has above 600 comments, the audio is mostly negative and has very little to nothing at all to do with the subject material that she is marketing. This is common involving Abraham’s Instagram posts. Your woman specifically posts videos, very likely to produce her wedding seem more than it is usually, and her responses are usually usually full of critique.This ‘Teen Mom’ alum is swiftly losing enthusiasts on InstagramAnother factor that is destroying to help Abraham’s career as an Instagram influencer is just how speedily she’s been getting rid of followers over the past season. Around October of 2019, we all reported that the girl got a follower count number of 2. 17 million. Although, simply by January of 2020, the number of had plummeted to help installment payments on your 09 million supporters. 인스타고수 , in July of 2020, Abraham’s follower rely is usually down to a couple of. 01 million enthusiasts, which usually means the 29-year-old, has lost a whopping 80, 000 followers since typically the beginning of the year.RELATED: Farrah Abraham Critics Recall Many of Her Worst Times on ‘Teen Mom’2. 01 fans is a new far cry from 3. 2 million Instagram enthusiasts that Abraham boasted all-around this time last year. But what accounts with regard to this radical dip, together with can the former reality TV star stop himself from hemorrhaging followers? Several of the follower loss may possibly be related to the routine wipes that Instagram conducts. Each so often, Instagram removes non-active accounts and company accounts that are spam or jog by bots. Mainly because of this, most people who also are popular for the platform (especially celebrities) may possibly reduce a few thousand followers every now and in that case.What’s caused Abraham’s Instagram following to drop about 80, 000 in 2020?But, while routine cleans may account for many damage in enthusiasts, 50, 1000 seems fancy. Evidently, many individuals have also chosen to unfollow Abraham intended for personal reasons. Those motives could likely be credited to most of her a lot more polarizing behaviours. People experience long-since taken problem with the way Abraham behaves plus the way she raises her 11-year-old daughter, Sophia Abraham. For example, she recently received fire for just about hitting Sophia in the particular face with a sex toy and even making light connected with the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak.While it is hard in order to determine exactly so why Abraham may be consistently shedding so numerous followers, something is crystal clear. In the event Abraham wants to keep on to gain salary by Instagram, she may have to look at changing the way your woman behaves on the software. Otherwise, she’ll have to look into alternate sorts of earnings.

Preparations underway to give final shape to Pancheshwar DPR by October
Preparations have been made to give final shape to the Detailed Project Report (DPR) of the Pancheshwar Multipurpose Project until October.
It has been agreed in the fourth joint meeting of the Energy Secretaries of Nepal and India that concluded on Wednesday to give final shape to the DPR and finalise all issues, Chief Executive Officer of the Pancheshwar Development Authority Mahendra Bahadur Gurung said.
According to him, agreement has also been reached to hold the secretary-level meeting every three months and resolving the issues by synthesizing the problems.
Gurung stated that the joint meeting prepared the basis also for the benefits and the loss that Nepal and India would get from the project, the use of technology, inundation, rehabilitation and the additional topics that have to be incorporated. He said the DPR was not immediately given the final shape so as to make it more enriched by the coming October.
The Pancheshwar project which had been stalled since the last 23 years was moved forward after the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Nepal. Four joint meetings on the project DPR have been held so far.
“The decision of the fourth meeting will be formalised within two weeks,” Gurung said. The Authority has projected to generate a total of 5,040 megawatts electricity from the project. Of this projected power to be generated, 4,800 megawatts would be generated from the Pancheshwar project while 240 megawatt from the Rupaligad project. The project will produce11,885 gigawatts/hour annually.
As has been proposed in the DPR, the proposed cost of the project is Rs 500 billion. Nepal and India will have to make equal investment in the project.
Similarly, the two countries have also come to a common view regarding the sharing of the water of the Mahakali River.
A total of 18 thousand million cubic metres of water is stored in the Mahakali Pancheshwar dam annually. Of this 12 million cubic metres water is being used in various ways and of the remaining 6000 million cubic metres water, Nepal will use 3073 million cubic metres water while India will use 1924 million cubic metres water. One thousand one hundred seventy six million cubic metres water has to be released in the river.
Nepal will get Rs 34.50 billion annually from the project. Similarly, the country can make a significant income by way of fishery, carbon trade, irrigation, tourism, herbs and fruit farming based on the project.

Corbyn is overwhelmingly backed by Labour members – so can only be removed by a coup
Recent polling confirms that Jeremy Corbyn would be the choice of Labour Party members, by a large margin, if the Labour right challenged him in another contest. A decisive majority of members approve of his leadership and would vote to re-elect him, possibly with an even larger landslide than last year.
The ElectionData/YouGov poll of Labour Party members (published in three parts: here, here and here ) recorded Corbyn as having a net approval rating of 55 per cent (72 per cent approve – 17 per cent disapprove). His leadership is also approved of by Labour voters, with a net rating of 17 per cent (43 per cent approve – 26 per cent disapprove).
63 per cent of Labour members said Corbyn should lead Labour into the next general election. If the party performs badly in this May’s elections still a majority (53 per cent) want him to lead Labour’s fight to form the next government.
The poll found that Corbyn would decisively again win another leadership election. His support is far ahead of any potential rivals. The poll found that, if the other candidates were Hillary Benn, Dan Jarvis, Lisa Nandy, Angela Eagle and Tom Watson, Corbyn would win with 62 per cent of first preference votes, greater than the 59.5 per cent he achieved last September. The others only would secure respectively 15 per cent, 12 per cent, 3 per cent, 6 per cent and 3 per cent.
Labour members told the poll that Labour MPs should not publicly attack Corbyn. Asked if MPs should speak out where they disagree with the Labour Leader 63 per cent disagreed with only 30 per cent agreeing.
If Corbyn was removed from office before the next general election 23 per cent of members indicated they would leave the party.
John McDonnell also has strong support amongst the membership, with a net approval of 38 per cent (approve 57 per cent – disapprove 19 per cent). The poll also found that if there was a leadership election without Corbyn being a candidate McDonnell would lead on first preference votes with 29 per cent. The other candidates asked about, Hillary Benn, Dan Jarvis, Lisa Nandy, Angela Eagle and Tom Watson, secured respectively 20 per cent, 15 per cent, 6 per cent, 13 per cent and 17 per cent.
Labour’s membership will not elect a right-wing Leader if it has a democratic choice. So it remains urgent that Labour’s rules for electing its Leader are clarified to explicitly guarantee a democratic contest.
The priority is to remove the possibility of a coup against Corbyn, where he is blocked from running again for Leader. He should automatically be able to re-stand if there is a challenge, but the current rules lack specific clarity. It is widely believed the rules mean a sitting Leader can re-stand without having to reach any threshold of nominations. So this interpretation needs to be clearly stated in the rule book – an important tidying up exercise that can prevent there being a coup.
Also when there is next a vacancy for Leader the Labour right and centre will not make the mistake again of nominating a left winger. The current requirement, that a candidate be nominated by 15 per cent of Labour MPs and MEPs, allows a field of candidates that excludes the left. This undemocratic veto over the choice on the ballot paper needs to be changed. It is not unreasonable to have a higher threshold to challenge a sitting Leader, to prevent frivolous and destabilising challenges, but when there is a vacancy the contest should be open so that Labour’s membership can express its democratic views.
Addressing these weaknesses in the rules will help stabilise the Labour Party, as the right and centre will know they cannot stage a coup but can only win by convincing the party membership.
Refugees under assault in Calais – Support 19 March demo against racism
Since 29 February French authorities have been forcefully evicting refugees from the homes they have built in the migrant camp at Calais. They are moving some of the people on to a prison-like site of converted shipping containers in Calais and transporting others to centres elsewhere in France.
A French court has given the green light to evict the people and demolish all their homes. Clearing the entire camp may take several weeks.
Camp residents who have refused to move have been attacked with tear gas and their shelters set on fire.
There are over 9,000 people camped out in camps in northern France, seeking to travel on to Britain.
This is a very small number of people, relative to all those seeking refuge in Europe from the conflicts in Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan. But the Tory government is refusing to allow any people from these camps to come to Britain.
Jeremy Corbyn visited the camps in Calais and Dunkirk in January as did Diane Abbott, and attacked the government’s policy and urged it to let people in with a connection to Britain and join with other European countries in taking a share of refugees.
The Tories tough rhetoric on immigration is whipping up racism as a means to divert attention from the continuing deterioration of people’s living standards.
The 19 March Stand Up To Racism demonstration is an important part of the fight back against this offensive.

No surprise! Britain’s intervention in Syrian war involves few attacks on ISIS
Ministry of Defence reports have revealed that in the three months up to 18 February, after the Parliamentary vote, the RAF made 33 sorties in its Syrian war. Far from making the difference that Cameron suggested, the actual operation has been averaging less than one raid every two days. Equally, Brimstone missiles which he said would make ‘a meaningful difference’, are being used he admits ‘sparingly’.
The contrast was made very clear in the evidence presented by Sir Simon Mayall, until recently the Government’s Defence Senior Advisor for the Middle East, in his evidence to the House of Commons Defence Committee. On 9 February he stated ‘… we are now doing fewer air strikes or even sorties in a month than the Russians do in a day and that 75 per cent of our sorties are not dropping ordnance …’
He also clarified the real position with regards to Cameron’s suggestion of 75,000 ‘moderate’ ground forces in Syria. He told the committee ‘ … I find it difficult to see any really significant, joined up numbers of people we could put in the ‘moderate opposition’ category in the area where, largely, the major fighting is going on …’ The credibility of Cameron’s ‘strategy’ for UK intervention in Syria, and of the minority of Labour MPs who voted for it, is clearly shown to be non-existent.

"Empty Space" Goes Dark
Seattle's Empty Space theatre company, founded out of the 60s/Peter Brook idealism its name recalls, is shutting down.
This, after just moving to a new space and forging a new partnership with a university, a model that many have hoped would save small theate companies.
There are no cure-alls.

Fungi are known to produce a vast array of secondary metabolites that are gaining importance for their biotechnological applications. Early reports suggest that G. cingulata has the capability to transform many compounds by various enzymatic actions. Therefore, the focus of this study was to determine the antibacterial and antifungal activity of crude ethyl acetate extract of G. cingulata using agar cup bioassay method. Crude extract of G. cingulata exhibited remarkable antifungal activity against Rhizopus oryzae, Chrysoporium tropicum and Beauveria bassiana but no antifungal activity was found against Alternaria tenuissima and Aspergillus niger at any concentrations. The crude extract presented no antibacterial activity against Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria at any concentration.
Key words: Antimicrobial activity, Glomerella cingulata, Agar cup bioassay
Fungos são conhecidos produtores de uma vasta coleção de metabólitos secundários que vem mostrando importância crescente na sua aplicação biotecnológica. Publicações anteriores sugerem que G. cingulata tem a capacidade de transformar vários componentes por diferentes ações enzimáticas. Logo, o foco deste estudo foi determinar a atividade antibacteriana e antifúngica do extrato bruto de G. cingulata obtido por acetato de etila utilizando-se um método envolvendo bloco de agar. O extrato bruto de G. cingulata demonstrou marcante atividade antifungica contra Rhizopus oryzae, Chrysoporium tropicum e Beauveria bassiana entretanto, não foi possível detectar, em nenhuma concentração, atividade antifungica contra Alternaria tenuissima e Aspergillus niger. O mesmo extrato não apresentou atividade antibacteriana, em nenhuma concentração, contra bactérias Gram negativa e positiva.

Identification of microorganisms that produce bioactive compounds is of great interest in the development of new molecules to fight against many pathogens (2). Fungi produce a wide range of secondary metabolites with high therapeutic value as antibiotics, cytotoxic substances, insecticides, compounds that promote or inhibit growth, attractor, repellent etc., (1). Secondary metabolites produced from fungi vary in production, function and specifity to a particular fungus (4). These metabolites are being exploited in different fields of medicine and industries (3,10). Among fungi classes, ascomycetes are reported to be active producers of antimicrobial compounds, which have high therapeutic values (9). Among the ascomycetes, Glomerella cingulata has been reported for the potential of biotransformation and production of many bioactive molecules (6-8). Hence, in the present study we have tested the antibacterial and antifungal properties of G. cingulata crude extract against some selected bacterial and fungal strains.
Six fungal organisms Glomerella cingulata (MTCC No. 2033), Rhizopus oryzae (MTCC No. 262), Chrysoporium tropicum (MTCC No. 2821), Beauveria bassiana (MTCC No. 984) Alternaria tenuissima (MTCC No. 2802) and Aspergillus niger (MTCC No. 281) were obtained from the Institute of Microbial Technology, Chandigarh, India. Cultures were maintained on potato dextrose agar slants and were sub-cultured in Petri dishes prior to testing. The nutrient agar and the potato dextrose agar media were provided by M/S Himedia, Mumbai, India.
Six test organisms, Staphylococcus aureus (MTCC No. 96), Bacillus subtilis (MTCC No. 441), Bacillus sphaericus (MTCC No. 511), Klebsiella aerogenes (MTCC No. 39), Psuedomonas aeruginosa (MTCC No. 741) and Chromobacterium violaceum (MTCC No. 2656) were obtained from the Institute of Microbial Technology, Chandigarh, India. Cultures were maintained on nutrient agar slants and were sub-cultured in Petri dishes prior to testing.
Fungal growth and extraction of crude extract
A portion of mature agar slant was inoculated in 100ml potato dextrose broth in a 500 ml Erlenmeyer flask and incubated at 30ºC on a rotary shaker at 250 rpm for 8 days. The fermented broth (3 liters) was treated with ethyl acetate (2 liters) for 2 hours followed by cheesecloth filtration to remove the biomass. The organic extract was separated and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo to yield a crude yellow solid (0.3g).
Antibacterial and antifungal studies
Penicillin G (100 µg/ml) and streptomycin (100 µg/ml) were used for Gram negative and for Gram positive bacteria respectively as controls. For fungi, clotrimazole (100 µg/ml) was used as control. The crude extract of G. cingulata was made to different concentrations (100 - 1500 µg/ml) and tested against the bacterial and fungal strains, following the procedure of Linday, 1962 (5). The diameter of the minimum zone of inhibition was measured in mm. For each test, three replicates were performed.
Fungi are well known to show antibacterial, antifungal, larvicidal, molluscicidal, antioxidant and free-radical scavenging activities (4). A vast number of fungi have been utilized for biotransformation process and many more to be explored for isolation of some potential compounds. In the present study, different concentrations of crude ethyl acetate extract of G. cingulata were tested against 6 bacterial strains and 6 fungal strains. It is found that there was no antibacterial activity exhibited by any concentrations of G. cingulata crude extract (Table 1) whereas, there were some good antifungal activities found from 1300 to 1500 µg/ml against Rhizopus oryzae; 1100 to 1500 µg/ml against Chrysosporium tropicum and from 1200 to 1500 µg /ml against Beauveria bassiana (Table 2). However, these antifungal activities against these fungi were shown to be equal or less activity when compared to the control clotrimazole (100 µg/ml). This differential action of antifungal property of crude extract of G. cingulata may be depending upon the active compounds on the specific fungus. Hence, the present study gives an idea to test against more number of organisms and to find out the actual antifungal compound from the G. cingulata.
Authors are thankful to the Director, Indian Institute of Chemical Technology, Hyderabad for providing necessary facilities and encouragement for carrying out of this work.

Even though teething is a normal part of infant development, surprisingly, little is known about the causes and management of its signs and symptoms. Due to the paucity of knowledge in this area, the purpose of this review was to provide clarity on teething symptoms and management options.
A PRISMA flow chart revealed 13 studies that were reviewed which reported on teething symptoms and signs as well as treatment and management options. The databases searched were EMBASE, Medline, PubMed, Google Scholar and the Cochrane Library.
The review showed that although conventional and generic treatment options are constantly in use, there remains no concrete evidence to prove signs and symptoms of teething nor evidence to disprove it. However, in this review, symptoms such as irritability, increased salivation, runny nose, loss of appetite, diarrhoea, rash, sleep disturbance and gum rubbing were most apparent.
Further studies are needed to ascertain these findings objectively and conclusively. Future research is also required to understand and investigate the efficacy of treatment methods and approaches among children with teething symptoms.
Keywords: Teething, infancy, symptoms, treatment, review.
The effect of teething on infant health has been debated for at least 5000 years, and traditional beliefs on the issue have still not been entirely supported by scientific literature.1
It is widely believed that pain and other discomfort associated with tooth eruption among infants should and can be managed by pharmacological and non-pharmacological means, but this has yet to be proven.2 The eruption of primary teeth usually begins around 4-8 months of age with the eruption of the lower incisors, and is complete at around 30-36 months of age when second primary molars erupt. However, the timing of tooth eruption varies by as much as six months.3,4
Teething disturbances are transient but may recur repeatedly during 4 to 36 months of age. Evidence regarding teething signs and symptoms are mostly subjective comments from parents, childcare workers and/or health professionals.2,5-12
Generally, studies on teething have been small, retrospective, descriptive and cross-sectional in nature. Studies of larger cohorts13 show no causal association between teething and infection, fever, or diarrhoea.2 In some children, teething may be associated with increased drooling, sucking of digits and rubbing of gingivae. Nevertheless, more recent prospective studies reveal that most systemic teething signs and symptoms (fever, vomiting, facial rashes, sleep disturbances, stool looseness, decreased appetite for liquids, and cough) are due to other causes.14-18
Examples of these alternate causes are well documented in the literature,19-24 and include meningitis, bacterial infections, and herpes simplex virus infections. The latter are painful in their own right.20-23
Teething disturbances may also be caused by development changes, including the decline of maternal antibodies,25-27 while wakefulness and night crying may be due to separation anxiety from a parent or attention seeking.
A systematic review was conducted according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines.28
Data Sources and searches
While this was not intended to be a formal systematic review, a search strategy was used to identify the relevant literature. The databases searched were EMBASE, Medline, PubMed, Google Scholar and the Cochrane Library with the keyword search of "teething", "teething symptoms", "teething signs", "teething management", "teething treatment", and "teething children".
A preliminary scoping exercise was undertaken. It indicated that the studies available were too heterogeneous to permit a systematic review or meta-analysis of the interventions developed to tackle the number of children who presented with teething symptoms, eruptions or extractions. Therefore, a narrative review of the literature over a 20-year period (1999-2019) was conducted.
Studies were selected that considered child patients only (as teething symptoms mainly occur between six months and three years of age), had a defined intervention and methodology of patients who presented with varied teething symptoms, a treatment measure, management option or a measured outcome.
The titles and/or abstracts were reviewed to exclude any clearly irrelevant studies. The full texts of the remaining studies were then retrieved and read in full independently to determine whether the studies met the inclusion criteria or not.
In the search, both primary sources and systematic reviews were prioritised as these synthesise the evidence and are at the top of the evidence-based literature as well as studies from the local context. As a second strategy, key scholars from the literature review and institutions were identified, and searched for their recent critical publications, as well as new authors citing them, and which references they had used.
Data extraction and synthesis
Using a standardised data extraction sheet, the following information (if available) was extracted and recorded from studies: authors and year of publication; sample size of participants; age or age range; location; symptoms and management or treatment options.
The PRISMA guidelines were used to examine the quality of the studies. These include adequacy of study design; recruitment of sample; and findings. The quality of the studies was not summarised with a score, as this approach has been criticized for allocating equal weight to different aspects of metho-dology,29 but a formal assessment of the risk of bias and strength of evidence according to the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) guidelines was conducted.30 A study was considered to be of high quality if the study design was prospective in nature, consecutive or a random sampling method was used.
Study selection
The flowchart is shown in Figure 1 for the study selection of which the literature search resulted in 9418 studies. After a review of their titles and abstracts, 764 studies met the inclusion criteria and were retrieved for full text reading.
Of these, 751 studies were excluded from the narrative review as they no longer met the inclusion criteria. A total of 13 studies were included in the review, and the extracted data are summarized in Table 1.
This narrative review investigated the available evidence about primary tooth eruption and local and systemic signs and symptoms, along with treatment and management options.
It is now generally accepted that the eruption of the deciduous teeth is accompanied by a number of relatively minor symptoms (Table 1).27 General irritability, disturbed sleep, gum inflammation, drooling, loss of appetite, diarrhoea, circumoral rash, intra-oral ulcers, and increase in body temperature, increased biting, gum-rubbing, sucking, wakefulness and ear-rubbing, have all been identified as being temporally related to teething (Table 1).27
McDonald et al.,14 described tooth eruption as a physiological process, which does not justify its association with fever and systemic disorders. Fever and respiratory tract infections in this period of life may happen at the same time as eruption but are not associated with it. In the submucosal phase, the number of mast cells is significantly higher than in the intraosseous phase of tooth eruption, and in the submucosa of the normal oral mucosa not associated with teeth. The consequent degranulation and the local release of mediators, such as histamine, leukotrienes, prostaglandins, proteases, cytokines and growth factors, contribute to the understanding of signs and symptoms assigned to tooth eruption, such as itching, inflammation, local redness and sialorrhoea.14
Macknin et al.,1 conducted a prospective study that investigated the symptoms associated with infant teething. It was revealed that tooth eruption is associated with a slight temperature elevation, facial rash, sleep disturbance, and ear rubbing. In their study, symptoms of decreased appetite for solid foods, biting, drooling, ear-rubbing, gum rubbing, irritability, rash on face, sucking, abnormal temperature and wakefulness were found to have some association with the teething process.1
In 2009, Oziegbe et al.,9 conducted a cross-sectional study consisting of 1,013 mothers of children between the ages four to 36 months who visited the immunization clinics at the Community Health Centres in Ife Central and Ife East Local Government areas in Nigeria.
A total of 765 mothers (75.5%) reported systemic signs and symptoms in their children. Fever (51.8%), diarrhoea (12.5%), and vomiting (2.9%) were the most prevalent symptoms and signs reported after eruption. However, there was no association between teething and symptoms such as fever or diarrhoea.9
In another study, most of the children had one or more signs and symptoms during tooth eruption.34 The most frequent teething symptoms were drooling (92%), sleep disturbances (82.3%) and irritability (75.6%).
These symptoms were more pronounced in low birth weight children.34 Low grade increases in body temperature were observed only on the day of eruption (36.70 ±0.39 °C), when body temperature was significantly different compared to the day before and on the day.34
Interestingly, in Singapore, significant early-life factors affecting the child's susceptibility to teething-related pain and fever were commonly reported among infants.36 These factors included infants of Chinese ethnicity, who were exposed to tobacco smoke during pregnancy, had childbirth via Caesarean section and infants that had elevated levels of prenatal plasma vitamin D.36
Much of the information gathered about teething is based on subjective parental information. According to Shapira et al.,31 during the teething period, behavioural problems were observed in 50% of the infants, compared to 16% in the control period p<0.01); fever was observed in 24% of the infants during tooth eruption and in 8% of the infants during the control period (p =.04); and coughing was observed in 12% during tooth eruption compared to 2% (p=0.06) of the infants during the control period. Correlations were also found between high levels of IL-1ß and fever, gastrointestinal disturbances, sleep disturbances, and appetite disturbances.31
During the same period, a correlation was observed between high levels of IL-8 and gastrointestinal disturbances. High levels of Tumour Necrosis Factor (TNF) were also correlated with fever and sleep disturbances. The Gingival Crevicular Fluid (GCF) cytokines were correlated to some of the clinical symptoms of teething. IL-1ß and TNF are correlated with fever and sleep disturbances, IL-1ß and IL-8 with gastrointestinal disturbances, and IL-1ß with appetite disturbances.31
Owais et al.,10 stated that there are side effects from teething, but any real cause-and-effect relationship is doubtful. In addition, it was also postulated that high body temperature (higher than 39°C) should not be attributed to teething and should be further investigated. Plutzer40 conducted a randomized controlled trial on how first-time mothers perceive and deal with teething symptoms. It was revealed that teething symptoms, which are at the very root of the problem, are still poorly understood, despite many commendable efforts over the last 10 years to address them.
Their physiological or pathophysiological basis is not in doubt, butwhat they lead to in terms of discomfort is poorly understood. Partially, this is due to the confusion between the signs and symptoms. Symptoms are what a patient experience, but children getting their first few teeth can only communicate these through signs and signals that their caregivers can interpret.
Memarpour et al.,34 conducted a clinical trial of non-pharmacological remedies with regards to the signs and symptoms associated with primary tooth eruption. It was found that most of the children in the study had one or more signs and symptoms during tooth eruption. The study found that tooth eruption was accompanied by local disturbances such as drooling and the urge to chew on objects.34
An association has also been shown between general objective signs (drooling, fever, and diarrhoea) and the eruption of primary teeth with fever being the most prevalent sign followed by drooling and a fever-drooling combination.33 It was further stated that most signs appeared during the eruption of the primary incisors.33 Furthermore, when an infant at teething age has some symptoms, they may be attributed to teething, but other possible causes must be ruled out first.33
Another study had results that demonstrated associations between teething and sleep disturbance, increased salivation, rash, runny nose, diarrhoea, loss of appetite, irritability, and a slight rise in temperature.32 These associations were significant on the day of eruption and one day after eruption. Therefore, it is not possible to predict eruption through the observation of signs and symptoms because there were no associations on the day before eruption.
The findings of this study contribute towards supporting the concept that teething is not associated with severe signs and symptoms. Therefore, health professionals involved in the care of infants should seek other causes before attributing severe signs and symptoms to teething.32
Based on the current limited evidence by Massignan et al.,37, there are signs and symptoms during primary tooth eruption. Gingival irritation, irritability, and drooling were the most common.
For body temperature analyses, it was possible to evaluate that eruption of primary teeth is associated with a rise in temperature, but it was not characterized as fever. There are also results which showed a wide gap in knowledge and misconceptions with regards to the ascribed signs and symptoms and practices used to manage infant teething problems.35
Treatment and management options
Aside from teething signs and symptoms, there has been a number of recommended options suggested for management and treatment.
El-Gilany et al.,38 studied mothers' teething beliefs and treatment practices in Egypt. Their study showed that 13.6% of mothers did not give any treatment for teething problems. Analgesics/antipyretics, pacifiers and antibiotics were the most frequently given treatments (71.3%, 31.3% and 24.3%; respectively).
Relatives, friends and health care workers were the most frequent source of mothers' information about teething problems and their treatments. Deciduous tooth eruption has already been inaccurately associated with several health disorders, such as sleep disruption, ear and cheek itching, primary herpetic gingivostoma-titis, cough, croup, bronchitis, diarrhoea, fever, convulsions and (in severe cases) even death.
Objectively, Memarpour et al.,34 presented two main methods - pharmacological and nonpharmacological -which have been recommended as treatments during tooth eruption. Non-pharmacological remedies were used because of the parents' attitudes towards using remedies which do not threaten their child's health. According to their results, some methods such as teething rings, cuddle therapy and rubbing the gums were more effective than others. However, none of the methods was completely effective in dealing with all the teething problems that was reviewed.
Teething rings and rubbing the gums reduced gingival irritation and finger sucking. in the present study.3 The pressure caused by biting teething rings or pacifiers and gingival massage may decrease pain by overwhelming the sensory receptors. Biting or sucking cold or frozen objects including fruits, vegetables or other foods causes localised vasoconstriction and decreases inflammation; in addition, the pressure on the gums reduces pain. However, it is suggested that these remedies should be used only for children who are able to eat solid foods. Also, foods that are very hard should not be used, to avoid pain caused by bruising the gum.4 Moreover, parental supervision is needed to prevent choking on small pieces of food.34
In 2018, Ip et al.,39 mentioned that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a warning to avoid the use of any benzocaine-containing products for infant teething treatment owing to a risk of methaemoglobi-nemia. Despite the release of this drug safety warning regarding the use of benzocaine-containing products in infant teething treatment, the majority of pharmacists in their study indicated that they would still incorrectly recommend a benzocaine containing product. Further education is warranted to ensure that all pharmacists, health care providers, and consumers are aware to avoid benzocaine, viscous lidocaine, and homeopathic products for infant teething treatment.
This study has several limitations. The included studies were not specifically designed to answer prospectively the question as to what tangible symptoms and signs as well as treatment options there are for teething and, therefore, a large diversity in studies, study designs, patient categories with different diagnoses, definitions, subjective insights from parents and severity of teething were combined.
Some studies with a low sample number were also included as it matched the inclusion criteria either for children who presented with signs and symptoms of teething, or where there were adequate options for treatment and management of teething. Due to the limited number of studies included in the review, the findings from this study are not generalizable to a number of population groups and patient settings.
This review has shown that although conventional and generic treatment options are constantly in use, there still remains no concrete evidence to prove signs and symptoms of teething nor evidence to disprove it. However, in this review, symptoms such as irritability, increased salivation, runny nose, loss of appetite, diarrhoea, rash, sleep disturbance and gum rubbing were most apparent. Further studies are needed to ascertain these findings objectively and conclusively. Future research is also required to understand and investigate the efficacy of treatment methods and approaches among children with teething symptoms.

Changing Attitudes about IFC Driving ViaSat Revenue Strategies – Satellite Today
Aircraft switching from beam to beam or satellite to satellite. Photo: ViaSat
[Via Satellite 02-12-2015] ViaSat Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Mark Dankberg sees an opportunity for new in-flight Wi-Fi strategies and technology to drive revenue for the company, even in the face of a shrinking U.S. market. In a conference call regarding an otherwise underwhelming third quarter earnings report — in which the company reported 18,000 in net adds against an expected 20,000 — ViaSat saw potential for growth in its In-Flight Connectivity (IFC) business portfolio in conjunction with a fluid, revenue-driving strategy.
“Aviation broadband and consumer broadband are the big growth drivers in ViaSat’s business in both the near and medium term,” Andrew Spinola, senior analyst at Wells Fargo told Via Satellite. Last quarter ViaSat reported strong aviation shipments with 276 total planes in service to date. But with its major airline customers expecting near completion for installations on their contracts by mid-2015, Spinola warns that the company needs to score contracts elsewhere to keep the momentum going. “The aviation business will slow after JetBlue and Continental are fully activated unless ViaSat wins additional business,” he said, noting that there are few commercial aviation opportunities left in the United States.
ViaSat’s CEO doesn’t seem phased, however, and hopes to grow this market through new revenue-driving strategies that follow what he believes to be a changing attitude surrounding the expectations of price, speed and reliability in the IFC market.
“Everyone pretty much took for granted that in-flight Wi-Fi was kind of slow, independent of the price point. Airlines were focused on just checking the box to say they had Wi-Fi … but here you can see attitudes are definitely changing,” said Dankberg in reference to an image on Routehappy.com illustrating customer satisfaction with the Exede Wi-Fi offering available on JetBlue. “Now, we are seeing increasing attention paid to the quality of the Wi-Fi by the airlines. In-flight Wi-Fi is more and more seen as more than just ancillary revenue. More airlines are asking questions about how the best Wi-Fi could be monetized and integrated into a holistic brand strategy. It’s not yet totally clear what those monetization strategies are but, as in most things, Internet and mobile economic value tends to follow user engagement.”
ViaSat is already working out ways to up user engagement alongside JetBlue, with tactics such as offering the service free-of-charge through a series of strategic partnerships and using pay walls to reduce bandwidth congestion.
Additionally, technology-related strategies are also coming into play. Particularly in terms of addressing latency concerns, which still pop up as an issue when it comes to pitting the satellite-based offering against the more traditional Air-to-Ground (ATG) services. However, Dankberg believes the company can overcome the latency challenges through enhancing speed and bandwidth.
“We believe that the dominant measures of technical performance for broadband really are speed and bandwidth,” Dankberg explained. “Yes, latency is important, but for the vast majority of Internet traffic, speed and bandwidth are less decisive.” While the company has expressed interest in combining its satellite offering with an ATG system, it feels that improving these areas may be even more effective in providing customer satisfaction than lower-orbit satellites, which can provide lower latency than geosynchronous ones.
ViaSat is also enthusiastic about its Ku/Ka band satellite system coming into play with ViaSat 2 as well as a dual-band offering antenna the company is planning to introduce later on this year. The Ku/Ka offering will be available for the government market alongside the commercial sector. The somewhat lackluster quarter may work against the provider’s future plans, however.
“The lower levels of net adds have some investors concerned that the market won’t be there to support ViaSat 2, but there are a number of reasons that ViaSat is confident in the case for V2, such as the greater total capacity, substantial increase in coverage, and technology innovations that will allow for meaningfully greater data allowances on V2 service plans, according to the company,” said Spinola, who noted that ViaSat has hinted that the expanding offering may even see new markets, such as the business aviation segment. And ViaSat 2 may well open the door the company needs to keep the IFC business booming despite the lack of U.S. airlines looking for new connectivity.
“Fundamentally, we see bandwidth economics as the enabling technology,” Dankberg said. “Next year ViaSat 2 satellite will be a big step forward compared to ViaSat 1 in both bandwidth economics and geographic coverage. There aren’t any other Ku- or Ka-band satellite systems coming that have bandwidth economics even close to ViaSat 2.”

Zak George (who was, almost interestingly, credited as "Presenter & Producer" in series one, making him the latterday [[William G. Stewart]]) presides over a canine tricks competition. Each episode starts with an "auditions" section from which three children and their dogs are chosen to learn a trick. Whichever kid/canine pair does it best at the end wins, somewhat inevitably, a "golden bone" trophy.
A very similar idea was used for later series, though these were structured as longer tournaments, with heats, semi-finals, and a grand final crowning an overall winner.
The show had a roadshow spin-off, with the somewhat unwieldy title ''Who Let the Dogs Out and About''. Kate Edmondson presented the show, which came from a different location each week. She was joined by Scott Miller (vet), Claire Gillies (dog expert and the show's producer), and Ashleigh Butler and Pudsey ([[Britain's Got Talent]] winners). Ashleigh and Pudsey went on to present the next series of the main programme.

Zak George (who was, almost interestingly, credited as "Presenter & Producer" in series one, making him the latterday William G. Stewart) presides over a canine tricks competition. Each episode starts with an "auditions" section from which three children and their dogs are chosen to learn a trick. Whichever kid/canine pair does it best at the end wins, somewhat inevitably, a "golden bone" trophy.

THINGS OVERHEARD IN THE SYNAGOGUE
by Ira Bedzow
Softcover, 151 pages
Penina Press, Urim Publications, 2012
Striving to record observations of things in his own world, and yielding a perspective that is pertinent to others as well, Ira Bedzow's poetry reveals emotions, frustrations and perspectives that the author has encountered in his life, further supplemented by a few remarks and reflections that strive to give expression to what is already on the tip of our tongues. Through poetical aphorisms, Bedzow intends to fulfill what Job unwittingly advises, "I will forget my complaint, I will put off my sad face and wear a smile."
Ira Bedzow is the author of Halakhic Man, Authentic Jew: Modern Expressions of Orthodox Thought. He lives in Atlanta, GA with his wife Rachel and daughter Ella.
Praise for Things Overheard in the Synagogue:
"Ira Bedzow's wise and sensitive poetry is a 'life story' of introspections and self-evaluations on the backdrop of Jewish traditions and beliefs. Some of the poems are confessional, addressed to the Almighty, and some to humankind."
- Edith Covensky, Poet and Lecturer at Wayne State University
"Ira Bedzow's poetry speaks with a voice that is decidedly contemporary, and yet hinges on ideas and values that have, historically, been of universal interest. Lyrical, yet succinct, he navigates ideas as essential and complex as love, faith and self-discovery."
- Avni Doshi, Art Curator for Gallery Latitude 28 in Delhi, India, and writer for ArtSlant Contemporary Art Network
"Continuing in the great midrashic tradition, Bedzow's poetry arouses our attention to the sensitive interplay between the said and the unsaid in central Jewish texts, while at the same time inviting us to reflect on the pivotal moments of Jewish life."
- Jacob L. Wright, Assistant Professor, Emory University

We Love Food: Posto
"artwork" by ustreetgirl, on Flickr
“A modern Italian place to meet” is Posto‘s motto, and indeed its Logan Circle neighborhood has been eagerly waiting to meet it. The newest venture from executive chef Massimo Fabbri, of downtown’s lauded Tosca, it replaces Viridian next to Studio Theatre and has already escalated in popularity, evident by the full dining room on a freezing Monday night.
It’s a relief to find that Posto has warmed-up the walls of a previously minimal and rather chilly atmosphere from Viridian’s days. The decor might strike some as more Napa than Roma, with columns wrapped in glowing natural wood, but the large light installation murals of grapevines and various Italian scenes like Venice’s Campanile set the scene. Somehow these oversized murals, dancing the line between ironic and tacky, end up being rather joyous. And though many have commented on the decibel level, I found that though it was packed, our table of four could still carry on bantering without much problem.
For my first course I tried the Pesce Spada - swordfish carpaccio with tomatoes, capers and olives. I was surprised to have it come out with a heap of frisee on top (not so much a fan of twiggyness in food), but it matched well with the fish, which was delicate and flavorful. A friend pronounced the Granchio – lump crabmeat with peppers – “very yummy” – but another’s Insalata del Posto - arugula salad with fennel – was deemed “overdressed” (then again, he is a very picky German).
I’d heard pasta was the standout here, made in house by chef de cuisine Matteo Venini, and I was not disappointed. My Tagliatelle with Pheasant Ragout and Cardoons was absolutely perfect, toothsome pasta with a rich sauce that didn’t overwhelm. I was actually a bit jealous of my friend’s Romani order. This is what comfort food is all about, homely little medallions of baked semolina set off by spicy amatriciana sauce, served in a cast iron skillet. Totally what Nonna would make when you were feeling a bit blue.
I ‘ve noticed the pizza has been pretty much damned by most informal and formal critics in the first few weeks of Posto’s opening. Our table had two pizzas that were deemed good, just not exciting. I think it may come down to expectations about the crust. If you like your pizza dough soft, you’ll be pleased. If you like it crisp giving way to chewiness, you won’t.
Dessert was a tangy berry cobbler, that was really rather like cranberry soup with gelato, delicious regardless.
As far as service, we had an extremely lovely waiter, a true Italian professional having just the mix of attentiveness and knowing when to leave us alone.
I think it’s easy to go overboard here and rack up a large bill, but if you restrain yourself wine-wise and don’t go all out three courses as we did (well, it was for a birthday, after all) you could have a relatively inexpensive meal. It appears the pasta prices are at least half of what they are at Tosca, so they are making an attempt to feel our current economic pain.
What I was unable to sample and definitely will return for is the polenta with braised sausage. Must compare to 1905′s polenta with merguez… solely in the interests of culinary science, of course!
Posto is located at 1515 14th St. NW. For more information, (202) 332-8613. Please note Posto does not take reservations.

I’ve eaten there once now (drank wine on multiple occasions) and had their steak (Monzo?) and a side of brussel sprouts and it was delish. It’s not my favorite restaurant in the city by any means, but it’s a good place to hit up after the gallery openings in the neighborhood.
I have to say though, that my friends eat there a lot and have told me that their service is generally below par (which is actually par for DC restaurants).

The wine menu is good, and the menu is exciting, but, at least the night I dined there, the overall experience was disappointing. The onion soup was thick and cold, and kind of gross. The pizza was alright, but the red pepper flakes that I’d asked for to spice up the pizza were only finally delivered when I was down to my last 2 slices. Finally, the panna cotta for dessert was hard and gummy, and inedible.

Dear lawmaker,
I am writing today to let you know that I oppose any attempt to repeal and replace the ACA, through legislative or executive action, or through the courts. Next week, the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals will hear a case that will determine whether or not the ACA will continue as the law of the land. I urge you stand up for the ACA and the health care of your consituents.
Repeal of the ACA would have a devastating impact on the delivery of health care services for West Virginia and the country at large. The dangers to West Virginia health consumers include:
162,000 West Virginians could lose health care coverage.
Loss of health care protection for West Virginians with pre-existing conditions.
Huge potential insurance rate increases for West Virginia families.
Eradication of the Medicaid expansion which provides 159,000 West Virginians with health care
The loss of hundreds of millions to West Virginia’s rural hospitals for uncompensated care.
I hope that you will sign onto a congressional resolution that will protect this important law from further attacks in our courts.
On July 9, the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals will decide whether the Affordable Care Act will remain the law of the land. Despite numerous attempts to repeal it in Congress, opponents to the landmark legislation that has brought health care to millions is being challenged in the courts. To protect the hundreds of thousands of West Virginia who could lose their health coverage if the lawsuit prevails, our congressional delegation needs to step in and ensure that it remains the law of the land.
Learn more about the effects of the lawsuit here and sign the petition below to make your voice heard to West Virginia leaders and tell them that West Virginia's health care cannot be repealed.

10 Great Movies That Peaked In Their Opening Scene
Posted on January 9, 2020 January 9, 2020 by Pau Capdet
The first shot of a movie often has an enormous transcendence regarding the audience’s first impression and judgment of it. It is the first visual glimpse of this new reality the spectator is being pushed into. It does make a great difference if it is a steady shot, a sequence shot; if it contains voice-over or dialogue.
The complicated but often rewarded conception of an exquisite opening scene is fundamental for the early judgment of the audience; if a character is presented in media res everybody will try to discover who that is through the entire movie, or if a key event for the plot is developed initially, as it happens in some of the films in this list, its initial shot will become crucial and be specially kept in the spectator’s memory to understand the development rest of the movie.
All in all, a good opening scene, an initial shot that takes your breath away by suggesting without explaining too much, just makes a movie better. In this list, you will be able to find some great movies that contain even greater opening scenes.
1. A Clockwork Orange (Stanley Kubrick, 1971)
The audience is introduced to the movie through steady red shots that paint the screen in the first seconds, while ominous music is playing and a certain tension for the upcoming images plays a decisive role. Once the title and director credits have appeared in a monumental but cryptical way, the screen switches to the first shot. And what a first shot. A young man with a creepy fearless look is looking straight to camera, his blue ocean eyes are almost covered by his rounded hat and artificial eyebrows, but there is no doubt in his look.
This emotional intensity that Alex spreads is magnified once the shot is opened and the location of the character is unveiled. By using a sequence shot, the strangeness and absurdity of the Korova Milk Bar are firstly presented, as the audience finds out who the rest of the characters are. Additionally, almost at the end of the opening scene, Alex’s voice over appears. He presents himself along with his best friends, the uniqueness of the Milk Bar and finally, their way of living: ultraviolence.
There are countless reasons to consider this one of the great scenes in film history. Nevertheless, most importantly it immediately succeeds in catching the audience’s attention. The bizarre and eccentric set design of the bar along with the almost funny but extremely queer clothes of the characters portray an excellent presentation of what the plot will end up developing. The scene does not explain excessively, but it gives a remarkable glimpse of what is coming next.
2. Jaws (Steven Spielberg, 1975)
The camera explores the underwater. Contrary to the friendly National Geographic documentary precedent Jaws’ extraordinary initial montage stresses the nature of the upcoming scenes. With a nervous music orchestra that seems to be following the camera’s footsteps, the title of the movie and the initial credits all quickly appear underwater, and of course, that will have an indirect significance developed a few shots later.
With a straight cut, the camera now watches a group of young people talking, laughing and partying around a fire on a beach after sunset. Two of them look at each other as if announcing a coming fleshly new romantic relationship. Then, the girl starts running while taking her clothes off near a long fence that ends in the ocean. As expected, the boy clumsily follows her trying to figure out her identity.
Although this could appear to be the first encounter of a young couple in a privileged environment, through the attacking music and the wide and dark photography of the shots Spielberg is already setting the elements for something unexpected and bad ti happen. And so, it does. After a few moments of a swim, the girl is attacked by what could be a shark (we are not shown the animal itself yet) and the boy is incapable of rescuing her.
To create this noteworthy first sequence, Spielberg adopts the constant cut of the editing and the slow fade-in of the music we have already been introduced to grow the tension, which is a key aspect for Jaws to work. Ultimately, through the fast pace of a tragic two people story, Spielberg lights the fire of the fear for the sea (and for the unknown) he will develop in every scene that follows.
3. Touch of Evil (Orson Welles, 1958)
Though a sophisticatedly calibrated black and white wide shot, Touch of Evil starts with the anonymous activation of a mysterious bomb, that will start a repetitive ticking noise, placed on the back of a convertible car. Again, shot as a sequence, the audience is introduced to the US border with Mexico by two parallel stories: a young and freshly married couple walking through the border and another one driving and crossing the frontier by car. Friendly music is always playing to increase the strain under the explosion of the bomb: will it happen? Will it kill the couple? Will they notice it beforehand?
Orson Wells proved in this exquisite opening sequence, that tension can not only grow through parallel editing; long sequence shots that masterfully and physically switch between two stories happening at the same moment can indeed stress the outcome of the scene. This opening scene is beautiful to look at, it creates a precedent for the mystery plot that will be revealed later on, and it works through building on the duality of characters, couples, and countries.
4. Once Upon a Time in the West (Sergio Leone, 1968)
This crepuscular start of the featured Sergio Leone western Once Upon a Time in the West is worth mentioning, as it takes a different path compared to the previously commented movies in this list. Unlike the others, this opening scene not only is intended to present a bunch of characters, a specific location setting or a particular plot point of the film, but it is also voluntarily an extended sequence where nothing happens.
There are no shots, no movement, no words said out loud. And there is no need for those things, because the images, slowly cut from one to another, speak for themselves. In addition, this is indeed one of the longest if not the longest, opening sequence in this list as it takes almost seven minutes for the train to finally arrive.
If music was somehow a decisive element in the previously commented opening scenes, the sound is a key device here as well. From the repetitive wind turbine noise to the annoying fly or the growing sound of crickets around the area, the sequence creates its own soundtrack with diegetic casual noises that happen on screen.
It is also unquestionable that although the sequence is extremely slow-paced, and the camera takes its time to capture this prolonged temporality, the scenes build up an interior tension that the characters express through their eyes and look. This fresh approach of slow temporality as a way to create a growing tension without any particular focus makes this opening scene one of the best in the western genre history.
5. 2001: A Space Odyssey (Stanley Kubrick, 1968)
The dawn of man. The beginning of mankind. This is the title Kubrick himself gave to the opening scene of a movie that announced a new era for the film industry and for developed societies: 2001: A Space Odyssey. Although this may be one of the most quoted movies ever, there are many reasons that somehow justify so. The prelude, the introduction of this nearly 3 hour-long science fiction experiment is a short movie on itself.
Two established groups of gorillas fight upon a small lake of water in desertic surroundings, until a cryptically futuristic blank monolith appears, all of a sudden, just above it as a random gift. This symbol of human intelligence is the cause for one of the gorillas to discover the ability to create a murder tool using only a bone. Through intelligence we find wisdom. Using bones as weapons, the group of gorillas will conquer the lake where they had previously been expelled from. In the end, a bone is thrown to fly in the sky, and this led to the longest temporal ellipse in film history. From prehistory to 2001.
The monolith works as a metaphor of metaphors, as an indicator of artificial life impossibly placed in a primitive era. This builds up to be a brilliantly brave experiment that no other filmmaker has dared to reproduce or imitate. It is not a presentation of the space of characters, it is the symbolic key to the questions the movie will probably leave unanswered later on.

Who Were The Greatest Father and Son Duo In Sports?
August 25, 2017 , prolog, Leave a comment
In sports all over the world we often find the offspring of sporting greats hitting the sport world in order to step away from their father’s legend and make it on their own. It must be tricky for these sons of greats, on one hand you have natural ability handed down to you though DNA and on the other you have colossal pressure to emulate your father’s successes.
Many fail to achieve this but there are many who accomplish it with aplomb and even go on to surpass their father’s accomplishments. Let’s take a look then at the top 10 father and son duos to have ever graced sport.
10- John and Jack Elway
9 – Ken Norton Snr and Jnr
8 -Dale Earnhardt Snr and Jnr
7- Stephen and Dell Curry
6 -Yannick and Joakim Noah
5 – Bobby and Brett Hull
4 – Barry and Bobby Bonds
3- Ken Norton Senior and Junior
Ken Norton was a beast inside the boxing ring and his career record of 42-7-1 featured 33 knockouts and a victory over Muhammed Ali which saw him crowned Heavyweight champion of the world in 1973. Norton Snr is widely considered as one of the top 20 pound for pound boxers of all time and his legacy is one of success. His son by the same name did not follow his dad into the boxing ring but chose instead to emulate his success on the football field, something which he more than accomplished. Norton junior was a linebacker who won 3 Super Bowl in a row in the early 90s. Norton Jnr would go on to add another Super Bowl ring to his collection as a coach in 2014.
2 – Ken Griffey Senior and Junior
Griffey senior was quite a player in the 70s and throughout his baseball career he earned three All-Star call ups, wining MVP in one of them and was a key part of the Big Red Machine team with dominated the MLB throughout the 70s. Griffey’s son had a lot to live up to but this didn’t phase him and he would go on to become one of the most exciting players of all time. At the end go Griffey Jnr’s career, he boasted an impressive 630 career home runs and it whilst this may be an impressive number of runs, it was the style in which he did it that will keep him in the memory of baseball fans everywhere.
1 – Archie, Peyton and Eli Manning
To have one successful son is one thing but to have the world’s best QBs as your children is something else, yet that was exactly what happened to Archie Manning. Archie was a solid player who was widely considered as never quite living up to his potential, something which cannot be said about his sons. eli and Peyton are Hall of Famers with 2 Super Bowl rings each and more throwing records between them than you can ever imagine, with genes like that, we can’t wait for the next generation.

Petrol pimped sandwiches
From petrol to pimped-up sandwiches
Have you heard the one about the old Ballarat service station that became a hip neighbourhood cafe?
Introducing the NYC-inspired Drive, the culmination of 12 months of blood, sweat and tears for Ballarat’s Staley clan.
We spoke to Jarrah Staley about how his family has transformed Golden Point’s ugly ducking into a magnificent melting pot of people and flavours.
Who are the people behind Drive?
“Drive is a homegrown family-run business. Sam and Mick Staley have had 20-plus years experience in running a business, while myself, Ruby, and Marlin have had plenty of years of combined experience in the hospitality industry. We’ve all come to love hospitality in our own ways and thought with the practical knowledge between us that a cafe was the best way for us to give back to the community in providing a place for people to express themselves, converse and create.”
“The front of house team is made up of some of Ballarat’s most professional hospitality members and the back of house is run smoothly by Nicole Edwards.”
What inspired you to turn an old service station into a cafe?
“Living on Grant Street, basically across the road, the old service station was starting to become a bit of an eyesore – a point of view espoused by most, if not all, people we spoke to about it. When discussion first began as to where we could situate the diner, it was an easy choice. One of Ballarat’s best facets is its architecture and buildings, and for so many years, the station sat dormant and aesthetically neglected. As we continue to build upon the site, its potential continuously reveals itself, parallel with the incredible history of its construction and use in the 20th century.”
“In order to keep costs to a minimum, the family put in a lot of physical work themselves. A year’s worth of weekends were spent constructing the interior, painting the exterior and making sure the building conformed to the regulations of its change of use. Yet this work merely reflected the whole point of the diner itself – a place to create and imagine while enjoying the company of those around you – and made everything substantially worth it.”
Drive joins a growing number of neighbourhood cafes popping up away from the main drag. What do you love most about Golden Point?
“Apart from short stints in Melbourne, all of the family have lived in Ballarat their whole lives. We’ve lived in various different suburbs over the years and no matter where we move to, there is always a local, specific sense of community that arises. We’ve always inevitably grown to become friends with our neighbours, spent time at local venues and witnessed the potential of the surrounding area – it is the same with every suburb.”
“We therefore knew that installing a cafe in the heart of Golden Point would only help to revitalise that sense of community and would only help to entrench the connection those living there feel amongst each other. It is already known as the ‘local’ to some (most definitely us) and the amount of consistent customers who live around the area is overwhelmingly positive.”
How are you showcasing local food and drink on your menu?
“This was a decisive point in the creation of Drive. Again, having come from Ballarat, it was a no-brainer to support local food and drink as much as possible and we did this in the most literal sense.”
“There is a surplus of food and dairy producers and suppliers in Ballarat, along with its surrounds. A few examples being meat from Country Style Smallgoods, cheese from Meredith Dairy, and milk by Inglenook Dairy from Dunnstown.”
“Along with food, we’re extremely proud of the drinks list. The majority of our liquid is Victorian, showcasing specifically local talent. Some of the many examples include the multiple-label wines from super intelligent Owen Latta based in Coghills Creek; the precise, delicious Red Duck beers direct from Alfredton; to the rich, malty Port Melbourne-based Starward Whisky.”
“Our absurdly-consistent coffee is sent to us direct from Dukes Roastery in Richmond every week (not even two hours away).”
Tell us about some of your pimped-up sandwiches…
“The whole family’s been to New York and to say we were inspired would be an understatement. The menu plays off a broader American vibe (with the fried chicken and maple waffles presenting flavours reminiscent of something you’d find deep down south), yet it is specifically NY.”
“From the Benedict, to the club sandwich, along with the heavy Israeli/Russian/Italian influence, the menu attempts to be a true melting pot of ingredients that is, yet again, inherently Australian, reflected by the produce and elements of the menu such as the egg and bacon roll.”
“As for favourites, it’s quite hard to go past a classic cheeseburger, the Monterey Jack adding texture in your mouth more than anything, with the pickles providing that briny pop of dill that cuts through the density of Victorian beef.”
“However, the Reuben, a mess of every flavour group present at once, is always going to be a perfect reflection of New York. Slow-cooked corned beef – a British tradition – combined with savoury swiss cheese, sweet-sour Russian dressing and the Eastern European richness of sauerkraut smashed between two fresh slices of rye will never not be mouth-wateringly tempting.”
“With half the family being vegetarian, we’re looking to insert much more vegetarian-friendly options as we continue and, being aware of the potential inherent in seasonality, will persist in playing around with the menu, perhaps moving toward a more South-American influence as the sun starts to come back out later in the year.”

Trump's Twitter account suspended permanently for 'risk of further incitement of violence'
By Tali Arbel, AP Technology Writer
WASHINGTON -- Twitter banned President Donald Trump's account Friday, citing "the risk of further incitement of violence" following the deadly insurrection at the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday.
Twitter has long given Trump and other world leaders broad exemptions from its rules against personal attacks, hate speech and other behaviors. But in a detailed explanation posted on its blog Friday, the company said recent Trump tweets amounted to glorification of violence when read in the context of the Capitol riot and plans circulating online for future armed protests around the inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden.
The social platform has been under growing pressure to take further action against Trump following the Wednesday violence. On Thursday, Facebook suspended Trump's account through Jan. 20 and possibly indefinitely. Twitter merely suspended Trump's account for 12 hours after he posted a video that repeated false claims about election fraud and praised the rioters who stormed the Capitol.
Trump's Twitter persona has long functioned as a mix of policy announcements, often out of the blue; complaints about the media; disparagement of women, minorities and his perceived enemies; and praise for his supporters, replete with exclamation marks, all-caps, and one-word declarations such as "Sad!"
He has fired numerous officials on Twitter and his posts, like his speeches at rallies, are a torrent of misinformation.
The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Twitter declined to make CEO Jack Dorsey available and had no further comment.
The official account for the President of the United States, @POTUS, remains live. In fact, Trump, who issued a statement Friday evening that denounced Twitter as an enemy of free speech and floated the idea that he might build his own "platform," also posted it on the @POTUS account, where it was quickly deleted.
Twitter also suspended the @TeamTrump campaign account after the President Trump tried to post the same message he had posted to @POTUS.
Twitter says using another account to evade a suspension is against its rules, and that while it won't ban government accounts like @POTUS or @WhiteHouse, it will "take action to limit their use."
The suspensions are the toughest stance many social media platforms have taken against Trump. Among the videos deleted was the president's address to supporters who stormed the capital.
Shannon McGregor, an assistant professor of journalism and media at the University of North Carolina, said the move lets Twitter try to curry favor with the incoming Biden administration. Trump "only has two weeks left in power, and that certainly makes it easier to deplatform the president," she said.
In the Trump tweets cited by Twitter, Trump stated that he will not be attending the inauguration and referred to his supporters as "American Patriots," saying they will have "a GIANT VOICE long into the future." Twitter said these statements "are likely to inspire others to replicate the violent acts that took place on January 6, 2021, and that there are multiple indicators that they are being received and understood as encouragement to do so."
Twitter said its policy enables world leaders to speak to the public, but that these accounts "are not above our rules entirely" and can't use Twitter to incite violence. Trump had roughly 89 million followers. Twitter shares fell roughly 4% in after-hours trading, reflecting concerns that the Trump ban might reduce usage and advertising sales.
Jonathan Greenblatt, who heads the Anti-Defamation League, said Friday that banning Trump was an "excellent step" and "a fitting end to a legacy of spewing hate and vitriol." The ADL was part of a coalition of civil rights and advocacy groups on Friday calling for Twitter to ban Trump's account.
Twitter, long accused of treading the president with kid gloves, began policing Trump more aggressively starting in the early days of the general presidential campaign, when the company began aggressively labeling his false tweets about supposedly widespread election fraud as disputed. An actual permanent suspension had been all but unimaginable -- at least until he lost his bid for re-election.
In May, after Trump tweeted the phrase "when the looting starts, the shooting starts" in response to protests in Minneapolis, Twitter added a warning label to his post for the first time. Tensions between Trump and Twitter only escalated from there.
Banning Trump entirely was a big step for the company -- if one that it avoided taking until the president was a lame duck and its larger rival, Facebook, already banned him indefinitely.
Now that Trump has been knocked off one of his favorite pulpits, he may resort to other online channels such as Parler, a 2-year-old, more freewheeling alternative to Twitter that has become increasingly popular among the president's most ardent supporters. Many have used the forum to spread falsehoods and hateful comments.
But Parler, which was already tiny compared to Twitter, has bigger problems that could threaten its future. Google suspended Parler from its app store on Friday over continued postings that seek "to incite ongoing violence in the U.S." The company cited an "ongoing and urgent public safety threat" and said Parler won't be reinstated until the issues are addressed.
Apple has issued Parler a similar warning and given it 24 hours to fix things. Parler CEO John Matze said in a post that the company "won't cave to politically motivated companies and those authoritarians who hate free speech."
While Trump could migrate to Parler, Gab or some other alternative site, doing so will greatly limit his influence, McGregor said. Trump has always craved legitimacy and standing in the mainstream media despite his complaints about normal reporting he has long referred to as "fake news." He won't get that on other platforms, she said.
Democratic Rep. Bennie Thompson, chairman of the Committee on Homeland Security said in a statement Friday that Facebook and YouTube should also ban Trump.
On Friday, Twitter also permanently banned two Trump loyalists - former national security adviser Michael Flynn and attorney Sidney Powell - as part of a broader purge of accounts promoting the QAnon conspiracy theory. Twitter said it will take action on behavior that has the potential to lead to offline harm.
"Given the renewed potential for violence surrounding this type of behavior in the coming days, we will permanently suspend accounts that are solely dedicated to sharing QAnon content," Twitter said in an emailed statement. The company also said Trump attorney Lin Wood was permanently suspended Tuesday for violating its rules, but provided no additional details.
Dozens of QAnon social media accounts were hyping up Trump's Jan. 6 rally in the heart of Washington, expressing hope that it could lead to the overturn of the election results.

Environmental Planning and Permits
Conservation authorities have become the primary local agency to review and comment on development proposals pursuant to the Planning Act and the Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority (ABCA) mandate to manage the watershed's natural resources and to protect life and property. ABCA staff will provide comments to the applicant or appropriate agency for:
Plans of subdivision
Official plans
Municipal drainage reports
Applicants are advised of significant natural areas, flood plain lands, steep slopes, erosion rates, faulty septic systems (in portions of Middlesex County only), the need for stormwater control, buffer strips, and wildlife corridors linking existing natural areas.
Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority has a public web mapping site giving users to access to information on properties we own and hazard areas we regulate:
Mapping portal.
Stormwater Management Policies and Technical Guidelines
This is the Stormwater Management Policies and Technical Guidelines (2009) of Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority (ABCA):
Stormwater Management Policies and Technical Guidelines - 4 MB (Very large) PDF file
Examples of How Environmental Planning Works to Protect Life and Property
The following examples illustrate how useful environmental planning can be:
Example #1
izmir rent a car
Mr. Smith submits an application to construct a house located within a 40-acre woodlot. Portions of the woodlot are located adjacent to a creek and have been designated as a provincially-significant wetland.
The Conservation Authority requests an environmental review of the proposal which will ensure the following;
That the house and septic system will not damage the woodlot, creek or wetland;
That the wetland, that provides flood storage for downstream lands, will not be reduced or negatively impacted by the proposal;
That the woodlot, and any adjacent adjoining woodlots, will not be damaged through unnecessary tree removal or other forestry related impacts;
That the habitat of threatened and endangered species is not encroached upon or adversely affected.
A Lawyer submits an enquiry to our office prior to her or his client's purchase of a lakeshore cottage. Our review indicates that the lot is subject to excessive rates of erosion, which may impact the building during the next 25-50 years - the client chooses not to pursue the deal.
A developer proposes to construct five residential building lots adjacent to a river. The Conservation Authority recommends that a stormwater management plan be completed to ensure that adjacent properties are not damaged due to increased runoff following construction. It is also determined that three of the lots are located within the flood plain. The buildings proposed for these lots are moved outside of the flood plain.
Flood plain lands located adjacent to the river are reserved for the creation of a walkway and natural belt so that all residents can continue to enjoy the beauty of the river corridor.
Regulation of Development
The Regulation of Development, Interference with Wetlands and Alterations to Shorelines and Watercourses (under Ontario Regulation 97/04)
The Regulation of Development, Interference with Wetlands and Alterations to Shorelines and Watercourses (under Ontario Regulation 97/04) replaces the Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority (ABCA) Fill, Construction and Alteration to Waterways Regulation which had been the governing set of regulations for roughly 20 years. The conservation authority’s revised regulation was part of the Red Tape Reduction Act and is designed to protect public safety from natural hazards through the issuance of permits for works close to lakes, rivers, streams, wetlands or sinkholes.
The approval of the regulation in Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority (ABCA) watersheds follows a broad public consultation process that included four public information sessions held in different areas of the watershed in 2005 between August 20 and September 13, 2005. Four municipal information sessions were also held.
Extensive mapping was also undertaken as part of the regulation review process. Under the revised regulation some properties in the watershed that were previously regulated are no longer regulated while some other properties that weren’t regulated before may now be regulated. Under the previous regulations some parts of the shoreline were regulated while others were not. The revised regulation, under the new name ‘Regulation of Development, Interference with Wetlands and Alteration to Shorelines and Watercourses,’ provides consistent application to residents of all shoreline areas.
For further information on Regulation 147/06, please contact Geoff Cade or Daniel King at 519-235-2610 or toll-free 1-888-286-2610.
The Ontario government approved the revised regulation for the Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority Ontario Regulation 147/06, on May 9, 2006 and it was printed in the official Ontario Gazette on May 20 of that year. Prevention of loss of life and property damage from flooding and erosion, as well as enhancing natural resources, is a key mandate of a Conservation Authority and Ontario Regulation 147/06 provides a consistent approach to fulfill that mandate.
Call to see if you are in a regulated area
Before undertaking any filling, construction or altering of watercourses, contact the ABCA or your municipality to determine if you are in a ‘regulated area'. If applicable, ABCA staff will guide applicants through a permit process that involves gathering on-site information, survey work, and providing specific conditions to reduce risk to life and property, reduce potential social disruption and protect the environment from naturally occurring flooding and erosion.
A document about the provincial regulation can be downloaded from the Conservation Ontario website.
The Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority delivered the Fill, Construction and Alteration to Waterways Regulation starting in 1984. This legislation, as set out in Section 28 of the Conservation Authorities Act, enabled the ABCA to review development, filling and construction activity within:
Hazard lands
Flood-prone areas adjacent to creeks, rivers and municipal drains
Areas of slope instability due to erosion, slumping or shifting of steep bluffs or ravines
Before undertaking any filling, construction or altering of watercourses, contact the ABCA or your municipality to determine if you are in a ‘regulated area'. If applicable, ABCA staff will guide applicants through a permit process that involves gathering on-site information, survey work and providing specific conditions to reduce risk to life and property, reduce potential social disruption and protect the environment from naturally occurring flooding and erosion.

Updated Open Source Database Offers Cluster Restriction, Performance Improvements
By John K. Waters
Database maker ArangoDB has released the latest version of its namesake open source database with a feature that allows users to restrict individual databases to one node in a cluster.
The feature, called OneShard, is being introduced in the Enterprise Edition of ArangoDB 3.6, which is available now.
ArangoDB is a native multi-model database with flexible data models for documents, graphs, and key-values. A database created with OneShard enabled is bound to a single database server node, the company explained in a statement, but still replicated synchronously to additional nodes. This binding ensures the high-availability and fault tolerance of a cluster setup, but with performance similar to a single instance. It also makes it possible to run transactions with ACID (atomicity, consistency, isolation, durability) guarantees.
OneShard is ideal for use cases with graph traversals and JOIN-heavy queries, as well as multi-tenant applications, the company said. "In conversations with our community, we found many of our users expressed the need for the high-availability and fault-tolerant benefits of a cluster, but they didn't necessarily want to scale horizontally and sacrifice performance," said Claudius Weinberger, CEO and co-founder of ArangoDB, in a statement.
ArangoDB is available in both Enterprise and Community editions. New features common to both in this release include:
Subquery performance optimization:
This release introduces a new optimizer rule called "splice-subqueries," in which subquery splicing inlines the execution of certain subqueries.
Parallel execution of AQL queries:
This release comes with the ability to parallelize work in many-cluster ArangoDB Query Language (AQL) queries when there are multiple database servers involved.
Late document materialization:
With the late document materialization optimization, this release limits sorting to index data for queries that use a combination of SORT and LIMIT, which the company says reduces memory usage and supports better utilizing caches.
Early pruning of non-matching documents:
ArangoDB 3.6 evaluates FILTER conditions on non-index attributes at the same time it does a full collection or index scan. With the scanning and filtering happening concurrently, queries that filter on non-index attributes will run faster, the company said.
New ArangoSearch capabilities:
ArangoSearch, ArangoDB's full-text search engine with ranking capabilities, now offers edge n-grams to support word-based auto-completion queries. In this release, ArangoSearch also supports expressions with array comparison operators in AQL and the ability to mark the beginning/end of the input sequence in the n-gram Analyzer. TOKENS() and PHRASE() functions also accept arrays, enabling dynamic search expressions.
More information is available on GitHub.

What is Wrongful Termination ?
Wrongful termination is a violation of the law but often difficult to prove without the expert advice of a trusted Miami wrongful termination lawyer.
Termination that occurred on the basis of discrimination, harassment or illegal retaliation due to complaints about discrimination, unpaid wages, requests for medical leave, workers’ compensation, and/or reporting illegal activity constitutes wrongful termination.
In most wrongful termination cases based on discrimination, the employee will need to file a formal claim with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) within months of the termination.
EEOC Process
The EEOC is the federal government agency responsible for enforcing anti-discrimination laws in the workplace. Legal experts agree that an employment law attorney should file the wrongful termination claim with the EEOC on your behalf.
Before filing, the attorney will gather evidence that discrimination and/or retaliation ultimately resulted in your wrongful termination.
Any skilled wrongful termination attorney in Miami or Florida would agree that the strongest claims are backed by compelling evidence such as text messages, emails, witnesses or showing that the reason for termination is false and an employee was treated differently than those in a similarly situated position.
Given the nature of your claim, this may be emotionally upsetting; the investigation may require you to recollect traumatic events to maximize the strength of your claim from the start.
In the meantime, start thinking about your time at work and how others in your same or similar position were treated differently and why the stated reason for termination is false. State and federal employment laws protect employees who are discriminated against in the workplace.
What Types of Discrimination Does the EEOC Recognize?
Medical Accommodation Requests
What are examples of Workplace Discrimination?
Sometimes discrimination is more subtle, leaving employees blindsided by wrongful termination.
Carefully consider the workplace environment and whether employees in the same or similar roles receive equal treatment.
Were company policies equally enforced? For example, Sara and Bill were 35-minutes late to work every morning but the employer only reprimanded Sara.
Did the employer offer equal benefits to employees with identical job classifications? For example, John and Lisa started working for a medical supplies company at the same time and had the same job duties, qualifications, and job title, yet John drove a company car; Lisa was denied one plus John made an additional $10,000 per year.
Was the employer’s on-boarding process the same for employees with identical job classifications? For example, there are two identical job openings at Company A. Equally qualified applicants Drew and Mark pass the interview and told they’ll be notified by phone about a decision. The next day, Drew, a white man, gets a call; he got the job. Mark, a black man, also gets a call; he’ll get the job, too, but only if he produces three additional references.
Rate of Pay
Were similarly classified employees paid equally? For example, 60-year-old Carl works as a forklift operator and makes $15 an hour. His 25-year-old co-worked Manny also drives a forklift but makes $19 an hour for the same work.
Termination History
Did the employer regularly terminate employees from certain minority groups? For example, Company A terminated 20 employees last year--ten men, ten women. Of the 20, though, 15 were Muslim with great performance records.
Workload Distribution
Did the employer evenly distribute the workload among employees? For example, Kat, a graphic designer at a boutique agency, announced she was pregnant. Shortly thereafter, her supervisor doubled Kat’s workload.
Workplace Injury and Benefits Request
Did the employer treat employees who were injured on the job equally? For example, Matt and Corey were injured on the job. Their employer allowed Matt to work from home but required Corey to work on-site despite having the same back injury.
What Does At-Will Employment Mean?
An overwhelming majority of the American workforce is “at-will,” meaning that employment is presumed to be voluntary and indefinite. In other words, you may quit for any reason, at any time, without warning. It’s also important to realize that an employer has the right to terminate you for almost any reason, at any time, without warning. Thankfully, it is illegal for an employer to terminate you on the basis of discrimination and/or retaliation for complaining about discrimination, workplace injuries, illegal activities or other protected activities.
What is Discrimination?
The bottom line: discrimination against an applicant and/or employee on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability, or age is illegal. It happens, though. And workplace discrimination manifests in many different ways. Some examples include:
For example, a qualified candidate is denied the job solely based on the color of their skin.
For example, an inexperienced male employee is promoted over a qualified female candidate.
For example, a Jewish employee receives less training than a Christian colleague, limiting their job proficiency and jeopardizing job security.
For example, a new, non-vital job duty that prevents employees with disabilities from working.
What is Harassment?
Harassment of any kind is wrong, but only illegal if based on discrimination or protected activity.
Thousands of workers each year report workplace harassment ranging from racial slurs to unwelcome sexual advances. This creates non-productive, hostile work environments.
Some examples of workplace harassment include:
Unwelcome Comments
For example, comments about an employee’s physical appearance, including sexually explicit fantasies.
Racial Slurs and Epithets
For example, making derogatory comments and using offensive terms with racial undertones and stereotypes.
Prejudicial Statements about Sexuality
For example, making offensive comments about an employee’s gender traits.
For example, making offensive comments about an employee’s faith and religious beliefs.
For example, targeting an employee with hostile behavior on the basis of age (over 40).
For example, spanking an employee’s butt. Quid pro quo is another form of workplace harassment that AN Law Firm, P.A. regularly handles.
For example, an employee propositioned for a sexual favor in return for job security is a type of quid pro quo. It’s inappropriate and creates a hostile work environment. Think of a quid pro quo as a “favor for a favor” or the equivalent of “you-scratch-my-back-I-scratch-your-back.”
Sexual harassment is abhorrent and unacceptable. It can also be physically and emotionally taxing, which is why AN Law Firm, P.A. empathically supports its clients throughout the legal and emotional process. If you were/are being sexually harassed in the workplace, please talk to us. We want to help.
What Are Some Examples of Wrongful Termination?
These are some of the cases Miami wrongful termination lawyer Alberto Naranjo has personally handled to prove a hostile work environment existed. Names have been changed to protect client confidentiality, but the details of the story remain the same.
Amy had been working at a busy medical facility for five months when the company’s CEO invited her to dinner. At that dinner, the CEO attempted to kiss Amy on the mouth. Amy rejected the CEO’s unwanted sexual advance and was terminated shortly thereafter. Our investigation uncovered a workplace culture of complicity and exposed a predatory CEO. The company agreed to award a severance package worth more than Amy had earned in her five months of employment. Adam has a rare medical condition that prevents him from spending time outdoors. Long-term sun exposure is detrimental to his health, but he is fully capable of meeting work responsibilities with reasonable accommodation.
Unfortunately, Adam’s employer denied his request for reasonable accommodation, which led to his unjust termination. Our investigation proved that Adam was, in fact, wrongfully terminated. The court agreed and awarded compensatory damages.
Mark, a black valet attendant, was often left out of staff meetings and blatantly ignored by his Hispanic/Latino supervisor. That supervisor ultimately terminated Mark with no warning and/or explanation for the decision. An AN Law Firm, P.A. investigation discovered that the supervisor let Hispanic/Latino employees regularly break company policies and procedures without consequence. Alberto was able to recover lost wages for Mark on the basis of racial discrimination.
Several Central American janitorial workers were terminated after complaining about verbal harassment and ethnic discrimination. Attorney Alberto Naranjo was able to prove the janitors often worked for less money than their colleagues and were targeted for termination by their supervisor. The workers received a generous severance package as a result of our investigation.
Jen, a black female, was terminated from her job after voicing concerns about her supervisor’s discriminatory behavior. AN Law Firm, P.A. investigators discovered that the supervisor, a white woman, often rewarded Jen’s white colleagues with work-from-home privileges and other benefits not readily available to Jen. Moreover, Jen’s supervisor blatantly refused to give her a raise despite stellar performance reviews and perfect attendance throughout her year-long stint with the hospital. This information, along with the client’s written records of racial discrimination, helped Alberto Naranjo recover Jen’s lost wages.
Protecting Yourself Against Wrongful Termination
The following tips help employees protect themselves against wrongful termination:
Detailed Records
Document all discriminatory, harassing, or retaliatory comments made and/or directed about you. Include all related write-ups, performance reviews, and documents, but keep the information private until consulting an attorney. Employment law experts suggest employees keep a personal diary (not on company-owned devices) for these record-keeping purposes.
Personal Emails
It may be difficult to recover emails from a former employer’s serves. Use a personal email account whenever you communicate with an employer about discrimination, unpaid wages, medical leave, policy violations, illicit activity, and other matters not directly with your job duties.
Observe the Workplace
It’s possible an employer may favor some employees over others, but that’s only illegal if it violates anti-discrimination laws. Pay close attention to how the employer treats employees in similar roles and keep a log of specific examples. Include dates, names, etc.
Contact an Employment Law Attorney
Labor laws are complex and, admittedly, not that exciting outside of the profession. Before speaking with HR, speak with an employment law attorney.
Wrongful Termination: The Bottom Line
Wrongful termination is a violation of the law, plain and simple.
No employer has the right to terminate your employment on the basis of discrimination. But every case is different.
If you were wrongfully terminated and are in need of a skilled lawyer, contact Miami’s AN Law Firm, P.A. for a risk-free consultation about your wrongful termination claim.

Who is the Best-Looking Soccer Player from Each Nation?
Soccer>
Post category:Soccer
Belgium – Nacer Chadli
France – Thierry Henry
Brazil – Neymar
England – David Beckham
Uruguay – Edison Cavani
Croatia – Mario Mandžukić
Portugal – Cristiano Ronaldo
Spain – Gerard Pique
Argentina – Lionel Messi
Colombia – Radamel Falcao
Soccer players are not just athletes, they are global superstars. Being seen as the best-looking soccer player from your country can see your image plastered everywhere and massively boost the money you receive from image rights.
Take a look at our run-through of some of the most handsome players, past and present, from each of FIFA’s top 10 ranked nations.
Validate your title as a true football fan by answering 10 quick questions about the world’s most handsome players!
Go to Quiz!
The Monaco winger is by no means the best, or even the most high-profile Belgium player. In fact, with a full team available he would probably to struggle to make the starting 11. However, the Belgian, who is of Moroccan descent has his incredible genes to thank for often being the go-to man for kit reveals and photoshoots.
Va-va-voom, was there really another choice? Henry’s image has been used to promote an almost endless range of products, including the Renault Clio, Gillette, Pepsi and Beats as well as having big money deals with sportswear giants Nike, Reebok, and Puma throughout his career.
Known for its sexy brand of football, it is fitting that they have so many attractive players. Neymar edges this one on his mega marketability value, having signed big sponsorship deals with Volkswagen, Panasonic, Unilever, Santander, and many more by the age of just 28!
David Beckham has probably earned more money from his image than any other footballer in history. The former Manchester United man’s incredible good looks have bagged him genuinely countless endorsement and modelling deals, culminating in him being appointed Ambassadorial President of the British Fashion Council in 2018.
Not to everyone’s taste, but the 6-foot Uruguayans iconic long flowing hair and imposing stature is enough to secure his place on this list. The apparent lack of good-looking Uruguayans also helps his case.
Like a fine wine, the huge 6 foot 3 trim Croatian has definitely grown into himself and can now truly consider himself amongst footballs most attractive. His lack of commercial deals may be put down to his looks seemingly coming to him later to him in life.
Ronaldo’s incredible physique is enough on its own to cement his place as Portugal’s most attractive player, his handsome looks are a bonus. Being one of the most marketable and richest soccer players of all time, CR7’s appearance has also helped him to accumulate the second-highest net worth of any player in history.
What is it with the Spaniards and good looks? Any number of players could have won this one but Pique, who starred in the music video for the 2010 World Cup song ‘Waka Waka’, just edges it. The Barcelona players’ incredible looks have also seen him go on to marry pop superstar Shakira!
A prime example that long hair isn’t for everyone! In his younger days, Messi wouldn’t have made this list, but since getting that trim, growing a beard and getting tatted up the Argentine has taken his image to another level! This has surely had at least a small role in Messi accumulating the 4th highest net worth of any footballer in history.
Lionel Messi is among the top 5 soccer players with the most major honors.
Falcao was once named ‘The Sexiest Footballer Alive’ by Glamour magazine. Having sported both long and short haircuts, the Colombian has arguably pulled both off to perfection. ‘El Tigre’s’ good looks are undeniable, and he firmly belongs in the company on this list.
Good looks obviously aren’t the only thing that can increase a player’s profile or marketability, nor is it the most important, but this list is a testament to the fact that it does help!

Who Is Joel Edgerton Wife Or Girlfriend – Christine Centenera?
By Uju
Fans often go overboard about celebs and their unique styles, labeling a good number of them as best dressed. However, the ones that really have it on hot coals are the fashion editors. Let’s take Joel Edgerton’s partner Christine Centenera as a case study. She was once employed in her capacity as the fashion editor for the popular Harper’s Bazaar in Australia but is presently with Vogue Australia also functioning as an editor.
Those may be her core jobs but Christine Centenera has something equally important on the side. She is a known stylist and has been hard at work with Kanye West who has plans of creating a fashion line. Reports hinted that she is behind the exceptional looks that Kim Kardashian is currently sporting, especially with Kim’s husband taking several fashion cues from the stylist and recycling all on his wife.
Who is Christine Centenera?

The details about Christine Centenera’s birth and family background have never come under the spotlight of the media including the identities of her parents and siblings. In the same vein, no one has the facts about the fashion editor’s academic qualifications.
However, everything about her career journey is all out in the open. In spite of her comparative geographic seclusion as the fashion director for the popular Vogue Australia, the famed stylist has personally, forged a circle of top-notch fashion insiders and celebrities, which include the likes of Justin O’Shea and Kanye West.
Her tenure with the publication saw Christine Centenera’s styling several notable names in Hollywood, including Naomi Campbell, Cate Blanchett, Elle Fanning, Cara Delevingne, Gisel, and Kim Kardashian. The celebrated stylist also takes the credit for the unique looks of Kate Upton, Lara Stone, Gemma Ward, Miranda Kerr, as well as many other big names in the entertainment industry.

One of her notable styling jobs is Kim’s cover for the popular Vogue Australia which came a while after the reality TV celeb put to birth for the second time. Christine is regularly photographed by big names like Garance Dore and Sartorialist as the admiration for her impeccable wardrobe continues to rise.
Christine Centenera was formerly with Harper’s Bazaar Australia as their fashion editor but later moved to Vogue after putting in a decade with Harper’s. Her affiliation with The Artist Group was quite brief, but she functions as an independent consultant working with top-notch celebs like Kanye West (for his womenswear line) and Ksubi. Christine has also worked for Louis Vuitton as a stylist under Virgil Abloh – the men’s creative director. Towards the end of 2017, she went into collaboration with Josh Goot to launch Wardrobe NYC – the unisex clothing line with 4- and 8-piece uniforms on offer. Christine has since moved to New York and is presently represented by M.A.P Sydney

Her Salary
It is true that Christine Centenera’s net worth has not been reported by any media source; however, stipulations by some news sources stated that the chic stylist receives a jaw-dropping $1 million as a retainer fee, just for her work with Kim Kardashian West.
From the eye-popping red carpet gowns to all the bodycon dresses, as well as the neutral camisoles, it has been Christine all the way. She is the one who takes the credit for Kim Kardashian’s beautiful high-fashion makeover.
Her signature style
The celeb fashion editor is best recognized for several of her stylish ensembles in black with daring “look-at-me” chokers, in addition to footwear that appears so chick that you will be forgiven if you consider snatching the pair right off her beautiful feet.
Many have been vocal in their admiration of her style, typically, Christine Centenera comes well covered from her head to her toes, yet, the famed stylist still oozes that subtle sex appeal that calls out to you. From what is obvious, nobody but Christine can effortlessly make baggy pants and a knee-length skirt to scream SEXY!
What fans admire most about Christine Centenera’s personal style is that it appears so wearable, relax as well as laid-back. Many of her wears may have come straight off the runway, but the most interesting part is that she sports most of them so effortlessly. With the famed fashion editor, the emphasis always goes on the clothes she wears, always preferring to go for the simple hairstyle and make-up to draw more attention to her apparel.

Kingdomino Accessibility Kit
This kit requires the full version of the game to play.
Description from Board Game Geek
In Kingdomino, you are a lord seeking new lands in which to expand your kingdom. You must explore all the lands, including wheat fields, lakes, and mountains, in order to spot the best plots, while competing with other lords to acquire them first.
The game uses tiles with two sections, similar to Dominoes. Each turn, each player will select a new domino to connect to their existing kingdom, making sure at least one of its sides connects to a matching terrain type already in play. The order of who picks first depends on which tile was previously chosen, with better tiles forcing players to pick later in the next round. The game ends when each player has completed a 5x5 grid (or failed to do so), and points are counted based on number of connecting tiles and valuable crown symbols.

Personal papers of William Diamond
WB IBRD/IDA DIAMOND
1955 - 1990, 1999 - 2000
Throughout his career, Diamond kept a personal file in chronological order. Sometimes this file was primarily copies of the messages he sent, but at other times he included copies of incoming messages and copies of correspondence that had been sent to him by others. Occasionally a speech draft or a copy of minutes or other official documents are in the file. Although the papers are in one long chronological series, several distinct parts exist. The earliest file, dating from 1955 to 1958, is primarily outgoing messages and personal items on finances, travel arrangements, and publications. It includes information on EDI courses, Diamond's letters to Bank officials during his missions in Ethiopia, Greece, Turkey, and Tunisia; a letter to Newton Parker, March 24, 1958, on the roles of economic institutions in Honduras; and a memo to S.R. Cope of April 1, 1958, reporting on Davidson Sommers' meeting with a Yugoslav representative on future loans to Yugoslavia. An important series of files relate to Diamond's period in India as an advisor to ICICI. Beginning with his preparations in 1958 for the assignment, through the year in India, and continuing into 1960 after Diamond returned to the Bank, the files provide an exceptional view of the early organization of the ICICI and the establishment of its policies. Diamond included in the files incoming and outgoing correspondence, notes of meetings, reports, and clippings, as well as purely personal correspondence. Correspondents include Eugene Black and George D. Woods, the then current and future presidents of the World Bank; ICICI officials; Indian government officials and industrialists; the IBRD resident representatives in India and Pakistan; and various staff members in World Bank offices in Washington. Some items of correspondence discuss the establishment of the Pakistan Industrial Credit and Investment Corporation Limited and developments in Ethiopia. The bulk of the chronological file covers Diamond's assignments at the Bank between 1962 and 1978, when he retired. For the first eight years the files are primarily copies of Diamond's outgoing messages; thereafter the files increasingly include copies of incoming items, such as reports from the field and copies of items sent to him while he was on official missions. The files from the IFC period contain many items about the development banks in South Asia and North Africa. When Diamond was a director of country programs in the South Asia, the files include information on the Tarbela Dam project and the efforts to assist Bangladesh. The documents in these files are largely duplicates of those in the official files of the Bank, but their chronological arrangement allows the user to see the variety of issues that Diamond was handling at the same time and to trace the evolution of his and the Bank's responses to events. The final part of the series are files relating to Diamond's work as a consultant to IFC between 1980 and 1990. The earliest items relate to IFC's role in the work of the Societe Internatinonale Financiere pour les Investissements et le Developpement en Afrique (SIFIDA), but the bulk of the files relate to the Banco Portugues de Investimento SA (BPI). In 1978 a group of Portuguese industrialists created an Executive Group to develop a private financial institution to promote private economic development. They sought the involvement of the IFC, and the IFC engaged Diamond as its consultant on the BPI. This set of files includes both incoming and outgoing correspondence. The final items inthe Diamond papers are transcripts of two speeches that he gave, one in 1984 on the World Bank's policy on development banks and the other in 1999 on the beginnings of the Economic Development Institute. The Diamond papers are of particular importance to researchers interested in the history of development banks, especially those in India and Portugal, and the history of late twentieth century economic development in South Asia

The countries included in the Africa region (AFR) have remained constant throughout its history, with the exception being the removal of northern African countries (Egypt, Libya, Algeria, Tunisia, and Morocco) into the Europe and Middle East Department (EME) in 1965. These countries have since remained in regional units responsible for Middle East countries. Records related to operations in these countries are not included in this fonds.
This fonds has been provisionally arranged into 13 series. Sub-headings are used to break up the content of this field according to provisional series. For a complete list of the provisional series, see the "System of Arrangement" field.

The majority of the records in this fonds are country operational records. The records in the "operational records" series broadly consist of project records relating to the negotiation and administration of loans as well as general country records relating to economic and sector study. These records were created by Area Departments (1947-1972), Country Departments (CDs, 1972-1997) and Country Management Units (CMUs, 1997-2010) as well as the Economic Department (1946-1952), Technical Operations Department (TOD, 1952-1965), Projects Department (1965-1972) and regional project departments (1972 - 1987), technical departments (1987 - 1997), and sector departments (1997 - 2010).

Personal papers of Martin M. Rosen
WB IBRD/IDA ROSEN
1950, 1962, 1968 - 1969, 1987, undated
The papers consist principally of photographs from Martin Rosen's period at the World Bank. The photographs are very largely ceremonial: Rosen at the ceremony when a country joins International Finance Corporation; Rosen at an annual meeting; Rosen at a formal dinner; Rosen touring factories and construction sites. These provide evidence of the kinds of ceremonies a vice president was expected to attend, information about Bank and particularly IFC projects, and specific information about, for instance, what the inside of a cotton mill in Pakistan looked like in 1969.
The scrapbook contains clippings and photographs of Martin Rosen's World Bank and IFC career. The album appears to have been a farewell present to him when he left the Bank in 1969. By interspersing clippings and photographs, it places the photographs in context.
The papers also include a copy of Hosai Hyuga's Memoir, translated from Japanese and published in 1987. The frontispiece has photograph of Mr. and Mrs. Simon Aldewereld (he was a long serving Bank employee) with Hosai. The book mentions of the Bank, but it is primarily concerned with the life of a Japanese government official.

Live long and prosper: Leonard Nimoy as Spock, over the decades
The half-human half-Vulcan dazzled us all on screen for nearly 50 years.
Cyrus Farivar - Feb 28, 2015 3:00 pm UTC
In "Amok Time," Spock is made to believe that he has killed Captain James Kirk. So when T'Pau responds "Live long and prosper, Spock," he replies: "I shall do neither. I have killed my captain and my friend."
On Friday, Star Trek fans everywhere (including many of us here at Ars) mourned the loss of Leonard Nimoy, who famously portrayed Spock, the first officer of the USS Enterprise.
Many colleagues and fans have been expressing their love for him, including Captain Kirk himself.
"I loved him like a brother. We will all miss his humor, his talent, and his capacity to love." -William Shatner http://t.co/U8ZN98tVYp
— William Shatner (@WilliamShatner) February 27, 2015
Michael Okuda, the art supervisor for Star Trek: The Next Generation and other series, told Ars by e-mail:
"We haven't heard anything from his family, except that Susan said he passed with his family and rabbi at his side, and that he passed peacefully "with a smile on his face.' We remember his compassion, kindness, and his gentle sense of humor, even under the unrelenting pressure of directing a movie."
Spock spoke the very first line of the pilot episode of Star Trek (1964), saying "Check the circuit!"
"The Cage" was rejected by NBC, and Nimoy, as Spock, was one of the few cast members who stayed on until 1966 when Star Trek was first broadcast.
In "This Side of Paradise," Spock and other crewmembers are infected with spores, which makes people experience delusional bliss. Once cured, Spock later remarks: "For the first time in my life, I was happy."
It wasn't until "Amok Time," in Season 2, where Spock first performs the now-famous Vulcan hand salute.
Later in "Amok Time," Spock actually says the words "Live long and prosper" for the first time. (The actual line is: "Live long, T'Pau, and prosper.")
"Amok Time" has a happy ending though, when Spock realizes that Kirk isn't actually dead.
Later in Season 2, we meet Spock's human mother, Amanda Grayson (Jane Wyatt), in the episode "Journey to Babel." She pleads with him to donate his own blood to save the life of his father, Sarek.
In "Piece of the Action," Spock, Kirk and McCoy beam down to Sigma Iotia II, where they find a city modeled after the gangster lifestyle of 1920s Earth.
"Mirror, Mirror" is one of the more famous episodes of Star Trek, where we meet Spock's evil twin in the mirror universe.
Later in Season 2, in "Patterns of Force," Kirk and Spock explore the planet Ekos, which has transformed itself into a Nazi-like society.
Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (1982), Spock was promoted to the rank of captain and assigned to Starfleet Command to train cadets. In this role, he had occasion to sit in the center seat of Enterprise on a training mission that turned out to be anything but routine.
In Star Trek III: The Search for Spock (1984), the crew of the Enterprise reunite Spock's body with his katra.
In Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, the crew of the Enterprise time travel to Earth in the 1980s, and have to execute their mission in San Francisco.
1991's Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country saw the Vulcan take on the role of a statesman, championing a mission to help the Klingon Empire recover from an ecological disaster and, perhaps, to broker peace. It was to be the final voyage of the refitted -A Enterprise.
Spock attempted to re-unite the Vulcan people and Romulan Empire in the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode, "Unification" (1991).
In Nimoy's final appearance on film, Star Trek: Into Darkness (2013), the original universe Spock speaks with his alternate universe counterpart, warning him about Khan.

'Amok Time' gets my vote as the source of the best (alleged) TV Guide episode description ever:
"Spock gets a Vulcan mating urge, and almost kills Kirk."
Marcos2247Ars Centurion
I'm a TNG guy. It was my first exposure to Star Trek - I grew up in Eastern Germany.
Never liked TOS back in the day. About 7-8 years ago, I watched every TOS episode to appease my Trekkie pride. Still didn't like it very much. Not my cup of tea.
But I prefer the TOS movies to the TNG movies, The Undiscovered Country is my favorite.
And Spock was *the* Star Trek character for me. Even though I saw thousands of hours more Trek without him than with him.
I don't know how that makes sense. He somehow transcended his actual appearances or whatever.
I was genuinely shocked yesterday.

I watched part of "Amok Time" about a month ago... flipping through channels, I caught it right as the battle started... I really like that episode.
It may be sacrilege to some, but Star Trek IV was my favorite of the movies. Star Trek VI and II are tied for 2nd. I like IV because of the humor and the feels. I've seen II, IV, and VI many (many) times. I think I could recite the script for IV I *love* the scene at the start with the Klingon ambassador and "Tell her... 'I feel fine.'" is also one of those moments when the dust seems to fly in every venue I watch it. Just like when Sulu, in VI, says "Fly her apart then!".
Monti0 Wise, Aged Ars Veteran
Does anyone else remember his sublime voice work for Civilization (IV, I think)?
And I finally figured out why he appeared in that atrocious Transformers movie... Upon reading the online obituaries I saw that his wife name is Susan Bay Nimoy. So, I Googled and yes, it is that Bay... His wife is Michael "BOOM!" Bay's cousin. So it was probably something he had to do because he forgot Bay's birthday or something.

The next time you restrain your frustration and solve some technical problem consider that you may also be part Vulcan.
Great 2012 interview of Leonard Nimoy by LA Times Reporter Geoff Boucher.
Nimoy speaks about the "Amok Time" epsiode, the origin of the Vulcan salute, photography, his stage work, typecasting, the "new" Spock and much more.

Thanks for skipping Star Trek V in the photos. Even though Spock played a prominent role in the story it would have been a disservice to even mention that movie in this article.

I don't think I can ever say enough how much I loved Spock, even from the first time I saw him on the original series. I know by the time it was on prime time in our area the series was done but we watched it every week. Mr. Spock and Scotty made Star Trek for me.

Thank you. It brought back a lot of gaming memories from 2004 (OMG! Half-Life 2 is coming out soon!) Although methinks that the creator of the linked video messed up a bit, I can not recall of the quotes but some of them are definitely not from Leonard Nimoy... The first two "Advanced Flight" and "Aesthetics" isn't but the next one "Agriculture" is from Nimoy.
Maybe it also had to do with his previous involvement with the Transformers franchise?

That's fair. Enough people didn't like it that it lasted only three seasons. It would have been only two if not for an outpouring of support from ardent fans.
OTOH, I *loved* the original series. Back in the late 60's, I recorded nearly every episode on audio cassette and listened to them so often that I had entire scripts memorized for certain favorite episodes: City on the Edge of Forever, Amok Time, Enterprise Incident, to name a few.
The show is truly timeless. ST:TOS boldly broached taboos of the day and even today, the lessons of TOS are relevant. Spock was a critical part of the Trek universe, showed that smarts and logical thinking was cool, and Nimoy was perfectly cast.

Best TOS, yes. But not really best Spock.
It's notable that the two best Spock episodes (Amok Time and Mirror, Mirror) achieve that status because Spock is behaving in a distinctly un-Spocklike fashion. Which leads us to:
So, logically, the movie-that-shall-not-be-named must also be considered among the best Spock moments. And since we're talking about Spock here, logic must be paramount, even though it may cause extreme discomfort in this case. I think we should be allowed to raise an eyebrow, though.

Like "The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins?"
He accepted "being" Spock to a large part of the public. He said in an interview that the typecasting even, on occasion, helped him to get roles as a more "cerebral" character due to the perceived nature of Mr. Spock.
His first autobiography was titled "I Am Not Spock" (1975) but the other one 20 years later is titled "I Am Spock" (1995).
And in spite of (maybe because of) all of that he did have a wildly varied career.
When Shatner passes, hopefully no time soon, I have this funny feeling we will all be making a pilgrimage to Vasquez Rocks and tossing Styrofoam boulders.

The Wikipedia article (yeah, I know, Wikipedia....) claims that the title of the book I Am Not Spock had nothing to do with his like or dislike of being typecast, though it was often mischaracterized as such. Before my time, but it seems accurate.
Also, why the downvotes of GP? It was just a question....
NicoleC Ars Tribunus Militum
My brother and I madly raced to be the first to be able to lift a single eyebrow.
I was so immensely saddened when I heard this yesterday. Although I grew up more on TNG than anything else, I loved all of the original movies (V doesn't exist), and loved the few episodes of TNG where he guest starred. I suspect my favorite character in TNG (Data) was largely influenced by Spock as well.
More so than that, he actually appeared to be a decent human being, with an ego that didn't take up all of the empty space in a room (unlike, ahem, certain other co-actors).
On the off chance you haven't seen this already, or even if you have, go google and watch it right now:
Despite the bad news, it will surely put a smile on your face, even if only for a short while.
Fatesrider Ars Tribunus Angusticlavius et Subscriptor
He was never unhappy about his work as Spock. The title of his book "I am not Spock" was more of a marketing ploy than his sentiment about the character, with which he had already reconciled any feelings about being type-cast. He rose above that type-casting, and embraced the character (as he explained in the second book, "I AM Spock").
He was more than happy, at the end, to be remembered for playing, almost unarguably, the most iconic, beloved and influential fictional character in the history of television and movies.
That's one HELL of a legacy to leave behind.
You'd have done yourself a favor by doing some research (or just reading more in the stories coming out now) about the man instead of posting what you did.

Stewart Williams approached the original design of the current 105,000 square-foot Palm Springs Art Museum in the early 1970s, he studied the desert’s unique light, the contours of the arid landscape and the colors of the San Jacinto Mountains that nestle the museum at their base. The result was a poured concrete wonder, mirroring the magnificent mounts, drenched in the sun-burnt sienna hues distinctly borrowed from the region’s solid, desert rock. A façade of lightweight and porous volcanic cinder adorned the exterior. Today, this mar- riage of cultural institution and geographic setting continues to astound architecture buffs the world over.
Known to the Museum family as Stew, Williams was the last of a generation of desert modern architects who, along with Albert Frey, William Cody, and John Porter Clark, helped define an aesthetic that embraced the informality of Palm Springs and stressed clean lines, indoor-outdoor living and the use of glass and natural materials. Before his death, Williams played a part in the museum’s 1996 expansion, citing that his project could not be complete until the building, the art and the people came together. This philosophy has been integral to the Museum’s success as it has evolved over the years to meet the needs of an ever-changing public.
The evolution is legendary…
As Palm Springs has changed over the past decade to include a younger, more diverse demographic as the result of an unprecedented inland population migration and real estate boom, the Museum has had to simultaneously morph to meet the thirsts of a new audience of young and old who are at once nostalgic and progressive. This changing reality led to the removal of the natural science wing which historically contained exhibitions on indigenous desert species. It also led to the removal of the word “desert” from the Museum’s name, leaving it with a freshened art museum persona. Today, museum visitors are as equally prone to find the famous permanent wooden dining room collection designed by actor George Montgomery (a true nod to Palm Springs’ illustrious 1950s star-studded past as a getaway for the rich and famous) as they are to seeing a David Glomb photography exhibition replete with New York drag queens, celebrity home shots and the stark, cool lines of desert minimalist architecture. The Museum has opened its arms to art and artists that are regionally relevant (DJ Hall and Michael Childers), culturally important (Nathan Olivieros and Chuck Close), blue-chip quality (Dale Chihuly, Robert Motherwell and Helen Frankenthaler), and on the cutting-edge of contemporary (Ginny Ruffner and Jack Lenor Larsen)—a progressive leap away from the Museum’s traditional fare.
“A museum combines art and people,” says Executive Director Janice Lyle. “We have an extraordinary building that gives us a magnificent aesthetic space to display art. Our collection is maturing and I believe we will see major gifts that elevate the quality and quantity of the works in the collection. In addition, we have always cared about the welcoming atmosphere and the educational opportunities that we offer visitors. Our new mission statement tries to capture our ideals: The Palm Springs Art Museum celebrates the creative spirit by exploring the dynamic world of the arts with its community and visitors.”
The cultural shift in the Museum’s communal identity could be seen in the recent lecture that opened the Jack Lenor Larsen exhibit. Larsen was invited to speak in front of museum members and was overheard telling the sold-out crowd of 500 that he had never seen his collection displayed so pleasingly. Among the crowd of young and hip council supporters were nationally-known talents like fashion designer Trina Turk—who helped underwrite the evening—Beat Hotel owner Steve Lowe— who owns and operates the last living shrine to William Burroughs in Desert Hot Springs—pop-graphics artist Jim Iserman, uber-designer David Dixon and architec- tural whiz kid Phillip K. Smith III. These figures are the next generation of major museum supporters who are building the new creative blueprint of a town on the verge of becoming a cultural beast to be reckoned with.
The current exhibition is legendary…
In his exhibit Creator and Collector, Jack Lenor Larsen’s innovative fabric designs envelope a space filled with Larsen’s personal art collection so that the viewer comprehends the common weave between what the artist perceives and what the artist creates as one homogenous pulse-of-life source. With the ceiling-to-floor draping of textiles juxtaposed against translucent glass boxes filled with worldly artifacts and artworks, the exhibition creates the same kind of warp and weft of odd pairings that is seen in Larsen’s fabric compositions. In one piece, Larsen wove torn, saran filaments with a film-like black wire and dipped the entire piece into hot water so that it coiled and shrunk into the fabulously textured and shimmering sheet visible now.
This year’s gala is legendary..
On March 25, 2006 the Museum Associates Council will hold its annual fundraiser for the Museum. The Artists and Legends Gala will honor legendary artists Robert Graham, Dale Chihuly and James Galanos. One of the gala’s chairpersons is world famous photographer Michael Childers, a Rancho Mirage resident known for his glamorous portraits of legendary stars like Greta Garbo and Natalie Wood. A large part of his portfolio is part of the Museum’s permanent collection and includes luscious black and whites of artists like Charles Arnoldi, Andy Warhol and David Hockney.

“It’s not just their celebrity or their fame in the world of art,” Michael Childers says about the honorees. “It’s their continual quest to achieve something new and beautiful, different from any other artist—a constant quest for new vision, for extraor- dinary quality and brilliance.”
“Chihuly & Galanos both have a connection with the desert,” he continues. “Chihuly lived in one of Donald Wexler’s original, architecturally-pristine homes. It’s so wonderful to honor a design genius like James Galanos. His forty years of cou- ture quality work is admired by the world’s greatest designers. Robert Graham I’ve known for thirty years. His work’s brilliance in a totally classical manner constantly amazes me—it’s simplicity in form and shape. His beautiful sculpted doors for the LA Cathedral made me weep with joy, reminding me of the great Renaissance mas- ters such as Bernini & Michaelangelo. Graham needs no introduction—he’s a force unto himself. This gala evening will represent the best of art and design and a fusion with this ever-changing and exciting community we live in. There is glamour and sophistication that has been achieved brilliantly in Palm Springs, and the muse- um is a main part of this town’s cultural renaissance. These three legendary men together in one small town surrounded by mountains in one of the most beautiful climates of the world—you can’t get much better than that.”
Each artist will be awarded a special honor of artistic excellence at the Gala which will feature a dinner in the museum and a performance by Lucie Arnaz and her band in the Annenberg Theater. The fete promises to propel the museum up another notch on the town’s social ladder, positioning an institution with an illustrious past towards an exciting and burgeoning future.

In a letter to the Federal Reserve Board and the Treasury Department today, Senate Banking Chairman Mike Crapo (R-Idaho) raised a number of outstanding issues with recently announced initiatives to bolster the economy that are currently facing difficulties due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Crapo Seeks Clarity from Fed, Treasury on Several Coronavirus Relief Initiatives
on April 16, 2020 Newsbytes, Policy
In a letter to the Federal Reserve Board and the Treasury Department today, Senate Banking Chairman Mike Crapo (R-Idaho) raised a number of outstanding issues with recently announced initiatives to bolster the economy in response to the coronavirus pandemic.
Crapo’s letter addressed the following areas:
SBA Paycheck Protection Program. Crapo urged guidance on participation in the PPP by lenders that are not currently approved; flexibility for businesses in currently ineligible industries to access the PPP; clear communication regarding the secondary market for PPP loans, guidance on loan forgiveness, and a comprehensive hold harmless agreement; and an acknowledgement of the good faith effort by banks to roll out the program without full guidance.
Paycheck Protection Program Liquidity Facility. Crapo noted that the facility must be widely accessible, including to a variety of non-depository institutions.
Main Street Lending Program. To ensure broad participation in the program, Crapo urged resolution of issues related to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA). He also called for flexibility for institutions to use a rate other than the Secured Overnight Financing Rate; clarity that the underwriting and lending decisions ultimately lie with the bank; and permission for U.S. branches and agencies of non-U.S. banks to act as intermediaries for their customers.
Corporate credit and asset-backed securities. Noting that additional steps will be needed to stabilize credit markets, he urged the Fed and Treasury to seek input on how to expand the Primary Market Credit Facility, Secondary Market Corporate Credit Facility, and Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facilities.
The Fed’s Municipal Liquidity Facility. Crapo called for updates to the program that would include cities, counties and tribes in rural states and provide greater clarity on pricing.
“Given the state of the economy and employment as a result of working to stop the spread of COVID-19, it is important that the Treasury and Federal Reserve get these facilities operational and lending to the real economy in short order,” Crapo said.

Chris Salans’ Mozaic & Spice Reopen in Bali
Business, Food & Drink, Health, Restaurants May 26, 2020June 13, 2020 J. M. Daniels
After closing in late March in compliance with government directives to thwart the spread of the COVID-19 Pandemic, Bali’s Celebrity Chef-Owner Chris Salans has announced that both the Mozaic Restaurant Gastronomique and Spice by Chris Salans, both in Ubud will reopen for business on 01 June 2020.
Mozaic Restaurant Gastronomiqe & Spice by Chris Salans Reopens for Business
The reopening follows a careful review of Bali’s implementation of policies to break the chain of coronavirus infection, a global survey of best practice in the restaurant and hospitality industry, and two-months of intensive hygiene and sanitation for both the kitchen and service staff at Salans’ two popular dining places in Ubud.
Commenting on the reopening, Salans said: “I am happy to be reopening our restaurants to allow our team to get back to work without compromising the safety and security of our guests or team members, which will always be our uppermost consideration. With the help of my colleagues in Europe, I was able to have access to the newest standards of operations specific to the Covid-19 pandemic. After weeks of hands-on training, I am confident that my team is ready to serve our guests in a safe environment.”
Private Dining at Mozaic’s Workshop
In collaboration with Les Grandes Tables du Monde, a worldwide association of 2 and 3 Michelin Star Restaurants of which Mozaic is part, Chef-Owner Chris Salans was able to access the latest standards and procedures for hygiene and sanitation in the COVID-19 era.
The teams have trained to these exacting standards, with Chef Chris Salans confident to now reopen his restaurants to the public.
While Mozaic and Spice by Chris Salans will continue to be renowned for their outstanding cuisine, some of the post-COVID-19 innovations incorporated into the daily operations include:

[The Surnames of Cornwall is now published. For more see here.]
So what exactly comprises a Cornish surname and how is this different from a surname in Cornwall? The old saying tells us that ‘By Tre, Pol and Pen, you shall know the Cornishmen’. Actually, you won’t. At most, you’ll only know about one in 20 Cornishmen (or women) by these criteria. Even in the later 19th century, only around 4-5% of people in Cornwall had surnames beginning with Tre, Pol or Pen. This proportion did however vary, from less than 2% in parts of the east to over 10% in parts of the west.
In addition, we could look for those surnames that were most frequent in Cornwall prior to the in-migration that began in the 1960s. In the 1861 census, the following were the 20 most common surnames in Cornwall. The figure in brackets shows their rank in England and Wales, as provided by a parliamentary report from the Registrar-General in 1853 that lists the top 50 surnames at that time.
Jenkin
As we can see, the names differed in Cornwall although the only relatively unique Cornish language name on the list is Pascoe. Most of our forebears had names that could also be found in England and/or Wales, although they were far less popular east of the Tamar. Nonetheless, as we know, those bearing these names can be as ‘Cornish’ as anyone with a Tre/Pol/Pen type name. As Robert Morton Nance put it in the late 1940s,
‘the most aristocratic of Cornish surnames may record only the loot, by a Norman, of the estate of a Saxon, who dispossessed the heir of a Cornishman, who founded it and gave it his own name with Tre- before it; while the Cornish founder’s heirs may still walk among us bearing perhaps, like so many Celts in Wales, some name such as Williams, Thomas or Richards.’
While we could quibble about Nance’s definition of an ‘aristocratic’ Cornish surname, and while archaeologists and historians have revised the picture of a simple takeover by the English, now preferring a process of cultural change, the point stands. If your parents and a grandparent or two were born in west Cornwall and you possess one of the common names of the 19th century, then there’s a very good chance that your forebears were Cornish-speakers into the 1500s and 1600s.
Moreover, there’s a third possible way of identifying ‘Cornish’ names. We might ask which names were most unique to Cornwall. In 1881 the likelihood of encountering someone of the ten names listed below was around 90 times greater in Cornwall than in England.
Beswetherick
Daddow
Keverne
Oxnam
Penlerick
Sturtridge
Tellam
Tremewan
Vellanoweth
Some of these have their origin in Cornish placenames, for example Tremewan, Vellanoweth or Penlerick. Others like Medlyn and Daddow originated in personal names. Meanwhile, Sturtridge and Oxnam come as more of a surprise. These names are presumed to have originated in places in Devon, but had become restricted to Cornwall by the late 19th century.
If we assume that the purpose of identifying ‘Cornish’ surnames is to add to our credentials as Cornish, a people now recognised, however belatedly or reluctantly, by the UK Government as an indigenous national minority, then we must surely draw the boundaries as widely and inclusively as possible. That means including the most common and the most unique names in addition to those that more obviously have their roots in the Cornish language or Cornish placenames. This provides us with a distinct stock of surnames, some exclusively Cornish, some commonly Cornish and some frequently Cornish, but all borne by Cornish people or their descendants.

Hi, I read a while ago – but lost the reference – that my maiden name, Kease was ancient Cornish, as it was listed in a book of ancient Cornish names. Do you have any knowledge of such a book please?
You might be thinking of John Bannister’s A Glossary of Cornish Names, which lists Kease as a placename, although I can find no actual place of this name in other sources. Kease was not a surname in Cornwall in 1861 or in 1641, although of course Keast is a well-known Cornish surname.

Jim Wearne says:
My name – “Wearne” – is from (much shortened and smoothed out) the pre-Cornish Brythonic language that once was spoken throughout Southwestern Britain in the Dumnonian Kingdom. It refers to a place with alder trees growing near a marsh, and originated at the Easternmost edge of the Dumnonian lands, in what is now Somerset, near the river Parrett. There is a hamlet there called Wearne, in which I like to think my ancestors originated.
Heidi Wearne Kollias says:
Hello Jim Wearne!
I’m looking through some
Ancestry things and found this. My name is Heidi Wearne and my Cornish ancestry comes from
Redruth and the surrounding area. I’ve lived briefly in England and visited the village of Wearne. It is lovely. I’d like to think that many generations ago my family came
from there as well. Would you like to compare genealogies?
Hamish Cheites says:
I have been trying to find the origin of my surname. Do you think it could be Cornish from chei tes meaning heat house? Have you ever encountered this name in Cornwall or its records?
Hi Hamish, Sorry but there’s nothing resembling your surname in any 16th Cornish source that I can find. It’s an unusual name that also doesn’t appear in any of my surname dictionaries. You’re unique! However, it’s unlikely to be chy, as chei was a very late spelling derived from Lhuyd’s orthography in the 18th century. Earlier names with chy would usually be spelt chy- or che- as in Chynoweth/Chenoweth.
Gweltaz ar Fur says:
I heard there is a cornish surname spelt in English “Fear/Feer” which is similar to my own breton surname “Fur” : both mean “Wiseman”. “Jewell” originated from Breton surname “Juhel” (<*Iud-hael)
‘An fear’ in Gaelic means ‘the man’
Tom Crago says:
While not listed in this article, I believe Crago is a very likely unique Cornish surname. I’d like to know how to produce a map like the one in this article. Can anyone tell me how to get that done?
The maps were produced using gimp (free photoshop software) and various templates. And yes, Crago is a Cornish locative name, from either Cragoe in Ruanlanihorne or Creggo in Mylor.
Fylip Mab Brian says:
Often wondered about Hosking but can’t find anything definitive.
It’s one of those puzzles – very common in Cornwall but with supposed derivations (OE personal name or Co for sedgemarsh) that aren’t exactly convincing. The -ken/-kin/-king suffix is typical of patronyms and I would lean in that direction but unsure what the original given name would be.
Joe Flood says:
Hoskin is probabley a patronymic diminutive of Henry.

Owen Trembath says:
There was significant migration from Cornwall in the years before the 1861 Census – making it likely that the proportion of ‘Cornish’ surnames would be higher in those of 1851 and 1841 respectively.
Not sure this follows, Owen. You’re right that mass emigration began in the 1840s. But if there was no net in-migration, which there wasn’t at that time, it wouldn’t affect the proportions of surnames in the population, just the absolute numbers. Unless people with ‘Cornish’ surnames were more likely to leave that is.
Peter Glynn Bennetts says:
My famly name is Bennetts and most of my forefathers included the name Vivian as a forename, I have traced them to Leylant, St Ives and to Camborne and have noted that it still is a common name. Can you tell me where my name originated please?
The surname Bennetts is a patronymic from a popular medieval first name – Benedict, or in the vernacular Bennet. It was originally from the Latin Benedictus (blessed) and was the name of St Benedict who founded the Benedictine order of monks around 500. Bennet was already a common byname/surname across Cornwall in the early 16th century although at that time usually without the -s
vikkib2013 says:
My maiden name is Trewolla. There are not many of us left. My ancestors came to the USA in 1841. I believe Trewolla means lower manor in the old language.
Yes, there are a couple of places in Cornwall with this name and it could have originated in either. Tre- was more of a hamlet than a manor though, although manor sounds posher.
I have able to trace my EDYVEAN family in Cornwall back to the mid 1700’s. And my LAMPSHIRE/LAMPIER family back to mid 1600’s – where do suppose they originated from going by this blog
Lampier first appears in the 17th century in St Clement. I can’t find anything resembling this name in the 1500s. In the 1700s it was still restricted to the Truro area but seems to have spawned the name Lamshear, which appears in Gerrans in 1771. By 1861 Lampshire was more common than Lampier. Although I have no idea what it could mean!
cymru says:
if confused with English ‘shire’ (OE ‘scir’), or French ‘scire’ (=’wax’), lamp wax or lamp oil, or a rushlight. But probably had nothing to do with it, when it was first a surname.
John Gillingham says:
Edyvean or Udyvean is a patronymic surname meaning (son of) Eudy junior, literally Little Eudy in Cornish.
I am a Lampshire!!
Stephen Chiverton says:
I would be interested to discover if my surname is originally Cornish. CHIVERTON. Obviously there is a fair amount of land east of Redruth which bears that name but according to an Uncle [no longer with us I’m afraid] it was previously spelled Chywerton at one point and I have seen an awful lot of Chy-Wer-Tha named houses etc.
In fact, there are at least four, possibly five, different places in Cornwall with this placename (which means house on pastureland) at St Buryan/Sancreed, Lelant, Perranuthnoe and Perranzabuloe, which is the one east of Redruth you refer to. All the others were further west and they all tended to be spelt Chywarton in the 14th century. So the surname Chiverton could have come from any of these places and its origins could well be further west. In 1524 we find a Richard Chywarton living at Camborne and a Thomas Chywarton at Paul.
Dominic O'Ceallaigh says:
Have you any idea about the derivation of the surname Basher (My paternal ancestors”)? It seems to be almost solely (?) present in the Lizard at least back until the 16th century (spelled Bassher) and later moved up (as work became available in the mines). “Basher’s Harbour” at Rinsey Head also had a Basher’s cottage nearby.
Sorry, Dominic, but I’m not able to add much to your research. The name doesn’t appear in the early 16th century subsidies and I can find no example earlier than yours. In the marriage registers from 1730 to 1780 there are just three examples of the name (2 spelt Bashar for what it’s worth) but all in Grade, which reinforces your view that the origin of the name was on the Lizard. As for the meaning, the surname dictionaries make no suggestion. The -er suffix can sometimes mean an occupational name, or perhaps a nickname. Or perhaps, given its location, it’s from a Cornish word. But what word I haven’t a clue!
Thanks for checking this. There is a tenuous family tradition that the name came from a shipwrecked Breton or French sailor which might be consistent with it being so localized on the Lizard. If that is true there might be some connection to the old French word Bosch (now spelled Bois) meaning wood. (I found an old document where the name is spelled alternatively Basher and Boscher) Seemingly Boscher meant something like woodsman or lumberjack in old French. I didn’t want to complicate the original query with my random speculations but as it is a name at least associated with Cornwall for some centuries now you may find this of some interest.
Very good to discover all your work on Cornish surnames!
Vanessa Jenkin says:
My surname is Jenkin. Which I believe is a Cornish name. My grandad and all his family were born in illogen.
hyrethek says:
Fascinating article, my maiden name was Bodilly, and yes I did once go out to the village to see what it was like. The usual narrow Cornish lane eventually got us to Bodilly, one manor house, 16th century, a farmhouse and a small cottage. Plus one farmer, who delightedly entered into the favourite Cornish pastime of working out who I was related to. Having established that es he thought he did know my father, but definately knew his younger brother.
Stephen Chellew says:
Interesting article. My great grandparents were Cornish. Have heard that the Chellew surname has strong cornish roots. Is it true?
Chellew is most definitely a surname with Cornish roots. In 1881 it was 73 times more likely to be found in Cornwall than elsewhere. Originating in the placename Chellew in Ludgvan (which may mean either house of colour – chy+lew or Lew’s house), in the 17th century it was still only found in and around Ludgvan parish. By the 19th century the name had spread but in Cornwall only as far as parishes to the west in West Penwith..
Sandra Reed-Jennings says:
Eustice was my maiden name and my Fathers family from Crowlas, while doing my family history there are numerous variations many without the ‘E’, Ustice etc….In my early years nobody knew how to spell it and even sometimes pronounce it My son-in-laws Gundry family from Portsmouth I have found a few of these in Ludgvan. It is a fascinating subject. Thank you.
Jeremy Sampson says:
Maybe late but we have in west Normandy (Cotentin peninsula) a common family name given by our Viking ancestor: Eustace.
Some may have cross the channel with William the conqueror?
Christopher Cocking says:
My surname is Cocking, I’m 55 Years old and my family has been based in the north east of England since at least the mid-1700s. I have traced it back to that period directly from father to son so far.
As a child I was taken to Mevagissey, and while walking around I received the most massive, and only, belt of deja vu that I have ever experienced. So powerful that I still picture it over 40 years later.
It may be that my family migrated north to follow the coal when tin mining declined in Cornwall, though as yet I have no evidence of this.
I have always felt ‘stateless’, as though something is missing, though by birth nail my colours firmly to the English mast.
Who knows? Maybe I’ll find a bit of Cornwall running through me someday!
Cocking was more likely to be found in Cornwall in 1881 than anywhere else. Although there was a secondary concentration in south Yorkshire and Lincolnshire, which would be a bit nearer the north east. You’ve probably seen the website at http://gbnames.publicprofiler.org/Map.aspx?name=COCKING&year=1881&altyear=1998&country=GB&type=name
Fascinating post – and so many interesting comments!
Jennifer Kellow Ward says:
Kellow on my father’s side, Trenhaile on my mother’s and Tregunna on cousin’s side. I know there is a West Kellow near Polruan but I think the family were from Pensilva area. Trenhailes were from King Harry Ferry/Feock area but unsure of that. Tregunnas from Grampound are but unsure again. Any ideas please?
Sorry for the delay in replying – moving home! Yes, Kellow is from a placename meaning grove or groves or a small wood, There are places called Kellow near Looe, but also further west at Kea and Cornelly, The placename also gave rise to Kelly, which could also become Gelly, as in Angelly. So it’s possible the surname originated in lots of different places. This seems to be borne out by its early distribution. In the 1520s Kellows were found in the west (Wendron, Helston, Illogan), mid-Cornwall (Luxulyan, Lanhydrock, Bodmin), in north Cornwall at St Teath, and in the south east at St Neot, St Cleer, Warleggan, Lanteglos by Fowey and Lansallos. By 1861 the name was widespread but with a concentration in St Teath.
Trenhayle is a placename in St Erth (farm on the estuary), although it could have been confused with, or fallen together with Trenhale (meaning farm on the moor) at Newlyn East. In 1523 we find a John Trenhale at Lelant and a James Trenhaylle at Truro, This name never ramified and in 1861 there were only four families called Trenhail or Trenhaile in the Census, 3 at Feock and 1 at Kenwyn, They look to have been descended from James at Truro and my bet is that he had gone to Truro from St Erth, given the spelling in 1523.
Tregunna comes from the placename Tregonna or Tregenna (farm on the downs, originally spelt something like Tregonyowe). This placename is found in several places (Blisland, St Ewe, St Breock, Breage). At least three of these seem to have given rise to the surname by the early 16th century, when it was quite common, in the west at Phillack, St Ives, Ludgvan and Breage, on the Lizard at Mawgan in Meneage and St Keverne, in mid-Cornwall at Gorran and St Ewe, plus another cluster at Mawgan in Pydar, St Columb Major and Little Petherick. By 1861 there were very few Tregonnas or Tregennas and the surname had given way to Tregunna. However, by this time it was concentrated entirely on the Roseland peninsula, with a particular focus on Veryan. Perhaps the western Tregenna name was not hereditary as early as the 1520s. But your ancestor in Grampound had almost certainly come from the Roseland.
Stuart Avery says:
I have always assumed Kellow derived from Cullow, and Cull/Culla. These spellings are common in Tintagel from the late 15th century. Trenhalil is a farmstead-hamlet there too.
Interesting. I hadn’t come across the name Cullow before but I see it was found in two widely seperated areas in the early 1500s – Tintagel/Trevalga and south east Cornwall between St Germans and Rame. These were both on the edges of districts with the surname Kelliow or Kellow at that time so there could be a connection. However, I’d think the relationship was the other way around if there was, Cullow or Collow being a variant of Kellow as there were many more of the latter. On the other hand it could well have an entirely different origin.
VandalBasher says:
My grandfather was from Cornwall. How does the Basher surname fit into the info from this article?
See my reply to Dominic O’Ceallaigh above – the origin of Basher is a bit of a mystery at present.
Beshiri, Beshere, Bashi, are Albanian family names.
bwdeacon, just one very important question: do you really tell the purely Cornish surnames and Manx surnames apart ?
Interesting. I haven’t seen any examples of Albanian migration to Cornwall in the C16th century but nothing’s impossible. Definitely looks like an imported name.
As for the Cornish/Manx distinction have you any examples in mind?
And also do you distinguish the Welsh surnames so well in order to correctly define Cornish ones ?
I’m not sure what you mean by ‘distinguish’ here. Patronymics such as Williams, Thomas etc would have arisen independently in both Wales and Cornwall. Locatives will be peculiar to each country, nicknames and occupational names will usually be different. The only way to know whether a particular family called Williams or Thomas, or Prowse come to that, had Welsh or Cornish (or English) origins would be through detailed genealogical research.
Villa Carpe Diem (@villacarpediem) says:
Intrigued by your post as I worked with Derek Basher in Cornwall in the late 1970’s.
Dominic Ó Ceallaigh (Basher) says:
If any other Bashers see this we now have a small Facebook group called “Basher family of Cornwall”. Anyone with, or descended from, that name and with definite Cornish roots is welcome to join.
Hi my fiancee’s name in Trembath, and we have traced it to Madron ,just outside PZ , meaning ( we believe?) Farmstad by the pool / pond
Yes, Trembath is a farm in Madron. But it was spelt Trenbagh before the 16th century and is usually read as meaning farmstead of the nook or corner (Tre an bagh), possibly relating to its position at the edge of the parish.
David Downing says:
I’m wondering if there might be any connection between the Cornish hamlet Downinney and my surname, Downing. It would be easy to transform one into the other – even unintentionally via unclear handwriting. I am in the U.S., by the way. My great-grandfather Richard Downing and 4 brothers left Cornwall for North America in the early 20th century. They came from a tiny little place called Cutmere, in St. German’s parish.
Wendy Ivey Bellany nee Thomas says:
My grandfather’s name was Wearne Ivey.He was born in St.Erth Parish in the 1860’s but arrived in Swansea at the age of nine.His family is traceable in Cornwall until at least as early as Elizabethan times. He was my maternal grandfather,the other three grandparents were Welsh.

antonshort says:
i think I might be related to you distantly, Wendy Ivey – My mother’s maiden name is Ivey and i know from our family in Swansea that our family came from Cornwall; possibly relating to the Mother Ivey’s Bay legend? Bernard, can you shed any light on the surname Ivey?
Carrie Burton
Hi Carrie, There’s a brief entry on Ivey in the book – page 83. I suggest it may be a version of Eva.
Ms Wendy Frew says:
Bernard, you’ve replied to so many people about their surnames I hesitate to add mine but here goes: I’m researching the name Leane, sometimes spelt Lean but when the family emigrated to Australia the ‘e’ was still there. I can trace the family to Sheviock, Looe and Quethiock as far back as the 1600s. Family oral history claims the Leanes were Huguenots, the name originally something like D’Leane or Delaenus but I haven’t been able to find any evidence for that. Various stories also link them to the Treloys in the north west and the Trelawnys of Menheniot. Leane doesn’t seem to be a common name these days in Cornwall but I am hoping you know something about it.
Thanks, Wendy, Australia
Hi Wendy. I’m afraid the origins may be a little more mundane. The name is definitely NOT a Huguenot name as it was well established by the 1520s, a century and a half before the Huguenot migration. The obvious origin of the surname Lean is as a nickname for a thin or lean person. Indeed, we find this is the explanation given in the surname dictionaries, which state that the name is particularly common in Devon. In fact it was equally common in Cornwall. In 1881 you’d have been 44 times more likely to find someone called Lean here than elsewhere in the UK.
In Cornwall there may also be a different origin for the name. Pawley White suggested the surname originated in the placename Lean, which was originally lyn or leyn, and meant a stitch of land. It appears in several field names but also at hamlets in Liskeard and St Martin in Meneage parishes. Sure enough, in the earliest records (1520s) we find a Robert Lene at St Martin and a John Lene at Liskeard. The name was also spelt Leyne (which could have led to confusion with Lane), Len and Lenne. At Tregony William Lene’s surname was spelt Lene, Lenne and Len in three differing records.
In the early sixteenth century Leans were found mainly in south east Cornwall, with a couple around Launceston and a handful in mid-Cornwall at Probus and St Issey. By the 1640s, the name had ramified and become fairly common. There were 72 examples, usually spelt Leane or Lene, in the 1642 Protestation returns. These were spread over mid and east Cornwall, but there was a concentration around Liskeard, suggesting that at least some Lean families had their origin in the placename there rather than as a general nickname. Meanwhile, the mid-Cornwall Leans were focused on Lanlivery while those in the far west on the Lizard had largely vanished. As surnames were more prone to change in the Cornish-speaking west into the 1500s, this may explain the disappearance of the family name in that area.
Susanne Reidy says:
Hi Wendy ..another Australian here. I hope when researching you have accessed Australian War Memorial records as Leanes from WA played a huge role in WW1…also written up extensively in Bean’s history of WW1

Michele Smith says:
Hi Bernard, I have an ancestor (early 17th century) whose byname surname was ‘Williams als Cornish’. I have been reading about bynames (and this is how I found your informative blog – thank you for your efforts, here) and understand the various possible reasons people had bynames. Two things: I have heard my family has Norman ancestry, and have read the name Cornish is Norman, but the byname (with ‘Williams’, it being Welsh) stumps me. Both names’ commonality is challenging – Williams being common and ‘Cornish’ being the name of our ethnicity. Any light you may shed on this would be appreciated. Thank you, Michele USA
Aliases were common in the 16th/17th centuries and your ancestor is a good example. Williams is not especially Welsh, but is common in Wales because of late hereditary surname formation. For the same reason, it’s almost as common in Cornwall and arose seperately at the same time. A patronymic based on the first name William actually makes it the Norman bit! Cornish is an ethnic or regional name, presumably originally applied to someone from Cornwall. As such we’d be more likely to find it outside Cornwall. That was indeed the case in 1881 when it was twice as frequent in Devon than Cornwall. Within Cornwall it was more likely to be found in the east, which makes sense. However, there were quite a few in the west, notably at Gwennap, which makes me wonder whether at some point it was a nickname for someone who had particularly ‘Cornish’ characteristics, or was a Cornish-speaker when those around were switching to English.
Bernard, Thank you so much. You have me thinking and I’m going to investigate further. I am grateful! Michele
Bu the way, you may be interested in my list of ’20 oldest Cornish surnames’. It is by no means easy to get onto this list, as reasonable continuity within Cornwall to the present needs to be established.So far, no-one new has managed ot get onto the original list.

Hunkin/Hunking or similar was recorded in Cornwall in the 1200s. I’m away from home for a while, or I could give you a little more info….
Sally Blake says:
My mother’s family are Hunkins and come from Mevagissey we have a family tree dating back to the 1460s
Susan Balsom says:
Good afternoon.
My husband’s grandmother was a Hunkin from Lostwithiel/Megavissey and we are seeking the family history. Any information you might be able to provide would be most helpful.
Very many thanks.
Hi Susan, Hunkin is listed in my book – page 85.
adventurousancestors says:
Grose is a common surname in Cornwall in the 1700s. Is it likely a ‘Cornish surname’ in some cases? Or more likely derived from Gross, Grosse, Le Gros etc.
Cornish surname dictionaries assert that the Cornish Grose has no connection with the nickname Gros (for a big man). But little evidence is offered. The explanation usually given is a derivation from a placename Crows, which would be An grows or An grouse after the definite article, as it’s feminine. The earliest 16th century distribution of the name is in three districts. The most westerly is around Newlyn East and St Columb, the second is to the west and north of Bodmin Moor, from Braddock to St Teath, and the third is along the Tamar, from Warbstow and Launceston in the north to Antony in the south. Some at least of these may come from a now lost eastern placename with the element crous. This distribution seems to lend itself to multiple origins, but these could be nicknames, or they could be placenames.

Eileen Maldonado says:
I was told the last name Triste was Cornish, is it true?
Sorry if it disappoints you, Eileen, but the answer is no. The name is usually spelt Trist in Cornwall but doesn’t seem to appear until 1774 at Rame. By 1861 there were still only four Trist families in the Census, all on the margins of Cornwall, at Rame, Launceston and Veryan, which suggests to me they had arrived from elsewhere.
Of course I wasted money on a surname sight that insisted the name Triste was Cornish. Thanks so much for the information. I am now checking on French or Spanish roots!
Alycia Clatworthy says:
1748 is the earliest I have found the Trist name In Cornwall. Though the Veryan Trists and the Rame Trists are, at least in my research, completely separate. My family is from the Rame Trists, who all seemed to be fisherman, or Royal Navy seamen.
Michael Neale Champion says:
Hi Bernard. Hope your well Mate. So Champion as I have been told is a name from North Cornwall. I have seen it called a Celtic/Cornish name on a few websites. Love to have your input on it…… Thanks
Hi Mike. Champion could be classified as a Cornish name as you’d have been 10 times more likely to meet someone with the name in 19th century Cornwall than in other places in the UK. I’m not sure why it was relatively more common in Cornwall though, as it’s supposed to derive from someone who acted as a champion for others.The name is known in various places in southern England in the C12/13th centuries and the first example I’ve found in Cornwall was James Chaumpeon, a servant of the Rector of Creed in mid-Cornwall in 1448. It’s not particularly associated with north Cornwall. By the 1520s it was found in various places scatrtered across Cornwall from PZ to Warbstow, but was most common at Madron and around Crantock and Newlyn East. By the 19th centuiry there’s a marked concentration south of Camborne, especially at Breage.
Amanda Odgers says:
There are a lot of folk in Cornwall with the surname Odgers. Not sure of its origins though.
The surname dictionaries tell us Odgers is derived from the Old English personal name Edgar. I find this difficult to believe given its geography though. It was definitely most common in the 19th century in Cornwall, but also in Denbigh in north Wales, which seems strange for an Old English name. The first examples of Odger, spelt Ogger,Oger or Oyger in Cornwall, appear in the mid-16th century and it becomes Odgers, with the -s, during the 1700s. I wonder whether there’s a connection with Rogers, which was frequent in the same areas and also gave rise to the name Hodge.
This is fascinating 🙂 I’d love to hear your thoughts about my name, Hunkin, before it arrived in Mevagissey?
In 1544 there was only one person with that name in the tax returns – John Hunkyn at North Hill. By 1641, when the name is found in Mevagissey, it’s heavily concentrated in the far south east of Cornwall around Saltash. But by the middle of the 18th century the Mavagissey branch has become the most numerous.
My husbands family says they are Cornish through and through and their last name is Paull.
Yes, in 1881 Paull was 31 times more likely to have been encountered in Cornwall than elsewhere in Britain, though it was also relatively more frequent in Somerset and Dorset.
Cathy Olds says:
Hi Bernard, my Olds ancestors left St Just just before the end of the 19th century, moving to Durham to work in the mines there, before eventually my grandfather and his brother moved to the Hunter Valley in NSW in the 1920s to work in the mines (we would still have relatives upcountry as there were three other siblings who stayed. I would think we’d also have relatives still in Penzance although it doesn’t appear that the family kept in touch to my knowledge, apart from one old family photo Dad had of a relative in Mousehole).
In his book A Glossary of Cornish Surnames on p.103, Bannister records the name as being of Cornish origin: “Olds, n.f,’\ = als, a cliff” (https://archive.org/stream/glossaryofcornis00bann/glossaryofcornis00bann_djvu.txt). Public Profiler records the name as being Cornish/Celtic, but most anglocentric sources simply record it as ‘English’ coming from the word ‘old’. Americans in particular tend to interchange Old/Olde/Olds without any differentiation between the names.
Do you have any further information on the name and its prevalence or otherwise in the St Just/Penzance region, and its origins?
I wouldn’t put too much credence in the derivations given in Bannister, which like those in Pawley White’s book on surnames tend to look for any similarities with Cornish words and stop there. It’s more likely that Old/Olds derives originally from the English ‘old’, in the sense of ‘senior’ rather than aged. Moreover, it’s unlikely to have a Cornish language derivation, as the first examples in Cornwall were found in the English-speaking east, In the far north east Robert Olda and Thomas Yolda (also spelt Old) were found in 1525 at Launcells and North Tamerton. And in 1549 a Richard Olde and family owned land at St Columb Minor in mid-Corrnwall. But the name ramified rapidly in Cornwalland became a lot more common here than in England. It was still mainly spelt Old in the 1700s with a scattering of Olds and Ould. By the 19th century half the spellings were Old, a quarter Olds, and a quarter Ould. It was widely spread – the association with St Just and Sancreed doesn’t appear until the mid-1800s, presumably having drawn migrants to the mines there from further east from the 18th century onwards. But it was equally common in the Constantine district and mid-Cornwall at Padstow.

Kathleen Ellery Hubbell says:
My Cornish surnames are Ellery from Mawgan-in-Pydar and Jacka from Perranzabuloe. Do you have any information about these surnames?
Ellery comes from the name Hillary, a saint’s name. It was found in the 16th century around the Camel estuary and Bodmin Moor in east Cornwall and was later most common in the Newquay area.
Jacka was a pet form of John, the additional -a being quite common in Cornwall (cf Rodda, Tomma, Mata) and particularly in the Cornish-speaking areas. It was confined to Cornwall west of Perranporth and Truro in the early 16th century which bears out its link with the language.
Hi Bernard, what a great site. I know you must be fed up with all the surname questions by now, but what about Gilbert? I have heard it is also Gilbart or even Jelbert. I have managed to trace my ancestors back to Phillack near Hayle continuously until the 1650’s. There are definitely other Gilberts in the surrounding villages before that but not my line. Any ideas where they could have come from and why they would have ended up in Phillack for over 400 years? Thanks for your time.
Also, to add to the mystery, the Gilbert that I cannot find his birthplace married a ‘Verchell’ in Pjillack. I cannot find that name anywhere. I have found one or two Verchills in Jacobstow ( a long way away), and suspect it might be linked to Berchell, or Berchill or Burchell/Burchill. Any clues to that?

My Cornish relatives were the Watts family as far back as 1650 in Hayle and western Cornwall, the Cock/Cox/Cocks family of Penzance, and Simmons/Symons/Simmonds also of western Cornwall. I’ve always taken Watts to be ultimately Scottish, but with no evidence to date specific to my family. Is there a Cornish Watts? And are there known derivations for Cock and Simmons?
Both Watt (later Watts) and Simmons are patronymics. Watt was a short form of Walter, Simmon being more obvious. Cock was a nickname and seems to have been a generic term for youth in the medieval period, also added to other names (e.g. Hancock, Sincock). All three were found widely across Cornwall in the early 16th century. Watt was more favoured in the east, while Watty was the preferred form in the Cornish-speaking west. By 1861 the Wattys had declined and converged with the Watts.
Mel Smith says:
Interesting site – thank you!
I am descended from Cocks in Truro, but having got back as far as a William b.c.1750-65ish, it starts getting almost impossible to guess which William Cock he is, as there is none recorded as baptised in Truro, as all of his children were. (His wife was born in Egloshayle 1767, and the nearest William Cock was born in 1752 in St Minver, but I haven’t found any evidence to connect them so might have to call a halt there for now.)
Going back further just to find the earliest Cock records I could find on OPC in the Truro area just out of interest, there are some children born 1602-7, giving father’s name as Humphredi, but further back no record of a Humphrey type name.
I did come across the Oxford Dictionary of Family Names in England and Ireland (2016) entry for Cock (via Google Books) which says that there are only 575 Cocks left in Britain.
Julie Francis says:
What an amazing site! I’ve recently discovered many of my Cornish ancestors on my Mother’s Paternal Grandmother’s side. I was born in Swansea South Wales but always had a feeling of affinity and peace whenever I went to Cornwall. My ancestors migrated during the height of the copper trade. Surnames that are most popular in my family are Seymour, Hoskin, Hocking, Lathon which became Busvargus due to the inheritance of a village and right back to 1400 with my 13th GGF Simon Sparrnon. Marriages have included Godolphin, Besanco, and Tressulyan. Besanco sounds Spanish to me so I was wondering if it had anything to do with The Armada?
Sorry but the Spanish Armada link is a stubborn myth but one with no basis in fact as the name Bosanko is found in Cornwall in the 1540s, a generation before the Armada! It’s from a Cornish placename bos+anko (house of death) or possibly bos+cos (house in the wood). There was a John Bossancow living in Truro in 1543 which looks like the first, and a Willam Bossancott in Mousehole, which seems more like the second. (These could have two different derivations of course). By 1608 Bosancoes are found in Wendron as well as Truro and the name then ramified in Crowan and Wendron, although also spreading into east Cornwall. The mystery is that no actual placename of Bosanko has been found.
Thank You so much for your reply. Your knowledge astounds me! It has however encouraged me to do more research. My Besanco is Anne b,abt 1760 and married in 1784 in Illogan to James Hoskin. They are my 5th GGP. I am still trying to find her birth certificate. I have verified the marriage. Thanks once again!
Martha Rowe Dolly says:
Hello, I’m not looking for any specific information but was interested to see that my maiden name, Rowe, is #4 on the list of common Cornish names. I know my father’s family came from Cornwall though not precisely when. I have a 1996 letter to my father (Willis Rowe) signed “George (cousin) from Cornwall” but don’t know if the cousin’s surname was also Rowe. My grandfather was George Oscar Rowe, born sometime in the 1880s; I’m not sure if he was born in Cornwall or the US.
What I also find interesting on your blog are the articles about Methodism in Cornwall. Though now a Methodist myself, I never knew of any family connection to Methodism.
While I’m not asking for any particular information, any thoughts relating to my father’s family or to the “Methodist connection” would be appreciated.
Martha (Maryland, USA)
My surname is Kopylow .
Is it Cornish ?
Sorry Dan but no.
Lance Behenna says:
My surname is Behenna.I have seen it spelt with an ” h” on the end but I believe it is of Cornish origin. Am I correct?
It is indeed. It turns up in the early 16th century as Behennow. There’s no consensus as
to the meaning but the -ow ending suggests a patronymic like Clemow, Sandow. Maybe son of Bennet, which was a not uncommon first name in Cornwall at the time?
Thinking further about this, the suggestion it was a patronymic from Benet can’t be right, as that gave Benetto. So it was either an unidentified first name or a name from a placename with the meaning obscure. Given that all the early examples are found fairly close together on the Roseland peninsula I’d suggest it was from a placename in that area.
Ellen Flanagan says:
My grandmother’s maiden name was Varcoe supposedly an old Cornish name. Family lived in and around Roche and St. Dennis. Is
Varcoe a common Cornish name? Thank you
Varcoe (and its spelling variant Vercoe) is most certainly Cornish. It was found in St Ewe and St Dennis as early as the 1520s and has remained heavily concentrated in mid-Cornwall and the clay country ever since. It’s a Cornish language patronymic, meaning son of Mark (Markow was also a surname in the 16th century). For some reason the m became permanently lenited to v (which was not uncommon – a similar process occurred for bean/vean in placenames). As for ‘common’, it depends on how you define it. It’s fairly common in mid-Cornwall but not very common elsewhere. In 1861 there were 144 families in Cornwall headed by a Varcoe/Vercoe. Compare that with the over 1,600 Williamses (the most common surname) or even the 400 or so Hicks.
Ravyn Camilla Guiliani says:
I have these names in my Family Tree: Trewax, Pengwern, Wallys and something that sounds like “amps-snee” (spelling unsure) all claim to be Cornish. what do you think?
peter sinclair says:
My mothe’s maiden name is Verrent. (Verran, Verrant). The line originally came from Bodmin Moor. It was supposed to be French, but don’t see any evidence for that. Then again, perhaps it’s related to the original Cornish meaning of Veryan, as in Veryan Bay.
So suspect it comes from a Cornish word. Any ideas?
An interesting one (aren’t they all). Over the centuries Verran and Verrant spellings have interchanged confusingly and erratically. From the 16th to 19th centuries they were around half and half. However, by the 1861 census almost all spellings had become Verran or variants without a while the two households of Verrants were found in the far west. But that distribution is a very misleading guide to earlier ones. In fact, in the 1540s there were 13 men in the subsidy lists called Verant or Verent and six named Varyn, Veryn, Varryan, Varhen or Varion. ALL of the Verrants were found in east Cornwall, five in a north-south line from Lansallos to St Neot with an outlier at Treneglos to the north. ALL the Varyns etc were in mid and west Cornwall, Helston, Crowan and Redruth in the west and St Issey and St Stephen in Brannel in mid Cornwall. That distribution suggests to me that maybe there were two separate original names. The ones in the west could be from the Cornish given name Meryon or Meryn (permanently lenited to Very(o)n). It’s unlikely to be from the parish of Veryan as that was known as Severian into the C16th and anyway the distribution doesn’t immediately suggest an epicentre on the Roseland. As for Verrant, I have no idea! The usual surname dictionaries offer no help. More early and medieval examples are needed to shed more light.
Scott B says:
In my family tree my 10th great grandfather’s name was Verrant, but his father’s surname was documented as Verante. Might this be the ‘French’ link be it Breton or Norman?
I think I have a possible answer to the Verrant riddle, assuming this was originally a different name from Verran. There was a Middle English name – Ferrant – in the 12th/13th centuries which is supposed to have given rise to surnames such as Farrant and Farrand. In the Devonian (and east Cornish) dialect the sound often became . (For example the name Facy became Vacy.) The early geography of Verrant would fit this theory, suggesting it was a local variant of Farrant/Farrand etc.
Binnie Kurtzner says:
Can you tell me about Rescorla? That is the name of an 18th century ancestor of mine. My middle name is Binnie (spelled Binney on old records) and my maiden name is Endean. My great grandparents Phillips were from Chacewater near Truro. Can you tell me about these names?
Rescorla and Endean are names from the Cornish language. Rescorla is from the placename Rescorla. This is found in two places, at St Austell and neighbouring St Ewe in mid-Cornwall. They may however originally be different names as the St Ewe Rescorla was spelt Roscorlan in the 14th century, while the St Austell Rescorla was Roscorle. The family name Roscorlan appears at St Ewe as early as 1385 but it didn’t spread far beyond those two parishes 9within Cornwall at least). Endean means ‘the man’ (maybe a nickname equivalent to the English family name Man(n)). The name Endean emerged quite late – during the 16th century – as a surname in mid-Cornwall and was found in the 1800s in the district between Truro and St Austell.
Meanwhile Binney is probably a spelling variant of Benny, which was a short from of Benedict. There were only two Bynnys in the early 16th century lists (in St Keverne and St Just in Roseland) but several Bennys in the same areas. Phillips is a patronymic from the saint’s name Philip, popular in medieval times.
From the research my brother and I did starting in the year 2000, Roscorla, Rescorla, Rescorle and Rescorl are Cornish surnames born out of locality. As far as we can tell, in the old Cornish language it means ‘enclosure (Korlann) by the ford (Res)’. We can trace the Rescorle/Rescorl family back to the mid 1750s but cannot go further due to a missing link. We have not found any family link between those with the Res prefix and the Ros prefix and indeed no link with those ending in ‘a’. There is a small Hamlet in Brittany called Rescorles but its origins and the meaning of the name are open to challenge. Our research found thriving Rescorla/Rescorle families in America, Canada and Australia with families emigrating in the late 1880s through to the 1920s.
There were already people called Rescorla and similar living in Kenwyn, Veryan, Gerrans and St Austell in the early 1500s, as well as St Ewe, so the name must have been hereditary fairly early.
K Dusting says:
Hi, my surname is Dusting. I have traced it back to early 1700s in Cornwall around St Michael’s Mount (they were fishermen for many generations). It may have originally been spelt as Dustan or Dunstone. Do you have any information as regarding this surname? Thanks.
The etymologists tell us Dunstone is supposed to have come from either the place called Dunstone on the south-east edge of Dartmoor in Devon, or from the given name Dunstan. If the former, then they migrated very early to Cornwall, as we find people called Dunstan/Donston in St Mawgan and St Eval in mid-Cornwall as early as 1480. In the 1520s the name is still clustered in that part of Pydar hundred, which makes me think it originated there and be from Dunstan not Devon. John Dunstan at St Mawgan in 1524 is spelt Duston in 1543 which could give rise to Dusting later.
On the other hand Reaney suggests that Dusting has a separate origin in the name Thurstan. Not that there is anyone with the surname Thurstan (or Dustan or anything close) in Cornwall in 1641.
kerry mcmurray says:
My name is kerry, I live in Australia and desperatly traking my gr gr grandfather and where he is from. His name is John Henry Treloyn and states his father is william treloyn and his mother is ann reid. he married in scotland then left in the 1860s to come here. My feeling is he has changed his name i know he has to be cornish it has been spelt treloyne on some certs and treloyn on others he stated on some certificates he from cornwall then he states on others he from scotland only treloyns i can find is in australia and we are all related and go back to john henry treloyn, any help on variations to this name would be greatly appreciated
Sorry, Kerry but there’s no surname in the 1861 Cornish census resembling Treloyn. I wonder if it might have originally been Tregloyn, as there are people in both 1861 and in the 18th century called Tregloyne, Tregloyn, Tregloin and similar.
Diane Penberthy says:
I have an ancestor Mary Roberts who married John Treglohan in 1719 at St. Antony Cornwall. His family were from Constantine. They changed name to Tregloan. Diane Penberthy nee Roberts
I have a book called Cornish Family Names.On my mother’s side there’s Fidock and it’s variant include fiddick The name actually has a celtic meaning Budhek= Victorious in the same way as Biddick which is Budek same meaning. If there’s any fidock’s,fiddock’s fiddick’s out there we are all related to one another. The name Fidock did come from Newlyn East near Newquay. My family came to South Australia in 1839. John Fidock and his wife Mary Catherine Fidock nee Casey.
Sharron Hough nee Fidock says:
Hello Louis, my Dad was William Fidock born at Marazion Cornwall. I can remember in the late 1960s a relative from Australia visiting us when we lived at Camborne but I was too young to remember who they were.
Louis Wills says:
Greetings from DownUnder cousin Sharron by the way l can trace another two surnames that are of Trenerry and Arthur my great great great father was a John Wills from Cornwall came to settle in Australia after 1830s.
What was your relative’s full name that came to visit you “cobba” cornish for mate l know 😉”oggie oggie coi coi coi” “dhys da cobba” l been looking up my mother’s side Fidock family tree for a while thinking that it was either German or Scottish because the name isnt a common one and were alot of german settlers in South Australia.
By the way there is also a Tredinnick in my family also so my family on both sides have roots in Cornwall so that being said l’m Cornish- Australian😉I have to try a proper cornish pasty and what is Scrumpy?
Darren Polglaise says:
Hi Are you able to provide origin of surname polglaise or polglase
Yes, it’s from the placename Polglaze, originally spelt Polglas, which means blue/green/grey pool or stream. So someone living at Polglas. But which one as there were at least 11 examples of this placename in late medieval times – at Altarnun, Creed, Crowan, Cuby, Fowey, Mylor, Philleigh, St Austell, St Erme, St Mabyn and St Veep?
James Alfred Polglaze says:
I am an American Polglaze from Immigrant ancestors who came here in the mid 1800’s. I have been to Cornwall to see the homeland of the patriarchical family, and noted many Polglaze scattered both east and west and otherwise. It would seem to me that if this is a place defined name, that there might be many lines of Polglaze maybe slightly related back long ago, but also long ago they might not be traceable to one ancestor. Is this a likely scenario, or are most of us somehow likely to have shared genetics? Ancestry dna shows a large percentage of SW English, Irish, Welsh in half my heritage. the other half is largely SW eorope, where my mothers ancestors came from a family traceable back to the late 1400’s at least in Belgium.
You’re right. As there are at least 12 places in Cornwall called Polglase or Polglaze, it’s likely the family name had multiple origins. There are quite a few Polglases listed in the early 16th century subsidy rolls, so that also suggests several of the places had given rise to unrelated lines.
Trish Maastricht nee Huthnance says:
My ancestors and my maiden name is Huthnance. I have records for Cornwall going back to the 1600’s in Breage, Truro, Redruth areas. I have heard rumour that there are church records showing the original person was a viking with the name Huth in the 700’s but I’m dubious about that as i havent seen any records myself. I live in Australia. Any insight greatly appreciated
The rumours about Huth the Viking are just that – rumours – as hereditary family names in west Cornwall date from the 1400s or 1500s. Your name is a locative one, from the place Huthnance in Breage. This was spelt Huthenans in the 15th century and there was a Thomas Huthnans living in Breage parish, undoubtedly at Huthnans, in 1524. He’s probably your distant ancestor.
Incidentally the name means peaceful or pleasant valley.
Darryl Toy says:
My surname is Toy and I can take my direct line back to the Lizard pre 1613. Also mentioned is a Robert Toy in Helston 1549 answering the Muster roll. From what I can determine most Toys at the time of the census were Cornish those that weren’t tended to be in and around Birmingham which may suggest a mining back ground as most of my line we’re tin or copper miners.
Darryl Toy
Will Toy says:
I’ve got a family bible which was started by a Richard Toy of Wendron, born 1839. Around 1900 the family moved to Troon in Camborne so I got the mining idea too. Supposedly my grandad always said something about how someone in the family left the E off the end of the name, from what I gathered its an Irish name.
Kathleen Washburn Interess says:
My maternal granddad was Wm. John Toy, from Camborne. I was informed years ago that the E was indeed dropped from the Toy name, not sure when, and it was originally Breton/French. Any thoughts on this?
The -e doesn’t mean it was French. It was the normal English spelling to denote a preceding long vowel in the 16th century but tends to get dropped in the 17th. The name Toy/e doesn’t turn up in Cornwall until the end of the 1500s in the Constantine/Wendron area but then expands quite rapidly over the following 200 years.
My Mother’s maiden name was Toy. Her father Wm. John Toy, was originally from Camborne,Poole. Later in St. Austell area. His father was Robert Toy and served with Queen Victoria’s forces in India. Are we related?
Bob Taylor says:
My grandmother is from south / central Cornwall around the St Austell area, her maiden name was Whetter is that a Cornish name?
Yes, there were Whetters in St Austell (and also further east in Duloe) as early as the 1520s. By the nineteenth century you’d have been 70 times more likely to bump into someone called Whetter in Cornwall than you’d have been if you were anywhere else in the UK.
hey I wondered where some of those ‘strange’ names came from.
my recently found fathers side back to 1750 so far has family names in bodmin and lewwanick,
like collins, harris, harrison, and mullis.
any of those cornish? and if so, does that make me cornish?
Depends on how you define ‘being Cornish’. Names like Collins and Harris were certainly found from the earliest days of hereditary surnames in Cornwall in the 15th century.
Diana Tremellen says:
I would be interested to know about mt surname, it is Tremellen.
It’s from the place now called Tremelling in St Erth, in the 1500s spelt Tremelyn.
Hi…thank you for all your great work. Your site is a tremendous resource. Regarding Tremelling of St Erth…. in the family I am researching it is also written as Tremelyn, Tremelane and Tremellin
Cheryl V Hooper says:
My grandparent were Hoopers, from Calstock. I looked up the mean and found that Hooper meant “water sprite “ in ancient Cornish.
News to me. The alternative explanation for the family name is that its origin lay in the English occupational name meaning someone who made or fitted hoops, another name for a cooper.
gretta gribble says:
do you have any ideas about the name gribble? our family came from the redruth/camborne area. there are other spelling variations – an early one, i believe, was grybell.
Yes,the name ramified in the Camborne-Redruth area (in fact I have a great-grandparent called Gribble who lived in IIlogan). But its origins are a bit of a mystery. There’s nothing similar in the early 16th century, by which time bynames had become or were becoming hereditary in the west. The only Gribbles in 1641 were found to the west in Sancreed. Did those early Gribbles migrate east to the central mining district? Or was there a separate origin? the name was spelt Gribble and Gribbell in 1641and I haven’t come acoss any with the spelling Grybell. If you have a source for that do let me know.
A Gribble descendant says:
Hi Bernard, thanks for your information, very fascinating. Thanks Gretta for your question. My maternal grandfather was a ‘Gribble’, according to shipping records they came to Australia in the 1840’s pre-goldrush boom to Ballarat and we were told they were a prominent families in these areas including until WW1 in mining districts throughout Victoria, Australia. Particularly in Bendigo with the last Gribble in our family line working at a pyrite works there until his mid 40s when he left to join the fight with his his sons in WW1. All thankfully returned.
They are noted as being members of Cornish associations with huge family roots in Australia and celebrating Cornish traditions, recorded on numerous occasions in local papers. So their Cornish roots ran deep. They might have indeed moved over from west Cornwall to the tin mines and brought their mining skills in turn over to Australia, where they are listed as miners on many a record. What we are finding difficult is tracing the family in Cornwall with a high level of accuracy! A folk story in our family is that the grybell spelling is German/ Prussian in origin and meant ‘helmet’ and they migrated to Cornwall through the ports?
Sue Etherington says:
The Gribbles in the Feock/Mylor/Perranarworthal area came from Little Torrington in Devon and were almost certainly descended from those in Barnstaple in the 17th century. I have DNA matches with a couple of Gribbles in the Camborne area but the match be through another common ancestor.
Alan Henwood says:
My grandad was cornish and I have often wanted to Research our family name of Henwood is there a go to trust worthy site to go to
Depends on what your research questions are, Alan. A good starting point for the statistics of the 1881 Census can be found at http://www.britishsurnames.co.uk/
You could also try out http://named.publicprofiler.org/
And keep your eye out for my forthcoming books on The Surnames of Cornwall. Henwood is on my list.
Nick Growse says:
I am from an Essex/Suffolk family called Growse – the earliest trace was a John Growse knocking around in the 1430s. I have often wondered where the name is from, but now suspect it might be Cornish. Could I be rig
I mean, could I be right? (!) Any thoughts would be welcome.
I can see where you’re coming from, Nick. Crows is Cornish for Cross and becomes Grows after the definite aricle ‘an’. Unfortunately however, I can find no examples of the byname or surname Grows/e (or Crows/e) in Cornwall in the 16th or 17th centuries. And if you’ve found a Growse in East Anglia as early as the 1430s I’d be pretty confident the name originated there. (That early bynames had often still not become hereditary in mid and west Cornwall anyway.)
Many thanks for your quick and interesting reply. The reason why I suspected a Cornish origin is that I found mention of Growse among the tenants of the Arundel family in Carminow in the 14th century as well as the mention of a Gurlyn de Growse in the early 16th (also in Carminow). I noticed that in the later 16th century and afterwards there is no mention of Growse in the area but several people called Grose or Grosse who hadn’t been mentioned in earlier records. I am not at all sure of myself – I am just rummaging about on the internet – but if there were people called Growse in 14th century Carminow it would be the earliest mention anywhere … There is no trace of Growse in Suffolk before the 1430s. Did Cornish people ever sail down the coast? In the early 16th there was a Growse family in Bradwell on Sea, including one renting a tidal mill there …
Thanks, Nick. I was once attracted to the theory that perhaps Grose had come from Crows but hadn’t found the examples to prove it. But your find suggests there may be something to it. (Do you have a reference?) And yes, there would have coastal shipping movement, although more usually along the Channel coast as far as London.
Many thanks again for your reply, I am glad you find the subject interesting! It seems possible that the name Growse – a place-name given to people who lived near the old crosses such as the one at Carminow, became Grose or Grosse during the 16th century inconveniently just before parish records began! Maybe those who emigrated early enough, such as my own family, kept the original version of the name? As for references, luckily I copied the relevant bits off the site.

5. I don’t have the references but there was a Grose/Grosse family in the early 16th century on the Suffolk coast around Theberton/Kelsale, apparently with links to Cornwall, including a Laurence Grosse, son of John Grosse. Some years later in mid-16th century, just down the road, there is a parson of Fordley called Laurence Cruse, cited in a will, and a Rector of Middleton-cum-Fordley called Lawrence Growse, all probably the same? Did Lawrence, an educated man, end up deliberately using the archaic spelling of his name? He might be the missing link, proving the Grose/Grosse/Cross/Crows/Cruse/Growse connection!
Sorry to clutter up your site with all these references! I look forward to your comments.
Thanks, Nick. I’ll chase them up.
Incidentally, Lawrence Growse is named as rector of Middleton-cum-Fordley in 1530 in The Histories and Antiquities of the County of Suffolk Vol 2 by Alfred Suckling page 316 (it is online). And in a will as Laurence Cruse, parson of Fordley in an abstract of wills of the Payne family in 1548 (again on line if you need it). I think the mention of Laurence Grosse or Gros is only at the Suffolk records office.
Good luck and tell me if you find anything interesting or draw any conclusions.
Gerald Lewis says:
I would be interested to know if you have any information on the origins of the surname Bennetto – which was my mother’s maiden name. I have traced our family records going back to the early 18th century (when my ancestors were living in the Parish of St Stephen in Brannel) and although the spelling of the surname varies from one Parish Register to another (Bennata, Benneto, Bennetto) our background appears to be solidly Cornish. I am aware of the possible derivations from St Benedict but I am curious to know if t any research exists to help pinpoint when the name entered common usage ?
Thanks in advance for any advice that you may be able to offer.
Gerald (Lewis)
Bennetto was a Cornish language diminutive (or possibly patronymic) of Bennett. It appears well before the 18th century. In the early 1500s however it was restricted entirely to west Penwith and usually spelt Bennettow. By the mid-17th century it was still confined to three parishes there – St Just, St Buryan and Paul. But maybe one bearer of the name at least had moved east, as there is a Stephen Bennetto in St Enoder in 1641. (The situation is a bit complicated by the presence of a few Bennetts in St Enoder, so it’s just possible that the name arose separately in mid-Cornwall.) The name then ramifies in that area but strangely disappears from Penwith by the 1700s.
Thanks Bernard, that is very interesting and helpful. The earliest Bennetto ancestor that I have been able to verify was John Bennetaw from St Just – who died in 1596 – but from their west Cornwall origins, subsequent generations of my family moved very slowly east over the course of the next two centuries. The Stephen Bennetto that you refer to in St Enoder in 1641 is, I think, probably my Great Grandfather x 8 (his name is spelt Benetta on some documents that I have seen) and his son Edward (my Gt Gdfr x 7) moved to St Stephen in Brannel a few years after his marriage in 1671. My branch of the Bennetto family then seems to have remained in and around St Stephen for most of the next century before a second wave of movement sent them first to Fowey (where my GT Gdfr x5, James Bennetto, was Vicar from 1784 until 1818) and then on to almost all points of the compass during the 19th Century. The use of Bennetto as a consistent form of spelling for the family name seems to have occurred sometime around 1800.
Thanks again for your help.
Gerald.
Many thanks for that. It’s good to know that my data based on aggregate occurrences of the name is confirmed so well (and enriched) by your family research. If you don’t mind, I may use some of your examples in my forthcoming book on Surnames in Cornwall, properly accredited of course.
Hi Bernard. If any of my Bennetto family research is of interest, you would be very welcome to reference it. The earliest Bennettos / Benettaws that I have been able to trace (three males – who may have been brother or cousins – called, Richard, Benat (or possibly Benedict) and John) seem to originate from St Just in Penwith in the mid 1500s but their marriages, and the baptisms of their children, all occurred in Sancreed Parish. Over the next 200 years my family line seems to have travelled from Sancreed (late 1500s) to St Enedor (mid 1600s), then St Stephen in Brannel (late 1600s) and eventually Fowey (late 1700s). I can chart the C18th family history with a good degree of confidence – we have been able to trace a few family wills and papers in the Cornwall County archives – but the earlier names and dates are based on a combination of Cornwall OPC database searches, Phillimore and some individual Parish Transcripts – so my pre-1700 research is almost certain to contain a few gaps and errors of detail.
Post 1800, the Bennettos started to explore the wider world – with the adventurous ones travelling to Australia and North America whilst the more timorous tiptoed across the Tamar into Devon (which is where my Grandfather, my Mother and I were all born).
Happy to correspond further if you think that I may have information that would be of use to you.
Susan Roberts says:
What about the surnames Mills? Any history on that name?
Yes, for instance in Cornwall the -s begins to be added in numbers to Mill around the 1620s/30s. In 1641 only 7% were Mills, the rest still Mill. By 1861 the proportions were 54-46 in favour of Mills.
Malcolm Martyn says:
any thing on the Martyn family name? know its been around in Cornwall for a very long time
Hi, Malcom. Martyn was the original spelling of Martin. It’s from the personal name, which was also a saint’s name and one of the most popular bynames and surnames across Cornwall in the early 1500s.This spelling lingered longer in Cornwall than elsewhere, making it 40 times more common in Cornwall in 1881 than the UK as a whole (Martin was three times more common incidentally).
Jed Scoles says:
Anything on the name ‘Treverton’? It’s an old family surname that I’ve carried. I moved to Cornwall last year as a student and then started seeing names like ‘Trevenson’ appear mostly in Pool, Camborne and Redruth.
Treverton is a spelling variant of Trevarthen, which comes form a place at St Columb. There’ll be a map of the distribution of Trevertons in 1861 on this site sometime soon and it appears in my forthcoming book.
Keith Thomas says:
Hi Bernard, Interesting piece you have here that I have found fascinating, thank you. I have been researching my THOMAS family that goes all the way back on my peternal line to Richard Thomas of St Key (my Great Grand father x 13) in 1520 his father, also Richard, would have been born around 1500.
What is interesting is that over the period from 1500 – this day all the names that my Thomas’s have married into and been married to are all represented in your collection of Cornish names. Together with information I gleaned from Professor Charles Thomas prior to his death and others have given me much insite into Cornwall, although I was born across the border in Devon.
MTraywick says:
Hello, this is an interesting article! What’s really interesting is that it comes right on the heels of my brother insisting to me that our last name is Cornish. I had spent most of my life believing we were Dutch on my paternal grandfather’s side, and then (due to some admittedly dodgy surname origin sites) began to tentatively think it was Welsh, so when he said “Cornish” it really knocked me for a loop. However, prior to hearing him say that I had read that “Traywick” came from “Trevithick” (I *think*), and so, even though the focus of this article was more on what Cornish surnames *don’t* begin with, for example, “Tre”, I’m now interested to know: *Is* this a Cornish name? Do you know? And if so, what exactly does it mean? I have read it means “Tree of the little village” but I’m not sure now.
Apologies if you’re tired of surname comments! :S
Traywick is not a variant of Trevithick that I’ve come across before. If it was, then the emphasis must have shifted from the second syllable to the first at some point, which makes it less likely. The meaning of the place-name is either ‘farm at a place of trees’ or Budock or Bidic’s farm.
Hello again Bernard, did you ever reach an opinion about the origin of the family name Growse in Essex and Suffolk?If you remember I thought there were traces of the name Growse in Carminow (which subsequently seem to have become Grose). I would be very interested in hearing your verdict.Best wishes,
Nick Growse
I think I must remain sceptical Nick. I’d look for similar names in East Anglia for the origin of Growse before coming back to Grose/(an) Growse as a possibility. Only detailed family history could answer this and I admit I have no evidence either way
okay, Bernard, many thanks. It is true the family has always assumed we come from the Gros/Grose/Groos family in Norfolk, except that there is no obvious reason why they would suddenly put a w into the name in the 15th century and stick with it consistently – especially as the Grose/Groos family were still knocking around East Anglia at the same time with their original spellings. “Growse” was never widespread, and seems to have come from one person. And there is this strange connection to the sea (their seal was always an anchor, even in the 17th century) which makes me suspect the Cornish origin. But I will defer to your judgement!
Geoffrey Young says:
Hi. I’ve traced my Cornish Mitchell/Michell ancestors back directly to the late C16th in West Cornwall. From Gwinnear, St Hilary, Marazion and Perranuthnoe. Also I’ve found a Mitchell in the list of Priests in Perranuthnoe church from the late C15th. My question is were these names connected to St Michael’s mount which is in that area?
Michell, the medieval vernacular form of Michael, was a popular name across Cornwall and in the 19th century Cornwall’s 8th most popular name. For a time Michael was regarded as Cornwall’s patron saint. So the Mount was renamed from the general popularity of the saint’s name rather than the name coming from the Mount.
How about Wadge, the name being recorded in Lewannick at least from the early 17th century.
Yes, it was present in Lewannick (and North Hill) from at least 1544 and then never moved very far.
Tracey Knighton says:
Hi – very interesting all of these comments on Cornish names. My family name is Blee which appears mainly around the Breage/Germoe area although not so numerous now. Do you have any information on this name to confirm (or not) that it is a Cornish name?
I haven’t found examples earlier than the 1700s and assume it must be a local spelling variant of Bligh.
Vivienne Garforth says:
My maiden name was Opie. My g-grandfather and his two brothers emigrated to Australia in 1860s from Perranarworthal and their grandparents were from Stithians. I’m very proud of my Cornish heritage, names include Opie, Michael (apparently pronounced Mitchell), Rawling, Bath, Collings and Trevillian. Can you tell me what the origin of Opie/Oppy/Opy is, please?
It was a first name in the middle ages, supposedly a shortened form of Osborn or Osbert or similar.
Thank you for that. I read in a book on Cornish surnames in the library in Truro about twenty years ago (during a holiday that included a pilgrimage to Cornwall) that anyone called Opie (all spellings) was a direct descendant of Celtic King Oby. I thought it was a bit fanciful and I’ve never been able to find anything on Oby. I think your answer sounds more plausible.
More boring though!
John Mathews says:
Hi there. Though my surname ‘Mathews’ appears to be a corruption of ‘Matthews’, it actually came from Breton ‘Mathieu” (or similar) and is therefore distinct. We’ve been on St Michael’s Mount since the late 1600’;s….and almost any ‘Mathews’ in West Cornwall is likely related to us.
Another older surname (who we’re also descendant of) is ‘Gubbs’, though I think it is long extinct in West Cornwall (at least the descendants of Pz mayor Anthony Gubbs, anyway).
Also, to add to the mystery, the Gilbert that I cannot find his birthplace married a ‘Verchell’ in Phillack. I cannot find that name anywhere. I have found one or two Verchills in Jacobstow ( a long way away), and suspect it might be linked to Berchell, or Berchill or Burchell/Burchill or Verchild, or even Fairchild. Any clues to that? is that a Cornish name?
Gilbert/Jelbert etc. is another of those first names introduced by the Normans that then became fairly common surnames – like William and Richard. In the C16th there were Gilberts (of various spellings) all over Cornwall so their presence in Phillack is hardly surprising. I can’t really add anything more than can be found in my book..
Verchell is more intriguing. As you say it could be from Berchell (or Merchell) with the or becoming a , a common change in the Cornish language. The lack of any Verchell/Berchell or Merchell examples earlier than the 1600s might also suggest a corruption of an imported name. Just guesses!
Mark Guy says:
Great site – Thank you for your work. I’m finding all the reading to be informative to the point of fascinating.
Like many of the other posters I found the site because of Cornish roots. My pedigree is full of Cornish names on both sides – Guy, Gray, Rowe, Elliott, Hoskin, Hawking/Hawken, Worden, Calloway, Mallet, Grose, Lang, and on and on. But not a Tre, Pol, or Pen among them……
Thanks for all the time you’ve obviously put into this.
melodyingreece says:
What an interesting site and I believe your book is now available? I wonder if you can shed any light on when and where the name TICKEL or TICKELL first appeared in Cornwall?
Yes, the name is in the book. The first example I have is an Ann Tickle, married at Lawhitton, near Launceston in 1676. The name then spread quickly in east Cornwall.
Layo M Nathan says:
Hello Bernard, greetings from Australia. Thanks for your very interesting and informative work. I’ve so much enjoyed browsing your site. I haven’t seen any mention of Sleeman, or variations of that spelling in your lists . I had always thought it was a Cornish name. My great grandfather was born near St Sampson’s church in Southill and was called Sampson Sleeman. I wondered if the origin was a corruption of Solomon or even Sulaiman? I have read somewhere there were many Jews living in Cornwall as reflected in Jewish sounding place names. Is that possible, do you think? Many thanks for your time.
Hi Layo,
Sleeman is there in my book. From the early distribution of this surname – well to the east – I concluded its origin was as in England and rather more mundane – probably from various sources. Soloman was more of a mid-Cornwall name. And, while there were small Jewish communities in the 1800s in Penzance and Falmouth, the Jewish sounding place-names are actually Cornish, for example Marazion.
Lexi Lundell says:
Hi! Such an interesting article. My 7th grandmother has the surname Pasco. To my knowledge she is Jewish, but I am really looking to prove it! Do you know anything about the Jewish origins of the surname Pasco or how I could figure that out? 🙂
Hi Lexi,
I wasn’t aware Pasco had any Jewish origins. None of the main surname dictionaries mention it. Its fairly common in western Europe as a nickname for someone born around Easter, which also makes it unlikely to have connections with the Jewish faith. It’s possible however that Pasco was a spelling vaiant of another Jewish surname.

Sian says:
I can trace my Goad line back to James Goad and Jane Crowzier Marriage 1676 Gwennap. The tree says they were both from Gwennap but not sure if that’s right. Is Goad a Cornish name? I see it in the Cornish names on this site but it says the 1800’s. It appears my Goad was there much earlier but I don’t see Crowzier. Any clue on Goad or Crowzier origins?
In my book I hedge my bets on Goad, not sure whether it was a spelling variant of Coad or from another personal name. Your example is indeed an early one. The earliest I’ve found are marriages in east Cornwall at Menheniot (1638) and St Winnow (1664). Nearer to Gwennap the surname appears at Mabe and Budock in the early 1670s. The name was more common in Devon, where in the medieval period there were people called Goda, presumably an old English personal name. But as Coad was found, in east Cornwall at least, from an earlier date my hunch is still that it was a re-spelling of that name. (This needs proving by a family historian!)
As for Crowzier your guess is as good as mine. The name doesn’t appear in either the 1641 Protestation lists for Cornwall or the 1861 census and there’s nothing obviously close. There are suggestions it could be a spelling variant of Crawshaw. But as this is from a place in Lancashire that seems unlikely.
Christine Warren says:
I was surprised not to see the name of Friggens or Fryggens mentioned here. I have just been researching the Friggens family tree for a relative, and found almost 13 generations of them in Cornwall, in fact I found so many in the village of Gulval, there must surely still be a lot of them there.
It’s in mybook – pages 63/64 – see https://bernarddeacon.com/the-surnames-of-cornwall-a-forthcoming-book/
The further I go back, the more the names seem to become more Latin sounding, like Richardi, Richardus, Cypriani, Honoria and the glorious one of Georgius Gregorius. Would this initially be anything to do with supporting the Prayer Book Rebellion?
The reason is the clergy were more likely to use Latin than English as you go back in the records. I’m not sure about the connection with the 1549 rising but it would be interesting to hypothesize that priests who stuck with Latin would be more likely to support the rising on the grounds that they were more conservative in outlook.
Lynne Crichton née Jane says:
Thanks so much for such a wonderful site!
My great Grandfather Samson Jane came to Australia in 1870 from Bodmin in Cornwall. I have traced the family back to the early 1700’s and they were mainly around Lanlivery and Lanhydrock with other associated names of Hugo, Vyvyan/Vivian, Symons/Symons, Vague.
Have you any insight into these names as originating in Cornwall please.
They’re all good Cornish surnames, Lynne, and have been found in Cornwall since the 1500s, although, as I suggest in my book, in Cornwall Hugo may have evolved from the Cornish name Higow, which meant son of, or family of Hick (a form of Richard).
Lynne Crichton says:
Thanks Bernard,
Of course the family story always told was that Victor Hugo’s sister came to Cornwall and married a Jane. 😂 I debunked that story many years ago.
Hello again Bernard, always interested in your posts. I remember you writing that at one time you had believed that the Gross (or Grosse) family might come from Crows/an Grows (the place-name). Putting aside the origins of my own family, it occurred to me that in Carminow there were Arundell tenants called Growse at the end of the 15th and early 16th centuries, and then none afterwards except but various people called Grosse (Gross) – and nobody of that name before the 17th century. Does that not suggest that they are one and the same family?
It does indeed, Nick.
Bernard Hodges says:
I find your site very interesting as I am in the process of tracing my William Waters of St. Buryan tree and the names of Borlase,Pawley, Keigan,Tresteane,Godolphin,Maddern Arundell and many more and the history of Cornwall is absolutely fascinating. We are hoping to visit next year to see the churches and villages of my ancestors. Thanking you , Bernard Hodges ( Australia)
Warren JOB says:
G’day mate, many thanks in advance for producing the book. ..Question, can i ask does my family surname of JOB/JOBE appear in your book..?….. Earliest record in Gwennapp parish register 1672 has him(JOBE) as a miner, later his 3rd great grandson took his family to Australia in 1848, with a consignment of miners & families to the copper mine at Molong NSW
G’day Warren. Yep, it’s there, on page 89.
Martin Vellenoweth. says:
Some great reading on your website. My name is Martin Vellenoweth, born in Truro 1968. As you are aware Vellenoweth is as Cornish as it gets. Meaning New Mill in English. Of course a slightly different spelling to Vellanoweth of other place names in the county.
Lyn Prowse-Bishop says:
What a great post and fascinating comments. My name is Prowse. Family is divided over origins with one person saying its French-derived (Prouz) claiming earliest reference to the Prouz family having it’s seat at Gidleigh Castle inDartmoor… One relative claiming it was gifted after assistance given in 1066. But what I DO know is my great great grandfather was James Prowse who came to Australia in 1857, born in Penzance in 1836 and noted in the census when he was 14 as a miner in Gulval. The family historian was able to trace back from my great great grandfather to about 1740 to Robert Prowse of St Buryan. So is that enough to make the name Cornish? 😄 Are we in your book? I tried to purchase it but it doesn’t ship to Australia… Unlike my ancestors it would seem 😂😂
Yes, Prowse is in there so it’s Cornish by my definition! For what it’s worth, in the nineteenth century there were more Prowse/Prouses in Devon than Cornwall however. Incidentally, I think you can get the ebook version of my book in Australia.
emmapowellauthor says:
Fascinating stuff! Wish I’d found all this sooner. My nan was a Porter/Knuckey from Mylor but whose dad was a Williams from Wales. They moved to London for work, hence I’m a Londoner but consider myself Cornish 😉 Will be ordering your book 👍
L. E. O Callan says:
Great site. I am researching the surname ‘West’ in Cornwall. The earliest instances I have found was 1544 in St Just in Roseland and in Roche (1555). It is associated with Redruth from 1562 and Camborne from 1564. Any information would be greatly appreciated
There are earlier examples in the subsidy lists – at Cubert, Crantock, St Gluvias, Germoe, St Merryn in 1524, Philleigh in 1525 and Roche and Ladock in 1543. As we might expect with this name it was fairly scattered but at the same time appears to be restricted to mid-Cornwall at this date.
L E O Callan says:
Thank you for the information. Seeing as Cornwall is as far west as you can get, the usual explanation ‘a person from the west’ may not apply. Could the name be a toponymic of Cornish origin or a case of Somerset or Devon in-migration?
Ingenious. But I suspect the usual explanation – someone who lived to the west -applies to Cornwall as much as to elsewhere. Moreover, the word for west in middle Cornish was … ‘west’! We should also assume the ‘west’ here applies to a very small scale – in the west of a parish, to the west of a village etc., rather than from a western region of the British Isles, which is a scale people wouldn’t think in. Clearly however, the name was most prevalent in an area from Breage and Camborne in the west to St Merryn in the east whereas it was unknown in earlier times to west and east of that district. So it has a particular Cornish geography, rather than being scattered the length and breadth of the land, like some others. This might suggest a limited number of originating points in that mid-Cornish district somewhere between 1350 and the 1520s.
I was pleased to see two of my ancestral surnames mentioned: Growden and Stephens. The given names were unusual:Jael and Degory, respectively.
Lucretia Seuren says:
My surname is Ivey and I know we were English, just not sure where. Could use some help. My paternal Grandmother’s last name was Sears, and my maternal Grandfather, I believe is Welsh with the surname of Shackley. The Ivey family came to America rather early and landed in Virginia and moved down into North Carolina, near where the Lost Colony is, and then eventually some of them came back to Virginia in my father’s generation and I believe they came back to the place we started which is today Portsmouth, Virginia, which is not too far from Jamestown, Yorktown, and Williamsburg.
alison silvester says:
My mother’s family is mennear and we know her family was cornish….would be nice to know some history if you can find it
It’s in the book, Alison. And there’s a map of the name (with its various spellings) in 1861 here – https://bernarddeacon.com/the-surnames-of-cornwall-a-forthcoming-book/surname-maps-1861/ladner-to-oxnam/
A Trego says:
Your research is fascinating, I’ve just lost hours reading through the queries and your responses on this page!
My surname is Trego and I’ve always been told it’s Cornish, and indeed my family are all from the Westcountry, but I’ve struggled to trace it beyond 150 or so years ago, and even then it doesn’t take it all the way back to Cornwall or a specific location. I notice it’s not in your list but thought you might have insight?
An interesting one. There is a place called Trago, in Cornwall between Liskeard and Bodmin, spelt Treagoe in 1530 when surnames had become fairly comprehensive. The earliest reference to someone in the parish registers called Trago is Polider Trago at Bodmin, not that far from the place, in 1621. However, there’s no-one called Trago or Trego or Treagoe in the Protestation returns of 1641. The surname crops up intermittently in the 17th and 18th centuries, usually spelt Trago but occasionally Trego. One or two are close to the place but several are miles away, for example a William Trego at St Martin in Meneage on the Lizard in 1676 and a Jenkin Trago even further west at Paul in 1697. The lack of a pattern makes me wonder if the name is a variant spelling of another surname, but which I have no idea. And then rather mysteriously there are no Tregos or Tragos at all listed in the 1861 census.
I was wondering if the surnames such as treglawn, tregunning, tregloyn, treglion. if when pronouncing the surname the G is mute
My 3x great grandfather with the surname West came to the US from St. Breock. I traced back census and birth records for my family back to the late 1600s in Roche. I am not having any luck finding links to that surname as far as history or origin. Any ideas? Thanks
The origin of the surname West is usually taken to have been someone who lived to the west of a place, or someone who had moved to that place from the west. As you might expect the name was found fairly widely over the British Isles. It was present in Cornwall in the early 1500s but interestingly only in mid and west Cornwall. The most easterly example then was found at St Merryn, a few miles north of Roche.
That makes sense. Thank you for your response, that insight is helpful. Why back then was it so common to change your surname based on where you moved from or other reasons, instead of carrying on the previous surname? I imagine this would make it near impossible for me to trace lineage any further back if the name had changed.
This page explains when bynames became hereditary surnames – bernarddeacon.com/cornish-surnames/where-surnames-come-from-a-brief-history/
Hi Bernard…I was wondering if I could procure a copy of your book. Also having read through this page and the comments I didn’t see any mention of the names Lemall (Lamall) and Botterill. In the family I am researching these names come together in marriage…which makes me think there is a cultural connection….they sound French but are not Huguenot (from what I can gather), both families come from around St Ives. Have you come across either name? Many thanks.
Hi Susanne, Yes, I’ve come across both but can’t help with the origin. Lemall was late to arrive, the first example I can find is a baptism in 1723 and then it remained a very specifically St Ives name although strangely there appears to be no household headed by someone with this name in 1861. Bottrell (there are many spellings) is in the book, although I conclude there that its origin is ‘uncertain’! I’m afraid the only way to get the book in Australia is as an e-book from Amazon.
Such an interesting article/post! This clarifies my ancestry research a bit more. I recently found my father and have traced his lineage up to William Udy (ancestor of Huddy, last name possibly Eudy, from 1505 who was the father of William Udy in 1522, from Luxulyan, Cornwall). I was interested in tracing it back from this article, but I can’t seem to find anything further. Any idea what the last name could have been prior to this?
IVEY says:
Hello. My Cornwall relatives were surnamed Ivey and Eva and Stoneman and Halse. It’s Ivey I’m interested in. Is this a Cornish name? areas uh i know Pool, Redruth, Illogan being American I only know they were from these places in Cornwall.
Patricia Corbus says:
My name is Patricia Guynup Corbus. I believe that the first Guynup (so many variant spellings!) came to America in 1686 on the ship Desire. I’ve met Guynups in Cornwall, but they had little information. Is it simply a place name? Could it go back to Guingamp in France? So many thanks! Pat Corbus
There’s no place I know of in Cornwall called Guynup. Do you mean Gwennap, which is a surname from a parish neighbouring Redruth?.
Yes , I mean Gwennap, same pronunciation, and one of the 16 ways to spell the name. I’m happy to find your website. Have you come across any Gwennaps? Yours, Pat Guynup Corbus
Yes, there was a John Gwenep at Sennen in 1545, although the name doesn’t show up in the parish registers until the 1650s. When it does it was confined to West Penwith which suggests it originated not in the parish of Gwennap as I’d assumed but in the placename Gwennap (Head) at St Levan.

Famous Orators of the World and Their Best Orations
By Charles Morris
HENRY WATTERSON (1840)
THE POPULAR ORATOR AND EDITOR OF KENTUCKY
MONG the phrases widely current in the American political
world is that of “ Tariff for revenue only," a Democratic
slogan which has formed the war-cry in more than one hardfought battle for the Presidency, and which is credited to the fertile brain of Henry Watterson, one of the ablest among Western editors. As a counterpoise against tariff for protection, this phrase has had a telling effect in political and economical argument.. Watterson began hir career as a newspaper writer in Washington, returning to his paternal home in Tennessee at the outbreak of the Civil War, and serving in the Confederate army. Since 1868 he has been known as the able and trenchant editor of the Courier Journal, of Louisville. An old-line Democrat of the Jefferson and Jackson school, he has steadily worked for this wing of his party. Watterson is eloquent and popular as an orator, both in the political and lecture field, and in the lighter vein of the “after-dinner” speech.
A VISION OF AMERICAN HISTORY
[One of Watterson's choicest efforts in oratory is his oration delivered October 21, 1892, at the dedication of the Columbian World's Fair in Chicago. From this fine address we select one of the most eloquent passages.]
We look before and after, and we see, through the half-drawn folds of time, as though through the solemn archways of some grand cathedral, the long procession pass, as silent and as real as a dream. The caravals, tossing upon Atlantic billows, have their sails refilled from the East, and bear away to the West; the land is reached, and fulfilled is the vision whose actualities are to be gathered by other hands than his who planned the voyage and steered the bark of discovery; the long-sought golden day has come to Spain at last, and Castilian conquests tread upon one another
fast enough to pile up perpetual power and riches. But even as simple justice was denied Columbus, was lasting tenure denied the Spaniard.
We look again, and we see in the far Northeast the Old World struggle between the French and English transferred to the New, ending in the tragedy upon the heights above Quebec; we see the sturdy Puritans in bell-crowned hats and sable garments assail in unequal battle the savage and the elements, overcoming both to rise against a mightier foe; we see the gay but dauntless Cavaliers, to the southward, join hands with the Roundheads in holy rebellion. And lo, down from the green-walled hills of New England, out of the swamps of the Carolinas, come faintly to the ear, like far-away forest leaves stirred to music by autumn winds, the drum-taps of the Revolution; the tramp of the minute-men, Israel Putnam riding before; the hoof-beats of Sumter's horse galloping to the front; the thunder of Stark's guns in spirit battle; the gleam of Marion's watchfires in ghostly bivouac ; and there, there in serried, saint-like ranks on Fame's eternal camping-ground stand,
“ The old Continentals
In their ragged regimentals,
Yielding not,” as, amid the singing of angels in Heaven, the scene is shut out from our mortal vision by proud and happy tears.
We see the rise of the young republic, and the gentlemen in knee breeches and powdered wigs who made the Constitution. We see the little nation menaced from without. We see the riflemen in hunting shirt and buckskin swarm from the cabin in the wilderness to the rescue of country and home; and our hearts swell to see the second and final decree of independence won by the prowess and valor of American arms upon the land and sea.
And then, and then,-since there is no life of nations or of men without its shadow or its sorrow,—there comes a day when the spirits of the fathers no longer walk upon the battlements of freedom ; and all is dark; and all seems lost save liberty and honor, and, praise God! our blessed Union. With these surviving, who shall marvel at what we see to-daythis land filled with the treasures of earth; this city, snatched from the ashes to rise in splendor and renown, passing the mind of man to preconceive ? Truly, out of trial comes the strength of man ; out of disaster comes the glory of the state.
THE PURITAN AND THE CAVALIER To tell you the truth, I am afraid that I have gained access here on false pretences; for I am no Cavalier at all; just plain Scotch-Irish ; one of
those Scotch-Irish Southerners who ate no fire in the green leaf and has eaten no dirt in the brown, and who, accepting, for the moment, the terms Puritan and Cavalier in the sense an effete sectionalism once sought to ascribe them-descriptive labels at once classifying and separating North and South; verbal redoubts along that mythical line called Mason and Dixon, over which there were supposed by the extremists of other days to be no bridges—I am much disposed to say, “A plague o' both your houses!"'
Each was good enough and bad enough in its way, whilst they lasted ; each in its turn filled the English-speaking world with mourning; and each, if either could have resisted the infection of the soil and climate they found here, would be to-day striving at the sword's point to square life by the iron rule of Theocracy, or to round it by the dizzy whirl of a petticoat! It is very pretty to read about the Maypole of Virginia and very edifying and inspiring to celebrate the deeds of the Pilgrim Fathers. But there is not Cavalier blood enough left in the Old Dominion to produce a single crop of first families, whilst out in Nebraska and Iowa they claim that they have so stripped New England of her Puritan stock as to spare her hardly enough for farm hands. This I do know from personal experience, that it is impossible for the stranger-guest, sitting beneath a bower of roses in the Palmetto Club at Charleston, or by a mimic log-heap in the Algonquin Club at Boston, to tell the assembled company apartparticularly after ten o'clock in the evening! Why, in that great, final struggle between the Puritans and the Cavaliers—which we still here sometimes casually mentioned, although it ended nearly thirty years ago—there had been such a mixing up of Puritan babies during the two or three generations preceding it that the surviving grandmothers of the combatants could not, except for their uniforms, have picked out their own on any field of battle!
Turning to the Cyclopædia of American Biography, I find that Webster had all the vices that are supposed to have signalized the Cavalier, and Calhoun all the virtues that are claimed for the Puritan. During twenty years three statesmen of Puritan origin were the chosen party leaders of Cavalier Mississippi: Robert J. Walker, born and reared in Pennsylvania ; John A. Quitman, born and reared in the good old State of Maine. That sturdy Puritan, Slidell, never saw Louisiana until he was old enough to vote and to fight; native here—an alumnus of Columbia College—but sprung from New England ancestors. Albert Sydney Johnston, the most resplendent of modern Cavaliers—from tip to toe a type of the species; the very rose and expectancy of the young Confederacy–did not have a drop of Southern blood in his veins; Yankee on both sides of the house, though born in Kentucky a little while after his father and
mother arrived there from Connecticut. The Ambassador who serves our Government near the French Republic was a gallant Confederate soldier and is a representative Southern statesman ; but he owns the estate in Massachusetts where his father was born, and where his father's fathers lived through many generations.
And the Cavaliers, who missed their stirrups, somehow, and got into Yankee saddles? The woods were full of them. If Custer was not a Cavalier, Rupert was a Puritan. And Sherwood and Wadsworth and Kearny, and McPherson and their dashing companions and followers ! The one typical soldier of the war-mark you !—was a Southern, not a Northern, soldier ; Stonewall Jackson, of the Virginia line. And, if we should care to pursue the subject farther back, what about Ethan Allen and John Stark and Mad Anthony Wayne—Cavaliers each and every one? Indeed, from Israel Putnam to “Buffalo Bill,” it seems to me the Puritans have had rather the best of it in turning out Cavaliers. So the least said about the Puritan and the Cavalier-except as blessed memories or horrid examples—the better for historic accuracy.
If you wish to get at the bottom of facts, I don't mind telling youin confidence--that it was we Scotch-Irish who vanquished both of you ; some of us in peace, others of us in war-supplying the missing link of adaptability, the needed ingredient of common sense, the conservative principle of creed and action, to which this generation of Americans owes its intellectual and moral emancipation from frivolity and pharisaism, its rescue from the Scarlet Woman and the mailed hand, and its crystallization into a national character and polity, ruling by force of brains and not by force of arms.
HE Adams family, as was said in a former sketch, has been
notable in the history of oratory and patriotism. It has two
Presidents to its credit, John Adams, and John Quincy Adams, father and son, both famous statesmen and ardent patriots. Later in the line we meet with Charles Francis Adams, the able statesman and diplomatist, and his son, of the same name; the latter a cavalry soldier in the war, later on a railroad commissioner and arbitrator, and always a true scion of his patriotic ancestry. He was elected president of the Union Pacific Railway in 1884, and became presiding officer of the Massachusetts Historical Society in 1895. While all the distinguished men of the family have won reputation as orators, the one now under consideration is certainly not the least eloquent among them. In 1883, in his address entitled, “A College Fetich," he sharply criticised the American system of higher education, stirring up the adherents of the system to an acrimonious discussion of his strongly expressed views
THE VETERANS OF GETTYSBURG [On the 4th of July, 1869, the sixth anniversary of the greatest battle of the Civil War, Mr. Adams delivered an oration at Quincy, Massachusetts, on this subject, which is looked upon as his masterpiece, though he has other eloquent speeches to his credit. We give the patriotic peroration of this admirable address, following a most animated description of the hasty march to Gettysburg.]
It is said that at the crisis of Solferino, Marshal McMahon appeared with his corps upon the field of battle, his men having run for seven miles. We need not go abroad for examples of endurance and soldierly bearing. The achievement of Sedgwick and the brave Sixth Corps, as they marched upon the field of Gettysburg on that second day of July, far excels the vaunted efforts of the French Zouaves.
